	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Doc!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: It's so good to be back doing the normal thing after the rush of marathon. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)!
	12:15pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael dons the Yellow Suit once again!
	12:15pm Alex In Illinois: Does anyone remember this song in an SNL sketch in which the Chris Rock character says: "Hey Colin Powell! Let's show this white boy how to dance!"
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Henry! It was a new suit!
	12:16pm βrian: Yellow? I thought more ... ochre.
	12:16pm V Priceless: Nice raw sienna suit, btw, Uncle M
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Maybe mustard. Hi.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	12:19pm V Priceless: suitable for covering savoy brown ; )
	12:19pm Parq: The suit was classy, that's all I got to say.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Parq.
	12:21pm Webhamster Henry: Yes - He is Col. Mustard! With the Wrench! In the frozen food aisle of Hinky Dinky!
	12:21pm Parq: God, this Scaffolds. Can't even remember when I used to hear it. Prior to this moment, I couldn't have remembered it even under hypnosis.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Ready to Turn On My Lovelight!
	12:27pm βrian: But what if it's very NICE temptation?
	12:29pm doctorjazz: Richard and Linda, great!
	12:29pm doctorjazz: The Break Up album.
	12:30pm doctorjazz: he's got some acoustic solo dates in the NY area soon, have to check it out.
	12:30pm Marie: "Fixing a Hole" by the Beatles keeps running through my mind lately, just capturing my mood. It really is a lovely song--love the melodies. Anybody else have any earworms to share?
	12:30pm frenchee: @doctorjazz: it's one of my breakup albums too. #cryin
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: awww...frenchee
	12:31pm frenchee: @Marie: I have Ethel Merman singing "No Business Like Show Business" running around the noggin
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M and Dinklettes
	12:32pm doctorjazz: @frenchee, so sorry...
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: wall of death is Excellent. (best song on the album?)
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: coel∅!
	12:33pm Roberto: Ahoy Uncle and Uncleteers!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	12:34pm Dean: Buddy of mine hosted Ms. Merman's appearance at his college in the South c.1980. Backstage a stagehand announced, "Five minutes, Ms. Merman!" Not one to take orders she replied, "Five minutes my ass!" Nice Wallace Stevens allusion in Case's album title.
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: i have this song stuck in my head.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:37pm Marie: @ Frenchee--funny! Over the years I have had that as an earworm multiple times, for days. There is something about that song and melody.
	12:38pm Marie: Poopy floot? I love it.
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: (i have had a particular song stuck in my head on & off lately, but even the title of it will cause problems; so i shan't say.)
	12:39pm Mark the Sardine: Hey, Jude, slow down!
	12:39pm Parq: When I was a kid, I did an impression (not a very good one) of Merman's "Show Business". Theyrre's NAO-oh bizzzness like SHAO-ow bizzness ... "
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: It helps if you plug an air compressor into your ass.
	12:41pm Marie: Hey Coel. I just started watching this surprisingly good, kinda wacky movie last night that features an otter. You might want to check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Bright_Water_(film)
	12:41pm Parq: UM. oh, how often in life that's true.
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: Haha!
	12:43pm Dean: Wow, Marie, I remember reading that book back in elementary school.
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: haha Marie i'm not really an otter! i'm a fish; and not palatable to even an otter... but maybe i'll check out the flick anyway!
	12:44pm Marie: Hey Dean, I thought it seemed like a movie that was aimed at kids but I really liked it (so far, fell asleep about a half hour in).
	12:45pm Mark the Sardine: Let's hear it for the fish!
	12:45pm Marie: @ Coel--oops, sorry about that. That is quite a fish image!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: @coel, Walking On a Wire and Just the Motion from Shoot Out the Lights really get to me as well.
	12:46pm Dean: Pretty sure I saw the movie, too, probably right around the time it came out.
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: be careful Mark... i'll make sure my otter friend is well fed when you're around...still one never knows.
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: doctor j -i need to pull the album out again. it's been years and i confess i didn't like it much when i first got it. it's almost a sure thing i'll like it more now.
	12:54pm Artie Haywire: Unabashed love for early Steve Miller Band. Basic and right.
	12:55pm whattawino: Living In The USA is a PERFECT song...OK?
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Michael, your hinkydinky page gives a bad URL
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Artie! Whatta! Lane! Thanks, I'll fix...
	12:56pm Lane Gray: The date is no longer part of the URL
	12:56pm still b/p: Saw Steve Miller in the early 90s,a show attended and enjoyed by quite a wide age range. And it was either in his own words at the concert or somewhere I read at the time, or both: in spite of all the love and enthusiasm he could no longer get a record deal.
	12:57pm Mark the Sardine: great set
	12:58pm Lane Gray: I missed some cool stuff
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Fixed...sorry.
	1:02pm Artie Haywire: Steve Miller Band was my first arena concert, at 13, on the Fly Like an Eagle tour. Fantastic show. Took an intermission where the synth player just jammed out while laser light show was projected on the domed black arena ceiling.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: In what city was that?
	1:04pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: St. Louis?
	1:05pm doctorjazz: have to pick up this Fat White Family CD (though it may not be as much fun at home as on FMU)
	1:05pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: I did not attend that concert, but I seem to recall a friend from school talking about it.
	1:05pm doctorjazz: Definitely loving this set.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	1:07pm Artie Haywire: DC area. Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. Saw the ELO spaceship tour there shortly thereafter. Boston's first tour. Many others. Traded babysitting my sister's kids for rides to shows with my friends. Good times!
	🛒 1:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Them some Haystacks!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	🛒 1:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc!
	1:11pm Lizardner Dave: Is it Moon on drums in this demo or is that Pete trying to play like Moon?
	1:12pm whattawino: Just listened to Quadrophenia this week. It may be the most underrated Who record...fantastic album! Great pull, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 1:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thank you UM, for making the Marathon even funner and helping the GTDS become a major contributor to the overall effort.
	1:13pm Lizardner Dave: Well than answers that. Thanks!
	1:13pm still b/p: I saw that someone tried to pitch a TV series idea in the mid 60s featuring the Who -- like a Monkees thing? Keith woulda been consistently on time and ready to go at the studio, I'm sure.
	1:16pm Alex In Illinois: I recall in the last 1970's a DJ saying that she liked the Percolator part of this song in headphones.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Dave! YW!
	1:17pm frenchee: OH MAN I love this song "no guilty pleasures" but it'll be the new frenchee earworm for sure.
	1:17pm Alex In Illinois: *in the late 1970's
	1:18pm Parq: "I can't complain, but sometimes I still do" is another very widely applicable life lesson.
	1:18pm frenchee: "I can't complain but sometimes I still do"--motto
	1:18pm Santos L Halper: Hello and happy post-marathon, been enjoying you and Doug all day. Thanks for the Who demo; almost done reading Pete's autobio, been revisiting lots of his stuff.
	🛒 1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: Remember listening at college to Quadrophenia on my roommates Quadrophonic audio system
	1:18pm frenchee: OH SNAP @Parq
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Santos!
	1:20pm still b/p: I did a landscape and sky in sophomore art class inspired by Love Reign O'er Me. Oh, very dramatic.
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: @still b/p Do you think this would catch on? thejohnfleming.files.wordpress.com...
	🛒 1:21pm KevinfromBayRidge: Guess we had stereo, if not quad, comments from Parq and Frenchee!
	1:23pm still b/p: @ Brian -- ALWAYS a can't-miss genre for the funny!
	1:23pm Parq: I am a split personality, and so am I.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Parq Shrink to patient "You are a schizophrenic, that will be $50 each" Ta Da.
	1:29pm doctorjazz: Not the Tosh/Jagger "Don't Look Back", but a cute version.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Not the Persuasions' cover either!
	🛒 1:33pm Brian in UK: Ooops. Hello Uncle. I liked the whistle. (that's whistle & flute = suit)
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Thank ya, Brian.
	1:35pm jmd: THanks for playing Graham Central right after Joe Walsh. nice 1-2 punch!
	🛒 1:36pm KevinfromBayRidge: Never heard that Tull
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Think I got thrown to the stream (nice African intertwining guitars), using the Pop-up
	1:37pm Mike Sin: Jethro TOE!
	1:37pm Doug Schulkind: Stream is popping in and out, Michael.
	1:38pm melinda: hi UM and friends
	1:38pm frenchee: speaking of stereo, I'm getting some African music in and out w/Unky Mikey
	1:38pm jmd: But Seriously Folks. (Joe Walsh record).
	1:38pm Glenn L: What Doug said.
	🛒 1:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Stream is cutting in intermittently
	1:39pm Dean: That's what he gets for playing Joe Walsh.
	1:40pm Lane Gray: Much respect for Walsh. But he's not an Eagle
	1:40pm frenchee: oh @Dean, it warn't so bad. Life's been good to him so far.
	1:41pm doctorjazz: I like that Life's Been Good track (missed it, have to get some work done between sets).
	1:41pm Dean: [Just kidding.]
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: jmd! thank you! Mike! melinda!
	1:42pm jmd: I think he's 1/7 Eagle. Glen and Don are 2/7s Eagle.
	1:42pm βrian: Nice African, though!
	1:42pm Alex In Illinois: @frenshee: I was getting the African music switcharoo too. Whoa, there just went, another one!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: stream still making trouble?
	🛒 1:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Nuttin' a little Bobbie Gentry in the Gut can't solve!
	1:42pm Doug Schulkind: Yes.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: I'll try stopping and starting the stream.
	1:43pm Lane Gray: Michael, did you see that thing of Barbara Mandrell on the Johnny Cash TV show? Tore up Steel Guitar Rag, with some cool twin parts with the not-shown guitar picker
	1:44pm βrian: Mmm, Kora!
	1:44pm Roberto: Oy again with the stream mehugas.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	1:45pm Roberto: We're jammin' now.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: If it does it again, I'll go silent while I restart my modem.
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Johnny Cash is Indian. The Eagles aint.
	1:46pm Roberto: ARgh
	1:46pm Doug Schulkind: Still interrupting big time.
	1:47pm βrian: You might want to blast your acoustic coupler with some compressed air while you're at it.
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: @Lane Did you just write Barbara Mandrell, been a long time since I sold an LP of hers.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: restarting modem
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Still same issue, but I'm beating a dead horse (get my Dead references in whenever I can, hahaha)
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: Thought I was imaginging the Carpenters.
	1:49pm jmd: should we be hearing a cover of Superstar? If so, then all's well?
	1:49pm jmd: spoke too soon
	1:49pm melinda: The version of Superstar on the stream was pretty cool, I have to say.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: nope
	1:50pm Doug Schulkind: The stream was just then playing Ros Sereysothea's version of "Superstar" by the Carpenters. Music from Cambodia!
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i don't know why it came up, Johnny Cash didn't have any native blood in him, he was to eventually learn.
	1:50pm doctorjazz: Sure didn't sound like Tom Verlaine.
	1:50pm Parq: I'm very confused. Well, yes, but I mean about the stream.
	1:50pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of bouncy on the stream - hit a patch of internet whitewater?
	1:50pm melinda: I hear Verlaine now.
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: i like the droney fiddle.
	1:54pm JP from KC: Holy fuck. That Collectors track was incredible. Never heard that, before.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: we good now?
	1:56pm JP from KC: I haven't had issues since I tuned back in during Status Quo. By the way, you weren't kidding at the start of the show. I bet Annie's half done already, and you're certainly helping me bust ass through my lunch hour.
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: Sounds OK ! I'm ready for Pee Wee Herman to turn up at the Alamo!
	1:56pm Lane Gray: Brian, I did write Barbara. On my FB feed yesterday was a video of her tearing up the C6th neck
	2:02pm Parq: While you're at it, check out the less ambitious but still worthy tribute by Julea on last night's "Diesel Smoke and Dangerous Curves".
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: yes, this is one i played for my own tribute at the pub, on the jukebox, on the night of Chuck's passing.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: best fake early elvis ever?
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: i would've believed it if you said it was Elvis. (though Elvis' voice is a little "richer", in general)
	2:06pm still b/p: Chuck said it was all for the money, needed to make a living with rock and roll, and his personal preference was big band swing.
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: yup. that's a man that i probably would not have liked personally; but i'm forever in awe of his musical sense, and his brilliant marketting skills.
	2:12pm Parq: Yet another example of how you have to separate the worth of the person from the worth of his or her work.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: -and sometimes it's the other way 'round...when knowing what a good person someone is makes me wish i liked his/her music more!
	2:18pm Roberto: This is definitely my favorite track off of YA.
	2:20pm still b/p: Listened to Bowie doing God Only Knows the other day...and ooh, i'm quite a Bowie fan for a lot of things, but that didn't work.
	2:21pm Parq: Coel, dig that!
	2:22pm Parq: I got legwork to do and may not be back until after three, so UM, thanks now for another great show.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: Billy Walker did it better.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Parq!
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Ouch! That fake stereo "swimming" hurts on headphones
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I don't hear fake stereo on that. Most instruments were panned pretty hard right or left, in fact.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Man, what a voice!
	2:29pm doctorjazz: (some glass cracked in my office with the high note)
	2:31pm Webhamster Henry: Mash up with Bang Bang!
	2:31pm still b/p: Whittaker for, as they say, the bold win!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Roger killed the comments!
	2:39pm Dean: I'm afraid Terry Jacks won't revive them.
	2:39pm David D: Good day-vening, Uncle Michael, Roger, everyone...
	2:40pm Sue P.: Wow...that Terry Jacks song is creepy as hell. Tooooo much double entendre!
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: ha that sad sad song cracks me up! i always thought of it if i saw a "top 10 worst songs of all time" list.
	2:41pm Dean: "That entendre doesn't even rise..." ISWYDT.
	2:41pm David D: Understood as entendred.
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: "Slip It In" is subtle by comparison.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: what did the guy from Seasons In the Sun die from, anyway? I've always wondered.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: not TOO subtle!
	2:43pm Lane Gray: Seasons in the Sun has a pretty melody. I played its melody at half speed for the Hank Jr. song "Blues Man"
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: I just became a grandfather. I think Roger Whittaker is going to be my fashion plate.
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: Terry Jacks is alive.
	2:45pm Scraps: Waaaaaay back there: Ethel Merman is awesome. Now lying down again. Cheers.
	2:45pm melinda: Nice Winds version.
	2:45pm Dean: Why does this Brothers Four sound like Harry Shearer singing all the parts?
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Congrats!
	2:46pm Jeff Golick: @Rich: congratulations. It is surprising hard to find a photograph that shows Roger Whittaker's leg: www.google.com... He has legs, right?
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: yes Rich - what they said!
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: * surprisingly // *legs // ugh
	2:47pm Lane Gray: Roger Whitaker did a cool version of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" with Curly Chalker on the double barreled egg slicer. Wind is crazy in Illinois too
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: That's fine. I am selling my legs to buy my grandson a ball and bat. Doh!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Get the Bill Veeck model!
	2:56pm Marie: I lurve this song.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: so good...one of my top 3 NY albums.
	2:58pm Listening Out There: Just got here...
	2:58pm still b/p: Supah show, thanks! Uncle Michael didn't want to perform in Hoof and Mouth -- wouldn't respond to urgent attempts to contact. Here's when he was persuaded to...take the call. 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:00pm frenchee: What? I missed Al B? He's a legend in MY mind forevah. Peace out, UM and friends
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle Michael! tchau camaradas
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Great show, thanks, off to the next room.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: bye, my friends!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 24, 2017

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.

	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Doc!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: It's so good to be back doing the normal thing after the rush of marathon. Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)!
	12:15pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael dons the Yellow Suit once again!
	12:15pm Alex In Illinois: Does anyone remember this song in an SNL sketch in which the Chris Rock character says: "Hey Colin Powell! Let's show this white boy how to dance!"
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Henry! It was a new suit!
	12:16pm βrian: Yellow? I thought more ... ochre.
	12:16pm V Priceless: Nice raw sienna suit, btw, Uncle M
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: Maybe mustard. Hi.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	12:19pm V Priceless: suitable for covering savoy brown ; )

	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Parq.
	12:21pm Webhamster Henry: Yes - He is Col. Mustard! With the Wrench! In the frozen food aisle of Hinky Dinky!
	12:21pm Parq: God, this Scaffolds. Can't even remember when I used to hear it. Prior to this moment, I couldn't have remembered it even under hypnosis.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Ready to Turn On My Lovelight!
	12:27pm βrian: But what if it's very NICE temptation?
	12:29pm doctorjazz: Richard and Linda, great!
	12:29pm doctorjazz: The Break Up album.
	12:30pm doctorjazz: he's got some acoustic solo dates in the NY area soon, have to check it out.
	12:30pm Marie: "Fixing a Hole" by the Beatles keeps running through my mind lately, just capturing my mood. It really is a lovely song--love the melodies. Anybody else have any earworms to share?
	12:30pm frenchee: @doctorjazz: it's one of my breakup albums too. #cryin
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: awww...frenchee
	12:31pm frenchee: @Marie: I have Ethel Merman singing "No Business Like Show Business" running around the noggin
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M and Dinklettes
	12:32pm doctorjazz: @frenchee, so sorry...
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: wall of death is Excellent. (best song on the album?)
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: coel∅!
	12:33pm Roberto: Ahoy Uncle and Uncleteers!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	12:34pm Dean: Buddy of mine hosted Ms. Merman's appearance at his college in the South c.1980. Backstage a stagehand announced, "Five minutes, Ms. Merman!" Not one to take orders she replied, "Five minutes my ass!" Nice Wallace Stevens allusion in Case's album title.
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: i have this song stuck in my head.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:37pm Marie: @ Frenchee--funny! Over the years I have had that as an earworm multiple times, for days. There is something about that song and melody.
	12:38pm Marie: Poopy floot? I love it.
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: (i have had a particular song stuck in my head on & off lately, but even the title of it will cause problems; so i shan't say.)
	12:39pm Mark the Sardine: Hey, Jude, slow down!
	12:39pm Parq: When I was a kid, I did an impression (not a very good one) of Merman's "Show Business". Theyrre's NAO-oh bizzzness like SHAO-ow bizzness ... "
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: It helps if you plug an air compressor into your ass.
	12:41pm Marie: Hey Coel. I just started watching this surprisingly good, kinda wacky movie last night that features an otter. You might want to check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Bright_Water_(film)
	12:41pm Parq: UM. oh, how often in life that's true.
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: Haha!
	12:43pm Dean: Wow, Marie, I remember reading that book back in elementary school.
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: haha Marie i'm not really an otter! i'm a fish; and not palatable to even an otter... but maybe i'll check out the flick anyway!
	12:44pm Marie: Hey Dean, I thought it seemed like a movie that was aimed at kids but I really liked it (so far, fell asleep about a half hour in).
	12:45pm Mark the Sardine: Let's hear it for the fish!
	12:45pm Marie: @ Coel--oops, sorry about that. That is quite a fish image!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: @coel, Walking On a Wire and Just the Motion from Shoot Out the Lights really get to me as well.
	12:46pm Dean: Pretty sure I saw the movie, too, probably right around the time it came out.
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: be careful Mark... i'll make sure my otter friend is well fed when you're around...still one never knows.
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: doctor j -i need to pull the album out again. it's been years and i confess i didn't like it much when i first got it. it's almost a sure thing i'll like it more now.
	12:54pm Artie Haywire: Unabashed love for early Steve Miller Band. Basic and right.
	12:55pm whattawino: Living In The USA is a PERFECT song...OK?
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Michael, your hinkydinky page gives a bad URL
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Artie! Whatta! Lane! Thanks, I'll fix...
	12:56pm Lane Gray: The date is no longer part of the URL
	12:56pm still b/p: Saw Steve Miller in the early 90s,a show attended and enjoyed by quite a wide age range. And it was either in his own words at the concert or somewhere I read at the time, or both: in spite of all the love and enthusiasm he could no longer get a record deal.
	12:57pm Mark the Sardine: great set
	12:58pm Lane Gray: I missed some cool stuff
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Fixed...sorry.
	1:02pm Artie Haywire: Steve Miller Band was my first arena concert, at 13, on the Fly Like an Eagle tour. Fantastic show. Took an intermission where the synth player just jammed out while laser light show was projected on the domed black arena ceiling.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: In what city was that?
	1:04pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: St. Louis?
	1:05pm doctorjazz: have to pick up this Fat White Family CD (though it may not be as much fun at home as on FMU)
	1:05pm Alex In Illinois: @Artie: I did not attend that concert, but I seem to recall a friend from school talking about it.
	1:05pm doctorjazz: Definitely loving this set.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	1:07pm Artie Haywire: DC area. Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. Saw the ELO spaceship tour there shortly thereafter. Boston's first tour. Many others. Traded babysitting my sister's kids for rides to shows with my friends. Good times!
	🛒 1:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Them some Haystacks!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	🛒 1:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc!
	1:11pm Lizardner Dave: Is it Moon on drums in this demo or is that Pete trying to play like Moon?
	1:12pm whattawino: Just listened to Quadrophenia this week. It may be the most underrated Who record...fantastic album! Great pull, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 1:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thank you UM, for making the Marathon even funner and helping the GTDS become a major contributor to the overall effort.
	1:13pm Lizardner Dave: Well than answers that. Thanks!
	1:13pm still b/p: I saw that someone tried to pitch a TV series idea in the mid 60s featuring the Who -- like a Monkees thing? Keith woulda been consistently on time and ready to go at the studio, I'm sure.
	1:16pm Alex In Illinois: I recall in the last 1970's a DJ saying that she liked the Percolator part of this song in headphones.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Dave! YW!
	1:17pm frenchee: OH MAN I love this song "no guilty pleasures" but it'll be the new frenchee earworm for sure.
	1:17pm Alex In Illinois: *in the late 1970's
	1:18pm Parq: "I can't complain, but sometimes I still do" is another very widely applicable life lesson.
	1:18pm frenchee: "I can't complain but sometimes I still do"--motto
	1:18pm Santos L Halper: Hello and happy post-marathon, been enjoying you and Doug all day. Thanks for the Who demo; almost done reading Pete's autobio, been revisiting lots of his stuff.
	🛒 1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: Remember listening at college to Quadrophenia on my roommates Quadrophonic audio system
	1:18pm frenchee: OH SNAP @Parq
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Santos!
	1:20pm still b/p: I did a landscape and sky in sophomore art class inspired by Love Reign O'er Me. Oh, very dramatic.
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: @still b/p Do you think this would catch on? thejohnfleming.files.wordpress.com...
	🛒 1:21pm KevinfromBayRidge: Guess we had stereo, if not quad, comments from Parq and Frenchee!
	1:23pm still b/p: @ Brian -- ALWAYS a can't-miss genre for the funny!
	1:23pm Parq: I am a split personality, and so am I.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Parq Shrink to patient "You are a schizophrenic, that will be $50 each" Ta Da.
	1:29pm doctorjazz: Not the Tosh/Jagger "Don't Look Back", but a cute version.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Not the Persuasions' cover either!
	🛒 1:33pm Brian in UK: Ooops. Hello Uncle. I liked the whistle. (that's whistle & flute = suit)
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Thank ya, Brian.
	1:35pm jmd: THanks for playing Graham Central right after Joe Walsh. nice 1-2 punch!
	🛒 1:36pm KevinfromBayRidge: Never heard that Tull
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Think I got thrown to the stream (nice African intertwining guitars), using the Pop-up
	1:37pm Mike Sin: Jethro TOE!
	1:37pm Doug Schulkind: Stream is popping in and out, Michael.
	1:38pm melinda: hi UM and friends
	1:38pm frenchee: speaking of stereo, I'm getting some African music in and out w/Unky Mikey
	1:38pm jmd: But Seriously Folks. (Joe Walsh record).
	1:38pm Glenn L: What Doug said.
	🛒 1:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Stream is cutting in intermittently
	1:39pm Dean: That's what he gets for playing Joe Walsh.
	1:40pm Lane Gray: Much respect for Walsh. But he's not an Eagle
	1:40pm frenchee: oh @Dean, it warn't so bad. Life's been good to him so far.
	1:41pm doctorjazz: I like that Life's Been Good track (missed it, have to get some work done between sets).
	1:41pm Dean: [Just kidding.]
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: jmd! thank you! Mike! melinda!
	1:42pm jmd: I think he's 1/7 Eagle. Glen and Don are 2/7s Eagle.
	1:42pm βrian: Nice African, though!
	1:42pm Alex In Illinois: @frenshee: I was getting the African music switcharoo too. Whoa, there just went, another one!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: stream still making trouble?
	🛒 1:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Nuttin' a little Bobbie Gentry in the Gut can't solve!
	1:42pm Doug Schulkind: Yes.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: I'll try stopping and starting the stream.
	1:43pm Lane Gray: Michael, did you see that thing of Barbara Mandrell on the Johnny Cash TV show? Tore up Steel Guitar Rag, with some cool twin parts with the not-shown guitar picker
	1:44pm βrian: Mmm, Kora!
	1:44pm Roberto: Oy again with the stream mehugas.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	1:45pm Roberto: We're jammin' now.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: If it does it again, I'll go silent while I restart my modem.
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Johnny Cash is Indian. The Eagles aint.
	1:46pm Roberto: ARgh
	1:46pm Doug Schulkind: Still interrupting big time.
	1:47pm βrian: You might want to blast your acoustic coupler with some compressed air while you're at it.
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: @Lane Did you just write Barbara Mandrell, been a long time since I sold an LP of hers.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: restarting modem
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Still same issue, but I'm beating a dead horse (get my Dead references in whenever I can, hahaha)
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: Thought I was imaginging the Carpenters.
	1:49pm jmd: should we be hearing a cover of Superstar? If so, then all's well?
	1:49pm jmd: spoke too soon
	1:49pm melinda: The version of Superstar on the stream was pretty cool, I have to say.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: nope
	1:50pm Doug Schulkind: The stream was just then playing Ros Sereysothea's version of "Superstar" by the Carpenters. Music from Cambodia!
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i don't know why it came up, Johnny Cash didn't have any native blood in him, he was to eventually learn.
	1:50pm doctorjazz: Sure didn't sound like Tom Verlaine.
	1:50pm Parq: I'm very confused. Well, yes, but I mean about the stream.
	1:50pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of bouncy on the stream - hit a patch of internet whitewater?
	1:50pm melinda: I hear Verlaine now.
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: i like the droney fiddle.
	1:54pm JP from KC: Holy fuck. That Collectors track was incredible. Never heard that, before.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: we good now?
	1:56pm JP from KC: I haven't had issues since I tuned back in during Status Quo. By the way, you weren't kidding at the start of the show. I bet Annie's half done already, and you're certainly helping me bust ass through my lunch hour.
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: Sounds OK ! I'm ready for Pee Wee Herman to turn up at the Alamo!
