Welcome all!9:19am : "My Dark Hour" on "Brave New World" has McCartney playing drums, singing and co-writing (I think)9:20am : The original Dr. J! Hard to believe that Gris Gris has crested a half century.9:20am : Every time I hear Slim's Jam, it pains me that it isn't half an hour long. This set feels like the remedy.9:21am : This opening set is so dang good.9:22am : I read that at some point Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Band wanted to start a band that would have 3 front men- himself, Captain Beefheart and Dr.John. I can't imagine...9:22am : Very groovy morning.I was just watching Slim and Slam videos last night.9:23am : Steve Miller lives on Riverside Drive.9:24am : @Zoot There are *videos?* Omg. Slam Stewart's the man, bass-wise.9:24am : Thanks Adam, yeah I could dig a lot more time w/ Slim and company. Thanks Wendy! Hey Zoot. Joe, I'm not sure Capt.

The best thing was my Mom and Dad were there with me and we all loved it.9:37am : Sounds like Juniper learned Japanese.9:41am : Saw Quicksilver performance of Edward at the Fillmore.🥁 9:42am : Hearing this reminds me that the 3rd Quicksilver doesn't get enough love.9:42am : Nicky Hopkins - another amazing musician who doesn't get enough recognition. The Stones, the Who, Jeff Beck Group, many more. I saw him with Quicksilver at the Fillmore too!9:43am : Goid morning from Seattle! Thanks for the tunes, Bob.9:45am : Probably my favorite Hopkins' work is his piano on Leigh Stephens "Red Weather' album.9:45am : @Jack - Nicky did good work with The Kinks also.9:47am : So, is Nicky Hopkins in the (so called) Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?9:47am : Not in TRRHOF9:47am : and N.H. was on Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers too.9:48am : Nicky died too young9:48am : Saw Nicky with the Airplane also.9:49am : Nicky Hopkins on TheWho's 1st album was enuff to earn my devotion.9:49am : I have friends who saw Nicky with the Jerry Garcia band.9:50am : Morning Pedro, that's true Jack. Zoot, wow, you were lucky!
Yeah William, just listened to Shady Grove the other day, 1st time in decades. Enjoyed it a lot.
egould310, que pasa? Jack, that's an interesting choice. If I had to choose, I'd have to say Dandelion and We Love You w/Stones!
Zoot, you were in the thick of things, man!9:50am : The Jerry Garcia band w/Nicky Hopkins CD is really good.9:51am : Nicky who was a sickly lad all his life did indeed leave us all to soon. RIP.9:54am : I been everywhere man,I’ve been everywhere.9:55am : I always loved this 5th Dimension single!9:56am : Yeah, you and Johnny Cash.9:57am : Morning, Bob & listeners!9:57am : I wish Icould sing that song.9:58am : Hey Greg from ZONE 5, what's up in your zone?9:58am : Hi Bob! Show is sounding great on this sunny morning.9:58am : Good morning, Bob! A rare real-time listen for me...9:58am : I had tix to see Nicky Hopkins/Nils Lofgren at Bottom Line 1975 (first show after Springsteen’s fabled 5 night run). Alas, Nicky cancelled and Al Kooper (who I love) subbed. Nicky was certainly the English sideman extraordinaire!9:58am : @Zoot, do you still have any of your ticket stubs from those old Fillmore shows? I don't; wish I did.10:00am : I think I just stuffed them in my pocket.I do have my Woodstock tix.10:02am : Spot on comment about NBRBQ and that cover, Bob.
So fun to watch John and Terry on this.10:06am : Hey thanks Therese! Glad to have you on board in real time, Dubiousraves, Jeff, just reading about that Nicky no-show. Nils & Kooper, not too shabby.
It's true, right Dave! They always do a great version of everything they choose and send you happily doing your homework!10:06am : CHOOOOOOOOON10:07am : Al Kooper did some great shows with Jimmmy Vivino.10:10am : Hi Bob and all. Been listening on a long drive. Stopped to say hello and thanks!
Peace, and safe weekend, all.10:11am : I also had tickets to see Nicky & Nils at the Bottom Line. Nicky was sick again. I was very bummed out.10:12am : 'Morning Bob, everyone!10:15am : Good morning.10:20am : Art Lund's vocal style needs to make a comeback.10:21am : Jimmy Vivino is great w/ everyone, Zoot, isn't he?
Hey Really Lisa, thanks for checking in!
Morning mariano, hey Uncle Michael!10:21am : joey!10:22am : Joey Bishop Show theme song, as an instrumental.10:25am : Good morning all!10:28am : Ha, the bass-baritone, yeah.
Is that right, UM? I'd love to hear it.
Morning Artie.10:29am : I always thought that “Joey” song was about Joey Heatherton. Man, did I have a crush on her!10:29am : Recollection is hazy, Bob. I'll now have to seek it out and refresh my ears.10:30am : what a fine spot to tune in for, this morning - that last Crimson song10:30am : And what a fine start to the morning, this program10:31am : Bob B: Yeah, that Goulet-style of Broadway singing. Always had a soft spot for it.10:31am : My Bernstein relatives say Bernsteeeeeeeeen.🥁 10:31am : Nick Evans also in the short-lived 7-piece Soft Machine.10:34am : Good to hear your voice on WFMU, Bob.10:34am : Agree! Loesser's name should be greater.10:36am : I love how Paul flubs that last "in vain"10:36am : Two world class melodies @ once. I'm starting to think The Beatles weren't bad...10:37am : Bob, I'm so, so grateful you're back on Saturday mornings.10:37am : OK Unc. Hey Honeybear, Robert Goulet, ha. Spokesman for Velour! I kid you not.
I always forget that, Wm. but I sorta spend more time with that 1st album.
Hey thanks, Brian in Charlottesville.10:38am : That "Joey" song makes me sooo sad. I guess the closest way to capture my reaction is to say that since childhood, instability has been one of my great fears, and that's a song about somebody's instability.10:38am : Don't hear enough Procol Harum on the radio.10:39am : Goulet, the spokesman for Velour? That is just the most perfect thing ever!10:39am : @TDK60 i was just thinking I need to listen to more Procul Harem.10:39am : Never given Theatre music much attention - but that guy had lungs that could fill a building - & an accessible style too.10:40am : Good morning Bob and brainiacs.10:40am : Good morning Bob.Mr.Lester skillfully produced a daily Western TV show in a West Philadelphia parking lot.10:42am : Heading to the tiki bar10:42am : Enjoying the variety of today’s show, Bob, as I clean my fur ball of a house!10:42am : Almost every "standard" is theatre music.10:42am : I'm not familiar with the play that 'Joey" is from. Is instability a major theme of it?10:43am : Yup, this sounds like music made in the year 2020.10:46am : Listener Robert, that's a heavy interpretation. I hear it as a song of wanderlust, which is close I guess. Yeah, I like Theatre music is smallish doses.
Hey Cooh John.
Morning Patrick, what's "Mr. Lester" in reference to?
Hey Mike!
Not sure Listener Robert, only know a song or 2. Standing on the corner watching all the girls go buy is the other boiggie.
With Stubby Kaye!10:48am : Always remember Stubby as Nicely Nicely in Guys & Dolls.10:50am : Not locating the 1967 Joey Bishop talk show theme, and Regis is no longer available to ask about it. I'm not giving up.10:54am : Jackie Mittoo - a tragic story!🥁 10:54am : Whatever happened to Hairy Mary?10:54am : I love what Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson said when some nimrods tried to disrupt the vote counting process -- "If they think they can intimidate Detroit workers, they don't know Detroit."10:55am : Sometimes I'm Happy
