CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 3/31/08

[RGMike]

new to me: Ernest Tubb's "Commercial Affection" (!) : "it was only commercial affection/but she walked away with my heart". Dedicated to Eliot Spitzer, no doubt.

[RGMike]

another Tom T Hall song that Gaz would probably hate: "I Care" (not to be confused with "I Love").

[RGMike]

wow, even most "classic country" stations don't play Bob Wills. "San Antonio Rose", a beloved western swing chestnut.

[RGMike]

Yee Haw! Thank God John Denver's a Country Boy!

[RGMike]

another original: Pay Price's country hit of "You're the Best Thing that Ever Happened To Me", covered by Gladys & Co.

Followed -- a real "oh wow!" here -- by Michael Murphy's "Carolina In the Pines", his wonderful John Denver-esque follow-up to "Wildfire".

[RGMike]

oops, I made some CGSS posts in the AT40 thread and I'm too lazy to move 'em.  But Greg is promising the 12"" version of Gloria Gaynor's "Honeybee" in the next 20 minutes. Come on and sting me!

[RGMike]

OMFG -- Greg plays the Trammps' fab pre-major-label "Where Do We Go From Here?", Philly Soul at its finest, no surprise that the label, Golden Fleece Records, was a Gamble & Huff side project.

[RGMike]

Greg is just kicking butt today: The Pasadenas' wonderful "Tribute" followed by the Dells, in their faux-town period, with "Wear it On Our Face".

and -- Hoo Lawd! -- Miss Millie Jackson says her man is a sweet, kind, FINE man!

my iTunes link for WLNG randomly popped up, playing a Gene Pitney song called "Teardrop by Teardrop" which I'd never heard before!

'LNG never fail to blow my mind with multiple "I've never heard that"s and "haven't heard that in years"s in every single hour. They are truly amazing.
