Listening from the Lower Town Lounge and digging it (as always) Ian. Thanks man. I'll be damned if I don't have a can of beer in my hand and a view of Vanier. Can life get any better? With Ian Jeans is on the radio, I think not.

Rideau Street Renny
Digging those tunes like the should be dug. Dig?

Rideau Street Renny
Thanks Dave, I've only witnessed one small altercation over $25 and a guy piss himself in the doorway, while waiting for his bus. But it is a senior's building after all.

1:53 PM, December 13th, 2023
Ian Jeans (host)
Thanks, Dave. Nice to have the Downtown cats check in.

You are The Vinyl King of the 7 inch, Renny. Every show just gets better and better, man! You "rock the turntables"

1:59 PM, December 13th, 2023
Dave Aardvark (host)
you'll no doubt have many future altercations to witness/look forward to haha! Never a dull moment 'round these parts...

Great choice with 'Big White Cloud'. A real wall of sound approach there, I always think I hear a pedal steel in the mix. 'Time to kill on a hill' , everyone's been there before.

2:04 PM, December 13th, 2023
Neil
Haha Ian..Just scrolled to the top and saw you are hosting. Great show man.

2:05 PM, December 13th, 2023
Ian Jeans (host)
Hi Frankie! What a song by Cale. Some 60's production carrying over to the early 70's

2:06 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
Just as long as I'm not involved in the altercation and I ain't the guy pissing himself. I'll be happy to live here.

2:06 PM, December 13th, 2023
Ian Jeans (host)
Hi Neil! Thanks for tuning in.

2:06 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
Oh yeah, Neil. Ian puts me to shame. He's so effin' good it's crazy. You're a better deejay than I Gunga Ian.

Dave Aardvark (host)
🤣 🤣 Renny (only on special occasions) :p

Rideau Street Renny
Hey man, I've tried to convince him to alternate with me on the Riot. Ian is a one man radio resource. But you know those artistic types. Busy as bees.

2:12 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
In demand and on demand.

Good thing Jerry Lawlor never guit his day job! Of course he was the wrestler who piledrove Andy Kaufman into wearing a neckbrace.

2:14 PM, December 13th, 2023
Ian Jeans (host)
Yes, the golden throat of Jerry Lawler.

2:16 PM, December 13th, 2023
Frankie
Should be 'quit'

2:18 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
Hey man, is that the same wrestler (Jerry Lawler) who desegregated the wrestling events in Memphis, Ian?

2:20 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
I think it was in Robert Gordon's "It Came From Memphis" book.

2:21 PM, December 13th, 2023
Ian Jeans (host)
That's him. Great book. Lawler did some good stuff, but some bad stuff too.

2:23 PM, December 13th, 2023
Rideau Street Renny
Such a good show, Ian, from start to finish. You nailed it again. Thanks for doing this weeks show. You've gone above and beyond, once again.
