	9:14am Meesalikeu: come on and dance come on and dance lets make some romance india style
	9:15am The Butterman: Last track on album is a rip-off on Billie Jean.
	♥ 9:15am Webhamster Henry: Hi Surface Noisers! 30 years ago, I went on a vacation with my siblings to Sag Harbor, during Hurricane Bob. I was left with the cat while they retreated and listened to an aircheck of a show Rob W. did on Bollywood obsessively.
	9:16am The Butterman: Hamster, is that archived?
	♥ 9:18am The Oscar: Absolutely SOLD on this album title!
	♥ 9:20am Webhamster Henry: @Butterman on my cassette! July 29, 1991, kind of before WFMU archiving.
	♥ 9:20am Webhamster Henry: More Hindi ABBA.
	9:21am Bob Y.: I used to have hours of cassette recordings of WFMU from the 1980s. Sadly, I don't know what became of them.
	♥ 9:21am Webhamster Henry: Yes, I actually have that cassette in hand because I am an organized pack rat - uh - hamster.
	♥ 9:22am listener Rey: Good morning one and all. For a second there, I thought it was Friday on GTDR
	♥ 9:23am Webhamster Henry: I'd really like WFMU program guest co-hosting more than just Marathon time.
	♥ 9:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Webmaster Henry: It doesn't get any funnier than Clay "Why don't you play something people will like" Pigeon co-hosting on Fabio's show.
	9:32am andy the painter: “joe, what is happening? i turn on radio to hear sad songwriter, instead i get thumpy thump and whistles?”

	♥ 9:42am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Happy "Joe Contains Multitudes" Monday.

	9:46am oshiwoshi: Les Fleurs chorus - what a rush
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: I wish this had been out when I did my steel pan premium last year.
	9:47am KWilde: Hey Joe
	♥ 9:47am Webhamster Henry: Oh OK, here's my remix of of the Surface Noise theme, thump thumpers: www.dropbox.com...

	♥ 9:55am MD: Good Morning Joe!!! Listening from work after a 16 month sleep!!!! I feel like Rip Van-Winkle!
	9:58am Brendan: Play it again, Joe.
	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @steveo: Ha ha ha @MD: Wow, I'm jealous. I got about 4 hours last night.
	10:01am TDK60: I missed this. I was asleep in 1992.
	♥ 10:01am melinda: Love Tindersticks
	10:02am JT: me too @tdk
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: I think this is one of their saddest and prettiest.
	10:04am JT: i hear what you see here
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @JT: I'm seeing what you're hearing!
	♥ 10:05am listener monica: Good morning! I finally got good 91.1 reception at my job in Plainfield NJ
	10:06am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Morning / afternoon Joe. A lovely Lloyd Cole track. Makes a nice change from hearing Perfect Skin
	♥ 10:06am steveo: thanks, Joe; gotta go get ready for my "job" now; see you later
	10:07am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Also, greetings listeners!
	10:07am WO Town Wick: The Tindersticks' duet "Travelling Light" is the saddest song, but wonderful. Always loved his voice.
	♥ 10:07am David (in London): My brother had a lovely old red 2CV. It was christened 'The Biscuit Tin' as some of its body panels were about the same thickness. My son used to love prodding them when he was a toddler. We once delivered some components to a French guy and he damn near burst into tears when he was saw it, it made him feel so nostalgic.
	♥ 10:08am nathan: i've been OBSESSED with this first del amitri album lately. i dont understand how they basically turned into Counting Crows
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @WO: Love that one! That whole second album is brilliant. @nathan: Yeah, the first one is amazing! After, well.....
	♥ 10:09am David (in London): I can't even remember who the review was about now, but I remember a line that said that whoever it was "had been scrounging around in Del Amitri's bins".
	10:09am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Nice, two Glasgow bands in a row. David (iL) - I have a soft spot for the 2CV, but my first and most missed car was a Renault 4 - similar vibe, slightly less lethal in an accident
	♥ 10:10am David (in London): Kevin - I hear you. Renault 4 a much-missed classic. Today's automotive offerings are so dull in comparison. Also, hello! (to quote RTD).
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @David: There are nice moments in their later stuff, but the first one is consistently great. They have a new album out, btw.
	10:11am JT: i seem to recall that james may shot a bazooka at a 2cv and renault 4 to see which one was safer in a war zone
	♥ 10:11am JohnEBGood: Hey Joe and WFMU family, Peace 🎸
	10:11am jeff-m: digging this Ducks Ltd a lot
	♥ 10:12am karlward: Weird that the Duck Dynasty guys make pop now
	♥ 10:13am BillyLundun: I think it's funny that scrooge mcduck was able to swim through money and didn't just break his beak when he dived in.
	10:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: i prefer my ducks limitless. infinite ducks.
	♥ 10:13am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone. Happy Jingle-jangle Monday morning.
	♥ 10:14am David (in London): And I like my Ducks Deluxe.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Ducks Deluxe may be a name that cannot be bettered in the duck band field.
	♥ 10:14am karlward: Zero Ducks Given
	10:15am JT: ducks™️
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Isn't there a band called The Mighty Ducks or am I making that up?
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hoping I run not afowl to say digging the duck outta this set...
	♥ 10:18am pgalub: That's actually a movie about a kids hockey team Joe.
	10:18am TDK60: Got any groups I never heard of? (Hoohee)
	♥ 10:19am karlward: It's just "Mighty Duck"
	10:19am Mike W.: Moxhams!
	10:20am Mike W.: @TDK How about the McTells?
	10:20am jeff-m: feel like there was some band from NJ liek 10 years ago that had some oddball name with Ducks in it...
	10:21am Mike W.: Avengers VI: The Infinity Ducks
	♥ 10:22am tadpoles: If memory serves The Gist came out of Young Marble Giants. Nice.
	♥ 10:23am David (in London): Mallard might waddle in on the conversation, ex Magic Band and all.
	♥ 10:23am Krys O.: Thanks for the Bill Nelson and everything else too!
	♥ 10:23am pgalub: Bebop De-Ducks!!
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @pg: Pete, you rule! :)
	♥ 10:25am pgalub: Quack quack!
	♥ 10:26am Son Of Pantz: Love this new Beabadoobee track.
