WFMU: Ira: Playlist from December 1, 2020

Listener comments!
	♥ 9:02pm Fuzzy: Turn me on, K man!
	9:03pm Chris Butler: Festive cheer to one and all :)
	9:04pm BH: We're now in December, Congrats to everybody.
	♥ 9:04pm Roberto: I tried reversing a cassette recording of Revolution #9 when I was about 14 and it didn't sound anything like "turn me on, dead man."
	9:05pm Jedley: Is this show dedicated to ~50 million of our neighbors and family members?
	♥ 9:06pm Ira: @Roberto: I was more open to suggestion than you were. I heard "Turn me on, dead man," clear as could be, and was 3/4 convinced that Paul was dead. Still not 100% sure he didn't die in the '60s.
	♥ 9:06pm Ira: @Jedley: They all are!
	♥ 9:06pm McGroovey: One up-vote for Fugs
	9:07pm Rick G: Cheerful December Ira and all. Happy birthday to Marty Crouton, the cow from Squirrelwood Sanctuary in NY. Adorable social media account: @m_crouton
	♥ 9:08pm Roberto: To me it sounded like "neeyon duh muh"
	♥ 9:08pm Fuzzy: I reversed it via MP# on the family PC back in the 90's -- I can hear "turn me on dedman" clear as day. Spooky!
	♥ 9:09pm Ira: @Roberto: Exactly!
	♥ 9:09pm Fuzzy: MP3
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More Musical than I think of The Fugs being : is this the same later album features 'Dover Beach' ?
	♥ 9:10pm McGroovey: Then there's the old joke about--what is it?--playing a country song backwards, and your wife come back and your dog comes back etc etc
	♥ 9:10pm slugluv1313: oooooooo hippies :) good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone!
	♥ 9:11pm McGroovey: Fugs: Tenderness Junction, one of the major-label albums. I think there's a version of Dover Beach on it, yes.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's on there for sure & The Beatles have never addressed that - except maybe to say it's pure coincidence...
	9:12pm yippie: i listened to love potion #9 backwards so now i have to get my love in the other way
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx McG
	♥ 9:12pm Ira: @Revolution Rabbit: I KNOW! What are you hiding, Ringo????
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cagey bugs them Liverpudlians.
	♥ 9:14pm McGroovey: Wikipedia says Danny Kortchmar is playing the violin on that Fugs album. Guitars are Kortchmar and Ken Pine. Although you didn't ask.
	9:14pm KWilde: John Hardy!
	9:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah but I wondered cause wow.
	9:20pm jn34282: Hello fellow listeners
	♥ 9:21pm spodiodi: greetings, Ira and everyone! glad to be listening again
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the runout @ the end of UK Pepper backwards is a bit like 'f*ck you like a superman' - which is only a little more likely to be phonetic chance...
	♥ 9:21pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Ira, Skeleton, McGroove, all! At my first awful job after college, in Ewing NJ, a real nice older sales guy made me a Sonny Stitt cassette.
	♥ 9:22pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Spode
	♥ 9:22pm Ira: @Hoboken Jack: If you were young the way I was, that "older sales guy" was probably 31.
	♥ 9:22pm spodiodi: howdy, Hoboken Jack
	9:26pm pgalub: Hello Ira and Everyone!
	♥ 9:28pm Hoboken Jack: Hi there Pete!
	9:28pm pgalub: Hey Jack!!
	♥ 9:34pm Roberto: Frank nailin' it, as always.
	♥ 9:34pm McGroovey: Hello, everyone. Hello, world.
	♥ 9:35pm McGroovey: I haven't gotten around to watching the Zappa movie that all the cool kids are talkin' 'bout.
	♥ 9:35pm spodiodi: hi pgalub, McGroovey
	♥ 9:36pm Richy4619: ♪┏(·o·)┛♪┗ ( ·o·) ┓
	♥ 9:37pm Roberto: I'd really like to watch that doc but that would require more than five minutes of my undivided attention. Ain't nobody got time for that!
	♥ 9:37pm Ira: @Richy4619: You won't believe this, but I was just about to post the same thing!
	9:39pm Shane the D: I'm just here for the Henry the V content.
	♥ 9:39pm Richy4619: go right ahead, Mr. Ira! say what you feel! hahah
	♥ 9:39pm javakid: hail to the Schramms... and the Mothers
	♥ 9:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and Irascals!
	♥ 9:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hey HP Ken! I was really only familiar with the Zappa "hits" so I learned a lot from that doc. Solid viewing.
	9:44pm Matt in Carrboro: Proud to report that my local record store had an outdoor parking lot sale recently and I was able to pick up a WFMU cassette that was a DJ premium from the early 90's.
	9:48pm Jedley: Another donor falls to Kondo
	♥ 9:49pm Ira: @Shane the D: It's coming(-ish).
	♥ 9:51pm listener 126464: hoo ha, ha hoo
	9:52pm Georgia: Thanks for playing autosalvage and smooth segue into when will I see you again!
	♥ 9:52pm listener 126464: Hiello Ira and company, everyone.
	♥ 9:52pm Richy4619: Score @Matt in Carrboro. Is the Record Exchange still around? CD Alley? or what was it. ... Nice Priced Books?
	♥ 9:53pm Ira: Thank you, Georgia! It's nice to know my segues turn on producers like you.
	9:53pm Patrick: Good evening from Philadelphia Ira.That Three Degrees appearance on Sanford and Son one of my favorites.
	9:53pm E in e orange: Ditto smooth segue
	9:53pm Matt in Carrboro: CD Alley was bought by School Kids so it's still a store at least. Record Exchange no longer around. This was All Day Records. Owners also run Nightlight club for experimental shows and kickass dance parties!
	9:55pm Georgia: Hi e in e orange!
	9:55pm Joeybug69: Just popped in for a live listen as a spoiler to my subsequent archived enjoyment later this week. Here’s another clue for you all: cranberry sauce. (Or was that “I’m very bored?”)
	9:56pm Matt in Carrboro: Speaking of Henry V, I saw some version of Herman's Hermits playing at the American pavilion at Epcot Center probably 5 years ago or so. I was excited for them to play Henry the VIII because I was there with my toddler named Henry and I sometimes sang that song to him!
	♥ 9:57pm McGroovey: I made cranberry sauce from scratch for the first time ever for Thanksgiving. It's the best. Only thing is, now I have to eat it with basically every mean until it's gone. It turns out that it's the perfect addition to banana bread, though.
	♥ 9:57pm McGroovey: meal
	♥ 9:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. I hope your later jobs were more enjoyable, yet rewarding.
	♥ 10:02pm Richy4619: @Matt, How'd I miss Schoolkids!? I know of All Day too. My pal in Oakland opened Nightlight w/ those folks I think
	♥ 10:03pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: I just joined Ira's show and missed the segue, but I'm sure it'll sound just as smooth when I re-create it no sooner than six months from now.
	10:05pm Georgia: @gaylord: I look forward to that. I look forward to 6 months from now.. I think?
	♥ 10:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: Fair enough.
	♥ 10:06pm McGroovey: I'm looking forward to this time next year, when world will probably be saner, but probably also crazier somehow.
	♥ 10:08pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:09pm Matt in Carrboro: Richy, is your friend in Oakland Charlie St. Clair???
	10:09pm Joeybug69: @McGroovey: my lovely wife made it a couple of years in a row but now we resort to canned. So she bought 2 of the store brand—with whole cranberries, of course—then asked me to pick up Ocean Spray on my next trip, which I did. More berries in the classy brand, she reckoned. Then she bought 2 more because she didn’t see mine. So that’s 6 cans. And we’re halfway through them even though the Tofurkey is now just a fond memory.
	♥ 10:12pm McGroovey: I was surprised at how easy it was to make: a bag of cranberries, a couple cups of sugar, and a teaspoon of orange zest. Lots of sugar.
	10:12pm Joeybug69: Of course, these are just problems of privilege...
	10:13pm BH: seems unfair to go up against Eddie Munster in a court considering his dad was a judge in Alabama
	♥ 10:13pm McGroovey: Christina seems to be a great legal mind there.
	♥ 10:13pm Hams: way to go, butch!
	10:13pm ledzeppelinsucks: Part time bummer for Eddie Munster.
	10:14pm E in e orange: Didnt see Eddie Munster coming!
	♥ 10:14pm Ira: @E in e: Not sure I did either.
	10:16pm Joe B: hope this version of I.O.I.O. makes the Bee Gees doc!
	♥ 10:17pm listener 126464: perfect
	10:17pm Georgia: Cometeens wow. Are they on the 12 x 5 Marty that record?
	10:18pm Rick G: Waiting for that sweet Fred Gwynne block
	♥ 10:18pm javakid: my dad knew Fred Gwynne in college. I used to walk past Al Lewis on Bleecker street in the early nineties when he'd sit in front of is restaurant. That's all I got.
	10:18pm Georgia: Thau
	10:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: I remember knowing what time of afternoon it was by the reruns playing after school in the 70s.
	10:18pm bergey is mobile: loving this show tonight
	♥ 10:19pm Ira: Yes, Georgia, they are.
	10:19pm Dusty: I hope so, Ira
	♥ 10:19pm Ira: You hope I'm crazy, Dusty, or you hope Bill Frisell's quoting The Munsters???
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: I am unreasonably excited that one of my listener's dad knew Fred Gwynne in college. What a brush with greatness!
	♥ 10:22pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ˘⌣˘ ꒱ ♡
	10:22pm Dusty: Ha; not crazy. Bill would be about the right age to wait 40 plus years to work that in.
	♥ 10:23pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, one of the Comateens was a friend of mine at Bronx Science, so I know he was taught better. Maybe he misapplied the apostrophe for rock cred.
	♥ 10:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: Some years ago, I found that Butch Patrick was coming to New Paltz for the grand opening of a party favors store and I drove over there and got my picture with him. He wasn't wearing his vampire costume.
	♥ 10:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Georgia, Joe, Gaylord, 126464! I found a video from 2017 of Frisell with Bob Bain, who recorded the Munsters theme and... that's all I've got.
	10:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: I sat next to Eddie Munsters sisters kid on a flight from SEA to SAN in about 1980. I kept looking at the pretty blonde lady smiling at me and he said that's my mom. I recognized her then realized she had been on the Munsters.
	♥ 10:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Lovely
	♥ 10:31pm Kelly Jones: Marty's voice though
	10:32pm DThomas: This is indeed an amazing Airplane song. Thanks.
	♥ 10:32pm Parq: Thanks for this shatteringly beautiful 'Plane track.
	♥ 10:33pm slugluv1313: Airplane has so many gorgeous songs -- this may be my favorite -- and yes, Marty Balin's voice!!!
	♥ 10:35pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, did I ever tell you that I worked with a guy whose dad wrote 15 episodes of "Car 54" (and who was a light-skinned Black guy passing for white, as his son blabbed to us one day at work). When I got to meet my friend's dad, I didn't give him one of those soul handshakes, though I was tempted.
	♥ 10:36pm John L: Ken From Hyde Park, Butch Patrick appeared in a Middletown store last year. I wonder if he lives in the Hudson Valley. Missed the New Paltz appearance; I've lived here, on and off, since 1981.
	♥ 10:37pm listener 126464: Hello Jack!
	♥ 10:37pm Ira: Gaylord -- !!!!!!!
	♥ 10:37pm slugluv1313: Happy Birthday Gary Panter! many years ago he spray painted an old couch the "ex" and i had (i think it had belonged to his parents? or his Grandma?) -- all day glo colors with black, that couch was AMAZING by the time he finished with it!
	♥ 10:38pm slugluv1313: oh Gaylord, you rascal you! :)
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: He also wrote a dozens and dozens of Bilko episodes (and one Sanford and Son). @slugluv1313: His son referred to himself as an "octoroon" — I liked him.
	♥ 10:42pm Matt Fiveash: Hello Ira- you talking about the Munsters theme, with Pete Fountain's Henry VIII as bed music, made me hear them strung together in a medley in my mind's ear. Very similarly phrased melodies! Who knew. Thanks, I think...
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: @Matt: Our lives are all one song. Especially if Vic Mizzi wrote it. Not sure which came first, Green Acres or the Addams Family, but he should have sued himself for whichever came second.
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: Now that I think of it, it's Mizzy.
	♥ 10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @John L - That's interesting. It was the late 80s when I met Butch that day.
	♥ 10:45pm Ira: Considering I'm the guy making fun of the Comateens' spelling.
