	♥ 8:25pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hey Handy!
	♥ 8:25pm Deano de los Muertos: 💪😤
	♥ 8:25pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:16 Hey, Handy. I was working all morning, couldn't tune into WAB, but I heard about Danny Pipes.
	♥ 8:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @8:25 Man, so sad. It was a come-together moment on WAB.
	8:29pm Matty Cannabis: Johnny Paycheck! No frills. Dig him.
	8:33pm John wesley coleman: Great show tonight ! Sitting on the back porch in Austin digging the tunes and drinking beer
	8:35pm Becky: ↳ John wesley coleman @8:33 That sounds great! We're supposed to get snow tomorrow so no porch-sitting for a while.
	8:36pm FoolishBandit: Can someone re-explain to me what a Popcorn record is? I'm a bit confused
	8:37pm Becky: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:36 If Mr. Fine Wine is still in the audience I'll kick it to him while I'm doing some paperwork over here
	♥ 8:37pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ John wesley coleman @8:33 Home just in time to lean against the coal furnace and drink a beer while listening. We Tonkies gotta stick together in these weird times. Howdy!
	♥ 8:37pm Handy Haversack: I had an old granary to clear and heard all sorts of tales about the anvil market and how the anvil on which my grandmother used to chop up the chicken feed would be such a score and how I needed to get in touch with the anvil people because anvils were gold, and then I did and the anvil person was super psyched about my description of the anvil and was all over it offered ... $60. And when I said, "Really?" He went to "Well, OK, $70," and I decided it really didn't take up that much room after all.
	♥ 8:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:36 Justice Potter might also have an opinion.
	♥ 8:38pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:37 Sounds cheap unless it is tiny. Most anvils seem to start at $150
	♥ 8:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:38 Right? Well, depressed economy out in western Michigan. I'll wait for the market to bounce back. Or you never know what you might need.
	8:41pm Mark T: Outstanding show tonight, thanks.
	8:41pm FoolishBandit: The show is great btw!! Great vibes
	8:42pm Becky: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:36 Popcorn is a musical genre defined by a group of nice people in Belgium in the 1970s. Midtempo American or Jamaican records from the 50s-70s, for the most part, but not exclusively. Can be any genre as long as it is a tempo that lends itself to partner dancing where you twirl around the whole time. Common themes include working, minor keys, anvils. Sixteen Tons and Fever are classic examples of popcorn.
	🎸 ♥ 8:42pm ultradamno: I remember hearing an interview on noisextra where a guy talked about getting a real anvil onstage to use as percussion and how heavy it was and how little sound it produced....something you'd think they'd have at least half assumed and tested prior to going to the trouble of moving it.
	8:43pm FoolishBandit: @Becky Thank you for the deeper explanation!! I love learning about genres like this!!
	8:44pm Becky: ↳ ultradamno @8:42 I would watch a short film about the effort taken to get an anvil on stage culminating in a soft dull thud
	♥ 8:44pm Barney Grubbs: popping in with my annual reminder: tomorrow is Thurl Ravenscroft’s 111th birthday
	♥ 8:45pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ ultradamno @8:42 I wonder what made the anvil noise on sixteen tons and other songs is. Also, False Anvil sounds like a terrible prog band
	8:45pm Becky: ↳ Barney Grubbs @8:44 Thanks for doing that good deed, Barney <3
	🎸 ♥ 8:49pm ultradamno: I was in a noise band in the 80s and recorded stuff banging on a big tank in a basement that had been used for heating fuel...that made an awesome sound, kind of like this 1800tankvac.com...
	♥ 8:51pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ ultradamno @8:49 Did you ever see the video of the kid playing a washing machine? youtu.be...
	8:51pm Becky: Wondering what was actually used to create the "twice on the pipe" sound in Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando & Dawn
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm ultradamno: I haven't, I'll look at that. My washing machine's spin cycle is getting loud
	♥ 8:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "When The World Comes To An End" by "Tommy Dickens" This feels like a terribly, tragically foreshadowing prequel to "Newsboy"! Thanks, Becky! Another wonderful and wonder-filled hour!
	♥ 8:55pm Handy Haversack: And happy eleventeenth, Thurl!
	♥ 8:59pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:55 was that Thurl doing the “who are these miserable persons” in the old hobbit cartoon?
	♥ 8:59pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks, DJ Becky!
	8:59pm John wesley coleman: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:37 Howdy!
	♥ 9:00pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Becky 🏜️
	9:02pm Audiocarp: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:45 I don’t think is an anvil sound in 16 tons? Especially since it’s about working in a coal mine… you may thinking about that Cgain gang song?
	♥ 9:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Barney Grubbs @8:59 "The goblins in The Hobbit are huge, fat, froggy terrors with cat eyes, bull horns, and enormous mouths. What’s in their enormous mouths? Well, teeth, as you’d expect. But scarier than that is that they have two throats. TWO THROATS!! Why on Middle-earth would anything need two throats? The goblins end up as a constant threat for the dwarves and hobbits. They show up three times throughout the story, the first two of which come with their own songs. If you listen you can hear Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of “Tony the Tiger” and singer of the Grinch song, singing the above. Who else would you need?" nerdist.com... Signs point to yes!
