	10:07pm Uncle Michael: Guitar on this Sky Burrow Tales strikes me as Stills-like, for some reason.

	10:07pm Gaylord Fields: That cheers me so much, Jeff!
	10:07pm Chris Wardell: Hello, Jeff. Hope you’re well.

	10:08pm hairyhood: sup, all?
	10:08pm mariano: Hey Jeff, Ruth, Scott, everyone.
	10:08pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Chris Ward, phat, hairyhood (lol)
	10:09pm Jeff Conklin: And hey to Scott Williams at the controls....
	10:09pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, hi Jeff
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: Somewhere along the line Stephen lost confidence and buried his playing in horrid tone, but yeah.
	10:10pm spodiodi: hello, Jeff. sounds great. hi all
	10:11pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...I saw your Twitter thang about Montauk. I went there every summer for the first ten years of my life...Hither Hills, baby! Fires on beach, sleeping in a tent close enough to hear the surf at night. I'm assuming this is where you were as well?
	10:11pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, spodiodi, hello parubi
	10:12pm Jeff Conklin: @MRPumpy: Yup! Beautiful spot. For those not on Twitter, i did a thread explaining how i got into the Dead, part of the story was camping at the beach, a bonfire, and a girl in tie-dye...
	10:12pm bigplanetnoise: UM - it happened when he ditched the White Falcon or other hollowbodies he played for so very long and started wanking away on Telecasters and other planks that didn’t suit his style.
	10:13pm Saul Wright: What up, Jeff et al. I’ve been listening to that Jeff Silverstein album a lot this week. Great stuff.
	10:13pm Carmichael: Same old story, Jeff HA HA ... Music sounds good, I’m currently beering.
	10:13pm patrick321: Beautiful opener.
	10:14pm ParUbi: Much improved speaker situation here, boy what a difference
	10:14pm JakeGould: Montauk is really a great place.
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Good insight, Bob. You've paid closer attention and you're a guitar player.
	10:15pm Jeff Conklin: @ParUbi: Got some new ones? @Jake: Yeah, I havent been there in years, hope to again someday...
	10:15pm Chris Wardell: @Jeff. Just listened to their set from NOJF on this day in 1996 today. Oddly placed A Day In The Life into Bowie.
	10:16pm bigplanetnoise: UM - he always sounded unique, and only like himself. That all changed sometime in the 80’s. When he ditched his guitars of (previous) choice.
	10:16pm Chris Wardell: Prana Crafter is so good.
	10:16pm Jeff Conklin: @chris: Did I mention phish and not realize it? (my first show was in 96)
	10:16pm P-90: Hey JC
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Bob, I never saw him play till the early '90s and I was like wtf?
	10:18pm Jeff Conklin: Hey P-90
	10:19pm ParUbi: @Jeff-- Yes, now I can hear actual baselines
	10:19pm Chris Wardell: @Jeff - you said hey Chris Ward (it’s Wardell, but it’s ok), phat hairyhooded. I thought it was funny. My first show was MSU Auditorium East Lansing 1984
	10:19pm mariano: I remember years ago talking to this old timer who'd been around the Haight in the middle of the whole deal, had seen Janis and Hendrix and many others playing small venues. I asked him who his favorite guitarists were, and Stills was one of the guys he mentioned, which surprised me since (not knowing a lot about him) I thought of him more as a vocalist.
	10:20pm Jeff Conklin: I left off some letters to time's sake
	10:20pm Chris Wardell: Stills can shred
	10:20pm JakeGould: @mariano: Also, some artists are natural and great live… And others? Not so much.
	10:21pm Gina Bacon: Jeff and Mr. Pumpy...my family camped at Hither Hills a lot, too! There was a guy that would hook a PA up to his Volkswagon battery and we'd square dance! Such great memories of that place.
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: @Gina: Wow thats awesome. I was there summer of 93, lots of other 14 year olds. Was a great scene..
