Sometimes he sounds great-sometimes his time sounds stiff and somehow "off" to me.9:38am : (waiting for Uncle Michael to sign off...)9:41am : @drjazz I was a bit disoriented there for a moment9:43am : what doctorjazz @ melinda said. Crap I still have at least 3 more hours of work before the weekend!9:47am : Thanks for playing the great Dennis Wilson. Excellent.9:47am : Re: Albatross
The genius of Peter Green -- sounding like David Gilmour before there really was a "David Gilmour"! ;) Peter blueprinted the style for 'im.9:56am : so happy to hear this music. i conducted the Hungarian premier of this work with an orchestra in Budapest in 1992!!!9:57am : Good morning Bob and brainiacs.

If Andy toned down his voice and got mellow on mic. Im onto something. Doppleganger Lynch Alert...10:18am : Q on Sunday, have my tix!10:21am : It would be really cool to have a photo of Bob waiting on line at an Arby's.10:23am : Because that would be Bob in an Arby queue.10:23am : (I'm so sorry.)10:24am : :)10:24am : @Nordstrom: that's a belabored pun, but I have a fondness for these10:25am : Odessa - The Brothers Gibb's masterpiece10:26am : @fred, I fear I am rapidly becoming my grandfather.10:26am : Nice one, Nordstrom. I'd be really tickled if I weren't so simultaneously sickened right now. ; )10:29am : Ahh, so the punny gene runs deep and proud in your people. Good on ya.10:29am : Listeners near Berkeley: Down Home Records in El Cerrito will host a parking lot record meet tomorrow a.m. beginning at 8:00. The lot is small, but it's a fun vibe and there are deals aplenty.10:30am : So are you saying you're sickled? Or tickened?10:30am : captain memphis!10:30am : (Based on my experience at the last meet, I should mention.)10:35am : I have that velvet BG record.
Elliott Smith was my little secret that exploded on the scene. I was buying his 7"inches in the city and next thing i know...10:36am : I am, of course, bequeasymused. Elaborately belabored, but there you are. Thank you.10:37am : In 1969, when I was twelve, I stood lookout for a friend as he shoplifted the Odessa album from a department store in Jacksonville, Florida. Hadn't thought about that for years. Thanks for the memory!10:38am : 5000 fingers was just on the movies channel (5.2 in nyc) this morning.10:39am : @Nordstrom: there's a song for that. I don't remember who sang "I'm my own grandpa", but I'm sure I heard it on this station before10:39am : Chet Atkins10:41am : I saw a copy of the flocked Odessa at a record store recently, probably should have gotten it.10:46am : Nice Brummels.10:46am : Same here, @melinda. At Down Home, in fact. Didn't check the condition, can't remember the price.10:46am : Brummels rule!10:48am : I'm not a good record shopper, don't know what things are worth and like to snatch up scratchy cheap Salvation Army stuff.10:50am : I need to take better care of my records. They are gentle, a really good turntable properly skated helps a little.10:52am : @Smoking J whats up its Waking Bacon :) - passes the "Dutchie"🥁 10:53am : Bob I'm curious to know your thoughts on the Beau Brummels '66 lp.10:53am : Bebop lives!10:54am : I'm a so-so shopper, but I bet a copy of Odessa in good shape could command a high price.
