	8:00pm ultradamno: Hello Becky! Tonkies!
	8:01pm Becky: Hi friends! So glad to be here playing this for you again!
	8:02pm JakeGould: Thank you Becky!
	8:04pm Gaylord Fields: Say, Becky, who is that silver-tongued devil you're talking with?
	8:06pm Becky: Why, it's the one and only Gaylord Fields!! Hi Gaylord!!
	8:07pm Becky: I have upheld your exclusive guest spot, by the way.
	8:07pm Gaylord Fields: Becky! It's almost as if we're in the same room today Sigh...
	8:08pm Becky: I miss you, Gaylord!
	8:08pm The Count of Al Dente: If I'm remembering correctly, I think it was around 1990 when I read that Billboard had reported that Black people were the biggest purchasers of country music.
	8:09pm Matt Fiveash: Man I miss talking about Ken Burnsisms on the air as if we were drinking at a bar! And I miss you two jokers.
	8:09pm ultradamno: I don't recall if country artist covering soul plays into what's being discussed exactly, but I became obsessed with The Maddox Brothers & Rose's version of Mickey & Sylvia's Love Is Strange this week twitter.com...
	8:09pm Gaylord Fields: Becky, that is one ironclad contract you agreed to. You should fire your lawyer.
	8:10pm Gaylord Fields: As I you, Becky!
	8:10pm Becky: @ultradamno never heard that!
	8:10pm antonio: Bringing back the correct usage of ‘nonplussed’!!
	8:10pm Becky: Hi Matt. I miss you too!
	8:10pm ultradamno: You MUST, it's so good!
	8:11pm Gaylord Fields: @antonio: I am nonplussed about how the definition of that word has been perverted.
	8:11pm slugluv1313: hiya Becky and Gaylord!!!
	8:12pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv1313: Hi!
	8:12pm Becky: I'm officially watching Louie Bluie again after this show is over.
	8:13pm Gaylord Fields: You read my mind!
	8:13pm Richard S: Hello!
	8:14pm Matt Fiveash: That part in Louie Bluie where he recounts reciting the poem about the Woodpecker in school may be my favorite scene from any movie ever, documentary or otherwise...
	8:16pm Becky: I still don't know anything about Slim O'Bannon. What a great record this is.
	8:19pm b k: Great box set from 1998 "From Where I Stand: The Black Experience In Country Music" that is worth seeking out also. Very informative booklet with it.
	8:20pm ToTetsu: wow. I gotta see a video on how to do this with a harmonica
	8:21pm Richard S: Do we still have to do the homework?
	8:21pm Gaylord Fields: @b k: I reviewed that box for a music magazine when it came out. It was a revelation.
	8:21pm Becky: @Richard yes
	8:22pm Gaylord Fields: @Richard S: It's the reason you're repeating this course in summer school.
	8:22pm ultradamno: Wow... www.allmusic.com...
	8:23pm Becky: Weird transition! I edited out some very obviously October 2019 stuff.
	8:24pm Richard S: Darn it!
	8:24pm Gaylord Fields: Fact check: Charley Pride was discovered in Helena, Montana.
	8:25pm Bootsie: Yay, I tuned in just in time for Charley Pride!
	8:26pm Becky: Well called, Gaylord.
	8:26pm Bongo: U r so right. Country ends around 75. I would have to say tho that the old time stuff before 1950 was country before country was country. Great show. Listening from Tx. Not proud.
	8:26pm Tommy in Neversink: I read C. Pride's bio ....twice . Challenge me on Pride trivia at your own peril
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: Gawd, this was so much fun!
	8:31pm ToTetsu: This made me wonder if there was a country musics scene in any countries in Africa. yes there is. www.youtube.com...
	8:33pm Becky: When we get to go places again, I'm going to St. Lucia www.theguardian.com...
	8:33pm Becky: I wish Linda Martell made 100 more albums.
	8:33pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm just now getting around to watching the Ken Burns Country Music doc. Loving it
	8:34pm mndave: Great show, Becky and Gaylord!
	8:34pm Gaylord Fields: @ToTetsu: Look up the "chimirocha" musical phenomenon in Kenya — a song movement spawned from a few Jimmie Rodgers 78s that made their way to that nation.
	8:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Tommy in Neversink: There's a whole lot to like about it — so many great performances, for one. If anything, I think a lot of us are disappointed in Ken Burns because he couldn't break out of certain orthodoxies, even as he on occasion challenges others.
	8:37pm Becky: Yes. Also, he hires some real duds of talking heads from time to time.
	8:38pm Becky: Since we recorded this, I got an amazing O.B. McClinton live album that I can't wait to play during Volume 2 of this series!
	8:38pm ToTetsu: haha
	8:39pm Gaylord Fields: Exactly. Having 12.5% of Hank's DNA doesn't make you an expert — or even talented. Oof!
	8:39pm JakeGould: Ken Burns can do more but he always does Ken Burns.
	8:39pm Tommy in Neversink: I was wondering who would be the Wynton Marcellus of the country doc but there doesn't' really seem to me one commentator dominating they way Wynton did
	8:40pm Becky: Wynton was the Wynton
	8:42pm JakeGould: Not out there myself, but another successful silent protest at on the streets in front of Gracie Mansion for 20+ minutes tonight. twitter.com...
	8:42pm Tommy in Neversink: I can't forgive Burns for the short shrift he gave Charles Mingus ( my fav jazz guy) He could have taken a few minutes from the 60 hours he used to cover Armstrong and Ellington and gave Mingus some more attention
	8:42pm Becky: Here is the previously-mentioned Linda Martell video: www.youtube.com...
	8:44pm ultradamno: @Tommy No excuse for that I agree. Hell, he should be mention for Beneath The Underdog alone, never mind the sprawling body of work.
	8:44pm Tommy in Neversink: Becky ...HA !
	8:44pm Becky: I LOVE FAIRYTALE
	8:45pm adamp: I love this episode. This is my third listen! Any other suggestions/further listening for black country? Haven’t checked out that documentary yet. Maybe I’ll queue that up next!
	8:46pm Tommy in Neversink: Ultodomo ..He only mentioned that one thing Mingus did that was critical of the governor of AK..Fables Of Farbus......Like that was Mingus's only claim to fame
	8:46pm Becky: The Pointer Sisters live: youtu.be...
	8:46pm Bootsie: Wow, this is great!
	8:47pm Becky: I also wish there were 100 more records exactly like this.
	8:49pm Becky: Not about country music specifically, but all the reading and listening and watching you can do about American black cowboys is worthwhile. www.bbc.co.uk...
	8:49pm Gaylord Fields: "Fairytale" was a big pop hit and (barely) a country hit, so it makes me wonder why they didn't recorded more in the country vein. Probably label pressure.
	8:49pm The Count of Al Dente: I came across this: www.frugalfun.com...
	8:50pm Becky: I love us giggling in pure joy at that great record
	8:50pm Richard S: TORRENTIAL rain coming down....
	8:51pm JakeGould: You two… Get a Zoom!
	8:51pm Gaylord Fields: I'm transported back to that joyful day.
	8:52pm antonio: Thanks for the good tunes & camaraderie!
	8:53pm Tommy in Neversink: Porter and James , friends.....really ! WOW That's cool !
	8:54pm Gaylord Fields: Give the drummer none!
	8:54pm The Count of Al Dente: Tommy In Neversink, it's Marsalis.
	8:55pm ultradamno: Louvin Brothers cowboy boots, apropos of nothing twitter.com...
	8:55pm adamp: Thank you for the suggestions. And thank you both, Becky and Gaylord, for the show. Great to hear your voices!
	8:55pm Tommy in Neversink: ..and all my redneck friends in NC listened to black music
	8:56pm Becky: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
	8:56pm listener 126464: Thanks again DJ's!
	8:56pm Richard S: Until next time, keep honky tonkin'!
	8:56pm radioronan: Great choice for re-broadcast. thanks Becky thanks Gaylord. thanks Skeleton crew!
	8:57pm Tommy in Neversink: I spelt it so bad spell check couldn't even catch it
	8:57pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Becky, for giving this a re-airing at a crucial time in our understanding of social issues. <3
	8:57pm JakeGould: Thanks present Gaylord and Becky and pat Gaylord and Becky.
	8:58pm Tommy in Neversink: I loved this show.....I thought I knew a lot abt country but I learned a lot I didn't know
	8:58pm Becky: Gaylord, I couldn't in good conscience do anything else! I can't wait for our next conversation on air, be it about Black country, Charlie Rich, or anything!!!
	8:59pm Becky: Tommy, that's all I could ever hope for.
	8:59pm Gaylord Fields: We need to do our next two-hander: "An Embarrassment of Rich-es"!
	9:16pm slugluv1313: thanks again, Becky and Gaylord! hearing this again has been so -- healing? replenishing? for me at least, giving me strength to not only keep fighting the horrible violence and injustice, but the apathy and complacency i have been witnessing too
