	9:10am northguineahills: Midnight Cowboy sndtrk!
	♥ 9:11am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Joe, and hello, McGaskoes, flung far and wide around the wide, wide world. Going deep on the movie music. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

	♥ 9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Every Monday is Yips Monday.
	9:13am Brendan: The Group sounds a little like The Association.
	9:13am northguineahills: This is where Stereolab got the word "The Groop".
	9:14am annie: @brian: i really tried to read the spy-stories genre of books, the closest i ever got was gobbling up all the sherlock holmes i could.
	9:14am Ewe Alone: Good morning Joe and all. Still thinking about that interview you did with Sachiko Kanenobu. Too soon to play anything by her? Hope not :)
	9:14am V Priceless: heya Joe!
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, and welcome to the show! We're starting out cinematic today to match the dramatic vistas I saw this morning on the way in. What a sky!
	♥ 9:16am NotARealDoctor: Good morning everyone! So busy today! Have to get extra work done since it's only a 2 1/2 day week here at the office!
	♥ 9:17am NotARealDoctor: Thanks for helping keep my mind off it, Joe!
	9:18am annie: i am on a FB group for photo-challenges, a burgeoning thing there; today's challenge is "Communication". anyone have any bright ideas?
	♥ 9:19am Nymor: Monday - one of my 7 favourite days on WFMU - good afternoon from the UK. (Having just googled it) I now know the instrument on the Ipcreess File track is a Cymbalom. Always enjoy your show - thanks Joe
	♥ 9:19am The Oscar: Never seen Phaedra, but it's starting to sound like I should change that.
	9:20am queems: good morning! it's nice to listen to the show while not at work for once
	♥ 9:24am steveo: i feel glad for Jimmie Haskell that he was probably old enough when Leave it to Beaver came out that he didn't catch too much flak.
	9:26am Cheri Pi: Heya Joe and the gang
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Heya, Cheri! @Oscar: That ending monologue is a whopper!
	♥ 9:31am doctorjazz: Saw the billboard on the home page-looks like Manson isn't available for FMU promos or broadcasts any more...
	♥ 9:34am doctorjazz: Haven't heard this Al Kooper in many moons.
	9:36am John in Bklyn: Jeremiah, that's a name you don't hear much these days! Morning Joe and Noisers!
	9:41am Neil M: Incredible soundtrack set. The Landlord Phaedra. So many great calls.
	9:41am melinda: Hi Joe!
	9:43am melinda: Bummed to have missed the soundtrack set but happy to be listening in my car, was afraid I'd left my mobile hotspot at home.
	9:43am John in Bklyn: Wasn't Paul Sand on The Carol Burnett Show, too?
	9:43am WWFSMD: Monica! Oh Joy! Oh, Rapture unforseen!
	9:44am melinda: I remember Paul Sand and Ron Leibman
	9:45am John in Bklyn: No justice done to Blake in real life. He's probably golfing with O.J. now.
	♥ 9:45am The Oscar: Wasn't Zachariah written by some or all of the Firesign Theatre? I was always curious to see it...
	♥ 9:47am Sem Chumbo: Tiger Lily was a hilarious adaptation, supplying incongruous dialogue for a Japanese spy movie. Woody, Woody, Woody: how we loved you early funny movies.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Neil, I enjoyed that! @John: Yes, I remember Paul Sand on Carol Burnett!
	9:52am Bobby Whirlwind: Hello Joe and all. Loving this Hater track :)
	9:54am John in Bklyn: Hater sounded too jangly and nice to be called Hater.
	♥ 9:56am MD: "Charlie,Charlie Call us up Charlie!!!!"
	9:57am Dennis Diken: man, I just love the "Tiger Lily" sound track, "Respoken" is really an overlooked Spoonful song. great to hear the Moonglows, a fabulous vocal group
	♥ 9:58am MD: Good Morning all! Welcome to a world of Balance. Manson....dead...... Trump President
	♥ 9:59am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe and others
	♥ 9:59am coelacanth∅: i like this all female rock and roll quartet.
	10:01am KP: Happy Turkey Week, Joe!
