Listener comments!
	9:04am Claw!: Joe! Thank heavens for you... I woke up with "Voodoo" by Godsmack playing in my head, and I NEED you to help me get rid of it, or else I will surely die.
	♥ 9:06am Marcel M: Joe!!! @Claw!: HAHAHA! Is that the Snakebite in my veins song?!?!?
	9:08am Claw!: Marcel, it is! AAARRRGGHH! I need it gone!
	9:08am Anna F: Good morning Joe!
	9:09am thedunkel: Good Morning Joe and Fellows Fans Of Joe!
	♥ 9:10am Marcel M: @Claw!: Ha ha.. I hadn't thought of that song since I was young when it came out. My bandmate randomly started playing the bass line from it the other day and singing it and I lost it. Was too funny.
	♥ 9:11am Joe McG: Hi, Claw!, Marcel, Anna, dunkel! I'll do my best to smack God out of your head, Claw!
	9:11am Parq: Oh, it's too early in the morning to do the Lindy Hop. Good thing I don't know how anyway.
	♥ 9:11am Marcel M: I guess I should say youngER* or a kid.
	9:11am d¢ pät: OK, I'm here, you can start the show--HEY, WAIT A MINUTE...
	♥ 9:13am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, been groovin' on Glad Christmas Tide in the car just recently.
	9:14am Claw!: Yeah, Marcel, a "friend" of mine was singing it to me yesterday and got it stuck in my head. I though it's be gone by this morning, but naw. I think I need to reevaluate her "friend standing."
	9:15am d¢ pät: I woke up with Auto Warfare by Brando's Island in my head. Not too bad. They caused me to do about an hours-worth of research into the island (atoll really) that Brando bought.
	♥ 9:16am Marcel M: @Claw!: Hehehe. Yeah its kind of in my head now... That damned bass line. This set is doing me right this morning Joe! I'm zingin'!
	9:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: 'mornin, boogie boogers.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: @Brian: Glad you enjoyed it, Brian! Thanks for your contribution!
	♥ 9:17am Marcel M: @DC PAT: Methinks its time for me to do some research into Brando's Island that he bought...
	♥ 9:17am Marcel M: Ahh hahaha. Thats a good technique next time I offer my seat.
	9:17am d¢ pät: pretty weird and dark. cursed family.
	9:19am Parq: This subway number is adorable.
	9:19am d¢ pät: wow rhyming Manhattan with "seat I sat in", nice.
	9:19am bobdoesthings: good morning
	♥ 9:20am Polyus: A whole nickel to ride the subway? Times are hard.
	♥ 9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Rockin'' in 1941 - deffo Swing, but notable...
	9:21am KP: Good morning from NYC, Joe
	9:21am Claw!: This is great music for a gray, rainy commute. :)
	♥ 9:22am Marcel M: Mornin' Bob!
	♥ 9:24am Joe McG: Hey, Parq, pat, Polyus, bobd, KP, Rev, RR63! Welcome, all!
	9:25am bobdoesthings: holamarcel
	♥ 9:25am Brian in UK: It's so bodacious to WHAT?
	9:26am Brendan: Swingin anti Nazi propaganda song Joe! Nobody nails the niches like you!
	♥ 9:27am Joe McG: Hey, Brendan! Swing those Nazis away!
	9:29am bobdoesthings: them dang nah-tsy spies!
	9:30am duke: This is a great set, cooling with gas.
	9:30am duke: *cookin'
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Hey, there duke: coolin' AND cookin'! ;)
	9:32am Brendan: Now that you're on our side I know we'll win. You know Joe , i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
	♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: Great line 'I want you on my family tree'.
	9:33am bobdoesthings: @joe - digging this set!!
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha! Hill o' beans!
	9:36am Rev. Turnip Druid: DAMMIT, missed my spiritual co-pilot (cab) -- must now punch self innaface but good.
	♥ 9:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ramones or a HipHopper could cover that Cab.
	♥ 9:37am Marcel M: That was indeed a wonderful set!
	9:41am bobdoesthings: Yiddish Swingers - a new reality show series.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ella Mae Morse ('Cow Cow Boogie') is an interesting artist for being 1940s-50s @ the transtion of Swing, R&B & earliest hints of R&R - & good.
	♥ 9:42am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! I am nothing if not hep to the Jive.
	9:45am bobdoesthings: Dommengang and Ommegang Brewery should team up for a Everybody Boogie Brew. Man I am full of great ideas today.
	9:46am thedunkel: Dommengang after Yiddish Swingers = NICE!
	♥ 9:46am Marcel M: Yes quite the transition! Cool!
	9:47am SeanG: Headbangin!!
	9:48am Claw!: Trying to listen to this very cool song, but those assholes at Verizon are currently throttling my data. Pricks.
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jazz Swings side-to-side. Great clip of Duke talking about you mustn't snap your fingers too on the beat - not cool... Rawk Rocks - a back & forth fist-pumping assertion. Metalheads stake out a space they anchor to & hammer it - every instrument is percussive...Punks are all over the place...
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ways of going thru the world...
	10:01am MenfussMike: i know karen dalton never recorded songs, but are these collections of songs her words?
	10:02am MenfussMike: *original songs.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Menfuss: Yes, I think she recorded other people's songs most of the time. These are words they found and asked new artists to put music to them. Sort of like the Billy Bragg/Wilco things or that Elvis Costello thing with Bob Dylan lyrics.
	♥ 10:05am MD: Happy Thursday Freeform Nation!
	10:06am MenfussMike: Nice. thanks Joe. apparently there is a documentary in the works too on KD
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: @Menfuss: That's good news!
	10:07am duke: Nice sax and piano on this Billy Joe cut
	10:10am V Priceless: Mornin' Joe and McGaskites! Always a pleasure!
	10:12am Claw!: What a nice, upbeat tune!
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: 'Mornin', VP!
	10:12am Claw!: Oi, V! Good morning!
	♥ 10:12am Joe McG: @Claw!: Ha ha ha!
	10:15am bobdoesthings: @menfussmike - I didn't see anything on a documentary on ms Dalton.. but I did find this - www.npr.org...
	10:15am Jack: I remember a Three Dog Night version of this song, around the same time. 1970 or so?
	10:17am V Priceless: just heard this 'White Eyes' cut recently - very cool!
	10:17am paul: I knew this song sounded familiar.
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (- a Lennon-McCartney.)
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Jack: Yeah, I think it might be a bit earlier, but I'm not sure. This is 1970, so it could've been a year old by then.
	10:20am Claw!: This Conti Family sure is fabulous!
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @Claw!: You oughta see the cover!
	10:21am MenfussMike: @boddoesthings....i heard her daughter was financing it and it was to be released later in the year. here you go www.facebook.com...
	10:23am bobdoesthings: ah.. I am not on the book of faces.. thanks for the link though!
	10:24am V Priceless: @ Rev Rabbit: I did not know that! Cool track
	10:25am bobdoesthings: wow on this carl stevens ... damnnn.
	♥ 10:25am Greg from Bloomfield: Who did I appoint Secretary In Charge Of Informing Me About Any Albums Titled "Popcorn Exotica"? Because you really dropped the ball.
	♥ 10:25am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha ha!
	♥ 10:26am Greg from Bloomfield: Unless it was you, Joe. In which case good work!
	10:36am bobdoesthings: OOOOOoooOoooooo.. what an intro.. might have to get up and dance at my desk!
	10:37am Claw!: Yaaaaaasssssssssss
	10:37am Listener Alexandra: Not sure if it's a horror movie, but the white contacts were out of control in "Omega Man".
	10:38am sigurđur: I sure love those follow ups ...
	10:38am Brendan: He's a chick magnet.
	10:39am maja: hi boys (&anna&alexandra)
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: My song!!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: Welcome, Alexandra, Maja, and sigurdur!
	10:43am Listener Alexandra: Thanks Joe...and thank you for the 60s/70s goodness as ever. My students are going to love the Freda Payne song. Snagging that for my Saturday class!
	10:45am Cheri Pi: Whoa, haven't heard Christmas in ages, I saw them open for Husk Du in 1986 ish era

