	🥁 11:16am PAULS: Georgie still with us, 81 years young!
	11:17am David B: What’s the update on Joey, by the way?
	11:18am doctorjazz: ↳ PAULS @11:16 I'm wondering, at what age do you go from being so-and-so years old, to so-and-so years young (I fear I'm getting to the years young category...)
	11:19am SecretSquirrel: Happy Saturday, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:20am adamdoesit: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:12 Good morning, AiT.

	🥁 11:21am (Mr) Bill: ↳ doctorjazz @11:18 It’s _not_ the first time you think of the question. You may have considerable time to go.
	11:22am Roberto: ↳ Song: "The World Is Full Of Angry Young Men" by "XTC" Not to mention old.
	🥁 11:22am PAULS: (This could be where Doug steps in to remind us that The Murky Turns were his first band in high school...)
	11:23am StringOFperils: When start using 'fear' instead of 'eager' or 'can't wait', you've taken that turn-off
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Hey Roberto, yeah anger is for all ages. So is joy, etc.
	11:24am StringOFperils: *you
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Happy Sat. to you, SecretSquirrel

	11:27am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Borneo" by "Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra [w/Bi... Bix is Back!!
	11:28am David B: Need a fix of BIX today
	11:28am doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @11:23 I know some fearful 20 year olds, have to say..
	11:29am TDK60: Hi Bob.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: HI, TDK60
	11:31am doctorjazz: Back in the 1920s, Louis Armstrong is supposed to have said something to the effect that Bix Beiderbeck was the only other musician to have his own approach/sound.
	🥁 11:32am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:32am David B: Mr. Hossler was the kindest, warmest, most loving human being I’ve ever known in my life..,
	🥁 11:33am PAULS: ↳ David B @11:17 Seems Joey is doing well enough to join Yo La Tengo onstage a few weeks back, nice! Found this photo on Instagram... tinyurl.com...
	11:33am Roberto: C'est le chemin de fer.
	🥁 11:35am PAULS: ↳ David B @11:32 Let's play a little solitaire...
	11:36am Doug Schulkind: Good morning, Bob and Bobfans!
	11:36am StringOFperils: C'est la même vieille merde
	11:36am TDK60: ↳ David B @11:32 David- I was lucky to have a few inspiring, non-conformistic teachers in high school. And I remember them better than others.
	11:41am David B: Me, too ! Still can recall many that made a big impact on my life…
	11:41am northguineahills: morning bob & peep(er)s!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: morning, northguineahills
	🥁 11:43am (Mr) Bill: I wouldn’t mind a Shazam-type app to help distinguish between three-quarter time and 6/8.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hey there, Doug Schulkind
	11:44am Bob Brainen: ↳ TDK60 @11:36 That made me think back to high School too but no teacher came to mind...except an Art teacher who did not like me. But I did have 2 Professors who had a big influence on me. So there's that.
	11:46am northguineahills: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 i like the way you think!
	11:48am StringOFperils: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 Count it and learn to feel/hear the downbeat. You'll train your brain. An APP will train your brain too, but it'll train your brain to roll over and beg.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: ↳ StringOFperils @11:48 You think it's that clear cut?
	11:51am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All And All Blues" by "Jerron Paxton" Sounfd likr s 20s bluesman (whicch I guess he is, just the next century)
	11:51am StringOFperils: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 I do. Nothing completely foreign is clear at first, but it gets better once it's in there. I think it's a felt thing. A physical thing. If you can hear the course of your own heartbeat, you can do it.
	11:53am Roberto: ↳ Song: "I'm Not Talking" by "Mose Allison" Mose nose.
	11:53am Layet Johnson: Oh yeah this song hits right now
	11:54am StringOFperils: Counting syncopated 5/8 gets a little more dicey, but you have to start with that foundation
	11:55am Dean: Not sure how reliable this is, but it's new to me: https://www.schoolofcomposition.com/what-is-the-difference-between-3-4-and-6-8-time/
	11:55am Bob Brainen: Hey, Layet Johnson, glad you dig.
	11:55am Bob Brainen: Hi, Dean, will look when I have a chance.
	11:58am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Godumaduma" by "Codona" thought it waas codona
	11:58am adamdoesit: ↳ StringOFperils @11:48 I can count 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 ok, but 6/8 and on leaves me at sixes and sevens.
	11:59am StringOFperils: Ha ha. Time will tell.
	12:01pm Dean: I also query the difference between 4/4 and 2/2. But when I'm playing, say, Thomas Morley duets it's all I can do to get through the entire piece.
	🥁 12:02pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 My wife (a trained flutist) thanks you for the validation, Bob. SoP’s suggestion is helpful, as is the website Dean posted below. Side note: My best friend, a composition professor and composer, says that online sheet music often has the wrong time signature in “3/4 or 6/8?” situations.
	12:03pm Dean: Or 2/4 and 2/2. Most fun are transcribed chants. No measures!
	🥁 12:04pm listener 126464: Good afternoon, enjoying the show, Bob.
	🥁 12:04pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ adamdoesit @11:58 Touché. I may start saying, “At sixes and eights."
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey, listener 126464
	12:06pm StringOFperils: There IS a a lot of subjective overlay to what is, more less, inflexible math. You can bet Jelly didn't quibble too much about it, even though I can't think of a single person who had better time. The guy's an atomic clock, but the beat is really happening .
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Lazy Me" by "Moby Grape" Lie here, not lay here.
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Stoopit Grapes.
	🥁 12:07pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 12:09pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Lol!
	🥁 12:09pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Roberto @12:07 “Lay Lady Lay.” Oy Dylan Oy.
	🥁 12:13pm chresti: Lie Lady Lie- big liar!
	12:15pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @12:09 I suppose they're in good company -- Lay, Lady, Lay, Lay Down Sally, and so on.
	12:15pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @12:13 Oh yeah lolzz
	12:16pm Roberto: Just think how much better rock music would be if the songwriters had paid attention in English class.
	12:19pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Lazy Me" by "Moby Grape" Yeah, you "can't say enough" about that 1st Moby Grape slab, Bob. So, I'll chime in here too.
	🥁 12:21pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @12:16 I suppose they go with what sounds better. Kinda like French with it's exceptions?
	🥁 12:22pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Roberto @12:15 Melanie’s “Lay down, lay down/Lay it all down” gets it both wrong and right.
	12:23pm Soule: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 For some reason I was trying to think of Beatles songs in 3/4. And I was thinking "This Boy" didn't belong because it was more like 6/8. Then I listened to the record and it's quite slow, so I decided it was 3/4. An argument could be made either way.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Roberto @12:16 I dunno. How can you beat this? > Cow cow hoo-oo Cow cow wanna dib-a-doo Chicken hon-a-chick-a-chick hole-a-hubba Hey fried chuck-a-lucka wanna jubba Hi-low nay wanna dubba hubba Day down sum wanna jigga-wah Dell rown ay wanna lubba hubba Mull an' a mound chicka lubba hubba Fay down ah wanna dippa-zippa-dippa Mm-mmn, do that again! Doo doo doo boo
	12:26pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Roberto @12:15 At least lay down is colloquial. But "for you and I" is just bad English.
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar
	🥁 12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Soule @12:23 You’ve inspired the wife and me to hear/feel the beat(s) in “With a Little Help From My Friends."
	12:30pm Frank Zaatar: 'Morning, Bob!
	12:30pm Soule: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:28 Have some fun with "All You Need Is Love" - alternating measures of 4/4 and 3/4.
	12:39pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning Bob.
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Franco Twinkie
	12:46pm Dean: This Luther Grosvenor song later appeared on Widowmaker's second album. Had the pleasure of hearing them open for ELO.
	12:54pm Dean: "For you and I" can be good English, e.g., "For you and I are friends." Ain't language fun?
	12:59pm Dean: More fun with language: VIPs. Is it Very Important Persons, Very Important Peoples, or Very Important People?
	🥁 1:04pm wmfromd: I've seen the V.I.Ps on old gig posters. Usually third on the bill with headliners like the Who or Hendrix.
	1:18pm spodiodi: greetings, Bob and all
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: greetings to you, spodiodi
	🥁 1:22pm PAULS: Bob I'd like to request an hour with Jesse Ed Davis at some point -- I've been listening to his solo albums and work with Taj Mahal this week cuz I'm heading to Tulsa in early Feb for a tribute concert, Jackson Browne + Taj + others, put on by the Dylan Center there, which also has an exhibit on him currently. His stuff is so good! And of course many great guests on those solo recordings...
	1:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:18 hiya, spodi!
	1:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @1:22 I'll second that emotion.
	🥁 1:24pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over The rainbow" by "Mike Harrison" Not bad. Not bad at all.
	1:24pm spodiodi: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 1:25pm PAULS: ↳ StringOFperils @1:23 thanks, String! I'm psyched for the show plus visits to Dylan and Guthrie centers and Leon's Church! first time to Tulsa
	1:28pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @1:25 Kinda envious. Here's to the Tulsa Tops!
	1:30pm StringOFperils: I have this big single. And it sounds mind-blowingly good!
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: ↳ PAULS @1:22 I'll add it to the list
	🥁 1:31pm RobbieWhite: in 2024 I played Stewart & Gaskin doing It's My Party
	1:41pm Gerry from Miami: HOWDY, Bob! Can never get enough DOLPHY! So talented! His bass clarinet is astounding!
	1:41pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, Bob. I gotta run out and try to beat the rain.
	1:49pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta dash. Fantastic show, as ever, Bob!
	1:49pm Bob Brainen: HI, Gerry from Miami
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent episode! Thanks, Bob!
	1:54pm spodiodi: thank you, Bob! loved the show
	1:55pm StringOFperils: *prostrates self before the ACCU Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Thanks, Bob!
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: There used to be a weekly posting on the back page of the the Voice (?) called "Levi Stubbs' anguished Soul Cries." Thanks again for the music, Bob.
	🥁 1:57pm PAULS: thank, Bob! good weekend to all, catch ya next time on the drummer stream
	1:57pm StringOFperils: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:56 ...next to pray for me St. Jude
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromd: Great show Bob! Thanks!
	🥁 1:58pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks for the peace and pleasure before we all enter the forthcoming different world, Bob.

	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey, David B.
	11:14am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Sidewinder" by "Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames" Cool cover (Lee Morgan tune, bit more rockimg)1
	🥁 11:16am PAULS: Georgie still with us, 81 years young!
	11:17am David B: What’s the update on Joey, by the way?
	11:18am doctorjazz: ↳ PAULS @11:16 I'm wondering, at what age do you go from being so-and-so years old, to so-and-so years young (I fear I'm getting to the years young category...)
	11:19am SecretSquirrel: Happy Saturday, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:20am adamdoesit: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:12 Good morning, AiT.
	🥁 11:21am PAULS: ↳ doctorjazz @11:18 Yes, doc -- a murky turn of phrase for sure!
	🥁 11:21am (Mr) Bill: ↳ doctorjazz @11:18 It’s _not_ the first time you think of the question. You may have considerable time to go.
	11:22am Roberto: ↳ Song: "The World Is Full Of Angry Young Men" by "XTC" Not to mention old.
	🥁 11:22am PAULS: (This could be where Doug steps in to remind us that The Murky Turns were his first band in high school...)
	11:23am StringOFperils: When start using 'fear' instead of 'eager' or 'can't wait', you've taken that turn-off
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Hey Roberto, yeah anger is for all ages. So is joy, etc.
	11:24am StringOFperils: *you
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Happy Sat. to you, SecretSquirrel
	11:26am Roberto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:23 BAHB!
	11:27am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Borneo" by "Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra [w/Bi... Bix is Back!!
	11:28am David B: Need a fix of BIX today
	11:28am doctorjazz: ↳ StringOFperils @11:23 I know some fearful 20 year olds, have to say..
	11:29am TDK60: Hi Bob.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: HI, TDK60
	11:31am doctorjazz: Back in the 1920s, Louis Armstrong is supposed to have said something to the effect that Bix Beiderbeck was the only other musician to have his own approach/sound.
	🥁 11:32am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:32am David B: Mr. Hossler was the kindest, warmest, most loving human being I’ve ever known in my life..,
	🥁 11:33am PAULS: ↳ David B @11:17 Seems Joey is doing well enough to join Yo La Tengo onstage a few weeks back, nice! Found this photo on Instagram... tinyurl.com...
	11:33am Roberto: C'est le chemin de fer.
	🥁 11:35am PAULS: ↳ David B @11:32 Let's play a little solitaire...
	11:36am Doug Schulkind: Good morning, Bob and Bobfans!
	11:36am StringOFperils: C'est la même vieille merde
	11:36am TDK60: ↳ David B @11:32 David- I was lucky to have a few inspiring, non-conformistic teachers in high school. And I remember them better than others.
	11:41am David B: Me, too ! Still can recall many that made a big impact on my life…
	11:41am northguineahills: morning bob & peep(er)s!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: morning, northguineahills
	🥁 11:43am (Mr) Bill: I wouldn’t mind a Shazam-type app to help distinguish between three-quarter time and 6/8.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hey there, Doug Schulkind
	11:44am Bob Brainen: ↳ TDK60 @11:36 That made me think back to high School too but no teacher came to mind...except an Art teacher who did not like me. But I did have 2 Professors who had a big influence on me. So there's that.
	11:46am northguineahills: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 i like the way you think!
	11:48am StringOFperils: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 Count it and learn to feel/hear the downbeat. You'll train your brain. An APP will train your brain too, but it'll train your brain to roll over and beg.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: ↳ StringOFperils @11:48 You think it's that clear cut?
	11:51am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All And All Blues" by "Jerron Paxton" Sounfd likr s 20s bluesman (whicch I guess he is, just the next century)
	11:51am StringOFperils: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 I do. Nothing completely foreign is clear at first, but it gets better once it's in there. I think it's a felt thing. A physical thing. If you can hear the course of your own heartbeat, you can do it.
	11:53am Roberto: ↳ Song: "I'm Not Talking" by "Mose Allison" Mose nose.
	11:53am Layet Johnson: Oh yeah this song hits right now
	11:54am StringOFperils: Counting syncopated 5/8 gets a little more dicey, but you have to start with that foundation
	11:55am Dean: Not sure how reliable this is, but it's new to me: https://www.schoolofcomposition.com/what-is-the-difference-between-3-4-and-6-8-time/
	11:55am Bob Brainen: Hey, Layet Johnson, glad you dig.
	11:55am Bob Brainen: Hi, Dean, will look when I have a chance.
	11:58am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Godumaduma" by "Codona" thought it waas codona
	11:58am adamdoesit: ↳ StringOFperils @11:48 I can count 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 ok, but 6/8 and on leaves me at sixes and sevens.
	11:59am StringOFperils: Ha ha. Time will tell.
	12:01pm Dean: I also query the difference between 4/4 and 2/2. But when I'm playing, say, Thomas Morley duets it's all I can do to get through the entire piece.
	🥁 12:02pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 My wife (a trained flutist) thanks you for the validation, Bob. SoP’s suggestion is helpful, as is the website Dean posted below. Side note: My best friend, a composition professor and composer, says that online sheet music often has the wrong time signature in “3/4 or 6/8?” situations.
	12:03pm Dean: Or 2/4 and 2/2. Most fun are transcribed chants. No measures!
	🥁 12:04pm listener 126464: Good afternoon, enjoying the show, Bob.
	🥁 12:04pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ adamdoesit @11:58 Touché. I may start saying, “At sixes and eights."
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey, listener 126464
	12:06pm StringOFperils: There IS a a lot of subjective overlay to what is, more less, inflexible math. You can bet Jelly didn't quibble too much about it, even though I can't think of a single person who had better time. The guy's an atomic clock, but the beat is really happening .
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Lazy Me" by "Moby Grape" Lie here, not lay here.
	12:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Stoopit Grapes.
	🥁 12:07pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 12:09pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @12:07 Lol!
	🥁 12:09pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Roberto @12:07 “Lay Lady Lay.” Oy Dylan Oy.
	🥁 12:13pm chresti: Lie Lady Lie- big liar!
	12:15pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @12:09 I suppose they're in good company -- Lay, Lady, Lay, Lay Down Sally, and so on.
