Steve Kirkland (host)
Happy you're sharing live, C, 10-ish PM GMT... Here in Otta-wuh I'm enjoying the bright Spring Sun (much more slowly) setting, through the back window. Almost t-shirt weatherish outside...

6:21 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally bon appetit, gatstronomically and musically

6:21 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Steffi... glad you're tuned in... and spot on

6:22 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steffi in Lowertown
Happy eating, Wally!

Steffi in Lowertown
I've been stuffing myself on hamburgers today, and am planning on making a Sunday sauce, of sorts, tomorrow.

Benoît
I saw three young guys around the Hog's Back Falls, and one was wearing a t-shirt. Pants too, thankfully. What made me smile was that all three had on various sneakers, but SO WHITE, and were stepping oh-so-carefully through mud and puddles. Good rock goin' on!

6:25 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Salut Benoît... white sneakers are the winter boots of youth... gotta keep 'em clean

6:28 PM, March 20th, 2021
Jeb
Blasting it, and eating pierogies.

6:29 PM, March 20th, 2021
Dave JC.
Still hoovering as the 4 instead of 5 hr difference made the matches later. Anyway, I'm tuned in as you can see.

6:30 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Jeb strzelanie tutaj też, ale w trybie mono

6:32 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Mr JC, welcome as always... thin day on the ground for footie, yet to catch up with any higlights...

6:34 PM, March 20th, 2021
Dave JC.
Yeah, the last one was a bit dire. Despite the scoreline. Anyway, off next week...relaxing at home.

6:37 PM, March 20th, 2021
Jeb
Steve, if you say so.

6:37 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
Jeb, Google Translate says, in Polish: blasting it here too, but in mono

6:42 PM, March 20th, 2021
Jeb
Google translation: shooting here too, but in mono mode Still don't get it

6:42 PM, March 20th, 2021
Jeb

6:43 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
I'm blasting the volume here at home, but one of the channels has blown...

6:50 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steffi in Lowertown

Steffi in Lowertown
I love Karen Dalton's voice, but it always makes me feel funny. ... funny peculiar.

7:12 PM, March 20th, 2021
B
Karen Dalton's voice doesn't really want to sing. KD's really got to pull it out. Seems to me, anyway.

7:15 PM, March 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland (host)
S and B, indeed there is something straining to get out in KD's vocals, disconcerting at the very least

7:16 PM, March 20th, 2021
Woody J.
Steve - Saturdays are not Saturdays without your musical sense, musical tastes, musical goodnesses...

7:24 PM, March 20th, 2021

I love making Saturdays musical, Woody... been a passion of mine for many years. Cheers

7:29 PM, March 20th, 2021
