	2:20pm Dennis Diken: HEY EVERYONE - WLSClark is doing the Drop In this Saturday 6-7pm! lookin' forward! wfmu.org...
	2:20pm Gerry from Miami: Happiest of New Year's, DENNY! I once worked in a record shop in San Pedro, CA. We had to keep a supply of Richie Valens records on hand to satisfy our Mexican-American customers. Kids as young as 6 would come in looking for "Donna" or "La Bamba." They wanted to own the same music that the adults in their lives cherished. Aside from Richie's tunes, we had to keep tunes like "Angel Baby" by Rosie and the Originals on hand. Some of our "celeb" customers included Brenton Wood and Barry Whte. Apollonia(aka Patty "Purple Rain" Kotero) used to stop in on occasion(without Prince, though!)
	2:21pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - How was the Dr trip today? Glad you are here
	2:21pm Listener Baby: Myron. I somehow knew you had this day figured out. Hugs, Baby.
	2:21pm myron feld: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:20 Excellent news!
	2:22pm WLSClark: Thanks Dennis! My avatar has a clue to what they hear!
	2:23pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:20 very cool Gerry from Miami! I met Barry White a few times, he was always very cool. love Ritchie!
	2:23pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Dennis & everyone!

	2:24pm Listener Baby: Hello Candy-O.
	2:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:23 Dennis have you ever seen the Barry White concert in London during his prime?
	2:24pm Gerry from Miami: If there was one rock superstar I would love to meet, it would be Brian Wilson, with Elvis Costello a close second.
	2:24pm Dennis Diken: @Stu Rutherford - hey, man!
	2:25pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Stu Rutherford @2:23 Hi there
	2:25pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom!
	2:26pm WLSClark: Back when this came out, I imagined Rod was playing the guitar here. haha
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @2:23 this Pet Clark Memphis Lp was cut at American Studio with the fabulous house band and produced by Chips Moman!
	2:27pm Woo: Rod was something for a while
	2:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:26 Dennis, so cool!
	2:27pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't "Neon Rainbow" an Alex Chilton tune?
	2:27pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Woo @2:27 to be sure!
	2:27pm gene sculatti: Thanks for rehabilitating Roddy! Great performance.
	2:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:24 Elvis is a very articulate and personable guy.
	2:27pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @2:27 I'll always remember when Maggie Mae came out
	2:27pm MOM WHIG: ↳ gene sculatti @2:27 hey there
	2:28pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:27 the Boxtops cut "Neon Rainbow," yes
	2:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart" THIS song is like The Letter. A hit 3 times and each had totally different and great take on the song. Temps/Rare earth/Rod. Letter with Box Tops/Arbors/Cocker. Just great all!
	2:28pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy to my buddy, MOM WHIG!
	2:29pm Dennis Diken: ↳ gene sculatti @2:27 @gene sculatti - just heard a rerun of your interview with Ghosty on his Sunday show! cool!
	2:29pm Eric R: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:24 hi all! Gerry, I met Brian Wilson. Unfortunately it was during a time when he wasn't very communicative. I re-tell the story now (usually) with some made up stuff which makes it sound much more fun.
	2:29pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:28 Nice you are here
	2:29pm Woo: every picture tells a story donut
	2:29pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Eric R @2:29 Morning to you there

	2:32pm WLSClark: Jerry Ross did soem great stuff then.
	2:32pm myron feld: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:27 Gerry: Neon Rainbow written by Wayne Carson, who wrote lots of great songs (including The Letter and Soul Deep also done by the Box Tops)
	2:32pm Eric R: ↳ WLSClark @2:31 boy, this is an updated sound for him! No Butterfly here
	2:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:24 if you catch Brian W on a good day he can actually be nicely engaging!
	2:33pm Listener Baby: And all Ron Wood did was play guitar and bass on some of the greatest records ever cut.
	2:34pm myron feld: ↳ Listener Baby @2:33 You said it! His bass playing w/ the Jeff Beck Group is way underrated.
	2:35pm Yod Crewsy: Hi Dennis and all Den Dwellers!! Happy New year and happy hump day!!!
	2:35pm lindac: Hi Dennis!
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Yod Crewsy @2:35 Glad you made it here

	2:20pm Dennis Diken: HEY EVERYONE - WLSClark is doing the Drop In this Saturday 6-7pm! lookin' forward! wfmu.org...
	2:20pm Gerry from Miami: Happiest of New Year's, DENNY! I once worked in a record shop in San Pedro, CA. We had to keep a supply of Richie Valens records on hand to satisfy our Mexican-American customers. Kids as young as 6 would come in looking for "Donna" or "La Bamba." They wanted to own the same music that the adults in their lives cherished. Aside from Richie's tunes, we had to keep tunes like "Angel Baby" by Rosie and the Originals on hand. Some of our "celeb" customers included Brenton Wood and Barry Whte. Apollonia(aka Patty "Purple Rain" Kotero) used to stop in on occasion(without Prince, though!)
	2:21pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - How was the Dr trip today? Glad you are here
	2:21pm Listener Baby: Myron. I somehow knew you had this day figured out. Hugs, Baby.
	2:21pm myron feld: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:20 Excellent news!

	2:23pm Snayle: WHOOHOO WLS CLARK !!! Fantastic !!! Looking forard to listening!!! YAY !!!
	2:24pm Listener Baby: Hello Candy-O.
	2:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:23 Dennis have you ever seen the Barry White concert in London during his prime?
	2:24pm Gerry from Miami: If there was one rock superstar I would love to meet, it would be Brian Wilson, with Elvis Costello a close second.
	2:24pm Dennis Diken: @Stu Rutherford - hey, man!
	2:25pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Stu Rutherford @2:23 Hi there
	2:25pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom!
	2:26pm WLSClark: Back when this came out, I imagined Rod was playing the guitar here. haha
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @2:23 this Pet Clark Memphis Lp was cut at American Studio with the fabulous house band and produced by Chips Moman!
	2:27pm Woo: Rod was something for a while
	2:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:26 Dennis, so cool!
	2:27pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't "Neon Rainbow" an Alex Chilton tune?

	2:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart" THIS song is like The Letter. A hit 3 times and each had totally different and great take on the song. Temps/Rare earth/Rod. Letter with Box Tops/Arbors/Cocker. Just great all!
	2:28pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy to my buddy, MOM WHIG!
	2:29pm Dennis Diken: ↳ gene sculatti @2:27 @gene sculatti - just heard a rerun of your interview with Ghosty on his Sunday show! cool!
	2:29pm Eric R: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:24 hi all! Gerry, I met Brian Wilson. Unfortunately it was during a time when he wasn't very communicative. I re-tell the story now (usually) with some made up stuff which makes it sound much more fun.
	2:29pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:28 Nice you are here
	2:29pm Woo: every picture tells a story donut
	2:29pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Eric R @2:29 Morning to you there

	2:32pm myron feld: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:27 Gerry: Neon Rainbow written by Wayne Carson, who wrote lots of great songs (including The Letter and Soul Deep also done by the Box Tops)
	2:32pm Eric R: ↳ WLSClark @2:31 boy, this is an updated sound for him! No Butterfly here
	2:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:24 if you catch Brian W on a good day he can actually be nicely engaging!
	2:33pm Listener Baby: And all Ron Wood did was play guitar and bass on some of the greatest records ever cut.
	2:34pm myron feld: ↳ Listener Baby @2:33 You said it! His bass playing w/ the Jeff Beck Group is way underrated.
	2:35pm Yod Crewsy: Hi Dennis and all Den Dwellers!! Happy New year and happy hump day!!!
	2:35pm lindac: Hi Dennis!
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Yod Crewsy @2:35 Glad you made it here
