Listener comments!
9:13am : Mulatu Astatke's track reminded me of his great show here in Belgrade two years ago. http://procedura.net1zen.com/?p=12799:16am : Rod Stewart was a great back-up singer and harmonizer.9:20am : Good morning, Bob. Debris is one of my all time favorites. It's such a touching portrait of Ronnies's relationship with his father who he obviously adored. I agree with Jack - Rod should have let Ronnie sing lead more.9:24am : anybody going to the Mavis staples show9:25am : First concert I went to: Faces/Doobie Brothers in 19729:28am : Beefheart will probably sell more records (cd's) after his death than in his lifetime. I think a lot of people are just now discovering him.9:31am : Hey Bob, nice set. Tuning in from Amsterdam...9:34am : Control plus9:35am : If you're on a mac, try going to system preferences.9:37am : Computer lessons and great tunes. I love it.9:39am : Oh, and I still have one of Kenney Jones drumsticks he threw into the crowd at the end of the concert.9:41am : Finally, the connection between Ethiopian Jazz & L.A. vatos.9:42am : oh my! love the faces
i hate the fucking doobie brothers!!!!!!
yawn...snowbound up here on the cape...woke up to screaming - thnx bob! ;]9:42am : @Emile: thanks! The "enlarge font" question came up at my computer class for seniors ( that I teach ) last week, and I couldn't get it to happen! But control plus works beautifully. Thanks again.9:52am : talk to dweezle the zappa family has unreleased captain material, an entire album never released as a matter of fact... captain recorded for frank's Straight label...9:55am : Just realized I have 6 CB songs in my itunes library, all from different VA compilations.9:55am : Bob should start calling his show The Best (music) Show9:58am : To enlarge font on Foxfire -
Hit on View
Hit on Zoom
Hit on Zoom in9:59am : Human Touch sounds exactly like someone else from that same era. But not sure who. Like a heavier (no pun intended) version of Spanky & Our Gang?10:00am : The Cake, paul...The Cake is GENIUS!!10:01am : The three-girl Cake? Remember them on the Smothers Brothers. Good call.10:02am : To Enlarge Font on Internet Explorer
Same exact sequence as Foxfire.
It appears they have actually standardized the GUI with respect to this function. Amazing that Gates allowed that to happen the way he tries to screw over competitors10:10am : Bill Harkelroad told a great story about meeting C. Mingus when he came to one of Beefhearts concerts. He went over to Mingus and expressed his appreciation for his attendance. Mingus looked through him as if he wasn't even there, said nothing and made no indication that Harkelroad was even standing in front of him. CM was STRANGE.10:13am : the proper name of the EP on Coyote was "Instant Excitement", as there was a cover of Lennon's Instant Karma on it, too.10:13am : I have to admit to having the occasional C. Mingus moment now and again with certain customers.10:14am : Aren't all jazz cats a little whacked? Half-kidding :)10:18am : The Yardbirds again! Love it.10:21am : The first supergroup without even knowing it at the time.10:21am : Wish channel 13 would play the documentary on Mingus they showed back in the early 1980's. Can't remember the name but i remember the part where CM shot a shotgun through the ceiling of his NYC apartment10:23am : as usual on sat morn out in the car running some errands this time the cleaners. heard brief mention of black sabbath at mont st col. i also seen sabbath 1970 at cinema 46 totawa nj opening band spider. and mont st was my first show blood sweat and tears with tim hardin enjoy bob and friends off to paint the bedroom10:23am : Charlie Mingus 1968 (1968)
58 min - Documentary
A close-up of bass player and composer Charlie Mingus as he and his five-year-old daughter await eviction by the City of New York.10:29am : @Paul -Thats probably it. Thanks a ton man.
The internet is great (until it takes your job and outsources it)10:30am : You're welcome. And you're right.10:31am : 1951!!!! wow!10:31am : good morning from Chicago10:32am : Hi Bob, did you ever hear Herman's Hermits' version of Jezebel? There's a great clip of them playing it (live, not lipsynch) on a TV show that definitely belies their reputation as not being capable instumentally. The Lyres also did a great version of it.
thx,
scott10:33am : I miss Chicago. Moved to Toledo last May after 28 years in Chicago.
Don't ask.10:34am : Bob thanks for improving the atmosphere here in NYC as always.10:35am : thanks to bob for getting up early and entertaining us on a cold saturday morning... i work alot of saturdays and don't get to listen often and it's always a treat...10:39am : Hey Bob, I saw NRBQ at what I'm pretty sure was their very last show with Big Al —New Year's Eve 1993-94 at Tramps. I, too, remember Al being unusually happy that night. He told me years later it was because Carlene Carter's record of one of his songs had just reached No. 1 on the country charts, but I think there was at least one other reason. Great show as always.10:44am : Winter is definitely the best season in my opinion.
So is Blood Sweat and Tears song "Sometimes in Winter" which was played on WFMU a couple weeks ago. Lou Soloffs trumpet on that LP was just so perfect.10:45am : Love this cat! Ein Prosit Ingfried!10:47am : winter of '93 was indeed HARSH!! not only 3 feet of snow - but because Big Al quit his band, my band lost its guitar player for a while10:50am : Hey SmokinJ! One of the many advantages of getting old, surely must be, enjoying Ella and Armstrong.10:51am : And then some! Good morning Paulie!10:59am : Strange... could've sworn at first it was Josh Homme from QOTSA/KYUSS but turns out to be James Murphy...11:00am : nice bob!!
