	12:15pm Sem: Got nothing to do, so this must be the place for me. Hello, Charlie, and nothing-doings.

	12:16pm Charlie: the morning air was cool for a walk... now, it's a good time to do nuttin
	12:16pm People Like Us: Very humid here in London, would like it to rain
	12:17pm Irene: Chick! For a while he was doing hour-long sessions on Facebook live. Haven’t looked lately but they were quite wonderful.

	12:17pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Charlie: some WFMU programs could remove stripped beef from screws!
	12:17pm Mary Wing: Hello Charlie, busy-bodies, and non-busybodies! I'm still trying to figure out what a beef frame is, heh.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: And do I need one, myself?
	12:19pm People Like Us: I am not going to Google beef frame and am relying on good old analogue humans to tell me or not
	12:19pm Irene: And now one of my favorite BS&T tunes! Hitting all the right notes for me today, Charlie!
	12:19pm chresti: Very warm here, in San Gabriel, CA. Doing nothing is the plan.
	12:19pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): WFMU chatboards beat any internet search. At least for entertainment value.
	👻 12:20pm doctorjazz: Love that 1st BST
	12:20pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i wish i could sent you all big loads of the cool moist fog permeating SF today.
	12:21pm Charlie: dr jazz -- that is the 2nd BST :)
	12:21pm People Like Us: I would love some mist fog, please
	12:22pm Webhamster Henry: I like those 1st two BS&Ts.
	12:22pm Charlie: we have cool moist fog here almost every morning. i live in a bowl.
	12:22pm Webhamster Henry: Charlie: how about a nice wintry set for us to snuggle up to our hot chocolate with?
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: dr.j having owned no dremel for most of my life i've always done what Brian said. drill it out. pretty easy. you may not need it for this but a screw extractor set is a very good tool to have around.
	12:23pm chresti: Granny, I like your fog.
	12:24pm People Like Us: Can someone upholster my chair?
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: (and very easy to use)
	12:24pm annie: we had the most satisfying line of thunderboomers comethough here last night.good rain, lots of lightning.a 4-star storm!
	12:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): chresti: oh good, some of it made it to you
	12:24pm Stevemarcus: Hey Charlie!
	12:25pm Sem: Sure, so how many holsters were you thinking of?

	12:25pm People Like Us: hello Charlie
	12:26pm unpopularfred: my nothing card is blank
	12:26pm otto: good!
	12:26pm wendy del formaggio: Just popping in to say I have nothing to say.
	12:27pm chresti: Haha beef frame!
	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: I am good at covering chairs with all manner of rags and beach towels. Is that considered upholstery?
	12:28pm coelacanth∅: i'll see those 4-5 holsters and upholster you one
	12:29pm People Like Us: It's wicker so I need someone to bend a very old bamboo in the 1970s
	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: Wendy, can we melt some cheese on that?
	12:30pm bam bam∅: boo
	12:30pm otto: munchin' some squeaky cheese curd
	12:31pm People Like Us: It's probably raining in Abergavenny
	12:31pm Webhamster Henry: @Vicki that wouldn't be a peacock chair, would it be?
	12:31pm Sem: bend a very old bamboo
	12:31pm chresti: I think bamboo will bend with steamy fog.
	12:31pm Bill W: Strangely, i have a childhood memory of hearing "Abergavenny" on an episode of... CAPTAIN KANGAROO. I wonder if I am deluded?
	👻 12:31pm doctorjazz: It's late for a correction, but it was bed frame (but I like beef frame better). Moved 1 box, time for a lunch break.
	12:32pm People Like Us: it's one with thin metal legs and circular bamboo and it was my grandparents but it got wet and some of the bamboo broke :(
	12:32pm Franco Twinkie: My friend Bruce is an expert at bending bamboo, but he lives in L.A.
	12:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i'm going to keep imagining a beef frame full of stripped screws
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: Let's all fix it over Zoom!
	12:33pm People Like Us: oh i just looked up peacock chair and it's sort of like that but without the head bit, just the circle
	12:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Webhamster Henry: i'm laughing til i cry over here!
	12:34pm Irene: I don’t know if it’s just me but the signal got all wonky on my iPhone.
	12:34pm Charlie: Bill re Abergavenny -- I wouldn't be surprised. I have my own recollections, which I will share in a bit.
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: i also must reupholster a chair, some day. it's a sturdy wooden chair that's collapsible. i picked it from a junk pile. it's funny because it's folded width is around 12" thick. it barely takes any less space folded than it does open. ... it actually would make some good firewood.
	12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): this would be a fine karaoke song
	12:38pm Bryce: ahoy-hoy
	12:39pm People Like Us: HHerro Briyce
	12:39pm Bryce: ruruuuuu!
	12:39pm coelacanth∅: wide-open mouth singing. i don't do that. give me a George Harrison song for karaoke.
	12:39pm Charlie: buh-buh-buh-bryce!
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: Bryyyyyyyyeeeece!
	12:40pm Charlie: speaking of karaoke, was this ever done with the hoof 'n' mouth?
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: Nobody beats the Biz!!
	12:42pm Charlie: LJFW, I'll meet you down at Albee square Mall.
	12:42pm Stevemarcus: Love This!
	12:43pm Charlie: Steve!
	12:43pm wendy del formaggio: “Be like 98.7 and KISS my ass” is genius.
	12:45pm Dave in Vermont: hey Wendy! Vermont represent- i also thought that 98.8 Kiss Fm line was genius
	12:45pm Stevemarcus: Charlie!
	12:47pm wendy del formaggio: Hey neighbor Dave! I dunno. You could live all the way up in Derby Line or something, but you’re still my neighbor.
	12:47pm Dave in Vermont: at City Market- dealing with Seacrest drama today
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: Donovan is the grooviest.
	12:48pm People Like Us: He is, he should stop going on about The Beatles all the time
	12:49pm Peter Nelson: Hi Chaz et al.
	12:49pm wendy del formaggio: Dave: oh right! Yer in Onion-River-land. Oy, “having to deal w Seacrest” brings back shitty retail memories. Haha
	12:51pm wendy del formaggio: Charlie, my Mema (may she rest in peace) LOVED Della Reese, and so now I get to think about Mema, which is a lovely thing. Thank you.
	12:51pm βrian: I have many chores on my list, but my cat has pinned me down. So I'm Busy Doing Nothing.
	12:52pm Peter Nelson: I think I saw Kim Wilde has a new album out. Taking a break from the garden.
	12:52pm Sarah (Listen With): Hello Charlie and fans of Charlie.
	12:53pm listener james from westwood: In the variety show of your life, Charlie, do you ever run into Waylon Flowers and Madame? Are they still on speaking terms?
	12:54pm Peter Nelson: Abergavenny is in Wales, but The Abergavenny Arms is a pub in Rodmell, down the road from us, where Virginia Woolf threw herself in the river.
	12:58pm Peter Nelson: 'Aber' is old celtic for river mouth, both Scottish and Welsh, in case you needed to know that.
	12:58pm Charlie: Peter, I do need to know that!
	12:59pm Charlie: Wendy, always happy to remind you of your Mema
	1:01pm wendy del formaggio: Thank you Charlie! ❤️ She also used to sing along to KC & The Sunshine Band’s “Shake Your Booty” when it came on the radio. No wonder I turned out the way I did.
	1:02pm Charlie: Mema was freeform!
	1:03pm Charlie: this song is a little distorted at the end, but I thought it was worth it:)
	1:04pm Charlie: James, Waylon's agent will never be able to slip me enough cash under the table to get those two on my show!
	1:04pm wendy del formaggio: Hahaha, Mema was totally freeform! I think I might start a comic strip about her today.
	1:05pm Peter Nelson: Oh yes.
	1:05pm People Like Us: OOOOH nice Golden Brown version!
	1:05pm unpopularfred: sound may have been distorted, but meaning was clear
	1:06pm Charlie: I have Peter to thank for this. The video is amazing. I'll post the link in a minute.
	1:06pm Peter Nelson: May I? www.youtube.com...

	1:07pm Peter Nelson: Had me totally fooled the first time I saw it
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: I'm late. But I have an excuse.
	1:08pm robertschellekens: Hi Charlie, nice you're back for the moment! I enjoy your show a lot!
	1:10pm Webhamster Henry: If you have some time, dig up Ruth Draper's The Italian Lesson for her take on Dante.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: Awww... I missed Africa Benny. I like that record!
	1:11pm Charlie: Uncle Michael -- did you give in your tardy slip at the nurse's office?
	1:12pm Charlie: in the video he makes it look like the brubeck quartet are really playing golden brown! www.youtube.com...
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I had my slip when I came in here...I swear.
	1:17pm People Like Us: I would never have guessed this was Jaap
	1:18pm chresti: Nice loop
	1:20pm βrian: I recall climbing la Sainte Victoire, picking thyme and rosemary.
	1:21pm unpopularfred: when I was in jr high I wrote song that had the line "I know I'm going nowhere, but I won't get there today"
	1:22pm Peter Nelson: Bodhi!!! Not body
	1:23pm Peter Nelson: emfmab.blogspot.com
	1:23pm Peter Nelson: Ta for the plug.You're a sport.
	1:27pm Charlie: fred -- takes a long to get nowhere!
	1:28pm unpopularfred: well, jr high was a long time ago
	1:28pm Webhamster Henry: The little Bluegrass band I used to play with used to do Fishing Blues. but not with a panpipe, I'd be on melodica.
	1:29pm Charlie: not autoharp?
	1:29pm Dean: Darn it, missed Jaap Blonk. Corresponded with him last week to acquire his Artaud stuff.
	1:29pm Webhamster Henry: I played autoharp with them for a while, but there were too many strings in that band.
	1:30pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Charlie! I don't have much to say but I have a lot to listen to. So good to have you back!
	1:31pm βrian: Bluegrass theremin is an unexploited niche.
	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: @βrian we just use musical saw instead. Less electricity!
	1:37pm βrian: When was the old BDN slot? Trying to remember.
	1:38pm Gaylord Fields: Broadside is news to me — a distaff McHale's Navy (and technically a spinoff)! How did the existence of this show escape me? I don't expect to learn when I come here, dammit!
	1:38pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry, that's a non-sequitur
	1:39pm Gaylord Fields: Anyhoo...did I mention how glad I am that Chaz is back?
	1:41pm Charlie: Hi Gaylord! Good to see you again:)
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: i forgot to mention earlier how that image reminds me of painter Robert Gonsalves -tinkering with scale and illusion
	1:42pm Ike: Hi! Are we randomly bringing up old obscure and short-lived TV shows now? I'm good at that. The Critic! The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.! MANTIS! Otherworld! Sorry, I'll stop now.
	1:43pm Charlie: How about the Pruitts of Southampton?
	1:43pm Webhamster Henry: Irwin will be summoned by Lucia Pamela tunes.
	1:44pm βrian: "Follow your non-sequiturs," Mom uded to say — randomly and without context.
	1:45pm Julie: Love the Lucia Pamela
	1:45pm Julie: Ike The Critic was great!

	1:51pm Michael 98145: Yes. Busy doing essentially nothing.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Henry played "the quills".
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: i listened a lot back then, via fm. thursday was a tough time for me to tune in. (still is, though not as much at the moment) saturdays are better for me. (for the time being)
	👻 1:52pm doctorjazz: Love that Fishin' Blues (and missed it); Taj Mahal does a great cover of it.
	1:53pm chresti: Thanks Charlie!
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: wait, what's that moon called?

	12:17pm Mary Wing: Hello Charlie, busy-bodies, and non-busybodies! I'm still trying to figure out what a beef frame is, heh.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: And do I need one, myself?
	12:19pm People Like Us: I am not going to Google beef frame and am relying on good old analogue humans to tell me or not
	12:19pm Irene: And now one of my favorite BS&T tunes! Hitting all the right notes for me today, Charlie!
	12:19pm chresti: Very warm here, in San Gabriel, CA. Doing nothing is the plan.
	12:19pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): WFMU chatboards beat any internet search. At least for entertainment value.
	👻 12:20pm doctorjazz: Love that 1st BST
	12:20pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i wish i could sent you all big loads of the cool moist fog permeating SF today.

	12:22pm Charlie: we have cool moist fog here almost every morning. i live in a bowl.
	12:22pm Webhamster Henry: Charlie: how about a nice wintry set for us to snuggle up to our hot chocolate with?
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: dr.j having owned no dremel for most of my life i've always done what Brian said. drill it out. pretty easy. you may not need it for this but a screw extractor set is a very good tool to have around.
	12:23pm chresti: Granny, I like your fog.
	12:24pm People Like Us: Can someone upholster my chair?
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: (and very easy to use)

	12:28pm Franco Twinkie: I am good at covering chairs with all manner of rags and beach towels. Is that considered upholstery?

	12:31pm Webhamster Henry: @Vicki that wouldn't be a peacock chair, would it be?
	12:31pm Sem: bend a very old bamboo
	12:31pm chresti: I think bamboo will bend with steamy fog.
	12:31pm Bill W: Strangely, i have a childhood memory of hearing "Abergavenny" on an episode of... CAPTAIN KANGAROO. I wonder if I am deluded?
	👻 12:31pm doctorjazz: It's late for a correction, but it was bed frame (but I like beef frame better). Moved 1 box, time for a lunch break.
	12:32pm People Like Us: it's one with thin metal legs and circular bamboo and it was my grandparents but it got wet and some of the bamboo broke :(
	12:32pm Franco Twinkie: My friend Bruce is an expert at bending bamboo, but he lives in L.A.
	12:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i'm going to keep imagining a beef frame full of stripped screws

	12:34pm Irene: I don’t know if it’s just me but the signal got all wonky on my iPhone.
	12:34pm Charlie: Bill re Abergavenny -- I wouldn't be surprised. I have my own recollections, which I will share in a bit.
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: i also must reupholster a chair, some day. it's a sturdy wooden chair that's collapsible. i picked it from a junk pile. it's funny because it's folded width is around 12" thick. it barely takes any less space folded than it does open. ... it actually would make some good firewood.
	12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): this would be a fine karaoke song
	12:38pm Bryce: ahoy-hoy
	12:39pm People Like Us: HHerro Briyce

	1:01pm wendy del formaggio: Thank you Charlie! ❤️ She also used to sing along to KC & The Sunshine Band’s “Shake Your Booty” when it came on the radio. No wonder I turned out the way I did.
	1:02pm Charlie: Mema was freeform!
	1:03pm Charlie: this song is a little distorted at the end, but I thought it was worth it:)
	1:04pm Charlie: James, Waylon's agent will never be able to slip me enough cash under the table to get those two on my show!
	1:04pm wendy del formaggio: Hahaha, Mema was totally freeform! I think I might start a comic strip about her today.

	1:31pm Webhamster Henry: @βrian we just use musical saw instead. Less electricity!
	1:37pm βrian: When was the old BDN slot? Trying to remember.
	1:38pm Gaylord Fields: Broadside is news to me — a distaff McHale's Navy (and technically a spinoff)! How did the existence of this show escape me? I don't expect to learn when I come here, dammit!
	1:38pm Gaylord Fields: Sorry, that's a non-sequitur
