	9:18am Dan near StL: Happy ‘24 Joe and all listening on comments. Instead of changing smoke detector batteries, I cleaned, changed blade rotation (to counter clockwise) replaced bulbs in my ceiling fans yesterday. Both sad and satisfying somehow. If other states follow CO, it’ll be a promising year. Fingers crossed.
	♥ 9:18am Luisa24: William Eggleston...the Photographer???
	9:18am Fredericks: Happy New Year, Joseph. This music is perfect for this morning. Thanks.
	9:19am C in Aquebogue: Yeah he has a new album out!! On Bandcamp no less!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Ol' Man River" by "William Eggleston" ooh - I'd forgotten about Eggleston the musician / more famous for his Big Star and art photography. And for screwing as many 20-year-old girls as he could.
	9:20am C in Aquebogue: Uh oh.
	9:20am Fredericks: Stars on all three songs. Mary Lattimore already had one.
	9:21am Dan near StL: What a co incidence! Exactly one year ago I went to Memphis for my first time, to find, meet WM. Eggleston. He’d moved but I shot his house, even dumpster dove, then went across the street to meet, talk to his neighbor.
	♥ 9:21am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Funny, just this morning was looking for some relaxing music to do some deep breathing to. And clicked on your 12/18 show. So good. Then realized you might be on this morning…kind of nice to lose track of the days, with the kids off from school and all of us just sort of decompressing from the demands of regimented life and flu season. We’re not much for the commodified holiday stuff here, trying to show the kids another way. So your show now is the perfect salve. Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @9:18 yes, herre's to making originalists'; heads explode ... then when we decide the 2A is due for a rewrite
	9:22am Dan near StL: This sounds like a sequel to Neil’s “Borrowed Tune”.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am Dano59: happy new year everybody and thx Joe for reminding us of the good from '23
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: ↳ Song: "When I Hold You in My Arms" by "Neil Young" This song is "getting" to me this morning...wow.
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: ↳ Song: "When I Hold You in My Arms" by "Neil Young" I didn't know about this latest Neil slab, just out a few weeks. Old tunes reconsidered, huh.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am G: Salute to last year! set
	9:28am Dan near StL: I watched the YT doc. on Eggleston. No mention of him being musical other than LP cover photography. The LP’s and original pics were both in his big retrospective at Art Institute of Chicago a couple years ago. I love Big Star, their doc. is sad, terrific too.
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: ↳ TDK60 @9:27 It's very nice! Songs I didn't really pay much attention to sometimes, like this one from "Are You Passionate?"
	9:30am Dan near StL: I’m binge watching Netflix for a month. Some decent stuff there. Not a resolution really.
	9:31am Dan near StL: Nice Cat cover!
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: ↳ Dan near StL @9:30 Is there a second season of "Attorney Woo" yet? That's the only show I like. :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Wild World" by "Molly Miller Trio" Wow, a "Wild World" cover I can get down wtih...strong Gabor Szabo vibes on the guitar playing
	9:33am Dan near StL: I haven’t come across that, I’ll see. Glass Onion film was ok. Reptile crime film is terrific.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Spikey BXL: ↳ PKNY @9:10 Happy New Year PKNY and thanks for turning me onto the Pharaoh Sanders re-issue. What an absolute GEM
	♥ 9:35am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Wild World" by "Molly Miller Trio" Amazingly tight playing! Excellent cover.
	9:35am Dan near StL: I love early Terry Kath Chicago! First couple records.
	♥ 9:35am StringOFperils: Here's to brave new beginnings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am PKNY: ↳ Spikey BXL @9:34 Sharing is caring, glad you were able to get yourself a copy. Everyone else out there should do the same!
	9:36am Dan near StL: I’ll drink to that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" This song became one of my favorites over 2023, I specifically gave the Astrud Gilberto version a ton of play
	9:36am pp: Robert Lamm perfecto
	9:37am Rick A: Happy New Year Joe and All, I really slept in, though I didn't do anything special as my wife was really sick yesterday. At midnight, I was on Bandcamp listening to and purchasing songs. I guess there are worse things to do at the strike of the new year.
	♥ 9:37am Ben from Newark: Happy new year everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am tim: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" My first song of 2024! Happy new year, Joe and all my very good buddies!
	♥ 9:38am duke: ↳ PKNY @9:36 I was just listening to Astrud Gilberto's version of this song yesterday.
	♥ 9:38am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" Depending on one’s age this is one of those many early 70’s radio hits that both the kids and parents could really dig on together while driving in the car. Such a great sunny vibe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am DjLorraine: Good Morning McGaskonians. Begin again.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am LastWhiteRhino: More horns in 2024 !
	9:39am Frances: I remember when this song came out! Such a big hit.
	9:41am Rick A: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" I had Chicago's Greatest Hits growing up, and, yes, my parents and I grooved to this song and 25 or 6 to 4", and "Saturday in the Park" among others.
