	🥁 ♥ 11:15am (Mr) Bill: Happy day between Flag Day and Bloomsday to all.
	♥ 11:15am adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 I caught one of those David Murray shows, too. It was my first. I felt I could hear the whole history of jazz when he played: African drums, marches and polyphony, swing, bop, the avant garde… all there, all alive. It blew me away.
	♥ 11:15am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:12 Morning, Gina!
	♥ 11:16am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:15 Morning, Andrew!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @11:15 That sounds awesome!
	11:19am Dean: Murray played a house in North Berkeley last night with Kahil El'Zabar. I didn't make it.

	♥ 11:28am tom tom the pipers son: good morning bob and listeners good morning doug
	11:28am SecretSquirrel: Yer in a swinging’ mood this morning, Bob! I’m digging the crazy sounds
	♥ 11:31am Gina Bacon: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 Morning, Doug!
	11:35am Bob Brainen: Hey tom tom the pipers son
	♥ 11:41am tom tom the pipers son: i guess in the 20's, ragtime in the not too distant past, rhythm was handled by many instruments, like banjo and piano that the drums came in sparingly
	♥ 11:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:41 didn't hear the drums much in those two tracks
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 Hi Doug-hard day yesterday, so sorry...
	11:45am Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:41 That and the fact that the technology didn't allow for a full drum set to be used and recorded. It would take a bit for that capability to exist, which is why i love this Baby Dodds album so much!
	♥ 11:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:45 u huh....i heard him there at the end though
	11:48am Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:46 Yes in 1946, but I'm talking the limitations of recording in the 20s.
	♥ 11:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:48 yes, i got that, thanks
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Ah Doug, I just caught on. So sorry for your loss!
	♥ 11:51am Sem: Bob! Thanks for the Sondheim.
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Hey Sem, my pleasure.
	♥ 11:52am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @11:51 Hiya, Sem!
	♥ 11:52am Sem: * Sondheim *
	♥ 11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Pretty Lady" by "Stephen Sondheim" liked that though i am not into theater music
	♥ 11:53am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:52 Good afternoon, almost, Andrew.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Pretty Lady" by "Stephen Sondheim" Gorgeous. I saw “Merrily We Roll Along” on Wednesday. If, like yours truly, you don’t know the show well, try to make it a lived experience by the time it closes on July 7.
	♥ 12:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:53 Thanks for the prompt, (Mr) Bill.
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Steeleye Span took took more than a little of the vocal sound of The Watersons.
	12:04pm Dean: We have Ralph Vaughan Williams to thank for collecting one instance of the song that became "Holmfirth Anthem." I don't know whether he arranged his own setting.
	♥ 12:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:01 a woman (matriarch?) from the watersons died in the recent past ...couple yrs ago...(?)
	12:04pm gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	♥ 12:10pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:01 Maddy Prior was my first musical crush. A crush that endures.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gene Sculatti
	12:13pm Dean: Is Happy Posterior the opposite of Maddy Prior?
	♥ 12:13pm Sem: Love the Fairport.
	♥ 12:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know Where I Stand" by "Fairport Convention" A favorite song
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:10 Interesting. I'd have to think about who my first was...hmmm...
	♥ 12:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:04 yes norma waterson age 82 died in '22
	♥ 12:18pm tom tom the pipers son: someone commented the other day on ian mcdonald....crimson---->faust----->foreigner----> oooof
	🥁 ♥ 12:21pm PAULS: Ian was a bar mate of mine in the mid aughts! He and I frequented the same local in midtown, raised many a glass with him. Great guy. Good morning everyone
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Hey PAULS, very cool.
	♥ 12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @12:21 Hi, PAUlS!

	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:25 hey andrew!
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Chelsea Morning" by "Fairport Convention" They look so young!
	12:29pm Bob Brainen: ↳ chresti @12:27 They were! I think all teenagers except 1.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: pictured L to R: Peter Giles, Michael Giles, Judy Dyble, Ian McDonald, Robert Fripp
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:14 My first musical crush may have been the woman licking her finger on the cover of “Whipped Cream and Other Delights.” Not very musical, I know. I was all of 10 years old.
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: Aha, just remembered, that the middle eight of "Passages of Time" would be recycled for King Crimson's "Peace" from the Poseidon album. Everyone borrows from themselves. Sometimes from others.
	12:38pm zumzar: Hi Bob, it is always a privilege to listen your show, one of my WFMU favorites. Not very often I can hear a DJ with the knowledge of music that you have. Just keep doing the great work you do. Thank you and don’t let this spoil you 😺.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Hi zumzar, thank you. I'm blushing.
