	3:12pm βrian: "Let the eagle soar ..."
	3:12pm P-90: Edgar topped the charts at #1 in May 1973, would have stuck there for at least a few more weeks if not dislodged by Sir Macca and Wings' insipid "My Love", which held the #1 spot for an entire month

	3:33pm Cheyenne: @joe yep, above that is the pledge-o-meter reading 42%! We're closing in on the halfway point!!!
	3:34pm P-90: "Williams Comes Alive!" Do you feel like we do? Then pledge now!
	3:34pm Gaylord Fields: Scott, Sheila AND a talkbox? I'm transfixed!
	3:41pm Listener 108581: MAN. This is a killer cover!
	3:44pm Scott Williams: it sure is, Listener 108581 - and it's our 1st prize of the day
	3:45pm Lyle: Xavier Cougat loved having his hair done. I know, because I played 2nd bone for him in his orchestra for a brief time in '59. We actually lost several gigs because X (as we called him) would be backstage berating his hairdresser (Alfonse) because he thought his bangs were too short, or his Dippity-Do wasn't the mentholated kind. Alfonse did his best to please X, but it never seemed to work. I remember we did Jack Parr one night and X did the show in curlers with enough Dippity-Do involved that his head started to smoke from the intense television lighting. A stage hand actually sprayed X with a fire extinguisher as a precautionary measure and the crowd ate it up! After that incident, X repeated the stunt many times until his doctor told him that the fire retardant chemicals were causing him to go prematurely bald. This was around the time he started seeing Charro, and he wanted to look his best. Interestingly, a young Arthur Brown (who was traveling with us as a euphonist) appeared years later with his "Crazy World" band, sporting some flaming headgear which must have been inspired by Xavier Cougat. It's all connected, Scott. All of it. Rock n roll, big bands, hippity-hop. All of it.
	3:46pm djsheilab: BIG thanks to all those calling in + pledging online. We need more of you to help keep WFMU alive and kicking! C'mon and pledge you fine fine listeners you!!! 1-800-989-9368
	3:46pm P-90: Pledge now to fund new headphones for Scott!
	3:47pm go2kay: Is it possible to distribute parts of an ongoing swag for life mouse of today pledge to different shows? How do you do this online? Anyone know?
	3:47pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields It's quite something ain't it?! ; )
	3:48pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, maybe Scott will get his guitar to read one of your stories if you pledge enough to his show...
	3:49pm Ralphine: I read not too long ago that the organ bit at the end of Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime was based on the organ bit in What Goes On.
	3:49pm Joe McG: @go2kay: Sure, you can. Just be sure to send you pledge as unpaid if you are already in S4L: "Bill me later."
	3:50pm Wilson K: I think the guitar would have an easier time if people with names like "Deeer-na-neeeer" and "Twang" would start calling.
	3:51pm Listener 108581: @Wilson: cracking me up "Deeer-na-neeer"
	3:51pm JP: My favorite VU album! Please, please, PLEASE play The Murder Mystery!
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: And how! Perhaps it will inspire you to pick up your guitar again.
	3:54pm go2kay: @Joe McG: do I choose "One Time" instead of Swag for life on the Online form? Otherwise I don't want them to think it is $75 month instead of part of $30.42/mo
	3:55pm Lyle: I would pledge if it was Andy Williams. As it is, I have only known young Scott for 10 years. I do admire his bandleading skills. If he were to need a 4th bone for the Mouth and Hoof I might be available. I am going on the road with John Parr soon. He's doing a golf-related, big band album ... Parr for the Course.
	3:56pm Cliff: Ba-dum-tissshhhh
	4:00pm geezerette: HaHaHa:c)
	4:01pm Joe McG: @go2kay: Yes, that's what you want to do!
	4:01pm P-90: Stick THAT in your Cougat!
	4:06pm Greg from ZONE 5: Pre-clicked! I know me so well.
	4:06pm djsheilab: If you dig this beautiful Brazilian treasure Scott's playing, pledge to get in the running! 18009899368!
