Listener comments!
9:03am : You are now about to begin . . . a great adventure . . . a journey out of your mind9:04am : It happens every week!
Good morning, Bob and fellow music enthusiasts.9:04am : good morning indeeeedos9:04am : Good morning Bob and fellow FMU'ers. Greetings from Noo Joizey....9:06am : Hi Bob, Dr. Tim, and out-of-minders9:07am : Good Morning Everyone.9:07am : Entrancing out of the gate. Gate covered w/ baroque intoxicating vines, methinks. Good Saturday all.9:08am : Hendrix on this Little Richard?9:14am : lady in the morning-very fine choice, bob9:24am : Morning! Always nice to start a Saturday w/Sandy.9:29am : it would take a heart of stone not to smile at that bill haley number9:40am : A warning to all listeners with large music collections.
Don't let your music room get cluttered. Put every album or cd back in their place after you are done listening to it. I've been lazy for years and I'm paying the price. Cleaning up my music room has been a real fiasco. Not finding things that I know I have. Many, many hours of time consuming work. I'm finally almost done and I vow to not let this happen again.
Trust me on this.9:41am : Bob, it started when I found out I had that Kinks Village Green Preservation Society box set and did not know I even had it in my collection.9:45am : bob, jeff beck fans appreciate you for showing the old 'technician' some love-thx9:48am : David,
Often I envy you guys who've amassed these endless collections of music, all nook and crannish with odd delights.
And then I think of the space nightmare and the presence of mind needed to keep things in order, and I'm really grateful I can tap the iPad on Saturday and get Bob's collection sounding in my ears hassle free.9:48am : "I'm a Man", all-time classic that it is, still sounds even better when followed by the "Great Shakes" spot.9:54am : Great set this morning, Bob. Thanks much.9:54am : OK, so who's on guitar here with Norvo? Tal Farlow? Or?..9:55am : @ Stuart: It is madness. I'm old school. Simply love the artwork, etc. Mentally, I'm a little Monk-ish (TV show) so clutter in the music room drives me insane.
The reason why it has been years since I've been in the room as I too usually listen to WFMU 100% of my listening time and I kind of let things slide.9:57am : Yeah Bob, good set!9:57am : Wow! Party Secombe! Have not heard it in decades. Thanks!9:59am : Killin' it this morning, Bob!10:06am : I'm confused. Jim Dickenson was born in 1941.10:08am : Love Billie Holiday in the morning...Great music selections!10:12am : I recently saw this documentary about the Norton Juster/Jules Feiffer book, filmed half a century after it was published!
phantomtollboothdoc.vhx.tv10:13am : Party Secombe must be a reference to Harry Secombe from the Goon Show.10:16am : Wooooah neat song. WFMU never ends.10:16am : Ah, the ubiquitous Barney Kessel! Thanks Bob.
Norvo was a brilliant, influential musician, and also notable for playing with an a amazing succession of the very best guitarists in his various combos over the years.
"The Phantom Tollbooth" is an animated feature directed by Chuck Jones, adapted from an absolutely brilliant "young adult's" novel by the one and only Jules Feiffer(!) -and well worth reading at any age...10:20am : Bob, I think you confused Jim with his son, Luther. Jim absolutely produced Beale Street Saturday Night.10:20am : debussy--wow, did not see that coming--beautiful10:20am : @David Shortell: thanks for the link, I don't think I've seen this documentary, I'll check it out.10:22am : YES! Of course Jim Dickinson-now it makes sense. Thanks for that, U.M. / Hey all!10:26am : Wonderwall can be watched online, probably for a limited time.
(Warning: it's a bore!)
www.youtube.com...10:28am : WFMU = Imaginary Radio!10:34am : Thanks for the Linda Ronstadt/Stone Poneys selection. She will send me soaring for the rest of the day. THE VOICE......10:42am : @P-90
Monmouth University screened it last fall, around the time I read the newly released "Kill My Mother", which the publishers touted as Feiffer's first graphic novel (Didn't 1979's "Tantrum" count?).10:49am : Roy Byrd, aka Professor Longhair, no?10:51am : Bob, the Jazz selections this morning are perfect. As usual, everything is interwoven so naturally. Brainen the sonic weaver.10:53am : Late to comment but listening all morning. Dug that version of 13 women. Thanks for the tunes bob10:59am : Hearing "Thirteen Women" always reminds me of this scene from Luchino Visconti's "White Nights".
Go, Marcello, go!
