	2:04pm LesleyK: hey Woo! Mom Whig (i know you are not commenting :) , Stu, myron feld, John Graboff!
	2:05pm Eric R: [scream!!!]
	2:05pm myron feld: what a goddamn rocking band. Still thrills me.
	2:06pm myron feld: hey hey hey LesleyK, MOM, Jon, Woo, Stu, Eric R!
	2:06pm Eric R: I recently saw an interview with Peter Jackson who wants at that Star Club recording. Even before then, some folks have "improved" it and thrown it on youtube.
	2:07pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Lesley, Myron, Eric & Mom!
	2:07pm Eric R: hi all! Great way to start this Wednesday!
	2:09pm LesleyK: hi Eric!
	2:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Dennis and all other listeners!!
	2:10pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi MOM WHIG! Woo!
	2:10pm Woo: When Ringo's daughter (stepdaughter?) graduated from Brown a while back, my friend said he walked past her office and everyone starting screaming. You can't help it. I would probably scream too.
	2:11pm Dennis Diken: welcome LesleyK, MOM WHIG, Jon Graboff, myron feld, Woo, Stu Rutherford, Eric R & Andrew In Toronto! let's party!
	2:12pm Eric R: Woo, when I saw John and Yoko in New York I had no choice but to flee in the opposite direction because otherwise I would have either screamed or melted or something embarrassing
	2:14pm Woo: Eric, I would have done the same. I can't imagine suddenly having them just there.
	2:18pm Woo: I've never seen Ringo live. I saw George on the Dark Horse tour and Paul in the late 90s.
	2:19pm Jon Graboff: Ringo is smammin'! Always thought the I Saw Her Standing There was the most rocking track of the era.
	2:19pm Eric R: very cool. Those must have been great shows
	2:22pm Eric R: sure, a cash in but pretty good, Ella
	2:22pm Dennis Diken: saw Ringo a few times, including his first All-Starr tour - when he had Levon Helm and Jim Keltner drumming along with him!!
	2:23pm Eric R: Dennis, wow!
	2:24pm Nezrok: Hey Denny & Crew! Yeah, Jackie!
	2:25pm Woo: this song (SMS) has Ringo, Paul, George, Eric Clapton and Nicky Hopkins on it. What a combo!
	2:25pm Dennis Diken: hey Nezrok!
	2:25pm Gerry from Miami: I think Lomax's album was the first one released on Apple.
	2:25pm Nezrok: Dennis, I was there at Garden State Arts Center when Springsteen and John Candy came onstage?
	2:26pm Nezrok: Gerry, maybe Mary Hopkins?
	2:26pm MOM WHIG: Hi Eric, Woo, Nezrok, Gerry from Miami, Lesley K, Stu, myron feld, Andrew in Toronto
	2:27pm Eric R: I need to track down the demo for this. Hey Mom!
	2:27pm Dennis Diken: @Nezrok - are you talking about a Ringo show? with Bruce S & John Candy?
	2:28pm Nezrok: Yes, good shoe!
	2:29pm Woo: Hey MOM WHIG. Happy Ringo birthday tomorrow!
	2:30pm Gerry from Miami: Hello to all the DENIZENS! Just got back from the grocery. But now I'm ready to rock with Denny! Ringo! Beatles! Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was a few days after my 17th birthday.
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - glad you're here! I believe the 1st Apple LP release was Wonderwall Music in 1968
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I'll take your word for that! Maybe "Sourmilk Sea" was the first single.
	2:34pm Eric R: ah, Wonderwall, with the Remo Four! And Clapton, too.
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: The closest I ever came to Ringo was watching my mother playing string quartets every Wednesday night in my living room with the cellist and violist from the Ed Sullivan show. Those two guys were on stage with Paul when he performed Yesterday. They offered my brothers and me entry to the afternoon dress rehearsals to the Sullivan show… exept when the Beatles and Rolling Stones were on deck… crowd control for obvious reasons. We were bummed!
	2:36pm Gerry from Miami: MOM WHIG! Fancy finding you here! LOL!
	2:37pm Woo: love that story @Jon Graboff! So close you were.
	2:38pm Jon Graboff: @Woo. Close but no cigar!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: it appears that the 1st Apple 45 was indeed "Hey Jude" / "Revolution" - "Sour Milk Sea" being the 3rd official release. I think the 1st 4 came out at the same time - along with John Foster & Sons Ltd. Black Dyke Mills Band "Thingumybob" / "Yellow Submarine" and Mary Hopkin "Those Were the Days" / "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
	2:41pm captain mike: Hullo all of Denny’s Denizens today Since it’s Twee Moptop day what do all you Beatlemaniacs think is their worst song? I vote “What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party” and Ringo’s “If you got Trouble” as Stinkaroo number one and 2
	2:42pm Eric R: yay Lesley!
	2:42pm Michael Shelley: Afternoon all - saw Ringo once - with Dennis Diken - one of the All Star Band shows (Colin Hay, Paul Carrack, John Waite, Sheila E.). Interestingly, the only time Ringo played without another drummer was on the songs Shelia E. came down front to sing.
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: hi there capt mike & Michael Shelley
	2:42pm LesleyK: Thanks for letting me fill in last week DD. I had a blast!!
	2:43pm Woo: @captain mike, that's why they didn't release those songs at the time. I can't vote for a worst song. They're all fab.
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: hey captain mike! and Michael Shelley - I remember that and it was cool to see him hold the groove down by himself! @LesleyK - indeed! we'll do it again!
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. "Folk musics' Bob Dylan" rings a bell as quotes go!
	2:45pm Eric R: there are a few songs on the later albums that I don't like much but others love.
	2:46pm Eric R: @Jon, that struck me, too!
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - from the genius of Brian Wilson!
	2:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis, oh yes, I recalled the source in full!
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: The Wolf. Nothing like him!
	2:48pm captain mike: @woo Wish Maxwells Silver Hammer had the same fate
	2:49pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, DENNY, for the Apple research. Seems the first 4 singles or so were released in a bunch. Technically, "Hey Jude/"Revolution" claims the crown as the "first."
	2:49pm Woo: I will say I don't go out of my way to listen to Maxwell's Silver Hammer but it's part of Abbey Road so...
	2:50pm Eric R: @captain mike, picking a Paul song I'd just as soon never hear again I'd go with Honey Pie. Wild Honey Pie is much, much better (for me)
	2:52pm myron feld: If I recall my Howlin' Wolf "London Sessions" liner notes correctly, he's credited as "Richie" on that track.
	2:52pm Stu Rutherford: I'm going to go with "Long And Winding Road" as my least favorite.
	2:53pm myron feld: "Rocky Raccoon" here as TWBS.
	2:55pm Stu Rutherford: @myron - You're correct regarding that "London Sessions" credit.
	2:56pm Woo: Revolution 9. I remember listening to that on Christmas morning 1968 and my 9 year old self thinking WTF? I still enjoy hearing it. Turn me on dead man.
	2:56pm captain mike: Thanks for all the input gang I’m guilty of being obsessed with the Fab Four since ‘63 and an occasional reality check is needed like when Handsome Dick Manitoba wished Sgt Pepper NEVER taught that band to play
	2:56pm Stu Rutherford: Klaus on bass for that one Howlin' Wolf track as well. Watts & Wyman are the rhythm section for the rest of the tracks.
	3:00pm MOM WHIG: Cry Baby Cry is so sweet
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - glad you're diggin'!
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Woo - what a great deal back then as a 9 year old
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - totally into "Revolution 9"!
	3:08pm Jon Graboff: now my knowledge of the Beatles is complete by knowing his height!
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - news we can use!
	3:11pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, I had forgotten that Ringo played on that Stephen Stills number, "We Are Not Helpless." Stills went all out on the production of his first solo album! BTW, being a drummer yourself, what is your opinion and the general consensus of Zak Starkey as the current drummer with the Who?
	3:14pm myron feld: "Tell Me Why" among the swinginest of the boys' songs. Love it so much.
	3:15pm Jon Graboff: is it just me, but what's with the distortion on the vocals towards the end of the bridge on Tell Me Why'?
