	11:12am mike east: Strawberry reigns supreme with most in this house, but I prefer blueberry if given the choice. Pretty much always Mamans brand...reuse the jars for our juice glasses
	11:12am johnk77: @dean thanks for link must leave house soon appointment for 1st shot moderna covid vaccine:>

	11:15am Kpx: As oppose to a pop undaaahhhhh !
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: TDK60, we're merging bubbles with our good friends who just left Brooklyn for good for Hudson, NY. Drove up yesterday. Got pulled over for the first time in 22 years when I brushed the center line when a bald eagle flew about 15' over the road. Hi, Ruth!
	11:16am MFlynn: Good morning Jack!
	11:16am phat: Somebody's been listening to The Turtles.
	11:16am Dean: http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/toahaggis.htm
	11:16am Ruth Booth: Hello Handy!
	♥ 11:17am McGroovey: At first I thought Ruby was a song from the 10CC box that Bob Brainen has been playing recently.
	♥ 11:17am Hoboken Jack: Of current songs titled "Ruby," the Jayhawks' one is also quite good.
	♥ 11:18am TDK60: Oh, up in Hudson. Hope the highway patrol was mathked!
	11:18am CalZone!: Great mix this morning, MS!
	11:18am MarkG: I go for Apricot; the rest of the family are raspberry fans. (Bon Maman)

	♥ 11:19am Listener Baby: Baby Ruth.. You rule!
	♥ 11:20am PaulRobeson1920: The whole stinkin world has an appetite for love! Baby!
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: They were, actually, which I appreciated. The Taconic was THICK with cops -- I have never seen the like. The sink in our friends' house is "Vitreous China" from the T.P. Co. in Trenton, NJ. Anyone ever hear of? The maker's stamp is pretty cool.
	11:21am Doug in JC: Sounds like Trenton Potteries Company ware to me
	11:21am Listener Schned: After a childhood full of Welch's Concord Grape Jelly (que viva Upstate NY), we've evolved- Bonne Maman Apricot, Peach, Orange Marmalade-
	11:21am Doug in JC: Is it a pentagram Handy?
	11:22am clarke: @Frank Mr. Child says roll with the punches and remain as a child
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Nice, Doug! Lemme check!
	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: Yes, circle with a star, name inside the circle, numeral 4 inside the star.
	11:24am paul: Smuckers
	♥ 11:24am Frank In Queens: @clarke, Mr. Child is the only memorable track on that album so far.
	♥ 11:24am happymaan: Trader Joes has a great cherry preserve. Our godfather keeps sending us pepper jellies.
	11:24am clarke: didn't welch's have the Flintstone glasses??
	11:24am Doug in JC: There were a lot of pottery companies in Trenton. www.trentonhistory.org...
	♥ 11:25am the Master: Bonne Maman Raspberry for Four Fruit
	11:25am phat: Well, Hawkshaw Hawkins was briefly married to Jean Shepherd. Huh.
	♥ 11:25am Roger: Chili-Crisp in the new jelly!
	♥ 11:25am happymaan: I just saw that jar of peanut butter and jelly in the jar mixed, I haven't thought about that since I was a kid.
	11:25am phat: Strawberry preserves
	♥ 11:25am steveo: we get the bonne maman also; i have a friend who lived in france some time ago and says that bonne maman is basically the welch's of france...
	11:25am Dean: Trader Joe's also has a great pepper jelly. If you're a carnivore, use it to glaze pork loin or chicken.
	♥ 11:25am happymaan: @Roger is right!
	11:25am clarke: darondo....ya$$~~
	11:25am paul: The. Ladies Man
	♥ 11:26am PaulRobeson1920: I’m just a charming fella! Hahahahaha whatt cannnnn I do?
	11:26am Dennis Diken: @dean - after I wrote that piece on Buddy, who played on tons of incredible records (cut in NYC), it came to my attention that it was more likely Gary Chester (according to various credible sources) on “Sugar, Sugar.” Unfortunately, the NYC AFM contracts are scarce, at best, unlike the ones from LA. And memories of some players, understandably, get fuzzy with age. Having said that, it’s always possible that Buddy might have played percussion or an overdub here. Interestingly, Hal Blaine played live percussion on some Beach Boys tracks that Dennis drummed on. “Hawaii” and “Warmth Of The Sun” come to mind. I think “I Get Around” is another and maybe “Dance, Dance Dance”?
	♥ 11:26am happymaan: I'm such a hipster we have 3 types of chili crisp in our house.
	♥ 11:28am happymaan: and 7 types of flour
	11:28am gf2002: Best popovers in the world: Jordan Pond House at Acadia National Park. Strawberry jam. Absolutely the best, in my opinion. Great scenery too...
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Doug, I landed once on David Island, off of the Bronx/New Rochelle. Some pretty great pottery shards and beach glass there. It had had an army fort (Slocum) on it. Good bricks, too.
	11:29am clarke: JordON Pond!!!
	11:29am phat: I want to know who's playing drums on this Darondo track. Holy hell.
	11:29am Listener Bop Monroe: last nite i broke the seal of a Jim Beam decanter that looked like Elvis i soaked the label of a Flintstones Jelly Bean Jar. (plenty of jam jars baby...)
	11:29am Doug in JC: @Handy interesting... I wonder if part of the island is fill? Northern queens and east bronx are great for brick hunting. Have I mentioned our brick collection?
	11:30am clarke: george
	♥ 11:30am Frank In Queens: Sports!
	11:30am Dennis Diken: Mikey, have you ever interviewed Peter Noone? He has pretty good recall re: personnel on Hermits tracks. Derek “Lek” Leckenby was a pretty good guitarist, that may have been him on the HH track you played. Kinda sounded like the band on that one?
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: You have NOT! I should show you some of the cool ones we have fished out of the East River and Newtown Creek!
	11:31am gf2002: @Dennis Diken - It's Hal playing the timbales on "I Get Around" for one specific part he added on the Dennis drum tracks
	11:31am Todd-o-phonic Todd: NOW THIS IS A #1 HIT!!!
	11:32am gf2002: Definitely Jordan Pond lol
	♥ 11:32am Hoboken Jack: It was joyous when this was performed with Yo La Tengo on the Hanukkah livestream.
	11:32am Doug in JC: We have something like 170 bricks with different maker's stamps on them? It got out of hand at some point
	11:32am egould310: The social and political subtext to these lyrics is emotionally powerful.
	♥ 11:32am Hoboken Jack: Happy day off TOPT!!
	♥ 11:32am suzyhotrod: HAH! Just stopping by to say that. Hi everyone. just running out the door, but had to say, HA!
	♥ 11:33am happymaan: Suzy! My wife loves your show!
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: Admirable, Doug! We had a nice little collection at the boatyard.
	♥ 11:33am spodiodi: happy saturday, Michael Shelley and everyone
	11:34am mike east: Ha! I’m making two vegan pizzas as I listen!
	♥ 11:34am Hoboken Jack: Hey there Suzy and Spodi!!
	♥ 11:34am spodiodi: hey Jack!
	♥ 11:34am myron feld: Fleshtones are so #1.
	♥ 11:35am Andrew in Toronto: You said it Myron.
	11:35am Sean: I never use low-moisture cheese on my pizza's and always use the "fresh-style" which is high moisture. The other stuff just burns by the time the dough is nice and crisp.
	11:35am MuWfInMass: low moisture cheese
	♥ 11:36am suzyhotrod: @happymaan, your wife has good taste, Don't you LOOOVE it too?!?! Hey Hoboken Jack. Ok radio pals, Im off. Keep enjoying those #1 hits, and Michael, happy pizza adventures. I always arrive when pizza talk is happening. Its like my bat signal. OK BYE!!
	11:36am clarke: could there be any more cowbell?
	♥ 11:36am Barkevious Shabazz: Marty Thau comp.
	11:37am Ross T.: Oh man I remember this coming out of 8 transistors.
	11:37am phat: Still looking for credits for that Darondo. No luck...
	♥ 11:38am Hackensack Slim: Hey Mike, Thanks for recommending that Nick Lowe/Dave Edmunds film. It was very cool. As is your show.
	♥ 11:39am TDK60: Seems like drums were heavily dropped down, compressed, almost disappeared, in a lot of '60s tunes.
	♥ 11:39am McGroovey: This year I have to get out in a canoe with Handy. Last year I never got around to it.
	11:39am MuWfInMass: anywho have one of those pizza ovens for the home or outisde? been considering fir years but never convinced...
	11:40am Dean: Searching a bunch of dissertations to see if anybody has written about AFM's archive of contracts. Nothing so far, but among the results a 362 page DMA dissertation from U Wisconsin-Madison 2010, A history and discography of the bassoon in jazz.
	11:40am clarke: @tdk: it is mostly because they used ONE mic on the drum kit, most of the time.
	♥ 11:40am PaulRobeson1920: Good stuff Michael Shelley! Peace and LoVe one and all! Going for a run through the 1st Calvary cemetery in Sunnyside, Queens now! Much love WFMU & gentle people everywhere!
	♥ 11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: There's even a band called A Wilhelm Scream…
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: Love this scream.
	♥ 11:41am Hoboken Jack: Every week, Michael prays this podcast will do a very special episode on the Flintstones feet.
	♥ 11:41am Frank In Queens: I always referred it to the Star Wars scream because that's where I first heard it.
	11:41am phat: No. Way.
	♥ 11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: WHAT! This is a shocking development!!
	♥ 11:42am Hoboken Jack: Yo Greg!
	♥ 11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Jack 07030!
	♥ 11:42am bbob: Sheb Wooley!
	11:42am clarke: solving the world's mysteries - with #1 hits
	♥ 11:43am Roberto: I'm guessing the Team American inclusion was deliberately cheesy.
	♥ 11:43am Roberto: Oops Team America
	11:43am Wilhelm: Thank you . Thank you . The scream appears in the 1953 film “The Charge at Feather River” https://youtu.be/q3-Y8eTaMZc Now if you excuse me , I will just fill my pipe ...
	11:44am clarke: it's a little early for me
	♥ 11:44am spodiodi: i love that McDonald's cup :D
	♥ 11:44am happymaan: McD's has very good sweet tea.
	11:45am paul: :)
	♥ 11:47am Hoboken Jack: Only on the freeform radio can you hear a segue from "has McDonald's gone downhill" (spoiler alert: it hasn't) to record high Covid deaths.
	♥ 11:47am happymaan: Later folks, I'm off to make pickled shrimp. I bought some last week and we loved it so we're trying to make it. I'll be listening.
	11:47am clarke: dorsey used to have an auto repair shop on Tchoupetulias Street - always wanted our car to break down so we could take it there. the one time it DID - we were in laurel, MS. no lee, there.
	♥ 11:47am DJ Johnny Cool: Holy Cow!
	♥ 11:47am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for the Lee, Michael!
	11:48am clarke: oops - Tchoupitoulos St.
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Definitely, McGroovey!
	♥ 11:49am Corey: That Dorsey song is off the hook!
	♥ 11:51am West Trenton Vinnie: for a moment I thought it was "Sweet Insurrection"...
	♥ 11:51am DavidL: Haven't heard that Dorsey track before, it's great! Wonder if it has something of a Wichita Lineman story... like was the recording supposed to just be a demo, or were the guys were riffing over some new verses in between other songs on the session? Then before they sorted a chorus, someone decided it sounded pretty darn good as-is, and they released it? Curious!
	♥ 11:52am spodiodi: that kind of thing is happening to me more and more, Vinnie
	11:52am clarke: Paul Murphy - Drums!!!!!
	♥ 11:52am listener 126464: On Fyre!
	♥ 11:53am common: yep
	♥ 11:54am HyperDose: happymaan Pickled shrimp? That's on brand for Charlie Kelly
	♥ 11:55am Frank Zaatar: Wow, that Lyres track is canonical.
	11:56am phat: Los best fake Beatles! Where's Gaylord?
	♥ 11:56am Michael Shelley: I do wish the message board supported adding photos
	♥ 11:58am Hubig Pie: Make your pickle brine with olive oil, cider vinegar, sugar, bay leaves, allspice, dill, capers, onions, garlic , lemon and flake salt
	11:59am vertual: Thanks for all the positive energy and music, M.
	11:59am Todd-o-phonic Todd: You really shaken' things up today Michael. Bonus points to @Frank Zaatar for "canonical".
	♥ 12:01pm HyperDose: Hate to leave so soon but UFC starts at noon today. Be well everyone!
	12:01pm Mika: Tell your doc you don’t need digital screening for prostate cancer if that’s the issue
	12:01pm Mika: p.s can send you the link to that recommendation
	♥ 12:01pm Kotzwinkled: It's normal to get aroused during a physical. My doctor does every time! <rimshot>
	♥ 12:02pm Hoboken Jack: Happy Saturday 126464!
	12:02pm GListener MW: Chickens on the bus? Just like the finale of MASH! ^_^
	12:02pm phat: Oh no, Guadalajara won't do...
	♥ 12:03pm Roberto: Oh yeah I had the option of taking a similar bus ride when I was studying in Guadalajara in 1988. I was like "nahhhhh"
	12:03pm paul: Someone shut that chicken up!
	12:03pm phat: @GListener MW I was just thinking about that MASH the other day.
	♥ 12:03pm Pedro in Arlington: Mike - Sounds like your computer is making those Microsoft notification sounds.
	♥ 12:03pm Frank In Queens: Dry oatmeal.
	12:04pm jeff: hey michael any chance of squeezing in something by our dear departed sylvain sylvain?
	♥ 12:04pm spodiodi: MW, that chicken was a BABY! :~(
	12:04pm clarke: ha ha ha ha!
	♥ 12:04pm Hughie Considine: The Much-Touched Corn could be the 6ths' follow-up to Wasps' Nests and Hyacinths + Thistles.
	♥ 12:05pm Frank Zaatar: @Todd: Thank you for that round of applause.
	12:06pm clarke: no - that was.
	12:06pm phat: I'm fer that song.
	12:07pm Dennis Diken: @gf2002 - Hal also played brushed timbales on "Hawaii." he used timbales alot, tuned them way low at times. @Jack - hey! @Dean - ha! as Del Shannon once said, "keep searchin'"! there are some sites that offer some info on NYC sessions (tho no contracts), I'll try to find the link(s), if not today then in upcoming weeks
	♥ 12:07pm DJ Johnny Cool: That Cosimo sound, I dig it!
	♥ 12:08pm Michael Shelley: @Muy- rudest least constructive comment by a cowardly troll
	12:09pm clarke: dry oatmeal.
	12:10pm gf2002: Herb and the TJB with vocals! And the Route 66 piano lick! Oh, wait a minute...
	12:12pm phat: I may give up trying to figure out who played drums on that Dorando track. Not available on Discogs or Allmusic.
	♥ 12:12pm Listener Baby: Bongo feet... NOw!!
	♥ 12:13pm Hoboken Jack: Hoboken Jack trivia: "Blister in the Sun" is one of my few karaoke go-to's. (You like THAT, Muy?)
	12:13pm Dennis Diken: here's that site re NYC sessions and other info. I've only glanced at it. https://soul60scodified.wordpress.com/soul-hits-from-nyc-2/
	♥ 12:13pm greg g: @Hughie Considine : Good call! The 6ths are criminally overlooked!
	♥ 12:13pm spodiodi: lol, Jack. i do :)
	♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: i always thought i'd do "my way", but the opportunity never really presented itself
	12:14pm phat: I love those wacked out 60s stereo mixes. Shit. I should try that sometime and see if anyone notices.
	♥ 12:15pm Hoboken Jack: Spodi, your moment is coming, and when it does, it will be glorious!
	♥ 12:17pm spodiodi: thanos fist i think i'm ready, Jack!
	12:18pm phat: I've done karaoke twice. The first time was with a very, very sexy young woman (I was quite young, too) that I was very into. I was, very, very drunk. She wanted to do "You're the One That I Want," from the Grease Soundtrack. It's probably best I can hardly remember it.
	♥ 12:18pm Kotzwinkled: Speaking of proposals, I knew I would propose to my now-wife when I saw Cactus Blossoms cover Charlie Rich's "Life Has Its Little Ups and Downs"
	♥ 12:19pm Squints: Still boggles my mind that this Desperado wasn't a huuuuuuge radio hit.
	12:20pm phat: @Kotzwinkled that's a great story
	♥ 12:20pm Hughie Considine: I for one would applaud the return of the name Betty.
	12:20pm clarke: speaking of proposals: i propose we do MovieTime
	♥ 12:21pm Listener Baby: @Hughie. You mean in place of Ashlyn?
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: Frank Rizzo <3
	12:22pm phat: @Hughie Considine Elizabeth is still a very popular name. Perhaps people will bring back the diminutive. That's a very hipster thing to do.
	♥ 12:22pm Squints: I believe it's a "mouth full of bloody chiclets."
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: "... sizzle chest"
	♥ 12:24pm Hughie Considine: haha, @LB. @Phat, Elizabeth is pretty timeless, but somehow Betty connotes to me a mid-50s-ness, e.g., Betty Draper in Mad Men, and has a retro cool that indeed should make a comeback.
	♥ 12:25pm Hughie Considine: Syl's "14th Street" is extremely catchy and features a classic MTA bing-bong. From all accounts, he was a lovely guy.
	12:25pm phat: Sylvain was supposed to play our little punk rock club back in the 90s and he canceled. Still super bummed about that. This song is fabulous.
	♥ 12:25pm Michael Shelley: Ive done Karaoke once, in Japan - did "Dont Pull Your Love" & some hall & oats song.
	♥ 12:26pm PaulRobeson1921: I love you too
	♥ 12:26pm Squints: I'd be all for a Cactus Blossoms cover of Paul Revere & The Raiders' "Ups And Downs."
	12:26pm phat: I'm never doing karaoke again. I hate it. I'll sing in a band, playing an instrument. But I really hate karaoke.
	12:26pm Ross T.: If this tune were released by a new artist we'd be getting all worked up.
	12:26pm egould310: I have never heard this Sylvain Sylvain. I’m smitten. Thanks, Mike!
	♥ 12:27pm Hubig Pie: In movie news, 2nites noir offering - Witness to Murder, a poor man's Rear Window
	12:27pm she-ape: I didn’t know about this side of him! So good.
	12:27pm clarke: fantastical piano
	♥ 12:28pm Roberto: Luv da Rose Garden!
	12:28pm KWilde: Hey Michael Sheely!
	12:28pm vertual: For some reason an odd childhood memory is watching Cher sing "Don't Pull Your Love" on one of her cheesy variety hours.
	12:28pm clarke: thanks Hubig - one i have NOT seen, yet (and was wondering)
	12:29pm phat: And they did 50s music without making it sound like when 70s rock stars tried to do revival stuff. That was always bad, like "The Load Out."
	12:29pm Crei6hton: Afternoon WFMU!
	12:29pm Shari: That Syl Sylvian song Just made me cry for so many reasons.
	12:29pm Dennis Diken: I played with Sylvain once and agree that he was a sweet man, it was a real pleasure
	12:29pm clarke: love The Load Out
	♥ 12:31pm Squints: WRT The Load Out, nobody says anything bad about David Lindley on my watch. 8^)
	12:31pm clarke: cowbell any one?
	12:31pm jeff: thanks a bunch for the syl!!
	12:31pm Ross T.: Love "Ups and Downs"
	12:31pm egould310: @phat because punks were just playing rock n roll. Those other artists were playing “50’s”. There is a difference.
	♥ 12:31pm Frank Zaatar: Sylvain Sylvain: One of the great Sephardic American rock stars.
	♥ 12:31pm Listener Baby: Just finished The Load Out. But I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing.
	12:31pm Mister Dobalina: I'm a cowboy who's never seen a cow!
	12:32pm clarke: lol Baby. BABY!!!!
	12:32pm clarke: what would Mrs. Dobalina say?
	12:33pm Ross T.: Zilch
	♥ 12:33pm Listener Baby: Sorry.
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Hold on, let me go ask her. brb.
	12:33pm gf2002: Movie recommendation to see Sylvain in action: Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck's collection of home videos of the NY Dolls, "All Dolled Up". It was on either Amazon or Netflix too, may still be available there. They also had a full documentary on Syl available too
	12:34pm Dennis Diken: perhaps Mitty is another name worthy of revival?
	12:34pm clarke: this week i saw AutoRewind - the bob crane story, which i liked, but... kinnear just never convinced me he is the guy who did Hogan.
	12:35pm gf2002: I've said for years the name "Bo" should make a comeback...
	12:35pm clarke: ..and i like kinnear
	♥ 12:35pm Hughie Considine: @Dennis, you beat me to it!
	12:35pm Dean: Only saw Syl once, when he played with David J.'s band at Cuckoo's Nest in Costa Mesa. One of the supreme rock shows. Had to wring out my t-shirt on the walk back to the car.
	12:35pm Tim: What Mexican beach town. I spent many an hour on Mexican buses ...oh the stories
	♥ 12:36pm Listener Baby: Baby. Are you okay? Little slow on the Bongo feet. Not like you.
	12:37pm Bob: Hey, wha happen?
	12:37pm egould310: I’d like to see a documentary about the sordid lifestyle of the actor who played Major General Burkhalter.
	♥ 12:37pm listener 126464: Hello Jack and likewise!
	12:37pm clarke: apparently --- he's NOT ok
	12:37pm Dennis Diken: @Hughie - ha!
	♥ 12:38pm dave wuz here: love love love the DJ band
	12:38pm clarke: that burkhalter guy is in a lot of films
	12:39pm clarke: the Ouchelor
	♥ 12:39pm Frank In Queens: Wow, I never figured Michael would be a part of Bachelor Nation.
	♥ 12:39pm Bootsie: A requirement of appearing on the Bachelor should be agreement to be neutered.
	♥ 12:40pm Pedro in Arlington: @GF2002 That Dolls footage collection is on YouTube. Watched last night. Was from something called Noisey. At least that was the logo in the corner.
	12:40pm KWilde: Love Bucky
	12:41pm clarke: yesss!! The Voice!!!
	♥ 12:41pm Michael Shelley: Frank - THE WORST THING EVER
	12:42pm Ross T.: S-P-A-M-I-N-A-T-O
	♥ 12:42pm Squints: I'm glad he's doing OK, I hope. But, Lord, do I miss Joey.
	12:42pm Dennis Diken: re: Leon Askin who played Gen Burkhalter - The Smithereens once hired him to appear in a video that, ultimately, stayed in the can (long story). it was pretty cool to hang with him, indeed. when we asked him about the death of Bob Crane he exclaimed "crrime of passion!!"
	♥ 12:42pm Hubig Pie: Werner Klemperer's father Otto was an acclaimed symphony orchestra conductor
	12:42pm clarke: Jody St. Nicklaus
	♥ 12:42pm Jimmy Wipper: Yes, I think your family is going to have to listen to hours of phone pranks to pay you back for having to sit through The Bachelor. Hey Clarke, Hey Mr. Wilde!
	♥ 12:43pm Frank In Queens: Michael, I believe it!
	12:43pm KWilde: Hey Mr Wipper!
	12:44pm clarke: whips!!!!! wassnew??
	12:44pm Ross T.: @Dennis Diken -- I hear him saying "A crime of passion...Hogan!" in his Burkhalter dialect.
	12:45pm KWilde: Bachelor Night alternating with Jerky Boys - seems like a fair trade
	12:45pm Ross T.: Gonna go google "lost Smithereens videos" now.
	12:45pm clarke: hmm...burkhalter hardly ever talked to hogan??
	♥ 12:45pm Jimmy Wipper: Like the rest of the world--just counting the hours until Weds. at noon!
	12:46pm clarke: ha ha ha.
	12:46pm DG: With the rise of MeToo and all the feminist activism, etc. HOW is The Bachelor still a thing? (apologies to John Oliver). I don't get it. And Michael, "Don't Pull Your Love" is a great karaoke choice...one of those great, overwrought '70s singles. Also hadn't heard that Sylvain track in ages, forgot he did it...."Teenage News" is great too. The Dolls played some free show downtown when they reunited in '05 or so, now kicking myself that I missed it. Also played that Little Steven Garage-Rock fest, maybe around the same time.
	12:46pm Ross T.: Au contraire -- a go to line for Burkhalter was "it's too bad you're not on our side, Hogan!"
	12:47pm egould310: I’m not sure Burkhalter ever really addressed Hogan directly. Burkhalter showed up usually to climb inside Col Klink’s jockstrap.
	12:47pm Dennis Diken: @Ross T - that was his real voice, indeed!
	♥ 12:47pm TDK60: Me too, Satan. Out! Demons Out!
	12:47pm Ross T.: Ha!
	♥ 12:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: AMEN!
	12:48pm gf2002: No one could deliver the line "Honey Hornburg and the Stuttgart Steppers!" like Leon Askin! Burkhalter and Hogan interacted pretty often on the show.
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Saw the LS Garage Rock fest at the old Avalon in Boston in 2006. It was great.
	♥ 12:49pm Hubig Pie: Satan, me and you are thru !
	12:49pm clarke: have not seen a full episode in a LONG time!
	♥ 12:49pm DjLorraine: Sweater gals in Hogans Heros beats anything of the Bachelor
	♥ 12:50pm Jimmy Wipper: We're still on our Rockford Files kick. Almost up to Season 2.
	12:50pm egould310: DjLorraine is correct.
	♥ 12:50pm DjLorraine: I never heard this version of Let's Get Together
	12:50pm clarke: that's what i was wondering!! angel is not too prevalent in season two - if i recall correctly?
	♥ 12:51pm spodiodi: Satan, I want my records back.
	12:51pm gf2002: The question is often Ginger or Mary Ann. For me it's also Hilda or Helga.
	12:51pm phat: This Let's Get Together seems like Dr. Feelgood without the speed.
	12:51pm Ross T.: Yes, gf2002. When I was in boarding school we would watch repeats of Hogan's Heroes just before evening study hall, so I (sadly) saw every episode multiple times. In college I was in a play portraying an elder German aristocrat -- I basically did a Burkhalter impression for my accent! I was dissed by the local paper review btw....
	♥ 12:52pm Squints: Purdie bongo feet.
	♥ 12:52pm Jimmy Wipper: No, only an episode so far. But we were surprised to see that Stuart Margolin directed one of the episodes.
	♥ 12:52pm Corey: I tried reading a long New Yorker about the crazies that attacked the Capitol. Had to set it aside to avoid spoiling the #1 hit music. Confusing and unsettling indeed.
	♥ 12:52pm Listener Baby: Baby. Just put it away. Live to fight another day.
	♥ 12:52pm spodiodi: lol, Ross T
	12:53pm egould310: Ugh. I have to prepare for a business phone call. Should be brief. But still, on a Saturday... Good bongo feet. Thanks for the tunes, Michael.
	12:53pm Ross T.: No method for me!
	12:53pm vertual: Got my Flintstone Feet fix for the week !
	12:53pm clarke: yes, i think stuart directs two Rockfords - and some later work as director of other shows
	♥ 12:53pm TDK60: Thanks for the smash hits, Michael.
	12:54pm Listener Bop Monroe: another great show Mr. MS. stay safe. ....and i know NOSSSSINK!
	12:54pm gf2002: @Ross T Yes indeed! It was my stay home sick from school afternoon TV after Bob Barker. And in college my roommate would say "Hogans!" when it was on and we'd watch. It's still on MeTV every weeknight from 10-11
	12:54pm clarke: there is one structure: GAIN!!!
	12:54pm Dennis Diken: Mr. Askin told us about a character on the show being purposely named "Gertruda" because it would sound funny in his Burkhalter voice!
	♥ 12:54pm Jimmy Wipper: I also stumbled on to this page: rockfordfilesfilminglocations.blogspot.com
	12:55pm gf2002: @Dennis Diken Yes!!! That was Burkhalter's sister who he was always trying to marry off to Klink. That's hilarious!
