Hey hey hey

hey, TAndy

‘The Stars and Stripes 🇺🇸 Forever’ ❤️🤍💙

good morning. sousa would be proud.

Haaayyyy

Good morning everyone! Quietly listening as I can here

Ahoy there MrM, mornin Dale and Rob.

Dave, with how hot it is you could totally distort an old record and use that as the bed music

i left my copy of harmonium's l'heptade in my car on a hot summer day. was years before i found another copy.

TAllyH0, TAndy! ☮️

American Artists ❤️🤍💙

good morning, Dale

I forgot that this time of year brings Zappa into the playlist! Nice

Good morning, quiet Rob from MD

Zappa is always welcome in the playlist - when he isn't vulgar

@ Dale, another reason I dislike vinyl records

Just cover each curse word with a custom censor sound! (Unlistenable)

Remember the car-turntables, so we can listen to records in the car? NO! Because records are an inconvenient and obsolete technology

Very enjoyable start to the show! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure!

thanks, MrM! Loads of west side artists today. Right now, smatter fact

I’m noticing! I’ll add a one time WESTSIIIDDDEEE❣️ to show support! 💟

Represent! 🖖🏻

Please don't tell me car turntables were a real thing LOL

And thus the close and play record player was born TAndy! :)

Good morning!

Could you imagine? Only operable when the car is motionless, and between 35 and 65 degrees

Make red lights more tolerable at least.

Zappa did not like "Zappa in NY: I saw him at the Spectrum right after that came out and he was not holding back about it.

yeah, Zappa had a big beef with the Warner Bros record label

An exceedingly rare good morning to you Roffle!

He devoted "The Norcher Never Stops" to them at one show.

Yea, I drift in and out of the morning thing TA. It's 92 in my apartment waiting on a service order for my A/C! Not gonna be a fun day if I don't get out of here. lol

Get electrolytes in you, Rofflestomp!

Yeah don't dehydrate like I did this week, not a fun feeling lol

On it for sure. I have like 10 bottles of water in the freezer. :)

Get electrolytes like in Gatorade or naturally occurring in watermelon.

Who can afford watermelon?!? lol

But that sounds like a good plan. I still have two nickles somewhere.

Well drink more water to avoid dehydration. Severe dehydration is only fixed in hospital. Afford that!

I'ma bury my head in the sand. Can't hear nothin but it keeps my head cool!

Nope, can't hear a thing!

I’ve been driving around with no AC in the car… hot wind and high volumes be my guides

VA got my back there •ᎷяM , but not a ride I wanna take for sure.

good morning, Guelo. Try to minimize exposure to this extreme heat

Chop the roof off for a convertible, Guelo!

@Guelo, Open window desert driving is the best. But"it's a "dry heat". lol

This air that you wear thing is brutal.

Yeah I was sweating buckets… but I got the beach and it it’s a LITTLE cooler here

THis reminds me of steps ahead

Have fun at the shore man!

Perfect shore day.

If you say so, shore I will then

Thank you for your Service, Rofflestomp‼️. Happy Days to You! 🇺🇸❣️

This is such a jam oh my goodness

that's why they call 'em jam bands

🚨🚨🚨🚨

oh no theyre blasting flag music at work

How dare they play their music louder than me!

Good morning Dave, all others, and happy 3rd, 250th Eve I suppose.

good morning, dan C

I just mentioned this band to my bro’ yesterday. He’d never heard of them.

where has he been living?

Very odd thing yesterday. I heard From The Beginning, ELP, with a completely different synth solo. Outtake I guess.

Small south central IL town, pop. 7000

Didn’t the guitarist join late Deep Purple?

Mornin Dan!

So I WAS going to pack up and head to my car early, but I ain't gonna interrupt my listening to THIS.

‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

All Rise 🇺🇸

Dave, did you ever see the cover of Guitar Player magazine, close up of Zappa holding his burned up in performance Hendrix Strat? Gorgeous guitar.

Never saw

I did not think Zappa ever destroyed his instruments

He owned one of Jimi’s.

Ah, I see

I also did not think Zappa thought much of Hendrix - mocked his fans in one song

Wish I’d saved that cover. ‘80’s I think.

Yeah I’m surprised to hear that he had one of his guitars

Thought very little of flower power hippies. Like Tarantino in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Wow, January ‘77 GP cover, see it online.

Talk about iconic image.

Amazing pic truly. Guitar looks better then ever haha

Right?!?

I saw Jaco set his Fender bass on the stage, and whip it with his belt, during his Weather Report solo. Park West, small venue Chicago.

Jaco had some issues

Yep, sad end as well.

That’s a great move for a solo I must say… gotta try that

The arc of Weather Report is something in itself.

Athens Indie as Twin Cities, Seattle, Austin.

Was watching a live vid of them with Alphonso Johnson on bass… was really great to hear the rest of the band above a different bass identity/mood

Very talented for sure. Any chance for a RIP, tribute track to David Clayton Thomas? I realize it’s outside TNA scope.

sorry, dan, no plans

Terrific picks as always D

thanks

When I step outside, today I wish I was a plant or an insect, it’s that hot, humid.

Bluegrass here is a first for me D.

World Music I guess, vast category.

I mix in bluegrass occasionally

ALISON KRAUSS ❤️🤍💙

& UNION STATION ❤️🤍💙

Can’t say I’ve ever heard a harmonica in this spot.

that might be true, dan

Bela Flek you’ve played I do believe. He’s out there!

I have. Just last week I think, from the same CD

Ampersand Set❣️

Crush on Alison since the first time I saw her. Like many I’m certain. What a talent!

for sure

had to run out to do a little yardwork while it was 'cool.' glad i didn't miss the bluegrass set. i'm a'grinnin.'

😁

good observation, MrM

Love their Man of Constant Sorrow rendition.

Dan Tyminski has a great voice

Douglas Barenberg & Meyer album is great all the way through. Can't believe it's not a law firm! First heard this one, Monkey Bay, on DJ Gene Shay's folk shows on 2 Philly stations back in the 90s. He loved this album. Big Sciota from this one is great too. And From Ankara to Izmir (Jerry Douglas piece that Dave has played before. Jerry still does it in his shows).

I thought I might lure you to the chat today, Brain D

AK&US album ranking would be intriguing.

Edgar Meyer…monster double bass. My goodness.

Woah, a song with lyrics that aren't in French? Such a rarity on The New Abnormal!

a valid point, TAndy

Shocking

you know I got problems with lyrics

Lester Scruggs with Waa Waa pedal to follow

Good season of outdoor Bluegrass shows at the Tileworks in Doylestown, PA just started last Sunday with fiddler Jason Carter and 2 other bands. Just before the heat too - great breezy cloudy day in the 70s F. Great time. Final Sundays of the month every June, July and September. Jerry Douglas played a few years back. Tiny intimate setting, bring a chair, picnic n dranks or food trucks / drinks on sale. Good times.

sounds fantastic

Guud Stuffs 📻🎼❤️🎵🤍🎶💙🇺🇸

I wonder if he went to Michigan State U., like my Son?

THIS❣️

blistering. as good as any jazz fusion

Banjo players plugging into the Dunlop script logo Phaser stompbox guitar pedal is definitely a thing. Been going on since the 70s. Pete "Dr Banjo" Wernick of the band Hot Rize loves to break out that pedal sometimes. Pete has a crazy harrowing story about surviving a plane crash with his family and STILL making a gig in NY state. Had to he said. Helped deal with the tragic event to just play as planned. Cuts on his head and played on...

I have the urge to rob a bank, just to getaway to this

Back in the moonshine zone...

Blinded by one sip

Ricky Skaggs carries the torch of his former bandleader Mr Monroe very well. So glad Ricky came back to Bluegrass world after a spell in 80s country. Always has great band. Marty Stuart too similar story.

My Wild Turkey 101 will have to do.

No we’re an American band grand funk…but stranger things have occurred

Oh BOY

Red, White, and that sickly yellow in Backrooms movie…

@Dan C, My girlfriend brought home a bottle of Ethanol from the lab, she had no idea you could drink that legal moonshine, without the impurities and blindness. I still have it under the sink for cleaning lenses.

Subtle

Love it Roff

That cover looks like a Bosch painting detail

true, dan. Bosch was a visionary

ChakraKhan, ChakraKhan

I feel for you

that’s outstanding 💟

Excellent Selections! ❤️🤍💙❣️🇺🇸

💜 thanks, MrM

Awwww Hellz Yeeaah!

Run from your wives!!!

What a Super F’n Wonderful SHOW!!

too late - wives already ran away

:0 wow I haven't thought of cheer accident in a WHILE. So nutty even for this show!

Fun loving Zappa, Zorn…right

Their loss

Frank would have loved the LEGO Strat, in 5 colors. The headstock especially. LEGO non curves make everything cubist.

this whole world's wild at heart and weird on top

and maybe a little ugly on the side

🤣

to each their own 🙃

I saw the 10 story tall baseball bat in Louisville, just driving through…wood, not aluminum.

the biggest slugger

THE MARS VOLTA ♥️🤍💙

west side again

Big EXCITE!

They know how to do it over thure!!

Represent! 🖤💀

My bad, 120 foot, made of hollow carbon steel. “Big Bat”.

shame. They ought to have found a big tree to carve

oh, the Absolute SHAME!

It doubles as a air shaft.

AT THE DRIVE-IN album Relationship of Command is an All-Time Favourite 🖤💀 have you checked it out, DJ DaveTheObscure⁉️💟

Most difficult

GINORMOUS thanks for the show today Dave! Most excellent!

DJ DaveTheObscure 💟 TopTier Celebration of America 250❣️ 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 Many thanks & kind regards to you Sir! Enjoy the Holiday! 🖤💀🎩🇺🇸

Good one ǝʌɐꓷ! Big fan of Fleck and Douglas. Did not expect that here. Thanks!

Try not to blow off a finger

Sounds like a Andy Rooney quote

thanks for the tip, MrM, I will check it

Well, maybe Fleck here is not off.

thanks for keeping me company in the chat, folks. stay cool and hydrated

Would Weird Al even exist without Frank? I think not.

Or weird alice cooper. :)
