	11:10am Bob Brainen: Morning chresti!
	🥁 11:10am wmfromdumont: That was different version of Sell Out than the one that's on the Neil Young Archives set. No?
	11:11am Uncle Michael: Baby, it's you.
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Hey wmfromdumont, my sources say this is a longer version.
	11:12am Pauly from Clifton: Good morning, Bob, folks!
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Hey Pauly from Clifton! If that's Clifton, N.J. it's one of my hometowns.
	11:14am TDK60: I would request "Cold Wind" off the "Clear" album. Thanks, gracias if so. (Nice if so, but there are so many other great tracks too.)
	11:16am Pauly from Clifton: Bob, yup, good 'ol Clifton, NJ! I lived there for 25 years before moving to DC.
	🥁 11:16am wmfromdumont: The version on the Archives set doesn't have Dr. J on it and it has a fuller band sound in general.
	🥁 11:17am (Mr) Bill: It’s 1966 all over again. I recall being in school on 6/6/66 and writing the number on the board over and over and over.
	11:17am Franco Twinkie: My introduction to Spirit was in junior high. A friend had the first album. He had a blond high-fi on spindly legs he had appropriated from the living room in bedroom closet. We would close the door, turn on the black light and trip out.
	11:18am Bob Brainen: I lived in Colonial Gardens-Piaget Ave. Later, all my friends were from Allwood section,. BIG town, as you know.
	11:18am TDK60: I used to have this Jeremy & The Satyrs LP. But some pal must have needed it more! (It's gone.) Jeremy Steig on flute, right?
	11:18am Gerry from Miami: BOB, is that Jeremy Steig on flute? He was tootling his flute even before Ian Anderson, I believe. And don't forget "Flute Thing" by the Blues Project!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: wm. interesting! I forget other players, maybe Bob West-bass?
	11:20am Uncle Michael: I love rocky road...
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami. Yes.
	11:20am WR: Hi all, glad to be listening.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Welcome WR!
	11:21am gene sculatti: The Flash! Man, this edition is going off in all directions: great start!
	11:22am Bob Brainen: TDK-60 excellent choice!
	11:22am Pauly from Clifton: Bob, I grew up in the Athenia section off of Colfax Ave near Clifton High. I know Colonial Village and Piaget Ave well. There used to be a great bagel place on Piaget as well as a great Kosher butcher. Loved Allwood! I bought my first singles at Gaslight Records!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene S, thanks!
	🥁 11:23am wmfromdumont: I think the version on Archives is credited to the Springfield, but it was recorded during the Down To the Wire period so it could be Bob.
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Sunshine go away road.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: And a great Kosher Deli down the road! Gaslight in Styertowne!
	11:27am luka: that big horn during the chorus under where the vocals usually are sure is something
	11:27am Jay S: Hi-ho!
	11:27am Listener Robert: Never knew the title of this one. I guess it fits.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Hi-ho Jay S!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert!
	11:28am PT: Next best thing to a Delfonics stack-o-tracks. Lush! Is this the future MFSB? And Gathering Crowds! I’m in a This Week in Baseball reverie. Killing it, BB!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: PT, thought of you, they shoulda boosted the electric sitar!
	11:29am dan: This John Scott is a mix of Tchaikovsky and Copland
	11:36am Pauly from Clifton: Bob Styertowne was a great place for pre teens and teens to find mischief!
	11:38am Yes: hey all
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Pauly, absolutely. Bonds! Rowe-Manse, etc.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Morning Yes!
	11:45am Pauly from Clifton: Bob funny that you mention Rowe Manse. Our first order of business at Styertowne was to go to the Rowe Manse Emporium and see how fast we were thrown out. Jeez we were such obnoxious shits. I owe somebody an apology there!
	11:49am dan: Sonny got that right
	11:49am TDK60: Pauly, Bob: What was/is Styertowne? A retail strip? Rings a bell but... (Grew up in Nutley as child.)
	11:50am Bob Brainen: dan, his early passing was like a double loss. A wonderful person and a wonderful musician.
	11:55am Docrock: Good morning Bob, Jeff and everyone listening.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Hey Docrock!
	12:08pm WR: Nice, some how I had missed that John Hicks had a recording on Strata East.
