	11:46am doctorjazz: Hey Bob and Streamers! Listening on the road (rest stop), great 1st set!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Hey, doctorjazz, thanks.
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: "Secret Love" was a smash hit in 1953 from the film "Calamity Jane" starring screen idol DORIS DAY. My mom was crazy about Doris, along with Patty Page, Perry Como and other romantic balladeers of the 1950s.
	11:48am mauri: Ive heard bob n tx playboys on your show. this week asleep at the wheel played here in Tampere. good music !
	11:48am StringOFperils: Quite a lot of Mitch Easter/dB's DNA in that new Red Kross recording methinks. Savvy popsters those guys.
	11:48am vanhooserd: Doris is one of my favorite singers. Just a superb vocalist and capable of being quite sexy.
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Morning, vanhooserd,
	11:51am Bob Brainen: Must have been a fun show, mauri!
	11:51am vanhooserd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:50 Morning, Bob. Though I would check out your show.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: ↳ vanhooserd @11:51 Welcome!
	11:54am SecretSquirrel: Gawd I love this Albert Ayler cover
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:46 Hi, doc!
	11:57am chresti: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:47 Calamity Jane was one of my childhood idols!
	11:58am mauri: this is finland. no much of usa band playing westarn here. was good
	12:04pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Thank You Mary Hayley Bell" by "The Academy" Restraining order pending.
	12:08pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Song: "Dragonfly" by "Fleetwood Mac" my favorite Mac song. Its on my Very Best of Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac cd,curiously, as well as my recent Kiln House reissue (as part of the 1969-74 box!). Measden did a good cover of "Dragonfly"
	12:14pm Gerry from Miami: The beginning of a superb FLEETWOOD MAC era------post-PETER GREEN, pre-BUCKINGHAM and NICKS.
	12:15pm JoeChrisMorris: Peter Green said of "Dragonfly": "The best thing he ever wrote... that should have been a hit."
	12:16pm Gerry from Miami: I guess Peter Green WAS on that Fleetwood Mac number.
	12:17pm gene sculatti: Mornin,' Bob.
	12:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ vanhooserd @11:48 Oscar Levant on Doris Day: "I knew her before she was a virgin."
	12:21pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:16 if only! nope, just Danny doing the vibrato thing on his guitar. Hes actually my favorite male songwriter with the Mac (Future Games, Bare Trees, Then Play On..these are EXCELLENT lps!
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Gene Sculatti.
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar, I remember that quote.
	12:24pm Roberto: Time to go do annoying stuff. See y'all next week!
	12:24pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, JoeChrisMorris, for clearing up that Green/Kirwan confusion.
	12:27pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. Well, she DID make those "Pillow Talk" movies with, of all people, Rock Hudson.
	12:30pm vanhooserd: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:27 Might as well mention that she was the mother of Terry Melcher, who produced some fine records by The Byrds and Paul Revere & The Raiders.
	12:31pm SecretSquirrel: Hey Frank Zataar!
	12:37pm SecretSquirrel: Space Opera, such original and interesting stuff. Great playing, thoughtful lyrics. Never heard much of their music, aside from this show. Why didn’t they become better-known?
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:31 Hey, Bob, Squirrel, and all!
	12:39pm Bob Brainen: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:37 It's a mystery, for sure.
	12:46pm Dean: Ratuig?
	12:50pm Frank Zaatar: Worse yet, I keep confusing them with Earth Opera, an equally experimental band with Peter Rowan and David Grisman.
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:46 Hey Dean. Say what?
	12:52pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Spell check----"Guitar" spelled backwards is "RATIUG."
	12:53pm Dean: That's right, Gerry from Miami!
	12:53pm mauri: noo wayy noo
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:53 Very clever, you're a step ahead!
	1:00pm DanChusid: Morning Bob. Just getting the day started out here on the left coast.
	1:01pm Dean: Two steps ahead, but one back, thanks to Gerry for the correction.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey Dan, morning (WCT)
	1:10pm Dean: Your comment about placement of adjectives in French piqued my curiosity. I also studied the language for only two years, and I don't even remember discussion of the matter. Here's commentary from a website--reliability unknown--that appears to resolve the question: There are a few dozen French adjectives that precede nouns. Most of these can be memorized with the simple acronym BAGS: Beauty une belle fille un joli appartement Age un jeune homme une vieille dame Good and bad une bonne idée un mauvais restaurant Size un grand livre une petite maison
	1:31pm Cronbat: Thanks, Bob, for the retrospective on Space Opera. Many regrets now that I missed seeing them at the Armadillo
	1:33pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Cronbat @1:31 You're welcome, Cronbat. I wish I would have heard them in real time. But better later than never.
