I wrote a small story called "Down Around Vauxhall With Willy" about an pustulant smelly guy named Willy Prince Albert and the guy got seriously mad at me?????
	👻 12:16pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyyy there, good people. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	12:17pm chresti: Lost: years ago a tennis customer lost his keys on a leash. Found: today his partner asked to borrow a leash for his dog, that he couldn't find where he'd left it, turns out the leash keychain I gave him from the lost and find bag in the tennis booth, turned out to have the keys that belonged to the tennis customer
	12:18pm HyperDose: Howdy, Jason in H-Town!
	👻 12:18pm Jason from Houston: Don't throw anything away, chresti. Ever. LOL
	👻 12:19pm joe mulligan: that's a good one @chresti! even the found part was because of a lost. so keep losing folks!
	12:19pm Planet Tyler: That Steve Gunn is only a day old! Thanks for playing it. Just bought it.
	👻 12:19pm Jason from Houston: Good greetings, HyperDose!

	12:25pm terminalhipness: Don and Phil and Don and Susie
	12:25pm chresti: Jason, the bag has stuff in there that are from as far back as 2011
	12:27pm chresti: Hi Little Danny crow!
	12:28pm tim from washington: I wonder what this sounds like when more than 1 person listens.
	12:28pm HyperDose: Oh wow, everyone's here!
	12:30pm luka: nice to hear you JA
	12:31pm Little Danny: hi chresti! caw caw!
	12:31pm tim from washington: I thought this might have been the Melvins cover of Brainiac from their new record.
	12:31pm chresti: Hi HyperD! Thanks Joe!
	12:37pm bobobob: lou reed imitator..shame on their bs
	12:37pm Little Danny: this is excellent
	12:38pm bobobob: it's a dwindle spindle..
	👻 12:38pm karlward: Thought the Lou Reed record was Transformer
	👻 12:39pm Handy Haversack: JfA in the PfM! Nice treat! Sorry I'm late. Dog. Walk. Stuff.
	👻 12:40pm Jason from Houston: WHOOOOOA
	👻 12:40pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	12:40pm DonJuanTijuana: Love Peter Jefferies! Thx for playing this
	12:43pm tim from washington: Wow! I looked up On An Unknown Beach because I thought it was an Eno cover. Instead I found this really cool NZ doc featuring Bruce Russell of Dead C. The song is related to the film too. www.nzonscreen.com...
	👻 12:46pm karlward: Andrew_in_WI: here is the jazz
	👻 12:46pm karlward: Everybody sing
	👻 12:47pm karlward: If living is without jazz
	12:51pm tim from washington: Cool. I saw Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band open for Osees in September. I didn't really dig them live because they sounded just like Osees. I REALLY like this song though!
	12:53pm John Allen: karl loaded for bare
	👻 12:54pm karlward: Bobby Bare? Jr? Which one? WHICH ONE
	👻 1:00pm karlward: Does anyone else remember those Choose Your Own Jazz books? My favorite was that one where you are confronted with three doors: one labeled "Miles, etc." (but it's crossed out--what does that mean?), a second labeled "not jazz," and a third with no sign on the door at all. You have to choose one. But (SPOILER) all three led to a Marty Robbins concert. Like not a description of a Marty Robbins concert, but an actual Marty Robbins concert. Robbins does some jazz standards in the show, sure, but then there was no way out of that book once you picked one of those doors. I am in that book right now.
	👻 1:02pm Handy Haversack: karlward, just read it in order, cover to cover. Then the fanny pack expands, and your mind is the fanny pack, and all the endings are JAZZ.
	1:02pm Marie: Really enjoying the show, thanks, John
	👻 1:05pm karlward: Handy: I don't know man, it's hard to read with Marty just blaring over me, right now it's a vaguely Hawaiian / jazz rendition of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" that just makes no sense.
	1:05pm chresti: Kid Congo!
	1:07pm tim from washington: I stepped away for a few minutes. Did I miss Kid Congo?
