	♥ 3:14pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, will, I'm about to walk across the neighborhood to volunteer outside for the rest of the afternoon. What is wrong with me?
	♥ 3:16pm Handy Haversack: There are no bad sporks, prof.fuzz. Only bad speople.

	3:40pm MFlynn: Same to you you Todd!
	♥ 3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if it were still Rex it'd be Squirrel of my Screams mebee...
	3:47pm Rob from Maryland: Dang, I missed Slade. but I caught Baby Shakes and Bram Tchaikovsky!
	♥ 3:47pm Ciggy: Badfinger was my 1st concert at my high school. Promotional 45s were handed out but were used to fling at opener, David Bromberg. He left during his 2nd song.
	♥ 3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull dangity dangdang Ciggy !!
	3:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Ciggy: That is genius.
	3:50pm PuraVida: @Ciggy have you ever gone to a Bromberg show as an adult & told him that story?
	♥ 3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's selling those 45s off to this day...
	♥ 3:52pm Ciggy: We were a bunch of middle class juvenile delinquents. @PuraVida ~ I don't think he would find the humor in it.
	♥ 3:53pm efd: that Prize song was great! Just put that EP in my Bandcamp wishlist.
	♥ 3:54pm efd: David Bromberg is playing in Woodbridge NJ this coming Wednesday night in case you want to re-create that high school show, @Ciggy.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Saw the Kinks at Brendan Byrne in January 1982, the night of Dwight Clarke (RIP)'s catch (THE CATCH) vs The Cowboys to get the 49'ers into their 1st SuperBowl.
	♥ 3:55pm steveo: Do you ever think to yourself wow this sounds like the kinks and then it turns out it is the kinks?
	♥ 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Okay. Accent on the ARR like a pirate. ...How's that - ??
	♥ 3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Arista)
	♥ 3:58pm Ciggy: Seeing David Bromberg in concert, or anywhere is not in my future plans
	♥ 3:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Looks like a no-pants week coming up.
	♥ 4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man. Woman. Camera. Arista. Bromberg...
	4:01pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Todd!
	4:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Ochre Ogre!
	4:02pm Ochre Ogre: Wonder if 'Yesterday' is a hard song for him to play?
	♥ 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ciggy is a very stable genius...
	♥ 4:07pm Ciggy: RevRabbNov63 - I resemble that remark
	4:07pm clarke: howdy ya'll!! i was not born on the bayou, but nearby.
	♥ 4:07pm Artie: Yip!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: "born near a bayou..."
	4:08pm clarke: that's it!! what's yer dewpoint, FuZZ??
	♥ 4:08pm TonyR: Awwww. when ToPT makes dedications to his honey, it makes me all warm and dizzy inside... oh, wait, that's heatstroke. Never Mind!
	4:09pm clarke: someone mention a Santos siting?? say hey, if so.
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: dew point is an auspicious 63 degrees F
	4:10pm Gerry from Miami: Never much of a Betty Davis fan, TOPT. Her marriage to Miles Davis was a short one, I believe.
	4:11pm clarke: ah, well it just rained here and now boiling that UP - our dewpoint 76!!!
	4:12pm clarke: (which is not the worst there has been!)
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm prof.fuzz: make an offering to the air conditioner gods and you'll be ok
	4:13pm clarke: indeedy - ever'damn 'day
	4:15pm clarke: Giants seem to be going thru 'it' todd??
	4:16pm Gerry from Miami: It's quite hot(92 degrees) down here in Miami. But I have plenty of liquids and air conditioning. So as long as I don't go outside............
	4:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Rex informs me they are in the midst of some big trade talks but I'm dubios anything will transpire since they don't have as much to offer as other interested teams...
	♥ 4:18pm TonyR: It's the little things; Phiily's Broad Street subway cars always well air-conditioned.
	4:18pm Mr C: Total garage soul!
	4:18pm clarke: yes, the pundits were saying there's not much they can do, but i didn't watch the whole deal.
	4:19pm Bluesman: NELSON SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 4:19pm drr: Surely they played in togas...
	4:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Mr C! Right up there with the Eugene Jefferson version!
	♥ 4:20pm drr: Elliott Shavers and His RAZORS was just sittin' there.
	4:21pm PuraVida: Todd brought in that 'little' box of 45's today...
