	9:13am Zoot: I remember Earth Opera,but not Space Opera
	9:14am Earth: Thank you Bob.
	9:15am ?: Thank you for turning us on to Space Opera, Bob. A true Public Service!
	🥁 ♥ 9:15am wmfromdumont: Wow, I don't remember the Flower Pot Men being this good!
	9:16am CalZone!: The Space Opera track was magnificent! Every Saturday that I spend listening to this show, results in an expanded record want list!
	9:16am Bob Brainen: Zoot, I knew Space Opera but did not hear them for quite some time. Fantastic band w/ albums separated by decades.
	9:18am Bob Brainen: Thank you Earth & ? wm. these guys were full of surprises! Thanks CalZone!
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: I turned up the treble knob for the jangle. Maybe I shoulda turned it down!
	9:19am Bob Brainen: TDK60 - ha, I know hat you mean.
	9:20am Bob Brainen: sorry What you mean!
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am Uncle Michael: Was that the Tony Burrows Flower Pot Men?
	9:21am Todd E: Space Opera — nice! New to these ears, will be checking out the album.
	🥁 ♥ 9:21am Uncle Michael: This is starting to remind me of Gaylord's fake Byrds marathon premium...which is EXCELLENT.
	9:21am Bob Brainen: Hey Uncle Michael, yep. Burroughs and Carter, Lewis & Shakespeare.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blow Away' sounded like bYRdS from about the same time - recorded raw like the Elevators or something...a nice discovery!...
	9:24am Joe M: I never understood how Lady Friend wasn't a hit- what a glorious arrangement.
	9:24am Marc Francis: My favourite Byrds song. Such a CHOOOOOOOOON!
	🥁 ♥ 9:24am wmfromdumont: Interesting to hear them try to pull this song live on The Tonight Show. A little rocky but they do it.
	9:26am Jeff: Real nice set, Bob!
	9:27am Wilie: Hello from rural Ireland. This is perfect music for working on this cabin. More reverb!!
	9:27am egould310: Beachwood Sparks hell yeah. I remember doing dugs with those guys when they were “Further”. Google California Bummer. Great tune.
	9:28am Bob Brainen: Joe M. totally agree. One of mine too, Marc Francis! wm. yeah 5 & 4 Byrds were not the greatest live band. But I would have LOVED to have been there to judge for myself! Thanks Jeff. Hey Willie-thanks
	9:28am kevlicki: TDK60 how you holding up down there? At least another month until I return to market. Enjoying my winter break!
	♥ 9:28am Artie: Good morning, Brainey-folk. Lovin’ this set.
	9:29am Bob Brainen: egould, that was their band name ? Hey Artie
	9:29am CalZone!: The Beechwood Sparks lp was recently reissued on vinyl and it is supposed to sound fantastic!
	🥁 ♥ 9:30am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob and brainiacs. Some beaux jangles today.
	9:30am egould310: Yes. The Rademaker brothers band was named Further. And I did drugs; not dugs.
	9:31am billohara: nice groove. kind of bob weir
	♥ 9:31am TDK60: Bob, I saw the Byrds twice, and they were friggin' great.
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am wmfromdumont: Re: Ladyfriend. Have to agree with Crosby. The original mix is kinda muddy. Probably didn't help sales.
	9:33am Moe: Great opening set...
	♥ 9:33am TDK60: Kevlicki! Holding up I guess! I look forward to vegetable market again. (Do you all grow veggies indoors in wynter?)
	9:39am Bob Brainen: CalZone I saw that I have 2 newer albums of theirs to catch up on! Hue Adam, Well drugs make you write dugs. TDK60, I saw the Clarence-era Byrds many times, but not before '69. Wm. I'd want a reason why my song wasn't a hit too! But I don't buy it. Lots of muddled mixes still scored. Thanks Moe,
	♥ 9:40am TDK60: Bob, saw them in '65 and '66. Magic.
	9:42am Bob Brainen: TDK60, wow, in Cali? L.A. ? My #1 "if I coulda been there" time and place wish is Ciros on The Strip in 65!
