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 in order to spoof an American address, and this week i was listening from Atlanta, Georgia.
Quotation of the week: Kate Bush ~ In a popular medium, you're going to get loads of stuff that is trite, but there'll also be some really special moments.
And that quotation pretty much sums up this week's Klassics Show, with it's okay but not wonderful grade of “B+”.
As usual of late, has featured a few bona fide classics, one truly disagreeable track (in this case, the Blood Sweat & Tears vomit-o-rama) and a lot of schtuff that, while perfectly enjoyable, was far from exceptional.
Right in the very first hour, we had an all-time favourite by Jeff Beck. Then George Harrison, a Moody Blues fave, Thin Lizzy and all 20+ minutes of Echoes.
Some weeks ago i remarked on the conspicuous absence of female solo artists on this radio show. I couldn't think, at that time of any other than Cheryl Dilcher and Janis Joplin. Sure, there's the female singers in Heart, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac etc., but i was thinking of solo singers. OK, sure, destroy my point by having one (but only one) almost every week since. Today it was Patti Smith and, oh, look, here she is, along with the playlist:
