	♥ 11:08am (Mr) Bill: Ray Walston deserved an Oscar for Mr. Hand.
	♥ 11:08am myron feld: I come here specifically for the hillbilly novelty records! And Black Sabbath rockabilly covers, of course.
	11:09am DJ Guin: @Ken ==Did they find her in the ocean with all of the other plastic?
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JamesHand sounds like a Hank descendant...
	11:10am DJ Guin: @HyperDose -- WHAT?!?! shop.apothecarium.com...

	11:14am clarke: back to da musics!!!
	♥ 11:15am Listener Baby: Hi Jack!,
	♥ 11:16am spodiodi: hi Jack!
	11:16am MFlynn: Thank you and howdy Jack!!
	11:16am DJ Guin: @hyperdose -- guess what flightless boid got his 2nd jab this mornin?
	♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Bagpipe is very nonplussed by the disruption of his Saturday over here. I have reassured him that a CD of music all about soup can't help but brighten his mood!
	♥ 11:17am HyperDose: Oh you have the medical card? That was too many hoops for me to jump through at the time. Glad everyone's situation is much better now. And congrats on jab #2! I'll have "immunity" next week.
	♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: Zowie, every Nuevo song I hear (all right here, I think) is just pure Number One!
	11:18am Dennis Diken: you go, Mikey!
	♥ 11:18am listener 126464: Hello Michael, everyone. Hey Jack!
	11:19am DJ Guin: UPDATE: MetLife Stadium no longer requires Appointments....just putting it out there
	11:19am Dennis Diken: Four Evers four ever!!
	11:19am clarke: double-D!! in das haus.
	11:19am gene sculatti: Four Evers (both singles) one of the best underrated groups. Thanx for playing this No. 1 hit, Michael.
	11:20am clarke: what a snare sound, here/hear!!
	11:20am DJ Guin: @Hyper - I have been absent from the comments because of doctor's appts. jabby appts, work, etc. Doctors have given given me a clean bill of health. Still in remission and my diabeetus has been reversed.
	11:20am Dennis Diken: hey clarke, sending good wishes. gene - Buddy Saltzman on Four Evers, gotta be!! hey, great Atomic Cocktail this week!
	11:21am gene sculatti: Thanx, Dennis.
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: massive congrats and vaxgrats, DJG! Hey there, Dennis! OK, break over, back to the wars.
	11:22am clarke: thanks, all!! double-hit on the snare.
	♥ 11:22am Listener Baby: Double D, hey man! Really been enjoying Atlantic Tunnel thanks to you. You rule!
	11:22am paddy in mobilewan: no. 1 all the way
	11:23am Dennis Diken: hello Handy! @Listener Baby - at your service! hey, I'll be in touch soon, re "that other thing." hi Jack!
	♥ 11:24am Listener Baby: That’s a copy,Denny.
	11:25am DJ Guin: @Mayor Handy -- thanks, chief. Oncologist was a bit dumbfounded about the weight loss and normal glucose readings, blood pressure, etc. Yearly visits for here on out. Now all I need is a Monty Hall event to cheer me up.
	♥ 11:26am Michael Shelley: NICE WORK!
	11:26am clarke: hope this gets straightened out DJG!! the team needs ya!
	♥ 11:29am Frank In Queens: Hittin' the post!
	11:29am clarke: i can actually tell there is a paper-towel over the mic.
	11:29am clarke: early MovieTime!! yikes
	♥ 11:30am (Mr) Bill: I have a problem with the frequency with which some persons of a certain age say, "No problem."
	11:30am Moammar: "Mank" = meh
	11:30am clarke: Mank seems to be 'missing something' fer sure
	11:30am DJ Guin: @clarke -- alles gut, dude. remission plus normal blood pressure and glucose was my goal and I nailed it. sure, the cancer is chronic, but i will deal with a relapse if or when it occurs. copious amounts of legal weed does not hurt.
	11:31am clarke: fight the fight!
	♥ 11:31am Montmaster J: I think Nick said at a show we were at that he bought a house with that $$$$
	♥ 11:32am Frank In Queens: I have to head out in a bit, so I'm glad it came early. This week we watched Pickup On South Street and John Carpenter's The Thing.
	11:32am MFlynn: Way to go Nick. Nobody deserves it more.
	11:32am Moammar: "Gavin and Stacy" is fun and sentimental. I learned much about Wales. I also say "What's occurin' " frequently now.
	11:32am DJ Guin: @Moammar -- I watched "Mank" twice -- forgot I had screened it the 1st time. not very memorable. Nomadland was 'meh'. Prefer "Nobody" and a few others.
	♥ 11:32am Montmaster J: Went CVS last week and they offered me the Vax unsolicited. Interesting.
	11:33am clarke: oh wow, frank!! i just 'heard' Widmark's laugh when i read that!!
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: @Frank: The real hero is the J&B! MS says "Little Anthony and the Imperials," but I hear it in Tom Waits's voice.
	11:34am Listener Robert: The development of variants will not be affected adversely by people's remaining unvaccinated. The more people are immune to it, the greater the selection pressure will be for variants to emerge that existing vaccines won't protect well against. So don't conflate those issues.
	11:34am Doug in JC: I’d like to see my mother tomorrow but she refuses to get the vaccine. Still asked if I wanted to join them for dinner at a place that’s safe because “nobody goes there”. Just unbelievable
	11:34am DJ Guin: @Montmaster -- the jerkoffs in Essex County (NJ) emailed me and declared I was not eligible. The gov'mint would screw up a one car funeral procession.
	11:34am clarke: recently re-watched the original Thing - and that was (still) fantasssstic.
	11:34am ledzeppelinsucks: After Covid Restrictions are over in hell Whit Houston and Jimmy Morrison are going to duet 'Splish Splash I Was Taking A Bath` at Buffalo Wild Wings on Karaoke night.
	♥ 11:34am spodiodi: saw a few suspicious looking vaccines on a blanket on a sidewalks sale
	11:35am clarke: i have this single! flipside is great, too!
	♥ 11:35am paddy in matawan: rusty mechanical man today
	11:35am PatrickMC: Listen to the Brainen/Shelley tag team every week. Honestly and respectfully, the vax lecture is a drag. Rock n roll.
	11:35am Dennis Diken: I have "no problem" with Teddy Randazzo!
	11:35am Listener Robert: My friend since 1988 and housemate since 2018 died last Thursday of Covid-19. Too bad the organization that was supposed to arrange his vaccination couldn't, but his diabetes didn't help either.
	♥ 11:35am Goyim in the AM: you were more ethical than Devo, who just straight up swiped and re-wrote this track. (The Devo ripoff is of course also awesome.)
	11:35am phat in Lincoln: Oh lord. This is definitely something. How many "robot" songs are there?
	♥ 11:36am Frank In Queens: @Handy, I think you're right.
	11:36am CalZone!: Interestingly, I was on the toilet during the Teddy Randazzo story! Mechanical Man is wonder!
	♥ 11:36am Montmaster J: @DJ sorry to hear that. I thought it was interesting that the lady at the register just asked me if I wanted it and pointed to the curtain next to the counter.
	11:36am Doug in JC: @DJ Guin Same county that always summons me to jury duty even though I’ve never lived in Essex. Good job
	♥ 11:36am spodiodi: sorry to hear, Listener Robert
	11:36am DJ Guin: @Doug in JC -- my parents and sibs are all gone, but i lost my landlady to the virus March 2020 -- she never stood a chance.
	11:36am clarke: the modern phrase that sorta aggravates me is "sounds good" - mostly because it has nothing to do with sounding good.
	11:36am Moammar: The robot song has a truly tragic ending. I'll be thinking about that all day.
	♥ 11:37am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I have to see the original Thing.
	11:37am clarke: oh man!! talk about terror!!
	♥ 11:38am Eddy in Australia: For a second there I thought Greasy Kid Stuff was back
	♥ 11:38am greg g: Love that Mechanical Man. Not to be confused with a Charles Manson tune of the same name and later covered by Sonic Boom .
	11:38am Doug in JC: @DJ Guin I don’t think she’d do well either. I just don’t get it.
	11:38am clarke: i know i have seen carpenter's remake - jeff bridges??
	11:38am DJ Guin: @Doug - same county that send me mailers from 'councilman' or whoever -- all glossy and fancy schmancy. Pols are making this about themselves and pissing our tax dollars away on propaganda.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: That really sucks, Doug. Sorry, friend.
	♥ 11:39am Vertual: Ok, i'm waiting for Flintstone feet sometime before 1:00. Gotta have it!
	♥ 11:39am (Mr) Bill: @Listener Robert I'm sorry for your loss. This virus is diabolical -- perhaps literally so.
	11:39am clarke: you missed TWO already vertual
	11:40am Doug in JC: Thank you, Handy. I’m glad all my friends are reasonable, at least.
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: @clarke, Kurt Russell.
	♥ 11:40am Vertual: i'll check the archives. Serves me for being late!
	11:41am Listener Robert: Mr. Bill, maybe so -- it infected a great number at my friend's church in Dover (probably where he got it), including the pastor! My friend said, "My church is in crisis."
	11:41am clarke: 'allo Eddy!! all good, mate?? @frank - yes, love russell!!
	11:42am clarke: but, carpenter's Thing is (of course) the lesser one.
	♥ 11:42am Eddy in Australia: The World Famous Clarke! As good as it gets - St Kilda won today. How bout you?
	11:42am Dennis Diken: thanks Mikey - yeah, we cut a cool version of this tune, good ol' Don Fleming helping out t' boot!
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: I'm glad one person has called me reasonable! In your FACE, everyone else I've ever met!
	♥ 11:42am Goyim in the AM: Mother-in-law is an anti-vax/COVID denier, right-wing natural foods subdivision. Her daughter/my wife is upper management at a pharmaceutical compony. Ain't we got fun.
	11:42am DJ Guin: Sad Guin News: my Magical Butter Machine went belly up. Faulty heating element ruined a good batch of Limoncello .
	11:42am Glistener MW: Teenage Fanclub = day-making, anytime. Thanks!
	♥ 11:43am Michael in Montclair: Perfect timing. Right now, I am enjoying my morning coffee from my Teenage Fanclub coffee mug
	11:43am Listener Robert: Heh...tell me about garden centers...I live across the street from one run by in-laws of my landlord. My tree allergies were phenomenal this spring. Only reason I knew I hadn't caught my friend's coronavirus was that sneezing was prominent among my symptoms, so knew it was allergy like last year.
	11:43am Doug in JC: Where the heck did you get a TF mug?
	11:43am clarke: @Eddy: Geaux Saints!! fighting the fight!!
	11:43am DJ Guin: Vote for Handy: He's reasonable.
	11:44am clarke: where ya heading, frank - postal office?? get us some stamps!
	11:44am Doug in JC: Handy: At Least He’s Reasonable
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: My front porch is yellow there is so much pollen on it!
	11:44am ?: That Teenage Fanclub song sounded like NRBQ to me, good thing
	♥ 11:45am Michael in Montclair: @Doug in JC, I bought the mug at the TF show at the Bowery Ballroom back in 2010 when they were on tour promoting their Shadows LP.
	11:45am clarke: that would be pine pollen, MS? a source of much congestion por moi. luckily, not a ton of pine trees in new orleans!
	11:46am Dennis Diken: @Mikey - re Dan Ingram, yes he totally ruled the universe. many airchecks are available out there. thee best!
	11:46am Listener Robert: Now I'm going to have to find someone else to share the house rent with, but having my longtime friend become available for it was luck I could hardly duplicate. My original housemate here in 2016-17 died too: Listener Steve Mason.
	♥ 11:47am Squints: I could see someone taking that exact same arrangement and Searchersing it up.
	11:47am clarke: Spearchucker!!
	11:47am paul: Spearchucker!
	♥ 11:48am Eddy in Australia: Get a new DJ!
	♥ 11:48am Squints: The big time CAN be disorienting.
	11:49am DJ Guin: @clarke -- r u in nola? i am cookin up some etoufee and mixing up Sazeracs for tomorrow.
	11:49am paul: The first time Trapper called him that (on TV), I was shocked.
	♥ 11:49am Squints: I couldn't hold her, for the words that he told her...
	11:50am clarke: i am in nola - the monsoons seem to be over. tis still crawfish season! bon appetit!!
	11:50am Listener Robert: And the friend who originally introduced us and who paired me up with BOTH housemates, Kathy Greene Fucetola, died a few weeks ago. I don't feel that loss as strongly because she'd been pushing people away in the preceding months, but Ralph and she were a couple for 50 years.
	♥ 11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning all! Look how CLEAN the board is—you could eat off it!
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: Maybe I will make us some Vieux Carrés once we can put our apt. back together -- and raise a toast to you and your mom, clarke!
	11:52am Moammar: Ah, Florence. The jewel of the Quad Cities.
	♥ 11:52am Greg from ZONE 5: I saw Nashville for the first time just last weekend. Strange that it took me so long given that I've seen the Long Goodbye like 30 times. Anyways yes, it did not disappoint.
	11:53am clarke: what happened to the apt, HH??
	11:53am Moammar: That's Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia and don't forget Sheffield.
	11:54am TimG: I believe Rick Hall was a member of the Del Rays
	♥ 11:54am Hubig Pie: Mother' s day begins termite season in New Orleenz
	11:54am Dennis Diken: Roger Hawkins is KING!
	11:55am clarke: Hubig - already seent 'em in the streetlights!!
	11:55am DJ Guin: at the risk of sounding square -- do you need a med card to purchase at a dispensary? "legal weed", sure...but what re the guidelines? and is 56USD too much for 3.5 grams?!?
	11:55am pL ok: Pop bebop!!
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Exterminator coming, clarke. We are having some issues.
	♥ 11:56am Hubig Pie: Clarke, close the shutters and turn off the outdoor lights !
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: sorry to hear you're still at war, Handy :-B
	♥ 11:56am Hughie Considine: @Dennis, just went back to Bob Brainen's playlist and I see you are satisfied that another Dennis (Elsas) was the WNEW d.j. who used Vince Guaraldi's "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." Funny how memory is malleable. Magical song in any case.
	11:56am clarke: dangit, sir!! sally forth!!
	♥ 11:57am Squints: Handy, may you have far better luck than EG Marshall with his bug problem.
	11:58am clarke: EG Marshall - love his amps!
	♥ 11:58am spodiodi: sounds about standard price for an 8th of any quality, DJG, but you could pay half on sale or for lesser quality
	♥ 11:59am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Catching up on comments from before I tuned in today so I've only just read the news about your ma - hope she's okay