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - I only know Zak's playing from live The Who shows, he's quite good, methinks. but I'd like to check out other work by him. has he recorded with Oasis? or others you might know about?
	3:16pm Jon Graboff: Does anyone know who's playing electric guitar on Ringo's Theme? Vic Flick?
	3:17pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - you will not get an argument from me where "Tell Me Why" is concerned! one of my TOP faves by them!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I think Vic Flick is a pretty good guess! anybody know for sure?
	3:20pm LesleyK: I also love Tell Me Why! And all of the Hard Day's Night album
	3:22pm Stu Rutherford: LOVE Ringo's performance on "Long Tall Sally"!
	3:23pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - yeah, AHDN might be my fave Beatles LP. @Stu - it's totally his best performance, hands down, IMHO!!
	3:23pm Jon Graboff: If this version of Long Tall Sally was one take, who's bashing away on the piano. Sounds like two guitars going on from what I can hear.
	3:24pm Jon Graboff: never mind the previous message. they did have an extra track to use even early on
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - probably George Martin, he was their go to pianee dude back then. and yeah, coulda been an overdub.
	3:25pm Stu Rutherford: @Jon - George Martin on piano on that track.
	3:26pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Ah. Thanks. Even for an accomplished piano player, it's nice the Mr. Martin could slug it out in the trenches!
	3:27pm MOM WHIG: Another GREAT one from Meet The Beatles LP
	3:27pm LesleyK: It won't be long ...another one of my faves.
	3:27pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, Zak Starkey has performed with a LOT of other artists aside from the Who. But I am not familiar with much of this work. It's a thankless role to replace Keith Moon. Ask Kenny Jones!
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - re "It Won't Be Long" - mine too, coulda been killer single
	3:30pm Stan Schmenge: This song is still relevant!
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: hi there Stan S
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: @Stan Schmenge - agreed!
	3:31pm Jon Graboff: we could do and have done worse than Ringo for president!
	3:32pm Nezrok: Dennis for Pres!
	3:33pm Jon Graboff: Ringo swings so hard on Devil in her Heart. So great!
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I had the opportunity to play Ringo's drums once - he wasn't there - but "Devil In Her Heart" was the tune I chose to play!
	3:35pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Nice choice!
	3:35pm Ciggy: Ringo's a Mocker
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: DD I can't IMAGINE the THRILL of it all to sit there and play! Hi there Ciggy
	3:36pm Dennis Diken: @Ciggy - welcome! @Jon Graboff - methinks he swings hard, way hard, on "I Call Your Name" as well!!
	3:36pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, is your tour with the Smithereens still ongoing? I got to see your lead singer, Marshall Crenshaw, at Magic Mountain in southern California, back when his first LP came out. Eons ago! The evening's host was Jerry Mathers, the BEAV!
	3:37pm Jon Graboff: Hard to find a track that Ringo doesn't swing hard on!
	3:37pm myron feld: The piano on this one (Martin?) is exquisite.
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: EXCEPTIONAL for sure!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yes, we go out mostly for extended weekends. do you live in Miami? no plans to head there right now, alas...
	3:39pm Jon Graboff: It's always nice to see that interview clip where Paul talks about the first time that Ringo sat in with them and the other lads turned to each other and though "wow".
	3:40pm myron feld: as a psychedelic pair with "She Said She Said" I'm hoping for "Tomorrow Never Knows" -- one of my very top Ringo sessions. So simple, so direct.
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - indeed, it was a big kick! the kit wasn't old but the cymbals were ancient!
	3:41pm Ciggy: Hi Dennis. If you can't get Marshall Crenshaw, I think the lead singer from Parquet Courts sounds just like Pat DiNizio. Hi Mom
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - indeed, that is totally cool! @myron - next time! do you think "TNK" is a loop?
	3:41pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. If I remember the picture of you, it was the Let It Be double tom kit. Correct?
	3:42pm myron feld: @Jon: I was in a band when that happened. Our drummer, with whom we weren't very happy, missed soundcheck so the drummer from the other band sat in for it. We all looked at each other like "so THAT'S how the songs should sound!" We made the switch the next week.
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: no, I did fondle the "Let It Be" kit (you've seen those pics) but I played a newer job of his
	3:43pm Gerry from Miami: Too bad, Denny. If you ever make it to Miami, I'll do my best to get to the gig!
	3:43pm MOM WHIG: This Hey Baby always make me think of my sister - back in HS the original one was by Bruce Channel 1962
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: @Myron. I think I was in the same band! Ha! Different band of course but the same experience.
	3:44pm myron feld: @DD: I sure hope not! Since '66 I've pictured him playing that beat all the way through!
	3:44pm Eric R: lunch concluded, now where was I? Oh yeah, Ringo is FAB!!!
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Eric - glad you are back
	3:45pm Eric R: I don't think TMK has a drum loop. Yes, they used loops for sound effects and turned the tape the other way around but that was also for an effect.
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: I just looked at the clock. Please don't play "funny how time slips away'!
	3:48pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - well alright! Re TMK - someday I'll listen closely to see what I can hear! @MOM WHIG - yeah, I love Bruce Channel's original version of "Hey Baby"!
	3:48pm MOM WHIG: The WORD is SOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT!!
	3:49pm myron feld: @MOM: as the kids used to say, "Word!"
	3:49pm Eric R: they always played the right notes
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - indeed it is!!
	3:50pm Jon Graboff: Funny how no one ever seems to talk about how cool they arranged backing vocals
	3:50pm MOM WHIG: IN THIS DAY & AGE HERE IN THE USA - WE NEED TO SPREAD PEACE & LOVE - AS RINGO ALWAYS SAYS!!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: Dennis Today's Show is a SPECIAL TREAT once again -- Thanks for an ENCORE!! Happy Birthday Ringo!
	3:52pm Eric R: @Jon, how would you define "no one"? Frere Jacques comes to mind, and the 3 part This Boy....I could talk about the vocal arrangements all day!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I talk about it all the time! @MOM WHIG - thanks so much!!
	3:53pm Eric R: and the 9 part Because!
	3:53pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis. I enjoyed the Ringo encore!!
	3:53pm Jon Graboff: @Eric R. Ok. With the exception of the inhabitants of the Den
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: OLD MAN MUNTZ made a mint off those cartridges, didn't he? Went from the original 4-track to 8-track to cut his tape costs in half!! Not the most reliable of audio formats. And they even rearranged the order of the songs to even out the timing of each pair of stereo tracks, sometimes cutting tunes in half!
	3:54pm Eric R: ha! Jon, that's key. "Nuts" like us.
	3:54pm MOM WHIG: Dennis looks like your are here at the State Theatre near me in VA this July 9th
	3:55pm Jon Graboff: Man. Talk about enjoyable shows. Can't wait to hear it again a year from now!
	3:55pm Eric R: here's a vocal thing I noticed awhile back. At the end of It Won't Be Long, Paul goes up an extra third and I'm sure he got the idea from Til I Kissed You
	3:56pm myron feld: What a show! Thanks, Dennis, and thanks all Denizens for sharing the love.
	3:56pm Eric R: thanks Denny. A great choice to re-run this one.
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - yep, this Saturday at the State in Falls Church!
	3:57pm Stu Rutherford: Great show today (and last year) Dennis! Time flies when Ringo's on drums!
	3:57pm WLSClark: Oh man, looks like I missed a real RINGER of a RINGO show. Sorry, so late to the party.
	3:58pm MOM WHIG: Dennis sorry I won't be there. You will love the place - I used to go there when it was a theater back in the 60's. I grew up here in McLean.
	3:58pm Jon Graboff: 100 shows? You can't get deals like this everywhere!
	3:58pm MOM WHIG: Stu - see you tonite then!
	4:00pm Stu Rutherford: See you then, Mom!
	4:00pm Dennis Diken: “THANK YOU SO MUCH ‘YON DENIZENS’ FOR MAKIN’ THE SCENE TODAY! NEXT WEEK – AN ALL NEW SHOW – THE 100TH ‘DENNY’S DEN’! CAN YOU DIG THAT?! HOPE YOU CAN JOIN ME! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!”
	4:00pm MOM WHIG: Dennis your 100th & bpn 300th
	4:01pm Eric R: see you later everyone!

	2:05pm Eric R: [scream!!!]
	2:05pm myron feld: what a goddamn rocking band. Still thrills me.
	2:06pm myron feld: hey hey hey LesleyK, MOM, Jon, Woo, Stu, Eric R!
	2:06pm Eric R: I recently saw an interview with Peter Jackson who wants at that Star Club recording. Even before then, some folks have "improved" it and thrown it on youtube.
	2:07pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Lesley, Myron, Eric & Mom!
	2:07pm Eric R: hi all! Great way to start this Wednesday!
	2:09pm LesleyK: hi Eric!
	2:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Dennis and all other listeners!!
	2:10pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi MOM WHIG! Woo!
	2:10pm Woo: When Ringo's daughter (stepdaughter?) graduated from Brown a while back, my friend said he walked past her office and everyone starting screaming. You can't help it. I would probably scream too.
	2:11pm Dennis Diken: welcome LesleyK, MOM WHIG, Jon Graboff, myron feld, Woo, Stu Rutherford, Eric R & Andrew In Toronto! let's party!
	2:12pm Eric R: Woo, when I saw John and Yoko in New York I had no choice but to flee in the opposite direction because otherwise I would have either screamed or melted or something embarrassing
	2:14pm Woo: Eric, I would have done the same. I can't imagine suddenly having them just there.
	2:18pm Woo: I've never seen Ringo live. I saw George on the Dark Horse tour and Paul in the late 90s.
	2:19pm Jon Graboff: Ringo is smammin'! Always thought the I Saw Her Standing There was the most rocking track of the era.
	2:19pm Eric R: very cool. Those must have been great shows
	2:22pm Eric R: sure, a cash in but pretty good, Ella
	2:22pm Dennis Diken: saw Ringo a few times, including his first All-Starr tour - when he had Levon Helm and Jim Keltner drumming along with him!!
	2:23pm Eric R: Dennis, wow!
	2:24pm Nezrok: Hey Denny & Crew! Yeah, Jackie!
	2:25pm Woo: this song (SMS) has Ringo, Paul, George, Eric Clapton and Nicky Hopkins on it. What a combo!
	2:25pm Dennis Diken: hey Nezrok!
	2:25pm Gerry from Miami: I think Lomax's album was the first one released on Apple.
	2:25pm Nezrok: Dennis, I was there at Garden State Arts Center when Springsteen and John Candy came onstage?
	2:26pm Nezrok: Gerry, maybe Mary Hopkins?
	2:26pm MOM WHIG: Hi Eric, Woo, Nezrok, Gerry from Miami, Lesley K, Stu, myron feld, Andrew in Toronto
	2:27pm Eric R: I need to track down the demo for this. Hey Mom!
	2:27pm Dennis Diken: @Nezrok - are you talking about a Ringo show? with Bruce S & John Candy?
	2:28pm Nezrok: Yes, good shoe!
	2:29pm Woo: Hey MOM WHIG. Happy Ringo birthday tomorrow!
	2:30pm Gerry from Miami: Hello to all the DENIZENS! Just got back from the grocery. But now I'm ready to rock with Denny! Ringo! Beatles! Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was a few days after my 17th birthday.
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - glad you're here! I believe the 1st Apple LP release was Wonderwall Music in 1968
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I'll take your word for that! Maybe "Sourmilk Sea" was the first single.
	2:34pm Eric R: ah, Wonderwall, with the Remo Four! And Clapton, too.
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: The closest I ever came to Ringo was watching my mother playing string quartets every Wednesday night in my living room with the cellist and violist from the Ed Sullivan show. Those two guys were on stage with Paul when he performed Yesterday. They offered my brothers and me entry to the afternoon dress rehearsals to the Sullivan show… exept when the Beatles and Rolling Stones were on deck… crowd control for obvious reasons. We were bummed!
	2:36pm Gerry from Miami: MOM WHIG! Fancy finding you here! LOL!
	2:37pm Woo: love that story @Jon Graboff! So close you were.
