	11:15am Rick A: Good Morning Michael and All, Scott's death is really sad. I always enjoyed his segments on your show and the banter between the two of you. You would always end by saying, "We only have a few seconds left...any last comments, Scott." He's always remembered at WFMU and in his writings.

	11:16am John in Parsippany: Michael, you certainly seem like a very smart guy to me. Cheers!

	11:20am Squints: As Turntable One laughs and laughs.
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: Lol
	11:21am clarke: Turntable #1 has representation - thus he is not prehensible.
	11:22am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:20 hey it's saturday. right??? istn't it??

	11:24am clarke: no Handy - not a good sign. hope thangs're okay.
	11:24am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:23 i've never seen them, but it is a bucket list for moi.
	11:24am Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:23 Where's that Frank?
	11:25am Frank In Queens: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:24 Heaven Can Wait (the old Brownies/Hi-Fi)
	11:25am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:24 that's as good of a eulogy for Scott that there could be!!!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:25 shitty club name, but glad there's something in that space! and they have the smarts to book BK.
	11:26am listener phat in Lincoln: My condolences to all who knew Scott.
	11:26am paul: New Orleans was a major railroad hub.
	11:27am clarke: ↳ paul @11:26 uh, still is!
	11:27am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:26 You can thank Todd for that. I'm ONLY going there because of Bambi Kino. I won't say anymore out of respect for the condition of one of the owners.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:27 mkayyy.
	11:28am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:27 perhaps heaven cannot wait.
	11:29am Squints: ↳ Song: "Tracy (All I Have Is Yours)" by "Barry White And ... But if you HAVE a copy, why would you let it go?
	11:29am clarke: bindle!!! ha ha. nice!!
	11:30am drr: Dancing Queen? Steal the drummer.
	11:31am clarke: mornin' david!!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:28 Well, fortunately it's not life-threatening, but not something I would wish on anyone (well, most people) either.
	11:31am clarke: nuff said!
	11:32am morphe': Fathers Day Aftershave .. when I was 11-12 .. I tried to shoplift a box set of English Leather After Shave and Cologne for my father on Fathers' Day from Century 21 in Bklyn... got caught and they called the house and he came into the back room gave me a right hook and knocked me down = Happy Fathers' Day
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 i am not meaning this as a jibe, i haven't done the research - what's up with the mets? owner troubles?
	11:34am Joey!: Happy Father's Day everyone!!! Great show Mike!
	11:34am G: ↳ clarke @11:32 They threw a ton of money as guys on the downslope?
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ morphe' @11:32 Now that's a Father's Day story to cherish. I actually have a good association with dads and after-shave. I'd watch my dad shave and when he was done he'd slap a little 4711 on my cheeks. He wasn't very affectionate, so this was like a kiss.
	11:34am G: *on guys...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ G @11:34 but, what is he threatening to do?
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 good thing it wasn't Hai Karate!! you'd have to fight off the ladies!!
	11:37am G: Not sure what the Mets plan is now. The rap on Buck, from when he was in Baltimore and before, is players like him, but somehow he can't quite get a team over the top himself.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ G @11:37 we'll take buck back at balti!!!
	11:39am evancuts: I first met Scott at a bbq at your house. He was a real cirmugden (sp?) and we actually got in a pretty heated argument just a few minutes after you introduced me to him. But I could sense right away that he was an interesting guy and turned out to really like him. And I really enjoyed your minute together with him on the air every week. RIP.
	11:39am G: Opinion is very divided about that among Orioles fans. Some love him, and some say he can't get you to the promised land. The rap is he can take a junk team and make them a contender (Yanks, Dbacks, Os), but he can't get them to the WS.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:32 Ownership is very committed, although perhaps a bit too much. It's the players. There's no way that roster should be playing this badly. At least Alvarez has been playing well.
	11:40am clarke: that could be said of 19 managers, a year.
	11:40am jmd: Lovely remembrance, Michael. Nice.
	11:40am PatrickMC: I don't remember SS but your tribute, Michael, makes me wish I did. RIP.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Nice eulogy. Mavens are still a valuable commodity in this world.
	11:42am clarke: oh man, this is nice, thanks!!
	11:43am CalZone!: This tribute is perfect Michael! Thanks. He will def be missed!
	11:44am clarke: that's true - that New Cars album is GREAT!! STILL!!
	11:44am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "SCOTT SCHINDER" by "A Minute With" Loving this. Hate that I didn't experience these moments as they happened. Next best thing. Thanks.
	11:44am Chris Hiatt: Hi, tuning in from Brooklyn.
	11:45am Matt Fiveash: My condolences on the loss of your friend, Michael- you were the first person I thought of when I heard the very sad news.
	11:45am Listener Baby: This is lovely, Baby
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Were you sick for this installment?
	11:46am Don & Tracy: Thanks for the remembrance
	11:46am clarke: love the way jupe says "sender" - he was a Solid Sender!!
	11:47am drr: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Frank beat me to it.
	11:47am drr: This is what I remember--how he skips the pleasantries.
	11:47am Kelly Jones: Hi Michael, Sorry to hear about Scott, and losing your friend. Thanks for sharing him and your friendship with him with us.
	11:50am egould: RIP Scott Shinder.
	11:50am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Keep It To Yourself" by "Amy Rigby" One of my favorite Amy Rigby songs! Anybody else going to see her at City Winery on Monday?
	11:51am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:50 i wish!!
	11:51am tonyb: “ …we’re out of time.” : (
	11:51am G: ↳ drr @11:47 He only had a minute haha
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Loved those minutes with Scott, Michael. The essence of comes across, and likes so many who frequent this board, he seems like the kind of guy I could sit and talk about music with all day.
	11:52am rx scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go fill my day with other things.
	11:53am Dave the Spazz: So tragic. Scott was a very funny guy and a genuinely good person. Well spoken eulogy, Michael. This was a tough one.
	11:53am Gaylord Fields: Thanks for playing an audio document of the one and only time that Scott said I was right rather than "Well, actually…" I know you'll miss him as much as I will. It's a diminished world indeed.
