Listener comments!
	10:46am Bobby: Did Kim Fowley ever call in with an excuse?
	10:55am Parq: Apparently, Bermuda shoes are a type of women's sandal. Haven't been able to track down defining characterstics, nor deduce any from the pics I've seen.
	10:58am Thomas: Oh boy, this music makes my day! thanks!
	11:00am Carol: Bermuda shoes. One of the 2003 styles of the English shoe company Shipton & Heneage. Costs £59 in navy with brown leather
	11:08am Gregory: Hey Michael, My #1 Hit Club card arrived over the week, thanks!
	11:17am Carol: I think that shoe might be a loafer
	11:33am Glenn L: Sounds like the Bermuda Shoes they were referring to could've been a Sandal or maybe even a Flip-Flop. If the song were a #1 Hit today they'd be referencing Crocs!
	12:21pm mike tp: had the mccoys lp with the tune sorrow on it way back when.great interview especially the angels
	12:29pm Joff: WOW ! ...for a Brill Building nut like me that was a FANTASTIC interview with Mr . Gottehrer !! WELL DONE!... Thanks too for playing our song (again!) - Your show is the BEST! whooooo...from England....
	12:58pm Engelbert: Further decedent info on Utah Phillips: http://tinyurl.com/6k9d7d
	6:37pm Javier: Nice program once again, Mr. Shelley. One request, though, I prefer the interview intermingled with the relevant songs. I suppose this way the non-interested could easily jump it and that it might take less editing, but it plays a bit long and arid for my taste. Thanks for the great music and interesting interviews. Cheers form Spain.
	8:24pm Snake: Now listening to the archive on Sunday night. I agree with Joff that the Gottehrer interview was great. One of your best. Loved the Liquor Giants song, I'd forgotten about them, didn't pay enough attention to them when they were around.
	3:19pm Steve: Good interview with Gottehrer! Did I hear you correctly, at the end, say, "Who are the Ravonettes?" Check with Bill Kelly. And play their version of My Boyfriend's Back. Keep playing the #1 music, Michael.
	5:17pm Dave Goessling: Just getting around to listening to the Gotterher interview - great! Re: Sorrow - I never knew that was a McCoys track. Realize that George Harrison stole/borrowed/tributed the "with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue" line in the Beatles song "It's All Too Much"! Wow!
