Listener comments!
	7:02pm Observations: We are live!
	7:13pm Observations: PEACE - it’s up to you
	🥁 7:14pm WR: Hi David. Shucks, missed that Milt Jackson track. Looks interesting.
	7:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...love that little ArthurBrown drop...
	7:42pm Observations: Archie Shepp solo
	7:43pm Observations: Milford Graves on drums
	7:53pm Observations: Repo Man!
	🥁 8:17pm WR: Heath Bros & Cowell, such a lovely recording.!!!
	8:17pm Observations: Almost everything today is from vinyl
	8:18pm Observations: This is an original Strata-East record
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: That was an unusual Heath Bros piece.
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: Presumably, Smilin’ Billy is Billy Higgins.
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: Of course, a minute after I wrote that it sounds unusual it began to sound exactly like the Heath Bros!
	🥁 8:33pm WR: Billy Higgins is a reasonably guess but seems it is someone in the Heath family.
	8:34pm zzz: great track. rap snitches telling all their business. hey @observetions and all
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: @WR, I don’t really know who it refers to, but I’ve often heard Higgins called Smilin’ Billy Higgins, and he does in fact smile angelically while playing. Also, there was a drum feature in the piece. No doubt later someone will inform us that it refers to Miles Davis as an inside joke or something.
	9:04pm Observations: My Charles Tolliver interview:: www.mixcloud.com...
	9:04pm Listener Gregory: Sadly, I have to run, but that will leave the way clear to correct all my errors without my interference. Thanks, David!
	9:08pm zzz: very groovy
	🥁 9:09pm WR: Thank you for the Tolliver interview link. will check it out soon.
	9:18pm Observations: Original Deep Groove vinyl !!!!!!
	9:18pm Observations: If you care about such things
	🥁 9:19pm WR: LG, you are correct: "The album included Jimmy’s four-part “Smiling Billy Suite” (dedicated to the drummer Billy Higgins)". That quote is from Jimmy Heath's NYT obituary. On the back cover of the album is a comment that the album title, suggested by their sister Betty, "Marchin' On" was in honor of their parents so I was looking for further family connections. There are, but Smilin' Billy wasn't one of them.
	🥁 9:23pm WR: The La Roca vinyl is the only recording on today's episode that I have. Though it is packed away in storage.
	9:27pm Observations: Potoo en.wikipedia.org...
	9:29pm drowsy: Thanks for the show David, this is a sweet recording.
	10:00pm Observations: see you next week
	🥁 10:02pm WR: Thank you! David! Another great episode!
