	9:10pm Jedley: Hi all! Tonight's show dedicated to the dream that each of our banks had worthwhile house musical groups like this one.
	9:11pm Ira: Ken From Hyde Park: rim shot! Revolution Rabbit: We'll be going in and out of the Carole King songbook tonight. "Frères Africains," for instance, not by her . . . at least I don't think it is.
	9:12pm Ira: Yes, Jedley, if only all our institutions utilized their naming-rights money as wisely.
	9:13pm Shane the D: Re: Georgia...so you're saying wikipedia is wrong? This may lead me to question everything.

	9:21pm Whosondephone: It's kind of like country Trucking songs but trance.
	9:22pm Lori from Eau Claire: Planet Clare?
	9:22pm Yes: yes
	9:22pm Gurldoggie: I keep waiting for the vocals to kick in! "She came from Planet Claire I knew she came from there!"
	9:23pm Senor Headache: Planet Eau Claire
	9:24pm Ira: spoiler alert: It's going to be a long wait.

	9:25pm BH: she wasn't traveling at the speed of sound from Planet Claire
	♥ 9:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Where should we put the flag? Plan' it 'ere!
	9:26pm Yes: what album is this from?
	9:26pm Ira: Klassic Rock Meditations
	9:27pm Scott Williams: Hiya Greggy & Ira & Georgia & HP Ken and friends!
	9:28pm Senor Headache: This is gold. Ricky Wilson’s genius on infinite repeat.
	9:38pm TK: hypnolovewheel soooo good
	9:39pm TDK60: Hypnolovewheel played my town, in the last night of a club, once.
	9:41pm Greg from ZONE 5: Last fill-in I did I played Hypnolovewheel based on their cover art, not actually ever having heard them. Belock promptly dressed me down for my ignorance.
	9:42pm Kramrellim: Love their album Space Mountain. I believe they opened for King Missile at Maxwell's once.
	9:43pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
	9:43pm Ira: Oh, Greg, been on the other end of that dressing down many times!
	9:44pm thesecoronalives: bloody guts murphy !
	9:44pm Ira: Kramerllim: Me too. And for me, Angel Food's even better.
	9:44pm Greg from ZONE 5: Bloody Guts Murphy was quite the sousaphone player.

	♥ 9:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Roky
	9:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This looks like a great set, can we switch shows for a few minutes?
	9:52pm Ira: Absolutely, T-o-p Todd. I'll be right over.
	♥ 9:59pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira. I see I missed a lot of good songs during the first hour once again. If only I didn't have to sit with a sick friend every Tuesday night from 9:00 to approximately 9:58 p.m.
	9:59pm Sonny Jim: great tune thank you
	10:00pm vj pussycat: hi lil sonny
	10:00pm Ira: Gaylord, it's cool--you got here in time to hear Riki Maiocchi sing "sacrifici."
	10:01pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:02pm Sonny Jim: hi vj I'm watching your stream while I listen
	10:03pm Ira: Oh crap, Sonny Jim! Thanks for the warning. Putting on pants!
	10:06pm vj pussycat: @lil sonny, are you listening to reloadio and ira's show at the same time while watching my visuals?

	♥ 10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SONG
	10:07pm Sonny Jim: hahaha
	10:08pm slowbear: ira they're saying covid might have come to china via imported frozen food
	10:13pm Ira: slowbear, I never trusted that Good Humor man!
	10:15pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Ira and listeners. Let's get groovy. OR remain groovy. Gaylord! Good to see you, brother.
	10:15pm Sonny Jim: affirmative p-cat and recording you direct bonzer shows!
	10:18pm TDK60: I love commas, but tend to overdo them.
	♥ 10:20pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t notice (and approve of) Ms. Bass’s use of commas before you made your kind dedication.
	10:21pm vj pussycat: ok lil sonny. i'm gonna do a stream mixing visuals to your new remix later after ira's show
	10:22pm Sonny Jim: neato thanks
	10:23pm Jeremy: Digging the show, Ira! I hadn't realized The Honey Bees = The Cookies! Did they record under any other names?
	10:25pm Ira: Jeremy: also the Cinderellas and the Palisades. George Clinton had nothing on the Cookies!
	10:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Bass takes a beating, Billy Boy must keep eating
	10:28pm bill hanke: i do need some pizza. got so stoned i forgot
	10:28pm HyperDose: Oooh this is smooth
	10:29pm Jeremy: Thanks Ira! My Cookies jar overfloweth...
