Listener comments!
9:01am : good morning!!9:01am : Morning everyone9:02am : Good Morning Bob!9:02am : Morning all!9:03am : You're opening with a song that I just discovered this week. What a coincidence.9:05am : I’m sleep deprived, but I just have to listen live.
Good morning all (Doc Rock esp)!🥁 9:07am : Hello Brainy types9:09am : Mornin' bb & friends!9:11am : Hugh Masekela did "Grazing in the Grass" , right?9:13am : Jim Rodford's death was such a shock. I saw him twice with The Zombies and he was great each time. He's one of those figures who never got enough credit.9:14am : Best start to a show ever (these 4 songs). Sorry about Rodford.9:15am : Wasn't Rodford still touring with the Zombies?9:15am : Dan, I agree with you re Jim Rodford.
Also, had no idea Masekela covered “Stop”. Was it before or after the Super Session version?9:16am : This song reminds to Ivor Cutler song.9:16am : @Will
I'll have to agree on that.9:24am : Thanks for playing Mr. Rogers.9:25am : I’m in with the in crowd on Saturday mornings 9-119:25am : @Will Rodford was still touring with The Zombies as recently as one week before his death and they have a Spring Tour all set up. That's what shocked me about his death.9:29am : Bob, Sofronitsky Concert Recordings available in USA on Melodiya 5CD & 1 DVD His Scriabin is something I think you'd like. Then all the other stuff he plays makes sense.9:38am : Hi guys, am i the only one with sound problems or there are some dead airs happening?9:41am : Chris White was working with The Zombies for The Odessy and Oracle shows. Rodford would be in Act I with the current lineup and the surviving original lineup would be in Act II doing the album in its entirety.9:42am : Chris White appeared with the Zombies recently when they did Oddysey and Oracle live. But, Rodford (and the current Zombies) were there too. Rodford has played with the Zombies for years and was asked by Rod Argent (his cousin) to join the original band.9:43am : I’ve been on a big XTC kick lately since hearing that great new “TC & I” EP on your show, Bob. Thanks for getting me back into them!!9:44am : Thanks to you Bob, I'm discovering XTC. They remind me of Squeeze.9:48am : Interesting and obscure Rolling stones cover.9:49am : Jim Rodfoed WAS the Zombies touring bass player. Chris White only did a few of the Odessey & Oracle shows🥁 9:50am : Nice to hear Steve Marcus. I love anything on the Vortex label.9:52am : I'm thinking that Chris White might return as The Zombies full time bassist.10:00am : That Johnny Ray was pure amazement.10:01am : Good Morning Bob & All Listeners. Hey Ho Jeff!
I was lucky enough to see Jim Radford live with
Argent, The Kinks, and The Zombies.
Excellent Bass player. He will be missed.10:04am : Eliyah - Yes I Am Experienceing sound drop
Outs also.10:18am : Brian Jones was a better harmonica player than Dylan.10:21am : Saw Radford play with the Zombies about 3 weeks ago. He was great, as was the rest of the group. It was awful to hear when it happened.10:22am : the XTC doc on showtime is excellent if you havent seen it.10:22am : His passing I mean, not the show, which was great. Place was less than 3/4 filled and the crowd was awful but the band sounded great.10:30am : Wore the grooves off of this album. Sublime performances.10:31am : Hi Bob, I heard a story that when the Stones were at Dylan's hotel room that night, Dylan wanted Brian Jones to play but Brian was so intimidated by Dylan that he refused to play, and Dylan did or said something that made Brian cry.10:32am : Jennifer Warnes is the Dionne Warwick to Leonard's Bacharach/David.10:48am : Midnight Campbell?10:48am : Midnight Campbell, haha10:51am : That Midnight Cowboy track was sweet.10:53am : I thought it really was Midnight Campbell and Oranj Symphonette was being funny.10:55am : Melinda, me too. I imagined Glen in the night.10:56am : Morning, Bob and all!10:56am : Midnight Campbell sounds like the name of a Blaxploitation character.10:59am : luv Sacred Harp... great documentary at folk streams. Thanks Bob10:59am : Thanks Bob!
