	12:04pm Tony Coulter: The lineup of Soft Machine we are hearing now is the one in the photo above the playlist (w/ Daevid Allen in specs)

	🥁 12:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ISTHMUS!

	12:06pm Tony Coulter: .... Daevid Allen in GIANT specs, I mean....
	12:07pm Cecile: this is nice, but I need three chords and feedback today. I'm beat. Have a wonderful show, all!
	12:08pm Tony Coulter: Ah well -- see you, Cecile!
	12:09pm Doug Schulkind: Coulterbury!
	12:09pm Chris from DC: Sneaks in quietly, takes newly opened place
	12:09pm Cecile: Always!
	12:10pm Tony Coulter: Doug! Chris! Hullo dere....
	12:11pm Dean: Hillage, naturally!
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: Hey Dean! Yep, Hillage, Dave Stewart, and Mont Campbell
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: in other woids, embryonic Egg (minus Hillage)
	12:13pm Dean: They had just graduated from preschool.
	12:14pm Tony Coulter: vocals on this Henry Cow track by Fred Frith!!
	12:14pm Carmichael: I didn't know Henry Cow were from Canterbury. Must have been fooled by the obscure reference to Henry Cowell.
	12:15pm Shaun: Kenty!
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael: Henry Cow formed in Cambridge, but are very much entangled with the Canterbury scene
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Shaun!
	12:16pm Jeff g.: I feel like school is in session. Fun school.
	12:17pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Jeff G! Please untangle me if I get too wrapped up in family trees....
	12:17pm Dean: Buddy of mine has a great photo of Frith blowing rice across the strings of his guitar: http://bit.ly/1GuFuKT
	12:18pm Shaun: Cheers, Tony. Looking forward to the voyage.
	12:19pm Dean: The family tree aspect of the Canterbury scene is part of its charm. I recall hearing in a now defunct record store in Downey, CA, a pre-first LP National Health with Bruford drumming. Would love to verify.
	12:20pm Tony Coulter: @ Dean: Verification ahead, later in the show!
	12:21pm Dean: Speaking of Bruford, this Ayers chord progression was aped on Absolute Elsewhere's album.
	12:21pm Flash Strap: Lovin Ayers these days, excited about the show. Hi Tony!
	12:21pm V Priceless: can't get enough Ayers, ever.
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Flash Strap!
	12:24pm V Priceless: @ Tony - did you see Ayers years back when he did a solo show @ Maxwells? Forget the year...late 90's?
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Unfortunately, no, I missed that.
	12:25pm V Priceless: whoa...it was '93!
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: Banana Moon Band was Daevid Allen's group post–Soft Machine and pre-Gong
	🥁 12:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I smell muffins in the distance ...?
	12:31pm JtotheK: hi everybody!
	12:36pm V Priceless: excuse me while I....WOO!
	12:37pm Tony Coulter: "Joy of a Toy" was Ayer's first solo release AFTER leaving Soft Machine (think my mouth may have said "prior to leaving" without checking with my brain first).
	12:37pm Flash Strap: God damn I love Robert Wyatt's voice. That little voice turned me socialist
	12:37pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Sir JtotheK!
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: BIG thanks to listener/commenter supreme Dean for his generous pledge!!
	12:39pm Dean: Wish I could spare more, really.
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: .... and GIANT thanks also to streammate and super DJ host Gary Sullivan!!!
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: plus, ENORMOUS thanks to listener Joe of Brooklyn for his staggeringly generous pledge!!!! THANKS, JOE!!
	12:43pm βrian: So does the socialism cause the Brooklyn accent, or is it the reverse?
	12:46pm Dean: Good lord, this album includes a tune by Keith Jarrett!
	12:47pm Jeff Golick: ...that quote...Horace Silver...?
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: Canterbury stalwarts Phil Miller and Pip Pyle were both in Delivery ... along with Steve Miller and Lol Coxhill. Yes on the Jarrett (not this tune, of course).
	12:48pm Dean: Roy Babbington, too. And Robert Stigwood was a co-producer.
	12:48pm Flash Strap: are you saying I have a brooklyn accent, Brian? 'cause that would be a new one for me
	12:48pm Dean: [Oops. Getting into the genealogical weeds.]