	1:12pm Marie: This is really cool
	1:14pm chresti: tim you missed ja saying his name, I missed everything because of some tennis related failure
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: Good morning John Allen and AMicans
	1:32pm Avrilinmay: 'glad' is not even the right word to describe it. It is more a feeling of simply the most natural thing you need being in one's life again, by now. So glad :D to find you back live. And going through the archives has kept me from losing my sanity over the last weeks. Grateful to no end
	1:38pm morphe': chresti: "Kid Congo!" Made me think of Kidd Creole of GrandMaster Flash +5 [Not Kid of the Coconuts] https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/aug/03/grandmaster-flash-kidd-creole-murder "He has been held, without trial, since early August 2017." https://thesource.com/2021/03/03/kidd-creole-tells-his-side-of-the-story-for-the-first-time-since-being-charged-with-murder/
	👻 1:41pm joe mulligan: this i can't sing has a nice MRI kind of beat to it.
	1:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Somebody in the last show asked "my kid wants to know WFMU's first song. I believe one of the very early forum members from the 60's told me it was a Rotary Connection song, possibly Rotary Connection itself? Please pass that along if you remember who asked that?
	1:47pm chresti: cheese louise this song
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: but rotary connection didn't exist 'till about 10 years after wfmu started playing music.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: (8 years?)
	👻 1:50pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela!
	1:50pm Little Danny: it certainly wasn't Rotary Connection
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: heyhey Handy!
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: i'm guessing it was johnny b. goode
	1:53pm tim from washington: @coelacanth @1:48 - that shows just far ahead of the times WFMU was,
	1:54pm Little Danny: hehe tim i like that
	1:55pm chresti: morphe' I shout out kid congo every time I hear his name, Franco grew up with him. Sad sad about Kidd Creole
	1:55pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Little Danny-this guy said that it was Rotary Connection and it was WMFU as it actually is now as a college radio station. I KNOW WFMU started in 1957 but was it the same WFMU As it is today? This guy (whose name escapes me sorry) told me as such. Make of that what you will. Any FMU historians here? Ken?
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: well if they were really ahead of their time they'd have played summertime blues by Eddie Cocheran!
	1:57pm tim from washington: Holy shit Franco Twinkie grew up with Kid Congo?!? Kid Congo is the epitome of cool in my book. He's made a lot of great music over the years but I think the Pink Monkey Birds is his best stuff yet.
	1:58pm HyperDose: I think Franco Twinkie is the epitome of cool in all our books!
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: it's wfmu as wfmu evolved. upsala campus station> listener sponsored station on upsala campus> moved to jersey city...
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: it still had ties with upsala throughout the 60s and at least into the 70s, besides being housed there.
	2:02pm morphe': First FMU Show: I posted this the other day from LCD 21[FMU Mag - link below] " 1. April 24, 1958: WFMU's first ever broadcast. Nothing is known about it. For its first ten years, WFMU serves Upsala College students, broadcasting lectures, Lutheran services, classical music, jazz and international music." https://wfmu.org/LCD/21/timeline.html
	2:04pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think the guy was alluding to listener sponsered ON Upsala campus. What years would that be? He seemed to intimate it was the late 60's but I could be wrong.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: maybe Irwin knows what the first broadcast was about
	👻 2:06pm YETI BOB: wooohoo jazzy JA fill-in! wishing i had tuned in sooner but lunch was necessary.
	2:08pm morphe': Again LCD is/was from FMU - imagine Irwin had input: https://wfmu.org/LCD/21/timeline.html
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: i think it was indeed the late 60s...so rotary connection is possible. i'm sure the broadcasts had evolved before that though, to include contemporary music
	👻 2:09pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	👻 2:09pm Jason from Houston: Gah... This is sooooo fine.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: ah -november 1967, Vin Skelsa
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks morphe'
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: but still i'm curious what the first music played was, in 1958
	2:14pm morphe': coelacanth∅: but still i'm curious what the first music played was, in 1958" I think we are all in agreement !!! May not have been music???
	2:20pm morphe': WFMU History -1998?? Nervious Nelly MotherKen yells at Morphe' while VOLpainting Montgomery St, saying: "you do not know how to use a paint roller." Morphe' defends himself and lists all the painting jobs he has had to do to put food scraps on his child's dinner plate. Ken later says: "Thanks... Good Job.." MotherNerviousNellyKen !!!!
