Listener comments!

12:02pm Cecile:

chairman of the board deep cut! awesome

12:04pm Cecile:

Flaming Groovies as a second language!

12:06pm Joe B:

Hi Cecile! thanks for tuning in/commenting! I cant believe I never heard that Chairmen tune before!

12:06pm Joe B:

Hi Everyone! If you can, please pledge to support our Silent Fundraiser by using the pledge box at the top of the page! We're not interrupting our programming a second time, but we DO need your support. Thanks!

12:09pm dc p:

pretty deadly cover by the Grip Weeds

12:09pm John L:

Sun is out, doors are open and and I have the volume cranked up to, well, 2. I wouldn't think the world needed another version of "Shakin' All Over." I was just proved wrong.

12:10pm Cecile:

I know it cause it's on their first album which I found a million years ago. It also has a decent version of Come Together. It was more of a regional hit. Also great by the Chairman is "The Days of Fairytales and Pigtails". Not sung by General Johnson, but still great.

12:10pm dc p:

wow, live too!

12:11pm Cecile:

Greg Cartwright is my short-term personal savior.

12:11pm Joe B:

Wow, cool, thanks for the info. wiki says it reached 38 on the hot 100. on the record fair shopping list!

12:13pm Cecile:

Joe, they had the H-D-H writing for them, and also the General and three strong lead singers, who also contributed material. 1st album doesn't have a lot of filler.

12:13pm dc p:

John L--thinking exactly the same thing.

12:15pm ?:

If anyone gets a change to see Reigning Sound, do it. I think they are one of the best live acts there is right now. Joe B is great.

12:18pm Dan Eletxro:

Rocking the BEE-lock in the bike shop! Go Joe Go! Missed you at Maxwell's!

12:18pm Cecile:

KILLER cover

12:20pm Bad Ronald:

Hello Joe and the TCM faithful. Absolutely smoking opening set, Belock Rocks!

12:20pm Joe B:

Gonna have Reigning Sound tickets for the Bell House later on in the show!

12:21pm Joe B:

Cecile, I did know the H-D-H connection!

12:21pm Joe B:

believe me Dan, wish i could have been there! Hope all is well!

12:21pm Cecile:

The Chairmen's first record also has their "elizabeth I'm coming to join you" version of "Patches"

12:22pm Cecile:

Bait Car!

12:24pm Bryan D:

Hey Joe, be the first to announce breaking news!! Barrence Whitfield and the Savages are staying at my house for two weeks while recording a new LP!!!

12:25pm Cecile:

12:28pm Billy Jam:

12:29pm HEAT:

12:31pm HEAT:

REIGNING SOUND REIGNS

12:40pm dc p:

12:42pm Joe B:

12:48pm Joe B:

Hi HEAT! thanks for tuning in!

12:52pm HEAT:

Thanks for playing the music gems!

12:52pm Joe B:

Hi John L! hope I am not scaring away any customers!

12:53pm CP:

Diamond Rugs - Echoes of Travelin' Man - Ricky Nelson

12:54pm Bryan D:

Savages are in the studio as we speak! See at the Black From The Grave show?

12:54pm Joe B:

Hi CP, great point!

12:56pm dc p:

huh. Eric Vermillion is from Camp Hill, PA.

12:59pm dc p:

BARRENCE!

1:00pm dc p:

SHE'S THE GIRL FROM OUTER SPACE!

1:01pm Cecile:

NICE

1:01pm John L:

Someone bought the BWST because you were playing it.

1:01pm mike tp:

real strong n standin strait up/. ramblin rose

1:02pm Cheri Pi:

CINCINNATI!!

1:04pm dc p:

he was in Stump Wizards too. Didn't know he was in the Steel Miners...

1:07pm Cecile:

Is this that song from Chase!?!?!?!?!

1:08pm CP:

Nice cover of Jim Peterik and Ides of March. Same guy who wrote Eye of the Tiger and .38 Special hits.

1:08pm CP:

Peterik was in Chase.

1:09pm Cecile:

Ides of March, kind of in same vein...

1:09pm Cecile:

nice coincidence there....

1:10pm Mike East:

WOO! Superhits of the 70's!!!

1:10pm Joe B:

Hey Mike TP! Hi Cheri Pi! sounds like a wild weekend in Cincy!

1:10pm CP:

That's why you're a Accuplaylist 'Preferred Veteran' Cecile.

1:10pm Joe B:

I love the pre hit Ides of March stuff, several 45s on the Parrot label

1:12pm CP:

Cincy ... home of The Lemon Pipers and Afghan Whigs. Doris Day!

Joe ... wasn't Parrot a London label subsidiary?

RIP Gerry Rafferty

1:12pm Cecile:

hahhahahhaha, CP.

You know there's something really bracing about that 70s horn rock.

1:14pm Cecile:

joe is having a Santana moment!
AWESOME.

1:15pm Cecile:

Nice cover!

1:19pm geokopp:

That mike shelley cd is so fun!!

