Kenny Margolis said to say hi to you.9:06am : Morning fellow Woo-Mooers...Hello Bob.🥁 9:06am : Morning Bob and all.9:06am : Both kinds of music: boogie AND woogie!9:07am : Morning, all!9:08am : Good morning, everyone.9:08am : Matt, I tend to be more of a Woogie purist.9:11am : Good morning Bob and all the listeners.
Good morning Jeff. I hope you guys are doing alright.9:12am : Morning Andrew in Toronto, DJ Guin, Wm. from Dumont, Matt Fiveash, Joe Merklee,Uncle Michael,9:14am : Continued good morning in unnaturally warm Montclair.9:17am : Digging the tunes9:18am : It is weirdly warm in Maine too9:18am : Good morning bb & friends! 8-)9:20am : Good morning Bob. Deborah, how's Montclair?9:21am : Lowell...dear Lowell.9:23am : Glad to have you back bob!9:24am : shining on satuday! Hey Bob and everyone9:24am : Might have to track down Liverpool Echo recordings.9:31am : Hey, good morning to Bob B and all the Bobbers!9:32am : @Peter from Dover NJ: Montclair maintains its usual composed state of angst. Going to take refuge in Van Vleck Gardens soon.9:32am : I think I need to watch Wild Wild Planet.🥁 9:33am : Has The Trip soundtrack ever been properly reisssued? The CD from the 90's left out a number of the tracks.9:36am : Alison Statton is so underappreciated. That one YMG record is an all-time classic but the records she made after that were hard to find & did not get as much attention. (Especially the stuff she did after "Weekend")9:36am : man, could I go for some victuals right now...9:37am : Morning to you Deborah, thanks Melinda, hey SmokinJ, Peter from Dover NJ. Thanks Bill, good to be here! Hey Mauri, YETI BOB, phat. Wm. it was released on lp and cd on Sidewalk.9:42am : The “greatness” ratio is high, track by track, for the Buffalo Springfield considering they only had three LPs.9:43am : "Ironic, isn't it Smithers? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you!"9:43am : @WilliamfromDumont - not sure if The Trip was ever reissued. I found my vinyl copy in a second hand store in Santa Cruz, CA spring 1976. I lived there, briefly, at that time and finding the record for me was like finding the Holy Grail!🥁 9:45am : I have a really worked original pressing of The Trip. The cd from the 90's was reissued by Mike Curb and it seems like he left off the tunes with "Suggestive" titles.9:45am : Good morning everyone!9:46am : "If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it's your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift, or the jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts god gave them? Well I say, "Cheating is the gift man gives himself."9:46am : Good Morning Bob and all listeners.9:49am : Did he mention banana bread?9:50am : @Bob 🧠en: have you ever heard of a group from the sixties called the food. I figured that if anyone knows it would be you.9:50am : Source od quote, DJ Guin?9:51am : @Uncle Michael -- both are from C. Montgomery Burns9:51am : Ah...Mr. Burns.9:51am : <<Excellent>>9:52am : I felt our outgoing POTUS was Lex Luthor, but....9:53am : Hey Mike Sin, yeah those lps are overflowing w/great songs, all 3 lps! And I don't think they ever did a cover. All originals.
Not sure Wm. on cd v. lp. Never A/B'd them, but isn't Curb a zealot?
