	11:17am gf2002: ↳ Song: "The Chokin' Kind" by "Z.Z. Hill" That hi-hat pattern sounds like a pretty standard roll like you'd usually hear on a snare drum. Listen to 7 And 7 Is by Love and the poor drummer had to do that pattern on snare continuously for the entire song!
	11:18am Bob: WHERE"S CLARKE!
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:17 Not quite as weird as I am.
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:18 I was wondering where he was, too.
	11:19am bobobob plasticland: Handy...but the Drummer flaming Groovies told me he was at a party San Fran.where the residents were un eyeballed
	11:19am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "I Feel Fine" by "Offbeats, The" I wonder if this is one that WFMU Dj Premium from a few years ago, a record filled with Beatles Knock-Offs.

	11:27am James in ATL: Agreed on Fred & Alan! Radio Gold!
	11:29am MobiusTurnbuckle: I needed MFWs premium because of this song!
	11:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Miss Lulu's Wig" by "Leonard Lee" What's with the various songs that poke fun at follicularly challenged women? I'm thinking of Professor Longhair's "Looka There, She Ain't Got No Hair"
	11:29am JimB: Michael, would really enjoy you and Pseu doing a marathon show together next year.

	11:41am drr: Michael, what was the 'no more' song? It got skipped in the Accu-Playlist.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ McGroovey @11:32 yes, exactly. What an odd subgenre!
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: Someone get me some food.

	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ bllk @11:45 Though, last week was El Forno
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ @11:45 Dang!
	11:46am Barney Grubbs: oh yeah! My brother lived in a one bedroom apartment in an old convent behind St Casimir’s in the Ironbound when he was in med school 20 years ago, and the food & bars were great.
	11:47am Adammets: I was just in Newark for the Philip Roth festival thing
	11:48am bllk: @Michael: Seabra's rocks. Very authentic. And I'm from Portugal. Been going there for 30 years+ myself.

	11:55am ledzeppelinsucks: Jesus Lizard, Nomeansno top live bands for me.
	11:56am Kenny rotten: Great Song thanks Michael! If Johnny and the Band were close to sober they were great.
	11:58am Scott from Denver: Cheap Trick at the Royal Grove in Lincoln NE 02/19/1987. Best ever!
	11:59am Michael Shelley: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:58 Ive seen some really good CT shows (but not recently!)
	11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:58 That would have been fun.
	12:00pm Scott from Denver: My co-worker Tina sleep with Robin Zander after the show. Oh so sorted.
	12:01pm Moammar: Joe Ely and his band with David Grissom and Bobby Keys at the Texas Union circa 1987. Unbelievable stuff.
	12:03pm clarke: hey nowwww overslept!! in a good way!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ @11:45 you are fucking brilliant!
	12:07pm paul: He killed his mother.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:05 that was directed to ? above, btw!
	12:08pm Ed From Jersey City: Jim Gordon’s story is, above all, tragic.
	12:08pm Bob: Hey now, Clarke! Oversleeping beats the alternative. Or something.
	12:08pm clarke: gordon wrote I'm Afraid that the Everly Bros took to new heights!!
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Jim Gordon's discography is astounding.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 yes, it was some successful sleep - after waking too early.
	12:10pm gf2002: Jim Gordon was one of the finest drummers of his era. One of my favorites too. That's him on "Classical Gas" too, a great drum performance.
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by "Jimmy Gordon A... I dig the hard bop angle on this one!
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: I have so many best shows I can't even list them.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:08 of course the everlys could sing the wichita phonebook...
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clarke!
	12:11pm dreamyandseedy: you tried to get David Kershenbaum to talk about Jim Gordon when you interviewed him but he wouldn’t go into details!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:10 speaking of wichita!! hey now!
	12:11pm myron feld: I probably saw Jim Gordon at the first concert I attended, as Delaney & Bonnie were on the bill, July 1969.
	12:12pm JimB: Apparently the discography left out Derek and the Dominoes!
	12:12pm gf2002: ↳ myron feld @12:11 That is a fantastic first concert! D&B + Friends were awesome. Bobby Whitlock
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'll say this, I saw a Lincoln band a few weeks ago, called Dirty Talker, and the nearly brought me to tears they were so good. They added a violin player and damn. They sounded like some band that could have played the Knit in the 80s. Totally downtown NYC.
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 I've been to Wichita once, I think.
	12:13pm myron feld: ↳ gf2002 @12:12 Yes, the full bill was Free, then D&B, then Blind Faith.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 cool, on both!
	12:14pm gf2002: And Jim Gordon played one of the most famous sampled drum tracks of all time, "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band.
	12:15pm myron feld: ↳ JimB @12:12 JimB, the "Layla" album is listed in the 1970 section of the Gordon discography.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 ever see an artist from wichita: Suzy Schinn?? (she's in l.a. now, tho).
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: Cows were amazing. I'm going to see Swans in the Fall.
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:15 I have not.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:13 WOW!
	12:17pm gf2002: ↳ myron feld @12:13 Wow, what a great bill! If I have the history correct, that's how Clapton eventually came to join D&B after Blind Faith collapsed and he had fun jamming with D&B during that tour. Then George Harrison eventually joined up too, and that core band became both Derek & The Dominoes and George's rhythm section for All Things Must Pass
	12:18pm Scott from Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 I'll check them out.
	12:19pm gf2002: I thought it was hilarious that Zappa called Jim "Skippy"
	12:19pm Bob: Do the Delaney and Bonnie records hold up? I feel like no. You had to be there probably.
	12:19pm paul: ↳ Song: "Little White Church" by "Billy Strings" I think they sang this song on the Andy Griffith Show.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: This town does not have a place that serves Thai roti and I'm full of despair.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:19 not any i have heard
	12:21pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:19 I think they were better live than the studio albums. They could have been much bigger but Delaney had a massive ego and a personality that got in the way...according to some who were in the band. But live, they were a powerhouse.
	12:21pm myron feld: ↳ Bob @12:19 I still enjoy the live album. "Let's keep Croydon a swinging place for big shows! And a happy Christmas!"
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" Here's yet another one referencing a woman losing her wig. Is this an intentional theme, Mr. DJ?
	12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" "just for a drink..."
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" Never gets old.
	12:25pm Jay: Surprised you didn't play Ben Vaughn's "Poor Jimmy Gordon."
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:19 One thing to consider is how D&B had something special going on to get musicians like Clapton, Harrison, and studio players like Keltner, Gordon, Bobby Keys and Jim Price on horns, etc to join their touring band. Some of the finest musicians of their era decided to tour with Delaney & Bonnie, so something was going on and it wasn't the money
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 Really doesn't
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 MovieTime, Frank?
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 nope
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 plus - somebody listening has never heard it before
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:26 Only got one this week. He Walked By Night. Half noir, half fake documentary. Pretty meh despite a good cast; Richard Basehart is quite good as the baddie.
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 It always feels like the first time for me.
	12:29pm clarke: yes, seen that but not recently!
	12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sugar Sugar" by "Los Mismos" Well damn
	12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sugar Sugar" by "Los Mismos" Better than the original.
	12:30pm egould: Sugar Sugar en Español es mucho bueno. Me gusta!
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 i have to say that the new Perry Mason is amazing - in such a sordid way.
	12:31pm dreamyandseedy: just reading about Jim Gordon, one article said as a child he made drums out of garbage cans and played them til his parents bought him a kit.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:31 Interesting...
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ dreamyandseedy @12:31 what is new about that? ha ha
	12:32pm johnk77: delaney bramlett was a bartender at the palomino
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:31 it is so period-correct and well-written - highly recommend!
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: yo Clarke! I concur about Perry Mason
	12:33pm Peter Horvath: Wow, I’m late to the party. Happy Saturday to Michael and the #1’ers
	12:33pm egould: Powerpop.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 an unexpected pleasure!
	12:34pm clarke: also i saw this pretty sappy brit film from a few years ago, The Tape - but, it is actually pretty cool.
	12:34pm ?: Pearl Harbour dated Mick Jones of The Clash
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Good bass player!
	12:35pm Gaston Musella: Super show today. A Breathe of fresh air with a capital B
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:33 What are they gonna remake next -- "Cannon" starring Zach Galifianakis? Actually, that could work...
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 man, as kids we spent a lot of time making fun of Cannon, but i have newfound respect for Jim Conrad - he is nearly EVERY radio program from the 40's!! and great in all of them!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Apparently bassist Michael Steele is the only Bangle who didn't have some of her parts played by others on All Over the Place.
	12:37pm Biba McLurex: @? Nope. Paul.
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:36 Yeah, it was easy to body-shame the fat guy detective when you're a kid. We're older and wiser now, and fatter.
	12:38pm clarke: squeak fer yerself!! ha ha
	12:39pm johnk77: the pearl harbor album was recorded at the automatt san francisco produced by david kahne engineered by jim gaines
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:37 Well I'm 2 outta 3 anyway.
	12:39pm clarke: and, of course, i meant Bill Conrad - or william if you, er, will.
	12:40pm Adammets: could follow up with stoplight roses
	12:40pm Kotzwinkled: The Cactus Blossoms recent Dylan covers are so good.
	12:40pm benji: Fantastic song!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 Hubig - there's a new sherriff in town - Haydel Bakeries now has a product on the pie rack - Hand Pies!!
	12:40pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Such a great track! And such a highlight of the live shows back in the Ate-Tees!
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Got It (Release It)" by "Pearl Harbor And The... Up here NewHampshuh aways thot PearlHarbor sounded very 'Boston'. (They are not.)
	12:41pm gf2002: "Cannon" was a great show! I've seen almost every episode and William Conrad was terrific in that role. And it also led to learning all the other roles he played in his career, he was great. And the narrator of The Fugitive...
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 i need to re-visit Cannon!
	12:42pm Moammar: This a very mellow physical threat to John.
	12:42pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon Michael! Thanks for playing me up to Saugerties.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Moammar @12:42 it's no Stagger Lee!
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:42 It used to be on MeTV late night, and I have the complete series DVD box set on my want list. MeTV used to run Mannix followed by Cannon, followed by Barnaby Jones. Great 70's TV, right there.
	12:43pm clarke: uhhh, is that in Zone 5???
	12:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "Thank You John" by "Willie Tee" The sweetest song with the most vicious lyrics.
	12:44pm Moammar: "A jive, short-time, monkey-time stud." I plan to use this phrase at some point in my professional life.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 used to make fun of Barnaby Jones, too. what a brat i wuz.
	12:45pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 Also narrator of "Rocky and Bullwinkle".
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:42 I'm so glad I mentioned Cannon. Obviously many among us have deep-seated feelings about the show.
	12:45pm ?: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 They still run those three shows, in that order, from 2am-4am!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:45 ...now yer talkin'...
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 indeedy
	12:46pm gf2002: One of Conrad's best small roles in a film, especially that opening scene: "The Killers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ9QibWGP80
	12:46pm Bob: Is Dando ok? I always panic a little when I hear him now. Saw the Lemonheads with Juliana a few months back and it's not pretty. Sad really.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 agree! but also his radio stuff around that time is stellar - ALL of it!
	12:47pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ clarke @12:32 just thought it was cute. i like learning how people start playing and/or how they get inspired to begin. supposedly a book is being written about him so maybe i’ll learn more
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ @12:45 That's great! Don't mess with perfection! I can't stay up that late anymore but when I could I watched all of them
	12:47pm Hams: ah, i like that can of creature comforts, michael. made in my hometown. didn't know it was around these parts.
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:46 Yeah, he was in very bad shape in Omaha last year. Goddamn shame.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ dreamyandseedy @12:47 i would say pretty much every drummer started out on wastebaskets and stuff like that.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:48 of a certain era that is
	12:49pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:48 Not me; I started playing drums after years of asking drummers to do something and them not ever doing it.
