	👻 9:46am Brian in UK: Joe, I seem to remember that Apple issued a cajun single when they first started. Cannot recall the name. They were diverse/freeform. Now that would be an interesting show!
	9:47am TDK60: ..this Byrds tune is a fave (as many of their cuts are!)
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Oh yes, perfect song for the weather here. In fact the whole album. Out of conflict comes a beautiful album.
	9:47am Roberto: And King of Fuh is Fuh-King glorious.
	👻 9:48am Brian in UK: At a time when albums averages 30-33 minutes long.
	9:50am morphe': That set made me think of Sandy Denny and I had no idea of the first "SANDY" tune. I did not know Peggy Lipton sang too??? The reason X-Ray and I did not get along (both born 1961) is that we had crushes on the same women:Jeannie, Samantha, Sr Betrill, Peggy Lipton .... I told him he could have his Taylor Ham and I would take the fantasies... Got to go Joe... Remember Do not walk around with those 45s in yer hand...Morphe
	9:50am melinda: @steveo me too
	9:50am Roberto: That was pretty good for a non-Gene-Clark song.

	9:51am Guido from Cologne: Can someone send Boogarins to Cologne please?
	9:52am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, early Apple had some interesting things, like that temple recording.
	9:52am Slaboch: Friendly heads up to all Surface Noise fans that Sachiko Kanenobu will be playing at Union Brooklyn on June 7th, Central Park on June 8th, and in LA at Zebulon on June 20th!
	9:53am Joe McG: Yes, thanks Slaboch! Everyone, go check out Sachiko live. Hearing "Misora" live is an amazing experience.
	9:56am morphe': Guido - why do ya want someone to send boogers to Koln??? That is like bring coal to Newcastle
	9:57am Z-pulpa: Goodmorning from a rainy Baltimore.
	9:57am Barba Yiorgi: the segue into the Byrds from Force was fuh- king brilliant. you are the King of rainy day sets!
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: @morph' well it would be if we still had a coal industry! Who would be a miner.
	9:58am Joe McG: Thanks, Barba! :)
	👻 9:59am Brian in UK: Odd that the man who invented the segway was killed riding one.
	👻 10:01am karlward: Joe: Get Kryssi Battalene to shred out a guitar solo over this bed and you've got yourself a deal.
	10:02am morphe': Brian UK - I still have a copy of the all anonymous MAGGIE OUT 12' "ALL SUPPORT TO THE MINERS" The other day on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me -NPR -they pointed out that Ding Dong the Witch is Dead Made it to #2 on the uk Charts after maggie's death....!!!
	👻 10:04am Brian in UK: Her death was not mourned by many overhere. Surprise.
	10:06am morphe': "MAGGIE>> MAGGIE >> MAGGIE >>>OUT>> OUT OUT" I do not do demo chants but I live with that one
	10:07am Joe McG: A lot of cool stuff on Don's web site about his career in music: donmuro.com
	10:10am annie: (joe, is swag still going out?)
	10:10am Joe McG: @annie: Yes, annie, we're sending a lot of stuff out but there's a long way to go!
	10:11am The Oscar: Oh, funny-- I have an old Ampeg amp, but the accordion input doesn't work. I always assumed that was the joke!
	10:12am TDK60: ..never heard of Don Muro. That's what WFMU is, my catch-up music appreciation service...
	10:16am Roberto: Whoa, Daniel Johnston is a total rip of this guy!
	10:17am Joe McG: @TDK60: The variety and scope of his music is great. We're starting off with him having fun with home with early late '60s type stuff, but he goes amazing places, so stay with us.
	10:18am annie: ok... i thought so..thanks.

	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...are they using this in the new Godzilla ?? :) ...
	11:01am Roberto: FUN-KAY!
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In the 1970s w/ our cassette recorders - sat in music store my mom worked in while someone demonstrated an ARP...but I held the mic in my hand & moved around too much. Lesson 1 in Recording...
	11:10am Pete: This interview is making my year.
	11:11am Joe McG: I love that I can bring it to you. Don is not only a great musician but a hell of a nice guy! And he was there for it all.

	👻 11:16am Webhamster Henry: This is great fun I used to read Don's column and play those Flexidisks.
	11:17am Dominick: so good!
	11:17am Pete: I can’t remember the last time somebody said CV Gates to me. I should have gone to bed a long time ago. Brilliant.
	11:20am Lost Cause: excellent show! I used to own a PolySix and a Korg M1. had no idea Don did the demo.
	11:22am Joe McG: @LC: Yes, Don's demos were the Korg standby for years. How many musicians were influenced by them? The mind boggles.
	11:22am Granny Spicy Tuna: we have lift off
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: Joe, wonder if Pete Townshend use this as a guide for Underture
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Oh 1981 maybe not.
	11:26am Pete: I used an M1 through the U.S. in the 90’s. Can’t say I ever listened to the demos. Ha. Use an SV-1 currently. Chilled out in my old age.lol
	11:27am Lost Cause: Wow! this is like every 70s/80s tv show theme on steroids + Weather Report at their peak all in one. Don is the real Greatest American Hero
	11:28am Pete: Lost cause, nailed it
	11:29am Pete: Believe it or not...
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WFMU: Deeper & more Delightful...

	👻 11:39am Brian in UK: Do not try this at home, kids.
	11:40am Brendan: Amazing show. Do you feel like we do?
	11:40am Mick: Amazing.
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More sanitary than a talkbox tube in yer throat...

	11:41am Lost Cause: AutoTune was so much better in the 70s
	11:42am porchy: that was great
	👻 11:44am Webhamster Henry: A big show of synths "Superbooth" went on last weekend in Berlin cdm.link...
	11:48am Lost Cause: Reminds me of Stevie R Moore a bit
	11:48am G: I think WABC FM became WPLJ soon after 1970, which was a big force in NYC radio for years, and is changing to an all-religion format May 31...
	11:49am Joe McG: WPLJ R.I.P.
	👻 11:50am tim from champaign: Thanks for the great and informative interview, Joe. How was this not a huge hit?
	11:53am Carmichael: Autotune was invented in 1996.
	👻 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:53am Joe McG: @tim: It's a real #1, but it never came out at the time, unfortunately. Imagine if Don's RCA record deal had gone through?
	👻 11:53am Webhamster Henry: WPLJ: Jim Kerr lived downstairs from my sisters. He used to end his show playing the Doors "This is the End"
	11:54am jinjabredboy: This has been great stuff Joe - many thanks
	👻 11:55am tim from champaign: Man, that's be awesome. If I've got my dates right then there's be Don Muro on Dynoflex vinyl.
	11:55am aaronfromMI: This is great! I'd never heard of Don Muro before, I'm excited to listen to the parts of the interview that I missed.
	11:55am Krys O.: Great show, Joe!
	11:55am Irene Trudel: G, WABC-FM was the first FM station I listened to at length as a kid. I've often said their "Love" format was a huge influence on my musical development, often playing soft rock and similar tunes. I remember that Station ID Joe played!
	11:55am steveo: wonderful show -- thanks Joe & Don!
	👻 11:55am Brian in UK: Great stuff Joe, very informative.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week!
	11:56am Kelly Jones: Dude, I am loving this friggin' show. Sooooo great. Don Muro is insanely good!
	11:56am Brendan: Don’s eclecticism makes him a Surface Noise natural.
	11:56am Krys O.: Wm. Berger's father was program director at WPLJ for many years. Larry Berger passed away last year. RIP to him and to WPLJ.
	11:57am G: Yes, "Love" was a programming format that had some freeform elements to it, back in the early 70s...
	11:58am Irene Trudel: Sadly, WPLJ din't speak to me aside from the early days.
	11:58am Irene Trudel: Thanks for a great show, Joe!

	9:50am morphe': That set made me think of Sandy Denny and I had no idea of the first "SANDY" tune. I did not know Peggy Lipton sang too??? The reason X-Ray and I did not get along (both born 1961) is that we had crushes on the same women:Jeannie, Samantha, Sr Betrill, Peggy Lipton .... I told him he could have his Taylor Ham and I would take the fantasies... Got to go Joe... Remember Do not walk around with those 45s in yer hand...Morphe

	11:48am Lost Cause: Reminds me of Stevie R Moore a bit
	11:48am G: I think WABC FM became WPLJ soon after 1970, which was a big force in NYC radio for years, and is changing to an all-religion format May 31...

	👻 11:50am tim from champaign: Thanks for the great and informative interview, Joe. How was this not a huge hit?

	👻 11:53am 12539: Thanks, Joe!

	11:55am Krys O.: Great show, Joe!
	11:55am Irene Trudel: G, WABC-FM was the first FM station I listened to at length as a kid. I've often said their "Love" format was a huge influence on my musical development, often playing soft rock and similar tunes. I remember that Station ID Joe played!
