	12:12pm StringOFperils: Sprung like Athena form the forehead of Bonzo Dog.
	12:12pm Cmurtha: I just listened to People Like Us cover of that song.

	12:14pm Uncle Michael: zzz!
	12:16pm zzz: congrats @dan @12:01! notwithstanding, she was born on an auspicious day in grateful dead history: 2/26/1977. @Uncle Michael knows.. :)
	12:16pm phat in lincoln: Greetings from lovely Lincoln, NE.
	12:16pm still b/p: I'm stone-agin' it over here. DSL connection -- never at full capability because I'm at the "fringe" of coverage area -- was out nearly a week due to some important phone line failure in the area. And though it's back, it's thin, spotty, strained and woe-striped. If only I had some potato chips to self-medicate.
	12:16pm phat in lincoln: It's not actually that lovely.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	12:17pm dan: @zzz Is it that Estimated Prophet made its live debut? I just looked up that show.
	12:19pm Cmurtha: Congratulations Dan!
	🛒 12:20pm Brian in UK: Uncle, your Premium is not shown on the mailout I received but is on the FMU site listing.
	🛒 12:20pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, I know...I'll mention that. phillippe!
	12:22pm zzz: @UM, Yes! and also was the live debut of Terrapin Station, which was a very bold way to open the show and their first show of the year in '77. later released on CD as a Dave's Picks
	12:23pm still b/p: Holly Johnson could do the Vincent Price bit in there.
	12:25pm dan: @zzz Well my brother-in-law would not know one iota of The Grateful Dead discography, videography and concert history. He's more of an Alternative, Rap and Heavy Metal type.
	12:25pm phat in lincoln: Ah, Petula
	12:26pm dan: Curtis Mayfield was a lyrical genius.
	12:26pm still b/p: Girlfriend laughs at me when I refer to Clark as "Pet." But it wasn't uncommon in her hit days.
	12:27pm 20oz pint: phew! enough of today's work done to put GTDR on..... Hiya
	🛒 12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @dan: This is Chinese Year of Water 🐅Tiger, while 5-7 A.M. is Hour of the 🐇Hare - & that would be ⦿Sun in mystical empathetic ♓︎Pisces - with both ♓︎Pisces' Traditional Ruler of ♃Jupiter & its 'Modern Ruler' of ♆Neptune also both @ Home now in this sign - for a strong ♓︎Psicean signature... Moody ☽Moon however was in serious goal-oriented Earth element sign ♑︎Capricorn ...6 A.M. exactly sounds too rounded off to me - but would've been ♒︎Aquarius Rising, with some leeway before & after...
	12:28pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael!
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: 20oz! wendy!
	12:36pm phat in lincoln: Took me a bit to realize this was Hedwig!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: yep
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for playing these Marathon Premium specials!
	🛒 12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great blend of Theatrical & GittarRawk if yer arsks me (you didn't).
	12:38pm wendy del formaggio: Free Design!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Henry! I'll do it again in another eight or nine years.
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: This is the Sing-Along Kites Are Fun!
	12:39pm phat in lincoln: My lord that's a great musical. We had a local troupe do it here several years ago and it was fabulous. The producer was a good friend of mine. He died of a heart attack a couple years ago. 💔
	🛒 12:41pm Franco Twinkie: Maybe this will be the year I get myself a kite - March winds blow, and all that shit.
	12:41pm phat in lincoln: Kites are fun! It's true!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: May the four winds blow your kite safely home, Franco.
	12:42pm wendy del formaggio: I learned to love Teddy Pendergrass’s music from my dad. He’s one of his faves. I’m lucky to have a family with good taste in music!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Teddy was great...even when he was stuck in Harold's shade.
	12:45pm wendy del formaggio: I think Teddy transcended that shade for sure. In my mind, the Blue Notes would be less fab w/o Teddy’s powerful vocals.
	🛒 12:46pm Franco Twinkie: My first LP! Got Live If You Want It. It was years before I heard the original by Benny Spellman. This still gives me chills.
	12:46pm βrian: Good music for my basement ride, UM. Now I feel hale and hearty.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Hail to thee, Brian!
	🛒 12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe fake Audience mixed in - but scream they did...
	12:47pm phat in lincoln: I absolutely love the lyrics to 20th Century Fox and I don't want to hear no backtalk.
	12:47pm dan: Who did this first, Doors or Cannon?
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Doors
	12:48pm johnk77: great work selecter just realized grover washington jr cut a live album at the lodge where i learned to ski in the very early 1960s
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: doors ftw
	12:48pm still b/p: You want a kite?! scontent-bos3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...
	🛒 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Giant purple squid kite - Wallpaper worthy.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: wow
	12:51pm wendy del formaggio: Of course now I’m thinking about Looney Tunes. Mission accomplished, Uncle Michael!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I have that banner on my aircraft carrier!
	🛒 12:51pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Hard to believe the same person who starred as Phillip Marlowe in the flicks!
	12:52pm βrian: Oligarch Michael?
	12:53pm still b/p: Now I'm thinking about Busby Berkeley.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Fffn! Dick started out as a song and dance man. Yes, Brian.