	🥁 ♥ 9:43am wmfromdumont: @TDK60. Wow!
	♥ 9:45am TDK60: Bob: '65- Syria Theater, Newark - 'Turn, Turn Turn' tour. '66- Village Gate, NYC - 'Fifth Dimension' tour. Infriggin'credible.
	9:46am Bob Brainen: TDK60 - JEALOUS! Good for you! I was a little too young.
	9:47am egould310: King Gizzard; now here’s a band I’d like to do drugs with. Alas, I have stretched and it’s time for a run and stair climbing. Keep these tunes pumping, Bob.
	♥ 9:48am Rick from SC: I love these guys
	♥ 9:48am luka: i never much noticed KG&tLW before, Bob, but you’ve really turned me on to them.
	9:50am Jeff: My buddy Glenn Spivack (who’s a mean lefty pedal steel player) grew up in Da Bronx. I recall Glenn telling me he saw the original five Byrds up at Lehman College (or, could it have been Hunter in Manhattan?).
	9:50am MikeyfromNC: Good Morning BB & Friends - I'm a big Clarence-era Byrds fan. Bob - you mentioned The Byrds are your all-time favorite group and that Gene Clark is your favorite Byrd. Share with us your favorite Byrds Lp and favorite all-time Bryds track. Thanks for all you do, Brother!
	🥁 ♥ 9:50am wmfromdumont: I remember my neighbor in Boulder CO. nonchalantly telling me about seeing the Byrds in Denver in '65. She also saw the Springfield in Colorado Springs.
	9:50am Bob Brainen: Hey Rick from SC, I was late to the Gizz but caught up thanks to my friend Pete. Yr welcome luka.
	9:51am CalZone!: Note to self: pick up a case of Ballentine tall boy cans later and stick them in the snow.
	9:53am Bob Brainen: MikeyfromNC, song: She don't care about time. LP, surprisingly, is Notorious Byrd Brothers (after Gene) But...I LOVE the first 5 Byrds albums. After that, it's cherry pickin' time for me.
	9:53am Zoot: CalZone: how about some Ballantine Scotch Whisky
	9:54am Bob Brainen: Wm. man, I feel like you must have felt. If only...
	♥ 9:54am Cooh John: Listening on a snowy morning from Roland Kirkville. Hello BB & brainiacs.
	9:55am billohara: smile
	9:56am Bob Brainen: Hey Cooh John, A smile back at cha, billohara!
	9:56am CalZone!: Zoot, sounds like a plan!
	9:57am kevlicki: TDK60 we’ve got stuff overwintering in tunnels and roots in the cellar!
	♥ 9:58am Andrew in Toronto: Hey there @Cooh John.
	9:59am bigplanetnoise: Good morning! Good morning!
	♥ 10:00am TDK60: Kev: Tunnels, cellars! Subterranean sounding...because they are.
	♥ 10:00am Rick from SC: Bob, thanks for Godley & Creme love
	♥ 10:02am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & all!
	10:03am Bob Brainen: Morning bigplanetnoise & Gina. Yr welcome Rick from SC.
	10:07am Kevino: Hey Bob, You conjured up a memory of Southern Comfort, Frog City. you might find it worthy of a listen.
	♥ 10:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Bob & all!
	10:11am Bob Brainen: Thanks Kevino, will check Youtube. Hey Greg from ZONE 5,
	10:11am CalZone!: Love the Strata East weekly features!
	♥ 10:12am Ben in Long Melford, UK: Hi Bob. I'm really enjoying the show. According to NME "The new track begins with cooing harmonica, and Mackenzie singing the full title in falsetto: “One Night Everywhere“."
	10:16am Bob Brainen: Glad to hear it, Calzone! Hey Ben in Long Melford, UK, sorry, what's that in reference to?
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am watchpocket: Good morning Bob and good morning all! The question for the day: How can Strata-East Records have put out so much marvelous material and yet be so obscure?
