I hope you're hungry.

I'm always hungry. Listening from the basement in London Ontario. Thanx for playing London's The Capers on today's show. I had no idea they were on one of the Las Vegas Grind comps....Thanx for that info. And digging the sounds of those big horns.

1:37 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Thanks Dave. I've dug that song for years. I had no idea they were Canadian until I did the research for the show.

mike p
hungry like a wolf. This is quite to put together! these are all the best sex, songs!

Great show today with these vintage sounds. It shows us that there was a lot of great music way before rock and roll came along.

1:48 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Yeah, the post-war years were a fertile time for great music. In most other respects that time period sucked, but the music was great.

1:50 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Okay, Mountain Oysters are pigs testicles and Prairie Oysters are bull testicles.

These tunes are great, very well written with an entertaining story line.

2:11 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
The good news that you can eat them even if you are allergic to seafood.

2:11 PM, June 14th, 2023
Frankie
Ha, yes thanks for the clarification there.

2:12 PM, June 14th, 2023

crispy fried onions, dates, dilled cues, veggie spread on bread, all on a plate I ate only minutes prior to the show. punk spirit and ethic all through this banquet

2:17 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Mmmm. Sounds nummy to me, mike p.

Apologies to those listeners who are vegans, or lactose intolerant, or suffer from nut allergies & other dietary sensitivities.

2:21 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Also apologies to the planet. Now we know that eating meat is also killing the planet. Yeesh! It was bad enough knowing it was unhealthy for you. Now eating it is downright apocalyptical.

Beautiful guitar intro (and solo) on 'Too Much Pork....". I've only seen the band's name somewhere. I mean who the heck is that guitar player? I must google this.

2:40 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Rick Miller, from Southern Culture On The Skids. He is a great guitarist.

A band I discovered because the did a Link Wray cover on one of their first releases. I've been hooked ever since.

2:44 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
they did

2:44 PM, June 14th, 2023
Frankie
OK thanks Renny, you are faster than google. I'll have to check on spotify for their stuff. I wouldn't know how to buy a cd these days, except through amazon I guess.

2:47 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
They played Ottawa a couple of times. A couple of times at Zaphod's and at least once at Barrymores.

what was it, the purple tomato?, shake records guys on York and sussex, that was a great combination focus on music and food in the market, oh yeah!

3:05 PM, June 14th, 2023
Renny G (host)
Yes. I believe that was the restaurant that was started by on of the owners of Shake Records.
