Listener comments!
9:06am : Good morning, Bob. I have Them! coming in the mail later today. I'm very excited.9:17am : Hey Bob, my brand new headphones (K240 Studio) are loving your show. The headphones and I are three hours into a 12-hour shift.9:25am : Bob, was it you who ended your show in the 80s with Sondheim doing his own version of "Whistle"?9:26am : how do you like them, scott? Those were candidates the last time I was in the market.9:38am : Mike, loving them so far. Light, great sound, no frills. Cord is maybe too long but so what. One possible minus is that they're open so if you use them in an office you can't really crank it up to eleven.9:45am : ah yes, that would also be a problem trying to listen to something in bed next to my sleeping wife. thanks for the tip.
I just had a the TV on with no volume (I just got an antenna) and it was a public access station playing an organ performance by Diane Bish (google her if you don't know what she looks like) with Memphis Black providing the sound track. rofl9:49am : She's on WFME-TV channel 66-19:51am : Bitter Wind-single mix? Even weirder than the Lp version.9:52am : Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo!10:04am : Come back Joey Joe Joe!10:18am : Hey! It's a party!10:20am : let's rock baby10:24am : I've always wondered how this Cream song wound up debuting in a biker film ("The Savage Seven" possibly?), much less in a biker film produced by Dick Clark ?!?10:26am : Also great to hear Emitt Rhodes' voice as an opener to my foggy Californian morning. Thanks, Bob.10:27am : Cream did this song on the Smothers Brothers show. Priceless!10:30am : When my parents got their first color TV, the first thing I saw on it was The Who on the Smothers Brothers. Moon's purple smoke bombs, v psychedelic!10:39am : Of course we all remember Lily Munster singing He's Gone Away - so Orphean10:43am : This Pee Wee homage is of course largely a rip-off of Monk's "Ask Me Now," which if memory serves Pee Wee Russell once recorded. By the way, does anyone else think Tanya Haden's voice sounds like Carole King's?10:44am : Starsailor! This song always stuck out amidst extended pieces like "The Healing Festival." Tim Buckley could do just about anything with his voice.10:44am : Agreed about that particular pet peeve… it would leave me stymied in a record store when I was a kid… blood simmering, feeling like they were trying rip me off…same with the edited versions on Ktel comps. Great show!10:45am : Thanks for the Bud Powell. Please play more of his ilk,10:47am : H10:48am : F10:48am : Re: Pet peeve. The fact that it was a promo copy prob accounts for the same song on both sides thing.10:49am : V10:49am : V10:50am : To10:51am : More cooool stuff. Bernstein does Copland.10:53am : Dancing shoes are on!!10:57am : Whooooooeeeeeeeee, the tunes are getting me moving!11:02am : Thanks
