	11:12am mauri: Hey Bob!
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Hey mauri!
	11:12am HyperDose: @Franco They have quite the impressive menu. Appreciate them using coated battered fries for their California nachos. No way they'll get soggy!
	11:13am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! I don't think that's your crew you have pictured, I believe those ar the supervisors.
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene, you might be right!
	11:14am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & all!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: Happy Sat. to you Gina B!
	11:15am Eugene Bentley: After all it's said that dogs have masters and cats have staff.
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Yeah, Eugene, I love both cats & dogs.
	11:20am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob, brainiacs, and Dameronians.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Morning adamdoesit!
	11:21am HyperDose: Hi Gina Bacon!
	11:22am Eugene Bentley: I like this Junior Walker song.
	11:23am doctorjazz: Hey, Adamdoesit-you going to the Village Vanguard tonight? (jealous...)
	11:24am Franco Twinkie: Hyper, There fish burrito is a singular type of perfection. When I was in The Casa Blanca Moonmen, those who inclined would go to El Super Burrito after practice down the street at Poohbah Records.
	11:31am adamdoesit: doc, I went last night, both sets, both very pleasurable. Dedications to a victim of Sandy Hook, to Ralph Peterson Jr., and to Jonathan Blake's dad. Bags' Groove as a feature for the excellent young vibes player, and a Monk-tribute original feature for the pianist. A lot of hard, heartfelt blowing over group ostinatos, and a couple of vignettes played straight through with no improvisation. Warm humor and waves of percussion. A great feeling to be back there after so long.
	11:38am doctorjazz: Great to hear, Adamdoesit, I mentioned the other day, I saw his band pre-pandemic in the same venue, he puts together great groups. Glad you enjoyed! Nice to be out in the world again, no? (though not 100% worry free, but we gotta live, amirite?)
	🥁 11:39am wmfromD: The For Once In My Life LP has some great stuff on it. You Met Your Match is a stand-out.
	🥁 11:41am listener 126464: Hi Bob, everyone! Sounds great!
	11:42am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob. Procs show was fantastic; so many deep tracks I'd forgotten, plus The Freedom (new to me). Great job.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene, thanks, glad you enjoyed!
	11:43am adamdoesit: doc, for real. Vaccinations required doesn't mean no risk; but, at a certain point, am I really living if I don't go out and meet life?
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hi listener 126464!
	11:43am doctorjazz: Loving this Hornsby, fellow can play!
	11:44am watchpocket: Top of the morning to you Bob and commenters. We don't often hear the lesser-known works of so many great artists, so thanks for each of these "spins." Btw Bob, do you really have 11 cats and 3 dogs, or are some of them friends from days goneby?
	11:44am WR: Hello Bob and drummer streamers. Have been listening, now reading too.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Hello WR!
	🥁 11:46am (Mr) Bill: Hey ho diddle um day.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket! Well, 3 dogs and 10 cats all told. 2 cats with me on this plane.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Hey (Mr) Bill!
	11:48am dan: Sounds like a Lawrence Welk Show special on Americana.
	11:49am Franco Twinkie: Oh, my sweet, sweet Moby Grape.
	🥁 11:49am wmfromD: Any time is Grape time.
	🥁 11:50am (Mr) Bill: @Dan LOL! And a vun, and a too, and a tree...
	🥁 11:53am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs! Ben listening forgot to announce my arrival..
	11:53am dan: Bridge Over The River Ash, the best Country Music flavored Chamber Music piece ever.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Hi chresti!
	🥁 11:54am PT: This Fairport Finland album is pretty much a killer. Even as a stripped-down 4-piece, they brought the magic. Props to Simon Nicol for filling some fairly large shoes.
	11:55am Gerry from Miami: I could imagine Joni Mitchell taking on that Shelagh McDonald song.
	🥁 11:55am PT: And Good (almost) Afternoon, BB and everyone!
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Hey PT! Yeah, Simon could play. He's pretty great on Mason's Apron on this album, for one.
	11:56am Eugene Bentley: The Northstar Grassman and the Ravens my favorite Sandy Denny solo album.
	11:57am dan: I'm hoping the next Bob and Pete show is a Fairport Convention salute or even a Sandy Denny retrospective.
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Eugene, mine too!
	11:58am doctorjazz: Bob, you ever turn up The Herbie Nichols Project records? I turned one of the CD's up. Gerry from Miami @11:55-funny, I was away from the playlist, and thought it WAS Joni, one of the recently released complete/infinite/every breath/comment/song she ever did releases...
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami!
	12:00pm Bob Brainen: Not yet, Doc.
	12:02pm Eugene Bentley: Dan, I second that!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. Those two(so far!) Joni retrospectives are quite comprehensive. Volume One recently won the Grammy for Best Historical Recording.
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Ben Allison,Frank Kimbrough, Ron Horton, Ted Nash, Michael Blake, Tim Horner, great players individually, The Herbie Nichols Project is how they first got noticed.
	12:07pm Thomas: Big Country: Charlton Heston - not Chuck Connors
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Hey Thomas, Chuck plays Burl Ives son.
	🥁 12:10pm hopewithfeathers: Carry on carry on carry on
	12:11pm Thomas: Yes - now I do remember that!
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers, carry on!
	🥁 12:14pm PT: Bob, you're nailing my 1971/2 playlist!
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Heston was def. the bigger star, yr. right Thomas.
	12:14pm Thomas: I believe the fight was between Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston
	12:15pm dan: Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood trading off the vocals well.
	🥁 12:17pm wmfromD: One of the few instances where the cover is equal to the original.
	12:17pm Franco Twinkie: Can I just say that this song breaks my heart?
	12:19pm Gerry from Miami: Was a big Blues Project fan. "Flute Thing" was an early FM-radio smash. And didn't Steve Katz end up in Blood, Sweat and Tears?
	12:20pm Franco Twinkie: He was! Yes, Flute thing has aged well.
	12:22pm HyperDose: Jeff Lynne 😍
	12:22pm Franco Twinkie: The one armed man!
	12:24pm Franco Twinkie: My mom was sooo in love with David Janssen. An early obsession - The Fugitive.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: A lot of people were, Franco! It's that vulnerability element.
	12:30pm Franco Twinkie: Just recently I saw the conclusion of the series since the initial broadcast. It was filmed at Pacific Ocean Park in Venice. Something that past me by the first time around. P.O.P became something of a hang when I was in high school when it was a deserted pile falling into the ocean.
	12:30pm Gerry from Miami: With regard to my comment on Steve Katz being a member of BS&T, I didn't mean to slight the great Al Kooper, credited with the founding of that group after he left the Blues Project. Koopee is another in the long list of rock greats who have been snubbed by Jann Wenner's R&R Hall of Fame.
	12:34pm Gerry from Miami: Bernard Hermann, a superb film composer. Didn't Hitchcock hire him to score "Psycho" as well?
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: Franco, that finale was the most watched tv episode at that time, I think until "Who shot J.R." Not counting sports.
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: I think so Gerry.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: Bob, you can add the final episode of "M.A.S H." to that list. EVERYBODY was tuned in!
	12:36pm Frank Zaatar: @Gerry: BS&T was indeed a Kooper/Katz project. To get (one side of) the story, you can read Al's hilarious Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Remember watching The Fugitive when it was running with the family. I think Al Kooper got hurt by leaving BST BEFORE they had their hits (like that 1st album with Kooper the best). You played this Roach before, I see I've clicky-starred it already. Think I need the album...
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: Hey Frank Zaatar!
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Correction, I heard this Roach on Stork's show (you can actually get that information clicking on the clicky-star...)
	12:39pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone! Sounding great. 🎸
	12:40pm Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub, thanks!
	🥁 12:40pm wmfromD: Charles Tolliver's stuff from this period is in this vein. Edgy and hard-hitting.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz YouTube has an extended version of BS&T's debut album, "Child is Father to the Man," with outtakes and additional songs. Excellent.
	🥁 12:44pm wmfromD: I paid 8 bucks for a copy of Members in the mid-eighties. Those days are long gone.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Gerry-have to check that out! The Roach album reissue on vinyl, available on Amazon, and other sites (but $8 versions are truly a thing of the past...) www.amazon.com...
	12:46pm doctorjazz: (the Roach is actually "pre-order", to be released in June acc to the site)
	12:47pm Frank Zaatar: Hey Bob! While I have you on the line, I finally got to hear the whole Procol Harum show from last week. I have a question: Didn't Robert Hunter join the Grateful Dead around the same time as Keith Reid joined Procol Harum?
	12:48pm StringOFperils: Listening to music on YouTube is like looking at masterpieces of painting as low-rez JPEGS. The availability truly democratizes it all for everyone (with computer access) I guess, but it's like cardboard chips for all, everyone is fed.
	12:49pm Frank Zaatar: @doctorjazz: I had the impression that Katz basically led a mutiny against Kooper (hence the second half of the title of his memoir).
	12:49pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, "Shazam!" is my favorite Move album, bought as an import. Later, while signed to U.S. Capitol Records, "Message from the Country" joined the earlier LP as my favorite. The Move is a band that American radio never gave a fair chance. Just like Family and Gentle Giant.
	12:52pm doctorjazz: Ever have so many tabs open on your browser, it's hard to put the cursor on a tab to reopen it? (the story of my life...) Love this John Benson Brooks/Adderley track!
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Hi Frank, someone else mentioned Hunter. He's a bit later, and, not to quibble, but I don't think he was considered a member of the band which had other lyricists...
	12:53pm doctorjazz: (I don't recall the timing of Hunter and the Dead, but he was generally the lyricist for Garcia, and not actually a member of GD. He did perform on his own, I believe).
	12:54pm Gerry from Miami: Can't hear any Leroy Anderson without thinking "Sleigh Ride." Funny how one tune can often define a musical artist's career.
	🥁 12:55pm (Mr) Bill: So lovely. Leroy Anderson is disgracefully underappreciated.
	12:56pm doctorjazz: I can just sit here, while away the time listening to Bob's show all day (at least for 3 hours). Should get to some stuff...nah!
	12:57pm Yes: Late hellos. Enjoying it all bob. Thanks for NRPS
	12:57pm HyperDose: This is amazing 😭
	🥁 12:58pm wmfromD: This sounds like the original version from '69, not the LP version.
	12:59pm doctorjazz: ? What's the original '69 version that's not LP?
	12:59pm doctorjazz: Do like those early NRPS albums (in the rack now for ages, should pull them out one of these days).
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, yr right, I grabbed an mp3.
	🥁 1:01pm wmfromD: There's an LP called Before Time Began that features early NRPS stuff with Lesh and Hart.
	1:01pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. No time wasted when tuned into Bob Brainen! I actually have this 3 hours slated into my Saturday activity cakendar.. Other things can wait! I am not an FMU archive freak yet. But if I start, I may never be able to escape! LOL!
	1:03pm doctorjazz: Gerry, that's a problem, I do go to the archives sometimes, but you can just live your life there...not that that would be so terrible, but have to get to other things (if only albums purchased after hearing them on FMU-no chance to get to them if you're on the Stream, The Archives, etc...)
	1:04pm doctorjazz: Not plain Deluxe, but SUPER DELUXE, thank goodness, I'd be crushed if I were just stuck with the Deluxe...
	1:06pm Frank Zaatar: Quibble away, Bob! That's what this board is for, right? I certainly know that Hunter did not write all the lyrics. I know that Hunter shows up on the cover of Workingman's Dead(well after PC of course). But I guess I don't know if that means he was an official member of the band.
	1:06pm Gerry from Miami: This particular Beach Boys deluxe retrospective has been especially rewarding. Keep 'em comin'!
	🥁 1:07pm wmfromD: IMHO, the '69 version of All I Ever Wanted is THE version. Esp. Garcia's pedal steel work.
	1:07pm Eugene Bentley: it's nice to hear NRPS song other than Panama Red.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Anybody here a fan of Old and in the Way?
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Wm, this one's def. growing on me, but it's missing the backing vocals that add a lot. it's less fully formed. There are no right or wrong answers, of course.
	1:10pm CalZone!: Digging the show, BB!
	1:11pm dan: With this music, I expect Charlie Chaplin to get into one of his pickles.
	1:11pm Frank Zaatar: *That's PH = Procoul Harum. I wonder how you document being an official member of a band. Is it on your W2 form? @Gerry: Old and in the Way is my favorite bluegrass album.
	1:11pm doctorjazz: Pretty good sound on this James P. Johnson (as heard through the digital streaming pipes), good remaster sounds like to me.
