	7:27pm Charlie: Watching Elaine Stritch in that doc is wonderful
	7:29pm Webhamster Henry: You can play "Dance 10 Looks 3" on the FCC unimpeded Drummer Stream! But you did get a "Bullshit" in!
	7:31pm another old man: There’s a nice take on Company from the show Documentary Now if you can find it. Here’s a bit: bit.ly...
	👻 7:33pm doctorjazz: Love this Roches!
	7:33pm diciassette: Hello Charlie & reglers. Sounding great!
	7:33pm diciassette: Me toooo!
	7:34pm Charlie: thanks, another old man! hi doctorjazz! diciassette - hi!
	7:41pm Webhamster Henry: Of course there's a whole musical WORKING based on Studs Terkel's interviews.en.wikipedia.org...
	7:45pm Charlie: Henry, I did not know that! I'll have to check that out.
	7:45pm wendy del formaggio: Oh no! I missed Mr. Burns and Smithers. But I didn’t miss Charlie. Hi!
	7:46pm Listener Gregory: Checking in. I hope this will be appropriate dinner music.
	7:46pm Meghan: You played the Simpsons! Haha I missed this!!
	7:47pm Michael: Hello Charlie. Lovely Friday music.
	7:50pm wendy del formaggio: Charlie, are you going to play anything from “The Odd Couple Sings” album? Enquiring minds want to know!
	7:51pm Roberto: Funny, I was just thinking about the time I went to a fundraiser in 1990 where James Naughton and his son performed together.
	7:51pm Roberto: Paul Newman was in the audience.
	7:51pm Charlie: Hi Wendy! Gregory - haha! hi Michael!
	7:53pm diciassette: There are some really fantastic links in this one!
	👻 7:54pm doctorjazz: Aimee, like her version (and most everything else she does)!
	7:54pm Michael: I think you’d get a kick out of that Documentary Now show. It lovingly recreates the documentary of the recording of the cast album. I don’t know who that old man above is. 🙂
	7:54pm Listener Gregory: The kids are asking me to explain these songs to them. Help!
	7:55pm melinda: Hi everyone!
	7:56pm melinda: Love the photo from All That Jazz, I just re-watched it.
	7:57pm diciassette: My parents took my to my uncle's house when I was a 4 or 5 and I got into their 3 Dog Night records not realizing that most people don't let toddlers operate the record machine.
	7:59pm Roberto: I saw PT Anderson (and partner Maya Rudolph and their four kids) at a health food store in Montauk a few years ago.
	8:03pm Charlie: hi melinda! uh-oh, gregory!
	8:06pm Listener Gregory: I think Randy's version of this song has more verve. Yes, I said verve! But love the Fred Astaire.
	8:11pm Jeff Moore: I was going to say that it's fascinating to hear Phyllis Diller playing a role which isn't her regular self-deprecating schtick... but then there it was in the patter. Huh.
	8:12pm Michael: Zero was quite the unique actor.
	8:13pm Webhamster Henry: Harold Rome makes plenty of appearances on the Acid Jazz Hands Show.
	8:15pm Charlie: Michael - that's an understatement
	8:21pm Charlie: I missed Meghan's entrance. Hi, Meghan:) if you're still here
	8:22pm melinda: One of my favorite Hair songs.
	8:24pm Charlie: melinda, me too. but I love a lot of Hair songs:)

	8:26pm judy from croton: Takes you, Charlie, for pointing the beacon on that wonderful Hair song
	8:26pm melinda: I don't think I've heard Shirley MacLaine sing before.
	8:26pm Charlie: hi Judy!
	8:27pm Charlie: melinda - this is a terrific movie! worth checking out
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: @melinda, I think Shirley MacLaine started out as a song-and-dance performer more than an actor. Maybe.
	8:30pm Jeff Moore: Gooses! Geeses! Beware!
	8:30pm wendy del formaggio: Veruca, darling!
	8:30pm diciassette: Also Nights of Cabiria! (not sure in which order, though)

	8:32pm DL in LA: Doing Bronwyn proud in Busy Doing Nothing style. Loving it!
	8:32pm Charlie: Hey, even James Cagney started out as a song-and-dance man
	8:33pm Charlie: Hi DL! thanks:)
	8:33pm Webhamster Henry: The Nina Simone Pirate Jenny is also a good Acid Jazz Hands pick.
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: I also started out as a song-and-dance man. Now I'm down to just a man, and even that has been questioned.
	8:44pm Charlie: I'm down to just a song
	8:46pm Charlie: Nina Simone's Pirate Jenny is the most chilling recording ever
	8:48pm Jeff Moore: I think I heard you mention someone named "Flint" and for a fleeting moment I thought you were going to talk about the immortal classic musical spy thriller film "The Man Called Flintstone" www.imdb.com...
	8:50pm Charlie: lol, Jeff!
	8:50pm Michael: Well doggy
	8:50pm wendy del formaggio: Dr. Teeth!
	8:51pm melinda: haven't heard this in ages

	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Charlie! Very Acid Jazz tonight!
