	9:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey even that GlennMiller had rippin' drums.

	🎸 ♥ 9:10am G: Beat me daddy eight to the bar
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am karlward: Marley you got to catch up, I hit three around 8 AM
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am Erin in TO: This set is exactly the pep I didn't know I needed this Monday morning
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am G: King Arthur was not a huge topic for big bands
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am Erin in TO: In my hometown, there's a pub named Your Father's Moustache
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am Marley P. Dogg: Karl - color me impressed
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am Erin in TO: Always wondered where they got that name
	9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The World Wars had the virtue of giving Society other things to worry about than what kinda AfricanAmerican Music forms people were grooving to... I put it to you - this ain't too far from ChuckBerry riffs... Otoh the War was a big gap in Recording History causes of bans on resources...
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am The Oscar: This music makes me want to dance around my living room like Leland Palmer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am Handy Haversack: Morning, Joe and everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am Erin in TO: @The Oscar as long as that's where the parallel with Leland stops, I think you're ok
	🎸 ♥ 9:14am YETI BOB: Hi Handy, how's everyone doing?
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am Son Of Pantz: My dance card is full this morning. 23 skidoo!
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Heya, folks, and welcome to the show! Feeling peppy this morning, as you can tell.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: A little overwhelmed on many fronts, YB, but we're getting by. How's Chicago?
	♥ 9:17am Phin The Hyooman: Morning, Everyone! :D
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am YETI BOB: We tried to throw a bonfire-in-the-yard party on Friday night and it SNOWED! Wound up having a few people for cocktails indoors by the fireplace. Springtime in Chicago, I tell ya! (And also I'm trying to trap a pregnant feral cat)
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Krys O.: Greetings!
	♥ 9:19am PigeonsAndRust: @RevRabbit The WWII gap owes to a recording ban from August '42 to November '44 because of a musicians strike. It started over royalties from jukebox play, as jukeboxes were edging live bands out of lots of smaller venues. en.m.wikipedia.org...
	9:20am rx scabin: Good morning, everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Strandlund: @The Oscar...HA HA!!
	9:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Pigeons&Rust: Most informative ! I thot it was War rationing / allocation to the War effort,,,
	♥ 9:26am common: good day joe, all
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am DjLorraine: What a pleasant suprise to wakeup in the grand ballroom with you big band folks
	♥ 9:27am PigeonsAndRust: @Rev Rabbit, nah, it was all because Petrillo had cajones! Another WWII rationing misconception was that there was a gas shortage...but nope, we were the world's biggest exporters! We didn't have rubber, however, so rationing plus a national 30 MPH speed limit were instituted to save our tires.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' The other major cause of the decline of the big bands was World War II itself—and the resulting loss of band members who were drafted, curtailment of traveling by touring bands because of gasoline rationing, and a shortage of the shellac used to make records '...
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Joe! Hi everyone! My Grandpa loves Big Band Music
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am yerfriendpaul: Loved your first set, Joe!
	♥ 9:29am PigeonsAndRust: @ Joe if you have $5 mil laying around you can buy one of the few remaining BIG band ballrooms www.google.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & greetings pop pickers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am PaulRobeson1920: A few days ago he called Benny Goodman “a young man.” LOL, I kid you not
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as I was ignorant that the Grande, home of the MC5, had that earlier history as well...
	♥ 9:34am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Really loved that first set. Especially glad I caught it because I have a feeling I'll be underground during Single File. Heading out in a few minutes to walk into Manhattan and to the subway so I can get some goat ricotta cheese and greens from the Union Square greenmarket to make a slow-cook lasagna tonight. The slow-cook homemade meat sauce is currently cooking. Using beef I got from the greenmarket. Well, I'll be listening on my portable radio anytime I'm above ground, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am The Oscar: My favorite Chinese restaurant in Boston is in an old converted Vaudeville hall. You can just sit in this huge ornate big-band ballroom and order $5 dim sum. It's surreal and amazing.
	9:35am P-90: I enjoyed the “music for Jumpers” guy too. Hi Joe.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The long Strike against Jukebox money is quite an intrigue of its own...
	♥ 9:35am PigeonsAndRust: @ Rev Rabbit While there was a shellac shortage, as lac beetles are from Asia, I still find lots and lots more WWII records in the wild than late 20s/ early 30s stuff. And it is true that the pressing quality is worse, due to the recycled shellac used. Another reason for the shortage of earlier records was that they had a slight recycling value during the war. Fun fact: when radio hit it big after '26 there was serious doubt the record industry would survive at all! Record sales were off hugely even before the Depression hit, and they didn't regain their 1926 peak until Ithink 1938!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Genesis. Just get it over with.
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ 1st Labels didn't want their Records on the Air ! Who would buy a Record you can hear on Radio ??...
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Hughie Considine: The F-word...
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @Woods: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: I have to read that book that DJ Sheila B read. I don't know much about early Genesis and honestly, none of that music does much for me for whatever reason.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am Son Of Pantz: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is pretty good.
	9:41am P-90: Everything up to “And Then There Were Three” is pretty good-to-amazing
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: I can pretty much find something I like in most stages of Genesis' career, from the first album to the last. But there are also things I don't much care for.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am Hughie Considine: The urban setting of "Lamb" always threw me. I preferred my Genesis to emanate from a forest glade.
	♥ 9:43am Joe McG: @Rosey: Glad I can accompany you on your journey to the market!
	9:43am P-90: Fleetwood Mac vibe on this
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: Whenever anything from this label is played, my entire childhood nods grimly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think my problem is that I just never liked Peter Gabriel's voice. It always seemed very cold to these ears, so nothing ever resonated.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and Yips in the sun.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Gabriel ! ...But that early Genesis supposed to be good I just never really crossed paths with somehow. When I hear it it's okay, but seems like KingCrimson that didn't reach puberty or something ...& later Genesis is just MTV Pop...
	9:47am KWilde: Paul McC tune
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so I could just be underinformed (again)...
	9:48am P-90: @Hughie: that’s spot-on about “Lamb’s” departure from the English countryside-y nursery rhymes and folk tales vibe that dominates the other pre-sellout Genesis albums. But even on “Lamb”, that urban setting is quickly left behind for an almost D&D-like series of traps and cages the hero has to pass through….
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that makes it sound intriguing...
	♥ 9:50am syddog: this is nice :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am JeremyB: Wow, Whitmore sisters - incredible- never heard of them, checking out their website now
	♥ 9:51am Thin Slice: Carolyn Hester helped Nanci Griffith get her start. I can hear the influence here.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @TSlice: I didn't know that!
	9:52am P-90: +1 for Whitmore Sisters! That track really made an impression
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Hughie Considine: @P-90, with that in mind, I'll have to return to it. I feel like I never saw it through to the end ...
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Brian in UK: Did Peter Gabriel ever dress up as a flopsy bunny?
	♥ 9:54am Polyus: I Loved a Lass aka The False Bride. I knew this was familiar from somewhere - so many of those old songs go by multiple titles.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am Son Of Pantz: @Brian when did he not???
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: "Flopsy Bunny" is a great song title. Esp. for this time of year.
	9:58am P-90: I’m listening on my phone, at first glance at the Chat on the screen in the sunlight, “Carolyn Hester” looked like “Charlton Heston”. For a split second, I was willing to give old Chuck props for helping her with her career…
	♥ 9:58am joe from montclair: love this record
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also help if Judy Henske & Carolyn Hester had names dissimilar as their voices ...quiz later...
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Brian in UK: @Polypus, here is a selection from Continental Subway. wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Son Of Pantz: Is this THE Karen Black? I didn't know she was a singer as well as an actress.
	10:01am Brendan: In the song I Loved a Lass the verse, And the men in the forest they ask it of me Saying "How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?" I answered them back with a tear in my eye "How many ships sail in the forest? … reminds me of a scene from All in the Family, where Meathead has left Gloria, and Edith consoles her with, “don’t worry there’s other fish in the wood pile”.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Hughie Considine: It is the very same Karen Black