	2:21pm johnec: Tim @1:53 - Genius comment. That gave me a good laugh, thanks
	2:21pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think the listener I was corresponding with was referring to first FREEFORM show11/4/67 per your timeline.
	👻 2:21pm YETI BOB: If you can travel faster than the speed of light, you could go 63 light-years out and catch the fading remnamts of the waves from WFMU's first broadcast.
	👻 2:22pm YETI BOB: Short of doing that, I think we'll never know!
	👻 2:22pm Handy Haversack: It's the most efficient method, YB.
	👻 2:22pm karlward: YETI BOB: I'll drive
	2:22pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Rotary Connection formed in 66, could have been an advanced copy or promo?
	👻 2:24pm karlward: We'll get all the way out there, 63 LY, and Handy will already be there, folding WFMU t-shirts, cocktail in hand--I wanna say that's an Aviation in his hand?
	👻 2:25pm Jason from Houston: Got my foot on the chicken brake, karlward. Let's go.
	👻 2:25pm karlward: I am mistaken, it's a Paper Plane that Handy is drinking
	👻 2:26pm karlward: It was an honest mistake, anyone could have made it
	👻 2:26pm Handy Haversack: Not a lot of light out here, karlward.
	👻 2:26pm YETI BOB: Karlward: I have to try that cocktail now! Sounds great. Created for "The Violet Hour" in Chicago! (Excellent cocktail bar not far from my house)
	2:27pm morphe': Yeti - there is/was? a seriously intelligent/crazy bike shop owner in New Paltz NY (college town) who preached about riding a bike puts you in the future at yer present age hence ya live longer - something like that... works for me ... if I shave, nobody believes I am 60. If I do not shave, kids in our local Madrid park tell Simon (10 y/o) .. yer GrandDa is really good at football....
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: morphe', the first music played on wfmu (in 1958) was indeed music
	👻 2:27pm karlward: That's not a chicken brake that's Zummo's trombone, careful where you step, we have to bring that back with us
	👻 2:28pm YETI BOB: A favorite of mine is "La Ultima Palabra", which is the Last Word with Mezcal replacing the gin - highly recommended
	👻 2:29pm YETI BOB: yeah morphe' - bikes are the best. i need to get out on mine, these last few years i've been spending too much time sitting still and not enough time cycling around town. it's good for you in so many ways.
	👻 2:29pm karlward: I'm partial to the ABCD, A Basil Cucumber Drink. Muddled basil leaves and cucumber slices, fresh lime juice and simple syrup.
	👻 2:30pm Handy Haversack: Not sure my local stocks Amaro Nonino. Will have to look around.
	👻 2:30pm YETI BOB: karlward: add some booze to that and you might really have something!
	2:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I FOUND the conversation I had with the guy. His avatar is a TR3 and I will not divulge his real name, but I WILL reprint this for you historians. He asserts Vin Scelsa played entire Rotary Connection Album..."Vin Scelsa's first broadcast included broadcasting Rotary Connection's first album, "Rotary Connection" in its entirety and I happened to have tuned into the station by sheer happenstance. That's when I got hooked onto the station. Sixteen years later, a guy in Brooklyn was scanning HIS radio dial looking for something different, and stopped when he heard the first Rotary Connection album playing in its entirety. The station is WFMU and the Brooklynite became DJ Stan. In other words, both dj Stan and I had the exact same 1st experience with WFMU. I heard FMU play it when the album was just released in '67 and Stan heard FMU play it 16 years later. I think that story is spectacularly amazing, like too amazing, like unbelievable! But that's what Stan told me and that's what I remember hearing back when I was 14 years old."
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: there are 2 bicycle shops in new paltz. i'll guess it's the "bicycle stand" owner.
	👻 2:33pm karlward: YETI BOB: oh I put gin in it. Going forward let's be clear, if I don't say otherwise, I put gin and Joy Division into everything.
