Listener comments!
9:04am : Morning, Bob. Cannonball is always a nice start.9:08am : Cyrkle track totally sweet! Mornin' bb! 8-)🥁 9:12am : Good morning Bob and Bob fans9:20am : "Out There" is one of my favorite albums by anyone, ever. That instrumentation--bass AND cello! WTF? It's beautiful. Thanks so much for playing this one. Really loving your show today, Bob.9:23am : Guy who wrote 'Frank Zappa - Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play' used Dolphy's 'Out to Lunch' as a cultural reference point. Big smart good Rawk book.9:23am : What Mark says. Thanks Bob!🥁 9:25am : Nice to hear Safe In My Garden. Always dug the 4th Mamas and Papas LP.9:26am : Good song by NRBQ although I prefer Spider!9:32am : THANK YOU for everyone's support for WFMU that brings us all this exceptional thing that it is. THANK YOU.9:34am : Good morning.9:45am : Haven't thought about this one in a long time. Nice to hear.🥁 9:45am : mornin' Bob! mornin' grasshoppers!9:59am : Who plays harp on This flat Tire?10:12am : i actually preferred the surreal "It's Gary Shandling's Show". i spent some time last night trying to find some full episodes on YT. none to be had. i hope you're right Bob, that they re-run them. the "Larry Sanders" show IS on YT. and i'll always love jeffrey tambor10:15am : I tend to look down my (hypocritical) nose on TV & cable - but the one sketch/scene Shandling plays a talkshow host - & then goes backstage & says to aid 'was I okay? I was horrible - ohgawd' - stays w/ me as defining something about Performance & ShowBiz.10:20am : A friend of mine is the singer for the theme to "It's Garry Shandling's Show." He turned down an offer to sing it on Jimmy Fallon's show last night...so Fallon sang it, I'm told.10:25am : not the same.. not the same..tell your friend that the theme song is GENIUS!!!!10:25am : Pee Wee rules!10:29am : What a gorgeous percussion intro to that Pee Wee number.10:32am : Yup, the title track is a Monk cover. (Pee Wee also covers Monk's "Hackensack" and Ornette's "Turnaround" on that LP.)10:38am : Yeah! Ray Draper!10:44am : Yes, yes, yes. Beautiful.10:54am : Keith Emerson could be bombastic too much of the time. But he could sound grand and majestic as he does here- thanks, Bob.
Can't imagine how tormented he was to take his life as he did.10:58am : I've read that Emerson had a problem with O'List playing too loudly.10:58am : What got to me when Emerson died was that bandmates and close friends said the depression had begun all ghe way back in the late seventies, and just stayed with him since.11:01am : How terrible. Decades of depression
