Speaking of that 2005 Maxwells show, The Redwalls cancelled a FMU session that same day for reasons unknown. Guess they were getting too big for us.

Kantner reportedly the only one on every Airplane record. Becomes apparent how crucial his Rickenbacker & writing were tho' not a limelight addict...
Avatar 🎃 Sat. 2/13/16 11:40am Mailman Tom:

Thanks for the Signe Anderson tribute, Mike. Amazingly, there is a short video of her and the Airplane performing at the Fillmore Auditorium in SF in October 1966 and it's on YouTube.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sat. 2/13/16 11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

The Airplane are thee Sound of San Francisco in some deep & indefinable ways.

it sounds like Jack Casady mixed THIS Jefferson Airplane track.

Thanks, Mike Sin! Outstanding show today.
  Mon. 2/15/16 10:49am Mark Dillman:

Here's an email I just sent to close friends:

DJ Mike Sin, filling-in for absent Michael Shelly, on WFMU Saturday morning did a brilliant bit of song sequencing. He played a new song by yet another Daptone label artist who recreates 1960s soul music with exciting accuracy. We heard “(Let’s All Do the) Chicken Switch” by the James Hunter Six. That alone is worth sharing with like-minded friends but the DJ sandwiched this song between Sam Cook and Eddie Floyd both from the 1960s. The grove was seamless. The decades that separated these records were meaningless. I was impressed.
