	12:28pm Mary Wing: Hi coelacanth! Heh, nice!
	12:46pm rw: Good morning! Chrysta Bell sounds a lot like Tom Waits.
	12:50pm Mary Wing: Hey there, rw! Yeah, they have a similar vibe; she wrote that album with David Lynch.
	♥ 12:50pm steveo: howdee!! (don't mind the pricetag on my hat)
	12:52pm Mary Wing: Howdy-do! A descendant of the noble Pearl clan, are ye, steveo?
	12:52pm rw: David Lynch was a client of mine for a while but I only met him in person once. I'm told he loves me!
	♥ 12:55pm coelacanth∅: now i have another train song in my head (actually since that amazing Chrysta Bell song) i'll just wait...
	♥ 12:55pm steveo: my step-mother's from tennessee, that's all i got
	12:56pm Mary Wing: I once knew someone who knew someone who knew Bono's wife. :-)
	12:56pm Mary Wing: Give it to me, coelacanth, I'm not a mind reader!
	♥ 12:58pm coelacanth∅: it's kind of sad, and anyway i don't like giving unsolicited requests; but it's "trains of no return" by Ofra Haza (album: kirya)
	♥ 12:58pm coelacanth∅: ...and i think sometimes you ARE a mind reader!
	♥ 12:59pm steveo: Minnie Pearl was born about 60 miles from Clarksville, TN
	♥ 1:00pm steveo: the songwriter says his clarksville is fictitious, though
	♥ 1:00pm coelacanth∅: wasn't John Lee Hooker raised near clarkville?
	♥ 1:01pm coelacanth∅: (mississippi)
	1:01pm Mary Wing: I <3 Ofra Haza, but I don't know that album.
	♥ 1:02pm steveo: [Bobby Hart] thought Paul McCartney was singing "Take the last train", and decided to use the line when he found out McCartney was actually singing "Paperback Writer".
	♥ 1:02pm steveo: i hope he also got a hearing aid
	1:03pm rw: Haha! I'm pretty sure I once knew someone who knew someone who was Bono's personal chef! Working from home today so I've got plenty of time for train songs and other songs and to bug you guys.
	♥ 1:04pm coelacanth∅: oh,Mary! my favorite Ofra album! (though i have not heard all her albums)
	♥ 1:05pm coelacanth∅: hmm, i think John Lee was from clarksdale...
	♥ 1:15pm Bas NL: Hi Mary, all! quick wave
	1:18pm Mary Wing: Hi Bas, welcome to Wednesday whatever!
	♥ 1:21pm coelacanth∅: hey Bas
	♥ 1:23pm steveo: what is this sorcery????
	♥ 1:24pm steveo: (clicking link)
	♥ 1:25pm coelacanth∅: determined by experience health tip # 177: miso paste does in fact spoil, and get moldy eventually. ...now what do i eat?...
	♥ 1:29pm coelacanth∅: people say that once an animal that "normally" does not predate on humans has tasted human flesh it "gets a taste for it"...i suppose that a human could also "get a taste for it"...hence, an "autocannibalism loop"
	♥ 1:30pm coelacanth∅: (of course this would apply to any animal that eats it's own species)
	♥ 1:32pm coelacanth∅: (...maybe my 2 posts (1,25 & 1.29) would be better off nowhere near each-other!)
	1:34pm Mary Wing: I have this omelette at the local diner which consists of egg whites, avocado, and chicken breast. I jokingly refer to it as "the mother and child reunion" (is only an omelette away) since it's chicken and egg.
	♥ 1:37pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	1:37pm Robert Tables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyakodon
	♥ 1:38pm coelacanth∅: it might not be pragmatic marketing to call it that on the menu, unfortunately!
	1:42pm rw: R. Tables! Out of nowhere. Nice link! Mary, when I open my restaurant (it'll never really happen) I'm naming the Mother and Child Reunion Omelette in your honor.
	♥ 1:42pm coelacanth∅: yes that makes sense in japan. in the us people are childish and unrealistic in their views about food. (and most things)
	1:42pm Mary Wing: They call it a Turbo omelette, but I don't know why.
	1:45pm Mary Wing: bah, there really is a mother and child reunion dish! I thought I was so clever, but I STILL LOVE IT!
	1:45pm Mary Wing: And hi, Robert Tables, thanks for the link!
	♥ 1:50pm coelacanth∅: but you were clever. there's room for more than one clever person! i've invented so many things in my mind only to not do anything with those ideas and then see them on the market years later.
	1:50pm Robert Tables: Hello!
	♥ 1:52pm coelacanth∅: Yes!
	♥ 1:53pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mary!
	♥ 1:59pm doctorjazz: HI.
	2:00pm Mary Wing: Hi doctorjazz, just in time for 3oak!
	♥ 2:01pm david w: Hello Mary and everyone. I get to fully enjoy this next hour!
	♥ 2:03pm coelacanth∅: (i bought that Ofra Haza album in the 80s.)
	♥ 2:04pm coelacanth∅: (i don't know why they say released in 06)
	♥ 2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ingredients list of menu item Yesterday's Hash: "100% Whatever."
	2:08pm Mary Wing: Spotify doesn't always get it right with the dates; I'll fix it later. Hi Ken, your cat is bobbing along in perfect time!
	♥ 2:09pm coelacanth∅: heh same rhythm as "chains"
	2:10pm Mary Wing: I'm pretty sure I bought Fifty Gates of Wisdom in the 80s too, actually.
	♥ 2:11pm steveo: i crossed broadway on 13th street this morning. i was just myself.
	2:12pm northguineahills: It's been a while since I've been to broadway....
	2:12pm northguineahills: (more recently I've been to the Broadway in Brooklyn).
	♥ 2:13pm coelacanth∅: my last broadway experience was in kingston
	♥ 2:14pm steveo: i think it's hard to live on broadway because your street name doesn't have a street word, like street or place or avenue
	2:14pm Mary Wing: Hey there, NGH! NYC misses you!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: From Wikipedia: A young Phil Spector played the distinctive lead guitar solo on The Drifters' recording.
	♥ 2:19pm coelacanth∅: good point steveo. 'should be "broad way"
	♥ 2:19pm steveo: i don't think englebert was playing that there guitar, however
	♥ 2:21pm steveo: if it's the same recording i found on discogs, it was robbie kreiger of the doors playing for E.H.
	♥ 2:23pm steveo: @coel: blasphemy!
	♥ 2:23pm Webhamster Henry: On Broadway / George Benson version is nice in ALL THAT JAZZ.
	♥ 2:23pm coelacanth∅: wow that was pretty shreddy for Robbie
	♥ 2:24pm Webhamster Henry: @ceolocanthø MY last Broadway experience was in Kingston too!
	♥ 2:24pm coelacanth∅: i have Benson's on a 45. i didn't buy it but i'm glad i have it.
	♥ 2:25pm coelacanth∅: Henry, did you feel the magic?!
	2:25pm Mary Wing: The 45 is an edited version; should I play the entire 10-minute jam?
	2:25pm Dean: Genesis version upcoming? All three or four seconds of it?
	♥ 2:26pm coelacanth∅: [i vote yes]
	♥ 2:28pm coelacanth∅: i would like to like the cookies version the best, since i feel they got a raw deal (a la the contours; the marvelettes; etc...) but i really did like the crystals' version better.
	2:30pm Parq: Oh man, that Radio Free Europe spot!
	2:31pm Mary Wing: Right, Parq?!?
	♥ 2:31pm Webhamster Henry: I'd say! I'm ready to defect. Oh, wait.
	2:33pm Mary Wing: Dean, which Genesis song is that? Lamb lies down on Broadway?
	2:34pm Dean: Yes, the fade-out and segue to the next track on the album invokes the refrain. I was joking, of course, at least sorta kinda joking.
	2:35pm Parq: It's not available on recording, I suppose, but I saw Elvis Costello on the opening night of his multi-night Broadway Theater stand in October 1986, and he closed with "On Broadway".
	2:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Might have to get on the R ( Broadway Local) Train after this set.
	2:36pm northguineahills: @Parq: That gave me a REM earworm....
	2:36pm Mary Wing: Aw, nice, Parq! Elvis does a great job on covers, usually. Hey there, Kevin, stand clear of the closing doors!
	2:37pm Mary Wing: Heh, that's because you're too young to remember the commercial, NGH...
	2:39pm Mary Wing: I'm sure I read an early interview with Stipe or Buck and they mentioned the commercial as an inspiration for the song.
	2:39pm northguineahills: Yet, old enough to catch Radio Free Europe the first time I went to Europe, and other free radio stations the State Department had around the world on shortwave went I got a shortwave radio in Japan as a kid. Off to lunch, thanks Mary!
	2:40pm Parq: {tries to figure out what Elvis's Broadway stand has to do with REM, reads Mary's comment, light bulb goes off over head}
	2:41pm Mary Wing: it's all connected, Parq, eventually.
	♥ 2:43pm doctorjazz: Like this Neil Young version.
	♥ 2:43pm coelacanth∅: (yes, even my comments are always related to the program &/or comment board...somehow...)
	2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Certainly all connected when Mr Young takes the helm!
	♥ 2:43pm steveo: say this neil young guy is good at music
	♥ 2:47pm fred: Good afternoon Mary and 100% listeners
	2:47pm Parq: There's also the snippet of "On Broadway" that Bowie tosses out at the end of "Aladdin Sane" on "David Live" from the 1973 (?) Diamond Dogs tour.
	2:47pm Mary Wing: I can play this here KEYTAR!
	2:47pm rw: Wow. This Gary Numan.
	2:48pm Mary Wing: Hi fred! Glad you made it!
	♥ 2:49pm coelacanth∅: hey fred and, what rw said
	2:50pm Parq: Ditto on the Newman.
	♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: and Wow! this Slim Smith!
	2:52pm Mary Wing: Slim's taking liberties with the lyrics, but it's cool.
	♥ 2:52pm doctorjazz: Reggae On Broadway!
	♥ 2:56pm coelacanth∅: that was fairly brilliant Mary, to play that sapphires song at the end!
	♥ 2:58pm steveo: thanks for the fun mary
	♥ 2:58pm coelacanth∅: Great program Mary Thanks!
	2:59pm Mary Wing: Thanks for hanging out with me today, see you next week!

	♥ 2:26pm coelacanth∅: [i vote yes]
	♥ 2:28pm coelacanth∅: i would like to like the cookies version the best, since i feel they got a raw deal (a la the contours; the marvelettes; etc...) but i really did like the crystals' version better.
	2:30pm Parq: Oh man, that Radio Free Europe spot!
	2:31pm Mary Wing: Right, Parq?!?
	♥ 2:31pm Webhamster Henry: I'd say! I'm ready to defect. Oh, wait.
	2:33pm Mary Wing: Dean, which Genesis song is that? Lamb lies down on Broadway?
	2:34pm Dean: Yes, the fade-out and segue to the next track on the album invokes the refrain. I was joking, of course, at least sorta kinda joking.
	2:35pm Parq: It's not available on recording, I suppose, but I saw Elvis Costello on the opening night of his multi-night Broadway Theater stand in October 1986, and he closed with "On Broadway".
	2:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Might have to get on the R ( Broadway Local) Train after this set.
	2:36pm northguineahills: @Parq: That gave me a REM earworm....
	2:36pm Mary Wing: Aw, nice, Parq! Elvis does a great job on covers, usually. Hey there, Kevin, stand clear of the closing doors!
	2:37pm Mary Wing: Heh, that's because you're too young to remember the commercial, NGH...
	2:39pm Mary Wing: I'm sure I read an early interview with Stipe or Buck and they mentioned the commercial as an inspiration for the song.
	2:39pm northguineahills: Yet, old enough to catch Radio Free Europe the first time I went to Europe, and other free radio stations the State Department had around the world on shortwave went I got a shortwave radio in Japan as a kid. Off to lunch, thanks Mary!
	2:40pm Parq: {tries to figure out what Elvis's Broadway stand has to do with REM, reads Mary's comment, light bulb goes off over head}
	2:41pm Mary Wing: it's all connected, Parq, eventually.
	♥ 2:43pm doctorjazz: Like this Neil Young version.
	♥ 2:43pm coelacanth∅: (yes, even my comments are always related to the program &/or comment board...somehow...)
	2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Certainly all connected when Mr Young takes the helm!
	♥ 2:43pm steveo: say this neil young guy is good at music
	♥ 2:47pm fred: Good afternoon Mary and 100% listeners
	2:47pm Parq: There's also the snippet of "On Broadway" that Bowie tosses out at the end of "Aladdin Sane" on "David Live" from the 1973 (?) Diamond Dogs tour.
	2:47pm Mary Wing: I can play this here KEYTAR!
	2:47pm rw: Wow. This Gary Numan.
	2:48pm Mary Wing: Hi fred! Glad you made it!
	♥ 2:49pm coelacanth∅: hey fred and, what rw said
	2:50pm Parq: Ditto on the Newman.
	♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: and Wow! this Slim Smith!
	2:52pm Mary Wing: Slim's taking liberties with the lyrics, but it's cool.
	♥ 2:52pm doctorjazz: Reggae On Broadway!
	♥ 2:56pm coelacanth∅: that was fairly brilliant Mary, to play that sapphires song at the end!
	♥ 2:58pm steveo: thanks for the fun mary
	♥ 2:58pm coelacanth∅: Great program Mary Thanks!
