	10:56am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @10:52 How's the view?
	10:59am Listener Baby: Right now? Typical central coast morning. Slight haze, with light winds from the south. Visibility 5 miles. But ever changing.
	10:59am Listener Baby: Chilli and eggs, with coffee. You?
	11:00am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @10:59 Just decaf... no food...
	♥ 11:00am Squints: ok then. hey HEY hey now. Here until 1145 or so then Mother's Day lunch at MiL's independent living facility.
	11:00am Listener Baby: Worried about you.
	♥ 11:00am NotARealDoctor: Hey there Michael and number 1 hit fans! Checking in from behind the counter at the Costco pharmacy!
	11:01am clarke: heyyyyyyyy now.
	♥ 11:01am Frank In Queens: Hey NOW!
	♥ 11:01am Mark T: Good morning
	11:02am clarke: top ten tune, hear.
	♥ 11:02am Michael in Montclair: Good Morning Mr. Shelley and everyone!
	♥ 11:02am Squints: Many thanks to Michael, clarke, Handy and Dave. You fellas know why.
	♥ 11:02am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Wanted to mention that we saw Robbie Fulks on Monday here in Traverse City, MI. Totally off the hook from start to finish. Show of the year! First heard Robbie on this show, which led to me, my wife, and my brother and sister law seeing a RF/Linda Gail Lewis show, which finally led to my brother in law putting on Monday’s show. So thanks, Michael, for kicking off that chain of events!
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:02 i think that people are the greatest...
	♥ 11:03am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "Love" YES!
	♥ 11:03am StringOFperils: Under orange skies the evergreens stand tall
	11:04am Listener Baby: UFO did this? No?
	♥ 11:04am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:02 The very next day, as it happens, a couple other regulars in my primary dive bar, for no reason at all, were at pains to remind me that I have a place there and that I'm one of them. They didn't have to do that. It's been a good week.
	♥ 11:05am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Would never have heard this number one if not for this show a few years back.
	11:06am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:04 excellence!!

	♥ 11:06am Frank In Queens: ↳ Listener Baby @11:04 Indeed!
	11:06am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" I think the original track is the Bee Gees best tune, Numero Uno. Am I right?
	11:06am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Would vote this track on the compilation LP
	♥ 11:07am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:06 Certainly the best of their funk awakening.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:06 i hope the mets didn't have an april like the O's.
	11:07am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:06 Is that a real thing?
	11:07am Bob Tankenstein: This rocks
	11:08am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:07 Only in my mind.
	♥ 11:08am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:07 Mets had a great April!
	11:08am clarke: is that tangible, sir?
	11:08am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:08 :( May as well make it a boxed set then.
	♥ 11:09am Frank In Queens: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:08 Only 1-1 in May though...
	11:09am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:08 that's what i thought, i just haven't been able to follow every team, as college baseball is crayzeee this year.

	♥ 11:10am JG: Midnight Special on youtube is such a treasure trove. will look for that Bee Gees
	♥ 11:11am Squints: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You Forever" by "Will Worden" A kind of but nae quite Gene Clark vibe here. Well, until the harpsichord.
	♥ 11:11am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:09 How have your guys been doing?
	11:11am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:08 Hell yes. Complete with liner notes from the man himself. The stories are even better than the music.
	♥ 11:11am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Michael, BABY, Frank, Clarke, other Montclair Michael, all! The Damned played a terrific version of "Alone Again Or" the other night.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:11 we could be ranked #1 after this weekend - if it goes well - there's so much rain in the south, right now.
	♥ 11:12am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:11 Heya Jack
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:11 howdy jack!
	11:12am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You Forever" by "Will Worden" Whoa. Little John Lennon time shift there. Bold.

	11:13am Patster: Has a Constellations vibe.
	♥ 11:13am egould: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Recorded about half a mile from my place. Morning, Michael and everyone.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:13 this year, it is not a great thing to be number one, ha ha. better to lurk.