	12:50pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water" by "Stonewall J... This is one badass side.
	12:50pm clarke: well, you just said it right thar.
	12:50pm drr: ↳ drr @12:49 After I played drums a little bit I stopped asking drummers to do things.
	12:51pm clarke: but you were using someone else's drums.
	12:51pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:47 Thanks Clarke, I have to dive into his radio work too, I haven't heard that part of his career. But his resume is amazing all around. Another favorite was his role as Turk in the noir "The Racket"
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: Toto opening for Journey down the street from me tonight. Sigh...
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 bill conrad is practically featured EVERY night on ABN - Antioch Broadcast Network. the overnites are mystery/suspense shows.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:51 ha ha ha, hold the line!!
	12:54pm johnk77: great work today selecter toto live was often way less than the sum of its parts back in the before times
	12:55pm Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 That guy truly had it all in my opinion. Should have been a superstar like Glen Campbell or something. For his generation. Poster boy for don't do the drugs.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:53 Lol. If Porcaro were still alive, I'd go. Or if Rolie and/or Perry were still with Journey.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Or if tickets were, like, $10.
	12:56pm HyperDose: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:55 Porcaro was a beast. Don't garden alone.
	12:56pm clarke: or if it wasn't 200 bucks!!
	12:57pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:51 ha, now that I think about it, the first "drums" I recorded with was a banjo with a paper towel wrapped around the strings, striking it with a racquetball that was impaled on a piece of coat hanger. I believe I was a recent college graduate at the time.
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:56 I already spent a bunch for two tickets to Peter Gabriel.
	12:58pm egould: Evan Dando was the first person named Evan (other than myself) I ever met. My band opened for Lemonheads in Bloomington, IN back in 1991. Nice guy. Take drugs. Have fun. Don’t turn drug’s into your lifestyle.
	12:58pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:55 Yeah
	12:59pm Frank In Queens: Har har har. Thank you Karen.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~

	11:03am Bob: You couldn't really better Carl's lead but it's amazing that Brian would give this song away to someone else to sing. That's a geniuss.
	11:04am drr: Good morning. Rain was predicted overnight here in southeast Louisiana but right now it's sunny and perfect.
	11:04am Frank In Queens: Suddenly, its the Residents
	11:05am drr: free-form sound collage

	11:06am Frank In Queens: ↳ Fred And Alan @11:06 Hey there, guys!
	11:06am Bob: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:04 Frank, my question of the day was going to be "should I go see the Residents tonight at the MOCAD?" Has anyone seen them on this tour?
	11:07am listener phat in Lincoln: Morning
	11:07am Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @11:06 I've never seen them, but my advice is, go see them if you've never seen them before. Though, that's my advice to anyone debating going to see a band they've never seen before.
	11:07am nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...Listening continuously, but will be bopping in and out of chat. I have a cleaning emergency. Thoughts and prayers needed and appreciated.
	11:08am Daybreak is Curious...: Ladies and Gentlemen... WFMU! ... what?

	11:08am Baja Joe: Good morning Michael. I repeat, Michael.
	11:08am ledzeppelinsucks: Mud season is kicking fugly in ME . I have driven 11,000 miles on mud and slush since 1/26 for an FCC project. Realtors in rural areas say it's safe and the locals claim 'we've had break ins'.
	11:09am Bob: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:07 I hear ya. Since covid especially, I've tried to do that more. I'm more a curious observer than Residents fan but they are so original. I kinda feel the urge.
	11:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if TheResidents are on tour - do TheTourists have a residence ? Maybe they take turns...
	11:10am Frank In Queens: ↳ Bob @11:09 If you can afford the tix, do it.
	11:11am Webhamster Henry: That chowda looks good for a rainy day!
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hard to imagine Residents being less than interesting.
	11:13am bobobob D'blon drummer plasticland: got that from Stu Copland actually
	11:13am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "The Chokin' Kind" by "Z.Z. Hill" Ooooooooowee this song is GOOD!!!

	11:16am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:06 A friend saw them last night and said they were great.
	11:16am bobobob: in a circle Snakefinger in middle
	11:17am Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:16 Is your friend weird? Just wondering.
	11:17am gf2002: ↳ Song: "The Chokin' Kind" by "Z.Z. Hill" That hi-hat pattern sounds like a pretty standard roll like you'd usually hear on a snare drum. Listen to 7 And 7 Is by Love and the poor drummer had to do that pattern on snare continuously for the entire song!
	11:18am Bob: WHERE"S CLARKE!
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:17 Not quite as weird as I am.
	11:19am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:18 I was wondering where he was, too.
	11:19am bobobob plasticland: Handy...but the Drummer flaming Groovies told me he was at a party San Fran.where the residents were un eyeballed
	11:19am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "I Feel Fine" by "Offbeats, The" I wonder if this is one that WFMU Dj Premium from a few years ago, a record filled with Beatles Knock-Offs.
	11:20am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Feel Fine" by "Offbeats, The" Really a good cover. That bass player is ripping it TF up.
	11:22am Bob: I love this!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: THANKS to everyone who Donates to WFMU when I cannot. For Real.
	11:25am fm Mike: I need to donate this weekend. I know it's late, but I've been trying to get all my big bills squared away first.
	11:27am fm Mike: Imma go to a local Latin Festival now. It has been good listening! I'll donate later today! Bon Jour peoples!!!
	11:27am James in ATL: Agreed on Fred & Alan! Radio Gold!
	11:29am MobiusTurnbuckle: I needed MFWs premium because of this song!
	11:29am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Miss Lulu's Wig" by "Leonard Lee" What's with the various songs that poke fun at follicularly challenged women? I'm thinking of Professor Longhair's "Looka There, She Ain't Got No Hair"
	11:29am JimB: Michael, would really enjoy you and Pseu doing a marathon show together next year.
	11:31am Bob: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:29 Wigs will be flipped
	11:32am McGroovey: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:29 Of course, there's "Bald Headed Woman" (The Kinks, The Who, etc.)
	11:33am Bob: Ray sounds a lot like Richard Manuel to me
	11:33am rx scabin: Thank you for the musical pearls. I must leave to visit my mother (94) in rehab, not the Amy Winehouse kind.
	11:34am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @11:33 I thought the same. Had a Band vibe
	11:34am Joe B: greetings Michael and everyone
	11:34am Webhamster Henry: My pal Alec Cumming on WPKN Bridgeport has an interview with Peter Noone coming.
	11:35am myron feld: ↳ Song: "For Your Love" by "Herman's Hermits" In answer to your query, The Yardbirds did it first. Herman and the boys came next. I heard a good version by Fleetwood Mac the other day.
	11:37am drr: ↳ Joe B @11:34 hey Joe, say hi to Linsk Minyk if you see him.
	11:37am Joe B: ↳ drr @11:37 right after the cabbage rolls and coffee are served

	11:41am drr: Michael, what was the 'no more' song? It got skipped in the Accu-Playlist.
	11:43am Hughie Considine: ↳ McGroovey @11:32 yes, exactly. What an odd subgenre!
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: Someone get me some food.
	11:45am ?: Yo day drunks ! You did it again for another year ! Wooooooo !
	11:45am bllk: @Micheal: Is it Seabra's?

	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ bllk @11:45 indeed!
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ bllk @11:45 Though, last week was El Forno
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ @11:45 Dang!
	11:46am Barney Grubbs: oh yeah! My brother lived in a one bedroom apartment in an old convent behind St Casimir’s in the Ironbound when he was in med school 20 years ago, and the food & bars were great.
	11:47am Adammets: I was just in Newark for the Philip Roth festival thing
	11:48am bllk: @Michael: Seabra's rocks. Very authentic. And I'm from Portugal. Been going there for 30 years+ myself.

