Dave's been playing a lot of B-Day requests of late -- gives me hope for what I'm gonna lay on him for mine.
I've been thinking similar thoughts. Somebody else grabbed my "garage-band" idea a few months back, but I've got another one percolatiing.
I'll tell mine if you spill yours....
I'm planning to ask for a 1969 Soul Patrol (some guy stole my '73 SS idea recently) with one caveat -- it MUST include Barbara Acklin's "Love makes A Woman", a great record and legit top 20 hit. Dave (or the Fogheads) can pick the other 9 songs. It's my 50th, fercryinoutloud! If he refuses I'll be quite bummed.
My plan is a Power Pop set, stuff like the Flamin Groovies, Cheap Trick, Raspberries, Big Star, Bad Finger, Todd Rundgren etc. I'm thinking I should pitch it as a 1970-79 Vertical Tasting, but the late 70s might be a bit slim pickings. And there's a couple of later artists I want to include, like Matthew Sweet (haven't picked which one yet) so I'll have to give the whole concept some more consideration. But I've got nearly 6 months, so I've got time.
Of course, if they decide to make a big deal over KFOG's anniversary, I'm screwed. 'Cuz their birthday is my birthday.
