Tell us a little bit about this Sun Ra remix cd, Bob if you would. Thanks.

Oh, Brainen meets Sun Ra DJ dust-up, eh? Sounds interesting!

Great show so far Bob. Left Banke, Nick Drake. Haven't heard this Moby Grape cut in many years!
  9:29am Jack:

Don't forget some of the string arrangements on Spirits' first album, and the second as well. Arranged by Lou Adler?
  9:48am moe:

Do we thank Eleanor Rigby for all the chamber pop?

You have the right strings, and the right yo-yo's...great show

Exceptionally good mix of music today, Mr. B.
  10:20am Wendy del Formaggio:

Bob, your shows make waking up early on Saturday a real treat. You really are a free-form DJ, in the best meaning of the term. The songs are of different styles, but they blend together so nicely.

Great tunes this afternoon!! Sitting in the hothothot sun in London and digin' it, thanks a heap!!
