	10:12am Roberto: Yo Bob!
	10:13am Bob Brainen: Yo Roberto!
	10:14am Bob Brainen: Jeff, Pete says Hey!
	10:14am Roberto: This was the first Animulz song I learned to play bass on (It's My Life)
	10:15am Bob Brainen: Some memorable basslines for sure!
	10:15am Robbie White: "When I Was Young" is an incredible song. Thanks for playing it.
	10:16am Roberto: Gawd these lyrics are cringey AF and awesome at the same time.
	10:21am Roberto: "She was brown and I was pretty green" -- oy vey
	10:25am Jeff: I feel fortunate to have seen a reunion of all five original Animals back in the ‘80s. It was a great gig! I finally saw the Moody Blues a few years back after being a fan for 50+ years. Absolutely hated the gig! They did a bunch of tunes (from the ‘80s?) that the audience went bonkers over. Thought the material was mediocre. Hey, what’s Alan Price been doing?
	10:26am WR: Didn't remember that the Animals did Mess Around. One dot I hadn't connected before.
	10:26am Bob Brainen: Jeff, not many can say they saw both bands, good gig or bad! Alan Price? I wish I knew.
	10:31am northguineahills: Saying hi and bye, Gotta check out of the hotel! cheers!
	10:32am egould310: Ho Bob! Hi Pete!
	10:39am WR: NGH! Keep in touch yo!
	10:40am SmokinJ: Hey bb & crew! Saw the band a shitload of times and I love em'! Lovin' this big time! 8-)
	10:47am Bob Brainen: See ya northguineahills!
	10:48am Bob Brainen: Hey egould310!
	🥁 10:48am PT: Hey egould310 and everyone! Pete Tomlinson here.
	10:49am Bob Brainen: Hey SmokinJ, wow! What years/eras?
	10:49am SmokinJ: Gettin' my Brainen buzz baby! 8-)
	10:49am Listener Robert: Ach! Caught me off guard with the early extra hour.
	🥁 10:51am PT: I have it on good authority that San Franciscan nights are anything but warm!
	10:51am Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert, yeah we tried to get the word out as best we could on sort of short notice. The archive will be up in a few hours.
	10:52am SmokinJ: bb: Saw em' at the usual weird venues in 68' to 77' or so. Last flight was the 'Flyin' Eye' band at the WI state fair in 94'. Amazing cat... 8-)
	10:52am Bob Brainen: Depends on who you're with, PT!
	10:53am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ, impressive!
	10:53am SmokinJ: As are you my brother! ;-)
	10:54am Bob Brainen: Aw, thanks!
	10:56am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Bob! Best b-side ever!!!!
	🥁 10:58am PT: When I Was Young/Girl Named Sandoz: incredible standalone single, I bought it when I was 13, which gives my age away (as if I care)
	10:58am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & everyone!
	10:59am Bob Brainen: Hey bigplanetnoise! A good 'un, for sure.
	10:59am Listener Robert: Thanks, Mr. Brainen. I'm here with my friend Greg but we're leaving in a bit to a brew pub and then a barbecue, so we're making a note to listen on archive tomorrow. Greg is joyous to hear Animals and Moody Blues records. And to think we were wasting our time listening to a Loreena McKennit CD he'd brought. ;-)
	10:59am Bob Brainen: Hey Gina Bacon!
	🥁 10:59am wmfromdumont: Damn, late for the show. Mornin' Bob and Pete and all.
	11:00am 1whoknewcthulhu: Good morning, Bob and all!
	11:00am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!
	11:01am dan: Animals and Moody Blues. Hit the jackpot
	11:01am Irene Trudel: I think we just lost Bob on the stream!
	11:01am dan: That’s if it’ll play
	11:02am TDK60: Good morning Bob.
	🥁 11:03am listener 126464: Hi Bob, everyone.
	11:03am ?: Stream went up the creek
	11:05am Listener Robert: Now Greg is saying, "Oh, my God, a bummer! This I don't like." Greg is unrestrained regarding his preferences. I guess the show slipped back to the pre-programmed Drummer stream underneath. No offense to the DJ who curated it.
	11:06am Gina Bacon: Hoping they can get back on here!
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Doug's workin' on it.
	11:06am Franco Twinkie: Hey Bob!
	11:06am bigplanetnoise: Yay! Welcome back!
	11:07am dan: We’re on
	🥁 11:07am wmfromdumont: Burdon's short lived Latin phase.
	11:07am TDK60: Geordie accents.
	11:10am SmokinJ: Rockin' & Swingin' set bb.. Absolutely essential! 8-)
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: My sister saw The Animals in 1968 with a big salad oil light show behind the band. It was a Sunday afternoon show at a place that had a revolving stage across the street from Montgomery Ward.
	🥁 11:13am (Mr) Bill: Forgot about the early starting time. Damned old age.
	11:14am Doug Schulkind: Computers. You can't live with them and you can't live with them. Can't we all just go back to bangin' rocks?
	11:16am Kpx: Where am be E'body?
	11:18am TDK60: I'll go no further back than typewriters and telegraph, Doug.
	11:21am spodiodi: good morning, Bob and Pete! good morning Kpx, all!
	🥁 11:25am duke: Good morning everyone
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: Let`s say a prayer from our hearts for our friends in New York, New Jersey and Louisiana please?
	11:25am spodiodi: good question, Kpx. holiday weekend is probably the reason... still. good question. gm, duke
	🥁 11:27am wmfromdumont: Hoagy Lands cut some beautiful sides.
	🥁 11:28am duke: Maybe everyone is sleeping late
	11:31am spodiodi: oh i bet there's another room... since they started early
	11:32am spodiodi: good morning, Bob, Pete, and everyone! was just in the other playlist (the one with the regular start time, and on the home page)
	11:32am Bob Brainen: Hey wmfromdumont, funny! But War has that Latin groove!
	🥁 11:33am (Mr) Bill: @Andrew in Toronto Thank you.
	11:33am doctorjazz: Who knew? Anyway, here now, sounding fine, Bob and Pete!
	11:33am Bob Brainen: Hey Franco Twinkie! Very cool!
	🥁 11:34am duke: Ha. I was in the other room. Thanks spodiodi
	11:34am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto-yes, amen.
