Listener comments!
	9:51am Sem Chumbo: Too soon?
	11:45am Bill Mac: Who let you in?
	11:49am Sem Chumbo: I bribed the doorman with some just-baked bialys. Really, ya gotta tighten up security around there. Lightbulbs, more light, that would help a LOT. Hiya, Bill.
	11:55am fred: @Bill: The pic on your playlists page was used for a music festival at work a few years ago. We peons had some fun saying it symbolized the effort to stop time while in a precarious position, as people in the street don't give a fuck
	11:55am Bill Mac: Seriously, a story for whenever we get to share a beer.
	11:57am Bill Mac: Thanks Fred - I like it because Harold is always gets short shrift compared to Buster
	12:04pm Sem Chumbo: Cool, is that one of those Third Man zithers?
	12:06pm Bill Mac: I thought it sounded like a hammer dulcimer
	12:06pm P-90: Zzzzzzzithers?
	12:06pm Sem Chumbo: Ah, the cimbalom. OK.

	12:13pm Sem Chumbo: Likewise.
	12:14pm Stanley: Hey, hey. Jeez it's dark in here (trips going up the stairs, miraculously his bottle of Old and Peculiar is still intact, bends down to retrieve it and watches his quarter bottle of special malt fall from his top pocket) Anyone got a pan and brush?
	12:14pm Bill Mac: Ah yes, hammered dulcimer - a band that eventually comes to mind that uses it - Taraf de Haidouks. All hail you mudder scratchers!!!
	12:15pm Sem Chumbo: Not a sponge?
	12:16pm P-90: I've seen a few dulcimer players at Renaissance Fairs who were definitely hammered. Definitely,
	12:18pm Sem Chumbo: Johnny be oud tonight. Rockin' thing, this.
	12:18pm Brian in UK: The police used to be referred to as the fuzz over here many years ago.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: Happy Record Store Day,though the REAL Day will be AAT the fmu record fair.
	12:20pm Bill Mac: Likewise here.... Berberian caught my eye because he wrote the tune "Chem-oo-Chem, covered by Brave Combo years later.
	12:20pm Brian in UK: Has that Rounder got two cocks as well as everything else.
	12:20pm Bill Mac: I will be at the Fair next Saturday!
	12:21pm Bill Mac: I only see one...
	12:22pm Brian in UK: ....and we will go riding in those big tea cups that spin round and rounder.
	12:24pm Brian in UK: Perhaps it is Grant Wood's bizarre cousins take on American Gothic.
	12:25pm Sem Chumbo: I was going to say it looked like Haitian zombie cucumber art.
	12:28pm Stanley: Nice tattoo
	12:29pm Brian in UK: Sem, seen any good icebergs recently or are they a bit eastwards?
	12:29pm Brian in UK: Stanley coming from Edinburgh you should know a good tattoo.
	12:30pm Stanley: (Where are my manners?) Good afternoon, Bill and '0' Heads
	12:30pm Stanley: Brian - it's taboo to poo-poo the tattoo
	12:31pm Bill Mac: Stanley!!!! A bigger hello to Mrs Stanley who stopped by a few weeks back
	12:31pm Brian in UK: Canny as a Campbell.
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Klucevsek does great stuff, picked up "Teetering on the Verge of Normalcy" recently.
	12:33pm Brian in UK: doc is that Ossie in the avatar?
	12:33pm 20 Million Robot Butts: this good music is being assimilated into our sound receiving ports lol
	12:35pm Sem Chumbo: Brian: Icebergs viewable from Trinity Newfoundland (pinned on this map), I am opposite Saint John, New Brunswick. goo.gl...
	12:35pm doctorjazz: That is indeed Ozzie, trying out for a DJ slot.
	12:37pm Stanley: Free association football
	12:40pm Sem Chumbo: Gives a whole new meaning to getting legless.
	12:41pm fred: Well, I didn't bring it up because I didn't get it
	12:43pm Bill Mac: Apparently he and his brother lived in NJ.
	12:48pm Brian in UK: Half man, half biscuit.
	12:48pm Parq: Hey, Bill. Sorry I'm late. Lazy Saturday.
	12:49pm Stanley: Surely just half man?
	12:49pm Brian in UK: Sem, love that area in Newfoundland called Joe Batt's Arm.
	12:50pm Brian in UK: Stanley trying to pep it up a bit.
	12:50pm fred: I liked this Denise James track. It's starred as new on the playlist, but discogs says it's from 2006: www.discogs.com... Different Denise James?
	12:50pm Brian in UK: He was but some bugger dunked him in a cuppa.
	12:52pm Bill Mac: @Fred Ooooops... my mistake
	12:55pm Brian in UK: Oh to be fifty again.
	12:57pm Sem Chumbo: A close look at a Newfoundland map will have you howlin', then, BiUK
	1:01pm Stanley: Thanks for playing that, Bill. Me and the Missus have tix to see the 50 Song Memoir with The Magnetic Fields in August
	1:01pm mauri: Hey Bill Mac! Everyone! Sunny saturday to all!
	1:01pm Brian in UK: See what you mean, Muddy hole, Dildo and Third Armpit (well I made the last one up)
	1:03pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, mauri! Good to see you.
	1:04pm Brian in UK: mauri, how is the nude cycling going?
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: hello Bill & Relative Zzzzzzeros
	1:05pm mauri: Hey Sem you too! Brian my arse is sore.
	1:06pm Sem Chumbo: Look who has emerged from the depths. Hey, coel.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: hey Sem! yeah, i was following the sunshine!
	1:09pm Sem Chumbo: Clever.
	1:10pm Bill Mac: I swear you guys are working together...
	1:10pm Stanley: I suppose the later Hi Ball Years weren't the same
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: my mother sometimes drank a "high ball" when i was little. i still don't know what's in one.
	1:13pm P-90: Yes, Hello to coel , still not extinct
	1:15pm Sem Chumbo: ..and distinct for that.
	1:15pm P-90: And thanks @DJ Bill for being the first human I ever heard mash The Ventures, B-52s, and Pet Clark together in a musical discourse
	1:16pm Stanley: @ coelacanth∅ - I thought a "high ball" was a type of glass, rather than a drink. I might be wrong
	1:17pm Bill Mac: What happened and where are my pants?
	1:18pm Brian in UK: Bill, usual place on your head.
	1:19pm Sem Chumbo: Have another highball, Bill, and that matter will cease to matter.
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: hey P-90! how ya been? - hopefully also not extinct. (that's guitar pick-up, no?)
	1:22pm P-90: A "Highball" can be either a cocktail or a glass or neither, depending on your context and your anatomy
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Stanley that's feasible. it was probably my parents' own code -like they always used that type of glass for a particular drink.
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: okay, i cheated and it looks like P-90's correct. the drink is the simplest mixed drink, ie: liquor with one non-alcoholic beverage added.
	1:26pm mauri: I see you have no pants Bill. Would you be interested in purchasing a bicycle for some wheeling activities?
	1:27pm Sem Chumbo: Completely unrehearsed, nice one, mauri.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: just keep that funny looking hat on so you don't get a chill.
	1:28pm Bill Mac: Wheeling activities? I assume we're still talking about bicycles?
	1:28pm Brian in UK: Bill, got to cut and run shortly. Will catch the remainder of this stunning musical gallimaufry later. Have a good weekend, folks.
	1:28pm Stanley: Well, the UK certainly has the nude cycling scene well and truly sorted www.worldnakedbikeride.org...
	1:29pm Bill Mac: Right-oh Brian! I'm back in a couple weeks possibly see you then!
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: Cheerio, Brian
	1:29pm Stanley: See you Brian. Have a good evening.
