	9:09am maja: Good morning Joe. and all
	♥ 9:09am Mike East: @safe word - Sesame Street! Morning all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am Ken From Hyde Park: @safe word - Joe's weekly opening is from early Sesame Street, a US TV program for kids. youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am pantz: Sweet! When does the laser light show begin, Joe?
	♥ 9:10am Passaic River Blues: The Switched-On series proved that everything sounds better with MOOGS.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am melinda: digging electric hair.
	♥ 9:11am MD: Good Morning All My Mad Freeform Fanatics!!! Top 'O The Morning to Ya's!!!
	♥ 9:11am MD: Hello to you Also Joe!
	9:11am safe word: Haha, excellent. Thanks @Ken and @Mike.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am The Oscar: Every work week should begin with Moogsploitation.
	9:14am KP: That high note was exactly same as ambulance going by. Stereo!
	♥ 9:15am Parq: Heard this Hyman album when I was a high school sophomore. It's one of the main things that put me on a path leading to the WFMUniverse.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Moog morning, everyone! Welcome to the show!
	♥ 9:17am Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Joe and everyone. Back in college I interviewed Dick Hyman's daughter (Judy Hyman of the Horse Flies) for our school paper. It was such a cool, fun interview and she obviously learned a lot from her dad. But due to some miscommunications between me and the editors, the piece never made it into the paper. So I feel a pang of guilt every time I hear Dick Hyman, or the Horse Flies.
	9:18am V Priceless: Good morning, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am PKNY: Dick Hyman's cover of "Give it Up or Turnit a Loose" is pure genius.
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Uncle Michael: Good morning, Ned and the rest of you Sparkses.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @PKNY: It's always hard not to choose that track instantly when I have this LP with me.
	9:20am Andy: Living in Dublin, Ireland, just discovered WFMU after seeing the documentary on Netflix last night, what a brilliant station!!!
	♥ 9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: welcome andy :D
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am The Oscar: "Paperback Rider" may actually be a better title.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am melinda: hi andy!
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Welcome, Andy! @Oscar: You may be right!
	♥ 9:23am Passaic River Blues: @Parq: similar experience. I picked up Hyman's "Moog" reissue in high school, and it set the course. @BB: you should unearth that interview your article and use it somehow, maybe for your show.
	♥ 9:23am Bronwyn Bishop: @passaic: i like that idea. i still have the recordings.
	♥ 9:24am northguineahills: Now I need to dig up my old Switched On Bacharach album....
	♥ 9:25am Bootsie: What?? Hot Butter covered "Apache"?? Day: made.
	♥ 9:26am Bronwyn Bishop: god i love the moog. one time in ithaca we had a MOOG FESTIVAL!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Just been playing the Beatles Red album, In My Life has to be one of the most amazing songs written by someone under twenty five. Thought this was a 1965 tribute at first (best year for pop?)
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am PKNY: No version of "Apache" will ever top the Incredible Bongo Band, but I gotta admit I'm a sucker for any version of this song, especially Moog-y ones.
	♥ 9:27am Bootsie: I'm listening at work but until this track is over I will be useless. I am completely enthralled.
	9:27am Andy: Hi all, listening on earphones in work, so great in this corporate, bland age that these stations exist.
	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Any of you with long memories know who used this as talkover music?
	9:31am Magda: Good Morning People.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am PKNY: A Moog version of "Poke Salad Annie"? Now I've heard everything!
	9:33am Magda: I think there is a Moog Fest and Michael Stipe of REM is one of the honorees.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am doctorjazz: Got me in the Moog-great set!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Woof/Moog
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am doctorjazz: I miss The Radio Thrift Shop, was a fun show! She did WKCR before that, now she's a world travelling country music star. (I think she'll let you use the bed music for now, but you have to give it back).
	9:36am Magda: Add an umlaut to pronounce it with the long oo.
	9:38am Jesse K: Morning Joe! It's funny, growing up in AR I always heard it pronounced "polk salat" with a t rather than a d.
	♥ 9:38am annie: "poke...... salat"
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am melinda: The Moogfest is in Durham NC
	♥ 9:40am Parq: "Both Sides Now" from that Hyman album would make for good talkover music.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am melinda: www.moogfest.com
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am melinda: I'd like to go someday. It seems to be a more general electronic music fest, not just Moogers.
	9:44am Magda: Makes sense. It seems like a great time for mogers not moogers.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: @JesseK: Ha ha! @melinda and Magda: I get that impresssion, too.
	9:49am Magda: I would never think Michael Stipe as a Moog person.
	♥ 9:49am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe and McGaskos. You know, THIS is a place I love.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Did Bowie do 'I'm Not a Moogy Guy' on Lodger?
	♥ 9:51am annie: moog moved the fest due to issues with the city of asheville... sad, the factory is right here.. a damn beautiful structure
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am The Oscar: Is there a word for this era of country? When every song had funk-bass and wah-wah guitar?
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @Oscar: Country Funk is what Light in the Attic called it a few years ago.
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @Sem: Me, too! :)
	♥ 10:01am Maggie B.: Hello Joe! I know it's a little late, but for today you can call me Moogie
	♥ 10:02am Joe McG: Hi, Maggie! Bill has arrived safely and so have his records!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am The Oscar: @Joe That works!
	♥ 10:03am Maggie B.: Yes! Glad he made it on time.
	10:14am Cooh John: Good McGasko Monday morning, everyone.
	10:15am Magda: Oh no skipping
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am The Oscar: I was distracted, and thought it was just surprisingly funky.
	10:17am melinda: @annie cool that the moog factory is still there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am ChrisB.: Lulu is playing down in Asbury Park in June 1st.
	♥ 10:21am MD: Warren!!! Raisin Hell in Heaven!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21am doctorjazz: Zevon!
	♥ 10:21am Joe McG: @ChrisB: What?? Oh, I'm there!!
	10:22am KH: Sure do miss Mr. Zevon. RIP Mr. Bad Example
	10:22am Mayuko: Good morning!
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: Hi, Mayuko!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23am ChrisB.: @Joe: Yeah! Tim McCloone's Supper Club on the Boardwalk. Got my tix.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am ChrisB.: She's also at B.B. King's the day before if the city is more convenient for you.
	10:25am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Wow, you and Fiveash both rocking Bread within a few days of each other.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Todd: Bread is due for re-evaluation, Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am doctorjazz: This Boothe track made me smile from the 1st notes.
	♥ 10:29am Little Danny: G'morning Joe and all
	10:30am melinda: Was Ken Boothe half of Keith
	10:30am Will: Joe is always testing the theory that if it's played on his show, it sounds good! (ref: Bread)
	♥ 10:32am tomasz.: i'm so annoyed that Irish Netflix has the documentary but UK doesn't. i backed that documentary and still haven't seen it!
	♥ 10:32am tomasz.: (afternoon everyone)
	10:32am melinda: Half of Keith and Ken, or maybe it was Ken and Keith.
	10:33am melinda: Heard a song by them recently that blew me away.
	♥ 10:34am Bronwyn Bishop: tom, i am (extremely briefly) IN that documentary and haven't seen it
	10:34am sugarwolf: I saw a car in The parking lot at work recently that said WRNZEVON
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am Brian in UK: @Bronwyn But the options to see it are there. Not over here.
	♥ 10:36am Sem Chumbo: Was locked in a hockey arena in Halifax for 16 hours for something called Rock on '74 The bill: Dr. John, Chuck Berry, Billy Preston, Status Quo, some others I do not recall (clearly), and Bread!
	♥ 10:36am Bronwyn Bishop: @brian: thats true, sorry guys :(
	10:36am sugarwolf: I recently found boy George's recollection of the 70s on YouTube and that Ken boothe song was very influential to him!
	10:36am Todd-o-phonic Todd: BILL!!!
	♥ 10:37am Maggie B.: Doug is my son.
	10:37am Magda: Nice.
	10:38am JakeGould: What food did Bill make during this past marathon?
	♥ 10:38am Maggie B.: There was definitely bbq chicken and I don't remember what else.
	10:40am JakeGould: Missed Bill’s food but respect his MTA heritage despite me having the worst commute I have ever had I 20+ years today.
	10:40am melinda: @Bronwyn where do you appear in the movie?
	♥ 10:41am Maggie B.: oh no! i know, the subway has been a mess lately. He's a bus dispatcher.
	10:43am mrmikestandsir: I hope he's got Phillip and Lloyd and the Bluesbusters covering My Girl...
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: 1970s were peerless for reggae. Was Taxi Sly & Robbie's label?
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that was theirs. Ran for a few years, many good folks on it!
	♥ 10:46am Maggie B.: hey Joe and Bill, I'm waving from across the Hudson (can literally see Montgomery St. from our windows.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: Saw Sly & Robbie a couple of years ago, was surprised to see Sly walk on with a stick. Once he was behind the kit, the music took over. What a drummer.
	♥ 10:48am Bronwyn Bishop: @melinda: i actually haven't seen the full movie, but in one of the trailers there is a scene of everyone eating lunch in the lunchroom, and I'm on the far left. basically the only reason I'm even visible is because i have a giant nose. its only my claim to fame so far...
	♥ 10:49am Bronwyn Bishop: i can't even find it now...
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Ken From Hyde Park: I received an e-coupon on Google Play Movies and used it to watch the WFMU doc for the low, low price of just $1.99.
	10:50am melinda: If I watch it again I'll look for you!
	♥ 10:53am Bronwyn Bishop: haha thanks melinda! its pretty "blink and you'll miss it" but it was a proud moment seeing myself eating indian food alongside the greatest djs and volunteers of our time, in a major(ish) motion picture!
	10:54am Brendan: Hey Joe. These tunes give me a laid back Sunday morning on FMU feel. Nothing wrong with that!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: Definitely invading Jeff's turf here!
	10:56am John in Bklyn: Great stuff, guys! Thanks for making a nice Monday AM. I saw Black Uhuru in Philly in '84 (with King Sunny Ade!) and Sly and Robbie were in the band. I always loved Shine Eye Girl.
	10:56am melinda: I'd be excited to appear in the film, too, even briefly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Hey Bill, you been looking after these beauties. No surface noise!!
	♥ 10:57am Bronwyn Bishop: yeah, i definitely am feeling like it should be sunday morning right now! side note, listening to reggae schoolroom when you live in crown heights is the BEST! i always go and get jamaican food from the place around the corner and then listen, and feel in tune with the rest of the neighborhood
	10:57am johnk77: 1979 sly & robbie put together word, sound, and power to back up peter tosh in north america
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Ken From Hyde Park: The doc was shown at last year's record fair. Doesn't appear on this year's billing. www.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Threemoons: Heyo from the temp gig near lovely Times Square....
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: A dub plate.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: Island = Jamaica.
	11:02am JakeGould: @MaggieB: I like the NYC buses! Any particular route? My local is the B63.
	11:03am JakeGould: My childhood route was the B68.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Rockers is a No.1 soundtrack album.
	11:04am Nellie: Great show!
	♥ 11:04am Maggie B.: Several Manhattan routes that pass by Grand Central. Busy area!
	11:06am Steve Krinsky: I first heard "Book of Rules" on an terrific 1974 album called "This Is Reggae Music" -- which also includes "Guava Jelly" and "Breakfast in Bed" (and lots more). Wish I had a copy of that.
	11:07am miles: sounds great! shooger shooger...this is medicine
	11:08am JakeGould: @MaggieB: Intense! I took the R to the G to the D (running as an F) to another D (running) correctly and then an F. Like anyone cares.
