Listener comments!
9:17am : Good morning Bob! Like the Aqua Velvet.9:18am : `Mornin' bb, melinda & all! 8-)🥁 9:20am : Ok, a glass of last night's eggnog and I'm good to go. Mornin' Bob and all.9:24am : Good morning Bob. Happy Boxing Day all y'all!!!!9:25am : morning all!9:28am : Nice version of Hymms🥁 9:30am : Hearts and Flowers did a great version of Hymns.9:31am : this pet-sit house has crappy wifi... i'm signing off.. nothing more annoying than music cutting in and out. only thing that comes close to it is anchovy smoothies9:37am : Mmm! Anchovies!9:43am : So much great folk-rock, country-rock stuff from the late sixties- and bob's got his antenna up for us.
And he's not a stuck-up purist- love the Sunshine Company with their strings and poppy vibe.9:46am : This Sunshine Co. track reminds me of the Canadian baroque-pop artist Tom Northcott. Interesting to hear this kind of music, with its beautiful settings, in retrospect there seemed to be so much of it. Yet the Left Bank and like-minded souls literally enjoyed just a moment in the sun.10:00am : @Stuart: you said it well.10:04am : Morning, Bob & all!10:09am : Maybe a bullet is a dot in the middle?10:10am : I'm not Russian fluent, but their language does have a term for the raised period between 2 words10:12am : Yeah, Melinda, that Aqua Velvet was very nice.
RH, their time was short lived. It's got to be bittersweet for them to be rediscovered. What careers didn't they get to have?10:14am : What's the function of that raised dot?10:24am : GREAT Playboys track!10:28am : Thanks for the Stanley Cowell. That LP is a masterpiece.10:29am : In latest 'Come to the Sunshine' w/ Illeana Douglas they talk about Gary Lewis a bit :
cometothesunshine.podomatic.com...10:33am : RevRabbit that looks like a good podcast, thanks for the link.10:50am : When yr on the air, Bob, you always make me smile. Thank you.10:53am : Could the raised dot • be a bullet? Alls I know • is that it's • option+8 • on the Mac keyboard •10:58am : John Lewis & Eric Dolphy AND Brightblack Morning Light?!!!?! AGAIN...another perfect way to spend my morning (with you Bob). :-)11:22am : TY B.B.
