	♥ 3:16pm listener james from westwood: Can't go wrong with Ella and the Great American Songbook!
	♥ 3:16pm Adrian in London: @djsheilab Frankly, having segued Eartheater into TATU you might as well take the rest of the show off! Your work is done!
	3:18pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London Haha! You handed me a gem with that Eartheater track.
	3:22pm JasonInBoston: CURT BOETTCHER! MY MAN!
	3:23pm Whooda: Just dropped in to see what condition my condition is in DJ Sophisticated Boom Boom Shelia. Sounds like I have a 'female' condition.
	3:27pm jerry h.: hello djsheilab and gang. we missed your musical presence last week. Great to have you here again!
	♥ 3:32pm geegee vindaloo: Hi Sheila anyone listening to Kay Starr? Any tributes?
	3:33pm JasonInBoston: David Mancuso is a LEGEND!
	3:33pm modchick65: Hi Sheila, did you see that article about how the best sound system in NYC is at the bumper cars in Coney Island? It was set up by a DJ in the 70s... very well might have been that guy. There's an NYTimes article about it from a year or so ago.
	3:34pm JakeGould: Sound in NYC is such crap. It's like everyone fours to Guitar Center, get basic crap and put them on this poles and then call it a day.
	3:35pm bill: was it tubes or solid state
	3:35pm JakeGould: Yes! The El Dorado bumper cars have an amazing sound system.
	3:35pm modchick65: I'm excited about a place to listen to music in NYC where no one talks.
	3:35pm JtotheK: Was just thinking of that Love Saves the Day book...I still have to read it. Author has a new book out recently I think 80-83 ish music focus...
	3:36pm JasonInBoston: YES! You got Curt's name right.
	3:37pm jerry h.: I read that article also and thought the whole concept was long overdue. I agree with mod chick. Also there was a remark about how much sound is missing from the earbuds that everyone craves.
	3:38pm Cliff in Prague: Ken seems to like those female Russian musicians, huh.
	3:41pm JakeGould: FWIW, there was some guy in Willets Point in Queens who built his own sound system in a van. He'd drive it to empty lots, open up the back and then... Party! But I read about him when he got busted. So hey.
	3:41pm djsheilab: Here is the link to the Times article: www.nytimes.com...
	3:41pm modchick65: One of the two things that I wish I could get back in my life was my dad's 1960s Zenith stereo console. (He got rid of it in the 90s). Apart from being Danish Modern Gorgeous, it had the warmest sound I've ever heard. Records sounded AMAZING. Growing up listening to that, I just thought that was how records/vinyl sounded. My turntable now sure doesn't sound like that. Nothing does. I would give anything for that stereo.
	3:43pm modchick65: I have such a Sam Cooke crush.
	♥ 3:44pm Summer and Michael: Holy cow, that Springtime Carnivore track was amazing, Sheila! Great show, as ever. We love you!
	♥ 3:44pm geegee vindaloo: Here's the Kay Starr Obit: www.nytimes.com...
	3:46pm JtotheK: dig this Gloria Lynne!
	3:51pm JakeGould: Versus! Yes!
	3:51pm MONEYBAG$: Mid-90s malaise forever!
	♥ 3:52pm Adrian in London: Oh yeah, Versus. I'd forgotten about them.
	3:53pm jerry h.: djsheilab_ I know that you are a Sarah Vaughn fan and thought that you would really enjoy her version of "Peter Gunn". It's Sarah at her "sassiest". If you've never heard it you"re missing out on a true gem!
	♥ 3:53pm Adrian in London: Googles Ha, yes, of course, they featured the marvellously named Fontaine Toups!
	3:55pm Marshall Stacks: Nice to know there are at least 2 others that know and enjoy Versus.
	3:59pm MONEYBAG$: I have many Versus t-shirts that are too big to wear now because The 90s
	4:00pm JasonInBoston: I LOVE vERsuS! I may want the shirts!
	4:00pm Cliff in Prague: I also approve of Versus
	4:01pm djsheilab: Woo Hoo! BIG love for Versus. One of the first bands I saw at CBGBs. I was in AWE. Xo
	4:02pm Cooh John: Good afternoon djsheilab and fellow boomers. Jumping in on a nice mellow track.
	4:04pm Eye_Eye: dang i missed tatu!! :/
	4:05pm Rob Kopp: Missed the first hour. It's already wintertime in NL :-(
	4:06pm The Contessa: Dancing to this one. Slowly…
	4:08pm Eye_Eye: it's basically wintertime here in NJ. a little warmer during the day, but cold nights.
	4:10pm modchick65: Remember Air Miami?
	4:11pm Eye_Eye: now i'm interested in this "Versus" everyone is talking about.
	4:11pm P-90: Kim's...gone now, like Bleecker Bob's and so many others
	4:12pm MONEYBAG$: Never saw Air Miami, that was the one Mark Robinson band that eluded me
	4:12pm Cliff in Prague: Oh Sheila, I can tell this next track is going to bring out all the feels
	4:13pm JakeGould: I'm happy it's a sunny day when we hear this sad tune.
	4:13pm modchick65: I saw them at CMJ in 1995. They passed out 45rpms of one of their songs, and I really liked it at the time (which was odd and exciting for me, because I didn't like music from the US in the '90s). Listened to it again recently and wasn't really into it.
	4:18pm The Contessa: Love these sad songs
	4:21pm Cliff in Prague: Well that was properly devastating
	♥ 4:21pm Sem Chumbo: Hey, Sheila B., spinning quite a web today;-). Wonderful.
	4:23pm famous original nastywolf: I wish I knew where my Air Miami shirt was, it had Lyle Lyle crocodile on it
	4:23pm djsheilab: Just want to remind folks listening that we are still running our silent fundraiser in hopes of raising more funds to keep us up n' thriving through the winter. For those who donated, BIG thanks! For those who'd like to extend a hand, please visit: http:/wfmu.org/pledge THANXXXXXX!!!
	4:24pm modchick65: @famous original nastywolf - I just remember a graphic with a carton of milk. Does that sound right?
	4:24pm famous original nastywolf: Also, you played one of my most favoritest songs!!!! "Got no one to comb my hair for" lol
	4:25pm djsheilab: And of course I ask for your donations right when I play Bon Jovi. Doh!
	4:25pm Cliff in Prague: Bon Jovi. I love it
	4:25pm modchick65: Ha. This was the only Bon Jovi song I ever liked.
	♥ 4:26pm listener james from westwood: Early 80s metal FTW!
	4:26pm modchick65: My old boss was the executive producer on the Bon Jovi records.
	4:26pm Cliff in Prague: The video for "Livin' on a Prayer" completely blew my little 8-year-old mind. "They're flying through the air!?!"
	♥ 4:29pm Joe McG: Bon Jovi into Ohio Express is genius, Sheila B.
	♥ 4:29pm Sem Chumbo: Sugar binge flashback. Good God, hahaha!
	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks @Joe McG! Oddly makes sense, right?
	4:30pm jerry h.: Fantastic choices today . What a mix!
	4:34pm bill: I have a general question, maybe some of you know--do FMU DJs have these massive, massive collections, or are they drawing mainly from the library???
	4:37pm The Contessa: Loving the lyrics to this one. Ha ha.
	4:37pm djsheilab: @bill It really depends on the DJ. I pull 95% of my music from my collection. But some DJs are the opposite and pull everything from the library.
	♥ 4:38pm Mick: This is amazing!
	4:39pm JakeGould: phffftt elBObO likes the movie "Ghost." What happened? Goodwill ran out of copies of "Jerry McGuire" on VHS?
	4:39pm geezerette: hahaha :)
	♥ 4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: @bill - Some DJs also utilize the Free Music Archive. Liz Berg features that source quite a bit.
	4:40pm bill: thanks=--i'm a big fan and you sound like a really nice person s helia
	4:41pm bill: i just ask because, some DJ's have been there 20, 30 years, so you're talking astronomical amounts of music--take gaylord for example
	4:43pm JakeGould: Gaylord's musical knowledge and wit can make a computer explode. Such knowledge.
