	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Hello It's Me" by "Todd Rundgren" ...somewhere in the middle got used the Nazz version. Which has an odd balance...

	12:11pm StringOFperils: Ah, here you all are. I was dislocated into tomorrow's playlist...
	12:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Hello It's Me" by "Todd Rundgren" This is one of those songs I remember being a regular radio staple growing up but in recent years, I really appreciate the grandness of it. The production - especially on headphones - is stunning.
	12:12pm Rich in Washington: Hi Uncle Michael! Howdy, Dinkyites!

	12:14pm johnk77: video director has gone back to camera 1
	12:15pm San Pedro Girl: I saw that. Unfortunately, I missed the show. I’ll have to revisit it in the archives.
	12:15pm Gerry from Miami: It's a day for superb, scintillating and successful singles on HINKY DINKY TIME! Keep 'em comin', UNCLE MICHAEL!
	12:15pm duke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:09 The Nazz version may be my favorite single of all time.
	12:15pm StringOFperils: "Throw money. Throw money. I'm changing the name of the album right now to Throw Money."
	🛒 12:15pm Bjorn Be: Hi Michael , hi all!
	12:15pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hiya UM and all
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Bob! john! Gerry! Bjorn! duke! Oleh!
	12:17pm Yvang: Hi Uncle Michael and hinkers and dinkers! How was your bike ride last sunday?
	12:17pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "The Happening" by "The Supremes" Groovy!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Yvang! Kat!
	12:18pm TDK60: Fuzz bass comin' up!
	12:18pm dan: https://youtu.be/19z9JSaTm8c?feature=shared Leon Russell on The Midnight Special. First time a performer took on the full hour.
	12:18pm StringOFperils: Better than its move namesake.
	12:18pm StringOFperils: movie*** jeez
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: TDK!
	12:19pm adamdoesit: Hi UM and rootypoots! Is this the happening?!?
	12:19pm Marie in Chicago: Sadly, I cannot listen to the show. It is too engaging for me to listen to while I do a real edit of something. I'll have to listen in the archive. Fare thee well, all!
	12:19pm Aaron in Minneapolis: UNCLE MICHAEL!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Happening" by "The Supremes" That's REAL vinyl, can't fake that!
	12:20pm dan: @StringofPerils Never heard of the film, had to look it up. Apparently it was Faye Dunaway’s debut. Looks dumb and forgettable
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: adam! Aaron!
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: fuzzy!
	12:21pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:20 I liked it, when I saw it, probably IN the 1960s. Typical TV filler back in the day.
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Love he turntables, but the strobe is a bit off, speed needs adjusting...
	12:22pm Gerry from Miami: No problem, UM. Nearly all 45s develop skips and such after so many playings. Especially on the equipment we had "back in the day!"
	12:23pm Pedro in Arlington: The NY Times tells me cassettes are what the kids are listening to.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:22 Just put a quarter on the tonearm, that'll fix it (after you nail the avacado seeds to the roof).
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Trouble" by "Frederick Knight" I think I know this from Ry Cooder, this is GREAT!
	🛒 12:23pm Erica from Cranford: Hi, Everyone! Happy Friday!
	🛒 12:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ StringOFperils @12:15 I love that!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @12:21 nah, that's just the discrepency between the strobe and the video frame rate
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Erica! Lizzie!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: I was on hold to the drug store when you started playing this talkover music that they use as on-hold music...confusing!
	12:31pm StringOFperils: Dedicated to the machine used to clean these funky vinyl biscuits
	🛒 12:33pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Nitty Gritty" by "Gladys Knight & The Pips" Conga player drumming his/her ass off! Hi Uncle Michael. Hi internet people.
	12:34pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Nitty Gritty" by "Gladys Knight & The Pips" Get down Uncle Michael and hinky-dinks!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Robert! egould! chresti!
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Soul Serenade" by "Willie Mitchell" Simple instrumental, hits just right (to my ears)!
	12:36pm dan: Herbie Flowers, what a great bass player.
	🛒 12:36pm egould: ↳ Song: "Soul Serenade" by "Willie Mitchell" Steve Cropper playing guitar on that one? Anybody?
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:36 Cropper at Hi?
	🛒 12:39pm egould: Memphis session. Why not?
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:39 No reason!
	12:42pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "Fox On The Run" by "Sweet" I consider this a guilty pleasure
	12:42pm StringOFperils: 'Teenie' Hodges
	12:42pm StringOFperils: ....probably
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 probable
	12:43pm dan: What is Banapple Gas?
	🛒 12:43pm Bjorn Be: David Essex and Sweet...;my teen years flash before my eyes. and yes indeed, guilty pleasures :)
	12:43pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Banapple Gas" by "Cat Stevens" I missed this Cat S. number back then.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:43 Cat's explaining it!
	12:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rock Your Baby" by "George McCrae" Yeah!
	12:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:37 Couldn't find guitar player in quick search...
	🛒 12:49pm egould: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 Thank you.
	12:53pm dan: Steve Marriott should’ve done his own cover of “I Know I’m Losing You”.
	🛒 12:54pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart with Faces" Ouch.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @12:49 PAULS!
	12:55pm dan: The next song needs to be Wet Willie’s “Keep On Smiling”
	12:58pm Santos L Halper: Wasn’t the guy on organ for rainy day dream away named Mike finnigan?
	1:00pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart with Faces" Oh, I didn't say anything about Rod/Faces as they were a fine rockin' outifit, as is known everywhere.
	1:02pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "Opus Number One" by "Tim Carleton & Darrick Deel" Ha, I know this song as hold music. Can't recall exactly who I was on hold with though.
	🛒 1:05pm egould: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon Part I" by "Television" Note to self: Listen to more Television this weekend.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Santos! Polyus!
	1:06pm StringOFperils: Just finished 'Everything Is Combustible' yesterday. Richard Lloyd's memoirs. What a life. Only in NYC.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:05 All your Television 45s?
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Santos L Halper @12:58 Yep.
	1:09pm Santos L Halper: Woot!
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" ...we're gonna need a bigger boat & a smaller turntable...
	1:10pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" I wonder if copyright clearance and all that was much more simple back in the day?
	🛒 1:10pm egould: Professional DJ'ing right there.
	1:10pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" OK I genuinely laughed at "Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend"
	1:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Polyus @1:10 Probably more like, "You're gonna do this, or my associates are going to break your arms."
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:10 😎
	1:12pm hopey: Incredible show, UM! Loving your selections.
	1:12pm Gerry from Miami: Does Tom Verlaine do all the lead guitar playing on this Television cut? Or does Ruchard Lloyd get a chance to solo as well?
	1:12pm chresti: ↳ Polyus @1:10 If it's longer than 3 bars?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: hopey! Thanks.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 lots of shared and twin leads on Television tracks.
	1:13pm bobobob plasticland: seems like this solo part is a lil different???
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: ↳ bobobob plasticland @1:13 bobobob! The single might be different. I need to investigate.
	1:15pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 They traded off, from one night to the next. The solos are mostly created by Tom, who improvised maybe more because of that. Richard Lloyd was no less astonishing though, AND he could replicate his own moves so closely that he multi-tracked his own guitar work almost flawlessly...you have to listen to where it goes out of phase....Television was by no means just Tom
	1:15pm unpopularfred: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 Verlaine has the big solo. Lloyd plays that lead bit before the chorus, and that solo break that was a the end of part I
	1:16pm Stanley: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon Part II" by "Television" This cut is great. I remember this was my first 12" single and, boy, was I amazed with the thing. Hi Uncle
	🛒 1:16pm egould: ↳ Polyus @1:10 From Wikipedia "There were some lawsuits filed against Buchanan and Goodman for the use of unlicensed materials. The couple had operated their business from a telephone booth at a pharmacy. While the couple got richer, the court cases ate up the profits."
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: fred! Stanley!
	1:18pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: I know the tie in Billy Ficca in the waitresses
	1:19pm bobobobob Plasticland 🥁: I was backstage with him at the Starship Club in Milwaukee.
	1:20pm wenzo: Howdee howdee
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: @String of Perils. Thanks for that technical info on the guitar parts between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. They were quite a pair!
	1:21pm bobobob plasticland: I think C W worked with clay Pidgeon's dad in Iowa
	1:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:21 Seems like they barely tolerated each other, but the band worked out. Briefly.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ bobobob plasticland @1:21 I'll be coming to that!
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: @unpopularfred. Thanks to you as well! Great to have some stone crazy Television fans on the chat!
	1:26pm Polyus: ↳ egould @1:16 Interesting. Maybe they never expected their novelty song to get popular enough for the lawyers to notice.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Polyus @1:26 Buchanon and Goodman started making break-in records way back in the '50s. Sure took 'em a long time to go broke!
	🛒 1:30pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey Unc! Who said you could eat...just spin the platters,. Go boy!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:30 Kevin! Sorry!
	🛒 1:32pm KevinfromBayRidge: Lovin the multicams!
	1:33pm Gerry from Miami: @Polyus. It's too bad about all these copyright laws and the greed displayed. There are many examples of TV series and motion pictures that had to replace the original music used on these projects when cable and/or network replays were broadcast. The same can be said for the videocassettes and DVDs that people either rented or purchased.
	1:38pm StringOFperils: There's some give and take in the histories of who owns what and/or whom. A lot of artists would never have any doors open for them without some frightening pirate fronting for them in the law-offices of the music industry. Tommy James said that Morris Levy probably owed him in excess of 50 million bucks, but he was okay with it, because without the thug there would never have been a Tommy James at all.
	🛒 1:39pm egould: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:33 Yeah. I just watched a movie called 'Two Weeks Notice' from 2002. There was a version of a song in the film (I can't recall the song) that was not the original artist. And I thought, "This version of this song sucks." Then I remembered that they probably had to replace the song due to copyright and streaming services.
	1:40pm Santos L Halper: It’s different fer sure. At least it has some edits
	1:44pm dan: One of the men in Tin Tin was Steve Kipner, who went on to become a well known songwriter. He wrote Livvie’s classic “Physical”, Chicago’s “Hard Habit To Break” and strangely, Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle”
	🛒 1:44pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Toast And Marmalade For Tea" by "Tin Tin" Apparently a favorite tune of both Snowy and Professor Calculus.
	1:46pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Sunshine" by "Jonathan Edwards" Recently found a nice copy of this LP, which, in my own shadow world, made me happy.
	🛒 1:47pm Bjorn Be: ↳ PAULS @1:44 Captain Haddock was not a fan :P
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: The flip "Emma" is great.
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: Could Tin Tin have sounded more like the BEE GEES intentionally? And they were also on the Brothers Gibb's original US label!
	1:48pm StringOFperils: ...my turntable's still off line tho. Just in case I edged toward making some kind of sense, for some reason...
	1:48pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Sunshine" by "Jonathan Edwards" have absolutely loved this song since I was a child
	🛒 1:49pm PAULS: ↳ Bjorn Be @1:47 Sea shanties only! heh
	🛒 1:49pm DjLorraine: 🤩 Great job as usual thank you Uncle Michael
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: DJL! Thanks!
	🛒 1:52pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Sweet Mary" by "Wadsworth Mansion" I owned this one as an 8 year-old
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: @unpopularfred. I also love "Sunshine" to death. A perfect record!
	1:54pm dan: Macaroons in Calgary. Interesting mix
	🛒 1:59pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Edison L... Freedy does a nice cover of this. Set sounds like my transistor radio from second grade.
	2:00pm dan: Someone needs to do a documentary on Tony Burrows, the voice behind Edison Lighthouse, Pipkins, White Plains, and First Class.
	2:00pm Roberto: I'm hearing a lot of tunes that have appeared as covers on Tom Scharpling's hits of the '70s series.
	🛒 2:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Sweet City Woman" by "Stampeders" Best Canadian rock trio? Stampeders? Triumph? Rush? Wrong! It's D.O.A!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: ↳ PAULS @1:59 Yeah, and I don't think he screwed with the chord changes like he does with Wichita Lineman.
	2:01pm Gerry from Miami: That period from '69 through '71(coinciding with my Army service years) was a superb time for radio that produced so many "earworm" singles. My source for most of these records was KINT in El Paso, Texas. Any listeners out there familiar with deejay SONNY MELENDREZ?
