Sounds Like underground stream of consciousness radio...from prog to psych to bubblegum to pop....this is what radio used to be like in the late 60s/early 70s.. or at least this is how bob and ron envisioned it. all transferred from original vinyl, from the bob and ron archive, to you, the listener.

   About bob and ron's record club
Yes, the imaginary rock and roll radio show that will psychedelicize your soul is now broadcast on terrestrial radio in Chicago on WCKG 105.9 FM. It is on from 2:00am until 5:00am, late night Saturday going into Sunday, or as Bob and Ron say, Satunday. Right after The Phishing Report which airs from Midnight until 2:00am. Bob and Ron's Record Club plays actual vinyl long-playing recorded albums. You will even hear some snaps, crackles, and pops, and its not Bob and Ron eating Rice Crispies, although that has been known to happen. Its what they like to call "warmth." The Record Club plays a variety of music. They play the artists you know but the songs you may not. Its definitely not the old Boston/REO/Journey same 100 songs over and over again crap that "Classic Rock" radio became. The Record Club looks back to FM's early progressive days for inspiration. There is music for the body and there is music for the mind. Music for the body picks you off the floor and hurls you into physical activity of whatever type you may prefer at the moment. Music for the mind floats you gently downstream, through the pleasurable twists and turns, ups and downs, rapids and calm waters. Bob and Ron play music for the mind. In its strictest sense, it may impose some cerebral responsibility on the listener, because you can't really hum along or have the tune pass through your head as you walk in the streets. But the ultimate good feeling that The Record Club generates will always remain with you, and the final emotional benefit is well worth the thinking toll. In general, after hearing Bob and Ron's Record Club everybody's head will be more together.

#1... I like this guy Chris and his choice of adult beverages... "Luck Heileman!" my brother Chris

#2 I recently saw Bob, and I was debating with him the merits of the flute in classic rock, as well as contemporary music.

I feel like the flute has brought a subtle, yet superlative quality to a variety of epic rock... ranging from Caravan, Focus, Jethro Tull, Tourniquet, Traffic, Mothers of Invention, Sweet Science, Gentle Giant, and even Gnidrolog (who also had a strong basis in the even more obscure rock'n'roll instrument, the Oboe).

Bob didn't seem to be too familiar with Gnidrolog though... I would describe them as early psychedelic Chicago with an emphasis on woodwinds... many people liken them to Van der Graf Generator or Gong, and I find their vocals to be similar to Jon Anderson, and at times reminiscent to Geddy Lee or even Billy Joel.

Gnidrolog recorded two albums in 1972 on RCA Victor. They briefly reformed 27 years later to record the album "Gnosis" in 2000.

Dear Bob and Ron,

Chicago misses your late night antics and music. Please keep us updated with appearances and music performances so that we can throw panties and mushroom chocolates on stage.
The Phish is back and we need a statement.
Please don't leave us hanging.

I believe if you watch this video closely, especially around 0:05, I have documented evidence that Bob was once briefly a member of the band Motorhead:
