	12:02pm Stevel: So, not blown away recently?
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Good Friday, UM! Hoping the skies out there are far kinder than they've been of late.
	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: In China, they have a Hunan radio station.
	12:05pm Artie Haywire: Gabriel García Márquez, and his 'Tramontana'. Favorite tale of winds.
	12:05pm joe: Tension breaker had to be done
	12:07pm doctorjazz: Hi, moving the party over here. Guess the winds didn't blow that ill...
	12:08pm Mike East: Minutemen!!! This track is the bomb
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: No mistaking this one. Hi, @UM. Glad you are not in Oz. #notacommentreAustralia
	12:09pm doctorjazz: great guitar sound! Listened a bit to Poppa Neil, maybe?
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: STEVE JAMES DOUG ARTIE JOE DOC MIKE JEFF!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Definitely feeling the storm hangover here.
	12:11pm Mike East: UNCLEMICHAEL!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Freeform or trainwreck? You decide.
	12:13pm Mike East: Either way, I can't look away!
	12:14pm Alex In Illinois: Black my Boots and make 'em shine, Goodbye, Goodbye, Black my Boots and make 'em shine, Goodbye Liza Jane.
	12:14pm 67tele: Morning all. Be safe out there.
	12:14pm coelacanth: Howdy Uncle M; Hinklings; Dinklings...
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: ALEX TELE FISH!
	12:15pm Doug Schulkind: How are the turtles, Uncle Michael? I worry.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: me too. No further sightings.
	12:17pm Alex In Illinois: Folks have been singing about Liza Jane for over a century or two. In Illinois, it was: goin' down to Cairo, Goodbye Liza Jane.
	12:18pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: BOB!
	12:19pm holland oats: lurve
	12:19pm coelacanth: @Artie Haywire, "tramontana"? a García Márquez book? -short story? i'm not familiar with that one and he's one of my very favorites. {rest in peace}
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: HOLLAND!
	12:26pm Alex In Illinois: Wait, didn't you do that?
	12:28pm joe: One of my favorite Stones songs
	12:28pm Marie: Hey UM, nice set. Thankee! Have a great weekend!
	12:28pm coelacanth: i'm a bit senile, but i vaguely remember wfmu having 6-hour time-slots. (?)
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Better late than never. Good morning, Unca Michael
	12:29pm Marie: I was thinking that you sound hungover, UM.
	12:30pm Dean: My daughter, 5YO, often says, "Yeah, blah, blah, blah," to me. I've assumed she got it from a cartoon she watches via YT, but maybe she got it from Minutemen, in which case good on her.
	12:30pm Artie Haywire: @coelacanth: A short story, detailing the maddening effects of a relentless wind blowing off the mountains and down to a Med fishing village.
	12:30pm Lane Gray: What if she got it from Miri?
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: MARIE LANE DEAN!
	12:31pm Dean: I would disown her.
	12:32pm Lane Gray: Typical grup attitude
	12:33pm coelacanth: Ha, that sounds great! -and sounds like him! ...i know there's a later short stories collection i haven't read. this bumps it up on my list. Thanks!
	12:34pm joe: HEY TOMMY! pay attention would ya
	12:34pm Dean: Typical, yet highly logical.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Tommy, a rock opera about a boy with ADHD.
	12:36pm Dean: It's also about an early case of de Quervain's disease.
	12:37pm Dean: Cue the Nick Gilder.
	12:38pm Marie: GM Marquez--a truly great writer. Anyone ever read any Mario Vargas Llosa? I think he is great and he has written in some really varied styles.
	12:39pm Dean: Or Vonnegut?
	12:39pm Joe: Bummer was kind of hoping for some Joe Walsh :)
	12:40pm chromaphone: lol Joe
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Joe...good idea. I failed.
	12:41pm Mike East: Kurt Vonnegut lyrics to this Ambrosia track
	12:42pm Santos L. Halper: Woo-hoo! First day of summer (for me). Very nice indeed to be hearing you UM.
	12:42pm Parq: Yeah, prog Vonnegut. Haven't heard this in several forevers.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: SANTOS PARQ!
	12:43pm chromaphone: Glad you didn't play Hot Child in the City though. Hi
	12:44pm 67tele: yay Ambrosia - the most make-you-wanna-cry prog song this side of King Crimson's I Talk to the Wind. Arent these lyrics by Vonnegut or somebody?
	12:45pm 67tele: oh yeah i see it up there
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: CHROMAPHONE!
	12:48pm doctorjazz: Love Belle!!!!
	12:51pm joe: @67tele have to agree with you about the tear inducing effects of I Talk To The Wind
	12:51pm joe: JAM BINGE....Let's do it
	12:52pm coelacanth: i hadn't heard that in forever either...and didn't know about the cat's cradle reference. -that's another book on my list.
	12:52pm Dean: Just a week or so ago you remarked that your hammer smelled funny.
	12:53pm Dean: Start smoking. That'll kill the smell.
	12:54pm joe: Isn't that a new emo band...These Pig Shit Hands.
	12:54pm Lane Gray: Smoke clove cigarettes.... Or, because I dig H&J, smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, Drink Wrigley's Spearmint beer
	12:55pm ndbob: I hada quote from Cat's Cradle to accompany my high school yearbook photo
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: H&J, Lane?
	12:55pm coelacanth: UM, have you ever used espoma organic fertilizers? some of those have amazing staying power. just breathing the smell gets the essence stuck in my sinuses for days. ...maybe it's all psychological.
	12:56pm Mike East: My 6 yr old nephew did some modeling and ended up with his picture on a fertilizer bag.
	12:57pm chromaphone: I know nothing about the Jam or their music but that song was cool.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I only fertilize with things like fish emulsion...which smells far worse than pig shit.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: Homer and Jethro. The Billboard Song. Probably apropos to Kansas cleanup
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: Do I hear Swinging the aphabet coming on? it is Hinky. www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm Dean: My high school annual quote was from Breakfast of Champions: “He had a penis eight hundred miles long and two hundred and ten miles in diameter, but practically all of it was in the fourth dimension.”
	12:59pm coelacanth: ndbob, i quoted "the spider and i" by Brian Eno in someone's yearbook. i think it really impressed this popular, southern rock-lovin' girl, but i didn't try to ever see her again. ...what was your quote?
	1:01pm Artie Haywire: Subtle.
	1:01pm joe: @chromaphone That album is a great place to start. Go from there and just work your way forward. Paul Weller has put out some great solo albums too.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: HENRY! Nope.
	1:04pm Artie Haywire: For a more Jam-like feel, you might look for albums by Paul Collins and Gentleman Jesse. Fine power-pop.
	1:04pm chromaphone: Hey thanks Joe and Artie.
	1:05pm chromaphone: What exactly is happening in that gif? so cool.
	1:06pm coelacanth: the espoma fertilizers are primarily chicken shit mixed with chicken feathers. i have to fence off everything for a week or two because i can't keep the dogs from eating it. -yummy.
	1:06pm efd: All these years I had no idea that the Madness song was a cover.
	1:07pm efd: also, hi Uncle Michael and all! Happy to have this Friday off so I can tune in for the first time in too long.
	1:07pm Dean: Paul Collins! I saw the first The Beat album at a Goodwill last weekend.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Aren't you sposed to be woikin' EFD? Good to see you!
	1:08pm joe: Thank you EFD now I don't feel like the only one.
	1:08pm Parq: Looks like I'm seeing Todd Rundgren tonight in Newark. Saw him twice back in the day. I know from seeing videos that his voice has changed, but I'm really interested to see if he's still got it.
	1:08pm joe: Who the hell would drop the first Beat album to Good Will?
	1:09pm coelacanth: hi efd!
	1:09pm Dean: Somebody's mom?
	1:10pm Dean: Haven't seen Rundgren in ages. Caught him at the Roxy during the tour that produced Back to the Bars.
	1:11pm joe: @Parq that was going to be a last minute decision if I would go or not, but something else did come up. Hope you have a good time.
	1:12pm Parq: Haven't been to an arena show in -- this is true -- 37 years.
	1:12pm Dean: "Happily" rhymes with "Napoli." Now I've heard it all.
	1:14pm Webhamster Henry: I can almost hear "Uncle Martin's" antennae raising.
	1:15pm Parq: Blossom Dearie vs Peggy Lee -- man, I'd hate to have to make that choice.
	1:17pm 67tele: Labbi Sifre is a guy; he just has a high voice
	1:18pm coelacanth: i will forever LOVE this!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Now you tell me, Tele.
	1:20pm Parq: < cheap North Carolina jape >
	1:20pm 67tele: The Vulture is another good song of Labbi's...totally different feel
	1:20pm geezerette: Yoo-Hoo, Uncle Michael !It's midnight at the oasis, send yer camels to bed.!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: love what, coelacanth?
	1:21pm Lane Gray: The Hinky Dinky show after my anniversary, and you play one of the tracks from the wedding. Awwww
	1:22pm coelacanth: the original gypsy woman; but also i like the new tradition of hearing a version of caravan once a day.
	1:22pm listener james from westwood: I do love a good "Caravan."
	1:22pm Dean: Try Claw Hammer's traversal. It's a doozy.
	1:23pm Lane Gray: I like Mike Auldridge's Dobro version
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Did the Wilde Knights ever cover "Wild Night?"
	1:25pm ndbob: 37 years is about right for me and arena shows
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I keep calling. They never answer.
	1:26pm Dean: The aforementioned Claw Hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlDdpJj7Zxw
	1:26pm Jeff Golick: @Lane: this is also the HDT after my anniversary. Hit 18 on 5/24. My marriage can legally drink now, in some states. <marriage joke here>
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Actually, looks like the drinking age is 21 pretty much country-wide.
	1:30pm coelacanth: i have no interest in arena concerts. if i cannot see what the fingers are doing on the guitar i don't see the point. when i've attended one by someone else's decision, i (we) have found open spaces toward the back where there's no point in trying to see the band, and just danced.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I got 10th row for ZZ TOP and Gov't Mule!
	1:34pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have only been to an arena concert once. If I had a job of designing an expensive arena concert for a band, I would hire some illusionists as consultants, and design the show so that it looks like the band members frequently materialize among the stands.
	1:34pm 67tele: (unrelated to anything except rock n' roll love): has anyone seen a link to 'Western Eyes' by the fabulous and wonderful X-Teens (not Portishead)? I just wanted to hear it (after UM show is over of course) for a needed Friday uplift
	1:35pm joe: The NJ ZZ Top show is the last of Greg Allman on the tour the very next show is Gov't Mules first.
	1:36pm melinda: Hi everyone!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the beach party, melinda!
	1:36pm coelacanth: yeh, i was just thinking it's different for seated shows, if i'm close enough. all my arena shows were either general admittance, or nosebleed seats. (& i guess vip sections)
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Joe, I think there are some overlaps on the tour.
	1:37pm Parq: Coalec at 1:30, I fear that's just how it's going to be, but a good friend is offering me a ticket and I haven't seen any live music in months, so what the hey.
	1:39pm Dean: I can't find a correlation between venue size or seating location and quality of show. Cheap Trick got better the bigger the venue, for instance. I've heard Brotzmann in big venues (the arena in Victoriaville) and small (a hole in the wall in Berkeley). Both were impressive, albeit in different ways. I did enjoy sitting directly at stage center once at a Jimmy Smith show, but mostly because after I ordered a second martini, he told me to cut down on drinking.
	1:40pm melinda: My only arena concert was Bowie's Let's Dance tour, I think I was 13 and it was exciting and disappointing at the same time, because we were so far from the stage.
	1:42pm coelacanth: right, Parq. i rarely say never! i went to a monster truck show in philly a few years ago! i would never have paid for it but there were 4 of us and we made it fun.
	1:42pm Dean: Managed to catch Barclay James Harvest at Wembley many years ago, but only the last 20 minutes or so of the show. Very back, nosebleed. I was thrilled to be there.
	1:43pm 67tele: dirty combs, used condomes, Shaeffer binge, used syringe...beach party goin on
	1:45pm Dean: I so want to go to a monster truck show! Even more, drag racing: loud, smelly, visually spectacular, sheer sensory overload. Gillions of dollars blown on five seconds of technomachismo, the Platonic ideal of "waste of time." And worth every penny.
	1:45pm joe: @UM kind of bummed though because I am not a GA fan but I do really enjoy Gov't Mule and I have been dying to see ZZ top for some time now.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Tele! Excellent!
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Joe, you see more live music than any person on earth...except Dean.
	1:46pm joe: totally agree with the mostly never say never rule.
	1:47pm Dean: ...for which you can blame Bob Weir.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Why is it Bob's fault?
	1:48pm doctorjazz: This sounds like Ghost Riders Under The Sea...