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: Images from Cisco Pike appearing in my mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Son Of Pantz: She has a great voice.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: I loved her in "Nashville."
	♥ 10:05am Polyus: Olivia Chaney also does a lovely version of that song, which she says she learned from Alasdair Roberts.
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Distinctive even.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha, great line
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am Son Of Pantz: Five Easy Pieces for me, Joe.
	10:06am P-90: Yes, Karen is DIVINE in “Nashville”
	10:07am P-90: …and in “Five Easy Pieces, and pretty much everything
	♥ 10:07am Phillippe: Love this pneumatic tubes. Thanks for the introduction, Joe!
	♥ 10:07am Yes: good morning
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Yeah, it's hard to choose, you're right! I'm not much on the horror stuff, but I don't really like horror movies.
	10:07am rx scabin: I just watched a blue balloon tumble across the yard across the street as if it could hear this song.
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @rx: I love when real life syncs to our soundtrack.
	♥ 10:09am Thin Slice: Don't forget Karen Black's role as Judy Drinkwater in Capricorn One! ;-)
	♥ 10:09am the Hurston moor-elf: i just had a really unpleasant political argument with my sister who i'd not seen for several years. Still feeling a bit shaken, but it's SO comforting to hear your voice and musical selections on the radio, Joe. Thanks for being here.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: Happy to be, Hurston!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am Son Of Pantz: @the Hurston I walk on eggshells around my family, ever since "you know who" became prez. It's an unspoken rule to keep topics light.
	10:11am P-90: @Thin Slice:: Karen and Elliot Gould elevate “Capricorn One” to a whole different level than it would have been without them.
	♥ 10:12am Thin Slice: @P-90 :-)
	♥ 10:13am Phillippe: Here's a nice video of Karen Black singing Cass McComb's "Brighter", with him on guitar. There are many of her movie roles interspersed in the video vimeo.com...
	10:13am rx scabin: @Joe McG unless it is micah's show.
	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @rx: Ha ha ha! @Phillippe: Thanks for the clip!
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For real - it's been rough dissociating from people - family, artists, facebook friends - who've sided with the craycray ...it seems completely random & unpredictable sometimes...
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Son Of Pantz: It's amazing how polarizing social media has made everyone's beliefs. I wonder if it was similar when Gutenberg invented the press.
	♥ 10:19am scribble: Especially beautiful show today, Joe. Thank you 🪶
	♥ 10:19am Nikita: That song really took me somewhere. Far far away. Thanks Joe😊
	10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I tend to feel that 'agreeing to disagree' is too close to enabling & condoning it - when it all matters too much. Very hard calls ...like trying to help a junky... & of course the real ill-intentioned forces know all that.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: Welcome, scribble and Nikita!
	♥ 10:20am Thin Slice: Headed to Ireland Thursday. Hope I can catch some trad without catching something else.
	10:20am rx scabin: Thanks for the excellent show. I must go to work.
	10:20am P-90: @Pantz: yes! (But it happened much slower then, over decades and generations rather than months and years.) The book “Don Quixote” is largely about this very thing.
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @TS: Lucky duck!
	10:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is pretty much what my Trad Piper friend Anton sounds like.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am Son Of Pantz: @P-90 Cervantes may be one of the few major writers I haven't explored.
	♥ 10:23am Barney Grubbs: Oh yeah! The Fire Draw Near podcast is great, too. (It is Ian Lynch from the band Lankum)
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm...Thx Barney.
	10:30am Dylanna Hell: Great show and I loved the Benedicte Maurseth, the ending was hair standing.
	10:30am ?: It's a hardingfele, aka Hardanger fiddle.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31am Dave_G: It's a beautiful instrument!
	♥ 10:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Great Broadcast tune. I got to see Broadcast in, jeezus, 1999? In Nashville, opening for Sea and Cake.
	♥ 10:33am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): A lot of Karen Black on the radio in the past week.
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: [websearches hardingfele] : !
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am PaulRobeson1920: Intro kinda sounds like The Doors Just like an explosion in my soul!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am YETI BOB: RevRab: Check out en.wikipedia.org... Nils Økland, a modern Hardanger player
	10:38am Gerry from Miami: Not that much different from "Expressway to Your Heart."
	10:39am dday: Gerry. I was just thinking that :)
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: @Gerry: It's sort of like that record with some explosions instead of traffic noises!
	10:40am ike-o: peace
	10:40am dday: Boom Badda Boom!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40am Jason from Houston: [CLAP CLAP]