	11:34am Bob Brainen: Hey spodiodi!
	11:35am Bob Brainen: Hey duke!
	11:35am annie: really one of the best songs ever written..
	11:36am doctorjazz: Ahh, here's where the party is!
	11:37am watchpocket: Another special! Excellent.
	🥁 11:37am wmfromdumont: Alan Price's appearance in Don't Look Back is one of the highlights of that movie.
	11:38am Bob Brainen: annie, agree!
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz, we've been here since 10 today.
	11:38am watchpocket: Another special! Excellent.
	🥁 11:38am PT: Just checked, and Burdon is not listed as a writer of Spill The Wine, though every member of War is! Some after-the-fact backroom politics maybe?
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket! 4 hours today: 10-2.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: PT, a lot of other characters would have added their name to the writer credits, so kudos to Eric!
	🥁 11:43am PT: wmfromdumont, agreed! Price is charming, funny, and maybe just a bit tipsy in Don't Look Back. Steals the show (almost)
	11:45am coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Greetings coelacanth∅!
	11:47am coelacanth∅: 'bunch a animals...
	11:50am annie: ok, laundry calls!!! sorry to split so soon.
	🥁 11:51am wmfromdumont: A little high?
	11:58am Eugene J Bentley: Hey Bob. excited about this special. You forgot to mention Don't Bring Me Down.
	11:59am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob. Digging the show.
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: ^ (for the record) on the album, all of war is included for songwriting credits for spill the wine (including Eric Burdon)
	🥁 12:00pm (Mr) Bill: Hey, Bob! I’ve been knocking at the door for decades, and I never get an answer. Hoping you’ll give me one by 2 p.m.!
	12:01pm Irene Trudel: Loving the show, guys! Looking forward to the Moodys now-- on of my all-time faves!
	🥁 12:02pm (Mr) Bill: GREAT start.
	12:03pm Franco Twinkie: I remember the first time I had that burning desire to go see a show that was out of my reach. It was New Years Eve 1969 at the Olympic Auditorium in L.A. The line up was - Love, The Youngbloods, Blue Cheer, Southwind and War. That following summer Spill The Wine was huge. The 70's had started and there was no turning back.
	🥁 12:03pm (Mr) Bill: I think I just found the lost chord.
	12:03pm Eugene J Bentley: I saw an interview with Carole King who penned Don't Bring Me Down with Gerry. She met up with Eric Burden at a clinic. She told him that she hated what he did to her song. 'But I learned to live with it'.
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: (MR) Bill, hey, sorry, good aftermorning!
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Eugene!
	12:04pm coelacanth∅: i missed a conversation that took place on the air maybe but why wouldn't Burdon get writing credit for spill the wine? ...and why is his name (and a few others') discluded from the Isley's release of it, which came later?
	🥁 12:05pm wmfromdumont: Ray Thomas always came up with some cool numbers.
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Franco, what a line-up!
	🥁 12:06pm PT: coelacanthø: I got my info from Google, which serves me right if it's erroneous. Maybe the omission of Eric happened sometime between the album and now? Songwriters' missing/altered credits have been known to happen. Aaah, it's a fabulous song no matter who wrote it.
	12:06pm SmokinJ: @Franco Twinkie: Thank your lucky stars! It's nice to have been in the right place at the right time! I know... 8-)
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, interesting! I bet she liked the royalties! But RnR is full of such stories. Bacharach hated Love's Little Red Book but we love it!
	12:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: "The Moody Blues!" www.frinkiac.com...
	12:08pm Franco Twinkie: Yes indeed Bob and SmokinJ , but I didn't get to go! However, it lit the flame I'll tell you for sure.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey Ken From Hyde Park! Funny!
	12:11pm Listener Robert: This is one Greg never heard of.
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: FWIW, 45cat just says "War" as writer credit. But as Pete wrote, writer credits shift as time goes on, it is mysterious, sometimes righting a wrong, sometimes wronging a right.
	12:12pm SmokinJ: Great songs bb...
	12:12pm coelacanth∅: yeah there's no limit to misinformation. i'd trust wikipedia before google. who knows...my album credits all of them; but it's really curious to me that the Isleys 45 credits only 5 members of war. that couldn't have been too long after the original. but then - why wouldn't Burdon have been part of the creation of that song? it totally sounds like his work (to me)
	12:12pm dale: afternoon. gonna have to catch the first part of the show later. love early moodies.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert!
	12:14pm dale: hey now. i love the moodies, both iterations. the one with patrick moraz doesn't count.
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅, completely sounds like EB's lyrics, but...the guy can take any song/lyric and make it his own!
	🥁 12:15pm (Mr) Bill: R.I.P. Ray Thomas, especially the ‘Stacey. There’s a video of the Moodys’ playing “Departure/Ride My See-Saw” (Top of the Pops, maybe). Ray’s mincing around is priceless.
	12:16pm coelacanth∅: this is true...like that Carole King song!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Hey dale, yeah way beyond my area/era of interest so I can't judge.
	12:16pm dale: i NEVER heard this song and thought i'd heard everything denny laine did with them. live and learn
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: Love this early Moodys, Bob. You going chronologically, more or less?
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Ray added a lot and he was there for a long long time.
	12:18pm Bob Brainen: Dale, we're using Pete's 2 CD Deluxe version of the 1st lp. TONS of rare singles and unreleased stuff. Well worth getting!
	🥁 12:18pm wmfromdumont: Moodies used to drop acid with their neighbor John Lennon.
	12:18pm Eugene J Bentley: I love the rare NIWS B-side Cities.
	12:18pm dale: when i bought caught live plus five these b-sides and singles were so good.
	🥁 12:19pm PT: dale: Jago & Jilly is from an incomplete and unreleased 2nd Moodies album to have been called "Look Out!" Its 1st appearance was on the 2014 Magnificent Moodies mega-deluxe edition.
	🥁 12:19pm (Mr) Bill: ‘stache, not ‘Stacey. Damned AutoIncorrect. Sorry.
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: very interesting. i'm not a huge moodys fan but like them. this stuff is totally new to me and pretty damned good!
	12:21pm dan: Mixing Denny and Justin like a deck of cards
	🥁 12:21pm (Mr) Bill: @Dale Got THAT right about Patrick Moraz.
