	9:10am Joe McG: Rick, you are about to be served.
	9:11am Rick from SC: Good deal!
	9:12am Mike East: Aries, reporting
	9:12am PKNY: Can we do it old-school hip-hop style, since the "Scorpio" drum break is rocking right now? "I'm PKNY, my word is born, and my zodiac sign is Capricorn!"
	9:13am common: mornin...from a taurus
	9:13am Joe McG: @PKNY: Nice! Auditioning for the Floaters, I see.
	9:13am Cheri Pi: Wooohoo! I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat then.
	9:14am PKNY: I'm about to start uprocking in my office!
	9:14am DCE: funky...I watched "Switchblade Sisters" last night, so this is seamless
	9:16am Joe McG: @DCE: I haven't seen it! Should I?
	9:17am PKNY: If the theme is going to be breakbeats and Zodiac signs, I'm gonna be a happy guy this morning.
	9:17am Ralphine: Good luck finding a song for Ophiuchus.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Ha! Don't think I didn't think about it!
	9:18am DCE: oh yes, definitely, Joe! a stone-cold classic.
	9:18am PKNY: Holy crap, funky Feliciano! Sounds like they were hanging out and listening to Funkadelic records!
	9:19am Sem Chumbo: Half way there for the Leo-Virgo cusp.
	9:25am fleep: What a stellar beginning.
	9:25am Cheri Pi: AWESOME!!!
	9:25am Michele: Joe I'm here!!!! You're the best, so happy to finally be able to hear the show live!
	9:26am Ralphine: I think of "Old Turkey Buzzard" when I think of Jose Feliciano.
	9:28am Glenn m: the woman next to me just threatened to cut the guy next her's throat for typing to loud...
	9:28am KP: Joe, you & me & JC!
	9:28am Meghan: That new zodiac sign is NOT a sign. I refuse to accept it. Messing up a good thing. Though it did not change my sign, Aquarius, but it's still silly.....
	9:30am fleep: @Glenn m Suggest switching to decaf.
	9:33am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! So nice to see you on my playlist! @Meghan: I don't know much about it! @fleep: Thanks, fleep!
	9:33am Glenn m: tensions run high in this old maitenance closet that they call an office
	9:34am Matt from Springfield: Aries here! Great set Joe! But, that's only six signs! You're on the hook to play the other six sometime!
	👻 9:35am tim from champaign: Is this the same "Earthquake Shake" Skunks?
	9:36am Joe McG: @tim: You got it, same dudes.
	👻 9:42am tim from champaign: Do you have any Dwight Twilley on you, Joe?
	9:43am Joe McG: @tim: Funny you should say that! I was going to bring some, but I played him a couple of weeks ago on Single File, so....
	👻 9:45am tim from champaign: Good deal, Joe! I saw Dwight Twilley about a month ago and have had Twilley on the brain since.
	👻 9:51am tim from champaign: Great set by the way, Joe. I joined in during the Spies.
	9:51am Ralphine: I just read this interesting tidbit in the NY Times' obituary for Slim Whitman: "Paul McCartney said Mr. Whitman gave him the idea of playing the guitar left-handed."
	9:51am mrmucho: Hey Joe, congrats on the call-up. Glad to be listening live.
	9:52am Joe McG: Thanks, tim. Sometimes you have to scratch that power pop itch.
	9:54am Matt from Springfield: Have to go to a really lame-o meeting, but will enthusiastically catch up with Single File and the rest of the show later!
	9:55am Joe McG: @Matt: Hey, Matt! Sorry to lose you to that icky work stuff.
	9:55am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Slim Whitman died? Oh, man!
	9:55am Matt from Springfield: Not lost Joe--only borrowed! :)
	10:02am common: i like "how are you seeing". can i steal that?
	10:03am Stevel: Cancer is my sign. Crabby is my way.
	10:04am dc pat: huh, apparently I like that Edith Nylon tune...
	10:08am Joe McG: @common: Of course! But the bigger question is what am I seeing! @Stevel: Crab!
	10:09am Cecile: The only XTC album I really like. Thanks to Todd.
	10:10am Cecile: I seem to both amuse and perplex people of the Cancer sign.
	10:12am Joe McG: @Cecile: The first two XTC albums make me nervous.
	10:13am doca: yes, i feel like i'm betraying myself for liking this xtc song.
	10:13am dc pat: Go 2 and Drums and Wires are tops for me.
	10:14am Rick from SC: XTC still rocks in my book
	👻 10:15am tim from champaign: I got this record when it came out. In retrospect, I think this might be one of the first non Top 40, pure pop records I got into.
	10:15am Cecile: I can take them, they just don't move me. When they went pop, there was always something about Patridge's songs that put me off. I'm told the handful of songs I like by them are all written by Colin Moulding. Good to know.
	10:16am Joe McG: This next tune goes out to Rich Hazelton.
