	8:11pm lee from nutley: bob wills please
	8:12pm mixed-pickle: Love this one! Thank you!
	8:13pm Becky: @mixed-pickle - I love your name. I just ordered some lime pickle from Kalustyan's.
	👻 8:14pm Handy Haversack: Beer and gin! Quarantini!
	8:15pm ultradamno: I'm going to go ahead and put in an advance request for next week: Paul Carnes' "Mean Mean Daddy"
	👻 8:15pm Mr. Fine Wine: I bought my first 45 at the Highland Park Sears! Same Highland Park!
	8:16pm Becky: I think I'm going to stipulate that if you request something I don't have, you have to buy and mail me the 45.
	👻 8:16pm Handy Haversack: @Mr. Fine Wine, which is it? LA?
	👻 8:17pm Mr. Fine Wine: It's an island in the middle of Detroit, alongside Hamtramck....
	8:17pm y_ddraig_las: It's certainly not Essex, England
	👻 8:18pm Handy Haversack: Ah ha! I know Hamtramck, but I don't think I know Highland Park, Detroit City.
	👻 8:19pm Mr. Fine Wine: wdet.org...
	8:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Becky...loving the show tonight, as always. Living with my pops has been a challenge being he wants news on almost always, but I manage to talk him into tunes when we eat. He was quite pleased with tonight's honky-tonk programming. Thanks you, kindly.
	8:19pm JakeGould: Brooklyn Zoo!
	👻 8:20pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Mr. P! Does he have a request?
	👻 8:20pm Mr. Fine Wine: It was Michael Jackson's "Ben," btw.
	8:20pm Scuzzball: Can you play Tear in my Beer? By the one and only hanky panky
	8:20pm efd: Sounding great, Becky!
	👻 8:20pm Mr. Fine Wine: Nice one, Pumpy.
	8:21pm I’m here in highland park: I’m here in highland park mi right now baby !
	8:21pm ultradamno: Ah, the sad rat song.
	8:21pm andrewb: ferlin # was kinda creepy but really nice slide geetar
	8:22pm DaveinPA: it looks like one of those RGGFs
	8:22pm Becky: YAY HIGHLAND PARK
	8:22pm ultradamno: Evidently, so precious it resists leaving the apartment in any form.
	8:22pm Mr. Pumpy: Yeah...apparently his request was already filled, Tucker Carlson. I'm cleaning up with the headphones blasting, and then we will do some Jeopardy. I take what I can get. It's all good. The music stimulated some nice conversation about days gone by, I don't need more than that.
	8:22pm mixed-pickle: @becky having some right now! Love the tunes!
	8:22pm Becky: Also big ups to the White Rose System in NJ's Highland Park.
	8:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Matt...if you are here, your show was a pleasant start to dinner, so I thank you for that as well.
	8:24pm Pauly from Clifton: @Becky...aahhh The System...I loved the one-eyed cheeseburger. Harkens back to my college days along the Raritan.
	8:24pm mb: @Jake: Yes. I tested positive on 3/19. Went to re-test today so i can get back to work. Feeling good. No worries. Thx.
	👻 8:25pm Handy Haversack: Good on ya, Mr. P. Hi from Kate, too.
	8:25pm ultradamno: Called that because they were good for bicycling, apparently.
	8:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhh...The System! I made many a run there back in the day. Lore had us believe a majority of the White Rose System employees were ex-cons. I do not know if this is true, but it certainly seemed it. That place has flavor. Lots of flavor.
	8:27pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @ultradamno: probably because the length was short enough not to get caught in the chain.
	8:28pm ultradamno: Yep.
	8:28pm highland parks: There are so many highland parks. Thought about covering “I’ve been every where man” and just listing “I’ve been to highland park highland park highland park highland park highland park” on the verses.
	8:29pm Becky: HA. Brilliant.
	8:29pm On the Yazoo: Howdy
	8:29pm JakeGould: @mb: My best wishes to you. I wish anti-body tests were more common by this point. Pretty positive I had it in February and would like to donate my anti-body rich plasma to someone who needs it.
