Listener comments!
	8:03pm ultradamno: Becky! Tonkies!
	👻 8:04pm Karl Ward: There’s the Merle
	👻 8:04pm Destroit: Stellar opener. Hi Becky and everyone!
	8:04pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: For some reason this Merle Haggard is giving me this vibe: 🎵 If you’re looking for me, I’ve been living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP🎵 I’m only 42, but I very much remember that theme song from being a kid.
	8:05pm Becky: Hello friends. The only way to start.
	8:05pm merl ravenscroft: strong first track!
	8:05pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya Becky, gang!
	👻 8:05pm Handy Haversack: The only times I don't sing along with the theme song are those occasions, as tonight, when there would be a real choking hazard. Becky! Tonkers! ultradamno! Karl! Destroit! Daybreak! merl! Merle!
	8:06pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: You do give Christmas gifts of Merle and Dolly Parton!!!
	👻 8:06pm Destroit: Oh jeez Daybreak- i hear it haha
	👻 8:06pm Destroit: Sup Handy, nice to see ya!
	8:07pm Cooh John: H'llo Becky and seasonal honky tonkers.
	8:08pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: I meant new slate to Merle’s greatness with my WKRP comment, it’s just childhood nostalgia stuck in my head that got dragged out!
	8:10pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hi all! Yes, I had to turn that Merle song off but I do like sad songs (even if they aren’t selling this year) it’s all about the mood one is in
	8:10pm Dano59: I sing along to Alex's song too. Big fan of his live Engelberts set on the FMA.
	👻 8:11pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "If We Make It Through December" by "Merle Haggard" Second Merle song I've heard on WFMU today. Mona started out with Roses in Winter filling in for Ken this morning!
	8:12pm Dano59: As for Merle, that thing is maybe more jaunty than it need be; but it sure is REAL.
	8:12pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: ↳ Daybreak, just Daybreak @8:08 “new slate” should read “no slight”
	8:13pm Becky: @Dano - I think it's meant to trick you into listening to it.
	8:13pm JetBoy of Astoria: Nice attack on the steel guitar back there
	👻 8:14pm Karl Ward: Surgeon heart?
	8:14pm Dano59: ↳ Becky @8:13 good point!
	👻 8:14pm Karl Ward: Sturgeon heart?
	8:14pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: The comment on comments feature is pretty fun. I especially like the arrows that pop up after so if you tap the arrow it takes you to exactly what was being commented on whether it be a song or an earlier comment
	👻 8:15pm Handy Haversack: I am glad you called out those who find this time of year trying, Becky. We, the non-Christmasers, have to endure. Easier for me than for many, I know! But it is wonderful to have an oasis from even the well-meaning holiday stuff. Especially when there's Merle in it. And all of youse!
	8:15pm merl ravenscroft: ↳ Song: "You Better Believe It" by "Rudy Gray" thurl would sound good on the bass part in this tune
	8:15pm Becky: @merl: hear, hear. Would move this from a 6/10 to a 9/10
	8:15pm Dano59: how am I not clueing in on the other voice? I KNOW it.
	8:18pm loveless: Excuse my late arrival. Hello all.
	👻 8:18pm PigeonsAndRust: Ho ho ho! I'm listening while driving around the unfashionable part of Poughkeepsie delivering charity Xmas gifts in my Santa suit. The last little kid was quick to point out: "You don't look like the real Santa Claus. Your eyes are crooked!" I think its gonna be a long night but I'm glad for this show to keep me company!
	8:19pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:18 That’s amazing pigeons in rust thank you so much from all of us!
	8:19pm Dano59: there ain't no mistletoe on death row, y'know
	8:19pm merl ravenscroft: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:18 thats their first mistake - never look a claus directly in the eye
	8:20pm Dano59: tell. 'em about that time with the Red Ryder BB Gun, PigeonsAndRust!
	👻 8:21pm Handy Haversack: But I didn't say "fudge" ...
	8:22pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:18 Good on ya, Pigeons and Rust!
	8:23pm merl ravenscroft: jimmy dean played the accordion and piano, makes sense re: Charlie Rich
	8:23pm Barefoot Jimmy G: Loving your show hard, Becky! Thanks!
	8:24pm KingOfJunk: Dropping BOMBS!
	8:24pm Dano59: that Geo. Trummell single sounds amazing
	8:25pm merl ravenscroft: where can I find more about George Trummell? all of the googles point to the WFMU page for this show :)
	8:25pm ultradamno: I'd think a true honky tonk gal wouldn't be waitin' on him
	8:26pm Becky: @merl I'm not sure what to tell you! That sleeve has my signature scribble in the corner to say I couldn't find him anywhere!
	👻 8:27pm Destroit: ↳ Becky @8:26 Digging deeeppppp into the crates when googs cant even find em!
	8:28pm Becky: Also, someone needs to tell me how to actually reply!
	8:28pm merl ravenscroft: ↳ Becky @8:28 click the chat bubble on the right of the text
	👻 8:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:28 Click the like cartoon speech bubble underneath the time signature.
	8:28pm ultradamno: So far, I'm not mad at Showtime's George & Tammy
	👻 8:28pm Deano de los Muertos: I almost forgot what day it was! 🤠
	👻 8:29pm Destroit: ↳ Becky @8:28 My firsts reply was to you. Clicky bubble thingy
	8:30pm Becky: ↳ merl ravenscroft @8:28 Thanks! I love this!

	8:44pm Dano59: Next up on The War on Christmas Channel: "This girl Brenda Lee's threat to lasso Santa Claus is classic toxic femininity ... not to mention totally socialist!!"
	👻 8:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Becky. Great things here tonight!
	8:47pm ultradamno: ↳ Dano59 @8:44 Speaking of which, I usually try to work in the clips of Rachel Sweet's take on the Brenda Lee x-mas classics on the you tubes every year...
	8:47pm The Butterman: Hey now! It mentions butter so…
	8:48pm ultradamno: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	8:51pm ultradamno: But I think I'll be watching all 7 Chucky movies on x-mas

	8:57pm Dano59: we will be enforcing Santa ID laws soon enough.
	8:58pm The Butterman: Thanks Becky.
	👻 8:58pm PigeonsAndRust: Wonderful music tonight! The best to you and yours Becky, and all the Tonkies gathered. Merry Xmas and ALL the holidays--even an early St. Swithin's Day!
