Listener comments!

9:01am Jeff:

Good Morning Bob + fellow listeners. Sending healing energy and good vibrations to Doc Rock!

9:01am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Good morning, Bob, and all you fellow Brainiacs.

9:02am Andrew in Tronto:

Good morning Bob and all other Planeteers.

9:02am Joe Merklee:

Good morning, all!

9:02am Deborah:

Still feeling the vibe after a great Shrunken Planet!

9:02am Fuzzy:

A foggy good morning to you all.

9:02am Listener Bop Monroe:

greetings from cloudy Tannersville Mr. BB!
look at the colors, man, oh wow...

9:03am Uncle Michael:

Good morning.

9:03am TDK60:

Morning Bob.

🥁

9:04am WilliamfromDumont:

Morning Bob and all.

9:05am YETI BOB:

good morning. i'm listening with headphones so i don't wake up the whole house. man, the stereo mix on some of these 60s records is bizarre. rhythm guitar panned hard right, vocals hard left.

9:06am TDK60:

This debut tune by Cream, I dig but it's always struck me as sorta weird. Hee, music is funny.

9:06am CalZone!:

That huge sigh of relief! I feel free right withya BB!

9:07am Bob Brainen:

Good morning Jeff, 1whoknewcthulhu, Andrew in Toronto, Joe M.,Deborah, Fuzzy, Listener Bop Monroe, Uncle Michael, TDK60, WilliamfromDumont.
YETI BOB, CalZone!

9:07am melinda:

Morning everyone!

9:08am YETI BOB:

it's not like they were going for any sort of natural stereo image. i can see why some people prefer the mono versions

9:08am Jeff:

Wow, I love this cover! It’s better than the original! El Chicano!

9:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

m.facebook.com...

9:09am SmokinJ:

Mornin' bb & group! 8-)

9:09am Bob Brainen:

I get that TDZ60, with the Doo Wop intro. Who was doin' that in 66/67??
Hey Melinda, Revolution Rabbit Nov63, thx for link.

9:11am TDK60:

Cream was lucky to have Jack Bruce as an unusual songwriter, singer.

9:11am dale:

i fifth or sixth the sentiment on el chicano. good morning.

🥁

9:12am WilliamfromDumont:

Lotsa good tunes on the "See" album.

9:12am Bob Brainen:

Hey SmokinJ, dale, Glad you guys dug El Chicano. I learned of it from Charlie Lewis eons ago.
Agree Wm.

9:13am Jeff:

In the ‘60s and ‘70s, I had a close family friend who worked for Atlantic Records. She must’ve given me two dozen picture sleeve copies of See. I guess it wasn’t a big seller for the company.

9:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

George Martin went back & Remixed the Stereo on 1965's Help! & RubberSoul. I kinda like hard separation but unnatural it is... 1960s Mono indeed often completely different mixes - & now prized. Check the Mono 'Ticket To Ride' - & the whole Mono Sgt. Pepper was punchier. Mono often makes it seem so - & less politely spread out...

9:15am 1whoknewcthulhu:

Wow--that's pretty garage for The Rascals.

🥁

9:17am WilliamfromDumont:

The early Rascals stuff in mono is the way to go.

9:18am Bob Brainen:

Hey Jeff, got any extra copy for a DJ?
Rev. I love that early lop-sided stereo w/the vocals all on 1 channel, some Beatles, Byrds 5D is crazy like that!
1who-and a rare guitar "solo!"
Yeah Wm. Mono is cool for garage-y stuff, stereo for Psych. but hell, I love it all!

9:19am adamdoesit:

Good morning, Bob and brains.

9:20am Rick from SC:

Good morning all

9:22am adamdoesit:

Man, did I walk in at the right time - I needed a little Slam in my morning.

9:22am Jeff:

Bob, definitely! I gave away a bunch, but I’m pretty sure I have a few left. I think the flip side is Carry Me Home

9:23am Woo:

Love the Camel

9:24am Bob Brainen:

Morning adamdoesit, Rick from SC,
Jeff! Giddy up! (as Kramer would say)

9:25am dale:

isn't it THE sopwith camel?

9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Cream had to stumble their way a little into inventing Hard Rawk - like the yARdbiRdS & Jeff Beck wondering where they belonged in Pop.
Hendrix helped answer that question.
Jack Bruce oh hell yes.

9:26am dale:

remember when irwin did those airchecks of that guy.....that guy..(thinking)....any way there was a commercial for the sopwith camel in it.

9:27am Bob Brainen:

Woow, me too! Dale, I almost always leave off the "The" also "Sopwith" Camel but I can't be bothered!

🥁

9:28am WilliamfromDumont:

I thought that early Charlatans stuff had been lost.

9:29am dale:

savage resurrection makes toes tap.

9:29am Dennis Diken:

Good morning Bob & everyone! Agreed Bob re mono/stereo, love it all. Sometimes the hard-panned stereo makes for an odd listening experience but isolating channels sure helped me to figure out harmonies and drum parts when I was a kid!

9:30am TDK60:

The Charlatans supposedly influenced a lot of other Bay area folks into dressing more outlandishly.

9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

William right ?
Just saw this about pre-ballroom SF :
m.youtube.com...

9:31am Yes:

morning

9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& check your speaker connections...

9:33am melinda:

@dale wasn't that part of the Tom Wilson series?

9:34am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for that link, Rev.

9:37am TDK60:

Yeah, That What's Shakin' various artists LP was fun. Check out Jack Bruce's very unusual bass guitar on "Crossroads" (w/Clapton & Powerhouse).

9:37am theia:

Cowabunga DJ Bob! anyone needing a burst of caffeinated Saturday morning happiness to be alive here ya go :) Thanks DJ and friends

9:39am kP×:

G👀d 12/12/20 B°b Br^íⁿeⁿ.

9:39am dale:

yay! from the witchwood is a fave. the sheperds song a standout for me, with rick wakeman.

9:40am Jeff:

I misspoke. I have the picture sleeve 45 of Carry Me Back/Real Thing not See. Bob, you can have one of those.

9:42am Bob Brainen:

Wm. it's been available on diff. labels.
Hey Jeff, I'll take it!
Yeah Charlatans were pioneers and pioneers are often the ones who get the arrows in the back...

9:46am Jeff:

It’s yours, Bob. I just went through my 45s. I’ve got a bunch of Atco/Atlantic/Cotillion singles that she used to give me for free (besides paying 75 cents for brand new albums). One of my biggest regrets in life - we had another close friend who was in the jukebox business. He invited me to go with him to all these bars in Bklyn and take whatever records I wanted. I didn’t go

🥁

9:46am WilliamfromDumont:

Ah, mellotron in the morning.

9:48am Joe Merklee:

Yeah, everything sounds better with a mellotron

9:48am kpx:

arrows →→→ in da back !

9:50am TDK60:

Sandy D. on Saturday morning, just fine.

9:51am egould310:

Good morning from Seattle! Nice way to wake up. Thanks for the tunes, Bob.

Time to get out of bed and stretch. Got a nice run planned this morning. Bonus, the run ends at a donut shop.

9:52am Bob Brainen:

Hey Jeff, we all have regrets. People w/o 'em haven't lived!
Agree Joe M!
kpx, pioneers are ahead, so their backs are exposed.
The followers get the $. Sometimes it's deserved, other times...

9:54am Marc Francis:

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

9:55am Kevino:

I was late to the party, had Bursting at the seams and Hero and Heroin. They were special!

9:55am theia:

one tune after another fantastic and beautiful taking me to another world

9:57am Corey:

Good morning Bob and listeners from Traverse City, MI! Nice to have this great Strawbs set on while the snow falls.

9:57am Bob Brainen:

Hey egould310, Marc Francis,
Kevino, I was late too, came in on Witchwood & Grave New World, worked my way back.
theia, I'm glad you like!
Hey Corey, oh man, SNOW! I envy you, man.

9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Earlier Sandy Denny a delight - like her lungs grew bigger & her soul darker later... Charming ...yet the odd combination of Discovery & Obituary again... It's all an opportunity to practice one's Buddhism I suppose...

🥁

9:59am WilliamfromDumont:

Nice set.

10:06am Heavy Chevy:

holy smokes now i know where Latryx got the sample. wow

10:08am kpx:

@B°b: all to true in any field. the followers all to often don't even give credit. they just profit from the creativity of others, as you indicated.

10:08am Jeff:

Love Stanley Cowell. He used to be ubiquitous on the NYC jazz club scene. Then he disappeared. I was relieved to find out he’d been teaching all those years.

10:10am Bob Brainen:

Rev, that is some deep stuff! "Discovery & Obituary." Wow.
Hey, thanks Wm. I was crushed when I read that Tony had passed.
Yeah, Strata East label heavily sampled. I guess that keeps it in the air but also drives up the vinyl prices! But...makes CDs viable to produce. again, Yin & Yang. Or "Ying & Yang, as Tony Soprano put it.

10:12am Heavy Chevy:

the latyrx song in question:

www.youtube.com...

great tune, killer sample

10:13am Heavy Chevy:

*re stanley cowell sample

10:14am TDK60:

Is there a compact disc revival yet? (Like they had a record revival.) Maybe it won't occur. MP3s/etc. forever?

10:15am DaveinPA:

that's Fuzz done right

10:18am Andrew in Tronto:

@TDK,
I still buy them and I`m not an audiophile.

10:18am Irene Trudel:

TDK60, I hope so. I gotta do something will all the discs I have in my collection.

10:19am TDK60:

Andrew, Irene, I still buy about one or two physical albums a year. A CD maybe or LP. Tapes, almost never.

10:21am Listener Bop Monroe:

"Friends would later note that Denny had a history of purposely throwing herself off bar stools and down flights of stairs in order to get a reaction. Several remembered this behaviour as "Sandy's party trick", while Dave Pegg's wife Chris stated, "She certainly did it in my house and it could be a very dramatic gesture, like self-harming. She could do it without hurting herself usually but I had a feeling there would be one time too many."
"Those who knew Denny said that her increasing level of alcohol abuse in the last years of her life led to an increasing number of falls (both accidental and on purpose), resulting in a growing number of injuries."

10:22am TDK60:

I borrow a lot of CDs from the public library.

10:22am Listener Bop Monroe:

upset when i read that. the music is all i care about.

🥁

10:24am WilliamfromDumont:

Tim Hardin's backing band (sorta).

10:24am Bob Brainen:

TDK I have wondered is there will be. All formats have had a revival, but...are physical formats a thing of the past for "the youths?"
I still buy cds and vinyl too, but in a fraction of the quantity I used to.
TDK, libraries rule, but the way people treat CDs drives me nuts!

10:25am Bob Brainen:

Bop, what is that Sandy thing from?

10:26am Listener Bop Monroe:

got it from her wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Denny

10:26am Dennis Diken:

“Carry Me Back” is one of the best ever Rascals sides, methinks

10:30am TDK60:

The Rascals were great, Dennis D. // Don't think 78 RPMs or 16 RPM partee LPs are comin' back, but there's likely a 78 underground...hee..

10:30am Hams:

i like CDs, 'cause i can listen to'm in the truck.

10:32am Listener Bop Monroe:

TDK: Cylinders baby, cylinders!

10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Reminds me of some speculating if Jim Morrison actually had some latent epilepsy he was sublimating or something throwing himself around - but probly no more than speculation. Although for Ian Curtis the line between seizure & performance was certainly blurred. Jim & Sandy may have shared a propensity for risk - but surely it had nothing to do with her onstage presentation...

10:32am dale:

my 97 gmc pickup has a factory cassette. ones i have from the 70s 80s still play okay.

10:33am TDK60:

Hee, L.B.P.

10:34am Woo:

Agree about Carry Me Back @Dennis Diken. Late Rascals did some great stuff, especially the Peaceful World double LP.

10:36am Bob Brainen:

Gotta give those later Rascals a retry. Sorta cut out when Eddie did. Columbia's are Jazzy and that wasn't Eddie's thing....but it's mine!

10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Like how one April Fools the Library of Congress (Smithsonian ??) issued a statement that due to how short lived digital platforms were - they were officially preserving all Recordings on stable 78 RPMs...

10:37am Listener Bop Monroe:

once saw a wire tape recorder in a (now closed Bklyn) thrift shop for $75 but it had no media & it was before eBay. still have regrets.

10:38am TDK60:

I have a few old classical 78s. I asked a used record dealer, who said nobody wants 'em.

10:40am TDK60:

Don't worry folks, I'd be adamantly opposed to any cassette-single revival.

🥁

10:40am WilliamfromDumont:

Man, I really love Richie's albums from this period.

10:40am The Butterman:

Bob, I’ll buy this tune for 300 million if you throw in the rest of your tunes

10:42am Heavy Chevy:

<3<3<3

10:42am Jeff:

I saw the Rascals in ‘72 up in college. It was an expanded band, but I think only Felix and Dino were there from the original foursome.

10:42am Woo:

Richie Havens was my first concert at 13 years old. Won tickets on the radio. The Rhode Island Auditorium. A hippie offered me pot. I declined. I was 13.

10:42am YETI BOB:

TDK60: I think the classical world fell hard for CDs. They don't appreciate the surface noise like I do. And they don't want to flip records in the middle of a symphony

10:43am Yes:

wonderfful version

10:43am SecretSquirrel:

Richie Havens' version of 'Just Like a Woman' is every bit as good as the original

10:43am TDK60:

Got to see Richie at the Cafe Au Go Go during this debut album period. Left a strong impression tho it was long ago!