	👻 2:33pm karlward: Gin, gin will tear us apart, a gin
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: Stan wouldn't fib
	👻 2:34pm YETI BOB: Karlward: There's a cucumber/basil/sake drink I'm fond of
	2:34pm terminalhipness: Meanwhile, this tree-o is hitting a nice lil groove
	👻 2:35pm YETI BOB: I've got a few more hours of work, but now I want a cocktail. Thanks guys!
	2:36pm chresti: On zee corner with ja!
	2:36pm morphe': Good food/wine,cycling, music, beer, swimming, beer, hiking, beer..a healthy life. Yuel Gibbins[sp?] ate Grape nuts[allegedly - maybe just sold them]and died fairly young..
	2:37pm Toutevoix: milester moles divas cool
	👻 2:38pm YETI BOB: a.k.a. "Black Satin"
	👻 2:38pm Handy Haversack: I have to take the kittens to the vet -- by bus! I better keep my wits about me. But when I get back, it's 63 light-years of gin. And Joy Division.
	👻 2:38pm karlward: Joy Divisgin
	👻 2:38pm YETI BOB: Safe travels with the Bros. Squirm!
	2:39pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of dranks, I could use one. Been reading training documents all day. Eyeballs fallin' out.
	2:39pm morphe': Good Luck Handy and the Gizmos Bros !!!
	2:40pm rsj: i heard the cos is out of jail, on the loose
	👻 2:43pm Handy Haversack: Ah! Le mot juste!
	2:45pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): There must be a WhackJazz version of "Up, Up, and Away" out there.
	2:47pm morphe': WoodsNH - [for later] Hugh Masekela: "UP UP ANA AWAY.""" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTUpZ2-RQdM
	2:49pm tim from washington: Thanks for the great show today, JA! A little disappointed that there was no Herbie Mannheim Steamroller jazz but that's OK.
	2:52pm morphe': Yes Thanks JA and all ... waiting for the next JA ShinDig !!!!
	2:53pm chresti: Thanks JA!
	👻 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Great to have you back, JA! Thanks! Till the next ride of the Gin Division!
	2:54pm Monica: Thx JA in the AM in Exile.
	2:54pm johnec: Thank you JA!
	2:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Great show JA. I hope the home repairs are going well.
	2:55pm Dave R: JA in the PM! what a wonderful surprise!
	👻 2:55pm karlward: I don't like that the show is ending. I think you should all reconsider.
	2:56pm terminalhipness: JA - always a pleasure, thanks!
	👻 2:57pm Jason from Houston: Great goddamn show. Many thanks, JA. Stay safe and sweet, buddies.
	👻 2:57pm chris_in_space: Hope to see you back on the regular schedule soon, JA. It's been a treat today. Miss your regular weirdness.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from November 3, 2021

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	👻 12:19pm Jason from Houston: Good greetings, HyperDose!
	12:20pm tim from washington: @chresti - I admire you long game tenacity on waiting for the right moment several years down the road to give the leash and keys back. ;)
	12:21pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Steve Gunn always delivers.
	12:21pm Little Danny: hi John, hi peepl
	12:22pm morphe': Thinking of Mild Sun Ra and also Pharaoh Sanders... Thanks JA !!!!!!
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YAY JOHNNY ALLEN ! ...WILL be back to catch Archive probly in a week, cause catch MaryWing in this timeslot. But gotta say HULLO & come back a lot & such.
	👻 12:24pm adampsyche: what's that i hear in the background!
	12:25pm terminalhipness: Don and Phil and Don and Susie
	12:25pm chresti: Jason, the bag has stuff in there that are from as far back as 2011
	12:27pm chresti: Hi Little Danny crow!
	12:28pm tim from washington: I wonder what this sounds like when more than 1 person listens.
	12:28pm HyperDose: Oh wow, everyone's here!
	12:30pm luka: nice to hear you JA
	12:31pm Little Danny: hi chresti! caw caw!
	12:31pm tim from washington: I thought this might have been the Melvins cover of Brainiac from their new record.
	12:31pm chresti: Hi HyperD! Thanks Joe!
	12:37pm bobobob: lou reed imitator..shame on their bs
	12:37pm Little Danny: this is excellent
	12:38pm bobobob: it's a dwindle spindle..
