	9:02am Handy Haversack: Morning, Joe and all who Yip.
	👻 9:02am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Joe McG and friends! Yippity do dah!
	👻 9:02am Threemoons: Yip Yip!
	9:03am Krys O.: Hello dere!
	9:03am DJ Guin: yip.
	9:03am melinda: I love this song, it brings back good memories
	9:03am PMD: Oh no! I’m going to have this song in my head all day. Either that or drink Coke all day
	👻 9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip! Pepsi, please!
	9:03am listener james from westwood: Things go better with Surface Noise!
	👻 9:03am Webhamster Henry: Hi Yipppppyipyippers. I have a Hillside Singers Songbook that has this and other commercials-turned-pop tunes.
	9:04am HyperDose: Guin 🐧💚
	9:04am TDK60: Morning Joe. See? 1971 was really groovy; proof here.
	9:04am Strandlund: YIP YIP HURRAY!!
	👻 9:04am karlward: This is from the Kendall Jenner ad right?
	👻 9:04am YETI BOB: I drank an R.C. Cola last night (that's all they had at the pizza shop) My wife said "that's the real thing!". I questioned her knowledge of soda advertising jingles...
	9:05am Rick A: Hi Joe and All, I only knew this song as a Coke commercial, of course. However, it makes sense that it was its own song first. A few minutes before I teach my own class, Joe, you have taught me something today, thank you!
	9:05am HyperDose: If Coke is the go-to, Pepsi is "fine", what does that make RC Cola?
	9:05am melinda: Joe you know how to ease us into Monday.
	9:05am Krys O.: Whoa! Having flashbacks to my childhood. Of course it'll be good the way Joe does it.
	👻 9:05am Threemoons: Oh man peak 70's going on. BTW had no ideas this was a Carpenters tune...remember it from Sesame Street.
	9:05am holland oats: i say sing of sad
	9:05am PMD: Another ear worm ! But positive message
	9:06am Asheville Jon: dang Joe, super trip down childhood memory lane this morning!
	9:06am melinda: @Threemoons I remember the Sesame Street performance too. Peak 70s haha
	9:06am Rick A: When I first attended a Mets game in 1988, I was quite surprised that Shea Stadium only offered Royal Crown Cola which was inexplicable though satisfying to me at the time.
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: Hyper: I hadn't had one in so long it was like "They still make this?" But it wasn't bad. (It was cold and did its job of washing down the pizza).
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: And I did sing a little bit of "Me and my RC"
	9:08am B-listener: @ Yeti Bob and a moon pie?
	👻 9:09am Webhamster Henry: ILTTTWTS was absolutely not a song first. "The melody, of course, is "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke" and the setting is one staged for a Coca-Cola television commercial." -- from that aforementioned songbook.
	9:09am Rick A: Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon in the house! One of the great films of the era. Recently, there was a really great documentary about Hal Ashby, made by a young woman. It's well worth seeing.
	9:09am djsheilab: A much-needed dose of sweetness. Morning Joe!
	👻 9:09am DjLorraine: I'm gonna yip out. Yip yip
	9:09am melinda: @Rick A do you remember the name? I'd love to see that
	👻 9:09am Threemoons: Gotta hop into the shower--tight schedule; got to get a pre-procedure COVID test before getting up bright and early Saturday AM for a 7 AM medical procedure (standard test). Back once I am cleansed and caffinated.
	9:10am Krys O.: Thanks for the tip, Rick A. I really like Ashby's work. Made in Heaven, for example, is a nice little film.
	9:10am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG: Sing me an old song about singing, Joe.
	9:10am Rick A: Damn, I'm bummed to turn this off to work now though I will look forward to the rest of this set on the archive.
	9:10am Krys O.: Good luck, 3moons!
	👻 9:10am YETI BOB: B-listener: I've never had a moon pie. Looks like an awful lot of sugar.
	9:10am HyperDose: @YB Glad to hear it's still around. I've had it a few times. Carbonation isn't harsh and actually enjoyed the mellow, "cheaper" flavor.
	👻 9:10am Threemoons: Thx!
	9:10am Rick A: Melinda, it's called simply Hal. It cam out in 2018.
	9:11am Son Of Pantz: Huh. I thought RC Cola was only a Southern thing. Grandma would always buy me an RC and a Moon Pie when we went to the grocery together.
	9:11am melinda: thx Rick
	9:11am βrian: Thunder, lightning, and rain, rain, rain. Good morning.
	9:11am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone! I hope you're having a super positive happy morning full of singing and happy music!
	9:11am PaulRobeson1920: Hello all! Hii DJ Joe!
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Looking at the history of RC Cola - it came out in 1905, because Coca-Cola syrup was too expensive. It's always been a cheap alternative. And apparently Nancy Sinatra made a few commercials for RC, I'll have to seek those out.
	9:12am John in Phoenixville: Thanks for the positive energy, Joe!
	9:12am Quinn: First day of school after 18 months. Nothing like the familiar sound of yip yip yip to know I’m late dropping my kid off.
	👻 9:13am Webhamster Henry: The Hillside Singers was made out of producer Al Ham's family, the Shaw brothers, the Marino family, and a few additions. Al used some of these groups for other commercials he produced.
	9:13am dale: mr. pibb or wink man, myself. vernors when i'm feeling randy.
	👻 9:13am Webhamster Henry: There's nothin' like WFMUsic.
	9:14am TDK60: Music is okay. I suppose I could believe in it.
	9:15am Krys O.: You're really pulling out the oldies, Joe.
	9:15am melinda: I remember Mr. Pibb
	9:15am Krys O.: More familiar with the B.J. Thomas version of this.
	9:16am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Nice first set so far Joe, thank you
	👻 9:16am YETI BOB: The Nancy Sinatra RC Cola ads are easy to find on YouTube but I don't want to interrupt this show. Check 'em out later, they look pretty wild.
	9:16am dale: remember the kenny rogers quick pickin' easy strummin' guitar course commercial?
	9:16am Krys O.: Duh, how could I forget Mac Davis. I used to watch his TV show.
	9:17am Joe McG: I know that I believe in music. I mean, I'm at WFMU!
	👻 9:20am Webhamster Henry: Can the Cowsills be far behind?
	9:20am listener Rey: Hi Joe and surface Noisers. I'm a big believer in music, a zealot, actually
	9:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, I wish I was as positive as this music.
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Up with People! again! Second time in recent memory!
	9:21am HyperDose: @melinda There used to be a place at Newark airport that had Mr. Pibb. Wonder if it's still there. Has anyone been brave enough to try Moxie?
	👻 9:21am YETI BOB: "Up With People" came through my middle school sometime in the 70s. Man, we were a bunch of cynical kids, even at that age. We satirized the whole thing.
	9:21am Krys O.: Wasn't Glenn Close part of this cult?
	9:22am TDK60: The Up with People! folks were out back before the show, puffin' on a joint, listening to Jefferson Airplane on one those newfangled cassettes.
	👻 9:22am karlward: I saw Dan Bern at Turning Point in Piermont on Saturday--incredible show! But also I can't remember the last time I was at a show where the audience seemed to know all the words. Everyone was singing along in every song. Magical.
	9:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hyperdose: Yes! When we were kids we thought it was the nastiest stuff ever....but I grew to appreciate it.
	9:23am Strandlund: This show always puts a smile on my face...
	9:23am listener Rey: @HyperDose I've not had Moxie, but tried Jolt cola once. It's got all the caffeine and all the sugar. Sweet and syrupy
	9:23am Joe McG: I'm kinda hoping that all of you can't get this song out of your head for the rest of the day!
	👻 9:23am Marley P. Dogg: Hooray for everything! Thanks for this uplifting set Joe!
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oof ! New long Schedule ! Hey - she found the key by the end.
	👻 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Under 11 hours until Dan Bodah delivers the antidote tonight. Haha!
	9:24am CHAD PEARSON: Feeling the Joe McG love today!
	9:24am βrian: There used to be a divey diner on US 127 that advertised RC Cola. Greasy cheeseburgers. We kids thought it was the best.
	9:24am Listener Scott: Smooth crowd work from the Up With People people.
	9:24am prudy: actually Joe that may work....OY!
	9:24am Niko, Copenhagen: Ha ha ha. What an insane atmosphere!
	9:24am Son Of Pantz: You sadistic SOB, Joe.
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah but what does Micah say about these people...
	9:25am John in Phoenixville: They picked the wrong people to put on mic to sing along! 😁
	9:25am prudy: rev rabbit...exactly....
	9:25am Niko, Copenhagen: This is a pretty annoying song! Thanks Joe!!
	9:25am DJ Guin: attended school with a sanctimonious classmate that sang backup on this gem: www.discogs.com...
	9:25am BillyLundun: Up with everything!
	9:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think these folks played before TheOrangeOne(tm) addressed the moonies this past weekend.
	9:25am TDK60: C'mon Son of Pantz, let's all sway!
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: OMG, "Up With People!" is still at it. Since 1965.
	👻 9:25am pgalub: Morning Joe and everyone. Wow this is making my skin crawl- in the best possible way of course! ;) Does Irwin know about this recording?
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I actually almost even been in bands - & nobody's stuck a microphone under my nose yet...
	9:26am Strandlund: Wasn't their arch enemy "Up Yours People"
	9:26am BillyLundun: bass player is having a blast
	9:26am Joe McG: You're welcome, Niko! :)
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: having flashbacks to that overcrowded, airless middle school auditorium
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bootsy on bass.
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Up Your Nose People
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Music about music. Not an easy discipline...
	9:27am Listener Scott: Love how they teased the end and then launched into a reprise. Luckily my root canal later today will drive that cloying melody out.
	9:27am Ike-O: peace and greetings from kcmo everyone!
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Maybe Joe has Abba and James Taylor up his sleeve...
	9:28am DJ Guin: @Niko - did you forget this one? www.youtube.com...
	9:28am Kpx: Helloey Joey McGaskoey
	9:29am Joe McG: @Guin: It was a tough decision on that song (I have the Mac version), but I decided to go with Kenny. @Scott: Ha ha!
	9:30am Niko, Copenhagen: @DJ Guin: Ha ha - trying to forget... But hard - now that it is coming from all sides...
	9:30am fredrik: Didn’t realize how much I needed cheering up this morning… but this set sure took care of that!!
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Presumably that Carpetners I missed is that song SesameStreet used...
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...carpetnerds...
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: RR: Indeed. "Canta una Canción"
	9:31am Listener Scott: Hopefully Free to Be You and Me leads off the second set.
	9:32am JT: hi joe. aural booster shot
	9:32am Niko, Copenhagen: There is a fantastic Danish song in this genre. Completely over the top: "Musical Friends". From the album: "Live while you do it" (sic!) - - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jholcdpaDpQ
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Listener Scott: All that propaganda I absorbed as a kid, telling me (and everyone) how "special" I was - I wonder sometimes if this is actually healthy?
	9:33am melinda: @Listener Scott yes!
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): They exist...and they're not to be trusted.
	9:34am TDK60: I'm starting to really like this music stuff, Joe.
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. No embedded memory for any of these oldies over here.
	9:34am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, hi all
	9:35am TDK60: Brian! You lucky limeys don't know about Up with Persons?
	👻 9:35am Ken From Hyde Park: Here's a music trivia question, true or false: Did Up With People appear in a Super Bowl hafltime program?
	9:35am HyperDose: Like a cherry coke with a lot more flavor, or is it really like cough syrup, WoodsOfNH? @listener Rey I had Jolt once and I haven't remembered much since. Remember Surge, the ever so slightly tolerable Mountain Dew? haha
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: TRUE
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: TDK60, not an inkling.
	9:35am βrian: @YETI BOB: That makes me wonder if we should sometimes just say "meh" when Little Human proclaims some achievement.
	9:36am B-listener: Menomena song. And everyone has to sing along with their head upside down so their chin looks like a nose. Or was that just my family
	9:37am TDK60: Brian, they were a sort of Nixonian era cultural attempt to keep folks from listening to Dylan or Blue Cheer or...
	9:37am Kpx: RRN63@9:26 - you didn't finish it, allow me. Up your nose with a rubber hose people!. Can you dig it, I knew that you could.
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: Twice as far with a lit cigar!
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: If Tompkins Square do a tribute then you must be good; which they did in Michael Chapman's case.
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: TDK60, how bizarre.
	9:40am Jeff Golick: I'm kind of low-key obsessed with this Spanish Model record.
	👻 9:40am yerfriendpaul: Hey Joe! Hey everyone! Slow moving for me today. Can't get jump started. Elvis and Nina helps!
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jolt⚡️! 'all the sugar & twice the caffeine'...
	👻 9:41am YETI BOB: Up with People formed in 1965, spun off a religious group called "Moral Rearmament", I guess they were trying to be more accessible. They tour schools and stuff. And they have a camp where they indoctrinate new members. I think it's sort of a cult. Amazed to read they are still around.
	9:42am Joe McG: @Jeff: It's such an odd idea, but oddly compelling!
	9:42am melinda: sad news about Michael Chapman
	9:43am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Ooh, I hope they put Pump It Up on this album
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): A dude at my office had a bottle of some caffeinated water called Krank20. We made coffee with it. Not a good idea. At all.
	9:44am Officer Pupp: WOW THIS IS GREAT
	9:45am Mark Hurst: Yeah Joe!
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: This reissue of "Segundo" is fantastic, comes with a nice booklet with the history of the album. Highly recommended.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there was some corporate concoction something like Jolt we got a case of samples of @ a CD store I worked @ (? - right ?!) - had a black panther on the bottle ...quite frankly - that panther slid off with a few of my teeth...
	9:46am Little Danny: Man this Juana Molina album is SO GOOD, can't believe it's 20+ years old
	👻 9:47am YETI BOB: RevRab: Was it "Josta"?
	9:48am Joe McG: Hey Mark! Hey, Sheila (very late!)! Hey Little Danny!
	9:49am Kpx: Woods: because of the taste, or the effect that it had on you.
	9:52am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hello, Joe and folx. Enjoying the mood already
	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Kpx: the latter. Toooooo much caffeine.
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: It was indeed...
	9:53am Listener Scott: Went down a Hillside Singers rabbit hole; I never knew that 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing' was originally an entirely different song called 'True Love and Apple Pie' -- identical melody. Performed here www.youtube.com...
	9:53am Little Danny: Hi Baba! You west coasters get up bracingly early.
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' Josta was a soft drink brand that was produced by PepsiCo and the first energy drink ever introduced by a major US beverage company. It was marketed as a "high-energy drink" with guaraná and caffeine '...
	9:54am JT: liquid meth
	9:54am Joe McG: @Scott: Thanks for the info, I didn't know that, either!
	9:55am Barbara in PA: Now that is a guitar solo
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Meth @ least doesn't have sugar & phosphoric acid...
	9:55am Phillippe: Good morning
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Ha, right, Barbara? Had to click back over and see what was going on! Hey, Phillippe!
	9:56am Kpx: Woods: I imagine you being all fidgety like the character tweek from South Park
	9:56am Phillippe: Hey Handy, how are ya?
	9:57am Franco Twinkie: I worked on some very early Japanese energy drink commercials. To me, they tasted like licking an ashtray.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Kpx: Exactly! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Hello Handy, looks like Wednesday is go for the swim.
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Eh, OK, Phillippe, Digging out at work after a week away. And I was going to go back to the actual office today, but we were maybe exposed on Thu. so am waiting to get tested today. Testing van hadn't shown up yet at 9 when I checked. Great, Brian! Super exciting!
	10:00am Barbara in PA: Hi Handy, I'm coming to New York! first time in an aeon
	10:01am dano59: A few more “Sing”-related trax for future consideration, @JoeMcG -“I Can Hear Music”; “I Hear a Symphony” (Stevie W. or Supremes), Glen Campbell’s 2008 cover of Travis’s “Sing” and “What Light” by Wilco
	10:03am Joe McG: @dano59: Always appreciate suggestions!
	10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay ! Heron Oblivion
	10:03am HyperDose: Morning Handy, Phillippe, MxBB, & LD! Nice to see you "around the neighborhood". :)
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Wow, Barbara, that's very exciting! We'll keep Greenpoint open for you! Hey, HyperDose! And what Rev Rab said! What a great set, Joe. Gonna take it outside.
	10:06am Phillippe: double ugh there, Handy (except for the vacation -- good on that!) Hey hyperdose!
	10:07am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Meg Baird is in Heron Oblivion. Loved her vocals when she was in Espers
	10:09am TDK60: Kevin/UK: Meg Baird, yeah. Dig her in various settings. ║ Franco, you really licked an ashtray once?
	👻 10:09am YETI BOB: Kevin - she has some really good solo albums too, and one she made with her sister Laura
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Good call, YB. That album is great.
	10:11am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: YB, that sounds like it would be my kind of thing. Will go and have a search
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that guy's name is John Jacob Niles ...let's see how long I remember it...
	10:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Little Danny: I would love to be a sleeper inner an the next life! Hey there, HyperDose! just hanging out on the chat board porch, here.
	10:13am TDK60: Handy, Yeti: one of the songs I attempt to actually sing at open mikes (when pandemics are dormant) is a Baird Sisters tune.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the squeaky drum is a Cuíca ...for no other reason than I can never remember that either...
	👻 10:14am YETI BOB: TDK60: Nice
	10:16am bk845: Man, I feel like I'm a Kindergartner back in the 1970s again. Nice relaxing sets today Joe:).
	10:16am Joe McG: @bk: Sometimes it's nice to regress a little in order to move forward!
	10:16am Kpx: Handy: you mean you were possibly exposed again to covid or its latest strain. Dang man! Do you ever feel like this virus is specifically targeting you, and don't you feel a little cheesed about The vaccine because it's not protecting you like it should? Well here's hoping that your test turns out negative.
	10:16am Handy Haversack: Here's to dormancy, TDK60. Morning, Mx. Baba Bee!
	10:19am Franco Twinkie: Oh man! I saw Ruthann Friedman singing at a bookstore in Pasadena. In between songs she hinted at having a thing with Neil Young when he was in The Buffalo Springfield.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Franco: I interviewed her on this show years ago. Such a nice and interesting lady!
	10:20am Franco Twinkie: TDK, I've licked all kind of things that maybe I shouldn't have.
	10:20am TDK60: RevRab63,: I don't see how you could forget John Jacob Niles' name, after hearing him. (If you did.)
	10:22am Tinley Park Randy: My wedding first dance 10/19/1991
	10:22am Andres: Dear this song, You’re the best thing. Sincerely, Me.
	10:22am Joe McG: @Randy: Now, that's a fine choice!
	10:23am Joe McG: @Andres: Ha ha! One of his best for sure.
	10:24am HyperDose: I'm feeling things. Warm fuzzy things. 😌
	10:24am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Woking's finest, Mr P Weller. Can't think of anything else about Woking which stands out to be honest.
	10:24am Tinley Park Randy: @Joe Thanks. It’s been our song since it came out I 1984. Still have the 45.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: I am alerted.
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: Oh - I remember him - but names be another matter...
	10:29am PaulRobeson1920: @Kpx @10:16 Good mornninngggg “Some things are within our control, and some things are not.”
	10:29am Jason from Houston: wfmu.org...
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Handy ...you ever feel damn glad you got the vaccine & don't die from exposure to new & improved Covid that's incubated in the anti-makers & anti-vaxxers, that are therefore more vaccine resistant ? Just - yerknow - incidentally... Time for Boosters...
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *anti-maSkers
	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: Ooo thank you @Jason From Houston! <3
	10:31am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:31am Handy Haversack: I do, Rev Rab! Ready for booster stage 1!
	👻 10:32am YETI BOB: Juana Molina "Segundo" LP has a nice illustrated book, and one previously unreleased track, IIRC
	10:32am TDK60: Handy, do you ever feel glad you got a viurus vaccine that may have helped you and partner get through an infection of the virus?
	10:34am Andrew_in_WI: This weekend I saw the rapper Coolio perform in central Wisconsin! In a town of 1500!! At a bowling alley!!! As he performed the last song of the evening I was saddened by the fact that Stevie Wonder would never see a single royalty check for "Gangsta's Paradise."
	10:34am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey, Handy! Hope you and yours are well today. I'm rushing around a bit, trying to get my partner to the ferry on time!
	10:35am Joe McG: Hey, this isn't the Box Tops!!
	10:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): and, Franco, I was refraining from commenting on your licking habits, but … you're in good company…
	10:36am Handy Haversack: I do, TDK60! I am glad everyone's so interested in my opinions today. It's good evidence for when I'm trying to convince the dog to listen to my crackpot theories! We all joined SMKen in mourning that the pandemic canceled the Yokohama Licking Festival.
	10:37am Andres: Is there a sound more distinct than that of the 80's? Nice!
	10:37am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Note to Handy's dog: just smile and wag
	10:37am TDK60: Hi Baba B., dashing to a ferry.
	10:38am Son Of Pantz: "Top that!"
	10:38am HyperDose: Weren't kids running around licking ice cream containers in stores a year before the pandemic? Makes you think...
	10:38am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: at least I HOPE the ferries are running today. There was a sorta strike on Saturday.
	10:39am Kpx: And a good mornninnggg to you too PaulRobeson1920. Tell me about it, but it just seems like the tighter grip they try to get on this pandemic the worse it gets!
	10:41am Miss G: Dancing on a Monday morning! Thank you Joe!
	10:41am eyzee: hello <3
	10:41am Joe McG: @MissG: Doin' the stroll, I hope!
	10:42am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I've never done The Stroll.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Mx Baba Bee: www.youtube.com...
	10:44am Miss G: I was doing my best attempt at The Stroll! I had to turn the headphones off, I hope I didn't wake my young neighbor. Oh well, The Stroll is better to wake to than (I see from the playlist) Up With People (I also saw them in jr high)
	10:46am StringOFperils: I'd stroll in my cowboy boots but I don't have pain-cancelling headphones.
	10:47am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Joe: ah, thanks! I think I learned all of my dances as a child from watching Dance Fever, Solid Gold and the movie "Grease"
	10:47am BillD: Did you sneak into my collection for the Chris Hodge 45😄?
	10:48am Mike Sin: OK -- who here has the picture sleeve that goes along with the Chris Hodge single?
	10:48am Franco Twinkie: I got some cowboy boots in junior high school. It DID NOT improve my social standing.
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crenshaw about the best there is @ this here.
	10:49am StringOFperils: Cowboy boots improve your social sitting.
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if you got steeltoes - other people's opinions matter notably less...
	10:50am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I see that there are many ways to personalize one's Stroll. Some of these kids have style!
	10:50am Kpx: This Marshall Crenshaw is hitting the spot right now Joe, it's helping me to relax a bit. Thanks
	👻 10:50am pgalub: Ooh. Perfect pop song alert. 🎶
	10:50am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: what have you ever done that improved your social standing?
	10:51am Roberto: Marshall Crenshaw is like auditory aromatherapy.
	10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...my next heavy concept album: Franco Twinkie's Social Standing
	10:53am Franco Twinkie: Well Baba, Starting with holding my nose high in the air and working downward...
	10:53am Joe McG: @pg: Agree! I also really like that cover version by Marti Jones. Or was it Sam Philips? Syd Straw? Now I can't remember.
	10:53am Miss G: & Jane Birkin is helping me to recapture my morning cheerfulness after the plunge of two horrific pandemic news articles (thus turning on the radio)
	👻 10:54am chresti: Bone jour Joe and Co! Coming in loud and clear @ Griffith Park! MX BABA BEEKINS!
	👻 10:54am pgalub: @Joe Marti Jones. Yeah, good stuff.
	10:54am Jeff Golick: A pop high point.
	10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): CHRESTIKINS!!!! the day begins! and now I'm off to the ferry!
	10:55am TDK60: Franco, you needed to live in San Antonio. When I was there in '85 all the punx had cowboy boots on. But I don't think you were still in school in '85. Never mind.
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Never turn off the radio!
	10:55am Listener Alexandra: Wow...you really are playing Madonna, Joe. I thought I was still sleeping for a moment :)
	10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): PS: Nthe first time I heard this I had never heard of Madonna and I thought this was The Belle Stars
	10:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Pete! I feel relieved that my first instinct was right. @Alex: My favorite is "Borderline" but I like this one a lot. The cowbell!
	10:56am Son Of Pantz: Izod, popped collar. Jams and K-Swiss, unlaced. Oh yeaaah!
	10:56am DJ Guin: Madonner at the STD Awards Last Night.. metro.co.uk...
	10:56am StringOFperils: I think you can line-dance to this record
	10:56am Spardocus: Feel like I'm the backseat of my mom's 1985 honda civic, bopping on the way to Jamesway
	10:56am Therese: Holiday! Celebrate! Joe McGasko!
	10:56am Listener Alexandra: Mine is "Live to Tell". Decent movie, too.
	10:57am HyperDose: @DJ Guin I think that's Post Office Malone
	10:57am Miss G: StringOFperils, this song reminds me of roller disco (was sorry I never went to Roxy, not even once. . .)
	10:57am Joe McG: Therese! Hi!
	10:57am Strandlund: "Free Madonna!!"
	10:58am StringOFperils: Perfect pop record and art-object, all in one.
	👻 10:58am Threemoons: BOWIE!!!!!!!!! The level of eclecticism in today's set is almost like a continuation of Wake! Good thing I'm wearing my Wake Gremlin T-shirt!
	10:59am Asheville Jon: i'm happy, hope you're happy too. :) this is such a fine Bowie album
	👻 10:59am yerfriendpaul: Ashes to Ashes!! I'm Happy - Hope you're happy too!
	👻 10:59am Threemoons: And yes, Scary Monsters is a freaking MASTERPIECE.
	10:59am Franco Twinkie: TDK those cowboy boots that I got when I was in junior high were dusted off when punk started about seven years later. With my black Levis tucked inside, I was finally right on time.
	👻 11:00am pgalub: When the stoic chorus repeats "I've never done good things... I've never done bad things...WHOA."= 🔥
	11:00am prudy: love all of Scary Monsters...
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anniversary of Scary Monsters album yesterday. Boowie's last great one - til maybe his last ? ?
	11:00am Joe McG: @SOP: Agree! Magical music making, sounds great in the studio on 45!
	11:00am DJ Guin: i've never did anything out of the blue. (whoa)
	👻 11:01am Threemoons: @RR I LOVE Let's Dance also. It was such an era piece...peak stadium 80's.
	11:01am Krys O.: Heathen is an excellent Bowie album, IMO.
	11:01am Rick A: I got a message from The Action Man who I feel is both everywhere and nowhere.
	👻 11:01am Threemoons: And Blackstar is a masterpiece. Perfect swan song.
	11:01am Bon Boudica: Always interject "sordid details following" whenever I see fit
	11:01am DJ Guin: BLACKSTAR is his last masterpiece.
	👻 11:01am yerfriendpaul: The video is perfect too. Totally freaky
	11:01am Son Of Pantz: This song always reminds me of the Night Flight staple called "Ricochet". A strange sort of doc about a Japanese kid trying to save up to see Bowie when he comes to town. Anyone else remember that?
	11:01am TDK60: RevRab: I do like the David B. 'Earthling' album, '97.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Excellent. Yeah, talk to me. I kinda lost the Boowie thread after 1980 honestly.
	👻 11:02am Threemoons: Everyone keeps going on about Heathen, but I haven't really been able to listen to anything Bowie did after the disappointment of Glass Spiders and (shudder) Tin Machine. I may give Heathen a re-listen.
	11:02am Krys O.: I second the Earthling recommendation.
	👻 11:03am chresti: I met Franco in '83, never saw him wearing cowboy boots.
	11:03am annie: lurking, listening, liking
	11:03am Andrew Hollywood: That was a pretty good set. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
	👻 11:03am yerfriendpaul: I'm a fan of his Let's Dance stuff too. The hits are great tunes. I love Blue Jean too
	👻 11:03am Threemoons: Oh, OK, I guess I'll listen to Earthling also.
	11:03am TDK60: chresti, (Hi.) That was because punk was a bit old by '83 and Franco was trying to get the New Romantic look down.. [?]
	👻 11:04am Threemoons: If I had to pick ONE Bowie album I would take the Berlin trilogy...if I really had to pick ONE I'd have to flip a coin between Low and Heroes.
	11:04am Krys O.: Black Tie/White Noise had Lester Bowie collaborating with David Bowie.
	👻 11:05am Threemoons: Hey @JoeMcG: For another Single File: "Pretty Pink Rose" collab between Adrian Belew and Bowie! Also peak 80's fun.
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Scary Monsters wigkey notes that the Berlin Trilogy influenced entire swaths of Music - but didn't Chart as much...
	👻 11:06am pgalub: "Jump They Say" is a pretty great Bowie tune/single as well.
	11:06am joe mulligan: Yes, that video of ashes to ashes was wild and a little scary too! also I just realized that major tom was not a junkie for drugs but a thrill junkie for the heavens. of course that's easier to see with all these billionaire space tourists
	11:07am TDK60: Joe: Millionaire Astronauts was the name of my first high school band..
	👻 11:07am Threemoons: Gotta give Bowie credit for REALLY working the MTV era; ALL of his videos are gold. All of them. And I remember the long form Blue Jeans vid fondly....
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The only Bowie record that ever resonated with me was Blackstar. Yeah, I know....
	11:07am StringOFperils: With Blackstar, Bowie made a theatrical exit that was even more grand than Ziggy's; making art for the masses out of your own death TWICE!
	11:08am Krys O.: @3moons: I rewatched Blue Jean in full length recently. He was such a good actor too.
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ScaryMonsters videos helped makes endless hours of MTV less of a Wasteland. SoP - minblowing actually.
	👻 11:09am chresti: I think he was wearing engineer/work boots, TDK60
	👻 11:10am Threemoons: I remember when I first saw the Blackstar video and was immediately shocked. it was obvious that he was dying; my guess was cancer and I was right. So many clues in the video--Major Tom dead; beautiful young aliens finding his jeweled skull in his helmet and dancing around it....
	11:10am joe mulligan: @TDK, groundbreaking, pun intended!
	👻 11:11am Threemoons: And that line "I am the I Am" - David KNEW he was dying but also knew he was an absolute legend and that his music would live on; kids would see him as this odd alien and celebrate him....
	11:11am TDK60: Chresti, maybe Franco wasn't so into the New Romantics? Maybe more an '80s hair metal guy?
	11:11am SeanG: Bowie's album OUTSIDE is a fuckin masterpiece
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: I still have those cowboy boots AND the engineer boots!
	👻 11:13am Threemoons: @KrysO and let's not forget his role in Absolute Beginners! Again, such peak 80's! I mean, I remember seeing that movie with my then-boyfriend; I had a Pat Benetar haircut and was wearing my military style jumpsuit from Bamberger's; he had on a cotton Miami Vice white rumpled suit, and afterwards we had gelato -- the new hotness -- at a place a few doors down from the movie theater that had a ton of new neon lighting and mirrors--more peak 80s!!
	11:13am Mark in Toronto: Errol Sober does not appear to be Jon (John) Ab(d)nor Jr. He moved on to Bell and Capitol with a number of singles and released an album on Capitol
	11:14am prudy: Joe, thanks for doing this tribute to Chapman...
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: But seriously TDK, judging by your picture, I'm sure you rocked 'the look' back in the day.
	👻 11:14am Threemoons: And yeah, I need to get back to work; I could sing the praises of Bowie all day! :D
	11:15am Joe McG: @Mark: Thanks for investigating, Mark! @prudy: I really couldn't pass up the opportunity to celebrate his music.
	11:16am Franco Twinkie: This is awesome!
	11:16am prudy: Joe...He was really an underecognized gem!
	11:18am Joe McG: @prudy: I couldn't agree more. Late in his life, more people paid attention, so I'm happy he had that late-career renaissance.
	11:19am TDK60: Franco, I was out of step, sartorially speaking, in 83. But the new wavers still invited me to their late night after partees!
	11:20am Franco Twinkie: There you go! It was all about getting invited to parties anyway.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was reading Chapman said he wasn't rooted in Folk @ all - but those clubs were the only place Acoustic made any sense. Certain aspects of his voice make me think slightly of RoyHarper...
	11:24am Joe McG: @RR63: Yeah, you can hear a lot of blues in his music, esp. here! I think he and Roy Harper are kin, I agree.
	11:25am Franco Twinkie: I'm sure Mose Allison never could have imagined the likes of Blue Cheer covering this. Michael Chapman, yes.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm getting a little John Fahey too.
	11:25am StringOFperils: This is closer to Bukka White's Parchman Farm, yes. Including the percussive guitar sound
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was John Martyn's B-Day other day...
	11:26am Joe McG: @Woods: Later in his life he wrote a song called "Fahey's Flag" and also recorded a song called "John Fahey."
	11:27am StringOFperils: This DOES sound like Roy Harper, a lot.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Joe & all! Status update: The free jazz doc was AMAZING. I only listen to free jazz now. And Halloween novelty records. Free jazz and Halloween novelty records.
	11:28am StringOFperils: K, I'll shut up now. (props to Blue Cheer)
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: As soon as categories start forming, Rock, Pop, Folk there is a danger of shutting off any other musical options. Keeping it freeform is the solution. I know preaching to the converted.
	11:29am Joe McG: I should probably do a tribute to Roy Harper while he's still among us instead of waiting until he disappears.
	11:29am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hey Joe. Great show. Cheers
	11:29am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha, excellent!! @Danny: Thanks, man!
	11:31am Miss G: Lovely tribute to Michael Chapman, didn't know him, thank you Joe. I would love to hear a tribute to Roy Harper, I only know this one song from WFMU but I adore it: "She's the One"
	11:32am TDK60: Brian in UK, I have guessed that possibly such categories are rather porous? (Maybe not for Ewan MacColl but almost everyone else?)
	11:33am TDK60: But, at least WFMU plays both kinds of music. (Porous/non-porous.)
	11:33am Mark in Toronto: @Miss G: I agree with you, I love "She's The One". I only have a best of CD compilation.
	11:35am Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	11:35am Miss G: This spring I was feeling so depleted, had a big birthday (home alone) and trying to figure out the vax, and then I heard that song and it made me feel so alive! :D
	11:35am Little Danny: lol TDK @11:33
	11:36am Court of Morris: Thank you
	11:39am Joe McG: My pleasure!
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& even Porest...
	11:40am Brendan: The that one main riff of this reminds me of Davy Graham ‘She moved through the fair’
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes.
	11:42am prudy: I love his sad, melancholy tones
	11:42am TDK60: Thanks so much for the M. Chapman set, Joe! I'm not so familiar with his stuff. (Don't tell any of my UK folky WFMU pen pals!) Great tunes. Will definitely delve..
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: Joe, this is pure joy.
	11:43am ChukAmok: John Allen played a Bridget St. John interpretation of Chapman's "The Aviator" on 3/5/21. It was beautiful and I still can't find it anywhere.
	11:43am Mike Sin: Another great tribute on WFMU.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Acoustic guitar-based folks just seem to get on with the job and release record after record.
	11:44am Joe McG: Here's the full set on my show if you are interested: wfmu.org...
	11:46am ChukAmok: Steve Gunn also wrote a brief, but very good memorial to Michael Chapman on Aquarium Drunkard: aquariumdrunkard.com...
	11:46am Joe McG: @Mike: Thanks, Mike. If John were on for this schedule, I know he could've done a fuller appreciation since he and Michael were friends, but this is what I can do. @Chuk: Great to see this, thanks!
	11:46am prudy: thanks Chuk...
	11:46am ChukAmok: Thank you, Joe McG!
	11:47am Yes: enjoying what ive heard, joe. need to dig a little more on michael
	11:47am Andres: Lovely sounds! Uncertain, Texas - in 2018 estimated population of 59.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: ChukAmok, a heartfelt tribute. Steve Gunn another of the hard working, got enough material for another albums types.
	👻 11:49am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	11:50am annie: ...just lovely, really lovely
	👻 11:50am officina: Another great show Joe.

	11:51am Steve Gunn: Thank You for this Joe! RIP Michael Chapman. We lost another great one.
	11:51am Joe McG: Thanks for saying hello, Steve. My condolences to you! What a great artist he was. You did a beautiful job on this record with him.
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: Joe, great thoughtful show.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: I'm not sure I can come back to Earth after this Joe. Thanks.
	11:53am βrian: Irene coming up on the Drummer Stream, if you're so inclined. wfmu.org... Thanks, Joe. Really lovely.
	11:53am Handy Haversack: Amazing tribute, Joe, and a great show. Thanks!
	11:54am Steve Gunn: His music is sounding so wonderful on the airwaves this morning. Thank You Joe
	11:54am Joe McG: Hey everybody, thanks for listening and commenting. Today once again we went from the ridiculous to the sublime. Thanks to Michael Chapman for being here on earth with us. Have a great week, all!
	11:54am steveo: Beautiful set. Condolences to all who knew and loved Michael.
	11:54am StringOFperils: Such beautifully felt playing. Thank you so much for assembling this for us to hear. Truly unjust that it didn't have a wider audience in his lifetime.
	11:55am Miss G: Agreed Franko. Thank you Joe for being the brain-instrument "mood organ" from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" this lovely morning!
	👻 11:55am karlward: Stellar
	11:55am annie: i haven't been breathing for close to 20 minutes. this stuff is leaving me in rapt attention
	11:56am TDK60: Thanks for a fine show, especially the M.C. set. See ya Joe.

	9:05am Rick A: Hi Joe and All, I only knew this song as a Coke commercial, of course. However, it makes sense that it was its own song first. A few minutes before I teach my own class, Joe, you have taught me something today, thank you!

	👻 9:05am Threemoons: Oh man peak 70's going on. BTW had no ideas this was a Carpenters tune...remember it from Sesame Street.
	9:05am holland oats: i say sing of sad
	9:05am PMD: Another ear worm ! But positive message
	9:06am Asheville Jon: dang Joe, super trip down childhood memory lane this morning!
	9:06am melinda: @Threemoons I remember the Sesame Street performance too. Peak 70s haha
	9:06am Rick A: When I first attended a Mets game in 1988, I was quite surprised that Shea Stadium only offered Royal Crown Cola which was inexplicable though satisfying to me at the time.
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: Hyper: I hadn't had one in so long it was like "They still make this?" But it wasn't bad. (It was cold and did its job of washing down the pizza).
	👻 9:07am YETI BOB: And I did sing a little bit of "Me and my RC"
	9:08am B-listener: @ Yeti Bob and a moon pie?
	👻 9:09am Webhamster Henry: ILTTTWTS was absolutely not a song first. "The melody, of course, is "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke" and the setting is one staged for a Coca-Cola television commercial." -- from that aforementioned songbook.
	9:09am Rick A: Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon in the house! One of the great films of the era. Recently, there was a really great documentary about Hal Ashby, made by a young woman. It's well worth seeing.
	9:09am djsheilab: A much-needed dose of sweetness. Morning Joe!
	👻 9:09am DjLorraine: I'm gonna yip out. Yip yip
	9:09am melinda: @Rick A do you remember the name? I'd love to see that
	👻 9:09am Threemoons: Gotta hop into the shower--tight schedule; got to get a pre-procedure COVID test before getting up bright and early Saturday AM for a 7 AM medical procedure (standard test). Back once I am cleansed and caffinated.
	9:10am Krys O.: Thanks for the tip, Rick A. I really like Ashby's work. Made in Heaven, for example, is a nice little film.
	9:10am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG: Sing me an old song about singing, Joe.
	9:10am Rick A: Damn, I'm bummed to turn this off to work now though I will look forward to the rest of this set on the archive.
	9:10am Krys O.: Good luck, 3moons!
	👻 9:10am YETI BOB: B-listener: I've never had a moon pie. Looks like an awful lot of sugar.
	9:10am HyperDose: @YB Glad to hear it's still around. I've had it a few times. Carbonation isn't harsh and actually enjoyed the mellow, "cheaper" flavor.
	👻 9:10am Threemoons: Thx!
	9:10am Rick A: Melinda, it's called simply Hal. It cam out in 2018.
	9:11am Son Of Pantz: Huh. I thought RC Cola was only a Southern thing. Grandma would always buy me an RC and a Moon Pie when we went to the grocery together.
	9:11am melinda: thx Rick
	9:11am βrian: Thunder, lightning, and rain, rain, rain. Good morning.
	9:11am Joe McG: Good morning, everyone! I hope you're having a super positive happy morning full of singing and happy music!
	9:11am PaulRobeson1920: Hello all! Hii DJ Joe!
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Looking at the history of RC Cola - it came out in 1905, because Coca-Cola syrup was too expensive. It's always been a cheap alternative. And apparently Nancy Sinatra made a few commercials for RC, I'll have to seek those out.
	9:12am John in Phoenixville: Thanks for the positive energy, Joe!
	9:12am Quinn: First day of school after 18 months. Nothing like the familiar sound of yip yip yip to know I’m late dropping my kid off.
	👻 9:13am Webhamster Henry: The Hillside Singers was made out of producer Al Ham's family, the Shaw brothers, the Marino family, and a few additions. Al used some of these groups for other commercials he produced.
	9:13am dale: mr. pibb or wink man, myself. vernors when i'm feeling randy.
	👻 9:13am Webhamster Henry: There's nothin' like WFMUsic.
	9:14am TDK60: Music is okay. I suppose I could believe in it.
	9:15am Krys O.: You're really pulling out the oldies, Joe.
	9:15am melinda: I remember Mr. Pibb
	9:15am Krys O.: More familiar with the B.J. Thomas version of this.
	9:16am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Nice first set so far Joe, thank you
	👻 9:16am YETI BOB: The Nancy Sinatra RC Cola ads are easy to find on YouTube but I don't want to interrupt this show. Check 'em out later, they look pretty wild.
	9:16am dale: remember the kenny rogers quick pickin' easy strummin' guitar course commercial?
	9:16am Krys O.: Duh, how could I forget Mac Davis. I used to watch his TV show.
	9:17am Joe McG: I know that I believe in music. I mean, I'm at WFMU!
	👻 9:20am Webhamster Henry: Can the Cowsills be far behind?
	9:20am listener Rey: Hi Joe and surface Noisers. I'm a big believer in music, a zealot, actually
	9:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, I wish I was as positive as this music.
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Up with People! again! Second time in recent memory!
	9:21am HyperDose: @melinda There used to be a place at Newark airport that had Mr. Pibb. Wonder if it's still there. Has anyone been brave enough to try Moxie?
	👻 9:21am YETI BOB: "Up With People" came through my middle school sometime in the 70s. Man, we were a bunch of cynical kids, even at that age. We satirized the whole thing.
	9:21am Krys O.: Wasn't Glenn Close part of this cult?
	9:22am TDK60: The Up with People! folks were out back before the show, puffin' on a joint, listening to Jefferson Airplane on one those newfangled cassettes.
	👻 9:22am karlward: I saw Dan Bern at Turning Point in Piermont on Saturday--incredible show! But also I can't remember the last time I was at a show where the audience seemed to know all the words. Everyone was singing along in every song. Magical.
	9:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Hyperdose: Yes! When we were kids we thought it was the nastiest stuff ever....but I grew to appreciate it.
	9:23am Strandlund: This show always puts a smile on my face...
	9:23am listener Rey: @HyperDose I've not had Moxie, but tried Jolt cola once. It's got all the caffeine and all the sugar. Sweet and syrupy
	9:23am Joe McG: I'm kinda hoping that all of you can't get this song out of your head for the rest of the day!
	👻 9:23am Marley P. Dogg: Hooray for everything! Thanks for this uplifting set Joe!
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oof ! New long Schedule ! Hey - she found the key by the end.
	👻 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Under 11 hours until Dan Bodah delivers the antidote tonight. Haha!
	9:24am CHAD PEARSON: Feeling the Joe McG love today!
	9:24am βrian: There used to be a divey diner on US 127 that advertised RC Cola. Greasy cheeseburgers. We kids thought it was the best.
	9:24am Listener Scott: Smooth crowd work from the Up With People people.
	9:24am prudy: actually Joe that may work....OY!
	9:24am Niko, Copenhagen: Ha ha ha. What an insane atmosphere!
	9:24am Son Of Pantz: You sadistic SOB, Joe.
	9:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah but what does Micah say about these people...
	9:25am John in Phoenixville: They picked the wrong people to put on mic to sing along! 😁
	9:25am prudy: rev rabbit...exactly....
	9:25am Niko, Copenhagen: This is a pretty annoying song! Thanks Joe!!
	9:25am DJ Guin: attended school with a sanctimonious classmate that sang backup on this gem: www.discogs.com...
	9:25am BillyLundun: Up with everything!
	9:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think these folks played before TheOrangeOne(tm) addressed the moonies this past weekend.
	9:25am TDK60: C'mon Son of Pantz, let's all sway!
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: OMG, "Up With People!" is still at it. Since 1965.
	👻 9:25am pgalub: Morning Joe and everyone. Wow this is making my skin crawl- in the best possible way of course! ;) Does Irwin know about this recording?
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I actually almost even been in bands - & nobody's stuck a microphone under my nose yet...
	9:26am Strandlund: Wasn't their arch enemy "Up Yours People"
	9:26am BillyLundun: bass player is having a blast
	9:26am Joe McG: You're welcome, Niko! :)
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: having flashbacks to that overcrowded, airless middle school auditorium
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bootsy on bass.
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Up Your Nose People
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Music about music. Not an easy discipline...
	9:27am Listener Scott: Love how they teased the end and then launched into a reprise. Luckily my root canal later today will drive that cloying melody out.
	9:27am Ike-O: peace and greetings from kcmo everyone!
	9:27am Niko, Copenhagen: Maybe Joe has Abba and James Taylor up his sleeve...
	9:28am DJ Guin: @Niko - did you forget this one? www.youtube.com...
	9:28am Kpx: Helloey Joey McGaskoey
	9:29am Joe McG: @Guin: It was a tough decision on that song (I have the Mac version), but I decided to go with Kenny. @Scott: Ha ha!
	9:30am Niko, Copenhagen: @DJ Guin: Ha ha - trying to forget... But hard - now that it is coming from all sides...
	9:30am fredrik: Didn’t realize how much I needed cheering up this morning… but this set sure took care of that!!
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Presumably that Carpetners I missed is that song SesameStreet used...
	9:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...carpetnerds...
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: RR: Indeed. "Canta una Canción"
	9:31am Listener Scott: Hopefully Free to Be You and Me leads off the second set.
	9:32am JT: hi joe. aural booster shot
	9:32am Niko, Copenhagen: There is a fantastic Danish song in this genre. Completely over the top: "Musical Friends". From the album: "Live while you do it" (sic!) - - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jholcdpaDpQ
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Listener Scott: All that propaganda I absorbed as a kid, telling me (and everyone) how "special" I was - I wonder sometimes if this is actually healthy?
	9:33am melinda: @Listener Scott yes!
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): They exist...and they're not to be trusted.
	9:34am TDK60: I'm starting to really like this music stuff, Joe.
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. No embedded memory for any of these oldies over here.
	9:34am Little Danny: Good morning Joe, hi all
	9:35am TDK60: Brian! You lucky limeys don't know about Up with Persons?
	👻 9:35am Ken From Hyde Park: Here's a music trivia question, true or false: Did Up With People appear in a Super Bowl hafltime program?
	9:35am HyperDose: Like a cherry coke with a lot more flavor, or is it really like cough syrup, WoodsOfNH? @listener Rey I had Jolt once and I haven't remembered much since. Remember Surge, the ever so slightly tolerable Mountain Dew? haha
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: TRUE
	👻 9:35am Brian in UK: TDK60, not an inkling.
	9:35am βrian: @YETI BOB: That makes me wonder if we should sometimes just say "meh" when Little Human proclaims some achievement.
	9:36am B-listener: Menomena song. And everyone has to sing along with their head upside down so their chin looks like a nose. Or was that just my family
	9:37am TDK60: Brian, they were a sort of Nixonian era cultural attempt to keep folks from listening to Dylan or Blue Cheer or...
	9:37am Kpx: RRN63@9:26 - you didn't finish it, allow me. Up your nose with a rubber hose people!. Can you dig it, I knew that you could.
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: Twice as far with a lit cigar!
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: If Tompkins Square do a tribute then you must be good; which they did in Michael Chapman's case.
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: TDK60, how bizarre.
	9:40am Jeff Golick: I'm kind of low-key obsessed with this Spanish Model record.
	👻 9:40am yerfriendpaul: Hey Joe! Hey everyone! Slow moving for me today. Can't get jump started. Elvis and Nina helps!
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jolt⚡️! 'all the sugar & twice the caffeine'...
	👻 9:41am YETI BOB: Up with People formed in 1965, spun off a religious group called "Moral Rearmament", I guess they were trying to be more accessible. They tour schools and stuff. And they have a camp where they indoctrinate new members. I think it's sort of a cult. Amazed to read they are still around.
	9:42am Joe McG: @Jeff: It's such an odd idea, but oddly compelling!
	9:42am melinda: sad news about Michael Chapman
	9:43am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Ooh, I hope they put Pump It Up on this album
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): A dude at my office had a bottle of some caffeinated water called Krank20. We made coffee with it. Not a good idea. At all.
	9:44am Officer Pupp: WOW THIS IS GREAT
	9:45am Mark Hurst: Yeah Joe!
	👻 9:46am YETI BOB: This reissue of "Segundo" is fantastic, comes with a nice booklet with the history of the album. Highly recommended.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there was some corporate concoction something like Jolt we got a case of samples of @ a CD store I worked @ (? - right ?!) - had a black panther on the bottle ...quite frankly - that panther slid off with a few of my teeth...
	9:46am Little Danny: Man this Juana Molina album is SO GOOD, can't believe it's 20+ years old
	👻 9:47am YETI BOB: RevRab: Was it "Josta"?
	9:48am Joe McG: Hey Mark! Hey, Sheila (very late!)! Hey Little Danny!
	9:49am Kpx: Woods: because of the taste, or the effect that it had on you.
	9:52am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hello, Joe and folx. Enjoying the mood already
	9:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Kpx: the latter. Toooooo much caffeine.
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB: It was indeed...
	9:53am Listener Scott: Went down a Hillside Singers rabbit hole; I never knew that 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing' was originally an entirely different song called 'True Love and Apple Pie' -- identical melody. Performed here www.youtube.com...
	9:53am Little Danny: Hi Baba! You west coasters get up bracingly early.
	9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' Josta was a soft drink brand that was produced by PepsiCo and the first energy drink ever introduced by a major US beverage company. It was marketed as a "high-energy drink" with guaraná and caffeine '...
	9:54am JT: liquid meth
	9:54am Joe McG: @Scott: Thanks for the info, I didn't know that, either!
	9:55am Barbara in PA: Now that is a guitar solo
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Meth @ least doesn't have sugar & phosphoric acid...
	9:55am Phillippe: Good morning
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Ha, right, Barbara? Had to click back over and see what was going on! Hey, Phillippe!
	9:56am Kpx: Woods: I imagine you being all fidgety like the character tweek from South Park
	9:56am Phillippe: Hey Handy, how are ya?
	9:57am Franco Twinkie: I worked on some very early Japanese energy drink commercials. To me, they tasted like licking an ashtray.
	9:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Kpx: Exactly! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Hello Handy, looks like Wednesday is go for the swim.
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Eh, OK, Phillippe, Digging out at work after a week away. And I was going to go back to the actual office today, but we were maybe exposed on Thu. so am waiting to get tested today. Testing van hadn't shown up yet at 9 when I checked. Great, Brian! Super exciting!
	10:00am Barbara in PA: Hi Handy, I'm coming to New York! first time in an aeon
	10:01am dano59: A few more “Sing”-related trax for future consideration, @JoeMcG -“I Can Hear Music”; “I Hear a Symphony” (Stevie W. or Supremes), Glen Campbell’s 2008 cover of Travis’s “Sing” and “What Light” by Wilco
	10:03am Joe McG: @dano59: Always appreciate suggestions!
	10:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay ! Heron Oblivion
	10:03am HyperDose: Morning Handy, Phillippe, MxBB, & LD! Nice to see you "around the neighborhood". :)
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Wow, Barbara, that's very exciting! We'll keep Greenpoint open for you! Hey, HyperDose! And what Rev Rab said! What a great set, Joe. Gonna take it outside.
	10:06am Phillippe: double ugh there, Handy (except for the vacation -- good on that!) Hey hyperdose!
	10:07am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Meg Baird is in Heron Oblivion. Loved her vocals when she was in Espers
	10:09am TDK60: Kevin/UK: Meg Baird, yeah. Dig her in various settings. ║ Franco, you really licked an ashtray once?
	👻 10:09am YETI BOB: Kevin - she has some really good solo albums too, and one she made with her sister Laura
	10:10am Handy Haversack: Good call, YB. That album is great.
	10:11am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: YB, that sounds like it would be my kind of thing. Will go and have a search
	10:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that guy's name is John Jacob Niles ...let's see how long I remember it...
	10:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Little Danny: I would love to be a sleeper inner an the next life! Hey there, HyperDose! just hanging out on the chat board porch, here.
	10:13am TDK60: Handy, Yeti: one of the songs I attempt to actually sing at open mikes (when pandemics are dormant) is a Baird Sisters tune.
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the squeaky drum is a Cuíca ...for no other reason than I can never remember that either...
	👻 10:14am YETI BOB: TDK60: Nice
	10:16am bk845: Man, I feel like I'm a Kindergartner back in the 1970s again. Nice relaxing sets today Joe:).
	10:16am Joe McG: @bk: Sometimes it's nice to regress a little in order to move forward!
	10:16am Kpx: Handy: you mean you were possibly exposed again to covid or its latest strain. Dang man! Do you ever feel like this virus is specifically targeting you, and don't you feel a little cheesed about The vaccine because it's not protecting you like it should? Well here's hoping that your test turns out negative.
	10:16am Handy Haversack: Here's to dormancy, TDK60. Morning, Mx. Baba Bee!
	10:19am Franco Twinkie: Oh man! I saw Ruthann Friedman singing at a bookstore in Pasadena. In between songs she hinted at having a thing with Neil Young when he was in The Buffalo Springfield.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Franco: I interviewed her on this show years ago. Such a nice and interesting lady!
	10:20am Franco Twinkie: TDK, I've licked all kind of things that maybe I shouldn't have.
	10:20am TDK60: RevRab63,: I don't see how you could forget John Jacob Niles' name, after hearing him. (If you did.)
	10:22am Tinley Park Randy: My wedding first dance 10/19/1991
	10:22am Andres: Dear this song, You’re the best thing. Sincerely, Me.
	10:22am Joe McG: @Randy: Now, that's a fine choice!
	10:23am Joe McG: @Andres: Ha ha! One of his best for sure.
	10:24am HyperDose: I'm feeling things. Warm fuzzy things. 😌
	10:24am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Woking's finest, Mr P Weller. Can't think of anything else about Woking which stands out to be honest.
	10:24am Tinley Park Randy: @Joe Thanks. It’s been our song since it came out I 1984. Still have the 45.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: I am alerted.
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: Oh - I remember him - but names be another matter...
	10:29am PaulRobeson1920: @Kpx @10:16 Good mornninngggg “Some things are within our control, and some things are not.”
	10:29am Jason from Houston: wfmu.org...
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Handy ...you ever feel damn glad you got the vaccine & don't die from exposure to new & improved Covid that's incubated in the anti-makers & anti-vaxxers, that are therefore more vaccine resistant ? Just - yerknow - incidentally... Time for Boosters...
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *anti-maSkers
	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: Ooo thank you @Jason From Houston! <3
	10:31am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:31am Handy Haversack: I do, Rev Rab! Ready for booster stage 1!
	👻 10:32am YETI BOB: Juana Molina "Segundo" LP has a nice illustrated book, and one previously unreleased track, IIRC
	10:32am TDK60: Handy, do you ever feel glad you got a viurus vaccine that may have helped you and partner get through an infection of the virus?
	10:34am Andrew_in_WI: This weekend I saw the rapper Coolio perform in central Wisconsin! In a town of 1500!! At a bowling alley!!! As he performed the last song of the evening I was saddened by the fact that Stevie Wonder would never see a single royalty check for "Gangsta's Paradise."
	10:34am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey, Handy! Hope you and yours are well today. I'm rushing around a bit, trying to get my partner to the ferry on time!
	10:35am Joe McG: Hey, this isn't the Box Tops!!
	10:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): and, Franco, I was refraining from commenting on your licking habits, but … you're in good company…
	10:36am Handy Haversack: I do, TDK60! I am glad everyone's so interested in my opinions today. It's good evidence for when I'm trying to convince the dog to listen to my crackpot theories! We all joined SMKen in mourning that the pandemic canceled the Yokohama Licking Festival.
	10:37am Andres: Is there a sound more distinct than that of the 80's? Nice!
	10:37am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Note to Handy's dog: just smile and wag
	10:37am TDK60: Hi Baba B., dashing to a ferry.
	10:38am Son Of Pantz: "Top that!"
	10:38am HyperDose: Weren't kids running around licking ice cream containers in stores a year before the pandemic? Makes you think...
	10:38am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: at least I HOPE the ferries are running today. There was a sorta strike on Saturday.
	10:39am Kpx: And a good mornninnggg to you too PaulRobeson1920. Tell me about it, but it just seems like the tighter grip they try to get on this pandemic the worse it gets!
	10:41am Miss G: Dancing on a Monday morning! Thank you Joe!
	10:41am eyzee: hello <3
	10:41am Joe McG: @MissG: Doin' the stroll, I hope!
	10:42am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I've never done The Stroll.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Mx Baba Bee: www.youtube.com...
	10:44am Miss G: I was doing my best attempt at The Stroll! I had to turn the headphones off, I hope I didn't wake my young neighbor. Oh well, The Stroll is better to wake to than (I see from the playlist) Up With People (I also saw them in jr high)
	10:46am StringOFperils: I'd stroll in my cowboy boots but I don't have pain-cancelling headphones.
	10:47am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Joe: ah, thanks! I think I learned all of my dances as a child from watching Dance Fever, Solid Gold and the movie "Grease"
	10:47am BillD: Did you sneak into my collection for the Chris Hodge 45😄?
	10:48am Mike Sin: OK -- who here has the picture sleeve that goes along with the Chris Hodge single?
	10:48am Franco Twinkie: I got some cowboy boots in junior high school. It DID NOT improve my social standing.
	10:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Crenshaw about the best there is @ this here.
	10:49am StringOFperils: Cowboy boots improve your social sitting.
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if you got steeltoes - other people's opinions matter notably less...
	10:50am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I see that there are many ways to personalize one's Stroll. Some of these kids have style!
	10:50am Kpx: This Marshall Crenshaw is hitting the spot right now Joe, it's helping me to relax a bit. Thanks
	👻 10:50am pgalub: Ooh. Perfect pop song alert. 🎶
	10:50am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco: what have you ever done that improved your social standing?
	10:51am Roberto: Marshall Crenshaw is like auditory aromatherapy.
	10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...my next heavy concept album: Franco Twinkie's Social Standing
	10:53am Franco Twinkie: Well Baba, Starting with holding my nose high in the air and working downward...
	10:53am Joe McG: @pg: Agree! I also really like that cover version by Marti Jones. Or was it Sam Philips? Syd Straw? Now I can't remember.
	10:53am Miss G: & Jane Birkin is helping me to recapture my morning cheerfulness after the plunge of two horrific pandemic news articles (thus turning on the radio)
	👻 10:54am chresti: Bone jour Joe and Co! Coming in loud and clear @ Griffith Park! MX BABA BEEKINS!
	👻 10:54am pgalub: @Joe Marti Jones. Yeah, good stuff.
	10:54am Jeff Golick: A pop high point.
	10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): CHRESTIKINS!!!! the day begins! and now I'm off to the ferry!
	10:55am TDK60: Franco, you needed to live in San Antonio. When I was there in '85 all the punx had cowboy boots on. But I don't think you were still in school in '85. Never mind.
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Never turn off the radio!
	10:55am Listener Alexandra: Wow...you really are playing Madonna, Joe. I thought I was still sleeping for a moment :)
	10:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): PS: Nthe first time I heard this I had never heard of Madonna and I thought this was The Belle Stars
	10:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Pete! I feel relieved that my first instinct was right. @Alex: My favorite is "Borderline" but I like this one a lot. The cowbell!
	10:56am Son Of Pantz: Izod, popped collar. Jams and K-Swiss, unlaced. Oh yeaaah!
	10:56am DJ Guin: Madonner at the STD Awards Last Night.. metro.co.uk...
	10:56am StringOFperils: I think you can line-dance to this record
	10:56am Spardocus: Feel like I'm the backseat of my mom's 1985 honda civic, bopping on the way to Jamesway
	10:56am Therese: Holiday! Celebrate! Joe McGasko!
	10:56am Listener Alexandra: Mine is "Live to Tell". Decent movie, too.
	10:57am HyperDose: @DJ Guin I think that's Post Office Malone
	10:57am Miss G: StringOFperils, this song reminds me of roller disco (was sorry I never went to Roxy, not even once. . .)
	10:57am Joe McG: Therese! Hi!
	10:57am Strandlund: "Free Madonna!!"
	10:58am StringOFperils: Perfect pop record and art-object, all in one.
	👻 10:58am Threemoons: BOWIE!!!!!!!!! The level of eclecticism in today's set is almost like a continuation of Wake! Good thing I'm wearing my Wake Gremlin T-shirt!
	10:59am Asheville Jon: i'm happy, hope you're happy too. :) this is such a fine Bowie album
	👻 10:59am yerfriendpaul: Ashes to Ashes!! I'm Happy - Hope you're happy too!
	👻 10:59am Threemoons: And yes, Scary Monsters is a freaking MASTERPIECE.
	10:59am Franco Twinkie: TDK those cowboy boots that I got when I was in junior high were dusted off when punk started about seven years later. With my black Levis tucked inside, I was finally right on time.
	👻 11:00am pgalub: When the stoic chorus repeats "I've never done good things... I've never done bad things...WHOA."= 🔥
	11:00am prudy: love all of Scary Monsters...
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anniversary of Scary Monsters album yesterday. Boowie's last great one - til maybe his last ? ?
	11:00am Joe McG: @SOP: Agree! Magical music making, sounds great in the studio on 45!
	11:00am DJ Guin: i've never did anything out of the blue. (whoa)
	👻 11:01am Threemoons: @RR I LOVE Let's Dance also. It was such an era piece...peak stadium 80's.
	11:01am Krys O.: Heathen is an excellent Bowie album, IMO.
	11:01am Rick A: I got a message from The Action Man who I feel is both everywhere and nowhere.
	👻 11:01am Threemoons: And Blackstar is a masterpiece. Perfect swan song.
	11:01am Bon Boudica: Always interject "sordid details following" whenever I see fit
	11:01am DJ Guin: BLACKSTAR is his last masterpiece.
	👻 11:01am yerfriendpaul: The video is perfect too. Totally freaky
	11:01am Son Of Pantz: This song always reminds me of the Night Flight staple called "Ricochet". A strange sort of doc about a Japanese kid trying to save up to see Bowie when he comes to town. Anyone else remember that?
	11:01am TDK60: RevRab: I do like the David B. 'Earthling' album, '97.
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Excellent. Yeah, talk to me. I kinda lost the Boowie thread after 1980 honestly.
	👻 11:02am Threemoons: Everyone keeps going on about Heathen, but I haven't really been able to listen to anything Bowie did after the disappointment of Glass Spiders and (shudder) Tin Machine. I may give Heathen a re-listen.
	11:02am Krys O.: I second the Earthling recommendation.
	👻 11:03am chresti: I met Franco in '83, never saw him wearing cowboy boots.
	11:03am annie: lurking, listening, liking
	11:03am Andrew Hollywood: That was a pretty good set. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
	👻 11:03am yerfriendpaul: I'm a fan of his Let's Dance stuff too. The hits are great tunes. I love Blue Jean too
	👻 11:03am Threemoons: Oh, OK, I guess I'll listen to Earthling also.
	11:03am TDK60: chresti, (Hi.) That was because punk was a bit old by '83 and Franco was trying to get the New Romantic look down.. [?]
	👻 11:04am Threemoons: If I had to pick ONE Bowie album I would take the Berlin trilogy...if I really had to pick ONE I'd have to flip a coin between Low and Heroes.
	11:04am Krys O.: Black Tie/White Noise had Lester Bowie collaborating with David Bowie.
	👻 11:05am Threemoons: Hey @JoeMcG: For another Single File: "Pretty Pink Rose" collab between Adrian Belew and Bowie! Also peak 80's fun.
	11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Scary Monsters wigkey notes that the Berlin Trilogy influenced entire swaths of Music - but didn't Chart as much...
	👻 11:06am pgalub: "Jump They Say" is a pretty great Bowie tune/single as well.
	11:06am joe mulligan: Yes, that video of ashes to ashes was wild and a little scary too! also I just realized that major tom was not a junkie for drugs but a thrill junkie for the heavens. of course that's easier to see with all these billionaire space tourists
	11:07am TDK60: Joe: Millionaire Astronauts was the name of my first high school band..
	👻 11:07am Threemoons: Gotta give Bowie credit for REALLY working the MTV era; ALL of his videos are gold. All of them. And I remember the long form Blue Jeans vid fondly....
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The only Bowie record that ever resonated with me was Blackstar. Yeah, I know....
	11:07am StringOFperils: With Blackstar, Bowie made a theatrical exit that was even more grand than Ziggy's; making art for the masses out of your own death TWICE!
	11:08am Krys O.: @3moons: I rewatched Blue Jean in full length recently. He was such a good actor too.
	11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ScaryMonsters videos helped makes endless hours of MTV less of a Wasteland. SoP - minblowing actually.
	👻 11:09am chresti: I think he was wearing engineer/work boots, TDK60
	👻 11:10am Threemoons: I remember when I first saw the Blackstar video and was immediately shocked. it was obvious that he was dying; my guess was cancer and I was right. So many clues in the video--Major Tom dead; beautiful young aliens finding his jeweled skull in his helmet and dancing around it....
	11:10am joe mulligan: @TDK, groundbreaking, pun intended!
	👻 11:11am Threemoons: And that line "I am the I Am" - David KNEW he was dying but also knew he was an absolute legend and that his music would live on; kids would see him as this odd alien and celebrate him....
	11:11am TDK60: Chresti, maybe Franco wasn't so into the New Romantics? Maybe more an '80s hair metal guy?
	11:11am SeanG: Bowie's album OUTSIDE is a fuckin masterpiece
	11:12am Franco Twinkie: I still have those cowboy boots AND the engineer boots!
	👻 11:13am Threemoons: @KrysO and let's not forget his role in Absolute Beginners! Again, such peak 80's! I mean, I remember seeing that movie with my then-boyfriend; I had a Pat Benetar haircut and was wearing my military style jumpsuit from Bamberger's; he had on a cotton Miami Vice white rumpled suit, and afterwards we had gelato -- the new hotness -- at a place a few doors down from the movie theater that had a ton of new neon lighting and mirrors--more peak 80s!!
	11:13am Mark in Toronto: Errol Sober does not appear to be Jon (John) Ab(d)nor Jr. He moved on to Bell and Capitol with a number of singles and released an album on Capitol
	11:14am prudy: Joe, thanks for doing this tribute to Chapman...
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: But seriously TDK, judging by your picture, I'm sure you rocked 'the look' back in the day.
	👻 11:14am Threemoons: And yeah, I need to get back to work; I could sing the praises of Bowie all day! :D
	11:15am Joe McG: @Mark: Thanks for investigating, Mark! @prudy: I really couldn't pass up the opportunity to celebrate his music.
	11:16am Franco Twinkie: This is awesome!
	11:16am prudy: Joe...He was really an underecognized gem!
	11:18am Joe McG: @prudy: I couldn't agree more. Late in his life, more people paid attention, so I'm happy he had that late-career renaissance.
	11:19am TDK60: Franco, I was out of step, sartorially speaking, in 83. But the new wavers still invited me to their late night after partees!
	11:20am Franco Twinkie: There you go! It was all about getting invited to parties anyway.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was reading Chapman said he wasn't rooted in Folk @ all - but those clubs were the only place Acoustic made any sense. Certain aspects of his voice make me think slightly of RoyHarper...
	11:24am Joe McG: @RR63: Yeah, you can hear a lot of blues in his music, esp. here! I think he and Roy Harper are kin, I agree.
	11:25am Franco Twinkie: I'm sure Mose Allison never could have imagined the likes of Blue Cheer covering this. Michael Chapman, yes.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm getting a little John Fahey too.
	11:25am StringOFperils: This is closer to Bukka White's Parchman Farm, yes. Including the percussive guitar sound
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was John Martyn's B-Day other day...
	11:26am Joe McG: @Woods: Later in his life he wrote a song called "Fahey's Flag" and also recorded a song called "John Fahey."
	11:27am StringOFperils: This DOES sound like Roy Harper, a lot.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Joe & all! Status update: The free jazz doc was AMAZING. I only listen to free jazz now. And Halloween novelty records. Free jazz and Halloween novelty records.
	11:28am StringOFperils: K, I'll shut up now. (props to Blue Cheer)
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: As soon as categories start forming, Rock, Pop, Folk there is a danger of shutting off any other musical options. Keeping it freeform is the solution. I know preaching to the converted.
	11:29am Joe McG: I should probably do a tribute to Roy Harper while he's still among us instead of waiting until he disappears.
	11:29am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hey Joe. Great show. Cheers
	11:29am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha, excellent!! @Danny: Thanks, man!
	11:31am Miss G: Lovely tribute to Michael Chapman, didn't know him, thank you Joe. I would love to hear a tribute to Roy Harper, I only know this one song from WFMU but I adore it: "She's the One"
	11:32am TDK60: Brian in UK, I have guessed that possibly such categories are rather porous? (Maybe not for Ewan MacColl but almost everyone else?)
	11:33am TDK60: But, at least WFMU plays both kinds of music. (Porous/non-porous.)
	11:33am Mark in Toronto: @Miss G: I agree with you, I love "She's The One". I only have a best of CD compilation.
	11:35am Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	11:35am Miss G: This spring I was feeling so depleted, had a big birthday (home alone) and trying to figure out the vax, and then I heard that song and it made me feel so alive! :D
	11:35am Little Danny: lol TDK @11:33
	11:36am Court of Morris: Thank you
	11:39am Joe McG: My pleasure!
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& even Porest...
	11:40am Brendan: The that one main riff of this reminds me of Davy Graham ‘She moved through the fair’
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes.
	11:42am prudy: I love his sad, melancholy tones
	11:42am TDK60: Thanks so much for the M. Chapman set, Joe! I'm not so familiar with his stuff. (Don't tell any of my UK folky WFMU pen pals!) Great tunes. Will definitely delve..
	11:42am Franco Twinkie: Joe, this is pure joy.
	11:43am ChukAmok: John Allen played a Bridget St. John interpretation of Chapman's "The Aviator" on 3/5/21. It was beautiful and I still can't find it anywhere.
	11:43am Mike Sin: Another great tribute on WFMU.
	👻 11:44am Brian in UK: Acoustic guitar-based folks just seem to get on with the job and release record after record.
	11:44am Joe McG: Here's the full set on my show if you are interested: wfmu.org...
	11:46am ChukAmok: Steve Gunn also wrote a brief, but very good memorial to Michael Chapman on Aquarium Drunkard: aquariumdrunkard.com...
	11:46am Joe McG: @Mike: Thanks, Mike. If John were on for this schedule, I know he could've done a fuller appreciation since he and Michael were friends, but this is what I can do. @Chuk: Great to see this, thanks!
	11:46am prudy: thanks Chuk...
	11:46am ChukAmok: Thank you, Joe McG!
	11:47am Yes: enjoying what ive heard, joe. need to dig a little more on michael
	11:47am Andres: Lovely sounds! Uncertain, Texas - in 2018 estimated population of 59.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: ChukAmok, a heartfelt tribute. Steve Gunn another of the hard working, got enough material for another albums types.

	11:54am Joe McG: Hey everybody, thanks for listening and commenting. Today once again we went from the ridiculous to the sublime. Thanks to Michael Chapman for being here on earth with us. Have a great week, all!
	11:54am steveo: Beautiful set. Condolences to all who knew and loved Michael.
	11:54am StringOFperils: Such beautifully felt playing. Thank you so much for assembling this for us to hear. Truly unjust that it didn't have a wider audience in his lifetime.
	11:55am Miss G: Agreed Franko. Thank you Joe for being the brain-instrument "mood organ" from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" this lovely morning!
	👻 11:55am karlward: Stellar
