	11:19am clarke: but a mudhens tshirt wouldn't be bad
	11:19am Bob: First place I ever saw NRBQ was at a beautiful riverfront gig. Al was so hungover when he first woke up.
	11:19am Listener Baby: Super fun fact. Or not? James Dean died 15 minutes from my house, and the great Don Rich died very close by too. And just when you thought I would never amount to anything.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 i been to that field/fence!!

	11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ myron feld @11:21 Not enough syllables in "I'm alive" I guess..
	11:23am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:22 mornin' suh!

	11:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:24 I know! It's brisk, man. Our anniversary was last week and as it happened we got super chilly mid-May Saturday, just like our wedding day. Sometimes it snows in April, quoth Prince, and sometimes May is cold-n-dreary.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:26 Happy Anniv!! the boys still home??
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Goodbye, So Long" by "Ike And Tina Turner" RIP Tina T. goodbye so long!
	11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:27 Oh yeah, but I only have one with me this weekend, so we're gonna watch Three Stooges followed by an inappropriate movie and tons of popcorn.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ Song: "Goodbye, So Long" by "Ike And Tina Turner" Nice and rough.
	11:28am Corey: Morning all! This Tina Turner song is off the hook! RIP

	11:29am nycmusicnerd: Tom Jones did a nice tribute to Tina Turner Thursday night at the Beacon.
	11:30am clarke: u gotta pay if you don't own yer house, no hose, etc. but i go to wash it yerself. in a dangerous hood.
	11:31am ledzeppelinsucks: Car wash lines are now Chik-a-Fil lines. The one on Crow Canyon Road sometimes blocks an intersection.
	11:33am mike east: I’ll add my voice to the chorus- last weeks interview was great. I was surprised both by how long it was and more so by how I didn’t want it to end. Totally unexpected
	11:33am SecretSquirrel: I’ve paid for having the car washed – not only for the visible parts but also the undercarriage, which can get corroded from road salt, etc.
	11:34am clarke: i would never play Dead Or Alive with anyone.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ mike east @11:33 I heartily concur on both points.
	11:34am nycmusicnerd: Ike Turner died in 2007.
	11:35am modern blaze: yes hi i can’t do anything except listening to this program they bug me fucked me up called fug i want them die all now i peacefully lay in the bed and comment
	11:35am clarke: see? i thought he was alive.
	11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:34 Would you play Dead or Alive (the band) with anyone?
	11:35am Bucci: Ike Turner: Drop dead
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:35 sure? a tribute - let's do it!
	11:36am myron feld: I got to a car wash a couple times per year. Word on the street is that it's more environmentally friendly than doing it yourself. So sayeth the treehuggers at the EPA: cfpub.epa.gov...
	11:36am modern blaze: Bucci! help me out
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: Not a saz, but an oud
	11:37am SecretSquirrel: Oud have thunk it?
	11:37am clarke: oudda my way
	11:37am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "New Rochelle" by "Rami And The Reliables" Oh this yeaaa
	11:38am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:36 I would bellow along quite cheerfully with "You Spin Me Round."
	11:39am clarke: yer IN!!
	11:39am clarke: we need the bass of mcgroovey!!
	11:39am modern blaze: can i talk in russian says всё ок ребят расходимся я скватт и дисчардж слушаю а не выпендриваюсь!)
	11:40am gf2002: The interview last week was fascinating. It led me to check out more of the artists who were mentioned. It could have gone for another hour and I would have kept listening. Only thing is I wish there were a way to view the early Beatles photos he snapped, some of them have to be out there somewhere. Also interesting to hear how he wasn't that impressed hearing the Beatles at the Cavern, I hear reports that they were either all out rock and roll like they apparently were in Hamburg, or some shows they played sloppy like they were in a living room hanging out instead of on stage. Nice to hear another eyewitness add to the reporting.
	11:40am clarke: sounds like somebody needs some rope moved.
	11:40am modern blaze: can’t you let it be the same
	11:41am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:38 A GREAT song!
	11:42am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Like Every Time Before" by "Hollies, The" These kids had stellar album cuts. You got to look for them. Or have the great Baby play them
	11:42am ledzeppelinsucks: Las Vegas Boulevard and Strip are UGLY. So are other party disaster areas. San Diego Gas Lamp, New Orleans French Quarter, Seattle Pioneer Square, Miami Beach South Beach and Revolution Boulevard in Tijuana. They look great in the dark. In daylight they are unsightly.
	11:42am jmd: ↳ Song: "Like Every Time Before" by "Hollies, The" great rhythm section on this. Fantastic.
	11:43am clarke: bobby elliott!!!
	11:43am modern blaze: this is post-apocalyptic experience
	11:43am clarke: i think the french quarter looks fantastic during the day. all day.
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ SecretSquirrel @11:33 It's good to get the deluxe automatic wash sometime after the winter or even during, whenever there is salt on the roads. Helps prevent rust as mentioned, and unless you have a lift in your garage you can't do a full undercarriage clean in the driveway. That's this week's episode of Car Talk... :)
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:40 There must be a word for those who prefer the drums all on one side of the stereo mix, perhaps with a German root.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: That was not meant for you specifically, Clarke, but for the world at large.
	11:44am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Jambalaya" by "Wanda Jackson" son of a gun we gonna have big fun
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: I have a black car now, so I wash the car regularly and I do the drive-through because I'm lazy.
	11:45am clarke: monomenschen.
	11:45am modern blaze: we hat baby what what what
	11:45am Squints: ↳ modern blaze @11:44 whoopie doopie, we have big fun
	11:45am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:45 das is gut
	11:45am modern blaze: Soloes wow
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @11:42 Ugliest thing: one of those plastic teeth flossers on the sidewalk
	11:46am clarke: don't mention it
	11:46am Mister Dobalina: x'cuse me while I guess this guy.
	11:46am Mister Dobalina: *kiss
	11:47am modern blaze: My favorite says Вьетнам детка опять и опять мазафакер еаас
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" I was born in Ft. Campbell, KY, on the army base where Jimi was then a paratrooper. That's kind of like being in the presence of royalty, I figure.
	11:47am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" Readily available from the Shaftman comp/x-rated comedy record --> www.discogs.com...
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: Electric bass certainly changed jazz a whole lot.
	11:47am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" Purple Haze with a clean guitar tone.
	11:47am clarke: a kentuckian!! who knew??
	11:49am Listener Baby: Baby. Heard a Jerry Jemott bass line in a commercial yesterday. From that King Curtis song. Nothing is sacred. Also. I don’t know why I’m tell you this.
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:47 right? It was brief but there it is on my birth certificate. The folks got into Flatt & Scruggs and the Opry, so I think it all seeped in.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 seeped.
	11:53am clarke: sweet break!! that's all the 'solo' ever needed.
	11:53am modern blaze: who wants to know me i need evacuation to my apartment in NJ let’s hang at Monty Hall then squat
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:49 Baby = care to tell us what town your new tasting room is situated in??
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm sitting here avoiding cleaning. Although, my calendar for the day says cleaning starts at 11:00
	11:55am clarke: i've never found chicago to be a very friendly musical environment.
	11:55am modern blaze: Airplane tickets more than 100 thousands or about so to and back help me out you Bucci
	11:55am modern blaze: In RU currency
	11:59am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Rami Gabriel" Rami, Chicago is very very decent City and then
	12:00pm Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:53 Hi Clarke. Right in downtown Paso Robles. Right in the heart of it.
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:00 right on... BABY!!! ride on!!