	🎸 ♥ 10:41am Jason from Houston: Good morning!
	10:41am dday: Since you been gone, since you been gone...
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Son Of Pantz: Can you believe I got kicked out of church yesterday just for claiming that Jesus spoke with a lisp?
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am PaulRobeson1920: Hi GListener Johnny! Hi Gerry!!! : ) Hey YETI BOB, good to see u baby
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am Son Of Pantz: It was a real slap in the faith.
	10:44am dday: Good one Son! :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow, Charlie Rich had a little Elvis going on there...or maybe Elvis had a Charlie Rich thing going on.
	10:45am P-90: Jesus frequently addressed Mary as “thweetie”, check out the Gnostic gospels for the whole story
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tell a Story ...but stick to a Hook ✔︎...
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Be Ye Swishers of Men...
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a copy of The Gnostic Bible on a shelf to my right. One shelf below The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka. True story!
	♥ 10:48am chresti: Morning from Griffith Park!
	10:51am Andrew: Hi Joe! You mentioned dedicating a set to Jesus earlier. I think that would be awesome!!
	10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in fact turned water into wine twice ...sent the 1st one back...

	10:58am P-90: Let’s see… which version of “Plastic Jesus” fits the mood best…?
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Marley P. Dogg: There is my Phil fix!
	♥ 11:00am Joe McG: @Marley: Drumming, singing, and producing!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Marley P. Dogg: He’s a triple threat!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Jason from Houston: Yah. This is a good one...
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Son Of Pantz: Gotta have "Far Away Eyes" in there.
	♥ 11:02am Glorious Estephonic: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm up for Chocolate Jesus
	11:04am P-90: Yes, “Far Away Eyes” includes a description of a plastic dashboard Jesus. But those guys are from England, so how much do they know about it, really?
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am The Oscar: "Your fill of Phil" was RIGHT THERE!
	11:07am P-90: I knew I should have grabbed a full set of those McDonalds “Jesus & Friends” Happy Meal toys when I hd the chance…
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am DjLorraine: No one ever...is to blame
	♥ 11:09am Mark Hurst: "tonight, on Techpentatonic..."

	11:11am Mike W.: Hooked on Techphonics

	♥ 11:11am Yes: awesome
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Jason from Houston: I love this song so much...
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am The Oscar: This sounds like a worst-case hitchhiker scenario.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am karlward: You might say this song is Textonic
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am karlward: This always happens to me when I hitchhike with Jesus
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am The Oscar: WHOA-- that twist just earned a clickystar!
	♥ 11:14am Thin Slice: Baby blues? Is this the Robert Powell Jesus?
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Jason from Houston: Same, karlward. Same.
	♥ 11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: There's a haunting Lindisfarne sound to this, despite th'jeez
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I told you Jesus loves guns.
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am karlward: It always starts out normal enough, but the guy is just so loaded on crank you never know what he's going to do
	♥ 11:15am StringOFperils: I dunno. Sandals in the car. Don't really know the guy. I'd keep driving.

	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Macca take Jeezus to the Studio : www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am Jason from Houston: Lone Star tallboys for everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: This album males me so hungry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am The Oscar: "Are You Drinkin' With Me Jesus" by Mojo Nixon would be a good fit for this set.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am karlward: That time when Joe Belock interviewed Billy Gibbons: www.wfmu.org...
	11:17am Andres: Here for the Easter music!
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: Goodness! "makes" me so hungry!
	♥ 11:18am Thin Slice: These last 2 songs make me feel like I'm back in my southeast TX high school in the 80s. It was named for a Confederate general, natch.

	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Son Of Pantz: Reminds me of the Jesus Freak scene in Fear and Loathing

	🎸 ♥ 11:23am karlward: I love Dougie Poole's cover of "Dropkick Me, Jesus" dougiepoole.bandcamp.com...
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bigger Than Cheeses : www.youtube.com...
	11:24am P-90: The Blessed Bobby Bare
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am luka: i am cackling what is this song
	♥ 11:24am Polly.: another fine tune is 10 wheels for Jesus by the beasts of bourbon - heard on inner ear detour about 10 + years ago?
	♥ 11:24am Rich in Washington: There's always Kinky Friedman's They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore but you'd have to ride the dump button the whole way through (and probably run out of dump).
	♥ 11:24am Hubig Pie: Blessed are the cheese makers.....
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Time to pass the plate: pledge.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am YETI BOB: Maybe this Bobby Bare CD is from 2012 but this song is much older ... dates back to the 70s. And his son is now playing guitar in GBV!
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Jason from Houston: GLORY TO YOU JOE
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am G: It's the revanchist set! :-)
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: Happy Easter, everybody!
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am tadpoles: A lot more of The Jesus & Mary Chain maybe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am The Oscar: @YB I remember Uncle Michael played a recording once of Bobby Bare accompanied by his VERY young son, which surely counts as the earliest known GBV side-project.
	♥ 11:27am Polly.: beaster where i'm from
	11:27am eva: enjoying the show! 🤘
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Marley P. Dogg: On a completely unrelated note, Mark Hurst needs to do an episode on this evolving technology youtu.be...
	11:28am the serpent: Joe why are you doing this to us?
	11:28am Listener John from NJ: I'd dozed off here at home, and was awakened by the sounds of Kinky Friedman . . . a strange experience, believe me. (I owned the album on 8-track when I was a teenager. oy vey!!)
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Jason from Houston: Imma click every one of these dang ol Jesus songs...
	11:28am queems: i like all of the attributes that people assign to jesus

	♥ 11:35am chresti: Ah, thats it! Thanks RevRab!

