Listener comments!
	♥ 1:58pm Dennis Diken: "HEY - IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! HA HA! HOPE 'YON DENIZENS OF THE DEN' DIG THE SHOW I THREW TOGETHER FOR TODAY! SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"
	2:01pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Dennis and all other Denizens!
	2:01pm Patti K: Hey Dennis and everyone! Trying to stay cool - AC is kicking and now so are the tunes.
	2:01pm Mike Conroy: New show bonus!
	2:05pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, it's Bastille Day. Let 'em eat cake! Off with their heads!
	2:05pm Reechie: Great to have a new show on a beautiful afternoon! Hello Dennis & everyone!
	♥ 2:06pm Woo: This morning I heard Our Day Will Come on ME-TV FM. It's a Ruby and the Romantics day!
	2:06pm Reechie: Oooh! Juiie London!
	2:09pm Gerry from Miami: Ruby and the Romantics were the first hot group to come out of Akron, Ohio. Take that, Chrissie!
	2:12pm Gerry from Miami: Julie London wasn't technically a great singer, but she could put her emotion on the line. This cover of Spanky and Our Gang is a prime example.
	2:12pm Baby: WPAPIPOBP!
	2:13pm Reechie: Everybody thinks Julie London's "Yummy Yummy Yummy" was a mistake, but every time I hear it, I think it just flat out works!
	2:14pm MOM WHIG: Hey all, Denny, Andrew, Mike C, Reechie, Woo, Gerry, Baby
	♥ 2:14pm Matt Clarke: Hi Denny! Hi all!
	2:14pm Angie Beach Baby: Hi Dennis!!
	2:15pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there MOM WHIG!
	♥ 2:16pm Woo: Hey MOM WHIG. The Association is on the Happy Together tour this year. The Turtles are still missing Howard Kaylan, which I find a bit of a fraud. Ron Dante is great but he's not a Turtle.
	2:16pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you Matt
	♥ 2:17pm Dennis Diken: hello MOM WHIG & Angie Beach Baby! you too, Matt Clarke!
	2:17pm MOM WHIG: Hi Patti
	♥ 2:17pm Matt Clarke: It's a treat to stop by the Beach House den, Denny
	2:18pm MOM WHIG: Hi Angie BB
	♥ 2:18pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Dennis!! Just when you thought you were out... they pull you back in!!! Hi Mom Whig, Andrew, MVP Matt, all!
	2:18pm Gerry from Miami: But, WOO, who is "representing" the Association? They had quite a few different members over the years.
	2:18pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - we are still feeling the heat today here.
	♥ 2:18pm Matt Clarke: @Woo: The Association is Jules and Jim still? They were very good when I saw them in 2018.
	2:18pm Patti K: Hi Mom!
	♥ 2:18pm Dan from Peekskill: Greetings on this beautiful day, Dennis. Keep the music coming.
	2:19pm MOM WHIG: Hoboken J is in the house
	2:19pm MOM WHIG: Hey Dan
	♥ 2:19pm Andrew in Toronto: Howdy there Jack!
	♥ 2:19pm Matt Clarke: Greetings Jack!
	♥ 2:19pm James in ATL: Aloha, Dennis! Great to have a live show today. Thank you!
	2:20pm davefromtoronto: he's got more reverb than mike sinn!
	2:20pm MOM WHIG: Hey James
	♥ 2:21pm Dennis Diken: welcome Andrew in Toronto, Patti K, Mike Conroy, Gerry from Miami, Reechie, Woo, Baby!
	2:22pm Gerry from Miami: Brian is forever! But maybe tone down the reverb a bit! LOL!
	2:22pm MOM WHIG: Dave from Toronto - do you know Andrew from Toronto??
	♥ 2:22pm Woo: Gerry, it's hard to figure out The Association line-up. At least Mark Lindsay is Mark Lindsay. Buyer beware.
	2:23pm davefromtoronto: yes we go way back to michael shelley's show.
	♥ 2:24pm Dennis Diken: alright Hoboken Jack, Dan from Peekskill, James in ATL, davefromtoronto!
