	2:15pm Dan from Peekskill: Hi Dennis. Sorry I missed you last Friday, but Covid fears have me skipping events right now (including forfeiting Broadway matinee tickets for today). I'm relieved that the Sony Hall date got rescheduled. Even more sorry that Ronnie is gone and done broke all our hearts.
	2:15pm MOM WHIG: Hey there Dan from P
	2:16pm Reechie: Just finding out about the Detroit Cobras...too late, unfortunately.

	2:22pm Candy-O'67: I'm walking pup right now in jeans and kinda hot!😅
	2:22pm MOM WHIG: Denny - I LUV these back stories!

	2:25pm Daisy: Hi Dennis!
	2:26pm MOM WHIG: Daisy good to see you
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: welcome, Daisy!
	2:27pm Jon Graboff: does Joey Dee say much about his relationship with Morris Levy at Roulette?
	2:29pm Dennis Diken: @Jon - yes, a bit
	2:29pm Jon Graboff: Is Joey still alive as a result? Heh
	2:30pm Reechie: Every time they sing "Come on baby, let's go downtown", I expect the next line to be "Take it away John Cameron Cameron..."
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Grabogff - yes...but Morris isn't
	2:31pm Gene C: Jimmy Wright tenor saxophone "I Want You to be My Girl". Great upright bass, too.
	2:32pm Nezrok: Hi y'all!
	2:33pm Jon Graboff: I remember a mutual friend of ours who worked for Morris telling me about Morris bragging to him about calling his "friends" at the Teamsters Union about having delivery problems delaying record deliveries from labels that had the same big release dates that would complete with records Morris had and interest in!
	2:36pm jgeis: all usual...great tunes are spinnin'!
	2:39pm MOM WHIG: hi jgeis
	2:40pm Daniel B Lilienfeld: BIg D! Sounds awesome! JG told me to tune in, said it was very Ronnie centric lol - Keep the music spinning!! -Dan
	2:41pm Wenzo Toad: cool set so far!! going out of range sadly... gonna listen to last week’s show in the archive while I work out in the park...
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - I recall hearing an interview with Jimmy Wright on Don K Reed's Doo-Wop Shop! hey nezrock!
	2:43pm Wenzo Toad: peace y’all!
	2:43pm Gene C: Ahhh WCBS memories. The Doo Wop Shop and Jack Spector's "Sat Nt Sock Hop" formed my NYC R&B consciousness!
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - you're kidding!
	2:45pm Kevin: Jimmy Wright was THE saxman on NYC vocal group discs. Hi everybody.
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - not kidding and doubt Morris was.
	2:45pm myron feld: @Gene C: and Gus Gossert's show, too!
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: hey jgeis! thanks for tuning in Wenzo Todd! Daniel B - alright!
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Kevin - indeed! on that WCBS FM interview he gave out his phone #! @myron - Gus Gossert's show was the bomb! there were several other NYC doo wop shows on the air in the early 70s
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - I knew more about doo wop in 1971 than I do now - I forget most of what I learned back then! there were so many scholarly programs and I ate it all up! there was another college radio show with Bobby-O and Jivin' Joe, which I dug.
	2:53pm MOM WHIG: Denny - loving your selections today - thanks
	2:53pm Gene C: The mostly wonderful "Wrecking Crew" documentary unfortunately left the wrong impression on too many casual fans regarding Beach Boys sessions.
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - indeed, The Beach Boys played on so many of their own seminal sessions - and David Marks' playing was integral to their early sound
	2:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for this wonderful show Dennis....
	2:58pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here TODD
	2:58pm Dominick: Digging into my stash of Spector session tapes, I was surprised to hear the backing track of "Boys Can Tell" is in stereo! There's a male vocal in the "Be My Baby" BG as well.
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Todd-o-phonic Todd - I appreciate it! your show on Saturday was theee best!!
	2:59pm Nezrok: Great shows with Ronnie!
	3:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Dennis! Hi MOM!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @Nezrock - thanks! hey, I dug "Trite"!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick - wow, wonder who the male voice is on "BMB" - those background vocals kill me!!
	3:02pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Beautiful, Dennis.
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Sisso - good you made it here LUV this DOO-WOP
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @Sissophonic - thanks doll, it means a lot!
	3:04pm Dominick: @Dennis - Maybe Bobby Sheen?
	3:05pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - male voice on BMB: Sonny Bono? Sounds like him.
	3:07pm Nezrok: Thanks Dennis!
	3:08pm Melanie Thiel: Streaming at work, great show as always Den!
	3:08pm MOM WHIG: And the HITS keep coming....
	3:08pm AnnapolisSteve: Thank you Dennis. Your and TOPT's Ronnie Spector trubutes bring out a little sunshine this week.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick and Jon G - maybe?? though I doubt it's Sonny, after I think about it a few beats....
