Gee
…. yes, but your cool spins are a sure cure for the heat…! Thanks, mister! And speakin’ of cool sounds and “haze”- how about that Isley brothers/Hendrix mix of “Four Dead in Ohio/Machine Gun”…? Cheers, Mr Kirkland…!

Steve Kirkland (host)
You're welcome Gee. (Still haven't listened to that mix yet...)

I was just reflectin’ on that song: I only heard it Once - on CBC back in the ‘70s. I think it was “Two New Hours” on CBC. They played Frank Marino’s live version of “ Machine Gun”, then The Isley Brothers/Hendrix version. So long ago… Oh - Don’t forget Marc Ribot playing tomorrow night…!

Steve Kirkland (host)
Aw Gee, I didn't forget Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog is playing tomorrow night... what I did forget was to bring in the album to play something of it... (I did play a track off it yesterday on Studio J Jukebox: https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/584/70814.html)

Listenin’ to Bloomfield/Kooper - someday you gotta play “Bury My Body” off that record! The back up singers are just out if this world - and the song itself… You gotta put it on the turntable and crank it up . Great fabulous song…
