Good morning, Bob and all. What a beautiful near-spring day in the NY Metro area.
Avatar 9:02am duke:

Brainiacs on the march
  9:02am Zetti:

Avatar 9:02am annie:

good morning bob!!
  9:03am DebfromBefore:

Happy BobSatuurday. I'm ready to get out of my mind.
  9:03am 1whoknewcthulhu:

And, THEY'RE OFF! Great start with a deep cut from the Stones.
Avatar 9:03am Linda Lee:

*my* rolling stones honey! their best era! in my opinion!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:04am Uncle Michael:

How odd. I listened to Between the Buttons a couple of days ago, for the first time in decades.
Avatar 9:05am Linda Lee:

@Uncle Michael ~ happens a lot here, i find.
Avatar 9:06am annie:

best version ever
Avatar 9:06am duke:

Aaah man, Richie Havens what a great voice
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:07am Uncle Michael:

Very true, Linda.
Avatar 9:08am Linda Lee:

this song is *rumored* to be inspired by Allen Ginsberg ~ not sure i buy it.
Avatar 9:09am Linda Lee:

people can be silly.
Avatar 9:10am Linda Lee:

just the right time for Satie. thanks Bob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:12am melinda:

hi everyone!
Avatar 9:13am Linda Lee:

hi melinda! :-D
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:13am WilliamfromDumont:

Morning Bob and everyone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:16am melinda:

I've heard that Just Like a Woman was inspired by Edie Sedgwick.
Avatar 9:18am Linda Lee:

that makes a little more sense.
  9:22am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Gritty Herman's Hermits--sounding like they listened to every Everly Brothers record to get harmonies right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:23am WilliamfromDumont:

Sounds like the Stones backing Herman.
  9:25am 1whoknewcthulhu:

The first--original--Moby!
  9:26am Grapeshot:

It’s a Beautiful Day today!
Avatar 9:29am Linda Lee:

is that Spirit really 61?
Avatar 9:40am Dano59:

Maybe Todd Haynes came across that Ginsburg story. I always thought (well, since about '03) it was about Edie Sedgwick
Avatar 9:42am Linda Lee:

rumor possibly a jab at Allen. again, people can be silly.
  9:44am GListener MW:

so loving these TC&I tracks you’ve played, Bob — I have to remember to order the EP this weekend
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:44am WilliamfromDumont:

Bob, Between the Buttons was, I believe, recorded entirely in the UK. They hadn't recorded in England since the first LP.
Avatar 9:45am Linda Lee:

image of very British Stones experiencing very sunny, new world 60s Hollywood for recording. irresistible.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:45am melinda:

Most likely a jab at Allen.
  9:45am Peanut Gallery:

Exactly right GListener MW. Thx for what you do, Bob.
Avatar 9:46am Linda Lee:

.. being Allen he didn't deny it, far as i know :-)
  9:48am GListener MW:

great segue into this should’ve-been-a-single XTC track!! Off “Mumler”, is it?
  9:49am GListener MW:

Mummer, rather.... damned autocorrect!
Avatar 9:49am Linda Lee:

one nice thing about aging: your solid ego lets you appreciate music you discounted as a youngster. :-)
Avatar 9:51am SmokinJ:

Mornin' bb & friends! Nice set!
Avatar 9:53am Aaron Working In Newark:

Morning
  9:55am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Never get tired of hearing this Rascal track!
  9:55am Grapeshot:

Just got the mono cds A sides and b sides
Avatar 9:56am Linda Lee:

What a pretty, pretty record. Rascals!
  9:57am Grapeshot:

Check out Kronos Quartet:Folk Songs
  9:57am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Mindful that all but 2 cuts in the first hour of programming this morning are from the Brainen Archive.
Avatar 9:58am Dano59:

I agree with Linda Lee - I have no compunction at this point about loving the Bee Gees and even, sometimes, Bread.
Avatar 9:59am Dano59:

It sure beats arguing with other fans about what is and isn't "rock'n'roll"
Avatar 9:59am Davee:

Great show this morning!!!
Avatar 10:00am Roberto:

Per Dano59's point, I listened to Dismal Day by Bread twice in a row yesterday.
  10:01am Grapeshot:

Any Sandy Bull in the future?
  10:02am Doc Rock:

Good Morning Bob + All Listeners
Stones, Moby Grape, Spirit, Rascals
Ect. Make 4 Great Listening This
Morn. Hey Jeff - How R U Feeling?
Avatar 10:02am Linda Lee:

i loved Bread at age 10 & now I'm back! :-)
  10:04am Eliyah:

Hey guyz, I want to make a pledge in the marathon but im from europe. If i choose to play with my credit card will the money be drawn in dollars or i will have a problem cause i think the money i got in my credit is in euro currency. Can someone help me maybe??
Avatar 10:05am Linda Lee:

I'd call the business office on that.

You don't listen to my show Bob? I'm crushed.
  10:08am 1whoknewcthulhu:

OK you two--take this outside.
  10:09am Eliyah:

kk thanks Linda
Avatar 10:09am annie:

jmcgasko@wfmu.org he's the guy who can help you Eliyah
  10:09am GListener MW:

Agreed Bob, I love XTC’s “Ladybird” — the piano has a great cadence to it, and the song doesn’t really sound like much else they’d ever done or would do later
Avatar 10:09am Linda Lee:

hope they can help out. thanks in advance for donating!
Avatar 10:10am annie:

that's in case you can't reach them by phone ^^
  10:13am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Whoa--smokin' NRBQ. I'm down for this premium!

The AAC stream sounds really good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41am WilliamfromDumont:

Love the first Mott album!
Avatar 10:46am duke:

Reuben and The Jets wish they were Nolan Strong and the Diablos
  10:48am paul:

from the Specialty Box?
Avatar 10:48am SmokinJ:

@ Third World Man: I agree. I'm hoping the station can eventually provide an uncompressed stream. The AAC stream is a step up though.. 8-)
  10:50am paul:

Guess not: Annie Is Back (45 Mono Master-Take 7) is in the box set.

Thanks for the Ranny Sinclair

Infrequent Saturday commenter here. Just wanted to say I'm and enjoying the show and thanks for being here, BB.
Avatar 11:00am Listener Baby:

Good morning. Multi-talented, multi-skilled, Renaissance Man. Doing any other genius stuff this week, Baby?
Oh.. And good morning to all the mere mortals out there. We have to stick together.