	12:09pm Pauly from Clifton: TDK60, Styertowne is a shopping center just off of Route 3. It was spitting distance from Nutley. Hoffman LaRoche was just down the road. Styertowne had everything, plus the Rizzuto-Berra Bowling Alley off the back parking lot!
	12:09pm Little Danny: Hello Bob, hello all!
	12:10pm Yes: this is real nice
	12:11pm TDK60: Pauly, Thanks. That's it, that shopping area just over the border. Yeah, we used to go there. Was always looking for Yogi.
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Hey Hey Little Danny!
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Pauly. TDK-60, we moved from Clifton to Nutley!
	12:17pm Little Danny: Helen Merrill is an all-time fave vocalist, her vocals are always so dreamy
	12:18pm Bob Brainen: Little Danny, same here!
	12:20pm Pauly from Clifton: TDK60, sure did make sense to me until I found out that the Lanes were named after two baseball players!
	12:22pm dan: Nice transition from Waxman to Debussy
	12:25pm WR: Playing the Hits, Have not listened to the Debussy string quartets in years. Thank you for that taste!
	12:25pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone. Enjoying the set.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub, thanks!
	12:31pm TDK60: That Morning/Jay Donnellan guitar style or timbre on Sleepy /might/ have been influenced by Randy California's innovative sounds from across town!
	🥁 12:31pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob & early risers. Thought Jay Donnellan's guitar on Four Sail was good, especially August.
	12:33pm TDK60: Brian in UK. Hello. Yes, that August song is something.
	12:34pm Franco Twinkie: There is a story about Arthur Lee and Jay Donnellen getting into a fist fight before a gig in Oakland that precipitated him getting the boot from Love. Jay was big guy, I saw him with Arthur at UCLA much later. I guess the fight was a draw.
	🥁 12:35pm Brian in UK: Bob, you got some Fresh Garbage next week.
	12:36pm mauri: Hey Bob and all!
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Hey Brian in UK! Great piece. F.G.? that's an affirmative.
	12:36pm Little Danny: Milt Okun occupied a curious place on the fringes of the folk scene and the New York City record industry, had no idea he was involved with this Nyro demo
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Hey mauri!
	12:37pm Little Danny: wow, this is already great
	🥁 12:37pm Brian in UK: Hello TDK60 & our Finnish friend.
	🥁 12:37pm (Mr) Bill: Hearing this audition tape is like reading the Ten Commandments etched in the original stone.
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: He produced her 1st album, did a good job, but when she hit Columbia next, Charlie Calello was a wonderful match for her.
	🥁 12:39pm Brian in UK: Sometimes demo/audition songs need no more work. Witness Otis Redding's 'You Left the Water Running'.
	12:39pm Little Danny: Okun also had some oddball releases to his own name, like a very groovy instrumental version of "Oh Calcutta."
	12:40pm TDK60: Hi Little Danny. Was Okun involved with Peter, Paul & Mary?
	12:40pm Little Danny: that I don't know TDK, hi!
	12:43pm Little Danny: This Juana Molina album has held up very, very well - loving this set Bob!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: Danny, she is s one-off in my book. A unique sensibility. And thanks!
	12:46pm TDK60: DJ Little Danny. Yes, just checked; Okun was musical director on some P, P & M slabs.
	12:47pm Little Danny: that totally makes sense, thanks TDK!
	🥁 12:47pm wmfromdumont: Did Junkyard Angel do anything on their own?
	12:48pm Bob Brainen: wm, I wish! If they did I do not know of it.
	🥁 12:50pm wmfromdumont: They just sound so tight and well-seasoned, i'm surprised.
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: me too! Great writers and players and yet they came and went. Very mysterious..
	12:55pm Little Danny: Former Drummer DJ Mayuko is involved in this Rabbit Rules
	🥁 12:55pm PT: Junkyard Angel were Carlisle buddies of Mike H. I assume they were a group pre-Harrison's album (they were too tight an ensemble not to be), but they completely disappeared afterward, as you say. Oh, those musical mysteries...
	12:56pm Yes: NRPS!
	12:58pm zzz: more garcia steel always a treat to hear new riders
	🥁 12:58pm wmfromdumont: There is an earlier version of All I Ever Wanted from '69 that is imho the version to hear.
	1:00pm Yes: That was real pretty
	1:02pm zzz: is it a live version @wmfromdumont?
