	3:21am mauri: that greasy centaur at it again
	♥ 3:21am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Bill, and all. I spent an eternity in Winnipeg one day:)
	3:22am Bill Mac: @Sem Yikes! It can't be that bad.... can it?
	♥ 3:26am Stanley: Way-hey. Mornin' folks.
	♥ 3:27am Sem Chumbo: Probably just my own road fatigue, hitching from SF to Nova Scotia via Vancouver then straight acrosss the country. Pretty fried by the time I hit the 'Peg.
	♥ 3:27am Brian in UK: mauri going to North Wales, mountains, well not quite the Alps, my wifes family comes from there. All the daughters coming along so that will be good to meet up.
	3:28am Jay/London: @ sam was it like a groundhog Day Thing ?
	3:28am Bill Mac: It seems the Snares have a pretty negative attitude towards Winnipeg. They dedicated an entire album to it: venetiansnares.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 3:28am Brian in UK: Good 'getting a head of steam up' music. Bill.
	3:28am Bill Mac: Stanley! Just in time to give Brian a proper send-off
	♥ 3:29am Stanley: Too right. Nice one Brian. Have a great holiday, hope the weather stays fine.
	3:30am Bill Mac: Wind to yr back brother...
	♥ 3:30am Sem Chumbo: @Jay: except for the part where I learn good and useful things about life and myself:(
	3:32am Jay/London: @Sem always a good thing me thinks :)
	♥ 3:32am Sem Chumbo: @Brian: if it's Snowdonia and environs, I envy your trip! Had memorable times there.
	3:34am Emile: Loving it, Bill
	3:36am Bill Mac: Hey Emile!
	3:37am Andy in Berlin: ...or as Philip K. Dick used to call them, "ossifer!"
	♥ 3:44am Brian in UK: @Sem yes Snowdonia, it does rain in them there mountains but lets be positive. Ossify means to turn into bone. Just saying.
	♥ 3:46am Brian in UK: Pregnant with anticipitation for swag!!!! Cheers, Stanley.
	♥ 3:49am Sem Chumbo: @Brian: and ossuraries are just bizarre tourist attractions. I am looking at YOU, Portugal!
	3:50am Emile: Hell yeah Residents.... Saw them on the 40th anniversary tour, amazing. My first tasts back in the 80s was the sampler Nibbles. But the recent stuff is very very good, too.
	♥ 3:51am Stanley: The unmistakable sound of the Residents.
	3:52am Bill Mac: I thought this concept was genius - I think we've talked about this one along with the Morgan Fisher Miniatures project at some point in the past.
	3:53am Bill Mac: Sounds like Portugal is the place to be....
	3:54am Bill Mac: I saw the Rezzies back a few years back when they were pushing the Icky Flix product
	3:55am P-90: @sem chumbo: About how many miles was that?
	3:56am Looms: Good morning everyone. Trying to fully wake up, it's been a short night.
	3:56am JerzyBalowski: The Frantic Four did another reunion tour this year - about 5 or 6 dates. They won't be doing it again, apparently. Lancaster isn't in the best of health. They played nothing recorded after 1976!
	3:56am Bill Mac: Hey Looms!!
	3:57am KP: Is this the Home of the Good Guys
	3:58am Bill Mac: @Jerzy - I heard that... something about a reaction to hair dye? I thought they were just going to plow through Live - I'm glad they added a few more tunes.
	3:58am P-90: @ Felix Kubin: One of the few artists who can appropriately be played immediately after The Residents
	♥ 3:58am Stanley: I love this album. Similarly I also love the James Brown and George Gershwin 'cover' works.
	3:59am P-90: @ KP: So you remember the original Good Guys?
	♥ 4:00am Sem Chumbo: @P-90: in round numbers, about 5,000 miles. Took a northern route through Ontario, adding some unnecessary travel.
	4:00am P-90: @ Bill: "Good Guys Radio" was the slogan of WMCA FM radio in New York in the late '60s.
