Listener comments!
	12:01pm still b/p: Tribbles...now Trolls on a train....what will complete the troika?
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!

	12:03pm Lizardner Dave: Excellent.
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: @Stanley, looks like Lane is a fan of i'm Sorry i Haven't a Clue. Impressed.
	12:04pm Parq: Okay, so the trolls are being taken to Funkytown. Right, got it.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Good morning still b/p, Bob, duke, Stanley, Doug, Dave, Brian and parq!
	12:05pm Ken B: This song will always be about Hal teaching Malcolm to roller skate.
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: I recall that when this tune first came out, someone described it as "Kraftwerk meets Chaka Khan"
	🛒 12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Trolly Train Finky Hunky TimeTown's Dunky Kahnwerk Playhouse.
	12:07pm Lane Gray: Yes I am. Brian. In fact iI have alarms set so I don't miss the ISIHAC on the ROK British Comedy channel.

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Ken! Alex! Rev! Lane!
	12:08pm Stanley: One song to the tune of another - respect Lane
	12:08pm Alex In Illinois: If I were listening to this show at home, I would be dancing. This is one energetic start.
	12:08pm P-90: Hinky-Dinky all the Diggity Doo-Dah Day!
	12:10pm Stanley: ....and sitting on my right hand, Samantha (applause)
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: All aboard the Baby Jane trane.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:12pm still b/p: Somehow seems appropriate in Hinky Dinky Time to note yesterday's death of the designer of Batmobile and Munster Coach.
	12:12pm Lane Gray: Stanley, Brian, last night (9 central) was exceptional. Run Rabbit Run to I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. Another Brick In the Wall to Do Re Mi My Old Man's a Dustman to Scarborough Fair Tell you What I Want (what I really really want) to Modern Major General
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: Humphrey was the man.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Song coming up that amazingly, Matt played on his show yesterday...
	🛒 12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ROK BritCom Channel ! ! Thx guys. I knew about this one: www.abacus.fm...
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I wish I had a suitable George Barris tribute planned.
	12:13pm still b/p: ..ahem...Munster Koach with a K.
	12:14pm Mike Sin: Well all right! I'm along for the ride in real time. Sounds cool... Good to hear a "post-Wilko" Dr. Feelgood track.
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Lane ever tried BBC Radio 4 Extra?
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Mike! Yes! I have the 12"
	12:16pm Lane Gray: Rabbit, Abacus doesn't run on a schedule, and lacks ISIHAC. ROK has a schedule here www.rokradio.com...
	12:16pm hyde: ok, i've got a brief window to enjoy some live Hinky Dinky. Let's make it count! (not that you ever don't)
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abacus has a Goon channel as well: www.abacus.fm
	12:16pm Stanley: Brian - is BBC Radio available outside of the UK?
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: This singer could sub for Ian Anderson anytime...
	12:17pm Lane Gray: Brian, I regularly listen to both Radio 4 and 4Extra
	12:17pm Stevel: Tres groovy.
	12:17pm Stanley: A: yes
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	12:17pm Lane Gray: Stanley, Tunein carries all the BBC Radio channels
	12:18pm Lane Gray: As well as all the wfmu streams
	12:18pm Stevel: UM! Its Friday (and I don't work over the weekend!)
	🛒 12:19pm Brian in UK: You can go directly to the BBC site. Radio is available not TV.
	12:19pm Mike Sin: re: This version of "Les Cactus" Was this cut earlier/sometime later? It sounds totally different from the version I'm familiar with. Different key and vocal delivery.
	12:20pm Stanley: Right. Radio is better anyway.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I don't know, Mike. Let me know when you find out.
	🛒 12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I get BBC podcasts 'Friday Night Comedy' - which is UK topical News Comedy like NPR's 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' (basically) - & 'Newsjack' ...
	12:21pm hyde: BBC also has downloadable podcasts for a lot of its shows at its website, I often consume 5 Live Football, the Food Programme and Kitchen Cabinet that way.
	🛒 12:22pm Brian in UK: Radio is a grown up. TV is like a little child, has to be watched all the time.
	12:25pm johnk77: r.i.p. george barris check out his voxmobile http://www.barris.com/carsgallery/noveltyproduct/voxmobile.php
	12:26pm Lane Gray: Speaking of the podcasts, check out the recent Desert Island Discs, with Keith Richards. Good choices, good interview.
	12:29pm 67tele: @johnk77: they used to have that voxmobile at Gauver Baroque music store on colfax Ave. here in Denver back in the 80's if I recall...its even cooler in 'person'
	12:29pm Marie: Happy Chelsea morning!
	12:29pm Stanley: RRN63 - Friday night comedy is about to start in an hour, over here. But available on 'listen later' so I can stick with Hinky Dinky Time
	12:31pm Parq: Great Tropicalia (if Americanized) version of a great Joni song. That verse about the food (ending in "talk in present tenses") just kills me.
	12:31pm Dean: For the first few measures of the Adriano Celentano I thought we were in for Los Lobos.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: John! Tele! Marie! Dean!
	12:31pm redkayak: Howdy all - is there still room on the Troll Train?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: All aboard Red!
	12:32pm Dean: At a public library job many years ago I was on desk when David Hidalgo dropped in with his kids.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm a fan. I'd have talked to him and stuff.
	12:35pm Marie: Hey Parq, I love that line too. Los Lobos is great live, anyone else ever seen them? Hi Uncle Michael :>)
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Cesar is a badass...I'da been scared to talk to him.
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Confess I cannot stand 'Just a Minute'.
	🛒 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I prefer listening w/ the much-reviled iTunes - because I can do & see everything in one place there. Every stream site prefers you use their own player. So - it's a bit of a cat & mouse game getting the Stream Addresses...there are programs that tell you I should find out about...BBC funding is kinda Socialist - so getting stuff in the U.S. is sometimes tricky or just denied (YouTubes as well). I've found the BBC Radio streams change addresses now & then!...
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I've seen them a number of times...including one terrible show and one of my all time top five shows.
	12:37pm Dean: Fan here, too, but I maintained professional decorum. I saw them, though, precisely once, when they opened for PIL at Olympic Auditorium.
	12:38pm Marie: @ Uncle Michael--yeah, it's like if you can be great, you can be really bad too, whereas mediocrity doesn't seem to vary that much...
	12:38pm Jeff g.: Taking you into the shower, @UM. Mind the decks!
	🛒 12:38pm Brian in UK: @Dean Remember seeing them live and after ever song DH would hitch his jeans up. Don't know why but I thought that was really cool and down to earth.
	12:39pm Marie: I'm going to see PIL in a couple of weeks, in Chicago--really looking forward to it!
	12:39pm efd: I'm not really here, but if I were I'd pop in to say I like this Hot Dogs track.
	🛒 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is 'La Pistola y El Corazón' (1988) regarded as a Classic? Because that is a fine fine album. & the way Los Lobos does both RawkBand & MexicanTrad impresses the crap outta me...
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: When I saw them rock Liberty Hall in Lawrence, KS they had 600 people in the palm of their collective hand. Such an awesome show.
	12:40pm Dean: UM has already sneezed once. Make sure you dry him off, @Jeff g. The Olympic Auditorium gig was an early one. IIRC, and it's entirely possible that IDRC, at least one of them wore a sombrero.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Was that Evan Funk Davies??? Nah.
	12:40pm Lane Gray: Is there a connection between Hot Dogs and Status Quo?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Nope...but I hear it too.
	12:42pm Dean: I regard La Pistola as a classic, fwiw. I think I have three copies, two LPs, one CD.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Yep...a classic.
	12:47pm hyde: re: Los Lobos. I made a horrible call in college in the early 80's when on the night of a blizzard, Los Lobos played at The Rusty Nail in Sunderland. I opted not to go, but my roomate did. Turned out that almost no one showed up, only about 15 paid admissions but Los Lobos were there and played anyway and did two sets and were apparently amazin. D'oh.
	12:47pm Marie: I really liked that version of "Can You Get to That". Mikey, you make some great choices, to me.
	12:49pm Dean: Rusty Nail? Don't know the venue. Love the drink.
	12:50pm Parq: Hyde, I bet most folks have stories like that. I still remember on an early date with the woman I eventually married, we were at a local club for a three-band bill. My girl was not a late night person, and it was a Tuesday, so at her insistence despite my own reluctance, I agreed to leave after the second band. The third and top-billed band was a then-new ensemble called the Residents.
	12:52pm hyde: @Dean it was a great place in the town next to UMass. Closed at the end of the 80's/early 90's sometime. I saw great people there--Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, King Sunny Ade, X, James Brown. Many memories.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Marie.
	12:54pm hyde: @Parq yeah, no doubt. I also passed on seeing Spinal Tap in the 80's on the coast to coast tour where they played one show in LA and one show in Boston. Rats.
	12:55pm northguineahills: I've never heard the Van Dyke Parks version, very nice.
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: The Slovenia glee club!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Rich! Glee!
	12:57pm Dean: Prompted by a comment on one of the FMU shows a couple days ago I read Richard Meltzer's "Vinyl Reckoning," in which he remarks that "Across the Universe" is his favorite Fab Four tune. He then points out that it was Lester Bangs', too.
	12:59pm northguineahills: Rammstein!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I like what my betters like too!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: The video for this Rammstein track is amazing.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: Meltzer is so inscrutable. You never know when he was saying he liked something just to provoke a reaction or if he genuinely liked it. I think he may have invented hipster irony, for better or worse.
	1:01pm Marie: I gotta get me some Rammstein!
	1:01pm johnk77: r.i.p. the rusty nail burned down in 1985 http://connectingpoint.wgby.org/2015/05/gone-but-not-forgotten-the-rusty-nail/ think i worked there with del fuegos
	🛒 1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Conversely - surely we all have stories of being one of the small handful that did show up to such gigs? : the whole point of Punk, whuddn't it? Seeing amazing people @ short range really messes you up for accepting less...
	1:03pm 67tele: yay Scott Walker!
	1:03pm redkayak: This isn't the "Governor of Wisconsin" Scott Walker, I gather.....
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: The Del Fuegos? Was that Juliana's first all ages show?
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Different guy!
	1:05pm Marie: "Farmer in the City"--that was my dad. Must listen to the lyrics.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: We got ourselves a Rammstein tribute over here. www.rammlied.com
	1:05pm Dean: Meltzer's writing is, obviously intentionally, inscrutable. But he's scrutable in person. He really does like The Doors, The Germs, Ornette...
	1:06pm annie: i love this... fascinating
	1:06pm Roberto: N. Scott Engel by birth.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't like the Doors. Does that make me better than him or not as good?
	1:06pm hyde: @johnk77 oh crap, that's right. i forgot it burned down!
	1:07pm 67tele: it's the 'Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' guy...
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Hi Annie! Hi Roberto!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: N. for Noel.
	1:08pm annie: is this a folk opera of some type?
	1:08pm Doug Schulkind: True story. I was once in a band that was the headlining act at a concert in the early '80s. The opening band on the bill was a group that later became The Del Fuegos. The name of that opening act? The Jogging Wankers. End of story.
	1:08pm 67tele: troll train drivin me insane...pullin outta the staion...gif gif gif gif gifgifgifgifgif
	1:09pm flash: Some people here need to bone up on their Scott Walker, dark prince of pop, exiled fraudulent duke of the British invasion, musical meat puncher
	1:10pm Dean: Stories of shows in small venues, some not well attended, non-punk version: LA Philharmonic at a high school auditorium (met Zubin Mehta backstage); Cheap Trick (Whisky, UC Irvine, Long Beach Auditorium, one other...they got better as the venue expanded); premier of a Harrison Birtwistle work at LA's Japan America Theater (sat in front of Birtwistle); same venue in Little Tokyo (Betty Freeman--of Cage's Freeman Etudes--stopped me to ask if we'd met at party recently). I don't like The Doors at all. Still don't get Meltzer's attraction to them. I was in a band that opened for The Sunset Bombers, Doug Feiger's pre-Knack band. We asked them if we could borrow equipment, and our request was declined. But later we opened for Levi & the Rockats. They were happy to share the gear.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Not exactly, Annie. During that period Scott had not yet abandoned the appearance of conceivably scrutable narratives.
