	9:57pm Mike W: “backstage...7-Eleven.....”
	9:57pm Dusty: Ira, your comment about the Sabir Mateen record and it's sax/vibes pairing led me to a good one, Sounds of Liberation, with Khan Jamal and Byard Lancaster. Check it out it sometime. From 1971-2, I think.
	9:59pm Roberto: Yes Ira, I believe you did.

	10:03pm Rick G: Had to look this band up. “The premier landlocked Midwestern surf group of the 1960’s.” High praise!
	♥ 10:04pm nickybones: i had no idea there was a sequel to Surfin' Bird!
	10:04pm Joe B: holeman and dozier!
	♥ 10:04pm Ira: Wenzo, are you Tom Poston?!

	♥ 10:06pm Ira: You can practically hear the lightbulb going off over all their heads as she says that, Gaylord.
	10:06pm Joe B: @todd - it's a night of songs J Geils taught us!

	♥ 10:08pm nickybones: @ira indeed! the recyclingmen
	10:08pm Joe B: early bird gets a sequel
	10:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I wonder what some of the songs are that J. Geils Band played live in the early days and never recorded...
	10:12pm ignatatus666: All this scratchins making me itch... This is hot like lava Can’t get out of the car now
	♥ 10:13pm Corey: Evening Ira and listeners! Thanks for the great election returns refreshing soundtrack!
	♥ 10:14pm Matt Fiveash: Since all the experts are gathered here, maybe someone can answer the question that has vexed me for many years: on First I Look at the Purse, is he saying that he doesn't care if she "wobbles like a duck", or is it "waddles like a duck"?
	10:15pm bud: ok switching this off for now !
	10:16pm Libby’s Mom: Proud to be an old hippie ✌🏼
	♥ 10:17pm Tome: .... agrees with the above wholeheartedly
	♥ 10:17pm Tome: Great Show Ira !<>!
	10:19pm Owen: just tuned in, I love this song!! (old hippie) was just thinking about it today!
	♥ 10:20pm Ike: Fabio loves to yell at dirty hippies. Has anybody played that song for him? For that matter, has anybody done a marathon premium of songs about hippies?
	10:22pm thesecoronalives: when i'm 64 !
	10:22pm yippie: can we advertise weed on wfmu now?
	♥ 10:23pm spodiodi: Matt Fiveash, waddle seems to make more sense to me (great song, never heard it before)
	10:23pm wenzo llc.: Willie Nelson got into that didn't he? I think he has a strain... if not several...
	10:23pm Roberto: I went to college with Tom Poston's son.
	10:23pm Joe B: didn't know about the weed business but I did know that Neil Diamond had first crack at let your love flow and passed
	♥ 10:24pm mariano: Reminds me of that Onion headline (I'm adjusting the ages since the article's over 10 years old): "70-Year-Old Hippie Pitied by 50-Year-Old Punk."
	10:24pm Roberto: Sad end for Orson Bean last year, making it to 91 then getting dispatched by a car while attempting to cross the street.
	♥ 10:25pm Matt Fiveash: spodiodi- waddle does makes more sense, but on the record it really sounds like wobble.
	♥ 10:26pm mariano: Anyone remember the hooker in "Man with Two Brains" singing "Duke of Earl" with her really squeaky voice?
	10:26pm wenzo llc.: my mom claims I came home singing this after getting in a fight at school in the second grade... think that's the only time Ive ever won a fight or remained standing haha
	♥ 10:26pm spodiodi: Matt Fiveash, noted. i'll listen closely next i hear it
	♥ 10:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Al Bundy used to sing this.
	♥ 10:27pm spodiodi: no but i remember Cypress Hill sampling it in Hand on the Pump, mariano
	10:30pm wendy del formaggio: Please don’t throw things at me, but I really don’t generally care for doo-wop. That said, the “umm-mumma” bits in “Duke of Earl” make me happy.
	♥ 10:31pm Chop Scott: Orson Bean was a very interesting man--a devotee of Reichian therapy--wrote a curious book "Me & The Orgone", and he and his wife helped start the Little Red School on the UWS in the 1970's..
	10:31pm wenzo llc.: I won't but I don't think I coule hit you from here anyway...
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: spodi: That's right, been ages since I've given CH a listen.
