I like having the countries of origin in brackets, Chris. Thanks. If I lose my place on the playlist it helps me identify where we are. Very useful ! Especially when I am up and down with chores.

Chris Ikonomopoulos (host)
Thanks for the comment Neil. If you lose your place, we'll be as close as we can to the last song listed.

Yes, wow: Chris Ikonomopoulos? It's Monday??? Im so fucked up!!! Been listening, but after that last steel drum track, I had to look it up! Reminded me, and check out steel drum player Othello Molineaux! Especially on this Jaco Pastorius Montréal Jazz Fest show. ,https://youtu.be/TgntkGc5iBo?si=PNT7RJV_8KOMAthJ I was there (sorry for bragging) I shit my pants! Sorry. Anyways, still high on that Kundalini experience from.2 weeks ago,.I can tell you: who cares about what is going on on this planet?!? There is so much more elsewhere!!! If you want to know more about it, you are quite welcome to come here to Khumeai Land! Anytime! Not for the rave! Better not be another one tabarnak! Those fuckers razed the forest in front of my house for that shit!!! But for the spiritual elevation of Bobby Calzone! At least they gave me a pin on Google Maps;) !!! Fuck em, fuck Google (I only use Duckduckgo now). Sorry CRTC but you are full of shit as well! I love you all, everybody everywhere anywhere ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 ❤️ 🤝 ✝️ ✡️ ☪️ 🕉 ☸️ JAH RASTAFARI! CO-EXIST!

Oh, sorry, SPECIAL REQUEST SHOUT OUT to JEREMY! If listening? Or if anybody knows him, please convey the message, if God hasn't done so already. Cheers!

You are like me Peter B. The follow up research of so many artists is half the pleasure of the CKCU journey thanks to the many gracious and generous hosts. with their vinyl collections. Ears wiggle but brains must be fed ! Thanks to the Island Earth Team !!!
