	11:04am Bob Brainen: adamdoesit!
	11:04am Bob Brainen: Roberto!
	11:04am Bob Brainen: Marc Francis!
	11:04am doctorjazz: Hey Adamdoesit, got till set the Sorely set last night. Did you get to see it? I recall your wife did, did she like it? Curious...
	11:05am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood!
	11:05am StringOFperils: Ahhh, another fine morning on the electric village green; Hey, Bob 'n' Pete!
	11:06am Roberto: Although I did have your show on in the car last Saturday.
	11:06am timinoak: Enjoying the music! Thank you.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils! "electric village green" good one!
	11:06am doctorjazz: Richard Thompson. What else do I need to say? (Well, lots more, actually, but that's it for now)
	11:06am Bob Brainen: timinoak!
	11:07am Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind!
	11:08am Gerry from Miami: So right, doctorjazz! Despite all the great talent of its members, Thompson was the heart and soul of this band
	11:09am dan: Fairport Convention need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their contribution to modern folk rock.
	11:09am adamdoesit: Hi AiT! doc, I didn't get to see the Tyshawn Sorey thing. My lovely wife dug it to an extent. The highlight for her was standing this close to Marina Abramovic, rather than the program itself.
	11:10am StringOFperils: I was just watching some old interview footage with Gene Clark last night...love his writing, still
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Gotta disagree.
	11:12am Gerry from Miami: Absolutely, dan! But those stodgy folks at the R&R Hall of Fame refuse to even consider them. But that snub just makes us Fairporters love them even more!
	11:12am marc mendelson: Fairport what a nice way to wake up good morning Bob and Pete thank you
	11:13am Bob Brainen: marc mendelson!
	11:13am PT: An Extremely Good Morning, ever’buddy! @adamdoesit: I always get a tiny shot of dopamine myself when Hank Levine swings into action.
	11:15am doctorjazz: It s one of those "whole is greater than the sum of its parts", but, man, what parts! Happen to be ab RT Junkie, but listen to Denny, ahhhh....
	11:16am dan: @Gerry I mean, a shitty band like Green Day are RnR HoF inductees, but not a folk band that have had some of the greatest singers and musicians ever.
	11:16am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:20am Wendy S: @dan: I agree that Fairport Convention is much more qualified to be in the RnR HoF but I disagree that Green Day is a shitty band. Subjective, right?
	11:22am doctorjazz: RT, anyone?
	11:22am StringOFperils: Hope it's not too incendiary to say this, but I don't know why The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame as an institution even means anything to anyone other than its investors. Inclusion there doesn't really validate artists' merit. It's as if the people at Chuck E. Cheese need to say whether you're okay or not. Who cares? Not exactly an academy.
	🥁 11:24am wmfromD: I'm with String of Perils. Meaningless nonsense.
	11:24am dan: The live version of Dirty Linen at the Glastonbury Festival in 71 is probably Dave Pegg's best bass work ever. He goes into Entwistle and Squire territory.
	11:26am melinda: hi everyone
	11:27am Bob Brainen: melinda!
	11:27am doctorjazz: It's a commercial enterprise, a fun tourist stop if you happen to be in Cleveland (and heaven knows there's not much else there). Decisions likely take into account how much of a tourist draw an artist/group is...the US was not big Fairport territory, then, it sure ain't a draw now.
	11:29am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & everyone!
	11:29am Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): Good morning, Bob and all comrades!
	11:29am dan: For this set, I'm gonna predict that the song to represent Babbacome Lee is "The Time Has Come", probably the best song on the record.
	🥁 11:36am chresti: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 11:37am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	🥁 11:38am chresti: ^rock n' roll hall of fame
	11:40am Gerry from Miami: @StringOfPerils. True that! I give no credence to the R&R Hall either. If I were a millionaire(billionaire, actually. Inflation!), I would start my own pop/rock museum. And the list of inductees would embarrass those stiffs in Cleveland! 'Nuff said about that! Enjoy the great music, Brainiacs! Thanks for the program, BOB and PETE!
	11:42am Dean: Found a copy of a print edition of the Pete Frame family trees, a discard from somebody's collection. Snagged it.
	11:43am Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): A few months back I read Richard Thompson's memoir, "Beeswing," which was a great read. It tells the story of the evolution of Fairport.
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Do you know if Pete Frame is still with us? Or might someone else be carrying in in the tradition of his phenomenal rock family trees?
	11:45am Andrew in Toronto: @Soule That is a great book!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Soule!
	🥁 11:45am PT: @Gerry from Miami: Pete Frame is indeed still with us, in fact I believe he turns 80 this year.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: dean!
	11:45am Wendy S: Some years back, my older brother-in-law turned me on to Fairport Conversation (as well as The Incredible String Band). He’s the same guy that braved seeing the Stones at Altamont back in the day…
	11:46am Dean: I didn't know, @Gerry, but according to WP he's alive and kicking. But still working? I don't know.
	11:46am Wendy S: “Convention”
	11:47am Bob Brainen: If anyone can find a family tree and can post a link to it, it'd be great. We're tryin'....
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: Thanks for that info, PETE! But is he still producing his inimitable band histories?
	11:48am Dean: My intro to Fairport Convention was a friend in high school, who shared his brother's copy of Babacombe Lee with me, and the public library's copy of Fairport Chronicles. One would have to be brave to have attended Altamont, but even braver to have then attended the Stones' next show.
	🥁 11:49am PT: @Gerry: I think not. I'm pretty sure he's given up his ink pot and quill for good, but what a body of work!
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Pete Frame has been an idol of Pete & mine since long before Pete I even met. We bonded over that, we both had those rectangular books.
	🥁 11:51am PT: And I have my own personal name-dropper Pete Frame story, for another day...
	11:51am Bob Brainen: OK, here's a try... concerts.fandom.com...
	🥁 11:52am wmfromD: Shout out to Martin Lamble. Unique drummer.
	🥁 11:53am PT: Never noticed Simon Nicol's raunchy dropped-D riffing on A Sailor's Life. Man, Simon really was "the glue."
	11:53am dan: The guitar and the fiddle blend in so flawlessly
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Yup! Man, to have seen this song done live with this line-up...
	11:54am StringOFperils: Maybe this is common knowledge, but I didn't know it; I just wondered. Maybe it's even true.> Fairport Convention, the name, can trace its origins to friends Ashley Hutchings and Simon Nicol who rehearsed together in a house called 'Fairport' in Muswell Hill, where Nicol's father was a local MD.
	11:55am Bob Brainen: wmfromD-totally agree, that original rhythm section was wonderful. Hutchings & Lamble.
	11:55am Gerry from Miami: For Christmas in 2008, I gave my sister(who sings in her husband's blues band) a copy of Sandy Denny's boxed set career retrospective on Hannibal Records. Needless to say, she loved it and still plays it often on her "ancient" CD machine.
	11:57am Franco Twinkie: FAIRPORT POR VIDA - C/S!
	11:57am Andrew in Toronto: @Gerry Cds still rule at our place.
	11:58am doctorjazz: I actually came to Fairport a bit backwards (and late), having read about Richard and Linda Thompson and bought all their records (Hannibal records released them all at one point). That had going backwards to check out FP.
	11:58am Bob Brainen: Gerry-that is an awesome gift!
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:59am dan: Dave Mattacks’ drumming on The Deserter is some of the best work ever.
	11:59am Franco Twinkie: Bob!
	🥁 12:04pm chresti: www.flickr.com... FC family tree?
	12:05pm StringOFperils: Everybody Morris dancing?
	🥁 12:06pm wmfromD: I find myself listening to Liege & Lief this time of the year.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Franco!
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: chresti! That's the one!! Thank you! I posted that on my FB page but couldn't figure out how to add it to the playlist.
	12:08pm Jeff: A bunch of my friends saw Fairport open for Traffic at Fillmore East and/or Queens College around ‘70/‘71. Where the f… was I???
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Jeff, I've seen posters for Traffic & FC.
	12:10pm WR: Hi Bob and drummer streamers Listening, greatly enjoying.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: WR!
