	🥁 11:08am Will, a Sound Guy: Hi Bob and all!!!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: Morning doctorjazz!
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Morning Will, a Sound Guy!
	🥁 11:14am (Mr) Bill: Halfway through July in 46 minutes.
	11:14am Bob Brainen: Morning (Mr) Bill, marker of time!
	🥁 11:16am (Mr) Bill: I hold an advanced degree in marking time—with a minor in wasting it.
	🥁 11:16am wmfromD: Is July half empty or half full?
	11:16am gene sculatti: Morning, Bob!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: Morning Gene!
	11:19am doctorjazz: Love this Ornette!
	11:21am doctorjazz: (Jerry Garcia guests on this album, but only on 3 tracks, not this one)
	11:24am Bob Brainen: Doctorjazz, if I didn't know that I would never know from listening. He is as uncharacteristically non "Garcia" as he ever sounded to my ears.
	🥁 11:25am (Mr) Bill: @wmfromD A brilliant, hilarious question. Aristotle says half full, Plato says half empty, the Buddha says completely empty, and Laura Nyro says both, so let’s save the country.
	11:25am PT: Good Morning BB and all who travel with him! I thought the Billy Boy Arnold song was “Rockin’ It Is”, as in “You want rockin’? Then rockin’ it is!”, but it’s actually “Rockin’-itis”, as in the Rockin’ disease. I spend a whole lot of time thinking about this stuff.
	11:26am Bob Brainen: Morning Pete!
	11:29am SmokinJ: Happy Saturday bb & all! 8-)
	11:30am doctorjazz: Bob, go back and listen to those 3 tracks on Virgin Beauty ("3 Wishes", "Singing in the Shower", "Desert Players"), you can definitely hear it's Jerry.

	🥁 11:33am wmfromD: @(Mr) Bill, I'll defer to Ms. Nyro.
	11:35am Bob Brainen: Morning SmokinJ!
	11:36am Bob Brainen: OK doctorjazz, will do.
	🥁 11:39am Will, a Sound Guy: Bob, I see what you are talking about
	11:40am PT: Hey Bob, we had the same mis-reading of the Billy Boy Arnold title. Seeing as how we’re on the same wavelength, we ought to do a show together sometime!
	11:41am Bob Brainen: OK Pete, it's a deal!
	11:42am WR: Penny Goodwin! New to me! Very nice. Reissue on bandcamp since 2006
	11:58am dan: 1960s oboe tracks in pop music are great
	11:58am doctorjazz: The Left Banke's "almost" hit. Very nice!
	12:11pm dan: Probably the Gold Standard in 20th Century classical music
	12:18pm Gerry from Miami: MORNIN', BOB! I heard you say you were around 10 years old when the Shirelle's "Mama Said" hit the charts. I waa in 9th grade then and had just turned 14 a couple of months earlier. It was indeed a smash among all my classmates. One of the records our gym teachers would often play while teaching us how to "social dance." We loved Shirley and the girls!
	12:20pm dan: @Bob @PT One of your monthly shows needs to be on Australian rock and pop of the 1970s and 80s
	12:21pm pgalub: Hey Bob and everyone. Always loved this piece.
	12:24pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, you can play Aaron Copland all day long if you wish! He is one of the nonpareils of American music.
	12:25pm Bob Brainen: Hey Gerry from Miami! I would have been 8. Shirelles were local favorites/heroes, from the city my whole family came from: Passaic, N.J.
	12:29pm Gerry from Miami: "Mama Said" was released in April 1961. It was their follow-up to "Dedicated to the One I Love."
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Afternoon pgalub!
	12:36pm Bob Brainen: Simple Gifts is a Shaker song, did I say Quaker?
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: What I most liked about Copland was his insertion of hymns and folk songs into his pieces. Just like Charles Ives. And "Simple Gifts" is a Shaker hymn, not a Quaker one.
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: Simultaneous realization, BOB! LOL!
	12:39pm pgalub: Also I think Ives uses that same hymn in his 4th symphony. Guess it got around!
	🥁 12:41pm (Mr) Bill: Too bad the Shakers stopped shakin’ and died out.
	🥁 12:43pm (Mr) Bill: Upon second thought, the Shakers did keep shakin’. Their demise was due to the refusal to rattle and-or roll.
	12:51pm Bob Brainen: Yeah, hard to fathom a sect that does not think of the future of the species.
	🥁 12:53pm Will, a Sound Guy: I've gotta cut out, thank you Bob! Be well everyone!!!
	12:53pm gene sculatti: "Moonlight in Vermont": aren't all versions great? Carter's is esp. cool.
	🥁 12:54pm (Mr) Bill: Less distance between Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan than I perceived in my younger days.
	12:56pm Gerry from Miami: @pgalub. Ives used a lot of hymns in his 4th Symphony, but I don't think "Simple Gifts" was one of them. "Nearer, My God to Thee" and "In the Sweet By and By" are quoted, though. I find Charles Ives to be one of the most fascinating figures in American music. He became rich through the insurance business, but devoted himself to following his artistic muse, composing some of the richest, most complex music in the catalog. Amazing!
	1:03pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, your second dip into the Ornette catalog today is an interesting one. Trying to "vocalize" his music is no simple matter! Kudos to Jocque and LeScott!
	🥁 1:14pm wmfromD: Bob, my sentiments exactly re: Truly Fine Citizen.
	1:28pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks for the great tunes!
	1:35pm Gerry from Miami: Two doses of Dolphy today! Yowza! Can never get enough of Eric! And paired with Booker Little---jazz heaven!
	1:45pm Gerry from Miami: Jersey strong! The db's were Clay Pigeon's Artists of the Week upon his return from vacationing in Greece. Worthy choice.
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the great show!
	🥁 1:52pm wmfromD: Going out with one of the best! Great show Bob.
	1:57pm Gerry from Miami: OK, BOB, that's two songs from my junior high gym class "social dancing" lessons! You are clairvoyant! Thanks for the great show today. They don't make 'em like the Flamingos any more! See ya next week!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Fabulous show today, Bob. Thanks for all the shakin’ and quakin’.
