Listener comments!
	🥁 7:02pm WR: Calculating the deviance needed to have my ears observe for the next three hours.
	7:04pm Observations: good evening!
	7:05pm Dean: Acquired this CD not long ago and a day ago the LP of The Giant Is Awakened arrived.
	7:21pm adamdoesit: Hi observers and observants. David, thank you for the introduction to Tapscott.
	7:31pm doctorjazz: Hi David and Observers!
	7:33pm Observations: Lots of l o n g tracks tonight, dig in!
	7:35pm doctorjazz: The first Tapscott records I heard were The Dark Tree v1 and 2 (at one point you couldn't find any others). They remain among my favorites.
	7:36pm Dean: The Guardian today had a story about a promising group, Ultimate Thunder, the bass player for whom is John Greaves. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/21/the-most-mark-e-smith-thing-ever-the-post-punk-band-whose-members-have-learning-disabilities My question: Is this Greaves the John Greaves of Henry Cow and National Health, etc.?
	7:38pm Observations: Dean - excellent question! I have not read the article, and am unfamiliar with that name, so I don't have an answer, but I will investigate
	7:38pm Observations: I mean BAND not name
	🥁 7:40pm WR: The Elaine Brown release seems a bit familiar to me, looked it up on discogs. I don't remember the woman with automatic weapon image from the 70s, I think it is from the reissue. I think I remember seeing the black and blue near silhouette photo. I may only have one of the Flying Dutchman sessions Tapscott. So greatly digging this feature.
	🥁 7:55pm WR: Interesting read Dean, and I am sure you know the answer to your question. The article says that the only member of the band without disabilities is the guitarist, James Heselwood, about whom only find web pages referencing the special project featured in your link.
	🥁 7:57pm WR: but is interesting coincidence that both gents named Greaves play bass.
	7:59pm Dean: I don't know the answer. It's possible that John Greaves is cognitively impaired, isn't it?
	8:02pm Dean: Anyway, I so love Horace Tapscott's music making.
	8:15pm Observations: Nimbus West is reactivated: www.nimbuswestrecords.com
	8:17pm Observations: www.instagram.com...
	8:17pm Doug Schulkind: This show is heavenly.
	8:18pm Dean: Amen. I remember visiting Poobah in Pasadena and seeing the series of Nimbus West LPs of Tapscott. I now regret not purchasing them. We're talking mid'-'80s. What a grand time.
	8:20pm Observations: Horace Tapscott Interview (1992) twitter.com...
	8:34pm doctorjazz: This is very cool!
	🥁 8:36pm WR: For those who go digital, nimbus west is on bandcamp nimbuswest.bandcamp.com...
	8:57pm TopPeacock: This kicks ass
	🥁 8:58pm WR: Is that Lorenzo Milam recording available anywhere online? I just recently did some searching about him and the most that I found was here: www.krabarchive.com... Haven't through all of the items on that page, wondering if what you played might come from a speech / presentation that Milam did at the NFCB conference that was in in Telluride, Colorado, June 17, 1976.
	9:01pm Observations: Yes, it's on YT, originally from Colorado 1976
	9:04pm Observations: youtu.be...
	🥁 9:06pm WR: Thanks!
	9:10pm doctorjazz: Quite a unique piano style.
	9:10pm doctorjazz: Don't always appreciate it in the larger ensembles.
	9:13pm Doug Schulkind: I am practically vibrating in anticipation of that Mr Bongo gem.
	🥁 9:18pm WR: Have to step away, will relisten from the archive. Thank you again for this feature! David.
	9:19pm Top Peacock: What was the music under the last DJ Speaks?
	9:20pm Observations: a loop I made of Roger McGuinn's guitar from the Candy soundtrack
	🥁 9:21pm WR: By the way, Doug if you're still reading comments, David's Observations WFMU user isn't linked to his program yet. Don't know if that is by preference or what.
	9:59pm doctorjazz: What the hell was the back up on that last track? Thanks, David!
	10:01pm Observations: DJ Shadow instrumental looped - Six Days
	10:02pm Observations: I assume you mean the music I was speaking over
	1:04pm Passaic River Blues: ↳ Song: "Eternal Egypt Suite, Part 4 (of Four Parts)" by "... This is incredible!
