A rock show that should prove most pleasing. The RSD on August 29 saw the rerelease of the Cleveland Confidential compilation. We will get to that in a few weeks, but this show starts off with two Cleveland area bands, BPA and Qi-ZZ. Immediately following, two of my favorites, Naked Prey and Nymphs (Inger Lorre). The Flamin’ Groovies do a 1974 track that foreshadows their signature Shake Some Action track, then another personal fave band Leaving Trains, followed by the Sid & Nancy story chronicled by fellow NYC artist Philip Rambow. A Dan Stuart (Green On Red) track that is not on any of his records, a song by the recently departed Walter Lure (Waldos) and three jewels (Tommy Hoehn, Ned Doheny and Mats Wawa) and you have one heck of a show.

I wanted to ask about who passed; you said something about the Heartbreakers, but then I saw it was someone from the Waldo’s. The spinitron chat is closed, hence my posting here :/
Walter Lure – he was the other guitarist. His nickname was Waldo
That Fotomaker track sure is an ear worm! Glad I’ve had the chance to listen to your show again, it’s always great. Hope you remember me, it’s been decades. I run a cat resort in NH, so maybe that rings a bell.
