	♥ 9:34am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: Knormalish! I completely fell down on following up with you about plants. Want to have a yardbeer some time soon?
	9:35am HyperDose: The one thing Suzuki got right
	♥ 9:35am Knormalish: Thanks for the parking well-wishes, Joe! Always a little tricky UES, which is why I got to the job an hour early... Nice close space + down time with excellent music = Monday Morning Win
	9:35am earthwalker: This song sounds sweet Thanks Joe
	♥ 9:35am Webhamster Henry: @HyperDose I have the pre MIDI version, will circuit bend it one of these days. the best is its auto-accompaniment!
	♥ 9:36am Stanley: Hi Joe. I've been to Wau. It's a town in South Sudan.
	♥ 9:36am Knormalish: Handy! I've got two more weeks of nutso spring crunch time work, and then YES! It'll be nice to catch up... and fully vaxed!
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @Stanley: Wow, Stanley, that's amazing!

	♥ 9:37am Yes: these last couple are just lovely
	♥ 9:38am Handy Haversack: (We also would have accepted "Wau, Stanley, that's amazing!")
	9:39am HyperDose: @Webhamster Had my eye on the older models on Ebay. A pre-Q Omnichord in perfect condition + case/adapter/manual goes between $400-600. Is the Q-Chord worth it for the sake of saving a few bucks?
	♥ 9:39am Marley P. Dogg: Stanley - tell us more please!
	♥ 9:39am steveo: boom -- awesome set
	9:40am Hubig Pie: In the local patios it would be "Awe-theem ya Stanley"

	9:45am Marco Esquandolas: That was a fun set. Thank Joe!
	9:45am TDK60: Buddha! No, I have the correct address, just pretending to be geographically challenged about Noo Ingland.
	♥ 9:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Not feeling very productive today. However, I did go and open my neighbor's (organic veg farmer) greenhouses for him. (He took a short trip and his regular helper couldn't make it). My good deed for the day.
	9:51am YETI BOB: Good morning, slept right through W&B today, nice to see you all here.
	♥ 9:52am Ryansterlingvirtue: loving this song
	9:52am joseloalter: What a lovely tun for a Monday. Tnx!
	♥ 9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning YetiB ! Nice sort of MagneticFields Xs DepecheMode thing Ed's got here for lack of better-informed articulation from me...
	♥ 9:54am Webhamster Henry: @HyperDose I don't have a Q-chord, but from videos, it's sounds the same in the melodic department, but it has pitch bend and fancier backup and effects.
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @RR63: Thanks for saying Magnetic Fields. It was driving me crazy who that song reminded me of.
	♥ 9:55am Handy Haversack: Good call, Rev Rab! Hey, YB. Good weekend?
	♥ 9:56am StringOFperils: Eric Carmen meets Wazmo Nariz. Like a drippy noise faucet. Who knows what any this means?
	9:59am TDK60: RevRab63: Thanks for the reminder; happy 75th Donovan Leitch, wherever you are. (I think he lives in Cork, Eire.)
	♥ 9:59am Stanley: Joe - back in the day I hitched across Africa and spent quite some time in South Sudan, during the peaceful few years, there. Wau is the regional capital, populated mainly by the Dinka tribe and I remember drinking a lot of home made beer with them in a compund on the edge of town. However, as I looked up the Wau Wau Collectif on line, I see they are from Senegal and not from South Sudan. I've been to Senegal, as well but that is another story.
	10:00am Buddha of Suburbia: TDK60, ya goofball! Will be in NYC for 4 days around end of July. Let's try to have another get together if possible.
	10:00am annie: no lurking for me, today. this first hour has been wonderful. and, speaking of Nana Mouskouri, my parents were huge fans of hers. we got turned onto greek pop music early. and you just can't find the "Never on Sunday" soundtrack on vinyl at all.
	♥ 10:01am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe! Good morning all!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Hey annie! @Stanley: Thanks for clarifying!
	♥ 10:01am Knormalish: Thanks for a magical start to my workweek, Joe! Gotta go prune some trees now.. Wishing a beautiful day to everyone!
	10:02am Sam: The only time I've ever heard people use the expression "play the fool" is in song lyrics.
	10:02am HyperDose: @Webhamster Oooh like a handheld "fretless" keytar. Ok I'm getting the Q then. Thanks for the info!
	10:02am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye bye Knormalish! Love you!!!
	♥ 10:03am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and everybody!
	♥ 10:03am Son Of Pantz: @Sam Unless it's Mr T making a song request, "Play The The, fool!"
	♥ 10:05am Knormalish: You too, Boodz! Hi Paul, and bye Paul... lol
	10:05am Sam: That's true Son of Pantz. I'll admit, I haven't spent much time with Mr. T.
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Later on, Knormalish.
	♥ 10:05am melinda: @annie I love the Never On Sunday soundtrack too
	10:06am yetibob on the app: Thanks Handy, Michigan was nice wven though Sunday was rainy... Saturday was for kayaking on the lake, Sunday for hanging around the house with some good old friends, playing guitars and listening to jazz.
	♥ 10:07am yerfriendpaul: Hello and Goodbye Knormalish!
	10:07am yetibob: Handy - you have a working laptop?
	♥ 10:08am Little Danny: Hi Joe, hi all!
	10:09am Buddha of Suburbia: Gonna get going! Great show, Joe! Hi Yeti Bob! Hi YerfriendPaul! I just posted an article about Sesame Street on FB. I'll tag you. Have a good one everybody! xx
	♥ 10:10am karlward: I was like "I like this, is this Dump?" just now
	♥ 10:11am karlward: Joe: have you ever heard Marco Mahler? I think you would dig his record Design in Quick Rotation. It looks like only Irene Trudel has played something of his.
	♥ 10:11am tadpoles: Morning Joe. Just joined to see you played a song called Number Eight Wire which I figured must be by a Kiwi artist I'd never heard of. Here's what Number 8 Wire means: en.wikipedia.org... Cheers.
	10:11am Zachary Vine: these vibes are helping me so badly with my monday morning elementary school teaching gig (students home today)
	♥ 10:12am yerfriendpaul: Hey Boods! I saw it! Can't wait to see that doc. Have a good one!
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: I love this Lael Neale. Seems like an FMU hit!
	10:12am joseloalter: This session is the best thing happening right now in my reality.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @karl: Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out. @tadpoles: How interesting! I was wondering what he was on about. @Zachary: Hang in there! @Little Danny: Trying to get her here, remotely.
	♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: Sort of, YB. For now, it's HDMIed to an old monitor. Waiting for the new screen to arrive so I can get it replaced. Seems like it's just the screen. Maybe the camera looks a little off now? But who cares. No one needs to see me.
	10:14am Rick A: I have a break in my teaching gig to listen to Joe. This Lael Neale album is a bonafide WFMU hit. Pseu played it last week.
	10:15am TDK60: Stanley, morning. What year/s did you hitch around Africa?
	10:15am Hubig Pie: Never on Sunday starred Melina Mecouri but I don't think Nana Meskouri was associated with it
	10:16am yetibob: Glad you didn't lose any data, Handy. And everyone - remember to back your s**t up!
	10:18am HyperDose: What Yeti said. Invest in a RAID or NAS system, use Carbonite or cloud storage if you have the space, and have a handful of external SSDs on hand. Once you have a drive die on you and lose everything, you never want it to happen again.
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Gorgeous set.
	10:20am annie: thanks hubig.. i was only 10..
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @little Danny: What a guitar solo!
	♥ 10:23am Krys O.: Nice cover of BW Stevenson!
	♥ 10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& if you need antibiotics for SSDs you might find you are more sensitive to direct sunlight...
	10:26am Glorious Estephonic: ooooooh yessssssssssssss love peanut thank goodness for the rain
	♥ 10:26am TonyR: A woozle named Peanut.
	10:27am Mike tp: I don't even like pretzels but this peanut.haha
	♥ 10:27am TonyR: My s**t IS backed up! I started Metamucil a week ago.
	♥ 10:29am TonyR: Little Red Tide is High
	10:29am earthwalker: Rainy Day here in Nice We got Joe !
	10:30am earthwalker: Bye Buddha Be Well
	♥ 10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...always have 2nd hand computers that break down - & an external hardrive that won't let me change it with each new one ...Thx engineers for making everything as un-user friendly as possible...
	♥ 10:33am TonyR: I once narrowly voided a disaster with a Monoprice 2-drive RAID1 unit (external USB. It turns out that if you took power off the USB line, the fan would stop running. Only took a couple hours to "What's that smell?"
	10:34am HyperDose: @RRN63 Many hard drive issues can be solved with a re-format. Also how you format the drives is important, especially if you do a lot of cross-platform work: www.howtogeek.com...
	10:35am Rick A: Speaking of segments, when is the next story corner? That is another great aspect of SN. Now when I hear a song, I wonder if that would work for story corner? Almost John Prine's entire catalogue fits story corner.
	♥ 10:35am TonyR: I had to leave that f**ker cool on the windowsill like a pie.
	♥ 10:35am Krys O.: LOVE THE MUSIC MACHINE!!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am Strandlund: Nice pick!!

	10:36am mike: my social lifes a dud my name is really mud
	♥ 10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx HyperD ! TalkTalk - True Nugget. Hear the 45ness.
	♥ 10:37am TonyR: Oh, they FINALLY got to the title of the song st the last minute. Crisis averted.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Rick A: I keep forgetting to do one! I'll try to do one before May is over.
	♥ 10:39am Son Of Pantz: I love this Teddy Boy style of crooning Rock N Roll.
	10:39am Dennis Diken: hey Joe and all - I always love hearing Troy Shondell! and wow, how freakin' tightly packed and performed is the track for "Talk Talk"?!
	10:39am Mike tp: what's a SHONDELL?good tunesJOE...
	10:39am JT: walk that dog!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Dennis: I agree on both counts! I also love when that EXTREMELY loud tambourine comes in on "Talk Talk."
	10:41am Mike tp: inspired drum playing DENNIS on talk talk.it was a hit..alwsyd

	♥ 10:46am Son Of Pantz: They sure were dirty in 1928
	♥ 10:46am karlward: Those toms on "Talk Talk" were outrageous. I'd love to see how they miked the drums.
	10:46am northguineahills: what Son of Pantz said....
	10:47am Hubig Pie: Bessie Smith, master of the double entendre
	♥ 10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yes but is there any precedent for women to Rawk :D :D :D ...
	♥ 10:47am Pale Son: Appreciate the coffee-grinding connection.
	♥ 10:48am Hughie Considine: Krups vs. OXO?
	♥ 10:48am Krys O.: Excellent Single File, Joe!
	10:48am Brendan: Digging the festivities. Carry on.
	10:49am βrian: Coffee? I just roasted up some Sulawesi yesterday. Lovely stuff.
	♥ 10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Grinder: Breville.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: @Krys O.: I hope you'll like the next one!
	10:50am JT: this sums up 1976 pretty well methinks
	10:51am Marco Esquandolas: OH I like Cheese and Crackers!
	♥ 10:51am Marley P. Dogg: Who doesn’t love some cheese and crackers!
	♥ 10:51am Son Of Pantz: "Gimme a C! A bouncy C!"

	♥ 10:52am Hughie Considine: @Son of Pantz...you take a little herring and ya put it on a bun....
	♥ 10:52am Doobois: More Morey! This is fantastic, Joe!
	10:52am Therese: Cheese and crackers are two of my favorite things. I don't know what this guy's problem is.
	10:53am Therese: Learn to cook for yourself, Morey!!!!
	♥ 10:53am Son Of Pantz: @Hughie "da da doo. dee da da...and whatever the hell else..."
	♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...leaves me thirsty is the worst of it...
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: Hi, Therese! I see there are a lot of "Dick Van Dyke" fans in the house.
	10:53am Hubig Pie: A steak or two? Morey was a big eater
	10:54am northguineahills: I've always done my own cooking, and I'm damn good at it....
	10:54am joseloalter: YES!!
	♥ 10:54am Rich in Washington: YES
	♥ 10:54am tadpoles: Great Joe....Honey Bane...very under-rated!
	♥ 10:54am Krys O.: Was on the phone during Morey Amsterdam. Was that the Roscoe Gordon Cheese and Crackers song?
	♥ 10:54am Hughie Considine: @SOP, Irving Cohen -- surely one of Martin Short's finest creations.
	10:54am Therese: Hi Joe! Watch out for those awkwardly placed ottomans...