	11:37am Jeffrey from west Florida: Chicken or Easter egg ? Larry Norman : “they nailed him to the cross they put him in the ground but they should’ve known you can’t keep a good man down” Which came first ? Great irreverent Holy Week set. He is risen indeed. Come down from the cross cause we could use the wood.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am karlward: 'Prine turned to me and said, “Hey John, who is that?!” “That’s Joan Jett, man!” I replied. “Y’know… ‘I love rock ‘n’ roll!” A moment later she comes slinking up to the bar, all in black leather and orders a drink… something sparkly and red. John cleared his throat, cocked his head, squinted at her and took his best shot. “Uh, pardon me, ma’am, but do you know about Jesus?” She glared at him like something slimy just crawled across her foot. “I’m talkin’ about ‘Jesus, the Missing Years’” he said, and launched into his hilarious spoken word opus by the same name while she watched him, curiously as she sipped her drink, becoming more enthralled by the moment. By the time Jesus met his Irish bride and rented a flat on the Lower East Side, as the story goes, she was hooked.' pleasekillme.com...
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'dove of love fell off the perch but ya can't get divorced in the Catholic Church' - & that's enuff for the Hall of Fame imho...

	11:40am gauche knee: @ Rev Rabbit amen to that!
	11:40am P-90: @karlward: that sounds like the John I knew!
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am YETI BOB: This reminds me, William Tyler made an album called "Elvis was a Capricorn" which I think is a great title.

	♥ 11:43am the Hurston moor-elf: i've always had a soft spot for this Doobie Bros song tho' i'd rarely admit it! (Apart from the slow bit, that kind of ruins it...)
	11:43am dano59: These are all on the setlist of my twisted gospel band, Rev. Dan and The Unbelievers
	♥ 11:44am Hubig Pie: I likes the slo bit
	11:44am TimBK: When Rerun got busted making a bootleg from the Doobie Brothers show, he bummed everyone out!
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Byrds before Doobies if you remember... : en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Contains 10% Santana by weight
	11:45am P-90: OK, it’s no “One Toke Over the Line”, but I has “Jesus” in the title, and “Doobie” in the band name
	♥ 11:45am Thin Slice: @TimBK Which Doobie you be?
	11:46am TimBK: @Thin Slice - The one with long hair
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BYrdS ...suck it autoincorrect...

	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Handy Haversack: It's so good, Hubig.
	11:49am TimBK: Another great Jesus song from the always pious Buck Owens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol1lh4-YFKY Great album too.
	♥ 11:49am chresti: Ha Rick from SC
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Joe, great variety as ever.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Who knew Jesus showed up in so many songs?
	♥ 11:49am the Hurston moor-elf: i'm in Sevilla in southern Spain and it's Holy Week here, so there are teams of a dozen or big men carrying giant (multi-ton) statues of Jesus all over the city (processions that last up to 12 hours). It's quite something. And many of those processing whre Klan-style outfits (which is pretty disorienting, tho' they are much older and have no Klan affiliations...or at least i hope not!).

	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Is this Scott Walker's other band?
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am McGroovey: Jeezum, they's lotsa tunes 'bout this guy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am The Oscar: Man, what a voice Country Dick had.
	11:52am johnk77: beat farmers rocked live
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Country Dick Montana. Maybe a set for another day would be artists who died while on stage performing.
	11:52am Jeffrey from west Florida: Why should the devil have all the good music ?
	♥ 11:52am chresti: the Hurston, take pictures!
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: K8's excited for this one!
	11:52am Yes: There it is
	11:52am Joe Mulligan 🦀: @karlward that’s an amazing story, all at the same time in the Milwaukee Hilton bar? And right after almost getting pummeled by hulk hogan because of a dis by the crusher on tv with letterman at the very same moment? Too good if it’s really true? Thanks for the “missing years” song Joe. Having gone to catholic school for all of my education they never told us about what really happened with Jesus between 12 and 30.

	♥ 11:53am sinner: Blasphemy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am G: Hayes Carll - She Left Me For Jesus She left me for Jesus And that just ain't fair She says, that he's perfect. How could I compare She says, I should find him And I'll know peace at last But if I ever find Jesus I'm kickin' his ass
	♥ 11:53am Barnooo in Akron: So cool

	11:56am Mira: That was just incredible, thank you so much. It IS cool to tell other people to drink your blood and eat your body. Just so cool.
	11:56am P-90: If there had been any more songs mocking the Eucharist, I was going to have to change the channel to K-ROCK

	🎸 ♥ 9:18am YETI BOB: We tried to throw a bonfire-in-the-yard party on Friday night and it SNOWED! Wound up having a few people for cocktails indoors by the fireplace. Springtime in Chicago, I tell ya! (And also I'm trying to trap a pregnant feral cat)
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Krys O.: Greetings!
	♥ 9:19am PigeonsAndRust: @RevRabbit The WWII gap owes to a recording ban from August '42 to November '44 because of a musicians strike. It started over royalties from jukebox play, as jukeboxes were edging live bands out of lots of smaller venues. en.m.wikipedia.org...
	9:20am rx scabin: Good morning, everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am Strandlund: @The Oscar...HA HA!!
	9:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Pigeons&Rust: Most informative ! I thot it was War rationing / allocation to the War effort,,,
	♥ 9:26am common: good day joe, all
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am DjLorraine: What a pleasant suprise to wakeup in the grand ballroom with you big band folks
	♥ 9:27am PigeonsAndRust: @Rev Rabbit, nah, it was all because Petrillo had cajones! Another WWII rationing misconception was that there was a gas shortage...but nope, we were the world's biggest exporters! We didn't have rubber, however, so rationing plus a national 30 MPH speed limit were instituted to save our tires.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' The other major cause of the decline of the big bands was World War II itself—and the resulting loss of band members who were drafted, curtailment of traveling by touring bands because of gasoline rationing, and a shortage of the shellac used to make records '...
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Joe! Hi everyone! My Grandpa loves Big Band Music
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am yerfriendpaul: Loved your first set, Joe!
	♥ 9:29am PigeonsAndRust: @ Joe if you have $5 mil laying around you can buy one of the few remaining BIG band ballrooms www.google.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & greetings pop pickers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am PaulRobeson1920: A few days ago he called Benny Goodman “a young man.” LOL, I kid you not
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as I was ignorant that the Grande, home of the MC5, had that earlier history as well...
	♥ 9:34am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Really loved that first set. Especially glad I caught it because I have a feeling I'll be underground during Single File. Heading out in a few minutes to walk into Manhattan and to the subway so I can get some goat ricotta cheese and greens from the Union Square greenmarket to make a slow-cook lasagna tonight. The slow-cook homemade meat sauce is currently cooking. Using beef I got from the greenmarket. Well, I'll be listening on my portable radio anytime I'm above ground, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am The Oscar: My favorite Chinese restaurant in Boston is in an old converted Vaudeville hall. You can just sit in this huge ornate big-band ballroom and order $5 dim sum. It's surreal and amazing.
	9:35am P-90: I enjoyed the “music for Jumpers” guy too. Hi Joe.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The long Strike against Jukebox money is quite an intrigue of its own...
	♥ 9:35am PigeonsAndRust: @ Rev Rabbit While there was a shellac shortage, as lac beetles are from Asia, I still find lots and lots more WWII records in the wild than late 20s/ early 30s stuff. And it is true that the pressing quality is worse, due to the recycled shellac used. Another reason for the shortage of earlier records was that they had a slight recycling value during the war. Fun fact: when radio hit it big after '26 there was serious doubt the record industry would survive at all! Record sales were off hugely even before the Depression hit, and they didn't regain their 1926 peak until Ithink 1938!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Genesis. Just get it over with.
	9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ 1st Labels didn't want their Records on the Air ! Who would buy a Record you can hear on Radio ??...
	🎸 ♥ 9:37am Hughie Considine: The F-word...
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @Woods: Ha ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: I have to read that book that DJ Sheila B read. I don't know much about early Genesis and honestly, none of that music does much for me for whatever reason.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am Son Of Pantz: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is pretty good.
	9:41am P-90: Everything up to “And Then There Were Three” is pretty good-to-amazing
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: I can pretty much find something I like in most stages of Genesis' career, from the first album to the last. But there are also things I don't much care for.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am Hughie Considine: The urban setting of "Lamb" always threw me. I preferred my Genesis to emanate from a forest glade.
	♥ 9:43am Joe McG: @Rosey: Glad I can accompany you on your journey to the market!
	9:43am P-90: Fleetwood Mac vibe on this
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: Whenever anything from this label is played, my entire childhood nods grimly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think my problem is that I just never liked Peter Gabriel's voice. It always seemed very cold to these ears, so nothing ever resonated.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Joe and Yips in the sun.
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Gabriel ! ...But that early Genesis supposed to be good I just never really crossed paths with somehow. When I hear it it's okay, but seems like KingCrimson that didn't reach puberty or something ...& later Genesis is just MTV Pop...
	9:47am KWilde: Paul McC tune
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so I could just be underinformed (again)...
	9:48am P-90: @Hughie: that’s spot-on about “Lamb’s” departure from the English countryside-y nursery rhymes and folk tales vibe that dominates the other pre-sellout Genesis albums. But even on “Lamb”, that urban setting is quickly left behind for an almost D&D-like series of traps and cages the hero has to pass through….
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that makes it sound intriguing...

