Listener comments!
9:01am : m.youtube.com/watch?v=-dlCnQ7lBcE9:01am : Good morning.9:02am : Good morning, Bob and all. And, what the hey, Happy Bloomsday!9:03am : I forgot it was Bloomsday. I'll have to take out my copy of Ulysses later.9:09am : Good Morning Bob & All Listeners. Hey Jeff!9:13am : Hard to believe that Roy Wood is playing all the instruments on this song.9:13am : Roy!!9:20am : Damn! No one could wail like Tim Buckley (except, perhaps, his son Jeff).9:24am : On a future show, you should play Richard Kiley's version of a "Oh What a Beautiful Morning".9:29am : Mornin' Mr. B & all!9:34am : The world needs more show tunes.9:37am : Missed Hank Marr. From Cbus.🥁 9:38am : Morning Bob and all. Sad to hear about Jon Hiseman. DJ Fontana RIP as well.9:38am : Glad to hear a tribute to Jon Hiseman. One of the most underrated drummers ever. This solo says it all:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EocPTLFvFPk9:43am : Nice to hear Jack Bruce in a jazz context... Stand up bass, sounds like.🥁 9:45am : It's pretty hard to cover Jackie Wilson and do a decent job. This isn't bad.10:03am : Yup, me too! NRBQ introduced me to Piano Red -- I have that CD.10:26am : Woah. I remember that Jack In The Box jingle. If I remember correctly, one of the TV ads ended with a family in a convertible pulling through the drive-thru with a naked kid sitting on the car. (Come as you like, come as you are). I feel like I must be mis-remembering. Does that sound familiar to anyone?10:27am : The implication being that you didn't have to get dressed up to go out to eat. You could just drive through and pick up your food.10:39am : CLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!! You read my mind Bob10:42am : Wait. “Will you marry me uncle ray?”10:42am : Dude. Creepy🥁 10:42am : The lyrics to this song: disturbing.10:52am : Nah, it was a more innocent era. Hey, Memphis by Chuck Berry, how old Was Marie? Like a "Mommy I want to marry you" sentiment....wait, that is creepy...10:54am : Hey Doc, drove from Bklyn to NJ listening to WFMU all the way.
Thanks for making the drive more pleasant, Bob!11:01am : Thanks BB!1:09pm : Remembering passing up the burgers for the far tastier, upscale Jack in the Box "steak" sandwich in upstate New Paltz. Today the nearest locations are NC and Indianapolis (where in Ohio?), whatever their target market is.1:25pm : always good to hear Moby Grape, Bob!11:33am : I think the top Jack in the Box burger was $1.89, the deluxe "steak" sandwich $2.29-$2.49 - worth the price difference7:37pm : Can't stop listening to the Church song - sister