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: It's hard to resist....
	12:50pm Chris from DC: Have not heard Delivery before. Nice.
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: There it goes again...
	🥁 12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: EGG!
	12:52pm Carmichael: In case anyone's interested: www.macgraphic.co.jp...
	12:52pm Dean: Beyond Barbara Gaskin's cover of "It's My Party," I know very little about post-70s Dave Stewart.
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: @ Jeff G: Horace Silver, you mean? You would know better than me....
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: Yeah. Gah. Gotta work on that.
	12:53pm βrian: Oh, you know. All things socialist imply Bernie to folks in flyover land. (I have a friend who works for him and so does a great Bernie impression.)
	12:54pm Kay: I like Barbara Gaskin's group Spyrogyra - that's not Canterbury, is it?
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: Hi Kay! I thought of playing Spyrogyra (who I like a lot too), but decided they just sound too unrelated, despite the links...
	12:55pm Dean: Spirogyra is new to me, but a little bird tells me yes, they're from Kent.
	12:56pm Kay: Do Jethro Tull have any Canterbury ties? Because Passion Play has lots of soprano sax and kind of reminds me of the sound, plus two side-filling songs (Parts I and II, I believe).
	12:56pm Tony Coulter: I'd say no on that one -- but, of course, there could be some influence at work.
	12:57pm Flash Strap: @Brian: Ah yes, I follow you!
	12:58pm V Priceless: love this Egg rekkid...I met Roy Babbington..swell guy..still doing Soft Machine Legacy with John Etheridge, Theo Travis, etc. - John Marshall, too, I think. Saw them play in 2014 with Mark Fletcher filling in on drums - whoa!
	12:59pm Dean: Would love to hear Holdsworth era Soft Machine, too.
	1:00pm Dean: I'm always humming "Hazard Profile" in the car when I'm driving around with the kids. They now know the riff if not the provenance.
	🥁 1:02pm listener james from westwood: Lovely stuff so far at the 1-hour mark!
	1:02pm Flash Strap: Yeah, this is a killer show
	1:02pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Listener J!
	1:02pm Chris from DC: One of the weirder things I've seen was Alan Holdsworth and the Ramones back to back at an outdoor show. The Ramones fans were...impatient.
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: ... and Flash Strap!!
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: A bunch of free jazzers appear on this first Gong album, including Burton Greene!
	1:06pm Tony Coulter: HEY, EVERYONE: Don't forget to pledge if you can -- the station need your help. The coffers are near empty at the moment -- it's Cap'n Crunch time fer sure....
	1:07pm V Priceless: 'A Visit To Newport Hospital' is also a favorite of that old hippie, Captain Sensible - thus reinforcing the much-maligned 'punk / prog' connection (of course, I say 'old hippie' with much tongue-in-cheek admiration for the man)!
	1:14pm Carmichael: How did I know this was Gong before I even looked?!
	1:14pm βrian: C'est marrant, ça.
	1:15pm Flash Strap: this is amazing
	1:16pm βrian: 17.8 centimeter vinyl.
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: Ame Son = Daevid Allen's Banana Moon Band - Daevid Allen.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Rich from Washington for his super pledge! Thanks, Rich!
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: ... and ENORMO-THANKS to listener Vince from Glen Cove!! Hurray for Vince!!!!!
	1:28pm Brian in UK: Hello Tony. In the Land of Grey & Punk anyone.
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: Dasheill Hedayat = Melmoth. He is backed by Gong on this album -- and even William Burroughs puts in an appearance! Burroughs and Daevid Allen were buddies in the early '60s.
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Brian!! More Caravan later, actually....
	1:31pm βrian: I wish there were scrolling lyrics with a bouncing ball ...
	1:32pm V Priceless: you are more than welcome, TC! Fab show!
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, VP of Glen Cove!!!
	1:35pm Rich in Washington: I destroyed my keyboard by pouring too much coffee into it. Finally able to type something again.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Talking about quotes (like Jeff G was), was that Juliet of the Spirits at the end of the Dashiell Hedayat track? I know it was Nino Rota....
	1:37pm Dean: L-o-v-e Supersister. And yet I missed them when they played a prog fest not too long ago in, of all places, La Mirada, CA.
