	11:07am WR: Hello Bob and listeners.
	11:07am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:07am Bob Brainen: WR!
	11:07am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Best Left" by "The Beths" Love this band!!! Hi Bob and Streamers!
	11:09am Jeff: Bob, I don’t know if that’s good or bad. All I know is that the (inevitable) passage of time is speeding up as the years go by. Kinda disconcerting 🙀
	11:09am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz!
	11:10am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & all!
	11:10am SmokinJ: Howdy all! 8-)
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Jeff, do you still work? There is no doubt time is flying by faster, but sometimes not in the right places!
	11:11am dan: Good morning all
	11:11am dan: Jethro Toe, a one hit wonder
	11:11am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:11am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:12am Jeff: Bob, I love all these female fronted soft(ish) rock/pop groups you play - Sundays, Mazzy Starr, Beths, etc!
	11:12am Bob Brainen: dan!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @11:12 Thanks, but Beths can really rock out, no?
	11:17am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:12 Don't know Mazzy Star (the name, yes, but not the music), but don't think of The Beths as soft(ish) rock/pop, more of a Power-Pop or Punk-Pop(or some other rediculous hyphenated classification)
	11:18am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Story" by "The Beckies" cool track! Don't know them (my older daughter, RebeccaJazz, used to be called Beckles by some friends)
	11:19am Jeff: Yes - I saw them on a livestream within the last year. Possibly, from Mountain Stage? They were great? And, it’s hard to beat that New Zealand/Aussie accent when they speak.
	11:20am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Bob and all other listeners!
	11:21am Gina Bacon: Morning, Andrew!
	11:22am Gerry from Miami: Jan and no Dean? Which one had the accident(or was it an illness?).I can definitely hear Hal Blaine on those drums here.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto!
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Jan had the horrible crash.
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:17 Hi doc!
	11:25am SecretSquirrel: Good morning, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @10:37 Hello TDK60!
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @11:01 Hi crestikins!
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:25 Hello Andrew!
	11:26am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:10 Morning Gina!
	11:26am dan: Pentangling sounds like it should be a dance craze on TikTok
	11:26am SecretSquirrel: Adore the first Pentangle album. It’s pretty much perfect.
	🥁 11:27am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Pentangling" by "Pentangle" A great debut.
	🥁 11:29am chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	11:30am Gerry from Miami: BOB, looked it up and found out about Jan Berry's terrible car accident. Head injuries and a coma, but, thank God, he did recover!
	11:38am SecretSquirrel: So cool to hear the Magic Band on its own
	11:38am WR: ↳ Song: "Doctor Dark" by "The Magic Band [minus Captain Be... thank you! feeling better after hearing that.
	11:38am Bob Brainen: SecretSquirrel!
	11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Ahhh! Know Neil's version, like the Crazy Horse version (similar to Neil's).
	11:39am Gerry from Miami: Never knew there were Captain Beefheart tracks without the vocals out there. Very revealing musicianship. Those guys were fantastic! Saw the whole group on the "Ice Cream for Crow" tour at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. Tom Waits was sitting right behind me. Reportedly a huge fan of the Captain.
	11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ WR @11:38 What WR said; that's a great Music-minus-one track!
	11:40am Jeff: Man, that first Crazy Horse album was killer! It’s one of my favorite records and was so hard to find back in the ‘70s.
	11:40am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Funny this. My sister started college in the summer of 1971. One day she brought home Lick My Decals Off and the first Ry Cooder album from the school library. At that time, Lick My Decals Off had a lyric sheet. Let's just say it blew my fifteen year old brains out.
	11:42am Yes: Hello friends
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Yes!
	11:43am Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. Coincidentally, Ry Cooder played on the first Beefheart/Magic Band LP, "Safe as Milk."
	🥁 11:44am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Whenever I listen to the first Crazy Horse album images of Spahn's Movie Ranch come to mind. Don't know why.
	11:44am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Forget The Song" by "Beachwood Sparks" Oh man, I saw The Beachwood Sparks playing in the middle off Sunset Blvd on a Saturday afternoon in Summer, long long ago.