	♥ 10:31pm spodiodi: puts throwin' money back in wallet
	♥ 10:32pm spodiodi: (aloha, wendy del formaggio) :)
	♥ 10:33pm spodiodi: i thought Ira was going west-coast for a sec there, mariano
	♥ 10:33pm spodiodi: (then the rest happened)
	♥ 10:33pm Ira: You can't guard me, spodiodi!
	10:34pm wendy del formaggio: @Spodi: Rats! I shoulda been more clear. “Please don’t throw anything at me unless it’s money, but...”
	♥ 10:34pm spodiodi: shakes fist
	♥ 10:34pm Ira: spodiodi: It's the crossover dribble that gets 'em. Every time. Speaking of which, if you're still out there, Matt Fiveash, sorry to read about the passing of KC Jones.
	10:35pm ignatatus666: @wendydelformaggio Some people don’t care for Cambazola I like both
	10:36pm Joe B: KC Jones - rare example of great player also great coach
	♥ 10:37pm Ira: Don't forget Isiah Thomas, Joe!
	10:37pm Joe B: welcome to the playoffs!
	♥ 10:38pm Matt Fiveash: Thanks Ira. Tought to lose Tommy Heinsohn and KC in such quick succession. Other than that it was a pretty good year though!
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: @ignat: In the fromages-portmanteaux category, Cambozola is pretty good. I bet you could bake it en croute and that would be kinda fabulous.
	10:39pm Joe B: hudson county's own tommy heinsohn!
	♥ 10:40pm Ira: Luckily the webcam is shut off, so that my spit take at Matt Fiveash's last comment is between me and the cleanup crew.
	♥ 10:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Paul Westphal gone this week, too.
	10:44pm Mister Dobalina: Cool tune.
	♥ 10:44pm Matt Fiveash: Every once in a while Heinsohn and Bob Cousy would wind up together as announcers on Celtics telecasts, and I guess you would have to know what both those guys looked and sounded like to appreciate this, but it's amazing how much they resembled a live action Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble...
	10:45pm Joe B: ha! i loved heinsohn on the sunday afternoon CBS games. My dad took a charge from him once in a CYO game at white eagle hall!
	10:45pm Patrick: How did Tommy Heinsohn grow up in Hudson County and have a Boston accent.
	10:45pm Georgia: Chop scott, if you’re still out there did you mean the little red school house on bleecker st?
	♥ 10:47pm Ira: Georgia, the topic is basketball, please. Your career as the scoreboard operator is something everyone's waiting to hear about.
	10:49pm Roberto: Ira, if your wife's name is Georgia, can we just count her votes and be done?
	10:49pm vj pussycat: when i'm 64 (again)
	10:49pm Georgia: Well I don’t remember much but putting up points was fun. And hanging on the sidelines with the cheerleaders was too.
	♥ 10:50pm mariano: When I was 9-10 I was such a Beatles fanatic that I assumed they played all the instruments, including the woodwinds on "64" and strings on "Eleanor Rigby."
	10:51pm Joe B: @mariano - reinforced in yellow submarine when they disguise as the lonely hearts club band!
	♥ 10:51pm Chop Scott: @Georgia--Yes! I believe that there is an existing thread of the school on the UWS as well.
	10:52pm vj pussycat: i prefer unprofessional
	10:53pm Mister Dobalina: Rob Dubz is the man!
	10:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for the acknowledgment on The Jack Cades, Ira. When I play DJ Technics I will return the favor!
	♥ 10:54pm mariano: Joe B: Yeah, that's right. "Yellow Submarine" = fake news!
	♥ 10:55pm Ira: @Roberto: Works for me!
	♥ 10:56pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: Paul did play the trumpet on "Only a Northern Song," and it shows.
	♥ 10:58pm mariano: Interesting choice of name, the Jack Cades. Cade was an English rebel in the 15th century, makes an appearance in one of Shakespeare's "Henry VI" plays. Gaylord: Ah, did not know that, thanks. It was only recently that I learned he played lead guitar on "Tax Man" and did the lead riffs on "Tomorrow Never Knows."
	11:04pm Dusty: Jack Casady is awesome.
	♥ 11:07pm Senor Headache: Yes! That was one of best Airplane jams; Marty's voice sounds like liquid gold in my ears.
	11:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I gave The Phantom Movers some mix tapes to listen to on the road once...Danny Mihm made a point to tell me he did not care for "Bang Bang Shoot 'Em Daddy".
	♥ 11:08pm Ira: But he LOVED DJ Technics!
	♥ 11:10pm dave wuz here: yeah but lefty frizzell
	11:12pm vj pussycat: just finished the penultimate hour
	♥ 11:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Penultimate = second to last
	♥ 11:15pm Gaylord Fields: @vj pussycat @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Did you know that the word "penultimate" is not in the dictionary?
	11:16pm vj pussycat: no. i learned it somewhere tho a long time ago. i always appreciate that word for some reason.
	11:17pm Michael Shore: @IraK ever hear Fripp on Walter Steding's cover of "Hound Dog"? Awoooooo!
	♥ 11:18pm Ira: I know you're a fan, Michael, and I too love his guitar playing in non-KC contexts.
	♥ 11:28pm Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍•ᴗ•◍꒱:+
	11:33pm John L: Speaking of King Crimson, the song Providence, from their Red album, would fit nicely in this set. Well, the first five minutes, until it starts to get a bit chunky.
	11:33pm Michael Shore: I think Jason from Houston is requesting something from Aoxomoxoa.
	♥ 11:35pm Jason from Houston: Nah. I am good. Hahaha...
	♥ 11:35pm mariano: Gaylord: The first time someone did the old "Did you know the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?" my immediate reply was "Really?" I was 11 or 12, but still.
	♥ 11:35pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:36pm Michael Shore: actually "What's Become of the Baby?" would fit in this set as well as KC's "Providence" (or "Moonchild") (or "We'll Let You Know")...
	♥ 11:37pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: I think I'm going to have a dictionary printed that omits "gullible."
	♥ 11:43pm mariano: You could build a good magic trick around that, Gaylord. Disappearing word. You'd need a regular dictionary as well, do the old switcheroo.
	11:45pm Jedley: Georgia!!!!!!
	♥ 11:49pm mariano: I know, Jedley, right? This is just too good :)
	♥ 11:49pm spodiodi: ain't that a peach
	♥ 11:49pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:51pm Jason from Houston: L U L L A B Y
	♥ 11:53pm Micheal: Space is the Place. Thanks, Ira!
	♥ 11:54pm Ira: Thanks for listening, everybody.
	♥ 11:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Ira thanks, Crew!
	♥ 11:56pm spodiodi: great closer
	♥ 11:56pm mariano: Thank you Ira, great show! Thank you Skeleton Crew, see everyone chez Dash!
	11:56pm Lori from Eau Claire: This one is going to stick to my dreams!
	♥ 11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Such a good closer
	11:57pm Andres: I’m slow. Face The Music - Nice! A lot less anxious than the Nov. 3rd show. Thanks, Ira!
	♥ 11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. Thanks, skeleton crew. Thanks, all you Georgias out there!
	11:58pm Joe B: thanks Ira!
	11:58pm Michael Shore: GREAT SHOW IRA HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU N GEORGIA (where Warnock leads, Ossoff tied right now....)
	11:58pm vj pussycat: thank you ira for another fun show. you are a natural born dj
	♥ 11:59pm Jason from Houston: Sweet dreams when you get there, good people. ꒰●꒡ ‿ ꒡●꒱

	10:08pm Joe B: early bird gets a sequel
	10:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Joe B: I wonder what some of the songs are that J. Geils Band played live in the early days and never recorded...
	10:12pm ignatatus666: All this scratchins making me itch... This is hot like lava Can’t get out of the car now
	♥ 10:13pm Corey: Evening Ira and listeners! Thanks for the great election returns refreshing soundtrack!
	♥ 10:14pm Matt Fiveash: Since all the experts are gathered here, maybe someone can answer the question that has vexed me for many years: on First I Look at the Purse, is he saying that he doesn't care if she "wobbles like a duck", or is it "waddles like a duck"?
	10:15pm bud: ok switching this off for now !
	10:16pm Libby’s Mom: Proud to be an old hippie ✌🏼
	♥ 10:17pm Tome: .... agrees with the above wholeheartedly
	♥ 10:17pm Tome: Great Show Ira !<>!
	10:19pm Owen: just tuned in, I love this song!! (old hippie) was just thinking about it today!

	10:22pm thesecoronalives: when i'm 64 !
