	♥ 2:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - nice! man, I'm totally into my Shaw!
	♥ 2:41pm Fatherflot: "redoubtable" --- now that's a big Scrabble score word!
	2:41pm MOM WHIG: 1947 WOW - 75 years ago.
	♥ 2:43pm Fatherflot: Keeping the "s" silent and the "i" long in "Viscounts" --- you are suave, dude.
	2:44pm MOM WHIG: F2 - did you get 100% on the Test?
	2:44pm LesleyK: there's a test??!!
	2:45pm LesleyK: i better pay more attention ha ha
	♥ 2:45pm Dennis Diken: @Fatherflot - no "discounts" for the Viscounts! re: scrabble - lotta tiles (and grout?) for "redoubtable"!!

	2:45pm Smoketown Joe: I always look forward to this show, you make Wednesdays fun. The Undertones and Dr. Feelgood, great start!

	2:46pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Smoketown Joe F2 - ok got it
	♥ 2:46pm Dennis Diken: @Smoketown Joe - thanks much! welcome aboard! @LesleyK - perish the thought!!
	2:47pm LesleyK: 🤣
	♥ 2:47pm Fatherflot: MW - they have to identify meter in lines of poetry that include trochaic octometer, anapestic tetrameter, and iambic pentameter --- among other things.
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: F2 hope their brains are working for the answers
	♥ 2:49pm Dennis Diken: @Fatherflot - speaking of Scrabble...!!
	♥ 2:49pm Fatherflot: Just read out loud, tap the beats and count on your fingers and you can't go wrong.
	2:50pm LesleyK: F2--high school or college students?
	♥ 2:51pm Fatherflot: LK -- College. Almost time to make my transformation from Freeform radio jester to stern English prof and priest of high seriousness
	2:52pm LesleyK: I might fail that test--(despite the fact that i was valedictorian of my small h.s. way back when...). See you tomorrow for your show F2
	2:52pm LesleyK: great show so far Dennis!
	2:53pm MOM WHIG: F2 good luck with them then....hope they are PASS!
	♥ 2:54pm Stu Rutherford: I'd totally fail that test. Don't know a lot of the technical jargon in music.
	♥ 2:55pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - many thanks!! I'm trying!
	2:55pm Myron Feld: I learned “I’m Shakin’”from the Blasters — like Commander Cody, another great source of previously obscure music.
	♥ 2:56pm Stu Rutherford: @Lesley - Valedictorian! Nice! I was Honor Society (or whatever that was called) back in my HS days.
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - ditto - I can say the same thing for our beloved Lovin' Spoonful!!
	2:59pm Nezrok: Its all about the bass!
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: re: technical jargon in music, this is all I know - "it's the beat! the beat!"
	3:00pm Nezrok: You would - LOL
	♥ 3:00pm Stu Rutherford: @Dennis - The only beat I can recognize is a good one that you can dance to!
	3:01pm LesleyK: Stu, i was in the NHS too (treasurer--but we never had any $ so it was easy), but the principal did not like my punk-ish haircut so she banned me from going on field trips-- so stupid. i mean it was just pink hair at a catholic school. (i wound up going on field trips after all)
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - another Catholic school gal too. I was 5-8th grade at one.
	3:04pm LesleyK: Mom Whig, i did middle and high school. went to public elementary.
	♥ 3:05pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Dennis, Andrew, Baby, Michael, Mom Whig, everybody!
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - funny I did the opposite - public HS - no middle schools back when I went - Catholic went to 8th grade. - it was late 50's then.
	♥ 3:06pm Stu Rutherford: @Lesley - At my school, there were no chores or trips that I remember being in NHS. Just basically a "prestige" thing for lack of a better word for good grades. I too was a bit of a freak amongst my fellow members. I had a Phil May-ish haircut in my senior year in HS.
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: Hi Hoboken Jack happy you made it
	3:07pm MOM WHIG: Stu - Phil from The Pretty Things
	3:07pm Eric R: hey! no time to chat but Stu, I want to say how glad I am about next week. Great stuff!
	♥ 3:07pm Stu Rutherford: @Mom Whig - Yes, that Phil.
	3:08pm LesleyK: Stu, we only went to Toronto once (not NHS related, just a general extended field trip) i still have pics. hey Eric!
	♥ 3:08pm Dennis Diken: I went to Catholic school for K & 1 then my folks gave me the choice to switch to public school moving forward - I'm eternally thankful! had amazing teachers at A Lincoln School in Carteret, NJ!!
	♥ 3:08pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Eric! And thank you!
	♥ 3:09pm Dennis Diken: hey Eric R!
	3:10pm MOM WHIG: DD thanks to those Catholic Nuns - I do super on Jeopardy questions. We used to diagram sentences - make maps on poster paper with Mts, rivers & products. No modern technology back then.
	3:11pm LesleyK: That's cool Dennis. i would have went to public hs but i actually chose to go to this school in downtown cleveland. lots of diversity and interesting kids,who I would not have met in the 'burbs. was not your usual catholic school. (i hated the catholic middle school though, the nuns were mean there!)
	3:13pm LesleyK: Mom Whig--you should go on Jeopardy! that would be amazing
	♥ 3:14pm Woo: I dozed off. Hey!
	3:15pm LesleyK: hey woo
	♥ 3:16pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - I can't complain about the nuns in my short tenure at Catholic school @LesleyK - the teachers and kids at Lincoln were super creative and cool - and I met Mike Mesaros in 3rd grade - seeds of The Smithereens!
	♥ 3:17pm Woo: Talkin Catholic school? I did 12 years. Both schools no longer exist.
	3:18pm LesleyK: Wow, that's cool Dennis! wish i met some cool band/music people. i played piano but that was it-didn't really know anyone who was into playing unfortunately. Woo, my h.s. no longer exists either.
	3:19pm LesleyK: i mean i met people who went to see concerts w me but they didn't play any instruments.
	♥ 3:19pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - hey man! @LesleyK - yeah, I'm still in touch with a number of kids I went to school with, some nice, lasting friendships!
	♥ 3:21pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - Mike didn't start on the bass til the 70s but we were close friends since '66! and I met Jimmy Babjak on the first day of high school - and we started playing together that week!!
	3:21pm MOM WHIG: My Church & School were/are still in McLean, Va - Bobby & Ethel Kennedy went to our church. Woo - 12 years WOW!
	3:24pm Myron Feld: I must cut out early: those who grew up in NYC way back when know that the Catholic kids got to leave school at 2:00 on Wednesdays for religious instruction. Great show as ALWAYS, Dennis! Farewell, Denizens!
	3:25pm MOM WHIG: Bye Myron Feld
	♥ 3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks, pal!
	3:27pm LesleyK: Nice Dennis! About meeting them in school and hitting it off
	♥ 3:27pm Woo: MOM WHIG, did you see the Kennedys there? My elementary school is now a Montessori School. I would love to walk through that building again. Maybe I could get a tour.
	3:29pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I saw them at Church every Sunday for years. Their home was just 1.5 miles from my house. It's Hickory Hills - Ethel sold it years ago - but the sign on the mail box is still the original one. I drive by there every now and then.
	♥ 3:30pm Woo: That's so cool MOM WHIG. And their many many kids. Clicky starred this Fruitgum song.
	♥ 3:31pm Fatherflot: LesleyK -- My wife is from Mentor in Lake County. My mother-in-law went to Catholic schools in CLE and Notre Dame college ---back in the 60s.
	3:31pm DA The DJ: Out of phase
	3:32pm LesleyK: Oh nice F2. I am from the west side of Cleveland. (Oh shoot I missed the 1910 Fruitgum Co! Had to step away for a few min. )
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I did Star this one too - Ethel was expecting their 10th when Bobby was shot. His death was really tso sad - I was in Indian when it happened 1968 at college & he was just there a few days earlier.
	♥ 3:33pm Dennis Diken: @DA The DJ - just this cut or the whole show?
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: DD was that last one Eric's band -- luved it - thanks
	3:34pm MOM WHIG: Indiana
	♥ 3:35pm Fatherflot: MW - what school in Indiana? I went to grad school at IW-Bloomington in the 90s.
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: F2 - Valpariaso - hubby was in College there.
	3:47pm LesleyK: Dennis, i wonder if you guys will play the Badfinger song tomorrow....
	3:47pm LesleyK: i mean FRIDAY
	♥ 3:48pm Woo: There's no sound like the sound of The Flamingos.
	♥ 3:48pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show!!
	3:48pm MOM WHIG: Still luv the Flamingos DD - thanks one again for including us all today in your show - you always BRING IT ALL TOGETHER in an amazing way.
	3:49pm MOM WHIG: Woo - for sure - luv them

	♥ 3:52pm Woo: Thank you Dennis. Always look forward to The Den and I'm sorry I slept through the first half today. Last night I didn't get to sleep at all.

