	2:41pm DA the DJ: Hey Jon!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - I think this one came after the L&C version. @DA the DJ - TAST!

	2:50pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yeah, if you spin Have Fun!!! Play Drums!!! and check the pics therein Hal will fill you in even more!
	2:51pm Gerry from Miami: Anyone go far enough back to when Jim Backus played ace comedienne's Joan Davis's husband on her great show, "I Married Joan?"
	2:51pm Stu Rutherford: Thanks so much for the accolades, Dennis!
	2:52pm Dan from Peekskill: Rockin out today? Oh Yeah! Lookin forward to sharing my pics from Liverpool with you.
	2:53pm David Shortell: I know you meant to say Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Dennis, but how about playing some Johnny and the Hurricanes?
	2:53pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - to be sure! @Gerry from Miami - yeah, I think the first time I experienced the magic of Backus was on "I Married Joan?"
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: @David Shortell - duly noted! been meaning to spin Johnny and the Hurricanes - will do at some point in the coming weeks!
	2:55pm myron feld: I got a Polaroid Swinger for my elementary school graduation

	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: No Polaroid camera for my family! We were Kodak Brownie Hawkeye users!
	2:58pm myron feld: @DD: nope, sadly lost to the ravages of time
	2:58pm myron feld: But I'm still swinging!
	3:01pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Big Joe Turner got me thinking about all that great post big band, post WW II band leaders. Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Buddy Johnson etal. Such great stuff and would love to hear more of it! BTW, when Amy Allison asked Mose who he really dug coming up, he said that Buddy Johnson was his big love.
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - ask and ye shall receive!!
	3:03pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Buddy Johnson's sister Ella's version of Since I Fell For You puts all other versions to rest! Heard it?
	3:04pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Dennis, Mom Whig, Andrew, Ed, all!
	3:04pm David Shortell: I’ve never seen “I Married Joan”. By that point, Backus had already spent a few years voicing that myopic coot co-created by the Yo La Tengo drummer’s father.
	3:05pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - ca ca ma ca @Hoboken Jack - hey, man!
	3:06pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Hey, I resemble that remark!
	3:06pm bobobob: Hi Dennis ...bob drummer Plasticland Milw..now in Atlanta..you playin around Atlanta..my friends up in Milw said your show was fantastic
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @bobobob - hey, thanks! nothing booked right now - hopefully sometime this year? I love going to Alanta!
	3:10pm bobob: yeah Jim Backus !! even Mr Maglue ..as charlie would say is grRRREAT!
	3:10pm Gerry from Miami: @ David Shortell. You wouldn't be talking about the venerable Mr. Magoo now, would you??
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: I'm happy to report that I share a birthday with the great Mr. Backus!! may I recommend his fine book Rocks On The Roof?
	3:13pm Gerry from Miami: Don't forget super-Musk/Bezos rich type Thurston Howell III in "Gilligan's Island!"
	3:14pm b0b0b0b: yeah when us come down here we'll have to meet...i took a drum clinic frm Ginger Baker up in Milwaukee at a Music store(casio music)that your Clay Pidgeon actually worked at ...he met Baker too
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: Backus also rules in Rebel Without A Cause
	3:15pm David Shortell: In which James Dean briefly imitated Mr. Magoo!
	3:16pm Eric R: "now, son..."
	3:16pm myron feld: Favorite Gilligan's Island line: Mr. Howell is helping the others build a hut: Thurston: "Lovey, what is this strange liquid on my brow?" Lovey: "That's sweat, dear."
	3:16pm b0b0b0b: good name for a blues artist Thirsty Howl the 3rd lol
	3:16pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, playing James Dean's daddy-o!
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @b0b0b0b - cool re GB - I had a moment with Mr Baker too, I'll fill you in when I see you! luvin' all the Backus luv!
	3:20pm Woo: Dennis I hope the Den is sticking around for the summer and beyond. Love this Willie Bobo
	3:20pm Gerry from Miami: One of the mascots on Clay Pigeon's show jere on WFMU is the wolf named Thurston who occasionally lets out a fearsome "howl."
	3:23pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - I'm gonna do my best - THANKS! totally dig my Bobo too!
	3:23pm myron feld: Dennis and everyone, did anyone see Big Joe Turner during his Tramps appearances in the early 80s or anywhere/anytime? Silo-esque!
	3:24pm Jon Graboff: The Velvet Fog!
	3:24pm Woo: The guitar solo on the Johnny Rivers version of SAM may be my favorite guitar solo. If I had to pick.
	3:25pm Mike Sin: Well all right! Hi Dennis!
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - yes, saw Big Joe at the old Tramps - sat next to him at the bar once. at showtime he muttered "well, I guess it's time to get up there and get it all together..." he also kept an eagle eye on his watch during the set! I also saw him sing at Doc Pomus' birthday at the latter's apartment!
