	♥ 3:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bob Barker will turn 94 next Tuesday. I forget, did he have some harassment lawsuits?
	3:31pm the Canterbury wood-elf: National Health were the only one of the so-called Canterbury bands not to feature any members with geographical links to the city, so they were most likely to dispute the tag. I can't find a Pete Frame tree that goes as far as NH (there's a 'Soft Machinery' one that's widely circulated), but there's a basic one here: www.geocities.co.jp...
	♥ 3:34pm The Oscar: Been busy working, but chiming in to say FREDDDD LAAAAAANE!!!

	♥ 3:49pm Irwin: Hello BroB!
	3:53pm BronwynB: ron wynn? finally, someone can write a poem about me. it just has to also be about ron wynn
	♥ 3:53pm AnAnonymousParty: I hope you got that 3 bucks I sent you.
	3:57pm Brainiac: English is not my first language. I grew up speaking typo. Still fluent after all these years.
	♥ 3:59pm Irwin: You need to study languaging. It's how you word. Once you learn how to sentence, you can speech.
	♥ 3:59pm dale: hello sir. will we be hearing any THE sopwith camel commercials today?
	♥ 4:01pm dale: i was a truth or consequences man. always loved when the snake jumped out of barker's box. (that sounds wrong)
	♥ 4:01pm dale: wow - was that coincidence?
	♥ 4:02pm Irwin: I don't see how you did that.
	♥ 4:04pm dale: i don't either. especially as i only got two out of threee correct in wavelengths this morning on wake and bake.
	4:13pm Tony Seymour: Listening in Hawaii
	4:13pm JakeGould: Hey Irwin! Condolences on Michelle Boulé’s passing. R.I.P.
	4:16pm BronwynB: get in the swing boys, get in the swing with everybody and everything!
	4:17pm David in London: Chiming in late here, but I can’t believe we’ll get a new Fred Lane album next year. That’s amazing news.
	4:17pm berbo: @dale You've won a year's supply of Turtle Wax!
	4:18pm Cooh John: Thanks for playing Saintseneca, my homies.
	♥ 4:18pm Bas NL: I miss the 70ies. Just look at those shiny happy people.
	4:19pm BronwynB: hey its optiganally yours, who introduced me to outsider music at age 6 with their shooby taylor-referencing song from the powerpuff girls soundtrack!
	♥ 4:20pm Passaic River Blues: Also, Optiganally Yours' "Poodleman" is an unheralded classic.
	♥ 4:21pm dale: berbo - yay! and rice-a-roni?
	♥ 4:27pm Irwin: Because you need to know: Hank Mobley (tenor sax) Mal Waldron (piano) Arthur Taylor (drums) Doug Watkins (bass) Donald Byrd (trumpet) Jackie McLean (alto sax)
	4:28pm Fredericks: Super solid line-up there, Irwin. Is it safe to say you're jazzing out?
	♥ 4:29pm Irwin: Safe, solid.
	4:31pm Carmichael: No cowbell??
	♥ 4:33pm Irwin: Cowbell comeback forecast for 2018. BIG, if true.
	4:36pm Carmichael: Gives the tambourine veterans some hope!
	4:37pm Brainiac: I would request this, but Irwin probably already has it queued up: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/luie_luie/touchy/
	4:38pm glenn: and what about the background singers? once they've done their ooh oohs and la las, and their little shimmy shake, now they can smack a cowbell.
	4:38pm glenn: or perhaps one bangs a cowbell.
	4:39pm Carmichael: I believe it's "bang a gong, smack a cowbell". At least that's what I learned at percussion school.
	4:40pm glenn: and "smack a cowbell, get it on" just doesn't work.
	♥ 4:41pm Uncle Michael: "Key": a favorite track by one of my very favorite bands.
	♥ 4:42pm dale: great guess who!!
	♥ 4:42pm Irwin: This is a shorter version, Michael. The drum solo had to go.
	4:43pm Fredericks: This Guess Who sounds like they're trying to become the Grateful Dead.
	4:43pm Carmichael: I saw these guys in '74, along with Montrose, Elvin Bishop and Redwing. In a race track stadium.
	♥ 4:43pm coelacanth: is this canned heat, from the album "the guess hoo"?
	♥ 4:43pm Fuzzy: Nice -- never heard this before. I like the longer album version of "No Time" too.
	♥ 4:44pm Irwin: COWBELL.
	4:44pm Carmichael: I believe that's Randy Bachman on guitar, no?
	♥ 4:44pm Uncle Michael: I understand, Irwin...the other version is loooooong. I set aside a ten minute Guess Who track for an upcoming show, not half an hour ago.
	♥ 4:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: This cowbell talk reminds me of watching downhill ski racing on TV. Some fans wave cowbells around.
	4:44pm glenn: garry peterson's a great drummer.
	♥ 4:45pm Passaic River Blues: Beats!
	4:45pm berbo: Every time you hear a cowbell, it means a lesser demon got his pitchfork.
	♥ 4:45pm Irwin: He is indeed a great drummer, but the solo on this track is irrelevant, distracting, and unnecessary. SEZ ME.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth: i cannot imagine that the guess who would want to sound like the grateful dead. (or anybody besides the guess who, for that matter)
	4:46pm glenn: yeah, but irwin, that applies to EVERY drum solo.
	4:47pm Warwick joe: That electric guest song was friggin great. Gonna see if my wife will dance to it. That’s always the quality gauge.
	4:47pm glenn: they tried to sound like the doors on at least a couple of songs.
	4:47pm Fredericks: Maybe it was musical osmosis Coelacanth.
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth: @4:45 for the same reason i like the single edit better of "i'd love to change the world".
	4:48pm Brainiac: @berbo Yeah, I'm stealing that one. When I tell it I'll preface it with, "Teacher says..."
	♥ 4:48pm Irwin: Glad I could find a second Electric Guest song to love besides "Dear to Me," which continues in heavy rotation in my headspace.
	4:48pm glenn: if you're gonna play old cancon, how's about mashmakhan? or crowbar.
	♥ 4:50pm coelacanth: Fredericks, or musical Aoxomoxoa
	4:55pm Fredericks: Quite likely.
	♥ 5:03pm Irwin: Gibbard is lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie.
	5:15pm tuskandhusk: Yaz Hollenback again here takin me back
	5:16pm tuskandhusk: But Death Cab crept into my ears today earlier
	5:17pm Fredericks: I like when large ensembles leave room for adventure. Too often the arrangements stiffen the delivery. I like my jazz loose-limbed. This Hollenbeck is just right
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm Alison Porchnik: Wow this is really great!
	5:43pm glenn: speaking of drummers, here's an interview with jerry granelli. www.cbc.ca...
	5:46pm Parq: Haven't had time to come out and play today, but the whole show has been terrific, as usual.
	5:48pm Parq: By the way, somewhere on FMU's archives there are videos of Ben Gibbard joining Tom Scharpling, Ted Leo and Patton Oswalt singing Abba's "Take a Chance" and Donovan's "Atlantis".
	♥ 5:50pm Irwin: They were joined by Vance, The Prog-Rock Puppet.
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Alison Porchnik: There was a Fairyland in downtown Oakland, CA that I used to visit. I wonder if this is the same?
	5:57pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin! Especially for Fairyland!
	♥ 5:57pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Irwin
	♥ 5:59pm Michael 98145: C U on the other side
	♥ 6:00pm blee: oh this various artists think is mighty sweet, great way to end a fantastic show!