	♥ 10:55am Handy Haversack: Great stuff! Gotta suit up for dog-strolling purposes now. Hope to make it back before the end.
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Therese: Ha! @tadpoles: A tone deaf transition from silly to quite serious, but that's Single File for you.
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: There is an ultra-bizarre film with Morey Amsterdam called Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title. Saw it one early morning thanks to insomnia. Surreal: www.imdb.com...
	♥ 10:56am Rich in Washington: I can't read The Kebabs without pronouncing it the British way.
	10:57am JT: a trilling flute always puts a snap in my step
	♥ 10:58am Krys O.: @Rich in Washington: That's also how New Zealanders also say it. See Flight of the Conchords.
	♥ 10:59am OldGringo: Letting myself go before doing my taxes. Thank you, Joe!

	11:00am Glorious Estephonic: oh i knew they sounded familiar Friends of Distinction -- i remember hearing them on Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Hour- Flowers -- Grazing in The Grass
	♥ 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Morey Amsterdam - King of the Second Bananas! Hi Joe and everyone!
	♥ 11:04am Rich in Washington: De Lug did the score for the wretched Santa Claus vs The Martians.
	11:04am Sean: Morey Amsterdam can make a sane man cray-zee. Morey Amsterdam can make a nice guy kill.
	♥ 11:04am Rich in Washington: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, meant. What a sap I am.
	♥ 11:05am TonyR: 7" 45s - the great equalizer.

	♥ 11:09am TonyR: I care about makin' honey!
	♥ 11:09am Mark Hurst: Thanks, Joe!
	11:10am Dennis Diken: @Mike tp - yeah, the drums are so happening on "Talk Talk"! @karlward - I'm guessing there weren't many mics on the kit? apparently Sean Boniwell was quite the task master and doled the parts out to the band and made sure they were performed to the "T".
	11:10am Listener Baby: Hi Joe. Hi gang!
	11:10am Dennis Diken: hey Baby!
	♥ 11:10am tadpoles: Talking of Talk Talk Joe...I'm sure you could do a segment of bands named after other group's songs...Death Cab For Cutie comes to mind.
	♥ 11:11am OldGringo: @Marco E- thank you! That's my buddy Petey. Be well and stay safe!
	11:11am Listener Baby: Morning Double D.
	♥ 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz are to a farewell tour as the Monkees this fall. The tour kicks off in Seattle on 9/11.
	♥ 11:13am spodiodi: good morning, Joe McGasko and Surface Noise fans
	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: YAY!
	♥ 11:14am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mark - I'm looking forward to the show tonight. The description of the book sounds like it matches how I used the internet machine.
	11:15am Dennis Diken: re: Morey Amsterdam - he made records for Roulette too (I have an LP) - I think "Yuck-A-Puck" was a single? he's credited as one of the writers of "Rum And Coca Cola"
	11:15am yetibob: Hi spodi! How's the old wine jacket?
	11:15am dano59: Trying to remember that all-instrumental Nesmith album - the Omaha Train Whistle?? It's a weird one, kind of a cheat if you like his songs.
	♥ 11:16am spodiodi: hi YETIBOB! snug and stained as ever, thanks ;) are you still on the road?
	♥ 11:16am Krys O.: DOUBLE YAY!
	11:17am dano59: Morey totally stole credit on that protest song ...
	♥ 11:17am paddy in matawan: papa gener?
	♥ 11:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw Floyd Cramer when I was a little kid. A concert with him, Boots Randolph and Chet Atkins.
	♥ 11:17am Mark Hurst: @Tim thanks - I think it's a good match.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @dano59: I like that Train Whistle Things record even though it's before his classic RCA era.
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Mr Amsterdam also wrote the theme song for the Alan Brady show
	♥ 11:18am Krys O.: Don't see any credits, but I'd venture a guess that Bob Moore is playing bass on the Floyd Cramer.
	11:19am Dennis Diken: @dano59 - yeah, I've heard that too. do you know the scoop?
	♥ 11:24am Son Of Pantz: Hey, if Gumby can name a sandwich after you, you must be alright.
	11:25am yetibob: Spodi - I've been home for a week. Chicago is pretty grey and gloomy compared to New Mexico.
	♥ 11:26am 12539: Stepping out early - Thanks Joe! Great show so far!
	11:28am dano59: @Dennis - Only one account I read of him hearing it in Cuba(?) first... Unsure if he added lyrics, rather than just omitting "kill the Yankee soldier". I see this as somehow worse than any unearned Levy, Spector or Presley writing credits.
	♥ 11:28am spodiodi: i bet, YB. glad you made it back safely to the land of comparative gloom :-B haven't been down that way yet, but it's been on my list.
	♥ 11:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Nashville Ambient Ensemble -> straight to the Bandcamp wishlist.
	♥ 11:34am Krys O.: This Nashville Ambient Ensemble puts me in the mind of Bill Pursell: en.wikipedia.org...