	♥ 11:59am Squints: The lights on EG Marshall's amps don't twinkle.
	12:00pm DJ Guin: @spodiodi -- my street market costs are about 200-250 per ounce. i buy in bulk and save $ and no taxes. sorry, but we pay enough as it is.
	12:00pm clarke: thanks, mate! her (swollen legs) went sceptic, it was touch-and-go there, but we hope things have calmed.
	♥ 12:01pm Handy Haversack: Hope everyone had a good Bandcamp Friday. I went a little wild since it's not clear (to me at least) when the next one is going to be. We are declaring our prep done as of noon and making brunchtails. Now we play the waiting game.
	12:02pm Dennis Diken: @ Hughie - my memory has it as Dennis Elsas. haven’t found the site where it’s confirmed yet. Perhaps an air check is out there somewhere?
	12:02pm clarke: HH do you have to have the Tent put over your home??
	♥ 12:02pm spodiodi: sounds wise, DJG... we pay tax-tax AND excise tax in sf :-B but the dispensary i like has good deals most times
	♥ 12:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Michael! Handy! Dennis! Spodiodi! Clarke, best wishes for your mom. Robert, sorry for your loss. Heading out for breakfast AT A RESTAURANT.
	12:03pm Dennis Diken: @Mikey - insanely #1 show today! (as per...)
	♥ 12:04pm Handy Haversack: We're in a four-story, eight-unit apt. bldg., clarke -- that would be one big tent! No. The dance continues. Spray one apt., chase pests to another. Rinse. Repeat. Hey, Lizzie! Sounds exotic and wildly exciting!
	12:04pm clarke: thanks SCL!! everybody needs a little....lunch!!
	12:04pm DJ Guin: @spodiodi -- i am looking to explore different strains..bit limited with my reg connection. i had read they collecting 65 USD an ounce in taxes.
	12:04pm Doug in JC: @Dennis I found his email address if you want to ask him directly!
	♥ 12:05pm myron feld: I like pie AND chicken, country-style! Thanks, MS!
	♥ 12:05pm Hughie Considine: @Dennis, it was Jonathan Schwartz.
	♥ 12:05pm HyperDose: @Handy Just got approved for my new place this morning. Snagged that penthouse unit. Party on the balcony!
	♥ 12:05pm myron feld: I wanna know where Doye found a ballpoint fountain pen.
	12:06pm clarke: a ball-point fountain pen - is that an oxymoron?
	12:06pm johnk77: great work selecter at a legal dispensary $50-60 / eighth should be top shelf
	12:06pm DJ Guin: @Handy -- buy your house guests little sombreros and train them to clean and dust.
	12:06pm Doug in JC: @Hyperdose Congratulations! What town?
	♥ 12:06pm luka: @handy i pre-ordered the new Japanese Breakfast and Mountain Movers yesterday.
	♥ 12:07pm HyperDose: @DJ Guin As per your dispensary question, as of now all dispensaries are still under medical rules. Recreational sales won't start for at least 6 months, most shops will be open next year. That's to my knowledge. Dispensaries were a no for me. Lots of mold & quality issues in addition to some places charging $80 for an 8th of shake. Ridiculous.
	12:08pm Cooh John: I request birthday pie!
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Wow, congrats, HyperDose! "Hello, rich people?"! Nice, luka!
	12:09pm DJ Guin: @Handy - I know, right? Hyper must resemble the Monopoly Guy IRL
	♥ 12:09pm HyperDose: @Handy That's exactly what I said in my head when I saw the elevator! haha @Doug Bayonne by 8th street station. It's pretty happenin' :)
	12:10pm clarke: ok - gotta head out - #1~~ all the way. beat ALL pests!!!
	12:11pm Doug in JC: @Hyperdose Nice! My mechanic is down there. The new walkway on the Bayonne Bridge is really nice
	♥ 12:11pm Michael Shelley: Bye Clarke - best wishes to your Mom on Mother's Day!
	♥ 12:11pm Steve from Dunwoody: Broken hands on broken ploughs, Broken treaties, broken vows, Broken pipes, broken tools, People bending broken rules Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking, Everything is broken -- another old guy
	12:12pm clarke: danke
	♥ 12:13pm Handy Haversack: I have never been to Bayonne! The name conjures a lot of romance in my brain for some reason!
	♥ 12:14pm McGroovey: Lloyd Price: I liked the psychedelic interlude. Temptationsy?
	♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: DJG, that sounds steep... just dug out my last receipt... for 75.20 in goods, i paid 10.80 in CA excise tax and 6.39 in regular tax
	12:15pm Doug in JC: Remember when a WnB marathon prize was a weekend in Bayonne? They just found a body behind that motel
	12:15pm MFlynn: Wow!! Is that Gaylord??
	♥ 12:15pm Gaylord Fields: Okay, now I'm outta here — off to shun some pie!
	♥ 12:15pm Squints: Is this Root Boy Slim's brother or cousin or someone?
	♥ 12:15pm Eddy in Australia: Gaylord performing at the Billy Miller tribute concert - surprisingly good!
	♥ 12:15pm HyperDose: Don't worry Handy, I won't let you know how the singles scene is because you can't possibly do any better than K8. Sorry, pal! :p
	12:15pm DJ Guin: Bayonne has changed remarkably in the past 30 odd years. old friend of mine's parents worked at the Brassiere factory before it closed. kinda like South Jersey City, but hipsters like Hyper are moving in.
	♥ 12:15pm greg g: Yes Michael I am tuned in on Sunday nights! Had no idea this existed !! Gaylord Fields what a powerhouse!!! How does one get deputized ??
	12:16pm Dennis Diken: Hi Lizzie! @Hughie - I saw a JS ref to this pressing matter online, you too? @Doug - I’ll contact DE & see what he says!
	12:16pm Cooh John: The interview with Lloyd Price was the only great, it was Rock and Roll history.
	♥ 12:16pm spodiodi: Gaylord FTW!
	12:16pm sean: EL KABONG!!!
	♥ 12:16pm Gaylord Fields: Keep those backhanded compliments coming, folks! :)
	♥ 12:16pm McGroovey: Deputy Dog: whose fault is this, and how can I get a copy???
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GF's program makes me compare him to a cinema director ...hanna barbera wasn't really what I had in mind ! :D
	12:17pm pL ok: I played the sax solo on DEPUTY DOG. IMAGINE my surprise
	12:17pm Dennis Diken: Yes, that Lloyd Price interview is required listening, so uplifting!! I had the great pleasure of playing with the man once, quite a highpoint!!
	♥ 12:17pm Gaylord Fields: I'm ecumenical, Michael, so we used all the keys! (And hiya, Pete!!)
	12:17pm MFlynn: Very disappointed that Delbert has retired.
	♥ 12:17pm Eddy in Australia: @Gaylord I swear mine was a heartfelt compliment!
	♥ 12:18pm Gaylord Fields: Just messing with ya, Eddy! Thanks, mate!
	12:18pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Gaylord, I knew you could sing, but I never dreamed you could sing LIKE THAT! We need Delbarton to reissue that.
	12:19pm johnk77: lloyd price obit in variety https://variety.com/2021/music/news/lloyd-price-dead-mr-personality-1234969166/
	12:19pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - www.nj.com...
	12:19pm Moammar: Delbert's garage band period came after a long apprenticeship in the highly rough clubs on Jacksboro Highway in Fort Worth. The fake Beatles stuff was a strictly commercial move. A good one, but a little detour.
	♥ 12:19pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Euneeda! Have a Delbarton rep contact my people. Or they can just bootleg it, as is more their style.
	12:19pm pL: Great no.1 hit Gaylord!
	12:20pm Andres: Hello! Also a Blowing In The Wind vibe there.
	♥ 12:20pm HyperDose: The only dog I'm concerned with is DogeCoin. First it passes CHILLcoin, now it's coming for Codger Coin!
	12:20pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: But Gaylord, who has the master?
	♥ 12:21pm spodiodi: The Killer <3
	♥ 12:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Euneeda: Tape it off this show. The lowered fidelity could only improve my performance.
	♥ 12:24pm McGroovey: @Gaylord yeah, that's what I'll have to do
	♥ 12:25pm Hughie Considine: @Dennis, yep, I found a couple of references to Jonathan Schwartz. Schwartz makes a lot more sense to me, because I remember the song as from the era when I first started listening to WNEW, in the early 70s. I feel like the song went away, like Jonathan Schwartz did. Meanwhile, Dennis Elsas stuck around.
	12:25pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Gaylord, was that a studio production? What's the B side?
	♥ 12:26pm Mr. Fine Wine: Here to register my sadness about Lloyd Price and reiterate how great Michael's interview with him was.
	♥ 12:26pm greg g: very cool cover here
	12:26pm Moammar: This is a pretty great Express Yourself. Top three, definitely. Loved that Pioneers version of Kiss Him Goodbye the other day as well.
	♥ 12:29pm spodiodi: good saturday to you, Sweet Corn Lizzie!
	♥ 12:30pm HyperDose: @DJ Guin Not bad for the artsy fartsy type who like it draftier in the winter. I can definitely see someone wrapping their homemade mustache beeswax in fair trade fabric there!
	12:31pm johnk77: byron lee was super cool chinese-jamaican artist/producer some of his later gigs he preferred being soundman to front guy
	♥ 12:31pm spodiodi: lol HyperDose
	12:32pm johnk77: michael was that s.o.b.'s?
	♥ 12:33pm Michael Shelley: YES!
	12:33pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - co-worker just resigned and she is moving sight unseen to Morgantown, WV for a new job. it's south of Pittsburgh -- not far from where my parents were spawned and raised in Pennsylvania. i have considered relocating, but i am too chickenshit to startover at this advanced age.
	12:35pm Dennis Diken: @Hughie & @Doug - I just emailed Dennis, if I don’t hear back from him in time today we’ll pick this up next week if he gets back with me!
	12:36pm johnk77: i was then the house soundman byron insisted on bringing in his own mixer and operating it himself i was surprised he was pleasant to work with
	12:36pm Doug in JC: I spent a night in Morgantown on tour years ago. It's a college town so at least there's always something going on. Dennis, thank you for looking in to this!
	12:36pm pL: There was move for a solo break on the Marc Eric
	12:37pm phat in Lincoln: I'll see what I can do to find Marc Eric. What state/city do you think was his last place of residence?
	♥ 12:38pm spodiodi: once The Man hassled me with a speeding ticket in Wheeler, WV (they must love the little piece of i80 that brings in ticket revenue)
	12:39pm johnk77: byron lee introduced the electric bass to jamaica
	♥ 12:39pm spodiodi: Wheeling*, WV (apologies)
	♥ 12:39pm Gaylord Fields: Euneeda, it can be found on a Sam the Sham tribute LP released by Norton Records called Turban Renewal.
	♥ 12:40pm HyperDose: Morgantown looks pretty hip. My old neighbor's daughter is a phlebotomist at the university. Good place to retire
	♥ 12:40pm Hughie Considine: The truth is out there, @Dennis.
	12:42pm pL: This is Joe Jackson
	12:42pm paul: Always that this song was a relative of EC's Miracle Man.
	♥ 12:42pm jillydg: He's the Man!
	♥ 12:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: How did Joe Jackson and Freedy Johnston come to share a (great) bass player?
	12:43pm paul: "thought that"
	♥ 12:44pm Hughie Considine: The first time I heard "Got the Time," I had to know the name of the bass player.
	12:44pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Thank you Gaylord. Oooh! I can't believe I know somebody who recorded on a record album!
	12:45pm pL: Graham Maybe great band
	12:45pm DJ Guin: okay, kids...my 2nd jab is making me sleepy...coffee is not helping...Happy Mudder's Day to you and yours.
	12:46pm johnk77: when joe jackson lived in nyc it was on king street downtown
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: GF, the title of that tribute CD is awesome. I need to hunt that down.
	♥ 12:46pm yerfriendpaul: Willie!!
	♥ 12:46pm HyperDose: Take it easy DJ Guin, you'll feel better in no time. I just drank water like crazy and had a few granola bars handy.
	12:47pm pL: TURBAN RENEWAL SAM the Sham title
	12:48pm Dennis Diken: @Hughie & @Doug, just heard back from Dennis Elsas! He sez: “Very much me. And yes Sounds Orchestral for sure.”
	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Program just what I need in these Turbanulant Times...
	12:48pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - thanks. good advice. mucho congrats on the new digs.
	12:49pm DG: Saw Joe J. a few times (inc. the "Jumpin' Jive" tour at a little club on L.I.) & was once in a elevator with him in midtown somewhere, but he looked too intimidating to speak to. And now supposedly he's moved to Berlin, because he didn't like the "no smoking" rules in NYC(!). I think he's living there with his boyfriend, if you believe Wikipedia.
	♥ 12:49pm Squints: Good. God. Y'all.
	12:50pm Doug in JC: @Dennis Ding ding ding
	12:50pm Joe B: Hey Michael! show sounding great saw Millie Jackson once, opening for Marvin Gaye
	♥ 12:51pm Michael Shelley: good?
	12:51pm Joe B: incredible! the manhattans were on the bill as well
	♥ 12:51pm Hughie Considine: Wow, @Dennis. I mean, I would have sworn to it in court that it was someone other than Dennis E. Thanks for running down this matter of vital importance -- cool to hear back so quick.
	12:53pm Dennis Diken: For anyone wondering, a few of us were listening to Bob Brainen’s show this morning and got to wondering which WNEW-FM DJ used “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” as a closing theme and we just received confirmation from Dennis Elsas that it was indeed him. The Sounds Orchestral version was the one.
	12:53pm Glistener MW: that was Graham Maby on bass in the JJ band! a legend
	12:53pm paul: All Willie and Millie on WFMU today.
	12:53pm johnk77: @dg correct very tall pro-cigarette activist
	12:53pm sean: I saw The Pretenders at the Stony Brook gym in 1981. THEY WERE LOUD!
	12:54pm Glistener MW: ha, I saw the “KISS Farewell Tour” back in 2000. XD
	12:55pm DJ Guin: "I don't tell the minky how to spend his money and he does not tell ME what to play." "Minky?" "Yes, the minky."
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love Loud - but @ 57 ( ! ! ) getting scared about hearing damage - & pain... Yay 'Good Times' ! Great album...
	♥ 12:56pm spodiodi: DJG, my godparents had a dog called Minky because of that :D
	12:56pm DJ Guin: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:57pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	♥ 12:57pm Alicja Uleeshuh: 👈life long Monkees fan here
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Are these bands with drummers behind plexiglass older people similarly worried about their hearing ? First I ever heard about was legendary Jazz Bassist Charlie Haden...

	12:59pm sean: Rock and Roll isn't for people who get A's

	11:19am Dennis Diken: Four Evers four ever!!
	11:19am clarke: double-D!! in das haus.
	11:19am gene sculatti: Four Evers (both singles) one of the best underrated groups. Thanx for playing this No. 1 hit, Michael.
	11:20am clarke: what a snare sound, here/hear!!
	11:20am DJ Guin: @Hyper - I have been absent from the comments because of doctor's appts. jabby appts, work, etc. Doctors have given given me a clean bill of health. Still in remission and my diabeetus has been reversed.
	11:20am Dennis Diken: hey clarke, sending good wishes. gene - Buddy Saltzman on Four Evers, gotta be!! hey, great Atomic Cocktail this week!
	11:21am gene sculatti: Thanx, Dennis.
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: massive congrats and vaxgrats, DJG! Hey there, Dennis! OK, break over, back to the wars.
	11:22am clarke: thanks, all!! double-hit on the snare.
	♥ 11:22am Listener Baby: Double D, hey man! Really been enjoying Atlantic Tunnel thanks to you. You rule!
	11:22am paddy in mobilewan: no. 1 all the way
	11:23am Dennis Diken: hello Handy! @Listener Baby - at your service! hey, I'll be in touch soon, re "that other thing." hi Jack!
	♥ 11:24am Listener Baby: That’s a copy,Denny.
	11:25am DJ Guin: @Mayor Handy -- thanks, chief. Oncologist was a bit dumbfounded about the weight loss and normal glucose readings, blood pressure, etc. Yearly visits for here on out. Now all I need is a Monty Hall event to cheer me up.
	♥ 11:26am Michael Shelley: NICE WORK!
	11:26am clarke: hope this gets straightened out DJG!! the team needs ya!
	♥ 11:29am Frank In Queens: Hittin' the post!
	11:29am clarke: i can actually tell there is a paper-towel over the mic.
	11:29am clarke: early MovieTime!! yikes
	♥ 11:30am (Mr) Bill: I have a problem with the frequency with which some persons of a certain age say, "No problem."
	11:30am Moammar: "Mank" = meh
	11:30am clarke: Mank seems to be 'missing something' fer sure
	11:30am DJ Guin: @clarke -- alles gut, dude. remission plus normal blood pressure and glucose was my goal and I nailed it. sure, the cancer is chronic, but i will deal with a relapse if or when it occurs. copious amounts of legal weed does not hurt.
	11:31am clarke: fight the fight!
	♥ 11:31am Montmaster J: I think Nick said at a show we were at that he bought a house with that $$$$
	♥ 11:32am Frank In Queens: I have to head out in a bit, so I'm glad it came early. This week we watched Pickup On South Street and John Carpenter's The Thing.
	11:32am MFlynn: Way to go Nick. Nobody deserves it more.
	11:32am Moammar: "Gavin and Stacy" is fun and sentimental. I learned much about Wales. I also say "What's occurin' " frequently now.
	11:32am DJ Guin: @Moammar -- I watched "Mank" twice -- forgot I had screened it the 1st time. not very memorable. Nomadland was 'meh'. Prefer "Nobody" and a few others.
	♥ 11:32am Montmaster J: Went CVS last week and they offered me the Vax unsolicited. Interesting.
	11:33am clarke: oh wow, frank!! i just 'heard' Widmark's laugh when i read that!!
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: @Frank: The real hero is the J&B! MS says "Little Anthony and the Imperials," but I hear it in Tom Waits's voice.
	11:34am Listener Robert: The development of variants will not be affected adversely by people's remaining unvaccinated. The more people are immune to it, the greater the selection pressure will be for variants to emerge that existing vaccines won't protect well against. So don't conflate those issues.
	11:34am Doug in JC: I’d like to see my mother tomorrow but she refuses to get the vaccine. Still asked if I wanted to join them for dinner at a place that’s safe because “nobody goes there”. Just unbelievable
	11:34am DJ Guin: @Montmaster -- the jerkoffs in Essex County (NJ) emailed me and declared I was not eligible. The gov'mint would screw up a one car funeral procession.
	11:34am clarke: recently re-watched the original Thing - and that was (still) fantasssstic.
	11:34am ledzeppelinsucks: After Covid Restrictions are over in hell Whit Houston and Jimmy Morrison are going to duet 'Splish Splash I Was Taking A Bath` at Buffalo Wild Wings on Karaoke night.

	♥ 11:35am paddy in matawan: rusty mechanical man today
	11:35am PatrickMC: Listen to the Brainen/Shelley tag team every week. Honestly and respectfully, the vax lecture is a drag. Rock n roll.
	11:35am Dennis Diken: I have "no problem" with Teddy Randazzo!
	11:35am Listener Robert: My friend since 1988 and housemate since 2018 died last Thursday of Covid-19. Too bad the organization that was supposed to arrange his vaccination couldn't, but his diabetes didn't help either.
	♥ 11:35am Goyim in the AM: you were more ethical than Devo, who just straight up swiped and re-wrote this track. (The Devo ripoff is of course also awesome.)
	11:35am phat in Lincoln: Oh lord. This is definitely something. How many "robot" songs are there?
	♥ 11:36am Frank In Queens: @Handy, I think you're right.
	11:36am CalZone!: Interestingly, I was on the toilet during the Teddy Randazzo story! Mechanical Man is wonder!
	♥ 11:36am Montmaster J: @DJ sorry to hear that. I thought it was interesting that the lady at the register just asked me if I wanted it and pointed to the curtain next to the counter.
	11:36am Doug in JC: @DJ Guin Same county that always summons me to jury duty even though I’ve never lived in Essex. Good job
	♥ 11:36am spodiodi: sorry to hear, Listener Robert
	11:36am DJ Guin: @Doug in JC -- my parents and sibs are all gone, but i lost my landlady to the virus March 2020 -- she never stood a chance.
	11:36am clarke: the modern phrase that sorta aggravates me is "sounds good" - mostly because it has nothing to do with sounding good.
	11:36am Moammar: The robot song has a truly tragic ending. I'll be thinking about that all day.
	♥ 11:37am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I have to see the original Thing.
	11:37am clarke: oh man!! talk about terror!!
	♥ 11:38am Eddy in Australia: For a second there I thought Greasy Kid Stuff was back
	♥ 11:38am greg g: Love that Mechanical Man. Not to be confused with a Charles Manson tune of the same name and later covered by Sonic Boom .
	11:38am Doug in JC: @DJ Guin I don’t think she’d do well either. I just don’t get it.
	11:38am clarke: i know i have seen carpenter's remake - jeff bridges??
	11:38am DJ Guin: @Doug - same county that send me mailers from 'councilman' or whoever -- all glossy and fancy schmancy. Pols are making this about themselves and pissing our tax dollars away on propaganda.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: That really sucks, Doug. Sorry, friend.
	♥ 11:39am Vertual: Ok, i'm waiting for Flintstone feet sometime before 1:00. Gotta have it!
	♥ 11:39am (Mr) Bill: @Listener Robert I'm sorry for your loss. This virus is diabolical -- perhaps literally so.
	11:39am clarke: you missed TWO already vertual
	11:40am Doug in JC: Thank you, Handy. I’m glad all my friends are reasonable, at least.
	♥ 11:40am Frank In Queens: @clarke, Kurt Russell.
	♥ 11:40am Vertual: i'll check the archives. Serves me for being late!
	11:41am Listener Robert: Mr. Bill, maybe so -- it infected a great number at my friend's church in Dover (probably where he got it), including the pastor! My friend said, "My church is in crisis."
	11:41am clarke: 'allo Eddy!! all good, mate?? @frank - yes, love russell!!
	11:42am clarke: but, carpenter's Thing is (of course) the lesser one.
	♥ 11:42am Eddy in Australia: The World Famous Clarke! As good as it gets - St Kilda won today. How bout you?
	11:42am Dennis Diken: thanks Mikey - yeah, we cut a cool version of this tune, good ol' Don Fleming helping out t' boot!
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: I'm glad one person has called me reasonable! In your FACE, everyone else I've ever met!
	♥ 11:42am Goyim in the AM: Mother-in-law is an anti-vax/COVID denier, right-wing natural foods subdivision. Her daughter/my wife is upper management at a pharmaceutical compony. Ain't we got fun.
	11:42am DJ Guin: Sad Guin News: my Magical Butter Machine went belly up. Faulty heating element ruined a good batch of Limoncello .
	11:42am Glistener MW: Teenage Fanclub = day-making, anytime. Thanks!
	♥ 11:43am Michael in Montclair: Perfect timing. Right now, I am enjoying my morning coffee from my Teenage Fanclub coffee mug
	11:43am Listener Robert: Heh...tell me about garden centers...I live across the street from one run by in-laws of my landlord. My tree allergies were phenomenal this spring. Only reason I knew I hadn't caught my friend's coronavirus was that sneezing was prominent among my symptoms, so knew it was allergy like last year.
	11:43am Doug in JC: Where the heck did you get a TF mug?
	11:43am clarke: @Eddy: Geaux Saints!! fighting the fight!!
	11:43am DJ Guin: Vote for Handy: He's reasonable.
	11:44am clarke: where ya heading, frank - postal office?? get us some stamps!
	11:44am Doug in JC: Handy: At Least He’s Reasonable
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: My front porch is yellow there is so much pollen on it!
	11:44am ?: That Teenage Fanclub song sounded like NRBQ to me, good thing
	♥ 11:45am Michael in Montclair: @Doug in JC, I bought the mug at the TF show at the Bowery Ballroom back in 2010 when they were on tour promoting their Shadows LP.
	11:45am clarke: that would be pine pollen, MS? a source of much congestion por moi. luckily, not a ton of pine trees in new orleans!
	11:46am Dennis Diken: @Mikey - re Dan Ingram, yes he totally ruled the universe. many airchecks are available out there. thee best!
	11:46am Listener Robert: Now I'm going to have to find someone else to share the house rent with, but having my longtime friend become available for it was luck I could hardly duplicate. My original housemate here in 2016-17 died too: Listener Steve Mason.
	♥ 11:47am Squints: I could see someone taking that exact same arrangement and Searchersing it up.

	11:49am paul: The first time Trapper called him that (on TV), I was shocked.
	♥ 11:49am Squints: I couldn't hold her, for the words that he told her...
	11:50am clarke: i am in nola - the monsoons seem to be over. tis still crawfish season! bon appetit!!
	11:50am Listener Robert: And the friend who originally introduced us and who paired me up with BOTH housemates, Kathy Greene Fucetola, died a few weeks ago. I don't feel that loss as strongly because she'd been pushing people away in the preceding months, but Ralph and she were a couple for 50 years.
	♥ 11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning all! Look how CLEAN the board is—you could eat off it!
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: Maybe I will make us some Vieux Carrés once we can put our apt. back together -- and raise a toast to you and your mom, clarke!
	11:52am Moammar: Ah, Florence. The jewel of the Quad Cities.
	♥ 11:52am Greg from ZONE 5: I saw Nashville for the first time just last weekend. Strange that it took me so long given that I've seen the Long Goodbye like 30 times. Anyways yes, it did not disappoint.
	11:53am clarke: what happened to the apt, HH??
	11:53am Moammar: That's Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia and don't forget Sheffield.
	11:54am TimG: I believe Rick Hall was a member of the Del Rays
	♥ 11:54am Hubig Pie: Mother' s day begins termite season in New Orleenz
	11:54am Dennis Diken: Roger Hawkins is KING!
	11:55am clarke: Hubig - already seent 'em in the streetlights!!
	11:55am DJ Guin: at the risk of sounding square -- do you need a med card to purchase at a dispensary? "legal weed", sure...but what re the guidelines? and is 56USD too much for 3.5 grams?!?
	11:55am pL ok: Pop bebop!!
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Exterminator coming, clarke. We are having some issues.
	♥ 11:56am Hubig Pie: Clarke, close the shutters and turn off the outdoor lights !
	♥ 11:56am spodiodi: sorry to hear you're still at war, Handy :-B
	♥ 11:56am Hughie Considine: @Dennis, just went back to Bob Brainen's playlist and I see you are satisfied that another Dennis (Elsas) was the WNEW d.j. who used Vince Guaraldi's "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." Funny how memory is malleable. Magical song in any case.
	11:56am clarke: dangit, sir!! sally forth!!
	♥ 11:57am Squints: Handy, may you have far better luck than EG Marshall with his bug problem.
	11:58am clarke: EG Marshall - love his amps!
	♥ 11:58am spodiodi: sounds about standard price for an 8th of any quality, DJG, but you could pay half on sale or for lesser quality
	♥ 11:59am Eddy in Australia: @Clarke Catching up on comments from before I tuned in today so I've only just read the news about your ma - hope she's okay
	♥ 11:59am Squints: The lights on EG Marshall's amps don't twinkle.
	12:00pm DJ Guin: @spodiodi -- my street market costs are about 200-250 per ounce. i buy in bulk and save $ and no taxes. sorry, but we pay enough as it is.
	12:00pm clarke: thanks, mate! her (swollen legs) went sceptic, it was touch-and-go there, but we hope things have calmed.
	♥ 12:01pm Handy Haversack: Hope everyone had a good Bandcamp Friday. I went a little wild since it's not clear (to me at least) when the next one is going to be. We are declaring our prep done as of noon and making brunchtails. Now we play the waiting game.
	12:02pm Dennis Diken: @ Hughie - my memory has it as Dennis Elsas. haven’t found the site where it’s confirmed yet. Perhaps an air check is out there somewhere?
	12:02pm clarke: HH do you have to have the Tent put over your home??
	♥ 12:02pm spodiodi: sounds wise, DJG... we pay tax-tax AND excise tax in sf :-B but the dispensary i like has good deals most times

	12:04pm clarke: thanks SCL!! everybody needs a little....lunch!!
	12:04pm DJ Guin: @spodiodi -- i am looking to explore different strains..bit limited with my reg connection. i had read they collecting 65 USD an ounce in taxes.

	♥ 12:05pm myron feld: I wanna know where Doye found a ballpoint fountain pen.
	12:06pm clarke: a ball-point fountain pen - is that an oxymoron?
	12:06pm johnk77: great work selecter at a legal dispensary $50-60 / eighth should be top shelf
	12:06pm DJ Guin: @Handy -- buy your house guests little sombreros and train them to clean and dust.
	12:06pm Doug in JC: @Hyperdose Congratulations! What town?
	♥ 12:06pm luka: @handy i pre-ordered the new Japanese Breakfast and Mountain Movers yesterday.
	♥ 12:07pm HyperDose: @DJ Guin As per your dispensary question, as of now all dispensaries are still under medical rules. Recreational sales won't start for at least 6 months, most shops will be open next year. That's to my knowledge. Dispensaries were a no for me. Lots of mold & quality issues in addition to some places charging $80 for an 8th of shake. Ridiculous.
	12:08pm Cooh John: I request birthday pie!
	♥ 12:08pm Handy Haversack: Wow, congrats, HyperDose! "Hello, rich people?"! Nice, luka!
	12:09pm DJ Guin: @Handy - I know, right? Hyper must resemble the Monopoly Guy IRL

	♥ 12:15pm HyperDose: Don't worry Handy, I won't let you know how the singles scene is because you can't possibly do any better than K8. Sorry, pal! :p
	12:15pm DJ Guin: Bayonne has changed remarkably in the past 30 odd years. old friend of mine's parents worked at the Brassiere factory before it closed. kinda like South Jersey City, but hipsters like Hyper are moving in.
	♥ 12:15pm greg g: Yes Michael I am tuned in on Sunday nights! Had no idea this existed !! Gaylord Fields what a powerhouse!!! How does one get deputized ??
	12:16pm Dennis Diken: Hi Lizzie! @Hughie - I saw a JS ref to this pressing matter online, you too? @Doug - I’ll contact DE & see what he says!
	12:16pm Cooh John: The interview with Lloyd Price was the only great, it was Rock and Roll history.

	12:17pm pL ok: I played the sax solo on DEPUTY DOG. IMAGINE my surprise

	♥ 12:17pm Gaylord Fields: I'm ecumenical, Michael, so we used all the keys! (And hiya, Pete!!)
	12:17pm MFlynn: Very disappointed that Delbert has retired.

	12:18pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Gaylord, I knew you could sing, but I never dreamed you could sing LIKE THAT! We need Delbarton to reissue that.
	12:19pm johnk77: lloyd price obit in variety https://variety.com/2021/music/news/lloyd-price-dead-mr-personality-1234969166/
	12:19pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - www.nj.com...
	12:19pm Moammar: Delbert's garage band period came after a long apprenticeship in the highly rough clubs on Jacksboro Highway in Fort Worth. The fake Beatles stuff was a strictly commercial move. A good one, but a little detour.
	♥ 12:19pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Euneeda! Have a Delbarton rep contact my people. Or they can just bootleg it, as is more their style.
	12:19pm pL: Great no.1 hit Gaylord!
	12:20pm Andres: Hello! Also a Blowing In The Wind vibe there.
	♥ 12:20pm HyperDose: The only dog I'm concerned with is DogeCoin. First it passes CHILLcoin, now it's coming for Codger Coin!

	♥ 12:21pm spodiodi: The Killer <3
	♥ 12:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Euneeda: Tape it off this show. The lowered fidelity could only improve my performance.
	♥ 12:24pm McGroovey: @Gaylord yeah, that's what I'll have to do
	♥ 12:25pm Hughie Considine: @Dennis, yep, I found a couple of references to Jonathan Schwartz. Schwartz makes a lot more sense to me, because I remember the song as from the era when I first started listening to WNEW, in the early 70s. I feel like the song went away, like Jonathan Schwartz did. Meanwhile, Dennis Elsas stuck around.
	12:25pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Gaylord, was that a studio production? What's the B side?
	♥ 12:26pm Mr. Fine Wine: Here to register my sadness about Lloyd Price and reiterate how great Michael's interview with him was.
	♥ 12:26pm greg g: very cool cover here
	12:26pm Moammar: This is a pretty great Express Yourself. Top three, definitely. Loved that Pioneers version of Kiss Him Goodbye the other day as well.
	♥ 12:29pm spodiodi: good saturday to you, Sweet Corn Lizzie!
	♥ 12:30pm HyperDose: @DJ Guin Not bad for the artsy fartsy type who like it draftier in the winter. I can definitely see someone wrapping their homemade mustache beeswax in fair trade fabric there!

	♥ 12:33pm Michael Shelley: YES!
	12:33pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - co-worker just resigned and she is moving sight unseen to Morgantown, WV for a new job. it's south of Pittsburgh -- not far from where my parents were spawned and raised in Pennsylvania. i have considered relocating, but i am too chickenshit to startover at this advanced age.
	12:35pm Dennis Diken: @Hughie & @Doug - I just emailed Dennis, if I don’t hear back from him in time today we’ll pick this up next week if he gets back with me!
	12:36pm johnk77: i was then the house soundman byron insisted on bringing in his own mixer and operating it himself i was surprised he was pleasant to work with
	12:36pm Doug in JC: I spent a night in Morgantown on tour years ago. It's a college town so at least there's always something going on. Dennis, thank you for looking in to this!
	12:36pm pL: There was move for a solo break on the Marc Eric

	♥ 12:39pm Gaylord Fields: Euneeda, it can be found on a Sam the Sham tribute LP released by Norton Records called Turban Renewal.
	♥ 12:40pm HyperDose: Morgantown looks pretty hip. My old neighbor's daughter is a phlebotomist at the university. Good place to retire
	♥ 12:40pm Hughie Considine: The truth is out there, @Dennis.

	12:45pm pL: Graham Maybe great band

	12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Program just what I need in these Turbanulant Times...
	12:48pm DJ Guin: @Hyper - thanks. good advice. mucho congrats on the new digs.
	12:49pm DG: Saw Joe J. a few times (inc. the "Jumpin' Jive" tour at a little club on L.I.) & was once in a elevator with him in midtown somewhere, but he looked too intimidating to speak to. And now supposedly he's moved to Berlin, because he didn't like the "no smoking" rules in NYC(!). I think he's living there with his boyfriend, if you believe Wikipedia.
	♥ 12:49pm Squints: Good. God. Y'all.
	12:50pm Doug in JC: @Dennis Ding ding ding
	12:50pm Joe B: Hey Michael! show sounding great saw Millie Jackson once, opening for Marvin Gaye

	12:51pm Joe B: incredible! the manhattans were on the bill as well
	♥ 12:51pm Hughie Considine: Wow, @Dennis. I mean, I would have sworn to it in court that it was someone other than Dennis E. Thanks for running down this matter of vital importance -- cool to hear back so quick.
	12:53pm Dennis Diken: For anyone wondering, a few of us were listening to Bob Brainen’s show this morning and got to wondering which WNEW-FM DJ used “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” as a closing theme and we just received confirmation from Dennis Elsas that it was indeed him. The Sounds Orchestral version was the one.
	12:53pm Glistener MW: that was Graham Maby on bass in the JJ band! a legend
	12:53pm paul: All Willie and Millie on WFMU today.

	12:54pm Glistener MW: ha, I saw the “KISS Farewell Tour” back in 2000. XD
	12:55pm DJ Guin: "I don't tell the minky how to spend his money and he does not tell ME what to play." "Minky?" "Yes, the minky."
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love Loud - but @ 57 ( ! ! ) getting scared about hearing damage - & pain... Yay 'Good Times' ! Great album...