	1:30pm Sem Chumbo: See ya later, BiUK.
	1:30pm mauri: Bye bye Brian
	1:31pm mauri: There's nudist 10km run in Finland. My friend took a part and won.
	1:36pm Fran: A quick hello all - off to see Shobaleader One and Wire soon.
	1:37pm Sem Chumbo: Just when I was going to ask the burning question: Will Fran stand us up today? Hey, Frannnnnnn!
	1:37pm Fran: Sem!!!!! As if I could......
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: hay put credit where credit's due. robert plant was a master thief as well.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: ("hay"?)
	1:39pm Sem Chumbo: Highball bar is now closed.
	1:40pm Fran: You didn't shout Last Orders Sem!
	1:41pm Sem Chumbo: Right you are, Fran. A round on me, then.
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: andy johns produced led zeppelin
	1:42pm mauri: Can I still get a drink if I buy a spud with it?
	1:43pm Sem Chumbo: ONLY if you buy a spud.
	1:44pm Bill Mac: @CC Figgers - Right under my nose
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: (and brother of much inferior producer glyn jons)
	1:44pm Stanley: Hi Fran - had to check out Shobaleader One, as I must admit, I hadn't heard of them. Looking very interesting funky jazz vibe. Enjoy
	1:44pm Fran: Spuds!!!! Crisps...............
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: ("johns"!... jeez what's wrong with m typing skills today?)
	1:47pm fred: @coel: too many high-balls?
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: hmm, or not enough! - i better have a spud first though...
	1:50pm Bill Mac: Hey Fran!!!!
	1:52pm Stanley: Loving this seventies euro style thing
	1:57pm Sem Chumbo: So much Latin American music is filled with trumpets. Insights, anyone?
	1:57pm Stanley: You're grooving along nicely, Bill.
	1:59pm Bill Mac: Good shoe today!
	2:00pm Stanley: A good shoe is all we can ask for.
	2:02pm Bill Mac: @Sem I think the question you should be asking is rock music is filled with guitars. Insights?
	2:02pm Fran: Hi Stanley - I will - its possibly the only Squarepusher project I genuinely like. Wire always a winner and in the same venue tomorrow Michael Rother supported by another Colin Newman project - that'll do for me!
	2:03pm fred: Speaking of theory, maybe I should have gone to the march for science
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: Bill, i agree. i always say i love "hip hop"/rap...maybe 2% of it.
	2:06pm melinda: hi bill and friends
	2:07pm Stanley: That's me, hoiked out of my chair. It's time to go out to eat. Bye all
	2:07pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, melinda. Off to a maple syrup supper myself pretty soon, Stanley. See ya soon!
	2:08pm Fran: See ya soon Stanley
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: seeya Stanley
	2:08pm fred: @Bill and coel: Billy Jam can help
	2:08pm mauri: Goodbye Stanley.
	2:09pm Fran: Not gone yet Bill - its Stanley!!!My head is still stuck around the door for a few more minutes...............
	2:10pm Bill Mac: At least stay for the Eartha number
	2:12pm Sem Chumbo: Got that thrillin' trillin' r going on. Cripes, some singer in any language.
	2:13pm fred: Clicky star for that Eartha track
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: it is gorgeous.
	2:14pm Bill Mac: I useta think she was exotic - she even spent a few years in Philadelphia
	2:19pm Sem Chumbo: OH!
	2:20pm Fran: I did Bill and I'm glad I did too! Like the Captain Beefheart techno mix!
