Listener comments!
	12:59pm Mr Fab: good hello, Miss Mei!
	1:00pm MHLee: hello
	1:01pm MHLee: it's a bit quiet
	1:01pm Mr Fab: heard you clearing your throat, but the music is pretty distant.
	1:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:01 Let me see what the deal is.
	1:03pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:01 So I have the proper setting on and yet it seems to be recording my external mic. Give me a bit.
	1:06pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:01 I can't figure this out so I have another plan, give me a little bit and I'll get that ready.
	👻 1:06pm WR: Hi Miss Mei & Sheena streamers. The music sounded ok but noticeably lower than the stream was. And yes, we heard someone clear their throat, and a minute later, sing along for a phrase. And I am so slow writing this that you will have rebooted and changed settings twice by the time you see this.
	1:08pm Mr Fab: Shutting the system down all the way down and restarting often works (as you probably know)
	1:09pm MHLee: Is this Mr Ed in German?
	1:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ MHLee @1:09 Ya!
	1:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:06 Sorry about that, I live with family and totally wasn't singing to myself ^^' jk i was just lowkey embarrassed
	1:13pm Miss Mei: Are we hearing Jimmie now?
	1:13pm Mr Fab: We're back, sounds good!
	👻 1:13pm WR: Yes, loud and clear
	1:14pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:13 Ok good! I was about to go for broke and perform songs live for the next 2 hours since the mic setting wasn't changing.
	1:14pm Jan Turkenburg: Hello Miss Mei, WR, Mr Fab, MHlee!
	1:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Miss Mei @1:14 One of these days I'm gonna do a show where I play songs live. All of your ears better be prepared for bleeding!
	1:16pm Miss Mei: OMG we are listening to "WHO DAT?"
	1:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:16 Heck yeah!
	1:20pm Miss Mei: Jimmie R. Vestal (B. 1940) is a musician from Winston-Salem, NC who first started recording music with bands in the 1960s. At some point, he relocated to Pinelas Park, Florida. In 1999, Irwin and Michelle played Jimmie's song "Fishin' Wire Eddy" on Incorrect Music (We'll get to that song soon) but the show wasn't archived so I looked him up on YouTube and found his really awesome channel. www.youtube.com...
	1:22pm Miss Mei: Birth date isn't 1940, whoops! that was for a different artist that I got confused with.
	1:23pm Miss Mei: I E-Mailed Jimmie last night about potentially airing new recordings on the show and to ask him about his music career. fingers crossed!
	1:24pm Mr Fab: i wanna clicky-star some of these songs!
	1:26pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:24 www.youtube.com... Here is the playlist on YouTube.
	1:26pm MHLee: This sounds great
	1:27pm Miss Mei: I apologise to everyone for my current format by the way. I'm in the process of being diagnosed with a condition that is very physically draining so it's hard to do things
	1:28pm Miss Mei: I like being meticulous with all the songs and info usually
	1:28pm Miss Mei: "Racing 'Round The Track" starts now! The track we just heard was "Brand New Baby."
	1:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:26 Ah, perfect!
	1:32pm Miss Mei: I PROMISE that I will bring back the good format though!
	1:33pm Miss Mei: We are now listening to "That's All Right"
	1:33pm Mr Fab: the album artwork: I gotta know what movie are they watching at the drive-in that features a stack of records? I'd watch it.
	1:34pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:33 I hope they're all private press oddities! I'll take 1 Sam Sacks and 2 Tony Fabbris, please!
	1:35pm Miss Mei: Now we are on one of my favourites, "My Precious Love"!
	1:37pm Miss Mei: Next up: "Stuck Record"!
	1:40pm Miss Mei: Now we're at "How Many Times?"
	1:42pm Mr Fab: i take it Jimmie is a one-man band?
	1:43pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:42 Yes, usually, but he has recorded with bands before. I think one or two of his 60s recordings are on one of the albums I'm playing today.
	1:44pm Miss Mei: In the 60s he recorded a sequel to "Wooly Bully" entitled "Wooly Bully Again" with the band The Soul Brothers.
	1:44pm Miss Mei: You are now listening to "Little Cajun Baby"
	1:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:44 love it
	1:46pm Miss Mei: This is "The Strongest Love".
	1:48pm MHLee: touching song there
	1:48pm MHLee: a little simplistic
	👻 1:48pm WR: doing search for Jimmie R. Vestal, and so far finding no info. Do see that two albums are available for MP3 play on Amazon.
	1:48pm Miss Mei: YES! My number one fav! FISHIN WIRE EDDY!!!
	1:48pm MHLee: this grooves though
	1:49pm Miss Mei: You all NEED to watch the music video for this after my show. I wanna make stuff like this. I showed this to Gary Wilson because it reminded me of him. www.youtube.com...
	1:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:48 Yeah, this is fun
	1:52pm Miss Mei: Next song: "Our Love"
	1:54pm Miss Mei: Another fave, "I Got A Round Tuit"
	1:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:54 diggin the New Wave sound on this one
	1:58pm Miss Mei: Next album! Songs You Will Love .... After A 6-Pak (Volume 1) This is Hawaiian Luau!
	1:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:58 Crazy! This could be by The Cramps.
	2:01pm Miss Mei: This is "Steak Sauce And A Song" which ties in with a steak sauce called Bald Headed Diva, which is based on another song Jimmie did.
	2:01pm MHLee: This is something
	2:04pm Miss Mei: This is "He'Brew Beer And A Song"
	2:05pm Miss Mei: I'm not sure if it is made anymore, it was advertised as a Jewish beer
	2:06pm Miss Mei: Get high on the holy day
	2:07pm Miss Mei: Now playing: "The 3 Racketters"
	2:07pm Miss Mei: Next: "Clubbin' In Miami Beach"
	2:11pm Mr Fab: "Drive-Ins, Juke Boxes, and Good Times" was pretty much straight-ahead songs, if a bit eccentric and amateurish (in a good way). This album on the other hand is just off the rails.
	2:12pm MHLee: ↳ Miss Mei @2:05 Found them online
	2:12pm Miss Mei: Next: "Bald Headed Diva (Generic)"
	2:17pm MHLee: ↳ Mr Fab @2:11 I agree
	2:19pm Miss Mei: That was "Bald Headed Diva (Hard Rock Cafe)"
	2:20pm Miss Mei: Next one: "Goodbye, Dear, Goodbye"
	2:21pm Mr Fab: Don't know what happened to Jimmie in the 2 years since he released "Drive-Ins, Juke Boxes," but dementia sure set in pretty fast. What a weird album: the same songs twice in a row with only slightly different lyrics, jokes ranging from bad to nonsensical, fake ads, whacked-out songs about Bald Headed Divas, kooky sound fx...this makes The Residents sound like Pat Boone. Quite the discovery here, Miss Mei.
	2:23pm MHLee: ↳ Miss Mei @2:20 If there was brother harmony on that it could be maybe a good Beverly brothers song
	2:23pm MHLee: everly
	2:23pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:21 www.youtube.com... here is one of his many awesomely bizarre Youtube videos.
	2:23pm Miss Mei: This is "Two Old Flames (And Only One Match)"
	2:24pm MHLee: ↳ Miss Mei @2:23 also quite fun
	2:24pm MHLee: Enjoying your show today...
	2:25pm Miss Mei: www.youtube.com... Music video for another fav, "Struttin In The U.S.A."
	2:26pm Miss Mei: This one is "Tell Me".
	2:29pm Miss Mei: "Nashville Couch Potato"
	2:33pm Miss Mei: "Who Dat? (2nd Version)" !!! WHO DAT!
	2:36pm Miss Mei: "100 Bottles of Beer On The Wall"
	2:38pm Otis: Bartender, whatever you have on tap. Happy to be here at the Honky Tonk with you all.
	2:39pm Miss Mei: Here is Jimmie with The Soul Brothers, recorded in the 60s. "Wooly Bully Again"
	2:39pm Miss Mei: Jimmie wrote the lyrics and is on bass and backing vocals I believe
	2:42pm Miss Mei: This is called "Good-Bye".
	2:43pm Miss Mei: Currently it's 2:42 EST, I'm on my patio with water, a bao bun and a Dunkin' Donuts free coffee coupon book which I'm doodling on. Hope all are well !
	2:44pm MHLee: ↳ Miss Mei @2:39 david crosby considered woolie bullie the worst song ever written
	2:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ MHLee @2:44 Well, clearly he never heard "Wooly Bully Again"!
	👻 2:54pm WR: Thanks for the recordings, Miss Mei.
	2:55pm Miss Mei: Thanks for joining, everyone! Had a lot of fun.
	2:56pm Otis: Thanks Mei for Jimmie!
	2:57pm Mr Fab: Great stuff, thanks so much for this!
