	11:27am Asheville Jon: nice to hear Beefheart, as always!
	11:28am solo mon: Love the captain!
	🥁 11:28am wmfromdumont: Beefheart in Mono!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Asheville Jon, always is right!
	🥁 11:29am chresti: solo mon, not on Sheenas?
	11:30am Franco Twinkie: Safe as milk - I never heard it put quite that way!
	11:30am Robbie White: Abba Zabba is the Beefheart song I hear the most on the radio
	11:31am TDK60: I don't have a fave Captain B. album. Every time I designate one as The Fave, I change my mind later. Not to lay a trip on ya..
	11:31am solo mon: Chresti/ spodi - Just helping fill out the rock n soul roster. I’m excited to be there! Arb coming along too mondays will be the same just different xoxox
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: I first heard Diddy Wah Diddy. It was big on KFWB in L.A.
	11:33am solo mon: The velvetttes song is so good.
	11:33am spodiodi: then Rock n Soul it is! cool
	11:35am TDK60: Procol H! Love this Side 2 suite, very Sixties. A trip. Love this LP.
	11:35am Franco Twinkie: In 1966 Captain Beefheart was on 9th Street West, an afternoon teen dance show. They had a babies face on the front of the kickdrum. So much better that the name of the band I thought.
	11:37am dan: Got to hear Procol Harum perform the whole of In Held ‘Twas In I at Westbury Music Fair in 2010. I was pleasantly shocked that they even played it.
	🥁 11:38am wmfromdumont: Love the cover art for Shine On Brightly. Wild.
	11:38am dan: Matthew Fisher does the spoken word here
	11:39am luka: Franco, one of my favorite things on youtube is that clip of Beefheart calling in on American Bandstand before they play “diddy wah diddy” and he’s talking to that girl on the phone after the request. it’s so sinister.
	11:41am Joe M: Morning, all!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Franco, I hope that clip survived! There's a baby face on Safe As Milk, I think. wmfromdumont, agree! Ever see the UK cover?
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: I've never seen that luka!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Morning Joe M!
	11:43am luka: oh you must, must see it. search for “beefheart american bandstand” and it’ll come through.
	🥁 11:45am wmfromdumont: Bob I haven't. I'll check it out.
	11:46am Franco Twinkie: The first time I saw Captain Beefheart live they did the most amazing thing. They were paying Alice In Blunderland and it slowly started morphing into Abba Zabba. It would retreat, then reappear until they went into like a runaway train. It was so thrilling!
	11:46am dan: Gary Brooker is one of the few singers in rock and roll whose voice remains unchanged after over 50 years.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: wm I've only seen it in pix. Don't think I ever saw an actual copy, but it's a shock to the system at first!
	11:48am Little Danny: Hello Bob, hello all.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Franco, what era/line-up? That sounds like something a Jazz band would do. Like 70-ish?
	11:50am dan: The last part of this song is what they play at the Pearly Gates in heaven
	11:50am Franco Twinkie: It was 1972. The Spotlight Kid.
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Hey Little Danny!
	11:50am doctorjazz: Haven't heard this PC in ages, nice! Hi all-keep me company installing a bike rack with my 10 thumbs.
	11:51am solo mon: Floating on a guitar solo
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Franco, very cool.
	11:52am TDK60: Clap+! Thanks for playing that, Bob.
	11:52am Little Danny: Hi you west coasters!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: TDK60, my pleasure, I hadn't heard it in awhile myself!
	11:53am solo mon: Wow shelleyann orphan, haven’t heard them for ever!!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: How are things in Tejas?
	🥁 11:53am wmfromdumont: Haven't heard that in a long time. Sounded great. The title track is my personal fave Procol track.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: solo mon, I heart Shelleyan Orphan!
	11:54am northguineahills: danks, Bob!
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: Hey Danny!
	11:56am WR: As long as you still have 10 thumbs at the end of the installation, it is a success doc.
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz!
	11:57am Little Danny: All good here, Bob. Planting tomatillo starts with my niece and listening!
	11:58am Bob Brainen: wm, that's a great track, killer guitar. I love so many Procol songs I couldn't choose a fave. Unique band!
	11:58am Franco Twinkie: Everybody look at WR's profile page. He has a picture of the Safe As Milk Baby!
	11:58am WR: Another Bruce Palmer track! Thank you Bob!
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Cool Little Danny!
	12:00pm Bob Brainen: WR, my pleasure!
	12:00pm WR: Franco, some day I will dig out my Safe As Milk bumper sticker that Vliet signed.
	12:01pm northguineahills: Omg, LD, I miss my tomatillos in my garden!
	12:01pm WR: My Baby Shines is what he wrote on it.
	12:01pm gene sculatti: What a great Steve Miller track. Long forgotten (by me).
	12:01pm Ross T.: As always love that pre-Joker Steve Miller Band....
	🥁 12:03pm wmfromdumont: So now The Cycle Really Is Complete
	12:03pm Little Danny: @NGH: they grow like crazy in a gravelly soil patch in the backyard, but I was super late in getting them going this year. I bite into them like apples.
	12:04pm Franco Twinkie: WR, as Don signed my copy of Trout Mask Replica, he said to me "Hey, I like you're jacket." Then added "You know, I invented punk rock."
	12:04pm dan: I didn’t realize that the Procol Harum song title was because the first word was used in each part. Makes sense
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: wm, it is complete....until it starts all over again (heh heh)
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: da, Keith Reid is brillaint!
	12:06pm TDK60: WR y Franco, you met Don VV?! Yow.
	12:07pm Little Danny: I had no idea this Piano Choir LP sounded like THIS.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: Danny, does a tomatillo taste like a tomato? I always forget a tomato is a fruit, but that's still an odd notion to my tastebuds!
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Piano Choir is pretty varied. From a concert, like quite a bit of Strata East stuff.
	12:11pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, Twice. The first time was at The Whiskey a Go-Go. I was upstairs and asked him if he was going to do any tricks with smoke. He pulled out a fancy cigarette case and said "Smoke? would you like a smoke?" I said no thank you.
	12:11pm Little Danny: Usually people cook them for sauces, BB, but fresh tomatillos are firm, and lightly and very pleasantly sour. Like a firm green tomato with a bit of a green apple taste.
	🥁 12:12pm wmfromdumont: This Spencer Davis track appears on the Mulberry Bush soundtrack under a different title. Weird.
	12:12pm dan: Steve Winwood at 17 had more talent than 60-70% of the mainstream artists of the last 20 years put together.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: LD, I gotta try one! Have you ever had a sour tomato? Like Kosher style? Wild!!
	12:12pm doctorjazz: Hey, WR, got out with all 10 thumbs (but a blood blister on 4th finger, not too bad. Now to figure out the fakakta strap/clamp mechanism. These instructions all in pictures, supposed to be clear to a 4th grader speaking any language, always baffle me).
	12:13pm northguineahills: oh, I know my tomatillo recipes...., both for salsa and fresh! (I used to have more then I knew what to do w/)
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, is that right? The I'm a Man album-the song itself and this one has future Traffic members on percussion. It's all blending together.
	🥁 12:16pm wmfromdumont: Yeah, It's called Waltz For Caroline. I was compelled to go pull out my copy.
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: That's a fun fact!
	🥁 12:19pm wmfromdumont: The Mulberry Bush LP has a few gems on it.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Oh yeah, I'm a fan-of the soundtrack, not the film so much...but that's pretty common for me.
	🥁 12:20pm Gina Bacon: Desert island album for me....Talking Book.
	12:20pm northguineahills: Fave stevie Wonder album....
	12:20pm northguineahills: and Gina jinxed me!
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Gina, good choice! He was sure on a roll! Love the Little Stevie stuff too!
	12:23pm Robbie White: Bob thanks for playing Stevie Wonder
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, my pleasure! I've been relistening to his catalogue. Loaded with riches!
	12:25pm Ross T.: The synchronicity of talent coming together at Motown...just mind blowing...
	12:25pm Robbie White: Bob I play him frequently on WOWD
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: Ross T-sure was!
	12:26pm Ross T.: Joey & Tommy = swing.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Ross T-you got it. pounding while swinging, Swinging while pounding. Not an easy thing to pull off!
	12:28pm Ross T.: Baby!
	12:29pm solo mon: Id like an order of fried green tomatillos please
	12:33pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob, logging in from Iowa. I saw somebody wearing a WFMU T shirt in a local grocery store out here in the sticks.
	12:34pm northguineahills: Eric Dolphy!
