WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 13, 2018

Listener comments!
	11:29am Parq: Hah! I was already planning on sushi for lunch.
	11:37am annie: i tried to find a video of the Hamburger Choo Choo in huntington. just outside shots of the building. it was we kids' treat to go there when we went shoe shopping at the stride rite.
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: The first time I saw a video by someone deft enough to place a camera on a sushi conveyor was a great day. Hey, UM and all!
	12:00pm Roberto: A hunka hunka burnin' unk!
	12:01pm annie: (it was a burger joint with a train track running your order around the counter to your place.)
	12:01pm Parq: < exhales >
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Time to Hink and Dink!
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: It's a special day!
	12:02pm Dominick: Hokey Smokes!
	12:02pm V Priceless: Hey UM!
	12:03pm βrian: I remember the first time I went to one of those sushi conveyor places. I couldn't figure how anyone could eat them that quickly. I was at wit's end.
	12:03pm Scraps deSelby: doggone
	12:03pm Mark Hurst: Hi UM! Greetings from NYC.
	12:03pm Parq: Honolulu, yet. Neat!
	12:04pm βrian: Boy, this is going to sound different when they get to Flint.
	12:04pm Parq: Because when you think of Hawaii, you think of banjo-driven country sounds.
	12:05pm Parq: βrian, laughing to keep from crying.
	12:05pm Scraps deSelby: Wahkiecoocooboobie!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: Heron Oblivion is amazing. So wish I'd caught their Monty Hall show.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Parq! Annie! Jmes! Roberto! Doc! VP! Brisn! Scraps! Mark!
	12:07pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	12:07pm Goyim in the AM: You know, I think they were phoning it in extra hard the day they wrote the Honolulu version.
	12:08pm joe: @ljamesfw was a very good show. Endless Boogie opening was pretty great as well.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Goyim!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: I'm more than ready for a new Heron Oblivion album.
	12:14pm Parq: Not familiar with Heron Oblivion myself, but this is fire-breathing.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: Guessing you have the live one, @UM? Also, hi.
	12:16pm joe: Now spread the word my children
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Jeff. Hah, Joe!
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: Run don't walk to their Bandcamp site after the show (or after Sheila's too) and click on "Your Hollows." The whole album is a wild-haired joy.
	12:18pm Dean: All along I've assumed without giving it a second thought that the "It's just after [noon/midnight] in [somewhere]" epigraphs were accurate. But it's just after 6:00am in Honolulu.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: That's just bad editing on my part, Dean. I said "6:00 AM."
	🛒 12:19pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Uncle Michael! Listening at work today. Hi Scraps - this is crow from the Well.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: fixed, thank you!
	12:20pm Dean: Whew. All is right with the world.
	12:21pm joe: Oh I like this a lot.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	12:23pm still b/p: It's the music they are playing. It's the show I am enjoying. It's the lunch I am approaching.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: s b/p!
	12:27pm Parq: 6 AM in Honolulu is near the end of the so-called Haole Walk, when all of the jet-lagged tourists from the east coast can be found walking the beach at dawn because they can't sleep any later.
	12:31pm joe: I second everything that UM just said about Maidavale.
	🛒 12:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: And 10 PM is what we call Maui Midnight.
	12:32pm joe: And yes you are the bringer of MaidaVale to WFMU
	12:32pm joe: By the way this Eden Ahbez is AMAZING!!!!
	12:33pm Jeff Golick: MY FACE!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: PP's just warming up.
	12:35pm joe: I have a feeling we have not even started here
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: THEN SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH MY FACE!
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: brb
	12:36pm Jeff Golick: [hollering to no one in particular] WHO'S GOT THE MEDICATED GOO!?
	12:36pm Parq: Lizzie, if it's a reference to the same phenomenon, I would think 10 PM would be more like 2 AM. When we went during my teen-hood, we couldn't make it past 7 PM the first night.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Medicated Goo is a big fave Traffic track for me. Never heard P.P.'s version till just recently. That 2017 comp. is excellent.
	12:39pm Parq: Question: is there also a slick, new-fangled medicated goo?
	12:40pm Scraps deSelby: <crow>!!!
	12:41pm gloomsday: hi UM and friends :)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: gloomsday!
	12:43pm Doug Schulkind: Hackamore Brick, from Park Slope, Brooklyn!
	12:44pm efd: on occasion featuring WFMU DJs John Allen and yours truly,
	12:44pm efd: (p.s. - Hi Uncle Michael! Working from home today, so I'm able to listen for a change.)
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: WOW! Slow work day, Evan?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: I am honored.
	12:45pm efd: oh pshaw
	12:48pm still b/p: Hackamore is like a Groucho movie character name.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: I had no idea about you guys and Hackamore Brick, btw.
	12:50pm Parq: FT&hPG via Amazon: An oft-overlooked piece of the L.A. pop-psych jigsaw, this 1967 oddity combines typically complex vocal arrangements by the legendary Curt Boettcher with virtuoso guitar interludes from L.A. session legend Mike Deasy, and features backing from the team responsible for the landmark Millennium and Sagittarius LPs
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: That is all correct!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklings
	12:55pm efd: That version of Alley Oop was fantastic! Yeah, John befriended the two main guys in HB maybe 10 or so years ago, and we ended up playing a show with them at Cake Shop in something like 2011, and then on Terre T's show when she did a live broadcast from Maxwell's just before they closed in 2013.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: That is pretty great.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:00pm Little Danny: This Steve Gunn is really nice. Reminds me a bit of Jerry Garcia's pedal steel playing
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Danny! I agree.
	1:07pm doctorjazz: Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeee, whatcha gonna do, can't help singing in the office (in 4 part harmony, yet).
	1:07pm still b/p: In the top 3 of guaranteed-everyone-sings-along-with-everywhere-at-all-times songs. I don't immediately have the other two to specify.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: I literally learned it in a country-hippie singalong bar in 1979.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: haven't heard this in at least 35 years. this is the first time hearing it on something besides a crappy starter stereo.
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: better than i remember it. (and i like that they spell Amie the pretty way)
	1:10pm Roberto: For some reason I never heard this song until I was in a Pier 1 in the late '80s. My first impression was "damn this song runs long."
	🛒 1:11pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Parq, I visit Maui from California so the time difference isn't so severe.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Roberto, that's called "The Pier 1 Effect." Then there's "The Pottery Barn Corollary."
	1:15pm Dean: This song about wine is the reason I bought that album by Emmylou.
	1:15pm Roberto: Oh crap maybe it was a Pottery Barn. The '80s, man. It's all a blur.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Everything I hate about World Music I learned at Pottery Barn.
	1:18pm Dean: Check out this new book by the namesake of Ruben & the Jets: https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520297234
	1:18pm Parq: Time for that sushi.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: UM hahaha!
	1:18pm still b/p: Remarkable that anyone didn't hear it for decades or heard it late in the game. It's become quite a groaner for some folks or at least a long-time love/hate thing because of its endurance as an over-familiar standard and its irresistible sing-along cuing. Can bring out the grouch.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'll read that!
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: "putumayo barn"
	1:24pm Roberto: Holy shite what a show!
	1:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Heron Oblivion is really great, I only listen to them here on FMU , though. Reminds me of 75 Dollar Bill, same vintage.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Vintage: now? Neil!
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: i didn't know Amie was such a standard. it's weird that i've never heard it in the pub that i go to, when i go to the pub. there's a rural vibe there and often classic 60s-70s radio hits, and sometimes country music and certainly "sing-along" songs get played on the jukebox.
	1:31pm Dominick: Oh but 'cha know, yeah!
	1:32pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael!
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Dom! Amie = early Vince Gill, btw.
	1:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @UM-well, from a couple years ago? Anyway, some guy on the Youtube comment board said Heron Oblivion's first album reminded him of Trees' second album from 1970.
	1:33pm geezerette: Fonky!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: If you hear any noise, it's just...
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Guido! Geezer!
	🛒 1:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Love this version of Me and the Boys
	1:35pm geezerette: :D !
	1:35pm Rich in Washington: I can't not think of Shakes The Clown when I hear this song.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sin City, bummer (but got back for NRBQ, cool)
	1:36pm still b/p: Amie was included in a seemingly permanent playlist at a small midwest neighborhood bar, frequented in college, along with (much) Marshall Tucker, Loudon Wainwright, Lynyrd Skynyrd... Will ya play Taylor Swift's new cover of Earth, Wind and Fire's September...willya huh willya? "grim and forgettable," "singularly bereft of joy, rhythm, syncopation"...willya?
	1:36pm paul b: Me and the Boys! Man I've humming this song to myself all week... Well all right.
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sin City, bummer (but got back for NRBQ, cool)
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Status Quo has been described to a as head boppin' music for white guys. I can offer no rebuttal.
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: i really want to hear that Taylor Swift song now. (even as i know i may tune it out before it's finished)
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ...inquiring minds want to know.
	1:41pm joe: Hold up I have a Columbian friend who is a bigger Status Quo fan then anyone I know. :)
	1:43pm Dominick: Am I the only person who finds EW&F just "meh"? I'll take Status Quo over them any time
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: But see, I don't. You have a rebuttal. This is for middle aged rockers for whom head boppin' constitutes dancing. And I'm ok with that.
	1:43pm Parq: Back. I went to a middle-class suburban college with a big sports program in the 70s, so you can just imagine the mixed emotions I have when I hear "Amie".
	1:44pm βrian: $16 seems a bit dear for bibimbap, but it was mighty good.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: How much for a bibihendl?
	🛒 1:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I just remember Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men" which is sort of stately and slow, not rocking. I didn't know this song and like it much better! Dominick I've never liked EW&F, can't stand the singer's falsetto, which is a problem and was when I was in college in the 70s and everybody played them.
	1:45pm Mark Hurst: This is quite a... chicken nugget
	1:47pm Guido from Cologne: Guees you must have played "Anton aus Tirol" by DJ Ötzi already.
	1:48pm Asheville Jon: ahhh, good ole Herb Alpert. makes the sunny days brighter!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: i'd rather hear "bibi-hendl" than that status quo song (which is only the 2nd song by them i know i've heard)
	🛒 1:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hard not to like Herb.
	1:48pm melinda: Hi all! Just in time for the Mexican Shuffle, yay.
	1:48pm Mark Hurst: I saw Herb play live not long ago - still sounds great
	1:49pm Dean: Wouldn't you kinda expect a band called Status Quo to sound the same album after album?
	1:50pm Goyim in the AM: I refuse to listen to Anton aus Tirol unless I am shitfaced in a wooden hut and wearing ski boots.
	1:50pm still b/p: Always the Teaberry Shuffle to me...not my fault.
	1:50pm Dominick: Play a big hole 45 of "Pictures of Matchstick Men" without a spindle adaptor fully off center. OOOh, Scary Kids!
	1:51pm geezerette: Dean,snicker...
	1:51pm βrian: Well, you should wear a hat, too, at least.
	1:51pm Matt in Nebraska: I never heard NRBQ's "Me and the Boys", did that come before or after the Dave Edmunds version?
	1:51pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The mainstream media hates Taylor Swift, hence the smears. She is a righteous babe, in my book.
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: earth wind & fire had lots of bland material; but there were shining moments...in my opinion. (though it's true i rarely think about putting it on)
	1:52pm βrian: Now, Tupelo Chain Sex would have to be the perfect segue.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Jon! Melinda! Matt!
	1:53pm Dean: Speaking of bands that sound the same, Zeke released its first album in almost fifteen years a couple weeks ago. Like they never left. Early EW&F is more daring, rather interesting.
	1:53pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I just borrowed a Gram Parsons double CD from the library and I gotta say, I am impressed! Apparently he was Alt Country before Alt Country really existed according to an article I read online.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Gram didn't exactly invent alt-country but he was at the party where the mother got busy...
	1:54pm Dominick: @Matt in Nebraska: The Q did it in 1980, Edmunds in 1982
	1:54pm βrian: Has EW&F ever done a climate-change tour?
	1:54pm geezerette: Melinda! All the fun people are here! Yay UM!
	1:55pm Parq: still b/p - that's it! I'd been trying to remember what commercial or TV show used that Alpert track.
	1:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I tried some Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, the guy that did Your Cheatin' Heart....what other country should I try? Roy Clark? Ideas? Who is LEGENDARY that I should not miss?
	1:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hank Williams.
	1:56pm melinda: I love Loudon W.
	1:56pm still b/p: Parq - Watch vid for full flashback: www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: MERLE MERLE MERLE
	1:57pm Dean: Not legendary by a mile, but I have a soft spot for the late Larry Hosford's first two albums. Worked with Leon Russel and George Harrison, so there's a pop feel to it. Jerry Jeff Walker, maybe?
	1:57pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I got a Merl album, aim to get MORE! YES Merle. He is a GIANT.
	1:57pm geezerette: Bob Wills!
	1:58pm Dean: Buck Owens, naturally.
	1:58pm Dominick: Buck, Lefty, G. Jones, Doc,
	1:58pm melinda: I learned from his WTF interview that he was a member of Spinal Tap in a bit they did before the movie came out.
	1:58pm βrian: I like Jurr-Jeff.
	1:58pm Dean: Dolly Parton. Mighta heard of her?
	1:58pm geezerette: This one's a winner too. All them Wainrights...
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: "the guy who did 'your cheatin' heart'" haha! (sorry) ...yes, Merle and Roy Acuff had some good ones.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Dean-I wanna get the Jolene album. LOVE that song too!
	1:59pm βrian: Oh, Mose Knows.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Roy Acuff? Never heard of him. Great! NOW I will!
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: he's way back,Neil -starting before Hank. some of it quite cheesy, but some really good.
	2:03pm geezerette: toooooooo...slo-o-o-o-o-o-w...
	2:03pm Dean: More folk than country, but who cares about categories? Townes VZ
	2:03pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @coeleacanth-as long as I can find it on CD I am ok. Don't have a turntable for LPs or 78s!
	2:05pm geezerette: Stones "Girl with the Far Away Eyes" always cracks me up.
	2:06pm melinda: Lefty=Lefty Frizzell, Doc=Doc Watson (I assume)
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Nobody noticing Elton?
	🛒 2:06pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Rod Stewart got bad fast, but his early stuff is so, so great.
	2:06pm listener Rey: George Jones, Waylon, and pre-Stardust Willie Nelson. And yes, Merle Merle Merle
	2:07pm geezerette: What listener Ray sez.
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: Neil - compilations exist. stand-outs i recall at the moment: "precious jewel";"prodigal son";"wreck on the highway";" Jole Blon"...
	2:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Last year it was Jazz, this year its Country. And Heron Oblivion!
	2:09pm βrian: What was that documentary, Heartworm Highways?
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: (i'm not super into him, mind you. i just mention him because he rarely gets mentioned and i think is worth remembering)
	2:10pm Parq: Yes, I'm sure you all recognize this lovely melody (did that commercial run nationally, or was it a New York thing?).
	2:10pm geezerette: hahaha! cheesy Tchaikovsky!
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: Heron Oblivion is perfect!
	2:11pm geezerette: Elton has a great voice.
	2:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-Hank Williams said Roy Acuff is the King of Country, so I gotta check him out to be sure. Funnily, my wife dislikes Johnny Cash, but does like Merl. Takes all kinds!
	2:13pm coelacanth∅: didn't ALL of them take a scary plunge at some point in the 70s?
	2:13pm βrian: The Antioch in OH?
	2:14pm northguineahills: Bobby Bland!
	2:14pm Parq: What a great story!
	2:15pm geezerette: Great story. :)
	2:15pm northguineahills: Every time I saw Cecil, he had amazing socks, and eschewed shoes....
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: -what Parq said thanks for sharing that.
	2:16pm listener Rey: Great story! I thought you were gonna say he was going to pull out a cassette tape but a 45 is so much better!
	2:16pm Matt in Nebraska: My father attended Antioch w/ Ed Ward and very well may have been in the room when that happened.
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: Neil, ...i don't call Johnny Cash a country artist. he did do some country tunes though!
	2:17pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil: My wife used to hate country, but I used Johnny Cash and the Carter Family as a gateway. She's cool w/ it now (well, until the mid-80s, as am I except the usual suspects who could do no wrong).
	2:17pm βrian: We had a dog was alway eschewing our shoes.
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: tee hee
	2:18pm geezerette: (Brian, heh!)
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: boy is this great!
	2:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-if Johnny Cash is not country...what is he??
	2:19pm βrian: Ricky Skaggs and his proteges were my gateway.
	2:23pm Parq: Hinky Dinky Cover Time -- how cool is that?
	2:23pm Parq: (or is this the original?)
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: this is the original...Shalamar was the cover
	2:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I have netted 11 suggestions for Country Music. Thank you discussion board!
	2:26pm geezerette: God, this SOUND. :D
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: though panning the sax is pretty bad!
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: Neil, i don't know. i guess if one HAD to put JC in one box it'd be country; but when i hear him i often don't hear it as country music.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: Heard this somewhere before, where could it be...
	2:29pm doctorjazz: (again my playlist is ahead of what's playing over my PC)
	2:30pm βrian: @coelacanth∅: Same for me, though I sure used to think of him as Country.
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: (...which i guess is why he's called country) ...but he had a lot going on - rockabilly (before it was called that?); early r&r; blues; a little hint of bluegrass; folk...and country.
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: shit! i need to go! Than you Uncle M! tchau peeps
	2:32pm Matt in Nebraska: My pop was there around 1969 or 1970. I will have to ask him about it.
	2:36pm Dominick: Yeah, Piggies!
	2:36pm Scraps deSelby: I can understand disliking EWF's falsetto, or any falsetto; but there are so many things to admire about EWF. Me, EWF is one of the all-time pop/soul acts ever. So many EWF songs are just amazing. "Shining Star", "That's the Way of the World", "Getaway", my god's sake "Fantasy": they are an original.
	2:36pm Dean: Story on the web reports he taught there late '60s to early '70s. Here, results of a search for "cecil taylor" in the WYSO archives: http://www.greenecountyroom.info/cdm/search/collection/WYSOProgram/searchterm/%22cecil%20taylor%22/order/title The players don't work for me. The concert consists of two reels, A and B, the latter of which can't be located. I take it this would not have been the event related by Mr. Ward.
	2:37pm Parq: There's a Little Jimmy Dickens novelty hit "Country Music Lover", in which a good ol' boy laments that his new girl is not one. It has lines like "she thought 'Kitty Wells' was a place a cat goes to get water". Well, there's also the line "Would you believe that she thought "Johnny Cash' was money you find in a commode". So there you are.
	2:37pm efd: I thought I recognized the voice of Andy Maltz! I keep forgetting to grab this Piggies track.
	2:37pm Dean: More about Taylor at Antioch: http://wyso.org/post/open-space-creativity-cecil-taylor-antioch
	2:39pm V Priceless: yeah baby - Stupidity!
	2:39pm Dean: 1969-1973 http://www.jazzword.com/cecil-taylors-teaching-stint-at-antioch-college-examined/
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	2:40pm Parq: Geez, I was just thinking about EWF the other day, when "September Song" came on the hi fi in some bar i was in. I'm not much for falsetto soul vox, but I loved EWF even back in the day. I was thinking when I heard them last weekend that people really don't understand what phenomenal pop song craftsmen they were.
	2:41pm Dominick: This!
	2:41pm βrian: Someone mentioned during Doug's show that Cecil taught at UW-Madison, too.
	2:41pm Dominick: not EWF
	2:46pm northguineahills: Found a Korean diner that does Korean, Southern, and Korean-Southern cuisine. I approve!
	2:47pm βrian: Languid? I'll break out the chamomile and turn on the shore breeze.
	2:48pm βrian: So that's Seoul Food; not Pyongyang food. [Ugh.]
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I'm punting one of the three tracks an you'll never know what it was.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: We're about to hear one of my favorite artists at his most broken and beautiful.
	2:52pm northguineahills: Jaja, y lol βrian !
	2:53pm geezerette: UM, SO MUCH FUN! Thanks & happy weekend.
	2:54pm Parq: Have to go confer, converse and otherwise hobnob with my sister wizards. Great show, great conversation as always.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for being here, everyone. See you next week.
	2:55pm βrian: Holy River/Space Opera really ought to sound cheesy. But nay.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great show, UM, great weekend, all! (too busy to get into much conversation on the board, so it goes...)
	2:55pm Dominick: Nice!
	2:56pm geezerette: Oh,I love Chet Baker so much.
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: Great show! CU Michael!
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Tanks, @UM.
	3:00pm Stanley: Hello and good bye Uncle. Thanks for the show (Been listening not chatting)
	3:00pm efd: Enjoyed the opportunity to listen today, thanks UM!
	3:00pm Roberto: Buh bai, thanks Unk!
	3:01pm northguineahills: @what Jeff said, see you in the not too distant future, UM!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all!
	11:50am Yodels used to be individually foil wrapped: BIBI HENDL ! ! ! (harkening back to Dave's Record Collection) Darn, a truncated "AMIE" - Craig Fuller sang it; Vince Gill was his replacement. Second hour veryy good, through Herb Alpert

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 13, 2018

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.

Listener comments!
	11:29am Parq: Hah! I was already planning on sushi for lunch.
	11:37am annie: i tried to find a video of the Hamburger Choo Choo in huntington. just outside shots of the building. it was we kids' treat to go there when we went shoe shopping at the stride rite.
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: The first time I saw a video by someone deft enough to place a camera on a sushi conveyor was a great day. Hey, UM and all!
	12:00pm Roberto: A hunka hunka burnin' unk!
	12:01pm annie: (it was a burger joint with a train track running your order around the counter to your place.)
	12:01pm Parq: < exhales >
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Time to Hink and Dink!
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: It's a special day!
	12:02pm Dominick: Hokey Smokes!
	12:02pm V Priceless: Hey UM!
	12:03pm βrian: I remember the first time I went to one of those sushi conveyor places. I couldn't figure how anyone could eat them that quickly. I was at wit's end.
	12:03pm Scraps deSelby: doggone
	12:03pm Mark Hurst: Hi UM! Greetings from NYC.
	12:03pm Parq: Honolulu, yet. Neat!
	12:04pm βrian: Boy, this is going to sound different when they get to Flint.
	12:04pm Parq: Because when you think of Hawaii, you think of banjo-driven country sounds.
	12:05pm Parq: βrian, laughing to keep from crying.
	12:05pm Scraps deSelby: Wahkiecoocooboobie!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: Heron Oblivion is amazing. So wish I'd caught their Monty Hall show.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Parq! Annie! Jmes! Roberto! Doc! VP! Brisn! Scraps! Mark!
	12:07pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	12:07pm Goyim in the AM: You know, I think they were phoning it in extra hard the day they wrote the Honolulu version.
	12:08pm joe: @ljamesfw was a very good show. Endless Boogie opening was pretty great as well.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Goyim!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: I'm more than ready for a new Heron Oblivion album.
	12:14pm Parq: Not familiar with Heron Oblivion myself, but this is fire-breathing.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: Guessing you have the live one, @UM? Also, hi.
	12:16pm joe: Now spread the word my children
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Jeff. Hah, Joe!
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: Run don't walk to their Bandcamp site after the show (or after Sheila's too) and click on "Your Hollows." The whole album is a wild-haired joy.
	12:18pm Dean: All along I've assumed without giving it a second thought that the "It's just after [noon/midnight] in [somewhere]" epigraphs were accurate. But it's just after 6:00am in Honolulu.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: That's just bad editing on my part, Dean. I said "6:00 AM."
	🛒 12:19pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Uncle Michael! Listening at work today. Hi Scraps - this is crow from the Well.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: fixed, thank you!
	12:20pm Dean: Whew. All is right with the world.
	12:21pm joe: Oh I like this a lot.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	12:23pm still b/p: It's the music they are playing. It's the show I am enjoying. It's the lunch I am approaching.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: s b/p!
	12:27pm Parq: 6 AM in Honolulu is near the end of the so-called Haole Walk, when all of the jet-lagged tourists from the east coast can be found walking the beach at dawn because they can't sleep any later.
	12:31pm joe: I second everything that UM just said about Maidavale.
	🛒 12:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: And 10 PM is what we call Maui Midnight.
	12:32pm joe: And yes you are the bringer of MaidaVale to WFMU
	12:32pm joe: By the way this Eden Ahbez is AMAZING!!!!
	12:33pm Jeff Golick: MY FACE!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: PP's just warming up.
	12:35pm joe: I have a feeling we have not even started here
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: THEN SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH MY FACE!
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: brb
	12:36pm Jeff Golick: [hollering to no one in particular] WHO'S GOT THE MEDICATED GOO!?
	12:36pm Parq: Lizzie, if it's a reference to the same phenomenon, I would think 10 PM would be more like 2 AM. When we went during my teen-hood, we couldn't make it past 7 PM the first night.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Medicated Goo is a big fave Traffic track for me. Never heard P.P.'s version till just recently. That 2017 comp. is excellent.
	12:39pm Parq: Question: is there also a slick, new-fangled medicated goo?
	12:40pm Scraps deSelby: <crow>!!!
	12:41pm gloomsday: hi UM and friends :)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: gloomsday!
	12:43pm Doug Schulkind: Hackamore Brick, from Park Slope, Brooklyn!
	12:44pm efd: on occasion featuring WFMU DJs John Allen and yours truly,
	12:44pm efd: (p.s. - Hi Uncle Michael! Working from home today, so I'm able to listen for a change.)
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: WOW! Slow work day, Evan?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: I am honored.
	12:45pm efd: oh pshaw
	12:48pm still b/p: Hackamore is like a Groucho movie character name.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: I had no idea about you guys and Hackamore Brick, btw.
	12:50pm Parq: FT&hPG via Amazon: An oft-overlooked piece of the L.A. pop-psych jigsaw, this 1967 oddity combines typically complex vocal arrangements by the legendary Curt Boettcher with virtuoso guitar interludes from L.A. session legend Mike Deasy, and features backing from the team responsible for the landmark Millennium and Sagittarius LPs
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: That is all correct!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklings
	12:55pm efd: That version of Alley Oop was fantastic! Yeah, John befriended the two main guys in HB maybe 10 or so years ago, and we ended up playing a show with them at Cake Shop in something like 2011, and then on Terre T's show when she did a live broadcast from Maxwell's just before they closed in 2013.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: That is pretty great.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:00pm Little Danny: This Steve Gunn is really nice. Reminds me a bit of Jerry Garcia's pedal steel playing
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Danny! I agree.
	1:07pm doctorjazz: Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeee, whatcha gonna do, can't help singing in the office (in 4 part harmony, yet).
	1:07pm still b/p: In the top 3 of guaranteed-everyone-sings-along-with-everywhere-at-all-times songs. I don't immediately have the other two to specify.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: I literally learned it in a country-hippie singalong bar in 1979.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: haven't heard this in at least 35 years. this is the first time hearing it on something besides a crappy starter stereo.
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: better than i remember it. (and i like that they spell Amie the pretty way)
	1:10pm Roberto: For some reason I never heard this song until I was in a Pier 1 in the late '80s. My first impression was "damn this song runs long."
	🛒 1:11pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Parq, I visit Maui from California so the time difference isn't so severe.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Roberto, that's called "The Pier 1 Effect." Then there's "The Pottery Barn Corollary."
	1:15pm Dean: This song about wine is the reason I bought that album by Emmylou.
	1:15pm Roberto: Oh crap maybe it was a Pottery Barn. The '80s, man. It's all a blur.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Everything I hate about World Music I learned at Pottery Barn.
	1:18pm Dean: Check out this new book by the namesake of Ruben & the Jets: https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520297234
	1:18pm Parq: Time for that sushi.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: UM hahaha!
	1:18pm still b/p: Remarkable that anyone didn't hear it for decades or heard it late in the game. It's become quite a groaner for some folks or at least a long-time love/hate thing because of its endurance as an over-familiar standard and its irresistible sing-along cuing. Can bring out the grouch.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'll read that!
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: "putumayo barn"
	1:24pm Roberto: Holy shite what a show!
	1:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Heron Oblivion is really great, I only listen to them here on FMU , though. Reminds me of 75 Dollar Bill, same vintage.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Vintage: now? Neil!
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: i didn't know Amie was such a standard. it's weird that i've never heard it in the pub that i go to, when i go to the pub. there's a rural vibe there and often classic 60s-70s radio hits, and sometimes country music and certainly "sing-along" songs get played on the jukebox.
	1:31pm Dominick: Oh but 'cha know, yeah!
	1:32pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael!
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Dom! Amie = early Vince Gill, btw.
	1:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @UM-well, from a couple years ago? Anyway, some guy on the Youtube comment board said Heron Oblivion's first album reminded him of Trees' second album from 1970.
	1:33pm geezerette: Fonky!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: If you hear any noise, it's just...
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Guido! Geezer!
	🛒 1:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Love this version of Me and the Boys
	1:35pm geezerette: :D !
	1:35pm Rich in Washington: I can't not think of Shakes The Clown when I hear this song.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sin City, bummer (but got back for NRBQ, cool)
	1:36pm still b/p: Amie was included in a seemingly permanent playlist at a small midwest neighborhood bar, frequented in college, along with (much) Marshall Tucker, Loudon Wainwright, Lynyrd Skynyrd... Will ya play Taylor Swift's new cover of Earth, Wind and Fire's September...willya huh willya? "grim and forgettable," "singularly bereft of joy, rhythm, syncopation"...willya?
	1:36pm paul b: Me and the Boys! Man I've humming this song to myself all week... Well all right.
	1:37pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sin City, bummer (but got back for NRBQ, cool)
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Status Quo has been described to a as head boppin' music for white guys. I can offer no rebuttal.
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: i really want to hear that Taylor Swift song now. (even as i know i may tune it out before it's finished)
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ...inquiring minds want to know.
	1:41pm joe: Hold up I have a Columbian friend who is a bigger Status Quo fan then anyone I know. :)
	1:43pm Dominick: Am I the only person who finds EW&F just "meh"? I'll take Status Quo over them any time
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: But see, I don't. You have a rebuttal. This is for middle aged rockers for whom head boppin' constitutes dancing. And I'm ok with that.
	1:43pm Parq: Back. I went to a middle-class suburban college with a big sports program in the 70s, so you can just imagine the mixed emotions I have when I hear "Amie".
	1:44pm βrian: $16 seems a bit dear for bibimbap, but it was mighty good.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: How much for a bibihendl?
	🛒 1:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I just remember Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men" which is sort of stately and slow, not rocking. I didn't know this song and like it much better! Dominick I've never liked EW&F, can't stand the singer's falsetto, which is a problem and was when I was in college in the 70s and everybody played them.
	1:45pm Mark Hurst: This is quite a... chicken nugget
	1:47pm Guido from Cologne: Guees you must have played "Anton aus Tirol" by DJ Ötzi already.
	1:48pm Asheville Jon: ahhh, good ole Herb Alpert. makes the sunny days brighter!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: i'd rather hear "bibi-hendl" than that status quo song (which is only the 2nd song by them i know i've heard)
	🛒 1:48pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hard not to like Herb.
	1:48pm melinda: Hi all! Just in time for the Mexican Shuffle, yay.
	1:48pm Mark Hurst: I saw Herb play live not long ago - still sounds great
	1:49pm Dean: Wouldn't you kinda expect a band called Status Quo to sound the same album after album?
	1:50pm Goyim in the AM: I refuse to listen to Anton aus Tirol unless I am shitfaced in a wooden hut and wearing ski boots.
	1:50pm still b/p: Always the Teaberry Shuffle to me...not my fault.
	1:50pm Dominick: Play a big hole 45 of "Pictures of Matchstick Men" without a spindle adaptor fully off center. OOOh, Scary Kids!
	1:51pm geezerette: Dean,snicker...
	1:51pm βrian: Well, you should wear a hat, too, at least.
	1:51pm Matt in Nebraska: I never heard NRBQ's "Me and the Boys", did that come before or after the Dave Edmunds version?
	1:51pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The mainstream media hates Taylor Swift, hence the smears. She is a righteous babe, in my book.
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: earth wind & fire had lots of bland material; but there were shining moments...in my opinion. (though it's true i rarely think about putting it on)
	1:52pm βrian: Now, Tupelo Chain Sex would have to be the perfect segue.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Jon! Melinda! Matt!
	1:53pm Dean: Speaking of bands that sound the same, Zeke released its first album in almost fifteen years a couple weeks ago. Like they never left. Early EW&F is more daring, rather interesting.
	1:53pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I just borrowed a Gram Parsons double CD from the library and I gotta say, I am impressed! Apparently he was Alt Country before Alt Country really existed according to an article I read online.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Gram didn't exactly invent alt-country but he was at the party where the mother got busy...
	1:54pm Dominick: @Matt in Nebraska: The Q did it in 1980, Edmunds in 1982
	1:54pm βrian: Has EW&F ever done a climate-change tour?
	1:54pm geezerette: Melinda! All the fun people are here! Yay UM!
	1:55pm Parq: still b/p - that's it! I'd been trying to remember what commercial or TV show used that Alpert track.
	1:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I tried some Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, the guy that did Your Cheatin' Heart....what other country should I try? Roy Clark? Ideas? Who is LEGENDARY that I should not miss?
	1:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hank Williams.
	1:56pm melinda: I love Loudon W.
	1:56pm still b/p: Parq - Watch vid for full flashback: www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: MERLE MERLE MERLE
	1:57pm Dean: Not legendary by a mile, but I have a soft spot for the late Larry Hosford's first two albums. Worked with Leon Russel and George Harrison, so there's a pop feel to it. Jerry Jeff Walker, maybe?
	1:57pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I got a Merl album, aim to get MORE! YES Merle. He is a GIANT.
	1:57pm geezerette: Bob Wills!
	1:58pm Dean: Buck Owens, naturally.
	1:58pm Dominick: Buck, Lefty, G. Jones, Doc,
	1:58pm melinda: I learned from his WTF interview that he was a member of Spinal Tap in a bit they did before the movie came out.
	1:58pm βrian: I like Jurr-Jeff.
	1:58pm Dean: Dolly Parton. Mighta heard of her?
	1:58pm geezerette: This one's a winner too. All them Wainrights...
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: "the guy who did 'your cheatin' heart'" haha! (sorry) ...yes, Merle and Roy Acuff had some good ones.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Dean-I wanna get the Jolene album. LOVE that song too!
	1:59pm βrian: Oh, Mose Knows.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Roy Acuff? Never heard of him. Great! NOW I will!
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: he's way back,Neil -starting before Hank. some of it quite cheesy, but some really good.
	2:03pm geezerette: toooooooo...slo-o-o-o-o-o-w...
	2:03pm Dean: More folk than country, but who cares about categories? Townes VZ
	2:03pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @coeleacanth-as long as I can find it on CD I am ok. Don't have a turntable for LPs or 78s!
	2:05pm geezerette: Stones "Girl with the Far Away Eyes" always cracks me up.
	2:06pm melinda: Lefty=Lefty Frizzell, Doc=Doc Watson (I assume)
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Nobody noticing Elton?
	🛒 2:06pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Rod Stewart got bad fast, but his early stuff is so, so great.
	2:06pm listener Rey: George Jones, Waylon, and pre-Stardust Willie Nelson. And yes, Merle Merle Merle
	2:07pm geezerette: What listener Ray sez.
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: Neil - compilations exist. stand-outs i recall at the moment: "precious jewel";"prodigal son";"wreck on the highway";" Jole Blon"...
	2:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Last year it was Jazz, this year its Country. And Heron Oblivion!
	2:09pm βrian: What was that documentary, Heartworm Highways?
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: (i'm not super into him, mind you. i just mention him because he rarely gets mentioned and i think is worth remembering)
	2:10pm Parq: Yes, I'm sure you all recognize this lovely melody (did that commercial run nationally, or was it a New York thing?).
	2:10pm geezerette: hahaha! cheesy Tchaikovsky!
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: Heron Oblivion is perfect!
	2:11pm geezerette: Elton has a great voice.
	2:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-Hank Williams said Roy Acuff is the King of Country, so I gotta check him out to be sure. Funnily, my wife dislikes Johnny Cash, but does like Merl. Takes all kinds!
	2:13pm coelacanth∅: didn't ALL of them take a scary plunge at some point in the 70s?
	2:13pm βrian: The Antioch in OH?
	2:14pm northguineahills: Bobby Bland!
	2:14pm Parq: What a great story!
	2:15pm geezerette: Great story. :)
	2:15pm northguineahills: Every time I saw Cecil, he had amazing socks, and eschewed shoes....
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: -what Parq said thanks for sharing that.
	2:16pm listener Rey: Great story! I thought you were gonna say he was going to pull out a cassette tape but a 45 is so much better!
	2:16pm Matt in Nebraska: My father attended Antioch w/ Ed Ward and very well may have been in the room when that happened.
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: Neil, ...i don't call Johnny Cash a country artist. he did do some country tunes though!
	2:17pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil: My wife used to hate country, but I used Johnny Cash and the Carter Family as a gateway. She's cool w/ it now (well, until the mid-80s, as am I except the usual suspects who could do no wrong).
	2:17pm βrian: We had a dog was alway eschewing our shoes.
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: tee hee
	2:18pm geezerette: (Brian, heh!)
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: boy is this great!
	2:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Coelacanth-if Johnny Cash is not country...what is he??
	2:19pm βrian: Ricky Skaggs and his proteges were my gateway.
	2:23pm Parq: Hinky Dinky Cover Time -- how cool is that?
	2:23pm Parq: (or is this the original?)
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: this is the original...Shalamar was the cover
	2:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I have netted 11 suggestions for Country Music. Thank you discussion board!
	2:26pm geezerette: God, this SOUND. :D
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: though panning the sax is pretty bad!
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: Neil, i don't know. i guess if one HAD to put JC in one box it'd be country; but when i hear him i often don't hear it as country music.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: Heard this somewhere before, where could it be...
	2:29pm doctorjazz: (again my playlist is ahead of what's playing over my PC)
	2:30pm βrian: @coelacanth∅: Same for me, though I sure used to think of him as Country.
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: (...which i guess is why he's called country) ...but he had a lot going on - rockabilly (before it was called that?); early r&r; blues; a little hint of bluegrass; folk...and country.
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: shit! i need to go! Than you Uncle M! tchau peeps
	2:32pm Matt in Nebraska: My pop was there around 1969 or 1970. I will have to ask him about it.
	2:36pm Dominick: Yeah, Piggies!
	2:36pm Scraps deSelby: I can understand disliking EWF's falsetto, or any falsetto; but there are so many things to admire about EWF. Me, EWF is one of the all-time pop/soul acts ever. So many EWF songs are just amazing. "Shining Star", "That's the Way of the World", "Getaway", my god's sake "Fantasy": they are an original.
	2:36pm Dean: Story on the web reports he taught there late '60s to early '70s. Here, results of a search for "cecil taylor" in the WYSO archives: http://www.greenecountyroom.info/cdm/search/collection/WYSOProgram/searchterm/%22cecil%20taylor%22/order/title The players don't work for me. The concert consists of two reels, A and B, the latter of which can't be located. I take it this would not have been the event related by Mr. Ward.
	2:37pm Parq: There's a Little Jimmy Dickens novelty hit "Country Music Lover", in which a good ol' boy laments that his new girl is not one. It has lines like "she thought 'Kitty Wells' was a place a cat goes to get water". Well, there's also the line "Would you believe that she thought "Johnny Cash' was money you find in a commode". So there you are.
	2:37pm efd: I thought I recognized the voice of Andy Maltz! I keep forgetting to grab this Piggies track.
	2:37pm Dean: More about Taylor at Antioch: http://wyso.org/post/open-space-creativity-cecil-taylor-antioch
	2:39pm V Priceless: yeah baby - Stupidity!
	2:39pm Dean: 1969-1973 http://www.jazzword.com/cecil-taylors-teaching-stint-at-antioch-college-examined/
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	2:40pm Parq: Geez, I was just thinking about EWF the other day, when "September Song" came on the hi fi in some bar i was in. I'm not much for falsetto soul vox, but I loved EWF even back in the day. I was thinking when I heard them last weekend that people really don't understand what phenomenal pop song craftsmen they were.
	2:41pm Dominick: This!
	2:41pm βrian: Someone mentioned during Doug's show that Cecil taught at UW-Madison, too.
	2:41pm Dominick: not EWF
	2:46pm northguineahills: Found a Korean diner that does Korean, Southern, and Korean-Southern cuisine. I approve!
	2:47pm βrian: Languid? I'll break out the chamomile and turn on the shore breeze.
	2:48pm βrian: So that's Seoul Food; not Pyongyang food. [Ugh.]
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I'm punting one of the three tracks an you'll never know what it was.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: We're about to hear one of my favorite artists at his most broken and beautiful.
	2:52pm northguineahills: Jaja, y lol βrian !
	2:53pm geezerette: UM, SO MUCH FUN! Thanks & happy weekend.
	2:54pm Parq: Have to go confer, converse and otherwise hobnob with my sister wizards. Great show, great conversation as always.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for being here, everyone. See you next week.
	2:55pm βrian: Holy River/Space Opera really ought to sound cheesy. But nay.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great show, UM, great weekend, all! (too busy to get into much conversation on the board, so it goes...)
	2:55pm Dominick: Nice!
	2:56pm geezerette: Oh,I love Chet Baker so much.
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: Great show! CU Michael!
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Tanks, @UM.
	3:00pm Stanley: Hello and good bye Uncle. Thanks for the show (Been listening not chatting)
	3:00pm efd: Enjoyed the opportunity to listen today, thanks UM!
	3:00pm Roberto: Buh bai, thanks Unk!
	3:01pm northguineahills: @what Jeff said, see you in the not too distant future, UM!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all!
	11:50am Yodels used to be individually foil wrapped: BIBI HENDL ! ! ! (harkening back to Dave's Record Collection) Darn, a truncated "AMIE" - Craig Fuller sang it; Vince Gill was his replacement. Second hour veryy good, through Herb Alpert
