	11:02am coelacanth∅: Good morning Bob & Pete and all
	11:03am Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton!
	11:03am StringOFperils: Good morning, Bob. Here because I have a tangential relationship with all the angles. Plus...it's too quiet.
	11:03am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya coel!
	11:03am Bob Brainen: WR! You're right.

	11:06am Bob Brainen: Jeff! Not too late.
	11:07am Bob Brainen: Wendy S, very true.
	11:07am Wendy S: I had no idea that We Gotta Get You A Woman wasn’t originally a Todd song.
	11:07am SmokinJ: Hey bb & group! Great Tops track! :-)
	11:09am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ! Tops R Tops.
	11:09am coelacanth∅: oh i see Bob i guess i'll settle for just you then! (jest kidding) yes i was hasty when i saw a Peter Green/Danny Kirwan show -my favorite mac eras
	11:10am SmokinJ: Dig it!
	11:10am Wendy S: Whoops - I see that Todd’s version is 1970…
	11:11am StringOFperils: I was just gonna....RUNT....71...you know
	11:11am Andrew in Toronto: @Wnendy S Thanks for saying that.
	11:11am spodiodi: Good morning, Bob and all ✌️🌞
	11:11am StringOFperils: '70....whatevahh
	11:11am Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	🥁 11:12am wmfromD: Some of those Tops and Temps albums from the early 70's are overlooked.
	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodi!
	11:13am spodiodi: Hi Andrew!
	11:17am coelacanth∅: the 'tops album "still waters run deep" (1970) -not an overlooked album, but has some generally overlooked non-hit songs that are some of 4 tops' very best, in my opinion
	11:17am coelacanth∅: Greetings spodiod!
	11:19am coelacanth∅: ...StringO, Andrew, all y'all
	🥁 11:19am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Hey chresti!
	🥁 11:21am wmfromD: Love "Still Waters". I really dig the Temps "Masterpiece".
	11:24am spodiodi: Aloha, coelacanthø! Hi chresti!\\//
	11:24am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya cresti!
	11:25am coelacanth∅: Yes! ...that run of 4 albums - sky's the limit > masterpiece (actually never heard all of solid rock but what i've heard is ...solid!)
	11:25am Wendy S: Here’s one for you all; songs/albums that you’re embarrassed to admit that you kinda of love 🤫 For me: Round Here - Counting Crows, John Mayer’s Room for Squares album (every last drop) - though I do have to say, as time’s gone on I’m impressed by how good of a blues guitarist he is (and would freely say so 😂).
	11:27am dan: @Wendy S John Mayer is a horrible singer but a great guitarist
	11:27am pp: Irene Cara RIP too young relatively speaking; ripped off by record label RSO. A few parallels to Laura Nyro's career
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Wendy, like guilty pleasures? I'd have to think...
	11:28am Bob Brainen: pp! Yeah I saw that. A shame.
	11:28am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob! Sounding good.
	11:29am coelacanth∅: that first counting crows album is very good
	11:29am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti! thanks.
	🥁 11:30am chresti: Hi spodi!\\// hIya Andrew in TO!
	11:31am Andrew in Toronto: This sounds so fresh!
	11:31am StringOFperils: "Strange how potent cheap music is."___Noel Coward
	11:31am Wendy S: @Dan - I have no idea why I love that album..from what I’ve read, he sounds like he’s got some personality issues too. Years back, Dave Chappelle had him on his show and it was pretty great.
	🥁 11:32am chresti: Hey, we're not stupid, Todd.
	11:32am coelacanth∅: i've never felt ashamed of Loving "uncool" music. - there are lots of 'em! - but at the same time i'm pretty harsh about some of the music i can't stand! (even if i once liked it)
	11:34am pp: Many people contemplating the lyrics "I'm gonna live forever" this morning
	🥁 11:34am wmfromD: Many things that I once would've considered guilty pleasures. As time goes on I don't feel guilt. I just like.
	11:34am coelacanth∅: 18 years old was adult back then
	11:35am french yak: @chresti:"they may be stupid" refers to "dreams about that special one", not the special ones themselves!
	🥁 11:37am chresti: @french yak, I heard "they might be stupid, but they sure are fun".
	11:39am StringOFperils: Kim Sorise played this while subbing for Uncle Michael yesterday, and NO this is not a complaint in any way nor will it ever be
	11:39am Bob Brainen: french yak! Yeah I take that to be what Todd meant too. chresti, the dreams are both stupid and fun?
	11:39am lou in CHI: Morning bob and all. Had a feeling you were saving this sandy tune for the right time of year.
	11:40am french yak: That line caused Todd some trouble till he explained it....
	11:40am coelacanth∅: i too seldom have stupid dreams from which i wake up and laugh
	11:41am pp: @FrenchY the ambiguity of lyrics .. even ambiguous whether it was intentional or not
	🥁 11:41am chresti: Bob & french yak, I missed the dreams reference.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: lou in CHi!
	🥁 11:42am chresti: *but hey, it was 1970 after all..
	11:43am french yak: @chresti - Very easy to misinterpret! I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking "did he say that?!"
	11:43am StringOFperils: Hey, that's nothin', check out the lyrics to SLUT on Something/Anything....they're just dumb pop experiments, and damn good ones
	🥁 11:45am wmfromD: Wow! I'm teased.
	11:50am dan: The Rorem sounds like something Keith Emerson would’ve used in his music
	11:51am Wendy S: Field Music - cool!
	11:51am StringOFperils: It's in 8/8
	11:53am doctorjazz: Hi Bob and y'all!
	11:54am Andrew in Toronto: Hey doc!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:56am Dean: That figures. I missed the Rorem. Was dispensing a Covid test to my wife.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:56am dan: The immense talent of the Wrecking Crew
	11:58am Dean: Anybody know who played trumpet for Burt? Must have been the same person during these years.
	12:00pm dan: @Dean All I can find is that the drummer is Gary Chester
	🥁 12:02pm wmfromD: Did Bacharach use the Wrecking Crew cats? I though a lot of this stuff was cut in N.Y.
	12:03pm pp: genius of Hal David lyrics was to inhabit a woman's perspective --"before I put on my makeup"
	12:03pm coelacanth∅: StringO s.l.u.t. is one of my favorite rundgren songs! ...i wrote a song when i was a teenager, something about that i'd be a virgin forever if it weren't for the easy ones! (and for the record have never used the term "slut" in a derogatory manner, and have tried to shame people who did)
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, I'd think both coasts, but Gary Chester was NY based. Played on a lot of Four Seasons records, often used mallets, tons of diff. sessions.
	12:04pm Dean: Thanks, dan. Interesting. The trumpet was a signature instrument for Burt. Nothing virtuosic, but a distinctive tone.
	12:06pm doctorjazz: Dean, how'd the rest turn out? Hi Andrew!
	🥁 12:07pm wmfromD: Bob. Yeah, that makes sense.
	12:07pm doctorjazz: * how'd the test turn out?...
	12:10pm Dean: Awaiting the result... Another fifteen minutes or so.
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Byrd, when he was a straight-ahead jazzbo! Really like his early stuff. There's a great Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Mosiaic box.
	12:21pm Doug Schulkind: So many thrilling takes on this Bud Powell gem. As if the composition itself induces works of genius.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind! The version w/your main man Yusef Lateef is coming on a future show. I've yet to hear a version of it I didn't like.
	12:26pm Doug Schulkind: Yep. The Yusef version is a site-specific installation transporting you right there. Speaking of which, I leave for Paris one week from today.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: A tour of thoroughfares?
	12:28pm Jeff: Hey, this Whitney McClain track is nice! Bob, thanks for always having your ears open to new stuff.
	12:29pm pp: Rihanna sound-alike?
	12:29pm Sem: That Whitney McClain was something else. Thanks, Bob.
	12:30pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya Sem!
	12:30pm Sem: Greets, Andrew in TO!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Sem!
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Love this Cowell!
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: Saw the new Judee Sill doc. Mostly excellent.
	12:42pm Jeff: https://www.docnyc.net/film/lost-angel-the-genius-of-judee-sill/
	12:43pm Wendy S: Doug - did you see it in a theater or streaming?
	12:44pm Santos L. Halper: Thanks for the Judee Bob (and Doug last week). Anyone know if the doc will be on DVD or streaming elsewhere after tomorrow?
	12:46pm doctorjazz: Also interested in that doc...
	12:46pm pp: Jay Farrar and Son Volt should cover Truck Stop Girl.
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: Doug, I want to see it but a problem I have with a lot of docs & biopics is that they cover the sordid stuff but fail to include much of the positive aspects or capture the stuff that brings us joy.
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: Santos L. Halper!
	12:47pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! Checking in just as Stoneground came on. Incidentally, I got exposed to on an old Hammer Dracula movie - Dracula 1972 ad.
	12:48pm Wendy S: @pp: I agree! On that note, Son Volt played SF a few months back and I wasn’t able to go. I was SO disappointed!
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley! I think I saw that movie.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: I've seem Wilco many times, haven't seen Son Volt...one of these days...
	🥁 12:56pm wmfromD: Fifth Dimension preferable in Mono. IMHO
	12:56pm doctorjazz: Will be seeing Zorn's New Masada Quartet tomorrow, and The Weber/Morris Big Band Tuesday, looking forward to them!
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: @Wendy S I streamed it. Using the same link the Jeff posted in his comment above. @Bob B I felt that the doc did an solid job presenting Judee's musical genius. Hard to avoid the sordid stuff, of course, but it well captured her outsize talent. My problem with it is similar to how I felt about the Karen Dalton documentary. I'm really tired of seeing all these old men wax poetic now about remarkable and talented women with whom, back then, they really just wanted to get in their pants. They just seem like a pack of old vultures. (I realize I'm being a little unfair, but that's the feeling I get from it.) At least the Judee Sill film had some excellent contributions from Linda Rondstadt throughout. It would have balanced things more with the guys if she had been on camera, but we were only able to hear audio of her.
	12:57pm Eugene Bentley: Yeah. It was an attempt to update the Hammer Dracula franchise.
	12:58pm doctorjazz: Bechet is one of those musicians you can recognize in 1-2 notes.
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: Doug, I hear you. They weren't able to license any of the performance footage? Too bad. There's stuff on Youtube, or there was.
	12:59pm dan: Woody Allen named one of his two adopted daughters with Soon-Yi Bechet after the musician
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: @Bob B Pretty much everything you can access on YouTube is in the film. In terms of performance footage, there wasn't much more than that.
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: Doc, and they're always the right 2 notes!
	1:02pm mauri: howdydoody
	1:02pm Bob Brainen: mauri!
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	1:05pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	1:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Franco!
	1:14pm dan: Is that Gordon Haskell singing this Crimson song?
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: I don't think Judi Sills budding career as a young criminal should be glossed over. Did she kill anyone? No. Lot's of artists have a past that doesn't include the normal scuffling for gigs. She's one in a million. Celebrate her sordid past.
	1:20pm Bob Brainen: Franco, agree, but they shouldn't wallow in it. For me too many docs & flicks do and there's no balance and no sense of the joys.
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: dan, yes it is.
	🥁 1:22pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: Fair enough Bob, I haven't seen it. But her shenanigans can't be denied.
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: Will thee Sound Guy! 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:36pm Franco Twinkie: The promise the original sessions for FiveD by The Byrds produced by Dave Hassinger at RCA studio B could have been even wilder. Dave engineered Blast Off by The Astronauts in the same studio - by any measure the DNA of psych. Love, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead. He understood.
	1:38pm Dean: Sure would love to see photos of that Kansas City Bar.
	1:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Another great show! Thanks Bob!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: Will be driving, thanks Bob!
	1:43pm dan: Bob, a perfect addition to your show is the band Crowded House. They go well with XTC
	🥁 1:44pm Will thee Sound Guy: busy doing things, getting ready to go back out... hope all is well with everyone!!!
	1:44pm Wendy S: @dan: I’ve had that same thought.
	🥁 1:46pm Will thee Sound Guy: been enjoying the show, Thank you Bob!!!
	1:48pm french yak: @ Franco - Hassinger understood psych, but the Dead's lunacy and experimentation drove him out of the studio babbling to himself during the recording of Anthem Of The Sun.
	1:50pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: PaulRobeson1922!
	1:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Bob Brainen! : )
	1:52pm Wendy S: Now I know what toy I want for the holiday!
	1:53pm Franco Twinkie: True that, French yak! After Anthem of the Sun, Dave insisted on more reasonable artists to work with. Who could blame him.
	1:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanky Bob. Excellent post Thanksgiving fare.
	1:57pm Wendy S: Thanks for a good time Bob!
	1:57pm spodiodi: loved the show, thanks Bob!
	1:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Bob. We owe you big time.
	🥁 1:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸 📻🔥👍
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:58pm french yak: Merci beaucoup, monsieur Bob!
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1922: You know Franco, was it Leary? Who said if you are not frightened out of your wits once in a while you’re being ripped off by yer dealer
	2:10pm WR: Thank you, Bob.

	11:05am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils!
	11:05am Bob Brainen: Yes!
	11:05am Jeff: I’m late! Good morning Bob + fellow listeners!
	11:05am Wendy S: I’m realizing I should have said Indigenous Peoples Day.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Jeff! Not too late.
	11:07am Bob Brainen: Wendy S, very true.
	11:07am Wendy S: I had no idea that We Gotta Get You A Woman wasn’t originally a Todd song.
	11:07am SmokinJ: Hey bb & group! Great Tops track! :-)
	11:09am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ! Tops R Tops.
	11:09am coelacanth∅: oh i see Bob i guess i'll settle for just you then! (jest kidding) yes i was hasty when i saw a Peter Green/Danny Kirwan show -my favorite mac eras
	11:10am SmokinJ: Dig it!
	11:10am Wendy S: Whoops - I see that Todd’s version is 1970…
	11:11am StringOFperils: I was just gonna....RUNT....71...you know
	11:11am Andrew in Toronto: @Wnendy S Thanks for saying that.
	11:11am spodiodi: Good morning, Bob and all ✌️🌞
	11:11am StringOFperils: '70....whatevahh
	11:11am Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	🥁 11:12am wmfromD: Some of those Tops and Temps albums from the early 70's are overlooked.
	11:12am Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodi!
	11:13am spodiodi: Hi Andrew!
	11:17am coelacanth∅: the 'tops album "still waters run deep" (1970) -not an overlooked album, but has some generally overlooked non-hit songs that are some of 4 tops' very best, in my opinion
	11:17am coelacanth∅: Greetings spodiod!
	11:19am coelacanth∅: ...StringO, Andrew, all y'all
	🥁 11:19am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Hey chresti!
	🥁 11:21am wmfromD: Love "Still Waters". I really dig the Temps "Masterpiece".
	11:24am spodiodi: Aloha, coelacanthø! Hi chresti!\\//
	11:24am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya cresti!
	11:25am coelacanth∅: Yes! ...that run of 4 albums - sky's the limit > masterpiece (actually never heard all of solid rock but what i've heard is ...solid!)
	11:25am Wendy S: Here’s one for you all; songs/albums that you’re embarrassed to admit that you kinda of love 🤫 For me: Round Here - Counting Crows, John Mayer’s Room for Squares album (every last drop) - though I do have to say, as time’s gone on I’m impressed by how good of a blues guitarist he is (and would freely say so 😂).
	11:27am dan: @Wendy S John Mayer is a horrible singer but a great guitarist
	11:27am pp: Irene Cara RIP too young relatively speaking; ripped off by record label RSO. A few parallels to Laura Nyro's career
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Wendy, like guilty pleasures? I'd have to think...
	11:28am Bob Brainen: pp! Yeah I saw that. A shame.
	11:28am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob! Sounding good.
	11:29am coelacanth∅: that first counting crows album is very good
	11:29am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti! thanks.
	🥁 11:30am chresti: Hi spodi!\\// hIya Andrew in TO!
	11:31am Andrew in Toronto: This sounds so fresh!
	11:31am StringOFperils: "Strange how potent cheap music is."___Noel Coward
	11:31am Wendy S: @Dan - I have no idea why I love that album..from what I’ve read, he sounds like he’s got some personality issues too. Years back, Dave Chappelle had him on his show and it was pretty great.
	🥁 11:32am chresti: Hey, we're not stupid, Todd.
	11:32am coelacanth∅: i've never felt ashamed of Loving "uncool" music. - there are lots of 'em! - but at the same time i'm pretty harsh about some of the music i can't stand! (even if i once liked it)
	11:34am pp: Many people contemplating the lyrics "I'm gonna live forever" this morning
	🥁 11:34am wmfromD: Many things that I once would've considered guilty pleasures. As time goes on I don't feel guilt. I just like.
	11:34am coelacanth∅: 18 years old was adult back then
	11:35am french yak: @chresti:"they may be stupid" refers to "dreams about that special one", not the special ones themselves!
	🥁 11:37am chresti: @french yak, I heard "they might be stupid, but they sure are fun".
	11:39am StringOFperils: Kim Sorise played this while subbing for Uncle Michael yesterday, and NO this is not a complaint in any way nor will it ever be
	11:39am Bob Brainen: french yak! Yeah I take that to be what Todd meant too. chresti, the dreams are both stupid and fun?
	11:39am lou in CHI: Morning bob and all. Had a feeling you were saving this sandy tune for the right time of year.
	11:40am french yak: That line caused Todd some trouble till he explained it....
	11:40am coelacanth∅: i too seldom have stupid dreams from which i wake up and laugh
	11:41am pp: @FrenchY the ambiguity of lyrics .. even ambiguous whether it was intentional or not
	🥁 11:41am chresti: Bob & french yak, I missed the dreams reference.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: lou in CHi!
	🥁 11:42am chresti: *but hey, it was 1970 after all..
	11:43am french yak: @chresti - Very easy to misinterpret! I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking "did he say that?!"
	11:43am StringOFperils: Hey, that's nothin', check out the lyrics to SLUT on Something/Anything....they're just dumb pop experiments, and damn good ones
	🥁 11:45am wmfromD: Wow! I'm teased.
	11:50am dan: The Rorem sounds like something Keith Emerson would’ve used in his music
	11:51am Wendy S: Field Music - cool!
	11:51am StringOFperils: It's in 8/8
	11:53am doctorjazz: Hi Bob and y'all!
	11:54am Andrew in Toronto: Hey doc!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:56am Dean: That figures. I missed the Rorem. Was dispensing a Covid test to my wife.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:56am dan: The immense talent of the Wrecking Crew
	11:58am Dean: Anybody know who played trumpet for Burt? Must have been the same person during these years.
	12:00pm dan: @Dean All I can find is that the drummer is Gary Chester
	🥁 12:02pm wmfromD: Did Bacharach use the Wrecking Crew cats? I though a lot of this stuff was cut in N.Y.
	12:03pm pp: genius of Hal David lyrics was to inhabit a woman's perspective --"before I put on my makeup"
	12:03pm coelacanth∅: StringO s.l.u.t. is one of my favorite rundgren songs! ...i wrote a song when i was a teenager, something about that i'd be a virgin forever if it weren't for the easy ones! (and for the record have never used the term "slut" in a derogatory manner, and have tried to shame people who did)
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, I'd think both coasts, but Gary Chester was NY based. Played on a lot of Four Seasons records, often used mallets, tons of diff. sessions.
	12:04pm Dean: Thanks, dan. Interesting. The trumpet was a signature instrument for Burt. Nothing virtuosic, but a distinctive tone.
	12:06pm doctorjazz: Dean, how'd the rest turn out? Hi Andrew!
	🥁 12:07pm wmfromD: Bob. Yeah, that makes sense.
	12:07pm doctorjazz: * how'd the test turn out?...
	12:10pm Dean: Awaiting the result... Another fifteen minutes or so.
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Byrd, when he was a straight-ahead jazzbo! Really like his early stuff. There's a great Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Mosiaic box.
	12:21pm Doug Schulkind: So many thrilling takes on this Bud Powell gem. As if the composition itself induces works of genius.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind! The version w/your main man Yusef Lateef is coming on a future show. I've yet to hear a version of it I didn't like.
	12:26pm Doug Schulkind: Yep. The Yusef version is a site-specific installation transporting you right there. Speaking of which, I leave for Paris one week from today.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: A tour of thoroughfares?
	12:28pm Jeff: Hey, this Whitney McClain track is nice! Bob, thanks for always having your ears open to new stuff.
	12:29pm pp: Rihanna sound-alike?
	12:29pm Sem: That Whitney McClain was something else. Thanks, Bob.
	12:30pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya Sem!
	12:30pm Sem: Greets, Andrew in TO!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Sem!
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Love this Cowell!
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: Saw the new Judee Sill doc. Mostly excellent.
	12:42pm Jeff: https://www.docnyc.net/film/lost-angel-the-genius-of-judee-sill/
	12:43pm Wendy S: Doug - did you see it in a theater or streaming?
	12:44pm Santos L. Halper: Thanks for the Judee Bob (and Doug last week). Anyone know if the doc will be on DVD or streaming elsewhere after tomorrow?
	12:46pm doctorjazz: Also interested in that doc...
	12:46pm pp: Jay Farrar and Son Volt should cover Truck Stop Girl.
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: Doug, I want to see it but a problem I have with a lot of docs & biopics is that they cover the sordid stuff but fail to include much of the positive aspects or capture the stuff that brings us joy.
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: Santos L. Halper!
	12:47pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! Checking in just as Stoneground came on. Incidentally, I got exposed to on an old Hammer Dracula movie - Dracula 1972 ad.
	12:48pm Wendy S: @pp: I agree! On that note, Son Volt played SF a few months back and I wasn’t able to go. I was SO disappointed!
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley! I think I saw that movie.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: I've seem Wilco many times, haven't seen Son Volt...one of these days...
	🥁 12:56pm wmfromD: Fifth Dimension preferable in Mono. IMHO
	12:56pm doctorjazz: Will be seeing Zorn's New Masada Quartet tomorrow, and The Weber/Morris Big Band Tuesday, looking forward to them!
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: @Wendy S I streamed it. Using the same link the Jeff posted in his comment above. @Bob B I felt that the doc did an solid job presenting Judee's musical genius. Hard to avoid the sordid stuff, of course, but it well captured her outsize talent. My problem with it is similar to how I felt about the Karen Dalton documentary. I'm really tired of seeing all these old men wax poetic now about remarkable and talented women with whom, back then, they really just wanted to get in their pants. They just seem like a pack of old vultures. (I realize I'm being a little unfair, but that's the feeling I get from it.) At least the Judee Sill film had some excellent contributions from Linda Rondstadt throughout. It would have balanced things more with the guys if she had been on camera, but we were only able to hear audio of her.
	12:57pm Eugene Bentley: Yeah. It was an attempt to update the Hammer Dracula franchise.
	12:58pm doctorjazz: Bechet is one of those musicians you can recognize in 1-2 notes.
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: Doug, I hear you. They weren't able to license any of the performance footage? Too bad. There's stuff on Youtube, or there was.
	12:59pm dan: Woody Allen named one of his two adopted daughters with Soon-Yi Bechet after the musician
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: @Bob B Pretty much everything you can access on YouTube is in the film. In terms of performance footage, there wasn't much more than that.
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: Doc, and they're always the right 2 notes!
	1:02pm mauri: howdydoody
	1:02pm Bob Brainen: mauri!
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	1:05pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	1:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Franco!
	1:14pm dan: Is that Gordon Haskell singing this Crimson song?
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: I don't think Judi Sills budding career as a young criminal should be glossed over. Did she kill anyone? No. Lot's of artists have a past that doesn't include the normal scuffling for gigs. She's one in a million. Celebrate her sordid past.
	1:20pm Bob Brainen: Franco, agree, but they shouldn't wallow in it. For me too many docs & flicks do and there's no balance and no sense of the joys.
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: dan, yes it is.
	🥁 1:22pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: Fair enough Bob, I haven't seen it. But her shenanigans can't be denied.
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: Will thee Sound Guy! 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:36pm Franco Twinkie: The promise the original sessions for FiveD by The Byrds produced by Dave Hassinger at RCA studio B could have been even wilder. Dave engineered Blast Off by The Astronauts in the same studio - by any measure the DNA of psych. Love, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead. He understood.
	1:38pm Dean: Sure would love to see photos of that Kansas City Bar.
	1:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Another great show! Thanks Bob!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: Will be driving, thanks Bob!
	1:43pm dan: Bob, a perfect addition to your show is the band Crowded House. They go well with XTC
	🥁 1:44pm Will thee Sound Guy: busy doing things, getting ready to go back out... hope all is well with everyone!!!
	1:44pm Wendy S: @dan: I’ve had that same thought.
	🥁 1:46pm Will thee Sound Guy: been enjoying the show, Thank you Bob!!!
	1:48pm french yak: @ Franco - Hassinger understood psych, but the Dead's lunacy and experimentation drove him out of the studio babbling to himself during the recording of Anthem Of The Sun.
	1:50pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: PaulRobeson1922!
	1:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Bob Brainen! : )
	1:52pm Wendy S: Now I know what toy I want for the holiday!
	1:53pm Franco Twinkie: True that, French yak! After Anthem of the Sun, Dave insisted on more reasonable artists to work with. Who could blame him.
	1:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanky Bob. Excellent post Thanksgiving fare.
	1:57pm Wendy S: Thanks for a good time Bob!
	1:57pm spodiodi: loved the show, thanks Bob!
	1:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Bob. We owe you big time.
	🥁 1:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸 📻🔥👍
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:58pm french yak: Merci beaucoup, monsieur Bob!
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1922: You know Franco, was it Leary? Who said if you are not frightened out of your wits once in a while you’re being ripped off by yer dealer
	2:10pm WR: Thank you, Bob.
