	♥ 2:23pm Dennis Diken: thanks G - it's gonna take a Miracle(s) to write a tune like that one!
	♥ 2:23pm Gaylord Fields: Haha!!!
	♥ 2:26pm myron feld: Sounds nothing like Duke of Earl!
	2:27pm Jeff Owens in AZ: Hi Dennis — Tuned in and really digging it! Thanks for the cool Wednesday hang!
	♥ 2:29pm Gaylord Fields: Gene Chandler makes up in coolness what he lacks in knowledge of British titles of peerage.
	♥ 2:30pm myron feld: The Gene Chandler cut, "Lost In My World" by the Outsiders and so on: DJ premium idea #453 -- Follow-up Songs That Are The Hit Songs Sideways. Or maybe that's been done.
	2:30pm spurn: Dennis -- don't know if you saw today -- they're making a movie of Ronnie Spector's life! Hoping you can play yourself...
	♥ 2:31pm Dennis Diken: very observant myron - and a swell idea! keep listening for more such stash! thanks Jeff! spurn! news we can use!
	♥ 2:31pm Gaylord Fields: @myron feld: The title (and lead cut) for that premium comp: It's the Same Old Song
	♥ 2:31pm myron feld: @Gaylord: Paydirt!
	♥ 2:32pm Candy-O'67: I can't wait for that movie to come out, spurn!!! Love Ronnie! Seen her here twice in Austin and she's always so, so good!!
	♥ 2:35pm Gaylord Fields: Taye Diggs will play me in the scene where Ronnie sings my favorite Ronettes song, "Do I Love You," over the 45 when I'm interviewing her during my show, even inserting my name in the lyrics: "Do I need Gaylord's arms around me"! That really happened.
	♥ 2:38pm Dennis Diken: that is too much Gaylord!
	♥ 2:39pm Candy-O'67: Gaylord, that's my favorite song of the Ronettes, too! Didn't know you interviewed or knew her. That is so amazing!! You be famous! Ha!!
	♥ 2:41pm Dennis Diken: Candy-O, were you at Ronnie's Austin show 12/17 with Wanda Jackson?
	♥ 2:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Dennis: I still can't believe it! Best day of my life (sorry, Kathleen)! @Candy-O: I first met Ronnie years ago, and she is a beautiful person, as our host can certainly attest — even though her husband/manager Jonathan did buy the last veggie wrap out from under me when a bunch of us were stranded at the New Orleans airport post-Stomp one year. I forgive them.
	♥ 2:43pm Woo: Timi sounds like Gene Pitney here.
	♥ 2:45pm Dennis Diken: Woo - all the greats aspired to the heights of Pitney
	♥ 2:47pm Dennis Diken: here's your Pitney Woo...
	♥ 2:47pm Candy-O'67: Great story, Gaylord! I can tell she is a lovely lady just from all the talking she does at her shows and I've heard her interviewed by Cousin Brucie, too. I was front row seeing her outside on New Year's Eve 2014 here in Austin. It was a small venue here, The Spider House Cafe and it was freezing and started to drizzle at the end of her set. Once everyone was packed in like sardines, it warmed up. It was a magical night!!
	♥ 2:48pm Gaylord Fields: Ahhhhhh, Pitney!!!
	♥ 2:49pm Dennis Diken: hey Gaylord, let's do a deep Pitney trib show someday, huh?
	♥ 2:49pm Woo: Thank you for the Pitney!
	♥ 2:50pm Gaylord Fields: YES!!! Absolutely! Count me in, Dennis!
	2:50pm Reechie: Wow, this was on my old cassette of Gene Pitney's "Big Sixteen Volume 2" when I was like five!
	♥ 2:52pm Dennis Diken: you got it G! glad you dug Gene Woo & Reechie!
	♥ 2:54pm Gaylord Fields: In the '60s, Teddy Randazzo wrote a bunch of glittering Bacharach-ian songs for the Royalettes and Little Anthony/Imperials that I just flip for.
	♥ 2:55pm Dennis Diken: yeah G, and the A-sides are good too!
	♥ 2:56pm Gaylord Fields: Haha — you tell no lies!
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: G - indeed, TR rules. my high school speech class teacher Mr. Randazzo was a cousin.
	♥ 2:58pm Woo: Ann-Margrock!
	♥ 2:59pm Gaylord Fields: How did anyone get any work done in Mr. Randazzo's class with you constantly asking him about his cousin's songs? :)
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: yeah Gaylord, I was going out of my head!
	♥ 3:01pm Gaylord Fields: Then Mr. Randazzo kicked you out of the classroom for being disruptive, and you were on the outside looking in. That must have hurt so bad.
	♥ 3:03pm Dennis Diken: "better use my head" is what I was thinking Gaylord...
	3:04pm blip: Hey Dennis. This is getting to be a habit. Was there with Dennis in high school. Very disruptive
	♥ 3:04pm Gaylord Fields: Special guest appearance by Detective Joe Jitsu on "Byrd Avenue."
	♥ 3:05pm myron feld: Convalescent Hippies might be the name of my new band. What a great track.
	♥ 3:05pm myron feld: @Gaylord: great catch!
	♥ 3:06pm myron feld: Officer Heap O'Calorie can't be far behind.
	3:06pm Reechie: Okay, you're making me spend money now! Had to track down that Pitney CD just to get "Fool Killer"! Hadn't heard that one since I was a kid!
