	6:35am upstate sean: Hey Carol, I missed the first part, but now I see. Very sorry to hear about your brother's passing. Something tells me this will be more celebratory than sorrowful, though. Sounds like an amazing family you grew up in. :)
	6:35am suzzo: Bill - Great to hear your comments. We never cleaned the bedroom because we would have lost track of where everything was!!
	6:35am Liz: Lisa you know it was all about the music and the food

	6:37am lisa: I always thought your parents were so amazing to help set Tom up by converting your garage into his first music studio. They really believed in his talent. That's something special.
	6:37am John Bastianelli: I forgot how great this record was, my sister listened to it until she wore it out!
	6:37am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo Hey Steve. You're making me smile! I'm thinking about that carpet--or maybe it was just a carpet pad?
	6:37am Mike Hogan: i am trying to post more, but keep failing the Math questions!
	6:38am Stanley: Carol - so sorry for your loss. It must be heartbreaking. He sounds like an amazing man and it's so nice to have his friends and family here this morning.
	6:38am suzzo: It was orange indoor-outdoor carpet with a lot of beer stains. All the more reason to not have to look at it
	6:38am lisa: Liz, why do you think your house was the go to hang? We were always at your house :)

	6:43am John Bastianelli: @Wilmot, do you remember Mr. Roach's "The Sentence"?
	6:45am CarolCrow: Hey All - If you are liking a track on the playlist, click on the star in the track title - it lets me know you like it! THANK YOU!

	6:56am suzzo: We ran it in high rotation on Mtv for a very long time. But few people even remember it.
	6:56am MikeLorello: @John I remember
	6:57am John Bastianelli: @Steve, Tom didn't even learn anything about baseball either... hahahah
	6:58am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Carol Crow! Hi friends!
	6:58am Lisa J B: Good Morning Carol, I’m late but here. So glad you put this together.
	6:58am Wilmot: @suzzo That was beautiful.
	7:00am suzzo: He took lessons from Stanley Clark too!
	7:01am UncleMarty: Condolences to you & your family. Carol, your show archives have helped pull me through my encounter with the bug. Thanks
	🌜 7:01am Nulsh: BOOOOOOOOOODZ!!! We're celebrating Carol's brother Tom, who sadly passed away. He sounds like an amazing character!

	7:05am Elaine: @ Carol 6:22: 'regular listener' here and appreciate the chance to listen in on these wonderful memories and music. Sincere condolences to you and all the friends and family.
	7:05am John Bastianelli: @I know I had a stupid haircut very 80s, shaved on the side and long on top...
	7:05am Mike Hogan: Heaving On a Jet Plane. The Emulator II
	7:06am John Bastianelli: @Wilmot can't type this early, I'm still in bed
	🌜 7:06am Nulsh: Hey Jeffrey!

	7:07am Pablexa™: Ima giggling
	7:07am John Bastianelli: @Carol, I was so mad at Tom he didn't get the autograph with it personalized.. or write something cool.
	7:08am David in London: @John Bastianelli, man, let any of us who didn’t have a shocking 80s haircut throw the first stone... Hey TDK.
	🌜 7:08am Nulsh: Carol, you still got the autograph?
	7:09am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning David in London! Hi Nuuulssh!
	🌜 7:10am Baja Joe: My condolences to you and your family Carol.
	7:10am Ignatatus666: Sputnik was a real band? I thought it was just a studio creation
	7:13am lisafair1: I had always heard about that song they wrote for the Howard Stern contest (I'm Heaving on a Jet Plane), but never got to hear it! Wow..too funny!
	7:13am John Bastianelli: @Ignatatus66 - it was, Gorgio Moroder - creation but they had to punks from the east side of London that were the face, they were at this Mexican Restaurant, I think they got tipped off we were going to be there, so they showed up and were heckling Dee Synder who was sitting in with the band singing Johnny Be Good. That's how the fight started. one of the guys threw the chip bowl at Dee and hit him...
	7:14am John Bastianelli: @Carol, this record was Tom's first big mix that launched his career - it was for the producer team - Liggett and Barbosa.
	7:16am John Bastianelli: Great you got Mark to say something... Mark left the part out that he used to take all our publishing... hahaha - @mike Lorello you know what I'm talking about...
	7:16am Ignatatus666: @John B that’s hilarious as Dee is no light weight!! Unfortunately the Pinks and Skins dom that area carried knives and used broken bottles when they got down. Glad it didn’t get to that.
	7:16am lisafair1: I have to say, the Uzzo Household was one of the most welcoming I've ever been to - to all of the Uzzo siblings - Katie, Steve, Liz, Emily and of course, Carol...please know I send my love to you all at the loss of your very talented brother, Tom.
	7:17am Ignatatus666: Thank you spellcheck for destroying thoughts one comment at a time
	7:18am suzzo: Tom used to drink so much coffee it actually affected his vision. He affectionately called it "The Fog"
	7:18am David Sky Brody: @Carol Thanks for bringing the Entire Extended Family together!
	7:18am Mike Hogan: found out that Mt Dew had more caffeine than coca cola at Mirror Image
	7:18am Emily: I never got to share a memory about music and Tom, but one very vivid memory was we were driving in the car just him and me and the song, September came on the radio and Tom said, "Can you imagine a world without Earth, Wind and Fire? That would be horrible" To this day every time I hear that song I think of Tom.
	7:19am Doris from Droitwich: Carol, condolences from Tony & me. Thanks for sharing stories of his antics with all of us today❤️
	7:20am Mike Hogan: Do you have the Remix of U Turn Carol?
	7:20am CarolCrow: Hello All - sorry I am not saying hello to everyone, but thank you SO MUCH for being here (and hear) this morning! It is so good to have everyone - my radio friends and extended family - here:) Thank you
	🌜 7:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Carol and family family. Sorry to hear the news about your dear brother. Can I bring over a hot dish or something to you?
	7:21am suzzo: RE: The Stern thing: Quality only to be rivaled by "Do the Vacuum Cleaner" (it was never clear exactly what you were supposed to with it), or the "Doormat Song" (Was it banned by the ASPCA?)
	7:22am TDK60: My sympathies to you Carol.
	7:23am John Bastianelli: @suzzo, WLIR played i'm not your doormat... the dog lived in the song, we saved it from the microwave... ;) remember the video...
	7:24am suzzo: I remember getting in trouble dulling the drum kit for the shoot.
	7:26am suzzo: Tom did a cameo as the wrecker truck driver.
	7:28am Emily: OMG! I love this song!
	7:28am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo @John B they used my Porsche for the video shoot. The moron actor nearly wrecked it. Tom and John were like, "We're so sorry man..."
	7:29am John Bastianelli: That's right, the director was this looser guy out of NYU film school, didn't know what he was doing... We gave him. such a hard time. HAHAHAHA that's right Wilmot, the dude almost trashed your car.
	7:31am John from NP: @CarolCrow this is pretty epic, it's pretty cool to see both families converge (although under sad circumstances)
	7:31am Mike Hogan: This mix holds up no matter what you hear it on, or where you hear it. I've heard in coliseums on boom boxes, in clubs on the radio.....who remembers the Dbx unit that pulled it all together?
	7:31am suzzo: The guy was a freak and in way over his head. I remember the lighting guy asking him to get him an electrician to help him in the studio and the guy was even more useless. His comment was "I ask for a gaffer and he gives me Charlie Manson"
	7:31am John Bastianelli: @Mikey, this is a great record!
	7:32am Mike Hogan: K7 Come Bay Come
	7:32am MikeLorello: @Mike H I do!
	7:33am Doug in JC: Trivia: The video for K7 "Come Baby Come!" was shot in Downtown Jersey City
	7:33am Listener Robert: Mike Hogan, are you the Michael L. Hogan I know from WTFDA and CADXC?
	7:33am MikeLorello: Thanks Johnny
	7:34am Mike Hogan: I think I still have it. Great job you guys did on that one. Joey Gardiner producing?
	7:34am Doug in JC: In fact, some of it is on Montgomery Street, a few blocks from WFMU HQ
	7:34am MikeLorello: Yup...Joey
	7:34am Mike Hogan: sorry not me Robert
	7:35am Ignatatus666: The production on these recordings were commercial program directors bliss. They needed zero tweaking before or during airplay.
	7:40am dale: good morning. growing up in western new york, following the snow plow was a common occurrence.
	7:42am Wilmot (Bill Harts): Way before the Civic, Tom had an Opel Kadet wagon. Although it was ostensibly a wagon, it was the size of a pea. He used it for club dates, somehow managed to squeeze his string bass into it. The classic story is that he once went to pick up Gina for a date and she couldn't fit in the car with the bass, so he had to take it out and leave it at her house.
	7:43am Mike Hogan: gotta get to the Gig!
	7:43am MikeLorello: Tim Lawless on backing vox
	7:44am John Bastianelli: @Wimot, Tom TOm TOM! Where the hell is your car? when he left it there and got a ride home one night..
	7:44am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	7:44am John Bastianelli: @MikeL - that's right Timmy on B/V
	7:45am suzzo: I inherited the Opel. It was my first car. I blew the engine going up to the Adirondacks when the dipstick fell out and the oil all drained out of the car.
	7:46am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @John "Man, I don't know. I think there's something wrong with the thermostangle..."
	7:46am CarolCrow: Good morning dale, Ignatatus, Doug in JC, Listener Robert, TDK60, Ken From Hyde Park, Doris from Droitwich, Emily, David Sky Brody, lisafair, Baja Joe, Buddha of Suburbia, Elaine, Jeffrey Davison, John from NP, Lisa J B,
	7:46am suzzo: I'll say! Canary yellow. What a color.
	7:47am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo I hope you shot it through the engine to put it out of its misery.
	7:49am Phillippe Bastille: Carol, sorry to hear about your brother. My condolences to you and your family
	7:49am suzzo: Didn't have to it committed hara kiri on the Cross Island Parkway
	7:50am Mike Hogan: YO
	7:53am Mike Hogan: Overdubs in Studio C Manhattan, I think he mixed this in Studio D
	7:54am Listener Robert: Suzzo, I'm sure the loss of the oil was not caused by the blowing out of the dipstick. Rather, the engine blew a gasket and blew out the dipstick along with the oil, I'm sure. A dipstick doesn't hold back pressure.
	7:54am suzzo: Oh, right. it used to overheat all the time too.
	🌜 7:56am Brian in UK: Guessing that Tommy knew WFMU's Monica Lynch from her days at Tommy Boy.
	7:57am Guido from Cologne: Condolences! I'm so sorry!
	7:57am Liz: OMG Karen Young
	7:57am Phillippe Bastille: Tommy was a NASCAR fan, my kind of guy. Go #12 YRB
	7:58am John Bastianelli: @Mike Hogan, that was beautiful, thanks for those words!
	7:58am David Sky Brody: Hey y'all. @Carol suggested I post this here in the comments, though it's a bit of a LONG READ: The Uzzo Family Studio and the Couch of Eternal Slumber When it came time for Tommy to renovate the garage studio in Dix Hills, I was privileged to be his co-designer and “guy with the soldering iron.” Tom’s dad Tony, a legendary electrical engineer and scientist with Space Program cred, insisted upon an arcane and perfect and uncommon wire cable type and grounding scheme that had the local electrician – and me – scratching our heads. It would prove to be the essential foundation of the beautiful, powerful sounds that came out of that room for years after. That a large Long Island family would open their home (and especially their kitchen) to us – the great unwashed masses of musicians, sound-people and their various girlfriends, boyfriends and squeezes that would eventually flow through that place – was unique and amazing. All us studio rats would come to know Tom’s sisters, brother and most particularly Mama Bea, the calm, unflappable matriarch. To renovate the studio, Tom directed us to gut the garage down to the frame, flipping what had been the “control room” and “studio.” I was an acoustics freak and convinced him to let me execute a wasp-waisted room plan with very few parallel surfaces, to run all cabling through troughs in the floor, and then to fill that floor with sand. That place was built by the loving flavor of many friends – in some ways a jazz-hippie barn-raising straight out of the Whole Earth Catalog. We would find tasks that fit anybody who walked through the door. Nobody asked for money; that wasn’t the point. We would all be more than compensated for out time later on. Tom insisted one feature of the original studio had to stay: a fat, heavy, overstuffed couch. I think it had come down from the family house and was simply too massive to consider lifting back up and in. Now, my acoustic design had one major shortcoming: Low frequencies – especially prevalent in the hip-hop genre that would come to define Mirror Image Recorders – tend to pile up in the right angles between walls and floors, compromising the accuracy of what musicians and engineers are hearing. And I hadn’t yet figured out a way to build enough low-frequency absorption with stealing too much area from that already tight working interior space. That couch provided the answer. Situating it at the back of the room, it became a near perfect “bass trap.” And the super-sofa had one other unique feature: It was so comfortable, it was impossible to sit on it for more than 15 minutes without falling fast asleep, no matter how loud the studio monitors were blaring. We, therefore, dubbed it “The Couch of Eternal Slumber.” Lord knows how many of us slept on it over the years. Tommy was nothing if not practical, in his choice of equipment, musical motifs or girlfriends. Through that studio-build experience, he taught me one of the most useful life lessons: Never let the quest for the “flawless” outweigh the true demands of the here and now. In other words: “Don’t let ‘Perfection’ become the enemy of the ‘Good Enough.’” As he once said to me: “Man, like I only fear that like, man, look at me. I’m a fat piece of shit. And yet I get laid all the time!” That was how he approached every mix: There’s an infinite number of ways this can go. He never fell victim to the paralysis of indecision. Narrow your choices and live with the consequences. That was one of Tom’s many gifts to us. I guess “Eternal Slumber” has a new meaning now for Tommy. But he lives just as vibrantly as ever in your mind and mine; and in the sounds he left for us – and others – to enjoy and ponder forever. – Dave Brody

