	11:32am Dean: Consult the work of Peter Dronke for good background on Hildegard. Start with the liner notes he wrote for Sequentia's recordings of her work. Perhaps the pinnacle of early music performance right there.

	🥁 12:47pm Will thee SG OCNY: been diggin the tunes for sure
	12:48pm spodiodi: Greetings Bob and all ☀️
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: Greetings, spodiodi
	12:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Got Me Worried" by "Hattie Littles" Why didn't this get releaed? It's fabulous! Some pipes on Hattie!
	1:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shotgun" by "Jr. Walker and the All-Stars" This got released! (bit hit, great)!
	1:01pm Dean: Don Byron covers "Shotgun" on his album of Jr. Walker tunes. Good record.
	1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:01 Byron did lots of interesting thematic albums, have many of them (but not the Jr. Walker one).
	1:05pm Dean: I have a strong suspicion that the father of the guy who performed "Happy Ghoul Tide," Brice Armstrong, Jr., penned a piece in the NYT, June 9, 1946, "A Couple of Gringos in Old Mexico," in which Armstrong, Sr., reports that "Beer Barrel Polka" was ubiquitous on Mexican jukeboxes.
	1:06pm Dean: My favorite Byron album is probably Nu Blaxploitation, if only for the marvelous live appearance by Biz Markie. The Jr. Walker album is terrific top to bottom.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:06 Have that and a number of others, my fave (unsurprisingly) is his tribute to Mickey Katz...
	1:13pm Dean: Yeah, the Katz record is great, too. I think I saw Byron at LA's Skirball Center with Uri Caine. And was Jim Black drumming?
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Saw him a number of times, with the Mickey Katz Group, the Bug Music group, and some other times (at the original Knitting Factory, and other venues. Have a story I've told here about that Knit gig...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stop In The Name Of Love" by "Supremes" Becomming the HIT FACTORY...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stop In The Name Of Love" by "Supremes" I have to extend my hand, palm out, when I hear this (but be careful not to do an Elon saulte..>)
	1:19pm Michael 98145: Gotta join in - really enjoying this show again
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Michael 98145, glad to hear it!
	1:20pm Dean: Confirmed c/o LA Times, Caine played the Skirball Center in May 2000 with a group including Byron, Ralph Alessi, Michael Formanek, and vocalists. Not clear that there was a drummer. Caine's Mahler project.
	🥁 1:22pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Ooh Ooh Baby" by "Miracles" Peak Motown.
	1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:20 Saw Caine's Mahler group at the Knitting Factory, was great (the NY Times jazz critic at the time sat next to me,on the floor). Caine was also in Byron's Bug Music group.
	🥁 1:28pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 1:29pm PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:42 hey Andrew! (my first chance to comment)
	1:32pm Dean: According to David Yaffe, freelancing for NYT in Dec. '98, Caine did Mahler at the KF "last November" (so '97? or '98?) with Dave Douglas. And a story in Globe & Mail from July '98 confirms that Black drummed in the Mahler group.
	🥁 1:32pm chresti: Hi Bob and bobbers!
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Hi, chresti
	1:41pm Dean: Ernie Durham named "Rufus" by Merced Blue Notes a "pick to click" in the Dec. 9, 1961, Michigan Chronicle.
	1:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 bob... how do you feel about sweet and bitter from this bb collection?
	1:42pm Dean: "Rufus Jr." appeared on Durham's list for Sept. 11, 1965.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: There was a Knitting Factory Jazz winter jazz fest, don't remember what year (it was actually the 2nd KF address), Dave Douglas was there with the Tiny Bell Trio, Caine/Mahler, and many other players in 3 levels of stages.
	1:44pm doctorjazz: 31 degrees outside, gotta walk the pooches, will take the show along through my phone/headphones. Thanks Bob, great weekend all!
	1:45pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:42 not sure what you're referring to, tom tom. Refresh my memory.
	1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:45 there's a song "sweet and bitter" on sunflower collection, unreleased....quite good, imho...
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:47 I'll have to check it out.
	1:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:48 i was excited when i first heard it...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:54pm Dean: Speaking of Mahler, I finally found the review in Time magazine of Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans that I read on publication in late '74. It stuck with me for "Mahlerian": "Bright aural mosaics from small motifs are constructed on a Mahlerian scale in this 80-minute work of symphonic rock." That's the full review. I would have sworn it said, "Mahlerian proportions."
	1:55pm spodiodi: Thanks, Bob! Love your show.
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Want To Go Home" by "Fats Domino" excellent fats song...never heard, thanks...
	🥁 1:56pm Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Bob Brainen!!!
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Thank you, Bob.