	2:21pm Bill Mac: Second attempt coming shortly
	2:22pm doctorjazz: I'll take a stab at Latin American horn use...In the 30s and 40s, pop was dominated by big bands, both in Amareican Music and Latin American music, and there was lots of cross over, with Latin Big bands getting play and popularity in the US (to the point that Ricky Ricardo, Lucy's husband, became a TV celebrity). Pop tastes diverged, though, Louis Jordan streamlined jazz, and Bill Haley and others replaced the horns with guitar/bass/drums, which was more DIY, edgier, easier to manage and less expensive to tour with. Latin Music continued on to Salsa and other dance music, which remained horn and big band centric (economics probably played a roll; after the war, travelling with a big band in the US became much more expensive, the Union got more pay for players, and very few big bands survived). The fact that horn based music remained pop/dance music in Latin America kept that kind ot band front and center. (made this all up, but seems logical).
	2:23pm Fran: Balearic Beatzheart!
	2:24pm Bill Mac: I got two messages from above - no Beef today!
	2:24pm Sem Chumbo: Thank you for what seems to me to make perfect sense @doctorjazz.
	2:25pm Fran: Yes that was the vegetarian option Bill!
	2:25pm Sem Chumbo: Seriously, where's the Beef if it not on ZzzzzzeroHour? ;-D
	2:26pm Dave in Vermont: The Gibbs could write a song.
	2:26pm Fran: Final comment for tonight other than thanks and goodbye until next time is - am I imagining it that Ry Cooder must have modelled his singing on Percy Sledge - first time I've made the connection!
	2:30pm Bill Mac: @Dave - Yes indeedy - too bad they turned into the stylized hit machine later in their careers. They were just so good in the late 60s/early 70s.
	2:31pm Sem Chumbo: See again sometime, Fran!
	2:31pm doctorjazz: Pretty aggressive, soulful Darin here.
	2:32pm Bill Mac: Tanks for the insight Fran!
	2:45pm melinda: Making Believe is one of the best country songs.
	2:46pm Bill Mac: The Haggard version?
	2:46pm Michael and Bela: Just before Bed , here`s a short hello from Cologne to everyone and you ,Bill.
	2:47pm melinda: All versions that I've heard. I think Kitty Wells sang it also.
	2:47pm Bill Mac: M&B Hey! Pleasant dreams then!!!
	2:48pm Bill Mac: So it's like a standard. I really need to flesh out my knowledge of country music
	2:49pm Michael and Bela: Thank you, have a good week. until your next Fill-IN.
	2:50pm melinda: Me too, Bill! I think I had not heard Merle's version until now.
	2:51pm Sem Chumbo: This last set has lacked nothing for me. Thanks, Bill, and all. May 5th it is.
	2:51pm fred: @melinda: I think Kitty Wells' version is my favorite. Former (and sorely missed by me) DJ Laura Cantrell had a nice cover too on her "Kitty Wells Dresses" record, which I like a lot
	2:51pm Bill Mac: M&B Will do! Two weeks from now, same time same station!
	2:54pm melinda: @fred I'll have to look for that.
	2:55pm melinda: btw, is Cantrell pronounced with the accent on the first or last syllable?
	2:56pm doctorjazz: 1st syllable. Thanks, Bill, enjoyed the show.
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Miss Laura's show as well... Used to listen to her on WKCR before she came to FMU.
	2:57pm fred: @melinda: no idea. Maybe check her archives, though I don't remember whether she said her own name on the air
	2:57pm melinda: thanks dr.
	2:57pm Bill Mac: Thanks DJ, read your insights quickly on Latin music. Will review again when I have time to breathe!
	2:58pm Bill Mac: Thanks all for showing up - gotta fly!!! See you next time!

	3:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bill Great program! tchau camaradas

	12:30pm Stanley: Brian - it's taboo to poo-poo the tattoo
	12:31pm Bill Mac: Stanley!!!! A bigger hello to Mrs Stanley who stopped by a few weeks back
	12:31pm Brian in UK: Canny as a Campbell.
	12:32pm doctorjazz: Klucevsek does great stuff, picked up "Teetering on the Verge of Normalcy" recently.

	12:35pm Sem Chumbo: Brian: Icebergs viewable from Trinity Newfoundland (pinned on this map), I am opposite Saint John, New Brunswick. goo.gl...
	12:35pm doctorjazz: That is indeed Ozzie, trying out for a DJ slot.
	12:37pm Stanley: Free association football
	12:40pm Sem Chumbo: Gives a whole new meaning to getting legless.
	12:41pm fred: Well, I didn't bring it up because I didn't get it
	12:43pm Bill Mac: Apparently he and his brother lived in NJ.
	12:48pm Brian in UK: Half man, half biscuit.
	12:48pm Parq: Hey, Bill. Sorry I'm late. Lazy Saturday.
	12:49pm Stanley: Surely just half man?
	12:49pm Brian in UK: Sem, love that area in Newfoundland called Joe Batt's Arm.
	12:50pm Brian in UK: Stanley trying to pep it up a bit.
	12:50pm fred: I liked this Denise James track. It's starred as new on the playlist, but discogs says it's from 2006: www.discogs.com... Different Denise James?
	12:50pm Brian in UK: He was but some bugger dunked him in a cuppa.
	12:52pm Bill Mac: @Fred Ooooops... my mistake
	12:55pm Brian in UK: Oh to be fifty again.
	12:57pm Sem Chumbo: A close look at a Newfoundland map will have you howlin', then, BiUK
	1:01pm Stanley: Thanks for playing that, Bill. Me and the Missus have tix to see the 50 Song Memoir with The Magnetic Fields in August
	1:01pm mauri: Hey Bill Mac! Everyone! Sunny saturday to all!
	1:01pm Brian in UK: See what you mean, Muddy hole, Dildo and Third Armpit (well I made the last one up)
	1:03pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, mauri! Good to see you.
	1:04pm Brian in UK: mauri, how is the nude cycling going?
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: hello Bill & Relative Zzzzzzeros
	1:05pm mauri: Hey Sem you too! Brian my arse is sore.
	1:06pm Sem Chumbo: Look who has emerged from the depths. Hey, coel.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: hey Sem! yeah, i was following the sunshine!
	1:09pm Sem Chumbo: Clever.
	1:10pm Bill Mac: I swear you guys are working together...
	1:10pm Stanley: I suppose the later Hi Ball Years weren't the same
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: my mother sometimes drank a "high ball" when i was little. i still don't know what's in one.
	1:13pm P-90: Yes, Hello to coel , still not extinct
	1:15pm Sem Chumbo: ..and distinct for that.
	1:15pm P-90: And thanks @DJ Bill for being the first human I ever heard mash The Ventures, B-52s, and Pet Clark together in a musical discourse
	1:16pm Stanley: @ coelacanth∅ - I thought a "high ball" was a type of glass, rather than a drink. I might be wrong
	1:17pm Bill Mac: What happened and where are my pants?
	1:18pm Brian in UK: Bill, usual place on your head.
	1:19pm Sem Chumbo: Have another highball, Bill, and that matter will cease to matter.
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: hey P-90! how ya been? - hopefully also not extinct. (that's guitar pick-up, no?)
	1:22pm P-90: A "Highball" can be either a cocktail or a glass or neither, depending on your context and your anatomy
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Stanley that's feasible. it was probably my parents' own code -like they always used that type of glass for a particular drink.
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: okay, i cheated and it looks like P-90's correct. the drink is the simplest mixed drink, ie: liquor with one non-alcoholic beverage added.
	1:26pm mauri: I see you have no pants Bill. Would you be interested in purchasing a bicycle for some wheeling activities?
	1:27pm Sem Chumbo: Completely unrehearsed, nice one, mauri.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: just keep that funny looking hat on so you don't get a chill.
	1:28pm Bill Mac: Wheeling activities? I assume we're still talking about bicycles?
	1:28pm Brian in UK: Bill, got to cut and run shortly. Will catch the remainder of this stunning musical gallimaufry later. Have a good weekend, folks.
	1:28pm Stanley: Well, the UK certainly has the nude cycling scene well and truly sorted www.worldnakedbikeride.org...
	1:29pm Bill Mac: Right-oh Brian! I'm back in a couple weeks possibly see you then!
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: Cheerio, Brian
	1:29pm Stanley: See you Brian. Have a good evening.
	1:30pm Sem Chumbo: See ya later, BiUK.
	1:30pm mauri: Bye bye Brian
	1:31pm mauri: There's nudist 10km run in Finland. My friend took a part and won.
	1:36pm Fran: A quick hello all - off to see Shobaleader One and Wire soon.
	1:37pm Sem Chumbo: Just when I was going to ask the burning question: Will Fran stand us up today? Hey, Frannnnnnn!
	1:37pm Fran: Sem!!!!! As if I could......
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: hay put credit where credit's due. robert plant was a master thief as well.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: ("hay"?)
	1:39pm Sem Chumbo: Highball bar is now closed.
	1:40pm Fran: You didn't shout Last Orders Sem!
	1:41pm Sem Chumbo: Right you are, Fran. A round on me, then.
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: andy johns produced led zeppelin
	1:42pm mauri: Can I still get a drink if I buy a spud with it?
	1:43pm Sem Chumbo: ONLY if you buy a spud.
	1:44pm Bill Mac: @CC Figgers - Right under my nose
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: (and brother of much inferior producer glyn jons)
	1:44pm Stanley: Hi Fran - had to check out Shobaleader One, as I must admit, I hadn't heard of them. Looking very interesting funky jazz vibe. Enjoy
	1:44pm Fran: Spuds!!!! Crisps...............
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: ("johns"!... jeez what's wrong with m typing skills today?)
	1:47pm fred: @coel: too many high-balls?
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: hmm, or not enough! - i better have a spud first though...
	1:50pm Bill Mac: Hey Fran!!!!
	1:52pm Stanley: Loving this seventies euro style thing
	1:57pm Sem Chumbo: So much Latin American music is filled with trumpets. Insights, anyone?
	1:57pm Stanley: You're grooving along nicely, Bill.
	1:59pm Bill Mac: Good shoe today!
	2:00pm Stanley: A good shoe is all we can ask for.
	2:02pm Bill Mac: @Sem I think the question you should be asking is rock music is filled with guitars. Insights?
	2:02pm Fran: Hi Stanley - I will - its possibly the only Squarepusher project I genuinely like. Wire always a winner and in the same venue tomorrow Michael Rother supported by another Colin Newman project - that'll do for me!
	2:03pm fred: Speaking of theory, maybe I should have gone to the march for science
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: Bill, i agree. i always say i love "hip hop"/rap...maybe 2% of it.
	2:06pm melinda: hi bill and friends
	2:07pm Stanley: That's me, hoiked out of my chair. It's time to go out to eat. Bye all
	2:07pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, melinda. Off to a maple syrup supper myself pretty soon, Stanley. See ya soon!
	2:08pm Fran: See ya soon Stanley
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: seeya Stanley
	2:08pm fred: @Bill and coel: Billy Jam can help
	2:08pm mauri: Goodbye Stanley.
	2:09pm Fran: Not gone yet Bill - its Stanley!!!My head is still stuck around the door for a few more minutes...............
	2:10pm Bill Mac: At least stay for the Eartha number
	2:12pm Sem Chumbo: Got that thrillin' trillin' r going on. Cripes, some singer in any language.
	2:13pm fred: Clicky star for that Eartha track
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: it is gorgeous.
	2:14pm Bill Mac: I useta think she was exotic - she even spent a few years in Philadelphia
	2:19pm Sem Chumbo: OH!
	2:20pm Fran: I did Bill and I'm glad I did too! Like the Captain Beefheart techno mix!
