	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's 'Hey Grandma' by MobyGrape - but that's just about cute hippie girls wearing granny glasses & clothes...
	👻 9:27am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:26 And of course "Grandma's Hands," which were not in any way used for lascivious purposes.

	9:31am Toothgrinder Tom: Joe speaks!
	👻 9:37am Charles in Chicago: Hey Joe, thanks for this perfect set. Lots of groups I didn't know about. I learned about the Mills Brothers from Max Fleischer (Betty Boop cartoons). Love this 30's vocal pop
	👻 9:39am tim: Hey Joe and everyone! I'm bummed I missed the Inkspots. They were the favorite group of my hero - Fred G. Sanford.
	9:40am chresti: @alansix- use your feet?
	9:41am traven: ↳ tim @9:39 "That's S A N F O R D period!
	👻 9:42am tim: ↳ traven @9:41 Hahaha! Exactly!
	👻 9:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tim @9:39 Haven't thought about Fred and Lamont in ages. Thanks for reminding me. Those were different times.
	9:45am traven: ↳ tim @9:42 A little bit of trivia: Redd Foxx's actual name was John Sanford - really!
	9:46am Blur: Byrds
	9:46am Rick A: ↳ tim @9:39 Good Morning Joe and all, I have to be in a Zoom meeting in fifteen minutes, so I'm catching some of the show. Yeah, Mr. Sanford used to sing The Inkspots If I Didn't Care repeatedly on the show. Sanford & Son was a favorite of mine growing up.
	9:48am Mark91: ↳ traven @9:45 ...the gentleman who portrayed the character of "Mister Green Jeans" on 'The Captain Kangaroo Show' was Lumpy Branum. He was a 'mountain man' from the Poconos in PA.
	9:48am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @9:45 Did you also know Lamont's real name was Fiphe "Big Dummy" Acrossurlip?
	👻 9:48am Hughie Considine: I learned recently that Sanford & Son was based on a British sitcom called Steptoe and Son.
	9:49am Mark91: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 "Three's Company" was based on a British sitcom, "A Man About the House".
	9:50am traven: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:48 "Oh no! This is the big one!"
	9:50am TDK60: ↳ Mark91 @9:48 Morning Mark 91: I remember Mr. Green Jeans! He also had played bass violin! [?] And worked in Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians. (I just looked at Wickedpee.)
	9:51am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 "All in the Family" was, too. Some channel should do a programming block of the original Brit sitcoms that inspired ours.
	9:53am Son Of Pantz: I wish we would rip off QI over here too. Game shows in the US are abysmally stupid.
	9:53am βrian: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 Can one even buy Strawberry Pipple in the UK?
	👻 9:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @9:51 I would totally watch that. And now you have The Office, which they couldn't even be bothered to rename for the US version.
	9:53am chresti: I remember Mr green jeans
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:53 I've been watching a lot of University Challenge lately. I'm lucky if I know the answer to two questions every episode.
	9:54am βrian: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:53 I've only seen short clips of the Office. Not for me, I guess.
	👻 9:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ βrian @9:53 haha...post-Brexit, who knows?
	9:55am Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "A While Ago and Recently" by "Erlend Øye" This sounds so good. Good morning, Joe, and All!
	9:55am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @9:54 Uni Challenge reminds me, I've been watch the Detectorists lately. That is a brilliant show. They mention Uni Challenge alot
	9:56am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:55 I'm a diehard Detectorists fan. Series 2 a bit weaker, but Series 3 is just as good as the first one.
	9:56am chresti: The tv was always on when I was wittle
	👻 9:57am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:48 Watch it, sucka! You old heathen! I love Aunt Esther's husband who is always drunk.
	9:57am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @9:56 Oh yeah? I love Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook together. They play lovable sad sacks.
	9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 Yes - the lead in that is the actor who was the grandfather in 'A Hard Day's Night'. The running gag about him being 'very clean' refers to him being filthy in the series...
	9:58am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @9:57 "Stop drinking my ripple, Woodrow!"
	9:59am Rick A: ↳ tim @9:57 Woody! Fred dubbed him "Woody the wino". However, later in the series, he quit drinking once they adopted a teenage son.
	👻 9:59am tim: Was there ever an American spin off of Benny Hill? The closest I can think of is the Clinton Whitehouse.
	9:59am traven: ↳ tim @9:57 Aunt Esther - La Wanda Page - was the show's "secret weapon" so to speak.
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @9:59 ...yackety sax & all I suppose...
	10:00am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @9:59 Her stand up rivals Redd's in profanity and lewdness.
	👻 10:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:58 Nice nugget! This is the quality intel I continue to frequent this chat board for.
	10:00am Mr TV: All in the Family was based on the UK sitcom Til Death Us Do Part
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:00 ...well, BeatlesNerd.
	👻 10:02am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:58 Hahaha! I forgot about that, Rick! Grady's another favorite of mine. "I think I'll watch a little television."
	10:03am βrian: We have a friend from the southwest who reminisces about when he was in "skewl."
	10:04am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @10:02 "Time for the late night Creature Feature, Godzilla Eats El Segundo."
	👻 10:05am Charles in Chicago: I walk away and come back and y'all are still talking about Sanford and Son. Love it.