	12:22pm Listener Robert: Greg is impressed. Has most of their albums, was at their concerts numerous times, finds this stuff "very strange" and unfamiliar, like it was another band.
	12:22pm dale: up to seventh sojourn is all anyone needs.
	12:24pm dan: Are you going to play The Four Tops’ version of A Simple Game?
	12:24pm doctorjazz: Haven't heard this in sooooooo long...
	12:25pm Listener Robert: Frankly, though, Greg doesn't like it (the several you played before Timothy Leary) as much as the numbers he was familiar with. I don't know if they'd previously not catered to his tastes, or he just got into a groove of familiarity.
	12:25pm Taavi: I can't ever hear this stuff, for '68 or so on, without wonder at how well the band was served by their engineers. Sounds fantastic, still...
	12:26pm Taavi: "from about," I mean...
	🥁 12:26pm (Mr) Bill: @Dale I agree, with the exception of “Steppin’ in a Slide Zone.”
	12:26pm dan: Epic flute
	🥁 12:28pm wmfromdumont: The mellotron master is in the house!
	🥁 12:28pm (Mr) Bill: @Taavi The dynamics on “Lovely to See You” are outta sight.
	12:28pm dale: robert - it was a different band basically with denny laine who went on to be in wings and clint warwick.
	🥁 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: I remember when Timothy Leary died and NPR had a short obit on “All Things Considered.” Still crushed that “Legend of a Mind” wasn’t played. What were they not thinking?
	12:31pm doctorjazz: A good friend who used to work at ASCAP texted me... Some years back, John Lodge came up to ASCAP for a Meet & Greet thing. He turned out to be the nicest guy in the world. I asked him how they got into the whole cosmic thing and he said "We were really bad a rock & roll and had to try something new."
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: haha Bill - Huge oversight on their part!
	🥁 12:32pm Gina Bacon: Hi bpn, very late!
	12:32pm dale: eric burdon recommended justin hayward as a singer to pinder. so there IS a connection.
	🥁 12:35pm (Mr) Bill: @doctorjazz — Great story.
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: hey dr.j yes good story! hi Gina!
	🥁 12:40pm Gina Bacon: Hi coelacanthø!
	🥁 12:42pm (Mr) Bill: Either Hayward and Lodge released an album titled “Blue Jays,” or I dreamed they did. Which is it?
	12:42pm dale: both of them together mr bill
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Hi Gina! Hi Coel! Hey all you Braineniacs!
	12:43pm Eugene J Bentley: Denny Laine had a solo career before hooking up with Wings. He penned Say You Don't Mine which be came a solo hit for Colin Blunstone.
	🥁 12:43pm wmfromdumont: A few nice tunes on Bluejays.
	12:43pm dale: oh the dawn is breaking on your future my child is there none of your love alive if every door you open, closes on me i don't know if i can survive
	12:43pm dan: Hope you play Our Guessing Game. Probably one of Ray Thomas’ best songs
	12:44pm dale: a couple of good tunes on pinder's 'the promise.'
	🥁 12:45pm wmfromdumont: My fave Moodies song!
	12:46pm Eugene J Bentley: The first chords of Love and Beauty sounds like Chopin.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, yes! Not surprising.
	12:50pm dale: another song that's new to me.
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: Does anyone have a fave Animals and Moodys album?
	12:51pm Eugene J Bentley: Am I psychic or what?
	12:53pm dale: seventh sojourn is my fave moody album.
	🥁 12:54pm wmfromdumont: I dig To Our Children's ....
	12:54pm Eugene J Bentley: It's toss up between Days and Seventh as my favorite Moodies album
	12:55pm Eugene J Bentley: To Our Children is up there too.
	12:56pm dale: ooh yeah. i never thought i'd get to be a hundred/million....watching and waiting (which they SHOULD have used in the movie wall e....
	12:56pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, from a Chopin Nocturne or Etude?
	12:57pm doctorjazz: Go Now is a favorite tune!
	12:57pm Eugene J Bentley: Is that the one that Barry Manilow used for Could it Be Magic?
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: It could be! I used to play it...ok ok ...fake it on the piano.
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: i admit i never knew go now was the moody blues
	1:00pm doctorjazz: Another fave! (I think Fountains of Wayne covered it, no?)
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz, I said to Pete that all these special shows, Brian's Jone's Stones, Hollies, Animals & Moodys have made me come away with more admiration for all of them.
	🥁 1:01pm (Mr) Bill: I’m with wmfromdumont, with “A Question of Balance” a creditable runner-up. “Every Good ... Favour” has a special place in my heart for being my portal to the group. A depressed 16-year-old middle-class suburban White kid aspiring to be the most sensitive male in the U.S. couldn’t not find “The Story in Your Eyes” to be the most cosmic piece of music since the Biblical Song of Songs.
	1:03pm Irene Trudel: To Our Children's Children's Children, absolutely my fave, followed closely by In Search of the Lost Chord. I first heard Children's when visiting a friend at Rutgers. It was Halloween and we dropped acid. As we walked into a student lounge, "Beyond" was playing on WRSU (which was piped into the lounge), quickly followed by "Out and In." I'd liked The Moodys before that but was totally hooked with this.
	🥁 1:04pm (Mr) Bill: “Go Now” was originally a (minor) Motown hit, I believe.
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Irene, that is COSMIC!
	🥁 1:05pm (Mr) Bill: Are the Moodys pretty much ignored or trashed by “serious” rock critics?
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill, I'd say so. Inducted into RnR HoF in 2021, they were eligible in 1990(!) if that says anything.
	🥁 1:07pm wmfromdumont: Children's has really strong material from all members. Eternity Road is a Ray Thomas song that I love.
	1:08pm Irene Trudel: You know it! A great album even when not in an altered state. Later that same night we all went to see Andy Warhol's "Frankenstein" 3D. I remember laughing hysterically throughout the movie. Only tried LSD a few times because it got too weird for me.
	1:08pm Eugene J Bentley: Sad but true about the Moodies bein panned by rock critics. Rollong Stone Record Guide paned everything exept Days.
	1:09pm Irene Trudel: (Mr) Bill, I still have a 45 of "Story In Your Eyes." Another fave of mine.
	🥁 1:11pm (Mr) Bill: Irene: Hearing “Children’s” for the first time while tripping on Hallowe’en. I wouldn’t have survived.
	1:11pm dale: always loved procession. that organ is fantastic. do you have pinder's 'my song' on the t.t.?
	🥁 1:11pm (Mr) Bill: But I would have died in ecstasy.
	🥁 1:12pm (Mr) Bill: Did Pinder ever smile? And has anyone here given any love to Graeme Edge today?
	1:14pm Irene Trudel: (Mr) Bill, hearing those Moodys tunes that night was strangely comforting.
	1:14pm dale: graeme edge band with adrian gurvitz has some wild stuff on it.
	1:15pm dale: the story in your eyes follows procession.
	1:15pm Eugene J Bentley: Procession is from Every Good Boy Deserves Favour .
	🥁 1:16pm (Mr) Bill: “Procession” starts “EGBDF” and segues into “The Story in Your Eyes.” “A Question of Balance” opens with “Question” and closes with “The Balance.”
	🥁 1:17pm PT: Procession into Story in Your Eyes, of course, duh. Just wanted to see if y'all were listening!
	🥁 1:19pm (Mr) Bill: Oh, we’re listening, Pete — and I, for one, am learning loads.
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: i agree about Ian Macdonald
	🥁 1:23pm Gina Bacon: You guys probably aready know about Mellotron Variations, a recent group made up of Mellotron enthusiasts Robby Grant, Pat Sansone (Wilco), Jonathan Kirkscey and John Medeski (Medeski, Martin & Wood). Really fun, and amazing live!
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Now that I think of it, Story in Your Eyes was the tube Fountains of Wayne covered (very nice cover)
	1:24pm spodiodi: thanks, Doug!
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: (McDonald)
	1:30pm dan: Who’s singing this one?
	1:32pm Bob Brainen: Gina, news to me! Sounds very cool. A group with 4 mellotrons is a very Strata East label-like concept!
	1:32pm Eugene J Bentley: Ironic that the mach1 version is in stereo and the mach2 is mono.
	1:33pm dale: punk band the dickies did nights in white satin and it makes toes tap.
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: I'm adding these to my list, Dale. Thanks!
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Dickies do a fun Pretty Ballerina too.
	🥁 1:36pm wmfromdumont: Bob, you don't have Stanley Cowell's Melloron Orch. on Strata-East?
	1:37pm doctorjazz: I saw Mellotron Variations, fun set!
	1:39pm Bob Brainen: Wm., I have Musa & Regeneration.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Coel, check your email!
	1:41pm Bob Brainen: And those are the only 2 listed-at least on the discography I use. But the label came back at some point. I'm hazy on that...
	🥁 1:42pm wmfromdumont: Bob, I joke. But can you imagine?
	1:42pm spodiodi: <3 Tuesday Afternoon <3
	🥁 1:42pm Gina Bacon: I loved it, doctorjazz! Especially the camera views of the innards working.
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: man i always loved this song
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Coel, check your email!
	🥁 1:45pm (Mr) Bill: This past week I breathed deep too damned much of the gathering gloom. Saturday morning-afternoon has been a tonic for all the toxicity. Immensely grateful for this show.
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: nice piece of detective work spodiodi by the way, earlier and Thanks for the link
	1:45pm fleabane: tuesday afternoon on a saturday afternoon
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: doc really?! i'm cooking ( and typing) so give me a few minutes
	1:47pm doctorjazz: No rush, Coel, just giving you a heads up.
	1:48pm spodiodi: my pleasure, coelacanth∅. good to see you! glad you saw the link
	1:49pm doctorjazz: The link to get here? That's how I found it as well, Spodi, thanks!
	1:50pm spodiodi: yw, and good to see you too, doctorjazz!
	1:51pm dale: chamberlin on this album, not mellotron.
	1:51pm dale: ...on this song at least....
	1:52pm watchpocket: Fave MBs album: TOCCC! First heard it on radio back when they'd play a whole LP uninterrupted. Fingers crossed we'll hear more from it today!
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: when i was little i was in my room and listening to the radio when this song came on my brother came home and turned on my father's stereo downstairs really loud with the bass up, same station Wow that was intense!
	🥁 1:53pm PT: dale: yes chamberlin. Your Moodies knowledge amazes!
	1:54pm dale: no....i'm just a nerd. love the core seven.
	🥁 1:54pm wmfromdumont: Bless you both for giving the Moodies some love!
	1:54pm watchpocket: Oh - just saw the time.
	🥁 1:54pm Gina Bacon: Thank you, Bob & Pete! Really nice. Looking forward to 5 hours!

	🥁 1:55pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks especially for all the early Moodys.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks doctor. (i haven't checked it yet, just getting some food in me)
	1:57pm Irene Trudel: Great show, Bob and Pete, although I think we need a part 2 to get to some later & solo stuff. But a very enjoyable journey.
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: Up next on your 24-hour Drummer Stream it's MUSIC FOR A FREE WORLD with Dave Sewelson. Dave's special guest today is David Haney. Tune for more stupendous music: wfmu.org...

	1:59pm dale: renaissance/illusion?

	1:59pm dale: two groups with the same name....
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: (gotta visit the archive for most of the animals)
	2:00pm Bob Brainen: Thank you Doug-twice! Thanks all!!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Dear Diary' riff reminds me of 'I Need Somebody' by TheStooges ! An unlikely association but there it is... Interesting the relation between 'Lose your Money' & 'Outside Woman Blues' by Cream - one guesses from a common Blues root ? ...Can't help but think of Frank O'Toole whenever there's Moodys on FMU... Always regarded the Moody Blues as a major link between Psychedelia & Progressive Rawk - probly yeah under-credited by Critics for their place. I often also think of the Moodys - relating to that - as a sort of flipside to earlier Pink Floyd - one that didn't relate to Psych as the Screaming Terrors ...& who said Psych must be the Screaming Terrors ? Not me (much as we love that) :p ... Thank You DJs Bob & Pete !

	10:15am Bob Brainen: Some memorable basslines for sure!
	10:15am Robbie White: "When I Was Young" is an incredible song. Thanks for playing it.
	10:16am Roberto: Gawd these lyrics are cringey AF and awesome at the same time.