	12:53pm spodiodi: Busta Rhymes! <3
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Busta Berkeley
	12:55pm dan: Dick Powell to Busta Rhymes, that's got to be a first on any radio show.
	12:55pm Listening Out There: Freddy Cannon channeling Jim Morrison was pretty darn good...
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	12:55pm still b/p: Busta staging something at Busby scale and trippiness is a happy boggling thought.
	12:56pm βrian: Uncle Ollie rocks the yacht!
	12:56pm dan: @Listening Cannon made it sound like his song.
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if Bogart could carry a tune in a crumpled overcoat...
	12:57pm dan: @Revolution Rabbit I wonder if he ever strolled across the park like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
	12:57pm still b/p: If he couldn't, would YOU tell him?
	🛒 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good point. Successful @ covering JimMorrison ...& w/out airs...
	12:57pm johnk77: seize the yacht rock?
	1:04pm egould310: I used to work on music videos, back in the day. Was on set working on a Missy Elliott video and talking to a dude about Missy, and rap music in general. After a couple minutes I realized I was talking to Busta Rhymes. Nice guy.
	1:05pm StringOFperils: Always wondered what that was called. I know it from the really old Warner cartoon of Dr. Seuss' 'Horton Hatches the Egg'
	🛒 1:05pm Alvy Singer: The Hut Sut song was kinda in the Merrie Melodies short Horton Hatches the Egg if I remember correctly.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: great story egould!
	1:06pm still b/p: For the longest time, sounded to me like "bowl a', bowl 'a suet"
	1:06pm Listener Robert: I've been trying to think of the cartoon(s) I'd've heard "By A Waterfall" in. I'm sure I DID, but which? I'd guess at least a Popeye, but probably one or more others too.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	🛒 1:08pm Alvy Singer: @Listener Robert...Bugs Bunny sang it in the Wet Hare episode.
	1:08pm StringOFperils: @Alvy > sussurrah suss sussurillerah anna so on so on so on....
	1:11pm Listener Robert: Wow, I figured it had to have been a few...Wikipedia doesn't list "Wet Hare", but has a bullet point, "In animated shorts such as...", and then an apparently incomplete LIST!!
	🛒 1:12pm dutchtheo: Unk! hinque dinque premium shoppers!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:13pm Listener Robert: So if you can place it in "Wet Hare" and want to augment that list, Alvy....
	1:16pm dan: Rodgers and Hammerstein for the MTV Generation
	1:19pm dan: No Sugar Tonight predecessor?
	1:20pm doctorjazz: OK, uploading, downloading, no rest for the weary... Have to be sure all my Bandcamp stuff is safely downloaded at some point.
	1:20pm Listener Robert: I have a Looney Tune in progress here with a mouse infestation. In a few minutes I'm going to putty a hole that's just ONE way it can emerge from the wall. And it's a SMART mouse, it evades traps.
	1:21pm doctorjazz: Nice to hear all this again (have all these premiums).
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Bless you, Doc.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Between uploading, downloading, checking for recipes to cook for dinner, haven't had a chance to post.
	1:22pm still b/p: If you've never seen "Footlight Parade" movie or at least the By A Waterfall segment, you should treat yourself. It's wonderful, "looney tunes" in its own way, Hollywood craziness of the period. The extravagance today is in action and tech-effects budgets. This was something else amazing, people and nuts-and-bolts-wise, to make us wonder at it being conceived, signed off on and executed. Part of the nuttiness is that in the movie's story, the massive changing sets and waters and performing horde are ostensibly doing their whole thing live onstage in a theater.
	1:23pm efd: ok, you got me.
	1:23pm dan: Speak of the devil
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: efd!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, that that pulled that scene off on a soundstage is amazing in its own right.
	1:24pm efd: I always play this on one of my marathon shows
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know that, Evan!
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well as long as he's polite...
	1:25pm efd: I can never tell when you're kidding. :)
	1:26pm Listening Out There: Isn't this the Bachman that got his stolen guitar back years later via facial recognition?
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: You can't.
	1:27pm Listening Out There: Ah, yes: Stolen guitar recovered after 45 years using facial recognition technology - boingboing.net...
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ListenerRobert: Once got an electric trap from K-Mart worked great... Plain black box - entrance has a sort of valve so enter & can't leave. Just two AA batteries & a plate apparently electrocutes them. Red & Green little lights up top - let you know if you got one. & just dump the little sucker out. Rule is: You got One, you got Three ...so keep using til you get nothing. If not going Humane ...or, Feline.
	1:29pm still b/p: Local band on tour had whole trailer of instruments and gear stolen a little more than a week ago from hotel parking lot in Colorado. Special place in hell...
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Episode spotlighting Randy Bachman on this Beatles-themed podcast fairly blew my mind : somethingaboutthebeatles.com...
	1:35pm dan: Ventures knocking it out of the park with this medley
	1:37pm still b/p: This does to me what the woman on the Walk Don't Run cover photo does to the band.
	🛒 1:38pm WR: Hi UM and all. Listening while working. Taking a break so writing quick hello. What year was that Ventures recording with the crowd "sound effects"?
