Title: 21 Dec 2010: it's... Winter
Post by: RGMike on December 20, 2010, 01:52:30 PM: Looks like we are getting a First-Day-of-Winter set after all, AND the KFOG Xmas Card is Thursday (repeated Friday?).

I didn't ask for Love Unltd's "It May Be Winter Outside..." figuring it'd never get played, but I'll post it on FB tomorrow.

ETA: a few folks want "Ice Ice Baby" ::)

Yes, I asked for it, with tongue firmly in cheek, but note mine was the Justin Timberlake version, the "cooler" Ice, Baby.

Post by: mshray on December 21, 2010, 10:12:54 AM: BOS #2 for Guitar Steve Miller playing a mellow harmonica. One of my favorites from his catalogue.
Title: Re: 21 Dec 2010: it's... Winter
Post by: RGMike on December 21, 2010, 10:13:20 AM: BOS2 Steve Miller, first of (presumably) several from the list I sent AL.

the list I sent AL:

Sometimes in Winter (BS&T)
Winterwood (Don McLean)
Winter Wonderland
Marshmallow World
Hazy Shade of Winter
Winter Time (Steve Miller)
Winter (Stones)
If We make it Thru December
Wintertime Love (Doors)

and I left out the Love Unltd, Donna Summer's "Winter Melody" and Jesse Winchester's "Snow", which is probably out-of-print. We heard a bunch of these in Ginger's fondly-remembered Winter set from some years back.

BOS5 from me -- I feel like this is my own personal 10@10. I wore out my cassette of this album in '69. One of the rare BST tunes without Clayton-Thomas on lead

Haven't checked yet, but the solo sounded very much like Mick Taylor

Very nice. BOS, uh, 3 or so. Was working and not really paying attention to what I was hearing, so the Tull just slipped on by, but that would have got one, and of course Frank.

BTW, the Zappa Plays Zappa show I went to Dec. 1 was awesome. They played Apostrophe in it's entirety, with Frank video'd in, playing guitar (awesome), and singing. Pretty cool effect.

Post by: RGMike on December 21, 2010, 02:29:41 PM: 12/21/10- Tuesday!! 10@10 Welcomes Winter !!!

1. Jethro Tull- Ring Out, Solstice Bells
2. Dream Academy- Life In A Northern Town
3. Steve Miller Band- Winter Time
4. Mamas & Papas- California Dreamin'
5. Rolling Stones- Winter
6. Joni Mitchell- River
7. Blood Sweat & Tears- Sometimes In Winter (BOS-Tie!)
8. Matt Costa- Cold December
9. Frank Zappa- Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (BOS-Tie!)
10. Bangles- A Hazy Shade Of Winter

Kinda surprised we didn't get an "extra" or 2 today; the Zappa track was barely half the song. Still, one of the more inspired theme sets we've had in the AL era.

Here's my personal long-out-of-print extra: Jesse Winchester, "Snow"

Post by: urth on December 21, 2010, 10:37:20 PM: Listening to the replay, as I missed the airing this morning. No question this has been a superb set. Seven songs in, I score it 4 BOSes and 2 VHMs. The jury's still out on the BS&T song, which I don't think I've ever heard before, so it potentially gets a BOSFRA.

Anyone else detect the warmth of vinyl on the Stones tune, or just a lousy mastering job?

This show is reminding me of a show Vin Scelsa did a number of years ago on the first day of winter, with a similar vibe. I think the Stones and Joni songs were part of that show, too.

The Matt Costa song gets a "meh" from me. It's got the proper lyrical sentiment, but just not digging it so much.

Wow, you guys weren't kidding. That segue from Don't Eat Yellow Snow to Hazy Shade of Winter was brutal. Not even being awarded co-BOS in the popular voting could make up for that.

I searched for the Winter set that Ginger did some years back -- but to no avail. Can't recall what year it was but at least half of AL's set was heard in Ginger's. I miss her version of 10@10.

urth, what's that song about walking around in the snow -- very Kinks-ish but not by them? I recall Scelsa playing it a year or 2 ago.

I kind of remember what you're talking about, can't recall exactly what band or song you mean. I need a little more of a hint to jog my admittedly spotty memory.
