Good morning, Bob (and all). Looking forward to your program bringing some brightness to this dreary weather day.

Ha! You were reminded of the 'Kung Fu' theme by that 'Green Abbey' track on Shrunken Planet too...

Good morning BB. Thanks for the great music I have never heard before laced with tunes nostalgic.

I love the word play in Chuck's songs: coolerator, motivatin' over the hill.

Exquisite choice. Underrated. Thank you.

Love Johnny Allen's Promised Land.

Hey Sem, sun shining here, hope it is where you are.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:48am fred:

I often chuckle at the "c'est la vie" line, thinking how wild it would be for Chuck Berry to sneak in a reference to Rrose Sélavy

feel free to play piano all morning bob..

K: a delightful sunny day here, just back from a long walk to the winter farmers' Market. Now shouting encouragement to my garlic from the deck.
  9:54am Buckaroo:

The first time I heard this I was convinced that it was Jeff Lynne.
Avatar 9:56am Roberto:

I've been trying to convince Station Manager Ken to revive this song lately. At least someone was listening!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:56am Dano59:

A real high point -- The '90s had some great music. Mike Skinner, right?

I always thought it was the Waterboys

Bob, you got me dancing around the kitchen and I haven't even had my coffee yet. Good morning!
Avatar 9:57am Roberto:

I think Ken refers to it as the best Todd Rundgren song that's not Todd Rundgren.

@@hopewithfeathers: love the name.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:00am hopewithfeathers:

Thanks! @SemChumbo. Goes with my costume ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:04am Ken From Hyde Park:

SM Ken usually plays New Radicals during the marathon, but not this year, to my recollection.
  10:10am pp:

noticed that the intro to Katy Perry's song Firework sounds like the New Radicals You Give What You Get. But it gets worse, Perry's entire song Teenage Dream sounds exactly like YGWYG. That's a definition of a formula.
Avatar 10:12am annie:

so good to hear this come back around on the guitar, i've been meaning to star=click it..
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:13am WilliamfromDumont:

Is it possible that Gene Clark had more unreleased material than any other artist?

Mornin' all :D
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:13am Uncle Michael:

Thurl! Best version!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:13am Brian in UK:

Gene Clark singing 'See the Sky About to Rain' on Byrds is one wonderful cover. He could write and cover. Great voice. Sad life.
  10:15am Ralphine:

That's Tony the Tiger singing with Rosemary Clooney?
Avatar 10:15am fm Mike:

Mmm, I dig this sound!
Avatar 10:15am KP:

Thanks for Gene & Burritos. It's a great set on Sierra.

This is grrrrreat.

Linda Ronstadt did a fine cover of She Darked the Sun.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16am Uncle Michael:

Yes it is, Ralphine. Thurl Ravenscroft.
  10:17am ?:

Shakin' Stevens did a great version of This Old House.

Think we have all been there, Lee.

I'd forgotten this was re-made as a Coke commercial.
Avatar 10:22am annie:

whenever i hear a smooth lick like this i check to see..... yep tadd dameron.
  10:29am Stuart Rose:

Some fine melodies on today's show, coming from Bob's usual quilt of genres.
Yes, Annie, Dameron is one elegant bebopper.
I am having some real trouble with the app, though.
Avatar 10:39am annie:

from IMDb, re: "The Hired Hand": If you're into film that has to have a cut every 3 seconds to stay interesting, skip this one. But if you're into film as an art form, this is a must see.

The photography is masterful by Vilmos Zsigmond. From the deeply rich silhouettes made with the natural light of a sunset to the shading and textures of lamp and fire light, this film is a profound lesson in painting with light.

The montage scenes blend the beautiful images into a pensive and graceful passage of time. The editing creates a deliberate pace that recreates a time when a horse trot was the natural speed. But when the gun battles begin the pace quickens to a gallop.

The delicate music is perfect blend of instruments for the visuals and provides the emotional depth that music should.

Under Peter Fonda's creative direction the film's elements deliver a story of a man who returns home to make things right because he had the courage to change. And just when the man and his wife restore their love and trust in each other, he had the courage go away again to save his longtime friend.
  10:42am Ralphine:

Thanks, Uncle Michael.
  10:43am chicago yak:

Hey Bob- The bass voice on This Ole House is Thurl Ravenscroft of Tony The Tiger/Mr. Grinch fame.....the usual stellar show today, sir!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:53am Dano59:

Apologies for my Mike Skinner guess - he's The Streets. New Radicals' mastermind is Gregg Alexander.
  10:54am 1whoknewcthulhu:

My god--The Turtles almost sound like The Zombies on this track!