	2:25pm MOM WHIG: Michael Shelley - good to see you
	♥ 2:25pm Fatherflot: Welcome Stu! As the new guys I guess we have to carry the equipment bags for the vets and suffer radio wedgies and swirlies until even greener DJs arriave.
	♥ 2:25pm Stu Rutherford: @Lesley - I'll be pre-recording most likely putting the shows together the weekend before it airs.
	♥ 2:26pm Fatherflot: Stu -- that's exactly how I do it.

	♥ 2:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - nice! man, I'm totally into my Shaw!
	♥ 2:41pm Fatherflot: "redoubtable" --- now that's a big Scrabble score word!
	2:41pm MOM WHIG: 1947 WOW - 75 years ago.
	♥ 2:43pm Fatherflot: Keeping the "s" silent and the "i" long in "Viscounts" --- you are suave, dude.
	2:44pm MOM WHIG: F2 - did you get 100% on the Test?
	2:44pm LesleyK: there's a test??!!
	2:45pm LesleyK: i better pay more attention ha ha
	♥ 2:45pm Dennis Diken: @Fatherflot - no "discounts" for the Viscounts! re: scrabble - lotta tiles (and grout?) for "redoubtable"!!

	♥ 2:46pm Dennis Diken: @Smoketown Joe - thanks much! welcome aboard! @LesleyK - perish the thought!!
	2:47pm LesleyK: 🤣
	♥ 2:47pm Fatherflot: MW - they have to identify meter in lines of poetry that include trochaic octometer, anapestic tetrameter, and iambic pentameter --- among other things.
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: F2 hope their brains are working for the answers
	♥ 2:49pm Dennis Diken: @Fatherflot - speaking of Scrabble...!!
	♥ 2:49pm Fatherflot: Just read out loud, tap the beats and count on your fingers and you can't go wrong.
	2:50pm LesleyK: F2--high school or college students?
	♥ 2:51pm Fatherflot: LK -- College. Almost time to make my transformation from Freeform radio jester to stern English prof and priest of high seriousness
	2:52pm LesleyK: I might fail that test--(despite the fact that i was valedictorian of my small h.s. way back when...). See you tomorrow for your show F2
	2:52pm LesleyK: great show so far Dennis!
	2:53pm MOM WHIG: F2 good luck with them then....hope they are PASS!
	♥ 2:54pm Stu Rutherford: I'd totally fail that test. Don't know a lot of the technical jargon in music.
	♥ 2:55pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - many thanks!! I'm trying!
	2:55pm Myron Feld: I learned “I’m Shakin’”from the Blasters — like Commander Cody, another great source of previously obscure music.
	♥ 2:56pm Stu Rutherford: @Lesley - Valedictorian! Nice! I was Honor Society (or whatever that was called) back in my HS days.
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - ditto - I can say the same thing for our beloved Lovin' Spoonful!!
	2:59pm Nezrok: Its all about the bass!
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: re: technical jargon in music, this is all I know - "it's the beat! the beat!"
	3:00pm Nezrok: You would - LOL
	♥ 3:00pm Stu Rutherford: @Dennis - The only beat I can recognize is a good one that you can dance to!
	3:01pm LesleyK: Stu, i was in the NHS too (treasurer--but we never had any $ so it was easy), but the principal did not like my punk-ish haircut so she banned me from going on field trips-- so stupid. i mean it was just pink hair at a catholic school. (i wound up going on field trips after all)
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - another Catholic school gal too. I was 5-8th grade at one.
	3:04pm LesleyK: Mom Whig, i did middle and high school. went to public elementary.
	♥ 3:05pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Dennis, Andrew, Baby, Michael, Mom Whig, everybody!
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - funny I did the opposite - public HS - no middle schools back when I went - Catholic went to 8th grade. - it was late 50's then.
	♥ 3:06pm Stu Rutherford: @Lesley - At my school, there were no chores or trips that I remember being in NHS. Just basically a "prestige" thing for lack of a better word for good grades. I too was a bit of a freak amongst my fellow members. I had a Phil May-ish haircut in my senior year in HS.
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: Hi Hoboken Jack happy you made it
	3:07pm MOM WHIG: Stu - Phil from The Pretty Things
	3:07pm Eric R: hey! no time to chat but Stu, I want to say how glad I am about next week. Great stuff!
	♥ 3:07pm Stu Rutherford: @Mom Whig - Yes, that Phil.