	10:29pm HyperDose: oh yeah pizza day. whoops
	10:31pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:31pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Mr. Pumpy!
	10:32pm Mike W: Ornament, as in Dulli and Mays??
	10:34pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ꒱
	10:35pm Ira: Mike W--no, this is a band from Nashville.
	10:35pm Georgia: Cool song
	♥ 10:35pm Gaylord Fields: Also, Cookies members/ex-members (and sisters) Earl-Jean and Darlene McCrea released solo records under their respective names that were essentially Cookies singles.
	10:39pm patrick321: That Kramer tune is really pretty
	10:39pm Jeremy: Cheers, Gaylord: I need a new copy of that Earl-Jean Love & Learn/Something Good. I had it in a metal 45 box and it got caught on the inner edge and cracked at the rim. :(
	10:40pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:40pm Matt Fiveash: Something tells me you're onto something good there, Gaylord. Hello to you and Ira and all the gang.
	10:40pm Jason from Houston: I hope my mom is listening. I sent her a link.
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Matt!
	10:42pm Georgia: Pinky and the pointers! More piano lessons please
	10:43pm Ira: Sorry, Georgia, I left all my Pinky & The Pointers records at the storage space. Next week!
	10:45pm vj pussycat: i love this band
	10:45pm Richy4619: ▓▓▓▓▓^~^~=)^~^~^▓▓
	10:45pm Ira: Love the redacted comment!
	10:47pm Richy4619: --8<-------------[ cut here ]---
	♥ 10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alas - where was FMU when I was a kid coming down off acid alone in the dark...
	10:47pm Bobby K: I am elevated and jamming
	10:49pm Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍ ᐡ ᴗ ᐡ ◍꒱:+
	10:54pm Jason from Houston: Gah. That film is so good...
	10:55pm Beep Boop: Thanks for celebrating someone who's still alive! Yay Carole King!
	10:56pm Beep Boop: Yay Carol Kane too!
	10:57pm bill hanke: Wasn't Born to Follow will be played at my funeral. might as well have Goin Back too. that'll get em weepy!!!
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: ❤️❤️ Thanks Kris! ❤️❤️
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: Whoops, sorry, wrong playlist.
	♥ 10:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeremy: Been there! I've had a 45 jam in that little space in my own metal singles box, but I was somehow able to pry it out without damage. Afterwards, I sealed off that crevice with a layer of duct tape to stave off a repeat occurrence.
	11:03pm bill hanke: is this Canada's The Minstrels ?
	11:04pm b k: My stream keeps cutting out on the TuneIn app every few minutes. Ugh.
	11:04pm Ira: Only if Canada is a city in Jamaica I'm unfamiliar with.
	11:07pm BH: yeah, my TuneIn has also been struggling, so I just finally went to the main page to stream it off of there.
	11:08pm headcleaner: @RR63 - the pandemic makes me feel (at least a little bit) like that kid coming off acid in the dark, each and every day... thankfully we have FMU
	11:09pm bill hanke: i missed the song along w the others
	11:10pm Jedley: Wow! This is the BEST
	11:11pm Chop Scott: I'm a happy listener--sounds great Ira.
	11:11pm Alex of Chicago: Strong Every Bros. vibes.
	11:14pm Jeremy: Gaylord, that's a pro tip!!
	♥ 11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: headcleaner yeah.
	11:15pm jeff-m: Evenign All - glad you doing ok Chop Scott
	11:19pm Michael Shore: it took Josh Kantor for me to realize how much Del Shannon's "Hats Off to Larry" cops "One Fine Day." Hats off to Kantor (and Ira)!
	11:19pm bill hanke: every Nats game i go to - pop up - i shout "Yo la tango!"
	11:19pm Jedley: In TV they call it the toss, but in independent radio it's called the put in a bag and throw
	11:20pm Lori from Eau Claire: Great tribute tonight, Ira! Thank you!!!
	11:20pm Firebottle: Great show, but getting alot of dropouts... anybody else?
	11:20pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:21pm Jedley: @Firebottle yes indeed
	11:21pm Lori from Eau Claire: Yes, on the dropouts
	11:21pm Bobby K: @Firebottle yes
	11:21pm Michael Shore: yes firebottle lotta dropouts! thanl goodness it's not just me.