1:24pm CP:

Man, is this Buck a breath of fresh air. Thanks. I'm suddenly mindful of Merle and Dwight and the Bakersfield gang. Dare I say you could veer a few degrees left and flirt with Poco territory ... first LP only. Belock, may they Pledge bountifully for you.

1:27pm John L:

I thought you were going to play "Dirty Laundry" next and make it a conceptual set.

1:28pm Joe B:

Hi George and Mike East! John, that would have been great! I actually dont mind that LP. I have played a cut from it before on FMU

1:29pm Joe B:

CP, I was not even aware of Buck's WB 70s recordings unti lrecently. some cool stuff on there.

1:30pm John L:

I think you may have scared out the guy who bought the Mercyful Fate, Manowar and Anthrax cds.

1:30pm Cecile:

got blasters?

1:30pm Joe B:

as long as he paid while running out the door!

1:32pm John L:

But Mikey, from Orange County Choppers, seemed to dig it. He took down the call letters.

1:34pm Cecile:

YES.
that's what I wanted to hear!

1:35pm Cecile:

what is this with the OC choppers and used CDs and Anthrax and...?

1:35pm CP:

I want to hear Yes!

1:36pm dc p:

Yes I want to hear.

1:38pm Cecile:

George Jones did the only version of a James Taylor song I could stomach. I think 1/2 of it is a good arrangement and a non squig making singer.

1:40pm John L:

Hi Cecile. I have a record store in the NY Hudson Valley, and I listen to Joe's show at work.

1:41pm Cecile:

nooooo, I loved him.

CP: Remember that TV movie when he was an Olympic wrestler who snuck over the Berlin wall to meet his commie gymnast girlfriend?

1:41pm Cecile:

ahhhhhhh! Excellent.

1:41pm BadGuyZero (Dallas, TX):

There's a 10-inch called "Buck Owens Sings The Eagles" that's coming out on November 23. It's one of the Record Store Day Black Friday releases and will be limited to 1,200 copies with a suggested retail of $15.99.

1:42pm Cecile:

thanks BGZ!

1:47pm Cecile:

movie is called "The 500 pound jerk"

1:47pm dc p:

this set is killin, Joe. Hanx.

1:49pm pierre:

Salut tout le monde !!

1:52pm John L:

An early Todd Rundgren song would not be out of place.

1:54pm Joe B:

good call John, sorry I didnt see it in time!

1:54pm Joe B:

bonjour pierre!

thanks dc pat!

1:55pm CP:

Cecile, don't know the 500 Lb. Jerk. Loving this recent HBO doc about the Klitschko brothers. Boxers from Russia. Also into The Changeling with George C. Scott.

1:55pm Joe B:

Hmmm, one whole pledge today! was hoping to do a little better! if anyone can kick in, it'd be greatly appreciated!

1:55pm PKNY:

I just got the Rodriguez "Coming to Reality" LP in the mail the other day, but haven't had a chance to give it a listen. Must make that a priority tonight, thanks for playing!

1:56pm Chinchilla:

wow this is great, gonna have to look into Rodriguez

2:01pm Joe B:

the only Yes records I like was their mid 80s sellout period, the two albums all their fans don't like!

2:02pm Cecile:

gotta go for a bit, dang it. Be back in a bit.

2:02pm Joe B:

anyone see the Rodriguez movie? getting kind of tired of every band that ever existed having adocumentary but he definitely warrants one!

2:03pm John L:

Are Bono or Rollins in it? They seem to be in every other one.

2:05pm CP:

Trevor Rabin-era Yes? Say it ain't so, Joe.

2:11pm Joe B:

sorry CP, it's the only stuff I can listen to by that band!

2:12pm CP:

Wow. Nice Del cover. Really sounds like him and those old Bigtop-label records. RIP Del.

2:15pm Joe B:

Dunno John, I haven't seen it!

2:17pm John L:

I saw Yes when I was 13 or 14. I was so bored I fell asleep. And no drugs or alcohol were involved. Although in the Nassau Coliseum, in 1973, a contact high was probable. It took a few years, but most of my prog-leanings were purged.

2:20pm HEAT:

@John L what is the name of your store in the hudson valley?

2:21pm John L:

Jack's Rhythms in New Paltz.

2:25pm HEAT:

awesome! I live in the capital district, but I will have to stop in the next time I am in New Paltz

2:30pm pierre:

THIS IS BRILLIANT !!!
Thanks Joe !

2:31pm dc p:

YEAH BLIND SHAKE!

2:32pm Parq:

A band called "The Blind Shake"? Cool.

2:35pm Joe B:

thanks to Iikka in Helsinki Finland for the pledge!

don't be shy, you can pledge also! see the link at the top of the playlist page!

2:36pm Ludlow:

John L. - One must have the capacity to appreciate prog. "To scorn virtuoisty is to champion mediocrity."

2:46pm John L:

Ludlow,I still have a fondness for King Crimson, early Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator and some Strawbs. They just don't figure into much of my day to day listening.