	1:12pm Marie: Scott Walker's voice is so beautiful. I don't want to get up from my desk and get lunch cuz I'm diggin' the music so much, but I need some shrimp egg foo young.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: I remember buying Jackie 45.
	1:15pm flash: My favorite Scott Walker will always be Scott 4. I think it's a total masterpiece
	1:17pm Parq: Who, Hi there Bill Mac!
	🛒 1:18pm Brian in UK: Organs in Orbit.
	1:18pm Parq: "Whoa" - sorry.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I'm very much a Scott 4 guy.
	1:18pm ndbob: I remember when the Doors came to Baltimore and my mom wouldn't let me go because it was Yom Kippur
	1:18pm Stanley: Brian - he's playing THAT tune!!!
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: Parq Got me too.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: Stanley ha ha.
	1:19pm flash: it's that perfect mix of the earlier sort of baroque lushness and pop sensibility, and the later dark-genius esotericism
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Does Bill Mac play this?
	1:20pm Stanley: Organs - an album that almost always on the car CD player
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Yep..it's one of the two or three clear transitional moments.
	🛒 1:20pm Brian in UK: Uncle it is Bill's bed music.
	1:20pm flash: Bob that is a very amusing notion
	1:21pm flash: oh i love this track. i love this flick!
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: The film grabs me at the funeral scene and won't let go.
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Uncle missing Bill on Sat AM good timing for us Europeans.
	1:23pm ndbob: @flash I thought seeing the Doors would have been kinda appropriate:)
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't get not liking the doors - when it's a-okay to like The Stooges & the Bunnymen & Arthur Lee & Van Morrison & The Seeds & Nico & Mazzy Star & Mark Lanegan & everybody around them & whom they influnced in turn - but okay... ...& Jimbo's voice alone was the prime Rawk Croony voice seems to me - & Scott Walker too whilst on the subject - influenced Bowie & Julian Cope & bunches of Folk like that, no ??
	1:26pm johnk77: iggy was intensely inspired by the doors i agree w/rrn63
	🛒 1:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Scott Walker is too ironic or something for me. And I was crazy mad for the Doors when I was 14 but they haven't held up. FOR ME okay? Love the Hawaiian song.
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Nice, just checking in, digging this acoustic ragtime guitar (not on playlist yet).
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Doobies@!
	1:27pm flash: I'm sort of with you, Rabbit. The problem with The Doors for me is that they're so overrated/overplayed relative to their talent (with the total inverse being true of the others you mentioned I think). The Doors are still good in my book, with even some genius-tier work in there, but also a lot of belchy-rapey lazy circus farts too. Too many? Some would say so, others not
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Doc!
	1:28pm Dean: To be precise, I once liked The Doors, i.e., their hits. (Still have a Quadraphonic best-of LP.) But over time Morrison's vocal posturing & Manzarek's glibness (in interviews, I mean) & the post-mortem adoration of the band grew irritating. I decided it wasn't worth my time to spin their records.
	1:28pm flash: I would rather listen to the Doors than Zeppelin, but that's me
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I get that Morrison brought the Dionysian to rock...he was just such a terrible poet.
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Val Kilmer somehow doesn't help the Doors, either, though that bloated movie is an entertaining mess that I'd sit and watch just about any time I come across it.
	1:30pm flash: he wrote this one poem: "The sea is a vagina that can be penetrated at any point" ! Though I think The End is unassailably good as well, maybe despite itself, but still
	1:30pm Dean: I thought Dion brought the Dionysian to rock.
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: (And I agree with @UM @1:29.)
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Jim Morrison was a poet. Where have I been. Anyone is culpable of a bad line.
	1:31pm chromaphone: Hi. I just recently found some live stuff of the Doobies on youtube when McDonald had just joined the band and was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded. I have always preferred the earlier stuff but that was a smokin band.
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: the doors got Mainstream Success - most especially later after 'Apocalypse Now'. Stuff getting Played Out & oever-exposed - kill most anything, of course. Commercial formats only play three tunes by anyone tho' : You couldn't judge TheWho by just 'Won't Get Fooled Again' or 'Who Are You' - it ain't fair or accurate...
	🛒 1:31pm Brian in UK: I am the Lizard King I eat at Burger King Might need some work.
	1:32pm chromaphone: Some of Manzarek's keyboard sounds are just not my cup of meat but usually these days when the Doors come on the radio I find myself really digging it.
	1:33pm flash: I always think that if they were a more obscure cult band, they'd seem way more amazing
	🛒 1:34pm Brian in UK: I was pleased that the Doors hit big mainly for Elektra and Jac Holzman. Now if Love had toured.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: I think the Doors may be the most divisive band.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Brian...right?
	1:36pm flash: I'll second that emotion, Brian
	1:37pm flash: Is this Piccioni on Bora Bora?
	1:37pm Dean: Somebody once proposed that CCR are the least divisive band, in terms of the nearly universal appreciation of their music. Most divisive band, without a doubt: The Denominators.
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dylan was the 1st Punk - in the sense of deliberately going out to Confront when he went Electric (he's more often considered the Antithesis of Punk for being Wordy & elevating Rock'n'Roll to Art...) - & the doors were important in extending this. They were a big draw & had Hits in their own time (a brief few years - which is often startling to consider about legendary acts in that time...) They were rather notorious w/ Promoters & Authorities. & Audiences. That changed Iggy Pop's life. There was Garage (The Monks in Germany) & the Fugs & - most notably probably - the Velvet Underground before that....
	1:40pm Lane Gray: There wasn't enough Papa John Hughey on the Twitty, either.
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: Re the "divisive Doors": the original Rolling Stone Record Guide [red ed.] gave most Doors albums very high marks. The revised, New Rolling Stone Record Guide [blue ed.] demoted most albums considerably, a downgrade that really doesn't happen elsewhere in the book (that I've found).
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Flash, I don't have the research...that's from one of the Ultra Lounge comps.
	1:43pm Lane Gray: I like the Nashville Bar Association's version of this. Even has Emmons processed to sound like a harpsichord
	1:45pm Jeff Golick: This Whitfield goes very well with the gif today.
	1:45pm Doug Schulkind: Good friend of the stream/station, Paul Sherratt of the UK, aka The Bloke From Stoke, has had Barrence Whitfield as a house guest. Not sure about the savages, though.
	1:46pm doctorjazz: No drum solo????
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, right back in the office for the Iron Butterfly cover! How do all Hinkies and Dinkies!
	1:46pm chromaphone: My buddy is recording an album with the Savages' guitarist at his studio apparently.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: James! chromaphone!
	🛒 1:48pm Brian in UK: I think it was Paul Rothschild who said that Morrison never was a musician. Nuff said.
	🛒 1:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: doctorjazz, I'm with you. Some of the Doors' stuff is just embarrassing. But I've always wondered what Jim M would be doing now if he was alive.
	1:49pm chromaphone: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, UM!
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Me, I never could handle more than 5 minutes of the Doors...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Infomercials during PBS fund drives.
	1:49pm annie: "sittin' in a park in paris, france"
	1:49pm doctorjazz: There's the drum solo, not up with Iron Buttterfly, but, then again, what is?
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I was a Doors fan but it wore off young.
	🛒 1:50pm Brian in UK: Favourite Barrence line 'Stop Twisting my Arm, I Already Love You.'
	1:51pm Jeff Golick: Off to pick up my kid at school! Thanks for a rockin' good time, Uncle Michael. Good weekend to one and all!
	1:52pm johnk77: riders in the sky #1 on this list of top 100 western songs http://www.webcitation.org/6RjFQXqGy
	1:52pm chromaphone: Kreiger has a lot of feeling in his playing. He is probably my fav part of their music.
	1:52pm Doug Schulkind: I love Shin Jung Hyun & the Questions cover of "In-a-Kadda-Da-Vida" bomber-blog.blogspot.com...
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: take care, Jeff!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: John, certainly the most recorded.
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: "Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll music!"
	1:54pm doctorjazz: What a hoot!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Try the Andorran roll.
	1:56pm annie: LjfWW.... i give up, where did i hear that?
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: Maestros in Concert: Zakir Hussain, tabla; Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, santoor, March 21, 2009. Johnson County Community Center....I was there.
	2:00pm Marie: I got tired of the doors a long time ago.
	2:03pm Stanley: I caught them too, in Edinburgh. Absolutely sublime.
	2:03pm chromaphone: Saw him with Fleck and Mayer a few years ago and was floored.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: @annie: It was Rev. Lovejoy in "The Simpsons" finally realizing XX minutes in that he was not actually hearing a hymn called "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly. Shortly before a beach ball bounces from the congregation and off of his head.
	2:05pm chromaphone: I think I also saw him with Mickey Hart's planet drum like 20 years ago and was also floored.
	2:07pm Stanley: Yay! Classic Rock!
	2:08pm annie: YES!!!!..... now i see the scene.. thanks!!
	2:08pm Alex In Illinois: That was the episode in which Bart sold his soul to Millhouse for 5 bucks.
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: chromaphone...I saw that too! did he play the metal flowers that were midi triggers?
	2:09pm doctorjazz: No problem with most of the Who's output, any time!
	2:11pm chromaphone: @UM - that sounds right but I am embarassed to say that I don't remember so well... I remember being most blown away by him and the guy who played the huge pot thing.
	2:11pm Lizardner Dave: Quadrophenia is my favorite rock album ever most days.
	2:11pm Dean: A little Ten Years After? Savoy Brown?
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Say what, Dean? Yes to SB someday soon...not big on 10YA
	2:15pm Dean: Okay, then, I'm holding you to SB.
	2:15pm chromaphone: I guess the other percussionist I mentioned on the Planet Drum tour was Thetakudi Harihara Vinayakram and he played a ghatam. And is also from India. think I will go try to find some of his recorded music...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: fair enough!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: I saw Planet Drum on a Furthur Festival tour date.
	2:21pm chromaphone: I saw them at Berklee College of Music. Saw Hussein with Flack and Mayer in Savannah, GA which was a hoot.
	🛒 2:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: If you'd asked me who Peabo Bryson is I'd have guessed a football player. Live and learn.
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Hank Wilson's Front
	2:29pm annie: i loved this album so much...
	2:29pm Lane Gray: Peabo actually was almost his middle name. Originally. Robert Peapo Bryson. C. Lane Gray approves of middle name guys and gals
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: @Alex in Illinois: Exactly so. Amanda recapped it not too long ago IIRC.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Leon, Annie?
	🛒 2:31pm Brian in UK: Great show, Uncle. To the kitchen.
	2:31pm Lane Gray: Lloyd? Sonny Garrish?
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Good luck Brian!
	2:33pm Lane Gray: I'd never heard Rosetta play acoustic
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Maybe she just forgot to plug it in.
	🛒 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM ! ...must go...
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Take care Rev!
	2:39pm Marie: I like the way this guy sings.
	2:39pm chromaphone: Great show as usual UM, gotta hit the road (without internet).

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 6, 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.

	12:10pm Jeff Golick: All aboard the Baby Jane trane.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:12pm still b/p: Somehow seems appropriate in Hinky Dinky Time to note yesterday's death of the designer of Batmobile and Munster Coach.
	12:12pm Lane Gray: Stanley, Brian, last night (9 central) was exceptional. Run Rabbit Run to I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. Another Brick In the Wall to Do Re Mi My Old Man's a Dustman to Scarborough Fair Tell you What I Want (what I really really want) to Modern Major General
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: Humphrey was the man.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Song coming up that amazingly, Matt played on his show yesterday...
	🛒 12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ROK BritCom Channel ! ! Thx guys. I knew about this one: www.abacus.fm...
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I wish I had a suitable George Barris tribute planned.
	12:13pm still b/p: ..ahem...Munster Koach with a K.
	12:14pm Mike Sin: Well all right! I'm along for the ride in real time. Sounds cool... Good to hear a "post-Wilko" Dr. Feelgood track.
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Lane ever tried BBC Radio 4 Extra?
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Mike! Yes! I have the 12"
	12:16pm Lane Gray: Rabbit, Abacus doesn't run on a schedule, and lacks ISIHAC. ROK has a schedule here www.rokradio.com...
	12:16pm hyde: ok, i've got a brief window to enjoy some live Hinky Dinky. Let's make it count! (not that you ever don't)
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abacus has a Goon channel as well: www.abacus.fm
	12:16pm Stanley: Brian - is BBC Radio available outside of the UK?
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: This singer could sub for Ian Anderson anytime...
	12:17pm Lane Gray: Brian, I regularly listen to both Radio 4 and 4Extra

	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Steve!

	12:18pm Lane Gray: As well as all the wfmu streams
	12:18pm Stevel: UM! Its Friday (and I don't work over the weekend!)
	🛒 12:19pm Brian in UK: You can go directly to the BBC site. Radio is available not TV.
	12:19pm Mike Sin: re: This version of "Les Cactus" Was this cut earlier/sometime later? It sounds totally different from the version I'm familiar with. Different key and vocal delivery.
	12:20pm Stanley: Right. Radio is better anyway.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I don't know, Mike. Let me know when you find out.
	🛒 12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I get BBC podcasts 'Friday Night Comedy' - which is UK topical News Comedy like NPR's 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' (basically) - & 'Newsjack' ...
	12:21pm hyde: BBC also has downloadable podcasts for a lot of its shows at its website, I often consume 5 Live Football, the Food Programme and Kitchen Cabinet that way.
	🛒 12:22pm Brian in UK: Radio is a grown up. TV is like a little child, has to be watched all the time.
	12:25pm johnk77: r.i.p. george barris check out his voxmobile http://www.barris.com/carsgallery/noveltyproduct/voxmobile.php
	12:26pm Lane Gray: Speaking of the podcasts, check out the recent Desert Island Discs, with Keith Richards. Good choices, good interview.
	12:29pm 67tele: @johnk77: they used to have that voxmobile at Gauver Baroque music store on colfax Ave. here in Denver back in the 80's if I recall...its even cooler in 'person'
	12:29pm Marie: Happy Chelsea morning!
	12:29pm Stanley: RRN63 - Friday night comedy is about to start in an hour, over here. But available on 'listen later' so I can stick with Hinky Dinky Time
	12:31pm Parq: Great Tropicalia (if Americanized) version of a great Joni song. That verse about the food (ending in "talk in present tenses") just kills me.
	12:31pm Dean: For the first few measures of the Adriano Celentano I thought we were in for Los Lobos.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: John! Tele! Marie! Dean!
	12:31pm redkayak: Howdy all - is there still room on the Troll Train?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: All aboard Red!
	12:32pm Dean: At a public library job many years ago I was on desk when David Hidalgo dropped in with his kids.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm a fan. I'd have talked to him and stuff.
	12:35pm Marie: Hey Parq, I love that line too. Los Lobos is great live, anyone else ever seen them? Hi Uncle Michael :>)
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Cesar is a badass...I'da been scared to talk to him.
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Confess I cannot stand 'Just a Minute'.
	🛒 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I prefer listening w/ the much-reviled iTunes - because I can do & see everything in one place there. Every stream site prefers you use their own player. So - it's a bit of a cat & mouse game getting the Stream Addresses...there are programs that tell you I should find out about...BBC funding is kinda Socialist - so getting stuff in the U.S. is sometimes tricky or just denied (YouTubes as well). I've found the BBC Radio streams change addresses now & then!...
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I've seen them a number of times...including one terrible show and one of my all time top five shows.
	12:37pm Dean: Fan here, too, but I maintained professional decorum. I saw them, though, precisely once, when they opened for PIL at Olympic Auditorium.
	12:38pm Marie: @ Uncle Michael--yeah, it's like if you can be great, you can be really bad too, whereas mediocrity doesn't seem to vary that much...
	12:38pm Jeff g.: Taking you into the shower, @UM. Mind the decks!
	🛒 12:38pm Brian in UK: @Dean Remember seeing them live and after ever song DH would hitch his jeans up. Don't know why but I thought that was really cool and down to earth.
	12:39pm Marie: I'm going to see PIL in a couple of weeks, in Chicago--really looking forward to it!
	12:39pm efd: I'm not really here, but if I were I'd pop in to say I like this Hot Dogs track.
	🛒 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is 'La Pistola y El Corazón' (1988) regarded as a Classic? Because that is a fine fine album. & the way Los Lobos does both RawkBand & MexicanTrad impresses the crap outta me...
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: When I saw them rock Liberty Hall in Lawrence, KS they had 600 people in the palm of their collective hand. Such an awesome show.
	12:40pm Dean: UM has already sneezed once. Make sure you dry him off, @Jeff g. The Olympic Auditorium gig was an early one. IIRC, and it's entirely possible that IDRC, at least one of them wore a sombrero.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Was that Evan Funk Davies??? Nah.
	12:40pm Lane Gray: Is there a connection between Hot Dogs and Status Quo?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Nope...but I hear it too.
	12:42pm Dean: I regard La Pistola as a classic, fwiw. I think I have three copies, two LPs, one CD.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Yep...a classic.