	11:21pm bill hanke: yes dropouts. i never completed college.
	♥ 11:21pm Little Danny: Wow, this version of "Snow Queen" is incredible. Never noticed how it shares a bit of Miles Davis's "All Blues."
	11:21pm Jedley: It's a collective psychosis, don't worry
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: "Hats Off to Larry" precedes "One Fine Day" by two years.
	11:22pm evancuts: I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with her a few years back. Carole found out I lived in Montclair, she eagerly shared stories with me about her years living next door in West Orange (which were well documented in the song she wrote for the Monkees-- "Pleasant Valley Sunday"). Needless to say, the Montclair area was way, way less groovy back when she lived there. After her marriage ended and she left West Orange, Carole left one thing behind: her doorbell--which played the title to the song she wrote that helped pay for that house. "Will you still love me tomorrow" chimed whenever a visitor rang the bell. Apparently, the folks who now live in her old West Orange house still have that same doorbell. I keep meaning to pop by there and see for myself that it still works.
	11:23pm Scott Williams: Sorry about the dropouts, all - you should've heard em during A440! This is a huge improvement, thanks for your patience.
	11:23pm Michael Shore: @Gaylord Fields I stand corrected! after stepping on a rake. thanks and hats off to you!
	11:23pm bill hanke: you have to record that doorbell
	11:24pm Jedley: Thanks Scott! It must be hard for the electrons to make it out from under the snow and all the way here anyway
	11:24pm Ira: I'm ringing every doorbell in West Orange tomorrow.
	♥ 11:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: Great songs, the pair. I'll think of them both being divinely struck by the melodies in isolation.
	11:25pm vj pussycat: so, it's not my crappy internet?
	11:25pm headcleaner: happy doorbell-ditching, @evancuts!
	11:25pm Michael Shore: @Gaylord Fields agreed
	11:26pm Lori from Eau Claire: The faulty stream is unfortunate but the show is worth it
	11:26pm bill hanke: Ira: wear a lab coat w a clipboard. someone will know.
	♥ 11:27pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I'll make things easy on you by giving you the addresses of the former homes of Kathleen and her Uncle Bert in West Orange so you can rule those two out. Or maybe just begin on Pleasant Valley Way and make concentric circles away from there.
	♥ 11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Kind of Blue' was (is) huge & ubiquitous - & the song seems informed by - & a nod to Jazz...
	11:29pm Ira: Not so fast, Gaylord--first I'll need to know what songs the doorbells play at Kathleen and Uncle Bert's former residences.
	11:30pm Tome: yes great show !<>! ,,
	11:31pm Tome: ,, ,.,. [hamster in the server again ] ,, ..
	11:32pm ala the painter: thank you Ira!
	11:33pm ariella: Thanks for the jams!!
	♥ 11:33pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, Uncle Bert had a classic "bing-bong," but Kathleen grew up with a broken doorbell — so you can't really rule out that one, but you may have to do some repair work first.
	♥ 11:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma go horizontal in the dark - but I'll keep FMU on while I got WiFis to steal... TY Ira !
	11:34pm Scott Williams: Wow, this Helvete! Gorgeous cover too www.soundohm.com...
	♥ 11:35pm Gaylord Fields: And yes, Ira, I woke her up to ask her.
	11:36pm jeff-m: yeah this is really nice
	♥ 11:37pm Gaylord Fields: @Scott Williams @jeff-m: I agree — this Helvete pairs nicely with mid-period Perry Mason.
	11:37pm jeff-m: breaking up a bit though
	11:37pm alan the painter: nice to see that programers listen, thanks for being there, all! -i like the high math
	11:38pm Dusty: Hello friends, arriving late but will be loving the archive tomorrow.
	♥ 11:38pm Little Danny: Aye, yes, this is incredible.
	11:38pm Rick G: If you just assume the dropouts are part of the song, it’s not a problem.
	11:39pm alan the painter: GF, ha ha ha
	11:39pm Sonny Jim: exactly Rick
	11:39pm Ira: Gaylord, we loved last night's Perry Mason rerun--when they invented meta by making the plot turn on a hank of toupee in the dead man's hand.
	11:40pm jeff-m: damn, was always a Matlock guy
	11:40pm Scott Williams: Haaa, Gaylord! It's paradoxically soothing my anxiety every time the stream glitches out on it.
	♥ 11:41pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, anytime you get a toupee expert on the witness stand, you're in for some riveting courtroom drama.
	♥ 11:43pm Gaylord Fields: Nutley Sam and I have noticed that the show will often book the same actors within a season's span, but he'll play one role bewigged and the other be-chrome-domed.
	11:43pm Ira: Now that I think of it, was that the same episode where Hamilton Burger, in a conference in the judge's chambers w/Perry, crowed that his case was so strong that he couldn't possibly lose?
	♥ 11:44pm Hoboken Jack: Late hello all and thanks Ira, Georgia, Scott!!!
	♥ 11:44pm Gaylord Fields: Uh-huh: "BUT WE'VE GOT THE GUILTY MAN RIGHT HERE, PERRY!!"
	11:45pm Scott Williams: Howdy Jack!
	11:47pm Mike W: i could listen to moogy burbles all night to be honest
	11:49pm Michael Shore: burbles for sure. I couldn't listen to Moogy Klingman all night.
	♥ 11:49pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: You read my mind! :)
	11:50pm Jeremy: Apparently Carole King lives up here in Morningside Heights now, perhaps I will bump into her one fine day...
	11:51pm Mike W: tiny burbles
	11:51pm Ira: . . . Or you can just start ringing doorbells.
	11:52pm Michael Shore: @GaylordFields I think Max Crook has to have something to do with it
	11:53pm Jedley: This really brings out the feeling of the Carole King version
	11:53pm Michael Shore: @MikeW Don Don Don!
	♥ 11:54pm Gaylord Fields: TV Alert: Tomorrow's Odd Couple episode on Decades is the one where Felix's teenage daughter runs away from home to become a Paul Williams groupie. I am not making that up.
	11:55pm Rick G: Been watching Odd Couple on Hulu. Struck by how damn sweet Al Molinaro was.
	♥ 11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the fun songs and laughs, DJ g-IRA-ffe! Have a nice St. Valentine's Day.
	11:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Ira! This was the only good part of working til midnight.
	11:56pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Ira Enjoyed the show
	11:57pm thesecoronalives: thanks, Ira!
	11:57pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Great show, thanks Ira & Georgia!!!
	♥ 11:57pm Little Danny: Thank you Ira.
	11:57pm Michael Shore: thanks for another great time Ira and all, despite the dropouts (and the audio going silent nyuk nyuk nyuk)
	11:57pm Jedley: Already?? Super good, thanks!
	11:57pm Tome: Wonderful show Ira yes ty !<>!
	11:58pm Jeremy: Thanks Ira! Dropout Boogie Down!

	9:11pm Ira: Ken From Hyde Park: rim shot! Revolution Rabbit: We'll be going in and out of the Carole King songbook tonight. "Frères Africains," for instance, not by her . . . at least I don't think it is.
	9:12pm Ira: Yes, Jedley, if only all our institutions utilized their naming-rights money as wisely.
	9:13pm Shane the D: Re: Georgia...so you're saying wikipedia is wrong? This may lead me to question everything.

	9:21pm Whosondephone: It's kind of like country Trucking songs but trance.
	9:22pm Lori from Eau Claire: Planet Clare?
	9:22pm Yes: yes
	9:22pm Gurldoggie: I keep waiting for the vocals to kick in! "She came from Planet Claire I knew she came from there!"
	9:23pm Senor Headache: Planet Eau Claire
	9:24pm Ira: spoiler alert: It's going to be a long wait.
	♥ 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She came from Planet Claire ...but she was in no damn hurry...
	9:25pm BH: she wasn't traveling at the speed of sound from Planet Claire
	♥ 9:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Where should we put the flag? Plan' it 'ere!

	9:28pm Senor Headache: This is gold. Ricky Wilson’s genius on infinite repeat.
	9:38pm TK: hypnolovewheel soooo good
	9:39pm TDK60: Hypnolovewheel played my town, in the last night of a club, once.
	9:41pm Greg from ZONE 5: Last fill-in I did I played Hypnolovewheel based on their cover art, not actually ever having heard them. Belock promptly dressed me down for my ignorance.
	9:42pm Kramrellim: Love their album Space Mountain. I believe they opened for King Missile at Maxwell's once.
	9:43pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
	9:43pm Ira: Oh, Greg, been on the other end of that dressing down many times!
	9:44pm thesecoronalives: bloody guts murphy !
	9:44pm Ira: Kramerllim: Me too. And for me, Angel Food's even better.
	9:44pm Greg from ZONE 5: Bloody Guts Murphy was quite the sousaphone player.

	9:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This looks like a great set, can we switch shows for a few minutes?
	9:52pm Ira: Absolutely, T-o-p Todd. I'll be right over.
	♥ 9:59pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira. I see I missed a lot of good songs during the first hour once again. If only I didn't have to sit with a sick friend every Tuesday night from 9:00 to approximately 9:58 p.m.
	9:59pm Sonny Jim: great tune thank you
	10:00pm vj pussycat: hi lil sonny
	10:00pm Ira: Gaylord, it's cool--you got here in time to hear Riki Maiocchi sing "sacrifici."
	10:01pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:02pm Sonny Jim: hi vj I'm watching your stream while I listen
	10:03pm Ira: Oh crap, Sonny Jim! Thanks for the warning. Putting on pants!

	10:08pm slowbear: ira they're saying covid might have come to china via imported frozen food
	10:13pm Ira: slowbear, I never trusted that Good Humor man!
	10:15pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Ira and listeners. Let's get groovy. OR remain groovy. Gaylord! Good to see you, brother.
	10:15pm Sonny Jim: affirmative p-cat and recording you direct bonzer shows!
	10:18pm TDK60: I love commas, but tend to overdo them.
	♥ 10:20pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t notice (and approve of) Ms. Bass’s use of commas before you made your kind dedication.
	10:21pm vj pussycat: ok lil sonny. i'm gonna do a stream mixing visuals to your new remix later after ira's show
	10:22pm Sonny Jim: neato thanks
	10:23pm Jeremy: Digging the show, Ira! I hadn't realized The Honey Bees = The Cookies! Did they record under any other names?
	10:25pm Ira: Jeremy: also the Cinderellas and the Palisades. George Clinton had nothing on the Cookies!
	10:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Bass takes a beating, Billy Boy must keep eating
	10:28pm bill hanke: i do need some pizza. got so stoned i forgot
	10:28pm HyperDose: Oooh this is smooth
	10:29pm Jeremy: Thanks Ira! My Cookies jar overfloweth...

	10:34pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ꒱
	10:35pm Ira: Mike W--no, this is a band from Nashville.
	10:35pm Georgia: Cool song
	♥ 10:35pm Gaylord Fields: Also, Cookies members/ex-members (and sisters) Earl-Jean and Darlene McCrea released solo records under their respective names that were essentially Cookies singles.
	10:39pm patrick321: That Kramer tune is really pretty
	10:39pm Jeremy: Cheers, Gaylord: I need a new copy of that Earl-Jean Love & Learn/Something Good. I had it in a metal 45 box and it got caught on the inner edge and cracked at the rim. :(
	10:40pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:40pm Matt Fiveash: Something tells me you're onto something good there, Gaylord. Hello to you and Ira and all the gang.
	10:40pm Jason from Houston: I hope my mom is listening. I sent her a link.
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Matt!
	10:42pm Georgia: Pinky and the pointers! More piano lessons please
	10:43pm Ira: Sorry, Georgia, I left all my Pinky & The Pointers records at the storage space. Next week!

	♥ 10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alas - where was FMU when I was a kid coming down off acid alone in the dark...
	10:47pm Bobby K: I am elevated and jamming
	10:49pm Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍ ᐡ ᴗ ᐡ ◍꒱:+
	10:54pm Jason from Houston: Gah. That film is so good...
	10:55pm Beep Boop: Thanks for celebrating someone who's still alive! Yay Carole King!
	10:56pm Beep Boop: Yay Carol Kane too!
	10:57pm bill hanke: Wasn't Born to Follow will be played at my funeral. might as well have Goin Back too. that'll get em weepy!!!
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: ❤️❤️ Thanks Kris! ❤️❤️
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: Whoops, sorry, wrong playlist.
	♥ 10:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeremy: Been there! I've had a 45 jam in that little space in my own metal singles box, but I was somehow able to pry it out without damage. Afterwards, I sealed off that crevice with a layer of duct tape to stave off a repeat occurrence.
	11:03pm bill hanke: is this Canada's The Minstrels ?
	11:04pm b k: My stream keeps cutting out on the TuneIn app every few minutes. Ugh.
	11:04pm Ira: Only if Canada is a city in Jamaica I'm unfamiliar with.
	11:07pm BH: yeah, my TuneIn has also been struggling, so I just finally went to the main page to stream it off of there.
	11:08pm headcleaner: @RR63 - the pandemic makes me feel (at least a little bit) like that kid coming off acid in the dark, each and every day... thankfully we have FMU
	11:09pm bill hanke: i missed the song along w the others
	11:10pm Jedley: Wow! This is the BEST
	11:11pm Chop Scott: I'm a happy listener--sounds great Ira.
	11:11pm Alex of Chicago: Strong Every Bros. vibes.
	11:14pm Jeremy: Gaylord, that's a pro tip!!
	♥ 11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: headcleaner yeah.
	11:15pm jeff-m: Evenign All - glad you doing ok Chop Scott
	11:19pm Michael Shore: it took Josh Kantor for me to realize how much Del Shannon's "Hats Off to Larry" cops "One Fine Day." Hats off to Kantor (and Ira)!
	11:19pm bill hanke: every Nats game i go to - pop up - i shout "Yo la tango!"
	11:19pm Jedley: In TV they call it the toss, but in independent radio it's called the put in a bag and throw
	11:20pm Lori from Eau Claire: Great tribute tonight, Ira! Thank you!!!
	11:20pm Firebottle: Great show, but getting alot of dropouts... anybody else?
	11:20pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:21pm Jedley: @Firebottle yes indeed
	11:21pm Lori from Eau Claire: Yes, on the dropouts
	11:21pm Bobby K: @Firebottle yes
	11:21pm Michael Shore: yes firebottle lotta dropouts! thanl goodness it's not just me.
	11:21pm bill hanke: yes dropouts. i never completed college.
	♥ 11:21pm Little Danny: Wow, this version of "Snow Queen" is incredible. Never noticed how it shares a bit of Miles Davis's "All Blues."
	11:21pm Jedley: It's a collective psychosis, don't worry
	♥ 11:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: "Hats Off to Larry" precedes "One Fine Day" by two years.
	11:22pm evancuts: I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with her a few years back. Carole found out I lived in Montclair, she eagerly shared stories with me about her years living next door in West Orange (which were well documented in the song she wrote for the Monkees-- "Pleasant Valley Sunday"). Needless to say, the Montclair area was way, way less groovy back when she lived there. After her marriage ended and she left West Orange, Carole left one thing behind: her doorbell--which played the title to the song she wrote that helped pay for that house. "Will you still love me tomorrow" chimed whenever a visitor rang the bell. Apparently, the folks who now live in her old West Orange house still have that same doorbell. I keep meaning to pop by there and see for myself that it still works.
	11:23pm Scott Williams: Sorry about the dropouts, all - you should've heard em during A440! This is a huge improvement, thanks for your patience.
	11:23pm Michael Shore: @Gaylord Fields I stand corrected! after stepping on a rake. thanks and hats off to you!
	11:23pm bill hanke: you have to record that doorbell
	11:24pm Jedley: Thanks Scott! It must be hard for the electrons to make it out from under the snow and all the way here anyway
	11:24pm Ira: I'm ringing every doorbell in West Orange tomorrow.
	♥ 11:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: Great songs, the pair. I'll think of them both being divinely struck by the melodies in isolation.
	11:25pm vj pussycat: so, it's not my crappy internet?
	11:25pm headcleaner: happy doorbell-ditching, @evancuts!
	11:25pm Michael Shore: @Gaylord Fields agreed
	11:26pm Lori from Eau Claire: The faulty stream is unfortunate but the show is worth it
	11:26pm bill hanke: Ira: wear a lab coat w a clipboard. someone will know.
	♥ 11:27pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I'll make things easy on you by giving you the addresses of the former homes of Kathleen and her Uncle Bert in West Orange so you can rule those two out. Or maybe just begin on Pleasant Valley Way and make concentric circles away from there.
	♥ 11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Kind of Blue' was (is) huge & ubiquitous - & the song seems informed by - & a nod to Jazz...
	11:29pm Ira: Not so fast, Gaylord--first I'll need to know what songs the doorbells play at Kathleen and Uncle Bert's former residences.
	11:30pm Tome: yes great show !<>! ,,
	11:31pm Tome: ,, ,.,. [hamster in the server again ] ,, ..
	11:32pm ala the painter: thank you Ira!
	11:33pm ariella: Thanks for the jams!!
	♥ 11:33pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, Uncle Bert had a classic "bing-bong," but Kathleen grew up with a broken doorbell — so you can't really rule out that one, but you may have to do some repair work first.
	♥ 11:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma go horizontal in the dark - but I'll keep FMU on while I got WiFis to steal... TY Ira !
	11:34pm Scott Williams: Wow, this Helvete! Gorgeous cover too www.soundohm.com...
	♥ 11:35pm Gaylord Fields: And yes, Ira, I woke her up to ask her.
	11:36pm jeff-m: yeah this is really nice
	♥ 11:37pm Gaylord Fields: @Scott Williams @jeff-m: I agree — this Helvete pairs nicely with mid-period Perry Mason.
	11:37pm jeff-m: breaking up a bit though
	11:37pm alan the painter: nice to see that programers listen, thanks for being there, all! -i like the high math
	11:38pm Dusty: Hello friends, arriving late but will be loving the archive tomorrow.
	♥ 11:38pm Little Danny: Aye, yes, this is incredible.
	11:38pm Rick G: If you just assume the dropouts are part of the song, it’s not a problem.
	11:39pm alan the painter: GF, ha ha ha
	11:39pm Sonny Jim: exactly Rick
	11:39pm Ira: Gaylord, we loved last night's Perry Mason rerun--when they invented meta by making the plot turn on a hank of toupee in the dead man's hand.
	11:40pm jeff-m: damn, was always a Matlock guy
	11:40pm Scott Williams: Haaa, Gaylord! It's paradoxically soothing my anxiety every time the stream glitches out on it.
	♥ 11:41pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, anytime you get a toupee expert on the witness stand, you're in for some riveting courtroom drama.
	♥ 11:43pm Gaylord Fields: Nutley Sam and I have noticed that the show will often book the same actors within a season's span, but he'll play one role bewigged and the other be-chrome-domed.
	11:43pm Ira: Now that I think of it, was that the same episode where Hamilton Burger, in a conference in the judge's chambers w/Perry, crowed that his case was so strong that he couldn't possibly lose?
	♥ 11:44pm Hoboken Jack: Late hello all and thanks Ira, Georgia, Scott!!!
	♥ 11:44pm Gaylord Fields: Uh-huh: "BUT WE'VE GOT THE GUILTY MAN RIGHT HERE, PERRY!!"
	11:45pm Scott Williams: Howdy Jack!
	11:47pm Mike W: i could listen to moogy burbles all night to be honest
	11:49pm Michael Shore: burbles for sure. I couldn't listen to Moogy Klingman all night.
	♥ 11:49pm Gaylord Fields: @Michael Shore: You read my mind! :)
	11:50pm Jeremy: Apparently Carole King lives up here in Morningside Heights now, perhaps I will bump into her one fine day...
	11:51pm Mike W: tiny burbles
	11:51pm Ira: . . . Or you can just start ringing doorbells.
	11:52pm Michael Shore: @GaylordFields I think Max Crook has to have something to do with it
	11:53pm Jedley: This really brings out the feeling of the Carole King version
	11:53pm Michael Shore: @MikeW Don Don Don!
	♥ 11:54pm Gaylord Fields: TV Alert: Tomorrow's Odd Couple episode on Decades is the one where Felix's teenage daughter runs away from home to become a Paul Williams groupie. I am not making that up.
	11:55pm Rick G: Been watching Odd Couple on Hulu. Struck by how damn sweet Al Molinaro was.
	♥ 11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the fun songs and laughs, DJ g-IRA-ffe! Have a nice St. Valentine's Day.
	11:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Ira! This was the only good part of working til midnight.
	11:56pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Ira Enjoyed the show
	11:57pm thesecoronalives: thanks, Ira!
	11:57pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Great show, thanks Ira & Georgia!!!
	♥ 11:57pm Little Danny: Thank you Ira.
	11:57pm Michael Shore: thanks for another great time Ira and all, despite the dropouts (and the audio going silent nyuk nyuk nyuk)
	11:57pm Jedley: Already?? Super good, thanks!
	11:57pm Tome: Wonderful show Ira yes ty !<>!
