There have been a few Byrds Dylan cover compilations, the longest of which was about 20 songs, so I'd guess an hour, tops, oh well.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm
Funky16Corners:

I did a Dylan covers show a while back, it had only one Byrds record in it, so the possibilities for a Byrds-heavy volume two are good

Hey Larry! Thanks for the fill-in. The work thing I took off for got cancelled due to the weather, so it's nice to hear what you're doing. I really like this John Buck Wilkin album you're been playing. What's known about him?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Irene! I will go into his story in depth at the break.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm
Funky16Corners:

He has lots of interesting connections.

Ira:

There was an article in Rolling Stone about The Weight last week - ownership or 50% of it goes back to Big Pink - worth reading
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:48pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Ira! I'll look for that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:49pm
Irene Trudel:

Ooh, Jimmie Spheeris! Love his music. Haven't played his records in a while.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:50pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes, really interesting guy. Great voice
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm
Brian in UK:

Hello Larry. Ah Jimmie Spheeris. Love this album.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm
doctorjazz:

What I read about The Weight was that Dylan's publishing had the rights, which were sold when Dylan sold his catalog recently.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Brian!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:52pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - I was trying to figure out how Dylan got the rights in the first place
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:57pm
Brian in UK:

The string arranger on Spheeris' first four albums. David Campbell, is Beck's dad.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:57pm
Funky16Corners:

I did not know that!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:57pm
WR:

Had roommate back then who listened a lot to John Martyn and Jimmie Spheeris. I was more into Tim Buckley and Shawn Phillips when in mood for this sort of thing. Jeez. That was so long ago but the music bridges me to that time.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:58pm
Funky16Corners:

Buckley and Phillips both added in a little jazz flavor
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:58pm
Brian in UK:

And his sister directed Wayne's World. Enough trivia.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:59pm
Funky16Corners:

Yes! They grew up in a traveling carnival, too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm
Funky16Corners:

If Lee Hazlewood had never made another record I'd still think he was a mad genius for this one
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:03pm
Irene Trudel:

I discovered Jimmie Spheeris in high school through a friend who was into lots of soft pop. She was also totally in Bread/David Gates, whose music doesn't hold up as well for me. I also discovered Tim Buckley around that time-- Goodbye and Hello being a particular fave. And Some Velvet Morning!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:05pm
Funky16Corners:

I like some bread (and I'm a big fan of David Gates and Jimmy Griffin's pre-Bread work) but I think Spheeris operated on a deeper level. Buckley I dig but in small doses.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:06pm
Brian in UK:

David Campbell's CV is impressive.
That high note at the end of I Am The Mercury gets me every time!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:07pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, two or three hours?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:08pm
Funky16Corners:

I really didn't know about Spheeris until a few years ago, but I keep running into people who are 5-10 years older than me who have loved his stuff since it came out.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:08pm
Funky16Corners:

Three hours!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:10pm
Brian in UK:

Yipee. It was so difficult to get his records over here, the same as many other lesser known American singers. You had to pay attention.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:10pm

Aha there is Satie. Nice! This is a songwriters master class.
Next five weeks, total lockdown over here.
We have "the wall of never happened" over here: -all canceled events of last year-. I'm worried about 2021... Had lasagne meanwhile...

I think we're headed there, at least through February. My wife is a teacher and her district is 100% remote until the end of January, and my sons are both remote (though it's only an option here)
