	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Krys O.: Aw, Big Daddy reminds me of Frank Balesteri. He used to play them on his show.
	9:21am Lucky: Joe - Shouldn't you be on a plane or something?
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: @Lucky: Ha ha. Sorry, you have to wait until next week to get rid of me. :)
	♥ 9:23am Roberto: I'm sensing a kinky set theme developing here...
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am listener Rey: Wow, that was a harrowing tale from Iceberg Slim. I'm detecting a "screaming goat alarm" trend in your selections this morning
	9:25am Cheri Pi: Good morning :)
	♥ 9:26am Jeezy: Mornin' y'all...
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am The Oscar: I feel dirty clickystarring every song in this set, but they're all so good!
	♥ 9:26am Colleen: Fantastic!!!
	9:26am e: Whoa, just when I thought it was safe! Where you goin', Joe?
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: @e: Just a wee vacay!
	♥ 9:27am Lixiviated Life: Joe... seriously dude.
	♥ 9:28am Joe McG: @Lixiviated: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 9:30am βrian: Fair winds and cerulean skies over the isthmus today. Good morning.
	♥ 9:30am thriftstoreleather: waiting for my 79.5 to come in the mail....any day now!!
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: @tsl: I'm playing the hit, but there are a lot of great songs on it!
	♥ 9:33am thriftstoreleather: awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am steveo: Good morning! Luv the fuzz!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am steveo: I'm glad I'm drinking coffee and listening to Coffey, and not the other way around.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am melinda: Naughty set is fun
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am The Oscar: Ooooh I've been eyeing this comp
	9:47am queems: i just got that numero group technicolor paradise on vinyl and it is amazing
	♥ 9:49am βrian: Oh, we're going to lose our hearts soon!
	9:52am Marc Francis: Choooooooooon!
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @queems: Jealous! We don't have it at FMU yet.
	9:55am queems: @joe it was a little pricey but it is beautifully packaged
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am The Oscar: @queems @Joe It's so good! When my girlfriend and I went on vacation last month I insisted on playing the entire thing in the car, even though we were in Maine which is literally fundamentally less tropical than where we usually are. Exotica is my go-to vacation music.
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: @queems/Oscar: Can't wait to look and listen! Hope we get it soon.
	♥ 9:58am destructo: Waaaaaaaat I have never heard this cover of "deep deep down"
	9:59am queems: @the oscar i was also listening in the car! because apparently it is on spotify? idk the person i was driving with was like look, they have that thing you just bought! anyway yes, it was lovely night time driving music
	9:59am MG: Oh, damn. This song takes me to a happy place. Specifically a mixed tape a dearly departed friend made for me in 2000. Thanks for this.
	♥ 10:00am northguineahills: Better Monday then usual, slept a bit, illness waning, work seems to be chill.... oh, and there's Joe!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Sure, MG! The rest of the CD is good, too. @ngh: Glad you feel better!
	10:10am Brendan: Good morning Joe and Surface folk. Always nice to be here , and especially when you tune in to a flute track.
	10:10am Mayuko: Good morning!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am steveo: I can still listen to this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am karlward: More OAR
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Good morning, Mayuko! :)
	10:23am judy from croton: Hitting all the sensitive spots today, Joe
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Judy!
	10:31am frenchee: ooh, <reverential voice> GENE CLARK
	♥ 10:33am frozen_peas: Texas!! I already know story corner is gonna be awesome.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Thank you for the Creation! This is always great to hear.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am Hughie Considine: Morning, Joe! Smithers-Jones has to be one of Bruce Foxton's finest moments.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am tadpoles: Wow to have Painter Man on a single Joe....excellent...great to hear thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: The Skip Spence album title is a play on the Love song, I guess.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Krys: Glad you enjoyed that one! It sounded great in the studio, esp. that guitar break in the middle.
	♥ 10:39am jmd: @Hughie C-totally agree.
	♥ 10:39am Brian C.: JOe, you didn't get fired did you? I recall a Monday morning timeslot show many years ago when Hova played this (he'd been fired from his day job)
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Brian C: Not yet, thank God! That record gives me chills. What a memory you have, and what an appropriate record for Hova to play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Hughie Considine: Gotta say I'm a little relieved the Godfathers chose to cover "Renee" as an instrumental. Somehow I don't think Peter Coyne would be the ideal vocalist for such a gentle choone...
	♥ 10:44am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha! It might be fun to hear him bellow "Don't walk away, Renee--or else!"
	10:44am queems: YESSSS
	♥ 10:44am Mark Hurst: This cover is giving some real competition to the original.
	10:44am queems: this is amazing
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Playing the Harrison Brothers home from Pittsburgh!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: @Joe McG That is EXACTLY how he would do it.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Greg: Is the town still standing?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe, if you have time for sightseeing a visit to Sacré-Cœur or Montparnasse Tower gives great views. Especially as the centre of Paris is fairly low level.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Hughie Considine: One could do a righteous set focusing on soul singers named Betty.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! I definitely want to visit Sacre-Coeur. By the way, if anyone has Paris recommendations for record shops or just sites I shouldn't miss, feel free to chime in.
	♥ 10:50am βrian: Keep an eye out for Amélie.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Brian: I hope to see several!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am pantz: With a name like Dick Feller, it's good he can look on the bright side of things.
	10:55am queems: cowy things
	10:55am Vincent Nifigance: This Dick Feller...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: Joe, not been here but the selections look kind of WFMU. www.soufflecontinu.com...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, definitely trying that place out!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am pantz: Anyone remember the PBS show Mulligan Stew, from the early 70's?
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am steveo: great bunch of 45s!
	11:00am Vincent Nifigance: @BrianInUK Sainkho Namchylak - Nick Sudnick 'Not Quite Songs'. I would buy it on that title alone.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Listener fred should have some record store suggestions in the general Paris region. Might be able to recommend some shows as well.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: Hapshash and the Coloured Coat featuring the Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids. If memory serves.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Krys O.: Mogwai! Nice. Loved their soundtrack to Les Revenants.
	11:08am Marc Francis: Vacation! Us too!
	♥ 11:09am northguineahills: Ken doesn't want respect!
	♥ 11:09am Roberto: I think I remember that Ken guy. He played a lot of butt-related content.
	11:10am Listener Alexandra: Are you going anywhere fun, Joe? Be safe on your journey....
	♥ 11:10am Joe McG: @ngh: Ha ha ha @Alex: Off to Paree!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am The Oscar: Whoa-- never heard this version before! I had a cat named Smokey Joe as a kid, so this song will always hold a place in my heart.
	♥ 11:11am frozen_peas: what date did you do the Ireland songs?
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Matt Fiveash: It really sounds like Buddy says "a chicken walked in through the door" rather than "a chick came walking through the door"...
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @frozen: It was at the end of August, not sure which one.
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha! Maybe he did. Waylon in hs book says he was a real jokester.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Matt Fiveash: Also you might already know this Joe, but there's a cool Buddy-and-guitar version on the Apartment Tapes.
	♥ 11:14am northguineahills: Spent many times in Waycross GA going to Cumberland Island State Park, GA, a fave haunt of mine.... oh, and Waylon!
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am The Oscar: @Matt For the longest time (like until the past five years or so) I thought the line in "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" was "We got chickenS in the barn." In fairness, if I was at a party and discovered chickens in the barn, I would damn well let everyone know.
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am pantz: Did you ever get a chance to watch that Waylon doc on cowboys, Joe?
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Matt Fiveash: And then of course there's "Dancin' with the chicken slacks" in Twistin' the Night Away.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @pantz: No, but I have it bookmarked. I definitely will see it! @Matt: Yes, that's the one I meant to play but I got the Fireballs one.
	11:20am Listener Alexandra: Joe, I'm sure you're besieged by suggestions, but the drinking chocolate “l’Africain” at Angelina on Rue de Rivoli is sort of a Paris institution ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am pantz: He once shot a man for snorin' too loud, I hear.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @Alex: Thanks for the recommendation, Alex!
	11:24am melinda: I like Robert Earl Keen, saw him once in the early days.
	11:25am Listener Alexandra: Okay one more: Thanx God I'm a VIP (remarkably good thrift store), 12 Rue de Lancry, 75010 Paris, France ;-)
	♥ 11:26am crateslinger: Just got here and didn't read the whole thread, so maybe this has been discussed, but I see mention of Hova and it reminds me that I discovered the saturday morning kid's show this weekend. Been a long time since Greasy Kid's Stuff. My kid's are grown but still happy about this latest. Bob Brainum better still be on somewhere or coming back - it was his slot. 40 years and still going strong, I hope.
	11:26am Dennis Diken: jolly good show Joe!
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Alex: Thanks! @Dennis: Thank you, good sir! @melinda: I saw him around the time of this album and he was fine indeed.
	11:28am melinda: @crateslinger agree, big fan of both Bob and A & R's new show.
	11:29am melinda: I have no Paris suggestions but if it were me I'd be going for that drinking chocolate.
	11:30am Brendan: Wow that Robert Earl Keen really escalated there! That thing would be Story Corner worthy even if it were an instrumental.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brendan: The music sure tells the story!
	11:31am Jay/London: me and my friend Celine just love ur show this afternoon Joe :)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Thanks, Jay! My best to you and Celine!
	11:35am Itzall Ablurr: and, speaking of chicken... whatever happened to "Roasters"?!? Great show today, Joe, as always.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Kenny is 80 now! Maybe he got tired of looking after those chickens....
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Krys O.: It's been 37 years since I was in Paris and I have no suggestions for you, Joe, except to visit Jardins de Tuileries and Versailles, if you have the chance. Those were my favorite spots when I was studying there on a six-week scholarship.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Ken From Hyde Park: After visiting Jim Morrison at Père Lachaise, I found it fun to duck into random pâtisserie shops and buy a tasty treat. And to buy some cherries and munch on them while walking along the boulevards.
	11:37am frenchee: I was humming "Animal Fair" all week after Amanda and R's show last week. I love that a new generation will listen to a new kids' show on WFMU
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am The Oscar: Lest we forget, Kenny's not the only country music chicken magnate: www.bakersfieldbiscuits.com...
	♥ 11:38am Rich in Washington: I thought that was Slim again for some reason. I was about to yell WATCH OUT, JOE!
	11:38am melinda: I just bought the Kristofferson CD and was listening to this all day Saturday!
	♥ 11:38am Sem: @Itzall Ablurr: I refer you to the 'FMU expert on Roasters: Marty McSorley.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Krys O.: Oh, and Pere Lachaise cemetary is fun. Really, it is. I took the tour three times.
	11:40am emily: so great to hear this Kris Kristofferson. thanks
	♥ 11:40am Sem: Joe, @fred in Paris will no doubt have useful record stores suggestions for you.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am The Oscar: Man, I always forget how good this album is.
	♥ 11:40am Rich in Washington: The nineties were all about roasting chickens. Forget your gulf wars and beanie babies.
	♥ 11:40am Devin B.: Joe: If you want to see some art, L'orangerie and the Pompidou Center are both excellent.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: The last time I saw Kenny Rogers on TV was the Reno 911 episode where he got shot. @Krys O. - Yeah, there was some monument for Homer and someone scrawled "Simpson" underneath.
	11:41am Itzall Ablurr: Haha, thanks Sem. I'm sure he has an opinion about it!
	11:42am frenchee: So many others besides Jim. Oscar Wilde....Piaf...some guy named Chopin...Bizet
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Krys and Ken and Devin and frenchee (aptly named!): Thanks for the suggestions! @melinda: Odd coincidence!
	♥ 11:43am Rich in Washington: just coincidentally read about the origin of this song.
	11:43am Itzall Ablurr: Good lord, what a perfect pairing- Kristofferson penned, Joplin delivered. Sweet demo and perfect still!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Lorrie Morgan, daughter of George Morgan, and her then-husband, Sammy Kershaw had a failed restaurant chain in Nashville called Hot Chickens.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Love this demo version.
	11:43am GeorgeSimian: I think Janis butchers this song. I know I’m in a minority. This version is better then the usual one. But still not Kris.
	♥ 11:44am museguy: Joe McG, A perfect set of music, thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Enjoy Paris.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: The streets of Paris have plenty of innovative outdoor urinals now, so no need to void the bladder alongside stairways or wherever.
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: Many thanks, Brian! @Ken: I've heard about these things and will no doubt try one out!
	11:45am Sean B.: Almost forgot about how great Kris Kristofferson is. How could I really.
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Krys O.: Yes, the streets have pissoirs AND they wash the sidewalks, at least when I was there.
	♥ 11:46am Rich in Washington: I always loved Eugene Chadbourne/Shockabilly's take on this song.
	11:47am yp: can girls use the pissoirs
	♥ 11:47am northguineahills: The redheaded stranger is still killing it (even at his age). He's been stumping for Beto O'Rourke.
	11:47am Itzall Ablurr: So much public whizzing in the City of Lights. The wine, maybe?
	♥ 11:47am βrian: Ted Cruz is disappointed you're playing Willie.
	11:47am melinda: @George after listening to the original several times I kinda agree
	11:47am frenchee: Kris is 82! And I was just talking about the Red-headed Stranger and searching for my record....gone
	♥ 11:48am Michael 98145: hey, thanks, Joe McG
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: Willie was a radio disc jockey in my hometown in the late 50s.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am pantz: Have a good vacation, Joe. Here's looking at you, kid.
	♥ 11:50am Sem: Much obliged for the stories this morning, J. McG. Bon voyage!
	11:50am Sean B.: Tanx Joe!. :-)
	11:51am melinda: I think it was Kris K who was experiencing what they thought was dementia but it turned out to be Lyme.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Texas story songs to have mostly sad endings. But maybe most stories do!
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Yes! Sneakily IS a word!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Krys O.: Thanks for another enjoyable show, Joe. Have a great vacation! A bientot!
	11:53am prudy: such a gorgeous sad song from Townes
	♥ 11:53am thriftstoreleather: what a great set, Joe!
	11:53am melinda: What a good song. Nanci Griffith did a nice cover of this with Arlo Guthrie
	11:53am Dean: This TVZ album, the 2LP affair on Tomato, is one of the best sounding records of all time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Merci, Joe!
	♥ 11:54am Colleen: This has been great, Thank you for Willie!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Mick: Merci Joe, et bon voyage!!
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Merci, mes amis! See you in two. Station Manager Ken will be here next week and it will be a lot of fun. Probably no sad songs from Texas!
	11:56am melinda: Great story corner
	11:56am emily: Really great set, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am βrian: Get beyond the big city if you can, Joe.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am Krys O.: Ernest! The master of wobbly sangin'.
	🎸 ♥ 11:57am steveo: Thanks, Joe! I hope the fill-in DJ's not too nervous. Have a great trip!
	11:58am Joe B: awesome show as always!
	11:59am melinda: Have a nice vacation!

	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Krys O.: Aw, Big Daddy reminds me of Frank Balesteri. He used to play them on his show.
	9:21am Lucky: Joe - Shouldn't you be on a plane or something?
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: @Lucky: Ha ha. Sorry, you have to wait until next week to get rid of me. :)
	♥ 9:23am Roberto: I'm sensing a kinky set theme developing here...
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am listener Rey: Wow, that was a harrowing tale from Iceberg Slim. I'm detecting a "screaming goat alarm" trend in your selections this morning
	9:25am Cheri Pi: Good morning :)
	♥ 9:26am Jeezy: Mornin' y'all...
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am The Oscar: I feel dirty clickystarring every song in this set, but they're all so good!

	🎸 ♥ 9:37am melinda: Naughty set is fun
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am The Oscar: Ooooh I've been eyeing this comp
	9:47am queems: i just got that numero group technicolor paradise on vinyl and it is amazing
	♥ 9:49am βrian: Oh, we're going to lose our hearts soon!
	9:52am Marc Francis: Choooooooooon!
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: @queems: Jealous! We don't have it at FMU yet.
	9:55am queems: @joe it was a little pricey but it is beautifully packaged
	🎸 ♥ 9:56am The Oscar: @queems @Joe It's so good! When my girlfriend and I went on vacation last month I insisted on playing the entire thing in the car, even though we were in Maine which is literally fundamentally less tropical than where we usually are. Exotica is my go-to vacation music.
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: @queems/Oscar: Can't wait to look and listen! Hope we get it soon.
	♥ 9:58am destructo: Waaaaaaaat I have never heard this cover of "deep deep down"
	9:59am queems: @the oscar i was also listening in the car! because apparently it is on spotify? idk the person i was driving with was like look, they have that thing you just bought! anyway yes, it was lovely night time driving music
	9:59am MG: Oh, damn. This song takes me to a happy place. Specifically a mixed tape a dearly departed friend made for me in 2000. Thanks for this.
	♥ 10:00am northguineahills: Better Monday then usual, slept a bit, illness waning, work seems to be chill.... oh, and there's Joe!
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: Sure, MG! The rest of the CD is good, too. @ngh: Glad you feel better!
	10:10am Brendan: Good morning Joe and Surface folk. Always nice to be here , and especially when you tune in to a flute track.
	10:10am Mayuko: Good morning!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am steveo: I can still listen to this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am karlward: More OAR
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: Good morning, Mayuko! :)
	10:23am judy from croton: Hitting all the sensitive spots today, Joe
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: Nice to see you, Judy!
	10:31am frenchee: ooh, <reverential voice> GENE CLARK
	♥ 10:33am frozen_peas: Texas!! I already know story corner is gonna be awesome.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Thank you for the Creation! This is always great to hear.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am Hughie Considine: Morning, Joe! Smithers-Jones has to be one of Bruce Foxton's finest moments.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am tadpoles: Wow to have Painter Man on a single Joe....excellent...great to hear thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am Brian in UK: The Skip Spence album title is a play on the Love song, I guess.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @Krys: Glad you enjoyed that one! It sounded great in the studio, esp. that guitar break in the middle.
	♥ 10:39am jmd: @Hughie C-totally agree.
	♥ 10:39am Brian C.: JOe, you didn't get fired did you? I recall a Monday morning timeslot show many years ago when Hova played this (he'd been fired from his day job)
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Brian C: Not yet, thank God! That record gives me chills. What a memory you have, and what an appropriate record for Hova to play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Hughie Considine: Gotta say I'm a little relieved the Godfathers chose to cover "Renee" as an instrumental. Somehow I don't think Peter Coyne would be the ideal vocalist for such a gentle choone...
	♥ 10:44am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha! It might be fun to hear him bellow "Don't walk away, Renee--or else!"
	10:44am queems: YESSSS
	♥ 10:44am Mark Hurst: This cover is giving some real competition to the original.
	10:44am queems: this is amazing
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: Playing the Harrison Brothers home from Pittsburgh!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Hughie Considine: @Joe McG That is EXACTLY how he would do it.
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Greg: Is the town still standing?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe, if you have time for sightseeing a visit to Sacré-Cœur or Montparnasse Tower gives great views. Especially as the centre of Paris is fairly low level.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am Hughie Considine: One could do a righteous set focusing on soul singers named Betty.
	♥ 10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian! I definitely want to visit Sacre-Coeur. By the way, if anyone has Paris recommendations for record shops or just sites I shouldn't miss, feel free to chime in.
	♥ 10:50am βrian: Keep an eye out for Amélie.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Brian: I hope to see several!
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am pantz: With a name like Dick Feller, it's good he can look on the bright side of things.
	10:55am queems: cowy things
	10:55am Vincent Nifigance: This Dick Feller...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Brian in UK: Joe, not been here but the selections look kind of WFMU. www.soufflecontinu.com...
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, definitely trying that place out!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am pantz: Anyone remember the PBS show Mulligan Stew, from the early 70's?
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am steveo: great bunch of 45s!
	11:00am Vincent Nifigance: @BrianInUK Sainkho Namchylak - Nick Sudnick 'Not Quite Songs'. I would buy it on that title alone.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Listener fred should have some record store suggestions in the general Paris region. Might be able to recommend some shows as well.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: Hapshash and the Coloured Coat featuring the Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids. If memory serves.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Krys O.: Mogwai! Nice. Loved their soundtrack to Les Revenants.
	11:08am Marc Francis: Vacation! Us too!
	♥ 11:09am northguineahills: Ken doesn't want respect!
	♥ 11:09am Roberto: I think I remember that Ken guy. He played a lot of butt-related content.
	11:10am Listener Alexandra: Are you going anywhere fun, Joe? Be safe on your journey....
	♥ 11:10am Joe McG: @ngh: Ha ha ha @Alex: Off to Paree!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11am The Oscar: Whoa-- never heard this version before! I had a cat named Smokey Joe as a kid, so this song will always hold a place in my heart.
	♥ 11:11am frozen_peas: what date did you do the Ireland songs?
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Matt Fiveash: It really sounds like Buddy says "a chicken walked in through the door" rather than "a chick came walking through the door"...
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @frozen: It was at the end of August, not sure which one.
	♥ 11:13am Joe McG: @Matt: Ha! Maybe he did. Waylon in hs book says he was a real jokester.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Matt Fiveash: Also you might already know this Joe, but there's a cool Buddy-and-guitar version on the Apartment Tapes.
	♥ 11:14am northguineahills: Spent many times in Waycross GA going to Cumberland Island State Park, GA, a fave haunt of mine.... oh, and Waylon!
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am The Oscar: @Matt For the longest time (like until the past five years or so) I thought the line in "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" was "We got chickenS in the barn." In fairness, if I was at a party and discovered chickens in the barn, I would damn well let everyone know.
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am pantz: Did you ever get a chance to watch that Waylon doc on cowboys, Joe?
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Matt Fiveash: And then of course there's "Dancin' with the chicken slacks" in Twistin' the Night Away.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @pantz: No, but I have it bookmarked. I definitely will see it! @Matt: Yes, that's the one I meant to play but I got the Fireballs one.
	11:20am Listener Alexandra: Joe, I'm sure you're besieged by suggestions, but the drinking chocolate “l’Africain” at Angelina on Rue de Rivoli is sort of a Paris institution ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am pantz: He once shot a man for snorin' too loud, I hear.
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: @Alex: Thanks for the recommendation, Alex!
	11:24am melinda: I like Robert Earl Keen, saw him once in the early days.
	11:25am Listener Alexandra: Okay one more: Thanx God I'm a VIP (remarkably good thrift store), 12 Rue de Lancry, 75010 Paris, France ;-)
	♥ 11:26am crateslinger: Just got here and didn't read the whole thread, so maybe this has been discussed, but I see mention of Hova and it reminds me that I discovered the saturday morning kid's show this weekend. Been a long time since Greasy Kid's Stuff. My kid's are grown but still happy about this latest. Bob Brainum better still be on somewhere or coming back - it was his slot. 40 years and still going strong, I hope.
	11:26am Dennis Diken: jolly good show Joe!
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Alex: Thanks! @Dennis: Thank you, good sir! @melinda: I saw him around the time of this album and he was fine indeed.
	11:28am melinda: @crateslinger agree, big fan of both Bob and A & R's new show.
	11:29am melinda: I have no Paris suggestions but if it were me I'd be going for that drinking chocolate.
	11:30am Brendan: Wow that Robert Earl Keen really escalated there! That thing would be Story Corner worthy even if it were an instrumental.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brendan: The music sure tells the story!
	11:31am Jay/London: me and my friend Celine just love ur show this afternoon Joe :)
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Thanks, Jay! My best to you and Celine!
	11:35am Itzall Ablurr: and, speaking of chicken... whatever happened to "Roasters"?!? Great show today, Joe, as always.
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Kenny is 80 now! Maybe he got tired of looking after those chickens....
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Krys O.: It's been 37 years since I was in Paris and I have no suggestions for you, Joe, except to visit Jardins de Tuileries and Versailles, if you have the chance. Those were my favorite spots when I was studying there on a six-week scholarship.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Ken From Hyde Park: After visiting Jim Morrison at Père Lachaise, I found it fun to duck into random pâtisserie shops and buy a tasty treat. And to buy some cherries and munch on them while walking along the boulevards.
	11:37am frenchee: I was humming "Animal Fair" all week after Amanda and R's show last week. I love that a new generation will listen to a new kids' show on WFMU
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am The Oscar: Lest we forget, Kenny's not the only country music chicken magnate: www.bakersfieldbiscuits.com...
	♥ 11:38am Rich in Washington: I thought that was Slim again for some reason. I was about to yell WATCH OUT, JOE!
	11:38am melinda: I just bought the Kristofferson CD and was listening to this all day Saturday!
	♥ 11:38am Sem: @Itzall Ablurr: I refer you to the 'FMU expert on Roasters: Marty McSorley.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Krys O.: Oh, and Pere Lachaise cemetary is fun. Really, it is. I took the tour three times.