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: 1965
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	🛒 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In the Year of Our Ford 2022 ...thou shall be digging a kind of KuntrySwing w/ Haprsichord thang via - get this - LawrenceWelk - via the obscure channel on an internet station from NJ via Topeka - on a plastic laptop, via stolen gym WiFis ...during a worldwide pandemic has everyone isolating & wearing masks in public ...well, obviously.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: That story can't be true, Rev.
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also, Russia.
	1:44pm still b/p: That's like a Keyser Söze concoction of fiction and random handy real details, assembled to your nefarious advantage...'z what it is.
	1:46pm dan: RIP Gary Brooker, one of the greatest singers ever. Had the pleasure of seeing him twice. First in 2010 with Procol Harum at Westbury Music Fair and then in 2016 as special guest with The Paul Winter Consort's annual Winter Solstice show. Both times, he did not disappoint.
	🛒 1:47pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Is this recording from the later years of the Everly's career? Voices are stretching for those high notes.
	1:48pm Listener Robert: OK, the putty is in the wall. (Should be a historic phrase, like the die is cast.) These mice seem to be so noisy at times it reminded me of that spoken-word series, "State of Arkansas", "State of Illinois", however many there are, where he complains of staying some place with cockroaches big as sparrows, coming and going all day, slamming doors. I think I heard a mouse slamming a door last night.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I think Don would have sung it in a different key if he didn't want that tension in the vocal.
	1:53pm still b/p: Love Dinah.
	1:54pm Webhamster Henry: I Love to Singa - Not Owl Jolson version.
	1:54pm Dominick: Ach! a crooner!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	1:55pm xtrakrispy: I love to Listena.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: I love to heara this!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: xtrakrispy!
	1:57pm Listener Robert: Right, hamster. This one sounds like actual singing, rather than like Crosby. ;-)
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: hey now
	1:59pm still b/p: In the Radiolab series on recording techniques, they talk about a period when in any instance of turning on your radio there was a 50% chance you'd hear Crosby.
	2:01pm Listener Robert: True, if you count the times you thought you were hearing Crosby and it was Richard Todd.
	2:08pm egould310: This doesn’t sound like Lt. Cable. What gives?!?
	2:09pm WLSClark: Hey Uncle and the gang! Late, but Bert coming in loud and clear!
	2:09pm egould310: Ahhh, I see. Bret Sommers. I loved her on Match Game.
	2:10pm Listener Robert: What bothers me is that if the average adult just starts singing, even in the company of friends, they'll tell hir how awful it sounds and to stop right away -- which I think is wrong, the AVERAGE person's singing isn't so bad to my ears -- and yet there've been all these people who RECORD AND SELL RECORDS and sound like heavy breathing set to music (Bing Crosby), whining set to music (Neil Young), and so on. (I won't even get into acknowledged bad singers who sound charming because they have a good gimmick like Dylan or Bingo Gazingo.) The world is so grossly unfair like that.
	2:10pm dan: Another first, Bert Sommer followed by De La Soul
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Clark! He sounds more like Woof, egould.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Can you say "Soul Makossa"?
	2:16pm WLSClark: ma ma.....
	2:19pm Listener Robert: It just bugs me that most adults "aren't allowed" to sing -- that apparently people's taste is such as to reject (or at least feign rejection of) all but a small elite of singers. But how are they judging? We don't reject most people's COOKING. We don't find most people's WRITING repulsive. So what's going on with singing?
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: ask yo mama
	2:19pm WLSClark: OH YEAH!! Four Tops clones with their writers!!!
	2:23pm doctorjazz: Listener Robert-I think it feeds on itself (the more people get to sing, the better their singing gets, the more inhibited, the worse it will sound when they try it). In general, amateurism in music went by the wayside from the days people had a piano in their house, leaned to play classics for friends and had sing alongs with them.
	2:26pm dan: Red Riding Hood's theme
	2:26pm Listener Robert: Yes, doctor, that positive feedback is a big factor. But it doesn't explain it all. It may be that recording killed singing, or music generally, for most people. But then why didn't the printing press make us start to judge AVERAGE writing as CRAP instead of just average?
	2:27pm WLSClark: I just wanna know who stole the keeshka.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: I have a friend who's a real music junkie, worked in the music biz (ASCAP, concert producing), just loves to listen. HE CAN'T SING 2 NOTES CONSECUTIVELY! I like to hear him sing, but I'm sure he's quite inhibited. It's an interesting phenomenon-obviously, the neural connection from his ear to his brain are working incredibly well. However, the neural connection from his brain to his vocal cords has something amiss. (back in college, when I'd play sing-around-the-campfire guitar, we found the perfect song he could shout in front of anyone and it was great-Lou Reeds's Sweet Jane. Worked like a charm!)
	2:28pm doctorjazz: WLSClark, if you find the keeshka, please share!
	2:28pm egould310: @Listener Robert. Most people are miserable dolts and don’t like music; let alone “singing” by “amateurs”. If you want to sing, sing your heart out. Don’t be concerned with the matters of miserable dolts.
