	6:17pm Stu Rutherford: This is the devil's music. He certainly IS listening!
	6:18pm Fatherflot: Love the fact that Wolf went to work at Chess in a suit and carrying a brief case. . and came home to an Ozzie and Harriet lifestyle after making those epic songs about evil and desire.

	👻 6:20pm Frank In Queens: Thanks Richard! Looking forward to it myself.

	👻 6:22pm Frank In Queens: @Candy, same! I'm sure you're gonna do great!
	6:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves especially Wolf, ElmoreJames - RobertJohnson ...all CountryBlues really - the most Authentic thing there is. (SonHouse, SkipJames, Rev. RobertWilkens ...you know.) & Chicago Blues when it went up the river & plugged in - where so much of our Rawk comes from. Especially if yer a Gittarhead... You know who I always forget on the shortlist - John Lee Hooker. He always gets there. I always imagine his ancestors were Priests in West Africa...
	6:22pm Richard Whig: Hey, as Slim Harpo sez - scratch my back! haha
	6:23pm Andres: Speaking of crawdads, we found a crayfish head in the birdbath today. There’s a river across the road but I wouldn’t eat anything out of it.
	6:24pm MOM WHIG: Andres - what a story!
	6:24pm Fatherflot: Andres -- there's a haiku there fo' sure
	6:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..yerknow - you get this one guy with one offbrand instrument ...& out comes this stuff that's @ the Center of all the Past & Future...
	6:26pm Richard Whig: here's one for RevRabbit!
	6:26pm Andres: Fatherflot: I’ll work on it :)
	6:27pm Richard Whig: i am sorry i haven't greeted everyone - had some admin stuff to fix earlier in the show - i really appreciate everyone listening and commenting! cheers!
	6:27pm Candy-O'67: Great shot of John Lee Hooker!
	6:28pm Mike Sin: Hi Richard! I'm listening on the go, as it were. Still moseying around JC after the REcord Riot. Enjoying the show! We've got the "blues" right now -- Blue curacao in our drinks!
	6:28pm Richard Whig: "mr. Lucky"!
	👻 6:28pm Woo: Hey everybody
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John Lee Hooker Born: August 22, 1912 or 1917, Tutwiler, Tallahatchie County, Mississippi, U.S. Died: June 21, 2001 (aged either 83 or 88), Los Altos, California
	6:29pm Candy-O'67: I'm with there with you, Rev Rabbit, on blues style!
	6:29pm MOM WHIG: Woo glad you could make it here Hi there Mike Sin too
	6:29pm Candy-O'67: Aww, thx, Frank! I hope so
	6:30pm Candy-O'67: That's a killer shot of Lightning, too!
	6:30pm Candy-O'67: Hey Woo, Mike Sin
	6:31pm Richard Whig: sting me one tyme!
	6:31pm Candy-O'67: Rev Rabbit, I remember when he died. I hadn't lived in Long Beach even two years yet. I totally remember it
	6:33pm Richard Whig: sting me one MORE tyme!
	6:33pm Candy-O'67: I like the album title of Mississippi Fred's rekkid
	6:34pm Richard Whig: me too Candy! and i'm not gonna argue with him!
	6:34pm MOM WHIG: Nice License Plate on John Lee Hooker pic
	6:34pm Candy-O'67: Haha!!
	6:34pm Scott67: G'day Richard & Blue Whigs! ☕😎🤙👣🎶📻🌏🌻
	6:35pm Richard Whig: hey hey Scotty!
	6:35pm MOM WHIG: Scotty - glad you are here with us for "The Blues"
	6:36pm Candy-O'67: Scotty-O, hey cobber!🐶🤙🌵🪴📻🤠
	6:36pm Scott67: Glad I am too MOM 😎🤙🌺
	6:36pm Fatherflot: The sound of blues guitar is the direct result of the life of the players -- it is a style that come naturally to (mostly) men with incredibly strong hands, callused, bruised, and cut from a lifetime of hard manual labor. The pushing, pulling and downright throttling of those strings speaks volumes about where those hands came from.
