	11:12am Jeff: Yeah, Buffalo Springfield. I didn’t get any sleep thanks to Chuchu (the cat)
	11:12am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB and all the Brainiacs! Nice cover of Stephen Stills by El Chicano!
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:14am (Mr) Bill: @Jeff Is Chuchu ill?
	♥ 11:14am chresti: Morning Bob and braineniacs!
	11:14am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:15am CalZone!: Gary Lewis discography is terribly under appreciated and misunderstood. Terrific writers, arrangers, and musicianship!
	11:16am spodiodi: good morning, chresti!\\//
	11:16am Bob Brainen: CalZone! You said it. A stunning string of hits!
	11:17am CalZone!: ...and non-hits thar should have been!
	♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: Hello Bob. Gary Lewis never really cut it over here.
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Brian in UK! That's a shame. He had little hip cache but he sure had the goods.
	11:19am Gerry from Miami: The Sunshine Company were from the town south of Los Angeles called San Pedro. I lived there for 37 years and a lot of people remembered their super hit, "Back on the Street Again." BTW, San Pedro also produced the Minutemen and fIREHOSE, bands that featured D Boon and Mike Watt. Fun, rockin' place.
	11:19am (Mr) Bill: Right on, CalZone!! (First exclamation point is for the screen name; second for hyperbolic emphasis.)
	♥ 11:19am chresti: good morning spodi!\\//
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am duke: This is a nice version of the Band song
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Glad you like, Duke. I have another version thanks to Andrew in Toronto! To be played on an upcoming show...
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: Hey, Andrew from Toronto!
	11:25am Frank Zaatar: I never really listened to the lyrics when Manuel sang it. They're really lovely and this is a beautiful setting.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	11:25am PT: Fire in the Hole: another example of Skunk Baxter rocking pedal steel in a non-country context...oh, and Good Morning BB and assorted kittens 'n cats!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: oops! It's another Manual song I mean.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: PT! Yup, under-rated, rarely mentioned. Sort of the Dan's secret weapon/sound.
	♥ 11:28am doctorjazz: Nichols for your thoughts...
	11:29am Bob Brainen: And that's "Manuel."
	♥ 11:30am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, Bob, folks!
	11:36am Pax: I thought his name was Jeff "Skunkback" Baxter?.
	♥ 11:36am wmfromD: Is Skunk Baxter on the last Ultimate Spinach LP? I could never bring myself to listen to that one.
	11:38am Eugene Bentley: Mey Bob. Checking in.
	11:40am Eugene Bentley: It was supposed to be Hey Bob.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton!
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Pax!
	11:41am Bob Brainen: wmfromD! Yes he was, but he doesn't speak highly of it, FWIW.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	11:42am Eugene Bentley: I read alot of El Chicano's masters were burned in a fire. at UnversalMCA.
	♥ 11:42am wmfromD: Mono Mono!
	11:44am Bob Brainen: the lift into that middle 8 gets me every time.
	♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: Me too! (Bob @11:44)
	11:45am Robbie White: thanks for the 2 Beatles songs
	♥ 11:46am doctorjazz: Have a CD set of Mono Beatles (but missed the LP set-ordered it twice, got the stereo both times, kept it).
	11:47am Pax: Guess I was wrong all along. Not Skunkback, just Skunk.
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: Next week is life before the Beales which I have a problem thinking that ever existed. Get the Beatle trax while you can.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: I got that too, doctorjazz, but I suspect it's a boot-out of China!
	♥ 11:50am doctorjazz: That damn Mono Beatles LP set now sells for about $1k...
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Pax, i thought you were joking.
	♥ 11:51am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the Eddie Hinton!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: sure
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. I hope your Beatles mono box set is authentic. There were a lot of Chinese bootlegs making the rounds. I found mine at Amazon for $100(well below suggested retail)and grabbed it! My bad! Fake! Packaging was good, but sound was off and the printing on the CDs looked suspicious. I kept it anyway.
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, my Beatles Mono box has some suspect packaging but it sounds fine. I think the packaging is harder to reproduce than just copying cds.
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, you, doctorjazz and I should form a "Ripped-Off Beatles" club!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: Nah, can't complain for what I paid. Ebay, I think.
