NSTS Episode 162 - Spoons Bassist Sandy Horne

<p>This week it was my privilege to host Spoons bassist Sandy Horne on the show. I've been a fan since the early 80s, and it was great to chat with Sandy about Spoons stuff old and new, including the band's contribution to COVID-19 front line worker relief effort Back to the Basement, a virtual concert put on by abductedbythe80s.com Saturday June 13 (hence the advance airing of the episode).  </p> <p>In addition to details on her participation in this project, Sandy and I also chat about how Spoons was formed through she and co-founder Gord Deppe being seated beside each other in high school band, the unusual origin of the 'doot-doot-doot' chorus of "Romantic Traffic", and how a 15-year-old Rob Preuss found himself surrounded by naked women backstage at one of the band's early gigs. The way she came up with her NSTS songs is awesome too. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Horne's playlist: </strong></p> <p>Judy Garland - Somewhere Over The Rainbow</p> <p>The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreaming</p> <p>Hair Soundtrack - The Age of Aquarius</p> <p>Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven</p> <p>Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway </p> <p> </p> <p>      </p>