	3:09pm Nezrok: Baby I Love You. I was actually introduced to this song by the Andy Kim version - LOL
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: Hi AnnapolisSteve--sunny here in Northern VA 48
	3:10pm Dennis Diken: hey AnnapolisSteve!
	3:10pm Gene C: Have always heard it was Sonny. However, there is at least one other male voice doing the bass vocal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UUZkj7xeVI
	3:10pm Hackensack Slim: Beautiful. Thanks DD
	3:13pm Reechie: Whoever paired up Ronnie & MC was a genius!
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - heh!? hey Hackensack Slim - thank you!
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Hi there Hackensack Slim glad you made it here
	3:16pm myron feld: It's pretty difficult if not impossible to pull off a cover of "I'm So Young" but Brian and the Boys sure did.
	3:16pm Jon Graboff: @Gene C - listening to the isolated vocals, I had this immediate reaction that it was Sonny's voice. I tend to trust those first impressions… sometimes!
	3:16pm Joe W.: Love The Beach Boys version of Can’t Marry No One. Thanks for honoring a truly extraordinary artist Dennis!
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: One of the many things that I found so cool about Ronnie is that she kept her fandom of acts like The Students and The Teenagers burning with just as much passion in adulthood that she had for them as a kid.
	3:18pm daveM: great show Dennis!
	3:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Dennis: While listening, I was thinking maybe Nino Tempo for BMB backing, though Bobby Sheen is a great guess. Def not Sonny — he'd be easy to pick out.
	3:19pm MOM WHIG: Hi there daveM Hey there Joe W
	3:19pm Hackensack Slim: Hey Mom, Thanks. Same to you.
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld @Joe W - I almost played the Beach Boys version of "I'm So Young" - wanted to play Ronettes' take too...Ronnie sang it live pretty much every show I played with her!
	3:22pm medson: Hey Dennis sounding great. Those Ronnie tracks are bringing back lots of memories of people in my life. Some here some no longer with us. Thanks for this.
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: hi there medson
	3:23pm Joe W.: Makes sense Dennis. The Ronettes version is also great.
	3:26pm Dominick: Between the tribute shows and my own personal listening over the last week, the emotional touchstones I have with this material have torn a hole in me. I'll be OK, just not now.
	3:26pm Reechie: Man, we really lost something when music stopped sounding like this!
	3:29pm MOM WHIG: Dom - I'm with you - too many GREATS leaving us lately -- I've got my box of Kleenix by my side.
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: I think that Phil Spector's "wall of sound" was obnoxious and disrespectful of the artist. Phone line are open. Ha!
	3:29pm Mike Sin: Hi Dennis -- Very much enjoying this tribute. I never really explored the tracks recorded Buddah -- How much was recorded there?
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @Todd - so true!
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: Hi there Mike
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @davem - thanks, pal! @Gaylord - good guess! @medson - thanks so much!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick - boy, I hear you!
	3:39pm Joe W.: Thank you Dennis for another wonderful show. These two hours are always a highlight of my week!
	3:39pm Dennis Diken: @jon Graboff - you mean like this track -"Everything Under the Sun"?
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Mike Sin - I need to check those out too! thanks for tuning in! @Joe W - thanks!
	3:41pm Jon Graboff: @ Dennis - let me clarify. It certainly worked great on some songs, BMB being a prime example, but trying to apply it to every song and every artist was more about Phil than the song or the artist.
	3:41pm Gaylord Fields: "Ronnie" — perfecto, Dennis!
	3:42pm MOM WHIG: Yes way to go for this 4 Seasons tune - Ronnie!
	3:43pm Kitschy Mama: Great tribute today Dennis!
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @jon Graboff - I repeat - you mean like this track -"Everything Under the Sun"?
	3:44pm Dennis Diken: @Gaylord - thanks, man. hey Kitschy Mama - thanks for tuning in!
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - yeah. it kinda bugged me
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Denny - not time to go yet!!! LUVing this show today!
	3:45pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis... excellent show/tribute today!
	3:45pm Gene C: “When you see a Kubrick movie, you tell me how many times you immediately remember the cast,” he told Melody Maker in 1977. “One? Two? It’s the same with Fellini, and that’s what I wanted to do when I directed a recording. Singers are instruments. They are tools to be worked with.”
	3:46pm Kevin: A great show, all very thoughtful song choices. Thanks!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - agreed, more so on the later tracks, a la "River Deep..."
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: thanks LesleyK! @GeneC, heh! @Kevin, thanks very much! @MOM WHIG - muchos gracias!
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - " I'm with you"
	3:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: We are giving listeners an education with The Students, Dennis.