	♥ 2:25pm Matt Clarke: Looks like the Association line-up is currently Jim and Jules plus Jordan (Brian's son) and Del (Larry's brother) Del and Jordan have been in the touring group for years
	2:25pm MOM WHIG: Today is Bastille Day!
	2:26pm Eric R: Dennis, I'm still working through the Ringo special 'cause I missed the first hour and a quarter. I've got 13 minutes left, I think.
	2:26pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you Eric!
	2:26pm Eric R: hi Mom! How's the heat?
	2:27pm davefromtoronto: imagine growing up with jerry lewis for a father? good lord...
	♥ 2:27pm Matt Clarke: @Eric R: The 1978 special?
	2:27pm Eric R: this sounds like Hall of Famer TJ
	2:27pm MOM WHIG: Eric - brutal - only 95 today - not like you all had there though!
	2:27pm Eric R: Matt, last week's Denny's Den
	2:28pm Mike Conroy: Glad I am in ATL where it is cooler than back home in the DMV.
	♥ 2:28pm Matt Clarke: @Eric R: Ahh!!! Was curious if you were tackling the '78 Ringo special
	2:28pm MOM WHIG: Hi Mike C
	♥ 2:28pm Matt Clarke: Oh yeah! Great Archies track
	2:29pm Eric R: Matt, I'll go look for that later. Thanks for the heads up!
	2:29pm LesleyK: Hey Dennis and Denizens!
	2:30pm Eric R: "Gee Starch, how'd ya get those criss-crosses on your head?" asks Bottleneck.
	♥ 2:30pm Dennis Diken: thanks for tuning in on the archive, Eric R! @davefromtoronto - um, no?! welcome LesleyK!
	♥ 2:30pm Matt Clarke: Hey-o LesleyK!
	2:31pm LesleyK: Hey Matt!
	2:31pm Eric R: the guitar playing reminds me of Wild Weekend.
	♥ 2:32pm Dennis Diken: @EricR - I can see...er, hear that!
	♥ 2:32pm Matt Clarke: Look at those hep hippies filling in for the Archies. Guess they were dog sitting for Hot Dog?
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: Todd-a-Phonic Todd recently had a three-hour special/interview with Tommy James on his Saturday show. Excellent. And the new box set is awesomely complete!
	♥ 2:35pm Matt Clarke: I second that emotion, Gerry
	2:35pm Eric R: Gerry, that's exciting! I missed that TJ show. Another one I need to go find.
	2:36pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - do you have the link to that show of Todd's?
	2:36pm MOM WHIG: Hey Lesley
	♥ 2:37pm Matt Clarke: Tommy James show link www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:37pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - yeah, weird alternate Archies graphics, huh? @Gerry from Miami and Eric R - fabulous interview with Tommy, indeed! @ MOM WHIG - you can find it on Todd's archives
	2:37pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Matt
	2:37pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, no, I don't. But it was in June. Check the archives.
	2:37pm Eric R: you beat me to it, Matt. I found it!
	2:38pm LesleyK: Hi Mom Whig! Nice to see ya
	2:38pm LesleyK: Yeah that Tommy James interview was good.
	2:39pm Eric R: Lesley, that's good enough for me. On my schedule for later today.
	♥ 2:39pm Matt Clarke: Great summer sounds, Denny
	♥ 2:40pm Dennis Diken: Tommy James is a class act! @Matt Clarke - thanks, bud!
	♥ 2:40pm Matt Clarke: @Denny: Cool info about the Beach Boys track! Never knew that
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: MOM WHIG, my memory is failing big time! Can't believe that Tommy James show was in March!
	2:41pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - Matt got it for me - but thanks
	2:42pm Eric R: Gerry, the last 16 months or so all blur together.
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: Gerry --Tommy James show link www.wfmu.org...
	2:43pm LesleyK: One of my fav Undertones songs
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, MOM! You're a doll!
	♥ 2:43pm Matt Clarke: @LesleyK: Me too. Top track
	♥ 2:44pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK, Matt Clarke - The Queers do it justice, methinks?
	♥ 2:44pm Matt Clarke: I think they did, Denny!
	2:44pm LesleyK: Yeah I liked the cover. Never heard their cover of that before.
	2:47pm Gerry from Miami: Technically, Lesley Gore was from the New York City "area." She was a proud daughter of beuautiful Tenafly, New Jersey. RIP, Lesley.
	♥ 2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - close enuff, yeah?
	2:48pm Reechie: Hey, if you've got sticky walls, everything works! ;)
	♥ 2:50pm myron feld: got here late (this "work" thing keeps getting in the way) and very disappointed to report the TuneIn app is playing the regular Rock'N'Soul Stream, not the Den. Bum-MER.
	2:51pm Eric R: I was a kid when Lesley Gore became famous. I lived in Englewood, a couple of blocks from Tenafly. As a kid I imagined she must have been maybe not two blocks away...probably three.
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: myron - glad you made it here
	♥ 2:51pm Dennis Diken: @Reechie - ha!
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Eric - Wow - that it great, imagine that!
	♥ 2:53pm myron feld: Hi, Mom! I'm singing along with the playlist since I can't hear it.
	2:54pm Eric R: myron, since you're here, can't you just hit pop-up?
	♥ 2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks for pointing our the Akron Ruby & Romantics connection earlier. they, in my book, are godlike! I know young Gaylord would concur!!
	♥ 2:55pm Matt Clarke: @myron: Thanks for info. I'll send an email letting the landlords know.
	2:56pm Eric R: my Dad was a big Jelly Roll Morton fan and had those albums full of 78s. You know the kind, where each record was two sided like a single but there were 6 or 8 slots for 6 or 8 records.
	2:56pm Melanie Thiel: Hi Dennis, listening at work! See you soon. Mel
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: hey myron! just had a drop out on the WFMU pop up, restarted it and it came back.
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: hi Mel! welcome!
	3:00pm DA the DJ: Hi Dennis!
	♥ 3:01pm Dennis Diken: DA! TAST!
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Good to have you here DA the DJ
	♥ 3:04pm Hoboken Jack: hi Dave! I'm out of the basement
	♥ 3:04pm Matt Clarke: Hey there DA!
	♥ 3:06pm Matt Clarke: Great Maxine track!
	3:08pm Michael Shelley: Hey Double D! Was just cutting the grass & listening in my new ear buds! Am now drinking a seltzer. That is all!
	3:09pm Michael Mitsch: Hello Mel, Dennis, All Digging all this great soul!
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: Awesome song - You Must Believe Me
	3:09pm Michael Shelley: Covay drums = Purdy (I think)
	♥ 3:09pm Matt Clarke: Top set, Denny
	3:10pm MOM WHIG: More Michael's coming here --Hey
	♥ 3:10pm Dennis Diken: hey Mikey - news we can use! so, this Friends of Distinction song goes out to you! @Matt Clarke - no argument here re the Maxine track! and THANKS!
	3:10pm DA the DJ: @Hoboken Jack - The basement's too musty these days.
	3:11pm DA the DJ: Hi MOM WHIG / Matt.
	3:11pm Listener Baby: This snare has the perfect amount of "sock" Plus the whole tracks kicks ass. Hard.
	♥ 3:12pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - that's the great Jim Gordon! happy birthday to him!!
	♥ 3:15pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - methinks you are correct re Purdy/Covay
	3:15pm Listener Baby: Wow. Really? I never would have guessed. JG leaning into it for sure. Props!
	3:15pm Michael Shelley: HEY BABY!
	3:17pm Dan Markell: Hey! Thanks for the spin!
	♥ 3:17pm Dennis Diken: @Baby - indeed, JG is one of the best drummers of all time!
	♥ 3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Dan Markell - indeed - glad you're here!
	3:18pm Michael Shelley: DD- agree - and early on he played on all kinds of sessions
	3:18pm Dan Markell: Yeah, Nice place to be!
	3:20pm Listener Baby: It occurs to me that the commercial jingle you place a few minutes ago, must have running through a certain Ex-Presidents head when he got elected. No?
