Notes:

A few complaints from the listeners but I don't see anything that much different than what Clyde would play.  A bit too much on the Todd Rundgren stuff, but they pick ELP's Bitches Crystal and failed single Peter Gunn.   Props for There's No Way Out Of Here by David Gilmour and Avalon by Roxy Music.  Chris Rea's Road To Hell is a Beaker Street staple.

A trip to Independence/Waterloo I found a couple interesting cds, namely Trini Lopez's Latin Album, he passed away earlier in the week due to CORVID 19. And the expanded In Da Gadda De Vadda By Iron Butterfly (only 2 dollars) and regional artists such as Molly Nova/Turk E Krause 2001 album, after which they released after leaving the Blue Band.

Somebody donated a bunch of scratched up 45s, none that I could salvage. Oh Baby Doll from Chuck Berry and It Was I from Skip And Flip the highlights but a few others, but they were in poor shape. Lucky Lips (Ruth Brown) and Clyde McPlatter's Rock And Cry had a crack in it.  Another Chuck Berry 45 School Days, was scratched beyond belief. The Quin Tones' Down The Aisle To Love and Charlie Rich's Lonely Weekends were other notables.

Waterloo has their own Rudy's Tacos, more expensive than Davenport but the portions they serve are much better.  They had on the oldies channel which was fine, till they played six Beach Boys songs in a row.  On a plus, Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston and The Rivingtons' Papa Om Mow Mow were played.  When I got up there, Metro Records was closed and no more is the St Vinnie's on Franklin.  Overall a productive batch of finds.


After six years being idle, The R Smith Show returns to Radio Maierburg on Sunday Night on a trail basis.  from 11 to 1.  I play selected cuts from selected albums.  Two hours doesn't cover much but at least we try not to play the same old shit like I Fart Radio or Timesquare Media or Cumulus.