	♥ 11:08am tomasz.: look at the national bird
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: Now I want Ackee & Saltfish, yum!
	♥ 11:09am Maggie B.: @Jake - I don't envy you! Seems lately it's harder to get from one area of the city to the other by subway. My commute from upstate seems like a breeze by comparison.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Brian in UK: These puny computer speakers do not do this justice.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Wow, this Lloyd Parks record sounds SO good in the studio. Hope you're all feeling mellow this morning!
	♥ 11:16am Maggie B.: oh, yah mon!
	♥ 11:16am tomasz.: this is a really great set Joe
	11:23am miles: what's toasting?
	♥ 11:24am Switchblade Batman: I was wondering too @Miles
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: "Toasting" is what they used to call the DJ interjections on Jamaican records. Jamaican rapping, I guess you'd say.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am tadpoles: Jackie Edwards was a big influence on the young Stevie Winwood via Chris Blackwell. First 2 Spencer Davis Group hits were covers of Jackie Edward's songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Stevel: You know, of course, you could play reggae all day and I'd never change the station. Great show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: Let's hear it for Jim Weatherly!
	♥ 11:29am Passaic River Blues: @Miles: it's when the DJ or just an MC speaks over the record, often to exhort the crowd. Sometimes its comic, sometimes to shout out a town, sometimes to boast of one's musical prowess, and also to critique/castigate one's enemies. The best do so in rhyme and growly yet melodic cadences. Some guys became straight up toasters, and recordings of their toasting became in demand. U-Roy was the master of this.
	11:37am JakeGould: This stuff is so good! Thanks Joe and Bill.
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: U-Roy and Big Youth are my faves.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: What have i been missing?! -hi Joe and rockers
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @JakeG: You bet. What a pleasure to have Bill here.
	11:41am TimBk: Great show and a real treat for Monday! Fans of toasting will love this mix, free download too: https://soundcloud.com/justicesound/big-youth-u-roy-i-roy-trinity-kojak-dillinger-justice-sound
	♥ 11:41am Michael 98145: what Stevel said --
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Zap-Pow did a great number called This is Reggae Music if memory serves.
	♥ 11:45am Passaic River Blues: @TimBK: oh man, thank you for that mix link!
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am tadpoles: What a Day... thanks guys!
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: U-Roy may have been the master, but possibly my 2 favorite toasting tracks are Lee Perry. ("dreader locks" and his rap on the gatherers' "words"..."lion a de winner"[?])
	♥ 11:46am Michael 98145: love those reggae 45s .. as long as you center them on the spindle.
	♥ 11:46am Mike East: Dig all the reggae this morning. I woke up singing "Concrete Jungle" pretty randomly this morning.
	♥ 11:49am Michael 98145: thanks, you two
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: So good! Thanks, Joe and Bill, for a morning of wonderful music. See ya both together again, I hope.
	11:51am thelma: Women in Reggae-Rita Marley, One Draw, Sister Carol, Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths- the I Threes behind Bob Marley and solo performers
	11:51am johnk77: great work selecters sugar minott was a great guy and put on killer live shows
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Brian in UK: Ah The Cool Ruler. Great sounds Bill & Joe.
	11:53am John in Bklyn: What a great way to start off the week. Thanks, Joe and Bill! Really enjoyed your sets! @thelma: Dawn Penn and Sister Nancy, too!
	♥ 11:54am coelacanth∅: Nora Dean is the only female in reggae that i've thought was worth a second listen. i have to give a listen to Veronica Adams.
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: Thanks Joe and Bill, the selecta!
	11:55am John in Bklyn: @TimBK thanks for the link. Will check it after the show.
	♥ 11:55am Barney Grubbs: Althea & Donna sang some catchy numbers, too.
	11:56am John in Bklyn: Uptown Top Ranking!
	11:56am Dean: Hollie Cook
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Let's not forget Susan Cadogan! Thanks for listening, everyone! See you next week. Come to the Record Fair if you're local and say hello.