	9:41am goofy mark: zinn..depends on taste..never liked this band Chicago or cta
	9:41am heinseng: School bus driver played this and all top 40 hits on the AM radio as he chomped his cigar. Shades of Mickey Hart in this percussion break!
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" Looks like I leaned about the Astrud Gilberto version of this from Joe, so much thanks for that!
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	♥ 9:42am Joe McG: ↳ PKNY @9:42 I think I played it on my last New Year's show! :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am Erica from Cranford: Happy New Year, Joe! And listeners! Making waffles. Love Chicago!
	♥ 9:43am john_zilla: happy new year Joe!! and all!! starting breakfast
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am tim: ↳ goofy mark @9:41 I have to disagree with you there. The CTA is one of the premiere public transit systems around. ;)
	9:44am mark: Tim funny I like this accordion!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am PKNY: ↳ Joe McG @9:42 I have it clicky-starred from a show of yours in 2018!
	9:45am goofy mark: I like Joe mcg 90%
	9:46am Dan near StL: Well…it was once terrible, filthy, disgusting to ride daily, which I did. It could only improve luckily. Which it has thank goodness! I was amazed at how great NYC subways were, early 2000’s.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Layet J: Great start to hear your voice on New Year's day, Joe!
	♥ 9:46am StringOFperils: Epochal cojones for playing Chicago at all. Bravely, stridently, forward into the future past.
	♥ 9:47am Zinn The Mood: ↳ heinseng @9:41 Ha - what an image! Can you imagine a school bus driver today filling the air of his bus full of children with smoke? Just made me recall something I hadn’t thought of in years. That my bus driver in Jr High referred to the young girls we were chasing as “little chippies.”
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: May I posit that about a week after Solstice is maybe not entirely arbitrary. Me - I'd start the year with the beginning of the zodiac @ Spring Equinox ...but once again ...not consulted...
	9:48am Dan near StL: CTA yet another band that sold mega, with their least interesting songs, records. Cars, “Drive” their only #1.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am tim: Mr McGasko Knows - haha! That’s what I’d call NYE festivities too!
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had a sax teacher smoked a pipe. As I'm straining my little lungs on the thing - in a little practice room. Can't recall I minded much...
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 Was your teacher Peter Brotzmann?
	9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @9:50 Geez if only.
	♥ 9:52am TDK60: Sometimes "improvements" are not quite such.
	9:53am Marc15: Did your new landlord raise your rent to pay for the renovation?
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Marc15 @9:53 You bet they did! Those florescent light fixtures cost money. :(
	9:54am Dan near StL: I saw the auction catalog of items from Caribou Ranch, the studio where CTA, later Chicago, made their records. James William guercio, his place, studio.
	9:55am Marc15: @Joe McG :-(
	♥ 9:55am TDK60: ↳ Marc15 @9:53 Marc15- Oh! That's right, rent is due. And the landlord always ups the amount. Happy New Year dear landlord.
	♥ 9:56am HyperDose: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 What pitch sax did/do you play?
	9:56am Dan near StL: Health clubs packed, today, tomorrow. By Valentine’s Day, not so much.
	9:57am Dan near StL: TDK, batteries not included. Smoke detectors.
	♥ 9:57am iiibeat: Happy Partial Calendar Reset!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: I have to buy a new calendar!
	9:59am Dan near StL: The Eggleston doc shows a briefcase full of 20 plus, screw mount Leica camera bodies. Jaw dropping image. It took me over 20 years to find one affordable, in good shape.
	♥ 10:00am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 No smoking from my sax teacher. But both my parents did growing up. Until I complained about it on a long trip to FLA. Which led to my Dad quitting cold turkey. Mom had already quit. Pipe smoke, especially scented, has always been a pleasant smell to me. Cigarettes and cigars on the contrary are awful. Ironically, I’m in the middle of reading Fidel Castro: My Life (a spoken autobiography). Ironic how cigar smoking had been taken up by corporate criminals in clubhouses when it had always been, along with obligatory guerrilla beard, the iconic facial fixture of Cuban revolutionaries!
	10:02am Dan near StL: I shot Eggleston’s large garage interior, tagged everywhere by gangs. Some quite beautiful actually.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: Kirsty!
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am luka: happy new year wfmu land. my only resolution is to listen to that stack of dj premiums finally.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Dark Road" by "Richard Hawley" Love this record and I haven't heard it in so long.
	10:07am Marc15: @ TDK60: 3% raise in my rent a year for me
	🎸 ♥ 10:09am Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Joe McG and all!!! Happy new year everyone!!!
	10:09am Marc15: Happy New Year
	♥ 10:10am TDK60: ↳ Marc15 @10:07 Marc15 - I'd like to blow my New Year party blower into my landlord's face. But I never see them anyway. But, we must be sympathetic for these poor little landlords; they need more funds. Sniff sniff.
	♥ 10:10am Cooh John: Happy new year, Joe and surface dwellers.
	10:12am Brendan: Hi Joe and all. Nice start to things!
	♥ 10:13am Luisa24: love this Sachiko Kanenobu...really a throw back sound that i love
	♥ 10:13am Cooh John: ↳ TDK60 @10:10 Handy has a photo on his profile page you may like.
	♥ 10:14am Cooh John: ↳ TDK60 @10:10 Handy has a photo on his profile page you may like.
	♥ 10:16am Cooh John: ↳ luka @10:05 New year, new dj premiums to come!
	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Happy new year to everyone!
	10:17am morphe': MCI [rent increases] and renting to rich out of state rotating students are staples of NYC landlords ... above and beyond the Rent Guidelines Board decisions... The Rent Stabilization Association is actually a landlord lobbying group trying to eliminate what little is left of stabilized units ...
	♥ 10:18am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:55 Just months after Fidel, Che, Raul and their courageous comrades of the Granma took over at the start of the new year 1959, they instituted sweeping rent reform. Yes, rent reform. Rents were drastically reduced, with the opportunity for the buy their own places. It can be done! But not if all elections are locked up in legalized bribery, as they are here. And you say, all we tenants, you want a (don’t want a Socialist) Revolution? Life would immediately become better once the boot of the Capitalist economy would be removed from our collective necks! At some point soon one has to wonder how long this nightmare of prolonged precarity in America can go on…
	10:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aw. Got a paroxysm & hadda play some elektrik gittar. & look @ this Set I miss.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19am steveo: Happy New Year, Joe. My ears are glad. And Happy New Year everyone.
	10:19am Listener Bryan (the Professor): The twists and turns in these lyrics.
	♥ 10:20am fred: Happy new year all. I'm a bit worried about that earthquake
	♥ 10:21am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:18 Zinn: I'm all in for this drastic rent reduction stuff! But do I hafta smoke cigars too?
	♥ 10:22am TDK60: ↳ Cooh John @10:16 Thanks Cooh John, out on the plains.
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dan near StL @9:54 Just a kid with an Alto. Got one now too. I'd love to try a Tenor...
	10:23am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Good morning Joe & a happiest new year to you & WFMU listeners everywhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am egould: Happy New Year!! Take some Motrin….
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...my Pitch is Too Damned High...
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am steveo: Bass sax or bust™
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Landlords first against the wall in the Commie Revolution. Obviously.
	10:30am Joe B: happy new year Joe and everyone! goign back an hour or so, the neil young are you passionate album was 2002
	🎸 ♥ 10:30am Brian in UK: Joe, Single File on early. Is this record? Wot no Aardvark?
	♥ 10:31am Joe McG: ↳ Joe B @10:30 Thanks, Joe!
	10:31am BillfromRockTavern: Happy NewYear Joe!
	10:31am Emily: SOS is my favorite ABBA ❤️❤️❤️😸😸😸🥳🥳🥳
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Dano59: oh, maaaan!! "S.O.S." came on the radio a few months ago as I pulled into a diner to meet someone; I cranked it and couldn't get out of the car until it was over. What a BIG BIG hook this has
	10:32am Emily: Also, is your talk over music from yr dad’s band ?
	♥ 10:32am Joe McG: Is anyone better at making uplifting music with lyrics about misery?
	10:33am gfy mark: Abba 100 times better than chicago
	10:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Android Mamas & Papas. Well they were good @ it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am steveo: ↳ Song: "SOS" by "ABBA" Is it me, or does everything sound best on a 45?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Dano59: ↳ Joe McG @10:32 I dunno - Matthew Sweet?
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: ↳ Emily @10:32 Oh, no, that was Booker T & the MGs. :)
	10:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ steveo @10:33 Faster rotation means more groove per second - better fidelity - all else being equal.
	10:34am alan the painter: Good Morning Joe, Happy New Year!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am Dano59: ↳ gfy mark @10:33 back in the early days of CDs I found out a lot of my friends all owned "ABBA Gold".
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am steveo: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:34 I'll buy it!
	10:35am gfy msk: been to montenegro..1000 times more beautiful than chicago, the city
	♥ 10:36am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @10:21 I’ll tell you, comrade TDK, I’d gladly, and with gusto too, put a cigar in regular rotation if there was a successful socialist revolution. At least one doesn’t inhale the smoke of a cigar! And that’s no lie…
	10:36am Frances: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:34 higher surface to noise ratio
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @10:32 A good point. A certain admixture of the Ups & Downs. I have an idea TheBeatles had this alchemy of Boomer confidence & WorkingClass Blues ...& why a lot of PowerPop doesn't get it exactly right...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am steveo: ↳ Frances @10:36 A+
	10:37am Andres: Joe on the radio?! It’s a New Year’s morning miracle! HNY to all!
	♥ 10:39am anne: happy new new!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frances @10:36 Hm. That too I guess. Think Singles are a little closer to the ToyBox culturally than Albums. & get treated like it... I think 45s bring the Bass in a different way, no ? Skip less...
	♥ 10:39am Cooh John: ↳ Joe McG @10:32 ABBAsolutely no one!
	♥ 10:40am chresti: Hi Joe and surfies! Happpy New Jeer from San Francisco

