	3:08pm Robm: @Jett what station do you DJ at?
	3:09pm djsheilab: Gerry from Miami—I'm pretty certain Minnie was still in the group for this.
	3:10pm djsheilab: Mr. Pumpy—So kind of you to offer but I'm so focused on my show right now that I can't even come up with one LP!
	3:10pm Mister Dobalina: Tunin' in to tune out!
	3:11pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, Sheila. I never owned that particular album. Played the heck out of "Peace" though. Best Christmas album ever. Even Phil Spector's!!
	3:13pm djsheilab: Mister Dobalina—Love the expression!
	3:13pm Rob Kopp: I just notice that the picture of The Pussycats differs a little bit from the picture on Discogs
	3:13pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Same shoot, different shot!
	3:15pm Rob Kopp: I didn't know that their Portuguese EP with all their 4 songs is THAT expensive. It's on my wantlist, but I'm afraid it will stay there forever.

	3:15pm Jett: @Robm WCWP

	3:41pm djsheilab: Dave In Leicester—Fingers crossed for you!
	3:42pm djsheilab: The Oscar + Nathan—Yeah, this Spellling cut is spectacular. So odd, yet so pop. She's really doing her own thing.
	3:43pm The Oscar: My partner had a great comment when she heard "Little Deer" for the first time: "I always wondered what it would sound like if TLC were a coven of witches!"
	3:44pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This Spelling song is sorta reminding me of "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders
	3:44pm djsheilab: EarlyMorningInSeoul—It has a classic pop melody in there for sure.
	3:46pm Passaic River Blues: I was very recently listening to "Mandala" off this album. Total sleeper genius record.

	4:13pm Dominick: Loving her!
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Can you up the volume on the interview playback a little ?
	4:14pm Zephyr: Hi Sheila. I'm assuming this interviewed isn't live but please know that I am truly amazed at the confluence of events here. Thank you for responding last week. The late "Bishop" O'Brien is my dad. Rest In peace (died 2004). I was adopted so I only found out after his death that he is my father. I have had the pleasure of meeting Abagail's ex, Danny "Kootch" and many other friends and musicians that my dad played with. Bless your heart for this interview. You're the best...
	4:16pm tim from washington: Sheila - just curious, what medium did you do the interview? Phone, zoom, facetime?
	4:17pm tim from washington: There's good chemistry between you two, Sheila!
	4:18pm Passaic River Blues: I need to play this interview for my Brooklynite father-in-law, with whom we've discussed "Dressed in Black" several times. This is so great!
	4:18pm djsheilab: tim from washington—We did the interview in person when she was in NYC two weeks ago!
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always magnificent chemistry in ShielaB Interviews !
	4:18pm Vanessa Tara: ahhh! some good ol' proto-punk ....
	4:19pm dreamyandseedy: i want to see pics of her garden! i hope we learn how she got into that
	4:19pm tim from washington: Oh man, how cool Sheila!
	4:20pm Rob Kopp: This song is sooo good. All the versions I have on singe are fantastic, but Shadow Mortons demo is afwul.
	4:20pm Gurldoggie: Holy cow, what's not to like about that voice??!
	4:22pm Passaic River Blues: I'm getting Brill chills! So cool.
	4:22pm Rob Kopp: I don't understand: she's talking about Kama Sutra all the time but the 2 singles were on Columbia
	4:23pm Bimbus Bambus: Just down the street from the Brill Building!
	4:23pm Dominick: Rob Kopp - Kama Sutra was a production company before it was a label.
	4:23pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Kama Sutra was the Pussycats' production + songwriting company. Columbia solely released the records.
	4:24pm Alicia Renee: her voice is gorgeous & SUCH the earnest, delightful & informative interview!
	4:24pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Dominick and Sheila
	4:24pm Vanessa Tara: there was a kama sutra label ... the lovin' spoonful were on it
	4:25pm tim from washington: I first became aware of the Kama Sutra label through the Fat Boys. I've always wondered if it was the same as the 60s label.
	4:26pm Dominick: Oh waiter!
	4:26pm Rob Kopp: Well, when she was compared to Sophie Tucker, she must have been wild
	4:26pm Kpx: Tim fw@4:09 -Together they make Joe Joe McBasgelockko
	4:26pm tim from washington: I LOVE stories of bad behavior from days of yore.
	4:27pm dakfinch: Amazing interview!!!
	4:27pm tim from washington: @Kpx - ha!
	4:31pm Passaic River Blues: This interview ranks among Sheila's best. Abby is just dishing and dishing.

	4:32pm Don F.: You scooped Little Steven. Excellent interview Sheila B.
	4:32pm Laurie H: this is so good!!
	4:32pm Mike tp: how did I miss this Johnny cut.super..
	4:33pm Laurie H: everyone loves a bad boy :p
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That crucial & delicious 1966 balance between Pop & Experimentation - which dovetails so with her narrative...
	4:33pm Vanessa Tara: that was fantastic!!!
	4:34pm Passaic River Blues: @RRN63: agreed!
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Her voice had great range - & she wields it expressively with great control...
	4:35pm Mick: So great - music and interview. Thank you for this Sheila (and Abigail!)
	4:35pm tim from washington: Clear Light on Elektra?
	4:35pm Dominick: Clear Light!
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that was a little like Janis Ian - but Abigail could wail more :D ...

	4:36pm P-90: I remember that Ban-Lon jingle, I think they used it for years.

	4:39pm Dominick: Holy Cow! What a story!
	4:39pm djsheilab: Hey! I didn't know who he was!
	4:41pm TimSF: RRNov63: "if you can see my eyes, my bangs are too short."
	4:41pm Handy Haversack: (I was gonna say -- must have been pretty loud in the studio with all those bangs!)
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well that's why it was Bang records...
	4:44pm tim from washington: Such a cool progression of sound.
	4:45pm The Oscar: Have to log off in about 15 minutes, but I just want to say that this has been an outstanding interview-- will catch up later in the archive!
	4:45pm dreamyandseedy: love her voice in Midnight Rider
	4:46pm djsheilab: Thank you The Oscar, and to all of you for listening! I'm thrilled that you're all enjoying it. Abigail is a phenomenal human + artist!
	4:46pm Jersey Jim: This interview itself with the music just earned the next station pledge. Well done!
	4:47pm Jett: I guess you must be a young un if you don't know who Peter Lawford is. ❤️
	4:48pm djsheilab: Oh that's lovely. Thank you Jersey Jim!
	4:50pm Jett: Carole King played keyboards for James Taylor? said the young un.❤️
	4:53pm Vanessa Tara: i've heard carole king and her band 'the city' from 1968
	4:55pm Another Patrick from Hoboken: Just tuned in for the interview!
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Mac R = Dr. John)
	4:57pm tim from washington: Mac Rabinac. Is that Dr John?
	4:57pm mariano: Yep, Dr. John.
	4:57pm P-90: Yes, THE Dr. John
	5:01pm Kpx: @Handy, RRN63 @4:42 - I was thinking it was for more of promiscuous reasons.because of what she said earlier about people being with whomever they desire.
	5:04pm Zephyr: My father was the drug-addled drummer that caused the demise of Jo Mama. Sad that he never got control of his addiction until toward the end of his life. He was an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist. Addiction is a disease and heroin is a killer. RIP "Bishop"
	5:04pm Kpx: Commonly know as a gold digger.
	5:04pm DjLorraine: Sheila the interview is classic. Thank you Abigail Haness
	5:07pm Morgan from Philly: the erasure and gaslighting is very upsetting
	5:07pm djsheilab: Thank you for your forthcoming comment, Zephyr. I hope that bit about your father wasn't too difficult to hear. Addiction is indeed a disease, and I'm so sorry you lost your father. RIP.
	5:07pm djsheilab: Zephyr—I mean forthright!
	5:09pm Kpx: Which one in the picture is Abigail.?
	5:10pm djsheilab: Kpx—In the top photo of the Pussycats, she's at the bottom right.
	5:10pm dreamyandseedy: now we're getting deep! it's painful to hear but it's fascinating and i love that she feels comfortable telling you this
	5:11pm tim from washington: Don Henley seems like the the kind of neighbor who would let his dog crap in your yard and not pick it up.
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: I'm going down, but will surely listen to the rest of the interview tomorrow, Sheila. Until next week everyone.
	5:12pm Zephyr: Bishop was loved by many, but was a problem for many also. Kootch was very gracious when I met him. "Bishop taught me everything. He was the smartest guy I ever knew." We don't have the luxury of picking our parents.
	5:14pm Morgan from Philly: @dreamyandseedy glad it was a turning point
	5:14pm Kpx: djsheilab - Got it, With the long dark hair, thx
	5:15pm michael z: What a fabulous interview Sheila. Johnny Ander was a revelation.... And becoming a landscape designer is a brilliant way to age gracefully out of the record business.
	5:15pm tim from washington: This could be a Betty Davis song.
	5:15pm joe mulligan: @Zephyr well said and thank you for sharing
	5:17pm joe mulligan: @Sheila what a good interview, you drew out the emotions in such natural and human way
	5:17pm djsheilab: Thank you michael z. + joe mulligan!
	5:18pm djsheilab: Zephyr—It is wonderful that you are here to listen and share. Thank you.
	5:19pm Zephyr: No. Thank you. What a gift.

