	12:12pm coelacanth∅: hello Mary and 100%ers
	12:16pm Mary Wing: Greetings, coelacanth! Glad you made it!
	12:33pm doctorjazz: Love this Hazmat Modine! Do That Rag!
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: Cimbalom wins!
	12:46pm Mary Wing: Hi Henry! Cinnabons?
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: i'm listening now but typing this in the future.
	1:13pm rbrt: hope you're feeling better Mary!
	1:13pm Mary Wing: I'm teleporting to the time when I sound like a normal person, heh.
	1:13pm Mary Wing: Hi rbrt! I feel better but I still sound sick, feh.
	🛎 1:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: The make-up Bowie is sounding good.
	1:29pm Stanley: Hey-ho Mary and people.
	1:30pm Mary Wing: Hi-ho, Stanley!
	1:52pm Gaylord Fields: If this is the only way I can "see" Mary anymore, so be it! Loving the program, and delurking to proclaim said love.
	1:53pm Mary Wing: Dearest Gaylord, hello! My heart bursts with love for you!
	1:57pm Webhamster Henry: Good snowy day music!
	1:58pm Mary Wing: Is it snowing upstate, Henry? We got a little wet snow here but it's not sticking.
	1:59pm Gaylord Fields: Mary, I adore and miss you too!
	2:03pm northguineahills: I'm jealous of all of your snow, even when it's cold down here, we never get snow :(
	2:05pm Webhamster Henry: Your idea of '3 of a kind' is like those cultures that count "1, 2, many"
	2:05pm Webhamster Henry: We have about 8-10 " here in Kingston.
	2:06pm doctorjazz: I can live without clearing more snow this winter (but seems I likely won't).
	2:06pm Webhamster Henry: or in your numerical system, "many"
	2:07pm Mary Wing: Many, indeed!
	2:08pm Mary Wing: Hey there, NGH, didn't see you pop in!
	2:09pm Mary Wing: Forget the horns, dig that wah-wah!
	2:11pm northguineahills: I've never heard that Chicago song before, and I own a Chicago LP.
	2:12pm Mary Wing: <sputters> WHUT? I know you were a late bloomer, musically speaking, but WHUT?
	2:12pm Mary Wing: ;-)
	2:12pm Spaceman One: Hello Mary, will we be hearing the Bruce Foxton version of 25 Or 6 To 4?
	2:13pm Webhamster Henry: "In what may be a coincidence, the song's writer, Robert Lamm, had recently written and sung another Chicago hit, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", for which this song's title can be seen to serve as an answer." -- WikiPedia
	2:13pm Mary Wing: Hi Spaceman One, unfortunately yes. He did not do a good version, I am sad to say.
	2:16pm Carmichael: Awesome, got back in time to hear 25 versions of 6 to 4 ....
	2:17pm northguineahills: En serio, I've never heard this song before!
	2:20pm Carmichael: Back when Chicago was good ... :)
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: okay this one's very good
	2:20pm Dean: Back in 1970 you couldn't NOT hear this song. It was played constantly. I have to say, too, that Chicago's version has held up. Terry Kath was amazing, and the horns were hot. Wish I'd kept the LPs.
	2:21pm Mary Wing: The voice sounds a little autotuned, though, don't you think?
	2:21pm doctorjazz: It was so present, one wanted to get away from it at the time (at least, this one...). Nice to hear now, though.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: yes now that i'm in the room i hear the autotune. blugh... but it's still good, except for that. makes up for the last 2!
	2:24pm Mary Wing: Why, Bruce, why?
	2:25pm Mary Wing: He also made sure to put his bass really far up in the mix, just cause he can, I guess.
	2:26pm northguineahills: My parents only met in late autumn, 1970, and my father stopped listening to music shortly after I was born (My mother never did).
	2:27pm doctorjazz: Like a Zep/Chicago mash.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: this almost has a zep's ripoff of babe i'm gonna leave you thing going on.
	2:29pm Spaceman One: "Baby, I'm gonna leave you"
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: oh^ never mind!
	2:29pm Dean: OMG, Vince Neil covered it: https://www.whosampled.com/Vince-Neil/25-or-6-to-4/
	2:29pm Mary Wing: Heh heh.
	2:30pm Dean: You're gonna play it, aren't you? Aren't you?!
	2:31pm northguineahills: And I thought I knew my classic rock (I even used to dj a classic rock night in Brooklyn, ages ago).
	2:33pm doctorjazz: Like this vocal treatment!
	2:34pm Webhamster Henry: I like the vocal & marching band versions. I should try making a music box version.
	2:34pm doctorjazz: And Marching Band! (Monica used to play marching bands regularly, miss them)
	2:35pm david w: Hard to remember when marching bands were only allowed to play Sousa and school anthems. Playing this helped the poor kids feel cool.
	2:36pm Webhamster Henry: I have two records of Hal Leonard Marching Band arrangement demos from I think the late 70s and early 80s. Probably found at the WFMU Rec Fair.
	2:36pm Mary Wing: Howdy, David and the Ridgewood crew!
	2:37pm david w: Howdy to y'all!
	2:39pm coelacanth∅: damn. this one's so close to being really good...just - why the rearrangement toward a major key here and there? bad idea.
	2:40pm steveo: Hi! Unfortunately, I'm home sick today with my son and not listening. I'll have to circle back for the "25 or..." covers (We played it while we were in marching band too!)
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: yeah, new singer please.
	2:41pm Webhamster Henry: It'd be good on banjo!
	2:42pm steveo: (i'm not sure we thought it was cool, though, david)
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: sorry! it's frustrating! so many good musical ideas in that one but then enough bad decisions on the singer's part to throw it off.
	2:42pm Mary Wing: Hi Steveo, sorry to hear your son is sick, I know how he feels!
	2:43pm steveo: thanks, we're both sick! I hope you're feeling better though....
	2:43pm northguineahills: I schlepped through marching band my HS years, playing the coolest instrument around, the mellophone! (marching French Horn).
	2:44pm steveo: (i mean we thought is was fun, sure, but by the mid-80s, probably not cool :)
	2:44pm david w: Band leaders just got sick of kids whining about playing pop music and this one was just "brassy" enough to make the case. Eventually I even heard Purple Haze on the football field.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Love the Ukelelists version! (is that really the word for ukulele players?)
	2:45pm steveo: smoke on the water was a big one
	2:46pm doctorjazz: Maybe Rocky meets Chicago?
	2:46pm Mary Wing: Is this guy for real with the vocal histrionics?
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: haha, smoke on the water. that should not happen. all those instruments and they're going back and forth between 3 chords.
	2:48pm Listener Bob in PGH: Blasmasters - wince!
	2:48pm steveo: well, we were the tigers, so there was the obligatory "eye of"; yeah coela, the low brass was pretty repetitive on that one...
	2:49pm steveo: ok i'm listening now :)
	2:50pm Sem: Lovely idea, Mary. Getting a kick out of these covers, thanks for getting it together for us all. See you next time...and I hope your healing continues.
	2:50pm steveo: wondering how much I can take....
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: ha more zep!
	2:51pm Carmichael: Maybe Amanda did a version!
	2:51pm northguineahills: I played Smoke on The Water in HS on a football field.
	2:51pm coelacanth∅: ...and ,classical gas?
	2:52pm Listener Bob in PGH: I'm sure there is a MIDI version of this song out there in the ether
	2:52pm Webhamster Henry: Funny interpolations in this Moogy one!
	2:52pm steveo: 8-bit www.youtube.com...
	2:53pm Dean: Ha!
	🛎 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Has anyone at the Hoof 'n' Mouth done this song?
	2:55pm Gaylord Fields: Someone oughta give Ridgewood Radio a heads-up. I think Mary will be playing versions of this song until 25 or 6 to 4.
	2:55pm Mary Wing: Hi Bob and Dean, thanks for coming with me to the home stretch! The last cover will be the BEST ONE, I promise!
	2:55pm Listener Bob in PGH: @ steveo - I initially took your comment about not being able to take much more literally!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: Gaylord haha
	2:56pm Dean: Gotta admit, the Vince Neil is pretty solid.
	2:56pm steveo: it was ambiguous! (i've only heard a couple though)
	2:56pm steveo: pretty straight cover though
	2:56pm steveo: (vince i mean)
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: the Vince Neil is good. i don't love the vox but i don't hate 'em.
	2:58pm Dean: In fact, Chicago stole the tune from JA&G.
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Mary did in fact save the best for last
	2:59pm Mary Wing: Heh heh!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: does anybody really know what ja&g is?
	3:00pm Mary Wing: David, I'm afraid I'm going to run over into your show for a minute, sorry!
	3:00pm Gaylord Fields: @Mary Wing: Thanks, dear love!
	3:01pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth∅: I think it was the Fourth of July.
	3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mary!
	3:01pm steveo: thanks -- see you next week
	3:02pm Mary Wing: Thanks, everybody!
	3:02pm Webhamster Henry: Lots of fun this week, thanks, Mary!
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Thanks!
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: Gaylord Thank you! wasn't sure that was going anywhere!