	12:47pm hyde: re: Los Lobos. I made a horrible call in college in the early 80's when on the night of a blizzard, Los Lobos played at The Rusty Nail in Sunderland. I opted not to go, but my roomate did. Turned out that almost no one showed up, only about 15 paid admissions but Los Lobos were there and played anyway and did two sets and were apparently amazin. D'oh.
	12:47pm Marie: I really liked that version of "Can You Get to That". Mikey, you make some great choices, to me.
	12:49pm Dean: Rusty Nail? Don't know the venue. Love the drink.
	12:50pm Parq: Hyde, I bet most folks have stories like that. I still remember on an early date with the woman I eventually married, we were at a local club for a three-band bill. My girl was not a late night person, and it was a Tuesday, so at her insistence despite my own reluctance, I agreed to leave after the second band. The third and top-billed band was a then-new ensemble called the Residents.
	12:52pm hyde: @Dean it was a great place in the town next to UMass. Closed at the end of the 80's/early 90's sometime. I saw great people there--Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, King Sunny Ade, X, James Brown. Many memories.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Marie.
	12:54pm hyde: @Parq yeah, no doubt. I also passed on seeing Spinal Tap in the 80's on the coast to coast tour where they played one show in LA and one show in Boston. Rats.
	12:55pm northguineahills: I've never heard the Van Dyke Parks version, very nice.
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: The Slovenia glee club!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Rich! Glee!
	12:57pm Dean: Prompted by a comment on one of the FMU shows a couple days ago I read Richard Meltzer's "Vinyl Reckoning," in which he remarks that "Across the Universe" is his favorite Fab Four tune. He then points out that it was Lester Bangs', too.
	12:59pm northguineahills: Rammstein!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I like what my betters like too!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: The video for this Rammstein track is amazing.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: Meltzer is so inscrutable. You never know when he was saying he liked something just to provoke a reaction or if he genuinely liked it. I think he may have invented hipster irony, for better or worse.
	1:01pm Marie: I gotta get me some Rammstein!
	1:01pm johnk77: r.i.p. the rusty nail burned down in 1985 http://connectingpoint.wgby.org/2015/05/gone-but-not-forgotten-the-rusty-nail/ think i worked there with del fuegos
	🛒 1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Conversely - surely we all have stories of being one of the small handful that did show up to such gigs? : the whole point of Punk, whuddn't it? Seeing amazing people @ short range really messes you up for accepting less...
	1:03pm 67tele: yay Scott Walker!
	1:03pm redkayak: This isn't the "Governor of Wisconsin" Scott Walker, I gather.....
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: The Del Fuegos? Was that Juliana's first all ages show?
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Different guy!
	1:05pm Marie: "Farmer in the City"--that was my dad. Must listen to the lyrics.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: We got ourselves a Rammstein tribute over here. www.rammlied.com
	1:05pm Dean: Meltzer's writing is, obviously intentionally, inscrutable. But he's scrutable in person. He really does like The Doors, The Germs, Ornette...
	1:06pm annie: i love this... fascinating
	1:06pm Roberto: N. Scott Engel by birth.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't like the Doors. Does that make me better than him or not as good?
	1:06pm hyde: @johnk77 oh crap, that's right. i forgot it burned down!
	1:07pm 67tele: it's the 'Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' guy...
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Hi Annie! Hi Roberto!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: N. for Noel.
	1:08pm annie: is this a folk opera of some type?
	1:08pm Doug Schulkind: True story. I was once in a band that was the headlining act at a concert in the early '80s. The opening band on the bill was a group that later became The Del Fuegos. The name of that opening act? The Jogging Wankers. End of story.
	1:08pm 67tele: troll train drivin me insane...pullin outta the staion...gif gif gif gif gifgifgifgifgif
	1:09pm flash: Some people here need to bone up on their Scott Walker, dark prince of pop, exiled fraudulent duke of the British invasion, musical meat puncher
	1:10pm Dean: Stories of shows in small venues, some not well attended, non-punk version: LA Philharmonic at a high school auditorium (met Zubin Mehta backstage); Cheap Trick (Whisky, UC Irvine, Long Beach Auditorium, one other...they got better as the venue expanded); premier of a Harrison Birtwistle work at LA's Japan America Theater (sat in front of Birtwistle); same venue in Little Tokyo (Betty Freeman--of Cage's Freeman Etudes--stopped me to ask if we'd met at party recently). I don't like The Doors at all. Still don't get Meltzer's attraction to them. I was in a band that opened for The Sunset Bombers, Doug Feiger's pre-Knack band. We asked them if we could borrow equipment, and our request was declined. But later we opened for Levi & the Rockats. They were happy to share the gear.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Not exactly, Annie. During that period Scott had not yet abandoned the appearance of conceivably scrutable narratives.
	1:12pm Marie: Scott Walker's voice is so beautiful. I don't want to get up from my desk and get lunch cuz I'm diggin' the music so much, but I need some shrimp egg foo young.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: I remember buying Jackie 45.
	1:15pm flash: My favorite Scott Walker will always be Scott 4. I think it's a total masterpiece
	1:17pm Parq: Who, Hi there Bill Mac!
	🛒 1:18pm Brian in UK: Organs in Orbit.
	1:18pm Parq: "Whoa" - sorry.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I'm very much a Scott 4 guy.
	1:18pm ndbob: I remember when the Doors came to Baltimore and my mom wouldn't let me go because it was Yom Kippur
	1:18pm Stanley: Brian - he's playing THAT tune!!!
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: Parq Got me too.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: Stanley ha ha.
	1:19pm flash: it's that perfect mix of the earlier sort of baroque lushness and pop sensibility, and the later dark-genius esotericism
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Does Bill Mac play this?
	1:20pm Stanley: Organs - an album that almost always on the car CD player
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Yep..it's one of the two or three clear transitional moments.
	🛒 1:20pm Brian in UK: Uncle it is Bill's bed music.