	5:20pm TimSF: ..."starting to date". haha
	5:21pm Rob Kopp: back listening downstairs, but not commenting anymore
	5:24pm Laurie H: she should do a book! I would read it.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Laurie H—Right?!! I couldn't agree more! She has SO many stories.
	5:26pm Dominick: So much!
	5:27pm Jersey Jim: the book, an audiobook - as recorded by djsheilab
	5:27pm Tamar: Wow, what an amazing interview! I'm getting nothing done-- I'm just riveted.
	5:27pm Morgan from Philly: ha ha wow
	5:28pm djsheilab: Thank you Tamar!!!
	5:28pm suzyhotrod: feeling the need to also pledge my love for Tim as Dr Frank!
	5:28pm Mick: Un. Real.
	5:28pm tim from washington: Tim Curry was pretty wicked as Pennywise in the It tv movie.
	5:30pm DjLorraine: Damn it Janet I love you
	5:31pm Dominick: Oh hell yes!!
	5:32pm Mr. Pumpy: touch-toucha-toucha!
	5:32pm Gurldoggie: Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me could be a mantra around here.
	5:33pm Morgan from Philly: what an interview, what a life
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - Hair & Rocky. Massive really.
	5:34pm Jeff Moore: Amazing career. I never knew!
	5:36pm dreamyandseedy: so glad you asked about the horticulture! that's just as interesting to me as the music :)
	5:37pm Jersey Jim: Abigale ended up in STEM!
	5:38pm Mr. Pumpy: This interview kicks major buttocks. Thanks Sheila. Thanks Abigail!
	5:39pm Morgan from Philly: there is beauty and order in science
	5:40pm common: Sheila b! All! Happy friday!
	5:40pm michael z: I'm so glad the interview has kept going. I thought the Rocky Horror song was closing it.
	5:42pm Passaic River Blues: Simply amazing.
	5:42pm Jocelyn: This interview is so incredible
	5:42pm Morgan from Philly: better late than never to get away from a narcissist
	5:43pm Mick: Thank you once again for this Sheila - fantastic stuff!
	5:43pm Dominick: Wow, just wow!
	5:43pm ?: Greatest Interview Ever Love them ladies
	5:44pm tim from washington: Wow, Sheila! That was the interview of the year. You're a great interviewer. Thanks for making radio great!
	5:44pm Morgan from Philly: really Sheila chef’s kiss like the young people say
	5:44pm Vanessa Tara: amazing interview!!!
	5:44pm Passaic River Blues: And this Merry Clayton, too? Jesus!
	5:44pm D Rok: Wow! I just learned SO MUCH during that interview. Thank you Shelia B. You've truly outdone yourself.
	5:45pm brandon: this “southern man” was sampled by Cool Breeze “watch out for the hook” with goodie mob/outkast
	5:45pm Mr. Pumpy: This version of Sothern Man always killed me. Now I have a deeper insight to one of the backup singers! Music is, indeed, the best.
	5:45pm CarB: That was stunning
	5:45pm dreamyandseedy: gonna have to listen to more Jo Mama, her voice is so excellent. amazing interview sheila, thank you!!!
	5:46pm michael z: This version of Southern Man is just incredible. Thank you Sheila for this fabulous and thanks so much Abigail if you are on the comments board...
	5:46pm Gurldoggie: This was among the best music interviews I've heard in many many years. You two had a such a lovely rapport, and she shared such wild and intimate stories! And connected it all back to decades of fantastic music. I'm gonna say this is destined to become a classic radio moment.
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Riveting' as said above is a good word. What a massive shame this has been. Thank You SheilaB & Ms. Haness ! See how everyone is thinking 'Book' ! It was that consequential. Or Movie - if it were possible to do it justice...
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: massive *SHARE ...wow - gigantic Autoincorrect fail.
	5:49pm Frank Zaatar: Fantastic interview. It's like a crash course in the secret history of rock-and-roll. I just saw Merry Clayton sing Southern Man on the old PBS show Soul, which is streaming now on Amazon. Absolutely recommended.
	5:50pm Mr. Pumpy: The reverb. The REVERB!
	5:50pm Miss G: Can't wait to listen to this show in the archives, thanks Sheila B and Abigail Haness! I don't have to wait to listen to the stupendous Pussycats "Dressed in Black" as I own the very great "One Kiss Can Lead to Another" hatbox comp, given to me by The Boy Dressed in Black (I just learned that the song was released on a special day as well.) So thank you Sheila B for your notes on that project!
	5:51pm Jim the Poet: Great set
	5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was still up last night listening to part of Abbie From Mars' show last night and I kind of zonked out for a while. Have a good week, Sheila.
	5:52pm Kpx: Riveting interview, with the exception of time's when she would suddenly drop her voice very low making it very difficult to understand what she was saying. Otherwise great.
	5:52pm calf: What a great interview. She had quite an exciting life.
	5:52pm suzyhotrod: Killed it Sheila!
	5:53pm Will the Sound Guy: Excellent work Sheila, great show!
	5:53pm Bill: An amazing interview! An incredible artist, an extraordinary life. What an inside view of the "music scene". Thank you Shiela, for your uniquely personal and informative program. and the finezt interviewer. Thank you Shiela.
	5:53pm Morgan from Philly: lol she headed for the hills after that
	5:53pm Morgan from Philly: what a voice too
	5:54pm calf: So glad I tuned in today. Thank you Sheila
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: Again thanks for the interview Sheila.
	5:55pm Miss G: L if you want to appreciate James Taylor, you can watch the play "Uncommon Women and Others" which I saw on PBS as a youth, with young Meryl Streep. . .
	5:55pm michael z: A brilliant show Sheila, truly...
	5:55pm Vanessa Tara: thank you!!!
	5:56pm JtotheK: Thanks SheilaB, wonderful interview. Cheers!
	5:56pm Vanessa Tara: have a great break!!!
	5:57pm Morgan from Philly: aw ♥️
	5:57pm Jett: I will miss you young lady @DjSheilaB Stay well, enjoy your time off. Have a blast!
	5:57pm BARBARA J MURRAY: Thank you so much for airing this interview because I learn much and enjoyed, I was born in 1957 so this great styuff for me! thank you again girl so go clothes shopping now, you need to do it enjoy.
	5:58pm woj: just echoing everything everyone else already said: amazing show today! the conversation with abigail was a joy to listen to!
	5:58pm Gurldoggie: BTW I still insist that the film "Two Lane Blacktop" is James Taylor at his very best.
	5:59pm P-90: Primo interview! Revelatory! There are certainly at least a few more “Gayles” out there and I’m sure Sheila B will be the one to find and interview them!
	5:59pm Miss G: You deserve a day off Sheila B, go shopping and enjoy yourself! Thanks for all that you do.
	6:00pm P-90: So go shop already…
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you SO much to all of you for these beautiful, loving comments! See you in two weeks! Xoxoxoxo
	8:44am martin webb: thank you for sharing your chat with Abigail I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to you both. she is such an interesting colourful vibrant person - i have known about of the Pussycats for many years, but not much about them, so because of your own amazing knowledge of music, this was a brilliant two way interview - which I have learnt from - so this just opened up the history even more for me ps. that sudden cutting off at the end of a recording is something I think was also done with the Shangrilla's - so may be a connection there to check out?. regards Martin @ CircularsounD