	4:23pm Ochre Ogre: Elliot Shaver's voice sounds a lot like Slim Harpo
	♥ 4:23pm drr: similar thematic interests as well
	♥ 4:24pm TonyR: Too hot for welfare cheese!
	4:24pm Van Winkle ;-): Ta TOPT commenters...just did my "news to moi" Saturday lesson on what exactly dew points represent...we're a sunny and comfortable <61F in my neck of the Pacific northwest.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm listener 126464: This set is wicked good indeed.
	4:25pm Steve Harsh: Loving the old school TOPT!
	4:25pm prudy: Having my first cocktail of the day...thanks Todd for a great set...
	4:26pm clarke: a wicked stack!!
	♥ 4:27pm drr: how is this NOT Abner Jay?!?
	4:27pm PuraVida: You're not finding this set in a jukebox anywhere anytime soon...
	♥ 4:28pm drr: oh, never mind.
	♥ 4:28pm spodiodi: greetings, Todd-o-phonic Todd and all! heard there was welfare cheese
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm prof.fuzz: let's make welfare cheese fries!
	4:30pm prudy: wish I could be there at meet-up...
	4:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: It was not not Abner Jay!
	♥ 4:31pm drr: Our 94-year old neighbor gives us blocks of government cheese because well-meaning people give it to her but she doesn't want it, so we take it and throw it away for her.
	♥ 4:32pm drr: TOPT: I knew it! We learned about him in musicollege.
	♥ 4:33pm drr: prof fuzz: you easily could! Or government queso. The modern gov't cheese is basically unbranded Velveeta.
	4:34pm clarke: there goes todd
	4:34pm PuraVida: Such a great song, still & forever
	4:34pm Mister Dobalina: oh boy!
	4:34pm prudy: drr.: that is so sad AND hilarious...
	4:36pm clarke: as much as i love Rundgren, my favorite story about him is when XTC would play the theme from the munsters when he was walking towards the studio, ha ha ha.
	4:36pm Mister Dobalina: My Baby Loves Sad Songs
	4:36pm PuraVida: When I read Bearsville I think of how f*cked over Paul Pena was by Albert Grossman
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Paul Pena is the guy who wrote Jet Airliner?
	♥ 4:37pm drr: prudy: it's only sad if you were in the market for five pounds of cheese food product.
	♥ 4:38pm drr: turns out we're not.
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ToddR: 'Okay let's work on the Harmonies'... DavidJohansen: 'Harmonies - ?! ...Are youse accusin' us uh havin' Melodies - ?!?'...
	4:39pm PuraVida: Corect. Steve Miller's keyboard player Ben Sidran produced Paul Pena's album at Bearsville that Grossman wouldn't release it danfrank.ca...
	4:39pm Van Winkle ;-): Nick Frater is from Croydon!?! Not too many acts I'm aware of from that neck of the woods other than The Captain and perhaps Johnny Moped... My favorite car got stolen in Croydon...even saw the thief driving it off into the sunset...
	4:41pm clarke: these guys have mellowed a bit! (not a complaint)
	4:43pm Mister Dobalina: A winner has been claimed.
	4:45pm PuraVida: @drr Paul Pena - New Train [Full Album] (1973) www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:46pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Spodi and Clarke! I'd settle for "She Smiled Sweetly."
	♥ 4:46pm drr: Yes! What a depressing story.
	4:47pm PuraVida: @drr Jerry Garcia - pedal steel guitar on "Venutian Lady" and "New Train" Merl Saunders - keyboards on "Venutian Lady" and "New Train"
	4:47pm SamTheRam: Emitt Lynn Rhodes (February 25, 1950 – July 19, 2020)
	4:48pm clarke: jaaack!! turns out the laugh was on him.
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm tadpoles: Oi! SamTheRam...first I've heard of it. Sad to hear.
	4:51pm Greg from JC: U Rock! Where the heck is Margate
	♥ 4:52pm Hoboken Jack: Greg, look for the big elephant
	4:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gref from JC: A little south of Atlantic City. Just past Ventnor.
	4:53pm prudy: drr: thanks for the chuckle...LOVE the Cut Worms...
	4:53pm clarke: or could be in Kent, England, too!
	4:54pm John L: Early Bee Gees would sound good after this Cut Worms.
	♥ 4:55pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd, for playing this Cut Worms track, which is now my official song of Summer ’22!
	4:55pm prudy: Cut Worms dropping their bluegrass vibe?...I've not heard this new record...
	4:56pm clarke: (i have ancestors from margate, UK) Hello Fields! Yer a cookie full of arsenic!!
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @prudy: I tink you might be thinking of a different band?
	4:56pm Greg from JC: Thank you for the guidance
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this BBoys album released between BeatlesForSale & Help! ...cause I was curious...
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm prof.fuzz: damn. way too hot to skate right now.
	4:59pm clarke: even in england!
	♥ 5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Meh - Queers are southeast NewHampshuh ...practically flatlandahs :D ...
	5:00pm prudy: no Todd, I love the Cut Worms...and I know they are not a "bluegrass" band, but their sound TO ME vears in that direction sometime, which I don't care for...
	5:00pm Van Winkle ;-): Enjoyed that Queers Sidewalk Surfer Girl tune...let's hear it for another single syllable band/artist TOPT discovery and intro!!!
	5:02pm ?: @clarke: if not for Rundgren's guidance, Skylarking would probably not have been the success for XTC that it was & their label was ready to drop them if this effort did not sell. Colin left due to Andy's belligerence during the project over his playing. Todd's still making music in 2022, XTC..dead in the water after 2000
	5:03pm clarke: i agree that the album was great, just not their time MAKING IT.
	5:07pm clarke: but also to your further point (which i made no reference to): i haven't heard a rundgren album in years that i would buy.
	5:08pm ?: described by Rundgren as "joyless." Partridge went so far as telling Todd he'd like to "cleave his head with an axe" for taking Colin's side after Andy rejected all of his playing on 'Earn enough for us", the ONLY track recorded live with the whole band present (in less than 5 takes) to which Colin stood up, quit the session & the band.
	♥ 5:08pm efd: Hansie!! Holy moly!
	5:09pm ?: everyone has different tastes..If all people want is Hello It's Me..that ship sailed years ago.
	5:11pm clarke: i go deeper than most with Todd R - but, i haven't bought anything after Almost Human. and you can have that one, too.
	♥ 5:13pm drr: I got A Capella in 1985 when it came out; my first Rundgren actually. That's the last one to have a song on it I really liked.
	5:13pm ?: as always, nice talking with you clarke. I gotta go make dinner :)
	5:13pm clarke: what, you don't want a free record??
	♥ 5:14pm drr: I saw him on the State tour. That was somethin'.
	5:15pm ?: drr..I will say State & Global didn't do anything for me, but there's been plenty since the 90's worth diving into :)
	♥ 5:15pm drr: oh yeah, just learned about the album he produced for Shaun Cassidy.
	5:16pm clarke: WASP - good one!
	5:18pm ?: drr: basically a Utopia LP with Cassidy singing..production = income to finance other projects
	5:19pm Bluesman: Where are you Mike SIN?!?!?
	♥ 5:29pm drr: What happened with Rundgren's kid that played in the minor leagues? I was hoping that would work out.
	5:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: Not sure, but that was discussed when I interviewed him on this show a number of years ago. You can find the interview on YouTube, complete with illustrations!
	5:31pm prudy: have a great evening/whatever everyone, great show TOPT..thank you...
	5:32pm dug: coming in hot than cooling it down. thanks todd!
	5:33pm dug: oh noes. grammar mistake. pedants descend!
	♥ 5:34pm efd: I thought Hansie were Dutch?!
	♥ 5:34pm drr: TOPT: awesome, will look it up!
	5:34pm clarke: so did they!!
	5:34pm Fredericks: Saw David Bromberg a while back. It was great. He made a clear connection between the intro to Mr. Bojangles and a certain Beatles' song.
	5:34pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: None of the above!
	5:35pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Todd, still listening!
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Fredericks: Did anyone throw cd's at him?
	♥ 5:35pm efd: actually I guess Hansie is a her, not a they - Hansje Ravesteijn
	5:35pm clarke: well, they played like they were dutch!!
	♥ 5:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Robyn Hitchcock right next door on Gina's show, for future reference - www.wfmu.org...
	5:39pm nealac: Another forgotten gem!!!
	♥ 5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OH ! ThankYou KenFHP.
	5:39pm Fredericks: Wasting food- even if it's cheese- makes me feel sad.
	5:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @nealac: Not by the likes of us!
	5:40pm nealac: It's been awhile since I heard this jangly killer!
	♥ 5:40pm drr: I bought a David Bromberg record for a buck because it had B. Kliban cover art, turned out to be a very listenable record. It's recorded exceptionally well.
	5:41pm SWK: Great show Todd much appreciated
	5:42pm clarke: in the words of Thurston Howell III: bang-up job, TopT!!
	5:44pm Fredericks: Nope. No cd tossing, Todd.
	♥ 5:44pm drr: Fredericks: I hate to see food go to waste. I wish it were easier for more people to get food stamps because we produce more food than we can use and I'd like to see it distributed better. I guess the government fears people will buy things they like so instead they give out five pound blocks of Velveeta, more than a family can use.
	5:45pm nealac: Thanks for the shout-out!! Great show, Todd, stay cool!!
	♥ 5:46pm drr: TOPT: really enjoyed this show. Sorry I talked so much! Chatty.
	5:46pm clarke: and all those fondue sets in africa!!
	5:46pm Creature Boy: John Peel's favorite band
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm medson: Great show Todd. Off for some late beach action.
	5:47pm Creature Boy: ( the Misunderstood)
	♥ 5:49pm drr: "As the bill stated, any state that would ask for the cheese would get 30 million pounds (14,000 metric tons) of it, in 5-pound (2.3 kg) blocks. The logic behind the distribution was to remove waste effectively and to use all possible resources available in the United States. One representative from the United States Department of Agriculture remarked, "Probably the cheapest and most practical thing would be to dump it in the ocean."
	5:49pm clarke: that's sounds environmentally sound!
	♥ 5:52pm DjLorraine: Solid rock Thanks Todd
	5:52pm Steve Harsh: Thank you Todd as always
	5:53pm clarke: comin' down the home stretttttcccchhhhh... abramson by a mile!!!
	♥ 5:54pm drr: This is like Thin Lizzy meets Meatloaf.
	5:54pm clarke: and this isn't!
	5:55pm nealac: Wait..is this the new afternoon show?
	5:55pm clarke: backwards hi-hat??
	♥ 5:56pm dave miss: Sampled by basement Jaxx… And it sounds a lot like this: m.youtube.com...
	5:57pm clarke: ha ha ha wow/weird
	5:57pm Van Winkle ;-): Titus have changed their sound a bit...I like their earlier stuff too. But that recent track is also good . And all versions I've heard of On My Radio make "the cut". Thanks for another hot summer in the city Sat blast Todd...off I go to self-serve some Nick Gilder tunes. ;-)
	♥ 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the hot times today, Todd.
	♥ 5:58pm spodiodi: great show, Todd! thank you
	♥ 5:58pm drr: dave miss: did you ever know that you're my hero?
	5:58pm clarke: thnx TopT!
	♥ 6:00pm radioronan: Thanks,Todd!
	♥ 6:02pm spodiodi: hi Jack! (just saw it!)

	3:47pm Rob from Maryland: Dang, I missed Slade. but I caught Baby Shakes and Bram Tchaikovsky!
	♥ 3:47pm Ciggy: Badfinger was my 1st concert at my high school. Promotional 45s were handed out but were used to fling at opener, David Bromberg. He left during his 2nd song.
	♥ 3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wull dangity dangdang Ciggy !!
	3:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Ciggy: That is genius.
	3:50pm PuraVida: @Ciggy have you ever gone to a Bromberg show as an adult & told him that story?
	♥ 3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's selling those 45s off to this day...
	♥ 3:52pm Ciggy: We were a bunch of middle class juvenile delinquents. @PuraVida ~ I don't think he would find the humor in it.
	♥ 3:53pm efd: that Prize song was great! Just put that EP in my Bandcamp wishlist.
	♥ 3:54pm efd: David Bromberg is playing in Woodbridge NJ this coming Wednesday night in case you want to re-create that high school show, @Ciggy.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Saw the Kinks at Brendan Byrne in January 1982, the night of Dwight Clarke (RIP)'s catch (THE CATCH) vs The Cowboys to get the 49'ers into their 1st SuperBowl.
	♥ 3:55pm steveo: Do you ever think to yourself wow this sounds like the kinks and then it turns out it is the kinks?
	♥ 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Okay. Accent on the ARR like a pirate. ...How's that - ??
	♥ 3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Arista)
	♥ 3:58pm Ciggy: Seeing David Bromberg in concert, or anywhere is not in my future plans
	♥ 3:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Looks like a no-pants week coming up.
	♥ 4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man. Woman. Camera. Arista. Bromberg...
	4:01pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Todd!
	4:02pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Ochre Ogre!
	4:02pm Ochre Ogre: Wonder if 'Yesterday' is a hard song for him to play?
	♥ 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Ciggy is a very stable genius...
	♥ 4:07pm Ciggy: RevRabbNov63 - I resemble that remark
	4:07pm clarke: howdy ya'll!! i was not born on the bayou, but nearby.
	♥ 4:07pm Artie: Yip!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:08pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: "born near a bayou..."
	4:08pm clarke: that's it!! what's yer dewpoint, FuZZ??
	♥ 4:08pm TonyR: Awwww. when ToPT makes dedications to his honey, it makes me all warm and dizzy inside... oh, wait, that's heatstroke. Never Mind!
	4:09pm clarke: someone mention a Santos siting?? say hey, if so.
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: dew point is an auspicious 63 degrees F
	4:10pm Gerry from Miami: Never much of a Betty Davis fan, TOPT. Her marriage to Miles Davis was a short one, I believe.
	4:11pm clarke: ah, well it just rained here and now boiling that UP - our dewpoint 76!!!
	4:12pm clarke: (which is not the worst there has been!)
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm prof.fuzz: make an offering to the air conditioner gods and you'll be ok
	4:13pm clarke: indeedy - ever'damn 'day
	4:15pm clarke: Giants seem to be going thru 'it' todd??
	4:16pm Gerry from Miami: It's quite hot(92 degrees) down here in Miami. But I have plenty of liquids and air conditioning. So as long as I don't go outside............
	4:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @clarke: Rex informs me they are in the midst of some big trade talks but I'm dubios anything will transpire since they don't have as much to offer as other interested teams...
	♥ 4:18pm TonyR: It's the little things; Phiily's Broad Street subway cars always well air-conditioned.
	4:18pm Mr C: Total garage soul!
	4:18pm clarke: yes, the pundits were saying there's not much they can do, but i didn't watch the whole deal.
	4:19pm Bluesman: NELSON SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 4:19pm drr: Surely they played in togas...
	4:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hey @Mr C! Right up there with the Eugene Jefferson version!
	♥ 4:20pm drr: Elliott Shavers and His RAZORS was just sittin' there.
	4:21pm PuraVida: Todd brought in that 'little' box of 45's today...
	4:23pm Ochre Ogre: Elliot Shaver's voice sounds a lot like Slim Harpo
	♥ 4:23pm drr: similar thematic interests as well
	♥ 4:24pm TonyR: Too hot for welfare cheese!
	4:24pm Van Winkle ;-): Ta TOPT commenters...just did my "news to moi" Saturday lesson on what exactly dew points represent...we're a sunny and comfortable <61F in my neck of the Pacific northwest.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm listener 126464: This set is wicked good indeed.
	4:25pm Steve Harsh: Loving the old school TOPT!
	4:25pm prudy: Having my first cocktail of the day...thanks Todd for a great set...
	4:26pm clarke: a wicked stack!!
	♥ 4:27pm drr: how is this NOT Abner Jay?!?
	4:27pm PuraVida: You're not finding this set in a jukebox anywhere anytime soon...
	♥ 4:28pm drr: oh, never mind.
	♥ 4:28pm spodiodi: greetings, Todd-o-phonic Todd and all! heard there was welfare cheese
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm prof.fuzz: let's make welfare cheese fries!
	4:30pm prudy: wish I could be there at meet-up...
	4:31pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: It was not not Abner Jay!
	♥ 4:31pm drr: Our 94-year old neighbor gives us blocks of government cheese because well-meaning people give it to her but she doesn't want it, so we take it and throw it away for her.
	♥ 4:32pm drr: TOPT: I knew it! We learned about him in musicollege.
	♥ 4:33pm drr: prof fuzz: you easily could! Or government queso. The modern gov't cheese is basically unbranded Velveeta.
	4:34pm clarke: there goes todd
	4:34pm PuraVida: Such a great song, still & forever
	4:34pm Mister Dobalina: oh boy!
	4:34pm prudy: drr.: that is so sad AND hilarious...
	4:36pm clarke: as much as i love Rundgren, my favorite story about him is when XTC would play the theme from the munsters when he was walking towards the studio, ha ha ha.
	4:36pm Mister Dobalina: My Baby Loves Sad Songs
	4:36pm PuraVida: When I read Bearsville I think of how f*cked over Paul Pena was by Albert Grossman
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Paul Pena is the guy who wrote Jet Airliner?
	♥ 4:37pm drr: prudy: it's only sad if you were in the market for five pounds of cheese food product.
	♥ 4:38pm drr: turns out we're not.
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ToddR: 'Okay let's work on the Harmonies'... DavidJohansen: 'Harmonies - ?! ...Are youse accusin' us uh havin' Melodies - ?!?'...
	4:39pm PuraVida: Corect. Steve Miller's keyboard player Ben Sidran produced Paul Pena's album at Bearsville that Grossman wouldn't release it danfrank.ca...
	4:39pm Van Winkle ;-): Nick Frater is from Croydon!?! Not too many acts I'm aware of from that neck of the woods other than The Captain and perhaps Johnny Moped... My favorite car got stolen in Croydon...even saw the thief driving it off into the sunset...
	4:41pm clarke: these guys have mellowed a bit! (not a complaint)
	4:43pm Mister Dobalina: A winner has been claimed.
	4:45pm PuraVida: @drr Paul Pena - New Train [Full Album] (1973) www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:46pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Spodi and Clarke! I'd settle for "She Smiled Sweetly."
	♥ 4:46pm drr: Yes! What a depressing story.
	4:47pm PuraVida: @drr Jerry Garcia - pedal steel guitar on "Venutian Lady" and "New Train" Merl Saunders - keyboards on "Venutian Lady" and "New Train"
	4:47pm SamTheRam: Emitt Lynn Rhodes (February 25, 1950 – July 19, 2020)
	4:48pm clarke: jaaack!! turns out the laugh was on him.
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm tadpoles: Oi! SamTheRam...first I've heard of it. Sad to hear.
	4:51pm Greg from JC: U Rock! Where the heck is Margate
	♥ 4:52pm Hoboken Jack: Greg, look for the big elephant
	4:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Gref from JC: A little south of Atlantic City. Just past Ventnor.
	4:53pm prudy: drr: thanks for the chuckle...LOVE the Cut Worms...
	4:53pm clarke: or could be in Kent, England, too!
	4:54pm John L: Early Bee Gees would sound good after this Cut Worms.
	♥ 4:55pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd, for playing this Cut Worms track, which is now my official song of Summer ’22!
	4:55pm prudy: Cut Worms dropping their bluegrass vibe?...I've not heard this new record...
	4:56pm clarke: (i have ancestors from margate, UK) Hello Fields! Yer a cookie full of arsenic!!
	4:56pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @prudy: I tink you might be thinking of a different band?
	4:56pm Greg from JC: Thank you for the guidance
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this BBoys album released between BeatlesForSale & Help! ...cause I was curious...
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm prof.fuzz: damn. way too hot to skate right now.
	4:59pm clarke: even in england!
	♥ 5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Meh - Queers are southeast NewHampshuh ...practically flatlandahs :D ...
	5:00pm prudy: no Todd, I love the Cut Worms...and I know they are not a "bluegrass" band, but their sound TO ME vears in that direction sometime, which I don't care for...
	5:00pm Van Winkle ;-): Enjoyed that Queers Sidewalk Surfer Girl tune...let's hear it for another single syllable band/artist TOPT discovery and intro!!!
	5:02pm ?: @clarke: if not for Rundgren's guidance, Skylarking would probably not have been the success for XTC that it was & their label was ready to drop them if this effort did not sell. Colin left due to Andy's belligerence during the project over his playing. Todd's still making music in 2022, XTC..dead in the water after 2000
	5:03pm clarke: i agree that the album was great, just not their time MAKING IT.
	5:07pm clarke: but also to your further point (which i made no reference to): i haven't heard a rundgren album in years that i would buy.
	5:08pm ?: described by Rundgren as "joyless." Partridge went so far as telling Todd he'd like to "cleave his head with an axe" for taking Colin's side after Andy rejected all of his playing on 'Earn enough for us", the ONLY track recorded live with the whole band present (in less than 5 takes) to which Colin stood up, quit the session & the band.
	♥ 5:08pm efd: Hansie!! Holy moly!