	10:22pm Dean: That "Stills can shred" comment reminded me of StSanders' hilarious "...shreds" videos. Never covered Stills, though.
	10:23pm bigplanetnoise: Al Kooper still ranks Stills as one of his most fave players. Not the least for saving the day in Supersession.
	10:23pm Carmichael: @mariano, Stills was and is a fantastic acoustic guitarist. If you just smack him in the head and tell him to play. Sorta like Zappa, who (rightfully, imo) had an album called Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar.
	10:23pm Jeff Conklin: Every time I listen to Supersession I wish they would put out a version without the horns (I still love it tho)
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: Stephen was a great live player. His stupid rejoinder to an audience member not withstanding, his 1974 (?) electric/acoustic live album bears that out.
	10:25pm mariano: Carmichael: Yeah, I loved those Zappa guitar albums. What an unmistakably distinct style he had. I'll have to explore Stills' guitar work more.
	10:27pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...just had some audio probs. Yeah man...Montauk, that part of it at least...is magic! Wow...what memories.
	10:28pm bigplanetnoise: Jeff - when I did the Supersession SACD reissue with Al, we included an alternate take of a cut (or was it two) that, naturally, did not have the OD’s.
	10:28pm Jeff Conklin: Audio probs? with this show?
	10:29pm P-90: Would’ve sworn I was already following Jeff on Twitter. Now am, and now I see that Jeff was apparently the guy who finally beat the Wiz...
	10:29pm Jeff Conklin: Oh, wow, didn't realize that Bob. I'd like to hear that. Now if we could get the promo mix of Blows Against the Empire out there...
	10:29pm Aitch: Alien probes
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: Blows...talk about underrated.
	10:30pm Rory: Hey Jeff, listeners!
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: I don't know about a promo mix. What's the story?
	10:31pm Rory: My cat hates me :(
	10:31pm JakeGould: Of course. You’ve been stuck at home and your cat is upset at the lack of freedom it has.
	10:31pm Rory: He’s like, why are you around so much!
	10:32pm Jeff Conklin: UM: www.discogs.com... I've compared the promo to the stock, its night and day...
	10:32pm hairyhood: Damn, my cat is loving the extra time w/ me. My wife is jealous (she's technically her cat).
	10:32pm Dean: https://www.discogs.com/Paul-Kantner-Jefferson-Starship-Blows-Against-The-Empire/release/4781582 "This version has a cleaner mix than the black vinyl stock version, on which the mix is very muddy. Instruments are clearly heard where they're buried in the mix on the stock copies."
	10:33pm hairyhood: never knew i was listening to that album in such low fidelity...
	10:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhhh I missed Prana Crafter! Damn stereo problems. I grabbed a few on vinyl this past year. New stuff...damn! I have to check that out.
	10:34pm Rory: My cat is an outside kitty. He does what he wants.
	10:34pm Carmichael: Beering even more. Will try to hang with you professionals.
	10:34pm Jeff Conklin: Ah yeah im cracking open a fresh seltzer...
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: thanks, Dean
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: @Gina Bacon...the square dances!!!! YES!
	10:35pm Dean: Blows was the JA record I most often checked out from the library.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I ate, I peed, and now I'm having coffee. What problem?
	10:36pm bigplanetnoise: It’s actually just a completely different mastering choice I believe, rather than an alternate mix. The mastering in the stock copy was completely cloudy, murky and dark. The promo had all the upper mids and top end left wide open.
	10:36pm Saul Wright: Rootless is the man.
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: welcome to the scarier machine!
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Noe I need to hear a needle drop of that blows promo.
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...no. I have a Bluetooth transmitter from my laptop into my stereo with an outboard BT receiver. I thought it was shot, but all good now. All good on your end.
	10:39pm Carmichael: I stood in Golden Gate Park in ‘69. Highly young, but a beaming smile. Many long and complex memories ago.
	10:43pm Dean: Well, come to think of it, that and Baxter's.
	10:43pm JakeGould: I just had my first real espresso in 5 weeks. That is a fun thing!
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Carmichael, I have a picture of me and my mom in Golden Gate Park in 1966. She is holding a pink paper parasol and I am wearing Jim Mcguinn granny glasses.
	10:44pm Rory: Actually, my cat loves me! He doesn’t always like to show it :)
	10:44pm Carmichael: My sister (10 years older and since passed) was pointing at a band to watch. My brother wearing a white button shirt with a fruit loop, a pack of Marlboros in the pocket. He didn’t smoke.
	10:45pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: Cool memory.
	10:45pm phat: this Ash and Herb is kicking my ass. love it.
	10:46pm MKT: Just now listening as I work on a paper model of NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft for kids to make at home... then I saw the name of this track. No wonder it seems so right...
	10:46pm Aitch: Probably not a Kiki & Herb side project I'm guessing
	10:46pm hairyhood: Yeah, this is sick
	10:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Good evening
	10:48pm Mr. Pumpy: @Gina Bacon...you have me thinking of those square dances deeply now! @Jeff...I went to Hither Hills from around '73 to '82.
	10:50pm Rory: Soothing jams, Jeff!
	10:53pm hairyhood: This Ash & Herb is from an not-yet-released album, right?
	10:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Dire Wolves...Yeah man!!!
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: @hairyhood: flowerroomrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:59pm hairyhood: much obliged
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm calling this a night. Goodnight Noises, Everywhere. Thanks, Jeff.
	11:02pm egould310: Damn, dude. I’m trying to write up a report section on cash handling procedures and cash reconciliations. Deposits and disbursements, etc. Instead, you’re blowing my mind with some live Dire Wolves. I had to get up and walk around because I was literally typing jibberish. You blew my mind. Thanks:-)
	11:02pm Jeff Conklin: UM hates the folky half of this show ive noticed...
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: @egould: I'm sorry but not really?
	11:03pm suzyhotrod: Hi Jeff! Great to hear your voice! Sounds great for a home recording.
	11:04pm Uncle Michael: No. I hate sitting up after 10:00 PM. I leave the music happening. Ahh...folk music!
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: Hey suzy! thanks!
	11:04pm Dean: Watch your language, UM.
	11:04pm mariano: 'Night Uncle Mike!
	11:05pm ParUbi: Good night the king of UM
	11:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm the UM king. Thanks, friends. Go folk yourselves!
	11:06pm Smokey: another Sunday night with the Avant Ghetto! always a pleasure Jeff
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: Wow, this player can play.
	11:07pm chresti: Folk you, Uncle Michael,,
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: (poof)
	11:09pm Rory: Love this track!
	11:10pm Jeff Conklin: Featuring the late, great Mike Wilhelm of the Charlatans and Flamin' Groovies
	11:10pm egould310: I’m not a regular listener to the show, but this is real nice. I put it on because I’m doing some work tonight (I never do work on weekends, except today). Always nice to get a new perspective. Greetings from cloudy, cool Seattle.
	11:11pm Jeff Conklin: Well, egould, maybe you should come back every Sunday...
	11:12pm Aaron: Playing some chess and enjoying the show here in Indy. Hope everyone’s feeling good
	11:12pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for a sweet show Jeff! Good night everyone! I think tomorrow may be Monday!
	11:13pm Jeff g. via app: Hardcore heads on the chat tonight. It’s like overhearing high-level shop talk. Sounding good, Jeff!
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Aaron, thanks, Jeff G!
	11:15pm mariano: 'Night Phillippe!
	11:18pm hairyhood: Nice, love Farm -- is this considered an album or an EP?
	11:19pm Jeff Conklin: pretty short for an LP and long for an EP hmmm
	11:19pm Franco Twinkie: I occasionally get out of my chair across the room to see who is unwinding like this, but then I fall down again.
	11:19pm ParUbi: Goodnight PB!
	11:19pm egould310: Will be back, Jeff.
	11:21pm Aaron: The rhythm of this farm track at the beginning reminded me a little of Tribal Grathing by the Byrds
	11:21pm Mr. Pumpy: I thought that was In Memory of Elizabeth Reed for a minute! Huzzah! It's Farm! This is one of my holy Grail vinyl wants. Farm sound like they were on Capricorn and hanging out with Captain Beyond, Killer stuff, Jeff.
	11:22pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: Just curious, but how is your dad doing? I assume fine.
	11:25pm goldie: i love this song
	11:26pm Jeff Conklin: @goldie: Same :)
	11:28pm Rory: I got the original lp of TABB from my dad.
	11:30pm Rory: And the live album.
	11:32pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jake...thanks for asking. Could be better. The problem is he should be getting therapy still, but everything is cut off, for obvious reasons. I don't really know how to gauge it. At times, I feel he is wasting away before my eyes and I should be more of a drill sergeant and put a program together for him. The other side of that coin is I live with him now, maybe staying home at my place one day a week (tonight!), and I'm glad to be there with him doing what I can to keep him safe and fed...and up on his meds. That's an honest answer, brother! Again, truly appreciated.
	11:33pm JakeGould: Well, all good!
	11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahh...the Allmans weren't far behind!
	11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: yup...
	11:35pm Dean: The one time I saw the Groovies, Wilhelm was in the band.
	11:39pm chresti: This Not the Same made me think of I Shall be Released.
	11:39pm ParUbi: The Mysterious Bronze Objects that Have Baffled Archaeologists for Centuries
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Endless Boogie?
	11:51pm Rory: Stay safe and don’t go crazy!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: I suppose like a lot of your older listeners, I am transported back to a time when bands that sounded like this last set were the rule not the exception. Long ago and far away, it seems.
	11:53pm Mr. Pumpy: That Farm record is crazy pricey.
	11:54pm chresti: The crazy part is the challenge.
	11:54pm Rory: @Franco - My dad saw The Stooges in April 1970 and said they sucked. People weren’t ready back then...
	11:55pm Rory: Thx Jeff!
	11:55pm spodiodi: thank you, Jeff, Scott, Ruth, Crew!
	11:55pm chresti: Rory, you're right.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Mike Wilhelm has a wonderful cameo in Last Days Of The Fillmore. It will have you in stitches, I guarantee!
	11:56pm Scott Williams: Great show Jeff, thanks! Very relaxed at master control tonight
	11:56pm Rory: Skeleton crew!!
	11:56pm Cavalier Record Store: There’s a documentary about the last days of the Fillmore. Wilheim was in Bill Graham’s office trying to get Loose Gravel on the lineup, and Graham wasn’t interested. Wilheim told him “Fuck your and thanks for the memories”. That didn’t go over well...
	11:56pm mariano: Thanks Jeff, thanks Ruth and Scott, take care everyone!
	11:57pm Bob O: Thanks Jeff!
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Jeff and crew! Thanks Scott y Ruth!
	11:57pm Cavalier Record Store: You beat me to it by a few seconds Franco!
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks for hanging everyone, stay safe out there...
	11:57pm Fuzzy: THanks Jeff and crew!
	11:57pm mb: Thanks Conklins
	11:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff...check out this (so far) one off album by Psicomagia if you haven't already. I think you may dig. Killer tunes featuring Brian Ellis among others. Thanks for the show! psicomagiamusic.bandcamp.com...
	11:58pm PMD: Love this fire and rain track
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...making the jump?
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: Rory, For sure! On a hot night in the summer of 1970 I saw The stooges on TV. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

	10:20pm Chris Wardell: Stills can shred
	10:20pm JakeGould: @mariano: Also, some artists are natural and great live… And others? Not so much.
	10:21pm Gina Bacon: Jeff and Mr. Pumpy...my family camped at Hither Hills a lot, too! There was a guy that would hook a PA up to his Volkswagon battery and we'd square dance! Such great memories of that place.
