	11:16am Gerry from Miami: "Losr Weekend" was such a powerful film. Ray Milland portrayed the horror of alcoholism to a T.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Morning Doctor Jazz, I do too! But I'm satisfied w/ reissue vinyl, CD and mp3!

	♥ 11:24am WR: Rozsa also used Theremin on Spellbound soundtrack, haven't found yet who performed on either.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz, dig! 10" Jazz records make me feel that way.
	11:28am 1whoknewcthulhu: Great thing about this stream is being able to hear an extended play like the Rosza.
	11:28am SmokinJ: Cheers bb & friends everywhere! 8-)
	11:29am Bob Brainen: WR, yes and that may have been the first. IIRC, Rosza did Hitch's music but they had a falling out when Rosza composed for other films (?) Dr. Samuel Hoffman is the player in both films.

	11:30am Bob Brainen: Hey SmokinJ!
	11:31am (Mr) Bill: Another Saturday morning-afternoon and I still got Bob Brainen!
	11:31am Bob Brainen: Hey (Mr) Bill!
	♥ 11:35am WR: I was guessing that Dr. Hoffman did the Theremin on those, but not sure.
	11:37am Jeff: Bob, the “drunk” comedian was something Foster, I think?

	11:40am Jeff: Yes!
	♥ 11:40am wmfromD: Foster Brooks it is Bob.
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: that Monk record reminds me and maybe you know,Bob...i'm looking to sell a one-sided Monk trio record -i have no clue what the starting pointing should be, price-wise. (in my avatar now) any ideas? it's side 2 of this: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:41am wmfromD: Whenever I hear this tune I think of Leonard Lopate. For better or worse.
	♥ 11:47am doctorjazz: Duck Baker did an album of Nichols' music, called Spinning Song (he also did one of Monk's music). Not common solo guitar music, both really good!
	♥ 11:48am coelacanth∅: i hope i don't miss hearing the pronunciation of Shelagh
	11:48am Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅, I wish I could help, but I don't know prices. But...that looks rare as hell!
	11:50am Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅, same as our "Sheila."
	♥ 11:50am coelacanth∅: i think it might be. i'm not finding it on discogs -or anything much like it by another artist either. it's a bit crackly unfortunately.
	♥ 11:50am doctorjazz: I don't see anything on the label, Coela...
	♥ 11:53am adamdoesit: Last four bars of the chorus on "Cowboy Swing" remind me of an intro I've heard to "Tiger Rag."
	♥ 11:54am coelacanth∅: Sheila! Thanks. makes sense, now that you told me! right,doc. i searched for quite some time, a few months ago. nothing.
	♥ 11:57am WR: Roland Kirk going to church and back. Was this a Mingus composition?
	♥ 11:59am WR: This Kirk / Golson album sounds great, never knew of it before. Gonna have to find it in some form.
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Coel, it's got that same Gil Melle artwork?
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: WR, yes, he did it w/ Mingus in 61 and on his own in '63. I played the Mingus a few weeks back
	♥ 12:03pm wmfromD: @Coel, maybe a test pressing?
	♥ 12:04pm doctorjazz: Missed the Kirk (damn), don't know that one either...
	♥ 12:05pm WR: Seems the Golson session has only been reissued on CD in Japan or available as part of Kirk complete Mercury sessions. Yikes, calling doctorjazz.
	♥ 12:06pm coelacanth∅: Bob, no artwork. i got it in a plain sleeve, in the 80s. wmfD maybe? it's only 1/2 the album though. i'm not home so can't look at it now but i don't think it's an acetate either, but it's heavy and thick. i think it's a columbia records pressing of some sort.
	♥ 12:07pm coelacanth∅: (if i remember correctly)
	♥ 12:08pm coelacanth∅: doc that was a FINE Kirk track.
	♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: I have to check the tracks on the Mercury Kirk (the mission, if I choose to accept it...)
	♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: *check the racks, meant to say...
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: But Benny Golson IS a saxophone player (got to see him live, never saw Kirk, alas...)
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Don't think Golson plays on the album. Luckily got to see Rahsaan, near the end...
	♥ 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob. I love Norma Tanega more than you know.
	♥ 12:20pm coelacanth∅: walkin' with a cat named Franco
	♥ 12:20pm StringOFperils: I admire your focus, Franco; that burrito looks irresistible to me
	♥ 12:22pm Franco Twinkie: It's two crab enchiladas, SoP. My true love.
	♥ 12:22pm WR: I looked at Franco's icon pics this morning and man, so much great food. And interesting books too.
	♥ 12:23pm WR: And what kind of enchiladas in the Cooder book pic?
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Hi Franco Twinkie! Glad to hear it, you'd love this 2 cd or 2 lp set!
	♥ 12:24pm StringOFperils: I suspected I might be wrong on the dish...looks delicious.
	♥ 12:26pm Franco Twinkie: WR, You're a reader - I know that. But I'm not a literary snob. At at this time in my life when so much else is falling by the wayside, I still have books - plenty of books.
	♥ 12:27pm WR: I got this Tanega CD comp, but have to say I wish it was at least a 3 CD set and included all the tracks from the two released albums.
	♥ 12:28pm WR: So many books; so many windows into people, time and places; and time is getting short...
	♥ 12:31pm StringOFperils: Thank goodness for WFMU. I would never get to hear all of these great things without it. Speaking of last refuges.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: WR, completely agree. I get the idea it was really made for 2 LPs and the 2 cd was kind of an afterthought. I wish it had more tracks, but I'm sure glad it exists, even if it's on the skimpy side.
	♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: WR, The enchiladas in the Cooder picture are two shrimp with a chicken mole tucked in the middle. This restaurant is within walking distance from my house, right across the street from the San Gabriel Mission, where I was baptized so many years ago.
	♥ 12:39pm WR: Yum, Franco. Seafood enchiladas are not common in typical NYC 'hood places. Maybe can be found in the flashy yuppie places which I generally avoid for reasons of both price and flavor.
	12:39pm chresti -sf: I love this!
	12:40pm chresti -sf: @matusa
	♥ 12:40pm StringOFperils: No chimichangas on Mizar 5.
	12:40pm chresti -sf: *mutasa
	♥ 12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Chresti!
	♥ 12:42pm WR: "Tendai Mavengeni (Zimbabwe) is an mbira player and vocalist. At 19 years old, she's the youngest Zimbabwean mbira recording artist, and already has two albums to her name. " Still looking for the albums...
	♥ 12:44pm WR: Where I got that quote: makingtracksmusic.org...
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: I found this thanks to Jim Pugliese, a great mbira (& more!) player himself: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: WR, about a week before I met Chresti in 1982, I started having a short lived affair with a girl who lived in San Francisco. One afternoon she took me to lunch at a Mexican restaurant on 24th Street in The Mission. She introduced me to crab enchiladas. My life was turned upside down.
	♥ 12:53pm WR: My kids tell me to stop buying music, listen to it from youtube or whatever. They even told me not to send them CDs or DVDs, but to please just provide a link. but I have experienced that the internet giveth and the internet taketh away when you least expect it. On the other hand, they don't have storage space issues.
	♥ 1:20pm adamdoesit: Franco, I guess chresti turned it right side up again? WR, maybe your kids have a point. No one really owns music (other than, one hopes, the musicians who make it). Yet somehow I keep trying. Chasing the dragon, I suppose.
	♥ 1:25pm Franco Twinkie: Day of the Triffids is such a peculiar movie. The basic concept was walking plants that looked like large stalks of marijuana terrorized people who live in a light house. First, they try to scare them away with music from the speaker on the top of an ice cream truck, and when that failed some genius figured out if you squirt them with sea water they'd fall over and die. I would watch this on TV when I was kid, perplexed and excited at the same time.
	♥ 1:32pm doctorjazz: My girls don't do "solid media", it's mostly Spotify, sometimes YouTube. Me, I love my LPs and CDs (LPs most, though they've gotten much more expensive since they became hip). Love the sound of them, the art work, the liner notes... Had a TIDAL subscription, hardly used it, dropped it. Have the free Spotify, hardly use it either.
	♥ 1:33pm WR: The movie title "Day of the Triffids" always stuck with me but don't remember if I ever saw it. Even with your summary Franco. Will have to take a look. Now we are hearing the University of Professor Jelly Roll Morton.
	♥ 1:38pm doctorjazz: Bar walking territory!
	♥ 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, we're old guys. With obsessions that refuse to die I'm afraid. Kids will always be kids. Some day these kids will be old people too, God willing. I suspect they'll feel marginalized by what ever junk dominates the cultural landscape at that moment, as we are now.
	♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Franco, sure thing. My 23 year old already thinks of her 28 year old sister as an "oldie".
	♥ 1:44pm WR: Yes, that Cecil Payne is a Block Buster for sure.
