RadioCPR2Friday Night Rock coincided with the last moments of Radio CPR — in its current location.

Forced out of the place that has been its studio for many years, the station is still in the middle of finding its next home. Optimistic that will happen, I tried not to dwell on the goodbye forever theme. Instead, a salute to the great drummer Clyde Stubblefield, who died last Saturday at 73. His drum break from “Funky Drummer” may be the most sampled piece of music around. Our examples came from Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and L.L. Cool J.

A bigger chunk of the show was dedicated to the birthday of pianist Nicky Hopkins, who was featured on so many great records, from the Stones to the Kinks to Quicksilver Messenger Service to the Jayhawks. Closed by shaking a handkerchief in a Mardi Gras celebration. Hope to be back on the air soon.