	12:05pm clarke: nice name!!
	12:05pm modern blaze: relly in me don’t hang too much we need to look after
	12:09pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "All Them Little Things" by "Rami And The Reliables" Beautiful, beautiful song an all
	12:10pm Listener Baby: I get it. Rami is not very smart. Plain to see.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 ?
	12:11pm Listener Baby: Kidding!
	12:11pm Bob: Saxophone alert!
	12:11pm Yapper: I read that as sarcasm. This guy is a genius. Amazing music.
	12:12pm Listener Baby: ↳ Yapper @12:11 Thanks Yapper. Jeez you guys!,
	12:12pm modern blaze: cool nickname Yapper
	12:12pm clarke: also: shelley just supported a SAX SOLO. right there.
	12:14pm clarke: Them's guitar players were GREAT!! both.
	12:14pm modern blaze: agree
	12:14pm Bob: I feel like Them don't get nearly enough respect and the Yardbirds get entirely too much. Discuss.
	12:15pm SeanG: those double stops
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:14 i love their releases after ivan left.
	12:15pm modern blaze: ybirds no go((
	12:17pm Bob: Yardbirds albums have much goofy filler. That's what I'm saying. Singles are great.
	12:19pm modern blaze: I like it, and i like you, Bob for loving Them
	12:19pm Bob: The Louisville Slugger reissue has been in my player for weeks. For once Terry's endless tinkering really did improve a reissue. I think the new version really improves an already great record.
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin' this tune...
	12:23pm modern blaze: to favorites
	12:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "Saved" by "LaVern Baker" I felt that last one in my soul. Or at least whatever resembles a soul.
	12:27pm Listener Baby: Wood chips
	12:27pm Mister Dobalina: Mulch
	12:27pm SeanG: twigs!
	12:28pm P-90: “cedar shake” or “redwood shake” ?
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Any Time Of Day" by "Lemon Twigs, The" it is interesting the direction they took for this album. or maybe they just decided to to organize the songs in a certain way, rather. i certainly love it.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: Chips of Wood
	12:29pm drr: I've listened to the new Lemon Twigs a dozen times now...I feel like the younger brother isn't represented enough on this one. There's no insane rock numbers like "The Fire". But absolutely, go get it.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: Smelly mulch. I think cedar shake is what goes on the side of a house...
	12:29pm Vic in Longmont: ↳ Song: "Any Time Of Day" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Gettin some Bread vibes from this
	12:30pm drr: oh hey clarke. I think I see what you mean. It's a lot of one sound.
	12:30pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:29 Better option would be 1400 pounds of aquamarine colored gravel, UPS will deliver it
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:30 DRR!! you been busy!! nice day, huh?
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:29 It's true. Michael's unhinged-ness seems less prevalent.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "There Ain't No Use In Hanging On" by "Marmalade, ... Holy hell
	12:32pm drr: Pretty day! I'm painting. Also dog-sitting.
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Rubber mulch nuggets. The kids fall down and they don't get hurt.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:30 yeah, it is like ALL power ballads, but i dig it.
	12:32pm Squints: Not even Greg Marmalard?
	12:32pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Something On Your Mind" by "Karen Dalton" Classic
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 HP!! gooday
	12:33pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:30 Or maybe just a lot of rope. We know some guys who can move it.
	12:33pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:32 It's a lot of songs about unhappiness and loneliness too, which....I just don't believe it! I simply insist that they are having a wonderful time.
	12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Something On Your Mind" by "Karen Dalton" Probably my favorite unusual voice
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:32 dog??
	12:34pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:32 “He’s a sneaky little shit, just like you.”
	12:34pm modern blaze: it stucks in your mind baby
	12:34pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for Karen Dalton
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:33 i'm still bumming we didn't know they were playing here!!
	12:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:33 Hola, yo
	12:35pm sonnyspop: Oogie singing all growd up.
	12:35pm Bob: Hey, big endorsement for the new Leon Russell book by Bill Janovitz. I'm only a little bit of a fan so maybe it hit me even harder. The unravelling of his session work is just blowing my mind every page. I knew he did a lot but the records he played on...staggering!
	12:35pm clarke: no humility in the air, today, Hubig. it's a comin' tho
	12:35pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:34 yeah, ex-g.f's dog, Daisy. A blind part pit bull. Here she comes wanting something.
	12:35pm modern blaze: cool nickname sonnyspop
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:35 daisy!!
	12:37pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:35 Dry air at the end of May ? That's crazy talk !

