	11:28am kwatts: I believe the ditty came from a belly dancer performance at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. Read that in "Devil in the White City."
	11:28am gf2002: Billy Squier's other radio hit: "Lonely Is The Night". Whoever produced it came close to copying the Bonham drum sound and the whole track sounds like a Zeppelin copy. Good FM radio track though, great guitar hooks
	11:29am lepson jooves: main problem is that MLB doesn't get ratings... pre-season football gets comparable or higher ratings than the World Series....
	11:29am clarke: Squier was TOTALLY into Zep - as is evidenced on his entire first solo album
	♥ 11:30am Michael Shelley: I could swear that I watched playoffs on TV more recently then 2014...
	11:30am clarke: yes, lepson, baseball IN GENERAL has lost a lot of popularity as far as viewing audiences.
	♥ 11:30am Michael Shelley: gf2002 - will check out
	11:31am lepson jooves: I recall one other Squier "hit" on the radio, "Everybody Wants Some".... which I actually liked, the others not so much...
	11:31am clarke: but, there are so many different networks nowadays, that the nat'l viewing audience is skewed.
	11:32am clarke: that's: Everybody Wants YOU - as mentioned above
	11:32am P-90: Digging these Chi-Lites two-fers!
	11:32am gf2002: The drummer on Lonely Is The Night nailed the track and the Bonham feel, even if it is reaaallly close to being too much of a Zep copy. I always liked the track, solid FM radio rock from that era
	11:32am lepson jooves: Clarke, I stand corrected....
	11:33am clarke: it has an All Of My Love feel gf
	♥ 11:33am Squints: Wow. That TGTBF is like Lake Michigan Beach Music.
	11:33am P-90: I remember that album, it really was a total Zep thing…
	11:34am pp: It's a kick when Marshall Thompson calls in to DJ Time Traveller's late-night show
	11:35am P-90: Also Billy’s MTV videos were a little annoying
	♥ 11:35am drr: Billy Squier was the first concert I went to by myself, actually. I was very impressed with the drummer (Bobby Chouinard?). He seemed to wing a sick into the audience on every other beat during the real stompy parts. You had to keep your eyes open.
	♥ 11:35am drr: a stick, not a sick.
	11:36am gf2002: @Clarke Yes! And they got that Bonham snare sound too, which is very cool. It makes me think of how many rock drummers had a signature snare tone in the 70's where you could hear one shot and know it was Bonham, Van Halen, etc.
	11:36am phat in Lincoln: I still enjoy Billy Squier quite a bit these days. He knew how to write a hook.
	11:38am ?: Great story 👍
	11:38am gf2002: I watched a YouTube video where they suggested one of Billy's MTV videos was so bad, it actually sank his career. They made a good case, but I felt bad for Billy
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: HEY NOW!
	11:38am Dennis Diken: at least Tony gave a $&@!
	11:39am Dennis Diken: Make that Teddy
	♥ 11:39am drr: Yes, there's a whole Wikipedia article on how "Rock Me Tonite" ruined his career, it's very detailed.
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: I used to stare in wonder at Trini's amazing sunburst guitar on the cover of "By Popular Demand." He eventually got his own signature model, with diamond-shaped S-holes.
	11:39am clarke: Our Man In Queens!!
	♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank! Been working on a vegan grilled cheese sandwich. It's coming along!
	11:40am gf2002: @drr That's the one, thank you!
	11:40am clarke: HH - 'lo!!!
	11:41am P-90: Agreed on the lost art of the signature snare tone.
	11:41am clarke: Hughie - those trini model guitars are pretty great - i have a friend that collects them - has three.
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: Cool - way to focus!
	11:43am KWilde: Sounded like Nick singing lead with Dave high harmony but DE could be singing both parts
	11:45am gf2002: The Trini model Gibson made a comeback through Dave Grohl, who played a vintage Trini almost exclusively in the studio until Gibson gave him his own Trini inspired signature model. Very cool guitars!
	♥ 11:46am Alvy Singer: Hi Michael-Excellent interview with Kristian Hoffman of The Mumps on the Please Kill Me blog.
	♥ 11:46am Kotzwinkled: Wondering whether Mike had time to ask about Tony Soprano's superfandom of the Chi-Lites. It's show canon!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: Hi clarke!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: Handy, that sounds great. Finally able to tuck into my cereal here this morning.
	11:47am P-90: There were actually two styles of Gibson Trini guitars. One that’s like a double cutaway full body 16” Jazz guitar with a six-on-a-side Firebird-style headstock, the other one is similar but built more like an ES-style Gibson, with a “thinline” (shallow body and a center block.
	11:47am clarke: it's THEM!!!
	11:48am clarke: it can't be... it IS!!!
	♥ 11:49am Frank In Queens: It sure is!
