	12:09pm listener james from westwood: Good Friday, UM and all! Just dealing with a spilled bottle of drain cleaner in the kitchen . . . the remainder of which failed to clear the clog for which it was bought. Screwed by chemicals again. . . .

	12:13pm dan: Neil!!!!!!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	🛒 12:15pm Franco Twinkie: As nice as that version of One Mint Julep was, without the comical narrative of consequences it looses the completely relatable action-reaction story compression that makes for a tale of human weakness that is both universal and personal at the same time.
	12:16pm Eric Kilkenny: Hah PINBALL! <3 thanks buddy :)
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Franco! You're right!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: @Eric: RIGHT?!
	🛒 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: I know I'm right.
	12:19pm rw: Franco is always right. Why didn't I know that Pinball song before now??
	12:19pm dan: It's one mint julep and basically you trip, stumble and fall on the stones like a game of pinball.
	12:19pm HyperDose: Never thought I'd hear someone write a song about West Virginia
	12:19pm TDK60: Morning Morgantown, haven't heard in a spell.

	12:22pm Spinning Giant: pulling up my campchair around the fire here for the singalong :D
	12:22pm rw: I got to go to Joni Mitchell's house once. Unfortunately she wasn't there, but I did (without permission) strum her guitar a little!

	12:24pm coelacanth∅: i'd prefer a yellowtail roll in the sun
	12:24pm HyperDose: UM I heard that too haha
	12:25pm hunkered oats: Mobile greetings Hink & Hinksters!
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: ...but there's no sun visible here, and sushi is not in the cards
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: This among the saddest songs ever recorded.
	🛒 12:26pm Phillippe: OMG, I love this album. and the album cover!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: hunkered! oats!
	12:27pm coelacanth∅: . . . now i've got to think about high school friends. thanks.

	12:27pm dan: @UM Not as sad as Eric Carmen's "The Way We Used To Be"
	12:28pm doctorjazz: David Lindley was a big part of making these records work!
	12:29pm doctorjazz: Here he is!
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: The Pretender is no laughing matter.

	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Yes. John!
	🛒 12:34pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael...Jerry Garcia played pedal steel guitar on Tarkio Road
	12:34pm coelacanth∅: i think this is the flip to one toke ...?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Yep.
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: (i suppose i could look at the video and see if it's an lp or a 45)
	🛒 12:35pm Franco Twinkie: I agree whole heartedly Doc. The first time I saw Jackson Browne in a small club in 1973 I had no idea who he was or what he had done, but a friend of mine liked him so I went with her. It was just him and David. We were sitting in the front row and she was drooling over Jackson and I was totally fascinated with David. Forty eight years later I still am.
	12:36pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	🛒 12:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My teenage years too. First show I ever say was Mamas and Papas at the Hollywood bowl, with a church group. Jimi Hendrix opened and I didn't know what to think of him.
	12:38pm johnk77: rip rusty young:< poco amazingly great live early 1971
	12:38pm adamdoesit: Hello UM and dinks, from the great state of New York, where the seagulls scream something less encouraging.
	12:39pm jimbrux: Hi Uncle Michael and...er...Hinks? Hinky Dinkers? Old timers? What is the collective noun?
	12:39pm still b/p: What did the church group think about Jimi?
	12:40pm Listening Out There: @jimbrux: "Monkeys"
	🛒 12:40pm Alvy Singer: A band from Japan named themselves after this XTC song. I believe they are now based out of NYC.
	12:40pm jimbrux: @Listening Out There lol
	12:41pm KWilde: Doin' good UM!
	🛒 12:41pm Franco Twinkie: John77, Rusty was amazing! I saw Poco in 1971 at the Santa Monica Civic. He played the petal steel as hard and fast as Johnny Winter.
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: Late for the Sky makes me think of Travis Bickle and his Teevee
	12:44pm chresti: Hi dinks!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: adam! jim! hubig! chresti!
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Late For The Sky is poignant in many ways, including the album cover which was a collaboration between Bob Seidman and Rick Griffin.
	🛒 12:47pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Hinky Dinkyland!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	12:48pm HyperDose: chresti and Kevin are here wooo!
	12:48pm TDK60: Got to see D. Lindley solo once, early '00s.

	12:49pm mauri: Hey there Uncle Michael!
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: mauri!
	🛒 12:51pm Phillippe: I rmember Moshe Brakha doing some real interesting album covers around that era. Sea Level and Ritchie Havens come to mind
	12:51pm johnk77: john mcfee gave jerry garcia pedal steel tips early on
	🛒 12:52pm Brian in UK: johnk77, was he in Clover?
	12:53pm johnk77: @brianuk correct and later doobie bros
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: He was, yes.
	12:53pm HyperDose: Imagine being in a rap battle and this dude roasts you
	🛒 12:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: Ben Sidran...Ah, yes, part of the Good Steve Miller!
	🛒 12:54pm Phillippe: did T-Bone Burnett cover this too, or am I just wishful thinking that?
	🛒 12:55pm Phillippe: (too lazy to google here...)
	12:55pm Hubig Pie: Another side of Bob Dylan
	🛒 12:56pm Franco Twinkie: Phillippe, Moshe Brakha had this own thing going on for sure. I heard in a former life he was an Israeli commando.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: Clover supported Elvis on his first album. When John Stewart came over here in 1974 he used Pete Thomas who was in Chilli Willy as a pickup drummer, who then returned with him to America. Later ofcourse to join the Attractions.
	12:58pm doctorjazz: Love these Swing "Little Big Bands"!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Doc.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Howard Werth ain't livin' long like this...
	🛒 12:59pm Phillippe: @Franco I remember his stuff had a Polaroid look, not sure if that was his weapon of choice. Interesting about his early career
	🛒 1:01pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: still b/p I think we were all kind of "what is this strange guy, where are the Mamas and Papas???"
	1:01pm adamdoesit: @doctorjazz, me too. The sweet spot of swing, in so many ways.
	1:02pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: KW! didn't see you!
	1:02pm burke: Funky Blossom!
	1:03pm jmd: Uncle, y'all!
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Cmurtha!
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	1:04pm jmd: love the bass on this Blossom Dearie. Busy, but not in the way.
	1:05pm jmd: Pete Morgan
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Tartar, cool! (Andy Statman's teacher)
	1:07pm Goyim in the AM: Mohini would have completely overplayed, maaaaan.
	🛒 1:08pm Franco Twinkie: Phil, Moshe was one of the first guys to use a hot flash in daylight situations. That, and pushing the color were two of his trademarks.
	1:08pm doctorjazz: *Tarras, that is
	1:09pm Hubig Pie: I always keep my radio tuned to the inscrutable side of the dial
	1:09pm Listening Out There: Have heard more than once that Miles Davis' "Nardis" is named after Ben Sidran, i.e. an anagram of the last name Sidran....
	🛒 1:10pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc, I wore that FMU jersey out last night.
	1:10pm TDK60: I perhaps am prepared to rock, after pondering, yes.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: Goyim!
	1:11pm prudy: please don't play any Michael Stanley...
	1:11pm Stanley: Quo! Uncle!
	1:11pm dan: Status Quo, the bounciest band of all time.
	1:11pm sufferwords: hey Bo which way to the stage- weren’t we just here? “ROCK AND ROLL!”
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: sufferwords!
	1:11pm Listening Out There: Define "ready"....
	1:12pm Hubig Pie: I was hoping to get in a quick jog before having to rock
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: sorry
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	1:12pm doctorjazz: Billy Kyle was pianist for John Kirby, the quintessential"Little Big Band".
	🛒 1:14pm dutchtheo: Status Quo, I'm 12 again!
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: A lot of those bands recorded under the name of whatever member was leading a session.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Possible set theme for Uncle Mike: Every song has at least one cuss word. Start with Steve Earle's "Fuck the FCC."
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Fuck yes.
	1:15pm johnk77: @brian i did not know that pete thomas played w/dave stewart got to hang w/pete a few times later good guy, funny and relaxed in 1979 john mcfee was carlene carter's music director and ex-clover bassist the late john ciambotti was carlene's manager
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Soft Boys at their most 'Stranglers'?
	🛒 1:18pm Brian in UK: I think John Ciambotti played on Lucinda William's early albums. Pete hit the drums very hard.
	1:20pm prudy: missed seeing Robyn play because of the pandemic...oh well...
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: "Lump of Steak" was the name of my first....
	1:20pm Hubig Pie: The Stranglers Bring on the Nubiles would fit your curse word music set
	🛒 1:21pm Phillippe: @Franco yeah, I really liked the whole "surprise" vibe of his pics back then, even when they were staged. Kind of added to the spontaneous feel to the whole punk thing when he was capturing that crowd, even though we know better now. Punk rockers and their uniform of individuality...
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: johnk77, this was the concert that John Stewart came over to play. Zigzag was a great fanzine, how would we learn of any thing American then without them. www.rgfrecords.co.uk...
	1:22pm dan: Pink Floyd sounding like The Moody Blues on this track.
	1:23pm AS from MP: Pedro & Uncle Mike: I recall Joe Belock doing a fill-in streaming show somewhere back 4-5 yrs (?) ago where profanity, his and musical, was the entire theme.
	🛒 1:24pm Phillippe: Lucinda Williams' father was the Poet Laureate of the US under Clinton, I think.Or maybe Victoria Williams' father. One of them two. Again, too lazy to google... (actually, trying to avoid google rabbit holes...)