	8:14am Emily: Thank you to everyone sharing your stories. Because Tom worked ALL the time, you guys spent more time with him than we did, so it's nice to hear about that side of his life.

	8:36am Mike Hogan: Kurt Stankus keep up the good fight brother
	8:37am David Sky Brody: @Brian in UK: for real, guv'!
	8:37am Listener Robert: Oof, that's a sad medical story on its face, suzzo. I've known, or known of, people who were ostensibly healthy OR who actually beat some more common illnesses, only to be hit out of the blue by something totally rare, or rare under the circumstances.
	8:38am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Tom Brechtlein We always had so much fun hanging in Carle Place, Tommy, you John B and me. Thomas' Ham n Eggery.

	8:41am CarolCrow: Hello to everyone I haven't gotten a chance to say hello to. Thank you all for everyone for being here!
	8:41am Mike Hogan: This song by The green eyed bandit Erick Sermon. Amazing. Marvin's family wouldn't allow his voice to be sampled. so erick arranged for the original 2" tape to be sent from Cali. Jimmy Iovine wouldn't send it, HE BROUGHT IT HIMSELF On A PLANE directly to studio D

	8:45am suzzo: Thanks all for the memories of the 8-track/16-track days. I used to do all his repairs in those days. But remember that we went up to Buffalo to look at an MCI recorder and took the most harrowing plane ride back on People's Express. I will never forget it.
	8:45am John Bastianelli: @Carol, thanks for this we all needed this I spent my entire Saturday going through old photos and reminiscing about your brother and your family and how much fun we all had, I'll miss Tom as we all will...
	8:45am lisafair1: Carol, John, Mike...all who helped...this has been a wonderful tribute...I am really enjoying listening to all the music and great stories. Thank you.
	8:46am MikeLorello: I spent 13 hours timing up Michael Jackson!
	🌜 8:46am Brian in UK: Carol, thank you for sharing this with your radio family. He sounded like someone we could all do with in our lives.

	8:50am Emily: Thanks, Carol for putting this together. I can picture Tom rocking in his chair like he always did to all this music. He broke many a chair doing that, including the one in his car. He was an amazing man. Mike H I loved the story you told us last Sunday when he named his dog Mikey after you and he said "It had to be done"
	8:50am MikeLorello: @JB Happy times
	🌜 8:51am Nulsh: Thank you Carol. What a wonderful tribute to yer' bro. Nice one. I really enjoyed all the stories. See you next week! Bye amigos!
	8:51am John Bastianelli: I brought Troy to Tommy, he was working at this other studio I was at and the owner was not a nice person and he was miserable - Tommy like many people took him under his wing and helped launch his career.
	8:51am Baja Joe: This “Billy Jean” mash-up has an Electronic (Sumner and Marr’s collaboration) vibe. You rarely hear Electronic on the radio. Always puzzled me. All of their albums were excellent. I wonder if Tommy worked with Electronic.
	8:52am suzzo: Em - The black Granada with the red interior, his Disco period vehicle of choice
	8:52am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Carol: Thanks so much for producing this. It was an honor to record a few things about Tom and I'm glad you were able to use some. And seeing people here that I've known through the years through Tom has been a joy. But no one would doubt that we'd all come together even virtually for Tom. I hope we can all see each other in real life soon!
	8:52am Lisa J B: So glad you you put this together. A wonderful tribute and celebration off a creative life.
	8:53am suzzo: Carol - This has been amazing. Thank you, thank you thank you! <3

	8:53am Pablexa™: Thanks Carol - Sorry for your loss
	8:53am adampsyche: thank you Carol for sharing (scrolling back)
	8:54am Mike Hogan: Troy had a gold record with ONYX those bad people at the studio Troy worked at then were trying to kick him to the curb and garner the accolades for themselves. Good on you JB
	8:54am suzzo: Bill - The beer smell was to mask other smells!
	8:54am Emily: Tom used to pay me 10 dollars a week to clean it. Guess it didn't help much
	8:54am David Sky Brody: Uzzo Family: Thank you for letting us into your hearts. All those years ago. And now.

	11:11am Ron Smith: Tommy was an original, often an over used phrase. In Tommys case this was true! I miss him!

	6:23am John Bastianelli: You had tee shirts and gave Tom and Me one that said: "programmers do it by memory" Remember Bill?

	6:35am upstate sean: Hey Carol, I missed the first part, but now I see. Very sorry to hear about your brother's passing. Something tells me this will be more celebratory than sorrowful, though. Sounds like an amazing family you grew up in. :)
	6:35am suzzo: Bill - Great to hear your comments. We never cleaned the bedroom because we would have lost track of where everything was!!
	6:35am Liz: Lisa you know it was all about the music and the food

	6:37am lisa: I always thought your parents were so amazing to help set Tom up by converting your garage into his first music studio. They really believed in his talent. That's something special.
	6:37am John Bastianelli: I forgot how great this record was, my sister listened to it until she wore it out!
	6:37am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo Hey Steve. You're making me smile! I'm thinking about that carpet--or maybe it was just a carpet pad?
	6:37am Mike Hogan: i am trying to post more, but keep failing the Math questions!
	6:38am Stanley: Carol - so sorry for your loss. It must be heartbreaking. He sounds like an amazing man and it's so nice to have his friends and family here this morning.
	6:38am suzzo: It was orange indoor-outdoor carpet with a lot of beer stains. All the more reason to not have to look at it
	6:38am lisa: Liz, why do you think your house was the go to hang? We were always at your house :)
	🌜 6:39am 12539: (O how I wish you had a tape of this on tuba!)

	6:42am Liz: @Lisa I think it was it was all about the people! My parents loved having everyone around and of course the endless supply of food lol
	6:43am John Bastianelli: @Wilmot, do you remember Mr. Roach's "The Sentence"?
	6:45am CarolCrow: Hey All - If you are liking a track on the playlist, click on the star in the track title - it lets me know you like it! THANK YOU!