	1:20pm flash: Bob that is a very amusing notion
	1:21pm flash: oh i love this track. i love this flick!
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: The film grabs me at the funeral scene and won't let go.
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Uncle missing Bill on Sat AM good timing for us Europeans.
	1:23pm ndbob: @flash I thought seeing the Doors would have been kinda appropriate:)
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't get not liking the doors - when it's a-okay to like The Stooges & the Bunnymen & Arthur Lee & Van Morrison & The Seeds & Nico & Mazzy Star & Mark Lanegan & everybody around them & whom they influnced in turn - but okay... ...& Jimbo's voice alone was the prime Rawk Croony voice seems to me - & Scott Walker too whilst on the subject - influenced Bowie & Julian Cope & bunches of Folk like that, no ??
	1:26pm johnk77: iggy was intensely inspired by the doors i agree w/rrn63
	🛒 1:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Scott Walker is too ironic or something for me. And I was crazy mad for the Doors when I was 14 but they haven't held up. FOR ME okay? Love the Hawaiian song.
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Nice, just checking in, digging this acoustic ragtime guitar (not on playlist yet).
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Doobies@!
	1:27pm flash: I'm sort of with you, Rabbit. The problem with The Doors for me is that they're so overrated/overplayed relative to their talent (with the total inverse being true of the others you mentioned I think). The Doors are still good in my book, with even some genius-tier work in there, but also a lot of belchy-rapey lazy circus farts too. Too many? Some would say so, others not
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Doc!
	1:28pm Dean: To be precise, I once liked The Doors, i.e., their hits. (Still have a Quadraphonic best-of LP.) But over time Morrison's vocal posturing & Manzarek's glibness (in interviews, I mean) & the post-mortem adoration of the band grew irritating. I decided it wasn't worth my time to spin their records.
	1:28pm flash: I would rather listen to the Doors than Zeppelin, but that's me
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I get that Morrison brought the Dionysian to rock...he was just such a terrible poet.
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Val Kilmer somehow doesn't help the Doors, either, though that bloated movie is an entertaining mess that I'd sit and watch just about any time I come across it.
	1:30pm flash: he wrote this one poem: "The sea is a vagina that can be penetrated at any point" ! Though I think The End is unassailably good as well, maybe despite itself, but still
	1:30pm Dean: I thought Dion brought the Dionysian to rock.
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: (And I agree with @UM @1:29.)
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Jim Morrison was a poet. Where have I been. Anyone is culpable of a bad line.
	1:31pm chromaphone: Hi. I just recently found some live stuff of the Doobies on youtube when McDonald had just joined the band and was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded. I have always preferred the earlier stuff but that was a smokin band.
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: the doors got Mainstream Success - most especially later after 'Apocalypse Now'. Stuff getting Played Out & oever-exposed - kill most anything, of course. Commercial formats only play three tunes by anyone tho' : You couldn't judge TheWho by just 'Won't Get Fooled Again' or 'Who Are You' - it ain't fair or accurate...
	🛒 1:31pm Brian in UK: I am the Lizard King I eat at Burger King Might need some work.
	1:32pm chromaphone: Some of Manzarek's keyboard sounds are just not my cup of meat but usually these days when the Doors come on the radio I find myself really digging it.
	1:33pm flash: I always think that if they were a more obscure cult band, they'd seem way more amazing
	🛒 1:34pm Brian in UK: I was pleased that the Doors hit big mainly for Elektra and Jac Holzman. Now if Love had toured.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: I think the Doors may be the most divisive band.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Brian...right?
	1:36pm flash: I'll second that emotion, Brian
	1:37pm flash: Is this Piccioni on Bora Bora?
	1:37pm Dean: Somebody once proposed that CCR are the least divisive band, in terms of the nearly universal appreciation of their music. Most divisive band, without a doubt: The Denominators.
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dylan was the 1st Punk - in the sense of deliberately going out to Confront when he went Electric (he's more often considered the Antithesis of Punk for being Wordy & elevating Rock'n'Roll to Art...) - & the doors were important in extending this. They were a big draw & had Hits in their own time (a brief few years - which is often startling to consider about legendary acts in that time...) They were rather notorious w/ Promoters & Authorities. & Audiences. That changed Iggy Pop's life. There was Garage (The Monks in Germany) & the Fugs & - most notably probably - the Velvet Underground before that....
	1:40pm Lane Gray: There wasn't enough Papa John Hughey on the Twitty, either.
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: Re the "divisive Doors": the original Rolling Stone Record Guide [red ed.] gave most Doors albums very high marks. The revised, New Rolling Stone Record Guide [blue ed.] demoted most albums considerably, a downgrade that really doesn't happen elsewhere in the book (that I've found).
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Flash, I don't have the research...that's from one of the Ultra Lounge comps.
	1:43pm Lane Gray: I like the Nashville Bar Association's version of this. Even has Emmons processed to sound like a harpsichord
	1:45pm Jeff Golick: This Whitfield goes very well with the gif today.
	1:45pm Doug Schulkind: Good friend of the stream/station, Paul Sherratt of the UK, aka The Bloke From Stoke, has had Barrence Whitfield as a house guest. Not sure about the savages, though.
	1:46pm doctorjazz: No drum solo????
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, right back in the office for the Iron Butterfly cover! How do all Hinkies and Dinkies!
	1:46pm chromaphone: My buddy is recording an album with the Savages' guitarist at his studio apparently.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: James! chromaphone!
	🛒 1:48pm Brian in UK: I think it was Paul Rothschild who said that Morrison never was a musician. Nuff said.
	🛒 1:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: doctorjazz, I'm with you. Some of the Doors' stuff is just embarrassing. But I've always wondered what Jim M would be doing now if he was alive.
	1:49pm chromaphone: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, UM!
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Me, I never could handle more than 5 minutes of the Doors...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Infomercials during PBS fund drives.
