	1:18pm dave: Hey Rex and fellow fools!
	♥ 1:25pm JG: I had to turm Michael Shelley down, which I hate to do, because a kick ass episode of Big Valley was on. I'm back rocking now w Rex. Hello Fools
	1:25pm Jeech the Jooch: Was "Frankly, No." William Holden?
	1:26pm Creature Boy: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blues" by "Marvin Rainwater" Killer Rainwater. Is it link Wray or Roy Clark on Guitar?or neither?
	♥ 1:26pm JG: Never mind that Elisha Cook Jr. and Dennis Weaver are on Gunsmoke. I'm not a Gunsmoke guy
	♥ 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ JG @1:25 ...that's what Captions are for man...
	1:28pm Mailman Tom: ↳ JG @1:25 A friend recently let me borrow the first two seasons of The Big Valley. I watched only one episode and didn't like it because it seems like a western soap opera. Can you recommend any episodes? I'd like to give it another chance.
	1:35pm WM: I hope New York City Blues mentions Tom Pomposello (1949 - 1999) slide guitar/bassist/ harmonica player who recorded with Mississippi Fred McDowell. Tom accompanied McDowell on the album Live in New York (1972). He also produced the anthology album Blues from New York (1974) and recorded his own record Honest Tom Pompolello (1975). He started Oblivion Records with Fred Seibert, who went on to work for MTV and (I think) the Cartoon Network. I was lucky enough to hear Tom live many times when I was a teenager and I often met him at Kropotkin Records, the store he opened in Huntington, NY. There is a lot of information about him online.
	♥ 1:35pm JG: ↳ Mailman Tom @1:28 Watch the one I just saw. Night in a small town. James Whitmore(Them) who was usually cast as a tough as nails no nonsense cop, plays a town Marshall who is a moralistic, hypocritical bully. He gets his cumupance courtesy of Lee majors. Its real good
	1:36pm Mailman Tom: ↳ JG @1:35 Thanks, JG!
	♥ 1:40pm drr: ↳ Song: "Cindy Lou" by "Dick Penner" I took Professor Dick Penner's English Lit class when I was a student at the University of Tennessee. Good teacher. You would not suspect he had any records on the Sun label, but he didn't deny it either.
	♥ 1:41pm William Hellfire: Cool! We did a screening with Dick a few years ago! So fun. I figured Dick was at the record fair.
	♥ 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ drr @1:40 - wow way kewl.
	1:49pm WM: I should also mention that Tom Pomposello was the originator and host of the Blues program Something Inside of Me on WKCR (which is still part of the station's schedule).
	1:49pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: John Broven's SOUTH TO LOUISIANA is a must...
	1:49pm Erin Hellfire: Dick is awesome. We were his "handlers" at a screening of "LEMORA" several years ago. We grabbed lunch at a polish joint, had drinks at Beauty Bar, then walked to Cinema Village. "LEMORA" is one of my favorite films.
	♥ 1:56pm William Hellfire: ↳ Erin Hellfire @1:49 Always love finding a reason to wear my vampire cape. Great memories.
	1:57pm RevPhil: I saw BOB GADDY performed live at Tramp's in New York City in June 1994.
	1:59pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ William Hellfire @1:56 #capeson
	2:07pm ledzeppelinsucks: Standing in front of Klaus Flourides house at 927 Evelyn. The front door is open and Victrola/ragtime is blaring.
	2:08pm ledzeppelinsucks: I took a machete and burlap bag from the free pile at 931 Evelyn yard sale.
	2:08pm Cooh John: "Lime-a", Ohio btw.

	2:19pm Don Gorden: great drum track on this
	2:20pm Tony in Durham NC: Sounds like a cool book. You rarely hear the words "New York" paired with "blues"...?
	2:21pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Now you know why we dig records...
	♥ 2:21pm William Hellfire: ↳ Mailman Tom @2:17 Brilliant movie!
	♥ 2:22pm William Hellfire: Aliens are attacking the studio!
	2:23pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Mailman Tom @2:17 Nice! We have the DVD and Cheryl Rainbeaux Smith's personal copy of "LEMORA" on VHS!
	2:23pm Tony in Durham NC: ↳ William Hellfire @2:22 I thought it was my lousy cable connection

	♥ 2:27pm William Hellfire: ↳ Tony in Durham NC @2:25 Hahaha!
	2:30pm Hubig Pie: I've not heard of Lemora but see it's adapted from a Howard Phillips Lovecraft tale of the weird so it's gotta be good.
