	♥ 11:07am spodiodi: good morning, Bob and all!
	♥ 11:08am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya spodi!
	11:08am Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	🥁 ♥ 11:08am doctorjazz: Hey, dan-I really loved the RT show as well! (would have liked a few more covers of others' songs, but loved his Kinks Xmas song, Oops I did it again also, though that's in his repertoir; he's just amazing)
	11:08am listener james from westwood: Morning, Bob, Pete, and all! Coffee and danish ready to go for this episode!
	♥ 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, 90.1 FM.
	11:09am dan: When the recent Fleetwood Mac did Black Magic Woman, Stevie Nicks sang it and they changed the lyric to “I’m A Black Magic Woman”. Needless to say I was not impressed
	11:09am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood!
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am (Mr) Bill: Up from my sickbed to listen and learn.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am Will thee Sound Guy: good morning Bob and all!!!
	♥ 11:10am Zipperhead7: "Sunny Side" always makes me think of "You Only Live Twice." Love 'em both
	♥ 11:10am Franco Twinkie: After all these years, I still can't decide which Black Magic Woman I like better. I guess I'll go to my grave with it unresolved.
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Ken From Hyde Park!
	11:11am dan: @doctorjazz Covers are good and all, but I pay money to listen to RT’s songs, be it solo or Fairport. I think there was a fine balance between his songs and the covers
	11:11am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am RobbieWhite: Sunnyside of Heaven would be a good DJ theme song
	11:11am Bob Brainen: Will thee Sound Guy!
	♥ 11:11am StringOFperils: @Franco> Understandable.
	11:11am PT: Years ago I happened upon a band called Acetone doing an in-store at Kim’s on St Marks Place, and they played Sunny Side of Heaven. They won a fan that day! Then they broke up.
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	🥁 ♥ 11:12am doctorjazz: No argument, @dan, was great to see him (his wife is sounding much better than the last time I saw them, and his son has quite the voice!)
	11:13am Greg g: Happy Saturday Bob and fellow Brainiacs!!
	11:13am Bob Brainen: PT, did they play an Acetone organ like Peter Holsapple?
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Greg g!
	♥ 11:14am Andrew in Toronto: PT Almost all of the band Acetone is worth checking out.
	11:14am dan: @doctorjazz And one lesson to be learned from last night’s show is, don’t go to an all request Richard Thompson and request Taylor Swift. I hope that wasn’t you.
	11:15am Bob Brainen: On my very first day of college in Utica N.Y. a local band on campus was playing "Tell me all the things you do." Blew my mind.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17am doctorjazz: (I saw one other RT request show, at the old City Winery. My recollection was at that show he took a shot at more sounds that weren't in his regular repertoir, using more of those lyric printouts. It was fun to see him take a stab at them and pull it off mostly (though he made a valiant, but not successful attempt at "And Your Bird Can Sing" and it's dual lead guitars. Even that was amazing, though he didn't quite pull it off). I requested Fairport (odds of getting pulled were slim, which I knew going in), Who Knows Where The Time Goes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17am Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Bob, friends! I'm psyched for this show.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Wendy del Formaggio, it's been a minute!
	♥ 11:18am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Franco!
	11:19am Jeff: Good Morning Bob, Pete + fellow listeners A quick story re Peter Green. I did not see him play w/Fleetwood Mac, but my late great friend Doc Rock did at Fillmore East (more than once). Anyway, late ‘90s/early ‘00s, I did see Peter and the Splinter Group a few times. It was a thrill to be in the presence of Mr Green(baum), but, usually, Nigel Watson played a lot of lead and Peter was phoning it in. EXCEPT, one night at BB King’s in Manhattan on a double bill with John Mayall (no, they didn’t play together) Doc and I had tix for the early show. I forgot who opened which show, but they switched for the late show. The early set by Peter was, typically, uninspired. They cleared the house for the second show EXCEPT Doc and I hung by the bar hoping to stay for free - which we did. Peter walked right by me during the break, and we shook hands. It was like shaking hands with a dead fish. In any event, the second show starts, and you had to be there to believe it. Peter was playing and singing like it was 1968/1969. Oh Well, Rattlesnake Shake, Green Manalishi, etc. It was unfuckingbelievable! Doc and I kept looking at each other in disbelief. I believe the year was 2000. I didn’t think it was possible (after all those years) for Peter to conjure up that (black) magic again.
	11:19am SecretSquirrel: Hey Bob + everyone! Nice to see the sunshine here in the Northeast.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Jeff!
	♥ 11:20am coelacanth∅: 'morning Bob & Pete and all
	11:20am Bob Brainen: SecretSquirrel!
	🥁 ♥ 11:20am Wendy del Formaggio: Bob, sometimes I tune in but don't chime in. I'm usually doing chores... which is where I'm headed now. Thanks for providing the soundtrack!
	♥ 11:20am TDK60: Hi Bob & Pete.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Pete!
	11:20am Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	♥ 11:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Wendy. I was looking for your show yesterday and didn't see it. Are you on hiatus at the moment or was I lost?
	11:21am Bob Brainen: TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22am Wendy del Formaggio: Hi KenFHP: Do you mean my WOOL show? That ended last month. I'm not sure if it's okay to announce this yet, but here I go anyway: I'm moving my show to this here Drummer stream in about a month! So yes, I'm on hiatus while I put together a radio studio in my house.
	♥ 11:22am StringOFperils: @Jeff > That mere handshake you offered might have communicated more than you know
	♥ 11:23am TDK60: I mentioned it before here. I saw F.M. during their 'Kiln House' tour, down at Fillmore East; with Savoy Brown.
	♥ 11:23am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya coel!
	♥ 11:23am Zipperhead7: What a great story, Jeff. When I saw Pete in Chicago on his first Splinter tour, he just phoned it in. But we were all thrilled to be there nonetheless
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Wendy, that's great news!
