Listener comments!
	12:02pm Holly in NC: (peering around door...) ok to come in?
	12:02pm βrian: Checking in from the Isthmus.
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: I sure hope so, Holly! I brought a lawn chair and snacks!
	12:03pm βrian: Are you in the kitchen, Holly?
	12:03pm duke: I think that gif may be nightmare fodder
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: And now, a rare number from Uncle Michael & the Rudy Poots!
	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: This Ritz number is crackers!
	12:05pm βrian: Don't let the heat melt that shellac!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Ceriak meeds Deep Dream! Welcome Holly, Brian James, duke and Doug!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: ::patiently awaits star to click::
	12:06pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:07pm βrian: Swing on a star, then.
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Man does Peter Boyle sing the hell outta this tune.
	12:08pm still b/p: As soon as the angle occurred to me a moment ago, I knew somebody musta done it: www.youtube.com...
	12:08pm βrian: "Si'ing o' thu rih!"
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Hi Bob!
	12:08pm Holly in NC: Actually I am in the kitchen, portioning out 5 pounds of protein powder via a far too small scale. I feel like I'm in a horrible knockoff of Breaking Bad.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hey there still b/p.
	12:10pm still b/p: Afternoon! Help me with tunes to pack by?
	12:10pm Mike East: more kazoo!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Hi Mike.
	12:12pm Listener Scott: That gif goes hand in hand with, um, hands.
	12:13pm still b/p: I just had my eye on a purple kazoo seconds ago in a cabinet opened for a quick grab of something else!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Hi there Scott.
	12:14pm Flash Strap: missed the whole beginning and almost the entire end of Doug's show, but makin it in just about on time to hinky dink hello uncle!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Hey there, brother Flash.
	12:16pm Kris Holmes: Ah, just woke up & saw your post, morning coffee procured, tuned in.
	12:16pm Gaylord Fields: And off to Discogs I go — again!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ha, Gaylord!
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: And back here I come — $75 is too rich for me!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: How's the weather in Palm Springs, Kris?
	12:19pm Kris Holmes: still hot, hotter even, i think it got to 108 yesterday, supposed to be up there again today....
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord, deprecating physical media is liberating...especially for the chegue book.
	12:20pm βrian: That gif: Palm springs eternal.
	12:20pm still b/p: Used to see Love American Style a lot as a kid, even though it was mostly that annoying awful brand of frustration/hiding/stammering/lying comedy. It makes me think of Stuart Margolin, who was in a bunch of the show's quickie interstitial blackout bits.
	12:22pm Gaylord Fields: Did I ever tell you guys about the time EFD and I were hanging out poolside at my Wexler home in Palm Springs...
	12:24pm Gaylord Fields: Or when Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las and I were hanging out poolside at my Wexler home in Palm Springs...
	12:25pm Gaylord Fields: Okay, okay, it was a one-week rental, but those things did happen! It was like that Slim Aarons photo come to life!
	12:25pm βrian: Walter White wasn't there?
	12:26pm listener james from westwood: agreed re: Mayuko. Hugely enjoying her programs and hoping she gets a regular gig!
	12:26pm Gaylord Fields: @βrian: The meth cookers are all in Desert Hot Springs.
	12:31pm Kris Holmes: still a lot of itchy & scratchys here in PS, crack is a helluva drug apparently :-(
	12:31pm duke: Was Chain of Fools the b-side?
	12:32pm βrian: The physical tics, you mean, Kris? Oy.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: duke, the release history is varied...the first release is with Chain on the flip.
	12:34pm βrian: A nice papaya salad with chicken has begun whispering my name ...
	12:34pm duke: Chain of Fools is my favorite Aretha tune. It's only tied with about 100 others.
	12:35pm still b/p: Always loved this Ferry version.
	12:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Kris Holmes: It's interesting for me to see more than a few sketchy houses, conspicuous by their forbidding iron gates and snarling pit bulls, sprinkled amid all the rehabbed MCM homes.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: me too, b/p.
