Thanks Alf! See you in thirty.

Heya Charlie and everyone!

Charles, I presume...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am charlie:

Hi Bob! Hello Michael. Just a-twiddlin' my thumbs for a few more minutes here...
  11:59am Katya:

Hurray! And Groundhog Day, too!
  12:01pm Dan in Seattle:

Happy Charlie Day!

Hi Katya! Yes, hi to Punxatawny Phil also.
  12:04pm Ned Ryerson:

Don't tell me you don't remember me!
  12:04pm Katya:

Bob and Ray, such masters
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:05pm charlie:

That first step is a doozy!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm charlie:

Love the Bob and the Ray...
  12:08pm ndbob:

ah - the guy who did the original "Cara Mia"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm charlie:

He did Cara Mia?!!! Learn something new every day...
  12:10pm Katya:

Ha! The doozy line is part of the popular culture at Oddio Headquarters. Really, ndbob? Cool. WFMU and Charlie fans are so knowledgeable about this stuff!
  12:10pm Gary Mitchellrock and ro:

sounds like an outtake from Hot Rats
  12:11pm ndbob:

Heya Gary!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:13pm charlie:

Hey Gary! Yes, Frank covers Billy Joel?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:17pm charlie:

A late hello to Dan and Don!
I saw my shadow this morning...
  12:21pm ndbob:

you introduced me to the wonderful world of school band records Charlie
  12:22pm Gary Mitchell:

"they call us irresponsible" - imagine that
  12:25pm glenn:

can any of you super bright, totally awesome, computer nerdy types answer a question, before i go to apple - can i use macbook start up discs to reinstall o.s. on a mac desktop?
  12:29pm ndbob:

sent you the David Whitfield "Cara Mia" Charlie
  12:30pm Gary Mitchell:

love the dissonance in this stampfel opus
  12:31pm Carmichael:

Pete Stampfel was considered to be the laziest musician in the world, according to many critics.

Hi Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:35pm charlie:

Thanks, Bob!
Hi Carmichael.
Got no idea about Mac stuff, Glenn...

Sagittarius cover here

PLU makes the world a better place.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm charlie:

It's all in the editing. We can all make the world a better place with editing!
  12:43pm glenn:

oh, if only. press a button - bye bye newt. press another button - bye bye rupert murdoch. and so on.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm charlie:

Well, you can edit how you feel about 'em. Or whether you pay attention to them at all...
  12:46pm Carmichael:

This guy's voice is clasically horrible. I love it. It reminds me of a song I used to like in high school called As Far as the Eye Can See, by a band called Nutz. It's much worse than this, though.
  12:50pm Katya:

Man, Charlie, you are king of the thematic.
  12:52pm Carmichael:

Man, Buffy's voice sure has changed. Does she smoke?
  12:56pm Carmichael:

Read my posts above with the understanding that I was listening to Diane's feed. Man, do I feel dumb as hell.
  12:56pm ndbob:

This is still the middle of nowhere - sort of - though lots of freight trains run through here.
  12:57pm Tennessee Ernie Ford:

I had to check the list because I thought this might be me (TEF) -- Lorne Greene? He helped build the RRs, really?
  1:02pm Doug S.:

I adore Ruthann and this Japanese version Oklahoma is fantastic!
  1:04pm Gary Mitchell:

sounds like Mary Ford on ecstasy
  1:05pm kat330:

Everyone impersonating Fords.
  1:06pm kat330:

New to this list, and I have a question, Charlie: How did you manage the timestamp at the top of today's list? :)
  1:07pm glenn:

come to toronto. the fords are the problem.
  1:07pm Gary Mitchell:

I haven't been to toronto since Sam's Records closed
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm charlie:

Happens all the time, Carmichael...
Hi Doug!
and Hi Kat330: answer: I posted it yesterday afternoon!
  1:09pm Ned Ryerson:

Love this !
  1:10pm kat330:

Neat trick, that! Glad I figured out how to get the alternative feed Seems like a nice place to sit a spell.
  1:12pm ndbob:

The Roady Music collection is terrific.
  1:13pm kat330:

Frankie and Johnny!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm charlie:

Yes indeed Bob.
Can you ID that sample, Kat? Who it is?
  1:14pm trsh:

Those email reminders sure help when thoughts are on the other side of otherwise.
  1:14pm Gary Mitchell:

yes kat and then some
  1:15pm kat330:

I play (and used to perform) the Dave Van Ronk's version of F&J.
  1:15pm kat330:

Oh, golly, my very first time here and you spring a pop quiz?!
  1:17pm kat330:

No, I'm sorry I cannot. Do I have to stand in the corner now or, worse, switch to Kamikaze?
  1:17pm Carmichael:

Taj Mahal does a pretty good version of F&J.
  1:19pm kat330:

TM does great covers of many tunes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20pm charlie:

No, Kat, no quizzes; I've just always wondered what version that was.
  1:22pm ndbob:

The Psychedelic Aliens collection is interesting - to say the lest.
  1:22pm kat330:

It didn't sound familiar to me at all. Maybe I'll listen again on archive.
  1:29pm glenn:

oh burton. burton, burton, burton.
  1:30pm kat330:

@glenn: Toronto? Somehow I thought you were up north, Thunder Bay or something? [Catching up as I multitask]
  1:31pm kat330:

Zappa's version with this title's a classic.
  1:37pm kat330:

My guess is he's spelling it "triggernometry."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:39pm charlie:

re: The Guess Who: I saw them touring in support of that album, at the Bottom Line in NYC! Not the best part of their career, but I was a big fan...
  1:39pm Carmichael:

Our halftime entertainment. I can't wait.
  1:42pm glenn:

no. all my relatives from my mom's side are from northern ontario. originally from chicago though. the family lore is that my great great great something or others owned the land o'hare airport is built on, but i can't confirm that.
  1:45pm kat330:

Back after an audio "halftime" break. Hernando's Hideaway -- did a dance class routine to this as a tot (yes, w/ castanets!).
  1:45pm Gary Mitchell:

thanks mickey.. I just wrecked my break board
  1:47pm kat330:

@glenn: Then maybe they owned the parcel of Park Ridge where I lived for a bit.
  1:51pm Carmichael:

I saw Guess Who in 1973 at a horse track, at the top of a bill that included Elvin Bishop, Montrose, and regional favorite Redwing. Wolfman Jack was even there.
  1:52pm Gary Mitchell:

clap for the wolfman

Kochalain - Summer boarding house with cooking privileges (Lit., cook by yourself)
  1:53pm Carmichael:

Exactly, Gary.
  1:53pm Vicki:

hi Charlie :)
  1:54pm glenn:

they came to canada in 1835 or so, so i don't know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54pm charlie:

Hello there, Vicki :)
  1:56pm kat330:

Back to F&J: I see two "Charlie"s mentioned with versions (ring a bell for that sample?), but no Dave Van Ronk. His was actually Frankie & Albert, but Wiki mentions that as an alternate title.
  1:58pm kat330:

@Charlie: Then I lived in a Kochalain in the Adirondacks where I worked in Lake George one summer.
  1:59pm Gary Mitchell:

osmium anybody?
  1:59pm Michael:

Thanks for the cool sounds charlie!
  2:00pm kat330:

Are we around the campfire now?
  2:00pm Carmichael:

Sacramento's own Lynn Anderson.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01pm charlie:

Yes, Little ole country boys and girls, this song is the last round-up of today's show -- thanks for joining me here today. See you next week... Happy trails to you!
  2:02pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
  2:02pm kat330:

Glad I found this spot! Thanks, Charlie!