	♥ 10:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira @Matt Fiveash: I think Fogerty v. Fogerty set legal precedent in that regard.
	♥ 10:46pm slugluv1313: @ Gaylord -- oh dear! i remember having to learn all those awful terms in junior high social studies classes :(
	♥ 10:47pm Ignore Function: Really liked the Iftin Band.
	♥ 10:47pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv: Where in the HELL did you go to school, and was it after the 19th century?
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: primitons- sounds like a dr who character(s)
	♥ 10:50pm PaulRobeson1920: Ho ho ho
	♥ 10:51pm Kelly Jones: Great Show I-R-A
	♥ 10:52pm PaulRobeson1920: What if six was nine and what IF Jesus turned that other cheek into an atom bomb?
	♥ 10:52pm Matt Fiveash: Ira- You're getting me all mitzy over here! Gaylord- Fogerty v. Fogerty: Now there's a music biopic I'd pay to see in the theater.
	10:53pm bruce: Primitons sound a little bit like Morphine (on that song anyway)
	♥ 10:53pm Kelly Jones: Gaylord Fields bad self all over this board
	♥ 10:55pm slugluv1313: @ Gaylord -- we were learning about the Civil War, Reconstruction, etc. -- and all the horrible crap that transpired, even though slavery was abolished and the confederacy was done -- this was in New Jersey! in the early 1970s! i grew up in Martinsville, but went to junior high at Adamsville School in Finderne (which i believe is still part of Bridgewater Township)
	♥ 10:55pm PaulRobeson1920: Peace and love for all time baby. I enjoyed that song a-lot
	10:58pm Troymo: Sirmaqabe is so good!
	♥ 10:59pm Gaylord Fields: Kelly, I was just trying to draw out your loveliness, and it worked!
	11:00pm bruce: Maybe you could sneak in some Etran de L'Air from their No. 1 record?
	11:01pm Jedley: SURELY some musical savant up in here can identify this cut
	11:02pm Jedley: *Dogumbo that was
	♥ 11:03pm Kelly Jones: Love ya GL...
	♥ 11:03pm Ira: Yeah, sorry, I was a little late posting that one . . .
	♥ 11:04pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⌯•̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̀⌯꒱
	11:05pm bruce: you definitely earned all of your fee playing this gem
	♥ 11:06pm Gaylord Fields: Love back to you, KJ! <3
	♥ 11:07pm McGroovey: Dogumbo Song: Google and discogs don't help. "Unknown Artist", which is probably what's on the CD.
	♥ 11:08pm Mike W: am i late
	♥ 11:08pm McGroovey: No
	♥ 11:09pm Kelly Jones: Me likey the Liz Beth song mucho
	11:10pm Jedley: @McGroovey found it - Explorer Series: Africa - Ghana: Ancient Ceremonies / Dance Music & Songs. No artist, like a field recording
	11:11pm pgalub: 11:11
	♥ 11:12pm Hoboken Jack: John 3:16
	♥ 11:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Me too Kelly
	♥ 11:13pm Hoboken Jack: And I am wearing a rainbow wig
	♥ 11:16pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:16pm Kelly Jones: We used to get 40's and get stoned and then go the Romanian Garden Bar in Brooklyn near Pratt and dance on the bar to Spill the Wine. What a bunch of idiots
	♥ 11:17pm McGroovey: I see your wig, and raise you a tutu, Jack.
	♥ 11:19pm PaulRobeson1920: War! I do not know very much about music, but I do know War performed at SUNY Oswego in 1971! Feet from the banks of lake Ontario
	♥ 11:22pm Matt Fiveash: Kelly Jones- if you must dance on the bar, that's a good song for it
	11:25pm Lori from Eau Claire: I love taking these musical journeys with you, Ira, grazi!
	♥ 11:27pm Kelly Jones: Hi Matty Fivey... takes me back EVERY TIME.
	♥ 11:31pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
	11:37pm Jedley: ♡ ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ ♡
	♥ 11:38pm Mike W: Ikue is one of the several top artists who got me stoned at Tonic
	11:40pm Jedley: Ha! That's a good system of ranking bands
	♥ 11:41pm Ira: By that standard, Stan is the #1 dj on WFMU. Not to say he isn't . . .
	♥ 11:44pm Scott Williams: @Mike W, how I wish I could say Sainkho Namtchylak bought me a gin & tonic at The Stone...
	♥ 11:47pm Mike W: I had great times there. I once helped Derek Bailey to a seat on a particularly raucous New Year’s Eve.
	♥ 11:47pm Ira: @Scott Williams: [thinks the better of saying what he's thinking]
	11:48pm Nils: Finally made it. Just before 6 am. Kudos from Berlin.
	♥ 11:48pm Scott Williams: @Ira: [same here, then said it]
	♥ 11:49pm Ira: Good morning, Nils!
	11:53pm Jedley: I've never been to the UK but apparently Cafe OTO should curate my life
	♥ 11:56pm PaulRobeson1920: It’s all over now baby blue
	♥ 11:57pm TomDash: Oh man, forgot about all those Cafe Oto live tracks online...next time!

	♥ 9:04pm Roberto: I tried reversing a cassette recording of Revolution #9 when I was about 14 and it didn't sound anything like "turn me on, dead man."
	9:05pm Jedley: Is this show dedicated to ~50 million of our neighbors and family members?
	♥ 9:06pm Ira: @Roberto: I was more open to suggestion than you were. I heard "Turn me on, dead man," clear as could be, and was 3/4 convinced that Paul was dead. Still not 100% sure he didn't die in the '60s.
	♥ 9:06pm Ira: @Jedley: They all are!
	♥ 9:06pm McGroovey: One up-vote for Fugs
	9:07pm Rick G: Cheerful December Ira and all. Happy birthday to Marty Crouton, the cow from Squirrelwood Sanctuary in NY. Adorable social media account: @m_crouton
	♥ 9:08pm Roberto: To me it sounded like "neeyon duh muh"
	♥ 9:08pm Fuzzy: I reversed it via MP# on the family PC back in the 90's -- I can hear "turn me on dedman" clear as day. Spooky!
	♥ 9:09pm Ira: @Roberto: Exactly!
	♥ 9:09pm Fuzzy: MP3
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More Musical than I think of The Fugs being : is this the same later album features 'Dover Beach' ?
	♥ 9:10pm McGroovey: Then there's the old joke about--what is it?--playing a country song backwards, and your wife come back and your dog comes back etc etc
	♥ 9:10pm slugluv1313: oooooooo hippies :) good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone!
	♥ 9:11pm McGroovey: Fugs: Tenderness Junction, one of the major-label albums. I think there's a version of Dover Beach on it, yes.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's on there for sure & The Beatles have never addressed that - except maybe to say it's pure coincidence...
	9:12pm yippie: i listened to love potion #9 backwards so now i have to get my love in the other way
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx McG
	♥ 9:12pm Ira: @Revolution Rabbit: I KNOW! What are you hiding, Ringo????
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cagey bugs them Liverpudlians.
	♥ 9:14pm McGroovey: Wikipedia says Danny Kortchmar is playing the violin on that Fugs album. Guitars are Kortchmar and Ken Pine. Although you didn't ask.
	9:14pm KWilde: John Hardy!
	9:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah but I wondered cause wow.
	9:20pm jn34282: Hello fellow listeners
	♥ 9:21pm spodiodi: greetings, Ira and everyone! glad to be listening again
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the runout @ the end of UK Pepper backwards is a bit like 'f*ck you like a superman' - which is only a little more likely to be phonetic chance...
	♥ 9:21pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Ira, Skeleton, McGroove, all! At my first awful job after college, in Ewing NJ, a real nice older sales guy made me a Sonny Stitt cassette.
	♥ 9:22pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Spode
	♥ 9:22pm Ira: @Hoboken Jack: If you were young the way I was, that "older sales guy" was probably 31.
	♥ 9:22pm spodiodi: howdy, Hoboken Jack
	9:26pm pgalub: Hello Ira and Everyone!
	♥ 9:28pm Hoboken Jack: Hi there Pete!
	9:28pm pgalub: Hey Jack!!
	♥ 9:34pm Roberto: Frank nailin' it, as always.
	♥ 9:34pm McGroovey: Hello, everyone. Hello, world.
