	9:16am Joe McG: Hey, Frenchee! Hope you can stand another cup of "Joe" this great gettin'-up mornin'.
	9:17am Jeezy: Hopefully I don't boil to death, Joe!
	9:19am Mike East: off to the bus. catch y'all later. Today is my Friday...finally! Love the start today, Joe!
	9:19am Joe McG: I had a bowl of Trader Joe's granola with mango before the show.
	9:20am Looms: Hi! It's really nice to listen to the show in the daytime, while sunbathing after lunch.
	9:23am Joe McG: Hey, Looms! Nice to see you at this odd hour.
	👻 9:25am tim from champaign: Hey all. Buddy Hackett sure has a pleasant voice.
	9:27am doca: good morning you all, i didn't knew that monica's show would be airing on thursday morning.
	9:27am Joe McG: @tim: Ha!
	9:27am Glenn M: good morning!
	9:28am Joe McG: @doca: I play stuff like this often. Check out my archives.
	9:30am doca: @Joe: I'm kidding, but I haven't listened to your show before it came to Faye's slot, so I'll check. I love those oldies and I just filled a star for your show.
	9:32am Joe McG: @doca: No worries! Thanks, man! @glenn: Hey, Glenn!
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Hello Joe, still not quite accustomed to you at this hour. Hey any hour is a good hour. Orchestre Poly etc are a must see live.
	9:43am Joe McG: @Brian: Hey there! I agree, any hour is a good hour. Happy you could tune in. What's the UK like today? Here it is bloody hot.
	👻 9:45am Brian in UK: They can play any style from this kind of Afrobeat to soul, jazz, funk. Brass section as crisp as a nuns kimono. Joe, when I got in the car yesterday around one PM the temp read 40c. Ouch.
	9:46am KP: UK twitter friends moaning. It has hit the mid 70s.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Trouble is the lack of breeze. Still as a Florida senators brain.
	9:48am Joe McG: So the UK is apparently feeling the same Florida love as we are?
	👻 9:49am tim from champaign: Whoa, groovy prog/fusion breakdown.
	9:50am KP: Scottish friend who is a teacher told me she was off for holiday. I said, there's school in summer? She said, Scotland has no summer.
	9:52am Joe McG: Does Scotland really have no summer? This I did not know!
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe I was stunned when I heard that 'Stand you ground' was legal with six weeks afore any procescution. Boggling, it has to be reversed. It sends out such a bad message.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: @KP when the sun shines in Scotland there is no place finer. Don't happen that often though.
	9:54am Cecile: Hola, all! It's so hot today that I almost tripped over a pigeon. Now the birds in St. Paul are fat and overfed, but they can still book it when they hear a human behind them. This one was staggering! I don't blame him. Whew.
	9:55am mrmucho: This is a great track
	9:56am Cecile: Brian, there is legislation on the books in Texas where you can be aquitted if you murder someone and it's determined by the court that "they needed killin'". My friend's aunt got off scot-free because of that.
	9:56am Cecile: She's like the jazz version of Millie Jackson here.
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: St Germains 'Rose Rouge' samples Marlena Shaw. Great track. Relentless.
	10:00am Meghan.: Loving this!
	10:01am Michael Shelley: Best song ever.
	10:01am duke: This is great.
	10:01am Joe McG: @Ms: Many great songs on your premium this year, Michael, but this one is beyond.
	10:02am Cecile: hahahahahahah awesome.
	👻 10:02am tim from champaign: Texas is such a confounding place. I lived in Lubbock for 9 months and I experienced so much culture shock. People seemed to fearful. There was a woman in my neighborhood who walked a big ass german shepherd and carried an axe handle. So weird.
	10:03am Roberto: Best FMU station ID delivery I've ever heard!
	10:03am Van in DC: Hi Joe
	10:04am Cecile: Nice! Shoulda been a better hit than Juice's. I always like Misty Blue, great ballad.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: @Cecile 'they needed killin' Those three words put together just rip me apart. Is this the f...ing mafia.
