	♥ 9:15am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and all!
	9:16am Miss G: Thank you for such a beautiful set Joe. Helps me enter the day, so groggy after resorting to chemical sleep for last night. After so many wall-shaking booms, I found out I could have actually seen the fireworks if I had walked downstairs and a block to the right. Oh well.
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: @Miss G: Happy to help out with the mellow morning sounds! I know some people probably had a rough night last night, sleepwise.
	9:21am YETI BOB: a whole bunch of stuff i never heard before, or even heard of. nice set, joe.
	9:24am YETI BOB: OK, I've heard of Mogwai ...
	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: I've heard of them, too, Bob. But does anyone really KNOW them? :)
	9:34am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!!! ❤️
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Hey, Coco! :)
	♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GittarBalm ...apply liberally with the dominant hand in a saw-like motion - wiggling fingers periodically - move non-dominant hand laterally & same with fingers perhaps more rapidly...
	♥ 9:37am I k e: Love it!
	♥ 9:38am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, where does an Egyptian go for help with his back pain??? To the "Cairo"practor !
	♥ 9:38am wessexbonbon: Is it me, or did that Hayvanlar Alemi beauty by Bahar Patlatan remind you of Television circa their Marquee Moon era?
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: @LWR: Ha! Don't make me laugh, it will hurt.
	9:40am The Butterman: Joe, didn’t Clay recommend Doans Pills for your back. How did he forget that one? He’s obsessed with Doans.
	♥ 9:41am wessexbonbon: (sorry I transposed the artist/track in my comment above)
	♥ 9:41am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Joe!
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Butterman: I think I might have some St. Joseph's aspirin upstairs in my desk.
	♥ 9:43am Joe McG: @wesbon: Yes, I can definitely hear that in there. Hiya, Baja Joe! We have a nice intimate group today, there's time to say hello to everybody...even Ike! Hi, Ike!
	♥ 9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We think of big time grownup cures & painkillers so much maybe we forget ...you could take a couple aspirin. I mean - they're hard enuff on the stomach & liver as it is...
	♥ 9:43am Pale Son: Man, that Godspeed was beautiful. Gotta pick that one up!
	9:44am araiguma: it is their best record in a long time
	9:46am Spinning Giant: Top o' the mornin', Joe! Howdy, gang! Sunny & Sultry up here in Southern Ontario today...
	♥ 9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonderful tones making me feel a fraud for using so much Gain & playing Loud whenever I turn the amp on. But it's just so much fun ...til it isn't I guess...
	9:46am Mike W: Sorry to hear about your back, Joe, it is a terrible pain vector.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: @RR63: The next song is for you!
	♥ 9:47am Handy Haversack: I am trying to take full advantage of this day off. Mellowing with Joe sounds and reading a new book about the history of American cider. Chilling. Out.
	9:47am Mike W: Handy lighting the way on this dog day afterfireworks
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike. It's so freakish. I've been feeling great for almost a year, and then one tug of a record bag and I'm lousy. You baby it forever, get better, and forget, and then whammo, here we go again.
	♥ 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: First Fabio and now Joe. I hope back troubles aren't contagious!
	♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Get drunk in a hot tub. Don't drown or anything...
	♥ 9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...smoke some Damiana herb - w/ CBD...
	9:50am Gruff: Loving the reverb
	9:50am Layet Johnson: Morning Joe, love the show!
	♥ 9:50am Pale Son: I suffer from regular back issues too. FWIW, I find exercise the most effective preventative, as opposed to stretching, which offers some relief when things get bad.
	9:51am P-90: Thanks for always being here on Mondays @Joe McG, even the three-day-weekend holidays. In Times Like These, the little pockets of consistency and reliability can mean more than ever to we huddled masses yearning to hear freeform.
	9:52am Mike W: Heat, painkillers, light stretching...if you’re anything like me you woke up one day and realized you were Much Older Than Before and that things like stretching and whatever body management routines work for you are now like food. Gotta have them every day. (I don’t, I’m still stuck in the know-I-should stage...) A heating pad, even on a hot day, is always the most immediate source of relief for me (even as I case my friendbase for anyone with leftover vicodin etc.).
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: Thanks for the good advice, Pale Son! I haven't been on the bike lately, so that hasn't helped. @P-90: Love to be here no matter what day it is! @Layet: Thanks!
	♥ 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Put on a long track and scoot on over to Brookstone and pick up a pair of inversion boots?
	♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: As the song for you started playing, Rev Rab, I read the words "Lebanon, NH," in my book!
	9:53am Buck Nicklepenny: Good Morning DJ Surface Noise with Joe McGasko. I do love me some prog surface pop and scratch reverb tremelo.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha ha! @Mike: I'll get some heat on it once I get home today. @Buck Nicklepenny: Good moniker.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - what are they saying ?
	9:55am Mike W: Irregardless (sic) we’re always grateful for the sounds you bring, and all the more so now that you’re playing through pain. Willis Reed, Kirk Gibson, every hockey player still standing when the Cup Finals come around, and now Joe McG.
	♥ 9:55am Will the Sound Guy: I agree, I have to keep moving and doing stuff. I fractured my L5 when I was 12. It's never been right since. Does it feel muscular, or skeletal? I've tried accupuncture which does work for a while. If I'm really bad, I go see my chiropractor. Feel better Joe McG!
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: Talking about Poverty Lane Orchard and its planting cider apple trees instead of just commercial MacIntoshes.
	9:57am davefromtoronto: morning joe and fellow surfacers - enjoying the show very much.
	9:58am Buck Nicklepenny: My back will go out once every year or two. Usually after lying in bed for two or three days (depression) then my muscles lose tightness....then afterward the unexpected back trauma. I have started to keep an old-folks walker around just in case.
	♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy oh yes. Is it the Michael Pollin book ? Botany of Desire...
	9:59am Buck Nicklepenny: Don't worry though the walker is painted a sexy metalflake red. I am sure it a real 'babe magnet'.
	♥ 9:59am spodiodi: don't forget the flames and fuzzy dice, Buck (i keep a pair of crutches for the same reason)
	♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: American Cider, by Pucci and Cavallo.
	10:00am theia: "It's always gonna be something with you Joe"
	10:00am morphe': "I DO DECLARE >>> IT IS GETTING A BIT DJANGO REINHARDT-ish IN HERE>>>"
	10:02am Buck Nicklepenny: Haha I like that fuzzy dice hanging. The flames would be too racy, I would always be challenged to racing around the aisles of walmart!
	♥ 10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy yeah - they're taking a risk standing up to Monocultures - unlike McDonalds & their fry potatoes - & what doomed the Irish in the famine... Dust Bowl, &tc.
	10:03am MplsCoco: oh no Slo Mo Joke!
	10:03am MplsCoco: *Joe
	10:04am morphe': amerika = Malcolm X siad "Don't talk about racism in the South, if you live south of the Canadian border you live in the south..." Frederick Douglass' 4th of July Speech is worth a read/listen: https://www.newsweek.com/what-slave-fourth-july-speech-famous-people-frederick-douglass-speech-1606478
	10:05am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m off from work today & im digging the show Joe!!
	10:08am Mike W: Handy, not being an experienced cider imbiber, what does — or does it at all? — (it must) — it pair with from the edible foods category?
	10:08am Mike W: I might just have graham crackers with cider. A box of graham crackers and a country jug of cider. Keep your fingers and toes away from my mouth.
	♥ 10:09am wessexbonbon: Do you ever play Dove by Cymande? It's lovely funky.
	♥ 10:10am 12539: Joe, several internet sources say about DH: dedicated to Dirk Hugsam, an independent tour agent affiliated with Constellation Records who had become a close friend to many of the bands on the roster; he died peacefully in December 2018 after a long illness.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: @12539: Thank you, that's great information.
	10:10am Spinning Giant: Mike W - Noted! LOL
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: Sounds like a plan, Mike W! I'm no expert on that sort of thing, but I guess anything you'd have with white wine? Strong cheeses, garlicky pastas and sauces, spicy potatoes? All seem reasonable to me? But maybe that's just because those are things I like to eat? Maybe I'm just hungry!
	10:11am TimBK: This song sounds like ELO's Last Train to London.
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @TimBK: Hm, I don't know that one, I'll have to investigate!
	10:12am Spinning Giant: Groovy tunes, this mornin', Joe - I am not on holiday - actually starting a new contract today and this mix is the perfect companion for kicking the ole' carcass back into gear :D [hopefully i won't torque anything - knock on the old wooden noggin' !!!]
	10:12am Miss G: Handy, your book on cider sounds good, thanks. I read a bit about cider in "The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine" By Todd Kliman 2011 (also a bunch about Mr. Jefferson and his vine adventures.)
	10:13am morphe': Handy - MICHAEL POLLAN's "Botany of Delight" has a great chapter on apples and Johnny Appleseed - imagining you already read it? Also, the marijuana chapter has a hilarious scene in which ...... involves a firewood delivery, a sheriff and POLLAN's wee marijuana plot
	♥ 10:16am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! Roddy!
	♥ 10:16am Yes: morning
	♥ 10:16am Pale Son: Huge soft spot for this band.
	10:17am morphe': I think YETI BOB might say marijuana goes good with cider.. When squatting in London in the '80s, some folks came back from Devon with "Real Cider" = farm made/no gas or additives. I got so excited ... To me it was godAwful..... my recollection of what I thought was "Tastes like boiled dirty sock?????"
	10:18am The Butterman: Mike W, Handy, ciders pair well with Soylent Green.
	♥ 10:18am I k e: Back issues here too! So I feel your pain, literally! Well, a similar pain. My dumb spine sure is a hassle, knocking on its neighbors’ doors without permission….
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: Sure, but what doesn't, Butterman?
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: Ha, thanks, Ike. Hi, Pete!
	10:20am morphe': Fabio had a back issue - removed from the subway on a stretcher if I heard correctly IKE - when I saw yer opening line "Back issues .." I thought ya were about to speak of magazines and journals - my mind revealing my age...
	10:21am TimBK: @ Joe McG, I think you'd really love that track, the album is so-so, but that song is a great combo of ELO and disco/funk.
	10:21am Miss G: Two weeks ago the nearby craft beer place sold me a Urbitarte Basque Cider -- wow, tart was correct!
	♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Yaye, Faye! Hoping she returns to the schedule at some point.
	10:23am morphe': ps. Devon Cider is called SCRUMPY
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Ken: I hope so, too, I'm a fan of what she does.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Miss G, there's a store here that sells Barrika Basque cider. SUPER dry and tart, sort of seltzer-level carbonation.
	10:27am Lixiviated Life: Dead poets are always on my side
	10:27am davefromtoronto: "a dreaded sunny day" lol
	♥ 10:27am katie: gorgeous set here. Thanks Joe!
	10:28am Mike W: The Haywains sound like a mellowed-out update on the McTells, indie/undie-pop stars of the ’80s/’90s
	10:28am Spinning Giant: Oh my...suddenly I'm a 15-year-old fresh-face high school newbie nerd again...lovely call, Joe...I was obsessed with this band for years but haven't listened in awhile...my go-to has always been and always will be "Louder Than Bombs" :D
	♥ 10:28am bloumejune: You're crushing me with this song. I guess some emotions don't ever leave...
	10:28am davefromtoronto: impressive how he fits those lyrics into a song
	10:29am morphe': Dry Spanish Cider - in Madrid - I've been getting an organic cider = $2.50 for a75ml bottle - it is like a cava or Prosecco ... goes great with Wake and Bake at Spanish noon..
	♥ 10:29am katie: Haywains with a nice break homage to the Who
	10:29am TimBK: I don't think The Smith's have one skippable song on any of their albums.
	10:31am johnk77: @joemcg great sets selecter @handyh thanks for book tip i went to johnny appleseed junior high sadly no longer in existence:<
	10:31am Spinning Giant: Yes, Joe, but that doesn't make the words you speak any less meaningful!
	10:32am The Butterman: Smirnostificate, I JUST made up a new word. I’m an original wordsmith!
	10:32am Mike W: I was wrong about the Haywains, they were contemporaries with the McTells!
	10:34am Spinning Giant: Joe McG - we must be the same age - I was also 13 in '85 - but didn't "discover" The Smiths myself til '87...
	10:35am Spinning Giant: @The Butterman - and the definition...?
	10:35am Jett: Still waiting for my swag, Early contributor, but I guess it doesn't make a difference how early you send the money. I guess you just have to wait.
	♥ 10:36am Webhamster Henry: TMBG- James K. Polk (probably wasn't ever a 45 though).
	10:36am Mike W.: If you have “Jimmy Carter Says ‘Yes’ “ on 45 then...
	♥ 10:36am spodiodi: '85 forever
	10:36am Mark in Toronto: Hey davefromtoronto!
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Hi, katie! @Tim: agree! @Jett: Can you e-mail me after the show? I'll find out the status of your swag.
	10:37am Spinning Giant: I am also waiting for my Swag, and just checked my account and realized I didn't update my mailing address when I moved in January! :$ I do have mail forwarding, so praying it will come through okay, eventually...
	10:38am davefromtoronto: howdy mark! toronto in the house!
	10:38am Ramona: Hi Joe, thanks for DJ-ing during the day off holiday! Great to hear your show while off from work! Late thanks for Jeff Sarge, Glen Jones and Suzy Hotrod working on the 4th!!
	10:38am Andres: Good morning! Re. The Queen Is Dead. I spent that summer ‘86 working as a cashier/attendant at an outdoor public pool. That cassette would get a daily play. Lifeguards loved it. Local kids HATED it. Classic rock fans they were.
	10:39am The Butterman: @spinning giant, I’m not that clever.
	10:39am davefromtoronto: embarrassed to admit i keep getting the math questions wrong...
	10:39am Miss G: L I think I saw The Long Ryders! I loved the Paisley Underground! Gingerly shaking the hips finally this AM, thanks Joe!
	10:39am Spinning Giant: Morning @Andres - LOVE that story, man!
	10:39am YETI BOB: I just got my swag late last week, of course it's about supporting the station, not the goodies, but I do appreciate the goodies. And I have to wear SOMETHING, it might as well be a cool WFMU T-shirt!
	10:40am Spinning Giant: @YetiBob - totally - I don't buy any other t-shirts anymore - working on building up a full roster of Woff-Moo tees to rock...and converting the progeny to the same ;D
	10:41am Miss G: Oh yes, thanks to Joe and all volunteers at the station, I got my swag last week and it is so great! Had 70 sublime minutes with Fabio's DJ premium yesterday afternoon.
	10:41am Andres: Hey, Spinning Giant! The kids were less offended by Depeche Mode it turned out :)
	10:41am Spinning Giant: *Woof-Moo LOL - I'm FIRED!
	10:42am Bill from RockTavern: Didn't you grow up near Gettysburg?
	10:42am Spinning Giant: @Andres LOL that's kinda weird - I know they all got lumped in the same stupid "Alternative" clategory, but they're SO different - I don't listen to DM anymore, still rock Smiths on occasion - I did see DM in '88 though - excellent and super-tight show
	10:43am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for the blast from the past! I remember hearing this song on WHYH
	10:44am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oops I meant WHTG. Stupid autocorrect!
	10:45am Mark in Toronto: Dave, 543 + 9 = ?
	10:45am Jett: Will do @JoeMcG
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Bill: Nope, not too near.
	10:46am YETI BOB: Oh man this is unbelievable. American Revolution / CB Trucker crossover ... how did they come up with this one? Damn.
	♥ 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bicentennial...
	10:47am davefromtoronto: 551! i'm back baby!
	10:47am Miss G: Because I lived through the Bicentennial, I recommend the great Pretender's video for "Night in My Veins" (1994) for a look at what it was like then.
	10:47am phat in Lincoln: Not enough CB oriented songs these days.
	10:48am YETI BOB: RevRab: I was 12 when Uncle Sam turned 200, even at that age I was a bit skeptical of all the weird patriotic hoopla.
	10:48am theia: still raining
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Dave, where are you typing from in this vast city of ours?
	10:48am Bill from Rock Tavern: Must have you confused with someone else .
	♥ 10:49am McGroovey: Trucker songs were my favorite, when I was 11 or 12. I like to say that the first two records I bought with my own money were the Beach Boys live album "Wow! Great Concert!" and Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma", but actually the first one was a collection of hit trucker songs. I still have all three, yes
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Bill: Me and William Hancock are often confused! :)
	10:50am Lixiviated Life: @Mark in Toronto Nobody told me there would be arithmetic involved. I'm gonna need more time.
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was 12 most of 1976 too... Had already been exposed via an older sibling to all the counter-cultural skepticism re Patriotism - indeed I'm steeped in it - Vietnam & Watergate from formative years...
	10:51am Emily: You’re gonna make me cry, Joe
	10:52am Andres: Spinning Giant: There was a real CFNY vs Q107 divide back then. I’m sure our Toronto friends here remember those days.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: Sad song, Emily!
	10:52am phat in Lincoln: Am I the only one who loves just about everything he's heard from Dion except this?
	10:52am Mark in Toronto: I highly recommend the movie "1976" starring David Cassidy and the MacDonald brothers of Redd Cross.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Strandlund: I haven't heard this for years...Thanks Joe!!
	10:53am davefromtoronto: mark i'm northeast - you know where fairview mall is?
	10:53am Spinning Giant: @Andres - indeed! Back when CFNY was actually cool...
	♥ 10:53am Webhamster Henry: Steinski!
	♥ 10:53am Officer Pupp: ONE OF MY ALL_TIME FAVOURITES!!
	10:54am Miss G: RRN63 I think you are my little sister's age -- we are "Irish triplets" (me eldest.) Yes, Watergate formed me. Oh! I am enjoying your astrology you posted at Wake. (I can type because I took the headphones off for this sad song.)
	10:54am Mark in Toronto: Andres: Listened only to CFNY thru the 70s and 80s. What was funny was when you started to hear songs on Q107 that they used to make fun of.
	10:54am davefromtoronto: what do joe and jfk have in common?
	♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MissG: Glad someone is !
	10:54am YETI BOB: @MarkYYZ: do you mean "The Spirit of '76" ?
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Dave, I'm working at Yorkdale Mall
	10:55am chresti: Hi joe and noise company!
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Sorry, you are correct Sir!
	10:55am Johnny Staten Island: Love this set. I graduated HS the year of the Bicentennial. Dion song is poignant as it gets.
	10:57am Miss G: RRN63: I mean, "enjoy" with the Saturn and Uranus situation is a matter of taste I suppose. . .<G>
	10:57am YETI BOB: MarkYYZ: I just couldn't find a movie called "1976". This one sounds pretty wild though: "By the year 2176, a magnetic storm has degaussed all recorded history".
	10:57am phat in Lincoln: I think maybe this Steinski is more my speed. Lol.
	10:57am davefromtoronto: yeah you're on the other side of the DVP from me. the mall's reopened?
	10:57am Andres: Mark in T.O.: When the Spirit of Radio became The Edge that was it for me. Thankfully I had found CIUT and it’s brethren by then.
	10:58am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Any movie involving time travel peaks my interest, and it's directed by Rob Reiner.
	10:58am davefromtoronto: are you toronto guys old enough to remember when chum fm played entire sides of albums?
	10:59am chresti: I moved to LA from Santa Maria, CA in June 1976, 18yo going on 19.
	10:59am Mark in Toronto: Andres: This is basically the only station I listen to anymore.
	10:59am YETI BOB: "Directed by Lucas Reiner". (Not trying to be a know-it-all, J just have the IMDB page open)
	10:59am Mark in Toronto: Dave: Yes the mall is open again, with restricted access.
	11:00am Spinning Giant: @DaveYYZ - not quite @MarkYYZ - Ditto, brother - I can't listen to commercial radio anymore...
	11:00am YETI BOB: Sofia Coppola did the costumes. I think I'm going to watch this
	11:00am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Yes, his son. It is a funny movie, I just can't remember the facts.
	11:00am Miss G: chresti, LA 1976 sounds like some fun times! Rodney on the ROQ!
	11:01am Spinning Giant: and I've lost touch with local community radio for the most part...
	11:01am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: I believe I rewatched it on YouTube.
	11:01am YETI BOB: thanks for the movie recommend, looks like fun, i need something frivolous and non-disturbing to watch :)
	♥ 11:02am Hoboken Jack: Hey Joe, McGroove, Jeff, Spodi, HP Ken, Handy, Bagpipe, Krys, Peeeeete!!, all!
	11:02am Miss G: Wow Freda is not just a band of gold, this song is amazing.
	11:02am phat in Lincoln: @YETI BOB Box office$52,310. Yikes
	11:02am Jett: I was so into Freda Payne when this single came out. I played it so much as a kid on my stereo. Great sentiment!!!
	♥ 11:02am spodiodi: hey Jack!
	11:03am chresti: Miss G, my friend Joe Nanini, (also from Santa Maria), liked to taunt Rodney whenever he saw him!
	♥ 11:04am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Bagpipe is out on a run with Kate. Did you catch his radio debut on Bad Animals on Sat. morning?
	♥ 11:05am Webhamster Henry: Good Ol' Steve Post used to like the Nixon Novelty tunes.
	11:05am Miss G: Funny, chresti! I enjoyed the docu "Mayor of the Sunset Strip"
	11:06am YETI BOB: that song reminded me that i need to water my plants!
	11:06am Andres: Dave from T.O.: The first time I tuned into CFNY the skeptical DJ played both side of Queen’s The Works and then declared them to be back!
	11:06am phat in Lincoln: @Webhamster Henry there were a lot of them!
	11:07am Ramona: This song by Loretta Lynn is awesome!
	11:08am Miss G: Last night in my film Lou Andreas-Salomé yelled at Friedrich Nietzsche "I'm not your brood mare!" when he tried to convince her they'd have genius children. Yay Loretta!
	11:09am Kevin Costigan: This extremely inspiring and rockin' programming, is what radio should be like! Thank you bro!
	11:10am chresti: Miss G, ha, I like the term “show pony” too
	11:11am morphe': Got some kitchen prep and cooking to do... Community FYI: Kate of the Kate/BagPipe/Handy trio and the trio CREEK AND KILLS has a gig Thursday Creek and Kills (Kate, Erin, and Marc) SHOW DETAILS: @ Mama Tried 787 3rd Avenue (between 26th and 27th Streets, Sunset Park, Brooklyn) NO COVER 7pm CRUEL CHILDREN 8pm JANE DOE ENSEMBLE 9pm CREEK AND KILLS Outdoor, backyard show
	11:12am morphe': Who said that Nixon Camelot quote???
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: Miss G, I keep meaning to watch that! Gotta remember harder. That was a great Single File, Joe! It could have kept on going!
	♥ 11:16am spodiodi: Handy, thanks for sharing that Bagpipe link, btw! (i wanted to check to see if the audio was from the video you once shared before thanking you. finally did so, and the results are inconclusive, as the original link is kaput. no matter, was to satisfy my curiosity.) TL;DR: Bagpipe is adorable. (and pigs can't be trusted)
	11:16am P-90: What?!!! No Hurst? That slacker….
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Same audio, spodi! You can tell by my cackling in the background.
	11:17am Miss G: HH, re: Lou Andreas-Salomé, unless you speak German you have to sit close to the screen and keep your finger on the pause button for the subtitles. But it's worth it!
	♥ 11:19am Baja Joe: Mark Hurst is hands down wonderful
	♥ 11:21am spodiodi: Handy, my curiosity sends it's best to you and your hound, sir :-B makes me laugh just thinking about it :)
	11:22am Stevel: Damn good harp! Really.
	♥ 11:24am DjLorraine: Gmorning Joe McG and listeners
	♥ 11:26am I k e: @morphe@10:20, I was going to make a joke about back issues of Option magazine or something, but I hadn’t had a cup of tea yet so I couldn’t quite work out the pun….
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Ike: I wore my old Option T-shirt last week.
	11:27am TerrDE: Hey Joe , Its a Korean Harp, a Gauguin. Played by Luna Lee on YouTube. She covers rock tunes, w a rock feel to her playing. Voodoo Chile is a standout as are many including a ZZ Top boogie. She can bend strings so her Blues covers are excellent as well.
	11:30am morphe': Joe McG -Who said that Nixon Camelot quote???
	♥ 11:31am Webhamster Henry: @morphe': Congressman William Hungate en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @morphe: William L. Hungate
	11:32am morphe': Thanks Web H & JMcG
	♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Well, I read about 80 pages, and it's been great relaxing with Surface Noise. But I guess I oughta get something done today. Maybe I'll start with making lunch ...
	♥ 11:37am chris_in_space: Always love the way you ease us into the week, @joe.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @chris: Easing is always better to me than breaking down the door. Glad you enjoy!
	♥ 11:41am Rob W: Ah lovely stuff from Boubacar "Badian" Diabate - and I did not know of the Philp Tabane reissue, what a distinctive style he had... and great segue between the two by the way Joe.
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: I got dressed. That's something! No point in making lunch till Kate the the dog are back ... just gonna pick up my book ...
	11:42am phat in Lincoln: @I k e wait. I'm I not the only one who keeps his back issues of Option and misses that magazine?
	♥ 11:42am suzyhotrod: Ah Joe. I’m sitting in my backyard watching birds, drinking coffee and snuggling my dog. This music is the perfect soundtrack
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: @Joe McG I would pay good(ish) money for an Option t-shirt.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: Thanks, Rob, nice to see you! Hey, Suzy! Sounds like the ideal morniing, congrats on your new old pup!
	11:44am Miss G: Oh, it's getting late. OK I never posted this before, but some might find helpful "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Book" by Clair Davies (there are also tons of various YT videos online.) Sometimes clearing up the trigger points in the chest, which develop because we've all been hunched over our computers, it helps the lower back to get back into place. You don't need a second human for the chest pokes. . . .Thank you Joe for an interesting morning! Feel better!
	♥ 11:45am Handy Haversack: suzyhotrod, we'll be taking the public out in the big canoes on Newtown Creek on Saturday. 12-4, under the Pulaski Bridge. You can bring your dog! Bagpipe will probably be there, too.
	11:46am morphe': Handy - have ya read that Pollan Bk "Botany of Desire"? I might still have my copy to give ya?
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well there's a bit of a voice.
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: Nope, morph, never seen it!
	♥ 11:48am steve-b: aww, lovely to hear cath and phil! hoping it's not going to be long before i can get to sacred harp singings again
	11:48am Spinning Giant: @suzyhotrod...sounds divine...I'm taking breaks from my work to sneak in those moments, minus the pooch...
	11:49am Spinning Giant: @Miss G - sounds like a useful book - I will check it out - thanks!
	♥ 11:49am Officer Pupp: The peerless Cath and Phil!
	11:50am Mark in Toronto: phat: Also have a large collection of Options, as well as my Trouser Press, old Creems, and now way too many Mojos. Also kept too many of that free mag that Tower used to put out.
	11:51am Mike W.: This is the only station I listen to as well, but it keeps getting harder to tune in
	♥ 11:52am suzyhotrod: @handy I’m in! I’ll add to my calendar and hopefully bring a few pals too.
	11:52am TDK60: Hi Joe.
	♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Awesome, Suzy! I'll be there all day, and K8 and BP should be down there no later than 1, I'd think.
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Sorry for ending with these bummer folk songs about unrequited love. Joe B. will soon be here to pep you up again! Have a great week and see you next time.
	♥ 11:53am 12539: Thanks for the great RayDeeOh, Joe!
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Great show and great ending, Joe! Really, really glad to have been here. Thanks so much! Later on, Surfactants!
	♥ 11:54am theia: great show!
	11:54am Spinning Giant: Great show Joe - thank you!!!
	♥ 11:56am Uncle Michael: I'm sad this is ending.
	11:56am TDK60: Aw come on, bummer folks songs are high on my list of fun.
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: thanks for the music, Joe! hope your back improves
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: @Mark in Toronto I'm not the only one! I wish there were something as good as Trouser or Option nowadays.
	♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry: You can bum yourself out with folk songs every week on Continental Subway on the Drummer Stream, as David Dichelle goes though renditions of Roud Folk song Indexed tunes.
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Let me update my database before I forget. Joe = harp. Marty McSorley = KARP.
	♥ 11:58am Handy Haversack: Feel better, Joe!
	11:59am Chicago: Thanks and feel better ~
	♥ 11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY JoeMcG ! Relax them muscles.
	12:00pm TerrDE: Good bye Joe, Hello Joe

	♥ 9:15am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and all!
	9:16am Miss G: Thank you for such a beautiful set Joe. Helps me enter the day, so groggy after resorting to chemical sleep for last night. After so many wall-shaking booms, I found out I could have actually seen the fireworks if I had walked downstairs and a block to the right. Oh well.
	♥ 9:17am Joe McG: @Miss G: Happy to help out with the mellow morning sounds! I know some people probably had a rough night last night, sleepwise.
	9:21am YETI BOB: a whole bunch of stuff i never heard before, or even heard of. nice set, joe.
	9:24am YETI BOB: OK, I've heard of Mogwai ...

	9:34am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!!! ❤️
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Hey, Coco! :)
	♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GittarBalm ...apply liberally with the dominant hand in a saw-like motion - wiggling fingers periodically - move non-dominant hand laterally & same with fingers perhaps more rapidly...
	♥ 9:37am I k e: Love it!
	♥ 9:38am LastWhiteRhino: Hey Joe, where does an Egyptian go for help with his back pain??? To the "Cairo"practor !
	♥ 9:38am wessexbonbon: Is it me, or did that Hayvanlar Alemi beauty by Bahar Patlatan remind you of Television circa their Marquee Moon era?
	♥ 9:39am Joe McG: @LWR: Ha! Don't make me laugh, it will hurt.
	9:40am The Butterman: Joe, didn’t Clay recommend Doans Pills for your back. How did he forget that one? He’s obsessed with Doans.
	♥ 9:41am wessexbonbon: (sorry I transposed the artist/track in my comment above)
	♥ 9:41am Baja Joe: Hidey Ho Joe!
	♥ 9:41am Joe McG: @Butterman: I think I might have some St. Joseph's aspirin upstairs in my desk.
	♥ 9:43am Joe McG: @wesbon: Yes, I can definitely hear that in there. Hiya, Baja Joe! We have a nice intimate group today, there's time to say hello to everybody...even Ike! Hi, Ike!
	♥ 9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We think of big time grownup cures & painkillers so much maybe we forget ...you could take a couple aspirin. I mean - they're hard enuff on the stomach & liver as it is...
	♥ 9:43am Pale Son: Man, that Godspeed was beautiful. Gotta pick that one up!
	9:44am araiguma: it is their best record in a long time
	9:46am Spinning Giant: Top o' the mornin', Joe! Howdy, gang! Sunny & Sultry up here in Southern Ontario today...
	♥ 9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonderful tones making me feel a fraud for using so much Gain & playing Loud whenever I turn the amp on. But it's just so much fun ...til it isn't I guess...
	9:46am Mike W: Sorry to hear about your back, Joe, it is a terrible pain vector.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: @RR63: The next song is for you!
	♥ 9:47am Handy Haversack: I am trying to take full advantage of this day off. Mellowing with Joe sounds and reading a new book about the history of American cider. Chilling. Out.
	9:47am Mike W: Handy lighting the way on this dog day afterfireworks
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike. It's so freakish. I've been feeling great for almost a year, and then one tug of a record bag and I'm lousy. You baby it forever, get better, and forget, and then whammo, here we go again.
	♥ 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: First Fabio and now Joe. I hope back troubles aren't contagious!
	♥ 9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Get drunk in a hot tub. Don't drown or anything...
	♥ 9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...smoke some Damiana herb - w/ CBD...
	9:50am Gruff: Loving the reverb
	9:50am Layet Johnson: Morning Joe, love the show!
	♥ 9:50am Pale Son: I suffer from regular back issues too. FWIW, I find exercise the most effective preventative, as opposed to stretching, which offers some relief when things get bad.
	9:51am P-90: Thanks for always being here on Mondays @Joe McG, even the three-day-weekend holidays. In Times Like These, the little pockets of consistency and reliability can mean more than ever to we huddled masses yearning to hear freeform.
	9:52am Mike W: Heat, painkillers, light stretching...if you’re anything like me you woke up one day and realized you were Much Older Than Before and that things like stretching and whatever body management routines work for you are now like food. Gotta have them every day. (I don’t, I’m still stuck in the know-I-should stage...) A heating pad, even on a hot day, is always the most immediate source of relief for me (even as I case my friendbase for anyone with leftover vicodin etc.).
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: Thanks for the good advice, Pale Son! I haven't been on the bike lately, so that hasn't helped. @P-90: Love to be here no matter what day it is! @Layet: Thanks!
	♥ 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Put on a long track and scoot on over to Brookstone and pick up a pair of inversion boots?
	♥ 9:53am Handy Haversack: As the song for you started playing, Rev Rab, I read the words "Lebanon, NH," in my book!
	9:53am Buck Nicklepenny: Good Morning DJ Surface Noise with Joe McGasko. I do love me some prog surface pop and scratch reverb tremelo.
	♥ 9:53am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha ha! @Mike: I'll get some heat on it once I get home today. @Buck Nicklepenny: Good moniker.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - what are they saying ?
	9:55am Mike W: Irregardless (sic) we’re always grateful for the sounds you bring, and all the more so now that you’re playing through pain. Willis Reed, Kirk Gibson, every hockey player still standing when the Cup Finals come around, and now Joe McG.
	♥ 9:55am Will the Sound Guy: I agree, I have to keep moving and doing stuff. I fractured my L5 when I was 12. It's never been right since. Does it feel muscular, or skeletal? I've tried accupuncture which does work for a while. If I'm really bad, I go see my chiropractor. Feel better Joe McG!
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: Talking about Poverty Lane Orchard and its planting cider apple trees instead of just commercial MacIntoshes.
	9:57am davefromtoronto: morning joe and fellow surfacers - enjoying the show very much.
	9:58am Buck Nicklepenny: My back will go out once every year or two. Usually after lying in bed for two or three days (depression) then my muscles lose tightness....then afterward the unexpected back trauma. I have started to keep an old-folks walker around just in case.
	♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy oh yes. Is it the Michael Pollin book ? Botany of Desire...
	9:59am Buck Nicklepenny: Don't worry though the walker is painted a sexy metalflake red. I am sure it a real 'babe magnet'.
	♥ 9:59am spodiodi: don't forget the flames and fuzzy dice, Buck (i keep a pair of crutches for the same reason)
	♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: American Cider, by Pucci and Cavallo.
	10:00am theia: "It's always gonna be something with you Joe"
	10:00am morphe': "I DO DECLARE >>> IT IS GETTING A BIT DJANGO REINHARDT-ish IN HERE>>>"
	10:02am Buck Nicklepenny: Haha I like that fuzzy dice hanging. The flames would be too racy, I would always be challenged to racing around the aisles of walmart!
	♥ 10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy yeah - they're taking a risk standing up to Monocultures - unlike McDonalds & their fry potatoes - & what doomed the Irish in the famine... Dust Bowl, &tc.
	10:03am MplsCoco: oh no Slo Mo Joke!