	♥ 12:03pm doctorjazz: @Gerry-my Beatles CD box predates the Beatles in Mono releases, it was a box containing both mono and stereo released It's actually The Capitol albums, so not complete. www.discogs.com...
	12:04pm Pax: BB: wish I could say I was, but for some reason in my brain I thought of him as Jeff Skunkback Baxter. Don't know why. But if I had to take a guess, I think maybe it's because the first time I heard his name way back when I did make a joke out of his name in that fashion to myself. But then throughout time I guess I forgot it was a joke and so it stuck in my noodle as Skunkback.
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: Fairport w/ fuzzbox. Ha!
	♥ 12:05pm zzz: funky fairport morning BB and all!
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Pax, guaranteed you'll hear misinformation on one of my mic breaks!
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: zzz!
	♥ 12:06pm doctorjazz: The recent release Beatles Box I have is stereo. Honestly, not that fussy about mono versus stereo (I know, The Beatles preferred the Mono, the Stereo was an afterthought, Beatles stereo is often hard right/left images, but I grew up with those).
	♥ 12:07pm doctorjazz: I have gotten the 50th anniversary releases of the later albums.
	♥ 12:07pm Brian in UK: Fairport Convention will be playing the whole of Full House today with Richard Thompson at their Cropredy Festival.
	12:10pm PT: My Beatles Mono box BETTER be authentic, I paid more for it than I've EVER paid for any record/CD. I told the clerk at the sadly defunct Vintage Vinyl "you better not tell my wife how much I paid for this." He said "I don't know your wife." I said "that's not the point." Of course, I don't regret buying it for a second!
	♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: BiUK, wish I could catch Fairport, never gotten to the festival, sounds great. Sigh.... (Will see Tont Trishka/Kenny Kosek at the Sunshine Daydream Bluegrass Festival later today, no, not the same, but should be fun)
	12:11pm Pax: Like sh*t misinformation happens! NBD. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: If your wife ever gets wind of it, @PT, you can sell it and make a very handsome profit, tell her what a savvy investor you are (not recommending this, but as a last ditch effort could come in handy).
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: (on Discogs they start at $1375…)
	12:15pm PT: @doctorjazz: As long as she doesn't start on my guitars...(which she would never do, she is and always has been a sweetie, about my personal passions anyway)
	12:18pm Pax: @BB: Have you ever heard of a defunct college radio station WNTI ?
	12:19pm Eugene Bentley: I have a video of It All Comes 'Round Again documentary with excerpts of their Cropredy Festival. I haven't seen that it had been digitized yet.
	12:20pm (Mr) Bill: Decades since I’ve heard “And When She Smiles.” Did NRBQ cover it?
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Beatles MOBO Box much cheaper on Ebay, but...
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: that's MONO. oy...
	12:22pm Eugene Bentley: Didn't know the Wildweeds did a version of this song. First heard the version by Matthews Southern Comfort.
	🥁 ♥ 12:22pm listener 126464: Hi Bob, loving today's show. Happy weekend everyone!
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill, NRBQ did it live.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, all Big Al Anderson songs, I think MSC covered 3 on one album!
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464! Thanks!
	12:24pm Eugene Bentley: That might be Later That Same Year.
	12:24pm Robbie White: i was wondering WHEN you would play GET THAT GASOLINE
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, sooner or later. Did you play it yet on WOWD?
	12:26pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks, Bob. What a gem. I may have first heard both “And When She Smiles” and “Gasoline Blues” at an NRBQ concert in the mid-’80s.
	12:27pm Eugene Bentley: 1973 was that during the OPEC oil embargo?
	12:28pm Pax: I'm like 2 to 3 minutes behind, cuz I'm still listening to get that gasoline.
	♥ 12:29pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, thanks Bob!
	♥ 12:30pm doctorjazz: (quickly checked ebay, Beatles Mono LP set not cheap...)
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, early 74.
	12:31pm Robbie White: Not yet Bob. Maybe in September.
	♥ 12:34pm Wendy S: Went to my first NRBQ concert recently (fantastic!) and I have to say, I loved being in a room with NRBQ fans - a really interesting mix of folks. I think I could even draw up a typical profile (guy, 60’s, t-shirt, interesting hair, a bit nerdy). I mentioned the cow bell being played in one song to the guy next to me and he got this dreamy look and said “I love cow bell.” Great times.
	12:34pm Eugene Bentley: Bob, knew it was sometime when I was in 7th grade. I no I just dated myself.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: A day without Dolphy is a day without pleasure. So good and gone too soon.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @Eugene Bentley. If you haven't been there already, go to wikipedia and search for "2008 Universal Studios fire." There is a complete(and very lengthy) list of lost material.
	12:45pm Eugene Bentley: Gerry from Miami: Thanks
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm listener 126464: Rick Griffin?
	12:57pm spodiodi: yes, loved the cambells are coming -- they're coming to take me away!
	12:58pm spodiodi: thanks for playing that, Bob. loved hearing it
	♥ 12:59pm chresti: Ghosts
	12:59pm spodiodi: i heard 'em too chresti 😳
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464, yes, thanks!
	1:09pm Pax: Who was the other member and when did he die.
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Pax, which band?
	1:13pm CalZone!: This Jelly Roll Morton piece is pretty freakin great!
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! The whole box is awesome!
	1:18pm Pax: I thought i heard you say a couple of members from the Seeker's has died.
	1:20pm Bob Brainen: Not that I know of-besides Judith Durham.
	1:20pm CalZone!: Lincoln, Lincoln, Bo-Bincoln! Bob Brainen, you and I are the defacto Co-Presidents of the Lincoln Chase Appreciation Society!
	♥ 1:21pm doctorjazz: I'll Never Find Another You was a family song -we'd play it on the car and all sing along in our loudest voices in 20 part harmony (difficult to do with just 4 people). Sad to hear... Glad to hear the song.
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: It's an honor! He's got a LOT of non-lp singles under his name and others!
	♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: I love anything by Jelly Roll Morton! Got to see NRBQ before the Pandemic at WFMUs Monty Hall, much fun! (I'm back for a bit...)
	1:26pm Pax: Either I misheard you, or you misspoke. half a dozen one or the other. Makes no difference now.
	1:30pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, can't help asking. Not sure I know which of those young ladies in your front-page photo is the divine Miss Nyro. Please identify our mystery guest.
	1:36pm Pax: Neato ! Wish I could say that.
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, names are listed in order
	1:36pm Eugene Bentley: Current books I'm reading are Darkness Before Dawn by Ingrid Pitt and Natural Woman by Carole King.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, BOB! The toothy grin threw me off. LOL!
	♥ 1:40pm WR: Need to get this Millie Small Fats album. When Bodega Pop Gary did a feature on Ms Small, maybe last year, I put on my list but haven't got it yet.
	♥ 1:41pm chresti: LN when she was a happy camper.
	1:43pm Pax: Black foot was on the island label the first time i seen it.
	1:44pm CalZone!: It's a Platters sandwich on a Millie Small Roll!
	♥ 1:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: Zola Taylor, the under-recognized female singer in the original Platters. She left because of the Beatles. Not her cup of tea and unwilling to compete with the British invasion.
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm listener 126464: Thanks Bob!
	1:55pm Gerry from Miami: 126464, Rick Gruffin was one hell of a graphic artist!
	1:56pm CalZone!: Fun and fascinating show BB! Thanks!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Great show, BOB! Looking forward to your special with Pete next Saturday.
	♥ 1:56pm Wendy S: Swinging show! Really looking forward to next week’s special show!
	♥ 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show. Thanks Bob!
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Another three immensely enjoyable and revelatory hours. Thanks for helping me get me through another catsick week.
	1:57pm spodiodi: great show, thanks, Bob!
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks for another three hours of musical exploration. Looking forward to next week with Pete
	1:57pm Pax: Growing up the girlies anywhere would like to get together and sing Millie Smalls My boy lollipop Because of the double entender. It got passed on to at least three generations before it eventually faded out in the 80s before it got lost to Future generations.
	2:00pm Pax: Good shoe Bob. Until next
	♥ 3:16pm WR: Thank you Bob, enjoyed very much.

	11:12am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB and all the Brainiacs! Nice cover of Stephen Stills by El Chicano!
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:14am (Mr) Bill: @Jeff Is Chuchu ill?
	♥ 11:14am chresti: Morning Bob and braineniacs!
	11:14am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:15am CalZone!: Gary Lewis discography is terribly under appreciated and misunderstood. Terrific writers, arrangers, and musicianship!
	11:16am spodiodi: good morning, chresti!\\//
	11:16am Bob Brainen: CalZone! You said it. A stunning string of hits!
	11:17am CalZone!: ...and non-hits thar should have been!
	♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: Hello Bob. Gary Lewis never really cut it over here.
	11:19am Bob Brainen: Brian in UK! That's a shame. He had little hip cache but he sure had the goods.
	11:19am Gerry from Miami: The Sunshine Company were from the town south of Los Angeles called San Pedro. I lived there for 37 years and a lot of people remembered their super hit, "Back on the Street Again." BTW, San Pedro also produced the Minutemen and fIREHOSE, bands that featured D Boon and Mike Watt. Fun, rockin' place.
	11:19am (Mr) Bill: Right on, CalZone!! (First exclamation point is for the screen name; second for hyperbolic emphasis.)
	♥ 11:19am chresti: good morning spodi!\\//
	🥁 ♥ 11:21am duke: This is a nice version of the Band song
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Glad you like, Duke. I have another version thanks to Andrew in Toronto! To be played on an upcoming show...
	♥ 11:24am doctorjazz: Hey, Andrew from Toronto!
	11:25am Frank Zaatar: I never really listened to the lyrics when Manuel sang it. They're really lovely and this is a beautiful setting.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	11:25am PT: Fire in the Hole: another example of Skunk Baxter rocking pedal steel in a non-country context...oh, and Good Morning BB and assorted kittens 'n cats!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: oops! It's another Manual song I mean.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: PT! Yup, under-rated, rarely mentioned. Sort of the Dan's secret weapon/sound.
	♥ 11:28am doctorjazz: Nichols for your thoughts...
	11:29am Bob Brainen: And that's "Manuel."
	♥ 11:30am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, Bob, folks!
	11:36am Pax: I thought his name was Jeff "Skunkback" Baxter?.
	♥ 11:36am wmfromD: Is Skunk Baxter on the last Ultimate Spinach LP? I could never bring myself to listen to that one.
	11:38am Eugene Bentley: Mey Bob. Checking in.
	11:40am Eugene Bentley: It was supposed to be Hey Bob.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Pauly from Clifton!
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Pax!
	11:41am Bob Brainen: wmfromD! Yes he was, but he doesn't speak highly of it, FWIW.
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	11:42am Eugene Bentley: I read alot of El Chicano's masters were burned in a fire. at UnversalMCA.
	♥ 11:42am wmfromD: Mono Mono!
	11:44am Bob Brainen: the lift into that middle 8 gets me every time.
	♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: Me too! (Bob @11:44)
	11:45am Robbie White: thanks for the 2 Beatles songs
	♥ 11:46am doctorjazz: Have a CD set of Mono Beatles (but missed the LP set-ordered it twice, got the stereo both times, kept it).
	11:47am Pax: Guess I was wrong all along. Not Skunkback, just Skunk.
	11:48am Eugene Bentley: Next week is life before the Beales which I have a problem thinking that ever existed. Get the Beatle trax while you can.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: I got that too, doctorjazz, but I suspect it's a boot-out of China!
	♥ 11:50am doctorjazz: That damn Mono Beatles LP set now sells for about $1k...
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Pax, i thought you were joking.
	♥ 11:51am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the Eddie Hinton!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: sure
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. I hope your Beatles mono box set is authentic. There were a lot of Chinese bootlegs making the rounds. I found mine at Amazon for $100(well below suggested retail)and grabbed it! My bad! Fake! Packaging was good, but sound was off and the printing on the CDs looked suspicious. I kept it anyway.
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, my Beatles Mono box has some suspect packaging but it sounds fine. I think the packaging is harder to reproduce than just copying cds.
	12:01pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, you, doctorjazz and I should form a "Ripped-Off Beatles" club!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: Nah, can't complain for what I paid. Ebay, I think.