	1:49pm Dean: If you factor out all those Grateful Dead shows I saw--every one of them, as I've mentioned once or twice--I've only attended an ordinary number of live shows, even fewer post-kids. (Except Zeke. Can't ever miss Zeke.)
	1:49pm joe: Yeah was kind of a choice life style change a few years back after putting so many things on hold for so long and the kid off to college was to do as much a possible.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: What's the best salmon...beef of the sea.
	1:49pm joe: @dean Zeke happens to be on my short list of bands to see
	1:49pm Dean: Leftover?
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: You're not going to answer me, are you Dean?
	1:51pm Alex In Illinois: I am singing that to my wife the next time I eat Salmon. She is not a Salmon fan. Actually, she will eat it at a restaurant or someone else's house, but can't stand the smell of it cooking in our kitchen or on our dogs breath if I give our dog a salmon skin treat.
	1:51pm joe: @Dean what state are you in (I mean state of residency not mind)?
	1:52pm Dean: @joe: Word has it there's a new album in the works. I'm hoping they'll be in town again soon, or I'll have to head to Seattle to hear them. @UM: I will, eventually.
	1:52pm Dean: @joe: California (and self-absorbed).
	1:52pm 67tele: Salmon Dave.."Hold on, I'm Spawnin'"
	1:53pm Lane Gray: Steel player repurposed the whole ride to Fat Boy Rag
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: I was thinking the same thing, Lane...no, wait...I was thinking about lunch...nevermind.
	1:55pm coelacanth: i don't go to shows just to be able to say i was there. if i'm too far away to see but subtly moving images in the distance; and the sound it just okay -as it usually is at that distance, i have other things to do...excellent local bands to see up close. there are artists i'd love to see but only if i actually can- so i plan on never seeing them. i'll live. i've been lucky many times and i'm thankful for more concert experience than most people.
	1:55pm joe: The only reason I ask is things like Groupon constantly are selling cheap tickets to things like Monster Truck and drag race. They were just offering one for over here in NJ for $4 Monster Truck
	1:56pm coelacanth: (sorry -old news now. my computer froze on the post)
	1:56pm doctorjazz: archive.org... Since YOU brought them up...stream of another concert from the Europe 72 Tour.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: Just get the Europe '72 box. The Strand show is a good one!
	1:58pm joe: I got into them during their Epitaph days but when I heard thier cover of Wrathchild I was hooked.
	1:58pm coelacanth: sloowwwww
	1:58pm doctorjazz: There was a Groupon for the ZZ Top show in NJ, wonder if it's still active.
	1:59pm doctorjazz: Does sound slow...
	2:00pm Dean: A great suggestion, joe, Groupon and the like. I first heard them in a tiny Hollywood record store--talk about close up!--when they "opened" for a buddy's band. I was blown away, and since then I try to catch them whenever possible. Acknowledging my affection for the band, my 10YO purchased "T-500" for his hand-me-down iPod.
	2:01pm doctorjazz: That's more like it...
	2:01pm Dean: Yeah, you can collect all the Dead archive issues and reissues you like, but it's not the same as being there.
	2:02pm coelacanth: where is this really from?!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I was 12. Mom wouldn't let me go.
	2:03pm coelacanth: reissue bonus track?
	2:03pm efd: is this a bonus alternate version or something?
	2:04pm doctorjazz: True, also doesn't sound like the My Aim is True version.
	2:04pm efd: looks like I owe coel a coke.
	2:05pm Santos L. Halper: @67tele: thanks for the x-teens mention, may have to go look for Western Eyes in my stacks later, it's been too long
	2:05pm coelacanth: haha! we'll split it. i like irish whiskey in mine.
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: I saw a jazz/improv show at Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday night and found it... frustrating. Smallish room, but SO MUCH TALKING. I don't fully understand the need? point? of talking throughout a perfornace in an intimate space. Like, if you want background music, feel free to listen at home.
	2:06pm Jeff Golick: Yes, I am old, why do you ask.
	2:06pm efd: A-HAAAAAA!
	2:07pm ndbob: I had salmon yesterday actually - I did see the Dead in 1970
	2:08pm Jeff Golick: Isn't "The Four Top" a restaurant term? </snarky copyediting note>
	2:08pm Dean: I can report some of the same at the Brotzmann show last week, Jeff G. Not SO MUCH, but SOME chatter while the musicians were working. And of course the requisite holding-up of phone cameras to capture stills and videos.
	2:09pm joe: @jeff golick that is a very strange shaped room. I've come to find in the NYC area many of the people who show up at shows are not there with any interest as to what is going on but want to have the ability to say they were there. I was at an acoustic show in the basement of Bowery Electric and the audience and the artist had to ask people to keep their voices down.
	2:09pm 67tele: Thanks, UM!
	2:11pm Jeff Golick: @joe: yeah, it's a weird room. Weird vibe, too. Not quite sure what it wants to be or something. And yes, agreed re NYC folks who show up simply as simply something to do -- "let's see a show" -- and aren't really there to listen. Which seems weird to me, but...I probably seem weird to them.
	2:11pm geezerette: We saw ZZ Top at The Greek Theater,which is a pretty intimate venue, GREAT SHOW!!! Also funny cause audience were mostly three generations of bikers,tattooed grandads,moms & dads and kids,(kids had transfer tats), and the adults were passing joints back and forth the whole time. Smoke thick enough to be a stage effect.
	2:12pm coelacanth: i saw the dead once. my first concert -c.1977, at madison square garden. it was an interesting study in sociology, but not interesting enough to see them again. staying home with the records and a flock of deadhead girls; smoking and maybe drinking or tripping was much more satisfying. i did see further a few times.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: No good provenance on this alleged Lee Mitchell track: www.rockabilly.nl...
	2:13pm joe: The difference is we are right :)
	2:13pm Jeff Golick: There was a dry ice machine or something on the stage at LPR. Was...uncalled for. Ok, we're getting out early for the weekend! So I'll say my goodbyes now -- and thanks, @UM!
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Jeff!
	2:17pm doctorjazz: I moved from Brooklyn to Central NJ...if you think clubs have a lot of talking in NYC, man, it can be torture seeing a show in a jazz club in NJ (the few that exist), gets me crazy, seems it would be inconvenient if you're there to talk to have to scream over the performer.
	2:17pm 67tele: the Legendary Hitchhikers...wouldn't be a half-bad band name
	2:17pm Dean: @geezerette: The Greek in Griffith Park? Definitely a fun venue. I only remember seeing Renaissance with Jean-Luc Ponty there, 1977. John Anson Ford Theater is even smaller!
	2:17pm coelacanth: i'd like to see zz top. i have seen government mule. it was a free concert in "echo lake park" in westfield nj that i happened upon while riding a bicycle through. they'd just formed i guess and i'd never heard of them. -excellent.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Gov't Mule is a great band that I've seen many, many times...so many of the songs are such downers though. That's beginning to wear. I expect to see Billy Gibbons and Warren haynes jamming and that will be great.
	2:19pm coelacanth: this song is a little bit early 'stones, a little bit early 'floyd.
	2:20pm geezerette: Dean,exactly! The Greek's called The Ford Theatre now and is about to reopen after renovation. It's a great place for Jazz.
	2:21pm Lane Gray: Love to hear Ralph, Carter and George
	2:21pm melinda: hello Stanleys.
	2:22pm Doug Schulkind: This unabashed eroticising is going great!
	2:22pm Dean: Was unaware of name change, geezerette. That'll clear up an ambiguity. I work across the street for a Greek Theater in another town. (Dylan's due here soon, as is...sitting down?...Don Henley.) We used to go to the JA Ford for classical shows, summer nights, bring a picnic.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Greek in Berkeley?
	2:25pm Marie: Love this pyano!
	2:26pm geezerette: Dean,yep,it's that time of year again! Picnics under stars & choppers listening to live music, the best! Don Henley?!!! why o why?
	2:27pm Dean: Yep. Once being dropped off at work pre-8:00 a.m. I noticed a line of folks forming for the evening's show. I wondered who it might be, so I checked the calendar. Turns out it was a young pop celeb, Ed somebody-or-other, whom my 10YO knew about. I realized (yet again) how out of it I've become. Another time I mentioned to a buddy of mine that Peter Gabriel was playing "across the street." He and I used to travel up and down the state to Gabriel shows in the early '80s. A week later I get a package in the mail from my buddy. It was CD-Rs of the show.
	2:27pm ndbob: Hi Melinda!
	2:27pm geezerette: UM,LA.
	2:28pm Dean: Yes, geezerette, but there's also one in Berkeley.
	2:31pm 67tele: this July song sounds like about 7 different Beatles songs for some reason(s)...
	2:33pm geezerette: Saw Joe Turner once. Pure happiness! Dean,good to know! Hey your buddy is very cool to do that for you.
	2:33pm Parq: Dean, there's a showcase venue near me, and kiddos often line up, sometimes much earlier in the day. I almost never have any familiarity with the bands booked there, but the marque is often fun. My favorite: "IMPENDING DOOM TUESDAY"
	2:34pm Parq: The there was the one that I figured must have been a heads-up for neighborhood birders: "FINCH WEDNESDAY".
	2:35pm geezerette: melinda,I would loved to have seen Stanley bros live.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: It's pouring rain on my ballgame.
	2:37pm coelacanth: i'd have loved to've seen Joe Turner. i liked him pretty young too. 'twas conceivably possible.
	2:37pm Dean: Just think, Parq, if that venue were hosting shows back in the '60s and if the Mamas & Papas were due to appear early in the week, the marquee would read, "'Monday, Monday' Monday!"
	2:38pm geezerette: Parq,haha! The NOT HAPPY hour.
	2:40pm Parq: Dean, grinning big here. Geez, right?
	2:41pm geezerette: coel,there's a neighborhood here called Echo Park that has a lake. Also a Westwood and a Glendale.
	2:41pm Dean: If that link to the Curley Money page is accurate and "A Little Bird Told Me" was issued in late 1958, then that comports with copyright records from the time. The song by Mackey and Brooks was copyrighted Sept. 2, '58.
	2:42pm Parq: UM, you could pair this Holsapple with Diz's "Hey Pete, Let's Eat More Meat".
	2:42pm Dean: Red Lion still there on Glendale Blvd.?
	2:43pm geezerette: Dean,good one! Can't trust that day,day,day...
	2:44pm melinda: hi bob!
	2:44pm geezerette: Dean,think so.
	2:46pm geezerette: Happy holiday UM. We're having fun BECAUSE of yourself.
	2:47pm melinda: @geezerette: I saw Ralph Stanley at the Barre Opera House in VT. It was good.
	2:48pm Lane Gray: Geezerette, I saw the Stanley Brothers at Fincastle, but I don't remember. I wasn't even two. And my dad sat in on bass so George could play guitar.
	2:48pm Dean: Man, "astrud gilberto" makes for some crazy anagrams. A sample: burglarised tot, garbled tourist, burglar dittoes, road litterbugs...
	2:48pm coelacanth: geezerette, is that ca? i discovered another one once, but i forget where it was. this one is tiny, relatively. the lake is basically a large puddle.
	2:49pm Dean: Garbed trio slut
	2:49pm geezerette: melinda,how great. Lucky! :D
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best sports.
	2:51pm Lane Gray: How so, Michael?
	2:51pm Parq: More fun than I have any right to expect from an afternoon at work, UM, and everybody. Good weekend and, while I know this is a cliche, stay safe.
	2:51pm still b/p: Do an extra hour...cuz I just got here.
	2:51pm geezerette: Lane,musical family,nice! coel,yes,calif.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks...didn't bave my sharpest stuff on the mound today.....still pitching a complete game.
	2:53pm coelacanth: the gov't mule show was attended by about 3 dozen people.(including children and infants) the park could support a few hundred maybe, but it's not big enough for the local july 4th fireworks. (...i thought it was a local band.)
	2:53pm geezerette: UM, you are the chairman of the board.
	2:53pm Lane Gray: It's a fine bunch of tunes
	2:53pm Dean: Wow, Babs. I was thinking earlier today of Jane Olivor, whom I need to hear again.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: When was that show, coelacanth? What year?
	2:54pm Webhamster Henry: Ah, the young Babs.
	2:55pm geezerette: Her best for sure.
	2:56pm still b/p: Even 6 or 8 years later, the orchestration and production sound of the Barbra number probably would've been different, and less appealing to my ears.
	2:56pm coelacanth: UM i don't know, but i'd guess late 80s, by where i was probably living at the time. ...does that make sense? did gov't mule exist by then?
	2:57pm Dean: Radar breast bins
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: No, they didn't form till the early '90s. I'd have liked to seen them as early as you did.
	2:58pm Lane Gray: I agree, b/p. Production matters
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks as always for the fine show, UM!!