	11:53am mike east: I’m am grateful that I lived through and was tuned into the era of “a minute with Scott shinder”….thank you, Michael for bringing it to us.
	11:53am drr: ↳ G @11:51 that's right!
	11:53am morphe': "Keep It To Yourself" by Amy Rigby "... I hear they're pouring concrete out on Hwy #3 ..." the benefits of celibecy [sp?]
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:53 well.. actually...
	11:55am Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @11:54 Now I feel complete. Thanks, pal!
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:55 sorry for the loss of your pal, man!!
	11:56am Tim from LH: Nice and funny tribute to Scott, hearing all those clips back to back. Scott was so knowledgeable about everything, he even corrected Michael’s pronunciation of Lake Hopatcong after my pledge to the show and knew where it was and a bit about the lake.
	11:56am Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @11:56 I appreciate it.
	11:57am DG: Thanks for those clips, it was great to hear SS again (after I discovered him on your show). I wonder if our paths crossed at any NY-area shows over the years....
	11:58am Montmaster J: I think the beer pouring incident was me...I just can't remember who poured on whom.
	11:59am DG: Back in high school, a fellow music fan lent me a copy of "Good Clean Fun," a weird KIm F. album, with songs, phony phone calls, etc. I also remember an early Warren Zevon song, "I'm Not Young Anymore," which I don't think Warren ever recorded. And yes, Kim's, um, legacy is a bit more complicated than Scott's. Always found him kinda creepy in interviews.
	12:00pm frenchee: Touching tribute! And Amy R’s song had me laughing and crying. Thanks, Michael. Gaylord was right (once)!
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Me" by "Kim Fowley" This is 90s college radio lo-fi
	12:01pm Hugh: Sorry to hear about Scott S. I enjoyed the minutes and he'll be missed.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @11:58 then you must've been the pourER!!
	12:01pm drr: I didn't know Scott but I feel like I heard some of those clips the first time around. They really take me back to a very different time when I was living in NYC (somewhat involuntarily, post-Katrina). I liked y'all's schtick of "we're both wasting each other's time" (like "Not interested!", etc.) but it does seem like he really came on to talk up the good stuff.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:01 like lewis and martin!!
	12:03pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Thanks for sharing your tribute Michael. After years of reading his pieces, I was delighted to meet him at one of the Stomps. He seemed to be one of the few ppl that consistently wrote abt NRBQ, so I kept track of his byline & sought his pieces out. Anyway, a good conversation, wish I’d gotten to know him better.
	12:03pm Rhae: Thank you for sharing some of Scott's minutes. It was so sweet, and sad, to hear his voice again. And it captured him so well, he was hilarious, even if you couldn't figure out if he hated you or loved you in his snarky comebacks. I only met Scott just before he fell ill, so only knew him these last 9 years or so. I knew so little about his actual work or life, but we spent a lot of time together as I drove him to medical appointments. As I posted on his FB, every time I picked him up he had a pocketful of old cassettes in his pocket, and sometimes I thought he really only accepted my help because I was the one person he knew that still had a cassette deck in a car. He was always thrilled to get to listen to stuff he hadn't been able to in years, as we drove to doctors and hospitals and sometimes stopped for pizza. He was gruff and lovable and I miss him so much already.
	12:05pm clarke: nice stories!!
	12:05pm clarke: my eyes don't see so good!!
	12:05pm PaulRobeson1923: U got this babe
	12:06pm Mister Dobalina: Do you need an appointment, Mr. Rosenberg?
	12:07pm clarke: they's goin' crazy!!
	12:09pm morphe': The clips were an audio flashback ... the way a fragerance [sp?] or specific smell brings a memory
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: Ok honey baby.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "To Whom It Concerns" by "Keith" The story goes that John Lennon complimented Keith's "98.6" while they were peeing at adjacent urinals at the Whiskey.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ Song: "To Whom It Concerns" by "Keith" Horns. Proto-Candida? Was Tony Orlando taking notes?
	12:14pm clarke: missouri
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: Springfield, Missouri. They used to play here pretty regularly.
	12:14pm Squints: Nah. Ya gotta wait until you get that second wind in the afternoon before you tee 'em up again.
	12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: And, I do believe we got drunk together on a couple occasions.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:15 good people!~
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yep. I'd love to see them or the Skeletons again.
	12:17pm clarke: me, too!
	12:17pm morphe': Some Scott Schinder writings: https://pleasekillme.com/author/sschinder/
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:17 Wait, did we ever talk about The Bel Airs?
	12:18pm Montmaster J: ↳ clarke @12:01 Maybe...I loved talking to and arguing with Scott...RIP
	12:18pm clarke: we DID!!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @12:18 my logic: i would certainly remember if i got doused
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 Couldn't remember. I probably should have seen them last week. Ah well, they'll be back in a couple weeks.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:20 wow - what a treat!!
	12:21pm Listener John from NJ: Hello all!
	12:21pm clarke: i think it is a ridiculously BAD song - but so bad it is good.
	12:21pm Moammar: Please, god, no Little River Band. No "Reminiscing." I am begging you.
	12:21pm Rex P: CUP OF TEA!! 🍵 ❤️ KEEP THE STATION
	12:21pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Hair Of The Dog" by "Morells, The" Lou Whitney RIP. In an early, very weird, shakey version of Philadelpia's Stickmen, I opened for "The Symptoms," an precursor of the Morells/Skeletons with Lou and D. Clinton Thompson. They were already ace players, yet Lou was nothing but delightfully encouraging.
	12:21pm burpage: Music is my cup of tea
	12:22pm Moammar: We invented punk rock to rid ourselves of this sort of thing.
	12:22pm CalZone!: Thar LRB song makes me queasy... not pleasy.
	12:22pm Squints: That song?Coin flip. Depends. My tuner finger would probably get itchy midway.
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:20 I probably should or would have mentioned that one of my oldest friends has been Dick Pruitt's significant other for decades.
	12:22pm Vpfavale: Love the song even though the hook reminds me of the I Love Lucy theme...I also love the fact that John Lennon was a fan of the song...
