	2:23pm Eric R: sing it Sal!
	2:24pm medson: Hey there Lesley.
	2:24pm Reechie: Loving that new Beau Brummels box set!
	2:26pm MOM WHIG: Eric good to have background tunes while working. Listener Baby, Andrew in T, Bob G - good you made it here
	2:27pm Jon Graboff: Geez. Is there anything better than an electric 12 string guitar?
	2:28pm captain mike: The Blue Shadows sound a lot like Blue Rodeo Dennis Toronto alt country power pop kinda
	2:28pm Kevin: Love the Blue Shadows(RIP B. Cowsill).
	2:30pm captain mike: Vancouver based rather than T.O. but sure similar
	2:32pm Dennis Diken: Listener Baby! Andrew in Toronto! Bob Gliniecki - hey! I'd have to go back and listen to answer. @Kevin - yes, the G&G track came out on ATCO in '66. @Jon G: - no. hey captain mike! @Reechie - yes, the Brummels box reigns!
	2:32pm MOM WHIG: hi capt mike
	2:34pm captain mike: Hi Mom Whig What about a wacky Waikiki Watusi winter?
	2:35pm myron feld: Those Dovells could rock the house!
	2:36pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - yes - and yes, again!
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - know much re Wayne Burdrick (pedal steel dude)?
	2:40pm captain mike: The one string Unitar can be mighty impressive too
	2:43pm Jon Graboff: Dennis: no I don't
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - he's on that Avalanches track, he played with Tex Williams in the '40s, couldn't find much else on him
	2:44pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there MOM WHIG!
	2:45pm Andrew in Toronto: The Blue Shadows is pretty hip!
	2:45pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: That was nice of Santa Claus!
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @Glynis GirlGroupGirl - hey! yeah, Santa's a pretty hip chick!
	2:48pm myron feld: In "Blow Up," the shots in the alley outside the club where the Yardbirds are playing feature posters for a Goldie & The Gingerbreads show.
	2:49pm MOM WHIG: hi to GGGG
	2:50pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hi MW
	2:51pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - news we can use!
	2:55pm Kevin: Sounds like Otis Spann on pro. on B.D cut.
	2:56pm Kevin: * piano
	3:00pm Listener Baby: @Jon Graboff. Did you play on the Dori Freeman tune, Cold Waves? I know you played on the album, but that song specifically?
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Denny thanks for the tunes ... gotta run for now
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - thanks for checking in! glad you could make it for a bit today!
	3:05pm Jon Graboff: @Listener Baby: yes I did.
	3:06pm medson: This one sounds so good.
	3:07pm Listener Baby: @Jon G. Stellar!! That tune makes me all kinds of happy. Is that your Pedal Steel mixed in so cleverly with the background vox?
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @medson - you will not get an argument from me!
	3:09pm Jon Graboff: @Listener Baby: I definitely played the main electric guitar part on that track but honestly don't remember playing any steel on it. If there is one there, than I guess it's me!
	3:12pm Listener Baby: I see. They did something to the background vox to make them un-earthly. Can quite figure what they did, as it's so subtle. Needless to say, nice work as usual.
	3:12pm Jon Graboff: Ahhh… the French!
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - dig it - Jon Graboff in the chat room - you can't deals like this just anywhere!
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: AND - he quotes Orson Welles, to boot!
	3:15pm Andrew Hollywood: 👽🎉👽
	3:15pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis Diken: "It's vintage dated"!
	3:16pm Listener Baby: @DD. You are correct sir. I was going to reach out to Jon, and your amazing show saved me the effort. I hate not knowing what someone did to a song, and I can't figure it out. Happy New year to you, Dennis, and to Jon. Sorry for taking up space, asking questions unrelated to the show. xox
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - balderdash! keep 'em comin'!
	3:19pm Listener Baby: Deal!
	3:20pm Jon Graboff: you don't hear "balderdash" every day. Huzzah!
	3:23pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - you'd surely hear it more often if you called more frequently!
	3:26pm Jon Graboff: @Hal Blaine: Ba-Doom!
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - we never got to visit Hal together, did we?
	3:28pm Jon Graboff: @ Dennis Diken; Was this Blaine track a "make is sound live" studio track or an actual live performance? If the latter, do you know where?
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: @ Dennis Diken: we talked about visiting with the great one many times but it just never happened. Alas
	3:29pm Listener Baby: Mrs. Miller inspired.
	3:30pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - fake live in studio on "Pinks," as is the entire Drums! Drums! a Go Go! LP @Listener Baby - very possibly!
	3:32pm myron feld: I was not a big fan of Pink's. Listener Baby, you hail from that area -- which was your hot dog stand of choice?
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - oh, give it another try. Oki Dog prob better tho....
	3:33pm Listener Baby: Wow. Tough question. Ah!! I know. Dodger Stadium. Or Pinks. A stomach ache is a stomach ache. Just depends where you want to be.
	3:35pm myron feld: Yes, I remember preferring Oki Dog. I'm more of a burger guy. Loved Astro Burger and Tommy's. Wonderful 3:00 AM drunk food. But those days are long gone.
	3:35pm Reechie: Geez Dennis, are you in my head? I was just thinking about "The Train From Kansas City" this afternoon!
	3:35pm Listener Baby: Um? Apple Pan?? Hello?
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: @Reechie - good deal!! @myron feld - the fact that Hal Blaine paid trib to Pink's ups its' ante exponentially! you guys dig The Original Pantry? that's my speed when in LA
	3:38pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis Diken: in my neck of the woods it was Nathan's. "none better"!
	3:41pm Listener Baby: Michael Shelley took me to Nathan's once. Formidable for sure.
	3:41pm myron feld: Haven't been to Los Angeles in a long time -- upon next journey, will conduct further research and report back to Den HQ.
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: in Carteret, NJ we had "Tommy Hot Dog" - still there, not far from the NJ Turnpike exit (12). in Clifton, NJ Rutt's Hut is pretty famous
	3:42pm myron feld: LOVE Rutt's Hut. Among the best.
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: ain't this Spring track the fwickin' best?!
	3:42pm Listener Baby: This tune is FAB< Denny. I've never heard it.
	3:43pm myron feld: I just checked and I have it!
	3:43pm Listener Baby: DD. You beat me to that by one second..
	3:43pm Jon Graboff: Of course there's the old NYC street dirty water dogs which a friend more comedically called "murkies"
	3:45pm Listener Baby: As is this one!
	3:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis Diken: who played the 5 guitars? Inquiring minds want to know!
	3:46pm Listener Baby: Sound like Al Caiola on guitar?
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - glad to be of service re: the Spring track; 4F cut this most likely in LA so prob not Al Caiola
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: A great Danko vocal! Love it!
	3:47pm Listener Baby: I bet your right. Sure had his tone.
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: happy birthday Rick Danko - wherever you are!
	3:49pm Listener Baby: Wherever you are indeed.
	3:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great year of shows!!
	3:54pm Dennis Diken: thank you, Andrew in Toronto!
	3:54pm Woo: Happy New Year Dennis and everybody and thank you again for opening up the den every week. It is much appreciated!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: bless your heart, Woo!
	3:55pm Listener Baby: What they all said, DD. Thanks for enriching us.
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: Listener Baby - you the man!
	3:56pm Jon Graboff: Happy new year DD and we shall speak soon!
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: “’YON DENIZENS’ – THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY PEA-PICKIN’ HEART FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT IN 2021! HERE’S TO 2022 – I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR AND ALWAYS! STAY SAFE, STAY BUSY, ALL GOOD WISHES! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!!”
