	11:04am Bob Brainen: Goood morning RobbieWhite from WOWD
	11:04am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto, morning

	11:16am Dean: I'm going to guess that "Stealers" refers to the fingers (pace Shakespeare). But "Wheel"? Used figuratively, it could mean a kind of dance, e.g., a reel. It's also slang, predominantly in the US, for "leg."
	11:17am gene sculatti: Top 'o the mornin,' Bob.
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Hey Dean, I never figured it out.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Top 'o the mornin', Gene
	11:18am doctorjazz: Quick internet search- The band is from Sheffield and its name is Steelers Wheel. Sheffield is famous for its steelmaking, especially its cutlery. A steeler's wheel is an abrasive wheel for polishing steel surfaces. Sadly a lot of Sheffield's heavy industry has been lost, but some of the history remains in place and venue names.Feb
	11:20am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @11:07 You might want to check out Kim Sorise1s show this afternoon from 5-7. wfmu.org...

	11:21am doctorjazz: Did we go back in time...
	11:22am Soule: Good morning, Bob and all brain cells!
	11:23am Jeff: Deja vu
	11:23am ∫ydniuß: ruh roh
	11:23am doctorjazz: Technical difficulties?
	11:23am Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @11:23 yes
	11:24am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Soule @11:22 Good morning, Soule!
	11:24am ∫ydniuß: is their nothing microsoft won’t break
	11:24am ∫ydniuß: oops THERE grammar is important, kids!
	11:24am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @11:21 Her show is incredible. It needs a different time slot.
	11:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:20 At least fifty years ago, I found Leadbelly's Last Sessions in the trash at the library. It's a Folkways Record. It has DISCARD stamped on the cover.
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Believe To My Soul" by "Ray Charles" Raaaaaaayyyyyy Chaaaaaarles!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Nice snag, Franco Twinkie
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:28 Hiya, Franco!
	11:30am Dean: Great interview with Bob here, featured on his playlists page: https://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/60h02.html Good discussion of Left Banke and others.
	11:34am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:24 Top of the morning, Andrew!
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Hey Soule
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Mongo Santamaria" First heard this be They Might Be Giants, love this (and ever version I've heard).
	11:40am Sem: Bob!
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Mongo Santamaria" Great bongos!
	11:42am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan" 😀😀😀😀😀
	11:42am Gerry from Miami: My intro to Mongo's "Yeh Yeh" was the hit vocal version by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames in 1965. First time hearing Lambert, Hendricks and Ross giving it the "vocalese" treatment.
	11:44am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami
	11:45am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @11:40 Morning, Sem!
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 Hi Andrew!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Sem!
	11:50am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:45 Hello, Andrew and a good day to you. Franco: belated birthday greets, man.
	11:51am Sem: Bob Wills!
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Gee, BOB, you actually had been planning to play GEORGIE FAME's version all along! Sorry for mistaking Ms. BAVAN as Ms. ROSS!
	🥁 11:57am chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:10 mMorning Andrew in TOkins!
	11:58am Gerry from Miami: By the way, my first encounter with Georgie Fame and his band, aside from radio airplay, was on the pop music TV show, HULLABALOO, which every week, in a special segment, presented acts from Great Britain hosted by, of all people, BEATLES manager BRIAN EPSTEIN! First saw the MOODY BLUES in one of these segments performing their first US hit, "Go Now."
	12:07pm mackeral: I'm enjoying the show, Bob
	12:07pm doctorjazz: Killer set!
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: Thanks mackeral
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Bob!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Howdy to you, Doug Schulkind!
	12:21pm Dean: Interview with Rafferty... Where did the name Stealers Wheel come from? That came about one night in a pub in Tunbridge Wells in the 70s. I like the word Wheel and its connotations, and there was an American guitarist called Roger Brown, who suggested Stealers. We liked the sound of it. https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/the-right-moments-gerry-rafferty
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:21 Nice find, Dean! It's as simple as that. I wonder if they played Roulette.
	12:27pm Dean: btw, mackeral up-thread there @12:07, has contributed to the Rafferty phenomenon (solo, not with Egan in SW), a mash-up of sorts from the days before mash-ups were relatively easy, a mix of "Baker Street" layered multiple times, spun at various speeds and using eccentric holes. It's a doozy.
	12:30pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:27 done with only love for the song, of course
	12:31pm Dean: I can't find the URL!
	12:32pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, I thought I heard you mention MARSHALL ALLEN of the SUN RA ARKESTRA during your run-down of the NRBQ cut you played. Mr. Marshall played many times with NRBQ over the years and, lo and behold, the "grand old man" turned 100 on May 25th!
	12:32pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:31 youtu.be...
	12:33pm mackeral: I had no idea about the NRBQ Sun Ra connection...
	12:34pm Dean: Thanks. Folks, spin that YouTube when the show is over.
	12:36pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Everyone's Agreed That Everything Will Turn Out F... hooray for the optimism 📣
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:32 Yes, he's sat in with NRBQ many times, and Terry Adams has sat in with Sun Ra's Archestra. Plus Marshall and Terry recorded an album together-that's what I played a track from last show.
	12:38pm Dean: As long as I'm revealing episodes in the life of mackeral, I'll add that he was a pall bearer at Sun Ra's funeral.
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Took the bait and went to listen to that "BAKER STREET" mash-up you posted. Interesting, but one listen will suffice for me. Meanwhile, back to the "real stuff."
	12:43pm Dean: Truly, I have to listen to it now and then, maybe a couple times a year, assuming I can find it.
	12:49pm ∫ydniuß: cranking in here too Bob!
	12:52pm adamdoesit: Hi Bob and bobsters! Handclaps, cowbell, and slide guitar, how could you go wrong?
	🥁 12:53pm PAULS: I got a FEver
	12:53pm Dean: Twenty-two years later, Sheryl Crow hit number two on the charts with "All I Wanna Do."
	12:55pm ∫ydniuß: 🤡🃏 nothing ever changes
	🥁 12:56pm PAULS: I always thought that last verse had a "Mama Told Me Not to Come" vibe.
	12:56pm Bob Brainen: Hey adamdoesit! A jam-packed little #.
	12:57pm Dean: On a tangent, would you consider devoting an hour to Bob Welch one of these weekends, Bob? Or Danny Kirwan? Or Amazing Blondel?
	12:58pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:53 good call. the vocal blending with Egan and Rafferty, is indeed something
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:57 Pete Tomlinson and I did a 3 hour show of FM's Kirwan era. Welch, I like some songs but not enough to do an hour.
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: we're in 6/8 here (Benediction)
	1:02pm Dean: I probably heard that Kirwan show, come to think of it.
	1:06pm Eugene Bentley: Bob, checking in with fellow Brainiacs.
	1:08pm Eugene Bentley: Star was the first Stealers Wheel record I bought.
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Eugene Bentley. Yeah "Star" has really grown on me.
	1:11pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:08 I was 13 and coming out of my Osmonds kick and exploring other artists. Funny, at first I thought Star was by Brewer and Shipley when I first heard it.
	1:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Who Cares" by "Stealers Wheel" Gerry resonating my speaker mounts
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:11 Lately I've heard some serious praise for their "Crazy Horses" album.
	1:20pm gabriel: this song rips!
	1:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:19 Crazy Horses is worth exploring, Bob.
	1:22pm ∫ydniuß: also a Steel Pulse
	1:28pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:21 I bought the 45 when it came out.
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: ↳ gabriel @1:20 Glad you liked, gabriel.
	1:37pm Yes: :)
	1:38pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, Yes
	1:39pm judy from croton: Magic sweetness Shelle, et al Thank you Bob
	1:40pm Bob Brainen: Hey, judy from croton
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob!
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 1:53pm listener 126464: Thanks for a great show today, Bob.
	1:58pm Soule: I loved the show today, Bob. Thanks.

	11:24am ∫ydniuß: is their nothing microsoft won’t break
	11:24am ∫ydniuß: oops THERE grammar is important, kids!
	11:24am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @11:21 Her show is incredible. It needs a different time slot.
	11:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:20 At least fifty years ago, I found Leadbelly's Last Sessions in the trash at the library. It's a Folkways Record. It has DISCARD stamped on the cover.
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Believe To My Soul" by "Ray Charles" Raaaaaaayyyyyy Chaaaaaarles!
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Nice snag, Franco Twinkie
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: Hi Bob!
	11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:28 Hiya, Franco!
	11:30am Dean: Great interview with Bob here, featured on his playlists page: https://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/60h02.html Good discussion of Left Banke and others.
	11:34am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:24 Top of the morning, Andrew!
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Hey Soule
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Mongo Santamaria" First heard this be They Might Be Giants, love this (and ever version I've heard).
	11:40am Sem: Bob!
	11:40am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Mongo Santamaria" Great bongos!
	11:42am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Yeh Yeh" by "Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan" 😀😀😀😀😀
	11:42am Gerry from Miami: My intro to Mongo's "Yeh Yeh" was the hit vocal version by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames in 1965. First time hearing Lambert, Hendricks and Ross giving it the "vocalese" treatment.
	11:44am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami
	11:45am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @11:40 Morning, Sem!
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 Hi Andrew!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Sem!
	11:50am Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:45 Hello, Andrew and a good day to you. Franco: belated birthday greets, man.
	11:51am Sem: Bob Wills!
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Gee, BOB, you actually had been planning to play GEORGIE FAME's version all along! Sorry for mistaking Ms. BAVAN as Ms. ROSS!
	🥁 11:57am chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:10 mMorning Andrew in TOkins!
