	3:02pm Andrew in Toronto: Howdy everybody.
	3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1960s BeeGees on radios in earliest years of life - very deep & beloved roots indeed.

	3:03pm patrick321: A rare BG treat! Todd you’re off to a big start
	3:03pm Chop Scott: @Todd Ha!
	3:05pm Woo: That was indeed a mellotron: Maurice Gibb talks about the mellotron on this track: "We started off with a mellotron and we used that on "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show", I had to repeat that on stage, but I used an organ". The Bee Gees denied rumours that the Beatles performed on this record
	3:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BGs 1st album here - definitive PsychPop Freakbeat of the highest order...so 'Revolver' it's got a Klaus Voormann cover.
	3:06pm Threemoons: @Woo come to think of it there IS a very Beatles vibe to that song.
	3:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Jack! Part II comes next week…
	3:08pm John L: For some reason most of the early Bee Gees albums are out of print, both on cd and LP. There must be some kind of dispute over the rights.

	3:11pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Todd-o-phonic Todd, Ruth, and everyone. This is just what the doctor ordered.
	3:12pm Chop Scott: Yay Ruth!
	3:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Peter from Dover NJ: You might want to consider changing physicians.
	3:12pm Woo: @Threemoons, there is a Beatles vibe and then occasionally dips into Yardbirds drone territory. A masterpiece.
	3:12pm Victrola Tom: What’s up Toddheads? Killer V&MC track! Frank Black did a great cover of this one also!
	👻 3:14pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Tom!
	3:14pm medson: Hola TOPT and everyone
	3:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Vince Melouney on the show today!
	3:16pm Victrola Tom: And the DJ feud ratchets up a notch! This one could get ugly early and often folks!
	3:16pm Joe Castrianni: Featuring Elk City’s Renee LoBue on backup vocals.
	👻 3:17pm Hoboken Jack: Medson Man! Hmm this one would sound great on a highly compressed mp3....
	3:18pm McGroovey: I'm takin' notes, and I ain't even got a notebook!
	3:18pm Michael in Montclair: Good Afternoon Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	3:18pm McGroovey: I thought it was EVERY SHOW Joe?
	3:19pm sufferwords: Buzzcocks pow pow pow!!
	3:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovey: Semantics.
	3:19pm Threemoons: LOVE ME this Buzzcocks.
	👻 3:20pm Hoboken Jack: The estate of No-Show Jones suing for copyright infringement. Howdy McGroove
	3:21pm Woo: Pete, you get to be played on this radio show.
	3:21pm Motobro: Yo Boss Groover, you’re coming out swinging like the champ you are! Rock on!
	3:23pm McGroovey: @Todd words is important. You gotta use em proper.
	3:24pm Handy Haversack: I have figured out how to play transatlantic poker, chat with friends, AND listen to TOPT at the same time! It involves multiple computers, some highly illegal dog positioning, and at least several cans of cider, but it's happening!
	3:24pm Matt Clarke: Hey Todd!
	👻 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: MVP!
	3:27pm elkeno: HIVES
	3:27pm medson: Hi Jack, Matt
	3:28pm Woo: @Handy, illegal dog positioning. Are there international laws concerning that or just the tri-state area?
	3:29pm mariano: Woo: I was just about to say! That's a crime, even in Louisiana.
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: Maritime statutes become surprisingly relevant, Woo!
	3:29pm spodiodi: TOPT! people!
	3:29pm ratso: hey TOPT! hey people! time to turn it up too eleventy.
	3:30pm mariano: Oh god... Handy's a canine trafficker :(
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Crumley! Throw on more dogs!
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kross Kontinental & the Durty Dawg Swappers - now on 45 : We've Seen Your Kind Before
	3:34pm ?: Play it in major! Why didn't Mike and Jerry think of that?
	3:35pm Frank Zaatar: Sorry, that was me--I'm not from Saginaw and I don't play Farfisa.
	3:37pm spodiodi: Poison Ivy is such a great summer song
	3:40pm spodiodi: Easybeats yeah
	3:40pm Matt Clarke: Best song ever
	3:40pm Jett: Not familiar with Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, but these guys really rocked!
	3:40pm McGroovey: Gosh, Mike Sun, what an honor
	3:42pm Woo: I got Easyfever.
	3:42pm Jett: Did Vince Melouney play for the Easybeats?
