	♥ 5:36pm Brian in UK: Hey Daddy what is a typewriter.

	♥ 5:39pm WR: The Illustrated Ira Robbins, we're honored. I wonder if i still have any physical TP issues. In all the boxes in storage. Looking at the covers brings back so many memories.
	♥ 5:39pm Gina Bacon: WR!
	♥ 5:40pm Brian in UK: Ira did the digitalising make you reassess all the work that you had done and see it with fresh eyes.

	5:46pm bigplanetnoise: Hey WR!
	♥ 5:48pm Julie P.: Thank you; just curious. The online archive is easier to update and peruse but I do love an actual book.
	🥁 ♥ 5:48pm Eargasm!: Hello, WR!!
	♥ 5:48pm Julie P.: Hey there, WR!
	♥ 5:49pm WR: Warts and all. It was of the time. OK to write new different words but should not revise journalism of the time past.
	♥ 5:50pm Julie P.: Oooo, hate mail from Pete Townshend!
	5:51pm CC: What what did you think of Jackson Bowne's album Lives in the Balance???... hi Gina and all..!..

	♥ 5:52pm WR: Kwik Kopy
	🥁 ♥ 5:53pm doctorjazz: Hey, WR!
	♥ 5:55pm Julie P.: Got to love a classic T Rex riff!
	♥ 5:56pm Gina Bacon: Kwik Kopy! That's where I got my longer college papers copied when I ran out of carbon paper for my Underwood!
	♥ 6:02pm Julie P.: Vernacular?
	6:03pm northguineahills: Rhyming slang....
	♥ 6:03pm Brian in UK: I went into One Stop Records in South Molton Street in London in 1972, it specialised in imports. I asked about a new release by an American singer. Then this voice behind me spoke up and told me that it was coming out soon and produced by Elton John. I turned round and this fella with a Chuck Berry and T Rex records under his arm and wearing ballet pumps was speaking; much to my surprise was Marc Bolan himself. I was cool, said thanks and carried on looking at records. When I told my wife many years later she did not and probably still does not believe me.
	6:04pm northguineahills: I’m someone who listens to Marc Boland, John Cage, Merbow, Richie Hawtin, and George Jones.
	6:06pm CC: I was so impressed by Ian Hunters album shrunken heads you know he was born in 1939...:)
	♥ 6:08pm Brian in UK: ngh never realised how middle of the road were your tastes.
	♥ 6:08pm WR: Yes Brian in UK there was a time when gods walked among us.
	♥ 6:09pm Brian in UK: Ira, like your English take when you say Davis not Dayvees.
	6:12pm CC: Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction always gives me goosebumps!!!...:)
	6:12pm northguineahills: @ Brian: my tastes are more wfmu the wfmu (oroubourus paradox) I used to dj classic rock and country nights, and jazz, and experimental, and avant- guardedly, classical, indie, techno, noise, improv, etc....
	6:13pm northguineahills: ...and folk, and ethnic, and global dance floor....
	♥ 6:14pm Brian in UK: Never close your ears.
	6:15pm CC: I remember telling people about Bruce Springsteen in the early early 70s and everybody would listen and say man that guy sounds like he's whining and I don't know blah blah blah but he turned me on from the beginning!!!... that man can put some words together!!!...:)
	6:15pm northguineahills: And hip hop, jungle, illbient, field recordings well, you get the picture (had a shitty day at work, Ahmad to vent).
	♥ 6:16pm Brian in UK: I remember a comment by John Peel, to the effect that he was not a Merzbow 'fan' but who defend to the death a right to play it.
	♥ 6:17pm Julie P.: Ira, I bookmarked the site and will be browsing it at length later on. I also look forward to checking out the book!
	6:17pm Ira: may i post a link to preview / buy the novel? it is only available on Amazon
	♥ 6:18pm Gina Bacon: Yes! Post away!
	♥ 6:18pm Brian in UK: Ira to expand your point Vienna was kept off the number one spot by Shaddup Your Face or Penny Lane Strwaberry Fields by Release Me.
	6:18pm northguineahills: What is Ira’s last name? Sorry, I’m on the app working. I can ID each Merzbow album just by a few seconds of listening.
	♥ 6:18pm Gina Bacon: This chat stays with the archive, so folks can find it after, too.
	6:18pm Ira: us: amzn.to... uk: amzn.to...
	♥ 6:19pm Gina Bacon: It's Ira Robbins, northguinehills!
	♥ 6:19pm Julie P.: LOVE this piano!
	♥ 6:20pm WR: Bow dee oh doh for the 70s. Totally charming.
	6:20pm Ira: and another little thing: youtu.be...
	6:24pm northguineahills: I was born in the mid-70s, and as said before, I investigate all genres of all temporal periods, of all geographies and ethnicities. (Love 70s music).
	6:24pm CC: Ira... how old are you and who are some of the artists that impressed you the most in your life???
	6:25pm northguineahills: Thanks, Gina, Ira Robbins is tattooed in my brain!
	6:25pm Ira: i am 66. grew up on dylan and the who, beatles and stones, cream
	♥ 6:25pm Gina Bacon: Good, northguineahills!
	♥ 6:26pm Brian in UK: Jonathan King produced the first Genesis album. He has a lot to answer for along with his prison record.
	6:27pm CC: Thats how old I am???... what a coincidence!!!
	6:27pm northguineahills: A fave 10cc! Reminds of the Beach Boy’s “Student Protest Time”
	6:27pm Ira: yes indeed. gary glitter as well
	6:28pm sufferwords: Speaking of vernacular - a English song but the municipal descriptives are American - do the have ‘county jails’?
	6:28pm Ira: Student Demonstration Time
	♥ 6:28pm Gina Bacon: Yes, I hear the Beach Boys, for sure. Such an interesting mix of sounds!
	♥ 6:28pm Brian in UK: Graham Gouldman could write a good hook.
	6:28pm sufferwords: padre?
	♥ 6:28pm Gina Bacon: We do in the US, sufferwords!
	♥ 6:29pm WR: I chipped in the line 'we've all got balls and brains, but some's got balls and chains.' One of my finer couplets. — Graham Gouldman
	♥ 6:29pm Gina Bacon: I guess our counties are the same as shires.
	♥ 6:30pm Gina Bacon: Or similar...I don't know about the govenmental structure.
	6:31pm CC: I guess I should have asked what impressed you the most post 1970???...:)
	6:32pm Ira: Jesus and Mary Chain. C86 Billy Bragg Elvis Costello
	♥ 6:33pm Brian in UK: One-hit wonders.
	6:34pm Ira: CT? 3 Top 20s. so a little better than
	6:35pm Ira: i hope this detour away from Americana is okay with everyone.
	♥ 6:35pm Julie P.: No Ira, this is wonderful! I have to find more of this band!
	♥ 6:35pm Gina Bacon: I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
	♥ 6:36pm Brian in UK: There was a strange dance movement where you put your thumbs into your jeans pocket then slightly bent knees are moved to the right then to the left and repeat. This Chicory Tip could be 'danced' in that style.
	6:36pm CC: Well then... who are some of your favorite Lyricist of all time???...:)
	♥ 6:38pm Julie P.: Now, Sweet is a band I am more familiar with.
	6:39pm northguineahills: @ Ira:: we be Woofmooing!
	♥ 6:39pm Brian in UK: Sweet may have been glam but were not pretty.
	♥ 6:39pm StringOFperils: Hi Gina B....just tuned in...thought,"Chicory Tip??!!! Am I in the right place?", but then I caught up with the context. That looks like a book I'd be into....so yeah, glad I'm here...gladder...O_O
	6:40pm Ira: elvis, dylan, cobain
	♥ 6:40pm Gina Bacon: Hey StringOfPerils!
	♥ 6:40pm StringOFperils: @Brian > sounds like American line dancing.
	♥ 6:41pm Gina Bacon: It does, StringOfPerils! I'm so bad at that stuff.
	♥ 6:41pm Brian in UK: Not sure when line dancing first appeared, over here this would be early 70s.
	♥ 6:42pm Brian in UK: It was random not in lines.

	♥ 5:39pm WR: The Illustrated Ira Robbins, we're honored. I wonder if i still have any physical TP issues. In all the boxes in storage. Looking at the covers brings back so many memories.
	♥ 5:39pm Gina Bacon: WR!
	♥ 5:40pm Brian in UK: Ira did the digitalising make you reassess all the work that you had done and see it with fresh eyes.

	🥁 ♥ 5:48pm Eargasm!: Hello, WR!!
	♥ 5:48pm Julie P.: Hey there, WR!
	♥ 5:49pm WR: Warts and all. It was of the time. OK to write new different words but should not revise journalism of the time past.
	♥ 5:50pm Julie P.: Oooo, hate mail from Pete Townshend!
	5:51pm CC: What what did you think of Jackson Bowne's album Lives in the Balance???... hi Gina and all..!..

	🥁 ♥ 5:53pm doctorjazz: Hey, WR!
	♥ 5:55pm Julie P.: Got to love a classic T Rex riff!
	♥ 5:56pm Gina Bacon: Kwik Kopy! That's where I got my longer college papers copied when I ran out of carbon paper for my Underwood!
	♥ 6:02pm Julie P.: Vernacular?
	6:03pm northguineahills: Rhyming slang....
	♥ 6:03pm Brian in UK: I went into One Stop Records in South Molton Street in London in 1972, it specialised in imports. I asked about a new release by an American singer. Then this voice behind me spoke up and told me that it was coming out soon and produced by Elton John. I turned round and this fella with a Chuck Berry and T Rex records under his arm and wearing ballet pumps was speaking; much to my surprise was Marc Bolan himself. I was cool, said thanks and carried on looking at records. When I told my wife many years later she did not and probably still does not believe me.
	6:04pm northguineahills: I’m someone who listens to Marc Boland, John Cage, Merbow, Richie Hawtin, and George Jones.
	6:06pm CC: I was so impressed by Ian Hunters album shrunken heads you know he was born in 1939...:)
	♥ 6:08pm Brian in UK: ngh never realised how middle of the road were your tastes.
	♥ 6:08pm WR: Yes Brian in UK there was a time when gods walked among us.
	♥ 6:09pm Brian in UK: Ira, like your English take when you say Davis not Dayvees.
	6:12pm CC: Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction always gives me goosebumps!!!...:)
	6:12pm northguineahills: @ Brian: my tastes are more wfmu the wfmu (oroubourus paradox) I used to dj classic rock and country nights, and jazz, and experimental, and avant- guardedly, classical, indie, techno, noise, improv, etc....
	6:13pm northguineahills: ...and folk, and ethnic, and global dance floor....
	♥ 6:14pm Brian in UK: Never close your ears.
	6:15pm CC: I remember telling people about Bruce Springsteen in the early early 70s and everybody would listen and say man that guy sounds like he's whining and I don't know blah blah blah but he turned me on from the beginning!!!... that man can put some words together!!!...:)
	6:15pm northguineahills: And hip hop, jungle, illbient, field recordings well, you get the picture (had a shitty day at work, Ahmad to vent).
	♥ 6:16pm Brian in UK: I remember a comment by John Peel, to the effect that he was not a Merzbow 'fan' but who defend to the death a right to play it.
	♥ 6:17pm Julie P.: Ira, I bookmarked the site and will be browsing it at length later on. I also look forward to checking out the book!
	6:17pm Ira: may i post a link to preview / buy the novel? it is only available on Amazon
	♥ 6:18pm Gina Bacon: Yes! Post away!
	♥ 6:18pm Brian in UK: Ira to expand your point Vienna was kept off the number one spot by Shaddup Your Face or Penny Lane Strwaberry Fields by Release Me.
	6:18pm northguineahills: What is Ira’s last name? Sorry, I’m on the app working. I can ID each Merzbow album just by a few seconds of listening.

	6:24pm northguineahills: I was born in the mid-70s, and as said before, I investigate all genres of all temporal periods, of all geographies and ethnicities. (Love 70s music).
	6:24pm CC: Ira... how old are you and who are some of the artists that impressed you the most in your life???
	6:25pm northguineahills: Thanks, Gina, Ira Robbins is tattooed in my brain!
	6:25pm Ira: i am 66. grew up on dylan and the who, beatles and stones, cream
	♥ 6:25pm Gina Bacon: Good, northguineahills!
	♥ 6:26pm Brian in UK: Jonathan King produced the first Genesis album. He has a lot to answer for along with his prison record.
	6:27pm CC: Thats how old I am???... what a coincidence!!!
	6:27pm northguineahills: A fave 10cc! Reminds of the Beach Boy’s “Student Protest Time”
	6:27pm Ira: yes indeed. gary glitter as well

	♥ 6:30pm Gina Bacon: Or similar...I don't know about the govenmental structure.

	♥ 6:35pm Julie P.: No Ira, this is wonderful! I have to find more of this band!
	♥ 6:35pm Gina Bacon: I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
	♥ 6:36pm Brian in UK: There was a strange dance movement where you put your thumbs into your jeans pocket then slightly bent knees are moved to the right then to the left and repeat. This Chicory Tip could be 'danced' in that style.
	6:36pm CC: Well then... who are some of your favorite Lyricist of all time???...:)