	♥ 12:03pm doctorjazz: @Gerry-my Beatles CD box predates the Beatles in Mono releases, it was a box containing both mono and stereo released It's actually The Capitol albums, so not complete. www.discogs.com...
	12:04pm Pax: BB: wish I could say I was, but for some reason in my brain I thought of him as Jeff Skunkback Baxter. Don't know why. But if I had to take a guess, I think maybe it's because the first time I heard his name way back when I did make a joke out of his name in that fashion to myself. But then throughout time I guess I forgot it was a joke and so it stuck in my noodle as Skunkback.
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: Fairport w/ fuzzbox. Ha!
	♥ 12:05pm zzz: funky fairport morning BB and all!
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Pax, guaranteed you'll hear misinformation on one of my mic breaks!
	12:06pm Bob Brainen: zzz!
	♥ 12:06pm doctorjazz: The recent release Beatles Box I have is stereo. Honestly, not that fussy about mono versus stereo (I know, The Beatles preferred the Mono, the Stereo was an afterthought, Beatles stereo is often hard right/left images, but I grew up with those).
	♥ 12:07pm doctorjazz: I have gotten the 50th anniversary releases of the later albums.
	♥ 12:07pm Brian in UK: Fairport Convention will be playing the whole of Full House today with Richard Thompson at their Cropredy Festival.
	12:10pm PT: My Beatles Mono box BETTER be authentic, I paid more for it than I've EVER paid for any record/CD. I told the clerk at the sadly defunct Vintage Vinyl "you better not tell my wife how much I paid for this." He said "I don't know your wife." I said "that's not the point." Of course, I don't regret buying it for a second!
	♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: BiUK, wish I could catch Fairport, never gotten to the festival, sounds great. Sigh.... (Will see Tont Trishka/Kenny Kosek at the Sunshine Daydream Bluegrass Festival later today, no, not the same, but should be fun)
	12:11pm Pax: Like sh*t misinformation happens! NBD. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: If your wife ever gets wind of it, @PT, you can sell it and make a very handsome profit, tell her what a savvy investor you are (not recommending this, but as a last ditch effort could come in handy).
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: (on Discogs they start at $1375…)
	12:15pm PT: @doctorjazz: As long as she doesn't start on my guitars...(which she would never do, she is and always has been a sweetie, about my personal passions anyway)
	12:18pm Pax: @BB: Have you ever heard of a defunct college radio station WNTI ?
	12:19pm Eugene Bentley: I have a video of It All Comes 'Round Again documentary with excerpts of their Cropredy Festival. I haven't seen that it had been digitized yet.
	12:20pm (Mr) Bill: Decades since I’ve heard “And When She Smiles.” Did NRBQ cover it?
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Beatles MOBO Box much cheaper on Ebay, but...
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: that's MONO. oy...
	12:22pm Eugene Bentley: Didn't know the Wildweeds did a version of this song. First heard the version by Matthews Southern Comfort.
	🥁 ♥ 12:22pm listener 126464: Hi Bob, loving today's show. Happy weekend everyone!
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill, NRBQ did it live.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, all Big Al Anderson songs, I think MSC covered 3 on one album!
	12:24pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464! Thanks!
	12:24pm Eugene Bentley: That might be Later That Same Year.
	12:24pm Robbie White: i was wondering WHEN you would play GET THAT GASOLINE
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Robbie, sooner or later. Did you play it yet on WOWD?
	12:26pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks, Bob. What a gem. I may have first heard both “And When She Smiles” and “Gasoline Blues” at an NRBQ concert in the mid-’80s.
	12:27pm Eugene Bentley: 1973 was that during the OPEC oil embargo?
	12:28pm Pax: I'm like 2 to 3 minutes behind, cuz I'm still listening to get that gasoline.
	♥ 12:29pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, thanks Bob!
	♥ 12:30pm doctorjazz: (quickly checked ebay, Beatles Mono LP set not cheap...)
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, early 74.
	12:31pm Robbie White: Not yet Bob. Maybe in September.
	♥ 12:34pm Wendy S: Went to my first NRBQ concert recently (fantastic!) and I have to say, I loved being in a room with NRBQ fans - a really interesting mix of folks. I think I could even draw up a typical profile (guy, 60’s, t-shirt, interesting hair, a bit nerdy). I mentioned the cow bell being played in one song to the guy next to me and he got this dreamy look and said “I love cow bell.” Great times.