	10:17am Bob Brainen: Monring watchpocket,
	🥁 ♥ 10:17am wmfromdumont: Was Boz Scaggs in the band yet? Or is this just prior to that?
	10:17am Bob Brainen: hey I'm losin' it!!
	♥ 10:18am Ben in Long Melford, UK: Hi Bob, sorry I may have misheard you but thought you wondered where O.N.E. got its name.
	10:18am Zoot: Waiting for some guitar
	10:19am Bob Brainen: wm. not yet, Curley Cooke was other guitarist.
	10:19am Kpx: Good Saturday morning Bob & brainiacs, this past Monday i singing this tune. ♪ it's beginning to look a lot like Bob Brainen, this Bob Brainen time of year♪. Bet your feeling better now that a decent amount of snow fail.
	10:20am Bob Brainen: Thanks Ben! No, it's all on me. I knew as soon as you jogged my brain I'd say "Doh" so "Doh!"
	10:21am Bob Brainen: Kpx, hey, if you record it, I may use it!
	10:23am Kpx: Correction, I "SANG" this tune.
	10:23am Jeff: Junior Mance R.I.P. it seemed, back in the ‘70s, Junior was always playing at the street level part of the Village Gate - no cover charge.
	10:24am Taavi: Mance with Marty Rivera on bass...
	10:24am Bob Brainen: Hey Jeff, would have dug seeing him!
	10:25am Bob Brainen: Hey Taavi,
	🥁 ♥ 10:26am watchpocket: Would you say all or most of the Strata-East material is in print today Bob? (Either on LP or CD)?
	10:28am Bob Brainen: watchpocket, hard to say, but it was owned by musicians themselves, not label, so think LOTS has not been reissued?
	10:29am ?: Bob - MOST EXCELLENT opening set today. I am with you - The Byrds are the GREATEST!! Thank you!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am watchpocket: Frank O'Toole once told me Notorious Byrd Brothers was his favorite Byrds album. It may even be my favorite Byrds album.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am wmfromdumont: Man, in the 80's you could find a lot of Strata-East stuff in cut-out bins, usually still sealed and cheap.
	10:31am Taavi: Jeff: Oh, no, I was thinking of the Knickerbocker, in the 80s. Mance and Rivera were fixtures there, and always a pleasure. Was a couple of bucks cover, as I remember, to be at the bar, overlooking the piano.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am watchpocket: @wmfromdumont: Wow.
	10:33am Kpx: @BB: I was taken back a little before when you said the byrds were your fave. Because up until now I would have sworn that NRBQ were.
	10:33am Bob Brainen: Yeah, one of many FXO & I agreed upon. Wm. late 70s & 80s...& 90s was when I got a lot of mine.
	10:34am Todd-o-phonic Todd: I heard Jon Spencer cover "Old Moss Back" at Monty Hall. It's practically a standard!
	10:36am Bob Brainen: Kpx, NRBQ is my fave band that is still around! But Byrds, hey it goes back to being a mind-blown just-turned-12 year old boy.
	10:37am Bob Brainen: Todd-o, a standard, I like that!
	10:37am SmokinJ: Ahh... Butter! 8-)
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am wmfromdumont: Butterfield with horns in '65? Wow!
	10:38am Linda Lee: Bob!!! so glad to hear you again! missed you.
	10:39am Bob Brainen: Hey Linda Lee, thank you!
	10:40am Linda Lee: talk about slow on the uptake! took me a while to realize you're back from hiatus. so glad.
	10:40am Smooth: Reminds me of Hodges Blood Count
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am SecretSquirrel: Bob, you probably know more about NRBQ than some people who've been in the band. So I have a question: is that just Al Anderson on lead vocals in 'Riding in My Car,'? Listened to the song last night for about the thousandth time, and it sounds like the double-tracked lead vocal is actually Al and Joey singing together in unison without any stereo panning. A little off-topic I know, but any light to shed would be great.
	10:42am Bob Brainen: Yeah, I'm tryin' to get the word out there. Hey, there's tons of archives!
	10:42am Rich M: Great Sax!
	10:43am Linda Lee: i'll sure help! fmu hasn't gone to hell after all.. ;-)
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Not fair to include Igor in the Saturday mix, Bob. Just kidding. It's just too good!
	10:44am Bob Brainen: Smooth, I was thinking Hodges too! SecretSquirrel, I'm no expert, just a fan, but I always thought/assumed it was Al. I'll have to relisten.
	10:47am Linda Lee: morning TDK60! how are you today?
	10:47am Kpx: @BB: I can speak for TDK 60 and myself when I say; Very Groovy man,Very Groovy. He and I and some others are on a mission to bring back the slang word groovy, are you with?
	10:49am Linda Lee: here's a pretty track. i'm hearing Everything But The Girl in her phrasing & style.
	♥ 10:49am TDK60: Morning Linda L. Fine right now. You? Kpx, your sunshine spirit is no bummer, man.
	10:50am Linda Lee: glad to hear that! i'm doing super well. i'm not shoveling snow at all this year.
	10:50am Doc Rock: As always Bob, thanks for another great broadcast.
	10:50am Jeff: Bob, you’re constantly turning me on to things I never knew exited (and, I thought I knew it all). Shellyann Orphan - just beautiful. Of course, I had to look ‘em up and was saddened to read that Caroline Crawley (half of the duo) died in 2016. Bittersweet
	10:51am Jeff: Existed - not exited!
	10:51am bigplanetnoise: Sounding just great, Bob. You’ve made me settle in for a second cup of coffee...
	10:51am Linda Lee: time sure flies! we're here & gone, aren't we. good to remember that.
	10:51am Patrick: Good Morning Bob Philadelphia checking in.Thanks. for great Show
	🥁 ♥ 10:52am wmfromdumont: Groovy is the only way to be.
	10:53am Linda Lee: 'groovy' is a profound state. surely!
	10:53am Kpx: @TDK60: Right On Man, Right On!
	10:54am Linda Lee: sure wish the site would let me in to distribute clicky-stars. alas, just have to express appreciation other ways.
	10:54am Bob Brainen: Hey Patrick, Thanks! I can dig it!
	🥁 ♥ 10:55am watchpocket: Thanks once again Bob for your unique and always surprising tastes, from this lo-tech Hoboken bunker.
	♥ 10:55am Gina Bacon: Thanks for a great Saturday morning, music-wise!
	10:55am Joe W.: Wow! Haven’t heard Nubia in years. Great Felix vocal performance. Thanks Bob for a wonderful show.
	♥ 10:55am TDK60: Bob, You really "socked it to me" today, brother. Keep on truckin.'
	10:56am MikeyfromNC: Bob & watchpocket - add me to the list of folks whose favorite Byrds LP is Notorious Byrd Brothers. Honored to know that FXO thought the same.
	10:57am Linda Lee: thanks a lot, Bob! see you again soon!
	♥ 10:57am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another amazing show Bob. What an awesome outro!
	10:57am CalZone!: Superb show BB! Now I am ready to face the day!
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: (Forgot to say, later jazzier-psych Rascals is great.)
	10:58am ?: I'd overthrow the gummint for a Klondike Bar
	10:59am Linda Lee: beautiful. you'll just have to find it!
	♥ 10:59am Cooh John: Hi Andrew in Toronto. Always wanted to visit your city.
	11:00am Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	11:01am Bob Brainen: Thanks all, have a great weekend!
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ BB ! ...Cliff Gallup a hero of Jeff Beck...
	2:47am Eugene Bentley: As mentioned before, Tony Burrows was the other singer in the Flowerpot Men. Tony is kind of the Joey Levine of Britain. Joey Levine was lead vocals on Bubblegum concoctions Third Rail, Ohio Express and Reunion where Tony Burrows did vocals for British studio concoctions White Plains (My Baby Loves Lovin'), Edison Lighthouse (Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes) and First Class (Beach Baby).

	9:13am Zoot: I remember Earth Opera,but not Space Opera
	9:14am Earth: Thank you Bob.
