	11:26am Connie T. Empress: AND a big chimp chuckle to Dave The Spazz who brought his own spin to the show last week: awesomeness abounds on FMU! And #1 hits keep on coming: thanks!

	12:01pm Bob: Almost the best Mats song ever.
	12:03pm Michael: This is the best of his "not dumb" songs
	12:18pm Connie T. Empress: I never miss a #1 hits Show: even in the Archives: i listen and always catch something: like this Joe Pernice tune from the Super Hits of the 70's premium!! And thanks listener Don Juan J: you meet the nicest people at the #1 Hits Club!
	12:22pm drr: What was the Lovin' Spoonful song MS played so many versions of?
	12:23pm drr: it rhymed "toddled" and "dawdled"...
	12:23pm Michael: Darlin' Be Home Soon
	12:27pm drr: thanks! good song. I discovered I like the Lovin' Spoonful more than I thought I would based on their radio hits.
	12:29pm Robert: I never listened carefully to the lyrics of "Gentle On My Mind" before this, thanks. Now I understand it...it's not about the 2nd person that it's about, it's really about the 1st person.
	12:32pm Robert: That is, "you" are gentle on my mind not primarily because of anything particularly about "you", but because of the way "I" treated "you".
	12:35pm Connie T. Empress: Ready set DIG: that Jackpot 1800 was a true #1 in that MS has the only copy stateside!
	12:44pm Dano: Love this show - every week. The playlist reminds me of every goofy great thing I heard on the radio as a kid.
	12:49pm Dano: Dude! your comp. is No. 14 on the chart! (why not No. 1??)
	1:23pm Listener Tom: Great show Michael - if Ama Tai Tai were from Rhodesia, maybe check out SWP records - they're an archival label out of the Netherlands that specializes in pop and trad music from Southern and East Africa. The guy who runs it, Michael Baird, is a Zimbabwean expat and has forgotten more about that music than most folks will ever know: http://www.swp-records.com/
