	9:54am Katie \| Toronto: This is beautiful I am crying

	10:09am Sem Chumbo: Soulful David C. I miss the bus, truly.

	10:11am Joe McG: @Sem: I want that bus. :)
	10:12am Sem Chumbo: Road trip w/ Joe! You're either on the bus or off the bus!
	10:12am pantz: @Hughie If that's real, I WANT IT!!!
	10:13am Adriana: Wow. I'm dyeing some clothes and thinking about the Partridge Family episode where Danny takes a sip from a pot on the stove and asks what's cooking. The mom replies "Keith's pants." And then boom you play a Partridge Family track!
	👻 10:14am Hughie Considine: ha! I was just gettin' fanciful, @Pantz, but oh, what a concept!
	10:14am mauri: Im running behind the bus
	10:14am Joe McG: @Adriana: Ha ha ha!
	👻 10:17am Hughie Considine: This is surely the best 'performance' on the Langley School comp. Heartbreaking!!
	10:17am melinda: I love the Langley Schools Project.
	10:20am steveo: I love when Joe gets like this.
	👻 10:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Usually, Eagles' songs are met with barf emojis around here, but that was a good way to slip one in there.
	10:22am melinda: Haha Ken
	10:22am Joe McG: @steveo: I love this version. They're doing it live, too!
	10:23am melinda: This really is a great cover.
	10:23am annie: that movie's review, Pantz, reminds me of "Saint Vincent" with bill murray. i'll have to watch it. thanks
	10:23am Sem Chumbo: Like the way the drums are mixed right up front.
	10:23am steveo: raises the hair on the back of my neck
	10:24am bonneville73: I like this more than the Boston original!
	10:24am Steve: Joe, was this high school version of More than a Feeling recorded this year or in the 70's ? Good version. Almost has a musical feel to it.
	10:25am Joe McG: @Steve: I'm pretty sure it was around the time when it was popular. @bonneville: I do, too! Something about the poignant feeling of loss and nostalgia in the lyric really hits home when you hear high school kids singing it.
	10:27am βrian: Just spent a week in the woods of norther Wisconsin, haunted by the Buddy Scott Trio. Damn Station Manager Ken!
	10:29am annie: my most memorable high school chorus somgs were the songs from "Man of La Mancha".. and actually all through elementary and into high school, i had been in love with many of those schlocky lyrics..
	10:30am fred: Good morning Joe and all. Got some computer scare, so I couldn't check in earlier. I really need to buy a new one. I guess 12 years is enough
	10:31am steve: i just love that Twilight Nuages. but what's a nuage?

	10:31am fred: @steve: nuage is French for cloud
	10:31am steveo: the partridge track was pretty great too. almost as gritty and the animals :)
	10:32am steveo: *as
	10:33am pantz: @annie No problem. It tugs at the heartstrings. If you like it, pick up Frederik Backman's "My Grandmother Asked Me To Say She's Sorry"
	10:33am SeanG: great set Joe!!
	10:33am steve: thank you fred!
	10:35am djsheilab: Morning Joe! Looks like I missed a great set. In time for single file though!
	10:35am Joe McG: @SeanG: Thanks, that was a lot of fun! @SB: I just name dropped you, ha ha! Happy Monday, Sheila!
	10:35am Itzall Ablurr: Jim Dandy Mangrum-style, Boyee.
	👻 10:36am Ken From Hyde Park: I was going to suggest that nuage was a reference to New Age music, like Enya & Yanni, but I'll trust fred's translation over that.
	10:40am SeanG: gonna turn this one up!
	10:41am Joe McG: Ain't you wanna turn this up?
	10:41am frenchee: It's a game I play with Joe Mc's Show How long before I absotively, posilutely MUST comment the answer: Kleenex

	10:53am Mark in Toronto: Funny reference to "Stony Burke", a rodeo TV western starring Jack Lord.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Mark: I didn't catch that reference, so thanks, Mark! Funny record!
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Do we know who the musicians were that did the Hardy Boys music?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Mark: They were a real group! Here's info: www.popgeekheaven.com...
	10:58am pantz: Lene Lovich has a Motels vibe.
	10:58am Mark in Toronto: Thanks Joe. By the way, t-shirt arrived safely last week.

	11:08am Davee: I love the Old Codger!
	11:10am Chud: What the what? What about Jodorowski?

	11:16am Chud: Word the fuck up
	11:19am Joe McG: For info about Marc, check out his website: www.marcjonson.com... There's an excellent interview posted there to give you more detail about what we didn't have time to go into today.
	11:30am annie: the mystery appendage on the cable wire is......... a torn branch from the windy storm!! dried leaves and such
	11:32am Joe McG: @annie: What a relief! I thought maybe you were the first front of the alien invasion. ;)
	11:36am annie: i was hoping it was something cool like a swarm of bees, or a huge paper-wasp nest... next time, joe...
	11:40am Joe McG: @annie: We had a swarm of bees here in our volunteer office a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't so much fun!
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: This story would make a good movie! Or one of those TV series things that SM Ken highlights.
	11:42am Joe McG: I agree, Ken! Marc has a heckuva story.
	11:45am Brendan: Nice interview. I was gonna say props to your the MFMU recording engineer on those songs, but it sounds like Marc's got a lot to do with it too. Warm , intimate fidelity suits the songs.
	11:47am annie: it's pretty intimidating, those swarms.. the blessing is that when bees swarm, they are surprisingly docile as group, from what i hear.. i had a swarm in the tree on my property long ago. they were fixated... a fascinating event, really..
	11:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: Thanks! I talked to Marc for a long time and could only include some of it. He toured Spain last year and it looks as if Munster in Spain will be reissuing "Years" and "12 in a Room" on vinyl soon! Thanks to Marc and Engineer Glenn for a nice, warm sound.
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: What became of Pure Prairie League?
	11:49am Sem Chumbo: Engrossing time w/ Mr/ Jonson. Thanks, Joe, and catch you next time...provided I don't miss the bus.
	11:49am Mick: Such an interesting interview - thanks Joe!
	11:49am Joe McG: @Ken: It boggles the mind to wonder what they may have sounded like had Marc produced them instead!
	11:51am Sem Chumbo: @KfHP: still touring, it seems. pureprairieleague.com...
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Mick and Sem. I wish I hadn't blathered so much at the beginning of the hour since I wanted to play more Marc songs! I'll slip a couple in in upcoming weeks.
	👻 11:56am tadpoles: Thanks again for another excellent show Joe. Makes my Monday morning.
	11:57am annie: glad to hear the show live, joe.. have a good week!!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:59am Brendan: See ya

	10:01am Stay Frosty: I can't believe that I missed Yes. Disappointed...
	10:05am Joe McG: @pantz: I liked that film! @Frosty: It may be a one-time only! :)
	10:09am Sem Chumbo: Soulful David C. I miss the bus, truly.
	👻 10:11am Hughie Considine: Bracing myself for Lenny & the Squigtones' version of "Midnight at the Oasis"
	10:11am Joe McG: @Sem: I want that bus. :)
	10:12am Sem Chumbo: Road trip w/ Joe! You're either on the bus or off the bus!
	10:12am pantz: @Hughie If that's real, I WANT IT!!!
	10:13am Adriana: Wow. I'm dyeing some clothes and thinking about the Partridge Family episode where Danny takes a sip from a pot on the stove and asks what's cooking. The mom replies "Keith's pants." And then boom you play a Partridge Family track!
	👻 10:14am Hughie Considine: ha! I was just gettin' fanciful, @Pantz, but oh, what a concept!
	10:14am mauri: Im running behind the bus
	10:14am Joe McG: @Adriana: Ha ha ha!
	👻 10:17am Hughie Considine: This is surely the best 'performance' on the Langley School comp. Heartbreaking!!
	10:17am melinda: I love the Langley Schools Project.
	10:20am steveo: I love when Joe gets like this.
	👻 10:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Usually, Eagles' songs are met with barf emojis around here, but that was a good way to slip one in there.
	10:22am melinda: Haha Ken
	10:22am Joe McG: @steveo: I love this version. They're doing it live, too!
	10:23am melinda: This really is a great cover.
	10:23am annie: that movie's review, Pantz, reminds me of "Saint Vincent" with bill murray. i'll have to watch it. thanks
	10:23am Sem Chumbo: Like the way the drums are mixed right up front.
	10:23am steveo: raises the hair on the back of my neck
	10:24am bonneville73: I like this more than the Boston original!
	10:24am Steve: Joe, was this high school version of More than a Feeling recorded this year or in the 70's ? Good version. Almost has a musical feel to it.
	10:25am Joe McG: @Steve: I'm pretty sure it was around the time when it was popular. @bonneville: I do, too! Something about the poignant feeling of loss and nostalgia in the lyric really hits home when you hear high school kids singing it.
	10:27am βrian: Just spent a week in the woods of norther Wisconsin, haunted by the Buddy Scott Trio. Damn Station Manager Ken!
	10:29am annie: my most memorable high school chorus somgs were the songs from "Man of La Mancha".. and actually all through elementary and into high school, i had been in love with many of those schlocky lyrics..
	10:30am fred: Good morning Joe and all. Got some computer scare, so I couldn't check in earlier. I really need to buy a new one. I guess 12 years is enough
	10:31am steve: i just love that Twilight Nuages. but what's a nuage?
	10:31am melinda: "I've done that already, never mind" haha
	10:31am fred: @steve: nuage is French for cloud
	10:31am steveo: the partridge track was pretty great too. almost as gritty and the animals :)
	10:32am steveo: *as
	10:33am pantz: @annie No problem. It tugs at the heartstrings. If you like it, pick up Frederik Backman's "My Grandmother Asked Me To Say She's Sorry"
	10:33am SeanG: great set Joe!!
	10:33am steve: thank you fred!
	10:35am djsheilab: Morning Joe! Looks like I missed a great set. In time for single file though!
	10:35am Joe McG: @SeanG: Thanks, that was a lot of fun! @SB: I just name dropped you, ha ha! Happy Monday, Sheila!
	10:35am Itzall Ablurr: Jim Dandy Mangrum-style, Boyee.
	👻 10:36am Ken From Hyde Park: I was going to suggest that nuage was a reference to New Age music, like Enya & Yanni, but I'll trust fred's translation over that.
	10:40am SeanG: gonna turn this one up!
	10:41am Joe McG: Ain't you wanna turn this up?

	10:53am Mark in Toronto: Funny reference to "Stony Burke", a rodeo TV western starring Jack Lord.
	10:55am Joe McG: @Mark: I didn't catch that reference, so thanks, Mark! Funny record!
	10:55am Mark in Toronto: Do we know who the musicians were that did the Hardy Boys music?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Mark: They were a real group! Here's info: www.popgeekheaven.com...
	10:58am pantz: Lene Lovich has a Motels vibe.

	11:16am Chud: Word the fuck up
	11:19am Joe McG: For info about Marc, check out his website: www.marcjonson.com... There's an excellent interview posted there to give you more detail about what we didn't have time to go into today.
	11:30am annie: the mystery appendage on the cable wire is......... a torn branch from the windy storm!! dried leaves and such
	11:32am Joe McG: @annie: What a relief! I thought maybe you were the first front of the alien invasion. ;)
	11:36am annie: i was hoping it was something cool like a swarm of bees, or a huge paper-wasp nest... next time, joe...
	11:40am Joe McG: @annie: We had a swarm of bees here in our volunteer office a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't so much fun!
	👻 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: This story would make a good movie! Or one of those TV series things that SM Ken highlights.
	11:42am Joe McG: I agree, Ken! Marc has a heckuva story.
	11:45am Brendan: Nice interview. I was gonna say props to your the MFMU recording engineer on those songs, but it sounds like Marc's got a lot to do with it too. Warm , intimate fidelity suits the songs.
	11:47am annie: it's pretty intimidating, those swarms.. the blessing is that when bees swarm, they are surprisingly docile as group, from what i hear.. i had a swarm in the tree on my property long ago. they were fixated... a fascinating event, really..
	11:47am Joe McG: @Brendan: Thanks! I talked to Marc for a long time and could only include some of it. He toured Spain last year and it looks as if Munster in Spain will be reissuing "Years" and "12 in a Room" on vinyl soon! Thanks to Marc and Engineer Glenn for a nice, warm sound.
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: What became of Pure Prairie League?
	11:49am Sem Chumbo: Engrossing time w/ Mr/ Jonson. Thanks, Joe, and catch you next time...provided I don't miss the bus.
	11:49am Mick: Such an interesting interview - thanks Joe!
	11:49am Joe McG: @Ken: It boggles the mind to wonder what they may have sounded like had Marc produced them instead!
	11:51am Sem Chumbo: @KfHP: still touring, it seems. pureprairieleague.com...
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks, Mick and Sem. I wish I hadn't blathered so much at the beginning of the hour since I wanted to play more Marc songs! I'll slip a couple in in upcoming weeks.
	👻 11:56am tadpoles: Thanks again for another excellent show Joe. Makes my Monday morning.
	11:57am annie: glad to hear the show live, joe.. have a good week!!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
