My friend is reading the Robbie Robinson Book. He says it is really good so far. That is next. Right now I'm reading the Johnny Marr Set The Boy Free.

'Water' - ahead for '65.
  9:14am Stuart Rose:

Good morning, Bob, and all those who sail the good ship Brainen.

Thanks Bob...I knew you'd have Family! Brilliant.

Nice tribute to John Wetton...
Avatar 9:21am Scraps:

Good enough...!
  9:22am Jack:

I always thought John Wetton had a beautiful voice, love his singing.
  9:24am Mark R:

"Lament" is one of my all-time favorites! Maybe because my brother gave me this album for my 15th birthday.
  9:26am Kevin:

I will always think of STARLESS when I think of John Wetton. There is a great you tube vid. of old K.C. you should check out.
  9:26am Mark R:

"Winter Light" is another old fave--Bob, hearing this album on your show a couple years ago inspired me to re-acquire it. I think it's one of their best.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:26am Sullivan Ballou:

What is this...? The "lets play songs that sound like Pink Floyd show"?
  9:27am Mark R:

Well, Oregon certainly broke the spell, then, Sullivan

Colin Walcott was a motherfucker.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:33am WilliamfromDumont:

Morning Bob and all. Bob, the menu music on the Musical History DVD features a Garth Hudson publishing demo for Katie's Been Gone. Well worth checking out. John Wetton RIP.

Hiya, Bob, and all. Sorry to have missed Richard Manuel.
Avatar 9:43am Scraps:

Weekend! Yes!
Avatar 9:46am Scraps:

God, I love all the Young Marble Giants parts, though I was initially disappointed that none of them were up to Colossal Youth. But that was truly perfect.
  9:46am Listener Robert:

That "Light-eyed", unless I'm misaligned w the playlist, sounded a lot like a piece from "Jesus Christ, Superstar".
  9:48am Listener Robert:

Not so much the tune, but the bass line.
  Swag For Life Member 9:53am tadpoles:

@Scraps... Agree.."Colossal Youth" will never date.
  10:01am Listener Robert:

Darn, don't just leave us hanging, Reporter Brainen! Can't you describe the scene outside a little, please?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:03am melinda:

Quiolent, haha
  10:03am Listener Robert:

Could someone at the station patch the security camera at the front door into Ustream, please?

Swingin' set bb...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17am melinda:

I like Strange New World. Sounds like it belongs in a soundtrack somewhere.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah - & NRBQ's arrangement of Monk made it sound like incidental film music - like 'ThisBoy' in 'HardDay'sNight' or something - really nice. This 'Finnish Line' is just this side of PenguinCafeOrchestra...Wonderful corners of Music not always thot about - Thx for presenting them.

Claudine Longet

Claudine Longet
  10:36am Stuart Rose:

Beat me to it, Andy.
But was she convicted?
And was she an almost affectless singer? Am I remembering correctly here?
Avatar 10:37am annie:

this comments board for BB's show, i just sit back and read taking in all the knowledge..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:38am Sem Chumbo:

@Stuart Rose: from wikithingy:
She has maintained a private profile since 1977, following her conviction for misdemeanor negligent homicide in connection with the death of her boyfriend, former Olympic skier Spider Sabich.
Avatar 10:45am SmokinJ:

GL & Playboys rule..
  10:47am davefromtoronto:

such a strange voice gary lewis had - hard to describe, strangely unmasculine and emotionless.
  10:48am Stuart Rose:

Thanks, Sem.
I think, though, I'll wait until I'm more awake before looking up an explanation of such a refined act as misdemeanor negligent homicide. Sounds like just the crime a leggy, affectless model-chanteuse would commit.
Avatar 10:52am SmokinJ:

I only saw Gary & PB once,about 72'or so. He blew my mind as I never knew he was such a decent guitarist. He was playing through two Fender Twins and I was right up front. Great show.
Avatar 10:54am SmokinJ:

With a Stratocaster of course!
  10:57am Douglas:

I saw Family with the Nice and Ten Years After at the Fillmore East,April 1969