	🥁 1:03pm wmfromdumont: It was a studio date from late '69 with the original line-up with Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart.
	🥁 1:06pm Brian in UK: Mulatu calls from two rooms away.
	1:06pm zzz: nice i’ll try to find it.
	1:08pm zzz: heliocentrics are so good. was recently listening to last transmission with melvin van peebles (rip)
	🥁 1:09pm wmfromdumont: @zzz. It's on an album called Before Time Began.
	1:11pm Yes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDZlojMfOoc
	🥁 1:12pm Gina Bacon: This is really nice! I have recordings of myself doing this kind of thing in high school, with my brother on piano.
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Wow, Gina the high school poet! Are there any recordings?
	1:15pm Stephen O: Make those available please, Gina
	🥁 1:16pm chresti: Goodness, beautiful blossoms of the moooonnnn!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: Kenneth Patchen was ham.
	1:18pm Bob Brainen: Franco, that's cool. I love his delivery. I think he was trying to phrase like an improvising instrument.
	1:27pm Franco Twinkie: I have heard other recordings of Kenneth. He knew exactly what he was doing. I imagine he was channeling the orator in old Warner Brothers cartoons that gets pelted with tomatoes.
	1:27pm pgalub: The Brother Bones actually reminded me of "My 3 Sons." ;)
	1:29pm Franco Twinkie: Me too! I could not sleep for years after I first saw it on television as a kid.
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: Franco, lol-at Patchen remark.
	1:31pm dan: NRBQ sounding like Chad & Jeremy on this number
	🥁 1:31pm Gina Bacon: There are, Franko! Beatnick aspirations...
	🥁 1:31pm Gina Bacon: I dunno, Stephen O.
	1:36pm Franco Twinkie: Of course Gina. Discovering the beats is a right of passage for teenagers of a certain bent.
	1:39pm dan: One of Keith Reid’s weirder lyrics
	1:40pm Bob Brainen: how lucky we are that Reid and Brooker found each other!
	🥁 1:52pm Brian in UK: Great selections, Bob. Clear the decks for Spirit. Spirit of '76 does the job for me.
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks a lot!
	1:55pm TDK60: Well thanks, Bob. I really hope to be here next week for the Spirit special. (If not, a definite archive visit later!...)
	1:56pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Bob.
	1:57pm dan: Great show Bob
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromdumont: Thanks Bob. Looking forward to the Spirit special.
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: What TDK said. But none the less, fantastic show. Thanks!
	1:59pm Bob Brainen: Thanks all!
	🥁 2:02pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	10:35am Dave: Looking forward to hear the Spirit program. Hope you can venture into the Milton Berle connection and share some gems from Randy, Jay, Mark, John and Ed.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Thank You Always DJ BB ~

	11:18am Gerry from Miami: BOB, is that Jeremy Steig on flute? He was tootling his flute even before Ian Anderson, I believe. And don't forget "Flute Thing" by the Blues Project!
	11:19am Bob Brainen: wm. interesting! I forget other players, maybe Bob West-bass?
	11:20am Uncle Michael: I love rocky road...
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami. Yes.
	11:20am WR: Hi all, glad to be listening.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Welcome WR!
	11:21am gene sculatti: The Flash! Man, this edition is going off in all directions: great start!
	11:22am Bob Brainen: TDK-60 excellent choice!
	11:22am Pauly from Clifton: Bob, I grew up in the Athenia section off of Colfax Ave near Clifton High. I know Colonial Village and Piaget Ave well. There used to be a great bagel place on Piaget as well as a great Kosher butcher. Loved Allwood! I bought my first singles at Gaslight Records!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: Hey Gene S, thanks!
	🥁 11:23am wmfromdumont: I think the version on Archives is credited to the Springfield, but it was recorded during the Down To the Wire period so it could be Bob.
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Sunshine go away road.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: And a great Kosher Deli down the road! Gaslight in Styertowne!
	11:27am luka: that big horn during the chorus under where the vocals usually are sure is something
	11:27am Jay S: Hi-ho!
	11:27am Listener Robert: Never knew the title of this one. I guess it fits.
	11:27am Bob Brainen: Hi-ho Jay S!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Hey Listener Robert!
