	11:07am Gerry from Miami: BOB, that's not Ian Hunter on lead vocal. Do you know who got the assignment?
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami, that's Mick Ralphs!
	🥁 ♥ 11:08am listener 126464: Good morning, Bob, everyone.
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Hey luka!
	11:08am PT: Good Morning BB and everyone! @Gerry from Miami, Mick Ralphs does the vocal honors on Darkness Darkness.
	11:08am Ross T.: And then Spirit...riches....
	♥ 11:08am wmfromD: Mono!
	11:09am Ross T.: I was wondering PT -- didn't sound like Ian Hunter.
	11:09am Bob Brainen: Hey spodiodi! Pete will be here next week.
	11:10am (Mr) Bill: You could have given me 1,000 guesses for the writer of “Darkness, Darkness,” and I would have been wrong 1,000 times.
	11:10am Bob Brainen: There's PT!
	♥ 11:10am Gina Bacon: Yes! Working your way through this album!
	♥ 11:11am spodiodi: sorry Bob, my mistake -- the Apr 23 mention at the top of the playlist page gets me every time
	11:11am Bob Brainen: spodiodi, it is a bit confusing!
	11:12am Gerry from Miami: Thanks, BOB and PT! I suspected it was Ralphs.
	11:13am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob! Good start!
	♥ 11:14am StringOFperils: Oh! Next week!! Reading is fundamental!!! Hah, well, good morning Bob, in any event. :)
	11:16am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene, thanks!
	♥ 11:18am WR: Hello Bob and drummer streamers, listening while busy around the house.
	11:18am Joe W.: Thanks for playing this Bob. The Fifth Dimension early albums are hidden gems IMHO.
	11:18am PT: I think Johnny Rivers covered Carpet Man originally. It's good (as is JR generally) but it's not a patch on the 5th Dimension's celestial harmonies.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Hello to you, WR!
	♥ 11:18am wmfromD: California Soul.
	♥ 11:19am StringOFperils: @Andrew in Toronto > I still intend to get in touch one of these days! I've been busy. Haven't forgotten.
	11:19am Bob Brainen: My pleasure Joe W! I agree, lots of gems.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: PT, don't think I've heard it. Yeah, the 5D record is pretty awesome.
	11:24am dan: Did anyone ever see the Harry Chapin doc on Amazon Prime? I thought it was very good, although I think they dwelled too much on "Cats In The Cradle"
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: Hi Bob and listeners out there. Just got some short ribs into the oven; potato kugel next up...
	11:25am Joe M: Good Morning, all!
	♥ 11:25am doctorjazz: I have to check out the Chapin doc, @dan. In general, I find music documentaries to have too much talk and too little music.
	11:26am PT: And Happy Pesach AND Easter to all those who observe!
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz!
	11:26am dan: @doctorjazz Depends on the doc. Some of them are delights and others are like lectures.
	11:27am Joe W.: If you like The Fifth Dimension albums another wonderful album from that period is Johnny Rivers’ Rewind album. Most songs written by Jimmy Webb with same Fifth Dimension production team. Great vocals. Love that album!
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: Laura Nyro was an answer on Jeopardy this past week. None of the three contestants buzzed in.
	11:28am (Mr) Bill: She wasn’t old enough to vote when she wrote “Billy’s Blues.”
	♥ 11:29am wmfromD: Sounds swell in mono.
	11:30am Gerry from Miami: (Mr) Bill, the voting age was 21 back in those days, not 18 like now.
	11:30am dan: @Gerry I figured no one would get it because Laura Nyro is not as popular as a contemporary like Joni Mitchell or Carole King.
	♥ 11:31am Will the Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:32am (Mr) Bill: @Gerry from Miami. I know about the voting age, and I cop to misleading by omission. However, she may not have been 18 when she _wrote_ “Billy’s Blues.” When I first heard the song as a depressed 16-year-old, sometimes I believed she has written it for me.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Joni (who's music I love), appears headed for Sainthood...