	1:24pm TDK60: Never heard of Zigzag mag, Brian.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: AS!
	🛒 1:27pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, That 'stagey' thing was very important in creating the overall effect. I seem to remember Moshe worked in that crevice between high fashion and punk. Two social groups that really wanted to get in the magazines.
	🛒 1:28pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I love this Clucking song - this kind of tight, fast song. Not quite power pop.
	🛒 1:29pm Franco Twinkie: It was Lucinda.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: 'Interview' aesthetic, Franco.
	🛒 1:30pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, but decidedly west coast.
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Phillippe, yes it was Lucinda. TDK60, it was a priceless form of information. You may have come across the family trees by Pete Frame. rockfamilytrees.co.uk
	1:31pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks, UM!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: See ya Doc! Thanks!
	1:32pm Rich in Washington: Groovy show today, UM! Been listening all morning, doing chores around the hacienda.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Thanks!
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Yaaay! My afternoon appointment just got rescheduled. I am doing the full-Hinky!
	1:37pm dan: The rare stuff is found on Internet Archive.
	🛒 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: Democracy for better or worst.
	1:38pm TDK60: Thanks, Brian. I'd seen a few of those trees. Now, a further connection. Further..
	1:39pm burke: I never give my vault-scraper the proper maintenance
	1:40pm Andres: Elaborate. Please.
	1:40pm Rich in Washington: Oh man! I'm dealing with that too, UM! Especially while trying to do radio! But enough about that... ;)
	1:40pm prudy: first world complaint?
	🛒 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: We all must dwell on this and come to our own conclusions Michael?
	🛒 1:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hmm, what is my favorite chicken song? Maybe Run Chicken Run? Trouble in the Henhouse by NRBQ?
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Franco.
	🛒 1:42pm Phillippe: Lucinda it is.
	🛒 1:43pm Phillippe: Pretty fond of the Popeye's Chicken jingle...
	1:44pm burke: "Chicken Train" by Ozark Mtn Daredevils
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: aww burke wins!
	🛒 1:46pm Phillippe: Yeah, probably less hungry after listening to burke's choice...
	1:46pm Andres: I wouldn’t encourage anyone to say things they might later regret but I do enjoy a good rant. When they’re good they are cathartic and funny.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: I'd only regret spending the time that might better be spent on music.
	🛒 1:49pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, I'll assume this is a metaphor for examining aspect of reality and consciousness, and not that fixture sitting on the bridge of your nose?
	1:49pm Doug Schulkind: Hasil Adkins is my go-to for favorite songs about chickens (or songs chicken-adjacent).
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Franco, if that makes you view me as processing more gravitas than I can actually claim, I shall not dissuade you.
	🛒 1:51pm Franco Twinkie: Hmmm. I have have to think about that.
	1:54pm chresti: Suave
	1:54pm still b/p: I was thinkin', for the people...now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and cumbia. Although, if Chicken Train rolls through here, there'd be some anxiety-dispersing singing goin' on then, too.
	2:01pm barrett785: Chicken Train coming? DINKY CHIX
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Pat!
	2:02pm burke: hooray!
	2:02pm The Oscar: Afternoon! If we're doing chicken songs, I've always been partial to Spike Jones' version of "Holiday for Strings."
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	🛒 2:10pm Phillippe: A record label and an airport...
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: 1973 disco beat.
	2:13pm hunkered oats: TLIL - very different listening experience; this afternoon versus as a seven year old kid in 1973.
	2:13pm johnk77: @brian thanx for the link love the pete frame rock family trees w/foldouts! i have books 1&2 according to this source it was pete thomas who took jake riviera and nick lowe to see clover for the first time! much more great info about this period in alex call's book
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Today's Cubs loss to the Braves about to get underway.
	🛒 2:15pm Phillippe: Orioles fan here, UM. I can relate.
	2:16pm jimbrux: Man I'd forgotten how much I love that song (The love I lost)
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: this is my kind of set...but i have to take off Thanks Uncle M! take care y'all
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Don't get Doug started....
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: chicken mention
	2:17pm Listening Out There: @Uncle: You, Steve Goodman, and the Cubs....
	2:17pm Hubig Pie: I refuse to reveal which bottom dwelling team I root for
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: cya coel!
	🛒 2:17pm Alvy Singer: Earl Young created the heartbeat for disco with his drumming on The Love I Lost.
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: Orioles are so bad they wouldn't let them wear 42 on Jackie Robinson day...
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: later coel!
	2:19pm Doug Schulkind: @Phillippe Oh our lowly Birds. It's been a long slog since '83.
	2:20pm prudy: This Sons of Slum is the bomb...
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: Still, over the past 113 years we've won more World Series than the Cubs.
	🛒 2:22pm Franco Twinkie: My mom gave me The Time Has Come by The Chambers Brothers for Christmas in 1968. Uptown created vivid fantasies in my head of Harlem that were checked and reconsidered when I finally walked the actual streets of Harlem years later. Talk about looking at the world through progressive lenses!
	2:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Bobby "Blue" Bland, one of the five greatest American singers ever. I'll settle on the other four later.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Get back to us, Pedro! I love you, Franco.
	2:24pm Eric Kilkenny: Terrific show today
	🛒 2:24pm Franco Twinkie: I love you too Michael.
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Eric.
	2:26pm johnk77: great work selecter
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: thank you, john
	2:27pm dan: The last surviving Harptone only retired recently after almost 70 years in the business.
	2:28pm melinda: hello everyone!
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: We just celebrated the Lao New Year, I believe.
	2:30pm sinner: Cubs will take at least 2 of 3 from Braves this weekend.
	2:31pm burke: I am the kinda guy to wish people a Happy New Year in April. Thanks UM. It's going in the scrapbook
	2:32pm prudy: Thanks for airing this gem UM...
	2:33pm wenzo llc.: damn I thought this was Bob & Ray for a sec.
	2:33pm Pedro in Arlington: Just tossing these out, UM, and will no doubt change my mind in an hour: Aretha, George Jones, Charley Patton, Bobby "Blue" Bland and Paul Robeson.
	2:33pm prudy: MSG
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: melinda! sinner! wenzo!
	🛒 2:34pm Franco Twinkie: I get mad at the Chinese because they think they can butt in line at the donut shop.
	2:35pm prudy: Franco...good point...
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Where do Candi Staton, Lou Rawls and Ronald Isley go?
	2:35pm Lizardner Dave !: Was that suitable for 2021? Mr Science might have to use the Andy Breckman excuse: 'It's OK, I'm a racist!"
	2:36pm doctorjazz: Been listening in the car, sounding great, UM! Have to head out again after a quick bite, bring my new laptop back to Best Buy, problems already (not getting along in the computer world these days). Thanks, UM!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: There was some Ray, Wenzo!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	2:38pm Lizardner Dave !: Or maybe it's just me....I flinch at any "bit" that mentions any kind of identity. Guess all the HR training my company mandates for everyone has taken hold.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Doc, you're gonna hate missing the closing.
	2:38pm Pedro in Arlington: Top "X" list-making is painful. Probably why Hulu canceled "High Fidelity" as a TV series.
	2:38pm chresti: I get mad at our Chinese neighbors when they chop their trees down.
	2:38pm Pedro in Arlington: But not before WFMU bumper stickers were seen in some episodes.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: This is a great ode to domestic violence. Also retrograde...
	2:40pm KWilde: The faint aroma of performing seals ...
	2:40pm davefromtoronto: sung like someone who's single...
	2:41pm still b/p: The performing seals line always lands as most unlikely and weird but somehow wonderful.
	2:42pm Listening Out There: Waving flippers and barking....
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: It's pretty brilliant.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Great send off!
	🛒 2:44pm Brian in UK: Uncle not being picky but is Look Toward A Dream back to front?
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! The Other One. Bob in a moment of brilliant clarity.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Not gonna miss it!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: yes, thank you BiUK
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: a rare momnt?
	🛒 2:48pm Franco Twinkie: Without any judgment of what came after, I suppose so.
	2:51pm leshwatt: Just checking in. Turn it up!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: are you reddy?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Inside joke. Phil's incognito name is (or at least was) Reddy Kilowatt. I think leshwatt knows this!
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Uncle, freeform as ever.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: thank you for rolling along with me BiUK!
	🛒 2:55pm Brian in UK: Wish I had something to roll along with!!!!
	2:55pm leshwatt: Haha I forgot about that! Entering the Philzone!
	🛒 2:57pm Phillippe: Thank you UM! Peace and love, y'all
	2:57pm davefromtoronto: all aboard the festival express!
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Interesting how Phil Lesh supported modern 'classical' musicians like Havergill Brian from over here.
	🛒 2:57pm Franco Twinkie: Perfect timing, the aspirin and Tylenol are just starting to kick in. The show is over and I can leave the house pain free. Thank you Michael.
	2:58pm dan: Another great show UM
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, that's where Phil came from in his own formal training.
	🛒 2:58pm listener 126464: Yes, thanks UM!!!
	2:58pm HyperDose: Thanks UM, have a great weekend! :)
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for the company today!
	2:59pm doctorjazz: I think Phil is the most interesting part to listen to (and I love them all)! Kept me company to Best Buy, thanks, till next week!
	2:59pm melinda: I remember the Austin Municipal Auditorium, but I was not yet old enough to see the Dead in 1972. Cool to think about the old days.
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Cheer up, Uncle Michael. The Cubs'll get to play the Pirates again soon.
	3:00pm leshwatt: This is the anniversary of my first Dead show in 78 in Huntington WV Thanks Michael
	3:04pm Stanley: Thanks UM.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 16, 2021