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @Pantz: Clean edit! These youngsters need to watch their language. ;)
	♥ 10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Triggering the Sundays receptors...
	♥ 10:28am Son Of Pantz: No way, JOe! She's too cute for that naughty language.
	♥ 10:30am melinda: Great sets, Joe
	10:30am JT: i need more naughty that goes over my head
	10:32am Sean: Day off, heading up to the Catskills. Great tunes Joe
	♥ 10:33am karlward: Single Single File
	♥ 10:33am Scott Williams: 10cc?
	10:33am Kat in Chicago: Also 10cc!
	♥ 10:33am Phillippe: Beat me to it Scott
	♥ 10:33am Officer Pupp: 10cc!
	♥ 10:34am McGroovey: 10cc !!!!
	♥ 10:34am Webhamster Henry: 10cc was more Metric than the Lovin' Spoonful.
	♥ 10:34am David (in London): Aha, supposedly 10cc also did that...
	10:34am WO Town Wick: Dennis Diken is going to be pleased as punch with the Loving Spoonful
	10:34am Jeremy: Yeah, came to spend my 10cc too...
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: OK, the FIRST one! :)
	♥ 10:34am Webhamster Henry: John Sebastian lives around here but I haven't run into him.#autoharpalert
	♥ 10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who doesn't love AutoHarp PowerChords.
	10:35am TDK60: I love Lovin' Spoonful. Greenwich Village longhairs. Music holds up.
	♥ 10:35am Officer Pupp: Has anyone mentioned 10cc?
	10:35am Jeremy: I always thought Lovin' Spoonful was a heroin reference!
	10:35am JT: welcome back kotter
	10:35am egould310: I think “10 CC” is a reference to the volume of ejaculate as well. A more scientific “Lovin’ Spoonful”.
	10:36am Frank's Brain: Yay for the Bill Nelson, Joe! Would be curious to hear your choice of Be Bop Deluxe material...or even Red Noise!
	♥ 10:36am Krys O.: I have a soft spot for their soundtrack album to What's Up, Tiger Lily?
	♥ 10:36am Matt Fiveash: Was thinking, "wow Joe must have a lot of 10cc 45's!" Just alerted Amanda that you're playing the other spooge monikered band, she'll be psyched...
	♥ 10:37am Son Of Pantz: "I had a dream last night. What a lovely dream it was."
	♥ 10:37am karlward: Two songs in and it's entirely possible I have never heard Lovin' Spoonful
	10:37am TDK60: Good to play some non-hit L.S. like Butchie's. Didn't You La Tengo cover this?
	10:37am Kat in Chicago: I’ve never heard this one!
	10:37am egould310: Also “Thin White Rope”.
	10:37am WO Town Wick: Butchie's Tune--the first pop song to celebrate Ghosting? I don't think 10cc had any Ghosting songs.
	♥ 10:37am Phillippe: well, apparently Snopes has debunked the 10cc name... www.snopes.com...
	10:38am TDK60: [Yo not You]
	♥ 10:38am Son Of Pantz: You guys are putting me off my yogurt. Blech!
	♥ 10:38am melinda: First time hearing the original Butchie's Tune, I knew the YLT cover
	♥ 10:39am tadpoles: Going to be a great set. John Sebastian wrote some great ones....even the B sides. Still lives up here in Woodstock.
	♥ 10:39am Mike Sin: "Butchie's Tune" is one of their greatest. Joe Butler -- who rarely sings -- delivered just the right amount of reserved vocal bittersweetness.
	10:39am TDK60: I saw some text recently that said folkies in a pre-Dead formation saw L.S. play the Bay Area, then they went electric.
	♥ 10:40am Dennis Diken: just tuned in to hear "Butchie's Tune," one of my favorite recordings by one of my favorite bands of all time. thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:40am Krys O.: Used to watch John Sebastian host a TV series on TBS, I think, called Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll 30 years ago.
	♥ 10:40am David (in London): Phillippe, "confirmed in a 1988 interview by Creme, and also on the webpage of Gouldman's current line-up, is that the band name represented a volume of semen that was more than the average amount ejaculated, thus emphasising their potency or prowess." Apologies to anyone having lunch.
	10:40am TDK60: Night Owl was a Village club L.S. gigged at often, right?
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: Hey Dennis! This set goes out to you!
	♥ 10:41am Matt Fiveash: Dennis! Get that Spoonful of Lovin' band going again, we're begging you!
	10:41am TDK60: Dennis D. - They were a great band!
	♥ 10:41am David (in London): I remember Ray Manzarek recounting how Donovan rushed up to him at an airport once, hugging him intensely, thinking he was John Sebastian. "Er, sorry man, but..."
	♥ 10:42am Dennis Diken: dig Zally, number one on my list of fave guitar players!
	♥ 10:42am Phillippe: @David thank God! I've been repeating the semen thing for years! I was going to have to call a crapload of people to apologize...
	♥ 10:43am David (in London): Phillippe, stick to your cums...I mean, guns.
	10:43am Roberto: My late father-in-law worked construction with Joe Butler in the '70s. After blowing through his spoonful earnings, Joe fell back on his carpenter skills.
	♥ 10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DiL - ha.
	♥ 10:43am Phillippe: good point
	10:44am Joey Joe Joe: Second that Matt Fiveash. One of my fave shows ever at Monty Hall. Amazing.
	10:44am TDK60: Daydream is a fun LP. Any chance of hearing "Big Noise from Speonk"?
	♥ 10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spoonful occupied a unique space - peripheries of Blues, FolkRawk, ProtoSunshinePop...stuff.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @TDK60: I don't have that one on a single, unfortunately.
	♥ 10:45am melinda: I saw John Sebastian open for Robin Williams when I was little, didn't fully appreciate him then. But I remember being excited when he played the theme to Welcome Back Kotter.
	♥ 10:45am Dennis Diken: @Matt Fiveash - hey, yeah, thanks for the nudge! @TDK - indeed, The Night Owl occupied the same space where Bleeker Bob's later was. THANKS JOE McG! you too Joey Joe Joe!
	♥ 10:46am nortonjutland: mine goes up to 11
	10:46am TDK60: Oh, 45s hee. Rain on Roof a masterpiece.
	♥ 10:46am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody. I'm Lovin' this Single File!
	♥ 10:47am Phillippe: Hey roberto, sorry, just got back to you on your response. Thought I had replied earlier but my Drafts folder says otherwise
	10:47am Jack: I saw Sebastian open for Jethro Tull at the Fillmore, many moons ago. Post Woodstock, he was still wearing his tie-dyed suit.
	10:47am Frank's Brain: @Dennis Diken. Speaking of fave guitar players. Joe just played the most criminally underrated rock guitarist on the planet...Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe.
	♥ 10:47am Dennis Diken: man, I love Daydream! I had the honor of writing liner notes for the CD reishes of that and Hums in the early '00s. both solid senders, as was their first, one of the best debut LPs by any band, to be sure!
	10:47am Roberto: Hiya Phillipe, your first response found its way to my junk folder. I will respond later today, thanks!
	♥ 10:47am David (in London): Hey Tim.
	10:47am John Pietaro: Rain on the Roof. Have t heard this in so long. I recall it in my childhood. So nice.
	10:48am jeff-m: oh, that Duck named band i was to think of was Ducktails
	♥ 10:48am Matt Fiveash: We saw John Sebastian solo at Johnny D's in Somerville MA a few years ago- he was magnificent. So many of these Spoonful tunes worked so well as Mississippi John Hurt-style solo fingerpicked versions... plus he did some actual MJH tunes, and a beautiful instrumental version of the Everlys' Walk Right Back...
	10:48am Jeremy: Did they just sing "the full weight of your loving" ??!!
	♥ 10:48am tim from washington: @Dennis Diken - I read White Label Promo Preservation Society last week. I enjoyed your chapter on Friends. The book definitely served it's purpose because somehow I had been completely unaware of Friends.
	♥ 10:49am tim from washington: Hey DiL!
	♥ 10:49am Dennis Diken: @Matt Fiveash - cool! John is one of the most treasured of American treasures!!
	10:49am SledDawg: Used to be in a band with a guy who was in the 2nd edition of The Critters. He told me a few stories about how Sebastian became persona non-grata on the NY scene for a while for narcing out some other folks on the scene. They went to jail and he sort of submerged until his Kotter comeback...
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: John Sebastian is a lovely guy. Saw him play in a church once!
	10:51am SledDawg: Songs are still great of course - it was a different time and who knows what pressure he was under.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: ooh, my copy of this single is ready for the grooveyard...
	♥ 10:52am Phillippe: @Roberto, that email certainly had a bit of an adventure on both our ends lol
	10:52am TDK60: Saw John S. solo in '80s; played baritone electric guitar along with acoustic.
	♥ 10:52am Matt Fiveash: SledDawg- it was actually Zally & Steve who fingered their dope dealer to avoid jail time, but the whole band got blacklisted by the counterculture mob after that, somewhat unfairly in my opinion.
	10:52am ?: do you have their rock and roll hall of fame performance? lol...
	10:52am Danny C: Cool set, Joe. My cousins remember seeing John Sebastian walking around Greenwich Village back in the day...
	10:52am John Pietaro: Got to speak w Sebastian several years back, up in Woodstock when he was a guest performer w Ramblin’ Jack Elliot At the Colony.. I was reviewing the show and as I arrived, Jack and John were out in the driveway smoking and kibitzing. They were so nice to talk to, totally welcoming, but after a few minutes, gave them space. The show was absolutely great, btw, w Sebastian’s phalanx of harmonicas adding gorgeous counter-melodies
	♥ 10:53am Dennis Diken: @tim from washington - thanks! hope you dig Friends! @Matt - yes indeed, read about it in Steve Boone's fine book "Hotter Than A Match Head"
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: I like these John Sebastian stories! He has so many stories to tell himself. Does he have a book?
	♥ 10:55am Dennis Diken: "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" was based on Tim Hardin's "It'll Never Happen Again" - or vise versa?! I need to revisit my notes for "Daydream"!
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A buffet of indispensable tracks - the Spoonful.
	10:56am Jack: Sebastian did a great phone interview on Michael Shelley's show a few months back...
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: 'Darling' always cuts to my soul ever since I was a kid.
	10:57am TDK60: Dennis, really? Tim's tune a /bit/ more down.
	10:57am SledDawg: Dennis and Matt - thanks for clearing that up... interesting that the guy I played with heard it that way at the time...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Jack: If you can find it easily, can you link to that here? Thnx!
	10:58am Jack: Also, Sebastian had a kick-ass rock&roll band back in the early 70's, post Spoonful. We used to go see them in and around NYC. They did a lot of his solo stuff.
	♥ 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah they made the Charts will relatable sentiments - but never by pandering. Venn Diagram of Folk & Sunshine...
	♥ 10:58am Matt Fiveash: Amanda also interviewed him several years back: wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *with
	♥ 10:58am Webhamster Henry: @John Pietaro Ramblin' Jack turned 90 yesterday!.
	♥ 10:59am tim from washington: This is great hearing these singles back to back. I haven't ever listened to Lovin' Spoonful outside of oldies radio. Their sound is so advanced for the mid 60s.
	♥ 10:59am Dennis Diken: I was really lucky to have performed at the Wild Honey Spoonful charity trib in LA last Feb, my last sojourn before lockdown. played drums on a bunch of songs and sang lead on "Butchie's Tune" with John S playing right by my side! all 3 surviving Spooners were on board. a total life highlight!!!
	10:59am JT: this morning just took a very cool turn
	10:59am TDK60: I saw John S. solo at a huge civic arena concert, in between Art Blakey and B.B. King. John did well.
	10:59am BillD: Joe M spinning those yellow Kama Sutra 45s . Love it .
	♥ 10:59am Officer Pupp: Great set!
	10:59am Jack: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:00am David (in London): Great Single File, Joe. Nice to hear things other than the familiar tunes.
	11:00am Kat in Chicago: Same, Krys. I remember hearing it for the first time as a kid and thinking it was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard.
	11:00am TDK60: Bravo Joe, for Spoonful memories.
	11:00am Jack: And by a "few months back" I meant a couple of years....
	♥ 11:01am melinda: The LS was so good
	♥ 11:01am chresti: Morning Joe and company!
	♥ 11:01am Dennis Diken: Zally's restaurant Chez Piggy in Kingston, Ontario is still open (I hope, after lockdown), his daughter is running the place. it's a fabulous eatery, went there a few years ago.
	♥ 11:02am Webhamster Henry: Some Ramblin' Jack 90th links: allenginsberg.org...
	11:03am TDK60: Happy b.day Ramblin' Jack Elliot.
	♥ 11:04am Dennis Diken: the Spoonful made a conscious effort to make every single in a totally different bag than the others. man, did it ever work! as much as they were a "singles band" I highly recommend those 4 Kama Sutra LPs and the so trk to What's Up, Tiger Lily?
	11:04am ledzeppelinsucks: Wishing you all better than a mid range bummer on the Eve of my favorite holiday. Cheers.
	♥ 11:04am Dennis Diken: @Joe - thanks for the shout out!
	11:04am TDK60: Dennis D., I can only "ditto".
	♥ 11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Poor Zal...
	11:05am annie: a friend of mine took me out to woodstock for shopping and lunch. we went there often as we only lived 45 minutes away. it happened to be a drum circle day. john s strolled up and joined in... i think he lives there.
	11:06am JT: colleen
	♥ 11:07am Dennis Diken: once again, Zally tends to be overlooked as a guitarist, he played with imagination, abandon, class and style. one of his main influences was Floyd Cramer's "slip note" piano playing.
	11:08am Mike tp: chiming in.on lovin spoonful.seen the lovin spoonful 10 years ago and I couldn't believe my eyes there was a john Sébastien look alike on stage. pretty wierd.....
	11:08am Kpx: Shoot, somehow I missed my fav. you didn't have to be so nice.

	♥ 11:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Band I was in used to cover Joe Ely's "Everybody got hammered." Too much fun!
	♥ 11:13am David (in London): Don't know The Flatlanders at all, so liking this. Online tells me that their early incarnation was named as 'The Double Mountain Fork Of The Brazos River Boys'. Snappy!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @David: Look for a copy of "More a Legend Than a Band," which was reissued on CD back a ways.
	♥ 11:15am tim from washington: !0 years ago I lived in Lubbock TX. There was a restaurant there that had photos of local greats performing. There was one of Linda Ronstadt singing with Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the early 80s. What was most remarkable about the photo was Linda was wearing a calculator watch!
	♥ 11:15am tim from washington: I borrowed this new Loretta from the library recently. It's solid all the way through.
	♥ 11:16am David (in London): Tim, double entry bookkeeping was actually one of Linda Ronstadt's favourite hobbies, so she needed it.
	♥ 11:16am Jason from Houston: Whoaaaaa! Sounds good!
	♥ 11:17am tim from washington: @David - ha!
	11:20am TDK60: I spent a few days in Lubbock. Of course, stopped by Buddy Holly's grave.
	♥ 11:21am Son Of Pantz: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:21am Krys O.: Nice! Waylon & Anita! I know her daughter Lorrie. Do you know about Nita, Rita & Ruby, Joe? www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:21am Son Of Pantz: Joe, I know how much you like Waylon. Did you ever check out that doc about cowboys? I just added a link to it. It's pretty cool.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Krys: I didn't! Thanks for pointing me to it.
	♥ 11:22am Krys O.: My pleasure. I know you're gonna love it.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @Pantz: Thanks for the link. I missed it last time but I'll remember this time. THIS TIME, like Waylon says.
	♥ 11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice picks Pardner.
	♥ 11:24am Son Of Pantz: No sweat. He's a great story teller.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @RR63: Felt in the mood for some country music today...
	♥ 11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I did mention tuning into Radio Free Americana occasionally of late - & sinking right into it...
	♥ 11:26am tim from washington: @TDK60 - I think Lubbock is what the city in Last Picture Show turned into.
	♥ 11:27am tim from washington: I saw SHooter Jennings in 2019. I didn't know what to expect going in and I ended up enjoying it from the first song.
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): "They laughed at me, and I shot 'em". Cuts down on all the HR workplace procedures.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @David: Johnny wasn't one for red tape.
	11:30am dmartnewmexico: Shout out from Burque!
	♥ 11:30am Son Of Pantz: Play that Psycho song, Joe! "You think I'm crazy momma" or whatever he says.
	♥ 11:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: Overlooked 'modern' country artist: Lindi Ortega. I see you did play a track. Man, the title track from Cigarettes & Truckstops knocked me out back then.
	♥ 11:32am tim from washington: Here's how to write memorable lyrics: 1. Mention cities/states/places 2. Use days of the week 3. Count frequently
	11:32am TDK60: So Joe, you do play both kinds of music.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @TDK60: Country AND western.
	♥ 11:35am chresti: So uplifting..
	♥ 11:36am Dennis Diken: back to the Spoonful for a second - I heard somewhere that "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" was Brian W's inspiration for "God Only Knows." the bridge to The Kinks "Shangri-La" was inspired by the section of "Summer In The City" that sings "but at night it's a different world, go out and find a girl, etc." and "Good Day Sunshine' was a reaction to "Daydream." the Spoonful spent an evening with Lennon, Harrison and Brian Jones in London, ca '66
	♥ 11:37am Jason from Houston: To the future, chresti!
	♥ 11:38am chresti: Ha Jason, you think it's bad now...
	♥ 11:38am Officer Pupp: Oof, I've never heard of Sammi Smith, but this is great!

	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @OP: Happy to turn you on to some Sammi!
	11:40am Shri: @serious_cactus why do I gotta be a dumb animal?
	♥ 11:40am chresti: Hi TDK60.
	11:40am annie: i definitely went through a love-fest for 70s C&W. great country station out of albany. i was naive enough to believe these people wearing their hearts on their sleeves heralded a new time for honest and open feelings.. HA!!!
	♥ 11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DenninDiken: Thx ! Fascinating !
	11:42am MFlynn: Thanks Joe. Great array of choices for today’s show, particularly this country set!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am rx scabin: TVZ!
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think that just as LBJ's Civil Rights Act in 1964 cost the Democratic Party the South - indefinitely - a similar bifurcation of Liberal Folk & Conservative Country has occurred.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, MF!