	👻 8:30pm Handy Haversack: @highland parks: I like it! At the Brooklyn Johnny Cash bday bash, it was done with NYC neighborhoods.
	8:30pm Marie: Get show, Becky. Thanks!
	8:31pm Becky: @Handy By the great Alex Battles, who wrote my theme!
	8:31pm JakeGould: Wonder what the Highland Park to Springfield ratio is.
	8:31pm Mr. Pumpy: Kate! Hello, my friend. Post-venture chat again Sunday? The distance learning thang reveals itself as more sanguine than ever, as I'm sure you know. Or...OR...go on some ratty owl adventures with us for a couple hours?! Time will tell.
	8:31pm Corey: Sounding great!
	8:32pm adamp: @handy LOVED the NYC neighborhoods version! It’s gotta be hard enough learning it the original way, can’t imagine rewriting it (although maybe a little easier if it’s all just Highland Parks!)
	8:33pm y_ddraig_las: There's also Highland Park whisky, which was the first thing to come to my mind.
	8:33pm vertual: This was my dad's scene too. Was a hell raiser, but never wanted to talk much about those crazy years. But he did tell me how important Hank and all these cats are. That always stuck with me.
	8:34pm JakeGould: So basically, Hamtramck and Highland Park were tax havens for Ford and Dodge.
	8:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, creepy dudes.
	8:34pm mb: Same to you, JakeGould. I saw Mt. Sinai is doing antibody testing. Maybe they would be interested in your plasma.
	👻 8:35pm Handy Haversack: @ y_ddraig_las, yeah, that's good stuff! @Mr. P: Negotiations are ongoing -- she might be a guest star OF A SORT. @adamp: Right?! It was a highlight? Wait, Becky, "old"?!
	👻 8:35pm Handy Haversack: (Sorry, @adamp: I meant "highlight!"!)
	8:36pm JakeGould: @mb: I submitted a request to be considered for it and haven’t heard back yet. They ask if you were officially tested and I wasn’t since it happened to me before the March wave of illnesses in the U.S. So lack of testing means my plasma stays in me until someone decides, “Hey… Let’s bleed this guy…”
	8:36pm Mr. Pumpy: If I'm ever called out in a court of law...that is evidence that I distance myself from creepy dudes by thanking them. I am not self congratulatory, this will have been proven prior to that slam dunk! I think I doth preemptively protest too much.
	👻 8:37pm Handy Haversack: @Becky: Not sure it ever came out on 45, but Kate is requesting Lucinda Williams "Side of the Road" or, if only SOME LW songs were on 45, "Passionate Kisses."
	8:37pm y_ddraig_las: Love "Your Old Handy Man"
	8:38pm ultradamno: I seem to recall this ends in an amicable arrangement for all parties involved.
	8:38pm Becky: @Jake I got antibody testing at Mt Sinai without a positive coronavirus test. But, they messed it up and I have to go back.
	8:39pm Mr. Pumpy: Barlow! Yes...wonderful.
	👻 8:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: The show tonight has been an absolute delight, Becky. Your set-up is in good working order.
	8:40pm JakeGould: In other news, I witnessed my first run on food being given away by charity in my neighborhood. Some Muslim cation parked a truck and was given out 10x10 boxes of food on my corner just as I went outside. Seeing people with head scarves and face masks run to a U-Haul with arms extended and pushing and shoving. Yeah, no 6 foot distance, but people ran up, grabbed boxes and ran away in seconds. So crazy. @Becky: Welp, I still haven’t hard back from them. So hey… No idea what the deal is. I’m A+ which is very basic in the world of blood types. Who knows!
	8:41pm JakeGould: Oh! Moonshiner’s daughter and he loves her “still”…
	8:42pm Becky: @Jake I just got that when you pointed it out. Thank you.
	👻 8:43pm Handy Haversack: @Jake: Blood brother! I like to say "A+ -- blood AND grades."
