Looking forward, Hey Bob.9:05am : Mongo mundo--smokin' start!🥁 9:07am : Cool versions of Yeh Yeh9:08am : Hi Bob and folks9:09am : Yea Yea Good Morning Bob And All Listeners9:11am : Yeah Yeah - Good Morning all
Hey Doc Rock!🥁 9:11am : RIP J.H. Morning Bob and all.🥁 9:13am : J. H. sang with the Dead?!9:23am : Why have I been thinking about Laura Nyro a lot this week?🥁 9:27am : I wonder if they sell Salty Peppers at the Sugar Shoppe?9:28am : According to Wiki, J.H. recorded Fire in the City with the Warlocks (pre-Dead)9:39am : Pat Patrick was also the father of Deval Patrick (who was the governor of Mass)9:49am : Good Morning JD9:53am : Naima seems to be a theme for me this winter.9:56am : One of my favorite Associations (Wrecking Crew) songs.9:57am : Association=killer tracks!🥁 10:03am : Bob, that's Joe Osborn bass.10:15am : The Killer's Don't Let Go - outstanding!! The only version I'd ever heard prior was Isaac Hayes' great cover from the late 70's10:17am : Sometimes I wonder that, if we didn't label Chuck, Jerry Lee, Richard, etc as "oldie acts" when they were still in their 30s, they might have continued producing great work in the 1960s?10:33am : J.D.: Probably so. The "times up" distinction seems to be easing a bit, at least for me, in regards to artists who remain strong performers, which most do.10:37am : I still treasure my original near mint vinyl copy of "What's Shakin'" Really a gem.10:39am : Stevel, there's no doubt all those cats remained great live performers. I feel they might have continued to produce great recordings and, possibly, grown as recording artists if not for the stigma of being "oldies acts"10:47am : Juana!10:48am : Morning, Bob & all!10:52am : Bob, another great show today. I had never heard Don't Let Go by JLL, just the cover. And that Association song is one of my faves. And now a great tune by Nazz. Thanks so much, you brighten my mood in these dark times.🥁 10:55am : Great show, as always.10:56am : Elvin, I second that emotion!12:21pm : always nice to hear something from Nazz Nazz of course!