	♥ 11:44am dreamyandseedy: loving this country set!! i grew up on country music, but i fell away for a long time, i have been wanting to come back
	♥ 11:45am karlward: One of the things I miss about radio from before the Clinton-era radio ownership deregulation was hearing great local country/blues/zydeco stations while driving through the South, so much great 70s country on those old stations.
	♥ 11:45am tim from washington: @Joe - I wonder if Joe Belock's gonna be able to get on the mic in 16 minutes. This some serious tears in your beers songs. Someone at the station may need to give him a hug and rub his back.
	♥ 11:45am Jason from Houston: Ahhhhhh! This Janet Simpson is so fine.
	♥ 11:46am David (in London): We had a band here in the UK (from London's Camden) called The Rockingbirds, who were not only great themselves, but really opened the door for a proper appreciation of country in the UK.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @tiim: Ha ha ha
	11:46am Brendan: Pet sitting two dogs plus my own two. This is good dog herdin’ music.Yip Yip eeeai kyaai. I reckon you cat herders feel the same
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - same thing that happened to Rawk. No more regional DJs who would play differne trax from different eras - for a cultural continuity. Have noted that Country station that claim to play Country from its whole history do no such thing. & up half way up NewHapshuh here in a very small town - there are - count 'em - two local commercial Country stations...
	♥ 11:48am Krys O.: Jerry!
	♥ 11:48am karlward: Joe: see this is what I mean! You would never hear this Jerry Reed on country stations these days!
	♥ 11:48am tim from washington: I liked that Janet Simpson!

	11:50am DJ Guin: Eastbound and McGasko...loaded up and truckin'
	♥ 11:50am karlward: TONY JOE WHITE!
	11:51am DJ Guin: sounds like Hank Hill
	♥ 11:51am patrick321: @Reno sounds like we had a similar experience.
	11:52am annie: @brendan: i've been through a dry spell on pet-sitting. i'm glad that it picks back up this week: by household: 2 elderly cats, one young adult dog, and one overnight 2-dog sit for a guy celebrating his one-year wedding anniversary...the last of those are very barky-noisy types in a trailer park.
	♥ 11:52am tadpoles: Thanks for the great dose of Lovin' Spoonful today Joe. "Summer in the City" gave me an exciting image of NYC long before I visited. Excellent concise Pop. Cheers.
	♥ 11:53am tim from washington: Forget Burt Reynolds, hire Joe McGasko to get that semi full of Coors across the Mississippi!

	11:55am andy the painter: i think we definitely need to hear more songs abt largemouth bass on FMU
	♥ 11:55am Mungerphut: "On June 2nd, 1932, George Perry caught the current world record bass out of Lake Montgomery, an oxbow lake off the Ocmulgee River in southern Georgia. The fish (the whopper) weighed 22 pounds, 4 ounces."
	♥ 11:55am Son Of Pantz: And a Sally Fields in tight jeans. Hubba hubba.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Hey thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! I had a good time and I hope you did, too. See you next time, and have a great week.

	♥ 10:01am Joe McG: @steveo: Ha ha ha @MD: Wow, I'm jealous. I got about 4 hours last night.
	10:01am TDK60: I missed this. I was asleep in 1992.
	♥ 10:01am melinda: Love Tindersticks
	10:02am JT: me too @tdk
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: I think this is one of their saddest and prettiest.
	10:04am JT: i hear what you see here
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @JT: I'm seeing what you're hearing!
	♥ 10:05am listener monica: Good morning! I finally got good 91.1 reception at my job in Plainfield NJ
	10:06am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Morning / afternoon Joe. A lovely Lloyd Cole track. Makes a nice change from hearing Perfect Skin
	♥ 10:06am steveo: thanks, Joe; gotta go get ready for my "job" now; see you later
	10:07am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Also, greetings listeners!
	10:07am WO Town Wick: The Tindersticks' duet "Travelling Light" is the saddest song, but wonderful. Always loved his voice.
	♥ 10:07am David (in London): My brother had a lovely old red 2CV. It was christened 'The Biscuit Tin' as some of its body panels were about the same thickness. My son used to love prodding them when he was a toddler. We once delivered some components to a French guy and he damn near burst into tears when he was saw it, it made him feel so nostalgic.
	♥ 10:08am nathan: i've been OBSESSED with this first del amitri album lately. i dont understand how they basically turned into Counting Crows
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @WO: Love that one! That whole second album is brilliant. @nathan: Yeah, the first one is amazing! After, well.....
	♥ 10:09am David (in London): I can't even remember who the review was about now, but I remember a line that said that whoever it was "had been scrounging around in Del Amitri's bins".
	10:09am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Nice, two Glasgow bands in a row. David (iL) - I have a soft spot for the 2CV, but my first and most missed car was a Renault 4 - similar vibe, slightly less lethal in an accident
	♥ 10:10am David (in London): Kevin - I hear you. Renault 4 a much-missed classic. Today's automotive offerings are so dull in comparison. Also, hello! (to quote RTD).
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: @David: There are nice moments in their later stuff, but the first one is consistently great. They have a new album out, btw.
	10:11am JT: i seem to recall that james may shot a bazooka at a 2cv and renault 4 to see which one was safer in a war zone
	♥ 10:11am JohnEBGood: Hey Joe and WFMU family, Peace 🎸
	10:11am jeff-m: digging this Ducks Ltd a lot
	♥ 10:12am karlward: Weird that the Duck Dynasty guys make pop now
	♥ 10:13am BillyLundun: I think it's funny that scrooge mcduck was able to swim through money and didn't just break his beak when he dived in.
	10:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: i prefer my ducks limitless. infinite ducks.
	♥ 10:13am pgalub: Hey Joe and everyone. Happy Jingle-jangle Monday morning.
	♥ 10:14am David (in London): And I like my Ducks Deluxe.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Ducks Deluxe may be a name that cannot be bettered in the duck band field.
	♥ 10:14am karlward: Zero Ducks Given
	10:15am JT: ducks™️
	♥ 10:16am Joe McG: Isn't there a band called The Mighty Ducks or am I making that up?
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hoping I run not afowl to say digging the duck outta this set...
	♥ 10:18am pgalub: That's actually a movie about a kids hockey team Joe.