	♥ 10:43am Joey C: Happy New Year Joe! Hope you got a chance to stop by the CD sale at Monty Hall. It was Chock-Full-O-Select CDs.
	♥ 10:43am xtrakrispy: ↳ Song: "Prime Time" by "The Tubes" That was a good Todd Rundgren song,mistakenly identified as The Tubes. :^)

	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mellow Yellow" by "Senator Bobby & Senator McKinl... Kind of odd that they chose McKinley, who was assassinated. You'd think they would have avoided any association with that. I guess Bill Minkin's career disappeared faster than Vaughan Meader's.
	11:04am clarke: all todd-y. dig!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Oooo, Vocal Fry fill-in! Start yer yodelin'!

	♥ 11:15am Yes: good morning friends
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am Listener Bryan (the Professor): They may take away Buffy's indigenous status but they can't take away the fact that she breastfed her kid on Sesame Street. She'll always be a hero for that.
	11:17am Fredericks: ↳ Cooh John @11:10 I caught him only once with Guy Clark and Robert Earl Keen.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17am listener 126464: ↳ Song: "Mellow Yellow" by "Senator Bobby & Senator McKinl... Happy new year, Joe McG.! Senator Bobby's cover of Wild Thing hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Song: "I'll Be Here in the Morning" by "Propinquity" never heard that version, but push comes to shove, that may be my fave townes.
	11:18am clarke: ↳ Fredericks @11:17 that's amazing, too!
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Brian in UK: ↳ Cooh John @11:10 Read that as 'TVZ played at my hangover'.
	11:19am Jason from Screwston: This Loretta… My heart.
	11:19am clarke: i never caught townes playing live, but i met him when he was producing The Marilyns in memphis once.
	♥ 11:19am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @11:18 Ho Brian: That's a possible song title there...
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: ↳ clarke @11:19 Tell me more!
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:20 hah, it was a brief handshake - not a whole lot of conversation, as they were recording.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @11:15 After reading this : pitchfork.com... - the 'Pretendian' business seems to me a she said / they said situation...
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: ↳ clarke @11:21 Still cool! I saw these dudes live, but I never pressed any flesh.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:19 Shook Townes Van Zandt's hand !!!
	11:24am clarke: yeah, sadly i did not go to lunch with them. i am thinking i could have chatted more.
	11:27am Fredericks: ↳ clarke @11:19 That sounds interesting.
	♥ 11:28am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning, and Happy New Year to you all.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ Fredericks @11:27 well, it was certainly interesting watching him 'produce' - i was just a fly on the wall.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Dano59: I had a bandmate (he died in a car accident 2 years ago) who loved Townes and did many of his songs -- 'Tecumseh Valley' among them. Apparently Vin Scelsa was TVZ's early road manager, with a lot of picaresque stories.
	11:30am Jason from Screwston: What a great selection. Thank you for this, Joe.
	11:31am Drewid: Great stretch of music going on right now. Happy New Year!
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ Jason from Screwston @11:30 Happy New Year, pal.
	♥ 11:32am HyperDose: Didn't think it could get any better after that Single File. Boy was I wrong
	🎸 ♥ 11:32am dreamyandseedy: i'm enjoying it too, thank you Joe! reminds me i started listening to the Thrift Shop Radio archive, so good
	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Glad you guys are enjoying it! Townes' songs are strong, it's fun to hear other folks having a try at 'em. Townes' versions are the best, though!
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am Dano59: 'The Late Great', 'Live at the Old Quarter' and 'Roadsongs' were my favorites in the years before Townes passed. And after that, the 'Heartworn Highways' documentary with bonus footage is OUTSTANDING.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:29 sorry to hear about your friend -- i really have a soft spot for those early townes albums!!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Townes is like Dylan & Cohen - it's not just good - there's truths you can put in your toolbox to use in Life.
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: ↳ Dano59 @11:33 "Old Quarter" one of the best live albums of all-time.
	11:35am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:33 the extra footage where townes makes the old guy cry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am Dano59: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:34 ... and I'd stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:21 Thanks! I hadn't seen that update to the story.
	♥ 11:36am Glorious Estephonic: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: Townes was the cosmic cowboy of the magically blown circuits. He was out there in the Texas wind somewhere
	🎸 ♥ 11:36am Brian in UK: ↳ Joe McG @11:35 Apart from the jokes!!
	♥ 11:37am Joe McG: ↳ Brian in UK @11:36 Ha ha! Well, they're better than Tim Buckley's! :)
	♥ 11:37am spodiodi: happy new year, Joe and all!
	11:37am Andres: Dude from Tindersticks could sing the phone book type deal.
	11:37am clarke: has Tindersticks put out anything lately?? they kinda fell off my map.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Kathleen" by "Tindersticks" This is solid as a rock.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: Raised a glass to all those we last year. But also raising it to all of you and all those still with us. Cheers, WFMU.
	♥ 11:38am Yes: heyyy cheers handy
	11:38am clarke: nice, Handy!
	♥ 11:39am dr_handsome: ↳ clarke @11:37 Their soundtrack to the Claire Denis film Stars at Noon is fantastic!
	11:39am johnk77: the later townes doc be here to love me is on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BADaK_1VfnI&list=WL&index=1&t=3s

	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @11:38 Raising my mug in your general direction.
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am Dano59: ↳ clarke @11:39 2 years ago? I watched it last year.
	♥ 11:40am dr_handsome: ↳ clarke @11:39 The end of 2022, I really liked it, everyone I know hated it but everyone agrees the soundtrack is a winner.
	♥ 11:40am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Kathleen" by "Tindersticks" Happy new year to joe and all. I’m standing on the Bowery and I can kinda imagine tindersticks here right now
	11:41am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:40 will have to check that. seems like they've been quiet of late? (but what do i know?).
	11:41am clarke: ↳ dr_handsome @11:40 ah. ok, will check the score.
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:38 Excellent, will do the same thing today, it's a wonderful way to toast the new year.

	11:47am Katharsis: thanks Joe and radio people. out here listening
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Dano59: ↳ dr_handsome @11:40 I liked it. The lead character is so messed up and the Central American setting was so politically tense.

	🎸 ♥ 9:16am LastWhiteRhino: Happy New Year to you Joe. Sending you best wishes for a fantastic 2024. As for all the fine listeners of this fine show, have a great year and beyond.
	9:18am Dan near StL: Happy ‘24 Joe and all listening on comments. Instead of changing smoke detector batteries, I cleaned, changed blade rotation (to counter clockwise) replaced bulbs in my ceiling fans yesterday. Both sad and satisfying somehow. If other states follow CO, it’ll be a promising year. Fingers crossed.
	♥ 9:18am Luisa24: William Eggleston...the Photographer???
	9:18am Fredericks: Happy New Year, Joseph. This music is perfect for this morning. Thanks.
	9:19am C in Aquebogue: Yeah he has a new album out!! On Bandcamp no less!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Dano59: ↳ Song: "Ol' Man River" by "William Eggleston" ooh - I'd forgotten about Eggleston the musician / more famous for his Big Star and art photography. And for screwing as many 20-year-old girls as he could.
	9:20am C in Aquebogue: Uh oh.
	9:20am Fredericks: Stars on all three songs. Mary Lattimore already had one.
	9:21am Dan near StL: What a co incidence! Exactly one year ago I went to Memphis for my first time, to find, meet WM. Eggleston. He’d moved but I shot his house, even dumpster dove, then went across the street to meet, talk to his neighbor.
	♥ 9:21am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Funny, just this morning was looking for some relaxing music to do some deep breathing to. And clicked on your 12/18 show. So good. Then realized you might be on this morning…kind of nice to lose track of the days, with the kids off from school and all of us just sort of decompressing from the demands of regimented life and flu season. We’re not much for the commodified holiday stuff here, trying to show the kids another way. So your show now is the perfect salve. Thanks Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am Dano59: ↳ Dan near StL @9:18 yes, herre's to making originalists'; heads explode ... then when we decide the 2A is due for a rewrite
	9:22am Dan near StL: This sounds like a sequel to Neil’s “Borrowed Tune”.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am Dano59: happy new year everybody and thx Joe for reminding us of the good from '23
	🎸 ♥ 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: ↳ Song: "When I Hold You in My Arms" by "Neil Young" This song is "getting" to me this morning...wow.
	♥ 9:27am TDK60: ↳ Song: "When I Hold You in My Arms" by "Neil Young" I didn't know about this latest Neil slab, just out a few weeks. Old tunes reconsidered, huh.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am G: Salute to last year! set
	9:28am Dan near StL: I watched the YT doc. on Eggleston. No mention of him being musical other than LP cover photography. The LP’s and original pics were both in his big retrospective at Art Institute of Chicago a couple years ago. I love Big Star, their doc. is sad, terrific too.
	♥ 9:29am Joe McG: ↳ TDK60 @9:27 It's very nice! Songs I didn't really pay much attention to sometimes, like this one from "Are You Passionate?"
	9:30am Dan near StL: I’m binge watching Netflix for a month. Some decent stuff there. Not a resolution really.
	9:31am Dan near StL: Nice Cat cover!
	♥ 9:31am Joe McG: ↳ Dan near StL @9:30 Is there a second season of "Attorney Woo" yet? That's the only show I like. :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Wild World" by "Molly Miller Trio" Wow, a "Wild World" cover I can get down wtih...strong Gabor Szabo vibes on the guitar playing
	9:33am Dan near StL: I haven’t come across that, I’ll see. Glass Onion film was ok. Reptile crime film is terrific.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am Spikey BXL: ↳ PKNY @9:10 Happy New Year PKNY and thanks for turning me onto the Pharaoh Sanders re-issue. What an absolute GEM
	♥ 9:35am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Wild World" by "Molly Miller Trio" Amazingly tight playing! Excellent cover.
	9:35am Dan near StL: I love early Terry Kath Chicago! First couple records.
	♥ 9:35am StringOFperils: Here's to brave new beginnings!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am PKNY: ↳ Spikey BXL @9:34 Sharing is caring, glad you were able to get yourself a copy. Everyone else out there should do the same!
	9:36am Dan near StL: I’ll drink to that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" This song became one of my favorites over 2023, I specifically gave the Astrud Gilberto version a ton of play
	9:36am pp: Robert Lamm perfecto
	9:37am Rick A: Happy New Year Joe and All, I really slept in, though I didn't do anything special as my wife was really sick yesterday. At midnight, I was on Bandcamp listening to and purchasing songs. I guess there are worse things to do at the strike of the new year.
	♥ 9:37am Ben from Newark: Happy new year everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am tim: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" My first song of 2024! Happy new year, Joe and all my very good buddies!
	♥ 9:38am duke: ↳ PKNY @9:36 I was just listening to Astrud Gilberto's version of this song yesterday.
	♥ 9:38am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" Depending on one’s age this is one of those many early 70’s radio hits that both the kids and parents could really dig on together while driving in the car. Such a great sunny vibe.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38am DjLorraine: Good Morning McGaskonians. Begin again.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am LastWhiteRhino: More horns in 2024 !
	9:39am Frances: I remember when this song came out! Such a big hit.
	9:41am Rick A: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" I had Chicago's Greatest Hits growing up, and, yes, my parents and I grooved to this song and 25 or 6 to 4", and "Saturday in the Park" among others.
	9:41am goofy mark: zinn..depends on taste..never liked this band Chicago or cta
	9:41am heinseng: School bus driver played this and all top 40 hits on the AM radio as he chomped his cigar. Shades of Mickey Hart in this percussion break!
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Beginnings" by "Chicago Transit Authority" Looks like I leaned about the Astrud Gilberto version of this from Joe, so much thanks for that!
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️