	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @9:56 I adore that show.
	10:06am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @10:05 "It gets you coming...and going!" (insert canned laughter)
	10:06am Hi from Holland: ↳ Hi from Holland @10:05 Wait a minute, it that Joe McGasko secret Record Label "Bongo Joe"?
	10:08am Joe McG: ↳ Hi from Holland @10:06 Ha! Put in a word for me, maybe they need someone in their Amsterdam outpost.
	10:09am Rich in Bristol: Lovely show so far, Joe!
	👻 10:09am tim: ↳ traven @10:05 Hahaha! "I'll have a mai thai and he'll have his tie"
	10:09am Yes: greetings
	10:09am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.
	10:10am traven: ↳ tim @10:09 Grady had quite a green thumb. He grew some mean " wild parsley".
	10:11am Kay_in_Chi: Ooh this is a good one. It's one of those tunes that's new tune but it's so catchy it could be a standard.
	👻 10:12am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:04 My 5 year old son was asking about Godzilla movies. He wanted to know who all Godzilla fought. As I was going down the list, I realized I couldn't remember which were actual movies and which came from Sanford and Son - haha!
	10:12am Hi from Holland: ↳ Joe McG @10:08 👍No Dutch tour dates yet I see on their website :( But a really nice find, will have to login in to bandcamp again soon :)

	10:16am TDK60: ↳ tim @10:12 Tim: Godzilla retired and lives in the apartment above me now. (Ahem.) Maybe I could ask 'Zilla if they recall all their foes.
	10:19am Michael C St Lou: ↳ TDK60 @10:16 🤣I once lived below Frankenstein
	10:19am Gaston: WOW, AN ENO COVER. WHOPPEEE!
	10:20am KWilde: Waiting for a typewriter solo
	👻 10:20am tim: ↳ TDK60 @10:16 Whoa! I hope he walks with a light step.
	10:21am Random Control: Sublime.
	👻 10:21am SeaCreature: Never heard an Eno cover that surpassed the original, tho this is pleasant.
	10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @10:12 PlutoTV has a continuous Godzilla channel. The first thing to learn is Godzilla films are separated into a few specific Eras... Well, there are entire websites for this of course...

	10:33am TDK60: ↳ tim @10:20 Tim: Perhaps my "Ahem" above didn't make my case?
	10:34am JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Nothing to Do with the Dog" by "Krisma" never heard this but it's right up my alley... stopped my chores to clicky the star... back to work!
	10:35am Mike in Montreal: ↳ Joe McG @10:33 will do, thanks Joe!

	👻 10:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ newton @10:47 I don't remember this one but songs could definitely scare you or spook you as a kid. Papa Was a Rolling Stone being a case in point for me.
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:49 BTW, HC, I'm a few chapters in and really enjoying your book! If so inkleined, feel free to post a link at some point.
	👻 10:53am tim: ↳ Song: "Ration" by "Bongo Herman & Bingy Bunny" Joe - was this a Jamaican pressing?

	👻 10:55am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 That's good! I love finding Jamaican pressings. My two favorites are a dancehall 45 in which the center label was stuck on over the grooves and another that has sand imbeded in it.
	👻 10:56am tim: ↳ Song: "It Was Only a Heart" by "Skeeter Davis" Skeeter!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It Was Only a Heart" by "Skeeter Davis" ...wasn't sure wasn't Everlys arf a mo...

	10:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. I must go to work.
	👻 10:59am Hughie Considine: Hey folks, my book is called "The Plus-One: Getting By on Good Connections in the Analog Age." It's about '70s suburbia, cassette making, Winona Ryder, celebrity culture, brother worship, 80s East Village, and finding your way. Bob Mehr wrote a nice back-cover blurb for me. Hope you'll take a look: bookshop.org... and www.amazon.com...
	10:59am Paul: John Ritter's dad. Really.
	10:59am egould: Trimmed their lamps you say? Go on…
	👻 10:59am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" That’s how you switch it on ‘em
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" ...indeed I think how common playing cards correlate directly to the Tarot as model of the Qabbalistic Universe...
	👻 11:00am tim: Man, I'm a sucker for an impassioned monologue backed by church organ.
	11:00am Hi from Holland: ↳ tim @10:55 How do you clean your records? I love giving them a hot soapy batch and then iron out the grooves for a nice smooth finish.
	11:01am Mike in Montreal: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Thanks, I'll check it out
	11:01am Brendan: What, nobody died? I was hoping for a different ending
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Woh. Accomplishment. Sounds like a fun read.
	11:01am Faux Jean: 52 cards, 52 weeks….
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brendan @11:01 ...the bet hadn't even started...

	11:04am ?: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 can't wait to read it, Hughie!
	👻 11:04am tim: ↳ Hi from Holland @11:00 I usually don't do much other than run a record brush over the grooves. With the Jamaican press records I mentioned, the jankiness if the pressings is part of the fun for me.
	11:04am traven: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" "Sir, you've got me and my buddies in a situation where I may get my ass blown away any minute. How the hell can you punish me any MORE?"
	11:05am clarke: ↳ @11:04 me.
	11:05am bob fromPoughkeepsie: wink Martindale also had a with deck of cards. He was a disc jockey.
	👻 11:05am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:05 I'd know that question mark anywhere.
	11:06am Hi from Holland: ↳ tim @11:04 Indeed, less is more is some cases. I can enjoy a good warble & wobble every now and again too.
	11:06am egould: Burt Convey was on everything alot.
	11:06am Noir Lover: Win Lose or Draw
	11:07am newton: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 just bought, looking forward to it. I think there a skit on snl recently about being a plus one?
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:05 non-mysterian-ish.
	👻 11:08am tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Cool! I'll make a purchase request at my library for it.
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: ↳ bob fromPoughkeepsie @11:05 I use to listen to Wink Martindale on KFWB in Los Angeles!
	👻 11:09am Hughie Considine: ↳ newton @11:07 Wow - I hope you enjoy it! Don't know the sketch, but the word is definitely in the current lexicon. In my case it's sort of metaphorical as well as actual.
	👻 11:10am Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @11:08 Awesome, Tim!
	11:11am Yes: dang this is nice
	👻 11:11am doctorjazz: Hey Joe and listeners!

	11:15am Son Of Pantz: Joe, when is the next fundraiser? I forget to get my Swag for Life swag.
	👻 11:15am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Nice, thanks for the heads up!
	👻 11:15am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:11 Only when it starts selling like hotcakes, but a store can order it when besieged with requests.
	11:16am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:15 Look for an email in mid-Feburary. If you didn't get it for this year, email me and I can help.
	11:16am jessicaiscool: Omg I am loving this Joe YESS
	👻 11:16am Bob Tankenstein: Good morning Joe. I have been in and out all morning but have enjoyed all I've heard. As usual! Thanks!
	11:17am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Definitely gonna check that out Hughie
	11:17am fm Mike: I had a dream about Monty Hall last night, and I have never been there 😭
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:15 i would guess distribution, like with music, is tough to get these days.
	👻 11:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Alpine Star" by "William Tyler" I know this one! But not this version...
	11:18am Yes: forgot about this new wt recording. sounds great
	11:18am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @11:16 If it's not too much of a hassle. I need a clean shirt to wear to my mother-in-laws funeral.
	11:19am annette: ugh. gonna take my clothes off here. just bought eltons john book. got it for a good pal who dont have amazon
	👻 11:19am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:18 wow he re-recorded all of "Goes West" inside an empty water tower. Cool!
	👻 11:19am Hughie Considine: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:17 Very cool - much appreciated!
	11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 I don't know if our riderless horse T-shirt sends the right message. Or maybe it does.
	11:20am clarke: pantz - you can borrow annette's shirt. er, blouse.
	👻 11:21am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:19 From WT's Bandcamp: "Something about the frailty and space I wanted the songs to imply was lost in the over-production of the studio record, This felt like a reclamation of the songs and also a symbolic tribute to the stunning, haunted and vast possibilities of the American West, especially at the twilight of American Empire." - I loved "Goes West", didn't think it was overproduced, but this new version is very cool too...
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 also, sorry for your loss!
	11:21am listener monica: Hello, Joe! It's a long time since I've turned on the radio (I was away). This sounds soooo pretty. Thanks!
	👻 11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:18 Real estate is so expensive and space is at such a premium that stores can only stock what they think will sell quickly: best-sellers in best-selling genres.
	11:22am annette: JOE MC GASKO FOR PREZIDENT
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 figured. hope it sells!
	11:23am Joe McG: ↳ listener monica @11:21 Welcome back!

