Listener comments!

9:00am YETI BOB:

9:00am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Good morning, Bob and all.

9:00am Andrew in Toronto:

Good morning Bob,and all other Brainiacs.

9:01am Listener Bop Monroe:

greetings from briefly sunny Tannersville Mr. BB.
this always reminds me of the Avengers (Emma Peel not Thor)

9:02am Bob Brainen:

Hey thanks YETI BOB
Morning, 1whoknewcthulhu & Andrew in Toronto

9:03am Bob Brainen:

Hey Listener Bop Monroe,

9:03am Joe Merklee:

Good morning, Bob, and friends.

9:05am Jeff:

Good Morning Bob, Doc Rock and fellow listeners.
Hey, I’ve got a book recommendation for you - Time Between by Chris Hillman.
I just started reading it; just about to get to the part where he was recruited to join up with Jim, Gene, Dave
What sets this apart from other music autobiographies? It’s extremely well written by a guy who often gets overlooked. Kinda like Dizzy Gillespie - he was important to so many developments in jazz like bebop. But, Charlie Parker was the cat who died young. Just like Gram Parsons

🥁

9:06am WilliamfromDumont:

Hey Bob and all. Good Morning.

9:06am Be Now Homeboy:

JEAN! this song is great! love it!

9:06am Bob Brainen:

Morning Joe M. Deborah, mauri, Wendy del Formaggio.
Hey Jeff, yeah I'll have to read that, for sure.

9:06am melinda:

Hi folks! Thanks for the recommendation Jeff.

9:07am YETI 13013:

@Jeff: Bass players tend to get overlooked

🥁

9:07am Brian in UK:

Hello Bob.

jeff, love Hillman's bass playing especially on Rock 'n Roll Star. Drives the whole song along.

9:07am TDK60:

Morning Bob. / Sounds interesting, Jeff. I'm a Byrds fan; heard Hillman has a recent solo album. (A WFMU DJ told me it's overproduced, haven't heard yet.)

9:08am Fuzzy:

Good morning! You're making me feel like I'm 5 again!

🥁

9:09am Brian in UK:

Was Jean written by Rod McKuen, never heard Oliver's version.

9:09am Bob Brainen:

g'mornin' WilliamfromDumont, Be Now Homeboy, melinda,
Hey Brian in UK. TDK60 & Fuzzy. 5 is a good age.

9:10am YETI BOB:

Ahhh, the 1960s. I didn't have a care in the world. I was just running around in diapers, eating baby food. What a time!

9:10am Pedro in Arlington:

Hi Bob. Your show is like a Saturday audio sunrise. Already walked the dog and consumed coffee and am trying to knock out some online holiday stuff. Thanks for the soundtrack. WFMU never fails.

🥁

9:11am Brian in UK:

TDK60, I bought it for a friend's birthday. It is OK, I know faint praise.

9:12am Malcolm.:

Good morning Bob. Sounding good

9:12am Bob Brainen:

Pedro in Arlington. that's so nice, thx! And thx Malcolm.

9:13am ZeeBee:

Loving the show! Still in bed under the covers, a nice covering of snow on the ground outside. My cat Merle as climbed over to cuddle. :)

🥁

9:13am Brian in UK:

Bob, this is some sonic balm.

🥁

9:13am WilliamfromDumont:

I need to go back and listen to Number 5. I don't remember it being this good!

9:14am Bob Brainen:

It took about 100 listens to finally realize this Steve Miller song is just all acoustic guitars and a harp.
ZeeBee, yr making me envious. SNOW!

9:14am Heidee:

1967. I was still swimming in Abraham's sausage pot.

9:15am TDK60:

Hi UK Brian, over there in Shropshire. "Ok" is better than bad. I'll hear it eventually.

9:17am Bob Brainen:

Wm. it's a mixed bag like most Miller albums are for me. But the good is as good as it gets.
Hey Heidee,

9:17am Andrew in Toronto:

Thanks for the reading tip Jeff.

9:17am Be Now B:

67 I wasn't a thought or even a wild imagining

9:17am YETI BOB:

Heidee: I've never heard that expression before, it's hilarious.

9:23am Dennis Diken:

good morning Bob and everyone! hey Bob, wasn't "Jean" produced by Bob Crewe? is there arrangement info listed on the record? off to a great start!

9:23am YETI BOB:

Why, Clarence?

🥁

9:23am Brian in UK:

Hot chili is groovy
After a movie
Or watching TV.

9:25am SmokinJ:

Mornin' brother bb & all friends! 8-)

9:26am Bob Brainen:

mornin' Be Now B, Hey Denny, yes Bob C. and written by Rod McKuen.
Hey SmokinJ
Why Clarence what?

9:26am Megaroni:

Archetype Joker Eclipse Time

9:26am Jeff:

Speaking of The Byrds: 15-20 years ago, I had a dream that Roger McGuinn was leading a big band of bluegrass players doing amazing arrangements of Byrds tunes at the Village Vanguard.
I woke up and thought “what a great idea!” I e-mailed McGuinn and never heard back.

