Listener comments!
	8:05pm P-90: Howdy Miss, and Beckaroos ridin' the Radio Range this evenin'
	8:07pm Becky: Hey there! I hope everyone has the ballgame on mute.
	8:08pm Mailman Tom: When it's singles going steady week (it's 40 above)
	8:10pm Becky: @Mailman Tom: I'm sticking to the script, since every week is 95% singles on this program!
	8:11pm diego: Great version! What ballgame?
	8:12pm diego: That last comment was to Kittty's Cheating Heart ;)
	8:17pm Becky: Hi sweet listeners - click that there widget and help us out, won't you?
	8:21pm SeanG: Hi Becky! hope your Fall is turning out better than the summer. :-)
	8:22pm Becky: @SeanG: It's alright, thanks!
	8:26pm diego: Little Bitty Big john and Small Sad Sam.... great selections... Who spins this now? You Becky are the Queen of the obscure and tasty..... ;)
	8:28pm Marc Grobman: Hi Becky, I think you mixing two unrelated songs. “Small Sad Sam” is a line-by-line parody of Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John,” a guy who saved his fellow miners at the cost of his own life. From what I heard of “Little Bitty Big John,” there’s no relation between it and “Small Sad Sam.” Still, I’m certainly enjoying the show, especially Marty Robbins, my favorite 1950s-early ‘60s country singer. Thanks, Marc
	8:29pm Parq: Walked into the room in the middle of Hanks Thompson. What a great song! The rest of the show is up to your usual high standards, for sure.
	8:30pm Becky: Hi Marc: I think Little Bitty Big John is meant to be Big Bad John's son. There's lyrics to that effect. Thanks for listening!
	8:48pm SeanG: Charlie Rich rules!
	8:59pm Jack Scheff: great set Becky! job applyin music for me this evening
	9:11pm Marc Grobman: Hi Becky, thanks for the astute clarification on BB John, et. al. I should have been more attentive to the lyrics. Thanks, Marc