	10:16am Dr. Goot: English Settlement is beautiful
	10:16am Cheri Pi: Sweet.
	10:18am Cecile: I should revisit them. Thanks to Sgt Pepper's being overplayed and bad radio, I had an allergy to a lot of "classic" Britishness that didn't dissipate until I started doing college radio.
	10:18am PKNY: I have the "Mizrab" LP, but I don't remember Gabor's version of "Summer Breeze" was this dope. I'll have to dig that out when I get home. BTW, there's a track called "Thirteen" on this record that is that heat.
	👻 10:18am tim from champaign: Death #3 happened. Kim Thompson of Fantagraphics passed on yesterday.
	10:19am mrmucho: Long live CTI
	10:19am joe: 'ello folks finally got here where should I put my stuff?
	10:20am Cecile: oh no. that sucks tim.
	10:20am joe: I'm a Cancer and yes that is my sign
	10:20am Joe McG: @joe: Anywhere you can find room, my friend.
	👻 10:23am tim from champaign: The early 90s Fantagraphics roster really changed my perspective of art and writing. In recent years, I got back into reading comics because the local library carries just about every graphic novel that comes out.
	10:31am lauren: Joe!! what the heck are you doing on at this hour?
	10:31am lauren: also are you oging to the listener meet up tonight? I may drag my butt to nj after work
	10:33am fleep: Let the random joy begin!
	10:34am Joe McG: @lauren: Hey, Lauren! Crazy, huh? Yes, I will see there if you are a-goin'.
	10:34am PKNY: I think this is the Shirley Ellis track that Steinski heard Bambaataa spinning out back in the day, and having his mind blown.
	10:34am KevinfromBayRidge: A mid-show hello , Joe & all. Taurus reporting heah! But it's all bull ( bad rim-shot!). Great Suzanne Vega show in Mad Sq Park last night...but nothin' compared to our present Surface Noise.
	10:36am Cecile: this was what we grew up on as kids, not Radio Disney. All those weird little nursery rhymes.
	10:36am joe: @ Tim totally with you tim. I had been involved in the "comics world" for years but there were many artists I did not get into until older and Fantagraphics made it so easy. About two or three years ago I finally found myself appreciating Crumbs work and those Complete Crumb books have been indispensable to me.
	10:38am Parq: Hi Joe, and friends. Really reaching into our collective back pages with SF this week, eh?
	10:39am Cecile: this is pretty great. sounds like Eddie Money on vocs.
	10:40am Joe McG: @Parq: Always! @Cecile: I wish!
	10:40am Cecile: Fantagraphics were so broad in their taste in reissues, weirdos like Fletcher Hanks, oldies like Prince Valiant and Peanuts and of couse Love and Rockets.
	10:41am mrmucho: Rare Bo Diddley beat + pedal steel combo.
	👻 10:42am tim from champaign: I was a super late bloomer to Love & Rockets. Now it's one of my favorites.
	10:43am KevinfromBayRidge: GoodGolly! Haven't heard this since I was in my in my mid-teens. George's baby of course.
	10:44am maestroso: I remember hearing this on FMU back in the 70's.
	10:44am KevinfromBayRidge: Yes youngens, Commercial Radio used to play this!
	10:47am common: such a good strange mccartney song.
	10:47am Rick from SC: Saw him on a recent Colbert last night. Still looks young
	10:47am Joe McG: @Rick: He's got the best hairdyer in the biz!
	10:48am Dr. Goot: The video for "Coming Up" is fun too.
	10:48am fleep: Is that Linda chiming in?
	10:49am will: Is this Paul re-imagining Prince as played by Talking Heads??
	10:49am Ralphine: If I remember the video for Coming Up rightly, McCartney played all the instruments and was made up to look like Ron Mael on the keyboards.
	10:50am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	10:51am Ralphine: I think Ringo's hairdyer does a better job than McCartney's.
	10:51am Joe McG: Wow, a lot crud on this record. Pop city! I oughta clean it.
	10:53am Joe McG: Just pretend the pops are part of the tribal percussion vibe.
	10:54am Cecile: hahah, that video is fun. And it probably cost a fortune to make back then...
	10:56am Parq: Actually, I did think the pops were part of the effect. Still working on my first coffee. Looking forward to hearing the story behind that 45, by the way.
	10:57am fleep: Ah, the spoils of creativity: I just got a residual check for 59 cents. Before taxes. Net 31 cents.
	10:57am Cecile: ...and make it look that good.
	10:57am Cecile: fleep, what for if you don't mind me askin?
	10:58am northguineahills: Fleep, reminds of a Seinfeld episode....
	10:59am ?: you've stopped streaming
	11:00am fleep: Cecile, the script for one episode of an 80s TV show called "Paper Dolls" that ran somewhere in Europe.
	👻 11:00am 12539: Stream is fine here...
