	♥ 1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @1:15 Or she could be chewing ice cubes.
	🎸 ♥ 1:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:15 or sometimes you just have a good seat at the party and you don't want to give it up to go get some more punch from the punchbowl
	♥ 1:21pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:20 It's a good defense mechanism or at the least a disguise too.
	🎸 ♥ 1:22pm fred: Good afternoon Krys and listener. For the record, I've done both (meaning getting the last drop of booze and chewing ice cubes)
	🎸 ♥ 1:22pm tom tom the pipers son: another mystery...how'd that casserole come out of a shorbox...?
	♥ 1:23pm Krys O.: Hello, fred!
	♥ 1:23pm gauche knee: Hey Krys O! dropping in to say LOVING this set…balances out the hXc punk night!

	♥ 1:24pm Krys O.: Welcome, gauche knee!!! Cheers!
	🎸 ♥ 1:25pm fred: ↳ Song: "Give Me a Girl and a Waltz (and a Barrel of Beer,... This (beer beer beer) reminds me of a Vicki track
	♥ 1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:25 I know what you mean.

	🎸 ♥ 1:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Love to Play the Glockenspiel" by "Georgie's Ta... is this where chuck berry got the idea?
	♥ 1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:28 It goes to show you never can tell. ;)
	🎸 ♥ 1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: yes...;)
	🎸 ♥ 1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: too many other women...?
	🎸 ♥ 1:32pm fred: ↳ Song: "What is a Husband?" by "Jayne Meadows" Wow, this is something... I'm too busy laughing to be offended
	🎸 ♥ 1:32pm tom tom the pipers son: liberace!
	🎸 ♥ 1:32pm WR: Ruth Roberts is new to me, so reading her Wikipedia page (the page you list has extensive discography but little info on Roberts). en.wikipedia.org... The Wikipedia page mentions Julliard and that she often collaborated with lyricist Bill Katz. So I am guessing she mostly wrote the music, not the lyrics.
	♥ 1:33pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:32 There were quite a few "What is..." records in the 1950s. Full of chauvinism and so much more.
	🎸 ♥ 1:33pm tom tom the pipers son: it's steve allen ... he was clever... this is all tongue in cheek
	🎸 ♥ 1:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:33 or maybe not
	♥ 1:35pm gauche knee: ↳ Song: "What is a Husband?" by "Jayne Meadows" Guess I’m my own husband…& wife 🤷🏾‍♀️
	🎸 ♥ 1:35pm fred: ↳ Song: "What is a Wife?" by "Steve Allen" This is even better/worse
	♥ 1:35pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:32 She didn't exclusively write the music. It was a real collaboration: www.ruthrobertscomposer.com...
	🎸 ♥ 1:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:35 was just going to say
	♥ 1:38pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:32 @WR: For example this: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 1:39pm fred: This set is full of potential Vicki material, did she use it?
	♥ 1:40pm Krys O.: ↳ gauche knee @1:35 Ditto!
	🎸 ♥ 1:41pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:40 What does that make your cats?
	♥ 1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:32 @WR: The sheet music for the songs all say words and music by Ruth Roberts and Bill Katz (and whoever else collaborated like Bob Thiele like Duke's Place.)
	♥ 1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:41 My wards like Robin to Batman.
	🎸 ♥ 1:43pm WR: ↳ Krys O. @1:42 thanks.
	♥ 1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:43 Glad to help.
	🎸 ♥ 1:44pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe what made ella fitzgerald's scatting effective was that her elocution is so clear....
	🎸 ♥ 1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: '56 mantle's triple crown year
	♥ 1:45pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: it's "amazing" how the ny baseball teams have kept their identities, pretty much unchanged
	♥ 1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 It might be codified.
	🎸 ♥ 1:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:52 in peoples minds?
	🎸 ♥ 1:54pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 Weren't the Dodgers still in NY then?
	♥ 1:54pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 Steinbrenner had so much control over hair length and facial hair.
	🎸 ♥ 1:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:54 not in '63
	🎸 ♥ 1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:54 haven't been paying attention recently
	🎸 ♥ 1:58pm tom tom the pipers son: touches of gang of 4
	♥ 1:59pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:57 Well, George Steinbrenner died years ago. He benched Don Mattingly for his moustache and hair back in the day.
