	12:02pm Jesse K: Howdy Uncle Michael!
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm Uncle Michael: James! Jesse! Am I on?
	12:03pm doctorjazz: That's right, UM has the manual GIFs. Very busy, fun.
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Croon, Uncle, croon!
	12:05pm Jeff Golick: Not 100% sure I'm ready...
	12:05pm Lizardner Dave: Possibly the first time this track has been played on WFMU?
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Bob! Doc! Doug! Jeff!
	12:05pm Dean: A friend of mine has a brother whose name is Tarkus.
	12:06pm Lizardner Dave: (Or an alternate stream thereof)?
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:06pm Parq: "Fog me, Eddie"?
	12:06pm Parq: BTW, Doug, that Prince version of "Case" was the best Joni cover I've ever heard.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Parq!
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: I always look askance at those who dis this Tom Jones/AoN cover. He sings the HELL out of this fucking song. I admire earnest embraces across genres.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:09pm chromaphone: Parq - Check out That Song about the Midway by Bonnie Raitt
	12:10pm mauri: howdy uncle michael!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: chromaphone! Bonnie's "too long at the fair" is her best record, imho Mauri!
	12:11pm coelacanth: hello again Uncle; and nieces, nephews
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: coelacanth!
	12:16pm Parq: Chromophone, that one's up there, but Dave Van Ronk's version of the same song is better.
	12:16pm melinda: hi y'all
	12:16pm annie: i'm here, but i'm on the other tab
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Melinda! Annie!
	12:17pm chromaphone: Wow Parq, I will check it out
	12:19pm ndbob: HI Melinda and Annie!
	12:23pm chromaphone: UM I seem to like her first album the best, but I just pulled up Give it Up in Spotify and look forward to listening again. The glossy production on most of her stuff kind of turns me off.
	12:27pm melinda: Enoch Light did some really zazzy covers.
	12:28pm Doug Schulkind: He walked four, Michael. Not THAT great.
	12:28pm 67tele: good morning all
	12:29pm Parq: I was up late last night too. It had nothing to do with sports or TV. (It also had nothing to do with that; I'm 60, married and monogamous.)
	12:30pm chromaphone: Does Nonet tend to sound Frisellish or was it just on that track?
	12:32pm Alex In Illinois: I was on Ambien many years ago. A few times I woke up from sleep-coding. That was back when VB6 was popular. A programming language that was as easy to use as legos.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Wilson definitely has Frisell tendencies.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Tele! Alex!
	12:34pm Dominick: Hiya kids, hiya hiya hiya
	12:34pm Alex In Illinois: Tars Tarkas was a character from the Edgar Rice Boroughs John Carter on Mars stories.
	12:35pm Alex In Illinois: I don't think I spelled the author's surname correctly.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:36pm chromaphone: I live near Boston but I still don't watch sports.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: I guess it's allowed.
	12:38pm Jeff Golick: To you credit, @chromaphone. Of course, all you have to do to fit in is say "Go Pats" or "Yankees suck" everyone once in a while.
	12:38pm Dean: It's Edgar Five Boroughs.
	12:39pm Parq: Boston just canceled a North Carolina gig as a protest. My admiration for the gesture was somewhat tempered by my astonishment at learning that there are still people willing to pay money to see Boston perform.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: I'm thinking about announcing my NC cancellation.
	12:40pm 67tele: for those people it's More Than a Feeling
	12:41pm Dean: People in North Carolina, Parq.
	12:41pm chromaphone: I guess it's cool that so much time, energy and money is put into sports. Just wish a bit of more of that stuff could be diverted into the arts these days. LOL Parq. As I recall there last few records were truly horrible.
	12:42pm melinda: @Jeff & chromaphone: I live in New England and once saw a sign in a window of an office building that appeared to read '60 PATS'. Of butter? Pats on the ass? wait, no...it's Go Pats. I don't follow sports either.
	12:48pm chromaphone: I watched one regular season game of the Pats game last year. I forget why I watdched, but it was actually super entertaining.
	12:49pm listener james from westwood: Complex topic, artist boycotts.
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: Their ability to get as far as they did w/ the nightmarish injured/reserve list they had by the bottom third of the season was stunning.
	12:50pm ndbob: @James exactly - the boycotts make an important point - but they can also hurt those who most support the arts
	12:51pm Dominick: One of my favorite Popeye cartoons is based on this song. Love the way it ends with Popeye, Bluto and Olive in a three way brawl.
	12:53pm chromaphone: The game I watched James was super dramatic and they came back from a huge deficit. I was huge 1980s-era Celtics/NBA fan but have lost interest/time over the years. Recently watched a montage of Bird highlights - holy shit! Had forgotten how amazing he was.
	12:56pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: I caught the entirety of a Sunday or Monday night game last Dec where the Colts' rookie backup QB, Brock Osweiler (sp?), subbed for Manning vs. Brady and pulled it off. Gripping stuff. Plus it snowed! I am a big fan of 70s-style snow-swept winter football. Damn those domes!
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Need to plant potatoes and onions, pronto.
	12:59pm ndbob: I didn't know until recently that the name of this group came from a novel by Vin Packer - which I read as an ebook
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Quite so, Bob. Brian, I'm trying to get all caught up with things before tomato planting time.
	1:01pm Dean: I have the vaguest memory of watching a group called Angel's Damnation on the Real Don Steele Show on television in the late '60s. I've never been able to corroborate my recollection. Maybe this was the band? (Looks like I posted a query to this effect on the WFMU blog back in '09, too.)
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Tull was a better band before the guitars became subordinate to the flute, in my view.
	1:06pm chromaphone: Never been a huge fan, but I heard their first album a couple years ago for the first time and loved it.
	1:09pm chromaphone: I guess the guitarist left after the first album cause he didn't like where the Tull sound was going.
	1:13pm Dean: I confessed a few months ago to not liking Tull one bit until suddenly I did. That conversion was due to an interview with Ian Anderson, in which he pretty much admitted that "Tull was a better band before the guitars became subordinate to the flute." There's a CD/DVD of Steve Hillage playing Rockpalast in 1977 with Clive Bunker. He wasn't a great fit for Hillage's gnome-hippie vibe, but he pummels the drums like his life depends on it.
	1:14pm Parq: Am almost embarrassed -- almost -- at what a big Tull fan I was. But then I was also a big ELP fan.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: I was a huge Tull fan and didn't get off that bus till War Child...which I thought was bollocks.
	1:16pm Dean: Never mind the war child
	1:17pm Lane Gray: Dangit. I forgot this was Friday
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Shit. It's Friday?
	1:20pm Dean: Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, live, "Ice Cream Man." Thirteen false endings.
	1:20pm Lane Gray: My British Comedy stream never played ISIHAC, which ends at 10 :30 central. So it never sounded like Friday
	1:21pm 67tele: any old Uriah Heep or Blue Oyster Cult fans out there? I used to like to listen to them during the Tull years too...
	1:22pm Dean: I'm old and I'm a fan of BOC's "On Your Feet or On Your Knees." Does that count?
	1:23pm 67tele: haha i liked it when he said "On your feet...or on your knees!"
	1:24pm 67tele: it seemed so badass to my 15 yr old glue sniffin self...
	1:24pm Dean: Page
	1:25pm doctorjazz: Catch up time with the posts...busy in office for a bit. I saw Tull back in the day, right around Aqualung, lost interest after that (always thought the 1st album was the best, before Anderson became so "artsy") Patriots are hated by us NY Jets fans, my daughter calls them "The Deflatriots" (recent things I've read seem to say the deflated balls were a natural winter occurrence, don't believe it). EVERY jazz guitarist since Bill Frisell came on the scene has some Frisell in his/her style OK, back next chance I get.
	1:25pm davefromtoronto: robbie?
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Robbie Robertson, it's him (more edgy sounding than he later would be)
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Yep...Robbie.
	1:26pm Alex In Illinois: Lane, maybe you can explain this: according to all evidence, Barabara Mandrell is and always was a Country musician. But, my memory associates her with Disco. Do I have false memories or is there another explanation?
	1:28pm coelacanth: 67 - i used to get into uriah heap in my earliest years of herb-smoking. i had "sweet freedom" & "magician's birthday". i then acquired 3 other albums, but the phaze had passed and didn't like 'em. i still pull those 2 out now and then.
	1:28pm Dean: Wow. Impressive. Mandrell: See http://www.discomusic.com/101-more/15322_0_7_0_C/
	1:29pm Lane Gray: Because her biggest commercial successes were her country/disco fusions, like Crackers, Woman to Woman, and a few others.
	1:29pm davefromtoronto: what came first - hadadcol boogie or mind your own business by hank w?
	🛒 1:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I won't hear one word against "War Child", which I love. Most of.
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: (mumble mumble Bungle in the Jungle mumble mumble) Lizzie! Lane!
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Her disco did better than, for example, her cover of Ray Price's "I Don't Believe I'll Fall in Love Today"
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Grab something before the next track starts and hang on.
	1:33pm Lane Gray: Steering wheel work, Michael?
	1:33pm Alex In Illinois: Thanks Lane and Dean.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Sure...keep it between the white lines.
	1:34pm coelacanth: i was away and missed the origin of that conversation. i was very into 'tull and wanted more but everything after aqualung disappoints, at least a little. my teenage self did really like "war child", but haven't cared to hear it in many years now; whereas i still listen to aqualung and everything before it.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Sorry to hear "Live from Leroy" is going off Saturday nights, that's such a fun, down home show, great mucic
	1:35pm chromaphone: @DrJazz - Trying to think of a post-Frisell jazz guitarist that doesn't have him in their style... their are lots of them in the Boston era, like Steve Fell, Kevin Barry and Mike Mele but can't think of any others off the top of my head.
	1:36pm Lane Gray: Also, Alex, no matter how much hardcore honky-tonk an artist does, once they crossover, their image changes forever.. Bimbo,Mexican Joe and Little Old Dine all got forgotten once Jim Reeves did He'll Have to Go
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Of course, it was exaggeration, but you do hear his spacy tone and loose time/touch in many guitarists since Frisell became known.
	1:38pm chromaphone: I dug the Boston track by the way UM. I was like "damn this sounds good".
	1:39pm chromaphone: Totally Dr J.
	1:40pm 67tele: 'yes indeed, I've got a need'...thats just great
	1:40pm Jeff Golick: Mary Halvorson seems to suggest a different direction.
	1:40pm doctorjazz: What a wild Doc Severinson track he was listening to "Picking up the Pieces", just think of him from the Johnny Carson days. Back to the mines in a few minutes...Passover Food Orgy tonight at my sister's house...Yum!
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Damn. Do I hear pedal steel?
	1:41pm doctorjazz: Halvorson is a whole other world, Jeff.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: More haroset, Doc.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: More WINE!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Don't you always, Lane?
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Larry White on the steel on the Doc, Lane.
	1:43pm chromaphone: Though some sound more like Frisell than others DrJ. The main reason I started playing guitar was David Gilmour. I don't think the spacey/bluesy aspects of the way I play are totally a result of Frisell even though I am a big fan.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: I usually only hear steel where there is steel. But some folks can fool me
	1:47pm Dean: Burkhard Stangl? Brandon Ross?
	1:50pm Lane Gray: Must get chili Monday. And their horseradish and mustard oil murder pickles are amazing. And Pimpin (the superannuated pit bull) loves them
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: You're not serious.
	1:53pm Lane Gray: He digs them. Is Josie Lawrence in the. Scary Biyches?
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: There's a Mickey Katz version of Ghost Riders in the Sky. www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: I know!
	1:57pm ndbob: @Henry that's what the version UM played made me think of
	2:01pm Lane Gray: I love this song...
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Larry or Bob?
	2:04pm Lane Gray: The Larry. And the Bob. But the. Larry prompted the outburst
	2:04pm doctorjazz: I also thought of the Katz Ghost Riders when I heard it.
	2:07pm chromaphone: If you like cool guitar sounds check out this clip I recently found on youtube of a Boston band: www.youtube.com...
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Quite a guitar summit on this What'd I Say (Not making any more blanket statements about guitar players).
	2:07pm Alex In Illinois: Ned Sublette did a Merengue version of Ghost Riders.
	2:14pm Lane Gray: B-3 author gratin
	2:15pm Lane Gray: au gratin. Stupid spellchecker
	2:16pm chromaphone: Lane did you ever check out Too Drunk to Truck by Roy Sludge that I was telling you about? No pedal on it but Kevin Barry is a great lap player.
	2:17pm 67tele: The Bloodyhotsak...now there's a name. I always though 10,000 Maniacs was such a great name and then heard them and had cognitive dissonance
	2:17pm geezerette: Loving this crazy show! So much fun!
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: I've gone mad!
	2:20pm geezerette: Yippie!
	2:20pm Lane Gray: I have it pulled up to listen at 2 (Central)
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: damn! That's some amazing fretwork.
	2:21pm geezerette: Uncle Michael;great energy blast to launch into weekend. Cheers!
	2:22pm chromaphone: If you like Kevin's playing I can refer you to other stuff. Some nice atmospheric stuff on Duke Levine's Beneath the Blue.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Geezerette!
	2:34pm doctorjazz: www.youtube.com... Checked out the YouTube Duke Levine of that tune, it's really pretty
	2:35pm Alex In Illinois: @67tele: I and some of my friends had the same issue with 10,000 Maniacs.
	2:38pm chromaphone: Duke is amazing. He has mad chops but tends to make more laid back/melodic music these days.
	🛒 2:39pm Brian in UK: Uncle, to the kitchen. Good luck with the gardening.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian and likewise.
	2:40pm doctorjazz: Does this remind anyone else of a more rocking Cat Stevens (the Tim Moore)?
	2:41pm Dean: Yeah, "Peace Train."
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM, until next week!
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Sure. Tim may be best known for "Rock & Roll Love Letter." Thanks Doc!
	2:42pm 67tele: @Alex: haha yeah
	2:44pm Doug Schulkind: Been lurking and listening (but not glurking or glistening). And enjoying!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I heard you breathing.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: "Two for the Price of One" -- it's like the Give the Drummer Radio Friday motto.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Cheap at twice the price, Jeff.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: No Dead in a while, nice to hear this early track (at least for me).
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: And some Gospel Swing to take it out, nice....
	2:57pm Lane Gray: Very good show
	2:57pm 67tele: My appointment has gone very well. Thanks Dr. UM. Also congrats on your great performance on the Symphonia; I saw the video
	2:58pm chromaphone: Sister Rosetta had such an intense picking technique. Thanks UM.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Argh, I knew you'd do something radical like end at three hours. Always a sad parting but with the promise of more. Thanks, UM, and best of luck w/ the cooking!
	3:01pm geezerette: May all seekers find their matzo. :)
	3:02pm Doug Schulkind: Bew tee full.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all...leave a cup for Elijah!
	3:21pm coelacanth: (belated) Thanks UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 22, 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.

	12:06pm Parq: BTW, Doug, that Prince version of "Case" was the best Joni cover I've ever heard.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Parq!
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: I always look askance at those who dis this Tom Jones/AoN cover. He sings the HELL out of this fucking song. I admire earnest embraces across genres.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:09pm chromaphone: Parq - Check out That Song about the Midway by Bonnie Raitt
	12:10pm mauri: howdy uncle michael!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: chromaphone! Bonnie's "too long at the fair" is her best record, imho Mauri!
	12:11pm coelacanth: hello again Uncle; and nieces, nephews
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: coelacanth!
	12:16pm Parq: Chromophone, that one's up there, but Dave Van Ronk's version of the same song is better.
	12:16pm melinda: hi y'all
	12:16pm annie: i'm here, but i'm on the other tab
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Melinda! Annie!
	12:17pm chromaphone: Wow Parq, I will check it out
	12:19pm ndbob: HI Melinda and Annie!
	12:23pm chromaphone: UM I seem to like her first album the best, but I just pulled up Give it Up in Spotify and look forward to listening again. The glossy production on most of her stuff kind of turns me off.
	12:27pm melinda: Enoch Light did some really zazzy covers.
	12:28pm Doug Schulkind: He walked four, Michael. Not THAT great.
	12:28pm 67tele: good morning all
	12:29pm Parq: I was up late last night too. It had nothing to do with sports or TV. (It also had nothing to do with that; I'm 60, married and monogamous.)
	12:30pm chromaphone: Does Nonet tend to sound Frisellish or was it just on that track?
	12:32pm Alex In Illinois: I was on Ambien many years ago. A few times I woke up from sleep-coding. That was back when VB6 was popular. A programming language that was as easy to use as legos.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Wilson definitely has Frisell tendencies.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Tele! Alex!
	12:34pm Dominick: Hiya kids, hiya hiya hiya
	12:34pm Alex In Illinois: Tars Tarkas was a character from the Edgar Rice Boroughs John Carter on Mars stories.
	12:35pm Alex In Illinois: I don't think I spelled the author's surname correctly.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:36pm chromaphone: I live near Boston but I still don't watch sports.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: I guess it's allowed.
	12:38pm Jeff Golick: To you credit, @chromaphone. Of course, all you have to do to fit in is say "Go Pats" or "Yankees suck" everyone once in a while.
	12:38pm Dean: It's Edgar Five Boroughs.
	12:39pm Parq: Boston just canceled a North Carolina gig as a protest. My admiration for the gesture was somewhat tempered by my astonishment at learning that there are still people willing to pay money to see Boston perform.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: I'm thinking about announcing my NC cancellation.
	12:40pm 67tele: for those people it's More Than a Feeling
	12:41pm Dean: People in North Carolina, Parq.
	12:41pm chromaphone: I guess it's cool that so much time, energy and money is put into sports. Just wish a bit of more of that stuff could be diverted into the arts these days. LOL Parq. As I recall there last few records were truly horrible.
	12:42pm melinda: @Jeff & chromaphone: I live in New England and once saw a sign in a window of an office building that appeared to read '60 PATS'. Of butter? Pats on the ass? wait, no...it's Go Pats. I don't follow sports either.
	12:48pm chromaphone: I watched one regular season game of the Pats game last year. I forget why I watdched, but it was actually super entertaining.
	12:49pm listener james from westwood: Complex topic, artist boycotts.
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: Their ability to get as far as they did w/ the nightmarish injured/reserve list they had by the bottom third of the season was stunning.
	12:50pm ndbob: @James exactly - the boycotts make an important point - but they can also hurt those who most support the arts
	12:51pm Dominick: One of my favorite Popeye cartoons is based on this song. Love the way it ends with Popeye, Bluto and Olive in a three way brawl.
	12:53pm chromaphone: The game I watched James was super dramatic and they came back from a huge deficit. I was huge 1980s-era Celtics/NBA fan but have lost interest/time over the years. Recently watched a montage of Bird highlights - holy shit! Had forgotten how amazing he was.
	12:56pm listener james from westwood: @chromaphone: I caught the entirety of a Sunday or Monday night game last Dec where the Colts' rookie backup QB, Brock Osweiler (sp?), subbed for Manning vs. Brady and pulled it off. Gripping stuff. Plus it snowed! I am a big fan of 70s-style snow-swept winter football. Damn those domes!
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Need to plant potatoes and onions, pronto.
	12:59pm ndbob: I didn't know until recently that the name of this group came from a novel by Vin Packer - which I read as an ebook
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Quite so, Bob. Brian, I'm trying to get all caught up with things before tomato planting time.
	1:01pm Dean: I have the vaguest memory of watching a group called Angel's Damnation on the Real Don Steele Show on television in the late '60s. I've never been able to corroborate my recollection. Maybe this was the band? (Looks like I posted a query to this effect on the WFMU blog back in '09, too.)
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Tull was a better band before the guitars became subordinate to the flute, in my view.
	1:06pm chromaphone: Never been a huge fan, but I heard their first album a couple years ago for the first time and loved it.
	1:09pm chromaphone: I guess the guitarist left after the first album cause he didn't like where the Tull sound was going.
	1:13pm Dean: I confessed a few months ago to not liking Tull one bit until suddenly I did. That conversion was due to an interview with Ian Anderson, in which he pretty much admitted that "Tull was a better band before the guitars became subordinate to the flute." There's a CD/DVD of Steve Hillage playing Rockpalast in 1977 with Clive Bunker. He wasn't a great fit for Hillage's gnome-hippie vibe, but he pummels the drums like his life depends on it.
	1:14pm Parq: Am almost embarrassed -- almost -- at what a big Tull fan I was. But then I was also a big ELP fan.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: I was a huge Tull fan and didn't get off that bus till War Child...which I thought was bollocks.
	1:16pm Dean: Never mind the war child
	1:17pm Lane Gray: Dangit. I forgot this was Friday
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Shit. It's Friday?
	1:20pm Dean: Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, live, "Ice Cream Man." Thirteen false endings.
	1:20pm Lane Gray: My British Comedy stream never played ISIHAC, which ends at 10 :30 central. So it never sounded like Friday
	1:21pm 67tele: any old Uriah Heep or Blue Oyster Cult fans out there? I used to like to listen to them during the Tull years too...
	1:22pm Dean: I'm old and I'm a fan of BOC's "On Your Feet or On Your Knees." Does that count?
	1:23pm 67tele: haha i liked it when he said "On your feet...or on your knees!"
	1:24pm 67tele: it seemed so badass to my 15 yr old glue sniffin self...
	1:24pm Dean: Page
	1:25pm doctorjazz: Catch up time with the posts...busy in office for a bit. I saw Tull back in the day, right around Aqualung, lost interest after that (always thought the 1st album was the best, before Anderson became so "artsy") Patriots are hated by us NY Jets fans, my daughter calls them "The Deflatriots" (recent things I've read seem to say the deflated balls were a natural winter occurrence, don't believe it). EVERY jazz guitarist since Bill Frisell came on the scene has some Frisell in his/her style OK, back next chance I get.
	1:25pm davefromtoronto: robbie?
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Robbie Robertson, it's him (more edgy sounding than he later would be)
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Yep...Robbie.
	1:26pm Alex In Illinois: Lane, maybe you can explain this: according to all evidence, Barabara Mandrell is and always was a Country musician. But, my memory associates her with Disco. Do I have false memories or is there another explanation?
	1:28pm coelacanth: 67 - i used to get into uriah heap in my earliest years of herb-smoking. i had "sweet freedom" & "magician's birthday". i then acquired 3 other albums, but the phaze had passed and didn't like 'em. i still pull those 2 out now and then.
	1:28pm Dean: Wow. Impressive. Mandrell: See http://www.discomusic.com/101-more/15322_0_7_0_C/
	1:29pm Lane Gray: Because her biggest commercial successes were her country/disco fusions, like Crackers, Woman to Woman, and a few others.
	1:29pm davefromtoronto: what came first - hadadcol boogie or mind your own business by hank w?
	🛒 1:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I won't hear one word against "War Child", which I love. Most of.
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: (mumble mumble Bungle in the Jungle mumble mumble) Lizzie! Lane!
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Her disco did better than, for example, her cover of Ray Price's "I Don't Believe I'll Fall in Love Today"
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Grab something before the next track starts and hang on.
	1:33pm Lane Gray: Steering wheel work, Michael?
	1:33pm Alex In Illinois: Thanks Lane and Dean.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Sure...keep it between the white lines.
	1:34pm coelacanth: i was away and missed the origin of that conversation. i was very into 'tull and wanted more but everything after aqualung disappoints, at least a little. my teenage self did really like "war child", but haven't cared to hear it in many years now; whereas i still listen to aqualung and everything before it.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Sorry to hear "Live from Leroy" is going off Saturday nights, that's such a fun, down home show, great mucic
	1:35pm chromaphone: @DrJazz - Trying to think of a post-Frisell jazz guitarist that doesn't have him in their style... their are lots of them in the Boston era, like Steve Fell, Kevin Barry and Mike Mele but can't think of any others off the top of my head.
	1:36pm Lane Gray: Also, Alex, no matter how much hardcore honky-tonk an artist does, once they crossover, their image changes forever.. Bimbo,Mexican Joe and Little Old Dine all got forgotten once Jim Reeves did He'll Have to Go
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Of course, it was exaggeration, but you do hear his spacy tone and loose time/touch in many guitarists since Frisell became known.
	1:38pm chromaphone: I dug the Boston track by the way UM. I was like "damn this sounds good".
	1:39pm chromaphone: Totally Dr J.
	1:40pm 67tele: 'yes indeed, I've got a need'...thats just great
	1:40pm Jeff Golick: Mary Halvorson seems to suggest a different direction.
	1:40pm doctorjazz: What a wild Doc Severinson track he was listening to "Picking up the Pieces", just think of him from the Johnny Carson days. Back to the mines in a few minutes...Passover Food Orgy tonight at my sister's house...Yum!
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Damn. Do I hear pedal steel?
	1:41pm doctorjazz: Halvorson is a whole other world, Jeff.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: More haroset, Doc.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: More WINE!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Don't you always, Lane?
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Larry White on the steel on the Doc, Lane.
	1:43pm chromaphone: Though some sound more like Frisell than others DrJ. The main reason I started playing guitar was David Gilmour. I don't think the spacey/bluesy aspects of the way I play are totally a result of Frisell even though I am a big fan.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: I usually only hear steel where there is steel. But some folks can fool me
	1:47pm Dean: Burkhard Stangl? Brandon Ross?
	1:50pm Lane Gray: Must get chili Monday. And their horseradish and mustard oil murder pickles are amazing. And Pimpin (the superannuated pit bull) loves them
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: You're not serious.
	1:53pm Lane Gray: He digs them. Is Josie Lawrence in the. Scary Biyches?
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: There's a Mickey Katz version of Ghost Riders in the Sky. www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: I know!
	1:57pm ndbob: @Henry that's what the version UM played made me think of
	2:01pm Lane Gray: I love this song...
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Larry or Bob?
	2:04pm Lane Gray: The Larry. And the Bob. But the. Larry prompted the outburst
	2:04pm doctorjazz: I also thought of the Katz Ghost Riders when I heard it.
	2:07pm chromaphone: If you like cool guitar sounds check out this clip I recently found on youtube of a Boston band: www.youtube.com...
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Quite a guitar summit on this What'd I Say (Not making any more blanket statements about guitar players).
	2:07pm Alex In Illinois: Ned Sublette did a Merengue version of Ghost Riders.
	2:14pm Lane Gray: B-3 author gratin
	2:15pm Lane Gray: au gratin. Stupid spellchecker
	2:16pm chromaphone: Lane did you ever check out Too Drunk to Truck by Roy Sludge that I was telling you about? No pedal on it but Kevin Barry is a great lap player.
	2:17pm 67tele: The Bloodyhotsak...now there's a name. I always though 10,000 Maniacs was such a great name and then heard them and had cognitive dissonance
	2:17pm geezerette: Loving this crazy show! So much fun!
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: I've gone mad!
	2:20pm geezerette: Yippie!
	2:20pm Lane Gray: I have it pulled up to listen at 2 (Central)
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: damn! That's some amazing fretwork.
	2:21pm geezerette: Uncle Michael;great energy blast to launch into weekend. Cheers!
	2:22pm chromaphone: If you like Kevin's playing I can refer you to other stuff. Some nice atmospheric stuff on Duke Levine's Beneath the Blue.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Geezerette!
	2:34pm doctorjazz: www.youtube.com... Checked out the YouTube Duke Levine of that tune, it's really pretty
	2:35pm Alex In Illinois: @67tele: I and some of my friends had the same issue with 10,000 Maniacs.
	2:38pm chromaphone: Duke is amazing. He has mad chops but tends to make more laid back/melodic music these days.
	🛒 2:39pm Brian in UK: Uncle, to the kitchen. Good luck with the gardening.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian and likewise.
	2:40pm doctorjazz: Does this remind anyone else of a more rocking Cat Stevens (the Tim Moore)?
	2:41pm Dean: Yeah, "Peace Train."
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM, until next week!
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Sure. Tim may be best known for "Rock & Roll Love Letter." Thanks Doc!
	2:42pm 67tele: @Alex: haha yeah
	2:44pm Doug Schulkind: Been lurking and listening (but not glurking or glistening). And enjoying!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I heard you breathing.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: "Two for the Price of One" -- it's like the Give the Drummer Radio Friday motto.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Cheap at twice the price, Jeff.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: No Dead in a while, nice to hear this early track (at least for me).
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: And some Gospel Swing to take it out, nice....
	2:57pm Lane Gray: Very good show
	2:57pm 67tele: My appointment has gone very well. Thanks Dr. UM. Also congrats on your great performance on the Symphonia; I saw the video
	2:58pm chromaphone: Sister Rosetta had such an intense picking technique. Thanks UM.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Argh, I knew you'd do something radical like end at three hours. Always a sad parting but with the promise of more. Thanks, UM, and best of luck w/ the cooking!
	3:01pm geezerette: May all seekers find their matzo. :)
	3:02pm Doug Schulkind: Bew tee full.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all...leave a cup for Elijah!
	3:21pm coelacanth: (belated) Thanks UM!
