Listener comments!
	11:18pm phat: Nice. This fun company track is a bit of a ripoff of a couple of things, but it's sweet. That Ambrosia track was nice to hear, too.
	11:39pm home slice: You better fire someone over that bum CD-R.
	11:49pm na cho cheese: From the Report-Times, Morgan County's Award Winning News Site in Martinsville, IN Martinsville Lions Club welcomes District Governor, Evan Main ...An added special guest was master Evan Main. Evan is the son Jeff and Joy Main. Evan is an accomplished pianist and played both classical and jazz pieces. When asked by Charles Horrell how long he had been playing, Evan responded 3 years. Evan is now 10. Everyone marveled at the talent of someone so young. The Noon Lions hope to have Evan back as a guest in the future.
	11:54pm John: more mayonnaise
	12:35am bret: Great to here this. I worked at JAM productions editing radio ID's and cd's like this. JAM is what PAMS became in the 80's. Great studio in Pleasant Grove, outside Dallas. This jingle house defined Radio ID for the nation back in the day. I worked a Syndicated Radio Interview with KISS from that studio about 8 years ago. Tried to get into writing, but that was very weird. They are still making old-school vocal harmony spots to this day. Anyway, great to hear! Good Show..
	12:50am dust bunny: That is a great story about Elvis, did they have pre-written death bios back then? That must have been fun to work with a teletype machine. I know when Elvis died it was the late 70s, but you seem like you would have made a great radio apprentice in the 50s.
	12:50am efd: Bret (and listener Tom who called in about the jingles), you may also want to check out the episode of Aircheck I put together a couple of summers ago -- go to http://wfmu.org/playlists/AC and scroll down to the show from Aug 18 2005. It's an hour of jingles from PAMS, TM, and a few of the other production houses from the 60s and 70s.
	2:35pm joe nathan: ah, yes...WIL jingles--from back when you could listen to WIL and not want to throw up. anyhow, thanks for those jingles!!
	5:14pm Surabaya Jackie: Evan, theres a nice alt. version of "Bomber" on the new FACTUMS 7" EP on Pollymaggoo

Wed. Dec 18th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!
Wed. Dec 25th, Noon - 3pm: The 18th Annual Holiday Music Funktacular! (More info...)
It’s the 18th year of the Evan “Funk” Davies Show Holiday Music Funktacular, and this year — for the first time ever — it will air on actual Christmas Day! Tune in for three hours of Christmas music that you won’t already be sick of hearing: old and new seasonal rock, punk, dance, glam, and power pop favorites. Even your family might enjoy it!