	11:40am emily: so great to hear this Kris Kristofferson. thanks
	♥ 11:40am Sem: Joe, @fred in Paris will no doubt have useful record stores suggestions for you.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am The Oscar: Man, I always forget how good this album is.
	♥ 11:40am Rich in Washington: The nineties were all about roasting chickens. Forget your gulf wars and beanie babies.
	♥ 11:40am Devin B.: Joe: If you want to see some art, L'orangerie and the Pompidou Center are both excellent.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: The last time I saw Kenny Rogers on TV was the Reno 911 episode where he got shot. @Krys O. - Yeah, there was some monument for Homer and someone scrawled "Simpson" underneath.
	11:41am Itzall Ablurr: Haha, thanks Sem. I'm sure he has an opinion about it!
	11:42am frenchee: So many others besides Jim. Oscar Wilde....Piaf...some guy named Chopin...Bizet
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Krys and Ken and Devin and frenchee (aptly named!): Thanks for the suggestions! @melinda: Odd coincidence!
	♥ 11:43am Rich in Washington: just coincidentally read about the origin of this song.
	11:43am Itzall Ablurr: Good lord, what a perfect pairing- Kristofferson penned, Joplin delivered. Sweet demo and perfect still!
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Lorrie Morgan, daughter of George Morgan, and her then-husband, Sammy Kershaw had a failed restaurant chain in Nashville called Hot Chickens.
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Krys O.: Love this demo version.
	11:43am GeorgeSimian: I think Janis butchers this song. I know I’m in a minority. This version is better then the usual one. But still not Kris.
	♥ 11:44am museguy: Joe McG, A perfect set of music, thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 11:44am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. Enjoy Paris.
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: The streets of Paris have plenty of innovative outdoor urinals now, so no need to void the bladder alongside stairways or wherever.
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: Many thanks, Brian! @Ken: I've heard about these things and will no doubt try one out!
	11:45am Sean B.: Almost forgot about how great Kris Kristofferson is. How could I really.
	🎸 ♥ 11:46am Krys O.: Yes, the streets have pissoirs AND they wash the sidewalks, at least when I was there.
	♥ 11:46am Rich in Washington: I always loved Eugene Chadbourne/Shockabilly's take on this song.
	11:47am yp: can girls use the pissoirs
	♥ 11:47am northguineahills: The redheaded stranger is still killing it (even at his age). He's been stumping for Beto O'Rourke.
	11:47am Itzall Ablurr: So much public whizzing in the City of Lights. The wine, maybe?
	♥ 11:47am βrian: Ted Cruz is disappointed you're playing Willie.
	11:47am melinda: @George after listening to the original several times I kinda agree
	11:47am frenchee: Kris is 82! And I was just talking about the Red-headed Stranger and searching for my record....gone
	♥ 11:48am Michael 98145: hey, thanks, Joe McG
	♥ 11:48am Rich in Washington: Willie was a radio disc jockey in my hometown in the late 50s.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am pantz: Have a good vacation, Joe. Here's looking at you, kid.
	♥ 11:50am Sem: Much obliged for the stories this morning, J. McG. Bon voyage!
	11:50am Sean B.: Tanx Joe!. :-)
	11:51am melinda: I think it was Kris K who was experiencing what they thought was dementia but it turned out to be Lyme.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: Texas story songs to have mostly sad endings. But maybe most stories do!
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Yes! Sneakily IS a word!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Krys O.: Thanks for another enjoyable show, Joe. Have a great vacation! A bientot!
	11:53am prudy: such a gorgeous sad song from Townes
	♥ 11:53am thriftstoreleather: what a great set, Joe!
	11:53am melinda: What a good song. Nanci Griffith did a nice cover of this with Arlo Guthrie
	11:53am Dean: This TVZ album, the 2LP affair on Tomato, is one of the best sounding records of all time.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am 12539: Merci, Joe!
	♥ 11:54am Colleen: This has been great, Thank you for Willie!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Mick: Merci Joe, et bon voyage!!
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Merci, mes amis! See you in two. Station Manager Ken will be here next week and it will be a lot of fun. Probably no sad songs from Texas!
	11:56am melinda: Great story corner
	11:56am emily: Really great set, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am βrian: Get beyond the big city if you can, Joe.