	11:26am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 I'm going to light the fuse for you. Vromans in Pasadena will order anything for anybody, anytime.
	11:26am jessicaiscool: ↳ Song: "Look Again" by "MD Pallavi & Andi Otto" I feel like I'm being microtargeted with this track lol

	👻 11:26am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 Maybe an Ernie K-Doe shirt would work.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ tim @11:26 man, had he (or his manager wife) been couth enough to make shirts, back in the day.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ tim @11:26 i do have a Smiley Lewis shirt tho.
	11:29am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @11:26 Does it feature battle-axes, ball and chains or thumb screws? She loved these things.
	11:29am clarke: save us from the ball and chain!
	11:29am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m in awe of anyone who writes a book.
	11:29am Yes: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:18 awesome set
	11:30am Yes: whoops didnt mean to @ you , charles..
	11:30am βrian: Irene will soon be in alignment on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	11:32am Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" So nice. I never really heard some of these lyrics before...
	11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Always reminds me of Groundhog Day.
	👻 11:32am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Purty!
	👻 11:32am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:29 Ummm, I think Ernie's mother-in-law was a little less draconian based on the lyrics.
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Ordered! :) Bookshop.org for the win
	11:33am clarke: ↳ tim @11:32 1 well, her daughter was a sweetheart miss antionette saved his life!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Song for a Friend" by "Marc Ellington" Almost sounds like Richard Thompson back there. But clearly actual sit-down steel. Nice Gittarz.
	11:34am annette: international space station peering thru my bathroom window at 4am. and am 100 % clean
	11:34am Yes: these are all bangers
	11:34am Dano59: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" SN in the background since I got up. Had to log on to say this is bee-yoo-ti-ful. Why. don't they write 'em like that anymore?
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:33 Fantastic! And I really appreciate all the positive feedback from all the kind folks today.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:35 it makes a great stocking-stuffer??
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Marcie" by "Joni Mitchell" Alternate universe where NickDrake marries Joni & everyone's real happy.
	👻 11:38am egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 I’d like to exist in that universe.
	11:38am listener monica: This was one of my first records.
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:37 Depending on the size of your stocking, yes.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:38 is it hardback or paper??
	11:39am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Such an incredibly beautiful voice, Brigid has. Will forever rank very high for me, for her agreeing to appear at the anarchist bookshop/educational center/activist hub Property Is Theft in E Wmsbg, Bklyn, where she probably split a small door donation between two other great acts. Couldn’t be more important in this moment to raise one’s anti-capitalist voice much louder. Brigid and her ilk are folk heroes. Deny. Defend. Depose. Time to get off the sidelines. The moment is now - Rise up, 99%!
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:39 paper... hardback would be quite a heavy lift for a self-published book.
	11:40am Crownless Gander: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 So many Joni songs about toxically masculine jerks we would miss out on!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 and to get into a stocking!
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:40 Oh it would never work. Just saying...
	11:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:42 Pretty selfish of me to deny them happiness so I can enjoy their sad songs, mind you.
	11:45am chris_in_space: This show is always such a treat! Thanks @Joe. Cheers everyone.
	👻 11:46am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Song: "Reach Out, I'll Be There" by "Diana Ross" I love how Diana puts her own spin on this...she's the only one who could pull off a cover like this.
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Looks fab, HC. My '90s-'00s experiences at will-call led me to believe my tombstone should say 'What do you mean i'm not on the list'
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:46 Well ...maybe only way to do it is completely differently.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:47 they never want to find your name.
	11:49am newton: Damn, those breakfast dishes didn't wash themselves!
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" hardin!
	👻 11:50am Karl: I love this place
	11:50am Dano59: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:46 The Supremes had quite a few outside-the-box versions of others' hits - almost the entire 'A Go-Go' album, e.g.
	11:50am βrian: ↳ newton @11:49 We keep telling ourselves we're going to buy a dishwasher, but we've yet to find one that cleans 'em faster than we do.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" ...whereas Lester Flatt had veered into PrawgMetal...
	11:51am Yes: ↳ Karl @11:50 same
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:47 Haha, so you can relate! The plus-one seems to be a cousin of the middle child, spiritually.
	11:53am Alanthepainter: Great set Joe, thank you!
	11:53am Yes: this is the heat. thanks joe and all
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Joe. Super way to start my non-working week.
	11:53am KWilde: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" Who is singing the lead vocal?
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:39 Carsie Blanton is my latest heroine fighting the power.
	👻 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
	👻 11:54am bradford: Thanks as always, Joe.
	👻 11:54am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Thanks Joe!

	11:55am newton: ↳ Dano59 @11:50 And a Rogers and Hart Songbook!
	11:55am Dano59: ↳ tim @11:54 wait, who sang that? I thought Rod's only Tim Hardin song was Reason to Believe.
	11:56am newton: ↳ βrian @11:50 I bought a dishwasher, then never used it!
	👻 11:56am tadpoles: Nice show thanks Joe. I remember "Deck of Cards" from bygone Sunday request shows LOL. Cheers

	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Crownless Gander: Thank you, Joe, really nice episode to work to!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:55 Do you look for a job dressed like that, sir?
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 is it a wednesday?
	11:58am Joe McG: Have a great week everybody! See you next Monday.

	👻 9:27am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:26 And of course "Grandma's Hands," which were not in any way used for lascivious purposes.

	9:46am Blur: Byrds
	9:46am Rick A: ↳ tim @9:39 Good Morning Joe and all, I have to be in a Zoom meeting in fifteen minutes, so I'm catching some of the show. Yeah, Mr. Sanford used to sing The Inkspots If I Didn't Care repeatedly on the show. Sanford & Son was a favorite of mine growing up.
	9:48am Mark91: ↳ traven @9:45 ...the gentleman who portrayed the character of "Mister Green Jeans" on 'The Captain Kangaroo Show' was Lumpy Branum. He was a 'mountain man' from the Poconos in PA.
	9:48am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @9:45 Did you also know Lamont's real name was Fiphe "Big Dummy" Acrossurlip?

	9:51am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 "All in the Family" was, too. Some channel should do a programming block of the original Brit sitcoms that inspired ours.
	9:53am Son Of Pantz: I wish we would rip off QI over here too. Game shows in the US are abysmally stupid.
	9:53am βrian: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 Can one even buy Strawberry Pipple in the UK?
	👻 9:53am Hughie Considine: ↳ Joe McG @9:51 I would totally watch that. And now you have The Office, which they couldn't even be bothered to rename for the US version.
	9:53am chresti: I remember Mr green jeans
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:53 I've been watching a lot of University Challenge lately. I'm lucky if I know the answer to two questions every episode.
	9:54am βrian: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:53 I've only seen short clips of the Office. Not for me, I guess.
	👻 9:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ βrian @9:53 haha...post-Brexit, who knows?

	9:56am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:55 I'm a diehard Detectorists fan. Series 2 a bit weaker, but Series 3 is just as good as the first one.
	9:56am chresti: The tv was always on when I was wittle

	9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @9:48 Yes - the lead in that is the actor who was the grandfather in 'A Hard Day's Night'. The running gag about him being 'very clean' refers to him being filthy in the series...
	9:58am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @9:57 "Stop drinking my ripple, Woodrow!"
	9:59am Rick A: ↳ tim @9:57 Woody! Fred dubbed him "Woody the wino". However, later in the series, he quit drinking once they adopted a teenage son.

	9:59am traven: ↳ tim @9:57 Aunt Esther - La Wanda Page - was the show's "secret weapon" so to speak.
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @9:59 ...yackety sax & all I suppose...
	10:00am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @9:59 Her stand up rivals Redd's in profanity and lewdness.
	👻 10:00am Hughie Considine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:58 Nice nugget! This is the quality intel I continue to frequent this chat board for.
	10:00am Mr TV: All in the Family was based on the UK sitcom Til Death Us Do Part
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:00 ...well, BeatlesNerd.
	👻 10:02am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:58 Hahaha! I forgot about that, Rick! Grady's another favorite of mine. "I think I'll watch a little television."
	10:03am βrian: We have a friend from the southwest who reminisces about when he was in "skewl."
	10:04am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @10:02 "Time for the late night Creature Feature, Godzilla Eats El Segundo."
	👻 10:05am Charles in Chicago: I walk away and come back and y'all are still talking about Sanford and Son. Love it.

	10:05am Franco Twinkie: Good morning everybody.
	10:05am traven: ↳ tim @10:02 Remember those cocktails he used to make? Vodka and prune juice?!
	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @9:56 I adore that show.
	10:06am Son Of Pantz: ↳ traven @10:05 "It gets you coming...and going!" (insert canned laughter)

	10:08am Joe McG: ↳ Hi from Holland @10:06 Ha! Put in a word for me, maybe they need someone in their Amsterdam outpost.
	10:09am Rich in Bristol: Lovely show so far, Joe!
	👻 10:09am tim: ↳ traven @10:05 Hahaha! "I'll have a mai thai and he'll have his tie"
	10:09am Yes: greetings
	10:09am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Joe and Everyone.
	10:10am traven: ↳ tim @10:09 Grady had quite a green thumb. He grew some mean " wild parsley".
	10:11am Kay_in_Chi: Ooh this is a good one. It's one of those tunes that's new tune but it's so catchy it could be a standard.
	👻 10:12am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:04 My 5 year old son was asking about Godzilla movies. He wanted to know who all Godzilla fought. As I was going down the list, I realized I couldn't remember which were actual movies and which came from Sanford and Son - haha!
	10:12am Hi from Holland: ↳ Joe McG @10:08 👍No Dutch tour dates yet I see on their website :( But a really nice find, will have to login in to bandcamp again soon :)

	10:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @10:12 PlutoTV has a continuous Godzilla channel. The first thing to learn is Godzilla films are separated into a few specific Eras... Well, there are entire websites for this of course...

	10:33am TDK60: ↳ tim @10:20 Tim: Perhaps my "Ahem" above didn't make my case?

	10:47am newton: this song used to scare me when I was 9
	👻 10:48am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Mammy Blue" by "Pop-Tops" Wow. just BARELY remember this one.
	👻 10:49am Hughie Considine: ↳ newton @10:47 I don't remember this one but songs could definitely scare you or spook you as a kid. Papa Was a Rolling Stone being a case in point for me.
	10:50am Joe McG: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:49 BTW, HC, I'm a few chapters in and really enjoying your book! If so inkleined, feel free to post a link at some point.
	👻 10:53am tim: ↳ Song: "Ration" by "Bongo Herman & Bingy Bunny" Joe - was this a Jamaican pressing?

	👻 10:55am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:53 That's good! I love finding Jamaican pressings. My two favorites are a dancehall 45 in which the center label was stuck on over the grooves and another that has sand imbeded in it.
	👻 10:56am tim: ↳ Song: "It Was Only a Heart" by "Skeeter Davis" Skeeter!
	10:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "It Was Only a Heart" by "Skeeter Davis" ...wasn't sure wasn't Everlys arf a mo...

	10:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. I must go to work.
	👻 10:59am Hughie Considine: Hey folks, my book is called "The Plus-One: Getting By on Good Connections in the Analog Age." It's about '70s suburbia, cassette making, Winona Ryder, celebrity culture, brother worship, 80s East Village, and finding your way. Bob Mehr wrote a nice back-cover blurb for me. Hope you'll take a look: bookshop.org... and www.amazon.com...
	10:59am Paul: John Ritter's dad. Really.
	10:59am egould: Trimmed their lamps you say? Go on…
	👻 10:59am Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" That’s how you switch it on ‘em
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" ...indeed I think how common playing cards correlate directly to the Tarot as model of the Qabbalistic Universe...
	👻 11:00am tim: Man, I'm a sucker for an impassioned monologue backed by church organ.
	11:00am Hi from Holland: ↳ tim @10:55 How do you clean your records? I love giving them a hot soapy batch and then iron out the grooves for a nice smooth finish.
	11:01am Mike in Montreal: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Thanks, I'll check it out
	11:01am Brendan: What, nobody died? I was hoping for a different ending
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Woh. Accomplishment. Sounds like a fun read.
	11:01am Faux Jean: 52 cards, 52 weeks….
	11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brendan @11:01 ...the bet hadn't even started...
	11:02am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Sounds great!
	👻 11:03am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Neat! 📖
	11:04am ?: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 can't wait to read it, Hughie!
	👻 11:04am tim: ↳ Hi from Holland @11:00 I usually don't do much other than run a record brush over the grooves. With the Jamaican press records I mentioned, the jankiness if the pressings is part of the fun for me.
	11:04am traven: ↳ Song: "Deck of Cards" by "Tex Ritter" "Sir, you've got me and my buddies in a situation where I may get my ass blown away any minute. How the hell can you punish me any MORE?"
	11:05am clarke: ↳ @11:04 me.
	11:05am bob fromPoughkeepsie: wink Martindale also had a with deck of cards. He was a disc jockey.
	👻 11:05am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:05 I'd know that question mark anywhere.
	11:06am Hi from Holland: ↳ tim @11:04 Indeed, less is more is some cases. I can enjoy a good warble & wobble every now and again too.
	11:06am egould: Burt Convey was on everything alot.
	11:06am Noir Lover: Win Lose or Draw
	11:07am newton: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 just bought, looking forward to it. I think there a skit on snl recently about being a plus one?
	11:08am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:05 non-mysterian-ish.
	👻 11:08am tim: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Cool! I'll make a purchase request at my library for it.
	11:09am Franco Twinkie: ↳ bob fromPoughkeepsie @11:05 I use to listen to Wink Martindale on KFWB in Los Angeles!
	👻 11:09am Hughie Considine: ↳ newton @11:07 Wow - I hope you enjoy it! Don't know the sketch, but the word is definitely in the current lexicon. In my case it's sort of metaphorical as well as actual.
	👻 11:10am Hughie Considine: ↳ tim @11:08 Awesome, Tim!
	11:11am Yes: dang this is nice
	👻 11:11am doctorjazz: Hey Joe and listeners!

