We take a few questions about Nilly the Dog, including a startling revelation about the naked truth of her commentaries. We cover other topics, concluding with another exquisite example of Al’s duck talk. After each segment Nilly the Dog adds some brief thoughts, or at least she claims they are her thoughts and her woof.

We conclude our talk about From His Head To His Heart To His Hands, the Mike Bloomfield Box set that Al Produced, and we also wander off into another Appaloosa story that shows again how deeply Al cared and cares about the music above everything.

We bounce around various topics that relate the the box set, including more on East West, Bloomfield making way for Bishop, and Al’s visit to Mill Valley.

We talk about creating the box set of Bloomfield for Columbia, about John Hammond, Bloomfield being afraid of Butterfield, about the legendary album East West, and Al doing this project out of love.

We answer questions under what conditions Al would accept the gift of a Hammond B3 Organ, about the Bloomfield box set, and back to playing the organ. Of course, Nilly the Dog follows each segment with canine input of her own..

In this episode a question reveals that Al was a proud member of his college marching band, and we talk about not getting royalties from albums you played on. Of course, Nilly the Dog follows each segment with canine input of her own.

We answer a question from our first Czechoslovakian listener,  a question about maybe Mike Bloomfield’s old guitar, and a greeting from old friend Glober (global?) Gober. As always, Nilly the Dog ends each segment with her dogged thoughts.

We answer questions about how Al starts writing songs, about the Metropole  Lounge, and about Al’s crazy shirts. Nilly the Dog concludes each segment with some brief pooch dog thoughts.

We start with a rare bit of Donald Duck talk from Al and then about not visiting the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, being on the road vs staying in your home town, and the Cow Incident with the Blues Project.  After each segment Nilly the Dog adds some brief thoughts of her own.

We answer questions about the concept of a movie version of Backstage Passes, about the lost potential of the accounting firm Kuperschmidt and Zimmerman, and we get interrupted by Nilly the Dog, who usually only speaks up after each question.

We answer questions about piano chops and about Tom Wilson and his son. After each answer, Nilly the Dog adds a wise and succinct comment of her own.

We answer questions about attending the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, about writing with Gerry Goffin, and about some old grade school friends. After each answer, Nilly Dog adds a summary comment of her own.
