Ah yes Gary, sometimes I pop into RBC Video when Katie's swimming! And yes Hyde, and Gary, we frequent the food spots too! Although haven't been to Mother-in-Laws - need to try that one - thanks for the tip! Sietsema was a catalyst - he wrote about Kashkar Cafe many years ago. We also like the Georgian bakeries and the dark Lithuanian bread that many groceries stock, etc. etc...

Our former-Soviet food conversation may seem a bit off-topic - but I can think of one band you'll hear on Solid Foundation whose band name - or at least, the inspiration for that name - brings the musical and geographic threads together! (And that's our Solid Foundation Jamaican music quiz for today kids...)

Once long ago, I had very long hair, decided to get a short haircut. The barber complained to me about my long hair, "You look like a girl," as he cut. I said "You're getting to cut it off and I pay you, so?!"

Haha, well, I can't think of the band name off the top of my head, Rob, but the last track I'll play today is decidedly on (Soviet) topic!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52am
Rob W:

Yep, Skatalites Gary! But you know maybe that wasn't totally fair because though Sputnik was first, the US was also launching satellites at that time. But according to this at least - old.skabook.com... - those early satellite launches were the inspiration for the name. And yes I second that, if you like today's show you may get a kick out of Mike Sin's Ranking Full Stop on FMU's Rock & Soul stream too dear listeners!