	3:21pm Gerry from Miami: I often couldn't tell the Friends of Distinction from the Fifth Dimension. Both cut quite a groove. I'll never be able to forget the Friends' "Going in Circles" because it was the song playing in the first strip club I ever stepped into with my friends on Christmas Eve (!) in 1969. We had just come frim seeing the James Bond film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Sacrilege, I know, but that's what memories are made of sometimes.
	3:22pm Listener Baby: Hey Baby!! Sad around here today. DD is sure helping, but our amazing, loving brother of a cat died last night. Worst night ever. So bummed.
	♥ 3:22pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: A Christmas to remember!
	3:24pm MOM WHIG: Listener Baby - my heart goes out to you. I've had many many cats pass, never gets any easier.
	♥ 3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - good one re that jingle! and sincere condolences
	♥ 3:26pm Matt Clarke: Condolences, Listener Baby
	3:27pm Michael Shelley: I'm sure I saw this band w/ you Baby!
	3:27pm Patti K: My condolences to you Listener Baby
	♥ 3:28pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - they were on the bill the night you and I met, no?
	3:28pm Listener Baby: Thanks you two. Ps on Jim Gordon. I guess I've always thrown good old Jim Gordon in the "solid and steady" category. Russ Kunkle like. Not an ass kicker like on the previous track.
	3:29pm Listener Baby: Played with them many times. This is their best tune. IMHO.
	♥ 3:30pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - that's JG on "What Is Life" and "Fire" on SMiLE
	3:30pm Listener Baby: Thanks Patti and Matt too. Tough day. He ruled the world around here. Very unexpected too.
	3:30pm Michael Mitsch: Illes!!!! Illes!!!
	3:30pm Listener Baby: And Mom W too.
	3:30pm Reechie: It's like those Hungarians have a different word for EVERYTHING! ;)
	3:31pm LesleyK: I'm so sorry to hear about your cat Listener Baby
	3:31pm Michael Mitsch: Yes Reechie ;)
	♥ 3:31pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Mitsch - Illes goes out to you!
	3:32pm Michael Mitsch: THANK YOU DD!! I'm enjoying some of the newer stuff too. Heyman had great soul and Ed Rodger song was very pretty
	3:33pm Listener Baby: Point taken. But that FOD is on another energy level, me things. That's Tommy Ardolino ass kicking right there.
	3:34pm Michael Shelley: Saw Holly @ Raji's w/ Baby too.
	3:35pm Michael Shelley: Every guy there was smitten.
	3:35pm Gerry from Miami: Holly and the Italians were often heard on Rodney Bingenheimer's "Rodney on the ROQ" show Sunday nights in LA during the 80s.
	3:38pm Reechie: Wishing Listener Baby peace and condolences.
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: June sounds similarly to Doris Day
	3:44pm davefromtoronto: great show DD - thanks!
	3:44pm MOM WHIG: Denny Thanks for this one - The endless Summer Theme - got the LP on my wall here
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Denny - I got it on the first note!! Saw that movie at least 5 times when it came out.
	3:45pm davefromtoronto: murry wilson had many moods - but most of them were bad.
	♥ 3:46pm Dennis Diken: that's cool MOM WHIG - I love it too!!
	3:47pm Mike Conroy: Saw Endless Summer in class in 8th grade in San Diego.
	3:47pm MOM WHIG: Mike - glad you saw it too!
	♥ 3:48pm Brian C.: So funny, was thinking syncopated too
	♥ 3:49pm Dennis Diken: hey Brian C!

	2:18pm Gerry from Miami: But, WOO, who is "representing" the Association? They had quite a few different members over the years.
	2:18pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - we are still feeling the heat today here.

	♥ 2:22pm Woo: Gerry, it's hard to figure out The Association line-up. At least Mark Lindsay is Mark Lindsay. Buyer beware.

	2:27pm Eric R: this sounds like Hall of Famer TJ
	2:27pm MOM WHIG: Eric - brutal - only 95 today - not like you all had there though!
	2:27pm Eric R: Matt, last week's Denny's Den
	2:28pm Mike Conroy: Glad I am in ATL where it is cooler than back home in the DMV.
