WFMU: The Cool Blue Flame with Little Danny: Playlist from October 15, 2020

Listener comments!
	9:46pm Matt from New Orleans: Daniel it’s a damn shame you snubbed one of my favorite actors, Edward G. Robinson. Ginger Rogers should have stuck to Fred Astaire musicals. It was never going to be an amazing film but she almost single-handedly kills it. Phil Karlson has directed some fun noirs and this is probably my least favorite of them due to Ginger.
	9:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Looking forward to the electric blues journey
	9:48pm Matt from New Orleans: And I dig Vincent. It’s a good short for Halloween month.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Hi Matt! No snubs intended, it's truly random what I grab from my library in the last moments.
	9:51pm Matt from New Orleans: I was just commenting that you didn’t include his name when he was definitely as much a star as the other two
	9:53pm Little Danny: It's just a quick scene, I believe.
	9:56pm Matt from New Orleans: Makes sense
	9:59pm Flash Strap: All yours LD! can't wait to hear
	10:00pm Little Danny: Greetings folks! I actually got my act together and whipped up a special.
	10:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Bukka is playing electric?
	10:01pm Franco Twinkie: Coolio! I hope I'm together enough to type.
	10:02pm StringOFperils: Took this Bukka White LP out of the public library in 1976 and never looked back. Thx for playing some of it Danny!
	10:02pm doctorjazz: Great opener, really BLUE!
	10:02pm Little Danny: @Matt: nope, just hitting some great drones in there.
	10:02pm Flash Strap: pumped for this man
	10:02pm Franco Twinkie: This is waking me up!
	10:03pm Little Danny: Franco! S.o.P.! Doc! Flash! Matt! Welcome friends.
	10:03pm StringOFperils: ...although, that's an earlier iteration.....
	10:03pm Matt from New Orleans: Guess I was taking the name too literally
	10:03pm Little Danny: "Fixin' To Die Blues" was a big moment when I first heard it via my dad's record collection
	10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Bukka White was the man
	10:05pm Little Danny: I played one of Bukka's other tracks recently, it was singularly responsible for the idea for this show.
	📉 10:05pm chresti: I could listen to ""Fixin' to Die Blues" all day
	📉 10:05pm WR: Hi all, listening while cooking some kind of chicken and potato dish.
	10:06pm melinda: hi gang
	10:06pm Little Danny: Me too, chresti! I first heard it as a late teen, probably listened to it a dozen times over in that first flush!
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: I visited Bukka’s marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail
	10:06pm StringOFperils: Wow, Matt, a hallowed moment to be sure.
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Melinda. It was real hot here today.
	10:07pm Little Danny: My dad actually saw him play in the '60s...
	10:07pm Chris Brown: CBF sounds louder in Alpine!
	10:08pm Little Danny: Haha, hi Chris!!! Welcome to the neighborhood.
	📉 10:09pm chresti: Wow, that's a real awesome Dad, Danny.
	10:10pm Little Danny: He has his moments, chresti! Just talked to him earlier this evening.
	10:11pm Little Danny: There will be some classics tonight, be forewarned.
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s near Houston, MS. I’ve been twice. Once when I hitchhiked through the delta during college and more recently when I biked from Houston to New Albany on a nice trail that’s been built between them.
	10:12pm Little Danny: Maru is a pretty serious blues 78 collector
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Maru is no Robert Crumb or Harvey Pekar
	📉 10:14pm WR: Edward G. Robinson with Brian Keith and G Rogers, Matt you've tweaked my curiosity, gonna take the film down for viewing. And hello to all the cool blue flamers, doing quick review of the comments and then back to the stove.
	10:15pm Little Danny: Hi hi hi WR!
	📉 10:16pm WR: So Danny, did you get that Third Man Paramount set?
	10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: You talking about the $800 set in the handmade cabinet?
	10:17pm Little Danny: I slogged through the MP3s, WR, culled 'em down to a coupla dozen tracks in total. Not all of it was interesting, that's for sure.
	10:20pm Little Danny: @Matt: lemme know if you hear any of that odd digital static this week...
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: So far it’s been fine
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: I might consider shaving if I could get someone else rub my face with a hot towel first.
	10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: My barber normally offers hot towel shaves but they’re off the menu currently
	📉 10:27pm chresti: I like "Shake 'em on Down", too.
	10:30pm Little Danny: Oh yes chresti! I don't quite know the musical theory behind, but Bukka White had a really incredible of combining his voice and guitar into all sorts of otherworldly progressions.
	10:30pm Little Danny: This JLH track in particular has been a source of fascination for me for years now.
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: John Lee Hooker is one of the few people I have seen that actually gave me chills.
	10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I hadn’t realized my dad’s copy of The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker was worth so much
	10:33pm Little Danny: I believe it, Franco. JLH's another cat who really seemed drawn to odd modes and drones
	10:34pm ParUbi: hey everyone, hi Danny
	10:35pm Little Danny: ParUbi! Hello pal.
	📉 10:35pm Aitch: Amazing sounds
	10:35pm doctorjazz: IN THE SWAMP!
	📉 10:35pm Ignore Function: Love this Junior Kimbrough.
	10:36pm Little Danny: Thank you Aitch! I agree!
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I got to see Junior twice in the 90s
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Wow!!
	10:38pm Little Danny: Hi Ignore! You are a man of good taste so of course you liked that! It's incredible.
	10:38pm doctorjazz: One damn chord, don't need no more!
	10:39pm Little Danny: Exactly, doc! That Country Jim has such forward momentum.
	10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: I went to his juke two nights in a row when I was hitchhiking. It was the summer of 97.
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Bar lines? Who needs em?!
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: " I was sittin' in the corner weepin' to myself." Right to the point, I'd say.
	📉 10:41pm Aitch: The Explorers Room / Blue Flame double solidly booked into my WFMU calendar these days. What Was Music after that on the live channel for added cerebral expansion.
	10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: I believe I saw him in the summer of 87 as well Franco outside at Lincoln Center when I was nine but I have no real specific memories of that night.
	10:42pm Little Danny: @Aitch: Glad to hear. I am really, really glad that Evan and I are back to back. Can't imagine a better lead-in.
	📉 10:43pm Aitch: Even better in FLAME-O-SCOPE!
	10:44pm Little Danny: HEY EVERYBODY: Does the basic conceit/premise of tonight's make sense? It's a very specific and kinda subtle theme. Wholly sound-oriented.
	📉 10:44pm WR: Danny, Totally unrelated to the current show, but earlier this week Robert Ashley was played on Sheena stream and i remembered that you live in Marfa TX. Did you see any of the Spanish version of Ashley's Vidas Perfectos that was performed and filmed in Marfa in 2012 or 2014ish?
	📉 10:45pm chresti: Aitch, a trifecta of great shows.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, at nine you might or maybe not have understood Baby Pease Don't Leave Me.
	📉 10:46pm Ignore Function: Yeah, it makes sense Danny.
	10:46pm doctorjazz: Man, there's smoke coming out of my speakers!
	10:46pm Little Danny: @WR: I did not! Though my lady helped with some of its logistics.
	10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: It certainly would have gone right over my head
	10:47pm Little Danny: Thanks Ignore, I appreciate it.
	10:47pm Chris Brown: Stepped away and missed Country Jim...but finding his promo photo in a Baton Rouge antique store once made my day. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bJT4rE9LvKI/UQ7m36tiPFI/AAAAAAAAApA/15b9bV7KMDE/s1600/Country+Jim+photograph+(circa+1950).jpg
	📉 10:47pm chresti: Makes perfect sense, LD.
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: I think it makes sense Danny, I can't get out of the chair for fear of breaking the spell.
	10:48pm Little Danny: @chris: This show seems solidly in your line and place of work, somehow.
	10:48pm Little Danny: Thanks Chresti & Franco! GOOD!
	10:49pm doctorjazz: Primitive, basic, and raw stuff! Loving it!
	📉 10:52pm chresti: I love acoustic guitar blues, especially.
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: I saw Dave Bartholomew perform this at Preservation Hall inches away from Dave. I was third in line. It was an all acoustic set through his early work. It was one of the best nights of my life.
	10:53pm Little Danny: Wow!
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: The Monkey is crazy good!
	📉 10:57pm WR: Thank you Danny, I've been wanting to hear Bartholomew's Monkey Speaks his mind since Grogan's Primate show earlier today.
	10:58pm Matt from New Orleans: When I heard on WWOZ that morning that he was doing a show that night, I left work early and stood in line for hours. He was well into his 90s at this point. He could still blow his trumpet. It certainly made its way to Jamaica. New Orleans R&B was huge in Jamaica.
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: There’s no ska without NOLA R&B
	📉 11:01pm WR: PS: you are wondering if the concept of your show is working. Consider that you've got audiophile doctorjazz loving it. And you just invoked Frankie Lee Sims by name, so where it the tune?
	11:05pm doctorjazz: I'm an audio snob, but I ain't no fool!
	11:06pm Little Danny: @WR: I'm hoping to get to Frankie Lee Sims if time allows!
	11:08pm Little Danny: There are some great lyrics in this JLH track!
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Going to lay the phone down, catch the rest of theshow, thanks, Danny, night all!
	📉 11:09pm WR: Laters doctorjazz!
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: This is so painful.
	11:10pm Matt from New Orleans: Night Doc
	11:10pm Little Danny: House on the water Don't need no land When I'm dead and gone Bury me In that deep blue sea
	📉 11:10pm chresti: Night doc!
	📉 11:12pm WR: Ok. The pot is simmering, what's on theFLAME-O-SCOPE™ ?
	11:13pm Little Danny: I'm actually not sure what this is! Black and white modern dance film.
	📉 11:13pm WR: Did I miss the RCA vinyl promo film?
	11:13pm Little Danny: I don't think it's played yet.
	📉 11:14pm chresti: Pas De Deux, I think
	11:14pm Little Danny: Thanks Chresti, that's right!
	📉 11:15pm WR: I would guess that this is Pas De Deux.
	📉 11:15pm chresti: The RCA vinyl story did play.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Another one-chord wonder, this Bo Diddley song.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Bo had the most beautiful guitar tone ever.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Oh Man, can you just imagine having the band playing this at your wedding reception?
	11:20pm Chris Brown: Missing much of this live, but I look forward to digging into this show in the archives!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: I've always loved Cat Squirrel since my mom got Fresh Cream for my thirteenth birthday.
	11:24pm Little Danny: I first heard it through Fresh Cream, too! That album still has some good moments.
	11:24pm Little Danny: Another essentially one-chord song, "Do the Do."
	11:25pm Dean: Deux de deux.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Mean Dean! How goes it, bud?
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Okay one more comment then I shut up. I saw Howin' Wolf open for Alice Cooper in 1972. I still haven't got over it. It truly changed the way I thought about music.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Howlin' Wolf is god.
	11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s an interesting combo
	11:27pm Dean: Ca va.
	11:27pm Franco Twinkie: Amen!
	11:28pm Matt from New Orleans: Did Howlin’ join Alice for School’s Out?
	11:29pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny to your earlier question Be My Guest was huge in Jamaica
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: It was during the time that Killer came out.
	📉 11:31pm WR: This Jim Jackson could be a Beefheart & Magic Band early outtake.
	11:31pm Little Danny: I believe it, Matt. I know there is a lot of history out there about the influence of R&B on Jamaican music. I just don't know that much about Jamaican music.
	11:32pm Little Danny: Truly, WR. There seemed to be two different rhythms in play, both of them weird.
	📉 11:33pm chresti: Wow Volcano.
	11:33pm Little Danny: Dean I love you. Thank you for your contribution!
	📉 11:34pm chresti: I love band saws.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: greetings Danny and all
	11:34pm Dean: Thank you, Danny. Wasn't much, but I love you, too.
	11:34pm Little Danny: Coela! How goes it my good manth?
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: bummer, i missed Billy Preston. cool i made it in time for Willie Brown
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: Danny i'm knackered you?
	11:37pm Little Danny: Knackered is the word here too.
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: ...and i missed most of one of my favorite nights to listen to the radio
	📉 11:37pm WR: Wow, Franco, I didn't get to see Howlin' Wolf. Great concert combo for 72.
	📉 11:40pm chresti: Sorry about your miss, coel.
	📉 11:41pm chresti: You got here just in time for bandsaw restoration.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: chresti this guy's amazing!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: ...although i think it's odd that he chose to sacrifice a perfectly good wrench for this device. he could've done it another way. ...maybe he's got too many wrenches
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Plenty of clamps.
	11:47pm Little Danny: Ha, yes, so man clamps in this.
	11:48pm Little Danny: *many
	11:48pm Dean: Pony up, folks. Even just a little.
	11:49pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Danny. Been a fantastic show. Putting the phone down for the last few. Have a good night everyone.
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: Industry On Parade, where? not around here.
	11:49pm Little Danny: Thanks Matt!
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Can you imagine taking apart locomotives all day then going home and eating meatloaf?
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: (or rice and beans)
	11:55pm Little Danny: OMGGG Chresti and Dean are the stars tonight! Thank you, and thank you both, I love you both! Best damn people.
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: I'm so glad I don't work in a foundry.
	📉 11:56pm chresti: Thank YOU Danny!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm so glad Skip James existed
	11:57pm Dean: Meatloaf? Yes, I can imagine eating it night after night. You haven't had my meatloaf, Franco. Trust me, it's spectacular.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: but i'm so sad he was too bitter to embrace his "rediscovery"
	📉 11:57pm WR: coelacanth∅ truth!
	11:57pm Little Danny: Chresti and Dean! I'll thank you both properly at the beginning of next week's show. Thank you again!
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: I'm so glad we have WFMU to take the edge off these sad, sad times.
	📉 11:58pm chresti: Dean, on a silver platter 1 hope.
	11:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Great Art Neville track
	11:58pm Dean: Thanks, schmanks. Don't worry about it, Danny.
	11:58pm Little Danny: Me too, Franco. Boy is FMU the blam.
	11:59pm Little Danny: Haha, the balm! The balm!
	11:59pm Dean: chresti, my meatloaf on paper plates, even then, is amazing. Not that I'm boasting, except that I am to some extent.
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: I'm also glad Dean takes meatloaf seriously.
	📉 12:01am chresti: If the kids like it, then it must be good, Dean.
	📉 12:01am WR: Blam works too. And you owe us Frankie Lee Sims. Don't think I have any here. Must search for it. Love the show Danny, Laters all.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: "to some extant" indeed! ...i liked my mother's meatloaf. don't remember the taste though
	12:02am Dean: The kids? Not sure. The adults? Yes. Yes, we do like it.
	📉 12:03am Ignore Function: Wham, blam, thank you Dan!
	12:03am Franco Twinkie: This Corvette ad is SO Penthouse.
	12:04am coelacanth∅: blama lama lama lu i got a radio station named wfmu...
	12:04am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Danny.
	12:04am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! tchau fokes
	12:05am Little Danny: @WR: It came down to Frankie Lee Sims vs Art Neville and I went with the latter. But I got you brother.
	12:05am Little Danny: Thank you my friends! Love y'all! See y'all around!
	📉 12:07am WR: No problem Danny, just funning you. And either way it is a win.
	12:08am coelacanth∅: damn -i'd really like to know what artist and song this is but the drummer stream playlist is not available
	4:45pm dave wuz here: glad to catch this after the fact- thanks

Listener comments!