	12:38pm modern blaze: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:37 i’ve been in hospital
	12:38pm paul: Follow this up with "Topless"
	12:39pm gf2002: Greg Brady as Johnny Bravo wore the best clothes of the early 70's. As Linc would say: "Solid."
	12:39pm Listener Baby: Shot out to the person who coined the phrase, Bell Bottoms. Th day it was spoken, I was going to last forever.
	12:39pm clarke: there's definitely some rope that needs to get moved.
	12:39pm egould: Redd Kross “Elephant Flares”
	12:40pm gf2002: "Bell Bottoms" by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Great track.
	12:40pm Mike Sin: Excellent show today! As usual, I completely enjoyed the interview.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Song: "He's Not A Boy" by "Like, The" yessss!
	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Bob @12:35 I'm digging it too, but bracing for the downfall.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:35 i need to read that - maybe there should be a cut-off point??
	12:41pm Mister Dobalina: Gonna havta clicky star fav this one...
	12:42pm Alan in Marblehead: Sorry didn’t catch name of Brady podcast?
	12:43pm egould: No Bug Club today?
	12:43pm Bob: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 Yeah, I don't really know his story either but I see that where it's going. His credits are just insane. He's basically the backbone of Whipped Cream and Other Delights? Who knew that! Somebody I suppose. Clarke, I got it from the library.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Another Day, Another Heartache" by "5th Dimension... This sounds very John Phillipsy. Mamas & Papas ever do this?
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:43 i know about most of his sessions, but i don't need to know about his solo career, all that much.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Another Day, Another Heartache" by "5th Dimension... 5D going straight for the MamasPapas thang.
	12:45pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:44 I had no idea he's the organ player on The Ventures version of Telstar for instance.
	12:45pm clarke: dude plays on every song!!
	12:45pm Listener Baby: This is the tell. If the song has Oh Yeah in it, Phillips wrote it.
	12:45pm egould: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @12:42 The Real Brady Bros podcast
	12:46pm listener phat in Lincoln: Never heard it "california sober" before.

	12:46pm Squints: ↳ Listener Baby @12:45 Heh. Probably makes Denny sing it.
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Squints @12:43 PF Sloan tune : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:47pm davefromtoronto: it's all about moderation.
	12:47pm Alan in Marblehead: Thanks egould!
	12:47pm gf2002: One of my favorite classic studio stories came from Cher: When Spector was recording Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Leon was one of the piano players. Leon improvised those piano lines at the end of the song, and Spector was so moved by the part Leon created, he pulled out his personal checkbook and wrote Leon a bonus check on the spot for playing it. I have to track down that book too!
	12:47pm modern blaze: Cali sob
	12:48pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "California Sober" by "Billy Strings And Willie Ne... Baby. They used to say the same thing about Gillian Welch.

	12:50pm josh from chicago: enjoying the show, cleaning up the house, just had to log in to weight in on this very important topic, lol
	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "California Sober" by "Billy Strings And Willie Ne... Apparently Demi Lovato coined (and has since disavowed) the term "CA sober."
	12:52pm modern blaze: ↳ josh from chicago @12:50 good for you tho
	12:52pm SeanG: VU!
	12:52pm clarke: and it was all right.
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Bob @12:49 That sounds like a great book, I will definitely seek it out soon. Thanks for the tip!

	8:23pm Mark R from New Paltz: ↳ Song: "He's Not A Boy" by "Like, The" "He's Not a Boy" sounds like a song Juniper could have covered.

	11:13am clarke: so it's just toledo.
	11:13am Squints: ↳ Squints @11:12 What I love about the Buffalo is how the radio news anchors, no matter their communications school backgrounds, say it, "hunnert."
	11:13am clarke: maybe Bob can pop down to Toledo - it's not far.
	11:14am Squints: ↳ Song: "Shadrack" by "Louis Prima" Is this Ahab's uncle?

	11:19am clarke: but a mudhens tshirt wouldn't be bad
	11:19am Bob: First place I ever saw NRBQ was at a beautiful riverfront gig. Al was so hungover when he first woke up.
	11:19am Listener Baby: Super fun fact. Or not? James Dean died 15 minutes from my house, and the great Don Rich died very close by too. And just when you thought I would never amount to anything.
	11:20am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:19 i been to that field/fence!!

	11:26am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:24 I know! It's brisk, man. Our anniversary was last week and as it happened we got super chilly mid-May Saturday, just like our wedding day. Sometimes it snows in April, quoth Prince, and sometimes May is cold-n-dreary.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:26 Happy Anniv!! the boys still home??
	11:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "Goodbye, So Long" by "Ike And Tina Turner" RIP Tina T. goodbye so long!