	🧩 4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember to enjoy March 14, 2016 (3.1416). Pi Day! For a pledge of $314.16, maybe Scott's guitar will convert degrees to radians.
	4:10pm Cliff: How many degrees (or radians) of pie is it appropriate to eat on Pi Day?
	4:11pm djsheilab: DONNAS!!!!!!! I hear Joe Belock getting excited in the background!
	4:12pm Cliff: LOVE The Donnas <3
	4:15pm joe: This is a favorite of mine.
	4:18pm joe: Jesus am I having flashbacks to Saturday? I guess that stuff was stronger than I thought.
	4:18pm JP: Isn't "inmates running the asylum" somewhere in the WFMU mission statement? Because it really should be...
	4:19pm djsheilab: @JP Thank you for the best comment of the day!
	4:19pm Cecile: La droga es fuerte, Joe.
	4:21pm riff randell: I should have waited to pledge specifically because I love this record and just found it last week!!!
	4:21pm Wild Neil: @Cecile-did you mention something about King Crimson earlier or was that something else? Greetings ALL! PEace be unto you all!
	4:22pm Cecile: Yes, Jim gave away that awesome Live at the Marquee 70's live disc. It was a great prize.
	4:24pm Cecile: the guys from the Jersey Shore show rode their jet skis to help stranded people during Hurricane Irene.
	4:29pm Cliff: I think Sparky the Guitar needs his own WFMU show
	4:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: Scott got this guitar and learned how to make it talk. LITERALLY.
	4:33pm Listener 108581: SHIT! That's it, never listening to FMU ever again. Goodbye for ever...
	4:33pm Listener 108581: [just kidding] [loveyouguys]
	4:34pm Wild Neil: @Scott-did you say "Floorian"? They are super heavy and friends with Brian Jonestown Massacre I think....
	4:36pm Listener 108581: oh.
	4:36pm Listener 108581: my.
	4:36pm Listener 108581: god.
	4:36pm Cecile: Is Tonto's Expanding Headband on this?
	4:36pm Listener 108581: this is freaking hilarious!
	4:37pm Carmichael: I feel the same way Lebowski does about the Eagles.
	4:37pm Listener 108581: @Carm: that's what I was thinking, but don't let Scott know..
	4:40pm djsheilab: Pledge some $$ for WFMU and get in the running for two prizes we have up at the moment--The Dream Syndicate's "The Days of Wine and Roses" CD and Organisation's "Tone Float" CD. 1-800-989-9368.
	4:43pm geezerette: Crazy hippies! Run!
	4:43pm Lyle: I recall a short stint playing saxophone for Donna Reed in the early 60's. It was the only time I played sax in a band. The reason for this is that Donna only had reed instruments in the band. It was a gimmick. Sixteen saxophones (including one played by a young William Clinton!), four oboes, three clarinets, and one english horn. While Donna was loved, the band was not, nor was the spin-off LP, Learning To Reed. We had fun, though. Donna was a good sport. I'll never forget the night she released a live muskrat in Toots Theilman's motel room.
	4:44pm djsheilab: We're at 54% of Scott's goal. Help us make it to 100%!! Thank you to all who've so generously pledged so far!
	4:45pm JP: Let's all take a moment and appreciate what an awesome transition that just was...
	🧩 4:48pm Mick: @JP Truth
	4:48pm Bas NL: Can!!
	4:50pm Cecile: Scott has a Can do attitude.
	4:50pm Lewis: I used to eat lunch essentially daily in a Mitch's Tavern across the street from NCSU. They had a Toots Theilman tape - it was the one thing about Mitch's I really didn't like. Mitch was a bitty creepy as well I suppose...
	🧩 4:54pm chris: if you Can, do pledge!
	4:55pm Lyle: I knew Mitch's dad, Lewis. His name was Skitch. You knew him better as ... Skitch Henderson. It's all connected, baby. Every bit of it. This Can is swinging Scotty! Drummer's got that hop-head feel like Krupa had.
	4:55pm Cliff: I already Could, so I Did
	🧩 4:56pm chris: pledge for more stories from "Lyle"!
	4:57pm tomasz.: Ralphine @ 3:49 - that's a great little fact, never would have connected those
	4:57pm Lewis: @Lyle - very small indeed! I suppose that could explain the Toots tape as well. sooo cool And I didn't know that about Mitch. He was ok really. Gave a number of my good friends good jobs...
	4:59pm Cliff: I figured out it was all connected by taking La Droga while listening to WFMU
	5:00pm tomasz.: Bas is the hero we need and deserve
	5:01pm Bas NL: Hahahahahaaaaaa!
	5:01pm Cecile: Someone get Belock to sing, stat!
	5:02pm Bas NL: ;D
	5:02pm Cliff: Congrats Bas!
	5:04pm Cecile: sentimental?
	5:04pm Lyle: Y3K. Ironic. That was a planned-but-abandoned triple album set from the Stan Kenton Band. Aborted when Kenton realized he only had an EP's worth of material as the recording dates drew near. At the time, Capitol Records execs asked him point blank, "why three, K?" Those close to him called him, K. I never got any closer than Mr. Kenton, and I whispered it to avoid his chronic wrath. OK, that's it for me. Pledge for Scott. He's young, he's hungry. He's on the way up. This Sheila is good, too. She reminds me a lot of Pat Suzuki. The voice,
	5:08pm djsheilab: That's right @Lyle. Scott is young, Scott is hungry and he needs your cash love to get him to 100%!!! 1-800-989-9368
	5:09pm tomasz.: whoo check me out, i'm actually logged in to my profile for once
	5:10pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Young & Hungry.
	5:10pm djsheilab: 62%!!!! 50 minutes left of the show. We can do it!!!
	🧩 5:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: @djsheilab - Cash? Oh, crud. I just sent cashews to the station this morning. I hope they'll be put to good use anyway.
	5:11pm JP from KC: Figured I should finally register so I don't have to keep doing math to comment. Also because I've been on here for the past week, and this may be the only comment thread on the internet where nobody's calling anyone a fag or butchering english grammar in every comment. I think we can all be proud of that.
	5:11pm Cecile: best arrangements, worst lyrics
	5:12pm tomasz.: Ken, thanks for that, tasty as heck
	5:14pm djsheilab: The phone volunteers are eating tangerines! We must put a stop to this madness! They need your phone calls! Pledges! Love! 1-800-989-9368.
	5:16pm djsheilab: If you can't get enough of Scott Williams, pledge away! We're at 67%!
	5:17pm Carmichael: I think Lyle should have is own show on FMU.
	5:17pm kevlicki: Hi Scott Williams!
	5:18pm Scott Williams: Hi Kevlicki!
	5:19pm Carmichael: @JP: This is one of the nicest online communities ever. People should be plunkin' down coin for that reason alone.
	5:21pm JP from KC: Totally agree, Carm. To think that all those people who post such terrible things on other comment threads think WE'RE the crazy ones for listening to this "weird" music. I feel so at home here. I never want to leave.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& SW plays bitchen left-handed gittar upside-down. The dood is outrageous...
	5:24pm Lyle: I spoke with Kenneth about that, Carmichael (I believe I will call you Hoagie from now on). Kenneth felt that while big band music is quite possibly the greatest music there is, that today's young listeners are more enamored with popular acts like Bruno Kirby (Derwood's great-nephew) and The Arctic Monkees. The names of all these combos are difficult for me to keep track of. I do enjoy Joshua Groban.
	5:25pm Cliff: I think the comment boards are great too, and especially this year they've helped me keep from going stir-crazy while I've been unemployed. Thanks fellow commenters!
	5:26pm Listener 108581: AND SW strums upside down which blows my feeble mind.
	🧩 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've noticed that trolls don't last long here, in their rare appearances.
	5:28pm steve: Haha nice
	5:29pm Cecile: Lewis!
	5:30pm JP from KC: Whenever I read Lyle's posts, I imagine him saying these things from a corner booth in a smoke-filled jazz club as he sips a glass of fine scotch.
	5:31pm cory: cool, thanks guys!
	5:31pm Carmichael: And he's smoking an unfiltered cigarette, while sitting next to a dame.
	5:31pm geezerette: Total agreement with everyone about comment boards. Great people! Everyone's passionate about music and funny as well. Cheers !
	5:32pm Cecile: Scott, have you ever put Scrawl's Public Image on one of your Cover Girls discs?
	5:34pm Cliff: Based on his stories, we've estimated Lyle's age to be around 90. I'll bet he still gets plenty of dames though.
	5:35pm tomasz.: Lyle is dropping serious knowledge on us today. a gentleman and a scholar of jazz
	5:36pm JP from KC: That just fills out the image. Now I'm imagining him in a thick turtleneck sweater and a newsboy cap...
	5:36pm geezerette: Bet Lyle looks like Harry Dean Stanton.
	5:36pm JP from KC: Either that or tweed... lots and lots of tweed.
	5:37pm djsheilab: The comments board really keeps us DJs upbeat. And I always appreciate all the listeners chiming in with facts and corrections and stories. Lucky to have this space!
	5:38pm JP from KC: Are we sure he isn't Harry Dean Stanton? I mean, has anyone seen them in the same place at the same time?
	5:38pm V Priceless: love that John Cale
	5:38pm sweeks: @djsheilab You're like pure joy on the radio
	5:38pm Cliff: That's just what I was gonna say, JP from KC!
	5:39pm geezerette: No,because "they" always sit in darkened corners, listening.
	5:39pm djsheilab: I'm having fun! @sweeks
	5:40pm tomasz.: Yo La Tengo are a true treasure. i'm so happy they exist
	5:40pm Cliff: Sheila B., you've been keeping me and a whole lot of other listeners upbeat with your show on Fridays! :D
	5:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: I will never ever tire of this song ever ever.
	5:41pm Scott Williams: what you said Greg, they just keep getting better and better
	5:42pm geezerette: Everyone loves you Sheila B.!
	5:42pm djsheilab: Thanks @Cliff! We're at 75%!! Close, very very close.
	5:42pm Cecile: I like them okay for not having double bass drums or bagpipes.
	5:43pm JP from KC: Yo Scott! Are we going to get one more track from the third VU before you give it away?
	5:43pm Lyle: Harry Dean. Ha! Funny you mention him. He emptied spit valves for us in the late 50's. This was when I was with Del Torme, Mel's half-brother. Del had a nice 22-piece orchestra, bus, connections, etc. Just one problem. He could not sing his way out of a wet paper bag. In fact, one night as a gimmick, we put him in a large wet paper bag onstage and he acted as though he could not sing his way out of it. He had a GREAT sense of humor. As far as Harry Dean, no one empties spit valves for very long without either changing jobs or moving up the ladder. Harry wet Del's bag for a while, but that gimmick wore off. One day he was just gone. They come and they go in jazz. They come and they go.
	5:44pm geezerette: Lyle,I'll have what you're having!
	5:46pm JP from KC: Seriously, Lyle. I just want to spend an evening on someone's deck, smoking, drinking and listening to you tell your stories.
	5:49pm kevlicki: Thank YOU Scott and everyone at WFMU
	5:50pm Dave B: Hey Scott - I goofed... But take the 75 I put to you're show, just skip the comment intended for Vertigo. I'll donate a fresh one over there!
	5:52pm kevlicki: Did you really just give me a robin gibb album? Hahaha!
	5:55pm Cheyenne: aaaaaa so close!!!!
	5:55pm Scott Williams: AAAAaaaahhhhhh!!!! so close, c'mon yeah!!
	5:59pm Mdurek: sweeeeeet
	5:59pm Stanley: Yay!!!
	6:00pm Cliff: Thank you too Sheila and Scott! :D
	6:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Scott and Sheila and phone people!