	10:21am Roberto: "She was brown and I was pretty green" -- oy vey
	10:25am Jeff: I feel fortunate to have seen a reunion of all five original Animals back in the ‘80s. It was a great gig! I finally saw the Moody Blues a few years back after being a fan for 50+ years. Absolutely hated the gig! They did a bunch of tunes (from the ‘80s?) that the audience went bonkers over. Thought the material was mediocre. Hey, what’s Alan Price been doing?
	10:26am WR: Didn't remember that the Animals did Mess Around. One dot I hadn't connected before.
	10:26am Bob Brainen: Jeff, not many can say they saw both bands, good gig or bad! Alan Price? I wish I knew.
	10:31am northguineahills: Saying hi and bye, Gotta check out of the hotel! cheers!

	🥁 10:48am PT: Hey egould310 and everyone! Pete Tomlinson here.
	10:49am Bob Brainen: Hey SmokinJ, wow! What years/eras?
	10:49am SmokinJ: Gettin' my Brainen buzz baby! 8-)
	10:49am Listener Robert: Ach! Caught me off guard with the early extra hour.
	🥁 10:51am PT: I have it on good authority that San Franciscan nights are anything but warm!
	10:51am Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert, yeah we tried to get the word out as best we could on sort of short notice. The archive will be up in a few hours.
	10:52am SmokinJ: bb: Saw em' at the usual weird venues in 68' to 77' or so. Last flight was the 'Flyin' Eye' band at the WI state fair in 94'. Amazing cat... 8-)
	10:52am Bob Brainen: Depends on who you're with, PT!
	10:53am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ, impressive!
	10:53am SmokinJ: As are you my brother! ;-)
	10:54am Bob Brainen: Aw, thanks!
	10:56am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Bob! Best b-side ever!!!!
	🥁 10:58am PT: When I Was Young/Girl Named Sandoz: incredible standalone single, I bought it when I was 13, which gives my age away (as if I care)
	10:58am Gina Bacon: Happy Saturday, Bob & everyone!
	10:59am Bob Brainen: Hey bigplanetnoise! A good 'un, for sure.
	10:59am Listener Robert: Thanks, Mr. Brainen. I'm here with my friend Greg but we're leaving in a bit to a brew pub and then a barbecue, so we're making a note to listen on archive tomorrow. Greg is joyous to hear Animals and Moody Blues records. And to think we were wasting our time listening to a Loreena McKennit CD he'd brought. ;-)
	10:59am Bob Brainen: Hey Gina Bacon!
	🥁 10:59am wmfromdumont: Damn, late for the show. Mornin' Bob and Pete and all.
	11:00am 1whoknewcthulhu: Good morning, Bob and all!
	11:00am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!
	11:01am dan: Animals and Moody Blues. Hit the jackpot
	11:01am Irene Trudel: I think we just lost Bob on the stream!
	11:01am dan: That’s if it’ll play
	11:02am TDK60: Good morning Bob.
	🥁 11:03am listener 126464: Hi Bob, everyone.
	11:03am ?: Stream went up the creek
	11:05am Listener Robert: Now Greg is saying, "Oh, my God, a bummer! This I don't like." Greg is unrestrained regarding his preferences. I guess the show slipped back to the pre-programmed Drummer stream underneath. No offense to the DJ who curated it.
	11:06am Gina Bacon: Hoping they can get back on here!
	11:06am Bob Brainen: Doug's workin' on it.
	11:06am Franco Twinkie: Hey Bob!
	11:06am bigplanetnoise: Yay! Welcome back!
	11:07am dan: We’re on
	🥁 11:07am wmfromdumont: Burdon's short lived Latin phase.
	11:07am TDK60: Geordie accents.
	11:10am SmokinJ: Rockin' & Swingin' set bb.. Absolutely essential! 8-)
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: My sister saw The Animals in 1968 with a big salad oil light show behind the band. It was a Sunday afternoon show at a place that had a revolving stage across the street from Montgomery Ward.
	🥁 11:13am (Mr) Bill: Forgot about the early starting time. Damned old age.
	11:14am Doug Schulkind: Computers. You can't live with them and you can't live with them. Can't we all just go back to bangin' rocks?
	11:16am Kpx: Where am be E'body?
	11:18am TDK60: I'll go no further back than typewriters and telegraph, Doug.
	11:21am spodiodi: good morning, Bob and Pete! good morning Kpx, all!
	🥁 11:25am duke: Good morning everyone
	11:25am Andrew in Toronto: Let`s say a prayer from our hearts for our friends in New York, New Jersey and Louisiana please?
	11:25am spodiodi: good question, Kpx. holiday weekend is probably the reason... still. good question. gm, duke
	🥁 11:27am wmfromdumont: Hoagy Lands cut some beautiful sides.
	🥁 11:28am duke: Maybe everyone is sleeping late
	11:31am spodiodi: oh i bet there's another room... since they started early
	11:32am spodiodi: good morning, Bob, Pete, and everyone! was just in the other playlist (the one with the regular start time, and on the home page)
	11:32am Bob Brainen: Hey wmfromdumont, funny! But War has that Latin groove!
	🥁 11:33am (Mr) Bill: @Andrew in Toronto Thank you.
	11:33am doctorjazz: Who knew? Anyway, here now, sounding fine, Bob and Pete!
	11:33am Bob Brainen: Hey Franco Twinkie! Very cool!
	🥁 11:34am duke: Ha. I was in the other room. Thanks spodiodi
	11:34am Bob Brainen: Andrew in Toronto-yes, amen.
	11:34am Bob Brainen: Hey spodiodi!
	11:35am Bob Brainen: Hey duke!
	11:35am annie: really one of the best songs ever written..
	11:36am doctorjazz: Ahh, here's where the party is!
	11:37am watchpocket: Another special! Excellent.
	🥁 11:37am wmfromdumont: Alan Price's appearance in Don't Look Back is one of the highlights of that movie.
	11:38am Bob Brainen: annie, agree!
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Hey doctorjazz, we've been here since 10 today.
	11:38am watchpocket: Another special! Excellent.
	🥁 11:38am PT: Just checked, and Burdon is not listed as a writer of Spill The Wine, though every member of War is! Some after-the-fact backroom politics maybe?
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Hey watchpocket! 4 hours today: 10-2.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: PT, a lot of other characters would have added their name to the writer credits, so kudos to Eric!
