Listener comments!
	7:05pm Sean Daily: First comment! Woo hoo!
	7:07pm Sean Daily: "And when we say hammer, let's bury a claw hammer in our little sister's forehead! Don't forget to tell mommy that the voices made you do it."
	7:08pm Sean Daily: "And then I tie the other end of my scarf to the chandelier and make sure the knot's right under my left ear, and then I JUMP off the dining room table!"
	7:10pm Sean Daily: "And then I wrap my scarf around Dolly's neck and I pull it tighter and tighter and TIGHTER and I LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH AND..."
	8:07am Mark: What is the name of the background music of your announcement?
	8:13am Mark: By the way, do you have the 78rpm record called "Nina-Non" sung by Joni James(Released from MGM)? I have it, but it is so worn out so I can't listen it.
	1:18pm Joe M.: Hi, Mark-- The music I've been using lately is "Swaltzing with Faust" by Fats Waller. You can find it on a collection called "Fine Arabian Stuff" that came out on HighNote Records a few years ago. I think it's fairly available. The rest of the CD is good, too, Fats mostly doing public domain tunes at a 1939 session. Unfortunately, I don't have any Joni James records, so I can't help you out there. Thanks for listening!
	4:33am Denis Murrell: Enjoyed 'Don't Call Me Coach, Call Me George'. The Beachcombers were a big Las Vegas live band in the fifties. Have no idea who the lady singing with them was. That record was played on Australian radio in 1953. Now, here's a record I haven't heard since 1957 [or 58]... 'Boppin' In a Sack' by The Lane Brothers [RCA]. Do you think I might be able to hear it one night on your show? A real rarity if ever there was one.
