	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm rrg: I'm not familiar with the entire oeuvre of Fountains of Wayne but I always know immediately that it's them. It's that guy! His voice. And other stuff.

	3:29pm geezerette: hahaha!
	♥ 3:30pm The Oscar: Joe Meek's brand of murderous insanity is so much more endearing than Phil Spector's.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: i'd buy that painting... if i had a house... and some money.
	♥ 3:31pm Sem Chumbo: Excellent taste, @coel.
	3:32pm geezerette: Hey Coel!
	♥ 3:32pm coelacanth∅: Oscar - or Captain Beefhart's
	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: howdy gee! howdy Sem!
	♥ 3:35pm The Oscar: @Coelacanth Did the Cap'n actually kill someone? Or just brainwash and forcefeed them gruel?
	3:35pm Cliff in Prague: "...if I had a house, and some money" is something I find myself saying a lot
	3:37pm burpage: Irwin always enjoying the tunes shooting hoops in the pool
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: i never heard of him killing anyone - just torturing them. ...and i confess - i don't know which is worse.
	♥ 3:38pm Irwin: Listening to Bent Knee is the best way to learn math.
	3:40pm Listening Out There: Irwin: How many time signatures are there?
	♥ 3:41pm Irwin: I can't figure out how they memorize these arrangements.
	3:42pm Listening Out There: Maybe the band plays with charts?
	♥ 3:43pm Irwin: Nope. Saw them twice. No charts.
	3:43pm Listening Out There: A hideous amount of practice, maybe?
	♥ 3:44pm Irwin: Playing together for eight years, I suppose it becomes intuitive.
	3:44pm burpage: Airing it out watching the spider go
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm rrg: Haven't heard this Kottke in ages. I forget about stuff.
	3:44pm Listening Out There: That and a serious masochistic streak...
	3:45pm βrian: I thought I heard geese.
	♥ 3:47pm Irwin: Brian: I get that.
	3:54pm βrian: And I think geese are just fine.
	♥ 3:56pm coelacanth∅: i wanted to play elec 6's cover of "the model" but it wasn't available on the "has everything" internet jukebox so i played "gay bar". nobody at the pub seemed to appreciate it; but that's what i get for living in a town where people are aggressively intolerant to anything or anyone who they hastily perceive as intolerant.
	♥ 3:56pm Michael 98145: ( back in that MRI ... )
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: (...oops, my player is about 3 songs behind.)
	3:59pm βrian: El perro vio a una mujer y dijo, "WF, MUjer!"
	♥ 3:59pm The Oscar: Not long ago a friend and I did a karaoke rendition of "Gay Bar" at a local townie dive. The crowd was mostly amused (if bewildered), plus it led to this great exchange: GUY NEAR STAGE: What is this song?! ME: Gay Bar!
	4:00pm Laura L: Oooh, please do obtain those Bob & Rays if you can!
	♥ 4:01pm Irwin: As always, Music Factory Playlists will be posted after the show.
	♥ 4:05pm The Oscar: This ad catches me off guard every single time. What an odd way to advertise Gone with the Wind.
	♥ 4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary Kellgren @ the Record Plant, who worked w/ Hendrix.
	4:06pm Cliff in Prague: I can also recommend E6's song "Escape From Ohio"
	♥ 4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course - in the middle of the Vietnam conflict - a short sharp 'Women hate war' over the radio...I'm sure war is supported by women as much as by anyone now...
	♥ 4:10pm Michael 98145: there was considerable family and girlfriend pressure on guys to participate in VN. just sayin.
	4:10pm geezerette: Auntie war.
	4:13pm geezerette: Saw an ad in a magazine from then,"Girls Say Yes To Boys Who Say No".
	4:15pm geezerette: Think it was an Evergreen Review,
	♥ 4:15pm Michael 98145: hi, gz'ette ... or Ramparts.
	4:16pm geezerette: Howdy Michael! Could be.
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: i always enjoyed penultimate spinach
	4:17pm geezerette: ?
	4:17pm WO Town Wick: Behind on the player but always good to hear Chris Whitley--gone too soon.
	4:18pm Dean: Auntie Penultimate Spinach
	4:20pm geezerette: I'd be anti that too...but Ultimate Spinach sounds like a band.
	♥ 4:21pm coelacanth∅: my parents, who were not always the most progressive people...definitely voted for nixon, reagan, and the other major war pigs - made a huge "peace sign" lighted wreath for the front of the house toward the end of the vietnam war. you can buy those now; but certainly not then. that was the only one i ever saw for many years. they probably even got some shit for that - in the conservative suburban town we lived in.
	4:23pm geezerette: Bet they did!
	♥ 4:23pm Michael 98145: the country was just as divided then as now
	♥ 4:23pm Hoboken Jack: Never heard of Evie Sands before Monday and now she's haunting my every waking moment.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: It's almost time for some hog fries. It's about that time.
	♥ 4:29pm Irwin: "Take Me for a Little While" by Evie Sands was famously covered by Vanilla Fudge on their debut.
	♥ 4:29pm Mike Sin: Interesting to hear to Wilson plug his cohort's (Gary Kellgren) new studio. Little did he know just how legendary that studio, and its other locations, would become. Kellgren engineered some prime Verve/MGM LPs.
	♥ 4:30pm Irwin: In ep 20, for the first time, Wilson actually PLAYS the entire James Cotton song.
	♥ 4:32pm Irwin: Also in ep 20, new commercials for Beacon St Union, Ultimate Spinach and the Velvets. But we'll be reminded again that women hate war.
	♥ 4:32pm MD: I'M DIGGIN TESE CRAZY GROVEY VIBES!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 4:34pm Michael 98145: - i can get a motorola tape player in my VW ?!? whoa -
	4:36pm Jeff: Groovy! PlayTape! socalmusicexchange.com...
	4:42pm Jeff: ...skipping right past Tom Wilson's quip...
	♥ 4:42pm Michael 98145: @Jeff, cool ! don't think i've ever seen one of those.
	♥ 4:43pm Joe McG: Playtape was my very first audio equipment! I had tapes by the Beach Boys, the Kinks, and Nat King Cole.
	4:43pm Jeff: I sure never have. I'd never even heard of them before today.
	♥ 4:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): If you're missing your Joe Frank dosage today, I'm sprinkling some classic Joe Frank samples into my sound collage today, 5-7pm ET on the Give the Drummer Radio stream! wfmu.org...
	4:44pm Jeff: Wow, Joe! You were right there on the cutting cul-de-sac!
	♥ 4:44pm Joe McG: @Jeff: You can still get the machines on eBay, but the tapes are harder to find.
	♥ 4:44pm Hoboken Jack: "Chips who?" Come on, Tom, even I knew she was talking about Chips Moman!
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: playtape - i.ebayimg.com...
	4:47pm Jeff: I don't need no PlayTape stuff. I still have a pile of eight-tracks available free to a good home. Any takers?
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm rrg: Sandy Posey also did one or two of those great (I think they're great) "Things Go Better with Coke" commercials from the late 1960s.
	♥ 4:54pm Irwin: Sandy's LPs have a bunch of great deep cuts. "See Ya 'Round on the Rebound" should've been Top 40.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm rrg: I also love "I Take It Back."
	♥ 4:56pm Michael 98145: thank you for preserving these for us, Irwin
	♥ 4:59pm Michael 98145: HiaR - en.wikipedia.org...
	5:01pm geezerette: Her songs are quietly radical. Still Feminist. Thanks Irwin.
	♥ 5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very appealing voice.
	5:02pm Laura L: In too long a time!!! Whoo hoo Sabu!
	5:02pm flashbazbo: I don't know about sandy posey but how did 'Help I'm a Rock" miss the WMCA Good Guys countdown?
	5:02pm Listening Out There: Sabu...the classics...
	♥ 5:04pm Irwin: Backing music by Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra.
	5:06pm Laura L: To quote L. Cohen, I can't forget but I don't remember what. But it sure was fantastic.
	5:06pm geezerette: "Kids today..."
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Alison Porchnik: "Sit back and relax"
	5:06pm Elle Tor's Husband: Waaaiiittt aaa second... X-Ray... You almost got me!
	♥ 5:07pm Michael 98145: NJ - i1.wp.com...
	5:08pm geezerette: God, he's like Sophie Tucker.
	♥ 5:08pm Irwin: "JERSEY CITY IS THE BEST."
	5:08pm Dean: Frank Bennett? Tony Sinatra? Bruce Springsteen?
	5:09pm Elle Tor's Husband: Waaaiit aa second...Donald Trump!.... You almost got me...
	5:09pm flashbazbo: the vocal mannerisms come close to being trumpian somehow. Sorry if you didn't want that in your head.
	5:09pm Cliff in Prague: "You betta sit back, and RELAX" is starting to sound like a threat.
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Alison Porchnik: Talk of Jersey and such things, pretty soon. The best tag line ever.
	5:10pm geezerette: hahaha,Cliff!
	5:11pm flashbazbo: Bada bing bada boom and you're relaxed babyface. How's your bird?
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what people who don't like Sinatra think Sinatra is like...
	♥ 5:11pm common: What goes on here?
	5:11pm flashbazbo: Like donald is what a poor person thinks a rich person is like. Fran lebowitz
	♥ 5:12pm Irwin: The album is SING ALONG WITH RIDDLE, an early karaoke-style LP. www.discogs.com...
	5:12pm Dean: More like Donald is what a rich person thinks a supermegarich person is like.
	5:13pm geezerette: He nails Sinatra's cheeziness. And I love a lot of Sinatra's ...stuff.
	5:13pm Dean: Almost bought a MMO record for saxophone a couple days ago.
	5:13pm Cliff in Prague: Ahh, the sausage and the peppahs.
	♥ 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yes - thing is - Sabu is not one of them...
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or...
	5:14pm geezerette: A Jersey genius. A hero sandwich of a man.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm rrg: 12 tracks. Will we get to hear them all?
	5:14pm Itzall Ablurr: The sasseetch
	♥ 5:14pm Michael 98145: we enjoyed an afternoon years ago listening to Frank's Xmas music in a bar in Jack London Square
	5:16pm Cal Zone!: this is just wonderful
	5:16pm MenfussMike: Funny how Tom Wilson seemed completely oblivious to American Studio and Chips Moman
	5:17pm Listening Out There: "...I know you remember him...."
	5:17pm flashbazbo: beleive me. The best dreams
	5:18pm Elle Tor's Husband: Jesus Christ this is weird...
	5:18pm Cliff in Prague: Poor Mezzick, where is he now. And Sebab, he would cut the games. Sad.
	5:18pm geezerette: Irwin this is hilarious. A weirdly affectionate tribute.
	♥ 5:19pm Hoboken Jack: 17 minutes in, I said aloud "Oh shut up!!" Did I win?
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Alison Porchnik: Hobo Jack, will you just sit back and relax already?
	5:21pm Listener Robert: This is all very touching. Or touched.
	5:21pm geezerette: and they were only ten in those days.
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's not a thoroughly terrible crooner...he just has no motivation to really develop it...A lot of these sorts Irwin plays - if they were just terrible, it wouldn't be weird enuff...
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm chris: this stuff is great. i need a cocktail and a smoke to go with all this reminiscing.
	♥ 5:23pm Irwin: RRN63: Ferretti was a Vegas regular. He worked there for years and had a solid following. He impersonated a lot of different singers. Very versatile act.
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm rrg: i.imgur.com...
	5:25pm flashbazbo: Is DK identified?
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm rrg: It's not Dorothy Kilgallen.
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: Will explain.
	♥ 5:25pm coelacanth∅: i just assumed it was Dead Kennedys.
	5:25pm flashbazbo: Ha
	5:26pm Bink: Thanks, Irwin - Sure enjoyed hearing this again!
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right - impersonation. Very often typed idiosyncrasies that maybe even the actual person didn't even use or have...
	♥ 5:26pm Irwin: Love ya, Bink! You visited DK's diner with me.
	♥ 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - we're all Elvis & Sinatra impersonators...
	5:28pm Cliff in Prague: Here's to you DK!
	5:28pm geezerette: haha, yep.
	♥ 5:28pm Michael 98145: that was quite a ride
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm chris: love ya, baby
	5:28pm Laura L: No Wikipedia page for Anthony "Sabu" Ferretti?!?!
	5:29pm flashbazbo: I googled sabu anthony ferretti. The only hits were Irwin playlists.
	♥ 5:30pm coelacanth∅: i have some cassettes of the Vanilla Bean. he really pushed it with the fcc - & his listeners!
	5:30pm Undead83: There's a You Tube video on him
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Alison Porchnik: Thanks for that Irwin!
	5:31pm Listening Out There: Wikipedia page = A job for Laura L...
	♥ 5:31pm common: Finally do have a smoke and a cocktail. Ah.
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: I found some photos of Ferretti online. He's Googleable.
	5:31pm Laura L: http://www.cathysro.com/musical-revues/ That second picture there looks like it's gotta be him.
	5:31pm geezerette: That was wonderful. Now I'm feeling tipsy.
	♥ 5:32pm Irwin: Laura: That might be his son. I don't think Sabu made it into the internet age.
	♥ 5:33pm Michael 98145: we severely lack true diners on the left coast
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Alison Porchnik: www.youtube.com...
	5:35pm geezerette: Michael, I think the closest thing in L.A. might be The Apple Pan. "since 1947"
	5:37pm Laura L: So his son has followed in his footsteps? http://www.mfwright.com/connie_francis/cfconcertrev6.html "Also featured was Connie's boyfriend Tony Ferretti gave a short performance as Tom Jones, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Ray Charles, and Frank Sinatra during the 15 minute break between Dionne's and Connie's shows."
	5:37pm Listening Out There: Have always liked Anat Cohen's clarinet playing...
	5:38pm Dean: The Pantry downtown has been open "since 1924." Used to be a legit place, but former scumbag mayor Riordan bought it quite some time ago. Could be just a tourist trap these days.
	♥ 5:38pm Michael 98145: thanks, gz'ette. have to check that out next time we are back down that way
	♥ 5:38pm Irwin: Or that could have been a very early photo of him. Those are some of the singers he impersonated.
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Alison Porchnik: Definitely Tony Sr. This is even better: www.youtube.com...
	5:40pm geezerette: Dean, we ate there a few years ago, it was filthy and roaches crawled across our pancakes! Not kidding!
	5:40pm Laura L: Take a look at that Connie Francis site--there are a couple mentions of Tony F. being her b.f. and performing at her shows 2010.
	5:42pm geezerette: Michael, The Apple Pan is great. Still family owned, I think.
	5:43pm Dean: Gack. I used to go there, mid-'70s, with high school buddies after we'd make a run to downtown's flower market and deliver the flowers to Culver City. We'd return via downtown, grab breakfast at the Pantry, and head to school by 8:00 a.m. Drove past Apple Pan zillions of times and yet NEVER WENT.
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: cool, thanks! on W Pico.
	♥ 5:48pm Irwin: Got a sudden hankering for sausage and peppas. THE SAUSAGE AND THE PEPPAS.
	5:49pm geezerette: Still love Phillipe's. Also family owned. Wooden phone booths still have working phones.
	5:49pm Dean: That was an early female hip-hop group, wasn't it?
	5:49pm Listener Robert: Likely THIS Tony Ferretti?: www.styleentertainment.net... I wonder if he could've been the opener I saw for Elvis Presley in 1969. But I remember only the 2 pantomimists.
	♥ 5:49pm Irwin: Robert: YES, that's Sabu.
	5:50pm Dean: Damn, Phillipe's mustard is amazing. Gimme a lamb dip with blue cheese, lemonade and a paper straw that won't last.
	5:50pm Dean: For martinis--and we've been here before, geezerette--Musso & Frank.
	♥ 5:51pm common: Wooden phone booths. Wonderful
	♥ 5:51pm Michael 98145: - getting hungry up here -
	5:51pm Laura L: So is this one his son and Connie Francis's b.f.? http://www.mfwright.com/connie_francis/IMG_8178small.jpg
	5:52pm geezerette: Mmmmm, sausage & peppaas. Dean, yum. We love that place. Both places!
	♥ 5:52pm Michael 98145: cripes, great show. thank you again, Irwin.
	5:53pm geezerette: Hi (un)common!
