Bob, I avoided listening to this band for the longest time, because of the dumb-seeming (to me) name. But this music is great! Thanks for turning me on to it.

Glad you like Wm. Wondeful singer/writer and one of the smallish group of nylon string guitarists.
Glad you liked bbob.
Avatar 9:23am Zoot:

Just got the Chris Hillman bio.Should have some interesting tidbits about Gene.
Avatar 9:24am Joe M:

I'm not familiar with this Gene Clark song. It's killing me- those harmonies and 12 -strings!
  9:24am bigplanetnoise:

The first third of the Hillman book is a long read. It takes a while to get to the fun parts.
  9:24am Listener Robert:

For a second I thought it said, "Like the wrestlers want up above."
Avatar 9:25am Bob Brainen:

Zoot, I have to read that.
Glad to enjoyed Joe M.
But worth the read, Bob? Does he dwell on family background or something?

I must say, the Gene Clark "Mr. Tambourine Man" book was a depressing read. Took a few days to recover.

Morning Gina & Crei6hton.
davek, you got it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:28am melinda:

I don't know this series but I love Catherine Keener, this is great.
  9:29am bigplanetnoise:

Bob - yes - soooo much dwelling on incidental growing-up stories. Ten pages or so on his favorite horse, etc, etc. Some of those details are interesting - ie: the story about the real Old John Robertson, etc - but an editor was def needed. You’ll find yourself skimming, for sure.
  9:30am Jeff:

I liked the Hillman book. I was touched by his memories of his Jewish father, Chris’ aversion to racism at an early age, etc. I thought it was well written.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:30am dale:

i thought that was 'the new zoo review'

Good morning Bob & All. I've said it before and will say it again: can't tell you how happy I am this beautiful and comprehensive free form broadcast is back on the air.