	🥁 11:43am PT: wmfromdumont, agreed! Price is charming, funny, and maybe just a bit tipsy in Don't Look Back. Steals the show (almost)
	11:45am coelacanth∅: greetings Bob and all
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Greetings coelacanth∅!
	11:47am coelacanth∅: 'bunch a animals...
	11:50am annie: ok, laundry calls!!! sorry to split so soon.
	🥁 11:51am wmfromdumont: A little high?
	11:58am Eugene J Bentley: Hey Bob. excited about this special. You forgot to mention Don't Bring Me Down.
	11:59am gene sculatti: Hi, Bob. Digging the show.
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: ^ (for the record) on the album, all of war is included for songwriting credits for spill the wine (including Eric Burdon)
	🥁 12:00pm (Mr) Bill: Hey, Bob! I’ve been knocking at the door for decades, and I never get an answer. Hoping you’ll give me one by 2 p.m.!
	12:01pm Irene Trudel: Loving the show, guys! Looking forward to the Moodys now-- on of my all-time faves!
	🥁 12:02pm (Mr) Bill: GREAT start.
	12:03pm Franco Twinkie: I remember the first time I had that burning desire to go see a show that was out of my reach. It was New Years Eve 1969 at the Olympic Auditorium in L.A. The line up was - Love, The Youngbloods, Blue Cheer, Southwind and War. That following summer Spill The Wine was huge. The 70's had started and there was no turning back.
	🥁 12:03pm (Mr) Bill: I think I just found the lost chord.
	12:03pm Eugene J Bentley: I saw an interview with Carole King who penned Don't Bring Me Down with Gerry. She met up with Eric Burden at a clinic. She told him that she hated what he did to her song. 'But I learned to live with it'.
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: (MR) Bill, hey, sorry, good aftermorning!
	12:04pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Eugene!
	12:04pm coelacanth∅: i missed a conversation that took place on the air maybe but why wouldn't Burdon get writing credit for spill the wine? ...and why is his name (and a few others') discluded from the Isley's release of it, which came later?
	🥁 12:05pm wmfromdumont: Ray Thomas always came up with some cool numbers.
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Franco, what a line-up!
	🥁 12:06pm PT: coelacanthø: I got my info from Google, which serves me right if it's erroneous. Maybe the omission of Eric happened sometime between the album and now? Songwriters' missing/altered credits have been known to happen. Aaah, it's a fabulous song no matter who wrote it.
	12:06pm SmokinJ: @Franco Twinkie: Thank your lucky stars! It's nice to have been in the right place at the right time! I know... 8-)
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, interesting! I bet she liked the royalties! But RnR is full of such stories. Bacharach hated Love's Little Red Book but we love it!
	12:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: "The Moody Blues!" www.frinkiac.com...
	12:08pm Franco Twinkie: Yes indeed Bob and SmokinJ , but I didn't get to go! However, it lit the flame I'll tell you for sure.
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: Hey Ken From Hyde Park! Funny!
	12:11pm Listener Robert: This is one Greg never heard of.
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: FWIW, 45cat just says "War" as writer credit. But as Pete wrote, writer credits shift as time goes on, it is mysterious, sometimes righting a wrong, sometimes wronging a right.
	12:12pm SmokinJ: Great songs bb...
	12:12pm coelacanth∅: yeah there's no limit to misinformation. i'd trust wikipedia before google. who knows...my album credits all of them; but it's really curious to me that the Isleys 45 credits only 5 members of war. that couldn't have been too long after the original. but then - why wouldn't Burdon have been part of the creation of that song? it totally sounds like his work (to me)
	12:12pm dale: afternoon. gonna have to catch the first part of the show later. love early moodies.
	12:13pm Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert!
	12:14pm dale: hey now. i love the moodies, both iterations. the one with patrick moraz doesn't count.
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅, completely sounds like EB's lyrics, but...the guy can take any song/lyric and make it his own!
	🥁 12:15pm (Mr) Bill: R.I.P. Ray Thomas, especially the ‘Stacey. There’s a video of the Moodys’ playing “Departure/Ride My See-Saw” (Top of the Pops, maybe). Ray’s mincing around is priceless.
	12:16pm coelacanth∅: this is true...like that Carole King song!
	12:16pm Bob Brainen: Hey dale, yeah way beyond my area/era of interest so I can't judge.
	12:16pm dale: i NEVER heard this song and thought i'd heard everything denny laine did with them. live and learn
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: Love this early Moodys, Bob. You going chronologically, more or less?
	12:17pm Bob Brainen: Ray added a lot and he was there for a long long time.
	12:18pm Bob Brainen: Dale, we're using Pete's 2 CD Deluxe version of the 1st lp. TONS of rare singles and unreleased stuff. Well worth getting!
	🥁 12:18pm wmfromdumont: Moodies used to drop acid with their neighbor John Lennon.
	12:18pm Eugene J Bentley: I love the rare NIWS B-side Cities.
	12:18pm dale: when i bought caught live plus five these b-sides and singles were so good.
	🥁 12:19pm PT: dale: Jago & Jilly is from an incomplete and unreleased 2nd Moodies album to have been called "Look Out!" Its 1st appearance was on the 2014 Magnificent Moodies mega-deluxe edition.
	🥁 12:19pm (Mr) Bill: ‘stache, not ‘Stacey. Damned AutoIncorrect. Sorry.
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: very interesting. i'm not a huge moodys fan but like them. this stuff is totally new to me and pretty damned good!
	12:21pm dan: Mixing Denny and Justin like a deck of cards
	🥁 12:21pm (Mr) Bill: @Dale Got THAT right about Patrick Moraz.
	12:22pm Listener Robert: Greg is impressed. Has most of their albums, was at their concerts numerous times, finds this stuff "very strange" and unfamiliar, like it was another band.
	12:22pm dale: up to seventh sojourn is all anyone needs.
	12:24pm dan: Are you going to play The Four Tops’ version of A Simple Game?
	12:24pm doctorjazz: Haven't heard this in sooooooo long...
	12:25pm Listener Robert: Frankly, though, Greg doesn't like it (the several you played before Timothy Leary) as much as the numbers he was familiar with. I don't know if they'd previously not catered to his tastes, or he just got into a groove of familiarity.