	12:15pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @12:13 Oh yeah lolzz
	12:16pm Roberto: Just think how much better rock music would be if the songwriters had paid attention in English class.
	12:19pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Lazy Me" by "Moby Grape" Yeah, you "can't say enough" about that 1st Moby Grape slab, Bob. So, I'll chime in here too.
	🥁 12:21pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @12:16 I suppose they go with what sounds better. Kinda like French with it's exceptions?
	🥁 12:22pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Roberto @12:15 Melanie’s “Lay down, lay down/Lay it all down” gets it both wrong and right.
	12:23pm Soule: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:43 For some reason I was trying to think of Beatles songs in 3/4. And I was thinking "This Boy" didn't belong because it was more like 6/8. Then I listened to the record and it's quite slow, so I decided it was 3/4. An argument could be made either way.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ Roberto @12:16 I dunno. How can you beat this? > Cow cow hoo-oo Cow cow wanna dib-a-doo Chicken hon-a-chick-a-chick hole-a-hubba Hey fried chuck-a-lucka wanna jubba Hi-low nay wanna dubba hubba Day down sum wanna jigga-wah Dell rown ay wanna lubba hubba Mull an' a mound chicka lubba hubba Fay down ah wanna dippa-zippa-dippa Mm-mmn, do that again! Doo doo doo boo
	12:26pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Roberto @12:15 At least lay down is colloquial. But "for you and I" is just bad English.
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar
	🥁 12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Soule @12:23 You’ve inspired the wife and me to hear/feel the beat(s) in “With a Little Help From My Friends."
	12:30pm Frank Zaatar: 'Morning, Bob!
	12:30pm Soule: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:28 Have some fun with "All You Need Is Love" - alternating measures of 4/4 and 3/4.
	12:39pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning Bob.
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Franco Twinkie
	12:46pm Dean: This Luther Grosvenor song later appeared on Widowmaker's second album. Had the pleasure of hearing them open for ELO.
	12:54pm Dean: "For you and I" can be good English, e.g., "For you and I are friends." Ain't language fun?
	12:59pm Dean: More fun with language: VIPs. Is it Very Important Persons, Very Important Peoples, or Very Important People?
	🥁 1:04pm wmfromd: I've seen the V.I.Ps on old gig posters. Usually third on the bill with headliners like the Who or Hendrix.
	1:18pm spodiodi: greetings, Bob and all
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: greetings to you, spodiodi
	🥁 1:22pm PAULS: Bob I'd like to request an hour with Jesse Ed Davis at some point -- I've been listening to his solo albums and work with Taj Mahal this week cuz I'm heading to Tulsa in early Feb for a tribute concert, Jackson Browne + Taj + others, put on by the Dylan Center there, which also has an exhibit on him currently. His stuff is so good! And of course many great guests on those solo recordings...
	1:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:18 hiya, spodi!
	1:23pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @1:22 I'll second that emotion.
	🥁 1:24pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over The rainbow" by "Mike Harrison" Not bad. Not bad at all.
	1:24pm spodiodi: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 1:25pm PAULS: ↳ StringOFperils @1:23 thanks, String! I'm psyched for the show plus visits to Dylan and Guthrie centers and Leon's Church! first time to Tulsa
	1:28pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @1:25 Kinda envious. Here's to the Tulsa Tops!
	1:30pm StringOFperils: I have this big single. And it sounds mind-blowingly good!
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: ↳ PAULS @1:22 I'll add it to the list
	🥁 1:31pm RobbieWhite: in 2024 I played Stewart & Gaskin doing It's My Party
	1:41pm Gerry from Miami: HOWDY, Bob! Can never get enough DOLPHY! So talented! His bass clarinet is astounding!
	1:41pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, Bob. I gotta run out and try to beat the rain.

	1:55pm StringOFperils: *prostrates self before the ACCU Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Thanks, Bob!
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: There used to be a weekly posting on the back page of the the Voice (?) called "Levi Stubbs' anguished Soul Cries." Thanks again for the music, Bob.
	🥁 1:57pm PAULS: thank, Bob! good weekend to all, catch ya next time on the drummer stream
	1:57pm StringOFperils: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:56 ...next to pray for me St. Jude
