Happy February... 47 days 'til spring.

Gee
What a joyful reminder! Thanks for that, Mister Kirkland - and for the great music (though we are now without Ms Faithfull, rest her soul…)

6:14 PM, February 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Gee!

On a cold day, the reminder that Spring is coming is encouraging and great music can help us make it there, thanks Steve 👍

Steve Kirkland (host)
Wally... we think alike!

Good, crispy evening!

Re "spring": I've noticed for quite a few years that south-facing indoor plants , by around February 8, have started regrowing, or growing a lot faster. A week from now. Roughly.

Wally
Enjoying the mod set of songs 👌👍

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Benoît, it is a crisp one... made more palatable by the fact it was so sunny today... the falling sun turned the sky a lovely orange.... and Thanks for the indoor gardening tip!

Steve Kirkland (host)
Thought you'd like that string of tracks Wally.

My brother and I saw A Certain Ratio in Montreal just after their first album came out and they put on a brilliant show.

7:42 PM, February 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
I bet, Wally. Club concerts in the 80s... sweet memories... well, the ones I still retain, anyway.

7:43 PM, February 1st, 2025
Terry M.
Enjoyed that trumpet, thanks for that

Dave JC
I've been in the corning sitting quietly listening. Thanks Steve A big one tomorrow at 11:30.

A beautiful version of Biko. However, Peter Gabriel's original feels a hell of a lot more visceral -- the sound of Gabriel's voice, dramatic as anything.

7:45 PM, February 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Terry. Thanks for dropping a line, Cheers.

7:47 PM, February 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Mr. JC, Good Evening... yes... you can bet I'm rooting for the home team...

Is there any way to search for "Now Playing"?

7:50 PM, February 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Benoît, I haven't heard a bad version of Biko, expressly because it is a great song, notwithstanding that for the same reason, it's a challenge to do it justice. I'm with you on Gabriel's original.

7:50 PM, February 1st, 2025
Jonas
OK. It looks like it's the last one in the list.

7:51 PM, February 1st, 2025
Wally
Saw Peter Gabriel perform Biko at the Civic Center in the early 1980’s, what a great song and it's hard to match his version but I still live hearing covers

7:55 PM, February 1st, 2025
Wally
That shoukd say "love hearing covers"

7:56 PM, February 1st, 2025
Wally
I still can't type 😖

7:57 PM, February 1st, 2025
Benoît
Thanks for the show! Rich with "stuff"...

Jonas, no such feature unfortunately, but glad you figured it out. Cheers!
