	9:24am Joe McG: @KP: Ha! Hey, Roberto! I'll get more lively shortly. Climbing the mountain slowly this morning.
	9:26am crateslinger: Hard to start the saws this morning. Not sure if it's the dulcet tones or I just don't want to work anymore.
	9:30am crateslinger: a conspiracy of circumstance
	9:30am OTB: Fred Astaire is always welcome. Thank you.
	9:30am sphere: Morning! I love Julie London. Didn't Irwin help bring her back into the spotlight?
	9:32am P-90: @Joe: enjoying every step of the slow climb. Great start!
	👻 9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: If I close my eyes tight, I can imagine a wintry, snowy scene outdoors instead of the green grass and warmth of December, 2015, in upstate NY.
	9:34am Brendan: Bevis and Butthead are chuckling every time you say 'cheek to cheek'

	9:43am Risky: Feeling the feelings this morning, Joe. Morning, Morning People.
	9:45am pierre: it's been 45 minutes, and I haven't said a bonjour yet ! So Bonjour Joe
	9:47am Joe McG: Bonjour, pierre! Howdy, Risky!
	9:51am sphere: damn this Hooker track is fine.
	9:52am Brendan: A song about a man and his pillow
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh Blooz: Formally, almost nothing - emotionally & meaning-wise, just about everything.
	9:57am Brendan: Or his teddy bear , point is , he wakes up and she weren't there! When he wakes up the nightmare begins. He was romancing the pillow! That is one scary campfire story.
	9:59am P-90: Agreed, Joe. Every show the week of Christmas doesn't HAVE to be a "Christmas show" to feel just right. This show's been more special than most "specials."
	10:00am Santos L. Halper: Happy Monday Sun Day morning Joe! So nice to be listening from the comfort of home for a change...
	10:02am riff randell: Wow this is AMAZING
	10:04am northguineahills: What riff said....
	10:05am Joe McG: @P-90: Thanks for the kind words! @Santos: So nice to be home for the holidays! @riff: This one's killer diller, too: www.discogs.com...
	10:06am Santos L. Halper: Oooh, new Ra?!
	10:08am Ear Hammer: lovely x1,000,000 thank you for making the solstice worth coming into work for.
	10:08am northguineahills: That keyboard was instantly recognizable as Sun Ra, but it's rare to hear a flute solo w/ the arkestra, (although anything can happen w/ them).
	10:08am MD: It Should Be a Festivus For the Rest of US!!!
	10:08am MD: Good Morning Freeform EMPIRE!!!
	10:09am Joe McG: @EH: Aw, shucks! Thanks! Hey, ngh and MD! @Santos: A new collection of Ra, some previously unreleased.
	10:09am MD: did we all check our FIREWALLS today?!?!??
	10:10am northguineahills: more Soul Jazz gold....
	10:11am Listener Robert: I was shaving when I heard "Summertime", and appreciated it as a complement to the winter season music you said would be coming.
	10:12am OTB: The Sounds of the Middle Passage!
	10:15am Joe McG: @Listener Robert: Yes, I think winter will come in the last hour today.
	10:18am Joe McG: This Romano Rizzati is sort of like a very cool, beatnik Carol of the Bells, no?
	10:19am OTB: Carol of the Elevator?
	10:21am Listener Robert: Actually I'd rather not be reminded of winter, but if it has to come, let it come musically, thanks.
	10:22am Joe McG: @OTB: Yes, that'll do!
	10:22am sphere: this reminds me of Manhattan Transfer. i bet the Transfer are prime for rediscovery in 2030.
	10:23am Listener Robert: I learned on Sat. that Yule was originally celebrated not so near solstice, but some weeks later when the lengthening of daylight was clearly noticeable.
	10:25am Parq: Morning, Joe. Having my morning joe. Wait, Annie Ross isn't on this song? Never knew that. It's a classic nonetheless.
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Steve Harvey shoulda broke into this...
	10:28am Joe McG: Hey, Parq, crazy but true! Hey, RRN63!
