	11:05am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob. The other day there was an article in the Los Angeles Times about the resurgence of psychedelic drugs - magic mushrooms in particular as an to therapy. Not once did they mention LSD. Still a bugaboo, I guess.
	🥁 11:05am duke: Hi Bob and Bobbers
	11:06am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, Bob, folks!
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie! Are they going organic?
	11:06am Bob Brainen: duke!
	11:06am adamdoesit: Good morning Bob, rockers, jazzers, rhythm-a-nings.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton!
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:05 Hi there Franco!
	11:07am doctorjazz: Hey Bob, Brainenacs!
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:06 Howdy adamdoesit!
	🥁 11:07am (Mr) Bill: There is no sanity clause. Death, there is.
	11:07am doctorjazz: Hello Andrew! How are things in Toronto?
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 Hey doc!
	11:08am adamdoesit: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:07 Howdy do, Andrew?
	11:08am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:08am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 We are green again.
	11:08am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: adamdoesit!
	11:09am doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:08 It's not easy being green...
	11:10am Hopatcong Doug: Hi Bob. Happy Saturday everyone!
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Hopatcong Doug!
	11:11am Andrew in Toronto: This has a strong Chris Spedding vibe!
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:06 Yes they are, and there in lays the bias. Organic good - synthetic bad. But as a young tripster I found mushrooms equally capable of sending you straight to hell as the crazy acid. Progress is slow, I guess.
	🥁 11:13am duke: ↳ Song: "Death May Be Your Santa Claus" by "Mott The Hoople" I have the Goodbye Babylon box set. It has a track by Rev. J.M. Gates - Death Might Be Your Santa Claus. Not the same as Mott the Hoople's version.
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:09 Joe Raposo taught us both that!
	11:14am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:11 Hiya Franco!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Interesting Duke!
	11:18am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Vibrations" by "Teddy Charles Tentet" Go Teddy go!
	11:18am StringOFperils: G'morning, Mr. B. Sounding like tender mercies to my ear gear!
	11:19am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @11:18 Hiya String!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils!
	11:19am Pax: first 2023 Saturday morning NY greetings Bob 🧠en.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Pax!
	11:20am StringOFperils: Hey there Andrew. I raise my lukewarm coffee to thee!
	11:20am Listener Robert: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:11 And LSD is only SEMI-synthetic. At least that's how it'd be described if it were an antibiotic -- start with an extract from a living thing, then chemically modify it.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: Listener Robert!
	11:22am Listener Robert: DJ Bob Brainen!
	🥁 11:22am hopewithfeathers: Good morning Bob & all — happy new year!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers!
	🥁 11:23am Will thee Sound Guy: It's about Dan time 🕑
	11:24am doctorjazz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:05 I have read about LSD being used in therapy, also Ketamine. They are all experimental, sort of last ditch (when antidepressants and the standard psychiatric armamentarium has not worked for someone). They say they get good results.
	11:24am Uncle Michael: I think your comment on this Becker/Fagen is correct. I have this as a CBAT outtake.
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Unc, yeah, sounds like it would fit, just some weaker lyrics/rhymes than usual from B&F.
	11:26am Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Runnin' Child" by "Steely Dan" I need to learn to use this tool!
	11:28am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Poor Ditching Boy" by "Richard Thompson" From RT's 1st solo album, which sold about 20 copies (I really like it).
	11:28am holland oats: 💕 richard thompson
	11:28am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & all!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: holland oats!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:29am Pax: @ Franco: I'm wondering if they monkey'd around with the magic mushroom and made a gmo version like they do with all natural living organisms.
	🥁 11:30am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:30am Jeff: Richard Thompson - the pride of Montclair, NJ
	11:30am Uncle Michael: I can imagine that for any song, there would have been a point where it would have sounded too weak for its album, had they stopped developing it.
	11:31am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:28 Hi there Gina!
	11:31am Uncle Michael: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:26 I need to learn to use this tool!
	11:32am doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:26 UM, just wanted to thank you again for playing the requests of RebeccaJazz and MollyJazz; both were thrilled (MollyJazz was home, and just strutting around the house with a big smile on!)
	11:32am Uncle Michael: You're welcome, Doc...and that's so great!
	11:33am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:30 Montclair is a pretty hip town!
	11:36am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:30 Got to see his all request show at Symphony Space a few weeks ago (the nice thing about him being local is that he performs in the area fairly often)
	11:39am Pax: Johnny Klingringding sounds like someone who has a chronic addiction to drake's ring ding snack cakes.
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blessing In Disguise" by "Sonny Rollins" Not an album that gets much play, cool tracke Trane's rhythm section (Jimmy Garrison bass, Elvin Jones, drums).
	11:42am doctorjazz: Think Sonny's still trying on different musical "hats"
	11:48am Yes: Hey yall
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Yes!
	11:51am Gina Bacon: Hey, Andrew!
	11:54am Pax: Heya Gina B, from BPN.
	11:57am Jeff: Wow - Lady Blackbird has the sound of a classic from 60 years ago, and she’s now!
	🥁 11:57am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" Very nice.
	11:58am Pax: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" 💙
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Yeah, Lady Blackbird is the real deal! I'm trying to think who she reminds me of and the closest I get is Nina Simone.
	12:01pm Jeff: Bob, I was thinking Nina w/Erik Satie (or Bill Evans) on piano
	12:03pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, BOB, anyone who listens to Lady Blackbird and doesn't hear echoes of the great Ms. Simone just isn't listening. listening
	12:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:59 Good Lord. I was doing crunches when it played, and I could have sworn that was Nina Simone.
	12:06pm Pauly from Clifton: @Bob didn't know you were a son of Passaic. Before moving to Clifton, we lived at 63 6th Ave near the Swepco plant.
	12:10pm Pax: You make sense compared to me. I always think i sound boarder line unintelligible.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" A new name to me, dug the track!
	🥁 12:11pm (Mr) Bill: Dedicated to Brazil’s President-Again.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton, yeah my whole family was born in Passaic. We also lived in Clifton on Piaget Ave. for a few years in the 50s.
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 That`s the best thing I`ve heard in a while! Lady Blackbird.
	12:17pm Gerry from Miami: Is that you, Uncle Michael? Great seeing you here eagerly listening to BOB'S Saturday spectacular. Hope you are surviving the winter there in Lawrence, Kansas. It's sunny and about 80 degrees here in south Florida. Can't complain.
	12:17pm Jeff: Todd never stands still! I don’t love everything he does, but he’s ALWAYS pushing forward (unless, he’s involved in some tribute tour)
	12:19pm Bob Brainen: Jeff. I feel the same, he's still got some surprises!
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob & all
	12:25pm Gerry from Miami: Wasn't a big Utopia fan back when Todd went "fusion" in the 70s. But this new Space Force band sounds like he understands the genre now(almost 50 years later!). And Steve Vai is still a 10-fingered wizard. Sounds like he has twice that many digits! Anyone remember Vai's role in the great "guitar showdown" in the "Crossroads" movie?
	12:25pm mauri: Heya!
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: mauri!
	12:26pm tom tom the pipers son: hello...
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son!
	12:29pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:19 There aren`t many songs better than this!! Thank you.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Yay! Danny O'Keefe: Nice! Don't hear from him much anymore, but my fandom wears on nonetheless.
	12:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" by "Danny O'Ke... 😊
	12:29pm spodiodi: hello, Bob and all!
	12:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @12:29 This was a huge Vortex lp.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:30 That track got a lot of airplay in Canada
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Sandy would have turned 76 yesterday...
	12:34pm Jeff: The Brigati Brothers (David and Eddie) sing backup on that Danny O’Keefe album. Who woulda thunk? I think it’s the Ahmet Ertegun/Atlantic connection.
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: Jeff, now ~that~ is a fun fact!
	12:36pm Kevin in Doomsville: Those strings on the Sandy Deny track were incredible. Put me in mind of the George Martin produced "Diamond Dust" on Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: @StringOfPerils. I, too, am a huge fan of Danny O'Keefe. Thought he was a bit underappreciared back when singer-songwriters ruled the roost. My all-time fave number by him is "Mad Ruth/The Babe" from the "Breezy Stories" album. Still moves me even today, 50 years later.
	12:38pm Kev Cos: Sandy Denny, Phil Ochs and my late pal, Mike Fitzpatrick, thank you for your inspiration! Love, Cos
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It's interesting how you don't have to have ever heard a particular piece from Charles Ives to recognize it as, "must be a Charles Ives".
	12:40pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:36 That entire LP is a 70s high point in the singer-songwriter arena, for sure. Roger Kellaway on piano. C'mon! I like the American Roulette album a lot too. O'Keefe was one of those artists just too good for the marketplace to appreciate I guess...plus changing tastes/trends...
	🥁 12:42pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: Charles Ives was one serious composer, even though he only did it as a part-time avocation. He was too busy making millions selling insurance and developing principles of the industry that are still used today. A unique individual, for sure.
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: contours another casualty of motown
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:29 Hiya spodi!
	12:49pm spodiodi: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:48 hi Andrew!
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew and spodi!
	12:51pm Gerry from Miami: Wasn't the Jackson kids' dad a member of the Contours? "DoYou Love Me" and "First I Look at the Purse" were pretty big hits.
	12:51pm spodiodi: howdy, coelacanthØ!
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Warm Canto" by "Mal Waldron With Eric Dolphy" This is a fabulous track-"third stream" (though not hyped as such).
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Ron Carter on that great cello solo!
	12:56pm doctorjazz: Full credits Alto Saxophone, Clarinet – Eric Dolphy Bass – Joe Benjamin Cello – Ron Carter Design, Photography By – Don Schlitten Drums – Charlie Persip Piano, Written-By – Mal Waldron Recorded By – Rudy Van Gelder Tenor Saxophone – Booker Ervin
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: Gerry i don't think the Jacksons' father was in the contours. ...be funny if he had been though, a few years later when gordy invested in the children of a group he pretty much dismissed!
	12:58pm tom tom the pipers son: peppermint trolley sounding like left banke
	🥁 1:03pm wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Trust" by "Peppermint Trolley Company" From the team of Roger Nichols and Paul Williams. Has Williams written a book? If not, he should.
	1:07pm Frank Zaatar: Bob, can't wait for that special show. I always wanted to compile a list of "bands I was wrong about" and "bands I was right about."
	1:09pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Frank Zaatar, it's been a blast re-remembering all this stuff, so to speak.
	1:09pm Dean: Williams' book: https://www.gratitudeandtrust.com/book/
	1:10pm Gerry from Miami: @coelacanth. You are right. Joe Jackson was never a performer. Don't know where I heard that story.
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Dean!
	1:13pm Dean: Am I hearing Lil Green singing "Hesitation Blues," too? (That is, did she record it?) Ma Rainey?
	1:14pm Dean: Heh, Hot Tuna did record it.
	1:15pm Dean: In fact, it's track one on their first album, recorded just three blocks from where I sit, a former nightclub, now an auto body shop.
	🥁 1:16pm wmfromD: @Dean. Thanks!
	1:17pm Dean: You're welcome, wmfromD, but I suspect it isn't exactly what you had in mind. Something more like an account of his musical work.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:14 Norma was great on it (1st place I heard it))
	1:19pm doctorjazz: *Jorma
	1:19pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, greatr show, thanks Bob!
	1:21pm Dean: Assuming neither Lil Green nor Ma Rainey sang it, Jorma's probably the first I heard the tune, too. Odd that I "heard" the females, though, while the Jelly Roll was playing.
	🥁 1:22pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:22pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob. Been listening but just checkin' in 'cause I been organizing my cdrs.
	1:23pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Dean @1:14 Don't forget the Holy Modal Rounders' (typically bonkers) version, featuring allegedly the first recorded instance of "psychodelic."
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Jorma's Hesitation Blues was inspired by Rev. Gary Davis
	1:25pm doctorjazz: A link with versions... secondhandsongs.com...
	1:25pm Dean: I only just learned that HMRs played it, Frank. Was poking around Discogs to find the ladies who sang it.
	1:25pm Eugene Bentley: Hot Tuna is where I heard Hesitation Blues.
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: If you really want a chuckle, check out the Wikipedia page for the Doodletown Pipers. "The Simpsons" reference is priceless. Roger Miller's comment, too.
	1:26pm Dean: That's a great link, doctorjazz! Janis Joplin! Steely Dan with Marian McPartland...what?!
	1:28pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	1:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Gypsy In My Soul" by "Lester Young w/ The Oscar P... The only President who needs no term limits.
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:25 Thanks for the link doc!
	1:43pm tom tom the pipers son: gigantic proportions!
	🥁 1:48pm (Mr) Bill: There are times at which one has no choice but to play “Jump Into the Fire.” Much appreciated, Bob.
	1:48pm CalZone!: Swell show BB! Thanks for your efforts!
	🥁 1:48pm RobbieWhite: Thanks for playing Nilsson. Richard Perry was a GREAT producer.
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Wonderful show! Thanks Bob!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob!
	1:52pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob. There's no better way to Saturday.
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: After the FM radio success of "In the Court of the Crimson King," this little novelty with Greg Lake again handling the vocal, was a minor hit for a band that would never be known for "singles."
	1:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks, bob!
	1:55pm Gerry from Miami: Later, BOB! Thanks for another great show!
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Enjoyed the show, thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm wmfromD: Thanks Bob. Great show!
	1:56pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Reliable fabulosity once more…
	1:57pm spodiodi: great show. thanks, Bob!
	🥁 2:02pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Bob!!! Be well everyone!!!

	11:02am TDK60: Hello Bob
	11:02am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto!
	11:03am Bob Brainen: wmfromD!
	11:03am Andrew in Toronto: Hi TDK60!
	11:03am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:03am luka: hny all! this rocks.
	11:03am Bob Brainen: TDK60!
	11:04am Bob Brainen: luka!
	11:05am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob. The other day there was an article in the Los Angeles Times about the resurgence of psychedelic drugs - magic mushrooms in particular as an to therapy. Not once did they mention LSD. Still a bugaboo, I guess.
	🥁 11:05am duke: Hi Bob and Bobbers
	11:06am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, Bob, folks!
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie! Are they going organic?
	11:06am Bob Brainen: duke!
	11:06am adamdoesit: Good morning Bob, rockers, jazzers, rhythm-a-nings.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton!
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:05 Hi there Franco!
	11:07am doctorjazz: Hey Bob, Brainenacs!
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:06 Howdy adamdoesit!
	🥁 11:07am (Mr) Bill: There is no sanity clause. Death, there is.
	11:07am doctorjazz: Hello Andrew! How are things in Toronto?
	11:07am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 Hey doc!
	11:08am adamdoesit: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:07 Howdy do, Andrew?
	11:08am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:08am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 We are green again.
	11:08am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: adamdoesit!
	11:09am doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:08 It's not easy being green...
	11:10am Hopatcong Doug: Hi Bob. Happy Saturday everyone!
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Hopatcong Doug!
	11:11am Andrew in Toronto: This has a strong Chris Spedding vibe!
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:06 Yes they are, and there in lays the bias. Organic good - synthetic bad. But as a young tripster I found mushrooms equally capable of sending you straight to hell as the crazy acid. Progress is slow, I guess.
	🥁 11:13am duke: ↳ Song: "Death May Be Your Santa Claus" by "Mott The Hoople" I have the Goodbye Babylon box set. It has a track by Rev. J.M. Gates - Death Might Be Your Santa Claus. Not the same as Mott the Hoople's version.
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:09 Joe Raposo taught us both that!
	11:14am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:11 Hiya Franco!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Interesting Duke!
	11:18am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Vibrations" by "Teddy Charles Tentet" Go Teddy go!
	11:18am StringOFperils: G'morning, Mr. B. Sounding like tender mercies to my ear gear!
	11:19am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @11:18 Hiya String!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils!
	11:19am Pax: first 2023 Saturday morning NY greetings Bob 🧠en.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Pax!
	11:20am StringOFperils: Hey there Andrew. I raise my lukewarm coffee to thee!
	11:20am Listener Robert: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:11 And LSD is only SEMI-synthetic. At least that's how it'd be described if it were an antibiotic -- start with an extract from a living thing, then chemically modify it.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: Listener Robert!
	11:22am Listener Robert: DJ Bob Brainen!
	🥁 11:22am hopewithfeathers: Good morning Bob & all — happy new year!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers!
	🥁 11:23am Will thee Sound Guy: It's about Dan time 🕑
	11:24am doctorjazz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:05 I have read about LSD being used in therapy, also Ketamine. They are all experimental, sort of last ditch (when antidepressants and the standard psychiatric armamentarium has not worked for someone). They say they get good results.
	11:24am Uncle Michael: I think your comment on this Becker/Fagen is correct. I have this as a CBAT outtake.
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Unc, yeah, sounds like it would fit, just some weaker lyrics/rhymes than usual from B&F.
	11:26am Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Runnin' Child" by "Steely Dan" I need to learn to use this tool!
	11:28am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Poor Ditching Boy" by "Richard Thompson" From RT's 1st solo album, which sold about 20 copies (I really like it).
	11:28am holland oats: 💕 richard thompson
	11:28am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & all!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: holland oats!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:29am Pax: @ Franco: I'm wondering if they monkey'd around with the magic mushroom and made a gmo version like they do with all natural living organisms.
	🥁 11:30am Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:30am Jeff: Richard Thompson - the pride of Montclair, NJ
	11:30am Uncle Michael: I can imagine that for any song, there would have been a point where it would have sounded too weak for its album, had they stopped developing it.
	11:31am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:28 Hi there Gina!
	11:31am Uncle Michael: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:26 I need to learn to use this tool!
	11:32am doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:26 UM, just wanted to thank you again for playing the requests of RebeccaJazz and MollyJazz; both were thrilled (MollyJazz was home, and just strutting around the house with a big smile on!)
	11:32am Uncle Michael: You're welcome, Doc...and that's so great!
	11:33am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:30 Montclair is a pretty hip town!
	11:36am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:30 Got to see his all request show at Symphony Space a few weeks ago (the nice thing about him being local is that he performs in the area fairly often)
	11:39am Pax: Johnny Klingringding sounds like someone who has a chronic addiction to drake's ring ding snack cakes.
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blessing In Disguise" by "Sonny Rollins" Not an album that gets much play, cool tracke Trane's rhythm section (Jimmy Garrison bass, Elvin Jones, drums).
	11:42am doctorjazz: Think Sonny's still trying on different musical "hats"
	11:48am Yes: Hey yall
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Yes!
	11:51am Gina Bacon: Hey, Andrew!
	11:54am Pax: Heya Gina B, from BPN.
	11:57am Jeff: Wow - Lady Blackbird has the sound of a classic from 60 years ago, and she’s now!
	🥁 11:57am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" Very nice.
	11:58am Pax: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" 💙
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Yeah, Lady Blackbird is the real deal! I'm trying to think who she reminds me of and the closest I get is Nina Simone.
	12:01pm Jeff: Bob, I was thinking Nina w/Erik Satie (or Bill Evans) on piano
	12:03pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, BOB, anyone who listens to Lady Blackbird and doesn't hear echoes of the great Ms. Simone just isn't listening. listening
	12:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:59 Good Lord. I was doing crunches when it played, and I could have sworn that was Nina Simone.
	12:06pm Pauly from Clifton: @Bob didn't know you were a son of Passaic. Before moving to Clifton, we lived at 63 6th Ave near the Swepco plant.
	12:10pm Pax: You make sense compared to me. I always think i sound boarder line unintelligible.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fix It" by "Lady Blackbird" A new name to me, dug the track!
	🥁 12:11pm (Mr) Bill: Dedicated to Brazil’s President-Again.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton, yeah my whole family was born in Passaic. We also lived in Clifton on Piaget Ave. for a few years in the 50s.
	12:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 That`s the best thing I`ve heard in a while! Lady Blackbird.
	12:17pm Gerry from Miami: Is that you, Uncle Michael? Great seeing you here eagerly listening to BOB'S Saturday spectacular. Hope you are surviving the winter there in Lawrence, Kansas. It's sunny and about 80 degrees here in south Florida. Can't complain.
	12:17pm Jeff: Todd never stands still! I don’t love everything he does, but he’s ALWAYS pushing forward (unless, he’s involved in some tribute tour)
	12:19pm Bob Brainen: Jeff. I feel the same, he's still got some surprises!
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Bob & all
	12:25pm Gerry from Miami: Wasn't a big Utopia fan back when Todd went "fusion" in the 70s. But this new Space Force band sounds like he understands the genre now(almost 50 years later!). And Steve Vai is still a 10-fingered wizard. Sounds like he has twice that many digits! Anyone remember Vai's role in the great "guitar showdown" in the "Crossroads" movie?
	12:25pm mauri: Heya!
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: mauri!
	12:26pm tom tom the pipers son: hello...
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son!
	12:29pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:19 There aren`t many songs better than this!! Thank you.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Yay! Danny O'Keefe: Nice! Don't hear from him much anymore, but my fandom wears on nonetheless.
	12:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" by "Danny O'Ke... 😊
	12:29pm spodiodi: hello, Bob and all!
	12:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @12:29 This was a huge Vortex lp.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:30 That track got a lot of airplay in Canada
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Sandy would have turned 76 yesterday...
	12:34pm Jeff: The Brigati Brothers (David and Eddie) sing backup on that Danny O’Keefe album. Who woulda thunk? I think it’s the Ahmet Ertegun/Atlantic connection.
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: Jeff, now ~that~ is a fun fact!
	12:36pm Kevin in Doomsville: Those strings on the Sandy Deny track were incredible. Put me in mind of the George Martin produced "Diamond Dust" on Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: @StringOfPerils. I, too, am a huge fan of Danny O'Keefe. Thought he was a bit underappreciared back when singer-songwriters ruled the roost. My all-time fave number by him is "Mad Ruth/The Babe" from the "Breezy Stories" album. Still moves me even today, 50 years later.
	12:38pm Kev Cos: Sandy Denny, Phil Ochs and my late pal, Mike Fitzpatrick, thank you for your inspiration! Love, Cos
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It's interesting how you don't have to have ever heard a particular piece from Charles Ives to recognize it as, "must be a Charles Ives".
	12:40pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:36 That entire LP is a 70s high point in the singer-songwriter arena, for sure. Roger Kellaway on piano. C'mon! I like the American Roulette album a lot too. O'Keefe was one of those artists just too good for the marketplace to appreciate I guess...plus changing tastes/trends...
	🥁 12:42pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: Charles Ives was one serious composer, even though he only did it as a part-time avocation. He was too busy making millions selling insurance and developing principles of the industry that are still used today. A unique individual, for sure.
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: contours another casualty of motown
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:29 Hiya spodi!
	12:49pm spodiodi: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:48 hi Andrew!
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew and spodi!
	12:51pm Gerry from Miami: Wasn't the Jackson kids' dad a member of the Contours? "DoYou Love Me" and "First I Look at the Purse" were pretty big hits.
	12:51pm spodiodi: howdy, coelacanthØ!
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Warm Canto" by "Mal Waldron With Eric Dolphy" This is a fabulous track-"third stream" (though not hyped as such).
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Ron Carter on that great cello solo!
	12:56pm doctorjazz: Full credits Alto Saxophone, Clarinet – Eric Dolphy Bass – Joe Benjamin Cello – Ron Carter Design, Photography By – Don Schlitten Drums – Charlie Persip Piano, Written-By – Mal Waldron Recorded By – Rudy Van Gelder Tenor Saxophone – Booker Ervin
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: Gerry i don't think the Jacksons' father was in the contours. ...be funny if he had been though, a few years later when gordy invested in the children of a group he pretty much dismissed!
	12:58pm tom tom the pipers son: peppermint trolley sounding like left banke
	🥁 1:03pm wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Trust" by "Peppermint Trolley Company" From the team of Roger Nichols and Paul Williams. Has Williams written a book? If not, he should.
	1:07pm Frank Zaatar: Bob, can't wait for that special show. I always wanted to compile a list of "bands I was wrong about" and "bands I was right about."
	1:09pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Frank Zaatar, it's been a blast re-remembering all this stuff, so to speak.
	1:09pm Dean: Williams' book: https://www.gratitudeandtrust.com/book/
	1:10pm Gerry from Miami: @coelacanth. You are right. Joe Jackson was never a performer. Don't know where I heard that story.
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Dean!
	1:13pm Dean: Am I hearing Lil Green singing "Hesitation Blues," too? (That is, did she record it?) Ma Rainey?
	1:14pm Dean: Heh, Hot Tuna did record it.
	1:15pm Dean: In fact, it's track one on their first album, recorded just three blocks from where I sit, a former nightclub, now an auto body shop.
	🥁 1:16pm wmfromD: @Dean. Thanks!
	1:17pm Dean: You're welcome, wmfromD, but I suspect it isn't exactly what you had in mind. Something more like an account of his musical work.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:14 Norma was great on it (1st place I heard it))
	1:19pm doctorjazz: *Jorma
	1:19pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, greatr show, thanks Bob!
	1:21pm Dean: Assuming neither Lil Green nor Ma Rainey sang it, Jorma's probably the first I heard the tune, too. Odd that I "heard" the females, though, while the Jelly Roll was playing.
	🥁 1:22pm Will thee Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:22pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob. Been listening but just checkin' in 'cause I been organizing my cdrs.
	1:23pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Dean @1:14 Don't forget the Holy Modal Rounders' (typically bonkers) version, featuring allegedly the first recorded instance of "psychodelic."
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Jorma's Hesitation Blues was inspired by Rev. Gary Davis
	1:25pm doctorjazz: A link with versions... secondhandsongs.com...
	1:25pm Dean: I only just learned that HMRs played it, Frank. Was poking around Discogs to find the ladies who sang it.
	1:25pm Eugene Bentley: Hot Tuna is where I heard Hesitation Blues.
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: If you really want a chuckle, check out the Wikipedia page for the Doodletown Pipers. "The Simpsons" reference is priceless. Roger Miller's comment, too.
	1:26pm Dean: That's a great link, doctorjazz! Janis Joplin! Steely Dan with Marian McPartland...what?!
	1:28pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	1:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Gypsy In My Soul" by "Lester Young w/ The Oscar P... The only President who needs no term limits.
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:25 Thanks for the link doc!
	1:43pm tom tom the pipers son: gigantic proportions!
	🥁 1:48pm (Mr) Bill: There are times at which one has no choice but to play “Jump Into the Fire.” Much appreciated, Bob.
	1:48pm CalZone!: Swell show BB! Thanks for your efforts!
	🥁 1:48pm RobbieWhite: Thanks for playing Nilsson. Richard Perry was a GREAT producer.
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Wonderful show! Thanks Bob!
	1:50pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob!
	1:52pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob. There's no better way to Saturday.
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: After the FM radio success of "In the Court of the Crimson King," this little novelty with Greg Lake again handling the vocal, was a minor hit for a band that would never be known for "singles."
	1:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks, bob!
	1:55pm Gerry from Miami: Later, BOB! Thanks for another great show!
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Enjoyed the show, thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm wmfromD: Thanks Bob. Great show!
	1:56pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Reliable fabulosity once more…
	1:57pm spodiodi: great show. thanks, Bob!