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! Later on I'll play the most depressing Thanksgiving song of all-time.
	10:04am melinda: Paul Sand was also on the MTM show. Later was the psychiatrist on St. Elsewhere.
	10:07am djsheilab: Oh my lord! This “Raggedy Ann” song is GENIUS.
	10:07am Dennis Diken: you just made my day Joe! thanks for the spin!
	10:08am Brendan: Creepy!
	10:09am Parq: Anybody else think Bill sounds like Andre Williams here.
	♥ 10:09am NotARealDoctor: This is heavy as hell.
	♥ 10:09am The Oscar: Whoooaaaa. I don't think I ever expected that a) anyone would cover this song, b) BILL WITHERS would cover this song, or c) Bill Withers would cover this song and it would sound like THIS.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: Nice work, Dennis! @SheilaB: Amazing, right??
	10:09am northguineahills: Wait, new Bill Withers!!!!
	10:09am northguineahills: What The Oscar said!
	10:10am TDK60: Hello. West Virginian Withers.
	10:10am annie: i have always appreciated paul sand's work; and he wasn't so bad on the eyes either
	♥ 10:10am NotARealDoctor: Wait this is new from Bill Withers!?!
	10:11am melinda: Someone else did Raggedy Ann first?!
	♥ 10:11am coelacanth∅: Mr.Withers, 79. stick around a bit longer please.
	10:11am matt in Peapack: Shoutout to Raggedy Ann
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Yes, it's kind of crazy that he would come out of retirement to record a Little Jimmy Dickens monologue, but life is strange!
	10:12am melinda: Ok I see now.
	10:13am βrian: If I had caught the earlier bus I would've heard Bill Withers.
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: @Brian: The glory of the archive awaits you. :)
	♥ 10:21am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:23am northguineahills: I don't know what T.J. Hustler Metaphysical Synthesized Orchestra is, but I'm digging!
	10:24am melinda: @ngh same here
	♥ 10:28am steveo: groovin' on a monday pre-afternoon
	♥ 10:32am coelacanth∅: tj hustler... is familiar and i think it might be on "the happy listeners' guide to mind control". (one of Ken's premiums)
	10:32am TDK60: I know one of the musicians on that Rhinestone album! Todd Burge - solo folky.
	♥ 10:35am crateslinger: Fuck Manson. Prick.
	♥ 10:35am crateslinger: sorry for the words...
	10:35am Davee: 45s excellent
	♥ 10:36am —Ike: I missed The She's (ugh) but I hope "Sorry" was a song apologizing for molesting the English language like that. I suppose they wanted to be sure nobody would pronounce them "shezz" or "shesh" but it's still stupid.
	♥ 10:37am coelacanth∅: manson,eh. rest in piss. he's a peanut though. i'll dance again when trump, pense, etc and the entire bush machine (etc) leaves this plane.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Is Manson dead?
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: Yeah, but NOBODY pretends they're cool.
	♥ 10:39am coelacanth∅: apparently. 83.
	10:39am Marc Francis: I feel like this song should be accompanied with a zany 80's movie party scene taking place in a ski chalet.
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: Yeah he's dead.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: I'm not going to play "Cease to Exist," as appropriate as it may seem.
	♥ 10:40am coelacanth∅: haha!
	♥ 10:41am The Oscar: I wonder if his weirdo "fiancee" from a couple years ago is going to make another play for his corpse. That was one of the most WTF news stories in recent memory. (Also I cannot WAIT for Ken's show this week).
	10:42am northguineahills: Paris Pilot has a nice Byrds charm to them.
	♥ 10:43am Passaic River Blues: @The Oscar: absolutely. Hope Ken's laptop is back in gear because he's got a lot of work to do Wednesday morning.
	♥ 10:45am coelacanth∅: Ike @10.36 -but practically all of wikipedia has been molested to use plurals where referring to a singular. (ie "pink floyd WERE a band") ...bigger fish to fry.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: I recently learned that Lauper wrote the songs for the Kinky Boots musical.
	♥ 10:47am coelacanth∅: (grammatical fish; a genetically modified species)
	♥ 10:48am The Oscar: Whatever happened to the little "uh-oh" hiccup female pop singers did in the '80s? I feel like a LOT of singers did it for a few years (Lauper, Lene Lovich, Dale Bozzio...) and then it just disappeared. You'd think Lady Gaga or someone would have brought it back by now.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: speaking of, nice new avatar...
	♥ 10:49am coelacanth∅: sometimes i forget how good Cyndi Lauper often was.
	♥ 10:49am crateslinger: Disco sounds so good now.
	10:54am PKNY: I know that Betty had an anti-secretary song, but she's got beef with babysitters too?!?!
	10:54am TDK60: I wonder if there really is a bardo. If so, those folks coelacanth mentions may have some surprises in the bardo.
	10:56am Okay, I'm going to hell for this: I'm glad you're having a good time, honey, but I can't talk now. I've got the babysitter coming.
	10:59am TDK60: It's too bad, but I must leave the internet. Thanks for the tunes, Joe. See y'all.
	11:03am Blix: Wow. What a ridiculous cover. They really put the demented in Demensions.
	11:09am Ochre Ogre: Good Monday morning Joe. Funny Buddhist Christmasy song, sense no makes.
	11:09am Brendan: The Pretenders invoke the Renge Kyo chant in a song too. I have tried chanting Nam myo renge kyo after hitting my thumb with a hammer. Somehow I am not able too embrace oneness and find an alternative phrase more helpful.
	11:10am pullmyhair: I loved the lighthouse song and would love to find that to share with others, thanks for sharing it with us!
	11:11am Switchblade Batmat: When and where is the up with people thing? That sounds amazing
	11:12am melinda: Micah's last Up With People t-giving was a fill-in, and there were some listeners disturbed by the unexpected change of programming/content. It was funny.
	11:17am Ochre Ogre: Brendan- Yes, continuous swearing works for me in a situation like that.
	11:17am Dean: Oh wa, ta goo, Siam?
	11:22am KP: Nice autumnal acoustic piece here, joe
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @KP: I must admit, I'm feeling very autumnal musically lately.
	11:25am queems: this one sounds really good outside in my parents' yard
	11:25am Brendan: @Ochre - to be sure. The reminder that life is suffering is already apparent in the misguided hammer blow and need not be reinforced through said chant . Instead i find a free form verse of profanities sung scat style highly effective in achieving enlightenment.
	11:27am northguineahills: I liked that Asaran Earth Trio, it sounded like it was recorded in the late 60s.
	11:28am Brendan: I got a good vibe from that Esmerine track Joe.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brendan: Real nice. Towards the end it reminded me of that Carl Orff theme from, oh what is it? "Badlands."
	11:36am Davee: Boing, boing!
	♥ 11:36am ⓘⓚⓔ: Woah, anybody read this book about the guy with the top single of 1966? I just stumbled across this at work: smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @Davee: It's sort of the jawharp at the beach equivalent of the Yip-Yips!
	♥ 11:37am Greg from ZONE 5: Pretty, pretty set here, Joey
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: Thanks, Greggy! Nice to see you the other day, as ever.
	11:39am northguineahills: I've been liking what I've heard of this Laura Baird album.
	11:40am Brendan: @Joe . Yes - it really picked up steam there. Love me some marimba or vibes in my music. I was thinking/reminded of some great vibes in a pop song “Ed’s Funky Diner” 12” inch remix that I wore in the 80s
	♥ 11:40am The Oscar: @Ike Never read the book, but I did learn of his sordid history in a casual "What ever happened to..." search. That looks like a must-read!
	11:40am northguineahills: @Ike, I heard something to that effect of him, but didn't know as many details.
	11:41am Brendan: I literally wore that record out - either that or my 1 pound tone arm
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: so, if Bill Withers would come out of retirement, maybe so will Anne Briggs.
	11:41am slugluv1313: good morning, everyone! wonderful show, Joe! very pretty, this Laura Baird song -- shades of Sandy Denny -- ??
	11:41am slugluv1313: good morning, everyone! wonderful show, Joe! very pretty, this Laura Baird song -- shades of Sandy Denny -- ??
