[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 Santa Clara, California, again.]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Ray Charles: Music is nothing separate from me. It is me.
I came very close to grading this week's program a “B”, primarily because of the awful song by REO Speedwagon and the abysmal, embarrasingly bad piece of shite by Bloodrock, but, nah, i'm too nice a guy. Besides, those two musical nightmares were more than compensated for by the sheer brilliance of so much of the rest of the show, so, an “A” it is.
It was really nice to hear The Left Banke – Uman doesn't play much mid-sixties music apart from the British Invasion schtuff.
A few random comments. “Thick As A Brick” was the drastically shortened radio edit. We're never likely to hear the full version, as it's about 45 minutes long, but i can accept that, as long as we get a long song once in a while. My favourite numbers today were those by The Fixx, Jeff Beck (of course!), Renaissance, Buffalo Springfield, Billy Joel and Genesis.
I have a few things to say about Jefferson Starship, but, you know, if you can't say anything nice, blah blah. I loved them as Jefferson Airplane. The first couple of Jefferson Starship albums were pretty good too. After that i completely lost interest. Anyway, here's the playlist:

My personal playlist this time is a bit longer than the lists have been recently. I've been working at my other job more, which makes this a little odd, but a lot of these albums are from the seventies, when records were shorter. The only double album this week was the deluxe edition of McCartney's Ram. The New Musik was a double CD but as each disc had just one album on it, i listed them individually. So sue me.