	10:18am TDK60: Got any groups I never heard of? (Hoohee)
	♥ 10:19am karlward: It's just "Mighty Duck"
	10:19am Mike W.: Moxhams!
	10:20am Mike W.: @TDK How about the McTells?
	10:20am jeff-m: feel like there was some band from NJ liek 10 years ago that had some oddball name with Ducks in it...
	10:21am Mike W.: Avengers VI: The Infinity Ducks
	♥ 10:22am tadpoles: If memory serves The Gist came out of Young Marble Giants. Nice.

	♥ 10:33am Officer Pupp: 10cc!
	♥ 10:34am McGroovey: 10cc !!!!
	♥ 10:34am Webhamster Henry: 10cc was more Metric than the Lovin' Spoonful.
	♥ 10:34am David (in London): Aha, supposedly 10cc also did that...
	10:34am WO Town Wick: Dennis Diken is going to be pleased as punch with the Loving Spoonful
	10:34am Jeremy: Yeah, came to spend my 10cc too...
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: OK, the FIRST one! :)
	♥ 10:34am Webhamster Henry: John Sebastian lives around here but I haven't run into him.#autoharpalert
	♥ 10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who doesn't love AutoHarp PowerChords.
	10:35am TDK60: I love Lovin' Spoonful. Greenwich Village longhairs. Music holds up.
	♥ 10:35am Officer Pupp: Has anyone mentioned 10cc?
	10:35am Jeremy: I always thought Lovin' Spoonful was a heroin reference!
	10:35am JT: welcome back kotter
	10:35am egould310: I think “10 CC” is a reference to the volume of ejaculate as well. A more scientific “Lovin’ Spoonful”.
	10:36am Frank's Brain: Yay for the Bill Nelson, Joe! Would be curious to hear your choice of Be Bop Deluxe material...or even Red Noise!
	♥ 10:36am Krys O.: I have a soft spot for their soundtrack album to What's Up, Tiger Lily?
	♥ 10:36am Matt Fiveash: Was thinking, "wow Joe must have a lot of 10cc 45's!" Just alerted Amanda that you're playing the other spooge monikered band, she'll be psyched...
	♥ 10:37am Son Of Pantz: "I had a dream last night. What a lovely dream it was."
	♥ 10:37am karlward: Two songs in and it's entirely possible I have never heard Lovin' Spoonful
	10:37am TDK60: Good to play some non-hit L.S. like Butchie's. Didn't You La Tengo cover this?
	10:37am Kat in Chicago: I’ve never heard this one!
	10:37am egould310: Also “Thin White Rope”.
	10:37am WO Town Wick: Butchie's Tune--the first pop song to celebrate Ghosting? I don't think 10cc had any Ghosting songs.
	♥ 10:37am Phillippe: well, apparently Snopes has debunked the 10cc name... www.snopes.com...
	10:38am TDK60: [Yo not You]
	♥ 10:38am Son Of Pantz: You guys are putting me off my yogurt. Blech!
	♥ 10:38am melinda: First time hearing the original Butchie's Tune, I knew the YLT cover
	♥ 10:39am tadpoles: Going to be a great set. John Sebastian wrote some great ones....even the B sides. Still lives up here in Woodstock.
	♥ 10:39am Mike Sin: "Butchie's Tune" is one of their greatest. Joe Butler -- who rarely sings -- delivered just the right amount of reserved vocal bittersweetness.
	10:39am TDK60: I saw some text recently that said folkies in a pre-Dead formation saw L.S. play the Bay Area, then they went electric.
	♥ 10:40am Dennis Diken: just tuned in to hear "Butchie's Tune," one of my favorite recordings by one of my favorite bands of all time. thanks Joe!
	♥ 10:40am Krys O.: Used to watch John Sebastian host a TV series on TBS, I think, called Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll 30 years ago.
	♥ 10:40am David (in London): Phillippe, "confirmed in a 1988 interview by Creme, and also on the webpage of Gouldman's current line-up, is that the band name represented a volume of semen that was more than the average amount ejaculated, thus emphasising their potency or prowess." Apologies to anyone having lunch.
	10:40am TDK60: Night Owl was a Village club L.S. gigged at often, right?
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: Hey Dennis! This set goes out to you!
	♥ 10:41am Matt Fiveash: Dennis! Get that Spoonful of Lovin' band going again, we're begging you!
	10:41am TDK60: Dennis D. - They were a great band!
	♥ 10:41am David (in London): I remember Ray Manzarek recounting how Donovan rushed up to him at an airport once, hugging him intensely, thinking he was John Sebastian. "Er, sorry man, but..."
	♥ 10:42am Dennis Diken: dig Zally, number one on my list of fave guitar players!
	♥ 10:42am Phillippe: @David thank God! I've been repeating the semen thing for years! I was going to have to call a crapload of people to apologize...
	♥ 10:43am David (in London): Phillippe, stick to your cums...I mean, guns.
	10:43am Roberto: My late father-in-law worked construction with Joe Butler in the '70s. After blowing through his spoonful earnings, Joe fell back on his carpenter skills.
	♥ 10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DiL - ha.
	♥ 10:43am Phillippe: good point
	10:44am Joey Joe Joe: Second that Matt Fiveash. One of my fave shows ever at Monty Hall. Amazing.
	10:44am TDK60: Daydream is a fun LP. Any chance of hearing "Big Noise from Speonk"?
	♥ 10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spoonful occupied a unique space - peripheries of Blues, FolkRawk, ProtoSunshinePop...stuff.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @TDK60: I don't have that one on a single, unfortunately.
	♥ 10:45am melinda: I saw John Sebastian open for Robin Williams when I was little, didn't fully appreciate him then. But I remember being excited when he played the theme to Welcome Back Kotter.
	♥ 10:45am Dennis Diken: @Matt Fiveash - hey, yeah, thanks for the nudge! @TDK - indeed, The Night Owl occupied the same space where Bleeker Bob's later was. THANKS JOE McG! you too Joey Joe Joe!
	♥ 10:46am nortonjutland: mine goes up to 11
	10:46am TDK60: Oh, 45s hee. Rain on Roof a masterpiece.
	♥ 10:46am tim from washington: Hi Joe and everybody. I'm Lovin' this Single File!
