	9:12am Son Of Pantz: Oooo a creepy start to the day
	9:12am melinda: Great start!
	👻 9:12am Webhamster Henry: Doing a little fascinating rhythm this morning.
	9:12am Krys O.: Greetings! I have a distinct memory of listening to the entire Tubular Bells album on a snowy evening as a kid. LOVED IT!
	9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @fred: Agree! And I happened to listen to Reich's Octet/Violin Phase yesterday morning.
	9:13am Mike W: yer mother stuffs boxes... in HELL
	9:13am swivs: pea soup, anyone?
	9:14am OldGringo: Forward into the past!
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: If you haven't seen it there's an incredible video of Tubular Bells live at the BBC in 1973, featuring among others Fred Frith, Mick Tayor, and Steve Hillage: forums.stevehoffman.tv...
	9:14am JG: I actually have pea soup for lunch today. Damn
	9:14am TonyR: No, no. Jersey City mothership is all cleaned up. Let her get the swag out.
	9:15am Mike W: The Devil: “This is a good song” Father Merrin: “Don’t listen to him — the devil LIES”
	👻 9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Today's radio experiment: Seeing if pigeon dander adds pops and crackles to LP recordings.
	9:15am Listener Scott: Just last week I watched that BBC video Yeti Bob points to, which I'd never seen before. Great stuff.
	👻 9:15am Webhamster Henry: Excellent surface noise on this cut! Pops, clicks a few jumps and scrapes!
	9:15am JT: Analog
	9:15am Joe McG: @Henry: Station copy. Of course my own copy is immaculate!
	9:16am TonyR: The CD is clean.... TOO clean.
	9:16am Krys O.: That is a fab video, Yeti Bob. I recall seeing it several years ago. I'm a big Oldfield fan.
	9:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Wow! That's some guitar firepower right there.
	👻 9:16am Threemoons: Morning, Joe McG, fellow YipYips. Conference call in a bit.
	👻 9:17am Webhamster Henry: there's also the Brooklyn Organ Synth Orchestra version, from Joe McGinty's studio. www.youtube.com...
	9:17am TonyR: So McGasko the record sprite can be found in the Jersey City library again on magical mornings??
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: Krys: I was pleasantly surprised to see Fred Frith pop up there, he's one of my all-time favorites.
	9:18am Dano59: Morning Joe ... I had to tune out on Tubular Bells ... though it did come up in my Music Journalism History group over the weekend; free-for-all discussion of the music of 1973.
	9:19am TonyR: 1973-1974 was Peak Single - more 7" records sold than ever before or since.
	9:19am Joe McG: @TonyR: I never left, Tony. "Skeleton crew" member.
	9:20am TonyR: Salut, essential worker!
	9:20am TonyR: ""GIVE MY DJ THE SHOT!"
	9:21am Krys O.: Arpeggiators rule!
	9:21am Mark Hurst: Morning, Joe! Hi all!
	9:21am Dano59: now yer talkin'! I love Pete's demos/outtakes.
	9:21am melinda: yay, baba
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: @TonyR Joe is a skeleton, and also, somebody has to pack those Marathon premiums!
	9:22am Yes: :)
	9:22am Rachel Bo Bachel: Now I know what the theme is- fluttery synthesizers! Gm all!
	9:22am Villainous Fats: I'm enjoying this opening set of "Telephone" going on here.
	9:22am The Oscar: Not sure if anyone's seen the Adult Swim show Joe Pera Talks to You, but there's a really charming episode about the main character hearing "Baba O'Riley" for the first time. Also features Jo Firestone!
	9:22am John from Madison: An album you let play from a to b. Good stuff.
	9:22am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: Fred Frith used to come down to the station in East Orange as a special guest of Jim Price. Fred would program the show and Jim would engineer. I met him there a couple of times. Peter Blegvad also appeared on Jim's show.
	9:23am Dano59: That's fascinating @TonyR -- what's your source for that factoid?
	9:23am Roberto: Baba seemed to have a resurgence in the early '80s, so much so that I didn't realize at the time that it had been released 10 years earlier.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like TheWhoot.
	9:23am John from Madison: (Who's next)
	9:23am melinda: This could be used as a karaoke backup if one was compelled to belt out the lyrics
	👻 9:24am Webhamster Henry: If you don't get to Laurie Spiegel's Patchwork I'll be very disappointed.
	9:24am Zimharry: O o o.........Baba this way is like top o' the muffin!
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: Krys: And I was listening attentively! For years I even had some cassettes recordings of Fred's shows but I don't know where they are now. I can fairly say that Fred Frith opened up my mind when I was an impressionable teenager - one of my gateways from punk rock to total freedom.
	9:24am Dano59: Elton John certainly played some fluttery synths, ca. '73
	9:24am Jim the Poet: CSI Jersey City
	9:25am Eddie Casey: There was an extended version of the instrumental "Baba O'Riley" that was on the Meher Baba Tribute album released in the 70's. The song is a homage to Baba and Terry Riley.
	👻 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: You can't spell demon without demo. Is that the theme this morning?
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh really?
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: I met FF a few times at shows (with Bob Ostertag and Skeleton Crew) during his NY phase, he was always extremely gracious and funny, even though I'm sure I came across as a gushing fan-boy.
	9:26am theia: what a great way to start the day! :)
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I regret not purchasing Lifehouse Chronicles
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'TheWho are a PeteTownshend cover band'...
	9:26am illumated void: a friend of mine wrote this across the picture of my high school....... year book graduating year. he was tripping in those days.. I had no clue what he was talking about.. hahahaha
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: I would not be who I am today without Fred Frith and Eugene Chadbourne ...
	9:27am TDK60: I've never had eel pie.
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I made up a road trip cassette called "Difficult Listening" and it had a Frith track that sounded something like an electric guitar being dismantled with a pair of pliers. It was not my wife's favorite.
	9:28am Dano59: I still wonder if Lifehouse would have been even better received then than Who's Next. (a parlor game, really, like compiling a Dylan album for Columbia to release in late '66)
	9:28am Joe McG: @TDK60: Man, I love eel. Haven't had any in a while! Come to think of it, ain't had any pie lately, either.
	9:28am TonyR: This hoary olsd Who chestnut is like a solid old house. Good bones once you strip away the trim.
	9:28am p/b: GM Joe WMUppl
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: Unagi! Yum.
	👻 9:29am Webhamster Henry: Now I want some unagi rolls. Badly.
	9:29am Mark Hurst: @Webham "wizard needs food"
	9:29am TDK60: Joe, I thought only the British ate that but I now see, New Jerseyans do too.
	9:30am Dano59: Frith came to Cornell a couple times over the last 4-5 years to lecture music students and do public events.
	9:30am illumated void: my girlfriend made a chocolate cake yesterday
	9:30am Yes: mmm breakfast pie
	9:30am Acid Cazh: I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday, and I feel cranky as effing hell So I had to come here to say I fucking hate The Who, so you've been on mute for the goddamn thirty minutes it takes for this stupid song to finish playing That's all, signing back out now, I love you Joe and very much looking forward to the whenever this track ends and I can turn the sound back on.
	9:30am Joe McG: Oh, hey, Mark, missed you up there!
	9:30am TerrDE: Pete can sing as well as a lot of lead singers. If we never heard Roger we wouldn't miss him when Pete sings
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: Woods: I just got back from a long road trip and I found that all the "weird" stuff on my playlists didn't work at all. Wound up listening to Quadropheina over and over (great driving music) and a whole lot of Willie Nelson, who I decided was my patron saint for the trip.
	9:31am Roberto: O hai Mark!
	9:31am Joe McG: @AcidL Coast is clear.
	9:31am Mark Hurst: @Roberto you're tearing us apaaaart
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. The rain dogs are with us today, much needed. Eels are buggers to skin.
	👻 9:31am Webhamster Henry: A little hard to find these days, but look up "Feeling Prudence's Babas" by Chris "ccc" Cutler.
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: Acid Cazh: You would have hated my road trip, I must have played Quadrophenia like 10 times.
	9:31am Acid Cazh: Yaaay thank you! Back on. 👍
	9:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Quadrophenia is just impossibly great...unless you've just had your 2nd Pfizer shot and is a cranky sumbitch.
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho stand @ the center of my heart ...wonder what became of any of them...
	9:33am John from Madison: At acid, is that your kitty's I want treats face?
	9:34am Roberto: Does The Room make your shiver? Does it?
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: I have had the Astra Zeneca jab (shot!!) makes me hate fascists.
	9:35am illumated void: discovered quadraphonia when I first could put album on turn table. pretty young. elder siblings had them . no súper visión can work out sometime
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo grumpyman's kiggykat. AcidCazh - ThankYou for doing your part for herd immunity.
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: @WebHenry: I assume that's a different fellow than Chris "RecRec" Cutler (of Henry Cow fame)?
	9:36am illumated void: does herd immunity work with gene therapy? I thought that was homeopathic way old vaccines.. get some poison develop immunity?
	9:36am The Oscar: Got my second shot one week ago today. Next week, one of my favorite independent movie theaters up here in Boston opens back up. Things are actually looking... good?
	9:36am Acid Cazh: @YETI BOB: I used to like The Who, but then I listened to them carefully and, well, didn't hold up (for me). I will say that the first time I heard that bloated three-song mini-rock opera (the one they did for Rock And Roll Circus) I wanted to jam a screwdriver in each ear to get the sound to go away. But yeah, post second-shot trying to work (I didn't want to burn a sick day!) there was no way I could sit through Baba O'Riley today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	9:37am Son Of Pantz: Is this a warning not to drink while dancing or drink before dancing?
	9:37am Acid Cazh: @John from Madison: That morning he wanted me to get back in bed so he could sit on my chest and get pets. He's a very demanding, physically needy cat. A big ol' cuddleslut.
	9:37am Joe McG: @Pantz: Hmm....ambiguous Norwegians!
	9:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: It’s the disembodied fiddle of Baba O’Riley :D
	9:38am Joe McG: @RBR: :)
	👻 9:38am Threemoons: Already favorited this set. Blazing!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: AcidCazh: That's fine of course and I don't want to argue. But the more I listen to the Who the more impressed I am by them, especially Entwistle's bass work. I play a little bit of bass and Entwistle is an inspiration for me.
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: We have signs over here 'Do not drink & Drive you might spill it'
	9:39am Roberto: Haha cuddleslut! I'm going to use that.
	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: Also they made some terrible records, but when they were good, they were great.
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Horrible 'Oo - who make the worst sound you've ever heard in your life.' - Roger Daltrey
	9:40am Acid Cazh: @YETI BOB: The bass is probably the instrument I appreciate most in The Who, won't lie about that!
	👻 9:41am Brian in UK: Not a big fan of loud music though I do like music loud. The Who filled the stage, they were the best of that type..
	9:42am TDK60: Trios bug me. Just kiddin.'
	9:42am TerrDE: Is the Violinist from Kronos ? He has the same lack of vibrato
	9:42am HyperDose: This right here is good stuff, Joe.
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I found an original version of Live at Leeds (mint condition!) a couple of summers ago. Even had the poster. I know it was an edit but man, so intense.
	9:43am Dano59: .@Yeti Bob: heard a great alt-country song last year about passing Willie's tour bus on the highway. NSF the FCC however.
	9:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe :) good idea re: pie! What’s in season now? Rhubarb?
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: I haven't attended very many concerts in my life, but I did catch John Entwistle at The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie. I was a good show.
	9:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Where’s Estephonic? She loves pie!
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woods : www.bbc.co.uk...
	9:47am Dano59: Eel is a Christmas Eve traditional dish for southern Italians (as part of the Feast of the Seven Fishes). Never much liked it ... that and Baccala.
	👻 9:47am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe! Hi everybody!
	9:48am Dano59: and Eel Pie for you non-Who heads is Pete's publishing company name named for the island studio (which famously burned, taking master tapes with it) on the Thames.
	9:49am TonyR: I find I can't stream too much avant-garde stuff on WFMU. The streaming bitrate just turns it into something else entirely. Dr, V, Gtr: these are a few of my favorite things that my brain can deal with at 128k.
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Thanks! i'll give that a listen. I remember watching a doc on youtube about the album. It had Rick Wakeman going bonkers about it.
	9:49am Dano59: ... I have this Ronnie CD. Yay for playing it!
	9:49am Mmph: Stargazy pie a la mode
	9:50am Son Of Pantz: I always thought kuschty was Cockney slang.
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Only in Fools & Horses.
	9:52am melinda: I've mentioned it before but Ronnie Lane was my first (and I think only) music celebrity sighting, saw him at the Whole Foods market in his wheelchair shortly after he was on the cover of Rolling Stone in the 80s. A big deal back then before famous people were moving to Austin.
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Throwing a Shropshire Fidget pie into the mix.
	9:53am TonyR: Pie!
	9:53am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow! Closest I've come was Ian MacLagan when he was here at FMU on Joe Belock's show. My one degree of separation with Ronnie Lane.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: melinda, I remember an interview with him when he said the even his hair hurts, MS is a nasty beast.
	9:55am TonyR: @Brian: that just sounds all kinds of awful.
	9:56am TDK60: Brian, not being British, I ask what is fidget pie, as made in Shropshire?
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: TonyR some things you never forget.
	👻 9:57am Brian in UK: TDK60, not for you my friend. Ham, Apple & Potatoes as the basics.
	9:57am Uncle Michael: I recognized Johnny Flynn's voice from Detectorists! Good morning!
	9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Detectorists the TV show ? :)
	9:58am Joe McG: @UM: I loved that show!
	9:59am TonyR: And fidgetspinner pie?
	9:59am Uncle Michael: Yep. Flynn sang the theme, and appeared once.
	9:59am Son Of Pantz: Joe McG, the original 60 minute man. That was a long set.
	9:59am Dennis Diken: alas, when I saw Faces in '75 Ronnie had already split from the band, Tetsu was on bass. never did get to see Ronnie. sure love his songs, voice and vibe
	👻 9:59am tadpoles: Excellent doc. on Ronnie Lane: www.imdb.com...
	👻 9:59am Ken From Hyde Park: The annual eel migration up the Hudson is probably about over for this year. The little buggers swim right past Montgomery Street. www.dec.ny.gov...
	10:00am theia: fantastic show Joe
	10:00am melinda: @Brian in the UK that's awful :(
	10:00am TonyR: That's live radio for ya!
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Steve Marriott pressed everything hard.
	10:04am The Oscar: I didn't see Stardust, and from the trailers it looked... not great. That said, Flynn was great in last year's version of Emma.
	10:04am Planet Tyler: Reviews for Stardust were amusingly awful
	10:06am The Oscar: @Planet Tyler I was tempted to review it for that very reason, but it was tough to justify given that it came out in the middle of Oscar season.
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: Flynn got out of Stardust with some credit despite awful reviews.
	10:07am Rob W: Oh yeah we liked Johnny Flynn's Detectorists theme song (and the show itself) - and nice that you played the new Nordic Fiddlers Bloc album Joe!
	10:07am fm Mike: This background music reminds me of the Marx Brothers, where Harpo played the harp. I wanna say it was "A Night At The Opera". It was played on the ship.
	10:08am Stephen: Hi Joe. FYI, I just returned to see that Larry Fast from his Synergy LP was played but it wasn’t listed on the playlist or am I hearing things?
	10:08am miniteeny: Folk music is welcomed
	10:11am Mice of Mu: cool—my wife recently repaired an old Hardanger fiddle
	10:12am sphere: hello. this Yasmin Williams tune is pretty damn good.
	10:14am Uncle Michael: I pat myself on the back, Rob: tinyurl.com...
	10:14am sphere: also, I love Hardanger fiddle. :)
	10:14am Joe McG: @Stephen: No, no Larry Fast today. Maybe you heard the Pete Townshend?
	10:15am Yes: very nice this caddo lake
	10:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of 'Geraldine' by Donovan...
	10:15am Joe McG: Hey Rob! I love Norwegian fiddle playing!
	10:16am Uncle Michael: Show of hands...who had the Larry Fast clear vinyl? I have no idea who stole mine.
	👻 10:16am Hughie Considine: I'm getting a "Bron-yr-Aur" vibe from this lovely acoustic reverie.
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hughie they were all, say, acolytes of Bert Jansch - who probly got most of it from Davey Graham...
	👻 10:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Eli is not a brother of Edgar & Johnny, I'm guessing?
	👻 10:19am Hughie Considine: Indeed, @RR. Bert was the man from whom Jimmy P copped "Black Water Side." What a fine player.
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Sounds like Irene Trudel is on early!!
	10:19am Joe McG: "Bert and John" is another nice duet guitar album in this vein.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Don't tell Irene I'm stealing her schtick!
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John Renbourn - whom Bert was in Pentangle with...
	10:24am βrian: Hey, I like this schtick. Good morning. It's a cool, creamy day on the isthmus.
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just drop yer E to D & yer halfway to trance...
	10:26am neil quarantino: @Uncle Michael, me!
	10:26am Dano59: Willie Dunn is great. Love his songs on the Native North America LPs
	10:27am βrian: We harvested our first rhubarb and baked a pie. Spring has officially arrived in our household.
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Thinking of Tom Rush's version of 'Urge For Going' ...little pulloff thing on gittar... Folk is always such a strange familiar place...
	👻 10:30am Marley P. Dogg: Great set!
	10:30am sphere: I remember Lou Reed explaining to someone that his guitar strings were tuned to one note.
	10:30am theia: beautiful
	10:31am Stephen: @Joe: Actually, it was the second cut you played. Is possible that the Synergy LP was mistakenly inserted in the Mike Oldfield sleeve? Doesn’t matter. I wait for the archive to see if I have Alzheimer’s
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere - sounds like Glenn Branca action...
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or what Cale did with viola...
	10:33am sphere: Good wiki article on Lou's "ostrich guitar" tuning: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:33am TDK60: I like the folks music; horses don't play it.
	10:36am Joe McG: @TDK: I forget who said that quote. Was it Burl Ives or somebody? @Stephen: No, that was definitely Mike Oldfield.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere - Thx! Wasn't really aware! How much/often did Lou use that ?!
	10:38am Dayffid: Why do Glasgow bands never actually sound like they are from Glasgow?
	10:39am TDK60: Joe, it was Louis Armstrong!
	10:40am sphere: @ RRN63 - I don't know. I believe Lou did use the ostrich guitar tuning on "Heroin" but that's all I got.
	10:40am Joe McG: @TDK: Ah, thanks! He was a genius in so many ways. Just saw him on an old episode of "What's My Line?"
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: Dayffid, most bands do not want to sound like where they come from.
	👻 10:40am chresti: Hi Joe with the pretty style!
	10:41am TonyR: So far, the Butlers aren't exactly bringin' the adrenaline. Oh, abc records....
	10:41am TDK60: ..I /think/ it was Armstrong. Or maybe an urban myth?
	10:41am sphere: Louis Armstrong would end his letters with "Red beans and nicely yours." Too cool!
	10:41am sphere: sorry: "Red Beans and ricely yours."
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: TDK60, All music is Folk music, was that the quote.
	10:42am Joe McG: @TonyR: I think this record is unhinged!
	👻 10:42am Hughie Considine: Satchmo and Burl Ives both appeared on "Walt Disney's Merriest Songs," a 1968 compilation.
	10:42am The Oscar: Been busy working, but WHOA these Butlers!
	10:42am TonyR: It is now. abc execs are like, "We need something for the hippies."
	10:43am Dano59: "All music is folk music" is the line I used to bait folk nazis with... "The Beatles are folk music," for example.
	10:43am TDK60: Something like that, Brian. I don't have time at the moment to go research...
	10:43am miniteeny: Transport to 1970’s
	👻 10:43am chresti: Wow Sir Henry and His Butlers.
	10:44am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks. Lots of love for this one!
	10:44am TonyR: I'm sure the Butlers are very nice people.
	10:44am Dano59: ABC also put out the Nashville soundtrack, and its singles... (I played 'It Don't Worry Me' on Saturday's May Day show)
	10:45am Krys O.: My ex's uncle was in a psychedelic band called Ford Theatre that was on ABC. en.wikipedia.org... They had two fine LPs. The second one was produced by Bill Szymczyk.
	10:45am Joe McG: Just noticed that the first 3 record labels were 3 letters. Note to self: Future Single File organization idea.
	👻 10:46am yerfriendpaul: Perfect pop song. So good
	10:46am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone!
	10:46am Krys O.: HA! Fun idea, Joe.
	10:46am sphere: I will bet money that Leland Sklar played bass on this Carole King tune.
	10:47am TonyR: I like rainbow labels: abc-paramount; capitol, liberty....
	10:48am Dano59: funny how this tune crosses doo-wop, girl-group stuff, and pre-Beatles rock in the pop era.
	10:48am TonyR: So the Butlers also covered "Let's Go", made famous by the Routers. i.ytimg.com... (Written by "O. Henry"? Srsly?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: Krys O impressed with anyone who can spill Szymczyk!
	👻 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: (EMI & RKO are candidate labels.)
	10:49am sphere: Unfortunately, I lost my bet to me about Leland Sklar. Dammit!
	10:49am TonyR: spell, even.
	10:49am Dano59: pay up, @sphere!
	10:50am Joe McG: @Ken: RCA, RAK, CUB, so many!
	10:50am Dano59: MCA, and now everything is UMG in the consolidation era. sad, really. I like the Arc label.
	10:50am TonyR: RCA, Vik (home of Pat Suzuki), Dot
	10:51am sphere: @Dano59 - I'm gonna hire a collection agency, but I don't think it will be any good.
	10:51am Moonbooger: Is Carol King related to Stephen King?
	10:51am Dano59: Dot!! that's a good one too
	👻 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Sun
	10:51am Yes: boogie time
	10:51am Dano59: Carole's real name is Klein...
	10:52am TonyR: RSO
	10:52am Hubig Pie: RSO, yo
	10:52am spodiodi: Klein King has a nice ring to it
	10:52am TonyR: PYE
	10:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah - label designs - mystical when very young...
	10:52am Dano59: I'm sure Joe has a soft spot for RSO records...
	10:52am Jinx: my favorite based on aesthetics, the Uni label.
	10:52am Son Of Pantz: "Screaming Goat"!
	10:53am TonyR: Cream's 70s reissues were on RSO.
	10:53am Dano59: Uni - Elton John, et al.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Jinx: Ooh, I think I agree. I buy the worst stuff on that label since I love the design so much.
	10:54am Jinx: and it's offspring, the MCA rainbow label.
	10:55am TerrDE: Joe were you wearing a leisure suit when you bought this?
	👻 10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and folks! I've got my spot at the end of the Single File line.
	10:56am Joe McG: @TerrDE: It's hard to say since I wear one so often.
	10:57am Doobois: Hey, Joe! Was that the right Saturday Night Band track?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Doobois: I was wondering that very thing. That's what the label says, but the whole song was "Don't take your love from me."
	10:58am Doobois: Well now. A very special 45 indeed.
	10:58am Joe McG: Enjoy this trumpet break, please.
	10:58am TerrDE: I had a great one . Big weave Polyester. I'd wear it and a hat that looked like a Turban and a huge Ceasars Palace gold medallion for Halloween
	10:59am Rachel Bo Bachel: We are groovin over here Joe- dance party w/ all three kids!
	👻 10:59am karlward: This could have been on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack
	11:00am Krys O.: BMG
	11:00am miniteeny: Pop n lock
	11:00am Dano59: I.R.S. (lest we forget)
	11:01am Joe McG: Bob Brainen is really jealous that I have this promo copy of an early Seals and Crofts single.
	11:01am Mmph: Is there anything better than close harmony? Is there?
	11:01am Krys O.: HMV
	👻 11:01am Hughie Considine: I wonder if there was a brief uptick in the name "Dash" during the heyday of (Jimmy) Seals and (Dash) Crofts. Surely their soft rock provided the soundtrack for many a happy 70s coupling...
	11:02am Joe McG: @hughie: Until they did that abortion song!
	11:03am TerrDE: They got political and ruined their careers.
	11:03am βrian: Oh, my brother's 12-string Epiphone!
	👻 11:03am Hughie Considine: @Joe, I'm speechless!
	11:03am Rachel Bo Bachel: Karlward how good is that soundtrack?
	11:03am Krys O.: @Joe: Stevie briefly toured with Seals & Crofts back then.
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Many years ago one of my favorite people who would hang around the record store greeted me with this as I walked in the store "Hey Tim! Did you hear Seals and Crofts changed their name to Arts and Crafts?"
	11:05am Joe McG: @Krys O.: Wow, there must be some stories there!
	👻 11:06am chresti: EMI
	11:06am Glorious Estephonic: this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard - i love the wind and so did my dear dog friend dashielle when i played it for him in 2015.
	11:07am Krys O.: @Joe: He said the guys were cool. It might have been just before stardom.
	👻 11:07am tadpoles: Is A&M three letters?
	👻 11:08am chresti: RAS
	11:08am judy from croton: Gabriel by seals and crofts was one of the songs that shaped my entire harmonic brain And there you have it
	11:08am steveo: this talkover bed music is making me nostalgic for something
	11:09am Fjordsson: Now I'm sad I missed that song haha
	11:09am spodiodi: you love it and you love making love to it
	11:09am Dennis Diken: Nolan Strong was a huge influence on fellow Detroiter Smokey Robinson
	11:09am judy from croton: Yes and yes!
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Great show, Joe. Hound and I need to get out for an abbreviated walk now. Much appreciated. Been working too hard over here but listening, too! Marley, if you're around, the Paulus Hook window is open in the mornings, and the Pier 11 window is still closed.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: 4AD
	11:11am judy from croton: Steveo, yes I know what you mean about the bed music nostalgia
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Probably shouldn't goggle "touch me on my hot spot" on the work computer...
	11:13am Rachel Bo Bachel: Whoa Joe re: hot spot!
	👻 11:14am 12539: tiny.cc... Hot Spot!
	11:14am βrian: Wha? Bass sitar?
	👻 11:14am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - thanks for the heads up - weird about pier 11
	11:14am Dano59: Today is Buster Cornelius Day!
	11:15am Karen: If you don’t want any welcome to May songs, how about a Pete Seeger? It’s his birthday.
	👻 11:15am Marley P. Dogg: Sam the wake computer has rights!
	11:15am Rachel Bo Bachel: Have a nice walk Handy and hound!
	11:15am The Oscar: Fun fact: if you ever order a pizza from "Pasqually's" on Grubhub, you are actually ordering a pizza from Chuck E. Cheese's.
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Monica! Monica!
	11:16am Jaylefus: "Touch me on my hot spot," Googled in quotes calls up the song, lyrics, and amazing album cover.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Blurgh, it's raining. We'll push it off a bit. Marley, they say they have registered my complaint and are working on reopening.
	11:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Screw the steel drums...play some Journey!!
	11:18am paul: Any suggestions on a Carolyn Hester album to buy?
	11:18am Joe McG: @Woods: You know, I don't think I've ever played Journey. I have to do that one of these days.
	11:18am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! Nice to hear the Fruit Bats on a day other than my birthday :)
	11:19am Joe McG: @paul: I like the one I played for pure folk music. If you want something a bit more late '60s, try one of her Carolyn Hester Coalition LPs. @Alex: Oh good, enjoy!
	11:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: The comments board caterwaul would be entertaining.
	👻 11:20am chresti: I don't think I've ever listened to Journey.
	11:21am paul: @Joe, thanks!
	11:21am Joe McG: @Woods: There's got to be at least one good song in their discography somewhere.
	11:21am HyperDose: The weather has me all "bah humbug!", but this playlist is delightful. :)
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): Happy birthday, Listener Alexandra!
	11:21am sphere: As a joke, I started to learn "Open Arms" but it actually is a really good song once you strip out Steve Perry's vocal overkill.
	11:22am JSchatz: Touch me on my hot spot is one of the best dance songs ever. Album is Come on Dance, Dance - Side 1 song 2. 13 minutes of heaven.
	11:22am Dano59: real nice Robyn Hitchcock vibe to this ...
	11:22am Yes: digging the fruit bats. first time hearing them
	11:22am Joe McG: @JSchatz: Can you tell me what song is on the B of my 7"?
	👻 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - I got your next set mapped out. Take a Journey to Boston for some Meatloaf.
	11:23am Joe McG: Oh, Dano, you are readin' my mind. It was either that or the Waterboys. @tim: Ha ha ha
	11:24am Dano59: have loved the Fruit Bats a long time. This is going on my buy list.
	11:24am steveo: The most-recent WFMU play of Journey seems to be a cover of It's All Too Much on EFD's show in March #themoreyouknow
	11:25am Joe McG: @steveo: Evan has already broached the Journey divide! But what does he think of Meat Loaf?
	👻 11:25am Hughie Considine: What a gem. "Element of Light" might well be Robyn's finest LP of the era.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe there's no-one left - @ aaallllllll....
	11:25am BARBARA J MURRAY: Good Morning Joe, great to hear you have an authograthed Steve Marriott album, where did you come by it if you don't mind me asking.
	11:25am steveo: i think he likes in with gravy :)
	11:25am steveo: it*
	11:26am Robin D.: Woke up in a funk and your show is making it all better! Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Does Journey have enough edge for The Metal District. Way back when they were considered hard rock but as time has gone by Journey seems more of a pop band.
	11:27am Joe McG: Happy to hear that, Robin!
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...after being a Who Apologist - ya gonna play Journey on me ...I see...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Barbara: I bought it at a record show for a couple of dollars. I don't think the dealer realized it was autographed.
	11:27am steveo: also in 2016 Mary Wing played an Open Arms 45 at 33rpm. I'll have to listen to that later
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @tim from champaign: They did rock pretty hard early on. I saw them open for (that knob) Ted Nugent shortly after Infinity came out. Neil Shon was all over that show.
	11:28am Tom from Homewood: Other than the Soft Boys (which I love), where's the best place to get into Robyn Hitchcock? Any suggestions?
	11:29am judy from croton: Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians my most fave of his music; perhaps the harmony
	11:30am Joe McG: @Tom: Hard to say; so much good. Maybe start with "I Often Dream of Trains" or "Element of Light."
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom geez - just start? & see him Live ! When Live exists again...
	👻 11:30am waters7: Only just tuned in. This is great! Thanks, Joe!
	11:31am Hubig Pie: Astral Weeks Boys
	11:31am TDK60: I recall when this Waterboys made a splash on college radio back then. Good album. There was sort of a folks/folks-rock thing goin' on mid-later '80s.
	11:31am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Thank you for this one Joe. I 💜 The Waterboys
	11:31am Dano59: very nice, Joe - who makes it so!
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: "Globe of Frogs" was my gateway. He does livestream concerts with Emma Swift every week.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Emily and Karen: I thought, "Why should I CHOOSE between Robyn H. and Mike Scott? And Van Morrison?"
	11:32am Dano59: @tom.homewood: Element of Light's a good start for Egyptians; also Perspex Island. I like Eye, Spooked, so many actually.
	11:33am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Lol, the funny thing is I really don't like Van
	11:33am TDK60: Tom from Homewood: Hitchcock's recent (a few years?) self-titled album is pretty good. Not bad to start recent and go back, maybe..
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): @Woods - what year was that show? Neil Schon played on the first couple Betty Davis albums. He could play some hard funk too.
	👻 11:34am Threemoons: Loving this Waterboys track.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Karen: Ha! I sit around downloading old Van Morrison concerts. Too bad he's turned into such a putz lately. I mean, an even bigger putz than before.
	11:34am JG: I'm reading a book about Van Morrison. It's pretty good. he's an immensely talented misfit. Maybe , I guess what they call " On the spectrum" I think the same was true of Micheal Jackson.
	11:34am Dano59: World Party for more of that soulful Irish awareness vibe too, Joe.
	11:35am Joe McG: @Dano: Sorry, Dano, not running downstairs again! :)
	11:35am Dano59: hey, you've done enough!
	👻 11:35am Threemoons: @Joe McG saw Van Morrison at SXSW a lifetime ago--not only was he a putz, but he insisted on playing this insipid lounge jazz crap. Lots of folks left mid-set, and more than one person shouted "Play MOONDANCE already!!"
	👻 11:35am John L: Tom from Homewood: Maybe his first solo album, Black Diamond Snake Roll. Plus what others have already suggested. I've like most of his more recent output, but his s/t 2017 release might be his best since Eye. Though I also love Spooked and Ole Tarantula and...oh hell.
	11:36am Dano59: Van was the last name to scratch off my bucket list in 2017, after seeing Joe Jackson in 2016. I guess I need a new bucket list, lest I face the bucket.
	👻 11:36am karlward: Oh no, did Van Morrison become Van Morrissey?
	11:36am Karen: Some American Banjo Folk would fit nicely now. ;) I’m extra partial to Pete Seeger on May 3rd because it’s my birthday too...
	👻 11:36am Threemoons: (I sat through the set because I had a full festival pass; it was a dead time of day, and I had a rare actual seat at a table at the venue and was able to pound back free margaritas and chips at something like 11 in the AM)
	11:37am Dano59: BD Snake 'Role' Groovy Decay / Gravy Deco? a few variations on that one.
	👻 11:37am Threemoons: @Karlward LOL
	11:37am Tom from Homewood: Thanks all. sounds like diving in anywhere does the trick. Everyone's suggestions are all over the place (in a good way). I'll poke around some.
	11:38am βrian: So damn many Creepy Vans out there!
	11:38am TDK60: Happy birthday, Karen. Seeger was no slouch on banjo.
	11:38am Dano59: Mossy Liquor / Moss Elixir. Really, there's no bad place to start if you're already a fan of Soft Boys.
	11:39am Joe McG: This singer reminds me A LOT of Neil Hannon.
	👻 11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): @Threemoons - That sounds like some version of a hell. Enticed by comfort, food and drinks then WHAM! you're stuck with a bumbling, crooning old man singing at you. No judgment here. I would have done the same thing - haha.
	11:41am Karen: @Brian makes sense. Unmarked vans we warn our children about, Camper Vans (Beethoven) where we get weird, ... Van Lyfe!
	11:41am Dano59: I have a real distaste for most deep male voices, Tindersticks among them. Except Leonard Cohen or Kristofferson - that's different.
	11:41am Karen: @TDK60 Thank you!
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas I love Crooners. Moody ♏︎Scorpio I reckon.
	11:42am Hubig Pie: Saw Van Morrison at the NOLA jazz fest mid-90's. He didn't learn the Spinal Tap lesson that you don't play free form jazz odyssey before a festival crowd
	👻 11:42am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - thanks for the great tunes this morning and getting my week started off right!
	11:42am Dano59: .@tom - Rhino did a massive set of reissues of RH records and one-off compilations back in the late '90s as I recall. Pure gold.
	11:43am Joe McG: My pleasure, Marley. Thx again for the little pieces of fast plastic!
	11:43am Gordon FM: This show is sounding very groovy from La La land. Thanks Joe.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DaleJ sounding like SteveForbert. That the poet of a towering jewel like AstralWeeks can be so wrong-headed... Out of step, I can reckon easy...
	11:45am Joe McG: You bet, Gordon! @RR63: I adore the Who and I adore Van Morrison, both up to about 1980.
	11:48am Yes: have to leave early. thank you, joe. lovely tunes today
	11:48am JG: Somebody in the book I'm reading said "van's brain is like 90% music" which you can imagine would be a very troubling disconnected from reality kind of way to go through life
	11:48am ?: The Bucket of Truth!
	11:48am Joe McG: Thanks for dropping by, Yes.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Ah Steve Goodman, a lovely fella with a sense of humour.
	11:49am Avrilinmay: that mood was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. What's new!!
	11:49am judy from croton: Never heard this Steve Goodman song Joe, I’ve said it before and I will say it again: thank you
	11:49am TDK60: Brian, did you meet Goodman? I saw him perform in a double bill with Martn, Bogan, & Armstrong. Got to party with them afterward. Left us too soon.
	11:50am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:50am Joe McG: Happy to oblige, judy!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG: That's exactly what Al Jardine just said about Brian Wilson on Michael Shelley's show !
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: TDK60 why yes.
	11:51am MFlynn: Joe, love the “folkie” spin to today’s show. Always appreciate hearing Steve Goodman! Thanks!
	11:51am judy from croton: TDK60: too true
	11:52am Joe McG: @MFlynn: Was just in that kind of mood today!
	11:52am JG: @RR63, You're right. I mixed it up. Brian wilson. ANyway i think morrison the same kind of thing
	11:52am MFlynn: Me too Joe! Really enjoyed it.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG - yeah - Van always was a 'handful'.
	11:53am theia: a great show today as always :)
	11:53am xindeed: Amazing show today. Helping office life immensely!
	11:53am Joe McG: @JG: Did he really give Bert Berns his fatal heart attack? Berns' wife thought so!
	11:54am Joe McG: @theia and xindeed: Thanks for saying hi today!
	11:54am βrian: For you Irene listeners: wfmu.org...
	11:54am Karen: Gotta say I love making this show fit my schedule now. I had a very lucky fluke Monday morning where I was able to tune in, and since then I’m so happy to seek out this show. Like the happy little accidents Bob Ross taught us, this show is serendipitous!
	11:54am JG: @ Joe, I'm only a third into the the book , so not up to that part yet. Will let you know.
	11:54am eric from lake hiawatha: Donny Hathaway. What a voice, styling.
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks thanks thanks, Joe Joe Joe!
	11:55am spodiodi: thanks, Joe!
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks everyone for tuning in today and listening and commenting. Have a great week, all! Welcome to May.
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe, for free-forming it up to an excellent degree this morning!
	11:56am TDK60: Hathaway left us too soon also. And I miss Leon Russell too. Sigh. Joe, thanks so much for the folks music and the other music by folks today.
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Cinco de Mayo is approaching!
	11:56am HyperDose: This was magical. Be well.
	11:56am Fjordsson: Donny Hathaway. From St. Louis but he's surprisingly not mentioned much here.
	11:56am SmokinJ: Killer set jm.. Bless Steve Goodman ! 8-)
	👻 11:57am bbob: Gorgeous set...Donny. Sigh.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG !
	11:57am Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Joe, Loved folk music since early childhood
	11:58am JG: But will add, for insight into these crazy geniuses, watch the documentary about Michael Jackson's last unrealized tour. When they guy is talking music / dance, he comes accross as brilliant. But any other topic, he really struggles to coonnect. by the way, the performances, only rehearsals, so only at about 60 to 70% , are amazing
	11:59am listener 126464: Thank you Joe.
	11:59am Toutevoix: Merci!
	👻 11:59am yerfriendpaul: Henry Darger's art is pretty incredible but you're right - his life was troubled. Great documentary on his life too. Check it out if you can.
	👻 11:59am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	👻 12:00pm Threemoons: Thank you Joe

	9:10am fred: Hello Joe and all Pretty strong Steve Reich vibe on that track
	9:11am TonyR: That was so great when you'd think Glass was done, but then he'd throw off his cape and come back downstage, crowd going wild.
	9:11am John from Madison: Greetings and salutations
	9:11am bob: thanks the Tee shirt joe luv ya
	👻 9:11am Webhamster Henry: Hi Monday Morning Discwashers!
	9:12am The Oscar: Lovely day for an exorcism!
	9:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: fred knows better see - Reich...
	9:12am John from Madison: Right on
	9:12am Son Of Pantz: Oooo a creepy start to the day
	9:12am melinda: Great start!
	👻 9:12am Webhamster Henry: Doing a little fascinating rhythm this morning.
	9:12am Krys O.: Greetings! I have a distinct memory of listening to the entire Tubular Bells album on a snowy evening as a kid. LOVED IT!
	9:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @fred: Agree! And I happened to listen to Reich's Octet/Violin Phase yesterday morning.
	9:13am Mike W: yer mother stuffs boxes... in HELL
	9:13am swivs: pea soup, anyone?
	9:14am OldGringo: Forward into the past!
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: If you haven't seen it there's an incredible video of Tubular Bells live at the BBC in 1973, featuring among others Fred Frith, Mick Tayor, and Steve Hillage: forums.stevehoffman.tv...
	9:14am JG: I actually have pea soup for lunch today. Damn
	9:14am TonyR: No, no. Jersey City mothership is all cleaned up. Let her get the swag out.
	9:15am Mike W: The Devil: “This is a good song” Father Merrin: “Don’t listen to him — the devil LIES”
	👻 9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Today's radio experiment: Seeing if pigeon dander adds pops and crackles to LP recordings.
	9:15am Listener Scott: Just last week I watched that BBC video Yeti Bob points to, which I'd never seen before. Great stuff.
	👻 9:15am Webhamster Henry: Excellent surface noise on this cut! Pops, clicks a few jumps and scrapes!
	9:15am JT: Analog
	9:15am Joe McG: @Henry: Station copy. Of course my own copy is immaculate!
	9:16am TonyR: The CD is clean.... TOO clean.
	9:16am Krys O.: That is a fab video, Yeti Bob. I recall seeing it several years ago. I'm a big Oldfield fan.
	9:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Wow! That's some guitar firepower right there.
	👻 9:16am Threemoons: Morning, Joe McG, fellow YipYips. Conference call in a bit.
	👻 9:17am Webhamster Henry: there's also the Brooklyn Organ Synth Orchestra version, from Joe McGinty's studio. www.youtube.com...
	9:17am TonyR: So McGasko the record sprite can be found in the Jersey City library again on magical mornings??
	👻 9:17am YETI BOB: Krys: I was pleasantly surprised to see Fred Frith pop up there, he's one of my all-time favorites.
	9:18am Dano59: Morning Joe ... I had to tune out on Tubular Bells ... though it did come up in my Music Journalism History group over the weekend; free-for-all discussion of the music of 1973.
	9:19am TonyR: 1973-1974 was Peak Single - more 7" records sold than ever before or since.
	9:19am Joe McG: @TonyR: I never left, Tony. "Skeleton crew" member.
	9:20am TonyR: Salut, essential worker!
	9:20am TonyR: ""GIVE MY DJ THE SHOT!"
	9:21am Krys O.: Arpeggiators rule!
	9:21am Mark Hurst: Morning, Joe! Hi all!
	9:21am Dano59: now yer talkin'! I love Pete's demos/outtakes.
	9:21am melinda: yay, baba
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: @TonyR Joe is a skeleton, and also, somebody has to pack those Marathon premiums!
	9:22am Yes: :)
	9:22am Rachel Bo Bachel: Now I know what the theme is- fluttery synthesizers! Gm all!
	9:22am Villainous Fats: I'm enjoying this opening set of "Telephone" going on here.
	9:22am The Oscar: Not sure if anyone's seen the Adult Swim show Joe Pera Talks to You, but there's a really charming episode about the main character hearing "Baba O'Riley" for the first time. Also features Jo Firestone!
	9:22am John from Madison: An album you let play from a to b. Good stuff.
	9:22am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: Fred Frith used to come down to the station in East Orange as a special guest of Jim Price. Fred would program the show and Jim would engineer. I met him there a couple of times. Peter Blegvad also appeared on Jim's show.
	9:23am Dano59: That's fascinating @TonyR -- what's your source for that factoid?
	9:23am Roberto: Baba seemed to have a resurgence in the early '80s, so much so that I didn't realize at the time that it had been released 10 years earlier.
	9:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like TheWhoot.
	9:23am John from Madison: (Who's next)
	9:23am melinda: This could be used as a karaoke backup if one was compelled to belt out the lyrics
	👻 9:24am Webhamster Henry: If you don't get to Laurie Spiegel's Patchwork I'll be very disappointed.
	9:24am Zimharry: O o o.........Baba this way is like top o' the muffin!
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: Krys: And I was listening attentively! For years I even had some cassettes recordings of Fred's shows but I don't know where they are now. I can fairly say that Fred Frith opened up my mind when I was an impressionable teenager - one of my gateways from punk rock to total freedom.
	9:24am Dano59: Elton John certainly played some fluttery synths, ca. '73
	9:24am Jim the Poet: CSI Jersey City
	9:25am Eddie Casey: There was an extended version of the instrumental "Baba O'Riley" that was on the Meher Baba Tribute album released in the 70's. The song is a homage to Baba and Terry Riley.
	👻 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: You can't spell demon without demo. Is that the theme this morning?
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh really?
	👻 9:26am YETI BOB: I met FF a few times at shows (with Bob Ostertag and Skeleton Crew) during his NY phase, he was always extremely gracious and funny, even though I'm sure I came across as a gushing fan-boy.
	9:26am theia: what a great way to start the day! :)
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I regret not purchasing Lifehouse Chronicles
	9:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'TheWho are a PeteTownshend cover band'...
	9:26am illumated void: a friend of mine wrote this across the picture of my high school....... year book graduating year. he was tripping in those days.. I had no clue what he was talking about.. hahahaha
	👻 9:27am YETI BOB: I would not be who I am today without Fred Frith and Eugene Chadbourne ...
	9:27am TDK60: I've never had eel pie.
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I made up a road trip cassette called "Difficult Listening" and it had a Frith track that sounded something like an electric guitar being dismantled with a pair of pliers. It was not my wife's favorite.
	9:28am Dano59: I still wonder if Lifehouse would have been even better received then than Who's Next. (a parlor game, really, like compiling a Dylan album for Columbia to release in late '66)
	9:28am Joe McG: @TDK60: Man, I love eel. Haven't had any in a while! Come to think of it, ain't had any pie lately, either.
	9:28am TonyR: This hoary olsd Who chestnut is like a solid old house. Good bones once you strip away the trim.
	9:28am p/b: GM Joe WMUppl
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: Unagi! Yum.
	👻 9:29am Webhamster Henry: Now I want some unagi rolls. Badly.
	9:29am Mark Hurst: @Webham "wizard needs food"
	9:29am TDK60: Joe, I thought only the British ate that but I now see, New Jerseyans do too.
	9:30am Dano59: Frith came to Cornell a couple times over the last 4-5 years to lecture music students and do public events.
	9:30am illumated void: my girlfriend made a chocolate cake yesterday
	9:30am Yes: mmm breakfast pie
	9:30am Acid Cazh: I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday, and I feel cranky as effing hell So I had to come here to say I fucking hate The Who, so you've been on mute for the goddamn thirty minutes it takes for this stupid song to finish playing That's all, signing back out now, I love you Joe and very much looking forward to the whenever this track ends and I can turn the sound back on.
	9:30am Joe McG: Oh, hey, Mark, missed you up there!
	9:30am TerrDE: Pete can sing as well as a lot of lead singers. If we never heard Roger we wouldn't miss him when Pete sings
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: Woods: I just got back from a long road trip and I found that all the "weird" stuff on my playlists didn't work at all. Wound up listening to Quadropheina over and over (great driving music) and a whole lot of Willie Nelson, who I decided was my patron saint for the trip.
	9:31am Roberto: O hai Mark!
	9:31am Joe McG: @AcidL Coast is clear.
	9:31am Mark Hurst: @Roberto you're tearing us apaaaart
	👻 9:31am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. The rain dogs are with us today, much needed. Eels are buggers to skin.
	👻 9:31am Webhamster Henry: A little hard to find these days, but look up "Feeling Prudence's Babas" by Chris "ccc" Cutler.
	👻 9:31am YETI BOB: Acid Cazh: You would have hated my road trip, I must have played Quadrophenia like 10 times.
	9:31am Acid Cazh: Yaaay thank you! Back on. 👍
	9:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Quadrophenia is just impossibly great...unless you've just had your 2nd Pfizer shot and is a cranky sumbitch.
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho stand @ the center of my heart ...wonder what became of any of them...
	9:33am John from Madison: At acid, is that your kitty's I want treats face?
	9:34am Roberto: Does The Room make your shiver? Does it?
	👻 9:34am Brian in UK: I have had the Astra Zeneca jab (shot!!) makes me hate fascists.
	9:35am illumated void: discovered quadraphonia when I first could put album on turn table. pretty young. elder siblings had them . no súper visión can work out sometime
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo grumpyman's kiggykat. AcidCazh - ThankYou for doing your part for herd immunity.
	👻 9:35am YETI BOB: @WebHenry: I assume that's a different fellow than Chris "RecRec" Cutler (of Henry Cow fame)?
	9:36am illumated void: does herd immunity work with gene therapy? I thought that was homeopathic way old vaccines.. get some poison develop immunity?
	9:36am The Oscar: Got my second shot one week ago today. Next week, one of my favorite independent movie theaters up here in Boston opens back up. Things are actually looking... good?
	9:36am Acid Cazh: @YETI BOB: I used to like The Who, but then I listened to them carefully and, well, didn't hold up (for me). I will say that the first time I heard that bloated three-song mini-rock opera (the one they did for Rock And Roll Circus) I wanted to jam a screwdriver in each ear to get the sound to go away. But yeah, post second-shot trying to work (I didn't want to burn a sick day!) there was no way I could sit through Baba O'Riley today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	9:37am Son Of Pantz: Is this a warning not to drink while dancing or drink before dancing?
	9:37am Acid Cazh: @John from Madison: That morning he wanted me to get back in bed so he could sit on my chest and get pets. He's a very demanding, physically needy cat. A big ol' cuddleslut.
	9:37am Joe McG: @Pantz: Hmm....ambiguous Norwegians!
	9:38am Rachel Bo Bachel: It’s the disembodied fiddle of Baba O’Riley :D
	9:38am Joe McG: @RBR: :)
	👻 9:38am Threemoons: Already favorited this set. Blazing!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: AcidCazh: That's fine of course and I don't want to argue. But the more I listen to the Who the more impressed I am by them, especially Entwistle's bass work. I play a little bit of bass and Entwistle is an inspiration for me.
	👻 9:39am Brian in UK: We have signs over here 'Do not drink & Drive you might spill it'
	9:39am Roberto: Haha cuddleslut! I'm going to use that.
	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: Also they made some terrible records, but when they were good, they were great.
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Horrible 'Oo - who make the worst sound you've ever heard in your life.' - Roger Daltrey
	9:40am Acid Cazh: @YETI BOB: The bass is probably the instrument I appreciate most in The Who, won't lie about that!
	👻 9:41am Brian in UK: Not a big fan of loud music though I do like music loud. The Who filled the stage, they were the best of that type..
	9:42am TDK60: Trios bug me. Just kiddin.'
	9:42am TerrDE: Is the Violinist from Kronos ? He has the same lack of vibrato
	9:42am HyperDose: This right here is good stuff, Joe.
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I found an original version of Live at Leeds (mint condition!) a couple of summers ago. Even had the poster. I know it was an edit but man, so intense.
	9:43am Dano59: .@Yeti Bob: heard a great alt-country song last year about passing Willie's tour bus on the highway. NSF the FCC however.
	9:44am Rachel Bo Bachel: Joe :) good idea re: pie! What’s in season now? Rhubarb?
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: I haven't attended very many concerts in my life, but I did catch John Entwistle at The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie. I was a good show.
	9:45am Rachel Bo Bachel: Where’s Estephonic? She loves pie!
	9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Woods : www.bbc.co.uk...
	9:47am Dano59: Eel is a Christmas Eve traditional dish for southern Italians (as part of the Feast of the Seven Fishes). Never much liked it ... that and Baccala.
	👻 9:47am yerfriendpaul: Hi Joe! Hi everybody!
	9:48am Dano59: and Eel Pie for you non-Who heads is Pete's publishing company name named for the island studio (which famously burned, taking master tapes with it) on the Thames.
	9:49am TonyR: I find I can't stream too much avant-garde stuff on WFMU. The streaming bitrate just turns it into something else entirely. Dr, V, Gtr: these are a few of my favorite things that my brain can deal with at 128k.
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @RRNov63: Thanks! i'll give that a listen. I remember watching a doc on youtube about the album. It had Rick Wakeman going bonkers about it.
	9:49am Dano59: ... I have this Ronnie CD. Yay for playing it!
	9:49am Mmph: Stargazy pie a la mode
	9:50am Son Of Pantz: I always thought kuschty was Cockney slang.
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Only in Fools & Horses.
	9:52am melinda: I've mentioned it before but Ronnie Lane was my first (and I think only) music celebrity sighting, saw him at the Whole Foods market in his wheelchair shortly after he was on the cover of Rolling Stone in the 80s. A big deal back then before famous people were moving to Austin.
	👻 9:52am Brian in UK: Throwing a Shropshire Fidget pie into the mix.
	9:53am TonyR: Pie!
	9:53am Joe McG: @melinda: Wow! Closest I've come was Ian MacLagan when he was here at FMU on Joe Belock's show. My one degree of separation with Ronnie Lane.
	👻 9:54am Brian in UK: melinda, I remember an interview with him when he said the even his hair hurts, MS is a nasty beast.
	9:55am TonyR: @Brian: that just sounds all kinds of awful.
	9:56am TDK60: Brian, not being British, I ask what is fidget pie, as made in Shropshire?
	👻 9:56am Brian in UK: TonyR some things you never forget.
	👻 9:57am Brian in UK: TDK60, not for you my friend. Ham, Apple & Potatoes as the basics.
	9:57am Uncle Michael: I recognized Johnny Flynn's voice from Detectorists! Good morning!
	9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Detectorists the TV show ? :)
	9:58am Joe McG: @UM: I loved that show!
	9:59am TonyR: And fidgetspinner pie?
	9:59am Uncle Michael: Yep. Flynn sang the theme, and appeared once.
	9:59am Son Of Pantz: Joe McG, the original 60 minute man. That was a long set.
	9:59am Dennis Diken: alas, when I saw Faces in '75 Ronnie had already split from the band, Tetsu was on bass. never did get to see Ronnie. sure love his songs, voice and vibe
	👻 9:59am tadpoles: Excellent doc. on Ronnie Lane: www.imdb.com...
	👻 9:59am Ken From Hyde Park: The annual eel migration up the Hudson is probably about over for this year. The little buggers swim right past Montgomery Street. www.dec.ny.gov...
	10:00am theia: fantastic show Joe
	10:00am melinda: @Brian in the UK that's awful :(
	10:00am TonyR: That's live radio for ya!
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Steve Marriott pressed everything hard.
	10:04am The Oscar: I didn't see Stardust, and from the trailers it looked... not great. That said, Flynn was great in last year's version of Emma.
	10:04am Planet Tyler: Reviews for Stardust were amusingly awful
	10:06am The Oscar: @Planet Tyler I was tempted to review it for that very reason, but it was tough to justify given that it came out in the middle of Oscar season.
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: Flynn got out of Stardust with some credit despite awful reviews.
	10:07am Rob W: Oh yeah we liked Johnny Flynn's Detectorists theme song (and the show itself) - and nice that you played the new Nordic Fiddlers Bloc album Joe!
	10:07am fm Mike: This background music reminds me of the Marx Brothers, where Harpo played the harp. I wanna say it was "A Night At The Opera". It was played on the ship.
	10:08am Stephen: Hi Joe. FYI, I just returned to see that Larry Fast from his Synergy LP was played but it wasn’t listed on the playlist or am I hearing things?
	10:08am miniteeny: Folk music is welcomed
	10:11am Mice of Mu: cool—my wife recently repaired an old Hardanger fiddle
	10:12am sphere: hello. this Yasmin Williams tune is pretty damn good.
	10:14am Uncle Michael: I pat myself on the back, Rob: tinyurl.com...
	10:14am sphere: also, I love Hardanger fiddle. :)
	10:14am Joe McG: @Stephen: No, no Larry Fast today. Maybe you heard the Pete Townshend?
	10:15am Yes: very nice this caddo lake
	10:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of 'Geraldine' by Donovan...
	10:15am Joe McG: Hey Rob! I love Norwegian fiddle playing!
	10:16am Uncle Michael: Show of hands...who had the Larry Fast clear vinyl? I have no idea who stole mine.
	👻 10:16am Hughie Considine: I'm getting a "Bron-yr-Aur" vibe from this lovely acoustic reverie.
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hughie they were all, say, acolytes of Bert Jansch - who probly got most of it from Davey Graham...
	👻 10:19am Ken From Hyde Park: Eli is not a brother of Edgar & Johnny, I'm guessing?
	👻 10:19am Hughie Considine: Indeed, @RR. Bert was the man from whom Jimmy P copped "Black Water Side." What a fine player.
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Sounds like Irene Trudel is on early!!
	10:19am Joe McG: "Bert and John" is another nice duet guitar album in this vein.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Brian: Don't tell Irene I'm stealing her schtick!
	10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John Renbourn - whom Bert was in Pentangle with...
	10:24am βrian: Hey, I like this schtick. Good morning. It's a cool, creamy day on the isthmus.
	10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just drop yer E to D & yer halfway to trance...
	10:26am neil quarantino: @Uncle Michael, me!
	10:26am Dano59: Willie Dunn is great. Love his songs on the Native North America LPs
	10:27am βrian: We harvested our first rhubarb and baked a pie. Spring has officially arrived in our household.
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Thinking of Tom Rush's version of 'Urge For Going' ...little pulloff thing on gittar... Folk is always such a strange familiar place...
	👻 10:30am Marley P. Dogg: Great set!
	10:30am sphere: I remember Lou Reed explaining to someone that his guitar strings were tuned to one note.
	10:30am theia: beautiful
	10:31am Stephen: @Joe: Actually, it was the second cut you played. Is possible that the Synergy LP was mistakenly inserted in the Mike Oldfield sleeve? Doesn’t matter. I wait for the archive to see if I have Alzheimer’s
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere - sounds like Glenn Branca action...
	10:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or what Cale did with viola...
	10:33am sphere: Good wiki article on Lou's "ostrich guitar" tuning: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:33am TDK60: I like the folks music; horses don't play it.
	10:36am Joe McG: @TDK: I forget who said that quote. Was it Burl Ives or somebody? @Stephen: No, that was definitely Mike Oldfield.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere - Thx! Wasn't really aware! How much/often did Lou use that ?!
	10:38am Dayffid: Why do Glasgow bands never actually sound like they are from Glasgow?
	10:39am TDK60: Joe, it was Louis Armstrong!
	10:40am sphere: @ RRN63 - I don't know. I believe Lou did use the ostrich guitar tuning on "Heroin" but that's all I got.
	10:40am Joe McG: @TDK: Ah, thanks! He was a genius in so many ways. Just saw him on an old episode of "What's My Line?"
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: Dayffid, most bands do not want to sound like where they come from.
	👻 10:40am chresti: Hi Joe with the pretty style!
	10:41am TonyR: So far, the Butlers aren't exactly bringin' the adrenaline. Oh, abc records....
	10:41am TDK60: ..I /think/ it was Armstrong. Or maybe an urban myth?
	10:41am sphere: Louis Armstrong would end his letters with "Red beans and nicely yours." Too cool!
	10:41am sphere: sorry: "Red Beans and ricely yours."
	👻 10:42am Brian in UK: TDK60, All music is Folk music, was that the quote.
	10:42am Joe McG: @TonyR: I think this record is unhinged!
	👻 10:42am Hughie Considine: Satchmo and Burl Ives both appeared on "Walt Disney's Merriest Songs," a 1968 compilation.
	10:42am The Oscar: Been busy working, but WHOA these Butlers!
	10:42am TonyR: It is now. abc execs are like, "We need something for the hippies."
