Listener comments!
9:02am : Good morning, Bob and all!9:03am : QMS! Thanks bb! And good morning! 8-)9:05am : Bob would never spoil your party.9:05am : I cannot play this QMS track loud enough!9:06am : Double QMS--total ear candy!9:20am : I keep thinking Gene Clark sounds like Scott Walker.9:21am : this is beautiful, also🥁 9:21am : Morning Bob and all. Bob Dorough RIP.9:29am : Always like hearing Steve Gillette. This Jo Stafford too.9:29am : Morning Bob. Love your show. New Gene Clark LP:
www.rollingstone.com...9:32am : Good Morning Bob! Everyone!9:33am : I remember being at a gig at the Bottom Line years ago for a gig by a British folk artist (might have been Richard Thompson solo). He played Shenandoah expecting the audience to join in on the chorus. It’s such a moving iconic American song, but the crowd didn’t have a clue. I guess America is just too big. In England, they would have all joined in weeping into their pints of ale.9:37am : Jon Brion has worked with Kanye West.
I think I’ll draw my line there9:37am : I was disappointed by Synecdoche NY9:38am : jo stafford always gets my heart9:42am : That was a great track by Rachel Verney..9:43am : Thx for playing Jo Stafford, Bob.
The Shenandoah by RT is I believe on one of the live @ TBL w/Vin Scelsa CDs - with Dave Alvin backing?9:44am : Just saw that Quicksilver recently toured with Jefferson Starship, has anyone seen them live?🥁 9:45am : Bob, have you heard the unreleased Jim Murray album produced by John Cippolina?9:48am : My favorite Q cut since i was 59:51am : David Freiberg has been playing w/Jefferson Starship for a number of years now. I saw him and Gary Duncan perform live as QMS. They were good, but it ain’t the same without Cippolina, Valenti and, even, Hopkins.9:53am : Hey Jeff!9:57am : quickly: thanks everyone...Jeff, jeez gotta agree...Wm. from D....heard Jim Murray album, wish I liked it more...gotta reinvestigate!9:58am : Hey Doc!🥁 10:02am : The story behind the Jim Murray sessions is a lot more interesting than the actual music. Sad to say.10:10am : Hal Cornbread Singer is still alive!!!
He’s 98!10:13am : its not a show if no NRBQ is being played!10:16am : I always thought John was channelling his inner love of the Goons in this.10:17am : As a child I thought this was the best! I still do!10:17am : Brian on Sax!🥁 10:19am : Brian Jones reliving his trad jazz youth.10:26am : what is the story on how nothing like you ended up on sorcerer? love that song and that it’s on there!🥁 10:30am : Dorough showed up in some kooky places. Vocal arranging on Fugs and Pearls Before Swine stuff.10:30am : Just picked up Bob Dorough's Devil May Care on Bethlehem Records... great sounding recordings