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Bob! I'm really excited -- and a little nervous. I'm honored to be part of this awesome on-air community. The Drummer stream kicks ass!
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Jeff, man, you lucky!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am doctorjazz: Haim do a cover of Oh Well, there's a YouTube video of it, pretty good version, from memory www.youtube.com...
	11:26am dan: I hope you play Oh Well Part 2
	♥ 11:26am Franco Twinkie: Oh Well was the FM staple back in the day when I was still wet clay. It still gives me shivers. Now where is my baseball mitt?
	11:26am Greg g: Would it be fair to say that between this tune and Thr Rolling Stones “Shake your Hips” Z.Z. Top found their whole sound?
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am Uncle Michael: good morning, gentlemen, and listeners of all pronouns.
	11:27am Gina Bacon: Hi Pete, too! That’s what I get for listening on the fly…
	♥ 11:27am northguineahills: rebooted old laptop 1.5 ago, still trying to figure out the lack of sound....
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am doctorjazz: Wendy, that's GREAT NEWS! Can't wait to catch the show (Monday slot?)
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth∅: 'morning Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am RobbieWhite: i hope you play Oh Well part 2 in the next 2 hours
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am Uncle Michael: I'll be the roundabout. Wait, that's another show...
	11:27am dan: Jersey Jug Handle
	🥁 ♥ 11:28am doctorjazz: Hey Andrew!
	♥ 11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Super news, Wendy. Looking forward to the cheese-oriented marathon premiums! Haha.
	♥ 11:28am StringOFperils: UM, NO
	♥ 11:28am northguineahills: finally! (looks like I'll keep this one running for least another year).
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: Bob Welch gave them legitimate hits.
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: SOp, YES!
	11:29am SecretSquirrel: Everyone should check out Haim’s live cover of “Oh Well,” you can find it on YouTube. It’s a fine tribute from one Jewish guitar hero (Danielle) to another
	11:30am SecretSquirrel: Jinx @doctorjazz
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, DoctorJazz! Yes, I'll be taking the Monday 4-7pm slot for now. If someone shows up to take the 3-5, my show will shrink to 5-7pm. Then again, I could do 3-7pm, but I've done a 2-hour show since about 1999, so doubling that is a little daunting. We'll see, though. Stay tuned!
	♥ 11:30am northguineahills: well, I have a month to attempt to elicit 20+ cheese tips (as comments) from wendy on the mothership....
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am doctorjazz: I posted that Haim link above... www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Uncle Michael: Welcome to the fold, WdF!
	♥ 11:32am TDK60: Wendy, I look forward to hearing the show!
	♥ 11:32am Frank Zaatar: Great to be with Perfessers Bob and Peter today! Question from the back of the classroom: What kind of guitar is Peter Green playing on Black Magic Woman?
	🥁 ♥ 11:32am Wendy del Formaggio: @KenFHP: Haha, I'm not sure I'll exactly do that. The shipping would cost a fortune. Since my show starts so close to marathon, I'm planning on doing a t-shirt for my premium. I have the design 75% finished.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: then play on is Brilliant -almost no spencer on that album. kiln house their weekest,in my opinion (despite a few Amazing cuts) being spencer-heavy. a waste of some excellent album art!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Wendy del Formaggio: @NGH: YES! Do your best, my friend. Let's get booted off together! hahaha
	11:33am Jeff: Danny Kirwan, bless his troubled soul, was the best addition to any band ever. He was the perfect ingredient for Peter to realize his vision in Then Play On. And, then he helped carry the band after Peter left (Jeremy doesn’t count) along with Christine (who was Perfect) and the underrated Bob Welch. How lucky were John McVie and Fleetwood Mac? Real good rhythm section, but…..
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you, Uncle Michael! I'm so thrilled to share the airwaves with you and so many other fabulous folks. <3
	🥁 ♥ 11:34am Uncle Michael: I'm pretty soft on Jeremy Spencer. He was adept at aping Elmore, but didn't bring a lot more than that to the table. Had he not lost his mind, the band was destined to leave him behind musically, if not literally.
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, TDK60! It'll be fun to have you all there. The name of my show will be Wreck Your Own Adventure, which is a sorta portmanteau of the names of my two previous community radio shows. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald + Choose Your Own Adventure
	♥ 11:36am Zipperhead7: Yeah, "Oh Well" pt. 2 is very reminiscent of a Morricone soundtrack
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: skillful too, Jeff...they, or Fleetwood, made most of the band member selections after Peter left. (and really, an Inspired drummer)
	🥁 ♥ 11:36am Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, friends. I'm touched by your enthusiasm, and now I wanna go clean the kitchen and listen to Bob and Pete talk about and play FM. Have a sweet day, everybody!
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: ...(or what Bob's saying now!)
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: i'll guess Christine's passing made the other members realise they're 80 years old.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am PT: @Frank Zaatar: Gotta be Peter's Les Paul (with the vaunted phase-altered pickups) on Black Magic Woman, yes?
	♥ 11:39am Frank Zaatar: Peter's got a remarkably good handle on that Sonny Boy Williamson II sound.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Uncle Michael! How are you feeling?
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: This is the most guitar-solo harmonica solo, ever.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: Still got a sniffle, but not too bad, thanks.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	♥ 11:41am Mxter Baba: That opening sounded almost Bonzo!
	♥ 11:41am Frank Zaatar: @PT: That makes sense. Squirrel and I were just commenting on the influence of Green's sound on Santana's SG.
	11:41am SecretSquirrel: Agree re PG’s harp sound, @FrankZataar
	♥ 11:41am Mxter Baba: oh, hi, Bob and folx!
	11:42am dan: Is the Purple Dancer’s companion The Green Manalishi gonna be played?
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Jeff, totally agree, Danny Kirwan was an astounding choice and how he blossomed. It's a shame it didn't last.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Mxter Baba!