	♥ 12:55pm spodiodi: thanks for the tunes, Michael Shelley! thanks, Crew! see you all
	12:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: So great to hear this Rubinoos tune...
	12:56pm gf2002: Leon also played a spy on a Monkees episode where he was trying to get a pair of ballet shoes from a girl Peter was dating. The accent made Leon's lines that much more funny.
	12:56pm phat: @Jimmy Wipper Oh! My! God!
	♥ 12:57pm Corey: Thanks Michael and skeleton crew! Killer show! Take care all.
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Michael! Be well, Shelle Gamers!
	12:57pm clarke: WOW - will check that site, james. fun shew here folks!! do NOT get that Rubinoos EP - horrible 80's production
	♥ 12:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks Michael and Ruth for another stellar show! Stay safe, everybody!
	♥ 12:58pm Hubig Pie: Haven't seen HH in many a decade, was Burkhalter the guy who liked to offer a night in the cooler ?
	12:58pm Ross T.: Last Hogan anecdote -- my most remembered moment was Ivan Dixon in a Wehrmacht uniform on one their outside the stalag escapades.
	12:58pm Dean: Saw Robbie Dunbar (Earth Quake) with Al Chan at a pub near Berkeley a few years ago.
	12:58pm Dennis Diken: @gf2002 - truly! it's so cool that LA "got it" that his character/voicing was so funny. Mikey, thanks for a splendid show! you too Ruth!
	♥ 12:58pm Hughie Considine: Great show, as always - thanks, Michael
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feeling you been Muy'd??
	♥ 12:59pm Jimmy Wipper: It's a fun site and also part of the fun of watching The Rockford Files is seeing '70s L.A.
	♥ 12:59pm spodiodi: hubig, he was the highest ranking officer (?), who'd come to visit/inspect the camp occasionally
	12:59pm Ross T.: Thanks as always, Michael. Youdaman!
	12:59pm Dennis Diken: Leon also said "Ivan Dixon wanted to be a director" and we could not get him to say "cooler"?! for some reason he wouldn't do it!
	♥ 12:59pm Frank In Queens: Good show Michael.
	♥ 1:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Michael & Ruth!
	1:00pm Dennis Diken: don't get me started on Mr. Fields!!
	1:01pm Andres: Never met a pickle I didn’t like. Can’t say the same for gherkins.

	11:26am Dennis Diken: @dean - after I wrote that piece on Buddy, who played on tons of incredible records (cut in NYC), it came to my attention that it was more likely Gary Chester (according to various credible sources) on “Sugar, Sugar.” Unfortunately, the NYC AFM contracts are scarce, at best, unlike the ones from LA. And memories of some players, understandably, get fuzzy with age. Having said that, it’s always possible that Buddy might have played percussion or an overdub here. Interestingly, Hal Blaine played live percussion on some Beach Boys tracks that Dennis drummed on. “Hawaii” and “Warmth Of The Sun” come to mind. I think “I Get Around” is another and maybe “Dance, Dance Dance”?

	♥ 12:25pm Hughie Considine: Syl's "14th Street" is extremely catchy and features a classic MTA bing-bong. From all accounts, he was a lovely guy.

	12:46pm DG: With the rise of MeToo and all the feminist activism, etc. HOW is The Bachelor still a thing? (apologies to John Oliver). I don't get it. And Michael, "Don't Pull Your Love" is a great karaoke choice...one of those great, overwrought '70s singles. Also hadn't heard that Sylvain track in ages, forgot he did it...."Teenage News" is great too. The Dolls played some free show downtown when they reunited in '05 or so, now kicking myself that I missed it. Also played that Little Steven Garage-Rock fest, maybe around the same time.
	12:46pm Ross T.: Au contraire -- a go to line for Burkhalter was "it's too bad you're not on our side, Hogan!"
	12:47pm egould310: I’m not sure Burkhalter ever really addressed Hogan directly. Burkhalter showed up usually to climb inside Col Klink’s jockstrap.

	12:51pm Ross T.: Yes, gf2002. When I was in boarding school we would watch repeats of Hogan's Heroes just before evening study hall, so I (sadly) saw every episode multiple times.
