Thanks for both Jorma and Maurice.9:09am : Always remember...Maurice9:09am : Jorma, still alive, whew!9:11am : Saw Graham Nash last night, 74 sounding better than ever, and still alive.🥁 9:13am : Signe Toly Anderson RIP. Apparently died the same day as Kantner.9:17am : WoW!9:19am : Signe survived cancer in her 30s and died of complications from COPD. At 749:20am : Don't Remeber the New Monkees9:23am : great saturday to all!9:23am : Sorry to hear about Signe Tolly Anderson
She really had a beautiful voice. Taking Off is still a pleasure to listen to and in small part because of her.9:25am : JA Loves You! :)9:25am : Fantastic trips, tsk tsk9:27am : There's a great live cd of JA's last show with Signe and another with Grace fom the next night in 66🥁 9:27am : Jack Casady once said Takes Off was his fave LP.🥁 9:27am : Hi Bob. Thanks for the JA this AM9:28am : 'Genesis' gorgeous & definitive, but I somehow never knew its' name
...& the Airplane some of the earliest music I ever heard in my life - absolutely formative...yet somehow, never got to know 'Takes Off' ; older brother's tastes not running to FolkRawk as much as mine, perhaps...Just reading in 'Love is the Song We Sing' notes that Grace literally replaced Signe onstage w/in a minute...9:30am : @William: Yes, Jack is a monster on that from the start
@Beavo, yeah, wild how it was right in the middle of a 2 show per night run9:33am : Embryonic Journey9:35am : They were living the life by After Bathing At Baxters the groups code for tripping on acid9:38am : That was a goof for Satchmo.9:39am : Bet he was good on a blackberry9:40am : Yeah, Beavo, I got a bit nervous when Bob led off with Jorma.
And thanks for the tip on the live CD.
So Jack Cassidy was partial to Taking Off?9:41am : Hey o9:41am : never knew ed put out an lp - not a bad singer really.9:42am : Ed! who knew? Sounds Lorne Greenish.9:43am : How kool!9:44am : Did they even sell one of these Ed McMahon records?9:48am : Have you heard this old Bernie Sanders record? a total Shatner style thing. Hilarious. I thought it was. Larry David goof at first.9:50am : Have you seen there's a Woody Guthrie song he puts down his racist landlord by name - Trump's father...🥁 9:52am : Amazing how fresh Brown and Roach stuff is 60 years later.9:58am : Now that's some good Monkees10:00am : Goffin & King - yup.10:00am : I saw a video of Max Roach doing a solo on just a high hat that was amazing. No other drums on stage.10:16am : Beavo, I did read somewhere that Marty Balin wasn't the acid worshippers Slick and Kantner were.
Thanks- I never knew After Bathing at Baxters meant.🥁 10:26am : Who Knows Where the Time Goes by Fairport is one of the greatest tunes ever10:27am : "Oh written in damp cement
words to say your bath is best
if you don't forget to rinse
otherwise it makes no sense
Every other car is stacked
and every other wall is cracked
but Baxter's is booming"10:28am : This Fairport Convention song is lovely. I've never heard it before. Must obtain post haste. Thanks Bob!10:28am : Good morning all!10:29am : Definitely a great song.
The Judy Collins version is also beautiful, so moving.10:31am : Nice Fairport.10:43am : - envy people get to hear 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' for the 1st time...10:44am : ...how great to come here & dig Monk to Monkees w/ completely no apologies...10:46am : A side of Mott the Hoople I didn't know. Reminiscent of Kirwan/Welch era Fleetwood Mac.10:49am : I love hearing the Beach Boys cover the Beatles. Irony abounds!10:50am : ...urm - harmonies covered handily...10:51am : Re: Fairport, Sandy Denny, and WKWTTG: Nancy Griffith does it nicely, too.10:56am : Rev, Monkees to Monk- that's our Bob, no apologies eccentric. That's why he gets my annual FMU dollars.
But I thinks Bob is wrong about Mott- their glam period records are pretty damn good.10:59am : Thanks for bringing me around gently on a morning I dozed w a headache.