	11:42am Davee: I hear an echo!
	11:43am northguineahills: coel is full of good ideas that we should all endorse.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @slugluv: You're reading my mind! :)
	11:44am northguineahills: Sandy Denny, shades of Laura Baird.
	11:47am slugluv1313: @ Ike -- YOW!!! i remember "Ballad of a Green Beret" from when i was a little kid -- kinda gave me the creeps, even then! but i had NO idea about what happened afterwards; definitely a must read!
	♥ 11:47am coelacanth∅: thanks ngh! i'm all behind me, until i'm not... but others should think some of my ideas through thoroughly before endorsing them. (just an idea)
	11:48am slugluv1313: thanks, Joe! gosh, i miss Sandy Denny
	11:49am V Priceless: Great show, Joe - thanks!
	♥ 11:50am maestroso: Loving this set. Do you have anything with Maddy Prior?
	11:50am melinda: Digging this set.
	11:52am Brendan: Great seasonal Sandy song. Feeling November now!
	11:53am Listener Alexandra: Stunning show today, Joe!
	11:53am Brendan: The gales of November came early yesterday.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex and everyone! Ending the show with this Thanksgiving prayer. I hope you all have a nice holiday if you're in the U.S.; have a great week if you're elsewhere! I'll see you next Monday. :)
	11:55am Lewis: @brendan- nice...
	♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:56am northguineahills: @coel: When I try to get behind myself, I just go in circles.
	11:56am BronwynB: great show joe!!!
	♥ 11:57am steveo: thanks joe for the show; enjoy your Thanksgiving
	11:58am northguineahills: thanksssssssssssssss Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: @Joe - we are thankful for the feast we have just received.
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Joe, i can't have a great week if i'm in the u.s.? ...yeah i guess - probably not.
	♥ 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I read a story that 15 people were trampled in Morocco the other day at a food distribution place. How thankful we have stores with a bounty of food here.
	11:59am slugluv1313: just hearing this now -- Charles Manson has finally kicked the bucket!
	12:00pm slugluv1313: Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!
	♥ 12:00pm steveo: i heard greased lightning on the radio once and they sung the word shit!!!!
	1:58pm Ajax: The She's started when they were like 14 so you gotta cut them some slack RE punctuation. Also I asked them once why they were so good. The answer? Practice!

	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, and welcome to the show! We're starting out cinematic today to match the dramatic vistas I saw this morning on the way in. What a sky!
	♥ 9:16am NotARealDoctor: Good morning everyone! So busy today! Have to get extra work done since it's only a 2 1/2 day week here at the office!
	♥ 9:17am NotARealDoctor: Thanks for helping keep my mind off it, Joe!
	9:18am annie: i am on a FB group for photo-challenges, a burgeoning thing there; today's challenge is "Communication". anyone have any bright ideas?
	♥ 9:19am Nymor: Monday - one of my 7 favourite days on WFMU - good afternoon from the UK. (Having just googled it) I now know the instrument on the Ipcreess File track is a Cymbalom. Always enjoy your show - thanks Joe
	♥ 9:19am The Oscar: Never seen Phaedra, but it's starting to sound like I should change that.
	9:20am queems: good morning! it's nice to listen to the show while not at work for once
	♥ 9:24am steveo: i feel glad for Jimmie Haskell that he was probably old enough when Leave it to Beaver came out that he didn't catch too much flak.
	9:26am Cheri Pi: Heya Joe and the gang
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: Heya, Cheri! @Oscar: That ending monologue is a whopper!
	♥ 9:31am doctorjazz: Saw the billboard on the home page-looks like Manson isn't available for FMU promos or broadcasts any more...
	♥ 9:34am doctorjazz: Haven't heard this Al Kooper in many moons.
	9:36am John in Bklyn: Jeremiah, that's a name you don't hear much these days! Morning Joe and Noisers!
	9:41am Neil M: Incredible soundtrack set. The Landlord Phaedra. So many great calls.
	9:41am melinda: Hi Joe!
	9:43am melinda: Bummed to have missed the soundtrack set but happy to be listening in my car, was afraid I'd left my mobile hotspot at home.
	9:43am John in Bklyn: Wasn't Paul Sand on The Carol Burnett Show, too?
	9:43am WWFSMD: Monica! Oh Joy! Oh, Rapture unforseen!
	9:44am melinda: I remember Paul Sand and Ron Leibman
	9:45am John in Bklyn: No justice done to Blake in real life. He's probably golfing with O.J. now.
	♥ 9:45am The Oscar: Wasn't Zachariah written by some or all of the Firesign Theatre? I was always curious to see it...
	♥ 9:47am Sem Chumbo: Tiger Lily was a hilarious adaptation, supplying incongruous dialogue for a Japanese spy movie. Woody, Woody, Woody: how we loved you early funny movies.
	♥ 9:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Neil, I enjoyed that! @John: Yes, I remember Paul Sand on Carol Burnett!
	9:52am Bobby Whirlwind: Hello Joe and all. Loving this Hater track :)
	9:54am John in Bklyn: Hater sounded too jangly and nice to be called Hater.
	♥ 9:56am MD: "Charlie,Charlie Call us up Charlie!!!!"
	9:57am Dennis Diken: man, I just love the "Tiger Lily" sound track, "Respoken" is really an overlooked Spoonful song. great to hear the Moonglows, a fabulous vocal group
	♥ 9:58am MD: Good Morning all! Welcome to a world of Balance. Manson....dead...... Trump President
	♥ 9:59am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe and others
	♥ 9:59am coelacanth∅: i like this all female rock and roll quartet.
	10:01am KP: Happy Turkey Week, Joe!
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: Thanks, KP! Later on I'll play the most depressing Thanksgiving song of all-time.
	10:04am melinda: Paul Sand was also on the MTM show. Later was the psychiatrist on St. Elsewhere.
	10:07am djsheilab: Oh my lord! This “Raggedy Ann” song is GENIUS.
	10:07am Dennis Diken: you just made my day Joe! thanks for the spin!
	10:08am Brendan: Creepy!
	10:09am Parq: Anybody else think Bill sounds like Andre Williams here.
	♥ 10:09am NotARealDoctor: This is heavy as hell.
	♥ 10:09am The Oscar: Whoooaaaa. I don't think I ever expected that a) anyone would cover this song, b) BILL WITHERS would cover this song, or c) Bill Withers would cover this song and it would sound like THIS.
	♥ 10:09am Joe McG: Nice work, Dennis! @SheilaB: Amazing, right??
	10:09am northguineahills: Wait, new Bill Withers!!!!
	10:09am northguineahills: What The Oscar said!
	10:10am TDK60: Hello. West Virginian Withers.
	10:10am annie: i have always appreciated paul sand's work; and he wasn't so bad on the eyes either
	♥ 10:10am NotARealDoctor: Wait this is new from Bill Withers!?!
	10:11am melinda: Someone else did Raggedy Ann first?!
	♥ 10:11am coelacanth∅: Mr.Withers, 79. stick around a bit longer please.
	10:11am matt in Peapack: Shoutout to Raggedy Ann
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: Yes, it's kind of crazy that he would come out of retirement to record a Little Jimmy Dickens monologue, but life is strange!
	10:12am melinda: Ok I see now.
	10:13am βrian: If I had caught the earlier bus I would've heard Bill Withers.
	♥ 10:19am Joe McG: @Brian: The glory of the archive awaits you. :)
	♥ 10:21am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all!
	10:23am northguineahills: I don't know what T.J. Hustler Metaphysical Synthesized Orchestra is, but I'm digging!
	10:24am melinda: @ngh same here
	♥ 10:28am steveo: groovin' on a monday pre-afternoon
	♥ 10:32am coelacanth∅: tj hustler... is familiar and i think it might be on "the happy listeners' guide to mind control". (one of Ken's premiums)
	10:32am TDK60: I know one of the musicians on that Rhinestone album! Todd Burge - solo folky.
	♥ 10:35am crateslinger: Fuck Manson. Prick.
	♥ 10:35am crateslinger: sorry for the words...
	10:35am Davee: 45s excellent
	♥ 10:36am —Ike: I missed The She's (ugh) but I hope "Sorry" was a song apologizing for molesting the English language like that. I suppose they wanted to be sure nobody would pronounce them "shezz" or "shesh" but it's still stupid.
	♥ 10:37am coelacanth∅: manson,eh. rest in piss. he's a peanut though. i'll dance again when trump, pense, etc and the entire bush machine (etc) leaves this plane.
	♥ 10:38am Joe McG: Is Manson dead?
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: Yeah, but NOBODY pretends they're cool.
	♥ 10:39am coelacanth∅: apparently. 83.
	10:39am Marc Francis: I feel like this song should be accompanied with a zany 80's movie party scene taking place in a ski chalet.
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: Yeah he's dead.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: I'm not going to play "Cease to Exist," as appropriate as it may seem.
	♥ 10:40am coelacanth∅: haha!
	♥ 10:41am The Oscar: I wonder if his weirdo "fiancee" from a couple years ago is going to make another play for his corpse. That was one of the most WTF news stories in recent memory. (Also I cannot WAIT for Ken's show this week).
	10:42am northguineahills: Paris Pilot has a nice Byrds charm to them.
	♥ 10:43am Passaic River Blues: @The Oscar: absolutely. Hope Ken's laptop is back in gear because he's got a lot of work to do Wednesday morning.
	♥ 10:45am coelacanth∅: Ike @10.36 -but practically all of wikipedia has been molested to use plurals where referring to a singular. (ie "pink floyd WERE a band") ...bigger fish to fry.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: I recently learned that Lauper wrote the songs for the Kinky Boots musical.
	♥ 10:47am coelacanth∅: (grammatical fish; a genetically modified species)
	♥ 10:48am The Oscar: Whatever happened to the little "uh-oh" hiccup female pop singers did in the '80s? I feel like a LOT of singers did it for a few years (Lauper, Lene Lovich, Dale Bozzio...) and then it just disappeared. You'd think Lady Gaga or someone would have brought it back by now.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: speaking of, nice new avatar...
	♥ 10:49am coelacanth∅: sometimes i forget how good Cyndi Lauper often was.
	♥ 10:49am crateslinger: Disco sounds so good now.
	10:54am PKNY: I know that Betty had an anti-secretary song, but she's got beef with babysitters too?!?!
	10:54am TDK60: I wonder if there really is a bardo. If so, those folks coelacanth mentions may have some surprises in the bardo.
	10:56am Okay, I'm going to hell for this: I'm glad you're having a good time, honey, but I can't talk now. I've got the babysitter coming.
	10:59am TDK60: It's too bad, but I must leave the internet. Thanks for the tunes, Joe. See y'all.
	11:03am Blix: Wow. What a ridiculous cover. They really put the demented in Demensions.
	11:09am Ochre Ogre: Good Monday morning Joe. Funny Buddhist Christmasy song, sense no makes.
	11:09am Brendan: The Pretenders invoke the Renge Kyo chant in a song too. I have tried chanting Nam myo renge kyo after hitting my thumb with a hammer. Somehow I am not able too embrace oneness and find an alternative phrase more helpful.
	11:10am pullmyhair: I loved the lighthouse song and would love to find that to share with others, thanks for sharing it with us!
	11:11am Switchblade Batmat: When and where is the up with people thing? That sounds amazing
	11:12am melinda: Micah's last Up With People t-giving was a fill-in, and there were some listeners disturbed by the unexpected change of programming/content. It was funny.
	11:17am Ochre Ogre: Brendan- Yes, continuous swearing works for me in a situation like that.
	11:17am Dean: Oh wa, ta goo, Siam?
	11:22am KP: Nice autumnal acoustic piece here, joe
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @KP: I must admit, I'm feeling very autumnal musically lately.
	11:25am queems: this one sounds really good outside in my parents' yard
	11:25am Brendan: @Ochre - to be sure. The reminder that life is suffering is already apparent in the misguided hammer blow and need not be reinforced through said chant . Instead i find a free form verse of profanities sung scat style highly effective in achieving enlightenment.
	11:27am northguineahills: I liked that Asaran Earth Trio, it sounded like it was recorded in the late 60s.
	11:28am Brendan: I got a good vibe from that Esmerine track Joe.
	♥ 11:30am Joe McG: @Brendan: Real nice. Towards the end it reminded me of that Carl Orff theme from, oh what is it? "Badlands."
	11:36am Davee: Boing, boing!
	♥ 11:36am ⓘⓚⓔ: Woah, anybody read this book about the guy with the top single of 1966? I just stumbled across this at work: smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: @Davee: It's sort of the jawharp at the beach equivalent of the Yip-Yips!
	♥ 11:37am Greg from ZONE 5: Pretty, pretty set here, Joey
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: Thanks, Greggy! Nice to see you the other day, as ever.
	11:39am northguineahills: I've been liking what I've heard of this Laura Baird album.
	11:40am Brendan: @Joe . Yes - it really picked up steam there. Love me some marimba or vibes in my music. I was thinking/reminded of some great vibes in a pop song “Ed’s Funky Diner” 12” inch remix that I wore in the 80s
	♥ 11:40am The Oscar: @Ike Never read the book, but I did learn of his sordid history in a casual "What ever happened to..." search. That looks like a must-read!
	11:40am northguineahills: @Ike, I heard something to that effect of him, but didn't know as many details.
	11:41am Brendan: I literally wore that record out - either that or my 1 pound tone arm
	♥ 11:41am coelacanth∅: so, if Bill Withers would come out of retirement, maybe so will Anne Briggs.
	11:41am slugluv1313: good morning, everyone! wonderful show, Joe! very pretty, this Laura Baird song -- shades of Sandy Denny -- ??
	11:41am slugluv1313: good morning, everyone! wonderful show, Joe! very pretty, this Laura Baird song -- shades of Sandy Denny -- ??
	11:42am Davee: I hear an echo!
	11:43am northguineahills: coel is full of good ideas that we should all endorse.
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @slugluv: You're reading my mind! :)
	11:44am northguineahills: Sandy Denny, shades of Laura Baird.
	11:47am slugluv1313: @ Ike -- YOW!!! i remember "Ballad of a Green Beret" from when i was a little kid -- kinda gave me the creeps, even then! but i had NO idea about what happened afterwards; definitely a must read!
	♥ 11:47am coelacanth∅: thanks ngh! i'm all behind me, until i'm not... but others should think some of my ideas through thoroughly before endorsing them. (just an idea)
	11:48am slugluv1313: thanks, Joe! gosh, i miss Sandy Denny
	11:49am V Priceless: Great show, Joe - thanks!
	♥ 11:50am maestroso: Loving this set. Do you have anything with Maddy Prior?
	11:50am melinda: Digging this set.
	11:52am Brendan: Great seasonal Sandy song. Feeling November now!
	11:53am Listener Alexandra: Stunning show today, Joe!
	11:53am Brendan: The gales of November came early yesterday.
	♥ 11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, Alex and everyone! Ending the show with this Thanksgiving prayer. I hope you all have a nice holiday if you're in the U.S.; have a great week if you're elsewhere! I'll see you next Monday. :)
	11:55am Lewis: @brendan- nice...
	♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:56am northguineahills: @coel: When I try to get behind myself, I just go in circles.
	11:56am BronwynB: great show joe!!!
	♥ 11:57am steveo: thanks joe for the show; enjoy your Thanksgiving
	11:58am northguineahills: thanksssssssssssssss Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: @Joe - we are thankful for the feast we have just received.
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Joe, i can't have a great week if i'm in the u.s.? ...yeah i guess - probably not.
	♥ 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I read a story that 15 people were trampled in Morocco the other day at a food distribution place. How thankful we have stores with a bounty of food here.
	11:59am slugluv1313: just hearing this now -- Charles Manson has finally kicked the bucket!
	12:00pm slugluv1313: Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!
	♥ 12:00pm steveo: i heard greased lightning on the radio once and they sung the word shit!!!!
	1:58pm Ajax: The She's started when they were like 14 so you gotta cut them some slack RE punctuation. Also I asked them once why they were so good. The answer? Practice!
