	8:19pm melinda: Ho, Linda!
	8:19pm sugarwolf: @Gaylord: I left the cake at work, sorry I have none to share tonight
	8:19pm zm: wonderful Lewis Sis..
	8:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Gaylord and all. Glad to be part of the Cake 'n' Bake Woof Moo Sunday evening programming experience.
	8:22pm Uncle Michael: mmmm...mole'
	8:22pm Gaylord Fields: @zm: They were singing schoolteacher siblings from Detroit! What's not to love?
	8:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: That's Brazilian mole, which is probably different and possibly a blind, burrowing rodent.
	8:24pm Uncle Michael: mmmm...mole
	8:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Hi!
	8:26pm sugarwolf: Holy mole
	8:27pm gal_x: Here I go again… Good evening (^.^)//
	8:27pm Linda Lee: love that Kleenex side! long time no hear!
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: Welcome! Welcome! Purr!
	8:28pm geezerette: ye-ye bebe! Play it backwards Gaylord!
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I unearthed it recently and knew I had to play it!
	8:29pm Linda Lee: so glad. always loved it!
	8:29pm Fuzzy: On Pickwick no less! Amazing! Nice find!
	8:30pm Gaylord Fields: @Fuzzy: This song is possibly the best thing on Pickwick that didn't have any Lou Reed involvement.
	8:31pm Linda Lee: did the vocalist from Tribe guest on the Airplane's 'Lather'? bet they did! :-)
	8:33pm Linda Lee: sublime show so far .. :-)
	8:33pm Gaylord Fields: The vocalist is singing "forked" (two syllables), in case a representative of the FCC is monitoring this program.
	8:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I'll take that as incentive to try to keep it going. ;-)
	8:40pm Gaylord Fields: I love a good accidental locked groove!
	8:40pm zm: Thanks Gaylord, I just ordered The Lewis Sisters /You Need Me EP at Discogs. btw my favorite rack from your show ever was Smokey Roberds /We've Only Just Began..., there is nice CM video on youtube too.
	8:40pm evita: Quite the remix, here.
	8:41pm Gaylord Fields: @zm: That Smokey Roberds version is a really nice rendition of a favorite song.
	8:42pm Gaylord Fields: @evita: That was by my favorite remixer: DJ Worn Groove!
	8:43pm evita: But that Kleenex made my night.
	8:43pm Linda Lee: always love what happens to sound on vinyl over time ~ how each disc develops its own 'personality' because of what happens to it. just love the medium ~ always did.
	8:48pm Gaylord Fields: @evita: In the early 80s I went irredeemably mad over everything Kleenex/Liliput did!
	8:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dusty - stating the obvious but - imagine someone w/ that voice being so insecure...it's a nutty world.
	8:50pm evita: The 80's are sorely missed.
	8:51pm maestroso: Wow, this is a great Dusty track!
	8:56pm zm: I thought Smoky Roberds wrote it for Crocker Bank TV ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVGmdwHTP1I There was interview of Richard how he got his arrangement approval from Smokey (i.e. Roger Nichols) at parking lot!
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @maestroso: It's certainly an outlier in Dusty's catalog, but good heavens does it scorch the Earth!
	8:59pm Scraps: h'lo beeble h'lo
	9:02pm Gaylord Fields: @zm: Smokey Roberds and Roger Nichols are separate people. Nichols and Paul Williams wrote it initially as a Crocker Bank ad, and Roberds (under the name Freddie Allen) released it first on White Whale.
	9:03pm Scraps: Liliput is awesome! I liked this track on Cornelius's album -- Fantasma? -- hadn't heard it in this take
	9:04pm melinda: Mort Garson called himself Lucifer, that's funny.
	9:06pm sugarwolf: Do you have Albert Finney's Motown record?
	9:06pm zm: oh no. Thanks Gaylord!
	9:08pm Linda Lee: love this James Price. very sweet.
	9:08pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Scraps!
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...look up & see me on the - (☽) !...
	9:11pm Linda Lee: amazing segue Price >Love!
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: The Price of Love?
	9:12pm Linda Lee: could be! :-) amazing records!
	9:12pm maestroso: The Wayfarers version of this song is quite good.
	9:13pm Carmichael: This is Bryan MacLean love, if I'm any judge of his stuff.
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You say FC = 'BestAlbumEver' I wouldn't fight ya.
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @maestroso: I've referred to that one and only Wayfarers LP as being either 20 years too late or 10 years too early.
	9:14pm Linda Lee: you are just amazing Mr. Fields. wow. :-)
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: 100% Arthur on that one; Bryan's best moment on FC is "Alone Again Or."
	9:16pm maestroso: @Gaylord: well now I must hunt it down.
	9:19pm Carmichael: No kidding? I guess I'm no judge after all. I didn't figure Lee for writing so softly and insightfully.
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's Arthur describing the 'scene' w/ irony & the mind game of implying words not sung - very him. Great Yin/Yang dynamic him & Bryan...part of why that album is so rich but perfectly balanced...
