Parq:

Joe, joining you for the seventh reel. So nice to find you on my radio on this cold yet welcomingly bright AM. (Foxfire spellcheck says "welcomingly" isn't a word, but what do they know?) Chock Fulla Nuts is steeping, and I'm digging the quiet sounds, thought it looks like I missed some pretty killer upbeat stuff. Ho there to Annie, Smokin, all the gang.
  11:29am
annie:

word up parq, HNY!!!
  11:30am
SmokinJ:

Happy New Year Parq! Peace.
  11:31am
Matt:

Nice show, Joe.
I'm pissed that you scooped out the Bill Parker TNKs cover, but what does a feller expect? I thought I had a private, secret relationship with that track! What's the story behind that Nathan Bell cut?
  11:32am
Joe:

Hey, Parq, thanks for the swell words. Hope the coffee gets you off to a good start! Matt, I love that version of TNK!! The Nathan Bell is from a new EP, looks self-released. It's straight-up great.
  11:42am