	6:54am suzzo: Premiered on Mtv. I remember running it and remembering Tom blasting it from the studio. It was his favored departing comment
	6:54am suzzo: He would also sing it in the car!
	6:54am Pablexa™: Howdy Nulsh, David and that prick JB
	6:54am Wilmot: @suzzo Right!
	6:55am John Bastianelli: this record was produced by David Foster - before he got all sappy - we studied the production techniques on this record and learned a lot - Mikey too - remember!
	6:55am Emily: Hi Carol, will a playlist of the songs you played be posted after this ends?
	6:56am suzzo: We ran it in high rotation on Mtv for a very long time. But few people even remember it.
	6:56am MikeLorello: @John I remember
	6:57am John Bastianelli: @Steve, Tom didn't even learn anything about baseball either... hahahah
	6:58am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Carol Crow! Hi friends!
	6:58am Lisa J B: Good Morning Carol, I’m late but here. So glad you put this together.
	6:58am Wilmot: @suzzo That was beautiful.
	7:00am suzzo: He took lessons from Stanley Clark too!
	7:01am UncleMarty: Condolences to you & your family. Carol, your show archives have helped pull me through my encounter with the bug. Thanks
	🌜 7:01am Nulsh: BOOOOOOOOOODZ!!! We're celebrating Carol's brother Tom, who sadly passed away. He sounds like an amazing character!
	7:02am Pablexa™: Is this Pat Benatar & Ritchie?
	7:02am Wilmot: For all you regular listeners, Carol's brother Tom was the most fantastic friend anyone ever had. We miss him so much...
	7:02am Doug in JC: Good morning everyone. Sorry for your loss, Carol. This is a nice tribute
	7:02am David in London: Hi Buddha.

	7:04am John from NP: Pabs u jackass!
	7:04am Liz: How did you find this?
	7:04am Jeffrey Davison: When I first tuned in, I thought that you had a fill-in. Nice tribute, and great music. My condolences.
	7:04am Wilmot: @johnnyIce I forgot he ragged on your hair!
	7:05am Elaine: @ Carol 6:22: 'regular listener' here and appreciate the chance to listen in on these wonderful memories and music. Sincere condolences to you and all the friends and family.
	7:05am John Bastianelli: @I know I had a stupid haircut very 80s, shaved on the side and long on top...
	7:05am Mike Hogan: Heaving On a Jet Plane. The Emulator II
	7:06am John Bastianelli: @Wilmot can't type this early, I'm still in bed