	4:43pm modchick65: OOOH. I was so hoping you would talk about the Lollipops.
	4:44pm Rob Kopp: The Lollipops who did Busy signal?
	♥ 4:46pm chris: that's so cool, sheilab! thanks for being awesome.
	4:46pm bill: sure. .well. i think music people (me too) are really obsessive people record collecting can be mildly pathological
	4:47pm geezerette: Sheila you are so sweet. Love your enthusiasm.
	4:47pm modchick65: Love stories like that. So much. @djsheilab... Have you heard Smoky & His Sister? There's a compilation on Spotify (that's better than the 1 LP they released back in the day). It's a gorgeous record, and there's all this mystery about who they are. Love the rock and roll mysteries.
	4:47pm Darian: Shiela...this Lollipops story just melts my heart. You are doing the work of an angel.
	4:50pm Matt M: Always loved this Boyd Sisters record - no wonder now considering who they actually were! :)
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: Brilliantly covered in French by Gillian Hills as Tut tut tut tut
	4:53pm JtotheK: someday I will find a 'busy signal' 45... love it! Thanks SheilaB!
	4:53pm JakeGould: Bravo! What a "dut dut dut" transition.
	♥ 4:54pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 The Smokey & His Sister record is so good and so sad his sister wasn't around for the re-release and to be acknowledged with praise. Gaylord often plays tracks from the album.
	4:56pm jerry h.: Love all this 60s music. The best decade for all music!
	4:57pm georgesimian: Another awesome show from Sheila B.!
	4:58pm Rob Kopp: Rentre sans moi from that Gillan Hills EP is also a great cover: of Leave me be by The Zombies
	♥ 5:01pm listener james from westwood: Neneh!
	5:02pm MONEYBAG$: gathering of the gigolos
	♥ 5:02pm AndyIowa: Superb playlist as always, Sheila! That Utada Hikaru track was stunning!
	5:03pm northguineahills: I like how Neneh Cherry has been playing w/ the Thing lately...
	5:08pm djsheilab: Thanks for all the kind words on today's show. I LOVE PLAYING RECORDS FOR YOU!!!!!
	♥ 5:12pm AndyIowa: Just pledged. Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for the music. ❤️
	5:14pm dc pat: I made out with Neneh Cherry once... well she looked like Neneh Cherry
	♥ 5:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: And 99.9% of us love hearing them!
	5:16pm modchick65: @Adrian In London -- Yes, I found what little information there was re: Smokey & His Sister on the internet and was sad to hear that she had passed before receiving recognition for that beautiful record. So sad. But so happy Smokey survived to see it. What a story. I love stuff like that.
	5:17pm modchick65: Wishing there was a ShBoom tonight.
	5:17pm georgesimian: People should know not to call me during Sophisticated Boom Boom.
	5:18pm djsheilab: @AndyIowa Thanks for pledging!
	5:22pm P-90: @modchick: I wish it was a Sh-Boom night too!
	♥ 5:23pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 From memory, and it's in a box in the cupboard, I thin there are comprehensive liner notes in the CD.
	5:24pm JoeG: Glad you're back, djsheila...nowhere else can i derive as much calming enjoyment in a contiguous 3-hour time period than right here. Cheers!
	5:26pm outofluck70: I know this is late to the party, but loved the Crazy Eddie/Nobody Beats the Wiz reference. "I'm the wiz! I'm the wiz! Nobody beats me!"
	♥ 5:31pm listener james from westwood: IIRC the founder of Crazy Eddie died this year. All I could hear in my head upon reading the news was those old ads!
	5:32pm jerry h.: Jorge Ben! never tire of his voice.
	♥ 5:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just this morning, I spotted my Crazy Eddie wallet on the shelf in the laundry room.
	5:39pm georgesimian: The album cover may be sexier than the song. I swear her eyes follow you around. And the lettering is so cool.
	♥ 5:44pm listener james from westwood: Jason King was the series with Peter Wyngarde, wasn't it?
