(News: R.I.P Jim Morrison)
 4. Humble Pie - Big George (R.I.P. Bobby Keys)
 5. Barbra Streisand - Space Captain (R.I.P. Bobby Keys)
 6. Marsha Hunt - Wild Thing (R.I.P. Ian McLagan)
 7. The Rolling Stones - I Got The Blues (R.I.P. Bobby Keys)
(News: R.I.P. Louis Armstrong)
 8. B.B. King - Caldonia (R.I.P. Bobby Keys)

This set is dedicated to Lightin' Rod and dischead (for the heavily rocking aspect of this set) and urth (who has a sweet spot for early '70s set, especially 1971).

I would love to hear Bad 'N' Ruin over the air. AL has played Stay with Me the morning after I've requested Bad 'N' Ruin, and that's as close as it has gotten to airplay.

Anyone miss this?  Let me know!

Doing a short shift at my day job for vacation coverage, so taking this opportunity to catch up here. And let me say you haven't lost your touch. First off, I never knew Salt N Pepa's "Whatta Man" was a cover. No idea whatsoever. Really nice mix of R&B and pop tunes here. Loved the Humphrey and LBJ clip - Johnson could not sound less sincere. And Cowboys To Girls is a longtime fave, always good to hear.  So in short, yes, I am glad to see you creating new sets - definitely keep posting, but only 2 or 3 new ones per week please; that's about as much as I can keep up with.

10. The Cure - Jumping Someone Else's Train

wow, a Cure tune we appear to have never heard on 10@10 -- you'd think, given how Cure-happy AL/RR (and KFOG generally) have been since 2009 that it woulda popped up at least once.
