KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Oct. 3rd, 2021

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. According to whatismyipaddress.com, this week i was listening from Staten Island, New York. 

Quotation Of The Week: Claude Debussy ~ Listen to no one's advice except that of the wind in the trees. That can recount the whole history of mankind. 

Today's was the first edition of The Klassics Show i'd been able to listen to in a month (long story) and i'm afraid i have to call it a major disappointment, The inclusion of a song by Dan Fogelberg automatically means a grade of A+ but honestly, without that the show may just – just -- have scraped by with a C. And it wasn't even one of Dan's better songs! 

 Most of the first hour was pretty much a waste of time, starting with dreadful songs by Ray Manzarek and Rod Stewart and then Eric Clapton reminding us how much he'd forgotten about how to rock and roll. The James Gang's song was pretty good but then, finally, some real music with Thin Lizzy plus the much-loved Phasors On Stun

Things didn't improve much, although there was great music by Bob Seger, Deep Purple, Billy Joel , Marillion and Brownsville Station amd, well, that's about it. Even artists i normally love were represented by inferior songs and that's about it.
