	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Stanley was that at Hank's Greasy Spoon?
	11:26am sashajones: This is a really lovely set for New Years Day
	11:27am Stanley: Hi Brian, unfortunately Hank's is closed today, so I had to rustle it up myself. Of course, I managed to set off the smoke alarm.
	11:28am annie: i see i missed the party! sorry to be late; just moving from the pet-sit to home. i DID catch the wwoz hank tribute this morning before nne, though. i'm sure that counts. HNY!!!
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks, Sasha, glad you're keeping me company. :) Happy New Year, Annie!
	11:30am Dean: Might be sacrilege, but it'd be fun to hear one of the Residents' covers of a HW tune...
	11:32am Stevel: Dean: I would not object to that as well. Either way, Joe McG is a top notch way to open up a new year.
	11:33am fred: Nice Hank Williams set. The album title "Hank Williams, Sr. Live at the Grand Ole Opry" is a little depressing though, as it hints at the existence of a Jr
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Bocephus as Hank called his son.
	11:35am Dean: Come to think of it, sacrilege is usually fun.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @Dean and often quite cheap.
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy New Year, Joey!
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: You cannot see but I am wearing a cardigan that my dear wife has knitted for me. She only started it about ten years ago.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: He defined the term thin as a rail.
	11:41am Gaylord Fields: It's absolutely astounding to think that Hank never even made it to 30, yet he still wrote one of the most definitive bodies of songs of any songwriter in the 20th century.
	11:42am Sem: Yes, TVZ. Thanks, Joe.
	11:43am dez: such a great final hour today, joe!
	11:44am Joe McG: Happy New Year, Gaylord! @dez: Thanks! I could play Hank Williams records all day.
	11:47am annie: love townes, a cafe i worked at, the owner played non-stop townes close to four to five hours a day. the chef almost quit. i admit it was a little too much. but he's fine in small doses
	11:48am Dean: Townes' live album from the Old Quarter is not only a record of great performances, but also one of the best sounding albums ever.
	11:48am KP: Rick Nelson i think was killed in a New Year's plane crash
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Dean. Townes jokes notwithstanding.
	11:49am KP: I saw him like out on LI about two weeks previous. It was quite a shock
	11:49am Joe McG: @KP: I forgot about that. I should have brought one of the Stone Canyon Band LPs. What a shame.
	11:50am Dean: Yeah, but the thing, Brian in UK, is that the recording of those jokes is utterly faithful.
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG: And it would not surprise you that I could hear Hank Williams records all day — but TVZ is quite the consolation prize. Thanks for being the first best thing in 2018!
	11:55am annie: even half an hour of surface noise is fine..thanks joe, on to the archives!!
	11:56am listener 126464: Thanks DJ!
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: Joe, you could do a whole show of artists influenced by Townes. If the rest of the year is like this show, 2018 should be copacetic.
	11:57am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Gaylord! And thanks, annie. Have a great day everyone and I hope the first week of the new year treats you well. I'll see you next Monday!
	11:57am Dean: Heck, yeah. Jimmy LaFave, for one.
	11:59am Stanley: Thanks Joe. All the best for 2018
	👻 11:59am officina: Happy New Year Joe ! Looking forward to another year of great shows.....
	👻 12:01am 12539: Belated thanks, Joe!

	10:25am Aaron Working In Newark: I like where we are heading here...

	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: I remember seeing this in the import racks around 1968/9. I bought Appletree Theatre instead.

	10:44am Listener Alexandra: You are one of the people I'm always grateful for, Joe. You manage to make Mondays more beautiful, funkier and sometimes weirder--and always just a little more wonderful. Thanks for steering us through another year!

	11:19am Mick: Happy New Year Joe and all! Here's to 2018
	11:21am AS from MP: The Hank segment = excellent; I think Laura Cantrell was the one? Miss her on the radio
	11:22am KP: Happy New Year, Joe & ol' Hank
	11:22am Stanley: I'm back after a plate of: Bacon Sausages Black pudding Fried egg Baked beans Mushrooms Fried tomato Potato scones Yus! Now I won't have to eat until February.
	11:23am Joe McG: Happy new year, Mick, KP !@AS: I think it was Laura Cantrell, I think you're right. @Stanley: Yum!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Stanley was that at Hank's Greasy Spoon?
	11:26am sashajones: This is a really lovely set for New Years Day
	11:27am Stanley: Hi Brian, unfortunately Hank's is closed today, so I had to rustle it up myself. Of course, I managed to set off the smoke alarm.
	11:28am annie: i see i missed the party! sorry to be late; just moving from the pet-sit to home. i DID catch the wwoz hank tribute this morning before nne, though. i'm sure that counts. HNY!!!
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks, Sasha, glad you're keeping me company. :) Happy New Year, Annie!
	11:30am Dean: Might be sacrilege, but it'd be fun to hear one of the Residents' covers of a HW tune...
	11:32am Stevel: Dean: I would not object to that as well. Either way, Joe McG is a top notch way to open up a new year.
	11:33am fred: Nice Hank Williams set. The album title "Hank Williams, Sr. Live at the Grand Ole Opry" is a little depressing though, as it hints at the existence of a Jr
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Bocephus as Hank called his son.
	11:35am Dean: Come to think of it, sacrilege is usually fun.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: @Dean and often quite cheap.
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy New Year, Joey!
	👻 11:38am Brian in UK: You cannot see but I am wearing a cardigan that my dear wife has knitted for me. She only started it about ten years ago.
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: He defined the term thin as a rail.
	11:41am Gaylord Fields: It's absolutely astounding to think that Hank never even made it to 30, yet he still wrote one of the most definitive bodies of songs of any songwriter in the 20th century.
	11:42am Sem: Yes, TVZ. Thanks, Joe.
	11:43am dez: such a great final hour today, joe!
	11:44am Joe McG: Happy New Year, Gaylord! @dez: Thanks! I could play Hank Williams records all day.
	11:47am annie: love townes, a cafe i worked at, the owner played non-stop townes close to four to five hours a day. the chef almost quit. i admit it was a little too much. but he's fine in small doses
	11:48am Dean: Townes' live album from the Old Quarter is not only a record of great performances, but also one of the best sounding albums ever.
	11:48am KP: Rick Nelson i think was killed in a New Year's plane crash
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Dean. Townes jokes notwithstanding.
	11:49am KP: I saw him like out on LI about two weeks previous. It was quite a shock
	11:49am Joe McG: @KP: I forgot about that. I should have brought one of the Stone Canyon Band LPs. What a shame.
	11:50am Dean: Yeah, but the thing, Brian in UK, is that the recording of those jokes is utterly faithful.
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: @Joe McG: And it would not surprise you that I could hear Hank Williams records all day — but TVZ is quite the consolation prize. Thanks for being the first best thing in 2018!
	11:55am annie: even half an hour of surface noise is fine..thanks joe, on to the archives!!
	11:56am listener 126464: Thanks DJ!
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: Joe, you could do a whole show of artists influenced by Townes. If the rest of the year is like this show, 2018 should be copacetic.
	11:57am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Gaylord! And thanks, annie. Have a great day everyone and I hope the first week of the new year treats you well. I'll see you next Monday!
	11:57am Dean: Heck, yeah. Jimmy LaFave, for one.
	11:59am Stanley: Thanks Joe. All the best for 2018
	👻 11:59am officina: Happy New Year Joe ! Looking forward to another year of great shows.....
	👻 12:01am 12539: Belated thanks, Joe!