	12:25pm Taavi: I can't ever hear this stuff, for '68 or so on, without wonder at how well the band was served by their engineers. Sounds fantastic, still...
	12:26pm Taavi: "from about," I mean...
	🥁 12:26pm (Mr) Bill: @Dale I agree, with the exception of “Steppin’ in a Slide Zone.”
	12:26pm dan: Epic flute
	🥁 12:28pm wmfromdumont: The mellotron master is in the house!
	🥁 12:28pm (Mr) Bill: @Taavi The dynamics on “Lovely to See You” are outta sight.
	12:28pm dale: robert - it was a different band basically with denny laine who went on to be in wings and clint warwick.
	🥁 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: I remember when Timothy Leary died and NPR had a short obit on “All Things Considered.” Still crushed that “Legend of a Mind” wasn’t played. What were they not thinking?
	12:31pm doctorjazz: A good friend who used to work at ASCAP texted me... Some years back, John Lodge came up to ASCAP for a Meet & Greet thing. He turned out to be the nicest guy in the world. I asked him how they got into the whole cosmic thing and he said "We were really bad a rock & roll and had to try something new."
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: haha Bill - Huge oversight on their part!
	🥁 12:32pm Gina Bacon: Hi bpn, very late!
	12:32pm dale: eric burdon recommended justin hayward as a singer to pinder. so there IS a connection.
	🥁 12:35pm (Mr) Bill: @doctorjazz — Great story.
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: hey dr.j yes good story! hi Gina!
	🥁 12:40pm Gina Bacon: Hi coelacanthø!
	🥁 12:42pm (Mr) Bill: Either Hayward and Lodge released an album titled “Blue Jays,” or I dreamed they did. Which is it?
	12:42pm dale: both of them together mr bill
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Hi Gina! Hi Coel! Hey all you Braineniacs!
	12:43pm Eugene J Bentley: Denny Laine had a solo career before hooking up with Wings. He penned Say You Don't Mine which be came a solo hit for Colin Blunstone.
	🥁 12:43pm wmfromdumont: A few nice tunes on Bluejays.
	12:43pm dale: oh the dawn is breaking on your future my child is there none of your love alive if every door you open, closes on me i don't know if i can survive
	12:43pm dan: Hope you play Our Guessing Game. Probably one of Ray Thomas’ best songs
	12:44pm dale: a couple of good tunes on pinder's 'the promise.'
	🥁 12:45pm wmfromdumont: My fave Moodies song!
	12:46pm Eugene J Bentley: The first chords of Love and Beauty sounds like Chopin.
	12:50pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, yes! Not surprising.
	12:50pm dale: another song that's new to me.
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: Does anyone have a fave Animals and Moodys album?
	12:51pm Eugene J Bentley: Am I psychic or what?
	12:53pm dale: seventh sojourn is my fave moody album.
	🥁 12:54pm wmfromdumont: I dig To Our Children's ....
	12:54pm Eugene J Bentley: It's toss up between Days and Seventh as my favorite Moodies album
	12:55pm Eugene J Bentley: To Our Children is up there too.
	12:56pm dale: ooh yeah. i never thought i'd get to be a hundred/million....watching and waiting (which they SHOULD have used in the movie wall e....
	12:56pm Bob Brainen: Eugene, from a Chopin Nocturne or Etude?
	12:57pm doctorjazz: Go Now is a favorite tune!
	12:57pm Eugene J Bentley: Is that the one that Barry Manilow used for Could it Be Magic?
	12:58pm Bob Brainen: It could be! I used to play it...ok ok ...fake it on the piano.
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: i admit i never knew go now was the moody blues
	1:00pm doctorjazz: Another fave! (I think Fountains of Wayne covered it, no?)
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: doctorjazz, I said to Pete that all these special shows, Brian's Jone's Stones, Hollies, Animals & Moodys have made me come away with more admiration for all of them.
	🥁 1:01pm (Mr) Bill: I’m with wmfromdumont, with “A Question of Balance” a creditable runner-up. “Every Good ... Favour” has a special place in my heart for being my portal to the group. A depressed 16-year-old middle-class suburban White kid aspiring to be the most sensitive male in the U.S. couldn’t not find “The Story in Your Eyes” to be the most cosmic piece of music since the Biblical Song of Songs.
	1:03pm Irene Trudel: To Our Children's Children's Children, absolutely my fave, followed closely by In Search of the Lost Chord. I first heard Children's when visiting a friend at Rutgers. It was Halloween and we dropped acid. As we walked into a student lounge, "Beyond" was playing on WRSU (which was piped into the lounge), quickly followed by "Out and In." I'd liked The Moodys before that but was totally hooked with this.
	🥁 1:04pm (Mr) Bill: “Go Now” was originally a (minor) Motown hit, I believe.
	1:04pm Bob Brainen: Irene, that is COSMIC!
	🥁 1:05pm (Mr) Bill: Are the Moodys pretty much ignored or trashed by “serious” rock critics?
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill, I'd say so. Inducted into RnR HoF in 2021, they were eligible in 1990(!) if that says anything.
	🥁 1:07pm wmfromdumont: Children's has really strong material from all members. Eternity Road is a Ray Thomas song that I love.
	1:08pm Irene Trudel: You know it! A great album even when not in an altered state. Later that same night we all went to see Andy Warhol's "Frankenstein" 3D. I remember laughing hysterically throughout the movie. Only tried LSD a few times because it got too weird for me.
	1:08pm Eugene J Bentley: Sad but true about the Moodies bein panned by rock critics. Rollong Stone Record Guide paned everything exept Days.
	1:09pm Irene Trudel: (Mr) Bill, I still have a 45 of "Story In Your Eyes." Another fave of mine.
	🥁 1:11pm (Mr) Bill: Irene: Hearing “Children’s” for the first time while tripping on Hallowe’en. I wouldn’t have survived.
	1:11pm dale: always loved procession. that organ is fantastic. do you have pinder's 'my song' on the t.t.?
	🥁 1:11pm (Mr) Bill: But I would have died in ecstasy.
	🥁 1:12pm (Mr) Bill: Did Pinder ever smile? And has anyone here given any love to Graeme Edge today?
