♥ 9:13am :
Nice Gravy Waltzes.9:13am : I used to own a cool ARP Pro Soloist demonstration record that had a cool electronic version of Gravy Waltz - I'm sure there's a copy on YouTube somewhere...🥁 ♥ 9:14am : Good morning, Bob!![]()

♥ 9:20am :
nice to hear pentangle. i'd like to hear some relf/mccarty renaissance explored here. anything jane relf did NOT sing on, like 'kings and queens' is excellent.![]()
♥ 9:22am :
Now I feel the need to look up Jane Relf.![]()
♥ 9:26am :
there were two renaissance's melinda. relf/mccartney after yardbirds and then the annie haslam group 'borrowed' the name. relf/mccartney came back and called themselves 'illusion.' jane relf's voice is awful in my opinion, but i guess she was free.![]()
♥ 9:28am :
haha. I will look them all up.![]()
♥ 9:30am :
this is a good place to start. they were one of the first to bring classical into rock music.
www.youtube.com...9:30am : I think its safe to say that composers like Bob Colbert were influenced by Leroy Anderson when writing radio and TV themes.
Hi Bob and Brainenerds!![]()
🥁 ♥ 9:31am :
That Bud Powel track is one of my favorite EVER!![]()
9:31am : how's it going bob9:34am : "down-HILL"! I caught that, good one Bob!9:34am : mornin, Bob! who knew that there was a Steve Miller jam that I could love like your first track today!!!!9:37am : I'd like to think that Leroy Anderson's significance will be better appreciated as folks look back on music of the 20th century and recognize his significance.![]()
9:38am : @mauri - Good morning everybody, it's going well.. OH you all meant Brainen... oh sorry. Hi anyways.![]()
🥁 ♥ 9:41am :

10:30am : Wonderful playlist. Really we're fortunate to have this programming.![]()
10:30am : Great songs! And this music for commercials is really good. Somehow it feels like home. Dont get me wrong. Not as a commercial in anyway. Hyvää huomenta Sem.10:35am : Fellow FMU lovers, please don't forget your friend Bob and all his nutty friends during the Silent Fundraiser. We're losing JM in the AM in December, and with it, their many generous supporters. If you want Bob to be able to continue his Saturday extravaganzas, please make a pledge!10:35am : Enjoying your show this morning, Bob! Mellow Candle really shot the moon with their name, huh?![]()
🥁 ♥ 10:42am :
I concur with Mark R.![]()
🥁 ♥ 10:44am :
Ja hyvä iltapäivä teille, @mauri. Vain ulkona puutarhassa, valmistautuu talven.![]()
10:47am : I need to look more into Ryuichi Sakamoto -- Mayuko played a song called "Ikenai Rogue Magic" by Kiyoshiro Imawano & Ryuichi Sakamoto - which was this amazing glam rock spoof song with a very silly video -- but a lot of other stuff with "Ryuichi Sakamoto" s name on it is quite different. if it's the same guy , he must have quite the eclectic career10:47am : Bob - Thanks for another Clarence White piece. Outstanding!![]()
10:49am : :D Sem Suomi on vaikea kieli.![]()
10:50am : If anyone is interested in the awesome glam rock song I speak of - Mayuko played it was on this show : wfmu.org...![]()
🥁 ♥ 10:53am :
No shit @mauri!10:57am : I tried making a pledge- to support captain Bob- but I could only get halfway through it. It froze. Not sure if it was my iPad but maybe the station's tech guy/gal ought to check things out.![]()
10:57am : I think Sakamoto got pinned w/ the 'New Age' label - & those two words just as often used to dis things...but MusicNerds (...'nerd' as a positive...) seem to like a lot of stuff that's called 'New Age'. If you called it Ambient or something...Every genre label has its' - complications...& - haters just gonna hate, as the kids say...I mean, it's not like 'New Age' artists exist in some other world oblivious to our Media experiences, w/out any sense of humor, so on...![]()
10:58am : great show Bob!! From one bob to another. Thanks! Have a great day.![]()
10:59am : @revrabbit63 / anyone who was interested in one of my favorite songs - www.youtube.com...![]()
10:59am : Other musicians seem to dig Sakamoto just fine.![]()
♥ 7:19am :
Hi, Bob. Typo on the playlist. "Rain and Snow" by Pentangle, not "Rain and Soul".