	♥ 1:46pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti is in an Francisco right now. Last night she was describing her day to me. She said the street is overrun by tech bros. marching around like they own the place, and I suppose they do. At one time that was us. But of course they're idea of pop culture is probably total crap. They know about computers, but are woefully deficient in what makes good music. I say this with complete conviction.
	♥ 1:49pm StringOFperils: Don't sweat the automatons. Be glad you don't have to share the narrow, super-heated, foodless, plastic tunnel with them for another 60 years.
	♥ 1:50pm Franco Twinkie: Word.
	♥ 1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
	♥ 1:53pm WR: Great episode Bob, and great reading thoughts and comments of WFMU streamers and dreamers. Onward, going to step away from the screen to make some lunch. I'll be listening...
	♥ 1:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bob. I'm going out onto the front porch to bang two rocks together, to summons thunder and lightning.
	♥ 1:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, enjoyed the show!
	♥ 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Burt Bacharach is ninety-freaking-four (and going strong).
	♥ 1:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks man. If I'm gonna whistle past the boneyard, I might as well have respectable repertoire. Have a good one, everybody!
	♥ 1:57pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the sounds, Bob.
	1:57pm Jeff: Burt Bacharach is 94! Thanks for another great three hours Bob!
	♥ 1:58pm coelacanth∅: give kids nowadays 2 rocks and they don't know what to do with them.
	1:58pm (Mr) Bill: Time flies between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Thanks, Bob.
	♥ 1:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob!

	12:02pm Bob Brainen: WR, yes, he did it w/ Mingus in 61 and on his own in '63. I played the Mingus a few weeks back
	♥ 12:03pm wmfromD: @Coel, maybe a test pressing?
	♥ 12:04pm doctorjazz: Missed the Kirk (damn), don't know that one either...
	♥ 12:05pm WR: Seems the Golson session has only been reissued on CD in Japan or available as part of Kirk complete Mercury sessions. Yikes, calling doctorjazz.
	♥ 12:06pm coelacanth∅: Bob, no artwork. i got it in a plain sleeve, in the 80s. wmfD maybe? it's only 1/2 the album though. i'm not home so can't look at it now but i don't think it's an acetate either, but it's heavy and thick. i think it's a columbia records pressing of some sort.
	♥ 12:07pm coelacanth∅: (if i remember correctly)
	♥ 12:08pm coelacanth∅: doc that was a FINE Kirk track.
	♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: I have to check the tracks on the Mercury Kirk (the mission, if I choose to accept it...)
	♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: *check the racks, meant to say...
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: But Benny Golson IS a saxophone player (got to see him live, never saw Kirk, alas...)
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Don't think Golson plays on the album. Luckily got to see Rahsaan, near the end...
	♥ 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob. I love Norma Tanega more than you know.
	♥ 12:20pm coelacanth∅: walkin' with a cat named Franco
	♥ 12:20pm StringOFperils: I admire your focus, Franco; that burrito looks irresistible to me
	♥ 12:22pm Franco Twinkie: It's two crab enchiladas, SoP. My true love.
	♥ 12:22pm WR: I looked at Franco's icon pics this morning and man, so much great food. And interesting books too.
	♥ 12:23pm WR: And what kind of enchiladas in the Cooder book pic?
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Hi Franco Twinkie! Glad to hear it, you'd love this 2 cd or 2 lp set!
	♥ 12:24pm StringOFperils: I suspected I might be wrong on the dish...looks delicious.
	♥ 12:26pm Franco Twinkie: WR, You're a reader - I know that. But I'm not a literary snob. At at this time in my life when so much else is falling by the wayside, I still have books - plenty of books.
	♥ 12:27pm WR: I got this Tanega CD comp, but have to say I wish it was at least a 3 CD set and included all the tracks from the two released albums.
	♥ 12:28pm WR: So many books; so many windows into people, time and places; and time is getting short...
	♥ 12:31pm StringOFperils: Thank goodness for WFMU. I would never get to hear all of these great things without it. Speaking of last refuges.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: WR, completely agree. I get the idea it was really made for 2 LPs and the 2 cd was kind of an afterthought. I wish it had more tracks, but I'm sure glad it exists, even if it's on the skimpy side.
	♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: WR, The enchiladas in the Cooder picture are two shrimp with a chicken mole tucked in the middle. This restaurant is within walking distance from my house, right across the street from the San Gabriel Mission, where I was baptized so many years ago.
	♥ 12:39pm WR: Yum, Franco. Seafood enchiladas are not common in typical NYC 'hood places. Maybe can be found in the flashy yuppie places which I generally avoid for reasons of both price and flavor.
	12:39pm chresti -sf: I love this!
	12:40pm chresti -sf: @matusa
	♥ 12:40pm StringOFperils: No chimichangas on Mizar 5.
	12:40pm chresti -sf: *mutasa
	♥ 12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Chresti!
	♥ 12:42pm WR: "Tendai Mavengeni (Zimbabwe) is an mbira player and vocalist. At 19 years old, she's the youngest Zimbabwean mbira recording artist, and already has two albums to her name. " Still looking for the albums...
	♥ 12:44pm WR: Where I got that quote: makingtracksmusic.org...
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: I found this thanks to Jim Pugliese, a great mbira (& more!) player himself: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: WR, about a week before I met Chresti in 1982, I started having a short lived affair with a girl who lived in San Francisco. One afternoon she took me to lunch at a Mexican restaurant on 24th Street in The Mission. She introduced me to crab enchiladas. My life was turned upside down.
	♥ 12:53pm WR: My kids tell me to stop buying music, listen to it from youtube or whatever. They even told me not to send them CDs or DVDs, but to please just provide a link. but I have experienced that the internet giveth and the internet taketh away when you least expect it. On the other hand, they don't have storage space issues.
	♥ 1:20pm adamdoesit: Franco, I guess chresti turned it right side up again? WR, maybe your kids have a point. No one really owns music (other than, one hopes, the musicians who make it). Yet somehow I keep trying. Chasing the dragon, I suppose.
	♥ 1:25pm Franco Twinkie: Day of the Triffids is such a peculiar movie. The basic concept was walking plants that looked like large stalks of marijuana terrorized people who live in a light house. First, they try to scare them away with music from the speaker on the top of an ice cream truck, and when that failed some genius figured out if you squirt them with sea water they'd fall over and die. I would watch this on TV when I was kid, perplexed and excited at the same time.
	♥ 1:32pm doctorjazz: My girls don't do "solid media", it's mostly Spotify, sometimes YouTube. Me, I love my LPs and CDs (LPs most, though they've gotten much more expensive since they became hip). Love the sound of them, the art work, the liner notes... Had a TIDAL subscription, hardly used it, dropped it. Have the free Spotify, hardly use it either.
	♥ 1:33pm WR: The movie title "Day of the Triffids" always stuck with me but don't remember if I ever saw it. Even with your summary Franco. Will have to take a look. Now we are hearing the University of Professor Jelly Roll Morton.
	♥ 1:38pm doctorjazz: Bar walking territory!
	♥ 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, we're old guys. With obsessions that refuse to die I'm afraid. Kids will always be kids. Some day these kids will be old people too, God willing. I suspect they'll feel marginalized by what ever junk dominates the cultural landscape at that moment, as we are now.
	♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Franco, sure thing. My 23 year old already thinks of her 28 year old sister as an "oldie".
	♥ 1:44pm WR: Yes, that Cecil Payne is a Block Buster for sure.
	♥ 1:46pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti is in an Francisco right now. Last night she was describing her day to me. She said the street is overrun by tech bros. marching around like they own the place, and I suppose they do. At one time that was us. But of course they're idea of pop culture is probably total crap. They know about computers, but are woefully deficient in what makes good music. I say this with complete conviction.
	♥ 1:49pm StringOFperils: Don't sweat the automatons. Be glad you don't have to share the narrow, super-heated, foodless, plastic tunnel with them for another 60 years.
	♥ 1:50pm Franco Twinkie: Word.
	♥ 1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
	♥ 1:53pm WR: Great episode Bob, and great reading thoughts and comments of WFMU streamers and dreamers. Onward, going to step away from the screen to make some lunch. I'll be listening...
	♥ 1:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bob. I'm going out onto the front porch to bang two rocks together, to summons thunder and lightning.
	♥ 1:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, enjoyed the show!
	♥ 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Burt Bacharach is ninety-freaking-four (and going strong).
	♥ 1:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks man. If I'm gonna whistle past the boneyard, I might as well have respectable repertoire. Have a good one, everybody!
	♥ 1:57pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the sounds, Bob.
	1:57pm Jeff: Burt Bacharach is 94! Thanks for another great three hours Bob!
	♥ 1:58pm coelacanth∅: give kids nowadays 2 rocks and they don't know what to do with them.
	1:58pm (Mr) Bill: Time flies between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Thanks, Bob.
	♥ 1:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob!
	♥ 10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ BB ~
