Bob - To tell the truth it’s been rough. This time last week I was in the Emergency room.

As far as Laura goes - I agree with Jeff.

9:27am melinda:

@Bob I did like it.

🥁

9:29am Wm.fromDumont:

Nyro viewed this album harshly, but I love it.

9:29am Jim Macnie:

what a song!

9:31am TDK60:

This Yardbirds tune was one of those innovative break-the-boundaries tunes. Completely new sounds, back then.

9:31am Joe Merklee:

"Ives was on the stereo". In his book Stamey elaborates that it was Charles, not Burl.

9:32am Peter from Dover NJ:

Hmmm, a Yardbirds song I hadn't heard. Nice. Great show Bob. @ Doc Rock, hoping you rebound!

9:33am Bob Brainen:

Wm. they say artists are their own toughest critics.
I say they may not be the best critics!
Morning Jim Macnie,
TDK60-agree!
Joe M.- funny! before I read the book I heard "voices on the stereo."
Thanks Peter

9:37am melinda:

I remember John Rubinstein in the TV series Family. That would be interesting to watch again.

9:40am melinda:

ooh, I love crayon angels

9:41am Bob Brainen:

I liked that show too Melinda. He played a real lowlife, a wealthy lowlife.

9:42am dale:

'family' was on the decades channel last weekend as their binge watch.

9:42am Doc Rock:

Thanks PFDNJ

9:42am Jeff:

Unbelievable! I was just talking about Judee Sill the other day with a close friend.
Another name I want to throw out is Essra Mohawk. Bob, or anyone, any thoughts? Have you ever heard Primordial Lovers?

9:44am Bob Brainen:

Too bad I missed it dale. Like Essra Mohawk too, Jeff did you show that on your FB page?

9:44am Listener Robert:

Darn, Sheena's Jungle stream just finished Stan Freberg's "Green Christmas". Well, there's always the archive.

9:45am melinda:

@dale wish I could have seen that, I was little when it first aired but I remember liking it

9:46am Andrew in Toronto:

Try Wiki for Esra Jeff.

9:46am HopeWithFeathers:

Good morning Bob & fellow Brainiacs. I’m about to start decorating my Christmas tree while listening with you all.🎄

🥁

9:46am Wm.fromDumont:

The first Essra Mohawk single is wacky.

9:47am Jeff:

Yes, Bob. I’ve actually been communicating with her the past week. That’s a whole other story!

9:47am Dennis Diken:

Hey Bob! Hey everyone!

9:48am Listener Robert:

Oof, Doc Rock, did you find out whether it was an ascending kindney infection or a descending (hematogenous) one?

9:48am dale:

i didn't watch any of it, but i remember from the 70s that it was like a dark version of 8 is enough.

🥁

9:49am Wm.fromDumont:

What? Stanley Cowell died? Ugh.

9:51am Listener Robert:

Dale, I just glanced at it, only remember one scene with the visiting grandma in the bathtub and all the kids in the bathroom talking to her.

9:51am Bob Brainen:

Yeah, Family wasn't your typical soap opera drama, it had some substance.
Hey HopeWithFeathers,
Ah, Jeff so that's you with the Laura & Joni! Nice!
Hey Denny, hey Listener Robert.
dale that's an interesting way to put it.

9:52am Doc Rock:

@ listener Bob - I have no idea what kind it is.

9:54am Listener Robert:

Aw, I was hoping "Doc Rock" meant MD. Anyway, an ascending kidney infection comes up the urinary tract, while a hematogenous one comes from the bloodstream. They have different implications for the likelihood of recurrence and other illnesses.

9:55am Andrew in Toronto:

Hey Dennis!

9:55am Jeff:

Yeah, Bob, that’s me. Did I ever tell you that one of my friends had Laura Nyro as her camp counselor at sleep away camp in the Catskills early ‘60s? Also, Doc Rock is lifelong friends with Laura’s percussionist Nydia Mata. So, I’m sorta connected to Laura in a six degrees of separation kind of way.

9:55am melinda:

@dale I like that description

9:57am Dennis Diken:

Hey Andrew!