	11:49am clarke: still haven't heard the whole album, frank. will git to it.
	11:50am clarke: eventually.
	11:50am P-90: Reminded how much the style of string arrangements is part of the Chi-Lites sound
	11:50am clarke: wow - better than anything she has written in years!!!!
	♥ 11:50am Hughie Considine: Wow, the Trini/Grohl connection ... I wonder if Foo Fighters ever did a Trini cover.
	11:52am clarke: Grohl is actually favoring the Fender Coronado - a great choice (except it makes them harder to find), but he ain't using it to write very good Songs!!
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: It's a good one, clarke!
	11:52am ike-o: peace and greetings everyone! today I learned the ub40 version of lonely girl is a cover
	11:53am clarke: The Treasurer's Seal Of Approval has been granted. we can breathe easier now.
	11:55am gf2002: I always thought the Antiqua and Wildwood finish Coronados were great looking guitars.
	11:57am clarke: i love coronados - don't own one unfortunately!
	♥ 11:57am Squints: A cover of Eddie Holman's "Lonely Girl?" I'll have to check that OUT.
	11:59am clarke: squints - how goes the south showah??
	12:00pm clarke: lordy - SO SO SO #1!!!
	♥ 12:01pm Kotzwinkled: Somewhere, Tony Soprano is crying to the Michael Shelley Show.
	♥ 12:01pm drr: OK, can any of y'all guitar people speculate on how Chi-Lites got the fuzz tone in "Have You Seen Her"?
	♥ 12:02pm Squints: Beautiful day heah in the mid-50s. Finally Octobah. Going on a brewery crawl with my guitar teacher after this.
	12:02pm clarke: guessing here: fuzzface thru a low volume on a small amp
	12:03pm clarke: and then you crank the recording level on the small amp
	12:03pm gf2002: @drr It sounds like an 60's Gibson Maestro Fuzz Tone pedal to me. They were more buzzy and dirty than later pedals. And yes it has to be driving a tube amp to get that buzz
	12:04pm P-90: That’s a clean guitar tone with an Echoplex echo effect.
	12:04pm clarke: nice, Squints!!! who will be the teacher and the pupil, THEN??!!
	12:04pm P-90: And the reverb in the amp.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That great turning point in the 1960s between early GarageRawk Fuzz that was like a snotty mosquito that actually cut your Sustain - & the later 60s into Metal that added Sustain ? ...Cause that's a thing - right ?
	12:07pm P-90: There’s no “fuzz” tone on that guitar, that Fender-style drive is produced by the amp.
	♥ 12:08pm Squints: Mutual voyage of discovery, clarke. Think Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Except all the impressions are more Spinal Tap than Michael Caine. Although I can do that, too.
	♥ 12:08pm myron feld: @ike-o and Squints: "Hey There Lonely Girl" is actually a cover/adaptation of "Hey There Lonely Boy" by Ruby & The Romantics, 1963
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talking one whole bunch of great records this band.
	♥ 12:09pm Handy Haversack: I have been to the Harpoon brewery in Boston, during a bachelor party ~seven years back.
	♥ 12:10pm Will the Sound Guy: I took my brother on a brewery tour in VT, caught Harpoon up there.
	♥ 12:12pm Squints: We're going to Trillium's spiffy new room in Canton. (I've been to the old one.) Then hitting Brewery 44 in Carver on the way back because it's just up the road from his school. We got four breweries in Plymouth now and Stellwagen up in Marshfield is pretty neat. We try to get up to Stowe, VT every other year or so to check out the Stowe/Burlington/Middlebury beers. And the de rigeur Heady Topper/Focal Banger chase.
	12:14pm phat in Lincoln: I love this guy's laugh.
	♥ 12:14pm Will the Sound Guy: Going to drowned lands in a few
	12:18pm clarke: will how is the honeymoon???
	♥ 12:19pm Will the Sound Guy: We really didn't do a honeymoon yet, were going to take a small babymoon in December.
	12:20pm clarke: ahhh, well congrats, anyhoo!!
	♥ 12:20pm Will the Sound Guy: Many thanks
	12:21pm Joe B: billy squier's 'other' radio hit? he had about 10 radio hits
	12:21pm phat in Lincoln: @Joe B yep. He was huge!
	12:21pm clarke: ya dang right People's Champ - finally a voice of reason!!
	♥ 12:23pm Will the Sound Guy: I agree with Joe B!
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man - the Interviews on FMU are a whole other dimension to listening.
	12:23pm P-90: I was a little confused by that “other radio hit” reference too.
	♥ 12:23pm Listener Baby: @Baby. Agree!
	12:24pm clarke: as i am listening to this AWEsome interview, i am on a front porch of a farmhouse in rural MS - looking out over pecan grove and grass and hawks and sheep..
	♥ 12:25pm Will the Sound Guy: I love listening to soo many of these interviews, really gives you some inner looks into the music
	12:27pm gf2002: Billy Squier: I should clarify, in my hometown radio market all they've played since Billy's heyday in the 80's has been "Stroke" and "Lonely...". Of course he had more hits but they haven't been on many playlists around here for several decades, even when I lived in Boston. I blame the MTV video...
	12:27pm Joe B: Jersey City's own Flip Wilson!
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still wish there was a Program did expositions of the Technical aspects of Music - be it Fuzz Boxes, Producers or Time Signatures ...I want to learn as much of that as possible.
	♥ 12:29pm Handy Haversack: Sounds pretty nice, clarke.
	12:29pm clarke: speaking of museums, i went to the Cajun Music Hall Of Fame in Eunice, LA on thursday!! great!
	12:30pm Joe B: Looking at the Chi-Lites in the Billboard book, I can't believe Stoned Out of My Mind did not chart higher than No. 30. I recall that song being huge. Maybe it was bigger on WABC in NY.
	12:32pm clarke: could be, Joe. i don't remember it being huge in the new orleans market, but like the tune.
	♥ 12:32pm Squints: clarke, where in MS? My ma was born in New Albany (maybe 2/3 from Memphis to Tupelo) and retired to Olive Branch just over the line from Memphis.
	12:32pm P-90: @RRN63- there’s TONS of that stuff on YouTube
	♥ 12:33pm HyperDose: Just heard it for the first time. That's an incredible song, Joe!
	12:33pm clarke: ah yes, that is WAY north - nearly TN, i am WAY south, near LA - near Poplarville - on a friend's farm.
	12:33pm paul: @Joe B., doesn't ring a bell. I remember Naturally Stoned by the Avant Garde.
	♥ 12:33pm Squints: Well, that's how it is I'm a yankee, clarke.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90 - yeah true.
	12:35pm clarke: ha ha - boy it is nice, here, today!! i am going to record a little in this "pigeonaire" (all brick) room and then we'll watch our college game, later.
	12:36pm clarke: Olive Branch is very close to memphis outskirts, btw.
	♥ 12:38pm Squints: Yup. Was down there in April when we laid her to rest. 81. I won't mind getting to 81.
	12:39pm Joe B: thanks Michael, awesome job as usual
	12:39pm Mr C: That was sweet Michael..
	♥ 12:39pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great interview! The Chi-lites are a favorite for sure.
	12:39pm gf2002: Speaking of YouTube, search for a demo of the Maestro FZ-1A fuzz pedal, and you'll hear a sound close to "Have You Seen Her". It could be a Fuzz Face too (I had one and sold it, cool pedal but not the fuzz I was looking for), but I hear that buzzsaw sound of the old Maestro pedal on that track. Similar to "I Want You Back" and "ABC", those Motown tracks cut in LA. If you listen closely you can hear the guitarist who I believe was Don Peake actually click on the fuzz pedal before the break on IWYB. Other examples: Incense And Peppermints and Keef on Satisfaction which is what put that pedal on the map. The sound of 60's pop/psych garage rock, Maestro FZ-1
	♥ 12:40pm Listener Baby: One of those songs touched by something we can’t explain.
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: Another great one, Michael! Thanks for that.
	♥ 12:40pm Hughie Considine: outstanding interview, and great to hear an interviewee acknowledge your skils. And yeah, what a laugh he has.
	12:40pm Mister Dobalina: This is what I like to call goosebumps music.
	12:41pm Joe B: @Mister Dobalina - perfect description!
	12:42pm Vistavision: Wonderful interview!!
	12:42pm clarke: one reason why i guessed it was a fuzzface is that the time the song was recorded, the fuzzface had been made extremely popular by hendrix - so that's why i guessed that.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just unimpeachable voices - & arrangement that's both lush & restrained. Everybody exactly together on the swing & vibe - which is both strong & in no hurry.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Never had one either ... thinking about getting one when I get my booster this week, though.
	12:43pm Joe B: According to the Independent newspaper from July 25, 2005, Eugene Record initially dismissed this song. Record is quoted as saying, "I gave Carl Davis 7 songs on a tape and he called me to say there's a #1 tune on there. I named them all before 'Oh Girl' and I thought he was kidding."
	12:43pm Joe R.: I’ve heard “Oh Girl” dozens of times but I feel like I’m hearing iit with new ears, like it’s been reclaimed. Great interview Michael.
	12:43pm P-90: Another home run with that interview @Michael Shelley!
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: "I'm crying on the inside." "Gross."
	12:45pm phat in Lincoln: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 there are some YouTube videos for a lot of that stuff. But that's a good idea for a podcast.
