	9:16am KP: Good morning, Joe. Just had an apartment inspection. I think they saw the Paper Lace LP.
	9:16am beavoux: Jackson Browne song later covered by G Allman
	9:16am Joe McG: @KP: Uh-oh, you'll never pass.
	9:16am DJ Stashu: All this makes me wish I was driving in a car. With the radio blasting. Hopefully it would be, like, a rural road, so I wouldn't have to worry about other cars. But there's still the deer. Always gotta worry about the deer. And jack rabbits. They're huge.
	9:17am KP: So Nico is country rock?
	9:17am Joe McG: @Stashu: I want to upgrade you to a pick-up truck for this trip!
	9:18am DJ Stashu: With rust please. And a dusty window-shield. Wipers that don't work for crap.
	9:18am mains hum: Rockin the Joemore!
	9:19am duke: You need an 8-track in that pickup truck.
	9:19am beavoux: Right Nico had a fling with Jackson Browne she did it first. In 1967
	9:19am northguineahills: It's funny how I avoided Southern Rock in my youth b/c it was omnipresent, then once I moved to NYC, I had to get some SR vinyl, b/c something was missing from my daily ambiance.
	9:19am bobdoesthings: hello! im here and im southern rock ready!
	9:20am nate: saw dickey betts
	9:21am Marcel M: Woahhh Beaverteeth! What a name!
	9:22am PKNY: Odds are that no band name will beat Beaverteeth during this set.
	9:23am northguineahills: reminds me of a certain movie....
	9:23am Shelby Foote: Joe i'd like thank you for a most auspicious morning.
	9:23am Scott Williams: just in time for Beaverteeth!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Marcel and PKNY: You oughta see the cover.
	9:25am thedunkel: BEAVERTEETH!!
	9:25am Joe McG: Big props to Scott Williams for picking up the Beaverteeth record for me during my record store ban.
	9:25am PKNY: @Joe - woah! i.ebayimg.com...$_57.JPG
	9:26am bobdoesthings: 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:26am bobdoesthings: is that it?
	9:26am PKNY: Oops, broken link. s.pixogs.com...
	9:28am Rev. Turnip Druid: Peace beechawl.
	9:30am Jim Devoid: Great show!
	9:30am Joe McG: Peace, Reverend. I hope you will bestow your blessing on this endeavor.
	9:30am βrian: So what qualifies? Anything from south of Toledo? Makes sense to me. ("Thar be monsters.")
	9:30am Bill Faulkner: Say... This show is catchy.
	9:31am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, anything southerly. Buckacre may be the one exception, but it's SO Southern Rock, we'll give Illinois honorary status today.
	9:33am beavoux: Toledo? No that would be south of the Ohio River, Cincinatti
	9:34am βrian: I've been to the Illinois river valley. Yep. South.
	9:34am beavoux: So REM
	9:35am Brendan: Speaking of the Illini, you'd be remiss if you didn't play Mr. Lincoln, by Hank Jr
	9:35am Marcel M: Haaaa! Love the background music.
	9:35am βrian: Joe IS Southern Man.
	9:35am common: this is fabulous!
	9:36am DJ Stashu: Beaverteeth. Just wanted to type that.
	9:36am Parq: I expect the playlist is already set, but for the record, the Brothers number that still sends me into orbit is "Mem. of Elizabeth Reed".
	9:37am beavoux: Don't forget the Outlaws.
	9:38am KP: There was a guy in Australia named Billy Thorpe who was kind of great and sounded very southern rock.
	9:38am DeaconDave: Is Black Oak Arkansas considered southern rock?
	9:39am bobdoesthings: www.bigvjamboree.com...
	9:39am Marcel M: Black Oak Arkansas!
	9:39am Marcel M: Hah! Read my mind Deacon. I believe they are.
	9:39am northguineahills: I've said it before, but in HS I was friends w/ Lynyrd Skynyrd's drummer's (Artemis Pyle) son. Crazy lad. (yes, I grew up outside Jacksonville).
	9:39am PKNY: @DeaconDave - BOA is southern rock!
	9:39am duke: I grew up in the heart of Pennsyltucky. Southern rock was BIG down there when I was young, along with metal and soul. I was into soul mostly, so this stuff is kind of new to me.
	9:39am Marcel M: Bob... that is an amazing cover hahahhahahha
	9:39am KP: And don't forget Wishbone Ash, the English Allman Brothers.
	9:40am beavoux: I grew up in the south in The 70s Never heard of Beaverteeth
	9:40am DeaconDave: Love to hear "Gravel Road" by BOA
	9:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: Bestowing blessings like a house on FAH...
	9:40am DeaconDave: Shall I collect the offering Reverend?
	9:41am Lonely Planet Boy: wanted to post comment close to 9:00, "Turn it Up".
	9:41am d¢ pät: 'lo, Joe.
	9:41am Greg from Bloomfield: I missed Beaverteeth! God dam it.
	9:42am KP: I saw Black Oak Arkansas long time ago. Yeah, they were like Southern Metal, same thing sort of.
	9:42am Jeff: I went through an odd phase in my youth (well, many, but I speak of one on particular): for awhile, I decided I didn't like vocals. During that time, the Dixie Dregs were my particular jam.
	9:43am βrian: I saw the Black Oak Arkansas tour bus once. That was good enough for me.
	9:43am Joe McG: @KP: No Brits today. Being very purist! There will be BOA. Soon.
	9:44am sphere: its odd, but i find that a fair amount of Southern Rock has a Dead-ish feel.
	9:45am Joe McG: @sphere: A bit, yeah! A lot of them were hippies.
	9:45am βrian: I had a different problem with vocals. I could hear them only as music, not language. I was always astounded that people would hear — and remember — lyrics.
	9:46am Parq: I remember that the two groups had overlapping fan bases
	9:46am bobdoesthings: @sphere - also feels oddly like white people trying to do gospel
	9:46am common: i am now 8 years old...again.
	9:47am northguineahills: redneck hippies are a particular breed. Many are pretty cool, but some embody the worse of both stereotypes.
	9:47am beavoux: I saw Grinderswitch open for someone in the 70s Named after the hometown of Minnie Pearl
	9:47am DCE: dig that steel!
	9:48am Darly Channels and Tarshall Mucker: Joe rocks!
	9:49am Joe McG: @beavoux: I'll bite. What's Minnie Pearl's hometown?
	9:51am βrian: Sounds like Sinnerville.
	9:51am beavoux: Grinder's Switch TN !
	9:52am d¢ pät: despite growing up in Pennsyltucky as well (born KY, grew up PA), I have zero connection with this stuff. I'm digging this slide lead though....
	9:53am Joe McG: @beavoux: Ha ha ha!
	9:53am bobdoesthings: some of this stuff is bringing back memories of when Tom Scharpling would play Pig Pen from the Dead. and then rant about how bad pig pen was.
	9:54am PKNY: To me, ZZ Top transcends Southern Rock, but I will never complain about hearing them in any context.
	9:54am KP: Brian, having seen them, you said it!
	9:54am beavoux: @joe I forgot to put a comma there. And who they opened for.
	9:55am northguineahills: Against my better judgement, faving this epispde. Pig Pen was one of the better influences on the Dead.
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. What's all this then.
	9:55am Rectitude: ThE coMMentS SO FAr aRe BrillIant
	9:56am βrian: Travis peaked as a male baby name in 1979 at number 36.
	9:56am Lonely Planet Boy: I moved from New Brunswick, NJ, to southeastern Va. in late summer of '76, at the start of freshman year of high school. Got an instant immersion in Southern rock.
	9:57am KP: ZZ Top might look like dirtbags but they are not Southern Rock. For one thing all of them are still alive.
	9:58am beavoux: Yeah, Texas is South but also West of the Mississppi, it's real different there than say Georgia.
	9:58am d¢ pät: ZZ Top will always be the Moving Sidewalks to me...
	9:58am herb.nyc: So, is Diane Kamikaze here yet? I JOKE! This stuff is alien to me, but i can groove to it.
	9:58am Marcel M: I never thought of ZZ in the southern rock context, but it makes sense. I think it fits... Texas schmexus... its all down there!
	9:59am Santos L Halper: Hey Joe! Will have to mostly listen on archive, but looks like plenty of gems that I missed growing up down here in Dixie. Y'oughtta make this a yearly show IMO. Play it pretty!
	9:59am KP: A guy i knew was huge Molly Hatchet fan. He would proudly claim they were the first southern rock band to have every member croak.
	10:00am beavoux: I'm seeing ZZ in a couple of weeks with Jeff Beck in ATL.
	10:00am Joe McG: Will do, Santos!
	10:01am Marcel M: There is a "rig rundown" video from Premier Guitar on Billy Gibbons, and it takes place at Kid Rock's house, and at the end they do a little jam with Kid Rock... its pretty funny.
	10:01am βrian: ZZ Top reminds me of the south of France. (Long story). In any case, I hold that there's no such band as "Zed Zed Top."
	10:01am KP: I saw Charlie Daniels get booed off stage in Central Park. His original group was set up and sounded just like ABB. NYC was crazy about the Brothers and didnt dig it.
	10:02am Joe McG: @KP: Shame! CDB cooks.
	10:02am KP: At that time they did not have own sound or approach at all.
	10:04am Marcel M: Ah yes... Provence France... Listening to ZZ Top and drinking fine wine and eating camembert...
	10:04am MD: i need to say this....HE..... HAW!!!!
	10:04am northguineahills: Damn, KP, I'd love to see Charlie Daniels.
	10:04am bobdoesthings: @marcel.. that's the dream
	10:04am Marcel M: One day Bob... one day!
	10:05am PKNY: Jim Dandy is the man!
	10:05am Marcel M: Haha! Black Oak! This band is funny
	10:05am beavoux: Yet Molly Hatchett continue to exist despite having 14 former members and even more former touring players!
	10:05am mains hum: play that washboard, son
	10:05am βrian: Not fine wine, by any stretch. We referred to it as "high velocity" wine.
	10:06am beavoux: The original David Lee Roth.
	10:06am Marcel M: Hmmmm High Velocity... what region is that from?
	10:07am common: that does sound good marcel. good call, beavoux!
	10:07am KP: Also saw Billy Gibbons recently with Moving Sidewalks. THat was disappointing because it was really just him but watching that guy turn it on from 15 feet away was amazing.
	10:07am KP: Thanks for the BOA, Joe!
	10:07am PKNY: @beavoux - damn right. Watching old BOA clips, you see how much of an influence Jim Dandy was on DLR.
	10:08am Cork: this song is awesome
	10:09am PKNY: @KP - that reminds me, I still need to pick up that Moving Sidewalks comp, everything I've heard off of that has been facemelting.
	10:09am northguineahills: what Cork said!
	10:09am Marcel M: What the hell does the title of this song have to do with anything? haha
	10:10am βrian: It spans regions and bears no scrutiny or contemplation. Pinard is another term for it.
	10:10am beavoux: Mutants of the Monster!
	10:11am Tim BK: Great show Joe! from an ATL native they used to play a lot of these gems on the two classic rock stations, one Z93 would full sides of albums. After the show check out a live ripping version of Call Me the Breeze by Skynyrd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsIqEq9OFxE
	10:11am Kurt Gottschalk: mary mother of god i just tuned in, having forgotten.
	10:11am Marcel M: They get so metal at points
	10:11am Philthy woman: I liked the looney melt down that just went down... now wha?
	10:11am Jeff: When I was going to school in NC, I don't believe the music you've been playing was necessarily referred to as "Southern Rock". Another common name for it was... "music".
	10:11am Marcel M: Came in at a good moment Kurt
	10:12am Marcel M: Joe you are the master at being on time with your playlist!
	10:12am beavoux: Another good Texas band was Bloodrock.
	10:12am Brendan: Not coincidentally, the night electricity came to Arkansas as the very same night the lights went out in Georgia.
	10:13am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha!
	10:13am bobdoesthings: @marcel / joe - I concur. I super appreciate the DJ's that are good with the tracklists, it's the best!
	10:13am Brendan: It was a simple rectifier switch problem.
	10:14am sweir: Great set Joe. Thank you!
	10:15am common: hi philthy woman.
	10:16am Marcel M: Working early today bye guys have fun rockin'
	10:16am northguineahills: 38 Special, dayum, they were always on the radio.
	10:17am bobdoesthings: @marcel "early"
	10:17am Marcel M: Its all relative Bob!
	10:18am bobdoesthings: hehehe sorry had to poke fun
	10:18am beavoux: @northguinea Artimus Pyle, who was not the original drummer, was a nut himself. They kicked him out before any of the reunions.
	10:19am d¢ pät: is it safe to come back yet?
	10:19am Brendan: Nice cowbell but the question in my mind is Hurry Sundown or Green Grass or ?
	10:20am Rectitude: tic
	10:21am beavoux: Green Grass is longer than Freebird, wouldn't be any show left!
	10:23am Bodega Man: Digging this southern rock special. Makes me want to start drinking and smoking at 10am.
	10:23am Brendan: Yeah they were partial to 10 minute guitar breaks
	10:24am βrian: Oh oh. Are we getting into stereotypes now? Cuz if we are ...
	10:24am Brendan: The hatchet got axed
	10:25am beavoux: Get stoned in the mornin' and drunk in the afternoon.
	10:25am Brendan: Just stereo
	10:25am northguineahills: @beavoux: That would be b/c he became a registered sex offender. The Ronnie Van Zant's daughter lived down the street of one of my best friends.
	10:27am Utopiast: Can't remember the last time I woke up to Molly Hatchet.
	10:28am KP: Brendan, hahahahaa!
	10:28am sphere: these folks are rather blunt when they talk about getting laid.
	10:28am KP: Utopiast, if you do remember, let us know.
	10:28am Utopiast: But, I think it was during the Carter Administration.
	10:29am Parq: I'm slightly amazed at how many of these bands I remember. Haven't even thought of Mama's Pride in the best part of half a century.
	10:29am Utopiast: @KP Not a reliable recollection..,The 70s....
	10:29am KP: Georgia, makes sense
	10:30am mains hum: make you wanna go crawdad holin in the monin
	10:30am SeanG: lovin' the show, Joe!
	10:30am MD: THE HATCHET!!
	10:31am d¢ pät: I'm glad Molly Hatchet is dead.
	10:31am DCE: ((((visions leather cowboy hats and black boots in smoky bars...))))
	10:31am d¢ pät: But I love JoeM, mwah.
	10:31am Utopiast: @mains hum I assume you mean for the small wily crustacean
	10:31am DCE: poor Molly, god rest her soul
	10:31am common: thanks for the hatchet, joe
	10:31am KP: I saw a lot of these bands in the 70s, all as opening acts, except the Allmans. Most got booed off stage, but this was NY. The Allman Brothers were WAY different than these acts.
	10:31am beavoux: Seems like an eternity
	10:32am KP: Molly Hatchet does an amazing cover of the Allman's "Dreams."
	10:32am DCE: how much jukin' can one man do?
	10:32am Andrew Waterloo: I heard Joe's bed music in an Italian restaurant a couple weeks ago. It was followed by Back In Black.
	10:33am Matt F: I'm up in Studio C and before I figured out your show concept I had to look out the window to see who was listening to the Allmans in their car.
	10:33am MD: LECTRICITY!!!
	10:34am beavoux: I liked NY bands like Blue Oyster Cult!
	10:34am Utopiast: @KP I saw Dr, John get chased by thrown objects in Phili ('72) Not a pretty scene. Phili fans can be cruel. He was opening for Jeff Beck, if I recall correctly.
	10:34am d¢ pät: ah, phew!
	10:35am MD: Joe...can we hear the Devil's most beautiful Fiddle solo!?!?!
	10:35am Tome: what about the ,,, should I say "Outlaws" ... great set Joe you're pretty much covering it all , .. love it .
	10:35am MD: Johnny Had nothin' on Ol' NICK!!!
	10:36am Kurt Gottschalk: glad the chuck d record was of use!
	10:36am Tome: .. lines up for Single File !!
	10:37am mains hum: fingers xd for blackfoot
	10:37am d¢ pät: ho boy....
	10:37am northguineahills: Wow, that's worse then pelting santa w/ snowballs, who doesn't like Dr. John?
	10:38am Kurt Gottschalk: more disgusting southern rock band names than wet willie? is this a challenge?
	10:38am Cecile: Okay, we'll see how long we last. hahahhaha It lookes like I dodged a few bullets, but I did miss ZZ Top :(
	10:39am beavoux: Wet Wille from LA, lower Alabama
	10:39am Cecile: you got the Amazing Rhythm Aces's Third Rate Romance?
	10:39am KP: beavoux, Blue Oyster Cult is from Long Island and i saw them a few times, maybe even with the Allmans. They were actually from Stony Brook, which has a big university and was a great place for shows. I also saw them as the Stalk Forest Group just before they changed the name.
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: An omlette sounds good right now.
	10:39am northguineahills: damn, I'm hungry, good thing I know of Southern restaurant nearby.
	10:39am d¢ pät: I didn't last long Cecile. I'll just monitor for a while...
	10:39am βrian: Well doesn't that just sway your beard??
	10:40am Cletus: I'll see your wet willie and raise you a brown willie
	10:40am Cecile: That is awesome KP. Yeah, BOC are totally Lon Gisland.
	10:40am KP: Oh gawd, Wet Willie.
	10:40am Utopiast: @nortguineahills Understood. It was a bizarre scene. I felt sorry for the guy. It was a bad match. Phili fans just were not into him. I haven't seen such behavior before or since.
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: @KP did Blue Oyster Cult used to be known as Soft White Underbelly?
	10:43am ?: Sorry for the faux pas, but does anyone have a clue as to what was playing in the Dummer stream just now? the title was "Fox - untitled", it featured some swinging 60s groves + cat yowlings (maybe Japanese?)
	10:43am Cecile: yeah, and they used to play "secret" gigs under that name when they were BOC.
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: @? contact Doug he can tell you.
	10:44am Cecile: Oh! Got the Cate Brothers?
	10:45am beavoux: @KP I saw them in 74 in ATL the openers were Manfred Mann's Earth Band and at the bottom of the bill KISS.
	10:45am Joe McG: @Cecile: Thought about it, but they're a bit too country rock for this show, I think.
	10:46am coelacanth: Hey Joe. i,for once,get to hear you as you play, and this is what i get? ..A flashback to my southern rock immersion program in 1970's new jersey.
	10:46am Cecile: Which one? The Cates or the Rhythm Aces?
	10:47am Cletus: John Cougar Menstralcramp got knocked out for four songs by a whiskey bottle in AZ and came back out stitched up
	10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: I checked both out and was getting serious Western swing type vibes, although the Cates Gang LP was in the running. Maybe I'll include them both on the sequel!
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: @Joe if Barefoot Jerry is in. Do Area Code 615 count?
	10:49am Cletus: In a hard hat , and played Hurt So Good
	10:49am Utopiast: @Cletus Oh, those damn whiskey bottles and associated cramps.
	10:49am mains hum: John Cougar (as he called himself then) opened for the Kinks and tried to start a chant of "fuck you John Cougar" but the crowd wasn't interested
	10:49am Joe McG: @Cletus: Ha ha ha! I love John Cougar, though, I'm proud of him.
	10:50am Philthy woman: wow, that guitar sound was almost therimin like for a sec!
	10:51am Cecile: Third Rate Romance? It's a slow kind of wry ballad.
	10:51am Utopiast: Logging off, Joe. Great show. Enjoy everybody. Later.
	10:52am Brendan: Great line: Whiskey bottles and brand new cars, Oak tree your in my way
	10:52am Dean: Before he was John Cougar, he was Johnny Cougar. He opened for...who the heck was it?...at the Whisky on Sunset many, many years ago.
	10:53am Cecile: And the Cate Brothers's Union Man was a funk number that actually charted a bit. And Duane played this viciously tight uptempo gospel blues number that i have to look up.
	10:53am Brendan: Shhh he's gonna talk....
	10:54am Dean: Shoot, it was The Jam!
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: @Dean he opened for The Doors or The Doors slammed in his face.
	10:54am Cecile: YES.
	10:54am beavoux: I Saw Mellecamp on his last tour he was great. I hated him in the 80s though.
	10:55am Brendan: CCR sounds southern
	10:55am Dean: He tried to pose as a punk. Wore a long trench coat and swaggered around the stage.
	10:55am Stevel: Enjoying this particular show and its appropriate level of music-nerdiness.
	10:57am Dean: Ergo, no Jimmy LaFave.
	10:57am main hams: FOGHAT were BRITISH?!?!?! reboot.....
	10:57am beavoux: Yes Elvin is mentioned in the South's gonna do it again.
	10:57am Brendan: So no Rush today?
	10:57am steve: hi Joe. been listening since 9, i am loving this.
	10:57am Cecile: Yield Not Into Temptation is the song.
	10:57am will: Elvin Bishop started out with Paul Butterfield in Chicago right?
	10:57am Dean: Not even Mahogany Rush.
	10:58am crateslinger: Anybody remember the K-tel television offering of a compilation album entitled, "Southern Fried Rock"? I grew up listening to this stuff... in Massachusetts. I'm glad you guys aren't making to much fun. Still love it. How bout some Jonathan or Edgar Winters? Frankenstein!
	10:58am beavoux: That's Southern Canada
	10:58am Cecile: tom petty!
	10:59am northguineahills: Tom Petty was originally from gainesville, fl, before moving to LA.
	10:59am northguineahills: (I used to live in gainesville, I have many tom petty stories)
	11:01am coelacanth: okay,it's getting better!
	11:01am KP: Brian you are right re: BOC and Soft White Underbelly. But they were also the Stalk Forest Group and i saw them as that, and also as pre-cowbell BOC, within a couple of weeks.
	11:01am Joe McG: Hey, Steve! Thanks to everyone who's stuck with me since the beginning!
	11:01am main hams: nice, Dean
	11:01am coelacanth: most of single file was okay,too.
	11:02am Brendan: Did they ever catch that killer in Gainesville who decapitated people?
	11:02am beavoux: Not TP singing
	11:02am coelacanth: (...i'm trying!)
	11:03am northguineahills: yep, they caught him less then a year after it happened. There's still a large mural memorial for the victims.
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: Fidelity is being true to your missus or ole man that or being a Kooban.
	11:03am drr: I have that Southern Fried Rock comp, it has an illustration of a big ol' fried egg on the cover.
	11:03am KP: i should get that fairly recent Mudcrutch album. They (Petty) do an awesome version of the Byrds' "Lover of the Bayou."
	11:03am Dean: TP label mate Dwight Twilley is from Tulsa, but he's less Southern Rock than Foghat.
	11:04am Holly in NC: JJOOEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everybody :-)
	11:04am Brendan: Whew!
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: @KP American Girl, say no more.
	11:05am Joe McG: HOLLY! So good to see you!!
	11:06am johnk77: Jim Lenahan was the original lead singer for Mudcrutch. When I met him in 1980 he was lighting designer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and a good guy.
	11:06am Cecile: Mother's Finest were pretty damn Southern.
	11:06am KP: Right! McGuinn was shocked to hear that was not himself singing American Girl
	11:07am KP: Poor poor Toy Caldwell.
	11:07am Holly in NC: So good to be here!!!!!!!!!!! Any Dixie Dregs coming up, or are they not rockin' enou- oh never mind, just saw you already played. Should've known!
	11:07am Joe McG: Thanks for the info, johnk77! I did have some songs with Petty singing lead, including a pretty good "Not Fade Away," but I went with the song I liked best.
	11:08am beavoux: Foghat were blues rock, they came out of Savoy Brown one of the first British blues bands along with Fleetwood Mac. Nothing "southern" about their sound.
	11:08am Brendan: After this show when I get home this evening I'm going to do some porching
	11:09am Cecile: I liked Toy's voice a lot.
	11:09am paul b: Marshall Tucker Band! My best friend, George, moved from Holliston Mass down to Spartanburg GA during high school. But when I think southern rock I think of being stationed at NAS Key West a year or so later when the favourite son there was the Pat Travers band and the song Crash and Burn
	👻 11:09am Brian in UK: @beauvoux southern over here is somewhere near Brighton.
	11:10am beavoux: Spartanburg is in South Carolina
	11:10am Brendan: Stinkfoot!
	11:10am coelacanth: i never thought of foghat as "southern" sounding....But then i never thought of zz top as "southern rock" either.
	11:11am main hams: Well, the drawlin "aint no country boy" had me fooled
	11:11am DeaconDave: BLACKFOOT!
	11:11am Holly in NC: @beavoux - the big urban legend in my Connecticut HS was that our (wonderful) school nurse = the mother of 2 members of Foghat. ??!! So not possible, but pre-internet much easier to suspend disbelief, in all ways. Plus, young.
	11:11am Dean: I'm guessing Chinga Chavin doesn't make the cut, either?
	11:12am beavoux: @brian Right! Cheers.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Dean: Ha! I don't think I can play "Asshole from El Paso" on regular radio.
	11:12am sam hain: silliest freebird mockup evr!
	11:13am paul b: Beavoux: You're right, brain freeze. My friend actually moved to a town called Inman anyway
	11:13am MD: I'm going up to the woods tonight to build me a still!!!
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: There is a small town just south of London called Leatherhead. I am sure you folks have got much sillier names. Oh just remembered Wet Wang up north.
	11:15am Dean: Still another label mate of Petty, Twilley, Leon Russell, etc.: Larry Hosford. He's not even Southern California, but his early Shelter albums have a nice folky country sound. Russell and George Harrison play on one of them.
	11:15am coelacanth: i got here at the charlie daniels conversation,but i scrolled up to see "Beaverteeth" -Great band name!
	11:15am main hams: WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A STEEYALL?
	11:15am Cecile: I'm gonna have a fish fry in the parking lot at work.
	11:16am Brendan: Freebird part 2 ( now with 50% more guitars!)
	11:16am DeaconDave: I still like "Blue Ball" and "Intercourse" . . . towns in Pensyltucky
	11:16am bobdoesthings: @md I know there are a few boutique-ish "authentic" distilleries that try to sell "moonshine" in fancy bottles to yuppie tourists in the south, sell your hooch to hipsters
	11:16am Brendan: Jammin dudes
	11:17am Dean: Copping Ronnie Lane here.
	11:18am ron: how incredibly cool to stumble on an entire show of southern rock thank you
	11:18am rw: I've got a still in a closet somewheres. It may be time to ferment something and dig the thing out.
	11:18am coelacanth: [coxsackie,ny]
	11:19am DeaconDave: Hohokus, NJ
	11:20am Joe McG: My pleasure, Ron!
	11:20am Rectitude: tac
	11:20am beavoux: Another not southern band are Ram Jam (Black Betty bam a lam), they were formed in NYC.
	11:20am Brendan: Dicky must be nicely lubricated , he's singing this song to a plant.
	11:20am DCE: here come the stacked triplets
	11:21am KP: Dickie Betts is the BEST!
	11:21am EzSezz: Dicky Betts! Nuff said.
	11:21am Cecile: DeaconDave, the "Moon/Beaver" exit still makes me giggle.
	11:22am Captain Sunday: My bets on dicky, nuff said
	11:22am nickybones: of all days to tune in late. will definitely be rockin' the archive later. nice work, joe!
	11:23am Brendan: He recycled the 1 st solo from blue sky almost verbatim
	11:23am Tim BK: When Dicky Betts was released from jail, he had a cut-off jean jacket with "Eat Shit" in large letters embroidered on the back. How this guy wrote such pretty music is a mystery.
	11:23am DeaconDave: What about Cheesequake, NJ? What is that?
	11:23am KP: I saw what is officially deemed the world premier of Blue Skies (Stony Brook).
	11:23am coelacanth: Brendan -yeah he did.
	11:23am βrian: Abolitionist States' Rock next week?
	11:24am beavoux: That's Dangerous Dan Toller on the other guitar. He later joined the ABB
	11:24am DeaconDave: How about Amish music?
	11:24am KP: Tim BK. That is a mystery! He was kicked out of the Allman Brothers for being a mess, which takes some doing.
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: @Tim BK reminds me of Nigel Tufnell and Lick My Love Pump.
	11:25am Chris M.: favorite Surface Noise show ever
	11:25am Dan: I'll be taking the download of this show on a float of the Edisto river this weekend ! Cheers from Charleston South Cacalackey !!!!
	11:25am common: bless you, capricorn
	11:25am KP: The Allmans with Dickie and Dangerous Dan renewed the spirit.
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: The Average White Band were too funky AND Scottish.
	11:26am Dean: All shape note singing, all the time.
	11:26am Matt from Springfield: Hey Joe! Can't listen in live from here, but man what a playlist! AND a Southern Rock Single File too (I was hoping! :) Will very much enjoy this Archive! :D
	11:26am DCE: I'd wager that the southern rock is generating more comments per capita than anything else
	11:27am DCE: hi MfS!
	11:27am Matt from Springfield: Hey DCE!
	11:27am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Good to see you!!
	11:27am Tim BK: Dickie and Duane, tough to come up with a better guitar pair and both as different as night and day.
	11:27am Holly in NC: As part of training for the 2nd college station I worked at, one needed to make a "cart" promoting said station (yep, just dated myself immensely). My ex-husband & I were training together, and somehow we made a pretty kickass cart incorporating the flute breakdown from Marshall Tucker's "Can't You See", Laura Dern's "Sailor Ripley, you get me some music on that radio this instant! I mean it!" rant from Wild at Heart, Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" and Rock Hyrax calls courtesy of the NC Zoo in Asheboro. Again, so young, but actually it was really good ;-) This is back when liking Pavement was really deep & edgy.
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: Joe got to run an urgent errand. Usual top job. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
	11:28am beavoux: Yes that Enlightened Rogues was good as I recall.
	11:29am Matt from Springfield: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrian! @Joe: This warrants a thank you in advance!
	11:30am rw: @Holly, your next assignment: get that cart to Joe in the next 15 min.
	11:31am Chris from DC: Won't be long til the Outlaws now will it?
	11:31am Matt from Springfield: Not just Skynyrd/Atlanta Rhythm Section/Marshall Tucker/ZZ Top, you made sure to include BOA, Molly Hatchet, Elvin Bishop, Dickey Betts! And Mudcrutch! You did this show well Joe! A deep fried special!
	11:31am beavoux: "You boys have the same spirit that E had"
	11:31am Ken: Wow Joe. You're going deep today. Nobody's every played Beaverteeth on FMU before. I would like to point out that the veru first LP in our building, which we used as a measuring device for building shelves and such, was a Wet Willie LP.
	11:31am KP: Lonnie MAcK!
	11:32am mans haim: Joe there's not much time left for Dire Straits, REM and Black Crowes
	11:32am Joe McG: @Ken: That's a fantastic omen. Thanks for the info, Ken!
	11:32am Cecile: travelling bone. hehehehhe
	11:33am Captain Sunday: REM wasn't sent an invitation.
	11:34am Cecile: or the Spiritual Beggars. Sweden's finest Southern Rock band.
	11:35am Philthy woman: Hi Common, are you seeing the jacket over the shoulder and the shaggy strut down along the old highway?
	11:35am Cecile: what about Little Feat?
	11:35am William Faulkner: Freebird!
	11:36am Dean: Absalom! Absalom!
	11:36am Tome: the Outlaws yea !!!!
	11:36am Dean: Just picked up this album for two bucks.
	11:36am Parq: Had to work but back for the big finish. KP talked about seeing these bands. I note that I saw at least five of them, separately counting the Brothers and Wet Willy as their opening act. Saw CDB do a 17 minutes set, as an opener, can't even remember for whom. He was riding high at that time with a top 40 hit, that talking blues about dealing with rednecks. Can't help but wonder how that song would come out if he wrote it now.
	11:37am beavoux: Dire straits aren't southern and the Black Crowes play Faces style music
	11:37am Dean: Better take a potty break, folks. This goes on for twenty minutes.
	11:37am man haims: there MUSTA been an album called the sound and the fury
	11:37am KP: I am looking for my lighter
	11:37am bobdoesthings: I... I don't know if I.. can take this much longer.
	11:37am DCE: my god I've heard this SO MANY TIMES in my life...probably can't hear it with fresh ears at this point.
	11:37am beavoux: The live version no less ugggh.
	11:38am Parq: Outlaws is one of the bands I saw, actually. Great musicians, but dumb as dirt when it came to 'tween-song patter.
	11:38am ron: I know he doesn't fit the format but anyone who likes southern rock should check out rory Gallagher
	11:38am KP: I saw the Outlaws. I think they did this one.
	11:38am Stevel: The Outlaws! Lucky enough to have an am station in Denver that played the live version of GGaHT. Awesome stuff. More Freebird than Freebird. (I think you've hit a nerve here!)
	11:39am beavoux: I can go do all my laundry and this thing will still be going!
	11:39am Holly in NC: @rw - I fear cart disappeared long ago, and it's way, way, too hot to go in my attic & look for all my show cassettes (which are probably melted anyway).. Heck, I would KILL for a copy myself!
	11:40am Dean: If endless Southern rock guitar jams are outlawed, only outlaws will have endless Southern rock guitar jams.
	11:40am Tome: the poor man's freebird , whipping post ..
	11:41am KP: ron, the best "southern rock" is just talented guys jamming. The Allmans were closely associated with Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green days). Basically the Grateful Dead loved ABB and helped them break out.
	11:41am Chris from DC: Stevel: yes exactly.
	11:41am DCE: Hughie and Freddie have those bitchin' tones, though
	11:41am Captain Sunday: Frreeeeeeebirrrrrrrrd
	11:41am Kathy: I saw ALL these bands. Charlie Daniels was true shit kickin fun. I would go see the DKs or Circle Jerks one weekend and Marshall Tucker the next - got a lot of crap back then for appreciating both sides.
	11:41am KP: Joe do have Freebird/Baby I love Your Way back there.
	11:42am beavoux: Rory, great Irish BLUES rock player.
	11:43am rw: Are we still on "Green Grass and High Tides"?
	11:43am KP: Not yet into the High Tides part.
	11:44am Chris from DC: This one I've always had a soft spot for.
	11:44am DCE: so much grass..
	11:44am coelacanth: i already hated "southern rock" by the time this came out,so never listened to it that closely -though i've heard it a hundred times,easily...So i can actually listen to as fresh -sort of. ...and Yes! Rory Gallagher!
	11:44am Kurt Gottschalk: i was never a southern rock fan and i'm still not but oddly enough i don't want this to end.
	11:44am Dean: That was the hair tossin' part.
	11:44am beavoux: Just getting started like the first hundred years in the grave.
	11:45am Tome: it's groovy every now and then you have to get it out of your system ...
	11:45am Captain Sunday: @Kathy, know what you mean. Had my Black Sabbath, Judas Priest albums mixed in with my ABBA albums. Friend's were all WTF? Kids don't draw distinctions now days. A good thing.
	11:45am Cecile: I doin't have super strong feelings one way or another for it. The musicianship is good, and the shit-kicking persona makes me smile.
	11:46am Holly in NC: @Joe - awesome show. BTW, My favorite LS song = "Simple Man", but I can't imagine you not playing "Freebird", because, well, Freebird. I need to find a lighter.
	11:46am Cecile: My favorite performers at one time were Ornette Coleman, Judas Priest, feedtime and Womack and Womack. Yeah, I was weird.
	11:47am Dean: Wanna test your friends' tolerance level? Throw in a couple albums of Renaissance dance music.
	11:47am Chris from DC: Pretty great version here.
	11:47am tikk: I extend my arm and light my bic, snuggly nestled in its metal holder with inlaid turquoise, for you Joe. And yelleth through the smokey haze, "Freebird!"
	11:47am Joe McG: Apologies to all the great Southern rock bands I didn't get around to today: George Hatcher, Mose Jones, Garfeel Ruff, Oklahoma, Jackson Highway, etc., etc. etc. But I'm sure you'll all agree this song is worth it!
	11:48am Parq: Okay, I can't deny it, I am digging the daylights out of these solos.
	11:48am coelacanth: Allmans,while Duane was around; and Grateful Dead,while Pig Pen was around, were not southern rock at all. They were influenced much as the "brit-blues-rock"bands were. (as KP said!)
	11:48am beavoux: The singer takes a nap here
	11:49am Joe McG: OH, YEAH, and the Allman Brothers. How could I forget 'em? :)
	11:49am DCE: nah beavoux he's too busy playing the guitar...they had two other guitarists as well.
	11:49am KP: Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws was the driving force of the revamped Lynyrd Skynyrd. He died soon after rejoining the Outlaws,
	11:50am Captain Sunday: Tedeschi-Trucks playing in my town this month. This set inspires me to buy tickets. Must think...
	11:50am rw: May be a Southern Rock II in our future.
	11:50am Holly in NC: @Cecile - that's a great weird!
	11:50am Dean: Allman on Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime," lord.
	11:50am DCE: Hughie is dead? that I did not know
	11:50am beavoux: Whatever
	11:50am Lizardner Dave: In my mind this is the "Uh, oh, Station Manager Ken is dealing with an emergency song".
	11:50am Guido from Cologne: I have a certain sentimental connection to the Outlaws since "Hurry Sundown" was among my teenage single collection (giveto me from left overs from some jukebox service).
	11:51am rw: Joe, have you put away all the records and cleaned up the studio yet?
	11:51am KP: Yes, coelacanth. there's a fantastic boot of the dead at the Fillmore East doing Lovelight for 40 minutes. Duane, Berry, Peter Green and others are in on it.
	11:51am Captain Sunday: I can't believe I'm not bored with this song.
	11:51am coelacanth: Dean -yes! i could hear that right about now!
	11:52am beavoux: My fingers got stuck
	11:52am Guido from Cologne: Allman Brothers "Black Hearted Woman" ! ...
	11:52am Chris from DC: There had to be a drum solo, right?
	11:52am Captain Sunday: Not a drum solo...please god no
	11:52am DCE: but of course!
	11:52am Kurt Gottschalk: i <3 joe mcg for apologizing to all the great southern rock bands he didn't get around to today
	11:52am KP: Hugh Edward Thomasson, Jr. was an American guitarist and singer, best known as a founding member of Outlaws and as a guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Wikipedia Born: August 13, 1952, Tampa, FL Died: September 9, 2007, Brooksville, FL
	11:53am Dean: Union rules, axemen get to take a break.
	11:53am Holly in NC: @tikk - I TOO HAD A METAL BIC HOLDER WITH INLAID TURQUOISE, a present from my best friend. Oh. Now I miss the holder and my best friend so, so much.
	11:53am KP: Nooooo!
	11:53am Parq: Oddly, Chris, I was just thinking that these guys could usually pull off a drum solo better than straight-up rawk bands.
	11:53am KP: At least they only had one drummer.
	11:53am beavoux: Final stretch? Alas no. The dreaded drum solo.
	11:53am Parq: I'll admit, that's not setting the bar very high.
	11:53am coelacanth: KP -I MUST HEAR THAT! Peter AND Duane?!..AND Jerry?!
	11:54am Joe McG: Well, I'm nearly done here, folks...thanks for holding your lighters aloft, and I'll see you next week! Hope you enjoyed the show.
	11:54am rw: We're still on "Green Grass and High Tides", right?
	11:54am beavoux: It started at 11:37
	11:54am Brendan: Heres some light (wiki)reading on the song while it plays , quoted from the founding Outlaw member Henry Paul, "From what I gather, there was an album out, the best of The Rolling Stones, called 'High Tides and Green Grass.' That was the name of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits - this is like 1966 - and I think it was a manifestation of that title turned in reverse, 'Green Grass and High Tides.' I know that much. And I know that it was a song written for rock and roll illuminaries, from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, and it had nothing to do with marijuana. But it had to do with, I think, a specific person's [Thomasson's] lyrical look at rock and roll legends. 'As kings and queens bow and play for you.' It's about Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. 'Castles of stone, soul and glory.' A lot of it is just sort of a collage of words that really don't have all that much to do with anything, they just fit and sounded right. But I have to say it's one of my favorite lyrics. My songwriting is more Steinbeck, really rooted in accuracy and reality; this is definitely Alice In Wonderland. It's the whole 'White Rabbit.' It's sort of like one of those magic lyrical moments that will forever be mysteriously, unclearly conceived."
	11:54am Dean: Next week: all the Bruckner symphonies, slowed down.
	11:54am DCE: so many Saturday nights...
	11:55am Chris from DC: All yacht rock next?
	11:55am Tome: the end is the best part actually last noted on the guitar,, !
	11:55am Captain Sunday: You could play Thin Lizzy's "Banshee" from "Nightlife" and it would most certainly fit in here.
	11:55am Dean: Steinbeck! Go figure. So Larry Hosford (Salinas) isn't so remote after all.
	11:55am Dan: Nothing like psychedelic boogie !!!!
	11:55am Cecile: I kinda of tuned it out, and got a lot of work done. Yay!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: oh mannn.... can't believe I made it through..albeit a great show, thanks joe.
	11:56am Tim BK: This song smells like spilled bong water in the rug
	11:56am KP: Coelecanth it is unbelieveable. Unfortunately when i moved from a huge house to an apartment, the bootlegs di not make it. but google the key names and im sure it will pop up.
	11:56am rw: Woo!!! Yeah!!!
	11:56am coelacanth: KP,i did mean Jerry; but,did you mean Berry Oakley? (....i gotta find that.)
	11:56am Cecile: Chris from DC, consult with Duane about that. He has a way of finding some really bent Yacht Rock.
	11:56am KP: Brendan, v nice.
	11:57am beavoux: Wheeeeaww only 20mins
	11:58am Cecile: I remember so vividly hearing about the Skynyd plane crash in school right before a pep assembly.
	11:58am Parq: photos1.blogger.com...
	11:58am KP: Henry Paul now fronts the Outlaws. He had been out for while. I think only original guy.
	11:58am Cecile: and then everyone going "ooooooh" at That Smell
	11:58am Captain Sunday: "This song smells like spilled bong water in the rug" LOL
	11:58am common: great joe! thanks!
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: You've outdone yourself, McGasko. See you in September!
	11:58am beavoux: Should have played Whipping Post instead.
	11:58am KP: Great show, joe.
	11:59am Brendan: Joe - i need a quiet room for like a month- perhaps solitary confinement. Thank you for the 3 hour ( day) southern polooza!
	11:59am Sem Chumbo: :-D
	11:59am coelacanth: Thank you Joe.
	11:59am DCE: lotta fun, man!
	11:59am mains hum: yahoo!
	11:59am Jason: Fun show Joe, enjoyed it a ton, thanks!
	11:59am Tim BK: Bravo Joe!!!!! Def one to listen to over and over...
	12:00pm rw: Woo!! Yeah!!!
	12:00pm Dean: Is this the "Lovelight"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xNm2nVETZc
	12:00pm Brendan: Go home people - get up outta the grass and take youJack Daniels empties off my farm fields
	12:00pm Brendan: And stay awY from the sheep
	3:19pm ccrides: Dang..!..I missed this show when it aired live, but must say it really hits the spot, for me..!..Such a program has got to be a first for WFMU???...Thanks Joe!!!...:)O(:...
	3:29am On the Yazoo: Found this show scanning the archives.. You nailed it.
	1:22am creaturecity: Shake a leg shake a leg. Marking the year since I heard the second half of this show and saved 128k mp3. Have to believe alot of Peavey equipment heard here. Shake a leg shake a leg

	9:16am KP: Good morning, Joe. Just had an apartment inspection. I think they saw the Paper Lace LP.
	9:16am beavoux: Jackson Browne song later covered by G Allman
	9:16am Joe McG: @KP: Uh-oh, you'll never pass.
	9:16am DJ Stashu: All this makes me wish I was driving in a car. With the radio blasting. Hopefully it would be, like, a rural road, so I wouldn't have to worry about other cars. But there's still the deer. Always gotta worry about the deer. And jack rabbits. They're huge.
	9:17am KP: So Nico is country rock?
	9:17am Joe McG: @Stashu: I want to upgrade you to a pick-up truck for this trip!
	9:18am DJ Stashu: With rust please. And a dusty window-shield. Wipers that don't work for crap.
	9:18am mains hum: Rockin the Joemore!
	9:19am duke: You need an 8-track in that pickup truck.
	9:19am beavoux: Right Nico had a fling with Jackson Browne she did it first. In 1967
	9:19am northguineahills: It's funny how I avoided Southern Rock in my youth b/c it was omnipresent, then once I moved to NYC, I had to get some SR vinyl, b/c something was missing from my daily ambiance.
	9:19am bobdoesthings: hello! im here and im southern rock ready!
	9:20am nate: saw dickey betts
	9:21am Marcel M: Woahhh Beaverteeth! What a name!
	9:22am PKNY: Odds are that no band name will beat Beaverteeth during this set.
	9:23am northguineahills: reminds me of a certain movie....
	9:23am Shelby Foote: Joe i'd like thank you for a most auspicious morning.
	9:23am Scott Williams: just in time for Beaverteeth!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Marcel and PKNY: You oughta see the cover.
	9:25am thedunkel: BEAVERTEETH!!
	9:25am Joe McG: Big props to Scott Williams for picking up the Beaverteeth record for me during my record store ban.
	9:25am PKNY: @Joe - woah! i.ebayimg.com...$_57.JPG
	9:26am bobdoesthings: 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:26am bobdoesthings: is that it?
	9:26am PKNY: Oops, broken link. s.pixogs.com...
	9:28am Rev. Turnip Druid: Peace beechawl.
	9:30am Jim Devoid: Great show!
	9:30am Joe McG: Peace, Reverend. I hope you will bestow your blessing on this endeavor.
	9:30am βrian: So what qualifies? Anything from south of Toledo? Makes sense to me. ("Thar be monsters.")
	9:30am Bill Faulkner: Say... This show is catchy.
	9:31am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, anything southerly. Buckacre may be the one exception, but it's SO Southern Rock, we'll give Illinois honorary status today.
	9:33am beavoux: Toledo? No that would be south of the Ohio River, Cincinatti
	9:34am βrian: I've been to the Illinois river valley. Yep. South.
	9:34am beavoux: So REM
	9:35am Brendan: Speaking of the Illini, you'd be remiss if you didn't play Mr. Lincoln, by Hank Jr
	9:35am Marcel M: Haaaa! Love the background music.
	9:35am βrian: Joe IS Southern Man.
	9:35am common: this is fabulous!
	9:36am DJ Stashu: Beaverteeth. Just wanted to type that.
	9:36am Parq: I expect the playlist is already set, but for the record, the Brothers number that still sends me into orbit is "Mem. of Elizabeth Reed".
	9:37am beavoux: Don't forget the Outlaws.
	9:38am KP: There was a guy in Australia named Billy Thorpe who was kind of great and sounded very southern rock.
	9:38am DeaconDave: Is Black Oak Arkansas considered southern rock?
	9:39am bobdoesthings: www.bigvjamboree.com...
	9:39am Marcel M: Black Oak Arkansas!
	9:39am Marcel M: Hah! Read my mind Deacon. I believe they are.
	9:39am northguineahills: I've said it before, but in HS I was friends w/ Lynyrd Skynyrd's drummer's (Artemis Pyle) son. Crazy lad. (yes, I grew up outside Jacksonville).
	9:39am PKNY: @DeaconDave - BOA is southern rock!
	9:39am duke: I grew up in the heart of Pennsyltucky. Southern rock was BIG down there when I was young, along with metal and soul. I was into soul mostly, so this stuff is kind of new to me.
	9:39am Marcel M: Bob... that is an amazing cover hahahhahahha
	9:39am KP: And don't forget Wishbone Ash, the English Allman Brothers.
	9:40am beavoux: I grew up in the south in The 70s Never heard of Beaverteeth
	9:40am DeaconDave: Love to hear "Gravel Road" by BOA
	9:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: Bestowing blessings like a house on FAH...
	9:40am DeaconDave: Shall I collect the offering Reverend?
	9:41am Lonely Planet Boy: wanted to post comment close to 9:00, "Turn it Up".
	9:41am d¢ pät: 'lo, Joe.
	9:41am Greg from Bloomfield: I missed Beaverteeth! God dam it.
	9:42am KP: I saw Black Oak Arkansas long time ago. Yeah, they were like Southern Metal, same thing sort of.
	9:42am Jeff: I went through an odd phase in my youth (well, many, but I speak of one on particular): for awhile, I decided I didn't like vocals. During that time, the Dixie Dregs were my particular jam.
	9:43am βrian: I saw the Black Oak Arkansas tour bus once. That was good enough for me.
	9:43am Joe McG: @KP: No Brits today. Being very purist! There will be BOA. Soon.
	9:44am sphere: its odd, but i find that a fair amount of Southern Rock has a Dead-ish feel.
	9:45am Joe McG: @sphere: A bit, yeah! A lot of them were hippies.
	9:45am βrian: I had a different problem with vocals. I could hear them only as music, not language. I was always astounded that people would hear — and remember — lyrics.
	9:46am Parq: I remember that the two groups had overlapping fan bases
	9:46am bobdoesthings: @sphere - also feels oddly like white people trying to do gospel
	9:46am common: i am now 8 years old...again.
	9:47am northguineahills: redneck hippies are a particular breed. Many are pretty cool, but some embody the worse of both stereotypes.
	9:47am beavoux: I saw Grinderswitch open for someone in the 70s Named after the hometown of Minnie Pearl
	9:47am DCE: dig that steel!
	9:48am Darly Channels and Tarshall Mucker: Joe rocks!
	9:49am Joe McG: @beavoux: I'll bite. What's Minnie Pearl's hometown?
	9:51am βrian: Sounds like Sinnerville.
	9:51am beavoux: Grinder's Switch TN !
	9:52am d¢ pät: despite growing up in Pennsyltucky as well (born KY, grew up PA), I have zero connection with this stuff. I'm digging this slide lead though....
	9:53am Joe McG: @beavoux: Ha ha ha!
	9:53am bobdoesthings: some of this stuff is bringing back memories of when Tom Scharpling would play Pig Pen from the Dead. and then rant about how bad pig pen was.
	9:54am PKNY: To me, ZZ Top transcends Southern Rock, but I will never complain about hearing them in any context.
	9:54am KP: Brian, having seen them, you said it!
	9:54am beavoux: @joe I forgot to put a comma there. And who they opened for.
	9:55am northguineahills: Against my better judgement, faving this epispde. Pig Pen was one of the better influences on the Dead.
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. What's all this then.
	9:55am Rectitude: ThE coMMentS SO FAr aRe BrillIant
	9:56am βrian: Travis peaked as a male baby name in 1979 at number 36.
	9:56am Lonely Planet Boy: I moved from New Brunswick, NJ, to southeastern Va. in late summer of '76, at the start of freshman year of high school. Got an instant immersion in Southern rock.
	9:57am KP: ZZ Top might look like dirtbags but they are not Southern Rock. For one thing all of them are still alive.
	9:58am beavoux: Yeah, Texas is South but also West of the Mississppi, it's real different there than say Georgia.
	9:58am d¢ pät: ZZ Top will always be the Moving Sidewalks to me...
	9:58am herb.nyc: So, is Diane Kamikaze here yet? I JOKE! This stuff is alien to me, but i can groove to it.
	9:58am Marcel M: I never thought of ZZ in the southern rock context, but it makes sense. I think it fits... Texas schmexus... its all down there!
	9:59am Santos L Halper: Hey Joe! Will have to mostly listen on archive, but looks like plenty of gems that I missed growing up down here in Dixie. Y'oughtta make this a yearly show IMO. Play it pretty!
	9:59am KP: A guy i knew was huge Molly Hatchet fan. He would proudly claim they were the first southern rock band to have every member croak.
	10:00am beavoux: I'm seeing ZZ in a couple of weeks with Jeff Beck in ATL.
	10:00am Joe McG: Will do, Santos!
	10:01am Marcel M: There is a "rig rundown" video from Premier Guitar on Billy Gibbons, and it takes place at Kid Rock's house, and at the end they do a little jam with Kid Rock... its pretty funny.
	10:01am βrian: ZZ Top reminds me of the south of France. (Long story). In any case, I hold that there's no such band as "Zed Zed Top."
	10:01am KP: I saw Charlie Daniels get booed off stage in Central Park. His original group was set up and sounded just like ABB. NYC was crazy about the Brothers and didnt dig it.
	10:02am Joe McG: @KP: Shame! CDB cooks.
	10:02am KP: At that time they did not have own sound or approach at all.
	10:04am Marcel M: Ah yes... Provence France... Listening to ZZ Top and drinking fine wine and eating camembert...
	10:04am MD: i need to say this....HE..... HAW!!!!
	10:04am northguineahills: Damn, KP, I'd love to see Charlie Daniels.
	10:04am bobdoesthings: @marcel.. that's the dream
	10:04am Marcel M: One day Bob... one day!
	10:05am PKNY: Jim Dandy is the man!
	10:05am Marcel M: Haha! Black Oak! This band is funny
	10:05am beavoux: Yet Molly Hatchett continue to exist despite having 14 former members and even more former touring players!
	10:05am mains hum: play that washboard, son
	10:05am βrian: Not fine wine, by any stretch. We referred to it as "high velocity" wine.
	10:06am beavoux: The original David Lee Roth.
	10:06am Marcel M: Hmmmm High Velocity... what region is that from?
	10:07am common: that does sound good marcel. good call, beavoux!
	10:07am KP: Also saw Billy Gibbons recently with Moving Sidewalks. THat was disappointing because it was really just him but watching that guy turn it on from 15 feet away was amazing.
	10:07am KP: Thanks for the BOA, Joe!
	10:07am PKNY: @beavoux - damn right. Watching old BOA clips, you see how much of an influence Jim Dandy was on DLR.
	10:08am Cork: this song is awesome
	10:09am PKNY: @KP - that reminds me, I still need to pick up that Moving Sidewalks comp, everything I've heard off of that has been facemelting.
	10:09am northguineahills: what Cork said!
	10:09am Marcel M: What the hell does the title of this song have to do with anything? haha
	10:10am βrian: It spans regions and bears no scrutiny or contemplation. Pinard is another term for it.
	10:10am beavoux: Mutants of the Monster!