	12:36pm Mike East: I had a housemate named Bryan Ferry once, who was a complete d-bag. Kept me away from Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music for years just because of the bad association with the name, and that makes me even more mad at that creep I used to live with.
	12:38pm βrian: Now you know how I feel about Scott Walker, Mike.
	12:39pm Mike East: hehe, exactly, Brian.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: DO YOU HEAR IT?
	12:42pm Kris Holmes: there is definitely a wide social gap in such a small area, alarming.
	12:46pm Kris Holmes: oh wait, what was your question just now??
	12:48pm coelacanth: Howdy Uncle and All
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: What year was the William Powell record released?
	12:50pm Stanley: Hi UM thank God your show is on, after a day I've had.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Hi coelacanth and Stanley!
	12:52pm MarieD: Loving the show, Uncle Michael!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Marie!
	12:57pm Stanley: @mike on holiday on the Scottish Islands the fella who operated the little ferry where we stayed was called Bryan. Oh how we laughed.
	12:57pm coelacanth: whoa nice version!
	12:59pm Mike East: nice, Stanley
	1:02pm still b/p: I think I'd like this Tico Tico to be played at my funeral.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: I need to head on down to the Organ Center at the mall after the show.
	1:03pm still b/p: Wear something dated.
	1:08pm Kris Holmes: ah, i don't know the exact year on the William Powell. it's kind of a grail though.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, anything that poorly documented seems to be a rare one.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I plugged the NEXT set, a set early!
	1:14pm ndbob: great modern lovers song - from my fave 70s lp
	1:14pm Pedro G.: Sorry I missed the first hour. I am in the midst of reassessing the R.E.M. catalog. Some nice surprises and some pretentious word salad from Mr. Stipe.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Hi Pedro.
	1:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Pedro G.: There seems to be a general correlation between song quality and lyrical intelligibility.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Hi all, hectic morning, but figured I'd check in. Enjoying the show (as usual).
	1:18pm Flash Strap: been away from the computer, but wanted to drop back in and say i loved that mills bros you played
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Doctor, welcome. You're wanted on the ward.
	1:19pm doctorjazz: 1+ Mills Brothers!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Flash. I loved it too!
	1:22pm Pedro G.: Hi Gaylord--Haven't really listened to R.E.M. since the Internet came along and now I can look up the lyrics of stuff from 30years ago. I'm not sure that's a good thing.
	1:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Pedro G.: They work better as impressionistic strokes on a canvas than as hard sculptures.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Here's some '80s music that holds up.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Mats!!!!!
	1:26pm coelacanth: Pedro G -my take on r.e.m.: first 4 albums are nearly thoroughly excellent; then i made a cd comp of my faves from albums 5-8; and a comp from albums 9 through 11- which i never listen to!
	1:26pm Kris Holmes: yay replacements!!
	1:27pm coelacanth: UM-yeah it does!
	1:27pm Pedro G.: @Gaylord--I do find that R.E.M. is good for listening at work. Nothing really to distract. Fine musicians. And yes @coelacanth--I listen mostly to the IRS stuff although there are some nice surprises on the stuff that came much later and got panned.
	1:28pm duke: Lou does such a great job on this song.
	1:29pm Kris Holmes: Bobby Bland is THE version of this
	1:30pm doctorjazz: I think Lou Rawls never got no respect, at least as much as he shoud!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: We can love more than one!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Lou was a god among mortal singers.
	1:30pm coelacanth: i figure there must be, but i lost interest after New adventures in hi-fi. maybe i'll give it a chance one day.
	1:31pm Flash Strap: you guys, the only true version is cab calloway's
	1:33pm ndbob: i could never pick a definitive version
	1:33pm Kris Holmes: also, Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor "Insane Asylum" is strong contender
	1:36pm Flash Strap: it's just a great song, wherever it shows up. but cab's is the one i'd ride into battle upon, any day. www.youtube.com...
	1:37pm listener james from westwood: Marty!
	1:37pm Flash Strap: love marty. can't help it, just love him
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Flash. I'm a "Big Iron" man...or "The Chair."
	1:38pm coelacanth: i don't think i have a favorite, but i Love Cab's and i Love Louie Armstrong's.
	1:42pm coelacanth: we made fun of country music when i was little. then my dad got really into it- esp Marty Robbins and 1-2 others. i liked some (like Marty) and hated some,but it was weird 'cause we knew it was the influence of some outside woman in his life.
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: Cab's version, when animated by Fleischer Studios, is literally otherworldly: www.youtube.com...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for that link Gaylord. I'll have it for dessert.
	1:43pm Flash Strap: that's the same one i linked, Gaylord! really, one of the greatest achievements of animation, of any era. All done by one man, too.
	1:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Flash Strap: Sorry I missed that. Got so excited, I didn't read the rest of the thread.
	1:45pm Flash Strap: I really like Marty's "Stampede," Uncle. for some reason that's my top Marty Robbins track
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Buddy Merrill wit the intersection of C&W and exotica.
	1:46pm Flash Strap: I'm just glad you're spreadin the gospel, Gaylord! all hands on deck, i say
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I even find some of Marty's right-wing stuff a little charming.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I would've watched the Cab video but didn't want to sit through the Nexium ad. Hi all :)
	1:47pm Flash Strap: the introduction of hawaiian guitar and the subsequent development of country music as we know it just totally bends my mind in general
	1:48pm chromaphone: The first time I heard Marty Robbins was on a stellar Guitar Player country guitar collection and the Robbins song was the only song I didn't like but now I like his cheesy vocal style years later.
	1:49pm Flash Strap: hate to leave but my gal needs a ride to the mechanic. adios amigos
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Hi chromaphone. Good to see you. Hawaiian players certainly influenced steel playing but I think the steel came to the fore because it cut through the volume of amplified music better than fiddles did. It's too bad Lane's not here to school us today.
	1:49pm coelacanth: ciao Evan
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: see you later, Flash
	1:50pm coelacanth: 'thought it was hot tuna for a second
	1:51pm chromaphone: Hey UM I've been re-listening to my Have A Nice Day cds lately and you are right they sound so good sonically. Wow, I thought this was Leon Russell.
	1:52pm coelacanth: yeah Leon too!
	1:53pm coelacanth: d'oh!
	1:54pm northguineahills: I have a Hank Wilson LP from the same Hank Wilson. I have no idea who he really is as my feed died as you were announcing it.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: It's Leon!
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: Feeling handsy. I'll take Flash's seat.
	1:57pm chromaphone: Here comes the ridiculous guitar solo sound...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: And hi, NGH! Jeff! You're in with the in-crowd.
	1:58pm Jeff Golick: I am now!
	1:58pm chromaphone: Wait this isn't ridiculous I must be thinking of a different MB song
	1:58pm doctorjazz: Best of the Moody Blues (Fountains of Wayne covered something by them, escapes me which tune at the moment...)
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: I had to chuckle when you said that this morning.
	2:01pm melinda: Nice flute
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad you're enjoying, melinda.
	2:02pm Jeff Golick: No doubt -- though I was trying (unsuccessfully?) to allude to the Casbah and the "chanting thing" that Doug had going on.
	2:04pm doctorjazz: ultimateclassicrock.com... This was it...
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Argh...the writer attributes Jet Airliner to Steve Miller. It was a cover!
	2:11pm doctorjazz: But, I like the cover. Impressed you got to the link so fast!
	2:11pm Gaylord Fields: @doctorjazz: FOW did "The Story in Your Eyes."
	2:11pm coelacanth: i must go forage. Thank you Uncle Michael ciao y'all
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending time, coelacanth.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: I'm slow on the draw once again! I should have learned to type.