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: Started getting the flu shot in 1994 after having had the flu earlier than Feb or Mar. It was unpleasant enough and my work was offering shots (maybe $15/pop then, pretty much free now). Worst I've ever got was a welt that feels like a Charley Horse for a day or so.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: Very Dizzyish Roe-ian groove to this one.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jaypers that Nick track is like perfect.
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Who does the actual vocal hit of this record? There is one, right?
	♥ 12:48pm Matt in Nebraska: I wonder if Marshall Thompson knows of Nick Lowe's version of "There Will Never Be Any Peace Until God Sits At The Conference Table".
	♥ 12:49pm Mike Sin: That was such a great interview! I'm such a fan of "Have You Seen Her" -- Of course, it's a fantastic track, but it was the first 45 I ever purchased with my little pocket of change. My folks let me pick it out from the other top 40 singles and pay the man all by myself! Big moment! Still have that exact 45!
	♥ 12:49pm drr: @gf2002: just saw your detailed post Thanks!
	♥ 12:50pm Listener Baby: @Mike Sin. Great first choice! Mine was Ride Captain Ride. Would neat to hear about everyone’s first 45 purchase.
	♥ 12:50pm Hubig Pie: Is that a trick question Mr. Squints ?
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: K8's got a people's theater project going in Old Stone House Park this afternoon, and I need to head for the train soon to make it. Thanks for another great show, Michael! Pledge for Number One if you can, everyone! And when Todd plays something off the new Exbats album this afternoon, someone give it a "woo hoo!" for me!
	12:51pm paul: Elvis is still King.
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: Mine might well have been "Amos Moses."
	♥ 12:51pm Pedro in Arlington: So easy to forget that at his best, Elvis was an absolutely brilliant singer.
	12:52pm clarke: mine was Hello Goodbye / Walrus
	12:52pm Scott from Denver: I like Elvis pre "stretchy waist band pants"
	♥ 12:52pm Hubig Pie: He also had the role of race car driver down pat
	♥ 12:52pm Corey: Thanks for this quick couple of hours of radio! Take care all.
	12:53pm clarke: (if you mean the first single you paid for with your own money)
	♥ 12:53pm Squints: HP, nope. I have that song stuck now in my head with a breathy high-register girl singer. Can swear I remember that and it's making me a little nuts that I can't put my finger on it.
	♥ 12:53pm JG: And Te TCB band was always spot on
	♥ 12:54pm Squints: Did Ronnie Tutt play with Elvis's band or was it always Blaine?
	12:54pm phat in Lincoln: Goddamn I love the Small Faces so much.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even fat he was still Elvis. Hell yeah Elvis was a great Singer. Squints - JaneBirken & Serge Gainsbourg. SmallFaces on acid - a very good thing. Just not @ the bidness meetings...
	♥ 12:54pm Hubig Pie: Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birken
	♥ 12:55pm Pedro in Arlington: And RIP Ronnie Tutt, the nifty bashing drummer in Elvis's road band. That's Tutt Scheff anyway you look at it.
	12:55pm gf2002: So that's what happened to Brian Wilson's bicycle horn after Pet Sounds!
	♥ 12:55pm Squints: RRN63, thanks VERY much. I knew at least that it wasn't that 4 Jacks and a Jill how-he-makes-me-quiver song. (Which I also dig.)
	♥ 12:56pm Squints: TY also, HP.
	♥ 12:56pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm gf2002: RIP Ronnie Tutt. I am still amazed at his stamina whenever I listen to the early 70's Elvis shows. The guy was going full-tilt, double-bass, driving the TCB band relentlessly. Great drummer
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Democracy is Coming to the USA
	12:57pm phat in Lincoln: My first 45 purchase was possibly John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting Over" (which I think I still have) but I feel like I had to have bought one earlier than that.
	12:58pm clarke: alright lads!! of to hit the bbq and ncaa...
	12:58pm clarke: it doesn't work that way.
	♥ 12:59pm HyperDose: Bye bye, Mr. Shelley!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Lord - may I never ever ever have to do another phone job as long as I live.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	2:55pm Bob: Billy Squier is infinitely better than Bon Jovi. Glad you caught up on the Chi-Lites. For me they are heads and shoulders above most of those bands of their era and style. I'm also doing a total reevaluation of the db's after your interview and airplay.

	11:21am clarke: less cowbell.

	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Boyfriend' wants to be CheapTrick doing Terry Reid & gets ...65% of the way there.

	11:27am Lizardner Dave: TBS gets one league every year, FOX gets the other and puts s couple games on broadcast and the rest on cable. The World Series is entirely on broadcast. Been this way since 2014.
	11:27am clarke: oh, speaking of viewing - i DID see the velvet underground documentary and it is really good.
