Listener comments!
	9:04pm Peanut Gallery: Great to be here -- what's on TV?
	9:06pm -s-: Nailing it,Mike.Nail this train to the ground.
	9:10pm Peanut Gallery: Does the Alligator somehow trump the Swim and/or the Frog?
	9:14pm PB: I always loved George's very short-but-sweet guitar solos on the very early Beatles stuff.
	9:19pm Mike Sin: Hey folks! Thanks for tuning in!
	9:22pm PB: Good stuff, and all of it at least 45 years old.
	9:33pm Bill: Alright is not all right.
	9:35pm frenchee: you tell 'em, Bill!
	9:37pm frenchee: Hi PB, beg to differ: the Siberians only sound like it's 45 years old
	9:37pm Bill: A principal must live by principles.
	9:39pm PB: You're right, I thought it was mid-60s stuff that Mike forgot to post the year for. Turns out it was released this year. Sounds old but is a great track nonetheless.
	9:40pm PB: The Siberians also sounds like a classic mid-60s garage band name. Fooled me.
	9:42pm frenchee: and now we're creeping into the 90s, woo-hoo!
	9:58pm Bill: was this an iphone/ipod commercial song?
	9:59pm frenchee: gah! hope not, Bill
	10:10pm Matt from Springfield: Hi Mike! Hi Frenchee! Glad you're on!
	10:14pm frenchee: Hi Matt from Springfield!
	10:14pm Matt from Springfield: I've heard of Liz French before, didn't know she was the "frenchee" I see sometimes. @Mike: Is your microphone connected? I hope your "mic's in"! :D
	10:15pm Matt from Springfield: Hearty hello Frenchee! (all puns aside...) Love Optical Sound whenever it's on.
	10:16pm John: I hope you show up to work tomorrow. Good show Mikey!
	10:19pm Parq: Mike, sounding terrific! Every time you're on the air I get more knocked out. Heartfet Howdys to Frenchee -- and hey, I just finished dinner and I'm still wearing my Cherry Blossom Clinic apron!
	10:20pm Matt from Springfield: Terre's Cherries! Brings your cooking good luck, Parq!
	10:22pm Matt from Springfield: Ha ha, "In-Sect" as a band name!
	10:23pm frenchee: Go Parq GOOOOO! Cookin' w/Cherry-Terre!
	10:34pm Matt from Springfield: Great jangly rock from the Beat Buddies!
	10:39pm catherine: Mike, Your show is everything Bill Kelly's show used to be . You're my new fav.
	10:40pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, the DUTCH Beat Buddies! I like!
	10:43pm Lt. Palmer: My pants are the perfect length - just gracing the tops of my shoes.
	10:45pm Bill: Should we leave?
	10:47pm Adam in Portland: @bill, no.
	10:47pm Bill: you come up with best band names. Beethovens!
	10:57pm Matt from Springfield: Thought this had a very "Merseybeat" sound! Was this one the Epstein NEMS bands?
	10:58pm Parq: Frenchee the copy editor, did you hear they just said "Alls I need"?
	10:59pm Jeezy: Wow... Only ever knew the Get Happy version!
	11:00pm Bill: Did they do "Sorrow"? (question mark outside the quotes for Liz's benefit).
	11:00pm Matt from Springfield: THAI ROCK!! And a very faithful cover of "What'd I Say", considered the variations in some of their covers from that time.
	11:02pm frenchee: thanks for that, Bill (squirm). I had only heard the EC version too
	11:12pm Destroit: greetings, I got lost in CBN for a few hours. Good to hear you Mike.
	11:14pm Mike Sin: Well all right! Thanks for the comments! I'll try to answer some of questions on the air during a mike break.
	11:14pm Matt from Springfield: A Curt Boettcher Songbook? This Beth sounds EXTREMELY familiar--who originally did this song? I think Irwin in fact played an older version of this. That said, this is a nice version Mike!
	11:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey hey... Why-do-you-walk-likeadrunk-arddddd!!! Funny how that translation worked, more to fit Thai words into the original sound. (The Drunken Noodles will do that to you!)
	11:32pm Bill: I was out sick last night. I tried to get Mike Sin to fill in for me.
	11:34pm frenchee: whoa! how you did that?
	11:35pm Matt from Springfield: Sammy does a great cover of "Spinning Wheel"--considering the original was sung by Al Kooper, they have a similar style and it works out well here. (Although, I think this was the same album where Sammy sang "In The Ghetto"--NOT as good! Golden Throats material!)
	11:37pm Bill: Spinning Wheel? Al Kooper? Detention!
	11:38pm Bill: i am hurriedly checking to see if he might have done a demo.
	11:40pm G: @frenchee: There are various websites that have a box for flipping and inverting text. http://www.upsidedowntext.com/ and others...
	11:42pm frenchee: thanks G, I prefer to think it's hoodoo mojo magic!
	11:42pm G: that's fun, too :-)
	11:43pm Matt from Springfield: Gasp! Otis REDDING and Carla THOMAS??! I wouldn't have thunk it! Super-duet!!!
	11:56pm Bill: Thanks Mike and Liz. This was a great show and a lot of fun. Beats working.
	11:57pm frenchee: ciao Bill!
	11:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks for a wonderful show Mike and frenchee! See ya next time! Goodnight everyone!

	9:04pm Peanut Gallery: Great to be here -- what's on TV?
	9:06pm -s-: Nailing it,Mike.Nail this train to the ground.
	9:10pm Peanut Gallery: Does the Alligator somehow trump the Swim and/or the Frog?
	9:14pm PB: I always loved George's very short-but-sweet guitar solos on the very early Beatles stuff.
	9:19pm Mike Sin: Hey folks! Thanks for tuning in!
	9:22pm PB: Good stuff, and all of it at least 45 years old.
	9:33pm Bill: Alright is not all right.
	9:35pm frenchee: you tell 'em, Bill!
	9:37pm frenchee: Hi PB, beg to differ: the Siberians only sound like it's 45 years old
	9:37pm Bill: A principal must live by principles.
	9:39pm PB: You're right, I thought it was mid-60s stuff that Mike forgot to post the year for. Turns out it was released this year. Sounds old but is a great track nonetheless.
	9:40pm PB: The Siberians also sounds like a classic mid-60s garage band name. Fooled me.
	9:42pm frenchee: and now we're creeping into the 90s, woo-hoo!
	9:58pm Bill: was this an iphone/ipod commercial song?
	9:59pm frenchee: gah! hope not, Bill
	10:10pm Matt from Springfield: Hi Mike! Hi Frenchee! Glad you're on!
	10:14pm frenchee: Hi Matt from Springfield!
	10:14pm Matt from Springfield: I've heard of Liz French before, didn't know she was the "frenchee" I see sometimes. @Mike: Is your microphone connected? I hope your "mic's in"! :D
	10:15pm Matt from Springfield: Hearty hello Frenchee! (all puns aside...) Love Optical Sound whenever it's on.
	10:16pm John: I hope you show up to work tomorrow. Good show Mikey!
	10:19pm Parq: Mike, sounding terrific! Every time you're on the air I get more knocked out. Heartfet Howdys to Frenchee -- and hey, I just finished dinner and I'm still wearing my Cherry Blossom Clinic apron!
	10:20pm Matt from Springfield: Terre's Cherries! Brings your cooking good luck, Parq!
	10:22pm Matt from Springfield: Ha ha, "In-Sect" as a band name!
	10:23pm frenchee: Go Parq GOOOOO! Cookin' w/Cherry-Terre!
	10:34pm Matt from Springfield: Great jangly rock from the Beat Buddies!
	10:39pm catherine: Mike, Your show is everything Bill Kelly's show used to be . You're my new fav.
	10:40pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, the DUTCH Beat Buddies! I like!
	10:43pm Lt. Palmer: My pants are the perfect length - just gracing the tops of my shoes.
	10:45pm Bill: Should we leave?
	10:47pm Adam in Portland: @bill, no.
	10:47pm Bill: you come up with best band names. Beethovens!
	10:57pm Matt from Springfield: Thought this had a very "Merseybeat" sound! Was this one the Epstein NEMS bands?
	10:58pm Parq: Frenchee the copy editor, did you hear they just said "Alls I need"?
	10:59pm Jeezy: Wow... Only ever knew the Get Happy version!
	11:00pm Bill: Did they do "Sorrow"? (question mark outside the quotes for Liz's benefit).
	11:00pm Matt from Springfield: THAI ROCK!! And a very faithful cover of "What'd I Say", considered the variations in some of their covers from that time.
	11:02pm frenchee: thanks for that, Bill (squirm). I had only heard the EC version too
	11:12pm Destroit: greetings, I got lost in CBN for a few hours. Good to hear you Mike.
	11:14pm Mike Sin: Well all right! Thanks for the comments! I'll try to answer some of questions on the air during a mike break.
	11:14pm Matt from Springfield: A Curt Boettcher Songbook? This Beth sounds EXTREMELY familiar--who originally did this song? I think Irwin in fact played an older version of this. That said, this is a nice version Mike!
	11:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey hey... Why-do-you-walk-likeadrunk-arddddd!!! Funny how that translation worked, more to fit Thai words into the original sound. (The Drunken Noodles will do that to you!)
	11:32pm Bill: I was out sick last night. I tried to get Mike Sin to fill in for me.
	11:34pm frenchee: whoa! how you did that?
	11:35pm Matt from Springfield: Sammy does a great cover of "Spinning Wheel"--considering the original was sung by Al Kooper, they have a similar style and it works out well here. (Although, I think this was the same album where Sammy sang "In The Ghetto"--NOT as good! Golden Throats material!)
	11:37pm Bill: Spinning Wheel? Al Kooper? Detention!
	11:38pm Bill: i am hurriedly checking to see if he might have done a demo.
	11:40pm G: @frenchee: There are various websites that have a box for flipping and inverting text. http://www.upsidedowntext.com/ and others...
	11:42pm frenchee: thanks G, I prefer to think it's hoodoo mojo magic!
	11:42pm G: that's fun, too :-)
	11:43pm Matt from Springfield: Gasp! Otis REDDING and Carla THOMAS??! I wouldn't have thunk it! Super-duet!!!
	11:56pm Bill: Thanks Mike and Liz. This was a great show and a lot of fun. Beats working.
	11:57pm frenchee: ciao Bill!
	11:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks for a wonderful show Mike and frenchee! See ya next time! Goodnight everyone!
