	♥ 11:27am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Eventually" by "Ornette Coleman" Craft Records released a 2 disc set on this album and Something Else (LP, CD, SACD, and digital download) at a reasonable price-don't think the LP or SACD versions are still available, CD may be, digital download is. Remastered for sound, must have albums!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Black Dog, good morning
	11:29am Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @11:27 Wow,, they paired an Atlantic and a Contemporary? Interesting.
	♥ 11:30am doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:29 (at one point, they had a sale on a combination of the 2 SACD and 2 LP versions, which I couldn't resist).
	11:32am marc mendelson: good morning Bob sun is out here in Oakland how is N J ? BE WELL MM
	11:35am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB, and all the BRAINIACS! I was perusing the list of winners of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowships as I was listening to that early cut from ORNETTE COLEMAN. I knew he was an awardee, but several other musicians from the jazz world have also been honored, including ANTHONY BRAXTON, CECIL TAYLOR, JOHN ZORN, VIJAY IYER and others. I urge all the listeners to go to the website to see the complete list. Search for "jazz", "musician" or "composer."
	11:36am Soule: Hey, hey!
	♥ 11:37am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @11:36 Hi, Soule!
	♥ 11:39am adamdoesit: Hello Bob and brains. Tzipi the cat seems fully adjusted to her new life. She has found the precise center of the dining table, and shall not be moved from it.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hey marc mendelson, It's been real nice n cold in NJ, a little warmer today.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hi Gerry, I'll take a look when time allows.
	11:41am Jeff: In the mid-‘70s, I went to New Music Distribution Service on Broadway near Canal. I’d been looking to buy Escalator Over The Hill for a few years and couldn’t find it in any record store. Since I lived In Brooklyn, I figured I’d go right to the source. I just showed up and asked them if I could buy it there. They said sure, and I also bought the Jazz Composers Orchestra w/Cecil Taylor and a Michael Mantler album called No Answer and one or two others.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Hey hey, Soule
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Hey adamdoes it, do not disturb.
	11:42am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Broken Barricades" by "Procol Harum" Irwin's vote for most depressing track of all time.
	11:42am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:37 Andrew! Hey, hey!
	11:42am (Mr) Bill: ↳ adamdoesit @11:39 I’m glad that Tzipi has created her own special tzone.
	11:43am Soule: ↳ Jeff @11:41 That "No Answer" is something! I wish I still had my copy.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @11:41 Great choices, Jeff. I just did mail order with them but spent a good amount of $. Well worth it.
	♥ 11:44am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:24 Morning, Andrew!
	♥ 11:44am adamdoesit: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:42 It's Tzipi's world, (Mr) Bill, we're just vitzitors.
	♥ 11:45am Gina Bacon: Thanks for this one...so great to hear them.
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: One of the most egregious snubs from the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME is PROCOL HARUM. The band's "WHITER SHADE OF PALE" was chosen as a "classic" song, but the group has never been an official inductee. Not that JANN WENNER and his HALL really matters! Just thought I would mention this fact.
	11:54am Gerry from Miami: MARY HOPKIN! Those were the days, all right!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: How did I forget to mention that MAX ROACH was a MacARTHUR FELLOWSHIP awardee? And I've always loved the vocal stylings of ABBEY LINCOLN! Thanks, BOB, for another "nugget!"
	♥ 12:07pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "La Femme D'Argent" by "Air" Saw these guys live at the time this came out. Good show.
	12:15pm Kevin in Doomsville: Greetings Robo. I see Robin Trower is touring the states this summer.
	12:17pm gene sculatti: Mornin,' Bob!
	12:19pm Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @12:07 Interesting. I'd thing they were a studio project.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Kevin in Doomsville, very cool.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, Gene S.
	♥ 12:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "(I'm a) Road Runner" by "Jr. Walker & The All-Stars" Blow that sax!!!
	12:24pm bigplanetnoise: Morning, Bob!
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Morning, BPN
	♥ 12:26pm wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:19 They toured the states behind this album. I think some of Beck's cohorts were in the band as well.
	12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "(I'm a) Road Runner" by "Jr. Walker & The All-Stars" I heard, perhaps, the seed of “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” in the verse.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @12:26 Very cool
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: 🐸 🐸 🐸 Hey, I'd like some different frog emojis for the playlists. Anyone have any they could drop in the comments?
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: Is this RICK JAMES, maybe with NEIL YOUNG?
	♥ 12:38pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "It's My Time" by "Mynah Birds" I thought all the Mynah Birds' stuff went unreleased. Very cool.
	🥁 ♥ 12:39pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "It's My Time" by "Mynah Birds" On Bob’s 2009 marathon premium, Degraded Teen. Hi Bob, everyone.
	♥ 12:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" by "Chris Clark" there is a lael neale song that sounds quite a bit like the intro/chorus to this
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464, Ha, I forgot-thanks for the reminder!
	12:42pm Dave B: Really enjoy the “blue-eyed soul” from Chris Clark.
	12:43pm Dean: Free public domain frog illustrations, better than emojis! https://artvee.com/main/?s=frog
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:40 Know the song name?
	♥ 12:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:40 yes the song 'must be tears' hello bob an listeners...
	12:44pm Dave B: Guessing Neil Young is on track to release almost anything on his Archives” series these days…
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:43 thanks, will investigate that.
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:44 I'll check it out when time allows
	♥ 12:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:45 👍🏻
	1:03pm Gerry from Miami: The late DAVID RUFFIN, what voice!
	1:06pm Gerry from Miami: And you might as well throw LEVI STUBBS into the same category! Anyone remember that Mr.STUBBS was the voice of the alien, blood-thirsty plant in the movie version of "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS?"
	♥ 1:08pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob & those with good memories.

	1:16pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:06 well its what hes known for! Mean Green Mother!
	♥ 1:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:09 Yes, 1966 was top gear. I remember buying this one.www.discogs.com...
	1:17pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, JoeChrisMorris
	1:18pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Brian in UK @1:16 Sweet! So not only singles, but albums too. Nice,
	1:24pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "La La La La La" by "LaSalles" a little like Wanda Jackson!
	♥ 1:32pm chresti: www.discogs.com...

	1:39pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:17 just read in the NYT that Motowns founder (Berry Gordy) and President Carter shared a great grandfather in James T Gordy~!
	1:41pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Brian in UK @1:16 Wasn't Top Gear a radio show starting with Peel? been reading a book (Pink Floyd BBC Radio 1967-1971) talking about the early Syd sessions on the 1967 program (live takes on Reaction in G, Set the Controls, etc

	♥ 1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	♥ 1:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:41 I heard such a selection on Top Gear. Fair to say that John Peel's shows influenced my listening not only the songs but the breadth of choice. Bit like this station.
	1:54pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:39 ! indeed. I haven’t read the NYT article, but if Wikipedia is to be believed, Gordy is the great-grandson of one James Gordy and a woman he owned, whereas Jimmy Carter was the great-grandson of the same James Gordy and his legal wife.
	♥ 1:55pm ∫ydniuß: Thanks, Bob!
	♥ 1:57pm wmfromd: Great show Bob! Thanks!
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Exceptional, Bob, even by the astronomically high standard you’ve set for yourself. Everyone please stay calm and active during the final week of this strange month.

	♥ 11:26am Black Dog: Good morning, Bob! Hiya Gina! Hey, everybody!
	♥ 11:27am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Eventually" by "Ornette Coleman" Craft Records released a 2 disc set on this album and Something Else (LP, CD, SACD, and digital download) at a reasonable price-don't think the LP or SACD versions are still available, CD may be, digital download is. Remastered for sound, must have albums!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Black Dog, good morning
	11:29am Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @11:27 Wow,, they paired an Atlantic and a Contemporary? Interesting.
	♥ 11:30am doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:29 (at one point, they had a sale on a combination of the 2 SACD and 2 LP versions, which I couldn't resist).
	11:32am marc mendelson: good morning Bob sun is out here in Oakland how is N J ? BE WELL MM
	11:35am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB, and all the BRAINIACS! I was perusing the list of winners of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowships as I was listening to that early cut from ORNETTE COLEMAN. I knew he was an awardee, but several other musicians from the jazz world have also been honored, including ANTHONY BRAXTON, CECIL TAYLOR, JOHN ZORN, VIJAY IYER and others. I urge all the listeners to go to the website to see the complete list. Search for "jazz", "musician" or "composer."
	11:36am Soule: Hey, hey!
	♥ 11:37am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @11:36 Hi, Soule!
	♥ 11:39am adamdoesit: Hello Bob and brains. Tzipi the cat seems fully adjusted to her new life. She has found the precise center of the dining table, and shall not be moved from it.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hey marc mendelson, It's been real nice n cold in NJ, a little warmer today.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Hi Gerry, I'll take a look when time allows.
	11:41am Jeff: In the mid-‘70s, I went to New Music Distribution Service on Broadway near Canal. I’d been looking to buy Escalator Over The Hill for a few years and couldn’t find it in any record store. Since I lived In Brooklyn, I figured I’d go right to the source. I just showed up and asked them if I could buy it there. They said sure, and I also bought the Jazz Composers Orchestra w/Cecil Taylor and a Michael Mantler album called No Answer and one or two others.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Hey hey, Soule
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Hey adamdoes it, do not disturb.
	11:42am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Broken Barricades" by "Procol Harum" Irwin's vote for most depressing track of all time.
	11:42am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:37 Andrew! Hey, hey!
	11:42am (Mr) Bill: ↳ adamdoesit @11:39 I’m glad that Tzipi has created her own special tzone.
	11:43am Soule: ↳ Jeff @11:41 That "No Answer" is something! I wish I still had my copy.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @11:41 Great choices, Jeff. I just did mail order with them but spent a good amount of $. Well worth it.
	♥ 11:44am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:24 Morning, Andrew!
	♥ 11:44am adamdoesit: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:42 It's Tzipi's world, (Mr) Bill, we're just vitzitors.
	♥ 11:45am Gina Bacon: Thanks for this one...so great to hear them.
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: One of the most egregious snubs from the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME is PROCOL HARUM. The band's "WHITER SHADE OF PALE" was chosen as a "classic" song, but the group has never been an official inductee. Not that JANN WENNER and his HALL really matters! Just thought I would mention this fact.
	11:54am Gerry from Miami: MARY HOPKIN! Those were the days, all right!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: How did I forget to mention that MAX ROACH was a MacARTHUR FELLOWSHIP awardee? And I've always loved the vocal stylings of ABBEY LINCOLN! Thanks, BOB, for another "nugget!"

	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Morning, BPN
	♥ 12:26pm wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:19 They toured the states behind this album. I think some of Beck's cohorts were in the band as well.
	12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "(I'm a) Road Runner" by "Jr. Walker & The All-Stars" I heard, perhaps, the seed of “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” in the verse.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @12:26 Very cool
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: 🐸 🐸 🐸 Hey, I'd like some different frog emojis for the playlists. Anyone have any they could drop in the comments?

	12:44pm Dave B: Guessing Neil Young is on track to release almost anything on his Archives” series these days…
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:43 thanks, will investigate that.

	♥ 1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	♥ 1:52pm Brian in UK: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:41 I heard such a selection on Top Gear. Fair to say that John Peel's shows influenced my listening not only the songs but the breadth of choice. Bit like this station.
	1:54pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:39 ! indeed. I haven’t read the NYT article, but if Wikipedia is to be believed, Gordy is the great-grandson of one James Gordy and a woman he owned, whereas Jimmy Carter was the great-grandson of the same James Gordy and his legal wife.
