Stonehenge Setlist 9/23/2016
This weeks Classic Rock album was the first lp by the British Group Faces. In North America the LP was credited to the Small Faces. The album was released only a few months after the Faces had formed from the ashes of the Small Faces (from which Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan hailed) and The Jeff Beck Group (from which Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood hailed.) But the big news of the night was the return of my Co-host Jen. So happy to have her back from her travels to the UK - that we let The Kinks welcome her home.

But with that being said we attempted to bring you some classic tunes to get your weekend started off on the right foot. By the way my beautiful co-host was visiting the real Stonehenge - checking with the powers that be and making sure our fall musical lineup meets their approval. Here she is!
