	3:18pm PJ: I bought this album in the 80s when I came across it in the bin, thinking it had the Plimsouls song on it (I had heard it on the radio, had no idea who performed it). Stiv's song is good, but obv not the same thing.
	3:18pm Cooh John: Frank Seschich a co-writer with Stiv?

	3:26pm Handy Haversack: Missed you up there, Jack! Bet Bagpipe across the board!

	3:34pm Joe B: FUBAR Fridays
	3:34pm DjLorraine: 🙋‍♀️Cooh John I did lights for a band that played Zero Hour
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Church of Sandy
	3:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: Freaky Fridays...that I can remember!
	3:38pm medson: I was reading bits and pieces about Sandy Denny. Similarly Syd Barrett is who I though of

	3:39pm Cooh John: 🙋‍♂️DjLorraine. Which one?
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: yeah Todd! looking forward to this rap session in a big way!
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: I figured you'd play "Percy's Song" - in honor of Percy Helton, no doubt!
	3:42pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dennis Diken: Also in honor of when I found a copy of Marty Robbins "Rock'n'Rollin with Robins" 10" in a Joliet thrift store.
	3:43pm Handy Haversack: So. Freaking. Good.
	👻 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Dennis!
	👻 3:44pm John L: Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman, an extra track on the Full House cd, has one of my favorite Thompson guitar solos. It has a Neil Young edge to it.
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Simply definitive band.
	3:47pm steveo: ok now you're just trying to make me cry
	3:48pm medson: Beautiful song
	3:48pm Handy Haversack: 100 percent, Rev Rab. 100 percent, steveo.
	3:48pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Dylan was right, Fairport covered him best
	3:48pm Miriam: This song is magical - it’s my favorite
	3:48pm LCBD: Heartbreakingly beautiful song!
	3:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dungaroos Kipawah: I thought Dylan said Johnny Rivers covered him best...
	3:50pm Joey Joe Joe: Clay Pigeon was my gateway to Fairport Convention
	3:50pm George in WO: Hi Todd, really looking forward to the Thompson interview. Hi Hoboken (via Maryland) Jack!
	👻 3:51pm JG: In my opinion this version of who knows where the time goes ( the one Todd's playing now) is the the best version. Such an incredible voice. May be the greatest singer of all time. At least on this track she is. And of course the guitar part is part of the mystique. Incredible
	3:51pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @TOPT: Him too. Dylan famous for doling out lotsa fulsome praise . . .
	3:52pm dano59: played a Led Zeppelin tribute show once, and asked our mandolin player if she’d mind dressing like Sandy Denny ... she did, totally rocked the look.
	3:52pm Spinning Giant: Gorgeous song for a sunny Saturday afternoon Cheers Todd
	👻 3:52pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Todd and everyone. Chiming in a bit late. I too am looking forward to this interview.
	3:52pm Victrola Tom: This is the last song Sandy Denny performed before her untimely demise.
	3:54pm chresti: Hi Todd-0-Phonic and listener convention!
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Hi, chresti!
	3:55pm Spinning Giant: and howdy all
	3:56pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: Hey Jack!
	4:06pm slugluv1313: Judy Collins was my introduction to "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" when i was a teenager, mid-1970s . . . then i heard Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention <3 <3 <3
	4:09pm Frank Zaatar: I saw RT at a tribute to Leonard Cohen (Sincerely L. Cohen). He sang the best cover of Bird on the Wire I've ever heard.
	4:09pm dale: i was a graphic designer. i would have bagged it in a second too. but i had no other talent.
	4:11pm Jessica B: Art schools in Britain in the 60s spawned so many great musicians
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imagine having worked with both SandyDenny & NickDrake. Alone!
	4:16pm eric from lake hiawatha: Well designed questions to create a fine interview that Mr Thompson seems to be enjoying
	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Eric!
	4:22pm Handy Haversack: Todd, you are slinging gifts like Santa with a catapult. Thanks, man!
	4:24pm Stuntz: There's a gas station opening in town today, Mr. O-Phonice? For my car or my intestines?
	4:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Both. The gas station near the firehouse on Newark/Observer is now a PAL (never heard of this before)...there were astronauts and dinosaurs hanging out. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop and give my regards.
	4:27pm medson: Amazing songs. And great first part of the interview.
	4:27pm slugluv1313: Wall of Death <3 <3 <3 been obsessing over this song all day -- THANK YOU TODD!!!
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: THIS. SONG.
	4:29pm Heath: Beautiful song
	4:29pm slugluv1313: YES
	4:29pm Rich in Bay Ridge: This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard
	4:30pm Old Dave: This is a great interview, and I knew the Vincent Black Lightning had to be in it!
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's something very special - priceless actually - in being among the most exalted ranks of Rawk Gittarists - but not in a style representing exclusively Blues influence - nor the Classical thing that the Shredders would embrace - but in UK Folk. By itself. Aside from him as Songwriter, Performing Bard &tc. He has value & cred as Folk preservationist - Alt Music idol - all the pistons. Vincent more often sped up to more MPH than this version !...
	4:30pm steveo: Wonderful interview & show 🙂
	4:30pm Handy Haversack: I regret that I have but one clicky-star to give.
	4:31pm Rich in Bay Ridge: RT does things that only he can do.
	4:31pm Stuntz: Stick Romano ribbon cutting with a T.Rex would've been a sight to see.
	4:31pm Dennis Diken: Fabulous, TOPT!
	4:31pm Ross T.: This all sounds perfect today.
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I call him a Living Treasure. & you need to see him Live. Every time.
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: This whole album! Trans-freaking-cendent.
	4:35pm dale: this and the bert jansch interview from way back yonder are my faves. and lulu. who doesn't love lulu?
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: I love Lulu, Dale. I love Lulu.
	4:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @dale: Thanks! It was so much fun to talk to Lulu and then a few days later I got to hang with her at one of her gigs, which was also quite special.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & Beeswing about Anne Briggs ? This track - what descriptors or superlatives have you got ? I'm not equal to it...
	4:39pm dale: did you do shots together? that would be a real story there....
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As good a Ballad as any there is.
	👻 4:40pm John L: I may have mentioned this last week, but if you have seven minutes to spare check out Drowned Dog, Black Night from the first French Frith Kaiser Thompson album. Maybe he'll mention it if he writes a follow up to Beeswing, which is a great read. I just started the new John Cooper Clarke memoir-I Wanna Be You. Excellent, so far. He would probably make a good guest.
	4:40pm George in WO: Bee’s Wing: Thompson’s masterpiece.
	4:41pm dale: thefortyfive.com...
	4:42pm NikiA: Like many, this is the only song of his I knew. God I love this. Early April I asked about folk music shows on WFMU and I got roasted 😂 but this is that good gooood shit 🖤🖤
	4:42pm d: Why is it not pronounced "Bee's Wing" ?
	4:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @d: It could be.
	4:45pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @TOPT: Thanks pal. Truer words were never spoken. The light fantastic shall be tripped. Look out world & gangway.
	4:45pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, Tom, is it your bday again already? Happy bday, old pal! Kate and I are fully vaxxed and willing to stand you multiple drinks at the moment of your choosing. Happy days, friend!
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers dale.
	4:46pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Handy: Sounds divine, I look forward to seeing your faces & sharing some laughs
	4:47pm medson: Is he referring to Led Zeppelin ripping off Willie Dixon etc ?
	4:47pm dale: have glass of wine now so cheers back rev rab.
	4:49pm Glistener MW: Great interview with the great RT — thanks Todd!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♉︎Taurean Solar Return Dungaroos ! : www.facebook.com...

