Love your show Steve. Always a great way to help spend early Saturday evenings. I hope this message finds you well. Music request if possible: anything from Jeff Dahl "Wasted Remains of a Disturbed Childhood". ... reminds me of seeing him play at the Dominion so long ago. Thanks!

6:11 PM, May 2nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Steff -- Thanks, I'm well, and I appreciate you listening in. This program is being broadcast live, but was pre-recorded at home... I'll look for the track by Jeff Dahl... it's been at least 10 years since I played anything by him on the radio

Some good Peel sessions. When I first came here from Blighty, I did think of you as Ottawa's own JP, but I know you don't like that comparison. Me feels like it's going to rain. Yes, where did that sun go. Are you going to be able to sort the vinyl out.

7:38 PM, May 2nd, 2020
Dave JC.
Please, some more Goat, BTW:

7:40 PM, May 2nd, 2020
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Dave, like the Goat idea... I admit to not having concentrated on the details of your recommendation re vinyl, so promise to revisit!

Loved the Brother on the Run, that time warped me. Tx.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Ouch... Yes, Yes, I will ensure the musical bed is de-amplified next time round... mea culpa

Steve Kirkland (host)
Time warping is the bomb, Mr. JC