	🥁 1:12pm wmfromD: Bob, agreed. I dig the other version as well.
	1:13pm doctorjazz: Old and In The Way is a great albumfor sure, Frank (I'm headed that way, hopefully not in the way yet...)
	1:15pm Frank Zaatar: Me, I'm proud to be in the way.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. Actually, Procol Harum misspelled the Latin word "procul," which means "far off" or "way beyond." "Harum" is the genitive(or is it dative?) plural of "these things." FOOTNOTE---There is a word "proculsexual," that means having a desire to have a relationship with someone unattainable, like a celebrity or entertainment star. Class dismissed!
	1:26pm Andrew in Toronto: A double Q treat! Thanks!
	1:27pm dan: @Gerry Proculsexual should be the name of a tribute band
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Let's start one! We'll make millions!
	1:30pm doctorjazz: Lovely Drake!
	1:31pm dan: @Gerry You mean the estate of Gary Brooker will make millions.
	1:31pm Eugene Bentley: There was a Nick Drake song used in this last episode of Young Sheldon.
	🥁 1:33pm (Mr) Bill: A perfect pop song. Oh, Laura. I hate ovarian cancer.
	1:33pm Gerry from Miami: The title tune from Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" album was featured in a 1999 Volkswagen Cabriolet commercial. Really cool.
	1:36pm Frank Zaatar: @Gerry: I remember hearing about this philological howler back in the day. Another reason I should have learned Latin.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show!
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Love this No Wave (remember hearing No Wave bands back in the day, DNA, etc...) Wonderful show, Bob! Laters all!
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: Awesome stuff today, BOB, as always. Thanks!
	1:55pm mauri: That 3 hour went fast! Good show Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Thanks so much Bob.
	1:56pm dan: Another great show
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:57pm doctorjazz: Didn't catch that was Blood on guitar, he's usually so easy to recognize...oh well...
	1:58pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	1:58pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob!
	1:58pm WR: Thank you, Bob!
	🥁 1:59pm (Mr) Bill: As another FABULOUS show draws to its conclusion. Melody is a wonderful quality in music. Happy May Day to all, and Eid Mubarak to adherents of the Prophet....

	11:12am mauri: Hey Bob!

	11:12am HyperDose: @Franco They have quite the impressive menu. Appreciate them using coated battered fries for their California nachos. No way they'll get soggy!
	11:13am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! I don't think that's your crew you have pictured, I believe those ar the supervisors.
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey Eugene, you might be right!
	11:14am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & all!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: Happy Sat. to you Gina B!

	11:20am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob, brainiacs, and Dameronians.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Morning adamdoesit!
	11:21am HyperDose: Hi Gina Bacon!
	11:22am Eugene Bentley: I like this Junior Walker song.
	11:23am doctorjazz: Hey, Adamdoesit-you going to the Village Vanguard tonight? (jealous...)
	11:24am Franco Twinkie: Hyper, There fish burrito is a singular type of perfection. When I was in The Casa Blanca Moonmen, those who inclined would go to El Super Burrito after practice down the street at Poohbah Records.
	11:31am adamdoesit: doc, I went last night, both sets, both very pleasurable. Dedications to a victim of Sandy Hook, to Ralph Peterson Jr., and to Jonathan Blake's dad. Bags' Groove as a feature for the excellent young vibes player, and a Monk-tribute original feature for the pianist. A lot of hard, heartfelt blowing over group ostinatos, and a couple of vignettes played straight through with no improvisation. Warm humor and waves of percussion. A great feeling to be back there after so long.
	11:38am doctorjazz: Great to hear, Adamdoesit, I mentioned the other day, I saw his band pre-pandemic in the same venue, he puts together great groups. Glad you enjoyed! Nice to be out in the world again, no? (though not 100% worry free, but we gotta live, amirite?)
	🥁 11:39am wmfromD: The For Once In My Life LP has some great stuff on it. You Met Your Match is a stand-out.
	🥁 11:41am listener 126464: Hi Bob, everyone! Sounds great!
	11:42am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob. Procs show was fantastic; so many deep tracks I'd forgotten, plus The Freedom (new to me). Great job.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene, thanks, glad you enjoyed!
	11:43am adamdoesit: doc, for real. Vaccinations required doesn't mean no risk; but, at a certain point, am I really living if I don't go out and meet life?
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Hi listener 126464!
	11:43am doctorjazz: Loving this Hornsby, fellow can play!
	11:44am watchpocket: Top of the morning to you Bob and commenters. We don't often hear the lesser-known works of so many great artists, so thanks for each of these "spins." Btw Bob, do you really have 11 cats and 3 dogs, or are some of them friends from days goneby?
	11:44am WR: Hello Bob and drummer streamers. Have been listening, now reading too.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Hello WR!
	🥁 11:46am (Mr) Bill: Hey ho diddle um day.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket! Well, 3 dogs and 10 cats all told. 2 cats with me on this plane.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Hey (Mr) Bill!
	11:48am dan: Sounds like a Lawrence Welk Show special on Americana.
	11:49am Franco Twinkie: Oh, my sweet, sweet Moby Grape.
	🥁 11:49am wmfromD: Any time is Grape time.
	🥁 11:50am (Mr) Bill: @Dan LOL! And a vun, and a too, and a tree...
	🥁 11:53am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs! Ben listening forgot to announce my arrival..
	11:53am dan: Bridge Over The River Ash, the best Country Music flavored Chamber Music piece ever.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Hi chresti!
	🥁 11:54am PT: This Fairport Finland album is pretty much a killer. Even as a stripped-down 4-piece, they brought the magic. Props to Simon Nicol for filling some fairly large shoes.
	11:55am Gerry from Miami: I could imagine Joni Mitchell taking on that Shelagh McDonald song.
	🥁 11:55am PT: And Good (almost) Afternoon, BB and everyone!
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Hey PT! Yeah, Simon could play. He's pretty great on Mason's Apron on this album, for one.
	11:56am Eugene Bentley: The Northstar Grassman and the Ravens my favorite Sandy Denny solo album.
	11:57am dan: I'm hoping the next Bob and Pete show is a Fairport Convention salute or even a Sandy Denny retrospective.
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Eugene, mine too!
	11:58am doctorjazz: Bob, you ever turn up The Herbie Nichols Project records? I turned one of the CD's up. Gerry from Miami @11:55-funny, I was away from the playlist, and thought it WAS Joni, one of the recently released complete/infinite/every breath/comment/song she ever did releases...
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami!
	12:00pm Bob Brainen: Not yet, Doc.
	12:02pm Eugene Bentley: Dan, I second that!
	12:02pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. Those two(so far!) Joni retrospectives are quite comprehensive. Volume One recently won the Grammy for Best Historical Recording.
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Ben Allison,Frank Kimbrough, Ron Horton, Ted Nash, Michael Blake, Tim Horner, great players individually, The Herbie Nichols Project is how they first got noticed.
	12:07pm Thomas: Big Country: Charlton Heston - not Chuck Connors
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Hey Thomas, Chuck plays Burl Ives son.
	🥁 12:10pm hopewithfeathers: Carry on carry on carry on
	12:11pm Thomas: Yes - now I do remember that!
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: hopewithfeathers, carry on!
	🥁 12:14pm PT: Bob, you're nailing my 1971/2 playlist!
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Heston was def. the bigger star, yr. right Thomas.
	12:14pm Thomas: I believe the fight was between Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston
	12:15pm dan: Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood trading off the vocals well.
	🥁 12:17pm wmfromD: One of the few instances where the cover is equal to the original.
	12:17pm Franco Twinkie: Can I just say that this song breaks my heart?
	12:19pm Gerry from Miami: Was a big Blues Project fan. "Flute Thing" was an early FM-radio smash. And didn't Steve Katz end up in Blood, Sweat and Tears?
	12:20pm Franco Twinkie: He was! Yes, Flute thing has aged well.
	12:22pm HyperDose: Jeff Lynne 😍
	12:22pm Franco Twinkie: The one armed man!
	12:24pm Franco Twinkie: My mom was sooo in love with David Janssen. An early obsession - The Fugitive.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: A lot of people were, Franco! It's that vulnerability element.
	12:30pm Franco Twinkie: Just recently I saw the conclusion of the series since the initial broadcast. It was filmed at Pacific Ocean Park in Venice. Something that past me by the first time around. P.O.P became something of a hang when I was in high school when it was a deserted pile falling into the ocean.
