[As you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE doesn't stream their audio to here; i have to connect via a VPN, to spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ i was listening from Pittsburgh. I don't recall ever being there before, at least cybernautically. I have been there in "real life" (whatever that is).]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Henry David Thoreau: If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
I won't say that this radio program is the only thing that makes my life worth living. I have my health, after all; food, shelter, a cat who loves me (albeit only because i feed her) and more money in the bank than i know what to do with. A show like this morning's, though, was definitely the highlight of an otherwise tedious week. I'm grading it an “A”.
There's was nothing annoying – no, not even the Ted Nugent song! I could probably have lived without the 16½ minute piece by Nektar, but there was nothing wrong with it, it's just that there are so many better 16½ minute pieces. And yet again this week, no “deep track” by The Beatles? So much other great stuff, though, right from the opening track, and so much that i have in my own collection – which is one of my criteria for grading the show each week.
The highlight? Although it wasn't the greatest song this morning, it was an enormous pleasure to hear Cheryl Dilcher. I'd never heard of her until i started listening to KSHE and somehow feel a personal connection to her. Alas, there's not much about her life on the Internet. She was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, was mixed up with the son of the mayor of St Louis at one time – and was very popular there. She performed on a George Harrison album, George was a fan. She only made four albums (i have one of them, the others are very hard to find now) and she died in 2005 at the age of 58.

The double CDs on my personal playlist this week have been marked with a thorn (þ). Well, why not? Anyone can use an asterisk. Am i wrong to prefer and Old English / modern Icelandic letter, usually pronounced as a voiceless dental fricative (e.g., the “th” in “the”). Be grateful there were no triple or quadruple sets this time – i may have had to resort to Chinese ideograms!