	🎸 ♥ 1:59pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:55 Right, moved in '58. I somehow believed the move was later. I didn't even know baseball was a thing until much later, please excuse my ignorance
	♥ 2:00pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:57 I stopped following baseball about a dozen years ago. It's a convoluted story.
	🎸 ♥ 2:01pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys, everyone!
	♥ 2:01pm Jim Price: Hello Krees!
	🎸 ♥ 2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:59 ha! not ignorance, saving your brain for more worthwhile pursuits
	♥ 2:02pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters! Is that Olivia in the blue dress?
	🎸 ♥ 2:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:59 stienbrenner was a petit bourgeois dictator at heart
	♥ 2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 100%
	♥ 2:04pm Krys O.: Hi, Paul! Howdy, Jim! Hello, chresti!
	🎸 ♥ 2:04pm fred: ↳ fred @1:59 I started loosely following baseball 20 years ago, because there are so many idioms in American English tied to it. Never watched a game though, and gave up after a few years. I did learn a lot though
	♥ 2:08pm Adi From Sheffield: Good afternoon/evening.
	♥ 2:08pm Krys O.: Greetings, Adi!
	🎸 ♥ 2:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:04 it was more central to american culture and it's history can be interesting and nostalgic locating american identity in an emersonian world, but the game has lost all it's juice partially due to algorithms
	🎸 ♥ 2:12pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 A coworker (she's from Boston) told me it's maybe more a social event than a sport by now
	♥ 2:12pm Adi From Sheffield: Some of the nightclubs that Peel mentioned in the listings took me back 😂
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 My brother taught me the rules of baseball in the 1960s, and we watched games together. I kept up with it until the early 2010s.
	🎸 ♥ 2:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:12 right the stadiums all have luxury and elaborate concessions to stuff your face at
	♥ 2:15pm Krys O.: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:12 Cool!
	♥ 2:15pm Jim Price: Lovely Lovera.
	♥ 2:16pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:14 The cost is staggering. I'd never be able to afford that.
	🎸 ♥ 2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:12 i gave up only a couple of years ago, something snapped and i realized it's just a zombie game
	♥ 2:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Jim Price @2:15 Absolutely! Did you take that photo of Vic, Jim? I got it from one of Irene's playlists. I think of Vic whenever I hear the Lemon Twigs.
	♥ 2:17pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:12 My older brother taught me ( and my little brother, when he was old enough) to play baseball in the early to mid 60s.
	🎸 ♥ 2:17pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 Interesting phrasing, "losing all its juice", given the steroid fueled boost in popularity
	♥ 2:18pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 I'd watch zombie baseball,,
	🎸 ♥ 2:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:16 right, but people do, it's like casino culture
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @2:17 I wasn't bad at it when we played in gym, but I was never good enough to consider going out for the school team. I have too much geek and zero self-confidence.
	♥ 2:18pm Jim Price: i didn't take that Vic photo Krys.
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @2:18 I second that!
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Jim Price @2:18 Ah, thanks. I guess it was taken by Irene.
	🎸 ♥ 2:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:17 ha! right, but that was to the games detriment also
	🎸 ♥ 2:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @2:18 ha! winner's eat brains
	♥ 2:21pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:21 "He's rounding second base and his arm fell off!"
	🎸 ♥ 2:22pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 Your lack of self-confidence robbed us of many great radio shows. Resist that if it shows up again
	🎸 ♥ 2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:21 u huh
	♥ 2:23pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:22 Thanks kindly.
	♥ 2:24pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:21 Lol
	🎸 ♥ 2:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "W Maleńkim Domku" by "Janusz Popławski & Henryk G... this is almost dietrichian
	🎸 ♥ 2:26pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello Krys and everybody!
	♥ 2:27pm Krys O.: Hey, Jan!
	♥ 2:28pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 I got as far as 7th grade softball in school before becoming a juvenile delinquent.
	🎸 ♥ 2:29pm fred: ↳ Song: "Love Letters" by "Ketty Lester" Flashback to Blue Velvet
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:29 Correct.
	♥ 2:32pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Love Letters" by "Ketty Lester" Nice voice
	🎸 ♥ 2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: paul simon must have been listening to leonard cohen
	🎸 ♥ 2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:32 the cadence of sound of silence and others seem to come straight from cohen
	🎸 ♥ 2:36pm fred: ↳ chresti @2:28 Who knew back then you'd be a juvenile delinquent for so long? It's a career by now!