	♥ 11:28am Will the Sound Guy: Good morning Michael and all! #1's
	11:28am kwatts: I believe the ditty came from a belly dancer performance at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. Read that in "Devil in the White City."
	11:28am gf2002: Billy Squier's other radio hit: "Lonely Is The Night". Whoever produced it came close to copying the Bonham drum sound and the whole track sounds like a Zeppelin copy. Good FM radio track though, great guitar hooks
	11:29am lepson jooves: main problem is that MLB doesn't get ratings... pre-season football gets comparable or higher ratings than the World Series....
	11:29am clarke: Squier was TOTALLY into Zep - as is evidenced on his entire first solo album
	♥ 11:30am Michael Shelley: I could swear that I watched playoffs on TV more recently then 2014...
	11:30am clarke: yes, lepson, baseball IN GENERAL has lost a lot of popularity as far as viewing audiences.
	♥ 11:30am Michael Shelley: gf2002 - will check out
	11:31am lepson jooves: I recall one other Squier "hit" on the radio, "Everybody Wants Some".... which I actually liked, the others not so much...
	11:31am clarke: but, there are so many different networks nowadays, that the nat'l viewing audience is skewed.
	11:32am clarke: that's: Everybody Wants YOU - as mentioned above
	11:32am P-90: Digging these Chi-Lites two-fers!
	11:32am gf2002: The drummer on Lonely Is The Night nailed the track and the Bonham feel, even if it is reaaallly close to being too much of a Zep copy. I always liked the track, solid FM radio rock from that era
	11:32am lepson jooves: Clarke, I stand corrected....
	11:33am clarke: it has an All Of My Love feel gf
	♥ 11:33am Squints: Wow. That TGTBF is like Lake Michigan Beach Music.
	11:33am P-90: I remember that album, it really was a total Zep thing…
	11:34am pp: It's a kick when Marshall Thompson calls in to DJ Time Traveller's late-night show
	11:35am P-90: Also Billy’s MTV videos were a little annoying
	♥ 11:35am drr: Billy Squier was the first concert I went to by myself, actually. I was very impressed with the drummer (Bobby Chouinard?). He seemed to wing a sick into the audience on every other beat during the real stompy parts. You had to keep your eyes open.
	♥ 11:35am drr: a stick, not a sick.
	11:36am gf2002: @Clarke Yes! And they got that Bonham snare sound too, which is very cool. It makes me think of how many rock drummers had a signature snare tone in the 70's where you could hear one shot and know it was Bonham, Van Halen, etc.
	11:36am phat in Lincoln: I still enjoy Billy Squier quite a bit these days. He knew how to write a hook.
	11:38am ?: Great story 👍
	11:38am gf2002: I watched a YouTube video where they suggested one of Billy's MTV videos was so bad, it actually sank his career. They made a good case, but I felt bad for Billy
	♥ 11:38am Frank In Queens: HEY NOW!
	11:38am Dennis Diken: at least Tony gave a $&@!
	11:39am Dennis Diken: Make that Teddy
	♥ 11:39am drr: Yes, there's a whole Wikipedia article on how "Rock Me Tonite" ruined his career, it's very detailed.
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: I used to stare in wonder at Trini's amazing sunburst guitar on the cover of "By Popular Demand." He eventually got his own signature model, with diamond-shaped S-holes.
	11:39am clarke: Our Man In Queens!!
	♥ 11:39am Handy Haversack: Hey, Frank! Been working on a vegan grilled cheese sandwich. It's coming along!
	11:40am gf2002: @drr That's the one, thank you!
	11:40am clarke: HH - 'lo!!!
	11:41am P-90: Agreed on the lost art of the signature snare tone.
	11:41am clarke: Hughie - those trini model guitars are pretty great - i have a friend that collects them - has three.
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: Cool - way to focus!
	11:43am KWilde: Sounded like Nick singing lead with Dave high harmony but DE could be singing both parts
	11:45am gf2002: The Trini model Gibson made a comeback through Dave Grohl, who played a vintage Trini almost exclusively in the studio until Gibson gave him his own Trini inspired signature model. Very cool guitars!
	♥ 11:46am Alvy Singer: Hi Michael-Excellent interview with Kristian Hoffman of The Mumps on the Please Kill Me blog.
	♥ 11:46am Kotzwinkled: Wondering whether Mike had time to ask about Tony Soprano's superfandom of the Chi-Lites. It's show canon!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: Hi clarke!
	♥ 11:47am Frank In Queens: Handy, that sounds great. Finally able to tuck into my cereal here this morning.
	11:47am P-90: There were actually two styles of Gibson Trini guitars. One that’s like a double cutaway full body 16” Jazz guitar with a six-on-a-side Firebird-style headstock, the other one is similar but built more like an ES-style Gibson, with a “thinline” (shallow body and a center block.
	11:47am clarke: it's THEM!!!
	11:48am clarke: it can't be... it IS!!!
	♥ 11:49am Frank In Queens: It sure is!
	11:49am clarke: still haven't heard the whole album, frank. will git to it.
	11:50am clarke: eventually.
	11:50am P-90: Reminded how much the style of string arrangements is part of the Chi-Lites sound
	11:50am clarke: wow - better than anything she has written in years!!!!
	♥ 11:50am Hughie Considine: Wow, the Trini/Grohl connection ... I wonder if Foo Fighters ever did a Trini cover.
	11:52am clarke: Grohl is actually favoring the Fender Coronado - a great choice (except it makes them harder to find), but he ain't using it to write very good Songs!!
	♥ 11:52am Frank In Queens: It's a good one, clarke!
	11:52am ike-o: peace and greetings everyone! today I learned the ub40 version of lonely girl is a cover
	11:53am clarke: The Treasurer's Seal Of Approval has been granted. we can breathe easier now.
	11:55am gf2002: I always thought the Antiqua and Wildwood finish Coronados were great looking guitars.
	11:57am clarke: i love coronados - don't own one unfortunately!
	♥ 11:57am Squints: A cover of Eddie Holman's "Lonely Girl?" I'll have to check that OUT.
	11:59am clarke: squints - how goes the south showah??
	12:00pm clarke: lordy - SO SO SO #1!!!
	♥ 12:01pm Kotzwinkled: Somewhere, Tony Soprano is crying to the Michael Shelley Show.
	♥ 12:01pm drr: OK, can any of y'all guitar people speculate on how Chi-Lites got the fuzz tone in "Have You Seen Her"?
	♥ 12:02pm Squints: Beautiful day heah in the mid-50s. Finally Octobah. Going on a brewery crawl with my guitar teacher after this.
	12:02pm clarke: guessing here: fuzzface thru a low volume on a small amp
	12:03pm clarke: and then you crank the recording level on the small amp
	12:03pm gf2002: @drr It sounds like an 60's Gibson Maestro Fuzz Tone pedal to me. They were more buzzy and dirty than later pedals. And yes it has to be driving a tube amp to get that buzz
	12:04pm P-90: That’s a clean guitar tone with an Echoplex echo effect.
	12:04pm clarke: nice, Squints!!! who will be the teacher and the pupil, THEN??!!
	12:04pm P-90: And the reverb in the amp.
	12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That great turning point in the 1960s between early GarageRawk Fuzz that was like a snotty mosquito that actually cut your Sustain - & the later 60s into Metal that added Sustain ? ...Cause that's a thing - right ?
	12:07pm P-90: There’s no “fuzz” tone on that guitar, that Fender-style drive is produced by the amp.
	♥ 12:08pm Squints: Mutual voyage of discovery, clarke. Think Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Except all the impressions are more Spinal Tap than Michael Caine. Although I can do that, too.
	♥ 12:08pm myron feld: @ike-o and Squints: "Hey There Lonely Girl" is actually a cover/adaptation of "Hey There Lonely Boy" by Ruby & The Romantics, 1963
	12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talking one whole bunch of great records this band.
	♥ 12:09pm Handy Haversack: I have been to the Harpoon brewery in Boston, during a bachelor party ~seven years back.
	♥ 12:10pm Will the Sound Guy: I took my brother on a brewery tour in VT, caught Harpoon up there.
	♥ 12:12pm Squints: We're going to Trillium's spiffy new room in Canton. (I've been to the old one.) Then hitting Brewery 44 in Carver on the way back because it's just up the road from his school. We got four breweries in Plymouth now and Stellwagen up in Marshfield is pretty neat. We try to get up to Stowe, VT every other year or so to check out the Stowe/Burlington/Middlebury beers. And the de rigeur Heady Topper/Focal Banger chase.
	12:14pm phat in Lincoln: I love this guy's laugh.
	♥ 12:14pm Will the Sound Guy: Going to drowned lands in a few
	12:18pm clarke: will how is the honeymoon???
	♥ 12:19pm Will the Sound Guy: We really didn't do a honeymoon yet, were going to take a small babymoon in December.
	12:20pm clarke: ahhh, well congrats, anyhoo!!
	♥ 12:20pm Will the Sound Guy: Many thanks
	12:21pm Joe B: billy squier's 'other' radio hit? he had about 10 radio hits
	12:21pm phat in Lincoln: @Joe B yep. He was huge!
	12:21pm clarke: ya dang right People's Champ - finally a voice of reason!!
	♥ 12:23pm Will the Sound Guy: I agree with Joe B!
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man - the Interviews on FMU are a whole other dimension to listening.
	12:23pm P-90: I was a little confused by that “other radio hit” reference too.