	9:15am ?: Thank you for turning us on to Space Opera, Bob. A true Public Service!
	🥁 ♥ 9:15am wmfromdumont: Wow, I don't remember the Flower Pot Men being this good!
	9:16am CalZone!: The Space Opera track was magnificent! Every Saturday that I spend listening to this show, results in an expanded record want list!
	9:16am Bob Brainen: Zoot, I knew Space Opera but did not hear them for quite some time. Fantastic band w/ albums separated by decades.
	9:18am Bob Brainen: Thank you Earth & ? wm. these guys were full of surprises! Thanks CalZone!
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: I turned up the treble knob for the jangle. Maybe I shoulda turned it down!
	9:19am Bob Brainen: TDK60 - ha, I know hat you mean.
	9:20am Bob Brainen: sorry What you mean!
	🥁 ♥ 9:20am Uncle Michael: Was that the Tony Burrows Flower Pot Men?
	9:21am Todd E: Space Opera — nice! New to these ears, will be checking out the album.
	🥁 ♥ 9:21am Uncle Michael: This is starting to remind me of Gaylord's fake Byrds marathon premium...which is EXCELLENT.
	9:21am Bob Brainen: Hey Uncle Michael, yep. Burroughs and Carter, Lewis & Shakespeare.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Blow Away' sounded like bYRdS from about the same time - recorded raw like the Elevators or something...a nice discovery!...
	9:24am Joe M: I never understood how Lady Friend wasn't a hit- what a glorious arrangement.
	9:24am Marc Francis: My favourite Byrds song. Such a CHOOOOOOOOON!
	🥁 ♥ 9:24am wmfromdumont: Interesting to hear them try to pull this song live on The Tonight Show. A little rocky but they do it.
	9:26am Jeff: Real nice set, Bob!
	9:27am Wilie: Hello from rural Ireland. This is perfect music for working on this cabin. More reverb!!
	9:27am egould310: Beachwood Sparks hell yeah. I remember doing dugs with those guys when they were “Further”. Google California Bummer. Great tune.
	9:28am Bob Brainen: Joe M. totally agree. One of mine too, Marc Francis! wm. yeah 5 & 4 Byrds were not the greatest live band. But I would have LOVED to have been there to judge for myself! Thanks Jeff. Hey Willie-thanks
	9:28am kevlicki: TDK60 how you holding up down there? At least another month until I return to market. Enjoying my winter break!
	♥ 9:28am Artie: Good morning, Brainey-folk. Lovin’ this set.
	9:29am Bob Brainen: egould, that was their band name ? Hey Artie
	9:29am CalZone!: The Beechwood Sparks lp was recently reissued on vinyl and it is supposed to sound fantastic!
	🥁 ♥ 9:30am adamdoesit: Good morning, Bob and brainiacs. Some beaux jangles today.
	9:30am egould310: Yes. The Rademaker brothers band was named Further. And I did drugs; not dugs.
	9:31am billohara: nice groove. kind of bob weir
	♥ 9:31am TDK60: Bob, I saw the Byrds twice, and they were friggin' great.
	🥁 ♥ 9:32am wmfromdumont: Re: Ladyfriend. Have to agree with Crosby. The original mix is kinda muddy. Probably didn't help sales.
	9:33am Moe: Great opening set...
	♥ 9:33am TDK60: Kevlicki! Holding up I guess! I look forward to vegetable market again. (Do you all grow veggies indoors in wynter?)
	9:39am Bob Brainen: CalZone I saw that I have 2 newer albums of theirs to catch up on! Hue Adam, Well drugs make you write dugs. TDK60, I saw the Clarence-era Byrds many times, but not before '69. Wm. I'd want a reason why my song wasn't a hit too! But I don't buy it. Lots of muddled mixes still scored. Thanks Moe,
	♥ 9:40am TDK60: Bob, saw them in '65 and '66. Magic.
	9:42am Bob Brainen: TDK60, wow, in Cali? L.A. ? My #1 "if I coulda been there" time and place wish is Ciros on The Strip in 65!