	🎸 ♥ 2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: leonard cohen songs hurt and feel good at the same time
	🎸 ♥ 2:37pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Krys! Just getting in from "Record Store Day"
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:32 Simon was writing songs since he was a teenager and he spent a lot of time London in 1965.
	♥ 2:37pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:36 I lucked out!
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:37 Hello, Henry!
	♥ 2:38pm David (in London): Popping in late to say hello and what a great set, Krys.
	♥ 2:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 *in London in 1965---steeped in the folk scene there.
	♥ 2:39pm Krys O.: Hi, David!
	🎸 ♥ 2:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 sort of was aware of that and the london stint after something or other didn't work out, but i heard a similarity, maybe just me...
	🎸 ♥ 2:40pm yerfriendpaul: Buck!!
	♥ 2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Medley: Act Naturally, Together Again, Love's Gon... Just realized that Jimmy Dean did that introduction. His second appearance of the show. Listen to Don Rich's guitar! Hot dang!
	♥ 2:42pm David (in London): ↳ Krys O. @2:38 And falling out with Martin Carthy over Scarborough Fair...
	🎸 ♥ 2:43pm tom tom the pipers son: can't say i've listened to buckaroos before, thanks krys,. great stuff
	♥ 2:45pm David (in London): Hey Tom. Paul! Chrestikins! Henry, Fred, lots of other groovy folk!
	♥ 2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:43 Don Rich was invaluable performing perfect harmonies, fiddle, and guitar. He died way too young.
	🎸 ♥ 2:45pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:45 Hey David!! Good to see ya!!
	🎸 ♥ 2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @2:45 hey david...
	♥ 2:46pm David (in London): ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:45 How are you my man?
	♥ 2:47pm David (in London): I was watching Season 2 of Babylon Berlin the other day, and Ferry turns up as a nightclub singer. Nice cameo. Must confess, I've never heard this album. This is rather splendid.
	🎸 ♥ 2:48pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:46 Things are good, thank you! Enjoying the show on a nice Spring day and doing a little procrastinating as well , ha ha. How about yourself?
	🎸 ♥ 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 i remember the cartoon in lcd with white guy and asian girlfriend at record fair with girl saying "i love buck owens and the bucckaroos" a trope of the time ...early 90's
	🎸 ♥ 2:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Found" by "Claire Welles" i like this album cover
	♥ 2:51pm David (in London): ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:48 Likewise. It's been a lovely spring day, so I walked into town and blew some cash on records, Japanese condiments and a ludicrous pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. All good for the spirits.
	🎸 ♥ 2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys... have a good day all...
	🎸 ♥ 2:52pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:32 In college (business school) I got away with making my graduation presentation about "the small town in David Lynch films" in English class. I never actually attended class, the teacher came to me early on and told me I'd be wasting both of our times by attending. She tried to make me go into teaching English literature. I still question my decision to decline
	♥ 2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks to everyone for hanging out! Take care! xxxooo
	🎸 ♥ 2:53pm Jan Turkenburg: thanks Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 2:53pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:51 That sounds like a perfect way to spend the day! Those heart shaped glasses will serve you well! I think I’m going to run to our local record store later today. I’m excited to see what can I find
	♥ 2:54pm David (in London): Wish I'd got here sooner, now. Thanks Krys, great sounds.
	♥ 2:54pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 2:54pm fred: ↳ David (in London) @2:51 Will the heart-shaped sunglasses be on the next record?
	♥ 2:55pm David (in London): ↳ fred @2:54 Haha, maybe they will Fred!
	♥ 2:56pm chresti: Davidkins!
	♥ 2:56pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Big Ole Geeks" by "Dr. Raven the Science Maven" Love this!
	♥ 2:57pm David (in London): My dad was a scientist. He should have made an album like this.
	🎸 ♥ 2:58pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Krys! Take care, everyone!
	♥ 2:58pm chresti: ↳ David (in London) @2:51 Lolita glasses!
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm WR: Thank you!

	🎸 ♥ 1:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:35 was just going to say
	♥ 1:38pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:32 @WR: For example this: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 1:39pm fred: This set is full of potential Vicki material, did she use it?
	♥ 1:40pm Krys O.: ↳ gauche knee @1:35 Ditto!
	🎸 ♥ 1:41pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:40 What does that make your cats?