	11:47am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kokomo, IN" by "Japanese Breakfast" Saw this group at the Solid Sounds Festival-had no idea of who they were. Texted older daughter RebeccaJazz that they were on, she freaked out, "Wow, Dad, SOOOO Cool!!!" I had no idea (they did a nice set)
	11:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:39 i believe there are tracks w/o vocals on the "i may be hungry but i sure ain't weird" cd
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Thanks, tom tom!!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son! And more on Grow Fins mega box set.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:43 I know. Also, long ago I was working on a Got Milk commercial. The prop master asked me to get something from his van, He had the doors open and was blasting A Meeting By The River by Ry Cooder and Vishwan Bhat. I had seen both Ry and Bhat, so I knew the material well. Bill, the prop master told me he use to be Ry's road manager. I asked him how that happened. He told me he was Captain Beefheart's road manager before that... Long story, and I have to leave!
	11:56am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Jahbero" by "Tadd Dameron Septet [w/ Fats Navarro]" Not enough bongos in jazz anymore, I always say.
	11:58am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! Checking in. I've always heard Neil Young's original of Downtown. I don't remember Crazy Horse version.
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "See You Later" by "Frank Carlsberg Trio" cool Monk tribite!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:01 You would like this album.
	12:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:01 the trouble with tribites... ;)
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:03 ;- )
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:02 Sounded like I would, will look into it
	12:07pm Dean: Saw Young Marble Giants in LA. Monitor opened for them, and they opened for Cabaret Voltaire.
	12:07pm YMG: ↳ Song: "Choci Loni" by "Young Marble Giants" a then-boyfriend introduced me to this...on cassette...
	12:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:05 Already found it... 577records.bandcamp.com...
	12:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:07 It's in my cart,,,
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: YMG, nice!
	12:10pm dan: Whenever I think of Sonny Terry, I think of the last scene in Herzog’s Strozsek with the dancing chicken
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Dean! Lucky you, wish I saw them, they played Maxwells among other venues.
	12:11pm adamdoesit: Hello Bob and brains! Bob, I streamed Ben Goldberg's Orphic Machine after you played a cut off it last week. Intriguing stuff, really dug it. Thanks for the intro.
	12:12pm Dean: Goldberg will play a house concert in the 'hood a week from today.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @12:11 Glad to hear it. The more of his stuff I hear the more I dig it.
	12:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:12 Oooo, he's on my "must see" list, enjoy!
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:12 I would go!
	12:14pm Soule: Good morning, Bob and Brainers!
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Soule!
	12:15pm Soule: Hi, Andrew in Toronto!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:14 Me too (but the airfair negates the low cost of the House Concert...)
	12:17pm dan: Strawbs have officially retired as of last week. They performed their farewell show at Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Fest
	12:18pm Dean: In fact, @doctorjazz, I likely won't make it to the Goldberg show, alas. But a friend just alerted me to a show in Sept. by trumpet player Sarah Wilson, whose ensemble includes one of the artists performing with Goldberg. Might get to that one.
	12:20pm Dean: I've heard Tyshawn Sorey with Roscoe Mitchell at the house where Goldberg will perform.
	12:20pm Eugene Bentley: Bob are you sure you don't want to play the RykoDisc version of the Strawbs track? .........JK
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @12:20 Just got a "complete" 2 CD set that I didn't know existed before stumbling on a reference to it recently.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:18 Not familiar with Wilson, but sounds worth checking out. Just got to see Bill Frisell at the Village Vanguard Thursday night with an odd quintet (2 bass, 2 drummers, one doubling vibes), was not what I expected from Frisell, on the "out" side of things, but it was a great show!
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @12:14 Hi there Soule!
	12:25pm Eugene Bentley: super! I've been on the lookout for a release that wasn't messed with.
	12:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:20 That's a cool show! (have to find house concerts in the NY/NJ area...have caught a few cool library concerts here in Central Joisey, who'da thunk?)
	12:26pm Dean: The fellow who owns the house is really committed to featuring these artists. He curated the first Open Minds series in SF after COVID, an amazing line-up.
	12:32pm tom tom the pipers son: abby lincoln's voice... savory not sweet? ;)
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:32 Took a bit for me to get used to, acqquired taste...
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:33 oh...
	12:37pm YMG: ↳ doctorjazz @12:33 tangy - voix bulgare - like the yogurt
	12:37pm tom tom the pipers son: am diggin the slightly dissonant delivery from a. l.
	12:39pm sydnius: or? (good morn Bob!)
	12:40pm Eugene Bentley: Electric Prunes!
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: ↳ sydnius @12:39 sydnius!
	12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ko Ko" by "Charlie Parker's Reboppers" Bird Lives!!! (Stanley Crouch's bio, Kansas City Lightning: The Rise and Times of Charlie Parker is a good read)
	12:48pm doctorjazz: Gotta head out in a bit, thanks for the fine sounds, Bob!
	🥁 12:56pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob 'n all.
	12:57pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK!
	12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:56 Hello Brian!
	12:58pm YMG: ↳ Song: "Aviatrix" by "Clubmen 3" Ya got me with another tangential old dating-related memory on this one Mr. Brainen. My cool older friend in high school was dating an older hairdresser guy who decided it would be fun to shave my head (punk scene and all...) he was a huge XTC fan, they were not well known yet
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: ↳ YMG @12:58 Yikes! Any pictures of the era?
	1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Queer Notions" by "Fletcher Henderson and His Orc... Way ahead of its time harmonically...(haven't left yet...)
	1:01pm YMG: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:01 Absolutely not! ;)
	1:02pm YMG: Pre-cellphones, thank God!
	1:03pm dan: Badfinger need their own rock biopic. What a Shakespearean tragedy that band’s history had.
	1:18pm sydnius: 🫡🌲💨😶‍🌫️
	🥁 1:20pm Brian in UK: Bob, keep it organic!
	🥁 1:24pm Brian in UK: Oh great some Steeleye Span, man.
	1:27pm Dean: "Dallas Alice," "Willin'," Little Feat
	1:27pm dan: Had Jim Hodder remained as a lead singer, Steely Dan would have been more West Coast oriented.
	1:31pm sydnius: ↳ dan @1:27 ✅
	1:35pm Gerry from Miami: The early Steely Dan had two fine vocalists aside from Donald Fagen, I see. Jim Hodder does a great job on "Dallas," don't you think? And David Palmer sang a couple of excellent tunes on the band's debut album. "Dirty Work" was a showstopper.
	1:35pm Eugene Bentley: My big gripe about the Dan, is that as many times their music has been compiled, repackaged, remastered and boxed, that they never include those 2 tracks and Gully Water.
	1:36pm sydnius: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:35 many of us have shame about formative work; it’s a shame in itself
	1:39pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:35 Totally agree! Musicians should not have last say with their box sets, IMNHO.
	1:39pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ sydnius @1:36 Steely Dan are too proud.
	1:40pm sydnius: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:39 house proud town mouse 🐭
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: @Eugene If final approval was required from either Fagen or Becker(or both) over the years, their insistence on perfection and state-of-the-art audio quality might have stopped these tunes from inclusion on any compilations.
	1:41pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:35 Agree, Hodder also sang Midnight Cruiser and Palmer also sang Brooklyn. They would have been greater with 3 lead singers trading off. But it was not to be....
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, And even Walter took the mic on occasion
	1:44pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:41 I think that's why their debut album holds such special place for me. An interesting aside , is that Palmer wrote the lyrics for Carole King's hit Jazzman.
	🥁 1:47pm Brian in UK: Tinariwen calls from two rooms away.
	1:51pm Gerry from Miami: Not too many records out there from bands centered in Mali in the Sahara. Sounds darn good to me.
	🥁 1:53pm listener 126464: Thanks much Bob, enjoyed today's show. And good Saturday afternoon!
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: That was another incredible show! Thanks Bob!
	1:55pm Soule: Great show, great comments. Thanks!
	1:56pm ¿: Thx Bob!
	1:57pm Eugene Bentley: Love the show, Bob.
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm Brian in UK: Nice work Bob. whatever happened to my copy of Crazy Horse. Timeless.
	1:58pm Dean: Crazy Horse should have recorded a song called "Osmond."
	1:59pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	2:01pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Dean @1:58 Funny! Istarted out buying Osmonds records.t
	2:02pm Listener Robert: I came in late. Can anyone explain what this code word business is?
	2:03pm WR: Thank you, Bob!
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Thank You Always DJ BobBrainen ~

	11:11am dan: Jethro Toe, a one hit wonder
	11:11am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:11am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:12am Jeff: Bob, I love all these female fronted soft(ish) rock/pop groups you play - Sundays, Mazzy Starr, Beths, etc!
	11:12am Bob Brainen: dan!
	11:16am Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @11:12 Thanks, but Beths can really rock out, no?
	11:17am doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @11:12 Don't know Mazzy Star (the name, yes, but not the music), but don't think of The Beths as soft(ish) rock/pop, more of a Power-Pop or Punk-Pop(or some other rediculous hyphenated classification)
	11:18am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Story" by "The Beckies" cool track! Don't know them (my older daughter, RebeccaJazz, used to be called Beckles by some friends)
	11:19am Jeff: Yes - I saw them on a livestream within the last year. Possibly, from Mountain Stage? They were great? And, it’s hard to beat that New Zealand/Aussie accent when they speak.
	11:20am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Bob and all other listeners!
	11:21am Gina Bacon: Morning, Andrew!
	11:22am Gerry from Miami: Jan and no Dean? Which one had the accident(or was it an illness?).I can definitely hear Hal Blaine on those drums here.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto!
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Jan had the horrible crash.
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:17 Hi doc!
	11:25am SecretSquirrel: Good morning, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @10:37 Hello TDK60!
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @11:01 Hi crestikins!
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:25 Hello Andrew!
	11:26am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:10 Morning Gina!
	11:26am dan: Pentangling sounds like it should be a dance craze on TikTok
	11:26am SecretSquirrel: Adore the first Pentangle album. It’s pretty much perfect.
	🥁 11:27am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Pentangling" by "Pentangle" A great debut.
	🥁 11:29am chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	11:30am Gerry from Miami: BOB, looked it up and found out about Jan Berry's terrible car accident. Head injuries and a coma, but, thank God, he did recover!
	11:38am SecretSquirrel: So cool to hear the Magic Band on its own
	11:38am WR: ↳ Song: "Doctor Dark" by "The Magic Band [minus Captain Be... thank you! feeling better after hearing that.
	11:38am Bob Brainen: SecretSquirrel!
	11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Ahhh! Know Neil's version, like the Crazy Horse version (similar to Neil's).
	11:39am Gerry from Miami: Never knew there were Captain Beefheart tracks without the vocals out there. Very revealing musicianship. Those guys were fantastic! Saw the whole group on the "Ice Cream for Crow" tour at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. Tom Waits was sitting right behind me. Reportedly a huge fan of the Captain.
	11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ WR @11:38 What WR said; that's a great Music-minus-one track!
	11:40am Jeff: Man, that first Crazy Horse album was killer! It’s one of my favorite records and was so hard to find back in the ‘70s.
	11:40am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Funny this. My sister started college in the summer of 1971. One day she brought home Lick My Decals Off and the first Ry Cooder album from the school library. At that time, Lick My Decals Off had a lyric sheet. Let's just say it blew my fifteen year old brains out.
	11:42am Yes: Hello friends
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Yes!
	11:43am Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. Coincidentally, Ry Cooder played on the first Beefheart/Magic Band LP, "Safe as Milk."
	🥁 11:44am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Downtown" by "Crazy Horse" Whenever I listen to the first Crazy Horse album images of Spahn's Movie Ranch come to mind. Don't know why.
	11:44am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Forget The Song" by "Beachwood Sparks" Oh man, I saw The Beachwood Sparks playing in the middle off Sunset Blvd on a Saturday afternoon in Summer, long long ago.
	11:47am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kokomo, IN" by "Japanese Breakfast" Saw this group at the Solid Sounds Festival-had no idea of who they were. Texted older daughter RebeccaJazz that they were on, she freaked out, "Wow, Dad, SOOOO Cool!!!" I had no idea (they did a nice set)
	11:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:39 i believe there are tracks w/o vocals on the "i may be hungry but i sure ain't weird" cd
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Thanks, tom tom!!
	11:53am Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son! And more on Grow Fins mega box set.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:43 I know. Also, long ago I was working on a Got Milk commercial. The prop master asked me to get something from his van, He had the doors open and was blasting A Meeting By The River by Ry Cooder and Vishwan Bhat. I had seen both Ry and Bhat, so I knew the material well. Bill, the prop master told me he use to be Ry's road manager. I asked him how that happened. He told me he was Captain Beefheart's road manager before that... Long story, and I have to leave!
	11:56am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Jahbero" by "Tadd Dameron Septet [w/ Fats Navarro]" Not enough bongos in jazz anymore, I always say.
	11:58am Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob! Checking in. I've always heard Neil Young's original of Downtown. I don't remember Crazy Horse version.
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "See You Later" by "Frank Carlsberg Trio" cool Monk tribite!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:01 You would like this album.
	12:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:01 the trouble with tribites... ;)
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:03 ;- )
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:02 Sounded like I would, will look into it
	12:07pm Dean: Saw Young Marble Giants in LA. Monitor opened for them, and they opened for Cabaret Voltaire.
	12:07pm YMG: ↳ Song: "Choci Loni" by "Young Marble Giants" a then-boyfriend introduced me to this...on cassette...
	12:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:05 Already found it... 577records.bandcamp.com...
	12:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:07 It's in my cart,,,
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: YMG, nice!
	12:10pm dan: Whenever I think of Sonny Terry, I think of the last scene in Herzog’s Strozsek with the dancing chicken
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: Dean! Lucky you, wish I saw them, they played Maxwells among other venues.
	12:11pm adamdoesit: Hello Bob and brains! Bob, I streamed Ben Goldberg's Orphic Machine after you played a cut off it last week. Intriguing stuff, really dug it. Thanks for the intro.
	12:12pm Dean: Goldberg will play a house concert in the 'hood a week from today.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @12:11 Glad to hear it. The more of his stuff I hear the more I dig it.
	12:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:12 Oooo, he's on my "must see" list, enjoy!
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:12 I would go!
	12:14pm Soule: Good morning, Bob and Brainers!
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Soule!
	12:15pm Soule: Hi, Andrew in Toronto!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:14 Me too (but the airfair negates the low cost of the House Concert...)
	12:17pm dan: Strawbs have officially retired as of last week. They performed their farewell show at Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Fest
	12:18pm Dean: In fact, @doctorjazz, I likely won't make it to the Goldberg show, alas. But a friend just alerted me to a show in Sept. by trumpet player Sarah Wilson, whose ensemble includes one of the artists performing with Goldberg. Might get to that one.
	12:20pm Dean: I've heard Tyshawn Sorey with Roscoe Mitchell at the house where Goldberg will perform.
	12:20pm Eugene Bentley: Bob are you sure you don't want to play the RykoDisc version of the Strawbs track? .........JK
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @12:20 Just got a "complete" 2 CD set that I didn't know existed before stumbling on a reference to it recently.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:18 Not familiar with Wilson, but sounds worth checking out. Just got to see Bill Frisell at the Village Vanguard Thursday night with an odd quintet (2 bass, 2 drummers, one doubling vibes), was not what I expected from Frisell, on the "out" side of things, but it was a great show!
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @12:14 Hi there Soule!
	12:25pm Eugene Bentley: super! I've been on the lookout for a release that wasn't messed with.
	12:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:20 That's a cool show! (have to find house concerts in the NY/NJ area...have caught a few cool library concerts here in Central Joisey, who'da thunk?)
	12:26pm Dean: The fellow who owns the house is really committed to featuring these artists. He curated the first Open Minds series in SF after COVID, an amazing line-up.
	12:32pm tom tom the pipers son: abby lincoln's voice... savory not sweet? ;)
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:32 Took a bit for me to get used to, acqquired taste...
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:33 oh...
	12:37pm YMG: ↳ doctorjazz @12:33 tangy - voix bulgare - like the yogurt
	12:37pm tom tom the pipers son: am diggin the slightly dissonant delivery from a. l.
	12:39pm sydnius: or? (good morn Bob!)
