	9:26am Asheville Jon: but will we ever know who put the 'ram' in the ramalamading-dong?
	9:27am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Valarie" by "The Starlites" Someone needs to revive the "doo-wop while screaming and crying" sound.
	👻 9:30am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "The Bells" by "Billy Ward & His Dominoes" And furthermore, boo hoo hoo.
	9:31am northguineahills: ↳ nycmusicnerd @9:26 exhausted, but I do have keys to my new apt, now i just have to wait until Friday to move in (and pay rent).

	👻 9:44am Listener Bryan (the Professor): (Also dug the opening set!)
	9:44am Eugene R: Group Harmony Review, with Dan Romanello, on WFUV-FM (90.7, Fordham University). Ran until 2018 on Saturdays at midnight. https://wfuv.org/content/yours-in-group-harmony
	9:45am The Oscar: It just occurred to me the proper name of the genre in the last set should be "boo-hoo-wop."
	9:45am Joe McG: ↳ The Oscar @9:45 Ha ha!
	9:46am modern blaze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZ3pxgvfhY will be my theme song while i'm in NYC again
	9:46am Michele with One "L": ↳ Song: "Echoes" by "The Umbrellas" 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
	9:46am Joe McG: ↳ Eugene R @9:44 I used to listen to it on Saturday afternoons. There were also good doo-wop shows on WRHU and the Adelphi station, too, whose call letters are escaping me at the moment.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Doo Wop does the job.
	👻 9:48am tim: Hey Joe! Hello everyone!
	9:49am chresti: I used to hear doo-wop on late night XERB with Wolfman Jack, early 70s when I was a pre-teen
	👻 9:50am nycmusicnerd: I'm an acapellahead. Doo-wop is closely related.
	9:50am Handy Haversack: Hey, Tim! I owe you an e-mail -- Sunday was busy!
	👻 9:51am Deano de los Muertos: Michele of the solitary L
	9:51am modern blaze: where to listen doo-wop on radio these days? new york doo-wop prefered
	9:51am Joe McG: ↳ chresti @9:49 Wow, that's pretty optimal!
	9:51am chresti: Yes! Persuasions!
	👻 9:51am tim: ↳ chresti @9:49 Like ZZ Top, your heard it on The X!
	👻 9:52am nycmusicnerd: ↳ chresti @9:51 Have you seen there's a documentary about Jerry Lawson circulating on PBS?
	9:52am Son Of Pantz: ↳ modern blaze @9:51 Cladrite radio has a mix of crooners, doo wop and old jazz.
	👻 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Rebranding opportunity for a nearby town Doo Woppingers Falls.
	👻 9:53am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 No sweat, buddy! Take your time. I was about to send you one with something I've been meaning to ask you about.
	9:53am judy from croton: Lovely Carl and Passions
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems interesting to me that in a lot of 'Rawk Histories' - DooWop is glossed over entirely. Yet the idea that it's such a Street phenomenon - image of neighborhood toughs around a lamp trying to sound sweet... Then the influence on this on the next phase of Vocal Groups into the 1960s. When I often think that Bands Singing Harmony has disappeared - tho I'm sure there are any number of Alt~Indy bands who do now... Everything in cycles maybe...
	9:53am modern blaze: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:52 thanks!
	👻 9:54am Zip7: When my daughter was about seven, she used to growl her version of Little Anthony: "You don't remember me/But I remember you/'Twas not so long ago/You made me very mad"
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ judy from croton @9:53 One of Dennis' finest moments, I think.
	9:54am judy from croton: I mean Beach Boys New to me
	9:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @9:53 I am here and have answers at the ready!
	9:54am chinn: ↳ Song: "Cuddle Up" by "The Beach Boys" I love this song, but I sometimes find it hard to listen to. Just really suffused with pain...
	9:55am chresti: Right! All night. The Mexican programming would wake me in the morning @tim
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... Alice Cooper! We're not worthy!
	9:57am chresti: @tim, back then it was the soul xpress
	9:58am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... Kinda want this 'piano player' under my wheels
	👻 9:59am tim: ↳ chresti @9:57 That's so cool! That reminds me that I need to bust out my shortwave radio to see if I can pick up some magic from elsewhere.
	9:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice knew Syd from Floyd's first time in the USA.
	9:59am Joe McG: ↳ StringOFperils @9:58 Ha ha, I love his tinkles.
	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... This works quite nicely. Alice knows when to go over the top as well as when to rein it in.
	👻 10:00am nycmusicnerd: A great place to look for radio magic is radio.garden . Not www.radio.garden, just radio.garden . You'll be taken to a map of the world with points of light on it. Each point is a radio station located in that part of the world. Click and listen.
	10:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cuddle Up" by "The Beach Boys" The album cover of So Tough is how we use to say - so tough. It's an illustration by Dave Willardson of a sedan with the inscription on the rear window. That was a real thing in L.A. when I was growing up. Low riders with song dedication in elegant scrip painted on the glass in white.
	10:00am modern blaze: ↳ judy from croton @9:54 are you kidding?) Beach Boys is one of the most influential groups there ever existed!
	10:01am clarke: actually, i dug wakeman's piano on dat.
	10:01am Blix: That WYWH cover goes into the "seemed like a good idea when we drew it up" file.
	👻 10:02am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:00 Whoa! Thanks, nyc! That is super cool!