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @Todd - The Students will not be going to detention today!
	3:50pm Dominick: Thanks for a great show Dennis.
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick - thanks, pal!
	3:51pm Reechie: A show to remember! Treasure these people and songs, folks!
	3:51pm myron feld: Fantastic, heartfelt show, Dennis, and always love the break-ins!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: thanks Reechie and myron feld!!
	3:52pm JR HTX: Thanks for a great show and stories. I'll have to listen to this one again!
	3:53pm Jon Graboff: Great show. "you don't get deals like this anywhere"!
	3:53pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Dennis. Great tributes!
	3:54pm Dennis Diken: @JR HTX - obliged! @Jon Graboff - you got a deal! thanks Stillwell Coney Islander!
	3:54pm Dennis Diken: "THANKS SO MUCH, 'YON DENIZENS', FOR BEING HERE IN 'THE DEN' TODAY! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY! LONG LIVE RONNIE SPECTOR!"

	2:29pm Jon Graboff: Is Joey still alive as a result? Heh
	2:30pm Reechie: Every time they sing "Come on baby, let's go downtown", I expect the next line to be "Take it away John Cameron Cameron..."
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Grabogff - yes...but Morris isn't
	2:31pm Gene C: Jimmy Wright tenor saxophone "I Want You to be My Girl". Great upright bass, too.
	2:32pm Nezrok: Hi y'all!
	2:33pm Jon Graboff: I remember a mutual friend of ours who worked for Morris telling me about Morris bragging to him about calling his "friends" at the Teamsters Union about having delivery problems delaying record deliveries from labels that had the same big release dates that would complete with records Morris had and interest in!
	2:36pm jgeis: all usual...great tunes are spinnin'!
	2:39pm MOM WHIG: hi jgeis
	2:40pm Daniel B Lilienfeld: BIg D! Sounds awesome! JG told me to tune in, said it was very Ronnie centric lol - Keep the music spinning!! -Dan
	2:41pm Wenzo Toad: cool set so far!! going out of range sadly... gonna listen to last week’s show in the archive while I work out in the park...
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - I recall hearing an interview with Jimmy Wright on Don K Reed's Doo-Wop Shop! hey nezrock!
	2:43pm Wenzo Toad: peace y’all!
	2:43pm Gene C: Ahhh WCBS memories. The Doo Wop Shop and Jack Spector's "Sat Nt Sock Hop" formed my NYC R&B consciousness!
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - you're kidding!
	2:45pm Kevin: Jimmy Wright was THE saxman on NYC vocal group discs. Hi everybody.
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - not kidding and doubt Morris was.
	2:45pm myron feld: @Gene C: and Gus Gossert's show, too!
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: hey jgeis! thanks for tuning in Wenzo Todd! Daniel B - alright!
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Kevin - indeed! on that WCBS FM interview he gave out his phone #! @myron - Gus Gossert's show was the bomb! there were several other NYC doo wop shows on the air in the early 70s
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - I knew more about doo wop in 1971 than I do now - I forget most of what I learned back then! there were so many scholarly programs and I ate it all up! there was another college radio show with Bobby-O and Jivin' Joe, which I dug.
	2:53pm MOM WHIG: Denny - loving your selections today - thanks
	2:53pm Gene C: The mostly wonderful "Wrecking Crew" documentary unfortunately left the wrong impression on too many casual fans regarding Beach Boys sessions.
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - indeed, The Beach Boys played on so many of their own seminal sessions - and David Marks' playing was integral to their early sound
	2:57pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for this wonderful show Dennis....
	2:58pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here TODD
	2:58pm Dominick: Digging into my stash of Spector session tapes, I was surprised to hear the backing track of "Boys Can Tell" is in stereo! There's a male vocal in the "Be My Baby" BG as well.
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Todd-o-phonic Todd - I appreciate it! your show on Saturday was theee best!!
	2:59pm Nezrok: Great shows with Ronnie!
	3:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Dennis! Hi MOM!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @Nezrock - thanks! hey, I dug "Trite"!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick - wow, wonder who the male voice is on "BMB" - those background vocals kill me!!
	3:02pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Beautiful, Dennis.
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Sisso - good you made it here LUV this DOO-WOP
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @Sissophonic - thanks doll, it means a lot!
	3:04pm Dominick: @Dennis - Maybe Bobby Sheen?
	3:05pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - male voice on BMB: Sonny Bono? Sounds like him.
	3:07pm Nezrok: Thanks Dennis!
	3:08pm Melanie Thiel: Streaming at work, great show as always Den!
	3:08pm MOM WHIG: And the HITS keep coming....
	3:08pm AnnapolisSteve: Thank you Dennis. Your and TOPT's Ronnie Spector trubutes bring out a little sunshine this week.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick and Jon G - maybe?? though I doubt it's Sonny, after I think about it a few beats....
	3:09pm Nezrok: Baby I Love You. I was actually introduced to this song by the Andy Kim version - LOL
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: Hi AnnapolisSteve--sunny here in Northern VA 48
	3:10pm Dennis Diken: hey AnnapolisSteve!
	3:10pm Gene C: Have always heard it was Sonny. However, there is at least one other male voice doing the bass vocal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UUZkj7xeVI
	3:10pm Hackensack Slim: Beautiful. Thanks DD
	3:13pm Reechie: Whoever paired up Ronnie & MC was a genius!
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: @Gene C - heh!? hey Hackensack Slim - thank you!
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Hi there Hackensack Slim glad you made it here
	3:16pm myron feld: It's pretty difficult if not impossible to pull off a cover of "I'm So Young" but Brian and the Boys sure did.
	3:16pm Jon Graboff: @Gene C - listening to the isolated vocals, I had this immediate reaction that it was Sonny's voice. I tend to trust those first impressions… sometimes!
	3:16pm Joe W.: Love The Beach Boys version of Can’t Marry No One. Thanks for honoring a truly extraordinary artist Dennis!
	3:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: One of the many things that I found so cool about Ronnie is that she kept her fandom of acts like The Students and The Teenagers burning with just as much passion in adulthood that she had for them as a kid.
	3:18pm daveM: great show Dennis!
	3:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Dennis: While listening, I was thinking maybe Nino Tempo for BMB backing, though Bobby Sheen is a great guess. Def not Sonny — he'd be easy to pick out.
	3:19pm MOM WHIG: Hi there daveM Hey there Joe W
	3:19pm Hackensack Slim: Hey Mom, Thanks. Same to you.
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld @Joe W - I almost played the Beach Boys version of "I'm So Young" - wanted to play Ronettes' take too...Ronnie sang it live pretty much every show I played with her!
	3:22pm medson: Hey Dennis sounding great. Those Ronnie tracks are bringing back lots of memories of people in my life. Some here some no longer with us. Thanks for this.
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: hi there medson
	3:23pm Joe W.: Makes sense Dennis. The Ronettes version is also great.
	3:26pm Dominick: Between the tribute shows and my own personal listening over the last week, the emotional touchstones I have with this material have torn a hole in me. I'll be OK, just not now.
	3:26pm Reechie: Man, we really lost something when music stopped sounding like this!
	3:29pm MOM WHIG: Dom - I'm with you - too many GREATS leaving us lately -- I've got my box of Kleenix by my side.
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: I think that Phil Spector's "wall of sound" was obnoxious and disrespectful of the artist. Phone line are open. Ha!
	3:29pm Mike Sin: Hi Dennis -- Very much enjoying this tribute. I never really explored the tracks recorded Buddah -- How much was recorded there?
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @Todd - so true!
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: Hi there Mike
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @davem - thanks, pal! @Gaylord - good guess! @medson - thanks so much!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: @Dominick - boy, I hear you!
	3:39pm Joe W.: Thank you Dennis for another wonderful show. These two hours are always a highlight of my week!
	3:39pm Dennis Diken: @jon Graboff - you mean like this track -"Everything Under the Sun"?
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Mike Sin - I need to check those out too! thanks for tuning in! @Joe W - thanks!
	3:41pm Jon Graboff: @ Dennis - let me clarify. It certainly worked great on some songs, BMB being a prime example, but trying to apply it to every song and every artist was more about Phil than the song or the artist.
	3:41pm Gaylord Fields: "Ronnie" — perfecto, Dennis!
	3:42pm MOM WHIG: Yes way to go for this 4 Seasons tune - Ronnie!
	3:43pm Kitschy Mama: Great tribute today Dennis!
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @jon Graboff - I repeat - you mean like this track -"Everything Under the Sun"?
	3:44pm Dennis Diken: @Gaylord - thanks, man. hey Kitschy Mama - thanks for tuning in!
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - yeah. it kinda bugged me
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Denny - not time to go yet!!! LUVing this show today!
	3:45pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis... excellent show/tribute today!
	3:45pm Gene C: “When you see a Kubrick movie, you tell me how many times you immediately remember the cast,” he told Melody Maker in 1977. “One? Two? It’s the same with Fellini, and that’s what I wanted to do when I directed a recording. Singers are instruments. They are tools to be worked with.”
	3:46pm Kevin: A great show, all very thoughtful song choices. Thanks!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - agreed, more so on the later tracks, a la "River Deep..."
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: thanks LesleyK! @GeneC, heh! @Kevin, thanks very much! @MOM WHIG - muchos gracias!
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - " I'm with you"