	2:38pm Jon Graboff: @Woo. Close but no cigar!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: it appears that the 1st Apple 45 was indeed "Hey Jude" / "Revolution" - "Sour Milk Sea" being the 3rd official release. I think the 1st 4 came out at the same time - along with John Foster & Sons Ltd. Black Dyke Mills Band "Thingumybob" / "Yellow Submarine" and Mary Hopkin "Those Were the Days" / "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
	2:41pm captain mike: Hullo all of Denny’s Denizens today Since it’s Twee Moptop day what do all you Beatlemaniacs think is their worst song? I vote “What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party” and Ringo’s “If you got Trouble” as Stinkaroo number one and 2
	2:42pm Eric R: yay Lesley!
	2:42pm Michael Shelley: Afternoon all - saw Ringo once - with Dennis Diken - one of the All Star Band shows (Colin Hay, Paul Carrack, John Waite, Sheila E.). Interestingly, the only time Ringo played without another drummer was on the songs Shelia E. came down front to sing.
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: hi there capt mike & Michael Shelley
	2:42pm LesleyK: Thanks for letting me fill in last week DD. I had a blast!!
	2:43pm Woo: @captain mike, that's why they didn't release those songs at the time. I can't vote for a worst song. They're all fab.
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: hey captain mike! and Michael Shelley - I remember that and it was cool to see him hold the groove down by himself! @LesleyK - indeed! we'll do it again!
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. "Folk musics' Bob Dylan" rings a bell as quotes go!
	2:45pm Eric R: there are a few songs on the later albums that I don't like much but others love.
	2:46pm Eric R: @Jon, that struck me, too!
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - from the genius of Brian Wilson!
	2:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis, oh yes, I recalled the source in full!
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: The Wolf. Nothing like him!
	2:48pm captain mike: @woo Wish Maxwells Silver Hammer had the same fate
	2:49pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, DENNY, for the Apple research. Seems the first 4 singles or so were released in a bunch. Technically, "Hey Jude/"Revolution" claims the crown as the "first."
	2:49pm Woo: I will say I don't go out of my way to listen to Maxwell's Silver Hammer but it's part of Abbey Road so...
	2:50pm Eric R: @captain mike, picking a Paul song I'd just as soon never hear again I'd go with Honey Pie. Wild Honey Pie is much, much better (for me)
	2:52pm myron feld: If I recall my Howlin' Wolf "London Sessions" liner notes correctly, he's credited as "Richie" on that track.
	2:52pm Stu Rutherford: I'm going to go with "Long And Winding Road" as my least favorite.
	2:53pm myron feld: "Rocky Raccoon" here as TWBS.
	2:55pm Stu Rutherford: @myron - You're correct regarding that "London Sessions" credit.
	2:56pm Woo: Revolution 9. I remember listening to that on Christmas morning 1968 and my 9 year old self thinking WTF? I still enjoy hearing it. Turn me on dead man.
	2:56pm captain mike: Thanks for all the input gang I’m guilty of being obsessed with the Fab Four since ‘63 and an occasional reality check is needed like when Handsome Dick Manitoba wished Sgt Pepper NEVER taught that band to play
	2:56pm Stu Rutherford: Klaus on bass for that one Howlin' Wolf track as well. Watts & Wyman are the rhythm section for the rest of the tracks.
	3:00pm MOM WHIG: Cry Baby Cry is so sweet
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - glad you're diggin'!
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Woo - what a great deal back then as a 9 year old
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - totally into "Revolution 9"!
	3:08pm Jon Graboff: now my knowledge of the Beatles is complete by knowing his height!
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - news we can use!
	3:11pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, I had forgotten that Ringo played on that Stephen Stills number, "We Are Not Helpless." Stills went all out on the production of his first solo album! BTW, being a drummer yourself, what is your opinion and the general consensus of Zak Starkey as the current drummer with the Who?
	3:14pm myron feld: "Tell Me Why" among the swinginest of the boys' songs. Love it so much.
	3:15pm Jon Graboff: is it just me, but what's with the distortion on the vocals towards the end of the bridge on Tell Me Why'?
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - I only know Zak's playing from live The Who shows, he's quite good, methinks. but I'd like to check out other work by him. has he recorded with Oasis? or others you might know about?
