A beautiful Saturday afternoon to ya Wal!

Hey hey RBBQ!!

It's nice out there now

Just to a short walk. Fantastic!!

*took

I should do the same...but I'm stuck here for 2 more hours, haha!

You could do the whole show standing, walking back and forth in your cell, er studio.

Ha! I've done the whole show standing up before. Some DJs like it that way, but I'd prefer to be seated.

As a drummer, of course!

Unless I'm in the Stray Cats or Violent Femmes

Happy You' Near, Wal 'n Robb!

Hey ya Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RJF RJF!

Fire up da Q Robb!

I trust you both had a nice Christmas.

Yeah. Almost at '24. I like even-numbered years for some reason.

It was mellow over here.

Let's hope for more sanity and stability in the new year!

Amen Brother!

You will not find sanity or stability listening to me on the radio!

...a little joyful kaos can brighten up a dreary day!

If only we were KAOS instead of KSPC, haha!

Ha! I didn't know but there actually is a college radio station called KAOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAOS_(FM)

In that case, I'm perfectly fine being KSPC!

Hi Wal! Great song!

Hi Blouie! Thank you! Welcome in!!

Hey, thanks!

Say, can I make a request?

Of course, attempt the request. I'll see if I can make it happen.

Great call sign!

okay. Can you do Billy Childs Leimert Park, from the Acceptance album?

Hello everyone!

Hey Rob!

All 'Trane, all the time!

Like the C tree Rob!

Yo RMD!

Hi Jeff & Robb! & thx JF

Hey Blouie!

hey, RobbBQ!

Wal - would (Bill) Chase's "Open up Wide" qualify for BD&R? Great trumpet blowing for Jeff.

G'd Afternoon Blouie, good to see you in the afternoon!

Thnx RoBBQ!

Blouie, I don't know if we have that album here. RBBQ, same -- I'll have to check!

Slammin' cover of Straight No Chaser, digg'n the krazy piano particularly!

Gonna get a little more crazy on the piano with the next one

Last week I was trying to remember what song Milt Jackson's "Gemini" brought to mind. It took a little while for the squirrels in my mind to get up to speed but I finally got it, it was Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments", love that song!

Did I just hear (the audience) growling? ;-)

RMD RMD!!

Hi Wal!

Okay Wal.

Hi Blouie!

Sorry, no Childs & no Chase here.

Crazy meter changes - as foretold Wal!

No worries Wal. Are they on the "banned" list? 😉

I don't even know where that list is, anymore. If it even exists?

Not critical - more of snide joke

WE LOVE YOU MITSKI!!!

Greetings Rinda!!

Hi everyone!!

RDA RDA!!

Hi Robb BQ

Howdy Rinda!

Hey Y'all - do yo know who Jerry Moss was?

Hi JF🇺🇸SA !!>>>>>:)

Moss was a record mogul? He teamed with Herb Albert to form Moss-Albert Records?

Yeah, Herb Alpert's partner, did he pass?

Yeah -earlier this year and they had a memorial for him last week I guess- a buddy of mine went and is texting me pix...super jealous

Was he the M in A&M?

Hi Rinda

Hi Rob!! Hows things out east??

yes

Right Wal

I've been to the A&M recording studios back in the late 1990s. Great place!

Wal, yes he was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A&M_Records

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson_Company_Lot

Rinda, things are going well. How are things in the west?

All right, y'all, I'm gonna have to do a "this is only a test" emergency alert test thing after this song, so if we go silent on the stream, you'll know why.

Its a great winter here Rob- lots of cool weather and periodic dampness

does it have vocals??

Wow Rob, that's a very complex history!

HEY !! It better not and NO emergency test signal ballads please!!

RDA, I'll be experiencing Redlands this weekend. I have to make a quick stop to drop something off out that way.

Haha!

Nice, Rinda. Here we've been having warm days, cold days, normal days. We might possibly see snow in the coming 10 days (I hope not though)

I have not voluntarily set foot in snow in ages

Robb, I found a guy with a lot of YouTube posts who, among other things, does a short 'four mallet' vibe piece that made me think of you, thought I'd pass it along - Super Mario Bros on Marimba (with 4 Mallets) by Aaron Grooves https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7QC6Bl_7E

Enjoy your visit Wal! If you have time- Rui Shanghai Bistro is great

Nice find JF🇺🇸SA !!

Hi Rob!

I once toured a really nice old house in Redlands. I think it belonged to ... I can't remember now, but some family that owned some kind of major business. Ugh, I'm gonna have to look that one up.

JF, you're right, it is complex/complicated

Oh, I can hear the announcement of the test, but I can

...web silence...

*not hear the actual test

And now I can hear Wal!

