	9:12am Andrew in Toronto: @Jeff Were you taping?
	9:13am phat: Good morning! The only reason I'd be awake at 8:00am on a Saturday is this show.
	9:13am Bob Brainen: Hiya Wendy del Formaggio, sounds like a great show Jeff. Good question, Andrew!
	9:16am Bob Brainen: Hey phat, I'm honored. Morning is where it's at!
	9:16am CalZone!: MOTT THE F'N HOOPLE!
	9:17am Jeff: No Andrew in Toronto. Of the thousands of live gigs I’ve attended, I only taped one - Levon Helm & the RCO All Stars New Years Eve ‘77/‘78. On the tape, you can hear me saying “it’s not midnight yet” when the band walks off at 11 something leaving my girlfriend & I destined to celebrate the countdown on the subway back to Bklyn.
	9:17am TDK60: Hi Bob! Mott does Youngbloods, huh.
	9:18am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning Bob. Great opening set. Is this a thematic progression?
	9:18am Zoot: This is a surprise
	9:19am H Read: Jesse!
	🥁 9:20am wmfromdumont: Apparently written after a harrowing acid trip.
	9:21am PaulRobeson1920: Morning all
	9:21am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for that Jeff. Do you want to swap tapes?
	9:22am Sybil: Jesse Colin Young 😆
	9:22am Bob Brainen: Jeez, Jeff, I have never heard of a band not greeting the new year with their friggin' audience! They shoulda started the show later!
	9:23am Sybil: I named my son after him.
	9:24am CalZone!: Dave Pike Mania! It was all the rage!
	9:24am Sybil: and it wasn’t even his real name.
	9:24am Jeff: Andrew in Toronto - what tapes? That Helm NYE gig I recorded on a cassette. They actually released a CD of the show a few years back. I wouldn’t buy it on principle.
	9:25am egould310: 27° and snowing in Seattle. I’m going to stretch out real good and jog along the ship canal out to Husky Stadium. Glorious morning. Thanks for the soundtrack, Bob!
	9:25am Bob Brainen: Hey TDK60, yeah they covered some real interesting stuff. G'morning Peter from Dover NJ & Zoot, wow wm. never knew that. At least he got one of his greatest songs out of the (or)deal!
	9:27am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for clarifiying.
	9:27am Jeff: Yeah Bob, I was so pissed off. It was a great band: Helm, Butterfield, Dr John, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn + more. They left us stranded!
	9:27am Bob Brainen: Morning Peter from Dover NJ, Sybil, nice, that's the ultimate compliment! Yup, not his real name.
	9:28am phat: Groovy. I good dose of groovy.
	9:33am StringOFperils: Good morning. Got coffee. And I've got this, so that's a lagniappe. I figure I might come out ahead on this. Or at least break even.
	9:34am bigplanetnoise: Gooooood morning, Bob!!
	9:36am Gina Bacon: Morning!
	9:38am Nanker Phelge: Hello everyone. Good to be here while marking papers from my students...
	9:40am Bob Brainen: Hey to you, bigplanetnoise! And to you, Gina Bacon & Nanker Phelge!
	9:40am Jeff: Sundays = achingly beautiful
	9:41am Uncle Michael: Good morning. I'm taking a commenting break from pie-making.
	9:42am Bob Brainen: Good way to put it Jeff. There's pain there but joyfulness too, sorta like the Blues.
	🥁 9:43am wmfromdumont: Nice. The second D & C LP needs more love.
	9:43am StringOFperils: More of the achingly beautiful. Love this album so much.
	9:44am Corey: Good morning Bob and listeners! This Dillard and Clark is hitting the bullseye on this winter morning.
	9:45am bigplanetnoise: UM - I’d like to know more about the pies, please.
	9:45am Bob Brainen: Morning Uncle Michael, what flavor pie?
	9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oof - this tune Plant & Kraus covered. Scorpio Brutha Gene. Deep. How was he not huge. Oof.
	9:45am Bob Brainen: wm. thanks, you made me remember I left out something!
	9:47am Bob Brainen: bpn, I'll meet you at Grandmas on Central!
	9:47am bigplanetnoise: Hahahaha! You got it, Bob!!
	9:48am Bob Brainen: Revolution Rabbit Nov63, they did Polly? Not a Plant fan, but sure dig the work with A. Krauss!
	9:49am Uncle Michael: Blueberry, Bob.
	9:50am Bob Brainen: Blueberry will do just fine. Can you make it crumb, please? The best part of the pie is the crust!
	9:53am thedunkel: RUTH RUTH RUTH
	9:53am CalZone!: Kaddo Strings, early Dennis Coffey? Super cool!
	9:55am Bob Brainen: CalZone! I' know very little about them besides label and Detroit connection. Were they on a lot of records?