	12:22pm bad memory john: no reminiscin for me
	12:23pm Chris from Brooklyn: That is a dose of serious 70’s nostalgia. It defined an era. Raise my teacup to LRB reminiscing
	12:23pm Listener John from NJ: The Little River Band song "Reminiscing" is not my cup of tea. I would change the station.
	12:23pm Alan in Marblehead: What makes reminiscing interesting for me is that it was supposedly John Lennon, and may pang’s “song”
	12:23pm Faux Jean: Listening in sunny California! LRB song has nostalgic factor me. Is it a number one hit?
	12:23pm Moammar: I had to live through "Reminiscing" once. I will never go back.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 you did! nice! what i said was that i had seen them, but didn't know the BelAirs.
	12:24pm Chris Hiatt: It's my cuppa of tea! I would at least keep the station on until the end of the song, then who knows? (If it was WFMU I'd most likely keep it on).
	12:24pm Jenn in the BX: 🫖 Reminiscing would be on my playlist to sing along on a road trip with other similar sounding songs.
	12:24pm nycmusicnerd: RE: Little River Band "Reminiscing"--I don't HATE the song, but it's not my favorite. Exboyfriends do a decent cover of it. I do love LRB's "Cool Change" though.
	12:24pm Jimmy D: Schmaltz overdose
	12:24pm Paul in the OC: Would not change the station, that one’s oke.
	12:24pm drr: I'll go first: I think Little River Band is among the worst things you're likely to hear on oldies, particularly "Cool Change", "Lady!" (ridiculous!), and "Reminiscing". (I also dislike "Miller's Band" based on some kind of transitive property of their being mentioned in an LRB tune.) HOWEVER... "Happy Anniversary" is OK to roller-skate to, or I thought so when I was twelve.
	12:24pm vanya haifa: I was born in Soviet Union. I don't have that changing-station mentality. There's only one station for me and I've chosen it myself, let Ken Friedman, our great leader, live a long life
	12:24pm Jenn in the BX: ↳ Jenn in the BX @12:24 And I’d stick with that radio station
	12:24pm gf2002: Reminiscing is a great song with great production and a really crisp late 70's studio hi-fi sound. I am not ashamed to play that record for many people to point out the production. It's the same sentiment as The Kinks' "Come Dancing" in the lyrics. I never change the station.
	12:25pm Moammar: I would not change the station. I would pour gasoline on the radio and ignite it.
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:24 I don't mind "Lonesome Loser" and "It's A Long Way There."
	12:25pm Listener Baby: That listener, who is clearly astute, is absolutely correct. Reminiscing = #1 Hit.
	12:25pm juan: "Reminiscing" is not my cup of tea. But I probably wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio
	12:25pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "You're 16" by "Bambi Kino" Have Nick Cave sing this as a ballad... suuuper creeepy
	12:25pm mike east: Gosh- super hits of the 70’s volume 1 was such an important record for me. Pretty sure I went through two copies of it…hopefully still have the second one somewhere. Explorers club beegees cover is still my favorite version of that song.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "You're 16" by "Bambi Kino" woooooooo!
	12:25pm drr: Oh, God, I forgot about "Lonesome Loser". Yuk.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: I'd probably switch off "Reminiscing" but would crank up "Help Is on Its Way." "Diamantina Cocktail ... now THAT was an album.
	12:25pm Cooh John: An ambivalent answer. Came out when I was a teenager so I grew up with it. Good song. OK to hear a couple of times a decade.
	12:25pm ?: If I was surfing the radio dial and that song came on I would not change the channel. Because it's mostly likely a livee DJ. They are hard to find these days
	12:25pm Moammar: ↳ Squints @12:25 God, I had forgotten these until now. And now they're back. How many decades will it take to purge my memory again? Maybe ketamine is the thing for this.
	12:26pm gf2002: As a kid in the late 70's I went to a lot of family weddings where "Reminiscing" and "Just The Way You Are" were the married couple's first dance song
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:24 I use "Chewy Chewy" as my go-to song to tell people, "Not that's how to put a record together."
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:25 "Help Is On The Way, " I'd cheerily bellow along with.
	12:28pm gf2002: I still cannot get over the feeling of turning on the "oldies" station and hearing Goo Goo Dolls and Alanis. Is that part of growing older?
	12:28pm mike east: Oh and this yo la tengo! What a compilation!
	12:29pm gf2002: I switch off "Kokomo"
	12:29pm clarke: Reminiscing story: my old band The Incredible Casuals used to have a segment where we'd get our tone-deaf sound man to "sing" a song or two. when he did Reminiscing it brought the house down in a way that Alfalfa would have loved!!!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:29 Nice! Not everyone has a good "Reminscing" story.
	12:31pm drr: ↳ Squints @12:26 For me it's "Foolish Fool" by Dee Dee Warwick or "Top Of the Stairs" by Collins and Collins. Perfect example of the producer saying "Make it more punchy." I will Listen to "Chewy Chewy" with that frame of reference in mind.
	12:32pm clarke: true. this one is an indeliable memory, and i think exists on a cassette... somewhere.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:28 The other day I was at Trader Joe's and they were playing "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and one of the TJs guys was doing his work and singing along. And I just wanted to tap him the shoulder and say, "I just want you to know that I know who you are."
	12:33pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:24 Yeah, I like Cool Change too.
	12:33pm drr: Sounds like Little Bob oiled up the kick drum pedal after "I Got Loaded".
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:33 singer sewing machine erl.
	12:35pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:34 that the stuff to get?
	12:35pm clarke: it used to be, pre-wd40
	12:36pm Squints: Never mind gluco. There really needs to be an ingestible form of WD-40.
	12:37pm clarke: lol
	12:37pm clarke: it's called Watney's
	12:39pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 My Goo Goo Dolls story is seeing them in the early 90s, before they were big, but they were headed that way. They used the Sanford and Sons Quincy Jones-produced theme as their "walk on" music. Well, you can't compete with that. With all their amps and live drums they just sounded thin and lame by comparison. The spell, such as it was, was broken.
