	👻 8:04pm DanFA: Howdy Becky. Taking a break from my DNC watch to listen to this fine radio program.
	👻 8:04pm Deano de los Muertos: Howdy y’alll
	8:05pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, Becky and Tonkies.
	8:05pm Audiocarp: Praise the lord! I saw the light of the silvery moon
	8:05pm Becky: ↳ DanFA @8:04 I know, I've got tough competition tonight.
	👻 8:05pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "I Saw The Light" by "Hank Williams" one of my favs
	8:05pm DonJuanTijuana: So scratchy I gotta itch, but I like it
	8:06pm Becky: A little annoyed the walk-up music for the NJ delegates was Born in the USA and not my theme song.
	8:07pm Audiocarp: ↳ DonJuanTijuana @8:05 Okay it in mono, gets rid of a lot of crackle
	8:08pm Audiocarp: ↳ Becky @8:06 I stopped watching the conventions years ago. Absolute torture!
	👻 8:08pm DanFA: ↳ Becky @8:06 I think it's Jersey law that Bruce needs to be played in any political context.
	👻 8:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Becky @8:06 That whole song seems to me that it's one long introductorion.
	8:09pm Saltonstall: Stompin Ton? Hank Snow? Blind Boy Freddy McKenna?
	8:09pm Becky: ↳ DanFA @8:08 Oh absolutely. Maybe not that one though.
	8:09pm Audiocarp: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:08 Does that song have any lyrics? Just seems to be endless choruses
	8:11pm Saltonstall: Wilf Carter? Lucky Pierre? Anne Murray? Gordon Lightfoot? Tommy Hunter? I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the CanCon.
	8:12pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Tightest band units: Meshuggah, Count Basie Orchestra, Texas Playboys, etc.
	👻 8:12pm DanFA: ↳ Becky @8:09 Tennessee did get Dolly as the intro music naturally.
	👻 8:13pm DanFA: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @8:12 That is a fantasy concert I would love to go to.
	8:13pm Becky: ↳ Saltonstall @8:11 Might need to play two tracks from the LP to hit one of your suggestions.
	👻 8:14pm brycepunk1: Becky! Everyone! So good to hear you all again. Cheers!
	8:14pm Saltonstall: The first time I heard Honky Tonk Badonkadonk was in Nova Scotia. I thought “wow, these Canadian country acts sure are bawdy”
	8:14pm The Butterman: ↳ Song: "All Night Long" by "Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys" So good! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
	8:14pm Audiocarp: ↳ DanFA @8:12 What did they play for the NY delegation?
	👻 8:15pm DanFA: ↳ Audiocarp @8:14 Empire State of Mind- Jay Z and Alicia Keys. Spike Lee was among the delegates, which was fun to see.
	8:16pm Audiocarp: This record is goofy! The Cables?
	8:16pm Count d'Al Dente: Greetin's all!
	👻 8:16pm DanFA: All songs played at DNC during roll call, if anyone is interested www.rollingstone.com...
	8:17pm Audiocarp: I think I am blissfully ignorant of jays?
	8:18pm Audiocarp: ↳ DanFA @8:15 Spike Lee?!
	8:18pm ultradamno: RFK jr is dropping out and endorsing Trump, so that wraps up the dead brainworm vote
	👻 8:18pm DanFA: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @8:12 Can we also add Parliament/Funkadelic?
	👻 8:19pm DanFA: ↳ Audiocarp @8:18 Yes
	8:21pm Audiocarp: ↳ ultradamno @8:18 I wonder who is more desperate for attention?
	👻 8:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ DanFA @8:16 I'd like to also see a list of the cease and desist orders from the one other party. They keep playing songs without authorization of the artists.
	8:22pm Saltonstall: Thanks Becky!
	👻 8:22pm DanFA: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:21 File the FOIA request.
	8:23pm tranewreck: Sam McGee - wasn’t he cremated?
	8:23pm Audiocarp: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:21 I bet they’re not paying royalties either
	8:23pm ultradamno: ↳ Audiocarp @8:21 Literally within a week of him getting nowhere in trying to get a spot on a potential Harris cabinet
	8:23pm Joe B: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:21 www.rollingstone.com...
