Bonjour Monsieur Renny. Enjoying the show as we go along. Thanks for illustrating the "Cajun" quality of the Richard Thompson track.

It was a time when zydeco fever was contagious.

I think Mindy Sims is channelling Molly Hatchet a bit here.

Renny G (host)
No kidding. This song definitely influenced my decision to play some Seventies RAWK & ROLL afterwards.

Flirting With Disaster would have gone well.

Great 70's rock selections, that Chilliwack tune knocked me for a rocking loop.

Renny G (host)
Ooops! I forget to mention the DMZ. My apologies.

3:23 PM, May 10th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Yes. It's hard to believe that Chilliwack put out good music, but once upon a time they did.

3:24 PM, May 10th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thanks for listening! I do appreciate your feedback & comments. Letting me know that you are out there. Thank you!
