Wow - a request for the Grapes of Wrath!!!

The same listener also suggested an all-Canadian show. I'll probably put that together some time in May.

The next two weeks, Joe Fitch will be my guest host. He delivers a good rockin' show, usually with a bit more of a blues feel than my approach.

Funny… that was the SAME thing I thought when I saw this set list. Grapes of wrath request?!

(Hits close to home as no one’s been buying the $2 copies of my grapes of wrath records….where is the love)

Seems like more requests than usual. Do people call or E-mail them in?

I get a lot of requests via email and text, duringthe week leading up to the show. A few phone calls during the show, too.

When the guitar starts on that Montrose track I thought sounds like Stiff Little Fingers. Only briefly mind you.