	11:58am Scott from Denver: Cheap Trick at the Royal Grove in Lincoln NE 02/19/1987. Best ever!
	11:59am Michael Shelley: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:58 Ive seen some really good CT shows (but not recently!)
	11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott from Denver @11:58 That would have been fun.
	12:00pm Scott from Denver: My co-worker Tina sleep with Robin Zander after the show. Oh so sorted.
	12:01pm Moammar: Joe Ely and his band with David Grissom and Bobby Keys at the Texas Union circa 1987. Unbelievable stuff.
	12:03pm clarke: hey nowwww overslept!! in a good way!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ @11:45 you are fucking brilliant!
	12:07pm paul: He killed his mother.
	12:07pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:05 that was directed to ? above, btw!
	12:08pm Ed From Jersey City: Jim Gordon’s story is, above all, tragic.
	12:08pm Bob: Hey now, Clarke! Oversleeping beats the alternative. Or something.
	12:08pm clarke: gordon wrote I'm Afraid that the Everly Bros took to new heights!!
	12:08pm Frank In Queens: Jim Gordon's discography is astounding.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:08 yes, it was some successful sleep - after waking too early.
	12:10pm gf2002: Jim Gordon was one of the finest drummers of his era. One of my favorites too. That's him on "Classical Gas" too, a great drum performance.
	12:10pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by "Jimmy Gordon A... I dig the hard bop angle on this one!
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: I have so many best shows I can't even list them.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:08 of course the everlys could sing the wichita phonebook...
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: Clarke!
	12:11pm dreamyandseedy: you tried to get David Kershenbaum to talk about Jim Gordon when you interviewed him but he wouldn’t go into details!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:10 speaking of wichita!! hey now!
	12:11pm myron feld: I probably saw Jim Gordon at the first concert I attended, as Delaney & Bonnie were on the bill, July 1969.
	12:12pm JimB: Apparently the discography left out Derek and the Dominoes!
	12:12pm gf2002: ↳ myron feld @12:11 That is a fantastic first concert! D&B + Friends were awesome. Bobby Whitlock
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'll say this, I saw a Lincoln band a few weeks ago, called Dirty Talker, and the nearly brought me to tears they were so good. They added a violin player and damn. They sounded like some band that could have played the Knit in the 80s. Totally downtown NYC.
	12:13pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 I've been to Wichita once, I think.
	12:13pm myron feld: ↳ gf2002 @12:12 Yes, the full bill was Free, then D&B, then Blind Faith.
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 cool, on both!
	12:14pm gf2002: And Jim Gordon played one of the most famous sampled drum tracks of all time, "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo Band.
	12:15pm myron feld: ↳ JimB @12:12 JimB, the "Layla" album is listed in the 1970 section of the Gordon discography.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 ever see an artist from wichita: Suzy Schinn?? (she's in l.a. now, tho).
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: Cows were amazing. I'm going to see Swans in the Fall.
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:15 I have not.
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ myron feld @12:13 WOW!
	12:17pm gf2002: ↳ myron feld @12:13 Wow, what a great bill! If I have the history correct, that's how Clapton eventually came to join D&B after Blind Faith collapsed and he had fun jamming with D&B during that tour. Then George Harrison eventually joined up too, and that core band became both Derek & The Dominoes and George's rhythm section for All Things Must Pass
	12:18pm Scott from Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:13 I'll check them out.
	12:19pm gf2002: I thought it was hilarious that Zappa called Jim "Skippy"
	12:19pm Bob: Do the Delaney and Bonnie records hold up? I feel like no. You had to be there probably.
	12:19pm paul: ↳ Song: "Little White Church" by "Billy Strings" I think they sang this song on the Andy Griffith Show.
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: This town does not have a place that serves Thai roti and I'm full of despair.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:19 not any i have heard
	12:21pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:19 I think they were better live than the studio albums. They could have been much bigger but Delaney had a massive ego and a personality that got in the way...according to some who were in the band. But live, they were a powerhouse.
