I'm ready to get out of my mind.9:03am : And, THEY'RE OFF! Great start with a deep cut from the Stones.9:03am : *my* rolling stones honey! their best era! in my opinion!9:04am : How odd. I listened to Between the Buttons a couple of days ago, for the first time in decades.9:05am : @Uncle Michael ~ happens a lot here, i find.9:06am : best version ever🥁 9:06am : Aaah man, Richie Havens what a great voice9:07am : Very true, Linda.9:08am : this song is *rumored* to be inspired by Allen Ginsberg ~ not sure i buy it.9:09am : people can be silly.9:10am : just the right time for Satie. thanks Bob!9:12am : hi everyone!9:13am : hi melinda! :-D🥁 9:13am : Morning Bob and everyone.9:16am : I've heard that Just Like a Woman was inspired by Edie Sedgwick.9:18am : that makes a little more sense.9:22am : Gritty Herman's Hermits--sounding like they listened to every Everly Brothers record to get harmonies right.🥁 9:23am : Sounds like the Stones backing Herman.9:25am : The first--original--Moby!9:26am : It’s a Beautiful Day today!9:29am : is that Spirit really 61?9:40am : Maybe Todd Haynes came across that Ginsburg story. I always thought (well, since about '03) it was about Edie Sedgwick9:42am : rumor possibly a jab at Allen. again, people can be silly.9:44am : so loving these TC&I tracks you’ve played, Bob — I have to remember to order the EP this weekend🥁 9:44am : Bob, Between the Buttons was, I believe, recorded entirely in the UK. They hadn't recorded in England since the first LP.9:45am : image of very British Stones experiencing very sunny, new world 60s Hollywood for recording. irresistible.9:45am : Most likely a jab at Allen.9:45am : Exactly right GListener MW. Thx for what you do, Bob.9:46am : .. being Allen he didn't deny it, far as i know :-)9:48am : great segue into this should’ve-been-a-single XTC track!! Off “Mumler”, is it?9:49am : Mummer, rather.... damned autocorrect!9:49am : one nice thing about aging: your solid ego lets you appreciate music you discounted as a youngster. :-)9:51am : Mornin' bb & friends! Nice set!9:53am : Morning9:55am : Never get tired of hearing this Rascal track!9:55am : Just got the mono cds A sides and b sides9:56am : What a pretty, pretty record. Rascals!9:57am : Check out Kronos Quartet:Folk Songs9:57am : Mindful that all but 2 cuts in the first hour of programming this morning are from the Brainen Archive.9:58am : I agree with Linda Lee - I have no compunction at this point about loving the Bee Gees and even, sometimes, Bread.9:59am : It sure beats arguing with other fans about what is and isn't "rock'n'roll"9:59am : Great show this morning!!!10:00am : Per Dano59's point, I listened to Dismal Day by Bread twice in a row yesterday.10:01am : Any Sandy Bull in the future?10:02am : Good Morning Bob + All Listeners
Stones, Moby Grape, Spirit, Rascals
