WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from December 3, 2020

Listener comments!
	11/29 12:17am Lolabelle Pancake: This week's playlist picture features a young Courtney Edison in 1911 when he was offering his services as a fledgling mobile disk jockey at garden parties, golf banquets, and lunatic asylums (as they were then called).
	11/29 6:43pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney doesn't remember the name of the woman in the photo, but he said she was a nuisance. She kept requesting "My Pony Boy" by Ada Jones and wouldn't leave Courtney alone even after he reluctantly played it twice.
	11/29 8:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: She died in 1947. (The pesky woman, not Ada Jones.) When Courtney found out, he discovered the meaning of "Schadenfreude."
	11/30 2:21pm Pierre Delecto: Years ago it was called a lunatic asylum. Today it's been shortened to "WFMU."
	♥ 3:11pm Listener Robert: Still looking for sponsors? Would you accept an ad for WMFU? This one's intended for a billboard on US 206 as you climb a hill going north leaving WFMU's reception area for WMFU's: users.bestweb.net...
	♥ 3:12pm Listener Robert: Ach! Someone's graffiti'd it already, and it's not even up yet.
	3:15pm Lolabelle Pancake: Hello, Robert. Is that Bronwyn A., Bronwyn B., or Bronwyn C.?
	♥ 3:18pm Listener Robert: Find the graffiti-ist and ask that! But they were threatening to do that with the I-280 billboard ("Rihanna. Bieber. Manson")since around when Bronwyn C. left, so draw your own conclusion.
	5:41pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney and I were just reminiscing about November 26, 2020, which was a Fablio-Free Thursday. We think it should be something of a tradition. Weekly, even.
	♥ 5:47pm ultradamno: Sure sounds like somethings gone wrong with Fablio's record player right now.
	♥ 5:48pm ultradamno: Though he's probably using one of those digitalis players.
	♥ 6:00pm G: Fablio meandering his way to the top of the hour...
	6:00pm Pierre Delecto: I dream about elk.
	♥ 6:01pm G: Do androids dream of electric elk?
	6:01pm Lolabelle Pancake: At least Fablio didn't pronounce the next host as "The Oooooooooooold Codger." Courtney cringes when he does that.
	♥ 6:03pm spodiodi: Alloha, Lolabelle P, Courtney and all!
	6:03pm Lolabelle Pancake: "Fatha" Hines.
	♥ 6:04pm G: His brother Duncan had no musical talent.
	♥ 6:04pm ultradamno: A result of Fablio's poor time management skills, a symptom of his overindulgence in Popeye's "spinach" can.
	♥ 6:05pm G: @ultra: He cleans his vinyl with CBD oil.
	♥ 6:05pm ultradamno: (that he didn't have time to draw out the 'old' in his intro, that is)
	6:05pm Lolabelle Pancake: Fablio has the same "spinach" connection as Flip the Frog.
	♥ 6:05pm ultradamno: The gumminess that leaves in his grooves comes through in the "music"
	♥ 6:06pm G: Spacey, though
	♥ 6:07pm G: Mildred, what a sxpt. Doing her Betty Boop voice.
	♥ 6:08pm Listener Robert: Was that about a Cuban sandwich? How do you tantalize that? Withhold a pickle from it?
	♥ 6:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I been fishin' during the pandemic & it's a stone bore ...now I's lookin' to be skooled in thuh precise particulars of Codging...
	6:11pm Will: Best Show on FMU. (Isn't that what Scharpling said?)
	6:12pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thank you, Will. You are stating the OBVIOUS!
	♥ 6:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if the Firesign Theatre fellows insist on passing away these vignettes provide a quite suitable material substitute...
	6:13pm Lolabelle Pancake: This isn't just the best show on WFMU—Courtney is also a real nice boss. He puts the "mensch" in dementia.
	♥ 6:14pm G: What about that whole workplace harassment thing?
	6:15pm Lolabelle Pancake: Don't mistake Courtney for Fablio!
	♥ 6:15pm ultradamno: Having sampled both I can wholeheartedly endorse Beyond Mouse over Impossible Squirrel any day of the week.
	♥ 6:15pm G: My bad, ma'am.
	♥ 6:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...@ least one of these Gittar players is sticking to proper Chords - I fear where Musics should wander if Gittar continues to be uppity about its place vis a vis the traditional Banjo in Jazzes...
	6:16pm Lolabelle Pancake: We heard that Impossible Squirrel contains 12% monkey brains for added texture.
	6:16pm northguineahills: thought it was gabor szabo....
	♥ 6:18pm dave wuz here: this jazz cigarette tastes of blueberry skunk tar
	♥ 6:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gabor brains too gamey...
	6:20pm Pierre Delecto: Everything I say is a dramatization based on real-life thoughts.
	6:23pm Lolabelle Pancake: How are your scuppers, Pierre? Plushed?
	♥ 6:24pm G: Muchos oldtime pluckers in this-here set.
	♥ 6:24pm Mailman Tom: I have a collection of Sol Hoopii songs on a compact disc
	6:24pm Pierre Delecto: I can always be counted on by my closest friends to offer discouraging words.
	6:25pm northguineahills: @dave: sample the jazz coke.... /a friend used to call that as slang for k....(back in the beforetime)
	6:25pm Lolabelle Pancake: In "Hoopii," the second "i" is silent.
	♥ 6:25pm Listener Robert: I guess in approximately real French that'd be "Non parle a mi ca" or even better French, "Ne parlez a moi de ca." Don't talk to me like that, or don't talk to me of such things.
	♥ 6:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Deffo some gittar-microphone jiggery happening here ...I admit I'm intrigued ...as long as it stays out on the Islands...
	♥ 6:27pm G: @Robert -- Hey, Creole French ain't Sorbonne French. I know someone here in Louisiana who complied a Cajun French dictionary...
	♥ 6:27pm Listener Robert: Rev Rabbit, is Phil Proctor still around? I know he complimented Clay Pigeon on the Wake playlist.
	♥ 6:30pm HyperDose: Feisty Codger!
	6:30pm ?: god this is so embarrassing
	6:31pm Pierre Delecto: Not all of Mozart's paintings were masterpieces.
	♥ 6:34pm Listener Robert: Obviously Requiem fpr a Mockingbird goes back before Hitchcock for mood effect.
	♥ 6:35pm ultradamno: Flip being molested by a giraffe friend on set 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	6:36pm Lolabelle Pancake: This Flip the Frog film features one of the earliest screen appearances by a young Mickey Rooney. It's just a cameo. He's driving an ice cream truck.
	6:36pm Floradix Hundwasser: That lady in the photograph...I find her hairstyle most alarming.
	6:37pm Lolabelle Pancake: She also had bad taste in music. She kept asking Courtney to play "My Pony Boy" by Ada Jones.
	6:38pm Lolabelle Pancake: Film also includes a cameo by Abe "Hit Sign Win Suit" Stark.
	6:39pm Lolabelle Pancake: Floradix, Courtney loved the "Heavenly Pie" you baked for Thanksgiving at the bunker.
	♥ 6:39pm G: For happiness boys, they seem to have a lot of gripes.
	♥ 6:41pm Rich in Washington: Awww, HORSE APPLES!
	♥ 6:42pm dave wuz here: nevertheless, sophie tucker
	♥ 6:42pm G: Sophie! Someone just turned up the thermostat.
	6:43pm Lolabelle Pancake: Sophie once sat down on an egg. When she got up, the egg was fried!
	6:44pm Floradix Hundwasser: Lolabelle, you can tell him that I have more heavenly pie all set up to bake for him.
	6:46pm Toothgrinder Tom: Lil Armstrong, wife of Louis?
	♥ 6:46pm ultradamno: Must have been a brief sit-down if it didn't burn
	♥ 6:48pm Listener Robert: Didn't Washington Irving at least imply that as the true purpose of tobacco? That is, when it wasn't being used to create a smokescreen.
	♥ 6:49pm G: @Tom -- Lil Hardin Armstrong, 2nd wife of and collaborator with Louis.
	♥ 6:50pm Listener Robert: You know, like when the Dutch made their punitive expedition against the Swedes and tried to smoke them out with their pipes?
	♥ 6:50pm JohnEBGood: Swing Baby Swing🎺
	♥ 6:51pm Listener Robert: Was the Old Codger among them in New Holland?
	♥ 6:52pm JohnEBGood: Hey WFMU Paulus Hauk New Netherlands
	6:55pm Lolabelle Pancake: Let Courtney know if you have any requests for next show. Post them here and I'll pass them along to him.
	6:55pm Toothgrinder Tom: @G third time’s a charm!
	♥ 6:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Codger & Lolabelle! thanks, crew!
	6:58pm Lolabelle Pancake: The Old Codger Show is made possible by funding.
	♥ 6:59pm G: Fun Ding?
	8:23pm Will: We need Codger t-shirts!