	10:03am MplsCoco: *Joe
	10:04am morphe': amerika = Malcolm X siad "Don't talk about racism in the South, if you live south of the Canadian border you live in the south..." Frederick Douglass' 4th of July Speech is worth a read/listen: https://www.newsweek.com/what-slave-fourth-july-speech-famous-people-frederick-douglass-speech-1606478
	10:05am Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’m off from work today & im digging the show Joe!!
	10:08am Mike W: Handy, not being an experienced cider imbiber, what does — or does it at all? — (it must) — it pair with from the edible foods category?
	10:08am Mike W: I might just have graham crackers with cider. A box of graham crackers and a country jug of cider. Keep your fingers and toes away from my mouth.
	♥ 10:09am wessexbonbon: Do you ever play Dove by Cymande? It's lovely funky.
	♥ 10:10am 12539: Joe, several internet sources say about DH: dedicated to Dirk Hugsam, an independent tour agent affiliated with Constellation Records who had become a close friend to many of the bands on the roster; he died peacefully in December 2018 after a long illness.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: @12539: Thank you, that's great information.
	10:10am Spinning Giant: Mike W - Noted! LOL
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: Sounds like a plan, Mike W! I'm no expert on that sort of thing, but I guess anything you'd have with white wine? Strong cheeses, garlicky pastas and sauces, spicy potatoes? All seem reasonable to me? But maybe that's just because those are things I like to eat? Maybe I'm just hungry!
	10:11am TimBK: This song sounds like ELO's Last Train to London.
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @TimBK: Hm, I don't know that one, I'll have to investigate!
	10:12am Spinning Giant: Groovy tunes, this mornin', Joe - I am not on holiday - actually starting a new contract today and this mix is the perfect companion for kicking the ole' carcass back into gear :D [hopefully i won't torque anything - knock on the old wooden noggin' !!!]
	10:12am Miss G: Handy, your book on cider sounds good, thanks. I read a bit about cider in "The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine" By Todd Kliman 2011 (also a bunch about Mr. Jefferson and his vine adventures.)
	10:13am morphe': Handy - MICHAEL POLLAN's "Botany of Delight" has a great chapter on apples and Johnny Appleseed - imagining you already read it? Also, the marijuana chapter has a hilarious scene in which ...... involves a firewood delivery, a sheriff and POLLAN's wee marijuana plot
	♥ 10:16am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone! Roddy!
	♥ 10:16am Yes: morning
	♥ 10:16am Pale Son: Huge soft spot for this band.
	10:17am morphe': I think YETI BOB might say marijuana goes good with cider.. When squatting in London in the '80s, some folks came back from Devon with "Real Cider" = farm made/no gas or additives. I got so excited ... To me it was godAwful..... my recollection of what I thought was "Tastes like boiled dirty sock?????"
	10:18am The Butterman: Mike W, Handy, ciders pair well with Soylent Green.
	♥ 10:18am I k e: Back issues here too! So I feel your pain, literally! Well, a similar pain. My dumb spine sure is a hassle, knocking on its neighbors’ doors without permission….
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: Sure, but what doesn't, Butterman?
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: Ha, thanks, Ike. Hi, Pete!
	10:20am morphe': Fabio had a back issue - removed from the subway on a stretcher if I heard correctly IKE - when I saw yer opening line "Back issues .." I thought ya were about to speak of magazines and journals - my mind revealing my age...
	10:21am TimBK: @ Joe McG, I think you'd really love that track, the album is so-so, but that song is a great combo of ELO and disco/funk.
	10:21am Miss G: Two weeks ago the nearby craft beer place sold me a Urbitarte Basque Cider -- wow, tart was correct!
	♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Yaye, Faye! Hoping she returns to the schedule at some point.
	10:23am morphe': ps. Devon Cider is called SCRUMPY
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Ken: I hope so, too, I'm a fan of what she does.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Miss G, there's a store here that sells Barrika Basque cider. SUPER dry and tart, sort of seltzer-level carbonation.
	10:27am Lixiviated Life: Dead poets are always on my side
	10:27am davefromtoronto: "a dreaded sunny day" lol
	♥ 10:27am katie: gorgeous set here. Thanks Joe!
	10:28am Mike W: The Haywains sound like a mellowed-out update on the McTells, indie/undie-pop stars of the ’80s/’90s
	10:28am Spinning Giant: Oh my...suddenly I'm a 15-year-old fresh-face high school newbie nerd again...lovely call, Joe...I was obsessed with this band for years but haven't listened in awhile...my go-to has always been and always will be "Louder Than Bombs" :D
	♥ 10:28am bloumejune: You're crushing me with this song. I guess some emotions don't ever leave...
	10:28am davefromtoronto: impressive how he fits those lyrics into a song
	10:29am morphe': Dry Spanish Cider - in Madrid - I've been getting an organic cider = $2.50 for a75ml bottle - it is like a cava or Prosecco ... goes great with Wake and Bake at Spanish noon..
	♥ 10:29am katie: Haywains with a nice break homage to the Who
	10:29am TimBK: I don't think The Smith's have one skippable song on any of their albums.
	10:31am johnk77: @joemcg great sets selecter @handyh thanks for book tip i went to johnny appleseed junior high sadly no longer in existence:<
	10:31am Spinning Giant: Yes, Joe, but that doesn't make the words you speak any less meaningful!
	10:32am The Butterman: Smirnostificate, I JUST made up a new word. I’m an original wordsmith!
	10:32am Mike W: I was wrong about the Haywains, they were contemporaries with the McTells!
	10:34am Spinning Giant: Joe McG - we must be the same age - I was also 13 in '85 - but didn't "discover" The Smiths myself til '87...
	10:35am Spinning Giant: @The Butterman - and the definition...?
	10:35am Jett: Still waiting for my swag, Early contributor, but I guess it doesn't make a difference how early you send the money. I guess you just have to wait.
	♥ 10:36am Webhamster Henry: TMBG- James K. Polk (probably wasn't ever a 45 though).
	10:36am Mike W.: If you have “Jimmy Carter Says ‘Yes’ “ on 45 then...
	♥ 10:36am spodiodi: '85 forever
	10:36am Mark in Toronto: Hey davefromtoronto!
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Hi, katie! @Tim: agree! @Jett: Can you e-mail me after the show? I'll find out the status of your swag.
	10:37am Spinning Giant: I am also waiting for my Swag, and just checked my account and realized I didn't update my mailing address when I moved in January! :$ I do have mail forwarding, so praying it will come through okay, eventually...
	10:38am davefromtoronto: howdy mark! toronto in the house!
	10:38am Ramona: Hi Joe, thanks for DJ-ing during the day off holiday! Great to hear your show while off from work! Late thanks for Jeff Sarge, Glen Jones and Suzy Hotrod working on the 4th!!
	10:38am Andres: Good morning! Re. The Queen Is Dead. I spent that summer ‘86 working as a cashier/attendant at an outdoor public pool. That cassette would get a daily play. Lifeguards loved it. Local kids HATED it. Classic rock fans they were.
	10:39am The Butterman: @spinning giant, I’m not that clever.
	10:39am davefromtoronto: embarrassed to admit i keep getting the math questions wrong...
	10:39am Miss G: L I think I saw The Long Ryders! I loved the Paisley Underground! Gingerly shaking the hips finally this AM, thanks Joe!
