WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from July 13, 2021

Listener comments!
	7/11 6:51pm Lolabelle Pancake: This week's Philco Cheap Cigar Boudoir is gearing up to be a fabulous showcase of musical wonders and commercial propaganda. However, Courtney wants me to remind all listeners that it is AGAINST THE LAW to record the program. You can only hear it once—when broadcast. So please tune in punctually at 7pm Eastern Tuesday.
	7/11 6:56pm Lolabelle Pancake: And to be perfectly honest, the penalties for recording a copyrighted radio show aren't that severe. Most of those convicted of this federal crime, with time off for good behavior, are paroled in less than three years.
	7/11 7:54pm Lolabelle Pancake: To further clarify: by "most" we mean well over 50%. So your chances are good.
	7/11 7:56pm Lolabelle Pancake: P.S. When I say "your chances are good," I'm not suggesting that you commit this crime. It's your choice—whether to commit the crime or not.
	7/11 7:57pm Lolabelle Pancake: N.B.: These clarifications are being posted at the behest of WFMU's legal counsel.
	2:14pm rrg: It's clear that you're choosing your words carefully, Lolabelle, and it's obvious why. Courtney is your employer and your client, but to protect his interests you sometimes have to kowtow to WFMU management, whose unsavory agenda often diverges from Courtney's. But we think we know (we think) what you're really saying here. We understand and sympathize.
	6:07pm G: I thought FMU only had illegal counsel.
	6:17pm G: Shaw's lazy susan, at Ayot St Lawrence, Hertfordshire. Was there as a kid in the 70s; it was tourable even then. Twain has a similar gazebo type backyard building that I saw in Elmira in the 80s; I think it's since been moved to the nearby college campus.
	7:01pm G: Eps can play.
	7:02pm davefromtoronto: more like george barnyard shaw with that shack...
	7:03pm yippie: this show is a paradox because you play 78 rpm records like theyre going out of style but 78s could never go out of style
	7:05pm rrg: I think she's Roché rather than Roche.
	7:06pm Lolabelle Pancake: You're being very diacritical, Mr. RRG.
	7:07pm G: Everybody's a diacritic.
	7:07pm rrg: One shouldn't be blasé about these things.
	7:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...live by the critic, die by the critic...
	7:08pm G: I think Betty has trouble. And might consider speaking her mind less.
	7:09pm Listener Robert: Going to have to stream this on that newfangled Internet thingie, because WMFU right now is too heavily interfered with by Florida stations on 90.1 by sporadic E skip. Say hello to your (temporary) Florida listeners, Codger!
	7:11pm rrg: Maybe if you listened on 91.1, the REAL frequency, it would be a better experience.
	7:11pm rrg: The BEST frequency.
	7:14pm Laura L: Lolabelle, I suspect WFMU's legal counsel may be quietly trying to protect listeners from potential litigation from Rummy Delbarton if Gus Bodenheim's advertisements were to be recorded for unauthorized later enjoyment!
	7:16pm Listener Robert: Quite possibly 91.1 is above the Maximum Usable Frequency for this opening. Alas, I'm outside the East Orange listening area.
	7:17pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Lolabelle, I burn all my MP78s of the Codger's show to "DVDs", and as soon as I can find a chimpanzee who can pedal fast enough to power the DVD player, I'll be all set.
	7:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' When radio began growing in 1921, early stations found that live musicians sounded much clearer over the air than record players did, so few if any played records. The record industry and musicians’ unions were still nervous enough to encourage US President Herbert Hoover to outlaw the playing of records on air, which he did in 1922. Hoover’s reasoning was that the public airwaves should be used for the public good, which included creating jobs for musicians. However, the record industry still had serious fears that people would just sit at home listening to music for free without ever buying a record again. Concert promoters had similar fears: in Boston in 1924, a famous violinist sold 3000 tickets for a huge concert which a radio station later announced would be aired live. When ticketholders heard this, more than half asked for their money back. This incident may have been more indicative of a temporary “radio-mania” than anything else, i.e. an exaggerated conviction that radio would replace everything, kind of like how some people in the 90s believed that email would replace postal systems. Cooler heads understood that radio couldn’t replace the experience of a live concert, and that music listeners would always want the option of choosing what songs they listened to. '... medium.com...
	7:30pm P-90: What can anyone say that hasn’t already been said about Willie Whopper?
	7:31pm Lolabelle Pancake: This soundtrack features the wonderful song "Hell's Bells."
	7:31pm seedfriend: Is this Bluto?
	7:32pm G: Like Flip, this is more overlooked/forgotten Ub Iwerks work. He got forgotten after doing a lot of the work getting his partner Walt D off the ground.
	7:41pm G: No dirty old songs yet. WUT?
	7:42pm melinda: 'His music was...repellent' lol
	7:48pm rrg: I never thought I'd live long enough to see Fablo awarded the Strange New Respect Award.
	7:49pm Lolabelle Pancake: It's true! If anyone is in touch with Fablio, please tell him to call Courtney (his phone # is 6). We have a job offer.
	7:50pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I'm sill getting WMFU with no problems on 91.1, but starting a few minutes ago, my HD Radio started to try locking onto a digital signal from a KSMU. Actually just stopped right now. Station's in Springfield, Mo. Just started happening again. I guess this is like tropospheric ducting or e-skip?
	7:52pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I see Listener Robert said he was also having problems, but on 90.1 and out of Florida. Interesting.
	7:52pm G: The Trio is only very mildly suggestive lol
	7:53pm Listener Robert: Very unlikely to be a tropospheric opening at that distance, but that's a typical distance for a sporadic E skip on VHF.
	7:54pm G: Brox Sisters, I meant. The playlist was a bit ahead of the music for me...
	7:55pm Listener Robert: Skip clouds typically move northwest by west at these latitudes, so the cloud between NJ and Fla. has probably moved on to between NJ and Mo.
	7:58pm G: @LR: Don't weather systems normally move west to east in the US, not east to west?
	7:59pm spodiodi: potato fantasy 🏆 the real mvp
	7:59pm Listener Robert: If you were to draw a line on the map from Gainesville to northern NJ, the skip "cloud" (dense pocket of ionization) would be approximately halfway. Move that point NNW, and you'll see how that happens. G, weather systems are in the troposphere, skip is in the ionosphere.
	8:00pm spodiodi: thanks for the jumping radio party, Courtney and Lolabelle!
	8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY Mr. CE !
	8:01pm G: So you're saying the ionosphere moves in the opposite direction from the troposphere. OK...
	8:01pm Listener Robert: Yes, G, and much faster!
	8:04pm Listener Robert: Sounding rockets from Wallops Is. have been used in recent years to probe the wind at those altitudes. In the past week there've been 2 rocket flights from Wallops to detect the electric currents up there.
