Mhuhahaha
  2:46am
Chuck:

You picked a great theme for this one, ducky. Tons of great train songs to choose from! You could do six shows whith this type of material to work with. Which version of "'97" are you doing? Loved the Tom Waits too! (Oh, and give Bosco and Jeff a pat on the head for me.)
  2:48am

We were going to do the Skillet Lickers.... but we changed it to Charlie Louvin
  2:50am
JON:

DESMOND!!!
  2:53am
Chuck:

Saaah-weet. Love the Louvin Bros. Though I personally think that Hank Snow did the best version. He was awesome in every respect of old time coutry music.
  2:54am
mikey c:

southern pacific, neil young, from the reactor album
  2:56am
Chuck:

Jeff, trains are part of American culture. It's that simple. Americans invented the machines after all!
  2:58am
Jon:

Those math questions are hard man..
  2:59am
mikey c:

  3:14am
Jon:

Aww/Nice!!
  3:14am
Chuck:

I think Meg and Jeff made it fairly clear that they already had a list planned out for this gig, Jon. Love this!!! When REM was still a great band.
  3:16am
Jon:

Yeahh, I don't pay attention much hehe
  3:18am
Chuck:

Nice! What has Matt been up to lately? Anyone know?
  3:21am
Meghan:

  3:24am
Jon:

Alright, I'm gonna pack in. Getting kinda late here..or early, however you wanna look at it. Have a good night all ad thanks guys for the great music.
  3:24am
Meghan:

Thanks Jon! Until Later!
  3:31am
Chuck:

Yes, thanks, Jon (even though I don't know you.) I'm here to harass and annoy for the duration though, Meg. Much of the usual VKR lineup didn't show today due to the weather conditions. I NEED my Friday fix of great tunes!
  3:32am
Meghan:

Yeah... i guess since the students are away... it's up to the local DJ's... and Harass away!
  3:39am
Chuck:

Who the FUCK are these people!!!
  3:41am
Chuck:

Oh, was gonna ask if you were doing Blue Bell Knoll for your "Bell" show?
  3:42am
Meghan:

Yeah i think so.... I love the Cocteau Twins....
  3:43am
Chuck:

Yup, me too.
  3:55am
Chuck:

Could you email me the link to your podcast again? I seem to have lost it. Also, what further possible themes are lurking in your demented mind? Could turn out to be quite interesting.
  3:56am
Meghan:

Yeah... it's in the archive page too... you can look up my name. But I will totally email out a link to you
  4:15am
Chuck:

Well, that only answers the first question not the second. OK, whatever. I am recording this show, just so you know. And I'm sort of fading. Don't know if I'll be conscious for the finish. Which is why I was recording it.
  4:18am
Meghan:

ahhh the rockin' set isn't keeping you awake? HA! I will email you some of the upcoming ones I am playing with... I got a bunch. A book full actually
  4:23am
Chuck:

OK, that's it! You just inadvertly challenged me to a duel! You will NEVER get the better of me "WHITEY"! Now I have to stay awake to hear the "'97"!
  4:25am
Meghan:

Then you are staying until the end! Wow... i didn't know I had that power of challenging without a challenge!
  4:35am
Chuck:

A simple sarcastic comment is sometimes enough. (Even if you didn't really mean it that way.) A "HA!" is more powerful than you think.
  4:46am
Chuck:

Hank Williams! Totally cool!!!
  4:47am
Meghan:

Yeah... to match the last show you did.... some oldies but GOOD country!
  4:49am
Chuck:

PATSY Too! You guys are awesome!
  4:52am
Chuck:

I'm so glad that I am recording this! I love G;adys also.
  5:04am
andy in berlin:

you could probably do a whole show just on Orange Blossom special. I once saw Roy Acuff on tv and they asked him to do OBS and he said he couldn't because he got his teeth fixed and couldn't make the sound of the whistle anymore
  5:07am
Dickdong:

Are you talking over Honkey Tonk Train Blues by Meade Lux Lewis?
It's ok 'cos I've got it on 78 and can listen anytime.
  5:07am
Ken:

Hi Meghan! Sounding good! How about some Route 80 Rest Stop songs?
  5:10am
Meghan:

Very interesting about Roy Acuff... poor guy! And yes Dickdong... that was. Ken- I don't know Route 80 Rest Stop songs... very intrigued now
  5:44am
Colm:

  5:45am
Meghan:
