WFMU: Ira: Playlist from November 24, 2020

Listener comments!
	9:03pm tempohouse: First! Sounding great here in Wellington NZ, pretending to be working on a grey afternoon :)
	9:03pm BH: 3 of 4 board members have voted to certify Ira's show
	9:06pm TDK60: Hi Ira, I haven't been to a mall in years, should be fun..
	9:06pm Ira: Good evening, or afternoon, as the case may be. Glad to have you here today, or tomorrow, as the case may be.
	9:06pm greg g: Good Evening Everyone I have to step out of the shadows to testify. I remember four years ago when a friend posted about David Bowie being a guest DJ on BBC in 1979 (see below). I listened to the recording and thought how wonderful it was and how amazing it must have been to actually listen to it live in 1979. However, the Thin White Duke has nothing on Ira the K for on air diligence, quality or insightful wry commentary. For months now our host has been bringing the noise and melody to our domiciles in our cloistered bubbles. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the upcoming change of administration and optimistic reports of probable vaccines, but thank you Ira and Georgia for helping us stay grounded and uplifted during this strange time! www.factmag.com...
	9:07pm Ira: Years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Todd-o-phonic Todd and Mr. and Mrs. Ira the K took in Bad Santa at the Newport Mall in Jersey City, where rats (in fairness, may have been only one rat) were running around the theater.
	9:08pm Rick G: Thanks for the three hours each Tuesday, Ira-with a tiny snippet at the beginning of Dave Chang’s podcast, ha.
	9:08pm Ira: Thank you, Greg G!
	9:09pm Bruce: Greetings from Portland OR
	9:09pm TDK60: ..do malls still have organ stores? You could stop in and try the funny sounds on a grand-dad type home organ.
	9:10pm Ira: @TDK60: Back when we marveled at a drum machine. What would they think of next?
	9:10pm greg g: your welcome Ira ! & also please don't let my wife know how many record purchases your show has prompted
	9:13pm Joeybug69: This is the content I’m here for. (Or did I mistakenly eat a piece of moldy rye bread??)
	9:15pm Ira: The mold's where all the vitamins are.
	9:16pm Jason From Baker Street: I believe it's the only known source of Vitamin M
	9:16pm Scott Williams: @TDK60, I've been obsessed with mall organ stores for years! I remember them well, but the internet still doesn't have 'em in the index file.
	9:16pm listener 126464: Hi Ira & associates, everyone. Heads up for non-flying turkeys.
	9:17pm Shane the D: Tonight I'm thankful for Ira and his producer spinning tunes for me and expanding my musical horizons. There's been a fair amount of chaos and darkness in the country lately, especially this past year, but there are always rays of light peeking through, and this show (strangely?) brings me a little peace of mind on Tuesday nights. I never would have guessed that an east coast radio show would become a part of my weekly routine, but here we are. Cheers to you all from Denver.
	9:19pm Ira: Thank you so much, Shane the D. It's been such a pleasure getting to do these shows, and to chitchat with the commenters.
	9:19pm WFMU listener John: Hello fellow listeners
	9:21pm Slaboch: "I don't know about you, but I'm DIGGING this weird ass show." - Penny cooking in the kitchen
	9:21pm TDK60: Scott, hehee. Sort of "square" places but with the potential for "funny sounds." I had a feeling they'd be fading out.
	9:21pm Jedley: The weird came early tonight! I'm all for it... it's 5 o'clock somewhere
	9:22pm Ira: My producer suggested I open with it, or maybe it was a dare, or maybe I made the whole thing up.
	9:23pm Rick G: Very “third hour” vibes here :)
	9:24pm Ira: Counterprogramming to Yesterday's Numbers.
	9:24pm Slaboch: It sounds great! Love it!
	9:25pm Ira: Love coming right up!
	9:26pm Libby’s mom: Is this the companion piece to Mr. Lee Steiner, hypnotist lady from a couple weeks ago?
	9:26pm Joeybug69: It sure beats the numbers stations on the short wave. Unless this is the modern version of that.
	9:26pm Libby’s mom: Rather, Mrs. Lee Steiner
	9:27pm Georgia: You don’t think Todd’s got this jam going on his show right now? Or this one..?
	9:27pm Threemoons: Heyo. Gotta get off my butt and hit the greenmarket...
	9:28pm patrick321: Hey Ira! Digging the Love.
	9:28pm Ira: I haven't smoked a cigarette since playing that Mrs. Lee Steiner record. Of course, I never smoked one before playing it, but still . . .
	9:33pm Richy4619: ♫♪♩ヾ(*◎○◎)ﾉ♫♪♩
	9:33pm Libby’s mom: @Ira - please don’t start! Expensive and stinky, plus might make it hard to hit those delicate notes.
	9:36pm Ira: @Richy4619: You took the words right out of my mouth! @Libby's mom: Not a chance. Although the opportunity to blame not hitting delicate notes on something other than myself might make it worth considering.
	9:36pm Kramrellim: Is the Pinedale Shopping Mall from the WKRP Thanksgiving episode?
	9:39pm MaRRRk Weiss: She like the way i IRRRA!!!
	9:40pm leshwatt: Wohoo!!
	9:40pm phat: @Ira my singing range was actually better when I smoked. I'm glad I quit, though.
	9:40pm Paper Moog: She throw it back like FeRRRis Booya!!!
	9:40pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, everyone!
	9:41pm Paper Moog: She like the way i moog
	9:44pm Paper Moog: Christian geor geor
	9:48pm ZeeBee: Tuning in, gotta get my mind off the family Thanksgiving drama about whether to see my parents or not. WFMU is always here for me and for that I am thankful!
	9:48pm Paper Moog: She let it clap for n—- j——-
	9:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Georgia: Are you keeping tabs on me???
	9:48pm TDK60: You did some blues, huh. Country rock? Poco? Hard rock? Slade?
	9:50pm Ira: No Slade (sadly). Is "Lost in the Ozone" country rock? If so, then yes.
	9:50pm spodiodi: hi Ira and everyone
	9:50pm TDK60: Yeh ha ha, Commander Cody?
	9:51pm Georgia: @toddaphonic: always
	9:52pm ZeeBee: I went for a three hour walk this afternoon, nice clouds rolling over town, neon orange sunset, got stoned under a bridge, passed very few others. the time got away from me.
	9:53pm tempohouse: Thanks for the Snapper - still miss that guy.
	9:54pm Jon: ZB, that sounds perfect
	9:55pm Ira: @tempohouse: got to see a Peter Gutteridge solo performance in Dunedin years ago, on a bill with Sandra Bell and Alistair Galbraith. Impossible to overstate how adverse the performing conditions were for this magical evening.
	9:57pm phat: Bob and Ray... just so soothing
	10:00pm Libby’s mom: Will miss spending part of Hanukkah with you guys...maybe you would have covered ‘City Dump’?
	10:00pm Piddles: City Dump!
	10:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Finally! Now I can listen to some real music for a change!
	10:01pm Ira: @Libby's mom: Not that likely, unless Dyke's last name is Rosenberg.
	10:02pm chresti: Hello! Lurking in the kitchen and bed.
	10:04pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti
	10:06pm chresti: Hi spodi \\ //
	10:07pm spodiodi: \\// nice cat!
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: Okay, okay, I promise not to miss the Party Girls.
	10:07pm mariano: To be fair, life would be much sexier with this type of music playing constantly in the background.
	10:08pm Scott Williams: Holy canolli, that segue form Party Girls to the creepiest yet sweetest Steely Dan tune of them all!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: ace segue there
	10:08pm phat: I think I miss the party girls.
	10:08pm glennfromglendale: Howdy y’all, I didn’t happen to miss the party girls did I?
	10:08pm mariano: Remember that part of "Kentucky Fried Movie" sending up "Party Girls"-type trailers, "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble"?
	10:08pm javakid: @Kat agreed
	10:09pm chresti: Thanks, that's Frisky, one of the family cats that came to California with us.
	10:09pm Ira: Thanks for your segue comments, but anything into this song would sound good!
	10:10pm chresti: Haha Kat. @10:07
	10:10pm Kat in Chicago: the suburban sleaze factor was the secret ingredient
	10:11pm Ira: @Kat in Chicago: That's what Heatwave had going for us as well.
	10:12pm Kat in Chicago: I came in late, Ira. Looks like I will have some catching up to do on this archive.
	10:13pm Bruce: This is soooooo... great.
	10:13pm ZeeBee: turning up, sitting back
	10:14pm mariano: Lambchop has come a long way since the Shari Lewis era.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: snicker
	10:15pm chresti: Haha mariano.
	10:17pm javakid: Awww, Mr. Ed
	10:22pm mariano: Thank you, Kat and chresti, I'm here all week, don't forget to tip the DJ and board op!
	10:25pm javakid: I see what you've just done there
	10:25pm Joe B: great version!
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: That was ELO? I thought it was Robert Pollard with the string section from Eleanor Rigby. or something.
	10:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Very ver Roy Wood. I luff him
	10:26pm Ira: @javakid: Wait till you hear the Peggy Lee song that comes next! @Kat in Chicago: It's the first ELO record, when Roy Wood is in the group. That was a Roy Wood song.
	10:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: There's gonna be a showdown between Roy Wood and Bev Bevan.
	10:27pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, OK. Obviously I don't know that first record!
	10:29pm Tim in NC: haha i kept coming in with the opening words of the Eleanor Rigby verses by instinct, the first note's the same and everything! had never heard that either, great tune
	10:30pm Ira: The ending to the ELO song sounds exactly like Village Green to me.
	10:31pm Bobby K: I generally feel better in here. Thanks, Ira.
	10:31pm Jedley: Oooh we're all dating
	10:36pm Tim in NC: J.J. Jackson is the original songwriter!
	10:37pm Joe B: JJ wrote it but I think his recording came out after the Pretty Things? TOPT?
	10:37pm Tim in NC: yeah
	10:38pm javakid: happy to hear any show that ends with K
	10:40pm prguitar: Duane's Uncle!!
	10:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I'm not sure of the genealogy, but I can tell you that John Thomas does a soul version on the Veep label that many consider better than JJ Jackson's. And by many I mean at least 2 people.
	10:41pm chresti: Joe Harriot, I think?
	10:43pm prguitar: Glad to be here for a while Ira. Looks like it's been a fabulous show so far!
	10:44pm chresti: Okay, on my way to the bed portion of lurking. Thanks Ira, glad I popped in! Goodnight everyone!
	10:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I’m glad it’s only 7:45 in California so I can hear the whole show
	10:47pm John L: Speaking of reggae, I just watched the first film in the Small Axe anthology series by filmmaker Steve McQueen. So far so great. Covers the 70s/80s West Indian experience in England and has a great soundtrack. I read that the next episode has some Small Faces alongside reggae and soul. On Amazon.
	10:47pm Ira: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: And still have plenty of time to prepare for Mannix!
	10:49pm mariano: That sounds really interesting, John L, thanks for the recommendation.
	10:52pm Roger: I am enjoying this show immensely
	10:52pm slugluv1313: greetings, Ira and Skeleton Crew and Everyone! been listening/lurking, loving the tunes -- DAMN! that Jeff & Janet tune sure is purty!!! kinda reminds me a bit of "Don't Cry Now" era Linda Ronstadt
	10:53pm Joe B: hey John!
	10:53pm Chop Scott: Mannix? Yes!
	10:53pm mariano: Belated good night, chresti.
	10:54pm John L: Hey Joe!!!
	10:55pm Ira: @Chop Scott: Mannix, yes indeed! The only negative word I have to say about Joe Belock's Shakey Street tribute to Neil Young was that he didn't include Buffalo Springfield's Mannix appearance.
	10:56pm SeanG: Hey Roger! DDR!
	10:57pm Chop Scott: @Ira: 2 am is hot toast time!
	11:05pm Joe B: I wish that Mannix Springfield jam was available without the dialogue over it!
	11:06pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Every cover I hear of “No Good to Cry” reconfirms what a powerhouse performance young Al Anderson dropped on the original. Some cool covers, but Wild Weeds never equalled.
	11:08pm Ira: @Dungaroos Kipwah: I don't disagree. But I love hearing each and every version. Was not aware of the song until seeing NRBQ play it during a magic box segment at the Bottom Line. A real eye-opener.
	11:08pm Dungaroos Kipawah: That Mannix/Springfield ep is the best, save the one where Rip Torn holds Mannix & family hostage
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: Weird wild stuff, this Frank Wright
	11:09pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I’m with you re “No Good to Cry”, just a perfect song, always like to hear what ppl do w it.
	11:10pm Ira: @Joe B.: If I read between the lines, you're suggesting that the rumor that Gail Fisher was being considered as Bruce Palmer's replacement was groundless?
	11:11pm John L: What album is this Frank Wright on? I tried Google and nothing is coming up. Google, you're fired!!!
	11:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Frank Wright is starting to sound like The Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
	11:11pm Slaboch: @John L https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Wright-Run-With-The-Cowboys/release/1211430
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I had to run the search with -lloyd added to get results.
	11:12pm Ira: @T-o-p: They had similar tastes in hats.
	11:12pm Threemoons: Heyo. Just got back from late-night greenmarket run. Uncrowded but we still had the Mandatory Asshole Who Refused to Wear a Mask. The only checkout person was an older woman, and the guys stacking produce dropped hints but didn't want a fight...
	11:13pm John L: Thanks, Slaboch. Wow, that's a tad pricey!!!
	11:14pm Slaboch: That Frank Wright track was fantastic. On a similar tip the archival video Mondays with Milford Graves series has been incredible via his ICA show but unfortunately get pulled with each new week's video so don't delay!
	11:16pm Joe B: re Gail Fisher - didn't she play with them at Monterey Pop?
	11:16pm Ira: Was introduced to Frank Wright at the New Orleans Jazz Fest: a mind-bending tribute to Albert Ayler w/FW, Kidd Jordan, Dewey Redman and Sunny Murray.
	11:16pm Ira: @Joe B.: Yes, and Jim McGuinn was irate!
	11:16pm Joe B: her manic mannix rantings from the stage was too much!
	11:18pm scobot: My Three Sons!
	11:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Crazy footage of The Yellow Balloon at Anaheim Stadium via Shebang: www.youtube.com...
	11:24pm Georgia: What is the music you’re talking over?
	11:25pm Ira: That would be my mashup of the end of the Bonzo Dog Band's Jokeshop Man and John Hubley's Mr. Magoo. Thanks for asking!
	11:26pm P-90: Wow... 1967. Far out man.
	11:29pm P-90: “Shebang!”
	11:32pm Ira: On further review, that should've been Joke Shop Man.
	11:41pm Rick G: “Road Hog!”
	11:54pm ultradamno: Leave the room to grab a bite and look at some news and come back to see you hippies zoning out to this, not a care in the world.
	11:54pm Jedley: This one flew by!
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you Ira and Scott, 'night all!
	11:55pm Slaboch: Great show Ira!
	11:55pm spodiodi: thanks a lot, Ira! see all you party girls and guys next time
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Scott
	11:56pm Ira: Thanks, everybody. Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe! Don't be the Mandatory Asshole Who Refused to Wear a Mask. I'll be here next week, and I hope you will be as well.
	11:57pm Scott Williams: Forever thankful for Richard & Linda. Thanks Ira and radio pals!
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks for skeletoning, Scott! Thank you for a lovely pre-holiday time, Ira.
	11:59pm Joe B: thanks Ira
	11:59pm Jedley: Happy Thanksgiving, Ira and team!
	11:59pm Scott Williams: 12 seconds to spare!
	12:00am Stevel: Stick a fork in him!
	12:00am Ira: And to think I had that Descendents song all cued up!
	12:01am prguitar: Thanks Ira! What a great show! You and Georgia have a good holiday.. will tune in next week. Take good care.
	12:12pm 12539: Thanks, Ira! Good work.
	11:03pm philip: please help. from 00:38, is it some song? what song it is if so?
	11:05am Brad M.: Is the Whit Boyd song from a 7"? Can't find anything on Discogs.