	7:07am Pablexa™: Ima giggling
	7:07am John Bastianelli: @Carol, I was so mad at Tom he didn't get the autograph with it personalized.. or write something cool.
	7:08am David in London: @John Bastianelli, man, let any of us who didn’t have a shocking 80s haircut throw the first stone... Hey TDK.
	🌜 7:08am Nulsh: Carol, you still got the autograph?
	7:09am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning David in London! Hi Nuuulssh!
	🌜 7:10am Baja Joe: My condolences to you and your family Carol.
	7:10am Ignatatus666: Sputnik was a real band? I thought it was just a studio creation
	7:13am lisafair1: I had always heard about that song they wrote for the Howard Stern contest (I'm Heaving on a Jet Plane), but never got to hear it! Wow..too funny!
	7:13am John Bastianelli: @Ignatatus66 - it was, Gorgio Moroder - creation but they had to punks from the east side of London that were the face, they were at this Mexican Restaurant, I think they got tipped off we were going to be there, so they showed up and were heckling Dee Synder who was sitting in with the band singing Johnny Be Good. That's how the fight started. one of the guys threw the chip bowl at Dee and hit him...
	7:14am John Bastianelli: @Carol, this record was Tom's first big mix that launched his career - it was for the producer team - Liggett and Barbosa.
	7:16am John Bastianelli: Great you got Mark to say something... Mark left the part out that he used to take all our publishing... hahaha - @mike Lorello you know what I'm talking about...
	7:16am Ignatatus666: @John B that’s hilarious as Dee is no light weight!! Unfortunately the Pinks and Skins dom that area carried knives and used broken bottles when they got down. Glad it didn’t get to that.
	7:16am lisafair1: I have to say, the Uzzo Household was one of the most welcoming I've ever been to - to all of the Uzzo siblings - Katie, Steve, Liz, Emily and of course, Carol...please know I send my love to you all at the loss of your very talented brother, Tom.
	7:17am Ignatatus666: Thank you spellcheck for destroying thoughts one comment at a time
	7:18am suzzo: Tom used to drink so much coffee it actually affected his vision. He affectionately called it "The Fog"
	7:18am David Sky Brody: @Carol Thanks for bringing the Entire Extended Family together!
	7:18am Mike Hogan: found out that Mt Dew had more caffeine than coca cola at Mirror Image
	7:18am Emily: I never got to share a memory about music and Tom, but one very vivid memory was we were driving in the car just him and me and the song, September came on the radio and Tom said, "Can you imagine a world without Earth, Wind and Fire? That would be horrible" To this day every time I hear that song I think of Tom.
	7:19am Doris from Droitwich: Carol, condolences from Tony & me. Thanks for sharing stories of his antics with all of us today❤️
	7:20am Mike Hogan: Do you have the Remix of U Turn Carol?
	7:20am CarolCrow: Hello All - sorry I am not saying hello to everyone, but thank you SO MUCH for being here (and hear) this morning! It is so good to have everyone - my radio friends and extended family - here:) Thank you
	🌜 7:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Carol and family family. Sorry to hear the news about your dear brother. Can I bring over a hot dish or something to you?
	7:21am suzzo: RE: The Stern thing: Quality only to be rivaled by "Do the Vacuum Cleaner" (it was never clear exactly what you were supposed to with it), or the "Doormat Song" (Was it banned by the ASPCA?)
	7:22am TDK60: My sympathies to you Carol.
	7:23am John Bastianelli: @suzzo, WLIR played i'm not your doormat... the dog lived in the song, we saved it from the microwave... ;) remember the video...
	7:24am suzzo: I remember getting in trouble dulling the drum kit for the shoot.
	7:26am suzzo: Tom did a cameo as the wrecker truck driver.
	7:28am Emily: OMG! I love this song!
	7:28am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo @John B they used my Porsche for the video shoot. The moron actor nearly wrecked it. Tom and John were like, "We're so sorry man..."
	7:29am John Bastianelli: That's right, the director was this looser guy out of NYU film school, didn't know what he was doing... We gave him. such a hard time. HAHAHAHA that's right Wilmot, the dude almost trashed your car.
	7:31am John from NP: @CarolCrow this is pretty epic, it's pretty cool to see both families converge (although under sad circumstances)
	7:31am Mike Hogan: This mix holds up no matter what you hear it on, or where you hear it. I've heard in coliseums on boom boxes, in clubs on the radio.....who remembers the Dbx unit that pulled it all together?
	7:31am suzzo: The guy was a freak and in way over his head. I remember the lighting guy asking him to get him an electrician to help him in the studio and the guy was even more useless. His comment was "I ask for a gaffer and he gives me Charlie Manson"
	7:31am John Bastianelli: @Mikey, this is a great record!
	7:32am Mike Hogan: K7 Come Bay Come
	7:32am MikeLorello: @Mike H I do!
	7:33am Doug in JC: Trivia: The video for K7 "Come Baby Come!" was shot in Downtown Jersey City
	7:33am Listener Robert: Mike Hogan, are you the Michael L. Hogan I know from WTFDA and CADXC?
	7:33am MikeLorello: Thanks Johnny
	7:34am Mike Hogan: I think I still have it. Great job you guys did on that one. Joey Gardiner producing?
	7:34am Doug in JC: In fact, some of it is on Montgomery Street, a few blocks from WFMU HQ
	7:34am MikeLorello: Yup...Joey
	7:34am Mike Hogan: sorry not me Robert
	7:35am Ignatatus666: The production on these recordings were commercial program directors bliss. They needed zero tweaking before or during airplay.
	7:40am dale: good morning. growing up in western new york, following the snow plow was a common occurrence.
	7:42am Wilmot (Bill Harts): Way before the Civic, Tom had an Opel Kadet wagon. Although it was ostensibly a wagon, it was the size of a pea. He used it for club dates, somehow managed to squeeze his string bass into it. The classic story is that he once went to pick up Gina for a date and she couldn't fit in the car with the bass, so he had to take it out and leave it at her house.
	7:43am Mike Hogan: gotta get to the Gig!
	7:43am MikeLorello: Tim Lawless on backing vox
	7:44am John Bastianelli: @Wimot, Tom TOm TOM! Where the hell is your car? when he left it there and got a ride home one night..
	7:44am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	7:44am John Bastianelli: @MikeL - that's right Timmy on B/V
	7:45am suzzo: I inherited the Opel. It was my first car. I blew the engine going up to the Adirondacks when the dipstick fell out and the oil all drained out of the car.
	7:46am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @John "Man, I don't know. I think there's something wrong with the thermostangle..."
	7:46am CarolCrow: Good morning dale, Ignatatus, Doug in JC, Listener Robert, TDK60, Ken From Hyde Park, Doris from Droitwich, Emily, David Sky Brody, lisafair, Baja Joe, Buddha of Suburbia, Elaine, Jeffrey Davison, John from NP, Lisa J B,
	7:46am suzzo: I'll say! Canary yellow. What a color.
	7:47am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo I hope you shot it through the engine to put it out of its misery.
	7:49am Phillippe Bastille: Carol, sorry to hear about your brother. My condolences to you and your family
	7:49am suzzo: Didn't have to it committed hara kiri on the Cross Island Parkway
	7:50am Mike Hogan: YO
	7:53am Mike Hogan: Overdubs in Studio C Manhattan, I think he mixed this in Studio D
	7:54am Listener Robert: Suzzo, I'm sure the loss of the oil was not caused by the blowing out of the dipstick. Rather, the engine blew a gasket and blew out the dipstick along with the oil, I'm sure. A dipstick doesn't hold back pressure.
	7:54am suzzo: Oh, right. it used to overheat all the time too.
	🌜 7:56am Brian in UK: Guessing that Tommy knew WFMU's Monica Lynch from her days at Tommy Boy.
	7:57am Guido from Cologne: Condolences! I'm so sorry!
	7:57am Liz: OMG Karen Young
	7:57am Phillippe Bastille: Tommy was a NASCAR fan, my kind of guy. Go #12 YRB
	7:58am John Bastianelli: @Mike Hogan, that was beautiful, thanks for those words!
	7:58am David Sky Brody: Hey y'all. @Carol suggested I post this here in the comments, though it's a bit of a LONG READ: The Uzzo Family Studio and the Couch of Eternal Slumber When it came time for Tommy to renovate the garage studio in Dix Hills, I was privileged to be his co-designer and “guy with the soldering iron.” Tom’s dad Tony, a legendary electrical engineer and scientist with Space Program cred, insisted upon an arcane and perfect and uncommon wire cable type and grounding scheme that had the local electrician – and me – scratching our heads. It would prove to be the essential foundation of the beautiful, powerful sounds that came out of that room for years after. That a large Long Island family would open their home (and especially their kitchen) to us – the great unwashed masses of musicians, sound-people and their various girlfriends, boyfriends and squeezes that would eventually flow through that place – was unique and amazing. All us studio rats would come to know Tom’s sisters, brother and most particularly Mama Bea, the calm, unflappable matriarch. To renovate the studio, Tom directed us to gut the garage down to the frame, flipping what had been the “control room” and “studio.” I was an acoustics freak and convinced him to let me execute a wasp-waisted room plan with very few parallel surfaces, to run all cabling through troughs in the floor, and then to fill that floor with sand. That place was built by the loving flavor of many friends – in some ways a jazz-hippie barn-raising straight out of the Whole Earth Catalog. We would find tasks that fit anybody who walked through the door. Nobody asked for money; that wasn’t the point. We would all be more than compensated for out time later on. Tom insisted one feature of the original studio had to stay: a fat, heavy, overstuffed couch. I think it had come down from the family house and was simply too massive to consider lifting back up and in. Now, my acoustic design had one major shortcoming: Low frequencies – especially prevalent in the hip-hop genre that would come to define Mirror Image Recorders – tend to pile up in the right angles between walls and floors, compromising the accuracy of what musicians and engineers are hearing. And I hadn’t yet figured out a way to build enough low-frequency absorption with stealing too much area from that already tight working interior space. That couch provided the answer. Situating it at the back of the room, it became a near perfect “bass trap.” And the super-sofa had one other unique feature: It was so comfortable, it was impossible to sit on it for more than 15 minutes without falling fast asleep, no matter how loud the studio monitors were blaring. We, therefore, dubbed it “The Couch of Eternal Slumber.” Lord knows how many of us slept on it over the years. Tommy was nothing if not practical, in his choice of equipment, musical motifs or girlfriends. Through that studio-build experience, he taught me one of the most useful life lessons: Never let the quest for the “flawless” outweigh the true demands of the here and now. In other words: “Don’t let ‘Perfection’ become the enemy of the ‘Good Enough.’” As he once said to me: “Man, like I only fear that like, man, look at me. I’m a fat piece of shit. And yet I get laid all the time!” That was how he approached every mix: There’s an infinite number of ways this can go. He never fell victim to the paralysis of indecision. Narrow your choices and live with the consequences. That was one of Tom’s many gifts to us. I guess “Eternal Slumber” has a new meaning now for Tommy. But he lives just as vibrantly as ever in your mind and mine; and in the sounds he left for us – and others – to enjoy and ponder forever. – Dave Brody
	7:58am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Mike Hogan That moved me. Thanks.
	8:01am nana: "before I let them take my sound...I'll break out in a cold sweat"...happy birthday to Soul Brother No. 1...