	12:34pm Eugene Bentley: Bob, knew it was sometime when I was in 7th grade. I no I just dated myself.
	12:36pm Gerry from Miami: A day without Dolphy is a day without pleasure. So good and gone too soon.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: @Eugene Bentley. If you haven't been there already, go to wikipedia and search for "2008 Universal Studios fire." There is a complete(and very lengthy) list of lost material.
	12:45pm Eugene Bentley: Gerry from Miami: Thanks
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm listener 126464: Rick Griffin?
	12:57pm spodiodi: yes, loved the cambells are coming -- they're coming to take me away!
	12:58pm spodiodi: thanks for playing that, Bob. loved hearing it
	♥ 12:59pm chresti: Ghosts
	12:59pm spodiodi: i heard 'em too chresti 😳
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464, yes, thanks!
	1:09pm Pax: Who was the other member and when did he die.
	1:13pm Bob Brainen: Pax, which band?
	1:13pm CalZone!: This Jelly Roll Morton piece is pretty freakin great!
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: CalZone! The whole box is awesome!
	1:18pm Pax: I thought i heard you say a couple of members from the Seeker's has died.
	1:20pm Bob Brainen: Not that I know of-besides Judith Durham.
	1:20pm CalZone!: Lincoln, Lincoln, Bo-Bincoln! Bob Brainen, you and I are the defacto Co-Presidents of the Lincoln Chase Appreciation Society!
	♥ 1:21pm doctorjazz: I'll Never Find Another You was a family song -we'd play it on the car and all sing along in our loudest voices in 20 part harmony (difficult to do with just 4 people). Sad to hear... Glad to hear the song.
	1:21pm Bob Brainen: It's an honor! He's got a LOT of non-lp singles under his name and others!
	♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: I love anything by Jelly Roll Morton! Got to see NRBQ before the Pandemic at WFMUs Monty Hall, much fun! (I'm back for a bit...)
	1:26pm Pax: Either I misheard you, or you misspoke. half a dozen one or the other. Makes no difference now.
	1:30pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, can't help asking. Not sure I know which of those young ladies in your front-page photo is the divine Miss Nyro. Please identify our mystery guest.
	1:36pm Pax: Neato ! Wish I could say that.
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, names are listed in order
	1:36pm Eugene Bentley: Current books I'm reading are Darkness Before Dawn by Ingrid Pitt and Natural Woman by Carole King.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, BOB! The toothy grin threw me off. LOL!
	♥ 1:40pm WR: Need to get this Millie Small Fats album. When Bodega Pop Gary did a feature on Ms Small, maybe last year, I put on my list but haven't got it yet.
	♥ 1:41pm chresti: LN when she was a happy camper.
	1:43pm Pax: Black foot was on the island label the first time i seen it.
	1:44pm CalZone!: It's a Platters sandwich on a Millie Small Roll!
	♥ 1:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: Zola Taylor, the under-recognized female singer in the original Platters. She left because of the Beatles. Not her cup of tea and unwilling to compete with the British invasion.
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm listener 126464: Thanks Bob!
	1:55pm Gerry from Miami: 126464, Rick Gruffin was one hell of a graphic artist!
	1:56pm CalZone!: Fun and fascinating show BB! Thanks!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Great show, BOB! Looking forward to your special with Pete next Saturday.
	♥ 1:56pm Wendy S: Swinging show! Really looking forward to next week’s special show!
	♥ 1:56pm wmfromD: Great show. Thanks Bob!
	1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Another three immensely enjoyable and revelatory hours. Thanks for helping me get me through another catsick week.
	1:57pm spodiodi: great show, thanks, Bob!
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks for another three hours of musical exploration. Looking forward to next week with Pete
	1:57pm Pax: Growing up the girlies anywhere would like to get together and sing Millie Smalls My boy lollipop Because of the double entender. It got passed on to at least three generations before it eventually faded out in the 80s before it got lost to Future generations.
	2:00pm Pax: Good shoe Bob. Until next
	♥ 3:16pm WR: Thank you Bob, enjoyed very much.