	10:04am Joe McG: Hey, Roberto, hey Van! I've been practicing for days, Roberto! Hey, Cecile!
	10:05am Cecile: I will visit Texas but I imagine that place would eat me alive if I lived there.
	10:05am Van in DC: Still trying to get back to my home state of Texas!
	10:05am Roberto: You NAILED it bro.
	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: @Roberto nitrous Oxide would do it for me.
	10:06am glenn: merrilee rush's version is still the gold standard.
	10:06am glenn: chip taylor is a very "interesting" guy.
	10:07am Cecile: Brian, Texas is something unto itself. My husband thinks they should have just split off and become their own republic. Now, that's extreme. That place has contributed so much to American culture and prosperity, but they do everything bigger. Even the bad stuff.
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: Do not care who does it as long as Chip Taylor gets the cheques (checks)
	10:07am βrian: Lubbock even sounds strange. It's got to be an onomatopoeia, but for what?
	10:07am Cecile: glenn, absolutely, but this is a nice take on it.
	10:07am Van in DC: We WERE our own republic, once.
	10:09am Cecile: I know! My husband thinks it should have stayed that way. Historian humor, I guess.
	👻 10:09am Brian in UK: Like Terry Allen's record Lubbock on Everything. Nice one Joe, just bought this ALBUM been waiting twenty years or so.
	👻 10:10am tim from champaign: Austin's cool and there's lots of great natural areas. Lubbock was a really weird place. It was extremely insular and indoctrinated. My wife and I had jaw dropping, forehead smacking interactions with Lubbockites at least once a week.
	10:10am glenn: i LUV lubbock on everything.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Chip Taylor is a real gent. Dying breed.
	10:12am Joe McG: @Brian: Apparently quite the gambler, too, I understand.
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: He has The Jordanaires singing backup, stunning not on this though. He made his living at the track.
	10:13am Cecile: I love Lubbock on Anything, too. "He was the pride of the backfield"
	10:13am glenn: and angelina jolie's uncle.
	10:13am Liz B.: Morning Joe and everyone else! Somehow the twang is working well with this heat!
	👻 10:13am tim from champaign: good one glenn. Here's a perfect example of Lubbock... in the city magazine a headline of an article stated "Reading Is Not Just For Children Anymore".
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: 'Till they banned him.
	10:14am mrmucho: Wow, nice tie-in Joe.
	10:14am Joe McG: Hey, Liz! Twangfest!
	👻 10:15am Brian in UK: You'll be playing cow punk next!!
	10:16am Larry: Hello Joe - Do you keep song titles on file? Keep doing a good show.
	10:16am βrian: Ah, I was just on a John Prine jag recently.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! I always tell the (true) story that the time I played an hour of cowpunk the comments board died COMPLETELY. The only time that ever happened!
	👻 10:17am Brian in UK: @Joe is this the album with some Terence Boylan on it?
	10:19am Joe McG: @Larry: No, not really, Larry. This is kind of a song by association thing that I usually do. Right now we seem to be exploring the RCA records catalog circa 1972!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: It is normally live sets that do that. It was two in the morning to be fair.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Nope, I think that's a different one. Don't see Mr. Boylan on the credits.
	10:22am mrmucho: that one sounded pretty Dynaflex-y
	10:23am Joe McG: @mrmucho: Man oh man, was it ever! I can play frisbee with this fucker.
	10:23am βrian: Michael Nesmith! Where's my knit cap?
	10:24am Joe McG: @Brian: You mean your cowboy hat.
	👻 10:25am tim from champaign: Joe, are your early 70s RCA records Dynaflex?
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: 1976-77 were awful years for vinyl quality. They arrived pre-scratched and jumping. I had a John Stewart album like that on RCA funnily enough. When I heard it years later without the hisses and bumps, I did not recognise it.