	1:56pm Lane Gray: Brian, I did write Barbara. On my FB feed yesterday was a video of her tearing up the C6th neck
	2:02pm Parq: While you're at it, check out the less ambitious but still worthy tribute by Julea on last night's "Diesel Smoke and Dangerous Curves".
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: yes, this is one i played for my own tribute at the pub, on the jukebox, on the night of Chuck's passing.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: best fake early elvis ever?
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: i would've believed it if you said it was Elvis. (though Elvis' voice is a little "richer", in general)
	2:06pm still b/p: Chuck said it was all for the money, needed to make a living with rock and roll, and his personal preference was big band swing.
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: yup. that's a man that i probably would not have liked personally; but i'm forever in awe of his musical sense, and his brilliant marketting skills.
	2:12pm Parq: Yet another example of how you have to separate the worth of the person from the worth of his or her work.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: -and sometimes it's the other way 'round...when knowing what a good person someone is makes me wish i liked his/her music more!
	2:18pm Roberto: This is definitely my favorite track off of YA.
	2:20pm still b/p: Listened to Bowie doing God Only Knows the other day...and ooh, i'm quite a Bowie fan for a lot of things, but that didn't work.
	2:21pm Parq: Coel, dig that!
	2:22pm Parq: I got legwork to do and may not be back until after three, so UM, thanks now for another great show.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: Billy Walker did it better.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Parq!
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Ouch! That fake stereo "swimming" hurts on headphones
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I don't hear fake stereo on that. Most instruments were panned pretty hard right or left, in fact.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Man, what a voice!
	2:29pm doctorjazz: (some glass cracked in my office with the high note)
	2:31pm Webhamster Henry: Mash up with Bang Bang!
	2:31pm still b/p: Whittaker for, as they say, the bold win!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Roger killed the comments!
	2:39pm Dean: I'm afraid Terry Jacks won't revive them.
	2:39pm David D: Good day-vening, Uncle Michael, Roger, everyone...
	2:40pm Sue P.: Wow...that Terry Jacks song is creepy as hell. Tooooo much double entendre!
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: ha that sad sad song cracks me up! i always thought of it if i saw a "top 10 worst songs of all time" list.
	2:41pm Dean: "That entendre doesn't even rise..." ISWYDT.
	2:41pm David D: Understood as entendred.
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: "Slip It In" is subtle by comparison.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: what did the guy from Seasons In the Sun die from, anyway? I've always wondered.
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: not TOO subtle!
	2:43pm Lane Gray: Seasons in the Sun has a pretty melody. I played its melody at half speed for the Hank Jr. song "Blues Man"
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: I just became a grandfather. I think Roger Whittaker is going to be my fashion plate.
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: Terry Jacks is alive.
	2:45pm Scraps: Waaaaaay back there: Ethel Merman is awesome. Now lying down again. Cheers.
	2:45pm melinda: Nice Winds version.
	2:45pm Dean: Why does this Brothers Four sound like Harry Shearer singing all the parts?
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Congrats!
	2:46pm Jeff Golick: @Rich: congratulations. It is surprising hard to find a photograph that shows Roger Whittaker's leg: www.google.com... He has legs, right?
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: yes Rich - what they said!
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: * surprisingly // *legs // ugh
	2:47pm Lane Gray: Roger Whitaker did a cool version of "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" with Curly Chalker on the double barreled egg slicer. Wind is crazy in Illinois too
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: That's fine. I am selling my legs to buy my grandson a ball and bat. Doh!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Get the Bill Veeck model!
	2:56pm Marie: I lurve this song.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: so good...one of my top 3 NY albums.
	2:58pm Listening Out There: Just got here...
	2:58pm still b/p: Supah show, thanks! Uncle Michael didn't want to perform in Hoof and Mouth -- wouldn't respond to urgent attempts to contact. Here's when he was persuaded to...take the call. 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:00pm frenchee: What? I missed Al B? He's a legend in MY mind forevah. Peace out, UM and friends
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle Michael! tchau camaradas
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Great show, thanks, off to the next room.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: bye, my friends!