	6:00pm cory: thanks for the awesome show!
	🧩 6:00pm chris: thank you guys! great fun!
	6:01pm SeanG: it's a party!
	6:06pm Lyle: Good job, Scott and Sheila. Keep swingin'!

	3:34pm Gaylord Fields: Scott, Sheila AND a talkbox? I'm transfixed!
	3:41pm Listener 108581: MAN. This is a killer cover!
	3:44pm Scott Williams: it sure is, Listener 108581 - and it's our 1st prize of the day
	3:45pm Lyle: Xavier Cougat loved having his hair done. I know, because I played 2nd bone for him in his orchestra for a brief time in '59. We actually lost several gigs because X (as we called him) would be backstage berating his hairdresser (Alfonse) because he thought his bangs were too short, or his Dippity-Do wasn't the mentholated kind. Alfonse did his best to please X, but it never seemed to work. I remember we did Jack Parr one night and X did the show in curlers with enough Dippity-Do involved that his head started to smoke from the intense television lighting. A stage hand actually sprayed X with a fire extinguisher as a precautionary measure and the crowd ate it up! After that incident, X repeated the stunt many times until his doctor told him that the fire retardant chemicals were causing him to go prematurely bald. This was around the time he started seeing Charro, and he wanted to look his best. Interestingly, a young Arthur Brown (who was traveling with us as a euphonist) appeared years later with his "Crazy World" band, sporting some flaming headgear which must have been inspired by Xavier Cougat. It's all connected, Scott. All of it. Rock n roll, big bands, hippity-hop. All of it.
	3:46pm djsheilab: BIG thanks to all those calling in + pledging online. We need more of you to help keep WFMU alive and kicking! C'mon and pledge you fine fine listeners you!!! 1-800-989-9368
	3:46pm P-90: Pledge now to fund new headphones for Scott!
	3:47pm go2kay: Is it possible to distribute parts of an ongoing swag for life mouse of today pledge to different shows? How do you do this online? Anyone know?
	3:47pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields It's quite something ain't it?! ; )
	3:48pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, maybe Scott will get his guitar to read one of your stories if you pledge enough to his show...
	3:49pm Ralphine: I read not too long ago that the organ bit at the end of Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime was based on the organ bit in What Goes On.
	3:49pm Joe McG: @go2kay: Sure, you can. Just be sure to send you pledge as unpaid if you are already in S4L: "Bill me later."
	3:50pm Wilson K: I think the guitar would have an easier time if people with names like "Deeer-na-neeeer" and "Twang" would start calling.
	3:51pm Listener 108581: @Wilson: cracking me up "Deeer-na-neeer"
	3:51pm JP: My favorite VU album! Please, please, PLEASE play The Murder Mystery!
	3:51pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: And how! Perhaps it will inspire you to pick up your guitar again.
	3:54pm go2kay: @Joe McG: do I choose "One Time" instead of Swag for life on the Online form? Otherwise I don't want them to think it is $75 month instead of part of $30.42/mo
	3:55pm Lyle: I would pledge if it was Andy Williams. As it is, I have only known young Scott for 10 years. I do admire his bandleading skills. If he were to need a 4th bone for the Mouth and Hoof I might be available. I am going on the road with John Parr soon. He's doing a golf-related, big band album ... Parr for the Course.
	3:56pm Cliff: Ba-dum-tissshhhh
	4:00pm geezerette: HaHaHa:c)
	4:01pm Joe McG: @go2kay: Yes, that's what you want to do!
	4:01pm P-90: Stick THAT in your Cougat!
	4:06pm Greg from ZONE 5: Pre-clicked! I know me so well.
	4:06pm djsheilab: If you dig this beautiful Brazilian treasure Scott's playing, pledge to get in the running! 18009899368!
	🧩 4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember to enjoy March 14, 2016 (3.1416). Pi Day! For a pledge of $314.16, maybe Scott's guitar will convert degrees to radians.
	4:10pm Cliff: How many degrees (or radians) of pie is it appropriate to eat on Pi Day?
	4:11pm djsheilab: DONNAS!!!!!!! I hear Joe Belock getting excited in the background!
	4:12pm Cliff: LOVE The Donnas <3
	4:15pm joe: This is a favorite of mine.
	4:18pm joe: Jesus am I having flashbacks to Saturday? I guess that stuff was stronger than I thought.
	4:18pm JP: Isn't "inmates running the asylum" somewhere in the WFMU mission statement? Because it really should be...
	4:19pm djsheilab: @JP Thank you for the best comment of the day!
	4:19pm Cecile: La droga es fuerte, Joe.
	4:21pm riff randell: I should have waited to pledge specifically because I love this record and just found it last week!!!
	4:21pm Wild Neil: @Cecile-did you mention something about King Crimson earlier or was that something else? Greetings ALL! PEace be unto you all!
	4:22pm Cecile: Yes, Jim gave away that awesome Live at the Marquee 70's live disc. It was a great prize.
	4:24pm Cecile: the guys from the Jersey Shore show rode their jet skis to help stranded people during Hurricane Irene.
	4:29pm Cliff: I think Sparky the Guitar needs his own WFMU show
	4:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: Scott got this guitar and learned how to make it talk. LITERALLY.
	4:33pm Listener 108581: SHIT! That's it, never listening to FMU ever again. Goodbye for ever...
	4:33pm Listener 108581: [just kidding] [loveyouguys]
	4:34pm Wild Neil: @Scott-did you say "Floorian"? They are super heavy and friends with Brian Jonestown Massacre I think....
	4:36pm Listener 108581: oh.
	4:36pm Listener 108581: my.
	4:36pm Listener 108581: god.
	4:36pm Cecile: Is Tonto's Expanding Headband on this?
	4:36pm Listener 108581: this is freaking hilarious!
	4:37pm Carmichael: I feel the same way Lebowski does about the Eagles.
	4:37pm Listener 108581: @Carm: that's what I was thinking, but don't let Scott know..
	4:40pm djsheilab: Pledge some $$ for WFMU and get in the running for two prizes we have up at the moment--The Dream Syndicate's "The Days of Wine and Roses" CD and Organisation's "Tone Float" CD. 1-800-989-9368.
	4:43pm geezerette: Crazy hippies! Run!
	4:43pm Lyle: I recall a short stint playing saxophone for Donna Reed in the early 60's. It was the only time I played sax in a band. The reason for this is that Donna only had reed instruments in the band. It was a gimmick. Sixteen saxophones (including one played by a young William Clinton!), four oboes, three clarinets, and one english horn. While Donna was loved, the band was not, nor was the spin-off LP, Learning To Reed. We had fun, though. Donna was a good sport. I'll never forget the night she released a live muskrat in Toots Theilman's motel room.
	4:44pm djsheilab: We're at 54% of Scott's goal. Help us make it to 100%!! Thank you to all who've so generously pledged so far!
	4:45pm JP: Let's all take a moment and appreciate what an awesome transition that just was...
	🧩 4:48pm Mick: @JP Truth
	4:48pm Bas NL: Can!!
	4:50pm Cecile: Scott has a Can do attitude.
	4:50pm Lewis: I used to eat lunch essentially daily in a Mitch's Tavern across the street from NCSU. They had a Toots Theilman tape - it was the one thing about Mitch's I really didn't like. Mitch was a bitty creepy as well I suppose...
	🧩 4:54pm chris: if you Can, do pledge!
	4:55pm Lyle: I knew Mitch's dad, Lewis. His name was Skitch. You knew him better as ... Skitch Henderson. It's all connected, baby. Every bit of it. This Can is swinging Scotty! Drummer's got that hop-head feel like Krupa had.
	4:55pm Cliff: I already Could, so I Did
	🧩 4:56pm chris: pledge for more stories from "Lyle"!
	4:57pm tomasz.: Ralphine @ 3:49 - that's a great little fact, never would have connected those
	4:57pm Lewis: @Lyle - very small indeed! I suppose that could explain the Toots tape as well. sooo cool And I didn't know that about Mitch. He was ok really. Gave a number of my good friends good jobs...
	4:59pm Cliff: I figured out it was all connected by taking La Droga while listening to WFMU
	5:00pm tomasz.: Bas is the hero we need and deserve
	5:01pm Bas NL: Hahahahahaaaaaa!
	5:01pm Cecile: Someone get Belock to sing, stat!
	5:02pm Bas NL: ;D
	5:02pm Cliff: Congrats Bas!
	5:04pm Cecile: sentimental?
	5:04pm Lyle: Y3K. Ironic. That was a planned-but-abandoned triple album set from the Stan Kenton Band. Aborted when Kenton realized he only had an EP's worth of material as the recording dates drew near. At the time, Capitol Records execs asked him point blank, "why three, K?" Those close to him called him, K. I never got any closer than Mr. Kenton, and I whispered it to avoid his chronic wrath. OK, that's it for me. Pledge for Scott. He's young, he's hungry. He's on the way up. This Sheila is good, too. She reminds me a lot of Pat Suzuki. The voice,
	5:08pm djsheilab: That's right @Lyle. Scott is young, Scott is hungry and he needs your cash love to get him to 100%!!! 1-800-989-9368
	5:09pm tomasz.: whoo check me out, i'm actually logged in to my profile for once
	5:10pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Young & Hungry.
	5:10pm djsheilab: 62%!!!! 50 minutes left of the show. We can do it!!!
	🧩 5:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: @djsheilab - Cash? Oh, crud. I just sent cashews to the station this morning. I hope they'll be put to good use anyway.
	5:11pm JP from KC: Figured I should finally register so I don't have to keep doing math to comment. Also because I've been on here for the past week, and this may be the only comment thread on the internet where nobody's calling anyone a fag or butchering english grammar in every comment. I think we can all be proud of that.
	5:11pm Cecile: best arrangements, worst lyrics
	5:12pm tomasz.: Ken, thanks for that, tasty as heck
	5:14pm djsheilab: The phone volunteers are eating tangerines! We must put a stop to this madness! They need your phone calls! Pledges! Love! 1-800-989-9368.
	5:16pm djsheilab: If you can't get enough of Scott Williams, pledge away! We're at 67%!
	5:17pm Carmichael: I think Lyle should have is own show on FMU.
	5:17pm kevlicki: Hi Scott Williams!
	5:18pm Scott Williams: Hi Kevlicki!
	5:19pm Carmichael: @JP: This is one of the nicest online communities ever. People should be plunkin' down coin for that reason alone.
	5:21pm JP from KC: Totally agree, Carm. To think that all those people who post such terrible things on other comment threads think WE'RE the crazy ones for listening to this "weird" music. I feel so at home here. I never want to leave.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& SW plays bitchen left-handed gittar upside-down. The dood is outrageous...
	5:24pm Lyle: I spoke with Kenneth about that, Carmichael (I believe I will call you Hoagie from now on). Kenneth felt that while big band music is quite possibly the greatest music there is, that today's young listeners are more enamored with popular acts like Bruno Kirby (Derwood's great-nephew) and The Arctic Monkees. The names of all these combos are difficult for me to keep track of. I do enjoy Joshua Groban.
	5:25pm Cliff: I think the comment boards are great too, and especially this year they've helped me keep from going stir-crazy while I've been unemployed. Thanks fellow commenters!
	5:26pm Listener 108581: AND SW strums upside down which blows my feeble mind.
	🧩 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've noticed that trolls don't last long here, in their rare appearances.
	5:28pm steve: Haha nice
	5:29pm Cecile: Lewis!
	5:30pm JP from KC: Whenever I read Lyle's posts, I imagine him saying these things from a corner booth in a smoke-filled jazz club as he sips a glass of fine scotch.
	5:31pm cory: cool, thanks guys!