10:43am YETI BOB:

Originally CDs were going to be 60 minutes but Sony and Philips extended the capacity to 74 minutes to accommodate a complete performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

10:44am SecretSquirrel:

Wish I could've seen him then, @TDK60

10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Well worth it. Not quite Beatle money... Bringing It All Back Home my favorite Bob but maybe Blonde On Blonde. What can you say?

🥁

10:44am WilliamfromDumont:

@TDK60 Wow!

10:45am YETI BOB:

then classical music listeners sold off their collections and secondhand classical vinyl became basically free. i picked up a bunch of Deutsche Gramophon disks in the 90s.

10:46am TDK60:

Actually it was almost overwhelming, his emotive presence, WilliamfromDumont.

10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Did Ritchie do for Woman what Jimi did for Watchtower ? Not quite but who cares...

10:48am watchpocket:

Bob, you mentioned Tom Donahue and Bob Mitchell earlier, you might be interested in a thing I wrote up earlier this year where I talk about them: watchpocket.net...

10:48am TDK60:

..especially when Richie sang "The Klan" or "Handsome Johnny."

10:48am Jeff:

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - almost, though Jimi totally reinvented All Along The Watchtower. Greatest cover ever!

10:50am Bob Brainen:

Rusty, I'll check that out. Thx.
Man, comments are very cool this show, they always are, but i dig the threads, mon.

10:52am paul:

The Zombies Decca Stereo Anthology is a great compilation.

10:52am Marc Francis:

Damn. Another CHOOOOOOOOOON

10:53am TDK60:

Thanks for that, watchpocket! Will read later (try to squeeze it in!). I'm reading another book on the SF scene. // Bob! One of Procol Harum's most beautiful, have to turn it up.

10:53am Phillippe Bastille:

good morning

10:55am Bob Brainen:

Bonjour Phillippe Bastille,

10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Zackly Jeff.
I'll tell you... When I was a high school kid I'd done acid a few times & loved it. Then the school was showing the Woodstock film - & I thot I'd get blotto for it. Took some infamous 4-way that was going around. I had NO IDEA about that kinda dose yet ...& - in the high school was completely the wrong set & setting. Well - they had Ritchie Freaking Havens open Woodstock while they got the electrics together
...& WHOMP: Freedom! Freeeedommm! FREEEDOMMM !
...I completely melted in public right then & there. Big trauma... the big bad acid trip of my life, yerknow...
Four days later - John Lennon was shot.

10:57am watchpocket:

@Bob @TDK60 My pleasure, gentlemen. Thanks for sounds Bob as always. Very unique musical vision on your shows.

10:57am Gerry from Miami:

Bob, the Salty Dog album and all of Procol Harum's output, for that matter, is so woefully overlooked and underappreciated. This one, a rare vocal by someone other than Gary Brooker, is a real gen.

10:57am TDK60:

Gracias DJ BB; see yall.

10:58am Andrew in Tronto:

Thanks for another excellent show Bob.

10:58am Dennis Diken:

great show Bob!

10:59am Corey:

Thanks for the great show Bob! Nice to spend the morning with your song selections as usual. Take care all.

10:59am Jeff:

Thanks for the music, Bob and everyone for the conversation Take care, all

10:59am Listener Bop Monroe:

thnx again Mr. BB. till next week be safe all

10:59am Gerry from Miami:

NRBQ. another totally underappreciated band. And they're still playing!!

10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Wonderful Saturdays on FMU !
Thanks Always DJ BB.

10:59am Frank Zaatar:

I'm wondering if Pilgrim's Progress might be the first meta-sequel--a sequel about writing the original song.

🥁

11:00am WilliamfromDumont:

Great show Bob

11:00am Woo:

English is definitely weird.

11:01am Bob Brainen:

Thanks Rusty, agree Gerry from Miami.
Yer welcome all & thanks!
Enjoy the weekend.

11:01am otto:

woohoo

11:09am Rivieradoug:

Great show Bob

11:11am Irene Trudel:

Another great show, Bob! Thank you.

1:36pm joechrismorris:

your not the only one I know Bob! welcome back to the air! still have those Strawbs cds you were kind enough to pass on - my favorite singing of hers on that album she did with them is ALL I NEED IS YOU. That couldve been a single, its as catchy as Si Tu Dois Partir (which she did w Fairport with Joe Boyd