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Doug Schulkind. My first FEMALE music crush was Lesley Gore, then Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick and, of course, Joni. Male music crushes have included the Everly Brothers, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello and Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops.
	♥ 12:44pm James Douglas: Greetings Bob from Mhoon Landing MS on the big river! Great tunes to go with a rural road trip. Memphis before you’re done today!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: L to R: Martin Lamble, Simon Nichol, Judy Dyble, Richard Thompson, Ian Matthews, Ashley Hutchings.
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami, you ok down there?
	12:50pm Dean: I saw Pete Sears at the venue behind my house with his band Moon Alice. Sears was on Rod Stewart's remarkable Every Picture Tells a Story.
	12:50pm Dean: (I assume, without knowing for sure, that the name Moon Alice alludes to The Honeymooners.)
	12:51pm Gerry from Miami: Good Afternoon, BOB! Really digging these DYBLE/FAIRPORT tunes. JACKIE McSHEA and PENTANGLE are listening to this show inside my head.
	♥ 12:53pm chresti: ↳ Dean @12:50 To the moon, Alice!
	12:53pm Dean: Exactly, chresti.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Hey James Douglas, wow, on the mighty 'Missis-sip.'
	♥ 12:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Both Sides Now [demo]" by "Fairport Convention" interestingly uptempo
	1:00pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, BOB. Thanks for asking! The rains have been intense, but my part of Miami/Dade County was spared of any scary flooding. But the forecasts predict even more wet stuff over the next week. I am just happy that the hurricane-strength winds have stayed away(SO FAR!).
	🥁 ♥ 1:01pm doctorjazz: Had to run, will need to catch up with the Archived show! This is lovely!
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:00 So far so good. We're expecting a heat wave up here. Oh well.
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Dreamtime" by "Judy Dyble" Loverly. One of those songs for which I can’t answer the vexing question, “3/4 or 6/8?” They are legion.
	♥ 1:06pm chresti: Upper 80s forecast for today, in San Gabriel, CA
	1:09pm Dean: I have an issue with Fripp's choice of vocalists, particularly in King Crimson, whose big box The Road to Red I just acquired. Wetton is way too high in most of the mixes, and his delivery upstages the shows so often, all blustery and show-offy. Judy Dyble is a refreshing exception to my rule.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, south Florida is almost a 365-days a year heatwave! But I've been to Phoenix and will take Florida any day!
	1:13pm Gerry from Miami: Anything by folkie Eric Andersen is always welcome, Bob.
	1:14pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:13 Probably Eric Anderson's best song. I'm particularly fond of the Blues Project version.
	1:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey Frank Zaatar, that's a fine version too.
	1:17pm Gerry from Miami: Before I forget, a most HAPPY FATHERS' DAY to all the dads in Bob's audience today!
	1:21pm SmokinJ: A bit of magic! Mornin' bb & all! 8-)
	1:23pm Gerry from Miami: I really like that Earth is Sleeping" number. Is that really a male voice duetting with Judy?
	1:24pm Bob Brainen: Hey SmokinJ
	♥ 1:24pm James Douglas: Who influenced who? Judy dible or Annie Haslam?
	1:28pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:17 Dare we hope for a special on the Kalb/Kooper/Katz Konstellation sometime soon?
	1:30pm Dean: "Is it live or is it...?"
	1:30pm Gerry from Miami: @James Douglas. WOW! Hadn't thought of ANNIE HASLAM in a very long time. Saw her with RENAISSANCE in a stunning show at Cornell University in the fall of 1977. They had installed a giant mirror ball in the ceiling. Great memory! Also caught Talking Heads in a tiny club there in Ithaca, NY, that semester. Just starting out, those guys.
	1:33pm Dean: Wikipedia claims without a citation that Dyble went on to become a librarian. I wonder where/when/how.
	1:38pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:30 Ithaca in 1977! Gerry, did you follow The Zobo Funn Band?
	1:41pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. No, were they a local band on the make? I was in an immersive Ph.D. program and had very little time to check out the scene in Ithaca, unfortunately. Whatever happened to that band?
	1:43pm Dean: Saw Renaissance in '77 or '78 at LA's Greek Theater. Opening act was Jean-Luc Ponty.
	1:49pm Gerry from Miami: RENAISSANCE and PONTY on a double bill! Lucky you! I was fortunate enough to see JEAN-LUC a couple of times, once at a cool seaside-adjacent club called the GOLDEN BEAR in Huntington Beach, CA.
	1:51pm Dean: I was just checking Ponty's touring schedule, where I saw a string of Golden Bear shows. That would have been spectacular! He also played at Berkeley's Greek Theater.
	1:52pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:41 The Zobo Funn Band were a very innovative Jazz/rock band who had a cult following in Ithaca in the 70s (I guess today they would be unfairly be called a "jam band"). They featured Jeremy Werbel, a very prolific songwriter and vocalist, and lead guitarist David Torn, who is now one of the finest jazz guitarists. They put out one poorly recorded studio album but they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
	♥ 1:53pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Mr. Jelly Roll.
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: That JELLY ROLL MORTON piece was awesome. Such an articulate musician!
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Bob, for another high-level seminar in music history!
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm Soule: Thank you, Bob! Beautiful show!
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:56 What he said.
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm listener 126464: Hey, Bob, been listening. Thanks for a great show!
	1:57pm Dean: Found a review of a Zobo Funn Band show in Variety, late '75. Happy to forward it to you, Frank, but I'll need an email address. If you want it, email me at deanrowan@duck.com.
	1:59pm Dean: Show was at CBGB.
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm PAULS: thanks bob!
	2:00pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Dean @1:57 Thanks, Dean. Wow, CBGB--I guess that's when they did feature Country, Bluegrass, and Blues.
	♥ 2:04pm WR: Great episode, Bob, thank you. Enjoyed the Judy Dibyle hour. The JRM piece was interesting but a bit painful to me. Morton extending himself to try to please this pushy young government researcher. All good. Again, many thanks.
	♥ 5:55pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm doctorjazz: Hey Bob, missed most of the show Saturday, just caught up, loved it, thanks!

	🥁 ♥ 11:11am doctorjazz: ↳ SecretSquirrel @11:08 According to Discogs, this one was originally on Moers... www.discogs.com...
	11:11am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood, morning
	♥ 11:12am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & all!
	11:13am Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @11:11 Oh, there's more albums than I was aware of. That's good news.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Hi Gina Bacon.
	♥ 11:15am ∫ydniuß: ‘morn Bob! Judy is up there with Sonja and Jacqui all my favorite singers have such interesting names
	🥁 ♥ 11:15am (Mr) Bill: Happy day between Flag Day and Bloomsday to all.
	♥ 11:15am adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @11:07 I caught one of those David Murray shows, too. It was my first. I felt I could hear the whole history of jazz when he played: African drums, marches and polyphony, swing, bop, the avant garde… all there, all alive. It blew me away.
	♥ 11:15am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @11:12 Morning, Gina!
	♥ 11:16am Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:15 Morning, Andrew!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @11:15 That sounds awesome!
	11:19am Dean: Murray played a house in North Berkeley last night with Kahil El'Zabar. I didn't make it.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @11:19 Hey Dean
	♥ 11:22am Doug Schulkind: G'morning.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 Glad to see you here this morning, Doug.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: G'morning to you, Doug.
	♥ 11:24am adamdoesit: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 I'm sorry for your loss, Doug. Thank for reminding me to treasure these foolish dogs while they're here.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Hey (MR) Bill
	11:26am Jeff: Good Morning Bob + fellow listeners
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Good morning Jeff
	♥ 11:28am tom tom the pipers son: good morning bob and listeners good morning doug
	11:28am SecretSquirrel: Yer in a swinging’ mood this morning, Bob! I’m digging the crazy sounds
	♥ 11:31am Gina Bacon: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 Morning, Doug!
	11:35am Bob Brainen: Hey tom tom the pipers son
	♥ 11:41am tom tom the pipers son: i guess in the 20's, ragtime in the not too distant past, rhythm was handled by many instruments, like banjo and piano that the drums came in sparingly
	♥ 11:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:41 didn't hear the drums much in those two tracks
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:22 Hi Doug-hard day yesterday, so sorry...
	11:45am Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:41 That and the fact that the technology didn't allow for a full drum set to be used and recorded. It would take a bit for that capability to exist, which is why i love this Baby Dodds album so much!
	♥ 11:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:45 u huh....i heard him there at the end though
	11:48am Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:46 Yes in 1946, but I'm talking the limitations of recording in the 20s.
	♥ 11:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:48 yes, i got that, thanks
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Ah Doug, I just caught on. So sorry for your loss!
	♥ 11:51am Sem: Bob! Thanks for the Sondheim.
	11:52am Bob Brainen: Hey Sem, my pleasure.
	♥ 11:52am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @11:51 Hiya, Sem!