	5:09pm ?: everyone has different tastes..If all people want is Hello It's Me..that ship sailed years ago.
	5:11pm clarke: i go deeper than most with Todd R - but, i haven't bought anything after Almost Human. and you can have that one, too.
	♥ 5:13pm drr: I got A Capella in 1985 when it came out; my first Rundgren actually. That's the last one to have a song on it I really liked.
	5:13pm ?: as always, nice talking with you clarke. I gotta go make dinner :)
	5:13pm clarke: what, you don't want a free record??
	♥ 5:14pm drr: I saw him on the State tour. That was somethin'.
	5:15pm ?: drr..I will say State & Global didn't do anything for me, but there's been plenty since the 90's worth diving into :)
	♥ 5:15pm drr: oh yeah, just learned about the album he produced for Shaun Cassidy.
	5:16pm clarke: WASP - good one!
	5:18pm ?: drr: basically a Utopia LP with Cassidy singing..production = income to finance other projects
	5:19pm Bluesman: Where are you Mike SIN?!?!?
	♥ 5:29pm drr: What happened with Rundgren's kid that played in the minor leagues? I was hoping that would work out.
	5:30pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @drr: Not sure, but that was discussed when I interviewed him on this show a number of years ago. You can find the interview on YouTube, complete with illustrations!
	5:31pm prudy: have a great evening/whatever everyone, great show TOPT..thank you...
	5:32pm dug: coming in hot than cooling it down. thanks todd!
	5:33pm dug: oh noes. grammar mistake. pedants descend!
	♥ 5:34pm efd: I thought Hansie were Dutch?!
	♥ 5:34pm drr: TOPT: awesome, will look it up!
	5:34pm clarke: so did they!!
	5:34pm Fredericks: Saw David Bromberg a while back. It was great. He made a clear connection between the intro to Mr. Bojangles and a certain Beatles' song.
	5:34pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: None of the above!
	5:35pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Todd, still listening!
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Fredericks: Did anyone throw cd's at him?
	♥ 5:35pm efd: actually I guess Hansie is a her, not a they - Hansje Ravesteijn
	5:35pm clarke: well, they played like they were dutch!!
	♥ 5:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Robyn Hitchcock right next door on Gina's show, for future reference - www.wfmu.org...
	5:39pm nealac: Another forgotten gem!!!
	♥ 5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OH ! ThankYou KenFHP.
	5:39pm Fredericks: Wasting food- even if it's cheese- makes me feel sad.
	5:39pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @nealac: Not by the likes of us!
	5:40pm nealac: It's been awhile since I heard this jangly killer!
	♥ 5:40pm drr: I bought a David Bromberg record for a buck because it had B. Kliban cover art, turned out to be a very listenable record. It's recorded exceptionally well.
	5:41pm SWK: Great show Todd much appreciated
	5:42pm clarke: in the words of Thurston Howell III: bang-up job, TopT!!
	5:44pm Fredericks: Nope. No cd tossing, Todd.
	♥ 5:44pm drr: Fredericks: I hate to see food go to waste. I wish it were easier for more people to get food stamps because we produce more food than we can use and I'd like to see it distributed better. I guess the government fears people will buy things they like so instead they give out five pound blocks of Velveeta, more than a family can use.
	5:45pm nealac: Thanks for the shout-out!! Great show, Todd, stay cool!!
	♥ 5:46pm drr: TOPT: really enjoyed this show. Sorry I talked so much! Chatty.
	5:46pm clarke: and all those fondue sets in africa!!
	5:46pm Creature Boy: John Peel's favorite band
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm medson: Great show Todd. Off for some late beach action.
	5:47pm Creature Boy: ( the Misunderstood)
	♥ 5:49pm drr: "As the bill stated, any state that would ask for the cheese would get 30 million pounds (14,000 metric tons) of it, in 5-pound (2.3 kg) blocks. The logic behind the distribution was to remove waste effectively and to use all possible resources available in the United States. One representative from the United States Department of Agriculture remarked, "Probably the cheapest and most practical thing would be to dump it in the ocean."
	5:49pm clarke: that's sounds environmentally sound!
	♥ 5:52pm DjLorraine: Solid rock Thanks Todd
	5:52pm Steve Harsh: Thank you Todd as always
	5:53pm clarke: comin' down the home stretttttcccchhhhh... abramson by a mile!!!