	♥ 3:06pm Mike Sin: Side comment apropos of nothing -- I heard a lot of Mose Allison music before I ever saw a picture of him. After I saw pictures of him, I said to myself, "How could this guy have not have had a side career as an actor as the Russian spy in every '60s espionage movie?" Every picture of him sorta reminds me of that. Anyway, back to much more meaningful discussions about music! ;)
	♥ 3:08pm Gaylord Fields: I love being in a group of people where everyone gets Dick Tracy cartoon show references.
	♥ 3:08pm Dennis Diken: yeah Mike, heh! hey blip! Reechie, you won't be sorry, that's a fine Pitney comp. I dug Mumbles too...
	♥ 3:13pm myron feld: Anyone old enough to remember The Chuck McCann Show? When it came time to play the Dick Tracy cartoon, he introed it with "Dick Tracy" by The Chants. Such a cool song. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:16pm Dennis Diken: oh yes myron, indeed. remember his bit on Little Orphan Annie? I used to hang with Chuck at the coffee shop at Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City. he "friended" me on FB!! may he RIP
	♥ 3:18pm Gaylord Fields: myron: I'm the right age and grew up in the right place to remember Chuck McCann (even when he wan on Clay Cole's show). Sandy Becker and Sonny Fox's Wonderama are also deep in my childhood memory banks, not to mention Captain Jack McCarthy and Officer Joe Bolton. I even remember Beachcomber Freakin' Bill!
	♥ 3:18pm myron feld: Yes yes yes!
	♥ 3:20pm Dennis Diken: also myron - it was probably shtick but the cameramen shook the image as to suggest they were cracking up at Chuck! was the show called "Let's Have Fun"?
	3:20pm blip: I remember Laurel andHardy with Chuck McCann. Loved Stubby Kaye singing opening theme for Shenanigans
	♥ 3:21pm myron feld: I'm pretty sure Sonny Fox hosted Let's Have Fun as well as Wonderama. LHF was Saturday mornings, Wonderama Sundays.
	♥ 3:22pm Dennis Diken: yeah G, and the Abbott & Costello show on the tube too at that time. talk about acid for the children!
	3:23pm blip: Stinky and Mike the cop!
	♥ 3:24pm Gaylord Fields: DD, it's little wonder we've grown up to become such warped and twisted quasi-adults — aaaand loving it!
	♥ 3:26pm myron feld: Without the A&C show, I certainly wouldn't know what "Cavalleria Rusticana" is -- "allllright!"
	3:27pm Reechie: Always loved how the drummer had to vary the tempo to keep up with Paul Simon!
	♥ 3:27pm Dennis Diken: right Reechie!
	3:28pm Mike Conroy: Whatever happened to the biopic on Tom Wilson that Marshall Crenshaw was trying to put together?
	♥ 3:29pm Gaylord Fields: Without A&C, I wouldn't have the welcome pleasure of the occasional person coming up to me and promising that they'll soon fork over their overdue rent.
	♥ 3:30pm Gaylord Fields: Anyone who upon meeting me makes a Sidney Fields joke to me rather than going for the low-hanging fruit of my first name is an automatic friend for life.
	♥ 3:31pm myron feld: @Gaylord: rightfully so.
	♥ 3:31pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, myron!
	♥ 3:32pm myron feld: Dennis: Earl Palmer on drums on "Nervous Breakdown?"
	3:32pm Creature Boy: Just Like Eddie
	♥ 3:33pm Dennis Diken: I know 2 - maybe 3 - people who met Sidney Fields. he's the man I'd most like to have lunch with. not sure sure myron - probably tho. I learned some other tub men played on some EC stash
	3:39pm Tom Kowalski: love this Db's song
	♥ 3:42pm Dennis Diken: hey Tom & Creature Boy!
	3:42pm Tom Kowalski: always great to listen to you Dennis
	♥ 3:44pm Dennis Diken: bless you Tom!
	♥ 3:44pm Candy-O'67: Love The Godfathers!!
	♥ 3:46pm Gaylord Fields: Folk vs. rock argument ca. 1966? Those two already hooked up and had a baby by then!
	♥ 3:48pm myron feld: Another great one in the books, Dennis. Thanks again!
	♥ 3:49pm suzyhotrod: Love this show, Dennis! It's always on when I get back from work and a great soundtrack to unwind.
	♥ 3:49pm Dennis Diken: thank you myron, suzy! you all make my day every Wednesday!
	3:50pm ChrisB.: Gee! Have been listening all afternoon and this is my first look at the chat. Missed all the great Sid Fields, Chuck McCann and Sonny Fox banter!
	♥ 3:51pm Dennis Diken: ChrisB - to be continued!
	♥ 3:51pm Dennis Diken: thanks again everyone, love you all madly!
	♥ 3:52pm Gaylord Fields: Thank you, Dennis! @ChrisB: I have a feeling that's not the last of it in this weekly space.
	♥ 3:52pm suzyhotrod: Happy Fat Bear Week, Gaylord Fields!
	♥ 3:56pm Gaylord Fields: @suzy: Haha!!!
	3:59pm ChrisB.: @gaylord: oh, good. Perhaps we can bring Sandy Becker into the thread.
	4:52pm Mark in Toronto: Bo Street Runners are British, apparently Mick Fleetwood was in the band.