	11:15am Son Of Pantz: Joe, when is the next fundraiser? I forget to get my Swag for Life swag.
	👻 11:15am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Nice, thanks for the heads up!
	👻 11:15am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:11 Only when it starts selling like hotcakes, but a store can order it when besieged with requests.
	11:16am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:15 Look for an email in mid-Feburary. If you didn't get it for this year, email me and I can help.
	11:16am jessicaiscool: Omg I am loving this Joe YESS
	👻 11:16am Bob Tankenstein: Good morning Joe. I have been in and out all morning but have enjoyed all I've heard. As usual! Thanks!
	11:17am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Definitely gonna check that out Hughie
	11:17am fm Mike: I had a dream about Monty Hall last night, and I have never been there 😭
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:15 i would guess distribution, like with music, is tough to get these days.
	👻 11:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Alpine Star" by "William Tyler" I know this one! But not this version...
	11:18am Yes: forgot about this new wt recording. sounds great
	11:18am Son Of Pantz: ↳ Joe McG @11:16 If it's not too much of a hassle. I need a clean shirt to wear to my mother-in-laws funeral.
	11:19am annette: ugh. gonna take my clothes off here. just bought eltons john book. got it for a good pal who dont have amazon
	👻 11:19am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:18 wow he re-recorded all of "Goes West" inside an empty water tower. Cool!
	👻 11:19am Hughie Considine: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:17 Very cool - much appreciated!
	11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 I don't know if our riderless horse T-shirt sends the right message. Or maybe it does.
	11:20am clarke: pantz - you can borrow annette's shirt. er, blouse.
	👻 11:21am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:19 From WT's Bandcamp: "Something about the frailty and space I wanted the songs to imply was lost in the over-production of the studio record, This felt like a reclamation of the songs and also a symbolic tribute to the stunning, haunted and vast possibilities of the American West, especially at the twilight of American Empire." - I loved "Goes West", didn't think it was overproduced, but this new version is very cool too...
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 also, sorry for your loss!
	11:21am listener monica: Hello, Joe! It's a long time since I've turned on the radio (I was away). This sounds soooo pretty. Thanks!
	👻 11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:18 Real estate is so expensive and space is at such a premium that stores can only stock what they think will sell quickly: best-sellers in best-selling genres.
	11:22am annette: JOE MC GASKO FOR PREZIDENT
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 figured. hope it sells!
	11:23am Joe McG: ↳ listener monica @11:21 Welcome back!
	11:24am northguineahills: hola joe and noiserinos!
	11:25am newton: looking forward to Monica's fill in for SW in two weeks!
	11:25am jessicaiscool: ↳ annette @11:22 Straight up
	11:26am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 I'm going to light the fuse for you. Vromans in Pasadena will order anything for anybody, anytime.
	11:26am jessicaiscool: ↳ Song: "Look Again" by "MD Pallavi & Andi Otto" I feel like I'm being microtargeted with this track lol
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:26 cool!!
	👻 11:26am Deano de los Muertos: Killin it today, Joe
	11:26am ViolaChica: So digging this vibe this morning Joe! Thank you. I needed this!
	👻 11:26am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:18 Maybe an Ernie K-Doe shirt would work.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ tim @11:26 man, had he (or his manager wife) been couth enough to make shirts, back in the day.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ tim @11:26 i do have a Smiley Lewis shirt tho.
	11:29am Son Of Pantz: ↳ tim @11:26 Does it feature battle-axes, ball and chains or thumb screws? She loved these things.
	11:29am clarke: save us from the ball and chain!
	11:29am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m in awe of anyone who writes a book.
	11:29am Yes: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:18 awesome set
	11:30am Yes: whoops didnt mean to @ you , charles..
	11:30am βrian: Irene will soon be in alignment on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	11:32am Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" So nice. I never really heard some of these lyrics before...
	11:32am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Always reminds me of Groundhog Day.
	👻 11:32am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Purty!
	👻 11:32am tim: ↳ Son Of Pantz @11:29 Ummm, I think Ernie's mother-in-law was a little less draconian based on the lyrics.
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Ordered! :) Bookshop.org for the win
	11:33am clarke: ↳ tim @11:32 1 well, her daughter was a sweetheart miss antionette saved his life!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Song for a Friend" by "Marc Ellington" Almost sounds like Richard Thompson back there. But clearly actual sit-down steel. Nice Gittarz.
	11:34am annette: international space station peering thru my bathroom window at 4am. and am 100 % clean
	11:34am Yes: these are all bangers
