Wanna buy a bridge?

I might need one.

Don't care in which part of you they fix their bridge-work sets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:05pm listener james from westwood:

Good Thursday, Charlie and all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm Charlie:

Parq -- was about to ask where that line came from, then I remembered -- Hunting Tigers out in India!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm Charlie:

Hey there listener James :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:07pm melinda:

hi everyone
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm Charlie:

hey there, melinda -- how are things in your part of the world today?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm northguineahills:

Wow, this Blues Project has been heavily sampled by DJ Shadow (?) (taking a tutorial, so, I can't focus too much on the music.)
  12:10pm jan:

Flute thing! Excellent Record- still have the LP and just spun it last week. Irwin played some
Tom Wilson Riff that had the same opener,,,
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:11pm Charlie:

hi northguineahills and jan :)
well, the beastie boys did a rap over the riff from this song, for one (or three)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:12pm melinda:

Things are pretty good here. Muggy, but good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm schmutz:

oh boy I made it to the livestream
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm Charlie:

muggy here too! let's try to get un-mugged. is that possible?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Uncle Michael:

Busy doing flutething.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Parq:

Charlie, when does it start to get nice up your way? We're looking at six weeks minimum in your old home town.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm doctorjazz:

Time for some nothingness, hi!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:14pm Charlie:

howdy, schmutz, Uncle Michael!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm Charlie:

hey doctorjazz!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm Charlie:

Parq -- you mean nice, leaf-peeping-wise, or just nice weather?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:16pm Parq:

Well, I assumed they went hand in hand, but I meant nice weather.
Avatar 12:17pm Carmichael:

Heya Charlie, hopefully Vicki is listening and will add this to her recent shittyflute series.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:20pm Charlie:

Hi Carmichael -- well, Vicki's show is done for the summer, I think. But the shittyflute will live on...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm melinda:

I love John Lurie's movie scores. I only learned of this one fairly recently though.
Avatar 12:21pm Mayuko:

Good afternoon Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm Charlie:

me too, melinda!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:22pm Charlie:

hi Mayuko! so nice to see you :)
Avatar 12:23pm ndbob:

afternoon Charlie, Melinda everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Charlie:

the score for Stranger than Paradise is gorgeous.
also, there's a cd of Manny & Lo / African Swim, very nice.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Charlie:

hey there, ndbob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm melinda:

Manny & Lo/African Swim is the one I was thinking of. It's great, and it was hard to find, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:28pm listener james from westwood:

So that's where that "Stink" track comes from! I've heard it in movie ads and trailers since, like for the semi-questionable film that used the Fish Called Wanda cast.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:31pm doctorjazz:

Great Allman Brothers track!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:32pm doctorjazz:

Allmans and Blues Project, makin' me happy!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:33pm Charlie:

Hey, doctorjazz, sorry to cut it off! (just wanted to hear the drone-y intro)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm Uncle Michael:

Get in D...down D...funky D!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:43pm doctorjazz:

I was waiting for it (the Allmans teack) to take off...
had to do some work, I MISSED WILLEM BREUKER!!! One of my favorites! (seen him in concert a number of times when he made a US appearance, man, was that a fun show).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm doctorjazz:

The Mozart will do, though, see the set theme, cool set!
  12:47pm jan:

Charlie- The Tuna: has got good taste! Mozart!a,
  12:50pm jan:

BTW is that the Pulaski Skyway on today's page?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:51pm Charlie:

jan -- that is: The ship Monongahela, passing under the incomplete Aurora Bridge, Seattle, Washington, 1931.
  12:57pm Listening Out There:

Charlie, jan, et al - In the photo, the tug had to move the schooner from Lake Union to Puget Sound, to prevent the schooner from being trapped by the slightly shorter bridge. Those darn bridges...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm Charlie:

Listening Out There -- thanks for the story!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:00pm Uncle Michael:

Here it is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:01pm listener james from westwood:

By coincidence to the Godfather of Soul, I'm now editing a bit of text about occupational therapists helping patients out of bed!
Avatar 1:01pm ndbob:

thanks LOT!

James -- Get them up, get them into it, get them involved!
Avatar 1:08pm mauri:

sleeping in the forest would do the trick.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:11pm doctorjazz:

Love that, LJFW-that song should be required background for all OT and PT sessions.
Avatar 1:14pm geezerette:

Hey Charlie & crew; doing nuthin', but hearing sumthin'! :)
(sing it Mabel!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Charlie:

mauri -- sleeping in the forest with the pygmies...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

hi geezerette :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

It's impossible to transcribe some of those "de-" words; they're so funny...
Avatar 1:17pm geezerette:

I LOVE Cole Porter. Elegant bad boy!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:17pm Guido from Cologne:

Hello everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Charlie:

Hello Guido!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm Parq:

For years, I thought one of the lines in that Porter song was "It's dilemma." Turns out it's "It's de limit." Tschh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm Guido from Cologne:

Is the new Angel Olsen worth the money?
Already have tivkets for her concert i8n October.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21pm Charlie:

Guido -- I'd love to see her play. I like everything I've heard from the album so far.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm Guido from Cologne:

She often looks angry on stage!
Thanks 4 the info, I'll get the albjm in advance.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm Charlie:

She sounds like she's working through some anger...
Avatar 1:27pm geezerette:

Parq,wasn't that a great version?! Ella Fitzgerald's delivery is great too, no doubt about words. His lyrics go on forever,there are stories about his ability to improvise at parties leaving guests hysterical with laughter.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:29pm Guido from Cologne:

... sure she is ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:33pm Parq:

Geez, never heard a version of that I didn't like. I even think the adapted version that got made into a 7UP commercial in the 70s was kinda cute.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm Parq:

There's a version of Sex Machine on the Apollo Vol 3 album that just kills me. Just knocks me flat.
Avatar 1:34pm geezerette:

Parq, :D !

I've always had a soft spot for these high school renditions of rock standards.
Avatar 1:46pm Roberto:

That was a good drum break!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:51pm northguineahills:

Thanks Charlie!
Avatar 1:53pm geezerette:

Good time Charlie!
Avatar 1:54pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm doctorjazz:

Great show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Parq:

Another bridge to enjoyment, C. Enjoy whatever weather it is you're having.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58pm Charlie:
