Yay!
Commie Francis (host) 8:43:52 PM

Richard of Rocky Hill 8:49:05 PM
@ Commie Francis (host) Fascinating theme tonight! Think of how many vibrant popular music genres ~ blues, doo wop, country, folk ~ are often structured around basic common chord progressions but end up having true variety.
Alex Crowe 9:02:25 PM
Hey Commie Francis and uneasy listeners!
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:03:09 PM
Hi Alex, glad to hear you Crowe!
Alex Crowe 9:06:35 PM
@ Richard Ha! @ CF Sliced Tomatoes progression, yay!

John Coffey 9:19:09 PM
Hi Commie, I used to record so many shows to cassette years ago. 5 years ago I used Audio Hijack to record stream of a local Philly broadcast of Woodstock. Worked out well and I didn't have to change out cassette tapes every 45 minutes.
Commie Francis (host) 9:20:50 PM
it's handy! i have a setup to record my show at home but well my husband bill used to start it for me. and i forgot to start it before i left today
Chris Mohr 9:23:10 PM
And this is a Can cover, yes?
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:23:17 PM
Oh yes! "She Brings the Rain" with the refrain riff from I'm "Not Your Steppin' Stone"
Commie Francis (host) 9:28:15 PM
yep!

Commie Francis (host) 9:40:22 PM

Commie Francis (host) 9:40:34 PM

Commie Francis (host) 9:40:39 PM

Chris Mohr 9:48:15 PM
