another 1970 set that begins with Chicago: "Make Me Smile". And indeed it does!
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

actually, that was a rather odd edit I can't remember ever hearing before (the "long version" woulda been the enitire "Ballet for a Girl from Buchanan" which is, what? 18  minutes?).

Ah, here's "War" one more once.

Just saw part of a docu on the Dead and some other bands (including the Band) traveling through Canada.  Filmed in imitation of Woodstock, that split-screen style that I dig.  What did I watch?

"Festival Express"... some great footage, especially of Janis -- and did you catch Morey faves Mashmakan doing some kinda jazz-rock thang? I'd've never guessed it was them in a gazillion years.

I didn't realize "Make Me Smile" came from such a long track!  (To me, Chicago is a singles band; I'd only ever own greatest-hits comps from them.)  And I guess I'll give BOS to "War" just to express my frustration that no mainstream artists with hit potential today are speaking out against the war.  Fucking COWARDS.

Today's set sounds exactly like the Pittsburgh classic-rock station, except for the Todd and Edwin.  Yet another sausage party.  Not that I'm complaining.

Sorry to have missed it. Ready for kBco.

I have Festival Express. Maybe we can play at the next get together.

This is great -- a KSOL Top 20 music survey from Sept 1970. How many of these do you remember:

Now that you remind me, yes I did!  I was trying to figure out who they were and failed horribly, can't even remember who I was guessing, maybe Spooky Tooth or something silly like that.

But I still like saying it: "Mashmakan."

Not too impressed with the Janis -- I'm of the mind that she worked her shtick too hard for its own good.