	👻 12:38pm karlward: Thought the Lou Reed record was Transformer
	👻 12:39pm Handy Haversack: JfA in the PfM! Nice treat! Sorry I'm late. Dog. Walk. Stuff.
	👻 12:40pm Jason from Houston: WHOOOOOA
	👻 12:40pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	12:40pm DonJuanTijuana: Love Peter Jefferies! Thx for playing this
	12:43pm tim from washington: Wow! I looked up On An Unknown Beach because I thought it was an Eno cover. Instead I found this really cool NZ doc featuring Bruce Russell of Dead C. The song is related to the film too. www.nzonscreen.com...
	👻 12:46pm karlward: Andrew_in_WI: here is the jazz
	👻 12:46pm karlward: Everybody sing
	👻 12:47pm karlward: If living is without jazz
	12:51pm tim from washington: Cool. I saw Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band open for Osees in September. I didn't really dig them live because they sounded just like Osees. I REALLY like this song though!
	12:53pm John Allen: karl loaded for bare
	👻 12:54pm karlward: Bobby Bare? Jr? Which one? WHICH ONE
	👻 1:00pm karlward: Does anyone else remember those Choose Your Own Jazz books? My favorite was that one where you are confronted with three doors: one labeled "Miles, etc." (but it's crossed out--what does that mean?), a second labeled "not jazz," and a third with no sign on the door at all. You have to choose one. But (SPOILER) all three led to a Marty Robbins concert. Like not a description of a Marty Robbins concert, but an actual Marty Robbins concert. Robbins does some jazz standards in the show, sure, but then there was no way out of that book once you picked one of those doors. I am in that book right now.
	👻 1:02pm Handy Haversack: karlward, just read it in order, cover to cover. Then the fanny pack expands, and your mind is the fanny pack, and all the endings are JAZZ.
	1:02pm Marie: Really enjoying the show, thanks, John
	👻 1:05pm karlward: Handy: I don't know man, it's hard to read with Marty just blaring over me, right now it's a vaguely Hawaiian / jazz rendition of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" that just makes no sense.
	1:05pm chresti: Kid Congo!
	1:07pm tim from washington: I stepped away for a few minutes. Did I miss Kid Congo?
	1:12pm Marie: This is really cool
	1:14pm chresti: tim you missed ja saying his name, I missed everything because of some tennis related failure
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: Good morning John Allen and AMicans
	1:32pm Avrilinmay: 'glad' is not even the right word to describe it. It is more a feeling of simply the most natural thing you need being in one's life again, by now. So glad :D to find you back live. And going through the archives has kept me from losing my sanity over the last weeks. Grateful to no end
	1:38pm morphe': chresti: "Kid Congo!" Made me think of Kidd Creole of GrandMaster Flash +5 [Not Kid of the Coconuts] https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/aug/03/grandmaster-flash-kidd-creole-murder "He has been held, without trial, since early August 2017." https://thesource.com/2021/03/03/kidd-creole-tells-his-side-of-the-story-for-the-first-time-since-being-charged-with-murder/
	👻 1:41pm joe mulligan: this i can't sing has a nice MRI kind of beat to it.
	1:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Somebody in the last show asked "my kid wants to know WFMU's first song. I believe one of the very early forum members from the 60's told me it was a Rotary Connection song, possibly Rotary Connection itself? Please pass that along if you remember who asked that?
	1:47pm chresti: cheese louise this song
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: but rotary connection didn't exist 'till about 10 years after wfmu started playing music.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: (8 years?)
	👻 1:50pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela!
	1:50pm Little Danny: it certainly wasn't Rotary Connection
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: heyhey Handy!
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: i'm guessing it was johnny b. goode
	1:53pm tim from washington: @coelacanth @1:48 - that shows just far ahead of the times WFMU was,
	1:54pm Little Danny: hehe tim i like that
	1:55pm chresti: morphe' I shout out kid congo every time I hear his name, Franco grew up with him. Sad sad about Kidd Creole
	1:55pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Little Danny-this guy said that it was Rotary Connection and it was WMFU as it actually is now as a college radio station. I KNOW WFMU started in 1957 but was it the same WFMU As it is today? This guy (whose name escapes me sorry) told me as such. Make of that what you will. Any FMU historians here? Ken?
