Listener comments!
9:02am : Good morning, Bob and all. Looking forward to celebrating this glorious spring morning in the northeast with you.9:04am : Morning Bob and others!9:05am : h’m h’lo9:08am : Good morning.9:08am : good morning Bob & listeners! what a lovely day!9:09am : Oi! Only 72. I was a big fan of Spooky Tooth although I must admit I thought it was Paul Rodgers you were playing at first. Another sad tribute day. Thanks for remembering Bob.9:13am : Their version of "I am the walrus" is a classic!9:15am : Bob - Thanks for the Spooky Tooth. Haven't heard them for a while. Enjoying your show from the mountains in VT. Keep free form alive.9:16am : I never considered this re-imagined as a march. How...great.9:17am : A very dignified Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep to you and yours!9:20am : One of my fav Dr John tracks.9:24am : Wow--reading up on Spooky Tooth and had no idea how many other bands they seeded.9:28am : great canned heat - blind owl wilson - very under appreciated harp player9:41am : REM's version of this song is one of my favorite REM recordings.9:41am : PYLON!! The Athens sound. And the 45 sounds very different from the album version.9:43am : I picked up spooky two and the mirror at the record fair years ago on a whim. I dig both. Spooky two definitely the stronger album but I like the artwork on the mirror better9:45am : well, 'the man with the cigar' is my favorite record of all time at this moment. thanks Bob!9:50am : That "Rhythmical Interruption" sounded like the bed music Irwin used to play between pieces of Incorrect Music, or maybe it was Atrocious Music. I always imagined the lyrics to go with the horns saying, "There! Take that!"9:52am : Fats kicking out the jams! Is that Hardesty on the sax?9:55am : Good Saturday to you all. Love Ida Lupino...🥁 9:59am : "Musicians and audience alike were confused at the totally new direction the music had taken. One person was not. John Coltrane was sitting at the back of the club and the impact on him was amazing. He ran right up to the stage shouting, 'John Gilmore, John Gilmore, you motherfucker. You got it, you got the concept!'"10:00am : Nice to hear Gilmore in a new setting, will have to check out. Thanks Bob, great show!10:00am : Hey, it's Bob Brainen!10:04am : Good morning Bob! Good morning all! GOOD MORNING GREG! What’s/who’s the organ music playing behind you?🥁 10:05am : Hello Bob. Good cover of David Ackles 'Down River' .10:06am : my neighbor Gary Peacock is a brilliant bassist. a bit fancy, but brilliant.10:09am : young musicians travel to our valley on pilgrimage to meet him. sadly he's mainly deaf now ~10:09am : There are TV shows listed on IMDB.10:10am : (or possibly just acts that way)🥁 10:12am : The hammered dulcimer!10:13am : loved this one as soon as i heard it ~ not long after it came out. had someone buy the single for me (too young for purchases). forget the A side. this was the B side.10:14am : Aaron! We're inside of 3 weeks til GBV!10:14am : Brian Jones was just brilliant. heart & soul of this young band. sad story.🥁 10:16am : Linda, agree. Aftermath is a great album. Goin'Home notwithstanding.
Arthur Lee tried to copy it with Revelation on Da Capo.10:16am : Stones in troubador mode. Brian Jones was brilliant.10:17am : i don't even mind Goin Home. i like the vibe.10:18am : Good morning Bob!🥁 10:19am : Linda it showed how confident they were by then to include an eleven minute track amongst all the pop.10:19am : Thanks for The Spoonful Dr. Robert!🥁 10:20am : Hello Amanda, your Lovin' Spoonful radar turned up!!10:24am : you bet. given lots of freedom as well10:25am : turned out to be a good bet10:25am : @Linda Lee - Mother's Little Helper was the A-side for Lady Jane.10:26am : right! thanks.🥁 10:36am : Don't forget Nilsson's Rainmaker.🥁 10:38am : ...and he arranged David Ackles' American Gothic. Here I go again.10:53am : Good week for Pretty Ballerina covers...someone played the Alice Cooper the other day.10:55am : I love that "mountain is moving" verse. It really encapsulates the sense of urgency of the many unrequited crushes of my youth.
