	11:08am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:08am spodiodi: gm, chresti!\\//
	11:09am dan: It's a shame that you don't have top 10 instrumental songs on the charts, it's a bigger shame that you don't have music on the charts period.
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: Hey Bob!
	🥁 11:10am chresti: morning spodi!\\//
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:10am Asheville Jon: howdy Bob! and everyone else!
	11:10am TDK60: Till now, I never heard the original of 'Out of Limits,' know it from a Ventures cover.
	11:10am dan: Nut Rocker, later covered by Emerson Lake and Palmer
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: Your collection of 45's looks just like mine!
	🥁 11:11am wmfromD: Definitely the golden age of pop instrumentals.
	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodiodi!
	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hey Franco Twinkie!
	11:12am spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	🥁 11:13am PT: Obligatory gearhead comment: sounds like Lonnie's rocking a Magnatone amp here.
	11:13am Franco Twinkie: Andrew, I just spilled my coffee all over the floor!
	11:17am TDK60: P.T. - Mack was rockin' the tremolo effect, right? That was all? There were no floor pedals yet, right?
	11:18am dan: Someone needs to do a documentary about one hit wonders that vanished as soon as they came on the scene. I'd like to know whatever happened to performers like Marcie Blane
	🥁 11:21am PT: TDK60: Right you are, the Magnatone had a built-in tremolo unit. It sounds more Leslie-like than Fender's tremolo. Robert Ward of the Falcons etc also used one, as did Steve Ferguson of NRBQ.
	🥁 11:21am (Mr) Bill: Mornin’, Bob, Pete, and all pre-Beatle-ite Brainiackackackacks.
	🥁 11:22am hopewithfeathers: Howdy Bob and fellow Brainiacs. I’m listening live for the first time in awhile. It’s good to be back!
	11:22am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	11:22am TDK60: P.T. Thanks. Yes, I noticed a different sound and wondered if it was additional or in the tremolo effect itself.
	11:22am Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers!
	11:26am spodiodi: howdy, (Mr) Bill, hopewithfeathers!
	11:27am gene sculatti: Am late to the show. Sounds great.
	11:27am Dean: Any chance we'll hear Big Jay McNeely? I recently wrote a poem about him.
	🥁 11:28am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & all!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:29am dan: Heat Wave had equally good covers by Linda Ronstadt, The Who and Lulu
	🥁 11:30am PT: dan: The Who's cover is killer! You can just imagine masses of mods on the dance floor.
	🥁 11:30am hopewithfeathers: Hiya spodiodi, happy Saturday!
	🥁 11:32am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:34am dan: Music these days are decided by algorithms
	11:44am Joe: Morning all. Love the show With regard to Danny Kirwans group Boilerhouse (pre F Mac) the groups five acetates are available on “Something Inside of Me – Unreleased Masters & Demos from the British Blues years 1963 – 1976” (Wienerworld Records 2021) Thank you
	11:44am Franco Twinkie: Kim Fowley. Yes he was a monster, but he was also great. The paradox of life.
	11:45am Frank Zaatar: Emerson Lake and Palmer's cover of Nutrocker was the highlight of Pictures at an Exhibition.
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Joe! Thanks for info!
	🥁 11:46am PT: Joe: I've known about the Boilerhouse for awhile, but that CD set is a bit pricey for my blood. Do you have it? How is it?
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	11:47am Frank Zaatar: Hi, Bob, glad to be here. So is Let's Dance the first Tex-Mex Farfisa-based single to break?
	11:47am Joe: Bob's show got a mention on 7secondDelays show of the 31st, in particular the shows theme (Levine's Image According to the liner notes on the Brainen Cats and Dogs CD it was originally a theme on WMCA!! Great stuff - the A side (pt 1) gets the nod over the B side match!
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: This song makes me think of Animal House.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Joe!
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: Let's dance I mean.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	11:49am Joe: Had the sheet music for Stephen Bishops Animal House which is immeasurably sad
	11:49am Franco Twinkie: Chris Montez was a Chicano surfer. Very rare in the early sixties. All those blondies didn't want beaners at their beach. Sad but true.
	🥁 11:49am PT: Franco Twinkie: Kim F is a prime example (and one of many) of the eternal "can we separate the artist from the art?" conundrum.
	11:50am Joe: Bob! Happy birthday man! (Mine actyally
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Well, Happy Birthday Joe!
	11:52am Joe: No idea PT. Assume it's better than Flee (Jeremy Spencer). (Actually Jeremy has cut several blues CDs over the last decade. Mick's blues band does the odd Peter Green tribute. I assume they're in open G (Madison blues, Etc
	11:52am Eugene Bentley: I have Joel Whitburns Top Pop Singles 1955-1990.
	11:53am Frank Zaatar: So Cal-Mex? I'm wondering about that organ-based sound that goes on to Sir Douglas (Tex-Mex) and ? (Mich-Mex).
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: What can you say PT? Do guys behave differently now - probably. Today those kind of stunts can wreck a career in a hot minute.
	11:53am Joe: A day or 2 late. Morning all!
	11:53am dan: Beatles must’ve lifted the riff of This Boy from Sleep Walk
	11:54am Eugene Bentley: My favorite of the early instrumentals.
	11:55am Joe: Reading thru these comments is rather like looking through the cd liner notes on Feeding Frenzy or something: the Dick Clark Five: "knew the value of a well placed diminished chord". Oye Isabel!!
	11:55am Eugene Bentley: There is a comparison to this.boy and sleepwalk. It was also inspiration for Fleetwood Mac Albatros.
	11:56am dan: @Joe Jeremy Spencer can never tour the US again. A human rights group protested his visit because of his alleged involvement in nefarious crimes against children through his affiliation with The Children Of God cult. They petitioned to all the venues and each of them canceled his appearances
	11:57am Joe: I can hear that. Kinda. Albatross was still an original. Bet it's still tabbed in issues of Total Guitar (where I learned it
	11:57am Joe: I know Dan
	11:58am watchpocket: Oh yeah! I have been transported back, listening to Dick Biondi on a leather-bound transistor, in my tent, up on rattlesnake point!
	11:58am Eugene Bentley: Fleetwood Mac's first million seller.
	🥁 11:58am Gina Bacon: I confess that I had the Donny Osmond 45 of this when I was little.
	11:59am Bob Brainen: watchpocket!
	11:59am Joe: Just learned my favorite writer (David Eddings) growing up was guilty of child abuse. Never sure how to take these things onboard. Yeah. The Children of God are nasty by all acvount
	12:01pm Joe: Love Jeremy's playing though..the first successful single of Macs was his Shake Your Moneymaker (in open E?) - in somewhere like Sweden it topped the charts. Madness.
	12:01pm Eugene Bentley: Oh my God. I had Donny's version as well. But if.anyone asks me I'll totally deny it.
	🥁 12:02pm listener james from westwood: Aw, this Vince always makes me smile. (Spoiler, true of just about all Vince.)
	🥁 12:02pm duke: Got here late, but really enjoying this stuff. Wonderful history lesson.
	12:02pm Joe: That's frightening. One bad apple
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: duke!
	12:03pm James Douglas: OK, so which NYC DJ used Cast Your Fate to the Wind as bumper/theme music back in the day? Was either on WNEW or WPLJ, can't remember!
	12:03pm Eugene Bentley: My first 45 I purchased was double lovin'.
	12:03pm Wendy S: Morning all! ❤️ing the show!
	12:04pm CalZone!: BB & PT! Really digging the show thus far! Radio perfection!
	12:04pm Joe: Eugene: This Boy WAS an instrumental on the Hard Days lp! American issue?)
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: James Douglas! I do not know, but great choice.
	🥁 12:05pm PT: Joe: Called Ringo's Theme, right?
	12:05pm Eugene Bentley: It sure was. The brits didn't know anything about it.
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: Wendy S!
	🥁 12:06pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas: It was WNEW-FM. The DJ’s name escapes me at the moment.
	12:07pm dan: Ironically, this Gene Pitney song was a bigger hit in the UK
	12:08pm Eugene Bentley: Gene Putney Billy Joe royal knockoff
	🥁 12:08pm (Mr) Bill: Tommy Roe channels Buddy Holly.
	12:09pm Eugene Bentley: Putney. Damn autocorrect.
	12:09pm Franco Twinkie: Down in the Boondocks refitted with a different narrative.
	12:10pm Eugene Bentley: Pitney. Autocorrect strikes again.
	🥁 12:11pm wmfromD: Nice to hear some Upchurch from this period. Killer stuff.
	12:11pm Frank Zaatar: Buddy Holly seems to have spawned a generation of glottal-stop singers in the early 60s (e.g. Tommy Roe and Gene Pitney).
	12:14pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill - I thought so. Was it Dennis Elsas??
	🥁 12:15pm (Mr) Bill: Damn—mistook “Wild Weekend” for “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Back to school....
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas—Might have been Dennis Elsas. We could ring WFUV to ask. Something intangible in my mind is telling me it was someone else.
	🥁 12:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:18pm Eugene Bentley: I love the Cameo Parkway box set.
	12:19pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill: I just found a 1978 recording of Dennis handing off to Alison Steele, and sure enough, it was his closing theme. www.mixcloud.com...
	12:22pm Eugene Bentley: It is goffin king.
	12:22pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill: I gotta listen to that whole clip, 44:30 of my long forgotten past.
	12:28pm gene sculatti: Right-on, long overdue, praise for Fats Domino, you guys!
	12:34pm Eugene Bentley: Another Animal House memory.
	12:34pm Franco Twinkie: My mom use to whistle this while she was doing house work.
	12:34pm dan: Jasper from The Simpsons: “The Theme From A Summer Place, It’s the Theme From A Summer Place”
	12:37pm Bri: GREAT MAUIC TO SWIM TO’
	12:37pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bri!
	12:39pm Bri: Hey Franco!
	🥁 12:41pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas—Great find. Thanks. Can’t wait to hear the Nightbird’s voice again.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Bri!
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & Pete and all
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Coel. This one is a doozy!
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: good morning Franco!
	12:44pm Frank Zaatar: I don't want to tell you how old I was before I learned that Walk Right In was a brothel song.
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	🥁 12:45pm PT: @Frank Zaatar: It is?
	12:46pm Wendy S: Take Five’s absolutely timeless.
	12:46pm dan: I’d love to see a brand new jazz song enter the main Billboard charts in 2022.
	🥁 12:46pm Mxter Baba: Take Five is so intensely nostalgic for me. Hi, Bob and folx!
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Baba!
	12:47pm Bob Brainen: Mxter Baba!
	🥁 12:47pm Mxter Baba: heyyy Pranko!!
	12:48pm Eugene Bentley: Take 5 reminds of the different jazz records my dad used to bring home.
	12:48pm Bri: Hey Bob! Hey Baba!
	12:50pm doctorjazz: Been here since the beginning,great car company,thanks (gotta run now).
	12:51pm dan: Are you going to play Walk On By or The Auctioneer by Leroy Van Dyke?
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Why is this song so poignant?
	🥁 12:52pm Mxter Baba: Bri! Great to see you!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: the original walk right in might've been about a brothel. there're only 2-3 lines but they're hard to understand...but definitely something about coming inside, being satisfied, but not being allowed to linger. i don't know what else that could mean!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: i never listened to the rooftop singers version
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: hi Baba! hi Bri!
	12:55pm Frank Zaatar: @Bob and Coel: Here's a line from the original Gus Cannon: "Walk right in, stay a little while /But daddy, you can't stay too long." I think there was also a line about a "Two-way woman".
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: oh, Gus Cannon. Thanks, i was thinking Bill Broonzy
	12:59pm Bri: Hey Coel!
	1:00pm Bri: Always great to see you too Baba!
	1:00pm Dean: This set is a fair sample of my parents' collection. I recall spinning many of these c.'64.
	🥁 1:00pm Mxter Baba: greetings, coelacanth∅!
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: Shimmy Shimmy Shi-Yi Yippiddis!!
	1:03pm Joe: PT oh sure. Strongly tempted to get the box/book just for the Kirwan Trax. Mojo's obituary of the man was rather sad: the man wrote the best songs on Future Games .. he seems to have kept in touch with Jeremy. But as Martin Celminns noted in his bio of Peter Green, DANNYs was the true tragic story in Fleetwood Mac. It's like Mercutios death in Romeo&Juliet
	🥁 1:03pm Mxter Baba: OK, I'm convinced. Bring on The Beatles!
	1:03pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everybody!
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: (or something)
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: Stuffed grape leaves and an iced shumba please.
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Jan Turkenburg!
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Jan!
	1:04pm Joe: Beatles? Who are this Beatles (oh! They opened for Montes!
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: hi Jan!
	🥁 1:04pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:04pm Bri: Hey Jan!
	1:05pm Joe: MarciaMarciaMarcia..JAN!
	1:05pm watchpocket: The Tammys hailed from Oil City (NorthWest) PA, 8 miles up the road from my stomping grounds, Franklin. We went to Friday-night YWCA dances in OC, where the Tammys would be dancing and singing at the top of their lungs with their sweet but Tough voices whenever a Lou Christy song came on. They were Lou's first female back singers.
	1:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Will!
	🥁 1:05pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Coelacanth!
	1:06pm watchpocket: Also Tammys: total beehive hair-dos.
	1:07pm Joe: Montez I mean. Yes there wasmusic before the Beatles..most of it is on the Not Fade Away box!!
	1:07pm Joe: Buddy box. Love Buddy
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: Joe i agree about Danny being the biggest mac tragedy to be honest i always wondered why Peter didn't kick spencer out after 1 album. he sucked. his music sucked, his shtick sucked, he ultimately wouldn't even play on the other's songs, and he was a dick. he brought nothing to fleetwood mac.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: the Peter story's tragic for us, but he made his own choices.
	1:12pm Joe: Jeremy was a good live performer
	1:15pm Joe: Peters story was kinda tragic..but he survived. Granted I never listen to the solo stuff. He played with Otis Spann or whoever. Of course his Mac stuff is beyond reproach. But he did ok. He owned his publishing. Wrote Black Magic Woman, I guess that's played endlessly even if the average punter think it's by Santana. Definitely buying Celmins revised bio of Peter this month
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Hey, Jody Reynolds also wrote Tight Capris. Shows he knew something about sports wear.
	1:16pm Pax: Bob B /Pete T, How do you two do. I was just thinking of how a lot of the later generations piss moan and groan about how they're sick of The Beatles. It's just because they don't realize how they significantly changed the sound of popular music for ever from the early mid sixty's until now. It was a major historic flashpoint in music history separating how music sounded before as is the theme of your show is doing now. Not to mention the Mondo countless influences they've had on so many other recording artists from that time on up. But on the other hand you can't hardly blame them because like us and anyone from all generations it's in the nature of the human mind that the majority of life's influences of what's is going on during that time of development is imprinted in the brain of our youthfulness is where we all generally live.
	1:17pm Joe: Don't see it as tragic, Peter greenbaums story. Kirwan was in a hostel and a boozer by all account. He was writing as good songs as Peter (Dragonfly, which peter LOVED .. Sunny side of heaven..Earl Grey...World in harmony..Coming your way..
	🥁 1:17pm PT: @Joe: Both Mr. Brainen and I are gigantic Danny K fans! Subject of a future show perhaps? And @coelacanthø: I saw FM Summer 1970 (first tour post-Green) and Jeremy KILLED IT with his Elvis etc. I agree that his endless Elmore James pastiches were not early Fleetwood Mac album highlights, but live he more than pulled his weight.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Pax! Good point.
	1:19pm Franco Twinkie: Pax, it's just kids shitting on their grandparents. Nothing new.
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: yes that's true, Jeremy was apparently a ham on stage. that's significant. but his contributions in the studio were expendable
	1:20pm Joe: Can you buy me the Something Inside of Me box? Do you need the Future Games reissue cd? Has a few bonus Trac: Stoned, Show me a smile. A Kirwin shows a good thought ..Rambam city off Second Chapter!
	1:20pm Dean: R&TR '63 I expect you mean?
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: oh i should read that Peter Green bio
	1:21pm Late Bloomer: This songs popped up on tv radar for me recently whit sonic boom and one of the avy tar? Panda bear guys.
	1:22pm Joe: PT unfortunately Jeremy's playing ruins the early Mac albums pre Then Play On, when they just did a Jeremy solo album with him instead: String along, etc
	1:22pm Bob Brainen: Late Bloomer!
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Pax, of course. a lot of people are ignorant to the evolution of things.
	1:23pm Late Bloomer: I may have to change my wfmu message board name to the mushed mouth talk texted
	1:23pm Joe: Something inside if Me is so pricy on Amazon, just got the new Love book (Keep on shining) and Pink Floyd book (BBC: 1967-1971
	1:27pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Younger people just want to get a rise out of oldsters - Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones. You know the fire drill.
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: Pete to be honest i can't stand that elvis bit! ...i made a fleetwood mac playlist on spotify a few years ago -174 songs, just a few jeremy songs. no oldies reviews, but a couple Elmore tributes. expendable material! - but wouldn't it be boring if we agreed about everything?!
	1:30pm Eugene Bentley: Another goffin king Great done with early soul ahead of its time.
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: Franco it's true. but also people have prejudice and people have selfish or fear-related motives that have nothing to do with the music itself. a lot of people who supposedly hate the beatles have never actually listened to it.
	1:32pm Wendy S: Saw the Brian Wilson Long Promised Road documentary recently. Great watch but left me feeling a bit emotional/sad about his life.
	1:32pm dan: Doesn’t get better than The Four Seasons
	1:33pm Late Bloomer: Love it when you two get together, great topic too. 👍👍
	1:33pm Joe: Not much out there on Kirwin, doubt his 3 solo albums are out on cd. He must have kicked it as a live performer with Mac (when he wasn't smashing his guitar). Someone here in NJ just published A Love That Burns on Peter Greens music with Mac (in 3 huge volumes to read) but aside from the Fleetwood Mac Family Album cd (which had the odd Kirwan track..there's not much!! Dragonfly is on the Kiln House reissue (Mac 69-74 box)
	1:33pm dan: @Joe I got a rock biography for you, Patrick Humphries biography of Nick Drake.
	🥁 1:34pm Mxter Baba: XOXOX Four Seasons!!! XOXOX
	🥁 1:34pm PT: @coelacanthø: On THAT we can agree!
	1:35pm dan: Having listened to a lot of The Seekers lately, I’m less enthusiastic about Peter, Paul and Mary
	🥁 1:35pm PT: It's nice to know that so many of you are as addicted to music bios and docs as I am!
	1:35pm TDK60: Big P,P&M fan here, just sayin.'
	🥁 1:41pm Mxter Baba: Miss Mercy's memoirs are amazing, if not conventionally a music bio
	1:41pm Joe: @Dan There's a new bio due on Nick Drake next year. He seems to have played on UK TV while on your w Fotheringhay (so 1969 then?) Doing Cello Song. Show called Octopus (see the Remembered for a while book). Haven't seen it. Probably didn't survive
	1:42pm dan: @Joe The book I have is from 1997, but it goes into a lot of Nick Drake’s early years, especially his brush with live performances
	1:43pm Joe: @coe Celminns book on Peter was good at the time. Writ back in the late 90s, I probably got it at Midnight Records along with back issues of the Castle. Nowadays..Amazon...
	1:44pm Frank Zaatar: @PT: Another music bio addict here. Somebody here mentioned Elijah Wald's How the Beatles Destroyed Rock and Roll the last installment of this show. One of the points he makes is how the British Invasion re-segregated (dis-integrated?) popular music. It wasn't the Beatles' fault, it was the industry. Wald is pretty much my favorite music writer.
	1:45pm Franco Twinkie: True that Coel. Fortunately all youngsters aren't like that. This happened two weeks ago at the farmers market: I was waking behind a woman who had on an outfit that was a perfect study in 1970's grandma. When I walked passed her I looked at her face and was shocked. I was a very beautiful young woman. I complemented her on outfit. She smiled and blushed. We talked about thrift stores and music. She really liked Pink Floyd! Go figure.
	1:45pm dan: Excellent show
	1:47pm Joe: @dan You know, I've always been surprised no live tapes of Nick Drake's are out there. At all. It's like trying to find Love live at the Whisky from 66-8 when there was a soundboard recording made! Nick DID open at high profile gigs, for Fairport after the crash. He did gig at Cousines or wherever! Can't believe no live tapes are out there! I'm sure there are even JohnMartyn live tapes out there! (Like London conversation is an album you wanna hear again
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: i Love early peter paul & mary. (their music -not the fact that they stole writing credit for countless songs!) i was raised on their 1st and 3rd (in the wind) albums. could sing along with all 24 of those songs by the age of 4...Thanks mom & dad for gathering the family around the living room to sing along with these records
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: Joe @143 Thanks!
	1:52pm Pax: Hey Twinks, Cøe. I've observed that the mind set of the majority of today's youth is oddly indifferent that uses nonsensical logic that dismisses any responsibility and accountability for what they do. While at the same time you must acknowledge them as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: haha Pax that sounds about right! but then (see Franco @145) there are exceptions, fortunately
	1:54pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Bob and Pete! see you all soon!
	1:55pm Wendy S: Thanks for all the work that must have gone into these 2-shows! As someone that can’t remember a time before the Beatles, I learned a lot!
	1:56pm Jeff: Thanks Bob + Pete!
	🥁 1:56pm duke: Thanks Bob and Pete
	🥁 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show Bob & Pete!
	1:57pm Eugene Bentley: Bob Brainen and Pete Tomlinson - the Dynamic Duo. Great show guys.
	1:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bob. This was a truly refreshing show to coincide with the first rain storm of the season.
	1:57pm TDK60: Thanks Bob & Pete. I hope to be back soon..
	🥁 1:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, y'all! Would never say no to a part 3!
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for another great one, Bob and Pete! On to Parts 3, 4, 5 and beyond!
	1:58pm Dean: I would second @Pax's closing sentence if it weren't sarcastic, which is how I read it (maybe mistakenly). I work with youth, i.e., young adults, both graduate students and undergrads. They impress me on a daily basis with their ambition, intelligence, wisdom, and heart. The cohort I see is to some extent self-selecting, and so I recognize they are not a fair sample. They want to learn and excel. But there are a lot like them, and this fact makes me very happy as I grow older.
	1:58pm Asheville Jon: thanks Bob!
	1:58pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Doug!
	🥁 1:59pm PT: Thanks EVERYONE for listening to another proverbial labor of luv! See you soon!
	🥁 1:59pm PT: Thank YOU, Doug!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob! Thanks Pete!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Part Two here maybe makes a stronger case for the strength & diversity of Musics preBeatles ? I still might want more Surf & Garage (well maybe it was still Frat this early...) - just to underscore the Rawk ? Well ...that's maybe Rex's full-time purview ? :D But grateful & appreciative of your expertise in these areas !... 'Soldier of Love' makes me think of TheBeatles covering it (on BBC sessions of course) - & how TheBeatles related to all this sort of material themselves, in fact. Has seemed to me almost like famous people's roots in the early 1960s Folk Movement have been intentionally obscured ...or there's simply no interest... ~ TY Always DJs BB & PT ~

	🥁 11:08am chresti: Morning Bob and braineniacs!
	11:08am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:08am spodiodi: gm, chresti!\\//
	11:09am dan: It's a shame that you don't have top 10 instrumental songs on the charts, it's a bigger shame that you don't have music on the charts period.
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: Hey Bob!
	🥁 11:10am chresti: morning spodi!\\//
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:10am Asheville Jon: howdy Bob! and everyone else!
	11:10am TDK60: Till now, I never heard the original of 'Out of Limits,' know it from a Ventures cover.
	11:10am dan: Nut Rocker, later covered by Emerson Lake and Palmer
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: Your collection of 45's looks just like mine!

	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodiodi!
	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hey Franco Twinkie!
	11:12am spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	🥁 11:13am PT: Obligatory gearhead comment: sounds like Lonnie's rocking a Magnatone amp here.
	11:13am Franco Twinkie: Andrew, I just spilled my coffee all over the floor!
	11:17am TDK60: P.T. - Mack was rockin' the tremolo effect, right? That was all? There were no floor pedals yet, right?
	11:18am dan: Someone needs to do a documentary about one hit wonders that vanished as soon as they came on the scene. I'd like to know whatever happened to performers like Marcie Blane
	🥁 11:21am PT: TDK60: Right you are, the Magnatone had a built-in tremolo unit. It sounds more Leslie-like than Fender's tremolo. Robert Ward of the Falcons etc also used one, as did Steve Ferguson of NRBQ.
	🥁 11:21am (Mr) Bill: Mornin’, Bob, Pete, and all pre-Beatle-ite Brainiackackackacks.
	🥁 11:22am hopewithfeathers: Howdy Bob and fellow Brainiacs. I’m listening live for the first time in awhile. It’s good to be back!
	11:22am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	11:22am TDK60: P.T. Thanks. Yes, I noticed a different sound and wondered if it was additional or in the tremolo effect itself.
	11:22am Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers!
	11:26am spodiodi: howdy, (Mr) Bill, hopewithfeathers!
	11:27am gene sculatti: Am late to the show. Sounds great.
	11:27am Dean: Any chance we'll hear Big Jay McNeely? I recently wrote a poem about him.
	🥁 11:28am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & all!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:29am dan: Heat Wave had equally good covers by Linda Ronstadt, The Who and Lulu
	🥁 11:30am PT: dan: The Who's cover is killer! You can just imagine masses of mods on the dance floor.
	🥁 11:30am hopewithfeathers: Hiya spodiodi, happy Saturday!
	🥁 11:32am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:34am dan: Music these days are decided by algorithms
	11:44am Joe: Morning all. Love the show With regard to Danny Kirwans group Boilerhouse (pre F Mac) the groups five acetates are available on “Something Inside of Me – Unreleased Masters & Demos from the British Blues years 1963 – 1976” (Wienerworld Records 2021) Thank you
	11:44am Franco Twinkie: Kim Fowley. Yes he was a monster, but he was also great. The paradox of life.
	11:45am Frank Zaatar: Emerson Lake and Palmer's cover of Nutrocker was the highlight of Pictures at an Exhibition.
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Joe! Thanks for info!
	🥁 11:46am PT: Joe: I've known about the Boilerhouse for awhile, but that CD set is a bit pricey for my blood. Do you have it? How is it?
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	11:47am Frank Zaatar: Hi, Bob, glad to be here. So is Let's Dance the first Tex-Mex Farfisa-based single to break?
	11:47am Joe: Bob's show got a mention on 7secondDelays show of the 31st, in particular the shows theme (Levine's Image According to the liner notes on the Brainen Cats and Dogs CD it was originally a theme on WMCA!! Great stuff - the A side (pt 1) gets the nod over the B side match!
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: This song makes me think of Animal House.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Joe!
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: Let's dance I mean.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	11:49am Joe: Had the sheet music for Stephen Bishops Animal House which is immeasurably sad
	11:49am Franco Twinkie: Chris Montez was a Chicano surfer. Very rare in the early sixties. All those blondies didn't want beaners at their beach. Sad but true.
	🥁 11:49am PT: Franco Twinkie: Kim F is a prime example (and one of many) of the eternal "can we separate the artist from the art?" conundrum.
	11:50am Joe: Bob! Happy birthday man! (Mine actyally
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Well, Happy Birthday Joe!
	11:52am Joe: No idea PT. Assume it's better than Flee (Jeremy Spencer). (Actually Jeremy has cut several blues CDs over the last decade. Mick's blues band does the odd Peter Green tribute. I assume they're in open G (Madison blues, Etc
	11:52am Eugene Bentley: I have Joel Whitburns Top Pop Singles 1955-1990.
	11:53am Frank Zaatar: So Cal-Mex? I'm wondering about that organ-based sound that goes on to Sir Douglas (Tex-Mex) and ? (Mich-Mex).
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: What can you say PT? Do guys behave differently now - probably. Today those kind of stunts can wreck a career in a hot minute.
	11:53am Joe: A day or 2 late. Morning all!
	11:53am dan: Beatles must’ve lifted the riff of This Boy from Sleep Walk
	11:54am Eugene Bentley: My favorite of the early instrumentals.
	11:55am Joe: Reading thru these comments is rather like looking through the cd liner notes on Feeding Frenzy or something: the Dick Clark Five: "knew the value of a well placed diminished chord". Oye Isabel!!
	11:55am Eugene Bentley: There is a comparison to this.boy and sleepwalk. It was also inspiration for Fleetwood Mac Albatros.
	11:56am dan: @Joe Jeremy Spencer can never tour the US again. A human rights group protested his visit because of his alleged involvement in nefarious crimes against children through his affiliation with The Children Of God cult. They petitioned to all the venues and each of them canceled his appearances
	11:57am Joe: I can hear that. Kinda. Albatross was still an original. Bet it's still tabbed in issues of Total Guitar (where I learned it
	11:57am Joe: I know Dan
	11:58am watchpocket: Oh yeah! I have been transported back, listening to Dick Biondi on a leather-bound transistor, in my tent, up on rattlesnake point!
	11:58am Eugene Bentley: Fleetwood Mac's first million seller.
	🥁 11:58am Gina Bacon: I confess that I had the Donny Osmond 45 of this when I was little.
	11:59am Bob Brainen: watchpocket!
	11:59am Joe: Just learned my favorite writer (David Eddings) growing up was guilty of child abuse. Never sure how to take these things onboard. Yeah. The Children of God are nasty by all acvount
	12:01pm Joe: Love Jeremy's playing though..the first successful single of Macs was his Shake Your Moneymaker (in open E?) - in somewhere like Sweden it topped the charts. Madness.
	12:01pm Eugene Bentley: Oh my God. I had Donny's version as well. But if.anyone asks me I'll totally deny it.
	🥁 12:02pm listener james from westwood: Aw, this Vince always makes me smile. (Spoiler, true of just about all Vince.)
	🥁 12:02pm duke: Got here late, but really enjoying this stuff. Wonderful history lesson.
	12:02pm Joe: That's frightening. One bad apple
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: duke!
	12:03pm James Douglas: OK, so which NYC DJ used Cast Your Fate to the Wind as bumper/theme music back in the day? Was either on WNEW or WPLJ, can't remember!
	12:03pm Eugene Bentley: My first 45 I purchased was double lovin'.
	12:03pm Wendy S: Morning all! ❤️ing the show!
	12:04pm CalZone!: BB & PT! Really digging the show thus far! Radio perfection!
	12:04pm Joe: Eugene: This Boy WAS an instrumental on the Hard Days lp! American issue?)
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: James Douglas! I do not know, but great choice.
	🥁 12:05pm PT: Joe: Called Ringo's Theme, right?
	12:05pm Eugene Bentley: It sure was. The brits didn't know anything about it.
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: Wendy S!
	🥁 12:06pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas: It was WNEW-FM. The DJ’s name escapes me at the moment.
	12:07pm dan: Ironically, this Gene Pitney song was a bigger hit in the UK
	12:08pm Eugene Bentley: Gene Putney Billy Joe royal knockoff
	🥁 12:08pm (Mr) Bill: Tommy Roe channels Buddy Holly.
	12:09pm Eugene Bentley: Putney. Damn autocorrect.
	12:09pm Franco Twinkie: Down in the Boondocks refitted with a different narrative.
	12:10pm Eugene Bentley: Pitney. Autocorrect strikes again.
	🥁 12:11pm wmfromD: Nice to hear some Upchurch from this period. Killer stuff.
	12:11pm Frank Zaatar: Buddy Holly seems to have spawned a generation of glottal-stop singers in the early 60s (e.g. Tommy Roe and Gene Pitney).
	12:14pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill - I thought so. Was it Dennis Elsas??
	🥁 12:15pm (Mr) Bill: Damn—mistook “Wild Weekend” for “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Back to school....
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas—Might have been Dennis Elsas. We could ring WFUV to ask. Something intangible in my mind is telling me it was someone else.
	🥁 12:18pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:18pm Eugene Bentley: I love the Cameo Parkway box set.
	12:19pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill: I just found a 1978 recording of Dennis handing off to Alison Steele, and sure enough, it was his closing theme. www.mixcloud.com...
	12:22pm Eugene Bentley: It is goffin king.
	12:22pm James Douglas: @(Mr) Bill: I gotta listen to that whole clip, 44:30 of my long forgotten past.
	12:28pm gene sculatti: Right-on, long overdue, praise for Fats Domino, you guys!
	12:34pm Eugene Bentley: Another Animal House memory.
	12:34pm Franco Twinkie: My mom use to whistle this while she was doing house work.
	12:34pm dan: Jasper from The Simpsons: “The Theme From A Summer Place, It’s the Theme From A Summer Place”
	12:37pm Bri: GREAT MAUIC TO SWIM TO’
	12:37pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bri!
	12:39pm Bri: Hey Franco!
	🥁 12:41pm (Mr) Bill: @James Douglas—Great find. Thanks. Can’t wait to hear the Nightbird’s voice again.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Bri!
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & Pete and all
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Coel. This one is a doozy!
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: good morning Franco!
	12:44pm Frank Zaatar: I don't want to tell you how old I was before I learned that Walk Right In was a brothel song.
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	🥁 12:45pm PT: @Frank Zaatar: It is?
	12:46pm Wendy S: Take Five’s absolutely timeless.
	12:46pm dan: I’d love to see a brand new jazz song enter the main Billboard charts in 2022.
	🥁 12:46pm Mxter Baba: Take Five is so intensely nostalgic for me. Hi, Bob and folx!
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Baba!
	12:47pm Bob Brainen: Mxter Baba!
	🥁 12:47pm Mxter Baba: heyyy Pranko!!
	12:48pm Eugene Bentley: Take 5 reminds of the different jazz records my dad used to bring home.
	12:48pm Bri: Hey Bob! Hey Baba!
	12:50pm doctorjazz: Been here since the beginning,great car company,thanks (gotta run now).
	12:51pm dan: Are you going to play Walk On By or The Auctioneer by Leroy Van Dyke?
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Why is this song so poignant?
	🥁 12:52pm Mxter Baba: Bri! Great to see you!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: the original walk right in might've been about a brothel. there're only 2-3 lines but they're hard to understand...but definitely something about coming inside, being satisfied, but not being allowed to linger. i don't know what else that could mean!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: i never listened to the rooftop singers version
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: hi Baba! hi Bri!
	12:55pm Frank Zaatar: @Bob and Coel: Here's a line from the original Gus Cannon: "Walk right in, stay a little while /But daddy, you can't stay too long." I think there was also a line about a "Two-way woman".
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: oh, Gus Cannon. Thanks, i was thinking Bill Broonzy
	12:59pm Bri: Hey Coel!
	1:00pm Bri: Always great to see you too Baba!
	1:00pm Dean: This set is a fair sample of my parents' collection. I recall spinning many of these c.'64.
	🥁 1:00pm Mxter Baba: greetings, coelacanth∅!
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: Shimmy Shimmy Shi-Yi Yippiddis!!
	1:03pm Joe: PT oh sure. Strongly tempted to get the box/book just for the Kirwan Trax. Mojo's obituary of the man was rather sad: the man wrote the best songs on Future Games .. he seems to have kept in touch with Jeremy. But as Martin Celminns noted in his bio of Peter Green, DANNYs was the true tragic story in Fleetwood Mac. It's like Mercutios death in Romeo&Juliet
	🥁 1:03pm Mxter Baba: OK, I'm convinced. Bring on The Beatles!
	1:03pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everybody!
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: (or something)
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: Stuffed grape leaves and an iced shumba please.
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Jan Turkenburg!
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Jan!
	1:04pm Joe: Beatles? Who are this Beatles (oh! They opened for Montes!
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: hi Jan!
	🥁 1:04pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:04pm Bri: Hey Jan!
	1:05pm Joe: MarciaMarciaMarcia..JAN!
	1:05pm watchpocket: The Tammys hailed from Oil City (NorthWest) PA, 8 miles up the road from my stomping grounds, Franklin. We went to Friday-night YWCA dances in OC, where the Tammys would be dancing and singing at the top of their lungs with their sweet but Tough voices whenever a Lou Christy song came on. They were Lou's first female back singers.
	1:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Will!
	🥁 1:05pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Coelacanth!
	1:06pm watchpocket: Also Tammys: total beehive hair-dos.
	1:07pm Joe: Montez I mean. Yes there wasmusic before the Beatles..most of it is on the Not Fade Away box!!
	1:07pm Joe: Buddy box. Love Buddy
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: Joe i agree about Danny being the biggest mac tragedy to be honest i always wondered why Peter didn't kick spencer out after 1 album. he sucked. his music sucked, his shtick sucked, he ultimately wouldn't even play on the other's songs, and he was a dick. he brought nothing to fleetwood mac.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: the Peter story's tragic for us, but he made his own choices.
	1:12pm Joe: Jeremy was a good live performer
	1:15pm Joe: Peters story was kinda tragic..but he survived. Granted I never listen to the solo stuff. He played with Otis Spann or whoever. Of course his Mac stuff is beyond reproach. But he did ok. He owned his publishing. Wrote Black Magic Woman, I guess that's played endlessly even if the average punter think it's by Santana. Definitely buying Celmins revised bio of Peter this month
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Hey, Jody Reynolds also wrote Tight Capris. Shows he knew something about sports wear.
	1:16pm Pax: Bob B /Pete T, How do you two do. I was just thinking of how a lot of the later generations piss moan and groan about how they're sick of The Beatles. It's just because they don't realize how they significantly changed the sound of popular music for ever from the early mid sixty's until now. It was a major historic flashpoint in music history separating how music sounded before as is the theme of your show is doing now. Not to mention the Mondo countless influences they've had on so many other recording artists from that time on up. But on the other hand you can't hardly blame them because like us and anyone from all generations it's in the nature of the human mind that the majority of life's influences of what's is going on during that time of development is imprinted in the brain of our youthfulness is where we all generally live.
	1:17pm Joe: Don't see it as tragic, Peter greenbaums story. Kirwan was in a hostel and a boozer by all account. He was writing as good songs as Peter (Dragonfly, which peter LOVED .. Sunny side of heaven..Earl Grey...World in harmony..Coming your way..
	🥁 1:17pm PT: @Joe: Both Mr. Brainen and I are gigantic Danny K fans! Subject of a future show perhaps? And @coelacanthø: I saw FM Summer 1970 (first tour post-Green) and Jeremy KILLED IT with his Elvis etc. I agree that his endless Elmore James pastiches were not early Fleetwood Mac album highlights, but live he more than pulled his weight.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Pax! Good point.
	1:19pm Franco Twinkie: Pax, it's just kids shitting on their grandparents. Nothing new.
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: yes that's true, Jeremy was apparently a ham on stage. that's significant. but his contributions in the studio were expendable
	1:20pm Joe: Can you buy me the Something Inside of Me box? Do you need the Future Games reissue cd? Has a few bonus Trac: Stoned, Show me a smile. A Kirwin shows a good thought ..Rambam city off Second Chapter!
	1:20pm Dean: R&TR '63 I expect you mean?
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: oh i should read that Peter Green bio
	1:21pm Late Bloomer: This songs popped up on tv radar for me recently whit sonic boom and one of the avy tar? Panda bear guys.
	1:22pm Joe: PT unfortunately Jeremy's playing ruins the early Mac albums pre Then Play On, when they just did a Jeremy solo album with him instead: String along, etc
	1:22pm Bob Brainen: Late Bloomer!
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Pax, of course. a lot of people are ignorant to the evolution of things.
	1:23pm Late Bloomer: I may have to change my wfmu message board name to the mushed mouth talk texted
	1:23pm Joe: Something inside if Me is so pricy on Amazon, just got the new Love book (Keep on shining) and Pink Floyd book (BBC: 1967-1971
	1:27pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Younger people just want to get a rise out of oldsters - Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones. You know the fire drill.
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: Pete to be honest i can't stand that elvis bit! ...i made a fleetwood mac playlist on spotify a few years ago -174 songs, just a few jeremy songs. no oldies reviews, but a couple Elmore tributes. expendable material! - but wouldn't it be boring if we agreed about everything?!
	1:30pm Eugene Bentley: Another goffin king Great done with early soul ahead of its time.
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: Franco it's true. but also people have prejudice and people have selfish or fear-related motives that have nothing to do with the music itself. a lot of people who supposedly hate the beatles have never actually listened to it.
	1:32pm Wendy S: Saw the Brian Wilson Long Promised Road documentary recently. Great watch but left me feeling a bit emotional/sad about his life.
	1:32pm dan: Doesn’t get better than The Four Seasons
	1:33pm Late Bloomer: Love it when you two get together, great topic too. 👍👍
	1:33pm Joe: Not much out there on Kirwin, doubt his 3 solo albums are out on cd. He must have kicked it as a live performer with Mac (when he wasn't smashing his guitar). Someone here in NJ just published A Love That Burns on Peter Greens music with Mac (in 3 huge volumes to read) but aside from the Fleetwood Mac Family Album cd (which had the odd Kirwan track..there's not much!! Dragonfly is on the Kiln House reissue (Mac 69-74 box)
	1:33pm dan: @Joe I got a rock biography for you, Patrick Humphries biography of Nick Drake.
	🥁 1:34pm Mxter Baba: XOXOX Four Seasons!!! XOXOX
	🥁 1:34pm PT: @coelacanthø: On THAT we can agree!
	1:35pm dan: Having listened to a lot of The Seekers lately, I’m less enthusiastic about Peter, Paul and Mary
	🥁 1:35pm PT: It's nice to know that so many of you are as addicted to music bios and docs as I am!
	1:35pm TDK60: Big P,P&M fan here, just sayin.'
	🥁 1:41pm Mxter Baba: Miss Mercy's memoirs are amazing, if not conventionally a music bio
	1:41pm Joe: @Dan There's a new bio due on Nick Drake next year. He seems to have played on UK TV while on your w Fotheringhay (so 1969 then?) Doing Cello Song. Show called Octopus (see the Remembered for a while book). Haven't seen it. Probably didn't survive
	1:42pm dan: @Joe The book I have is from 1997, but it goes into a lot of Nick Drake’s early years, especially his brush with live performances
	1:43pm Joe: @coe Celminns book on Peter was good at the time. Writ back in the late 90s, I probably got it at Midnight Records along with back issues of the Castle. Nowadays..Amazon...
	1:44pm Frank Zaatar: @PT: Another music bio addict here. Somebody here mentioned Elijah Wald's How the Beatles Destroyed Rock and Roll the last installment of this show. One of the points he makes is how the British Invasion re-segregated (dis-integrated?) popular music. It wasn't the Beatles' fault, it was the industry. Wald is pretty much my favorite music writer.
	1:45pm Franco Twinkie: True that Coel. Fortunately all youngsters aren't like that. This happened two weeks ago at the farmers market: I was waking behind a woman who had on an outfit that was a perfect study in 1970's grandma. When I walked passed her I looked at her face and was shocked. I was a very beautiful young woman. I complemented her on outfit. She smiled and blushed. We talked about thrift stores and music. She really liked Pink Floyd! Go figure.
	1:45pm dan: Excellent show
	1:47pm Joe: @dan You know, I've always been surprised no live tapes of Nick Drake's are out there. At all. It's like trying to find Love live at the Whisky from 66-8 when there was a soundboard recording made! Nick DID open at high profile gigs, for Fairport after the crash. He did gig at Cousines or wherever! Can't believe no live tapes are out there! I'm sure there are even JohnMartyn live tapes out there! (Like London conversation is an album you wanna hear again
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: i Love early peter paul & mary. (their music -not the fact that they stole writing credit for countless songs!) i was raised on their 1st and 3rd (in the wind) albums. could sing along with all 24 of those songs by the age of 4...Thanks mom & dad for gathering the family around the living room to sing along with these records
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: Joe @143 Thanks!
	1:52pm Pax: Hey Twinks, Cøe. I've observed that the mind set of the majority of today's youth is oddly indifferent that uses nonsensical logic that dismisses any responsibility and accountability for what they do. While at the same time you must acknowledge them as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: haha Pax that sounds about right! but then (see Franco @145) there are exceptions, fortunately
	1:54pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Bob and Pete! see you all soon!
	1:55pm Wendy S: Thanks for all the work that must have gone into these 2-shows! As someone that can’t remember a time before the Beatles, I learned a lot!
	1:56pm Jeff: Thanks Bob + Pete!
	🥁 1:56pm duke: Thanks Bob and Pete
	🥁 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show Bob & Pete!
	1:57pm Eugene Bentley: Bob Brainen and Pete Tomlinson - the Dynamic Duo. Great show guys.
	1:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bob. This was a truly refreshing show to coincide with the first rain storm of the season.
	1:57pm TDK60: Thanks Bob & Pete. I hope to be back soon..
	🥁 1:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, y'all! Would never say no to a part 3!
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for another great one, Bob and Pete! On to Parts 3, 4, 5 and beyond!
	1:58pm Dean: I would second @Pax's closing sentence if it weren't sarcastic, which is how I read it (maybe mistakenly). I work with youth, i.e., young adults, both graduate students and undergrads. They impress me on a daily basis with their ambition, intelligence, wisdom, and heart. The cohort I see is to some extent self-selecting, and so I recognize they are not a fair sample. They want to learn and excel. But there are a lot like them, and this fact makes me very happy as I grow older.
	1:58pm Asheville Jon: thanks Bob!
	1:58pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Doug!
	🥁 1:59pm PT: Thanks EVERYONE for listening to another proverbial labor of luv! See you soon!
	🥁 1:59pm PT: Thank YOU, Doug!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob! Thanks Pete!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Part Two here maybe makes a stronger case for the strength & diversity of Musics preBeatles ? I still might want more Surf & Garage (well maybe it was still Frat this early...) - just to underscore the Rawk ? Well ...that's maybe Rex's full-time purview ? :D But grateful & appreciative of your expertise in these areas !... 'Soldier of Love' makes me think of TheBeatles covering it (on BBC sessions of course) - & how TheBeatles related to all this sort of material themselves, in fact. Has seemed to me almost like famous people's roots in the early 1960s Folk Movement have been intentionally obscured ...or there's simply no interest... ~ TY Always DJs BB & PT ~