	🎸 ♥ 9:50am JeremyB: Wow, Whitmore sisters - incredible- never heard of them, checking out their website now

	9:52am P-90: +1 for Whitmore Sisters! That track really made an impression
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Hughie Considine: @P-90, with that in mind, I'll have to return to it. I feel like I never saw it through to the end ...
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am Brian in UK: Did Peter Gabriel ever dress up as a flopsy bunny?
	♥ 9:54am Polyus: I Loved a Lass aka The False Bride. I knew this was familiar from somewhere - so many of those old songs go by multiple titles.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am Son Of Pantz: @Brian when did he not???
	♥ 9:57am Joe McG: "Flopsy Bunny" is a great song title. Esp. for this time of year.
	9:58am P-90: I’m listening on my phone, at first glance at the Chat on the screen in the sunlight, “Carolyn Hester” looked like “Charlton Heston”. For a split second, I was willing to give old Chuck props for helping her with her career…
	♥ 9:58am joe from montclair: love this record
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also help if Judy Henske & Carolyn Hester had names dissimilar as their voices ...quiz later...
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Brian in UK: @Polypus, here is a selection from Continental Subway. wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Son Of Pantz: Is this THE Karen Black? I didn't know she was a singer as well as an actress.
	10:01am Brendan: In the song I Loved a Lass the verse, And the men in the forest they ask it of me Saying "How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?" I answered them back with a tear in my eye "How many ships sail in the forest? … reminds me of a scene from All in the Family, where Meathead has left Gloria, and Edith consoles her with, “don’t worry there’s other fish in the wood pile”.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Hughie Considine: It is the very same Karen Black
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Brian in UK: Images from Cisco Pike appearing in my mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Son Of Pantz: She has a great voice.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: I loved her in "Nashville."
	♥ 10:05am Polyus: Olivia Chaney also does a lovely version of that song, which she says she learned from Alasdair Roberts.
	10:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Distinctive even.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha, great line
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am Son Of Pantz: Five Easy Pieces for me, Joe.

	♥ 10:07am Yes: good morning
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Yeah, it's hard to choose, you're right! I'm not much on the horror stuff, but I don't really like horror movies.
	10:07am rx scabin: I just watched a blue balloon tumble across the yard across the street as if it could hear this song.

	♥ 10:09am the Hurston moor-elf: i just had a really unpleasant political argument with my sister who i'd not seen for several years. Still feeling a bit shaken, but it's SO comforting to hear your voice and musical selections on the radio, Joe. Thanks for being here.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: Happy to be, Hurston!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am Son Of Pantz: @the Hurston I walk on eggshells around my family, ever since "you know who" became prez. It's an unspoken rule to keep topics light.
	10:11am P-90: @Thin Slice:: Karen and Elliot Gould elevate “Capricorn One” to a whole different level than it would have been without them.
	♥ 10:12am Thin Slice: @P-90 :-)
	♥ 10:13am Phillippe: Here's a nice video of Karen Black singing Cass McComb's "Brighter", with him on guitar. There are many of her movie roles interspersed in the video vimeo.com...