	2:29pm WLSClark: Will do! BUT, I have been looking so long, it's probably no longer any good.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: If it's no good, it's probably even better!
	2:30pm still b/p: Heard a version of Five O' Clock the other day and for the first time paid attention to the brief note of scandal and accusation and presumed dishonesty in it....as opposed to something like Charlie on the MTA where the circumstance is understood as innocent.
	2:32pm egould310: Did not know Woof. Interesting.
	2:35pm bradford: such a great song...
	2:38pm WLSClark: The Stylistics are SOOO great!
	2:40pm WLSClark: Della making it real. Well, time to look back 65 years to when things were....the same? The end hits too close to home! www.youtube.com...
	2:40pm still b/p: Regarding song rips-off, one more odd note from the Radiolab series. A Czech early computer adopter/whiz kid talks about copyrights ignored behind Iron Curtain and songs and music repurposed: "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina,” it was released over here as a song about…" [ARCHIVE CLIP: [singing Czech] '"Drive carefully in your car when you are going through the mountains."
	2:40pm dan: Sounds like the Muppets trying to do Runaround Sue
	2:41pm adamdoesit: Hear hear, Listener Robert. To sing and to dance are essential human acts… and for doing them, folks are shamed? Feh, I say, and feh again. Everyone should have the pleasure of singing. And, if your preference is to hear song, well, no one gets better without practice.
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Roberta Flack, Les McCann & Eddie Harris. "Compared to What" has a glorious past history. Hello to you, Uncle Michael, in beautiful downtown Topeka! Late showing up as usual. I'll try to do better during the fundraiser.
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Roberta Flack, Les McCann & Eddie Harris. "Compared to What" has a glorious past history. Hello to you, Uncle Michael, in beautiful downtown Topeka! Late showing up as usual. I'll try to do better during the fundraiser.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	2:44pm WLSClark: What a voice!
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, BiUK.
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: As for today's topic of adult singing, I was right there with the fabulous Stylistics all the way through "Betcha By Golly, Wow." Singing in falsetto is so much fun!
	2:46pm WLSClark: Brian are you Welsh????
	2:47pm 20oz pint: Errr... I am. luverly bit of Tom
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: WSLClark my thoughts exactly. No, but I live close to the Welsh border in Shropshire. My wife is Welsh from the north.
	2:48pm dan: Knew that was Sammy Davis without looking. He has a voice that cannot be duplicated.
	2:50pm Gerry from Miami: Sammy, Dino and Frankie were all one-of-a-kind voices. Peter Lawford not so much.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: What about Joey Bishop?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: As for Joey, Uncle Mike, it goes without saying.......
	2:52pm WLSClark: I loved Joey when he filled in for Johnny and always flipped cards like Letterman did later on while telling jokes.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Gerry, yes but Frank could bend the note round corners.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: I always thought falsetto singing is cheating. Took having a daughter who's a musical theater actor to learn it's a legit register (the trick is keeping is smooth while you go into falsetto).
	2:53pm dan: A Brooklyn Jew singing like a Southern Baptist.
	2:54pm WLSClark: This Lp was so great--had her version of carole K's "Beautiful" that is where I first heard it--the title of the great musical I went to a couple weeks ago here.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Written and produced by Jews!
	2:56pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. True falsetto singers like Frankie Valli, Eddie Kendrick, or Philip Bailey were smooth as silk.
	2:56pm dan: @UM Laura Nyro was half-Jewish
	2:56pm WLSClark: And Donny Osmond. OH, that WAS his real voice. Sorry, hahaha
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - in Folk, Pop & RawkaRollas - a distinctive voice often goes farther than a 'good' voice. Since these Forms prize Expression & novel Sounds often over Virtuosity... For the History of Popular Music behind the Iron Curtain - I always have to bring up 'How The Beatles Rocked the Kremlin' if you haven't seen it yet comrade. Also - the pilot episode of PBS's SoundTracks explores the dance hit 'A Man Like Putin' : www.pbs.org... ...all too nauseatingly timely...
	🛒 2:57pm Alvy Singer: Another gem of a show Uncle Michael. Thanks so much.
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a million, UM! And hoping all DJs help make a million-plus starting soon!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', everyone.
	2:58pm adamdoesit: Aloha UM! Aloha rootypoots!
	2:58pm dan: Can't wait for next week's Marathon show and to find out which past requests made the CD. Thanks UM
	2:58pm doctorjazz: @Gerry-not to mention Al Green... I love great high register (falsetto) singing, just somehow got the idea that if I did it, I was cheating (not the stupidist thing I believed when I was young by a long shot).
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	2:58pm Webhamster Henry: See ya at the Marathon!
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Hinky Dinky Time is pure radio gold! Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	2:59pm doctorjazz: Great show from the great Premium CDs, UM, thanks!!!
	🛒 2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - they call it 'falsetto' - like it ain't real...
	2:59pm doctorjazz: RRN63-I think you really hit it there...
	3:00pm adamdoesit: Tryna make it real, compared to <falsetto>whaaaat!</falsetto>
	3:00pm WLSClark: Great show--what I heard!