	12:21pm myron feld: ↳ Bob @12:19 I still enjoy the live album. "Let's keep Croydon a swinging place for big shows! And a happy Christmas!"
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" Here's yet another one referencing a woman losing her wig. Is this an intentional theme, Mr. DJ?
	12:23pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" "just for a drink..."
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Say Man" by "Bo Diddley" Never gets old.
	12:25pm Jay: Surprised you didn't play Ben Vaughn's "Poor Jimmy Gordon."
	12:26pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:19 One thing to consider is how D&B had something special going on to get musicians like Clapton, Harrison, and studio players like Keltner, Gordon, Bobby Keys and Jim Price on horns, etc to join their touring band. Some of the finest musicians of their era decided to tour with Delaney & Bonnie, so something was going on and it wasn't the money
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 Really doesn't
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 MovieTime, Frank?
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 nope
	12:27pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:23 plus - somebody listening has never heard it before
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:26 Only got one this week. He Walked By Night. Half noir, half fake documentary. Pretty meh despite a good cast; Richard Basehart is quite good as the baddie.
	12:29pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:27 It always feels like the first time for me.
	12:29pm clarke: yes, seen that but not recently!
	12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sugar Sugar" by "Los Mismos" Well damn
	12:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Sugar Sugar" by "Los Mismos" Better than the original.
	12:30pm egould: Sugar Sugar en Español es mucho bueno. Me gusta!
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:29 i have to say that the new Perry Mason is amazing - in such a sordid way.
	12:31pm dreamyandseedy: just reading about Jim Gordon, one article said as a child he made drums out of garbage cans and played them til his parents bought him a kit.
	12:31pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:31 Interesting...
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ dreamyandseedy @12:31 what is new about that? ha ha
	12:32pm johnk77: delaney bramlett was a bartender at the palomino
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:31 it is so period-correct and well-written - highly recommend!
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: yo Clarke! I concur about Perry Mason
	12:33pm Peter Horvath: Wow, I’m late to the party. Happy Saturday to Michael and the #1’ers
	12:33pm egould: Powerpop.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:32 an unexpected pleasure!
	12:34pm clarke: also i saw this pretty sappy brit film from a few years ago, The Tape - but, it is actually pretty cool.
	12:34pm ?: Pearl Harbour dated Mick Jones of The Clash
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Good bass player!
	12:35pm Gaston Musella: Super show today. A Breathe of fresh air with a capital B
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:33 What are they gonna remake next -- "Cannon" starring Zach Galifianakis? Actually, that could work...
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:35 man, as kids we spent a lot of time making fun of Cannon, but i have newfound respect for Jim Conrad - he is nearly EVERY radio program from the 40's!! and great in all of them!
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Apparently bassist Michael Steele is the only Bangle who didn't have some of her parts played by others on All Over the Place.
	12:37pm Biba McLurex: @? Nope. Paul.
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:36 Yeah, it was easy to body-shame the fat guy detective when you're a kid. We're older and wiser now, and fatter.
	12:38pm clarke: squeak fer yerself!! ha ha
	12:39pm johnk77: the pearl harbor album was recorded at the automatt san francisco produced by david kahne engineered by jim gaines
	12:39pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:37 Well I'm 2 outta 3 anyway.
	12:39pm clarke: and, of course, i meant Bill Conrad - or william if you, er, will.
	12:40pm Adammets: could follow up with stoplight roses
	12:40pm Kotzwinkled: The Cactus Blossoms recent Dylan covers are so good.
	12:40pm benji: Fantastic song!
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:39 Hubig - there's a new sherriff in town - Haydel Bakeries now has a product on the pie rack - Hand Pies!!
	12:40pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Tell Me" by "Bangles, The" Such a great track! And such a highlight of the live shows back in the Ate-Tees!
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You Got It (Release It)" by "Pearl Harbor And The... Up here NewHampshuh aways thot PearlHarbor sounded very 'Boston'. (They are not.)
	12:41pm gf2002: "Cannon" was a great show! I've seen almost every episode and William Conrad was terrific in that role. And it also led to learning all the other roles he played in his career, he was great. And the narrator of The Fugitive...
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 i need to re-visit Cannon!
	12:42pm Moammar: This a very mellow physical threat to John.
	12:42pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon Michael! Thanks for playing me up to Saugerties.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ Moammar @12:42 it's no Stagger Lee!
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:42 It used to be on MeTV late night, and I have the complete series DVD box set on my want list. MeTV used to run Mannix followed by Cannon, followed by Barnaby Jones. Great 70's TV, right there.
	12:43pm clarke: uhhh, is that in Zone 5???
	12:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: ↳ Song: "Thank You John" by "Willie Tee" The sweetest song with the most vicious lyrics.
	12:44pm Moammar: "A jive, short-time, monkey-time stud." I plan to use this phrase at some point in my professional life.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 used to make fun of Barnaby Jones, too. what a brat i wuz.
	12:45pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 Also narrator of "Rocky and Bullwinkle".
	12:45pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:42 I'm so glad I mentioned Cannon. Obviously many among us have deep-seated feelings about the show.
	12:45pm ?: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 They still run those three shows, in that order, from 2am-4am!
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @12:45 ...now yer talkin'...
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:45 indeedy
	12:46pm gf2002: One of Conrad's best small roles in a film, especially that opening scene: "The Killers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ9QibWGP80
	12:46pm Bob: Is Dando ok? I always panic a little when I hear him now. Saw the Lemonheads with Juliana a few months back and it's not pretty. Sad really.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:46 agree! but also his radio stuff around that time is stellar - ALL of it!
	12:47pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ clarke @12:32 just thought it was cute. i like learning how people start playing and/or how they get inspired to begin. supposedly a book is being written about him so maybe i’ll learn more
	12:47pm gf2002: ↳ @12:45 That's great! Don't mess with perfection! I can't stay up that late anymore but when I could I watched all of them
	12:47pm Hams: ah, i like that can of creature comforts, michael. made in my hometown. didn't know it was around these parts.
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Bob @12:46 Yeah, he was in very bad shape in Omaha last year. Goddamn shame.
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ dreamyandseedy @12:47 i would say pretty much every drummer started out on wastebaskets and stuff like that.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:48 of a certain era that is
	12:49pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:48 Not me; I started playing drums after years of asking drummers to do something and them not ever doing it.
	12:50pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water" by "Stonewall J... This is one badass side.
	12:50pm clarke: well, you just said it right thar.
	12:50pm drr: ↳ drr @12:49 After I played drums a little bit I stopped asking drummers to do things.
	12:51pm clarke: but you were using someone else's drums.
	12:51pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:47 Thanks Clarke, I have to dive into his radio work too, I haven't heard that part of his career. But his resume is amazing all around. Another favorite was his role as Turk in the noir "The Racket"
	12:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: Toto opening for Journey down the street from me tonight. Sigh...
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:51 bill conrad is practically featured EVERY night on ABN - Antioch Broadcast Network. the overnites are mystery/suspense shows.
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:51 ha ha ha, hold the line!!
	12:54pm johnk77: great work today selecter toto live was often way less than the sum of its parts back in the before times
	12:55pm Bob: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 That guy truly had it all in my opinion. Should have been a superstar like Glen Campbell or something. For his generation. Poster boy for don't do the drugs.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:53 Lol. If Porcaro were still alive, I'd go. Or if Rolie and/or Perry were still with Journey.
	12:56pm listener phat in Lincoln: Or if tickets were, like, $10.
	12:56pm HyperDose: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:55 Porcaro was a beast. Don't garden alone.
	12:56pm clarke: or if it wasn't 200 bucks!!
	12:57pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:51 ha, now that I think about it, the first "drums" I recorded with was a banjo with a paper towel wrapped around the strings, striking it with a racquetball that was impaled on a piece of coat hanger. I believe I was a recent college graduate at the time.