	2:13pm northguineahills: I've been in Yokohama at night, nothing too special going on (ok, I was a a kid, and wouldn't know).
	2:13pm doctorjazz: @GaylordFields, you're right, that's what happens with a quick Google search. My bad! (they covered 2 Moody Blues tunes...)
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: This Willie record slays me. What was he going for with this in '68...commercially speaking?
	2:17pm still b/p: A blendy thing of Bobby's Mack the Knife and Wayne's Danke Schoen and the theme from It's a Mad Mad Mad World.
	2:18pm Gaylord Fields: @doctorjazz: Google wins this round, but i stand unbowed! Like John Henry vs. the steam hammer. (Wait — John Henry didn't stand unbowed in defeat. He beat that contraption and then dropped dead.)
	2:19pm chromaphone: So this is where the Beatles got this from!
	2:21pm northguineahills: My wife loves both Bill Murrays. I was surprised she had the whole collection of Billy & Ada when I met her over 8 years ago, in ol' Mexico.
	2:22pm chromaphone: Wow Buddy Merrill has a bunch of weird stuff on Spotify. Thanks for turning me onto him Unkie.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: That's so cool, ngh. You're welcome, chromaphone!
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Billy was clearly the biggest recording star, pre-Jolson, judging from how much of his stuff I've uncovered.
	2:25pm still b/p: Was just looking something up a while ago during this show on an old Hinky Dinky playlist, and a Martha Tilton discussion happened to be on there. What a cohinkydink.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I'll say.
	2:29pm chromaphone: The Beatles cover Ada and Billy: www.youtube.com...
	2:29pm Artie Haywire: Hello, Fred!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Excellent. Thanks. Hi Artie!
	2:30pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: The Beatles learned it from Emile Ford and the Checkmates' early-60s UK hit version.
	2:31pm chromaphone: Thanks much GF, I was wondering.
	2:34pm Mike East: Billy Murray seems to show up on the antique phonograph program more than any other artist, from what I can tell.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: He was prolific because he was successful.
	🛒 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if it's gonna turn everything into dogs, why not just call it 'dogdream'. How about a cat version? ...I'm just tired of lurkin'...
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Hi Rev...I agree...it's dogs all the way down...apparently.
	2:43pm still b/p: CDC warned this week -- for real -- not to kiss your chickens.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: There goes my Saturday night.
	2:46pm listener james from westwood: Hah, I'd only every heard Tiny Tim's version of this! Capital!
	2:47pm listener james from westwood: still b/p: That sounds like a saucy, "Laugh-In"-style expression: "How's that kiss your chickens?"
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Top Drawer!
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: I'm really starting to appreciate these 78 rpm era songs. I might have R. Crumb's disease. I'm breaking out in tweed.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: High Rich. These records certainly have appeal for me...obviously.
	🛒 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Rich: - new name for the Antique Music show ('Breaking Out in Tweed')...
	2:50pm efd: Greetings, UM! I've heard most of the show but haven't been by my computer until now.
	2:51pm still b/p: You can have swell parties like Steve Buscemi and his buddies in Ghost World.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Hi Evan. There's life away from a computer?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: An old timey record collector friend told me that that party scene in Ghost World is uncannily accurate
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I'm fond of the Blues Hammer scene.
	2:54pm still b/p: ...except for the attendance of Scarlett and Thora, presumably and sadly.
	2:56pm SeanG: Long live Zwigoff!
	2:56pm chromaphone: God I have seen so many Blues Hammer clones over the years sadly.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Gaylord Fields: This is likely the one Beatles song I've played the most on my own show. Perfect close, UM!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. I'll be back...next week!
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Great show, fun, who are these guys closing it?
	2:59pm duke: Thanks much UM
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Smashing show, UM! Thanks, and a safe weekend, all!
	3:02pm chromaphone: Thanks UM :)
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks...see you next time!
	1:33pm βrian: What happened to the playlist?