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: well if they were really ahead of their time they'd have played summertime blues by Eddie Cocheran!
	1:57pm tim from washington: Holy shit Franco Twinkie grew up with Kid Congo?!? Kid Congo is the epitome of cool in my book. He's made a lot of great music over the years but I think the Pink Monkey Birds is his best stuff yet.
	1:58pm HyperDose: I think Franco Twinkie is the epitome of cool in all our books!
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: it's wfmu as wfmu evolved. upsala campus station> listener sponsored station on upsala campus> moved to jersey city...
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: it still had ties with upsala throughout the 60s and at least into the 70s, besides being housed there.
	2:02pm morphe': First FMU Show: I posted this the other day from LCD 21[FMU Mag - link below] " 1. April 24, 1958: WFMU's first ever broadcast. Nothing is known about it. For its first ten years, WFMU serves Upsala College students, broadcasting lectures, Lutheran services, classical music, jazz and international music." https://wfmu.org/LCD/21/timeline.html
	2:04pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think the guy was alluding to listener sponsered ON Upsala campus. What years would that be? He seemed to intimate it was the late 60's but I could be wrong.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: maybe Irwin knows what the first broadcast was about
	👻 2:06pm YETI BOB: wooohoo jazzy JA fill-in! wishing i had tuned in sooner but lunch was necessary.
	2:08pm morphe': Again LCD is/was from FMU - imagine Irwin had input: https://wfmu.org/LCD/21/timeline.html
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: i think it was indeed the late 60s...so rotary connection is possible. i'm sure the broadcasts had evolved before that though, to include contemporary music
	👻 2:09pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	👻 2:09pm Jason from Houston: Gah... This is sooooo fine.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: ah -november 1967, Vin Skelsa
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks morphe'
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: but still i'm curious what the first music played was, in 1958
	2:14pm morphe': coelacanth∅: but still i'm curious what the first music played was, in 1958" I think we are all in agreement !!! May not have been music???
	2:20pm morphe': WFMU History -1998?? Nervious Nelly MotherKen yells at Morphe' while VOLpainting Montgomery St, saying: "you do not know how to use a paint roller." Morphe' defends himself and lists all the painting jobs he has had to do to put food scraps on his child's dinner plate. Ken later says: "Thanks... Good Job.." MotherNerviousNellyKen !!!!
	2:21pm johnec: Tim @1:53 - Genius comment. That gave me a good laugh, thanks
	2:21pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think the listener I was corresponding with was referring to first FREEFORM show11/4/67 per your timeline.
	👻 2:21pm YETI BOB: If you can travel faster than the speed of light, you could go 63 light-years out and catch the fading remnamts of the waves from WFMU's first broadcast.
	👻 2:22pm YETI BOB: Short of doing that, I think we'll never know!
	👻 2:22pm Handy Haversack: It's the most efficient method, YB.
	👻 2:22pm karlward: YETI BOB: I'll drive
	2:22pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Rotary Connection formed in 66, could have been an advanced copy or promo?
	👻 2:24pm karlward: We'll get all the way out there, 63 LY, and Handy will already be there, folding WFMU t-shirts, cocktail in hand--I wanna say that's an Aviation in his hand?
	👻 2:25pm Jason from Houston: Got my foot on the chicken brake, karlward. Let's go.
	👻 2:25pm karlward: I am mistaken, it's a Paper Plane that Handy is drinking
	👻 2:26pm karlward: It was an honest mistake, anyone could have made it
	👻 2:26pm Handy Haversack: Not a lot of light out here, karlward.
	👻 2:26pm YETI BOB: Karlward: I have to try that cocktail now! Sounds great. Created for "The Violet Hour" in Chicago! (Excellent cocktail bar not far from my house)
	2:27pm morphe': Yeti - there is/was? a seriously intelligent/crazy bike shop owner in New Paltz NY (college town) who preached about riding a bike puts you in the future at yer present age hence ya live longer - something like that... works for me ... if I shave, nobody believes I am 60. If I do not shave, kids in our local Madrid park tell Simon (10 y/o) .. yer GrandDa is really good at football....