	3:00pm Dean: Art as slob
	3:02pm coelacanth: hmm. well it could've been as late as 1995. -i wish i'd known who i was seeing. i might've hung around a little after the show.
	3:03pm coelacanth: Thanks Uncle M! Great program! i better get some work done now. ciao y'all.
	3:03pm melinda: Have a nice vacay UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 27, 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.

	12:05pm Artie Haywire: Gabriel García Márquez, and his 'Tramontana'. Favorite tale of winds.
	12:05pm joe: Tension breaker had to be done
	12:07pm doctorjazz: Hi, moving the party over here. Guess the winds didn't blow that ill...
	12:08pm Mike East: Minutemen!!! This track is the bomb
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: No mistaking this one. Hi, @UM. Glad you are not in Oz. #notacommentreAustralia
	12:09pm doctorjazz: great guitar sound! Listened a bit to Poppa Neil, maybe?
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: STEVE JAMES DOUG ARTIE JOE DOC MIKE JEFF!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Definitely feeling the storm hangover here.

	12:16pm Uncle Michael: me too. No further sightings.
	12:17pm Alex In Illinois: Folks have been singing about Liza Jane for over a century or two. In Illinois, it was: goin' down to Cairo, Goodbye Liza Jane.

	12:19pm holland oats: lurve
	12:19pm coelacanth: @Artie Haywire, "tramontana"? a García Márquez book? -short story? i'm not familiar with that one and he's one of my very favorites. {rest in peace}
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: HOLLAND!
	12:26pm Alex In Illinois: Wait, didn't you do that?
	12:28pm joe: One of my favorite Stones songs
	12:28pm Marie: Hey UM, nice set. Thankee! Have a great weekend!
	12:28pm coelacanth: i'm a bit senile, but i vaguely remember wfmu having 6-hour time-slots. (?)
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Better late than never. Good morning, Unca Michael
	12:29pm Marie: I was thinking that you sound hungover, UM.
	12:30pm Dean: My daughter, 5YO, often says, "Yeah, blah, blah, blah," to me. I've assumed she got it from a cartoon she watches via YT, but maybe she got it from Minutemen, in which case good on her.
	12:30pm Artie Haywire: @coelacanth: A short story, detailing the maddening effects of a relentless wind blowing off the mountains and down to a Med fishing village.
	12:30pm Lane Gray: What if she got it from Miri?
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: MARIE LANE DEAN!
	12:31pm Dean: I would disown her.
	12:32pm Lane Gray: Typical grup attitude
	12:33pm coelacanth: Ha, that sounds great! -and sounds like him! ...i know there's a later short stories collection i haven't read. this bumps it up on my list. Thanks!
	12:34pm joe: HEY TOMMY! pay attention would ya
	12:34pm Dean: Typical, yet highly logical.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Tommy, a rock opera about a boy with ADHD.
	12:36pm Dean: It's also about an early case of de Quervain's disease.
	12:37pm Dean: Cue the Nick Gilder.
	12:38pm Marie: GM Marquez--a truly great writer. Anyone ever read any Mario Vargas Llosa? I think he is great and he has written in some really varied styles.
	12:39pm Dean: Or Vonnegut?
	12:39pm Joe: Bummer was kind of hoping for some Joe Walsh :)
	12:40pm chromaphone: lol Joe
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Joe...good idea. I failed.
	12:41pm Mike East: Kurt Vonnegut lyrics to this Ambrosia track
	12:42pm Santos L. Halper: Woo-hoo! First day of summer (for me). Very nice indeed to be hearing you UM.
	12:42pm Parq: Yeah, prog Vonnegut. Haven't heard this in several forevers.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: SANTOS PARQ!
	12:43pm chromaphone: Glad you didn't play Hot Child in the City though. Hi
	12:44pm 67tele: yay Ambrosia - the most make-you-wanna-cry prog song this side of King Crimson's I Talk to the Wind. Arent these lyrics by Vonnegut or somebody?
	12:45pm 67tele: oh yeah i see it up there
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: CHROMAPHONE!
	12:48pm doctorjazz: Love Belle!!!!
	12:51pm joe: @67tele have to agree with you about the tear inducing effects of I Talk To The Wind
	12:51pm joe: JAM BINGE....Let's do it
	12:52pm coelacanth: i hadn't heard that in forever either...and didn't know about the cat's cradle reference. -that's another book on my list.
	12:52pm Dean: Just a week or so ago you remarked that your hammer smelled funny.
	12:53pm Dean: Start smoking. That'll kill the smell.
	12:54pm joe: Isn't that a new emo band...These Pig Shit Hands.
	12:54pm Lane Gray: Smoke clove cigarettes.... Or, because I dig H&J, smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, Drink Wrigley's Spearmint beer
	12:55pm ndbob: I hada quote from Cat's Cradle to accompany my high school yearbook photo
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: H&J, Lane?
	12:55pm coelacanth: UM, have you ever used espoma organic fertilizers? some of those have amazing staying power. just breathing the smell gets the essence stuck in my sinuses for days. ...maybe it's all psychological.
	12:56pm Mike East: My 6 yr old nephew did some modeling and ended up with his picture on a fertilizer bag.
	12:57pm chromaphone: I know nothing about the Jam or their music but that song was cool.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I only fertilize with things like fish emulsion...which smells far worse than pig shit.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: Homer and Jethro. The Billboard Song. Probably apropos to Kansas cleanup
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: Do I hear Swinging the aphabet coming on? it is Hinky. www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm Dean: My high school annual quote was from Breakfast of Champions: “He had a penis eight hundred miles long and two hundred and ten miles in diameter, but practically all of it was in the fourth dimension.”
	12:59pm coelacanth: ndbob, i quoted "the spider and i" by Brian Eno in someone's yearbook. i think it really impressed this popular, southern rock-lovin' girl, but i didn't try to ever see her again. ...what was your quote?
	1:01pm Artie Haywire: Subtle.
	1:01pm joe: @chromaphone That album is a great place to start. Go from there and just work your way forward. Paul Weller has put out some great solo albums too.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: HENRY! Nope.
	1:04pm Artie Haywire: For a more Jam-like feel, you might look for albums by Paul Collins and Gentleman Jesse. Fine power-pop.
	1:04pm chromaphone: Hey thanks Joe and Artie.
	1:05pm chromaphone: What exactly is happening in that gif? so cool.
	1:06pm coelacanth: the espoma fertilizers are primarily chicken shit mixed with chicken feathers. i have to fence off everything for a week or two because i can't keep the dogs from eating it. -yummy.
	1:06pm efd: All these years I had no idea that the Madness song was a cover.
	1:07pm efd: also, hi Uncle Michael and all! Happy to have this Friday off so I can tune in for the first time in too long.
	1:07pm Dean: Paul Collins! I saw the first The Beat album at a Goodwill last weekend.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Aren't you sposed to be woikin' EFD? Good to see you!
	1:08pm joe: Thank you EFD now I don't feel like the only one.
	1:08pm Parq: Looks like I'm seeing Todd Rundgren tonight in Newark. Saw him twice back in the day. I know from seeing videos that his voice has changed, but I'm really interested to see if he's still got it.
	1:08pm joe: Who the hell would drop the first Beat album to Good Will?
	1:09pm coelacanth: hi efd!
	1:09pm Dean: Somebody's mom?
	1:10pm Dean: Haven't seen Rundgren in ages. Caught him at the Roxy during the tour that produced Back to the Bars.
	1:11pm joe: @Parq that was going to be a last minute decision if I would go or not, but something else did come up. Hope you have a good time.
	1:12pm Parq: Haven't been to an arena show in -- this is true -- 37 years.
	1:12pm Dean: "Happily" rhymes with "Napoli." Now I've heard it all.
	1:14pm Webhamster Henry: I can almost hear "Uncle Martin's" antennae raising.
	1:15pm Parq: Blossom Dearie vs Peggy Lee -- man, I'd hate to have to make that choice.
	1:17pm 67tele: Labbi Sifre is a guy; he just has a high voice
	1:18pm coelacanth: i will forever LOVE this!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Now you tell me, Tele.
	1:20pm Parq: < cheap North Carolina jape >
	1:20pm 67tele: The Vulture is another good song of Labbi's...totally different feel
	1:20pm geezerette: Yoo-Hoo, Uncle Michael !It's midnight at the oasis, send yer camels to bed.!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: love what, coelacanth?
	1:21pm Lane Gray: The Hinky Dinky show after my anniversary, and you play one of the tracks from the wedding. Awwww
	1:22pm coelacanth: the original gypsy woman; but also i like the new tradition of hearing a version of caravan once a day.
	1:22pm listener james from westwood: I do love a good "Caravan."
	1:22pm Dean: Try Claw Hammer's traversal. It's a doozy.
	1:23pm Lane Gray: I like Mike Auldridge's Dobro version
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Did the Wilde Knights ever cover "Wild Night?"
	1:25pm ndbob: 37 years is about right for me and arena shows
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I keep calling. They never answer.
	1:26pm Dean: The aforementioned Claw Hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlDdpJj7Zxw
	1:26pm Jeff Golick: @Lane: this is also the HDT after my anniversary. Hit 18 on 5/24. My marriage can legally drink now, in some states. <marriage joke here>
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Actually, looks like the drinking age is 21 pretty much country-wide.
	1:30pm coelacanth: i have no interest in arena concerts. if i cannot see what the fingers are doing on the guitar i don't see the point. when i've attended one by someone else's decision, i (we) have found open spaces toward the back where there's no point in trying to see the band, and just danced.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I got 10th row for ZZ TOP and Gov't Mule!
	1:34pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have only been to an arena concert once. If I had a job of designing an expensive arena concert for a band, I would hire some illusionists as consultants, and design the show so that it looks like the band members frequently materialize among the stands.
	1:34pm 67tele: (unrelated to anything except rock n' roll love): has anyone seen a link to 'Western Eyes' by the fabulous and wonderful X-Teens (not Portishead)? I just wanted to hear it (after UM show is over of course) for a needed Friday uplift
	1:35pm joe: The NJ ZZ Top show is the last of Greg Allman on the tour the very next show is Gov't Mules first.
	1:36pm melinda: Hi everyone!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the beach party, melinda!
	1:36pm coelacanth: yeh, i was just thinking it's different for seated shows, if i'm close enough. all my arena shows were either general admittance, or nosebleed seats. (& i guess vip sections)
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Joe, I think there are some overlaps on the tour.
	1:37pm Parq: Coalec at 1:30, I fear that's just how it's going to be, but a good friend is offering me a ticket and I haven't seen any live music in months, so what the hey.
	1:39pm Dean: I can't find a correlation between venue size or seating location and quality of show. Cheap Trick got better the bigger the venue, for instance. I've heard Brotzmann in big venues (the arena in Victoriaville) and small (a hole in the wall in Berkeley). Both were impressive, albeit in different ways. I did enjoy sitting directly at stage center once at a Jimmy Smith show, but mostly because after I ordered a second martini, he told me to cut down on drinking.
	1:40pm melinda: My only arena concert was Bowie's Let's Dance tour, I think I was 13 and it was exciting and disappointing at the same time, because we were so far from the stage.
	1:42pm coelacanth: right, Parq. i rarely say never! i went to a monster truck show in philly a few years ago! i would never have paid for it but there were 4 of us and we made it fun.
	1:42pm Dean: Managed to catch Barclay James Harvest at Wembley many years ago, but only the last 20 minutes or so of the show. Very back, nosebleed. I was thrilled to be there.
	1:43pm 67tele: dirty combs, used condomes, Shaeffer binge, used syringe...beach party goin on
	1:45pm Dean: I so want to go to a monster truck show! Even more, drag racing: loud, smelly, visually spectacular, sheer sensory overload. Gillions of dollars blown on five seconds of technomachismo, the Platonic ideal of "waste of time." And worth every penny.
	1:45pm joe: @UM kind of bummed though because I am not a GA fan but I do really enjoy Gov't Mule and I have been dying to see ZZ top for some time now.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Tele! Excellent!
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Joe, you see more live music than any person on earth...except Dean.
	1:46pm joe: totally agree with the mostly never say never rule.
	1:47pm Dean: ...for which you can blame Bob Weir.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Why is it Bob's fault?
	1:48pm doctorjazz: This sounds like Ghost Riders Under The Sea...
	1:49pm Dean: If you factor out all those Grateful Dead shows I saw--every one of them, as I've mentioned once or twice--I've only attended an ordinary number of live shows, even fewer post-kids. (Except Zeke. Can't ever miss Zeke.)
	1:49pm joe: Yeah was kind of a choice life style change a few years back after putting so many things on hold for so long and the kid off to college was to do as much a possible.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: What's the best salmon...beef of the sea.
	1:49pm joe: @dean Zeke happens to be on my short list of bands to see
	1:49pm Dean: Leftover?
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: You're not going to answer me, are you Dean?
	1:51pm Alex In Illinois: I am singing that to my wife the next time I eat Salmon. She is not a Salmon fan. Actually, she will eat it at a restaurant or someone else's house, but can't stand the smell of it cooking in our kitchen or on our dogs breath if I give our dog a salmon skin treat.
	1:51pm joe: @Dean what state are you in (I mean state of residency not mind)?
	1:52pm Dean: @joe: Word has it there's a new album in the works. I'm hoping they'll be in town again soon, or I'll have to head to Seattle to hear them. @UM: I will, eventually.
	1:52pm Dean: @joe: California (and self-absorbed).
	1:52pm 67tele: Salmon Dave.."Hold on, I'm Spawnin'"
	1:53pm Lane Gray: Steel player repurposed the whole ride to Fat Boy Rag
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: I was thinking the same thing, Lane...no, wait...I was thinking about lunch...nevermind.
	1:55pm coelacanth: i don't go to shows just to be able to say i was there. if i'm too far away to see but subtly moving images in the distance; and the sound it just okay -as it usually is at that distance, i have other things to do...excellent local bands to see up close. there are artists i'd love to see but only if i actually can- so i plan on never seeing them. i'll live. i've been lucky many times and i'm thankful for more concert experience than most people.
	1:55pm joe: The only reason I ask is things like Groupon constantly are selling cheap tickets to things like Monster Truck and drag race. They were just offering one for over here in NJ for $4 Monster Truck
	1:56pm coelacanth: (sorry -old news now. my computer froze on the post)
	1:56pm doctorjazz: archive.org... Since YOU brought them up...stream of another concert from the Europe 72 Tour.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: Just get the Europe '72 box. The Strand show is a good one!
	1:58pm joe: I got into them during their Epitaph days but when I heard thier cover of Wrathchild I was hooked.
	1:58pm coelacanth: sloowwwww
	1:58pm doctorjazz: There was a Groupon for the ZZ Top show in NJ, wonder if it's still active.
	1:59pm doctorjazz: Does sound slow...
	2:00pm Dean: A great suggestion, joe, Groupon and the like. I first heard them in a tiny Hollywood record store--talk about close up!--when they "opened" for a buddy's band. I was blown away, and since then I try to catch them whenever possible. Acknowledging my affection for the band, my 10YO purchased "T-500" for his hand-me-down iPod.
	2:01pm doctorjazz: That's more like it...
	2:01pm Dean: Yeah, you can collect all the Dead archive issues and reissues you like, but it's not the same as being there.
	2:02pm coelacanth: where is this really from?!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I was 12. Mom wouldn't let me go.
	2:03pm coelacanth: reissue bonus track?
	2:03pm efd: is this a bonus alternate version or something?
	2:04pm doctorjazz: True, also doesn't sound like the My Aim is True version.
	2:04pm efd: looks like I owe coel a coke.
	2:05pm Santos L. Halper: @67tele: thanks for the x-teens mention, may have to go look for Western Eyes in my stacks later, it's been too long
	2:05pm coelacanth: haha! we'll split it. i like irish whiskey in mine.
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: I saw a jazz/improv show at Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday night and found it... frustrating. Smallish room, but SO MUCH TALKING. I don't fully understand the need? point? of talking throughout a perfornace in an intimate space. Like, if you want background music, feel free to listen at home.
	2:06pm Jeff Golick: Yes, I am old, why do you ask.
	2:06pm efd: A-HAAAAAA!
	2:07pm ndbob: I had salmon yesterday actually - I did see the Dead in 1970
	2:08pm Jeff Golick: Isn't "The Four Top" a restaurant term? </snarky copyediting note>
	2:08pm Dean: I can report some of the same at the Brotzmann show last week, Jeff G. Not SO MUCH, but SOME chatter while the musicians were working. And of course the requisite holding-up of phone cameras to capture stills and videos.
	2:09pm joe: @jeff golick that is a very strange shaped room. I've come to find in the NYC area many of the people who show up at shows are not there with any interest as to what is going on but want to have the ability to say they were there. I was at an acoustic show in the basement of Bowery Electric and the audience and the artist had to ask people to keep their voices down.
	2:09pm 67tele: Thanks, UM!
	2:11pm Jeff Golick: @joe: yeah, it's a weird room. Weird vibe, too. Not quite sure what it wants to be or something. And yes, agreed re NYC folks who show up simply as simply something to do -- "let's see a show" -- and aren't really there to listen. Which seems weird to me, but...I probably seem weird to them.
	2:11pm geezerette: We saw ZZ Top at The Greek Theater,which is a pretty intimate venue, GREAT SHOW!!! Also funny cause audience were mostly three generations of bikers,tattooed grandads,moms & dads and kids,(kids had transfer tats), and the adults were passing joints back and forth the whole time. Smoke thick enough to be a stage effect.
	2:12pm coelacanth: i saw the dead once. my first concert -c.1977, at madison square garden. it was an interesting study in sociology, but not interesting enough to see them again. staying home with the records and a flock of deadhead girls; smoking and maybe drinking or tripping was much more satisfying. i did see further a few times.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: No good provenance on this alleged Lee Mitchell track: www.rockabilly.nl...
	2:13pm joe: The difference is we are right :)
	2:13pm Jeff Golick: There was a dry ice machine or something on the stage at LPR. Was...uncalled for. Ok, we're getting out early for the weekend! So I'll say my goodbyes now -- and thanks, @UM!
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Jeff!
	2:17pm doctorjazz: I moved from Brooklyn to Central NJ...if you think clubs have a lot of talking in NYC, man, it can be torture seeing a show in a jazz club in NJ (the few that exist), gets me crazy, seems it would be inconvenient if you're there to talk to have to scream over the performer.
	2:17pm 67tele: the Legendary Hitchhikers...wouldn't be a half-bad band name
	2:17pm Dean: @geezerette: The Greek in Griffith Park? Definitely a fun venue. I only remember seeing Renaissance with Jean-Luc Ponty there, 1977. John Anson Ford Theater is even smaller!
	2:17pm coelacanth: i'd like to see zz top. i have seen government mule. it was a free concert in "echo lake park" in westfield nj that i happened upon while riding a bicycle through. they'd just formed i guess and i'd never heard of them. -excellent.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Gov't Mule is a great band that I've seen many, many times...so many of the songs are such downers though. That's beginning to wear. I expect to see Billy Gibbons and Warren haynes jamming and that will be great.
	2:19pm coelacanth: this song is a little bit early 'stones, a little bit early 'floyd.
	2:20pm geezerette: Dean,exactly! The Greek's called The Ford Theatre now and is about to reopen after renovation. It's a great place for Jazz.
	2:21pm Lane Gray: Love to hear Ralph, Carter and George
	2:21pm melinda: hello Stanleys.
	2:22pm Doug Schulkind: This unabashed eroticising is going great!
	2:22pm Dean: Was unaware of name change, geezerette. That'll clear up an ambiguity. I work across the street for a Greek Theater in another town. (Dylan's due here soon, as is...sitting down?...Don Henley.) We used to go to the JA Ford for classical shows, summer nights, bring a picnic.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Greek in Berkeley?
	2:25pm Marie: Love this pyano!
	2:26pm geezerette: Dean,yep,it's that time of year again! Picnics under stars & choppers listening to live music, the best! Don Henley?!!! why o why?
	2:27pm Dean: Yep. Once being dropped off at work pre-8:00 a.m. I noticed a line of folks forming for the evening's show. I wondered who it might be, so I checked the calendar. Turns out it was a young pop celeb, Ed somebody-or-other, whom my 10YO knew about. I realized (yet again) how out of it I've become. Another time I mentioned to a buddy of mine that Peter Gabriel was playing "across the street." He and I used to travel up and down the state to Gabriel shows in the early '80s. A week later I get a package in the mail from my buddy. It was CD-Rs of the show.
	2:27pm ndbob: Hi Melinda!
	2:27pm geezerette: UM,LA.
	2:28pm Dean: Yes, geezerette, but there's also one in Berkeley.
	2:31pm 67tele: this July song sounds like about 7 different Beatles songs for some reason(s)...
	2:33pm geezerette: Saw Joe Turner once. Pure happiness! Dean,good to know! Hey your buddy is very cool to do that for you.
	2:33pm Parq: Dean, there's a showcase venue near me, and kiddos often line up, sometimes much earlier in the day. I almost never have any familiarity with the bands booked there, but the marque is often fun. My favorite: "IMPENDING DOOM TUESDAY"
	2:34pm Parq: The there was the one that I figured must have been a heads-up for neighborhood birders: "FINCH WEDNESDAY".
	2:35pm geezerette: melinda,I would loved to have seen Stanley bros live.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: It's pouring rain on my ballgame.
	2:37pm coelacanth: i'd have loved to've seen Joe Turner. i liked him pretty young too. 'twas conceivably possible.
	2:37pm Dean: Just think, Parq, if that venue were hosting shows back in the '60s and if the Mamas & Papas were due to appear early in the week, the marquee would read, "'Monday, Monday' Monday!"
	2:38pm geezerette: Parq,haha! The NOT HAPPY hour.
	2:40pm Parq: Dean, grinning big here. Geez, right?
	2:41pm geezerette: coel,there's a neighborhood here called Echo Park that has a lake. Also a Westwood and a Glendale.
	2:41pm Dean: If that link to the Curley Money page is accurate and "A Little Bird Told Me" was issued in late 1958, then that comports with copyright records from the time. The song by Mackey and Brooks was copyrighted Sept. 2, '58.
	2:42pm Parq: UM, you could pair this Holsapple with Diz's "Hey Pete, Let's Eat More Meat".
	2:42pm Dean: Red Lion still there on Glendale Blvd.?
	2:43pm geezerette: Dean,good one! Can't trust that day,day,day...
	2:44pm melinda: hi bob!
	2:44pm geezerette: Dean,think so.
	2:46pm geezerette: Happy holiday UM. We're having fun BECAUSE of yourself.
	2:47pm melinda: @geezerette: I saw Ralph Stanley at the Barre Opera House in VT. It was good.
	2:48pm Lane Gray: Geezerette, I saw the Stanley Brothers at Fincastle, but I don't remember. I wasn't even two. And my dad sat in on bass so George could play guitar.
	2:48pm Dean: Man, "astrud gilberto" makes for some crazy anagrams. A sample: burglarised tot, garbled tourist, burglar dittoes, road litterbugs...
	2:48pm coelacanth: geezerette, is that ca? i discovered another one once, but i forget where it was. this one is tiny, relatively. the lake is basically a large puddle.
	2:49pm Dean: Garbed trio slut
	2:49pm geezerette: melinda,how great. Lucky! :D
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best sports.
	2:51pm Lane Gray: How so, Michael?
	2:51pm Parq: More fun than I have any right to expect from an afternoon at work, UM, and everybody. Good weekend and, while I know this is a cliche, stay safe.
	2:51pm still b/p: Do an extra hour...cuz I just got here.
	2:51pm geezerette: Lane,musical family,nice! coel,yes,calif.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks...didn't bave my sharpest stuff on the mound today.....still pitching a complete game.
	2:53pm coelacanth: the gov't mule show was attended by about 3 dozen people.(including children and infants) the park could support a few hundred maybe, but it's not big enough for the local july 4th fireworks. (...i thought it was a local band.)
	2:53pm geezerette: UM, you are the chairman of the board.
	2:53pm Lane Gray: It's a fine bunch of tunes
	2:53pm Dean: Wow, Babs. I was thinking earlier today of Jane Olivor, whom I need to hear again.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: When was that show, coelacanth? What year?
	2:54pm Webhamster Henry: Ah, the young Babs.
	2:55pm geezerette: Her best for sure.
	2:56pm still b/p: Even 6 or 8 years later, the orchestration and production sound of the Barbra number probably would've been different, and less appealing to my ears.
	2:56pm coelacanth: UM i don't know, but i'd guess late 80s, by where i was probably living at the time. ...does that make sense? did gov't mule exist by then?
	2:57pm Dean: Radar breast bins
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: No, they didn't form till the early '90s. I'd have liked to seen them as early as you did.
	2:58pm Lane Gray: I agree, b/p. Production matters
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks as always for the fine show, UM!!
	3:00pm Dean: Art as slob
	3:02pm coelacanth: hmm. well it could've been as late as 1995. -i wish i'd known who i was seeing. i might've hung around a little after the show.
	3:03pm coelacanth: Thanks Uncle M! Great program! i better get some work done now. ciao y'all.
	3:03pm melinda: Have a nice vacay UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