	10:39am Spinning Giant: Morning @Andres - LOVE that story, man!
	10:39am YETI BOB: I just got my swag late last week, of course it's about supporting the station, not the goodies, but I do appreciate the goodies. And I have to wear SOMETHING, it might as well be a cool WFMU T-shirt!
	10:40am Spinning Giant: @YetiBob - totally - I don't buy any other t-shirts anymore - working on building up a full roster of Woff-Moo tees to rock...and converting the progeny to the same ;D
	10:41am Miss G: Oh yes, thanks to Joe and all volunteers at the station, I got my swag last week and it is so great! Had 70 sublime minutes with Fabio's DJ premium yesterday afternoon.
	10:41am Andres: Hey, Spinning Giant! The kids were less offended by Depeche Mode it turned out :)
	10:41am Spinning Giant: *Woof-Moo LOL - I'm FIRED!
	10:42am Bill from RockTavern: Didn't you grow up near Gettysburg?
	10:42am Spinning Giant: @Andres LOL that's kinda weird - I know they all got lumped in the same stupid "Alternative" clategory, but they're SO different - I don't listen to DM anymore, still rock Smiths on occasion - I did see DM in '88 though - excellent and super-tight show
	10:43am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for the blast from the past! I remember hearing this song on WHYH
	10:44am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oops I meant WHTG. Stupid autocorrect!
	10:45am Mark in Toronto: Dave, 543 + 9 = ?
	10:45am Jett: Will do @JoeMcG
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Bill: Nope, not too near.
	10:46am YETI BOB: Oh man this is unbelievable. American Revolution / CB Trucker crossover ... how did they come up with this one? Damn.
	♥ 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bicentennial...
	10:47am davefromtoronto: 551! i'm back baby!
	10:47am Miss G: Because I lived through the Bicentennial, I recommend the great Pretender's video for "Night in My Veins" (1994) for a look at what it was like then.
	10:47am phat in Lincoln: Not enough CB oriented songs these days.
	10:48am YETI BOB: RevRab: I was 12 when Uncle Sam turned 200, even at that age I was a bit skeptical of all the weird patriotic hoopla.
	10:48am theia: still raining
	10:48am Mark in Toronto: Dave, where are you typing from in this vast city of ours?
	10:48am Bill from Rock Tavern: Must have you confused with someone else .
	♥ 10:49am McGroovey: Trucker songs were my favorite, when I was 11 or 12. I like to say that the first two records I bought with my own money were the Beach Boys live album "Wow! Great Concert!" and Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma", but actually the first one was a collection of hit trucker songs. I still have all three, yes
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Bill: Me and William Hancock are often confused! :)
	10:50am Lixiviated Life: @Mark in Toronto Nobody told me there would be arithmetic involved. I'm gonna need more time.
	♥ 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was 12 most of 1976 too... Had already been exposed via an older sibling to all the counter-cultural skepticism re Patriotism - indeed I'm steeped in it - Vietnam & Watergate from formative years...
	10:51am Emily: You’re gonna make me cry, Joe
	10:52am Andres: Spinning Giant: There was a real CFNY vs Q107 divide back then. I’m sure our Toronto friends here remember those days.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: Sad song, Emily!
	10:52am phat in Lincoln: Am I the only one who loves just about everything he's heard from Dion except this?
	10:52am Mark in Toronto: I highly recommend the movie "1976" starring David Cassidy and the MacDonald brothers of Redd Cross.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53am Strandlund: I haven't heard this for years...Thanks Joe!!
	10:53am davefromtoronto: mark i'm northeast - you know where fairview mall is?
	10:53am Spinning Giant: @Andres - indeed! Back when CFNY was actually cool...
	♥ 10:53am Webhamster Henry: Steinski!
	♥ 10:53am Officer Pupp: ONE OF MY ALL_TIME FAVOURITES!!
	10:54am Miss G: RRN63 I think you are my little sister's age -- we are "Irish triplets" (me eldest.) Yes, Watergate formed me. Oh! I am enjoying your astrology you posted at Wake. (I can type because I took the headphones off for this sad song.)
	10:54am Mark in Toronto: Andres: Listened only to CFNY thru the 70s and 80s. What was funny was when you started to hear songs on Q107 that they used to make fun of.
	10:54am davefromtoronto: what do joe and jfk have in common?
	♥ 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MissG: Glad someone is !
	10:54am YETI BOB: @MarkYYZ: do you mean "The Spirit of '76" ?
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Dave, I'm working at Yorkdale Mall
	10:55am chresti: Hi joe and noise company!
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Sorry, you are correct Sir!
	10:55am Johnny Staten Island: Love this set. I graduated HS the year of the Bicentennial. Dion song is poignant as it gets.
	10:57am Miss G: RRN63: I mean, "enjoy" with the Saturn and Uranus situation is a matter of taste I suppose. . .<G>
	10:57am YETI BOB: MarkYYZ: I just couldn't find a movie called "1976". This one sounds pretty wild though: "By the year 2176, a magnetic storm has degaussed all recorded history".
	10:57am phat in Lincoln: I think maybe this Steinski is more my speed. Lol.
	10:57am davefromtoronto: yeah you're on the other side of the DVP from me. the mall's reopened?
	10:57am Andres: Mark in T.O.: When the Spirit of Radio became The Edge that was it for me. Thankfully I had found CIUT and it’s brethren by then.
	10:58am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Any movie involving time travel peaks my interest, and it's directed by Rob Reiner.
	10:58am davefromtoronto: are you toronto guys old enough to remember when chum fm played entire sides of albums?
	10:59am chresti: I moved to LA from Santa Maria, CA in June 1976, 18yo going on 19.
	10:59am Mark in Toronto: Andres: This is basically the only station I listen to anymore.
	10:59am YETI BOB: "Directed by Lucas Reiner". (Not trying to be a know-it-all, J just have the IMDB page open)
	10:59am Mark in Toronto: Dave: Yes the mall is open again, with restricted access.
	11:00am Spinning Giant: @DaveYYZ - not quite @MarkYYZ - Ditto, brother - I can't listen to commercial radio anymore...
	11:00am YETI BOB: Sofia Coppola did the costumes. I think I'm going to watch this
	11:00am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: Yes, his son. It is a funny movie, I just can't remember the facts.
	11:00am Miss G: chresti, LA 1976 sounds like some fun times! Rodney on the ROQ!
	11:01am Spinning Giant: and I've lost touch with local community radio for the most part...
	11:01am Mark in Toronto: Yeti Bob: I believe I rewatched it on YouTube.
	11:01am YETI BOB: thanks for the movie recommend, looks like fun, i need something frivolous and non-disturbing to watch :)
	♥ 11:02am Hoboken Jack: Hey Joe, McGroove, Jeff, Spodi, HP Ken, Handy, Bagpipe, Krys, Peeeeete!!, all!
	11:02am Miss G: Wow Freda is not just a band of gold, this song is amazing.
	11:02am phat in Lincoln: @YETI BOB Box office$52,310. Yikes
	11:02am Jett: I was so into Freda Payne when this single came out. I played it so much as a kid on my stereo. Great sentiment!!!
	♥ 11:02am spodiodi: hey Jack!