	1:37pm Tony Coulter: @ Rich: Yikes! Your letters do look a little jittery and over-caffeinated....
	1:38pm Flash Strap: I thought I heard that too, Tony, but wasn't sure
	1:38pm Stanley: Just tuning in. What a great idea for a show, Tony.
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Stanley! Glad you made it....
	1:40pm βrian: That's a nice voice.
	1:41pm Flash Strap: I had an epiphany the other night that Kevin Ayers sounds exactly like Robert Webb
	1:41pm V Priceless: great live version w/Whole World band: www.youtube.com...
	1:41pm Flash Strap: And looks like Helen Mirren.
	1:43pm βrian: Definitely not Jack Webb.
	1:44pm Brian in UK: Stanley, just saw this and thought of you forthcoming sojourn southwards. www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk...
	1:48pm Tony Coulter: Steve Miller (of Delivery) is the keyboard player on this Caravan album.
	1:49pm Carmichael: Was Richard Sinclair gone by then?
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: Slowly being driven insane by my inability to nail down the jazz tune that "Miserable Man" copped from...
	1:50pm Flash Strap: love Matching Mole
	1:50pm Dean: Wasn't Sinclair on the live album w/ orchestra, post-WL?
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael: No, Richard Sinclair was still in the band at that point. Dave Sinclair was gone, though ... to Matching Mole (on now)! In fact, he wrote "O Caroline"
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ Dean: You mean Dave Sinclair? Yes, he returned to the fold.
	1:52pm Jeff Golick: @Flash Strap: me, too. (I actually played "O Caroline" yesterday!)
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ Jeff G: Now you know why they called the tune "Miserable Man."
	1:53pm 836: Ah, yes, David. Richard's cousin, no? Pleased to have seen Richard with Camel live, if never with National Health or Hatfield.
	1:54pm Stanley: Hi Brian - that's great, I had a shuftie and it looks just up my street and also, should be of interest of my friend (aka e12 on these boards) who is stuying drawing in London. Thanks mate, I'll put it into the programme.
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: Yep, the Sinclairs were cousins.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: HEY!! We need a few more pledges before the end of the show. Please help out station and stream if you can....
	1:58pm Carmichael: I was talking about keyboard Sinclair, not to be confused with bassist Sinclair. I also have a live DVD that must be mid 80s or so, with both Sinclairs, Pye & Jimmy Hastings, and the original drummer. They do a stellar Nine Feet Underground.
	1:59pm Dean: Back in the day a Long Beach FM station had a weekly progressive rock show for which various "Space Shanty" tracks served as intro- and outro- music.
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart were both in Khan. It was sort of a reformation of Arzachel/Uriel.
	2:00pm Dean: I remember buying the album at a Wherehouse for, what, $2.99?, out of the import section. Have it to this day.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: My copy of the Khan LP is German, on Brain Records.
	2:06pm Brian in UK: Here is another Sinclair circa mid Eighties. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:07pm Brian in UK: Where is Canterbury Elf?
	2:07pm Peter Nelson: @Brian...just a matter of time before someone brought that up....
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hey Peter!!
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: England in the house....
	2:09pm Peter Nelson: Hey Tony. Hey all. Just play me Robert Wyatt all day...
	2:10pm Brian in UK: It will be Bond Bugs next.
	2:11pm Brian in UK: I had a pair of solar flares made of suede.
	2:12pm Dean: @Jeff G.: I hate to say this, but the Delivery tune to me echoes a much later recording. From about 3:05 for ten seconds or so I hear the cadence that pervades "Synchronicity II" by The Police, decidedly NOT a Canterbury band.
	2:12pm Tony Coulter: Here's another French Canterbury-influenced band for you....
	2:12pm Dean: So what's moving? The gelatin or the plates?
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: Both!
	2:15pm Franklin Engelmann: Todays Down Your Way comes from the historic town of Canterbury in Kent.
	2:15pm Tony Coulter: Super-fuzzed-out bass is certainly a Canterbury trademark....
	2:16pm Tony Coulter: ... thanks to Hugh Hopper, of course....
	2:20pm Dean: For crying out loud, I have this record! What are liner notes for?
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Franklin!
	2:22pm coelacanth: Thank you Tony Great show!
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: You're welcome, coelacanth! Glad you're enjoying it!
	2:26pm Tony Coulter: Everyone, don't forget your gimpy old pal, WFMU. Please throw some coins into the cup so the station can get a new wooden leg.
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: No "Tape Hiss" next week, by the way. I'll be doing a horn rock/brass rock special instead. Do not be afraid!
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: ... at last: The Northettes!!
	2:39pm V Priceless: Tony: Isn't there a Southerland Bros. & Quiver connection to Hatfield & The North?
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: Hatfield and the North and South, you mean? You stumped me there, VP.
	2:43pm V Priceless: yeah..forget that - I yam mistaken...next...
	2:44pm northguineahills: Ugh, our landlord raised our rent 12.5% w/o have us signing a lease beforehand. So, now, I'm in the middle of fighting said rent increase until given a legal bonding document that gives our consent to said increase.
	2:45pm ?: "horn rock/brass rock special" - NOT CHICAGO LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL VOL 1-4! I hope!
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Ugh, indeed. Very sorry to hear that NGH.
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: Rhesus O were yet another Canterbury-influenced French band. There were so many....
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: @ ?: There will be some Chicago in there -- can't be helped! I'll make it painless, though, I promise.
	2:48pm V Priceless: Tony: any Brooklyn Bridge, I hope?
	2:48pm Dean: Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Apocalypse" has a horn section, too.
	2:49pm Guido from Cologne: Beautiful music!
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Guido!! Glad you were listening....
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: Mahavishnu and Brooklyn Bridge may be in the cards next week ... we shall see....
	2:52pm V Priceless: lots of great deep cuts on some of those Brooklyn Bridge LPs...wink wink, nudge nudge....
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: I don't actually own them, but we'll see what I can turn up before next Tuesday.
	2:53pm Dean: I'm sure you'll find somebody willing to sell you a Brooklyn Bridge album.
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	2:55pm V Priceless: haha..perhaps a Buddah!
	2:55pm Carmichael: Cold Blood, Tony.
	2:56pm nfrae: Great program! Thanks!
	2:56pm Stanley: I clicked the whole damn show! Thanks Tony, great stuff.
	🥁 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for the fine show, Tony!
	2:56pm V Priceless: Thanks Tony! Super-Duper show!
	2:56pm Dean: Yes, Cold Blood. I kept thinking Lucifer's Friend had a horn section, but no. One of the band members is Dieter Horns.
	2:56pm Peter Nelson: Eclectic Music For Mind And Bodhi next:wfmu.org... 10 Year Anniversary Show!!
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everyone -- for listening, commenting, and pledging!! See you all next week....
	3:04pm MarieD: Vous ette l'homme, Tony. Splendido, fantastico, Merci!!!
	8:39am the Canterbury wood-elf: A great show, really nice overview (with a few surprises). If anyone's interested in exploring this "Canterbury" thing further, I put together a series of 28 three-hour podcasts which you can find here: canterburysoundwaves.blogspot.com (episode links in the right-hand sidebar)
	10:45pm Will: Deep show, thanks Tony. Would like to see FOLLIES Vol. 2, 3 and 4 since I bet you have lots of goodies we Canterbury-o-philes need to hear. Out here, Will J Pawtucket
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: FINALLY asked Twitter what that "Miserable Man" quote was, and kindly got an answer: the melody at 0:17 on is from Coltrane's "Mr. Syms," from his Coltrane Plays the Blues record. PHEWF!

	12:36pm V Priceless: excuse me while I....WOO!
	12:37pm Tony Coulter: "Joy of a Toy" was Ayer's first solo release AFTER leaving Soft Machine (think my mouth may have said "prior to leaving" without checking with my brain first).
	12:37pm Flash Strap: God damn I love Robert Wyatt's voice. That little voice turned me socialist
	12:37pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Sir JtotheK!
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: BIG thanks to listener/commenter supreme Dean for his generous pledge!!
	12:39pm Dean: Wish I could spare more, really.
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: .... and GIANT thanks also to streammate and super DJ host Gary Sullivan!!!
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: plus, ENORMOUS thanks to listener Joe of Brooklyn for his staggeringly generous pledge!!!! THANKS, JOE!!
	12:43pm βrian: So does the socialism cause the Brooklyn accent, or is it the reverse?
	12:46pm Dean: Good lord, this album includes a tune by Keith Jarrett!
	12:47pm Jeff Golick: ...that quote...Horace Silver...?
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: Canterbury stalwarts Phil Miller and Pip Pyle were both in Delivery ... along with Steve Miller and Lol Coxhill. Yes on the Jarrett (not this tune, of course).
	12:48pm Dean: Roy Babbington, too. And Robert Stigwood was a co-producer.
	12:48pm Flash Strap: are you saying I have a brooklyn accent, Brian? 'cause that would be a new one for me
	12:48pm Dean: [Oops. Getting into the genealogical weeds.]
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: It's hard to resist....
	12:50pm Chris from DC: Have not heard Delivery before. Nice.
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: There it goes again...
	🥁 12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: EGG!
	12:52pm Carmichael: In case anyone's interested: www.macgraphic.co.jp...
	12:52pm Dean: Beyond Barbara Gaskin's cover of "It's My Party," I know very little about post-70s Dave Stewart.
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: @ Jeff G: Horace Silver, you mean? You would know better than me....
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: Yeah. Gah. Gotta work on that.
	12:53pm βrian: Oh, you know. All things socialist imply Bernie to folks in flyover land. (I have a friend who works for him and so does a great Bernie impression.)
	12:54pm Kay: I like Barbara Gaskin's group Spyrogyra - that's not Canterbury, is it?
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: Hi Kay! I thought of playing Spyrogyra (who I like a lot too), but decided they just sound too unrelated, despite the links...
	12:55pm Dean: Spirogyra is new to me, but a little bird tells me yes, they're from Kent.
	12:56pm Kay: Do Jethro Tull have any Canterbury ties? Because Passion Play has lots of soprano sax and kind of reminds me of the sound, plus two side-filling songs (Parts I and II, I believe).
	12:56pm Tony Coulter: I'd say no on that one -- but, of course, there could be some influence at work.
	12:57pm Flash Strap: @Brian: Ah yes, I follow you!
	12:58pm V Priceless: love this Egg rekkid...I met Roy Babbington..swell guy..still doing Soft Machine Legacy with John Etheridge, Theo Travis, etc. - John Marshall, too, I think. Saw them play in 2014 with Mark Fletcher filling in on drums - whoa!
	12:59pm Dean: Would love to hear Holdsworth era Soft Machine, too.
	1:00pm Dean: I'm always humming "Hazard Profile" in the car when I'm driving around with the kids. They now know the riff if not the provenance.
	🥁 1:02pm listener james from westwood: Lovely stuff so far at the 1-hour mark!
	1:02pm Flash Strap: Yeah, this is a killer show
	1:02pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Listener J!
	1:02pm Chris from DC: One of the weirder things I've seen was Alan Holdsworth and the Ramones back to back at an outdoor show. The Ramones fans were...impatient.
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: ... and Flash Strap!!
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: A bunch of free jazzers appear on this first Gong album, including Burton Greene!
	1:06pm Tony Coulter: HEY, EVERYONE: Don't forget to pledge if you can -- the station need your help. The coffers are near empty at the moment -- it's Cap'n Crunch time fer sure....
	1:07pm V Priceless: 'A Visit To Newport Hospital' is also a favorite of that old hippie, Captain Sensible - thus reinforcing the much-maligned 'punk / prog' connection (of course, I say 'old hippie' with much tongue-in-cheek admiration for the man)!
	1:14pm Carmichael: How did I know this was Gong before I even looked?!
	1:14pm βrian: C'est marrant, ça.
	1:15pm Flash Strap: this is amazing
	1:16pm βrian: 17.8 centimeter vinyl.
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: Ame Son = Daevid Allen's Banana Moon Band - Daevid Allen.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: BIG THANKS to Rich from Washington for his super pledge! Thanks, Rich!
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: ... and ENORMO-THANKS to listener Vince from Glen Cove!! Hurray for Vince!!!!!
	1:28pm Brian in UK: Hello Tony. In the Land of Grey & Punk anyone.
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: Dasheill Hedayat = Melmoth. He is backed by Gong on this album -- and even William Burroughs puts in an appearance! Burroughs and Daevid Allen were buddies in the early '60s.
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Brian!! More Caravan later, actually....
	1:31pm βrian: I wish there were scrolling lyrics with a bouncing ball ...
	1:32pm V Priceless: you are more than welcome, TC! Fab show!
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, VP of Glen Cove!!!
	1:35pm Rich in Washington: I destroyed my keyboard by pouring too much coffee into it. Finally able to type something again.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Talking about quotes (like Jeff G was), was that Juliet of the Spirits at the end of the Dashiell Hedayat track? I know it was Nino Rota....
	1:37pm Dean: L-o-v-e Supersister. And yet I missed them when they played a prog fest not too long ago in, of all places, La Mirada, CA.
	1:37pm Tony Coulter: @ Rich: Yikes! Your letters do look a little jittery and over-caffeinated....
	1:38pm Flash Strap: I thought I heard that too, Tony, but wasn't sure
	1:38pm Stanley: Just tuning in. What a great idea for a show, Tony.
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Stanley! Glad you made it....
	1:40pm βrian: That's a nice voice.
	1:41pm Flash Strap: I had an epiphany the other night that Kevin Ayers sounds exactly like Robert Webb
	1:41pm V Priceless: great live version w/Whole World band: www.youtube.com...
	1:41pm Flash Strap: And looks like Helen Mirren.
	1:43pm βrian: Definitely not Jack Webb.
	1:44pm Brian in UK: Stanley, just saw this and thought of you forthcoming sojourn southwards. www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk...
	1:48pm Tony Coulter: Steve Miller (of Delivery) is the keyboard player on this Caravan album.
	1:49pm Carmichael: Was Richard Sinclair gone by then?
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: Slowly being driven insane by my inability to nail down the jazz tune that "Miserable Man" copped from...
	1:50pm Flash Strap: love Matching Mole
	1:50pm Dean: Wasn't Sinclair on the live album w/ orchestra, post-WL?
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael: No, Richard Sinclair was still in the band at that point. Dave Sinclair was gone, though ... to Matching Mole (on now)! In fact, he wrote "O Caroline"
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ Dean: You mean Dave Sinclair? Yes, he returned to the fold.
	1:52pm Jeff Golick: @Flash Strap: me, too. (I actually played "O Caroline" yesterday!)
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: @ Jeff G: Now you know why they called the tune "Miserable Man."
	1:53pm 836: Ah, yes, David. Richard's cousin, no? Pleased to have seen Richard with Camel live, if never with National Health or Hatfield.
	1:54pm Stanley: Hi Brian - that's great, I had a shuftie and it looks just up my street and also, should be of interest of my friend (aka e12 on these boards) who is stuying drawing in London. Thanks mate, I'll put it into the programme.
	1:54pm Tony Coulter: Yep, the Sinclairs were cousins.
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: HEY!! We need a few more pledges before the end of the show. Please help out station and stream if you can....
	1:58pm Carmichael: I was talking about keyboard Sinclair, not to be confused with bassist Sinclair. I also have a live DVD that must be mid 80s or so, with both Sinclairs, Pye & Jimmy Hastings, and the original drummer. They do a stellar Nine Feet Underground.
	1:59pm Dean: Back in the day a Long Beach FM station had a weekly progressive rock show for which various "Space Shanty" tracks served as intro- and outro- music.
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart were both in Khan. It was sort of a reformation of Arzachel/Uriel.
	2:00pm Dean: I remember buying the album at a Wherehouse for, what, $2.99?, out of the import section. Have it to this day.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: My copy of the Khan LP is German, on Brain Records.
	2:06pm Brian in UK: Here is another Sinclair circa mid Eighties. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:07pm Brian in UK: Where is Canterbury Elf?
	2:07pm Peter Nelson: @Brian...just a matter of time before someone brought that up....
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hey Peter!!
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: England in the house....
	2:09pm Peter Nelson: Hey Tony. Hey all. Just play me Robert Wyatt all day...
	2:10pm Brian in UK: It will be Bond Bugs next.
	2:11pm Brian in UK: I had a pair of solar flares made of suede.
	2:12pm Dean: @Jeff G.: I hate to say this, but the Delivery tune to me echoes a much later recording. From about 3:05 for ten seconds or so I hear the cadence that pervades "Synchronicity II" by The Police, decidedly NOT a Canterbury band.
	2:12pm Tony Coulter: Here's another French Canterbury-influenced band for you....
	2:12pm Dean: So what's moving? The gelatin or the plates?
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: Both!
	2:15pm Franklin Engelmann: Todays Down Your Way comes from the historic town of Canterbury in Kent.
	2:15pm Tony Coulter: Super-fuzzed-out bass is certainly a Canterbury trademark....
	2:16pm Tony Coulter: ... thanks to Hugh Hopper, of course....
	2:20pm Dean: For crying out loud, I have this record! What are liner notes for?
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Franklin!
	2:22pm coelacanth: Thank you Tony Great show!
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: You're welcome, coelacanth! Glad you're enjoying it!
	2:26pm Tony Coulter: Everyone, don't forget your gimpy old pal, WFMU. Please throw some coins into the cup so the station can get a new wooden leg.
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: No "Tape Hiss" next week, by the way. I'll be doing a horn rock/brass rock special instead. Do not be afraid!
	2:37pm Tony Coulter: ... at last: The Northettes!!
	2:39pm V Priceless: Tony: Isn't there a Southerland Bros. & Quiver connection to Hatfield & The North?
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: Hatfield and the North and South, you mean? You stumped me there, VP.
	2:43pm V Priceless: yeah..forget that - I yam mistaken...next...
	2:44pm northguineahills: Ugh, our landlord raised our rent 12.5% w/o have us signing a lease beforehand. So, now, I'm in the middle of fighting said rent increase until given a legal bonding document that gives our consent to said increase.
	2:45pm ?: "horn rock/brass rock special" - NOT CHICAGO LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL VOL 1-4! I hope!
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Ugh, indeed. Very sorry to hear that NGH.
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: Rhesus O were yet another Canterbury-influenced French band. There were so many....
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: @ ?: There will be some Chicago in there -- can't be helped! I'll make it painless, though, I promise.
	2:48pm V Priceless: Tony: any Brooklyn Bridge, I hope?
	2:48pm Dean: Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Apocalypse" has a horn section, too.
	2:49pm Guido from Cologne: Beautiful music!
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Guido!! Glad you were listening....
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: Mahavishnu and Brooklyn Bridge may be in the cards next week ... we shall see....
	2:52pm V Priceless: lots of great deep cuts on some of those Brooklyn Bridge LPs...wink wink, nudge nudge....
	2:53pm Tony Coulter: I don't actually own them, but we'll see what I can turn up before next Tuesday.
	2:53pm Dean: I'm sure you'll find somebody willing to sell you a Brooklyn Bridge album.
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	2:55pm V Priceless: haha..perhaps a Buddah!
	2:55pm Carmichael: Cold Blood, Tony.
	2:56pm nfrae: Great program! Thanks!
	2:56pm Stanley: I clicked the whole damn show! Thanks Tony, great stuff.
	🥁 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for the fine show, Tony!
	2:56pm V Priceless: Thanks Tony! Super-Duper show!
	2:56pm Dean: Yes, Cold Blood. I kept thinking Lucifer's Friend had a horn section, but no. One of the band members is Dieter Horns.
	2:56pm Peter Nelson: Eclectic Music For Mind And Bodhi next:wfmu.org... 10 Year Anniversary Show!!
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everyone -- for listening, commenting, and pledging!! See you all next week....
	3:04pm MarieD: Vous ette l'homme, Tony. Splendido, fantastico, Merci!!!
	8:39am the Canterbury wood-elf: A great show, really nice overview (with a few surprises). If anyone's interested in exploring this "Canterbury" thing further, I put together a series of 28 three-hour podcasts which you can find here: canterburysoundwaves.blogspot.com (episode links in the right-hand sidebar)
	10:45pm Will: Deep show, thanks Tony. Would like to see FOLLIES Vol. 2, 3 and 4 since I bet you have lots of goodies we Canterbury-o-philes need to hear. Out here, Will J Pawtucket
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: FINALLY asked Twitter what that "Miserable Man" quote was, and kindly got an answer: the melody at 0:17 on is from Coltrane's "Mr. Syms," from his Coltrane Plays the Blues record. PHEWF!