	🥁 12:12pm chresti: Bob, yay!
	12:13pm Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): @StringOFperils Thompson's memoir corroborates that the band was named after the house Fairport, "a large mock Tudor house ... on Fortis Green" owned by Simon Nicol's family, which did also house his father's medical practice. A friend named Richard Lewis suggested Fairport Convention as a band name.
	12:14pm dan: @Jeff I grew up in the wrong generation. I’d be at all these shows
	12:14pm doctorjazz: I have Thompson's book sitting, haven't gotten to it yet, but need to pull it out.
	12:14pm StringOFperils: @soule > Ah, I thought an astute fan/reader might verify that. Thank you!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Look at all those albums...
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: Wouldn’t shock me to learn that Papa Haydn borrowed from Fairport Convention. He was that musically prescient.
	12:21pm Jeff: Jeannie the Tailor - Richard’s American girlfriend who died in that crash. Jack Bruce’s album Songs For A Tailor - one of my absolute favorite albums of all time. Jeannie was the tailor. I believe she made clothes for Cream.
	🥁 12:26pm wmfromD: I dig this tune, but it's an odd choice for a first single.
	🥁 12:26pm PT: @Jeff: yep, Jeannie Franklyn, Jack Bruce's titular "tailor." There's only so much info we can cover when Fairport is the subject!
	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: I love Reno Nevada.
	12:28pm StringOFperils: In 1968, a lot of odd choices came to the fore. It was exciting.
	12:28pm Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): Ah, "Reno Nevodder"!
	12:29pm greg g: love that ribbon bow track, reminiscent of early Pink Floyd & diggin this Reno Nevada track that is bringing to mind the mamas and papas
	12:37pm Jeff Golick: Still fondly remember buying the "Holidays" LP - the US version with all of the leaves - as a kid in the 1980s, and being told "we won't sell a better album today" by the record store clerk.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Jeff Golick! That US cover is my favorite album cover of all time and that is my favorite Fairport album. I have one inside a frame. I wish the CD had the leaves cover.
	12:46pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob and Pete! I had to make sure I caught this program from the beginning. Fairport Convention! what a way to celebrate Autumn.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: LOVE Tale in Hard Time!
	🥁 12:51pm wmfromD: Is it Thompson or Nicol on the sitar?
	12:53pm Late Bloomer: That’s twice today if you told me that was Clarence carter in guitar I’d believe ya
	12:53pm Bob Brainen: good question wm, but Simon was the Brian Jones-like multi-instrumentalist.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Late Bloomer! Interesting take.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	12:57pm spodiodi: good morning, Bob and all!
	12:59pm spodiodi: good morning, Pete too!
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: Those were some pretty deep teenagers.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	1:07pm dan: The classic British Folk anthem
	1:08pm Eugene Bentley: i love this version as well as Judy Collins version.
	🥁 1:08pm wmfromD: Tristan Frye was primarily a drummer. Played on Nick Drake's first album.
	1:08pm Andrew in Toronto: Hey spodiodi!
	1:08pm doctorjazz: Heard the Collins 1st, but love both versions!
	1:09pm doctorjazz: Collins floats it a bit more
	1:10pm spodiodi: hey, Andrew!
	1:10pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Bob, Pete and listeners. Here's listening in.
	1:10pm Eugene Bentley: I think that collins did 2 versions. one off the original album and a better version released on her best of collection
	1:11pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Quite possibly Summer's fav song. Thank you, Bob.
	1:11pm Bob Brainen: Both lovely but Sandy is my favorite singer of all time. Hands down. Male or female. I hear that voice and I think "this is the world I want to live in."
	1:12pm dan: Anything from Babbacome Lee?
	1:12pm Bob Brainen: Jan Turkenburg!
	1:13pm Late Bloomer: To your point earlier, Its great how many sounds and styles fairport can put together. I really do notice something different withevery listen
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Our pleasure.
	1:15pm dan: Sandy Denny’s return to Fairport
	1:19pm dan: Trevor Lucas is an underrated figure. He has that unmistakable Australian accent that made such an odd, yet great contribution to Fairport’s music
	1:21pm Andrew in Toronto: Great show. Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:29pm dan: I heard that the glass breaking on Si Tu Dois Partir was an accident but they left it on the recording anyway
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & Pete and all
	1:32pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	1:33pm Stork: Hiya, Bobbites! Great show, Bob! Extending a warm welcome to all to join me in a celebratory wallow in the music of Abdullah Ibrahim, up ahead at the top of the hour - Club entrance is here:www.wfmu.org...
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: what does si tu dois partir mean and was that melody chosen intentionally for "garden party" by ...who was it Ricky Nelson?
	1:34pm Stork: Oh, yeah - I'm filling in for Dave Sewelson and Music for a Free world - do not adjust your sets! Do not punch your sets. It's not your set's fault.
	1:34pm dan: https://youtu.be/rF2H5iaJoWw Great documentary about Fairport Convention and Babbacombe Lee
	1:36pm Dean: "Si tu dois partir" = "If you must go," or so I think.
	1:36pm Wendy S: @coelacanth…don’t think I have that symbol in your name. Thanks for pointing out Garden Party. I was racking my brain.
	1:38pm Eugene Bentley: I have VHS tape of It All Comes Back Again Fairport documentary. Have yet to see it digitized.
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Meet on the Ledge(screamin' it)!
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: Thank Dean. it kind of makes sense for the theme of garden party, and a subtle reference as the lyrics have; but then, maybe it's just coincidence.
	1:39pm Eugene Bentley: There needs to be a part 2 of this show.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy! it's okay it's not really part of the name!
	1:40pm Dean: I suspect it's just coincidence and musical convention. "Garden Party" was Rick Nelson's middle finger song to the clods who booed him at MSG.
	1:40pm timinoak: amazing
	1:42pm Wendy S: I have to say that WFMU does an excellent job of the archive!
	1:44pm WR: It's been a great episode today, Bob & Pete! Thank you!
	1:44pm Clime: Saw Jesse Colin Young last weekend in SF - great show just solo - need to relisten to your youngbloods show now.
	1:44pm dan: Another great show Bob and Pete
	1:46pm Andrew in Toronto: www.amazon.com...
	1:47pm Wendy S: I love the 2017 Richard Thompson acoustic albums.
	1:52pm B R M: Just loving his episode. Thank you both so much.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: This has been great, will want to listen to it again!
	1:53pm B R M: this*
	1:53pm Marc Francis: GODDAMN. What a choooooooooooon!
	1:53pm Michael 98145: i -will- be doing that
	1:54pm Wendy S: Great show! Learned a ton! Thanks Bob & Pete and Fairport Convention fan listeners!
	1:54pm StringOFperils: Thanks for putting some English on my day. Never an 8 ball, this show! Excellent. Loved it.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Look at that picture of RT on Beeswing, what a boychick!
	1:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Bob and Pete! great show
	1:56pm adamdoesit: Thanks, Bob and Pete. Beautiful show today.
	1:57pm doctorjazz: That earlier track, in French, was a cover of Dylan's If You Gotta Go (I"m sure that's been mentioned, but just backtracked the comments. Have to pack for a weekend wedding upstate NY, but been listening.
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: A great one Bob & Pete. Thanks!
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks Bob + Pete! It was a great three hours that went by way too quickly!

	1:58pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this was a dilly! Thanks Bob and Pete - what a team!
	1:58pm doctorjazz: 3 hours by another of my main men, Abdullah Ibrahim next!
	1:58pm Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): Thank you, Bob and Pete. Lovely show.

	1:59pm Stork: Lovely way to finish, Bob!! I adore this song!!
	1:59pm Stork: Thans, Bob and Pete!!

	🥁 2:00pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, fellas! Glorious show!
	2:00pm Doug Schulkind: Fantastic show, Bob and Pete!!!
	🥁 2:00pm (Mr) Bill: Whatta show. Thanks…..
	2:00pm Eugene Bentley: Wait! that couldn't have been 3 hours!