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Blueberries - so full of phytochemical nutrients & so delicious.
	9:55am Jeff: Hey, I know it looks like I’m bragging, but I did get to see Monk live a couple of times.
	9:56am bigplanetnoise: I’m thinking of how nice it would be if we actually COULD meet at Grandma’s. Hot cup, a piece of something, and catching up with you...
	9:56am Doc Rock: @Jeff - I was at and remember that gig at NYU.
	9:57am Uncle Michael: Sorry, Bob. It's going to have a lattice top. A deal breaker?
	9:58am Jeff: Doc, I didn’t know you were there!
	9:58am Zoot: Was listening to Chick Corea and Gary Burton.Then Gary and Astor Pizzolla. Now on to Astor Pizzolla’s albums. Wow
	9:58am Bob Brainen: It's not braggin' Jeff!
	10:00am Bob Brainen: oops! Jumped the gun on playlist.
	10:00am CalZone!: BB, According to Discogs they are listed on a few 45 releases, but mostly 'Nothing But Love' on different pressings/versions. Arranged by Coffey.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: Applause applause applause clap clap clap
	🥁 10:00am wmfromdumont: Who is this?
	10:00am Bob Brainen: Me to Bob. When's the last time you came north?
	10:01am Bob Brainen: Should be on there now: Sunshine Ward
	10:02am Mark R: That Palo Alto record was such a great discovery. Imagine a high school kid booking Thelonious Monk to play in the school auditorium! (I wonder how much Monk got paid? He must have had some other west coast dates. I can't imagine him flying all the way out to California to play at a high school for peanuts. I know he was going through some tough times, but geez...)
	10:02am Uncle Michael: Bob...and Bob, and Gina and all the other DJs reading, we need a major pilgrimage for Marathon 2022.
	10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Huzzah for Ruth!
	10:03am bigplanetnoise: @Bob - it’s been several years. Trying hard for this Spring. Depending on vaccinations, of course. I really miss it, bigtime.
	10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o track. Sounds like starts @ Monkees, sees Raiders from there...almost makes it to Moby Grape. Perpetually awed there are still endless great 1960s records I have no idea about whatsoever ! ...Lotsa Boomers alright...
	10:03am bigplanetnoise: UM - most absolutely definitely!!
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monk - just stopped yeah ? He's 2nd only to Trane for me - but I realize I know very little about his biographical particulars if I think about it... He liked to obscure himself is part of it I'm sure...
	🥁 10:07am Gina Bacon: We really do, Uncle Michael!
	10:08am Mark R: He suffered from mental illness, Rev. Rabbit--I don't think he was too comfortable socially, with non-musicians and people he didn't know.
	10:08am Uncle Michael: You guys will love the Drummer dim sum brunch!
	10:09am Uncle Michael: You guys will love the Drummer dim sum brunch. ok...back to the pie.
	10:10am Bob Brainen: Rev. I hope we never run out of new discoveries...of old and new things!
	10:11am Mark R: John Lewis as in John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet?
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course I should start with the 'Straight No Chaser' film from 1988...
	10:12am Bob Brainen: Mark R, it really is a wonderful and improbable story! Gives you hope there are other tapes and stuff to be unearthed.
	10:13am fred: @UM, Gina and Bobs: Stick around for the Hoof'n'mouth, and perform! I won't hear it, but many will
	10:14am ?: greetings from sunny sunny Tannersville all. just finished bacon sandwich, yum. Incredible sets so far Mr. BB!!
	10:21am Bob Brainen: Hey ? in Tannersville, thanks!
	10:21am phat: Billy Connolly? I did not know.
	10:22am Listener Bop Monroe: 'tis I in Tannersville! great sets all!
	10:24am Bob Brainen: Phat, tis so.
	10:24am watchpocket: Wow - the way Fergie bends his notes around so takes me back to the early NRBQ. I'm going to have to spring for that album.
	10:24am Listener Bop Monroe: thought this was opening to Batfink or Milton the Monster... but Mad Monster Party rules!
	10:25am Jeff: Hey Bob, did you watch Chiller Theater on channel 11 w/Zacharle?
	10:25am phat: More grooviness.
	10:25am Bob Brainen: Hey is there anyone who can show me very basic HTML so I can post a link that'scslickable? I used to know formula but forrgot it.
	10:26am StringOFperils: @MarkR > The 16 yr old kid & mentors who set that Monk matinee up...contacted Jules Colomby, Monk's manager, and secured a contract for an afternoon concert at Palo Alto High School while the bandleader was in San Francisco for a run at the Jazz Workshop club in North Beach. paloaltoonline.com...
	10:27am Bob Brainen: Jeff, I remember Zacherle most from his TV show filmed in Newark, N.J.There were teen bands and dancers and stuff. Chiller Theatre I'll never forget the hand coming up out of the grave but don't recall a host. Watched it all the time.
	10:28am Bob Brainen: Yes links like this one! I need to relearn!
	10:29am watchpocket: Damn, Bob, I just gave you link code twice but it didn't post either time.
	10:29am Zoot: Wasn’t Zacherie on WNEW-FM?
	🥁 10:29am wmfromdumont: Some of that California Soul. I do dig it.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Here in NewHampshuh no Horror Hosts on channels we got. But there was Creature Double Feature Sat. P.M.s on Channel 5 outta Boston - & we did get the Chiller hand outta NYC I believe...
	10:30am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket, can i contact you after the show? Ken tried to show me but it didn't stick.
	10:30am Sully510: Speaking of California. Good morning from Berkeley.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& knew Zacherle from 'Dinner With Drac' track which is boss...
	10:31am Bob Brainen: The Chiller hand creeped me out every single Sat. night! It did it's job!
	10:31am watchpocket: Try again: <a href="watchpocket.net>my site</a>
	10:31am Rick from SC: Hi Bob and all. Thanks for bringing up Chiller Theater. I used to love that opening
	10:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Bob! About to head out on the road, but I'll be tuned in for the duration…
	10:34am watchpocket: (Don't use my example above, it's incomplete.) I tried!
	10:34am Pauly from Clifton: RR Nove63, Rick from SC, I just loved that Chiller hand. Great childhood memories!
	10:35am Bob Brainen: Hey Rick from SC & Sully510 from Sunny Cali. Have fun Greg. Hey Pauly, none of us who witnessed it will ever forget that hand! Of course it's on Youtube.
	10:36am fred: @Bob: Ask Kenzo. It might be too late for today's show, but you'll know for sure by next week
	10:36am WM: I'm glad you make a point of playing at least one Strata-East release every show. Really I think WFMU should have at least one Jazz show, focusing especially on 1960s, post-Coltrane and the Loft Jazz era. Thanks for your contribution in this direction.
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We better have it then ! : www.youtube.com... Stop motion has an inherent creepiness - or can...
	🥁 10:37am wmfromdumont: Hey I'm only getting a right channel signal.
	10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WM - do you know Destination Out ? : wfmu.org...
	10:39am Bob Brainen: WM, it's a wonderful label: by musicians, like a coop. Ther was Debiut and there was Strata from Detroit and Tribe, etc. I did this Strata East thing maybe 15 years ago on my show.
	10:39am Listener Bop Monroe: OMG Thank You RRN63!!! seeing the hand i reverted back to a scared 7 year old!
	10:40am WM: Is Listener Bob Monroe the same guy who used to play keyboards in the Brooklyn band Frank's Museum? If so I still remember the good times I had listening to your music. If not, please excuse my presumption.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wmfromdumont you're right.
	10:40am Thurston Howl: left channel out online
	10:40am Bob Brainen: I think that one channel thing is on my end, not the station!
	10:40am adamdoesit: RevRabbit, I remember the Creature Double Feature! Also pointing my rabbit ears north across the NH border to pick up Doctor Who on your PBS affiliate. I was thinking about Monk's mental illness last night. I was listening to Thelonious Himself (1957), and felt I heard a playfulness and aliveness there that seemed to fade over time, as if he went into hiding behind his own image.
	10:41am Thurston Howl: ok now
	🥁 10:41am wmfromdumont: Yeah Bob, it must be whatever component you played that Dolphy track on.
	10:43am juan: This is a really wonderful Monk bio by R.D.G Kelley bookshop.org...
	10:43am Bob Brainen: Yean wm, I thought I might lose both channels if I tried fiixing it, I knew it'd be back to both channels.
	10:43am -Ken: Bob, contact me later today about the html business
	🥁 10:44am Gina Bacon: My uncle used to hang out with Monk, but never talked out of school...I wish he had told some stories!
	10:44am Bob Brainen: Hey juan, agree. Most complete. Thanks Ken, will do!
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup Stereo. Seems like hyperbole - but I've equated Monk with Syd Barrett as someone whose Art communicates a whole different nervous system to us. Not neurotypical we say now. Just reading wiki manic depression seems an easy diagnosis for Monk.
	10:45am watchpocket: Bob check your email for link code.
	10:45am Bob Brainen: Gina, that is a cool uncle, was he a musician?
	10:45am Listener Bop Monroe: wm yes, the same i am; we of the thunderous haunted house sound. good times! Frank's Museum was very special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ObytJLAlh8 Sal still plays upstate these days. Ghandi lives In The Bagwhan's Body body body!