	11:15am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	11:15am Moammar: My hair getting bigger ... my lapels and tie getting wider ...
	♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: Aw, Rex, that was my station ID! Wooooooooooooooo!
	♥ 11:16am Squints: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... Her life's a myst-I-re.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:16 mount hope?? are you insane??
	♥ 11:17am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:16 Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... What a wonderful malleable song
	♥ 11:17am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 It's another thing there ain't no of.
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 Hi Yogi
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:17 rosemary goes.
	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... Ya know, if a playlist of songs done like this were a bar playlist, that would be quite alright.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 fellow shamus!!
	♥ 11:19am JG: All number ones so far
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:18 it's painful to go into a random bar, these days - you have to know the bartender slash music controller.
	♥ 11:19am egould: ↳ Song: "Get Out Of Denver" by "Furies" Summer of Seger!
	♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 Hey baby! I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
	♥ 11:20am drr: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:06 I'm a "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" man.
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:19 BBC lets some of us run the Spotify sometimes. Sometimes.
	11:21am Moammar: No has ever gone from vital to lame as fast as Bob Seger.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ drr @11:20 quite the thuder-bumpers last nite.
	♥ 11:21am Franco Twinkie: Help me out here: Chresti and I saw Love at a club in Hollywood right after Arthur Lee got out of prison. Mike Randle was the lead guitar player and Exene Cervenka opened the show. It was the L.A. version of a New York City club. What the hell was it called?
	♥ 11:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:20 My 17-year-old self would cringe to hear me say that I too am such a man.
	♥ 11:21am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:18 Dos she, you know, go?
	11:22am Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @11:20 You're a tender fanny man, got it!
	♥ 11:22am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 Nah, Hughie. I loved that unashamedly even then.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:21 well, uhhh, yes she does go.
	♥ 11:23am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:21 Yeah, by 1980, maybe even 1979, he'd become Middle-Aged Man in like a heartbeat.
	11:24am ?: Baby Lemonade is a song by Sid Barrett, former member of Pink Floyd. Wonder which came first?
	♥ 11:24am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:21 Luna Park?
	♥ 11:24am Franco Twinkie: Five String Serenade or Feathered Fish?
	♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:22 You were braver than I. It was the Disco Demolition era. A kid in my yearbook class had "Shoot the Bee Gees" as her yearbook quote.
	♥ 11:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:24 No, it was on Hollywood Blvd.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:24 i, too, was horrified by the beegee's transformation - at the time.
	♥ 11:25am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:25 Raji’s? Raji’s II?
	♥ 11:25am Hughie Considine: Wes Anderson turned a lot of people onto Love.
	♥ 11:26am drr: ↳ JG @11:10 You are quite right about that. After band rehearsals a couple of us hang out and watch those. I particularly liked when Wilson Pickett was the host and he introduced "Spooky Tooth!!!!" He was clearly puzzled and amused by their name.
	♥ 11:27am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 For like a second, and only because I was hoping pressing the lever would get me more of the previous pellets. I got past it pretty quickly. Even SNF didn't push me totally off, however much it sanded off whatever edge was left. Sgt Pepper lost me, though. But much like the 1986 Mets, I got over it.
	♥ 11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:25 No, but I did see Love at Raji's right before Arthur was sent up the river. Mike Randle was in that band too.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:27 still can't do the pepper - ouch.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:25 Right, but you were a fan of the early records, whereas much of the high school mooks I knew were never fans to begin with. So the Bee Gees became the enemy because they were so ubiquitous.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Song: "I'm The One" by "Jake Worthington Featuring Marty... marty stuart was on TCM, last week, co-hosting a few of his movie picks. he was quite good.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 oh yeah - was TOTALLY into Odessa!!
	♥ 11:30am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 Today, you can’t see a rock show on Hollywood Blvd., but you can buy rock cocaine. Go figure.
	♥ 11:30am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 He tickles me with the way he says "BerMOOda."
	♥ 11:30am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:30 True that!
	♥ 11:31am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:21 Was it this gig?
	♥ 11:32am StringOFperils: love.torbenskott.dk...
	♥ 11:32am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 Yeah. Similarly, in high school, because they were one of my brother's favorite bands, I was all "and we didn't play no Skynyrd, either." Then I went to college and shook myself by the damned shoulder. Buuba and I have frighteningly similar tastes. I think we're too alike to live together, though, let alone share a room.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:30 yah! ha ha.
	♥ 11:32am Hughie Considine: Oh man, Peter Wolf and Swamp Dogg should collaborate while there's still time.
	♥ 11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	♥ 11:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:31 No, but I did see Roky Erickson there!
	11:34am Listener Baby: It’s the Decaf, Baby. Think about it.
	♥ 11:34am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:28 They along with Frampton were collateral damage in Sgt Pepper, which was going to be preposterous no matter who was cast.
	11:34am maureen: yes! we need a lee dorsey stamp! absolutely.
	♥ 11:34am Squints: ↳ Song: "Can You Hear Me?" by "Lee Dorsey" I'm so tired. How long can this go on.
	11:34am maureen: can I request "working in coal mine" ? it's such a classic! and the video is great!!!
	♥ 11:34am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:33 Are you sure you didn’t just end up at Jumbo’s Clown Room?
	11:35am clarke: guys: idea: Shemp Stamp!! do it!!
	11:35am Listener Baby: ↳ Moammar @11:21 The Cars? Rod Stewart? Genesis? You are correct, but he has some company
	♥ 11:35am Squints: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" A yabba dabba do ya.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:32 I can still hear my brother dissing me when I put on certain records of a sensitive nature. Can be hard to shake off the mindset of that era.
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:33 tHE kNITTING fACTORY, LA version
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:34 That was another time! I was with a guy from Green on Red.
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 YES!!!!!
	♥ 11:37am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:36 May 1. 2002
	11:37am Moammar: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" So, in this one. we'll just vamp for a few minutes and let Lee be Lee. Toss in the bari sax from "Ride Your Pony." Instant hit.
	♥ 11:37am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:37 Oh man, you are on the ball this morning!
	♥ 11:38am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 A little internet triangulation
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 i, on the other hand, am NOT
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: Just this week?
	♥ 11:38am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:38 I could never do that!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 you haven't done MovieTime in ages...
	♥ 11:39am DaveMiß: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" Isn’t that “Brill Cream”?
	♥ 11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 That's true.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @11:39 miss!!!
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 welll....... we're waiting....
	♥ 11:40am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:38 You are a singular source of information about my lost years in Hollywood clubs.
	♥ 11:41am Squints: Out for now. Family time, then pubs. Catch the rest on the replay. Next week, gang. Thanks, Michael, and thanks all of yah for bein' yah, theah.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @11:34 ?
	♥ 11:41am DaveMiß: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:40 Clarke! Tell ‘em about your lost years in Cape Cod clubs
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:34 Heh. No subtext. Lee Dorsey reflex. Sorry about that.
	♥ 11:42am egould: ↳ DaveMiß @11:41 Face down in a bowl of chowdah…
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:42 I almost never say that line without smiling.
	♥ 11:43am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:33 Hey there Greg!
	♥ 11:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Cl... Oh yes, yes yes!
	11:43am clarke: it looms large in me legend.
	♥ 11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:40 Caught Bye Bye Braverman on Criterion. Meh. Caught The Narrow Margin on tcm.com. Enjoyed it. Watched Paper Moon on 4K. Fantastic. Watched a wild Czech movie last night called The Mysterious Castle In The Carpathians which was pretty great.
	11:43am greg g: Really like that Underground DJ tune .Brings to mind the Apples in Stereo & Love Love!
	11:43am ptc: James Mastro plays tomorrow 4pm at Bernie’s Hillside Lounge in Chester NJ in a memorial for his brother who passed recently. Great roadhouse if you’ve never bee.
	♥ 11:44am DaveMiß: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Thanks for all the postcards, Michael!
	11:44am Listener Baby: If you go to the Love show, this one will blow ur mind. It did the same to me. Check them out if possible
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 latching onto Paper Moon, here! just did a re-watch and fuck - it is amazing, in EVERY way - STILL!!
	♥ 11:45am DaveMiß: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 Sounds like a stellar night
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ DaveMiß @11:45 Only the Czech film was last night. The rest was over the course of this past week.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 bogdanovich's films after Paper Moon were certainly disappointing. dangit!!
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Song: "Underground D.J." by "Baby Lemonade" big BL fan!
	♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: The gal in the black Jetta reminds me of the FMU version of the Suzanne Somers character in American Graffiti.
	♥ 11:48am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:47 Hard to maintain those early highs. But I'll once again mention that Saint Jack is fantastic.
	11:48am Brooklyn Clay: The dulcet tones of Eddie Stubbs!
	♥ 11:48am Franco Twinkie: My girlfriend at the time and I met Bryan McClean outside The Whisky a Go-Go. He was the sweetest guy ever.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:48 i need to see St. Jack!! not in hoboken.
	♥ 11:49am drr: ↳ clarke @11:47 I liked Saint Jack and They All Laughed. Daisy Miller I couldn't finish.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:48 i can concur - but, he was super-christian, too, at the same time.
	♥ 11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:48 Now that is a solid memory.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 yah.
	11:50am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Halfway Down" by "Jim Lauderdale" Man, they are booking!
	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Brooklyn Clay @11:48 YES!
	♥ 11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @11:49 The Cat's Meow from 2001 was pretty decent. Good cast, at least.
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 couldn't make it thru that one.
	11:52am Zabadak: I love that George Jones-ism he’s using for the chorus
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Song: "Que Vida!" by "Love" PoP!!!
	♥ 11:52am luca: gm ichibans
	♥ 11:53am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:52 🤷
	11:53am Paul: I saw Lauderdale and Love (with Arthur Lee) at the same venue in Chicago. Different nights. Zombies opened for Love.

	11:53am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 it's okay, i just fell asleep, ha ha.
	11:53am Michael Shelley: ALL THE SONG FROM MARTY STEWART SHOW: www.martystuart.com...

	♥ 11:54am Dano59: is there some kind of autocorrect glitch going on with "Stewart" for "Stuart"? (once a copy editor, always a copy editor)
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:52 Fritz Feld
	♥ 11:54am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:53 Haha, don't worry. I didn't take it personally.
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @11:50 yeah - wish audio was cleaner
	11:55am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:54 i had a Red Skelton revelation, last month. as a kid, i loved the skelton show, but never delved into the b&w films - which was MY loss!! they are brilliant.
	11:55am Mr. Jones: All telephone "Hold" music should be by Love. I'm signing an executive order now.
	♥ 11:55am egould: ↳ Song: "Que Vida!" by "Love" Shares some melody with ‘Why Am I Such A Misfit?’ From the Rudolph Christmas special.
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ Paul @11:53 Speaking of The Zombies: quadcinema.com...
	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:55 I'm not at all familiar with his work. I just know of him.
	♥ 11:57am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:25 the "transformation" never bothered me but like most kids in '77 (I was 17 and my broader taste was still forming) I was kind of sick of their ubiquity. I had a friend who loved them/the early records, we gave him sh-- for it - of course he was right all along
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 well, there is a treasure trove of Fun in front of thee.
	11:57am Paul: Thanks, Frank.
	♥ 11:57am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Live and Let Live" by "Love" Arthur Lee used "snot" as a lyric a few years before Ian Anderson did. Originator!
	11:57am Mr. Jones: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 Can't miss him, bright red nose.
	♥ 11:57am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:57 Added to "the list"
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:57 he was.
	♥ 11:58am StringOFperils: Crystallized snot is a pretty great song opener
	♥ 11:58am Frank In Queens: I still have not come around on the Bee Gees. Don't think it'll ever happen at this point.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:57 just go in order - imdb shall help thee.
	11:59am Mr. Jones: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 OOPS, wrong comment. Never Mind.
	♥ 11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ StringOFperils @11:58 I see it as the effect of LSD.
	♥ 12:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 It just really gets your attention....and then you have this great song
	12:00pm Spunky Monkey: NICE!
	♥ 12:00pm greg g: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 You're probably on to something there Hughie Considine.
	12:01pm Mr. Jones: ↳ StringOFperils @11:58 "Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room (A marvel to be seen, dysentery green)" F.Z.
	♥ 12:03pm StringOFperils: ↳ Mr. Jones @12:01 Did a booger-bear Come from somewhere out there....
	♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Live and Let Live" by "Love" My mom gave me Forever Changes for Christmas in 1967 when I was twelve years old. When I met Johnny Echols outside of Spaceland, I told him I would hear that guitar outro when I was closing my eyes for the last time.
	♥ 12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ StringOFperils @12:00 It definitely blew my mind the first time I heard it -- still does.
	12:05pm DG: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 I saw "Cat's Meow" also & liked it, then again I was familiar with the people involved, & the story. Used to write a column about famous scandals for a magazine, so I was interested to see how they handled it. Funny that the movie was released with little controversy, but the story I wrote was killed by the parent company (rhymes with Durst), because they were still worried about the fall-out or something; never got an explanation.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Mike Randle" seen Baby Lemonade three times - what great shows!
	♥ 12:06pm Frank In Queens: ↳ DG @12:05 Wow, even all those decades later....
	♥ 12:06pm Dano59: check out Tom Scharpling & Gary the Squirrel "dueting" on Nights on Broadway... soundcloud.com...
	♥ 12:06pm Franco Twinkie: Arthur was one strange cat!
	12:08pm Mr. Jones: Richard Thompson plays on the Nick Drake records? I did not know that. Makes sense.
	12:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Mike Randle" speaking The Truth, right here!
	12:09pm Mr. Jones: ↳ StringOFperils @12:03 most certainly, yes

	12:13pm boboboboplasticland milwWi..: cheese curds ....loveem
	♥ 12:13pm Frank In Queens: Chipotle is better. But Taco Bell is open later for those late night border runs.
	12:14pm Mr. Jones: The interviews have just hit a low point. Taco Bell bean burritos.
	12:14pm clarke: what's the difference between cheese curds and puteen??
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 to me, those are two different levels, there??
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:14 Yes, but both are "fast food".
	♥ 12:16pm Franco Twinkie: Haha!
	12:16pm Mr. Jones: Lee was a big Mathis fan. I heard he was crazy, there ya go!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 hmm.. the chipotle's in the south seem more like "sit down"?? i ain't never been.
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 Hmmm. I mean, they have seats up here too, but I wouldn't call it a "restaurant".
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:16 did bryan try to convert you??

	12:23pm clarke: the not-nice taco-makers must PAY!!!!!
	♥ 12:25pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Orange Skies" by "Love" In the summer of 1967, we would float on our backs in the swimming pool listening to Da Capo discussing how to make bombs with gas from welding tanks. The only time we would get out of the pool was to flip the record over(there was a record player on the patio)
	♥ 12:27pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Backofavan" by "Baby Lemonade" '90s power pop was great at cross-pollinating '70s radio & '60s influences

	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ StringOFperils @12:39 The fact that they support Joe Rogan is enough for me to stay away. But their fake AI music might be worse.

	♥ 11:02am Corey: Good morning Michael and listeners! Wanted to mention that we saw Robbie Fulks on Monday here in Traverse City, MI. Totally off the hook from start to finish. Show of the year! First heard Robbie on this show, which led to me, my wife, and my brother and sister law seeing a RF/Linda Gail Lewis show, which finally led to my brother in law putting on Monday’s show. So thanks, Michael, for kicking off that chain of events!
	11:03am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:02 i think that people are the greatest...
	♥ 11:03am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Alone Again Or" by "Love" YES!

	11:04am Listener Baby: UFO did this? No?
	♥ 11:04am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:02 The very next day, as it happens, a couple other regulars in my primary dive bar, for no reason at all, were at pains to remind me that I have a place there and that I'm one of them. They didn't have to do that. It's been a good week.
	♥ 11:05am Squints: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Would never have heard this number one if not for this show a few years back.
	11:06am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:04 excellence!!

	♥ 11:06am Frank In Queens: ↳ Listener Baby @11:04 Indeed!
	11:06am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" I think the original track is the Bee Gees best tune, Numero Uno. Am I right?
	11:06am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Would vote this track on the compilation LP
	♥ 11:07am Squints: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:06 Certainly the best of their funk awakening.
	11:07am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:06 i hope the mets didn't have an april like the O's.
	11:07am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:06 Is that a real thing?
	11:07am Bob Tankenstein: This rocks
	11:08am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:07 Only in my mind.
	♥ 11:08am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:07 Mets had a great April!
	11:08am clarke: is that tangible, sir?
	11:08am Mr. Jones: ↳ Listener Baby @11:08 :( May as well make it a boxed set then.

	♥ 11:10am JG: Midnight Special on youtube is such a treasure trove. will look for that Bee Gees
	♥ 11:11am Squints: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You Forever" by "Will Worden" A kind of but nae quite Gene Clark vibe here. Well, until the harpsichord.
	♥ 11:11am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:09 How have your guys been doing?
	11:11am Listener Baby: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:08 Hell yes. Complete with liner notes from the man himself. The stories are even better than the music.
	♥ 11:11am Hoboken Jack: Good morning Michael, BABY, Frank, Clarke, other Montclair Michael, all! The Damned played a terrific version of "Alone Again Or" the other night.
	11:11am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:11 we could be ranked #1 after this weekend - if it goes well - there's so much rain in the south, right now.
	♥ 11:12am Frank In Queens: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:11 Heya Jack
	11:12am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:11 howdy jack!

	♥ 11:13am egould: ↳ Song: "Nights On Broadway" by "Tripwires, The" Recorded about half a mile from my place. Morning, Michael and everyone.
	11:14am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:13 this year, it is not a great thing to be number one, ha ha. better to lurk.

	♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: Aw, Rex, that was my station ID! Wooooooooooooooo!
	♥ 11:16am Squints: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... Her life's a myst-I-re.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:16 mount hope?? are you insane??
	♥ 11:17am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:16 Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... What a wonderful malleable song

	♥ 11:18am Squints: ↳ Song: "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by "Barry Bi... Ya know, if a playlist of songs done like this were a bar playlist, that would be quite alright.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 fellow shamus!!
	♥ 11:19am JG: All number ones so far
	11:19am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:18 it's painful to go into a random bar, these days - you have to know the bartender slash music controller.
	♥ 11:19am egould: ↳ Song: "Get Out Of Denver" by "Furies" Summer of Seger!
	♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 Hey baby! I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
	♥ 11:20am drr: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:06 I'm a "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" man.
	♥ 11:20am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:19 BBC lets some of us run the Spotify sometimes. Sometimes.
	11:21am Moammar: No has ever gone from vital to lame as fast as Bob Seger.
	11:21am clarke: ↳ drr @11:20 quite the thuder-bumpers last nite.
	♥ 11:21am Franco Twinkie: Help me out here: Chresti and I saw Love at a club in Hollywood right after Arthur Lee got out of prison. Mike Randle was the lead guitar player and Exene Cervenka opened the show. It was the L.A. version of a New York City club. What the hell was it called?
	♥ 11:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:20 My 17-year-old self would cringe to hear me say that I too am such a man.
	♥ 11:21am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:18 Dos she, you know, go?
	11:22am Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @11:20 You're a tender fanny man, got it!
	♥ 11:22am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 Nah, Hughie. I loved that unashamedly even then.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:21 well, uhhh, yes she does go.
	♥ 11:23am Squints: ↳ Moammar @11:21 Yeah, by 1980, maybe even 1979, he'd become Middle-Aged Man in like a heartbeat.
	11:24am ?: Baby Lemonade is a song by Sid Barrett, former member of Pink Floyd. Wonder which came first?
	♥ 11:24am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:21 Luna Park?
	♥ 11:24am Franco Twinkie: Five String Serenade or Feathered Fish?
	♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:22 You were braver than I. It was the Disco Demolition era. A kid in my yearbook class had "Shoot the Bee Gees" as her yearbook quote.
	♥ 11:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:24 No, it was on Hollywood Blvd.
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:24 i, too, was horrified by the beegee's transformation - at the time.
	♥ 11:25am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:25 Raji’s? Raji’s II?
	♥ 11:25am Hughie Considine: Wes Anderson turned a lot of people onto Love.
	♥ 11:26am drr: ↳ JG @11:10 You are quite right about that. After band rehearsals a couple of us hang out and watch those. I particularly liked when Wilson Pickett was the host and he introduced "Spooky Tooth!!!!" He was clearly puzzled and amused by their name.
	♥ 11:27am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:25 For like a second, and only because I was hoping pressing the lever would get me more of the previous pellets. I got past it pretty quickly. Even SNF didn't push me totally off, however much it sanded off whatever edge was left. Sgt Pepper lost me, though. But much like the 1986 Mets, I got over it.
	♥ 11:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:25 No, but I did see Love at Raji's right before Arthur was sent up the river. Mike Randle was in that band too.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:27 still can't do the pepper - ouch.
	♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:25 Right, but you were a fan of the early records, whereas much of the high school mooks I knew were never fans to begin with. So the Bee Gees became the enemy because they were so ubiquitous.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Song: "I'm The One" by "Jake Worthington Featuring Marty... marty stuart was on TCM, last week, co-hosting a few of his movie picks. he was quite good.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 oh yeah - was TOTALLY into Odessa!!
	♥ 11:30am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:27 Today, you can’t see a rock show on Hollywood Blvd., but you can buy rock cocaine. Go figure.
	♥ 11:30am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:29 He tickles me with the way he says "BerMOOda."
	♥ 11:30am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:30 True that!
	♥ 11:31am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:21 Was it this gig?
	♥ 11:32am StringOFperils: love.torbenskott.dk...
	♥ 11:32am Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:28 Yeah. Similarly, in high school, because they were one of my brother's favorite bands, I was all "and we didn't play no Skynyrd, either." Then I went to college and shook myself by the damned shoulder. Buuba and I have frighteningly similar tastes. I think we're too alike to live together, though, let alone share a room.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:30 yah! ha ha.
	♥ 11:32am Hughie Considine: Oh man, Peter Wolf and Swamp Dogg should collaborate while there's still time.
	♥ 11:33am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	♥ 11:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:31 No, but I did see Roky Erickson there!
	11:34am Listener Baby: It’s the Decaf, Baby. Think about it.
	♥ 11:34am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:28 They along with Frampton were collateral damage in Sgt Pepper, which was going to be preposterous no matter who was cast.
	11:34am maureen: yes! we need a lee dorsey stamp! absolutely.
	♥ 11:34am Squints: ↳ Song: "Can You Hear Me?" by "Lee Dorsey" I'm so tired. How long can this go on.
	11:34am maureen: can I request "working in coal mine" ? it's such a classic! and the video is great!!!
	♥ 11:34am egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:33 Are you sure you didn’t just end up at Jumbo’s Clown Room?
	11:35am clarke: guys: idea: Shemp Stamp!! do it!!
	11:35am Listener Baby: ↳ Moammar @11:21 The Cars? Rod Stewart? Genesis? You are correct, but he has some company
	♥ 11:35am Squints: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" A yabba dabba do ya.
	♥ 11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Squints @11:32 I can still hear my brother dissing me when I put on certain records of a sensitive nature. Can be hard to shake off the mindset of that era.
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:33 tHE kNITTING fACTORY, LA version
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @11:34 That was another time! I was with a guy from Green on Red.
	♥ 11:36am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 YES!!!!!
	♥ 11:37am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:36 May 1. 2002
	11:37am Moammar: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" So, in this one. we'll just vamp for a few minutes and let Lee be Lee. Toss in the bari sax from "Ride Your Pony." Instant hit.
	♥ 11:37am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:37 Oh man, you are on the ball this morning!
	♥ 11:38am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 A little internet triangulation
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:37 i, on the other hand, am NOT
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: Just this week?
	♥ 11:38am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @11:38 I could never do that!
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:38 you haven't done MovieTime in ages...
	♥ 11:39am DaveMiß: ↳ Song: "A Little Dab A Do Ya" by "Lee Dorsey" Isn’t that “Brill Cream”?
	♥ 11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:39 That's true.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @11:39 miss!!!
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:39 welll....... we're waiting....
	♥ 11:40am Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @11:38 You are a singular source of information about my lost years in Hollywood clubs.
	♥ 11:41am Squints: Out for now. Family time, then pubs. Catch the rest on the replay. Next week, gang. Thanks, Michael, and thanks all of yah for bein' yah, theah.
	11:41am Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @11:34 ?
	♥ 11:41am DaveMiß: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:40 Clarke! Tell ‘em about your lost years in Cape Cod clubs
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:34 Heh. No subtext. Lee Dorsey reflex. Sorry about that.
	♥ 11:42am egould: ↳ DaveMiß @11:41 Face down in a bowl of chowdah…
	♥ 11:42am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:42 I almost never say that line without smiling.
	♥ 11:43am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:33 Hey there Greg!
	♥ 11:43am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Cl... Oh yes, yes yes!
	11:43am clarke: it looms large in me legend.
	♥ 11:43am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:40 Caught Bye Bye Braverman on Criterion. Meh. Caught The Narrow Margin on tcm.com. Enjoyed it. Watched Paper Moon on 4K. Fantastic. Watched a wild Czech movie last night called The Mysterious Castle In The Carpathians which was pretty great.
	11:43am greg g: Really like that Underground DJ tune .Brings to mind the Apples in Stereo & Love Love!
	11:43am ptc: James Mastro plays tomorrow 4pm at Bernie’s Hillside Lounge in Chester NJ in a memorial for his brother who passed recently. Great roadhouse if you’ve never bee.
	♥ 11:44am DaveMiß: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:41 Thanks for all the postcards, Michael!
	11:44am Listener Baby: If you go to the Love show, this one will blow ur mind. It did the same to me. Check them out if possible
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 latching onto Paper Moon, here! just did a re-watch and fuck - it is amazing, in EVERY way - STILL!!
	♥ 11:45am DaveMiß: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:43 Sounds like a stellar night
	♥ 11:46am Frank In Queens: ↳ DaveMiß @11:45 Only the Czech film was last night. The rest was over the course of this past week.
	11:47am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 bogdanovich's films after Paper Moon were certainly disappointing. dangit!!
	11:48am clarke: ↳ Song: "Underground D.J." by "Baby Lemonade" big BL fan!
	♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: The gal in the black Jetta reminds me of the FMU version of the Suzanne Somers character in American Graffiti.
	♥ 11:48am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:47 Hard to maintain those early highs. But I'll once again mention that Saint Jack is fantastic.
	11:48am Brooklyn Clay: The dulcet tones of Eddie Stubbs!
	♥ 11:48am Franco Twinkie: My girlfriend at the time and I met Bryan McClean outside The Whisky a Go-Go. He was the sweetest guy ever.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:48 i need to see St. Jack!! not in hoboken.
	♥ 11:49am drr: ↳ clarke @11:47 I liked Saint Jack and They All Laughed. Daisy Miller I couldn't finish.
	11:49am clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:48 i can concur - but, he was super-christian, too, at the same time.
	♥ 11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:48 Now that is a solid memory.
	11:50am clarke: ↳ drr @11:49 yah.

	11:50am Michael Shelley: ↳ Brooklyn Clay @11:48 YES!
	♥ 11:51am Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @11:49 The Cat's Meow from 2001 was pretty decent. Good cast, at least.

	11:52am Zabadak: I love that George Jones-ism he’s using for the chorus
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Song: "Que Vida!" by "Love" PoP!!!

	♥ 11:54am Dano59: is there some kind of autocorrect glitch going on with "Stewart" for "Stuart"? (once a copy editor, always a copy editor)
	11:54am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:52 Fritz Feld
	♥ 11:54am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:53 Haha, don't worry. I didn't take it personally.

	11:55am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:54 i had a Red Skelton revelation, last month. as a kid, i loved the skelton show, but never delved into the b&w films - which was MY loss!! they are brilliant.
	11:55am Mr. Jones: All telephone "Hold" music should be by Love. I'm signing an executive order now.
	♥ 11:55am egould: ↳ Song: "Que Vida!" by "Love" Shares some melody with ‘Why Am I Such A Misfit?’ From the Rudolph Christmas special.

	♥ 11:56am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:55 I'm not at all familiar with his work. I just know of him.
	♥ 11:57am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:25 the "transformation" never bothered me but like most kids in '77 (I was 17 and my broader taste was still forming) I was kind of sick of their ubiquity. I had a friend who loved them/the early records, we gave him sh-- for it - of course he was right all along
	11:57am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 well, there is a treasure trove of Fun in front of thee.
	11:57am Paul: Thanks, Frank.
	♥ 11:57am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Live and Let Live" by "Love" Arthur Lee used "snot" as a lyric a few years before Ian Anderson did. Originator!
	11:57am Mr. Jones: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 Can't miss him, bright red nose.
	♥ 11:57am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:57 Added to "the list"

	11:58am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:57 just go in order - imdb shall help thee.
	11:59am Mr. Jones: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:56 OOPS, wrong comment. Never Mind.
	♥ 11:59am Hughie Considine: ↳ StringOFperils @11:58 I see it as the effect of LSD.
	♥ 12:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:59 It just really gets your attention....and then you have this great song

	♥ 12:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Live and Let Live" by "Love" My mom gave me Forever Changes for Christmas in 1967 when I was twelve years old. When I met Johnny Echols outside of Spaceland, I told him I would hear that guitar outro when I was closing my eyes for the last time.
	♥ 12:04pm Hughie Considine: ↳ StringOFperils @12:00 It definitely blew my mind the first time I heard it -- still does.
	12:05pm DG: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:51 I saw "Cat's Meow" also & liked it, then again I was familiar with the people involved, & the story. Used to write a column about famous scandals for a magazine, so I was interested to see how they handled it. Funny that the movie was released with little controversy, but the story I wrote was killed by the parent company (rhymes with Durst), because they were still worried about the fall-out or something; never got an explanation.
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Mike Randle" seen Baby Lemonade three times - what great shows!

	12:13pm boboboboplasticland milwWi..: cheese curds ....loveem
	♥ 12:13pm Frank In Queens: Chipotle is better. But Taco Bell is open later for those late night border runs.
	12:14pm Mr. Jones: The interviews have just hit a low point. Taco Bell bean burritos.
	12:14pm clarke: what's the difference between cheese curds and puteen??
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:13 to me, those are two different levels, there??
	♥ 12:16pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:14 Yes, but both are "fast food".
	♥ 12:16pm Franco Twinkie: Haha!
	12:16pm Mr. Jones: Lee was a big Mathis fan. I heard he was crazy, there ya go!
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:16 hmm.. the chipotle's in the south seem more like "sit down"?? i ain't never been.
	♥ 12:17pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:16 Hmmm. I mean, they have seats up here too, but I wouldn't call it a "restaurant".
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:16 did bryan try to convert you??
	12:17pm ledzeppelinsucks: Seattle has piles of kick ass bands. Green River Thrillers and Old Dirty Buzzard jam.

	12:20pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Mike Randle" randle stole the handle!!
	♥ 12:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ clarke @12:17 No, I got the impression he kept his faith a private affair when he was talking to young fans.

	12:23pm Mr. Jones: ↳ StringOFperils @12:21 Honestly, I could too. Now having a bit of a crisis.
	12:23pm clarke: the not-nice taco-makers must PAY!!!!!
	♥ 12:25pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Orange Skies" by "Love" In the summer of 1967, we would float on our backs in the swimming pool listening to Da Capo discussing how to make bombs with gas from welding tanks. The only time we would get out of the pool was to flip the record over(there was a record player on the patio)
	♥ 12:27pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Backofavan" by "Baby Lemonade" '90s power pop was great at cross-pollinating '70s radio & '60s influences
	12:29pm Dan from Delco: Darn, the Philly show is tonight at Kung Fu Necktie, a very intimate venue. Sadly can’t make it.
	♥ 12:29pm StringOFperils: Jimmy Reed. There. I said it.

	♥ 12:30pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Baby Don't Look Down" by "Tiffany And The Thoughts" had me wondering if this was from the '60s or just what it was going for
	♥ 12:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Baby Don't Look Down" by "Tiffany And The Thoughts" The Thoughts had Peter Beckett as a guitarist. Wound up playing in The World Of Oz, a couple of one-off LA bands, and Australia's Little River Band.
	♥ 12:34pm Dano59: ↳ Song: "Ooh Child" by "Spinners, The" Michael!! this is killing me. Pretty broken up over Jill Sobule yet I haven't heard her acknowledged on FMU.
	12:36pm clarke: anyone wishing old radio: Antioch Broadcast Network - online streams all day and night.
	♥ 12:38pm WoodsOfMaine: Old Time Radio also at archive.org, away from the Spotify evil empire.
	12:38pm clarke: antioch: https://radio.macinmind.com/
	♥ 12:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:38 They're probably stitching AI old-time radio together down in the lab
	12:39pm clarke: gotta move some cord to Lyman...
	12:39pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:32 WOW - (Listener Baby LOVES LRB!)

	12:40pm Tonmcem: 'FMU proud: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich - "Join us for two hours of old time radio dramas, as we present four different pulp fiction stories, every week!"
	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ StringOFperils @12:39 The fact that they support Joe Rogan is enough for me to stay away. But their fake AI music might be worse.

	♥ 12:41pm luca: ↳ luca @12:40 vocalist from Cub iirc?

	♥ 12:50pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Monkees Theme" by "Floyd Cramer" When I was a kid (like 10) my folks took me to a concert that had Floyd Cramer, Boots Randolph, and Chet Atkins.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:48 al anderson was a HUGE fan of Married With Children - used to schedule the tour around that show; however, he had nothing to do with this version of Anna.
	12:50pm Listener Baby: First rate show Baby! Thanks. Super enjoyed
