	🥁 11:06am PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:05 Good morning Andrew mon frère!
	11:06am dan: ↳ Song: "Wintertime Love" by "Doors" A song that you wish was longer
	11:07am Asheville Jon: da doorz
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Hiya, Asheville Jon.
	11:09am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Hinei Ma Tov (Behold The Good)" by "Abayudaya Con... Is it wrong that I keep hearing "tofu"?
	11:09am ∫ydniuß: Bob! 🌞 Nick! 🌕
	11:09am dan: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:02 Agreed. Can't stand that one named poser.
	11:09am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:08 howdy Bob!
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Hey, Roberto. Not if you're hungry
	11:10am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:09 Jon, if you're in Asheville, is everything back to "normal?"
	11:11am dan: Got to see John Ford of the Strawbs for the 3rd time last night at Port Washington Library. He gets better every time. Did his usual Strawbs, Hudson Ford, Monks and solo songs with some Beatle and Kinks covers thrown in,
	11:11am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:11 Nice. Does he plays solo?
	11:12am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:10 i am in asheville no, unfortunately things are not back to 'normal' around here, and won't be for a while. there is some 'recovery', but the old normal is gone
	11:12am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:11 He has a 4 piece band including himself, his son John Ford Jr. and a rhythm section.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:12 That sounds good.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:12 Glad there's some progress, wish there was more!
	11:14am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/john-ford/2024/port-washington-public-library-port-washington-ny-7b5fdae4.html Here's the full program played last night.
	11:16am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 it's just that there is soooooo much to deal with, on so many different levels. clean up and processing all the debris is a huge challenge. lots of basic infrastructure to rebuild. parts of town are still closed to traffic, businesses are still closed, many people in the area simply don't have a house to return to. it's a huge, huge disaster in the region.
	11:17am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:09 I eat a lot of tofu.
	11:17am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:16 Terrible
	11:17am Jeff: I didn’t get a chance to mention this last week, so here I go. Like a lot of us, I “discovered” Nick Drake after he died. Much like Eva Cassidy, it was a Village Voice article written after his passing that turned me on. It must’ve been a year or two after his death, and I immediately ran out and bought both Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter. I was blown away! Anybody else see the tribute to Nick at St Ann’s in Brooklyn? Hal Willner co-produced it as he did with the Sandy Denny tribute. They were both amazing nights with incredible musicians and singers. But, I would’ve gladly traded both those experiences to have seen Nick and Sandy while they were still with us.
	11:18am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! See you played a tune by the DOORS. Is it just a myth that there is a widespread antipathy toward the band that permeates the staff and listenership of WFMU? I have on occasion heard it expressed. Would like to hear from you and any listeners who can shed some light on this issue.
	11:18am marc mendelson: ahh clambake what way to wake up ELVIS morning Bob
	11:19am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Do The Clambake" by "Elvis Presley" I'd prefer a tofubake.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Hey, Gerry from Miami. People in general seem to have a problem with The Doors, no? I love a lot of their work.
	🥁 11:20am listener 126464: Good morning, Bob, everyone.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: Morning, marc mendelson
	11:21am Bob Brainen: listener 126464, morning
	11:21am StringOFperils: Whoa, looky there (Bald head) I see no hair (Bald head)....Professor Longhair. Great minds....
	11:22am Bob Brainen: HIya, StringOFperils
	11:22am StringOFperils: 'Mornin' Bob!
	11:23am StringOFperils: Just got 'Nick Drake-The Life' out of the library. Looks promising!
	11:24am Bob Brainen: ↳ StringOFperils @11:23 Great book, Author has a new one I want to read.
	11:28am adamdoesit: ↳ Roberto @11:09 Roberto, that's totally kosher.
	11:28am dan: ↳ Song: "Why Don't I" by "Sonny Rollins" Sonny Rollins: The last adult survivor of the Great Day in Harlem photo
	11:28am SecretSquirrel: Happy December, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Same to you, SecretSquirrel
	11:29am Roberto: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 L'chaim to that!
	🥁 11:30am Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸 good morning Bob Brainen and all!!!
	11:31am Soule: Good morning, Bob! Good morning, everyone!
	11:35am Andrew in Toronto: Good mornibng, Soule!
	11:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:18 A lot of love for Bruce McCulloch's 'Doors Fan', which is almost 'in rotation' sometimes, while The Doors themselves have become persona non grata. "People Are Strange", indeed.
