12/Feb 2013: it's... Mardi Gras!

[RGMike]

Props to Rosalie for (mostly) sticking to Louisiana-based artists. Not sure if the Band qualifies, and I'm pretty sure Little Feat doesn't, but they got the right vibe so slack is granted.

And she surely put this together out of her own head -- doubt if Renee woulda been able to.

This would have been my +1, Macca & Wings backed by the Meters (recorded Mardi Gras 1975) "My Carnival":

At the very least I would think that she had a lot of input, which is more than I expect Renee does. I'm sure DC had to sign off on it, but I think that applies to all sets these days.

Rosalie sez Fats Domino leading BOS voting.

FATS Domino. FAT Tuesday. Gung Hay FAT Choy. Coincidence? I think not.

I still don't know what "hey pocky way" means.  Bur BOS3 the Meters.

Apparently the Dead covered this -- here's hoping I never hear their version

It was a great set.   I'm sure Rosalie picked them all.  She has more knowledge about this stuff than DC or anyone at that station, I would wager. 

I felt so multi-culti listening to KFOG today!  Laissez les bons temps rouler, Bros and Hos!

[Big Fingers McGee]

Can't wait to hear the replay tonight. How was the GS reaction? Were there complaints about the lack of Springsteen?

not much activity, number-wise, on GS, but what there was enthusiastic.  AW was right on it with the list-making efforts.  He knew the songs.

Just got the opportunity to check it... wow, it must've been impressive, given the lack of bitching!

[Here'sToYa!]

Hos!

What's that?

The set may have been multi-culti, but this board has not been multi-gendered for some time.