	🥁 12:39pm wmfromdumont: The music, the recording. This stuff retains the feeling of modernity over a half century later.
	12:39pm Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene, an FMU shirt, very cool! Our weekday morning host Clay Pigeon is from Iowa.
	12:41pm Eugene Bentley: Cool! I think Michael Shelley's wife is from IA.
	12:42pm Bob Brainen: wm, it sure does. We just hit the 60th anniversary like 2 weeks ago-July 16th!
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: EB, I think your right!
	12:49pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	🥁 12:49pm chresti: Thanks Bob! Back I go to the rock quarry!
	12:49pm CalZone!: Really enjoying this show Bob! I discover so much great music when you are on!
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Brand new. It's from the digital new bin.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: See ya chresti!
	12:50pm Little Danny: Thanks Bob, I will jump on that.
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Thanks CalZone! (!) Always looking for new stuff to mix with the older and the in between!
	12:53pm CalZone!: That's what keeps your shows fresh, diverse, and intriguing. Keep it up!
	12:53pm WR: i put this Parker Mendoza Cleaver on my wish list for bandcamp Friday next Friday! Mendoza played with Sewelson at Vision Fest last week. Dig dug as NGH and young folz might say.
	12:53pm Bob Brainen: Thanks, brother!
	12:55pm northguineahills: New William Parker!
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: WR, so I heard. She just popped up on my radar and I wanna hear more!!
	12:57pm northguineahills: @WR: As you know, I've always created my own multucultural/lingual slang. (It confuses my friends).
	12:57pm WR: Bob, if you haven't already, check out the Sewelson Free World episode with Mendoza as guest.
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: WR, will do!
	12:58pm Robbie White: Bob have you ever played this LP on your show:? https://www.discogs.com/Harry-Nilsson-A-Little-Touch-Of-Schmilsson-In-The-Night/master/96898
	1:03pm dan: XTC need to reunite for one last album and tour
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, sure. Big fan of HN but, for some reason, don't play him that often. Will do something about that!
	1:04pm WR: For the Sewelson/ Mendoza episode. Surprised it was over a year ago. wfmu.org...
	1:05pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: Saw Dave Sewelson and his band at Vision Fest thanks to Tom Dash’s recommendation. Great stuff. The whole night had some amazing live music. Also loved Dave Burrell & Darius Jones.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey Lake Hiawatha Doug, sounds like a great show!
	1:11pm WR: @1:05 @Lake Hiawatha Doug: did you go or watched it online? I'm watching online.
	1:11pm Robbie White: I'm probably in the minority, but I like the Left Banke Too LP better than the first LP.
	1:13pm Little Danny: I don't think you're in the minority, RW - I strongly agree with you, at least.
	1:13pm Robbie White: Bob just an FYI but tomorrow I start on WOWD an hour earlier - at 8AM to noon.
	1:16pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, that's the first time I've ever heard that! Ok, Danny, the 2nd time. 4 hours tomorrow-cool! RE: Left Banke, love both albums dearly, but the debut is sooo strong.
	1:16pm WR: Thank you for mentioning that. Another interesting looking community radio station I didn't know about.
	1:18pm WR: Interesting sounds for a 50s tv show.
	1:19pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: WR- I went in person. It was at Pioneer Works, a cool art gallery/performance space in Red Hook.
	🥁 1:19pm wmfromdumont: Much greatness on LB Too but I have to agree, the first album is non-stop amazing.
	1:20pm northguineahills: I miss the Idiotrod, where people would pull grocery carts up the Williamsburg Bridge and to the other side w/ peeps in the cart. (costumes and all).
	1:20pm Robbie White: WR you can get my show & station at takomaradio.org
	1:23pm Pauly from Clifton: @Robbie White, WOWD? Takoma Park in the house! My fave local DC station! I look forward to listening to your show tomorrow.
	1:25pm Robbie White: Pauly I'm doing an hour substitute show from 8-9AM, then Forbdden Alliance from 9-12. The 8AM show will concentrate on music that influenced the Beatles.
	1:27pm Robbie White: Bob were you looking in t "I" section of your collection this week?
	1:28pm Ross T.: Love this set!