	♥ 4:01am Brian in UK: Better hit the road. See you in a cupla weeks. Take care y'all. Don Lang & his Frantic Five, anyone?
	♥ 4:02am Sem Chumbo: Before there was the notion of a "Morning zoo" on the radio.
	♥ 4:02am Stanley: See ya Brian
	♥ 4:03am Stanley: Exotic???
	4:05am Bill Mac: Yea! Isn't it?
	4:09am Bill Mac: We're Good Guys, just not that good
	4:10am KP: Sure wmca. I was a radio fan before Marconi
	4:11am Jay/London: @ Bill Good at being Real bad ..
	4:11am P-90: The "WMCA Good Guys" included the one and only Harry Harrison, and one Barry Gray, who was a little bit of a jerk, but hosted a pioneering late-night talk show that would often attract not just one or two but whole panels of distinguished guests, mostly local journalists and writers, who would sit around discussing a new book with it's author, or the Kennedy Assassination or UFO's, same topics guys like Larry king would later do. And actual hippie freaks would call in to debate politics with Barry, a Conservative.
	♥ 4:12am Stanley: Good question, Bill I suppose it's only exotic if its foreign and strange, which it would be to your good selves in the US. If we described North Wales (or anywhere in the UK, for that matter) as exotic, we would be being ironic.
	♥ 4:13am Stanley: Wooo, In the Pines, like I've never heard it before!
	4:14am Looms: is there a link between WMCA and YMCA?
	♥ 4:14am Sem Chumbo: Saw Long John Baldy and the great Kathi MacDonald do this one live. Mr. Clark's make it his own, too.
	♥ 4:14am coelacanth: am i late? what i miss?
	4:14am KP: Gene Clark! Did I ever mention I saw him with Rick Danko, Michael Clarke, John York
	4:15am P-90: Yo coelacanth!
	4:15am P-90: KP: Where/when was that?!
	♥ 4:15am coelacanth: (obviously some intense discussion.)
	4:16am Bill Mac: @Coelacanth - We're just getting started... Gene Clark discussion as well as comments on the "WMCA Good Guys" - you're caught up!
	4:16am KP: This iPhone cuts off my comments. Sometimes to odd effect
	♥ 4:16am coelacanth: olá P-90!
	♥ 4:17am Sem Chumbo: Coel!
	♥ 4:19am coelacanth: yeh,Bill...i don't think that's possible! Howdy,Sem C!
	4:20am Bill Mac: @KP Sure it's yr phone?
	4:22am Bill Mac: @ Coel - you know it doesn't matter right?
	4:22am Emile: Wow
	4:23am KP: The Lone Star in NYC. Also in band was Rick Roberts of burritos
	4:24am KP: The Lone Star in NYC. Also in band was Rick Roberts of burritos
	♥ 4:25am coelacanth: ...yes. it doesn't matter. ...but such fascinating distraction for the longing brain!
	♥ 4:25am Sem Chumbo: I'm turning half japanese.
	4:27am Bill Mac: @Coel Sounds like a turn of phrase you should get a patent on.
	♥ 4:29am Sem Chumbo: @coel: Bill's right, "Fascinating Distraction for the Longing Brain" has FMU show title written all over it. Or something like that:P
	4:31am Bill Mac: I can see it embroidered on buttless chaps worn across the country... you'll see...
	4:31am KP: Ok. Enough of the iphone censoring my comments. Also in band were Rick Roberts of FBB and Firefall, Blondie Chaplin of the Beach Boys and Easy Rider era Byrds bass player John York, who played 12-string. i was leaning on stage at Gene's feet. Life changing show.
	4:33am KP: Became huge GC fan and that sort of led to starting a band. We just recorded a Gene Clark song.
	♥ 4:33am coelacanth: ha! thanks! ...but if i had a wfmu show,i'd feel embarrassed wondering if my show'd lived up to that claim.
	4:34am Bill Mac: .... and to think I didn't even know who Gene Clark was until recently...
	4:34am KP: cherio old chaps?
	4:35am P-90: Actually "Buttless Chaps" should be the name of the the next country/western show on WFMU, now that "Radio Thrift Shop" is gone...
	♥ 4:35am Stanley: Buttless chaps, Bill? Please explain.
	♥ 4:35am coelacanth: so,just where is the embroiderment on buttless chaps?
	4:36am KP: i did not really appreciate him until that night. A version of the Band, with Danko & Manuel was on same bill. tHey were great too.
	♥ 4:37am Guido from Cologne: Hello Bill and everyone! Much too busy at the stove but listening!
	4:37am P-90: @coel: good point, wouldn't that be more "tatooed" than "embroidered"?
	♥ 4:37am coelacanth: -i wonder if Ms.Cantrell would appreciate the title.
	♥ 4:39am coelacanth: ...but from now,on,it's expected that if you wear buttless chaps,you get that tattoo.
	4:39am P-90: Wasn't there an old-timey country crooner named Buttless Chaps back in the forties?
	4:42am P-90: I think that old country swing band was called Buttless Chaps and his Saddle Leather Boys
	4:43am KP: Other epiphanies? The Happy Jack era Who, the Clarence White Byrds, Rolling Thunder Dylan. Linda Ronstadt but in a different way
	♥ 4:43am coelacanth: There was a whole band of buttless chaps. Their southern nannies neglected to give them their lima bean enemas.
	♥ 4:44am Stanley: Aren't chaps buttless by default?
	4:45am Bill Mac: How many good eras did the Byrds have?
	♥ 4:45am coelacanth: ( shhh. if people found out,we'd have to say just chaps.)
	4:46am KP: Original mott the hoople. they were amazing. MC5.
	4:46am Bill Mac: Buttless chaps wfmu.org...
	4:46am Bill Mac: @Stanley - dammit - I just checked... I'm being redundant.
	♥ 4:47am Sem Chumbo: Geez, I step out to load hooch for the Farmers' Mkt and miss this brain-searing discussion about buttless chaps: what, guys with no cigarettes?
	4:47am Bill Mac: Actually a picture of a chapless butt...
	♥ 4:47am coelacanth: okay! That's considerably better than the harley-biker image i had.
	4:49am KP: There were basically two Byrds. Crosby, Hillman, et all, and then the country era Clarence White Byrds. They carried on Sweetheart of Rodeo sound after Gram Parsons left. The Ballad of Easy Rider, Chestnut Mare and a long live version of Eight Miles High are best known songs from them. Roger McGuinn was the constant. It's heresy but i prefer what is known as the latter day Byrds.
	4:49am P-90: @KP: Linda Ronstadt ANY old way, Man! I used to go to the old Lone Star doesn't there by Washington Square, you could get really close to those bands, it was that kind of place. I remember walking in the door one evening in the eighties and walking right past The Ventures in mid-set to get to the bar...
	4:50am Bill Mac: Mott the Hoople.... didn't see the original band but Mach II was plenty for this 17 year old.... except for REO Speedwagon replacing Queen as the opener (!!!!) it was truly memorable.
	4:51am KP: Wow. yeah the Lone Star. My friends used to play there. drummer in my band now.
	♥ 4:51am Stanley: @Bill - yee haw!
	4:52am P-90: @ Stanley: Good point! Chaps are never "butted" by definition. So "buttless" chaps is redundant.
	4:52am Bill Mac: @Stanley - meet my Aunt Tilly
	♥ 4:53am Stanley: (Ooops, apologies, Bill)
	♥ 4:53am coelacanth: The Byrds confuses me. i deeply Love ballad of easy rider; you ain't goin' nowhere; some others...really cannot stand chestnut mare, & the majority of their material that i've heard.
	4:54am KP: Ronstadt was from that country rock era too. Then Peter Asher entered picture.
	4:55am Bill Mac: @Stanley - Yep taken during the depression - poor girl could only afford boots and a hat...
	4:56am KP: Is this your premium Bill?
	♥ 4:57am coelacanth: -poor girl. I'll cover her.
	4:58am KP: Ha, Tom Scharpling has big problem with Chestnut Mare. Of course it's same band that did Mr. Tambourine Man. Turn, Turn, Turn annd feel a Whole Lot Better, but different.
	♥ 4:58am Stanley: I got that premium coming my way. But its a slow swag train-a-coming.
	4:59am Bill Mac: @KP Actually it's Destination Outs premium. I like some of the selections on it... Sharrock and Ulmer to name a couple.
	♥ 4:59am Stanley: @Bill.......and a bottle of Wild Turkey!
	5:00am P-90: Don't forget "Eight Miles High", they were a PSYCHEDELIC cowboy blues-folk rock band. Hard to explain nowadays, it was a San Francisco thing...
	♥ 5:01am Stanley: @P-90 anything to do with the drugs?
	♥ 5:03am coelacanth: ...and i like turn turn turn & feel a whole lot better; but don't like tambourine man - or any other Dylan cover they did,for that matter, except for you ain't goin' nowhere. ...?
	5:05am P-90: The English rock musicians I've spoken to who came up in London in the sixties always mention that The Byrds were a big inspiration, like the big influence that fans never guess. The Prog rockers in particular were mad for The Byrds, unlikely as it sounds...
	♥ 5:06am coelacanth: i like 8 miles high,too...& "changing heart". see,this is why i'm confused!
	♥ 5:09am coelacanth: P-90 That IS interesting! ...but i've heard interviews with "drone-metal" artists who claimed the Beatles as an influence, so...
	♥ 5:09am Stanley: Ah, Quo, one of my favorite childhood favourites until..........punk!
	5:10am KP: Changing Heart? Now im confused.
	5:13am Bill Mac: ... and I've actually heard of Quo being described as proto-punk at one time
	♥ 5:13am coelacanth: i think it may be just from the reunion incarnation. (?)
	5:15am KP: OK, Changing Heart is from the reunion album. The original five guys, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke. It was not well received. Crosby had major role in it and made is more like CSNY than BYRDS. It also signaled end of the group.
	♥ 5:15am coelacanth: [which is the original line-up.]
	♥ 5:16am coelacanth: ...yes!
	5:18am Looms: Ah yes!!! Donkey!
	♥ 5:18am coelacanth: -but i happen to be more of a David Crosby fan than any of the rest of them, so this kind of makes sens.
	5:19am Looms: woops, wrong song ;)
	5:20am Bill Mac: @Looms Nope! Sorry!
	5:24am w41: Wow, slept until 1.30 pm, that's something new. Good morning one and all!
	5:25am P-90: YAY!
	5:25am Bill Mac: Dubbuhyuh! I'll probably be in bed by 130 this afternoon.
	5:26am P-90: Good ol' Gaylord...
	5:26am w41: And the Sun comes a full circle.
	5:28am Bill Mac: We've been schooled - who knew Zep wrote new wave tunes....
	♥ 5:28am Sem Chumbo: It's been a whole lotta love I've heard here this morning, friends of Bill M., but now I gotta go to another meeting. Thanks, Bill, for the spins and see you next time for sure.
	5:29am Bill Mac: Another meeting.... don't forget to take notes Sem...
	♥ 5:31am coelacanth: ciao, Sem.
	♥ 5:32am Sem Chumbo: See ya, coel, be well.
	♥ 5:36am Stanley: Bye, Sem
	5:37am P-90: @sem chumbo: see you on the flipside, Man
	5:38am KP: Full Circle. That's another one off the Byrds' reunion album, written by Gene Clark. Whic is where i came in and where I'll go out, sort of like a Full Circle. See you Bill & everybody!
	5:39am Bill Mac: Take care KP, thanks for stickin round n droppin the science
	♥ 5:41am coelacanth: on this human-devised time-zone it's quite late & i too am checking out from the internet.(though i'll still be hearing via radio until unconsciousness arrives.) . Thank you Mr.Mac. ciao P-90,KP, everyone.
	5:47am Bill Mac: Since you put it like that Coel, we'll see you when we see you!
	5:49am Looms: Only those who do nothing make no mistakes, Bill. Thanks for the show, bye everyone.
	♥ 5:52am Stanley: Another good show, Bill. Been a blast. ..to the flea market now (I've run out of fleas)
	5:54am Bill Mac: badapah! one THAT note I'll been you all adieu. Thanks for keeping it interesting everybody.... until nextaweek!
	5:58am P-90: Thanks for another fine Friday night/Saturday morning aural experience. Keep your chaps warm and drive REAL careful back to Casa Mac. Aloha!
	5:58am Jay/London: Bye Bill all all have a WOW weekend

	3:50am Emile: Hell yeah Residents.... Saw them on the 40th anniversary tour, amazing. My first tasts back in the 80s was the sampler Nibbles. But the recent stuff is very very good, too.
	♥ 3:51am Stanley: The unmistakable sound of the Residents.
	3:52am Bill Mac: I thought this concept was genius - I think we've talked about this one along with the Morgan Fisher Miniatures project at some point in the past.
	3:53am Bill Mac: Sounds like Portugal is the place to be....
	3:54am Bill Mac: I saw the Rezzies back a few years back when they were pushing the Icky Flix product
	3:55am P-90: @sem chumbo: About how many miles was that?
	3:56am Looms: Good morning everyone. Trying to fully wake up, it's been a short night.
	3:56am JerzyBalowski: The Frantic Four did another reunion tour this year - about 5 or 6 dates. They won't be doing it again, apparently. Lancaster isn't in the best of health. They played nothing recorded after 1976!
	3:56am Bill Mac: Hey Looms!!
	3:57am KP: Is this the Home of the Good Guys
	3:58am Bill Mac: @Jerzy - I heard that... something about a reaction to hair dye? I thought they were just going to plow through Live - I'm glad they added a few more tunes.
	3:58am P-90: @ Felix Kubin: One of the few artists who can appropriately be played immediately after The Residents
	♥ 3:58am Stanley: I love this album. Similarly I also love the James Brown and George Gershwin 'cover' works.
	3:59am P-90: @ KP: So you remember the original Good Guys?
	♥ 4:00am Sem Chumbo: @P-90: in round numbers, about 5,000 miles. Took a northern route through Ontario, adding some unnecessary travel.
	4:00am P-90: @ Bill: "Good Guys Radio" was the slogan of WMCA FM radio in New York in the late '60s.
	♥ 4:01am Brian in UK: Better hit the road. See you in a cupla weeks. Take care y'all. Don Lang & his Frantic Five, anyone?
	♥ 4:02am Sem Chumbo: Before there was the notion of a "Morning zoo" on the radio.
	♥ 4:02am Stanley: See ya Brian
	♥ 4:03am Stanley: Exotic???
	4:05am Bill Mac: Yea! Isn't it?
	4:09am Bill Mac: We're Good Guys, just not that good
	4:10am KP: Sure wmca. I was a radio fan before Marconi
	4:11am Jay/London: @ Bill Good at being Real bad ..
	4:11am P-90: The "WMCA Good Guys" included the one and only Harry Harrison, and one Barry Gray, who was a little bit of a jerk, but hosted a pioneering late-night talk show that would often attract not just one or two but whole panels of distinguished guests, mostly local journalists and writers, who would sit around discussing a new book with it's author, or the Kennedy Assassination or UFO's, same topics guys like Larry king would later do. And actual hippie freaks would call in to debate politics with Barry, a Conservative.
	♥ 4:12am Stanley: Good question, Bill I suppose it's only exotic if its foreign and strange, which it would be to your good selves in the US. If we described North Wales (or anywhere in the UK, for that matter) as exotic, we would be being ironic.
	♥ 4:13am Stanley: Wooo, In the Pines, like I've never heard it before!
	4:14am Looms: is there a link between WMCA and YMCA?
	♥ 4:14am Sem Chumbo: Saw Long John Baldy and the great Kathi MacDonald do this one live. Mr. Clark's make it his own, too.
	♥ 4:14am coelacanth: am i late? what i miss?
	4:14am KP: Gene Clark! Did I ever mention I saw him with Rick Danko, Michael Clarke, John York
	4:15am P-90: Yo coelacanth!
	4:15am P-90: KP: Where/when was that?!
	♥ 4:15am coelacanth: (obviously some intense discussion.)
	4:16am Bill Mac: @Coelacanth - We're just getting started... Gene Clark discussion as well as comments on the "WMCA Good Guys" - you're caught up!
	4:16am KP: This iPhone cuts off my comments. Sometimes to odd effect
	♥ 4:16am coelacanth: olá P-90!
	♥ 4:17am Sem Chumbo: Coel!
	♥ 4:19am coelacanth: yeh,Bill...i don't think that's possible! Howdy,Sem C!
	4:20am Bill Mac: @KP Sure it's yr phone?
	4:22am Bill Mac: @ Coel - you know it doesn't matter right?
	4:22am Emile: Wow
	4:23am KP: The Lone Star in NYC. Also in band was Rick Roberts of burritos
	4:24am KP: The Lone Star in NYC. Also in band was Rick Roberts of burritos
	♥ 4:25am coelacanth: ...yes. it doesn't matter. ...but such fascinating distraction for the longing brain!
	♥ 4:25am Sem Chumbo: I'm turning half japanese.
	4:27am Bill Mac: @Coel Sounds like a turn of phrase you should get a patent on.
	♥ 4:29am Sem Chumbo: @coel: Bill's right, "Fascinating Distraction for the Longing Brain" has FMU show title written all over it. Or something like that:P
	4:31am Bill Mac: I can see it embroidered on buttless chaps worn across the country... you'll see...
	4:31am KP: Ok. Enough of the iphone censoring my comments. Also in band were Rick Roberts of FBB and Firefall, Blondie Chaplin of the Beach Boys and Easy Rider era Byrds bass player John York, who played 12-string. i was leaning on stage at Gene's feet. Life changing show.
	4:33am KP: Became huge GC fan and that sort of led to starting a band. We just recorded a Gene Clark song.
	♥ 4:33am coelacanth: ha! thanks! ...but if i had a wfmu show,i'd feel embarrassed wondering if my show'd lived up to that claim.
	4:34am Bill Mac: .... and to think I didn't even know who Gene Clark was until recently...
	4:34am KP: cherio old chaps?
	4:35am P-90: Actually "Buttless Chaps" should be the name of the the next country/western show on WFMU, now that "Radio Thrift Shop" is gone...
	♥ 4:35am Stanley: Buttless chaps, Bill? Please explain.
	♥ 4:35am coelacanth: so,just where is the embroiderment on buttless chaps?
	4:36am KP: i did not really appreciate him until that night. A version of the Band, with Danko & Manuel was on same bill. tHey were great too.
	♥ 4:37am Guido from Cologne: Hello Bill and everyone! Much too busy at the stove but listening!
	4:37am P-90: @coel: good point, wouldn't that be more "tatooed" than "embroidered"?
	♥ 4:37am coelacanth: -i wonder if Ms.Cantrell would appreciate the title.
	♥ 4:39am coelacanth: ...but from now,on,it's expected that if you wear buttless chaps,you get that tattoo.
	4:39am P-90: Wasn't there an old-timey country crooner named Buttless Chaps back in the forties?
	4:42am P-90: I think that old country swing band was called Buttless Chaps and his Saddle Leather Boys
	4:43am KP: Other epiphanies? The Happy Jack era Who, the Clarence White Byrds, Rolling Thunder Dylan. Linda Ronstadt but in a different way
	♥ 4:43am coelacanth: There was a whole band of buttless chaps. Their southern nannies neglected to give them their lima bean enemas.
	♥ 4:44am Stanley: Aren't chaps buttless by default?
	4:45am Bill Mac: How many good eras did the Byrds have?
	♥ 4:45am coelacanth: ( shhh. if people found out,we'd have to say just chaps.)
	4:46am KP: Original mott the hoople. they were amazing. MC5.
	4:46am Bill Mac: Buttless chaps wfmu.org...
	4:46am Bill Mac: @Stanley - dammit - I just checked... I'm being redundant.
	♥ 4:47am Sem Chumbo: Geez, I step out to load hooch for the Farmers' Mkt and miss this brain-searing discussion about buttless chaps: what, guys with no cigarettes?
	4:47am Bill Mac: Actually a picture of a chapless butt...
	♥ 4:47am coelacanth: okay! That's considerably better than the harley-biker image i had.
	4:49am KP: There were basically two Byrds. Crosby, Hillman, et all, and then the country era Clarence White Byrds. They carried on Sweetheart of Rodeo sound after Gram Parsons left. The Ballad of Easy Rider, Chestnut Mare and a long live version of Eight Miles High are best known songs from them. Roger McGuinn was the constant. It's heresy but i prefer what is known as the latter day Byrds.
	4:49am P-90: @KP: Linda Ronstadt ANY old way, Man! I used to go to the old Lone Star doesn't there by Washington Square, you could get really close to those bands, it was that kind of place. I remember walking in the door one evening in the eighties and walking right past The Ventures in mid-set to get to the bar...
	4:50am Bill Mac: Mott the Hoople.... didn't see the original band but Mach II was plenty for this 17 year old.... except for REO Speedwagon replacing Queen as the opener (!!!!) it was truly memorable.
	4:51am KP: Wow. yeah the Lone Star. My friends used to play there. drummer in my band now.
	♥ 4:51am Stanley: @Bill - yee haw!
	4:52am P-90: @ Stanley: Good point! Chaps are never "butted" by definition. So "buttless" chaps is redundant.
	4:52am Bill Mac: @Stanley - meet my Aunt Tilly
	♥ 4:53am Stanley: (Ooops, apologies, Bill)
	♥ 4:53am coelacanth: The Byrds confuses me. i deeply Love ballad of easy rider; you ain't goin' nowhere; some others...really cannot stand chestnut mare, & the majority of their material that i've heard.
	4:54am KP: Ronstadt was from that country rock era too. Then Peter Asher entered picture.
	4:55am Bill Mac: @Stanley - Yep taken during the depression - poor girl could only afford boots and a hat...
	4:56am KP: Is this your premium Bill?
	♥ 4:57am coelacanth: -poor girl. I'll cover her.
	4:58am KP: Ha, Tom Scharpling has big problem with Chestnut Mare. Of course it's same band that did Mr. Tambourine Man. Turn, Turn, Turn annd feel a Whole Lot Better, but different.
	♥ 4:58am Stanley: I got that premium coming my way. But its a slow swag train-a-coming.
	4:59am Bill Mac: @KP Actually it's Destination Outs premium. I like some of the selections on it... Sharrock and Ulmer to name a couple.
	♥ 4:59am Stanley: @Bill.......and a bottle of Wild Turkey!
	5:00am P-90: Don't forget "Eight Miles High", they were a PSYCHEDELIC cowboy blues-folk rock band. Hard to explain nowadays, it was a San Francisco thing...
	♥ 5:01am Stanley: @P-90 anything to do with the drugs?
