	12:00pm βrian: Hola from the edge of the prairie.
	12:01pm dan: Good afternoon all
	12:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya, Uncle Michael, folks!
	12:02pm TDK60: Uncle Michael, how-do?
	🛒 12:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mike Finnegan - as on Electric Ladyland ??
	12:05pm dan: I saw Mike Finnigan with Crosby Stills and Nash at Jones Beach in 2001, my first concert ever. I heard the news of his passing yesterday.
	12:05pm TDK60: I've never heard of Mike F. (But maybe saw in lists of session players?)
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi folks!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Brian! dan! Pauly! TDK! Rev! Doc!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Mike's about 20 on this record.
	12:07pm dan: That first track was a mixture of Garage Rock and Motown.
	🛒 12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:08pm johnk77: tamborine forward in mixes
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: john!
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup - Mike organ on "Rainy Day, Dream Away" and "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" with Hendrix. He was humble about in an interview - but there he is ...Oh ! Here's that Interview right here !
	12:10pm TDK60: Well then, I've heard him befores..
	12:13pm TDK60: Volume ↑.
	🛒 12:13pm WR: I became aware of Mike Finnigan on the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood record. He contributed to many great recordings.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: The sax player and the percussionist on this were also from The Serfs.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	12:13pm Listener Scott: 'Don't walk, keep pumping.' Not a keyboardist or even a musician but I kind of get it. That's great.
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Well, this is cool, looking at Electric Ladyland through the lens of this keyboard player....hi UM!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Scott! SOP!
	12:15pm doctorjazz: Ahhhhh.....
	12:16pm TDK60: All these years later, my mouth still drops open hearing parts of Ladyland.
	12:17pm dan: Bringing up Jones Beach again, I was at the Hall and Oates/Squeeze concert on Wednesday. Apart from some patches of lightning near the end of the show, it was a great experience. Here's the setlists: Squeeze: Take Me I'm Yours Up the Junction Hourglass Is That Love Slap and Tickle Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) Please Be Upstanding Cool for Cats Tempted Annie Get Your Gun Goodbye Girl If I Didn't Love You Black Coffee in Bed Hall and Oates: Maneater Out of Touch Method of Modern Love Say It Isn't So You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' She's Gone Sara Smile Is It a Star Back Together Again I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) Encore: Rich Girl You Make My Dreams
	12:17pm johnk77: jerry hahn brotherhood were on the scene when i moved full-time to the bay area 1970 sadly never saw them;</
	12:19pm StringOFperils: A musical door of possibility definitely got slammed shut when James Marshall Hendrix checked out. What he might have done...such a shame.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: @dan-I'm appropriately jealous.
	12:19pm johnk77: power trio + kybd etc
	🛒 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hendrix's relation to Jazz apparent here. One thing to reference it - another to hear it once again.
	12:21pm dan: @doctorjazz You know who I'm jealous of, the people that got to hear Kiss On My List and Private Eyes the night before, but doing a kickass nugget like "Back Together Again" made up for that.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I have an on the fly record flip after this track.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: Better than a fly on the record.
	12:25pm johnk77: this album perhaps the greatest list of additional musicians of my lifetime?
	12:25pm johnk77: electric ladyland
	12:26pm dan: This version combines both the Spencer Davis Group and Chicago versions
	12:28pm dan: And combines the other I'm A Man song. Talk about a musical collage.
	12:29pm mauri: good evening!
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: Steve Winwood co-wrote I'm a Man and played on Electric Landlady.
	12:29pm adamdoesit: Howdy, UM, H's and D's! I hope everyone's keeping cool-ish.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: mauri! BiUK! adam!
	12:30pm johnk77: @brianuk chris wood also on electric ladyland jack casady, sweet inspirations etc. near our only air conditioner currently
	🛒 12:32pm Brian in UK: john77, easier to name those who were not on it.
	🛒 12:33pm WR: Ah, man, talking over the Jerry Hahn track.
