Just give me any excuse to play Ronnie Lane with or without his fellow Faces, may they be Small or drunk, and I will get right to it. I received great news of the impending arrival of the new Ronnie Lane DVD "The Passing Show - The Life and Music Of Ronnie Lane" at the RFW studios! Unable to wait another minute for a Lane fix, we roll out today's offering.

We hear a few from Ronnie's Slim Chance band, 1 from his collaboration with Pete Townshend, 2 from the Small Faces and 1 from each of the 4 Faces studio releases. We then continue in a Lane inspired set from the old Small Faces front man Steve Marriott and his Humble Pie, Mr. Muddy Waters and The Rolling Stones featuring Ron Wood. I could of went on for days!

Let's have one for Ronnie - Cheers!

A NOTE FROM THE RFW SOUND BOARD

We suffered a bad phono-cartridge that effected a few songs on T5206 and T5306. Both shows have been re-recorded and re-posted. If you are a RFW purist, delete your old files and download the new and improved versions.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Today we exercise our musical muscle with a mixed up set set that had a mind and direction of it's own! Cornelius and Funkadelic serve as unique bookends for a taste of vintage psych courtesy of The Move and The Nazz. Eric Clapton joins Jeff Beck on stage for a couple of numbers while Johnny Winter, Little Feat and Ronald Shannon Jackson check out Van "The Man" Morrison stuck in a blues fishbowl .

Our musical adventure starts with an astounding journey through Upper and Lower Egypt with Pharaoh Sanders. We then enter a strange land where the Blues and Jazz collide with DJs, turntables and synths guided by Vernon Reid, Air and Medeski Martin & Wood. Hawkwind launches us into the far reaches of space and Jerry Garcia, The Hollies, Python Lee Jackson and Bobby Dylan bring us back home safe and sound. A really diverse travelogue to our audio trip.