	9:46pm Matt from New Orleans: Daniel it’s a damn shame you snubbed one of my favorite actors, Edward G. Robinson. Ginger Rogers should have stuck to Fred Astaire musicals. It was never going to be an amazing film but she almost single-handedly kills it. Phil Karlson has directed some fun noirs and this is probably my least favorite of them due to Ginger.
	9:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Looking forward to the electric blues journey
	9:48pm Matt from New Orleans: And I dig Vincent. It’s a good short for Halloween month.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Hi Matt! No snubs intended, it's truly random what I grab from my library in the last moments.
	9:51pm Matt from New Orleans: I was just commenting that you didn’t include his name when he was definitely as much a star as the other two
	9:53pm Little Danny: It's just a quick scene, I believe.
	9:56pm Matt from New Orleans: Makes sense
	9:59pm Flash Strap: All yours LD! can't wait to hear
	10:00pm Little Danny: Greetings folks! I actually got my act together and whipped up a special.
	10:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Bukka is playing electric?
	10:01pm Franco Twinkie: Coolio! I hope I'm together enough to type.
	10:02pm StringOFperils: Took this Bukka White LP out of the public library in 1976 and never looked back. Thx for playing some of it Danny!
	10:02pm doctorjazz: Great opener, really BLUE!
	10:02pm Little Danny: @Matt: nope, just hitting some great drones in there.
	10:02pm Flash Strap: pumped for this man
	10:02pm Franco Twinkie: This is waking me up!
	10:03pm Little Danny: Franco! S.o.P.! Doc! Flash! Matt! Welcome friends.
	10:03pm StringOFperils: ...although, that's an earlier iteration.....
	10:03pm Matt from New Orleans: Guess I was taking the name too literally
	10:03pm Little Danny: "Fixin' To Die Blues" was a big moment when I first heard it via my dad's record collection
	10:04pm Matt from New Orleans: Bukka White was the man
	10:05pm Little Danny: I played one of Bukka's other tracks recently, it was singularly responsible for the idea for this show.
	📉 10:05pm chresti: I could listen to ""Fixin' to Die Blues" all day
	📉 10:05pm WR: Hi all, listening while cooking some kind of chicken and potato dish.
	10:06pm melinda: hi gang
	10:06pm Little Danny: Me too, chresti! I first heard it as a late teen, probably listened to it a dozen times over in that first flush!
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: I visited Bukka’s marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail
	10:06pm StringOFperils: Wow, Matt, a hallowed moment to be sure.
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Melinda. It was real hot here today.
	10:07pm Little Danny: My dad actually saw him play in the '60s...
	10:07pm Chris Brown: CBF sounds louder in Alpine!
	10:08pm Little Danny: Haha, hi Chris!!! Welcome to the neighborhood.
	📉 10:09pm chresti: Wow, that's a real awesome Dad, Danny.
	10:10pm Little Danny: He has his moments, chresti! Just talked to him earlier this evening.
	10:11pm Little Danny: There will be some classics tonight, be forewarned.
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s near Houston, MS. I’ve been twice. Once when I hitchhiked through the delta during college and more recently when I biked from Houston to New Albany on a nice trail that’s been built between them.
	10:12pm Little Danny: Maru is a pretty serious blues 78 collector
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Maru is no Robert Crumb or Harvey Pekar
	📉 10:14pm WR: Edward G. Robinson with Brian Keith and G Rogers, Matt you've tweaked my curiosity, gonna take the film down for viewing. And hello to all the cool blue flamers, doing quick review of the comments and then back to the stove.
	10:15pm Little Danny: Hi hi hi WR!
	📉 10:16pm WR: So Danny, did you get that Third Man Paramount set?
	10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: You talking about the $800 set in the handmade cabinet?
	10:17pm Little Danny: I slogged through the MP3s, WR, culled 'em down to a coupla dozen tracks in total. Not all of it was interesting, that's for sure.
	10:20pm Little Danny: @Matt: lemme know if you hear any of that odd digital static this week...
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: So far it’s been fine
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: I might consider shaving if I could get someone else rub my face with a hot towel first.
	10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: My barber normally offers hot towel shaves but they’re off the menu currently
	📉 10:27pm chresti: I like "Shake 'em on Down", too.
	10:30pm Little Danny: Oh yes chresti! I don't quite know the musical theory behind, but Bukka White had a really incredible of combining his voice and guitar into all sorts of otherworldly progressions.
	10:30pm Little Danny: This JLH track in particular has been a source of fascination for me for years now.
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: John Lee Hooker is one of the few people I have seen that actually gave me chills.
	10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I hadn’t realized my dad’s copy of The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker was worth so much
	10:33pm Little Danny: I believe it, Franco. JLH's another cat who really seemed drawn to odd modes and drones
	10:34pm ParUbi: hey everyone, hi Danny
	10:35pm Little Danny: ParUbi! Hello pal.
	📉 10:35pm Aitch: Amazing sounds
	10:35pm doctorjazz: IN THE SWAMP!
	📉 10:35pm Ignore Function: Love this Junior Kimbrough.
	10:36pm Little Danny: Thank you Aitch! I agree!
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I got to see Junior twice in the 90s
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Wow!!
	10:38pm Little Danny: Hi Ignore! You are a man of good taste so of course you liked that! It's incredible.
	10:38pm doctorjazz: One damn chord, don't need no more!
	10:39pm Little Danny: Exactly, doc! That Country Jim has such forward momentum.
	10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: I went to his juke two nights in a row when I was hitchhiking. It was the summer of 97.
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Bar lines? Who needs em?!
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: " I was sittin' in the corner weepin' to myself." Right to the point, I'd say.
	📉 10:41pm Aitch: The Explorers Room / Blue Flame double solidly booked into my WFMU calendar these days. What Was Music after that on the live channel for added cerebral expansion.
	10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: I believe I saw him in the summer of 87 as well Franco outside at Lincoln Center when I was nine but I have no real specific memories of that night.
	10:42pm Little Danny: @Aitch: Glad to hear. I am really, really glad that Evan and I are back to back. Can't imagine a better lead-in.
	📉 10:43pm Aitch: Even better in FLAME-O-SCOPE!
	10:44pm Little Danny: HEY EVERYBODY: Does the basic conceit/premise of tonight's make sense? It's a very specific and kinda subtle theme. Wholly sound-oriented.
	📉 10:44pm WR: Danny, Totally unrelated to the current show, but earlier this week Robert Ashley was played on Sheena stream and i remembered that you live in Marfa TX. Did you see any of the Spanish version of Ashley's Vidas Perfectos that was performed and filmed in Marfa in 2012 or 2014ish?
	📉 10:45pm chresti: Aitch, a trifecta of great shows.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, at nine you might or maybe not have understood Baby Pease Don't Leave Me.
	📉 10:46pm Ignore Function: Yeah, it makes sense Danny.
	10:46pm doctorjazz: Man, there's smoke coming out of my speakers!
	10:46pm Little Danny: @WR: I did not! Though my lady helped with some of its logistics.
	10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: It certainly would have gone right over my head
	10:47pm Little Danny: Thanks Ignore, I appreciate it.
	10:47pm Chris Brown: Stepped away and missed Country Jim...but finding his promo photo in a Baton Rouge antique store once made my day. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bJT4rE9LvKI/UQ7m36tiPFI/AAAAAAAAApA/15b9bV7KMDE/s1600/Country+Jim+photograph+(circa+1950).jpg
	📉 10:47pm chresti: Makes perfect sense, LD.
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: I think it makes sense Danny, I can't get out of the chair for fear of breaking the spell.
	10:48pm Little Danny: @chris: This show seems solidly in your line and place of work, somehow.
	10:48pm Little Danny: Thanks Chresti & Franco! GOOD!
	10:49pm doctorjazz: Primitive, basic, and raw stuff! Loving it!
	📉 10:52pm chresti: I love acoustic guitar blues, especially.
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: I saw Dave Bartholomew perform this at Preservation Hall inches away from Dave. I was third in line. It was an all acoustic set through his early work. It was one of the best nights of my life.
	10:53pm Little Danny: Wow!
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: The Monkey is crazy good!
	📉 10:57pm WR: Thank you Danny, I've been wanting to hear Bartholomew's Monkey Speaks his mind since Grogan's Primate show earlier today.
	10:58pm Matt from New Orleans: When I heard on WWOZ that morning that he was doing a show that night, I left work early and stood in line for hours. He was well into his 90s at this point. He could still blow his trumpet. It certainly made its way to Jamaica. New Orleans R&B was huge in Jamaica.
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: There’s no ska without NOLA R&B
	📉 11:01pm WR: PS: you are wondering if the concept of your show is working. Consider that you've got audiophile doctorjazz loving it. And you just invoked Frankie Lee Sims by name, so where it the tune?
	11:05pm doctorjazz: I'm an audio snob, but I ain't no fool!
	11:06pm Little Danny: @WR: I'm hoping to get to Frankie Lee Sims if time allows!
	11:08pm Little Danny: There are some great lyrics in this JLH track!
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Going to lay the phone down, catch the rest of theshow, thanks, Danny, night all!
	📉 11:09pm WR: Laters doctorjazz!
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: This is so painful.
	11:10pm Matt from New Orleans: Night Doc
	11:10pm Little Danny: House on the water Don't need no land When I'm dead and gone Bury me In that deep blue sea
	📉 11:10pm chresti: Night doc!
	📉 11:12pm WR: Ok. The pot is simmering, what's on theFLAME-O-SCOPE™ ?
	11:13pm Little Danny: I'm actually not sure what this is! Black and white modern dance film.
	📉 11:13pm WR: Did I miss the RCA vinyl promo film?
	11:13pm Little Danny: I don't think it's played yet.
	📉 11:14pm chresti: Pas De Deux, I think
	11:14pm Little Danny: Thanks Chresti, that's right!
	📉 11:15pm WR: I would guess that this is Pas De Deux.
	📉 11:15pm chresti: The RCA vinyl story did play.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Another one-chord wonder, this Bo Diddley song.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Bo had the most beautiful guitar tone ever.
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Oh Man, can you just imagine having the band playing this at your wedding reception?
	11:20pm Chris Brown: Missing much of this live, but I look forward to digging into this show in the archives!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: I've always loved Cat Squirrel since my mom got Fresh Cream for my thirteenth birthday.
	11:24pm Little Danny: I first heard it through Fresh Cream, too! That album still has some good moments.
	11:24pm Little Danny: Another essentially one-chord song, "Do the Do."
	11:25pm Dean: Deux de deux.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Mean Dean! How goes it, bud?
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Okay one more comment then I shut up. I saw Howin' Wolf open for Alice Cooper in 1972. I still haven't got over it. It truly changed the way I thought about music.
	11:26pm Little Danny: Howlin' Wolf is god.
	11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s an interesting combo
	11:27pm Dean: Ca va.
	11:27pm Franco Twinkie: Amen!
	11:28pm Matt from New Orleans: Did Howlin’ join Alice for School’s Out?
	11:29pm Matt from New Orleans: Danny to your earlier question Be My Guest was huge in Jamaica
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: It was during the time that Killer came out.
	📉 11:31pm WR: This Jim Jackson could be a Beefheart & Magic Band early outtake.
	11:31pm Little Danny: I believe it, Matt. I know there is a lot of history out there about the influence of R&B on Jamaican music. I just don't know that much about Jamaican music.
	11:32pm Little Danny: Truly, WR. There seemed to be two different rhythms in play, both of them weird.
	📉 11:33pm chresti: Wow Volcano.
	11:33pm Little Danny: Dean I love you. Thank you for your contribution!
	📉 11:34pm chresti: I love band saws.
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: greetings Danny and all
	11:34pm Dean: Thank you, Danny. Wasn't much, but I love you, too.
	11:34pm Little Danny: Coela! How goes it my good manth?
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: bummer, i missed Billy Preston. cool i made it in time for Willie Brown
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: Danny i'm knackered you?
	11:37pm Little Danny: Knackered is the word here too.
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: ...and i missed most of one of my favorite nights to listen to the radio
	📉 11:37pm WR: Wow, Franco, I didn't get to see Howlin' Wolf. Great concert combo for 72.
	📉 11:40pm chresti: Sorry about your miss, coel.
	📉 11:41pm chresti: You got here just in time for bandsaw restoration.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: chresti this guy's amazing!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: ...although i think it's odd that he chose to sacrifice a perfectly good wrench for this device. he could've done it another way. ...maybe he's got too many wrenches
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Plenty of clamps.
	11:47pm Little Danny: Ha, yes, so man clamps in this.
	11:48pm Little Danny: *many
	11:48pm Dean: Pony up, folks. Even just a little.
	11:49pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Danny. Been a fantastic show. Putting the phone down for the last few. Have a good night everyone.
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: Industry On Parade, where? not around here.
	11:49pm Little Danny: Thanks Matt!
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Can you imagine taking apart locomotives all day then going home and eating meatloaf?
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: (or rice and beans)
	11:55pm Little Danny: OMGGG Chresti and Dean are the stars tonight! Thank you, and thank you both, I love you both! Best damn people.
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: I'm so glad I don't work in a foundry.
	📉 11:56pm chresti: Thank YOU Danny!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm so glad Skip James existed
	11:57pm Dean: Meatloaf? Yes, I can imagine eating it night after night. You haven't had my meatloaf, Franco. Trust me, it's spectacular.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: but i'm so sad he was too bitter to embrace his "rediscovery"
	📉 11:57pm WR: coelacanth∅ truth!
	11:57pm Little Danny: Chresti and Dean! I'll thank you both properly at the beginning of next week's show. Thank you again!
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: I'm so glad we have WFMU to take the edge off these sad, sad times.
	📉 11:58pm chresti: Dean, on a silver platter 1 hope.
	11:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Great Art Neville track
	11:58pm Dean: Thanks, schmanks. Don't worry about it, Danny.
	11:58pm Little Danny: Me too, Franco. Boy is FMU the blam.
	11:59pm Little Danny: Haha, the balm! The balm!
	11:59pm Dean: chresti, my meatloaf on paper plates, even then, is amazing. Not that I'm boasting, except that I am to some extent.
	11:59pm Franco Twinkie: I'm also glad Dean takes meatloaf seriously.
	📉 12:01am chresti: If the kids like it, then it must be good, Dean.
	📉 12:01am WR: Blam works too. And you owe us Frankie Lee Sims. Don't think I have any here. Must search for it. Love the show Danny, Laters all.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: "to some extant" indeed! ...i liked my mother's meatloaf. don't remember the taste though
	12:02am Dean: The kids? Not sure. The adults? Yes. Yes, we do like it.
	📉 12:03am Ignore Function: Wham, blam, thank you Dan!
	12:03am Franco Twinkie: This Corvette ad is SO Penthouse.
	12:04am coelacanth∅: blama lama lama lu i got a radio station named wfmu...
	12:04am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Danny.
	12:04am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! tchau fokes
	12:05am Little Danny: @WR: It came down to Frankie Lee Sims vs Art Neville and I went with the latter. But I got you brother.
	12:05am Little Danny: Thank you my friends! Love y'all! See y'all around!
	📉 12:07am WR: No problem Danny, just funning you. And either way it is a win.
	12:08am coelacanth∅: damn -i'd really like to know what artist and song this is but the drummer stream playlist is not available
	4:45pm dave wuz here: glad to catch this after the fact- thanks
