Courtney Barnett! That was the name I was trying to remember in the comment thread on someone's program here a day or 2 ago that I said the song sounded like. But don't ask me now to remember whose song that was.

The problem with Donald Trump is he’s melting down way to soon. He needs to stretch this out to the actual election to be fully effective in derailing the Republicans.

Have to wonder whether ELO had the same producer as the Bee Gees. Vocals are similar, IMO...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
rrg:

As soon as you hear that first trumpet note, you know it's Bert Kaempfert.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
Irwin:

ELO was produced by group leader Jeff Lynne.
  3:58pm
Listening Out There:

Thx, Generous Host. Reminds me that the Bee Gees were more of a disease than a musical ensemble.

Herbie Nichols' original tapes were probably not great to begin with. I think he worked mainly as a lounge pianist...

The Nichols set was issued in 1997. It's full of tape flaws that could have easily been fixed -- even then.

RE Blue Note: That time period was pre-Norah Jones. The label was cash poor for a loooong time 'til they signed her...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:06pm
Irwin:

This is one of the most depressing Joe Frank episodes -- but Another Country., Pt. 1, planned for future broadcast, is even more depressing. Joe isn't all absurdity and philosophical frivolity.

just got into a discussion with a coworker who knows someone in the partch ensemble. He said he thinks the MSU eviction had something to do with the University wanting to claim ownership of the instruments. I just sent him a link to your Charles Corey interview...here for anyone interested: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:41pm
Irwin:

That's true -- the U wanted to own, not simply provide housing for, the instrumentarium. But Danlee Mitchell, the lawful heir of Partch's collection, refused to relinquish ownership.