	11:34am Dano59: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" SN in the background since I got up. Had to log on to say this is bee-yoo-ti-ful. Why. don't they write 'em like that anymore?
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:33 Fantastic! And I really appreciate all the positive feedback from all the kind folks today.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:35 it makes a great stocking-stuffer??
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Marcie" by "Joni Mitchell" Alternate universe where NickDrake marries Joni & everyone's real happy.
	👻 11:38am egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 I’d like to exist in that universe.
	11:38am listener monica: This was one of my first records.
	👻 11:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:37 Depending on the size of your stocking, yes.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:38 is it hardback or paper??
	11:39am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "You Don't Know Me" by "Brigid Mae Power" Such an incredibly beautiful voice, Brigid has. Will forever rank very high for me, for her agreeing to appear at the anarchist bookshop/educational center/activist hub Property Is Theft in E Wmsbg, Bklyn, where she probably split a small door donation between two other great acts. Couldn’t be more important in this moment to raise one’s anti-capitalist voice much louder. Brigid and her ilk are folk heroes. Deny. Defend. Depose. Time to get off the sidelines. The moment is now - Rise up, 99%!
	👻 11:40am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:39 paper... hardback would be quite a heavy lift for a self-published book.
	11:40am Crownless Gander: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 So many Joni songs about toxically masculine jerks we would miss out on!
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:40 and to get into a stocking!
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:40 Oh it would never work. Just saying...
	11:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:42 Pretty selfish of me to deny them happiness so I can enjoy their sad songs, mind you.
	11:45am chris_in_space: This show is always such a treat! Thanks @Joe. Cheers everyone.
	👻 11:46am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Song: "Reach Out, I'll Be There" by "Diana Ross" I love how Diana puts her own spin on this...she's the only one who could pull off a cover like this.
	11:47am Dano59: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:59 Looks fab, HC. My '90s-'00s experiences at will-call led me to believe my tombstone should say 'What do you mean i'm not on the list'
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:46 Well ...maybe only way to do it is completely differently.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:47 they never want to find your name.
	11:49am newton: Damn, those breakfast dishes didn't wash themselves!
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" hardin!
	👻 11:50am Karl: I love this place
	11:50am Dano59: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @11:46 The Supremes had quite a few outside-the-box versions of others' hits - almost the entire 'A Go-Go' album, e.g.
	11:50am βrian: ↳ newton @11:49 We keep telling ourselves we're going to buy a dishwasher, but we've yet to find one that cleans 'em faster than we do.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" ...whereas Lester Flatt had veered into PrawgMetal...
	11:51am Yes: ↳ Karl @11:50 same
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:52am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dano59 @11:47 Haha, so you can relate! The plus-one seems to be a cousin of the middle child, spiritually.
	11:53am Alanthepainter: Great set Joe, thank you!
	11:53am Yes: this is the heat. thanks joe and all
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Joe. Super way to start my non-working week.
	11:53am KWilde: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" Who is singing the lead vocal?
	11:53am Dano59: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:39 Carsie Blanton is my latest heroine fighting the power.
	👻 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
	👻 11:54am bradford: Thanks as always, Joe.
	👻 11:54am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:54am tim: ↳ Song: "Mandolin Wind" by "The Earl Scruggs Revue" Wow that was good! Thanks for the show today, Joe!
	11:54am clarke: actually, rod covered it from Tim Hardin.
	👻 11:54am Hughie Considine: Thanks for a great show, as always, Joe -- and thanks for the plug!
	11:55am clarke: thanks Joe! still kinda waking up. and you helped!!
	11:55am newton: ↳ Dano59 @11:50 And a Rogers and Hart Songbook!
	11:55am Dano59: ↳ tim @11:54 wait, who sang that? I thought Rod's only Tim Hardin song was Reason to Believe.
	11:56am newton: ↳ βrian @11:50 I bought a dishwasher, then never used it!
	👻 11:56am tadpoles: Nice show thanks Joe. I remember "Deck of Cards" from bygone Sunday request shows LOL. Cheers
	11:57am traven: ↳ tim @11:54 Hey Tim, I've decided on tonight's menu: steak - a - rice - roni - beany!
	11:57am newton: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:58am Crownless Gander: Thank you, Joe, really nice episode to work to!
	11:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @11:55 Do you look for a job dressed like that, sir?
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:58 is it a wednesday?
	11:58am Joe McG: Have a great week everybody! See you next Monday.