	9:27pm Threemoons: Heyo. Gotta get off my butt and hit the greenmarket...
	9:28pm patrick321: Hey Ira! Digging the Love.
	9:28pm Ira: I haven't smoked a cigarette since playing that Mrs. Lee Steiner record. Of course, I never smoked one before playing it, but still . . .
	9:33pm Richy4619: ♫♪♩ヾ(*◎○◎)ﾉ♫♪♩
	9:33pm Libby’s mom: @Ira - please don’t start! Expensive and stinky, plus might make it hard to hit those delicate notes.
	9:36pm Ira: @Richy4619: You took the words right out of my mouth! @Libby's mom: Not a chance. Although the opportunity to blame not hitting delicate notes on something other than myself might make it worth considering.
	9:36pm Kramrellim: Is the Pinedale Shopping Mall from the WKRP Thanksgiving episode?
	9:39pm MaRRRk Weiss: She like the way i IRRRA!!!
	9:40pm leshwatt: Wohoo!!
	9:40pm phat: @Ira my singing range was actually better when I smoked. I'm glad I quit, though.
	9:40pm Paper Moog: She throw it back like FeRRRis Booya!!!
	9:40pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, everyone!
	9:41pm Paper Moog: She like the way i moog
	9:44pm Paper Moog: Christian geor geor
	9:48pm ZeeBee: Tuning in, gotta get my mind off the family Thanksgiving drama about whether to see my parents or not. WFMU is always here for me and for that I am thankful!
	9:48pm Paper Moog: She let it clap for n—- j——-
	9:48pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Georgia: Are you keeping tabs on me???
	9:48pm TDK60: You did some blues, huh. Country rock? Poco? Hard rock? Slade?
	9:50pm Ira: No Slade (sadly). Is "Lost in the Ozone" country rock? If so, then yes.
	9:50pm spodiodi: hi Ira and everyone
	9:50pm TDK60: Yeh ha ha, Commander Cody?
	9:51pm Georgia: @toddaphonic: always
	9:52pm ZeeBee: I went for a three hour walk this afternoon, nice clouds rolling over town, neon orange sunset, got stoned under a bridge, passed very few others. the time got away from me.
	9:53pm tempohouse: Thanks for the Snapper - still miss that guy.
	9:54pm Jon: ZB, that sounds perfect
	9:55pm Ira: @tempohouse: got to see a Peter Gutteridge solo performance in Dunedin years ago, on a bill with Sandra Bell and Alistair Galbraith. Impossible to overstate how adverse the performing conditions were for this magical evening.
	9:57pm phat: Bob and Ray... just so soothing
	10:00pm Libby’s mom: Will miss spending part of Hanukkah with you guys...maybe you would have covered ‘City Dump’?
	10:00pm Piddles: City Dump!
	10:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Finally! Now I can listen to some real music for a change!
	10:01pm Ira: @Libby's mom: Not that likely, unless Dyke's last name is Rosenberg.
	10:02pm chresti: Hello! Lurking in the kitchen and bed.
	10:04pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti
	10:06pm chresti: Hi spodi \\ //
	10:07pm spodiodi: \\// nice cat!
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: Okay, okay, I promise not to miss the Party Girls.
	10:07pm mariano: To be fair, life would be much sexier with this type of music playing constantly in the background.
	10:08pm Scott Williams: Holy canolli, that segue form Party Girls to the creepiest yet sweetest Steely Dan tune of them all!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: ace segue there
	10:08pm phat: I think I miss the party girls.
	10:08pm glennfromglendale: Howdy y’all, I didn’t happen to miss the party girls did I?
	10:08pm mariano: Remember that part of "Kentucky Fried Movie" sending up "Party Girls"-type trailers, "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble"?
	10:08pm javakid: @Kat agreed
	10:09pm chresti: Thanks, that's Frisky, one of the family cats that came to California with us.
	10:09pm Ira: Thanks for your segue comments, but anything into this song would sound good!
	10:10pm chresti: Haha Kat. @10:07
	10:10pm Kat in Chicago: the suburban sleaze factor was the secret ingredient
	10:11pm Ira: @Kat in Chicago: That's what Heatwave had going for us as well.
	10:12pm Kat in Chicago: I came in late, Ira. Looks like I will have some catching up to do on this archive.
	10:13pm Bruce: This is soooooo... great.
	10:13pm ZeeBee: turning up, sitting back
	10:14pm mariano: Lambchop has come a long way since the Shari Lewis era.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: snicker
	10:15pm chresti: Haha mariano.
	10:17pm javakid: Awww, Mr. Ed
	10:22pm mariano: Thank you, Kat and chresti, I'm here all week, don't forget to tip the DJ and board op!
	10:25pm javakid: I see what you've just done there
	10:25pm Joe B: great version!
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: That was ELO? I thought it was Robert Pollard with the string section from Eleanor Rigby. or something.
	10:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Very ver Roy Wood. I luff him
	10:26pm Ira: @javakid: Wait till you hear the Peggy Lee song that comes next! @Kat in Chicago: It's the first ELO record, when Roy Wood is in the group. That was a Roy Wood song.
	10:27pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: There's gonna be a showdown between Roy Wood and Bev Bevan.
	10:27pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, OK. Obviously I don't know that first record!
	10:29pm Tim in NC: haha i kept coming in with the opening words of the Eleanor Rigby verses by instinct, the first note's the same and everything! had never heard that either, great tune
	10:30pm Ira: The ending to the ELO song sounds exactly like Village Green to me.
	10:31pm Bobby K: I generally feel better in here. Thanks, Ira.
	10:31pm Jedley: Oooh we're all dating
	10:36pm Tim in NC: J.J. Jackson is the original songwriter!
	10:37pm Joe B: JJ wrote it but I think his recording came out after the Pretty Things? TOPT?
	10:37pm Tim in NC: yeah
	10:38pm javakid: happy to hear any show that ends with K
	10:40pm prguitar: Duane's Uncle!!
	10:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I'm not sure of the genealogy, but I can tell you that John Thomas does a soul version on the Veep label that many consider better than JJ Jackson's. And by many I mean at least 2 people.
	10:41pm chresti: Joe Harriot, I think?
	10:43pm prguitar: Glad to be here for a while Ira. Looks like it's been a fabulous show so far!
	10:44pm chresti: Okay, on my way to the bed portion of lurking. Thanks Ira, glad I popped in! Goodnight everyone!
	10:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I’m glad it’s only 7:45 in California so I can hear the whole show
	10:47pm John L: Speaking of reggae, I just watched the first film in the Small Axe anthology series by filmmaker Steve McQueen. So far so great. Covers the 70s/80s West Indian experience in England and has a great soundtrack. I read that the next episode has some Small Faces alongside reggae and soul. On Amazon.
	10:47pm Ira: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: And still have plenty of time to prepare for Mannix!
	10:49pm mariano: That sounds really interesting, John L, thanks for the recommendation.
	10:52pm Roger: I am enjoying this show immensely
	10:52pm slugluv1313: greetings, Ira and Skeleton Crew and Everyone! been listening/lurking, loving the tunes -- DAMN! that Jeff & Janet tune sure is purty!!! kinda reminds me a bit of "Don't Cry Now" era Linda Ronstadt
	10:53pm Joe B: hey John!
	10:53pm Chop Scott: Mannix? Yes!
	10:53pm mariano: Belated good night, chresti.
	10:54pm John L: Hey Joe!!!
	10:55pm Ira: @Chop Scott: Mannix, yes indeed! The only negative word I have to say about Joe Belock's Shakey Street tribute to Neil Young was that he didn't include Buffalo Springfield's Mannix appearance.
	10:56pm SeanG: Hey Roger! DDR!
	10:57pm Chop Scott: @Ira: 2 am is hot toast time!
	11:05pm Joe B: I wish that Mannix Springfield jam was available without the dialogue over it!
	11:06pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Every cover I hear of “No Good to Cry” reconfirms what a powerhouse performance young Al Anderson dropped on the original. Some cool covers, but Wild Weeds never equalled.
	11:08pm Ira: @Dungaroos Kipwah: I don't disagree. But I love hearing each and every version. Was not aware of the song until seeing NRBQ play it during a magic box segment at the Bottom Line. A real eye-opener.
	11:08pm Dungaroos Kipawah: That Mannix/Springfield ep is the best, save the one where Rip Torn holds Mannix & family hostage
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: Weird wild stuff, this Frank Wright
	11:09pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I’m with you re “No Good to Cry”, just a perfect song, always like to hear what ppl do w it.
	11:10pm Ira: @Joe B.: If I read between the lines, you're suggesting that the rumor that Gail Fisher was being considered as Bruce Palmer's replacement was groundless?
	11:11pm John L: What album is this Frank Wright on? I tried Google and nothing is coming up. Google, you're fired!!!
	11:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Frank Wright is starting to sound like The Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
	11:11pm Slaboch: @John L https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Wright-Run-With-The-Cowboys/release/1211430
	11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I had to run the search with -lloyd added to get results.
	11:12pm Ira: @T-o-p: They had similar tastes in hats.
	11:12pm Threemoons: Heyo. Just got back from late-night greenmarket run. Uncrowded but we still had the Mandatory Asshole Who Refused to Wear a Mask. The only checkout person was an older woman, and the guys stacking produce dropped hints but didn't want a fight...
	11:13pm John L: Thanks, Slaboch. Wow, that's a tad pricey!!!
	11:14pm Slaboch: That Frank Wright track was fantastic. On a similar tip the archival video Mondays with Milford Graves series has been incredible via his ICA show but unfortunately get pulled with each new week's video so don't delay!
	11:16pm Joe B: re Gail Fisher - didn't she play with them at Monterey Pop?
	11:16pm Ira: Was introduced to Frank Wright at the New Orleans Jazz Fest: a mind-bending tribute to Albert Ayler w/FW, Kidd Jordan, Dewey Redman and Sunny Murray.
	11:16pm Ira: @Joe B.: Yes, and Jim McGuinn was irate!
	11:16pm Joe B: her manic mannix rantings from the stage was too much!
	11:18pm scobot: My Three Sons!
	11:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Crazy footage of The Yellow Balloon at Anaheim Stadium via Shebang: www.youtube.com...
	11:24pm Georgia: What is the music you’re talking over?
	11:25pm Ira: That would be my mashup of the end of the Bonzo Dog Band's Jokeshop Man and John Hubley's Mr. Magoo. Thanks for asking!
	11:26pm P-90: Wow... 1967. Far out man.
	11:29pm P-90: “Shebang!”
	11:32pm Ira: On further review, that should've been Joke Shop Man.
	11:41pm Rick G: “Road Hog!”
	11:54pm ultradamno: Leave the room to grab a bite and look at some news and come back to see you hippies zoning out to this, not a care in the world.
	11:54pm Jedley: This one flew by!
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you Ira and Scott, 'night all!
	11:55pm Slaboch: Great show Ira!
	11:55pm spodiodi: thanks a lot, Ira! see all you party girls and guys next time
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Scott
	11:56pm Ira: Thanks, everybody. Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe! Don't be the Mandatory Asshole Who Refused to Wear a Mask. I'll be here next week, and I hope you will be as well.
	11:57pm Scott Williams: Forever thankful for Richard & Linda. Thanks Ira and radio pals!
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks for skeletoning, Scott! Thank you for a lovely pre-holiday time, Ira.
	11:59pm Joe B: thanks Ira
	11:59pm Jedley: Happy Thanksgiving, Ira and team!
	11:59pm Scott Williams: 12 seconds to spare!
	12:00am Stevel: Stick a fork in him!
	12:00am Ira: And to think I had that Descendents song all cued up!
	12:01am prguitar: Thanks Ira! What a great show! You and Georgia have a good holiday.. will tune in next week. Take good care.
	12:12pm 12539: Thanks, Ira! Good work.
	11:03pm philip: please help. from 00:38, is it some song? what song it is if so?
	11:05am Brad M.: Is the Whit Boyd song from a 7"? Can't find anything on Discogs.
