What are we safe from, bland boring music I presume 😊

Hi, Steve. Hope you’re well. Your music choices, as usual, are splendid, enjoyable, and enlightening (I jot down the names of a lot of the artists you feature). Thanks. Cheers, sir…

At least that, Wally!

Hi Dave JC! Not sure where. Not sure about quite a bit more than that, to be true.

Was that Hendrix just now?

Mr. JC I suspect I will have to pull a "video" On Demand and tape the match.

I've always loved that single by The Moffs, thanks for playing it. Been looking for it on CD for a whole.

Wally, I got mine at Shake Records -- in their day Ottawa's best record store for some time, and big promoters/vendors of the 80s Oz indie scene -- when they brought in a whack of 7-inches on the Citadel label.

Wally
Yes Shake was an excellent store and when I worked on Elgin Street, I spent many of my lunch hours there browsing, listening to music and buying stuff 👌

Gee
Great show, Steve - “hence, you’re safe ” is a phrase that has more meaning than I can convey to you at present… all kindnesses to you…

Benoît
Thanks for the show!
