Bur good news: Renee leaves on Friday for her "Intrepid Travel" World Class vacay.

Will we get Renee "classics" or new ones from a fill-in host (e.g. Rosalie)?

Fingers crossed for Rosalie.  I think that is the DC model -- fill-ins rather than classics.

Would love it if you were right. RR's sets, for the most part, are painful enough the first time around--I think I'd have to switch to the Sound for a while if we started hearing reruns of them.

Sticking damn close to the charts, iirc. I think the only song we've heard that didn't chart was the Springsteen, and that caught on later.

And things were going so well up to this point.

Geek note: DM only played Freebird twice in the years covered by the Shraytabase, and neither was in a year-based set. One was the A-to-Z Make Good set, and the other was something called "Fogheads at 15" which sounds like a request-generated set. Actually, they both do.

Well, I'm sure there was rejoicing on FB over the Broooce, but this was a "just OK" set in my estimation.  A year with a lot of deep cuts and also some great pop cheeze. And we pretty much got neither, with a couple of exceptions.

I agree.

BOS Led Zep, but not overwhelmingly so.  HM, Freebird (I don't mind the very very very occasional spin of Freebird, because if 10@10 is something of a historical excercise, Freebird deserves the occasional nod - as does Stairway...).

Bruce Springsteen "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City"

Hey, how about that?  One of the Bruce songs I really like.

1973 would have been during the time my father was manager of the Freehold location of a local
drug store chain.  I'll never know, but if Bruce or any of the band member ever shopped there,
then they might have spoken to him and I'd have two degrees of separation.  It's certainly
possible, given they were just starting their rise to stardom at that time.

Fingers crossed for Rosalie.  I think that is the DC model -- fill-ins rather than classics.

If DC is indeed the evil mastermind behind the current 10@10 suckage, why would one expect
better just because Rosalie is host?  I guess the answer hinges on how much control the host is
given, and whether one expects Rosalie to get more input on the content than RR.

Unfortunately, that aspect is what has cured me of wishing the Saturday morning marathon
would return.  Not the cure I was hoping for, though.

[insert generic comment here about a set from an above average year that had the potential
to be pretty good but instead was just average because of too many overplayed "hits"]

Good point; if nothing else Rosalie's voice is more pleasant than RR's.  ;)