	11:28am PT: Next best thing to a Delfonics stack-o-tracks. Lush! Is this the future MFSB? And Gathering Crowds! I’m in a This Week in Baseball reverie. Killing it, BB!
	11:28am Bob Brainen: PT, thought of you, they shoulda boosted the electric sitar!
	11:29am dan: This John Scott is a mix of Tchaikovsky and Copland
	11:36am Pauly from Clifton: Bob Styertowne was a great place for pre teens and teens to find mischief!
	11:38am Yes: hey all
	11:38am Bob Brainen: Pauly, absolutely. Bonds! Rowe-Manse, etc.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Morning Yes!
	11:45am Pauly from Clifton: Bob funny that you mention Rowe Manse. Our first order of business at Styertowne was to go to the Rowe Manse Emporium and see how fast we were thrown out. Jeez we were such obnoxious shits. I owe somebody an apology there!
	11:49am dan: Sonny got that right
	11:49am TDK60: Pauly, Bob: What was/is Styertowne? A retail strip? Rings a bell but... (Grew up in Nutley as child.)
	11:50am Bob Brainen: dan, his early passing was like a double loss. A wonderful person and a wonderful musician.
	11:55am Docrock: Good morning Bob, Jeff and everyone listening.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Hey Docrock!
	12:08pm WR: Nice, some how I had missed that John Hicks had a recording on Strata East.
	12:09pm Pauly from Clifton: TDK60, Styertowne is a shopping center just off of Route 3. It was spitting distance from Nutley. Hoffman LaRoche was just down the road. Styertowne had everything, plus the Rizzuto-Berra Bowling Alley off the back parking lot!
	12:09pm Little Danny: Hello Bob, hello all!
	12:10pm Yes: this is real nice
	12:11pm TDK60: Pauly, Thanks. That's it, that shopping area just over the border. Yeah, we used to go there. Was always looking for Yogi.
	12:14pm Bob Brainen: Hey Hey Little Danny!
	12:15pm Bob Brainen: Thanks Pauly. TDK-60, we moved from Clifton to Nutley!
	12:17pm Little Danny: Helen Merrill is an all-time fave vocalist, her vocals are always so dreamy
	12:18pm Bob Brainen: Little Danny, same here!
	12:20pm Pauly from Clifton: TDK60, sure did make sense to me until I found out that the Lanes were named after two baseball players!
	12:22pm dan: Nice transition from Waxman to Debussy
	12:25pm WR: Playing the Hits, Have not listened to the Debussy string quartets in years. Thank you for that taste!
	12:25pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone. Enjoying the set.
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Hey pgalub, thanks!
	12:31pm TDK60: That Morning/Jay Donnellan guitar style or timbre on Sleepy /might/ have been influenced by Randy California's innovative sounds from across town!
	🥁 12:31pm Brian in UK: Hello Bob & early risers. Thought Jay Donnellan's guitar on Four Sail was good, especially August.
	12:33pm TDK60: Brian in UK. Hello. Yes, that August song is something.
	12:34pm Franco Twinkie: There is a story about Arthur Lee and Jay Donnellen getting into a fist fight before a gig in Oakland that precipitated him getting the boot from Love. Jay was big guy, I saw him with Arthur at UCLA much later. I guess the fight was a draw.
	🥁 12:35pm Brian in UK: Bob, you got some Fresh Garbage next week.
	12:36pm mauri: Hey Bob and all!
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Hey Brian in UK! Great piece. F.G.? that's an affirmative.
	12:36pm Little Danny: Milt Okun occupied a curious place on the fringes of the folk scene and the New York City record industry, had no idea he was involved with this Nyro demo
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Hey mauri!
	12:37pm Little Danny: wow, this is already great
	🥁 12:37pm Brian in UK: Hello TDK60 & our Finnish friend.
	🥁 12:37pm (Mr) Bill: Hearing this audition tape is like reading the Ten Commandments etched in the original stone.
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: He produced her 1st album, did a good job, but when she hit Columbia next, Charlie Calello was a wonderful match for her.
	🥁 12:39pm Brian in UK: Sometimes demo/audition songs need no more work. Witness Otis Redding's 'You Left the Water Running'.
	12:39pm Little Danny: Okun also had some oddball releases to his own name, like a very groovy instrumental version of "Oh Calcutta."
	12:40pm TDK60: Hi Little Danny. Was Okun involved with Peter, Paul & Mary?
	12:40pm Little Danny: that I don't know TDK, hi!
	12:43pm Little Danny: This Juana Molina album has held up very, very well - loving this set Bob!
	12:44pm Bob Brainen: Danny, she is s one-off in my book. A unique sensibility. And thanks!
	12:46pm TDK60: DJ Little Danny. Yes, just checked; Okun was musical director on some P, P & M slabs.
	12:47pm Little Danny: that totally makes sense, thanks TDK!
	🥁 12:47pm wmfromdumont: Did Junkyard Angel do anything on their own?
	12:48pm Bob Brainen: wm, I wish! If they did I do not know of it.
	🥁 12:50pm wmfromdumont: They just sound so tight and well-seasoned, i'm surprised.
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: me too! Great writers and players and yet they came and went. Very mysterious..
	12:55pm Little Danny: Former Drummer DJ Mayuko is involved in this Rabbit Rules
	🥁 12:55pm PT: Junkyard Angel were Carlisle buddies of Mike H. I assume they were a group pre-Harrison's album (they were too tight an ensemble not to be), but they completely disappeared afterward, as you say. Oh, those musical mysteries...
	12:56pm Yes: NRPS!
	12:58pm zzz: more garcia steel always a treat to hear new riders
	🥁 12:58pm wmfromdumont: There is an earlier version of All I Ever Wanted from '69 that is imho the version to hear.
	1:00pm Yes: That was real pretty
	1:02pm zzz: is it a live version @wmfromdumont?
	🥁 1:03pm wmfromdumont: It was a studio date from late '69 with the original line-up with Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart.
	🥁 1:06pm Brian in UK: Mulatu calls from two rooms away.
	1:06pm zzz: nice i’ll try to find it.
	1:08pm zzz: heliocentrics are so good. was recently listening to last transmission with melvin van peebles (rip)
	🥁 1:09pm wmfromdumont: @zzz. It's on an album called Before Time Began.
	1:11pm Yes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDZlojMfOoc
	🥁 1:12pm Gina Bacon: This is really nice! I have recordings of myself doing this kind of thing in high school, with my brother on piano.
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Wow, Gina the high school poet! Are there any recordings?
	1:15pm Stephen O: Make those available please, Gina
	🥁 1:16pm chresti: Goodness, beautiful blossoms of the moooonnnn!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: Kenneth Patchen was ham.
	1:18pm Bob Brainen: Franco, that's cool. I love his delivery. I think he was trying to phrase like an improvising instrument.
	1:27pm Franco Twinkie: I have heard other recordings of Kenneth. He knew exactly what he was doing. I imagine he was channeling the orator in old Warner Brothers cartoons that gets pelted with tomatoes.
	1:27pm pgalub: The Brother Bones actually reminded me of "My 3 Sons." ;)
	1:29pm Franco Twinkie: Me too! I could not sleep for years after I first saw it on television as a kid.
	1:30pm Bob Brainen: Franco, lol-at Patchen remark.
	1:31pm dan: NRBQ sounding like Chad & Jeremy on this number
	🥁 1:31pm Gina Bacon: There are, Franko! Beatnick aspirations...
	🥁 1:31pm Gina Bacon: I dunno, Stephen O.
	1:36pm Franco Twinkie: Of course Gina. Discovering the beats is a right of passage for teenagers of a certain bent.
	1:39pm dan: One of Keith Reid’s weirder lyrics
	1:40pm Bob Brainen: how lucky we are that Reid and Brooker found each other!
	🥁 1:52pm Brian in UK: Great selections, Bob. Clear the decks for Spirit. Spirit of '76 does the job for me.
	1:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks a lot!
	1:55pm TDK60: Well thanks, Bob. I really hope to be here next week for the Spirit special. (If not, a definite archive visit later!...)
	1:56pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Bob.
	1:57pm dan: Great show Bob
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromdumont: Thanks Bob. Looking forward to the Spirit special.
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: What TDK said. But none the less, fantastic show. Thanks!
	1:59pm Bob Brainen: Thanks all!
	🥁 2:02pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	10:35am Dave: Looking forward to hear the Spirit program. Hope you can venture into the Milton Berle connection and share some gems from Randy, Jay, Mark, John and Ed.
	10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Thank You Always DJ BB ~