9:58am Listener Robert:

The value of that bathroom scene for exposition was the implication that, if the kids and grandma were so intimate, they'd be exchanging info they didn't trust to tell the generation in between, i.e. the kids' parents. Neat story trick, beats some omniscient voice-over.

9:58am Doc Rock:

@Listener Robert - Sorry not an MD.
But thanks for the information.

9:58am Wendy del Formaggio:

Good morning, Bob, and playlist friends. Great show, as always, Bob! I was singing along to Steely Dan while doing my morning stretches. It really does help!

9:58am Kpx:

Yo BB: I don't know if you know or not, but in case you don't, here's a little heads up. coming Tuesday 29th, is the DOD of Norma Tanega. So you might want to put together a little tribute for her in next Saturday show, if you're interested in doing so. or not?.

9:59am David in ATL from NJ:

Wow, what a great tune, Bob!

10:01am JimB:

A friend posted an ad from 1917 for The Cave Room in the Hotel Grunewald on Baronne Street in the French Quarter. The Cave Room was actually a real cave that the hotel had converted to a club or dining room and the featured band was "Olsen's Banjo-Saxophone Quintette". THAT is a venue I would kill to see.

10:03am P-90:

Well Bob if we weren’t all 100% awake yet, we are now...

10:03am Listener Robert:

You'd think a hematogenous kidney infection would be worse news, like OMG, I have septicemia! But actually not so, it can be just a random occurrence of one kidney's filtering out a few bacteria that then set up an infection there. Meanwhile an ascending kidney infection is usually the result of a longer process of infection starting lower in the urinary tract and proceeding against the flow upstream, indicating a weakness there.

10:03am Jeff:

Doc Rock = PhD in rock and roll

10:05am JimB:

I think Dave the Spazz wants to sample "the voice of the trapped monkey".

10:06am Really Lisa:

Hi Bob and everyone.
Enjoying the show!

10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...OK ! Got my diddleydang hopeful astrology postings done ...here in time for ...absolutely horrific screams of distress! Saturday Matinee Time...

10:09am Bob Brainen:

Pretty cool Jeff. I got to see her at The Turning Point. Just Laura and her keyboard. Magic!
I think it's the only show there I saw that wasn't NRBQ!
Thanks Wendy & howdy.
KPx, I'll pull some Norma. Thx.
Hey David in ATL from NJ,
HeyP-90 & Really Lisa,
Revolution Rabbit Nov63

10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Listener Robert - I had one teeny leetle kidney stone - but I had no concept of what might be happening before diagnosis - & you have 101% of my empathy & well wishes.

10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Camp Nyro !

10:12am Listener Robert:

Sorry about the confusion, Rev Rabbit, but I'm not the one with the kidney infection, I was just explaining things for Doc Rock, who does/did have one. However, with the size of my prostate, I may be headed for an ascending one some day!

10:13am Tim Brosnan:

Just discovered you're back on the air. No better gift to start the holiday season!! Finally, a reason to listen to Saturday morning radio again.

10:13am Listener Bop Monroe:

greetings from really sunny Tannersville.
woke up and saw the monkees sing Riu Chiu this morning.

10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

OK well were needed then.

10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

*wHere

10:14am Doc Rock:

@ Listener Robert, Thanks again for all of the medical information. I’ve been trying to talk to the doctor about it. But, Christ you know it ain’t easy, you know how hard it can be, to get these guys to talk to you / me.

10:14am Corey:

This Dion always stops me in my tracks. Nice to hear it.

🥁

10:14am Wm.fromDumont:

I love Dion's Folk/Rock period. Overlooked.

10:18am Deborah:

@Wm.fromDumont
Absolutely agree!

10:18am Zetti:

@Listener Bop Monroe

Morning neighbor, Reeders :)

Hi Bob. :)

10:19am Bob Brainen:

Thanks Tim!
Hey Listener Bop Monroe
Agree Wm. took me awhile to find it, besides the later hit.
Hey Zetti,

10:20am Listener Bop Monroe:

can never go wrong with bird in the AM.
Gday Mr. BB!

10:20am Tim Brosnan:

@DocRock - well don't let them crucify you brother!

10:21am TDK60:

Rockin' Bob.

