R.I.P. Shannon Hoon. . . My friend had a party this afternoon, and he always likes to stream in his favorite radio station from the internet and jam it through the speakers. Well anyhoon, his favorite radio station is KBCO from Boulder, CO. At one point my ears sharpen their listening and I can distinctly hear Shannon singing. I look around the room, but I realize that there might not be another melon fan that is really hearing Shannon singing, or recognizing who it is at all. I listened to the tune, and I could quickly hear that it is a kick-ass acoustic version of 'Deserted'. I am positive that I have never heard this version before. KBCO is known for it's 'Studio C' sessions. They have a studio where performers who stop by can jam. Every year KBCO releases a 'Best of Studio C Sessions, Vol. X'. The sessions from Studio C are usually really great versions of songs from each performer. So I soon realized that it was October 21st, and they were playing it as a tribute to Shannon. But after that initial thought, I realized, hey, Blind Melon played Studio C! Which means there is probably a whole set of songs from that session sitting in a radio station vault. Please know that I will be researching this to see if I can find out more about that recording. Boulder is not really close, but it's not too far away from me. So even if I have to go to the studios to find out some info, then I can do that. I bet there are many radio stations across the US, Canada, and Europe that have Blind Melon radio performances and interviews sitting in their vaults.