	3:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Jett: No but he played Harry Vanda's guitar!
	3:44pm Jett: Quite a stretch, @Todd-o-phonic
	3:48pm Woo: If it's all things Australian, don't forget to consider “Little Pattie” Amphlett's “He’s My Blonde-Headed, Stompie Wompie, Real Gone Surfer Boy”. Maybe next time.
	3:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Todd and all!
	3:51pm spodiodi: Mr P
	3:58pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P!
	4:01pm mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy.
	4:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Spod, Handy, mariano...yo yo yo! Digging this shoe...
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: The other shoe ain't too bad either...
	4:23pm Gaylord Fields: Before all this shoe talk, I didn't know what "Mr. Pumpy" was a reference to.
	4:24pm Matt Clarke: Fantastic show so far, Todd
	4:24pm Dennis Diken: Bee Gees rule! thanks for this Todd!
	4:24pm Earth Walker: This song is good !!!
	4:25pm Earth Walker: We all should love somebody
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: The comments page is like an All-Star game today.
	4:26pm spodiodi: what is it, Gaylord?
	4:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord...just when I thought I heard them all... RIMSHOT!
	4:27pm Gaylord Fields: @spodiodi: Please excuse me from explaining a weak joke.
	4:27pm Matt Clarke: You got good Bee Gees taste, Todd
	4:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord, being modest again. I think that joke has legs...
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: Mr. Pumpy: Haha! Fair enough. But then, you placed the ball on the tee, put the bat in my hand, and I'm supposed to just leave the ball sitting there like a schmo? Not bloody likely!
	4:29pm Woo: And this was hit around the same time as the Monkees' Words? Lots of words.
	4:30pm George in WO: Lovin' the pre-disco Bee Gees! Great stuff, Todd!
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: Swing away, Gaylord!
	4:35pm Matt Clarke: Oh yes, "Out Of Line" is a fav
	4:37pm steveo: Oh do your think their bassist heard Rain?
	4:37pm McGroovey: OK. Now I want to start a early-BeeGees cover band. And a Swell Maps cover band, but that's old news.
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Contour Lines! See the VH-1 Behind the Music about our inevitable fall!
	4:39pm Matt Clarke: @steveo: Maurice sure did use "Rain" and "Paperback Writer" as his template. Rickenbacker 'n all!
	4:41pm paul: So much better than their disco stuff.
	4:44pm pinto bean: Hi Todd, I’ve listened to your shows at oft times the past couple weeks due to summer camp responsibilities and other things my wife makes me do...anyway the shows have been great. I hope you still appreciate Svengoolie as much as I do and that your summer has been full of chipwiches, nathans hot dogs, and Naturdays. Best to you and Bleylock (;)). Your Virtual Pal, Pinto Bean
	4:45pm steveo: Such a great sound, Matt
	4:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Pinto Bean: Thanks man. Hope everyone is the same at camp. I have to say Sissophonic grilled one of the best burgers I've ever had last night. And tomorrow we have a double date at Hiram's. So no complaints in the food dept. at least.
	4:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Swing, Gaylord...Swiinnngt!
	4:51pm Greg: I remember seeing the Bee gees start to lip-sync to Got to get a message to you (I think) on the Woody Woodbury show. And as they began ..the record was at the wrong higher speed... So it came out like the Chipmunks.... They chuckled and then restarted the right way...
	4:52pm Michael Shelley: I never quite understood the MAD Bee Gees parody from 1980 "Barely Alive." They were in their mid-30s at the time. Is the idea that Disco will age you? .... a rare MAD slip. www.youtube.com...
	4:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg: Woody Woodbury was Florida based, correct?
	4:56pm Matt Clarke: Yes! "Such A Shame" so great
	4:59pm Listener Marianne: Todd, this show is so good!!!
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Marianne!
	5:00pm spodiodi: Michael Shelley, i remember that paraody, but didn't remember it being from MAD magazine (thanks for the memory and link). I never thought about what it may have been trying to say about the Bee Gees, just that it was a funny song about aging disco folks (?) idk
	5:01pm Greg: I was in NYC and possibly he was filling in for Mike Douglas show..? Got to look it up.. There was also an episode with Billy Mumy as a guest and they let him do the "we'll be right back after this commercial " and he said the . Woody Woody show instead of the Woody Woodbury show....
	5:02pm mariano: Michael Shelley: I remember MAD being decidedly in the anti-disco camp.
	5:07pm Earth Walker: We used to wear Disco Sucks T-shirts And I ended up at Studio 54 and Xenon
	5:09pm Matt Clarke: Damn they should have put Vince's vocals in there on all their harmonies
	5:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Matt Clarke: Right? His vocals are so good on those Vince Maloney Sect tracks, albeit in different style.
	5:11pm Greg: The Woody Woodbury Show was on television from 1967 to 1968,[8] a 90-minute talk/variety show which aired weekday afternoons (in most markets)... From Wikipedia So I guess it was actually syndicated in NYC.... Great show... we all love the mellotron... And the Bee Gees Cheers And Woody Woodbury is still alive he's 96 who would have guessed..
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg: Good for him!
	5:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt Clarke: Just imagine what a Maurice and Vince–led side group would have sounded like!
	5:16pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: How I wish I could hear that.
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord, did you get an en dash in your comment? Respect!
	5:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Thank Messrs. Wozniak and Jobs for that.
	5:18pm Matt Clarke: Another absolute fav here
	5:19pm Alice Formato: Hi Todd, Fantastic Show & Interview, The BeeGees are My Favorite, Thank You for doing the Show!
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The extraordinary vocal harmony of course & strong melodic Pop qualty - rich but as stated not overstated Production - & these compelling evocative Songs with eccentricity always threatening to force its way in - but all making appeals to your emotions ...as a kid, it was one of those things youd come to laugh - & find it had gotten inside you...
	5:21pm mariano: "Marley Purt Drive" is a bit like Quinn the Eskimo, at least parts of it.
	5:21pm George in WO: Still have my red flocked cover Odessa LP.
	5:22pm Gaylord Fields: Does anyone else's copy of Odessa suffer from alopecia?
	5:24pm patrick321: I’m out running errands but had to stop and say I really enjoyed that interview. Thanks Todd.
	5:25pm George in WO: Gaylord: you made me go check, nope no pattern baldness on my copy.
	5:25pm Mark Porter: Todd, thanks for the interview with Vince and for playing an array of awesome Bee Gees tunes: melodic to the nth degree, imaginative arrangements, grabby lyrics, and those vocals. In homage to the Bee Gees, I'm ready to add an exclamation point!
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Almost sounds like Nash Psych Hollies...
	5:27pm Gaylord Fields: @George in WO: Glad to be of service!
	👻 5:37pm Hoboken Jack: Splendid interview, thank you TOPT! Really seems like a good guy.
	5:38pm Matt Clarke: Great interview Todd!
	5:38pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd, for an excellent interview with another unsung hero people need to know about!
	5:39pm ratso: Yeah!
	5:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you guys enjoyed it...I have to admit I was very surprised when I saw Vince had a new release! But I wasn't suprrised that it's excellent!
	5:41pm Earth Walker: Magic Music Flow Thanks Todd !
	5:43pm spodiodi: thanks, Todd! nice interview and music (thanks, Vince!)
	5:44pm scott: Swimmer and Lily Munster!
	5:45pm Earth Walker: The Stones are still at and showing how it Rocks !
	5:46pm mariano: This Stones is from 2020? Wow. It's got that "Some Girls" vibe.
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @scott: Terry Adams told me he ran into Marvin Hamlisch at a drug store once. He walked up to him and told him how much he loved "The Swimmer" soundtrack album. Marvin looked at him and said, "So you're the guy that bought it."
	5:46pm Revolution iRabbit Nov63: ...sounds like the Stones. If you know what I mean.
	5:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @mariano: Yeah, the other new song is the worst thing I've ever heard so this is a nice save.
	5:47pm Revolution iRabbit Nov63: HaHa.
	5:48pm mariano: I'll say, TOPT. I largely quit paying attention after "Tattoo You" or "Undercover", nice to be pleasantly surprised.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: Country Westerns! Glad this finally was released!
	5:51pm efd: Another great one, Todd! Thank you!
	5:51pm Stonesy: This isn't a new Rolling Stones song though. Criss Cross is an outtake from the Goat's Head Soup sessions. one of 3 unreleased from those sessions that will be on the upcoming deluxe edition.