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 17, 2015

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:02pm βrian: Checking in from the Isthmus.
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: I sure hope so, Holly! I brought a lawn chair and snacks!
	12:03pm βrian: Are you in the kitchen, Holly?
	12:03pm duke: I think that gif may be nightmare fodder
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: And now, a rare number from Uncle Michael & the Rudy Poots!
	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: This Ritz number is crackers!
	12:05pm βrian: Don't let the heat melt that shellac!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Ceriak meeds Deep Dream! Welcome Holly, Brian James, duke and Doug!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: ::patiently awaits star to click::
	12:06pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:07pm βrian: Swing on a star, then.
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Man does Peter Boyle sing the hell outta this tune.
	12:08pm still b/p: As soon as the angle occurred to me a moment ago, I knew somebody musta done it: www.youtube.com...
	12:08pm βrian: "Si'ing o' thu rih!"
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Hi Bob!
	12:08pm Holly in NC: Actually I am in the kitchen, portioning out 5 pounds of protein powder via a far too small scale. I feel like I'm in a horrible knockoff of Breaking Bad.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hey there still b/p.
	12:10pm still b/p: Afternoon! Help me with tunes to pack by?
	12:10pm Mike East: more kazoo!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Hi Mike.
	12:12pm Listener Scott: That gif goes hand in hand with, um, hands.
	12:13pm still b/p: I just had my eye on a purple kazoo seconds ago in a cabinet opened for a quick grab of something else!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Hi there Scott.
	12:14pm Flash Strap: missed the whole beginning and almost the entire end of Doug's show, but makin it in just about on time to hinky dink hello uncle!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Hey there, brother Flash.
	12:16pm Kris Holmes: Ah, just woke up & saw your post, morning coffee procured, tuned in.
	12:16pm Gaylord Fields: And off to Discogs I go — again!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ha, Gaylord!
	12:18pm Gaylord Fields: And back here I come — $75 is too rich for me!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: How's the weather in Palm Springs, Kris?
	12:19pm Kris Holmes: still hot, hotter even, i think it got to 108 yesterday, supposed to be up there again today....
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord, deprecating physical media is liberating...especially for the chegue book.
	12:20pm βrian: That gif: Palm springs eternal.
	12:20pm still b/p: Used to see Love American Style a lot as a kid, even though it was mostly that annoying awful brand of frustration/hiding/stammering/lying comedy. It makes me think of Stuart Margolin, who was in a bunch of the show's quickie interstitial blackout bits.
	12:22pm Gaylord Fields: Did I ever tell you guys about the time EFD and I were hanging out poolside at my Wexler home in Palm Springs...
	12:24pm Gaylord Fields: Or when Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las and I were hanging out poolside at my Wexler home in Palm Springs...
	12:25pm Gaylord Fields: Okay, okay, it was a one-week rental, but those things did happen! It was like that Slim Aarons photo come to life!
	12:25pm βrian: Walter White wasn't there?
	12:26pm listener james from westwood: agreed re: Mayuko. Hugely enjoying her programs and hoping she gets a regular gig!
	12:26pm Gaylord Fields: @βrian: The meth cookers are all in Desert Hot Springs.
	12:31pm Kris Holmes: still a lot of itchy & scratchys here in PS, crack is a helluva drug apparently :-(
	12:31pm duke: Was Chain of Fools the b-side?
	12:32pm βrian: The physical tics, you mean, Kris? Oy.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: duke, the release history is varied...the first release is with Chain on the flip.
	12:34pm βrian: A nice papaya salad with chicken has begun whispering my name ...
	12:34pm duke: Chain of Fools is my favorite Aretha tune. It's only tied with about 100 others.
	12:35pm still b/p: Always loved this Ferry version.
	12:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Kris Holmes: It's interesting for me to see more than a few sketchy houses, conspicuous by their forbidding iron gates and snarling pit bulls, sprinkled amid all the rehabbed MCM homes.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: me too, b/p.