Maybe Wal is the test,Ha!

Thanks Jeff! I'll need to check it out. Here's the live version of Open Up Wide by Chase that makes me think of you Jeff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBogxn5ObgA

Aw, okay. I guess no Billy Childs then. Gosh, something needs to be done about this fast!

A REAL test would have been announced by Vincent Wilhelm!

Thnx Robb, I'll check it out!

2True RoBBQ!

Fun stuff (not). A 9+ story apartment building maybe a two-mile drive from our home caught fire an hour or two ago *for the third time* this year! I could sirens as the fire deparment was responding.

3rd time?? Yikes!!

Yes! A big one earlier this year that condemned 89 units, one about 5 or 6 weeks ago, and this afternoon's.

Ooof, scary stuff.

Sorry Blouie, we don't have a very large modern jazz library here.

Wal, is it just me? I don't see any song posts since Sonny Clark at 3:41 PM...

It's me. I am slow at getting this next song up there

Ditto

Heck yeah!!

Thnx Wal, phew!

Vincent has spoken!

Why Knot!

You ask, you get! (Sometimes...)

Nice!!!

Always pleasing Wal!

Unfortunately, I need to drop from the chat. ☹ It's been great chatting with y'all. Have a safe and sane New Year's Eve celebration and I'll catch ya next week.

See ya in '24, RBBQ!!

Thanks Wal for the great tunes as always!

Of course, thank you for stopping by today!!

I need to get more guitar playing going around here. Too many horns and pianos, today.

G'day Robb, thanks for the link!

Slamm'n drum solo!

Only the best from Blakey!

Bye Robb and happy new year!!

Good afternoon Wal and everyone!

Bye RBBQ & Hi DAAAAAAAAVE

WAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!

What is on fire in your pic there?

Heyyyyyy Jeff!

Hey Dave!

It’s a gif/pic of some sort of demon-monster I used for Taylor’s show last night.

Digg'n the 'Trane ride!

It sure looks "Touch of Evil" appropriate!

I didn't get a chance to listen to ToE last night, but I'm sure it was as awesome as usual

Every gif/pic I use for his show I try to make as appropriate as I can.

I'm glad that the GIF/pic spills over here into BD&R, haha!

I would try and change it over into a more jazz-appropriate pic, but it usually won’t change over in time for this show. I can try it next week and see what happens.

Really fast guitar? Like hardcore punk from 40 years ago?

Daaaaave, keep the ToE graphics for BD&R. You have our blessing. Haha!

RMD, I'm into really fast hardcore punk of 40 years ago, too!

Dave, when I update my pic I find if I rebout my fone immediately after the change it speeds the update.

*reboot*

The late Alvin Lee of Ten Years After dabbled a bit in jazz in the early part of the band’s career, and he was once dubbed as the fastest guitarist in the world in the ‘70s.

Yeah, Alvin Lee was fast!!

I always liked Vernon Reid for his shredding with Living Colour

That first Living Colour album was great!

Yeah Jeff, that has worked before for me, with varying results. I’ll try it again after I get finished with Taylor’s show next Friday… I just have to come up with a good jazzy gif for this program.

Evil jazz is accepted here!

I’ve got a new show name for you, Wal… Touch of Beelzebop!

Hahaha!

I've been watching old TV shows on XUMO, I saw Buddy Rich on the Tonight Show with Clark Terry in the band! Then I saw Miles Davis on Miami Vice, good thing he kept his 'day' job!

Haha! That's so neat to see Rich and Terry together. And what was Miles doing on Vice?

Just being himself, boring episode!

The rain is starting to clear up down here, did you get much up there?

If you became demonically possessed by money and moved to the financial district of New York City, you would live on… Wal-Street!

Where you would say: “No to the low and indeed to the greed!”

Not likely to happen, but okaaaaaay? Haha!

Indeed to the greed, oh man, LOL

The pun-meister returns!

That's why we picked Daaaave for our team, RJF.

I wonder what ever happened to Frank D. from Boss Guy’s old show…? He just suddenly disappeared. He was great with the puns!

Happy new year everyone! Wal, thanks for another enjoyable show.

Thanks RMD!! You too!!

Q: What do you call a working girl’s “client” who travels on a rail out of a mine of fossil fuels? A: A John Coal-train.

Thank you for another fabulous BD&R show today! Take care, be safe, and have a great rest of your day/evening! 🎸🎹🎷🎺🎵🎶

Take care, be safe, and enjoy the rest of your day/evening, everyone! 🎸🎹🎷🎺🎵🎶

Thank you Daaaave! Happy new year to you.

Happy New Year, Wal and everyone! ⌛🥂🎉

Sorry for the bad John Coltrane pun.