	9:22pm Linda Lee: amazing .. music i dismissed as 'corny' when new .. sounds so beautiful to Older Me. aging, or wiser? :-)
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the person singing is most often the writer - maybe in Rawk bands especially? Clearly not a rule... @Linda: I think back & remember laughing @ stuff while also liking it on some other level. Course, kids do that...Not my relation to current Pop40...
	9:25pm Linda Lee: no, mine either. no idea really.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: The stuff I like now that I was supposed to mock then, I liked then. Long live pop. Not that I get the pop of now. But that's not a problem for me, nor the people making it.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: Some velvet mornng? THIS velvet morning.
	9:30pm melinda: Great instrumental version.
	9:30pm geezerette: Gabor Szabo. :)
	9:30pm Gaylord Fields: It's always a velvet morning somewhere.
	9:31pm melinda: @Gaylord: words of wisdom
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: Szabo Gabor...the sister we don't speak of.
	9:32pm Carmichael: Ok, switched from the office to the garage, where things work better.
	9:33pm Linda Lee: Verlaine!!! sweet! :-)
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Growing up in the 1970s - that was a time of change for the Music Market - & I guess the Craft. I remember knowing I was over-exposed to say - 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon'. But I knew it was a good Pop song, to the extent I understood such things then (or ever). We knew what a Hook was when it was in us...
	9:35pm Linda Lee: absolutely! raised on em.
	9:35pm melinda: This is beautiful.
	9:35pm Uncle Michael: What makes that a good pop song is that I hated it then...don't think of it now...but I know every damned word of it.
	9:36pm Opal: Very soothing!
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but maybe they felt the same in the 1920s - & now... So he can play guitar can Tom...speaking of BestAlbumsEver... Right UM.
	9:37pm Linda Lee: i hear the first birds singing on a mountain morning in the Verlaine. very clever!
	9:38pm melinda: The whole concept of what we like vs. what we're supposed to like (is it cool, or age-appropriate) is an interesting one.
	9:41pm Linda Lee: a lifetime of listening to music has got to circle around that question :-)
	9:41pm Uncle Michael: I've bucked against it for as long as I can remember. I try to avoid polluting matters of taste with both "cool" and "age-appropriate". How else could I play a record that came out when I was 19...if were 110 today.
	9:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lotsa gittar players - but that's Touch. ...Also re A.M. Gold & the Pop40 & all - on one hand, we took so much for granted in Culture - but yeah - it was Serious Business in Modernism. Here in PostPostPost-Modernism, we're used to buffet-style Culture. We don't expect any Statement to be so Life or Death - or to provide Answers so much...I sometimes think. Tho' I think FMUvians give a serious sh*t about Music...
	9:43pm Linda Lee: .. while keeping our healthy skepticism :-D
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Somewhere I learned early that the Greats all had big ears & Eclectic tastes - tho' I respect a dedicated & focused Purist (/Stylist). This is characteristic of Music - & I think Wynton Marsalis said it. You can close your eyes - but not your ears.
	9:45pm Linda Lee: brilliant. right on there.
	9:46pm Uncle Michael: Our personal tastes aside, we can stipulate that dance, theater, visual arts, film, "serious music" and literature of significant merit transcend fashion and break free of time. Why it should be so different for vernacular and popular music eludes me.
	9:47pm Linda Lee: someone chatting with Charlie Parker in some famous interview was shocked at his wide-ranging tastes. but why?
	9:49pm Linda Lee: & then there's the vernacular that transcends the vernacular. pop + time = classiic? :-D
	9:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Gaylord. Hope you can enjoy the warm weather this week.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & Burt & Dionne here illustrating when Pop & Art collided - like - still waiting to not be fixated by the 1960s - but it hasn't happened yet... People don't understand that Jazz Artists are most often as disciplined as Classical ones. Ask other Musicians about the mind of Bird. After Modernism - what is 'Classical'? 'Folk'? 'Popular'? After the 20thCentury - what is Civilization or Sanity, for that matter...
	9:51pm maestroso: Wow. Lush. Great.
	9:51pm Uncle Michael: Classic to me signifies that its merits transcend the elements that date it. I don't like "classic" as a code word for of-a-certain-vintage very much.
	9:51pm gal_x: small memories… Burt Bacharach playing on a small tv, at the back of a small restaurant, while in a small village in PH. 2007.
	9:52pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: How lovely!
	9:53pm Uncle Michael: I love Lindsey. I just straight up love him.
	9:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I'm a massive Lindsey fan as well!
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I can hear Roky Erickson doing this.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: I shall and I have.
	9:55pm Dean: Know what made me a Lindsey fan? "Trouble."
	9:55pm Linda Lee: questions of civilization & sanity seem easier to answer than genre questions, at this point ~
	9:55pm Dean: Yeah, it took that long.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Dean: As it should.
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes when I want to get knocked on my ass, I like to play "Big Love" off Lindsey's solo live album.
	9:56pm Dean: When younger, my son referred to me as Daddy Buckinghams, for reasons that I don't quite fathom. Oh hell yeah, that "Big Love" is grand.
	9:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Dean: I think I'll refer to him as "Daddy Buckinghams" myself.
	9:57pm Linda Lee: that's lovely. 'Daddy Buckinghams' :-)
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: Does anyone else think the "Go Insane" video ws an Eraserhead homage?
	9:58pm Dave in Vermont: sweet show, Gaylord. thanks
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for a wonderful time, Gaylord.
	9:58pm melinda: Thanks Gaylord!
	9:59pm Linda Lee: brilliant show Mr Fields! thank you!
	9:59pm Carmichael: Yep, thanks!
	9:59pm gal_x: Thank you, Gaylord. Good night. (^_^)
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - Thx GF! Had coffee & got chatty - I'll leave this window open way out let some air in...
	10:00pm Fuzzy: Good stuff, Gaylord -- thanks!

	9:41pm Linda Lee: a lifetime of listening to music has got to circle around that question :-)
	9:41pm Uncle Michael: I've bucked against it for as long as I can remember. I try to avoid polluting matters of taste with both "cool" and "age-appropriate". How else could I play a record that came out when I was 19...if were 110 today.
	9:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lotsa gittar players - but that's Touch. ...Also re A.M. Gold & the Pop40 & all - on one hand, we took so much for granted in Culture - but yeah - it was Serious Business in Modernism. Here in PostPostPost-Modernism, we're used to buffet-style Culture. We don't expect any Statement to be so Life or Death - or to provide Answers so much...I sometimes think. Tho' I think FMUvians give a serious sh*t about Music...
	9:43pm Linda Lee: .. while keeping our healthy skepticism :-D
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Somewhere I learned early that the Greats all had big ears & Eclectic tastes - tho' I respect a dedicated & focused Purist (/Stylist). This is characteristic of Music - & I think Wynton Marsalis said it. You can close your eyes - but not your ears.
	9:45pm Linda Lee: brilliant. right on there.
	9:46pm Uncle Michael: Our personal tastes aside, we can stipulate that dance, theater, visual arts, film, "serious music" and literature of significant merit transcend fashion and break free of time. Why it should be so different for vernacular and popular music eludes me.
	9:47pm Linda Lee: someone chatting with Charlie Parker in some famous interview was shocked at his wide-ranging tastes. but why?
	9:49pm Linda Lee: & then there's the vernacular that transcends the vernacular. pop + time = classiic? :-D
	9:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Gaylord. Hope you can enjoy the warm weather this week.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & Burt & Dionne here illustrating when Pop & Art collided - like - still waiting to not be fixated by the 1960s - but it hasn't happened yet... People don't understand that Jazz Artists are most often as disciplined as Classical ones. Ask other Musicians about the mind of Bird. After Modernism - what is 'Classical'? 'Folk'? 'Popular'? After the 20thCentury - what is Civilization or Sanity, for that matter...
	9:51pm maestroso: Wow. Lush. Great.
	9:51pm Uncle Michael: Classic to me signifies that its merits transcend the elements that date it. I don't like "classic" as a code word for of-a-certain-vintage very much.
	9:51pm gal_x: small memories… Burt Bacharach playing on a small tv, at the back of a small restaurant, while in a small village in PH. 2007.
	9:52pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: How lovely!
	9:53pm Uncle Michael: I love Lindsey. I just straight up love him.
	9:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I'm a massive Lindsey fan as well!
	9:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I can hear Roky Erickson doing this.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: I shall and I have.
	9:55pm Dean: Know what made me a Lindsey fan? "Trouble."
	9:55pm Linda Lee: questions of civilization & sanity seem easier to answer than genre questions, at this point ~
	9:55pm Dean: Yeah, it took that long.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Dean: As it should.
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes when I want to get knocked on my ass, I like to play "Big Love" off Lindsey's solo live album.
	9:56pm Dean: When younger, my son referred to me as Daddy Buckinghams, for reasons that I don't quite fathom. Oh hell yeah, that "Big Love" is grand.
	9:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Dean: I think I'll refer to him as "Daddy Buckinghams" myself.
	9:57pm Linda Lee: that's lovely. 'Daddy Buckinghams' :-)
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: Does anyone else think the "Go Insane" video ws an Eraserhead homage?
	9:58pm Dave in Vermont: sweet show, Gaylord. thanks
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for a wonderful time, Gaylord.
	9:58pm melinda: Thanks Gaylord!
	9:59pm Linda Lee: brilliant show Mr Fields! thank you!
	9:59pm Carmichael: Yep, thanks!
	9:59pm gal_x: Thank you, Gaylord. Good night. (^_^)
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - Thx GF! Had coffee & got chatty - I'll leave this window open way out let some air in...
	10:00pm Fuzzy: Good stuff, Gaylord -- thanks!
