	11:23am Bob Brainen: Greetings to you, HARMONIE. We got an inch or 2 here. How about you?
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Hi Gerry from Miami, sounds fine on this end.
	🥁 11:24am chresti: Hi Bob and bobbers
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: "Cristo Redentor" was one of the tunes I heard often on early 70s 24-hour jazz giant in LA, KBCA-FM. Still a fave.
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @11:24 Hiya, crestikins!
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Hi, chresti
	🥁 11:27am chresti: Hi Andrew in TOkins!
	11:28am adamdoesit: Hi Bob and brain trust. We had to put down our lovely cat this week, and are gradually coming to the conclusion that the best tribute to her would be to welcome a new kitty into our lives. We miss you, Ann Kittenplan. You made this place a home.
	11:28am HARMONIE: About 4 inches here in Warminster,PA
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Hi, Adamdoesit
	11:29am Soule: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 So sorry to hear that.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: ↳ HARMONIE @11:28 4". Nice!
	11:31am Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 Aw, Adam, so sorry for your loss. Everyone's different but I can't survive a loss without getting a new kit/cat. To replace the irreplacable.
	11:31am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cristo Redentor" by "Harvey Mandel" There's a version of this on the Cannonball Adderly Fiddler on the Roof album, called Sabbath Prayer. Beautiful tune!
	11:31am Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:23 Glad to know it wasn't just me - that sounded garbled on my speaker too.
	11:32am Gerry from Miami: So weird that everything has been crystal clear today except for the ROLLINS cut. Oh, well. I have that LP if I really want to hear that tune. I'll pass for now, maybe check the Archive later. Keep up the great show! More MOTOWN later, I see. Any musical nod toward the holidays?
	11:32am StringOFperils: Good morning, Bob and friends.
	🥁 11:32am RobbieWhite: i am really sorry Adam
	🥁 11:32am chresti: The wild parrots are squawking along..

