	♥ 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.

	♥ 12:31pm 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 :(

	♥ 12:33pm 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!

	12:43pm 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.

	♥ 12:53pm 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.

	1:08pm 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?

	♥ 1:28pm 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.

	♥ 12:23pm chresti: Granny, I like your fog.

	♥ 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.