	♥ 9:35pm McGroovey: I haven't gotten around to watching the Zappa movie that all the cool kids are talkin' 'bout.
	♥ 9:35pm spodiodi: hi pgalub, McGroovey
	♥ 9:36pm Richy4619: ♪┏(·o·)┛♪┗ ( ·o·) ┓
	♥ 9:37pm Roberto: I'd really like to watch that doc but that would require more than five minutes of my undivided attention. Ain't nobody got time for that!
	♥ 9:37pm Ira: @Richy4619: You won't believe this, but I was just about to post the same thing!
	9:39pm Shane the D: I'm just here for the Henry the V content.
	♥ 9:39pm Richy4619: go right ahead, Mr. Ira! say what you feel! hahah
	♥ 9:39pm javakid: hail to the Schramms... and the Mothers
	♥ 9:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and Irascals!
	♥ 9:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hey HP Ken! I was really only familiar with the Zappa "hits" so I learned a lot from that doc. Solid viewing.
	9:44pm Matt in Carrboro: Proud to report that my local record store had an outdoor parking lot sale recently and I was able to pick up a WFMU cassette that was a DJ premium from the early 90's.
	9:48pm Jedley: Another donor falls to Kondo
	♥ 9:49pm Ira: @Shane the D: It's coming(-ish).
	♥ 9:51pm listener 126464: hoo ha, ha hoo
	9:52pm Georgia: Thanks for playing autosalvage and smooth segue into when will I see you again!
	♥ 9:52pm listener 126464: Hiello Ira and company, everyone.
	♥ 9:52pm Richy4619: Score @Matt in Carrboro. Is the Record Exchange still around? CD Alley? or what was it. ... Nice Priced Books?
	♥ 9:53pm Ira: Thank you, Georgia! It's nice to know my segues turn on producers like you.
	9:53pm Patrick: Good evening from Philadelphia Ira.That Three Degrees appearance on Sanford and Son one of my favorites.
	9:53pm E in e orange: Ditto smooth segue
	9:53pm Matt in Carrboro: CD Alley was bought by School Kids so it's still a store at least. Record Exchange no longer around. This was All Day Records. Owners also run Nightlight club for experimental shows and kickass dance parties!
	9:55pm Georgia: Hi e in e orange!
	9:55pm Joeybug69: Just popped in for a live listen as a spoiler to my subsequent archived enjoyment later this week. Here’s another clue for you all: cranberry sauce. (Or was that “I’m very bored?”)
	9:56pm Matt in Carrboro: Speaking of Henry V, I saw some version of Herman's Hermits playing at the American pavilion at Epcot Center probably 5 years ago or so. I was excited for them to play Henry the VIII because I was there with my toddler named Henry and I sometimes sang that song to him!
	♥ 9:57pm McGroovey: I made cranberry sauce from scratch for the first time ever for Thanksgiving. It's the best. Only thing is, now I have to eat it with basically every mean until it's gone. It turns out that it's the perfect addition to banana bread, though.
	♥ 9:57pm McGroovey: meal
	♥ 9:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. I hope your later jobs were more enjoyable, yet rewarding.
	♥ 10:02pm Richy4619: @Matt, How'd I miss Schoolkids!? I know of All Day too. My pal in Oakland opened Nightlight w/ those folks I think
	♥ 10:03pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: I just joined Ira's show and missed the segue, but I'm sure it'll sound just as smooth when I re-create it no sooner than six months from now.
	10:05pm Georgia: @gaylord: I look forward to that. I look forward to 6 months from now.. I think?
	♥ 10:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Georgia: Fair enough.
	♥ 10:06pm McGroovey: I'm looking forward to this time next year, when world will probably be saner, but probably also crazier somehow.
	♥ 10:08pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:09pm Matt in Carrboro: Richy, is your friend in Oakland Charlie St. Clair???
	10:09pm Joeybug69: @McGroovey: my lovely wife made it a couple of years in a row but now we resort to canned. So she bought 2 of the store brand—with whole cranberries, of course—then asked me to pick up Ocean Spray on my next trip, which I did. More berries in the classy brand, she reckoned. Then she bought 2 more because she didn’t see mine. So that’s 6 cans. And we’re halfway through them even though the Tofurkey is now just a fond memory.
	♥ 10:12pm McGroovey: I was surprised at how easy it was to make: a bag of cranberries, a couple cups of sugar, and a teaspoon of orange zest. Lots of sugar.
	10:12pm Joeybug69: Of course, these are just problems of privilege...
	10:13pm BH: seems unfair to go up against Eddie Munster in a court considering his dad was a judge in Alabama
	♥ 10:13pm McGroovey: Christina seems to be a great legal mind there.
	♥ 10:13pm Hams: way to go, butch!
	10:13pm ledzeppelinsucks: Part time bummer for Eddie Munster.
	10:14pm E in e orange: Didnt see Eddie Munster coming!
	♥ 10:14pm Ira: @E in e: Not sure I did either.
	10:16pm Joe B: hope this version of I.O.I.O. makes the Bee Gees doc!
	♥ 10:17pm listener 126464: perfect
	10:17pm Georgia: Cometeens wow. Are they on the 12 x 5 Marty that record?
	10:18pm Rick G: Waiting for that sweet Fred Gwynne block
	♥ 10:18pm javakid: my dad knew Fred Gwynne in college. I used to walk past Al Lewis on Bleecker street in the early nineties when he'd sit in front of is restaurant. That's all I got.
	10:18pm Georgia: Thau
	10:18pm ledzeppelinsucks: I remember knowing what time of afternoon it was by the reruns playing after school in the 70s.
	10:18pm bergey is mobile: loving this show tonight
	♥ 10:19pm Ira: Yes, Georgia, they are.
	10:19pm Dusty: I hope so, Ira
	♥ 10:19pm Ira: You hope I'm crazy, Dusty, or you hope Bill Frisell's quoting The Munsters???
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: I am unreasonably excited that one of my listener's dad knew Fred Gwynne in college. What a brush with greatness!
	♥ 10:22pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ˘⌣˘ ꒱ ♡
	10:22pm Dusty: Ha; not crazy. Bill would be about the right age to wait 40 plus years to work that in.
	♥ 10:23pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, one of the Comateens was a friend of mine at Bronx Science, so I know he was taught better. Maybe he misapplied the apostrophe for rock cred.
	♥ 10:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: Some years ago, I found that Butch Patrick was coming to New Paltz for the grand opening of a party favors store and I drove over there and got my picture with him. He wasn't wearing his vampire costume.
	♥ 10:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Georgia, Joe, Gaylord, 126464! I found a video from 2017 of Frisell with Bob Bain, who recorded the Munsters theme and... that's all I've got.
	10:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: I sat next to Eddie Munsters sisters kid on a flight from SEA to SAN in about 1980. I kept looking at the pretty blonde lady smiling at me and he said that's my mom. I recognized her then realized she had been on the Munsters.
	♥ 10:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Lovely
	♥ 10:31pm Kelly Jones: Marty's voice though
	10:32pm DThomas: This is indeed an amazing Airplane song. Thanks.
	♥ 10:32pm Parq: Thanks for this shatteringly beautiful 'Plane track.
	♥ 10:33pm slugluv1313: Airplane has so many gorgeous songs -- this may be my favorite -- and yes, Marty Balin's voice!!!
	♥ 10:35pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, did I ever tell you that I worked with a guy whose dad wrote 15 episodes of "Car 54" (and who was a light-skinned Black guy passing for white, as his son blabbed to us one day at work). When I got to meet my friend's dad, I didn't give him one of those soul handshakes, though I was tempted.
	♥ 10:36pm John L: Ken From Hyde Park, Butch Patrick appeared in a Middletown store last year. I wonder if he lives in the Hudson Valley. Missed the New Paltz appearance; I've lived here, on and off, since 1981.
	♥ 10:37pm listener 126464: Hello Jack!
	♥ 10:37pm Ira: Gaylord -- !!!!!!!
	♥ 10:37pm slugluv1313: Happy Birthday Gary Panter! many years ago he spray painted an old couch the "ex" and i had (i think it had belonged to his parents? or his Grandma?) -- all day glo colors with black, that couch was AMAZING by the time he finished with it!
	♥ 10:38pm slugluv1313: oh Gaylord, you rascal you! :)
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: He also wrote a dozens and dozens of Bilko episodes (and one Sanford and Son). @slugluv1313: His son referred to himself as an "octoroon" — I liked him.
	♥ 10:42pm Matt Fiveash: Hello Ira- you talking about the Munsters theme, with Pete Fountain's Henry VIII as bed music, made me hear them strung together in a medley in my mind's ear. Very similarly phrased melodies! Who knew. Thanks, I think...
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: @Matt: Our lives are all one song. Especially if Vic Mizzi wrote it. Not sure which came first, Green Acres or the Addams Family, but he should have sued himself for whichever came second.
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: Now that I think of it, it's Mizzy.
	♥ 10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @John L - That's interesting. It was the late 80s when I met Butch that day.
	♥ 10:45pm Ira: Considering I'm the guy making fun of the Comateens' spelling.
	♥ 10:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira @Matt Fiveash: I think Fogerty v. Fogerty set legal precedent in that regard.
	♥ 10:46pm slugluv1313: @ Gaylord -- oh dear! i remember having to learn all those awful terms in junior high social studies classes :(
	♥ 10:47pm Ignore Function: Really liked the Iftin Band.
	♥ 10:47pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv: Where in the HELL did you go to school, and was it after the 19th century?
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: primitons- sounds like a dr who character(s)
	♥ 10:50pm PaulRobeson1920: Ho ho ho
	♥ 10:51pm Kelly Jones: Great Show I-R-A
	♥ 10:52pm PaulRobeson1920: What if six was nine and what IF Jesus turned that other cheek into an atom bomb?
	♥ 10:52pm Matt Fiveash: Ira- You're getting me all mitzy over here! Gaylord- Fogerty v. Fogerty: Now there's a music biopic I'd pay to see in the theater.
	10:53pm bruce: Primitons sound a little bit like Morphine (on that song anyway)
	♥ 10:53pm Kelly Jones: Gaylord Fields bad self all over this board
	♥ 10:55pm slugluv1313: @ Gaylord -- we were learning about the Civil War, Reconstruction, etc. -- and all the horrible crap that transpired, even though slavery was abolished and the confederacy was done -- this was in New Jersey! in the early 1970s! i grew up in Martinsville, but went to junior high at Adamsville School in Finderne (which i believe is still part of Bridgewater Township)
	♥ 10:55pm PaulRobeson1920: Peace and love for all time baby. I enjoyed that song a-lot
	10:58pm Troymo: Sirmaqabe is so good!
	♥ 10:59pm Gaylord Fields: Kelly, I was just trying to draw out your loveliness, and it worked!
	11:00pm bruce: Maybe you could sneak in some Etran de L'Air from their No. 1 record?
	11:01pm Jedley: SURELY some musical savant up in here can identify this cut

	♥ 11:06pm Gaylord Fields: Love back to you, KJ! <3
	♥ 11:07pm McGroovey: Dogumbo Song: Google and discogs don't help. "Unknown Artist", which is probably what's on the CD.

	♥ 11:09pm Kelly Jones: Me likey the Liz Beth song mucho

	♥ 11:16pm Kelly Jones: We used to get 40's and get stoned and then go the Romanian Garden Bar in Brooklyn near Pratt and dance on the bar to Spill the Wine. What a bunch of idiots
	♥ 11:17pm McGroovey: I see your wig, and raise you a tutu, Jack.
	♥ 11:19pm PaulRobeson1920: War! I do not know very much about music, but I do know War performed at SUNY Oswego in 1971! Feet from the banks of lake Ontario
	♥ 11:22pm Matt Fiveash: Kelly Jones- if you must dance on the bar, that's a good song for it
	11:25pm Lori from Eau Claire: I love taking these musical journeys with you, Ira, grazi!

	♥ 11:41pm Ira: By that standard, Stan is the #1 dj on WFMU. Not to say he isn't . . .
	♥ 11:44pm Scott Williams: @Mike W, how I wish I could say Sainkho Namtchylak bought me a gin & tonic at The Stone...
	♥ 11:47pm Mike W: I had great times there. I once helped Derek Bailey to a seat on a particularly raucous New Year’s Eve.
	♥ 11:47pm Ira: @Scott Williams: [thinks the better of saying what he's thinking]
	11:48pm Nils: Finally made it. Just before 6 am. Kudos from Berlin.