	11:37am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:35 Hey there, Andrew!
	11:37am Bob Brainen: 🐸 🐸 🐸 good morning to you, Will thee SG OCNY 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:37am Bob Brainen: Good morning, Soule
	11:37am dan: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls" Classic line
	11:39am StringOFperils: ↳ dan @11:37 He would know; he's been both quite a few times.
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Bob!
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Howdy, Doug!
	🥁 11:45am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:24 Bob, Richard Morton Jack has a new book?
	11:47am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:45 Yeah, on British Jazz. I think it's new (?)
	11:48am Gerry from Miami: BOB, interested in knowing when you have Japanese characters(or any other writing system aside from the Roman alphabet) in a song title, how do you get these characters into the playlist? Is it a simple scan? I assume you don't know Japanese.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Maybe it preceded the Drake book (?) Entitled Labyrinth - British Jazz On Record 1960-75 and written by Richard Morten Jack the book is a 375 page, large-format, premium quality hardback that focuses on all the key albums on both major and independent labels of this pivotal time when boundary-breaking and experimentation first broke through in UK jazz. Anyway, it looks primo!
	11:50am Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:48 I do not know Japanese. I take the easy way out: cut and paste.
	🥁 11:50am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 I haven't heard of it. Everything he's done is primo
	🥁 11:53am Brian in UK: Hello Bob & listeners. YeeeHaw.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:50 He's a class act. From his Sunbeam music label to zine articles and every book I've read thus far.
	11:54am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Fats Blows" by "Fats Navarro [w/ Tadd Dameron]" Ta-ra-ra boom-dee-ay!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Speaking of doorstops, i just took Joe Boyd's latest out of the library. www.theguardian.com...
	🥁 11:56am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:54 The Boyd book is on my list. Also, there's a book about Thunderclap Newman that looks intriguing.
	11:59am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:54 Now that's a book I gotta check out
	🥁 12:01pm Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & everyone!
	12:02pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Pleyel's Hymn" by "Daniels-Deacon Sacred Harp Sin... I thought Hearty White was starting. Couldn't be Thursday already!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: Morning, Gina B.
	12:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello bob and listeners...
	12:05pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Ce N'est Pas Bon" by "Amadou and Mariam" "Ce n'est pas bon pour longtemps"? Is that what they're singing?
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, tom tom the pipers son
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:03 hi there, tom tom
	🥁 12:09pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 12:09pm Will thee SG OCNY: doing a deep cleaning on all my vocal microphones...
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @12:01 Moining, Gina!
	🥁 12:11pm Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:10 Morning, Andrew!
	12:15pm dan: ↳ Song: "At The Chime Of A City Clock" by "Nick Drake" Folk and Smooth Jazz all rolled into one.
	12:17pm dan: ↳ Song: "At The Chime Of A City Clock" by "Nick Drake" The drummer on this song, Mike Kowalski, later became Dennis Wilson's replacement in The Beach Boys for almost 30 years.
	12:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ dan @12:17 MVP on this (and many other) ensembles is Danny Thompson.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar. Thompson is always great!
	12:21pm dan: ↳ Frank Zaatar @12:18 Absolutely. However, Dave Pegg is the bassist on Bryter Layter. I did see a great video of Danny Thompson playing bass with John Martyn, Kathy Mattea and Jerry Douglas doing a rendition of Martyn's classic "May You Never". It's raw and melodic.
	12:22pm StringOFperils: First heard this material on that cream-coloured 'non-album' that was made out of the first two records [still have it] back in the winter of '77, when I was alone in a different city not my own yet, bereft of money and friends,and even hope sometimes. I got it in trade for some records I had. It was one of those listening moments when you look at those other records in the pile and they don't even seem to mean anything anymore. It's powerful stuff, Nick Drake.
	12:24pm tom tom the pipers son: hello andrew on toronto...
	🥁 12:24pm Brian in UK: Bob, apologies if I have told this before. Five leaves left refers to Rizla cigarette papers. When near the end there was a little slip entitled Five leaves left.
	12:26pm Frank Zaatar: I stand corrected. I never got to see them in person, but I was fortunate to get into Pentangle early on from our college radio station.
	12:26pm tom tom the pipers son: oh, thanks brian... sounds carrollian
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Brian in UK, that I knew.
