  3:46pm

I prefer the Royal Purple's amazing version of 'I can't xplain this feeling'! Thanx for playing the original! Great show so far!!
  4:28pm
Jumpy:

HANG IT OUT TO DRY started out as ts own seperate life as an LP.
  4:30pm
frenchee:

I also prefer the Royal Purple version anonymous poster!
  4:31pm
frenchee:

Hey Jumpy!
  4:34pm
Topkat:

this is a heads up if ya don't already know, the Stems have called it quits and are in the midst of an Aussie farewell tour.
  4:37pm
Jumpy:

Howdy, frenchee!
Mike, I have "Green Light" by American Breed. I think they done did it first.

It's true about the Stems but Dom and all of the them have their own bands.

Nick Lowe's Labour of Lust is a great album. It needs to re-released on CD.

Why the guilt over playing "Inside Looking Out"? Somehow, this is the first time I've ever heard that track played on ANY radio, let alone "classic rock" radio.
  5:40pm
Tom:

Dig the Troggs!
  5:42pm
Lud:

This shit reminds me of a current movie interpretation the "60s"--believe me no 60s radio played this bubble gum crap. There was a reason these lost treasures were buried..and forgotten.

frenchee:

Hey LUD, Peace man!
