Hi Joe. Looking forward to your show after a pretty shitty week. :(

12:06pm Cheri Pi:

♥ 12:06pm ChrisB.:

I knew we could count on The People's Champion for a fitting tribute to the late, great Billy Miller.

12:07pm JakeGould:

Hey Joe! Be at peace folks.

12:08pm Parq:

Way-cool instro of Monkey Man.

12:09pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Love you, Joe.

12:10pm Parq:

And, as someone who met Billy a couple of times but mostly related to him as a fan, I extend my hand to those who knew him well and counted him as a pal. This hurts all of us, but those who knew him well especially so.

12:11pm Bluesman:

Hey Joe! Keep it rockin' for Billy.

12:14pm Dennis Diken:

go Joe, go! sending love to all who knew Billy or was touched by him, and I know this means most of your listeners.

♥ 12:15pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Man, 2016 is the Year of the Tributes. Billy Miller, Leon Russell and Leonard Cohen just this week. And I'm sure there are more that I didn't even list.

12:15pm Joe B:

greetings all. gonna be a tough one today. Gonna have a great live set from Austin's quin galavis coming up soon then gonna return to full on norton mode where the loud sounds will abound until 3 pm

12:19pm sinner:

Take your time, Joe. Take your time.

12:20pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe and people who are currently being championed.

12:21pm Dennis Diken:

so glad you're there today Joe

♥ 12:21pm Gaylord Fields:

I wish I could be at the station with you in person to celebrate Billy's life. Thanks for leading the second line parade, Joe!

12:25pm jeff frieri:

A very sad day. Thanks for a great tribute.

♥ 12:27pm nickybones:

Condolences, Joe and all who knew Billy. I never met him, or Miriam, but their work and dedication is tremendously inspiring and wonderful. RIP.

12:35pm cee:

man i wish the dead space would have stayed together.
they had soo much promise. criminally underrated album and quin galaviss was at the heart of it all

12:41pm KP:

Hi, Joe! Quin sounds great

12:56pm Wild Neil:

PEACE All. Still looking for a mechanical engineering position near Buffalo NY. Please contact me if you know of one.

12:57pm Whooda:

Hello all, thanks in advance for another great show DJ Joe Belock. I'll have to hit the archive for the live set. As an Okie I particularly feel sad for the passing of Leon Russell.

♥ 12:59pm common:

hey joe, all

1:07pm MrFab:

Such conflicting emotions: lovin the music, but sad about Mr Miller. Hope Miriam keeps Norton alive, it is one of America's greatest musical resources.

♥ 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Underdogs reminding me (right now) of the Flamin' Groovies in high-energy mode!
...A very good thing...

♥ 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Oh - delayed playlist...It is them...

♥ 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...a very good thing...

♥ 1:15pm Matt F:

So glad you're doing this right now Joe.

1:22pm Parq:

Good reading about that VP album:
dangerousminds.net...

1:30pm Bluesman:

Slow death (72 sessions)

1:38pm Pete M:

Lots of love to Norton friends and family. Wonderful to hear all the thoughts and stories being shared.

1:39pm Bronwyn Bishop:

I've never heard You Still Believe in Me and Drive-in combined before, that threw me for a loop :D

1:40pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Thank you fellas--a fitting send-off. I'm laughing and crying thru all this. Thank you BILLY! Thank you MIRIAM!! And yes, the Groovies version of "Sweet Little Rock

1:41pm Bronwyn Bishop:

A little set of unusual Beach Boys covers? I'm in heaven now Joe

1:42pm Carmichael:

@Dungaroos: the FMU app goes wonky when you use an ampersand in your text. I found out the hard way.

♥ 1:42pm common:

very nice joe

♥ 1:42pm Gaylord Fields:

Yeah!

1:42pm Therese:

Joe, Todd and Ira, you are making me cry at my desk. I didn't know Billy well at all, but even as an observer, it was easy to see the enthusiasm and love he brought to everything he touched. Big love to you all and to Miriam and everyone in the Norton family.

♥ 1:42pm Matt F:

A lot of simultaneous laughing/sobbing over here.

♥ 1:42pm Gaylord Fields:

I mean "Yeah!"

♥ 1:42pm pinholga:

Hell yeah New Surfsiders! The only band that can make Kokomo palatable...

1:48pm Bishop68:

I remember loading out after a FMU record fair, and Billy's pushing/pulling a few boxes out on a moving dolly.The sidewalk was busy with all the vendors pulling out. Billy waited on the guy ahead of him to move, just as a lady walking a small dog strolls past. The dog stops, smells Billy's boxes,and relieves itself on them. Not missing a beat,Billy looks down and smiles and says "Everyone's a critic!".

♥ 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Oh - this is heartbreaking.
A life well-lived.

♥ 1:55pm Gaylord Fields:

I'd like to second Ira's point by saying that as much as Billy (and Miriam) showed up what music to love, their bigger contribution is showing us how to love music of all types.

2:01pm johnk77:

david hodo is a good guy
and was very cool
even with a breeder like me;>

2:01pm herb.nyc:

Thx for this great show. As Billy is also tuned into wfmu now, what do you think he'd be saying / thinking now?

♥ 2:02pm Nate K.:

This is so great, Joe, Ira, and Todd. We should all be so lucky to get such a heartfelt tribute when our time comes. Not to mention live such an amazing life in the meantime.

2:02pm johnk77:

@parq thanx for quality link

2:03pm Bluesman:

All the hits: "Krammed In!!!!

2:07pm johnk77:

@mikeeast thanx
i got yr email about chick corea

2:09pm Allen Larman:

Great tribute to one of the greats - Billy Miller! RIP Thanks

♥ 2:14pm Gaylord Fields:

@Bishop68: Billy had, without a doubt, one of the quickest wits of anyone I've ever known. I'd just marvel at how he always had the perfect quip for the most absurd situation.

2:15pm Dennis Diken:

just beautiful guys. Todd, remember the night we all went to see Sam Butera and the Treniers in AC in '88? 3 sets each! great memory of a fine hang with Billy and the gang.

2:16pm chad:

Favorite real kids song. You guys are killing it today Joe!

♥ 2:18pm MattBelow:

Keep that spirit alive guys!

2:26pm johnk77:

♥ 2:27pm Matt F:

Dennis D- Billy told me a story about that once. "Cassettes... for the car!"

2:29pm mary huhn:

i once referred to billy as billy norton in a article about a norton records release. he got a kick out of that -- and made jokes about other label founders, such as seymour sire. i will miss him.

2:35pm Bluesman:

Share the story with the class boys!

2:42pm Slaboch:

Such a great show!!!

2:43pm Scott C.:

Thanks to you all Joe, Todd and Ira for a fine and funny tribute to Billy. I needed this and always will. Official Raccoon salute, gentlemen!

2:46pm johnk77:

great work
by all selecters

♥ 2:46pm Mike Sin:

This show has been such a heartwarming tribute.

♥ 2:50pm Gaylord Fields:

Allow me to add to what everyone else is saying by remarking that this is exactly the show I needed to try to make sense of the sad news. Thanks, guys!

2:54pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Wonderful show.

2:54pm Parq:
