	9:21am PaulRobeson1922: Good morning, WFMU Land! Happy Labor Day! (the current state of labor reflects the current state of labor history)
	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now they know how many Holes it takes to fill the MontyHall. A most Unlaborious LaborDay to All.
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: Looks like Bobbi Boyle was a singer for famous "song-poem" label M.S.R. records. Wow.
	9:23am pp: not a bad singer for a vanity label
	👻 9:23am Webhamster Henry: I smell a Mary-Wingy 3oak coming on.
	9:25am pp: Yeti. are you confusing Bobbi Boyle with Bobbi Blake?
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: @pp: I'm just looking stuff up on Discogs (since I'm not working today and have nothing better to do). www.discogs.com...
	9:27am Mark Hurst: @MplsCoco thanks
	👻 9:27am pgalub: Hitchcock- master of suspensions.
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: Awesome show so far, Joe. I'm gonna go start fixing breakfast but I'll be listening for sure.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Were there push-button phones in 1968 that already made "rotary" a necessary adjective? Or is this about the connections one makes in the eponymous club? Pete! Candy Tears was part of our soundtrack driving the other day. You got us through a smidge of New Hampshire and a good chunk of MA!
	9:29am HyperDose: People who create Discogs album pages from catalog numbers are saints. Wouldn't have been able to track down my best friend's late mother's album without it. salute
	9:30am StringOFperils: On November 18, 1963, the first electronic push-button system with touch-tone dialing was commercially offered by Bell Telephone to customers in the Pittsburgh area towns of Carnegie and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, after the DTMF system had been tested for several years in multiple locations, including Greensburg.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: Hi Handy! Happy Labrador Day. - Touch-tone was introduced in 1963
	9:30am Gerry from Miami: Rotary Connection, featuring Minnie Rkperton, should have been stars. Of course, she had her solo career. But the group was ahead of its time.
	👻 9:30am pgalub: Hey Handy! Glad I could assist! ;)
	9:31am Joe McG: Can anyone recommend a good song about a telephone operator except Nick Lowe's "Switchboard Susan"?
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: (They started experimenting with it in 1941)
	👻 9:33am LastWhiteRhino: Jim Croce "Operator"
	9:33am StringOFperils: Must be many versions of Operator (Give Me Jesus on the Line) out there
	9:34am Miss G: But Joe, Nick Lowe's "Switchboard Susan" is a very great song!
	9:34am Handy Haversack: Well, I'm still not sure it was a good idea, YB! And hi!
	9:34am HyperDose: Very Islanders track here
	9:34am dale: well, operator by jim croce. not sure how 'cool' that is to the listeners...
	9:34am Jessie: How about Pete Shelley's Telephone Operator?
	9:35am pp: @YETI yea, Discogs got that wrong. That should be Bobbi Blake with Dick Kent, not Bobbi Boyle https://www.discogs.com/release/13915344-Dick-Kent-Bobbi-Blake-My-Wish-For-You-What-A-Meeting
	9:35am Miss G: YES JESSIE
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so no pushbutton phones til I was 15 days old ...is why my life has been so inconvenient ...also - getting me thru more than just a smidgeon of NewHampshuh here...
	9:35am StringOFperils: The dB's 'Ask For Jill' is about a guy on hold with an operator
	9:35am Joe McG: @Miss G: I love it, but I'm a little too familiar with it! @Jessie: Thanks, that might work!
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: @pp: good catch. are you going to submit a correction?
	9:35am Jack McGuire: ELO's Telephone Line fits the bill.
	9:36am Bernardo: Wow this is cool and it’s new!? Thought it would be from 1963. Thanks JoeMcG
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Arthur Lee said - I feel real Phony when my name is Bill...
	9:37am pp: Never submitted a correction before. Nice that you can do that.
	👻 9:37am YETI BOB: Joe - how about "Memphis Tennessee?"
	9:38am Joe McG: Thanks for your suggestions, everyone!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: I completely forgot about that Pete Shelley solo album! And I used to own it.
	9:39am morphe': Mark Hurst/All: some radio BBC/RTE(IRE)/CBC or?? had a report that China was building its own "internet" to have even more E-Control over the population than already exists and would disconnect the general population from the www???
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Oh my gosh, Joe! I picked up an LP of telephone songs at an antique store in Maine!
	9:41am Joe McG: @Handy: Wow, nice score! Wish you could beam it to me by mental transfer.
	9:42am morphe': Are there cuss words or is my connection having seizures?
	9:43am Handy Haversack: Good Friends Are for Keeps: 100th Year Celebration: America Sings of Telephones !! I know, right? I was thinking it would find its way to the station sooner or later. Maybe see if you can find the medley that contains "Telephone Polka" and "Hello Central, Give Me Heaven"?
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: Handy - was it "Good Friends Are For Keeps" on the Bell System label?
	9:43am Joe McG: @morphe: No cuss words in any of these wholesome tunes.
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: yup!
	9:44am Andrew Waterloo: This song features Neko's collection of rescued pianos.
	9:44am Handy Haversack: Full marks first try, YB!
	9:44am Brendan: Hi Joe! I thought I’d take dip in the Surface Noise pool before summers over. Cannonball!
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: HH: Bell Labs was my first real job (other than mowing lawns). Was so cool seeing so much historic phone stuff. They have (had) a little museum on site.
	9:45am morphe': Saw a big family walking down the street in Madrid yesterday with the big Happy Birthday balloons = one for each year .. there were three !-0-1 .. I asked and it was so .. the family matriarch ..
	9:46am wind: What a great set!!!
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB. The rural phone co. out in Western MI has a neat collection on display as well.
	9:48am Miss G: Yes we're so glad you are on in your regular time slot on Monday morning Joe McG, thank you for all your Labors you do at the station!
	9:48am StringOFperils: We don't know how to navigate Monday mornings without at least knowing you're there, Joe.
	👻 9:49am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:49am morphe': Steam black outs was my internets ...
	9:49am Amir: Hey people
	9:50am chris_in_space: It's Labour Day for us Hosers too. You're not the only nation that offers a token to its working class.
	9:51am Dano59: ended that set appropriately wistful, Joe McG. Neko's Nilsson cover is on Middle Cyclone for those on the hunt for it. I played Lindsey's Sept. Song on my show this week, it's usually a tossup between Jeff Lynne and James Brown for me. WFMU's September Song resource: blog.wfmu.org...
	9:52am Miss G: Thank you for that Dano59. A friend of mine posted a YouTube of Liberace playing "September Song" and I loved it!
	9:53am Dano59: in the U.S. it's more like a token fished out of the boss man's spittoon.
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie & Lennon were buds of course.
	9:53am StringOFperils: We put the U in labour, chris. Not so sure about Ontario tho
	👻 9:54am YETI BOB: @pp: Before you send off that correction, I think Discogs is correct. There was both a Bobbi Boyle and a Bobbi Blake both of them on M.S.R. records. You can read their names on the record labels and covers (images on Discogs)
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: RevRab: Bowie was an Uncle Floyd fan. In an interview somebody asked him how he discovered it, he said "Oh John Lennon turned me on to it". I love to imagine David and John sitting arount watching Floyd.
	9:56am adampsyche: it's an amazing doc Joe!
	👻 9:57am pgalub: Joe Monday meet Joe Friday
	9:58am Joe McG: @pgalub: Ha ha, perfect!
	9:58am morphe': Chris-in-space - is Canuck also derogatory ??? Did ya ever watch the Doc/(true info)/faux doc I recommended ages ago .. also Bowie in Space by the NZ guys - the dramatic video, not live..
	👻 9:58am Webhamster Henry: You can get Dragnet Radio shows on Archive.org. archive.org...
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: OK I gotta go cook breakfast and prep for the cookout later. Thanks for the great show Joe!
	9:59am HyperDose: Thanks, Henry. Going to have a field day sampling those.
	9:59am pp: @yeti thanks. I'll let the pros deal with it.
	9:59am morphe': Chris-in-space - is Canuck also derogatory ??? OOOPPPSS: Robinson in Space Did ya ever watch the Doc/(true info)/faux doc I recommended ages ago .. Robinson in Space
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& TheBeatles embarked on the entire Get Back (/Let It Be) project - immediately after completing the White Album late 1968 - a double album ...let's do a Live show (haven't toured for three years) - but - no - let's write a complete new album from scratch ...oh let's also Film this for our obligation for another movie - none of which we've ever done before. Oh - & all in one month cause Ringo's in a movie soon... No biggies.
	10:02am StringOFperils: Canuck is probably on par with Yank. Both harmless, and antiquated....but with the right inflection and facial contortions, who knows? Never really hear the word much.
	10:04am MrDeb: @webhamster: Thanks! And thanks @JoeMcG. I could listen to this all day
	👻 10:04am YETI BOB: @StringOfPerils: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:05am wind: That was fun!
	10:05am StringOFperils: @yeti > Ha ha ha!
	10:05am Andres: Hi, Joe! Happy Labour Day, peeps! Pancake breakfast in the works here.
	10:06am McGroovey: Aw I wanted to get the whole show! Waaaaa
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I like the episode the acidhead thinks he's a tree...
	10:06am dave wuz here: what year did they invent the quiet spaces between dialog?
	10:07am StringOFperils: Now I wanna watch Highway Patrol
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause the Environment needs trees...
	10:08am HyperDose: No radio at the joke writing desk, McGroovey?
	10:10am pp: The deal with a vanity label like MSR is that the songwriters are amateurs but the singers they hire are professionals. So both Bobbi Blake and Bobbi Boyle were hired guns, so to speak. I may be wrong.
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 EllaMaeMorse
	10:12am morphe': For some other time slot = John Oliver did a good expose not long ago about the Big Industry Carbon Offset Hoax ..
	👻 10:13am DjLorraine: Operator by Manhattan Transfer? I'm late because i practiced sleeping in a van with an a/c using shorepower. I'm trying see if i can make it to a marathon someday.

	10:16am Miss G: morphe' a friend of mine and I are watching on YT "The Naked City." They are so good!
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's another kid never grow up to think he's a tree...
	10:18am morphe': Miss G - there are even more than "..8 Million stories..."
	10:18am Miss G: Here's a good one Naked City S02E09 The Man Who Bit a Diamond in Half.with Walter Matthau and Luther Adler (brother of famed acting teacher Stella Adler) www.youtube.com... (yes, I love that line!)
	10:21am chris_in_space: @StringOFPerils: It's mostly an affectionate term. The Vancouver Canucks hockey club hope so too.
	10:21am Joe McG: Radio shows are fun. There is a show on one of our streams that focuses on them, but I can't remember the title. Can someone help?
	👻 10:22am Will thee Sound Guy: is it the show that Krys O does on Sheena's Jungle Room with the other guy? Wiggle room or something
	👻 10:22am chresti: StringO @9:53: The many colours of labour
	👻 10:23am YETI BOB: Dimestore Radio Theater wfmu.org...

	10:23am McGroovey: Johnny Madero, Pier 23 Jeff Regan, Investigator Murder and Mr. Malone Pete Kelly's Blues One Out of Seven Well, I've never heard the last one. The other ones are basically variations of the same show: Jack Webb as a smartass hardboiled private/amateur dick, helping the downtrodden little guy. In Pete Kelly's Blues, he also plays a trumpet. Jack Webb was a jazz fan.
	10:24am StringOFperils: @chresti > :)
	10:24am morphe': Krys O has a regular on a stream? I thought just fill-ins..
	10:24am McGroovey: Naked City is great.
	10:25am morphe': Can't get Naked City for free with the Madrid IP ..
	10:25am The Butterman: Won’t any of you fakakta dj’s play “September Morn” by Neil Diamond? 25 more September mornings multiplied by 4 WFMU dj’s between midnight and noon leaven 100 opportunities to play it. Or you can go Spazz style and play it in repeat for 3 hours.
	10:26am ?: This is a long freakin track
	10:26am StringOFperils: Try listening to it over and over for 3 hours.
	10:29am ?: why play this version when you can play THIS version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORKY0559F3o "I did this in 7 & 1/2 minutes so you didn't have to... ...and you're welcome. - bop monroe
	10:29am Miss G: morphe' so sorry about the IP problem, too bad. McGroovey now Joe can talk about the superlative Julie London re: Pete Kelly's Blues / Jack Webb (sorry, I am sputtering out)
	10:29am Handy Haversack: I thought this was about a hot-air-balloon festival?
	10:29am G: Saw Bob D. do this one from his current album in the Saenger in New Orleans a few months back.
	👻 10:30am Will thee Sound Guy: morphe' it's a rotating show The Wiggle Room wfmu.org...

	10:38am Listener Bop Monroe: komm gib mir deine hand
	10:40am morphe': Soll das bier im Keller liegen??
	10:41am Brendan: I don’t understand a word of it but her voice is easier on the ears than John Fogerty’s. I wonder if his voice is like that all of the time ,like, even around the house. That would be weird.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Brendan: "I'm taking out the trash eyyyyer...garble garble..."