	11:58am Gerry from Miami: By the way, my first encounter with Georgie Fame and his band, aside from radio airplay, was on the pop music TV show, HULLABALOO, which every week, in a special segment, presented acts from Great Britain hosted by, of all people, BEATLES manager BRIAN EPSTEIN! First saw the MOODY BLUES in one of these segments performing their first US hit, "Go Now."
	12:07pm mackeral: I'm enjoying the show, Bob
	12:07pm doctorjazz: Killer set!
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: Thanks mackeral
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Bob!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Howdy to you, Doug Schulkind!
	12:21pm Dean: Interview with Rafferty... Where did the name Stealers Wheel come from? That came about one night in a pub in Tunbridge Wells in the 70s. I like the word Wheel and its connotations, and there was an American guitarist called Roger Brown, who suggested Stealers. We liked the sound of it. https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/the-right-moments-gerry-rafferty
	12:26pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:21 Nice find, Dean! It's as simple as that. I wonder if they played Roulette.
	12:27pm Dean: btw, mackeral up-thread there @12:07, has contributed to the Rafferty phenomenon (solo, not with Egan in SW), a mash-up of sorts from the days before mash-ups were relatively easy, a mix of "Baker Street" layered multiple times, spun at various speeds and using eccentric holes. It's a doozy.
	12:30pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:27 done with only love for the song, of course
	12:31pm Dean: I can't find the URL!
	12:32pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, I thought I heard you mention MARSHALL ALLEN of the SUN RA ARKESTRA during your run-down of the NRBQ cut you played. Mr. Marshall played many times with NRBQ over the years and, lo and behold, the "grand old man" turned 100 on May 25th!
	12:32pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:31 youtu.be...
	12:33pm mackeral: I had no idea about the NRBQ Sun Ra connection...
	12:34pm Dean: Thanks. Folks, spin that YouTube when the show is over.
	12:36pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Everyone's Agreed That Everything Will Turn Out F... hooray for the optimism 📣
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:32 Yes, he's sat in with NRBQ many times, and Terry Adams has sat in with Sun Ra's Archestra. Plus Marshall and Terry recorded an album together-that's what I played a track from last show.
	12:38pm Dean: As long as I'm revealing episodes in the life of mackeral, I'll add that he was a pall bearer at Sun Ra's funeral.
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Took the bait and went to listen to that "BAKER STREET" mash-up you posted. Interesting, but one listen will suffice for me. Meanwhile, back to the "real stuff."
	12:43pm Dean: Truly, I have to listen to it now and then, maybe a couple times a year, assuming I can find it.
	12:49pm ∫ydniuß: cranking in here too Bob!
	12:52pm adamdoesit: Hi Bob and bobsters! Handclaps, cowbell, and slide guitar, how could you go wrong?
	🥁 12:53pm PAULS: I got a FEver
	12:53pm Dean: Twenty-two years later, Sheryl Crow hit number two on the charts with "All I Wanna Do."
	12:55pm ∫ydniuß: 🤡🃏 nothing ever changes
	🥁 12:56pm PAULS: I always thought that last verse had a "Mama Told Me Not to Come" vibe.
	12:56pm Bob Brainen: Hey adamdoesit! A jam-packed little #.
	12:57pm Dean: On a tangent, would you consider devoting an hour to Bob Welch one of these weekends, Bob? Or Danny Kirwan? Or Amazing Blondel?
	12:58pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @12:53 good call. the vocal blending with Egan and Rafferty, is indeed something
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:57 Pete Tomlinson and I did a 3 hour show of FM's Kirwan era. Welch, I like some songs but not enough to do an hour.
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: we're in 6/8 here (Benediction)
	1:02pm Dean: I probably heard that Kirwan show, come to think of it.
	1:06pm Eugene Bentley: Bob, checking in with fellow Brainiacs.
	1:08pm Eugene Bentley: Star was the first Stealers Wheel record I bought.
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Eugene Bentley. Yeah "Star" has really grown on me.
	1:11pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:08 I was 13 and coming out of my Osmonds kick and exploring other artists. Funny, at first I thought Star was by Brewer and Shipley when I first heard it.
	1:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Who Cares" by "Stealers Wheel" Gerry resonating my speaker mounts
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Eugene Bentley @1:11 Lately I've heard some serious praise for their "Crazy Horses" album.
	1:20pm gabriel: this song rips!
	1:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:19 Crazy Horses is worth exploring, Bob.
	1:22pm ∫ydniuß: also a Steel Pulse
	1:28pm Eugene Bentley: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:21 I bought the 45 when it came out.
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: ↳ gabriel @1:20 Glad you liked, gabriel.
	1:37pm Yes: :)
	1:38pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, Yes
	1:39pm judy from croton: Magic sweetness Shelle, et al Thank you Bob
	1:40pm Bob Brainen: Hey, judy from croton
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob!
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 1:53pm listener 126464: Thanks for a great show today, Bob.
	1:58pm Soule: I loved the show today, Bob. Thanks.