	3:41pm djsheilab: Dave In Leicester—Fingers crossed for you!
	3:42pm djsheilab: The Oscar + Nathan—Yeah, this Spellling cut is spectacular. So odd, yet so pop. She's really doing her own thing.
	3:43pm The Oscar: My partner had a great comment when she heard "Little Deer" for the first time: "I always wondered what it would sound like if TLC were a coven of witches!"
	3:44pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This Spelling song is sorta reminding me of "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders
	3:44pm djsheilab: EarlyMorningInSeoul—It has a classic pop melody in there for sure.
	3:46pm Passaic River Blues: I was very recently listening to "Mandala" off this album. Total sleeper genius record.

	4:13pm Dominick: Loving her!
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Can you up the volume on the interview playback a little ?
	4:14pm Zephyr: Hi Sheila. I'm assuming this interviewed isn't live but please know that I am truly amazed at the confluence of events here. Thank you for responding last week. The late "Bishop" O'Brien is my dad. Rest In peace (died 2004). I was adopted so I only found out after his death that he is my father. I have had the pleasure of meeting Abagail's ex, Danny "Kootch" and many other friends and musicians that my dad played with. Bless your heart for this interview. You're the best...
	4:16pm tim from washington: Sheila - just curious, what medium did you do the interview? Phone, zoom, facetime?
	4:17pm tim from washington: There's good chemistry between you two, Sheila!
	4:18pm Passaic River Blues: I need to play this interview for my Brooklynite father-in-law, with whom we've discussed "Dressed in Black" several times. This is so great!
	4:18pm djsheilab: tim from washington—We did the interview in person when she was in NYC two weeks ago!
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always magnificent chemistry in ShielaB Interviews !
	4:18pm Vanessa Tara: ahhh! some good ol' proto-punk ....
	4:19pm dreamyandseedy: i want to see pics of her garden! i hope we learn how she got into that
	4:19pm tim from washington: Oh man, how cool Sheila!
	4:20pm Rob Kopp: This song is sooo good. All the versions I have on singe are fantastic, but Shadow Mortons demo is afwul.
	4:20pm Gurldoggie: Holy cow, what's not to like about that voice??!
	4:22pm Passaic River Blues: I'm getting Brill chills! So cool.
	4:22pm Rob Kopp: I don't understand: she's talking about Kama Sutra all the time but the 2 singles were on Columbia
	4:23pm Bimbus Bambus: Just down the street from the Brill Building!
	4:23pm Dominick: Rob Kopp - Kama Sutra was a production company before it was a label.
	4:23pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Kama Sutra was the Pussycats' production + songwriting company. Columbia solely released the records.
	4:24pm Alicia Renee: her voice is gorgeous & SUCH the earnest, delightful & informative interview!
	4:24pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Dominick and Sheila
	4:24pm Vanessa Tara: there was a kama sutra label ... the lovin' spoonful were on it
	4:25pm tim from washington: I first became aware of the Kama Sutra label through the Fat Boys. I've always wondered if it was the same as the 60s label.
	4:26pm Dominick: Oh waiter!
	4:26pm Rob Kopp: Well, when she was compared to Sophie Tucker, she must have been wild
	4:26pm Kpx: Tim fw@4:09 -Together they make Joe Joe McBasgelockko
	4:26pm tim from washington: I LOVE stories of bad behavior from days of yore.
	4:27pm dakfinch: Amazing interview!!!

	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That crucial & delicious 1966 balance between Pop & Experimentation - which dovetails so with her narrative...
	4:33pm Vanessa Tara: that was fantastic!!!

	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Her voice had great range - & she wields it expressively with great control...

	4:39pm Dominick: Holy Cow! What a story!
	4:39pm djsheilab: Hey! I didn't know who he was!
	4:41pm TimSF: RRNov63: "if you can see my eyes, my bangs are too short."
	4:41pm Handy Haversack: (I was gonna say -- must have been pretty loud in the studio with all those bangs!)
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well that's why it was Bang records...
	4:44pm tim from washington: Such a cool progression of sound.
	4:45pm The Oscar: Have to log off in about 15 minutes, but I just want to say that this has been an outstanding interview-- will catch up later in the archive!

