Listener comments!
	🛒 10:57am WR: Can't be active listener / commenter today. Work will require my full attention but wanted to say that last week Doug's and then your cover show was the combination knock out punch to make me become swag for life supporter. Of course many other WFMU shows that I enjoy but last Friday pushed me to act.
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Excellent to hear, WR!
	12:00pm dan: I hope the woman in the animation is destroying a Florence Foster Jenkins record.

	12:06pm Roberto: Happy herky jerky time, all.
	12:07pm βrian: Caravans require camels, don't they? Then there's this: vintagecaravans.proboards.com...
	12:07pm holland oats: ...isle of the dead?
	12:07pm Rich in Washington: Hiya, Uncle Michael! Hi everybody!

	12:11pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Uncle Michael!
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: je parle Hinky Dinky
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: Say! That rhythm is rippling!
	12:11pm chresti: yay shellacs going steady
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:12pm Asheville Jon: UM!
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: (the inspiration for deee-lite, i'm sure)
	🛒 12:14pm dutchtheo: Howdy! Holland Oats: It’s A Wonderful Life
	12:14pm dan: Is that Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich on the drums?
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: sounds like Krupa to me
	12:16pm Marie: Yowza!
	12:17pm Listener Gregory: @dan, Did Buddy Rich play with Shaw?
	12:17pm dan: @Marie Cue Gig Young from "They Shoot Horses, Don't They"
	12:17pm dan: @Gregory Everyone played with everyone else in big band, it's possible.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: LG!
	12:18pm holland oats: @dutchtheo gulp
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: This is the first Spike Jones song I remember ever hearing.
	12:19pm Listener Gregory: @UM, what are you playing these shellac discs on? Just a regular turntable?
	12:20pm Funky16Corners: GAHHHHHD I love the Ink Spots!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: Hi UM! Real 78s! I remember you coming across a stash of records, these them?
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Aiudio Technicha LP-120's ... they spin three speeds.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Holland! Doc!
	12:21pm holland oats: sounds like lonnie johnson on guitar
	12:21pm sinner: Who much is that doggie in the window?
	12:22pm Marie: Hey Dan, I'm not sure I have ever seen that as I find the title kind of offputting.. but I have heard great things about it
	12:22pm Listener Gregory: Intrigued by Knock Kneed Sal (on the Mourner's Bench).
	12:22pm Rich in Washington: UM, I might be going down the 78 rabbithole. What kind of needle/cartridge are you using with your ATs for 78s?
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: Larry i was once brainwashed with the ink spots in a place of employment. i didn't like it at first and now, 20 years later, i occasionally listen to an hour of (original) ink spots music!
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: I think this show is making me more productive at work.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: yeah i've never heard that ink spots b-side either
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: sinner! Marie!
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: Except when I stopped to write that comment. And this one.
	12:24pm Funky16Corners: @C - My Pop and my Uncle Frank, whenever together (exceedingly rare these days since they both hover around 90) will break into their Ink Spots imitation. I just love that sound.
	12:24pm sinner: (UM: can you fix that "who" for me?)
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:24pm holland oats: ...and reading the comments...
	12:24pm Jeff Golick: But I'm not reading the comments.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Rich, I switched from the Shures to the Grados.
	12:25pm Listener Gregory: It's very hard to think of a Sextet that matches this one.
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: (grados are fine)
	12:26pm coelacanth∅: Larry i can almost hear your wheels turning!
	12:27pm holland oats: me neither i just look at the pictures
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: (For some reason my comments are being rendered with line breaks that make it seem as though I'm writing in free verse. I'm not, just fyi.)
	12:29pm holland oats: not seeing that here
	12:29pm Funky16Corners: @C - They're ALWAYS turning, but with increasing velocity while listening to stuff like thit!
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: haha -well i'll be there if you do an ink spots show
	🛒 12:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning!
	12:33pm Marie: You are the top, you are the Mona Lisa, Uncle Michael! :>)
	12:33pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, so free jazz is ok, but free verse is not? Let freedom ring!