	12:36pm Mike East: I had a housemate named Bryan Ferry once, who was a complete d-bag. Kept me away from Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music for years just because of the bad association with the name, and that makes me even more mad at that creep I used to live with.
	12:38pm βrian: Now you know how I feel about Scott Walker, Mike.
	12:39pm Mike East: hehe, exactly, Brian.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: DO YOU HEAR IT?
	12:42pm Kris Holmes: there is definitely a wide social gap in such a small area, alarming.
	12:46pm Kris Holmes: oh wait, what was your question just now??
	12:48pm coelacanth: Howdy Uncle and All
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: What year was the William Powell record released?
	12:50pm Stanley: Hi UM thank God your show is on, after a day I've had.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Hi coelacanth and Stanley!
	12:52pm MarieD: Loving the show, Uncle Michael!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Marie!
	12:57pm Stanley: @mike on holiday on the Scottish Islands the fella who operated the little ferry where we stayed was called Bryan. Oh how we laughed.
	12:57pm coelacanth: whoa nice version!
	12:59pm Mike East: nice, Stanley
	1:02pm still b/p: I think I'd like this Tico Tico to be played at my funeral.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: I need to head on down to the Organ Center at the mall after the show.
	1:03pm still b/p: Wear something dated.
	1:08pm Kris Holmes: ah, i don't know the exact year on the William Powell. it's kind of a grail though.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, anything that poorly documented seems to be a rare one.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I plugged the NEXT set, a set early!
	1:14pm ndbob: great modern lovers song - from my fave 70s lp
	1:14pm Pedro G.: Sorry I missed the first hour. I am in the midst of reassessing the R.E.M. catalog. Some nice surprises and some pretentious word salad from Mr. Stipe.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Hi Pedro.
	1:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Pedro G.: There seems to be a general correlation between song quality and lyrical intelligibility.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Hi all, hectic morning, but figured I'd check in. Enjoying the show (as usual).
	1:18pm Flash Strap: been away from the computer, but wanted to drop back in and say i loved that mills bros you played
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Doctor, welcome. You're wanted on the ward.
	1:19pm doctorjazz: 1+ Mills Brothers!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Flash. I loved it too!
	1:22pm Pedro G.: Hi Gaylord--Haven't really listened to R.E.M. since the Internet came along and now I can look up the lyrics of stuff from 30years ago. I'm not sure that's a good thing.
	1:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Pedro G.: They work better as impressionistic strokes on a canvas than as hard sculptures.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Here's some '80s music that holds up.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Mats!!!!!
	1:26pm coelacanth: Pedro G -my take on r.e.m.: first 4 albums are nearly thoroughly excellent; then i made a cd comp of my faves from albums 5-8; and a comp from albums 9 through 11- which i never listen to!
	1:26pm Kris Holmes: yay replacements!!
	1:27pm coelacanth: UM-yeah it does!
	1:27pm Pedro G.: @Gaylord--I do find that R.E.M. is good for listening at work. Nothing really to distract. Fine musicians. And yes @coelacanth--I listen mostly to the IRS stuff although there are some nice surprises on the stuff that came much later and got panned.
	1:28pm duke: Lou does such a great job on this song.
	1:29pm Kris Holmes: Bobby Bland is THE version of this
	1:30pm doctorjazz: I think Lou Rawls never got no respect, at least as much as he shoud!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: We can love more than one!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Lou was a god among mortal singers.
	1:30pm coelacanth: i figure there must be, but i lost interest after New adventures in hi-fi. maybe i'll give it a chance one day.
	1:31pm Flash Strap: you guys, the only true version is cab calloway's
	1:33pm ndbob: i could never pick a definitive version
	1:33pm Kris Holmes: also, Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor "Insane Asylum" is strong contender
	1:36pm Flash Strap: it's just a great song, wherever it shows up. but cab's is the one i'd ride into battle upon, any day. www.youtube.com...