	🥁 12:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:27 You could make a fat one with the five left, then who cares!
	12:29pm northguineahills: booooobbbbooobbbb!!!!!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: northguineahillssssssssssssss!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Brian in UK @12:29 Ha, a blunt!
	12:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:32 i may have stuttered... ;}
	12:33pm SecretSquirrel: Stunning arrangement on ‘Fly’ by John Cale, who also plays viola
	12:34pm dan: ↳ Song: ""One Hour With...Nick Drake, Part Two"" Where are the newer artists with Nick Drake's musical vision today? I swear, the music industry only cares about the easiest way to make music. All algorithm and auto-tuned based, not organic writing, arranging and singing.
	🥁 12:35pm wmfromd: I wonder what the Cale/Drake dynamic was. Two very different personalities.
	🥁 12:35pm Brian in UK: Lucinda Williams does a creditable version of Which Will on her Rough Trade album. Now an hour with Lucinda. Hmmm.
	12:36pm dan: ↳ Song: "Saturday Sun" by "Nick Drake" Probably the best musical accompaniment of a single Nick Drake song, and that is the vibraphone work of Tristan Fry on this song.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Hi, Bob, Bobbettes, glad to have made some Drake!
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @12:34 He was a one-off. But there's some artists a bit reminiscent like Alexi Murdoch. And there's lots of VG acoustic guitarists out there. But there's only one Nick Drake.
	12:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:37 Hi there, doc!
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: hey, doctorjazz
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:38 Hello Andrew!
	🥁 12:42pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "I Was Made To Love Magic" by "Nick Drake" could've been the late Ricky Jay's theme song!
	12:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @12:42 I still think he made himself disappear somehow. His greatest misdirection.
	12:45pm Gerry from Miami: Drake's music almost makes me too mesmerized to comment. It's BEYOND comment!
	🥁 12:46pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Sunday" by "Nick Drake" Joe Boyd called this a throwaway. Silly! Great song.
	12:47pm SecretSquirrel: Light touch of bossa nova in this EZ-listening track. A fun outlier in the ND catalog
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:38 Did you get my email?
	🥁 12:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:48pm northguineahills: t'was a time, a year hence that *(auf deutsch, "v der volkswagen-werbespot erschien mit nick drakes, "pink moon), my gf at the time was in LES and saw a tribute at the pink pony...
	12:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:48 (i was a month from moving to nyc myself)
	12:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:48 THEE!!@
	12:51pm northguineahills: a post-humonous recording is technically not impossible, rather, just a wee bit unsavory to most contemporary audiences...
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: ↳ northguineahills @12:48 That ad really did wonders. Plus I actually liked the commercial itself. www.youtube.com...
	12:55pm Frank Zaatar: A question: When I heard Nick Drake later on, I could have sworn I'd heard a song or two back in the day and thought it was (an exceptionally serious) Donovan song. Did Nick Drake get any airplay on the more esoteric college and alternative stations in the US back then?
	🥁 12:56pm PAULS: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:54 And who was the hero of that story? who had the idea to use the song? anyone know? I'm sure it's out there
	12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @12:56 I think you would need to look up the advertising agency that produced the commercial.
	1:02pm Yes: hi bob + all. sounds great
	🥁 1:02pm PAULS: Found 'em. www.boston.com...
	🥁 1:05pm PAULS: Looks mostly like Shane Hutton
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: hi, Yes, thanks.
	1:08pm StringOFperils: O man. This song.
	1:08pm dan: The Day Is Done sounds like something Jim Croce would have sung
	🥁 1:09pm PAULS: ↳ dan @1:08 yet another one gone way too soon
	1:10pm StringOFperils: It's like listening to Jacqueline du Pré. Heartbreaking.
	1:16pm marc mendelson: thanks Bob now I have to hit your archives and listen to part 1 beautiful stuff
	1:20pm northguineahills: ok, i needa finally shovel the driveway and decks (even though it's still flurrying up here). gotta potluck party at the yacht club tomorry...
	🥁 1:26pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:26pm StringOFperils: Must be jelli cuz comprimo don't quatio like that
	🥁 1:27pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ northguineahills @12:49 hope you're doing well NGH!
	1:32pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" This one's an education!