	6:37pm MOM WHIG: F2 that's a really good insight into the songs
	6:37pm Scott67: G'day Candy-O ☕😎🤙🌵🌷
	6:38pm Candy-O'67: BB and old Lucille🎸
	6:38pm MOM WHIG: Candy - I only got to see BB one time here in DC in the 90's. WOW what a show.
	6:38pm Richard Whig: gonna plug in for this last set
	6:39pm Fatherflot: Richard -- do you believe B.B.'s claim that he didn't know how to play chords?
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Richard and the Bluesers! Just back off the water.
	6:40pm Richard Whig: no I don't. maybe he didn't learn "proper" chording, but he could work his way around just fine.
	6:40pm Richard Whig: hey Handy, welcome!
	6:41pm Fatherflot: RW -- I always thought of that claim as about his status as the singer and lead player. Comping was for backup guys. . .
	6:41pm MOM WHIG: hi there Handy
	👻 6:41pm Frank In Queens: Love the rawness of this recording
	6:42pm Richard Whig: Frank - totally agree. so great!
	👻 6:42pm Frank In Queens: Hey now, Handy
	6:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think of Blues as all the WestAfrican Spiritual practices & culture - which for them is inseparable from the Musics - put thru the inferno of Slavery in the Americas & all the race-based tribulations after it. There really is nothing more incredible in all the World than this.
	6:42pm Fatherflot: Guitar distortion = guys pushing little amps based on radio schematics past their clean headroom while trying to compete with snare drums at dances.
	6:43pm Candy-O'67: You're so lucky, Mom! I never did. I did go to his museum on MS at least 7 or 8 years ago with my dad. It was really cool. He also took me to a old juke joint restaurant near thr Arkansas and MS border they used to frequent when my dad was young with his brothers and parents. You had to enter through the kitchen in the back. The tamales were the best I ever had and amazing steaks and potatoes and bread, too! Such a cool place. I need to ask my dad the name of it again
	6:44pm David Shortell: Was this before he became known as "Champion" Jack Dupree ?
	6:44pm MOM WHIG: Candy how amazing to go with you Dad. What a trip that must have been. Did you know BB had 15 children?
	6:44pm Mike Sin: How many stamps did this cost Jack Dupree in the mid-1950s?
	6:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fatherflot - there's a video I just saw of B.B.King talking about his influences - & he describes T-Bone Walker & CharlieChristian & Django Reinhardt - & their technical aspects - in a succinct manner - & plays little examples of them. There's nothing really 'primitive' about it...
	6:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank, Mom, all! Frank, the river was only a little violent today. Really nice out there. Gotta get cleaned up soon so I can take K8 out for our anniversary dinner! But a drink, first. Are we not civilized?
	6:45pm MOM WHIG: Good one Mike!
	6:45pm Candy-O'67: It really was, Mom! He took me one time after we had visited my sis in New Orleans. I probably learned that he did at the museum, but I had forgotten that
	6:46pm Richard Whig: Mike, i think a 69 cent stamp was sufficient at that time.
	6:46pm Candy-O'67: Hey Handy! Sounds like you've had an adventurous day and a nice evening planned😁
	6:47pm Joe B: @mike sin - how was the record riot?
	6:47pm MOM WHIG: Handy - Anniversary good for you - so how many?
	6:47pm Fatherflot: RR63 - Never used the word "primitive" -- and of course BB comes towards the end of the tradition. He's a DJ and an urban sophisticate who plays a polished "uptown" version of the old country blues, influenced by jazz and pop
	6:48pm Candy-O'67: Hey Joe B!
	6:49pm Scott67: Happy Anniversary Handy & K8!! 😎🤙🎉🥂🍾❤️❤️
	👻 6:49pm Frank In Queens: Oh, I don't know Carey Bell. Cool.
	6:49pm Candy-O'67: Carey is gettin' down. Love this one!
	6:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Candy-O! Sometimes it all just comes together. A friend of ours was in town from LA, and she came with us and got a full NYC canoeing experience -- seaplane on the creek, drunken party boats, asshole ferry captains, egrets, cool breezes, NYC neighborhood beach life, warm sun, cool waters. Kind of great. Twenty-three, Mom Whig!
	6:50pm MOM WHIG: Handy - what a FUN Day for sure. Congrats again!
	6:50pm Andres: Thanks, Richard! Another great instalment! Looking forward to next dip into the Blues vault.
	6:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Candy-O'67 - that's wonderful. Growing up in NewHampshire - there was no possibility of such a thing here. FF - exactly. 'Primitive' my word, not yours, no. B.B. never spoke in braggadocious terms it seems. Always complimentary & open-minded with others too. Not the image of the proud maybe contentious streetwise old Bluesman...
	👻 6:51pm Frank In Queens: Nice, Handy. Enjoy the special din din.
	6:52pm PaulRobeson1922: He he he
	6:52pm Crypt digger: This Good show Richard
	6:52pm Mike Sin: @Joe B -- pretty crowded with dealers! I just focused on 45s. Ran into Todd when I first got there.
	6:52pm Candy-O'67: Sounds like a blast, Handy!
	6:53pm Stu Rutherford: Elmore Fudd!
	6:53pm Candy-O'67: Hey Crypt Digger
	6:53pm Richard Whig: LOL Stu!
	6:53pm Joe B: ha yes stu!
	👻 6:53pm Frank In Queens: Nice one Richard (Elmore)! Get the blues again soon.
	6:53pm MOM WHIG: Is it the END almost time - GREAT tunes hey there Crypt Figger
	6:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elmore Fudd AGNFAB...
	6:54pm Richard Whig: lookin forward to the upcoming Drop Inns!

	6:34pm MOM WHIG: Nice License Plate on John Lee Hooker pic
	6:34pm Candy-O'67: Haha!!
	6:34pm Scott67: G'day Richard & Blue Whigs! ☕😎🤙👣🎶📻🌏🌻
	6:35pm Richard Whig: hey hey Scotty!
	6:35pm MOM WHIG: Scotty - glad you are here with us for "The Blues"
	6:36pm Candy-O'67: Scotty-O, hey cobber!🐶🤙🌵🪴📻🤠
	6:36pm Scott67: Glad I am too MOM 😎🤙🌺
	6:36pm Fatherflot: The sound of blues guitar is the direct result of the life of the players -- it is a style that come naturally to (mostly) men with incredibly strong hands, callused, bruised, and cut from a lifetime of hard manual labor. The pushing, pulling and downright throttling of those strings speaks volumes about where those hands came from.
	6:37pm MOM WHIG: F2 that's a really good insight into the songs
	6:37pm Scott67: G'day Candy-O ☕😎🤙🌵🌷
	6:38pm Candy-O'67: BB and old Lucille🎸
	6:38pm MOM WHIG: Candy - I only got to see BB one time here in DC in the 90's. WOW what a show.
	6:38pm Richard Whig: gonna plug in for this last set
	6:39pm Fatherflot: Richard -- do you believe B.B.'s claim that he didn't know how to play chords?
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Richard and the Bluesers! Just back off the water.
	6:40pm Richard Whig: no I don't. maybe he didn't learn "proper" chording, but he could work his way around just fine.
	6:40pm Richard Whig: hey Handy, welcome!
	6:41pm Fatherflot: RW -- I always thought of that claim as about his status as the singer and lead player. Comping was for backup guys. . .
	6:41pm MOM WHIG: hi there Handy
	👻 6:41pm Frank In Queens: Love the rawness of this recording
	6:42pm Richard Whig: Frank - totally agree. so great!
	👻 6:42pm Frank In Queens: Hey now, Handy
	6:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think of Blues as all the WestAfrican Spiritual practices & culture - which for them is inseparable from the Musics - put thru the inferno of Slavery in the Americas & all the race-based tribulations after it. There really is nothing more incredible in all the World than this.
	6:42pm Fatherflot: Guitar distortion = guys pushing little amps based on radio schematics past their clean headroom while trying to compete with snare drums at dances.
	6:43pm Candy-O'67: You're so lucky, Mom! I never did. I did go to his museum on MS at least 7 or 8 years ago with my dad. It was really cool. He also took me to a old juke joint restaurant near thr Arkansas and MS border they used to frequent when my dad was young with his brothers and parents. You had to enter through the kitchen in the back. The tamales were the best I ever had and amazing steaks and potatoes and bread, too! Such a cool place. I need to ask my dad the name of it again
	6:44pm David Shortell: Was this before he became known as "Champion" Jack Dupree ?
	6:44pm MOM WHIG: Candy how amazing to go with you Dad. What a trip that must have been. Did you know BB had 15 children?
	6:44pm Mike Sin: How many stamps did this cost Jack Dupree in the mid-1950s?
	6:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fatherflot - there's a video I just saw of B.B.King talking about his influences - & he describes T-Bone Walker & CharlieChristian & Django Reinhardt - & their technical aspects - in a succinct manner - & plays little examples of them. There's nothing really 'primitive' about it...
	6:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank, Mom, all! Frank, the river was only a little violent today. Really nice out there. Gotta get cleaned up soon so I can take K8 out for our anniversary dinner! But a drink, first. Are we not civilized?
	6:45pm MOM WHIG: Good one Mike!
	6:45pm Candy-O'67: It really was, Mom! He took me one time after we had visited my sis in New Orleans. I probably learned that he did at the museum, but I had forgotten that
	6:46pm Richard Whig: Mike, i think a 69 cent stamp was sufficient at that time.
	6:46pm Candy-O'67: Hey Handy! Sounds like you've had an adventurous day and a nice evening planned😁
	6:47pm Joe B: @mike sin - how was the record riot?
	6:47pm MOM WHIG: Handy - Anniversary good for you - so how many?
	6:47pm Fatherflot: RR63 - Never used the word "primitive" -- and of course BB comes towards the end of the tradition. He's a DJ and an urban sophisticate who plays a polished "uptown" version of the old country blues, influenced by jazz and pop
	6:48pm Candy-O'67: Hey Joe B!
	6:49pm Scott67: Happy Anniversary Handy & K8!! 😎🤙🎉🥂🍾❤️❤️
	👻 6:49pm Frank In Queens: Oh, I don't know Carey Bell. Cool.
	6:49pm Candy-O'67: Carey is gettin' down. Love this one!
	6:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Candy-O! Sometimes it all just comes together. A friend of ours was in town from LA, and she came with us and got a full NYC canoeing experience -- seaplane on the creek, drunken party boats, asshole ferry captains, egrets, cool breezes, NYC neighborhood beach life, warm sun, cool waters. Kind of great. Twenty-three, Mom Whig!
	6:50pm MOM WHIG: Handy - what a FUN Day for sure. Congrats again!
	6:50pm Andres: Thanks, Richard! Another great instalment! Looking forward to next dip into the Blues vault.
	6:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Candy-O'67 - that's wonderful. Growing up in NewHampshire - there was no possibility of such a thing here. FF - exactly. 'Primitive' my word, not yours, no. B.B. never spoke in braggadocious terms it seems. Always complimentary & open-minded with others too. Not the image of the proud maybe contentious streetwise old Bluesman...
	👻 6:51pm Frank In Queens: Nice, Handy. Enjoy the special din din.
	6:52pm PaulRobeson1922: He he he
	6:52pm Crypt digger: This Good show Richard
	6:52pm Mike Sin: @Joe B -- pretty crowded with dealers! I just focused on 45s. Ran into Todd when I first got there.

	6:53pm Stu Rutherford: Elmore Fudd!