	1:14pm Irene Trudel: (Mr) Bill, hearing those Moodys tunes that night was strangely comforting.
	1:14pm dale: graeme edge band with adrian gurvitz has some wild stuff on it.
	1:15pm dale: the story in your eyes follows procession.
	1:15pm Eugene J Bentley: Procession is from Every Good Boy Deserves Favour .
	🥁 1:16pm (Mr) Bill: “Procession” starts “EGBDF” and segues into “The Story in Your Eyes.” “A Question of Balance” opens with “Question” and closes with “The Balance.”
	🥁 1:17pm PT: Procession into Story in Your Eyes, of course, duh. Just wanted to see if y'all were listening!
	🥁 1:19pm (Mr) Bill: Oh, we’re listening, Pete — and I, for one, am learning loads.
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: i agree about Ian Macdonald
	🥁 1:23pm Gina Bacon: You guys probably aready know about Mellotron Variations, a recent group made up of Mellotron enthusiasts Robby Grant, Pat Sansone (Wilco), Jonathan Kirkscey and John Medeski (Medeski, Martin & Wood). Really fun, and amazing live!
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Now that I think of it, Story in Your Eyes was the tube Fountains of Wayne covered (very nice cover)
	1:24pm spodiodi: thanks, Doug!
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: (McDonald)
	1:30pm dan: Who’s singing this one?
	1:32pm Bob Brainen: Gina, news to me! Sounds very cool. A group with 4 mellotrons is a very Strata East label-like concept!
	1:32pm Eugene J Bentley: Ironic that the mach1 version is in stereo and the mach2 is mono.
	1:33pm dale: punk band the dickies did nights in white satin and it makes toes tap.
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: I'm adding these to my list, Dale. Thanks!
	1:34pm Bob Brainen: Dickies do a fun Pretty Ballerina too.
	🥁 1:36pm wmfromdumont: Bob, you don't have Stanley Cowell's Melloron Orch. on Strata-East?
	1:37pm doctorjazz: I saw Mellotron Variations, fun set!
	1:39pm Bob Brainen: Wm., I have Musa & Regeneration.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Coel, check your email!
	1:41pm Bob Brainen: And those are the only 2 listed-at least on the discography I use. But the label came back at some point. I'm hazy on that...
	🥁 1:42pm wmfromdumont: Bob, I joke. But can you imagine?
	1:42pm spodiodi: <3 Tuesday Afternoon <3
	🥁 1:42pm Gina Bacon: I loved it, doctorjazz! Especially the camera views of the innards working.
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: man i always loved this song
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Coel, check your email!
	🥁 1:45pm (Mr) Bill: This past week I breathed deep too damned much of the gathering gloom. Saturday morning-afternoon has been a tonic for all the toxicity. Immensely grateful for this show.
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: nice piece of detective work spodiodi by the way, earlier and Thanks for the link
	1:45pm fleabane: tuesday afternoon on a saturday afternoon
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: doc really?! i'm cooking ( and typing) so give me a few minutes
	1:47pm doctorjazz: No rush, Coel, just giving you a heads up.
	1:48pm spodiodi: my pleasure, coelacanth∅. good to see you! glad you saw the link
	1:49pm doctorjazz: The link to get here? That's how I found it as well, Spodi, thanks!
	1:50pm spodiodi: yw, and good to see you too, doctorjazz!
	1:51pm dale: chamberlin on this album, not mellotron.
	1:51pm dale: ...on this song at least....
	1:52pm watchpocket: Fave MBs album: TOCCC! First heard it on radio back when they'd play a whole LP uninterrupted. Fingers crossed we'll hear more from it today!
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: when i was little i was in my room and listening to the radio when this song came on my brother came home and turned on my father's stereo downstairs really loud with the bass up, same station Wow that was intense!
	🥁 1:53pm PT: dale: yes chamberlin. Your Moodies knowledge amazes!
	1:54pm dale: no....i'm just a nerd. love the core seven.
	🥁 1:54pm wmfromdumont: Bless you both for giving the Moodies some love!
	1:54pm watchpocket: Oh - just saw the time.
	🥁 1:54pm Gina Bacon: Thank you, Bob & Pete! Really nice. Looking forward to 5 hours!
	1:54pm dale: octave was 77 i think.
	1:54pm Doug Schulkind: What a morning/afternoon! Thank you gentlemen for the wonderful sounds.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob and Pete, great show!
	🥁 1:55pm (Mr) Bill: Thanks especially for all the early Moodys.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks doctor. (i haven't checked it yet, just getting some food in me)
	1:57pm Irene Trudel: Great show, Bob and Pete, although I think we need a part 2 to get to some later & solo stuff. But a very enjoyable journey.
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: Up next on your 24-hour Drummer Stream it's MUSIC FOR A FREE WORLD with Dave Sewelson. Dave's special guest today is David Haney. Tune for more stupendous music: wfmu.org...
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: Bob if i'm not mistaken there were many standard 4-hour shifts when you started at wfmu... not you though?
	🥁 1:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Bob, thank you Pete. Appreciate your time, effort, etc.!
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromdumont: Pinder is God!
	1:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Bob and Pete!
	1:58pm dale: thanks for sounds and enthusiasm for a group i always feel like is too uncool for the station
	1:58pm watchpocket: Super-nice program, thanks for the selections, Bob & Pete.
	1:59pm dale: renaissance/illusion?
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bob! Thanks Pete! Excellent program!
	1:59pm dale: two groups with the same name....
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: (gotta visit the archive for most of the animals)
	2:00pm Bob Brainen: Thank you Doug-twice! Thanks all!!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Dear Diary' riff reminds me of 'I Need Somebody' by TheStooges ! An unlikely association but there it is... Interesting the relation between 'Lose your Money' & 'Outside Woman Blues' by Cream - one guesses from a common Blues root ? ...Can't help but think of Frank O'Toole whenever there's Moodys on FMU... Always regarded the Moody Blues as a major link between Psychedelia & Progressive Rawk - probly yeah under-credited by Critics for their place. I often also think of the Moodys - relating to that - as a sort of flipside to earlier Pink Floyd - one that didn't relate to Psych as the Screaming Terrors ...& who said Psych must be the Screaming Terrors ? Not me (much as we love that) :p ... Thank You DJs Bob & Pete !
