	9:22am Bronwyn Bishop: yay real soprano. they don't make em like that anymore, or else they just don't let em sing

	9:26am Kimzilla: Love me some Mornin' Joe!
	♥ 9:27am fred: @Bronwyn: are you a soprano?
	9:27am KP: Was that a Byrds call?
	♥ 9:28am doctorjazz: Got to the Record Fair Friday night, did some damage to the bank account, like the Brooklyn venue (didn't have too much parking trouble, but the weekend may have been worse).
	9:28am Bronwyn Bishop: yes fred, i am! so i have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about how sopranos have gone out of style...
	♥ 9:29am Mick: Good morning and happy May Day! I missed the record fair but look forward to the tales from Greenpoint...
	9:30am JakeGould: Hey Joe! Record fair was fun. Scored some cool stuff from the $1 bin. Hope others had fun as well.
	9:31am Bronwyn Bishop: the $1 bin was the place to be!
	9:32am JakeGould: @Bronwyn: Yup!
	♥ 9:35am Joe McG: Thanks to everyone who came out and spent their hard-earned dough on records at the Record Fair. And esp. anyone who bought from the WFMU tables!

	♥ 9:39am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Mornin' everyone. Hey Joe, nice to see you yesterday! Big thanks to all the other volunteers who worked the record fair this weekend! I love seeing some of the same faces every year. And seeing all my favorite DJs is always a bonus.

	♥ 9:44am fred: @Brownwyn: hopefully your "chip on my shoulder" moment never gets this bad: twitter.com...
	9:45am JakeGould: The only thing that upset me in the $1 bin was finding this “Zither Magic!” LP, but the LP was literally smashed so I passed on it. But check out that Zither Witch! https://instagram.com/p/BTcytVeFwi8/
	9:53am annie: i've seen "the hired hand" four times i think, i love it.. and "Tender Mercies" if you haven't seen "Ulee's Gold", it a must-see PFonda flick
	9:55am KP: Best thing, besides meeting Bronwyn, was scoring a Sgt. Painted Plywood set
	9:56am JakeGould: Gotta go see Jose Feliciano because he sure can’t see you! went there

	10:04am Fernando Pacheco: I´m so sad by the passing of Belchior. One of the greatest on the 70´s MPB scene in Brazil. He became well kwown when Elis Regina recorded two of his songs on Falso Brilhante ("Como Nossos Pais" and "Roupa Velha Colorida"). RIP Belchior.
	10:07am Parq: Is this going to be another all-Rigby set?
	♥ 10:08am Passaic River Blues: That was great!
	♥ 10:09am Sem Chumbo: Wowowowowowow.
	♥ 10:10am doctorjazz: So, Jose still has it, @PKNY, huh? Maybe I'll check him out (planning on seeing David Murray and his NY return show at the Village Vanguard Wednesday, getting a bit old to run around this much...)
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @FernandoP: I need to check him out. I'm a Belchior know-nothing!

	10:23am OstgutTon: @frozen_peas me too
	♥ 10:23am Uncle Michael: Frank's really feelin' it.
	♥ 10:25am Sem Chumbo: stashed and couch do not lend themselves to Frank's delivery, it seems to me.
	♥ 10:25am Uncle Michael: But you bought "sleeping bag"?
	10:30am Parq: Frankie sipping soup in a hobo jungle is pretty hard to picture, too.
	♥ 10:31am Mark the Sardine: Uncle Michael! Joe MG!
	♥ 10:31am Little Danny: G'mornin' Joe and all - sad I missed the Peggy Lee but glad I'm here
	10:33am Fernando Pacheco: @joeMcG check this TV special with Belchior from 1974. https://youtu.be/94-rOEVnyDg

	10:34am Cheri Pi: Bombastic! Do I hear a baritone vocal hidden in there? Never noticed it before
	♥ 10:35am Little Danny: Early Move is all the only Move I can seem to hang with. Great side.
	♥ 10:36am Joe McG: Welcome, Little Danny! Thanks, Fernando -- I'll check it out later today! @Cheri: I'm not sure, but I like those little high voices like a chorus of blades of grass...growing!
	♥ 10:39am paul b: Frank Sinatra is disquieted by your insinuation that he is not a sleeping-bag-occupying man of the people, but feels he cannot adequately respond at the moment: Frank Sinatra has a cold <www.esquire.com...
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: @PaulB: Possibly the best piece of music journalism ever written.
	10:41am Lewis: excellent first paragraph, will have to return to that soon!
	10:42am Lewis: oh my but Dolly can sing!
	10:43am Lewis: that lovely softness of speech that people from a certain part of the south never loose...
	10:44am KP: Got a great early Dolly LP - sealed - at Amanda's table. Coat of Many Colors!
	♥ 10:44am fred: That Sinatra piece sure is a classic
	♥ 10:44am Sem Chumbo: Agreed, Mr. Talese was working with difficult conditions. Love that piece.
	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @KP: That's a gem, KP! I can't imagine why she was selling it!
	♥ 10:46am fred: @KP: Congrats, that's a great find. I love that record, though I got a lot of grief over that from coworkers
	♥ 10:47am Sem Chumbo: Am I guessing that high as a Berkley kite had some currency at a a certain time and in a certain place?
	10:47am Lewis: Coat of many colors gives me chills every time I hear it...
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Lewis: I actually tear up -- every time!

	9:53am annie: i've seen "the hired hand" four times i think, i love it.. and "Tender Mercies" if you haven't seen "Ulee's Gold", it a must-see PFonda flick
	9:55am KP: Best thing, besides meeting Bronwyn, was scoring a Sgt. Painted Plywood set

	♥ 10:25am Uncle Michael: But you bought "sleeping bag"?
	10:30am Parq: Frankie sipping soup in a hobo jungle is pretty hard to picture, too.
	♥ 10:31am Mark the Sardine: Uncle Michael! Joe MG!

	♥ 10:46am Joe McG: @KP: That's a gem, KP! I can't imagine why she was selling it!
	♥ 10:46am fred: @KP: Congrats, that's a great find. I love that record, though I got a lot of grief over that from coworkers
	♥ 10:47am Sem Chumbo: Am I guessing that high as a Berkley kite had some currency at a a certain time and in a certain place?
