Lolabelle Pancake:

Welcome, Codgetarians! We look forward to seeing you at 6pm. We have quite a few special guests on tonight's program who will attest to Courtney's dominance of the radio arts. They will urge you to pledge to WFMU (and of course, 50% of that pledge money will go directly into Courtney's pocket!).

Listener Robert:

Flabbio thinks he's something for being able to proclaim he's playing a vinyl. Meaning a cheap plastic imitation. Wake me up when he can say it's a genuine shellac. Or wax.
  3:10pm
Listener Robert:

Hah! While Codger keeps up with audio technology, Flabbio's playing Morse code!
  3:34pm
Listener Robert:

Did you lift "Codgetarians" from the handle used an hour earlier, "The Encogitationer", by someone commenting on The Blog Formerly Known As Hit and Run?

Hello, everyone. I was under the sunlamp this afternoon. I'm tanned, relaxed, and ready to monitor the comments board and administer the playlist. Sorry my photo here doesn't reflect that I'm now technically a Person of Color.

What treats are in store for us this evening, Lolabelle? Can you share any of it ahead of time?

There will be special guest appearances by TWO Bodenheims, one making his debut!

"Sorry... no playlist updates in over 15 minutes, waiting for the DJ to update what they've been playing." Consider how much better Lolabelle maintains the playlist here!

Loveless, I am guessing Lolabelle's apparent melanin deficiency would make her a PPC--a Person of Pale Color--even after a tanning booth session.

Thank you, Joe McGasko. That was mighty gracious of you considering your "complicated" history with Courtney.

Codger doesn't actually even use the phrase Surface Noise. He uses the phrase "Shurfashe Noizhe."

I understand this Formby song is being considered for the opening credits sequence of the movie adaptation of Gus Bodenheim's "Handful of Chuck"

Thanks to Gregory in Crystal, Minnesota, for pledging. WOW! The FM signal is really drifting far tonight!

lolabelle - do you know the next year after 2022 that calendar would be good for? i'm just doing some estate planning and want to will it to someone who might still be alive.

It will work for 2033 and 2039.

Louis Jordan sounding Caribbean. Well that's interesting.

Louis Jordan recorded a number of calypso tunes.

"all manner of bottom-feeders" -- don't hold back, Courtney -- tell us what you *really* think
  6:24pm
Listener Robert:

Speaking of schedule makers, it looks like some skullduggery from Flabbio must have resulted in the Rock and Soul stream's having a "retro" program opposite the Old Codger's. Flabbio will resort to anything to divert audience from here, even if he has to sacrifice some of his own in the process.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

Just made my first donation. So excited for the calendar. Hope I did everything right! Looked as if I did. I make sure to catch this show live every week. Radio at its best, and I really appreciate how I wind up learning about all of these great artists who were so famous back in their days and seem otherwise forgotten now.

Courtney's not a philatelist. He's a phil*anderer*.

Is that why they call it a Faulknerian Comma?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm

No, that comma ("serial comma") was house style at Oxford Univ Press in the UK

Courtney once knew an editor who was a serial comma killer.

I love the Oxford comma, but I'll do without it if that's the price of having the Old Codger Hour on the radio.

Hi, Lolabelle. I'm happy to be the liaison between Courtney and Booker T. Just don't ask me to do the same between Booker T. and the other Bodenheims.

@rrg: Aye that.

Gaylord Fields:

Bobby "Blue" Bodenheim hails from the Mississippi River branch, but strangely enough for a blues singer, the part of the river in Minnesota.
Avatar 6:58pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Well, Gaylord, Booker T. reads a lot of books, and the other Bodenheims write a lot of them. Surely there is some grounds for rapprochement.

The Codger is the only person who would abduct your cat for ransom, and when the ransom is paid, you get back more cats than were abducted.
