	11:12am clarke: mawnin' suh!
	11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️ ...black, not by choice, but there it is...

	11:14am Cheryl The Nerd: @Michael, didja see Greg Townson just dropped a new EP? Currently available on Bandcamp. Physical copies available on his website.
	11:14am Michael Shelley: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:09 I believe Paycheck briefly played bass for Jones... and did copy his vocal style for a while
	11:14am tonyb: Being frugal, I bought a $19.99 coffee maker. Junk, water never properly heated. The OXO I have now is fab but costly.
	11:15am Squints: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:14 In my head I always identify that soft yelp with Buck Owens.
	11:15am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:14 yes, johnny was in thumper's live band, for a tour or two. on no records.

	11:18am clarke: kind and lovable
	11:19am tonyb: $160.! Not like me, but hell, live it up. Stainless steel carafe.
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I nuke the water in the Press. Very déclassé no doubt...
	11:21am Christina Ginger: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:19 French press, tea kettle, stove. Works like a charm.
	11:21am clarke: speaking of Blondie - there is a great interview with Frank Infante in the april issue of Guitar World.
	11:21am scott: Sum is some how more than parts combined.
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: Morning all!

	11:22am clarke: the wichita lineman!!
	11:22am listener phat in Lincoln: Got my pastries and need some coffee.
	11:23am scott: I hear you singing in the wire...
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "My First Heart Break" by "2 Of Clubs" Pretty groovy.
	11:23am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:23 If it's not recorded live, I'd be shocked.
	11:24am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi Michael
	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @11:24 Hi Danny!
	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 I need pastries!
	11:25am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Bad Reputation" by "dB's, The" That was interesting. There was a band I used to see at Toad's in the late 70's that had a song called "Back To School" that shared the same rising melody line in the verse. Dang, that was a long time ago!
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:25 I'd bring you some, but it's just a bit far.
	11:27am scott: ...searchin' in the sun for another overload, that is exactly what Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) do. Carrington Events ouch!
	11:29am clarke: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:25 Woods!
	11:29am scott: AR3664, please go easy on us.
	11:29am Michael Shelley: ↳ Christina Ginger @11:10 lukewarm coffee please - a phrase said by nobody ever !
	11:30am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Song: "Peace Love And Understanding" by "Deke Dickerson" YEAH, baby!

	11:30am Michael Shelley: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @11:14 He sent me a copy - havent got it yet!
	11:30am clarke: i don't know you from adam...
	11:31am PNX: Looking forward to seeing Deke at the Honesdale Roots and Rhythm Festival next weekend!
	11:31am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ clarke @11:29 Clarke!!
	11:31am clarke: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:31 trust thou art fightin' da good fight!
	11:32am Squints: ↳ Song: "Peace Love And Understanding" by "Deke Dickerson" Now THAT drum echo is not even remotely 1980s. Announces its presence with ahTHORity, theah.
	11:32am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ clarke @11:31 Oh, every day...mixed in with just the right amount of slack.
	11:32am Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:30 Purchased mine yesterday--didn't want to risk waiting until Tarrytown and find out he was sold out.
	11:33am scott: Good, could have just used a click track machine.
	11:33am clarke: A to B.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: So she was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar ...?
	11:35am scott: Flirting is not grooming, otherwise, the species is in trouble.
	11:35am clarke: ...when you met her
	11:36am clarke: and your zipper has no morals!
	11:36am scott: Hohner pianette
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Let Me Get Close to You" by "Skeeter Davis" This needs to be heard in a convertible with the wind blowing back what's left of your hair.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:36 ...which I suppose kind of makes more grammatical sense than morals having no zipper...
	11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:36 Let it go at that
	11:38am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 let it all go
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Song: "Everlovin'" by "Davis Sisters, The" oh my, yesss!!

	11:43am Mister Dobalina: Had to clicky star this one.
	11:43am clarke: and it clicks in.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: I wonder if I could get a little more of that bass with those 88s...
	11:44am scott: Mike, do you prefer drumming with brush, stick or club?
	11:45am clarke: he prefers a drummer!
	11:45am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart (session)" by... ... vibes session!
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ scott @11:44 I see his confusion now. I thought you were referring to hunting.
	11:45am Dano59: ↳ scott @11:43 not all rec rooms have dirt floors
	11:45am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:41 I'm going there for work. I actually quite a few friends there.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:45 hunting with spoons - more sporting, ay??

	11:47am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:46 i'm not even sure 1st avenue is nothing more than a dance club, these days??
	11:48am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dano59 @11:46 Yeah, 1st Ave is not having much for shows this week (of course).
	11:48am clarke: they have dance night - like most other venues.
	11:49am Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:18 that's steep but OXO boasts solid design. like, the best dustpan in the universe.

	11:51am scott: The Donays, thanks Mike!
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by "Big Jim Sullivan" When I hear the name Big Jim Sullivan this isn't the kind of music that would first come to mind.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:51 tom jones live band bass player
	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:49 I agree. Their vegetable peeler can't be beat -- cheap, durable, and no descaling required.
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:52 I didn't know! There's a rabbit hole I'll have to head down.
	11:53am scott: Wonder where Big Jim's electric sitar is now?

	11:59am Dano59: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know What You Got Till You Loose It" by... so this is a new reissue? Omnivore? I had to chase down the original about 14 yrs ago.

	12:06pm Peter Keepnews: Hello, Terry!

	12:13pm gB: Hey Mike, thought I heard you mention earlier that Deke’s tour dates include Asbury Park. But I think that might actually be Asbury, in Hunterdon County. Unless he just added new dates. Don’t see Asbury Park on his website.
	12:15pm Dennis: Rhode Island in the house!!!!! Cranston, Rhode Island
	12:16pm Michael Shelley: ↳ gB @12:13 dekedickerson.com...

	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Down on Broadway" by "Richard Marks" he seemed to lose a lot of soul in the 80's
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Down on Broadway" by "Richard Marks" Long way away from "Don't Mean Nothing."
	12:31pm Erik/VT: Priceless ! Interviews stellar as always. - perhaps cause NRBQ started out the gate as an ‘oldies’ band 😉
	12:31pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:30 Lol
	12:31pm clarke: right?
	12:32pm scott: Drifters told me about Broadway, Glen about the snow and rain.

	12:34pm wenzo: Moka pots… if you want half a cup of reeeallly strong coffee…

	11:14am tonyb: Being frugal, I bought a $19.99 coffee maker. Junk, water never properly heated. The OXO I have now is fab but costly.

	11:25am Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:22 I need pastries!
	11:25am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Bad Reputation" by "dB's, The" That was interesting. There was a band I used to see at Toad's in the late 70's that had a song called "Back To School" that shared the same rising melody line in the verse. Dang, that was a long time ago!
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:25 I'd bring you some, but it's just a bit far.
	11:27am scott: ...searchin' in the sun for another overload, that is exactly what Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) do. Carrington Events ouch!

	11:36am scott: Hohner pianette
	11:37am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Let Me Get Close to You" by "Skeeter Davis" This needs to be heard in a convertible with the wind blowing back what's left of your hair.
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:36 ...which I suppose kind of makes more grammatical sense than morals having no zipper...
	11:37am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:36 Let it go at that
	11:38am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:37 let it all go

	11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:49 I agree. Their vegetable peeler can't be beat -- cheap, durable, and no descaling required.
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:52 I didn't know! There's a rabbit hole I'll have to head down.