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:09pm listener james from westwood: Good Friday, UM and all! Just dealing with a spilled bottle of drain cleaner in the kitchen . . . the remainder of which failed to clear the clog for which it was bought. Screwed by chemicals again. . . .

	12:13pm dan: Neil!!!!!!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	🛒 12:15pm Franco Twinkie: As nice as that version of One Mint Julep was, without the comical narrative of consequences it looses the completely relatable action-reaction story compression that makes for a tale of human weakness that is both universal and personal at the same time.
	12:16pm Eric Kilkenny: Hah PINBALL! <3 thanks buddy :)
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Franco! You're right!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: @Eric: RIGHT?!
	🛒 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: I know I'm right.
	12:19pm rw: Franco is always right. Why didn't I know that Pinball song before now??
	12:19pm dan: It's one mint julep and basically you trip, stumble and fall on the stones like a game of pinball.
	12:19pm HyperDose: Never thought I'd hear someone write a song about West Virginia
	12:19pm TDK60: Morning Morgantown, haven't heard in a spell.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: There's a new reissue of Joni's early albums on Reprise coming out.

	12:21pm Doug Schulkind: Joni
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: FFFN!
	12:22pm Spinning Giant: pulling up my campchair around the fire here for the singalong :D
	12:22pm rw: I got to go to Joni Mitchell's house once. Unfortunately she wasn't there, but I did (without permission) strum her guitar a little!
	12:23pm prudy: good afternoon UM and fellow travelers...onward!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: prudy!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: lobster in the sun

	🛒 12:24pm Brian in UK: Uncle, been playing some John Stewart recently, California Bloodlines, Cannons in the Rain etc. He does not age.
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: i'd prefer a yellowtail roll in the sun
	12:24pm HyperDose: UM I heard that too haha
	12:25pm hunkered oats: Mobile greetings Hink & Hinksters!
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: ...but there's no sun visible here, and sushi is not in the cards
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: This among the saddest songs ever recorded.
	🛒 12:26pm Phillippe: OMG, I love this album. and the album cover!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: hunkered! oats!
	12:27pm coelacanth∅: . . . now i've got to think about high school friends. thanks.

	12:27pm dan: @UM Not as sad as Eric Carmen's "The Way We Used To Be"
	12:28pm doctorjazz: David Lindley was a big part of making these records work!
	12:29pm doctorjazz: Here he is!
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: The Pretender is no laughing matter.
	🛒 12:32pm Phillippe: Quite a nice walk through my teenage years, UM. Thank you!
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Really loved this B & S album when it came out.
	12:33pm dan: Did anyone read that Rusty Young from Poco died on Wednesday?
	12:33pm johnk77: @drjazz strong agree on lindley lucky enough to meet and talk to lindley and howard dumble later in the 1970s both super nice and funny:>
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Yes. John!
	🛒 12:34pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael...Jerry Garcia played pedal steel guitar on Tarkio Road

	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Yep.
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: (i suppose i could look at the video and see if it's an lp or a 45)
	🛒 12:35pm Franco Twinkie: I agree whole heartedly Doc. The first time I saw Jackson Browne in a small club in 1973 I had no idea who he was or what he had done, but a friend of mine liked him so I went with her. It was just him and David. We were sitting in the front row and she was drooling over Jackson and I was totally fascinated with David. Forty eight years later I still am.
	12:36pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	🛒 12:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My teenage years too. First show I ever say was Mamas and Papas at the Hollywood bowl, with a church group. Jimi Hendrix opened and I didn't know what to think of him.
	12:38pm johnk77: rip rusty young:< poco amazingly great live early 1971
	12:38pm adamdoesit: Hello UM and dinks, from the great state of New York, where the seagulls scream something less encouraging.
	12:39pm jimbrux: Hi Uncle Michael and...er...Hinks? Hinky Dinkers? Old timers? What is the collective noun?
	12:39pm still b/p: What did the church group think about Jimi?
	12:40pm Listening Out There: @jimbrux: "Monkeys"
	🛒 12:40pm Alvy Singer: A band from Japan named themselves after this XTC song. I believe they are now based out of NYC.
	12:40pm jimbrux: @Listening Out There lol
	12:41pm KWilde: Doin' good UM!
	🛒 12:41pm Franco Twinkie: John77, Rusty was amazing! I saw Poco in 1971 at the Santa Monica Civic. He played the petal steel as hard and fast as Johnny Winter.
	12:44pm Hubig Pie: Late for the Sky makes me think of Travis Bickle and his Teevee
	12:44pm chresti: Hi dinks!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: adam! jim! hubig! chresti!
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Late For The Sky is poignant in many ways, including the album cover which was a collaboration between Bob Seidman and Rick Griffin.
	🛒 12:47pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Hinky Dinkyland!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	12:48pm HyperDose: chresti and Kevin are here wooo!
	12:48pm TDK60: Got to see D. Lindley solo once, early '00s.

	12:49pm mauri: Hey there Uncle Michael!
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: mauri!

	12:51pm johnk77: john mcfee gave jerry garcia pedal steel tips early on
	🛒 12:52pm Brian in UK: johnk77, was he in Clover?
	12:53pm johnk77: @brianuk correct and later doobie bros
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: He was, yes.
	12:53pm HyperDose: Imagine being in a rap battle and this dude roasts you
	🛒 12:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: Ben Sidran...Ah, yes, part of the Good Steve Miller!
	🛒 12:54pm Phillippe: did T-Bone Burnett cover this too, or am I just wishful thinking that?
	🛒 12:55pm Phillippe: (too lazy to google here...)
	12:55pm Hubig Pie: Another side of Bob Dylan
	🛒 12:56pm Franco Twinkie: Phillippe, Moshe Brakha had this own thing going on for sure. I heard in a former life he was an Israeli commando.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: Clover supported Elvis on his first album. When John Stewart came over here in 1974 he used Pete Thomas who was in Chilli Willy as a pickup drummer, who then returned with him to America. Later ofcourse to join the Attractions.
	12:58pm doctorjazz: Love these Swing "Little Big Bands"!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Doc.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Howard Werth ain't livin' long like this...
	🛒 12:59pm Phillippe: @Franco I remember his stuff had a Polaroid look, not sure if that was his weapon of choice. Interesting about his early career
	🛒 1:01pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: still b/p I think we were all kind of "what is this strange guy, where are the Mamas and Papas???"
	1:01pm adamdoesit: @doctorjazz, me too. The sweet spot of swing, in so many ways.
	1:02pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: KW! didn't see you!
	1:02pm burke: Funky Blossom!
	1:03pm jmd: Uncle, y'all!
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Cmurtha!
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	1:04pm jmd: love the bass on this Blossom Dearie. Busy, but not in the way.
	1:05pm jmd: Pete Morgan
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Tartar, cool! (Andy Statman's teacher)
	1:07pm Goyim in the AM: Mohini would have completely overplayed, maaaaan.
	🛒 1:08pm Franco Twinkie: Phil, Moshe was one of the first guys to use a hot flash in daylight situations. That, and pushing the color were two of his trademarks.
	1:08pm doctorjazz: *Tarras, that is
	1:09pm Hubig Pie: I always keep my radio tuned to the inscrutable side of the dial
	1:09pm Listening Out There: Have heard more than once that Miles Davis' "Nardis" is named after Ben Sidran, i.e. an anagram of the last name Sidran....
	🛒 1:10pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc, I wore that FMU jersey out last night.
	1:10pm TDK60: I perhaps am prepared to rock, after pondering, yes.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: Goyim!
	1:11pm prudy: please don't play any Michael Stanley...
	1:11pm Stanley: Quo! Uncle!
	1:11pm dan: Status Quo, the bounciest band of all time.
	1:11pm sufferwords: hey Bo which way to the stage- weren’t we just here? “ROCK AND ROLL!”
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: sufferwords!
	1:11pm Listening Out There: Define "ready"....
	1:12pm Hubig Pie: I was hoping to get in a quick jog before having to rock
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: sorry
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	1:12pm doctorjazz: Billy Kyle was pianist for John Kirby, the quintessential"Little Big Band".
	🛒 1:14pm dutchtheo: Status Quo, I'm 12 again!
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: A lot of those bands recorded under the name of whatever member was leading a session.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Possible set theme for Uncle Mike: Every song has at least one cuss word. Start with Steve Earle's "Fuck the FCC."
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Fuck yes.
	1:15pm johnk77: @brian i did not know that pete thomas played w/dave stewart got to hang w/pete a few times later good guy, funny and relaxed in 1979 john mcfee was carlene carter's music director and ex-clover bassist the late john ciambotti was carlene's manager
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Soft Boys at their most 'Stranglers'?
	🛒 1:18pm Brian in UK: I think John Ciambotti played on Lucinda William's early albums. Pete hit the drums very hard.
	1:20pm prudy: missed seeing Robyn play because of the pandemic...oh well...
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: "Lump of Steak" was the name of my first....
	1:20pm Hubig Pie: The Stranglers Bring on the Nubiles would fit your curse word music set
	🛒 1:21pm Phillippe: @Franco yeah, I really liked the whole "surprise" vibe of his pics back then, even when they were staged. Kind of added to the spontaneous feel to the whole punk thing when he was capturing that crowd, even though we know better now. Punk rockers and their uniform of individuality...
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: johnk77, this was the concert that John Stewart came over to play. Zigzag was a great fanzine, how would we learn of any thing American then without them. www.rgfrecords.co.uk...
	1:22pm dan: Pink Floyd sounding like The Moody Blues on this track.
	1:23pm AS from MP: Pedro & Uncle Mike: I recall Joe Belock doing a fill-in streaming show somewhere back 4-5 yrs (?) ago where profanity, his and musical, was the entire theme.
	🛒 1:24pm Phillippe: Lucinda Williams' father was the Poet Laureate of the US under Clinton, I think.Or maybe Victoria Williams' father. One of them two. Again, too lazy to google... (actually, trying to avoid google rabbit holes...)
	1:24pm TDK60: Never heard of Zigzag mag, Brian.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: AS!
	🛒 1:27pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, That 'stagey' thing was very important in creating the overall effect. I seem to remember Moshe worked in that crevice between high fashion and punk. Two social groups that really wanted to get in the magazines.
	🛒 1:28pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I love this Clucking song - this kind of tight, fast song. Not quite power pop.
	🛒 1:29pm Franco Twinkie: It was Lucinda.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: 'Interview' aesthetic, Franco.
	🛒 1:30pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, but decidedly west coast.
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Phillippe, yes it was Lucinda. TDK60, it was a priceless form of information. You may have come across the family trees by Pete Frame. rockfamilytrees.co.uk
	1:31pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks, UM!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: See ya Doc! Thanks!
	1:32pm Rich in Washington: Groovy show today, UM! Been listening all morning, doing chores around the hacienda.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Thanks!
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Yaaay! My afternoon appointment just got rescheduled. I am doing the full-Hinky!
	1:37pm dan: The rare stuff is found on Internet Archive.
	🛒 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: Democracy for better or worst.
	1:38pm TDK60: Thanks, Brian. I'd seen a few of those trees. Now, a further connection. Further..
	1:39pm burke: I never give my vault-scraper the proper maintenance
	1:40pm Andres: Elaborate. Please.
	1:40pm Rich in Washington: Oh man! I'm dealing with that too, UM! Especially while trying to do radio! But enough about that... ;)
	1:40pm prudy: first world complaint?
	🛒 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: We all must dwell on this and come to our own conclusions Michael?
	🛒 1:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hmm, what is my favorite chicken song? Maybe Run Chicken Run? Trouble in the Henhouse by NRBQ?
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Franco.
	🛒 1:42pm Phillippe: Lucinda it is.
	🛒 1:43pm Phillippe: Pretty fond of the Popeye's Chicken jingle...
	1:44pm burke: "Chicken Train" by Ozark Mtn Daredevils
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: aww burke wins!
	🛒 1:46pm Phillippe: Yeah, probably less hungry after listening to burke's choice...
	1:46pm Andres: I wouldn’t encourage anyone to say things they might later regret but I do enjoy a good rant. When they’re good they are cathartic and funny.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: I'd only regret spending the time that might better be spent on music.
	🛒 1:49pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, I'll assume this is a metaphor for examining aspect of reality and consciousness, and not that fixture sitting on the bridge of your nose?
	1:49pm Doug Schulkind: Hasil Adkins is my go-to for favorite songs about chickens (or songs chicken-adjacent).
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Franco, if that makes you view me as processing more gravitas than I can actually claim, I shall not dissuade you.
	🛒 1:51pm Franco Twinkie: Hmmm. I have have to think about that.
	1:54pm chresti: Suave
	1:54pm still b/p: I was thinkin', for the people...now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and cumbia. Although, if Chicken Train rolls through here, there'd be some anxiety-dispersing singing goin' on then, too.
	2:01pm barrett785: Chicken Train coming? DINKY CHIX
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Pat!
	2:02pm burke: hooray!
	2:02pm The Oscar: Afternoon! If we're doing chicken songs, I've always been partial to Spike Jones' version of "Holiday for Strings."
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	🛒 2:10pm Phillippe: A record label and an airport...
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: 1973 disco beat.
	2:13pm hunkered oats: TLIL - very different listening experience; this afternoon versus as a seven year old kid in 1973.
	2:13pm johnk77: @brian thanx for the link love the pete frame rock family trees w/foldouts! i have books 1&2 according to this source it was pete thomas who took jake riviera and nick lowe to see clover for the first time! much more great info about this period in alex call's book
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Today's Cubs loss to the Braves about to get underway.
	🛒 2:15pm Phillippe: Orioles fan here, UM. I can relate.
	2:16pm jimbrux: Man I'd forgotten how much I love that song (The love I lost)
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: this is my kind of set...but i have to take off Thanks Uncle M! take care y'all
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Don't get Doug started....
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: chicken mention
	2:17pm Listening Out There: @Uncle: You, Steve Goodman, and the Cubs....
	2:17pm Hubig Pie: I refuse to reveal which bottom dwelling team I root for
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: cya coel!
	🛒 2:17pm Alvy Singer: Earl Young created the heartbeat for disco with his drumming on The Love I Lost.
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: Orioles are so bad they wouldn't let them wear 42 on Jackie Robinson day...
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: later coel!
	2:19pm Doug Schulkind: @Phillippe Oh our lowly Birds. It's been a long slog since '83.
	2:20pm prudy: This Sons of Slum is the bomb...
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: Still, over the past 113 years we've won more World Series than the Cubs.