	♥ 11:52am Sem: * Sondheim *
	♥ 11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Pretty Lady" by "Stephen Sondheim" liked that though i am not into theater music
	♥ 11:53am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:52 Good afternoon, almost, Andrew.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Pretty Lady" by "Stephen Sondheim" Gorgeous. I saw “Merrily We Roll Along” on Wednesday. If, like yours truly, you don’t know the show well, try to make it a lived experience by the time it closes on July 7.
	♥ 12:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:53 Thanks for the prompt, (Mr) Bill.
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Steeleye Span took took more than a little of the vocal sound of The Watersons.
	12:04pm Dean: We have Ralph Vaughan Williams to thank for collecting one instance of the song that became "Holmfirth Anthem." I don't know whether he arranged his own setting.
	♥ 12:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:01 a woman (matriarch?) from the watersons died in the recent past ...couple yrs ago...(?)
	12:04pm gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	♥ 12:10pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:01 Maddy Prior was my first musical crush. A crush that endures.
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gene Sculatti
	12:13pm Dean: Is Happy Posterior the opposite of Maddy Prior?
	♥ 12:13pm Sem: Love the Fairport.
	♥ 12:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know Where I Stand" by "Fairport Convention" A favorite song
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:10 Interesting. I'd have to think about who my first was...hmmm...
	♥ 12:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:04 yes norma waterson age 82 died in '22
	♥ 12:18pm tom tom the pipers son: someone commented the other day on ian mcdonald....crimson---->faust----->foreigner----> oooof
	🥁 ♥ 12:21pm PAULS: Ian was a bar mate of mine in the mid aughts! He and I frequented the same local in midtown, raised many a glass with him. Great guy. Good morning everyone
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Hey PAULS, very cool.
	♥ 12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @12:21 Hi, PAUlS!
	♥ 12:25pm chresti: ↳ Dean @12:13 Happy After
	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:25 hey andrew!
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Chelsea Morning" by "Fairport Convention" They look so young!
	12:29pm Bob Brainen: ↳ chresti @12:27 They were! I think all teenagers except 1.
	12:31pm Bob Brainen: pictured L to R: Peter Giles, Michael Giles, Judy Dyble, Ian McDonald, Robert Fripp
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:14 My first musical crush may have been the woman licking her finger on the cover of “Whipped Cream and Other Delights.” Not very musical, I know. I was all of 10 years old.
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: Aha, just remembered, that the middle eight of "Passages of Time" would be recycled for King Crimson's "Peace" from the Poseidon album. Everyone borrows from themselves. Sometimes from others.
	12:38pm zumzar: Hi Bob, it is always a privilege to listen your show, one of my WFMU favorites. Not very often I can hear a DJ with the knowledge of music that you have. Just keep doing the great work you do. Thank you and don’t let this spoil you 😺.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Hi zumzar, thank you. I'm blushing.
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Doug Schulkind. My first FEMALE music crush was Lesley Gore, then Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick and, of course, Joni. Male music crushes have included the Everly Brothers, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello and Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops.
	♥ 12:44pm James Douglas: Greetings Bob from Mhoon Landing MS on the big river! Great tunes to go with a rural road trip. Memphis before you’re done today!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: L to R: Martin Lamble, Simon Nichol, Judy Dyble, Richard Thompson, Ian Matthews, Ashley Hutchings.
	12:45pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami, you ok down there?
	12:50pm Dean: I saw Pete Sears at the venue behind my house with his band Moon Alice. Sears was on Rod Stewart's remarkable Every Picture Tells a Story.
	12:50pm Dean: (I assume, without knowing for sure, that the name Moon Alice alludes to The Honeymooners.)
	12:51pm Gerry from Miami: Good Afternoon, BOB! Really digging these DYBLE/FAIRPORT tunes. JACKIE McSHEA and PENTANGLE are listening to this show inside my head.
	♥ 12:53pm chresti: ↳ Dean @12:50 To the moon, Alice!
	12:53pm Dean: Exactly, chresti.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Hey James Douglas, wow, on the mighty 'Missis-sip.'
	♥ 12:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Both Sides Now [demo]" by "Fairport Convention" interestingly uptempo
	1:00pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, BOB. Thanks for asking! The rains have been intense, but my part of Miami/Dade County was spared of any scary flooding. But the forecasts predict even more wet stuff over the next week. I am just happy that the hurricane-strength winds have stayed away(SO FAR!).
	🥁 ♥ 1:01pm doctorjazz: Had to run, will need to catch up with the Archived show! This is lovely!
