Listener comments!
9:02am : Good morning, Bob.9:04am : Good morning, Bob9:04am : ...and @David in ATL from NJ9:04am : Mornin' all! bb, you're a mind reader. Always a good idea to start your day with Arthur Lee & the Boys! :)🥁 9:04am : It ain't August until I hear "August".9:12am : Couldn't agree more, William.
There's something uplifting- and a bit mystical and, because it's Arthur Lee, a bit cryptic- about August.
Great guitar riff that leads off verse.9:15am : Sweet young thing monkeys great was dozing at work and you just woke me up good morning bob9:36am : Good morning Bob and fellow WFMU-ers. Greetings from Metuchen, NJ.9:37am : Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia. Would have been 73 today. RIP.9:42am : Good Morning Bob and everyone9:42am : eww9:43am : haha this is horrible.9:43am : Morning all!🥁 9:44am : Jim Steinman...ugh!9:45am : There are no parentheses in this song title? Kind of surprising9:48am : Was that Chris Christies campaign song?9:55am : Nice choice, Bob!9:58am : Come Saturday Morning, ah.
Beautiful, sweet song. I remember hearing this in elementary school and how it heightened my longing for that day when there was no school.
Hey, Bob, how about going on an Arthur Lee jag one of these days?10:05am : I love that NRBQ track with Skeeter. She adds a whole extra dimension!10:10am : I seem to recall that the Gilligan's Island theme song was recorded by The Welingtons but I remember it was re-done to include the Professor and Mary Ann!10:11am : I always thought of Sterile Cuckoo as being as close as we'll ever get to a movie version of Catcher in the Rye10:14am : Are either of you referring to the calypso theme song used on the unaired pilot?10:14am : Yeah I think you're right Tim on G's Island. Sounds like the Sandpipers, but I guess many of those smooth harmony groups sound alike.10:15am : I wasn't Listener Robert-is it available?10:18am : I've never heard the calypso version but wouldn't mind hearing it! Ever since Bob and Pete T spun that Van Dyke Parks track I've got calypso tunes in my head!!🥁 10:20am : Really nice ti hear this new Banana stuff.10:20am : Hi Bob, your opener today was as certain as the sun's rise. Enjoying the show as always.10:32am : As bob's fine segues go, this Debussy into Dragonfly is especially fine.10:35am : Bare Trees too, which is a fantastic LP10:38am : www.youtube.com... for the original unaired Gilligan's Is. opening.10:42am : How it got out, apparently -- www.youtube.com...10:47am : This one has the opening & CLOSING -- www.youtube.com...10:50am : Is Dragonfly on any of the Mac albums?
Laura Nyro- maybe a Laura Nyro jag these next couple of months?🥁 10:51am : I have Dragonfly on an old Greatest Hits U.K. import.