	12:30pm Gerry from Miami: With regard to my comment on Steve Katz being a member of BS&T, I didn't mean to slight the great Al Kooper, credited with the founding of that group after he left the Blues Project. Koopee is another in the long list of rock greats who have been snubbed by Jann Wenner's R&R Hall of Fame.
	12:34pm Gerry from Miami: Bernard Hermann, a superb film composer. Didn't Hitchcock hire him to score "Psycho" as well?
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: Franco, that finale was the most watched tv episode at that time, I think until "Who shot J.R." Not counting sports.
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: I think so Gerry.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: Bob, you can add the final episode of "M.A.S H." to that list. EVERYBODY was tuned in!
	12:36pm Frank Zaatar: @Gerry: BS&T was indeed a Kooper/Katz project. To get (one side of) the story, you can read Al's hilarious Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Remember watching The Fugitive when it was running with the family. I think Al Kooper got hurt by leaving BST BEFORE they had their hits (like that 1st album with Kooper the best). You played this Roach before, I see I've clicky-starred it already. Think I need the album...
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: Hey Frank Zaatar!
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Correction, I heard this Roach on Stork's show (you can actually get that information clicking on the clicky-star...)
	12:39pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone! Sounding great. 🎸
	12:40pm Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub, thanks!
	🥁 12:40pm wmfromD: Charles Tolliver's stuff from this period is in this vein. Edgy and hard-hitting.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz YouTube has an extended version of BS&T's debut album, "Child is Father to the Man," with outtakes and additional songs. Excellent.
	🥁 12:44pm wmfromD: I paid 8 bucks for a copy of Members in the mid-eighties. Those days are long gone.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Gerry-have to check that out! The Roach album reissue on vinyl, available on Amazon, and other sites (but $8 versions are truly a thing of the past...) www.amazon.com...
	12:46pm doctorjazz: (the Roach is actually "pre-order", to be released in June acc to the site)
	12:47pm Frank Zaatar: Hey Bob! While I have you on the line, I finally got to hear the whole Procol Harum show from last week. I have a question: Didn't Robert Hunter join the Grateful Dead around the same time as Keith Reid joined Procol Harum?
	12:48pm StringOFperils: Listening to music on YouTube is like looking at masterpieces of painting as low-rez JPEGS. The availability truly democratizes it all for everyone (with computer access) I guess, but it's like cardboard chips for all, everyone is fed.
	12:49pm Frank Zaatar: @doctorjazz: I had the impression that Katz basically led a mutiny against Kooper (hence the second half of the title of his memoir).
	12:49pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, "Shazam!" is my favorite Move album, bought as an import. Later, while signed to U.S. Capitol Records, "Message from the Country" joined the earlier LP as my favorite. The Move is a band that American radio never gave a fair chance. Just like Family and Gentle Giant.
	12:52pm doctorjazz: Ever have so many tabs open on your browser, it's hard to put the cursor on a tab to reopen it? (the story of my life...) Love this John Benson Brooks/Adderley track!
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: Hi Frank, someone else mentioned Hunter. He's a bit later, and, not to quibble, but I don't think he was considered a member of the band which had other lyricists...
	12:53pm doctorjazz: (I don't recall the timing of Hunter and the Dead, but he was generally the lyricist for Garcia, and not actually a member of GD. He did perform on his own, I believe).
	12:54pm Gerry from Miami: Can't hear any Leroy Anderson without thinking "Sleigh Ride." Funny how one tune can often define a musical artist's career.
	🥁 12:55pm (Mr) Bill: So lovely. Leroy Anderson is disgracefully underappreciated.
	12:56pm doctorjazz: I can just sit here, while away the time listening to Bob's show all day (at least for 3 hours). Should get to some stuff...nah!
	12:57pm Yes: Late hellos. Enjoying it all bob. Thanks for NRPS
	12:57pm HyperDose: This is amazing 😭
	🥁 12:58pm wmfromD: This sounds like the original version from '69, not the LP version.
	12:59pm doctorjazz: ? What's the original '69 version that's not LP?
	12:59pm doctorjazz: Do like those early NRPS albums (in the rack now for ages, should pull them out one of these days).
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, yr right, I grabbed an mp3.
