Listener comments!
9:01am : Good morning, Bob, and all other Brainiacs.9:01am : Good Morning Bob, Doc Rock and all the rest of you listeners out there.9:02am : Frogs:), Luv ya Bob.9:02am : hello morning peeps9:02am : Bob! It is so good to have you back on the air!9:02am : Good morning, Bob, and all fellow Brainiacs. Looking forward to another musical Saturday morning.9:03am : Good morning Bob B. Good morning, Yeti Bob.9:03am : Hello Bob and all. Glad to be listening.9:03am : Sounds like the intro music for The Honeymooners...
and Joyce Randolph as the Beaver!9:04am : Good morning DJ BB. Got any Moby Grape? / I think Leary was wrong. Shouldn't it be "into your Mynd"?9:04am : Continued Good Morning WFMUniverse!9:05am : @DJ Guin: Funny you say that, I've been on a real Honeymooners kick lately, rewatching episodes I've already seen dozens of times ... still makes me laugh ... and I still love that opening music & title sequence. Just classic.9:07am : Howdy bb & all!9:07am : Bob, I still have the Shelleyan Orphan cassette, still workin' in the 2nd decade of the 21st century.9:08am : @YETI -- I have been catching up on old Munsters and Green Acres. No cable, only internet, so I tune into the digital antenna. Mind blowing how each show was only on the air for a couple 2-3 years, yet it is still funny as hell.9:08am : Good morning Bob.9:08am : Good morning, Bob and brainchildren. The bacon is baking.9:09am : "Herman, you schnook!"9:09am : Hey! To Andrew in Toronto Jeff, YETI BOB, Tidepoolbay,
1whoknewcthulhu, Peter from Dover NJ, Really Lisa, DJ Guin,
TDK60, Deborah & Smokin J! TDK, I have the vinyl. Great in any format!9:10am : 1st time listening, BB, but then again, Woof-Moo shows never disappoint.9:10am : Yeti Bob and DJ Guin: Honeymooners remains one of the best comedy programs out there.9:10am : I simply have too much to do today to go on a psychedelic journey. Groceries, cleaning, Rexing.9:11am : Bob, I really enjoyed the Fairpoint last week! Thank you!🥁 9:12am : Morning Bob and all.9:12am : Haven't heard this song in so long!9:13am : @Peter: Kind of like the Beatles IMO. Not just one great genius, but four of them, working together to create something. Gleason was great, but the rest of the cast was almost just as good.9:13am : greetings from cloudy Bay Ridge.
Great starting set sir!!!9:13am : “Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time” - The Butterman9:17am : First Time listener, DJ Guin-that's very cool. Hey The Butterman. Glad you dug the Fairport Zetti. Maybe more today. Hey William From Dumont. Listener Bop Monroe-howdy.9:17am : Good morning Bob and Brainiacs9:18am : Wall paper and psychedelics mix well…or badly depending on the circumstances. Either way the bloke at Home Depot is MOST Certainly I’ll-prepared to deal with that scenario!9:19am : Hey Bob.9:20am : Are there any Record Store Day releases that any of you are excited about today? (Did you know it was RSD?)9:21am : Jackie Gleason was a pal of Nixon, who purportedly showed Gleason Top Secret files on UFOs...or so the story goes.9:22am : Fairport is always welcome. Bob, not to arouse any envy, but I got to journey to the annual Fairport fest in Oxfordshire, in 2018.9:23am : Sheriff Buford T. Justice knew of aliens! To the moon Smokey!9:23am : G'morning DjLorraine. Hey Butterman.
Gleason was a strange cat. Not that Nixon wasn't.
Wow, Cropredy-must have been great! Who was featured that year?9:24am : @DJ Guin: I had to look that one up! While researching the Nixon/Gleason/little green men connection I found out that Gleason lived in an incredibly cool house, everything was round with no corners ... check these pics .... www.metv.com...9:24am : @DJ Guin Iirc, there's a scene between Gleason and J. Edgar Hoover -- maybe with Sinatra, too? -- in Delillo's *Underworld.* "Tempus sure does fugit, Jedgar," or something like that.9:25am : @adam: Yeah, Jackie barfs on Frank's shoes. Or should I say, he Ralphs.9:26am : Certainly, we mean "J. Edna" lol. Compared to our current POTUS, Nixon deserves a friggin' monument akin to Lincoln's.9:26am : Cropredy village in northern Oxfordshire. Of course F.C. headline their own fest. In '18 also Brian Wilson (who was great along with Jardine & 11-piece), Oysterband, Afro-Celt Sound System, The Levellers, Al Stewart, etc.9:28am : 91.1 WFMU sounding good! Gooood Morning Ya’ll9:29am : "Hey, Norton..why doncha go, uh, sit in the corner...?"9:30am : @YETI BOB Heh, deed he does. Tosses a few back, then tosses one forward. Is that at the baseball game?9:31am : @DJ Guin — Paul Newman was number 2 on Nixon’s “Enemies List”9:31am : 2018: good year of shows for you!
They will come back!
Hey PaulRobeson1920.
"Hey Nawton!"9:32am : Good Morning!!9:32am : Just jumping in now, hey Bob and everyone. Saturday is here!9:33am : Gleason's UFO house is in Westchester County, NY?
Not too far from me.... I smell a Road Trip! 2018 asking price? 12 million
westchestermagazine.com...9:33am : @adam: Yeah. I really liked the opening of that novel, the baseball game - I thought I would like the book but by the time I got to the end my feelings changed a bit. I think the opening part "Pafko at the Wall" was written & published separately and later adapted to the novel.9:34am : @Guin: I think that house is really beautiful!! If only I hadn't given all my money to WFMU, maybe I'd buy it.9:34am : Morning WFMU9:34am : gawd, I loves me the interwebs: 196 Furnace Dock Rd., Cortlandt Manor, NY9:38am : i gotta run...but, i will keep tuned in...Smokey & The Bandit set to premiere as a TV Show..cause , you know, 2020.9:39am : Wait, what? My dad was a rabbi and a psychotherapist.
@YETI BOB The towers that he hated so much were still up when I read it. I'm not sure I could muster the sustained attention for it now. I do find myself thinking about it in retrospect, often around Russia and waste management.9:40am : Two more modern crossfade lps: Skylarking & I Am Shelby Lynne9:41am : @DJ Guin On the eve of the 1968 Election, Nixon had Kissinger travel to Vietnam and sabotage the peace talks. In private LBJ thought this act was treason. That is heavy shaving cream! A statue for Nixon? Never🥁 9:41am : Crossfade mania: Every Moody Blues album.9:41am : Welcome Back. You were missed. I am mourning the passing of Spencer Davis. I will make a pledge to your show today. PS take it easy on the NRBQ :)9:41am : Oh, wait...Jerry Jeff Walker died??? Nilsson's cover of Mr. Bojangles makes me feel like I am cutting onions, every. single. time. I hear it.9:42am : Hey Tidepoolbay, Hey Dennis & Crei6hton.
Can anyone think of otheer songs that are crossfaded on the original vinyl?
adamdoesit-is that true?9:43am : Love that first Steve Miller album. Yet another great debut LP from the Bay during that effervescence.🥁 9:43am : Notorious Byrd Bros.9:44am : @Bob Brainen Yep. Don't think he was a Dolphy fan; that's just me.9:46am : Nice!9:47am : I really like Yesterday's New Quintet and somehow missed them completely in the early 2000s. Just catching up now. So they really are Yesterday's New Quintet to me :) I want to hear the rest of this "Stevie" album!9:49am : @PaulRobeson -- didn't Lincoln give poison milk to school children? lol9:51am : Morning all. I am loving the mellotron in the background of this Moody Blues track.9:51am : Is there a crossfade on “Like To Get To Know You” by Spanky & Our Gang?9:51am : Jim Morrison sounding so fine9:54am : That Gleason house is awesome. I would expect him to have a more Hollywood-type pad.🥁 9:54am : @Dennis Diken, yes. Side Two all crossfades.9:54am : Ha. Wm. check Notorious, I think some songs are just real tight segues, very tight. Hey Kevino. Yeah Spencer Davis, also Jerry Jeff Walker and Viola Smith,a great Jazz drummer, but she made it to 107! Yeti Bob YsNQuinteet also have a tribute album of Bitches Brew/related stuff.
Dennis-that long kinda odd album version? Gotta check. Could be. I love that song!🥁 9:57am : Wow, I hadn't heard about JerryJeff. I was listening to the first Circus Maximus album recently.9:58am : Good morning Bob and listeners! Bummer to hear about the death of Jerry Jeff Walker. RIP.9:58am : Wow this is a good radio program!10:02am : So glad to have you back Bob!10:02am : Good morning Bob & all listeners
@Jeff Howdy - lots of nurse & breakfast action during the first hour.10:05am : Bonsoir Bob great to have U back10:06am : gotta find more crossfades, there’s plenty out there. can’t recall them now, not enuff coffee yet t’day!10:07am : Damn! I keep forgetting you're on, Bob. @DJ Guin - my bro-in-law is a contractor in Cortlandt Manor, did work on the circular ex-Gleason house.10:07am : Whoa, thanks for the NRBQ treat.10:07am : Signing off. Time for workout, then work. Thank you Bob.10:08am : Jim said to his bandmates before he left for Paris, “we are getting better, we’re growing... See you when I get back...”10:09am : Wm. Wind was a big FM radio song on Circus Maximus 1st lp
Hey Corey, Thanks PaulRobeson1920! We put a lot of time and effort into our shows. Hey SankaSankaSanka & Doc Rock. Hey bLeubomber-great to be here!10:13am : Something/Anything is an impressive album. Todd is Godd.10:14am : I think there is some cross-fadding on Byrds "Untitled" Lover of the Bayou"?🥁 10:17am : There's some understated crossfading on Youngblood's Elephant Mountain.10:19am : Good morning Bob and DjLorraine and croakers everywhere. Carry on and carry me through.10:22am : good morning, everyone10:25am : Hey Jack, yeah I'm here. Yeah, Dennis, LOTS of crossfades after Sgt. Pepper! It was like you weren't hip if you didn't have them. I wonder if there was any before Pepper??
Hey Ralphus.
Kevnio & Wm. I'll have to check out Untitled. & Elephant's Mt. Hey Cooh John. Hey Uncle Michael.10:25am : Good morning to all. Spill the Wine in español
is cool. I was waiting for a woman's voice to chatter in english.10:27am : Good morning all10:27am : Is there anything cooler than jump jazz? No, but there are other cool things in the cosmos, by degree.10:27am : Hey listener Rey. Nah only Espanol. They were from Mexico.🥁 10:29am : Pre-Pepper crossfades? Now that is a question.10:29am : aka Jack McVoutie!10:39am : @TDK60 Neptune may be cooler, but it's a trip.10:40am : "The Joker" reminds me of my brother's 1980 performance as Sir in our high school production of Roar of the etc.10:42am : Oh wow now I remember -- we had a rubber cast of his head from that show. One day, in a surreal moment, the cat dragged it by the hair into my room.10:43am : Also, coincidentally, Anthony Newley's son was in my high school class.10:47am : Roberto, what H.S. was that?10:49am : Harvard School in North Hollywood, CA (now Harvard-Westlake).10:51am : Hey Bob!

If I ever need walk-on music, that's what I'm going to use.12:28pm : Hi Bob. Still listening via the archives when I miss a live show. Lou D' played Jerry Jeff Walker a bit. & Circus Maximus. No doubt Jerry Jeff had a lot to contribute to "The Wind" that Bob Bruno wrote and sang vocal. RIP JJW