	3:02pm spodiodi: the last hour evaporated quickly! many thanks for the great show, UM!
	3:02pm still b/p: Niiiiiice show. Hinky Dinky Anagramotron shifts PREMIUM to UM PRIME!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Bye, folkseses!
	3:03pm Listener Robert: Bye and thanks.
	🛒 3:27pm WR: Thank you UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 4, 2022

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.

	12:16pm phat in lincoln: Greetings from lovely Lincoln, NE.
	12:16pm still b/p: I'm stone-agin' it over here. DSL connection -- never at full capability because I'm at the "fringe" of coverage area -- was out nearly a week due to some important phone line failure in the area. And though it's back, it's thin, spotty, strained and woe-striped. If only I had some potato chips to self-medicate.
	12:16pm phat in lincoln: It's not actually that lovely.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	12:17pm dan: @zzz Is it that Estimated Prophet made its live debut? I just looked up that show.

	12:21pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, I know...I'll mention that. phillippe!
	12:22pm zzz: @UM, Yes! and also was the live debut of Terrapin Station, which was a very bold way to open the show and their first show of the year in '77. later released on CD as a Dave's Picks
	12:23pm still b/p: Holly Johnson could do the Vincent Price bit in there.
	12:25pm dan: @zzz Well my brother-in-law would not know one iota of The Grateful Dead discography, videography and concert history. He's more of an Alternative, Rap and Heavy Metal type.
	12:25pm phat in lincoln: Ah, Petula
	12:26pm dan: Curtis Mayfield was a lyrical genius.
	12:26pm still b/p: Girlfriend laughs at me when I refer to Clark as "Pet." But it wasn't uncommon in her hit days.
	12:27pm 20oz pint: phew! enough of today's work done to put GTDR on..... Hiya
	🛒 12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @dan: This is Chinese Year of Water 🐅Tiger, while 5-7 A.M. is Hour of the 🐇Hare - & that would be ⦿Sun in mystical empathetic ♓︎Pisces - with both ♓︎Pisces' Traditional Ruler of ♃Jupiter & its 'Modern Ruler' of ♆Neptune also both @ Home now in this sign - for a strong ♓︎Psicean signature... Moody ☽Moon however was in serious goal-oriented Earth element sign ♑︎Capricorn ...6 A.M. exactly sounds too rounded off to me - but would've been ♒︎Aquarius Rising, with some leeway before & after...
	12:28pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael!
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: 20oz! wendy!
	12:36pm phat in lincoln: Took me a bit to realize this was Hedwig!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: yep
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for playing these Marathon Premium specials!
	🛒 12:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great blend of Theatrical & GittarRawk if yer arsks me (you didn't).
	12:38pm wendy del formaggio: Free Design!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Henry! I'll do it again in another eight or nine years.
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: This is the Sing-Along Kites Are Fun!
	12:39pm phat in lincoln: My lord that's a great musical. We had a local troupe do it here several years ago and it was fabulous. The producer was a good friend of mine. He died of a heart attack a couple years ago. 💔
	🛒 12:41pm Franco Twinkie: Maybe this will be the year I get myself a kite - March winds blow, and all that shit.
	12:41pm phat in lincoln: Kites are fun! It's true!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: May the four winds blow your kite safely home, Franco.
	12:42pm wendy del formaggio: I learned to love Teddy Pendergrass’s music from my dad. He’s one of his faves. I’m lucky to have a family with good taste in music!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Teddy was great...even when he was stuck in Harold's shade.
	12:45pm wendy del formaggio: I think Teddy transcended that shade for sure. In my mind, the Blue Notes would be less fab w/o Teddy’s powerful vocals.
	🛒 12:46pm Franco Twinkie: My first LP! Got Live If You Want It. It was years before I heard the original by Benny Spellman. This still gives me chills.
	12:46pm βrian: Good music for my basement ride, UM. Now I feel hale and hearty.

	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Doors
	12:48pm johnk77: great work selecter just realized grover washington jr cut a live album at the lodge where i learned to ski in the very early 1960s
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: doors ftw
	12:48pm still b/p: You want a kite?! scontent-bos3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...
	🛒 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Giant purple squid kite - Wallpaper worthy.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: wow
	12:51pm wendy del formaggio: Of course now I’m thinking about Looney Tunes. Mission accomplished, Uncle Michael!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I have that banner on my aircraft carrier!
	🛒 12:51pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Hard to believe the same person who starred as Phillip Marlowe in the flicks!
	12:52pm βrian: Oligarch Michael?
	12:53pm still b/p: Now I'm thinking about Busby Berkeley.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Fffn! Dick started out as a song and dance man. Yes, Brian.
	12:53pm spodiodi: Busta Rhymes! <3
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Busta Berkeley
	12:55pm dan: Dick Powell to Busta Rhymes, that's got to be a first on any radio show.
	12:55pm Listening Out There: Freddy Cannon channeling Jim Morrison was pretty darn good...
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	12:55pm still b/p: Busta staging something at Busby scale and trippiness is a happy boggling thought.
