Topsoil Playlist for July 16, 1995 "Topsoil" - KSCU Santa Clara, California. 103.3 FM Steve Gardner gardner@cadence.com kscu@iuma.com http://mail.iuma.com/kscu/programming/djpromo/gardner/topsoil.html Sunday 3-6pm July 16, 1995 Last weekend I was at the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival. It was life changing for me. I am on a bluegrass high like never before. My wife and I packed my daughter and Chuck Taggart into our cars and headed to Hollister. Chuck and my daughter were very good on the way. My daughter was an angel but Chuck kept asking "When are we going to be there?" over and over. Those Louisiana boys sure are whimps when it comes to road trips....but I digress... The festival went on for three days and there was continuous music the whole time....24 hours a day. We all agreed that this is what heaven is going to be like. The best bluegrass band of the weekend.....the Sunset Boys. Well, now I need to scrounge up a ton of bluegrass albums to recreate this feeling on my show. Wish me luck. This shift feature not one, but two djs. Chef Chuck Taggart from Gumbo fame not only cooked me dinner twice over the weekend but he also joined me for my shift this week. We were quite a sight. We had just gotten back from the festival and hadn't showered or shaved in three days...all this with a weekend of 107 degree temps. It was pretty ugly....and so were we. At the end of my shift I found out that the next dj had quit. This is actually good news. Now, John Patterson (a lurker on this list) will get his first shift ever. He's gonna be doing a country show and I am really looking forward to it. Wow, two shifts that play country on a punk rock station....we're taking over! :) Enough yapping, on to the music.

I guess I should learn my lesson and just go out and buy his other fave, the Chestnut Grove Quartet right away.] BILL MONROE AND THE BLUEGRASS BOYS Molly and Tenbrooks Live at the Opry MCA DREADFUL SNAKES Who's That Knocking At My Door Snakes Alive!