	♥ 1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:32 @WR: The sheet music for the songs all say words and music by Ruth Roberts and Bill Katz (and whoever else collaborated like Bob Thiele like Duke's Place.)
	♥ 1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:41 My wards like Robin to Batman.
	🎸 ♥ 1:43pm WR: ↳ Krys O. @1:42 thanks.
	♥ 1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:43 Glad to help.
	🎸 ♥ 1:44pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe what made ella fitzgerald's scatting effective was that her elocution is so clear....
	🎸 ♥ 1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: '56 mantle's triple crown year
	♥ 1:45pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: it's "amazing" how the ny baseball teams have kept their identities, pretty much unchanged
	♥ 1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 It might be codified.
	🎸 ♥ 1:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:52 in peoples minds?
	🎸 ♥ 1:54pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:52 Weren't the Dodgers still in NY then?
	♥ 1:54pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 Steinbrenner had so much control over hair length and facial hair.
	🎸 ♥ 1:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:54 not in '63
	🎸 ♥ 1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:54 haven't been paying attention recently
	🎸 ♥ 1:58pm tom tom the pipers son: touches of gang of 4
	♥ 1:59pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:57 Well, George Steinbrenner died years ago. He benched Don Mattingly for his moustache and hair back in the day.
	🎸 ♥ 1:59pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:55 Right, moved in '58. I somehow believed the move was later. I didn't even know baseball was a thing until much later, please excuse my ignorance
	♥ 2:00pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:57 I stopped following baseball about a dozen years ago. It's a convoluted story.
	🎸 ♥ 2:01pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys, everyone!
	♥ 2:01pm Jim Price: Hello Krees!
	🎸 ♥ 2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:59 ha! not ignorance, saving your brain for more worthwhile pursuits
	♥ 2:02pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters! Is that Olivia in the blue dress?
	🎸 ♥ 2:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:59 stienbrenner was a petit bourgeois dictator at heart
	♥ 2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 100%
	♥ 2:04pm Krys O.: Hi, Paul! Howdy, Jim! Hello, chresti!
	🎸 ♥ 2:04pm fred: ↳ fred @1:59 I started loosely following baseball 20 years ago, because there are so many idioms in American English tied to it. Never watched a game though, and gave up after a few years. I did learn a lot though
	♥ 2:08pm Adi From Sheffield: Good afternoon/evening.
	♥ 2:08pm Krys O.: Greetings, Adi!
	🎸 ♥ 2:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:04 it was more central to american culture and it's history can be interesting and nostalgic locating american identity in an emersonian world, but the game has lost all it's juice partially due to algorithms
	🎸 ♥ 2:12pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 A coworker (she's from Boston) told me it's maybe more a social event than a sport by now
	♥ 2:12pm Adi From Sheffield: Some of the nightclubs that Peel mentioned in the listings took me back 😂
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 My brother taught me the rules of baseball in the 1960s, and we watched games together. I kept up with it until the early 2010s.
	🎸 ♥ 2:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:12 right the stadiums all have luxury and elaborate concessions to stuff your face at
	♥ 2:15pm Krys O.: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:12 Cool!
	♥ 2:15pm Jim Price: Lovely Lovera.
	♥ 2:16pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:14 The cost is staggering. I'd never be able to afford that.
	🎸 ♥ 2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:12 i gave up only a couple of years ago, something snapped and i realized it's just a zombie game
	♥ 2:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Jim Price @2:15 Absolutely! Did you take that photo of Vic, Jim? I got it from one of Irene's playlists. I think of Vic whenever I hear the Lemon Twigs.
	♥ 2:17pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:12 My older brother taught me ( and my little brother, when he was old enough) to play baseball in the early to mid 60s.
	🎸 ♥ 2:17pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:10 Interesting phrasing, "losing all its juice", given the steroid fueled boost in popularity
	♥ 2:18pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 I'd watch zombie baseball,,
	🎸 ♥ 2:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:16 right, but people do, it's like casino culture
	♥ 2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @2:17 I wasn't bad at it when we played in gym, but I was never good enough to consider going out for the school team. I have too much geek and zero self-confidence.
	♥ 2:18pm Jim Price: i didn't take that Vic photo Krys.
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @2:18 I second that!
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Jim Price @2:18 Ah, thanks. I guess it was taken by Irene.
