	4:01pm Herbie: Hi y'all! I think volume is a little low
	4:02pm Herbie: maybe it was just me
	4:04pm Herbie: I saw on IG that Dr. D was at the Mummies show at Alex's Bar in LA on Sat - glad he's still getting out!
	4:04pm John R: ↳ Herbie @4:02 Hi Herbie, no problem here, volume wise.
	4:05pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:04 I saw that too. Sorry I missed him!
	4:06pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:00 <3
	4:07pm Herbie: ↳ spacebrother @4:05 I went to that live fundraiser/ show he did in Lakewood before Covid - it was so cool finally meeting him!
	4:08pm spacebrother: ↳ Herbie @4:07 I've never met him. I should go to his website and see if he's announcing upcoming appearances.
	4:09pm WR: Hello, listening as getting on the bus to go home.
	4:10pm spacebrother: ↳ WR @4:09 Dedication!
	4:10pm melinda: hi everyone
	4:11pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ali Baba's Camel" by "Cicely Courtneidge" better than Bonzo Doo-Dah!
	4:11pm spacebrother: ↳ melinda @4:10 Hey! Nice to have you with us today.
	4:11pm spacebrother: ↳ WR @4:11 I was delighted when i discovered this.
	4:13pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Rhubarb Tart Song" by "John Cleese and The 19... a pre-Python Cleese SINGING?! What the what?!
	4:14pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:13 I was amazed too!
	4:17pm David in California: ↳ Song: "The Rhubarb Tart Song" by "John Cleese and The 19... Hello, Greg. I hadn't heard this before, but recall that rhubarb tart was used as a running gag in Cleese's pre-Python BBC Radio show "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again".
	4:18pm John R: ↳ Song: "The Rhubarb Tart Song" by "John Cleese and The 19... When Mr. Cleese was on The Muppet Show, the running gag was who couldn’t sing , but they kept putting him in musical numbers. By the end of the show, he plugs his new album “ John Cleese a man and his Music”!😄
	4:20pm spacebrother: ↳ David in California @4:17 Interesting history! It probably carried over to the "At Last The 1948 Show."
	4:20pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:18 I forgot he was on the Muppet Show. Now I have to find it.
	4:23pm Mr Fab: Funny hearing Sun Ra trying to be normal. The results are closer to Zappa's doo-wop pastiches than anything that would have been actually a commercial hit.
	4:23pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Stuff Like That There" by "Sun Ra" "Stuff Like That There" was recorded in 1949!
	4:24pm spacebrother: ↳ spacebrother @4:23 I think the rest were recorded in the mid-1950s.
	4:28pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Stuff Like That There" by "Sun Ra" The vocalist was Sun Ra.
	4:30pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:23 Yeah! I think he might have been working out his mythology at the time.
	4:31pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of Walter Wart [Brrriggett]" by "Thorndike... Sounds a little like Jim Henson.
	4:32pm spacebrother: ↳ Song: "Frog Nappin'" by "Easy Deal Wilson" "Easy Deal Wilson" is one of the best names ever.
	4:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ spacebrother @4:31 I thought it could have been early Muppets, too.
	4:36pm John R: ↳ spacebrother @4:31 Kermit and Ralf the fog were regularly on The Jimmy Dean Show ,which ended in 1966( so maybe influenced from that?)
	4:37pm spacebrother: ↳ John R @4:36 Good point!
	4:39pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:35 The Thorndike Pickledish Choir was the alias name for Robert Oh Smith (27 November 1942 - 30 May 2010) who was an American radio DJ, who later in life did voice overs for animation films. He released several singles in the late 60's under the Thorndike name, some spelt as Thorndyke and others with titles such as the Thorndike Pickledish Pacifist Choir. None of Thorndike's records were commercial hits, but they did get played on certain American radio stations.
	4:40pm John R: ↳ spacebrother @4:39 👍😊
	4:44pm Otis: Hi Greg, been tuned since the top. Workin' away.
	4:46pm John R: ↳ Song: "I'm A Believer" by "Floyd Cramer" Really like this rendition.

	4:46pm spacebrother: ↳ Otis @4:44 Hey Otis! Glad to see you in the chat with your ears on!
	4:47pm Otis: ↳ spacebrother @4:46 Ears on the show, hands and fingers over there payin' the bills.

	4:48pm Otis: ↳ spacebrother @4:46 We had Tonki 2 weeks back with friends that were over and thought of our meal last year, good times!
	4:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ melinda @4:46 Yeah, that's nuts.
	4:49pm spacebrother: ↳ Otis @4:48 That place was perfect. I still remember the spicy Chinese lobster puutine.
	4:50pm Otis: ↳ melinda @4:46 I'll second this and hi Melinda! I need to search out this album now Greg, nice picks.
	4:51pm spacebrother: ↳ Otis @4:50 Thanks!
