CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/17/08

I'm switching to classic country mode via WSMonline.com -- and I'm hearing a country version of Wilson Pickett's "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You" (!) by O.B.McClinton, one of the few black singers to make the country charts besides Charley Pride. What a lost gem!

[RGMike]

And now Lynn Anderson begs my pardon!

[RGMike]

WLNG Nugget o'the Day: Gary Puckett/Union Gap "Don't Give in to Him", which I haven't heard in a gazillion years.

[RGMike]

OMG! the Harper's Bizarre version of S&G's "59th St Bridge Song" -- amazingly similar to the orig but still "groovy".

[RGMike]

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air after hearing Joey Scarbury's "Greatest American Hero" theme.

[RGMike]

I just noticed the similarity beyween the into to "Witchi -Ti -To"  and the intro to "Sweet jane". Coulda knocked me over with a feather...

Crap, Sweeney's taken a sickie--we've got Paul Coyne sitting in his stead.

Bloody fooking 'ell!

I'm WSM-ing until CGSS time at 1 (those wacky Brits are still on Standard Time).

[RGMike]

on WSM : one of the best country songs of the early-'90s "New Trad" boom, Doug Stone's "I'd Be Better Off in a Pine Box". Hard to believe George Jones turned this one down.

Cutbacks!  CGSS plays the orig version of "Money$ Too Tight to Mention" by the Valentino Bros.  Simply Red's version is good (specially the shout-out to Nancy Reagan), but this is fabulous.

More like we wacky Yanks can't wait to get back to Daylight Saving time.

and it used to be the opposite -- they'd switch a week before us (last weekend of March, as opposed to our first weekend of April).  There's nothing like London in June, when it's still light at 10pm.
