	3:18pm Brian in UK: Hello Todd & listeners. I used to work with a fella called Tony Conway. He had a band called Mood Six. One day at work he came in with a version of his song 'Hangin' Around' by Toni Basil. The wonder of hearing a song given full production values was an ear opener. It was the B side over here but not in the USA. Still sounds good.
	3:18pm Creature Boy: Dave Davies talks about going on Shindig only to come across his FAVORITE guitarist & hero James Burton in the house band
	3:19pm medson: The TOPT theme song gets em screaming like the T.A.M.I show
	3:19pm efd: ↳ Brian in UK @3:18 I loved Mood Six and played "Hangin' Around" on my college radio show all the time (among other songs of theirs) as well as here on WFMU from time to time. I was floored when I found out Toni Basil covered that song!
	3:20pm Chili MacPagoda: I remember Thee Barbarians Hey Little Bird from you spinning it on Yesterday’s Numbers. Think that show needs to make a comeback.
	3:21pm Cooh John: 🙋DjLorraine. Psyched for today's show.

	3:24pm Brian in UK: ↳ efd @3:19 efd Yeah, Tony was floored too to hear his song done so well. Seeing Mood Six live then hearing something more than a demo was great.
