Benoît
Ouah! je suis 'distingué'! Je m'impressionne!

6:08 PM, March 29th, 2025
B
Good music. Interesting as always. Thankee.

6:09 PM, March 29th, 2025
B
The Tubs singer sounds a little like a younger (?) Richard Thompson.

6:13 PM, March 29th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
you're always welcome, Benoît.

6:17 PM, March 29th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
Indeed, B I read that about Owen WIlliams and had to check The Tubs out.

6:18 PM, March 29th, 2025
B
What is the best song in R n R, and why is it Woolly Bully?

6:21 PM, March 29th, 2025
B
The wiki on Woolly Bully is quite interesting. Short, but packed. In case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooly_Bully

6:25 PM, March 29th, 2025
B
I'm misspelling Wooly!

6:25 PM, March 29th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
B, that's quite a rhetorical (if objectively unanswerable) question, the "what" anyway... the "why" is open to anyone.

Steve Kirkland (host)
Howdy Gee! (in actual fact, I'm on 45 years this month presenting radio on CKCU, long before this program/time slot)

7:47 PM, March 29th, 2025
Gee
…come to think of it - more than …………. 30 years?? Yup. I remember you playing 10,000 Maniacs back in 84…?

7:48 PM, March 29th, 2025
Gee
I did a lot of beard-scratchin’ and was going to say mire than 40 years - but I hesitated…. But - yes - you’re right. Happy 45th an iversary!