	1:37pm listener james from westwood: Marty!
	1:37pm Flash Strap: love marty. can't help it, just love him
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Flash. I'm a "Big Iron" man...or "The Chair."
	1:38pm coelacanth: i don't think i have a favorite, but i Love Cab's and i Love Louie Armstrong's.
	1:42pm coelacanth: we made fun of country music when i was little. then my dad got really into it- esp Marty Robbins and 1-2 others. i liked some (like Marty) and hated some,but it was weird 'cause we knew it was the influence of some outside woman in his life.
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: Cab's version, when animated by Fleischer Studios, is literally otherworldly: www.youtube.com...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for that link Gaylord. I'll have it for dessert.
	1:43pm Flash Strap: that's the same one i linked, Gaylord! really, one of the greatest achievements of animation, of any era. All done by one man, too.
	1:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Flash Strap: Sorry I missed that. Got so excited, I didn't read the rest of the thread.
	1:45pm Flash Strap: I really like Marty's "Stampede," Uncle. for some reason that's my top Marty Robbins track
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Buddy Merrill wit the intersection of C&W and exotica.
	1:46pm Flash Strap: I'm just glad you're spreadin the gospel, Gaylord! all hands on deck, i say
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I even find some of Marty's right-wing stuff a little charming.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I would've watched the Cab video but didn't want to sit through the Nexium ad. Hi all :)
	1:47pm Flash Strap: the introduction of hawaiian guitar and the subsequent development of country music as we know it just totally bends my mind in general
	1:48pm chromaphone: The first time I heard Marty Robbins was on a stellar Guitar Player country guitar collection and the Robbins song was the only song I didn't like but now I like his cheesy vocal style years later.
	1:49pm Flash Strap: hate to leave but my gal needs a ride to the mechanic. adios amigos
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Hi chromaphone. Good to see you. Hawaiian players certainly influenced steel playing but I think the steel came to the fore because it cut through the volume of amplified music better than fiddles did. It's too bad Lane's not here to school us today.
	1:49pm coelacanth: ciao Evan
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: see you later, Flash
	1:50pm coelacanth: 'thought it was hot tuna for a second
	1:51pm chromaphone: Hey UM I've been re-listening to my Have A Nice Day cds lately and you are right they sound so good sonically. Wow, I thought this was Leon Russell.
	1:52pm coelacanth: yeah Leon too!
	1:53pm coelacanth: d'oh!
	1:54pm northguineahills: I have a Hank Wilson LP from the same Hank Wilson. I have no idea who he really is as my feed died as you were announcing it.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: It's Leon!
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: Feeling handsy. I'll take Flash's seat.
	1:57pm chromaphone: Here comes the ridiculous guitar solo sound...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: And hi, NGH! Jeff! You're in with the in-crowd.
	1:58pm Jeff Golick: I am now!
	1:58pm chromaphone: Wait this isn't ridiculous I must be thinking of a different MB song
	1:58pm doctorjazz: Best of the Moody Blues (Fountains of Wayne covered something by them, escapes me which tune at the moment...)
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: I had to chuckle when you said that this morning.
	2:01pm melinda: Nice flute
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad you're enjoying, melinda.
	2:02pm Jeff Golick: No doubt -- though I was trying (unsuccessfully?) to allude to the Casbah and the "chanting thing" that Doug had going on.
	2:04pm doctorjazz: ultimateclassicrock.com... This was it...
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Argh...the writer attributes Jet Airliner to Steve Miller. It was a cover!
	2:11pm doctorjazz: But, I like the cover. Impressed you got to the link so fast!
	2:11pm Gaylord Fields: @doctorjazz: FOW did "The Story in Your Eyes."
	2:11pm coelacanth: i must go forage. Thank you Uncle Michael ciao y'all
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending time, coelacanth.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: I'm slow on the draw once again! I should have learned to type.
