	12:06pm mauri: howdy doody uncle michael.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: mauri!
	12:08pm Dominick: Pah-tay!
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: Well this beats the Super Bowl Shuffle by a country mile in the sports song sweepstakes.
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: (By Athletes category.)
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: How many real Globetrotters are on this is anyone's guess.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:09pm Dean: Did you make it to the new Jazz Record Mart, UM?
	12:10pm doctorjazz: Hey, going to have to run early today, but sounding great so far!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: No rekkid shoppin' Dean. Doc! Thanks.
	12:12pm V Priceless: Greets, Uncle M!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	12:17pm 67tele: mornin'
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:19pm Parq: Digging Blossom, as I always do. UM, glad you had a blast on your baseball sojourn. Good to have you back.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Parq!
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: No lie, this Wakelin cut, and your show being the first place I heard it, were the first things I thought of after I recovered from the news re: Ali. Glad to hear it today!
	12:22pm Doug Schulkind: Nice one here, Uncle Michael.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Had to!
	12:27pm Dean: Would love to learn more about stand-by favorite restaurants in Chicago. I'm going in July, taking family. Will try to visit Kuma's Corner for the heavy metal decor.
	12:28pm Parq: I regret to say, I am not familiar with "meatloafing" as baseball slang, and have been unsuccessful in googling it. Help would be welcome.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: Have you clicked on the GIF, @Dean?
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: ooops, meant @Parq!?
	12:30pm listener james from westwood: If I had to guess: getting on base but not getting to home, as per the Rizzuto bridge in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Two wins out of three games. Animate the gif!
	12:33pm doctorjazz: OK, Adios! See you in the archives.
	12:33pm Parq: Ahh. The light bulb over the head goes on.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Not a traditional baseball term...yet.
	12:39pm Jeff Golick: Do people still refer to the third game of a three-game stand in which both teams have won a game as a "rubber game?"
	12:42pm Dean: Somebody needs to explore the semiotics of meatloaf, a la Barthes. One of the crass cartoons my kids watch features a stay-at-home dad who makes an evidently inedible meatloaf at virtually every meal. It hurts me, because my meatloaf is usually pretty good.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: yep
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: That's good.
	12:48pm Parq: Just think what the effect on the world might have been if a college-age Georgie Bush had been successfully afforded a career as a rock star.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: We might have had no need for Eddie Money?
	12:56pm Dean: Num, num. Thank you! Will investigate both of those spots. I have a friend who is pretty damn good at replicating secret recipes. Problem is he's here on the west coast, not heading to Chicago any time soon. Just saw this in Saveur: http://www.saveur.com/picchiapo-roman-italian-braised-beef-recipe Same as Italian beef?
	1:02pm Dominick: Thanks for this!
	1:05pm annie: bob and ray.... so gd funny
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's decidedly different!
	1:07pm ndbob: great one here!
	1:08pm ndbob: I think some Jan and Dean involvement here?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: google that!
	1:10pm chromaphone: Trying to think of a squarer band than the Free Design... maybe The Beach Boys when Mike Love sang lead?
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Except...GOOD!
	1:11pm Dominick: @chromaphone - Up With People!
	1:11pm V Priceless: haha - was just listening to 'ol Neil this morning...brilliant!
	1:12pm ndbob: ah half right - jan berry is on it
	1:13pm Dominick: Dr. Love can rock with the best of them www.youtube.com...
	1:14pm Dominick: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:16pm holland oats: yolo hinkies
	1:19pm Parq: Dan Quayle though the Free Design were cool, but I don't hold that against them. They have a lovely segment in Mitchell Kezin's documentary about not-quite-mainstream Christmas music.
	1:19pm Mike East: huh...Ring of Fire hook came into my head completely at random this morning. Haven't heard this song in quite a while.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Welcome all you recent arrivals!
	1:20pm chromaphone: Will check it Dominick. Now I'm remembering how rockin' the Beach Boys Live in London lp that my Dad used to play was too.
	1:26pm Rich in Washington: Is this the 'sit on a sandwich' Brute Force?
	1:26pm ndbob: Always amazed me that this is from 1967
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: Me too ndbob, I didn't know Brute Force went back that far.
	1:28pm holland oats: omg that cudd'ly
	1:30pm chromaphone: I remember singing Up with People in 3rd grade or thereabouts school chorus. Is Up With People a band?
	1:33pm Dominick: Brute was a member of the Tokens in the mid 60's
	1:34pm Parq: Little bit of "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" in that song that Norvo and Co. were essaying, no?
	1:34pm chromaphone: Ok you're right Dom, Mike Love really rocks out sometimes. thanks for the link.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: I agree, Parq. I hear it.
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: I recall some anecdote about the making of Love and Mercy (possibly apocryphal) wherein some Hollywood wag wonders if they can find a big enough asshole to play Mike Love.
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: Bilbo was a member of the Tolkiens in the 60s, too.
	1:38pm chromaphone: I look forward to checking out more Free Design on your recommendation UM. There is something about these groups with the big white vocal arrangements that tend to still sound square to me.
	1:40pm Dominick: Brute still plays an occasional gig. Saw him a little over a year ago.
	1:45pm listener james from westwood: Ooohh, this "Riders" is a good 'un, I can tell just from the intro.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I'll be playing this song tomorrow morning at an outdoor town fest with my wife on vocals :)
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Don't mean a thang if it ain't got that twang!
	1:46pm ndbob: Neil Levang was good
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Ennio! Speaking of that twang!!
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: Kick-kick-kicking myself for over a decade for not seeing Morricone when he performed in NYC back around 2003ish.
	1:50pm burke: Funny: I just murdered a breaded steak from Johnny O's on 35th Street...but now I wish I got a beef.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: that'd have been pretty cool
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: A beef; it's what's for dinner.
	1:53pm Dean: Adding Johnny O's on 35th to the list...
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Gonna be south of the Loop, Dean?
	1:55pm Dean: No. On the Loop. But w/ family I want to figure ways to get out and away (namely, from conference I'll be attending).
	1:56pm burke: I wouldn't call Johnny O's a dining destination. But if you're catching a Sox game it's not a bad choice.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Ah...you'll need to have a proper gyros in Chicago.
	1:58pm burke: Not sure how UM feels about professional baseball on the OTHER side of town :-)
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: You call that baseball? How's Shields working out?
	2:00pm Dean: Do tell. None of the places near me here has a "best" gyro, I'm afraid. Might be better places in SF. Won't have a car in Chicago, so we'll use the public transit, which is how we get around 1/3 of the time around here, anyway. When I travel solo I look for dining destinations, where that means "nice" restaurants. Too hard/$$$$ with young kids. Judging from the menu, the kids would love Johnny O's.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm not up on where the best gyros places are in a given area these days. Burke?
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I'd google best gyros in chicago and see which places are near to your lodging.
	2:03pm burke: He's reminding me a little of Lester's first months with the Cubs. Ha!
	2:04pm burke: Al's Beef is a local chain with a prototypical Chicago fast food menu.
	2:06pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of umlauts and gyros, where, regionally in the US is Döner kebabs a thing?
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Is that a Kohler engine you are using?
	2:09pm Dean: Goddamn, I'm hungry. I don't mind looking like a tourist. Do the waiters at these restaurants recommend appropriate wines to go with the "beef"?
	2:09pm Rich in Washington: There was this cheesy chain franchise around here that did döner sandwiches but they were literally like a Kronos restaurant in Teutonic drag. Old German flags everywhere. Meat was virtually identical to that whirling monstrosity found in those generic Gyros joints, sans the tdziki sauce, feta. Is this a thing in the US?
	2:10pm 67tele: 'Kites Are Fun' by Free Design - wow simply wow
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Waiters? heh. Yes, Brian.
	2:13pm Dean: Looks like Greektown is relatively close, at least a couple good options.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Greektown is GREAT but go there for sit-down Greek food. Get the gyros from a more modest location.
	2:16pm Dean: Good idea. At this rate my family will be dining about seven times per day.
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: They're playing my song.
	2:18pm Rich in Washington: Dammit. Now I really want a gyros.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: The gyros will be good there...but you'll want to order different things. Greek Islands was always our go-to but there are other good places. Saganaki is delicious...not just a show.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: Not a single Greek restaurant in my neighborhood - lots of crap gyros joints or places that make 'em, but our last, rather lackluster Greek joint closed a couple of years ago.
	2:20pm chromaphone: I would want a gyro if I hadn't just eaten 2 huge slices of macaroni and cheese bacon pizza.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: And the thing is, Chicago is a great restaurant town...but we're just talking about the local staples...and we haven't discussed pizza.
	2:22pm Parq: Rich -- opposite problem here. Greek restaurants, seeking four-star status, with opulent facilities filled with super-rich millennials throwing back overpriced cocktails and talking too loud.
	2:26pm Dean: The LA area used to have Papadakis Taverna, famous (or notorious) for being the site where USC's football team recruited players. I went there only once when I was a kid, ill-equipped to judge the fare. I vaguely recall the smashing of dishes.
	2:28pm Stevel: Great Japanese place at Clark and Polk. Decent fancy-beer bar about two blocks north, Villians.
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: I may be in Chicago in the next 2 years, so these points will prove very helpful. Was there for a few too-brief days many moons ago, but went with business colleagues with very bland tastes and therefore didn't eat anywhere interesting.
	🛒 2:37pm Brian in UK: @james that's the thing with going out in a group, it is lowest common demominator.
	2:40pm Stevel: Also, on Michigan Ave. a place called The Gauge. Very busy at lunch, but that's because its great. Fanicer, for working types, meeting clients, etc. Excellent food and service. $13-$25 entres at lunch.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Great bowl of matzoh ball soup at Frances' on north Clark...
	2:42pm burke: Speaking of the south side! Let's hear it for Howlin
	2:42pm burke: Howlin' beef
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I gotta go the museum at the old Chess studios one of these days.
	2:48pm Dean: Man, that Gage has an 18oz bone-in ribeye for sixty bucks at dinner! I really love a good steak at a good restaurant. (Still dreaming of that Porterhouse at Tanino in Westwood...) But cripes, I can't deal with the price and, often, the volume. I once dined solo at Peter Luger's, where there was precisely one steak that a mere individual could reasonably consume. But I bet that Gage ribeye is good.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: Sharing a t-bone is for sure the way to go at Peter Luger.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: Of course, leftover are nice, too. We never seem to have any.
	2:50pm chromaphone: Thanks for the sweet tunes UM!
	2:51pm Parq: DOUBLE clickie-star for "Cat".
	2:51pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:51pm Parq: That string passage just kills me every time.
	2:51pm Dean: Leftovers work when you're near home. They're hard to deal with in a hotel room. Guilty pleasure, this Al Stewart. When it was a hit it aired every fifteen minutes. Not enough to wear it out, though.
	2:51pm listener james from westwood: Agreed, Parq!!
	2:52pm Stevel: Hey, I wonder if the Chess museum is open on Saturday's. I'll be within ten blocks or less. Still love Year of the Cat. PHIL KENZIE, PHIL KENZIE!!
	2:52pm Parq: I'm even okay with the obligatory sax break. It was the 70s, after all.
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: Unmistakable voice. Favourite album is Past, Present and Future'.
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: 2013 was the Year of Grumpy Cat
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Uncle. Good weekend, y'all. Off for a po-boy cauliflower cheese.
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: I had the sheet music for "Yeah of the Cat" as a wee piano playing lad. Also, "She's Got a Way." Also Joe Jackson's "Night and Day" album.
	2:55pm Dean: Buddy of mine hired Al Stewart to play his 50th birthday. I wonder if Diamanda Galas would consider playing my 60th?
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: "Yeah" is of course "year," in Massachusettsese.
	2:56pm Dean: There's some uncertainty as to how and precisely when Peter Wood, co-writer of YOTC, left us.
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Frank cannot resist a little yodel.
	2:57pm chromaphone: I remember being a wee lad and when Year of the Cat kept coming on the radio thinking "that singer sounds weird".
	2:58pm Stevel: So, does this mean you're really leaving?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: For real.
	2:58pm Stevel: [looks at the ground.]
	2:59pm Parq: Wait, did I miss something? LEAVING leaving?
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: I lied.
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: That's my boy, Johnnie Ray!
	3:01pm Stevel: Geeze, apparently!
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, UM!!
	3:03pm Stevel: Migrate pleasure. Don't mind me, just free associating.
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Bye!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone...see youse next time!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 10, 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 mauri: howdy doody uncle michael.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: mauri!
	12:08pm Dominick: Pah-tay!
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: Well this beats the Super Bowl Shuffle by a country mile in the sports song sweepstakes.
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: (By Athletes category.)
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: How many real Globetrotters are on this is anyone's guess.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:09pm Dean: Did you make it to the new Jazz Record Mart, UM?
	12:10pm doctorjazz: Hey, going to have to run early today, but sounding great so far!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: No rekkid shoppin' Dean. Doc! Thanks.
	12:12pm V Priceless: Greets, Uncle M!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	12:17pm 67tele: mornin'
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:19pm Parq: Digging Blossom, as I always do. UM, glad you had a blast on your baseball sojourn. Good to have you back.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Parq!
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: No lie, this Wakelin cut, and your show being the first place I heard it, were the first things I thought of after I recovered from the news re: Ali. Glad to hear it today!
	12:22pm Doug Schulkind: Nice one here, Uncle Michael.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Had to!
	12:27pm Dean: Would love to learn more about stand-by favorite restaurants in Chicago. I'm going in July, taking family. Will try to visit Kuma's Corner for the heavy metal decor.
	12:28pm Parq: I regret to say, I am not familiar with "meatloafing" as baseball slang, and have been unsuccessful in googling it. Help would be welcome.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: Have you clicked on the GIF, @Dean?
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: ooops, meant @Parq!?
	12:30pm listener james from westwood: If I had to guess: getting on base but not getting to home, as per the Rizzuto bridge in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Two wins out of three games. Animate the gif!
	12:33pm doctorjazz: OK, Adios! See you in the archives.
	12:33pm Parq: Ahh. The light bulb over the head goes on.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Not a traditional baseball term...yet.
	12:39pm Jeff Golick: Do people still refer to the third game of a three-game stand in which both teams have won a game as a "rubber game?"
	12:42pm Dean: Somebody needs to explore the semiotics of meatloaf, a la Barthes. One of the crass cartoons my kids watch features a stay-at-home dad who makes an evidently inedible meatloaf at virtually every meal. It hurts me, because my meatloaf is usually pretty good.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: yep
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: That's good.
	12:48pm Parq: Just think what the effect on the world might have been if a college-age Georgie Bush had been successfully afforded a career as a rock star.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: We might have had no need for Eddie Money?
	12:56pm Dean: Num, num. Thank you! Will investigate both of those spots. I have a friend who is pretty damn good at replicating secret recipes. Problem is he's here on the west coast, not heading to Chicago any time soon. Just saw this in Saveur: http://www.saveur.com/picchiapo-roman-italian-braised-beef-recipe Same as Italian beef?
	1:02pm Dominick: Thanks for this!
	1:05pm annie: bob and ray.... so gd funny
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's decidedly different!
	1:07pm ndbob: great one here!
	1:08pm ndbob: I think some Jan and Dean involvement here?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: google that!
	1:10pm chromaphone: Trying to think of a squarer band than the Free Design... maybe The Beach Boys when Mike Love sang lead?
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Except...GOOD!
	1:11pm Dominick: @chromaphone - Up With People!
	1:11pm V Priceless: haha - was just listening to 'ol Neil this morning...brilliant!
	1:12pm ndbob: ah half right - jan berry is on it
	1:13pm Dominick: Dr. Love can rock with the best of them www.youtube.com...
	1:14pm Dominick: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:16pm holland oats: yolo hinkies
	1:19pm Parq: Dan Quayle though the Free Design were cool, but I don't hold that against them. They have a lovely segment in Mitchell Kezin's documentary about not-quite-mainstream Christmas music.
	1:19pm Mike East: huh...Ring of Fire hook came into my head completely at random this morning. Haven't heard this song in quite a while.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Welcome all you recent arrivals!
	1:20pm chromaphone: Will check it Dominick. Now I'm remembering how rockin' the Beach Boys Live in London lp that my Dad used to play was too.
	1:26pm Rich in Washington: Is this the 'sit on a sandwich' Brute Force?
	1:26pm ndbob: Always amazed me that this is from 1967
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: Me too ndbob, I didn't know Brute Force went back that far.
	1:28pm holland oats: omg that cudd'ly
	1:30pm chromaphone: I remember singing Up with People in 3rd grade or thereabouts school chorus. Is Up With People a band?
	1:33pm Dominick: Brute was a member of the Tokens in the mid 60's
	1:34pm Parq: Little bit of "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" in that song that Norvo and Co. were essaying, no?
	1:34pm chromaphone: Ok you're right Dom, Mike Love really rocks out sometimes. thanks for the link.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: I agree, Parq. I hear it.
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: I recall some anecdote about the making of Love and Mercy (possibly apocryphal) wherein some Hollywood wag wonders if they can find a big enough asshole to play Mike Love.
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: Bilbo was a member of the Tolkiens in the 60s, too.
	1:38pm chromaphone: I look forward to checking out more Free Design on your recommendation UM. There is something about these groups with the big white vocal arrangements that tend to still sound square to me.
	1:40pm Dominick: Brute still plays an occasional gig. Saw him a little over a year ago.
	1:45pm listener james from westwood: Ooohh, this "Riders" is a good 'un, I can tell just from the intro.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I'll be playing this song tomorrow morning at an outdoor town fest with my wife on vocals :)
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Don't mean a thang if it ain't got that twang!
	1:46pm ndbob: Neil Levang was good
	1:46pm listener james from westwood: Ennio! Speaking of that twang!!
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: Kick-kick-kicking myself for over a decade for not seeing Morricone when he performed in NYC back around 2003ish.
	1:50pm burke: Funny: I just murdered a breaded steak from Johnny O's on 35th Street...but now I wish I got a beef.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: that'd have been pretty cool
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: A beef; it's what's for dinner.
	1:53pm Dean: Adding Johnny O's on 35th to the list...
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Gonna be south of the Loop, Dean?
	1:55pm Dean: No. On the Loop. But w/ family I want to figure ways to get out and away (namely, from conference I'll be attending).
	1:56pm burke: I wouldn't call Johnny O's a dining destination. But if you're catching a Sox game it's not a bad choice.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Ah...you'll need to have a proper gyros in Chicago.
	1:58pm burke: Not sure how UM feels about professional baseball on the OTHER side of town :-)
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: You call that baseball? How's Shields working out?
	2:00pm Dean: Do tell. None of the places near me here has a "best" gyro, I'm afraid. Might be better places in SF. Won't have a car in Chicago, so we'll use the public transit, which is how we get around 1/3 of the time around here, anyway. When I travel solo I look for dining destinations, where that means "nice" restaurants. Too hard/$$$$ with young kids. Judging from the menu, the kids would love Johnny O's.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm not up on where the best gyros places are in a given area these days. Burke?
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I'd google best gyros in chicago and see which places are near to your lodging.
	2:03pm burke: He's reminding me a little of Lester's first months with the Cubs. Ha!
	2:04pm burke: Al's Beef is a local chain with a prototypical Chicago fast food menu.
	2:06pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of umlauts and gyros, where, regionally in the US is Döner kebabs a thing?
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Is that a Kohler engine you are using?
	2:09pm Dean: Goddamn, I'm hungry. I don't mind looking like a tourist. Do the waiters at these restaurants recommend appropriate wines to go with the "beef"?
	2:09pm Rich in Washington: There was this cheesy chain franchise around here that did döner sandwiches but they were literally like a Kronos restaurant in Teutonic drag. Old German flags everywhere. Meat was virtually identical to that whirling monstrosity found in those generic Gyros joints, sans the tdziki sauce, feta. Is this a thing in the US?
	2:10pm 67tele: 'Kites Are Fun' by Free Design - wow simply wow
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Waiters? heh. Yes, Brian.
	2:13pm Dean: Looks like Greektown is relatively close, at least a couple good options.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Greektown is GREAT but go there for sit-down Greek food. Get the gyros from a more modest location.
	2:16pm Dean: Good idea. At this rate my family will be dining about seven times per day.
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: They're playing my song.
	2:18pm Rich in Washington: Dammit. Now I really want a gyros.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: The gyros will be good there...but you'll want to order different things. Greek Islands was always our go-to but there are other good places. Saganaki is delicious...not just a show.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: Not a single Greek restaurant in my neighborhood - lots of crap gyros joints or places that make 'em, but our last, rather lackluster Greek joint closed a couple of years ago.
	2:20pm chromaphone: I would want a gyro if I hadn't just eaten 2 huge slices of macaroni and cheese bacon pizza.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: And the thing is, Chicago is a great restaurant town...but we're just talking about the local staples...and we haven't discussed pizza.
	2:22pm Parq: Rich -- opposite problem here. Greek restaurants, seeking four-star status, with opulent facilities filled with super-rich millennials throwing back overpriced cocktails and talking too loud.
	2:26pm Dean: The LA area used to have Papadakis Taverna, famous (or notorious) for being the site where USC's football team recruited players. I went there only once when I was a kid, ill-equipped to judge the fare. I vaguely recall the smashing of dishes.
	2:28pm Stevel: Great Japanese place at Clark and Polk. Decent fancy-beer bar about two blocks north, Villians.
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: I may be in Chicago in the next 2 years, so these points will prove very helpful. Was there for a few too-brief days many moons ago, but went with business colleagues with very bland tastes and therefore didn't eat anywhere interesting.
	🛒 2:37pm Brian in UK: @james that's the thing with going out in a group, it is lowest common demominator.
	2:40pm Stevel: Also, on Michigan Ave. a place called The Gauge. Very busy at lunch, but that's because its great. Fanicer, for working types, meeting clients, etc. Excellent food and service. $13-$25 entres at lunch.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Great bowl of matzoh ball soup at Frances' on north Clark...
	2:42pm burke: Speaking of the south side! Let's hear it for Howlin
	2:42pm burke: Howlin' beef
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I gotta go the museum at the old Chess studios one of these days.
	2:48pm Dean: Man, that Gage has an 18oz bone-in ribeye for sixty bucks at dinner! I really love a good steak at a good restaurant. (Still dreaming of that Porterhouse at Tanino in Westwood...) But cripes, I can't deal with the price and, often, the volume. I once dined solo at Peter Luger's, where there was precisely one steak that a mere individual could reasonably consume. But I bet that Gage ribeye is good.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: Sharing a t-bone is for sure the way to go at Peter Luger.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: Of course, leftover are nice, too. We never seem to have any.
	2:50pm chromaphone: Thanks for the sweet tunes UM!
	2:51pm Parq: DOUBLE clickie-star for "Cat".
	2:51pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:51pm Parq: That string passage just kills me every time.
	2:51pm Dean: Leftovers work when you're near home. They're hard to deal with in a hotel room. Guilty pleasure, this Al Stewart. When it was a hit it aired every fifteen minutes. Not enough to wear it out, though.
	2:51pm listener james from westwood: Agreed, Parq!!
	2:52pm Stevel: Hey, I wonder if the Chess museum is open on Saturday's. I'll be within ten blocks or less. Still love Year of the Cat. PHIL KENZIE, PHIL KENZIE!!
	2:52pm Parq: I'm even okay with the obligatory sax break. It was the 70s, after all.
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: Unmistakable voice. Favourite album is Past, Present and Future'.
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: 2013 was the Year of Grumpy Cat
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Uncle. Good weekend, y'all. Off for a po-boy cauliflower cheese.
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: I had the sheet music for "Yeah of the Cat" as a wee piano playing lad. Also, "She's Got a Way." Also Joe Jackson's "Night and Day" album.
	2:55pm Dean: Buddy of mine hired Al Stewart to play his 50th birthday. I wonder if Diamanda Galas would consider playing my 60th?
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: "Yeah" is of course "year," in Massachusettsese.
	2:56pm Dean: There's some uncertainty as to how and precisely when Peter Wood, co-writer of YOTC, left us.
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Frank cannot resist a little yodel.
	2:57pm chromaphone: I remember being a wee lad and when Year of the Cat kept coming on the radio thinking "that singer sounds weird".
	2:58pm Stevel: So, does this mean you're really leaving?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: For real.
	2:58pm Stevel: [looks at the ground.]
	2:59pm Parq: Wait, did I miss something? LEAVING leaving?
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: I lied.
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: That's my boy, Johnnie Ray!
	3:01pm Stevel: Geeze, apparently!
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, UM!!
	3:03pm Stevel: Migrate pleasure. Don't mind me, just free associating.
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Bye!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone...see youse next time!