	5:45pm jerry h.: Awesome ! Laurie Johnson- just the tip of the iceberg here!
	♥ 5:45pm Listener Wolfgang: it was and it ruled!
	♥ 5:45pm Sem Chumbo: This is a pure marvel, SheilaB.Thanks so much for this afternoons spins, been great. See you next time for sure.
	5:45pm Stevel: The Jason King Theme is crazy groovy. Lush plus ten.
	5:48pm jerry h.: Thank You djsheilab for today"s Music Seminar. Every week is indeed a learning experience. Great Show!!!

	5:52pm P-90: SBB: All killer and no filler!
	5:52pm nick26: I'm glad you finally got your copy of Fantome! I'm really enjoying mine! And thanks for playng her mom, Keiko Fuji. Maybe next week, Michi? [That one's a bit more upbeat] Thanks.

	3:35pm bill: was it tubes or solid state
	3:35pm JakeGould: Yes! The El Dorado bumper cars have an amazing sound system.
	3:35pm modchick65: I'm excited about a place to listen to music in NYC where no one talks.
	3:35pm JtotheK: Was just thinking of that Love Saves the Day book...I still have to read it. Author has a new book out recently I think 80-83 ish music focus...
	3:36pm JasonInBoston: YES! You got Curt's name right.
	3:37pm jerry h.: I read that article also and thought the whole concept was long overdue. I agree with mod chick. Also there was a remark about how much sound is missing from the earbuds that everyone craves.
	3:38pm Cliff in Prague: Ken seems to like those female Russian musicians, huh.
	3:41pm JakeGould: FWIW, there was some guy in Willets Point in Queens who built his own sound system in a van. He'd drive it to empty lots, open up the back and then... Party! But I read about him when he got busted. So hey.
	3:41pm djsheilab: Here is the link to the Times article: www.nytimes.com...
	3:41pm modchick65: One of the two things that I wish I could get back in my life was my dad's 1960s Zenith stereo console. (He got rid of it in the 90s). Apart from being Danish Modern Gorgeous, it had the warmest sound I've ever heard. Records sounded AMAZING. Growing up listening to that, I just thought that was how records/vinyl sounded. My turntable now sure doesn't sound like that. Nothing does. I would give anything for that stereo.
	3:43pm modchick65: I have such a Sam Cooke crush.
	♥ 3:44pm Summer and Michael: Holy cow, that Springtime Carnivore track was amazing, Sheila! Great show, as ever. We love you!
	♥ 3:44pm geegee vindaloo: Here's the Kay Starr Obit: www.nytimes.com...
	3:46pm JtotheK: dig this Gloria Lynne!
	3:51pm JakeGould: Versus! Yes!
	3:51pm MONEYBAG$: Mid-90s malaise forever!
	♥ 3:52pm Adrian in London: Oh yeah, Versus. I'd forgotten about them.
	3:53pm jerry h.: djsheilab_ I know that you are a Sarah Vaughn fan and thought that you would really enjoy her version of "Peter Gunn". It's Sarah at her "sassiest". If you've never heard it you"re missing out on a true gem!
	♥ 3:53pm Adrian in London: Googles Ha, yes, of course, they featured the marvellously named Fontaine Toups!
	3:55pm Marshall Stacks: Nice to know there are at least 2 others that know and enjoy Versus.
	3:59pm MONEYBAG$: I have many Versus t-shirts that are too big to wear now because The 90s
	4:00pm JasonInBoston: I LOVE vERsuS! I may want the shirts!
	4:00pm Cliff in Prague: I also approve of Versus
	4:01pm djsheilab: Woo Hoo! BIG love for Versus. One of the first bands I saw at CBGBs. I was in AWE. Xo
	4:02pm Cooh John: Good afternoon djsheilab and fellow boomers. Jumping in on a nice mellow track.
	4:04pm Eye_Eye: dang i missed tatu!! :/
	4:05pm Rob Kopp: Missed the first hour. It's already wintertime in NL :-(
	4:06pm The Contessa: Dancing to this one. Slowly…
	4:08pm Eye_Eye: it's basically wintertime here in NJ. a little warmer during the day, but cold nights.
	4:10pm modchick65: Remember Air Miami?
	4:11pm Eye_Eye: now i'm interested in this "Versus" everyone is talking about.
	4:11pm P-90: Kim's...gone now, like Bleecker Bob's and so many others
	4:12pm MONEYBAG$: Never saw Air Miami, that was the one Mark Robinson band that eluded me
	4:12pm Cliff in Prague: Oh Sheila, I can tell this next track is going to bring out all the feels
	4:13pm JakeGould: I'm happy it's a sunny day when we hear this sad tune.
	4:13pm modchick65: I saw them at CMJ in 1995. They passed out 45rpms of one of their songs, and I really liked it at the time (which was odd and exciting for me, because I didn't like music from the US in the '90s). Listened to it again recently and wasn't really into it.
	4:18pm The Contessa: Love these sad songs
	4:21pm Cliff in Prague: Well that was properly devastating
	♥ 4:21pm Sem Chumbo: Hey, Sheila B., spinning quite a web today;-). Wonderful.
	4:23pm famous original nastywolf: I wish I knew where my Air Miami shirt was, it had Lyle Lyle crocodile on it
	4:23pm djsheilab: Just want to remind folks listening that we are still running our silent fundraiser in hopes of raising more funds to keep us up n' thriving through the winter. For those who donated, BIG thanks! For those who'd like to extend a hand, please visit: http:/wfmu.org/pledge THANXXXXXX!!!
	4:24pm modchick65: @famous original nastywolf - I just remember a graphic with a carton of milk. Does that sound right?
	4:24pm famous original nastywolf: Also, you played one of my most favoritest songs!!!! "Got no one to comb my hair for" lol
	4:25pm djsheilab: And of course I ask for your donations right when I play Bon Jovi. Doh!
	4:25pm Cliff in Prague: Bon Jovi. I love it
	4:25pm modchick65: Ha. This was the only Bon Jovi song I ever liked.
	♥ 4:26pm listener james from westwood: Early 80s metal FTW!
	4:26pm modchick65: My old boss was the executive producer on the Bon Jovi records.
	4:26pm Cliff in Prague: The video for "Livin' on a Prayer" completely blew my little 8-year-old mind. "They're flying through the air!?!"
	♥ 4:29pm Joe McG: Bon Jovi into Ohio Express is genius, Sheila B.
	♥ 4:29pm Sem Chumbo: Sugar binge flashback. Good God, hahaha!
	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks @Joe McG! Oddly makes sense, right?
	4:30pm jerry h.: Fantastic choices today . What a mix!
	4:34pm bill: I have a general question, maybe some of you know--do FMU DJs have these massive, massive collections, or are they drawing mainly from the library???
	4:37pm The Contessa: Loving the lyrics to this one. Ha ha.
	4:37pm djsheilab: @bill It really depends on the DJ. I pull 95% of my music from my collection. But some DJs are the opposite and pull everything from the library.
	♥ 4:38pm Mick: This is amazing!
	4:39pm JakeGould: phffftt elBObO likes the movie "Ghost." What happened? Goodwill ran out of copies of "Jerry McGuire" on VHS?
	4:39pm geezerette: hahaha :)
	♥ 4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: @bill - Some DJs also utilize the Free Music Archive. Liz Berg features that source quite a bit.
	4:40pm bill: thanks=--i'm a big fan and you sound like a really nice person s helia
	4:41pm bill: i just ask because, some DJ's have been there 20, 30 years, so you're talking astronomical amounts of music--take gaylord for example
	4:43pm JakeGould: Gaylord's musical knowledge and wit can make a computer explode. Such knowledge.
	4:43pm modchick65: OOOH. I was so hoping you would talk about the Lollipops.
	4:44pm Rob Kopp: The Lollipops who did Busy signal?
	♥ 4:46pm chris: that's so cool, sheilab! thanks for being awesome.
	4:46pm bill: sure. .well. i think music people (me too) are really obsessive people record collecting can be mildly pathological
	4:47pm geezerette: Sheila you are so sweet. Love your enthusiasm.
	4:47pm modchick65: Love stories like that. So much. @djsheilab... Have you heard Smoky & His Sister? There's a compilation on Spotify (that's better than the 1 LP they released back in the day). It's a gorgeous record, and there's all this mystery about who they are. Love the rock and roll mysteries.
	4:47pm Darian: Shiela...this Lollipops story just melts my heart. You are doing the work of an angel.
	4:50pm Matt M: Always loved this Boyd Sisters record - no wonder now considering who they actually were! :)
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: Brilliantly covered in French by Gillian Hills as Tut tut tut tut
	4:53pm JtotheK: someday I will find a 'busy signal' 45... love it! Thanks SheilaB!
	4:53pm JakeGould: Bravo! What a "dut dut dut" transition.
	♥ 4:54pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 The Smokey & His Sister record is so good and so sad his sister wasn't around for the re-release and to be acknowledged with praise. Gaylord often plays tracks from the album.
	4:56pm jerry h.: Love all this 60s music. The best decade for all music!
	4:57pm georgesimian: Another awesome show from Sheila B.!
	4:58pm Rob Kopp: Rentre sans moi from that Gillan Hills EP is also a great cover: of Leave me be by The Zombies
	♥ 5:01pm listener james from westwood: Neneh!
	5:02pm MONEYBAG$: gathering of the gigolos
	♥ 5:02pm AndyIowa: Superb playlist as always, Sheila! That Utada Hikaru track was stunning!
	5:03pm northguineahills: I like how Neneh Cherry has been playing w/ the Thing lately...
	5:08pm djsheilab: Thanks for all the kind words on today's show. I LOVE PLAYING RECORDS FOR YOU!!!!!
	♥ 5:12pm AndyIowa: Just pledged. Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for the music. ❤️
	5:14pm dc pat: I made out with Neneh Cherry once... well she looked like Neneh Cherry
	♥ 5:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: And 99.9% of us love hearing them!
	5:16pm modchick65: @Adrian In London -- Yes, I found what little information there was re: Smokey & His Sister on the internet and was sad to hear that she had passed before receiving recognition for that beautiful record. So sad. But so happy Smokey survived to see it. What a story. I love stuff like that.
	5:17pm modchick65: Wishing there was a ShBoom tonight.
	5:17pm georgesimian: People should know not to call me during Sophisticated Boom Boom.
	5:18pm djsheilab: @AndyIowa Thanks for pledging!
	5:22pm P-90: @modchick: I wish it was a Sh-Boom night too!
	♥ 5:23pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 From memory, and it's in a box in the cupboard, I thin there are comprehensive liner notes in the CD.
	5:24pm JoeG: Glad you're back, djsheila...nowhere else can i derive as much calming enjoyment in a contiguous 3-hour time period than right here. Cheers!
	5:26pm outofluck70: I know this is late to the party, but loved the Crazy Eddie/Nobody Beats the Wiz reference. "I'm the wiz! I'm the wiz! Nobody beats me!"
	♥ 5:31pm listener james from westwood: IIRC the founder of Crazy Eddie died this year. All I could hear in my head upon reading the news was those old ads!
	5:32pm jerry h.: Jorge Ben! never tire of his voice.
	♥ 5:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just this morning, I spotted my Crazy Eddie wallet on the shelf in the laundry room.
	5:39pm georgesimian: The album cover may be sexier than the song. I swear her eyes follow you around. And the lettering is so cool.
	♥ 5:44pm listener james from westwood: Jason King was the series with Peter Wyngarde, wasn't it?
	5:45pm jerry h.: Awesome ! Laurie Johnson- just the tip of the iceberg here!
	♥ 5:45pm Listener Wolfgang: it was and it ruled!
	♥ 5:45pm Sem Chumbo: This is a pure marvel, SheilaB.Thanks so much for this afternoons spins, been great. See you next time for sure.