	12:56pm βrian: Uncle Ollie rocks the yacht!
	12:56pm dan: @Listening Cannon made it sound like his song.
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if Bogart could carry a tune in a crumpled overcoat...
	12:57pm dan: @Revolution Rabbit I wonder if he ever strolled across the park like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
	12:57pm still b/p: If he couldn't, would YOU tell him?
	🛒 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good point. Successful @ covering JimMorrison ...& w/out airs...
	12:57pm johnk77: seize the yacht rock?
	1:04pm egould310: I used to work on music videos, back in the day. Was on set working on a Missy Elliott video and talking to a dude about Missy, and rap music in general. After a couple minutes I realized I was talking to Busta Rhymes. Nice guy.
	1:05pm StringOFperils: Always wondered what that was called. I know it from the really old Warner cartoon of Dr. Seuss' 'Horton Hatches the Egg'
	🛒 1:05pm Alvy Singer: The Hut Sut song was kinda in the Merrie Melodies short Horton Hatches the Egg if I remember correctly.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: great story egould!
	1:06pm still b/p: For the longest time, sounded to me like "bowl a', bowl 'a suet"
	1:06pm Listener Robert: I've been trying to think of the cartoon(s) I'd've heard "By A Waterfall" in. I'm sure I DID, but which? I'd guess at least a Popeye, but probably one or more others too.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	🛒 1:08pm Alvy Singer: @Listener Robert...Bugs Bunny sang it in the Wet Hare episode.
	1:08pm StringOFperils: @Alvy > sussurrah suss sussurillerah anna so on so on so on....
	1:11pm Listener Robert: Wow, I figured it had to have been a few...Wikipedia doesn't list "Wet Hare", but has a bullet point, "In animated shorts such as...", and then an apparently incomplete LIST!!
	🛒 1:12pm dutchtheo: Unk! hinque dinque premium shoppers!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	1:13pm Listener Robert: So if you can place it in "Wet Hare" and want to augment that list, Alvy....
	1:16pm dan: Rodgers and Hammerstein for the MTV Generation
	1:19pm dan: No Sugar Tonight predecessor?
	1:20pm doctorjazz: OK, uploading, downloading, no rest for the weary... Have to be sure all my Bandcamp stuff is safely downloaded at some point.
	1:20pm Listener Robert: I have a Looney Tune in progress here with a mouse infestation. In a few minutes I'm going to putty a hole that's just ONE way it can emerge from the wall. And it's a SMART mouse, it evades traps.
	1:21pm doctorjazz: Nice to hear all this again (have all these premiums).
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Bless you, Doc.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Between uploading, downloading, checking for recipes to cook for dinner, haven't had a chance to post.
	1:22pm still b/p: If you've never seen "Footlight Parade" movie or at least the By A Waterfall segment, you should treat yourself. It's wonderful, "looney tunes" in its own way, Hollywood craziness of the period. The extravagance today is in action and tech-effects budgets. This was something else amazing, people and nuts-and-bolts-wise, to make us wonder at it being conceived, signed off on and executed. Part of the nuttiness is that in the movie's story, the massive changing sets and waters and performing horde are ostensibly doing their whole thing live onstage in a theater.
	1:23pm efd: ok, you got me.
	1:23pm dan: Speak of the devil
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: efd!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, that that pulled that scene off on a soundstage is amazing in its own right.
	1:24pm efd: I always play this on one of my marathon shows
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know that, Evan!
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well as long as he's polite...
	1:25pm efd: I can never tell when you're kidding. :)
	1:26pm Listening Out There: Isn't this the Bachman that got his stolen guitar back years later via facial recognition?
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: You can't.
	1:27pm Listening Out There: Ah, yes: Stolen guitar recovered after 45 years using facial recognition technology - boingboing.net...
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ListenerRobert: Once got an electric trap from K-Mart worked great... Plain black box - entrance has a sort of valve so enter & can't leave. Just two AA batteries & a plate apparently electrocutes them. Red & Green little lights up top - let you know if you got one. & just dump the little sucker out. Rule is: You got One, you got Three ...so keep using til you get nothing. If not going Humane ...or, Feline.
	1:29pm still b/p: Local band on tour had whole trailer of instruments and gear stolen a little more than a week ago from hotel parking lot in Colorado. Special place in hell...
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Episode spotlighting Randy Bachman on this Beatles-themed podcast fairly blew my mind : somethingaboutthebeatles.com...
	1:35pm dan: Ventures knocking it out of the park with this medley
	1:37pm still b/p: This does to me what the woman on the Walk Don't Run cover photo does to the band.
	🛒 1:38pm WR: Hi UM and all. Listening while working. Taking a break so writing quick hello. What year was that Ventures recording with the crowd "sound effects"?
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: 1965
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	🛒 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In the Year of Our Ford 2022 ...thou shall be digging a kind of KuntrySwing w/ Haprsichord thang via - get this - LawrenceWelk - via the obscure channel on an internet station from NJ via Topeka - on a plastic laptop, via stolen gym WiFis ...during a worldwide pandemic has everyone isolating & wearing masks in public ...well, obviously.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: That story can't be true, Rev.
