	2:30pm Eric R: Gaylord, taking that bit of info (in your head all week) with the playing of No Go Showboat, I'm inclined to believe Dennis has a direct link into our brains.
	2:30pm gene sculatti: Dirty Angels' cut s one of the great lost ones. Thanks for playing, DD.

	2:43pm MOM WHIG: good to see you Hoboken
	2:43pm myron feld: Dennis: re The Timers "No Go Showboat" from Secondhandsongs: "Lead vocals by Gary Usher, Brian Wilson, and Chuck Girard. Chuck and Brian sang the high parts together, and Gary sang the lower range lead. Produced by Jimmy Bowen. Recorded at Capitol Studio A."
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: alright, Hoboken Jack!
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - "news we can use!" thanks!
	2:52pm HyperDose: Those warm distorted vocals omg <3
	2:59pm myron feld: "Take Time To Know Her" is just the saddest, most beautiful song ever give.
	3:00pm Hoboken Jack: How great is this Percy Sledge record??
	3:00pm myron feld: @Hoboken Jack: the very greatest. In every way.
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: @myron - when he sings "I said, son..." - man,, it always gets to me. @Hoboken Jack - RIGHT?!
	3:01pm MOM WHIG: Holding out for When A Man Loves A Woman
	3:02pm RandyPoe: When I compiled the "Muscle Shoals Sound" CD for Rhino back in the early '90s, I included "Take Time to Know Her" because it's always been my favorite Percy Sledge recording.
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @RandyPoe - welcome! no argument here! sorry, MOM WHIG - not on tap today! but much other stellar stash that deserves the spotlight!!
	3:04pm Mike Sin: Hey DD! Lots of “grace” in those grace notes!
	3:04pm MOM WHIG: Not a problem - your choices are all "GOLD" today
	3:05pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Mike

	3:05pm HyperDose: Nail on the head, Mom Whig. This show is hitting all the right notes!
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: Hyper - we are so lucky to have all these super tunes
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @Mike Sin - to be sure! @RandyPoe - alright, glad you're here! @MOM WHIG - thanks much!
	3:07pm MOM WHIG: I'm still sorting my 45's - I still have this James and Bobby Purify one
	3:08pm RandyPoe: Spooner Oldham told me that was him playing the glockenspiel with a metal bottle opener because they couldn't find the mallets.
	3:08pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Jack!!
	3:08pm MFlynn: Ah, damn meeting is finally over. So glad I made it, the rest I’ll have to catch on the archive. Thanks Dennis
	3:10pm Andrew in Toronto: Is Bobby the man or not?
	3:11pm Hoboken Jack: Mike Sin and MFlynn, that's fun to say!
	3:22pm MFlynn: Howdy Jack!

	3:31pm Eric R: 2...4...2...4. Solid backbeat
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: welcome MFlynn and Eric R!
	3:33pm myron feld: Somewhere in the Fame Studio Story booklet, there's a story about how a couple bass players couldn't nail the intro to Wilson's "Land of 1000 Dances" -- I think it was Tommy Cogbill who finally got it.
	3:34pm Eric R: what a wild array of instruments. Horn, harmonica, flute...
	3:34pm RandyPoe: I think Roger did some of his best work on those Staple Singers records. Chris Morris called Roger "the author of the greatest rimshot of all time, on the Staples' 'I'll Take You There'."
	3:37pm Woo: Look out good secretary Maria
	3:37pm HyperDose: Really dug that Wilson Pickett. I need to explore his catalog.
	3:38pm RandyPoe: "Take a Letter Maria" was the Swampers' first hit after they split from Fame and opened their own studio.
	3:42pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for your input Mr. Poe.
	3:44pm RandyPoe: Terry of Terry & the Chain Reaction was Terry Woodford. He would later open Wishbone Studios in Muscle Shoals. (Sorry. Can't help myself. All of this Muscle Shoals trivia in my head needs an outlet.)
	3:45pm Eric R: Beatles song! Just kidding. I was thinking earlier, when Etta James' version of Security was playing, how many songs I became aware of through British groups and how it led back to the originals.
	3:45pm RandyPoe: "A Shot of Rhythm & Blues" was written by Terry Thompson, the very first lead guitarist at Fame Studios.
	3:45pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I’ve never heard this groovy version before!
	3:48pm Dennis Diken: @RandyPoe - agreed re rimshot! and yeah, it's great that the Swampers split from FAME and had big success in short order! great lore, keep it coming!
	3:48pm MOM WHIG: Many thanks Denny for today's super super cool show--one hit after another...really good memories!
	3:48pm MOM WHIG: Hey GGGG
	3:49pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hi MW
	3:50pm MOM WHIG: I'm fading here - time for a cat nap
	3:51pm Dennis Diken: hey Glynis - yeah, great version, heh? thanks MOM WHIG - hang out for another 10 mins!
	3:52pm MOM WHIG: Ill make it
	3:53pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great afternoon!!
	3:53pm RandyPoe: "I Can't Stop" was written by Dan Penn & Roger Hawkins! Roger didn't write many songs, but this is a great one.
	3:53pm HyperDose: Thanks for another legendary 2hrs in the Den, Dennis!
	3:54pm myron feld: It's gonna be tough to top this show, Dennis, but I know you will!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @HyperDose, @myron - thanks! you too, Andrew in Toronto! @RandyPoe - yeah, nice to know Roger wrote (and produced) some sides