	10:11am Tim BK: Great show Joe! from an ATL native they used to play a lot of these gems on the two classic rock stations, one Z93 would full sides of albums. After the show check out a live ripping version of Call Me the Breeze by Skynyrd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsIqEq9OFxE
	10:11am Kurt Gottschalk: mary mother of god i just tuned in, having forgotten.
	10:11am Marcel M: They get so metal at points
	10:11am Philthy woman: I liked the looney melt down that just went down... now wha?
	10:11am Jeff: When I was going to school in NC, I don't believe the music you've been playing was necessarily referred to as "Southern Rock". Another common name for it was... "music".
	10:11am Marcel M: Came in at a good moment Kurt
	10:12am Marcel M: Joe you are the master at being on time with your playlist!
	10:12am beavoux: Another good Texas band was Bloodrock.
	10:12am Brendan: Not coincidentally, the night electricity came to Arkansas as the very same night the lights went out in Georgia.
	10:13am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha!
	10:13am bobdoesthings: @marcel / joe - I concur. I super appreciate the DJ's that are good with the tracklists, it's the best!
	10:13am Brendan: It was a simple rectifier switch problem.
	10:14am sweir: Great set Joe. Thank you!
	10:15am common: hi philthy woman.
	10:16am Marcel M: Working early today bye guys have fun rockin'
	10:16am northguineahills: 38 Special, dayum, they were always on the radio.
	10:17am bobdoesthings: @marcel "early"
	10:17am Marcel M: Its all relative Bob!
	10:18am bobdoesthings: hehehe sorry had to poke fun
	10:18am beavoux: @northguinea Artimus Pyle, who was not the original drummer, was a nut himself. They kicked him out before any of the reunions.
	10:19am d¢ pät: is it safe to come back yet?
	10:19am Brendan: Nice cowbell but the question in my mind is Hurry Sundown or Green Grass or ?
	10:20am Rectitude: tic
	10:21am beavoux: Green Grass is longer than Freebird, wouldn't be any show left!
	10:23am Bodega Man: Digging this southern rock special. Makes me want to start drinking and smoking at 10am.
	10:23am Brendan: Yeah they were partial to 10 minute guitar breaks
	10:24am βrian: Oh oh. Are we getting into stereotypes now? Cuz if we are ...
	10:24am Brendan: The hatchet got axed
	10:25am beavoux: Get stoned in the mornin' and drunk in the afternoon.
	10:25am Brendan: Just stereo
	10:25am northguineahills: @beavoux: That would be b/c he became a registered sex offender. The Ronnie Van Zant's daughter lived down the street of one of my best friends.
	10:27am Utopiast: Can't remember the last time I woke up to Molly Hatchet.
	10:28am KP: Brendan, hahahahaa!
	10:28am sphere: these folks are rather blunt when they talk about getting laid.
	10:28am KP: Utopiast, if you do remember, let us know.
	10:28am Utopiast: But, I think it was during the Carter Administration.
	10:29am Parq: I'm slightly amazed at how many of these bands I remember. Haven't even thought of Mama's Pride in the best part of half a century.
	10:29am Utopiast: @KP Not a reliable recollection..,The 70s....
	10:29am KP: Georgia, makes sense
	10:30am mains hum: make you wanna go crawdad holin in the monin
	10:30am SeanG: lovin' the show, Joe!
	10:30am MD: THE HATCHET!!
	10:31am d¢ pät: I'm glad Molly Hatchet is dead.
	10:31am DCE: ((((visions leather cowboy hats and black boots in smoky bars...))))
	10:31am d¢ pät: But I love JoeM, mwah.
	10:31am Utopiast: @mains hum I assume you mean for the small wily crustacean
	10:31am DCE: poor Molly, god rest her soul
	10:31am common: thanks for the hatchet, joe
	10:31am KP: I saw a lot of these bands in the 70s, all as opening acts, except the Allmans. Most got booed off stage, but this was NY. The Allman Brothers were WAY different than these acts.
	10:31am beavoux: Seems like an eternity
	10:32am KP: Molly Hatchet does an amazing cover of the Allman's "Dreams."
	10:32am DCE: how much jukin' can one man do?
	10:32am Andrew Waterloo: I heard Joe's bed music in an Italian restaurant a couple weeks ago. It was followed by Back In Black.
	10:33am Matt F: I'm up in Studio C and before I figured out your show concept I had to look out the window to see who was listening to the Allmans in their car.
	10:33am MD: LECTRICITY!!!
	10:34am beavoux: I liked NY bands like Blue Oyster Cult!
	10:34am Utopiast: @KP I saw Dr, John get chased by thrown objects in Phili ('72) Not a pretty scene. Phili fans can be cruel. He was opening for Jeff Beck, if I recall correctly.
	10:34am d¢ pät: ah, phew!
	10:35am MD: Joe...can we hear the Devil's most beautiful Fiddle solo!?!?!
	10:35am Tome: what about the ,,, should I say "Outlaws" ... great set Joe you're pretty much covering it all , .. love it .
	10:35am MD: Johnny Had nothin' on Ol' NICK!!!
	10:36am Kurt Gottschalk: glad the chuck d record was of use!
	10:36am Tome: .. lines up for Single File !!
	10:37am mains hum: fingers xd for blackfoot
	10:37am d¢ pät: ho boy....
	10:37am northguineahills: Wow, that's worse then pelting santa w/ snowballs, who doesn't like Dr. John?
	10:38am Kurt Gottschalk: more disgusting southern rock band names than wet willie? is this a challenge?
	10:38am Cecile: Okay, we'll see how long we last. hahahhaha It lookes like I dodged a few bullets, but I did miss ZZ Top :(
	10:39am beavoux: Wet Wille from LA, lower Alabama
	10:39am Cecile: you got the Amazing Rhythm Aces's Third Rate Romance?
	10:39am KP: beavoux, Blue Oyster Cult is from Long Island and i saw them a few times, maybe even with the Allmans. They were actually from Stony Brook, which has a big university and was a great place for shows. I also saw them as the Stalk Forest Group just before they changed the name.
	👻 10:39am Brian in UK: An omlette sounds good right now.
	10:39am northguineahills: damn, I'm hungry, good thing I know of Southern restaurant nearby.
	10:39am d¢ pät: I didn't last long Cecile. I'll just monitor for a while...
	10:39am βrian: Well doesn't that just sway your beard??
	10:40am Cletus: I'll see your wet willie and raise you a brown willie
	10:40am Cecile: That is awesome KP. Yeah, BOC are totally Lon Gisland.
	10:40am KP: Oh gawd, Wet Willie.
	10:40am Utopiast: @nortguineahills Understood. It was a bizarre scene. I felt sorry for the guy. It was a bad match. Phili fans just were not into him. I haven't seen such behavior before or since.
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: @KP did Blue Oyster Cult used to be known as Soft White Underbelly?
	10:43am ?: Sorry for the faux pas, but does anyone have a clue as to what was playing in the Dummer stream just now? the title was "Fox - untitled", it featured some swinging 60s groves + cat yowlings (maybe Japanese?)
	10:43am Cecile: yeah, and they used to play "secret" gigs under that name when they were BOC.
	👻 10:44am Brian in UK: @? contact Doug he can tell you.
	10:44am Cecile: Oh! Got the Cate Brothers?
	10:45am beavoux: @KP I saw them in 74 in ATL the openers were Manfred Mann's Earth Band and at the bottom of the bill KISS.
	10:45am Joe McG: @Cecile: Thought about it, but they're a bit too country rock for this show, I think.
	10:46am coelacanth: Hey Joe. i,for once,get to hear you as you play, and this is what i get? ..A flashback to my southern rock immersion program in 1970's new jersey.
	10:46am Cecile: Which one? The Cates or the Rhythm Aces?
	10:47am Cletus: John Cougar Menstralcramp got knocked out for four songs by a whiskey bottle in AZ and came back out stitched up
	10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: I checked both out and was getting serious Western swing type vibes, although the Cates Gang LP was in the running. Maybe I'll include them both on the sequel!
	👻 10:49am Brian in UK: @Joe if Barefoot Jerry is in. Do Area Code 615 count?
	10:49am Cletus: In a hard hat , and played Hurt So Good
	10:49am Utopiast: @Cletus Oh, those damn whiskey bottles and associated cramps.
	10:49am mains hum: John Cougar (as he called himself then) opened for the Kinks and tried to start a chant of "fuck you John Cougar" but the crowd wasn't interested
	10:49am Joe McG: @Cletus: Ha ha ha! I love John Cougar, though, I'm proud of him.
	10:50am Philthy woman: wow, that guitar sound was almost therimin like for a sec!
	10:51am Cecile: Third Rate Romance? It's a slow kind of wry ballad.
	10:51am Utopiast: Logging off, Joe. Great show. Enjoy everybody. Later.
	10:52am Brendan: Great line: Whiskey bottles and brand new cars, Oak tree your in my way
	10:52am Dean: Before he was John Cougar, he was Johnny Cougar. He opened for...who the heck was it?...at the Whisky on Sunset many, many years ago.
	10:53am Cecile: And the Cate Brothers's Union Man was a funk number that actually charted a bit. And Duane played this viciously tight uptempo gospel blues number that i have to look up.
	10:53am Brendan: Shhh he's gonna talk....
	10:54am Dean: Shoot, it was The Jam!
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: @Dean he opened for The Doors or The Doors slammed in his face.
	10:54am Cecile: YES.
	10:54am beavoux: I Saw Mellecamp on his last tour he was great. I hated him in the 80s though.
	10:55am Brendan: CCR sounds southern
	10:55am Dean: He tried to pose as a punk. Wore a long trench coat and swaggered around the stage.
	10:55am Stevel: Enjoying this particular show and its appropriate level of music-nerdiness.
	10:57am Dean: Ergo, no Jimmy LaFave.
	10:57am main hams: FOGHAT were BRITISH?!?!?! reboot.....
	10:57am beavoux: Yes Elvin is mentioned in the South's gonna do it again.
	10:57am Brendan: So no Rush today?
	10:57am steve: hi Joe. been listening since 9, i am loving this.
	10:57am Cecile: Yield Not Into Temptation is the song.
	10:57am will: Elvin Bishop started out with Paul Butterfield in Chicago right?
	10:57am Dean: Not even Mahogany Rush.
	10:58am crateslinger: Anybody remember the K-tel television offering of a compilation album entitled, "Southern Fried Rock"? I grew up listening to this stuff... in Massachusetts. I'm glad you guys aren't making to much fun. Still love it. How bout some Jonathan or Edgar Winters? Frankenstein!
	10:58am beavoux: That's Southern Canada
	10:58am Cecile: tom petty!
	10:59am northguineahills: Tom Petty was originally from gainesville, fl, before moving to LA.
	10:59am northguineahills: (I used to live in gainesville, I have many tom petty stories)
	11:01am coelacanth: okay,it's getting better!
	11:01am KP: Brian you are right re: BOC and Soft White Underbelly. But they were also the Stalk Forest Group and i saw them as that, and also as pre-cowbell BOC, within a couple of weeks.
	11:01am Joe McG: Hey, Steve! Thanks to everyone who's stuck with me since the beginning!
