I am early. (Or very, very late for last week's show.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42am Artie Haywire:

Unstructured, unstressed (untrue).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44am Charlie:

Hey, earlybirds. You can never be too late for last week's show, Gary, what with archives...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50am listener james from westwood:

Early howdy, Charlie and all!

Gary, I think Ken starts typing away on his playlist at like 6ish each day, so you'd not be alone in being early.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am listener james from westwood:

I've got either barking dogs on the stream, or that message that the Son of Sam was receiving is coming through.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am Charlie:

Hi there James.
@Gary knows at least one song I'm gonna play today.
Avatar 11:57am Michael:

Hiya Charlie. Hiya fellow travelers.

That's the life, eh, Gary?

Hap Palmer...he was the bane of my existence when my kids were very young! (almost as bad as Barney).

wearing my fools' cap
Avatar 12:16pm βrian:

This should've been the entree track, Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:18pm Charlie:

ßrian -- fools are always rushing in here, lol -- especially your host ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:20pm Charlie:

Actually, Fools Rush In would be a good name for this radio show.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:21pm doctorjazz:

Love this Steely Dan. Feeling a bit foolish myself.
  12:22pm gary mitchell:

you're killing me with this groovy stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Uncle Michael:

Wow, a cover of my favorite SD song that I never knew existed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Charlie:

crush grooves
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Uncle Michael:

This is also my favorite answer song.
Avatar 12:25pm bobdoesthings:

Avatar 12:26pm mauri:

cut every song somewhere from 2s to middle with a mic break

Welcome to our confederacy of dunces.

To Do was the dog in the Wizard of Oz, right?
Avatar 12:30pm βrian:

No, it's Japanese for "The Way of When"
Avatar 12:32pm bobdoesthings:

I don't know what "bob the bob" means.. but it makes me uncomfortable.
Avatar 12:34pm Carmichael:

Yeah. I'm a huge Dan Hicks fan.

Hi nd-Bob-ar-ee-no!
  12:40pm judy from croton:

Just tuned in to hear the music of childhood! Not this group, but same stuff. My dad was a violinist.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:41pm doctorjazz:

Pretty cover, heard this one before, the McCaslin.
cool set!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:42pm listener james from westwood:

Agreed on both counts, doctorjazz!
Avatar 12:43pm βrian:

I do believe Mary M recorded in a barn that I was later to live in.
Avatar 12:45pm ndbob:

wow Brian
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:45pm doctorjazz:

Man, I have this on the Rascals Greatest Hits, don't think I've ever listened to it (skip to the hits), love it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Charlie:

Hi Judy from Crouton -- did your dad play in a Moldavian orchestra?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:48pm Charlie:

cool, ßrian
  12:50pm Jack D:

Rad show!
Avatar 12:52pm βrian:

The barn is still there, but there's no longer any trace of the recording setup. Studio B is no more.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:54pm Mike East:

definitely more than one note in there...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:55pm doctorjazz:

Ken used to play this great mix of one note guitar solos.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

yah, that's fun
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm Charlie:

Asha's still around spreading joy . .
Avatar 12:58pm Carmichael:

Foreign boogie bop?!?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:00pm Charlie:

Did not know Asha was still around, Gary! She and her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, have sung on thousands of film soundtracks.

He's scolding me from the ether. He was Hungarian. Greatest snob ever, and I mistook Moldovian; oh, the horror.
  1:05pm judy from croton:

My favorite song. Waters of March.
Man, what a show!

Avatar 1:32pm Carmichael:

I love this Vogues song!
Avatar 1:33pm Carmichael:

Yep, Bob. Petula wrote it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:33pm Brian in UK:

I think Roger Daltrey was right about not passing thirty years of ago. Pop stars should be compulsory retired at that age.

Carmichael Five O'Clock World was my favourite.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:35pm Charlie:

I love Petula's version.
Avatar 1:42pm Carmichael:

Hey, it's the Waters of March guy!