	12:39pm Listener Baby: I think it bears mentioning. Two titans of 20th music. Who would both be on the Mount Rushmore of popular music, site Reminiscing as a favorite of theirs. Both, two, not one, two. And if Gershwin, and Ellington had heard it, they’d feel the same, maybe. It bears mentioning. I’d love to meet that listener who keeps bothering you with all this, Baby. Bet he’s a looker too.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:39 back then, they had some okay-sounding songs and then one gem: There You Are - still in my top200
	12:40pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:39 Now "Broadway" is one which I never fail to crank up and bellow along with.
	12:40pm egould: ↳ Song: "Today I Feel In Love" by "Queers, The" Number oneiest of number ones.
	12:40pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:40 <kermit the frog nod>
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:39 me-thinks he lives close to you.
	12:41pm Squints: "Crzay people squatted in my house" Terry Melcher?
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:39 Oof. Painful when you see the man behind the curtain, so to speak. And to think that they leveraged various elements of the Replacements into a soft, squishy and agreeable stew that made them a ton o' dough.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" it's CRUNCH-y!
	12:42pm clarke: scott schinder would definitely have enjoyed our chat, today, ha ha ha.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" I learn something new every day. Is there even a single bad Del Shannon record?
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:39 I saw a Goo Goo Dolls show where the guitar tech gave the lead singer the wrong acoustic guitar, since they use some truly bizarre open guitar tunings on those mega-hits they had. So he starts the song, it sounds terrible, he takes off the guitar and literally slings it across the stage like a bowling ball and then the tech/roadie runs out and tosses him the "right" guitar. Wonder if he had a job after that gig...it was a televised show broadcast live.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" Nice double track of himself on the chorus with the falsetto.
	12:44pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 WOW!
	12:45pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZnotes
	12:45pm G: Galatoire’s is still here in NOLA. haha
	12:46pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Push The Swing" by "Laura Cantrell" Oh wow, and yeah, this cut has a completely different production thing going on than the cut from her that Scott Williams played the other day.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ G @12:45 went thar with my sis this spring!
	12:47pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ G @12:45 I tried to go eat there once but I was wearing sandals. Oops!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:39 Lennon also liked Yoko's music
	12:47pm john: this is a hit
	12:47pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Two For The Price Of One" by "Larry Williams And ... This is a smoker.
	12:48pm Niko, Copenhagen: Can anyone tell me on which record to find that Lester Flatt-version of Girl from the north country. What a smashing tune!
	12:48pm Moammar: "Having plenty fuuuuuuuun ...." Deathless.
	12:49pm drr: "Two for The Price Of One"! My band used to play this. We handled the tricky bits by not playing them. This album is way high on my grails list. I remember not buying it in my bright college days.
	12:49pm HungryFreaks: Johnny Guitar Watson, one of that group who died onstage while performing.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:47 deal-breaker!
	12:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Two For The Price Of One" by "Larry Williams And ... The Doublemint commercial that never was!
	12:50pm Ken S: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @12:23 I saw that article floating around. Timeline makes no sense. Lennon was back in the Dakota with Yoko and 3 year old Sean when Reminiscing hit the airwaves.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 What’s not to like?
	12:51pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:49 "We handled the tricky bits by not playing them." I LIKE this guy.
	12:51pm drr: ↳ HungryFreaks @12:49 Etta James bio with David Ritz "Rage to Survive" is good for Etta reasons but also for being the closest thing we're gonna get to a Larry Williams/Johnny Watson book. Good Bo Diddley stories too.
	12:51pm CalZone!: I never met Scott in person, but we became FB pals through this radio show. We shared a connection as similar aged Long Island raised radio and music misanthropes, and I really enjoyed chatting with him about those kinda things. We both dug the Turtles, Del Shannon, and that ilk. He was very generous, always offering digital collections of rare music and information. Def a rock n roll mensch! He will be missed! Wonderful tribute, MS! Perfect, really!
	12:52pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:47 They hand out dress shoes and dinner jackets at the front
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:52 i don't know about shoes, but they have jackets and ties.
	12:53pm DJ Johnny Cool: If you like Nuevo check out The Last Jimenez. Some of the same guys.
	12:53pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:52 @Hubig: "I bet I can tell you where you got them shoes!"
	12:53pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:45 ClarkEEEEEEEEE

	12:54pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:53 sho nuff!!

	12:54pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!!
	12:54pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ clarke @12:52 Aha, can't remember if they offered those or not. One way or another, I'll be prepared next time. Really want to eat there!
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:53 Professor Fizz!! howdy suh!!
	12:55pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Every Night" by "Nuevo" Did Nuevo lose some important momentum by releasing their new material one song at a time? I feel like they missed the bus for reason. Discuss?
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:54 like this radio station, Galatoire's is the best of ALL worlds.
	12:56pm egould: Thank you Michael. Your selection of songs, and the order you presented them resulted in an enjoyable experience. I look forward to a similar experience next Saturday morning.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:55 and those worlds being: creole AND cajun!
	12:57pm steveo: Smooooth harmonies.ahhh
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "On The Tomorrow Show March 6, 1981" by "Pat Cooper" WHO TOLD YOU THAT???!!!!!!

	12:58pm Moammar: The Great Rock 'n' Roll Schinder
	12:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks for a great show. My one encounter with Scott was an afternoon show in downtown Brooklyn in the aughts. I think that it was Swampdogg.
	12:59pm drr: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @12:58 I was at that? Mint green suit?
	12:59pm Bruce S.: steve and edie don't bring the business in
	12:59pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Pat Cooper, punk rocker. He overturned the established order

	1:00pm Dominick: Amen, Pat
	1:00pm P-90: RIP Scott and Thanks @ Michael as always
	1:40pm P-90: “Stick it to the Man, Baby”
	10:30am Tom: My friend Alan Bisbort was the editor of PleaseKillMedotcom and sent me this note: Scott was a pleasure to work with as an editor. He talked me into letting him write a story on Archie Bell and the Drells by offering to do the "Tighten Up" for 30 minutes on the sidewalks of Austin if the story didn't reach 1,000 views within two months. I took his dare. Needless to say, his story did just that and he was spared humiliating himself in his hometown. I just reread his story. He had a real touch. https://pleasekillme.com/tighten-up-archie-bell/ a list of stories Scott wrote for PKM while I worked there. https://pleasekillme.com/author/sschinder/ Condolences to you Michael and all of Scott's friends and family.

	11:31am clarke: mornin' david!!
	11:31am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:28 Well, fortunately it's not life-threatening, but not something I would wish on anyone (well, most people) either.
	11:31am clarke: nuff said!
	11:32am morphe': Fathers Day Aftershave .. when I was 11-12 .. I tried to shoplift a box set of English Leather After Shave and Cologne for my father on Fathers' Day from Century 21 in Bklyn... got caught and they called the house and he came into the back room gave me a right hook and knocked me down = Happy Fathers' Day
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:31 i am not meaning this as a jibe, i haven't done the research - what's up with the mets? owner troubles?
	11:34am Joey!: Happy Father's Day everyone!!! Great show Mike!
	11:34am G: ↳ clarke @11:32 They threw a ton of money as guys on the downslope?
	11:34am Hughie Considine: ↳ morphe' @11:32 Now that's a Father's Day story to cherish. I actually have a good association with dads and after-shave. I'd watch my dad shave and when he was done he'd slap a little 4711 on my cheeks. He wasn't very affectionate, so this was like a kiss.
	11:34am G: *on guys...
	11:35am clarke: ↳ G @11:34 but, what is he threatening to do?
	11:36am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 good thing it wasn't Hai Karate!! you'd have to fight off the ladies!!
	11:37am G: Not sure what the Mets plan is now. The rap on Buck, from when he was in Baltimore and before, is players like him, but somehow he can't quite get a team over the top himself.
	11:37am clarke: ↳ G @11:37 we'll take buck back at balti!!!
	11:39am evancuts: I first met Scott at a bbq at your house. He was a real cirmugden (sp?) and we actually got in a pretty heated argument just a few minutes after you introduced me to him. But I could sense right away that he was an interesting guy and turned out to really like him. And I really enjoyed your minute together with him on the air every week. RIP.
	11:39am G: Opinion is very divided about that among Orioles fans. Some love him, and some say he can't get you to the promised land. The rap is he can take a junk team and make them a contender (Yanks, Dbacks, Os), but he can't get them to the WS.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @11:32 Ownership is very committed, although perhaps a bit too much. It's the players. There's no way that roster should be playing this badly. At least Alvarez has been playing well.
	11:40am clarke: that could be said of 19 managers, a year.
	11:40am jmd: Lovely remembrance, Michael. Nice.
	11:40am PatrickMC: I don't remember SS but your tribute, Michael, makes me wish I did. RIP.
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Nice eulogy. Mavens are still a valuable commodity in this world.
	11:42am clarke: oh man, this is nice, thanks!!
	11:43am CalZone!: This tribute is perfect Michael! Thanks. He will def be missed!
	11:44am clarke: that's true - that New Cars album is GREAT!! STILL!!
	11:44am Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "SCOTT SCHINDER" by "A Minute With" Loving this. Hate that I didn't experience these moments as they happened. Next best thing. Thanks.
	11:44am Chris Hiatt: Hi, tuning in from Brooklyn.
	11:45am Matt Fiveash: My condolences on the loss of your friend, Michael- you were the first person I thought of when I heard the very sad news.
	11:45am Listener Baby: This is lovely, Baby
	11:46am Frank In Queens: Were you sick for this installment?
	11:46am Don & Tracy: Thanks for the remembrance
	11:46am clarke: love the way jupe says "sender" - he was a Solid Sender!!
	11:47am drr: ↳ Frank In Queens @11:46 Frank beat me to it.
	11:47am drr: This is what I remember--how he skips the pleasantries.
	11:47am Kelly Jones: Hi Michael, Sorry to hear about Scott, and losing your friend. Thanks for sharing him and your friendship with him with us.
	11:50am egould: RIP Scott Shinder.
	11:50am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Keep It To Yourself" by "Amy Rigby" One of my favorite Amy Rigby songs! Anybody else going to see her at City Winery on Monday?
	11:51am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:50 i wish!!
	11:51am tonyb: “ …we’re out of time.” : (
	11:51am G: ↳ drr @11:47 He only had a minute haha
	11:52am Hughie Considine: Loved those minutes with Scott, Michael. The essence of comes across, and likes so many who frequent this board, he seems like the kind of guy I could sit and talk about music with all day.
	11:52am rx scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must go fill my day with other things.
	11:53am Dave the Spazz: So tragic. Scott was a very funny guy and a genuinely good person. Well spoken eulogy, Michael. This was a tough one.
	11:53am Gaylord Fields: Thanks for playing an audio document of the one and only time that Scott said I was right rather than "Well, actually…" I know you'll miss him as much as I will. It's a diminished world indeed.
	11:53am mike east: I’m am grateful that I lived through and was tuned into the era of “a minute with Scott shinder”….thank you, Michael for bringing it to us.
	11:53am drr: ↳ G @11:51 that's right!
	11:53am morphe': "Keep It To Yourself" by Amy Rigby "... I hear they're pouring concrete out on Hwy #3 ..." the benefits of celibecy [sp?]
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:53 well.. actually...
	11:55am Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @11:54 Now I feel complete. Thanks, pal!
	11:56am clarke: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:55 sorry for the loss of your pal, man!!
	11:56am Tim from LH: Nice and funny tribute to Scott, hearing all those clips back to back. Scott was so knowledgeable about everything, he even corrected Michael’s pronunciation of Lake Hopatcong after my pledge to the show and knew where it was and a bit about the lake.
	11:56am Gaylord Fields: ↳ clarke @11:56 I appreciate it.
	11:57am DG: Thanks for those clips, it was great to hear SS again (after I discovered him on your show). I wonder if our paths crossed at any NY-area shows over the years....
	11:58am Montmaster J: I think the beer pouring incident was me...I just can't remember who poured on whom.
	11:59am DG: Back in high school, a fellow music fan lent me a copy of "Good Clean Fun," a weird KIm F. album, with songs, phony phone calls, etc. I also remember an early Warren Zevon song, "I'm Not Young Anymore," which I don't think Warren ever recorded. And yes, Kim's, um, legacy is a bit more complicated than Scott's. Always found him kinda creepy in interviews.
	12:00pm frenchee: Touching tribute! And Amy R’s song had me laughing and crying. Thanks, Michael. Gaylord was right (once)!
	12:00pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Me" by "Kim Fowley" This is 90s college radio lo-fi
	12:01pm Hugh: Sorry to hear about Scott S. I enjoyed the minutes and he'll be missed.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @11:58 then you must've been the pourER!!
	12:01pm drr: I didn't know Scott but I feel like I heard some of those clips the first time around. They really take me back to a very different time when I was living in NYC (somewhat involuntarily, post-Katrina). I liked y'all's schtick of "we're both wasting each other's time" (like "Not interested!", etc.) but it does seem like he really came on to talk up the good stuff.
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:01 like lewis and martin!!
	12:03pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Thanks for sharing your tribute Michael. After years of reading his pieces, I was delighted to meet him at one of the Stomps. He seemed to be one of the few ppl that consistently wrote abt NRBQ, so I kept track of his byline & sought his pieces out. Anyway, a good conversation, wish I’d gotten to know him better.
	12:03pm Rhae: Thank you for sharing some of Scott's minutes. It was so sweet, and sad, to hear his voice again. And it captured him so well, he was hilarious, even if you couldn't figure out if he hated you or loved you in his snarky comebacks. I only met Scott just before he fell ill, so only knew him these last 9 years or so. I knew so little about his actual work or life, but we spent a lot of time together as I drove him to medical appointments. As I posted on his FB, every time I picked him up he had a pocketful of old cassettes in his pocket, and sometimes I thought he really only accepted my help because I was the one person he knew that still had a cassette deck in a car. He was always thrilled to get to listen to stuff he hadn't been able to in years, as we drove to doctors and hospitals and sometimes stopped for pizza. He was gruff and lovable and I miss him so much already.
	12:05pm clarke: nice stories!!
	12:05pm clarke: my eyes don't see so good!!
	12:05pm PaulRobeson1923: U got this babe
	12:06pm Mister Dobalina: Do you need an appointment, Mr. Rosenberg?
	12:07pm clarke: they's goin' crazy!!
	12:09pm morphe': The clips were an audio flashback ... the way a fragerance [sp?] or specific smell brings a memory
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: Ok honey baby.
	12:12pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "To Whom It Concerns" by "Keith" The story goes that John Lennon complimented Keith's "98.6" while they were peeing at adjacent urinals at the Whiskey.
	12:12pm Squints: ↳ Song: "To Whom It Concerns" by "Keith" Horns. Proto-Candida? Was Tony Orlando taking notes?
	12:14pm clarke: missouri
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: Springfield, Missouri. They used to play here pretty regularly.
	12:14pm Squints: Nah. Ya gotta wait until you get that second wind in the afternoon before you tee 'em up again.
	12:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: And, I do believe we got drunk together on a couple occasions.
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:15 good people!~
	12:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yep. I'd love to see them or the Skeletons again.
	12:17pm clarke: me, too!
	12:17pm morphe': Some Scott Schinder writings: https://pleasekillme.com/author/sschinder/
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:17 Wait, did we ever talk about The Bel Airs?
	12:18pm Montmaster J: ↳ clarke @12:01 Maybe...I loved talking to and arguing with Scott...RIP
	12:18pm clarke: we DID!!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Montmaster J @12:18 my logic: i would certainly remember if i got doused
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:18 Couldn't remember. I probably should have seen them last week. Ah well, they'll be back in a couple weeks.
	12:20pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:20 wow - what a treat!!
	12:21pm Listener John from NJ: Hello all!
	12:21pm clarke: i think it is a ridiculously BAD song - but so bad it is good.
	12:21pm Moammar: Please, god, no Little River Band. No "Reminiscing." I am begging you.
	12:21pm Rex P: CUP OF TEA!! 🍵 ❤️ KEEP THE STATION
	12:21pm GeoSinPhilly: ↳ Song: "Hair Of The Dog" by "Morells, The" Lou Whitney RIP. In an early, very weird, shakey version of Philadelpia's Stickmen, I opened for "The Symptoms," an precursor of the Morells/Skeletons with Lou and D. Clinton Thompson. They were already ace players, yet Lou was nothing but delightfully encouraging.
	12:21pm burpage: Music is my cup of tea
	12:22pm Moammar: We invented punk rock to rid ourselves of this sort of thing.
	12:22pm CalZone!: Thar LRB song makes me queasy... not pleasy.
	12:22pm Squints: That song?Coin flip. Depends. My tuner finger would probably get itchy midway.
	12:22pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:20 I probably should or would have mentioned that one of my oldest friends has been Dick Pruitt's significant other for decades.
	12:22pm Vpfavale: Love the song even though the hook reminds me of the I Love Lucy theme...I also love the fact that John Lennon was a fan of the song...
	12:22pm bad memory john: no reminiscin for me
	12:23pm Chris from Brooklyn: That is a dose of serious 70’s nostalgia. It defined an era. Raise my teacup to LRB reminiscing
	12:23pm Listener John from NJ: The Little River Band song "Reminiscing" is not my cup of tea. I would change the station.
	12:23pm Alan in Marblehead: What makes reminiscing interesting for me is that it was supposedly John Lennon, and may pang’s “song”
	12:23pm Faux Jean: Listening in sunny California! LRB song has nostalgic factor me. Is it a number one hit?
	12:23pm Moammar: I had to live through "Reminiscing" once. I will never go back.
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:22 you did! nice! what i said was that i had seen them, but didn't know the BelAirs.
	12:24pm Chris Hiatt: It's my cuppa of tea! I would at least keep the station on until the end of the song, then who knows? (If it was WFMU I'd most likely keep it on).
	12:24pm Jenn in the BX: 🫖 Reminiscing would be on my playlist to sing along on a road trip with other similar sounding songs.
	12:24pm nycmusicnerd: RE: Little River Band "Reminiscing"--I don't HATE the song, but it's not my favorite. Exboyfriends do a decent cover of it. I do love LRB's "Cool Change" though.
	12:24pm Jimmy D: Schmaltz overdose
	12:24pm Paul in the OC: Would not change the station, that one’s oke.
	12:24pm drr: I'll go first: I think Little River Band is among the worst things you're likely to hear on oldies, particularly "Cool Change", "Lady!" (ridiculous!), and "Reminiscing". (I also dislike "Miller's Band" based on some kind of transitive property of their being mentioned in an LRB tune.) HOWEVER... "Happy Anniversary" is OK to roller-skate to, or I thought so when I was twelve.
	12:24pm vanya haifa: I was born in Soviet Union. I don't have that changing-station mentality. There's only one station for me and I've chosen it myself, let Ken Friedman, our great leader, live a long life
	12:24pm Jenn in the BX: ↳ Jenn in the BX @12:24 And I’d stick with that radio station
	12:24pm gf2002: Reminiscing is a great song with great production and a really crisp late 70's studio hi-fi sound. I am not ashamed to play that record for many people to point out the production. It's the same sentiment as The Kinks' "Come Dancing" in the lyrics. I never change the station.
	12:25pm Moammar: I would not change the station. I would pour gasoline on the radio and ignite it.
	12:25pm Squints: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:24 I don't mind "Lonesome Loser" and "It's A Long Way There."
	12:25pm Listener Baby: That listener, who is clearly astute, is absolutely correct. Reminiscing = #1 Hit.
	12:25pm juan: "Reminiscing" is not my cup of tea. But I probably wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio
	12:25pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "You're 16" by "Bambi Kino" Have Nick Cave sing this as a ballad... suuuper creeepy
	12:25pm mike east: Gosh- super hits of the 70’s volume 1 was such an important record for me. Pretty sure I went through two copies of it…hopefully still have the second one somewhere. Explorers club beegees cover is still my favorite version of that song.
	12:25pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "You're 16" by "Bambi Kino" woooooooo!
	12:25pm drr: Oh, God, I forgot about "Lonesome Loser". Yuk.
	12:25pm Hughie Considine: I'd probably switch off "Reminiscing" but would crank up "Help Is on Its Way." "Diamantina Cocktail ... now THAT was an album.
	12:25pm Cooh John: An ambivalent answer. Came out when I was a teenager so I grew up with it. Good song. OK to hear a couple of times a decade.
	12:25pm ?: If I was surfing the radio dial and that song came on I would not change the channel. Because it's mostly likely a livee DJ. They are hard to find these days
	12:25pm Moammar: ↳ Squints @12:25 God, I had forgotten these until now. And now they're back. How many decades will it take to purge my memory again? Maybe ketamine is the thing for this.
	12:26pm gf2002: As a kid in the late 70's I went to a lot of family weddings where "Reminiscing" and "Just The Way You Are" were the married couple's first dance song
	12:26pm Squints: ↳ gf2002 @12:24 I use "Chewy Chewy" as my go-to song to tell people, "Not that's how to put a record together."
	12:27pm Squints: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:25 "Help Is On The Way, " I'd cheerily bellow along with.
	12:28pm gf2002: I still cannot get over the feeling of turning on the "oldies" station and hearing Goo Goo Dolls and Alanis. Is that part of growing older?
	12:28pm mike east: Oh and this yo la tengo! What a compilation!
	12:29pm gf2002: I switch off "Kokomo"
	12:29pm clarke: Reminiscing story: my old band The Incredible Casuals used to have a segment where we'd get our tone-deaf sound man to "sing" a song or two. when he did Reminiscing it brought the house down in a way that Alfalfa would have loved!!!
	12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:29 Nice! Not everyone has a good "Reminscing" story.
	12:31pm drr: ↳ Squints @12:26 For me it's "Foolish Fool" by Dee Dee Warwick or "Top Of the Stairs" by Collins and Collins. Perfect example of the producer saying "Make it more punchy." I will Listen to "Chewy Chewy" with that frame of reference in mind.
	12:32pm clarke: true. this one is an indeliable memory, and i think exists on a cassette... somewhere.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:28 The other day I was at Trader Joe's and they were playing "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and one of the TJs guys was doing his work and singing along. And I just wanted to tap him the shoulder and say, "I just want you to know that I know who you are."
	12:33pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:24 Yeah, I like Cool Change too.
	12:33pm drr: Sounds like Little Bob oiled up the kick drum pedal after "I Got Loaded".
	12:34pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:33 singer sewing machine erl.
	12:35pm drr: ↳ clarke @12:34 that the stuff to get?
	12:35pm clarke: it used to be, pre-wd40
	12:36pm Squints: Never mind gluco. There really needs to be an ingestible form of WD-40.
	12:37pm clarke: lol
	12:37pm clarke: it's called Watney's
	12:39pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 My Goo Goo Dolls story is seeing them in the early 90s, before they were big, but they were headed that way. They used the Sanford and Sons Quincy Jones-produced theme as their "walk on" music. Well, you can't compete with that. With all their amps and live drums they just sounded thin and lame by comparison. The spell, such as it was, was broken.
	12:39pm Listener Baby: I think it bears mentioning. Two titans of 20th music. Who would both be on the Mount Rushmore of popular music, site Reminiscing as a favorite of theirs. Both, two, not one, two. And if Gershwin, and Ellington had heard it, they’d feel the same, maybe. It bears mentioning. I’d love to meet that listener who keeps bothering you with all this, Baby. Bet he’s a looker too.
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:39 back then, they had some okay-sounding songs and then one gem: There You Are - still in my top200
	12:40pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:39 Now "Broadway" is one which I never fail to crank up and bellow along with.
	12:40pm egould: ↳ Song: "Today I Feel In Love" by "Queers, The" Number oneiest of number ones.
	12:40pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:40 <kermit the frog nod>
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @12:39 me-thinks he lives close to you.
	12:41pm Squints: "Crzay people squatted in my house" Terry Melcher?
	12:41pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:39 Oof. Painful when you see the man behind the curtain, so to speak. And to think that they leveraged various elements of the Replacements into a soft, squishy and agreeable stew that made them a ton o' dough.
	12:42pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" it's CRUNCH-y!
	12:42pm clarke: scott schinder would definitely have enjoyed our chat, today, ha ha ha.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" I learn something new every day. Is there even a single bad Del Shannon record?
	12:43pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:39 I saw a Goo Goo Dolls show where the guitar tech gave the lead singer the wrong acoustic guitar, since they use some truly bizarre open guitar tunings on those mega-hits they had. So he starts the song, it sounds terrible, he takes off the guitar and literally slings it across the stage like a bowling ball and then the tech/roadie runs out and tosses him the "right" guitar. Wonder if he had a job after that gig...it was a televised show broadcast live.
	12:43pm Squints: ↳ Song: "Show Me" by "Del Shannon" Nice double track of himself on the chorus with the falsetto.
	12:44pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 WOW!
	12:45pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZnotes
	12:45pm G: Galatoire’s is still here in NOLA. haha
	12:46pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Push The Swing" by "Laura Cantrell" Oh wow, and yeah, this cut has a completely different production thing going on than the cut from her that Scott Williams played the other day.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ G @12:45 went thar with my sis this spring!
	12:47pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ G @12:45 I tried to go eat there once but I was wearing sandals. Oops!
	12:47pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Listener Baby @12:39 Lennon also liked Yoko's music
	12:47pm john: this is a hit
	12:47pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Two For The Price Of One" by "Larry Williams And ... This is a smoker.
	12:48pm Niko, Copenhagen: Can anyone tell me on which record to find that Lester Flatt-version of Girl from the north country. What a smashing tune!
	12:48pm Moammar: "Having plenty fuuuuuuuun ...." Deathless.
	12:49pm drr: "Two for The Price Of One"! My band used to play this. We handled the tricky bits by not playing them. This album is way high on my grails list. I remember not buying it in my bright college days.
	12:49pm HungryFreaks: Johnny Guitar Watson, one of that group who died onstage while performing.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:47 deal-breaker!
	12:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Song: "Two For The Price Of One" by "Larry Williams And ... The Doublemint commercial that never was!
	12:50pm Ken S: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @12:23 I saw that article floating around. Timeline makes no sense. Lennon was back in the Dakota with Yoko and 3 year old Sean when Reminiscing hit the airwaves.
	12:51pm Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:47 What’s not to like?
	12:51pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:49 "We handled the tricky bits by not playing them." I LIKE this guy.
	12:51pm drr: ↳ HungryFreaks @12:49 Etta James bio with David Ritz "Rage to Survive" is good for Etta reasons but also for being the closest thing we're gonna get to a Larry Williams/Johnny Watson book. Good Bo Diddley stories too.
	12:51pm CalZone!: I never met Scott in person, but we became FB pals through this radio show. We shared a connection as similar aged Long Island raised radio and music misanthropes, and I really enjoyed chatting with him about those kinda things. We both dug the Turtles, Del Shannon, and that ilk. He was very generous, always offering digital collections of rare music and information. Def a rock n roll mensch! He will be missed! Wonderful tribute, MS! Perfect, really!
	12:52pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:47 They hand out dress shoes and dinner jackets at the front
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:52 i don't know about shoes, but they have jackets and ties.
	12:53pm DJ Johnny Cool: If you like Nuevo check out The Last Jimenez. Some of the same guys.
	12:53pm drr: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:52 @Hubig: "I bet I can tell you where you got them shoes!"
	12:53pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:45 ClarkEEEEEEEEE
	12:54pm Squints: ↳ DJ Johnny Cool @12:53 Going immediately so I don't forget.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:53 sho nuff!!

	12:54pm morphe': Thanks Mikey and all !!!
	12:54pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ clarke @12:52 Aha, can't remember if they offered those or not. One way or another, I'll be prepared next time. Really want to eat there!
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:53 Professor Fizz!! howdy suh!!
	12:55pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Every Night" by "Nuevo" Did Nuevo lose some important momentum by releasing their new material one song at a time? I feel like they missed the bus for reason. Discuss?
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @12:54 like this radio station, Galatoire's is the best of ALL worlds.
	12:56pm egould: Thank you Michael. Your selection of songs, and the order you presented them resulted in an enjoyable experience. I look forward to a similar experience next Saturday morning.
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:55 and those worlds being: creole AND cajun!
	12:57pm steveo: Smooooth harmonies.ahhh
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "On The Tomorrow Show March 6, 1981" by "Pat Cooper" WHO TOLD YOU THAT???!!!!!!
	12:57pm Chris Hiatt: Thanks for the #1 hits, Michael Shelley!
	12:58pm clarke: anyone ever get the feelin' they been sendered?? good nite.

	12:58pm Bob Barth: Great show Michael!!
	12:58pm Moammar: The Great Rock 'n' Roll Schinder
	12:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks for a great show. My one encounter with Scott was an afternoon show in downtown Brooklyn in the aughts. I think that it was Swampdogg.
	12:59pm drr: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @12:58 I was at that? Mint green suit?
	12:59pm Bruce S.: steve and edie don't bring the business in
	12:59pm Dungaroos Kipawah: Pat Cooper, punk rocker. He overturned the established order
	1:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ drr @12:59 Yup
	1:00pm Dominick: Amen, Pat
	1:00pm P-90: RIP Scott and Thanks @ Michael as always
	1:40pm P-90: “Stick it to the Man, Baby”
	10:30am Tom: My friend Alan Bisbort was the editor of PleaseKillMedotcom and sent me this note: Scott was a pleasure to work with as an editor. He talked me into letting him write a story on Archie Bell and the Drells by offering to do the "Tighten Up" for 30 minutes on the sidewalks of Austin if the story didn't reach 1,000 views within two months. I took his dare. Needless to say, his story did just that and he was spared humiliating himself in his hometown. I just reread his story. He had a real touch. https://pleasekillme.com/tighten-up-archie-bell/ a list of stories Scott wrote for PKM while I worked there. https://pleasekillme.com/author/sschinder/ Condolences to you Michael and all of Scott's friends and family.
