hello Dave, MrM and Bud
Stevie P 10:05:41 AM
I missed the new abnormal, but here I am
David Shortell 10:05:53 AM
I've never heard this. Are there any other non-album tracks by this lineup of the Bluesbreakers?
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:06:35 AM
hey, stevie p, welcome
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:07:04 AM
@ David S., I really do not know
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:08:56 AM
maybe side B of the single?
David Shortell 10:15:11 AM
Yes. The flip, "Bernard Jenkins", was also not on the LP. I see Sundazed reissued that 1966 single on Record Store Day 2011.
G Jax 10:21:43 AM
Never like this version of after midnight like as much as his first version. But here now it sounds pretty good to me. Another good thing about this version is a Bobby gave another round of royalties to JJ Cale, who always seem to be an immensely decent fella.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:22:58 AM
Yes, JJ Cale an under appreciated songwriter. I have a cover of his Thirteen Days coming up just before 11

Rob F 10:30:36 AM
I like this even before the guitar
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:34:15 AM
yeah, decent keyboards
Rob F 10:34:31 AM
I just got a commercial in the middle of the song on my stream. Quite rare, usually only when I start it
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:35:01 AM
i did not know that could be a thing. quite rude
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:35:12 AM
but not surprising
Rob F 10:36:00 AM
Yeah, I hope that doesn't become more common
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:36:35 AM
you know it will
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:37:09 AM
did you see the recent Black Mirror episode about the brain implants?
Rob F 10:38:04 AM
No, but i've been thinking of watching that some. I've only seen a couple episodes
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:38:58 AM
it's the way all things seem to go. Remember when we paid for cable TV and it was commercial free?
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:39:11 AM
now we pay and get commercials anyway
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:40:56 AM
the only free cheese is in a mousetrap
Rob F 10:42:13 AM
Agreed, was telling my son, we used to buy a computer program once, now we can only get a subscription to it
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:42:25 AM
xactly
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:44:00 AM
See Blackmirror Season 7, Episode 1 "Common People"
Rob F 10:44:43 AM
Thanks, I'll check it out
Rob F 10:48:08 AM
Did you watch the Rick Beato with Derek Trucks?
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:48:18 AM
yes I did
Bud Burroughs 10:50:40 AM
I fully expected your blues set to include Derek Trucks!
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:51:31 AM
it won't be the last time, Bud. It shows the thinness of my blues collection
Bud Burroughs 10:52:02 AM
And your well-deserved appreciation for Trucks...
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 10:52:21 AM
he's the GOAT
Rob F 11:01:53 AM
Dave, are you doing any interesting music research?
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 11:02:12 AM

ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 11:04:56 AM
i'm just generally searching for interesting music for the show
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 11:13:28 AM
