	11:25am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! Dang! Missed one of my favorite Mott the Hoople songs! But hearing some Leo Kottke makes up for it! Some kind of a slide player he is!
	♥ 11:26am zzz: good (very cold but very sunny!) morning to DJ BB and all, everything sounding great
	11:26am SmokinJ: bb! You rock brother! Hello faithful! 8-)
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: And now a piece from, in my opinion, the best Beefheart album ever, "Lick My Decals Off, Baby!" You're killing it today, Sir Brainiac!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!

	11:36am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:38am PT: You weren’t kidding, BB, Dennis Thompson demolishes his drumkit on Skunk! Final track on the final (legit) MC5 album, and a killer sendoff.
	11:38am dan: Sounds like Nico singing
	11:39am Bob Brainen: PT!

	11:42am Jeff: Hey, I ain’t bragging, but I’ve seen every artist played during the first set live EXCEPT Hank Levine and his Orchestra. Might’ve seen Tim Leary in another dimension
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Natalie!
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: A little "baroque" rock from the 60s. I remember an album(that sold very well, I might add) on Nonesuch called "The Baroque Beatles Book." Nonesuch was the classical arm of Elektra back then.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am listener 126464: Good day, Bob, everyone!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: listener 126464!
	11:53am Patrick: Hello Bob.Great song.Spent too many years on graveyard shift.Nothing more fun than standing on a Philadelphia street corner 1030 at night waiting for a bus.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Patrick!
	♥ 11:58am wmfromD: That weird tympani hit. Great song.
	♥ 12:00pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone! Love Curt Boettcher!
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: pgalub!
	♥ 12:03pm chresti: Franco's in the next room video conferencing with a health coach. She played I Feel Good for the dancing portion of the class.
	♥ 12:03pm DonJuanTijuana: Hey Bob, Remembered to drop in to check out some groovy sounds!
	12:04pm Robbie White: That Russell Potter song is A+++
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: DonJuanTijuana!
	♥ 12:05pm Will the Sound Guy: hello Bob and all!!!
	♥ 12:06pm Will the Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	♥ 12:07pm chresti: Hi Will and Charlotte, (Char or Lotte, for short?)
	♥ 12:08pm Will the Sound Guy: Cathy and I prefer Char... we'll see what she likes when she's older... not alot of input at 12days
	♥ 12:09pm Will the Sound Guy: pronounced as shar
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 12:11pm chresti: Shar is how I pronounced it in my head.
	♥ 12:11pm Yes: hey bob. afternoon all
	♥ 12:11pm Will the Sound Guy: yea, otherwise it just sounds like burnt wood... lol
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: Yes!
	12:12pm Robbie White: Open The Door Richard reminds me of NRBQ
	♥ 12:14pm Will the Sound Guy: kinda has a woody woodpecker hidden in the tune
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: Ben Smith, don't know the name, cool track (does have a bit of Woody Woodpecker in there...)
	♥ 12:16pm chresti: I was gonna say with the burnt wood pronunciation, it could turn into "Woody"
	12:22pm Gerry from Miami: Bob, I heard you utter the Magic word, "McVouty." You should drop some Slim Gaillard on us where he sings in this "far out" jazzy language he invented called "Vout-o-reenee." I actually saw a short dictionary Gaillard wrote for this made-up "jive talk." Very interesting and funny!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: I can't be the only listener who heard Woody Woodpecker in the ha-ha-ha-ha-ha piece a few back.
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: Will and doc heard it too, Robert
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert!
	12:29pm Listener Robert: Ha, could've saved myself some trouble by looking at the comments line earlier!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: I mean the comments THREAD.
	♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz: Yee HaH!
	12:34pm Listener Robert: But I do hear a lot of things in a lot of things. Sometimes they're resemblances nobody else thinks are resemblances. Other times they're clever quotes, like those two from the "Mothers-in-Law" theme that i heard in a fairly recent piece someone here played about a couple years ago.
	♥ 12:38pm chresti: LR same here, always recognize things in other things song-wise
	♥ 12:40pm chresti: *it means you are a good listener
	♥ 12:40pm Will the Sound Guy: 🎶👍🐸🐸🐸
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It was "Spectrum" by Atomic Forest that was played on 3 different WFMU programs in early February of 2020. You know they had to have put that in for some nut like me to recognize, and they made it difficult by disguising it but clearly were not ripping it off.
	♥ 12:41pm chresti: Baby Dodds reminded me of Moondog
	12:42pm (Mr) Bill: Better late than never....
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Do any of the rest of you ever notice these things that constitute almost inside jokes in music -- not truly inside, because it's all PUBLIC knowledge, but just OBSCURE AND OBSCURED? Like they want to see who gets it?
	♥ 12:47pm Will the Sound Guy: I definitely hear things inside of other things... eg: the same beat, bass line, or melody... sometimes when a sample contains something, I'll hear both the original song and the song with the sample including lyrics in my head.
	12:47pm Bob Brainen: (Mr)Bill!
	♥ 12:48pm DonJuanTijuana: Great tunes selection Bob! Really enjoying these on a Sat afternoon.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, are you talking when artists quote other pieces of music, like the Jazz cats do?
	12:52pm Listener Robert: Yes, exactly, Bob. But especially when they quote in ways that very few will recognize, but they're hoping some will catch on and maybe chuckle a bit. Friends think I don't really appreciate art because I approach it analytically, as a scientist. It's just the kick I get out of it.
	♥ 12:52pm chresti: I love it when jazz cats quote other songs.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: And then there are times I suspect pieces of actually being ripped off, like Knotwork's (Blood Axis) music to go with "Wulf and Eadacher" that sounds so much like Morton Gould's main theme to "World War 1".
	12:56pm Listener Robert: I was at a performance of theirs and they denied knowledge of that predecessor piece of music, which I think WAS before their time and that, as a theme to a documentary TV series, they'd've had no reason to hear repeated years later.
	♥ 12:59pm chresti: Maybe you could be an "expert witness" for copyright cases, LR.
	♥ 12:59pm doctorjazz: I'm big on catching quotes, references, similarities, "borrowings". It's likely they're not all deliberate (there are only 12 notes, and stuff one hears early in life likely hangs out somewhere in the grey matter), but it's fun noticing these things. Yesterday Doug played a free jazz track by a group called Fire!, which used a bass line with 1 note jumped an octave apart, sounded just like "My Sharona" to me (which of course I posted).
	1:01pm Listener Robert: The resemblance NOBODY else hears because it's at such a high degree of abstraction is that of "Promises" by Barreracudas to "You May Think I'm Crazy" by the Cars.
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: I think it's fair game if it's 3 bars?
	♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: I love You May Think...by the Cars, don't know Promises, will have to check it out on the Tube of the You...
	1:03pm Listener Robert: Chresti, I was empaneled for a jury for a VISUAL copyright case, but I wasn't selected. I have too much interest and experience from both sides to be picked as a juror.
	♥ 1:04pm doctorjazz: It can be a fine line between rip off and fair use/homage/influence. Just ask the George Harrison Estate.
	1:05pm Listener Robert: Doctorjazz, I'd suggest either SoundCloud or WFMU archives to do that comparison. But YouTube does have the video of "You May Think I'm Crazy".
	♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: I have the Cars album with it, but I'll search the archives of FMU later, of course, can't cut out on Andrew Hill)
	1:10pm Listener Robert: This is also why Peter Schickele gets a rise out of me.
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: I think giving credit to the source gets you off the hook.
	♥ 1:13pm doctorjazz: LR-is it this track at 0:23:29 wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:14pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	♥ 1:15pm listener james from westwood: First version of "The Joker" I heard was from my mom's Mendes/Brasil '66 collection. Very much dug today's version!
	1:16pm Listener Robert: Doctorjazz, I was listening to that program yesterday, but I don't remember that piece that I see was around 10 AM, although I may have noted it mentally at the time. Got to listen again.
	♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: I did take a listen to that track, Promises, it must be the one you're referencing LR. I hear what you hear-most of the song is not the same, but the verse does have the same chords, melody, and feel of the verses of the Cars song.
	♥ 1:19pm doctorjazz: That part DOES jump out, though.
	♥ 1:19pm Yes: 😎
	1:20pm Listener Robert: Oh, "Promises" got a LOT of play on WFMU when it was new. Its CD cover is a cute copy of that of the otherwise unrelated "Promises, Promises".
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Right, the relationship is THEMATIC. The subject matter of the lyrics, the electronic sounds, other things about it evoke the FEELING of the Cars.
	♥ 1:24pm doctorjazz: Where else can you go from Herbie Nichols to Dirty Dog, I ask you?
	♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: ...to I Do, I'm Kvelling!
	1:26pm Listener Robert: Where else? Oh, probably on Gaylord Fields, or various other select company here.
	1:28pm Listener Robert: But they wouldn't go from there to sound track music!
	♥ 1:29pm doctorjazz: True, I meant all FMU in my "where else". I'd probably put The Barreracudas Promises in the sly tribute/inside joke category. They likely put it in knowingly, with a wink to anyone who caught it.
	♥ 1:33pm doctorjazz: Trying to get some boring reading I need to do for work done, show is NOT helping any.
	1:38pm Listener Robert: No way I'd've found "Sharona" in that, doctorjazz. That's an ear!
	♥ 1:38pm Will the Sound Guy: LR & DrJ that's a big reason why I listen to many programs on WFMU and the streams. there is such a diversity amongst all the DJ'S and programs that I can keep all my music needs in check. I like many different things for different reasons... Sometimes similarities, borrowing, name checks, nods, subtitle references, obvious grabs, quick samples, ect are explained... other times they are just hanging in the breeze. Such an incredible vault of knowledge between the DJ'S and the commenting listeners...
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm listener 126464: It's OK to like Nick Lowe.
	♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: I've always really liked Nick Lowe, has that become controversial? (now, liking Rod Stewart, that could be an issue, at least after Early Rod).
	♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: Watta Voice on Mare Berger!
	♥ 1:51pm doctorjazz: (one of those pretty-ugly voice that is really moving)
	♥ 1:52pm doctorjazz: Only available as a download on Bandcamp, sad (for this physical media guy) marielberger.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 1:52pm Will the Sound Guy: yea, this easy to listen to...
	♥ 1:53pm doctorjazz: You can see by my comments how much time I'm spending in my reading assignment...
	1:55pm dan: Great show Bob
	♥ 1:56pm Will the Sound Guy: yes, you can tell by my comments how many shelves I've been building and how many things I've moved from upstairs to the basement... been on the Couch listening to the tunes that Bob has been playing for us! Thank you Bob for the tunes!!!
	♥ 1:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks for interfering with my reading, Bob, great music! (teach me to have FMU on when trying to get something like this done).
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm listener 126464: Great show, thanks Bob.
	1:56pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks for making a cold and sunny day warm and sunnier, Bob.
	1:57pm duke: Thanks Bob
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks Bob
	♥ 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	♥ 1:58pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Bob!!
	♥ 1:58pm Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob! I've been listening while doing my Saturday stuff!
	♥ 1:58pm Yes: thanks bob!
	♥ 3:51pm Wendy S: Never heard of Ray Mason - very cool song :)

	11:22am dan: Is this where the Perry Como song lifted it's hook from?
	11:25am CalZone!: GM BB AND BRAINENIACS! Sorry I missed MTH but glad I caught the MC5 going fwd. Great launch set!
	11:25am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! Dang! Missed one of my favorite Mott the Hoople songs! But hearing some Leo Kottke makes up for it! Some kind of a slide player he is!
	♥ 11:26am zzz: good (very cold but very sunny!) morning to DJ BB and all, everything sounding great
	11:26am SmokinJ: bb! You rock brother! Hello faithful! 8-)
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: And now a piece from, in my opinion, the best Beefheart album ever, "Lick My Decals Off, Baby!" You're killing it today, Sir Brainiac!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: CalZone! (!)
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	11:30am gene sculatti: Great Kottke kut, Bob. New to me. Just bought it on iTunes. Thanx.
	11:32am Gerry from Miami: I have never seen that "outtakes: version of the Beefheart "Decals" set. Is it commercially available, an import maybe?
	♥ 11:32am listener james from westwood: Cats cats cats!
	11:34am TDK60: Memphis Slim, yet another Black American artist who went to Europe. Got more respect.
	11:36am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:38am PT: You weren’t kidding, BB, Dennis Thompson demolishes his drumkit on Skunk! Final track on the final (legit) MC5 album, and a killer sendoff.
	11:38am dan: Sounds like Nico singing
	11:39am Bob Brainen: PT!
	♥ 11:39am wmfromD: Mono!
	♥ 11:40am listener james from westwood: Left Banke!
	11:42am Natalie: These last two songs are giving me life, Bob. Thank you!
	11:42am Jeff: Hey, I ain’t bragging, but I’ve seen every artist played during the first set live EXCEPT Hank Levine and his Orchestra. Might’ve seen Tim Leary in another dimension
	11:42am Bob Brainen: Natalie!
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: A little "baroque" rock from the 60s. I remember an album(that sold very well, I might add) on Nonesuch called "The Baroque Beatles Book." Nonesuch was the classical arm of Elektra back then.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45am listener 126464: Good day, Bob, everyone!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: listener 126464!
	11:53am Patrick: Hello Bob.Great song.Spent too many years on graveyard shift.Nothing more fun than standing on a Philadelphia street corner 1030 at night waiting for a bus.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Patrick!
	♥ 11:58am wmfromD: That weird tympani hit. Great song.
	♥ 12:00pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone! Love Curt Boettcher!
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: pgalub!
	♥ 12:03pm chresti: Franco's in the next room video conferencing with a health coach. She played I Feel Good for the dancing portion of the class.
	♥ 12:03pm DonJuanTijuana: Hey Bob, Remembered to drop in to check out some groovy sounds!
	12:04pm Robbie White: That Russell Potter song is A+++
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: DonJuanTijuana!
	♥ 12:05pm Will the Sound Guy: hello Bob and all!!!
	♥ 12:06pm Will the Sound Guy: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	♥ 12:07pm chresti: Hi Will and Charlotte, (Char or Lotte, for short?)
	♥ 12:08pm Will the Sound Guy: Cathy and I prefer Char... we'll see what she likes when she's older... not alot of input at 12days
	♥ 12:09pm Will the Sound Guy: pronounced as shar
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 12:11pm chresti: Shar is how I pronounced it in my head.
	♥ 12:11pm Yes: hey bob. afternoon all
	♥ 12:11pm Will the Sound Guy: yea, otherwise it just sounds like burnt wood... lol
	12:12pm Bob Brainen: Yes!
	12:12pm Robbie White: Open The Door Richard reminds me of NRBQ
	♥ 12:14pm Will the Sound Guy: kinda has a woody woodpecker hidden in the tune
	♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: Ben Smith, don't know the name, cool track (does have a bit of Woody Woodpecker in there...)
	♥ 12:16pm chresti: I was gonna say with the burnt wood pronunciation, it could turn into "Woody"
	12:22pm Gerry from Miami: Bob, I heard you utter the Magic word, "McVouty." You should drop some Slim Gaillard on us where he sings in this "far out" jazzy language he invented called "Vout-o-reenee." I actually saw a short dictionary Gaillard wrote for this made-up "jive talk." Very interesting and funny!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: I can't be the only listener who heard Woody Woodpecker in the ha-ha-ha-ha-ha piece a few back.
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: Will and doc heard it too, Robert
	12:28pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert!
	12:29pm Listener Robert: Ha, could've saved myself some trouble by looking at the comments line earlier!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: I mean the comments THREAD.
	♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz: Yee HaH!
	12:34pm Listener Robert: But I do hear a lot of things in a lot of things. Sometimes they're resemblances nobody else thinks are resemblances. Other times they're clever quotes, like those two from the "Mothers-in-Law" theme that i heard in a fairly recent piece someone here played about a couple years ago.
	♥ 12:38pm chresti: LR same here, always recognize things in other things song-wise
	♥ 12:40pm chresti: *it means you are a good listener
	♥ 12:40pm Will the Sound Guy: 🎶👍🐸🐸🐸
	12:40pm Listener Robert: It was "Spectrum" by Atomic Forest that was played on 3 different WFMU programs in early February of 2020. You know they had to have put that in for some nut like me to recognize, and they made it difficult by disguising it but clearly were not ripping it off.
	♥ 12:41pm chresti: Baby Dodds reminded me of Moondog
	12:42pm (Mr) Bill: Better late than never....
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Do any of the rest of you ever notice these things that constitute almost inside jokes in music -- not truly inside, because it's all PUBLIC knowledge, but just OBSCURE AND OBSCURED? Like they want to see who gets it?
	♥ 12:47pm Will the Sound Guy: I definitely hear things inside of other things... eg: the same beat, bass line, or melody... sometimes when a sample contains something, I'll hear both the original song and the song with the sample including lyrics in my head.
	12:47pm Bob Brainen: (Mr)Bill!
	♥ 12:48pm DonJuanTijuana: Great tunes selection Bob! Really enjoying these on a Sat afternoon.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Listener Robert, are you talking when artists quote other pieces of music, like the Jazz cats do?
	12:52pm Listener Robert: Yes, exactly, Bob. But especially when they quote in ways that very few will recognize, but they're hoping some will catch on and maybe chuckle a bit. Friends think I don't really appreciate art because I approach it analytically, as a scientist. It's just the kick I get out of it.
	♥ 12:52pm chresti: I love it when jazz cats quote other songs.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: And then there are times I suspect pieces of actually being ripped off, like Knotwork's (Blood Axis) music to go with "Wulf and Eadacher" that sounds so much like Morton Gould's main theme to "World War 1".
	12:56pm Listener Robert: I was at a performance of theirs and they denied knowledge of that predecessor piece of music, which I think WAS before their time and that, as a theme to a documentary TV series, they'd've had no reason to hear repeated years later.
	♥ 12:59pm chresti: Maybe you could be an "expert witness" for copyright cases, LR.
	♥ 12:59pm doctorjazz: I'm big on catching quotes, references, similarities, "borrowings". It's likely they're not all deliberate (there are only 12 notes, and stuff one hears early in life likely hangs out somewhere in the grey matter), but it's fun noticing these things. Yesterday Doug played a free jazz track by a group called Fire!, which used a bass line with 1 note jumped an octave apart, sounded just like "My Sharona" to me (which of course I posted).
	1:01pm Listener Robert: The resemblance NOBODY else hears because it's at such a high degree of abstraction is that of "Promises" by Barreracudas to "You May Think I'm Crazy" by the Cars.
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: I think it's fair game if it's 3 bars?
	♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: I love You May Think...by the Cars, don't know Promises, will have to check it out on the Tube of the You...
	1:03pm Listener Robert: Chresti, I was empaneled for a jury for a VISUAL copyright case, but I wasn't selected. I have too much interest and experience from both sides to be picked as a juror.
	♥ 1:04pm doctorjazz: It can be a fine line between rip off and fair use/homage/influence. Just ask the George Harrison Estate.
	1:05pm Listener Robert: Doctorjazz, I'd suggest either SoundCloud or WFMU archives to do that comparison. But YouTube does have the video of "You May Think I'm Crazy".
	♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: I have the Cars album with it, but I'll search the archives of FMU later, of course, can't cut out on Andrew Hill)
	1:10pm Listener Robert: This is also why Peter Schickele gets a rise out of me.
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: I think giving credit to the source gets you off the hook.
	♥ 1:13pm doctorjazz: LR-is it this track at 0:23:29 wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:14pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	♥ 1:15pm listener james from westwood: First version of "The Joker" I heard was from my mom's Mendes/Brasil '66 collection. Very much dug today's version!
	1:16pm Listener Robert: Doctorjazz, I was listening to that program yesterday, but I don't remember that piece that I see was around 10 AM, although I may have noted it mentally at the time. Got to listen again.
	♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: I did take a listen to that track, Promises, it must be the one you're referencing LR. I hear what you hear-most of the song is not the same, but the verse does have the same chords, melody, and feel of the verses of the Cars song.
	♥ 1:19pm doctorjazz: That part DOES jump out, though.
	♥ 1:19pm Yes: 😎
	1:20pm Listener Robert: Oh, "Promises" got a LOT of play on WFMU when it was new. Its CD cover is a cute copy of that of the otherwise unrelated "Promises, Promises".
	1:22pm Listener Robert: Right, the relationship is THEMATIC. The subject matter of the lyrics, the electronic sounds, other things about it evoke the FEELING of the Cars.
	♥ 1:24pm doctorjazz: Where else can you go from Herbie Nichols to Dirty Dog, I ask you?
	♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: ...to I Do, I'm Kvelling!
	1:26pm Listener Robert: Where else? Oh, probably on Gaylord Fields, or various other select company here.
	1:28pm Listener Robert: But they wouldn't go from there to sound track music!
	♥ 1:29pm doctorjazz: True, I meant all FMU in my "where else". I'd probably put The Barreracudas Promises in the sly tribute/inside joke category. They likely put it in knowingly, with a wink to anyone who caught it.
	♥ 1:33pm doctorjazz: Trying to get some boring reading I need to do for work done, show is NOT helping any.
	1:38pm Listener Robert: No way I'd've found "Sharona" in that, doctorjazz. That's an ear!
	♥ 1:38pm Will the Sound Guy: LR & DrJ that's a big reason why I listen to many programs on WFMU and the streams. there is such a diversity amongst all the DJ'S and programs that I can keep all my music needs in check. I like many different things for different reasons... Sometimes similarities, borrowing, name checks, nods, subtitle references, obvious grabs, quick samples, ect are explained... other times they are just hanging in the breeze. Such an incredible vault of knowledge between the DJ'S and the commenting listeners...
	🥁 ♥ 1:46pm listener 126464: It's OK to like Nick Lowe.
	♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: I've always really liked Nick Lowe, has that become controversial? (now, liking Rod Stewart, that could be an issue, at least after Early Rod).
	♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: Watta Voice on Mare Berger!
	♥ 1:51pm doctorjazz: (one of those pretty-ugly voice that is really moving)
	♥ 1:52pm doctorjazz: Only available as a download on Bandcamp, sad (for this physical media guy) marielberger.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 1:52pm Will the Sound Guy: yea, this easy to listen to...
	♥ 1:53pm doctorjazz: You can see by my comments how much time I'm spending in my reading assignment...
	1:55pm dan: Great show Bob
	♥ 1:56pm Will the Sound Guy: yes, you can tell by my comments how many shelves I've been building and how many things I've moved from upstairs to the basement... been on the Couch listening to the tunes that Bob has been playing for us! Thank you Bob for the tunes!!!
	♥ 1:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks for interfering with my reading, Bob, great music! (teach me to have FMU on when trying to get something like this done).
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm listener 126464: Great show, thanks Bob.
	1:56pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks for making a cold and sunny day warm and sunnier, Bob.
	1:57pm duke: Thanks Bob
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks Bob
	♥ 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob!
	♥ 1:58pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Bob!!
	♥ 1:58pm Gina Bacon: Thanks, Bob! I've been listening while doing my Saturday stuff!
	♥ 1:58pm Yes: thanks bob!
	♥ 3:51pm Wendy S: Never heard of Ray Mason - very cool song :)
