Listener comments!
9:05am : Good morning, Bob and all. Looking forward to your spins to brighten this gloomy Saturday in the NY metro area.9:08am : 'dust' from this fleetwood album is stunning.9:10am : all hail bare trees9:14am : Yes,Dale, Dust is a beautiful song. Danny Kirwan had the good taste to take the lyric from a moving poem.9:20am : Danny Kirwan's songwriting definitely gets overshadowed. I finally heard his solo LP "Second Chapter" -- a lot of pop chops there from the bluesy guitarist9:20am : Have seen 'D.O.A.' many times and have never gotten used to the weird random sound effects (eg. wolf whistles).9:20am : Good Morning Bob & Co. - so good to hear the master on the air - all is right with the universe once again.9:21am : Classic Dion! Mornin' bb & all!9:21am : Always interesting to hear post-Belmonts Dion.9:25am : This Dion - to think the bYRdS' 1st album wasn't out til June '65. no 'Rubber Soul' til Dec. FolkRawk didn't even exist for most people yet...& it's beautiful! A work literally too ahead of its' time.9:25am : This is an archetypal Bob set. All over the musical map and yet it all hangs together.🥁 9:27am : Mornin' all. Nice to hear Lloyd McNeill. Is this the only recent reissue of his stuff?9:33am : Aquarium Rescue Unit🥁 9:38am : There's a great Skip Bifferty tune used briefly in the film "Smashing Time".9:41am : Loved that trombone. Mott the Hoople does a great cover of Dion's In My Own Backyard. Excellent show Bob. Happy Mother's Day weekend my FMU family ; )9:44am : Good morning everyone.9:46am : Hiya, Bob, and all.9:49am : WHOA! That Soul Sisters track smoked!9:51am : Crampton Sisters...what a great love song!9:53am : i bought this sound gallery cd in the day - the lounge core explosion in the 90s was pretty fun.🥁 9:55am : Hello all. Gloomy clouds in Maryland too. Thanks for brightening Saturday morning Bob!10:10am : i have that you are what you eat - the rosko 'nazi helmet commercial' is great.10:11am : John Simon! You Are What You Eat! "My Name Is Jack"🥁 10:15am : The Strawberry Statement.10:25am : My aunt used to sing My Name Is Jack, and had to explain the album to us.10:28am : Hey Bob, I'm guessing you watched Then Came Bronson back in '69-'70.
I know I did, and I loved it.
Michael Parks died this week. He was a prettty good singer too.10:35am : Remember Parks singing "Long Lonesome Highway"? Can't think of any other television show whose theme was sung by the main actor (although there probably were some).10:38am : I have a Michael Parks LP somewhere.
He was on the Johnny Cash show back around 1970. You can check it out on YouTube10:40am : 1whoknew -
www.metv.com...10:43am : Matthew!!!10:46am : Thank you Bob, you made my morning!10:50am : Great stuff, per usual. It's like I grew up listening to you. Familiar, even though I've maybe heard 1/3 of your selections. My Saturday is off to a great start.10:52am : Not that it means too much but the great Procal Harum will never make it into the R'n'R Hall of Fame.10:55am : good show - thanks!10:58am : Juana Molina : Outstanding!10:58am : Juana Molina - Forever!