	10:28am Brendan: Remember Sesame Street teaches us Everyone Makes Mistakes
	10:30am sphere: So how's it going, Mr. McG?
	10:30am Cecile: Steve Harvey should never leave the safety of Family Feud.
	10:31am Brendan: No Art Van? Damn!
	10:31am Claw!: JERR MERGERSKERR!
	10:33am Jason: I think GP pronounces it to rhyme with 'miles', with a soft-G
	10:35am Cecile: oh! That looked like a good movie.
	10:36am Cecile: A lot of Australian actors are crazy good mimics of American accents.
	10:36am Cecile: I was sure that the lead dude in Longmire was some character actor from Nevada or something.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cecile: I recommend it!
	10:37am Joe McG: @sphere: It's going not too bad, thanks for asking and sorry for the late reply!
	10:38am Cecile: I will have to catch it when I see it. It was on DirectTV PPV a while back.
	10:38am julieta: Mr G Peterson has his own radio show every saturday on the bbc 6 around 3pm . this gentleman was the owner and creator ( among other things ) of the Talkin' Load label . the Wfmu and the radio show I mentioned are musical my corner stone !
	10:39am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Thank you for playing Edwin Birdsong. Obscure but awesome!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Julieta: Thanks so much for the info! I know he's been on the radio for sometime but I know him more through his compilations than his show. @nEIL: You bet! (I love the part where he tells the black guitarist and the white guitarist to play at the same time.)
	10:41am Brendan: What a romantic song about Fettucine
	10:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:42am Cecile: Gilles Peterson is awesome.
	10:43am Risky: My girl right here!
	10:44am Joe McG: This song reminds me a lot of Roberta Flack, even though it's earlier.
	10:45am Brendan: She and Claudette Longine could whisper in my ears in stereo and i think i could smoke a cigarette afterwards.
	10:45am Joe McG: "Killing Him Softly," I mean.
	10:47am Cecile: was this the theme to Playboy after dark?
	10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yes, but I think it was originally called "Uptown Penthouse" or something, out of Chicago. I may be misremembering the title, but it was in B&W and had plenty of jazz people of the day on it.
	10:50am Cecile: Playboy's Penthouse or Playboy After Dark were the titles.
	10:52am Joe McG: Ah, thanks. I wonder if what became "Penthouse" magazine was referencing that show with a wink.
	10:52am Listener Alexandra: On a totally unrelated topic, Happy Winter Solstice, Joe!
	10:53am ChrisB.: boy, this tune is all over the place.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex! I'll be playing some wintry material shortly.
	10:53am Listener Alexandra: I'll be listening :-)
	10:54am dennis diken: digging the show Joe!
	10:54am ChrisB.: To Lonely, Love Mel.
	10:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Dennis! Congrats on the cool gig behind the Davies brothers! WOW!
	10:55am dennis diken: man, it was fun!
	10:56am Joe McG: Everyone looked so happy in the videos online!
	👻 10:57am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Quick hello, up in London getting a little culture and eating Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Happy Christmas to everyone.
	10:57am dennis diken: well...we were!
	10:57am Joe McG: Happy Christmas, Brian!
	10:57am Cecile: Never thought about that, Joe, but it makes sense.
	10:58am Cecile: were there a couple of Marshall Tucker guys in this band?
	10:59am jen v.: Joe!! I love this song & your show & you.
	10:59am steve: yesss
	11:01am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't know, but it's likely! @jen: JEN! So nice to hear from you, love to you, too!
	11:01am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @ Joe-can you play something that was super popular on WFMU back in 1992?
	11:03am Cecile: I like this better than Exile's. It's weird, but the disco version is less slimy than the country-ish version.
	11:03am Joe McG: @nEIL: I'm going to play a Stereolab 45 next week. Does that count?
	11:04am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Sure!
	11:04am KP: Rip off of Jeff Beck Group (w/ Rod Stewart)!!!
	11:05am Joe McG: @KP: But a good rip-off!
	11:06am Cecile: I looked up the James Montgomery band - they were out of Boston! Very popular there in the 70s too, I gather.
	11:06am maja: Yess good here. Just arrived did I miss something?
	11:08am Cecile: it's no Diamonds and Rust, but it's good.
	👻 11:08am doctorjazz: Saw Jon Hendricks a few months ago, gotten quite old, but still put on a fun show
	11:08am Ear Hammer: "this is not a threat"
	👻 11:08am doctorjazz: 1 Vote for the Morning Dew Show!
	11:09am Guido from Cologne: dcon't miss to invite Bonnie Dobson
	11:09am KP: Great idea! Grateful Dead did it great live. I wonder if there any such recordings
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Nina Simone played that!
	11:13am KP: I saw it
	11:14am Brendan: Making a u turn
	11:15am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Wikipedia says Morning Dew is about the two last man and woman after an apocalypse. WOW!
	11:15am Brendan: Was heading in for the 'nude party' thanks for the heads up
	11:20am Brendan: Lovin this Winter Bong
	11:20am JakeGould: I’m with you on winter to an extent. If the days are shorter and the sun sets earlier in the day, I want the weather to match the daylight span. If you give me bright, sunny, warm days in “winter” I will eat them up but they are disconcerting to experience nonetheless.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The 1st slush is the most beautiful.
	11:23am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I love cross country skiing with my camera. I have an awesome shot of a wild crabapple encased in ice with lots of bokeh behind it. Shot with a Pentax 50mm F 1.4.
	11:26am Brendan: We are the monks that chant
	👻 11:27am Ken From Hyde Park: There's a quote I attribute to Rod Stewart: "The first slush is the deepest."
	11:32am Brendan: By-Tor and the Snow Dog is a winter epic
	11:33am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha, it sure is!
	11:34am V Priceless: Great stuff, Joe! Merry Xmas to ya!
	11:34am pgw in mntclr: Gord's gold
	11:35am Ear Hammer: :)
	11:35am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: “Bokeh?” You mean depth of field for us normals.
	11:36am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Oh, sorry. Bokeh is actually the severely blurry background in a shot....brought about by severly THIN depth of field.
	11:39am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: Touché! What tea you be sipping?
	11:39am Joe McG: Thanks, VP! Hope all is well!
	11:41am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I met a man who was told by a doctor 15 years ago he had five years to live....so he asked the doctor surely there must be something I could TRY...he said Four cups of green tea a day,.,,Joe passed away this year.....15 years later....so I sip green tea when I do drink tea...
	11:49am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: !!!
	11:50am Brendan: Dance!... Faster!
	11:51am Guido from Cologne: do you get all the Bear family releases @ WFMU?
	11:52am Joe McG: @Guido: I wish! We get none.
	11:53am Joe McG: Or let me amend that to say "Very few." We have gotten one now and then, but I don't know if they send them or we buy them.
	11:54am Guido from Cologne: You'll get some from me!
	11:54am Joe McG: Well, folks, my time here is nearly through, so let me take this opportunity to thank you for listening and commenting, and I hope you all have a very happy holiday, if you're celebrating, and a very fine week, if you're not!
	11:55am Guido from Cologne: My package is still in the making but soon to be finished
	11:56am maja: Started recording your shows a while now, for times without stream, they are a hit on board. Have some good holydays thank you Joe
	11:56am SeanG: Thanks Joe for all you do!
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gene Clark is real good. Make him famous.
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & Thanks Joe for all you do!
	11:57am John: Really dug the show today, Joe! As always. All the best to you for a great 2016!
	11:57am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Great show! Thanks Joe ...
	11:58am Guido from Cologne: thanks 4 the show
	11:59am Listener Alexandra: thanks for the Poppies, Joe ;-)

	10:10am northguineahills: more Soul Jazz gold....
	10:11am Listener Robert: I was shaving when I heard "Summertime", and appreciated it as a complement to the winter season music you said would be coming.
	10:12am OTB: The Sounds of the Middle Passage!
	10:15am Joe McG: @Listener Robert: Yes, I think winter will come in the last hour today.
	10:18am Joe McG: This Romano Rizzati is sort of like a very cool, beatnik Carol of the Bells, no?
	10:19am OTB: Carol of the Elevator?
	10:21am Listener Robert: Actually I'd rather not be reminded of winter, but if it has to come, let it come musically, thanks.
	10:22am Joe McG: @OTB: Yes, that'll do!
	10:22am sphere: this reminds me of Manhattan Transfer. i bet the Transfer are prime for rediscovery in 2030.
	10:23am Listener Robert: I learned on Sat. that Yule was originally celebrated not so near solstice, but some weeks later when the lengthening of daylight was clearly noticeable.
	10:25am Parq: Morning, Joe. Having my morning joe. Wait, Annie Ross isn't on this song? Never knew that. It's a classic nonetheless.
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Steve Harvey shoulda broke into this...
	10:28am Joe McG: Hey, Parq, crazy but true! Hey, RRN63!
	10:28am Brendan: Remember Sesame Street teaches us Everyone Makes Mistakes
	10:30am sphere: So how's it going, Mr. McG?
	10:30am Cecile: Steve Harvey should never leave the safety of Family Feud.
	10:31am Brendan: No Art Van? Damn!
	10:31am Claw!: JERR MERGERSKERR!
	10:33am Jason: I think GP pronounces it to rhyme with 'miles', with a soft-G
	10:35am Cecile: oh! That looked like a good movie.
	10:36am Cecile: A lot of Australian actors are crazy good mimics of American accents.
	10:36am Cecile: I was sure that the lead dude in Longmire was some character actor from Nevada or something.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cecile: I recommend it!
	10:37am Joe McG: @sphere: It's going not too bad, thanks for asking and sorry for the late reply!
	10:38am Cecile: I will have to catch it when I see it. It was on DirectTV PPV a while back.
	10:38am julieta: Mr G Peterson has his own radio show every saturday on the bbc 6 around 3pm . this gentleman was the owner and creator ( among other things ) of the Talkin' Load label . the Wfmu and the radio show I mentioned are musical my corner stone !
	10:39am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Thank you for playing Edwin Birdsong. Obscure but awesome!
	10:41am Joe McG: @Julieta: Thanks so much for the info! I know he's been on the radio for sometime but I know him more through his compilations than his show. @nEIL: You bet! (I love the part where he tells the black guitarist and the white guitarist to play at the same time.)
	10:41am Brendan: What a romantic song about Fettucine
	10:42am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha!
	10:42am Cecile: Gilles Peterson is awesome.
	10:43am Risky: My girl right here!
	10:44am Joe McG: This song reminds me a lot of Roberta Flack, even though it's earlier.
	10:45am Brendan: She and Claudette Longine could whisper in my ears in stereo and i think i could smoke a cigarette afterwards.
	10:45am Joe McG: "Killing Him Softly," I mean.
	10:47am Cecile: was this the theme to Playboy after dark?
	10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yes, but I think it was originally called "Uptown Penthouse" or something, out of Chicago. I may be misremembering the title, but it was in B&W and had plenty of jazz people of the day on it.
	10:50am Cecile: Playboy's Penthouse or Playboy After Dark were the titles.
	10:52am Joe McG: Ah, thanks. I wonder if what became "Penthouse" magazine was referencing that show with a wink.
	10:52am Listener Alexandra: On a totally unrelated topic, Happy Winter Solstice, Joe!
	10:53am ChrisB.: boy, this tune is all over the place.
	10:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex! I'll be playing some wintry material shortly.
	10:53am Listener Alexandra: I'll be listening :-)
	10:54am dennis diken: digging the show Joe!
	10:54am ChrisB.: To Lonely, Love Mel.
	10:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Dennis! Congrats on the cool gig behind the Davies brothers! WOW!
	10:55am dennis diken: man, it was fun!
	10:56am Joe McG: Everyone looked so happy in the videos online!
	👻 10:57am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Quick hello, up in London getting a little culture and eating Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Happy Christmas to everyone.
	10:57am dennis diken: well...we were!
	10:57am Joe McG: Happy Christmas, Brian!
	10:57am Cecile: Never thought about that, Joe, but it makes sense.
	10:58am Cecile: were there a couple of Marshall Tucker guys in this band?
