Number 39: The Not a Memorial Show

Maybe it would have been nice for host Ric Dube, in this installment of More Lost Time, to pay a tribute to recently departed musical artists Robin Gibb and/or Chris Ethridge. Maybe it would have been nice for him to provide a bit more information about the Australian acts he opted to play instead, Shy Imposters and the Clean. Maybe it would have been nice if he had put more effort into generating an audience for the program instead of creating advertising copy for sponsors, the value of which -- let's face it -- are questionable. But he didn't do any of these things. What you have to ask yourself is whether this really is to the detriment of the show? He'd say no. Where else can you hear Barbara Howard, Brendan Benson, the Redcaps, Peter Case and Greenberry Woods? Nowhere.