	♥ 10:14am Joe McG: @rx: Ha ha ha! @Phillippe: Thanks for the clip!
	10:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For real - it's been rough dissociating from people - family, artists, facebook friends - who've sided with the craycray ...it seems completely random & unpredictable sometimes...
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Son Of Pantz: It's amazing how polarizing social media has made everyone's beliefs. I wonder if it was similar when Gutenberg invented the press.
	♥ 10:19am scribble: Especially beautiful show today, Joe. Thank you 🪶
	♥ 10:19am Nikita: That song really took me somewhere. Far far away. Thanks Joe😊
	10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I tend to feel that 'agreeing to disagree' is too close to enabling & condoning it - when it all matters too much. Very hard calls ...like trying to help a junky... & of course the real ill-intentioned forces know all that.
	♥ 10:20am Joe McG: Welcome, scribble and Nikita!
	♥ 10:20am Thin Slice: Headed to Ireland Thursday. Hope I can catch some trad without catching something else.
	10:20am rx scabin: Thanks for the excellent show. I must go to work.
	10:20am P-90: @Pantz: yes! (But it happened much slower then, over decades and generations rather than months and years.) The book “Don Quixote” is largely about this very thing.

	11:35am paul: Was thinking you were gonna play Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore. Another Prine classic.

	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Ken From Hyde Park: This set and the DJ definitely rising to the occasion today.
	11:37am Jeffrey from west Florida: Chicken or Easter egg ? Larry Norman : “they nailed him to the cross they put him in the ground but they should’ve known you can’t keep a good man down” Which came first ? Great irreverent Holy Week set. He is risen indeed. Come down from the cross cause we could use the wood.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am karlward: 'Prine turned to me and said, “Hey John, who is that?!” “That’s Joan Jett, man!” I replied. “Y’know… ‘I love rock ‘n’ roll!” A moment later she comes slinking up to the bar, all in black leather and orders a drink… something sparkly and red. John cleared his throat, cocked his head, squinted at her and took his best shot. “Uh, pardon me, ma’am, but do you know about Jesus?” She glared at him like something slimy just crawled across her foot. “I’m talkin’ about ‘Jesus, the Missing Years’” he said, and launched into his hilarious spoken word opus by the same name while she watched him, curiously as she sipped her drink, becoming more enthralled by the moment. By the time Jesus met his Irish bride and rented a flat on the Lower East Side, as the story goes, she was hooked.' pleasekillme.com...
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'dove of love fell off the perch but ya can't get divorced in the Catholic Church' - & that's enuff for the Hall of Fame imho...

	11:41am paul: No Plastic Jesus?

	♥ 11:43am the Hurston moor-elf: i've always had a soft spot for this Doobie Bros song tho' i'd rarely admit it! (Apart from the slow bit, that kind of ruins it...)
	11:43am dano59: These are all on the setlist of my twisted gospel band, Rev. Dan and The Unbelievers
	♥ 11:44am Hubig Pie: I likes the slo bit

	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Contains 10% Santana by weight
	11:45am P-90: OK, it’s no “One Toke Over the Line”, but I has “Jesus” in the title, and “Doobie” in the band name
	♥ 11:45am Thin Slice: @TimBK Which Doobie you be?

	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Joe, great variety as ever.
	🎸 ♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Who knew Jesus showed up in so many songs?
	♥ 11:49am the Hurston moor-elf: i'm in Sevilla in southern Spain and it's Holy Week here, so there are teams of a dozen or big men carrying giant (multi-ton) statues of Jesus all over the city (processions that last up to 12 hours). It's quite something. And many of those processing whre Klan-style outfits (which is pretty disorienting, tho' they are much older and have no Klan affiliations...or at least i hope not!).

	🎸 ♥ 11:51am The Oscar: Man, what a voice Country Dick had.
	11:52am johnk77: beat farmers rocked live
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, Country Dick Montana. Maybe a set for another day would be artists who died while on stage performing.

	11:52am Joe Mulligan 🦀: @karlward that’s an amazing story, all at the same time in the Milwaukee Hilton bar? And right after almost getting pummeled by hulk hogan because of a dis by the crusher on tv with letterman at the very same moment? Too good if it’s really true? Thanks for the “missing years” song Joe. Having gone to catholic school for all of my education they never told us about what really happened with Jesus between 12 and 30.

	🎸 ♥ 11:53am G: Hayes Carll - She Left Me For Jesus She left me for Jesus And that just ain't fair She says, that he's perfect. How could I compare She says, I should find him And I'll know peace at last But if I ever find Jesus I'm kickin' his ass