	♥ 11:57am coelacanth∅: (now there's 4 female in reggae names i never heard. have to check those out too)
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe and Bill
	♥ 12:01pm TR In MI: Great show, vintage reggae was just what I needed on Mon. morning. Thanks Joe and Bill!
	♥ 12:01pm Passaic River Blues: That was so good!
	♥ 12:01pm Maggie B.: Great show Joe and Bill!

	♥ 9:10am Passaic River Blues: The Switched-On series proved that everything sounds better with MOOGS.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am melinda: digging electric hair.
	♥ 9:11am MD: Good Morning All My Mad Freeform Fanatics!!! Top 'O The Morning to Ya's!!!
	♥ 9:11am MD: Hello to you Also Joe!
	9:11am safe word: Haha, excellent. Thanks @Ken and @Mike.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am The Oscar: Every work week should begin with Moogsploitation.
	9:14am KP: That high note was exactly same as ambulance going by. Stereo!
	♥ 9:15am Parq: Heard this Hyman album when I was a high school sophomore. It's one of the main things that put me on a path leading to the WFMUniverse.
	♥ 9:16am Joe McG: Moog morning, everyone! Welcome to the show!
	♥ 9:17am Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Joe and everyone. Back in college I interviewed Dick Hyman's daughter (Judy Hyman of the Horse Flies) for our school paper. It was such a cool, fun interview and she obviously learned a lot from her dad. But due to some miscommunications between me and the editors, the piece never made it into the paper. So I feel a pang of guilt every time I hear Dick Hyman, or the Horse Flies.
	9:18am V Priceless: Good morning, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am PKNY: Dick Hyman's cover of "Give it Up or Turnit a Loose" is pure genius.
	🎸 ♥ 9:19am Uncle Michael: Good morning, Ned and the rest of you Sparkses.
	♥ 9:20am Joe McG: @PKNY: It's always hard not to choose that track instantly when I have this LP with me.
	9:20am Andy: Living in Dublin, Ireland, just discovered WFMU after seeing the documentary on Netflix last night, what a brilliant station!!!
	♥ 9:20am Bronwyn Bishop: welcome andy :D
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am The Oscar: "Paperback Rider" may actually be a better title.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am melinda: hi andy!
	♥ 9:22am Joe McG: Welcome, Andy! @Oscar: You may be right!
	♥ 9:23am Passaic River Blues: @Parq: similar experience. I picked up Hyman's "Moog" reissue in high school, and it set the course. @BB: you should unearth that interview your article and use it somehow, maybe for your show.
	♥ 9:23am Bronwyn Bishop: @passaic: i like that idea. i still have the recordings.
	♥ 9:24am northguineahills: Now I need to dig up my old Switched On Bacharach album....
	♥ 9:25am Bootsie: What?? Hot Butter covered "Apache"?? Day: made.
	♥ 9:26am Bronwyn Bishop: god i love the moog. one time in ithaca we had a MOOG FESTIVAL!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Just been playing the Beatles Red album, In My Life has to be one of the most amazing songs written by someone under twenty five. Thought this was a 1965 tribute at first (best year for pop?)
	🎸 ♥ 9:26am PKNY: No version of "Apache" will ever top the Incredible Bongo Band, but I gotta admit I'm a sucker for any version of this song, especially Moog-y ones.
	♥ 9:27am Bootsie: I'm listening at work but until this track is over I will be useless. I am completely enthralled.
	9:27am Andy: Hi all, listening on earphones in work, so great in this corporate, bland age that these stations exist.
	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Any of you with long memories know who used this as talkover music?
	9:31am Magda: Good Morning People.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31am PKNY: A Moog version of "Poke Salad Annie"? Now I've heard everything!
	9:33am Magda: I think there is a Moog Fest and Michael Stipe of REM is one of the honorees.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am doctorjazz: Got me in the Moog-great set!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Woof/Moog
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am doctorjazz: I miss The Radio Thrift Shop, was a fun show! She did WKCR before that, now she's a world travelling country music star. (I think she'll let you use the bed music for now, but you have to give it back).
	9:36am Magda: Add an umlaut to pronounce it with the long oo.
	9:38am Jesse K: Morning Joe! It's funny, growing up in AR I always heard it pronounced "polk salat" with a t rather than a d.
	♥ 9:38am annie: "poke...... salat"
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am melinda: The Moogfest is in Durham NC
	♥ 9:40am Parq: "Both Sides Now" from that Hyman album would make for good talkover music.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40am melinda: www.moogfest.com
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am melinda: I'd like to go someday. It seems to be a more general electronic music fest, not just Moogers.
	9:44am Magda: Makes sense. It seems like a great time for mogers not moogers.
	♥ 9:46am Joe McG: @JesseK: Ha ha! @melinda and Magda: I get that impresssion, too.
	9:49am Magda: I would never think Michael Stipe as a Moog person.
	♥ 9:49am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe and McGaskos. You know, THIS is a place I love.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50am Brian in UK: Did Bowie do 'I'm Not a Moogy Guy' on Lodger?
	♥ 9:51am annie: moog moved the fest due to issues with the city of asheville... sad, the factory is right here.. a damn beautiful structure
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am The Oscar: Is there a word for this era of country? When every song had funk-bass and wah-wah guitar?
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @Oscar: Country Funk is what Light in the Attic called it a few years ago.
	♥ 9:56am Joe McG: @Sem: Me, too! :)
	♥ 10:01am Maggie B.: Hello Joe! I know it's a little late, but for today you can call me Moogie
	♥ 10:02am Joe McG: Hi, Maggie! Bill has arrived safely and so have his records!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am The Oscar: @Joe That works!
	♥ 10:03am Maggie B.: Yes! Glad he made it on time.
	10:14am Cooh John: Good McGasko Monday morning, everyone.
	10:15am Magda: Oh no skipping
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am The Oscar: I was distracted, and thought it was just surprisingly funky.
	10:17am melinda: @annie cool that the moog factory is still there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am ChrisB.: Lulu is playing down in Asbury Park in June 1st.

	🎸 ♥ 10:23am ChrisB.: @Joe: Yeah! Tim McCloone's Supper Club on the Boardwalk. Got my tix.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24am ChrisB.: She's also at B.B. King's the day before if the city is more convenient for you.
	10:25am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Wow, you and Fiveash both rocking Bread within a few days of each other.
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Todd: Bread is due for re-evaluation, Todd!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am doctorjazz: This Boothe track made me smile from the 1st notes.
	♥ 10:29am Little Danny: G'morning Joe and all
	10:30am melinda: Was Ken Boothe half of Keith
	10:30am Will: Joe is always testing the theory that if it's played on his show, it sounds good! (ref: Bread)
	♥ 10:32am tomasz.: i'm so annoyed that Irish Netflix has the documentary but UK doesn't. i backed that documentary and still haven't seen it!
	♥ 10:32am tomasz.: (afternoon everyone)
	10:32am melinda: Half of Keith and Ken, or maybe it was Ken and Keith.
	10:33am melinda: Heard a song by them recently that blew me away.
	♥ 10:34am Bronwyn Bishop: tom, i am (extremely briefly) IN that documentary and haven't seen it

	♥ 10:36am Sem Chumbo: Was locked in a hockey arena in Halifax for 16 hours for something called Rock on '74 The bill: Dr. John, Chuck Berry, Billy Preston, Status Quo, some others I do not recall (clearly), and Bread!
	♥ 10:36am Bronwyn Bishop: @brian: thats true, sorry guys :(
	10:36am sugarwolf: I recently found boy George's recollection of the 70s on YouTube and that Ken boothe song was very influential to him!
	10:36am Todd-o-phonic Todd: BILL!!!
	♥ 10:37am Maggie B.: Doug is my son.