	5:31pm Carmichael: And he's smoking an unfiltered cigarette, while sitting next to a dame.
	5:31pm geezerette: Total agreement with everyone about comment boards. Great people! Everyone's passionate about music and funny as well. Cheers !
	5:32pm Cecile: Scott, have you ever put Scrawl's Public Image on one of your Cover Girls discs?
	5:34pm Cliff: Based on his stories, we've estimated Lyle's age to be around 90. I'll bet he still gets plenty of dames though.
	5:35pm tomasz.: Lyle is dropping serious knowledge on us today. a gentleman and a scholar of jazz
	5:36pm JP from KC: That just fills out the image. Now I'm imagining him in a thick turtleneck sweater and a newsboy cap...
	5:36pm geezerette: Bet Lyle looks like Harry Dean Stanton.
	5:36pm JP from KC: Either that or tweed... lots and lots of tweed.
	5:37pm djsheilab: The comments board really keeps us DJs upbeat. And I always appreciate all the listeners chiming in with facts and corrections and stories. Lucky to have this space!
	5:38pm JP from KC: Are we sure he isn't Harry Dean Stanton? I mean, has anyone seen them in the same place at the same time?
	5:38pm V Priceless: love that John Cale
	5:38pm sweeks: @djsheilab You're like pure joy on the radio
	5:38pm Cliff: That's just what I was gonna say, JP from KC!
	5:39pm geezerette: No,because "they" always sit in darkened corners, listening.
	5:39pm djsheilab: I'm having fun! @sweeks
	5:40pm tomasz.: Yo La Tengo are a true treasure. i'm so happy they exist
	5:40pm Cliff: Sheila B., you've been keeping me and a whole lot of other listeners upbeat with your show on Fridays! :D
	5:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: I will never ever tire of this song ever ever.
	5:41pm Scott Williams: what you said Greg, they just keep getting better and better
	5:42pm geezerette: Everyone loves you Sheila B.!
	5:42pm djsheilab: Thanks @Cliff! We're at 75%!! Close, very very close.
	5:42pm Cecile: I like them okay for not having double bass drums or bagpipes.
	5:43pm JP from KC: Yo Scott! Are we going to get one more track from the third VU before you give it away?
	5:43pm Lyle: Harry Dean. Ha! Funny you mention him. He emptied spit valves for us in the late 50's. This was when I was with Del Torme, Mel's half-brother. Del had a nice 22-piece orchestra, bus, connections, etc. Just one problem. He could not sing his way out of a wet paper bag. In fact, one night as a gimmick, we put him in a large wet paper bag onstage and he acted as though he could not sing his way out of it. He had a GREAT sense of humor. As far as Harry Dean, no one empties spit valves for very long without either changing jobs or moving up the ladder. Harry wet Del's bag for a while, but that gimmick wore off. One day he was just gone. They come and they go in jazz. They come and they go.
	5:44pm geezerette: Lyle,I'll have what you're having!
	5:46pm JP from KC: Seriously, Lyle. I just want to spend an evening on someone's deck, smoking, drinking and listening to you tell your stories.
	5:49pm kevlicki: Thank YOU Scott and everyone at WFMU
	5:50pm Dave B: Hey Scott - I goofed... But take the 75 I put to you're show, just skip the comment intended for Vertigo. I'll donate a fresh one over there!
	5:52pm kevlicki: Did you really just give me a robin gibb album? Hahaha!
	5:55pm Cheyenne: aaaaaa so close!!!!
	5:55pm Scott Williams: AAAAaaaahhhhhh!!!! so close, c'mon yeah!!
	5:59pm Mdurek: sweeeeeet
	5:59pm Stanley: Yay!!!
	6:00pm Cliff: Thank you too Sheila and Scott! :D
	6:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Scott and Sheila and phone people!
	6:00pm cory: thanks for the awesome show!
	🧩 6:00pm chris: thank you guys! great fun!
	6:01pm SeanG: it's a party!
	6:06pm Lyle: Good job, Scott and Sheila. Keep swingin'!