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: morphe', the first music played on wfmu (in 1958) was indeed music
	👻 2:27pm karlward: That's not a chicken brake that's Zummo's trombone, careful where you step, we have to bring that back with us
	👻 2:28pm YETI BOB: A favorite of mine is "La Ultima Palabra", which is the Last Word with Mezcal replacing the gin - highly recommended
	👻 2:29pm YETI BOB: yeah morphe' - bikes are the best. i need to get out on mine, these last few years i've been spending too much time sitting still and not enough time cycling around town. it's good for you in so many ways.
	👻 2:29pm karlward: I'm partial to the ABCD, A Basil Cucumber Drink. Muddled basil leaves and cucumber slices, fresh lime juice and simple syrup.
	👻 2:30pm Handy Haversack: Not sure my local stocks Amaro Nonino. Will have to look around.
	👻 2:30pm YETI BOB: karlward: add some booze to that and you might really have something!
	2:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I FOUND the conversation I had with the guy. His avatar is a TR3 and I will not divulge his real name, but I WILL reprint this for you historians. He asserts Vin Scelsa played entire Rotary Connection Album..."Vin Scelsa's first broadcast included broadcasting Rotary Connection's first album, "Rotary Connection" in its entirety and I happened to have tuned into the station by sheer happenstance. That's when I got hooked onto the station. Sixteen years later, a guy in Brooklyn was scanning HIS radio dial looking for something different, and stopped when he heard the first Rotary Connection album playing in its entirety. The station is WFMU and the Brooklynite became DJ Stan. In other words, both dj Stan and I had the exact same 1st experience with WFMU. I heard FMU play it when the album was just released in '67 and Stan heard FMU play it 16 years later. I think that story is spectacularly amazing, like too amazing, like unbelievable! But that's what Stan told me and that's what I remember hearing back when I was 14 years old."
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: there are 2 bicycle shops in new paltz. i'll guess it's the "bicycle stand" owner.
	👻 2:33pm karlward: YETI BOB: oh I put gin in it. Going forward let's be clear, if I don't say otherwise, I put gin and Joy Division into everything.
	👻 2:33pm karlward: Gin, gin will tear us apart, a gin
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: Stan wouldn't fib
	👻 2:34pm YETI BOB: Karlward: There's a cucumber/basil/sake drink I'm fond of
	2:34pm terminalhipness: Meanwhile, this tree-o is hitting a nice lil groove
	👻 2:35pm YETI BOB: I've got a few more hours of work, but now I want a cocktail. Thanks guys!
	2:36pm chresti: On zee corner with ja!
	2:36pm morphe': Good food/wine,cycling, music, beer, swimming, beer, hiking, beer..a healthy life. Yuel Gibbins[sp?] ate Grape nuts[allegedly - maybe just sold them]and died fairly young..
	2:37pm Toutevoix: milester moles divas cool
	👻 2:38pm YETI BOB: a.k.a. "Black Satin"
	👻 2:38pm Handy Haversack: I have to take the kittens to the vet -- by bus! I better keep my wits about me. But when I get back, it's 63 light-years of gin. And Joy Division.
	👻 2:38pm karlward: Joy Divisgin
	👻 2:38pm YETI BOB: Safe travels with the Bros. Squirm!
	2:39pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Speaking of dranks, I could use one. Been reading training documents all day. Eyeballs fallin' out.
	2:39pm morphe': Good Luck Handy and the Gizmos Bros !!!
	2:40pm rsj: i heard the cos is out of jail, on the loose
	👻 2:43pm Handy Haversack: Ah! Le mot juste!
	2:45pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): There must be a WhackJazz version of "Up, Up, and Away" out there.
	2:47pm morphe': WoodsNH - [for later] Hugh Masekela: "UP UP ANA AWAY.""" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTUpZ2-RQdM
	2:49pm tim from washington: Thanks for the great show today, JA! A little disappointed that there was no Herbie Mannheim Steamroller jazz but that's OK.