	10:25am KP: The Nez!
	10:26am Joe McG: @tim: A bunch of them are. My Nilsson records are pretty flappy from that era.
	👻 10:27am tim from champaign: Flappy is a great descriptor. My Lou Reed and Bowie records are mighty flappy too.
	10:29am Dave E: good thing for CD's!
	10:30am KP: Brian you are right. i always felt they did that to usher i CDs. They came in in the 80s. i bought a Bangles album that skipped, broke it, bought a Cd player.
	10:30am Listener Alexandra: That set could not have been more awesome. Thanks, Joe!
	10:32am Dave E: I would love to see them release "albums" on memory sticks.
	10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Listener Alexandra! Much fun!
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Cannot see any reedeeming features for CDs over albums Lost artwork Lost sound quality (alright poor pressings but the principle is there) Hard to read Convenient in size is not a good enough reason, this had lead to mp3s and even worse quality. Plus point the rise of the compilation.
	10:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Do you work for Neil Young?
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Joe are you covering Doug's show this week. I missed the last voice break. Did you give a station ID like Mickey?
	10:39am Dave E: They are more fun to throw?
	10:39am Yair Yona: Save me Joe from the last hour in the office and play me an Ike and Tina song.
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Ah yes PONO. He has this little device on the machine that lets you compare with mp3s and CDS whilst listening. That's confidence. Who is to say he is wrong?
	10:41am Carmichael: Yo, Joe! I'm chomping granola bars and drinking tea. I bought 4 different albums of ELP's Trilogy. Each was worse than the last: hissing and crackling. Well Chicka Boom, it's Daddy Dewdrop!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Yair: Oh, man, normally I would, but I'm in my 45 thing now, and then I'm playing an interview for an hour. Next time! @Brian: Yes, I'm going to be on for Doug tomorrow, so if you haven't had enough of this nonsense, I'll be back. And no, I love Neil dearly.
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: I think Weld was one of the last new albums I bought.
	10:47am Cecile: New albums are pretty great - carefully pressed and 180 gram vinyl. Unfortunately, where I shop, unless they are in horrible shape, all sales tend to be final. Probably that's why they are careful.
	👻 10:51am tim from champaign: Wow, Charlie Daniels is boogeying hard!
	10:52am trish: Glad to be listening this too-damn-hot Thursday. (Cooler weather for NE N. America moving in on Sat.)
	10:53am Carmichael: Yay, Mike Scott!
	10:53am KP: it would be great if CDs sounded as good as Lps but convenience is king.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, Trish! I'm so happy because WFMU is so nice and cool. I don't have AC at home.
	10:53am Cecile: If they were limited to 3 minute uptempo singles, the waterboys would be amazing. Unfortunately, they and their fans love those 9 minute ballads.
	10:54am Cecile: Sorry, Carm. hahahaha.
	10:54am KP: I think Im going to Waterboys tomorrow (fair warning).
	10:55am glenn: i flat out refuse to pay thirty bucks for a vinyl record. it could be pressed by naked buxom virgins during an eclipse and i still wouldn't pay it.
	10:55am Carmichael: I know that's a 45, but it's from This is the Sea.
	10:56am Cecile: I like Medicine Bow and Be My Enemy. Great songs.
	10:57am KP: i would pay 30 bucks for an Lp if it came with someone to turn it over me, put on the next one and repeat process in car.
	11:03am Joe McG: Oops, "Windy" is 1968.
	11:06am Van in DC: Ha ha, at a local BWW, I always play Wendy, or just whistle it, around a server named Wendy...cute young girl and she had no idea about the song, but she loves it
	11:08am Van in DC: ERR, sorry, Windy
	11:09am Carmichael: Van, you used to work at Wendy's?
	11:10am Van in DC: haha :)
	11:14am Van in DC: Okay, now somebody can link this show's archive link to the Wiki page for Windy...
	11:14am rsj: joe, maybe put the phone closer to the mic?
	11:15am Joe McG: @rsj: Yeah, sorry, rsj, I've got it as loud as it can go. Cell phones!
	11:19am Carmichael: Joe, can you ask her about the movie Peace Killers? She wrote the music.
	11:19am common: man. this is good! I know where broadcast got some of their sound now.
	11:20am don: Thank you for this interview with Ruthann. Talented person. Would be great to get her back East for some shows.
	11:20am Van in DC: and sang it apparently
	11:31am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying the interview, guys. Super great lady!
	11:33am Van in DC: Very much so! Thanks for bringing it to us Joe!
	11:36am trish: I didn't know that one. Nice stereo in the earbuds.
	11:36am scott damon: We want Ruthann in NY......right? sullivan hall maybe!!
	👻 11:42am tim from champaign: great interview, Joe. I was not aware of Ruthann previously. Her music is so rich sounding.
	11:43am Cecile: Carly Simon was always kind of square to me.
	11:44am Cheri Pi: I've always liked this lady.
	11:44am Van in DC: Irene played one of her tracks just this week, and that was the first time I remember hearing her.
	11:45am scott damon: Ruthann Friedman -Hurried life I'm Askin' is my fav!
	11:48am Dominick: Thanks for this Joe
	11:48am Joe McG: @scott: That's a really nice one. I had a hard time choosing tracks to put between the interview parts, so I just chose a few favorites.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Dominick: It was my pleasure, believe me!
	11:52am northguineahills: Thanks Joe, this was awesome!
	11:54am Joe McG: Glad you guys liked the interview! I hope she can come east, too.
	👻 11:55am 12539: Great interview, Joe! You're a natural.
	11:56am Joe McG: Oh, and thanks for listening, everybody. I won't be here next week, but good news: Our good friend Jason Sigal will be back in this chair! See you in two!
	11:56am Cecile: Ha! I find as I get older myself, I'm a lot less sentimental about the past, too.
	11:56am Cecile: Oh, awesome, Joe. We'll miss you, but Jason does great shows.
	11:56am Van in DC: Nicely done Joe!
	11:58am glenn: now how about an interview with kinky friedman? the kinkstah!
	1:18pm Van in DC: Ha. I still can't get "Windy" out of my head.
	4:23pm Jay S: I get chills when Ruthann Friedman starts singing "Windy."

	9:30am doca: @Joe: I'm kidding, but I haven't listened to your show before it came to Faye's slot, so I'll check. I love those oldies and I just filled a star for your show.
	9:32am Joe McG: @doca: No worries! Thanks, man! @glenn: Hey, Glenn!
	👻 9:40am Brian in UK: Hello Joe, still not quite accustomed to you at this hour. Hey any hour is a good hour. Orchestre Poly etc are a must see live.
	9:43am Joe McG: @Brian: Hey there! I agree, any hour is a good hour. Happy you could tune in. What's the UK like today? Here it is bloody hot.
	👻 9:45am Brian in UK: They can play any style from this kind of Afrobeat to soul, jazz, funk. Brass section as crisp as a nuns kimono. Joe, when I got in the car yesterday around one PM the temp read 40c. Ouch.
	9:46am KP: UK twitter friends moaning. It has hit the mid 70s.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Trouble is the lack of breeze. Still as a Florida senators brain.
	9:48am Joe McG: So the UK is apparently feeling the same Florida love as we are?
	👻 9:49am tim from champaign: Whoa, groovy prog/fusion breakdown.
	9:50am KP: Scottish friend who is a teacher told me she was off for holiday. I said, there's school in summer? She said, Scotland has no summer.
	9:52am Joe McG: Does Scotland really have no summer? This I did not know!
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe I was stunned when I heard that 'Stand you ground' was legal with six weeks afore any procescution. Boggling, it has to be reversed. It sends out such a bad message.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: @KP when the sun shines in Scotland there is no place finer. Don't happen that often though.
	9:54am Cecile: Hola, all! It's so hot today that I almost tripped over a pigeon. Now the birds in St. Paul are fat and overfed, but they can still book it when they hear a human behind them. This one was staggering! I don't blame him. Whew.
	9:55am mrmucho: This is a great track
	9:56am Cecile: Brian, there is legislation on the books in Texas where you can be aquitted if you murder someone and it's determined by the court that "they needed killin'". My friend's aunt got off scot-free because of that.
	9:56am Cecile: She's like the jazz version of Millie Jackson here.
	👻 10:00am Brian in UK: St Germains 'Rose Rouge' samples Marlena Shaw. Great track. Relentless.
	10:00am Meghan.: Loving this!
	10:01am Michael Shelley: Best song ever.
	10:01am duke: This is great.
	10:01am Joe McG: @Ms: Many great songs on your premium this year, Michael, but this one is beyond.
	10:02am Cecile: hahahahahahah awesome.
	👻 10:02am tim from champaign: Texas is such a confounding place. I lived in Lubbock for 9 months and I experienced so much culture shock. People seemed to fearful. There was a woman in my neighborhood who walked a big ass german shepherd and carried an axe handle. So weird.
	10:03am Roberto: Best FMU station ID delivery I've ever heard!
	10:03am Van in DC: Hi Joe
	10:04am Cecile: Nice! Shoulda been a better hit than Juice's. I always like Misty Blue, great ballad.
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: @Cecile 'they needed killin' Those three words put together just rip me apart. Is this the f...ing mafia.
	10:04am Joe McG: Hey, Roberto, hey Van! I've been practicing for days, Roberto! Hey, Cecile!
	10:05am Cecile: I will visit Texas but I imagine that place would eat me alive if I lived there.
	10:05am Van in DC: Still trying to get back to my home state of Texas!
	10:05am Roberto: You NAILED it bro.
	👻 10:05am Brian in UK: @Roberto nitrous Oxide would do it for me.
	10:06am glenn: merrilee rush's version is still the gold standard.
	10:06am glenn: chip taylor is a very "interesting" guy.
	10:07am Cecile: Brian, Texas is something unto itself. My husband thinks they should have just split off and become their own republic. Now, that's extreme. That place has contributed so much to American culture and prosperity, but they do everything bigger. Even the bad stuff.
	👻 10:07am Brian in UK: Do not care who does it as long as Chip Taylor gets the cheques (checks)
	10:07am βrian: Lubbock even sounds strange. It's got to be an onomatopoeia, but for what?
	10:07am Cecile: glenn, absolutely, but this is a nice take on it.
	10:07am Van in DC: We WERE our own republic, once.
	10:09am Cecile: I know! My husband thinks it should have stayed that way. Historian humor, I guess.
	👻 10:09am Brian in UK: Like Terry Allen's record Lubbock on Everything. Nice one Joe, just bought this ALBUM been waiting twenty years or so.
	👻 10:10am tim from champaign: Austin's cool and there's lots of great natural areas. Lubbock was a really weird place. It was extremely insular and indoctrinated. My wife and I had jaw dropping, forehead smacking interactions with Lubbockites at least once a week.
	10:10am glenn: i LUV lubbock on everything.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Chip Taylor is a real gent. Dying breed.
	10:12am Joe McG: @Brian: Apparently quite the gambler, too, I understand.
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: He has The Jordanaires singing backup, stunning not on this though. He made his living at the track.
	10:13am Cecile: I love Lubbock on Anything, too. "He was the pride of the backfield"
	10:13am glenn: and angelina jolie's uncle.
	10:13am Liz B.: Morning Joe and everyone else! Somehow the twang is working well with this heat!
	👻 10:13am tim from champaign: good one glenn. Here's a perfect example of Lubbock... in the city magazine a headline of an article stated "Reading Is Not Just For Children Anymore".
	👻 10:13am Brian in UK: 'Till they banned him.
	10:14am mrmucho: Wow, nice tie-in Joe.
	10:14am Joe McG: Hey, Liz! Twangfest!
	👻 10:15am Brian in UK: You'll be playing cow punk next!!
	10:16am Larry: Hello Joe - Do you keep song titles on file? Keep doing a good show.
	10:16am βrian: Ah, I was just on a John Prine jag recently.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! I always tell the (true) story that the time I played an hour of cowpunk the comments board died COMPLETELY. The only time that ever happened!
	👻 10:17am Brian in UK: @Joe is this the album with some Terence Boylan on it?
	10:19am Joe McG: @Larry: No, not really, Larry. This is kind of a song by association thing that I usually do. Right now we seem to be exploring the RCA records catalog circa 1972!
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: It is normally live sets that do that. It was two in the morning to be fair.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Nope, I think that's a different one. Don't see Mr. Boylan on the credits.
	10:22am mrmucho: that one sounded pretty Dynaflex-y
	10:23am Joe McG: @mrmucho: Man oh man, was it ever! I can play frisbee with this fucker.
	10:23am βrian: Michael Nesmith! Where's my knit cap?
	10:24am Joe McG: @Brian: You mean your cowboy hat.
	👻 10:25am tim from champaign: Joe, are your early 70s RCA records Dynaflex?
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: 1976-77 were awful years for vinyl quality. They arrived pre-scratched and jumping. I had a John Stewart album like that on RCA funnily enough. When I heard it years later without the hisses and bumps, I did not recognise it.
	10:25am KP: The Nez!
	10:26am Joe McG: @tim: A bunch of them are. My Nilsson records are pretty flappy from that era.
	👻 10:27am tim from champaign: Flappy is a great descriptor. My Lou Reed and Bowie records are mighty flappy too.
	10:29am Dave E: good thing for CD's!
	10:30am KP: Brian you are right. i always felt they did that to usher i CDs. They came in in the 80s. i bought a Bangles album that skipped, broke it, bought a Cd player.
	10:30am Listener Alexandra: That set could not have been more awesome. Thanks, Joe!
	10:32am Dave E: I would love to see them release "albums" on memory sticks.
	10:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Listener Alexandra! Much fun!
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Cannot see any reedeeming features for CDs over albums Lost artwork Lost sound quality (alright poor pressings but the principle is there) Hard to read Convenient in size is not a good enough reason, this had lead to mp3s and even worse quality. Plus point the rise of the compilation.
	10:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Do you work for Neil Young?
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: Joe are you covering Doug's show this week. I missed the last voice break. Did you give a station ID like Mickey?
	10:39am Dave E: They are more fun to throw?
	10:39am Yair Yona: Save me Joe from the last hour in the office and play me an Ike and Tina song.
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Ah yes PONO. He has this little device on the machine that lets you compare with mp3s and CDS whilst listening. That's confidence. Who is to say he is wrong?
	10:41am Carmichael: Yo, Joe! I'm chomping granola bars and drinking tea. I bought 4 different albums of ELP's Trilogy. Each was worse than the last: hissing and crackling. Well Chicka Boom, it's Daddy Dewdrop!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Yair: Oh, man, normally I would, but I'm in my 45 thing now, and then I'm playing an interview for an hour. Next time! @Brian: Yes, I'm going to be on for Doug tomorrow, so if you haven't had enough of this nonsense, I'll be back. And no, I love Neil dearly.
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: I think Weld was one of the last new albums I bought.
	10:47am Cecile: New albums are pretty great - carefully pressed and 180 gram vinyl. Unfortunately, where I shop, unless they are in horrible shape, all sales tend to be final. Probably that's why they are careful.
	👻 10:51am tim from champaign: Wow, Charlie Daniels is boogeying hard!
	10:52am trish: Glad to be listening this too-damn-hot Thursday. (Cooler weather for NE N. America moving in on Sat.)
	10:53am Carmichael: Yay, Mike Scott!
	10:53am KP: it would be great if CDs sounded as good as Lps but convenience is king.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks for tuning in, Trish! I'm so happy because WFMU is so nice and cool. I don't have AC at home.
	10:53am Cecile: If they were limited to 3 minute uptempo singles, the waterboys would be amazing. Unfortunately, they and their fans love those 9 minute ballads.
	10:54am Cecile: Sorry, Carm. hahahaha.
	10:54am KP: I think Im going to Waterboys tomorrow (fair warning).
	10:55am glenn: i flat out refuse to pay thirty bucks for a vinyl record. it could be pressed by naked buxom virgins during an eclipse and i still wouldn't pay it.
	10:55am Carmichael: I know that's a 45, but it's from This is the Sea.
	10:56am Cecile: I like Medicine Bow and Be My Enemy. Great songs.
	10:57am KP: i would pay 30 bucks for an Lp if it came with someone to turn it over me, put on the next one and repeat process in car.
	11:03am Joe McG: Oops, "Windy" is 1968.
	11:06am Van in DC: Ha ha, at a local BWW, I always play Wendy, or just whistle it, around a server named Wendy...cute young girl and she had no idea about the song, but she loves it
	11:08am Van in DC: ERR, sorry, Windy
	11:09am Carmichael: Van, you used to work at Wendy's?
	11:10am Van in DC: haha :)
	11:14am Van in DC: Okay, now somebody can link this show's archive link to the Wiki page for Windy...
	11:14am rsj: joe, maybe put the phone closer to the mic?
	11:15am Joe McG: @rsj: Yeah, sorry, rsj, I've got it as loud as it can go. Cell phones!
	11:19am Carmichael: Joe, can you ask her about the movie Peace Killers? She wrote the music.
	11:19am common: man. this is good! I know where broadcast got some of their sound now.
	11:20am don: Thank you for this interview with Ruthann. Talented person. Would be great to get her back East for some shows.
	11:20am Van in DC: and sang it apparently
	11:31am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying the interview, guys. Super great lady!
	11:33am Van in DC: Very much so! Thanks for bringing it to us Joe!
	11:36am trish: I didn't know that one. Nice stereo in the earbuds.
	11:36am scott damon: We want Ruthann in NY......right? sullivan hall maybe!!
	👻 11:42am tim from champaign: great interview, Joe. I was not aware of Ruthann previously. Her music is so rich sounding.
	11:43am Cecile: Carly Simon was always kind of square to me.
	11:44am Cheri Pi: I've always liked this lady.
	11:44am Van in DC: Irene played one of her tracks just this week, and that was the first time I remember hearing her.
	11:45am scott damon: Ruthann Friedman -Hurried life I'm Askin' is my fav!
	11:48am Dominick: Thanks for this Joe
	11:48am Joe McG: @scott: That's a really nice one. I had a hard time choosing tracks to put between the interview parts, so I just chose a few favorites.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Dominick: It was my pleasure, believe me!
	11:52am northguineahills: Thanks Joe, this was awesome!
	11:54am Joe McG: Glad you guys liked the interview! I hope she can come east, too.
	👻 11:55am 12539: Great interview, Joe! You're a natural.
	11:56am Joe McG: Oh, and thanks for listening, everybody. I won't be here next week, but good news: Our good friend Jason Sigal will be back in this chair! See you in two!
	11:56am Cecile: Ha! I find as I get older myself, I'm a lot less sentimental about the past, too.
	11:56am Cecile: Oh, awesome, Joe. We'll miss you, but Jason does great shows.
	11:56am Van in DC: Nicely done Joe!
	11:58am glenn: now how about an interview with kinky friedman? the kinkstah!
	1:18pm Van in DC: Ha. I still can't get "Windy" out of my head.
	4:23pm Jay S: I get chills when Ruthann Friedman starts singing "Windy."