	12:34pm dan: By the looks of Mike Finnigan's credits, we will or might be hearing CSN, Dave Mason, Leonard Cohen, Manhattan Transfer, Dan Fogelberg, John Hiatt, Kristin Chenoweth, Tracy Chapman and/or Billy Bob Thornton
	12:34pm johnk77: troy, ohio is the part of ohio more like indiana conservative and basketball-centric
	12:35pm dan: @johnk77 Finnigan was anything but conservative from what I've read about him.
	12:35pm spodiodi: aloha, UM! happy friday, everyone
	12:36pm johnk77: bonnie raitt was 1st musician to tell me about mike finnigan that was mid 1970s troy is near dayton
	12:39pm TDK60: I saw the Jerry H. Brotherhood at the Fillmore once. They opened for someone I can't recall. (There's a list somewhere.)
	12:39pm mauri: well no surprise there that this is new to me but damn this is good!
	12:40pm johnk77: this album got airplay on commercial music stations
	12:40pm dan: @TDK60 Fillmore West or East?
	12:41pm TDK60: Dan: East.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	12:43pm dan: @TDK60 I have a book on the Fillmore East that mentions every show that took place there. I'll see who that more famous band was.
	12:45pm johnk77: if i hit refresh on my tab the jif restarts but twitch needs a click for video and 2 for audio i do appreciate an unusually well-behaved stream
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Lane Tietgen song about a real Wichita narcotics detective.
	12:45pm dan: @TDK60 It was Chicago and Blodwyn Pig
	12:47pm johnk77: 1 of the cute guys in the group?
	🛒 12:47pm WR: Ok, playing Captain Bobby Stout compensates for the one you talked over. Though the one you talked over was a fave of mine. It all evens out. As if my prattle matters....
	🛒 12:50pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:50pm TDK60: Dan, must've been a different time JHB played there, as I never saw either of those bands.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...man I wish I could play keyboards like this...
	12:54pm spodiodi: howdy, Phillippe
	🛒 12:56pm Phillippe: Hey spodi! We've been missing you!
	12:57pm dan: @TDK60 The other show was The Mothers of Invention
	12:59pm TDK60: Dan, Hah! No, I did see the Mothers elsewhere! Possibly JHB was filling in for a cancellation; that happened. (Maybe I'm conflating JHB with some /other/ early jazz-rock outfit?) Dan, thanks for digging!
	1:00pm dan: @TDK60 No problem.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: piano needed tuning
	🛒 1:02pm dutchtheo: Uncle! and mountain Jack and dinks
	1:03pm spodiodi: same here, Phillippe! weasels have been at it again
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:04pm david w: I'm loving this. Amazing guy. Hello Uncle and all!
	1:04pm StringOFperils: Very Mose Allison
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: david! Very Charlie Rich, SOP!
	1:06pm StringOFperils: The Silver Fox is in there...true...
	🛒 1:06pm Phillippe: I hear ya, spodi. Weekend is nigh upon us
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: That's Charlie's arrangement of Hey Good Looking.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: oops
	1:14pm spodiodi: uh oh
	1:15pm StringOFperils: Uncooperative Big Brother
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: happens
	1:17pm βrian: Apropos of nothing, I got some new all-white grampa shoes. Before I wear them, Little Human will take her markers to them.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Nice!
	1:18pm johnk77: how hard it is album had dave schallock of sons of champlin on guitar nick gravenites & kathi mcdonald singers on other tracks
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: yup
	1:19pm sufferwords: Lot o my pals hung with Mike on the sober tip here in Los Angeles- they say he did much life saving
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: sufferwords...I'm not going to talk too much about that...but I could.
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: great Marvin Gaye song
	1:22pm densely: reminiscent of "hard to handle"
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: densely!
	1:24pm jimbrux: What is up, Uncle M and Dinks? Enjoying the grooves over here in London town!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: jimbrux!
	1:28pm dan: Good 'ol Ray Charles cover
	1:36pm Spinning Giant: Greetings and good afternoon to you, UM & all you fine HD crew-sers :D
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	1:37pm Spinning Giant: ...not typically a fan of the crazed hipsters....but this i can get with....
	1:37pm βrian: Beautiful weather here is slowing me down. Hammock beckons.
	1:38pm jimbrux: This Death Letter cover is very...uh....caucasian.
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklings
	1:39pm sufferwords: peace
	1:41pm densely: So much of this music is completely new to me. Thanks, Michael, for opening a door I didn't know was there!
	1:41pm spodiodi: greetings, coelacanth∅
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so ...I suppose this is Finnigan's Wake... Doing nothing but learning & enjoying here...
	1:42pm jimbrux: Hi coelacanth∅!
	1:44pm dan: @RevolitionRabbit Good one
	1:49pm Spinning Giant: @Brian - helluva idea...youve inspired me...think i'll put mine together in time for an afternoon nap :D
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: you're welcome, densely. thanks for stepping through
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: hey spodiodi, jimbrux!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:51pm Spinning Giant: Howdy Coel! 😎
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: This goes out to Kevin Nutt.
	1:58pm burke: MF keeps reminding me of Eric Burdon
	1:59pm Jeff Moore: This set is reminding me how infrequently I play music which can be described as rollicking.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Mike definitely rollicked. Mike!
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: hey Spinning Giant!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Who gets a vocal solo on someone else' live album? I ask you.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Jim Krueger on guitar...more about him in the next set.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Eric Burdon, my keister.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:05pm Artie: Wood I!
	2:06pm Jeff Moore: O hey Michael!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: "McCloud" album cover.
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: Not sure if Mike Finnigan was promoted over here back then.
	2:14pm dan: Sounds odd hearing New York State Of Mind being sung by a Midwesterner.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: I like this version so much better than the original.
	2:16pm Listening Out There: There's a time and a place for the Billy Joels of this world. Generally, I try to avoid such places...
	2:17pm spodiodi: poor Billy Joel gets no love in wfmuland
	2:17pm dan: @Listening Out There That statement would be valid for me with Billy Joel's name replaced by Bruce Springsteen.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: This is Mike's Muscle Shoals album.
	2:19pm densely: Did Jesse Winchester write this one? These vocals bring his to mind.
	2:21pm Jeff Moore: That was an announcer voice.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Jesse Winchester wrote that.
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: The FAME Studios Story set is a must.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Fame and Muscle Shoals: two different joints
	2:27pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks, UM!
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: see ya Doc!
	🛒 2:32pm Brian in UK: I jumped too soon!! Was playing FAME in the car today.
	2:34pm StringOFperils: Ugh! Just spent most of the last 20 years with television people. Possibly the biggest mistake I've ever made
	2:34pm StringOFperils: And I guess I was one.
	2:34pm Jeff Moore: I LOVED COP ROCK! I was so sad it didn't run much much longer.
	2:35pm Marie: Just able to tune in. I gotta say, there are a couple of Billy Joel songs that I like....Hi UM, hi everybody!
	2:35pm barrett785: Great show. Love these tunes.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Pat!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: 11 episodes, Jeff!
	2:36pm dan: Finnigan sounds like a mix between Boz Scaggs and Warren Zevon on this song.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I'm playing TWO tv things.
	2:37pm Marie: I worked with a guy who was nice enough but who might be considered a Long Island weenie--he adored Billy Joel
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: This Expressway cover may have actually CHARTED,
	2:38pm WLSClark: Very Scaggs like! Geez, missed most of the show. Sorry. Great to get in on this now atleast.
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: Eleven precious episodes. Not nearly enough.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Clark!
	2:40pm densely: I really like a couple of Billy Joel songs. I change the station when I hear others. When we grew up he lived half a mile away; I knew his sister in high school.
	2:40pm WLSClark: Uncle, Mike sounds great on Expressway!
	🛒 2:41pm Brian in UK: Uncle, thanks for the education.
	2:42pm dan: I must be the only person on this chat that is a huge Billy Joel fan.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: School's almost out, BiUK!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: Before Cop Rock...a surprise!
	2:45pm WLSClark: dan, I was in 70's & 80's but over saturation spoiled him for me.
	2:46pm WLSClark: Im gonna have to check this out on podcast and send to more friends to hear. I see a great lineup of songs.