	10:46am Bob Brainen: wm. will do, thanks!
	10:46am WM: Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oops! How did I miss that? Thanks for the tip.
	10:47am Kpx: I always thought mad monster party was worthy of a remake and hope that they would someday by director Tim Burton. Oh and Bob the hand came up from a swamp, not a grave.
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: juan Thx
	10:48am Bob Brainen: Yeah many areas had their own host and fright films.I loved when things were regional and had their own flavor. Global village is cool, but distinctness is too.
	10:48am Listener Bop Monroe: and another Animals connection! Little Alan Price...
	10:49am Bob Brainen: Yesirree Bop.
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monster Show book & Monster Kid Radio podcast have schooled me on Horror Hosts...
	10:49am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	10:50am Bob Brainen: Kpx, a swamp is equally creepy!
	🥁 10:50am Gina Bacon: He was a musician and did a lot of the album covers for Blue Note and Riverside...Paul Bacon. He got Monk in the little red wagon! But they were friends.
	10:51am watchpocket: In Pittsburgh it was Chiller Theater with "Chilly Billy Cardilly."
	10:51am Lisa C: I’m late to the party but so very happy you’re back Bob...Saturday mornings❤️
	10:52am Bob Brainen: I know his work well! The wagon is beyond iconic! Wow! Very cool Gina! Kirk Silsbee on Facebook just featured him! KS's archives are astounding.
	10:52am phat: Dr. Sanguinary for me. He was a legend in Omaha and Lincoln.
	10:52am PaulRobeson1920: @adamdoesit @10:40 living in a segregated (sick)society and being subjected to the indignities and economics of Jim Crow did not help Monk’s mental health
	10:53am adamdoesit: Diagnoses are easy. :) To say that he was totally unique, deeply rooted in musical tradition, and badly damaged by his contact with American society would be to describe not just Monk but a great many of his peers.
	10:53am Bob Brainen: Hey Lisa C, welcome and...there's always the archive!
	10:54am adamdoesit: @PaulRobeson1920 You took the words right out of my mouth, without the mumbles.
	🥁 10:54am Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob...he was my hero!
	10:54am WM: Listener Bob Monroe: I heard Frank's Museum many, many times at Lauderbach's CBGB's and other venues. I always had a great time listening to your music. Hope you and all the other Museum exhibits are doing very well.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bud Powell was badly damaged by a baton to the head...
	10:56am Corey: Thanks Bob and skeleton crew! That one flew by. Enjoy your Saturday all.
	10:56am Bob Brainen: Hey bpn, my friend Pete found out Grandmas closed! I'm crushed. This damn plague has changed EVERYTHING! But FMU has been here all along. It coulnd't stop us!!
	10:56am adamdoesit: @Gina I love that little red wagon cover! Monk's Music is a desert island disc for me. Now I know who to thank for the art.
	10:56am gf2002: Dr. Shock was the host in Philly, and we also had "Creature Double Feature" on channel 17 back in the day! Zacherley was a Philly native too before he moved to New York. Love the clip of The Box Tops on his Disc-O-Teen show that's on YouTube
	🥁 10:57am Gina Bacon: I love that album too, adamdoes it...but I love all of them!
	10:57am gf2002: Another great show this morning, thanks for the great music!
	10:57am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another awesome show Bob. We`ll see you all next week.
	🥁 10:57am Gina Bacon: I loved that mystery track! I hope someone identifies it.
	10:57am juan: thanks for another great show Bob !
	10:57am bigplanetnoise: Bob - yes - closed. That’s ok - we’ll meet at my place! Thanks for a super-great show!!!
	10:57am MikeyfromNC: Great show Bob - - thanks!
	10:57am Listener Bop Monroe: wm Glad to know we made a good impression! one of the highpoints of my life/memories. yes so far we're all ok all over the USA wow that was a fast 2 hours. thnx again Mr. BB. takata ta-ta!
	10:58am Jeff: Bob, thanks for the music and conversation. You make things better!
	🥁 10:58am wmfromdumont: Great show as always Bob.
	10:58am Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Bob.
	🥁 10:58am Gina Bacon: Googe has a song indentifier now, but I don't know if it's good. When you tap the mic to search on the phone app, it pops up.
	10:58am bigplanetnoise: Thanks for the wonderful show, Bob. Apologies if this post repeats - having probs making it show up.
	🥁 10:59am Gina Bacon: Thanks for a lovely morning, Bob!
	10:59am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff Bob & Company. Peace and LoVe always
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY !
	10:59am adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, Bob.
	🥁 10:59am Gina Bacon: Google, that is. Typo!
	11:00am CalZone!: Thanks Bob! Super show!