	2:01pm greg g: Thank you Bob and Pete
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, gentlemen!

	11:04am Bob Brainen: Roberto!
	11:04am Bob Brainen: Marc Francis!
	11:04am doctorjazz: Hey Adamdoesit, got till set the Sorely set last night. Did you get to see it? I recall your wife did, did she like it? Curious...
	11:05am Bob Brainen: listener james from westwood!
	11:05am StringOFperils: Ahhh, another fine morning on the electric village green; Hey, Bob 'n' Pete!
	11:06am Roberto: Although I did have your show on in the car last Saturday.
	11:06am timinoak: Enjoying the music! Thank you.
	11:06am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils! "electric village green" good one!
	11:06am doctorjazz: Richard Thompson. What else do I need to say? (Well, lots more, actually, but that's it for now)
	11:06am Bob Brainen: timinoak!
	11:07am Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind!
	11:08am Gerry from Miami: So right, doctorjazz! Despite all the great talent of its members, Thompson was the heart and soul of this band
	11:09am dan: Fairport Convention need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their contribution to modern folk rock.
	11:09am adamdoesit: Hi AiT! doc, I didn't get to see the Tyshawn Sorey thing. My lovely wife dug it to an extent. The highlight for her was standing this close to Marina Abramovic, rather than the program itself.
	11:10am StringOFperils: I was just watching some old interview footage with Gene Clark last night...love his writing, still
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Gotta disagree.
	11:12am Gerry from Miami: Absolutely, dan! But those stodgy folks at the R&R Hall of Fame refuse to even consider them. But that snub just makes us Fairporters love them even more!
	11:12am marc mendelson: Fairport what a nice way to wake up good morning Bob and Pete thank you
	11:13am Bob Brainen: marc mendelson!
	11:13am PT: An Extremely Good Morning, ever’buddy! @adamdoesit: I always get a tiny shot of dopamine myself when Hank Levine swings into action.
	11:15am doctorjazz: It s one of those "whole is greater than the sum of its parts", but, man, what parts! Happen to be ab RT Junkie, but listen to Denny, ahhhh....
	11:16am dan: @Gerry I mean, a shitty band like Green Day are RnR HoF inductees, but not a folk band that have had some of the greatest singers and musicians ever.
	11:16am gene sculatti: Hey, Bob!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: gene sculatti!
	11:20am Wendy S: @dan: I agree that Fairport Convention is much more qualified to be in the RnR HoF but I disagree that Green Day is a shitty band. Subjective, right?
	11:22am doctorjazz: RT, anyone?
	11:22am StringOFperils: Hope it's not too incendiary to say this, but I don't know why The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame as an institution even means anything to anyone other than its investors. Inclusion there doesn't really validate artists' merit. It's as if the people at Chuck E. Cheese need to say whether you're okay or not. Who cares? Not exactly an academy.
	🥁 11:24am wmfromD: I'm with String of Perils. Meaningless nonsense.
	11:24am dan: The live version of Dirty Linen at the Glastonbury Festival in 71 is probably Dave Pegg's best bass work ever. He goes into Entwistle and Squire territory.
	11:26am melinda: hi everyone
	11:27am Bob Brainen: melinda!
	11:27am doctorjazz: It's a commercial enterprise, a fun tourist stop if you happen to be in Cleveland (and heaven knows there's not much else there). Decisions likely take into account how much of a tourist draw an artist/group is...the US was not big Fairport territory, then, it sure ain't a draw now.
	11:29am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & everyone!
	11:29am Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): Good morning, Bob and all comrades!
	11:29am dan: For this set, I'm gonna predict that the song to represent Babbacome Lee is "The Time Has Come", probably the best song on the record.
	🥁 11:36am chresti: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 11:37am chresti: Hi Bob and braineniacs!
	🥁 11:38am chresti: ^rock n' roll hall of fame
	11:40am Gerry from Miami: @StringOfPerils. True that! I give no credence to the R&R Hall either. If I were a millionaire(billionaire, actually. Inflation!), I would start my own pop/rock museum. And the list of inductees would embarrass those stiffs in Cleveland! 'Nuff said about that! Enjoy the great music, Brainiacs! Thanks for the program, BOB and PETE!
	11:42am Dean: Found a copy of a print edition of the Pete Frame family trees, a discard from somebody's collection. Snagged it.
	11:43am Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): A few months back I read Richard Thompson's memoir, "Beeswing," which was a great read. It tells the story of the evolution of Fairport.
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Do you know if Pete Frame is still with us? Or might someone else be carrying in in the tradition of his phenomenal rock family trees?
	11:45am Andrew in Toronto: @Soule That is a great book!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Soule!
	🥁 11:45am PT: @Gerry from Miami: Pete Frame is indeed still with us, in fact I believe he turns 80 this year.
	11:45am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	11:45am Bob Brainen: dean!
	11:45am Wendy S: Some years back, my older brother-in-law turned me on to Fairport Conversation (as well as The Incredible String Band). He’s the same guy that braved seeing the Stones at Altamont back in the day…
	11:46am Dean: I didn't know, @Gerry, but according to WP he's alive and kicking. But still working? I don't know.
	11:46am Wendy S: “Convention”
	11:47am Bob Brainen: If anyone can find a family tree and can post a link to it, it'd be great. We're tryin'....
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: Thanks for that info, PETE! But is he still producing his inimitable band histories?
	11:48am Dean: My intro to Fairport Convention was a friend in high school, who shared his brother's copy of Babacombe Lee with me, and the public library's copy of Fairport Chronicles. One would have to be brave to have attended Altamont, but even braver to have then attended the Stones' next show.
	🥁 11:49am PT: @Gerry: I think not. I'm pretty sure he's given up his ink pot and quill for good, but what a body of work!
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Pete Frame has been an idol of Pete & mine since long before Pete I even met. We bonded over that, we both had those rectangular books.
	🥁 11:51am PT: And I have my own personal name-dropper Pete Frame story, for another day...
	11:51am Bob Brainen: OK, here's a try... concerts.fandom.com...
	🥁 11:52am wmfromD: Shout out to Martin Lamble. Unique drummer.
	🥁 11:53am PT: Never noticed Simon Nicol's raunchy dropped-D riffing on A Sailor's Life. Man, Simon really was "the glue."
	11:53am dan: The guitar and the fiddle blend in so flawlessly
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Yup! Man, to have seen this song done live with this line-up...
	11:54am StringOFperils: Maybe this is common knowledge, but I didn't know it; I just wondered. Maybe it's even true.> Fairport Convention, the name, can trace its origins to friends Ashley Hutchings and Simon Nicol who rehearsed together in a house called 'Fairport' in Muswell Hill, where Nicol's father was a local MD.
	11:55am Bob Brainen: wmfromD-totally agree, that original rhythm section was wonderful. Hutchings & Lamble.
	11:55am Gerry from Miami: For Christmas in 2008, I gave my sister(who sings in her husband's blues band) a copy of Sandy Denny's boxed set career retrospective on Hannibal Records. Needless to say, she loved it and still plays it often on her "ancient" CD machine.
	11:57am Franco Twinkie: FAIRPORT POR VIDA - C/S!
	11:57am Andrew in Toronto: @Gerry Cds still rule at our place.
	11:58am doctorjazz: I actually came to Fairport a bit backwards (and late), having read about Richard and Linda Thompson and bought all their records (Hannibal records released them all at one point). That had going backwards to check out FP.
	11:58am Bob Brainen: Gerry-that is an awesome gift!
	11:59am Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie!
	11:59am dan: Dave Mattacks’ drumming on The Deserter is some of the best work ever.
	11:59am Franco Twinkie: Bob!
	🥁 12:04pm chresti: www.flickr.com... FC family tree?
	12:05pm StringOFperils: Everybody Morris dancing?
	🥁 12:06pm wmfromD: I find myself listening to Liege & Lief this time of the year.
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Franco!
	12:07pm Bob Brainen: chresti! That's the one!! Thank you! I posted that on my FB page but couldn't figure out how to add it to the playlist.
	12:08pm Jeff: A bunch of my friends saw Fairport open for Traffic at Fillmore East and/or Queens College around ‘70/‘71. Where the f… was I???
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: Jeff, I've seen posters for Traffic & FC.
	12:10pm WR: Hi Bob and drummer streamers Listening, greatly enjoying.
	12:10pm Bob Brainen: WR!
	🥁 12:12pm chresti: Bob, yay!
	12:13pm Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): @StringOFperils Thompson's memoir corroborates that the band was named after the house Fairport, "a large mock Tudor house ... on Fortis Green" owned by Simon Nicol's family, which did also house his father's medical practice. A friend named Richard Lewis suggested Fairport Convention as a band name.
	12:14pm dan: @Jeff I grew up in the wrong generation. I’d be at all these shows
	12:14pm doctorjazz: I have Thompson's book sitting, haven't gotten to it yet, but need to pull it out.
	12:14pm StringOFperils: @soule > Ah, I thought an astute fan/reader might verify that. Thank you!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Look at all those albums...
	🥁 12:17pm (Mr) Bill: Wouldn’t shock me to learn that Papa Haydn borrowed from Fairport Convention. He was that musically prescient.
	12:21pm Jeff: Jeannie the Tailor - Richard’s American girlfriend who died in that crash. Jack Bruce’s album Songs For A Tailor - one of my absolute favorite albums of all time. Jeannie was the tailor. I believe she made clothes for Cream.
	🥁 12:26pm wmfromD: I dig this tune, but it's an odd choice for a first single.
	🥁 12:26pm PT: @Jeff: yep, Jeannie Franklyn, Jack Bruce's titular "tailor." There's only so much info we can cover when Fairport is the subject!
	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: I love Reno Nevada.
	12:28pm StringOFperils: In 1968, a lot of odd choices came to the fore. It was exciting.
	12:28pm Soule (formerly nicknamed Jay S): Ah, "Reno Nevodder"!
	12:29pm greg g: love that ribbon bow track, reminiscent of early Pink Floyd & diggin this Reno Nevada track that is bringing to mind the mamas and papas
	12:37pm Jeff Golick: Still fondly remember buying the "Holidays" LP - the US version with all of the leaves - as a kid in the 1980s, and being told "we won't sell a better album today" by the record store clerk.
	12:41pm Bob Brainen: Jeff Golick! That US cover is my favorite album cover of all time and that is my favorite Fairport album. I have one inside a frame. I wish the CD had the leaves cover.
	12:46pm Eugene Bentley: Hey Bob and Pete! I had to make sure I caught this program from the beginning. Fairport Convention! what a way to celebrate Autumn.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: LOVE Tale in Hard Time!
	🥁 12:51pm wmfromD: Is it Thompson or Nicol on the sitar?
	12:53pm Late Bloomer: That’s twice today if you told me that was Clarence carter in guitar I’d believe ya
	12:53pm Bob Brainen: good question wm, but Simon was the Brian Jones-like multi-instrumentalist.
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: Late Bloomer! Interesting take.
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: Eugene Bentley!
	12:57pm spodiodi: good morning, Bob and all!
	12:59pm spodiodi: good morning, Pete too!
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: Those were some pretty deep teenagers.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	1:07pm dan: The classic British Folk anthem
	1:08pm Eugene Bentley: i love this version as well as Judy Collins version.
	🥁 1:08pm wmfromD: Tristan Frye was primarily a drummer. Played on Nick Drake's first album.
	1:08pm Andrew in Toronto: Hey spodiodi!
	1:08pm doctorjazz: Heard the Collins 1st, but love both versions!
	1:09pm doctorjazz: Collins floats it a bit more
	1:10pm spodiodi: hey, Andrew!
	1:10pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Bob, Pete and listeners. Here's listening in.
	1:10pm Eugene Bentley: I think that collins did 2 versions. one off the original album and a better version released on her best of collection
	1:11pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Quite possibly Summer's fav song. Thank you, Bob.
	1:11pm Bob Brainen: Both lovely but Sandy is my favorite singer of all time. Hands down. Male or female. I hear that voice and I think "this is the world I want to live in."
