3:05pm Harold Fridkis:

Last night's blackhole bandstand on SiriusXM was a blast! Just tuning in to the teenage wasteland now!

3:08pm Harold Fridkis:

Keep on rockin',bill!

3:11pm Al:

John Hawken was also in the original lineup of Renaissance.

3:11pm John from Florham Park:

Hello fellow teen listeners

3:17pm Sid:

Hi teens! Welcome to our weekly two hours of arrested development. Sounds so good!

♥ 3:32pm fred:

Teens? Is anyone listening to this show under 60? I guess 70 is the new teens

3:34pm John from Florham Park:

@fred 55 double nickel

♥ 3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yup. SpeedLimit.

3:38pm C’villeBrian:

Rrrreal rock n’ roll.

3:39pm John from Florham Park:

@revolution depending on where you drive

3:42pm Al:

That Ron Dante record is new? Sounded like Sunshine Pop from the '60's or '70's.

3:43pm Sid:

Not 60 here just yet. Hell, the host is under 70. For a few months anyway. Teen is definitely a state of mind......

3:46pm Sid:

Ernie K. Doe answer rekkid.

♥ 3:59pm Paul from Toronto:

54, here.

3:59pm Spankyflop:

I've still got ~8 years till 60

4:00pm Sid:

Plastic Section is apparently a mechanical/chemical engineering term: A plastic section modulus is a geometric property for a cross section of an object generally used in materials in which plastic behavior can be observed. Haven't had a chance to use that term since college. Those smart Aussies.

4:02pm Al:

I'm in my 60's but younger than Mr. Kelly.

4:02pm Beast of Boonton:

Dick Dale passed away this week

4:06pm Beast of Boonton:

@Sid - 'modulus of elasticity' is what you were taught

4:10pm SHAKIN885:

Harmonica Lewinski!!!

4:10pm Sid:

Beast, that's right. I'm an EE, so the structural stuff is peripheral knowledge for me. But is that what the Aussie band is referring to or is it slang for a.... tool of some sort, or something? I dunno.

♥ 4:11pm dale:

my wife said 'harmonica lewinsky? that's my friend ed repard's band!!'

♥ 4:11pm dale:

...she was in a little band with him called 'god's pajamas'

4:14pm Sid:

...and one would think there's only one Harmonica Lewinsky. Maybe the Paula Trombones? The Tijuanita Broaddrick Brass?

4:15pm Al:

John Hawken and Jim McCarty were bandmates in the original lineup of Renaissance, along with late Yardbird Keith Relf. This was before Annie Haslam was in the band.

♥ 4:15pm fred:

I apologize for my earlier comment. I was wrong and out of place. Sorry

♥ 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Uh-oh fred!...does this garage have a naughtystep??...

♥ 4:18pm dale:

al - i have those albums, when they were called renaissance and then when they changed the name to illusion. some good moments. but keith's sister jane joined as vocalist and i thought her voice was horrible. none of the players from the second iteration were in the first.

4:19pm Sid:

Not at all, fred. All observations welcome. Though I'm pretty sure politics will get you in the hotseat.

4:19pm Al:

@Dale - I don't think the second one was ever released in the US.

♥ 4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I Vote against the fredXit.

4:22pm Sid:

If I remember correctly, Hawken recruited John Camp and other members of Renaissance II before playing with Illusion and then Strawbs. I see from allmusic that Hawken played piano on Meet The Smithereens!

4:22pm Al:

Hawken is a fabulous keyboard player.

4:23pm Sid:

Frexit! Good Lord, that escalated quickly. :)

4:23pm John from Florham Park:

@Sid around the presidential election this is going to be my refuge from the insanity

♥ 4:23pm dale:

i might have gotten the illusion albums as canadian imports from a buffalo ny shop called record theater.

4:24pm John from Florham Park:

Afternoon dale

4:24pm Sid:

John, yeah. Just stay away from Todd's show.

4:26pm John from Florham Park:

@Sid why should I stay away from Todd’s show?

♥ 4:27pm fred:

@RRN63: I'm not going anywhere, I'll just try to think before saying something stupid. Tall order, I know

4:27pm Sid:

I got the second Renaissance I LP, Illusion, as an import (at Princeton Record Exchange). I think the first domestic release was CD.

4:28pm Sid:

John, Todd tends to get political around election time. Apparently he can't help himself. Great show the rest of the year.

4:28pm John from Florham Park:

@Fred we all say something stupid on here, as long as you don’t act like a troll I have no problem with you

4:29pm ?:

"Yod Crewzy and The Fixers" band name in the novel ENDERBY by Anthony Burgess 1963!

4:30pm John from Florham Park:

@Sid gotcha if Todd dies will just turn his show off and wait until the next show not going to be upset about it

♥ 4:31pm dale:

gary lewis and the playboys did his too i think.

4:31pm Sid:

I don't think there was anything wrong with the age comment at all. From my male point of view, anyway.

♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

In FreeForm - expect probly anything but Moderates...

4:32pm Al:

A few weeks ago a big topic was ringing in the ears!

4:33pm Sid:

Tinnitus. Still hear. I mean 'here'. A true variety chat box.

♥ 4:35pm fred:

@John from Florham Park: I'm already banned from Todd's show, so it's not like I was blameless there

4:36pm Mailman Tom:

I saw Renaissance perform at the Fillmore East back in February 1970. They opened for Savoy Brown and the Voices of East Harlem.

4:36pm Sid:

Yikes. How do you get banned from a show?

4:37pm John from Florham Park:

@Fred how can anyone ban you from their show? Not being a smartass jut wondering

4:39pm Sid:

Tatoo Covered Hag? I feel like I have to stand up now for some reason.....

♥ 4:40pm fred:

@Sid: Being a dumb asshole does that
@John: It's not an official ban, just shame, enforced if I show up, so I'd rather not. I earned it

4:41pm John from Florham Park:

@fred you would rather not start a chat war with TOPT I understand completely

4:43pm John from Florham Park:

GO YANKEES

4:43pm Sid:

Fred, you could always change your screen name for Todd's show. An alter-ego clandestine screen presence. "Frank" maybe.

4:44pm John from Florham Park:

@SId that’s an idea

♥ 4:44pm dale:

kings and queens by renaissance is good and this vid is great

www.youtube.com...

4:47pm Sid:

How was Renaissance I, Tom? I've been fortunate enough to see Renaissance II several times (once at Radio City). And when I lived near Philly, Annie & several iterations of Renaissance played frequently as she lives in New Hope PA.

♥ 4:49pm fred:

@Sid: Nah, I earned it, so I'll have to own up to it. I draw the line where his fans hassle me on other shows though. It's been like four years already

4:50pm Sid:

Fred, 4 years is way past the statute of limitations for a message board offense. It's in the official internet rule book! :)

4:51pm John from Florham Park:

@fred have not seen anyone hassle you on shows at all

4:52pm John from Florham Park:

@Sid I agree

4:53pm kev:

Nightcrawlers!!!

4:53pm John from Florham Park:

@fred there is wake and bake they are a pretty friendly bunch on there

4:54pm Mailman Tom:

Sid: I went there to see Savoy Brown and Renaissance happened to be on the bill. Renaissance was okay, but not my cup of tea.

♥ 4:56pm dale:

rennaisance with annie was my first 'real' concert in 75. her in a sheer long white gown with a spotlight low behind her was the stuff of wet dreams.

4:59pm kev:

Music Machine!!!

♥ 5:00pm fred:

@John from Florham Park: It's rare, and I leave when it happens. I did contact a DJ about it once. But, again, I'm the one to blame there. I didn't have to be an asshole in the first place. Todd's crew has a point

5:01pm Al:

Great show Bill. Thanks!