	🥁 ♥ 9:43am wmfromdumont: @TDK60. Wow!
	♥ 9:45am TDK60: Bob: '65- Syria Theater, Newark - 'Turn, Turn Turn' tour. '66- Village Gate, NYC - 'Fifth Dimension' tour. Infriggin'credible.
	9:46am Bob Brainen: TDK60 - JEALOUS! Good for you! I was a little too young.
	9:47am egould310: King Gizzard; now here’s a band I’d like to do drugs with. Alas, I have stretched and it’s time for a run and stair climbing. Keep these tunes pumping, Bob.
	♥ 9:48am Rick from SC: I love these guys
	♥ 9:48am luka: i never much noticed KG&tLW before, Bob, but you’ve really turned me on to them.
	9:50am Jeff: My buddy Glenn Spivack (who’s a mean lefty pedal steel player) grew up in Da Bronx. I recall Glenn telling me he saw the original five Byrds up at Lehman College (or, could it have been Hunter in Manhattan?).
	9:50am MikeyfromNC: Good Morning BB & Friends - I'm a big Clarence-era Byrds fan. Bob - you mentioned The Byrds are your all-time favorite group and that Gene Clark is your favorite Byrd. Share with us your favorite Byrds Lp and favorite all-time Bryds track. Thanks for all you do, Brother!
	🥁 ♥ 9:50am wmfromdumont: I remember my neighbor in Boulder CO. nonchalantly telling me about seeing the Byrds in Denver in '65. She also saw the Springfield in Colorado Springs.
	9:50am Bob Brainen: Hey Rick from SC, I was late to the Gizz but caught up thanks to my friend Pete. Yr welcome luka.
	9:51am CalZone!: Note to self: pick up a case of Ballentine tall boy cans later and stick them in the snow.
	9:53am Bob Brainen: MikeyfromNC, song: She don't care about time. LP, surprisingly, is Notorious Byrd Brothers (after Gene) But...I LOVE the first 5 Byrds albums. After that, it's cherry pickin' time for me.
	9:53am Zoot: CalZone: how about some Ballantine Scotch Whisky
	9:54am Bob Brainen: Wm. man, I feel like you must have felt. If only...
	♥ 9:54am Cooh John: Listening on a snowy morning from Roland Kirkville. Hello BB & brainiacs.
	9:55am billohara: smile
	9:56am Bob Brainen: Hey Cooh John, A smile back at cha, billohara!
	9:56am CalZone!: Zoot, sounds like a plan!
	9:57am kevlicki: TDK60 we’ve got stuff overwintering in tunnels and roots in the cellar!
	♥ 9:58am Andrew in Toronto: Hey there @Cooh John.
	9:59am bigplanetnoise: Good morning! Good morning!
	♥ 10:00am TDK60: Kev: Tunnels, cellars! Subterranean sounding...because they are.
	♥ 10:00am Rick from SC: Bob, thanks for Godley & Creme love
	♥ 10:02am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & all!
	10:03am Bob Brainen: Morning bigplanetnoise & Gina. Yr welcome Rick from SC.
	10:07am Kevino: Hey Bob, You conjured up a memory of Southern Comfort, Frog City. you might find it worthy of a listen.
	♥ 10:10am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Bob & all!
	10:11am Bob Brainen: Thanks Kevino, will check Youtube. Hey Greg from ZONE 5,
	10:11am CalZone!: Love the Strata East weekly features!
	♥ 10:12am Ben in Long Melford, UK: Hi Bob. I'm really enjoying the show. According to NME "The new track begins with cooing harmonica, and Mackenzie singing the full title in falsetto: “One Night Everywhere“."
	10:16am Bob Brainen: Glad to hear it, Calzone! Hey Ben in Long Melford, UK, sorry, what's that in reference to?
	🥁 ♥ 10:16am watchpocket: Good morning Bob and good morning all! The question for the day: How can Strata-East Records have put out so much marvelous material and yet be so obscure?