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am PT: @Jeff: Incredible Splinter Group story! My experience with them was depressingly similar to your "1st set" account: I saw them at Tramps c. 1997 (with Savoy Brown opening. RIP Kim Simmonds) and Peter's playing had all the life of a week-old salad. He played the correct notes more or less, but in an entirely rote fashion.
	11:45am Gerry from Miami: Yo, Messrs. Brainen and Tomlinson! And a big "Boy, Howdy!" to Uncle Michael way out there in Lawrence, Kansas! This is a fun retrospective, but three hours isn't nearly enough to capture the enormity of Fleetwood Mac's talent and repertoire. Hopefully, Bob and Pete will do another installment real soon. Till then, happy listening to all the Brainiacs!
	11:45am dan: If there is any chance of me personally seeing a group called Fleetwood Mac in concert, it better be Bekka Bramlett handling the female sung songs and not Stevie Nicks. Bring Lindsay Buckingham, Rick Vito and Billy Burnette into the fold and make it a 50+ year long retrospective show.
	11:45am Jeff: Anyone love End of the Game? I dug it when I first bought the LP 50+ years ago and still dig it today. Peter never REALLY lost his mind, but, sadly, he did lose his life.
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:46am Dean: This show is predictably wonderful. Saw Savoy Brown only once, when they opened for Rick Wakeman(!) at Anaheim Convention Center.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Dean, thanks! It's hard to F-up with such material.
	♥ 11:48am Frank Zaatar: The Ballad of Peter Green by Alan Sherman: youtu.be...
	♥ 11:49am Zipperhead7: I am in the minority who think the playing on End of the Game is brilliant. Gary Lucas wrote a fine appreciation of Peter Green and talks about that Tramps gig: pleasekillme.com...
	11:49am Bob Brainen: And yes, R.I.P. Kim Simmonds and Dino Danelli.
	🥁 ♥ 11:49am PT: For me, a major feature of Rattlesnake Shake (other than its subject matter: always gives my inner 11-year-old a laff) is Peter's non-stop riffing on his Fender Bass VI six-string bass.
	♥ 11:51am northguineahills: I didn't get into Fleetwood Mac until I was 26 looks at the clocK, errr, 20 years ago. But in that year I made up for a lot of lost time... Still, my knowledge of their pre-1970 output is spotty....(or post-1980 for that matter)
	11:53am Bob Brainen: northguineahills!
	♥ 11:54am Franco Twinkie: For me, Fleetwood Mac more than any other band underscores the passage of time. The first time I heard Rattlesnake Shake I was a supple boy confounded by the feelings that were flooding my mind and body. Now I'm a crotchety old man who can't find his wallet. This music is going to bury me.
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: it's the croats over the atlas lions, 2-1
	♥ 11:56am Mxter Baba: Pranko! From crotch to crotchety!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56am PT: @Franco Twinkie: Beautifully put. Sums up my attitude 110%.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Uncle Michael: Retrace your steps, Franco.
	🥁 ♥ 12:00pm wmfromD: I've always dug the production on Love That Burns.
	12:02pm johnk77: great show selecters i thought rick vito was great at the peter green tribute concert https://americanahighways.org/2021/05/20/at-mick-fleetwoods-tribute-to-peter-green-rick-vito-had-the-best-spot/
	♥ 12:02pm northguineahills: @UM: but franco needs to find his wallet, not his.... oh....
	12:02pm dan: It’s Uncle Michael’s Winter Is Coming Anthem
	♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, right now I'm retracing my steps trying to find my coffee cup.
	♥ 12:04pm northguineahills: I think it was yesterday when I finally realized the marathon icon was a marching snare, and not a smiling horse or the cowcatcher of a locomotive (and I no longer have the excuse of being blind).
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: johnk77, thanks!
	♥ 12:10pm TDK60: NGH, now that ya mention those, I can see them.
	♥ 12:12pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 12:12pm wmfromD: Dragonfly and Purple Dancer were released ona U.K. greatest hits comp in the early 70's.
	12:15pm dan: I read somewhere that after 1991, there was talk of Fleetwood Mac going back to being an all male group with the lineup being Fleetwood, McVie, Vito and Burnette. Throw Welch into the mix and you would’ve had a smokin lineup.
	♥ 12:16pm TDK60: Hi Andrew.
	12:19pm beavo: Yeah Jeremy’s use of LSD had a lot to do with it as well
	12:20pm Listener Robert: Sweat lodge?
	12:20pm Dean: And then there was the Desiderata poster...
	12:21pm beavo: He is no longer with the children Of god put an album out a few years ago he was going to tour the US a few years ago also and was barred entry due to accusations of child abuse when he was with that group
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, yes!
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: beavo, thanks. Yeah creepy sad stuff.
	12:23pm beavo: But I saw an interview with him from a few years ago with Mick Fleetwood and he sounds very lucid and down to earth reminiscing about old times. Completely bald
	12:23pm dan: Here’s an interesting story: Bob Welch was recruited to Fleetwood Max through his high school friend Judy Wong who was the band’s secretary. After leaving the band, he formed a short lived band called Paris with Judy’s ex husband Glenn Cornick from Jethro Tull.
	12:23pm dan: *Mac
	♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: Bob Welch, the desert, hashish and flying saucers will be forever linked in my addled brain.
	♥ 12:24pm Zipperhead7: Did anyone see an early '71 show when Green stepped in for Spencer? Also, does anyone have "The Act featuring Peter Green," recorded in late 1970 and briefly issued as a download a few years ago?
	🥁 ♥ 12:24pm PT: Hey, @wmfromD: If that Greatest Hits is the one I'm thinking of (CBS c. 72? Red cover?), it only featured Dragonfly, not Purple Dancer. Bob has a European comp (because of course he does!) with both songs, I believe.
	12:24pm Dean: Paris's albums aren't half bad. Really dig Welch's solo efforts, too.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: dan and Thom Mooney from Nazz! Thanks did not know how he got the gig.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Yeah, an odd as F German comp. w/ both songs.
