	11:06am BigJay: The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May. - Edwin Way Teale
	11:14am drr: once again, I walk in the room to hear I have just missed Bo Diddley.
	11:19am rj: Sad to hear that ddr
	11:32am SmokinJ: Now the party's startin' to swing!
	11:36am drr: thanks rj, I'll be all right. It's too pretty out anyway, i'll probably catch this show later from the lightless prison where I toil each weekday.
	11:55am seang: Memphis Creep!
	11:57am SmokinJ: No shit..
	12:13pm SmokinJ: Soooo sweet...
	12:14pm drr: a great live music memory: seeing Blue Oyster Clut at a fair and seeing Clarence Carter directly after.
	12:14pm drr: Blue Öyster CULT
	12:15pm SmokinJ: Well drr, you saw them in the proper order..
	12:19pm paul: I think this green background just blew out my monitor and my retina.
	12:19pm drr: I think I had a bloomin' onion or fried pickles in the middle. Both shows were amazing. BOC encored with "Dominance and Submission." How do you top that? With a pavilion full of people line dancing to "Strokin'", that's how.
	12:20pm drr: btw, that Shelby Lynne song was great. Very surprised.
	12:22pm SmokinJ: drr: While never a BOC 'freak' I recently heard the remastered version of their blockbuster LP. AMAZING stuff. Recording tech tricks that boggle the mind even today. Worth a listen.. :)
	12:25pm paul: Shelby Lynne did a great cover of Lennon's "Mother."
	12:25pm paul: Or was that Lucinda Williams?
	12:31pm SmokinJ: That's a great track!
	12:35pm paul: Very country-fied show today.
	12:36pm naaaaa: Same % of country as always - count them
	12:41pm paul: Too lazy. What's the average ratio of country to non-country?
	12:45pm paul: Sorry to hear about Floyd. RIP
