Aaaahh....those Harrys always move me deeply ! Doesn't get much sweeter than Harry Manx and Harry Belafonte. And Dance Me To The End of Love is one of my favourite Cohen songs, Tkes you to the smells and sounds of a cobblestone cafe !

Ya know, speaking of Toms, Dicks, and Harries (pun gotten - "nudge,nudge, wink,wink") remember how you said that we would probably never hear any Kiss on your show? Well, and very seriously, Ace Frehley passed away recently, I was very moved... I still say you can do it, Mike. 👍

Just joining, and TOM RUSH! Used to be really popular in the 60s, sort of forgotten since. Great voice. Many albums.

Rush also had a most excellent moustache.

Mike Regenstreif (host)
I think there are other shows on CKCU more likely to play Kiss, Bobby.

Thanks Benoît. Tom Rush is still out there performing. He had a very good new album in 2024 called Gardens Old, Flowers New.