	2:01pm KWilde: Reliving childhood
	2:02pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Draggin' The Line" by "Tommy James" Here's yet another!
	2:02pm Gerry from Miami: Speaking of the guy that MORRIS LEVY ripped off!!
	🛒 2:03pm PAULS: Tommy wrote a memoir: Me, the Mob, and the Music, not bad!
	2:03pm dan: Supposedly “Dragging The Line” is where the term “Tree Hugger” was borne from
	🛒 2:04pm PAULS: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:00 Blasphemer! Freedy, how could you? heh
	2:05pm Sunny: The hold music is stone cold Vaporwave gold
	2:06pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely Hesh from The Sopranos.
	2:08pm dan: COVER CHAIN!!!!!!!!!!
	2:09pm unpopularfred: I'm excited
	🛒 2:09pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "It's All Right" by "The Impressions" I miss Curtis Mayfield.
	2:10pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. There already EXISTS a documentary about the great Mr. Burrows. It is titled "We Have to Talk About Tony Burrows."
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @2:00 Michael Shelley's?
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Sunny!
	2:12pm adamdoesit: It was a cover chain show from… 2020? that made me a Hinky Dinky Time listener. I was applying spray foam behind a wall at the time. Now whenever I think of cover chains, I think of spray foam… and vice versa.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Spray Foam Show!
	2:14pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:10 Oh shit yeah. I was thinking of Tom's Tribute to RAM.
	2:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Edison L... I once saw the Replacements cover this tune.
	🛒 2:15pm Bjorn Be: A wonderfully composed singles stroll down memory lane Uncle!
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:15 They were drunk. Were you drunk?
	2:17pm Gerry from Miami: This version of "Deep Purple" was a Top Ten hit here in South Florida on station WQAM-AM560 when I was in 11th grade. My mom loved it since it had been a hit many years earlier and fit into her idea of what "pop" music should be.
	2:17pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 Not drunk. It was the 80s. I doubt there many people in the audience not high on something.
	2:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan @2:03 Really? I thought it was a much older expression.
	2:19pm Roberto: Can I get some good vibes for my little kitty Trixie, who may be facing some serious health problems? (She's not the one pictured here, that's Maurice.)
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Love to Trixie...
	2:20pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:19 Thanks, hoping she pulls through.
	2:21pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Sending love and healing vibes to kitty Trixy. 💜
	🛒 2:22pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Only the best vibes to Trixie! Meow
	2:22pm San Pedro Girl: Oh yeah!!
	2:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Magdalena" by "Leo Sayer" First I've heard this version of Danny O'Keefe's song. I still don't get LS. It's just me.
	2:25pm dan: The Grass Roots are probably one of the most criminally underrated 60s bands
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Arb's up next! wfmu.org...
	2:26pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Roberto @2:20 Sending you a hug.
	2:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Adding kitty steroids and tuna juice to the centrifuge and uplinking the output to the low-orbit purr-band amplifier… now. Feel better, Trixie!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:25 two, two, two bands in one!
	2:27pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "I'd Wait A Million Years" by "The Grass Roots" this is one of several songs today that I knew and loved as a child in the early 70's from records and tapes my older siblings left laying around the house
	2:28pm wenzo: Nice
	🛒 2:28pm egould: Catt butt *
	2:28pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by "Johnny Cash" Great song.
	🛒 2:28pm PAULS: Good kitty!
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Lucas sends Trixie love.
	2:29pm wenzo: Did Willie Nelson do a version of this? I think that’s the one I like…
	2:29pm wenzo: RIP KK
	2:30pm StringOFperils: Listening to the people playing these charts behind him. This must be Nashville, right?
	🛒 2:30pm PAULS: ↳ wenzo @2:29 Willie did a set last night here in Austin for the 50th anniversary of Austin City Limits, was a little shaky at first but then warmed up nicely! 91
	2:33pm Gerry from Miami: Is it just me or did Richard Simmons and Leo Sayer look like brothers?
	2:35pm Roberto: I get him! (Leo Sayer)
	2:36pm adamdoesit: I get Leo Sayer, and raise Magdalena a clicky star. PAULS, the Fun 91!
	2:37pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. I just did a little research and it turns out there are several documentaries about TONY BURROWS. Go GOOGLE it out and see if you can locate any of them. There is plenty of written material about him and his unique place in pop music. Good hunting!
	2:38pm TDK60: I recall the Grass Roots started out with a cover of Dylan's Mr Jones (Thin Man). I haven't heard it since.
	2:38pm StringOFperils: I wonder if Tav Falco know about this.
	2:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" How slow can you go? (pretty slow tune to begin with)
	2:41pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" I imagine this has a few edits
	2:41pm StringOFperils: Time for an 18 minute DJ break! Not @45 rpm i guess
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: Born to Wander featured in this commercial: www.ispot.tv...
	2:43pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" This is a GREAT single!
	🛒 2:46pm PAULS: Clarence!
	🛒 2:48pm PAULS: Gotta drive. Thanks Uncle Michael for a great show! if I could clicky star the entire thing... great weekend, everyone.
	2:48pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "And When I Die" by "Laura Nyro" They should have called themselves Blood, Sweat, Tears and Nyro.
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: RIP, Isaac Hayes. Loved his role as "Chef" on "South Park!" "Mornin', children!" And nobody could slow down the tempo of a song like Mr. Hayes!
	2:50pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "And When I Die" by "Laura Nyro" I first heard this song through Peter, Paul & Mary's version. Great tune.
	2:50pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:48 Chocolate Salty Balls gets added to Shave 'em Dry and Banana in Your Bowl. Isaac Hayes was a good sport doin' that
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, great show (must be exhausting playing all those small discs, keeping up with all the other stuff of the show). Thanks UM, great weekend all!

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Hello It's Me" by "Todd Rundgren" This is one of those songs I remember being a regular radio staple growing up but in recent years, I really appreciate the grandness of it. The production - especially on headphones - is stunning.
	12:12pm Rich in Washington: Hi Uncle Michael! Howdy, Dinkyites!

	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Yvang! Kat!
	12:18pm TDK60: Fuzz bass comin' up!
	12:18pm dan: https://youtu.be/19z9JSaTm8c?feature=shared Leon Russell on The Midnight Special. First time a performer took on the full hour.
	12:18pm StringOFperils: Better than its move namesake.
	12:18pm StringOFperils: movie*** jeez
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: TDK!
	12:19pm adamdoesit: Hi UM and rootypoots! Is this the happening?!?
	12:19pm Marie in Chicago: Sadly, I cannot listen to the show. It is too engaging for me to listen to while I do a real edit of something. I'll have to listen in the archive. Fare thee well, all!
	12:19pm Aaron in Minneapolis: UNCLE MICHAEL!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Happening" by "The Supremes" That's REAL vinyl, can't fake that!
	12:20pm dan: @StringofPerils Never heard of the film, had to look it up. Apparently it was Faye Dunaway’s debut. Looks dumb and forgettable
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: adam! Aaron!
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: fuzzy!
	12:21pm StringOFperils: ↳ dan @12:20 I liked it, when I saw it, probably IN the 1960s. Typical TV filler back in the day.
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Love he turntables, but the strobe is a bit off, speed needs adjusting...
	12:22pm Gerry from Miami: No problem, UM. Nearly all 45s develop skips and such after so many playings. Especially on the equipment we had "back in the day!"
	12:23pm Pedro in Arlington: The NY Times tells me cassettes are what the kids are listening to.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:22 Just put a quarter on the tonearm, that'll fix it (after you nail the avacado seeds to the roof).
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Trouble" by "Frederick Knight" I think I know this from Ry Cooder, this is GREAT!
	🛒 12:23pm Erica from Cranford: Hi, Everyone! Happy Friday!
	🛒 12:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ StringOFperils @12:15 I love that!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @12:21 nah, that's just the discrepency between the strobe and the video frame rate
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Erica! Lizzie!
	12:30pm Listener Robert: I was on hold to the drug store when you started playing this talkover music that they use as on-hold music...confusing!
	12:31pm StringOFperils: Dedicated to the machine used to clean these funky vinyl biscuits
	🛒 12:33pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Nitty Gritty" by "Gladys Knight & The Pips" Conga player drumming his/her ass off! Hi Uncle Michael. Hi internet people.
	12:34pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Nitty Gritty" by "Gladys Knight & The Pips" Get down Uncle Michael and hinky-dinks!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Robert! egould! chresti!
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Soul Serenade" by "Willie Mitchell" Simple instrumental, hits just right (to my ears)!
	12:36pm dan: Herbie Flowers, what a great bass player.
	🛒 12:36pm egould: ↳ Song: "Soul Serenade" by "Willie Mitchell" Steve Cropper playing guitar on that one? Anybody?
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:36 Cropper at Hi?
	🛒 12:39pm egould: Memphis session. Why not?
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:39 No reason!
	12:42pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "Fox On The Run" by "Sweet" I consider this a guilty pleasure
	12:42pm StringOFperils: 'Teenie' Hodges
	12:42pm StringOFperils: ....probably
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 probable
	12:43pm dan: What is Banapple Gas?
	🛒 12:43pm Bjorn Be: David Essex and Sweet...;my teen years flash before my eyes. and yes indeed, guilty pleasures :)
	12:43pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Banapple Gas" by "Cat Stevens" I missed this Cat S. number back then.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:43 Cat's explaining it!
	12:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rock Your Baby" by "George McCrae" Yeah!
	12:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:37 Couldn't find guitar player in quick search...
	🛒 12:49pm egould: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 Thank you.
	12:53pm dan: Steve Marriott should’ve done his own cover of “I Know I’m Losing You”.
	🛒 12:54pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart with Faces" Ouch.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @12:49 PAULS!
	12:55pm dan: The next song needs to be Wet Willie’s “Keep On Smiling”
	12:58pm Santos L Halper: Wasn’t the guy on organ for rainy day dream away named Mike finnigan?
	1:00pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by "Rod Stewart with Faces" Oh, I didn't say anything about Rod/Faces as they were a fine rockin' outifit, as is known everywhere.
	1:02pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "Opus Number One" by "Tim Carleton & Darrick Deel" Ha, I know this song as hold music. Can't recall exactly who I was on hold with though.
	🛒 1:05pm egould: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon Part I" by "Television" Note to self: Listen to more Television this weekend.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Santos! Polyus!
	1:06pm StringOFperils: Just finished 'Everything Is Combustible' yesterday. Richard Lloyd's memoirs. What a life. Only in NYC.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:05 All your Television 45s?
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Santos L Halper @12:58 Yep.
	1:09pm Santos L Halper: Woot!
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" ...we're gonna need a bigger boat & a smaller turntable...
	1:10pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" I wonder if copyright clearance and all that was much more simple back in the day?
	🛒 1:10pm egould: Professional DJ'ing right there.
	1:10pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Mr. Jaws" by "Dickie Goodman" OK I genuinely laughed at "Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend"
	1:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ Polyus @1:10 Probably more like, "You're gonna do this, or my associates are going to break your arms."
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:10 😎
	1:12pm hopey: Incredible show, UM! Loving your selections.
	1:12pm Gerry from Miami: Does Tom Verlaine do all the lead guitar playing on this Television cut? Or does Ruchard Lloyd get a chance to solo as well?
	1:12pm chresti: ↳ Polyus @1:10 If it's longer than 3 bars?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: hopey! Thanks.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 lots of shared and twin leads on Television tracks.
	1:13pm bobobob plasticland: seems like this solo part is a lil different???
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: ↳ bobobob plasticland @1:13 bobobob! The single might be different. I need to investigate.
	1:15pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 They traded off, from one night to the next. The solos are mostly created by Tom, who improvised maybe more because of that. Richard Lloyd was no less astonishing though, AND he could replicate his own moves so closely that he multi-tracked his own guitar work almost flawlessly...you have to listen to where it goes out of phase....Television was by no means just Tom
	1:15pm unpopularfred: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:12 Verlaine has the big solo. Lloyd plays that lead bit before the chorus, and that solo break that was a the end of part I
	1:16pm Stanley: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon Part II" by "Television" This cut is great. I remember this was my first 12" single and, boy, was I amazed with the thing. Hi Uncle
	🛒 1:16pm egould: ↳ Polyus @1:10 From Wikipedia "There were some lawsuits filed against Buchanan and Goodman for the use of unlicensed materials. The couple had operated their business from a telephone booth at a pharmacy. While the couple got richer, the court cases ate up the profits."
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: fred! Stanley!
	1:18pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: I know the tie in Billy Ficca in the waitresses
	1:19pm bobobobob Plasticland 🥁: I was backstage with him at the Starship Club in Milwaukee.
	1:20pm wenzo: Howdee howdee
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: @String of Perils. Thanks for that technical info on the guitar parts between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. They were quite a pair!
	1:21pm bobobob plasticland: I think C W worked with clay Pidgeon's dad in Iowa
	1:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:21 Seems like they barely tolerated each other, but the band worked out. Briefly.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ bobobob plasticland @1:21 I'll be coming to that!
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: @unpopularfred. Thanks to you as well! Great to have some stone crazy Television fans on the chat!
	1:26pm Polyus: ↳ egould @1:16 Interesting. Maybe they never expected their novelty song to get popular enough for the lawyers to notice.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Polyus @1:26 Buchanon and Goodman started making break-in records way back in the '50s. Sure took 'em a long time to go broke!
	🛒 1:30pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey Unc! Who said you could eat...just spin the platters,. Go boy!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:30 Kevin! Sorry!
	🛒 1:32pm KevinfromBayRidge: Lovin the multicams!
	1:33pm Gerry from Miami: @Polyus. It's too bad about all these copyright laws and the greed displayed. There are many examples of TV series and motion pictures that had to replace the original music used on these projects when cable and/or network replays were broadcast. The same can be said for the videocassettes and DVDs that people either rented or purchased.
	1:38pm StringOFperils: There's some give and take in the histories of who owns what and/or whom. A lot of artists would never have any doors open for them without some frightening pirate fronting for them in the law-offices of the music industry. Tommy James said that Morris Levy probably owed him in excess of 50 million bucks, but he was okay with it, because without the thug there would never have been a Tommy James at all.
	🛒 1:39pm egould: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:33 Yeah. I just watched a movie called 'Two Weeks Notice' from 2002. There was a version of a song in the film (I can't recall the song) that was not the original artist. And I thought, "This version of this song sucks." Then I remembered that they probably had to replace the song due to copyright and streaming services.
	1:40pm Santos L Halper: It’s different fer sure. At least it has some edits
	1:44pm dan: One of the men in Tin Tin was Steve Kipner, who went on to become a well known songwriter. He wrote Livvie’s classic “Physical”, Chicago’s “Hard Habit To Break” and strangely, Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In A Bottle”
	🛒 1:44pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Toast And Marmalade For Tea" by "Tin Tin" Apparently a favorite tune of both Snowy and Professor Calculus.
	1:46pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Sunshine" by "Jonathan Edwards" Recently found a nice copy of this LP, which, in my own shadow world, made me happy.
	🛒 1:47pm Bjorn Be: ↳ PAULS @1:44 Captain Haddock was not a fan :P
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: The flip "Emma" is great.
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: Could Tin Tin have sounded more like the BEE GEES intentionally? And they were also on the Brothers Gibb's original US label!
	1:48pm StringOFperils: ...my turntable's still off line tho. Just in case I edged toward making some kind of sense, for some reason...
	1:48pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Sunshine" by "Jonathan Edwards" have absolutely loved this song since I was a child
	🛒 1:49pm PAULS: ↳ Bjorn Be @1:47 Sea shanties only! heh
	🛒 1:49pm DjLorraine: 🤩 Great job as usual thank you Uncle Michael
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: DJL! Thanks!
	🛒 1:52pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Sweet Mary" by "Wadsworth Mansion" I owned this one as an 8 year-old
	1:54pm Gerry from Miami: @unpopularfred. I also love "Sunshine" to death. A perfect record!
	1:54pm dan: Macaroons in Calgary. Interesting mix
	🛒 1:59pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Edison L... Freedy does a nice cover of this. Set sounds like my transistor radio from second grade.
	2:00pm dan: Someone needs to do a documentary on Tony Burrows, the voice behind Edison Lighthouse, Pipkins, White Plains, and First Class.
	2:00pm Roberto: I'm hearing a lot of tunes that have appeared as covers on Tom Scharpling's hits of the '70s series.
	🛒 2:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Sweet City Woman" by "Stampeders" Best Canadian rock trio? Stampeders? Triumph? Rush? Wrong! It's D.O.A!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: ↳ PAULS @1:59 Yeah, and I don't think he screwed with the chord changes like he does with Wichita Lineman.
	2:01pm Gerry from Miami: That period from '69 through '71(coinciding with my Army service years) was a superb time for radio that produced so many "earworm" singles. My source for most of these records was KINT in El Paso, Texas. Any listeners out there familiar with deejay SONNY MELENDREZ?
	2:01pm KWilde: Reliving childhood
	2:02pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Draggin' The Line" by "Tommy James" Here's yet another!
	2:02pm Gerry from Miami: Speaking of the guy that MORRIS LEVY ripped off!!

	2:03pm dan: Supposedly “Dragging The Line” is where the term “Tree Hugger” was borne from

	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Sunny!
	2:12pm adamdoesit: It was a cover chain show from… 2020? that made me a Hinky Dinky Time listener. I was applying spray foam behind a wall at the time. Now whenever I think of cover chains, I think of spray foam… and vice versa.

	2:17pm Gerry from Miami: This version of "Deep Purple" was a Top Ten hit here in South Florida on station WQAM-AM560 when I was in 11th grade. My mom loved it since it had been a hit many years earlier and fit into her idea of what "pop" music should be.
	2:17pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 Not drunk. It was the 80s. I doubt there many people in the audience not high on something.
	2:18pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ dan @2:03 Really? I thought it was a much older expression.
	2:19pm Roberto: Can I get some good vibes for my little kitty Trixie, who may be facing some serious health problems? (She's not the one pictured here, that's Maurice.)

	2:20pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:19 Thanks, hoping she pulls through.
	2:21pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Sending love and healing vibes to kitty Trixy. 💜

	2:22pm San Pedro Girl: Oh yeah!!
	2:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Magdalena" by "Leo Sayer" First I've heard this version of Danny O'Keefe's song. I still don't get LS. It's just me.
	2:25pm dan: The Grass Roots are probably one of the most criminally underrated 60s bands
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Arb's up next! wfmu.org...
	2:26pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Roberto @2:20 Sending you a hug.
	2:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ Roberto @2:19 Adding kitty steroids and tuna juice to the centrifuge and uplinking the output to the low-orbit purr-band amplifier… now. Feel better, Trixie!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:25 two, two, two bands in one!
	2:27pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "I'd Wait A Million Years" by "The Grass Roots" this is one of several songs today that I knew and loved as a child in the early 70's from records and tapes my older siblings left laying around the house

	2:29pm wenzo: RIP KK
	2:30pm StringOFperils: Listening to the people playing these charts behind him. This must be Nashville, right?
	🛒 2:30pm PAULS: ↳ wenzo @2:29 Willie did a set last night here in Austin for the 50th anniversary of Austin City Limits, was a little shaky at first but then warmed up nicely! 91
	2:33pm Gerry from Miami: Is it just me or did Richard Simmons and Leo Sayer look like brothers?
	2:35pm Roberto: I get him! (Leo Sayer)
	2:36pm adamdoesit: I get Leo Sayer, and raise Magdalena a clicky star. PAULS, the Fun 91!
	2:37pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. I just did a little research and it turns out there are several documentaries about TONY BURROWS. Go GOOGLE it out and see if you can locate any of them. There is plenty of written material about him and his unique place in pop music. Good hunting!
	2:38pm TDK60: I recall the Grass Roots started out with a cover of Dylan's Mr Jones (Thin Man). I haven't heard it since.
	2:38pm StringOFperils: I wonder if Tav Falco know about this.

	2:50pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "And When I Die" by "Laura Nyro" I first heard this song through Peter, Paul & Mary's version. Great tune.
	2:50pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:48 Chocolate Salty Balls gets added to Shave 'em Dry and Banana in Your Bowl. Isaac Hayes was a good sport doin' that