	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah wow - Thanks for that.
	4:59pm John Dalton: Thanks, Todd! That was a great interview!

	5:02pm Victrola Tom: @Todd I’ve been racing to the fridge when my beer is empty, but that’s about it!
	5:04pm steveo: Sound quality was great too. Was he in the Magic Factory?
	👻 5:04pm Hoboken Jack: Oh that gas station is some kind of guerilla advertising for a Netflix show, it's still (apologies all) The Great Valero.
	5:04pm Creature Boy: Sanford sounds like Richard here
	5:05pm dale: this is pretty gothic.
	5:05pm listener monica: back in 1981 Lynn Samuels on WBAI interviewed Brian Eno and asked him who he was listening to and he said he was listening to Richard Thompson
	5:05pm chresti: This song, THAT GUITAR!

	👻 5:13pm Bruce S.: hey rev rab
	5:13pm Slaboch: Fantastic show Todd!
	5:14pm MonicaC: Todd, I’ve learned more during this set than I did in four (ok 5) years of college.
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @MonicaC: Ha! Well I always loved the Springsteen line in "No Surrender": "We learned more from a three minute record than we ever did in school".
	5:15pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Slaboch: Thanks pal!
	👻 5:15pm Bruce S.: thanks for the bo todd

	👻 5:16pm OnTheTrain: Todd do you know if Richard listens to WFMU ? And if so what does he tune in to ?
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always think of one of the Everlys saying first hearing BoDiddley on somebody's headphones in the 1950s was world-changing.
	5:17pm Handy Haversack: Just going to assume he's on Bryce's board.
	5:17pm Creature Boy: Gotta love this rockin set
	5:18pm DonJuanTijuana: Super Killer show @TOPT!! Really enjoyed the interview & the choices selections!!!

	5:20pm bob Dublon former plasticland: Moon and Satellite on The lp Padded Lounge On Midnight Records i used the Bo Beat...good show Todd O
	5:20pm Dennis Diken: memories, memories....
	5:20pm medson: I need to own this Album
	5:21pm bob: if u like this you might like Plasticland
	👻 5:21pm Bruce S.: alot of influences hear and there in this set
	👻 5:23pm John L: Todd, I don't know how much you read about what to drink and eat after a second shot, but drinking something with electrolytes, as well as a lot of water, works. Suggested foods include brown rice, potatoes, salmon, various fresh whole foods. No spicy foods for a few days. I had my second shot on Weds and followed this. And some some exercise of the arm, too. Everyone reacts differently, I know, but the only after effects I had were a sore arm and minor fatigue.
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: That is good advice John!
	5:24pm bob dublon: i seen Dennis Diken at Billys old Mill ..mostly a bar known for country in Milwaukee
	5:26pm Dennis Diken: @bob dubion - was that show in '86?
	5:26pm dale: have a boatload of ramen noodles on hand and aspirin. and have fresh batteries in the tv remote.
	5:29pm paul: They could have put that on the 2 CD version of POB.
	👻 5:30pm Bruce S.: speed and kicks baby
	👻 5:32pm John L: Felt well enough today to get up at 6 am for my first visit to a record yard sale in a long time!!! Everyone was masked and I bought a bunch of great lps, not paying more than 3 bucks for any one:Hoodoo Gurus, The Move, Wizzard, Ben Vaughn, Bebop Deluxe, Willie Nile, Squeeze and more. There were pricier records that I had my eye on, but most of these titles hit that nostalgic sweet spot that has been growing since the pandemic hit.
	5:32pm Handy Haversack: SPOX!!
	5:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: Nice!!!
	👻 5:33pm Joel: Please tell me they are doing a full album together !!
	5:34pm Crei6hton: Good evening WFMU
	👻 5:34pm John L: Lotta Sparks this year. A new 2 1/2 hour documentary, by Edger Wright, and the score to a new film musical called Annette. It's Sparks world, the rest of us just live in it.

	👻 5:42pm Joel: Amazing Segue, Stellar set.. Kudos Todd
	5:42pm Victrola Tom: My only win of the day so far was tuning in to the Toddophonic Todd show!
	5:42pm Handy Haversack: I'm up $19 in poker right now, but Todd's show is still the biggest win of the weekend!
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raspberries triggering major Badfinger receptors ...I am still mostly ignorant of the Raspberries !
	👻 5:44pm Squints: RRN63, never too late to fix that.
	👻 5:45pm TonyR: Had to log in on mobile to hat-tip ToPT for today's set.
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Squints: ...what a nice young man you are to say that...
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Not since Shawn Sahm has a kid sounded so much like his dad.
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Tony, Tom & Handy!
	5:46pm Frank Zaatar: Actually, I was thinking of Emmett Rhodes. Maybe it's those intervals.
	5:46pm bob: yeah Dennis i believe it was 86..great show ...they very rarely had rock there even tho i do believe they also had the blasters there
	5:47pm Victrola Tom: @Handy: if you live in the area you’re welcome to join the Hoboken Poker Association! We’ll be starting back up in September after a year plus hiatus!
	👻 5:48pm Squints: RRN63, hah. There's so many acts I'm dumbfounded to know I woulda dug earlier if I'd only heard them. e.g. Cleaners From Venus. Thank you,Clay Pigeon.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: VT: I'm in Brooklyn! That's not too far off! Please feel free to hit me up through my WFMU profile to tell me more!

	5:48pm bob: was that really really Eric Carmen raspberries
	👻 5:49pm Squints: Heck, for 15 years the only Paul Collins Beat song I really knew was Rock And Roll Girl. Then for another 10 after that just that one and Work-a-Day World. But those 2 CBS records 1979 and 1981. If only I'da known.
	👻 5:49pm Squints: Whoot. Whoot.
	5:50pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @bob: Yup!
	5:50pm bobobob: oh i see. Fresh Raspberries not Stale Raspberries
	👻 5:50pm Squints: The Raspberries get really fun when they get their Who on.
	👻 5:50pm John L: This set of music is making the light at the end of the tunnel even brighter!!!
	5:51pm Victrola Tom: @Handy: will do!

	3:34pm DjLorraine: 🙋‍♀️Cooh John I did lights for a band that played Zero Hour
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Church of Sandy
	3:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: Freaky Fridays...that I can remember!

	👻 3:44pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Dennis!
	👻 3:44pm John L: Poor Will and the Jolly Hangman, an extra track on the Full House cd, has one of my favorite Thompson guitar solos. It has a Neil Young edge to it.

	3:47pm steveo: ok now you're just trying to make me cry
	3:48pm medson: Beautiful song
	3:48pm Handy Haversack: 100 percent, Rev Rab. 100 percent, steveo.
	3:48pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Dylan was right, Fairport covered him best
	3:48pm Miriam: This song is magical - it’s my favorite
	3:48pm LCBD: Heartbreakingly beautiful song!
	3:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Dungaroos Kipawah: I thought Dylan said Johnny Rivers covered him best...
	3:50pm Joey Joe Joe: Clay Pigeon was my gateway to Fairport Convention
	3:50pm George in WO: Hi Todd, really looking forward to the Thompson interview. Hi Hoboken (via Maryland) Jack!
	👻 3:51pm JG: In my opinion this version of who knows where the time goes ( the one Todd's playing now) is the the best version. Such an incredible voice. May be the greatest singer of all time. At least on this track she is. And of course the guitar part is part of the mystique. Incredible
	3:51pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @TOPT: Him too. Dylan famous for doling out lotsa fulsome praise . . .
	3:52pm dano59: played a Led Zeppelin tribute show once, and asked our mandolin player if she’d mind dressing like Sandy Denny ... she did, totally rocked the look.
	3:52pm Spinning Giant: Gorgeous song for a sunny Saturday afternoon Cheers Todd
	👻 3:52pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Todd and everyone. Chiming in a bit late. I too am looking forward to this interview.

	3:57pm Dennis Diken: Hey Jack!
	4:06pm slugluv1313: Judy Collins was my introduction to "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" when i was a teenager, mid-1970s . . . then i heard Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention <3 <3 <3
	4:09pm Frank Zaatar: I saw RT at a tribute to Leonard Cohen (Sincerely L. Cohen). He sang the best cover of Bird on the Wire I've ever heard.
	4:09pm dale: i was a graphic designer. i would have bagged it in a second too. but i had no other talent.
	4:11pm Jessica B: Art schools in Britain in the 60s spawned so many great musicians
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imagine having worked with both SandyDenny & NickDrake. Alone!
	4:16pm eric from lake hiawatha: Well designed questions to create a fine interview that Mr Thompson seems to be enjoying
	4:16pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Eric!
	4:22pm Handy Haversack: Todd, you are slinging gifts like Santa with a catapult. Thanks, man!
	4:24pm Stuntz: There's a gas station opening in town today, Mr. O-Phonice? For my car or my intestines?
	4:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Both. The gas station near the firehouse on Newark/Observer is now a PAL (never heard of this before)...there were astronauts and dinosaurs hanging out. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop and give my regards.
	4:27pm medson: Amazing songs. And great first part of the interview.
	4:27pm slugluv1313: Wall of Death <3 <3 <3 been obsessing over this song all day -- THANK YOU TODD!!!
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: THIS. SONG.
	4:29pm Heath: Beautiful song
	4:29pm slugluv1313: YES
	4:29pm Rich in Bay Ridge: This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard
	4:30pm Old Dave: This is a great interview, and I knew the Vincent Black Lightning had to be in it!
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's something very special - priceless actually - in being among the most exalted ranks of Rawk Gittarists - but not in a style representing exclusively Blues influence - nor the Classical thing that the Shredders would embrace - but in UK Folk. By itself. Aside from him as Songwriter, Performing Bard &tc. He has value & cred as Folk preservationist - Alt Music idol - all the pistons. Vincent more often sped up to more MPH than this version !...
	4:30pm steveo: Wonderful interview & show 🙂
	4:30pm Handy Haversack: I regret that I have but one clicky-star to give.
	4:31pm Rich in Bay Ridge: RT does things that only he can do.
	4:31pm Stuntz: Stick Romano ribbon cutting with a T.Rex would've been a sight to see.
	4:31pm Dennis Diken: Fabulous, TOPT!
	4:31pm Ross T.: This all sounds perfect today.
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I call him a Living Treasure. & you need to see him Live. Every time.
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: This whole album! Trans-freaking-cendent.
	4:35pm dale: this and the bert jansch interview from way back yonder are my faves. and lulu. who doesn't love lulu?
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: I love Lulu, Dale. I love Lulu.
	4:36pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @dale: Thanks! It was so much fun to talk to Lulu and then a few days later I got to hang with her at one of her gigs, which was also quite special.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & Beeswing about Anne Briggs ? This track - what descriptors or superlatives have you got ? I'm not equal to it...
	4:39pm dale: did you do shots together? that would be a real story there....
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As good a Ballad as any there is.
	👻 4:40pm John L: I may have mentioned this last week, but if you have seven minutes to spare check out Drowned Dog, Black Night from the first French Frith Kaiser Thompson album. Maybe he'll mention it if he writes a follow up to Beeswing, which is a great read. I just started the new John Cooper Clarke memoir-I Wanna Be You. Excellent, so far. He would probably make a good guest.
	4:40pm George in WO: Bee’s Wing: Thompson’s masterpiece.
	4:41pm dale: thefortyfive.com...
	4:42pm NikiA: Like many, this is the only song of his I knew. God I love this. Early April I asked about folk music shows on WFMU and I got roasted 😂 but this is that good gooood shit 🖤🖤
	4:42pm d: Why is it not pronounced "Bee's Wing" ?
	4:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @d: It could be.
	4:45pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @TOPT: Thanks pal. Truer words were never spoken. The light fantastic shall be tripped. Look out world & gangway.
	4:45pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, Tom, is it your bday again already? Happy bday, old pal! Kate and I are fully vaxxed and willing to stand you multiple drinks at the moment of your choosing. Happy days, friend!
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers dale.
	4:46pm Dungaroos Kipawah: @Handy: Sounds divine, I look forward to seeing your faces & sharing some laughs
	4:47pm medson: Is he referring to Led Zeppelin ripping off Willie Dixon etc ?
	4:47pm dale: have glass of wine now so cheers back rev rab.
	4:49pm Glistener MW: Great interview with the great RT — thanks Todd!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♉︎Taurean Solar Return Dungaroos ! : www.facebook.com...
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Both reflective - & forthcoming for (he must forgive me) - a Master.

	👻 4:59pm Hoboken Jack: Tremendous interview, thanks TOPT! He's a bit brighter than some of the rock interviews, isn't he? Haha.
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah wow - Thanks for that.
	4:59pm John Dalton: Thanks, Todd! That was a great interview!
	5:00pm LCBD: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
	5:00pm StuartR: Nice Q + A w/ our now fellow Garden St citizen!
	5:00pm Old Dave: Just Amazing
	5:00pm Ignore Function: Bravo, Todd!

	5:00pm steveo: Amen, HH
	5:01pm Mr C: Up where the air is rare, Tood -O meets Richard Thompson! Super dynamite man! And to think he traded Malibu for Montclair!

	👻 5:21pm Bruce S.: alot of influences hear and there in this set
	👻 5:23pm John L: Todd, I don't know how much you read about what to drink and eat after a second shot, but drinking something with electrolytes, as well as a lot of water, works. Suggested foods include brown rice, potatoes, salmon, various fresh whole foods. No spicy foods for a few days. I had my second shot on Weds and followed this. And some some exercise of the arm, too. Everyone reacts differently, I know, but the only after effects I had were a sore arm and minor fatigue.
	5:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: That is good advice John!
	5:24pm bob dublon: i seen Dennis Diken at Billys old Mill ..mostly a bar known for country in Milwaukee

	👻 5:32pm John L: Felt well enough today to get up at 6 am for my first visit to a record yard sale in a long time!!! Everyone was masked and I bought a bunch of great lps, not paying more than 3 bucks for any one:Hoodoo Gurus, The Move, Wizzard, Ben Vaughn, Bebop Deluxe, Willie Nile, Squeeze and more. There were pricier records that I had my eye on, but most of these titles hit that nostalgic sweet spot that has been growing since the pandemic hit.
	5:32pm Handy Haversack: SPOX!!
	5:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @John L: Nice!!!
	👻 5:33pm Joel: Please tell me they are doing a full album together !!

	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Tony, Tom & Handy!
	5:46pm Frank Zaatar: Actually, I was thinking of Emmett Rhodes. Maybe it's those intervals.
	5:46pm bob: yeah Dennis i believe it was 86..great show ...they very rarely had rock there even tho i do believe they also had the blasters there
	5:47pm Victrola Tom: @Handy: if you live in the area you’re welcome to join the Hoboken Poker Association! We’ll be starting back up in September after a year plus hiatus!
