Reaction to this aircheck from long-time RRS patron Mark Ogden...

"I've very much enjoyed the Shadoe Stevens aircheck, and am always ready for a tasty fresh helping of the Drake format!  A couple of times he breaks format slightly (i.e. pre-announcing a ‘Double Goldens’ set when intro’ing the first of the pair of songs, and I don’t think he says the time during the bottom on the hour ID), but nitpicking is part of the pleasure of listening for me!

The Mystery Voice sounds like Lou Rawls —  in fact the spoken passage is similar to some of the lyrics of his great song Dead End Street.

The Boston club spots are fun, and seemed to be a frequent characteristic at WRKO.  It’s been ages since I’ve heard mention of the Toronto blue-eyed soul singer George Oliver who girls, especially, used to rave about when I was in high school in Oakville. I’ve put the catchy local top-10 hit “Opportunity”, he had while fronting Mandala, on my “to download” list, and will see if I can find it. It looks like Oliver has still been active in recent years on the Toronto retro soul scene."

Thanks Mark!
