	12:12pm Uncle Michael: DUKE-CHROMAPHONE-HENRY! Hi.
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Before spying the playlist, I thought to myself, "Very Hogan's Heroish."
	12:17pm Stanley: Yay! The Great Escape
	12:17pm listener james from westwood: Ah, the "Great Escape" theme, always a good one to whistle when sneaking outta work early.
	12:19pm chromaphone: wow, I have a lag on the stream. I'm still at Doll by Doll
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: What listening source are you using, chromaphone?
	12:21pm chromaphone: iPhone. I just stopped and started again and now am listening to the lush harmonies of Sweet :)
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Can you dig it can you dig it...
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: chromaphon, fmu app? mp3 stream? TuneIn radio?
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Android. Tunein. Good morning, Unca Michael
	12:29pm chromaphone: fmu app. But seems to be in sync now.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Interesting. LANE! Hi.
	12:30pm Flash Strap: hate to, but got to, skedaddle. nature calls, and I must tramp amongst its riches with the breeze in my nostrils. farewell, friends, yea but for now
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: See ya later, Strapman...thanks for being.
	12:32pm mauri: theres a strapmaaan waiting in the sky...
	12:32pm Lane Gray: New codriver is a bonehead. "I thought I could make it to the truck stop." And 1150 mile range and he had to use all of it
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: bonehead drove 1150 miles without you spellin'?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: everybody chair dance with me
	12:35pm chromaphone: Is this JJ from Good Times' theme?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I believe it's Jimmy-Walker-inspired.
	12:36pm chromaphone: my 16 month old son is an amazing chair dancer. He is also all about funk music.
	12:36pm mauri: you can beat the young
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: You do time for that, now.
	12:41pm Listener Robert: So after all this time we finally get a picture of the Hinky Dinky Supermarket, or at least what will be deemed such for our purposes.
	12:42pm mauri: just let them hit back and its fine.
	12:42pm Lane Gray: He fueled a hundred miles before I took over yesterday morning. I drove from ten am to 830 pm. He then drove til 8 am without fueling. A whole damn day.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Insane in the brain, Lane. He needs a talkin' to.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: ROBERT! Hi. I could put up a more accurate picure...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Here: www.jimalinder.com...
	12:46pm chromaphone: Well my coworker won't listen to the GTDS stream in the morning so I think I have it worse than you Lane.
	12:47pm Lane Gray: And when the primer pump doesn't work, it takes two cans of ether to prime a Paccar motor. Feeding it enough ether to keep it going til it roars to life...
	12:47pm Mike East: Yet another positive comment on the music today from a coworker walking into the office...continued from Doug's show. Very interesting that each of these coworkers has drastically different tastes...FMU's got something for everyone!
	12:48pm Lane Gray: He listened to Diesel Smoke and Dangerous Curves last night...
	12:48pm Stanley: Wonderful but Friday after work beer calls. Later.
	12:49pm Lane Gray: Well done, Mike
	12:51pm Eric: is this the theme from Webster?
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Babbitt: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: ERIC! Hi.
	12:53pm Eric: Hi Mike yeah it was, but not this version
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Nice to hear, Mike.
	12:56pm Goyim in the AM: Wikipedia doesn't even mention Babbit's pro wrestling career. How can you skip a detail like that???
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Correct the entry, GitAM!
	12:58pm Goyim in the AM: Maybe I will!
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: Rubberman used to be the theme song for a segment on Bronwyn C. 's old show.
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: rubber BAND man that is.
	1:00pm andy the painter: yes. rubber band man!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: cool...what sort of segment?
	1:00pm Goyim in the AM: There is a hilarious photo in an old issue of Bass Player of Babbit as a pro wrestler -- he looks like a 70s hipster heel.
	1:01pm Jeff Golick: This set = glorious time traveling. Hi.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: JEFF! Hi.
	1:02pm Alex In Illinois: But Wikipedia does mention Hulk Hogan's brief career as a bass player.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: full circle
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: half nelson
	1:03pm Webhamster Henry: Somehow Bronwyn got her hands on a kid's home made adventure of a superhero named Rubbernman. I can't remember if she narrated it or played tapes of it; I might have an aircheck somewhere.
	1:04pm Mike East: that sound that accompanies the snare...or maybe it is a snare...sounds kinda like a woodblock with tons of reverb, no?
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to have to dig into her archives. Racketball, has always been my theory, Mike.
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Great soul set, UM!
	1:07pm Mike East: hahaha!
	1:08pm Listener Robert: I still think the music Irwin's been opening his show with for a good # of yrs. now sounds like Man From UNCLE. It may be that the TV show's theme was ripped off the show tune.
	1:12pm melinda: hi people!
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: TOAC: best record ever made?
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: MELINDA! Hi.
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: Strong contender if not actually king. Hell, even the isolated vocal track of TOAC, which I've heard on FMU now and again, kicks all manner of ass.
	🛒 1:15pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Now I'm curious about what The Wamboo could be.
	1:17pm Alex In Illinois: But does he do the Peanut Duck?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: ALEX! Hi.
	1:18pm chromaphone: No TOAC is not the best record ever made.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Babbitt shines on the Robert Palmer record.
	1:20pm chromaphone: Was just noticing the bass is nice and melodic and loud.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: Was Tears of a Clown put on the disc on the Voyager? Oh wow! I never noticed the bass work on Every Kinda People before!.
	1:20pm Rich in Washington: what a lovely song, the Robert Palmer tune. I had completely forgotten about it. Didn't realize it was Palmer.
	1:21pm Goyim in the AM: You can hear the strength in Babbit's right hand on this Palmer track. Man oh man.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: Y'all have really good ears.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: like alabaster shells, Jeff. RICH! Hi.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: I'm a bassist, we notice bass stuff.
	1:24pm ndbob: hi Melinda!
	1:24pm Dean: Stuck in a cafe with no opportunity for audio, checking in 'cuz I like to. No kidding, I woke up this morning with that Robert Palmer tune in my noggin.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Wow, Dean! No kidding....
	1:28pm melinda: hi Bob!
	1:31pm Dominick: Babbit masterclass www.facebook.com...
	1:32pm listener james from westwood: I do really enjoy sets (or shows!) devoted, as this series of them was, to a performer you've heard all along behind so many hits.
	1:34pm ndbob: never heard this version before - pretty good
	1:35pm listener james from westwood: Likewise and agreed!
	1:35pm Goyim in the AM: dominick -- he's playing an inverted French 6-9 chord there.
	1:35pm Lane Gray: I'm diggin it
	1:36pm Goyim in the AM: Speaking of bassists, James Last had some terrific ones.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: I'll do things like the Babbitt sets again if people really dig 'em.
	1:37pm Lane Gray: Candidate for strangest gig ever: steel guitar for James Last
	1:40pm Lane Gray: Chromaphone, I got my MSA done and gigged it last Saturday. Tone to the bone.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Eddie Noack sounds like Cal Smith
	1:41pm ndbob: pretty strange Lane
	1:42pm ndbob: not as strange as Noack's "Psycho" maybe
	1:47pm glenn: babbitt bearings. my favourite.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: GLENN! Hi.
	1:48pm chromaphone: Nice Lane! I have actually never played a pedal steel. One day... Do they require a lot of maintenance? I played some lap at a gig a couple of weeks ago through my acoustic guitar amp and it actually sounded decent enough.
	1:49pm Dean: "inverted French 6-9 chord"--Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Do the French have their own inverted 6/9 chords? They can be so difficult...
	1:50pm ndbob: Gene's best record!!
	1:50pm glenn: hello. how's she going, by?
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Chandler was listening to much Motown at this point.
	1:52pm glenn: so, can any incompetent moron become a member of the l.a.p.d.? www.tmz.com...
	1:54pm ndbob: @UM Groovy Situation is good - but not my fave
	1:55pm Lane Gray: Oil the pivot places once a year or two. No more than that
	1:57pm chromaphone: Nice LG. Looked at the MSA site. Looks like you got yourself quite an instrument. Awesome.
	1:57pm Lane Gray: James was good. I don't care that there's an element of fromage to him and Larry Welk, there was SOLID musicianship.
	2:03pm melinda: That was a cute version of Wabash Cannonball. I liked it.
	2:04pm Goyim in the AM: Ah, the old "our attorneys say you gotta turn down the vocals in the chorus" mix.
	2:04pm Listening Out There: John Fogerty's song about his manager at the time...
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: A release on Sun Records, Melinda.
	2:05pm Lane Gray: Completely different guitar in the 70s. Mine is a 76. But solid stuff. If I were getting a new guitar, it WOULD be MSA
	2:08pm chromaphone: oh wow. neat. Speaking of Neil Young, I wish he used Ben Keith's steel on his records more. Wow this Neil song sounds pretty friggin good for '88
	2:11pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael!
	2:12pm Alex In Illinois: MSA? Methylseleninic acid? Mycological Society of America? Mine Safety Appliances?
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: GUIDO! Hi.
	2:13pm listener james from westwood: "More 'Starry Eyes' Achieved"
	2:14pm Stevel: Starry Eyes is a nearly perfect song, up there with Another Planet and I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight, in my book, anyways.
	🛒 2:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Agree about Starry Eyes. Much more to my taste than TOAC.
	2:19pm Alex In Illinois: When I was a teen, I checked out an Album by the Records from the local library. It had Starry Eyes" and "Teenarama" on it.
	2:23pm Listening Out There: Guess the Fantasy Records bldg in SF is aka The House that Creedence Built
	2:23pm Goyim in the AM: Oh, the last truly BADASS Queen song.
	🛒 2:24pm Brian in UK: Quick hello, Uncle. Been listening. Starry Eyes, reminds me of an English band around this time called Starry Eyed and Laughing. After the Dylan song. Bit of a Byrds biased band. Seem to recall having the first album.
	2:24pm Stevel: No Sleep Till Canaby Island is worth the $35 bucks or so. You could make three movies out of it, easily. Order it direct from the author (don't have the info handy.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: Burritos' Sin City?
	2:25pm chromaphone: Don't feel like you have to play Have a Cigar UM.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: it's no longer that hard to buy, Steve.
	2:25pm Stevel: Yes, to badass-Queen song. Very satisfying.
	2:26pm Stevel: UM: That's great news. Really cannot recommend that book enough.
	2:27pm Lane Gray: Alex, MSA is Morrell Shields Anderson (all three deceased). Makers of pedal steel guitars
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Hello Lane, tough ride?
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Actually Steve, maybe it is...and I was thinking of Bruce Thomas' book.
	2:28pm Alex In Illinois: THanks Lane. I found the websites, one for the Pedal Steel Guitars, and one for the Super Slide, but could not find a section about their history.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: This Skynyrd song was written to be performed at an industry party. Can you believe that shit?
	2:30pm chromaphone: I guess no one will be writing songs like these anymore since the music recording industry is dead.
	2:31pm Goyim in the AM: I hope Ronnie's grim specter haunts the fakes going around with his band's name.
	2:32pm SeanG: YAAHHH
	2:32pm Stevel: Skynyrd: As punk as the Pistols.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: SEAN! Hi.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: I agree, Steve.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: Did you play Spoon's version of this theme last week?
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: Nowadays they'd have to be about iTunes, Spotify, Google/YouTube, etc.
	2:33pm Stevel: "...until they wished that we had doyied."
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: My dad has started watching HBO's "Vinyl." I haven't seen it but I'm helping by providing him footnotes for the era.
	2:34pm Goyim in the AM: RADIO ON!!
	2:34pm Listening Out There: Van Morrison's contractual obligation album would fit into today's program, sort of...
	2:36pm Lane Gray: It's a smooth ride now, Brian. Bonehead cost me 3.5 hours earlier. Last night's ISIHAC was brilliant. One song to the tune of another: Sometimes When We Touch to Scotland the Brave and Bob the Builder to Girl From Ipanema.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, I layed the b-side last week. "contractual obligation" is its own theme. RADIO ON!
	2:36pm chromaphone: It seems like right when the industry was peaking is when the most complaint songs appeared. I think the amount of money being bickered over now is much less. Hopefully Talyor Swift will write something about it... not.
	2:37pm Goyim in the AM: The Bang Obligation sessions partake of both themes in part, no? Royalty Check, Have a Danish?
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: bread up front you want a sandwich?
	2:40pm Alex In Illinois: I had an idea about a decade or so ago, when I had one of those early large mp3 players made by "Creative" that recorded in mp3 and uncompressed wave file format. My idea was to digitally record concerts for unsigned bands, make mp3's of their songs, and sell their songs for them directly to fans from a web site.
	2:45pm chromaphone: Wow, this bed music is clavinet overload. hilarious.
	2:48pm Listening Out There: "You whistle, I'll say France...You say France, I'll whistle..."
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Never heard this Go Now, love it!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: So glad to have you all aboard today!
	2:54pm chromaphone: Got to listen to the whole thing today. So great, thanks Uncle.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thank you!
	2:55pm Goyim in the AM: Boy, SOMEBODY was listening to the Five Stairsteps before putting this arrangement together...
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: The two songs might share a drummer...it's possible.
	2:58pm chromaphone: I'm not hearing a kick drum at all.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM; glad to be here this afternoon!
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Great show, have a great weekend, all!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: MWAH, thanks, @Uncle!
	3:03pm Goyim in the AM: Thanks UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Bye friends!
	5:24am Stanley: Great show. You did it again UM. Thanks

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 4, 2016

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.

	12:17pm Stanley: Yay! The Great Escape

	12:19pm chromaphone: wow, I have a lag on the stream. I'm still at Doll by Doll
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: What listening source are you using, chromaphone?
	12:21pm chromaphone: iPhone. I just stopped and started again and now am listening to the lush harmonies of Sweet :)
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Can you dig it can you dig it...
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: chromaphon, fmu app? mp3 stream? TuneIn radio?
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Android. Tunein. Good morning, Unca Michael
	12:29pm chromaphone: fmu app. But seems to be in sync now.

	12:32pm Lane Gray: New codriver is a bonehead. "I thought I could make it to the truck stop." And 1150 mile range and he had to use all of it
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: bonehead drove 1150 miles without you spellin'?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: everybody chair dance with me
	12:35pm chromaphone: Is this JJ from Good Times' theme?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I believe it's Jimmy-Walker-inspired.
	12:36pm chromaphone: my 16 month old son is an amazing chair dancer. He is also all about funk music.
	12:36pm mauri: you can beat the young
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: You do time for that, now.
	12:41pm Listener Robert: So after all this time we finally get a picture of the Hinky Dinky Supermarket, or at least what will be deemed such for our purposes.
	12:42pm mauri: just let them hit back and its fine.
	12:42pm Lane Gray: He fueled a hundred miles before I took over yesterday morning. I drove from ten am to 830 pm. He then drove til 8 am without fueling. A whole damn day.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Insane in the brain, Lane. He needs a talkin' to.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: ROBERT! Hi. I could put up a more accurate picure...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Here: www.jimalinder.com...
	12:46pm chromaphone: Well my coworker won't listen to the GTDS stream in the morning so I think I have it worse than you Lane.
	12:47pm Lane Gray: And when the primer pump doesn't work, it takes two cans of ether to prime a Paccar motor. Feeding it enough ether to keep it going til it roars to life...
	12:47pm Mike East: Yet another positive comment on the music today from a coworker walking into the office...continued from Doug's show. Very interesting that each of these coworkers has drastically different tastes...FMU's got something for everyone!
	12:48pm Lane Gray: He listened to Diesel Smoke and Dangerous Curves last night...
	12:48pm Stanley: Wonderful but Friday after work beer calls. Later.
	12:49pm Lane Gray: Well done, Mike
	12:51pm Eric: is this the theme from Webster?
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Babbitt: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: ERIC! Hi.
	12:53pm Eric: Hi Mike yeah it was, but not this version
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Nice to hear, Mike.
	12:56pm Goyim in the AM: Wikipedia doesn't even mention Babbit's pro wrestling career. How can you skip a detail like that???
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Correct the entry, GitAM!
	12:58pm Goyim in the AM: Maybe I will!
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: Rubberman used to be the theme song for a segment on Bronwyn C. 's old show.
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: rubber BAND man that is.
	1:00pm andy the painter: yes. rubber band man!
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: cool...what sort of segment?
	1:00pm Goyim in the AM: There is a hilarious photo in an old issue of Bass Player of Babbit as a pro wrestler -- he looks like a 70s hipster heel.
	1:01pm Jeff Golick: This set = glorious time traveling. Hi.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: JEFF! Hi.
	1:02pm Alex In Illinois: But Wikipedia does mention Hulk Hogan's brief career as a bass player.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: full circle
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: half nelson
	1:03pm Webhamster Henry: Somehow Bronwyn got her hands on a kid's home made adventure of a superhero named Rubbernman. I can't remember if she narrated it or played tapes of it; I might have an aircheck somewhere.
	1:04pm Mike East: that sound that accompanies the snare...or maybe it is a snare...sounds kinda like a woodblock with tons of reverb, no?
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to have to dig into her archives. Racketball, has always been my theory, Mike.
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Great soul set, UM!
	1:07pm Mike East: hahaha!
	1:08pm Listener Robert: I still think the music Irwin's been opening his show with for a good # of yrs. now sounds like Man From UNCLE. It may be that the TV show's theme was ripped off the show tune.
	1:12pm melinda: hi people!
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: TOAC: best record ever made?
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: MELINDA! Hi.
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: Strong contender if not actually king. Hell, even the isolated vocal track of TOAC, which I've heard on FMU now and again, kicks all manner of ass.
	🛒 1:15pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Now I'm curious about what The Wamboo could be.
	1:17pm Alex In Illinois: But does he do the Peanut Duck?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: ALEX! Hi.
	1:18pm chromaphone: No TOAC is not the best record ever made.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Babbitt shines on the Robert Palmer record.
	1:20pm chromaphone: Was just noticing the bass is nice and melodic and loud.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: Was Tears of a Clown put on the disc on the Voyager? Oh wow! I never noticed the bass work on Every Kinda People before!.
	1:20pm Rich in Washington: what a lovely song, the Robert Palmer tune. I had completely forgotten about it. Didn't realize it was Palmer.
	1:21pm Goyim in the AM: You can hear the strength in Babbit's right hand on this Palmer track. Man oh man.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: Y'all have really good ears.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: like alabaster shells, Jeff. RICH! Hi.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: I'm a bassist, we notice bass stuff.
	1:24pm ndbob: hi Melinda!
	1:24pm Dean: Stuck in a cafe with no opportunity for audio, checking in 'cuz I like to. No kidding, I woke up this morning with that Robert Palmer tune in my noggin.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Wow, Dean! No kidding....
	1:28pm melinda: hi Bob!
	1:31pm Dominick: Babbit masterclass www.facebook.com...
	1:32pm listener james from westwood: I do really enjoy sets (or shows!) devoted, as this series of them was, to a performer you've heard all along behind so many hits.
	1:34pm ndbob: never heard this version before - pretty good
	1:35pm listener james from westwood: Likewise and agreed!
	1:35pm Goyim in the AM: dominick -- he's playing an inverted French 6-9 chord there.
	1:35pm Lane Gray: I'm diggin it
	1:36pm Goyim in the AM: Speaking of bassists, James Last had some terrific ones.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: I'll do things like the Babbitt sets again if people really dig 'em.
	1:37pm Lane Gray: Candidate for strangest gig ever: steel guitar for James Last
	1:40pm Lane Gray: Chromaphone, I got my MSA done and gigged it last Saturday. Tone to the bone.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Eddie Noack sounds like Cal Smith
	1:41pm ndbob: pretty strange Lane
	1:42pm ndbob: not as strange as Noack's "Psycho" maybe
	1:47pm glenn: babbitt bearings. my favourite.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: GLENN! Hi.
	1:48pm chromaphone: Nice Lane! I have actually never played a pedal steel. One day... Do they require a lot of maintenance? I played some lap at a gig a couple of weeks ago through my acoustic guitar amp and it actually sounded decent enough.
	1:49pm Dean: "inverted French 6-9 chord"--Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
	1:49pm doctorjazz: Do the French have their own inverted 6/9 chords? They can be so difficult...
	1:50pm ndbob: Gene's best record!!
	1:50pm glenn: hello. how's she going, by?
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Chandler was listening to much Motown at this point.
	1:52pm glenn: so, can any incompetent moron become a member of the l.a.p.d.? www.tmz.com...
	1:54pm ndbob: @UM Groovy Situation is good - but not my fave
	1:55pm Lane Gray: Oil the pivot places once a year or two. No more than that
	1:57pm chromaphone: Nice LG. Looked at the MSA site. Looks like you got yourself quite an instrument. Awesome.
	1:57pm Lane Gray: James was good. I don't care that there's an element of fromage to him and Larry Welk, there was SOLID musicianship.
	2:03pm melinda: That was a cute version of Wabash Cannonball. I liked it.
	2:04pm Goyim in the AM: Ah, the old "our attorneys say you gotta turn down the vocals in the chorus" mix.
	2:04pm Listening Out There: John Fogerty's song about his manager at the time...
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: A release on Sun Records, Melinda.
	2:05pm Lane Gray: Completely different guitar in the 70s. Mine is a 76. But solid stuff. If I were getting a new guitar, it WOULD be MSA
	2:08pm chromaphone: oh wow. neat. Speaking of Neil Young, I wish he used Ben Keith's steel on his records more. Wow this Neil song sounds pretty friggin good for '88
	2:11pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael!
	2:12pm Alex In Illinois: MSA? Methylseleninic acid? Mycological Society of America? Mine Safety Appliances?
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: GUIDO! Hi.
	2:13pm listener james from westwood: "More 'Starry Eyes' Achieved"
	2:14pm Stevel: Starry Eyes is a nearly perfect song, up there with Another Planet and I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight, in my book, anyways.