	♥ 12:23pm Listener Baby: @Baby. Agree!
	12:24pm clarke: as i am listening to this AWEsome interview, i am on a front porch of a farmhouse in rural MS - looking out over pecan grove and grass and hawks and sheep..
	♥ 12:25pm Will the Sound Guy: I love listening to soo many of these interviews, really gives you some inner looks into the music
	12:27pm gf2002: Billy Squier: I should clarify, in my hometown radio market all they've played since Billy's heyday in the 80's has been "Stroke" and "Lonely...". Of course he had more hits but they haven't been on many playlists around here for several decades, even when I lived in Boston. I blame the MTV video...
	12:27pm Joe B: Jersey City's own Flip Wilson!
	12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still wish there was a Program did expositions of the Technical aspects of Music - be it Fuzz Boxes, Producers or Time Signatures ...I want to learn as much of that as possible.
	♥ 12:29pm Handy Haversack: Sounds pretty nice, clarke.
	12:29pm clarke: speaking of museums, i went to the Cajun Music Hall Of Fame in Eunice, LA on thursday!! great!
	12:30pm Joe B: Looking at the Chi-Lites in the Billboard book, I can't believe Stoned Out of My Mind did not chart higher than No. 30. I recall that song being huge. Maybe it was bigger on WABC in NY.
	12:32pm clarke: could be, Joe. i don't remember it being huge in the new orleans market, but like the tune.
	♥ 12:32pm Squints: clarke, where in MS? My ma was born in New Albany (maybe 2/3 from Memphis to Tupelo) and retired to Olive Branch just over the line from Memphis.
	12:32pm P-90: @RRN63- there’s TONS of that stuff on YouTube
	♥ 12:33pm HyperDose: Just heard it for the first time. That's an incredible song, Joe!
	12:33pm clarke: ah yes, that is WAY north - nearly TN, i am WAY south, near LA - near Poplarville - on a friend's farm.
	12:33pm paul: @Joe B., doesn't ring a bell. I remember Naturally Stoned by the Avant Garde.
	♥ 12:33pm Squints: Well, that's how it is I'm a yankee, clarke.
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90 - yeah true.
	12:35pm clarke: ha ha - boy it is nice, here, today!! i am going to record a little in this "pigeonaire" (all brick) room and then we'll watch our college game, later.
	12:36pm clarke: Olive Branch is very close to memphis outskirts, btw.
	♥ 12:38pm Squints: Yup. Was down there in April when we laid her to rest. 81. I won't mind getting to 81.
	12:39pm Joe B: thanks Michael, awesome job as usual
	12:39pm Mr C: That was sweet Michael..
	♥ 12:39pm Corey: Thanks Michael for the great interview! The Chi-lites are a favorite for sure.
	12:39pm gf2002: Speaking of YouTube, search for a demo of the Maestro FZ-1A fuzz pedal, and you'll hear a sound close to "Have You Seen Her". It could be a Fuzz Face too (I had one and sold it, cool pedal but not the fuzz I was looking for), but I hear that buzzsaw sound of the old Maestro pedal on that track. Similar to "I Want You Back" and "ABC", those Motown tracks cut in LA. If you listen closely you can hear the guitarist who I believe was Don Peake actually click on the fuzz pedal before the break on IWYB. Other examples: Incense And Peppermints and Keef on Satisfaction which is what put that pedal on the map. The sound of 60's pop/psych garage rock, Maestro FZ-1
	♥ 12:40pm Listener Baby: One of those songs touched by something we can’t explain.
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: Another great one, Michael! Thanks for that.
	♥ 12:40pm Hughie Considine: outstanding interview, and great to hear an interviewee acknowledge your skils. And yeah, what a laugh he has.
	12:40pm Mister Dobalina: This is what I like to call goosebumps music.
	12:41pm Joe B: @Mister Dobalina - perfect description!
	12:42pm Vistavision: Wonderful interview!!
	12:42pm clarke: one reason why i guessed it was a fuzzface is that the time the song was recorded, the fuzzface had been made extremely popular by hendrix - so that's why i guessed that.
	12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just unimpeachable voices - & arrangement that's both lush & restrained. Everybody exactly together on the swing & vibe - which is both strong & in no hurry.
	♥ 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Never had one either ... thinking about getting one when I get my booster this week, though.
	12:43pm Joe B: According to the Independent newspaper from July 25, 2005, Eugene Record initially dismissed this song. Record is quoted as saying, "I gave Carl Davis 7 songs on a tape and he called me to say there's a #1 tune on there. I named them all before 'Oh Girl' and I thought he was kidding."
	12:43pm Joe R.: I’ve heard “Oh Girl” dozens of times but I feel like I’m hearing iit with new ears, like it’s been reclaimed. Great interview Michael.
