	11:18am Cooh John: They did not play this song but Eddie and the HI Risers played for my birthday.
	11:20am Listener Baby: Swamp Pooch
	11:20am drr: I expected "Jerry Williams" to be "Little Jerry Williams" (a.k.a. Swamp Dogg) but I think this must be another guy with the unusual name "Jerry Williams".
	11:23am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:16 I know! I've got a list of CDs about a mile long. I won't be able to afford all of them. But I am SO ready for this!

	11:38am Cooh John: Going to see Elvis tonight! I got him to sing the song Bruce wrote for him but never performed.💿🎶
	11:38am John L: Martin Freeman is also a huge fan of The Jam and is interviewed in the documentary The Jam: About the Young Idea.
	11:38am clarke: Squints is ALL ABOUT disney-hacks!!
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" This reminds me of the McCartney "Band On The Run" stripped down release that removed all of Visconti's string arrangements and whatnot. Interesting to hear but not as good as the released versions.
	11:39am Mr. Jones: <3
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" Love the hit. Love this more.
	11:40am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" Although any time I get to hear Reggie Young play guitar, it's a good day
	11:40am Dennis Diken: some elements sound out of sync on this mix of “Suspicious Minds”
	11:40am JG: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" I agree w your assent of this Michael, it sounds fresh
	11:41am clarke: michael shelley you are the John Milner of the airwaves!!!
	11:41am Squints: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" G. G. Y!
	11:41am clarke: and we are the Toads!!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" i believe this to be Eddie Bo on drums.
	11:42am gf2002: I can't think of visiting Graceland without thinking about Spinal Tap..."well since my baby left meee...meee...do it with the 'armony". "Not too much! Not too much f'ing perspective." Classic scene.
	11:43am pmcWhenever: edit out the questions and just have the stories stream ?
	11:44am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" A #0 hit!
	11:44am gf2002: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:40 Me too, I thought some of Reggie's guitar part fell in and out of time during the track, maybe it always did but was buried in the original release? Or modern digital tinkering?
	11:44am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:42 but, if leo is on it, it might just be Zigaboo??
	11:47am JG: Anybody catch the title of the cop show Michael mentioned ? I missed it
	11:47am Listener John from NJ: I hope people who want to go to Graceland know how much it costs, or else they might be very disappointed. $80 for the cheapest ticket is a disgrace. I bet a lot of Elvis fans couldn't afford it. (I couldn't.)
	11:47am clarke: schroeder was a shredder!
	11:47am P-90!: the Schroeder-Berkeley evolution
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 disgraceland!!
	11:48am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 Agree - it's not what Elvis would have wanted
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 i liked it better when jack oblivion and i jumped over the back fence on xmas day.
	11:50am gf2002: Do they have a gift shop at Graceland, and do they sell knockoff TCB necklaces for a few hundred bucks?
	11:50am clarke: HEY LADY!!!!!!
	11:50am rx "rexy" scabin: My mother was an Avon Lady.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 there are licensed gift shops across the street from the house
	11:51am rx "rexy" scabin: However, she was not a way out chick.
	11:51am Oxnard: My name being Yvonne, I got teased in school about Avon calling.
	11:52am gf2002: Our neighbor sold Avon. She had her son deliver a bag of Avon down the street one day, and we saw him with the bag and started heckling him, calling him the Avon Lady. He got very upset and we got a stern lecture as a result and had to apologize...dumb kids.
	11:53am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:52 Being a kid is hard. Naturally, you HAD TO call him "Avon Lady," it was wrong... but you had to...
	11:54am common: ↳ Song: "Blue Moon" by "Elvis Presley" creepiest elvis song. beautiful
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Blue Moon" by "Elvis Presley" LOVE this version. One that gets overlooked somehow from the Sun material, except for all the singers like Chris Isaak and filmmakers like David Lynch who ran to the finish line with the vibe Elvis and the guys created on this recording.
	11:57am Daybreak!: Unfortunately Michael you weren't there in the time of Elvis. If you had been, You could've helped to make America great the first time. I think that's how that would work.
	11:57am Dennis Diken: the falsetto parts on EP’s “Blue Moon” are him channeling Slim Whitman, methinks?
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:57 he was a big slim fan! had many of his singles.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:57 i wonder if everyone knows that Johnny Bernaro plays drums on the first two elvis sun sessions (that had drums)
	12:01pm drr: ↳ common @11:54 I think "I Was The One" might be the creepiest Elvis song. "Blue Moon" probably the spookiest.
	12:01pm common: ↳ drr @12:01 i think you are correct
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" Walk like Dick Nixon.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" so this is probably all Dixon on instruments?? wild
	12:03pm Biba McLurex: This is almost an Adam Ant/Bow Wow Wow sound. Or was that obvious?
	12:04pm Andres: More like Wow Wow Wow! Love it!
	12:04pm drr: ↳ common @12:01 common, that is a nifty lookin' wagon in your avatar.
	12:05pm clarke: comp'd vocals!
	12:05pm Listener John from NJ: ↳ clarke @11:49 Are you Bruce Springsteen behind the pseudonym Clarke? He's told a story about jumping the fence at Graceland late at night . . .
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @12:05 well, if you climb on top of the dumpsters.... (i'm sure they have fixed this weakness)
	12:06pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" I never heard that demo before! Very cool. And the trading off on lead vocals is what made the Bangles' version a classic, when Susanna Hoffs comes in at the end with her line, it takes the song to another level. Genius production decision, right there. Just like Prince with 1999 and the triple lead vocals.
	12:07pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She Belongs To Me" by "Jimmy Gilmer And The Fireb... Good songwriter
	12:07pm clarke: dylan, u mean?
	12:08pm clarke: something is happening and you don't know what it is..
	12:08pm gf2002: Brian Wilson did the same thing on Sloop John B, three separate lead vocalists on different verses, Nice when a band has three distinct leads and can pull it off.
	12:08pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" Before The Bangles, the songwriter originally pitched this song to Toni Basil, but she passed on it.
	12:08pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:08 story of my life
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:08 the story of my life has become: something is happening and I DONT WANT TO KNOW what it is!
	12:11pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:09 All it takes is some won'tpower. You can do it!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:11 blissfully ignorant!
	12:12pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ clarke @12:08 Sooner or later, one of us must know.
	12:12pm Michael Shelley: The $22 version: flattownmusic.com...
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Tip On In" by "Slim Harpo" gravesite in Port Allen, LA - just across the bridge from baton rouge
	12:14pm egould: Floyd is sitting on a goldmine!
	12:15pm Ochre Ogre: "I don't have change for a grasshopper, and that's two crickets" Slim Harpo
	12:15pm Daybreak!: Clark at 11:49! The "Tip on in" Was that the code phrase you and Jack Oblivion used for your secret entrance to Graceland?
	12:15pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm going to Memphis in November and I'm not 3to Graceland.
	12:16pm Daybreak!: Misplaced your e Clarke, Just found it!
	12:16pm listener phat in lincoln: Going to

	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:15 ha ha. dumpster climbing is not a tip on in kinda thing.
	12:18pm Frank Verplanck: Betty Hutton was hilarious. Lots of clips on YouTube.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Frank Verplanck @12:18 she was amazing!
	12:19pm JG: ↳ Song: "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" by "Betty Hutton" Is that from Annie get your gun?
	12:19pm clarke: before i forget (again): TCM is showing ALL the Bowery Boys movies on this thursday!!
	12:20pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Make The Music Go Bang" by "X" Anyone seen this final X tour?
	12:20pm JG: ↳ clarke @12:19 Will probably watch the haunted house one. Or are there multiple haunted house ones?
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:20 Candy-O said it was great!
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Make The Music Go Bang" by "X" How the hell did they do this?
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: DJ Bonebreak, man.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ JG @12:20 there might be more than one. i am going to try to watch a bunch!
	12:21pm Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:20 Not me, but my kid in Boston. Saw them a while back in a tiny club. Blistering

	12:24pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @12:22 I think that's a show I'll try to make. I don;t have a ticket yet.
	12:24pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Mystery Train" by "Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs" Sam and friends, underrated to say the least.
	12:24pm Frank Verplanck: I remember many of his stock troupe, especially Demarest.
	12:25pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Squints @12:22 I'm out on the South Fork. What town are you in?
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:24 i saw Sam at one of the Ponderosa Stomps, and was telling him how much he meant to me. he says "you ougtta hear what i'm doin' now!" - uhhh, no i shouldn't have!
	12:26pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:25 ouch!
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:25 I'm headed down from Plymouth, MA. My buddy lives in Sayville.
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:26 like, with a drum machine?!?!?
	12:27pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Listener Baby @12:24 Yeah, got "Wooly Bully" on my phone of tunes.
	12:28pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:27 ugh You were right. Ignorance is bliss.
	12:28pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @12:25 We all get a few minutes of greatness, Clarke. If we are lucky.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:28 BUT... in sam's live band: BJ Hunnicutt!! he let it ALL hang out!!
	12:29pm egould: Frat house band.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:28 it is a syndrome when every artist loses what made him great by trying to "advance"
	12:30pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Listener Baby @12:28 At least 15 minutes.
	12:31pm Listener Baby: Or in John Lennon’s case, whatever the opposite of that is.
	12:31pm clarke: The Home Of Lou Costello - third base.
	12:31pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go get vegetables for today's and tomorrow's dinners.

	11:20am Listener Baby: Swamp Pooch

	11:38am clarke: Squints is ALL ABOUT disney-hacks!!
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" This reminds me of the McCartney "Band On The Run" stripped down release that removed all of Visconti's string arrangements and whatnot. Interesting to hear but not as good as the released versions.
	11:39am Mr. Jones: <3
	11:39am Squints: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" Love the hit. Love this more.
	11:40am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" Although any time I get to hear Reggie Young play guitar, it's a good day
	11:40am Dennis Diken: some elements sound out of sync on this mix of “Suspicious Minds”
	11:40am JG: ↳ Song: "Suspicious Minds (no overdubs)" by "Elvis Presley" I agree w your assent of this Michael, it sounds fresh
	11:41am clarke: michael shelley you are the John Milner of the airwaves!!!
	11:41am Squints: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" G. G. Y!
	11:41am clarke: and we are the Toads!!
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" i believe this to be Eddie Bo on drums.
	11:42am gf2002: I can't think of visiting Graceland without thinking about Spinal Tap..."well since my baby left meee...meee...do it with the 'armony". "Not too much! Not too much f'ing perspective." Classic scene.
	11:43am pmcWhenever: edit out the questions and just have the stories stream ?
	11:44am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "A Lover Was Born" by "Lee Dorsey" A #0 hit!
	11:44am gf2002: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:40 Me too, I thought some of Reggie's guitar part fell in and out of time during the track, maybe it always did but was buried in the original release? Or modern digital tinkering?
	11:44am clarke: ↳ clarke @11:42 but, if leo is on it, it might just be Zigaboo??
	11:47am JG: Anybody catch the title of the cop show Michael mentioned ? I missed it
	11:47am Listener John from NJ: I hope people who want to go to Graceland know how much it costs, or else they might be very disappointed. $80 for the cheapest ticket is a disgrace. I bet a lot of Elvis fans couldn't afford it. (I couldn't.)
	11:47am clarke: schroeder was a shredder!
	11:47am P-90!: the Schroeder-Berkeley evolution
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 disgraceland!!
	11:48am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 Agree - it's not what Elvis would have wanted
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:47 i liked it better when jack oblivion and i jumped over the back fence on xmas day.
	11:50am gf2002: Do they have a gift shop at Graceland, and do they sell knockoff TCB necklaces for a few hundred bucks?
	11:50am clarke: HEY LADY!!!!!!
	11:50am rx "rexy" scabin: My mother was an Avon Lady.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:50 there are licensed gift shops across the street from the house
	11:51am rx "rexy" scabin: However, she was not a way out chick.
	11:51am Oxnard: My name being Yvonne, I got teased in school about Avon calling.
	11:52am gf2002: Our neighbor sold Avon. She had her son deliver a bag of Avon down the street one day, and we saw him with the bag and started heckling him, calling him the Avon Lady. He got very upset and we got a stern lecture as a result and had to apologize...dumb kids.
	11:53am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:52 Being a kid is hard. Naturally, you HAD TO call him "Avon Lady," it was wrong... but you had to...
	11:54am common: ↳ Song: "Blue Moon" by "Elvis Presley" creepiest elvis song. beautiful
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Blue Moon" by "Elvis Presley" LOVE this version. One that gets overlooked somehow from the Sun material, except for all the singers like Chris Isaak and filmmakers like David Lynch who ran to the finish line with the vibe Elvis and the guys created on this recording.
