Listener comments!
	10:05pm Doug Schulkind: Dangerous non-European Holmes!
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: hopefully the still let me back in next time i leave....
	10:07pm Little Danny: Hi Kris! Strong start - that Radiants is a major fave of mine
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: Dan it's a stone classic!!
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: flip of the electrons 45 playing now is actually another version of the radiants heh
	10:10pm Uncle Michael: This Electrons disproved my theory that I never needed to hear this song again.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: I don't suppose they recorded Mustang Sally or Stormy Monday?
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: ugh, nope hahaha
	10:14pm Little Danny: @UM I'm generally with you on "Midnight Hour," though the Mod 4 (all-female garage band from the Midwest) and Ray Brown & the Whispers did serviceable versions.
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: That should be a viral Facebook list thing. Ten songs you don't dislike per se...but that you don't ever need to hear again, as long as you live.
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: See Danny, a lack of great recordings of Midnight Hour isn't the issue. It's one of those song that's taken up as much of my attention across the decades as it could ever possibly justify.
	10:20pm Little Danny: I hear ya UM. I feel the same way about a lot of popular soul & R&B evergreens. Tho of course I'm drawing a complete blank on specific titles right now
	10:20pm Kris Holmes: Ray Brown did some good versions of stuff for sure
	10:20pm Uncle Michael: Cliff Nobles had more than one record!
	10:20pm Little Danny: I will still devour any version of "Tighten Up" howevs
	🥁 10:21pm JtotheK: re: midnight hour -- what's the verdict on the Ann Mason featuring Little Mac and the Boss Sounds answer record "You Can't Love Me (In the Midnight Hour)" on Atlantic. I dig it!
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Yeah this Cliff Nobles ain't even mentioning a Horse anywhere
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: the Ann Mason is great, i'm a fan of that
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: I love the story that Archie was in jail the first time he heard his record...whether it's true or not.
	10:22pm Little Danny: @J2tK: oh yeah, that's a good version!
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: My man Richard Evans playing this bass line, on Zambezi, I think.
	10:24pm Little Danny: Richard Evans all over all the Soulful Strings!
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: i thought Archie was in Vietnam when it hit?
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: Kind of his baby. many years ago I started learning about him when I finally decided, screw it....I gotta know who's playing the bass on Gene Chandler's "Groovy Situation". One of the best bass parts ever.
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: Maybe so, Kris..like I said, whether it's true or not.
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: Richard Evans runs deep in credits
	🥁 10:27pm JtotheK: @Little Danny -- re: Tighten Up - I hope to find Roosevelt Matthews with Billy Ball and the Upsetters 'Tighten Up Tighter' on King someday in a 50 cent bin.
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: Not nearly as famous as he deserves to be.
	10:28pm Kris Holmes: one that i left in NZ & am now fearful for it's safe passage to texas....
	10:28pm Little Danny: Good luck on that Jason! That's definitely one of my fave versions
	🥁 10:31pm JtotheK: and speaking of Gene Chandler -- I've seen plenty of his 45s over the years, but still haven't come across "In My Body's House" on Checker, or 'Mr Big Shot' on Constellation.
	🥁 10:32pm JtotheK: The Yellow Magic Orchestra cover of 'Tighten Up' is pretty great, too!
	10:32pm Uncle Michael: Any Bobby Freeman tonight, Kris?
	10:32pm Little Danny: Is this Vareeations one of those 45s where the A-side is the vocal version?
	10:38pm Kris Holmes: nah it's a totally different thing
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: I want a new drug...I mean Ghostbuster...I mean...
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: uncertain re. Bobby Freeman (RIP) don't know if I have any with me here at the moment
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: Big baby feet.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: hello Kris and Holmies

	11:25pm coelacanth∅: mine too... so raw so passionate
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: that village of Love 45 is the most i've ever paid for 2 songs, one of which i didn't know. -first heard it during a wfmu marathon in the 80s and i was recording it onto cassette but during the git solo they yelled out the pledge number! ...so i went hunting.
	11:30pm Little Danny: Kris, have you heard Mayer's originally unreleased "I Don't Want No Bald Headed Woman Telling Me What To Do" that came out on Norton in the early 2000s? Intense stuff!
	11:31pm Kris Holmes: ha great story coelacanth
