Wednesdays are good, long radio days. I very much like Ken's show, Amanda at noon on GDR and efd to close the day.

Agree Stevel. I love the Gap Dream, including their last one. First heard them here thanks to efd.

Surprised it wasn't Thee Open Mind. Can't think of everything. Rocks hard. Never heard it. Can't believe someone's brother didn't make me get high to it. (Had to settle for Hendrix.)

Gap dream definitely discovered via efd for me as well.

Hi efd! Man, just missed one of my all-time fave songs (magic potion) , and a song that likely will end up in my all time fave list in a few years (58th st. fingers).

btw I first heard "magic potion" on Bam Caruso's fab first comp The Psychedlic Snarl (aka rubble v#1) , was so mad when my best friend/fellow record fiend grabbed the ONE copy of that import lp at our 1 cool local record store.

@efd - why are you so stuffy?

@cheri - hello!

@efd - Hot Toddy. Bare minimum hot water, ginger, cayenne, lemon & honey - of course works best with glug of alcohol of choice (bourbon, rum, whiskey, scotch..) but as I recall you prefer not to indulge and the alcohol is not necessary. If no alcohol may want to sub tea or broth for water.

I concur about the hot toddy. Pasted your recipe into my stuff for future go-to mix. I noticed the stuffiness you mentioned in our venerable host tonight as well. Thought it was a levels issue.

Briefly in 1979 Midge Ure may actually have been simultaneously a member of Visage, Ultravox, and Thin Lizzy. This fact may alone justify the existence of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to which of course Ure does not belong.