	♥ 2:28pm Matt Clarke: @Eric R: Ahh!!! Was curious if you were tackling the '78 Ringo special

	♥ 2:30pm Matt Clarke: Hey-o LesleyK!
	2:31pm LesleyK: Hey Matt!
	2:31pm Eric R: the guitar playing reminds me of Wild Weekend.
	♥ 2:32pm Dennis Diken: @EricR - I can see...er, hear that!
	♥ 2:32pm Matt Clarke: Look at those hep hippies filling in for the Archies. Guess they were dog sitting for Hot Dog?
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: Todd-a-Phonic Todd recently had a three-hour special/interview with Tommy James on his Saturday show. Excellent. And the new box set is awesomely complete!
	♥ 2:35pm Matt Clarke: I second that emotion, Gerry
	2:35pm Eric R: Gerry, that's exciting! I missed that TJ show. Another one I need to go find.
	2:36pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - do you have the link to that show of Todd's?
	2:36pm MOM WHIG: Hey Lesley
	♥ 2:37pm Matt Clarke: Tommy James show link www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:37pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - yeah, weird alternate Archies graphics, huh? @Gerry from Miami and Eric R - fabulous interview with Tommy, indeed! @ MOM WHIG - you can find it on Todd's archives
	2:37pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Matt
	2:37pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, no, I don't. But it was in June. Check the archives.
	2:37pm Eric R: you beat me to it, Matt. I found it!
	2:38pm LesleyK: Hi Mom Whig! Nice to see ya
	2:38pm LesleyK: Yeah that Tommy James interview was good.

	♥ 2:40pm Matt Clarke: @Denny: Cool info about the Beach Boys track! Never knew that
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: MOM WHIG, my memory is failing big time! Can't believe that Tommy James show was in March!
	2:41pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - Matt got it for me - but thanks
	2:42pm Eric R: Gerry, the last 16 months or so all blur together.
	2:42pm MOM WHIG: Gerry --Tommy James show link www.wfmu.org...
	2:43pm LesleyK: One of my fav Undertones songs
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, MOM! You're a doll!
	♥ 2:43pm Matt Clarke: @LesleyK: Me too. Top track
	♥ 2:44pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK, Matt Clarke - The Queers do it justice, methinks?
	♥ 2:44pm Matt Clarke: I think they did, Denny!
	2:44pm LesleyK: Yeah I liked the cover. Never heard their cover of that before.
	2:47pm Gerry from Miami: Technically, Lesley Gore was from the New York City "area." She was a proud daughter of beuautiful Tenafly, New Jersey. RIP, Lesley.
	♥ 2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - close enuff, yeah?
	2:48pm Reechie: Hey, if you've got sticky walls, everything works! ;)
	♥ 2:50pm myron feld: got here late (this "work" thing keeps getting in the way) and very disappointed to report the TuneIn app is playing the regular Rock'N'Soul Stream, not the Den. Bum-MER.
	2:51pm Eric R: I was a kid when Lesley Gore became famous. I lived in Englewood, a couple of blocks from Tenafly. As a kid I imagined she must have been maybe not two blocks away...probably three.
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: myron - glad you made it here
	♥ 2:51pm Dennis Diken: @Reechie - ha!
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Eric - Wow - that it great, imagine that!
	♥ 2:53pm myron feld: Hi, Mom! I'm singing along with the playlist since I can't hear it.
	2:54pm Eric R: myron, since you're here, can't you just hit pop-up?
	♥ 2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks for pointing our the Akron Ruby & Romantics connection earlier. they, in my book, are godlike! I know young Gaylord would concur!!
	♥ 2:55pm Matt Clarke: @myron: Thanks for info. I'll send an email letting the landlords know.
	2:56pm Eric R: my Dad was a big Jelly Roll Morton fan and had those albums full of 78s. You know the kind, where each record was two sided like a single but there were 6 or 8 slots for 6 or 8 records.
	2:56pm Melanie Thiel: Hi Dennis, listening at work! See you soon. Mel
	♥ 2:57pm Dennis Diken: hey myron! just had a drop out on the WFMU pop up, restarted it and it came back.

	3:09pm Michael Mitsch: Hello Mel, Dennis, All Digging all this great soul!
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: Awesome song - You Must Believe Me
	3:09pm Michael Shelley: Covay drums = Purdy (I think)

	3:10pm DA the DJ: @Hoboken Jack - The basement's too musty these days.
	3:11pm DA the DJ: Hi MOM WHIG / Matt.
	3:11pm Listener Baby: This snare has the perfect amount of "sock" Plus the whole tracks kicks ass. Hard.
	♥ 3:12pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - that's the great Jim Gordon! happy birthday to him!!
	♥ 3:15pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - methinks you are correct re Purdy/Covay
	3:15pm Listener Baby: Wow. Really? I never would have guessed. JG leaning into it for sure. Props!
	3:15pm Michael Shelley: HEY BABY!
	3:17pm Dan Markell: Hey! Thanks for the spin!
	♥ 3:17pm Dennis Diken: @Baby - indeed, JG is one of the best drummers of all time!
	♥ 3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Dan Markell - indeed - glad you're here!
	3:18pm Michael Shelley: DD- agree - and early on he played on all kinds of sessions
	3:18pm Dan Markell: Yeah, Nice place to be!
	3:20pm Listener Baby: It occurs to me that the commercial jingle you place a few minutes ago, must have running through a certain Ex-Presidents head when he got elected. No?
	3:21pm Gerry from Miami: I often couldn't tell the Friends of Distinction from the Fifth Dimension. Both cut quite a groove. I'll never be able to forget the Friends' "Going in Circles" because it was the song playing in the first strip club I ever stepped into with my friends on Christmas Eve (!) in 1969. We had just come frim seeing the James Bond film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Sacrilege, I know, but that's what memories are made of sometimes.
	3:22pm Listener Baby: Hey Baby!! Sad around here today. DD is sure helping, but our amazing, loving brother of a cat died last night. Worst night ever. So bummed.
	♥ 3:22pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: A Christmas to remember!
	3:24pm MOM WHIG: Listener Baby - my heart goes out to you. I've had many many cats pass, never gets any easier.
	♥ 3:26pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - good one re that jingle! and sincere condolences
	♥ 3:26pm Matt Clarke: Condolences, Listener Baby
	3:27pm Michael Shelley: I'm sure I saw this band w/ you Baby!
	3:27pm Patti K: My condolences to you Listener Baby
	♥ 3:28pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - they were on the bill the night you and I met, no?
	3:28pm Listener Baby: Thanks you two. Ps on Jim Gordon. I guess I've always thrown good old Jim Gordon in the "solid and steady" category. Russ Kunkle like. Not an ass kicker like on the previous track.
	3:29pm Listener Baby: Played with them many times. This is their best tune. IMHO.
	♥ 3:30pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - that's JG on "What Is Life" and "Fire" on SMiLE
	3:30pm Listener Baby: Thanks Patti and Matt too. Tough day. He ruled the world around here. Very unexpected too.
	3:30pm Michael Mitsch: Illes!!!! Illes!!!
	3:30pm Listener Baby: And Mom W too.
	3:30pm Reechie: It's like those Hungarians have a different word for EVERYTHING! ;)
	3:31pm LesleyK: I'm so sorry to hear about your cat Listener Baby
	3:31pm Michael Mitsch: Yes Reechie ;)
	♥ 3:31pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Mitsch - Illes goes out to you!
	3:32pm Michael Mitsch: THANK YOU DD!! I'm enjoying some of the newer stuff too. Heyman had great soul and Ed Rodger song was very pretty
	3:33pm Listener Baby: Point taken. But that FOD is on another energy level, me things. That's Tommy Ardolino ass kicking right there.
	3:34pm Michael Shelley: Saw Holly @ Raji's w/ Baby too.
	3:35pm Michael Shelley: Every guy there was smitten.
	3:35pm Gerry from Miami: Holly and the Italians were often heard on Rodney Bingenheimer's "Rodney on the ROQ" show Sunday nights in LA during the 80s.
	3:38pm Reechie: Wishing Listener Baby peace and condolences.
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: June sounds similarly to Doris Day
