	11:04am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, (Mr) Bill!
	11:05am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood!
	🥁 11:05am PT: Hey Andrew in Toronto, the land of Zal!
	11:05am 1whoknewcthulhu: Good morning Bob, Pete, and all. Looking forward to a heapin' helpin' of the Spoonful.
	11:05am Bob Brainen: Sorry (Mr) Bill. It's all killa, no filla.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: 1whoknewcthulhu!
	11:06am Jeff: Good Morning Bob, Pete and the rest of youse! I saw a mini Spoonful reunion at the Bitter End a few years ago. Joe Marra R.I.P. (who ran the Night Owl) threw himself a birthday party at the club. John and Steve did a mini-set together! And, John’s voice sounded pretty decent. One of the tragedies of rock and roll is how John’s voice deteriorated over the years. Not 100% sure why. He used to sound great when NRBQ backed him in the ‘80s. I’m pretty sure something happened to his throat (medically speaking). The Lovin’ Spoonful - NYC’s finest!
	11:08am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Jeff! Pretty cool! RE: John S. yeah, not sure.
	11:09am Andrew in Toronto: Here is Zal`s restaurant: chezpiggy.ca...
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: Andrew!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:10am Andrew in Toronto: Franco! Check out Zal`s restaurant please? Please see above:
	11:10am doctorjazz: Hey all, catch some likely not all of this show in real time, will need to finish in the archives. Never got to see the Spoonful back in the day. I did get to see Jim Kweskin before the Pandemic, Maria/John Muldaur and John Sebastian in the band, Sebastian did some of his hits from the Spoonful. Was a great show.
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Andrew, have you been there?
	🥁 11:11am PT: Jeff: nice show you saw! I'm glad Sebastian's voice had at least somewhat recovered. His throat maladies are kind of a mystery, and were at their worst at the RRHoF induction. A shame, as that was such a high-profile show (and the final show with all 4 members IIRC).
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: I just did! Wow, I had no idea.
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: Yes I have Bob. The place is awesome. Zal wasn`t there that day though. It`s worth the drive! The food is incredible!
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: The vibe in the place is sublime.
	11:14am Andrew in Toronto: Hi doc!
	🥁 11:14am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Andrew, next time I come north let's meet there!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:15am Franco Twinkie: I am so happy right now.
	11:15am Andrew in Toronto: You got it Bob. There might still be a pretty funky record store just down the street.
	11:16am Andrew in Toronto: Hi cresti!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Andrew, even better!
	11:17am doctorjazz: Hi Andrew! I heard about Sebastian's vocal problems, I thought he wouldn't sing at the Kweskin show, but he did (a bit), and he sounded fine at the show I saw (he didn't do most of the singing, but when he sang he sounded great!
	🥁 11:17am (Mr) Bill: The Lovin' Spoonful! Just told my wife, "Darling, I'll be home soon." Be back as soon as I can ASAP....
	11:17am Franco Twinkie: It sounds like John and I had the same problem.
	11:18am Wendy S: Completely off topic but I was just glancing at a venues upcoming concerts and there’s a group called The Longest Johns 😂
	11:18am Jeff: I always thought of Eddie Brigati (Rascals) and Zal Yanovsky as kindred spirits (even though Zally played guitar and Eddie didn’t). A couple of lovable guys who brought a lot of spirit to their bands, and the chicks dug ‘em both!
	11:19am doctorjazz: Not related, but went to the club Mezzrow in NYC last night, saw Alan Broadbent in a trio last, man, can he play piano!
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 11:24am (Mr) Bill: R.I.P. The Killer.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: R.I.P.
	🥁 11:26am wmfromD: I've always been under the impression that Sebastian and Zal didn't much experience with electric guitars prior to the Spoonful. Hard to believe. Especially Zal.
	11:27am Andrew in Toronto: R.I.P.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: non sequitirs are always welcome. Longest Johns=clever. Broadbent-very cool.
	🥁 11:28am PT: RIP Jerry Lee, aka The Last Man Standing.
	11:28am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob, Pete, and streamin' spoonfuls.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Zal & John both very very good guitarists. Learned real fast. Some people just take to the change easier. Both used thumb picks.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: adamdoesit!
	11:29am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob and Peter.
	11:30am SmokinJ: Cheers all! Havin' a blast bb! 8-)
	11:30am Andrew in Toronto: Hey adamdoesit!
	11:30am adamdoesit: AiT!
	🥁 11:32am (Mr) Bill: "Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful."
	11:43am Greg g: Forgot about this! 1,000 apologies!! But glad to be here now Bob and Pete!! Happy Halloween Weeknd & Spoonful Forever!!!!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Greg g!
	11:50am doctorjazz: Missippi John, love his stuff!
	11:53am doctorjazz: Memphis Jug Band recording sounding quite good, especially considering the vintage, good remastering.
	11:57am doctorjazz: Watta Voice!!!!
	11:59am Greg g: Yes to that Dr. Jazz!!
	12:01pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, this kills me. I gotta leave early and go to a funeral. Thanks Bobs, and thank the bloody Jesus for the archive.
	12:02pm doctorjazz: Sounds like Fishin' Blues (love Taj Mahal's version of it).
	12:03pm Bob Brainen: See a Franco. Hey, you guys, our supporters make those deep archives possible!
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Sorry Franco! Sad event to have to go to.
	12:04pm zzz: morning Bob and all, beautiful day sitting outside enjoying the show i visited my friends at their childhood home in kingston ontario a bunch of years ago and they took me to chez piggy.
	12:04pm Greg g: Condolences Franco , take care
	12:04pm Franco Twinkie: Don't be sorry Doc. It's going to be a hell of a party!
	12:06pm doctorjazz: That's the way to leave, Franco!
	12:08pm doctorjazz: Did Prince Albert come in a can?
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: doc, can you please call me a cab?
	12:10pm Franco Twinkie: I don't understand why Prince Albert would have to come in a can. It's my understanding the man was a player.
	12:14pm Dean: Just checked. My refrigerator is running.
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Dean! So is my nose.
	12:15pm Dean: Well, you better...wipe it!
	🥁 12:23pm chresti: In the 70s it was Taster's Choice
	🥁 12:27pm chresti: *the early 70s. The 70s was a long decade for me
	12:27pm TDK60: Hi Bob & Pete!
	🥁 12:30pm wmfromD: I've come to appreciate the Daydream LP. Some strong material on there.
	12:31pm TDK60: I do love the Daydream album.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: TDK60!
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: wm, Daydream is a very enjoyable album, no doubt.
	12:34pm timinoak: Hello!
	12:34pm TDK60: I heard that John Sebastian cowrote "City" with his brother (who mainly wrote it) and brother Mark S. had to insist on getting credit.
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: timinoak!
	🥁 12:36pm PT: TDK60: Gee, John's always been quite generous in praise for his brother's contribution to Summer in the City. After the fact, I guess. And Steve Boone got a credit there too (as he does on You didn't Have To Be So Nice, our current selection!)
	12:39pm TDK60: PT. Sorry, I should've this was hearsay from a friend of Mark S.'s way back when. Just checked the Wickedpedia: John brought Mark into the studio during recording.
	12:40pm TDK60: [said]
	🥁 12:42pm wmfromD: Hums clocks in at just under 30 minutes. The way it should be!
	12:45pm spodiodi: hi, Bob and Pete! hi, all here for the end
	12:46pm Wendy S: Coconut Grove!
	🥁 12:46pm PT: Hey @spodiodi! We have a long long way to go, settle in and enjoy!
	12:47pm spodiodi: ah, sorry... still waking up :)
	12:48pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:49pm greg g: Wow...Coconut Grove what a beautiful tune
	🥁 12:49pm (Mr) Bill: What a gem is "Younger Girl."
	12:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodi!
	12:49pm spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	12:51pm TDK60: A New Jersey group, The Critters, had a minor hit with "Younger Girl." Around the same time as L.S.'s track.
	12:51pm Wendy S: Didn’t Want to Have to Do it - my other favorite!
	🥁 12:54pm (Mr) Bill: No other song remotely like "Darling Be Home Soon."
	12:55pm doctorjazz: "a quarter of my life has almost passed", pretty presumptuous lyric, could only be written by a young fellow.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, will have to catch the rest in the archives, thanks Bob and Pete, great show!
	12:58pm greg g: so many wonderful songs & lovely orchestration
	🥁 12:58pm (Mr) Bill: The Spoonful provided a uniquely useful model of masculinity.
	1:00pm TDK60: Another band where I knew the songs would hold up well decades later. Turns out correct.