	11:01am main hams: nice, Dean
	11:01am coelacanth: most of single file was okay,too.
	11:02am Brendan: Did they ever catch that killer in Gainesville who decapitated people?
	11:02am beavoux: Not TP singing
	11:02am coelacanth: (...i'm trying!)
	11:03am northguineahills: yep, they caught him less then a year after it happened. There's still a large mural memorial for the victims.
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: Fidelity is being true to your missus or ole man that or being a Kooban.
	11:03am drr: I have that Southern Fried Rock comp, it has an illustration of a big ol' fried egg on the cover.
	11:03am KP: i should get that fairly recent Mudcrutch album. They (Petty) do an awesome version of the Byrds' "Lover of the Bayou."
	11:03am Dean: TP label mate Dwight Twilley is from Tulsa, but he's less Southern Rock than Foghat.
	11:04am Holly in NC: JJOOEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everybody :-)
	11:04am Brendan: Whew!
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: @KP American Girl, say no more.
	11:05am Joe McG: HOLLY! So good to see you!!
	11:06am johnk77: Jim Lenahan was the original lead singer for Mudcrutch. When I met him in 1980 he was lighting designer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and a good guy.
	11:06am Cecile: Mother's Finest were pretty damn Southern.
	11:06am KP: Right! McGuinn was shocked to hear that was not himself singing American Girl
	11:07am KP: Poor poor Toy Caldwell.
	11:07am Holly in NC: So good to be here!!!!!!!!!!! Any Dixie Dregs coming up, or are they not rockin' enou- oh never mind, just saw you already played. Should've known!
	11:07am Joe McG: Thanks for the info, johnk77! I did have some songs with Petty singing lead, including a pretty good "Not Fade Away," but I went with the song I liked best.
	11:08am beavoux: Foghat were blues rock, they came out of Savoy Brown one of the first British blues bands along with Fleetwood Mac. Nothing "southern" about their sound.
	11:08am Brendan: After this show when I get home this evening I'm going to do some porching
	11:09am Cecile: I liked Toy's voice a lot.
	11:09am paul b: Marshall Tucker Band! My best friend, George, moved from Holliston Mass down to Spartanburg GA during high school. But when I think southern rock I think of being stationed at NAS Key West a year or so later when the favourite son there was the Pat Travers band and the song Crash and Burn
	👻 11:09am Brian in UK: @beauvoux southern over here is somewhere near Brighton.
	11:10am beavoux: Spartanburg is in South Carolina
	11:10am Brendan: Stinkfoot!
	11:10am coelacanth: i never thought of foghat as "southern" sounding....But then i never thought of zz top as "southern rock" either.
	11:11am main hams: Well, the drawlin "aint no country boy" had me fooled
	11:11am DeaconDave: BLACKFOOT!
	11:11am Holly in NC: @beavoux - the big urban legend in my Connecticut HS was that our (wonderful) school nurse = the mother of 2 members of Foghat. ??!! So not possible, but pre-internet much easier to suspend disbelief, in all ways. Plus, young.
	11:11am Dean: I'm guessing Chinga Chavin doesn't make the cut, either?
	11:12am beavoux: @brian Right! Cheers.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Dean: Ha! I don't think I can play "Asshole from El Paso" on regular radio.
	11:12am sam hain: silliest freebird mockup evr!
	11:13am paul b: Beavoux: You're right, brain freeze. My friend actually moved to a town called Inman anyway
	11:13am MD: I'm going up to the woods tonight to build me a still!!!
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: There is a small town just south of London called Leatherhead. I am sure you folks have got much sillier names. Oh just remembered Wet Wang up north.
	11:15am Dean: Still another label mate of Petty, Twilley, Leon Russell, etc.: Larry Hosford. He's not even Southern California, but his early Shelter albums have a nice folky country sound. Russell and George Harrison play on one of them.
	11:15am coelacanth: i got here at the charlie daniels conversation,but i scrolled up to see "Beaverteeth" -Great band name!
	11:15am main hams: WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A STEEYALL?
	11:15am Cecile: I'm gonna have a fish fry in the parking lot at work.
	11:16am Brendan: Freebird part 2 ( now with 50% more guitars!)
	11:16am DeaconDave: I still like "Blue Ball" and "Intercourse" . . . towns in Pensyltucky
	11:16am bobdoesthings: @md I know there are a few boutique-ish "authentic" distilleries that try to sell "moonshine" in fancy bottles to yuppie tourists in the south, sell your hooch to hipsters
	11:16am Brendan: Jammin dudes
	11:17am Dean: Copping Ronnie Lane here.
	11:18am ron: how incredibly cool to stumble on an entire show of southern rock thank you
	11:18am rw: I've got a still in a closet somewheres. It may be time to ferment something and dig the thing out.
	11:18am coelacanth: [coxsackie,ny]
	11:19am DeaconDave: Hohokus, NJ
	11:20am Joe McG: My pleasure, Ron!
	11:20am Rectitude: tac
	11:20am beavoux: Another not southern band are Ram Jam (Black Betty bam a lam), they were formed in NYC.
	11:20am Brendan: Dicky must be nicely lubricated , he's singing this song to a plant.
	11:20am DCE: here come the stacked triplets
	11:21am KP: Dickie Betts is the BEST!
	11:21am EzSezz: Dicky Betts! Nuff said.
	11:21am Cecile: DeaconDave, the "Moon/Beaver" exit still makes me giggle.
	11:22am Captain Sunday: My bets on dicky, nuff said
	11:22am nickybones: of all days to tune in late. will definitely be rockin' the archive later. nice work, joe!
	11:23am Brendan: He recycled the 1 st solo from blue sky almost verbatim
	11:23am Tim BK: When Dicky Betts was released from jail, he had a cut-off jean jacket with "Eat Shit" in large letters embroidered on the back. How this guy wrote such pretty music is a mystery.
	11:23am DeaconDave: What about Cheesequake, NJ? What is that?
	11:23am KP: I saw what is officially deemed the world premier of Blue Skies (Stony Brook).
	11:23am coelacanth: Brendan -yeah he did.
	11:23am βrian: Abolitionist States' Rock next week?
	11:24am beavoux: That's Dangerous Dan Toller on the other guitar. He later joined the ABB
	11:24am DeaconDave: How about Amish music?
	11:24am KP: Tim BK. That is a mystery! He was kicked out of the Allman Brothers for being a mess, which takes some doing.
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: @Tim BK reminds me of Nigel Tufnell and Lick My Love Pump.
	11:25am Chris M.: favorite Surface Noise show ever
	11:25am Dan: I'll be taking the download of this show on a float of the Edisto river this weekend ! Cheers from Charleston South Cacalackey !!!!
	11:25am common: bless you, capricorn
	11:25am KP: The Allmans with Dickie and Dangerous Dan renewed the spirit.
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: The Average White Band were too funky AND Scottish.
	11:26am Dean: All shape note singing, all the time.
	11:26am Matt from Springfield: Hey Joe! Can't listen in live from here, but man what a playlist! AND a Southern Rock Single File too (I was hoping! :) Will very much enjoy this Archive! :D
	11:26am DCE: I'd wager that the southern rock is generating more comments per capita than anything else
	11:27am DCE: hi MfS!
	11:27am Matt from Springfield: Hey DCE!
	11:27am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! Good to see you!!
	11:27am Tim BK: Dickie and Duane, tough to come up with a better guitar pair and both as different as night and day.
	11:27am Holly in NC: As part of training for the 2nd college station I worked at, one needed to make a "cart" promoting said station (yep, just dated myself immensely). My ex-husband & I were training together, and somehow we made a pretty kickass cart incorporating the flute breakdown from Marshall Tucker's "Can't You See", Laura Dern's "Sailor Ripley, you get me some music on that radio this instant! I mean it!" rant from Wild at Heart, Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" and Rock Hyrax calls courtesy of the NC Zoo in Asheboro. Again, so young, but actually it was really good ;-) This is back when liking Pavement was really deep & edgy.
	👻 11:28am Brian in UK: Joe got to run an urgent errand. Usual top job. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
	11:28am beavoux: Yes that Enlightened Rogues was good as I recall.
	11:29am Matt from Springfield: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrian! @Joe: This warrants a thank you in advance!
	11:30am rw: @Holly, your next assignment: get that cart to Joe in the next 15 min.
	11:31am Chris from DC: Won't be long til the Outlaws now will it?
	11:31am Matt from Springfield: Not just Skynyrd/Atlanta Rhythm Section/Marshall Tucker/ZZ Top, you made sure to include BOA, Molly Hatchet, Elvin Bishop, Dickey Betts! And Mudcrutch! You did this show well Joe! A deep fried special!
	11:31am beavoux: "You boys have the same spirit that E had"
	11:31am Ken: Wow Joe. You're going deep today. Nobody's every played Beaverteeth on FMU before. I would like to point out that the veru first LP in our building, which we used as a measuring device for building shelves and such, was a Wet Willie LP.
	11:31am KP: Lonnie MAcK!
	11:32am mans haim: Joe there's not much time left for Dire Straits, REM and Black Crowes
	11:32am Joe McG: @Ken: That's a fantastic omen. Thanks for the info, Ken!
	11:32am Cecile: travelling bone. hehehehhe
	11:33am Captain Sunday: REM wasn't sent an invitation.
	11:34am Cecile: or the Spiritual Beggars. Sweden's finest Southern Rock band.
	11:35am Philthy woman: Hi Common, are you seeing the jacket over the shoulder and the shaggy strut down along the old highway?
	11:35am Cecile: what about Little Feat?
	11:35am William Faulkner: Freebird!
	11:36am Dean: Absalom! Absalom!
	11:36am Tome: the Outlaws yea !!!!
	11:36am Dean: Just picked up this album for two bucks.
	11:36am Parq: Had to work but back for the big finish. KP talked about seeing these bands. I note that I saw at least five of them, separately counting the Brothers and Wet Willy as their opening act. Saw CDB do a 17 minutes set, as an opener, can't even remember for whom. He was riding high at that time with a top 40 hit, that talking blues about dealing with rednecks. Can't help but wonder how that song would come out if he wrote it now.
	11:37am beavoux: Dire straits aren't southern and the Black Crowes play Faces style music
	11:37am Dean: Better take a potty break, folks. This goes on for twenty minutes.
	11:37am man haims: there MUSTA been an album called the sound and the fury
	11:37am KP: I am looking for my lighter
	11:37am bobdoesthings: I... I don't know if I.. can take this much longer.
	11:37am DCE: my god I've heard this SO MANY TIMES in my life...probably can't hear it with fresh ears at this point.
	11:37am beavoux: The live version no less ugggh.
	11:38am Parq: Outlaws is one of the bands I saw, actually. Great musicians, but dumb as dirt when it came to 'tween-song patter.
	11:38am ron: I know he doesn't fit the format but anyone who likes southern rock should check out rory Gallagher
	11:38am KP: I saw the Outlaws. I think they did this one.