	10:43am Dano59: "All music is folk music" is the line I used to bait folk nazis with... "The Beatles are folk music," for example.
	10:43am TDK60: Something like that, Brian. I don't have time at the moment to go research...
	10:43am miniteeny: Transport to 1970’s
	👻 10:43am chresti: Wow Sir Henry and His Butlers.
	10:44am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks. Lots of love for this one!
	10:44am TonyR: I'm sure the Butlers are very nice people.
	10:44am Dano59: ABC also put out the Nashville soundtrack, and its singles... (I played 'It Don't Worry Me' on Saturday's May Day show)
	10:45am Krys O.: My ex's uncle was in a psychedelic band called Ford Theatre that was on ABC. en.wikipedia.org... They had two fine LPs. The second one was produced by Bill Szymczyk.
	10:45am Joe McG: Just noticed that the first 3 record labels were 3 letters. Note to self: Future Single File organization idea.
	👻 10:46am yerfriendpaul: Perfect pop song. So good
	10:46am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone!
	10:46am Krys O.: HA! Fun idea, Joe.
	10:46am sphere: I will bet money that Leland Sklar played bass on this Carole King tune.
	10:47am TonyR: I like rainbow labels: abc-paramount; capitol, liberty....
	10:48am Dano59: funny how this tune crosses doo-wop, girl-group stuff, and pre-Beatles rock in the pop era.
	10:48am TonyR: So the Butlers also covered "Let's Go", made famous by the Routers. i.ytimg.com... (Written by "O. Henry"? Srsly?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: Krys O impressed with anyone who can spill Szymczyk!
	👻 10:49am Ken From Hyde Park: (EMI & RKO are candidate labels.)
	10:49am sphere: Unfortunately, I lost my bet to me about Leland Sklar. Dammit!
	10:49am TonyR: spell, even.
	10:49am Dano59: pay up, @sphere!
	10:50am Joe McG: @Ken: RCA, RAK, CUB, so many!
	10:50am Dano59: MCA, and now everything is UMG in the consolidation era. sad, really. I like the Arc label.
	10:50am TonyR: RCA, Vik (home of Pat Suzuki), Dot
	10:51am sphere: @Dano59 - I'm gonna hire a collection agency, but I don't think it will be any good.
	10:51am Moonbooger: Is Carol King related to Stephen King?
	10:51am Dano59: Dot!! that's a good one too
	👻 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Sun
	10:51am Yes: boogie time
	10:51am Dano59: Carole's real name is Klein...
	10:52am TonyR: RSO
	10:52am Hubig Pie: RSO, yo
	10:52am spodiodi: Klein King has a nice ring to it
	10:52am TonyR: PYE
	10:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah - label designs - mystical when very young...
	10:52am Dano59: I'm sure Joe has a soft spot for RSO records...
	10:52am Jinx: my favorite based on aesthetics, the Uni label.
	10:52am Son Of Pantz: "Screaming Goat"!
	10:53am TonyR: Cream's 70s reissues were on RSO.
	10:53am Dano59: Uni - Elton John, et al.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Jinx: Ooh, I think I agree. I buy the worst stuff on that label since I love the design so much.
	10:54am Jinx: and it's offspring, the MCA rainbow label.
	10:55am TerrDE: Joe were you wearing a leisure suit when you bought this?
	👻 10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and folks! I've got my spot at the end of the Single File line.
	10:56am Joe McG: @TerrDE: It's hard to say since I wear one so often.
	10:57am Doobois: Hey, Joe! Was that the right Saturday Night Band track?
	10:57am Joe McG: @Doobois: I was wondering that very thing. That's what the label says, but the whole song was "Don't take your love from me."
	10:58am Doobois: Well now. A very special 45 indeed.
	10:58am Joe McG: Enjoy this trumpet break, please.
	10:58am TerrDE: I had a great one . Big weave Polyester. I'd wear it and a hat that looked like a Turban and a huge Ceasars Palace gold medallion for Halloween
	10:59am Rachel Bo Bachel: We are groovin over here Joe- dance party w/ all three kids!
	👻 10:59am karlward: This could have been on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack
	11:00am Krys O.: BMG
	11:00am miniteeny: Pop n lock
	11:00am Dano59: I.R.S. (lest we forget)
	11:01am Joe McG: Bob Brainen is really jealous that I have this promo copy of an early Seals and Crofts single.
	11:01am Mmph: Is there anything better than close harmony? Is there?
	11:01am Krys O.: HMV
	👻 11:01am Hughie Considine: I wonder if there was a brief uptick in the name "Dash" during the heyday of (Jimmy) Seals and (Dash) Crofts. Surely their soft rock provided the soundtrack for many a happy 70s coupling...
	11:02am Joe McG: @hughie: Until they did that abortion song!
	11:03am TerrDE: They got political and ruined their careers.
	11:03am βrian: Oh, my brother's 12-string Epiphone!
	👻 11:03am Hughie Considine: @Joe, I'm speechless!
	11:03am Rachel Bo Bachel: Karlward how good is that soundtrack?
	11:03am Krys O.: @Joe: Stevie briefly toured with Seals & Crofts back then.
	👻 11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Many years ago one of my favorite people who would hang around the record store greeted me with this as I walked in the store "Hey Tim! Did you hear Seals and Crofts changed their name to Arts and Crafts?"
	11:05am Joe McG: @Krys O.: Wow, there must be some stories there!
	👻 11:06am chresti: EMI
	11:06am Glorious Estephonic: this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard - i love the wind and so did my dear dog friend dashielle when i played it for him in 2015.
	11:07am Krys O.: @Joe: He said the guys were cool. It might have been just before stardom.
	👻 11:07am tadpoles: Is A&M three letters?
	👻 11:08am chresti: RAS
	11:08am judy from croton: Gabriel by seals and crofts was one of the songs that shaped my entire harmonic brain And there you have it
	11:08am steveo: this talkover bed music is making me nostalgic for something
	11:09am Fjordsson: Now I'm sad I missed that song haha
	11:09am spodiodi: you love it and you love making love to it
	11:09am Dennis Diken: Nolan Strong was a huge influence on fellow Detroiter Smokey Robinson
	11:09am judy from croton: Yes and yes!
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Great show, Joe. Hound and I need to get out for an abbreviated walk now. Much appreciated. Been working too hard over here but listening, too! Marley, if you're around, the Paulus Hook window is open in the mornings, and the Pier 11 window is still closed.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: 4AD
	11:11am judy from croton: Steveo, yes I know what you mean about the bed music nostalgia
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Probably shouldn't goggle "touch me on my hot spot" on the work computer...
	11:13am Rachel Bo Bachel: Whoa Joe re: hot spot!
	👻 11:14am 12539: tiny.cc... Hot Spot!
	11:14am βrian: Wha? Bass sitar?
	👻 11:14am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - thanks for the heads up - weird about pier 11
	11:14am Dano59: Today is Buster Cornelius Day!
	11:15am Karen: If you don’t want any welcome to May songs, how about a Pete Seeger? It’s his birthday.
	👻 11:15am Marley P. Dogg: Sam the wake computer has rights!
	11:15am Rachel Bo Bachel: Have a nice walk Handy and hound!
	11:15am The Oscar: Fun fact: if you ever order a pizza from "Pasqually's" on Grubhub, you are actually ordering a pizza from Chuck E. Cheese's.
	👻 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Monica! Monica!
	11:16am Jaylefus: "Touch me on my hot spot," Googled in quotes calls up the song, lyrics, and amazing album cover.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Blurgh, it's raining. We'll push it off a bit. Marley, they say they have registered my complaint and are working on reopening.
	11:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Screw the steel drums...play some Journey!!
	11:18am paul: Any suggestions on a Carolyn Hester album to buy?
	11:18am Joe McG: @Woods: You know, I don't think I've ever played Journey. I have to do that one of these days.
	11:18am Listener Alexandra: Howdy Joe! Nice to hear the Fruit Bats on a day other than my birthday :)
	11:19am Joe McG: @paul: I like the one I played for pure folk music. If you want something a bit more late '60s, try one of her Carolyn Hester Coalition LPs. @Alex: Oh good, enjoy!
	11:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Joe McG: The comments board caterwaul would be entertaining.
	👻 11:20am chresti: I don't think I've ever listened to Journey.
	11:21am paul: @Joe, thanks!
	11:21am Joe McG: @Woods: There's got to be at least one good song in their discography somewhere.
	11:21am HyperDose: The weather has me all "bah humbug!", but this playlist is delightful. :)
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): Happy birthday, Listener Alexandra!
	11:21am sphere: As a joke, I started to learn "Open Arms" but it actually is a really good song once you strip out Steve Perry's vocal overkill.
	11:22am JSchatz: Touch me on my hot spot is one of the best dance songs ever. Album is Come on Dance, Dance - Side 1 song 2. 13 minutes of heaven.
	11:22am Dano59: real nice Robyn Hitchcock vibe to this ...
	11:22am Yes: digging the fruit bats. first time hearing them
	11:22am Joe McG: @JSchatz: Can you tell me what song is on the B of my 7"?
	👻 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - I got your next set mapped out. Take a Journey to Boston for some Meatloaf.
	11:23am Joe McG: Oh, Dano, you are readin' my mind. It was either that or the Waterboys. @tim: Ha ha ha
	11:24am Dano59: have loved the Fruit Bats a long time. This is going on my buy list.
	11:24am steveo: The most-recent WFMU play of Journey seems to be a cover of It's All Too Much on EFD's show in March #themoreyouknow
	11:25am Joe McG: @steveo: Evan has already broached the Journey divide! But what does he think of Meat Loaf?
	👻 11:25am Hughie Considine: What a gem. "Element of Light" might well be Robyn's finest LP of the era.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe there's no-one left - @ aaallllllll....
	11:25am BARBARA J MURRAY: Good Morning Joe, great to hear you have an authograthed Steve Marriott album, where did you come by it if you don't mind me asking.