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:00 So far so good. We're expecting a heat wave up here. Oh well.
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Dreamtime" by "Judy Dyble" Loverly. One of those songs for which I can’t answer the vexing question, “3/4 or 6/8?” They are legion.
	♥ 1:06pm chresti: Upper 80s forecast for today, in San Gabriel, CA
	1:09pm Dean: I have an issue with Fripp's choice of vocalists, particularly in King Crimson, whose big box The Road to Red I just acquired. Wetton is way too high in most of the mixes, and his delivery upstages the shows so often, all blustery and show-offy. Judy Dyble is a refreshing exception to my rule.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, south Florida is almost a 365-days a year heatwave! But I've been to Phoenix and will take Florida any day!
	1:13pm Gerry from Miami: Anything by folkie Eric Andersen is always welcome, Bob.
	1:14pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:13 Probably Eric Anderson's best song. I'm particularly fond of the Blues Project version.
	1:17pm Bob Brainen: Hey Frank Zaatar, that's a fine version too.
	1:17pm Gerry from Miami: Before I forget, a most HAPPY FATHERS' DAY to all the dads in Bob's audience today!
	1:21pm SmokinJ: A bit of magic! Mornin' bb & all! 8-)
	1:23pm Gerry from Miami: I really like that Earth is Sleeping" number. Is that really a male voice duetting with Judy?
	1:24pm Bob Brainen: Hey SmokinJ
	♥ 1:24pm James Douglas: Who influenced who? Judy dible or Annie Haslam?
	1:28pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:17 Dare we hope for a special on the Kalb/Kooper/Katz Konstellation sometime soon?
	1:30pm Dean: "Is it live or is it...?"
	1:30pm Gerry from Miami: @James Douglas. WOW! Hadn't thought of ANNIE HASLAM in a very long time. Saw her with RENAISSANCE in a stunning show at Cornell University in the fall of 1977. They had installed a giant mirror ball in the ceiling. Great memory! Also caught Talking Heads in a tiny club there in Ithaca, NY, that semester. Just starting out, those guys.
	1:33pm Dean: Wikipedia claims without a citation that Dyble went on to become a librarian. I wonder where/when/how.
	1:38pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:30 Ithaca in 1977! Gerry, did you follow The Zobo Funn Band?
	1:41pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. No, were they a local band on the make? I was in an immersive Ph.D. program and had very little time to check out the scene in Ithaca, unfortunately. Whatever happened to that band?
	1:43pm Dean: Saw Renaissance in '77 or '78 at LA's Greek Theater. Opening act was Jean-Luc Ponty.
	1:49pm Gerry from Miami: RENAISSANCE and PONTY on a double bill! Lucky you! I was fortunate enough to see JEAN-LUC a couple of times, once at a cool seaside-adjacent club called the GOLDEN BEAR in Huntington Beach, CA.
	1:51pm Dean: I was just checking Ponty's touring schedule, where I saw a string of Golden Bear shows. That would have been spectacular! He also played at Berkeley's Greek Theater.
	1:52pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:41 The Zobo Funn Band were a very innovative Jazz/rock band who had a cult following in Ithaca in the 70s (I guess today they would be unfairly be called a "jam band"). They featured Jeremy Werbel, a very prolific songwriter and vocalist, and lead guitarist David Torn, who is now one of the finest jazz guitarists. They put out one poorly recorded studio album but they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
	♥ 1:53pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob. Thank you, Mr. Jelly Roll.
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: That JELLY ROLL MORTON piece was awesome. Such an articulate musician!
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Bob, for another high-level seminar in music history!
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm Soule: Thank you, Bob! Beautiful show!
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:56 What he said.
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm listener 126464: Hey, Bob, been listening. Thanks for a great show!
	1:57pm Dean: Found a review of a Zobo Funn Band show in Variety, late '75. Happy to forward it to you, Frank, but I'll need an email address. If you want it, email me at deanrowan@duck.com.
	1:59pm Dean: Show was at CBGB.
	🥁 ♥ 1:59pm PAULS: thanks bob!
	2:00pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Dean @1:57 Thanks, Dean. Wow, CBGB--I guess that's when they did feature Country, Bluegrass, and Blues.
	♥ 2:04pm WR: Great episode, Bob, thank you. Enjoyed the Judy Dibyle hour. The JRM piece was interesting but a bit painful to me. Morton extending himself to try to please this pushy young government researcher. All good. Again, many thanks.
	♥ 5:55pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm doctorjazz: Hey Bob, missed most of the show Saturday, just caught up, loved it, thanks!
