	10:24am melinda: Mine too, Greg. Makes me think of autumn.
	♥ 10:24am Joe McG: @steveo: ha ha ha
	10:25am Brendan: There’s no Bread album so let them listen to Cake

	10:27am duke: Had to favorite Black Flowers
	10:30am Brendan: Fred Rodgers (You can grow anything in) The Garden of Your Mind Rush The Garden
	♥ 10:30am Mick: Thanks for playing! As with melinda and Greg, it's on my (pretty long) list of favorite YLT songs.
	10:31am melinda: Back when that YLT album came out my local public radio station played a song from it but would not say the entire album name, the host just said I Am Not Afraid of You. So lame.
	10:31am Marc Francis: Flowers by Camper Van Beethoven. Such a beautiful flower song...
	10:35am annie: i'm in your corner with that sentiment, joe, i breathe a sigh of relief once the cool weather sets in. .....("everything dies".... too funny yet true.)
	♥ 10:35am Joe McG: I'll build a future show from these suggestions! Hey, Annie!

	10:36am davefromtoronto: mud???

	10:37am SeanG: glam it up baby
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: @queems: Ha, don't tempt me, I have enough singles by them to do it two more times.
	10:37am kevlicki: Joe is this the set for N.korea?
	10:37am melinda: @Mick yes, there are so many!
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: @kevlicki: All my sets are for North Korea.
	♥ 10:38am Sem Chumbo: Sounds very much like the composer of Rocky Horror...
	10:38am Davee: Sounds like sweet - Mud does.
	10:39am Davee: My favorite part of the show!
	10:40am βrian: For context: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:42am steveo: ooh yeah, βrian, you know what I like!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian!
	10:43am queems: this girl needs to love herself
	♥ 10:43am steveo: (wikipedia links, that is)
	♥ 10:44am steveo: wow great cover
	10:45am northguineahills: What steveo said...
	♥ 10:46am steveo: That Mo-Dettes reportedly made it to #42 on the UK charts.
	10:46am βrian: Favorite quote: "The lace-makers were seen as protégés of the royals, and after Mme du Barry and Marie Antoinette were guillotined in 1793, the lace-makers of Chantilly were themselves killed. At this point production ceased."
	10:46am Bob: Loved that Little Peggy March track!!!
	♥ 10:47am pantz: It was tough when Eddy Arnold broke with his guitar. That guitar's solo career flopped.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: i brought my lunch, but it's in the fridge, so I can't shake it right at the moment.
	♥ 10:49am Jeff Golick: I brought a pb&j sandwich. Dutifully shaking it.
	10:50am Bob: The guitar's first solo record got a lot of positive feedback from critics
	10:51am βrian: Fancy that! I have an almond-butter raspberry jam sandwich on toasted kamut. Can't wait.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @pantz/Bob: Ha ha ha @Brian: "At that point, production ceased."
	10:52am βrian: "Go figure," I thought.
	♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: (PS., for next time: "La Fleurette Africaine," by Duke Ellington, via Money Jungle?)
	♥ 10:53am pantz: Hey, hey, hey! That Roy Head song sounded a lot like Fat Albert.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: Excellent suggestion, Jeff.
	10:56am βrian: Les fleurs du mal? www.discogs.com...
	10:58am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Great Association tune!
	10:58am Brendan: The Gates of Delirium next single side?
	11:00am davefromtoronto: play "lesbian seagull" and it's the perfect single file episode!
	11:01am Dennis Diken: digging all the Little Peggy March action. had a major crush on her when "I Will Follow Him" came out in '63. love that b-side you played. another killer b-side (of "I Wish I Were A Princess") is "My Teenage Castle (Is Tumblin' Down)"
	11:03am Brendan: Lovely fade outro
	11:04am Dennis Diken: another really great Association fall tune is "Autumn Afternoon," a criminally previously unreleased track that appeared a few years back on the Now Sounds 2 CD mono reish of Insight Out
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Dennis: Ooh, that's the one reissue on Now Sounds I don't have! I'll need to check it out.
	11:16am Brendan: Will Eric Carmen be there with other guests or will he be all by himself? I can’t wait to turn the radio up for that sweet sound.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha
	♥ 11:19am steveo: Here's the top 5 from November 10, 1958, the 2nd week in a row that that Chantilly Lace came in at #6. 1. Conway Twitty - It's Only Make Believe 2. The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley 3. Tommy Edwards - It's All In the Game 4. Cozy Cole - Topsy II 5. The Teddy Bears - To Know Him is to Love Him
	11:19am paul: $99.97 for that CD on Amazaon!