	11:57am Daybreak!: Unfortunately Michael you weren't there in the time of Elvis. If you had been, You could've helped to make America great the first time. I think that's how that would work.
	11:57am Dennis Diken: the falsetto parts on EP’s “Blue Moon” are him channeling Slim Whitman, methinks?
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:57 he was a big slim fan! had many of his singles.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Dennis Diken @11:57 i wonder if everyone knows that Johnny Bernaro plays drums on the first two elvis sun sessions (that had drums)
	12:01pm drr: ↳ common @11:54 I think "I Was The One" might be the creepiest Elvis song. "Blue Moon" probably the spookiest.
	12:01pm common: ↳ drr @12:01 i think you are correct
	12:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" Walk like Dick Nixon.
	12:03pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" so this is probably all Dixon on instruments?? wild
	12:03pm Biba McLurex: This is almost an Adam Ant/Bow Wow Wow sound. Or was that obvious?
	12:04pm Andres: More like Wow Wow Wow! Love it!
	12:04pm drr: ↳ common @12:01 common, that is a nifty lookin' wagon in your avatar.
	12:05pm clarke: comp'd vocals!
	12:05pm Listener John from NJ: ↳ clarke @11:49 Are you Bruce Springsteen behind the pseudonym Clarke? He's told a story about jumping the fence at Graceland late at night . . .
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Listener John from NJ @12:05 well, if you climb on top of the dumpsters.... (i'm sure they have fixed this weakness)
	12:06pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" I never heard that demo before! Very cool. And the trading off on lead vocals is what made the Bangles' version a classic, when Susanna Hoffs comes in at the end with her line, it takes the song to another level. Genius production decision, right there. Just like Prince with 1999 and the triple lead vocals.
	12:07pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "She Belongs To Me" by "Jimmy Gilmer And The Fireb... Good songwriter
	12:07pm clarke: dylan, u mean?
	12:08pm clarke: something is happening and you don't know what it is..
	12:08pm gf2002: Brian Wilson did the same thing on Sloop John B, three separate lead vocalists on different verses, Nice when a band has three distinct leads and can pull it off.
	12:08pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian (demo)" by "Marti Jones" Before The Bangles, the songwriter originally pitched this song to Toni Basil, but she passed on it.
	12:08pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:08 story of my life
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:08 the story of my life has become: something is happening and I DONT WANT TO KNOW what it is!
	12:11pm Mr. Jones: ↳ clarke @12:09 All it takes is some won'tpower. You can do it!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:11 blissfully ignorant!
	12:12pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ clarke @12:08 Sooner or later, one of us must know.
	12:12pm Michael Shelley: The $22 version: flattownmusic.com...
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Tip On In" by "Slim Harpo" gravesite in Port Allen, LA - just across the bridge from baton rouge
	12:14pm egould: Floyd is sitting on a goldmine!
	12:15pm Ochre Ogre: "I don't have change for a grasshopper, and that's two crickets" Slim Harpo
	12:15pm Daybreak!: Clark at 11:49! The "Tip on in" Was that the code phrase you and Jack Oblivion used for your secret entrance to Graceland?
	12:15pm listener phat in lincoln: I'm going to Memphis in November and I'm not 3to Graceland.
	12:16pm Daybreak!: Misplaced your e Clarke, Just found it!
	12:16pm listener phat in lincoln: Going to
	12:16pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" by "Betty Hutton" So many tubes
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Daybreak! @12:15 ha ha. dumpster climbing is not a tip on in kinda thing.
	12:18pm Frank Verplanck: Betty Hutton was hilarious. Lots of clips on YouTube.
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Frank Verplanck @12:18 she was amazing!
	12:19pm JG: ↳ Song: "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" by "Betty Hutton" Is that from Annie get your gun?
	12:19pm clarke: before i forget (again): TCM is showing ALL the Bowery Boys movies on this thursday!!
	12:20pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Make The Music Go Bang" by "X" Anyone seen this final X tour?
	12:20pm JG: ↳ clarke @12:19 Will probably watch the haunted house one. Or are there multiple haunted house ones?
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:20 Candy-O said it was great!
	12:21pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Make The Music Go Bang" by "X" How the hell did they do this?
