	♥ 4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi MB! Yes - the BBC erased loads of gems back in the day, sadly
	4:52pm Martinibomb: They did it just to torture folks like us I'm sure of it!
	4:53pm Martinibomb: Thank gawd for good old fashioned capitalist TV we may have ads but we also have all our TV shows. Hah lol

	♥ 5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Scott Walker just makes everything better :-)
	5:15pm Martinibomb: I don't think I heard anything from him until like 5yrs ago. One of those guys that kinda flew off my radar for a real long time and I don't know why

	♥ 5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: They should have that as a jingle ;-)
	5:19pm Martinibomb: This is a fantastic show by the way I always say that hah but I mean it

	5:21pm Linda Lee: this is going to be delicious!!
	♥ 5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: We're getting a bit mellow AND a bit groovy today :-)
	5:22pm Linda Lee: my fave combo these days. hate that i missed so much!
	♥ 5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: In TV news, I was underwhelmed by Season 3 of The Crown, but am currently very impressed by The Morning Show :-)
	5:23pm Linda Lee: gosh, i'd love something to look at that isn't crap! someone raved to me about this 'fleabag' thing & i thought it was awful.
	5:24pm Linda Lee: oh wow........ here we go.
	♥ 5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Still haven't seen Fleabag ... I'm addicted to Pose, Glow, and Grace & Frankie ;-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: i watched about 15 minutes, if that much. another grown woman with the mind of a pre-teen & the morals of a schauzer. who cares?
	♥ 5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The vocals on this Brooklyn Bridge are STUNNING :-)
	5:26pm Linda Lee: love it. glorious times for pop.
	5:28pm Linda Lee: a schnauzer! schnauzer! watch now: i'm about to find out i've been a jimmy webb fan all my life without knowing it. that's what your amazing shows do for me, GG!
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I follow this chap on YouTube who's an art restorer in Chicago, and his videos are wonderful. Very calming but also very entertaining and absorbing :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: nice! who is he?
	♥ 5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm turning the world on to musical nooks and crannies! ;-)
	♥ 5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Julian Baumgartner :-)
	5:29pm Linda Lee: cool! i will look!
	♥ 5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go: www.youtube.com...
	5:31pm Linda Lee: thank you! who was that talking? not Webb, was it?
	♥ 5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - Jimmy Webb. Part of an interview from about 10 years ago or so :-)
	♥ 5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Maybe a bit more
	5:32pm Linda Lee: how great! Jimmy Webb talks about sweeping out the studio.
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: They really did start them at the bottom in those days! Last week we had Tony Hatch making the tea, and this week we have Jimmy Webb sweeping the studios :-)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: right! bottom up! the dues!
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: But ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I love The 5th Dimension so much <3
	5:34pm Linda Lee: honey i do too. always have. remember how we were talking about music we heard as kids that gave us hints about adulthood? that was the 5th Dimension for me too, as well as Pet Clark& Dionne Warwick!
	5:34pm Martinibomb: My cat seems to like this song she ran up and got on the speaker when it started playing she's a 5th dimension kitty
	♥ 5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-D That makes me happy :-) Both stories make me happy :-)
	5:36pm Linda Lee: some of them really appreciate music! i had a kitty who like Saint Saens' violin work! would sit by the radio & listen, then walk away when it was over. she also hated electric guitar of a certain whining style. she'd hide under the sofa!
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well .... I talk about my dearly missed cat at the end of the show, funnily enough ;-)
	5:37pm Mr Fab: Been listening the whole time! had no idea that 'Worst That Could Happen' was a Jimmy Webb tune. I just assumed all his songs have some geography reference in the title.
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! How are you feeling? :-)
	5:37pm Linda Lee: aww. :-) i also had a black cat who liked James Brown. :-D
	♥ 5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Cleo hated me singing any and all Slade songs - she would jump up on my chest and just GLARE at me until I stopped! Didn't do it for anything else, just Slade. lol
	5:39pm Linda Lee: hahaha!!!
	5:40pm Linda Lee: do you know that groovy 60s tune about Cleo the Cat?
	♥ 5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do! :-)
	5:40pm Mr Fab: Much better, thanks! I had no idea there was any other MacArthur Park besides the LA one. Since it's so large, and it's right in the heart of LA, seemed obvious to me. And yes, Webb himself performed that very song in that very park a few years ago. No word on the green icing situation, however.
	♥ 5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My daughter and I used to sing (to the tune of Talking Head's "Psycho Killer") "Psycho Kitty" ;-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: hahaha!! a friend of mine had a very weird siamese at that time. she also got the 'psycho kitty' treatment. :-D
	♥ 5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am unashamedly and wholeheartedly a Glen Campbell fan :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: my dad was a big Glen Campbell fan. did you watch his variety show? he was really appealing, as a performer.
	5:44pm melinda: Did this come first or the Bobbie Gentry version?
	♥ 5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The other song we used to sing to her (to the tune of The Banana Boat Song) was "Cleo! Cle-e-eo! She's a kitty and she's got a big bum!" happy times :-)
	5:45pm Linda Lee: ahahaa! did she? :-D
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - yes! I loved that show! :-) @melinda - the Glen one, I think :-)
	5:45pm Martinibomb: love nancy wilson so good
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She certainly had a big belly from all the sneaked treats and stolen food. :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - gorgeous voice :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sneaked? Is that a word?
	5:47pm Dave in St Albans UK: Hi DJ Georgy Girl and LHT'rs! A sublime musical smorgasbord so far and I am absolutely sure that it will continue right through to the finale :-)
	♥ 5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Dave! :-)
	♥ 5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My throat's been a little weird today so I've been drinking as much herbal throat tea as possible ... Don't want to be croaking on the radio!
	5:52pm Linda Lee: good idea. lots of warm liquid. i found the Cleo song! Rene Hall, Specialty. youtu.be...
	♥ 5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's it! Rene Hall! I was trying to remember :-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: :-) fabulous record. i love it.
	5:57pm Linda Lee: of course it's 'sneaked ~ as in super intelligent & manipulative. :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: that's an astounding record. so what was the story with Jimmy Webb's introspective, heartbroken music?
	♥ 5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She was definitely that!
	♥ 5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think he just naturally had that kind of sensibility really. Not necessarily one of life's optimists :-)
	6:00pm Linda Lee: i do miss having a cat around. this is the longest i've gone in .. oh, .. 40 years without a kitty housemate!
	6:00pm Linda Lee: two track chat, sorry. :-D
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I found a quote from him that I was going to include and then promptly lost it, but it was something about melancholy being more interesting lyrically.
	6:00pm Linda Lee: he's right!
	♥ 6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: We lost Cleo around 7 and a half years ago, and every time we think about possibly getting a new fur person, we just can't :-(
	6:02pm Linda Lee: i understand, sure. there are so many who need homes, though. so very many.
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm sure we will eventually :-) Having fur people around is so much fun :-)
	♥ 6:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): howdee hey, GG & folx!
	6:05pm Linda Lee: it is! healthy for them & for us. do you know what song that was? 'breaking us in two'! joe jackson! :-)
	♥ 6:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Granny! Hello! :-)
	6:05pm Linda Lee: hey Granny! welcome to the best place in radio! :-)
	6:07pm Martinibomb: hey Gran
	6:08pm Linda Lee: i didn't know this All Stars track. it's fantastic.
	♥ 6:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just looked out the window at the half moon - and it looks like someone got a knife and went swoosh! And cut a perfect half off :-)
	♥ 6:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): hello, lookit all these lovely WFMU kin! Your greeting of choice (hug, high five, handshake, bow, etc): DJ GeorgyGirl, Linda Lee, Martinibomb, and any lurking folx. :D
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's wonderful, isn't it? :-) The hit was Glen Campbell but I thought I'd play this version :-)
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'll take a hug, thank you :-) <happy face>
	6:10pm Linda Lee: i'll take the secret gang sign. :-D
	♥ 6:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is that them Lespeeyuns again? ;-)
	♥ 6:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): LL: right ON!!!!
	6:11pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!!
	♥ 6:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): GG: heh
	6:12pm Linda Lee: yes, there's even a secret sign! :-D
	♥ 6:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can think of a million naughty things to say to that! lol!
	6:13pm Linda Lee: hahaha!! :-)
	6:13pm Linda Lee: me too.
	♥ 6:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena's getting saucy today! :-)
	6:14pm Linda Lee: it's the weekend.
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooof! I've just had to turn the heating off - my back's about a foot and a half away from the radiator. Melting!!!
	6:15pm Linda Lee: :-D
	6:15pm Linda Lee: don't melt GG! we need you! that was an introspective tune about the music biz, wasn't it! even though it was happy.
	6:16pm Mr Fab: Rock n roll! Martinibomb was just saying this morning during Danny's show that he used to see Paul Revere live a lot, lucky fella.
	♥ 6:16pm ParUbi: Hi guys!
	♥ 6:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I kind of hesitated about putting it in, just because it sounded so unlike both Jimmy Webb and Paul revere - but then I thought "Nah. that's what it makes it so interesting!" :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: did he? i only saw them in 'Tiger Beat' magazine!
	♥ 6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi ParUbi! :-)
	♥ 6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab and @MB - really??? I LOVED them when I was a kid!!! Super jealous now :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: we must stop meeting this way, ParUbi! :-D
	6:19pm Martinibomb: yes, I saw him a few times at the old county fair probably late 70s/early 80s. Pretty cool. Saw Johnny Cash once there too
	♥ 6:19pm ParUbi: heehee
	6:20pm Linda Lee: the county fair!! how great is that!
	♥ 6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Johnny Cash?? WOW. That must have been amazing :-)
	6:21pm Linda Lee: listen to those harmonies. delicious. i wonder if the Association ever recorded Jimmy Webb? their harmonies were beautiful too.
	6:21pm Martinibomb: yes probably mid-80s looking back it was cool I didn't really get who he was when I was 10 exactly
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - Yes they did! And it's coming up soon :-)
	6:22pm Linda Lee: really! great!
	6:23pm Linda Lee: ahhhhh Scott Walker! i just had the opportunity to introduce a friend to Scott Walker. i hope they get him!
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Scott Walker is like very VERY good aged wine or brandy. :-)
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also he's the gateway drug to Brel ;-)
	6:25pm Linda Lee: ha! sure!
	♥ 6:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The last two tracks of today's show are VERY long so if you need to make toast, or coffee, or anything like that ... lol
	♥ 6:26pm ParUbi: I came into his work through his weird, dark stuff, but I'm enjoying the older material too
	6:27pm Linda Lee: he really was just brilliant all round.
	6:29pm Linda Lee: interesting! bridging the gap between counterculture & establishment. bet that's why he was so successful, aside of his talent.
	6:30pm Linda Lee: this is the masterpiece, i think!
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I looooooooooooooooooooooove this song :-)
	♥ 6:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): this song now reminds me of Clay Pigeon, he loves it so much
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It';s the morse code in the strings :-)
	6:31pm Martinibomb: used to hear this in my dad's machine shop on the old transistor radio and all that reverb pretty cool
	♥ 6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's so beautiful and soaring and sad and personal all at the same time
	6:32pm Linda Lee: yes, yes. yes.
	6:32pm Mr Fab: Singin along. As i always do with this one.
	6:32pm Linda Lee: such a perfect picture. amazing literature.
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh, that was lovely :-)
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - same :-)
	♥ 6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Isn't there a Sammy Davis version of this??
	♥ 6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My brain just nudged me :-)
	♥ 6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: No wonder it sounded so familiar ;-)
	6:35pm Linda Lee: the Four Tops side?
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - just found it! :-)
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It was the line about "loving you better than your kin" when I was doing the playlist.
	♥ 6:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - head's up for the next song! :-)
	6:38pm Mr Fab: Had no idea about the Jimmy Webb/ Motown connection. Once again getting schooled by the Georgie girl College of musical knowledge.
	♥ 6:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: To be honest until I did the research for this show I had no idea that there was a separate songwriting division at Motown!:-)
	6:40pm Linda Lee: this is hilarious! i grew up with their music because my uncle managed them, but i don't remember this one at all!
	♥ 6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Only two tracks left ... sad face. But hopefully everyone's having a good time? :-)
	♥ 6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - I thought you'd like this :-)
	6:41pm Linda Lee: i do. :-)
	6:41pm Linda Lee: fabulous.
	6:42pm Linda Lee: gosh, i sat in on some recording sessions in the very early 70s.. did i possibly..?
	♥ 6:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You may very well have done! :-)
	6:43pm Linda Lee: thinking back, it's very possible!