	🛒 2:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Agree about Starry Eyes. Much more to my taste than TOAC.
	2:19pm Alex In Illinois: When I was a teen, I checked out an Album by the Records from the local library. It had Starry Eyes" and "Teenarama" on it.
	2:23pm Listening Out There: Guess the Fantasy Records bldg in SF is aka The House that Creedence Built
	2:23pm Goyim in the AM: Oh, the last truly BADASS Queen song.
	🛒 2:24pm Brian in UK: Quick hello, Uncle. Been listening. Starry Eyes, reminds me of an English band around this time called Starry Eyed and Laughing. After the Dylan song. Bit of a Byrds biased band. Seem to recall having the first album.
	2:24pm Stevel: No Sleep Till Canaby Island is worth the $35 bucks or so. You could make three movies out of it, easily. Order it direct from the author (don't have the info handy.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: Burritos' Sin City?
	2:25pm chromaphone: Don't feel like you have to play Have a Cigar UM.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: it's no longer that hard to buy, Steve.
	2:25pm Stevel: Yes, to badass-Queen song. Very satisfying.
	2:26pm Stevel: UM: That's great news. Really cannot recommend that book enough.
	2:27pm Lane Gray: Alex, MSA is Morrell Shields Anderson (all three deceased). Makers of pedal steel guitars
	🛒 2:28pm Brian in UK: Hello Lane, tough ride?
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Actually Steve, maybe it is...and I was thinking of Bruce Thomas' book.
	2:28pm Alex In Illinois: THanks Lane. I found the websites, one for the Pedal Steel Guitars, and one for the Super Slide, but could not find a section about their history.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: This Skynyrd song was written to be performed at an industry party. Can you believe that shit?
	2:30pm chromaphone: I guess no one will be writing songs like these anymore since the music recording industry is dead.
	2:31pm Goyim in the AM: I hope Ronnie's grim specter haunts the fakes going around with his band's name.
	2:32pm SeanG: YAAHHH
	2:32pm Stevel: Skynyrd: As punk as the Pistols.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: SEAN! Hi.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: I agree, Steve.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: Did you play Spoon's version of this theme last week?
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: Nowadays they'd have to be about iTunes, Spotify, Google/YouTube, etc.
	2:33pm Stevel: "...until they wished that we had doyied."
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: My dad has started watching HBO's "Vinyl." I haven't seen it but I'm helping by providing him footnotes for the era.
	2:34pm Goyim in the AM: RADIO ON!!
	2:34pm Listening Out There: Van Morrison's contractual obligation album would fit into today's program, sort of...
	2:36pm Lane Gray: It's a smooth ride now, Brian. Bonehead cost me 3.5 hours earlier. Last night's ISIHAC was brilliant. One song to the tune of another: Sometimes When We Touch to Scotland the Brave and Bob the Builder to Girl From Ipanema.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, I layed the b-side last week. "contractual obligation" is its own theme. RADIO ON!
	2:36pm chromaphone: It seems like right when the industry was peaking is when the most complaint songs appeared. I think the amount of money being bickered over now is much less. Hopefully Talyor Swift will write something about it... not.
	2:37pm Goyim in the AM: The Bang Obligation sessions partake of both themes in part, no? Royalty Check, Have a Danish?
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: bread up front you want a sandwich?
	2:40pm Alex In Illinois: I had an idea about a decade or so ago, when I had one of those early large mp3 players made by "Creative" that recorded in mp3 and uncompressed wave file format. My idea was to digitally record concerts for unsigned bands, make mp3's of their songs, and sell their songs for them directly to fans from a web site.
	2:45pm chromaphone: Wow, this bed music is clavinet overload. hilarious.
	2:48pm Listening Out There: "You whistle, I'll say France...You say France, I'll whistle..."
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Never heard this Go Now, love it!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: So glad to have you all aboard today!
	2:54pm chromaphone: Got to listen to the whole thing today. So great, thanks Uncle.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thank you!
	2:55pm Goyim in the AM: Boy, SOMEBODY was listening to the Five Stairsteps before putting this arrangement together...
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: The two songs might share a drummer...it's possible.
	2:58pm chromaphone: I'm not hearing a kick drum at all.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM; glad to be here this afternoon!
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Great show, have a great weekend, all!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: MWAH, thanks, @Uncle!
	3:03pm Goyim in the AM: Thanks UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Bye friends!
	5:24am Stanley: Great show. You did it again UM. Thanks
