	8:02pm JakeGould: Woo! Hoo!
	8:03pm glenn: no. an amish drive by shooting.
	8:05pm JakeGould: @glenn: That is one stupid joke. I respect you but I am ashamed of you.
	8:06pm JakeGould: @Becky: I caught a variant of the NYC/NJ flu in the past few days. One day of dellusionally not thinking I’m sick. One day of really being sick. And then today, finally over the hump.
	8:06pm glenn: it's a cross i'll have to bear.
	8:07pm JakeGould: @glenn: Leave the bears out of this.
	8:07pm Becky: @Jake At least six DJs have been felled in the past week alone!
	♥ 8:08pm sweeks: I noticed a lot of the DJs were sick after the marathon--I figured it was some bad food sitting out too long in the studio or something.
	8:08pm glenn: i don't have to beat the bear, jake. i just have to beat you.
	8:09pm JakeGould: @Becky: I know! I was bragging to Gaylord Fields on Sunday’s playlist that I volunteered for the marathon twice, was surrounded by many of the DJs who are now ill and I was fine… Maybe schadenfreude caught up with me and gave me a whack of the flu.
	8:09pm JakeGould: @glenn: Okay, no need to be physical. I respect you I said.
	♥ 8:09pm dale: love the gunfighter ballad genre.
	8:11pm glenn: :]
	8:13pm Mailman Tom: Do whatever is necessary to protect your voice, Becky. It sounds like honey!
	8:14pm JakeGould: FunFact™: I wanted to pet and play with Pat Byrne’s dog JubJub, but JubJub was too distracted… Smelling everything in the station because there are so many things to smell!
	8:15pm ericd: Hello Becky! Just tuned in via the internet. I'm listening from Satna Fe tonight.
	8:15pm glenn: honey poured on sandpaper.
	8:16pm Becky: @ericd Hey there! Hope Santa Fe is great - have a margarita for me!
	8:16pm P-90: Howdy, HTRG and all the Beckaroos at the Radio Ranch!
	8:17pm ericd: @Becky Will do!!
	8:20pm JakeGould: So is Werly short for anything?
	8:20pm glenn: werlitzer?
	8:21pm Becky: @Jake Werley. Not much of an abbreviation.
	8:21pm JakeGould: “Just call me Werl.” “Simply Werl.”
	8:21pm P-90: "Werlyberd"?
	8:25pm Becky: I don't understand this song.
	8:25pm JakeGould: Well, hey… Wilf is short for Wilfred. Also, this is the most non-seductive pitch to get on the air from someone named Wilf I have ever heard.
	8:25pm ericd: HA! It's the nicest threat.
	8:27pm Wilf !: also check out YT for Wilf's "There's a Love Knot in My Lariat"
	8:27pm JakeGould: “Wild and Werl: Together At Last”
	8:30pm ericd: Is the Tennessee Three the backing band in Don't Knock..?
	8:36pm glenn: wilf carter was canadian. we're subtle folk.
	8:38pm JakeGould: Bob Gibson sounds like Phil Ochs.
	♥ 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Will the Wilf Survive. Where there's a Wilf there's a way. Wilf/milf joke of choice...
	8:44pm ericd: Loving this Jim Shelby version.
	8:44pm Becky: @ericd I would guess not, as it was the very last country single cut for Sun, but I can't swear to that.
	♥ 8:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - so much Blues in Hank Sr. - just wondering what would've happened had he made it just a little longer for Rock'n'Roll to happen. The Jim Shelby shows how short the distance was.
	8:48pm glenn: bob gibson also holds the single sesson e.r.a. record, if memory serves.
	8:48pm glenn: season.
	8:49pm JakeGould: Donnie Owens is really doing a decent job with this cover.
	8:50pm Mailman Tom: Has anyone seen the new bio-pic about Hank Williams? It's titled, I've Seen the Light.
	8:51pm glenn: i'm sure everybody knows that hoyt axton's mom wrote heartbreak hotel.
	♥ 8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the distance from Country to Folk (/'Protest') - before LBJ signed the Civil Rights Bill & the South was lost to the Left...
	8:58pm glenn: welp, google has no info on johnny lawton.
	8:59pm glenn: although uriah heep's singer was john lawton.
	♥ 9:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always amazing & fun.
	1:43pm el kabong splains: RE: “You don't have to shoot me to get me off the radio” in "Hey Hey Mr. DJ": Apparently Wilf Carter was singing about the reputation he'd made with radio deejays who were now reluctant to invite him back on the air for being a guest who'd never finish plugging away, or know when to hush up, or know when it was time to mosey on down the road: “You've often heard the story of when I'm on a jockey's show, of how they've gotta shoot me to get me off the radio.” (Like over-texting FMU innate commenters who ought get kabonged.)