	11:35am doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:32 Sonny sounded ok here...
	11:36am StringOFperils: The great cat continuum receives and returns all the cats. The flame of cat permanence flickers in every cat’s eyes. You will meet again.
	11:37am adamdoesit: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:31 Thanks so much, Bob. I wanted to mention it because I know you keep the feline flame alive. (It is a flame, isn't it SOp?) Thanks Soule, Robbie, SOp, all.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Morning, stringOFperils
	11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @11:37 You decide on a new kittycat soon? Nice!
	11:40am Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @11:37 Amen
	11:43am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ninety-Fifth 36b" by "Denson's Sacred Harp Singer... This is great!!!!
	🥁 11:44am chresti: The funny thing about cats is that they keep coming to the front porch
	11:50am Gerry from Miami: I heard Ray Mason give a nod to the famous Phil Spector Christmas album and to Brian Wilson/Beach Boys as well.
	11:50am StringOFperils: No self-respecting cat’s going to the back door. They’re hobos but they’re still royalty.
	🥁 11:52am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:44 That is, one goes to cat heaven and another one shows up as if they've always been there
	🥁 11:55am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Woojamacooja" by "Helen Humes" I’ll take Woojamacooja over Hakuna Matata any day, and twice on Festivus.
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 This is a good time of year to get a new kitty.
	11:55am doctorjazz: Love this jump Blues, proto-R&B!
	11:56am Jeff: Good Morning Bob and everyone else!
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Hey, Jeff
	12:05pm adamdoesit: ↳ chresti @11:52 chresti, I like that so much. AiT, I was kind of thinking that the week before Christmas would be peak adoption season, but you may be right.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ adamdoesit @12:05 You and your family will make a kitty very happy.
	12:08pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, it almost seems like there are more cat lovers here today than music buffs. Equal time for our animal friends.
	12:11pm ∫ydniuß: Hi Bob & assembled adventurers! Love me a grit. Cheesy Grits? 🤤
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Only ever had eggs and grits (they’re on the side) and (what is known as) sausage once, in some nondescript diner near the old bus depot in Chicago. Interesting, grits. Not really my thing.
	12:14pm Soule: I've been watching the San Francisco SPCA's Kitten Cam for entertainment. It's on from 9 to 6 PST every day. The kittens are on a nap break now. www.sfspca.org...
	12:16pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ StringOFperils @12:13 Grits & butter nom noms (not everybody’s thing)
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hi, ∫ydniuß
	12:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Big Wheel" by "Howard Crockett" Motown??!!?
	12:23pm StringOFperils: A lot of market testing @ early Motown. Barry Gordy goes fishing to see what’ll bite.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eye... Hit! Hit! Hir! All the hits!!!
	🥁 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eye... More evidence that, for the most part, the Supremes’ best work and biggest hits don’t have much of an intersection.
	12:31pm gene sculatti: Irresistible Smokey track.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, Gene Sculatti
	🥁 12:33pm duke: Just about anything from Martha Reeves and the Vandellas will get you dancing
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: hey, duke
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He's Got The Whole World (In His Hands)" by "Liz ... Shattered my glass vase...
	12:40pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:40 lol
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Leaving Here" by "Eddie Holland" Hi Bob! Love this original version. I'm only familiar with the cover by Motorhead.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: Gosh, these MOTOWN songs are so infectious! Flashbacks to high school and college years.
	12:50pm StringOFperils: Deep childhood for me, this stuff…early 60s
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Franco. Thanks, I did not know the cover.
	12:57pm StringOFperils: Listen to that bass player!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by "Temptations" ;- )
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by "Temptations" Never saw The Temptations, but I saw Jerry Garcia sing this song!
	1:08pm Gerry from Miami: Loved Liz Lands' version of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." But the definitive rendering of that anthem was the LAURIE LONDON recording that reached #2 on Billboard in 1958. This young 13-year old boy from London appeared on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW and mightily impressed me, an 11-year old at the time. Wonder if he's still with us.
	1:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Be A Cry baby" by "Joanie & The Triangles" Popsicles Icicles comes to mind hearing this...
	1:15pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. DEFINITELY! That Popsicles song was rendered by the MURMAIDS. Similar sound, for sure!
	🥁 1:19pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Right Now" by "Sammy Turner" Nature Boy
	🥁 1:20pm chresti: ↳ chresti @1:19 a little bit
	1:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Give Me A Kiss" by "Hornets" Wonder what they were thinking of when they cut this...
	1:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Give Me A Kiss" by "Hornets" Shameless chord/riff steal!
	🥁 1:21pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @1:20 They thought Beatle mania
	1:22pm JoeChrisMorris: Just enjoying the show
	1:22pm sydniuß: 🪲 zomg such theft
	1:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You're A Wonderful One" by "Marvin Gaye" Marvin Gaye, fab! (on the stealing/lifting theme, hear some "Memphis" in the guitars...)
	1:23pm SecretSquirrel: That kiss (not Kiss) song! How’d they get away with that? Fair use/parody I guess
	1:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @1:23 (But you could make the case it's a well-worn blues riff)
	1:24pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ doctorjazz @1:20 Not to mention the worst rhyme of all time: "Egypt/ don't want to see me gypped"
	1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:24 ;- )
	1:27pm Gerry from Miami: JOANIE of Joanie and the Triangles was a hit American vocalist who had a hit with " Johnny, Get Angry." She did those PEPSI commercials that brought us the catchphrase, "For those who think young!" The Triangles were a British group backing upJoanie on this recording.
	1:29pm Gerry from Miami: OOPS! Forgot to post JOANIE SOMMERS' last name!!
	1:32pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ doctorjazz @1:23 Plus a large percentage of Jimmy Reed songs.
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar. Jimmy Reed, yes! And I forgot about Memphis but my guess is that the chord pattern was around a long time before that song.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 Hey, Bob! Late to the party but glad to be here.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Off Minor" by "Thelonious Moog" Makes me smile (Monk does genrally, this gets an extra wide one)!
	1:43pm SecretSquirrel: Wow!! Love this cover, it’s already one of my fave Monk tunes
	1:44pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Good People. Happy Solstice !
	1:44pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Off Minor" by "Thelonious Moog" ⭐️ so much love the genre tour
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: Happy solstice to you, Michael 98145
	🥁 1:53pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 What another excellent show! Thankd, Bob!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr. And Mrs. People" by "Ornette Coleman" Ed Blackwell on drums (and Haden, Cherry and Ornette, of course); love the way the drums just bounce!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, loved the show! Happy Healthy to all!
	🥁 1:55pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks for the Saturday treat, Bob. Happy Festivus to all.
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Endnote----Laurie London, who charted "Whole World in His Hands" in 1958, turns 81 next month. Hang in there, sir!
	1:56pm Soule: Fun show, Bob - thanks!
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Thanks, Bob.
	1:57pm doctorjazz: (Actually have barely moved from my listening position in the past 3 hours, been fun!)
	🥁 1:57pm PAULS: Thanks Bob! Great show
	1:57pm ∫ydniuß: Thanks be to Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromd: Great show Bob! Happy Holidays everyone.