	👻 5:51pm Hoboken Jack: Great segue there
	5:51pm Earth Walker: Todd do they know Pepto - Bismol now comes in tablets
	5:51pm dana: Love this song
	5:51pm scott: Many brilliant artistic works are underappreciated. They must wait to get their due, no matter that the artists dues were paid in full.
	5:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Stonesy: Unfortunately that makes sense. Oh well, a boy can dream!
	5:52pm SeanG: I knew you were going to play the Mats next!
	5:52pm Bootsie: So I'm not the only one who noticed that vocal similarity!
	5:52pm mariano: Stonesy: Ah, ok, now it makes sense. I was like "Wow, Mick still sounds so young!"
	5:52pm Dan from Delco: Great show, Todd
	5:54pm Stonesy: Yeah this song has been on bootlegs for years but not in this quality obviously. One of the other tracks is called Scarlet which jimmy Page plays on. So many other songs that never came out from these sessions that should have been on this upcoming deluxe. Oh well, maybe one day
	5:54pm Corey: Thanks Todd for a killer interview and show! Be well all.
	👻 5:54pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Made my day!!
	5:54pm efd: omg, I was JUST looking for a Sean Tyla obit! yikes.
	5:55pm radioronan: Great interview, Todd. In a pre-pandemic world would have been at the Burger Boogaloo.. but hanging out here has been a-ok. Thanks for the show! Thanks skeleton crew!!
	5:55pm mariano: Right, I read an article on Scarlet, I think there was a story on it recently in the Guardian (UK). Thank you TOPT and Skeleton Crew (Ruth still?) - take care everyone!
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Todd! Thanks so much to you and Ruth Booth!
	5:55pm Jett: @Todd-o-phonic I found Vince very interesting. Great interview! The man has a rock n roll heart! I think he might've kept the Bee Gees more in a rock n roll track which they should've followed if he stayed on.
	5:56pm spodiodi: Thanks again, Todd-o-phonic Todd! Thanks too to Ruth and Crew!
	5:56pm Ruth Booth: Have a great one, everybody. Still me Mariano :-)
	👻 5:58pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd for these Tyla/ Ducks songs. Such a shame he's gone
	5:58pm Earth Walker: Ruth Booth Rocks !
	5:59pm mariano: Keep on being your badass self, Ruth!
	5:59pm Earth Walker: Todd you aced it again ! Thanks
	6:00pm sufferwords: Thanks Todd - a little joy in the days of plague - always needed and welcome - shine a light
	6:02pm scott: Bitter, no 'Sweet' or ' Slade' tune. Thanks man.
	👻 6:02pm MFlynn: Thanks Ruth!!

	3:12pm Chop Scott: Yay Ruth!
	3:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Peter from Dover NJ: You might want to consider changing physicians.
	3:12pm Woo: @Threemoons, there is a Beatles vibe and then occasionally dips into Yardbirds drone territory. A masterpiece.
	3:12pm Victrola Tom: What’s up Toddheads? Killer V&MC track! Frank Black did a great cover of this one also!
	👻 3:14pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Tom!
	3:14pm medson: Hola TOPT and everyone
	3:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Vince Melouney on the show today!
	3:16pm Victrola Tom: And the DJ feud ratchets up a notch! This one could get ugly early and often folks!
	3:16pm Joe Castrianni: Featuring Elk City’s Renee LoBue on backup vocals.
	👻 3:17pm Hoboken Jack: Medson Man! Hmm this one would sound great on a highly compressed mp3....
	3:18pm McGroovey: I'm takin' notes, and I ain't even got a notebook!
	3:18pm Michael in Montclair: Good Afternoon Todd-o-phonic Todd!
	3:18pm McGroovey: I thought it was EVERY SHOW Joe?
	3:19pm sufferwords: Buzzcocks pow pow pow!!
	3:19pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @McGroovey: Semantics.
	3:19pm Threemoons: LOVE ME this Buzzcocks.
	👻 3:20pm Hoboken Jack: The estate of No-Show Jones suing for copyright infringement. Howdy McGroove
	3:21pm Woo: Pete, you get to be played on this radio show.
	3:21pm Motobro: Yo Boss Groover, you’re coming out swinging like the champ you are! Rock on!
	3:23pm McGroovey: @Todd words is important. You gotta use em proper.
	3:24pm Handy Haversack: I have figured out how to play transatlantic poker, chat with friends, AND listen to TOPT at the same time! It involves multiple computers, some highly illegal dog positioning, and at least several cans of cider, but it's happening!
	3:24pm Matt Clarke: Hey Todd!
	👻 3:26pm Hoboken Jack: MVP!
	3:27pm elkeno: HIVES
	3:27pm medson: Hi Jack, Matt
	3:28pm Woo: @Handy, illegal dog positioning. Are there international laws concerning that or just the tri-state area?
	3:29pm mariano: Woo: I was just about to say! That's a crime, even in Louisiana.
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: Maritime statutes become surprisingly relevant, Woo!
	3:29pm spodiodi: TOPT! people!
	3:29pm ratso: hey TOPT! hey people! time to turn it up too eleventy.
	3:30pm mariano: Oh god... Handy's a canine trafficker :(
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Crumley! Throw on more dogs!
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kross Kontinental & the Durty Dawg Swappers - now on 45 : We've Seen Your Kind Before
	3:34pm ?: Play it in major! Why didn't Mike and Jerry think of that?
	3:35pm Frank Zaatar: Sorry, that was me--I'm not from Saginaw and I don't play Farfisa.
	3:37pm spodiodi: Poison Ivy is such a great summer song
	3:40pm spodiodi: Easybeats yeah
	3:40pm Matt Clarke: Best song ever
	3:40pm Jett: Not familiar with Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, but these guys really rocked!
	3:40pm McGroovey: Gosh, Mike Sun, what an honor
	3:42pm Woo: I got Easyfever.
	3:42pm Jett: Did Vince Melouney play for the Easybeats?
	3:43pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Jett: No but he played Harry Vanda's guitar!
	3:44pm Jett: Quite a stretch, @Todd-o-phonic
	3:48pm Woo: If it's all things Australian, don't forget to consider “Little Pattie” Amphlett's “He’s My Blonde-Headed, Stompie Wompie, Real Gone Surfer Boy”. Maybe next time.
	3:48pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Todd and all!
	3:51pm spodiodi: Mr P
	3:58pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P!
	4:01pm mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy.
	4:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Spod, Handy, mariano...yo yo yo! Digging this shoe...
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: The other shoe ain't too bad either...
	4:23pm Gaylord Fields: Before all this shoe talk, I didn't know what "Mr. Pumpy" was a reference to.
	4:24pm Matt Clarke: Fantastic show so far, Todd
	4:24pm Dennis Diken: Bee Gees rule! thanks for this Todd!
	4:24pm Earth Walker: This song is good !!!
	4:25pm Earth Walker: We all should love somebody
	4:26pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: The comments page is like an All-Star game today.
	4:26pm spodiodi: what is it, Gaylord?
	4:27pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord...just when I thought I heard them all... RIMSHOT!
	4:27pm Gaylord Fields: @spodiodi: Please excuse me from explaining a weak joke.
	4:27pm Matt Clarke: You got good Bee Gees taste, Todd
	4:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Gaylord, being modest again. I think that joke has legs...
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: Mr. Pumpy: Haha! Fair enough. But then, you placed the ball on the tee, put the bat in my hand, and I'm supposed to just leave the ball sitting there like a schmo? Not bloody likely!
	4:29pm Woo: And this was hit around the same time as the Monkees' Words? Lots of words.
	4:30pm George in WO: Lovin' the pre-disco Bee Gees! Great stuff, Todd!
	4:33pm Handy Haversack: Swing away, Gaylord!
	4:35pm Matt Clarke: Oh yes, "Out Of Line" is a fav
	4:37pm steveo: Oh do your think their bassist heard Rain?
	4:37pm McGroovey: OK. Now I want to start a early-BeeGees cover band. And a Swell Maps cover band, but that's old news.
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Contour Lines! See the VH-1 Behind the Music about our inevitable fall!
	4:39pm Matt Clarke: @steveo: Maurice sure did use "Rain" and "Paperback Writer" as his template. Rickenbacker 'n all!
	4:41pm paul: So much better than their disco stuff.
	4:44pm pinto bean: Hi Todd, I’ve listened to your shows at oft times the past couple weeks due to summer camp responsibilities and other things my wife makes me do...anyway the shows have been great. I hope you still appreciate Svengoolie as much as I do and that your summer has been full of chipwiches, nathans hot dogs, and Naturdays. Best to you and Bleylock (;)). Your Virtual Pal, Pinto Bean
	4:45pm steveo: Such a great sound, Matt
	4:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Pinto Bean: Thanks man. Hope everyone is the same at camp. I have to say Sissophonic grilled one of the best burgers I've ever had last night. And tomorrow we have a double date at Hiram's. So no complaints in the food dept. at least.
	4:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Swing, Gaylord...Swiinnngt!
	4:51pm Greg: I remember seeing the Bee gees start to lip-sync to Got to get a message to you (I think) on the Woody Woodbury show. And as they began ..the record was at the wrong higher speed... So it came out like the Chipmunks.... They chuckled and then restarted the right way...
	4:52pm Michael Shelley: I never quite understood the MAD Bee Gees parody from 1980 "Barely Alive." They were in their mid-30s at the time. Is the idea that Disco will age you? .... a rare MAD slip. www.youtube.com...
	4:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg: Woody Woodbury was Florida based, correct?
	4:56pm Matt Clarke: Yes! "Such A Shame" so great
	4:59pm Listener Marianne: Todd, this show is so good!!!
	5:00pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Marianne!
	5:00pm spodiodi: Michael Shelley, i remember that paraody, but didn't remember it being from MAD magazine (thanks for the memory and link). I never thought about what it may have been trying to say about the Bee Gees, just that it was a funny song about aging disco folks (?) idk
	5:01pm Greg: I was in NYC and possibly he was filling in for Mike Douglas show..? Got to look it up.. There was also an episode with Billy Mumy as a guest and they let him do the "we'll be right back after this commercial " and he said the . Woody Woody show instead of the Woody Woodbury show....
	5:02pm mariano: Michael Shelley: I remember MAD being decidedly in the anti-disco camp.
	5:07pm Earth Walker: We used to wear Disco Sucks T-shirts And I ended up at Studio 54 and Xenon
	5:09pm Matt Clarke: Damn they should have put Vince's vocals in there on all their harmonies
	5:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Matt Clarke: Right? His vocals are so good on those Vince Maloney Sect tracks, albeit in different style.
	5:11pm Greg: The Woody Woodbury Show was on television from 1967 to 1968,[8] a 90-minute talk/variety show which aired weekday afternoons (in most markets)... From Wikipedia So I guess it was actually syndicated in NYC.... Great show... we all love the mellotron... And the Bee Gees Cheers And Woody Woodbury is still alive he's 96 who would have guessed..
	5:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Greg: Good for him!
	5:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt Clarke: Just imagine what a Maurice and Vince–led side group would have sounded like!
	5:16pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: How I wish I could hear that.
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord, did you get an en dash in your comment? Respect!
	5:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Handy: Thank Messrs. Wozniak and Jobs for that.
	5:18pm Matt Clarke: Another absolute fav here
	5:19pm Alice Formato: Hi Todd, Fantastic Show & Interview, The BeeGees are My Favorite, Thank You for doing the Show!
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The extraordinary vocal harmony of course & strong melodic Pop qualty - rich but as stated not overstated Production - & these compelling evocative Songs with eccentricity always threatening to force its way in - but all making appeals to your emotions ...as a kid, it was one of those things youd come to laugh - & find it had gotten inside you...
	5:21pm mariano: "Marley Purt Drive" is a bit like Quinn the Eskimo, at least parts of it.
	5:21pm George in WO: Still have my red flocked cover Odessa LP.
	5:22pm Gaylord Fields: Does anyone else's copy of Odessa suffer from alopecia?
	5:24pm patrick321: I’m out running errands but had to stop and say I really enjoyed that interview. Thanks Todd.
	5:25pm George in WO: Gaylord: you made me go check, nope no pattern baldness on my copy.
	5:25pm Mark Porter: Todd, thanks for the interview with Vince and for playing an array of awesome Bee Gees tunes: melodic to the nth degree, imaginative arrangements, grabby lyrics, and those vocals. In homage to the Bee Gees, I'm ready to add an exclamation point!
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Almost sounds like Nash Psych Hollies...
	5:27pm Gaylord Fields: @George in WO: Glad to be of service!
	👻 5:37pm Hoboken Jack: Splendid interview, thank you TOPT! Really seems like a good guy.
	5:38pm Matt Clarke: Great interview Todd!
	5:38pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Todd, for an excellent interview with another unsung hero people need to know about!
	5:39pm ratso: Yeah!
	5:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Glad you guys enjoyed it...I have to admit I was very surprised when I saw Vince had a new release! But I wasn't suprrised that it's excellent!
	5:41pm Earth Walker: Magic Music Flow Thanks Todd !
	5:43pm spodiodi: thanks, Todd! nice interview and music (thanks, Vince!)
	5:44pm scott: Swimmer and Lily Munster!
	5:45pm Earth Walker: The Stones are still at and showing how it Rocks !
	5:46pm mariano: This Stones is from 2020? Wow. It's got that "Some Girls" vibe.
	5:46pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @scott: Terry Adams told me he ran into Marvin Hamlisch at a drug store once. He walked up to him and told him how much he loved "The Swimmer" soundtrack album. Marvin looked at him and said, "So you're the guy that bought it."
	5:46pm Revolution iRabbit Nov63: ...sounds like the Stones. If you know what I mean.
	5:47pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @mariano: Yeah, the other new song is the worst thing I've ever heard so this is a nice save.
	5:47pm Revolution iRabbit Nov63: HaHa.
	5:48pm mariano: I'll say, TOPT. I largely quit paying attention after "Tattoo You" or "Undercover", nice to be pleasantly surprised.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: Country Westerns! Glad this finally was released!
	5:51pm efd: Another great one, Todd! Thank you!
	5:51pm Stonesy: This isn't a new Rolling Stones song though. Criss Cross is an outtake from the Goat's Head Soup sessions. one of 3 unreleased from those sessions that will be on the upcoming deluxe edition.
	👻 5:51pm Hoboken Jack: Great segue there
	5:51pm Earth Walker: Todd do they know Pepto - Bismol now comes in tablets
	5:51pm dana: Love this song
	5:51pm scott: Many brilliant artistic works are underappreciated. They must wait to get their due, no matter that the artists dues were paid in full.
	5:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Stonesy: Unfortunately that makes sense. Oh well, a boy can dream!
	5:52pm SeanG: I knew you were going to play the Mats next!
	5:52pm Bootsie: So I'm not the only one who noticed that vocal similarity!
	5:52pm mariano: Stonesy: Ah, ok, now it makes sense. I was like "Wow, Mick still sounds so young!"
	5:52pm Dan from Delco: Great show, Todd
	5:54pm Stonesy: Yeah this song has been on bootlegs for years but not in this quality obviously. One of the other tracks is called Scarlet which jimmy Page plays on. So many other songs that never came out from these sessions that should have been on this upcoming deluxe. Oh well, maybe one day
	5:54pm Corey: Thanks Todd for a killer interview and show! Be well all.
	👻 5:54pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd! Made my day!!
	5:54pm efd: omg, I was JUST looking for a Sean Tyla obit! yikes.
	5:55pm radioronan: Great interview, Todd. In a pre-pandemic world would have been at the Burger Boogaloo.. but hanging out here has been a-ok. Thanks for the show! Thanks skeleton crew!!
	5:55pm mariano: Right, I read an article on Scarlet, I think there was a story on it recently in the Guardian (UK). Thank you TOPT and Skeleton Crew (Ruth still?) - take care everyone!
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Todd! Thanks so much to you and Ruth Booth!
	5:55pm Jett: @Todd-o-phonic I found Vince very interesting. Great interview! The man has a rock n roll heart! I think he might've kept the Bee Gees more in a rock n roll track which they should've followed if he stayed on.
	5:56pm spodiodi: Thanks again, Todd-o-phonic Todd! Thanks too to Ruth and Crew!
	5:56pm Ruth Booth: Have a great one, everybody. Still me Mariano :-)
	👻 5:58pm MFlynn: Thanks Todd for these Tyla/ Ducks songs. Such a shame he's gone
	5:58pm Earth Walker: Ruth Booth Rocks !
	5:59pm mariano: Keep on being your badass self, Ruth!
	5:59pm Earth Walker: Todd you aced it again ! Thanks
	6:00pm sufferwords: Thanks Todd - a little joy in the days of plague - always needed and welcome - shine a light
	6:02pm scott: Bitter, no 'Sweet' or ' Slade' tune. Thanks man.
	👻 6:02pm MFlynn: Thanks Ruth!!