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: @Gina: Wow thats awesome. I was there summer of 93, lots of other 14 year olds. Was a great scene..
	10:22pm Dean: That "Stills can shred" comment reminded me of StSanders' hilarious "...shreds" videos. Never covered Stills, though.
	10:23pm bigplanetnoise: Al Kooper still ranks Stills as one of his most fave players. Not the least for saving the day in Supersession.
	10:23pm Carmichael: @mariano, Stills was and is a fantastic acoustic guitarist. If you just smack him in the head and tell him to play. Sorta like Zappa, who (rightfully, imo) had an album called Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar.
	10:23pm Jeff Conklin: Every time I listen to Supersession I wish they would put out a version without the horns (I still love it tho)
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: Stephen was a great live player. His stupid rejoinder to an audience member not withstanding, his 1974 (?) electric/acoustic live album bears that out.
	10:25pm mariano: Carmichael: Yeah, I loved those Zappa guitar albums. What an unmistakably distinct style he had. I'll have to explore Stills' guitar work more.
	10:27pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...just had some audio probs. Yeah man...Montauk, that part of it at least...is magic! Wow...what memories.
	10:28pm bigplanetnoise: Jeff - when I did the Supersession SACD reissue with Al, we included an alternate take of a cut (or was it two) that, naturally, did not have the OD’s.
	10:28pm Jeff Conklin: Audio probs? with this show?
	10:29pm P-90: Would’ve sworn I was already following Jeff on Twitter. Now am, and now I see that Jeff was apparently the guy who finally beat the Wiz...
	10:29pm Jeff Conklin: Oh, wow, didn't realize that Bob. I'd like to hear that. Now if we could get the promo mix of Blows Against the Empire out there...
	10:29pm Aitch: Alien probes
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: Blows...talk about underrated.
	10:30pm Rory: Hey Jeff, listeners!
	10:31pm Uncle Michael: I don't know about a promo mix. What's the story?
	10:31pm Rory: My cat hates me :(
	10:31pm JakeGould: Of course. You’ve been stuck at home and your cat is upset at the lack of freedom it has.
	10:31pm Rory: He’s like, why are you around so much!
	10:32pm Jeff Conklin: UM: www.discogs.com... I've compared the promo to the stock, its night and day...
	10:32pm hairyhood: Damn, my cat is loving the extra time w/ me. My wife is jealous (she's technically her cat).
	10:32pm Dean: https://www.discogs.com/Paul-Kantner-Jefferson-Starship-Blows-Against-The-Empire/release/4781582 "This version has a cleaner mix than the black vinyl stock version, on which the mix is very muddy. Instruments are clearly heard where they're buried in the mix on the stock copies."
	10:33pm hairyhood: never knew i was listening to that album in such low fidelity...
	10:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhhh I missed Prana Crafter! Damn stereo problems. I grabbed a few on vinyl this past year. New stuff...damn! I have to check that out.
	10:34pm Rory: My cat is an outside kitty. He does what he wants.
	10:34pm Carmichael: Beering even more. Will try to hang with you professionals.
	10:34pm Jeff Conklin: Ah yeah im cracking open a fresh seltzer...
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: thanks, Dean
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: @Gina Bacon...the square dances!!!! YES!
	10:35pm Dean: Blows was the JA record I most often checked out from the library.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I ate, I peed, and now I'm having coffee. What problem?
	10:36pm bigplanetnoise: It’s actually just a completely different mastering choice I believe, rather than an alternate mix. The mastering in the stock copy was completely cloudy, murky and dark. The promo had all the upper mids and top end left wide open.
	10:36pm Saul Wright: Rootless is the man.
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: welcome to the scarier machine!
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Noe I need to hear a needle drop of that blows promo.
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...no. I have a Bluetooth transmitter from my laptop into my stereo with an outboard BT receiver. I thought it was shot, but all good now. All good on your end.