	12:43pm P-90: Another home run with that interview @Michael Shelley!
	♥ 12:45pm Handy Haversack: "I'm crying on the inside." "Gross."
	12:45pm phat in Lincoln: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 there are some YouTube videos for a lot of that stuff. But that's a good idea for a podcast.
	♥ 12:46pm Squints: Started getting the flu shot in 1994 after having had the flu earlier than Feb or Mar. It was unpleasant enough and my work was offering shots (maybe $15/pop then, pretty much free now). Worst I've ever got was a welt that feels like a Charley Horse for a day or so.
	♥ 12:47pm Squints: Very Dizzyish Roe-ian groove to this one.
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jaypers that Nick track is like perfect.
	♥ 12:48pm Squints: Who does the actual vocal hit of this record? There is one, right?
	♥ 12:48pm Matt in Nebraska: I wonder if Marshall Thompson knows of Nick Lowe's version of "There Will Never Be Any Peace Until God Sits At The Conference Table".
	♥ 12:49pm Mike Sin: That was such a great interview! I'm such a fan of "Have You Seen Her" -- Of course, it's a fantastic track, but it was the first 45 I ever purchased with my little pocket of change. My folks let me pick it out from the other top 40 singles and pay the man all by myself! Big moment! Still have that exact 45!
	♥ 12:49pm drr: @gf2002: just saw your detailed post Thanks!
	♥ 12:50pm Listener Baby: @Mike Sin. Great first choice! Mine was Ride Captain Ride. Would neat to hear about everyone’s first 45 purchase.
	♥ 12:50pm Hubig Pie: Is that a trick question Mr. Squints ?
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: K8's got a people's theater project going in Old Stone House Park this afternoon, and I need to head for the train soon to make it. Thanks for another great show, Michael! Pledge for Number One if you can, everyone! And when Todd plays something off the new Exbats album this afternoon, someone give it a "woo hoo!" for me!
	12:51pm paul: Elvis is still King.
	♥ 12:51pm Squints: Mine might well have been "Amos Moses."
	♥ 12:51pm Pedro in Arlington: So easy to forget that at his best, Elvis was an absolutely brilliant singer.
	12:52pm clarke: mine was Hello Goodbye / Walrus
	12:52pm Scott from Denver: I like Elvis pre "stretchy waist band pants"
	♥ 12:52pm Hubig Pie: He also had the role of race car driver down pat
	♥ 12:52pm Corey: Thanks for this quick couple of hours of radio! Take care all.
	12:53pm clarke: (if you mean the first single you paid for with your own money)
	♥ 12:53pm Squints: HP, nope. I have that song stuck now in my head with a breathy high-register girl singer. Can swear I remember that and it's making me a little nuts that I can't put my finger on it.
	♥ 12:53pm JG: And Te TCB band was always spot on
	♥ 12:54pm Squints: Did Ronnie Tutt play with Elvis's band or was it always Blaine?
	12:54pm phat in Lincoln: Goddamn I love the Small Faces so much.
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even fat he was still Elvis. Hell yeah Elvis was a great Singer. Squints - JaneBirken & Serge Gainsbourg. SmallFaces on acid - a very good thing. Just not @ the bidness meetings...
	♥ 12:54pm Hubig Pie: Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birken
	♥ 12:55pm Pedro in Arlington: And RIP Ronnie Tutt, the nifty bashing drummer in Elvis's road band. That's Tutt Scheff anyway you look at it.
	12:55pm gf2002: So that's what happened to Brian Wilson's bicycle horn after Pet Sounds!
	♥ 12:55pm Squints: RRN63, thanks VERY much. I knew at least that it wasn't that 4 Jacks and a Jill how-he-makes-me-quiver song. (Which I also dig.)
	♥ 12:56pm Squints: TY also, HP.
	♥ 12:56pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:57pm gf2002: RIP Ronnie Tutt. I am still amazed at his stamina whenever I listen to the early 70's Elvis shows. The guy was going full-tilt, double-bass, driving the TCB band relentlessly. Great drummer
	12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Democracy is Coming to the USA
	12:57pm phat in Lincoln: My first 45 purchase was possibly John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting Over" (which I think I still have) but I feel like I had to have bought one earlier than that.
	12:58pm clarke: alright lads!! of to hit the bbq and ncaa...
	12:58pm clarke: it doesn't work that way.
	♥ 12:59pm HyperDose: Bye bye, Mr. Shelley!
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Lord - may I never ever ever have to do another phone job as long as I live.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ MS ~
	2:55pm Bob: Billy Squier is infinitely better than Bon Jovi. Glad you caught up on the Chi-Lites. For me they are heads and shoulders above most of those bands of their era and style. I'm also doing a total reevaluation of the db's after your interview and airplay.