	1:33pm HesperusWrecked: “Northern Sky” is what directed my attention to Nick in 1977. It was the first track on a 99¢ record called “The Greater Antilles Sampler” which also featured June Tabor, Fripp & Eno, and John Cage among others. Cheap sampler albums were such a good thing. Thanks for that hour, Bob!
	1:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" Cool track!
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" Roach was a star already, Clifford Brown a young, up and coming player, imagine how much Roach must have thought of him to have him co-lead a working band with him!
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Hi, HesperusWrecked, thanks. I had that Sampler. Forgot all about Nick being on it!
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Three Little Words" by "Lester Young & The Kansas... Great band! Bass – John Simmons Drums – Jo Jones Piano – Joe Bushkin Tenor Saxophone – Lester Young Trombone – Dickie Wells Trumpet – Bill Coleman (2)
	1:43pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Baby In Two" by "Pernice Brothers" It was a Solomonic decision to play that song.
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette)" by "O'Jays" This really doesn't sound like soul of the time, bit of a throwback 5-10 years, great track!
	1:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pee Wee" by "Miles Davis" The 2nd Miles Classic Quintet...so open sounding...
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Close to closing time, thanks Bob!
	1:52pm StringOFperils: So hard to go and practice guitar after these shows. I feel like protozoa. A thousand basements below it all.
	🥁 1:53pm PAULS: thanks Bob! another terrific show
	🥁 1:55pm Brian in UK: Nice work, boss.
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Superb! Thank you, Bob.
	🥁 1:57pm Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸 Thank you Bob Brainen!!!
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromd: Great one Bob! Thanks!
	🥁 1:58pm (Mr) Bill: Thank you for the uplift, Bob. Hear you next Saturday….
	1:59pm adamdoesit: Great show today. Thank you, Bob!
	1:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Bob, :)

	🥁 11:06am PAULS: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:05 Good morning Andrew mon frère!
	11:06am dan: ↳ Song: "Wintertime Love" by "Doors" A song that you wish was longer
	11:07am Asheville Jon: da doorz
	11:08am Bob Brainen: Hiya, Asheville Jon.
	11:09am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Hinei Ma Tov (Behold The Good)" by "Abayudaya Con... Is it wrong that I keep hearing "tofu"?
	11:09am ∫ydniuß: Bob! 🌞 Nick! 🌕
	11:09am dan: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:02 Agreed. Can't stand that one named poser.
	11:09am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:08 howdy Bob!
	11:10am Bob Brainen: Hey, Roberto. Not if you're hungry
	11:10am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:09 Jon, if you're in Asheville, is everything back to "normal?"
	11:11am dan: Got to see John Ford of the Strawbs for the 3rd time last night at Port Washington Library. He gets better every time. Did his usual Strawbs, Hudson Ford, Monks and solo songs with some Beatle and Kinks covers thrown in,
	11:11am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:11 Nice. Does he plays solo?
	11:12am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:10 i am in asheville no, unfortunately things are not back to 'normal' around here, and won't be for a while. there is some 'recovery', but the old normal is gone
	11:12am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:11 He has a 4 piece band including himself, his son John Ford Jr. and a rhythm section.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @11:12 That sounds good.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:12 Glad there's some progress, wish there was more!
	11:14am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/john-ford/2024/port-washington-public-library-port-washington-ny-7b5fdae4.html Here's the full program played last night.
	11:16am Asheville Jon: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:13 it's just that there is soooooo much to deal with, on so many different levels. clean up and processing all the debris is a huge challenge. lots of basic infrastructure to rebuild. parts of town are still closed to traffic, businesses are still closed, many people in the area simply don't have a house to return to. it's a huge, huge disaster in the region.
	11:17am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:09 I eat a lot of tofu.
	11:17am Bob Brainen: ↳ Asheville Jon @11:16 Terrible
	11:17am Jeff: I didn’t get a chance to mention this last week, so here I go. Like a lot of us, I “discovered” Nick Drake after he died. Much like Eva Cassidy, it was a Village Voice article written after his passing that turned me on. It must’ve been a year or two after his death, and I immediately ran out and bought both Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter. I was blown away! Anybody else see the tribute to Nick at St Ann’s in Brooklyn? Hal Willner co-produced it as he did with the Sandy Denny tribute. They were both amazing nights with incredible musicians and singers. But, I would’ve gladly traded both those experiences to have seen Nick and Sandy while they were still with us.