	♥ 5:53pm Sem Chumbo: What Michael ^ said. See ya later, Irwin.
	♥ 5:53pm common: Geezerette.
	5:53pm Listener Robert: But geezerette, did the roaches bring their own syrup?
	5:54pm geezerette: Irwin, thanks for all of it!
	5:56pm geezerette: LR, too afraid to look. Think they just used the pitchers on table like everyone else.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: Excellent program. Thanks. I don't regret blowing off work at all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chris: cool Bent Knee. thanks for another in a long string of excellent shows, Irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: ( that Bent Knee was great, too )
	5:57pm Cliff in Prague: Thanks Irwin!
	5:58pm Laura L: What rrg said.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	5:58pm P-90: Woah, this Bent Knee track really caught my ear! Thanks for another nice afternoon @DJ Irwin!
	6:45pm Elle Tor's Husband: Thomas
	6:45pm Elle Tor's Husband: Edger
	6:51pm Elle Tor's Husband: Hey Andy ya never heard of a Burner Phone? And you call yourself a Kingpin...Sheeesh!

	♥ 3:31pm Sem Chumbo: Excellent taste, @coel.
	3:32pm geezerette: Hey Coel!

	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: howdy gee! howdy Sem!
	♥ 3:35pm The Oscar: @Coelacanth Did the Cap'n actually kill someone? Or just brainwash and forcefeed them gruel?
	3:35pm Cliff in Prague: "...if I had a house, and some money" is something I find myself saying a lot
	3:37pm burpage: Irwin always enjoying the tunes shooting hoops in the pool
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: i never heard of him killing anyone - just torturing them. ...and i confess - i don't know which is worse.
	♥ 3:38pm Irwin: Listening to Bent Knee is the best way to learn math.
	3:40pm Listening Out There: Irwin: How many time signatures are there?
	♥ 3:41pm Irwin: I can't figure out how they memorize these arrangements.
	3:42pm Listening Out There: Maybe the band plays with charts?
	♥ 3:43pm Irwin: Nope. Saw them twice. No charts.

	♥ 3:47pm Irwin: Brian: I get that.
	3:54pm βrian: And I think geese are just fine.
	♥ 3:56pm coelacanth∅: i wanted to play elec 6's cover of "the model" but it wasn't available on the "has everything" internet jukebox so i played "gay bar". nobody at the pub seemed to appreciate it; but that's what i get for living in a town where people are aggressively intolerant to anything or anyone who they hastily perceive as intolerant.
	♥ 3:56pm Michael 98145: ( back in that MRI ... )
	♥ 3:57pm coelacanth∅: (...oops, my player is about 3 songs behind.)
	3:59pm βrian: El perro vio a una mujer y dijo, "WF, MUjer!"
	♥ 3:59pm The Oscar: Not long ago a friend and I did a karaoke rendition of "Gay Bar" at a local townie dive. The crowd was mostly amused (if bewildered), plus it led to this great exchange: GUY NEAR STAGE: What is this song?! ME: Gay Bar!
	4:00pm Laura L: Oooh, please do obtain those Bob & Rays if you can!
	♥ 4:01pm Irwin: As always, Music Factory Playlists will be posted after the show.
	♥ 4:05pm The Oscar: This ad catches me off guard every single time. What an odd way to advertise Gone with the Wind.
	♥ 4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary Kellgren @ the Record Plant, who worked w/ Hendrix.
	4:06pm Cliff in Prague: I can also recommend E6's song "Escape From Ohio"
	♥ 4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course - in the middle of the Vietnam conflict - a short sharp 'Women hate war' over the radio...I'm sure war is supported by women as much as by anyone now...
	♥ 4:10pm Michael 98145: there was considerable family and girlfriend pressure on guys to participate in VN. just sayin.
	4:10pm geezerette: Auntie war.
	4:13pm geezerette: Saw an ad in a magazine from then,"Girls Say Yes To Boys Who Say No".

	♥ 4:15pm Michael 98145: hi, gz'ette ... or Ramparts.
	4:16pm geezerette: Howdy Michael! Could be.
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: i always enjoyed penultimate spinach
	4:17pm geezerette: ?