	10:37am Magda: Nice.
	10:38am JakeGould: What food did Bill make during this past marathon?
	♥ 10:38am Maggie B.: There was definitely bbq chicken and I don't remember what else.
	10:40am JakeGould: Missed Bill’s food but respect his MTA heritage despite me having the worst commute I have ever had I 20+ years today.
	10:40am melinda: @Bronwyn where do you appear in the movie?
	♥ 10:41am Maggie B.: oh no! i know, the subway has been a mess lately. He's a bus dispatcher.
	10:43am mrmikestandsir: I hope he's got Phillip and Lloyd and the Bluesbusters covering My Girl...
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Brian in UK: 1970s were peerless for reggae. Was Taxi Sly & Robbie's label?
	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that was theirs. Ran for a few years, many good folks on it!
	♥ 10:46am Maggie B.: hey Joe and Bill, I'm waving from across the Hudson (can literally see Montgomery St. from our windows.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Brian in UK: Saw Sly & Robbie a couple of years ago, was surprised to see Sly walk on with a stick. Once he was behind the kit, the music took over. What a drummer.
	♥ 10:48am Bronwyn Bishop: @melinda: i actually haven't seen the full movie, but in one of the trailers there is a scene of everyone eating lunch in the lunchroom, and I'm on the far left. basically the only reason I'm even visible is because i have a giant nose. its only my claim to fame so far...
	♥ 10:49am Bronwyn Bishop: i can't even find it now...
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Ken From Hyde Park: I received an e-coupon on Google Play Movies and used it to watch the WFMU doc for the low, low price of just $1.99.
	10:50am melinda: If I watch it again I'll look for you!
	♥ 10:53am Bronwyn Bishop: haha thanks melinda! its pretty "blink and you'll miss it" but it was a proud moment seeing myself eating indian food alongside the greatest djs and volunteers of our time, in a major(ish) motion picture!
	10:54am Brendan: Hey Joe. These tunes give me a laid back Sunday morning on FMU feel. Nothing wrong with that!
	♥ 10:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: Definitely invading Jeff's turf here!
	10:56am John in Bklyn: Great stuff, guys! Thanks for making a nice Monday AM. I saw Black Uhuru in Philly in '84 (with King Sunny Ade!) and Sly and Robbie were in the band. I always loved Shine Eye Girl.
	10:56am melinda: I'd be excited to appear in the film, too, even briefly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Brian in UK: Hey Bill, you been looking after these beauties. No surface noise!!
	♥ 10:57am Bronwyn Bishop: yeah, i definitely am feeling like it should be sunday morning right now! side note, listening to reggae schoolroom when you live in crown heights is the BEST! i always go and get jamaican food from the place around the corner and then listen, and feel in tune with the rest of the neighborhood
	10:57am johnk77: 1979 sly & robbie put together word, sound, and power to back up peter tosh in north america
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Ken From Hyde Park: The doc was shown at last year's record fair. Doesn't appear on this year's billing. www.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Threemoons: Heyo from the temp gig near lovely Times Square....
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: A dub plate.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Brian in UK: Island = Jamaica.
	11:02am JakeGould: @MaggieB: I like the NYC buses! Any particular route? My local is the B63.
	11:03am JakeGould: My childhood route was the B68.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Brian in UK: Rockers is a No.1 soundtrack album.
	11:04am Nellie: Great show!
	♥ 11:04am Maggie B.: Several Manhattan routes that pass by Grand Central. Busy area!
	11:06am Steve Krinsky: I first heard "Book of Rules" on an terrific 1974 album called "This Is Reggae Music" -- which also includes "Guava Jelly" and "Breakfast in Bed" (and lots more). Wish I had a copy of that.
	11:07am miles: sounds great! shooger shooger...this is medicine
	11:08am JakeGould: @MaggieB: Intense! I took the R to the G to the D (running as an F) to another D (running) correctly and then an F. Like anyone cares.
	♥ 11:08am tomasz.: look at the national bird
	♥ 11:08am northguineahills: Now I want Ackee & Saltfish, yum!
	♥ 11:09am Maggie B.: @Jake - I don't envy you! Seems lately it's harder to get from one area of the city to the other by subway. My commute from upstate seems like a breeze by comparison.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am Brian in UK: These puny computer speakers do not do this justice.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: Wow, this Lloyd Parks record sounds SO good in the studio. Hope you're all feeling mellow this morning!
	♥ 11:16am Maggie B.: oh, yah mon!
	♥ 11:16am tomasz.: this is a really great set Joe
	11:23am miles: what's toasting?
	♥ 11:24am Switchblade Batman: I was wondering too @Miles
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: "Toasting" is what they used to call the DJ interjections on Jamaican records. Jamaican rapping, I guess you'd say.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am tadpoles: Jackie Edwards was a big influence on the young Stevie Winwood via Chris Blackwell. First 2 Spencer Davis Group hits were covers of Jackie Edward's songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Stevel: You know, of course, you could play reggae all day and I'd never change the station. Great show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am Uncle Michael: Let's hear it for Jim Weatherly!
	♥ 11:29am Passaic River Blues: @Miles: it's when the DJ or just an MC speaks over the record, often to exhort the crowd. Sometimes its comic, sometimes to shout out a town, sometimes to boast of one's musical prowess, and also to critique/castigate one's enemies. The best do so in rhyme and growly yet melodic cadences. Some guys became straight up toasters, and recordings of their toasting became in demand. U-Roy was the master of this.
	11:37am JakeGould: This stuff is so good! Thanks Joe and Bill.
	♥ 11:38am Joe McG: U-Roy and Big Youth are my faves.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: What have i been missing?! -hi Joe and rockers
	♥ 11:40am Joe McG: @JakeG: You bet. What a pleasure to have Bill here.
	11:41am TimBk: Great show and a real treat for Monday! Fans of toasting will love this mix, free download too: https://soundcloud.com/justicesound/big-youth-u-roy-i-roy-trinity-kojak-dillinger-justice-sound
	♥ 11:41am Michael 98145: what Stevel said --
	🎸 ♥ 11:42am Brian in UK: Zap-Pow did a great number called This is Reggae Music if memory serves.
	♥ 11:45am Passaic River Blues: @TimBK: oh man, thank you for that mix link!
	🎸 ♥ 11:45am tadpoles: What a Day... thanks guys!
	♥ 11:45am coelacanth∅: U-Roy may have been the master, but possibly my 2 favorite toasting tracks are Lee Perry. ("dreader locks" and his rap on the gatherers' "words"..."lion a de winner"[?])
	♥ 11:46am Michael 98145: love those reggae 45s .. as long as you center them on the spindle.
	♥ 11:46am Mike East: Dig all the reggae this morning. I woke up singing "Concrete Jungle" pretty randomly this morning.
	♥ 11:49am Michael 98145: thanks, you two
	♥ 11:49am Sem Chumbo: So good! Thanks, Joe and Bill, for a morning of wonderful music. See ya both together again, I hope.

	♥ 11:54am coelacanth∅: Nora Dean is the only female in reggae that i've thought was worth a second listen. i have to give a listen to Veronica Adams.
	♥ 11:54am northguineahills: Thanks Joe and Bill, the selecta!
	11:55am John in Bklyn: @TimBK thanks for the link. Will check it after the show.
	♥ 11:55am Barney Grubbs: Althea & Donna sang some catchy numbers, too.

	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Let's not forget Susan Cadogan! Thanks for listening, everyone! See you next week. Come to the Record Fair if you're local and say hello.
	♥ 11:57am coelacanth∅: (now there's 4 female in reggae names i never heard. have to check those out too)
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe and Bill
	♥ 12:01pm TR In MI: Great show, vintage reggae was just what I needed on Mon. morning. Thanks Joe and Bill!