	11:18am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! See you played a tune by the DOORS. Is it just a myth that there is a widespread antipathy toward the band that permeates the staff and listenership of WFMU? I have on occasion heard it expressed. Would like to hear from you and any listeners who can shed some light on this issue.
	11:18am marc mendelson: ahh clambake what way to wake up ELVIS morning Bob
	11:19am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Do The Clambake" by "Elvis Presley" I'd prefer a tofubake.
	11:20am Bob Brainen: Hey, Gerry from Miami. People in general seem to have a problem with The Doors, no? I love a lot of their work.
	🥁 11:20am listener 126464: Good morning, Bob, everyone.
	11:21am Bob Brainen: Morning, marc mendelson
	11:21am Bob Brainen: listener 126464, morning
	11:21am StringOFperils: Whoa, looky there (Bald head) I see no hair (Bald head)....Professor Longhair. Great minds....
	11:22am Bob Brainen: HIya, StringOFperils
	11:22am StringOFperils: 'Mornin' Bob!
	11:23am StringOFperils: Just got 'Nick Drake-The Life' out of the library. Looks promising!
	11:24am Bob Brainen: ↳ StringOFperils @11:23 Great book, Author has a new one I want to read.
	11:28am adamdoesit: ↳ Roberto @11:09 Roberto, that's totally kosher.
	11:28am dan: ↳ Song: "Why Don't I" by "Sonny Rollins" Sonny Rollins: The last adult survivor of the Great Day in Harlem photo
	11:28am SecretSquirrel: Happy December, Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Same to you, SecretSquirrel
	11:29am Roberto: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 L'chaim to that!
	🥁 11:30am Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸 good morning Bob Brainen and all!!!
	11:31am Soule: Good morning, Bob! Good morning, everyone!
	11:35am Andrew in Toronto: Good mornibng, Soule!
	11:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:18 A lot of love for Bruce McCulloch's 'Doors Fan', which is almost 'in rotation' sometimes, while The Doors themselves have become persona non grata. "People Are Strange", indeed.
	11:37am Soule: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:35 Hey there, Andrew!
	11:37am Bob Brainen: 🐸 🐸 🐸 good morning to you, Will thee SG OCNY 🐸 🐸 🐸
	11:37am Bob Brainen: Good morning, Soule
	11:37am dan: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls" Classic line
	11:39am StringOFperils: ↳ dan @11:37 He would know; he's been both quite a few times.
	11:40am Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Bob!
	11:43am Bob Brainen: Howdy, Doug!
	🥁 11:45am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:24 Bob, Richard Morton Jack has a new book?
	11:47am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:45 Yeah, on British Jazz. I think it's new (?)
	11:48am Gerry from Miami: BOB, interested in knowing when you have Japanese characters(or any other writing system aside from the Roman alphabet) in a song title, how do you get these characters into the playlist? Is it a simple scan? I assume you don't know Japanese.
	11:49am Bob Brainen: Maybe it preceded the Drake book (?) Entitled Labyrinth - British Jazz On Record 1960-75 and written by Richard Morten Jack the book is a 375 page, large-format, premium quality hardback that focuses on all the key albums on both major and independent labels of this pivotal time when boundary-breaking and experimentation first broke through in UK jazz. Anyway, it looks primo!
	11:50am Bob Brainen: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:48 I do not know Japanese. I take the easy way out: cut and paste.
	🥁 11:50am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:49 I haven't heard of it. Everything he's done is primo
	🥁 11:53am Brian in UK: Hello Bob & listeners. YeeeHaw.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:50 He's a class act. From his Sunbeam music label to zine articles and every book I've read thus far.
	11:54am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Fats Blows" by "Fats Navarro [w/ Tadd Dameron]" Ta-ra-ra boom-dee-ay!
	11:54am Bob Brainen: Speaking of doorstops, i just took Joe Boyd's latest out of the library. www.theguardian.com...
	🥁 11:56am wmfromd: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:54 The Boyd book is on my list. Also, there's a book about Thunderclap Newman that looks intriguing.
	11:59am dan: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:54 Now that's a book I gotta check out
	🥁 12:01pm Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & everyone!
	12:02pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Pleyel's Hymn" by "Daniels-Deacon Sacred Harp Sin... I thought Hearty White was starting. Couldn't be Thursday already!