	6:44pm spacebrother: Isaac Hayes! Just got home and am still setting up my show! How is everyone?
	6:44pm Linda Lee: hi Greg! :-) i'm always very happy at this time on Mondays.
	6:44pm Martinibomb: Hey lo Space bro!
	♥ 6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Greg!! :-)
	♥ 6:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You certainly get your money's worth with Isaac! :-)
	6:46pm spacebrother: Hey all! No time for discogs today. May have just artist and title.
	6:47pm Linda Lee: listen to the strings behind that voice. very nice.
	6:48pm Linda Lee: really nice arrangement. some string arrangements do put my teeth on edge, but this is good.
	♥ 6:48pm ParUbi: Looking forward to it, SpaceBrother!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you look up "smooth" in the dictionary, it's a picture of Isaac Hayes from "Black Moses" ;-)
	6:49pm Linda Lee: not 'hot buttered soul'? :-)
	♥ 6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooo, now - that's a good point :-)
	6:50pm Linda Lee: :-D
	♥ 6:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg here next! www.wfmu.org...
	6:51pm Linda Lee: always such a dynamite show, GG. thank you so much. ah my. here comes MacArthur Park!
	♥ 6:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-) Once again - I've had so much fun :-)
	6:51pm Linda Lee: Cleo's online? that's fantastic! where?
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - sadly, I can't remember :-( A friend put the video up and then we lost touch :-(
	6:52pm Linda Lee: that was a mighty strong reaction to a question, eh?
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love this song :-)
	♥ 6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is why I always thought it was about the park in SF!
	♥ 6:53pm ParUbi: These lyrics!
	♥ 6:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm so happy right now listening to this :-)
	6:54pm Linda Lee: just fantastic & over the top. such an enormous radio hit, though.
	6:54pm Martinibomb: "Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark All the dinosaurs are running wild Someone shut the fence off in the rain I admit it's kinda eerie But this proves my chaos theory And I don't think I'll be coming back again, oh no!" Weird Al
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - LOL!!!!! That's fabulous :-)
	6:55pm Linda Lee: sacrilege! :-)
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Anyone guessed next week? ;-)
	6:56pm Linda Lee: there were such strong visuals for a kid, true! a pastel green layer cake ..
	6:56pm spacebrother: Nice lead-in! See you on the flip side.
	♥ 6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The thought of a melting green cake tho ... still makes me feel a bit unsettled. lol
	6:57pm Linda Lee: i know. :-D
	♥ 6:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Next week's show is called ... "Rainbows, Swans & Rainy Days" :-)
	6:57pm Linda Lee: hm... who wrote 'rainy days & mondays'?
	6:57pm Martinibomb: Thanks GG!
	♥ 6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Huge hugs everyone!! :-) See you all in a bit :-)
	6:58pm Linda Lee: paul williams!! ?
	6:59pm spacebrother: Thank you, GG!
	6:59pm Linda Lee: i think i guessed it.

	5:28pm Linda Lee: a schnauzer! schnauzer! watch now: i'm about to find out i've been a jimmy webb fan all my life without knowing it. that's what your amazing shows do for me, GG!
	♥ 5:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I follow this chap on YouTube who's an art restorer in Chicago, and his videos are wonderful. Very calming but also very entertaining and absorbing :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: nice! who is he?
	♥ 5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm turning the world on to musical nooks and crannies! ;-)
	♥ 5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Julian Baumgartner :-)
	5:29pm Linda Lee: cool! i will look!
	♥ 5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here you go: www.youtube.com...
	5:31pm Linda Lee: thank you! who was that talking? not Webb, was it?
	♥ 5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - Jimmy Webb. Part of an interview from about 10 years ago or so :-)
	♥ 5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Maybe a bit more
	5:32pm Linda Lee: how great! Jimmy Webb talks about sweeping out the studio.
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: They really did start them at the bottom in those days! Last week we had Tony Hatch making the tea, and this week we have Jimmy Webb sweeping the studios :-)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: right! bottom up! the dues!
	♥ 5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: But ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - I love The 5th Dimension so much <3
	5:34pm Linda Lee: honey i do too. always have. remember how we were talking about music we heard as kids that gave us hints about adulthood? that was the 5th Dimension for me too, as well as Pet Clark& Dionne Warwick!