	12:34pm coelacanth∅: ...when i was planning to leave that job i borrowed all my employer's ink spots records and made a montage of just the intros to every ink spots song. (the majority of which are basically the same!)
	12:35pm dan: @Marie "They Shoot Horses..." is an alright film. I don't like Jane Fonda though.
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: Free verse is a-ok with me, just not BY me.
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: They definitely had a formula!
	12:36pm Listener Gregory: Nick Fatool?
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: Jeff it's not showing that way here either
	12:36pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, well, that one rhymed, so you're safe.
	🛒 12:39pm Brian in UK: The UK release of Cocktails had Chloe on the flip sung by Red 'Swamphead' Ingle. Used to have it until the inevitable happened.
	12:39pm Alex In Illinois: It's a bummer about 78s not having the release date. I guess it never occurred to them back then that people in the future would want to know. A sound recording is a captured moment.
	🛒 12:40pm Brian in UK: Chappells were in the sheet music business.
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: Know to the ladies as Nathan "Swollen" Glantz...
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Alex!
	12:42pm northguineahills: I believe that I've heard Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo here before at some point (maybe another version?)
	12:42pm Marie: Hey Dan, who else is in that? I got the impression that it is a not-very-good, late 60s/early-70s-kind-of-downer flick. What don't you like about Jane Fonda? Is it her acting?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: More than you want to know: hinkydinky.net...
	12:43pm dan: @Marie Jane Fonda's acting is stale and mediocre. She's like the Nancy Sinatra of actors. They're only famous because of their much more superior fathers.
	12:44pm dan: @Marie Gig Young (who won the Oscar for his performance) Michael Sarrazin, Susannah York, Red Buttons, Bruce Dern, Bonnie Bedelia etc...
	12:47pm Funky16Corners: @UM - How many Hinky Dinky 'variations' (i.e. not straight covers) are you aware of?
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Oh, Larry...never thought about it!
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: That sounds like a snake charmer!
	12:51pm dan: UM, next fundraising time, you should do a show of all covers of Gershwin's "Summertime"
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: The Land of Oui Oui Oui!
	🛒 12:55pm WR: I want a pin-up photo of Maureen Englin for my bunker.
	12:55pm Listener Gregory: It says something about human nature that people can write and enjoy such a cheerful song about the most horrific event in the history of the world at the time (WWI).
	12:56pm dan: I'd like to see Adele or Lady Gaga do a cover a Hinky Dinky Parley Voo
	12:57pm holland oats: hey now!
	12:59pm chresti: What does Hinky dinky parlay voo, mean?
	🛒 1:01pm WR: Yes, they would release the same recording on different labels with different performer names. Some popular tunes got released many times.
	1:04pm johnk77: another great show shellac selecter:>
	1:07pm johnk77: very strong +1 on the audio technica turntable an easy to use workhorse provides best simulation of technics 1200 for reasonable $ in addition to 78 rpm function
	🛒 1:07pm WR: Yes, the word torrent has been take over by the BitTorrent stuff, so perhaps not the best word choice in these times. Perhaps "endless streams " would better.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: john!
	🛒 1:10pm WR: Well, break time over, felicidades to all drummers and WFMU streamers.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: tchau WR
	1:16pm Listening Out There: Have only watched first 3 segments of Ken Burns' documentary on country music. Will have to see if/how Tex Ritter fits in.... :)
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: L.O.T.! He doesn't!
	1:18pm Listening Out There: Huh. Go figger.
	1:20pm Marie: @Dan--yeah, though I think Jane Fonda got better...? BTW, Summer time is one of my all-time fave songs. I like your show idea. I think a show of all "La Bambas" would be great too.
	1:20pm northguineahills: @Listening Out There: I have the last part to watch tonight.
	1:23pm Listening Out There: "Hinky dinky parlez vous"...isn't this a case of...product placement? Maybe subliminal advertising?
	1:24pm βrian: C'est "Hinquez Dinquez," n'est-ce pas ?
	1:26pm Listening Out There: @Brian: Ah, sure...er, certainement!
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: interesting piano here
	1:27pm chresti: I think it must be a dance step- hinky dinky
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: i cannot do the hinky dinky my feet are wonky, but at least not stinky...
	1:30pm chresti: If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
	1:30pm dan: Here's some more information about Hinky Dinky Parley Voo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mademoiselle_from_Armenti%C3%A8res
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: a racist AND a square
	1:33pm Listening Out There: "Ford" is, of course, an acronym for "Found On Road Dead" :)
	1:34pm johnk77: fix or repair daily
	1:34pm Marie: What a square
	1:34pm chresti: Fix Or Repair Daily
	1:35pm Alex In Illinois: I think Bill Driver was an African American fiddler who played a lot of square dances.
	1:38pm chresti: and FIAT is fix it again Tony
	1:39pm Alex In Illinois: What I am getting at is that if Mr. Ford thought he found something that was "purely white" then the joke is on him.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: unfortunately i'm obliged to foxtrot on out of here now Thanks UM for another Splendid program! tchau, dinkles
	1:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm sensing a theme of some sort. . .
	1:57pm dan: At first I thought that last rendition of HDPV was either French or Yiddish
	2:04pm Funky16Corners: I always think of Mischa Auer singing this in an old movie.
	🛒 2:14pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HDLand. I'm checking in as the "International Jew" since Mr Ford was in play!
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:16pm Marie: Fantastic show, Michael--thanks!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Marie!
	2:20pm dan: I'm gonna have Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo in my head for a very long time.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: War is hell.
	2:21pm johnk77: march tempos
	2:21pm johnk77: yet still foxtrot?:>
	2:23pm dan: It even has a different name in Greek.
	🛒 2:23pm KevinfromBayRidge: Enjoying the show greatly, Wish my parents could be here to enjoy it too. They did love your "1939" show, a few years back.
	2:25pm johnk77: yes this superior mix was my late parent's dance program
	2:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: So much clicky-starring today!
	2:35pm dan: This was a Shellac-tastic show Uncle Michael.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, dan.
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: I've been working in the background. Thank you for excavating the sounds from the shellac!
	2:39pm Pedro in Arlington: If people only listened to these records while driving, there'd be fewer accidents and much less road rage.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	2:41pm The Oscar: A belated afternoon! This is maybe the peppiest version of the Hungarian Suicide Song I've ever heard.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	2:45pm Dean: It's as if Elmer Fudd were singing, "Little Rock."
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: That's comedy gold.
	2:48pm The Oscar: The Ink Spots are the most effective blood pressure medication.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Is this where the announcer cuts in "Here,in the Orchid Lounge, High atop the Hotel Hinky Dinky, we bid you adieu, and ask that you join us every week at this time. And don't forget to smoke Lucky Strikes, and drink your Ovaltine!"
	2:48pm Dean: "...but not at the same time!"
	2:49pm dan: Here's the Yiddish version, I figured there was.
	2:49pm Listening Out There: I thought I heard Joel Gray's dad...
	2:50pm Marie: This set is so loverly
	2:50pm Hopey Sockmonkey: It's okay. It's kosher.
	2:51pm Listening Out There: Clap your hands, say oi...
	2:55pm holland oats: Great show parlay voo. Really enjoyed it parlay voo.
	2:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thank you for the wonderful show, UM! I know I'll be giving it several re-listens in the archives.
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Unk!
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks UM!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all very much!
	🛒 7:22pm WR: Archive playback time. Weird that your first set is setting off memories galore. Listened a lot to these in the late 70s and early 80s after I gave up on new wave and punk rock. Thank you so much for juggling the 10 inch disks, I would have been tempted to digitize them all ahead of time. But that is a laugh for me to say as I have not yet digitized any of my shellac disks. Ok. Will just listen until I have actual info to add.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 18, 2019

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Listener comments!
	🛒 10:57am WR: Can't be active listener / commenter today. Work will require my full attention but wanted to say that last week Doug's and then your cover show was the combination knock out punch to make me become swag for life supporter. Of course many other WFMU shows that I enjoy but last Friday pushed me to act.
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Excellent to hear, WR!
	12:00pm dan: I hope the woman in the animation is destroying a Florence Foster Jenkins record.
	12:03pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mornin', Dinks!
	12:03pm Hopey Sockmonkey: And that woman is Donna Reed :)
	12:03pm Funky16Corners: Reporting for hinking and/or dinking at 78RPM!

	12:06pm Goyim in the AM: OK, what's next? "A dumpster, a dumpster/that's my new home".
	12:06pm Roberto: Happy herky jerky time, all.
	12:07pm βrian: Caravans require camels, don't they? Then there's this: vintagecaravans.proboards.com...
	12:07pm holland oats: ...isle of the dead?
	12:07pm Rich in Washington: Hiya, Uncle Michael! Hi everybody!

	12:11pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Uncle Michael!
	12:11pm Asheville Jon: je parle Hinky Dinky
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: Say! That rhythm is rippling!
	12:11pm chresti: yay shellacs going steady
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:12pm Asheville Jon: UM!
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: (the inspiration for deee-lite, i'm sure)
	🛒 12:14pm dutchtheo: Howdy! Holland Oats: It’s A Wonderful Life
	12:14pm dan: Is that Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich on the drums?
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: sounds like Krupa to me
	12:16pm Marie: Yowza!
	12:17pm Listener Gregory: @dan, Did Buddy Rich play with Shaw?
	12:17pm dan: @Marie Cue Gig Young from "They Shoot Horses, Don't They"
	12:17pm dan: @Gregory Everyone played with everyone else in big band, it's possible.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: LG!
	12:18pm holland oats: @dutchtheo gulp
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: This is the first Spike Jones song I remember ever hearing.
	12:19pm Listener Gregory: @UM, what are you playing these shellac discs on? Just a regular turntable?
	12:20pm Funky16Corners: GAHHHHHD I love the Ink Spots!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: Hi UM! Real 78s! I remember you coming across a stash of records, these them?
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Aiudio Technicha LP-120's ... they spin three speeds.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Holland! Doc!
	12:21pm holland oats: sounds like lonnie johnson on guitar
	12:21pm sinner: Who much is that doggie in the window?
	12:22pm Marie: Hey Dan, I'm not sure I have ever seen that as I find the title kind of offputting.. but I have heard great things about it
	12:22pm Listener Gregory: Intrigued by Knock Kneed Sal (on the Mourner's Bench).
	12:22pm Rich in Washington: UM, I might be going down the 78 rabbithole. What kind of needle/cartridge are you using with your ATs for 78s?
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: Larry i was once brainwashed with the ink spots in a place of employment. i didn't like it at first and now, 20 years later, i occasionally listen to an hour of (original) ink spots music!
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: I think this show is making me more productive at work.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: yeah i've never heard that ink spots b-side either
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: sinner! Marie!
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: Except when I stopped to write that comment. And this one.
	12:24pm Funky16Corners: @C - My Pop and my Uncle Frank, whenever together (exceedingly rare these days since they both hover around 90) will break into their Ink Spots imitation. I just love that sound.
	12:24pm sinner: (UM: can you fix that "who" for me?)
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:24pm holland oats: ...and reading the comments...
	12:24pm Jeff Golick: But I'm not reading the comments.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Rich, I switched from the Shures to the Grados.
	12:25pm Listener Gregory: It's very hard to think of a Sextet that matches this one.
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: (grados are fine)
	12:26pm coelacanth∅: Larry i can almost hear your wheels turning!
	12:27pm holland oats: me neither i just look at the pictures
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: (For some reason my comments are being rendered with line breaks that make it seem as though I'm writing in free verse. I'm not, just fyi.)
	12:29pm holland oats: not seeing that here
	12:29pm Funky16Corners: @C - They're ALWAYS turning, but with increasing velocity while listening to stuff like thit!
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: haha -well i'll be there if you do an ink spots show
	🛒 12:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning!
	12:33pm Marie: You are the top, you are the Mona Lisa, Uncle Michael! :>)
	12:33pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, so free jazz is ok, but free verse is not? Let freedom ring!
	12:34pm coelacanth∅: ...when i was planning to leave that job i borrowed all my employer's ink spots records and made a montage of just the intros to every ink spots song. (the majority of which are basically the same!)
	12:35pm dan: @Marie "They Shoot Horses..." is an alright film. I don't like Jane Fonda though.
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: Free verse is a-ok with me, just not BY me.
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: They definitely had a formula!
	12:36pm Listener Gregory: Nick Fatool?
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: Jeff it's not showing that way here either
	12:36pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, well, that one rhymed, so you're safe.
	🛒 12:39pm Brian in UK: The UK release of Cocktails had Chloe on the flip sung by Red 'Swamphead' Ingle. Used to have it until the inevitable happened.
	12:39pm Alex In Illinois: It's a bummer about 78s not having the release date. I guess it never occurred to them back then that people in the future would want to know. A sound recording is a captured moment.
	🛒 12:40pm Brian in UK: Chappells were in the sheet music business.
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: Know to the ladies as Nathan "Swollen" Glantz...
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Alex!
	12:42pm northguineahills: I believe that I've heard Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo here before at some point (maybe another version?)
	12:42pm Marie: Hey Dan, who else is in that? I got the impression that it is a not-very-good, late 60s/early-70s-kind-of-downer flick. What don't you like about Jane Fonda? Is it her acting?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: More than you want to know: hinkydinky.net...
	12:43pm dan: @Marie Jane Fonda's acting is stale and mediocre. She's like the Nancy Sinatra of actors. They're only famous because of their much more superior fathers.
	12:44pm dan: @Marie Gig Young (who won the Oscar for his performance) Michael Sarrazin, Susannah York, Red Buttons, Bruce Dern, Bonnie Bedelia etc...
	12:47pm Funky16Corners: @UM - How many Hinky Dinky 'variations' (i.e. not straight covers) are you aware of?
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Oh, Larry...never thought about it!
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: That sounds like a snake charmer!
	12:51pm dan: UM, next fundraising time, you should do a show of all covers of Gershwin's "Summertime"
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: The Land of Oui Oui Oui!
	🛒 12:55pm WR: I want a pin-up photo of Maureen Englin for my bunker.
	12:55pm Listener Gregory: It says something about human nature that people can write and enjoy such a cheerful song about the most horrific event in the history of the world at the time (WWI).
	12:56pm dan: I'd like to see Adele or Lady Gaga do a cover a Hinky Dinky Parley Voo
	12:57pm holland oats: hey now!
	12:59pm chresti: What does Hinky dinky parlay voo, mean?
	🛒 1:01pm WR: Yes, they would release the same recording on different labels with different performer names. Some popular tunes got released many times.
	1:04pm johnk77: another great show shellac selecter:>
	1:07pm johnk77: very strong +1 on the audio technica turntable an easy to use workhorse provides best simulation of technics 1200 for reasonable $ in addition to 78 rpm function
	🛒 1:07pm WR: Yes, the word torrent has been take over by the BitTorrent stuff, so perhaps not the best word choice in these times. Perhaps "endless streams " would better.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: john!
	🛒 1:10pm WR: Well, break time over, felicidades to all drummers and WFMU streamers.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: tchau WR
	1:16pm Listening Out There: Have only watched first 3 segments of Ken Burns' documentary on country music. Will have to see if/how Tex Ritter fits in.... :)
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: L.O.T.! He doesn't!
	1:18pm Listening Out There: Huh. Go figger.
	1:20pm Marie: @Dan--yeah, though I think Jane Fonda got better...? BTW, Summer time is one of my all-time fave songs. I like your show idea. I think a show of all "La Bambas" would be great too.
	1:20pm northguineahills: @Listening Out There: I have the last part to watch tonight.
	1:23pm Listening Out There: "Hinky dinky parlez vous"...isn't this a case of...product placement? Maybe subliminal advertising?
	1:24pm βrian: C'est "Hinquez Dinquez," n'est-ce pas ?
	1:26pm Listening Out There: @Brian: Ah, sure...er, certainement!
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: interesting piano here
	1:27pm chresti: I think it must be a dance step- hinky dinky
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: i cannot do the hinky dinky my feet are wonky, but at least not stinky...
	1:30pm chresti: If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
	1:30pm dan: Here's some more information about Hinky Dinky Parley Voo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mademoiselle_from_Armenti%C3%A8res
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: a racist AND a square
	1:33pm Listening Out There: "Ford" is, of course, an acronym for "Found On Road Dead" :)
	1:34pm johnk77: fix or repair daily
	1:34pm Marie: What a square
	1:34pm chresti: Fix Or Repair Daily
	1:35pm Alex In Illinois: I think Bill Driver was an African American fiddler who played a lot of square dances.
	1:38pm chresti: and FIAT is fix it again Tony
	1:39pm Alex In Illinois: What I am getting at is that if Mr. Ford thought he found something that was "purely white" then the joke is on him.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: unfortunately i'm obliged to foxtrot on out of here now Thanks UM for another Splendid program! tchau, dinkles
	1:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm sensing a theme of some sort. . .
	1:57pm dan: At first I thought that last rendition of HDPV was either French or Yiddish
	2:04pm Funky16Corners: I always think of Mischa Auer singing this in an old movie.
	🛒 2:14pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HDLand. I'm checking in as the "International Jew" since Mr Ford was in play!
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:16pm Marie: Fantastic show, Michael--thanks!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Marie!
	2:20pm dan: I'm gonna have Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo in my head for a very long time.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: War is hell.
	2:21pm johnk77: march tempos
	2:21pm johnk77: yet still foxtrot?:>
	2:23pm dan: It even has a different name in Greek.
	🛒 2:23pm KevinfromBayRidge: Enjoying the show greatly, Wish my parents could be here to enjoy it too. They did love your "1939" show, a few years back.
	2:25pm johnk77: yes this superior mix was my late parent's dance program
	2:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: So much clicky-starring today!
	2:35pm dan: This was a Shellac-tastic show Uncle Michael.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, dan.
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: I've been working in the background. Thank you for excavating the sounds from the shellac!
	2:39pm Pedro in Arlington: If people only listened to these records while driving, there'd be fewer accidents and much less road rage.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	2:41pm The Oscar: A belated afternoon! This is maybe the peppiest version of the Hungarian Suicide Song I've ever heard.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	2:45pm Dean: It's as if Elmer Fudd were singing, "Little Rock."
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: That's comedy gold.
	2:48pm The Oscar: The Ink Spots are the most effective blood pressure medication.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Is this where the announcer cuts in "Here,in the Orchid Lounge, High atop the Hotel Hinky Dinky, we bid you adieu, and ask that you join us every week at this time. And don't forget to smoke Lucky Strikes, and drink your Ovaltine!"
	2:48pm Dean: "...but not at the same time!"
	2:49pm dan: Here's the Yiddish version, I figured there was.
	2:49pm Listening Out There: I thought I heard Joel Gray's dad...
	2:50pm Marie: This set is so loverly
	2:50pm Hopey Sockmonkey: It's okay. It's kosher.
	2:51pm Listening Out There: Clap your hands, say oi...
	2:55pm holland oats: Great show parlay voo. Really enjoyed it parlay voo.
	2:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thank you for the wonderful show, UM! I know I'll be giving it several re-listens in the archives.
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Unk!
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks UM!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all very much!
	🛒 7:22pm WR: Archive playback time. Weird that your first set is setting off memories galore. Listened a lot to these in the late 70s and early 80s after I gave up on new wave and punk rock. Thank you so much for juggling the 10 inch disks, I would have been tempted to digitize them all ahead of time. But that is a laugh for me to say as I have not yet digitized any of my shellac disks. Ok. Will just listen until I have actual info to add.