	🎸 ♥ 9:43am tim: ↳ goofy mark @9:41 I have to disagree with you there. The CTA is one of the premiere public transit systems around. ;)
	9:44am mark: Tim funny I like this accordion!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am PKNY: ↳ Joe McG @9:42 I have it clicky-starred from a show of yours in 2018!
	9:45am goofy mark: I like Joe mcg 90%
	9:46am Dan near StL: Well…it was once terrible, filthy, disgusting to ride daily, which I did. It could only improve luckily. Which it has thank goodness! I was amazed at how great NYC subways were, early 2000’s.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46am Layet J: Great start to hear your voice on New Year's day, Joe!
	♥ 9:46am StringOFperils: Epochal cojones for playing Chicago at all. Bravely, stridently, forward into the future past.
	♥ 9:47am Zinn The Mood: ↳ heinseng @9:41 Ha - what an image! Can you imagine a school bus driver today filling the air of his bus full of children with smoke? Just made me recall something I hadn’t thought of in years. That my bus driver in Jr High referred to the young girls we were chasing as “little chippies.”
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: May I posit that about a week after Solstice is maybe not entirely arbitrary. Me - I'd start the year with the beginning of the zodiac @ Spring Equinox ...but once again ...not consulted...
	9:48am Dan near StL: CTA yet another band that sold mega, with their least interesting songs, records. Cars, “Drive” their only #1.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am tim: Mr McGasko Knows - haha! That’s what I’d call NYE festivities too!
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had a sax teacher smoked a pipe. As I'm straining my little lungs on the thing - in a little practice room. Can't recall I minded much...
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am tim: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 Was your teacher Peter Brotzmann?
	9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim @9:50 Geez if only.
	♥ 9:52am TDK60: Sometimes "improvements" are not quite such.
	9:53am Marc15: Did your new landlord raise your rent to pay for the renovation?
	♥ 9:54am Joe McG: ↳ Marc15 @9:53 You bet they did! Those florescent light fixtures cost money. :(
	9:54am Dan near StL: I saw the auction catalog of items from Caribou Ranch, the studio where CTA, later Chicago, made their records. James William guercio, his place, studio.
	9:55am Marc15: @Joe McG :-(
	♥ 9:55am TDK60: ↳ Marc15 @9:53 Marc15- Oh! That's right, rent is due. And the landlord always ups the amount. Happy New Year dear landlord.
	♥ 9:56am HyperDose: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 What pitch sax did/do you play?

