Morning all. Arthur Blythe died? Damn.9:17am : Hi Bob
You made our day with the Jude Sills song. Judy and I have spent some hours pondering that one and pondering Jude.
Thanks as always9:23am : Wow Bob; true inspiration this morning. Thank you.9:23am : Missed you last week, Bob -- without your show, early a.m. Saturday is not the same!![]()

You're welcome Melinda. Available on Netflix if you're interested. Cheers.9:42am : That is a good flick tadpoles. I didn't even know that was a Faces song, just the Who Came First version. And now I have to go find the Turtles(!) doing Judee Sill...![]()
9:44am : Lovin' it!9:45am : Bob, what has PJ been up to?![]()
♥ 9:46am :
My first celebrity sighting was Ronnie Lane at the Whole Foods in Austin in the early 80s. I was in junior high and wasn't familiar with the Small Faces but had just seen him on the cover of Rolling Stone, surrounded by musician friends who were playing a benefit concert, I think. It was a big deal to me then but since he wasn't a current pop star my peers wouldn't have known who I was talking about, had I shared the story.9:49am : Hey, Will, I think the stranger Jude refers to in the first verse is JD Souther, who upped and left her.
I always wondered, though, about her Jesus - does he call her, and everyone, to bear their own crosses as they go through life and suffer. Or are these men she's put her faith in, like JD , really just bandits, false messiah ? Anyway, poor Jude had her needle and her great talent and her mysticism never could overcome it.10:11am : Good morning![]()
♥ 10:26am :
Nice Pentangle10:31am : Lower them frogs, brother. Lower them frogs.♥ 10:32am :
Most famous Studio/Live..."Wheels of Fire"..Cream !10:34am : didn't that last tune's melody remind one of Golden Years? The title of the compilation was Heroes ... hmmm.![]()
10:37am : Yup, Wheels is the one I was thinkin' of (gimme the studio sides!!)
Any other 2lp live/studio albums??10:38am : King Sunny Ade. So light. So laid back.♥ 10:39am :

Chambers Bros. Love, Peace and Happiness?![]()
10:49am : Wasn't Ummagumma 1 record The whole band vs. 1 record of 4 songs each by a member? Was there live stuff?![]()
♥ 10:51am :
Sides 1 & 2 of Umma recorded live Bob10:52am : Felix Pappalardi brought the Cream ways over with him to Mountain.![]()
10:54am : I live near Lindisfarne♥ 10:56am :
"Anyway" by Family is one side studio and one side live but I guess that doesn't count as there are probably lots of single albums like that n'est ce pas?
Great show thanks Bob!![]()

10:58am : Chambers Bros. gotta check it out11:03am : Canned Heat - Living the Blues - their second album i think. I once heard Jonathan Swartz play part of it on WNEW in 197?, and then interupt, take it off and apologize for playing it!