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Lost in Space: The Epic Saga of Fort Worth’s Space Opera = No Depression Magazine 2016
	1:44pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:34 By the way, what's this book about the Left Banke?
	1:48pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:44 by the guitarist, Brand
	1:49pm JoeChrisMorris: Definitely gonna write a book on the Left Banke, though they only released 2 lps. And a wonderful Stev Martin Caro single on Kuma Sutra!!
	1:49pm Frank Zaatar: Do you know the title? I haven't been getting any results goggling it.
	1:52pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:49 by tim brand md. its psychotherapy isnt fun, or whatever. Id be glad to swap it. Its worth the read. But the book I LOVe that I have by the Banke is the scrapbook (48 pages) that David Housden (he published The Castle) put out in the ealry 90s.. that has the liner notes from History of the LB (Rhino).. thats not for sale (Im being buried with it). The Brand book came out Dec 2023
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:53pm JoeChrisMorris: last call gents! Good show Bob, appreciate the Dragonfly! The guitar tab for the song is IMPOSSIBLE (and the tab for Jigsaw Puzzle Blues is even worse!!
	1:54pm JoeChrisMorris: I like Kirwans stuff A LOT, though his Second Chapter isn't grabbing me
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Been listening, thanks so much, Bob!
	1:56pm JoeChrisMorris: Feelings are Overrated is the name of Brands book. Think he lives in NY, works psychotherapy
	1:58pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:56 Thanks for the title. I think I saw it but I thought that couldn't be the book. Thanks, Bob and all, for another excellent show!
	1:59pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	2:00pm Frank Zaatar: Sure, I've got two ideas: I just picked up the first Mother Earth album and was impressed all over again by Tracy Nelson. Also, the Blues Project, Danny Kalb, and the NY Jewish blues aggregation.

	11:38am JoeChrisMorris: ↳ David K. @11:35 Yep , we all love Bob. Most of the music I listen to (Strawbs, Left Banke, Lazy Smoke) is music hes played relentlessly in the past. Or will in the future
	11:39am Bob Brainen: ↳ marc mendelson @11:33 That's awesome, Marc, I'd like to see them.
	11:39am Bob Brainen: ↳ David K. @11:35 Thanks, David K.
	11:39am JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Song: "That's Alright" by "JImmy Powell & The Fifth Dime... Kinks did Its Alright on Pye.. COINCIDENCE?!
	11:45am JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Song: "Back Of The Cave" by "Red Kross" this guitar frightens me. WAY too early on a Saturday
	11:46am doctorjazz: Hey Bob and Streamers! Listening on the road (rest stop), great 1st set!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Hey, doctorjazz, thanks.
	11:47am Gerry from Miami: "Secret Love" was a smash hit in 1953 from the film "Calamity Jane" starring screen idol DORIS DAY. My mom was crazy about Doris, along with Patty Page, Perry Como and other romantic balladeers of the 1950s.
	11:48am mauri: Ive heard bob n tx playboys on your show. this week asleep at the wheel played here in Tampere. good music !
	11:48am StringOFperils: Quite a lot of Mitch Easter/dB's DNA in that new Red Kross recording methinks. Savvy popsters those guys.
	11:48am vanhooserd: Doris is one of my favorite singers. Just a superb vocalist and capable of being quite sexy.
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Morning, vanhooserd,
	11:51am Bob Brainen: Must have been a fun show, mauri!
	11:51am vanhooserd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:50 Morning, Bob. Though I would check out your show.
	11:54am Bob Brainen: ↳ vanhooserd @11:51 Welcome!
	11:54am SecretSquirrel: Gawd I love this Albert Ayler cover
	11:55am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @11:46 Hi, doc!
	11:57am chresti: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:47 Calamity Jane was one of my childhood idols!
	11:58am mauri: this is finland. no much of usa band playing westarn here. was good
	12:04pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Thank You Mary Hayley Bell" by "The Academy" Restraining order pending.
	12:08pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Song: "Dragonfly" by "Fleetwood Mac" my favorite Mac song. Its on my Very Best of Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac cd,curiously, as well as my recent Kiln House reissue (as part of the 1969-74 box!). Measden did a good cover of "Dragonfly"
	12:14pm Gerry from Miami: The beginning of a superb FLEETWOOD MAC era------post-PETER GREEN, pre-BUCKINGHAM and NICKS.
	12:15pm JoeChrisMorris: Peter Green said of "Dragonfly": "The best thing he ever wrote... that should have been a hit."
	12:16pm Gerry from Miami: I guess Peter Green WAS on that Fleetwood Mac number.
	12:17pm gene sculatti: Mornin,' Bob.
	12:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ vanhooserd @11:48 Oscar Levant on Doris Day: "I knew her before she was a virgin."
	12:21pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:16 if only! nope, just Danny doing the vibrato thing on his guitar. Hes actually my favorite male songwriter with the Mac (Future Games, Bare Trees, Then Play On..these are EXCELLENT lps!
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Gene Sculatti.
	12:22pm Bob Brainen: Frank Zaatar, I remember that quote.
	12:24pm Roberto: Time to go do annoying stuff. See y'all next week!
	12:24pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, JoeChrisMorris, for clearing up that Green/Kirwan confusion.
	12:27pm Gerry from Miami: @Frank Zaatar. Well, she DID make those "Pillow Talk" movies with, of all people, Rock Hudson.
	12:30pm vanhooserd: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:27 Might as well mention that she was the mother of Terry Melcher, who produced some fine records by The Byrds and Paul Revere & The Raiders.
	12:31pm SecretSquirrel: Hey Frank Zataar!
	12:37pm SecretSquirrel: Space Opera, such original and interesting stuff. Great playing, thoughtful lyrics. Never heard much of their music, aside from this show. Why didn’t they become better-known?
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:31 Hey, Bob, Squirrel, and all!
	12:39pm Bob Brainen: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:37 It's a mystery, for sure.
	12:46pm Dean: Ratuig?
	12:50pm Frank Zaatar: Worse yet, I keep confusing them with Earth Opera, an equally experimental band with Peter Rowan and David Grisman.
	12:52pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:46 Hey Dean. Say what?
	12:52pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. Spell check----"Guitar" spelled backwards is "RATIUG."
	12:53pm Dean: That's right, Gerry from Miami!
	12:53pm mauri: noo wayy noo
	12:55pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Dean @12:53 Very clever, you're a step ahead!
	1:00pm DanChusid: Morning Bob. Just getting the day started out here on the left coast.
	1:01pm Dean: Two steps ahead, but one back, thanks to Gerry for the correction.
	1:06pm Bob Brainen: Hey Dan, morning (WCT)
	1:10pm Dean: Your comment about placement of adjectives in French piqued my curiosity. I also studied the language for only two years, and I don't even remember discussion of the matter. Here's commentary from a website--reliability unknown--that appears to resolve the question: There are a few dozen French adjectives that precede nouns. Most of these can be memorized with the simple acronym BAGS: Beauty une belle fille un joli appartement Age un jeune homme une vieille dame Good and bad une bonne idée un mauvais restaurant Size un grand livre une petite maison
	1:31pm Cronbat: Thanks, Bob, for the retrospective on Space Opera. Many regrets now that I missed seeing them at the Armadillo
	1:33pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Cronbat @1:31 You're welcome, Cronbat. I wish I would have heard them in real time. But better later than never.
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Lost in Space: The Epic Saga of Fort Worth’s Space Opera = No Depression Magazine 2016
	1:44pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:34 By the way, what's this book about the Left Banke?
	1:48pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:44 by the guitarist, Brand
	1:49pm JoeChrisMorris: Definitely gonna write a book on the Left Banke, though they only released 2 lps. And a wonderful Stev Martin Caro single on Kuma Sutra!!
	1:49pm Frank Zaatar: Do you know the title? I haven't been getting any results goggling it.
	1:52pm JoeChrisMorris: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:49 by tim brand md. its psychotherapy isnt fun, or whatever. Id be glad to swap it. Its worth the read. But the book I LOVe that I have by the Banke is the scrapbook (48 pages) that David Housden (he published The Castle) put out in the ealry 90s.. that has the liner notes from History of the LB (Rhino).. thats not for sale (Im being buried with it). The Brand book came out Dec 2023
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:53pm JoeChrisMorris: last call gents! Good show Bob, appreciate the Dragonfly! The guitar tab for the song is IMPOSSIBLE (and the tab for Jigsaw Puzzle Blues is even worse!!
	1:54pm JoeChrisMorris: I like Kirwans stuff A LOT, though his Second Chapter isn't grabbing me
	🥁 1:56pm listener 126464: Been listening, thanks so much, Bob!
	1:56pm JoeChrisMorris: Feelings are Overrated is the name of Brands book. Think he lives in NY, works psychotherapy
	1:58pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @1:56 Thanks for the title. I think I saw it but I thought that couldn't be the book. Thanks, Bob and all, for another excellent show!
	1:59pm chresti: Thanks Bob!
	2:00pm Frank Zaatar: Sure, I've got two ideas: I just picked up the first Mother Earth album and was impressed all over again by Tracy Nelson. Also, the Blues Project, Danny Kalb, and the NY Jewish blues aggregation.
