Good morning from Crofton, BC. Spring Break here!

1:34 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Welcome to the Riot. Please let me know if you are out there. I need to know if there are any musical survivors out there.

1:34 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Hey Daragh, Thanks for listening. From BC too, your antenna must be enormous to pick up the show.

1:35 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I imagine you are very excited to see P.G.. Congratulations Daragh. I know he is one of your favourite artists.

Working away in the record room and tuned in and diggin' the sounds!!!

Frankie
Great band, you could kind of tell from the first few notes.

1:37 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Someone needs to make a documentary on Simon. He looks like one of the Seven dwarves, plays like a god. He came over an addiction problem with long distance swimming & surfing. He plays everything from jazz to hardcore punk, rockabilly to surf guitar instrumentals.

1:40 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
And he's a character originally from the Lower East Side.

1:40 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Frankie
Wow Renny, that Flamingos tune fits in there perfectly.

1:52 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Johnny Loan
Such a beautiful dreamy classic (I only have eyes)

1:52 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Daragh {and Dale)
Dale's liking the Flamingos cover of I Only Have Eyes for you!

1:53 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
There's a beautiful jazz version of it by Lester Bowie.

1:53 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Say hey to Dale.

1:54 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Normally I only play this Blenders' song on Valentine's Day.

1:54 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Frankie
Man, those two tracks really put the hump into hump day.

2:18 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
I thought you would have loved the surf instrumental.

2:19 PM, March 22nd, 2023
tic
All of his music! For $40 USD! Did you buy it all?

2:20 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Hey there hillbilly. Glad you're hear (pun intended).

2:20 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
No. I wrote a review of seeing him play at the Dominion Tavern in the 2000's. I posted it and somebody sent it to him and he contacted me. You would love his surf collection, tic.

What can I say other than salty Doo-wop?

2:43 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)

Renny G (host)
Snuck some of that jazz music in just before the end. The devil's music.

3:21 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Oh yeah, I agree. It makes me think of summer & it makes me hungry.

Jimmy McGriff is one of the great Hammond B3 players in any genre. He really kind of created his own genre, sort of a r&b or soul jazz. Great show thanks Renny.

3:27 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Unfortunately I don't have many of those bands. I never bought music because it was Canadian. I'm bad, I know. I do have a shitload of Huevos Rancheros. I love those guys.

3:27 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thank you all for listening. It is appreciated.

3:27 PM, March 22nd, 2023
Frankie
You ain't bad Renny, quite the opposite, Sir I'm sure you purchased music according to what you liked, or thought you might like.

3:47 PM, March 22nd, 2023
