Steve Kirkland (host)
Approaching 38 years, Mr. B... That amount of time brings a lot of quality and variety to the show

6:13 PM, November 14th, 2020
ScottyB
Wow! Indeed! Long may you run, Sir, and thank-you!

6:15 PM, November 14th, 2020

And we appreciate having a musical guide on the trip - many thanks Steve!

Steve Kirkland (host)
Indeed Scott. As you know, Ken Hensley, Heep's keyboardist and one of its songwriters, died early this month at 75, apparently actively in the process of recording, which he had never stopped doing for more than half a century. Don't think I listened to much they recorded after 1975, and never in real time