	4:46pm djsheilab: Thank you The Oscar, and to all of you for listening! I'm thrilled that you're all enjoying it. Abigail is a phenomenal human + artist!
	4:46pm Jersey Jim: This interview itself with the music just earned the next station pledge. Well done!
	4:47pm Jett: I guess you must be a young un if you don't know who Peter Lawford is. ❤️
	4:48pm djsheilab: Oh that's lovely. Thank you Jersey Jim!
	4:50pm Jett: Carole King played keyboards for James Taylor? said the young un.❤️

	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Mac R = Dr. John)
	4:57pm tim from washington: Mac Rabinac. Is that Dr John?
	4:57pm mariano: Yep, Dr. John.
	4:57pm P-90: Yes, THE Dr. John
	5:01pm Kpx: @Handy, RRN63 @4:42 - I was thinking it was for more of promiscuous reasons.because of what she said earlier about people being with whomever they desire.
	5:04pm Zephyr: My father was the drug-addled drummer that caused the demise of Jo Mama. Sad that he never got control of his addiction until toward the end of his life. He was an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist. Addiction is a disease and heroin is a killer. RIP "Bishop"
	5:04pm Kpx: Commonly know as a gold digger.
	5:04pm DjLorraine: Sheila the interview is classic. Thank you Abigail Haness
	5:07pm Morgan from Philly: the erasure and gaslighting is very upsetting
	5:07pm djsheilab: Thank you for your forthcoming comment, Zephyr. I hope that bit about your father wasn't too difficult to hear. Addiction is indeed a disease, and I'm so sorry you lost your father. RIP.
	5:07pm djsheilab: Zephyr—I mean forthright!
	5:09pm Kpx: Which one in the picture is Abigail.?
	5:10pm djsheilab: Kpx—In the top photo of the Pussycats, she's at the bottom right.
	5:10pm dreamyandseedy: now we're getting deep! it's painful to hear but it's fascinating and i love that she feels comfortable telling you this
	5:11pm tim from washington: Don Henley seems like the the kind of neighbor who would let his dog crap in your yard and not pick it up.
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: I'm going down, but will surely listen to the rest of the interview tomorrow, Sheila. Until next week everyone.
	5:12pm Zephyr: Bishop was loved by many, but was a problem for many also. Kootch was very gracious when I met him. "Bishop taught me everything. He was the smartest guy I ever knew." We don't have the luxury of picking our parents.
	5:14pm Morgan from Philly: @dreamyandseedy glad it was a turning point
	5:14pm Kpx: djsheilab - Got it, With the long dark hair, thx
	5:15pm michael z: What a fabulous interview Sheila. Johnny Ander was a revelation.... And becoming a landscape designer is a brilliant way to age gracefully out of the record business.
	5:15pm tim from washington: This could be a Betty Davis song.
	5:15pm joe mulligan: @Zephyr well said and thank you for sharing
	5:17pm joe mulligan: @Sheila what a good interview, you drew out the emotions in such natural and human way
	5:17pm djsheilab: Thank you michael z. + joe mulligan!