	👻 10:04am nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @10:02 Be warned: It's a MAJOR rabbit hole.
	10:06am Son Of Pantz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:04 If you're into old time radio shows (like me!) there are a coupe out of Illinois that showed up on my radio garden globe spin.
	👻 10:07am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:06 Cool, I'll have to check that out.
	10:07am Jim the Poet: I love Dando and Hatfield's voices together
	10:07am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:06 used to really hit that garden for a while, there.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Looking for Space" by "Evan Dando" First time I ever went into anybody's Studio - back almost to HighSchool - we were basement jammers - then a girl from the school had a 12-String & did this JohnDenver number. I think I tried to play Bass along to it. On odd way to be familiar with it ...from another lifetime...
	10:08am clarke: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" might just be me, but are either hatfield/dando interested in WRITING NEW SONGS at all?? (or is it writer's block?)?
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: I remember buying this GP tribute. After a few plays I went back to the originals. Do tribute album work?
	👻 10:08am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:04 Haha! I can only imagine.
	10:08am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" My go-to 2AM Maxwell's jukebox song (the Gram version).
	10:08am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" Oh yeah, this cut! Awesome. The whole record is great.
	10:09am Joe non Papa: ↳ modern blaze @9:51 Modern Blaze - check out WFMU's own doo wop stream show that ran for more than a year, dj'd by medson: wfmu.org...
	10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @10:08 All depends. Often they are perfunctory...
	10:09am judy from croton: Yikes; didn't mean I do not worship at The BB altar. Just don't know Cuddle Up
	10:10am StringOFperils: Evan Dando should be greater on the books than he is but I guess that's how he needs it to be...
	10:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @10:08 Juliana confirmed in her stage banter last night and in her interview with Clay Pigeon that she's working on a new album of originals now. She's been alternating covers and originals albums lately. I was disappointed in the crowd not knowing all this from the Clay Pigeon interview. Come on, people!
	10:10am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:08 Great choice, Tim!
	10:11am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:10 well - to quote dando: it's about time!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:10 also dude, i haven't had time to archive that show, yet.
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:09 Ooooh like perfunctory & just the right word.
	10:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:12 Clock's ticking!
	10:13am clarke: it's about time.
	10:13am Tim 07030: Victoria Williams: subject of AND contributor to tribute albums. A rare combo!
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @10:12 ...'specially if it's a Funk tribute...
	10:17am clarke: phone's ringin' dude.
	10:18am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Rene" by "Spencer Cullum" This is a Mike Nesmith/Red Rhodes cover, right? ....I think......the floor of memory falls away....
	10:18am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:13 Name some others! Here are two: Lou Reed, Richard Thompson
	10:19am Joe McG: ↳ StringOFperils @10:18 It is!
	10:19am judy from croton: Victoria Williams is a national treasure
	10:19am StringOFperils: ↳ Joe McG @10:19 Ah, thanks!
	10:20am Philip: Vic Chesnutt!!! Thx
	10:20am Tim 07030: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Is there a Matthew Sweet tribute? Because God knows he's on everybody else's!
	👻 10:21am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Add Nick Lowe to that list.
	👻 10:21am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Lou Reed's A Gift from Coney Island Baby was definitely a tribute to himself. ;)
	10:21am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:20 He and Juliana Hatfield need to have a cage match.
	10:22am Joe McG: ↳ tim @10:21 Ha!
	10:22am clarke: ↳ tim @10:21 and Lulu was a disservice to himself.
	10:22am Tim 07030: Alejandro Escovedo is on his own tribute album, which takes chutzpah.
	👻 10:23am tim: ↳ clarke @10:22 I still haven't heard Lulu. My contrary self thinks that I will probably like it because everyone hates it - hahaha!
	10:24am clarke: ↳ tim @10:23 stay ignorant and blissful!
	10:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Nick Cave
	10:24am clarke: and stay gold, timmy boy.
	10:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:18 So, I had this friend named Rene. She insisted I take her to my moms house to raid the mulberry tree and make a pie. After, she wanted to get high, so we came back here and I obliged her. Walking down the driveway holding her pie, she turned around and said "I got to get away from you."
	10:29am xtrakrispy: Prince. He appeared on the George Harrison tribute with that searing guitar solo to “Gently Weeps” and there are tons of tributes to him…
	10:30am Dean: Peter Gabriel appears on a Leonard Cohen tribute and is the subject of at least one tribute album.
	👻 10:30am nycmusicnerd: Paul McCartney. He appeared on the "Rave On" Buddy Holly tribute album, and I'm SURE there have been tribute albums to him at some point.
	10:31am Dean: Gabriel's also on a tribute to Princess Diana.
	👻 10:31am tim: It's hard to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys!
	10:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dean @10:30 Leonard Cohen tributes seem like a rich territory for this. That's what had me thinking of Nick Cave.
	10:32am The Oscar: Tom Waits appears on the Daniel Johnston tribute album, and I know there's been at least one tribute album to him. For that matter, Daniel has appeared on (at least) the Schoolhouse Rock and Rutles tributes!
	👻 10:32am nycmusicnerd: I picked up a Leonard Cohen tribute album at one of the WFMU CD sales just so I could hear Iggy Pop cover "You Want It Darker".
	10:34am Crownless Gander: Sloan were on a Joni Mitchell tribute album and there are at least a couple of tributes to them out there.
	10:34am Joe McG: These are great suggestions! I'll do a set sometime.
	10:34am clarke: Marshall Crenshaw??
	10:34am rob: Is this the most played song on FMU? Maybe Ken playing whole shows of the same song broke my brain
	10:35am Will: I hope someone performed "The Battle of Epping Forest" on the Peter Gabriel tribute album.
	👻 10:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @10:34 I know MC has appeared on tribute albums. If there's a tribute album to MC out there, I want to know about it! :)
	👻 10:35am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:32 I think there's an Iggy tribute record too. I think it's called We Will Fall.
	10:35am Tim 07030: There was more to Charlie than handing out scarves!
	10:36am Dean: Another spin on the theme: celebrities who were subjects of a Friars Club roast, and who also appeared roasting another subject. Don Rickles!
	10:36am Creature Boy: There are dozens and dozens of cover versions of hvpta
	10:36am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:35 yeah, i'm not sure about that part, but i have heard covers of his tunes.
	👻 10:37am tim: ↳ Dean @10:36 Hey you hockey puck!
	👻 10:37am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @10:36 Ronnie Spector did an EP with some of his tunes on it. MC & Graham Maby played on it.
	10:37am clarke: clarence carter clarence carter clarence carter
	👻 10:37am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "The Court Room" by "Clarence Carter" Story song!
	👻 10:38am Karl: Feel like there's a twist a-comin'
	10:39am Joe McG: ↳ Karl @10:38 Quite a twist alright!
	10:39am Roberto: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 Was the reverend strokin'?
	👻 10:39am Karl: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 And now I'm sad
	10:39am StringOFperils: ↳ Roberto @10:39 A prison medley that finishes up with 'Strokin'
	10:39am clarke: is there a Joe Henry comp??
	👻 10:40am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Roberto @10:39 Sounds like the Rev didn't have nothin' to stroke!
	10:40am Franco Twinkie: Took one in the nards, did he?
	10:40am Joe McG: ↳ Roberto @10:39 Nope. It's kind of a Jake Barnes type situation.
	10:41am Roberto: Strokin't.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: All of this has reminded me that I'm not sure where my copy of I'm Your Fan, the Leonard Cohen tribute CD from the nineties, is. And this upsets me.
	10:42am Joe McG: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 It's under the bananas.
	10:43am clarke: since covers ain't my thing, i am not sure which comps are out there.
	👻 10:43am Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 There's a copy in every thrift store in Montreal, but there's a catch: it's hidden in the jacket pocket of a secondhand suit
	10:44am Son Of Pantz: I had Skyline chili over the weekend and now I have "Can Heat".
	10:45am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:44 Ouch!
	10:46am Barefoot Jimmy G: www.youtube.com...
	10:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @10:43 See, I knew there was a reason they keep the suits under the secondhand bananas!
	10:48am Roberto: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:44 Don't shid your Pantz.
	10:48am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "Reap the Wild Wind" by "Ultravox" Yeah, baby. Although no matter what Ultravox song I hear I just want to bellow 'THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME!'
	10:49am BillfromRockTavern: The Midge Ure era yielded some really well done music videos.
	10:50am Jim the Poet: Bazoom
	10:50am Dean: I saw the John Fox iteration at The Whisky in Hollywood. Great show.
	10:51am Andres: ↳ Song: "Reap the Wild Wind" by "Ultravox" Good morning. Loving this! Totally missed it back in the day. After school video shows preferred nuclear apocalypse themed vids.
	10:51am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "I Need Your Lovin' (Bazoom)" by "The Cheers" The B-side of 'Vienna'
	10:51am Joe McG: ↳ Jim the Poet @10:50 That's the spirit, Jim!
	10:52am clarke: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:51 ha ha ha, wow!
	10:53am Jim the Poet: ↳ Joe McG @10:51 I definitely need SOME ONE'S loving
	10:53am clarke: soifuss nerse
	10:54am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Good morning Joe!!
	10:55am Joe McG: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @10:54 Hey Danny!
	10:55am clarke: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" this the b-side??
	👻 10:56am tim: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Has Sheila B heard this?!?!? Alan Parsons girl group style!!!
	10:56am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Wow, I forgot about this one! Real nice.
	10:57am Joe McG: ↳ tim @10:56 Sheila is the biggest Alan Parsons Project fan I ever met. She's on it!
	👻 10:57am DanielMac Listener 272753: Morning Everyone! Great song- I had this on cassette way back!
	10:57am clarke: yeah, this is cool.
	10:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" This was a pretty major component of my childhood soundtrack.
	10:58am clarke: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:57 like a cassingle??
	👻 10:58am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:57 Haha! I figured she had it on lock down!
	10:58am Andres: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Heavy video play! It was a fave.
	10:59am clarke: hah, i've never heard this.
	10:59am clarke: but, dig the castanets!!
	11:00am Goyim in the AM: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" More Phil Spector tributes should have Zombies and King Crimbos on them.
	11:00am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Out in the Streets" by "The Shangi-Las" Aw-- maybe my favorite Shangri-Las song.
	👻 11:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" This has the Jeff Lynne production style he used on the albums he produced 1987-1989. Roy Orbison, George Harrsion, Tom Petty, etc.
	11:00am Triple G: Hi Joe and all, I'll have to listen to the archives -- show looks like it's been based on the playlist
	11:01am clarke: ↳ The Oscar @11:00 and why NOT???
	11:02am clarke: RIP MW!!
	11:05am clarke: wow, how much footage is there??
	11:06am clarke: i guess a lot. ha ha.
	11:06am The Oscar: Agreed completely. On a good day I might even drop "girl" from that statement.
	11:08am clarke: joe - you can do the voice of that kid in the film I Wanna Hold Your Hand!!
	11:08am scott: Were The Ramones the male Shangri-Las?
	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Court Room" by "Clarence Carter" The Sun Also Strokin'.
	👻 11:11am tim: My report cards used to say 'Makes Poor Choices'. I hope Mark doesn't call me out tonight!
	11:12am clarke: isn't todd going away this weekend?
	11:13am clarke: ↳ tim @11:11 handy's said "makes POUR choices"!
	👻 11:13am queems: ↳ Song: "Glad" by "Traffic" love this one
	11:13am Joe McG: The sax on this song is a nice blatty cousin of the sax on "Bazoom"!
	11:14am scott: Pre-Swampers Traffic.
	👻 11:14am tim: ↳ clarke @11:13 Sounds about right.
	11:14am clarke: also, handy wants to know why john barleycorn must die. asking for a friend.
	👻 11:14am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Glad" by "Traffic" A chance for Joe to get up, stretch, possibly hit the bathroom, catch up on emails, etc. 🙂
	👻 11:14am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Open Water" by "Fust" I hoping someday Joe opens his show with Fust (1st)
	11:15am The Oscar: ↳ tim @11:11 I had a teacher in high school whose go-to admonition was "YOU'RE DOING THE WRONG THING." I feel like Mark could easily adopt that one as well.
	11:15am Joe McG: ↳ DjLorraine @11:14 Ha ha!
	11:16am BillfromRockTavern: I'm betting Joe will let it flow right into Freedom Rider.
	11:16am Dean: Traffic sounding like War, vice versa.
	👻 11:17am tadpoles: ↳ tim @10:21 Just saw the ad....Stevie Winwood touring with the Doobie Brothers!
	11:17am Dean: Funny that the band with the hit "Low Rider" was not Traffic.
	11:17am scott: John Barleycorn and Peter Pumkinhead...
	11:18am Joe McG: ↳ tadpoles @11:17 Hot dog!
	11:22am clarke: saxophone day
	11:23am clarke: it's a whiskey scene - and handy seems to be missing it.
	11:23am ∫ydniuß: ↳ clarke @11:22 …and violins
	👻 11:23am tim: ↳ The Oscar @11:15 Ha!
	11:23am BillfromRockTavern: I actually saw this band open for Yes. Became a fan for life. Is this version from The BlueThumb LP?
	11:23am clarke: best of version
	👻 11:24am tim: ↳ tadpoles @11:17 Is Winwood that hard up that he'd have to tour with the Doobie Brothers? ;)
	11:24am clarke: not the fucking doobie bros, man.
	11:25am Joe McG: ↳ BillfromRockTavern @11:23 I didn't know there were different versions! I assumed this Best Of version is the same one on their first album. BTW, sorry to give you a hard time on trivia! :)
	11:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @11:24 Just listen to the music, Tim.
	👻 11:25am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 Hahahahaha!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:25 for some reason i think there was an edit on that best-of??
	11:26am Joe McG: ↳ clarke @11:26 No, it looks like the full 11:30.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:26 mkayyyy
	11:28am efd: ↳ clarke @11:26 Discogs appears to confirm: www.discogs.com...
	11:28am Crownless Gander: Thought that clave was signalling another mic break already!
	11:29am efd: ↳ efd @11:28 (that it’s the full version)
	11:29am clarke: ↳ efd @11:28 11:30 it is!!
	11:30am clarke: i do like that last section C)
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Fred Neil - TimBuckley's TimBuckley...
	11:40am clarke: tim hardin - fred neil's fred neil
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:38 ...I wonder how much / what their interaction was...
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:40 They credit TimHardin with blending the Folks with the Contempo things early on iirc... Fred & Tim got the Voices...
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:41 - Fred & TimB - Voices...
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& TimBuckley went off the leash into Jazzy & Avant what have you...
	11:44am clarke: there was a bill on a show on long island, mid to late 60's in which it was both tim buckley's and jackson browne's "first live gig" (other than parties an' such)
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Roll On Rosie" by "Fred Neil" This one maybe not displaying his resonant tones so much - but very much like a Buckley workout in vibe...
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:44 ...maybe Nico was there...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 he WAS dating her, at the time.
	11:47am clarke: i just found it interesting to find out that browne spent so much time on the east coast.
	11:48am clarke: and here's timmy on the west coast
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:47 - that's a point.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:47 Early enuff maybe even part of the Greenwich to Laurel migration, so to speak...
	11:49am scott: ...was expecting Brian Hyland to kick in, instead got Peter Green.
	11:50am clarke: there's this book that jackson browne tried to have recalled (or whatev), i found it at some library. a short tell-alll of his early years.
	11:51am ToHaJa: Shout out to "True Detective" for featuring Song to the Siren, Demo version last week.
	11:51am PMD: Joe this has been such an amazing set - so well crafted. Thank you. I want to keep it forever
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:49 well, yes, but browne was a teen when, say, The Byrds were in laurel. supposedly, jackson went up to david crosby and crosby handed him a guitar and browne blew his mind. at cass's house, i believe?
	👻 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:52am BillfromRockTavern: The first time I heard this on Happy Sad was in an Alexander's dept. store . I almost lost my mind . A total game changer.

	11:55am BillfromRockTavern: Thanks Joe, have a good week!
	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One writer put it that when tabulating the shortlist of 1960s Greats - TimBuckley was def one of the Four Horsemen. The one far fewer know about. Well ...that shortlist is pretty long. But one understands...
	👻 11:58am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Gypsy Woman" by "Tim Buckley" Wow. I can definitely hear his son in his voice.

	9:45am The Oscar: It just occurred to me the proper name of the genre in the last set should be "boo-hoo-wop."
	9:45am Joe McG: ↳ The Oscar @9:45 Ha ha!
	9:46am modern blaze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZ3pxgvfhY will be my theme song while i'm in NYC again

	9:46am Joe McG: ↳ Eugene R @9:44 I used to listen to it on Saturday afternoons. There were also good doo-wop shows on WRHU and the Adelphi station, too, whose call letters are escaping me at the moment.
	👻 9:47am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Doo Wop does the job.
	👻 9:48am tim: Hey Joe! Hello everyone!
	9:49am chresti: I used to hear doo-wop on late night XERB with Wolfman Jack, early 70s when I was a pre-teen

	9:51am modern blaze: where to listen doo-wop on radio these days? new york doo-wop prefered
	9:51am Joe McG: ↳ chresti @9:49 Wow, that's pretty optimal!
	9:51am chresti: Yes! Persuasions!
	👻 9:51am tim: ↳ chresti @9:49 Like ZZ Top, your heard it on The X!
	👻 9:52am nycmusicnerd: ↳ chresti @9:51 Have you seen there's a documentary about Jerry Lawson circulating on PBS?

	👻 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Rebranding opportunity for a nearby town Doo Woppingers Falls.
	👻 9:53am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 No sweat, buddy! Take your time. I was about to send you one with something I've been meaning to ask you about.
	9:53am judy from croton: Lovely Carl and Passions
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems interesting to me that in a lot of 'Rawk Histories' - DooWop is glossed over entirely. Yet the idea that it's such a Street phenomenon - image of neighborhood toughs around a lamp trying to sound sweet... Then the influence on this on the next phase of Vocal Groups into the 1960s. When I often think that Bands Singing Harmony has disappeared - tho I'm sure there are any number of Alt~Indy bands who do now... Everything in cycles maybe...
	9:53am modern blaze: ↳ Son Of Pantz @9:52 thanks!
	👻 9:54am Zip7: When my daughter was about seven, she used to growl her version of Little Anthony: "You don't remember me/But I remember you/'Twas not so long ago/You made me very mad"
	9:54am Joe McG: ↳ judy from croton @9:53 One of Dennis' finest moments, I think.
	9:54am judy from croton: I mean Beach Boys New to me
	9:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @9:53 I am here and have answers at the ready!
	9:54am chinn: ↳ Song: "Cuddle Up" by "The Beach Boys" I love this song, but I sometimes find it hard to listen to. Just really suffused with pain...
	9:55am chresti: Right! All night. The Mexican programming would wake me in the morning @tim
	9:56am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... Alice Cooper! We're not worthy!
	9:57am chresti: @tim, back then it was the soul xpress
	9:58am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... Kinda want this 'piano player' under my wheels
	👻 9:59am tim: ↳ chresti @9:57 That's so cool! That reminds me that I need to bust out my shortwave radio to see if I can pick up some magic from elsewhere.
	9:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice knew Syd from Floyd's first time in the USA.
	9:59am Joe McG: ↳ StringOFperils @9:58 Ha ha, I love his tinkles.
	👻 10:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Wish You Were Here" by "Alice Cooper, Dave Fowler... This works quite nicely. Alice knows when to go over the top as well as when to rein it in.
	👻 10:00am nycmusicnerd: A great place to look for radio magic is radio.garden . Not www.radio.garden, just radio.garden . You'll be taken to a map of the world with points of light on it. Each point is a radio station located in that part of the world. Click and listen.
	10:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cuddle Up" by "The Beach Boys" The album cover of So Tough is how we use to say - so tough. It's an illustration by Dave Willardson of a sedan with the inscription on the rear window. That was a real thing in L.A. when I was growing up. Low riders with song dedication in elegant scrip painted on the glass in white.
	10:00am modern blaze: ↳ judy from croton @9:54 are you kidding?) Beach Boys is one of the most influential groups there ever existed!
	10:01am clarke: actually, i dug wakeman's piano on dat.
	10:01am Blix: That WYWH cover goes into the "seemed like a good idea when we drew it up" file.
	👻 10:02am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:00 Whoa! Thanks, nyc! That is super cool!
	👻 10:04am nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim @10:02 Be warned: It's a MAJOR rabbit hole.
	10:06am Son Of Pantz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:04 If you're into old time radio shows (like me!) there are a coupe out of Illinois that showed up on my radio garden globe spin.
	👻 10:07am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:06 Cool, I'll have to check that out.
	10:07am Jim the Poet: I love Dando and Hatfield's voices together
	10:07am clarke: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:06 used to really hit that garden for a while, there.
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Looking for Space" by "Evan Dando" First time I ever went into anybody's Studio - back almost to HighSchool - we were basement jammers - then a girl from the school had a 12-String & did this JohnDenver number. I think I tried to play Bass along to it. On odd way to be familiar with it ...from another lifetime...
	10:08am clarke: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" might just be me, but are either hatfield/dando interested in WRITING NEW SONGS at all?? (or is it writer's block?)?
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: I remember buying this GP tribute. After a few plays I went back to the originals. Do tribute album work?
	👻 10:08am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:04 Haha! I can only imagine.
	10:08am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" My go-to 2AM Maxwell's jukebox song (the Gram version).
	10:08am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "$1,000 Wedding" by "Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield" Oh yeah, this cut! Awesome. The whole record is great.
	10:09am Joe non Papa: ↳ modern blaze @9:51 Modern Blaze - check out WFMU's own doo wop stream show that ran for more than a year, dj'd by medson: wfmu.org...
	10:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @10:08 All depends. Often they are perfunctory...
	10:09am judy from croton: Yikes; didn't mean I do not worship at The BB altar. Just don't know Cuddle Up
	10:10am StringOFperils: Evan Dando should be greater on the books than he is but I guess that's how he needs it to be...
	10:10am Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @10:08 Juliana confirmed in her stage banter last night and in her interview with Clay Pigeon that she's working on a new album of originals now. She's been alternating covers and originals albums lately. I was disappointed in the crowd not knowing all this from the Clay Pigeon interview. Come on, people!
	10:10am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:08 Great choice, Tim!
	10:11am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:10 well - to quote dando: it's about time!
	10:12am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:10 also dude, i haven't had time to archive that show, yet.
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:09 Ooooh like perfunctory & just the right word.
	10:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian in UK @10:12 Clock's ticking!
	10:13am clarke: it's about time.
	10:13am Tim 07030: Victoria Williams: subject of AND contributor to tribute albums. A rare combo!
	10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @10:12 ...'specially if it's a Funk tribute...
	10:17am clarke: phone's ringin' dude.
	10:18am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Rene" by "Spencer Cullum" This is a Mike Nesmith/Red Rhodes cover, right? ....I think......the floor of memory falls away....
	10:18am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:13 Name some others! Here are two: Lou Reed, Richard Thompson
	10:19am Joe McG: ↳ StringOFperils @10:18 It is!

	10:19am StringOFperils: ↳ Joe McG @10:19 Ah, thanks!
	10:20am Philip: Vic Chesnutt!!! Thx
	10:20am Tim 07030: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Is there a Matthew Sweet tribute? Because God knows he's on everybody else's!
	👻 10:21am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Add Nick Lowe to that list.
	👻 10:21am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Lou Reed's A Gift from Coney Island Baby was definitely a tribute to himself. ;)
	10:21am Joe McG: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:20 He and Juliana Hatfield need to have a cage match.
	10:22am Joe McG: ↳ tim @10:21 Ha!
	10:22am clarke: ↳ tim @10:21 and Lulu was a disservice to himself.
	10:22am Tim 07030: Alejandro Escovedo is on his own tribute album, which takes chutzpah.
	👻 10:23am tim: ↳ clarke @10:22 I still haven't heard Lulu. My contrary self thinks that I will probably like it because everyone hates it - hahaha!
	10:24am clarke: ↳ tim @10:23 stay ignorant and blissful!
	10:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Joe McG @10:18 Nick Cave
	10:24am clarke: and stay gold, timmy boy.
	10:27am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:18 So, I had this friend named Rene. She insisted I take her to my moms house to raid the mulberry tree and make a pie. After, she wanted to get high, so we came back here and I obliged her. Walking down the driveway holding her pie, she turned around and said "I got to get away from you."
	10:29am xtrakrispy: Prince. He appeared on the George Harrison tribute with that searing guitar solo to “Gently Weeps” and there are tons of tributes to him…
	10:30am Dean: Peter Gabriel appears on a Leonard Cohen tribute and is the subject of at least one tribute album.
	👻 10:30am nycmusicnerd: Paul McCartney. He appeared on the "Rave On" Buddy Holly tribute album, and I'm SURE there have been tribute albums to him at some point.
	10:31am Dean: Gabriel's also on a tribute to Princess Diana.
	👻 10:31am tim: It's hard to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys!
	10:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dean @10:30 Leonard Cohen tributes seem like a rich territory for this. That's what had me thinking of Nick Cave.
	10:32am The Oscar: Tom Waits appears on the Daniel Johnston tribute album, and I know there's been at least one tribute album to him. For that matter, Daniel has appeared on (at least) the Schoolhouse Rock and Rutles tributes!
	👻 10:32am nycmusicnerd: I picked up a Leonard Cohen tribute album at one of the WFMU CD sales just so I could hear Iggy Pop cover "You Want It Darker".
	10:34am Crownless Gander: Sloan were on a Joni Mitchell tribute album and there are at least a couple of tributes to them out there.
	10:34am Joe McG: These are great suggestions! I'll do a set sometime.
	10:34am clarke: Marshall Crenshaw??
	10:34am rob: Is this the most played song on FMU? Maybe Ken playing whole shows of the same song broke my brain
	10:35am Will: I hope someone performed "The Battle of Epping Forest" on the Peter Gabriel tribute album.
	👻 10:35am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @10:34 I know MC has appeared on tribute albums. If there's a tribute album to MC out there, I want to know about it! :)
	👻 10:35am tim: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:32 I think there's an Iggy tribute record too. I think it's called We Will Fall.
	10:35am Tim 07030: There was more to Charlie than handing out scarves!
	10:36am Dean: Another spin on the theme: celebrities who were subjects of a Friars Club roast, and who also appeared roasting another subject. Don Rickles!
	10:36am Creature Boy: There are dozens and dozens of cover versions of hvpta
	10:36am clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:35 yeah, i'm not sure about that part, but i have heard covers of his tunes.
	👻 10:37am tim: ↳ Dean @10:36 Hey you hockey puck!
	👻 10:37am nycmusicnerd: ↳ clarke @10:36 Ronnie Spector did an EP with some of his tunes on it. MC & Graham Maby played on it.
	10:37am clarke: clarence carter clarence carter clarence carter
	👻 10:37am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "The Court Room" by "Clarence Carter" Story song!
	👻 10:38am Karl: Feel like there's a twist a-comin'
	10:39am Joe McG: ↳ Karl @10:38 Quite a twist alright!
	10:39am Roberto: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 Was the reverend strokin'?
	👻 10:39am Karl: ↳ Joe McG @10:39 And now I'm sad
	10:39am StringOFperils: ↳ Roberto @10:39 A prison medley that finishes up with 'Strokin'
	10:39am clarke: is there a Joe Henry comp??
	👻 10:40am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Roberto @10:39 Sounds like the Rev didn't have nothin' to stroke!
	10:40am Franco Twinkie: Took one in the nards, did he?
	10:40am Joe McG: ↳ Roberto @10:39 Nope. It's kind of a Jake Barnes type situation.
	10:41am Roberto: Strokin't.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: All of this has reminded me that I'm not sure where my copy of I'm Your Fan, the Leonard Cohen tribute CD from the nineties, is. And this upsets me.
	10:42am Joe McG: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 It's under the bananas.
	10:43am clarke: since covers ain't my thing, i am not sure which comps are out there.
	👻 10:43am Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 There's a copy in every thrift store in Montreal, but there's a catch: it's hidden in the jacket pocket of a secondhand suit
	10:44am Son Of Pantz: I had Skyline chili over the weekend and now I have "Can Heat".
	10:45am Joe McG: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:44 Ouch!
	10:46am Barefoot Jimmy G: www.youtube.com...
	10:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @10:43 See, I knew there was a reason they keep the suits under the secondhand bananas!
	10:48am Roberto: ↳ Son Of Pantz @10:44 Don't shid your Pantz.
	10:48am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "Reap the Wild Wind" by "Ultravox" Yeah, baby. Although no matter what Ultravox song I hear I just want to bellow 'THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME!'
	10:49am BillfromRockTavern: The Midge Ure era yielded some really well done music videos.
	10:50am Jim the Poet: Bazoom
	10:50am Dean: I saw the John Fox iteration at The Whisky in Hollywood. Great show.
	10:51am Andres: ↳ Song: "Reap the Wild Wind" by "Ultravox" Good morning. Loving this! Totally missed it back in the day. After school video shows preferred nuclear apocalypse themed vids.
	10:51am Tim 07030: ↳ Song: "I Need Your Lovin' (Bazoom)" by "The Cheers" The B-side of 'Vienna'
	10:51am Joe McG: ↳ Jim the Poet @10:50 That's the spirit, Jim!
	10:52am clarke: ↳ Tim 07030 @10:51 ha ha ha, wow!

	👻 10:56am tim: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Has Sheila B heard this?!?!? Alan Parsons girl group style!!!
	10:56am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Wow, I forgot about this one! Real nice.
	10:57am Joe McG: ↳ tim @10:56 Sheila is the biggest Alan Parsons Project fan I ever met. She's on it!
	👻 10:57am DanielMac Listener 272753: Morning Everyone! Great song- I had this on cassette way back!
	10:57am clarke: yeah, this is cool.
	10:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" This was a pretty major component of my childhood soundtrack.
	10:58am clarke: ↳ DanielMac Listener 272753 @10:57 like a cassingle??
	👻 10:58am tim: ↳ Joe McG @10:57 Haha! I figured she had it on lock down!
	10:58am Andres: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" Heavy video play! It was a fave.
	10:59am clarke: hah, i've never heard this.
	10:59am clarke: but, dig the castanets!!
	11:00am Goyim in the AM: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" More Phil Spector tributes should have Zombies and King Crimbos on them.
	11:00am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Out in the Streets" by "The Shangi-Las" Aw-- maybe my favorite Shangri-Las song.
	👻 11:00am tim: ↳ Song: "Don't Answer Me" by "The Alan Parsons Project" This has the Jeff Lynne production style he used on the albums he produced 1987-1989. Roy Orbison, George Harrsion, Tom Petty, etc.
	11:00am Triple G: Hi Joe and all, I'll have to listen to the archives -- show looks like it's been based on the playlist
	11:01am clarke: ↳ The Oscar @11:00 and why NOT???
	11:02am clarke: RIP MW!!
	11:05am clarke: wow, how much footage is there??
	11:06am clarke: i guess a lot. ha ha.
	11:06am The Oscar: Agreed completely. On a good day I might even drop "girl" from that statement.
	11:08am clarke: joe - you can do the voice of that kid in the film I Wanna Hold Your Hand!!
	11:08am scott: Were The Ramones the male Shangri-Las?
	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Court Room" by "Clarence Carter" The Sun Also Strokin'.
	👻 11:11am tim: My report cards used to say 'Makes Poor Choices'. I hope Mark doesn't call me out tonight!
	11:12am clarke: isn't todd going away this weekend?
	11:13am clarke: ↳ tim @11:11 handy's said "makes POUR choices"!
	👻 11:13am queems: ↳ Song: "Glad" by "Traffic" love this one
	11:13am Joe McG: The sax on this song is a nice blatty cousin of the sax on "Bazoom"!
	11:14am scott: Pre-Swampers Traffic.
	👻 11:14am tim: ↳ clarke @11:13 Sounds about right.
	11:14am clarke: also, handy wants to know why john barleycorn must die. asking for a friend.
	👻 11:14am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Glad" by "Traffic" A chance for Joe to get up, stretch, possibly hit the bathroom, catch up on emails, etc. 🙂
	👻 11:14am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Open Water" by "Fust" I hoping someday Joe opens his show with Fust (1st)
	11:15am The Oscar: ↳ tim @11:11 I had a teacher in high school whose go-to admonition was "YOU'RE DOING THE WRONG THING." I feel like Mark could easily adopt that one as well.
	11:15am Joe McG: ↳ DjLorraine @11:14 Ha ha!
	11:16am BillfromRockTavern: I'm betting Joe will let it flow right into Freedom Rider.
	11:16am Dean: Traffic sounding like War, vice versa.
	👻 11:17am tadpoles: ↳ tim @10:21 Just saw the ad....Stevie Winwood touring with the Doobie Brothers!
	11:17am Dean: Funny that the band with the hit "Low Rider" was not Traffic.
	11:17am scott: John Barleycorn and Peter Pumkinhead...
	11:18am Joe McG: ↳ tadpoles @11:17 Hot dog!
	11:22am clarke: saxophone day
	11:23am clarke: it's a whiskey scene - and handy seems to be missing it.
	11:23am ∫ydniuß: ↳ clarke @11:22 …and violins
	👻 11:23am tim: ↳ The Oscar @11:15 Ha!
	11:23am BillfromRockTavern: I actually saw this band open for Yes. Became a fan for life. Is this version from The BlueThumb LP?
	11:23am clarke: best of version
	👻 11:24am tim: ↳ tadpoles @11:17 Is Winwood that hard up that he'd have to tour with the Doobie Brothers? ;)
	11:24am clarke: not the fucking doobie bros, man.
	11:25am Joe McG: ↳ BillfromRockTavern @11:23 I didn't know there were different versions! I assumed this Best Of version is the same one on their first album. BTW, sorry to give you a hard time on trivia! :)
	11:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @11:24 Just listen to the music, Tim.
	👻 11:25am tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 Hahahahaha!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:25 for some reason i think there was an edit on that best-of??
	11:26am Joe McG: ↳ clarke @11:26 No, it looks like the full 11:30.
	11:26am clarke: ↳ Joe McG @11:26 mkayyyy
	11:28am efd: ↳ clarke @11:26 Discogs appears to confirm: www.discogs.com...
	11:28am Crownless Gander: Thought that clave was signalling another mic break already!

	11:40am clarke: tim hardin - fred neil's fred neil
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:38 ...I wonder how much / what their interaction was...
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:40 They credit TimHardin with blending the Folks with the Contempo things early on iirc... Fred & Tim got the Voices...
	11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:41 - Fred & TimB - Voices...
	11:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& TimBuckley went off the leash into Jazzy & Avant what have you...
	11:44am clarke: there was a bill on a show on long island, mid to late 60's in which it was both tim buckley's and jackson browne's "first live gig" (other than parties an' such)
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Roll On Rosie" by "Fred Neil" This one maybe not displaying his resonant tones so much - but very much like a Buckley workout in vibe...
	11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:44 ...maybe Nico was there...
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:45 he WAS dating her, at the time.
	11:47am clarke: i just found it interesting to find out that browne spent so much time on the east coast.
	11:48am clarke: and here's timmy on the west coast
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:47 - that's a point.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ clarke @11:47 Early enuff maybe even part of the Greenwich to Laurel migration, so to speak...
	11:49am scott: ...was expecting Brian Hyland to kick in, instead got Peter Green.
	11:50am clarke: there's this book that jackson browne tried to have recalled (or whatev), i found it at some library. a short tell-alll of his early years.
	11:51am ToHaJa: Shout out to "True Detective" for featuring Song to the Siren, Demo version last week.
	11:51am PMD: Joe this has been such an amazing set - so well crafted. Thank you. I want to keep it forever
	11:52am clarke: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:49 well, yes, but browne was a teen when, say, The Byrds were in laurel. supposedly, jackson went up to david crosby and crosby handed him a guitar and browne blew his mind. at cass's house, i believe?
	👻 11:52am 12539: Thanks, Joe!

	11:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One writer put it that when tabulating the shortlist of 1960s Greats - TimBuckley was def one of the Four Horsemen. The one far fewer know about. Well ...that shortlist is pretty long. But one understands...
	👻 11:58am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Gypsy Woman" by "Tim Buckley" Wow. I can definitely hear his son in his voice.