10:22am Listener Robert:

Doc, usually it's a matter of the doctor's thinking s/he's wasting both of your time by explaining details you'd have no way to act on. Under some conditions I've gotten permission to intermediate between doctor and patient with communication. Maybe we can work something out. Usually that's best done by your primary care physician, but if you don't have one that can be a problem, in that the ER docs can figure they'll likely never see you again.

10:22am Yes:

good morning

10:23am Bob Brainen:

Morning Yes,

10:23am Listener Robert:

Doc, were you enrolled (that you know of) in an electronic charting program? That could help.

10:23am Doc Rock:

@ Tim Brosnan Never gonna happen.

10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah Dion rewriting FolkRawk History as we thot we knew it.
...is my favorite Yardbird JeffBeck ...or CharlieParker...

10:25am phat:

OMG, thank you for Rope Ladder...

10:25am Listener Bop Monroe:

ropeladder to the moon...!

10:25am Greg from ZONE 5:

10:26am Bob Brainen:

10:26am Bob Brainen:

Hey vanya moscow

10:28am Irene Trudel:

Lurking and loving the show as usual this Saturday morning. Great version of Rope Ladder to the Moon!

10:29am Woo:

If everybody he says he's no good he probably isn't that good.

10:29am Uncle Michael:

Is the greatest girl group record, ever?

10:29am Doc Rock:

As far as Jack Bruce goes, once again I’m with Jeff.

10:31am Tim Brosnan:

Also the name of a documentary about Bruce's life! I'm with Jeff too. JB was (and still is) a favorite!

10:31am JG:

Always enjoy the captain. Thanks Bob

10:38am TDK60:

My Goodness what a freakin' great Program.

10:40am WFMU listener WADE:

holy cow.... another KG&LW super-jam!

10:40am Bob Brainen:

TDK60, well, brand new album called K.G. I've played some things from it recently. Now a new song put out~after~ the album.
Thank you Rev!

10:41am Tim Brosnan:

Loved that Travelin' Shoes track - a new one for me. Seemed reminiscent of Seeger's "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy".

10:41am TDK60:

When will the evening album be out, Bob?

10:42am Doc Rock:

Yes. Really great show 2day Bob.

10:44am Listener Bop Monroe:

'i am the gizzard king, i can do anything'

10:44am Bob Brainen:

TDK60, ha! Not sure anyone is as prolific. Although...in the 60s it was 3 albums a year for a lot of bands!
Thanks Doc Rock!

10:44am Jeff:

Eric Dolphy was so overlooked by the listening public but not by the players. They all dug him!

10:46am Kpx:

Seeya BOb, don't believe everything you you read !

10:48am watchpocket:

I don't think I've heard that Chiffons song since the '60s! You've got some super-swell jams goin' on today for sure, Bob.

10:48am northguineahills:

Dolphy into Stravinsky! nice!

10:49am Bob Brainen:

Kpx, learned that lesson when I went with a Wiki birthdate of a musician that made no sense to me but I didn't cross check it right away!
Thanks Rusty!

10:50am Kpx:

minus one of you .

10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

When a Stones song could cut a swath of relevance thru society.

10:51am Bob Brainen:

Thanks northguineahills, all the Jazz cats knew and dug him.

10:51am Fredericks:

The sequence of Dolphy into Stravinsky into the Rolling Stones is pretty impressive.

🥁

10:52am Wm.fromDumont:

Mono is the way.

10:53am ?:

I got it from a girl at summer camp once.

10:54am TDK60:

Igor to the Rollings. Whoa.

10:54am Bob Brainen:

And the Classical cats dug Jazz. Nice!
Thanks Fredericks!
MONO!
? ok...

10:56am Corey:

Thanks Bob and skeleton crew! Great way to kick off the weekend. Take care all.

10:57am HopeWithFeathers:

Now you got me dancing I’m gonna tangle up the light strings.

10:57am watchpocket:

Bob maybe you can refresh my memory about who we were there to see the night you & me & FXO & brother John met at Maxwell's. Was it the Bird & the Bee? 'Cause I know I did see them there with Frank & hadn't heard of them 'til then.

10:58am Andrew in Toronto:

Merci beaucoup for all the great jams.

10:58am TDK60:

Thanks DJ BB.