	11:30am clarke: u gotta pay if you don't own yer house, no hose, etc. but i go to wash it yerself. in a dangerous hood.
	11:31am ledzeppelinsucks: Car wash lines are now Chik-a-Fil lines. The one on Crow Canyon Road sometimes blocks an intersection.
	11:33am mike east: I’ll add my voice to the chorus- last weeks interview was great. I was surprised both by how long it was and more so by how I didn’t want it to end. Totally unexpected
	11:33am SecretSquirrel: I’ve paid for having the car washed – not only for the visible parts but also the undercarriage, which can get corroded from road salt, etc.
	11:34am clarke: i would never play Dead Or Alive with anyone.
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ mike east @11:33 I heartily concur on both points.
	11:34am nycmusicnerd: Ike Turner died in 2007.
	11:35am modern blaze: yes hi i can’t do anything except listening to this program they bug me fucked me up called fug i want them die all now i peacefully lay in the bed and comment
	11:35am clarke: see? i thought he was alive.
	11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:34 Would you play Dead or Alive (the band) with anyone?
	11:35am Bucci: Ike Turner: Drop dead
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:35 sure? a tribute - let's do it!
	11:36am myron feld: I got to a car wash a couple times per year. Word on the street is that it's more environmentally friendly than doing it yourself. So sayeth the treehuggers at the EPA: cfpub.epa.gov...
	11:36am modern blaze: Bucci! help me out
	11:36am listener phat in Lincoln: Not a saz, but an oud
	11:37am SecretSquirrel: Oud have thunk it?

	11:39am modern blaze: can i talk in russian says всё ок ребят расходимся я скватт и дисчардж слушаю а не выпендриваюсь!)
	11:40am gf2002: The interview last week was fascinating. It led me to check out more of the artists who were mentioned. It could have gone for another hour and I would have kept listening. Only thing is I wish there were a way to view the early Beatles photos he snapped, some of them have to be out there somewhere. Also interesting to hear how he wasn't that impressed hearing the Beatles at the Cavern, I hear reports that they were either all out rock and roll like they apparently were in Hamburg, or some shows they played sloppy like they were in a living room hanging out instead of on stage. Nice to hear another eyewitness add to the reporting.
	11:40am clarke: sounds like somebody needs some rope moved.
	11:40am modern blaze: can’t you let it be the same
	11:41am myron feld: ↳ Squints @11:38 A GREAT song!
	11:42am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Like Every Time Before" by "Hollies, The" These kids had stellar album cuts. You got to look for them. Or have the great Baby play them
	11:42am ledzeppelinsucks: Las Vegas Boulevard and Strip are UGLY. So are other party disaster areas. San Diego Gas Lamp, New Orleans French Quarter, Seattle Pioneer Square, Miami Beach South Beach and Revolution Boulevard in Tijuana. They look great in the dark. In daylight they are unsightly.
	11:42am jmd: ↳ Song: "Like Every Time Before" by "Hollies, The" great rhythm section on this. Fantastic.
	11:43am clarke: bobby elliott!!!
	11:43am modern blaze: this is post-apocalyptic experience
	11:43am clarke: i think the french quarter looks fantastic during the day. all day.
	11:43am gf2002: ↳ SecretSquirrel @11:33 It's good to get the deluxe automatic wash sometime after the winter or even during, whenever there is salt on the roads. Helps prevent rust as mentioned, and unless you have a lift in your garage you can't do a full undercarriage clean in the driveway. That's this week's episode of Car Talk... :)
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	11:44am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:40 There must be a word for those who prefer the drums all on one side of the stereo mix, perhaps with a German root.
	11:44am Hughie Considine: That was not meant for you specifically, Clarke, but for the world at large.
	11:44am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Jambalaya" by "Wanda Jackson" son of a gun we gonna have big fun
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: I have a black car now, so I wash the car regularly and I do the drive-through because I'm lazy.
	11:45am clarke: monomenschen.

	11:45am Squints: ↳ modern blaze @11:44 whoopie doopie, we have big fun

	11:46am Mister Dobalina: x'cuse me while I guess this guy.
	11:46am Mister Dobalina: *kiss
	11:47am modern blaze: My favorite says Вьетнам детка опять и опять мазафакер еаас
	11:47am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" I was born in Ft. Campbell, KY, on the army base where Jimi was then a paratrooper. That's kind of like being in the presence of royalty, I figure.
	11:47am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" Readily available from the Shaftman comp/x-rated comedy record --> www.discogs.com...
	11:47am listener phat in Lincoln: Electric bass certainly changed jazz a whole lot.
	11:47am gf2002: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Johnny Jones And The King Casuals" Purple Haze with a clean guitar tone.
	11:47am clarke: a kentuckian!! who knew??
	11:49am Listener Baby: Baby. Heard a Jerry Jemott bass line in a commercial yesterday. From that King Curtis song. Nothing is sacred. Also. I don’t know why I’m tell you this.
	11:50am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:47 right? It was brief but there it is on my birth certificate. The folks got into Flatt & Scruggs and the Opry, so I think it all seeped in.
	11:51am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:50 seeped.
	11:53am clarke: sweet break!! that's all the 'solo' ever needed.
	11:53am modern blaze: who wants to know me i need evacuation to my apartment in NJ let’s hang at Monty Hall then squat
	11:53am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:49 Baby = care to tell us what town your new tasting room is situated in??
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: I'm sitting here avoiding cleaning. Although, my calendar for the day says cleaning starts at 11:00
	11:55am clarke: i've never found chicago to be a very friendly musical environment.
	11:55am modern blaze: Airplane tickets more than 100 thousands or about so to and back help me out you Bucci
	11:55am modern blaze: In RU currency
	11:59am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Rami Gabriel" Rami, Chicago is very very decent City and then

	12:09pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "All Them Little Things" by "Rami And The Reliables" Beautiful, beautiful song an all
	12:10pm Listener Baby: I get it. Rami is not very smart. Plain to see.
	12:10pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:10 ?
	12:11pm Listener Baby: Kidding!
	12:11pm Bob: Saxophone alert!
	12:11pm Yapper: I read that as sarcasm. This guy is a genius. Amazing music.
	12:12pm Listener Baby: ↳ Yapper @12:11 Thanks Yapper. Jeez you guys!,
	12:12pm modern blaze: cool nickname Yapper
	12:12pm clarke: also: shelley just supported a SAX SOLO. right there.
	12:14pm clarke: Them's guitar players were GREAT!! both.
	12:14pm modern blaze: agree
	12:14pm Bob: I feel like Them don't get nearly enough respect and the Yardbirds get entirely too much. Discuss.
	12:15pm SeanG: those double stops
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:14 i love their releases after ivan left.
	12:15pm modern blaze: ybirds no go((
	12:17pm Bob: Yardbirds albums have much goofy filler. That's what I'm saying. Singles are great.
	12:19pm modern blaze: I like it, and i like you, Bob for loving Them
	12:19pm Bob: The Louisville Slugger reissue has been in my player for weeks. For once Terry's endless tinkering really did improve a reissue. I think the new version really improves an already great record.
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin' this tune...
	12:23pm modern blaze: to favorites
	12:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "Saved" by "LaVern Baker" I felt that last one in my soul. Or at least whatever resembles a soul.
	12:27pm Listener Baby: Wood chips
	12:27pm Mister Dobalina: Mulch
	12:27pm SeanG: twigs!
	12:28pm P-90: “cedar shake” or “redwood shake” ?
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Any Time Of Day" by "Lemon Twigs, The" it is interesting the direction they took for this album. or maybe they just decided to to organize the songs in a certain way, rather. i certainly love it.
	12:29pm Listener Baby: Chips of Wood
	12:29pm drr: I've listened to the new Lemon Twigs a dozen times now...I feel like the younger brother isn't represented enough on this one. There's no insane rock numbers like "The Fire". But absolutely, go get it.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: Smelly mulch. I think cedar shake is what goes on the side of a house...
	12:29pm Vic in Longmont: ↳ Song: "Any Time Of Day" by "Lemon Twigs, The" Gettin some Bread vibes from this
	12:30pm drr: oh hey clarke. I think I see what you mean. It's a lot of one sound.
	12:30pm gf2002: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:29 Better option would be 1400 pounds of aquamarine colored gravel, UPS will deliver it
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:30 DRR!! you been busy!! nice day, huh?
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:29 It's true. Michael's unhinged-ness seems less prevalent.
	12:32pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "There Ain't No Use In Hanging On" by "Marmalade, ... Holy hell
	12:32pm drr: Pretty day! I'm painting. Also dog-sitting.
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: Rubber mulch nuggets. The kids fall down and they don't get hurt.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:30 yeah, it is like ALL power ballads, but i dig it.
	12:32pm Squints: Not even Greg Marmalard?
	12:32pm modern blaze: ↳ Song: "Something On Your Mind" by "Karen Dalton" Classic
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:32 HP!! gooday
	12:33pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:30 Or maybe just a lot of rope. We know some guys who can move it.
	12:33pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:32 It's a lot of songs about unhappiness and loneliness too, which....I just don't believe it! I simply insist that they are having a wonderful time.
	12:33pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Something On Your Mind" by "Karen Dalton" Probably my favorite unusual voice
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:32 dog??
	12:34pm egould: ↳ Squints @12:32 “He’s a sneaky little shit, just like you.”

