hi Evan; Funklettes
...so, by the look of the playlist so far, does this mean you're only going to play the really good and excellent J Giels Band?
(before they tarnished their reputation with "love stinks" etc.)

right? weird but true.

So, the one time I saw the JGB live was in Clay Pigeon's neck of the woods. It was at the fairgrounds in Des Moines, IA in 1975. They were second on the bill, after Pure Prairie League and before Foghat and Santana. When Wolf started doing mic stand pole vaults, I was all in.

Until this week, Rage in the Cage was the most played J Geils Band song on WFMU (covering only from 2001 when the playlist system came in). Guessing that won't be the case for long.

I hope that efd might have a tribute to the now late mother of Dave Letterman tonight. Maybe a song about pies?

Growing up in NewHampshuh here, in the cultural media reach of Bawstin - J. Geils were definitely a thing. Deffo one of those bands that informed us of the R&B originals they covered - back before interwebz & everything being available all the time...& of course legendary for bringing it Live...Peter Wolf was a legendary Bawstin DJ going back even earlier, wasn't he??