	♥ 10:47am Phillippe: Hey roberto, sorry, just got back to you on your response. Thought I had replied earlier but my Drafts folder says otherwise
	10:47am Jack: I saw Sebastian open for Jethro Tull at the Fillmore, many moons ago. Post Woodstock, he was still wearing his tie-dyed suit.
	10:47am Frank's Brain: @Dennis Diken. Speaking of fave guitar players. Joe just played the most criminally underrated rock guitarist on the planet...Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe.
	♥ 10:47am Dennis Diken: man, I love Daydream! I had the honor of writing liner notes for the CD reishes of that and Hums in the early '00s. both solid senders, as was their first, one of the best debut LPs by any band, to be sure!
	10:47am Roberto: Hiya Phillipe, your first response found its way to my junk folder. I will respond later today, thanks!
	♥ 10:47am David (in London): Hey Tim.
	10:47am John Pietaro: Rain on the Roof. Have t heard this in so long. I recall it in my childhood. So nice.
	10:48am jeff-m: oh, that Duck named band i was to think of was Ducktails
	♥ 10:48am Matt Fiveash: We saw John Sebastian solo at Johnny D's in Somerville MA a few years ago- he was magnificent. So many of these Spoonful tunes worked so well as Mississippi John Hurt-style solo fingerpicked versions... plus he did some actual MJH tunes, and a beautiful instrumental version of the Everlys' Walk Right Back...
	10:48am Jeremy: Did they just sing "the full weight of your loving" ??!!
	♥ 10:48am tim from washington: @Dennis Diken - I read White Label Promo Preservation Society last week. I enjoyed your chapter on Friends. The book definitely served it's purpose because somehow I had been completely unaware of Friends.
	♥ 10:49am tim from washington: Hey DiL!
	♥ 10:49am Dennis Diken: @Matt Fiveash - cool! John is one of the most treasured of American treasures!!
	10:49am SledDawg: Used to be in a band with a guy who was in the 2nd edition of The Critters. He told me a few stories about how Sebastian became persona non-grata on the NY scene for a while for narcing out some other folks on the scene. They went to jail and he sort of submerged until his Kotter comeback...
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: John Sebastian is a lovely guy. Saw him play in a church once!
	10:51am SledDawg: Songs are still great of course - it was a different time and who knows what pressure he was under.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: ooh, my copy of this single is ready for the grooveyard...
	♥ 10:52am Phillippe: @Roberto, that email certainly had a bit of an adventure on both our ends lol
	10:52am TDK60: Saw John S. solo in '80s; played baritone electric guitar along with acoustic.
	♥ 10:52am Matt Fiveash: SledDawg- it was actually Zally & Steve who fingered their dope dealer to avoid jail time, but the whole band got blacklisted by the counterculture mob after that, somewhat unfairly in my opinion.
	10:52am ?: do you have their rock and roll hall of fame performance? lol...
	10:52am Danny C: Cool set, Joe. My cousins remember seeing John Sebastian walking around Greenwich Village back in the day...
	10:52am John Pietaro: Got to speak w Sebastian several years back, up in Woodstock when he was a guest performer w Ramblin’ Jack Elliot At the Colony.. I was reviewing the show and as I arrived, Jack and John were out in the driveway smoking and kibitzing. They were so nice to talk to, totally welcoming, but after a few minutes, gave them space. The show was absolutely great, btw, w Sebastian’s phalanx of harmonicas adding gorgeous counter-melodies
	♥ 10:53am Dennis Diken: @tim from washington - thanks! hope you dig Friends! @Matt - yes indeed, read about it in Steve Boone's fine book "Hotter Than A Match Head"
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: I like these John Sebastian stories! He has so many stories to tell himself. Does he have a book?
	♥ 10:55am Dennis Diken: "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" was based on Tim Hardin's "It'll Never Happen Again" - or vise versa?! I need to revisit my notes for "Daydream"!
	♥ 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A buffet of indispensable tracks - the Spoonful.
	10:56am Jack: Sebastian did a great phone interview on Michael Shelley's show a few months back...
	♥ 10:56am Krys O.: 'Darling' always cuts to my soul ever since I was a kid.
	10:57am TDK60: Dennis, really? Tim's tune a /bit/ more down.
	10:57am SledDawg: Dennis and Matt - thanks for clearing that up... interesting that the guy I played with heard it that way at the time...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Jack: If you can find it easily, can you link to that here? Thnx!
	10:58am Jack: Also, Sebastian had a kick-ass rock&roll band back in the early 70's, post Spoonful. We used to go see them in and around NYC. They did a lot of his solo stuff.
	♥ 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah they made the Charts will relatable sentiments - but never by pandering. Venn Diagram of Folk & Sunshine...
	♥ 10:58am Matt Fiveash: Amanda also interviewed him several years back: wfmu.org...

	♥ 10:58am Webhamster Henry: @John Pietaro Ramblin' Jack turned 90 yesterday!.
	♥ 10:59am tim from washington: This is great hearing these singles back to back. I haven't ever listened to Lovin' Spoonful outside of oldies radio. Their sound is so advanced for the mid 60s.
	♥ 10:59am Dennis Diken: I was really lucky to have performed at the Wild Honey Spoonful charity trib in LA last Feb, my last sojourn before lockdown. played drums on a bunch of songs and sang lead on "Butchie's Tune" with John S playing right by my side! all 3 surviving Spooners were on board. a total life highlight!!!
	10:59am JT: this morning just took a very cool turn
	10:59am TDK60: I saw John S. solo at a huge civic arena concert, in between Art Blakey and B.B. King. John did well.
	10:59am BillD: Joe M spinning those yellow Kama Sutra 45s . Love it .
	♥ 10:59am Officer Pupp: Great set!

	♥ 11:00am David (in London): Great Single File, Joe. Nice to hear things other than the familiar tunes.
	11:00am Kat in Chicago: Same, Krys. I remember hearing it for the first time as a kid and thinking it was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard.
	11:00am TDK60: Bravo Joe, for Spoonful memories.
	11:00am Jack: And by a "few months back" I meant a couple of years....
	♥ 11:01am melinda: The LS was so good
	♥ 11:01am chresti: Morning Joe and company!
	♥ 11:01am Dennis Diken: Zally's restaurant Chez Piggy in Kingston, Ontario is still open (I hope, after lockdown), his daughter is running the place. it's a fabulous eatery, went there a few years ago.
	♥ 11:02am Webhamster Henry: Some Ramblin' Jack 90th links: allenginsberg.org...
	11:03am TDK60: Happy b.day Ramblin' Jack Elliot.
	♥ 11:04am Dennis Diken: the Spoonful made a conscious effort to make every single in a totally different bag than the others. man, did it ever work! as much as they were a "singles band" I highly recommend those 4 Kama Sutra LPs and the so trk to What's Up, Tiger Lily?
	11:04am ledzeppelinsucks: Wishing you all better than a mid range bummer on the Eve of my favorite holiday. Cheers.
	♥ 11:04am Dennis Diken: @Joe - thanks for the shout out!
	11:04am TDK60: Dennis D., I can only "ditto".
	♥ 11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Poor Zal...
	11:05am annie: a friend of mine took me out to woodstock for shopping and lunch. we went there often as we only lived 45 minutes away. it happened to be a drum circle day. john s strolled up and joined in... i think he lives there.
	11:06am JT: colleen
	♥ 11:07am Dennis Diken: once again, Zally tends to be overlooked as a guitarist, he played with imagination, abandon, class and style. one of his main influences was Floyd Cramer's "slip note" piano playing.
	11:08am Mike tp: chiming in.on lovin spoonful.seen the lovin spoonful 10 years ago and I couldn't believe my eyes there was a john Sébastien look alike on stage. pretty wierd.....

	♥ 11:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Band I was in used to cover Joe Ely's "Everybody got hammered." Too much fun!
	♥ 11:13am David (in London): Don't know The Flatlanders at all, so liking this. Online tells me that their early incarnation was named as 'The Double Mountain Fork Of The Brazos River Boys'. Snappy!
	♥ 11:14am Joe McG: @David: Look for a copy of "More a Legend Than a Band," which was reissued on CD back a ways.
	♥ 11:15am tim from washington: !0 years ago I lived in Lubbock TX. There was a restaurant there that had photos of local greats performing. There was one of Linda Ronstadt singing with Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the early 80s. What was most remarkable about the photo was Linda was wearing a calculator watch!
	♥ 11:15am tim from washington: I borrowed this new Loretta from the library recently. It's solid all the way through.
	♥ 11:16am David (in London): Tim, double entry bookkeeping was actually one of Linda Ronstadt's favourite hobbies, so she needed it.
	♥ 11:16am Jason from Houston: Whoaaaaa! Sounds good!
	♥ 11:17am tim from washington: @David - ha!
	11:20am TDK60: I spent a few days in Lubbock. Of course, stopped by Buddy Holly's grave.

	♥ 11:21am Son Of Pantz: Joe, I know how much you like Waylon. Did you ever check out that doc about cowboys? I just added a link to it. It's pretty cool.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Krys: I didn't! Thanks for pointing me to it.
	♥ 11:22am Krys O.: My pleasure. I know you're gonna love it.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @Pantz: Thanks for the link. I missed it last time but I'll remember this time. THIS TIME, like Waylon says.
	♥ 11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice picks Pardner.
	♥ 11:24am Son Of Pantz: No sweat. He's a great story teller.
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: @RR63: Felt in the mood for some country music today...
	♥ 11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I did mention tuning into Radio Free Americana occasionally of late - & sinking right into it...
	♥ 11:26am tim from washington: @TDK60 - I think Lubbock is what the city in Last Picture Show turned into.
	♥ 11:27am tim from washington: I saw SHooter Jennings in 2019. I didn't know what to expect going in and I ended up enjoying it from the first song.
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): "They laughed at me, and I shot 'em". Cuts down on all the HR workplace procedures.
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @David: Johnny wasn't one for red tape.
	11:30am dmartnewmexico: Shout out from Burque!
	♥ 11:30am Son Of Pantz: Play that Psycho song, Joe! "You think I'm crazy momma" or whatever he says.
	♥ 11:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: Overlooked 'modern' country artist: Lindi Ortega. I see you did play a track. Man, the title track from Cigarettes & Truckstops knocked me out back then.
	♥ 11:32am tim from washington: Here's how to write memorable lyrics: 1. Mention cities/states/places 2. Use days of the week 3. Count frequently
	11:32am TDK60: So Joe, you do play both kinds of music.
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: @TDK60: Country AND western.
	♥ 11:35am chresti: So uplifting..
	♥ 11:36am Dennis Diken: back to the Spoonful for a second - I heard somewhere that "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" was Brian W's inspiration for "God Only Knows." the bridge to The Kinks "Shangri-La" was inspired by the section of "Summer In The City" that sings "but at night it's a different world, go out and find a girl, etc." and "Good Day Sunshine' was a reaction to "Daydream." the Spoonful spent an evening with Lennon, Harrison and Brian Jones in London, ca '66
	♥ 11:37am Jason from Houston: To the future, chresti!
	♥ 11:38am chresti: Ha Jason, you think it's bad now...

	🎸 ♥ 11:43am rx scabin: TVZ!
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think that just as LBJ's Civil Rights Act in 1964 cost the Democratic Party the South - indefinitely - a similar bifurcation of Liberal Folk & Conservative Country has occurred.
	♥ 11:44am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying, MF!
	♥ 11:44am dreamyandseedy: loving this country set!! i grew up on country music, but i fell away for a long time, i have been wanting to come back
	♥ 11:45am karlward: One of the things I miss about radio from before the Clinton-era radio ownership deregulation was hearing great local country/blues/zydeco stations while driving through the South, so much great 70s country on those old stations.
	♥ 11:45am tim from washington: @Joe - I wonder if Joe Belock's gonna be able to get on the mic in 16 minutes. This some serious tears in your beers songs. Someone at the station may need to give him a hug and rub his back.
	♥ 11:45am Jason from Houston: Ahhhhhh! This Janet Simpson is so fine.
	♥ 11:46am David (in London): We had a band here in the UK (from London's Camden) called The Rockingbirds, who were not only great themselves, but really opened the door for a proper appreciation of country in the UK.
