!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I was driving home from the market listening to a local eclectic music station near me, KDHX, and this tune was on. A little simple tune, but in the fusion style from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s that I love. I wish my old friend Steve was still alive - as a fusion expert he probably had all of their recordings in his collection.

The music on this particular program was a lot like the kind of programming done by the fictitious Venus Flytrap on WKRP in Cincinnati on his show. I’ve been looking for something like this for 30+ years and I think I finally found it. Like the all Brazilian program on Mondays, I keep finding all sorts of good eclectic programming on this station. It reminds me a lot of the days when I used to bum around the radio station at the local community college back when I was in high school. Hanging out with the DJs, pulling various records and experimenting with new and different genres with which I was unfamiliar. A good foundation to build a love of music, something that continues to this day, 35+ years on.

Very cool stuff! Your mention of Venus Flytrap had me thinking that he also would play stuff like this:

Jaco. Love that dude. His music was what convinced me to take up the bass.

You ever see the Joni Mitchell concert with Jaco and Pat Metheny? Pure awesomeness. I can watch/listen to that over and over.