	4:17pm WO Town Wick: Behind on the player but always good to hear Chris Whitley--gone too soon.
	4:18pm Dean: Auntie Penultimate Spinach
	4:20pm geezerette: I'd be anti that too...but Ultimate Spinach sounds like a band.
	♥ 4:21pm coelacanth∅: my parents, who were not always the most progressive people...definitely voted for nixon, reagan, and the other major war pigs - made a huge "peace sign" lighted wreath for the front of the house toward the end of the vietnam war. you can buy those now; but certainly not then. that was the only one i ever saw for many years. they probably even got some shit for that - in the conservative suburban town we lived in.
	4:23pm geezerette: Bet they did!
	♥ 4:23pm Michael 98145: the country was just as divided then as now
	♥ 4:23pm Hoboken Jack: Never heard of Evie Sands before Monday and now she's haunting my every waking moment.
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm rrg: It's almost time for some hog fries. It's about that time.
	♥ 4:29pm Irwin: "Take Me for a Little While" by Evie Sands was famously covered by Vanilla Fudge on their debut.
	♥ 4:29pm Mike Sin: Interesting to hear to Wilson plug his cohort's (Gary Kellgren) new studio. Little did he know just how legendary that studio, and its other locations, would become. Kellgren engineered some prime Verve/MGM LPs.
	♥ 4:30pm Irwin: In ep 20, for the first time, Wilson actually PLAYS the entire James Cotton song.
	♥ 4:32pm Irwin: Also in ep 20, new commercials for Beacon St Union, Ultimate Spinach and the Velvets. But we'll be reminded again that women hate war.
	♥ 4:32pm MD: I'M DIGGIN TESE CRAZY GROVEY VIBES!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 4:34pm Michael 98145: - i can get a motorola tape player in my VW ?!? whoa -
	4:36pm Jeff: Groovy! PlayTape! socalmusicexchange.com...

	♥ 4:42pm Michael 98145: @Jeff, cool ! don't think i've ever seen one of those.
	♥ 4:43pm Joe McG: Playtape was my very first audio equipment! I had tapes by the Beach Boys, the Kinks, and Nat King Cole.
	4:43pm Jeff: I sure never have. I'd never even heard of them before today.
	♥ 4:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): If you're missing your Joe Frank dosage today, I'm sprinkling some classic Joe Frank samples into my sound collage today, 5-7pm ET on the Give the Drummer Radio stream! wfmu.org...
	4:44pm Jeff: Wow, Joe! You were right there on the cutting cul-de-sac!
	♥ 4:44pm Joe McG: @Jeff: You can still get the machines on eBay, but the tapes are harder to find.
	♥ 4:44pm Hoboken Jack: "Chips who?" Come on, Tom, even I knew she was talking about Chips Moman!
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: playtape - i.ebayimg.com...
	4:47pm Jeff: I don't need no PlayTape stuff. I still have a pile of eight-tracks available free to a good home. Any takers?
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm rrg: Sandy Posey also did one or two of those great (I think they're great) "Things Go Better with Coke" commercials from the late 1960s.
	♥ 4:54pm Irwin: Sandy's LPs have a bunch of great deep cuts. "See Ya 'Round on the Rebound" should've been Top 40.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm rrg: I also love "I Take It Back."
	♥ 4:56pm Michael 98145: thank you for preserving these for us, Irwin
	♥ 4:59pm Michael 98145: HiaR - en.wikipedia.org...
	5:01pm geezerette: Her songs are quietly radical. Still Feminist. Thanks Irwin.
	♥ 5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very appealing voice.
	5:02pm Laura L: In too long a time!!! Whoo hoo Sabu!
	5:02pm flashbazbo: I don't know about sandy posey but how did 'Help I'm a Rock" miss the WMCA Good Guys countdown?
	5:02pm Listening Out There: Sabu...the classics...
	♥ 5:04pm Irwin: Backing music by Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra.
	5:06pm Laura L: To quote L. Cohen, I can't forget but I don't remember what. But it sure was fantastic.
	5:06pm geezerette: "Kids today..."
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Alison Porchnik: "Sit back and relax"
	5:06pm Elle Tor's Husband: Waaaiiittt aaa second... X-Ray... You almost got me!
	♥ 5:07pm Michael 98145: NJ - i1.wp.com...
	5:08pm geezerette: God, he's like Sophie Tucker.
	♥ 5:08pm Irwin: "JERSEY CITY IS THE BEST."
	5:08pm Dean: Frank Bennett? Tony Sinatra? Bruce Springsteen?
	5:09pm Elle Tor's Husband: Waaaiit aa second...Donald Trump!.... You almost got me...
	5:09pm flashbazbo: the vocal mannerisms come close to being trumpian somehow. Sorry if you didn't want that in your head.
	5:09pm Cliff in Prague: "You betta sit back, and RELAX" is starting to sound like a threat.
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Alison Porchnik: Talk of Jersey and such things, pretty soon. The best tag line ever.
	5:10pm geezerette: hahaha,Cliff!
	5:11pm flashbazbo: Bada bing bada boom and you're relaxed babyface. How's your bird?
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what people who don't like Sinatra think Sinatra is like...
	♥ 5:11pm common: What goes on here?
	5:11pm flashbazbo: Like donald is what a poor person thinks a rich person is like. Fran lebowitz
	♥ 5:12pm Irwin: The album is SING ALONG WITH RIDDLE, an early karaoke-style LP. www.discogs.com...
	5:12pm Dean: More like Donald is what a rich person thinks a supermegarich person is like.
	5:13pm geezerette: He nails Sinatra's cheeziness. And I love a lot of Sinatra's ...stuff.
	5:13pm Dean: Almost bought a MMO record for saxophone a couple days ago.
	5:13pm Cliff in Prague: Ahh, the sausage and the peppahs.
	♥ 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yes - thing is - Sabu is not one of them...
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or...
	5:14pm geezerette: A Jersey genius. A hero sandwich of a man.

	5:17pm flashbazbo: beleive me. The best dreams
	5:18pm Elle Tor's Husband: Jesus Christ this is weird...
	5:18pm Cliff in Prague: Poor Mezzick, where is he now. And Sebab, he would cut the games. Sad.
	5:18pm geezerette: Irwin this is hilarious. A weirdly affectionate tribute.
	♥ 5:19pm Hoboken Jack: 17 minutes in, I said aloud "Oh shut up!!" Did I win?
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Alison Porchnik: Hobo Jack, will you just sit back and relax already?
	5:21pm Listener Robert: This is all very touching. Or touched.
	5:21pm geezerette: and they were only ten in those days.
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's not a thoroughly terrible crooner...he just has no motivation to really develop it...A lot of these sorts Irwin plays - if they were just terrible, it wouldn't be weird enuff...
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm chris: this stuff is great. i need a cocktail and a smoke to go with all this reminiscing.
	♥ 5:23pm Irwin: RRN63: Ferretti was a Vegas regular. He worked there for years and had a solid following. He impersonated a lot of different singers. Very versatile act.
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm rrg: i.imgur.com...
	5:25pm flashbazbo: Is DK identified?
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm rrg: It's not Dorothy Kilgallen.
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: Will explain.
	♥ 5:25pm coelacanth∅: i just assumed it was Dead Kennedys.
	5:25pm flashbazbo: Ha
	5:26pm Bink: Thanks, Irwin - Sure enjoyed hearing this again!
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right - impersonation. Very often typed idiosyncrasies that maybe even the actual person didn't even use or have...
	♥ 5:26pm Irwin: Love ya, Bink! You visited DK's diner with me.
	♥ 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - we're all Elvis & Sinatra impersonators...

	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm chris: love ya, baby
	5:28pm Laura L: No Wikipedia page for Anthony "Sabu" Ferretti?!?!
	5:29pm flashbazbo: I googled sabu anthony ferretti. The only hits were Irwin playlists.
	♥ 5:30pm coelacanth∅: i have some cassettes of the Vanilla Bean. he really pushed it with the fcc - & his listeners!
	5:30pm Undead83: There's a You Tube video on him
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Alison Porchnik: Thanks for that Irwin!
	5:31pm Listening Out There: Wikipedia page = A job for Laura L...
	♥ 5:31pm common: Finally do have a smoke and a cocktail. Ah.