	11:03am chresti: Miss G, my friend Joe Nanini, (also from Santa Maria), liked to taunt Rodney whenever he saw him!
	♥ 11:04am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Bagpipe is out on a run with Kate. Did you catch his radio debut on Bad Animals on Sat. morning?
	♥ 11:05am Webhamster Henry: Good Ol' Steve Post used to like the Nixon Novelty tunes.
	11:05am Miss G: Funny, chresti! I enjoyed the docu "Mayor of the Sunset Strip"
	11:06am YETI BOB: that song reminded me that i need to water my plants!
	11:06am Andres: Dave from T.O.: The first time I tuned into CFNY the skeptical DJ played both side of Queen’s The Works and then declared them to be back!
	11:06am phat in Lincoln: @Webhamster Henry there were a lot of them!
	11:07am Ramona: This song by Loretta Lynn is awesome!
	11:08am Miss G: Last night in my film Lou Andreas-Salomé yelled at Friedrich Nietzsche "I'm not your brood mare!" when he tried to convince her they'd have genius children. Yay Loretta!
	11:09am Kevin Costigan: This extremely inspiring and rockin' programming, is what radio should be like! Thank you bro!
	11:10am chresti: Miss G, ha, I like the term “show pony” too
	11:11am morphe': Got some kitchen prep and cooking to do...

	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: Miss G, I keep meaning to watch that! Gotta remember harder. That was a great Single File, Joe! It could have kept on going!
	♥ 11:16am spodiodi: Handy, thanks for sharing that Bagpipe link, btw! (i wanted to check to see if the audio was from the video you once shared before thanking you. finally did so, and the results are inconclusive, as the original link is kaput. no matter, was to satisfy my curiosity.) TL;DR: Bagpipe is adorable. (and pigs can't be trusted)
	11:16am P-90: What?!!! No Hurst? That slacker….
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Same audio, spodi! You can tell by my cackling in the background.
	11:17am Miss G: HH, re: Lou Andreas-Salomé, unless you speak German you have to sit close to the screen and keep your finger on the pause button for the subtitles. But it's worth it!
	♥ 11:19am Baja Joe: Mark Hurst is hands down wonderful
	♥ 11:21am spodiodi: Handy, my curiosity sends it's best to you and your hound, sir :-B makes me laugh just thinking about it :)
	11:22am Stevel: Damn good harp! Really.
	♥ 11:24am DjLorraine: Gmorning Joe McG and listeners
	♥ 11:26am I k e: @morphe@10:20, I was going to make a joke about back issues of Option magazine or something, but I hadn’t had a cup of tea yet so I couldn’t quite work out the pun….
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: @Ike: I wore my old Option T-shirt last week.
	11:27am TerrDE: Hey Joe , Its a Korean Harp, a Gauguin. Played by Luna Lee on YouTube. She covers rock tunes, w a rock feel to her playing. Voodoo Chile is a standout as are many including a ZZ Top boogie. She can bend strings so her Blues covers are excellent as well.
	11:30am morphe': Joe McG -Who said that Nixon Camelot quote???
	♥ 11:31am Webhamster Henry: @morphe': Congressman William Hungate en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @morphe: William L. Hungate
	11:32am morphe': Thanks Web H & JMcG
	♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Well, I read about 80 pages, and it's been great relaxing with Surface Noise. But I guess I oughta get something done today. Maybe I'll start with making lunch ...
	♥ 11:37am chris_in_space: Always love the way you ease us into the week, @joe.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @chris: Easing is always better to me than breaking down the door. Glad you enjoy!
	♥ 11:41am Rob W: Ah lovely stuff from Boubacar "Badian" Diabate - and I did not know of the Philp Tabane reissue, what a distinctive style he had... and great segue between the two by the way Joe.
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: I got dressed. That's something! No point in making lunch till Kate the the dog are back ... just gonna pick up my book ...
	11:42am phat in Lincoln: @I k e wait. I'm I not the only one who keeps his back issues of Option and misses that magazine?
	♥ 11:42am suzyhotrod: Ah Joe. I’m sitting in my backyard watching birds, drinking coffee and snuggling my dog. This music is the perfect soundtrack
	11:43am phat in Lincoln: @Joe McG I would pay good(ish) money for an Option t-shirt.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: Thanks, Rob, nice to see you! Hey, Suzy! Sounds like the ideal morniing, congrats on your new old pup!
	11:44am Miss G: Oh, it's getting late. OK I never posted this before, but some might find helpful "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Book" by Clair Davies (there are also tons of various YT videos online.) Sometimes clearing up the trigger points in the chest, which develop because we've all been hunched over our computers, it helps the lower back to get back into place. You don't need a second human for the chest pokes. . . .Thank you Joe for an interesting morning! Feel better!
	♥ 11:45am Handy Haversack: suzyhotrod, we'll be taking the public out in the big canoes on Newtown Creek on Saturday. 12-4, under the Pulaski Bridge. You can bring your dog! Bagpipe will probably be there, too.
	11:46am morphe': Handy - have ya read that Pollan Bk "Botany of Desire"? I might still have my copy to give ya?
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well there's a bit of a voice.
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: Nope, morph, never seen it!
	♥ 11:48am steve-b: aww, lovely to hear cath and phil! hoping it's not going to be long before i can get to sacred harp singings again
	11:48am Spinning Giant: @suzyhotrod...sounds divine...I'm taking breaks from my work to sneak in those moments, minus the pooch...
	11:49am Spinning Giant: @Miss G - sounds like a useful book - I will check it out - thanks!
	♥ 11:49am Officer Pupp: The peerless Cath and Phil!
	11:50am Mark in Toronto: phat: Also have a large collection of Options, as well as my Trouser Press, old Creems, and now way too many Mojos. Also kept too many of that free mag that Tower used to put out.
	11:51am Mike W.: This is the only station I listen to as well, but it keeps getting harder to tune in
	♥ 11:52am suzyhotrod: @handy I’m in! I’ll add to my calendar and hopefully bring a few pals too.
	11:52am TDK60: Hi Joe.
	♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Awesome, Suzy! I'll be there all day, and K8 and BP should be down there no later than 1, I'd think.
	♥ 11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Sorry for ending with these bummer folk songs about unrequited love. Joe B. will soon be here to pep you up again! Have a great week and see you next time.
	♥ 11:53am 12539: Thanks for the great RayDeeOh, Joe!

	♥ 11:54am theia: great show!
	11:54am Spinning Giant: Great show Joe - thank you!!!
	♥ 11:56am Uncle Michael: I'm sad this is ending.
	11:56am TDK60: Aw come on, bummer folks songs are high on my list of fun.
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: thanks for the music, Joe! hope your back improves
	11:57am phat in Lincoln: @Mark in Toronto I'm not the only one! I wish there were something as good as Trouser or Option nowadays.
	♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry: You can bum yourself out with folk songs every week on Continental Subway on the Drummer Stream, as David Dichelle goes though renditions of Roud Folk song Indexed tunes.
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Let me update my database before I forget. Joe = harp. Marty McSorley = KARP.
	♥ 11:58am Handy Haversack: Feel better, Joe!
	11:59am Chicago: Thanks and feel better ~