	11:01am Frank Zaatar: The singer and harpist on that King of Slang track sounds a lot like Pigpen to me.
	10:19pm Eugene Bentley: Enjoyed your show. I like the Dillard and Clark selection-- one that's not on my Byrd Parts cd. And only you can go from Boris Karloff to the Funk Brothers. If you haven't already, check out the DVD Standing In the Shadows of Motown.

	9:13am Bob Brainen: Hiya Wendy del Formaggio, sounds like a great show Jeff. Good question, Andrew!
	9:16am Bob Brainen: Hey phat, I'm honored. Morning is where it's at!
	9:16am CalZone!: MOTT THE F'N HOOPLE!
	9:17am Jeff: No Andrew in Toronto. Of the thousands of live gigs I’ve attended, I only taped one - Levon Helm & the RCO All Stars New Years Eve ‘77/‘78. On the tape, you can hear me saying “it’s not midnight yet” when the band walks off at 11 something leaving my girlfriend & I destined to celebrate the countdown on the subway back to Bklyn.
	9:17am TDK60: Hi Bob! Mott does Youngbloods, huh.
	9:18am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning Bob. Great opening set. Is this a thematic progression?
	9:18am Zoot: This is a surprise
	9:19am H Read: Jesse!
	🥁 9:20am wmfromdumont: Apparently written after a harrowing acid trip.
	9:21am PaulRobeson1920: Morning all
	9:21am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for that Jeff. Do you want to swap tapes?
	9:22am Sybil: Jesse Colin Young 😆
	9:22am Bob Brainen: Jeez, Jeff, I have never heard of a band not greeting the new year with their friggin' audience! They shoulda started the show later!
	9:23am Sybil: I named my son after him.
	9:24am CalZone!: Dave Pike Mania! It was all the rage!
	9:24am Sybil: and it wasn’t even his real name.
	9:24am Jeff: Andrew in Toronto - what tapes? That Helm NYE gig I recorded on a cassette. They actually released a CD of the show a few years back. I wouldn’t buy it on principle.
	9:25am egould310: 27° and snowing in Seattle. I’m going to stretch out real good and jog along the ship canal out to Husky Stadium. Glorious morning. Thanks for the soundtrack, Bob!
	9:25am Bob Brainen: Hey TDK60, yeah they covered some real interesting stuff. G'morning Peter from Dover NJ & Zoot, wow wm. never knew that. At least he got one of his greatest songs out of the (or)deal!
	9:27am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for clarifiying.
	9:27am Jeff: Yeah Bob, I was so pissed off. It was a great band: Helm, Butterfield, Dr John, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn + more. They left us stranded!
	9:27am Bob Brainen: Morning Peter from Dover NJ, Sybil, nice, that's the ultimate compliment! Yup, not his real name.
	9:28am phat: Groovy. I good dose of groovy.
	9:33am StringOFperils: Good morning. Got coffee. And I've got this, so that's a lagniappe. I figure I might come out ahead on this. Or at least break even.
	9:34am bigplanetnoise: Gooooood morning, Bob!!
	9:36am Gina Bacon: Morning!
	9:38am Nanker Phelge: Hello everyone. Good to be here while marking papers from my students...
	9:40am Bob Brainen: Hey to you, bigplanetnoise! And to you, Gina Bacon & Nanker Phelge!
	9:40am Jeff: Sundays = achingly beautiful
	9:41am Uncle Michael: Good morning. I'm taking a commenting break from pie-making.
	9:42am Bob Brainen: Good way to put it Jeff. There's pain there but joyfulness too, sorta like the Blues.
	🥁 9:43am wmfromdumont: Nice. The second D & C LP needs more love.
	9:43am StringOFperils: More of the achingly beautiful. Love this album so much.
	9:44am Corey: Good morning Bob and listeners! This Dillard and Clark is hitting the bullseye on this winter morning.
	9:45am bigplanetnoise: UM - I’d like to know more about the pies, please.
	9:45am Bob Brainen: Morning Uncle Michael, what flavor pie?
	9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oof - this tune Plant & Kraus covered. Scorpio Brutha Gene. Deep. How was he not huge. Oof.
	9:45am Bob Brainen: wm. thanks, you made me remember I left out something!
	9:47am Bob Brainen: bpn, I'll meet you at Grandmas on Central!
	9:47am bigplanetnoise: Hahahaha! You got it, Bob!!
	9:48am Bob Brainen: Revolution Rabbit Nov63, they did Polly? Not a Plant fan, but sure dig the work with A. Krauss!
	9:49am Uncle Michael: Blueberry, Bob.
	9:50am Bob Brainen: Blueberry will do just fine. Can you make it crumb, please? The best part of the pie is the crust!
	9:53am thedunkel: RUTH RUTH RUTH
	9:53am CalZone!: Kaddo Strings, early Dennis Coffey? Super cool!
	9:55am Bob Brainen: CalZone! I' know very little about them besides label and Detroit connection. Were they on a lot of records?
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Blueberries - so full of phytochemical nutrients & so delicious.
	9:55am Jeff: Hey, I know it looks like I’m bragging, but I did get to see Monk live a couple of times.
	9:56am bigplanetnoise: I’m thinking of how nice it would be if we actually COULD meet at Grandma’s. Hot cup, a piece of something, and catching up with you...
	9:56am Doc Rock: @Jeff - I was at and remember that gig at NYU.
	9:57am Uncle Michael: Sorry, Bob. It's going to have a lattice top. A deal breaker?
	9:58am Jeff: Doc, I didn’t know you were there!
	9:58am Zoot: Was listening to Chick Corea and Gary Burton.Then Gary and Astor Pizzolla. Now on to Astor Pizzolla’s albums. Wow
	9:58am Bob Brainen: It's not braggin' Jeff!
	10:00am Bob Brainen: oops! Jumped the gun on playlist.
	10:00am CalZone!: BB, According to Discogs they are listed on a few 45 releases, but mostly 'Nothing But Love' on different pressings/versions. Arranged by Coffey.
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: Applause applause applause clap clap clap
	🥁 10:00am wmfromdumont: Who is this?
	10:00am Bob Brainen: Me to Bob. When's the last time you came north?
	10:01am Bob Brainen: Should be on there now: Sunshine Ward
	10:02am Mark R: That Palo Alto record was such a great discovery. Imagine a high school kid booking Thelonious Monk to play in the school auditorium! (I wonder how much Monk got paid? He must have had some other west coast dates. I can't imagine him flying all the way out to California to play at a high school for peanuts. I know he was going through some tough times, but geez...)
	10:02am Uncle Michael: Bob...and Bob, and Gina and all the other DJs reading, we need a major pilgrimage for Marathon 2022.
	10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Huzzah for Ruth!
	10:03am bigplanetnoise: @Bob - it’s been several years. Trying hard for this Spring. Depending on vaccinations, of course. I really miss it, bigtime.
	10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neat-o track. Sounds like starts @ Monkees, sees Raiders from there...almost makes it to Moby Grape. Perpetually awed there are still endless great 1960s records I have no idea about whatsoever ! ...Lotsa Boomers alright...
	10:03am bigplanetnoise: UM - most absolutely definitely!!
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monk - just stopped yeah ? He's 2nd only to Trane for me - but I realize I know very little about his biographical particulars if I think about it... He liked to obscure himself is part of it I'm sure...
	🥁 10:07am Gina Bacon: We really do, Uncle Michael!
	10:08am Mark R: He suffered from mental illness, Rev. Rabbit--I don't think he was too comfortable socially, with non-musicians and people he didn't know.
	10:08am Uncle Michael: You guys will love the Drummer dim sum brunch!
	10:09am Uncle Michael: You guys will love the Drummer dim sum brunch. ok...back to the pie.
	10:10am Bob Brainen: Rev. I hope we never run out of new discoveries...of old and new things!
	10:11am Mark R: John Lewis as in John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet?
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course I should start with the 'Straight No Chaser' film from 1988...
	10:12am Bob Brainen: Mark R, it really is a wonderful and improbable story! Gives you hope there are other tapes and stuff to be unearthed.
	10:13am fred: @UM, Gina and Bobs: Stick around for the Hoof'n'mouth, and perform! I won't hear it, but many will
	10:14am ?: greetings from sunny sunny Tannersville all. just finished bacon sandwich, yum. Incredible sets so far Mr. BB!!
	10:21am Bob Brainen: Hey ? in Tannersville, thanks!
	10:21am phat: Billy Connolly? I did not know.
	10:22am Listener Bop Monroe: 'tis I in Tannersville! great sets all!
	10:24am Bob Brainen: Phat, tis so.
	10:24am watchpocket: Wow - the way Fergie bends his notes around so takes me back to the early NRBQ. I'm going to have to spring for that album.
	10:24am Listener Bop Monroe: thought this was opening to Batfink or Milton the Monster... but Mad Monster Party rules!
	10:25am Jeff: Hey Bob, did you watch Chiller Theater on channel 11 w/Zacharle?
	10:25am phat: More grooviness.
	10:25am Bob Brainen: Hey is there anyone who can show me very basic HTML so I can post a link that'scslickable? I used to know formula but forrgot it.
	10:26am StringOFperils: @MarkR > The 16 yr old kid & mentors who set that Monk matinee up...contacted Jules Colomby, Monk's manager, and secured a contract for an afternoon concert at Palo Alto High School while the bandleader was in San Francisco for a run at the Jazz Workshop club in North Beach. paloaltoonline.com...
	10:27am Bob Brainen: Jeff, I remember Zacherle most from his TV show filmed in Newark, N.J.There were teen bands and dancers and stuff. Chiller Theatre I'll never forget the hand coming up out of the grave but don't recall a host. Watched it all the time.
	10:28am Bob Brainen: Yes links like this one! I need to relearn!
	10:29am watchpocket: Damn, Bob, I just gave you link code twice but it didn't post either time.
	10:29am Zoot: Wasn’t Zacherie on WNEW-FM?
	🥁 10:29am wmfromdumont: Some of that California Soul. I do dig it.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Here in NewHampshuh no Horror Hosts on channels we got. But there was Creature Double Feature Sat. P.M.s on Channel 5 outta Boston - & we did get the Chiller hand outta NYC I believe...
	10:30am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket, can i contact you after the show? Ken tried to show me but it didn't stick.
	10:30am Sully510: Speaking of California. Good morning from Berkeley.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& knew Zacherle from 'Dinner With Drac' track which is boss...
	10:31am Bob Brainen: The Chiller hand creeped me out every single Sat. night! It did it's job!
	10:31am watchpocket: Try again: <a href="watchpocket.net>my site</a>
	10:31am Rick from SC: Hi Bob and all. Thanks for bringing up Chiller Theater. I used to love that opening
	10:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Bob! About to head out on the road, but I'll be tuned in for the duration…
	10:34am watchpocket: (Don't use my example above, it's incomplete.) I tried!
	10:34am Pauly from Clifton: RR Nove63, Rick from SC, I just loved that Chiller hand. Great childhood memories!
	10:35am Bob Brainen: Hey Rick from SC & Sully510 from Sunny Cali. Have fun Greg. Hey Pauly, none of us who witnessed it will ever forget that hand! Of course it's on Youtube.
	10:36am fred: @Bob: Ask Kenzo. It might be too late for today's show, but you'll know for sure by next week
	10:36am WM: I'm glad you make a point of playing at least one Strata-East release every show. Really I think WFMU should have at least one Jazz show, focusing especially on 1960s, post-Coltrane and the Loft Jazz era. Thanks for your contribution in this direction.
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We better have it then ! : www.youtube.com... Stop motion has an inherent creepiness - or can...
	🥁 10:37am wmfromdumont: Hey I'm only getting a right channel signal.
	10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WM - do you know Destination Out ? : wfmu.org...
	10:39am Bob Brainen: WM, it's a wonderful label: by musicians, like a coop. Ther was Debiut and there was Strata from Detroit and Tribe, etc. I did this Strata East thing maybe 15 years ago on my show.
	10:39am Listener Bop Monroe: OMG Thank You RRN63!!! seeing the hand i reverted back to a scared 7 year old!
	10:40am WM: Is Listener Bob Monroe the same guy who used to play keyboards in the Brooklyn band Frank's Museum? If so I still remember the good times I had listening to your music. If not, please excuse my presumption.
	10:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wmfromdumont you're right.
	10:40am Thurston Howl: left channel out online
	10:40am Bob Brainen: I think that one channel thing is on my end, not the station!
	10:40am adamdoesit: RevRabbit, I remember the Creature Double Feature! Also pointing my rabbit ears north across the NH border to pick up Doctor Who on your PBS affiliate. I was thinking about Monk's mental illness last night. I was listening to Thelonious Himself (1957), and felt I heard a playfulness and aliveness there that seemed to fade over time, as if he went into hiding behind his own image.
	10:41am Thurston Howl: ok now
	🥁 10:41am wmfromdumont: Yeah Bob, it must be whatever component you played that Dolphy track on.
	10:43am juan: This is a really wonderful Monk bio by R.D.G Kelley bookshop.org...
	10:43am Bob Brainen: Yean wm, I thought I might lose both channels if I tried fiixing it, I knew it'd be back to both channels.
	10:43am -Ken: Bob, contact me later today about the html business
	🥁 10:44am Gina Bacon: My uncle used to hang out with Monk, but never talked out of school...I wish he had told some stories!
	10:44am Bob Brainen: Hey juan, agree. Most complete. Thanks Ken, will do!
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup Stereo. Seems like hyperbole - but I've equated Monk with Syd Barrett as someone whose Art communicates a whole different nervous system to us. Not neurotypical we say now. Just reading wiki manic depression seems an easy diagnosis for Monk.
	10:45am watchpocket: Bob check your email for link code.
	10:45am Bob Brainen: Gina, that is a cool uncle, was he a musician?
	10:45am Listener Bop Monroe: wm yes, the same i am; we of the thunderous haunted house sound. good times! Frank's Museum was very special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ObytJLAlh8 Sal still plays upstate these days. Ghandi lives In The Bagwhan's Body body body!
	10:46am Bob Brainen: wm. will do, thanks!
	10:46am WM: Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oops! How did I miss that? Thanks for the tip.
	10:47am Kpx: I always thought mad monster party was worthy of a remake and hope that they would someday by director Tim Burton. Oh and Bob the hand came up from a swamp, not a grave.
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: juan Thx
	10:48am Bob Brainen: Yeah many areas had their own host and fright films.I loved when things were regional and had their own flavor. Global village is cool, but distinctness is too.
	10:48am Listener Bop Monroe: and another Animals connection! Little Alan Price...
	10:49am Bob Brainen: Yesirree Bop.
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monster Show book & Monster Kid Radio podcast have schooled me on Horror Hosts...
	10:49am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	10:50am Bob Brainen: Kpx, a swamp is equally creepy!
	🥁 10:50am Gina Bacon: He was a musician and did a lot of the album covers for Blue Note and Riverside...Paul Bacon. He got Monk in the little red wagon! But they were friends.
	10:51am watchpocket: In Pittsburgh it was Chiller Theater with "Chilly Billy Cardilly."
	10:51am Lisa C: I’m late to the party but so very happy you’re back Bob...Saturday mornings❤️
	10:52am Bob Brainen: I know his work well! The wagon is beyond iconic! Wow! Very cool Gina! Kirk Silsbee on Facebook just featured him! KS's archives are astounding.
	10:52am phat: Dr. Sanguinary for me. He was a legend in Omaha and Lincoln.
	10:52am PaulRobeson1920: @adamdoesit @10:40 living in a segregated (sick)society and being subjected to the indignities and economics of Jim Crow did not help Monk’s mental health
	10:53am adamdoesit: Diagnoses are easy. :) To say that he was totally unique, deeply rooted in musical tradition, and badly damaged by his contact with American society would be to describe not just Monk but a great many of his peers.
	10:53am Bob Brainen: Hey Lisa C, welcome and...there's always the archive!
	10:54am adamdoesit: @PaulRobeson1920 You took the words right out of my mouth, without the mumbles.
	🥁 10:54am Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob...he was my hero!
	10:54am WM: Listener Bob Monroe: I heard Frank's Museum many, many times at Lauderbach's CBGB's and other venues. I always had a great time listening to your music. Hope you and all the other Museum exhibits are doing very well.
	10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bud Powell was badly damaged by a baton to the head...
	10:56am Corey: Thanks Bob and skeleton crew! That one flew by. Enjoy your Saturday all.
	10:56am Bob Brainen: Hey bpn, my friend Pete found out Grandmas closed! I'm crushed. This damn plague has changed EVERYTHING! But FMU has been here all along. It coulnd't stop us!!
	10:56am adamdoesit: @Gina I love that little red wagon cover! Monk's Music is a desert island disc for me. Now I know who to thank for the art.
	10:56am gf2002: Dr. Shock was the host in Philly, and we also had "Creature Double Feature" on channel 17 back in the day! Zacherley was a Philly native too before he moved to New York. Love the clip of The Box Tops on his Disc-O-Teen show that's on YouTube
	🥁 10:57am Gina Bacon: I love that album too, adamdoes it...but I love all of them!
	10:57am gf2002: Another great show this morning, thanks for the great music!
	10:57am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another awesome show Bob. We`ll see you all next week.
	🥁 10:57am Gina Bacon: I loved that mystery track! I hope someone identifies it.

	10:58am Jeff: Bob, thanks for the music and conversation. You make things better!
	🥁 10:58am wmfromdumont: Great show as always Bob.
	10:58am Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Bob.
	🥁 10:58am Gina Bacon: Googe has a song indentifier now, but I don't know if it's good. When you tap the mic to search on the phone app, it pops up.
	10:58am bigplanetnoise: Thanks for the wonderful show, Bob. Apologies if this post repeats - having probs making it show up.
	🥁 10:59am Gina Bacon: Thanks for a lovely morning, Bob!
	10:59am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff Bob & Company. Peace and LoVe always
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY !

	🥁 10:59am Gina Bacon: Google, that is. Typo!
	11:00am CalZone!: Thanks Bob! Super show!
	11:01am Frank Zaatar: The singer and harpist on that King of Slang track sounds a lot like Pigpen to me.
	10:19pm Eugene Bentley: Enjoyed your show. I like the Dillard and Clark selection-- one that's not on my Byrd Parts cd. And only you can go from Boris Karloff to the Funk Brothers. If you haven't already, check out the DVD Standing In the Shadows of Motown.