	3:27pm Christina Ginger: Checking in from work because I actually have time today! Also, I like bugging Mike Sin.
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: @Mike Sin - hey dude! @Christina Ginger - welcome!
	3:28pm myron feld: @DD: yes, he always checked his watch during the set -- classic! Doc Pomus' apartment -- wow.
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: man, I dig Dan Hicks!!
	3:31pm Mike Sin: ma, I dig hot licks!
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - also in attendance - Otis Blackwell, Mike Stoller...oh, and Andy Schwartz!!
	3:32pm Gerry from Miami: "Viva Las Vegas" with Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley was my high school senior prom movie. 58 years ago!!
	3:33pm David Shortell: I’m intrigued by that line Johnny Rivers sang in the theme to the American edition of “Danger Man”: “They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.” He predicted the premise for Patrick McGoohan’s next series!
	3:33pm Christina Ginger: Man, I don’t think I’ve heard a bad version of Sorrow. It’s such a great tune.
	3:35pm Mike Sin: Nice one from WrecklessEric.
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: The McCoys("Fever," "Hang On, Sloopy") got the first shot at "Sorrow." But the Merseys had the hit. David Bowie put it on the "Pinups" album of his teen faves.
	3:39pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - how cool is that? @David Shortell - I think Sloan/Barri were clued into that -was Danger Man a British show? @Christina Ginger - yes, indeed!
	3:40pm myron feld: @DD: Otis Blackwell....yawn....Mike Stoller....another has-been...but Andy Schwartz?!? WOW!!
	3:41pm Eric R: best Jan and Dean song
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld -right?
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - I do not disagree!
	3:42pm David Shortell: Yes, "Danger Man" debuted in the UK in 1960--before the 1962 movie "Dr. No" kicked off the whole spy-fi craze!
	3:44pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Sloan and his collaborators produced a helluva lot of great records! Genius!
	3:44pm Eric R: we were talking about Danger Man ..day before yesterday? I was saying I'm not sure who Drake worked for. Listening to the intro I find it unclear. He mentions the CIA, Le Deuxieme, MI5, then says when it's messy they contact him. Does that mean MI5 (the last mentioned) or some outside group? I can't tell.
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - oh, man, to be sure, to be sure! one of my favorite songwriters of all time, that PF Sloan!!
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: Are You Experienced and basically every John Lee Hooker song make me think that chord changes are over rated! heh
	3:47pm Eric R: what a crazy session California Dreaming must have been. PF Sloan coming up with the guitar intro, Bud Shank coming in for the break
	3:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!!
	3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Hoboken!
	3:50pm LesleyK: Great show today Dennis. .I gotta log out now but still listening
	3:50pm David Shortell: I've never heard radio airplay of Eric Burdon & the Animals" answer song "Yes, I Am Experienced".
	3:50pm Jon Graboff: Wow. This show went by fast!
	3:51pm Woo: Thanks Dennis! That was fun!
	3:52pm Gerry from Miami: Great show, Dennis! Keep on keepin' on!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - and then there's Aretha's "Chain Of Fools"!
	3:53pm Eric R: Thanks Dennis. I don't know how that could have been 2 hours.
	3:53pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - yeah, man - tho on the original session Barry McGuire played harmonica where the flute solo wails!
	3:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Dan Hicks and Jim Backus in one show!
	3:54pm Eric R: didn't know that, Dennis! That's wild!
	3:55pm myron feld: Great fun, Dennis -- another fantastic program! Thanks!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto @LesleyK @Jon Graboff @Woo @Gerry from Miami @Eric R @myron feld - THANKS!!
	3:57pm Gerry from Miami: MORE...MORE....CHAMPAGNE! DE-LIIIISH-US!!
	3:57pm Jon Graboff: If we can't have you… Da the DJ will do just fine!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: “THANKS A MILLION, YON DENIZENS FOR MAKING THE SCENE TODAY! HERE’S HOPING YOU HAD FUN! THE FAMOUS ‘DA THE DJ’ WILL BE WEAVING HIS MAGIC NEXT WEEK HERE IN ‘DENNY’S DEN!’ I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANG OUT IT THE CHAT ROOM WITH YOUSE! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!”
	3:58pm LesleyK: Thanks for the shout-out! I'll be doing a drop in on 5/28 indeed :)
	4:55pm bellsound: do you have "another life" ?

	2:40pm Reechie: Never knew anybody else cut Zevon's "Follow Me"!
	2:40pm myron feld: "Follow Me" is such a great song. Did this version precede or follow (as it were) the Lyme & Cybele version?
	2:40pm Jon Graboff: @ DA the DJ - hey Dave!
	2:41pm DA the DJ: Hey Jon!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - I think this one came after the L&C version. @DA the DJ - TAST!

	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy, Denny! Just awakening from a midday nap. Not sure what is ailing me. Is this really the one and only Hal Blaine??
	2:46pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - have at it!
	2:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - glad you're here! yes, Hal for all!!
	2:47pm Woo: Backus!
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - the mystery of Hal Blaine's kick drum solved with that cover photo the the Have Fun!!! Play Drums!!!

	2:50pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yeah, if you spin Have Fun!!! Play Drums!!! and check the pics therein Hal will fill you in even more!
	2:51pm Gerry from Miami: Anyone go far enough back to when Jim Backus played ace comedienne's Joan Davis's husband on her great show, "I Married Joan?"
	2:51pm Stu Rutherford: Thanks so much for the accolades, Dennis!
	2:52pm Dan from Peekskill: Rockin out today? Oh Yeah! Lookin forward to sharing my pics from Liverpool with you.
	2:53pm David Shortell: I know you meant to say Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Dennis, but how about playing some Johnny and the Hurricanes?
	2:53pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - to be sure! @Gerry from Miami - yeah, I think the first time I experienced the magic of Backus was on "I Married Joan?"
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: @David Shortell - duly noted! been meaning to spin Johnny and the Hurricanes - will do at some point in the coming weeks!
	2:55pm myron feld: I got a Polaroid Swinger for my elementary school graduation
	2:57pm Dennis Diken: @ myron feld - still usin' it?
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: No Polaroid camera for my family! We were Kodak Brownie Hawkeye users!
	2:58pm myron feld: @DD: nope, sadly lost to the ravages of time
	2:58pm myron feld: But I'm still swinging!
	3:01pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Big Joe Turner got me thinking about all that great post big band, post WW II band leaders. Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Buddy Johnson etal. Such great stuff and would love to hear more of it! BTW, when Amy Allison asked Mose who he really dug coming up, he said that Buddy Johnson was his big love.
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - ask and ye shall receive!!
	3:03pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Buddy Johnson's sister Ella's version of Since I Fell For You puts all other versions to rest! Heard it?
	3:04pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Dennis, Mom Whig, Andrew, Ed, all!
	3:04pm David Shortell: I’ve never seen “I Married Joan”. By that point, Backus had already spent a few years voicing that myopic coot co-created by the Yo La Tengo drummer’s father.
	3:05pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - ca ca ma ca @Hoboken Jack - hey, man!
	3:06pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - Hey, I resemble that remark!
	3:06pm bobobob: Hi Dennis ...bob drummer Plasticland Milw..now in Atlanta..you playin around Atlanta..my friends up in Milw said your show was fantastic
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @bobobob - hey, thanks! nothing booked right now - hopefully sometime this year? I love going to Alanta!
	3:10pm bobob: yeah Jim Backus !! even Mr Maglue ..as charlie would say is grRRREAT!
	3:10pm Gerry from Miami: @ David Shortell. You wouldn't be talking about the venerable Mr. Magoo now, would you??
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: I'm happy to report that I share a birthday with the great Mr. Backus!! may I recommend his fine book Rocks On The Roof?
	3:13pm Gerry from Miami: Don't forget super-Musk/Bezos rich type Thurston Howell III in "Gilligan's Island!"
	3:14pm b0b0b0b: yeah when us come down here we'll have to meet...i took a drum clinic frm Ginger Baker up in Milwaukee at a Music store(casio music)that your Clay Pidgeon actually worked at ...he met Baker too
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: Backus also rules in Rebel Without A Cause
	3:15pm David Shortell: In which James Dean briefly imitated Mr. Magoo!
	3:16pm Eric R: "now, son..."
	3:16pm myron feld: Favorite Gilligan's Island line: Mr. Howell is helping the others build a hut: Thurston: "Lovey, what is this strange liquid on my brow?" Lovey: "That's sweat, dear."
	3:16pm b0b0b0b: good name for a blues artist Thirsty Howl the 3rd lol
	3:16pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, playing James Dean's daddy-o!
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @b0b0b0b - cool re GB - I had a moment with Mr Baker too, I'll fill you in when I see you! luvin' all the Backus luv!
	3:20pm Woo: Dennis I hope the Den is sticking around for the summer and beyond. Love this Willie Bobo
	3:20pm Gerry from Miami: One of the mascots on Clay Pigeon's show jere on WFMU is the wolf named Thurston who occasionally lets out a fearsome "howl."
	3:23pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - I'm gonna do my best - THANKS! totally dig my Bobo too!
	3:23pm myron feld: Dennis and everyone, did anyone see Big Joe Turner during his Tramps appearances in the early 80s or anywhere/anytime? Silo-esque!
	3:24pm Jon Graboff: The Velvet Fog!
	3:24pm Woo: The guitar solo on the Johnny Rivers version of SAM may be my favorite guitar solo. If I had to pick.
	3:25pm Mike Sin: Well all right! Hi Dennis!
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - yes, saw Big Joe at the old Tramps - sat next to him at the bar once. at showtime he muttered "well, I guess it's time to get up there and get it all together..." he also kept an eagle eye on his watch during the set! I also saw him sing at Doc Pomus' birthday at the latter's apartment!
	3:27pm Christina Ginger: Checking in from work because I actually have time today! Also, I like bugging Mike Sin.
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: @Mike Sin - hey dude! @Christina Ginger - welcome!
	3:28pm myron feld: @DD: yes, he always checked his watch during the set -- classic! Doc Pomus' apartment -- wow.
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: man, I dig Dan Hicks!!
	3:31pm Mike Sin: ma, I dig hot licks!
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - also in attendance - Otis Blackwell, Mike Stoller...oh, and Andy Schwartz!!
	3:32pm Gerry from Miami: "Viva Las Vegas" with Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley was my high school senior prom movie. 58 years ago!!
	3:33pm David Shortell: I’m intrigued by that line Johnny Rivers sang in the theme to the American edition of “Danger Man”: “They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.” He predicted the premise for Patrick McGoohan’s next series!
	3:33pm Christina Ginger: Man, I don’t think I’ve heard a bad version of Sorrow. It’s such a great tune.
	3:35pm Mike Sin: Nice one from WrecklessEric.
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: The McCoys("Fever," "Hang On, Sloopy") got the first shot at "Sorrow." But the Merseys had the hit. David Bowie put it on the "Pinups" album of his teen faves.
	3:39pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - how cool is that? @David Shortell - I think Sloan/Barri were clued into that -was Danger Man a British show? @Christina Ginger - yes, indeed!
	3:40pm myron feld: @DD: Otis Blackwell....yawn....Mike Stoller....another has-been...but Andy Schwartz?!? WOW!!
	3:41pm Eric R: best Jan and Dean song
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld -right?
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - I do not disagree!
	3:42pm David Shortell: Yes, "Danger Man" debuted in the UK in 1960--before the 1962 movie "Dr. No" kicked off the whole spy-fi craze!
	3:44pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Sloan and his collaborators produced a helluva lot of great records! Genius!
	3:44pm Eric R: we were talking about Danger Man ..day before yesterday? I was saying I'm not sure who Drake worked for. Listening to the intro I find it unclear. He mentions the CIA, Le Deuxieme, MI5, then says when it's messy they contact him. Does that mean MI5 (the last mentioned) or some outside group? I can't tell.
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - oh, man, to be sure, to be sure! one of my favorite songwriters of all time, that PF Sloan!!
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: Are You Experienced and basically every John Lee Hooker song make me think that chord changes are over rated! heh
	3:47pm Eric R: what a crazy session California Dreaming must have been. PF Sloan coming up with the guitar intro, Bud Shank coming in for the break
	3:49pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!!
	3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Hoboken!
	3:50pm LesleyK: Great show today Dennis. .I gotta log out now but still listening
	3:50pm David Shortell: I've never heard radio airplay of Eric Burdon & the Animals" answer song "Yes, I Am Experienced".
	3:50pm Jon Graboff: Wow. This show went by fast!
	3:51pm Woo: Thanks Dennis! That was fun!
	3:52pm Gerry from Miami: Great show, Dennis! Keep on keepin' on!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - and then there's Aretha's "Chain Of Fools"!
	3:53pm Eric R: Thanks Dennis. I don't know how that could have been 2 hours.
	3:53pm Dennis Diken: @Eric R - yeah, man - tho on the original session Barry McGuire played harmonica where the flute solo wails!
	3:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Dan Hicks and Jim Backus in one show!
	3:54pm Eric R: didn't know that, Dennis! That's wild!
	3:55pm myron feld: Great fun, Dennis -- another fantastic program! Thanks!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto @LesleyK @Jon Graboff @Woo @Gerry from Miami @Eric R @myron feld - THANKS!!
	3:57pm Gerry from Miami: MORE...MORE....CHAMPAGNE! DE-LIIIISH-US!!
	3:57pm Jon Graboff: If we can't have you… Da the DJ will do just fine!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: “THANKS A MILLION, YON DENIZENS FOR MAKING THE SCENE TODAY! HERE’S HOPING YOU HAD FUN! THE FAMOUS ‘DA THE DJ’ WILL BE WEAVING HIS MAGIC NEXT WEEK HERE IN ‘DENNY’S DEN!’ I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANG OUT IT THE CHAT ROOM WITH YOUSE! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!”