	10:22pm yippie: can we advertise weed on wfmu now?
	♥ 10:23pm spodiodi: Matt Fiveash, waddle seems to make more sense to me (great song, never heard it before)
	10:23pm wenzo llc.: Willie Nelson got into that didn't he? I think he has a strain... if not several...
	10:23pm Roberto: I went to college with Tom Poston's son.
	10:23pm Joe B: didn't know about the weed business but I did know that Neil Diamond had first crack at let your love flow and passed
	♥ 10:24pm mariano: Reminds me of that Onion headline (I'm adjusting the ages since the article's over 10 years old): "70-Year-Old Hippie Pitied by 50-Year-Old Punk."
	10:24pm Roberto: Sad end for Orson Bean last year, making it to 91 then getting dispatched by a car while attempting to cross the street.
	♥ 10:25pm Matt Fiveash: spodiodi- waddle does makes more sense, but on the record it really sounds like wobble.
	♥ 10:26pm mariano: Anyone remember the hooker in "Man with Two Brains" singing "Duke of Earl" with her really squeaky voice?
	10:26pm wenzo llc.: my mom claims I came home singing this after getting in a fight at school in the second grade... think that's the only time Ive ever won a fight or remained standing haha
	♥ 10:26pm spodiodi: Matt Fiveash, noted. i'll listen closely next i hear it
	♥ 10:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Al Bundy used to sing this.
	♥ 10:27pm spodiodi: no but i remember Cypress Hill sampling it in Hand on the Pump, mariano
	10:30pm wendy del formaggio: Please don’t throw things at me, but I really don’t generally care for doo-wop. That said, the “umm-mumma” bits in “Duke of Earl” make me happy.
	♥ 10:31pm Chop Scott: Orson Bean was a very interesting man--a devotee of Reichian therapy--wrote a curious book "Me & The Orgone", and he and his wife helped start the Little Red School on the UWS in the 1970's..
	10:31pm wenzo llc.: I won't but I don't think I coule hit you from here anyway...
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: spodi: That's right, been ages since I've given CH a listen.
	♥ 10:31pm spodiodi: puts throwin' money back in wallet
	♥ 10:32pm spodiodi: (aloha, wendy del formaggio) :)
	♥ 10:33pm spodiodi: i thought Ira was going west-coast for a sec there, mariano
	♥ 10:33pm spodiodi: (then the rest happened)
	♥ 10:33pm Ira: You can't guard me, spodiodi!
	10:34pm wendy del formaggio: @Spodi: Rats! I shoulda been more clear. “Please don’t throw anything at me unless it’s money, but...”
	♥ 10:34pm spodiodi: shakes fist
	♥ 10:34pm Ira: spodiodi: It's the crossover dribble that gets 'em. Every time. Speaking of which, if you're still out there, Matt Fiveash, sorry to read about the passing of KC Jones.
	10:35pm ignatatus666: @wendydelformaggio Some people don’t care for Cambazola I like both
	10:36pm Joe B: KC Jones - rare example of great player also great coach
	♥ 10:37pm Ira: Don't forget Isiah Thomas, Joe!
	10:37pm Joe B: welcome to the playoffs!
	♥ 10:38pm Matt Fiveash: Thanks Ira. Tought to lose Tommy Heinsohn and KC in such quick succession. Other than that it was a pretty good year though!
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: @ignat: In the fromages-portmanteaux category, Cambozola is pretty good. I bet you could bake it en croute and that would be kinda fabulous.
	10:39pm Joe B: hudson county's own tommy heinsohn!
	♥ 10:40pm Ira: Luckily the webcam is shut off, so that my spit take at Matt Fiveash's last comment is between me and the cleanup crew.
	♥ 10:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Paul Westphal gone this week, too.
	10:44pm Mister Dobalina: Cool tune.
	♥ 10:44pm Matt Fiveash: Every once in a while Heinsohn and Bob Cousy would wind up together as announcers on Celtics telecasts, and I guess you would have to know what both those guys looked and sounded like to appreciate this, but it's amazing how much they resembled a live action Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble...
	10:45pm Joe B: ha! i loved heinsohn on the sunday afternoon CBS games. My dad took a charge from him once in a CYO game at white eagle hall!
	10:45pm Patrick: How did Tommy Heinsohn grow up in Hudson County and have a Boston accent.
	10:45pm Georgia: Chop scott, if you’re still out there did you mean the little red school house on bleecker st?
	♥ 10:47pm Ira: Georgia, the topic is basketball, please. Your career as the scoreboard operator is something everyone's waiting to hear about.
	10:49pm Roberto: Ira, if your wife's name is Georgia, can we just count her votes and be done?
	10:49pm vj pussycat: when i'm 64 (again)
	10:49pm Georgia: Well I don’t remember much but putting up points was fun. And hanging on the sidelines with the cheerleaders was too.
	♥ 10:50pm mariano: When I was 9-10 I was such a Beatles fanatic that I assumed they played all the instruments, including the woodwinds on "64" and strings on "Eleanor Rigby."
	10:51pm Joe B: @mariano - reinforced in yellow submarine when they disguise as the lonely hearts club band!
	♥ 10:51pm Chop Scott: @Georgia--Yes! I believe that there is an existing thread of the school on the UWS as well.
	10:52pm vj pussycat: i prefer unprofessional
	10:53pm Mister Dobalina: Rob Dubz is the man!
	10:54pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks for the acknowledgment on The Jack Cades, Ira. When I play DJ Technics I will return the favor!
	♥ 10:54pm mariano: Joe B: Yeah, that's right. "Yellow Submarine" = fake news!
	♥ 10:55pm Ira: @Roberto: Works for me!
	♥ 10:56pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: Paul did play the trumpet on "Only a Northern Song," and it shows.
	♥ 10:58pm mariano: Interesting choice of name, the Jack Cades. Cade was an English rebel in the 15th century, makes an appearance in one of Shakespeare's "Henry VI" plays. Gaylord: Ah, did not know that, thanks. It was only recently that I learned he played lead guitar on "Tax Man" and did the lead riffs on "Tomorrow Never Knows."
	11:04pm Dusty: Jack Casady is awesome.
	♥ 11:07pm Senor Headache: Yes! That was one of best Airplane jams; Marty's voice sounds like liquid gold in my ears.
	11:08pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I gave The Phantom Movers some mix tapes to listen to on the road once...Danny Mihm made a point to tell me he did not care for "Bang Bang Shoot 'Em Daddy".
	♥ 11:08pm Ira: But he LOVED DJ Technics!
	♥ 11:10pm dave wuz here: yeah but lefty frizzell
	11:12pm vj pussycat: just finished the penultimate hour
	♥ 11:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Penultimate = second to last
	♥ 11:15pm Gaylord Fields: @vj pussycat @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Did you know that the word "penultimate" is not in the dictionary?
	11:16pm vj pussycat: no. i learned it somewhere tho a long time ago. i always appreciate that word for some reason.
	11:17pm Michael Shore: @IraK ever hear Fripp on Walter Steding's cover of "Hound Dog"? Awoooooo!
	♥ 11:18pm Ira: I know you're a fan, Michael, and I too love his guitar playing in non-KC contexts.
	♥ 11:28pm Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍•ᴗ•◍꒱:+
	11:33pm John L: Speaking of King Crimson, the song Providence, from their Red album, would fit nicely in this set. Well, the first five minutes, until it starts to get a bit chunky.
	11:33pm Michael Shore: I think Jason from Houston is requesting something from Aoxomoxoa.
	♥ 11:35pm Jason from Houston: Nah. I am good. Hahaha...
	♥ 11:35pm mariano: Gaylord: The first time someone did the old "Did you know the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?" my immediate reply was "Really?" I was 11 or 12, but still.
	♥ 11:35pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:36pm Michael Shore: actually "What's Become of the Baby?" would fit in this set as well as KC's "Providence" (or "Moonchild") (or "We'll Let You Know")...
	♥ 11:37pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: I think I'm going to have a dictionary printed that omits "gullible."
	♥ 11:43pm mariano: You could build a good magic trick around that, Gaylord. Disappearing word. You'd need a regular dictionary as well, do the old switcheroo.
	11:45pm Jedley: Georgia!!!!!!
	♥ 11:49pm mariano: I know, Jedley, right? This is just too good :)
	♥ 11:49pm spodiodi: ain't that a peach
	♥ 11:49pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:51pm Jason from Houston: L U L L A B Y
	♥ 11:53pm Micheal: Space is the Place. Thanks, Ira!
