🥁 ♥ 9:03am :
Wonderful Tim Buckley tune.![]()
♥ 9:04am :
Tim...that's how I know I've found a webio home.![]()
♥ 9:04am :
I'm singin' "Bowling Green" over the intro to "Buzzin' Fly".![]()
9:04am : starting it out with tim buckley!!![]()
9:08am : Yeah!9:11am : 'Morning!9:14am : hi Bob...the series of LPs George Barnes did with Ruby Braff in the 70s are absolutely stellar. They are easy to find and cost next to nothing.![]()
9:17am : damn!!!![]()
9:22am : after all this time, there are some opening notes which are unmistakeable as what tune we are going to hear..![]()
🥁 ♥ 9:25am :
The Paupers and Paul Butterfield backing PP&M.![]()
♥ 9:27am :
Hmm, that sounds suspiciously like Bud Powell...9:30am : Just got up. Missed most of what is really a top notch Bob musical masala.
Nice to hear the Barnes/Braff recordings are available. Elegant and tasteful jazz players.![]()
♥ 9:34am :
Savor that set.![]()
🥁 ♥ 9:40am :
PP&M single was the first Basement Tape tune released.9:42am : mcvie/fleetwood rhythm section really shining here9:49am : Hey Annie, so the birthday week festivities are over. Welcome and have a great year.9:49am : lovin' it. make a request box tops? soul deep?![]()
🥁 ♥ 9:59am :
I just listened to Sopwith Camel the other day. I hadn't heard them in a million years.![]()
9:59am : thanks stuart!! it's been a blast really.. the plus side is that i did not experience a downer-feeling like i do this time each year. :)![]()
♥ 10:16am :
Let us @ last praise the BeachBoys' third act.![]()
♥ 10:18am : Good to know that this is what music will sound like some 9000 years in the future :)10:26am : How many different box sets are there from the Smile/Pet Sounds/Smiley Smile sessions? There must be a ton of overlap. Is there a reason to buy the new one? I'd really like to know. Thanks.![]()
♥ 10:28am :
The Pet Sounds Sessions box is rich - but pretty sharply focused. It has 'Good Vibrations' (rightly) but that's about it.10:28am : Bob? Anyone?10:29am : RRN63, you're holding about the one from a few years ago?10:31am : talking, not holding....sorry![]()
♥ 10:31am :
I mean the big box from (gulp) 20 years ago: en.wikipedia.org...10:32am : Thanks. Would you recommend the latest box?![]()
♥ 10:32am :
Don't have it - but wish I did.10:33am : Thanks, RRN63 and Bob!10:36am : Thanks, Rev, for the advice. Sharply focused box sets beat ' including the kitchen sink' collections, especially for those of us who are not completists.10:38am : I'm a pseudo-completist, so I'm torn.10:39am : Was ELO an orchestra? :)![]()
10:39am : Three pieces bb... Bass Guitar & Drums=Orchestra 8-)![]()
♥ 10:39am :
...Six.10:40am : Paul, don't tear the ole' wallet.10:41am : I usually don't. That's the problem.10:42am : I read "fear" instead of "tear."10:44am : I should get the Nick Lowe re-releases instead. But $$$10:48am : I'm not one to talk- having dozens and dozens f unread books lurking about. But i guess to ask yourself is whether you'll get to the album. I enjoy being parasitic off all the money Bob has spent on music over the decades.10:50am : Good point Stuart. I probably have 40 books about the Beatles I haven't read.10:51am : Also have an unopened 9-disc Leonard Cohen box.10:52am : And a Sly Stone box.10:55am : Neon Demon. Hot women. Horrible movie.![]()
🥁 ♥ 11:00am :
Great show Bob![]()
🥁 ♥ 4:44pm : "Station Man" sounds wonderful. What a masterpiece!