	11:23am Bob Brainen: Greetings to you, HARMONIE. We got an inch or 2 here. How about you?
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Hi Gerry from Miami, sounds fine on this end.
	🥁 11:24am chresti: Hi Bob and bobbers
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: "Cristo Redentor" was one of the tunes I heard often on early 70s 24-hour jazz giant in LA, KBCA-FM. Still a fave.

	🥁 11:27am chresti: Hi Andrew in TOkins!
	11:28am adamdoesit: Hi Bob and brain trust. We had to put down our lovely cat this week, and are gradually coming to the conclusion that the best tribute to her would be to welcome a new kitty into our lives. We miss you, Ann Kittenplan. You made this place a home.
	11:28am HARMONIE: About 4 inches here in Warminster,PA
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Hi, Adamdoesit
	11:29am Soule: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 So sorry to hear that.

	11:31am Bob Brainen: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 Aw, Adam, so sorry for your loss. Everyone's different but I can't survive a loss without getting a new kit/cat. To replace the irreplacable.
	11:31am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cristo Redentor" by "Harvey Mandel" There's a version of this on the Cannonball Adderly Fiddler on the Roof album, called Sabbath Prayer. Beautiful tune!
	11:31am Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:23 Glad to know it wasn't just me - that sounded garbled on my speaker too.
	11:32am Gerry from Miami: So weird that everything has been crystal clear today except for the ROLLINS cut. Oh, well. I have that LP if I really want to hear that tune. I'll pass for now, maybe check the Archive later. Keep up the great show! More MOTOWN later, I see. Any musical nod toward the holidays?

	🥁 11:32am RobbieWhite: i am really sorry Adam

	11:35am doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:32 Sonny sounded ok here...
	11:36am StringOFperils: The great cat continuum receives and returns all the cats. The flame of cat permanence flickers in every cat’s eyes. You will meet again.
	11:37am adamdoesit: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:31 Thanks so much, Bob. I wanted to mention it because I know you keep the feline flame alive. (It is a flame, isn't it SOp?) Thanks Soule, Robbie, SOp, all.

	11:57am Bob Brainen: Hey, Jeff
	12:05pm adamdoesit: ↳ chresti @11:52 chresti, I like that so much. AiT, I was kind of thinking that the week before Christmas would be peak adoption season, but you may be right.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ adamdoesit @12:05 You and your family will make a kitty very happy.
	12:08pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, it almost seems like there are more cat lovers here today than music buffs. Equal time for our animal friends.
	12:11pm ∫ydniuß: Hi Bob & assembled adventurers! Love me a grit. Cheesy Grits? 🤤
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Only ever had eggs and grits (they’re on the side) and (what is known as) sausage once, in some nondescript diner near the old bus depot in Chicago. Interesting, grits. Not really my thing.
	12:14pm Soule: I've been watching the San Francisco SPCA's Kitten Cam for entertainment. It's on from 9 to 6 PST every day. The kittens are on a nap break now. www.sfspca.org...
	12:16pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ StringOFperils @12:13 Grits & butter nom noms (not everybody’s thing)

	12:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Big Wheel" by "Howard Crockett" Motown??!!?