	12:26pm Jeff: I’ve got Jeremy’s first three albums (LPs not CDs). I was such a FM fanatic; I had to have ‘em. Bought them back when they came out. They, basically, suck. Danny’s first album, however, I loved (but, not the ones that followed). Peter (even when digging graves and giving away his money) always managed to put out good records over the years. And, I dare say that End of the Game was great!
	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm doctorjazz: It's Friday!
	12:26pm dan: “And whatever comes your way goes your way.” -Uncle Michael
	🥁 ♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm outta here!
	12:27pm Dean: We're all Pavlov's dogs, aren't we?
	🥁 ♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: (drool)
	12:28pm Listener Robert: Yes, doctorjazz, Uncle Michael has ruined this one for me. Too much association with bye-bye. Like that movement of Beethoven's 9th and "Good night Chet," "Good night, David".
	12:29pm Dean: Was it a portion of a Brahms symphony that Marlboro spoiled?
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm Uncle Michael: Here's a nice homage to Albatross, some may not have heard: www.youtube.com...
	12:30pm Dean: But I'll add that "Albatross" is not spoiled by weekly exposure.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm RobbieWhite: John Lennon said "Here Comes The Sun King" was based on "Albatross"
	12:31pm Listener Robert: I love hidden homages -- don't anyone dare call them rip-offs, they're hard work to compose!
	12:32pm Dean: Here's another, uhm, homage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrqW_BZu5Xk I was there.
	12:34pm dan: @RobbeWhite Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Sun King and Golden Slumbers is based on the mini medley songs of The Incredible String Band. Ringo’s drum solo on The End was influenced by Ron Bushy’s solo on In-A-Gadda-De-Vida
	12:35pm Listener Robert: I've noticed in literature, drama, etc. a tendency of creators to deny that they intended certain allusions that its consumers find. Like it's a game they're playing and they have to keep a poker face or it spoils it?
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: It's not so much that the tune is spoiled, but it means the end of show one is really enjoying (Flute Music at the end of Jeff G's DO Radio has a similar effect)
	12:36pm Listener Robert: That's exactly what I meant, doctorjazz. It's like the end of the fun.
	♥ 12:37pm Frank Zaatar: @dan: That's what I always figured about Ringo's solo. He was so not a drum solo guy, but I guess he figured, OK, you want a drum solo, here it is.
	12:38pm dan: One Together sounds like a song that if it was included on the first 2 Buckingham Nicks albums, it would’ve been a Top 10 hit
	12:38pm beavo: Bob, I’m sure you’ve probably heard of or have the Vaudeville Years of Fleetwood Mac set released years ago It features the full unedited versions of “Underway” and the complete “Madge” sessions which were heavily edited on Then Play On
	12:39pm Dean: I'm sure that in many cases artists in fact did not consciously intend to emulate another. Then there are cases where they are quite conscious of the debt they owe their predecessors. Early on John Ashbery acknowledged his admiration of Auden (who selected one of Ashbery's early books for the Yale Younger Poets prize).
	12:40pm beavo: @dan Funny but WRONG
	12:40pm dan: Bob Welch did a fine job on Green Manalishi during his time in the band
	♥ 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, The lighter side of Fleetwood Mac. When Green Manalishi was current, my sister and I devised a special devil dance we would do around the dining room table.
	12:54pm beavo: @dan There was only one (1) Buckingham Nicks album
	12:56pm dan: Man Of The World is probably Peter Green’s best song. It’s bluesy but also transcends the British folk rock of Fairport Convention.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm wmfromD: @PT. You're right. Dragonfly only. Good comp though and a great cover photo.
	♥ 1:04pm Zipperhead7: Elvis Costello said Man of the World inspired him to become a musician/songwriter. faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	♥ 1:08pm Zipperhead7: Kirwan's guitar tone on Kiln House is to die for
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm PT: @wmfromD: GREAT cover photo! An amazing angle for a live shot. That comp did serve a valuable purpose in gathering the non-LP singles together, back before EVERYTHING wasn't available EVERYWHERE (like now).
	1:12pm dan: Are you going to play “I Loved Another Woman”?
	1:16pm dan: “Spare Me…” and “Come A Little Bit Closer” are Christine McVie’d two best contributions to FM
	1:17pm Listener Robert: Sounds like, "Spare me your liver."
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: Get your own liver, mine's in use...

	♥ 11:08am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya spodi!
	11:08am Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	🥁 ♥ 11:08am doctorjazz: Hey, dan-I really loved the RT show as well! (would have liked a few more covers of others' songs, but loved his Kinks Xmas song, Oops I did it again also, though that's in his repertoir; he's just amazing)
	11:08am listener james from westwood: Morning, Bob, Pete, and all! Coffee and danish ready to go for this episode!
	♥ 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, 90.1 FM.
	11:09am dan: When the recent Fleetwood Mac did Black Magic Woman, Stevie Nicks sang it and they changed the lyric to “I’m A Black Magic Woman”. Needless to say I was not impressed
	11:09am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood!
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am (Mr) Bill: Up from my sickbed to listen and learn.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10am Will thee Sound Guy: good morning Bob and all!!!
	♥ 11:10am Zipperhead7: "Sunny Side" always makes me think of "You Only Live Twice." Love 'em both
	♥ 11:10am Franco Twinkie: After all these years, I still can't decide which Black Magic Woman I like better. I guess I'll go to my grave with it unresolved.
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Ken From Hyde Park!
	11:11am dan: @doctorjazz Covers are good and all, but I pay money to listen to RT’s songs, be it solo or Fairport. I think there was a fine balance between his songs and the covers
	11:11am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	🥁 ♥ 11:11am RobbieWhite: Sunnyside of Heaven would be a good DJ theme song
	11:11am Bob Brainen: Will thee Sound Guy!
	♥ 11:11am StringOFperils: @Franco> Understandable.