	11:38am Stevel: The Outlaws! Lucky enough to have an am station in Denver that played the live version of GGaHT. Awesome stuff. More Freebird than Freebird. (I think you've hit a nerve here!)
	11:39am beavoux: I can go do all my laundry and this thing will still be going!
	11:39am Holly in NC: @rw - I fear cart disappeared long ago, and it's way, way, too hot to go in my attic & look for all my show cassettes (which are probably melted anyway).. Heck, I would KILL for a copy myself!
	11:40am Dean: If endless Southern rock guitar jams are outlawed, only outlaws will have endless Southern rock guitar jams.
	11:40am Tome: the poor man's freebird , whipping post ..
	11:41am KP: ron, the best "southern rock" is just talented guys jamming. The Allmans were closely associated with Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green days). Basically the Grateful Dead loved ABB and helped them break out.
	11:41am Chris from DC: Stevel: yes exactly.
	11:41am DCE: Hughie and Freddie have those bitchin' tones, though
	11:41am Captain Sunday: Frreeeeeeebirrrrrrrrd
	11:41am Kathy: I saw ALL these bands. Charlie Daniels was true shit kickin fun. I would go see the DKs or Circle Jerks one weekend and Marshall Tucker the next - got a lot of crap back then for appreciating both sides.
	11:41am KP: Joe do have Freebird/Baby I love Your Way back there.
	11:42am beavoux: Rory, great Irish BLUES rock player.
	11:43am rw: Are we still on "Green Grass and High Tides"?
	11:43am KP: Not yet into the High Tides part.
	11:44am Chris from DC: This one I've always had a soft spot for.
	11:44am DCE: so much grass..
	11:44am coelacanth: i already hated "southern rock" by the time this came out,so never listened to it that closely -though i've heard it a hundred times,easily...So i can actually listen to as fresh -sort of. ...and Yes! Rory Gallagher!
	11:44am Kurt Gottschalk: i was never a southern rock fan and i'm still not but oddly enough i don't want this to end.
	11:44am Dean: That was the hair tossin' part.
	11:44am beavoux: Just getting started like the first hundred years in the grave.
	11:45am Tome: it's groovy every now and then you have to get it out of your system ...
	11:45am Captain Sunday: @Kathy, know what you mean. Had my Black Sabbath, Judas Priest albums mixed in with my ABBA albums. Friend's were all WTF? Kids don't draw distinctions now days. A good thing.
	11:45am Cecile: I doin't have super strong feelings one way or another for it. The musicianship is good, and the shit-kicking persona makes me smile.
	11:46am Holly in NC: @Joe - awesome show. BTW, My favorite LS song = "Simple Man", but I can't imagine you not playing "Freebird", because, well, Freebird. I need to find a lighter.
	11:46am Cecile: My favorite performers at one time were Ornette Coleman, Judas Priest, feedtime and Womack and Womack. Yeah, I was weird.
	11:47am Dean: Wanna test your friends' tolerance level? Throw in a couple albums of Renaissance dance music.
	11:47am Chris from DC: Pretty great version here.
	11:47am tikk: I extend my arm and light my bic, snuggly nestled in its metal holder with inlaid turquoise, for you Joe. And yelleth through the smokey haze, "Freebird!"
	11:47am Joe McG: Apologies to all the great Southern rock bands I didn't get around to today: George Hatcher, Mose Jones, Garfeel Ruff, Oklahoma, Jackson Highway, etc., etc. etc. But I'm sure you'll all agree this song is worth it!
	11:48am Parq: Okay, I can't deny it, I am digging the daylights out of these solos.
	11:48am coelacanth: Allmans,while Duane was around; and Grateful Dead,while Pig Pen was around, were not southern rock at all. They were influenced much as the "brit-blues-rock"bands were. (as KP said!)
	11:48am beavoux: The singer takes a nap here
	11:49am Joe McG: OH, YEAH, and the Allman Brothers. How could I forget 'em? :)
	11:49am DCE: nah beavoux he's too busy playing the guitar...they had two other guitarists as well.
	11:49am KP: Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws was the driving force of the revamped Lynyrd Skynyrd. He died soon after rejoining the Outlaws,
	11:50am Captain Sunday: Tedeschi-Trucks playing in my town this month. This set inspires me to buy tickets. Must think...
	11:50am rw: May be a Southern Rock II in our future.
	11:50am Holly in NC: @Cecile - that's a great weird!
	11:50am Dean: Allman on Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime," lord.
	11:50am DCE: Hughie is dead? that I did not know
	11:50am beavoux: Whatever
	11:50am Lizardner Dave: In my mind this is the "Uh, oh, Station Manager Ken is dealing with an emergency song".
	11:50am Guido from Cologne: I have a certain sentimental connection to the Outlaws since "Hurry Sundown" was among my teenage single collection (giveto me from left overs from some jukebox service).
	11:51am rw: Joe, have you put away all the records and cleaned up the studio yet?
	11:51am KP: Yes, coelacanth. there's a fantastic boot of the dead at the Fillmore East doing Lovelight for 40 minutes. Duane, Berry, Peter Green and others are in on it.
	11:51am Captain Sunday: I can't believe I'm not bored with this song.
	11:51am coelacanth: Dean -yes! i could hear that right about now!
	11:52am beavoux: My fingers got stuck
	11:52am Guido from Cologne: Allman Brothers "Black Hearted Woman" ! ...
	11:52am Chris from DC: There had to be a drum solo, right?
	11:52am Captain Sunday: Not a drum solo...please god no
	11:52am DCE: but of course!
	11:52am Kurt Gottschalk: i <3 joe mcg for apologizing to all the great southern rock bands he didn't get around to today
	11:52am KP: Hugh Edward Thomasson, Jr. was an American guitarist and singer, best known as a founding member of Outlaws and as a guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Wikipedia Born: August 13, 1952, Tampa, FL Died: September 9, 2007, Brooksville, FL
	11:53am Dean: Union rules, axemen get to take a break.
	11:53am Holly in NC: @tikk - I TOO HAD A METAL BIC HOLDER WITH INLAID TURQUOISE, a present from my best friend. Oh. Now I miss the holder and my best friend so, so much.
	11:53am KP: Nooooo!
	11:53am Parq: Oddly, Chris, I was just thinking that these guys could usually pull off a drum solo better than straight-up rawk bands.
	11:53am KP: At least they only had one drummer.
	11:53am beavoux: Final stretch? Alas no. The dreaded drum solo.
	11:53am Parq: I'll admit, that's not setting the bar very high.
	11:53am coelacanth: KP -I MUST HEAR THAT! Peter AND Duane?!..AND Jerry?!
	11:54am Joe McG: Well, I'm nearly done here, folks...thanks for holding your lighters aloft, and I'll see you next week! Hope you enjoyed the show.
	11:54am rw: We're still on "Green Grass and High Tides", right?
	11:54am beavoux: It started at 11:37
	11:54am Brendan: Heres some light (wiki)reading on the song while it plays , quoted from the founding Outlaw member Henry Paul, "From what I gather, there was an album out, the best of The Rolling Stones, called 'High Tides and Green Grass.' That was the name of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits - this is like 1966 - and I think it was a manifestation of that title turned in reverse, 'Green Grass and High Tides.' I know that much. And I know that it was a song written for rock and roll illuminaries, from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, and it had nothing to do with marijuana. But it had to do with, I think, a specific person's [Thomasson's] lyrical look at rock and roll legends. 'As kings and queens bow and play for you.' It's about Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. 'Castles of stone, soul and glory.' A lot of it is just sort of a collage of words that really don't have all that much to do with anything, they just fit and sounded right. But I have to say it's one of my favorite lyrics. My songwriting is more Steinbeck, really rooted in accuracy and reality; this is definitely Alice In Wonderland. It's the whole 'White Rabbit.' It's sort of like one of those magic lyrical moments that will forever be mysteriously, unclearly conceived."
	11:54am Dean: Next week: all the Bruckner symphonies, slowed down.
	11:54am DCE: so many Saturday nights...
	11:55am Chris from DC: All yacht rock next?
	11:55am Tome: the end is the best part actually last noted on the guitar,, !
	11:55am Captain Sunday: You could play Thin Lizzy's "Banshee" from "Nightlife" and it would most certainly fit in here.
	11:55am Dean: Steinbeck! Go figure. So Larry Hosford (Salinas) isn't so remote after all.
	11:55am Dan: Nothing like psychedelic boogie !!!!
	11:55am Cecile: I kinda of tuned it out, and got a lot of work done. Yay!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: oh mannn.... can't believe I made it through..albeit a great show, thanks joe.
	11:56am Tim BK: This song smells like spilled bong water in the rug
	11:56am KP: Coelecanth it is unbelieveable. Unfortunately when i moved from a huge house to an apartment, the bootlegs di not make it. but google the key names and im sure it will pop up.
	11:56am rw: Woo!!! Yeah!!!
	11:56am coelacanth: KP,i did mean Jerry; but,did you mean Berry Oakley? (....i gotta find that.)
	11:56am Cecile: Chris from DC, consult with Duane about that. He has a way of finding some really bent Yacht Rock.
	11:56am KP: Brendan, v nice.
	11:57am beavoux: Wheeeeaww only 20mins
	11:58am Cecile: I remember so vividly hearing about the Skynyd plane crash in school right before a pep assembly.
	11:58am Parq: photos1.blogger.com...
	11:58am KP: Henry Paul now fronts the Outlaws. He had been out for while. I think only original guy.
	11:58am Cecile: and then everyone going "ooooooh" at That Smell
	11:58am Captain Sunday: "This song smells like spilled bong water in the rug" LOL
	11:58am common: great joe! thanks!
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: You've outdone yourself, McGasko. See you in September!
	11:58am beavoux: Should have played Whipping Post instead.
	11:58am KP: Great show, joe.
	11:59am Brendan: Joe - i need a quiet room for like a month- perhaps solitary confinement. Thank you for the 3 hour ( day) southern polooza!
	11:59am Sem Chumbo: :-D
	11:59am coelacanth: Thank you Joe.
	11:59am DCE: lotta fun, man!
	11:59am mains hum: yahoo!
	11:59am Jason: Fun show Joe, enjoyed it a ton, thanks!
	11:59am Tim BK: Bravo Joe!!!!! Def one to listen to over and over...
	12:00pm rw: Woo!! Yeah!!!
	12:00pm Dean: Is this the "Lovelight"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xNm2nVETZc
	12:00pm Brendan: Go home people - get up outta the grass and take youJack Daniels empties off my farm fields
	12:00pm Brendan: And stay awY from the sheep
	3:19pm ccrides: Dang..!..I missed this show when it aired live, but must say it really hits the spot, for me..!..Such a program has got to be a first for WFMU???...Thanks Joe!!!...:)O(:...
	3:29am On the Yazoo: Found this show scanning the archives.. You nailed it.
	1:22am creaturecity: Shake a leg shake a leg. Marking the year since I heard the second half of this show and saved 128k mp3. Have to believe alot of Peavey equipment heard here. Shake a leg shake a leg