	11:20am paul: the Association CD
	♥ 11:21am Stevel: I saw TH in late 1979. Very glad I did.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @paul: Holy cow! @steveo: Wow, all good tunes!
	♥ 11:22am steveo: yeah that was a great TH tune -- not on my radar in 4th grade; @joe i guess 1958 had good taste :)
	11:24am Parq: I had that Talking Heads live album (may still, not sure). I love the end of "Psycho Killer", just before "Take Me To", when some guy yells out in the audience, "That's the only song they ever play on the radio, dammit!" Not much has changed.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Parq: It's nice to have since the official live LP only has one side from this period.
	11:28am Agent Peter: Sounds like "Fried Neckbones"
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Bit late to the party. Black Flower by Nirvana (UK) or Flowers in the Rain by the Move.
	♥ 11:30am steveo: enjoying this set -- interesting structure (what is next???)
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @BrianinUK: Don't worry, you're never too late to this party. Good flower requests!
	♥ 11:31am steveo: i guess it takes 2 to Tango?
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @steveo: I really want to break this Tango album, 43 years late.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: For fear of repeating myself from Bill Mac's show the other day. My ringtone is a tango.
	♥ 11:34am steveo: I'm really enjoying it, thanks!
	11:36am Parq: Was trying to figure out who had the well known version of "Greenback". Turns out it was the Kingston Trio. Also turns out that Hoyt Axton had some kind of hit with it.
	11:37am melinda: The first time I heard Greenback Dollar it was someone singing it badly on a camping trip, and it was thus tainted for a long time.
	♥ 11:37am Passaic River Blues: Someone call Light in the Attic--that "Greenback Blues" track would be golden for the next edition of their "Country Funk" collection.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: What no Tango!
	11:37am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Jerry Reed! I had this album on 8-track as a kid! I love you for this one Joe!
	11:37am listener monica: nice set, Joe!
	11:37am Itzall Ablurr: That is certainly a "restrained" version of Jerry Reed. Now, Amos Moses...
	11:38am Davee: I thought it was someone else not Jerry Reed.
	♥ 11:38am steveo: here's a long thing about Tango that I am going to read later markguerrero.com...
	11:39am Dennis Diken: here's that Association track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqo3CNQ_Yu0
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha, it had to end somewhere. @Karen: It's advertised on the inner sleeve of this LP as being on 8-Track! @monica: Thx! @steveo: Cool, Steveo, I want to read that, too! @Dennis: Cool, thx!
	11:40am Parq: Dammit, Anita Carter has a voice! I was first hipped to her work when I won the "Songbird" compilation as an Emcee prize during marathon one year.
	11:41am Parq: Melinda, hah! The first time I heard Greenback was when I was taught it by a counselor in summer camp.
	11:43am melinda: @parq it must be a campfire favorite! I like Anita Carter, too, almost didn't recognize her here due to the fancy arrangement and different style.
	11:44am Davee: Ahhhh, Loretta!
	11:45am Davee: I think Joe did a great job on this show - TY
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: God bless, Davee.
	11:46am melinda: Sounds so much like Sissy Spacek
	♥ 11:46am Sem Chumbo: haha, melinda.
	11:46am βrian: Strange Comfort would be a good band name.
	♥ 11:47am Sem Chumbo: Has Strange Fruit been taken, I wonder?
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: Strange Southern Comfort might be commercially viable.
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: I'll just keep doing this until the pain outwears the shame.
	♥ 11:49am steveo: tear our hearts out why don't you
	11:49am annie: well, i've just been so pre-occupied... been listening raptly. wonderful show joe, i love the old-timey stuff, too.
	♥ 11:50am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Joe, and all, for a fun time this AM. Later.
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Kiss the Children for Me Please Before You Go.
	11:51am melinda: Great show Joe!
	♥ 11:51am Krys O.: Wilma and Stoney Lee! They would show upon the Opry into the 1990s.
	11:51am Itzall Ablurr: I was also wondering just how many tears. A LOT, I'll bet!
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: My Hearts in the Past and Your Dinners in the Dog.
	♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: Meet me behind the rock crusher, baby, I'm a little boulder there.
