Listener comments!
	11:00am Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	11:00am Michael Shelley: Congrats Frank!
	11:00am Listener Baby: I liken the comfort I receive from listening to Michael Shelley, to FDR's fireside chats. Strong, calming leadership, plain and simple. Michael Shelley 2020!!
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou! Good morning, Michael and all the Shelle Gamers!
	11:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all! Thought this might be Tribe, but I suppose Lou is more on brand :)
	11:01am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Nice to be here with you all.
	11:02am paulincc: I first thought Tribe too! Morning all.
	11:03am Pedro in Arlington: What Listener Baby said.
	11:04am Nordstrom: Oh Maharishi, I bring you Herbie Flowers
	11:05am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Michael! I hope you and your family are well!
	11:07am Earth Walker: Lou Reed !!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:08am Frank In Queens: Congrats?
	11:08am Michael Shelley: you were 1st!
	11:09am Frank In Queens: Ah yes! It is an honor, sir!
	11:09am P-90: “Four Brothers and a Drummer Friend” is, if not exactly a good possible band name, certainly a good possible album name.
	11:09am jake6573: Jerry Lee is so great it's ridiculous !
	11:09am Baja Joe: Don’t know why but Wild Side sounded sooooo good on this particular morning
	11:10am Listener Baby: I've learned from all these years of listening, that you just have to throw Frank a bone, every now and again.
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Typical Queens soonerism! Here in Brooklyn, we are reserved and dignified!
	11:10am Michael Shelley: Marley - was up from 3:30 to 5 this am. But, otherwise, we're doing well. Making the best of this shite. Thanks! & hope you are equally well.
	11:10am Michael Shelley: Kind of you Baby.
	11:11am Listener Baby: I like Frank!
	11:11am Frank In Queens: Altruism at its finest, Baby.
	11:12am Michael Shelley: Jake - post golden era, Jerry Lee had the highest ratio of good/bad of any of the early rockers - a lot of genius there!
	11:12am jake6573: The Rick Bragg book about Jerry Lee is very disappointing, Jerry Lee gives one sentence and the author goes on a long 25 page description about the south ( over and over),
	11:14am jake6573: Should we even mention when JLL comes back singing country. Off the charts great !
	11:15am jake6573: " What made Milwaukee famous made a loser out of me". Nuff said.
	11:17am Cat: love that Jerry Lee version of Feelin Good! Thanks Michael!
	11:17am PERSONATOR from Highland Park NJ: Love your show Thanks for the great tunes!

	11:22am myron feld: the kids with the mashups, i tell ya....
	11:23am Listener Baby: Hey... Live radio. Anything goes, anything can happen. Be a lot smoother if Baby prerecorded this sucker.
	11:23am JG: quarantine making us cranky but the tunes help a lot
	11:23am Joe R.: Shame that Lemon Twigs release is pushed back, not sure I understand why
	11:25am jake6573: Nice To hear JCR sing something other than harper valley, great job Mikey.
	11:26am Michael Shelley: I think they want to coordinate the release with a tour... but when autumn come there will be an avalanche of releases that were pushed back.
	11:26am Michael Shelley: OH NO...
	11:26am Michael Shelley: Who is this guy talking?
	11:27am JG: Mike, your mike!
	11:27am paul: Tell him to knock it off.
	11:27am JG: mic
	11:27am Listener Baby: This is your captain speaking...
	11:27am Handy Haversack: He sounds like a caring and knowledgeable pro to me -- let's see where this goes!
	11:28am Sea Bub: that was Ms Ded Aire's boyfren, Mr. Cross Channel
	11:28am Baja Joe: Always wanted to say this to a DJ, “Turn your radio down please.”
	11:28am vertual: It's your talkative twin phantom, Shelley Michaels
	11:29am Michael Shelley: Baby - in the toilet
	11:30am artbrau: You gotta remember to close the lid.
	11:30am myron feld: Hey, Real Don Steele, you're supposed to talk over the instrumental intro!
	11:30am Goyim in the AM: My wife just ran in the room announcing that the Kid Gulliver song sounded a lot like one of Nena's non-99 Luftballons hits, Nur Geträumt, and I think she's right!
	11:30am Michael Shelley: It's very #1
	11:31am Cat: Flintstone-feet-worthy
	11:32am Michael Shelley: I'm gonna do this EVERY WEEK!
	11:32am Michael Shelley: I blame Obama!
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Don't worry Mike, you'll eventually get the hang of "talk-ups".
	11:33am vertual: We'll call it 127 second delay
	11:34am Frank Verplanck: Mama-Ro-Neck!
	11:34am Nordstrom: Finally I know how to pronounce Mamaroneck.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Sal's. Mamaroneck. Noted!
	11:34am Gaylord Fields: @Frank: In DJ parlance, it’s called “hitting the post-post.”
	11:35am Frank In Queens: WNNNNNNNNNNNNBC!
	11:35am Michael Shelley: vertual: for the win
	11:35am Frank In Queens: Don't worry Gaylord, I'll eventually get the hang of DJ parlance.
	11:36am daniel: Michael please give us a link for this pizza! Us Jews need something to look forward to for when we can eat the leavened stuff again
	11:36am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Fortitude was awesome.
	11:37am Greg from ZONE 5: Which Twilight Zones???
	11:37am paul: The new Twilight Zone is bad.

	11:38am paul: Greg...I think he's talking about the Jordan Peele version
	11:40am daniel: Thank you Michael! Stoked to make this. Best to you and your family
	11:40am herb.nyc: Pizza? Prince St Pizza has no lines now (Manhattan). Lovely pepperoni squares, but if yr worried about sodium content...$5. -- wnyc Fresh Air reran the 2018 interview w John Prine, last night. I found the Thur NYTimes and it has his obituary.
	11:40am Rick A.: This sounds like Gloria. Did Van Morrison listen to this?
	11:40am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh. NEW Twilight Zones. <epic eyeroll>
	11:40am Michael Shelley: GZ5: Guy buys love potion for $1, Buster Keaton goes into the future, The old guy who has "what you need"
	11:41am Michael Shelley: Jordan Peele...ahhh, no
	11:41am Hackensack Slim: Love Ray Sharpe. Great shows at the Ponderosa Stomp. Glad to hear King Curtis lifted from Ray and not the other way around.
	11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Aha! Solid episodes, all. Plus "What You Need" gets extra points for mentioning Scranton, PA.
	11:42am ?: Gloria, yes. And also "Save Me" by Aretha. And The horns from "Tell Mama"?
	11:43am Dennis Diken: Go Mikey!
	11:43am Michael Shelley: We'll definitely watch more... the good ones are perfect.
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Our local wonderful pizza place somehow can't get whatever it needs for its legendary grandma pie right now. The regular pie is still excellent, but I sure would like to devour an entire grandma pie, pass out, and wake up in some magical baseball season in the future.
	11:44am Michael Shelley: Also, interesting that TV shows were 26 minutes long, and now they're 22!
	11:45am SeanG: LOVE THIS SONG
	11:45am Greg from ZONE 5: And there were like 30+ episodes per season!
	11:45am Handy Haversack: We watched the pilot ep. of Hill Street Blues last night. Kate had never seen it. She kept saying, "THIS is why my parents wouldn't let me watch the 10-o'clock shows!"
	11:45am SeanG: got this on 11 TURN IT UP
	11:45am Uncle Michael: Gaylord, I'm enjoying my best batch of Pepino/Limon yet.
	11:46am Michael Shelley: Gaylord - you're up early! What's been your average lock down rising time?
	11:48am Uncle Michael: I adore Serious Eats. It's my foodie godhead...but come on, this??? "The 12.25 ounces of water is by weight not volume."
	11:49am clarke: ay paisans!!!
	11:49am Michael Shelley: Here's the busting on Kippington Lodge: 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	11:49am lhnbt: Can I put the Kid Gulliver bandcamp on here Michael? kidgulliver1.bandcamp.com...
	11:49am clarke: what do you think of sanjay's piece??
	11:50am Michael Shelley: SURE - all links welcome
	11:50am Michael Shelley: UM- I dunno, all recipes should be idiot proof...
	11:51am SeanG: NIck Lowe the ACID HEAD hahaha
	11:51am Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I considered brewing a batch of agua fresca, but I made donuts instead.
	11:51am Uncle Michael: Michael, measure out the water by weight and by volume and compare.
	11:52am clarke: how 'bout a fresca? hmm?? Hmmm??
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Too much recipe for an apt. this size, but we are going to try to recreate the mushroom papparedelle from our favorite restaurant for "date night" tonight.
	11:52am Uncle Michael: Gaylord. It's 10 minutes...you can do both!
	11:53am Uncle Michael: I'm doing my pork tenderloin medallions with wild mushroom risotto, tonight.
	11:53am Michael Shelley: LEFTOVERS are good
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: Michael, I still keep business hours (working from home), so I go to sleep at 2 am and awake at 10 on weekdays/11 on weekends.
	11:54am Uncle Michael: I didn't choose the leftovers life, it chose me.
	11:54am clarke: unless you eat the whole batch by "mistake"
	11:54am Frank In Queens: We've been having leftovers 1-2 times a week. Depends on how many leftovers there are!
	11:54am Gaylord Fields: @Unc: Fair enough.
	11:54am CalZone!: Curtis!
	11:55am Michael Shelley: G- Sounds reasonable
	11:55am Uncle Michael: I'm just encouraging you because it's soooo good.
	11:55am Handy Haversack: "What were they before they were leftovers?" "Leftovers-to-be!"
	11:56am johnk77: drove thru ferriday, la last month even poorer and blacker than i had imagined
	11:56am Uncle Michael: I sleep from 9:30 PM to 6:00 AM....with unscheduled breaks.
	11:57am clarke: all the river towns on the louisiana side had "white flight" out to the lake properties in cotton country
	11:58am clarke: had you bypassed downtown ferriday and driven around lake st. john - you would have found a different population
	11:59am johnk77: i stayed in a campground across the river from natchez very interesting
	11:59am Frank In Queens: Does "tuning to the black keys" mean tuning a half-step down?
	11:59am Doug in JC: Curtis Mayfield guitar tuning - F#–A#–C#–F#–A#–F#
	11:59am clarke: in vidalia? another strange town
	12:00pm Doug in JC: www.premierguitar.com...
	12:00pm Michael Shelley: THANKS Doug!
	12:00pm Gaylord Fields: @Unc Michael: I have no idea what it’s like to go to bed before 1 am, unless I visit the left coast. I am on the extreme end of night owl circadian rhythms
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Yup, this checks out.
	12:01pm Doug in JC: I need to fix my guitar this weekend, I might try it out
	12:01pm johnk77: yes @clarke https://www.riverviewrvpark.com/
	12:01pm Michael Shelley: ramigabriel.wordpress.com...

	12:02pm Nordstrom: Play a Mamaroneck song now. Please.
	12:02pm clarke: hope you toured extensively in natchez!! i could actually see myself moving there - great downtown buildings just sitting there
	12:03pm Richard S: I live in New Roc!
	12:03pm Michael Shelley: For how long?
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord, I was only like that in my well-spent youth.
	12:04pm johnk77: no, the attractions had just started closing but another camper told me he had extended 5 days previous just to tour attractions and historic sites in natchez
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: good opinion, Michael
	12:05pm johnk77: also the muscle shoals recording museum closed the day before i got there;<
	12:06pm clarke: you should go back at some point - when things are open - decent bbq and home-cookin' in natchez, etc. it must be strange to be traveling during this period
	12:06pm steveo: hello! does anyone else sometimes have trouble telling the Rutles from all of the earnest Beatles copycats?
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: @Richard S.: On the day of the eclipse a couple of years back, we car-topped a canoe and launched from Pelham Bay Park, behind Orchard Beach. Spent the day paddling around the islands out from New Ro and being watched warily by the beach clubs!
	12:07pm Jonnie: Did someone just say "All the way back to 1964 with The Rutles" ??? :)
	12:08pm Richard S: @Handy Haversack - Way cool! I was stuck in the office that day....
	12:08pm KWilde: Hey that station ID sounded familiar
	12:08pm clarke: clyde can GLIDE!!
	12:08pm SeanG: yeah thanks Doug for that Mayfield article---good stuff
	12:08pm johnk77: @clarke yes many campgrounds closed and/or not taking new clients staying now for a month just west of murphy, nc
	12:09pm clarke: i can imagine - wow murphy ---....
	12:10pm clarke: murphy, NC is where that atlanta olympic bomber was living in the mountains!! yipe!
	12:11pm clarke: i LOVE LOVE LOVE western NC!!! could also see myself moving there, someday, too, ha ha
	12:11pm xip: clyde mc patter
	12:11pm Jett: Did you work on WHBI-FM?
	12:12pm Jett: WHBI became WNWK, I worked there too! Basement of the hotel on the west side.
	12:13pm clarke: nice gain structchah!!
	12:14pm johnk77: @handy orchard beach a crucible of salsa just found out andy gonzalez died rip:< @clarke beautiful here next to flottley river/fellow campers mostly well to do hillwilliams
	12:14pm Michael Shelley: WNWK 105.9 when I worked there, on Broadway near Canal
	12:15pm clarke: head up and over to the Fontana Dam area, if you get the chance - actually there is so much to see around there
	12:15pm paul: Dylan or Dillon?
	12:15pm Ross T.: Radio has always had a sense of community or at least connection among odd strangers, ever since my 8 transistor under the pillow days....
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Great story, Michael. A testament to the power of radio and music in general!
	12:16pm Jett: I guess by that time, they had moved the studios. I was there in the early eighties. The studio was uptown on Riverside Drive in the bsmt of a hotel.
	12:16pm clarke: avoid Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg like the, er, plague, tho
	12:17pm Richard S: Why do I suddenly want pizza?
	12:17pm paul: Thanks. My mother's name was Phyliss Dillon
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: I always suddenly want pizza.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: Jett - some of the guys were still around from thoes days... was Howard (a really drunk guy) the head engineer?
	12:18pm johnk77: sadly the entire nantahala national forest closed i did go to pigeon forge last year will probably not go back
	12:18pm mariano: Hi Michael, everyone.
	12:19pm clarke: yeah i remember going to pigeon forge as a kid and it was really cool - but tourist trap-y - now it is nothing like cool
	12:19pm gene sculatti: Michael, such a cool Straitjackets cut! Thanx!
	12:19pm paul: Bob Dillon was my stepdad. True story.
	12:19pm clarke: @mariano - hey you make it to gallatoire's???
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey, mariano!
	12:20pm johnk77: i was headed to asheville which i visited last year and totally dug but with campgrounds ahead of me cancelling reservations i decided to stay here for april
	12:21pm clarke: there is a nice campground right off the blue ridge parkway at asheville - supposed to be very posh
	12:22pm johnk77: buncombe? county forced campgrounds to close excitement here is riding e-bike to dollar general
	12:23pm mariano: clarke: Not yet, waiting for some outstanding funds from clients before I splurge! Got some Good Thursday gumbo z'herbes and fried chicken from Dooky Chases's though. was part of that line of cars on Orleans Ave. Hi Handy!
	12:23pm clarke: if you drive the blue ridge parkway - make sure to stop and spend time at The Graveyard area - great mtn creek hike and places to hang and read, etc
	12:23pm Corey: This Robbie Fulks is real good. Nice to hear his voice.
	12:24pm clarke: dang - haven't been to ms. dooky's in DECADES - BUT, the cost is really about the same
	12:25pm mariano: And I have a confession to make regarding the gumbo and chicken: I mentioned them during Nick Name's show, then he wrote that it was making him hungry, so I LIED and said they sucked because I felt bad for him. But in fact they were amazing!
	12:25pm WR: Thank you for another Saturday lunch time soundtrack. Take care all.
	12:25pm Jett: I don't remember Howard. The following program is presented by it's host and advertisers. I was sandwiched in between Me. Magic and Ronnie I. Don't know if you remember those guys. I remember Phil Barry had a show, so did Johnny Angel,
	12:26pm clarke: oh, i am SURE that dooky's is still fantasmic!!
	12:26pm WR: Like what's my line: I'm Hal Blaine, I play drums.
	12:26pm Jett: correction Mr.Magic
	12:26pm mariano: See clarke, mention Galatoire's and Dooky's and Dave Bartholomew starts playing ;)
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: All your truths and stories preserved forever in the amber gem that is WFMJU, mariano!
	12:27pm clarke: thass right!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: Wow, now I can't spell initialisms. Well, I'm off the clock.
	12:27pm mariano: Handy: I just don't want the ghost of Leah Chase to haunt me for badmouthing her namesake food!
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: I first heard this amazing song on FMU decades ago. Amazing what a legacy this station has had in my musical education.
	12:28pm vertual: Yes an appropriate song for the times! Yeahhhhhh
	12:28pm clarke: the ghost of leah would be the sweetest dang ghost EVER!!
	12:28pm GListener MW: !!! One of my favorite modern Costello tracks
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: It's only 26 years old!
	12:29pm Roberto: Presumably that should be "The Ape" seeing as our evolutionary ancestors were closer to apes than monkeys.
	12:29pm Mailman Tom: Excellent!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: (or 16)
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: no simian pedantry!
	12:30pm clarke: superior bass plucking
	12:30pm Roberto: Imma pedant all up in this bish.
	12:31pm johnk77: @clarke thanks for the tip robbie fulks got a nice mention at the bottom of this times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/arts/music/adam-schlesinger-songs.html
	12:31pm mariano: If I WERE a Carpenter!
	12:32pm clarke: oh and john: (if it is still open) try Lynn's Place (lunch or dinner meat'n'3) in Robbinsville, NC - another great area
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: WHOM Do You Love?!
	12:34pm clarke: there is a little park next to Lynn's - if it is to-go only
	12:35pm wild McNeil peace all: this fills guy is fulkun funny!

	12:37pm clarke: @mariano - how's ya peeps in the margny? it has been a very perilous week near the park, but surviving, so far.
	12:39pm Sparkmouthnun: The Lee Dorsey never fails.
	12:39pm Ross T.: Writing a song involving monkeys is generally a good bet.
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Those are two truths. Amen.
	12:43pm GListener MW: Eyelids’ Jay Gonzalez? Keen!
	12:44pm GListener MW: Is that a brand new single?
	12:44pm clarke: however, writing a monkey about a song is not as productive a gambling endeavour
	12:44pm mariano: All good here so far, thanks clarke. I'm in a small building with a good group of neighbors. As I predicted, I saw someone in a medieval beak mask the other day. What's going on Uptown?
	12:45pm Hams: oh, yeah!
	12:45pm clarke: my dad had to be hospitalized for non-viral issues and my mom was running a fever - which has luckily receded - WHEW!
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: JAY GONZALEZ: inflatablemusic.bandcamp.com... He's working on a new lp

	12:47pm clarke: COOL MS
	12:47pm clarke: bittersweet cool
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Oof, scary stuff, @clarke! Best wishes for speedy recoveries all around!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: I'm having leftover hatch chile/monterey jack mac and cheese with added diced ham for lunch. What are you folks having?
	12:48pm mariano: Oh man, so sorry to hear about your dad, clarke, hope he's doing better. Glad your mom's fever subsided.
	12:48pm Michael Shelley: Bitter Suite. Clarke - hang in there!
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: @Michael S, have you heard "New Jersey Rum"? Irwin has played a couple of times. Some no. 1 potential there!
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: There's a possible quesadilla in my future...
	12:49pm clarke: yeah - so far dodging bullets. on a personal level, i am having a great run at recording - if it just wasn't for the rest of the world
	12:49pm Michael Shelley: No, I'll look into it!
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Keep dodging 'em, Clarke clan.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: By Jonathan Something, @Michael. On Bandcamp.
	12:51pm johnk77: great show this lefty is a reworking of that tour wisdom of what to do between sound check and show: shit, shower, and shave
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: As lyricists, Bill Withers and John Prine had a lot in common. Discuss.
	12:51pm clarke: am sure everyone's in the same boat - thanks ya'll!!
	12:51pm paul: Joe M. did a great tribute to Bill Monday morning.
	12:52pm Greg from ZONE 5: Aww, Bill. Spent the week watching live videos of him on YouTube.

	1:01pm Listener Baby: I think it is? Maybe?
	4:52pm Mark in Toronto: No wonder you think the Donnie Young song sounds like George Jones. George Jones has the writing credit for the song!

Listener comments!
	11:00am Frank In Queens: Hey now!
	11:00am Michael Shelley: Congrats Frank!
	11:00am Listener Baby: I liken the comfort I receive from listening to Michael Shelley, to FDR's fireside chats. Strong, calming leadership, plain and simple. Michael Shelley 2020!!
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou! Good morning, Michael and all the Shelle Gamers!
	11:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Michael & all! Thought this might be Tribe, but I suppose Lou is more on brand :)
	11:01am Corey: Morning Michael and listeners! Nice to be here with you all.
	11:02am paulincc: I first thought Tribe too! Morning all.
	11:03am Pedro in Arlington: What Listener Baby said.
	11:04am Nordstrom: Oh Maharishi, I bring you Herbie Flowers

	11:09am Frank In Queens: Ah yes! It is an honor, sir!
	11:09am P-90: “Four Brothers and a Drummer Friend” is, if not exactly a good possible band name, certainly a good possible album name.
	11:09am jake6573: Jerry Lee is so great it's ridiculous !
	11:09am Baja Joe: Don’t know why but Wild Side sounded sooooo good on this particular morning
	11:10am Listener Baby: I've learned from all these years of listening, that you just have to throw Frank a bone, every now and again.
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Typical Queens soonerism! Here in Brooklyn, we are reserved and dignified!
	11:10am Michael Shelley: Marley - was up from 3:30 to 5 this am. But, otherwise, we're doing well. Making the best of this shite. Thanks! & hope you are equally well.
	11:10am Michael Shelley: Kind of you Baby.
	11:11am Listener Baby: I like Frank!
	11:11am Frank In Queens: Altruism at its finest, Baby.
	11:12am Michael Shelley: Jake - post golden era, Jerry Lee had the highest ratio of good/bad of any of the early rockers - a lot of genius there!
	11:12am jake6573: The Rick Bragg book about Jerry Lee is very disappointing, Jerry Lee gives one sentence and the author goes on a long 25 page description about the south ( over and over),
	11:14am jake6573: Should we even mention when JLL comes back singing country. Off the charts great !
	11:15am jake6573: " What made Milwaukee famous made a loser out of me". Nuff said.

	11:23am JG: quarantine making us cranky but the tunes help a lot
	11:23am Joe R.: Shame that Lemon Twigs release is pushed back, not sure I understand why
	11:25am jake6573: Nice To hear JCR sing something other than harper valley, great job Mikey.

	11:26am Michael Shelley: OH NO...
	11:26am Michael Shelley: Who is this guy talking?

	11:31am Cat: Flintstone-feet-worthy

	11:33am vertual: We'll call it 127 second delay
	11:34am Frank Verplanck: Mama-Ro-Neck!
	11:34am Nordstrom: Finally I know how to pronounce Mamaroneck.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Sal's. Mamaroneck. Noted!
	11:34am Gaylord Fields: @Frank: In DJ parlance, it’s called “hitting the post-post.”

	12:15pm clarke: head up and over to the Fontana Dam area, if you get the chance - actually there is so much to see around there
	12:15pm paul: Dylan or Dillon?
	12:15pm Ross T.: Radio has always had a sense of community or at least connection among odd strangers, ever since my 8 transistor under the pillow days....
	12:16pm Frank In Queens: Great story, Michael. A testament to the power of radio and music in general!
	12:16pm Jett: I guess by that time, they had moved the studios. I was there in the early eighties. The studio was uptown on Riverside Drive in the bsmt of a hotel.
	12:16pm clarke: avoid Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg like the, er, plague, tho
	12:17pm Richard S: Why do I suddenly want pizza?
	12:17pm paul: Thanks. My mother's name was Phyliss Dillon
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: I always suddenly want pizza.
	12:17pm Michael Shelley: Jett - some of the guys were still around from thoes days... was Howard (a really drunk guy) the head engineer?
	12:18pm johnk77: sadly the entire nantahala national forest closed i did go to pigeon forge last year will probably not go back
	12:18pm mariano: Hi Michael, everyone.
	12:19pm clarke: yeah i remember going to pigeon forge as a kid and it was really cool - but tourist trap-y - now it is nothing like cool
	12:19pm gene sculatti: Michael, such a cool Straitjackets cut! Thanx!
	12:19pm paul: Bob Dillon was my stepdad. True story.
	12:19pm clarke: @mariano - hey you make it to gallatoire's???
	12:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey, mariano!
	12:20pm johnk77: i was headed to asheville which i visited last year and totally dug but with campgrounds ahead of me cancelling reservations i decided to stay here for april
	12:21pm clarke: there is a nice campground right off the blue ridge parkway at asheville - supposed to be very posh
	12:22pm johnk77: buncombe? county forced campgrounds to close excitement here is riding e-bike to dollar general
	12:23pm mariano: clarke: Not yet, waiting for some outstanding funds from clients before I splurge! Got some Good Thursday gumbo z'herbes and fried chicken from Dooky Chases's though. was part of that line of cars on Orleans Ave. Hi Handy!
	12:23pm clarke: if you drive the blue ridge parkway - make sure to stop and spend time at The Graveyard area - great mtn creek hike and places to hang and read, etc
	12:23pm Corey: This Robbie Fulks is real good. Nice to hear his voice.
	12:24pm clarke: dang - haven't been to ms. dooky's in DECADES - BUT, the cost is really about the same
	12:25pm mariano: And I have a confession to make regarding the gumbo and chicken: I mentioned them during Nick Name's show, then he wrote that it was making him hungry, so I LIED and said they sucked because I felt bad for him. But in fact they were amazing!
	12:25pm WR: Thank you for another Saturday lunch time soundtrack. Take care all.
	12:25pm Jett: I don't remember Howard. The following program is presented by it's host and advertisers. I was sandwiched in between Me. Magic and Ronnie I. Don't know if you remember those guys. I remember Phil Barry had a show, so did Johnny Angel,
	12:26pm clarke: oh, i am SURE that dooky's is still fantasmic!!
	12:26pm WR: Like what's my line: I'm Hal Blaine, I play drums.
	12:26pm Jett: correction Mr.Magic
	12:26pm mariano: See clarke, mention Galatoire's and Dooky's and Dave Bartholomew starts playing ;)
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: All your truths and stories preserved forever in the amber gem that is WFMJU, mariano!

	12:27pm Handy Haversack: Wow, now I can't spell initialisms. Well, I'm off the clock.
	12:27pm mariano: Handy: I just don't want the ghost of Leah Chase to haunt me for badmouthing her namesake food!
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: I first heard this amazing song on FMU decades ago. Amazing what a legacy this station has had in my musical education.
	12:28pm vertual: Yes an appropriate song for the times! Yeahhhhhh
	12:28pm clarke: the ghost of leah would be the sweetest dang ghost EVER!!
	12:28pm GListener MW: !!! One of my favorite modern Costello tracks
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: It's only 26 years old!
	12:29pm Roberto: Presumably that should be "The Ape" seeing as our evolutionary ancestors were closer to apes than monkeys.
	12:29pm Mailman Tom: Excellent!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: (or 16)
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: no simian pedantry!

	12:39pm Sparkmouthnun: The Lee Dorsey never fails.
	12:39pm Ross T.: Writing a song involving monkeys is generally a good bet.
	12:41pm Michael Shelley: Those are two truths. Amen.
	12:43pm GListener MW: Eyelids’ Jay Gonzalez? Keen!
	12:44pm GListener MW: Is that a brand new single?
	12:44pm clarke: however, writing a monkey about a song is not as productive a gambling endeavour
	12:44pm mariano: All good here so far, thanks clarke. I'm in a small building with a good group of neighbors. As I predicted, I saw someone in a medieval beak mask the other day. What's going on Uptown?

	12:49pm Handy Haversack: @Michael S, have you heard "New Jersey Rum"? Irwin has played a couple of times. Some no. 1 potential there!