	♥ 5:31pm Irwin: I found some photos of Ferretti online. He's Googleable.
	5:31pm Laura L: http://www.cathysro.com/musical-revues/ That second picture there looks like it's gotta be him.
	5:31pm geezerette: That was wonderful. Now I'm feeling tipsy.
	♥ 5:32pm Irwin: Laura: That might be his son. I don't think Sabu made it into the internet age.
	♥ 5:33pm Michael 98145: we severely lack true diners on the left coast
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Alison Porchnik: www.youtube.com...
	5:35pm geezerette: Michael, I think the closest thing in L.A. might be The Apple Pan. "since 1947"
	5:37pm Laura L: So his son has followed in his footsteps? http://www.mfwright.com/connie_francis/cfconcertrev6.html "Also featured was Connie's boyfriend Tony Ferretti gave a short performance as Tom Jones, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Ray Charles, and Frank Sinatra during the 15 minute break between Dionne's and Connie's shows."
	5:37pm Listening Out There: Have always liked Anat Cohen's clarinet playing...
	5:38pm Dean: The Pantry downtown has been open "since 1924." Used to be a legit place, but former scumbag mayor Riordan bought it quite some time ago. Could be just a tourist trap these days.
	♥ 5:38pm Michael 98145: thanks, gz'ette. have to check that out next time we are back down that way
	♥ 5:38pm Irwin: Or that could have been a very early photo of him. Those are some of the singers he impersonated.
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Alison Porchnik: Definitely Tony Sr. This is even better: www.youtube.com...
	5:40pm geezerette: Dean, we ate there a few years ago, it was filthy and roaches crawled across our pancakes! Not kidding!
	5:40pm Laura L: Take a look at that Connie Francis site--there are a couple mentions of Tony F. being her b.f. and performing at her shows 2010.
	5:42pm geezerette: Michael, The Apple Pan is great. Still family owned, I think.
	5:43pm Dean: Gack. I used to go there, mid-'70s, with high school buddies after we'd make a run to downtown's flower market and deliver the flowers to Culver City. We'd return via downtown, grab breakfast at the Pantry, and head to school by 8:00 a.m. Drove past Apple Pan zillions of times and yet NEVER WENT.
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: cool, thanks! on W Pico.
	♥ 5:48pm Irwin: Got a sudden hankering for sausage and peppas. THE SAUSAGE AND THE PEPPAS.
	5:49pm geezerette: Still love Phillipe's. Also family owned. Wooden phone booths still have working phones.
	5:49pm Dean: That was an early female hip-hop group, wasn't it?
	5:49pm Listener Robert: Likely THIS Tony Ferretti?: www.styleentertainment.net... I wonder if he could've been the opener I saw for Elvis Presley in 1969. But I remember only the 2 pantomimists.
	♥ 5:49pm Irwin: Robert: YES, that's Sabu.
	5:50pm Dean: Damn, Phillipe's mustard is amazing. Gimme a lamb dip with blue cheese, lemonade and a paper straw that won't last.
	5:50pm Dean: For martinis--and we've been here before, geezerette--Musso & Frank.
	♥ 5:51pm common: Wooden phone booths. Wonderful
	♥ 5:51pm Michael 98145: - getting hungry up here -
	5:51pm Laura L: So is this one his son and Connie Francis's b.f.? http://www.mfwright.com/connie_francis/IMG_8178small.jpg
	5:52pm geezerette: Mmmmm, sausage & peppaas. Dean, yum. We love that place. Both places!
	♥ 5:52pm Michael 98145: cripes, great show. thank you again, Irwin.

	♥ 5:53pm Sem Chumbo: What Michael ^ said. See ya later, Irwin.
	♥ 5:53pm common: Geezerette.
	5:53pm Listener Robert: But geezerette, did the roaches bring their own syrup?
	5:54pm geezerette: Irwin, thanks for all of it!
	5:56pm geezerette: LR, too afraid to look. Think they just used the pitchers on table like everyone else.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm rrg: Excellent program. Thanks. I don't regret blowing off work at all.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chris: cool Bent Knee. thanks for another in a long string of excellent shows, Irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: ( that Bent Knee was great, too )