	11:33am (Mr) Bill: Gerry, do you remember the question from “Jeopardy!”?
	11:34am Ross T.: You mean "the answer" from Jeopardy ; )
	11:36am Bob Brainen: Hey, Will the sound Guy!
	11:37am Bob Brainen: Hey great news! (thank you, Lisa!) realgonemusic.com...
	♥ 11:37am wmfromD: I think that lineup of the Roach band is the same one featured in Summer of Soul.
	11:39am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! I'm looking forward to the Procol Harum show next week and what you have planned for this one.
	♥ 11:40am doctorjazz: Another cool album playing the music of Herbie Nichols is Spinning Song, by the guitarist Duck Baker duckbaker.com...
	11:40am Gerry from Miami: @(Mr) Bill. I forget the factoid that they presented about Laura, but I think it involved a song title.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: wmfromD, I have to see that Doc!
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene!
	♥ 11:42am doctorjazz: Summer of Soul was a great doc (one of the first things I did around people, in a movie theater, though I have to say, aside from my family, I think there were 2 or 3 other folks in the theater then).
	♥ 11:42am doctorjazz: Like Trampin'! (not familiar with John Benson Brooks, reminds a bit of Jimmy Giuffre).
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Jeopardy: "A Major talent gone too soon she's best remembered for writing such hits as And When I Die & Stony End." / We just hit the 25th anniversary of her passing...
	11:45am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz, he wrote Where Flamingos Fly among others!
	11:46am Ross T.: "Who IS Laura Nyro?"
	11:47am Joe W.: @doctorjazz Loved Summer of Soul.
	♥ 11:49am doctorjazz: Ah, cool, name vaguely familiar but didn't stick with me. Album available on Discogs (should listen to the show without a laptop handy...) The DAN!!! (great album)
	♥ 11:49am pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone.
	11:50am (Mr) Bill: Those damned smarmy elite Bard students!
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub!
	11:50am dan: Classic multi tracked Donald Fagen goodness.
	♥ 11:51am Andrew in Toronto: @String No problem. I`m looking forward to it.
	♥ 11:51am StringOFperils: Anyone remember when the cult of Sun Myung Moon had moved in on Barrytown?
	♥ 11:51am listener james from westwood: William Gibson, serial Steely Dan reference-dropper in his sci-fi stories, nodded to this song's title by applying it to a locale in NJ in his "Count Zero."
	♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: Steeley Dan seem to elicit strong responses in people, love 'em or hate 'em. (like The Eagles, mabye...?)
	♥ 11:52am Will the Sound Guy: dan time ⏰
	♥ 11:54am doctorjazz: Was listening to last night's fill in for Acid Jazz Hands by Jeff G before Bob came on, highly recommended (jazz players covering show tunes). (for later, of course...) wfmu.org...
	11:54am Eugene Bentley: Gismo My Way is a hidden 19cc gem. Funny happened to mention the song caomparing that to a song you played last week.
	11:55am Eugene Bentley: sorry for my awful spelling 10cc i meant.
	11:59am (Mr) Bill: Bob: Appreciate your digging out the “Jeopardy!” _answer_ (thanks, Ross T.).
	12:00pm googie: Hey, Bob. Did you catch Dent May when he was around a couple of weeks ago? Fun time.
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: google, I did not know he was around. Dang. Did he have a full band?
	12:02pm Gina Bacon: Naima is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, no later who performs it.
	♥ 12:02pm pgalub: I met John Hendricks once and he was incredibly sweet. He told me that he wrote the lyrics to a Monk tune (I can't remember the exact one at the moment, I think it was about Monk's wife) in the Monk family's living room in 20 minutes one afternoon.
	♥ 12:03pm wmfromD: That version of Naima blew me out.
	12:03pm Bob Brainen: Pgalub: The one I know of is "In walked Bud" from Underground.
	12:05pm CalZone!: Enjoying the musixs BB!
	12:05pm googie: Bob: Yeah, he had a full band. Young crowd, but good to feel young again from time to time!
	♥ 12:06pm pgalub: Yeah, love that one!
	♥ 12:09pm StringOFperils: The GIZMO was purely mechanical. It was a bar mounted over the strings that bore 6 constantly rotating wheels that would 'bow' the strings as long as you held it down to maintain contact. It sounds synthetic, mellotron-like, but it's as primitive as can be.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: CalZone!
	12:10pm Gina Bacon: Stuff of nightmares, this movie.
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Thanks stringOFperils. Pretty ingenious. I guess it didn't take off like the Parsons-White stringbender!
	♥ 12:13pm StringOFperils: It was too K-Tel. Too junky. Too clunky to mount and to use. There is a revamped Gizmo out there now though that seems better engineered.
	♥ 12:16pm StringOFperils: Definitely more interest in the stringbender. Legend has it that every hotshot guitar player in LA would show up to watch how Clarence White was doing that.
	♥ 12:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Greetings to you, coelacanth∅!
	♥ 12:28pm wmfromD: Havens would make a great 3 hour spotlight.
	12:33pm Eugene Bentley: I agrre on a Richie Havens 3 hr program.
	♥ 12:36pm Doug Schulkind: Tadley Ewing Peake Dameron!
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: Hey Doug!
	12:37pm adamdoesit: Hey Bob and Saturday all-stars. SOp, lol at “way too K-Tel.”
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: Hiya adamdoesit!
	♥ 12:42pm doctorjazz: Havens has such a soothing voice, would make a nice feature indeed.
	12:52pm Eugene Bentley: OK Revolution #9
	♥ 12:54pm doctorjazz: My Jelly Roll!
	♥ 12:55pm StringOFperils: I love a person who respects the metronome as much as Mr. Morton did.
	♥ 12:56pm doctorjazz: Pretty good sounding recording.
	♥ 12:59pm melinda: hi everyone
	♥ 1:01pm doctorjazz: Beula Land sounds like"Beatles Stereo", vocals on lent with back, drums on right (fife a bit more centered)
	1:07pm Bob Brainen: hi melinda!
	1:25pm Listener Robert: I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to find out the name from the playlist of the "To Tell the Truth" theme!
	♥ 1:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings from Woodside! Hi all
	1:26pm Listener Robert: D'oh!
	1:27pm Bob Brainen: Hi PaulRobeson1920!
	1:28pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert-old world tv.
	1:33pm dan: Did you mean Kingsmen?
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: No dan. 2 separate bands.
	♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Gotta go shop, need some ingredients for my shirt ribs and potato kugel. Thanks, Bob, happy Holidays all (if you're celebrating, great weekend if you're not)!
	🥁 ♥ 1:49pm listener 126464: Have a great afternoon or whatever your time of day is, everyone! Thank you, Bob!
	♥ 1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for the great show!!
	♥ 1:53pm PaulRobeson1920: & the show ain’t over till ya pack it in at night : )
	1:53pm (Mr) Bill: Gems, gems, and more gems. Thank you.
	♥ 1:54pm spodiodi: loved the show. thank you, Bob! 🙏
	1:54pm dan: Can’t wait for Procol Harum next week
	♥ 1:54pm listener james from westwood: Danke, Bob!!
	♥ 1:57pm spodiodi: hadn't heard that Slim Gaillard before. very cool
	♥ 1:58pm wmfromD: Another great one Bob. Thanks!
	1:59pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	♥ 1:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff, Bob! Thank you
	♥ 2:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob!

	11:24am dan: Did anyone ever see the Harry Chapin doc on Amazon Prime? I thought it was very good, although I think they dwelled too much on "Cats In The Cradle"
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: Hi Bob and listeners out there. Just got some short ribs into the oven; potato kugel next up...
	11:25am Joe M: Good Morning, all!
	♥ 11:25am doctorjazz: I have to check out the Chapin doc, @dan. In general, I find music documentaries to have too much talk and too little music.
	11:26am PT: And Happy Pesach AND Easter to all those who observe!
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz!
	11:26am dan: @doctorjazz Depends on the doc. Some of them are delights and others are like lectures.
	11:27am Joe W.: If you like The Fifth Dimension albums another wonderful album from that period is Johnny Rivers’ Rewind album. Most songs written by Jimmy Webb with same Fifth Dimension production team. Great vocals. Love that album!
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: Laura Nyro was an answer on Jeopardy this past week. None of the three contestants buzzed in.
	11:28am (Mr) Bill: She wasn’t old enough to vote when she wrote “Billy’s Blues.”
	♥ 11:29am wmfromD: Sounds swell in mono.
	11:30am Gerry from Miami: (Mr) Bill, the voting age was 21 back in those days, not 18 like now.
	11:30am dan: @Gerry I figured no one would get it because Laura Nyro is not as popular as a contemporary like Joni Mitchell or Carole King.
	♥ 11:31am Will the Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:32am (Mr) Bill: @Gerry from Miami. I know about the voting age, and I cop to misleading by omission. However, she may not have been 18 when she _wrote_ “Billy’s Blues.” When I first heard the song as a depressed 16-year-old, sometimes I believed she has written it for me.
	♥ 11:32am doctorjazz: Joni (who's music I love), appears headed for Sainthood...
	11:33am (Mr) Bill: Gerry, do you remember the question from “Jeopardy!”?
	11:34am Ross T.: You mean "the answer" from Jeopardy ; )
	11:36am Bob Brainen: Hey, Will the sound Guy!
	11:37am Bob Brainen: Hey great news! (thank you, Lisa!) realgonemusic.com...
	♥ 11:37am wmfromD: I think that lineup of the Roach band is the same one featured in Summer of Soul.
	11:39am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! I'm looking forward to the Procol Harum show next week and what you have planned for this one.
	♥ 11:40am doctorjazz: Another cool album playing the music of Herbie Nichols is Spinning Song, by the guitarist Duck Baker duckbaker.com...
	11:40am Gerry from Miami: @(Mr) Bill. I forget the factoid that they presented about Laura, but I think it involved a song title.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: wmfromD, I have to see that Doc!
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene!
	♥ 11:42am doctorjazz: Summer of Soul was a great doc (one of the first things I did around people, in a movie theater, though I have to say, aside from my family, I think there were 2 or 3 other folks in the theater then).
	♥ 11:42am doctorjazz: Like Trampin'! (not familiar with John Benson Brooks, reminds a bit of Jimmy Giuffre).
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Jeopardy: "A Major talent gone too soon she's best remembered for writing such hits as And When I Die & Stony End." / We just hit the 25th anniversary of her passing...
	11:45am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz, he wrote Where Flamingos Fly among others!
	11:46am Ross T.: "Who IS Laura Nyro?"
	11:47am Joe W.: @doctorjazz Loved Summer of Soul.
	♥ 11:49am doctorjazz: Ah, cool, name vaguely familiar but didn't stick with me. Album available on Discogs (should listen to the show without a laptop handy...) The DAN!!! (great album)
	♥ 11:49am pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone.
	11:50am (Mr) Bill: Those damned smarmy elite Bard students!
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub!
	11:50am dan: Classic multi tracked Donald Fagen goodness.
	♥ 11:51am Andrew in Toronto: @String No problem. I`m looking forward to it.
	♥ 11:51am StringOFperils: Anyone remember when the cult of Sun Myung Moon had moved in on Barrytown?
	♥ 11:51am listener james from westwood: William Gibson, serial Steely Dan reference-dropper in his sci-fi stories, nodded to this song's title by applying it to a locale in NJ in his "Count Zero."
	♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: Steeley Dan seem to elicit strong responses in people, love 'em or hate 'em. (like The Eagles, mabye...?)
	♥ 11:52am Will the Sound Guy: dan time ⏰
	♥ 11:54am doctorjazz: Was listening to last night's fill in for Acid Jazz Hands by Jeff G before Bob came on, highly recommended (jazz players covering show tunes). (for later, of course...) wfmu.org...
	11:54am Eugene Bentley: Gismo My Way is a hidden 19cc gem. Funny happened to mention the song caomparing that to a song you played last week.
	11:55am Eugene Bentley: sorry for my awful spelling 10cc i meant.
	11:59am (Mr) Bill: Bob: Appreciate your digging out the “Jeopardy!” _answer_ (thanks, Ross T.).
	12:00pm googie: Hey, Bob. Did you catch Dent May when he was around a couple of weeks ago? Fun time.
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: google, I did not know he was around. Dang. Did he have a full band?
	12:02pm Gina Bacon: Naima is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, no later who performs it.
	♥ 12:02pm pgalub: I met John Hendricks once and he was incredibly sweet. He told me that he wrote the lyrics to a Monk tune (I can't remember the exact one at the moment, I think it was about Monk's wife) in the Monk family's living room in 20 minutes one afternoon.
	♥ 12:03pm wmfromD: That version of Naima blew me out.
	12:03pm Bob Brainen: Pgalub: The one I know of is "In walked Bud" from Underground.
	12:05pm CalZone!: Enjoying the musixs BB!
	12:05pm googie: Bob: Yeah, he had a full band. Young crowd, but good to feel young again from time to time!
	♥ 12:06pm pgalub: Yeah, love that one!
	♥ 12:09pm StringOFperils: The GIZMO was purely mechanical. It was a bar mounted over the strings that bore 6 constantly rotating wheels that would 'bow' the strings as long as you held it down to maintain contact. It sounds synthetic, mellotron-like, but it's as primitive as can be.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: CalZone!
	12:10pm Gina Bacon: Stuff of nightmares, this movie.
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Thanks stringOFperils. Pretty ingenious. I guess it didn't take off like the Parsons-White stringbender!
	♥ 12:13pm StringOFperils: It was too K-Tel. Too junky. Too clunky to mount and to use. There is a revamped Gizmo out there now though that seems better engineered.
	♥ 12:16pm StringOFperils: Definitely more interest in the stringbender. Legend has it that every hotshot guitar player in LA would show up to watch how Clarence White was doing that.
	♥ 12:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Greetings to you, coelacanth∅!
	♥ 12:28pm wmfromD: Havens would make a great 3 hour spotlight.
	12:33pm Eugene Bentley: I agrre on a Richie Havens 3 hr program.
	♥ 12:36pm Doug Schulkind: Tadley Ewing Peake Dameron!
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: Hey Doug!
	12:37pm adamdoesit: Hey Bob and Saturday all-stars. SOp, lol at “way too K-Tel.”
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: Hiya adamdoesit!
	♥ 12:42pm doctorjazz: Havens has such a soothing voice, would make a nice feature indeed.
	12:52pm Eugene Bentley: OK Revolution #9
	♥ 12:54pm doctorjazz: My Jelly Roll!
	♥ 12:55pm StringOFperils: I love a person who respects the metronome as much as Mr. Morton did.
	♥ 12:56pm doctorjazz: Pretty good sounding recording.
	♥ 12:59pm melinda: hi everyone
	♥ 1:01pm doctorjazz: Beula Land sounds like"Beatles Stereo", vocals on lent with back, drums on right (fife a bit more centered)
	1:07pm Bob Brainen: hi melinda!
	1:25pm Listener Robert: I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to find out the name from the playlist of the "To Tell the Truth" theme!
	♥ 1:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings from Woodside! Hi all
	1:26pm Listener Robert: D'oh!

	1:28pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert-old world tv.
	1:33pm dan: Did you mean Kingsmen?
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: No dan. 2 separate bands.
	♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Gotta go shop, need some ingredients for my shirt ribs and potato kugel. Thanks, Bob, happy Holidays all (if you're celebrating, great weekend if you're not)!
	🥁 ♥ 1:49pm listener 126464: Have a great afternoon or whatever your time of day is, everyone! Thank you, Bob!
