	2:09pm MOM WHIG: hi myron feld
	♥ 2:10pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - you're late! I want a note!
	♥ 2:10pm myron feld: Hello MOM!
	♥ 2:11pm myron feld: @DD: The dog ate my internet connection.
	2:12pm Eric R: long ago I saw the Youngbloods doing "Donna". I mentioned this to Jesse Colin Young on Facebook and he was pretty effusive in his Ritchie Valens love.
	♥ 2:15pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - that's cool! Ritchie was a big influence on Carl Wilson's guitar strumming style (a la "Surfer Girl")
	2:20pm MOM WHIG: Hey there Eric - good to see you here
	2:21pm Eric R: morning, Mom! I finished my project last night around 11 pm...but now I'm on a new one. See you full time in November!

	2:23pm Eric R: Glynis, thanks for that cool card!

	♥ 2:23pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hi MW You hanging up the hat in Nov, Eric?
	♥ 2:24pm Dennis Diken: hey, Glynis GirlGroupGirl!
	2:24pm Eric R: Glynis, not at all. I'll have to work forever! But election work will be done then.
	♥ 2:25pm Woo: Johnny's example of one song with two different sets of lyrics
	♥ 2:26pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hello Denis!
	2:26pm Eric R: I'm looking at the just released list of nominees for the Jan Wenner Hall of Jan Wenner Favorites. No surprise that it's underwhelming. I hope, just because it's so sad, that Carly Simon gets in while Johnny Burnette and Link Wray and so on, are left out.
	♥ 2:28pm Cacophone Jeff: Hello Dennis & Denizens! OMG! I could have sworn this was JD McPherson until I looked at the playlist. Awesome! I'll have to check out more Tony Rossini! Thank you!
	2:29pm MOM WHIG: hey there Caco Jeff
	♥ 2:29pm Cacophone Jeff: Haha! Okay, either I messed up or the playlist was updated?
	♥ 2:29pm Cacophone Jeff: Hello MOM WHIG!
	2:29pm Eric R: Jeff, yes, the 2nd
	♥ 2:30pm Cacophone Jeff: @Eric R: Thank you! At least I don't feel like a complete fool!
	2:30pm Eric R: ok, so I can't believe this is the Pretty Things. Dennis is playing with us.
	2:31pm MOM WHIG: OOPS The Big Bopper
	2:31pm Eric R: let's see who this comes up as. Great Buddy song
	♥ 2:32pm Dennis Diken: @Cacophone Jeff, @Eric R - yeah, the system sometimes reads the info wrong and automatically inserts what it thinks the cut is!
	♥ 2:32pm Woo: Love this Buddy Holly!
	2:33pm MOM WHIG: LUV Buddy Holly too
	♥ 2:33pm Cacophone Jeff: @DennisD: Thank you! That's too funny!
	♥ 2:33pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - me too, bud! one of his best, methinks! love the Clovers original but this one is really tough!
	2:34pm Eric R: the first LP I ever spent my allowance on was the greatest hits, The Buddy Holly Story. I don't remember Buddy when he was alive. I was too young. But I do remember DJs saying "the late, great Buddy Holly". Probably 1960.
	2:34pm Reechie: Love this early Buddy stuff when he was still trying to find his "voice".
	2:34pm Eric R: or maybe my Mom picked it up for me...I might not have had an allowance that early.
	2:35pm WLSClark: I love this great followup
	♥ 2:36pm Woo: The Buddy-Holly-Joe Meek-Connection
	2:37pm Eric R: "the wind was blowing"
	2:37pm Eric R: fantastic Hollies
	♥ 2:37pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - cool memories - that's the Buddy LP with the big close up pic of him on the cover?
	2:37pm WLSClark: Eric, indeed
	2:38pm Eric R: Dennis, yes. I was crazy about Buddy and then the Beatles so when the Beatles covered Words Of Love it was like the best of everything.
	2:40pm Kevin: My mother found my copy of "Ting A Ling" while dropping off clothes at a goodwill store! She recognized the name...Hi everybody.
	2:40pm Eric R: hey Kev!
	2:41pm Eric R: let's hear it for mothers!
	2:41pm WLSClark: I believe the Hollies did this too on their 1980 Holly Tribute LP
	♥ 2:42pm Dennis Diken: hi Kevin, glad you're here! @WLSClark - could be, ain't heard that LP in years!
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: hi there Kevin thanks for coming here today
	2:43pm Eric R: here you go, Woo
	2:43pm WLSClark: Dennis, like their Dylan tribute Lp 10 years earlier, I don't think it was a great idea to do either LP.
	2:43pm Kevin: Hi Eric. And one of Buddy's rare ones. That good deed made me a mama's boy!
	2:44pm Reechie: Did disk jockeys really read the news like that back then?
	2:44pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - we did Tribute to Buddy Holly on the Joe Meek tribute night right?
	2:44pm WLSClark: They DID use the teletype in background for sound. We had one in our basement that worked!
	♥ 2:45pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yes! I think Robert Burke Warren sang it?
	2:45pm WLSClark: Someone sent me a small article about the day before and the bus break down.
	2:46pm Jon Graboff: Ah. I was gonna ask who sang it!
	2:46pm Eric R: cover time!
	2:46pm WLSClark: This song is so excellent and B side of my alltime fave song.
	2:47pm Kevin: Hi Mom Whig & Dennis. A balmy 43 here today, but a foot of snow expected by Friday.
	2:48pm Eric R: this sounds like the Hollies backing track.
	2:48pm Eric R: well, almost. Organ?
	2:49pm MOM WHIG: Kevin - same here sort of sunny - snow in the future in a few days
	♥ 2:51pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - the great Nutley Sam did the track for Miriam's version of "So Lonely"
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Can't believe that it's 63 years - for that tragic day!
	2:51pm Eric R: thanks Dennis.
	2:54pm Eric R: Mom, I don't remember! I sort of wish I did. I sort of wish I'd heard Little Richard in his prime. I was vaguely aware of Elvis Presley. I was a good age for the Beatles but the 50s...very hazy for me at the time. Of course I've gone and listened to as much as I can so I know it pretty well but it's different than hearing it at the time.
	2:55pm WLSClark: WOW!! Happy birthday Eric and Graham!!!
	2:56pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - nice reference to "Hard to Believe But It's True". Well done!
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: I forgot to mention that Joe Meek was so obsessed with Buddy and his aura that he chose February 3 (the anniversary of Holly's death) of 1957 to off his landlady - and himself!
	2:59pm Reechie: That Razor & Tie comp was my introduction to the wild world of Joe Meek, for which I continue to be grateful to you!
	2:59pm WLSClark: Dennis, right is right! Well, I guess......
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - thanks, pal!
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: you are welcome, Reechie!
	2:59pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Denny for today's show - gotta run for now - I had a GREAT time.
	♥ 3:00pm Woo: Agree with Reechie
	♥ 3:01pm Cacophone Jeff: @Dennis: Didn't know that about Joe Meek. WOW!
	♥ 3:02pm Dennis Diken: thanks so much MOM WHIG - see you again soon around these parts! @Woo - at your service! @Cacophone Jeff - yes, many moons ago it was!
	3:03pm Eric R: see you later, Mom.
	♥ 3:04pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Listening to groovy tunes while watching all the drama unfolding around my usually sleepy lil’ neighborhood!
	♥ 3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Glynis GirlGroupGirl - what's going on over there?
	♥ 3:07pm myron feld: I hope Gus "The Groove" Lewis had at least one battle of the bands with Richard "Groove" Holmes.
	♥ 3:10pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - yes, one can only hppe!
	♥ 3:11pm Dennis Diken: *hope
	3:14pm WLSClark: Brenda!!
	♥ 3:14pm Andrew in Toronto: What an awesome set!!
	♥ 3:14pm Dennis Diken: how's that for a segue?!
	♥ 3:16pm myron feld: I was gonna put in a plug for the Sinner's Crossroads show, too. One of WFMU's best. Also available Thursday mornings at 9:00 AM on this very R&S Stream. And no, I am not Kevin Nutt.
	♥ 3:17pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto - THANKS! thanks, myron - love Sinner's Crossroads to pieces!! Kevin Nutt rules!!
	3:19pm Eric R: great show Dennis. I'm going back to work. Seriously, it's impossible to get work done with Coltrane playing!
	♥ 3:22pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - thanks for hanging out, see you next time!
	3:26pm Kevin: Nice, nice, very nice...my sentiments also, with a nod to Ambrosia!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Ive heard this great phone call--talk about wildly cool!
	♥ 3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Kevin - ha! Ambrosia!!
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: Buddy comes face to face with the music bizness!
	3:34pm WLSClark: Makes you wonder if Richie Valens had similar talks with Bob Keane at Del-Fi and imagine if Big Bopper tried to get a better contract or longer with mercury?????
	♥ 3:37pm Power Papi: More context on the call here: blog.wfmu.org...
	3:40pm WLSClark: Papi, cool. Never knew about this blog.
	♥ 3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Power Papi - thanks, I'll check it later!
	3:47pm Nezrok: Always loved this song.
	3:48pm Nezrok: Graham!
	3:49pm WLSClark: Just heard this on Snayle's show 2 weeks ago. Great B side. This isn't the 45 version, I dont think?
	♥ 3:49pm Dennis Diken: hey Nezrock! @WLSClark - I think it's a remix or remaster?
	♥ 3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great afternoon!!
	3:50pm LesleyK: thanks Dennis, terrific show!
	♥ 3:51pm Dennis Diken: thanks so very much Andrew in Toronto and LesleyK!
	♥ 3:51pm myron feld: Denny's Den: where Coltrane meets the Bellamy Brothers while listening in on Buddy Holly's phone call. A great one once again, Dennis, thanks!

	♥ 3:55pm Dennis Diken: @Cacophone Jeff - at your service! thanks! @Jon Graboff - you got it, tough guy!
	3:55pm LesleyK: Oh The Breevort building....my eye Dr is in that bldg. Did not know buddy Holly used to live there...I think that's what you said?
	♥ 3:56pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - yes! I think you can look up which apt was Buddy and Maria Elena's, I'm pretty sure
	♥ 3:56pm Dennis Diken: “THANKS A MILLION ‘YON DENIZENS’ FOR MAKING THE SCENE IN THE DEN TODAY! HOPING TO HANG WITH YOU ALL NEXT WEDNESDAY! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!”

	2:40pm Eric R: hey Kev!
	2:41pm Eric R: let's hear it for mothers!
	2:41pm WLSClark: I believe the Hollies did this too on their 1980 Holly Tribute LP
	♥ 2:42pm Dennis Diken: hi Kevin, glad you're here! @WLSClark - could be, ain't heard that LP in years!
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: hi there Kevin thanks for coming here today
	2:43pm Eric R: here you go, Woo
	2:43pm WLSClark: Dennis, like their Dylan tribute Lp 10 years earlier, I don't think it was a great idea to do either LP.
	2:43pm Kevin: Hi Eric. And one of Buddy's rare ones. That good deed made me a mama's boy!
	2:44pm Reechie: Did disk jockeys really read the news like that back then?
	2:44pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - we did Tribute to Buddy Holly on the Joe Meek tribute night right?
	2:44pm WLSClark: They DID use the teletype in background for sound. We had one in our basement that worked!
	♥ 2:45pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yes! I think Robert Burke Warren sang it?
	2:45pm WLSClark: Someone sent me a small article about the day before and the bus break down.
	2:46pm Jon Graboff: Ah. I was gonna ask who sang it!
	2:46pm Eric R: cover time!
	2:46pm WLSClark: This song is so excellent and B side of my alltime fave song.
	2:47pm Kevin: Hi Mom Whig & Dennis. A balmy 43 here today, but a foot of snow expected by Friday.
	2:48pm Eric R: this sounds like the Hollies backing track.
	2:48pm Eric R: well, almost. Organ?
	2:49pm MOM WHIG: Kevin - same here sort of sunny - snow in the future in a few days
	♥ 2:51pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - the great Nutley Sam did the track for Miriam's version of "So Lonely"
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Can't believe that it's 63 years - for that tragic day!
	2:51pm Eric R: thanks Dennis.
	2:54pm Eric R: Mom, I don't remember! I sort of wish I did. I sort of wish I'd heard Little Richard in his prime. I was vaguely aware of Elvis Presley. I was a good age for the Beatles but the 50s...very hazy for me at the time. Of course I've gone and listened to as much as I can so I know it pretty well but it's different than hearing it at the time.
	2:55pm WLSClark: WOW!! Happy birthday Eric and Graham!!!
	2:56pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - nice reference to "Hard to Believe But It's True". Well done!
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: I forgot to mention that Joe Meek was so obsessed with Buddy and his aura that he chose February 3 (the anniversary of Holly's death) of 1957 to off his landlady - and himself!
	2:59pm Reechie: That Razor & Tie comp was my introduction to the wild world of Joe Meek, for which I continue to be grateful to you!
	2:59pm WLSClark: Dennis, right is right! Well, I guess......
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - thanks, pal!
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: you are welcome, Reechie!
	2:59pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Denny for today's show - gotta run for now - I had a GREAT time.
	♥ 3:00pm Woo: Agree with Reechie
	♥ 3:01pm Cacophone Jeff: @Dennis: Didn't know that about Joe Meek. WOW!
	♥ 3:02pm Dennis Diken: thanks so much MOM WHIG - see you again soon around these parts! @Woo - at your service! @Cacophone Jeff - yes, many moons ago it was!
	3:03pm Eric R: see you later, Mom.
	♥ 3:04pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Listening to groovy tunes while watching all the drama unfolding around my usually sleepy lil’ neighborhood!
	♥ 3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Glynis GirlGroupGirl - what's going on over there?
	♥ 3:07pm myron feld: I hope Gus "The Groove" Lewis had at least one battle of the bands with Richard "Groove" Holmes.

	3:26pm Kevin: Nice, nice, very nice...my sentiments also, with a nod to Ambrosia!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Ive heard this great phone call--talk about wildly cool!
	♥ 3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Kevin - ha! Ambrosia!!
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: Buddy comes face to face with the music bizness!
	3:34pm WLSClark: Makes you wonder if Richie Valens had similar talks with Bob Keane at Del-Fi and imagine if Big Bopper tried to get a better contract or longer with mercury?????
	♥ 3:37pm Power Papi: More context on the call here: blog.wfmu.org...
	3:40pm WLSClark: Papi, cool. Never knew about this blog.
	♥ 3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Power Papi - thanks, I'll check it later!
	3:47pm Nezrok: Always loved this song.
	3:48pm Nezrok: Graham!
	3:49pm WLSClark: Just heard this on Snayle's show 2 weeks ago. Great B side. This isn't the 45 version, I dont think?
	♥ 3:49pm Dennis Diken: hey Nezrock! @WLSClark - I think it's a remix or remaster?