	🛒 2:22pm Franco Twinkie: My mom gave me The Time Has Come by The Chambers Brothers for Christmas in 1968. Uptown created vivid fantasies in my head of Harlem that were checked and reconsidered when I finally walked the actual streets of Harlem years later. Talk about looking at the world through progressive lenses!
	2:22pm Pedro in Arlington: Bobby "Blue" Bland, one of the five greatest American singers ever. I'll settle on the other four later.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Get back to us, Pedro! I love you, Franco.
	2:24pm Eric Kilkenny: Terrific show today
	🛒 2:24pm Franco Twinkie: I love you too Michael.
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Eric.
	2:26pm johnk77: great work selecter
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: thank you, john
	2:27pm dan: The last surviving Harptone only retired recently after almost 70 years in the business.
	2:28pm melinda: hello everyone!
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: We just celebrated the Lao New Year, I believe.
	2:30pm sinner: Cubs will take at least 2 of 3 from Braves this weekend.
	2:31pm burke: I am the kinda guy to wish people a Happy New Year in April. Thanks UM. It's going in the scrapbook
	2:32pm prudy: Thanks for airing this gem UM...
	2:33pm wenzo llc.: damn I thought this was Bob & Ray for a sec.
	2:33pm Pedro in Arlington: Just tossing these out, UM, and will no doubt change my mind in an hour: Aretha, George Jones, Charley Patton, Bobby "Blue" Bland and Paul Robeson.
	2:33pm prudy: MSG
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: melinda! sinner! wenzo!
	🛒 2:34pm Franco Twinkie: I get mad at the Chinese because they think they can butt in line at the donut shop.
	2:35pm prudy: Franco...good point...
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Where do Candi Staton, Lou Rawls and Ronald Isley go?
	2:35pm Lizardner Dave !: Was that suitable for 2021? Mr Science might have to use the Andy Breckman excuse: 'It's OK, I'm a racist!"
	2:36pm doctorjazz: Been listening in the car, sounding great, UM! Have to head out again after a quick bite, bring my new laptop back to Best Buy, problems already (not getting along in the computer world these days). Thanks, UM!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: There was some Ray, Wenzo!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	2:38pm Lizardner Dave !: Or maybe it's just me....I flinch at any "bit" that mentions any kind of identity. Guess all the HR training my company mandates for everyone has taken hold.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Doc, you're gonna hate missing the closing.
	2:38pm Pedro in Arlington: Top "X" list-making is painful. Probably why Hulu canceled "High Fidelity" as a TV series.
	2:38pm chresti: I get mad at our Chinese neighbors when they chop their trees down.
	2:38pm Pedro in Arlington: But not before WFMU bumper stickers were seen in some episodes.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: This is a great ode to domestic violence. Also retrograde...
	2:40pm KWilde: The faint aroma of performing seals ...
	2:40pm davefromtoronto: sung like someone who's single...
	2:41pm still b/p: The performing seals line always lands as most unlikely and weird but somehow wonderful.
	2:42pm Listening Out There: Waving flippers and barking....
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: It's pretty brilliant.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Great send off!
	🛒 2:44pm Brian in UK: Uncle not being picky but is Look Toward A Dream back to front?
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! The Other One. Bob in a moment of brilliant clarity.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Not gonna miss it!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: yes, thank you BiUK
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: a rare momnt?
	🛒 2:48pm Franco Twinkie: Without any judgment of what came after, I suppose so.
	2:51pm leshwatt: Just checking in. Turn it up!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: are you reddy?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Inside joke. Phil's incognito name is (or at least was) Reddy Kilowatt. I think leshwatt knows this!
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Uncle, freeform as ever.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: thank you for rolling along with me BiUK!
	🛒 2:55pm Brian in UK: Wish I had something to roll along with!!!!

	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Interesting how Phil Lesh supported modern 'classical' musicians like Havergill Brian from over here.
	🛒 2:57pm Franco Twinkie: Perfect timing, the aspirin and Tylenol are just starting to kick in. The show is over and I can leave the house pain free. Thank you Michael.
	2:58pm dan: Another great show UM
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, that's where Phil came from in his own formal training.
	🛒 2:58pm listener 126464: Yes, thanks UM!!!

	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for the company today!
	2:59pm doctorjazz: I think Phil is the most interesting part to listen to (and I love them all)! Kept me company to Best Buy, thanks, till next week!
	2:59pm melinda: I remember the Austin Municipal Auditorium, but I was not yet old enough to see the Dead in 1972. Cool to think about the old days.
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Cheer up, Uncle Michael. The Cubs'll get to play the Pirates again soon.
	3:00pm leshwatt: This is the anniversary of my first Dead show in 78 in Huntington WV Thanks Michael
	3:04pm Stanley: Thanks UM.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Bye all!