	10:59am jen v.: Joe!! I love this song & your show & you.
	10:59am steve: yesss
	11:01am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't know, but it's likely! @jen: JEN! So nice to hear from you, love to you, too!
	11:01am nEIL cOMMA wILD: @ Joe-can you play something that was super popular on WFMU back in 1992?
	11:03am Cecile: I like this better than Exile's. It's weird, but the disco version is less slimy than the country-ish version.
	11:03am Joe McG: @nEIL: I'm going to play a Stereolab 45 next week. Does that count?
	11:04am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Sure!
	11:04am KP: Rip off of Jeff Beck Group (w/ Rod Stewart)!!!
	11:05am Joe McG: @KP: But a good rip-off!
	11:06am Cecile: I looked up the James Montgomery band - they were out of Boston! Very popular there in the 70s too, I gather.
	11:06am maja: Yess good here. Just arrived did I miss something?
	11:08am Cecile: it's no Diamonds and Rust, but it's good.
	👻 11:08am doctorjazz: Saw Jon Hendricks a few months ago, gotten quite old, but still put on a fun show
	11:08am Ear Hammer: "this is not a threat"
	👻 11:08am doctorjazz: 1 Vote for the Morning Dew Show!
	11:09am Guido from Cologne: dcon't miss to invite Bonnie Dobson
	11:09am KP: Great idea! Grateful Dead did it great live. I wonder if there any such recordings
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Nina Simone played that!
	11:13am KP: I saw it
	11:14am Brendan: Making a u turn
	11:15am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Wikipedia says Morning Dew is about the two last man and woman after an apocalypse. WOW!
	11:15am Brendan: Was heading in for the 'nude party' thanks for the heads up
	11:20am Brendan: Lovin this Winter Bong
	11:20am JakeGould: I’m with you on winter to an extent. If the days are shorter and the sun sets earlier in the day, I want the weather to match the daylight span. If you give me bright, sunny, warm days in “winter” I will eat them up but they are disconcerting to experience nonetheless.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The 1st slush is the most beautiful.
	11:23am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I love cross country skiing with my camera. I have an awesome shot of a wild crabapple encased in ice with lots of bokeh behind it. Shot with a Pentax 50mm F 1.4.
	11:26am Brendan: We are the monks that chant
	👻 11:27am Ken From Hyde Park: There's a quote I attribute to Rod Stewart: "The first slush is the deepest."
	11:32am Brendan: By-Tor and the Snow Dog is a winter epic
	11:33am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha, it sure is!
	11:34am V Priceless: Great stuff, Joe! Merry Xmas to ya!
	11:34am pgw in mntclr: Gord's gold
	11:35am Ear Hammer: :)
	11:35am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: “Bokeh?” You mean depth of field for us normals.
	11:36am nEIL cOMMA wILD: Oh, sorry. Bokeh is actually the severely blurry background in a shot....brought about by severly THIN depth of field.
	11:39am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: Touché! What tea you be sipping?
	11:39am Joe McG: Thanks, VP! Hope all is well!
	11:41am nEIL cOMMA wILD: I met a man who was told by a doctor 15 years ago he had five years to live....so he asked the doctor surely there must be something I could TRY...he said Four cups of green tea a day,.,,Joe passed away this year.....15 years later....so I sip green tea when I do drink tea...
	11:49am JakeGould: @nEILcOMMAwILD: !!!
	11:50am Brendan: Dance!... Faster!
	11:51am Guido from Cologne: do you get all the Bear family releases @ WFMU?
	11:52am Joe McG: @Guido: I wish! We get none.
	11:53am Joe McG: Or let me amend that to say "Very few." We have gotten one now and then, but I don't know if they send them or we buy them.
	11:54am Guido from Cologne: You'll get some from me!
	11:54am Joe McG: Well, folks, my time here is nearly through, so let me take this opportunity to thank you for listening and commenting, and I hope you all have a very happy holiday, if you're celebrating, and a very fine week, if you're not!
	11:55am Guido from Cologne: My package is still in the making but soon to be finished