	🥁 1:28pm wmfromdumont: Mission Impossible
	1:29pm Pauly from Clifton: Robbie, I'll be tuning in. Also, I can't believe you host Forbidden Alliance with the legend, Weasel! That is so cool. WHSF is sorely missed.
	1:32pm Robbie White: Pauly, Weasel is supposed top return to my show in September now that Covid restrictions at WOWD are easing up.
	1:37pm Pauly from Clifton: Robbie, that's great news! Hopefully, the Covid situation in the area will not get too much worse.
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, i recognized that distinctive voice on lead with the Chairmen of the Board immediately. Tou rarely hear "Every Day is Tuesday." Most often, it's "Gimme Just Some Kind of Sign."
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami! The great General Johnson. Lots of awesome songs. In give me just a little more time he does that amazing sound like Billy Stewart! I wait for that moment every time I hear that song.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: If anyone is wondering, "General" really was his name.
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for the great set!!
	1:54pm Bob Brainen: Right, and Major Lance was ~his~ real name. Major Holley as well. But only one General!! Any others w/military rank names? Army Archer, and Sargant Shriver. Kinda odd/kinda cool.
	1:55pm spodiodi: great show. thanks, Bob!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: You threw me off a bit there, Bob. I meant to write "Give Me Just a Little More Time." Then you played Brenton Wood, who had a hit titled "Gimme Some Kind of Sign." Brain scramble!
	1:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Bob.
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Oh em gee. Never heard that Rankin-Nyro duet.
	1:57pm Kpx: C'ya Bob, be listening for you next sat.
	1:57pm bigplanetnoise: Super show - thanks Bob!!
	1:58pm dan: Great show Bob
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromdumont: Great one Bob!
	🥁 1:59pm Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob!
	1:59pm (Mr) Bill: Multitudinous thanks, Bob.
	1:59pm Bob Brainen: Thanks all, see ya next week with a Hollies-extravaganza, with Pete Tomlinson.
	2:00pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, Bob. The Running Jumping Standing Still Film can be seen on Criterion. It's a funny day in the park.
	🥁 2:00pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Bob!
	2:00pm WR: thank you Bob!
	2:03pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Bob.
	2:09pm Little Danny: Thank you Bob!
	10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Running Jumping Standing Still' is the name of the Goons' film (a short I believe) that Richard Lester Directed. Considered a good omen to TheBeatles when choosing a Director... TY As Ever !

	11:27am Asheville Jon: nice to hear Beefheart, as always!
	11:28am solo mon: Love the captain!
	🥁 11:28am wmfromdumont: Beefheart in Mono!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Asheville Jon, always is right!
	🥁 11:29am chresti: solo mon, not on Sheenas?
	11:30am Franco Twinkie: Safe as milk - I never heard it put quite that way!
	11:30am Robbie White: Abba Zabba is the Beefheart song I hear the most on the radio
	11:31am TDK60: I don't have a fave Captain B. album. Every time I designate one as The Fave, I change my mind later. Not to lay a trip on ya..
	11:31am solo mon: Chresti/ spodi - Just helping fill out the rock n soul roster. I’m excited to be there! Arb coming along too mondays will be the same just different xoxox
	11:32am Franco Twinkie: I first heard Diddy Wah Diddy. It was big on KFWB in L.A.
	11:33am solo mon: The velvetttes song is so good.
	11:33am spodiodi: then Rock n Soul it is! cool
	11:35am TDK60: Procol H! Love this Side 2 suite, very Sixties. A trip. Love this LP.
	11:35am Franco Twinkie: In 1966 Captain Beefheart was on 9th Street West, an afternoon teen dance show. They had a babies face on the front of the kickdrum. So much better that the name of the band I thought.
	11:37am dan: Got to hear Procol Harum perform the whole of In Held ‘Twas In I at Westbury Music Fair in 2010. I was pleasantly shocked that they even played it.
	🥁 11:38am wmfromdumont: Love the cover art for Shine On Brightly. Wild.
	11:38am dan: Matthew Fisher does the spoken word here
	11:39am luka: Franco, one of my favorite things on youtube is that clip of Beefheart calling in on American Bandstand before they play “diddy wah diddy” and he’s talking to that girl on the phone after the request. it’s so sinister.
	11:41am Joe M: Morning, all!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Franco, I hope that clip survived! There's a baby face on Safe As Milk, I think. wmfromdumont, agree! Ever see the UK cover?
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: I've never seen that luka!
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Morning Joe M!
	11:43am luka: oh you must, must see it. search for “beefheart american bandstand” and it’ll come through.
	🥁 11:45am wmfromdumont: Bob I haven't. I'll check it out.
	11:46am Franco Twinkie: The first time I saw Captain Beefheart live they did the most amazing thing. They were paying Alice In Blunderland and it slowly started morphing into Abba Zabba. It would retreat, then reappear until they went into like a runaway train. It was so thrilling!
	11:46am dan: Gary Brooker is one of the few singers in rock and roll whose voice remains unchanged after over 50 years.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: wm I've only seen it in pix. Don't think I ever saw an actual copy, but it's a shock to the system at first!
	11:48am Little Danny: Hello Bob, hello all.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Franco, what era/line-up? That sounds like something a Jazz band would do. Like 70-ish?
	11:50am dan: The last part of this song is what they play at the Pearly Gates in heaven
	11:50am Franco Twinkie: It was 1972. The Spotlight Kid.
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Hey Little Danny!
	11:50am doctorjazz: Haven't heard this PC in ages, nice! Hi all-keep me company installing a bike rack with my 10 thumbs.
	11:51am solo mon: Floating on a guitar solo
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Franco, very cool.
	11:52am TDK60: Clap+! Thanks for playing that, Bob.
	11:52am Little Danny: Hi you west coasters!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: TDK60, my pleasure, I hadn't heard it in awhile myself!
	11:53am solo mon: Wow shelleyann orphan, haven’t heard them for ever!!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: How are things in Tejas?
	🥁 11:53am wmfromdumont: Haven't heard that in a long time. Sounded great. The title track is my personal fave Procol track.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: solo mon, I heart Shelleyan Orphan!
	11:54am northguineahills: danks, Bob!
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: Hey Danny!
	11:56am WR: As long as you still have 10 thumbs at the end of the installation, it is a success doc.
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz!
	11:57am Little Danny: All good here, Bob. Planting tomatillo starts with my niece and listening!
	11:58am Bob Brainen: wm, that's a great track, killer guitar. I love so many Procol songs I couldn't choose a fave. Unique band!
	11:58am Franco Twinkie: Everybody look at WR's profile page. He has a picture of the Safe As Milk Baby!
	11:58am WR: Another Bruce Palmer track! Thank you Bob!
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Cool Little Danny!
	12:00pm Bob Brainen: WR, my pleasure!
	12:00pm WR: Franco, some day I will dig out my Safe As Milk bumper sticker that Vliet signed.
	12:01pm northguineahills: Omg, LD, I miss my tomatillos in my garden!
	12:01pm WR: My Baby Shines is what he wrote on it.
	12:01pm gene sculatti: What a great Steve Miller track. Long forgotten (by me).
	12:01pm Ross T.: As always love that pre-Joker Steve Miller Band....
	🥁 12:03pm wmfromdumont: So now The Cycle Really Is Complete
	12:03pm Little Danny: @NGH: they grow like crazy in a gravelly soil patch in the backyard, but I was super late in getting them going this year. I bite into them like apples.
	12:04pm Franco Twinkie: WR, as Don signed my copy of Trout Mask Replica, he said to me "Hey, I like you're jacket." Then added "You know, I invented punk rock."
	12:04pm dan: I didn’t realize that the Procol Harum song title was because the first word was used in each part. Makes sense
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: wm, it is complete....until it starts all over again (heh heh)
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: da, Keith Reid is brillaint!
	12:06pm TDK60: WR y Franco, you met Don VV?! Yow.
	12:07pm Little Danny: I had no idea this Piano Choir LP sounded like THIS.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: Danny, does a tomatillo taste like a tomato? I always forget a tomato is a fruit, but that's still an odd notion to my tastebuds!
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Piano Choir is pretty varied. From a concert, like quite a bit of Strata East stuff.
	12:11pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, Twice. The first time was at The Whiskey a Go-Go. I was upstairs and asked him if he was going to do any tricks with smoke. He pulled out a fancy cigarette case and said "Smoke? would you like a smoke?" I said no thank you.
	12:11pm Little Danny: Usually people cook them for sauces, BB, but fresh tomatillos are firm, and lightly and very pleasantly sour. Like a firm green tomato with a bit of a green apple taste.
	🥁 12:12pm wmfromdumont: This Spencer Davis track appears on the Mulberry Bush soundtrack under a different title. Weird.
	12:12pm dan: Steve Winwood at 17 had more talent than 60-70% of the mainstream artists of the last 20 years put together.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: LD, I gotta try one! Have you ever had a sour tomato? Like Kosher style? Wild!!
	12:12pm doctorjazz: Hey, WR, got out with all 10 thumbs (but a blood blister on 4th finger, not too bad. Now to figure out the fakakta strap/clamp mechanism. These instructions all in pictures, supposed to be clear to a 4th grader speaking any language, always baffle me).
	12:13pm northguineahills: oh, I know my tomatillo recipes...., both for salsa and fresh! (I used to have more then I knew what to do w/)
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, is that right? The I'm a Man album-the song itself and this one has future Traffic members on percussion. It's all blending together.
	🥁 12:16pm wmfromdumont: Yeah, It's called Waltz For Caroline. I was compelled to go pull out my copy.
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: That's a fun fact!
	🥁 12:19pm wmfromdumont: The Mulberry Bush LP has a few gems on it.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Oh yeah, I'm a fan-of the soundtrack, not the film so much...but that's pretty common for me.
	🥁 12:20pm Gina Bacon: Desert island album for me....Talking Book.
	12:20pm northguineahills: Fave stevie Wonder album....
	12:20pm northguineahills: and Gina jinxed me!
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Gina, good choice! He was sure on a roll! Love the Little Stevie stuff too!
	12:23pm Robbie White: Bob thanks for playing Stevie Wonder
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, my pleasure! I've been relistening to his catalogue. Loaded with riches!
	12:25pm Ross T.: The synchronicity of talent coming together at Motown...just mind blowing...
	12:25pm Robbie White: Bob I play him frequently on WOWD
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: Ross T-sure was!
	12:26pm Ross T.: Joey & Tommy = swing.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Ross T-you got it. pounding while swinging, Swinging while pounding. Not an easy thing to pull off!
	12:28pm Ross T.: Baby!
	12:29pm solo mon: Id like an order of fried green tomatillos please
	12:33pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob, logging in from Iowa. I saw somebody wearing a WFMU T shirt in a local grocery store out here in the sticks.
	12:34pm northguineahills: Eric Dolphy!
	🥁 12:39pm wmfromdumont: The music, the recording. This stuff retains the feeling of modernity over a half century later.
	12:39pm Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene, an FMU shirt, very cool! Our weekday morning host Clay Pigeon is from Iowa.
	12:41pm Eugene Bentley: Cool! I think Michael Shelley's wife is from IA.
	12:42pm Bob Brainen: wm, it sure does. We just hit the 60th anniversary like 2 weeks ago-July 16th!
	12:43pm Bob Brainen: EB, I think your right!
	12:49pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	🥁 12:49pm chresti: Thanks Bob! Back I go to the rock quarry!
	12:49pm CalZone!: Really enjoying this show Bob! I discover so much great music when you are on!
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Brand new. It's from the digital new bin.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: See ya chresti!
	12:50pm Little Danny: Thanks Bob, I will jump on that.
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Thanks CalZone! (!) Always looking for new stuff to mix with the older and the in between!
	12:53pm CalZone!: That's what keeps your shows fresh, diverse, and intriguing. Keep it up!
	12:53pm WR: i put this Parker Mendoza Cleaver on my wish list for bandcamp Friday next Friday! Mendoza played with Sewelson at Vision Fest last week. Dig dug as NGH and young folz might say.
	12:53pm Bob Brainen: Thanks, brother!
	12:55pm northguineahills: New William Parker!
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: WR, so I heard. She just popped up on my radar and I wanna hear more!!
	12:57pm northguineahills: @WR: As you know, I've always created my own multucultural/lingual slang. (It confuses my friends).
	12:57pm WR: Bob, if you haven't already, check out the Sewelson Free World episode with Mendoza as guest.
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: WR, will do!
	12:58pm Robbie White: Bob have you ever played this LP on your show:? https://www.discogs.com/Harry-Nilsson-A-Little-Touch-Of-Schmilsson-In-The-Night/master/96898
	1:03pm dan: XTC need to reunite for one last album and tour
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, sure. Big fan of HN but, for some reason, don't play him that often. Will do something about that!