	11:25am steveo: i think he likes in with gravy :)
	11:25am steveo: it*
	11:26am Robin D.: Woke up in a funk and your show is making it all better! Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Does Journey have enough edge for The Metal District. Way back when they were considered hard rock but as time has gone by Journey seems more of a pop band.
	11:27am Joe McG: Happy to hear that, Robin!
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...after being a Who Apologist - ya gonna play Journey on me ...I see...
	11:27am Joe McG: @Barbara: I bought it at a record show for a couple of dollars. I don't think the dealer realized it was autographed.
	11:27am steveo: also in 2016 Mary Wing played an Open Arms 45 at 33rpm. I'll have to listen to that later
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @tim from champaign: They did rock pretty hard early on. I saw them open for (that knob) Ted Nugent shortly after Infinity came out. Neil Shon was all over that show.
	11:28am Tom from Homewood: Other than the Soft Boys (which I love), where's the best place to get into Robyn Hitchcock? Any suggestions?
	11:29am judy from croton: Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians my most fave of his music; perhaps the harmony
	11:30am Joe McG: @Tom: Hard to say; so much good. Maybe start with "I Often Dream of Trains" or "Element of Light."
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom geez - just start? & see him Live ! When Live exists again...
	👻 11:30am waters7: Only just tuned in. This is great! Thanks, Joe!
	11:31am Hubig Pie: Astral Weeks Boys
	11:31am TDK60: I recall when this Waterboys made a splash on college radio back then. Good album. There was sort of a folks/folks-rock thing goin' on mid-later '80s.
	11:31am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Thank you for this one Joe. I 💜 The Waterboys
	11:31am Dano59: very nice, Joe - who makes it so!
	11:31am Son Of Pantz: "Globe of Frogs" was my gateway. He does livestream concerts with Emma Swift every week.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Emily and Karen: I thought, "Why should I CHOOSE between Robyn H. and Mike Scott? And Van Morrison?"
	11:32am Dano59: @tom.homewood: Element of Light's a good start for Egyptians; also Perspex Island. I like Eye, Spooked, so many actually.
	11:33am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Lol, the funny thing is I really don't like Van
	11:33am TDK60: Tom from Homewood: Hitchcock's recent (a few years?) self-titled album is pretty good. Not bad to start recent and go back, maybe..
	👻 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): @Woods - what year was that show? Neil Schon played on the first couple Betty Davis albums. He could play some hard funk too.
	👻 11:34am Threemoons: Loving this Waterboys track.
	11:34am Joe McG: @Karen: Ha! I sit around downloading old Van Morrison concerts. Too bad he's turned into such a putz lately. I mean, an even bigger putz than before.
	11:34am JG: I'm reading a book about Van Morrison. It's pretty good. he's an immensely talented misfit. Maybe , I guess what they call " On the spectrum" I think the same was true of Micheal Jackson.
	11:34am Dano59: World Party for more of that soulful Irish awareness vibe too, Joe.
	11:35am Joe McG: @Dano: Sorry, Dano, not running downstairs again! :)
	11:35am Dano59: hey, you've done enough!
	👻 11:35am Threemoons: @Joe McG saw Van Morrison at SXSW a lifetime ago--not only was he a putz, but he insisted on playing this insipid lounge jazz crap. Lots of folks left mid-set, and more than one person shouted "Play MOONDANCE already!!"
	👻 11:35am John L: Tom from Homewood: Maybe his first solo album, Black Diamond Snake Roll. Plus what others have already suggested. I've like most of his more recent output, but his s/t 2017 release might be his best since Eye. Though I also love Spooked and Ole Tarantula and...oh hell.
	11:36am Dano59: Van was the last name to scratch off my bucket list in 2017, after seeing Joe Jackson in 2016. I guess I need a new bucket list, lest I face the bucket.
	👻 11:36am karlward: Oh no, did Van Morrison become Van Morrissey?
	11:36am Karen: Some American Banjo Folk would fit nicely now. ;) I’m extra partial to Pete Seeger on May 3rd because it’s my birthday too...
	👻 11:36am Threemoons: (I sat through the set because I had a full festival pass; it was a dead time of day, and I had a rare actual seat at a table at the venue and was able to pound back free margaritas and chips at something like 11 in the AM)
	11:37am Dano59: BD Snake 'Role' Groovy Decay / Gravy Deco? a few variations on that one.
	👻 11:37am Threemoons: @Karlward LOL
	11:37am Tom from Homewood: Thanks all. sounds like diving in anywhere does the trick. Everyone's suggestions are all over the place (in a good way). I'll poke around some.
	11:38am βrian: So damn many Creepy Vans out there!
	11:38am TDK60: Happy birthday, Karen. Seeger was no slouch on banjo.
	11:38am Dano59: Mossy Liquor / Moss Elixir. Really, there's no bad place to start if you're already a fan of Soft Boys.
	11:39am Joe McG: This singer reminds me A LOT of Neil Hannon.
	👻 11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): @Threemoons - That sounds like some version of a hell. Enticed by comfort, food and drinks then WHAM! you're stuck with a bumbling, crooning old man singing at you. No judgment here. I would have done the same thing - haha.
	11:41am Karen: @Brian makes sense. Unmarked vans we warn our children about, Camper Vans (Beethoven) where we get weird, ... Van Lyfe!
	11:41am Dano59: I have a real distaste for most deep male voices, Tindersticks among them. Except Leonard Cohen or Kristofferson - that's different.
	11:41am Karen: @TDK60 Thank you!
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas I love Crooners. Moody ♏︎Scorpio I reckon.
	11:42am Hubig Pie: Saw Van Morrison at the NOLA jazz fest mid-90's. He didn't learn the Spinal Tap lesson that you don't play free form jazz odyssey before a festival crowd
	👻 11:42am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - thanks for the great tunes this morning and getting my week started off right!
	11:42am Dano59: .@tom - Rhino did a massive set of reissues of RH records and one-off compilations back in the late '90s as I recall. Pure gold.
	11:43am Joe McG: My pleasure, Marley. Thx again for the little pieces of fast plastic!
	11:43am Gordon FM: This show is sounding very groovy from La La land. Thanks Joe.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DaleJ sounding like SteveForbert. That the poet of a towering jewel like AstralWeeks can be so wrong-headed... Out of step, I can reckon easy...
	11:45am Joe McG: You bet, Gordon! @RR63: I adore the Who and I adore Van Morrison, both up to about 1980.
	11:48am Yes: have to leave early. thank you, joe. lovely tunes today
	11:48am JG: Somebody in the book I'm reading said "van's brain is like 90% music" which you can imagine would be a very troubling disconnected from reality kind of way to go through life
	11:48am ?: The Bucket of Truth!
	11:48am Joe McG: Thanks for dropping by, Yes.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Ah Steve Goodman, a lovely fella with a sense of humour.
	11:49am Avrilinmay: that mood was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe. What's new!!
	11:49am judy from croton: Never heard this Steve Goodman song Joe, I’ve said it before and I will say it again: thank you
	11:49am TDK60: Brian, did you meet Goodman? I saw him perform in a double bill with Martn, Bogan, & Armstrong. Got to party with them afterward. Left us too soon.
	11:50am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:50am Joe McG: Happy to oblige, judy!
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG: That's exactly what Al Jardine just said about Brian Wilson on Michael Shelley's show !
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: TDK60 why yes.
	11:51am MFlynn: Joe, love the “folkie” spin to today’s show. Always appreciate hearing Steve Goodman! Thanks!
	11:51am judy from croton: TDK60: too true
	11:52am Joe McG: @MFlynn: Was just in that kind of mood today!
	11:52am JG: @RR63, You're right. I mixed it up. Brian wilson. ANyway i think morrison the same kind of thing
	11:52am MFlynn: Me too Joe! Really enjoyed it.
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG - yeah - Van always was a 'handful'.
	11:53am theia: a great show today as always :)
	11:53am xindeed: Amazing show today. Helping office life immensely!
	11:53am Joe McG: @JG: Did he really give Bert Berns his fatal heart attack? Berns' wife thought so!
	11:54am Joe McG: @theia and xindeed: Thanks for saying hi today!
	11:54am βrian: For you Irene listeners: wfmu.org...
	11:54am Karen: Gotta say I love making this show fit my schedule now. I had a very lucky fluke Monday morning where I was able to tune in, and since then I’m so happy to seek out this show. Like the happy little accidents Bob Ross taught us, this show is serendipitous!
	11:54am JG: @ Joe, I'm only a third into the the book , so not up to that part yet. Will let you know.
	11:54am eric from lake hiawatha: Donny Hathaway. What a voice, styling.
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks thanks thanks, Joe Joe Joe!
	11:55am spodiodi: thanks, Joe!
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks everyone for tuning in today and listening and commenting. Have a great week, all! Welcome to May.
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Joe, for free-forming it up to an excellent degree this morning!
	11:56am TDK60: Hathaway left us too soon also. And I miss Leon Russell too. Sigh. Joe, thanks so much for the folks music and the other music by folks today.
	👻 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Cinco de Mayo is approaching!
	11:56am HyperDose: This was magical. Be well.
	11:56am Fjordsson: Donny Hathaway. From St. Louis but he's surprisingly not mentioned much here.
	11:56am SmokinJ: Killer set jm.. Bless Steve Goodman ! 8-)
	👻 11:57am bbob: Gorgeous set...Donny. Sigh.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ JoeMcG !
	11:57am Stillwell Coney Islander: Thank you Joe, Loved folk music since early childhood
	11:58am JG: But will add, for insight into these crazy geniuses, watch the documentary about Michael Jackson's last unrealized tour. When they guy is talking music / dance, he comes accross as brilliant. But any other topic, he really struggles to coonnect. by the way, the performances, only rehearsals, so only at about 60 to 70% , are amazing
	11:59am listener 126464: Thank you Joe.
	11:59am Toutevoix: Merci!
	👻 11:59am yerfriendpaul: Henry Darger's art is pretty incredible but you're right - his life was troubled. Great documentary on his life too. Check it out if you can.
	👻 11:59am chresti: Thanks Joe!
	👻 12:00pm Threemoons: Thank you Joe