	♥ 9:57am iiibeat: Happy Partial Calendar Reset!
	♥ 9:59am Joe McG: I have to buy a new calendar!
	9:59am Dan near StL: The Eggleston doc shows a briefcase full of 20 plus, screw mount Leica camera bodies. Jaw dropping image. It took me over 20 years to find one affordable, in good shape.
	♥ 10:00am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:49 No smoking from my sax teacher. But both my parents did growing up. Until I complained about it on a long trip to FLA. Which led to my Dad quitting cold turkey. Mom had already quit. Pipe smoke, especially scented, has always been a pleasant smell to me. Cigarettes and cigars on the contrary are awful. Ironically, I’m in the middle of reading Fidel Castro: My Life (a spoken autobiography). Ironic how cigar smoking had been taken up by corporate criminals in clubhouses when it had always been, along with obligatory guerrilla beard, the iconic facial fixture of Cuban revolutionaries!
	10:02am Dan near StL: I shot Eggleston’s large garage interior, tagged everywhere by gangs. Some quite beautiful actually.

	♥ 10:17am Joe McG: Happy new year to everyone!
	10:17am morphe': MCI [rent increases] and renting to rich out of state rotating students are staples of NYC landlords ... above and beyond the Rent Guidelines Board decisions... The Rent Stabilization Association is actually a landlord lobbying group trying to eliminate what little is left of stabilized units ...
	♥ 10:18am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:55 Just months after Fidel, Che, Raul and their courageous comrades of the Granma took over at the start of the new year 1959, they instituted sweeping rent reform. Yes, rent reform. Rents were drastically reduced, with the opportunity for the buy their own places. It can be done! But not if all elections are locked up in legalized bribery, as they are here. And you say, all we tenants, you want a (don’t want a Socialist) Revolution? Life would immediately become better once the boot of the Capitalist economy would be removed from our collective necks! At some point soon one has to wonder how long this nightmare of prolonged precarity in America can go on…

	♥ 10:36am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @10:21 I’ll tell you, comrade TDK, I’d gladly, and with gusto too, put a cigar in regular rotation if there was a successful socialist revolution. At least one doesn’t inhale the smoke of a cigar! And that’s no lie…
	10:36am Frances: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:34 higher surface to noise ratio
	10:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe McG @10:32 A good point. A certain admixture of the Ups & Downs. I have an idea TheBeatles had this alchemy of Boomer confidence & WorkingClass Blues ...& why a lot of PowerPop doesn't get it exactly right...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37am steveo: ↳ Frances @10:36 A+
	10:37am Andres: Joe on the radio?! It’s a New Year’s morning miracle! HNY to all!
	♥ 10:39am anne: happy new new!
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Frances @10:36 Hm. That too I guess. Think Singles are a little closer to the ToyBox culturally than Albums. & get treated like it... I think 45s bring the Bass in a different way, no ? Skip less...

	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Mellow Yellow" by "Senator Bobby & Senator McKinl... Kind of odd that they chose McKinley, who was assassinated. You'd think they would have avoided any association with that. I guess Bill Minkin's career disappeared faster than Vaughan Meader's.

	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @11:15 After reading this : pitchfork.com... - the 'Pretendian' business seems to me a she said / they said situation...

	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:19 Shook Townes Van Zandt's hand !!!
	11:24am clarke: yeah, sadly i did not go to lunch with them. i am thinking i could have chatted more.

	11:29am clarke: ↳ Fredericks @11:27 well, it was certainly interesting watching him 'produce' - i was just a fly on the wall.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Dano59: I had a bandmate (he died in a car accident 2 years ago) who loved Townes and did many of his songs -- 'Tecumseh Valley' among them. Apparently Vin Scelsa was TVZ's early road manager, with a lot of picaresque stories.
	11:30am Jason from Screwston: What a great selection. Thank you for this, Joe.
	11:31am Drewid: Great stretch of music going on right now. Happy New Year!

	♥ 11:33am Joe McG: Glad you guys are enjoying it! Townes' songs are strong, it's fun to hear other folks having a try at 'em. Townes' versions are the best, though!
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am Dano59: 'The Late Great', 'Live at the Old Quarter' and 'Roadsongs' were my favorites in the years before Townes passed. And after that, the 'Heartworn Highways' documentary with bonus footage is OUTSTANDING.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ Dano59 @11:29 sorry to hear about your friend -- i really have a soft spot for those early townes albums!!
	11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Townes is like Dylan & Cohen - it's not just good - there's truths you can put in your toolbox to use in Life.
	♥ 11:35am Joe McG: ↳ Dano59 @11:33 "Old Quarter" one of the best live albums of all-time.