	1:49pm annie: "sittin' in a park in paris, france"
	1:49pm doctorjazz: There's the drum solo, not up with Iron Buttterfly, but, then again, what is?
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I was a Doors fan but it wore off young.
	🛒 1:50pm Brian in UK: Favourite Barrence line 'Stop Twisting my Arm, I Already Love You.'
	1:51pm Jeff Golick: Off to pick up my kid at school! Thanks for a rockin' good time, Uncle Michael. Good weekend to one and all!
	1:52pm johnk77: riders in the sky #1 on this list of top 100 western songs http://www.webcitation.org/6RjFQXqGy
	1:52pm chromaphone: Kreiger has a lot of feeling in his playing. He is probably my fav part of their music.
	1:52pm Doug Schulkind: I love Shin Jung Hyun & the Questions cover of "In-a-Kadda-Da-Vida" bomber-blog.blogspot.com...
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: take care, Jeff!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: John, certainly the most recorded.
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: "Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll music!"
	1:54pm doctorjazz: What a hoot!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Try the Andorran roll.
	1:56pm annie: LjfWW.... i give up, where did i hear that?
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: Maestros in Concert: Zakir Hussain, tabla; Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, santoor, March 21, 2009. Johnson County Community Center....I was there.
	2:00pm Marie: I got tired of the doors a long time ago.
	2:03pm Stanley: I caught them too, in Edinburgh. Absolutely sublime.
	2:03pm chromaphone: Saw him with Fleck and Mayer a few years ago and was floored.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: @annie: It was Rev. Lovejoy in "The Simpsons" finally realizing XX minutes in that he was not actually hearing a hymn called "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly. Shortly before a beach ball bounces from the congregation and off of his head.
	2:05pm chromaphone: I think I also saw him with Mickey Hart's planet drum like 20 years ago and was also floored.
	2:07pm Stanley: Yay! Classic Rock!
	2:08pm annie: YES!!!!..... now i see the scene.. thanks!!
	2:08pm Alex In Illinois: That was the episode in which Bart sold his soul to Millhouse for 5 bucks.
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: chromaphone...I saw that too! did he play the metal flowers that were midi triggers?
	2:09pm doctorjazz: No problem with most of the Who's output, any time!
	2:11pm chromaphone: @UM - that sounds right but I am embarassed to say that I don't remember so well... I remember being most blown away by him and the guy who played the huge pot thing.
	2:11pm Lizardner Dave: Quadrophenia is my favorite rock album ever most days.
	2:11pm Dean: A little Ten Years After? Savoy Brown?
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Say what, Dean? Yes to SB someday soon...not big on 10YA
	2:15pm Dean: Okay, then, I'm holding you to SB.
	2:15pm chromaphone: I guess the other percussionist I mentioned on the Planet Drum tour was Thetakudi Harihara Vinayakram and he played a ghatam. And is also from India. think I will go try to find some of his recorded music...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: fair enough!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: I saw Planet Drum on a Furthur Festival tour date.
	2:21pm chromaphone: I saw them at Berklee College of Music. Saw Hussein with Flack and Mayer in Savannah, GA which was a hoot.
	🛒 2:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: If you'd asked me who Peabo Bryson is I'd have guessed a football player. Live and learn.
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Hank Wilson's Front
	2:29pm annie: i loved this album so much...
	2:29pm Lane Gray: Peabo actually was almost his middle name. Originally. Robert Peapo Bryson. C. Lane Gray approves of middle name guys and gals
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: @Alex in Illinois: Exactly so. Amanda recapped it not too long ago IIRC.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Leon, Annie?
	🛒 2:31pm Brian in UK: Great show, Uncle. To the kitchen.
	2:31pm Lane Gray: Lloyd? Sonny Garrish?
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Good luck Brian!
	2:33pm Lane Gray: I'd never heard Rosetta play acoustic
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Maybe she just forgot to plug it in.
	🛒 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM ! ...must go...
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Take care Rev!
	2:39pm Marie: I like the way this guy sings.
	2:39pm chromaphone: Great show as usual UM, gotta hit the road (without internet).
	2:40pm Stanley: Folk Rock Psychedelic Fuzz Dance Party - my kinda party!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: take care chromaphone...thanks!

	2:41pm Uncle Michael: wow...that's excellent thanks john...it's not over!
	2:42pm 67tele: lemme guess...mr hagar?
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: We have one more classic rock foray in the offing...
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: hagaresque
	2:43pm Stanley: Bring it on UM
	2:44pm 67tele: if it walks like a hagar and screams like a hagar...
	2:44pm Doug Schulkind: Hagaresque: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	2:45pm johnk77: smokey's current show emphasizes quiet storm material also i knew that was not samuel hogarth
	2:46pm Lane Gray: I think Brillig and the Slithy Toves would be a good name for a college rock band.
	2:47pm Dean: "Focus" is the title of the new Ariane Grande song. Wonder if it's a tribute to this band...
	2:47pm Stanley: Hocus Pocus - a Monster!
	2:48pm doctorjazz: The classic rock yodel...which Scandinavian country were these guys from?
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: lemme put my viking helmet on...
	🛒 2:48pm KevinfromBayRidge: Need to Focus on my Hocus Pocus( maybe in HoHoKus!). Another one outta da Park, Unc!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: A monster with a sense of humor. Deflates its own bombast. That's why I will always love it.
	2:49pm Stanley: Holland (not Scandinavia)
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Kevin!
	2:49pm Dean: I sometimes confuse Focus with Flash, vice versa.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I don't know Flash.
	🛒 2:50pm KevinfromBayRidge: Flash sans Prog!
	2:51pm Dean: Peter Banks post-Yes, British prog, not half bad.
	🛒 2:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc . just listen to Clay!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Will delve. The 6:41 Focus includes the kitchen sink.
	2:52pm Dean: And, lo!, Jan Akkerman plays on Banks' first solo album: http://www.discogs.com/Peter-Banks-Two-Sides-Of-Peter-Banks/release/1903227