	10:50am Claw!: Ay, Freddy... Que amor.
	10:53am Brendan: Miss ole Freddy. Love the wiki : 'He became known for his rockabilly music and his cool persona as Eddie Con Los Shades. In 1958 he legally changed his name from Baldemar Huerta to Freddy Fender. He took Fender from the guitar and amplifier, and Freddy because the alliteration sounded good and would "sell better with Gringos!"
	♥ 10:58am SeanG: OH YEAH
	♥ 10:58am Dominick: Wow!
	10:58am Cheyenne: I used to think this song was about MOTORHEAD! But it was just a case of misheard lyrics.
	10:58am Dean: This is that tribute to Neu, right?
	10:58am PKNY: <ozzy>Let me see your cigarette lighters!</ozzy>
	10:58am bobdoesthings: oh boy.

	♥ 10:59am Mike East: yes.
	10:59am Cheri Pi: Hahahahahaha
	10:59am Claw!: OHMYGODILOVETHISSONG

	11:00am Roberto: Lololololol love it
	11:00am paul: Sister Christian? Nooooo. What did I do to deserve this?
	11:00am Roberto: You did not ROCK enough, that's what!
	11:00am PKNY: My big question is: can we still rock in America?
	11:01am Dean: The band split up, but reformed briefly as Afternoon Sheriff.
	11:01am PKNY: Dean: check my NR tribute band, Morning Constable
	11:02am maja: this sister makes me think of tonights eurosongfestival
	11:03am the Canterbury wood-elf: Night Ranger into a Kevin Ayers demo loop. Where else?

	11:04am Dean: @PKNY: Sorry I missed your band. Big fan of Twilight Bailiff, though.
	11:05am Dean: Freddy's brother did come up with a car-inspired pseudonym. Henry Hood Ornament.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: If you need financial advice get the Loan Arranger. Ouch.
	11:06am Jeff: Tony Hazzard, black-sheep brother of Moral Hazzard.
	♥ 11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jorge Hubcaps?

	11:10am Carmichael: Night Ranger, Sacramento's finest ... :) Hiya Joe and peeps.

	11:14am JakeGould: Hello Morning People.
	11:14am the Canterbury wood-elf: @guyforgettingdanger It's a demo version of Kevin's song "Hymn" from the compilation "What More Can I Say?"
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @wood-elf: Thanks! You guys are always such a nice help!
	11:18am the Canterbury wood-elf: Who needs another Blur album?
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: @elf: There actually IS a new one!

	♥ 11:21am Polyus: Just a little dirt, it's still good.
	11:22am JakeGould: “…fumbled my sandwich…” Does that mean you lost your sandwich and that pigeons will be eating like kings tonight?
	♥ 11:23am Stevel: Awesome!

	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: This song is so great, I have not been nice to it. Sorry, folks! @Brian: Great taste that man has. (We'll hear more Martin later in this set with other folks, I think....)
	11:26am Brendan: I expected Martin to start singing about Lucky Charms
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: In case you're wondering what the hell this song is about: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:30am JakeGould: @Joe: I closed my eyes when clicking that link and said, “Did he deal with Steeleye Span at any point?” and opened my eyes and yes he did!
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Oh, yes, Jake, he was a full-fledged member of the band for several years.
	11:32am V Priceless: lovely stuff, Joe!
	11:32am Parq: It says on the Wikipedia page that, in many versions of this song, the king is "led into the forest by a white hind." The 12-year-old in me is having lots of fun with that one.
	♥ 11:34am Andrew Waterloo: @Parq doing my best Butthead laugh right now.
	11:40am Brendan: Move over Thistle and Shamrock a new dogs movin in
	11:41am redkayak: Yep.....what Brendan said :)

	♥ 11:43am common: hey joe and everyone
	11:43am JakeGould: @Parq: I’ve been led into all kinds of nonsense by a white hind… And sometimes her front wasn’t so bad as well… rimshot
	11:44am rw: So... the Mother-in-law kills her son-in-law and her daughter gets to marry the king? Is that how it goes?
	11:44am redkayak: Say....wasn't the Golden Hind the name of Drake's ship?
	11:45am redkayak: @jake lol....good one
	♥ 11:45am Brian in UK: Yes redkayak. One of our greatest sailors/plunderers.
	11:46am Brendan: I have no idea what Ms Richie looks like but i like the image in my head all these years. The name Fiona does it for me.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @rw: It was quite a world back then, eh?
	11:46am redkayak: I think I built a model of one when I was kid
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the duke - ditto a doyen of derma-graphic derriere...
	11:47am Asparagus: Very Popol Vuh!!
	11:47am redkayak: ...the Golden Hind. Not Fiona Ritchie....
	♥ 11:47am Brian in UK: I built a model of the Brigette Bardot but never went sailing in her.

	11:50am Dean: I always thought Fiona Ritchie was really Harry Shearer.
	11:51am Brendan: A golden hiney?
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @Claw!: Sorry, Claw, I've gone all British and folk morose on you. Next week will be different, I'm sure.
	11:53am V Priceless: in that case, Joe - 'In Amongst The Roses' perhaps? : )
	11:55am KP: That's Marianne Faithful way up there?
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody! Have a happy Memorial Day! Remember something nice.
	11:55am Claw!: Heh... That'll do, Joe. At least that-song-that-shall-not-be-named from this morning is no longer in my head, so thanks for that! :)
	11:55am Brendan: Love the set. Probably need some advance notice next time though to get a nice wool turtle neck on and fire up a bowl of borkum riff
	11:56am d¢ pät: Nope. No good. Auto Warfare is still stuck in my head.
	11:56am bobdoesthings: thanks joe!!! good show.
	11:56am V Priceless: Back at you, Joe! Thank you!
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: Variety is the spice, Joe and Francis Drake brought some spices back from his circumnavigations. Great show.

	9:04am Claw!: Joe! Thank heavens for you... I woke up with "Voodoo" by Godsmack playing in my head, and I NEED you to help me get rid of it, or else I will surely die.
	♥ 9:06am Marcel M: Joe!!! @Claw!: HAHAHA! Is that the Snakebite in my veins song?!?!?

	9:09am thedunkel: Good Morning Joe and Fellows Fans Of Joe!
	♥ 9:10am Marcel M: @Claw!: Ha ha.. I hadn't thought of that song since I was young when it came out. My bandmate randomly started playing the bass line from it the other day and singing it and I lost it. Was too funny.

	9:15am d¢ pät: I woke up with Auto Warfare by Brando's Island in my head. Not too bad. They caused me to do about an hours-worth of research into the island (atoll really) that Brando bought.

	9:32am Brendan: Now that you're on our side I know we'll win. You know Joe , i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

	♥ 9:37am Marcel M: That was indeed a wonderful set!
	9:41am bobdoesthings: Yiddish Swingers - a new reality show series.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ella Mae Morse ('Cow Cow Boogie') is an interesting artist for being 1940s-50s @ the transtion of Swing, R&B & earliest hints of R&R - & good.
	♥ 9:42am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! I am nothing if not hep to the Jive.
	9:45am bobdoesthings: Dommengang and Ommegang Brewery should team up for a Everybody Boogie Brew. Man I am full of great ideas today.

	9:48am Claw!: Trying to listen to this very cool song, but those assholes at Verizon are currently throttling my data. Pricks.
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jazz Swings side-to-side. Great clip of Duke talking about you mustn't snap your fingers too on the beat - not cool... Rawk Rocks - a back & forth fist-pumping assertion. Metalheads stake out a space they anchor to & hammer it - every instrument is percussive...Punks are all over the place...
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ways of going thru the world...
	10:01am MenfussMike: i know karen dalton never recorded songs, but are these collections of songs her words?
	10:02am MenfussMike: *original songs.
	♥ 10:05am Joe McG: @Menfuss: Yes, I think she recorded other people's songs most of the time. These are words they found and asked new artists to put music to them. Sort of like the Billy Bragg/Wilco things or that Elvis Costello thing with Bob Dylan lyrics.
	♥ 10:05am MD: Happy Thursday Freeform Nation!
	10:06am MenfussMike: Nice. thanks Joe. apparently there is a documentary in the works too on KD

	10:15am bobdoesthings: @menfussmike - I didn't see anything on a documentary on ms Dalton.. but I did find this - www.npr.org...
	10:15am Jack: I remember a Three Dog Night version of this song, around the same time. 1970 or so?
	10:17am V Priceless: just heard this 'White Eyes' cut recently - very cool!
	10:17am paul: I knew this song sounded familiar.
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (- a Lennon-McCartney.)
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Jack: Yeah, I think it might be a bit earlier, but I'm not sure. This is 1970, so it could've been a year old by then.
	10:20am Claw!: This Conti Family sure is fabulous!

	10:50am Claw!: Ay, Freddy... Que amor.
	10:53am Brendan: Miss ole Freddy. Love the wiki : 'He became known for his rockabilly music and his cool persona as Eddie Con Los Shades. In 1958 he legally changed his name from Baldemar Huerta to Freddy Fender. He took Fender from the guitar and amplifier, and Freddy because the alliteration sounded good and would "sell better with Gringos!"
	♥ 10:58am SeanG: OH YEAH
	♥ 10:58am Dominick: Wow!
	10:58am Cheyenne: I used to think this song was about MOTORHEAD! But it was just a case of misheard lyrics.
	10:58am Dean: This is that tribute to Neu, right?
	10:58am PKNY: <ozzy>Let me see your cigarette lighters!</ozzy>

	11:00am Roberto: You did not ROCK enough, that's what!
	11:00am PKNY: My big question is: can we still rock in America?

	11:26am Brendan: I expected Martin to start singing about Lucky Charms
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: In case you're wondering what the hell this song is about: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:30am JakeGould: @Joe: I closed my eyes when clicking that link and said, “Did he deal with Steeleye Span at any point?” and opened my eyes and yes he did!
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Oh, yes, Jake, he was a full-fledged member of the band for several years.
	11:32am V Priceless: lovely stuff, Joe!
	11:32am Parq: It says on the Wikipedia page that, in many versions of this song, the king is "led into the forest by a white hind." The 12-year-old in me is having lots of fun with that one.

	11:46am Brendan: I have no idea what Ms Richie looks like but i like the image in my head all these years. The name Fiona does it for me.

	11:55am Brendan: Love the set. Probably need some advance notice next time though to get a nice wool turtle neck on and fire up a bowl of borkum riff