	10:39pm Carmichael: I stood in Golden Gate Park in ‘69. Highly young, but a beaming smile. Many long and complex memories ago.
	10:43pm Dean: Well, come to think of it, that and Baxter's.
	10:43pm JakeGould: I just had my first real espresso in 5 weeks. That is a fun thing!
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Carmichael, I have a picture of me and my mom in Golden Gate Park in 1966. She is holding a pink paper parasol and I am wearing Jim Mcguinn granny glasses.
	10:44pm Rory: Actually, my cat loves me! He doesn’t always like to show it :)
	10:44pm Carmichael: My sister (10 years older and since passed) was pointing at a band to watch. My brother wearing a white button shirt with a fruit loop, a pack of Marlboros in the pocket. He didn’t smoke.
	10:45pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: Cool memory.
	10:45pm phat: this Ash and Herb is kicking my ass. love it.
	10:46pm MKT: Just now listening as I work on a paper model of NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft for kids to make at home... then I saw the name of this track. No wonder it seems so right...
	10:46pm Aitch: Probably not a Kiki & Herb side project I'm guessing
	10:46pm hairyhood: Yeah, this is sick
	10:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Good evening
	10:48pm Mr. Pumpy: @Gina Bacon...you have me thinking of those square dances deeply now! @Jeff...I went to Hither Hills from around '73 to '82.
	10:50pm Rory: Soothing jams, Jeff!
	10:53pm hairyhood: This Ash & Herb is from an not-yet-released album, right?
	10:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Dire Wolves...Yeah man!!!
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: @hairyhood: flowerroomrecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:59pm hairyhood: much obliged
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm calling this a night. Goodnight Noises, Everywhere. Thanks, Jeff.
	11:02pm egould310: Damn, dude. I’m trying to write up a report section on cash handling procedures and cash reconciliations. Deposits and disbursements, etc. Instead, you’re blowing my mind with some live Dire Wolves. I had to get up and walk around because I was literally typing jibberish. You blew my mind. Thanks:-)
	11:02pm Jeff Conklin: UM hates the folky half of this show ive noticed...
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: @egould: I'm sorry but not really?
	11:03pm suzyhotrod: Hi Jeff! Great to hear your voice! Sounds great for a home recording.
	11:04pm Uncle Michael: No. I hate sitting up after 10:00 PM. I leave the music happening. Ahh...folk music!
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: Hey suzy! thanks!
	11:04pm Dean: Watch your language, UM.
	11:04pm mariano: 'Night Uncle Mike!
	11:05pm ParUbi: Good night the king of UM
	11:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm the UM king. Thanks, friends. Go folk yourselves!
	11:06pm Smokey: another Sunday night with the Avant Ghetto! always a pleasure Jeff
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: Wow, this player can play.
	11:07pm chresti: Folk you, Uncle Michael,,
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: (poof)
	11:09pm Rory: Love this track!
	11:10pm Jeff Conklin: Featuring the late, great Mike Wilhelm of the Charlatans and Flamin' Groovies
	11:10pm egould310: I’m not a regular listener to the show, but this is real nice. I put it on because I’m doing some work tonight (I never do work on weekends, except today). Always nice to get a new perspective. Greetings from cloudy, cool Seattle.
	11:11pm Jeff Conklin: Well, egould, maybe you should come back every Sunday...
	11:12pm Aaron: Playing some chess and enjoying the show here in Indy. Hope everyone’s feeling good
	11:12pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for a sweet show Jeff! Good night everyone! I think tomorrow may be Monday!
	11:13pm Jeff g. via app: Hardcore heads on the chat tonight. It’s like overhearing high-level shop talk. Sounding good, Jeff!
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Aaron, thanks, Jeff G!
	11:15pm mariano: 'Night Phillippe!
	11:18pm hairyhood: Nice, love Farm -- is this considered an album or an EP?