	12:02pm Bob Brainen: Morning, Gina B.
	12:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello bob and listeners...
	12:05pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Ce N'est Pas Bon" by "Amadou and Mariam" "Ce n'est pas bon pour longtemps"? Is that what they're singing?
	12:05pm Bob Brainen: Hiya, tom tom the pipers son
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:03 hi there, tom tom
	🥁 12:09pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 12:09pm Will thee SG OCNY: doing a deep cleaning on all my vocal microphones...
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gina Bacon @12:01 Moining, Gina!
	🥁 12:11pm Gina Bacon: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:10 Morning, Andrew!
	12:15pm dan: ↳ Song: "At The Chime Of A City Clock" by "Nick Drake" Folk and Smooth Jazz all rolled into one.
	12:17pm dan: ↳ Song: "At The Chime Of A City Clock" by "Nick Drake" The drummer on this song, Mike Kowalski, later became Dennis Wilson's replacement in The Beach Boys for almost 30 years.
	12:18pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ dan @12:17 MVP on this (and many other) ensembles is Danny Thompson.
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hey, Frank Zaatar. Thompson is always great!
	12:21pm dan: ↳ Frank Zaatar @12:18 Absolutely. However, Dave Pegg is the bassist on Bryter Layter. I did see a great video of Danny Thompson playing bass with John Martyn, Kathy Mattea and Jerry Douglas doing a rendition of Martyn's classic "May You Never". It's raw and melodic.
	12:22pm StringOFperils: First heard this material on that cream-coloured 'non-album' that was made out of the first two records [still have it] back in the winter of '77, when I was alone in a different city not my own yet, bereft of money and friends,and even hope sometimes. I got it in trade for some records I had. It was one of those listening moments when you look at those other records in the pile and they don't even seem to mean anything anymore. It's powerful stuff, Nick Drake.
	12:24pm tom tom the pipers son: hello andrew on toronto...
	🥁 12:24pm Brian in UK: Bob, apologies if I have told this before. Five leaves left refers to Rizla cigarette papers. When near the end there was a little slip entitled Five leaves left.
	12:26pm Frank Zaatar: I stand corrected. I never got to see them in person, but I was fortunate to get into Pentangle early on from our college radio station.
	12:26pm tom tom the pipers son: oh, thanks brian... sounds carrollian
	12:27pm Bob Brainen: Hi, Brian in UK, that I knew.
	🥁 12:29pm Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:27 You could make a fat one with the five left, then who cares!
	12:29pm northguineahills: booooobbbbooobbbb!!!!!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: northguineahillssssssssssssss!
	12:32pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Brian in UK @12:29 Ha, a blunt!
	12:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:32 i may have stuttered... ;}
	12:33pm SecretSquirrel: Stunning arrangement on ‘Fly’ by John Cale, who also plays viola
	12:34pm dan: ↳ Song: ""One Hour With...Nick Drake, Part Two"" Where are the newer artists with Nick Drake's musical vision today? I swear, the music industry only cares about the easiest way to make music. All algorithm and auto-tuned based, not organic writing, arranging and singing.
	🥁 12:35pm wmfromd: I wonder what the Cale/Drake dynamic was. Two very different personalities.
	🥁 12:35pm Brian in UK: Lucinda Williams does a creditable version of Which Will on her Rough Trade album. Now an hour with Lucinda. Hmmm.
	12:36pm dan: ↳ Song: "Saturday Sun" by "Nick Drake" Probably the best musical accompaniment of a single Nick Drake song, and that is the vibraphone work of Tristan Fry on this song.
	12:37pm doctorjazz: Hi, Bob, Bobbettes, glad to have made some Drake!
	12:37pm Bob Brainen: ↳ dan @12:34 He was a one-off. But there's some artists a bit reminiscent like Alexi Murdoch. And there's lots of VG acoustic guitarists out there. But there's only one Nick Drake.
	12:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:37 Hi there, doc!
	12:38pm Bob Brainen: hey, doctorjazz
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:38 Hello Andrew!
	🥁 12:42pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "I Was Made To Love Magic" by "Nick Drake" could've been the late Ricky Jay's theme song!
	12:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @12:42 I still think he made himself disappear somehow. His greatest misdirection.
	12:45pm Gerry from Miami: Drake's music almost makes me too mesmerized to comment. It's BEYOND comment!