	5:34pm Martinibomb: My cat seems to like this song she ran up and got on the speaker when it started playing she's a 5th dimension kitty
	♥ 5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-D That makes me happy :-) Both stories make me happy :-)
	5:36pm Linda Lee: some of them really appreciate music! i had a kitty who like Saint Saens' violin work! would sit by the radio & listen, then walk away when it was over. she also hated electric guitar of a certain whining style. she'd hide under the sofa!
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Well .... I talk about my dearly missed cat at the end of the show, funnily enough ;-)
	5:37pm Mr Fab: Been listening the whole time! had no idea that 'Worst That Could Happen' was a Jimmy Webb tune. I just assumed all his songs have some geography reference in the title.
	♥ 5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! How are you feeling? :-)
	5:37pm Linda Lee: aww. :-) i also had a black cat who liked James Brown. :-D
	♥ 5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Cleo hated me singing any and all Slade songs - she would jump up on my chest and just GLARE at me until I stopped! Didn't do it for anything else, just Slade. lol
	5:39pm Linda Lee: hahaha!!!
	5:40pm Linda Lee: do you know that groovy 60s tune about Cleo the Cat?
	♥ 5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do! :-)
	5:40pm Mr Fab: Much better, thanks! I had no idea there was any other MacArthur Park besides the LA one. Since it's so large, and it's right in the heart of LA, seemed obvious to me. And yes, Webb himself performed that very song in that very park a few years ago. No word on the green icing situation, however.
	♥ 5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My daughter and I used to sing (to the tune of Talking Head's "Psycho Killer") "Psycho Kitty" ;-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: hahaha!! a friend of mine had a very weird siamese at that time. she also got the 'psycho kitty' treatment. :-D
	♥ 5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am unashamedly and wholeheartedly a Glen Campbell fan :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: my dad was a big Glen Campbell fan. did you watch his variety show? he was really appealing, as a performer.
	5:44pm melinda: Did this come first or the Bobbie Gentry version?
	♥ 5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The other song we used to sing to her (to the tune of The Banana Boat Song) was "Cleo! Cle-e-eo! She's a kitty and she's got a big bum!" happy times :-)
	5:45pm Linda Lee: ahahaa! did she? :-D
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - yes! I loved that show! :-) @melinda - the Glen one, I think :-)
	5:45pm Martinibomb: love nancy wilson so good
	♥ 5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She certainly had a big belly from all the sneaked treats and stolen food. :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - gorgeous voice :-)
	♥ 5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sneaked? Is that a word?
	5:47pm Dave in St Albans UK: Hi DJ Georgy Girl and LHT'rs! A sublime musical smorgasbord so far and I am absolutely sure that it will continue right through to the finale :-)
	♥ 5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Dave! :-)
	♥ 5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My throat's been a little weird today so I've been drinking as much herbal throat tea as possible ... Don't want to be croaking on the radio!
	5:52pm Linda Lee: good idea. lots of warm liquid. i found the Cleo song! Rene Hall, Specialty. youtu.be...
	♥ 5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's it! Rene Hall! I was trying to remember :-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: :-) fabulous record. i love it.
	5:57pm Linda Lee: of course it's 'sneaked ~ as in super intelligent & manipulative. :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: that's an astounding record. so what was the story with Jimmy Webb's introspective, heartbroken music?
	♥ 5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She was definitely that!
	♥ 5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think he just naturally had that kind of sensibility really. Not necessarily one of life's optimists :-)
	6:00pm Linda Lee: i do miss having a cat around. this is the longest i've gone in .. oh, .. 40 years without a kitty housemate!
	6:00pm Linda Lee: two track chat, sorry. :-D
	♥ 6:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I found a quote from him that I was going to include and then promptly lost it, but it was something about melancholy being more interesting lyrically.
	6:00pm Linda Lee: he's right!
	♥ 6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: We lost Cleo around 7 and a half years ago, and every time we think about possibly getting a new fur person, we just can't :-(
	6:02pm Linda Lee: i understand, sure. there are so many who need homes, though. so very many.
	♥ 6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm sure we will eventually :-) Having fur people around is so much fun :-)
	♥ 6:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): howdee hey, GG & folx!