	8:11am Mike Hogan: Phat"
	8:12am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Dave Brody: Great story. "I only fear..." takes me back.
	8:13am Mike Hogan: LOL Tommy's self proclaimed hip hop handle was "Too Phat Tha Hip Hop Thug"
	8:13am John Bastianelli: @Mike Hogan, we were really young, I think Tommy was 23 and I was 20 in college. @Dave Brody, "I Only Fear" it takes me back to...
	8:14am David Sky Brody: @Wilmot, @JB: Yeah, no sentence could start without the required preamble: "I only fear that, like, man, like ___(Subject)___"
	8:14am Emily: Thank you to everyone sharing your stories. Because Tom worked ALL the time, you guys spent more time with him than we did, so it's nice to hear about that side of his life. He was always my cool big brother who hung out with musicians. I always admired him for following his dreams and making it work.
	8:14am MikeLorello: Awesome John. I never heard this.
	8:15am John Bastianelli: @Dave Brody, Tom would even use it to say John, "I Only fear" You suck! ;)
	8:16am John Bastianelli: @MikeL - thanks, this was before we met...
	8:16am Mike Hogan: dave B he also used to Start sentences with "To be honest....."
	8:17am CarolCrow: Good morning, Phillippe B, Guido from Cologne, nana, duck! Welcome!

	8:17am Sylvia (France-NYC): wow, Tommy worked with France's most famous rap artist!
	8:18am suzzo: Albeit, language-wise, his French was terrible.
	8:19am Mike Hogan: OMG Tommy always said cursing was way better in english. the french language didn't have 'The Suds"
	8:19am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Em Whether professionals or just friends, we all loved him.
	8:19am Sylvia (France-NYC): @suzzo ha!
	8:20am Mike Hogan: But he loved mixing those french records
	8:20am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Mike Hogan @Mike Lorello Something struck me the other day. Why did he hate banjos so much?
	8:20am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Mike Hogan I prefer cursing in English, too :)
	8:21am John Bastianelli: Since Tommy was a foodie, he loved going over to Toulouse to do this project - the chef used to call him before he arrived to take his food order, what a way to work!
	8:22am Mike Hogan: sylvia we do own that1 lol
	8:23am Listener Robert: How'd he die?
	8:24am Mike Hogan: bill Too twangy, loose intonation, hated accordion too

	8:27am Listener Robert: Thanks. Cancer of what, if you don't mind saying?
	8:27am Mike Hogan: adolfo I play this track at a club I work at from time to time. Nice
	8:30am suzzo: T-Cell Lymphoma, to be exact
	8:30am suzzo: Very rare form. We never expected it.
	8:31am Mike Hogan: wow I recorded this in studio D, Tommy mixed it
	8:31am Emily: Hey Mike Hogan, Thank you so much for helping Tom and Cindy in his last days. You went above and beyond to take care of him and I can't express my gratitude for your selfless act of love for my brother.
	8:31am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Mike L I like that tune (La Musica) a lot.
	8:31am CarolCrow: Here's an article on Tommy Uzzo with a funny video of a recording session: www.hiphopcanada.com...