	10:46am Handy Haversack: Well, I'm off to the river for a few hours. Work work work! Many thanks, Joe! Great stuff! Later on, Surfactants! Stay on top!

	11:04am Andres: Original!
	11:07am The Butterman: Ahhhhhh, Creamo is a gem.
	11:07am Dano59: 2 albums post-CCR (the first as Blue Ridge Rangers) and yes a serious legal morass. He was not heard from again for 9 years after 'John Fogerty' until 1984. He recorded 'Hoodoo' sometime in there and it has never been on even a good-sounding bootleg.
	👻 11:07am DjLorraine: RevRabbit Bill Withers passed in LA at age 81 in 2020
	11:09am Dano59: In other news, I watched 'A Hard Day's Night' last night for. the first time.
	👻 11:09am chresti: dj solo mon might be there? @camp John Waters
	11:11am Miss G: Some goings-on here with older friends/hospitals/out-of-towners so if I miss Sheila B's show on Friday I will hear it in archives. I'm so shivering with anticipation! Last Friday, the last snippet of an unknown piece she played, was like moving through a lush landscape, I thought I had fallen asleep into a beautiful dream!
	11:11am StringOFperils: Is that for real, the Waters thing? I've grown so used to being punkt...still....Mona would be able to summon that...O to believe in things again...
	11:13am Andrew_in_WI: Currently farming as I listen!
	👻 11:14am DjLorraine: Farming is harder than most people will ever realize. No farms no food.
	11:14am Joe McG: @Andrew: Thanks for feeding us all!
	11:18am Miss G: a blessing before meals I heard <For all who toil on sea and soil. That we may eat this daily food. We give our thanks dear Earth.>
	11:19am Listener Bop Monroe: is Chattanoogie near Chattahoochie? asking for a friend.
	11:19am StringOFperils: That spit 'n' polish rhythm is clever.
	11:19am Pax: @Joe McG: you didn't happen to come from the practically defunct mining town of Centralia PA by chance ?
	11:20am Joe McG: @Pax: No, that place is still on fire! I'm from Hazleton.
	11:20am Listener Bop Monroe: oh, it's near Waxachachie, thnx DJ JMcG!
	11:21am coelacanth∅: g'morning, labourers
	11:22am Listener Bop Monroe: ah vootie!
	11:22am Bernardo: Ah Joe McG nice! I’m from round Pixsburgh way where my family worked the coke ovens and the railroads and the steel mills
	11:23am Andrew_in_WI: I'm the boogie-woogie farmer growing basil and herbs!
	11:23am Dean: Judging from this set's playlist so far, I gather women didn't labor during the 20th century. This Gaillard comes closest to suggesting maybe they did?
	11:23am Mike W is a Swag4Lifer without icons: Andre, what kind of herbs ya growin’?
	11:24am Joe McG: @Bernardo: Stay tuned, I have a tune for you soon.
	11:24am Listener Bop Monroe: joan baez singing joe hill don't count...
	11:24am Bernardo: (Hands rubbing together while grinning emoji)
	11:25am Dean: There we go! My mom was a waitress. Not a server, a waitress. One of her regular customers was Scatman Crothers.
	11:26am Pax: @Joe McG: I've been to hazleton a couple times back in 17. I went there with a friend to this giant big ass junkyard which I forget the name of. You probably know the one I'm talking about.
	11:26am Miss G: wow, they list one of my favorite songs, "Pirate Jenny" https://maidintheusa.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/black-womens-work-songs/
	11:27am Joe McG: @Pax: I do know it. Harry's U-Pull It.
	11:27am Marie: great song. great show.
	11:27am coelacanth∅: women worked in factories, and they sewed, and farmed, and cleaned... and held families together
	11:27am StringOFperils: Waiting tables. Labour writ large. Damn, I found that hard. Here's to the wait staff everywhere!
	11:28am Mxter Baba: Huzzah!
	11:30am Dano59: 'Tip That Waitress' -- one of my favorite Labor Songs.
	11:30am Listener Bop Monroe: Do what you wanna Do what you will Just don't mess up Your neighbor's thrill 'N when you pay the bill Kindly leave a little tip And help the next poor sucker On (her) his one way trip -fz
	11:30am kevlicki: Andrew in WI hello fellow farmer! Had to get up before sunrise to move an (empty) chicken coop trailer 14miles from one farm to another. Thankfully the running gear and bald tires held up and we made it in an hour 20min! Excited for our layers to have a new home and fresh pasture. Now I hope I can at least get a Labor Day nap, and sleep off my market “hangover”
	11:32am Dano59: you'll have to play The Scrapple Song sometime, Joe. Those Pa. roots run deep
	11:32am Joe McG: @kevlicki: Well done! Hope the rest of your day is chicken coop free! @Dano59: Ha! One of these days. :)
	11:32am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone. Happy Labor Day.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In other news - HBD John Cage.