	11:11am PT: Years ago I happened upon a band called Acetone doing an in-store at Kim’s on St Marks Place, and they played Sunny Side of Heaven. They won a fan that day! Then they broke up.
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	🥁 ♥ 11:12am doctorjazz: No argument, @dan, was great to see him (his wife is sounding much better than the last time I saw them, and his son has quite the voice!)
	11:13am Greg g: Happy Saturday Bob and fellow Brainiacs!!
	11:13am Bob Brainen: PT, did they play an Acetone organ like Peter Holsapple?
	11:13am Bob Brainen: Greg g!
	♥ 11:14am Andrew in Toronto: PT Almost all of the band Acetone is worth checking out.
	11:14am dan: @doctorjazz And one lesson to be learned from last night’s show is, don’t go to an all request Richard Thompson and request Taylor Swift. I hope that wasn’t you.
	11:15am Bob Brainen: On my very first day of college in Utica N.Y. a local band on campus was playing "Tell me all the things you do." Blew my mind.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17am doctorjazz: (I saw one other RT request show, at the old City Winery. My recollection was at that show he took a shot at more sounds that weren't in his regular repertoir, using more of those lyric printouts. It was fun to see him take a stab at them and pull it off mostly (though he made a valiant, but not successful attempt at "And Your Bird Can Sing" and it's dual lead guitars. Even that was amazing, though he didn't quite pull it off). I requested Fairport (odds of getting pulled were slim, which I knew going in), Who Knows Where The Time Goes.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17am Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Bob, friends! I'm psyched for this show.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: Wendy del Formaggio, it's been a minute!
	♥ 11:18am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Franco!
	11:19am Jeff: Good Morning Bob, Pete + fellow listeners A quick story re Peter Green. I did not see him play w/Fleetwood Mac, but my late great friend Doc Rock did at Fillmore East (more than once). Anyway, late ‘90s/early ‘00s, I did see Peter and the Splinter Group a few times. It was a thrill to be in the presence of Mr Green(baum), but, usually, Nigel Watson played a lot of lead and Peter was phoning it in. EXCEPT, one night at BB King’s in Manhattan on a double bill with John Mayall (no, they didn’t play together) Doc and I had tix for the early show. I forgot who opened which show, but they switched for the late show. The early set by Peter was, typically, uninspired. They cleared the house for the second show EXCEPT Doc and I hung by the bar hoping to stay for free - which we did. Peter walked right by me during the break, and we shook hands. It was like shaking hands with a dead fish. In any event, the second show starts, and you had to be there to believe it. Peter was playing and singing like it was 1968/1969. Oh Well, Rattlesnake Shake, Green Manalishi, etc. It was unfuckingbelievable! Doc and I kept looking at each other in disbelief. I believe the year was 2000. I didn’t think it was possible (after all those years) for Peter to conjure up that (black) magic again.
	11:19am SecretSquirrel: Hey Bob + everyone! Nice to see the sunshine here in the Northeast.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Jeff!
	♥ 11:20am coelacanth∅: 'morning Bob & Pete and all
	11:20am Bob Brainen: SecretSquirrel!
	🥁 ♥ 11:20am Wendy del Formaggio: Bob, sometimes I tune in but don't chime in. I'm usually doing chores... which is where I'm headed now. Thanks for providing the soundtrack!
	♥ 11:20am TDK60: Hi Bob & Pete.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Pete!
	11:20am Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	♥ 11:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Wendy. I was looking for your show yesterday and didn't see it. Are you on hiatus at the moment or was I lost?
	11:21am Bob Brainen: TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22am Wendy del Formaggio: Hi KenFHP: Do you mean my WOOL show? That ended last month. I'm not sure if it's okay to announce this yet, but here I go anyway: I'm moving my show to this here Drummer stream in about a month! So yes, I'm on hiatus while I put together a radio studio in my house.
	♥ 11:22am StringOFperils: @Jeff > That mere handshake you offered might have communicated more than you know
	♥ 11:23am TDK60: I mentioned it before here. I saw F.M. during their 'Kiln House' tour, down at Fillmore East; with Savoy Brown.
	♥ 11:23am Andrew in Toronto: Hiya coel!
	♥ 11:23am Zipperhead7: What a great story, Jeff. When I saw Pete in Chicago on his first Splinter tour, he just phoned it in. But we were all thrilled to be there nonetheless
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Wendy, that's great news!
	🥁 ♥ 11:25am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Bob! I'm really excited -- and a little nervous. I'm honored to be part of this awesome on-air community. The Drummer stream kicks ass!
	11:25am Bob Brainen: Jeff, man, you lucky!
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am doctorjazz: Haim do a cover of Oh Well, there's a YouTube video of it, pretty good version, from memory www.youtube.com...
	11:26am dan: I hope you play Oh Well Part 2
	♥ 11:26am Franco Twinkie: Oh Well was the FM staple back in the day when I was still wet clay. It still gives me shivers. Now where is my baseball mitt?
	11:26am Greg g: Would it be fair to say that between this tune and Thr Rolling Stones “Shake your Hips” Z.Z. Top found their whole sound?
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am Uncle Michael: good morning, gentlemen, and listeners of all pronouns.
	11:27am Gina Bacon: Hi Pete, too! That’s what I get for listening on the fly…
	♥ 11:27am northguineahills: rebooted old laptop 1.5 ago, still trying to figure out the lack of sound....
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am doctorjazz: Wendy, that's GREAT NEWS! Can't wait to catch the show (Monday slot?)
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth∅: 'morning Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am RobbieWhite: i hope you play Oh Well part 2 in the next 2 hours
	🥁 ♥ 11:27am Uncle Michael: I'll be the roundabout. Wait, that's another show...
	11:27am dan: Jersey Jug Handle
	🥁 ♥ 11:28am doctorjazz: Hey Andrew!
	♥ 11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Super news, Wendy. Looking forward to the cheese-oriented marathon premiums! Haha.
	♥ 11:28am StringOFperils: UM, NO
	♥ 11:28am northguineahills: finally! (looks like I'll keep this one running for least another year).
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: Bob Welch gave them legitimate hits.
	🥁 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: SOp, YES!
	11:29am SecretSquirrel: Everyone should check out Haim’s live cover of “Oh Well,” you can find it on YouTube. It’s a fine tribute from one Jewish guitar hero (Danielle) to another
	11:30am SecretSquirrel: Jinx @doctorjazz
	🥁 ♥ 11:30am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, DoctorJazz! Yes, I'll be taking the Monday 4-7pm slot for now. If someone shows up to take the 3-5, my show will shrink to 5-7pm. Then again, I could do 3-7pm, but I've done a 2-hour show since about 1999, so doubling that is a little daunting. We'll see, though. Stay tuned!
	♥ 11:30am northguineahills: well, I have a month to attempt to elicit 20+ cheese tips (as comments) from wendy on the mothership....
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am doctorjazz: I posted that Haim link above... www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:31am Uncle Michael: Welcome to the fold, WdF!
	♥ 11:32am TDK60: Wendy, I look forward to hearing the show!
	♥ 11:32am Frank Zaatar: Great to be with Perfessers Bob and Peter today! Question from the back of the classroom: What kind of guitar is Peter Green playing on Black Magic Woman?
	🥁 ♥ 11:32am Wendy del Formaggio: @KenFHP: Haha, I'm not sure I'll exactly do that. The shipping would cost a fortune. Since my show starts so close to marathon, I'm planning on doing a t-shirt for my premium. I have the design 75% finished.
	♥ 11:32am coelacanth∅: then play on is Brilliant -almost no spencer on that album. kiln house their weekest,in my opinion (despite a few Amazing cuts) being spencer-heavy. a waste of some excellent album art!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Wendy del Formaggio: @NGH: YES! Do your best, my friend. Let's get booted off together! hahaha
	11:33am Jeff: Danny Kirwan, bless his troubled soul, was the best addition to any band ever. He was the perfect ingredient for Peter to realize his vision in Then Play On. And, then he helped carry the band after Peter left (Jeremy doesn’t count) along with Christine (who was Perfect) and the underrated Bob Welch. How lucky were John McVie and Fleetwood Mac? Real good rhythm section, but…..
	🥁 ♥ 11:33am Wendy del Formaggio: Thank you, Uncle Michael! I'm so thrilled to share the airwaves with you and so many other fabulous folks. <3
	🥁 ♥ 11:34am Uncle Michael: I'm pretty soft on Jeremy Spencer. He was adept at aping Elmore, but didn't bring a lot more than that to the table. Had he not lost his mind, the band was destined to leave him behind musically, if not literally.
	🥁 ♥ 11:35am Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, TDK60! It'll be fun to have you all there. The name of my show will be Wreck Your Own Adventure, which is a sorta portmanteau of the names of my two previous community radio shows. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald + Choose Your Own Adventure
	♥ 11:36am Zipperhead7: Yeah, "Oh Well" pt. 2 is very reminiscent of a Morricone soundtrack
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: skillful too, Jeff...they, or Fleetwood, made most of the band member selections after Peter left. (and really, an Inspired drummer)
	🥁 ♥ 11:36am Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, friends. I'm touched by your enthusiasm, and now I wanna go clean the kitchen and listen to Bob and Pete talk about and play FM. Have a sweet day, everybody!
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: ...(or what Bob's saying now!)
	♥ 11:38am coelacanth∅: i'll guess Christine's passing made the other members realise they're 80 years old.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39am PT: @Frank Zaatar: Gotta be Peter's Les Paul (with the vaunted phase-altered pickups) on Black Magic Woman, yes?
	♥ 11:39am Frank Zaatar: Peter's got a remarkably good handle on that Sonny Boy Williamson II sound.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Uncle Michael! How are you feeling?
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: This is the most guitar-solo harmonica solo, ever.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Uncle Michael: Still got a sniffle, but not too bad, thanks.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar!
	♥ 11:41am Mxter Baba: That opening sounded almost Bonzo!
	♥ 11:41am Frank Zaatar: @PT: That makes sense. Squirrel and I were just commenting on the influence of Green's sound on Santana's SG.
	11:41am SecretSquirrel: Agree re PG’s harp sound, @FrankZataar
	♥ 11:41am Mxter Baba: oh, hi, Bob and folx!
	11:42am dan: Is the Purple Dancer’s companion The Green Manalishi gonna be played?
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Jeff, totally agree, Danny Kirwan was an astounding choice and how he blossomed. It's a shame it didn't last.
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Mxter Baba!
	🥁 ♥ 11:44am PT: @Jeff: Incredible Splinter Group story! My experience with them was depressingly similar to your "1st set" account: I saw them at Tramps c. 1997 (with Savoy Brown opening. RIP Kim Simmonds) and Peter's playing had all the life of a week-old salad. He played the correct notes more or less, but in an entirely rote fashion.
	11:45am Gerry from Miami: Yo, Messrs. Brainen and Tomlinson! And a big "Boy, Howdy!" to Uncle Michael way out there in Lawrence, Kansas! This is a fun retrospective, but three hours isn't nearly enough to capture the enormity of Fleetwood Mac's talent and repertoire. Hopefully, Bob and Pete will do another installment real soon. Till then, happy listening to all the Brainiacs!
	11:45am dan: If there is any chance of me personally seeing a group called Fleetwood Mac in concert, it better be Bekka Bramlett handling the female sung songs and not Stevie Nicks. Bring Lindsay Buckingham, Rick Vito and Billy Burnette into the fold and make it a 50+ year long retrospective show.
	11:45am Jeff: Anyone love End of the Game? I dug it when I first bought the LP 50+ years ago and still dig it today. Peter never REALLY lost his mind, but, sadly, he did lose his life.
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:46am Dean: This show is predictably wonderful. Saw Savoy Brown only once, when they opened for Rick Wakeman(!) at Anaheim Convention Center.
	11:47am Bob Brainen: Dean, thanks! It's hard to F-up with such material.
	♥ 11:48am Frank Zaatar: The Ballad of Peter Green by Alan Sherman: youtu.be...
	♥ 11:49am Zipperhead7: I am in the minority who think the playing on End of the Game is brilliant. Gary Lucas wrote a fine appreciation of Peter Green and talks about that Tramps gig: pleasekillme.com...
	11:49am Bob Brainen: And yes, R.I.P. Kim Simmonds and Dino Danelli.
	🥁 ♥ 11:49am PT: For me, a major feature of Rattlesnake Shake (other than its subject matter: always gives my inner 11-year-old a laff) is Peter's non-stop riffing on his Fender Bass VI six-string bass.
	♥ 11:51am northguineahills: I didn't get into Fleetwood Mac until I was 26 looks at the clocK, errr, 20 years ago. But in that year I made up for a lot of lost time... Still, my knowledge of their pre-1970 output is spotty....(or post-1980 for that matter)
	11:53am Bob Brainen: northguineahills!
	♥ 11:54am Franco Twinkie: For me, Fleetwood Mac more than any other band underscores the passage of time. The first time I heard Rattlesnake Shake I was a supple boy confounded by the feelings that were flooding my mind and body. Now I'm a crotchety old man who can't find his wallet. This music is going to bury me.
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: it's the croats over the atlas lions, 2-1
	♥ 11:56am Mxter Baba: Pranko! From crotch to crotchety!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56am PT: @Franco Twinkie: Beautifully put. Sums up my attitude 110%.
	🥁 ♥ 11:58am Uncle Michael: Retrace your steps, Franco.
	🥁 ♥ 12:00pm wmfromD: I've always dug the production on Love That Burns.
	12:02pm johnk77: great show selecters i thought rick vito was great at the peter green tribute concert https://americanahighways.org/2021/05/20/at-mick-fleetwoods-tribute-to-peter-green-rick-vito-had-the-best-spot/
	♥ 12:02pm northguineahills: @UM: but franco needs to find his wallet, not his.... oh....
	12:02pm dan: It’s Uncle Michael’s Winter Is Coming Anthem
	♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, right now I'm retracing my steps trying to find my coffee cup.
	♥ 12:04pm northguineahills: I think it was yesterday when I finally realized the marathon icon was a marching snare, and not a smiling horse or the cowcatcher of a locomotive (and I no longer have the excuse of being blind).
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: johnk77, thanks!
	♥ 12:10pm TDK60: NGH, now that ya mention those, I can see them.
	♥ 12:12pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 12:12pm wmfromD: Dragonfly and Purple Dancer were released ona U.K. greatest hits comp in the early 70's.
	12:15pm dan: I read somewhere that after 1991, there was talk of Fleetwood Mac going back to being an all male group with the lineup being Fleetwood, McVie, Vito and Burnette. Throw Welch into the mix and you would’ve had a smokin lineup.
	♥ 12:16pm TDK60: Hi Andrew.
	12:19pm beavo: Yeah Jeremy’s use of LSD had a lot to do with it as well
	12:20pm Listener Robert: Sweat lodge?
	12:20pm Dean: And then there was the Desiderata poster...
	12:21pm beavo: He is no longer with the children Of god put an album out a few years ago he was going to tour the US a few years ago also and was barred entry due to accusations of child abuse when he was with that group
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, yes!
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: beavo, thanks. Yeah creepy sad stuff.
	12:23pm beavo: But I saw an interview with him from a few years ago with Mick Fleetwood and he sounds very lucid and down to earth reminiscing about old times. Completely bald
	12:23pm dan: Here’s an interesting story: Bob Welch was recruited to Fleetwood Max through his high school friend Judy Wong who was the band’s secretary. After leaving the band, he formed a short lived band called Paris with Judy’s ex husband Glenn Cornick from Jethro Tull.
	12:23pm dan: *Mac
	♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: Bob Welch, the desert, hashish and flying saucers will be forever linked in my addled brain.
	♥ 12:24pm Zipperhead7: Did anyone see an early '71 show when Green stepped in for Spencer? Also, does anyone have "The Act featuring Peter Green," recorded in late 1970 and briefly issued as a download a few years ago?
	🥁 ♥ 12:24pm PT: Hey, @wmfromD: If that Greatest Hits is the one I'm thinking of (CBS c. 72? Red cover?), it only featured Dragonfly, not Purple Dancer. Bob has a European comp (because of course he does!) with both songs, I believe.
	12:24pm Dean: Paris's albums aren't half bad. Really dig Welch's solo efforts, too.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: dan and Thom Mooney from Nazz! Thanks did not know how he got the gig.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Yeah, an odd as F German comp. w/ both songs.
	12:26pm Jeff: I’ve got Jeremy’s first three albums (LPs not CDs). I was such a FM fanatic; I had to have ‘em. Bought them back when they came out. They, basically, suck. Danny’s first album, however, I loved (but, not the ones that followed). Peter (even when digging graves and giving away his money) always managed to put out good records over the years. And, I dare say that End of the Game was great!
	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm doctorjazz: It's Friday!
	12:26pm dan: “And whatever comes your way goes your way.” -Uncle Michael
	🥁 ♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm outta here!
	12:27pm Dean: We're all Pavlov's dogs, aren't we?
	🥁 ♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: (drool)
	12:28pm Listener Robert: Yes, doctorjazz, Uncle Michael has ruined this one for me. Too much association with bye-bye. Like that movement of Beethoven's 9th and "Good night Chet," "Good night, David".
	12:29pm Dean: Was it a portion of a Brahms symphony that Marlboro spoiled?
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm Uncle Michael: Here's a nice homage to Albatross, some may not have heard: www.youtube.com...
	12:30pm Dean: But I'll add that "Albatross" is not spoiled by weekly exposure.
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm RobbieWhite: John Lennon said "Here Comes The Sun King" was based on "Albatross"
	12:31pm Listener Robert: I love hidden homages -- don't anyone dare call them rip-offs, they're hard work to compose!
	12:32pm Dean: Here's another, uhm, homage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrqW_BZu5Xk I was there.
	12:34pm dan: @RobbeWhite Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Sun King and Golden Slumbers is based on the mini medley songs of The Incredible String Band. Ringo’s drum solo on The End was influenced by Ron Bushy’s solo on In-A-Gadda-De-Vida
	12:35pm Listener Robert: I've noticed in literature, drama, etc. a tendency of creators to deny that they intended certain allusions that its consumers find. Like it's a game they're playing and they have to keep a poker face or it spoils it?
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: It's not so much that the tune is spoiled, but it means the end of show one is really enjoying (Flute Music at the end of Jeff G's DO Radio has a similar effect)
	12:36pm Listener Robert: That's exactly what I meant, doctorjazz. It's like the end of the fun.
	♥ 12:37pm Frank Zaatar: @dan: That's what I always figured about Ringo's solo. He was so not a drum solo guy, but I guess he figured, OK, you want a drum solo, here it is.
	12:38pm dan: One Together sounds like a song that if it was included on the first 2 Buckingham Nicks albums, it would’ve been a Top 10 hit
	12:38pm beavo: Bob, I’m sure you’ve probably heard of or have the Vaudeville Years of Fleetwood Mac set released years ago It features the full unedited versions of “Underway” and the complete “Madge” sessions which were heavily edited on Then Play On
	12:39pm Dean: I'm sure that in many cases artists in fact did not consciously intend to emulate another. Then there are cases where they are quite conscious of the debt they owe their predecessors. Early on John Ashbery acknowledged his admiration of Auden (who selected one of Ashbery's early books for the Yale Younger Poets prize).
	12:40pm beavo: @dan Funny but WRONG
	12:40pm dan: Bob Welch did a fine job on Green Manalishi during his time in the band
	♥ 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, The lighter side of Fleetwood Mac. When Green Manalishi was current, my sister and I devised a special devil dance we would do around the dining room table.
	12:54pm beavo: @dan There was only one (1) Buckingham Nicks album
	12:56pm dan: Man Of The World is probably Peter Green’s best song. It’s bluesy but also transcends the British folk rock of Fairport Convention.
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm wmfromD: @PT. You're right. Dragonfly only. Good comp though and a great cover photo.
	♥ 1:04pm Zipperhead7: Elvis Costello said Man of the World inspired him to become a musician/songwriter. faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	♥ 1:08pm Zipperhead7: Kirwan's guitar tone on Kiln House is to die for
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm PT: @wmfromD: GREAT cover photo! An amazing angle for a live shot. That comp did serve a valuable purpose in gathering the non-LP singles together, back before EVERYTHING wasn't available EVERYWHERE (like now).
	1:12pm dan: Are you going to play “I Loved Another Woman”?
	1:16pm dan: “Spare Me…” and “Come A Little Bit Closer” are Christine McVie’d two best contributions to FM
	1:17pm Listener Robert: Sounds like, "Spare me your liver."
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: Get your own liver, mine's in use...
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm (Mr) Bill: Geez, we lost a lot of musicality a couple of weeks ago, didn’t we?
	♥ 1:18pm spodiodi: a slow hello to you, Andrew! indeed, Robert
	♥ 1:20pm spodiodi: Franco, would love to see the special devil dance sometime 👹
	🥁 ♥ 1:21pm wmfromD: Green played on Peter Barden's album The Answer (69/70?). IMO, not a great album save for I Don't Want To Go Home. Green shines on that one.
	♥ 1:28pm Zipperhead7: Here's a ripping live version of Stop Messin' 'Round. www.youtube.com...
	1:38pm Patrck White: Does anyone know who did the backing vocals on Spare me as little.Is it Christine’s voice spliced in ?or Danny Kirwan?
	🥁 ♥ 1:38pm RobbieWhite: Thanks for playing "Oh Well" part 2
	🥁 ♥ 1:43pm doctorjazz: Nice to hear Pt 2...
	1:46pm Bob Brainen: I'm glad we had time to fit it in. It really is gorgeous!
	♥ 1:47pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show! Thanks Bob and Pete!
	🥁 ♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob and Pete great show (FM-no static at all...)
	1:49pm Bob Brainen: Patrick White, not sure, would have to relisten, but their voices have a similarity
	1:49pm Patrick White: Thanks to Bob and Pete.Wonderful three hours.
	♥ 1:51pm TDK60: Lots of great B-sides and outtakes. / Thanks, Bob & Pete.
	1:51pm Jeff: The two volumes of Blues Jam In Chicago were very coveted LPs back in the day (got ‘em both). They just released a book of photographs from those sessions. Mine is on its way.
	♥ 1:51pm Zipperhead7: Great tribute show, guys -- esp. giving Danny Kirwan his due
	1:52pm dan: Great show Bob and Pete
	1:52pm Ross T.: Been working Saturdays but today I got to hang at home and hear this terrific show! Perfect for a Bare Trees kinda day.
	♥ 1:52pm StringOFperils: Thank you!
	♥ 1:52pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks again for the seminar, profs! It was a pleasure to be enrolled.
	🥁 ♥ 1:53pm PT: @Jeff: my book is "out for delivery" today as we speak!

	1:55pm Jeff: Thanks Bob, Pete and the rest of you for the music and dialogue.

	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm wmfromD: Wonderful show Bob & Pete. Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm (Mr) Bill: I’m ready for the exam on Green-Kirwan eras Fleetwood Macs.
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Bob! Thank you Pete!
	♥ 1:59pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Bob. I loved this show more than you know.
