	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:27 Hi MOM!

	2:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:29 to be sure!
	2:34pm Jon Graboff: How did The Kodaks get away with that name? By just adding the "The"?
	2:35pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:29 67? What a weird winter
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 personally, I think it's a "picture perfect" name....
	2:36pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 I read somewhere that George Eastman settled on the name Kodak cause he couldn't find that word in any language!
	2:36pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 No kidding.
	2:37pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:35 I could give you such a pinch for that Dennis!
	2:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:36 "news we can use!"
	2:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:37 "I'll harm you!"
	2:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @2:35 You got that right
	2:38pm Creature Boy: I gUess I knew how central George was to the whole Kodak thing ,then again NO I didn't! Then comes Linda & Paul THEN Joey R
	2:40pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Creature Boy @2:38 hi

	2:43pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Nezrok @2:42 dig!
	2:43pm Jon Graboff: man, that Don Kirshner really knew how to assemble writing talent. Considering what a dork he seemed on Rock Concert!
	2:43pm LesleyK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:12 Hi!

	2:47pm myron feld: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:46 Hey Gerry!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:43 Good to see you
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - was this Be My Baby vox Edit vocal double tracking?
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:48 if you mean backing vox, I'd think yes!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Song: "Be My Baby vox Edit" by "The Ronettes" This is till amazing after all these decades
	2:49pm Joe W.: This version of Be My Baby is great. I think Brian would agree!
	2:50pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (Stereo Session Outtake With Alt... Man this track moves me like few other do!
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Joe W. @2:49 hi there
	2:51pm myron feld: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:50 10,000%
	2:51pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:49 hi Joe W - glad to see you! yeah, love hearing the alternate vocal!
	2:51pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:50 I can't say as to where I might disagree, son
	2:54pm WLSClark: Hi Dennis, Mom, myron, Gerry, Lesley and all the other D's!
	2:54pm Joe W.: Same here Dennis! Were you by chance at the Algonquin the night that Brian and Ronnie performed, probably sometime in the 80s? The Algonquin had a fantastic singers and songwriters series in those days.
	2:55pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 hey there - sunny & 67
	2:56pm WLSClark: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:55 We got rain/snow/ice right now--right around 32.
	2:56pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	2:57pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @2:56 Really
	2:57pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:54 indeed I was, Joe - didn't Brian freak out and hurriedly leave the room because he loved Ronnie so much?
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @2:56 hey WLSClark - hopefully you can warm up in The Den today!
	2:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:58 Hi Andrew!
	2:59pm Joe W.: Indeed he did. It was kind of sad and sweet at the same time.
	2:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:58 YES! Better than outside fer sure!
	2:59pm myron feld: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 hey WLS!
	3:00pm Jon Graboff: I can't understate the kind of goose bumps standing on stage with Ronnie and hearing that voice come out of her face. Cherished memories!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:59 yes, it was. can you recall who else was on the bill that nite?
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:00 agreed, young Jon. whenever I got on the kit at a Ronnie gig I never failed to recognize the enormity of the moment!!
	3:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:02 That`s high cotton Dennis!
	3:04pm Joe W.: I seem to remember that John Phillips was there. I think there might have been another performer but I’m forgetting who it was.
	3:04pm WLSClark: Lights just flickered, so IF I dont return, its lights out awhile! haha
	3:07pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Song: "Iko Iko" by "The Dixie Cups" This one is such a classic
	3:07pm WLSClark: Great little simple song! Someone on FMU played totally diff Dr John version last week.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:04 yes, I think you're correct
	3:09pm Nezrok: Need to play the Tommy Roe version next?
	3:10pm Nezrok: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 I know - not live
	3:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 Andy Kim?
	3:10pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 do you mean Andy Kim? or did Tommy Roe do a version of this too?
	3:11pm Nezrok: Sorry, wrong stick of bubblegum.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Nezrok @3:11 ha!
	3:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Nezrok @3:11 Personally, I think Andy did a fine job on those hits.
	3:12pm Joe W.: Here’s some news you can use, thanks to the internet. Felix Cavaliere was the other performer at the Algonquin that night. Dion was in the audience and also did a song. Can you imagine? It was surreal!
	3:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Joe W. @3:12 Holy smokes! Thanks Joe.
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:12 I don't disagree!
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:12 yes! now that you mention it, I recall that!
	3:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:13 I guess his vocals were speeded up to sound as they do, but good versions either way.
	3:15pm MOM WHIG: DD still loving all these Ronnie tunes - she is etched in all of our minds forever.
	3:15pm WLSClark: medson needs to be here.
	3:16pm Joe W.: It was amazing Andrew! That was such a great series of shows. Btw, according to the internet the Brian, Ronnie et al show occurred in 1994.
	3:16pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "I'm So Young" by "The Students" this song is so killer. And the Beach Boys did it justice, too. A lot.
	3:17pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Joe W. @3:16 Thanks again Joe.
	3:17pm WLSClark: Amazing to hear Roy doing music like this! How about Rubettes? Great Canada doowop reboot!
	3:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:14 Thanks for the glorious freak Roy Wood.
	3:18pm Joe W.: Dennis, This show is fantastic! Haven’t heard this Roy Wood track in ages. Thank you.
	3:18pm WLSClark: I hear ELO trying to sneak in one channel.
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: ↳ myron feld @3:16 you speak the truth!
	3:19pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:18 You`re right!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:17 gotta check them again, it's been ages!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:18 anytime!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:18 at your service!
	3:24pm WLSClark: I could see the Ronettes doing PF Sloan songs if they kept hits going into mid-60's better. Phil might not use them tho.
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 wow, interesting thought - I think Phil woulda loved that!
	3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:26 I just hear the moody songs being done from Phil's catalog by them.
	3:27pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:26 Could her the Ronettes doing Where Were You When I Needed you for sure!
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 for sure!
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:27 yes indeed! hey, Jonny, did you play on "Out In The Cold Again"?
	3:30pm WLSClark: If Mike Sin was here now, he'd be sobbing like a baby, Im sure.
	3:31pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:29 not sure I understand the question
	3:32pm LesleyK: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:46 Hi! Late to responding....was in work meeting
	3:32pm LesleyK: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 Hi!
	3:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:31 did you play on Ronnie's version of "Out In The Cold Again" - the cut I just played?
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:32 not that I recall. all of the shows I did were her songs and spoken word thing. mostly played the hits on those shows
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:34 I meant on the session?
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:34 and a few songs that she sighted as influences
	3:35pm WLSClark: Love the "44"sticker. I used to use those and put in my carrier by number like a good little boy. Sometimes I taped my name to 45s.
	3:35pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:34 oh. geez. I don't remember! I'll have to look. I think I did 3 songs on that record but not exactly sure. It's been a while!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 oh yes, I have scores of 45s defaced by my noodling and doodling on the labels!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:35 well, yes....
	3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:37 Yeah, thats the bad part today. back then, it was BEING EFFICIENT! Plus, I had 3 grabby brothers, haha
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 did one better - typed my name - then stuck it on there
	3:40pm WLSClark: ↳ MOM WHIG @3:38 I never did that, Mom! I DID start typing my own hits lists in 1965 but had no correcting, so used "#" and blanked out mistakes that way. What a mess.
	3:41pm WLSClark: HAD to be main Seasons song influencing Uptown Girl, me thinks.
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:41 I'd have to agree!
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:35 @Dennis - looks like I played on Amy Rigby's All I Want, Hey Sah Lo Ney and Girl From the Ghetto if I remember correctly
	3:44pm WLSClark: Great show again. Sad that time is short for your shows.
	3:44pm Joe W.: Thanks Dennis for another great show!
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: DD - Way to soon to end today's tunes. Had a GREAT time as always
	3:45pm Gerry from Miami: ↳ WLSClark @3:15 Thanks, DENNY, for this fab replay! FOREVER RONNIE!!
	3:46pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Ronnie" by "The Four Seasons" The Four Season looking a bit like a pomped-up version of the Kingston Trio (plus 1) on that record sleeve!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 thanks very much!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:44 more news we can use!
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:44 glad you could be here today, Joe!

	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:27 Hi MOM!