	🥁 1:57pm wmfromd: Double shot o' Bop at the end. Thanks Bob!

	🥁 12:47pm Will thee SG OCNY: been diggin the tunes for sure
	12:48pm spodiodi: Greetings Bob and all ☀️
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: Greetings, spodiodi
	12:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Got Me Worried" by "Hattie Littles" Why didn't this get releaed? It's fabulous! Some pipes on Hattie!
	1:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shotgun" by "Jr. Walker and the All-Stars" This got released! (bit hit, great)!
	1:01pm Dean: Don Byron covers "Shotgun" on his album of Jr. Walker tunes. Good record.
	1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:01 Byron did lots of interesting thematic albums, have many of them (but not the Jr. Walker one).
	1:05pm Dean: I have a strong suspicion that the father of the guy who performed "Happy Ghoul Tide," Brice Armstrong, Jr., penned a piece in the NYT, June 9, 1946, "A Couple of Gringos in Old Mexico," in which Armstrong, Sr., reports that "Beer Barrel Polka" was ubiquitous on Mexican jukeboxes.
	1:06pm Dean: My favorite Byron album is probably Nu Blaxploitation, if only for the marvelous live appearance by Biz Markie. The Jr. Walker album is terrific top to bottom.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:06 Have that and a number of others, my fave (unsurprisingly) is his tribute to Mickey Katz...
	1:13pm Dean: Yeah, the Katz record is great, too. I think I saw Byron at LA's Skirball Center with Uri Caine. And was Jim Black drumming?
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Saw him a number of times, with the Mickey Katz Group, the Bug Music group, and some other times (at the original Knitting Factory, and other venues. Have a story I've told here about that Knit gig...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stop In The Name Of Love" by "Supremes" Becomming the HIT FACTORY...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Stop In The Name Of Love" by "Supremes" I have to extend my hand, palm out, when I hear this (but be careful not to do an Elon saulte..>)
	1:19pm Michael 98145: Gotta join in - really enjoying this show again
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Michael 98145, glad to hear it!
	1:20pm Dean: Confirmed c/o LA Times, Caine played the Skirball Center in May 2000 with a group including Byron, Ralph Alessi, Michael Formanek, and vocalists. Not clear that there was a drummer. Caine's Mahler project.
	🥁 1:22pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Ooh Ooh Baby" by "Miracles" Peak Motown.
	1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:20 Saw Caine's Mahler group at the Knitting Factory, was great (the NY Times jazz critic at the time sat next to me,on the floor). Caine was also in Byron's Bug Music group.
	🥁 1:28pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 1:29pm PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:42 hey Andrew! (my first chance to comment)
	1:32pm Dean: According to David Yaffe, freelancing for NYT in Dec. '98, Caine did Mahler at the KF "last November" (so '97? or '98?) with Dave Douglas. And a story in Globe & Mail from July '98 confirms that Black drummed in the Mahler group.
	🥁 1:32pm chresti: Hi Bob and bobbers!
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Hi, chresti
	1:41pm Dean: Ernie Durham named "Rufus" by Merced Blue Notes a "pick to click" in the Dec. 9, 1961, Michigan Chronicle.
	1:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 bob... how do you feel about sweet and bitter from this bb collection?
	1:42pm Dean: "Rufus Jr." appeared on Durham's list for Sept. 11, 1965.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: There was a Knitting Factory Jazz winter jazz fest, don't remember what year (it was actually the 2nd KF address), Dave Douglas was there with the Tiny Bell Trio, Caine/Mahler, and many other players in 3 levels of stages.
	1:44pm doctorjazz: 31 degrees outside, gotta walk the pooches, will take the show along through my phone/headphones. Thanks Bob, great weekend all!
	1:45pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:42 not sure what you're referring to, tom tom. Refresh my memory.
	1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:45 there's a song "sweet and bitter" on sunflower collection, unreleased....quite good, imho...
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:47 I'll have to check it out.
	1:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:48 i was excited when i first heard it...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:54pm Dean: Speaking of Mahler, I finally found the review in Time magazine of Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans that I read on publication in late '74. It stuck with me for "Mahlerian": "Bright aural mosaics from small motifs are constructed on a Mahlerian scale in this 80-minute work of symphonic rock." That's the full review. I would have sworn it said, "Mahlerian proportions."
	1:55pm spodiodi: Thanks, Bob! Love your show.
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Want To Go Home" by "Fats Domino" excellent fats song...never heard, thanks...