	5:20pm TimSF: ..."starting to date". haha
	5:21pm Rob Kopp: back listening downstairs, but not commenting anymore
	5:24pm Laurie H: she should do a book! I would read it.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Laurie H—Right?!! I couldn't agree more! She has SO many stories.
	5:26pm Dominick: So much!
	5:27pm Jersey Jim: the book, an audiobook - as recorded by djsheilab
	5:27pm Tamar: Wow, what an amazing interview! I'm getting nothing done-- I'm just riveted.
	5:27pm Morgan from Philly: ha ha wow
	5:28pm djsheilab: Thank you Tamar!!!
	5:28pm suzyhotrod: feeling the need to also pledge my love for Tim as Dr Frank!
	5:28pm Mick: Un. Real.
	5:28pm tim from washington: Tim Curry was pretty wicked as Pennywise in the It tv movie.
	5:30pm DjLorraine: Damn it Janet I love you
	5:31pm Dominick: Oh hell yes!!
	5:32pm Mr. Pumpy: touch-toucha-toucha!
	5:32pm Gurldoggie: Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me could be a mantra around here.
	5:33pm Morgan from Philly: what an interview, what a life
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - Hair & Rocky. Massive really.
	5:34pm Jeff Moore: Amazing career. I never knew!
	5:36pm dreamyandseedy: so glad you asked about the horticulture! that's just as interesting to me as the music :)
	5:37pm Jersey Jim: Abigale ended up in STEM!
	5:38pm Mr. Pumpy: This interview kicks major buttocks. Thanks Sheila. Thanks Abigail!
	5:39pm Morgan from Philly: there is beauty and order in science
	5:40pm common: Sheila b! All! Happy friday!
	5:40pm michael z: I'm so glad the interview has kept going. I thought the Rocky Horror song was closing it.
	5:42pm Passaic River Blues: Simply amazing.
	5:42pm Jocelyn: This interview is so incredible
	5:42pm Morgan from Philly: better late than never to get away from a narcissist
	5:43pm Mick: Thank you once again for this Sheila - fantastic stuff!
	5:43pm Dominick: Wow, just wow!
	5:43pm ?: Greatest Interview Ever Love them ladies
	5:44pm tim from washington: Wow, Sheila! That was the interview of the year. You're a great interviewer. Thanks for making radio great!
	5:44pm Morgan from Philly: really Sheila chef’s kiss like the young people say
	5:44pm Vanessa Tara: amazing interview!!!
	5:44pm Passaic River Blues: And this Merry Clayton, too? Jesus!
	5:44pm D Rok: Wow! I just learned SO MUCH during that interview. Thank you Shelia B. You've truly outdone yourself.
	5:45pm brandon: this “southern man” was sampled by Cool Breeze “watch out for the hook” with goodie mob/outkast
	5:45pm Mr. Pumpy: This version of Sothern Man always killed me. Now I have a deeper insight to one of the backup singers! Music is, indeed, the best.
	5:45pm CarB: That was stunning
	5:45pm dreamyandseedy: gonna have to listen to more Jo Mama, her voice is so excellent. amazing interview sheila, thank you!!!
	5:46pm michael z: This version of Southern Man is just incredible. Thank you Sheila for this fabulous and thanks so much Abigail if you are on the comments board...
	5:46pm Gurldoggie: This was among the best music interviews I've heard in many many years. You two had a such a lovely rapport, and she shared such wild and intimate stories! And connected it all back to decades of fantastic music. I'm gonna say this is destined to become a classic radio moment.
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Riveting' as said above is a good word. What a massive shame this has been. Thank You SheilaB & Ms. Haness ! See how everyone is thinking 'Book' ! It was that consequential. Or Movie - if it were possible to do it justice...
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: massive *SHARE ...wow - gigantic Autoincorrect fail.
	5:49pm Frank Zaatar: Fantastic interview. It's like a crash course in the secret history of rock-and-roll. I just saw Merry Clayton sing Southern Man on the old PBS show Soul, which is streaming now on Amazon. Absolutely recommended.
	5:50pm Mr. Pumpy: The reverb. The REVERB!
	5:50pm Miss G: Can't wait to listen to this show in the archives, thanks Sheila B and Abigail Haness! I don't have to wait to listen to the stupendous Pussycats "Dressed in Black" as I own the very great "One Kiss Can Lead to Another" hatbox comp, given to me by The Boy Dressed in Black (I just learned that the song was released on a special day as well.) So thank you Sheila B for your notes on that project!
	5:51pm Jim the Poet: Great set
	5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was still up last night listening to part of Abbie From Mars' show last night and I kind of zonked out for a while. Have a good week, Sheila.
	5:52pm Kpx: Riveting interview, with the exception of time's when she would suddenly drop her voice very low making it very difficult to understand what she was saying. Otherwise great.
	5:52pm calf: What a great interview. She had quite an exciting life.
	5:52pm suzyhotrod: Killed it Sheila!
	5:53pm Will the Sound Guy: Excellent work Sheila, great show!
	5:53pm Bill: An amazing interview! An incredible artist, an extraordinary life. What an inside view of the "music scene". Thank you Shiela, for your uniquely personal and informative program. and the finezt interviewer. Thank you Shiela.
	5:53pm Morgan from Philly: lol she headed for the hills after that

	8:44am martin webb: thank you for sharing your chat with Abigail I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to you both. she is such an interesting colourful vibrant person - i have known about of the Pussycats for many years, but not much about them, so because of your own amazing knowledge of music, this was a brilliant two way interview - which I have learnt from - so this just opened up the history even more for me ps. that sudden cutting off at the end of a recording is something I think was also done with the Shangrilla's - so may be a connection there to check out?. regards Martin @ CircularsounD