	2:46pm dan: @WLSClark Oversaturation killed Aerosmith for me, but not Billy Joel
	2:46pm Marie: This sounds great, like it would be very fun live
	2:46pm WLSClark: Aerosmith is often one song, not 15 like Joel has played all the time.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: The "big guy" was THOR!
	2:48pm dan: @WLSClark They play the same 5 songs of each on the radio. That's why I listen to YouTube over my local commercial radio station.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Today's gif is from Cop Rock.
	2:49pm dan: Cop Rock sounds like it was created when a bunch of guys got drunk and somehow "singing cops" was brought up.
	2:50pm dan: @UM Is that Mike Finnigan in the gif?
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	2:50pm Jeff Moore: The world wasn't good enough to deserve Cop Rock.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Now, Mike's son; Kelly.
	2:53pm WLSClark: Looks like Mike's son is great too. His band?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	2:55pm dan: Great show UM. Mike Finnigan would be proud.
	2:56pm WLSClark: Uncle, it was so great that you gave such a fitting tribute to Mike. I hope to listen to the whole show when it is up on podcast. So great of you to give tribute!
	2:56pm spodiodi: thanks for the Mike Finnigan tribute, UM! new to me. great stuff.
	2:57pm StringOFperils: OMG, I can't believe this is over already! (Probably what Mike Finnigan said.) Thank you Uncle Michael, an education as always!
	3:00pm densely: See ya, Michael!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone...so much!
	🛒 3:02pm WR: Remarkable program honoring Finnigan thank you.
	3:02pm adamdoesit: Pinky swear? Hinky swear! Thanks for the tunes, UM.
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle Michael
	2:00pm Daddy-o Dilly: Thank you very much for this tribute to Mike Finnegan!
	2:04pm Daddy-o Dilly: I saw Finnigan & Wood on a cold, snowy Saturday night at the Red Baron in Lawrence KS. The place was packed full. Wild concert. Two drummers. I asked Mike for his autograph. He barked back "Fuck you!" Then he thought about it and said "If I record an album that sells a million copies I'll sign an autograph for you then. Fair enough?"
	2:06pm Daddy-o Dilly: Speculation that the master tape to the wonderful Finnegan & Wood album was discarded during record label ownership shuffles. Hence, no reissue ever on CD or LP. Big time bummer.
	2:13pm Daddy-o Dilly: Mike Finnigan would play bars in Kansas that had little or nothing in the way of local music scenes. And would fill the places up.
	2:15pm Daddy-o Dilly: The progressive rock FM radio stations in Kansas City & Lawrence (and probably Wichita) in the 1970s gave generous airplay to the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood and Finnigan & Wood albums.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 13, 2021

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	🛒 12:13pm WR: I became aware of Mike Finnigan on the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood record. He contributed to many great recordings.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: The sax player and the percussionist on this were also from The Serfs.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	12:13pm Listener Scott: 'Don't walk, keep pumping.' Not a keyboardist or even a musician but I kind of get it. That's great.
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Well, this is cool, looking at Electric Ladyland through the lens of this keyboard player....hi UM!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Scott! SOP!
	12:15pm doctorjazz: Ahhhhh.....
	12:16pm TDK60: All these years later, my mouth still drops open hearing parts of Ladyland.
	12:17pm dan: Bringing up Jones Beach again, I was at the Hall and Oates/Squeeze concert on Wednesday. Apart from some patches of lightning near the end of the show, it was a great experience. Here's the setlists: Squeeze: Take Me I'm Yours Up the Junction Hourglass Is That Love Slap and Tickle Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) Please Be Upstanding Cool for Cats Tempted Annie Get Your Gun Goodbye Girl If I Didn't Love You Black Coffee in Bed Hall and Oates: Maneater Out of Touch Method of Modern Love Say It Isn't So You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' She's Gone Sara Smile Is It a Star Back Together Again I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) Encore: Rich Girl You Make My Dreams
	12:17pm johnk77: jerry hahn brotherhood were on the scene when i moved full-time to the bay area 1970 sadly never saw them;</
	12:19pm StringOFperils: A musical door of possibility definitely got slammed shut when James Marshall Hendrix checked out. What he might have done...such a shame.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: @dan-I'm appropriately jealous.