	1:12pm dan: Anything from Babbacome Lee?
	1:12pm Bob Brainen: Jan Turkenburg!
	1:13pm Late Bloomer: To your point earlier, Its great how many sounds and styles fairport can put together. I really do notice something different withevery listen
	1:14pm Bob Brainen: Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Our pleasure.
	1:15pm dan: Sandy Denny’s return to Fairport
	1:19pm dan: Trevor Lucas is an underrated figure. He has that unmistakable Australian accent that made such an odd, yet great contribution to Fairport’s music
	1:21pm Andrew in Toronto: Great show. Thanks Bob and Pete!
	1:29pm dan: I heard that the glass breaking on Si Tu Dois Partir was an accident but they left it on the recording anyway
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & Pete and all
	1:32pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	1:33pm Stork: Hiya, Bobbites! Great show, Bob! Extending a warm welcome to all to join me in a celebratory wallow in the music of Abdullah Ibrahim, up ahead at the top of the hour - Club entrance is here:www.wfmu.org...
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: what does si tu dois partir mean and was that melody chosen intentionally for "garden party" by ...who was it Ricky Nelson?
	1:34pm Stork: Oh, yeah - I'm filling in for Dave Sewelson and Music for a Free world - do not adjust your sets! Do not punch your sets. It's not your set's fault.
	1:34pm dan: https://youtu.be/rF2H5iaJoWw Great documentary about Fairport Convention and Babbacombe Lee
	1:36pm Dean: "Si tu dois partir" = "If you must go," or so I think.
	1:36pm Wendy S: @coelacanth…don’t think I have that symbol in your name. Thanks for pointing out Garden Party. I was racking my brain.
	1:38pm Eugene Bentley: I have VHS tape of It All Comes Back Again Fairport documentary. Have yet to see it digitized.
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Meet on the Ledge(screamin' it)!
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: Thank Dean. it kind of makes sense for the theme of garden party, and a subtle reference as the lyrics have; but then, maybe it's just coincidence.
	1:39pm Eugene Bentley: There needs to be a part 2 of this show.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy! it's okay it's not really part of the name!
	1:40pm Dean: I suspect it's just coincidence and musical convention. "Garden Party" was Rick Nelson's middle finger song to the clods who booed him at MSG.
	1:40pm timinoak: amazing
	1:42pm Wendy S: I have to say that WFMU does an excellent job of the archive!
	1:44pm WR: It's been a great episode today, Bob & Pete! Thank you!
	1:44pm Clime: Saw Jesse Colin Young last weekend in SF - great show just solo - need to relisten to your youngbloods show now.
	1:44pm dan: Another great show Bob and Pete
	1:46pm Andrew in Toronto: www.amazon.com...
	1:47pm Wendy S: I love the 2017 Richard Thompson acoustic albums.
	1:52pm B R M: Just loving his episode. Thank you both so much.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: This has been great, will want to listen to it again!
	1:53pm B R M: this*

	1:53pm Michael 98145: i -will- be doing that
	1:54pm Wendy S: Great show! Learned a ton! Thanks Bob & Pete and Fairport Convention fan listeners!
	1:54pm StringOFperils: Thanks for putting some English on my day. Never an 8 ball, this show! Excellent. Loved it.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Look at that picture of RT on Beeswing, what a boychick!
	1:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Bob and Pete! great show
	1:56pm adamdoesit: Thanks, Bob and Pete. Beautiful show today.
	1:57pm doctorjazz: That earlier track, in French, was a cover of Dylan's If You Gotta Go (I"m sure that's been mentioned, but just backtracked the comments. Have to pack for a weekend wedding upstate NY, but been listening.
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: A great one Bob & Pete. Thanks!
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks Bob + Pete! It was a great three hours that went by way too quickly!

	2:00pm Doug Schulkind: Fantastic show, Bob and Pete!!!
	🥁 2:00pm (Mr) Bill: Whatta show. Thanks…..
	2:00pm Eugene Bentley: Wait! that couldn't have been 3 hours!
