	12:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @12:39 nice, related on storks playlist that i had the impression that i got from who knows where, a dream maybe, that blossom dearie was meredith monk's mother, any way stork said he wanted to believe the 'make believe' relationship

	12:48pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:44 Heh, that reminds me of the time back in the 80s when I told someone that Queen Latifah's father was Muhammad Ali; have NO idea where I heard that originally!

	12:54pm Mary Wing: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 Pa pah, lo tendah!
	🛎 12:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "2 Letter 'PN'" by "unknown woman" Mary, do you ever worry one of these will wake up some sleeper agent? cuz i do.
	12:56pm Mary Wing: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:55 I used to, but these are all so old that surely the agents have died by now, heh.
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:38 greetings tom tom
	12:58pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mary Wing @12:56 Although, what if some old guy goes ballistic at the senior center?
	12:58pm adamdoesit: Hooray hooray, it's Mary Wing day! Hello, boids of a feathuh.
	12:58pm rw: Muhammad Ali is Queen Latifah's dad??
	🛎 12:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 "Pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan, this is Coast Guard Center New York, Coast Guard Center New York ..."
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @12:40 greetings spodiodi!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @12:58 olá adam
	🛎 1:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:59 Right. One step below mayday radio signal.
	1:04pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:01 Hey cøel!
	🛎 1:06pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:01 So someone was telling the world to be aware there is no teddy bear.
	1:08pm Mary Wing: ↳ adamdoesit @12:58 Hi adamdoesit!
	1:09pm Mary Wing: ↳ rw @12:58 Heh, no, rw. I was spreading lies in the pre-internet age, 'cause how would anyone prove it back then?
	1:12pm adamdoesit: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:01 News to me. There's a Fats Waller song from 1942-ish called Pan-Pan, but there the phrase (and refrain) refers to some poor schlub's unattractive face. I wonder if they're related somehow.
	1:16pm rw: ↳ Mary Wing @1:09 Well, I'm going to continue spreading it. If the opportunity arises. A little disinformation never hurt anyone. I'll be sure to cite you as a reference.
	🛎 1:17pm Hubig Pie: ↳ adamdoesit @1:12 I heard it a lot during my Coast Guard career. Usually a captain sending out a call that his ship has mechanical issues but not a "I'm at death's door!" type deal.
	1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:12 there used to be a restaurant in harlem named pan pan on 135th& malcolmx blvd
	1:18pm rw: ↳ Mary Wing @1:09 Yesterday at work the running joke was, "I wish there was a way to find out" (whether this or that actor played on this or that TV show)
	🛎 1:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:17 Yeah, Coast Guard around here uses it to alert mariners to hazards or to request reports and aid if there's been a distress call. "Mayday" gets all the rescue boats out. "Pan-pan" is more "I've dropped my paddles overboard."
	1:22pm tom tom the pipers son: pan pan...lenox ave ny1.com...
	1:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:20 funny a diner would have that name but perhaps there's some other transliteration
	🛎 1:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:20 Have you had to make that call on one of your 20-man canoe rides on the East River? Surely someone always drops a paddle or two.
	1:29pm adamdoesit: I would totally eat at the Mayday Diner. Try the chili.
	1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:29 5 alarm i'm guessing
	1:32pm adamdoesit: Here's a tribute to my favorite departed Harlem diner, the M&G. Old fashion but good! www.harlemworldmagazine.com...
	🛎 1:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "French Pastry" by "The Band Whose Name Is A Symbo... This was from Michele? It was a JAMMER!
	1:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:32 nice the jukebox must have been a thing to behold....pan pan had a unique counter and seating
	🛎 1:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Note to whatever: Bandcamp Friday this week. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	1:43pm chresti: ↳ rw @1:16 Ms Info?
	🛎 1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:29 I have never had to make a distress call. There was a capsize years ago, and they must have put out a pan-pan because the cops came buzzing into the creek, missing the capsized canoe entirely (and slowing down their self-rescue efforts with their idiotically massive wake). I make a LOT of security calls, but I have never had to make a distress call and hope that continues, inshallah.
	1:49pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Sundowning" by "Ahleuchatistas" And Ah-Leu-Cha is a Charlie Parker composition, and, well, I gotta go. Thank you, DJ Mary!
	🛎 1:50pm chris in the redwoods: that set was a thang of bewtay!
	🛎 1:58pm Phillippe: Nothing like getting pulled into a 2 hours surprise meeting to make one appreciate returning to the tuneage and hearing Bennie and the Jets! sanity returns!
	1:58pm Marie in Chicago: Hey, tuned in just before Bennie--love it. So great that it is live--I think that makes it. Hi Mary, hi All!
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: Despite sounding as though recorded live, the song was actually recorded in studio, with live sound effects added in later. Producer Gus Dudgeon explained: For some weird reason, Elton happened to have hit the opening piano chord of the song exactly one bar before the song actually started.
	2:02pm Mary Wing: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:58 Hi Marie!
	🛎 2:02pm Phillippe: ...and late proper hellos to Marie, chris, adam, handy, chresti, kfhp, tom tom, hubig, rw, coel, spodi, rf, rev turnip, andrew, S&M&S, unpopular fred, regular fred, 3 moons, and anyone I m issed
	🛎 2:03pm Handy Haversack: Greets, Phillippe!
	2:03pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 stressful times I guess, I hope Radio is doing OK and Voltron is tolerating him
	🛎 2:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Phillippe!
	2:04pm tom tom the pipers son: hello phillippe
	🛎 2:05pm Mxter Baba: Hi, Mary and folx—Digging it! As a wee child, I would listen to the "GYBR" album over and over, losing myself in the gatefold illustrated lyrics…
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Paul Young" ha! luv it,,
	🛎 2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Elton John" I'm already imagining the steel drums cover.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Hi Mary and 100% crew!
	2:08pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:05 Good morning Bababeekins! Me too, loved that gatefold layout!
	2:09pm Mary Wing: ↳ doctorjazz @2:07 Hi doctorjazz! Just in time for 3oak!
	2:10pm tom tom the pipers son: funny how benny is attracting these show bizzy renditions
	🛎 2:11pm Mxter Baba: I DARE someone to cover it without the stuttering refrain!
	🛎 2:14pm Phillippe: Exciting times over here! My middle son is doing the stage walk this weekend for his college diploma. He technically graduated in December, but the school is small (U of ME) so they only do stage walks in the spring for on-line students. He dealt with some serious mental health issues (I know I talked about them when he graduated, so I will spare you the deets), but he spent 10 years pushing through them to get the paper. Graduated magna cum laude to boot! Proud papa moment!
	🛎 2:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Huzzah! Phillippe!
	🛎 2:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Very nice. Great success in the future!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Excellent news, Phillippe! Will the entire family be there to cheer him?
	2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: this makes me wonder if there's a norah jones version coming up
	2:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 congrats to you and your son
	2:17pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 No Norah Jones cover, as far as I can tell, anyway.
	2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @2:17 ah...nicely varied so far...
	🛎 2:19pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 wonderful! congrats!
	🛎 2:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:03 They're snoozing on two of my flanks!
	🛎 2:20pm Phillippe: Thanks everyone! We are all heading up to beautiful(?) Orono Maine for the ceremony, except my eldest and 94 yr old mama. They will be watching the simulcast and cheering from afar.
	🛎 2:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Nice! Congrats all around!
	2:21pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Sara Beth" 🤌
	🛎 2:22pm Mxter Baba: True story: When I first heard of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (age 10), I thought that was the band this song was about
	🛎 2:23pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:22 age 12, actually!
	2:24pm Marie in Chicago: Another great song choice. Really enjoying hearing these different interpretations
	2:24pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 that's great, Phillippe! congrats to you both!
	2:25pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:01 Oh, very interesting. So that one note off still remains right? Like it sounds like it and that really adds to it, IMO
	2:25pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:22 Heh! Joanie and the Jetts?
	🛎 2:26pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:24 thanks! (you too Handy!). Now we just need to get the guys moving on significant others and grandbabies before we get too old to enjoy them! 67 looms next week...
	2:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:25 yes and that one note is what convinces people it's live
	2:30pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:27 Even back then, I didn't think it was live, because the cheering seems to precisely come in and out every time, heh.
	🛎 2:31pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "University Of Delaware D... oooh, this one has style!
	2:32pm Dean: These Delaware "kids" are phenomenal. I recently heard an a capella group at Cal perform Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," also fantastic, never mind that the song, like this Elton John, appeared in ancient times.
	🛎 2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Pickin' On Series" 🪕!
	2:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @2:30 yes that's true, but it apparently did fool a lot of people for there to be an internet entry for the topic
	2:34pm Mary Wing: ↳ Dean @2:32 Hey there Dean! Yeah, those crazy kids are singing all the oldies, heh!
	2:35pm Dean: One of the vocalists in the Cal group reminded me that "music transcends generations."
	🛎 2:44pm Hubig Pie: This song lends itself to the lounge treatment. Hello fellow May baby Phillippe.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Freedy Johnston" ;- )
	2:53pm Dean: Can't not play Biz Markie, right?
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Phillippe @2:20 Congratulations Phillippe and family! (had siminar issues with younger daughter in College, and were happy she made it thrrough for similar reasons)
	2:54pm Marie in Chicago: I would love to hear a version by this of Prince. I'm sure it would excel.
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks Mary!
	🛎 2:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mary! Gotta Jet ...
	🛎 2:56pm Phillippe: ↳ doctorjazz @2:53 Thanks doc! That perseverance is as much to be celebrated as the accomplishment, if not more
	2:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:54 yes i can hear that if it doesn't exist already
	🛎 2:57pm Phillippe: Thanks so much Mary! (I wonder if this is an omen that someone on the flight crew tomorrow will be named Bennie...)
	🛎 2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mary. Imagine how different the world would be if Bennie was in the Sharks instead.
	2:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks mary... nice 3oak
	🛎 2:58pm Phillippe: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:44 We are just a day or too apart, right? I'm the 7th
	🛎 2:59pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Phillippe @2:58 Yep , you and Gabby Hayes on the 7th Me and Willie Mays on the 6th.
	🛎 2:59pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mary!
	3:00pm Mary Wing: Thanks for listening!!
	3:01pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, Mary!
	3:02pm spodiodi: thanks, Mary!

	12:37pm tom tom the pipers son: stork played a bunch of blossom dearie this past sunday
	🛎 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Gah, just got back from walking the pup and almost missed Blossom Dearie! This after missing a couple of hours of BD on Sunday!
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:36 olá chris!

	12:41pm Mary Wing: ↳ spodiodi @12:40 Aloha spodiodio!
	🛎 12:42pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Coming Down" by "Dum Dum Girls" Nice.
	12:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @12:39 nice, related on storks playlist that i had the impression that i got from who knows where, a dream maybe, that blossom dearie was meredith monk's mother, any way stork said he wanted to believe the 'make believe' relationship

	12:45pm Mary Wing: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:42 Hola Hubig! I <3 Dum Dum Girls!
	12:48pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:44 Heh, that reminds me of the time back in the 80s when I told someone that Queen Latifah's father was Muhammad Ali; have NO idea where I heard that originally!

	🛎 12:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "2 Letter 'PN'" by "unknown woman" Mary, do you ever worry one of these will wake up some sleeper agent? cuz i do.
	12:56pm Mary Wing: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:55 I used to, but these are all so old that surely the agents have died by now, heh.
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:38 greetings tom tom
	12:58pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mary Wing @12:56 Although, what if some old guy goes ballistic at the senior center?
	12:58pm adamdoesit: Hooray hooray, it's Mary Wing day! Hello, boids of a feathuh.
	12:58pm rw: Muhammad Ali is Queen Latifah's dad??
	🛎 12:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:54 "Pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan, this is Coast Guard Center New York, Coast Guard Center New York ..."
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @12:40 greetings spodiodi!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @12:58 olá adam
	🛎 1:01pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:59 Right. One step below mayday radio signal.
	1:04pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:01 Hey cøel!
	🛎 1:06pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:01 So someone was telling the world to be aware there is no teddy bear.
	1:08pm Mary Wing: ↳ adamdoesit @12:58 Hi adamdoesit!
	1:09pm Mary Wing: ↳ rw @12:58 Heh, no, rw. I was spreading lies in the pre-internet age, 'cause how would anyone prove it back then?
	1:12pm adamdoesit: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:01 News to me. There's a Fats Waller song from 1942-ish called Pan-Pan, but there the phrase (and refrain) refers to some poor schlub's unattractive face. I wonder if they're related somehow.
	1:16pm rw: ↳ Mary Wing @1:09 Well, I'm going to continue spreading it. If the opportunity arises. A little disinformation never hurt anyone. I'll be sure to cite you as a reference.
	🛎 1:17pm Hubig Pie: ↳ adamdoesit @1:12 I heard it a lot during my Coast Guard career. Usually a captain sending out a call that his ship has mechanical issues but not a "I'm at death's door!" type deal.
	1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:12 there used to be a restaurant in harlem named pan pan on 135th& malcolmx blvd
	1:18pm rw: ↳ Mary Wing @1:09 Yesterday at work the running joke was, "I wish there was a way to find out" (whether this or that actor played on this or that TV show)
	🛎 1:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:17 Yeah, Coast Guard around here uses it to alert mariners to hazards or to request reports and aid if there's been a distress call. "Mayday" gets all the rescue boats out. "Pan-pan" is more "I've dropped my paddles overboard."
	1:22pm tom tom the pipers son: pan pan...lenox ave ny1.com...
	1:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:20 funny a diner would have that name but perhaps there's some other transliteration
	🛎 1:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:20 Have you had to make that call on one of your 20-man canoe rides on the East River? Surely someone always drops a paddle or two.
	1:29pm adamdoesit: I would totally eat at the Mayday Diner. Try the chili.
	1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:29 5 alarm i'm guessing
	1:32pm adamdoesit: Here's a tribute to my favorite departed Harlem diner, the M&G. Old fashion but good! www.harlemworldmagazine.com...
	🛎 1:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "French Pastry" by "The Band Whose Name Is A Symbo... This was from Michele? It was a JAMMER!
	1:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @1:32 nice the jukebox must have been a thing to behold....pan pan had a unique counter and seating
	🛎 1:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Note to whatever: Bandcamp Friday this week. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	1:43pm chresti: ↳ rw @1:16 Ms Info?
	🛎 1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:29 I have never had to make a distress call. There was a capsize years ago, and they must have put out a pan-pan because the cops came buzzing into the creek, missing the capsized canoe entirely (and slowing down their self-rescue efforts with their idiotically massive wake). I make a LOT of security calls, but I have never had to make a distress call and hope that continues, inshallah.
	1:49pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Sundowning" by "Ahleuchatistas" And Ah-Leu-Cha is a Charlie Parker composition, and, well, I gotta go. Thank you, DJ Mary!
	🛎 1:50pm chris in the redwoods: that set was a thang of bewtay!
	🛎 1:58pm Phillippe: Nothing like getting pulled into a 2 hours surprise meeting to make one appreciate returning to the tuneage and hearing Bennie and the Jets! sanity returns!
	1:58pm Marie in Chicago: Hey, tuned in just before Bennie--love it. So great that it is live--I think that makes it. Hi Mary, hi All!
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: Despite sounding as though recorded live, the song was actually recorded in studio, with live sound effects added in later. Producer Gus Dudgeon explained: For some weird reason, Elton happened to have hit the opening piano chord of the song exactly one bar before the song actually started.
	2:02pm Mary Wing: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:58 Hi Marie!
	🛎 2:02pm Phillippe: ...and late proper hellos to Marie, chris, adam, handy, chresti, kfhp, tom tom, hubig, rw, coel, spodi, rf, rev turnip, andrew, S&M&S, unpopular fred, regular fred, 3 moons, and anyone I m issed
	🛎 2:03pm Handy Haversack: Greets, Phillippe!
	2:03pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 stressful times I guess, I hope Radio is doing OK and Voltron is tolerating him
	🛎 2:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Phillippe!
	2:04pm tom tom the pipers son: hello phillippe
	🛎 2:05pm Mxter Baba: Hi, Mary and folx—Digging it! As a wee child, I would listen to the "GYBR" album over and over, losing myself in the gatefold illustrated lyrics…
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Paul Young" ha! luv it,,
	🛎 2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Elton John" I'm already imagining the steel drums cover.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Hi Mary and 100% crew!
	2:08pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:05 Good morning Bababeekins! Me too, loved that gatefold layout!
	2:09pm Mary Wing: ↳ doctorjazz @2:07 Hi doctorjazz! Just in time for 3oak!
	2:10pm tom tom the pipers son: funny how benny is attracting these show bizzy renditions
	🛎 2:11pm Mxter Baba: I DARE someone to cover it without the stuttering refrain!
	🛎 2:14pm Phillippe: Exciting times over here! My middle son is doing the stage walk this weekend for his college diploma. He technically graduated in December, but the school is small (U of ME) so they only do stage walks in the spring for on-line students. He dealt with some serious mental health issues (I know I talked about them when he graduated, so I will spare you the deets), but he spent 10 years pushing through them to get the paper. Graduated magna cum laude to boot! Proud papa moment!
	🛎 2:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Huzzah! Phillippe!
	🛎 2:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Very nice. Great success in the future!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Excellent news, Phillippe! Will the entire family be there to cheer him?
	2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: this makes me wonder if there's a norah jones version coming up
	2:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 congrats to you and your son
	2:17pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:16 No Norah Jones cover, as far as I can tell, anyway.
	2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @2:17 ah...nicely varied so far...
	🛎 2:19pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 wonderful! congrats!
	🛎 2:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:03 They're snoozing on two of my flanks!
	🛎 2:20pm Phillippe: Thanks everyone! We are all heading up to beautiful(?) Orono Maine for the ceremony, except my eldest and 94 yr old mama. They will be watching the simulcast and cheering from afar.
	🛎 2:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 Nice! Congrats all around!
	2:21pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Sara Beth" 🤌
	🛎 2:22pm Mxter Baba: True story: When I first heard of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (age 10), I thought that was the band this song was about
	🛎 2:23pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:22 age 12, actually!
	2:24pm Marie in Chicago: Another great song choice. Really enjoying hearing these different interpretations
	2:24pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:14 that's great, Phillippe! congrats to you both!
	2:25pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:01 Oh, very interesting. So that one note off still remains right? Like it sounds like it and that really adds to it, IMO
	2:25pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:22 Heh! Joanie and the Jetts?
	🛎 2:26pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:24 thanks! (you too Handy!). Now we just need to get the guys moving on significant others and grandbabies before we get too old to enjoy them! 67 looms next week...
	2:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:25 yes and that one note is what convinces people it's live
	2:30pm Mary Wing: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:27 Even back then, I didn't think it was live, because the cheering seems to precisely come in and out every time, heh.
	🛎 2:31pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "University Of Delaware D... oooh, this one has style!
	2:32pm Dean: These Delaware "kids" are phenomenal. I recently heard an a capella group at Cal perform Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," also fantastic, never mind that the song, like this Elton John, appeared in ancient times.
	🛎 2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Pickin' On Series" 🪕!
	2:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mary Wing @2:30 yes that's true, but it apparently did fool a lot of people for there to be an internet entry for the topic
	2:34pm Mary Wing: ↳ Dean @2:32 Hey there Dean! Yeah, those crazy kids are singing all the oldies, heh!
	2:35pm Dean: One of the vocalists in the Cal group reminded me that "music transcends generations."
	🛎 2:44pm Hubig Pie: This song lends itself to the lounge treatment. Hello fellow May baby Phillippe.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bennie And The Jets" by "Freedy Johnston" ;- )
	2:53pm Dean: Can't not play Biz Markie, right?
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Phillippe @2:20 Congratulations Phillippe and family! (had siminar issues with younger daughter in College, and were happy she made it thrrough for similar reasons)
	2:54pm Marie in Chicago: I would love to hear a version by this of Prince. I'm sure it would excel.
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks Mary!
	🛎 2:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mary! Gotta Jet ...
	🛎 2:56pm Phillippe: ↳ doctorjazz @2:53 Thanks doc! That perseverance is as much to be celebrated as the accomplishment, if not more
	2:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:54 yes i can hear that if it doesn't exist already
	🛎 2:57pm Phillippe: Thanks so much Mary! (I wonder if this is an omen that someone on the flight crew tomorrow will be named Bennie...)
	🛎 2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mary. Imagine how different the world would be if Bennie was in the Sharks instead.
	2:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks mary... nice 3oak
	🛎 2:58pm Phillippe: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:44 We are just a day or too apart, right? I'm the 7th
	🛎 2:59pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Phillippe @2:58 Yep , you and Gabby Hayes on the 7th Me and Willie Mays on the 6th.
	🛎 2:59pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mary!
