	♥ 8:01pm Handy Haversack: You say you're from Detroit City! Hell yeah! Let's hear it for the Mitten!
	8:02pm Richard S: Hello!
	8:02pm Listener Robert: I've been to Detroit during this century. Trust me, you don't want the nation to go that way.
	♥ 8:02pm Yes: Let’s dance , friends
	♥ 8:02pm mariano: Hey all! Handy, I can find no fault with the opening song's grammar. There goes one RABGRA Award (RABGRAward?).
	8:02pm Becky: Hiya friends! Let's do this thing!
	♥ 8:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya Becky, Crew, folks!
	♥ 8:03pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, attendees of the gala will get RABGRAbbags.
	8:03pm y_ddraig_las: Good evening y'all. Will Becky have enough records from Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and North Carolina for the whole hour?
	♥ 8:06pm mariano: There you go, Handy. All falling into place. Of course, you might need to formalize your name to Utile.
	♥ 8:06pm loveless: I am exhausted, hoping the show will revive me. Hiya everyone.
	♥ 8:06pm brycepunk1: Becky, I remember vividly listening to your show 4 years ago, how upset you were.. I really hope that we don't have a repeat of that. Hope.
	♥ 8:07pm mariano: Ooh! Great song. Dirt Bombs do an epic cover of it too.
	8:07pm rich the greeb: This show is just the tonic I needed!
	8:07pm Becky: Bryce, I hope not too. I sure hope not too.
	8:07pm y_ddraig_las: This show is the tonic we all need
	8:07pm Becky: For the record, I was right to be upset! That panned out!
	♥ 8:08pm Mr. Fine Wine: The upset was warranted.
	♥ 8:08pm brycepunk1: Absolutely, you did. I was just as upset but I didn't have radio show to do. Respect.
	8:08pm Richard S: If there's one thing I think we can all agree on, it's LET'S NOT DO THIS EVER AGAIN.
	8:11pm ericd: Thank you Detroit City, thank you Becky for this show tonight!
	8:11pm y_ddraig_las: The UK has had so many depressing elections and referendums recently, we feel your pain.
	8:11pm rich the greeb: Man now I’m really missing dark basement bar dance parties. That’s what I need. Beer and sweat spilling on me.
	♥ 8:12pm Yes: :) :) :)
	8:12pm Becky: Oh boy, rich. Me too. So much.
	♥ 8:12pm Handy Haversack: It's all sirens and helicopters outside in Brooklyn, so 2020 continues unabated.
	8:12pm Becky: By the way, if you hear a quick cut to Jackie Wilson this hour, it means we've had a call. In tribute to Joe's walk-off music last night. :)
	🎸 ♥ 8:14pm ultradamno: Actually, if we had known...the upset was probably low.
	♥ 8:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ooooh, an excellent Isleys I haven't heard in ages!!
	8:17pm Tank Top: Great song! I have the 45.
	♥ 8:18pm Gaylord Fields: Tonight I am smitten with the Mitten!
	♥ 8:18pm Mr. Fine Wine: Also done by the Supremes.
	8:21pm Saltonstall: Denny used to play gigs at the Shorthorn in Flint just a few blocks south of the crime scene known by as Pete Flander’s Musical Memories
	♥ 8:21pm Mr. Fine Wine: I can vouch!
	♥ 8:22pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ha, you don't like that record store much?
	8:22pm Richard S: GO TIGERS!
	8:22pm Becky: THE MAILMAN HIMSELF SAID DETROIT IS HAPPENING
	♥ 8:23pm Gaylord Fields: Becky, If you have a Gates Brown promo, I just might plotz!
	♥ 8:23pm listener 126464: roaming charges may apply
	♥ 8:23pm Mr. Fine Wine: Slugging outfielder Willie Horton, all us kids' favorite Tiger at Hampton Elementary School!
	8:23pm P-90: “Detroit is happening”: oh yes it is
	♥ 8:23pm Handy Haversack: Dialing now ... I assume it's 313?
	8:23pm Richard S: I wonder if that number is still valid....
	8:24pm P-90: Tons of ballots in from Detroit
	♥ 8:25pm mariano: Becky: a few years back here in NOLA, my cousin, who normally waits tables, filled in for someone as a cocktail server at the Jazz Playhouse, a dark, cozy little lounge in the Quarter attached to the hotel where she works. It was a Sunday night, hardly anyone there, and she texted me all excited to tell me Stevie Wonder was quietly playing a set with a couple of friends. I'll try to find the couple of pics she took.
	8:27pm Becky: WOW mariano!
	♥ 8:27pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whoa, mariano!
	♥ 8:27pm Mr. Fine Wine: I can't stay no mo' in De-Ho-Co!
	8:27pm Becky: haha ma-rone
	♥ 8:27pm Gaylord Fields: Okay, this Nay-Dog song about DeHoCo ties in with Gates Brown.
	♥ 8:28pm Mr. Fine Wine: Did the Gater serve time, Gaylord??
	♥ 8:29pm Gaylord Fields: Yup, a short stint for burglary, in Ohio, I believe, where he was discovered by scouts.
	8:30pm y_ddraig_las: This is lovely
	♥ 8:33pm Mr. Fine Wine: Precursor to Ron LeFlore!
	♥ 8:34pm Mr. Fine Wine: LeFlore was a burglar on the basepaths.
	8:34pm Richard S: mmm... pork chops....
	8:34pm Saltonstall: @Fine Wine- Dude is a bootlegger and he knowingly sells stolen records. My best friend- an engineer and DJ at WFBE- had his entire collection stolen from a storage unit. His names were on many of the sleeves FPD. Pete denied it and cops were no help. He then moved most of the rare stuff to the back room. My friend sent other friends to MM so they could buy back some of his records.
	♥ 8:35pm Gaylord Fields: But Denny McLain got his pinstriped uni post-career.
	♥ 8:36pm Mr. Fine Wine: Saltonstall: Oh, shit. I wonder if I have ended up with any of that stuff. I have shopped there the past few years (not this year) and found good stuff in that back room and in his office.
	♥ 8:37pm Mr. Fine Wine: Mickey Lolich's only crimes were at the dinner table.
	8:37pm Saltonstall: Fat Cat sucks. It probably was his collection. His Michigan hip hop demo collection included dozens of ungoogleable tapes. They might be at MM too
	♥ 8:38pm Mr. Fine Wine: Do you live in the Flint area, Saltonstall?
	8:39pm Saltonstall: Next time you’re in Flint cruise by the ancestral home of Rick Leach. First house on southside of W. Court St when you enter from Flint Twp
	8:39pm Saltonstall: No longer... ain’t no work there
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ha, I actually attended a Michigan game when Leach was QB.
	♥ 8:40pm Mr. Fine Wine: Can't say that's a big draw for me, frankly.
	8:41pm Becky: Damn is this record good.
	♥ 8:41pm Mr. Fine Wine: In previous years I would drive up to Traverse City every July then on the way back to Detroit stop at the record store in question.
	8:41pm Saltonstall: My dad worked with Rick’s dad. Dick Leach was him nameo. Not to brag, but I gotta few autographed pictures the Mighty Colt
	♥ 8:42pm Mr. Fine Wine: Melvin!
	8:42pm Saltonstall: Did you ever visit Rarebird Records?
	♥ 8:42pm Mr. Fine Wine: Edward, I mean!
	8:42pm Becky: McKinley!
	♥ 8:43pm Mr. Fine Wine: No, Saltonstall. I don't know that place. Are you still in Michigan?
	8:43pm Becky: Let's shout more Detroit people! Brad!
	♥ 8:43pm mariano: Aha, found one of the Stevie pics! photos.app.goo.gl...
	♥ 8:43pm Mr. Fine Wine: Jeff! Thibodeau! Betty!
	♥ 8:43pm mariano: photos.app.goo.gl...
	♥ 8:45pm Gaylord Fields: Mr. & Mrs. Stubbs sure spawned a coupla guys who could sing!
	♥ 8:46pm Mr. Fine Wine: So true, Gaylord.
	♥ 8:46pm Mr. Fine Wine: Mariano: Is that bar still there?
	8:48pm Saltonstall: I’m in Chicago now- walking distance from the Record Dugout. Location, location, location
	8:48pm Saltonstall: Do you tune in to Grammy Hampy when you’re in TC?
	♥ 8:49pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ben Hamper?
	♥ 8:49pm Mr. Fine Wine: I never have, but I had some beers with him a couple years ago!
	8:49pm Saltonstall: I figured you might know Ben
	♥ 8:50pm Handy Haversack: Mr. FW, my mom's people are from Oceana Co. Moved into Muskegon during WWII. Her brother and sister still own the forty acres of farmland in NE Oceana Co., and every damn year except this disaster of one, Kate and I go out there to see my aunt and uncle and spend a week on "the Farm," which is no longer working at all but has a more-or-less functional house on it (in the summer, at least) and 18,000 wild Xmas trees from a lessee who disappeared. We keep an aluminum canoe there and spend the week just putting it in different lakes and rivers every day. It definitely occupies a lot of the territory of my heart. My aunt's ninety-three and my uncle in his late seventies, and it's really killing me to not be able to see them (and the land) this year. Though Aunt Donna did just send cookies and banana bread!
	8:50pm dug: supercool !!!!
	♥ 8:50pm Mr. Fine Wine: I knew his book way before I knew him personally. Nice, I was at Dugout once a million years ago. My friend Andy just opened a new store in Chicago, We Buy Records.
	8:51pm Saltonstall: Ben is a sweet dude and my first DJ crush
	♥ 8:51pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying this show sooooo much
	8:51pm Saltonstall: We Buy? Where?
	♥ 8:51pm Gaylord Fields: Becky, Gino is such a coward that I subbed for him at two different gigs he backed out of!
	♥ 8:52pm Mr. Fine Wine: Handy: I don't know that area so well. But Michigan is paradise for lakes and rivers. And I'm in a similar situation, unable to visit my mom in Detroit for the longest duration ever in my life.
	8:53pm Rehanna: Man I remember listening to this show four years ago and and all the emotions! ! ! Can't believe this troll has been in office for four years.
	♥ 8:53pm Mr. Fine Wine: Mike Terry puts in some time on this Supremes record!
	8:54pm Saltonstall: I want to take my mom to visit the art galleries in Flint. Yes, Flints got a number of great art galleries.
	♥ 8:54pm Mr. Fine Wine: Tallest soul singer? Melvin Davis is around six nine or so.
	♥ 8:55pm Gaylord Fields: Melvin is THE BEST! What a great guy!! And yeah, he's a long drink o' water!
	♥ 8:55pm Mr. Fine Wine: I believe you, Saltonstall!
	8:55pm Saltonstall: @Handy- Muskegon was home to one of the oldest all-ages punks venues in US- The Icepick!
	♥ 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Rough times, Mr. FW. We have a really close friend in Ypsi we usually get to see, too. Kate and I met at U of M getting MFAs, so there are multiple connections. Michigan (problematic as it is just like every damn place) is a special place, too. Very important to us. So this show is just really hitting the old heart, Becky. Deep, deep thanks. And to Sceleton Scott, of course, too. Be well, Tonkans! @Saltonstall -- I have been there!
	8:57pm Saltonstall: You’ve been to The Icepick?!?!
	8:57pm Becky: I love you all! Thanks, Handy.
	♥ 8:58pm mariano: Thank you Becky, what a fun show! Thanks as always Skeleton Crew. Let's go crash efd's!
	8:58pm nachurall: Thank you honky tonk girl!
	♥ 8:58pm Mr. Fine Wine: Damn did Mary Wells keep making great records after leaving Motown.
	8:58pm Saltonstall: Thanks for the spirit lifting show and Michigan gab session!
	♥ 8:59pm listener 126464: Thanks Becky, FMU crew.
	♥ 9:00pm Mr. Fine Wine: Recommend, when the dust clears, the Traverse City Film Festival as a Michigan destination.
	9:00pm y_ddraig_las: Thanks to Becky and the Skeleton Crew for a show we all needed. Nos da
	♥ 9:00pm Handy Haversack: Saltonstall, I have gone to Muskegon every year since I was fifteen, and I'm not young!
	9:01pm Saltonstall: The city where pity runs low!