	3:08pm LesleyK: Stu, we only went to Toronto once (not NHS related, just a general extended field trip) i still have pics. hey Eric!
	♥ 3:08pm Dennis Diken: I went to Catholic school for K & 1 then my folks gave me the choice to switch to public school moving forward - I'm eternally thankful! had amazing teachers at A Lincoln School in Carteret, NJ!!
	♥ 3:08pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Eric! And thank you!
	♥ 3:09pm Dennis Diken: hey Eric R!
	3:10pm MOM WHIG: DD thanks to those Catholic Nuns - I do super on Jeopardy questions. We used to diagram sentences - make maps on poster paper with Mts, rivers & products. No modern technology back then.
	3:11pm LesleyK: That's cool Dennis. i would have went to public hs but i actually chose to go to this school in downtown cleveland. lots of diversity and interesting kids,who I would not have met in the 'burbs. was not your usual catholic school. (i hated the catholic middle school though, the nuns were mean there!)
	3:13pm LesleyK: Mom Whig--you should go on Jeopardy! that would be amazing
	♥ 3:14pm Woo: I dozed off. Hey!
	3:15pm LesleyK: hey woo
	♥ 3:16pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - I can't complain about the nuns in my short tenure at Catholic school @LesleyK - the teachers and kids at Lincoln were super creative and cool - and I met Mike Mesaros in 3rd grade - seeds of The Smithereens!
	♥ 3:17pm Woo: Talkin Catholic school? I did 12 years. Both schools no longer exist.
	3:18pm LesleyK: Wow, that's cool Dennis! wish i met some cool band/music people. i played piano but that was it-didn't really know anyone who was into playing unfortunately. Woo, my h.s. no longer exists either.
	3:19pm LesleyK: i mean i met people who went to see concerts w me but they didn't play any instruments.
	♥ 3:19pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - hey man! @LesleyK - yeah, I'm still in touch with a number of kids I went to school with, some nice, lasting friendships!
	♥ 3:21pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - Mike didn't start on the bass til the 70s but we were close friends since '66! and I met Jimmy Babjak on the first day of high school - and we started playing together that week!!
	3:21pm MOM WHIG: My Church & School were/are still in McLean, Va - Bobby & Ethel Kennedy went to our church. Woo - 12 years WOW!
	3:24pm Myron Feld: I must cut out early: those who grew up in NYC way back when know that the Catholic kids got to leave school at 2:00 on Wednesdays for religious instruction. Great show as ALWAYS, Dennis! Farewell, Denizens!
	3:25pm MOM WHIG: Bye Myron Feld
	♥ 3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks, pal!
	3:27pm LesleyK: Nice Dennis! About meeting them in school and hitting it off
	♥ 3:27pm Woo: MOM WHIG, did you see the Kennedys there? My elementary school is now a Montessori School. I would love to walk through that building again. Maybe I could get a tour.
	3:29pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I saw them at Church every Sunday for years. Their home was just 1.5 miles from my house. It's Hickory Hills - Ethel sold it years ago - but the sign on the mail box is still the original one. I drive by there every now and then.
	♥ 3:30pm Woo: That's so cool MOM WHIG. And their many many kids. Clicky starred this Fruitgum song.
	♥ 3:31pm Fatherflot: LesleyK -- My wife is from Mentor in Lake County. My mother-in-law went to Catholic schools in CLE and Notre Dame college ---back in the 60s.
	3:31pm DA The DJ: Out of phase
	3:32pm LesleyK: Oh nice F2. I am from the west side of Cleveland. (Oh shoot I missed the 1910 Fruitgum Co! Had to step away for a few min. )
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I did Star this one too - Ethel was expecting their 10th when Bobby was shot. His death was really tso sad - I was in Indian when it happened 1968 at college & he was just there a few days earlier.
	♥ 3:33pm Dennis Diken: @DA The DJ - just this cut or the whole show?
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: DD was that last one Eric's band -- luved it - thanks
	3:34pm MOM WHIG: Indiana
	♥ 3:35pm Fatherflot: MW - what school in Indiana? I went to grad school at IW-Bloomington in the 90s.
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: F2 - Valpariaso - hubby was in College there.
	3:47pm LesleyK: Dennis, i wonder if you guys will play the Badfinger song tomorrow....
	3:47pm LesleyK: i mean FRIDAY
	♥ 3:48pm Woo: There's no sound like the sound of The Flamingos.
