	8:06pm The Count of Al Dente: Hoooow-dee! (ignore the price tag hanging from my hat)
	8:07pm Lothianman: Wow Becky did you actually find a tune by the same name? And a killer one at that! Of course it's a 45 us laymen have no chance at downloading!!
	8:10pm Becky: Ha, the first one?? It's not a 45, it's just my theme song!

	8:20pm coelacanth∅: howdy Count
	8:21pm loveless: @Handy Hey! At least it cooled off for your trip. Now we just need rain(water).
	8:22pm Becky: Hope everyone is having a great summer! Where did you go if anywhere? I mostly stayed here but was in Virginia, Chicago, and Portland!
	8:22pm johnk77: swinging work selecter thank u crash craddock's boom boom baby went #1 australia later he spent a few years away from the entertainment industry working in a cigarette factory
	8:23pm coelacanth∅: good for you Handy you seem to be doing some traveling lately! wish i were ...i'm taking tomorrow off, i think, so if you see a bum on a street corner with a wfmu shirt, drinking coffee do stop and ask touristy questions!
	8:23pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	8:24pm Becky: @johnk my copy of Boom Boom is a picture sleeve - amazing that you can have a picture sleeve and still end up working on the line.
	8:24pm P-90: Ronnie’s Summertime is sublime.
	👻 8:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm hoping it at least holds off while we're trying to canoe around, loveless! Summer of road trips, Becky. We went to Ithaca and the Catskills at the beginning of July. Out to Michigan to see family at the end of July. Tomorrow heading for the Shawangunks and Maine before K8's back to work in Sept. Will do, coela! If you see a bummy car with WFMU shirts in it slowing down, don't freak out!
	👻 8:25pm DanFA: Are there any other country musicians whose nicknames are animals? Possum, Hawk.
	8:26pm johnk77: we went to southampton ny
	👻 8:27pm Handy Haversack: DanFA, Cooter was my congressperson, if that counts.
	8:27pm The Count of Al Dente: I haven't gone anywhere no-how yet, but want to spend two or three weeks on a photo safari around the country. Just haven't figured out when yet. Otherwise I'll just head north to Grand Marais for a spell. The State Fair starts this Thursday and that's across the river in St. Paul, so at least that gets me to another city.
	👻 8:28pm DanFA: @Handy, is that the guy from Dukes of Hazard?
	👻 8:28pm Handy Haversack: Yup. Ben Jones.
	8:29pm The Count of Al Dente: Red Foley ain't an animal, but it does sound like something you'd pull on someone.
	8:30pm Becky: How can we forget the Silver-Haired Fox, Charlie Rich, the Patron Saint of the Honky Tonk Radio Girl program!?!
	👻 8:30pm Handy Haversack: Or poke in someone.
	8:33pm loveless: @DanFA Skeeter (mosquito) Davis.
	8:34pm Late Bloomer: This sounds awesome too
	8:34pm coelacanth∅: i guess Eddie Rabbit doesn't count because it's not a nick name
	8:35pm Dano59: mmm I went to the Adirondacks, drove to Oneonta and Lafayette NY and up into the Finger Lakes for concerts and parties; and down into Pa. Mostly close to home though. After 6 mos. I am finally getting my car back tomorrow!
	👻 8:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: I always thought Lefty Frizzell was a great nickname.
	👻 8:36pm Mr. Fine Wine: Inkster!
	👻 8:37pm Handy Haversack: Mr. Fine Wine, we did a little record shopping in Muskegon, MI, at the beginning of the month on our trip. The downtown has actually developed a record shop. Mostly nice reissues rather than older originals. We delved into a few thrift stores, too. Apparently a dealer had just cleaned out the best of them.
	8:38pm Dano59: Pig Robbins.
	8:38pm Becky: Mutt<>Country Caravan up there with Fortune<>Hi-Q in the all-time Detroit record label subsidiaries
	8:39pm Dano59: Henry Gibson's riff on country nicknames in Altman's 'Nashville' is a hoot.
	8:39pm ultradamno: Fun fact: He actually had to kill all the other red hot daddies to collect on a tontine, clearing the way to putting that song out
	👻 8:41pm DanFA: @Becky, did not know that was Charlie Rich's nickname. I just looked up a photo of him and hubba hubba hubba.
	8:42pm Dano59: he was the Silver Fox even as a relatively young man ca. 1971.
	8:42pm coelacanth∅: if country blues counts then Rabbit Brown, Hound Dog Taylor (bit of a stretch), Tabby Thomas
	👻 8:42pm Mr. Fine Wine: There's currently a good record store in inkster. Near Muskegon, in another seaside town, there's a kind of crazy record store with good stuff but dumb pricing.