	🎸 ♥ 2:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:17 ha! right, but that was to the games detriment also
	🎸 ♥ 2:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @2:18 ha! winner's eat brains
	♥ 2:21pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:21 "He's rounding second base and his arm fell off!"
	🎸 ♥ 2:22pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 Your lack of self-confidence robbed us of many great radio shows. Resist that if it shows up again
	🎸 ♥ 2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:21 u huh
	♥ 2:23pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:22 Thanks kindly.
	♥ 2:24pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:21 Lol
	🎸 ♥ 2:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "W Maleńkim Domku" by "Janusz Popławski & Henryk G... this is almost dietrichian
	🎸 ♥ 2:26pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello Krys and everybody!
	♥ 2:27pm Krys O.: Hey, Jan!
	♥ 2:28pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 I got as far as 7th grade softball in school before becoming a juvenile delinquent.
	🎸 ♥ 2:29pm fred: ↳ Song: "Love Letters" by "Ketty Lester" Flashback to Blue Velvet
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:29 Correct.
	♥ 2:32pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Love Letters" by "Ketty Lester" Nice voice
	🎸 ♥ 2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: paul simon must have been listening to leonard cohen
	🎸 ♥ 2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:32 the cadence of sound of silence and others seem to come straight from cohen
	🎸 ♥ 2:36pm fred: ↳ chresti @2:28 Who knew back then you'd be a juvenile delinquent for so long? It's a career by now!
	🎸 ♥ 2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: leonard cohen songs hurt and feel good at the same time
	🎸 ♥ 2:37pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Krys! Just getting in from "Record Store Day"
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:32 Simon was writing songs since he was a teenager and he spent a lot of time London in 1965.
	♥ 2:37pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:36 I lucked out!
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:37 Hello, Henry!
	♥ 2:38pm David (in London): Popping in late to say hello and what a great set, Krys.
	♥ 2:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 *in London in 1965---steeped in the folk scene there.
	♥ 2:39pm Krys O.: Hi, David!
	🎸 ♥ 2:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 sort of was aware of that and the london stint after something or other didn't work out, but i heard a similarity, maybe just me...
	🎸 ♥ 2:40pm yerfriendpaul: Buck!!
	♥ 2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Medley: Act Naturally, Together Again, Love's Gon... Just realized that Jimmy Dean did that introduction. His second appearance of the show. Listen to Don Rich's guitar! Hot dang!

	♥ 2:45pm David (in London): Hey Tom. Paul! Chrestikins! Henry, Fred, lots of other groovy folk!
	♥ 2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:43 Don Rich was invaluable performing perfect harmonies, fiddle, and guitar. He died way too young.
	🎸 ♥ 2:45pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:45 Hey David!! Good to see ya!!
	🎸 ♥ 2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @2:45 hey david...
	♥ 2:46pm David (in London): ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:45 How are you my man?
	♥ 2:47pm David (in London): I was watching Season 2 of Babylon Berlin the other day, and Ferry turns up as a nightclub singer. Nice cameo. Must confess, I've never heard this album. This is rather splendid.
	🎸 ♥ 2:48pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:46 Things are good, thank you! Enjoying the show on a nice Spring day and doing a little procrastinating as well , ha ha. How about yourself?
	🎸 ♥ 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 i remember the cartoon in lcd with white guy and asian girlfriend at record fair with girl saying "i love buck owens and the bucckaroos" a trope of the time ...early 90's
	🎸 ♥ 2:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Found" by "Claire Welles" i like this album cover
	♥ 2:51pm David (in London): ↳ yerfriendpaul @2:48 Likewise. It's been a lovely spring day, so I walked into town and blew some cash on records, Japanese condiments and a ludicrous pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. All good for the spirits.
	🎸 ♥ 2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys... have a good day all...
	🎸 ♥ 2:52pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:32 In college (business school) I got away with making my graduation presentation about "the small town in David Lynch films" in English class. I never actually attended class, the teacher came to me early on and told me I'd be wasting both of our times by attending. She tried to make me go into teaching English literature. I still question my decision to decline
	♥ 2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks to everyone for hanging out! Take care! xxxooo
	🎸 ♥ 2:53pm Jan Turkenburg: thanks Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 2:53pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David (in London) @2:51 That sounds like a perfect way to spend the day! Those heart shaped glasses will serve you well! I think I’m going to run to our local record store later today. I’m excited to see what can I find