	11:39am northguineahills: Silver Apples of the Moon shoutout!
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: I love that Nesmith spent his two commercials talking about other records! Reminds me of when Stiff Records printed an inner sleeve featuring all the great records NOT on the label!
	♥ 11:39am Rich in Washington: OMG! That Morton Subotnik plug! Is that on that CD?
	♥ 11:39am Pale Son: Ah ha ha! If you like this music, you'll love Morton Subotnick.
	11:39am Mike W: Nesmith, destined to be perpetually underrated (for the record, i totally rate the Monkees, too)

	11:54am Neil M: Late to the party, I was sad to miss you play O Lucky Man! Joe. That's an all-time special place in the heart one for me. I love the film and the music is somehow perfect. Perhaps it's irony that I missed it because I was getting a hearing test. Going to all those shows at Lounge Ax in Chicago in my 20s didn't destroy my hearing anywhere near as much as I thought! So if I had been listening, I would have heard O Lucky Man! so clearly!

	♥ 9:55am Handy Haversack: Good call, Rev Rab! Hey, YB. Good weekend?

	♥ 9:59am Stanley: Joe - back in the day I hitched across Africa and spent quite some time in South Sudan, during the peaceful few years, there. Wau is the regional capital, populated mainly by the Dinka tribe and I remember drinking a lot of home made beer with them in a compund on the edge of town. However, as I looked up the Wau Wau Collectif on line, I see they are from Senegal and not from South Sudan. I've been to Senegal, as well but that is another story.
	10:00am Buddha of Suburbia: TDK60, ya goofball! Will be in NYC for 4 days around end of July. Let's try to have another get together if possible.
	10:00am annie: no lurking for me, today. this first hour has been wonderful. and, speaking of Nana Mouskouri, my parents were huge fans of hers. we got turned onto greek pop music early. and you just can't find the "Never on Sunday" soundtrack on vinyl at all.
	♥ 10:01am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe! Good morning all!
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: Hey annie! @Stanley: Thanks for clarifying!
	♥ 10:01am Knormalish: Thanks for a magical start to my workweek, Joe! Gotta go prune some trees now.. Wishing a beautiful day to everyone!

	10:02am HyperDose: @Webhamster Oooh like a handheld "fretless" keytar. Ok I'm getting the Q then. Thanks for the info!
	10:02am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye bye Knormalish! Love you!!!
	♥ 10:03am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe and everybody!
	♥ 10:03am Son Of Pantz: @Sam Unless it's Mr T making a song request, "Play The The, fool!"
	♥ 10:05am Knormalish: You too, Boodz! Hi Paul, and bye Paul... lol
	10:05am Sam: That's true Son of Pantz. I'll admit, I haven't spent much time with Mr. T.
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Later on, Knormalish.
	♥ 10:05am melinda: @annie I love the Never On Sunday soundtrack too

	10:07am yetibob: Handy - you have a working laptop?