	8:44pm Mr. Pumpy: @Becky...I want to send you a single and make sure you get it. Where and how?
	8:44pm Mr. Pumpy: How and where? I know why and who...and hopefully when.
	8:44pm Becky: @Pumpy - email me honkytonk@wfmu.org
	8:45pm Mr. Pumpy: danke
	8:46pm JakeGould: You’re welcome. I literally said “Oh!” out loud when I figured that out. @Handy: The only place I get an A+ consistently is in my blood! Also, when I was uninsured and I donated blood — to make sure I didn’t have anything because they screen the blood — I donated so many that I eventually became a member of the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital “Gallon Club.” This and my “Duncan Yo-Yo Champ” badge I won as a kid mean so much to me.
	8:46pm y_ddraig_las: OMB, it's so late my Twitter has turned into a US news feed.
	👻 8:48pm Handy Haversack: @Jake: YOU GOT A BADGE???!!! I have always yoed alone. But I have some cool ones. A couple of favorite Duncans -- and a Tom Kuhn No Jive!
	8:49pm JakeGould: @Handy: I got a diploma-like certificate in the mail. The same year I got some eBay “Seller Achievement” certificate as well. As you can tell, those were very happy days in my life.
	8:49pm Scott Williams: @y ddraig las, are you in Wales?
	8:50pm y_ddraig_las: Indeed I am @Scott Williams
	8:50pm Richard S: This is a WAY FUN song!
	8:50pm efd: WALES IN THE HOUSE!! WALES IN THE HOUSE!!
	👻 8:50pm Handy Haversack: @y_ddraig_las: Always glad to see you've stayed up for HTRG! (Also assuming that in Welsh "god" starts with several silent B's and a few crucial H's.)
	8:51pm JakeGould: @Handy: Oh! The Yo-Yo stuff! I got a huge patch of an eagle. Looks similar to this one: yo-yoshop.com... Wore it on my denim jacket as a 12 year old.
	8:51pm y_ddraig_las: Whales in the house and I can't get in
	8:51pm Scott Williams: EFD, Bronwyn C and I send you a hearty Iechydd da!
	👻 8:51pm Handy Haversack: BAD. ASS. @Jake.
	8:53pm y_ddraig_las: I think you are talking about OMB, O Mam Bach- literally, o little mother but used like OMG in English
	8:53pm Steve from Dunwoody: Fabulous music tonight HTGirl. Thanks for what you do. <signed> Your listener, Steve
	👻 8:53pm Handy Haversack: I am glad to learn that, @y_ddraig_las!
	8:54pm Scott Williams: I thought Iechydd da was a toast to health...?
	8:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...I hope negotiations go well. Death cults seem to call for all the resistance available.
	8:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks Becky, this is toe tappin' fun
	8:54pm Becky: Thanks for listening everybody!! This was scary but fun!
	8:54pm Richard S: Up to your usual high standards, Becky! Great work!
	8:55pm y_ddraig_las: @Scott thanks and yes, it means "Good Health" and we use it when drinking.
	👻 8:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky -- sounded great! Thanks, Scott! (Also, Scott, y_ddraig_las was referring to how he started a post with "OMB" and I made a lame joke!)
	8:55pm JakeGould: Excellent show! Thanks for the work. And tell your neighbors there are other Drifters and Ben E. King songs.
	👻 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: My mom has a bunch of LPs and 45s in her basement. She hauled them all upstairs when the ground thawed and water seeped in. I can probably send some to the station next time I'm out there, whenever that might be.
	8:55pm Mr. Pumpy: Great show and thanks.
	8:56pm radioronan: Loved the show, Becky. Thanks!
	8:56pm KidProJoe: Brilliant show tonight! Thank you so much!
	8:56pm Upstairs Neighbor: Hey keep it down!!!
	👻 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Uh oh. Kate wants me to play "treats till I bleed" with the cats. Hope I can type for efd's show ...
	8:56pm adamp: So happy you’re broadcasting live again! Thanks for a great show
	8:57pm y_ddraig_las: Top show @Becky. There's been less crackle tonight, either you have a better turntable at home or playing less worn records?
	8:57pm Corey: Thanks for the great show! Crackled with the live show energy.
	8:57pm adamp: Love that crackle, though!
	8:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Becky.
	8:58pm y_ddraig_las: Cracking crackle
	8:58pm Becky: Ha - I doubt I have better turntables but my needles are probably newer.
	8:58pm Scott Williams: Excellent show Becky, thanks! Congrats on your successful inaugural live run
	8:58pm Jett: Thanks for a tree mendous show tonight Becky. ❤️
	8:58pm Corey: Good crackled, that is.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Think there was meaning to that "Clarksville" quote in "invader"?
	8:58pm ottovonbqe: Nice show - happy to come make your neighbors an offer they can't refuse if you know what I mean.
	8:59pm y_ddraig_las: Nos da everybody
	9:00pm mr gary: great show! thanks!
	9:00pm Ben from Ridgewood: Great show!

They ask if you were officially tested and I wasn’t since it happened to me before the March wave of illnesses in the U.S. So lack of testing means my plasma stays in me until someone decides, “Hey… Let’s bleed this guy…”
	8:36pm Mr. Pumpy: If I'm ever called out in a court of law...that is evidence that I distance myself from creepy dudes by thanking them. I am not self congratulatory, this will have been proven prior to that slam dunk! I think I doth preemptively protest too much.
	👻 8:37pm Handy Haversack: @Becky: Not sure it ever came out on 45, but Kate is requesting Lucinda Williams "Side of the Road" or, if only SOME LW songs were on 45, "Passionate Kisses."
	8:37pm y_ddraig_las: Love "Your Old Handy Man"
	8:38pm ultradamno: I seem to recall this ends in an amicable arrangement for all parties involved.
	8:38pm Becky: @Jake I got antibody testing at Mt Sinai without a positive coronavirus test. But, they messed it up and I have to go back.
	8:39pm Mr. Pumpy: Barlow! Yes...wonderful.
	👻 8:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: The show tonight has been an absolute delight, Becky. Your set-up is in good working order.
	8:40pm JakeGould: In other news, I witnessed my first run on food being given away by charity in my neighborhood. Some Muslim cation parked a truck and was given out 10x10 boxes of food on my corner just as I went outside. Seeing people with head scarves and face masks run to a U-Haul with arms extended and pushing and shoving. Yeah, no 6 foot distance, but people ran up, grabbed boxes and ran away in seconds. So crazy. @Becky: Welp, I still haven’t hard back from them. So hey… No idea what the deal is. I’m A+ which is very basic in the world of blood types. Who knows!
	8:41pm JakeGould: Oh! Moonshiner’s daughter and he loves her “still”…
	8:42pm Becky: @Jake I just got that when you pointed it out. Thank you.
	👻 8:43pm Handy Haversack: @Jake: Blood brother! I like to say "A+ -- blood AND grades."
	8:44pm Mr. Pumpy: @Becky...I want to send you a single and make sure you get it. Where and how?
	8:44pm Mr. Pumpy: How and where? I know why and who...and hopefully when.
	8:44pm Becky: @Pumpy - email me honkytonk@wfmu.org
	8:45pm Mr. Pumpy: danke
	8:46pm JakeGould: You’re welcome. I literally said “Oh!” out loud when I figured that out. @Handy: The only place I get an A+ consistently is in my blood! Also, when I was uninsured and I donated blood — to make sure I didn’t have anything because they screen the blood — I donated so many that I eventually became a member of the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital “Gallon Club.” This and my “Duncan Yo-Yo Champ” badge I won as a kid mean so much to me.
	8:46pm y_ddraig_las: OMB, it's so late my Twitter has turned into a US news feed.
	👻 8:48pm Handy Haversack: @Jake: YOU GOT A BADGE???!!! I have always yoed alone. But I have some cool ones. A couple of favorite Duncans -- and a Tom Kuhn No Jive!
	8:49pm JakeGould: @Handy: I got a diploma-like certificate in the mail. The same year I got some eBay “Seller Achievement” certificate as well. As you can tell, those were very happy days in my life.
	8:49pm Scott Williams: @y ddraig las, are you in Wales?
	8:50pm y_ddraig_las: Indeed I am @Scott Williams
	8:50pm Richard S: This is a WAY FUN song!
	8:50pm efd: WALES IN THE HOUSE!! WALES IN THE HOUSE!!
	👻 8:50pm Handy Haversack: @y_ddraig_las: Always glad to see you've stayed up for HTRG! (Also assuming that in Welsh "god" starts with several silent B's and a few crucial H's.)
	8:51pm JakeGould: @Handy: Oh! The Yo-Yo stuff! I got a huge patch of an eagle. Looks similar to this one: yo-yoshop.com... Wore it on my denim jacket as a 12 year old.
	8:51pm y_ddraig_las: Whales in the house and I can't get in
	8:51pm Scott Williams: EFD, Bronwyn C and I send you a hearty Iechydd da!
	👻 8:51pm Handy Haversack: BAD. ASS. @Jake.
	8:53pm y_ddraig_las: I think you are talking about OMB, O Mam Bach- literally, o little mother but used like OMG in English
	8:53pm Steve from Dunwoody: Fabulous music tonight HTGirl. Thanks for what you do. <signed> Your listener, Steve
	👻 8:53pm Handy Haversack: I am glad to learn that, @y_ddraig_las!
	8:54pm Scott Williams: I thought Iechydd da was a toast to health...?
	8:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy...I hope negotiations go well. Death cults seem to call for all the resistance available.
	8:54pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks Becky, this is toe tappin' fun
	8:54pm Becky: Thanks for listening everybody!! This was scary but fun!
	8:54pm Richard S: Up to your usual high standards, Becky! Great work!
	8:55pm y_ddraig_las: @Scott thanks and yes, it means "Good Health" and we use it when drinking.
	👻 8:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky -- sounded great! Thanks, Scott! (Also, Scott, y_ddraig_las was referring to how he started a post with "OMB" and I made a lame joke!)
	8:55pm JakeGould: Excellent show! Thanks for the work. And tell your neighbors there are other Drifters and Ben E. King songs.
	👻 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: My mom has a bunch of LPs and 45s in her basement. She hauled them all upstairs when the ground thawed and water seeped in. I can probably send some to the station next time I'm out there, whenever that might be.
	8:55pm Mr. Pumpy: Great show and thanks.
	8:56pm radioronan: Loved the show, Becky. Thanks!
	8:56pm KidProJoe: Brilliant show tonight! Thank you so much!
	8:56pm Upstairs Neighbor: Hey keep it down!!!
	👻 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Uh oh. Kate wants me to play "treats till I bleed" with the cats. Hope I can type for efd's show ...
	8:56pm adamp: So happy you’re broadcasting live again! Thanks for a great show
	8:57pm y_ddraig_las: Top show @Becky. There's been less crackle tonight, either you have a better turntable at home or playing less worn records?
	8:57pm Corey: Thanks for the great show! Crackled with the live show energy.
	8:57pm adamp: Love that crackle, though!
	8:57pm listener 126464: Thank you Becky.
	8:58pm y_ddraig_las: Cracking crackle
	8:58pm Becky: Ha - I doubt I have better turntables but my needles are probably newer.
	8:58pm Scott Williams: Excellent show Becky, thanks! Congrats on your successful inaugural live run
	8:58pm Jett: Thanks for a tree mendous show tonight Becky. ❤️
	8:58pm Corey: Good crackled, that is.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Think there was meaning to that "Clarksville" quote in "invader"?
	8:58pm ottovonbqe: Nice show - happy to come make your neighbors an offer they can't refuse if you know what I mean.
	8:59pm y_ddraig_las: Nos da everybody
	9:00pm mr gary: great show! thanks!
	9:00pm Ben from Ridgewood: Great show!