	11:32am Pax: @Joe McG: That's the one. If you couldn't find the parts you're were looking for there, then the odds were you couldn't find them at any other junkyard.
	11:32am Andres: Waiting for Donna Summer.
	11:32am Mxter Baba: and hello, Joe and WFMU palz everywhen
	11:33am Dean: Exactly, @Andres. And Dolly Parton.
	11:34am Listener Bop Monroe: you're NOT supposed to say HB John Cage for 4 minutes, right? i forget
	👻 11:35am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe, everyone! Happy Labor Day
	11:35am coelacanth∅: what about Lee Dorsey? (or devo) ... or Gillian Welsch (coal mine songs) hi Baba B
	11:35am Mxter Baba: I think there are two two-minute intervals of nods before John Cage finally blows out the candles
	11:35am Dean: Are there no songs about private equity toilers?

	9:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now they know how many Holes it takes to fill the MontyHall. A most Unlaborious LaborDay to All.
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: Looks like Bobbi Boyle was a singer for famous "song-poem" label M.S.R. records. Wow.
	9:23am pp: not a bad singer for a vanity label
	👻 9:23am Webhamster Henry: I smell a Mary-Wingy 3oak coming on.
	9:25am pp: Yeti. are you confusing Bobbi Boyle with Bobbi Blake?
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: @pp: I'm just looking stuff up on Discogs (since I'm not working today and have nothing better to do). www.discogs.com...
	9:27am Mark Hurst: @MplsCoco thanks
	👻 9:27am pgalub: Hitchcock- master of suspensions.
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: Awesome show so far, Joe. I'm gonna go start fixing breakfast but I'll be listening for sure.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Were there push-button phones in 1968 that already made "rotary" a necessary adjective? Or is this about the connections one makes in the eponymous club? Pete! Candy Tears was part of our soundtrack driving the other day. You got us through a smidge of New Hampshire and a good chunk of MA!
	9:29am HyperDose: People who create Discogs album pages from catalog numbers are saints. Wouldn't have been able to track down my best friend's late mother's album without it. salute
	9:30am StringOFperils: On November 18, 1963, the first electronic push-button system with touch-tone dialing was commercially offered by Bell Telephone to customers in the Pittsburgh area towns of Carnegie and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, after the DTMF system had been tested for several years in multiple locations, including Greensburg.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: Hi Handy! Happy Labrador Day. - Touch-tone was introduced in 1963
	9:30am Gerry from Miami: Rotary Connection, featuring Minnie Rkperton, should have been stars. Of course, she had her solo career. But the group was ahead of its time.
	👻 9:30am pgalub: Hey Handy! Glad I could assist! ;)
	9:31am Joe McG: Can anyone recommend a good song about a telephone operator except Nick Lowe's "Switchboard Susan"?
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: (They started experimenting with it in 1941)
	👻 9:33am LastWhiteRhino: Jim Croce "Operator"
	9:33am StringOFperils: Must be many versions of Operator (Give Me Jesus on the Line) out there
	9:34am Miss G: But Joe, Nick Lowe's "Switchboard Susan" is a very great song!
	9:34am Handy Haversack: Well, I'm still not sure it was a good idea, YB! And hi!
	9:34am HyperDose: Very Islanders track here
	9:34am dale: well, operator by jim croce. not sure how 'cool' that is to the listeners...
	9:34am Jessie: How about Pete Shelley's Telephone Operator?
	9:35am pp: @YETI yea, Discogs got that wrong. That should be Bobbi Blake with Dick Kent, not Bobbi Boyle https://www.discogs.com/release/13915344-Dick-Kent-Bobbi-Blake-My-Wish-For-You-What-A-Meeting
	9:35am Miss G: YES JESSIE
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so no pushbutton phones til I was 15 days old ...is why my life has been so inconvenient ...also - getting me thru more than just a smidgeon of NewHampshuh here...
	9:35am StringOFperils: The dB's 'Ask For Jill' is about a guy on hold with an operator
	9:35am Joe McG: @Miss G: I love it, but I'm a little too familiar with it! @Jessie: Thanks, that might work!
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: @pp: good catch. are you going to submit a correction?
	9:35am Jack McGuire: ELO's Telephone Line fits the bill.
	9:36am Bernardo: Wow this is cool and it’s new!? Thought it would be from 1963. Thanks JoeMcG
	9:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as Arthur Lee said - I feel real Phony when my name is Bill...
	9:37am pp: Never submitted a correction before. Nice that you can do that.
	👻 9:37am YETI BOB: Joe - how about "Memphis Tennessee?"
	9:38am Joe McG: Thanks for your suggestions, everyone!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: I completely forgot about that Pete Shelley solo album! And I used to own it.
	9:39am morphe': Mark Hurst/All: some radio BBC/RTE(IRE)/CBC or?? had a report that China was building its own "internet" to have even more E-Control over the population than already exists and would disconnect the general population from the www???
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Oh my gosh, Joe! I picked up an LP of telephone songs at an antique store in Maine!
	9:41am Joe McG: @Handy: Wow, nice score! Wish you could beam it to me by mental transfer.
	9:42am morphe': Are there cuss words or is my connection having seizures?
	9:43am Handy Haversack: Good Friends Are for Keeps: 100th Year Celebration: America Sings of Telephones !! I know, right? I was thinking it would find its way to the station sooner or later. Maybe see if you can find the medley that contains "Telephone Polka" and "Hello Central, Give Me Heaven"?
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: Handy - was it "Good Friends Are For Keeps" on the Bell System label?
	9:43am Joe McG: @morphe: No cuss words in any of these wholesome tunes.
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: yup!
	9:44am Andrew Waterloo: This song features Neko's collection of rescued pianos.
	9:44am Handy Haversack: Full marks first try, YB!
	9:44am Brendan: Hi Joe! I thought I’d take dip in the Surface Noise pool before summers over. Cannonball!
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: HH: Bell Labs was my first real job (other than mowing lawns). Was so cool seeing so much historic phone stuff. They have (had) a little museum on site.
	9:45am morphe': Saw a big family walking down the street in Madrid yesterday with the big Happy Birthday balloons = one for each year .. there were three !-0-1 .. I asked and it was so .. the family matriarch ..
	9:46am wind: What a great set!!!
	9:47am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB. The rural phone co. out in Western MI has a neat collection on display as well.
	9:48am Miss G: Yes we're so glad you are on in your regular time slot on Monday morning Joe McG, thank you for all your Labors you do at the station!
	9:48am StringOFperils: We don't know how to navigate Monday mornings without at least knowing you're there, Joe.
	👻 9:49am chresti: Morning Joe and surfies!
	9:49am morphe': Steam black outs was my internets ...
	9:49am Amir: Hey people
	9:50am chris_in_space: It's Labour Day for us Hosers too. You're not the only nation that offers a token to its working class.
	9:51am Dano59: ended that set appropriately wistful, Joe McG. Neko's Nilsson cover is on Middle Cyclone for those on the hunt for it. I played Lindsey's Sept. Song on my show this week, it's usually a tossup between Jeff Lynne and James Brown for me. WFMU's September Song resource: blog.wfmu.org...
	9:52am Miss G: Thank you for that Dano59. A friend of mine posted a YouTube of Liberace playing "September Song" and I loved it!
	9:53am Dano59: in the U.S. it's more like a token fished out of the boss man's spittoon.
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie & Lennon were buds of course.
	9:53am StringOFperils: We put the U in labour, chris. Not so sure about Ontario tho
	👻 9:54am YETI BOB: @pp: Before you send off that correction, I think Discogs is correct. There was both a Bobbi Boyle and a Bobbi Blake both of them on M.S.R. records. You can read their names on the record labels and covers (images on Discogs)
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: RevRab: Bowie was an Uncle Floyd fan. In an interview somebody asked him how he discovered it, he said "Oh John Lennon turned me on to it". I love to imagine David and John sitting arount watching Floyd.
	9:56am adampsyche: it's an amazing doc Joe!
	👻 9:57am pgalub: Joe Monday meet Joe Friday
	9:58am Joe McG: @pgalub: Ha ha, perfect!
	9:58am morphe': Chris-in-space - is Canuck also derogatory ??? Did ya ever watch the Doc/(true info)/faux doc I recommended ages ago .. also Bowie in Space by the NZ guys - the dramatic video, not live..