	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gaylord Fields @2:26 Thanks Gaylord.
	2:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:29 to be sure!
	2:34pm Jon Graboff: How did The Kodaks get away with that name? By just adding the "The"?
	2:35pm Woo: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:29 67? What a weird winter
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 personally, I think it's a "picture perfect" name....
	2:36pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 I read somewhere that George Eastman settled on the name Kodak cause he couldn't find that word in any language!
	2:36pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:34 No kidding.
	2:37pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:35 I could give you such a pinch for that Dennis!
	2:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:36 "news we can use!"
	2:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:37 "I'll harm you!"
	2:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Woo @2:35 You got that right
	2:38pm Creature Boy: I gUess I knew how central George was to the whole Kodak thing ,then again NO I didn't! Then comes Linda & Paul THEN Joey R

	2:47pm myron feld: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:46 Hey Gerry!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:43 Good to see you
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - was this Be My Baby vox Edit vocal double tracking?
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:48 if you mean backing vox, I'd think yes!
	2:48pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Song: "Be My Baby vox Edit" by "The Ronettes" This is till amazing after all these decades
	2:49pm Joe W.: This version of Be My Baby is great. I think Brian would agree!
	2:50pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (Stereo Session Outtake With Alt... Man this track moves me like few other do!
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Joe W. @2:49 hi there
	2:51pm myron feld: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:50 10,000%
	2:51pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:49 hi Joe W - glad to see you! yeah, love hearing the alternate vocal!
	2:51pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @2:50 I can't say as to where I might disagree, son
	2:54pm WLSClark: Hi Dennis, Mom, myron, Gerry, Lesley and all the other D's!
	2:54pm Joe W.: Same here Dennis! Were you by chance at the Algonquin the night that Brian and Ronnie performed, probably sometime in the 80s? The Algonquin had a fantastic singers and songwriters series in those days.
	2:55pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 hey there - sunny & 67
	2:56pm WLSClark: ↳ MOM WHIG @2:55 We got rain/snow/ice right now--right around 32.
	2:56pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	2:57pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @2:56 Really
	2:57pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:54 indeed I was, Joe - didn't Brian freak out and hurriedly leave the room because he loved Ronnie so much?
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @2:56 hey WLSClark - hopefully you can warm up in The Den today!
	2:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:58 Hi Andrew!
	2:59pm Joe W.: Indeed he did. It was kind of sad and sweet at the same time.
	2:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @2:58 YES! Better than outside fer sure!
	2:59pm myron feld: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 hey WLS!
	3:00pm Jon Graboff: I can't understate the kind of goose bumps standing on stage with Ronnie and hearing that voice come out of her face. Cherished memories!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @2:59 yes, it was. can you recall who else was on the bill that nite?
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:00 agreed, young Jon. whenever I got on the kit at a Ronnie gig I never failed to recognize the enormity of the moment!!
	3:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:02 That`s high cotton Dennis!
	3:04pm Joe W.: I seem to remember that John Phillips was there. I think there might have been another performer but I’m forgetting who it was.
	3:04pm WLSClark: Lights just flickered, so IF I dont return, its lights out awhile! haha
	3:07pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Song: "Iko Iko" by "The Dixie Cups" This one is such a classic
	3:07pm WLSClark: Great little simple song! Someone on FMU played totally diff Dr John version last week.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:04 yes, I think you're correct
	3:09pm Nezrok: Need to play the Tommy Roe version next?
	3:10pm Nezrok: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 I know - not live
	3:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 Andy Kim?
	3:10pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Nezrok @3:09 do you mean Andy Kim? or did Tommy Roe do a version of this too?
	3:11pm Nezrok: Sorry, wrong stick of bubblegum.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Nezrok @3:11 ha!
	3:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Nezrok @3:11 Personally, I think Andy did a fine job on those hits.
	3:12pm Joe W.: Here’s some news you can use, thanks to the internet. Felix Cavaliere was the other performer at the Algonquin that night. Dion was in the audience and also did a song. Can you imagine? It was surreal!
	3:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Joe W. @3:12 Holy smokes! Thanks Joe.
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:12 I don't disagree!