	11:54am Davee: Probably stoned too!
	♥ 11:55am BennettCap: I absolutely love divorce country!
	♥ 11:56am ChrisB.: I have an autographed Wilma and Stony song folio, as well a souvenir plate!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Hope to be with you all again next week! Make it a good one for yourselves.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:57am Uncle Michael: Thanks for making my morning, Joe.
	♥ 11:57am Krys O.: FYI-Hank Williams proposed to Anita Carter, but her family nixed that.
	♥ 11:57am Brian in UK: Happy Trails, Joe. So long Pardners.
	♥ 11:58am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:58am Mick: Thanks Joe!

	♥ 10:30am Mick: Thanks for playing! As with melinda and Greg, it's on my (pretty long) list of favorite YLT songs.
	10:31am melinda: Back when that YLT album came out my local public radio station played a song from it but would not say the entire album name, the host just said I Am Not Afraid of You. So lame.
	10:31am Marc Francis: Flowers by Camper Van Beethoven. Such a beautiful flower song...

	♥ 10:43am steveo: (wikipedia links, that is)
	♥ 10:44am steveo: wow great cover
	10:45am northguineahills: What steveo said...
	♥ 10:46am steveo: That Mo-Dettes reportedly made it to #42 on the UK charts.
	10:46am βrian: Favorite quote: "The lace-makers were seen as protégés of the royals, and after Mme du Barry and Marie Antoinette were guillotined in 1793, the lace-makers of Chantilly were themselves killed. At this point production ceased."
	10:46am Bob: Loved that Little Peggy March track!!!
	♥ 10:47am pantz: It was tough when Eddy Arnold broke with his guitar. That guitar's solo career flopped.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: i brought my lunch, but it's in the fridge, so I can't shake it right at the moment.
	♥ 10:49am Jeff Golick: I brought a pb&j sandwich. Dutifully shaking it.
	10:50am Bob: The guitar's first solo record got a lot of positive feedback from critics
	10:51am βrian: Fancy that! I have an almond-butter raspberry jam sandwich on toasted kamut. Can't wait.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @pantz/Bob: Ha ha ha @Brian: "At that point, production ceased."
	10:52am βrian: "Go figure," I thought.
	♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: (PS., for next time: "La Fleurette Africaine," by Duke Ellington, via Money Jungle?)
	♥ 10:53am pantz: Hey, hey, hey! That Roy Head song sounded a lot like Fat Albert.
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: Excellent suggestion, Jeff.
	10:56am βrian: Les fleurs du mal? www.discogs.com...
	10:58am V Priceless: Hey Joe! Great Association tune!
	10:58am Brendan: The Gates of Delirium next single side?
	11:00am davefromtoronto: play "lesbian seagull" and it's the perfect single file episode!
	11:01am Dennis Diken: digging all the Little Peggy March action. had a major crush on her when "I Will Follow Him" came out in '63. love that b-side you played. another killer b-side (of "I Wish I Were A Princess") is "My Teenage Castle (Is Tumblin' Down)"
	11:03am Brendan: Lovely fade outro
	11:04am Dennis Diken: another really great Association fall tune is "Autumn Afternoon," a criminally previously unreleased track that appeared a few years back on the Now Sounds 2 CD mono reish of Insight Out
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: @Dennis: Ooh, that's the one reissue on Now Sounds I don't have! I'll need to check it out.
	11:16am Brendan: Will Eric Carmen be there with other guests or will he be all by himself? I can’t wait to turn the radio up for that sweet sound.
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha
	♥ 11:19am steveo: Here's the top 5 from November 10, 1958, the 2nd week in a row that that Chantilly Lace came in at #6. 1. Conway Twitty - It's Only Make Believe 2. The Kingston Trio - Tom Dooley 3. Tommy Edwards - It's All In the Game 4. Cozy Cole - Topsy II 5. The Teddy Bears - To Know Him is to Love Him
	11:19am paul: $99.97 for that CD on Amazaon!
	11:20am paul: the Association CD
	♥ 11:21am Stevel: I saw TH in late 1979. Very glad I did.
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @paul: Holy cow! @steveo: Wow, all good tunes!
	♥ 11:22am steveo: yeah that was a great TH tune -- not on my radar in 4th grade; @joe i guess 1958 had good taste :)
	11:24am Parq: I had that Talking Heads live album (may still, not sure). I love the end of "Psycho Killer", just before "Take Me To", when some guy yells out in the audience, "That's the only song they ever play on the radio, dammit!" Not much has changed.
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @Parq: It's nice to have since the official live LP only has one side from this period.
	11:28am Agent Peter: Sounds like "Fried Neckbones"
	♥ 11:29am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Bit late to the party. Black Flower by Nirvana (UK) or Flowers in the Rain by the Move.
	♥ 11:30am steveo: enjoying this set -- interesting structure (what is next???)
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: @BrianinUK: Don't worry, you're never too late to this party. Good flower requests!
	♥ 11:31am steveo: i guess it takes 2 to Tango?
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: @steveo: I really want to break this Tango album, 43 years late.
	♥ 11:34am Brian in UK: For fear of repeating myself from Bill Mac's show the other day. My ringtone is a tango.
	♥ 11:34am steveo: I'm really enjoying it, thanks!
	11:36am Parq: Was trying to figure out who had the well known version of "Greenback". Turns out it was the Kingston Trio. Also turns out that Hoyt Axton had some kind of hit with it.
	11:37am melinda: The first time I heard Greenback Dollar it was someone singing it badly on a camping trip, and it was thus tainted for a long time.
	♥ 11:37am Passaic River Blues: Someone call Light in the Attic--that "Greenback Blues" track would be golden for the next edition of their "Country Funk" collection.
	♥ 11:37am Brian in UK: What no Tango!
	11:37am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Jerry Reed! I had this album on 8-track as a kid! I love you for this one Joe!
	11:37am listener monica: nice set, Joe!
	11:37am Itzall Ablurr: That is certainly a "restrained" version of Jerry Reed. Now, Amos Moses...
	11:38am Davee: I thought it was someone else not Jerry Reed.
	♥ 11:38am steveo: here's a long thing about Tango that I am going to read later markguerrero.com...
	11:39am Dennis Diken: here's that Association track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqo3CNQ_Yu0
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha, it had to end somewhere. @Karen: It's advertised on the inner sleeve of this LP as being on 8-Track! @monica: Thx! @steveo: Cool, Steveo, I want to read that, too! @Dennis: Cool, thx!
	11:40am Parq: Dammit, Anita Carter has a voice! I was first hipped to her work when I won the "Songbird" compilation as an Emcee prize during marathon one year.
	11:41am Parq: Melinda, hah! The first time I heard Greenback was when I was taught it by a counselor in summer camp.
	11:43am melinda: @parq it must be a campfire favorite! I like Anita Carter, too, almost didn't recognize her here due to the fancy arrangement and different style.
	11:44am Davee: Ahhhh, Loretta!
	11:45am Davee: I think Joe did a great job on this show - TY
	♥ 11:45am Joe McG: God bless, Davee.
	11:46am melinda: Sounds so much like Sissy Spacek
	♥ 11:46am Sem Chumbo: haha, melinda.
	11:46am βrian: Strange Comfort would be a good band name.
	♥ 11:47am Sem Chumbo: Has Strange Fruit been taken, I wonder?
	♥ 11:48am Sem Chumbo: Strange Southern Comfort might be commercially viable.
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: I'll just keep doing this until the pain outwears the shame.
	♥ 11:49am steveo: tear our hearts out why don't you
	11:49am annie: well, i've just been so pre-occupied... been listening raptly. wonderful show joe, i love the old-timey stuff, too.
	♥ 11:50am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Joe, and all, for a fun time this AM. Later.
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Kiss the Children for Me Please Before You Go.
	11:51am melinda: Great show Joe!
	♥ 11:51am Krys O.: Wilma and Stoney Lee! They would show upon the Opry into the 1990s.
	11:51am Itzall Ablurr: I was also wondering just how many tears. A LOT, I'll bet!
	♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: My Hearts in the Past and Your Dinners in the Dog.
	♥ 11:53am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: Meet me behind the rock crusher, baby, I'm a little boulder there.
	11:54am Davee: Probably stoned too!
	♥ 11:55am BennettCap: I absolutely love divorce country!
	♥ 11:56am ChrisB.: I have an autographed Wilma and Stony song folio, as well a souvenir plate!
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Hope to be with you all again next week! Make it a good one for yourselves.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:57am Uncle Michael: Thanks for making my morning, Joe.