	3:16pm Jon Graboff: Does anyone know who's playing electric guitar on Ringo's Theme? Vic Flick?
	3:17pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - you will not get an argument from me where "Tell Me Why" is concerned! one of my TOP faves by them!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I think Vic Flick is a pretty good guess! anybody know for sure?
	3:20pm LesleyK: I also love Tell Me Why! And all of the Hard Day's Night album
	3:22pm Stu Rutherford: LOVE Ringo's performance on "Long Tall Sally"!
	3:23pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - yeah, AHDN might be my fave Beatles LP. @Stu - it's totally his best performance, hands down, IMHO!!
	3:23pm Jon Graboff: If this version of Long Tall Sally was one take, who's bashing away on the piano. Sounds like two guitars going on from what I can hear.
	3:24pm Jon Graboff: never mind the previous message. they did have an extra track to use even early on
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - probably George Martin, he was their go to pianee dude back then. and yeah, coulda been an overdub.
	3:25pm Stu Rutherford: @Jon - George Martin on piano on that track.
	3:26pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Ah. Thanks. Even for an accomplished piano player, it's nice the Mr. Martin could slug it out in the trenches!
	3:27pm MOM WHIG: Another GREAT one from Meet The Beatles LP
	3:27pm LesleyK: It won't be long ...another one of my faves.
	3:27pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, Zak Starkey has performed with a LOT of other artists aside from the Who. But I am not familiar with much of this work. It's a thankless role to replace Keith Moon. Ask Kenny Jones!
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - re "It Won't Be Long" - mine too, coulda been killer single
	3:30pm Stan Schmenge: This song is still relevant!
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: hi there Stan S
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: @Stan Schmenge - agreed!
	3:31pm Jon Graboff: we could do and have done worse than Ringo for president!
	3:32pm Nezrok: Dennis for Pres!
	3:33pm Jon Graboff: Ringo swings so hard on Devil in her Heart. So great!
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I had the opportunity to play Ringo's drums once - he wasn't there - but "Devil In Her Heart" was the tune I chose to play!
	3:35pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Nice choice!
	3:35pm Ciggy: Ringo's a Mocker
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: DD I can't IMAGINE the THRILL of it all to sit there and play! Hi there Ciggy
	3:36pm Dennis Diken: @Ciggy - welcome! @Jon Graboff - methinks he swings hard, way hard, on "I Call Your Name" as well!!
	3:36pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, is your tour with the Smithereens still ongoing? I got to see your lead singer, Marshall Crenshaw, at Magic Mountain in southern California, back when his first LP came out. Eons ago! The evening's host was Jerry Mathers, the BEAV!
	3:37pm Jon Graboff: Hard to find a track that Ringo doesn't swing hard on!
	3:37pm myron feld: The piano on this one (Martin?) is exquisite.
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: EXCEPTIONAL for sure!
	3:38pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yes, we go out mostly for extended weekends. do you live in Miami? no plans to head there right now, alas...
	3:39pm Jon Graboff: It's always nice to see that interview clip where Paul talks about the first time that Ringo sat in with them and the other lads turned to each other and though "wow".
	3:40pm myron feld: as a psychedelic pair with "She Said She Said" I'm hoping for "Tomorrow Never Knows" -- one of my very top Ringo sessions. So simple, so direct.
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - indeed, it was a big kick! the kit wasn't old but the cymbals were ancient!
	3:41pm Ciggy: Hi Dennis. If you can't get Marshall Crenshaw, I think the lead singer from Parquet Courts sounds just like Pat DiNizio. Hi Mom
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - indeed, that is totally cool! @myron - next time! do you think "TNK" is a loop?
	3:41pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. If I remember the picture of you, it was the Let It Be double tom kit. Correct?
	3:42pm myron feld: @Jon: I was in a band when that happened. Our drummer, with whom we weren't very happy, missed soundcheck so the drummer from the other band sat in for it. We all looked at each other like "so THAT'S how the songs should sound!" We made the switch the next week.
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: no, I did fondle the "Let It Be" kit (you've seen those pics) but I played a newer job of his
	3:43pm Gerry from Miami: Too bad, Denny. If you ever make it to Miami, I'll do my best to get to the gig!
	3:43pm MOM WHIG: This Hey Baby always make me think of my sister - back in HS the original one was by Bruce Channel 1962
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: @Myron. I think I was in the same band! Ha! Different band of course but the same experience.
	3:44pm myron feld: @DD: I sure hope not! Since '66 I've pictured him playing that beat all the way through!
	3:44pm Eric R: lunch concluded, now where was I? Oh yeah, Ringo is FAB!!!
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Eric - glad you are back
	3:45pm Eric R: I don't think TMK has a drum loop. Yes, they used loops for sound effects and turned the tape the other way around but that was also for an effect.
	3:47pm Jon Graboff: I just looked at the clock. Please don't play "funny how time slips away'!
	3:48pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - well alright! Re TMK - someday I'll listen closely to see what I can hear! @MOM WHIG - yeah, I love Bruce Channel's original version of "Hey Baby"!
	3:48pm MOM WHIG: The WORD is SOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT!!
	3:49pm myron feld: @MOM: as the kids used to say, "Word!"
	3:49pm Eric R: they always played the right notes
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - indeed it is!!
	3:50pm Jon Graboff: Funny how no one ever seems to talk about how cool they arranged backing vocals
	3:50pm MOM WHIG: IN THIS DAY & AGE HERE IN THE USA - WE NEED TO SPREAD PEACE & LOVE - AS RINGO ALWAYS SAYS!!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: Dennis Today's Show is a SPECIAL TREAT once again -- Thanks for an ENCORE!! Happy Birthday Ringo!
	3:52pm Eric R: @Jon, how would you define "no one"? Frere Jacques comes to mind, and the 3 part This Boy....I could talk about the vocal arrangements all day!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I talk about it all the time! @MOM WHIG - thanks so much!!
	3:53pm Eric R: and the 9 part Because!
	3:53pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis. I enjoyed the Ringo encore!!
	3:53pm Jon Graboff: @Eric R. Ok. With the exception of the inhabitants of the Den
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: OLD MAN MUNTZ made a mint off those cartridges, didn't he? Went from the original 4-track to 8-track to cut his tape costs in half!! Not the most reliable of audio formats. And they even rearranged the order of the songs to even out the timing of each pair of stereo tracks, sometimes cutting tunes in half!
	3:54pm Eric R: ha! Jon, that's key. "Nuts" like us.
	3:54pm MOM WHIG: Dennis looks like your are here at the State Theatre near me in VA this July 9th
	3:55pm Jon Graboff: Man. Talk about enjoyable shows. Can't wait to hear it again a year from now!
	3:55pm Eric R: here's a vocal thing I noticed awhile back. At the end of It Won't Be Long, Paul goes up an extra third and I'm sure he got the idea from Til I Kissed You
	3:56pm myron feld: What a show! Thanks, Dennis, and thanks all Denizens for sharing the love.
	3:56pm Eric R: thanks Denny. A great choice to re-run this one.
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - yep, this Saturday at the State in Falls Church!
	3:57pm Stu Rutherford: Great show today (and last year) Dennis! Time flies when Ringo's on drums!
	3:57pm WLSClark: Oh man, looks like I missed a real RINGER of a RINGO show. Sorry, so late to the party.
	3:58pm MOM WHIG: Dennis sorry I won't be there. You will love the place - I used to go there when it was a theater back in the 60's. I grew up here in McLean.
	3:58pm Jon Graboff: 100 shows? You can't get deals like this everywhere!
	3:58pm MOM WHIG: Stu - see you tonite then!
	4:00pm Stu Rutherford: See you then, Mom!
	4:00pm Dennis Diken: “THANK YOU SO MUCH ‘YON DENIZENS’ FOR MAKIN’ THE SCENE TODAY! NEXT WEEK – AN ALL NEW SHOW – THE 100TH ‘DENNY’S DEN’! CAN YOU DIG THAT?! HOPE YOU CAN JOIN ME! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!”
	4:00pm MOM WHIG: Dennis your 100th & bpn 300th
	4:01pm Eric R: see you later everyone!