	8:36am Mike Hogan: Kurt Stankus keep up the good fight brother
	8:37am David Sky Brody: @Brian in UK: for real, guv'!
	8:37am Listener Robert: Oof, that's a sad medical story on its face, suzzo. I've known, or known of, people who were ostensibly healthy OR who actually beat some more common illnesses, only to be hit out of the blue by something totally rare, or rare under the circumstances.
	8:38am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Tom Brechtlein We always had so much fun hanging in Carle Place, Tommy, you John B and me. Thomas' Ham n Eggery.

	8:41am adampsyche: can I admit something? when I first heard Jeff Sarge say "thank you Carol for bringing us forward" I thought it was a rasta saying and didn't know that Carol was the previous DJ
	8:41am CarolCrow: Hello to everyone I haven't gotten a chance to say hello to. Thank you all for everyone for being here!
	8:41am Mike Hogan: This song by The green eyed bandit Erick Sermon. Amazing. Marvin's family wouldn't allow his voice to be sampled. so erick arranged for the original 2" tape to be sent from Cali. Jimmy Iovine wouldn't send it, HE BROUGHT IT HIMSELF On A PLANE directly to studio D
	8:41am CarolCrow: Hi Earth Walker
	8:42am John Bastianelli: @Mike Hogan, I didn't know that, great story

	8:45am suzzo: Thanks all for the memories of the 8-track/16-track days. I used to do all his repairs in those days. But remember that we went up to Buffalo to look at an MCI recorder and took the most harrowing plane ride back on People's Express. I will never forget it.
	8:45am John Bastianelli: @Carol, thanks for this we all needed this I spent my entire Saturday going through old photos and reminiscing about your brother and your family and how much fun we all had, I'll miss Tom as we all will...
	8:45am lisafair1: Carol, John, Mike...all who helped...this has been a wonderful tribute...I am really enjoying listening to all the music and great stories. Thank you.
	8:46am MikeLorello: I spent 13 hours timing up Michael Jackson!
	🌜 8:46am Brian in UK: Carol, thank you for sharing this with your radio family. He sounded like someone we could all do with in our lives.

	8:50am Emily: Thanks, Carol for putting this together. I can picture Tom rocking in his chair like he always did to all this music. He broke many a chair doing that, including the one in his car. He was an amazing man. Mike H I loved the story you told us last Sunday when he named his dog Mikey after you and he said "It had to be done"
	8:50am MikeLorello: @JB Happy times
	🌜 8:51am Nulsh: Thank you Carol. What a wonderful tribute to yer' bro. Nice one. I really enjoyed all the stories. See you next week! Bye amigos!
	8:51am John Bastianelli: I brought Troy to Tommy, he was working at this other studio I was at and the owner was not a nice person and he was miserable - Tommy like many people took him under his wing and helped launch his career.
	8:51am Baja Joe: This “Billy Jean” mash-up has an Electronic (Sumner and Marr’s collaboration) vibe. You rarely hear Electronic on the radio. Always puzzled me. All of their albums were excellent. I wonder if Tommy worked with Electronic.
	8:52am suzzo: Em - The black Granada with the red interior, his Disco period vehicle of choice
	8:52am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @Carol: Thanks so much for producing this. It was an honor to record a few things about Tom and I'm glad you were able to use some. And seeing people here that I've known through the years through Tom has been a joy. But no one would doubt that we'd all come together even virtually for Tom. I hope we can all see each other in real life soon!
	8:52am Lisa J B: So glad you you put this together. A wonderful tribute and celebration off a creative life.
	8:53am suzzo: Carol - This has been amazing. Thank you, thank you thank you! <3
	8:53am Wilmot (Bill Harts): @suzzo That car had the funkiest stale beer smell ever!
	8:53am Pablexa™: Thanks Carol - Sorry for your loss
	8:53am adampsyche: thank you Carol for sharing (scrolling back)
	8:54am Mike Hogan: Troy had a gold record with ONYX those bad people at the studio Troy worked at then were trying to kick him to the curb and garner the accolades for themselves. Good on you JB
	8:54am suzzo: Bill - The beer smell was to mask other smells!
	8:54am Emily: Tom used to pay me 10 dollars a week to clean it. Guess it didn't help much
	8:54am David Sky Brody: Uzzo Family: Thank you for letting us into your hearts. All those years ago. And now.

	11:11am Ron Smith: Tommy was an original, often an over used phrase. In Tommys case this was true! I miss him!