	1:04pm WR: For the Sewelson/ Mendoza episode. Surprised it was over a year ago. wfmu.org...
	1:05pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: Saw Dave Sewelson and his band at Vision Fest thanks to Tom Dash’s recommendation. Great stuff. The whole night had some amazing live music. Also loved Dave Burrell & Darius Jones.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey Lake Hiawatha Doug, sounds like a great show!
	1:11pm WR: @1:05 @Lake Hiawatha Doug: did you go or watched it online? I'm watching online.
	1:11pm Robbie White: I'm probably in the minority, but I like the Left Banke Too LP better than the first LP.
	1:13pm Little Danny: I don't think you're in the minority, RW - I strongly agree with you, at least.
	1:13pm Robbie White: Bob just an FYI but tomorrow I start on WOWD an hour earlier - at 8AM to noon.
	1:16pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, that's the first time I've ever heard that! Ok, Danny, the 2nd time. 4 hours tomorrow-cool! RE: Left Banke, love both albums dearly, but the debut is sooo strong.
	1:16pm WR: Thank you for mentioning that. Another interesting looking community radio station I didn't know about.
	1:18pm WR: Interesting sounds for a 50s tv show.
	1:19pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: WR- I went in person. It was at Pioneer Works, a cool art gallery/performance space in Red Hook.
	🥁 1:19pm wmfromdumont: Much greatness on LB Too but I have to agree, the first album is non-stop amazing.
	1:20pm northguineahills: I miss the Idiotrod, where people would pull grocery carts up the Williamsburg Bridge and to the other side w/ peeps in the cart. (costumes and all).
	1:20pm Robbie White: WR you can get my show & station at takomaradio.org
	1:23pm Pauly from Clifton: @Robbie White, WOWD? Takoma Park in the house! My fave local DC station! I look forward to listening to your show tomorrow.
	1:25pm Robbie White: Pauly I'm doing an hour substitute show from 8-9AM, then Forbdden Alliance from 9-12. The 8AM show will concentrate on music that influenced the Beatles.
	1:27pm Robbie White: Bob were you looking in t "I" section of your collection this week?
	1:28pm Ross T.: Love this set!
	🥁 1:28pm wmfromdumont: Mission Impossible
	1:29pm Pauly from Clifton: Robbie, I'll be tuning in. Also, I can't believe you host Forbidden Alliance with the legend, Weasel! That is so cool. WHSF is sorely missed.
	1:32pm Robbie White: Pauly, Weasel is supposed top return to my show in September now that Covid restrictions at WOWD are easing up.
	1:37pm Pauly from Clifton: Robbie, that's great news! Hopefully, the Covid situation in the area will not get too much worse.
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, i recognized that distinctive voice on lead with the Chairmen of the Board immediately. Tou rarely hear "Every Day is Tuesday." Most often, it's "Gimme Just Some Kind of Sign."
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami! The great General Johnson. Lots of awesome songs. In give me just a little more time he does that amazing sound like Billy Stewart! I wait for that moment every time I hear that song.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: If anyone is wondering, "General" really was his name.
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for the great set!!
	1:54pm Bob Brainen: Right, and Major Lance was ~his~ real name. Major Holley as well. But only one General!! Any others w/military rank names? Army Archer, and Sargant Shriver. Kinda odd/kinda cool.
	1:55pm spodiodi: great show. thanks, Bob!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: You threw me off a bit there, Bob. I meant to write "Give Me Just a Little More Time." Then you played Brenton Wood, who had a hit titled "Gimme Some Kind of Sign." Brain scramble!
	1:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Bob.
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Oh em gee. Never heard that Rankin-Nyro duet.
	1:57pm Kpx: C'ya Bob, be listening for you next sat.
	1:57pm bigplanetnoise: Super show - thanks Bob!!
	1:58pm dan: Great show Bob
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromdumont: Great one Bob!
	🥁 1:59pm Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob!
	1:59pm (Mr) Bill: Multitudinous thanks, Bob.
	1:59pm Bob Brainen: Thanks all, see ya next week with a Hollies-extravaganza, with Pete Tomlinson.

	🥁 2:00pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Bob!
	2:00pm WR: thank you Bob!
	2:03pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Bob.