	6:05pm Linda Lee: it is! healthy for them & for us. do you know what song that was? 'breaking us in two'! joe jackson! :-)
	♥ 6:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Granny! Hello! :-)
	6:05pm Linda Lee: hey Granny! welcome to the best place in radio! :-)
	6:07pm Martinibomb: hey Gran
	6:08pm Linda Lee: i didn't know this All Stars track. it's fantastic.
	♥ 6:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just looked out the window at the half moon - and it looks like someone got a knife and went swoosh! And cut a perfect half off :-)
	♥ 6:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): hello, lookit all these lovely WFMU kin! Your greeting of choice (hug, high five, handshake, bow, etc): DJ GeorgyGirl, Linda Lee, Martinibomb, and any lurking folx. :D
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's wonderful, isn't it? :-) The hit was Glen Campbell but I thought I'd play this version :-)
	♥ 6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'll take a hug, thank you :-) <happy face>
	6:10pm Linda Lee: i'll take the secret gang sign. :-D
	♥ 6:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Is that them Lespeeyuns again? ;-)
	♥ 6:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): LL: right ON!!!!
	6:11pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!!
	♥ 6:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): GG: heh
	6:12pm Linda Lee: yes, there's even a secret sign! :-D
	♥ 6:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can think of a million naughty things to say to that! lol!
	6:13pm Linda Lee: hahaha!! :-)
	6:13pm Linda Lee: me too.
	♥ 6:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena's getting saucy today! :-)
	6:14pm Linda Lee: it's the weekend.
	♥ 6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooof! I've just had to turn the heating off - my back's about a foot and a half away from the radiator. Melting!!!
	6:15pm Linda Lee: :-D
	6:15pm Linda Lee: don't melt GG! we need you! that was an introspective tune about the music biz, wasn't it! even though it was happy.
	6:16pm Mr Fab: Rock n roll! Martinibomb was just saying this morning during Danny's show that he used to see Paul Revere live a lot, lucky fella.
	♥ 6:16pm ParUbi: Hi guys!
	♥ 6:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I kind of hesitated about putting it in, just because it sounded so unlike both Jimmy Webb and Paul revere - but then I thought "Nah. that's what it makes it so interesting!" :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: did he? i only saw them in 'Tiger Beat' magazine!
	♥ 6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi ParUbi! :-)
	♥ 6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab and @MB - really??? I LOVED them when I was a kid!!! Super jealous now :-)
	6:17pm Linda Lee: we must stop meeting this way, ParUbi! :-D
	6:19pm Martinibomb: yes, I saw him a few times at the old county fair probably late 70s/early 80s. Pretty cool. Saw Johnny Cash once there too
	♥ 6:19pm ParUbi: heehee
	6:20pm Linda Lee: the county fair!! how great is that!
	♥ 6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Johnny Cash?? WOW. That must have been amazing :-)
	6:21pm Linda Lee: listen to those harmonies. delicious. i wonder if the Association ever recorded Jimmy Webb? their harmonies were beautiful too.
	6:21pm Martinibomb: yes probably mid-80s looking back it was cool I didn't really get who he was when I was 10 exactly
	♥ 6:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - Yes they did! And it's coming up soon :-)
	6:22pm Linda Lee: really! great!
	6:23pm Linda Lee: ahhhhh Scott Walker! i just had the opportunity to introduce a friend to Scott Walker. i hope they get him!
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Scott Walker is like very VERY good aged wine or brandy. :-)
	♥ 6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also he's the gateway drug to Brel ;-)
	6:25pm Linda Lee: ha! sure!
	♥ 6:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The last two tracks of today's show are VERY long so if you need to make toast, or coffee, or anything like that ... lol
	♥ 6:26pm ParUbi: I came into his work through his weird, dark stuff, but I'm enjoying the older material too
	6:27pm Linda Lee: he really was just brilliant all round.
	6:29pm Linda Lee: interesting! bridging the gap between counterculture & establishment. bet that's why he was so successful, aside of his talent.
	6:30pm Linda Lee: this is the masterpiece, i think!
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I looooooooooooooooooooooove this song :-)
	♥ 6:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): this song now reminds me of Clay Pigeon, he loves it so much
	♥ 6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It';s the morse code in the strings :-)
	6:31pm Martinibomb: used to hear this in my dad's machine shop on the old transistor radio and all that reverb pretty cool
	♥ 6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's so beautiful and soaring and sad and personal all at the same time
	6:32pm Linda Lee: yes, yes. yes.
	6:32pm Mr Fab: Singin along. As i always do with this one.
	6:32pm Linda Lee: such a perfect picture. amazing literature.
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh, that was lovely :-)
	♥ 6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - same :-)
	♥ 6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Isn't there a Sammy Davis version of this??
	♥ 6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My brain just nudged me :-)
	♥ 6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: No wonder it sounded so familiar ;-)
	6:35pm Linda Lee: the Four Tops side?
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - just found it! :-)
	♥ 6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It was the line about "loving you better than your kin" when I was doing the playlist.
	♥ 6:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - head's up for the next song! :-)
	6:38pm Mr Fab: Had no idea about the Jimmy Webb/ Motown connection. Once again getting schooled by the Georgie girl College of musical knowledge.
	♥ 6:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: To be honest until I did the research for this show I had no idea that there was a separate songwriting division at Motown!:-)
	6:40pm Linda Lee: this is hilarious! i grew up with their music because my uncle managed them, but i don't remember this one at all!
	♥ 6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Only two tracks left ... sad face. But hopefully everyone's having a good time? :-)
	♥ 6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - I thought you'd like this :-)
	6:41pm Linda Lee: i do. :-)
	6:41pm Linda Lee: fabulous.
	6:42pm Linda Lee: gosh, i sat in on some recording sessions in the very early 70s.. did i possibly..?
	♥ 6:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You may very well have done! :-)
	6:43pm Linda Lee: thinking back, it's very possible!
	6:44pm spacebrother: Isaac Hayes! Just got home and am still setting up my show! How is everyone?
	6:44pm Linda Lee: hi Greg! :-) i'm always very happy at this time on Mondays.
	6:44pm Martinibomb: Hey lo Space bro!
	♥ 6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Greg!! :-)
	♥ 6:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You certainly get your money's worth with Isaac! :-)
	6:46pm spacebrother: Hey all! No time for discogs today. May have just artist and title.
	6:47pm Linda Lee: listen to the strings behind that voice. very nice.
	6:48pm Linda Lee: really nice arrangement. some string arrangements do put my teeth on edge, but this is good.
	♥ 6:48pm ParUbi: Looking forward to it, SpaceBrother!
	♥ 6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you look up "smooth" in the dictionary, it's a picture of Isaac Hayes from "Black Moses" ;-)
	6:49pm Linda Lee: not 'hot buttered soul'? :-)
	♥ 6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ooo, now - that's a good point :-)
	6:50pm Linda Lee: :-D
	♥ 6:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg here next! www.wfmu.org...
	6:51pm Linda Lee: always such a dynamite show, GG. thank you so much. ah my. here comes MacArthur Park!
	♥ 6:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you :-) Once again - I've had so much fun :-)
	6:51pm Linda Lee: Cleo's online? that's fantastic! where?
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @LL - sadly, I can't remember :-( A friend put the video up and then we lost touch :-(
	6:52pm Linda Lee: that was a mighty strong reaction to a question, eh?
	♥ 6:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love this song :-)
	♥ 6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is why I always thought it was about the park in SF!
	♥ 6:53pm ParUbi: These lyrics!
	♥ 6:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm so happy right now listening to this :-)
	6:54pm Linda Lee: just fantastic & over the top. such an enormous radio hit, though.
	6:54pm Martinibomb: "Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark All the dinosaurs are running wild Someone shut the fence off in the rain I admit it's kinda eerie But this proves my chaos theory And I don't think I'll be coming back again, oh no!" Weird Al
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - LOL!!!!! That's fabulous :-)
	6:55pm Linda Lee: sacrilege! :-)
	♥ 6:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Anyone guessed next week? ;-)
	6:56pm Linda Lee: there were such strong visuals for a kid, true! a pastel green layer cake ..
	6:56pm spacebrother: Nice lead-in! See you on the flip side.
	♥ 6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The thought of a melting green cake tho ... still makes me feel a bit unsettled. lol
	6:57pm Linda Lee: i know. :-D
	♥ 6:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Next week's show is called ... "Rainbows, Swans & Rainy Days" :-)
	6:57pm Linda Lee: hm... who wrote 'rainy days & mondays'?
