9:04am : greeting from London uk9:11am : thanks for playing music by Rahsaan Roland Kirk! much appreciated.9:39am : I just got your premium this week, and a few tracks cracked me up. I wonder what the canyon people spokesman is up to these days, though chances are he's one of the fat-cat bankers who sent the economy into a tailspin9:48am : Hello Bob! Thanks for you prenium as well; some good, funny and rare stuff on it.
Salut Fred!9:56am : Hi Bob. Some fantastic sounds today. And hi Looms! Hope all is well.9:56am : Salut Looms,
David sounded pleased about your capturing their performance, that makes me glad I've put you two in touch. I must say I'm still very uneasy about giving him your email without asking you first, I hope you don't mind. All apologies anyway, I just shouldn't have done that; I thought I knew him enough to think he wouldn't abuse it, but still it was a breach of trust about which I'm downright ashamed.9:57am : Hello from Vermont! Great cool morning. Really like what you are playing.10:01am : No worry, Fred, David is a real gentleman.10:03am : Hello Tom, Hope all is well for you too. Have to rush out, see you soon!10:06am : Hey from Nooo Joisey. Great show!!10:24am : Hi Bob - Sister Fleeta Mitchell and Rev.

Nice Nina connection there - likewise the rest of this splendid set,.10:27am : Dankeschon10:35am : Hey Bob,
I heard you love Sacred Harp singing. If you're curious (or if you want to announce it on the radio), the New York City all day sacred harp singing convention will be held on September 18th from 10-3:30 at the 15th St. Friends meeting house in Manhattan. We'll sing all day.10:37am : Nina's "See Line Woman" was reissued and remixed (by Masters at Work) in 2002 and enjoyed a second life as a sizable dance hit.10:39am : Oh Nick10:39am : Roland Kirk, NRBQ, Easybeats and Billy Strange...all in one show. Nice work Bob10:43am : Del Amitiri :)10:45am : Is Hatful of Rain a take on Hatful of Sorrows by The Smiths10:48am : Bellisimmo10:28pm : love looking at the playlist from week to week. always entertaining. watching cloris leachman one step beyond. the creepmaster general.. how about a walk on the beach . funny driving around earlier today the song title neon meat dream of a octafish entered my mind. thats a good thing.1:19pm : Bob, thanks for playing the Brondsbury Tapes.