	10:17am Bob Brainen: Monring watchpocket,
	🥁 ♥ 10:17am wmfromdumont: Was Boz Scaggs in the band yet? Or is this just prior to that?
	10:17am Bob Brainen: hey I'm losin' it!!
	♥ 10:18am Ben in Long Melford, UK: Hi Bob, sorry I may have misheard you but thought you wondered where O.N.E. got its name.
	10:18am Zoot: Waiting for some guitar
	10:19am Bob Brainen: wm. not yet, Curley Cooke was other guitarist.
	10:19am Kpx: Good Saturday morning Bob & brainiacs, this past Monday i singing this tune. ♪ it's beginning to look a lot like Bob Brainen, this Bob Brainen time of year♪. Bet your feeling better now that a decent amount of snow fail.
	10:20am Bob Brainen: Thanks Ben! No, it's all on me. I knew as soon as you jogged my brain I'd say "Doh" so "Doh!"
	10:21am Bob Brainen: Kpx, hey, if you record it, I may use it!
	10:23am Kpx: Correction, I "SANG" this tune.
	10:23am Jeff: Junior Mance R.I.P. it seemed, back in the ‘70s, Junior was always playing at the street level part of the Village Gate - no cover charge.
	10:24am Taavi: Mance with Marty Rivera on bass...
	10:24am Bob Brainen: Hey Jeff, would have dug seeing him!
	10:25am Bob Brainen: Hey Taavi,
	🥁 ♥ 10:26am watchpocket: Would you say all or most of the Strata-East material is in print today Bob? (Either on LP or CD)?
	10:28am Bob Brainen: watchpocket, hard to say, but it was owned by musicians themselves, not label, so think LOTS has not been reissued?
	10:29am ?: Bob - MOST EXCELLENT opening set today. I am with you - The Byrds are the GREATEST!! Thank you!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am watchpocket: Frank O'Toole once told me Notorious Byrd Brothers was his favorite Byrds album. It may even be my favorite Byrds album.
	🥁 ♥ 10:30am wmfromdumont: Man, in the 80's you could find a lot of Strata-East stuff in cut-out bins, usually still sealed and cheap.
	10:31am Taavi: Jeff: Oh, no, I was thinking of the Knickerbocker, in the 80s. Mance and Rivera were fixtures there, and always a pleasure. Was a couple of bucks cover, as I remember, to be at the bar, overlooking the piano.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31am watchpocket: @wmfromdumont: Wow.
	10:33am Kpx: @BB: I was taken back a little before when you said the byrds were your fave. Because up until now I would have sworn that NRBQ were.
	10:33am Bob Brainen: Yeah, one of many FXO & I agreed upon. Wm. late 70s & 80s...& 90s was when I got a lot of mine.
	10:34am Todd-o-phonic Todd: I heard Jon Spencer cover "Old Moss Back" at Monty Hall. It's practically a standard!
	10:36am Bob Brainen: Kpx, NRBQ is my fave band that is still around! But Byrds, hey it goes back to being a mind-blown just-turned-12 year old boy.
	10:37am Bob Brainen: Todd-o, a standard, I like that!
	10:37am SmokinJ: Ahh... Butter! 8-)
	🥁 ♥ 10:37am wmfromdumont: Butterfield with horns in '65? Wow!
	10:38am Linda Lee: Bob!!! so glad to hear you again! missed you.
	10:39am Bob Brainen: Hey Linda Lee, thank you!
	10:40am Linda Lee: talk about slow on the uptake! took me a while to realize you're back from hiatus. so glad.
	10:40am Smooth: Reminds me of Hodges Blood Count
	🥁 ♥ 10:41am SecretSquirrel: Bob, you probably know more about NRBQ than some people who've been in the band. So I have a question: is that just Al Anderson on lead vocals in 'Riding in My Car,'? Listened to the song last night for about the thousandth time, and it sounds like the double-tracked lead vocal is actually Al and Joey singing together in unison without any stereo panning. A little off-topic I know, but any light to shed would be great.
	10:42am Bob Brainen: Yeah, I'm tryin' to get the word out there. Hey, there's tons of archives!