	12:19pm johnk77: power trio + kybd etc
	🛒 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hendrix's relation to Jazz apparent here. One thing to reference it - another to hear it once again.
	12:21pm dan: @doctorjazz You know who I'm jealous of, the people that got to hear Kiss On My List and Private Eyes the night before, but doing a kickass nugget like "Back Together Again" made up for that.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I have an on the fly record flip after this track.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: Better than a fly on the record.
	12:25pm johnk77: this album perhaps the greatest list of additional musicians of my lifetime?
	12:25pm johnk77: electric ladyland
	12:26pm dan: This version combines both the Spencer Davis Group and Chicago versions
	12:28pm dan: And combines the other I'm A Man song. Talk about a musical collage.
	12:29pm mauri: good evening!
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: Steve Winwood co-wrote I'm a Man and played on Electric Landlady.
	12:29pm adamdoesit: Howdy, UM, H's and D's! I hope everyone's keeping cool-ish.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: mauri! BiUK! adam!
	12:30pm johnk77: @brianuk chris wood also on electric ladyland jack casady, sweet inspirations etc. near our only air conditioner currently
	🛒 12:32pm Brian in UK: john77, easier to name those who were not on it.
	🛒 12:33pm WR: Ah, man, talking over the Jerry Hahn track.
	12:34pm dan: By the looks of Mike Finnigan's credits, we will or might be hearing CSN, Dave Mason, Leonard Cohen, Manhattan Transfer, Dan Fogelberg, John Hiatt, Kristin Chenoweth, Tracy Chapman and/or Billy Bob Thornton
	12:34pm johnk77: troy, ohio is the part of ohio more like indiana conservative and basketball-centric
	12:35pm dan: @johnk77 Finnigan was anything but conservative from what I've read about him.
	12:35pm spodiodi: aloha, UM! happy friday, everyone
	12:36pm johnk77: bonnie raitt was 1st musician to tell me about mike finnigan that was mid 1970s troy is near dayton
	12:39pm TDK60: I saw the Jerry H. Brotherhood at the Fillmore once. They opened for someone I can't recall. (There's a list somewhere.)
	12:39pm mauri: well no surprise there that this is new to me but damn this is good!
	12:40pm johnk77: this album got airplay on commercial music stations
	12:40pm dan: @TDK60 Fillmore West or East?
	12:41pm TDK60: Dan: East.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	12:43pm dan: @TDK60 I have a book on the Fillmore East that mentions every show that took place there. I'll see who that more famous band was.
	12:45pm johnk77: if i hit refresh on my tab the jif restarts but twitch needs a click for video and 2 for audio i do appreciate an unusually well-behaved stream
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Lane Tietgen song about a real Wichita narcotics detective.
	12:45pm dan: @TDK60 It was Chicago and Blodwyn Pig
	12:47pm johnk77: 1 of the cute guys in the group?
	🛒 12:47pm WR: Ok, playing Captain Bobby Stout compensates for the one you talked over. Though the one you talked over was a fave of mine. It all evens out. As if my prattle matters....
	🛒 12:50pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:50pm TDK60: Dan, must've been a different time JHB played there, as I never saw either of those bands.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Phillippe!
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...man I wish I could play keyboards like this...
	12:54pm spodiodi: howdy, Phillippe
	🛒 12:56pm Phillippe: Hey spodi! We've been missing you!
	12:57pm dan: @TDK60 The other show was The Mothers of Invention
	12:59pm TDK60: Dan, Hah! No, I did see the Mothers elsewhere! Possibly JHB was filling in for a cancellation; that happened. (Maybe I'm conflating JHB with some /other/ early jazz-rock outfit?) Dan, thanks for digging!
	1:00pm dan: @TDK60 No problem.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: piano needed tuning
	🛒 1:02pm dutchtheo: Uncle! and mountain Jack and dinks
	1:03pm spodiodi: same here, Phillippe! weasels have been at it again
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Theo!

	1:04pm StringOFperils: Very Mose Allison
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: david! Very Charlie Rich, SOP!
