	8:00pm ultradamno: Becky! Tonkies!
	8:01pm y_ddraig_las: Hello everybody!
	8:03pm loveless: Looking forward to tonight's show. Hello all.
	8:04pm Becky: By request - one more from the Jazz Butcher <3
	8:04pm P-90: Howdy Becky and all the Beckaroos ridin’ the Radio Range
	8:05pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya, Becky, gang!
	8:09pm P-90: Did she say “the singing Brechman”?
	8:09pm P-90: Oh, ok
	8:10pm Becky: P-90, we're safe
	8:10pm Pauly from Clifton: The Jimmie Rogers museum in Meridian, MS, is a very nice and worthwhile stop on the way to New Orleans.
	👻 8:10pm D Rok: Ah, Jimmie Rodgers. The Elmo of his day. "T for Texas. T for Tennessee."
	👻 8:12pm D Rok: But also kind of the Warren G of his day? His Gamblin' Barroom Blues isn't terribly unlike 'Regulate' where storytelling is concerned.
	8:12pm Becky: I'm not sure Elmo would have spelled out "T for Thelma" etc.!
	8:20pm kwatts: Jimmie Rodgers block, thank you thank you!
	8:21pm Becky: Happy to be playing the Brakeman!
	8:22pm kwatts: A couple of these prob Camden, NJ.
	8:23pm Becky: @kwatts "In The Jailhouse Now" definitely was Camden!
	👻 8:24pm D Rok: 😁
	8:24pm Becky: For you, D Rok!
	8:24pm y_ddraig_las: Gin not being the drink of the middle classes it is today!
	8:25pm Becky: Yes, gin was truly from the bathtub in the old days!
	👻 8:27pm D Rok: Thank you Becky! That tune is epic.
	8:29pm ultradamno: Hank died traveling too
	8:30pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Becky! If I'm not mistaken, that was Dippermouth on the cornet.
	👻 8:31pm brycepunk1: Becky, I almost never comment but I love your show every week. I always look forward to it. Thank you so much for all this great interesting music.
	8:31pm y_ddraig_las: Loving the Jimmie Rodgers tunes, but the pedant in me wonders what's wrong with Blue Yodel No.7
	8:32pm PJ: When I was at the Armstrong House Museum in Queens (highly recommended!), the docent told me that he called himself "Lew-is", but his last wife called him "Lew-ee".
	👻 8:32pm D Rok: y_ddraig_las: 6 is afraid of 7 ... Because 7 8 9!
	8:32pm Gaylord Fields: Ah, you did acknowledge and verify, even if you went agnostic on pronunciation of Louis' given name (which I believe he himself pronounced as "Lewis").
	8:33pm ultradamno: Cursed. Play it and a little girl comes out of a well in seven days and kills you
	8:34pm PJ: I also found out that people called him "Pops" because that was how he addressed people when he couldn't remember their name.
	👻 8:34pm D Rok: Isn't it nice when Gaylord just pops in with useful information? Hi Gaylord!
	8:35pm steveo: there's a somewhat inconclusive section of Armstrong's wikipedia page about his name pronunciation en.wikipedia.org... (which cites two other sources)
	8:35pm Becky: @Gaylord When I went to the Louis Armstrong House I too heard the same story as PJ! So was never sure.
	👻 8:37pm D Rok: YES!
	8:38pm Gaylord Fields: @D Rok: Hi! My calling card says "Dirty Pedantry Done Dirt Cheap"! @Becky: It's the same as how here among intimates you're known as "Becky" but professionally you go by "Beckettford."
	👻 8:39pm D Rok: Isn't it nice when Gaylord just pops in with jokes?
	8:39pm john_zilla: loving the tunes!
	8:40pm Becky: That's Beckettford, Esquire.
	8:44pm kwatts: Lol
	8:47pm BH: it's possible I typed this before but this version of "In The Jailhouse Now" is a pretty good duet song
	8:49pm steveo: I'm gonna call him Lewis from now on :) Loving the show tonight...
	👻 8:49pm D Rok: Does anyone know what the reasoning is behind the changing lyrics of In The Jailhouse Now? Cash's version has significantly different lyrics than the J Rodgers version. The version on the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack has entirely different lyrics still. It seems the lyrics of that song are rather fluid.
	8:52pm Becky: @D Rok - I think Jimmie Rodgers's songs, including T for Texas, almost immediately became "standards", which lent themselves to interpretation. They obviously were deeply influenced by Black jazz songs before him, so -- why not?
	8:53pm Becky: (*jazz and blues)
	👻 8:53pm D Rok: @Becky: That's kind of what I had figured. Seems as good of an explanation as any.
	8:54pm BH: also if you're not doing yodeling, there's some extra room to get creative with the cover To clarify, I was referring to the Willie Nelson/Webb Pierce "In the Jailhouse Now" from their 1982 album a few minutes ago.
	8:55pm Gaylord Fields: Aaron Neville sure was a man who was born to yodel!
	👻 8:55pm D Rok: @BH: That's true! If memory serves, in the Cash version, he just says "yodel boy," and then there's a guitar solo.
	8:59pm radioronan: Thanks Becky!
	9:00pm y_ddraig_las: Top notch show tonight. Nos da, Good night.
	9:00pm steveo: "big records going steady" :D
	9:00pm steveo: Thank you, Becky
	9:01pm BH: good move.. if the big records aren't steady, they could tip over
	👻 9:02pm D Rok: Thanks Becky! Great show!
