Wally
Here from the start and liking what I hear 😊👏

6:12 PM, January 13th, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Wally... come for the music... and stay for the wings.

6:15 PM, January 13th, 2024
Dave JC
Hey Steve. Concur with Wally.

6:21 PM, January 13th, 2024
Benoît
Hey ho! Snow shoveling day...

6:25 PM, January 13th, 2024
Wally
Cheers Dave 👍

Steve Kirkland (host)
Good on you Mr.JC!

6:27 PM, January 13th, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Benoît, enough of that.. for now, anyways. As far as the snow's concerned it's case of more, more, more... (how do you like it?)

6:28 PM, January 13th, 2024
Benoît
I don't bitch about the snow. Three times today; helping neighbours (who help back), maybe two hours total. But I'd be a fool to complain: the snow's "psychologically right", besides, it's just a fact. It's not going to stop me from getting to Yellow Jacket Avenger at the Kaffe, this evening.

6:39 PM, January 13th, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Agreed, factually. B. Didn't stop me from getting here, and won't stop me getting home. Repeat.

6:47 PM, January 13th, 2024
Benoît
Interesting set. Up, down, sideways...

Benoît
Just to add (weather-wise): we're not in Alberta, in parts of which farmers are noting -50 to -58 at night. One comment on reddit: "I love how this sub has turned into Alberta Rants LOL. But I get it, from Edmonton and she cold as fuck out." Yeah.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Weather is more of everything these days, at whatever end of the spectrum... and, as Canadians, remains foremost in our psyches, and instinctively conversational.

Frankie
Beautiful flow to these musical sets. A typo correction, perhaps a la Benoit. The Genesis cover should read: "The Carpet Crawlers" Picky, right?

7:17 PM, January 13th, 2024
Frankie
Ha, I was wrong about my typo correction, the song title is indeed "Carpet Crawlers"

7:24 PM, January 13th, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Frankie... I love the nod to Benoît, you are of course correct... amended. Thanks... glad you're enjoying the mix.

7:25 PM, January 13th, 2024
Benoît
"Correctness in typos is not picky." Me, right now ;-s)

7:30 PM, January 13th, 2024
Dave JC
And did you ever watch Slow Horses Steve?

7:31 PM, January 13th, 2024
Steve Kirkland (host)
Start to finish across three seasons Mr JC...not all at once, mind...

7:33 PM, January 13th, 2024
Benoît
Bye! Rest of the show in the car... Thanks!

7:33 PM, January 13th, 2024
Frankie
Thanks for that quote Benoit. I

7:37 PM, January 13th, 2024