	8:23pm Saltonstall: Stompin Tom Connors- the Woody Guthrie/Johnny Cash of Canada retired from music during the late 70s/early 80s in protest of L.A. -based Burton Cummings winning a Juno Award. Thats more hardcore than DOA
	8:26pm Becky: ↳ Saltonstall @8:23 national treasure for the hockey song alone
	8:26pm Audiocarp: ↳ ultradamno @8:23 How could he even think he had a chance to be in the Harris administration?
	👻 8:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Joe B @8:23 Aha ... there we go. Thanks!
	👻 8:27pm DanFA: Becky, all this week I've had Flowers On the Wall playing in my head, even when I was cooking pasta. Just wanted to let you know.
	8:27pm Saltonstall: Toronto crust punks Ulcer do a great version of Gary Lee’s The Rodeo Song on their split with Dirty Bird. Thats doubly Canadian.
	8:29pm ultradamno: ↳ Audiocarp @8:26 Every now and then there was this talk of him peeling more from Harris than Trump, I guess just because of his name even though his whole appeal was to science skeptics/anti-vaxxers....
	8:29pm Audiocarp: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:21 It would be nicer if they had a live house band at these conventions
	8:30pm Count d'Al Dente: RFK wanting a spot on the Harris cabinet was the worm talking. He would be perfect for the Don but I suspect he's also not wanted there.
	8:30pm Saltonstall: Stompin Tom has TWO songs about potatoes. Back in the day a hippy friend of mine said he was going to pick tobacco in Ontario for a summer job. I played him Tilsonburg by Stompin Tom, and he was like “well f that” so he stayed in Flint and mowed lawns instead.
	8:31pm Becky: ↳ Saltonstall @8:30 annoder big loada podaydoes
	8:31pm Billybob: ↳ Audiocarp @8:26 Why would he even want to be in that party? I know, I know---family legacy.
	8:33pm Becky: ↳ Becky @8:31 I once played piano in a Stompin' Tom tribute band that played for one night on Canada Day.
	8:33pm Saltonstall: @Becky- haha yes.! Ketchup loves potatoes!
	8:34pm Audiocarp: ↳ ultradamno @8:29 The funny thing about the Kennedy clan is that they were conservative on many issues, except for teddy. But people ignored it, because they were popular.
	👻 8:35pm Destroit: Hey hey everyone! Stepped right into Canadian taters!
	8:36pm Saltonstall: Whitehorse! I wonder if there are any Canadian country songs that mention Moose Jaw… or Medicine Hat… or Yellowknife
	8:37pm Saltonstall: Stompin Tom records are a geography lesson.
	8:38pm downtownJJ: excellent show
	8:39pm Becky: ↳ Saltonstall @8:36 The Sam McGee LP also includes songs about Thunderbay, Blueberry B.C. and Yellowknife.
	8:39pm Audiocarp: That record by The Cables was something else
	8:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Cincinnati Fireball" by "Johnny Burnette" Is this is a classic, with many different versions? I feel like I've heard it before by someone else, but I might be making that up.
	👻 8:45pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ ultradamno @8:18 Was fun while it lasted 🪱
	8:46pm Becky: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @8:43 Weirdly, I think Rusty York, who I played right after, covered it.
	👻 8:47pm Deano de los Muertos: Another fine show nearly in the books, thanks Becky
	8:48pm Becky: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @8:47 Thanks Deano! Rusty Wellington's delivery on this record reminds me of the other Deano!
	8:54pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Sounds like a great Canadian haul to me. Thanks, Becky!
	👻 8:55pm Handy Haversack: Been listening while making vacation dinner up here in Maine -- relatively close to Canada! Many thanks, Becky!
	👻 8:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:55 Fresh potatoes! (Or possibly fresh little potitos!) 🥔
	👻 8:57pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:55 Did you run into Stephen King?
	👻 8:57pm PigeonsAndRust: Thank you, Becky.
	8:58pm Joe B: thanks Becky, great show!
	9:00pm greg g: Thank you Honky Tonk Radio Girl!! A wonderful show indeed! Take care everyone.
	👻 9:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Becky!
	👻 9:00pm DanFA: Loving this bed music. Surf music meets Morricone.