9:27am YETI BOB:

Oh, just wondering why did Clarence force "Take 5" into 4/4 time!

9:29am Bob Brainen:

Hi megaroni, Ah, I think Clarence just heard everything in 4/4? Not a lot of "Island " music in odd time signatures? And not so easy to change a time sig. it take some doing.

9:29am Listener Bop Monroe:

slam stewart and his nasal bass accompanyment

9:30am Wendy del Formaggio:

I love hearing Slim Gaillard songs I've never heard before on this radio show. Bob Brainen always delivers!

9:30am YETI BOB:

I once heard a reggae version of "Take 5" where they did the same thing, but that made more sense to me. The Clarence Curvan was interesting, just sounded very "wrong" to me :) Yeah not easy to change time sig.

9:32am TDK60:

Jeff, have you heard Hillman's Desert Rose Band? I've never heard them.

9:34am Doc Rock:

Good morning Bob & all the listeners.
Hey Jeff et. al.
Everything off to a slow start here this morning.

9:34am Jeff:

@TDK60, sure - I saw them play at the Bottom Line years ago and a mini-reunion at Iridium a few years back. Great band!

🥁

9:36am listener 126464:

Hi Bob, everyone. The Mina song is climbing up the Frostbite 5000 chart.

9:36am Bob Brainen:

Thanks Wendy! Wow, would love to hear Reggae version-if you think of artists pls. let us know.
Hey Doc Rock,

🥁

9:38am WilliamfromDumont:

I'd love to hear Clarence Curvan's take on Max Roach's Jazz In 3/4 Time.

9:40am YETI BOB:

@BobB: It was on Jeff Sarge's show and he doesn't do playlists so I'm not sure who it was.

9:41am YETI BOB:

@Bob: But I just found this great King Tubby version - www.fastcompany.com...

9:43am Marc Francis:

CHOOOOOOOON

9:48am Bob Brainen:

Hey listener 126464,

10:03am PT:

10:03am P-90:

Billy Connolly still alive (age 78) in Scotland

10:04am Dean:

Delius is marvelous. Lived for a time in Florida. Check out the box of orchestral and choral works conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham.

10:06am TDK60:

Bob, Is 302 Chestnut your street? What city?

10:08am Cooh John:

🥁

10:19am WilliamfromDumont:

Does it get any better than this Association tune?

10:19am Really Lisa:

I was enjoying the show while devouring a post-run grilled cheese on sourdough bread, Bob :)
Behind the wheel now. Appreciating the show!

10:19am Listener Bop Monroe:

everything is love!

10:21am Jeff:

I could listen to Everything That Touches You on an endless loop for the rest of my life

10:22am Dennis Diken:

ditto that Jeff!

10:24am Bob Brainen:

Nice Really Lisa, you're always active!
Yeah, the way the song moves and carries the melody and harmonies.
Denny D. Joe Osborne on bass?

🥁

10:26am WilliamfromDumont:

If It's not Osborne, it's Larry Knechtel.

10:29am Bob Brainen:

Yeah, Wm. I was thinking that too.

10:30am Andrew in Toronto:

Joe Osbourne is quadruple awesome.

10:31am YETI BOB:

this page says it's Joe Osborne (Knechtel was playing keys) le0pard13.com...

10:32am Michael Anthony Hall:

Quick correction: the Monk/Gryce track you played was Shuffle Boil, not Brake’s Sake.
You spun Brake’s Sake on last week’s show, IIRC.

-GC

10:36am watchpocket:

Bob, really diggin' the sounds today. I still remember the day I bought the Steve Miller Number Five & the first time I played it, blew me away. Great to hear you back on after the absence. (watchpocket = Rusty Hoover)

10:37am Bob Brainen:

Thanks Yeti,
Michael Anthony Hall. seriously? Than I may have played it twice. Thanks for correction! [ GC as in Ted? ]

10:38am Bob Brainen:

Hey thanks Rusty, it's been ages! Been missing FXO a lot lately!!

10:39am Jeff:

Hey, Nora’s mom, Marjorie, had a dance school in my old neighborhood - Sheepshead Bay. I got a chance to reminisce w/Nora a little while back at a street naming for Woody in Coney Island.

10:40am Jeff:

Danny Whitten!

10:40am Andrew in Toronto:

Bob is far superior to television!

🥁

10:41am WilliamfromDumont:

Nice. This album doesn't get enough love.

10:41am Bob Brainen:

Jeff, that is very cool.
Thanks Andrew, tv w/the sound off could be a good match, tho.

10:43am watchpocket:

Bob: re Frank, you're tellin' me, man. Missin' his smile and wit like crazy.

10:43am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Moby!

10:44am Peter from Dover NJ:

10:52am Andrew in Toronto:

Thanks for the great show, once again!

10:52am YETI BOB:

@RR: I'm with you - it's nice to have such a broad spectrum of music available. I have to pick and choose though, it's not all for me (and that's OK!)

10:53am DjLorraine:

Hold your head high schoolgirl

10:53am YETI BOB:

@RR: My cats don't really appreciate the snarling and gargling stuff, so I turn it off :)