	2:13pm northguineahills: I've been in Yokohama at night, nothing too special going on (ok, I was a a kid, and wouldn't know).
	2:13pm doctorjazz: @GaylordFields, you're right, that's what happens with a quick Google search. My bad! (they covered 2 Moody Blues tunes...)
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: This Willie record slays me. What was he going for with this in '68...commercially speaking?
	2:17pm still b/p: A blendy thing of Bobby's Mack the Knife and Wayne's Danke Schoen and the theme from It's a Mad Mad Mad World.
	2:18pm Gaylord Fields: @doctorjazz: Google wins this round, but i stand unbowed! Like John Henry vs. the steam hammer. (Wait — John Henry didn't stand unbowed in defeat. He beat that contraption and then dropped dead.)
	2:19pm chromaphone: So this is where the Beatles got this from!
	2:21pm northguineahills: My wife loves both Bill Murrays. I was surprised she had the whole collection of Billy & Ada when I met her over 8 years ago, in ol' Mexico.
	2:22pm chromaphone: Wow Buddy Merrill has a bunch of weird stuff on Spotify. Thanks for turning me onto him Unkie.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: That's so cool, ngh. You're welcome, chromaphone!
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Billy was clearly the biggest recording star, pre-Jolson, judging from how much of his stuff I've uncovered.
	2:25pm still b/p: Was just looking something up a while ago during this show on an old Hinky Dinky playlist, and a Martha Tilton discussion happened to be on there. What a cohinkydink.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I'll say.
	2:29pm chromaphone: The Beatles cover Ada and Billy: www.youtube.com...
	2:29pm Artie Haywire: Hello, Fred!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Excellent. Thanks. Hi Artie!
	2:30pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: The Beatles learned it from Emile Ford and the Checkmates' early-60s UK hit version.
	2:31pm chromaphone: Thanks much GF, I was wondering.
	2:34pm Mike East: Billy Murray seems to show up on the antique phonograph program more than any other artist, from what I can tell.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: He was prolific because he was successful.
	🛒 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if it's gonna turn everything into dogs, why not just call it 'dogdream'. How about a cat version? ...I'm just tired of lurkin'...
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Hi Rev...I agree...it's dogs all the way down...apparently.
	2:43pm still b/p: CDC warned this week -- for real -- not to kiss your chickens.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: There goes my Saturday night.
	2:46pm listener james from westwood: Hah, I'd only every heard Tiny Tim's version of this! Capital!
	2:47pm listener james from westwood: still b/p: That sounds like a saucy, "Laugh-In"-style expression: "How's that kiss your chickens?"
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Top Drawer!
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: I'm really starting to appreciate these 78 rpm era songs. I might have R. Crumb's disease. I'm breaking out in tweed.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: High Rich. These records certainly have appeal for me...obviously.
	🛒 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Rich: - new name for the Antique Music show ('Breaking Out in Tweed')...
	2:50pm efd: Greetings, UM! I've heard most of the show but haven't been by my computer until now.
	2:51pm still b/p: You can have swell parties like Steve Buscemi and his buddies in Ghost World.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Hi Evan. There's life away from a computer?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: An old timey record collector friend told me that that party scene in Ghost World is uncannily accurate
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I'm fond of the Blues Hammer scene.
	2:54pm still b/p: ...except for the attendance of Scarlett and Thora, presumably and sadly.
	2:56pm SeanG: Long live Zwigoff!
	2:56pm chromaphone: God I have seen so many Blues Hammer clones over the years sadly.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Gaylord Fields: This is likely the one Beatles song I've played the most on my own show. Perfect close, UM!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. I'll be back...next week!
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Great show, fun, who are these guys closing it?
	2:59pm duke: Thanks much UM
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Smashing show, UM! Thanks, and a safe weekend, all!
	3:02pm chromaphone: Thanks UM :)
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks...see you next time!
	1:33pm βrian: What happened to the playlist?
