	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - hey bub! glad to be of service!
	2:47pm Kim Reynolds: Spoooooooooky!
	2:48pm myron feld: And coincidentally, yesterday a friend told me about the Ruby Keeler & Jimmy Cagney number "Shanghai Lil" from "Footlight Parade" -- well worth a youtube look. It's pre-code, so it's set in an opium den and bar, and features some doped-up ingenues. That's entertainment!
	2:49pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - will check that out, to be sure!
	2:53pm LesleyK: I thought the stray cats in my neighborhood were trying to break in here
	2:54pm LesleyK: Don't move the clocks til Nov 7 this year 😸
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - ha!
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: HEY ALL, PLEASE NOTE, I JUST SAID DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS THIS WEEKEND - IT DOES NOT! THIS SHOW IS FROM LAST YEAR!
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: SORRY ABOUT THAT - HAH! ANOTHER 'TRICK'!
	2:55pm Eric R: can't wait for Nov. 7th! My car clock will be right.
	2:56pm Woo: Time waits for noone
	2:57pm LesleyK: Dennis and his tricks!!! 🎃👹👻👾
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - it's the time of the season!!
	2:59pm LesleyK: That it is
	3:06pm Dennis Diken: DON'T SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK THIS WEEKEND - THIS SHOW IS FROM LAST YEAR!!!!
	3:08pm myron feld: I wondered that myself (King Kong writers) -- Discogs to the rescue! A (I Go) "King Kong" Written-By – Leonard Whitcup, Soupy Sales, Ted Lehrman
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - well alright! thanks!!
	3:16pm Dudski: That's so close to the Spoonful original.
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Dudski - The Spoonful rocked it up a bunch - a totally unhinged cut!! Zal Yanovsky on vocals
	3:19pm Dudski: They were great. And Sebastian was very knowledgeable about folk music and jug bands and all that.
	3:20pm Dudski: Of course when you say Yanovsky the "unhinged" part is just implied. What a character and a great guitarist. Always loved his work on "Coconut Grove".
	3:22pm Dennis Diken: @Dudski - yes indeed, I learned so much from listening to The Spoonful when I was a kid - without realizing it! Zal, my favorite guitarist!! agreed re "Coconut Grove"!
	3:24pm Dudski: "Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful" is one of those essential albums.
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Dudski - no argument here!! I can say the same thing for Daydream (I wrote liner notes for CD reishes of Hums and Daydream) as well as Do You Believe In Magic!
	3:31pm Dudski: I think it is easy to forget how important the Spoonful were. After the Beatles hit them and the Byrds were kind of the first great American bands.
	3:32pm Eric R: I need to check my copy of Hums!
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @Dudski - don't get me started! @Eric R - that was a total dream gig - I interviewed all four guys, including Zally!
	3:33pm Eric R: in NYC the "Gods" (according to me and my friends) were the Lovin' Spoonful and the Young Rascals.
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - did you get to see them live?
	3:35pm Eric R: no, never did. I saw Sebastian do a surprise set at the Troubadour open mic, much later (1979?)
	3:39pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - man, I woulda loved to have seen the original band live - tho I hear their performances could be erratic. but still...
	3:40pm Eric R: would have loved to have seen them at the Night Owl
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: @EricR - me too!!!
	3:43pm Kim Reynolds: That's a great Vincent Price album.
	3:44pm Patti K: Always loved this song, dig hearing Vincent Price too
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: @Kim Reynolds - indeed it is! I bought it at a street sale on St. Marks Place years ago! @Patti K - for sure!!
	3:50pm Woo: Thanks Dennis! I will not set my clock back this weekend.
	3:50pm Patti K: Enjoyed the show Dennis, helps the mid-week doldrums be a little less icky. Have a great week all!
	3:52pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis!!