	🥁 1:01pm wmfromD: There's an LP called Before Time Began that features early NRPS stuff with Lesh and Hart.
	1:01pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. No time wasted when tuned into Bob Brainen! I actually have this 3 hours slated into my Saturday activity cakendar.. Other things can wait! I am not an FMU archive freak yet. But if I start, I may never be able to escape! LOL!
	1:03pm doctorjazz: Gerry, that's a problem, I do go to the archives sometimes, but you can just live your life there...not that that would be so terrible, but have to get to other things (if only albums purchased after hearing them on FMU-no chance to get to them if you're on the Stream, The Archives, etc...)
	1:04pm doctorjazz: Not plain Deluxe, but SUPER DELUXE, thank goodness, I'd be crushed if I were just stuck with the Deluxe...
	1:06pm Frank Zaatar: Quibble away, Bob! That's what this board is for, right? I certainly know that Hunter did not write all the lyrics. I know that Hunter shows up on the cover of Workingman's Dead(well after PC of course). But I guess I don't know if that means he was an official member of the band.
	1:06pm Gerry from Miami: This particular Beach Boys deluxe retrospective has been especially rewarding. Keep 'em comin'!
	🥁 1:07pm wmfromD: IMHO, the '69 version of All I Ever Wanted is THE version. Esp. Garcia's pedal steel work.
	1:07pm Eugene Bentley: it's nice to hear NRPS song other than Panama Red.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Anybody here a fan of Old and in the Way?
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Wm, this one's def. growing on me, but it's missing the backing vocals that add a lot. it's less fully formed. There are no right or wrong answers, of course.
	1:10pm CalZone!: Digging the show, BB!
	1:11pm dan: With this music, I expect Charlie Chaplin to get into one of his pickles.
	1:11pm Frank Zaatar: *That's PH = Procoul Harum. I wonder how you document being an official member of a band. Is it on your W2 form? @Gerry: Old and in the Way is my favorite bluegrass album.
	1:11pm doctorjazz: Pretty good sound on this James P. Johnson (as heard through the digital streaming pipes), good remaster sounds like to me.
	🥁 1:12pm wmfromD: Bob, agreed. I dig the other version as well.
	1:13pm doctorjazz: Old and In The Way is a great albumfor sure, Frank (I'm headed that way, hopefully not in the way yet...)
	1:15pm Frank Zaatar: Me, I'm proud to be in the way.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. Actually, Procol Harum misspelled the Latin word "procul," which means "far off" or "way beyond." "Harum" is the genitive(or is it dative?) plural of "these things." FOOTNOTE---There is a word "proculsexual," that means having a desire to have a relationship with someone unattainable, like a celebrity or entertainment star. Class dismissed!
	1:26pm Andrew in Toronto: A double Q treat! Thanks!
	1:27pm dan: @Gerry Proculsexual should be the name of a tribute band
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Let's start one! We'll make millions!
	1:30pm doctorjazz: Lovely Drake!
	1:31pm dan: @Gerry You mean the estate of Gary Brooker will make millions.
	1:31pm Eugene Bentley: There was a Nick Drake song used in this last episode of Young Sheldon.
	🥁 1:33pm (Mr) Bill: A perfect pop song. Oh, Laura. I hate ovarian cancer.
	1:33pm Gerry from Miami: The title tune from Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" album was featured in a 1999 Volkswagen Cabriolet commercial. Really cool.
	1:36pm Frank Zaatar: @Gerry: I remember hearing about this philological howler back in the day. Another reason I should have learned Latin.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show!
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Love this No Wave (remember hearing No Wave bands back in the day, DNA, etc...) Wonderful show, Bob! Laters all!
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: Awesome stuff today, BOB, as always. Thanks!
	1:55pm mauri: That 3 hour went fast! Good show Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Thanks so much Bob.
	1:56pm dan: Another great show
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	1:57pm doctorjazz: Didn't catch that was Blood on guitar, he's usually so easy to recognize...oh well...
	1:58pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	1:58pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob!
	1:58pm WR: Thank you, Bob!
	🥁 1:59pm (Mr) Bill: As another FABULOUS show draws to its conclusion. Melody is a wonderful quality in music. Happy May Day to all, and Eid Mubarak to adherents of the Prophet....