	10:42am Rich M: Great Sax!
	10:43am Linda Lee: i'll sure help! fmu hasn't gone to hell after all.. ;-)
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Not fair to include Igor in the Saturday mix, Bob. Just kidding. It's just too good!
	10:44am Bob Brainen: Smooth, I was thinking Hodges too! SecretSquirrel, I'm no expert, just a fan, but I always thought/assumed it was Al. I'll have to relisten.
	10:47am Linda Lee: morning TDK60! how are you today?
	10:47am Kpx: @BB: I can speak for TDK 60 and myself when I say; Very Groovy man,Very Groovy. He and I and some others are on a mission to bring back the slang word groovy, are you with?
	10:49am Linda Lee: here's a pretty track. i'm hearing Everything But The Girl in her phrasing & style.
	♥ 10:49am TDK60: Morning Linda L. Fine right now. You? Kpx, your sunshine spirit is no bummer, man.
	10:50am Linda Lee: glad to hear that! i'm doing super well. i'm not shoveling snow at all this year.
	10:50am Doc Rock: As always Bob, thanks for another great broadcast.
	10:50am Jeff: Bob, you’re constantly turning me on to things I never knew exited (and, I thought I knew it all). Shellyann Orphan - just beautiful. Of course, I had to look ‘em up and was saddened to read that Caroline Crawley (half of the duo) died in 2016. Bittersweet
	10:51am Jeff: Existed - not exited!
	10:51am bigplanetnoise: Sounding just great, Bob. You’ve made me settle in for a second cup of coffee...
	10:51am Linda Lee: time sure flies! we're here & gone, aren't we. good to remember that.
	10:51am Patrick: Good Morning Bob Philadelphia checking in.Thanks. for great Show
	🥁 ♥ 10:52am wmfromdumont: Groovy is the only way to be.
	10:53am Linda Lee: 'groovy' is a profound state. surely!
	10:53am Kpx: @TDK60: Right On Man, Right On!
	10:54am Linda Lee: sure wish the site would let me in to distribute clicky-stars. alas, just have to express appreciation other ways.
	10:54am Bob Brainen: Hey Patrick, Thanks! I can dig it!
	🥁 ♥ 10:55am watchpocket: Thanks once again Bob for your unique and always surprising tastes, from this lo-tech Hoboken bunker.
	♥ 10:55am Gina Bacon: Thanks for a great Saturday morning, music-wise!
	10:55am Joe W.: Wow! Haven’t heard Nubia in years. Great Felix vocal performance. Thanks Bob for a wonderful show.
	♥ 10:55am TDK60: Bob, You really "socked it to me" today, brother. Keep on truckin.'
	10:56am MikeyfromNC: Bob & watchpocket - add me to the list of folks whose favorite Byrds LP is Notorious Byrd Brothers. Honored to know that FXO thought the same.
	10:57am Linda Lee: thanks a lot, Bob! see you again soon!
	♥ 10:57am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another amazing show Bob. What an awesome outro!
	10:57am CalZone!: Superb show BB! Now I am ready to face the day!
	♥ 10:58am TDK60: (Forgot to say, later jazzier-psych Rascals is great.)
	10:58am ?: I'd overthrow the gummint for a Klondike Bar
	10:59am Linda Lee: beautiful. you'll just have to find it!
	♥ 10:59am Cooh John: Hi Andrew in Toronto. Always wanted to visit your city.
	11:00am Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	11:01am Bob Brainen: Thanks all, have a great weekend!
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ BB ! ...Cliff Gallup a hero of Jeff Beck...
	2:47am Eugene Bentley: As mentioned before, Tony Burrows was the other singer in the Flowerpot Men. Tony is kind of the Joey Levine of Britain. Joey Levine was lead vocals on Bubblegum concoctions Third Rail, Ohio Express and Reunion where Tony Burrows did vocals for British studio concoctions White Plains (My Baby Loves Lovin'), Edison Lighthouse (Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes) and First Class (Beach Baby).
