	6:08am morphe': Madrid Magpies (Urracas) picking the cheese out of the chopped up Comte on Pita sandwich which wound up spread across the floor of the kitchen this am....
	6:08am morphe': Fluffy!!!!!!
	6:08am Rob from Maryland: FLUFFY, where are you??!! FLUFFY??!!
	6:09am morphe': Had 3 girlfriends in 25 years and they all 3 hated this tune .....
	♥ 6:09am Onion: Fluffy. Got this on an old Rhino compilation...
	6:09am Rob from Maryland: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" I've heard this exact song. I just can't remember when and where (nor my age at the time)
	6:10am Rob from Maryland: ↳ Rob from Maryland @6:09 Maybe I was actually listening to Dr. Demento
	♥ 6:11am dale: this could have been a james bond theme.
	6:11am LiXiviated Life: Fluffy socks worn often not

	6:12am morphe': Fluffy was a staple on Greasey Kid Stuff ....
	6:12am Cooh John: Good morning Jim, Amanda, and manimals. Friend had a dog named Fluffy.
	♥ 6:12am dale: ↳ Rob from Maryland @6:09 hova and belinda played it often on greasy kid stuff if you were listening back then.
	6:14am sonny jim: oh my
	6:17am Rob from Maryland: ↳ morphe' @6:12 We used to time our 1-3x a year driving visits from the DC area to New England so that we could hear Greasy Kid Stuff on the way up. Maybe that's where we heard "Fluffy" ... if it's a staple like you say we surely heard it more than once.
	♥ 6:17am Strandlund: Good Morning Animals!!
	♥ 6:19am Amanda: Good morning everyone! Welcome to the bestiary
	6:19am yippie: its the best bestiary
	6:19am Rob from Maryland: ↳ dale @6:12 We listened to Greasy Kid Stuff while driving up to New England in the 90s and 00s 1-3x a year. So yes, that's surely how we know "Fluffy", because neither one of us listened to Dr. Demento very much at all.
	♥ 6:20am dale: ↳ Rob from Maryland @6:19 if it's obie jackson from spivey's corner north carolina's birthday then you heard the program.
	6:23am Listener Bop Monroe: omg, i'm so glad i walkied Alanna during Fluffy... love/hate relationship with that song ...and When I was Walking On The Moon (i saw a little kitty cat!)

	6:26am Listener Bop Monroe: GKS left around the same time as JM in the AM. I miss 'Modi Ani' at 6AM but W&B rules!
	♥ 6:30am Amanda: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @6:26 That's not true, JM in the AM was replaced by Wake and Bake about 5 years ago. Greasy Kid Stuff has been off the WFMU airwaves for a little under 20 years.
	6:32am Listener Bop Monroe: that long?! GKS left a bigger impression than i remember. whoa... where have I been?!? thnx DJA!
	♥ 6:32am dale: bob brainen had the slot after greasy kid stuff.
	♥ 6:32am Amanda: But it's accurate that 6am freeform shows started in the 2000's - JM was over the air only and there were two separate broadcasts between 6-9am on weekdays.
	6:33am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ dale @6:32 that's right. sorry i fergot you BB!
	♥ 6:46am radioronan: Saturdays are the best..I love bad animals and I have a greasy kids stuff tattoo. Content to have the quirky in the wee or work hours..happy meowmorial weekend!
	6:49am morphe': Fluffy was 1979 - 1980 ...

	6:52am Listener Bop Monroe: adopt, never buy!!! ok, at an adoption event in Bay Ridge, a soda truck pulled up, rolled up the doors and revealed 12 glass front cages of doggies to adopt. all the pups were jumpy and wild eyed. Alanna was at face level and we locked eyes. HER! i said. a beagle something mix, 3 yrs old from Oklahoma, we just celebrated her 12th bday this week. again, ADOPT NEVER BUY!!

	♥ 6:54am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	♥ 6:54am dale: wow - first electric piano twinkling i started singing the song. 70s soft rock is burned into my brain pan.
	♥ 6:54am Yetz: Listening in bed with my cat Sunny who curled up and slept right next to me all night... she was found as a tiny shivering kitten, hiding under the hood of a car, on Halloween night (she's orange!) about 10 years ago and she became such a big part of our life
	♥ 6:56am dday: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Love" by "Captain & Tennille" Willis Allen Ramsey song. Originally recorded by the duo "America" There was a musician in the Houston,TX aera back in the early 80's, a guy named Shake Russell who had ties to Ramsey & this song. shakerussell.com...
	♥ 6:57am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Love" by "Captain & Tennille" WP: "The song has synthesizer-generated sound effects that Daryl Dragon (also known as the Captain) created which are meant to evoke the imagined sounds of muskrats mating. When Captain & Tennille were asked by US President Gerald Ford and his wife to perform “The Way I Want to Touch You” at the White House Bicentennial in 1976, they also performed “Muskrat Love”. Queen Elizabeth famously nodded off during the performance of this song."
	♥ 6:57am Strandlund: ↳ Aaron Working In Newark @6:54 Good Morning Aaron...I hope you're getting a "The Meat of the Tomato" t-shirt!!
	♥ 6:58am dale: woodchuck who lived under our porch and came out to get birdseed was hit in the road couple days ago. i heard the flump flump.....it was sad. she just wanted some taller grass on the other side of the road.

	7:02am Listener Bop Monroe: heavens to murgetroyd!!
	♥ 7:03am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:59 I actually heard about that & the Muskrat Love story by Yetz , on an episode of Chris Kimble's Milk Street Radio a week or so ago. They were talking to an author who wrote a book about food & cooking for for the Presidents through the years. I'll try to locate show link
	♥ 7:04am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:59 Here ya go: podcasts.apple.com...

	♥ 7:08am dale: my neighbors trapped back in the 60s and 70s. i remember seeing pelts stretched out. they considered themselves to be 'sportsmen' but it seemed like killers to me even then. think they got two or three dollars per pelt.
	♥ 7:09am dday: Here's a rather odd song about a rabbit named Flappie: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:09am Strandlund: ↳ dday @7:06 I didn't know he had a radio show. I like his tv program. We get that here on the Create channel.
	♥ 7:11am dday: ↳ Strandlund @7:09 Yes. It's different than the tv show how to. Interviews & listener Q&A. Co-hosts with Sara Moulton & others
	♥ 7:12am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Ramble" by "McGuire Sisters" I'm impressed you found so many Muskrat songs!
	♥ 7:12am Strandlund: ↳ dday @7:11 I'll have to check it out, thanks!
	7:12am Listener Bop Monroe: and it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for?!
	♥ 7:13am dale: ↳ dday @7:06 alan chartok is finally retiring from the station.
	♥ 7:14am dday: ↳ dale @7:13 Yes I heard that. Very impressive guy. 93 or 94...I guess it's time to take it easy
	♥ 7:15am dday: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Candlelight" by "Willis Alan Ramsey" The original
	♥ 7:15am dale: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Candlelight" by "Willis Alan Ramsey" oooh - do we get america's version too?
	7:16am 935: That was an interesting transition
	♥ 7:17am dday: ↳ dale @7:15 I saw an interview with one of the America guys (Peek or Beckley I can't recall) where they said that after shows some people would thank them for NOT playing this song while others would give them crap for not playing it. 1973 or so..it was a single
	♥ 7:18am dale: i actually don't think muskrats eat bacon or cheese. if so you'd see them ordering the breakfast sammich at macdonalds.
	7:21am Listener Bop Monroe: they prefer the croissan'wich at burger king
	7:24am melinda: Hi friends
	♥ 7:25am Jim the Poet: Happy Meowmorial Day Weekend
	7:25am Marc15: It is Heresy to disrespect Toni Tennille
	7:26am P-90: Dolly Parton is basically God
	♥ 7:28am dday: So since our big boy, Squeezle McMuffin showed up on our front porch...5 years ago this weekend, he's had this problem with his eyes. A kind of bloody goop that leaches from the corners of his eyes, near his nose. It gets all crusty and I figured it's probably uncomfortable for him as he can't clean it all off himself, so I do it once a week or so with a warm wet paper towel, which he hates. Two different vets said it's a condition with his tear ducts & would require micro surgery $$$$. Since we wouldn't put him under the knife for something not life threatening, we let it ride. Last week I bought some terramycin for cats and dogs. $25.00 for a little tube 1/8 oz. Three applications...no more problem.
	7:28am Listener Bop Monroe: slots is winning by attrition if at all...
	♥ 7:28am dday: ↳ Marc15 @7:25 She sang background on Pink Floyd's The Wall
	♥ 7:29am dale: love nana too. those glasses!
	♥ 7:29am dale: ....she could have gotten contacts but that would take away from the whole distinctive package.
	♥ 7:30am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:28 Yeah, if you ever get to that point😅
	7:30am Listener Bop Monroe: this is the lady with the big red glasses, right?
	♥ 7:30am dday: David Bowie as Cosmic Muskrat
	♥ 7:31am Amanda: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:30 Yes, she does have very eye-catching glasses! It's kind of her "thing."
	7:32am melinda: What a lovely version that was
	7:32am Listener Bop Monroe: great voice for dolly songs.
	♥ 7:34am dday: I thought we were heading into butterfly songs..There are many..Two..Heart's Dog & Butterfly & Bob Carlisle's Butterfly Kisses come to mind..
	♥ 7:36am dale: ↳ dday @7:34 arcesia's 'butterfly mind'
	♥ 7:37am dday: ↳ dale @7:36 there's a couple by Smashing Pumpkins if I recall
	7:37am Andrea C from the app: Hello Amanda, Jim the Poet, and everyone :)

	♥ 7:44am dday: ↳ Amanda @7:43 My first "real" rock LP purchase (before that it was Jackson 5 & Monkees LP's) My second was Steppenwolf 7..a classic as well
	7:45am Listener Bop Monroe: 'wait a minute, this is rock and/or roll...!'
	♥ 7:49am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Dogs" by "Student Body" this song sounds messed-up
	7:50am Listener Bop Monroe: any more adoption stories folks?
	♥ 7:50am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @7:49 the recording i mean ... like they used a super-cheap mic
	♥ 7:53am Yetz: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:50 Ok, my other cat Albert was adopted from the city pound as a 5-year old adult, we were looking at kittens but the shelter staff encouraged us toward Albert (they called him Apple Pie) and said "He really needs to get out of here" and I'm SO GLAD we took him home with us, he sits on me every day while I work at my desk and is such a sweetheart.
	7:54am Listener Bop Monroe: sqweek the cat showed up on my gf's doorstep a cold wet kitten. a red striped and handsome boy, he just turned 19 (!!!) last month. yetz cool for you both!
	7:55am Listener Bop Monroe: ooops, 18 but still...!
	♥ 7:56am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @7:53 Albert showing off his computer skills (he's good like that) imgur.com...
	7:57am Erik/VermonT: Y’all know of the Jim Copp & Ed Brown catalog ? (9 recordings / albums from 1950s-60s). “Entertainment for Small Fry & Sophisticated Adults” My family grew up with these records, and it shaped our lives. Lots of references to various animals … Unusual tales, to say the least.
	7:58am Erik/VermonT: Oh yea, would be ideal for Double Dip Recess as well !
	😼 ♥ 8:00am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Amanda @7:43 <lighters in the air> <organist faints>
	8:01am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ Yetz @7:56 what a handsome boy-o!
	♥ 8:03am Yetz: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:01 a heat-seeking love bomb.... he loves laps, fireplaces, warm computers, sunbeams, and anyplace he can warm himself up
	♥ 8:04am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @7:56 Oh Albert is adorable. Did I manage to tell 'Aaron's' story? She and her sister were ferals that were rescued as kittens with their 'mom'. 'Aaron' was super spicy and protective of her sister, and could not be handled. When the three were examined at the vet, 'mom' turned out to be a tomcat looking after two female kittens who were orphans, and Aaron became Erin 'Little Miss Hiss'. 2 and a bit years later she's an affectionate and loving kitteh who told us it was bedtime last night and herded us to bed.
	♥ 8:05am Yetz: ↳ Erik/VermonT @7:57 Never heard of them but you inspired me to look them up. "Copp and Brown stopped making new records in 1971 when Copp's father died and his sister decided to sell the family house. Copp moved in with Ed Brown, whose home was carpeted and deemed unfit for recording.". Amazing how a change in circumstances can affect creativity ... all the factors have to line up just right, and something stupid like some carpets on the floor can mess it all up.
	8:05am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	♥ 8:06am TDK60: RIP Bill Lee (1928 – 2023) bassist for many folk, jazz, etc. artists. Father of Spike.
	♥ 8:06am Yetz: awww I didn't know you would be reading our stories on the air! Thanks guys! That was sweet.

	8:41am Erik/VermonT: Jim Copp & Ed Brown recordings had been available via dwindling vinyl supplies directly from Mr Copp until a super fan Ted Leyhe assisted in preserving their legacy & stewardship circa 1993+ = an outstanding job and collection of restored audio. Start with the earliest recordings and continue-on down the line. James Copp the lll, prior to WW2, was part of the NYC cabaret & jazz club scene as a surrealist humorist. Yet, upon his return from the war (& his experiences) had changed his perspective on performing. Went into innovative home recordings.

	6:09am Rob from Maryland: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" I've heard this exact song. I just can't remember when and where (nor my age at the time)
	6:10am Rob from Maryland: ↳ Rob from Maryland @6:09 Maybe I was actually listening to Dr. Demento

	6:11am LiXiviated Life: Fluffy socks worn often not

	6:14am sonny jim: oh my
	6:17am Rob from Maryland: ↳ morphe' @6:12 We used to time our 1-3x a year driving visits from the DC area to New England so that we could hear Greasy Kid Stuff on the way up. Maybe that's where we heard "Fluffy" ... if it's a staple like you say we surely heard it more than once.
	♥ 6:17am Strandlund: Good Morning Animals!!
	♥ 6:19am Amanda: Good morning everyone! Welcome to the bestiary
	6:19am yippie: its the best bestiary
	6:19am Rob from Maryland: ↳ dale @6:12 We listened to Greasy Kid Stuff while driving up to New England in the 90s and 00s 1-3x a year. So yes, that's surely how we know "Fluffy", because neither one of us listened to Dr. Demento very much at all.

	♥ 6:30am Amanda: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @6:26 That's not true, JM in the AM was replaced by Wake and Bake about 5 years ago. Greasy Kid Stuff has been off the WFMU airwaves for a little under 20 years.
	6:32am Listener Bop Monroe: that long?! GKS left a bigger impression than i remember. whoa... where have I been?!? thnx DJA!
	♥ 6:32am dale: bob brainen had the slot after greasy kid stuff.
	♥ 6:32am Amanda: But it's accurate that 6am freeform shows started in the 2000's - JM was over the air only and there were two separate broadcasts between 6-9am on weekdays.
	6:33am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ dale @6:32 that's right. sorry i fergot you BB!
	♥ 6:46am radioronan: Saturdays are the best..I love bad animals and I have a greasy kids stuff tattoo. Content to have the quirky in the wee or work hours..happy meowmorial weekend!

	6:52am Listener Bop Monroe: adopt, never buy!!! ok, at an adoption event in Bay Ridge, a soda truck pulled up, rolled up the doors and revealed 12 glass front cages of doggies to adopt. all the pups were jumpy and wild eyed. Alanna was at face level and we locked eyes. HER! i said. a beagle something mix, 3 yrs old from Oklahoma, we just celebrated her 12th bday this week. again, ADOPT NEVER BUY!!

	♥ 6:54am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	♥ 6:54am dale: wow - first electric piano twinkling i started singing the song. 70s soft rock is burned into my brain pan.
	♥ 6:54am Yetz: Listening in bed with my cat Sunny who curled up and slept right next to me all night... she was found as a tiny shivering kitten, hiding under the hood of a car, on Halloween night (she's orange!) about 10 years ago and she became such a big part of our life
	♥ 6:56am dday: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Love" by "Captain & Tennille" Willis Allen Ramsey song. Originally recorded by the duo "America" There was a musician in the Houston,TX aera back in the early 80's, a guy named Shake Russell who had ties to Ramsey & this song. shakerussell.com...
	♥ 6:57am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Love" by "Captain & Tennille" WP: "The song has synthesizer-generated sound effects that Daryl Dragon (also known as the Captain) created which are meant to evoke the imagined sounds of muskrats mating. When Captain & Tennille were asked by US President Gerald Ford and his wife to perform “The Way I Want to Touch You” at the White House Bicentennial in 1976, they also performed “Muskrat Love”. Queen Elizabeth famously nodded off during the performance of this song."

	7:02am Listener Bop Monroe: heavens to murgetroyd!!
	♥ 7:03am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:59 I actually heard about that & the Muskrat Love story by Yetz , on an episode of Chris Kimble's Milk Street Radio a week or so ago. They were talking to an author who wrote a book about food & cooking for for the Presidents through the years. I'll try to locate show link

	♥ 7:08am dale: my neighbors trapped back in the 60s and 70s. i remember seeing pelts stretched out. they considered themselves to be 'sportsmen' but it seemed like killers to me even then. think they got two or three dollars per pelt.
	♥ 7:09am dday: Here's a rather odd song about a rabbit named Flappie: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:09am Strandlund: ↳ dday @7:06 I didn't know he had a radio show. I like his tv program. We get that here on the Create channel.
	♥ 7:11am dday: ↳ Strandlund @7:09 Yes. It's different than the tv show how to. Interviews & listener Q&A. Co-hosts with Sara Moulton & others
	♥ 7:12am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Ramble" by "McGuire Sisters" I'm impressed you found so many Muskrat songs!
	♥ 7:12am Strandlund: ↳ dday @7:11 I'll have to check it out, thanks!
	7:12am Listener Bop Monroe: and it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for?!
	♥ 7:13am dale: ↳ dday @7:06 alan chartok is finally retiring from the station.
	♥ 7:14am dday: ↳ dale @7:13 Yes I heard that. Very impressive guy. 93 or 94...I guess it's time to take it easy
	♥ 7:15am dday: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Candlelight" by "Willis Alan Ramsey" The original
	♥ 7:15am dale: ↳ Song: "Muskrat Candlelight" by "Willis Alan Ramsey" oooh - do we get america's version too?
	7:16am 935: That was an interesting transition
	♥ 7:17am dday: ↳ dale @7:15 I saw an interview with one of the America guys (Peek or Beckley I can't recall) where they said that after shows some people would thank them for NOT playing this song while others would give them crap for not playing it. 1973 or so..it was a single
	♥ 7:18am dale: i actually don't think muskrats eat bacon or cheese. if so you'd see them ordering the breakfast sammich at macdonalds.
	7:21am Listener Bop Monroe: they prefer the croissan'wich at burger king
	7:24am melinda: Hi friends
	♥ 7:25am Jim the Poet: Happy Meowmorial Day Weekend
	7:25am Marc15: It is Heresy to disrespect Toni Tennille
	7:26am P-90: Dolly Parton is basically God
	♥ 7:28am dday: So since our big boy, Squeezle McMuffin showed up on our front porch...5 years ago this weekend, he's had this problem with his eyes. A kind of bloody goop that leaches from the corners of his eyes, near his nose. It gets all crusty and I figured it's probably uncomfortable for him as he can't clean it all off himself, so I do it once a week or so with a warm wet paper towel, which he hates. Two different vets said it's a condition with his tear ducts & would require micro surgery $$$$. Since we wouldn't put him under the knife for something not life threatening, we let it ride. Last week I bought some terramycin for cats and dogs. $25.00 for a little tube 1/8 oz. Three applications...no more problem.
	7:28am Listener Bop Monroe: slots is winning by attrition if at all...
	♥ 7:28am dday: ↳ Marc15 @7:25 She sang background on Pink Floyd's The Wall
	♥ 7:29am dale: love nana too. those glasses!
	♥ 7:29am dale: ....she could have gotten contacts but that would take away from the whole distinctive package.
	♥ 7:30am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:28 Yeah, if you ever get to that point😅
	7:30am Listener Bop Monroe: this is the lady with the big red glasses, right?
	♥ 7:30am dday: David Bowie as Cosmic Muskrat
	♥ 7:31am Amanda: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:30 Yes, she does have very eye-catching glasses! It's kind of her "thing."
	7:32am melinda: What a lovely version that was
	7:32am Listener Bop Monroe: great voice for dolly songs.
	♥ 7:34am dday: I thought we were heading into butterfly songs..There are many..Two..Heart's Dog & Butterfly & Bob Carlisle's Butterfly Kisses come to mind..
	♥ 7:36am dale: ↳ dday @7:34 arcesia's 'butterfly mind'
	♥ 7:37am dday: ↳ dale @7:36 there's a couple by Smashing Pumpkins if I recall
	7:37am Andrea C from the app: Hello Amanda, Jim the Poet, and everyone :)
	♥ 7:38am Amanda: ↳ Andrea C from the app @7:37 Hello Andrea C and everyone! Both human and animal!

	♥ 7:44am dday: ↳ Amanda @7:43 My first "real" rock LP purchase (before that it was Jackson 5 & Monkees LP's) My second was Steppenwolf 7..a classic as well
	7:45am Listener Bop Monroe: 'wait a minute, this is rock and/or roll...!'
	♥ 7:49am Yetz: ↳ Song: "Dogs" by "Student Body" this song sounds messed-up
	7:50am Listener Bop Monroe: any more adoption stories folks?
	♥ 7:50am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @7:49 the recording i mean ... like they used a super-cheap mic
	♥ 7:53am Yetz: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @7:50 Ok, my other cat Albert was adopted from the city pound as a 5-year old adult, we were looking at kittens but the shelter staff encouraged us toward Albert (they called him Apple Pie) and said "He really needs to get out of here" and I'm SO GLAD we took him home with us, he sits on me every day while I work at my desk and is such a sweetheart.
	7:54am Listener Bop Monroe: sqweek the cat showed up on my gf's doorstep a cold wet kitten. a red striped and handsome boy, he just turned 19 (!!!) last month. yetz cool for you both!
	7:55am Listener Bop Monroe: ooops, 18 but still...!
	♥ 7:56am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @7:53 Albert showing off his computer skills (he's good like that) imgur.com...
	7:57am Erik/VermonT: Y’all know of the Jim Copp & Ed Brown catalog ? (9 recordings / albums from 1950s-60s). “Entertainment for Small Fry & Sophisticated Adults” My family grew up with these records, and it shaped our lives. Lots of references to various animals … Unusual tales, to say the least.
	7:58am Erik/VermonT: Oh yea, would be ideal for Double Dip Recess as well !
	😼 ♥ 8:00am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Amanda @7:43 <lighters in the air> <organist faints>
	8:01am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ Yetz @7:56 what a handsome boy-o!
	♥ 8:03am Yetz: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:01 a heat-seeking love bomb.... he loves laps, fireplaces, warm computers, sunbeams, and anyplace he can warm himself up
	♥ 8:04am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @7:56 Oh Albert is adorable. Did I manage to tell 'Aaron's' story? She and her sister were ferals that were rescued as kittens with their 'mom'. 'Aaron' was super spicy and protective of her sister, and could not be handled. When the three were examined at the vet, 'mom' turned out to be a tomcat looking after two female kittens who were orphans, and Aaron became Erin 'Little Miss Hiss'. 2 and a bit years later she's an affectionate and loving kitteh who told us it was bedtime last night and herded us to bed.
	♥ 8:05am Yetz: ↳ Erik/VermonT @7:57 Never heard of them but you inspired me to look them up. "Copp and Brown stopped making new records in 1971 when Copp's father died and his sister decided to sell the family house. Copp moved in with Ed Brown, whose home was carpeted and deemed unfit for recording.". Amazing how a change in circumstances can affect creativity ... all the factors have to line up just right, and something stupid like some carpets on the floor can mess it all up.
	8:05am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	♥ 8:06am TDK60: RIP Bill Lee (1928 – 2023) bassist for many folk, jazz, etc. artists. Father of Spike.
	♥ 8:06am Yetz: awww I didn't know you would be reading our stories on the air! Thanks guys! That was sweet.
	♥ 8:08am dday: ↳ Song: "Cat Mat Combat" by "Sarah Donner" Ahh Sarah..The Pteradactyl Song lady...love her
	8:09am modern blaze: hi all
	♥ 8:10am Yetz: ↳ love2laf @8:04 they say you can't herd cats, but cats can herd people!
	8:10am modern blaze: i must admit we are in the midst of something see sweeping and swinging
	8:11am Listener Robert: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 It's good to see so many musicians dying in their 90s lately.
	8:12am modern blaze: aloud where’s dread there’s good song
	8:13am modern blaze: Pikabu
	♥ 8:13am dday: ↳ Song: "Cat Mat Combat" by "Sarah Donner" For the uninitiated. Sarah Donner..Hilarious animation from the crew at The Oatmeal.....not for the youngsters : www.youtube.com...

	♥ 8:15am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @8:10 That is the cold hard truth, herding us to feed them, pet them, build a fire in the woodstove, it's a herd-full life!
	8:16am modern blaze: that is for squats no touch
	♥ 8:18am Strandlund: Our kitties, Calder, Daisy and Abel all came to us from the ravine behind our house. Our other kitty, Lynn, came from a no-kill shelter. She was rescued from a hoarding environment. We love each and every one of them.

	8:41am Erik/VermonT: Jim Copp & Ed Brown recordings had been available via dwindling vinyl supplies directly from Mr Copp until a super fan Ted Leyhe assisted in preserving their legacy & stewardship circa 1993+ = an outstanding job and collection of restored audio. Start with the earliest recordings and continue-on down the line. James Copp the lll, prior to WW2, was part of the NYC cabaret & jazz club scene as a surrealist humorist. Yet, upon his return from the war (& his experiences) had changed his perspective on performing. Went into innovative home recordings.