	11:19pm Jeff Conklin: pretty short for an LP and long for an EP hmmm
	11:19pm Franco Twinkie: I occasionally get out of my chair across the room to see who is unwinding like this, but then I fall down again.
	11:19pm ParUbi: Goodnight PB!
	11:19pm egould310: Will be back, Jeff.
	11:21pm Aaron: The rhythm of this farm track at the beginning reminded me a little of Tribal Grathing by the Byrds
	11:21pm Mr. Pumpy: I thought that was In Memory of Elizabeth Reed for a minute! Huzzah! It's Farm! This is one of my holy Grail vinyl wants. Farm sound like they were on Capricorn and hanging out with Captain Beyond, Killer stuff, Jeff.
	11:22pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: Just curious, but how is your dad doing? I assume fine.
	11:25pm goldie: i love this song
	11:26pm Jeff Conklin: @goldie: Same :)
	11:28pm Rory: I got the original lp of TABB from my dad.
	11:30pm Rory: And the live album.
	11:32pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jake...thanks for asking. Could be better. The problem is he should be getting therapy still, but everything is cut off, for obvious reasons. I don't really know how to gauge it. At times, I feel he is wasting away before my eyes and I should be more of a drill sergeant and put a program together for him. The other side of that coin is I live with him now, maybe staying home at my place one day a week (tonight!), and I'm glad to be there with him doing what I can to keep him safe and fed...and up on his meds. That's an honest answer, brother! Again, truly appreciated.
	11:33pm JakeGould: Well, all good!
	11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahh...the Allmans weren't far behind!
	11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: yup...
	11:35pm Dean: The one time I saw the Groovies, Wilhelm was in the band.
	11:39pm chresti: This Not the Same made me think of I Shall be Released.
	11:39pm ParUbi: The Mysterious Bronze Objects that Have Baffled Archaeologists for Centuries
	11:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Endless Boogie?
	11:51pm Rory: Stay safe and don’t go crazy!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: I suppose like a lot of your older listeners, I am transported back to a time when bands that sounded like this last set were the rule not the exception. Long ago and far away, it seems.
	11:53pm Mr. Pumpy: That Farm record is crazy pricey.
	11:54pm chresti: The crazy part is the challenge.
	11:54pm Rory: @Franco - My dad saw The Stooges in April 1970 and said they sucked. People weren’t ready back then...
	11:55pm Rory: Thx Jeff!
	11:55pm spodiodi: thank you, Jeff, Scott, Ruth, Crew!
	11:55pm chresti: Rory, you're right.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Mike Wilhelm has a wonderful cameo in Last Days Of The Fillmore. It will have you in stitches, I guarantee!
	11:56pm Scott Williams: Great show Jeff, thanks! Very relaxed at master control tonight
	11:56pm Rory: Skeleton crew!!
	11:56pm Cavalier Record Store: There’s a documentary about the last days of the Fillmore. Wilheim was in Bill Graham’s office trying to get Loose Gravel on the lineup, and Graham wasn’t interested. Wilheim told him “Fuck your and thanks for the memories”. That didn’t go over well...
	11:56pm mariano: Thanks Jeff, thanks Ruth and Scott, take care everyone!
	11:57pm Bob O: Thanks Jeff!
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Jeff and crew! Thanks Scott y Ruth!
	11:57pm Cavalier Record Store: You beat me to it by a few seconds Franco!
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks for hanging everyone, stay safe out there...
	11:57pm Fuzzy: THanks Jeff and crew!
	11:57pm mb: Thanks Conklins
	11:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff...check out this (so far) one off album by Psicomagia if you haven't already. I think you may dig. Killer tunes featuring Brian Ellis among others. Thanks for the show! psicomagiamusic.bandcamp.com...
	11:58pm PMD: Love this fire and rain track
	11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...making the jump?
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: Rory, For sure! On a hot night in the summer of 1970 I saw The stooges on TV. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.