	8:42pm Dano59: Careful of that Second Step, now ... There Stands the Glass.
	8:44pm bummus: sounds sick
	👻 8:44pm Handy Haversack: We mourn a place in Pentwater that closed before we had the turntable resurrected. Here I am paying Brooklyn prices for Blue Öyster Cult like a schnook.
	8:45pm Becky: Handy, do you mostly buy the discography of BOC?
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: damn. i could've sent you an 8-track tape of blue oyster cult
	👻 8:46pm Handy Haversack: Well, "mostly" is a shifting target ... but no. I just remember they had a bunch of early BÖC and for cheap! The one fun record left behind by the dealer at the thrift store in Muskegon was Rhythm Nation. Who are we to say no?
	8:48pm ultradamno: Once you know a band has written a love song comparing his girl to a foot, loyalty is assured.
	8:48pm Gaylord Fields: @MFW: I'm curious as to what "dumb" pricing is: MFW: "How much for this Emanuel Laskey 45?" Record Shop Clerk: "What kind of car do you drive? Or else, you got any carrots on you? I'd also take a baggie full of fish scales, or one filled with Mondale for President badges, or both in equal proportion. Or let's call it 680,000 yen, and it's yours!"
	👻 8:51pm DanFA: As the kids say, we have no choice but to stan.
	👻 8:51pm Mr. Fine Wine: Okay, okay. What I meant by dumb pricing was taking 10 minutes to look up a record on every website imaginable and deciding to charge the highest price anyone's ever asked for it online when there's a customer standing in front of you with cash.
	8:51pm coelacanth∅: regarding the fish scales: i don't have it now but i can get it we're good on the Mondale badges, if it's a small baggie
	👻 8:51pm Handy Haversack: Gaylord: "You just lost yourself a customer!" Hell yeah, Kitty Wells!
	👻 8:52pm Mr. Fine Wine: The town in question, whose name I couldn't remember above, is Montague, Michigan.
	8:52pm Gaylord Fields: @MFW: Ah, I call that "stupid pricing" — please excuse the confusion.
	8:54pm ultradamno: I just assumed that was what they did at Dumb Starbucks
	8:55pm Eric D: Howdy Tonkers! Hail Kitty Wells!
	👻 8:56pm Mr. Fine Wine: I left behind three clean copies of Too Many Tears by Miles Stone because of the dumb/stupid pricing. If anyone wants to go looking for them.
	👻 8:56pm PigeonsAndRust: I went to a record store like that and asked for 78s. They had two and one of them was the original Vocalion issue of "East Saint Louis Toodle-oo" in E-!! So the kid looks it up on the internet, but must have found a later repress or something, and after a few minutes shrugs and says "Ten bucks." I whipped that ten dollar bill out faster than you can say Jack Robinson!
	👻 8:57pm Handy Haversack: Ah, Monatgue. Gateway to the even norther!
	👻 8:58pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ha, Pigeons. I live for those moments. When they don't realize they're seeing the prices of the reissue of the ultrararity. Sometimes things even out.
	8:58pm Becky: All I have to say is the Inkster store is great and run by lovely people who take reasonable amounts of cash for good records.
	8:59pm ultradamno: This song is a real slap in the face to all the queen of honky tonk street runners up
	8:59pm radioronan: Thanks Becky ! Cheer y'all!
	👻 8:59pm Handy Haversack: Crap damn it, I think I left my cider book in Michigan. Unless any of you have seen it? Many thanks, Becky! Great show. Maybe we'll catch you from Maine next week!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Becky!
	👻 9:00pm PigeonsAndRust: Great show Becky, THANK YOU! @Gaylord I look forward to seeing you at Quinn's Friday!!
	👻 9:00pm Handy Haversack: They're doing better than the less-than-red-hot daddies, ultradamno.
	9:00pm Dano59: where does the hour GO?
	👻 9:00pm Mr. Fine Wine: Handy, you're the king of summer seaside travel!
	9:00pm Gaylord Fields: See you then, PigeonsAnd Rust!
	👻 9:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. Wait, what? Quinn's on Friday. I need to consider going to that.
	👻 9:01pm Handy Haversack: I ran unopposed, Mr. FW!
	9:01pm The Count of Al Dente: Ciao.
	9:01pm Gaylord Fields: @KFHP: Yeah, I'm the worst at self-promotion.
	👻 9:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: <thumbs-up emoji>, Gaylord!