	2:21pm Bill Mac: Second attempt coming shortly
	2:22pm doctorjazz: I'll take a stab at Latin American horn use...In the 30s and 40s, pop was dominated by big bands, both in Amareican Music and Latin American music, and there was lots of cross over, with Latin Big bands getting play and popularity in the US (to the point that Ricky Ricardo, Lucy's husband, became a TV celebrity). Pop tastes diverged, though, Louis Jordan streamlined jazz, and Bill Haley and others replaced the horns with guitar/bass/drums, which was more DIY, edgier, easier to manage and less expensive to tour with. Latin Music continued on to Salsa and other dance music, which remained horn and big band centric (economics probably played a roll; after the war, travelling with a big band in the US became much more expensive, the Union got more pay for players, and very few big bands survived). The fact that horn based music remained pop/dance music in Latin America kept that kind ot band front and center. (made this all up, but seems logical).
	2:23pm Fran: Balearic Beatzheart!
	2:24pm Bill Mac: I got two messages from above - no Beef today!
	2:24pm Sem Chumbo: Thank you for what seems to me to make perfect sense @doctorjazz.
	2:25pm Fran: Yes that was the vegetarian option Bill!
	2:25pm Sem Chumbo: Seriously, where's the Beef if it not on ZzzzzzeroHour? ;-D
	2:26pm Dave in Vermont: The Gibbs could write a song.
	2:26pm Fran: Final comment for tonight other than thanks and goodbye until next time is - am I imagining it that Ry Cooder must have modelled his singing on Percy Sledge - first time I've made the connection!
	2:30pm Bill Mac: @Dave - Yes indeedy - too bad they turned into the stylized hit machine later in their careers. They were just so good in the late 60s/early 70s.
	2:31pm Sem Chumbo: See again sometime, Fran!
	2:31pm doctorjazz: Pretty aggressive, soulful Darin here.
	2:32pm Bill Mac: Tanks for the insight Fran!
	2:45pm melinda: Making Believe is one of the best country songs.
	2:46pm Bill Mac: The Haggard version?
	2:46pm Michael and Bela: Just before Bed , here`s a short hello from Cologne to everyone and you ,Bill.
	2:47pm melinda: All versions that I've heard. I think Kitty Wells sang it also.
	2:47pm Bill Mac: M&B Hey! Pleasant dreams then!!!
	2:48pm Bill Mac: So it's like a standard. I really need to flesh out my knowledge of country music
	2:49pm Michael and Bela: Thank you, have a good week. until your next Fill-IN.
	2:50pm melinda: Me too, Bill! I think I had not heard Merle's version until now.
	2:51pm Sem Chumbo: This last set has lacked nothing for me. Thanks, Bill, and all. May 5th it is.
	2:51pm fred: @melinda: I think Kitty Wells' version is my favorite. Former (and sorely missed by me) DJ Laura Cantrell had a nice cover too on her "Kitty Wells Dresses" record, which I like a lot
	2:51pm Bill Mac: M&B Will do! Two weeks from now, same time same station!
	2:54pm melinda: @fred I'll have to look for that.
	2:55pm melinda: btw, is Cantrell pronounced with the accent on the first or last syllable?
	2:56pm doctorjazz: 1st syllable. Thanks, Bill, enjoyed the show.
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Miss Laura's show as well... Used to listen to her on WKCR before she came to FMU.
	2:57pm fred: @melinda: no idea. Maybe check her archives, though I don't remember whether she said her own name on the air
	2:57pm melinda: thanks dr.
	2:57pm Bill Mac: Thanks DJ, read your insights quickly on Latin music. Will review again when I have time to breathe!
	2:58pm Bill Mac: Thanks all for showing up - gotta fly!!! See you next time!
	2:58pm Bill Mac: If anybody is interested in when I'll be doing fill-ins click on the "E-mail Bill Mac" link at bottom of my playlist and I'll keep you posted on upcoming shows.
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bill Great program! tchau camaradas
	3:03pm melinda: bye!