	1:00pm Wendy S: @(Mr) Bill: Can you elaborate?
	1:05pm Dean: OT, but perhaps of interest, a friend just forwarded this to me re: Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders, and drugs: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jerry-garcia-lost-pipe-found-130000522.html
	1:10pm doctorjazz: That was quick, I'm back (false alarm)
	🥁 1:12pm wmfromD: I've heard a pre-Spoonful(?) version of Didn't Want To... with Cass Eliot and vocals. Is that The Mugwumps?
	1:13pm Andrew in Toronto: Holy Smokes!!! What sustain!
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Purty!
	1:16pm Dean: That was Grieg overturing Rossini's overture.
	1:17pm Bob Brainen: Not sure, I think Cass may have done it afterward, maybe on her tv show?
	1:17pm greg g: Just raised a little hell & glad to see that Jack O Lantern pop up! Pledge if & whatever you can folks.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Thanks greg g!
	🥁 1:23pm wmfromD: I love the back-up vocals on this tune.
	🥁 1:23pm PT: wmfromD: JUST thinking that!
	1:23pm greg g: Bob your welcome , love the features , love the shows!
	1:25pm doctorjazz: And the original, fife and all! Love this, natch!
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: yeah Henry Thomas! greetings Bob & Pete and all
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Many fish bite if you got good bait
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: i once won a free beverage at a bar for knowing who Henry Thomas was!
	1:27pm zzz: cool hearing that henry thomas fishin blues
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: zzz!
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	1:33pm doctorjazz: there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville
	🥁 1:34pm listener 126464: Thanks Bob and Pete for a great show today!
	1:35pm doctorjazz: There was a comedic cover, Nashville Katz Nashville Katz! He runs a kosher deliii! Nashville Katz! It's the only one in town! Nashville Katz! It's not like yer in Brooklyn! Nashville Katz! He's the only one around! We;;, there are fourteen hundred and fifty three different restaurants in Nashville, Where you can get anything from hominy grits to Chatex de Tournville. But there's only one place for a good Jewish boy, if he really wants to eat well, Just tell anybody to take you to Katz' -- the kosher deli in Nashville!
	1:35pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464, our pleasure!
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Great tune(Jug Band Music)-when I heard it, I didn't really know what Jug Band Music was
	🥁 1:39pm PT: @doctorjazz: Well done! One caveat: it's "NOSHVILLE Katz". That one letter change makes everything funnier...
	1:40pm Wendy S: 😂
	1:43pm TDK60: I'm glad Spector didn't come in, wouldn't have meshed.
	1:45pm fred: @doctorjazz: I have that Nashville Katz on a premium. Somewhere... Maybe you can relate to a record being one in a few thousands
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: This is timeless. Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: @Fred-s tory of my life... Great show, Bob and Pete, thanks a million!
	1:52pm doctorjazz: (Actually don't think I have Nashville Katz, but really do like it. Kind of thing you don't need to listen to all that ofetn, though)
	1:53pm Bob Brainen: fred!
	1:54pm TDK60: Thanks a bunch, Bob & Pete!

One of the tragedies of rock and roll is how John’s voice deteriorated over the years. Not 100% sure why. He used to sound great when NRBQ backed him in the ‘80s. I’m pretty sure something happened to his throat (medically speaking). The Lovin’ Spoonful - NYC’s finest!
	11:08am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Jeff! Pretty cool! RE: John S. yeah, not sure.
	11:09am Andrew in Toronto: Here is Zal`s restaurant: chezpiggy.ca...
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: Andrew!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:10am Andrew in Toronto: Franco! Check out Zal`s restaurant please? Please see above:
	11:10am doctorjazz: Hey all, catch some likely not all of this show in real time, will need to finish in the archives. Never got to see the Spoonful back in the day. I did get to see Jim Kweskin before the Pandemic, Maria/John Muldaur and John Sebastian in the band, Sebastian did some of his hits from the Spoonful. Was a great show.
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Andrew, have you been there?
	🥁 11:11am PT: Jeff: nice show you saw! I'm glad Sebastian's voice had at least somewhat recovered. His throat maladies are kind of a mystery, and were at their worst at the RRHoF induction. A shame, as that was such a high-profile show (and the final show with all 4 members IIRC).
	11:11am Franco Twinkie: I just did! Wow, I had no idea.
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: Yes I have Bob. The place is awesome. Zal wasn`t there that day though. It`s worth the drive! The food is incredible!
	11:13am Andrew in Toronto: The vibe in the place is sublime.
	11:14am Andrew in Toronto: Hi doc!
	🥁 11:14am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Andrew, next time I come north let's meet there!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:15am Franco Twinkie: I am so happy right now.
	11:15am Andrew in Toronto: You got it Bob. There might still be a pretty funky record store just down the street.
	11:16am Andrew in Toronto: Hi cresti!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Andrew, even better!
	11:17am doctorjazz: Hi Andrew! I heard about Sebastian's vocal problems, I thought he wouldn't sing at the Kweskin show, but he did (a bit), and he sounded fine at the show I saw (he didn't do most of the singing, but when he sang he sounded great!
	🥁 11:17am (Mr) Bill: The Lovin' Spoonful! Just told my wife, "Darling, I'll be home soon." Be back as soon as I can ASAP....
	11:17am Franco Twinkie: It sounds like John and I had the same problem.
	11:18am Wendy S: Completely off topic but I was just glancing at a venues upcoming concerts and there’s a group called The Longest Johns 😂
	11:18am Jeff: I always thought of Eddie Brigati (Rascals) and Zal Yanovsky as kindred spirits (even though Zally played guitar and Eddie didn’t). A couple of lovable guys who brought a lot of spirit to their bands, and the chicks dug ‘em both!
	11:19am doctorjazz: Not related, but went to the club Mezzrow in NYC last night, saw Alan Broadbent in a trio last, man, can he play piano!
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Hi Andrew!
	🥁 11:24am (Mr) Bill: R.I.P. The Killer.
	11:25am Bob Brainen: R.I.P.
	🥁 11:26am wmfromD: I've always been under the impression that Sebastian and Zal didn't much experience with electric guitars prior to the Spoonful. Hard to believe. Especially Zal.
	11:27am Andrew in Toronto: R.I.P.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: non sequitirs are always welcome. Longest Johns=clever. Broadbent-very cool.
	🥁 11:28am PT: RIP Jerry Lee, aka The Last Man Standing.
	11:28am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob, Pete, and streamin' spoonfuls.
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Zal & John both very very good guitarists. Learned real fast. Some people just take to the change easier. Both used thumb picks.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: adamdoesit!
	11:29am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob and Peter.
	11:30am SmokinJ: Cheers all! Havin' a blast bb! 8-)
	11:30am Andrew in Toronto: Hey adamdoesit!
	11:30am adamdoesit: AiT!
	🥁 11:32am (Mr) Bill: "Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful."
	11:43am Greg g: Forgot about this! 1,000 apologies!! But glad to be here now Bob and Pete!! Happy Halloween Weeknd & Spoonful Forever!!!!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Greg g!
	11:50am doctorjazz: Missippi John, love his stuff!
	11:53am doctorjazz: Memphis Jug Band recording sounding quite good, especially considering the vintage, good remastering.
	11:57am doctorjazz: Watta Voice!!!!
	11:59am Greg g: Yes to that Dr. Jazz!!
	12:01pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, this kills me. I gotta leave early and go to a funeral. Thanks Bobs, and thank the bloody Jesus for the archive.
	12:02pm doctorjazz: Sounds like Fishin' Blues (love Taj Mahal's version of it).
	12:03pm Bob Brainen: See a Franco. Hey, you guys, our supporters make those deep archives possible!
	12:03pm doctorjazz: Sorry Franco! Sad event to have to go to.
	12:04pm zzz: morning Bob and all, beautiful day sitting outside enjoying the show i visited my friends at their childhood home in kingston ontario a bunch of years ago and they took me to chez piggy.
	12:04pm Greg g: Condolences Franco , take care
	12:04pm Franco Twinkie: Don't be sorry Doc. It's going to be a hell of a party!
	12:06pm doctorjazz: That's the way to leave, Franco!
	12:08pm doctorjazz: Did Prince Albert come in a can?
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: doc, can you please call me a cab?
	12:10pm Franco Twinkie: I don't understand why Prince Albert would have to come in a can. It's my understanding the man was a player.
	12:14pm Dean: Just checked. My refrigerator is running.
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Dean! So is my nose.
	12:15pm Dean: Well, you better...wipe it!
	🥁 12:23pm chresti: In the 70s it was Taster's Choice
	🥁 12:27pm chresti: *the early 70s. The 70s was a long decade for me
	12:27pm TDK60: Hi Bob & Pete!
	🥁 12:30pm wmfromD: I've come to appreciate the Daydream LP. Some strong material on there.
	12:31pm TDK60: I do love the Daydream album.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: TDK60!
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: wm, Daydream is a very enjoyable album, no doubt.
	12:34pm timinoak: Hello!
	12:34pm TDK60: I heard that John Sebastian cowrote "City" with his brother (who mainly wrote it) and brother Mark S. had to insist on getting credit.
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: timinoak!
	🥁 12:36pm PT: TDK60: Gee, John's always been quite generous in praise for his brother's contribution to Summer in the City. After the fact, I guess. And Steve Boone got a credit there too (as he does on You didn't Have To Be So Nice, our current selection!)
	12:39pm TDK60: PT. Sorry, I should've this was hearsay from a friend of Mark S.'s way back when. Just checked the Wickedpedia: John brought Mark into the studio during recording.
	12:40pm TDK60: [said]
	🥁 12:42pm wmfromD: Hums clocks in at just under 30 minutes. The way it should be!
	12:45pm spodiodi: hi, Bob and Pete! hi, all here for the end
	12:46pm Wendy S: Coconut Grove!
	🥁 12:46pm PT: Hey @spodiodi! We have a long long way to go, settle in and enjoy!
	12:47pm spodiodi: ah, sorry... still waking up :)
	12:48pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:49pm greg g: Wow...Coconut Grove what a beautiful tune
	🥁 12:49pm (Mr) Bill: What a gem is "Younger Girl."
	12:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi spodi!
	12:49pm spodiodi: hi, Andrew!
	12:51pm TDK60: A New Jersey group, The Critters, had a minor hit with "Younger Girl." Around the same time as L.S.'s track.
	12:51pm Wendy S: Didn’t Want to Have to Do it - my other favorite!
	🥁 12:54pm (Mr) Bill: No other song remotely like "Darling Be Home Soon."
	12:55pm doctorjazz: "a quarter of my life has almost passed", pretty presumptuous lyric, could only be written by a young fellow.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, will have to catch the rest in the archives, thanks Bob and Pete, great show!
	12:58pm greg g: so many wonderful songs & lovely orchestration
	🥁 12:58pm (Mr) Bill: The Spoonful provided a uniquely useful model of masculinity.
	1:00pm TDK60: Another band where I knew the songs would hold up well decades later. Turns out correct.
	1:00pm Wendy S: @(Mr) Bill: Can you elaborate?
	1:05pm Dean: OT, but perhaps of interest, a friend just forwarded this to me re: Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders, and drugs: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jerry-garcia-lost-pipe-found-130000522.html
	1:10pm doctorjazz: That was quick, I'm back (false alarm)
	🥁 1:12pm wmfromD: I've heard a pre-Spoonful(?) version of Didn't Want To... with Cass Eliot and vocals. Is that The Mugwumps?
	1:13pm Andrew in Toronto: Holy Smokes!!! What sustain!
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Purty!
	1:16pm Dean: That was Grieg overturing Rossini's overture.
	1:17pm Bob Brainen: Not sure, I think Cass may have done it afterward, maybe on her tv show?
	1:17pm greg g: Just raised a little hell & glad to see that Jack O Lantern pop up! Pledge if & whatever you can folks.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Thanks greg g!
	🥁 1:23pm wmfromD: I love the back-up vocals on this tune.
	🥁 1:23pm PT: wmfromD: JUST thinking that!

	1:35pm Bob Brainen: listener 126464, our pleasure!
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Great tune(Jug Band Music)-when I heard it, I didn't really know what Jug Band Music was
	🥁 1:39pm PT: @doctorjazz: Well done! One caveat: it's "NOSHVILLE Katz". That one letter change makes everything funnier...
	1:40pm Wendy S: 😂
	1:43pm TDK60: I'm glad Spector didn't come in, wouldn't have meshed.
	1:45pm fred: @doctorjazz: I have that Nashville Katz on a premium. Somewhere... Maybe you can relate to a record being one in a few thousands
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: This is timeless. Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: @Fred-s tory of my life... Great show, Bob and Pete, thanks a million!