	1:06pm StringOFperils: The Silver Fox is in there...true...
	🛒 1:06pm Phillippe: I hear ya, spodi. Weekend is nigh upon us
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: That's Charlie's arrangement of Hey Good Looking.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: oops
	1:14pm spodiodi: uh oh
	1:15pm StringOFperils: Uncooperative Big Brother
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: happens
	1:17pm βrian: Apropos of nothing, I got some new all-white grampa shoes. Before I wear them, Little Human will take her markers to them.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Nice!
	1:18pm johnk77: how hard it is album had dave schallock of sons of champlin on guitar nick gravenites & kathi mcdonald singers on other tracks
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: yup
	1:19pm sufferwords: Lot o my pals hung with Mike on the sober tip here in Los Angeles- they say he did much life saving
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: sufferwords...I'm not going to talk too much about that...but I could.
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: great Marvin Gaye song
	1:22pm densely: reminiscent of "hard to handle"
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: densely!
	1:24pm jimbrux: What is up, Uncle M and Dinks? Enjoying the grooves over here in London town!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: jimbrux!
	1:28pm dan: Good 'ol Ray Charles cover
	1:36pm Spinning Giant: Greetings and good afternoon to you, UM & all you fine HD crew-sers :D
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	1:37pm Spinning Giant: ...not typically a fan of the crazed hipsters....but this i can get with....
	1:37pm βrian: Beautiful weather here is slowing me down. Hammock beckons.
	1:38pm jimbrux: This Death Letter cover is very...uh....caucasian.
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklings
	1:39pm sufferwords: peace
	1:41pm densely: So much of this music is completely new to me. Thanks, Michael, for opening a door I didn't know was there!
	1:41pm spodiodi: greetings, coelacanth∅
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so ...I suppose this is Finnigan's Wake... Doing nothing but learning & enjoying here...
	1:42pm jimbrux: Hi coelacanth∅!
	1:44pm dan: @RevolitionRabbit Good one
	1:49pm Spinning Giant: @Brian - helluva idea...youve inspired me...think i'll put mine together in time for an afternoon nap :D
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: you're welcome, densely. thanks for stepping through
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: hey spodiodi, jimbrux!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:51pm Spinning Giant: Howdy Coel! 😎
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: This goes out to Kevin Nutt.
	1:58pm burke: MF keeps reminding me of Eric Burdon
	1:59pm Jeff Moore: This set is reminding me how infrequently I play music which can be described as rollicking.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Mike definitely rollicked. Mike!
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: hey Spinning Giant!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Who gets a vocal solo on someone else' live album? I ask you.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Jim Krueger on guitar...more about him in the next set.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Eric Burdon, my keister.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:05pm Artie: Wood I!
	2:06pm Jeff Moore: O hey Michael!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: "McCloud" album cover.
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: Not sure if Mike Finnigan was promoted over here back then.
	2:14pm dan: Sounds odd hearing New York State Of Mind being sung by a Midwesterner.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: I like this version so much better than the original.
	2:16pm Listening Out There: There's a time and a place for the Billy Joels of this world. Generally, I try to avoid such places...
	2:17pm spodiodi: poor Billy Joel gets no love in wfmuland
	2:17pm dan: @Listening Out There That statement would be valid for me with Billy Joel's name replaced by Bruce Springsteen.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: This is Mike's Muscle Shoals album.
	2:19pm densely: Did Jesse Winchester write this one? These vocals bring his to mind.
	2:21pm Jeff Moore: That was an announcer voice.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Jesse Winchester wrote that.
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: The FAME Studios Story set is a must.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Fame and Muscle Shoals: two different joints
	2:27pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks, UM!
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: see ya Doc!
	🛒 2:32pm Brian in UK: I jumped too soon!! Was playing FAME in the car today.
	2:34pm StringOFperils: Ugh! Just spent most of the last 20 years with television people. Possibly the biggest mistake I've ever made
	2:34pm StringOFperils: And I guess I was one.
	2:34pm Jeff Moore: I LOVED COP ROCK! I was so sad it didn't run much much longer.
	2:35pm Marie: Just able to tune in. I gotta say, there are a couple of Billy Joel songs that I like....Hi UM, hi everybody!
	2:35pm barrett785: Great show. Love these tunes.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Pat!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: 11 episodes, Jeff!
	2:36pm dan: Finnigan sounds like a mix between Boz Scaggs and Warren Zevon on this song.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I'm playing TWO tv things.
	2:37pm Marie: I worked with a guy who was nice enough but who might be considered a Long Island weenie--he adored Billy Joel
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: This Expressway cover may have actually CHARTED,
	2:38pm WLSClark: Very Scaggs like! Geez, missed most of the show. Sorry. Great to get in on this now atleast.
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: Eleven precious episodes. Not nearly enough.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Clark!
	2:40pm densely: I really like a couple of Billy Joel songs. I change the station when I hear others. When we grew up he lived half a mile away; I knew his sister in high school.
	2:40pm WLSClark: Uncle, Mike sounds great on Expressway!
	🛒 2:41pm Brian in UK: Uncle, thanks for the education.
	2:42pm dan: I must be the only person on this chat that is a huge Billy Joel fan.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: School's almost out, BiUK!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: Before Cop Rock...a surprise!
	2:45pm WLSClark: dan, I was in 70's & 80's but over saturation spoiled him for me.
	2:46pm WLSClark: Im gonna have to check this out on podcast and send to more friends to hear. I see a great lineup of songs.
	2:46pm dan: @WLSClark Oversaturation killed Aerosmith for me, but not Billy Joel
	2:46pm Marie: This sounds great, like it would be very fun live
	2:46pm WLSClark: Aerosmith is often one song, not 15 like Joel has played all the time.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: The "big guy" was THOR!
	2:48pm dan: @WLSClark They play the same 5 songs of each on the radio. That's why I listen to YouTube over my local commercial radio station.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Today's gif is from Cop Rock.
	2:49pm dan: Cop Rock sounds like it was created when a bunch of guys got drunk and somehow "singing cops" was brought up.
	2:50pm dan: @UM Is that Mike Finnigan in the gif?
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	2:50pm Jeff Moore: The world wasn't good enough to deserve Cop Rock.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Now, Mike's son; Kelly.
	2:53pm WLSClark: Looks like Mike's son is great too. His band?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	2:55pm dan: Great show UM. Mike Finnigan would be proud.
	2:56pm WLSClark: Uncle, it was so great that you gave such a fitting tribute to Mike. I hope to listen to the whole show when it is up on podcast. So great of you to give tribute!
	2:56pm spodiodi: thanks for the Mike Finnigan tribute, UM! new to me. great stuff.
	2:57pm StringOFperils: OMG, I can't believe this is over already! (Probably what Mike Finnigan said.) Thank you Uncle Michael, an education as always!
	3:00pm densely: See ya, Michael!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone...so much!
	🛒 3:02pm WR: Remarkable program honoring Finnigan thank you.
	3:02pm adamdoesit: Pinky swear? Hinky swear! Thanks for the tunes, UM.
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle Michael
	2:00pm Daddy-o Dilly: Thank you very much for this tribute to Mike Finnegan!
	2:04pm Daddy-o Dilly: I saw Finnigan & Wood on a cold, snowy Saturday night at the Red Baron in Lawrence KS. The place was packed full. Wild concert. Two drummers. I asked Mike for his autograph. He barked back "Fuck you!" Then he thought about it and said "If I record an album that sells a million copies I'll sign an autograph for you then. Fair enough?"
	2:06pm Daddy-o Dilly: Speculation that the master tape to the wonderful Finnegan & Wood album was discarded during record label ownership shuffles. Hence, no reissue ever on CD or LP. Big time bummer.
	2:13pm Daddy-o Dilly: Mike Finnigan would play bars in Kansas that had little or nothing in the way of local music scenes. And would fill the places up.
	2:15pm Daddy-o Dilly: The progressive rock FM radio stations in Kansas City & Lawrence (and probably Wichita) in the 1970s gave generous airplay to the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood and Finnigan & Wood albums.