	🥁 12:46pm wmfromd: ↳ Song: "Sunday" by "Nick Drake" Joe Boyd called this a throwaway. Silly! Great song.
	12:47pm SecretSquirrel: Light touch of bossa nova in this EZ-listening track. A fun outlier in the ND catalog
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:38 Did you get my email?
	🥁 12:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: 🐸 🐸 🐸
	12:48pm northguineahills: t'was a time, a year hence that *(auf deutsch, "v der volkswagen-werbespot erschien mit nick drakes, "pink moon), my gf at the time was in LES and saw a tribute at the pink pony...
	12:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:48 (i was a month from moving to nyc myself)
	12:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @12:48 THEE!!@
	12:51pm northguineahills: a post-humonous recording is technically not impossible, rather, just a wee bit unsavory to most contemporary audiences...
	12:54pm Bob Brainen: ↳ northguineahills @12:48 That ad really did wonders. Plus I actually liked the commercial itself. www.youtube.com...
	12:55pm Frank Zaatar: A question: When I heard Nick Drake later on, I could have sworn I'd heard a song or two back in the day and thought it was (an exceptionally serious) Donovan song. Did Nick Drake get any airplay on the more esoteric college and alternative stations in the US back then?
	🥁 12:56pm PAULS: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:54 And who was the hero of that story? who had the idea to use the song? anyone know? I'm sure it's out there
	12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ PAULS @12:56 I think you would need to look up the advertising agency that produced the commercial.
	1:02pm Yes: hi bob + all. sounds great
	🥁 1:02pm PAULS: Found 'em. www.boston.com...
	🥁 1:05pm PAULS: Looks mostly like Shane Hutton
	1:08pm Bob Brainen: hi, Yes, thanks.
	1:08pm StringOFperils: O man. This song.
	1:08pm dan: The Day Is Done sounds like something Jim Croce would have sung
	🥁 1:09pm PAULS: ↳ dan @1:08 yet another one gone way too soon
	1:10pm StringOFperils: It's like listening to Jacqueline du Pré. Heartbreaking.
	1:16pm marc mendelson: thanks Bob now I have to hit your archives and listen to part 1 beautiful stuff
	1:20pm northguineahills: ok, i needa finally shovel the driveway and decks (even though it's still flurrying up here). gotta potluck party at the yacht club tomorry...
	🥁 1:26pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Song: ""frogs and more frogs" @ Joe Bauer's Ranch"" 🐸 🐸 🐸
	1:26pm StringOFperils: Must be jelli cuz comprimo don't quatio like that
	🥁 1:27pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ northguineahills @12:49 hope you're doing well NGH!
	1:32pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" This one's an education!
	1:33pm HesperusWrecked: “Northern Sky” is what directed my attention to Nick in 1977. It was the first track on a 99¢ record called “The Greater Antilles Sampler” which also featured June Tabor, Fripp & Eno, and John Cage among others. Cheap sampler albums were such a good thing. Thanks for that hour, Bob!
	1:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" Cool track!
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: ""talks about Clifford Brown"" by "Max Roach" Roach was a star already, Clifford Brown a young, up and coming player, imagine how much Roach must have thought of him to have him co-lead a working band with him!
	1:36pm Bob Brainen: Hi, HesperusWrecked, thanks. I had that Sampler. Forgot all about Nick being on it!
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Three Little Words" by "Lester Young & The Kansas... Great band! Bass – John Simmons Drums – Jo Jones Piano – Joe Bushkin Tenor Saxophone – Lester Young Trombone – Dickie Wells Trumpet – Bill Coleman (2)
	1:43pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Baby In Two" by "Pernice Brothers" It was a Solomonic decision to play that song.
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette)" by "O'Jays" This really doesn't sound like soul of the time, bit of a throwback 5-10 years, great track!
	1:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pee Wee" by "Miles Davis" The 2nd Miles Classic Quintet...so open sounding...
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Close to closing time, thanks Bob!
	1:52pm StringOFperils: So hard to go and practice guitar after these shows. I feel like protozoa. A thousand basements below it all.
	🥁 1:53pm PAULS: thanks Bob! another terrific show
	🥁 1:55pm Brian in UK: Nice work, boss.
	🥁 1:55pm listener 126464: Superb! Thank you, Bob.
