Listener comments!
9:13am : Isn't "The Nightingale" on that Jo Stafford album? A song which served as a melodic template for Dylan's "With God On Our Side"9:27am : Write back, great track.9:40am : The TV show w/Sandy Becker was Wonderama...I learned of
Hambone there too!10:03am : lenny kaye will be in strousdburg pa today. Main Street Jukebox. The store burned down around 6 years ago and was reborn. amazing that it was possible.10:06am : Hi Bob,
I'll be gamboling over to Jerry's Records (http://www.jerrysrecords.com/) here in Pittsburgh. Miraculously, I live only two blocks away. Jerry's is still fiercely vinyl only. In fact, one large segment of the place is devoted to 78s and another to turntable repair.10:06am : Mystery Train in Amherst, MA; Turn It Up! in Northampton, MA; Instant Karma in Orleans, MA10:07am : To celebrate Record Store Day, I'm going to In The Moment Records and Turn It Up! in Brattleboro, Vermont. Look for me, I'm wearing my "Escuche!" FMU shirt. :-)10:08am : e.p. - I haven't been to Mystery Train since I moved back. So glad it's still there!10:12am : even though I'm not going to either today, I'll rep for Flip Side Records in Pompton Lakes, NJ and also Infinity Records in Massapequa Park, NY.10:14am : Bob, good morning,
I saw THE very first Sandy Becker show,---Wonderama--1st host, on Dumont Broadcasting, ch. 5. Loved him ever since.10:14am : Hey mrmucho - I'm in Pompton Plains, across the highway. Haven't heard of Flip Side. Where's it at?10:16am : the Flip Side is on Wanaque Ave, towards the north side of town. It's mostly used vinyl.10:17am : Sandy Becker hosted Wonderama briefly in the mid-'50s, but he's better remembered for his own show. The two long-term Wonderama hosts were Sonny Fox, who hosted for much of the '60s, and Bob McAllister, who replaced him in 1967 and hosted until the show ended in the mid-'70s10:18am : The Blacksmith!10:21am : So beautiful10:24am : nice! that's mostly what I buy...usually at Sound Exchange on 23, but their aisles are really narrow, and the records are on the floor underneath the cd racks. It kills the knees!10:26am : Vinyl Revolution in Monteray, CA is THE best and Bob Gamber is THE man! Go check 'em out today!10:29am : you'll do a bit of flexing at Flip Side too since it's a small store, but its prices and stock destroy Sound Exchange. It's not even close.10:31am : cool. Thanks so much for the tip. I'll definitely be checking it out. Gonna try to head to Generation Records in the city today. Some FMU djs spinning this afternoon.10:39am : Love this show!10:39am : record den - Teaneck NJ 70's
Ave. J - Brooklyn 60"s10:41am : Nice Family track.10:47am : yes! vinyl revolution in monterey, ca...the shop has been there for almost 20 years. if you're in the monterey bay area be sure to stop in, you'll be glad you did!10:51am : There are two more jems: Jack's Music in Red Bank & Hold Fast in Asbury Park!!!!10:53am : Greetings Bob, brilliant segway from rock into hard bop! Enjoying your show. Hope to see you at the FMU record fair or the Record Riot show in Brooklyn tomorrow. ATB, old comrade, Marc7:59pm : Hey Bob! A record store from the midwest ZZZ's records in Des Moines. I live on Brattleboro ave in the city.