	12:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ clarke @12:33 Hola, yo
	12:35pm sonnyspop: Oogie singing all growd up.
	12:35pm Bob: Hey, big endorsement for the new Leon Russell book by Bill Janovitz. I'm only a little bit of a fan so maybe it hit me even harder. The unravelling of his session work is just blowing my mind every page. I knew he did a lot but the records he played on...staggering!
	12:35pm clarke: no humility in the air, today, Hubig. it's a comin' tho
	12:35pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:34 yeah, ex-g.f's dog, Daisy. A blind part pit bull. Here she comes wanting something.
	12:35pm modern blaze: cool nickname sonnyspop
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:35 daisy!!

	12:38pm paul: Follow this up with "Topless"
	12:39pm gf2002: Greg Brady as Johnny Bravo wore the best clothes of the early 70's. As Linc would say: "Solid."
	12:39pm Listener Baby: Shot out to the person who coined the phrase, Bell Bottoms. Th day it was spoken, I was going to last forever.
	12:39pm clarke: there's definitely some rope that needs to get moved.
	12:39pm egould: Redd Kross “Elephant Flares”

	12:40pm Mike Sin: Excellent show today! As usual, I completely enjoyed the interview.

	12:40pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Bob @12:35 I'm digging it too, but bracing for the downfall.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:35 i need to read that - maybe there should be a cut-off point??
	12:41pm Mister Dobalina: Gonna havta clicky star fav this one...
	12:42pm Alan in Marblehead: Sorry didn’t catch name of Brady podcast?
	12:43pm egould: No Bug Club today?
	12:43pm Bob: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:40 Yeah, I don't really know his story either but I see that where it's going. His credits are just insane. He's basically the backbone of Whipped Cream and Other Delights? Who knew that! Somebody I suppose. Clarke, I got it from the library.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Another Day, Another Heartache" by "5th Dimension... This sounds very John Phillipsy. Mamas & Papas ever do this?
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:43 i know about most of his sessions, but i don't need to know about his solo career, all that much.
	12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Another Day, Another Heartache" by "5th Dimension... 5D going straight for the MamasPapas thang.
	12:45pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:44 I had no idea he's the organ player on The Ventures version of Telstar for instance.

	12:47pm davefromtoronto: it's all about moderation.
	12:47pm Alan in Marblehead: Thanks egould!
	12:47pm gf2002: One of my favorite classic studio stories came from Cher: When Spector was recording Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Leon was one of the piano players. Leon improvised those piano lines at the end of the song, and Spector was so moved by the part Leon created, he pulled out his personal checkbook and wrote Leon a bonus check on the spot for playing it. I have to track down that book too!

	12:51pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "California Sober" by "Billy Strings And Willie Ne... Apparently Demi Lovato coined (and has since disavowed) the term "CA sober."
