Listener comments!
9:02am : morning bob!9:04am : morning annie & everyone!9:05am : Top of the morning!9:12am : Hi Bob, listening in from London UK, its keeping me inside in the warm and out of the snow.9:17am : Nice to hear Debussy! I know that one as a piano piece.9:19am : great show already, Bob B!9:24am : this has been a phenomenal morning so far for tunes, starting from 4ish..9:26am : I am a sensitive artist and no one understands me except Bob Brainen.9:35am : I heard the blues today. Oh no.
CAPTAIN BEEFHEART HAS DIED.9:40am : Heard about CB's death last night. What a strange man he was.9:40am : They don't make 'em like that anymore.9:42am : Bob, do you anything by a 60's band called Kak?9:42am : (have) anything9:45am : Beefheart was the first one to get hippies to appreciate dissonance,9:45am : beginning of this song, only colmbe, is duplicated on a rolling stones song from her satanic majesty's request.. anybody?9:46am : Dandelion?9:48am : She's a Rainbow? Dandelion was on another lp, I think.9:50am : Loved CB's album titles.9:52am : Here I am, I always am - Thanks Bob. I saw every NY show Beefheart did during the 1981 tour (Beacon Theater and My Fathers Place)9:54am : Answer, ratbone?9:58am : Bob, who did the soundtrack to Last Tango IP?9:59am : Gato Barbrieri?10:04am : Saw The Captain at the Chance in Poughkeepsie in 1981.10:07am : jack i saw muddy waters there in 76. what a hellova show. check out mac's show this am .. beefheart extravaganza!10:09am : Don Van Vliet -- An emesser tzadik und baal moifis10:10am : If the reports of Captain Beefheart's death are indeed a hoax, then the whole world has been hoaxed -- including The New York Times, The Associated Press, NPR, and numerous usually reliable websites. Gary Lucas believes it too. The source for most if not all of the reports was the Michael Werner Gallery, which has exhibited many of Beefheart's paintings, so if this is a hoax that's who's behind it. But, alas, I think he really is dead. Which sucks.10:12am : Bought "Trout Mask Replica" in 1970 from the Caldor in Danbury, Conn. (on route 7) . The record section in that store was amazing at the time. Got most of my early LP's from them.10:16am : @Dave - I too bought most of my early records from Caldors (in Peekskill, NY) White's department store had fewer albums, but they had a dollar bin where I bought Blue Cheer, the Beach Boys and Motown albums (sometimes two or three copies!)10:18am : @annie: saw many great shows at the Chance...Taj Mahal, Todd & Utopia, Graham Parker, recently Bob Dylan...many many more.
The Beefheart show was under attended, so we stayed for both shows.10:24am : @Jack - Sounds like we are in the same general area. I was living in New Milford in 1970. Me and my High School buddies use to make "pilgrimages" to Caldor to buy albums. I bought the first "The United States of America" album there. Amazing band till they actually got busted while on stage.10:27am : Dave! I also had/have that USA album! Love it! (The Original White Album - no cover picture) Saw Joseph Byrd on TV with Frank Zappa, so I had to get the record.10:28am : Hey! It's a party!10:28am : New Milford? I moved to Sloatburg in 1968.10:29am : SmokinJ! Now it's a real party!!10:29am : He's be-boppin and skatin' all over me and IM LOSIN IT!10:30am : Yeah baby!10:31am : The beer never gets cold when it's 5 degrees out!10:32am : I mean warm:)10:33am : @Jack.- New Milford, Conn. 14 miles north of Danbury.
Dorothy Moskowitz's voice was amazing. Very light and airy. One of the great female vocalists. Joseph Byrd was related to Senator Byrd from WV10:34am : Is Wild Man Fischer still alive?10:36am : @Dave - Ah, CT. Sorry, thought you meant NJ.10:45am : Received Trout Mask as a gift for my 18th birthday from two dear (to this day) friends, and it changed my auditory nerve forever. Saw him at the Stanhope House in '81(?) a truly sublime evening. DNA opened. Farewell CB- Light the fire piano. Now now now that's it. Now you can go.10:49am : Speaking on Danbury, Conn. Laura Nyro lived there for many years. She hits me like a ton of bricks. God was good.10:49am : Happy to report that Lawrence Wayne Fischer is still alive.10:50am : I finally got a chance to listen to last weeks show last night and loved the back to back Stone Soul Picnic.
Thanks for repeat of the repeats today!10:59am : i'd love to be listening right now, but am not able... the comments section will have to do..(company in the kitchen)..