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also, Russia.
	1:44pm still b/p: That's like a Keyser Söze concoction of fiction and random handy real details, assembled to your nefarious advantage...'z what it is.
	1:46pm dan: RIP Gary Brooker, one of the greatest singers ever. Had the pleasure of seeing him twice. First in 2010 with Procol Harum at Westbury Music Fair and then in 2016 as special guest with The Paul Winter Consort's annual Winter Solstice show. Both times, he did not disappoint.
	🛒 1:47pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Is this recording from the later years of the Everly's career? Voices are stretching for those high notes.
	1:48pm Listener Robert: OK, the putty is in the wall. (Should be a historic phrase, like the die is cast.) These mice seem to be so noisy at times it reminded me of that spoken-word series, "State of Arkansas", "State of Illinois", however many there are, where he complains of staying some place with cockroaches big as sparrows, coming and going all day, slamming doors. I think I heard a mouse slamming a door last night.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I think Don would have sung it in a different key if he didn't want that tension in the vocal.
	1:53pm still b/p: Love Dinah.
	1:54pm Webhamster Henry: I Love to Singa - Not Owl Jolson version.
	1:54pm Dominick: Ach! a crooner!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	1:55pm xtrakrispy: I love to Listena.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: I love to heara this!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: xtrakrispy!
	1:57pm Listener Robert: Right, hamster. This one sounds like actual singing, rather than like Crosby. ;-)
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: hey now
	1:59pm still b/p: In the Radiolab series on recording techniques, they talk about a period when in any instance of turning on your radio there was a 50% chance you'd hear Crosby.
	2:01pm Listener Robert: True, if you count the times you thought you were hearing Crosby and it was Richard Todd.
	2:08pm egould310: This doesn’t sound like Lt. Cable. What gives?!?
	2:09pm WLSClark: Hey Uncle and the gang! Late, but Bert coming in loud and clear!
	2:09pm egould310: Ahhh, I see. Bret Sommers. I loved her on Match Game.
	2:10pm Listener Robert: What bothers me is that if the average adult just starts singing, even in the company of friends, they'll tell hir how awful it sounds and to stop right away -- which I think is wrong, the AVERAGE person's singing isn't so bad to my ears -- and yet there've been all these people who RECORD AND SELL RECORDS and sound like heavy breathing set to music (Bing Crosby), whining set to music (Neil Young), and so on. (I won't even get into acknowledged bad singers who sound charming because they have a good gimmick like Dylan or Bingo Gazingo.) The world is so grossly unfair like that.
	2:10pm dan: Another first, Bert Sommer followed by De La Soul
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Clark! He sounds more like Woof, egould.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Can you say "Soul Makossa"?
	2:16pm WLSClark: ma ma.....
	2:19pm Listener Robert: It just bugs me that most adults "aren't allowed" to sing -- that apparently people's taste is such as to reject (or at least feign rejection of) all but a small elite of singers. But how are they judging? We don't reject most people's COOKING. We don't find most people's WRITING repulsive. So what's going on with singing?
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: ask yo mama
	2:19pm WLSClark: OH YEAH!! Four Tops clones with their writers!!!
	2:23pm doctorjazz: Listener Robert-I think it feeds on itself (the more people get to sing, the better their singing gets, the more inhibited, the worse it will sound when they try it). In general, amateurism in music went by the wayside from the days people had a piano in their house, leaned to play classics for friends and had sing alongs with them.
	2:26pm dan: Red Riding Hood's theme
	2:26pm Listener Robert: Yes, doctor, that positive feedback is a big factor. But it doesn't explain it all. It may be that recording killed singing, or music generally, for most people. But then why didn't the printing press make us start to judge AVERAGE writing as CRAP instead of just average?
	2:27pm WLSClark: I just wanna know who stole the keeshka.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: I have a friend who's a real music junkie, worked in the music biz (ASCAP, concert producing), just loves to listen. HE CAN'T SING 2 NOTES CONSECUTIVELY! I like to hear him sing, but I'm sure he's quite inhibited. It's an interesting phenomenon-obviously, the neural connection from his ear to his brain are working incredibly well. However, the neural connection from his brain to his vocal cords has something amiss. (back in college, when I'd play sing-around-the-campfire guitar, we found the perfect song he could shout in front of anyone and it was great-Lou Reeds's Sweet Jane. Worked like a charm!)
	2:28pm doctorjazz: WLSClark, if you find the keeshka, please share!
	2:28pm egould310: @Listener Robert. Most people are miserable dolts and don’t like music; let alone “singing” by “amateurs”. If you want to sing, sing your heart out. Don’t be concerned with the matters of miserable dolts.
	2:29pm WLSClark: Will do! BUT, I have been looking so long, it's probably no longer any good.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: If it's no good, it's probably even better!
	2:30pm still b/p: Heard a version of Five O' Clock the other day and for the first time paid attention to the brief note of scandal and accusation and presumed dishonesty in it....as opposed to something like Charlie on the MTA where the circumstance is understood as innocent.
	2:32pm egould310: Did not know Woof. Interesting.
	2:35pm bradford: such a great song...
	2:38pm WLSClark: The Stylistics are SOOO great!
	2:40pm WLSClark: Della making it real. Well, time to look back 65 years to when things were....the same? The end hits too close to home! www.youtube.com...
	2:40pm still b/p: Regarding song rips-off, one more odd note from the Radiolab series. A Czech early computer adopter/whiz kid talks about copyrights ignored behind Iron Curtain and songs and music repurposed: "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina,” it was released over here as a song about…" [ARCHIVE CLIP: [singing Czech] '"Drive carefully in your car when you are going through the mountains."
	2:40pm dan: Sounds like the Muppets trying to do Runaround Sue
	2:41pm adamdoesit: Hear hear, Listener Robert. To sing and to dance are essential human acts… and for doing them, folks are shamed? Feh, I say, and feh again. Everyone should have the pleasure of singing. And, if your preference is to hear song, well, no one gets better without practice.
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Roberta Flack, Les McCann & Eddie Harris. "Compared to What" has a glorious past history. Hello to you, Uncle Michael, in beautiful downtown Topeka! Late showing up as usual. I'll try to do better during the fundraiser.
	2:43pm Gerry from Miami: Roberta Flack, Les McCann & Eddie Harris. "Compared to What" has a glorious past history. Hello to you, Uncle Michael, in beautiful downtown Topeka! Late showing up as usual. I'll try to do better during the fundraiser.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	2:44pm WLSClark: What a voice!
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, BiUK.
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: As for today's topic of adult singing, I was right there with the fabulous Stylistics all the way through "Betcha By Golly, Wow." Singing in falsetto is so much fun!
	2:46pm WLSClark: Brian are you Welsh????
	2:47pm 20oz pint: Errr... I am. luverly bit of Tom
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: WSLClark my thoughts exactly. No, but I live close to the Welsh border in Shropshire. My wife is Welsh from the north.
	2:48pm dan: Knew that was Sammy Davis without looking. He has a voice that cannot be duplicated.
	2:50pm Gerry from Miami: Sammy, Dino and Frankie were all one-of-a-kind voices. Peter Lawford not so much.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: What about Joey Bishop?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: As for Joey, Uncle Mike, it goes without saying.......
	2:52pm WLSClark: I loved Joey when he filled in for Johnny and always flipped cards like Letterman did later on while telling jokes.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Gerry, yes but Frank could bend the note round corners.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: I always thought falsetto singing is cheating. Took having a daughter who's a musical theater actor to learn it's a legit register (the trick is keeping is smooth while you go into falsetto).
	2:53pm dan: A Brooklyn Jew singing like a Southern Baptist.
	2:54pm WLSClark: This Lp was so great--had her version of carole K's "Beautiful" that is where I first heard it--the title of the great musical I went to a couple weeks ago here.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Written and produced by Jews!
	2:56pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz. True falsetto singers like Frankie Valli, Eddie Kendrick, or Philip Bailey were smooth as silk.
	2:56pm dan: @UM Laura Nyro was half-Jewish
	2:56pm WLSClark: And Donny Osmond. OH, that WAS his real voice. Sorry, hahaha
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - in Folk, Pop & RawkaRollas - a distinctive voice often goes farther than a 'good' voice. Since these Forms prize Expression & novel Sounds often over Virtuosity... For the History of Popular Music behind the Iron Curtain - I always have to bring up 'How The Beatles Rocked the Kremlin' if you haven't seen it yet comrade. Also - the pilot episode of PBS's SoundTracks explores the dance hit 'A Man Like Putin' : www.pbs.org... ...all too nauseatingly timely...
	🛒 2:57pm Alvy Singer: Another gem of a show Uncle Michael. Thanks so much.
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks a million, UM! And hoping all DJs help make a million-plus starting soon!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', everyone.
	2:58pm adamdoesit: Aloha UM! Aloha rootypoots!
	2:58pm dan: Can't wait for next week's Marathon show and to find out which past requests made the CD. Thanks UM
	2:58pm doctorjazz: @Gerry-not to mention Al Green... I love great high register (falsetto) singing, just somehow got the idea that if I did it, I was cheating (not the stupidist thing I believed when I was young by a long shot).
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	2:58pm Webhamster Henry: See ya at the Marathon!
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Hinky Dinky Time is pure radio gold! Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	2:59pm doctorjazz: Great show from the great Premium CDs, UM, thanks!!!
	🛒 2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - they call it 'falsetto' - like it ain't real...
	2:59pm doctorjazz: RRN63-I think you really hit it there...
	3:00pm adamdoesit: Tryna make it real, compared to <falsetto>whaaaat!</falsetto>
	3:00pm WLSClark: Great show--what I heard!
	3:02pm spodiodi: the last hour evaporated quickly! many thanks for the great show, UM!
	3:02pm still b/p: Niiiiiice show. Hinky Dinky Anagramotron shifts PREMIUM to UM PRIME!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Bye, folkseses!
	3:03pm Listener Robert: Bye and thanks.
	🛒 3:27pm WR: Thank you UM!