	♥ 5:03am coelacanth: ...and i like turn turn turn & feel a whole lot better; but don't like tambourine man - or any other Dylan cover they did,for that matter, except for you ain't goin' nowhere. ...?
	5:05am P-90: The English rock musicians I've spoken to who came up in London in the sixties always mention that The Byrds were a big inspiration, like the big influence that fans never guess. The Prog rockers in particular were mad for The Byrds, unlikely as it sounds...
	♥ 5:06am coelacanth: i like 8 miles high,too...& "changing heart". see,this is why i'm confused!
	♥ 5:09am coelacanth: P-90 That IS interesting! ...but i've heard interviews with "drone-metal" artists who claimed the Beatles as an influence, so...
	♥ 5:09am Stanley: Ah, Quo, one of my favorite childhood favourites until..........punk!
	5:10am KP: Changing Heart? Now im confused.
	5:13am Bill Mac: ... and I've actually heard of Quo being described as proto-punk at one time
	♥ 5:13am coelacanth: i think it may be just from the reunion incarnation. (?)
	5:15am KP: OK, Changing Heart is from the reunion album. The original five guys, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke. It was not well received. Crosby had major role in it and made is more like CSNY than BYRDS. It also signaled end of the group.
	♥ 5:15am coelacanth: [which is the original line-up.]
	♥ 5:16am coelacanth: ...yes!
	5:18am Looms: Ah yes!!! Donkey!
	♥ 5:18am coelacanth: -but i happen to be more of a David Crosby fan than any of the rest of them, so this kind of makes sens.
	5:19am Looms: woops, wrong song ;)
	5:20am Bill Mac: @Looms Nope! Sorry!
	5:24am w41: Wow, slept until 1.30 pm, that's something new. Good morning one and all!
	5:25am P-90: YAY!
	5:25am Bill Mac: Dubbuhyuh! I'll probably be in bed by 130 this afternoon.
	5:26am P-90: Good ol' Gaylord...
	5:26am w41: And the Sun comes a full circle.
	5:28am Bill Mac: We've been schooled - who knew Zep wrote new wave tunes....
	♥ 5:28am Sem Chumbo: It's been a whole lotta love I've heard here this morning, friends of Bill M., but now I gotta go to another meeting. Thanks, Bill, for the spins and see you next time for sure.
	5:29am Bill Mac: Another meeting.... don't forget to take notes Sem...
	♥ 5:31am coelacanth: ciao, Sem.
	♥ 5:32am Sem Chumbo: See ya, coel, be well.
	♥ 5:36am Stanley: Bye, Sem
	5:37am P-90: @sem chumbo: see you on the flipside, Man
	5:38am KP: Full Circle. That's another one off the Byrds' reunion album, written by Gene Clark. Whic is where i came in and where I'll go out, sort of like a Full Circle. See you Bill & everybody!
	5:39am Bill Mac: Take care KP, thanks for stickin round n droppin the science
	♥ 5:41am coelacanth: on this human-devised time-zone it's quite late & i too am checking out from the internet.(though i'll still be hearing via radio until unconsciousness arrives.) . Thank you Mr.Mac. ciao P-90,KP, everyone.
	5:47am Bill Mac: Since you put it like that Coel, we'll see you when we see you!
	5:49am Looms: Only those who do nothing make no mistakes, Bill. Thanks for the show, bye everyone.
	♥ 5:52am Stanley: Another good show, Bill. Been a blast. ..to the flea market now (I've run out of fleas)
	5:54am Bill Mac: badapah! one THAT note I'll been you all adieu. Thanks for keeping it interesting everybody.... until nextaweek!
	5:58am P-90: Thanks for another fine Friday night/Saturday morning aural experience. Keep your chaps warm and drive REAL careful back to Casa Mac. Aloha!
	5:58am Jay/London: Bye Bill all all have a WOW weekend