	♥ 10:10am karlward: I was like "I like this, is this Dump?" just now
	♥ 10:11am karlward: Joe: have you ever heard Marco Mahler? I think you would dig his record Design in Quick Rotation. It looks like only Irene Trudel has played something of his.
	♥ 10:11am tadpoles: Morning Joe. Just joined to see you played a song called Number Eight Wire which I figured must be by a Kiwi artist I'd never heard of. Here's what Number 8 Wire means: en.wikipedia.org... Cheers.
	10:11am Zachary Vine: these vibes are helping me so badly with my monday morning elementary school teaching gig (students home today)
	♥ 10:12am yerfriendpaul: Hey Boods! I saw it! Can't wait to see that doc. Have a good one!
	♥ 10:12am Little Danny: I love this Lael Neale. Seems like an FMU hit!
	10:12am joseloalter: This session is the best thing happening right now in my reality.
	♥ 10:13am Joe McG: @karl: Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out. @tadpoles: How interesting! I was wondering what he was on about. @Zachary: Hang in there! @Little Danny: Trying to get her here, remotely.
	♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: Sort of, YB. For now, it's HDMIed to an old monitor. Waiting for the new screen to arrive so I can get it replaced. Seems like it's just the screen. Maybe the camera looks a little off now? But who cares. No one needs to see me.
	10:14am Rick A: I have a break in my teaching gig to listen to Joe. This Lael Neale album is a bonafide WFMU hit. Pseu played it last week.
	10:15am TDK60: Stanley, morning. What year/s did you hitch around Africa?
	10:15am Hubig Pie: Never on Sunday starred Melina Mecouri but I don't think Nana Meskouri was associated with it
	10:16am yetibob: Glad you didn't lose any data, Handy. And everyone - remember to back your s**t up!
	10:18am HyperDose: What Yeti said. Invest in a RAID or NAS system, use Carbonite or cloud storage if you have the space, and have a handful of external SSDs on hand. Once you have a drive die on you and lose everything, you never want it to happen again.
	♥ 10:19am Little Danny: Gorgeous set.

	♥ 10:33am TonyR: I once narrowly voided a disaster with a Monoprice 2-drive RAID1 unit (external USB. It turns out that if you took power off the USB line, the fan would stop running. Only took a couple hours to "What's that smell?"
	10:34am HyperDose: @RRN63 Many hard drive issues can be solved with a re-format. Also how you format the drives is important, especially if you do a lot of cross-platform work: www.howtogeek.com...
	10:35am Rick A: Speaking of segments, when is the next story corner? That is another great aspect of SN. Now when I hear a song, I wonder if that would work for story corner? Almost John Prine's entire catalogue fits story corner.

	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Therese: Ha! @tadpoles: A tone deaf transition from silly to quite serious, but that's Single File for you.
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: There is an ultra-bizarre film with Morey Amsterdam called Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title. Saw it one early morning thanks to insomnia. Surreal: www.imdb.com...

	11:10am Dennis Diken: @Mike tp - yeah, the drums are so happening on "Talk Talk"! @karlward - I'm guessing there weren't many mics on the kit? apparently Sean Boniwell was quite the task master and doled the parts out to the band and made sure they were performed to the "T".
	11:10am Listener Baby: Hi Joe. Hi gang!
	11:10am Dennis Diken: hey Baby!

	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: YAY!
	♥ 11:14am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mark - I'm looking forward to the show tonight. The description of the book sounds like it matches how I used the internet machine.
	11:15am Dennis Diken: re: Morey Amsterdam - he made records for Roulette too (I have an LP) - I think "Yuck-A-Puck" was a single? he's credited as one of the writers of "Rum And Coca Cola"
	11:15am yetibob: Hi spodi! How's the old wine jacket?
	11:15am dano59: Trying to remember that all-instrumental Nesmith album - the Omaha Train Whistle?? It's a weird one, kind of a cheat if you like his songs.
	♥ 11:16am spodiodi: hi YETIBOB! snug and stained as ever, thanks ;) are you still on the road?
	♥ 11:16am Krys O.: DOUBLE YAY!
	11:17am dano59: Morey totally stole credit on that protest song ...
	♥ 11:17am paddy in matawan: papa gener?
	♥ 11:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw Floyd Cramer when I was a little kid. A concert with him, Boots Randolph and Chet Atkins.

	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @dano59: I like that Train Whistle Things record even though it's before his classic RCA era.
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Mr Amsterdam also wrote the theme song for the Alan Brady show
	♥ 11:18am Krys O.: Don't see any credits, but I'd venture a guess that Bob Moore is playing bass on the Floyd Cramer.
	11:19am Dennis Diken: @dano59 - yeah, I've heard that too. do you know the scoop?
	♥ 11:24am Son Of Pantz: Hey, if Gumby can name a sandwich after you, you must be alright.
	11:25am yetibob: Spodi - I've been home for a week. Chicago is pretty grey and gloomy compared to New Mexico.
	♥ 11:26am 12539: Stepping out early - Thanks Joe! Great show so far!
	11:28am dano59: @Dennis - Only one account I read of him hearing it in Cuba(?) first... Unsure if he added lyrics, rather than just omitting "kill the Yankee soldier". I see this as somehow worse than any unearned Levy, Spector or Presley writing credits.
	♥ 11:28am spodiodi: i bet, YB. glad you made it back safely to the land of comparative gloom :-B haven't been down that way yet, but it's been on my list.
	♥ 11:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Nashville Ambient Ensemble -> straight to the Bandcamp wishlist.

	♥ 11:34am Krys O.: AND YAY AGAIN!
	11:35am Dennis Diken: @dano59 - thanks for info
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): I think that the Nashville Ambient Ensemble (which I enjoyed very much) needs to change their name to Second National Ambient Ensemble.
	11:36am dano59: I think maybe Dave Marsh is the guy outing Morey for me ... can't check; i loaned out my copy of Heart of Rock and Soul and never got it back.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: @tim: Or the Third International Band.
	11:36am YETI BOB: José Feliciano on conga!
	11:36am Johnny Staten Island: Thanks once again Joey M. I actually look forward to Monday mornings. Never thought I’d say that.

	11:37am Brendan: Spectacular set. Radio Hall of Fame material. That is all. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
	11:38am Listener Bop Monroe: "let me make a commercial for my album by telling you about someone else who'se better'n me"
	11:39am northguineahills: Silver Apples of the Moon shoutout!
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: I love that Nesmith spent his two commercials talking about other records! Reminds me of when Stiff Records printed an inner sleeve featuring all the great records NOT on the label!
	♥ 11:39am Rich in Washington: OMG! That Morton Subotnik plug! Is that on that CD?
	♥ 11:39am Pale Son: Ah ha ha! If you like this music, you'll love Morton Subotnick.
	11:39am Mike W: Nesmith, destined to be perpetually underrated (for the record, i totally rate the Monkees, too)

	11:54am annie: when i was at the colege station, sunday show, i sampled a "ne artist, Kristen Miller, cello solo blues/mood stuff. if you can find her stuff, it's definitely worth checking out
	11:54am Neil M: Late to the party, I was sad to miss you play O Lucky Man! Joe. That's an all-time special place in the heart one for me. I love the film and the music is somehow perfect. Perhaps it's irony that I missed it because I was getting a hearing test. Going to all those shows at Lounge Ax in Chicago in my 20s didn't destroy my hearing anywhere near as much as I thought! So if I had been listening, I would have heard O Lucky Man! so clearly!
	♥ 11:54am Yes: thanks joe!
	11:55am frenchee: I have never heard this Alex C. song. REVERB ALEX, huzzah