	🥁 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eye... More evidence that, for the most part, the Supremes’ best work and biggest hits don’t have much of an intersection.
	12:31pm gene sculatti: Irresistible Smokey track.
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, Gene Sculatti
	🥁 12:33pm duke: Just about anything from Martha Reeves and the Vandellas will get you dancing
	12:35pm Bob Brainen: hey, duke
	12:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He's Got The Whole World (In His Hands)" by "Liz ... Shattered my glass vase...
	12:40pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:40 lol
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Leaving Here" by "Eddie Holland" Hi Bob! Love this original version. I'm only familiar with the cover by Motorhead.
	12:43pm Gerry from Miami: Gosh, these MOTOWN songs are so infectious! Flashbacks to high school and college years.
	12:50pm StringOFperils: Deep childhood for me, this stuff…early 60s
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Franco. Thanks, I did not know the cover.
	12:57pm StringOFperils: Listen to that bass player!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by "Temptations" ;- )
	1:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by "Temptations" Never saw The Temptations, but I saw Jerry Garcia sing this song!
	1:08pm Gerry from Miami: Loved Liz Lands' version of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." But the definitive rendering of that anthem was the LAURIE LONDON recording that reached #2 on Billboard in 1958. This young 13-year old boy from London appeared on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW and mightily impressed me, an 11-year old at the time. Wonder if he's still with us.
	1:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Be A Cry baby" by "Joanie & The Triangles" Popsicles Icicles comes to mind hearing this...
	1:15pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. DEFINITELY! That Popsicles song was rendered by the MURMAIDS. Similar sound, for sure!
	🥁 1:19pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Right Now" by "Sammy Turner" Nature Boy
	🥁 1:20pm chresti: ↳ chresti @1:19 a little bit
	1:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Give Me A Kiss" by "Hornets" Wonder what they were thinking of when they cut this...
	1:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Give Me A Kiss" by "Hornets" Shameless chord/riff steal!
	🥁 1:21pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @1:20 They thought Beatle mania
	1:22pm JoeChrisMorris: Just enjoying the show
	1:22pm sydniuß: 🪲 zomg such theft
	1:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You're A Wonderful One" by "Marvin Gaye" Marvin Gaye, fab! (on the stealing/lifting theme, hear some "Memphis" in the guitars...)
	1:23pm SecretSquirrel: That kiss (not Kiss) song! How’d they get away with that? Fair use/parody I guess
	1:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @1:23 (But you could make the case it's a well-worn blues riff)
	1:24pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ doctorjazz @1:20 Not to mention the worst rhyme of all time: "Egypt/ don't want to see me gypped"
	1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:24 ;- )
	1:27pm Gerry from Miami: JOANIE of Joanie and the Triangles was a hit American vocalist who had a hit with " Johnny, Get Angry." She did those PEPSI commercials that brought us the catchphrase, "For those who think young!" The Triangles were a British group backing upJoanie on this recording.
	1:29pm Gerry from Miami: OOPS! Forgot to post JOANIE SOMMERS' last name!!
	1:32pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ doctorjazz @1:23 Plus a large percentage of Jimmy Reed songs.
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar. Jimmy Reed, yes! And I forgot about Memphis but my guess is that the chord pattern was around a long time before that song.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 Hey, Bob! Late to the party but glad to be here.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Off Minor" by "Thelonious Moog" Makes me smile (Monk does genrally, this gets an extra wide one)!
	1:43pm SecretSquirrel: Wow!! Love this cover, it’s already one of my fave Monk tunes
	1:44pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Good People. Happy Solstice !
	1:44pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Off Minor" by "Thelonious Moog" ⭐️ so much love the genre tour
	1:48pm Bob Brainen: Happy solstice to you, Michael 98145
	🥁 1:53pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @1:34 What another excellent show! Thankd, Bob!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr. And Mrs. People" by "Ornette Coleman" Ed Blackwell on drums (and Haden, Cherry and Ornette, of course); love the way the drums just bounce!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, loved the show! Happy Healthy to all!
	🥁 1:55pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks for the Saturday treat, Bob. Happy Festivus to all.
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Endnote----Laurie London, who charted "Whole World in His Hands" in 1958, turns 81 next month. Hang in there, sir!
	1:56pm Soule: Fun show, Bob - thanks!

	1:57pm doctorjazz: (Actually have barely moved from my listening position in the past 3 hours, been fun!)