	12:40pm Eugene Bentley: Electric Prunes!
	12:46pm Bob Brainen: ↳ sydnius @12:39 sydnius!
	12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ko Ko" by "Charlie Parker's Reboppers" Bird Lives!!! (Stanley Crouch's bio, Kansas City Lightning: The Rise and Times of Charlie Parker is a good read)
	12:48pm doctorjazz: Gotta head out in a bit, thanks for the fine sounds, Bob!
	🥁 12:56pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob 'n all.
	12:57pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK!
	12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Brian in UK @12:56 Hello Brian!
	12:58pm YMG: ↳ Song: "Aviatrix" by "Clubmen 3" Ya got me with another tangential old dating-related memory on this one Mr. Brainen. My cool older friend in high school was dating an older hairdresser guy who decided it would be fun to shave my head (punk scene and all...) he was a huge XTC fan, they were not well known yet
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: ↳ YMG @12:58 Yikes! Any pictures of the era?
	1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Queer Notions" by "Fletcher Henderson and His Orc... Way ahead of its time harmonically...(haven't left yet...)
	1:01pm YMG: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:01 Absolutely not! ;)
	1:02pm YMG: Pre-cellphones, thank God!
	1:03pm dan: Badfinger need their own rock biopic. What a Shakespearean tragedy that band’s history had.
	1:18pm sydnius: 🫡🌲💨😶‍🌫️
	🥁 1:20pm Brian in UK: Bob, keep it organic!
	🥁 1:24pm Brian in UK: Oh great some Steeleye Span, man.
	1:27pm Dean: "Dallas Alice," "Willin'," Little Feat
	1:27pm dan: Had Jim Hodder remained as a lead singer, Steely Dan would have been more West Coast oriented.
	1:31pm sydnius: ↳ dan @1:27 ✅
	1:35pm Gerry from Miami: The early Steely Dan had two fine vocalists aside from Donald Fagen, I see. Jim Hodder does a great job on "Dallas," don't you think? And David Palmer sang a couple of excellent tunes on the band's debut album. "Dirty Work" was a showstopper.
	1:35pm Eugene Bentley: My big gripe about the Dan, is that as many times their music has been compiled, repackaged, remastered and boxed, that they never include those 2 tracks and Gully Water.
	1:36pm sydnius: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:35 many of us have shame about formative work; it’s a shame in itself
	1:39pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:35 Totally agree! Musicians should not have last say with their box sets, IMNHO.
	1:39pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ sydnius @1:36 Steely Dan are too proud.
	1:40pm sydnius: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:39 house proud town mouse 🐭
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: @Eugene If final approval was required from either Fagen or Becker(or both) over the years, their insistence on perfection and state-of-the-art audio quality might have stopped these tunes from inclusion on any compilations.
	1:41pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:35 Agree, Hodder also sang Midnight Cruiser and Palmer also sang Brooklyn. They would have been greater with 3 lead singers trading off. But it was not to be....
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, And even Walter took the mic on occasion
	1:44pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:41 I think that's why their debut album holds such special place for me. An interesting aside , is that Palmer wrote the lyrics for Carole King's hit Jazzman.
	🥁 1:47pm Brian in UK: Tinariwen calls from two rooms away.
	1:51pm Gerry from Miami: Not too many records out there from bands centered in Mali in the Sahara. Sounds darn good to me.
	🥁 1:53pm listener 126464: Thanks much Bob, enjoyed today's show. And good Saturday afternoon!
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: That was another incredible show! Thanks Bob!
	1:55pm Soule: Great show, great comments. Thanks!
	1:56pm ¿: Thx Bob!
	1:57pm Eugene Bentley: Love the show, Bob.
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm Brian in UK: Nice work Bob. whatever happened to my copy of Crazy Horse. Timeless.
	1:58pm Dean: Crazy Horse should have recorded a song called "Osmond."
	1:59pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	2:01pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Dean @1:58 Funny! Istarted out buying Osmonds records.t
	2:02pm Listener Robert: I came in late. Can anyone explain what this code word business is?
	2:03pm WR: Thank you, Bob!
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Thank You Always DJ BobBrainen ~