	3:14pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:12 yes! now that you mention it, I recall that!
	3:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:13 I guess his vocals were speeded up to sound as they do, but good versions either way.
	3:15pm MOM WHIG: DD still loving all these Ronnie tunes - she is etched in all of our minds forever.
	3:15pm WLSClark: medson needs to be here.
	3:16pm Joe W.: It was amazing Andrew! That was such a great series of shows. Btw, according to the internet the Brian, Ronnie et al show occurred in 1994.
	3:16pm myron feld: ↳ Song: "I'm So Young" by "The Students" this song is so killer. And the Beach Boys did it justice, too. A lot.
	3:17pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Joe W. @3:16 Thanks again Joe.
	3:17pm WLSClark: Amazing to hear Roy doing music like this! How about Rubettes? Great Canada doowop reboot!
	3:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:14 Thanks for the glorious freak Roy Wood.
	3:18pm Joe W.: Dennis, This show is fantastic! Haven’t heard this Roy Wood track in ages. Thank you.
	3:18pm WLSClark: I hear ELO trying to sneak in one channel.
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: ↳ myron feld @3:16 you speak the truth!
	3:19pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:18 You`re right!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:17 gotta check them again, it's been ages!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:18 anytime!
	3:19pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Joe W. @3:18 at your service!
	3:24pm WLSClark: I could see the Ronettes doing PF Sloan songs if they kept hits going into mid-60's better. Phil might not use them tho.
	3:26pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 wow, interesting thought - I think Phil woulda loved that!
	3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:26 I just hear the moody songs being done from Phil's catalog by them.
	3:27pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:26 Could her the Ronettes doing Where Were You When I Needed you for sure!
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 for sure!
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:27 yes indeed! hey, Jonny, did you play on "Out In The Cold Again"?
	3:30pm WLSClark: If Mike Sin was here now, he'd be sobbing like a baby, Im sure.
	3:31pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:29 not sure I understand the question
	3:32pm LesleyK: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:46 Hi! Late to responding....was in work meeting
	3:32pm LesleyK: ↳ WLSClark @2:54 Hi!
	3:32pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:31 did you play on Ronnie's version of "Out In The Cold Again" - the cut I just played?
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:32 not that I recall. all of the shows I did were her songs and spoken word thing. mostly played the hits on those shows
	3:34pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:34 I meant on the session?
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:34 and a few songs that she sighted as influences
	3:35pm WLSClark: Love the "44"sticker. I used to use those and put in my carrier by number like a good little boy. Sometimes I taped my name to 45s.
	3:35pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:34 oh. geez. I don't remember! I'll have to look. I think I did 3 songs on that record but not exactly sure. It's been a while!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 oh yes, I have scores of 45s defaced by my noodling and doodling on the labels!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:35 well, yes....
	3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Dennis Diken @3:37 Yeah, thats the bad part today. back then, it was BEING EFFICIENT! Plus, I had 3 grabby brothers, haha
	3:38pm MOM WHIG: ↳ WLSClark @3:35 did one better - typed my name - then stuck it on there
	3:40pm WLSClark: ↳ MOM WHIG @3:38 I never did that, Mom! I DID start typing my own hits lists in 1965 but had no correcting, so used "#" and blanked out mistakes that way. What a mess.
	3:41pm WLSClark: HAD to be main Seasons song influencing Uptown Girl, me thinks.
	3:42pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:41 I'd have to agree!
	3:44pm Jon Graboff: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:35 @Dennis - looks like I played on Amy Rigby's All I Want, Hey Sah Lo Ney and Girl From the Ghetto if I remember correctly
	3:44pm WLSClark: Great show again. Sad that time is short for your shows.
	3:44pm Joe W.: Thanks Dennis for another great show!

	3:45pm Gerry from Miami: ↳ WLSClark @3:15 Thanks, DENNY, for this fab replay! FOREVER RONNIE!!
	3:46pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Ronnie" by "The Four Seasons" The Four Season looking a bit like a pomped-up version of the Kingston Trio (plus 1) on that record sleeve!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 thanks very much!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: ↳ Jon Graboff @3:44 more news we can use!