	11:01am Cecile: wow! I remember that show, although I never saw it. nice.
	11:02am KP: Great songwriter song!
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & Co. Midnight Mushrumps.
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: B J Cole on pedal steel guitar.
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Cochise cover does not work on CD.
	11:12am frenchee: Speaking of 71-y-os, today is Brian Wilson's birthday~ He's a Gemini.
	11:18am Carmichael: Morning Joe, and Hola everyone.
	11:18am Joe McG: @frenchee: Somehow that makes perfect sense!
	11:18am osvi: Whaaaaaat? Joe McGasko to see me off to work? That is what I am talking about!
	11:19am Joe McG: Hey, osvi! What do you know, I'm waking up with the birdies!
	11:20am northguineahills: Trees!
	11:20am Mike East: late commenting this, but that Spies track earlier really spoke to me as a fan of the radio. I suspect a lot of others here as well.
	11:21am Carmichael: Oh, I'm a Leo, by the way.
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: I like this Trees track.
	11:22am Joe McG: Hey, Carm, we didn't get your sign earlier, but we'll try again another time. @ME: Glad you dug the Spies. I love songs about loving radio.
	11:23am frenchee: CAPRICORNS WILL STEAL THE HEAD OFFA NICKEL
	11:23am joe: this is one of those songs where the guitar sneaks up on ya.
	11:24am mrmucho: Great drum sound on this track
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Happy Birthday Carmichael. I have the same BD as Stewart Copeland or vice versa. Who's he? Next up? Lindisfarne?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: I forgot my Jack the Lad record. I was going to play that today!
	11:25am Carmichael: @Brian: yeah, Meet Me on the Corner. I have the same birthday as Mark Knopfler. And George Hamilton.
	11:25am fleep: Speed version better. Go back.
	11:26am KevinfromBayRidge: Thought that was Amy Allison!
	11:26am Joe McG: @frenchee: And I will, too. Heart first, though; then, head.
	11:26am Joe McG: @fleep: Ha ha! @kevin: Ha ha ha!
	11:26am Carmichael: That Trees track sounded like Fairport Convention, the Sandy Denny version.
	11:26am dc pat: mrs. dc pat shares a birthday with Ringo...that's all I have to report.
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign: New Yo La Tengo?
	11:27am Chris M.: just woke up, hear this song, ready to "sleep" forever.
	11:28am northguineahills: wait, wait, wait, it's Carmichael's bday? Hurrazah, and congratulations surviving for one more lap on this rock around the day star!
	11:28am Joe McG: Hey, Chris! Don't I usually put you to sleep? @Carmichael: Happy birthday, sir!
	11:29am Cheri Pi: Carms! have a fantazztical Birthday Today!
	11:29am Carmichael: No no, my birthday is in August (Leo). Brian got confused. You can verify that with Mark Knopfler.
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Carmichael I meant same day, same year. Hell who cares. Alan Hull was a wonderful song writer.
	11:30am KP: Trees? Beautious.
	11:30am PKNY: One of my favorite NY songs, good call!
	11:30am Cheri Pi: HBD in advance then.
	11:31am Carmichael: But thanks anyway, all. It's good to count heads, for those times when trouble comes.
	11:31am joe: Oh good I'm not the only one who got the Neil Young vibe out of that.
	11:31am Mike East: Hey, Happy Nonbirthday, Carmichael! That goes for everyone else, too!
	11:32am Chris M.: Joe: your show never made me sleeZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Sorry Carmichael, wooden spoon effect. Your un-round. I'll have a beer. Thanks. Happy un-Birthday
	11:33am Mike East: my copy of this record has a big scratch in the middle of Cinnamon Girl

	9:08am Joe McG: Have I got one for YOU, Cheri!
	9:08am Rick from SC: Scorpio says good morning
	9:09am DCE: morning, Joe
	9:10am Joe McG: Rick, you are about to be served.
	9:11am Rick from SC: Good deal!
	9:12am Mike East: Aries, reporting
	9:12am PKNY: Can we do it old-school hip-hop style, since the "Scorpio" drum break is rocking right now? "I'm PKNY, my word is born, and my zodiac sign is Capricorn!"
	9:13am common: mornin...from a taurus
	9:13am Joe McG: @PKNY: Nice! Auditioning for the Floaters, I see.
	9:13am Cheri Pi: Wooohoo! I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat then.
	9:14am PKNY: I'm about to start uprocking in my office!
	9:14am DCE: funky...I watched "Switchblade Sisters" last night, so this is seamless
	9:16am Joe McG: @DCE: I haven't seen it! Should I?
	9:17am PKNY: If the theme is going to be breakbeats and Zodiac signs, I'm gonna be a happy guy this morning.
	9:17am Ralphine: Good luck finding a song for Ophiuchus.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Ha! Don't think I didn't think about it!
	9:18am DCE: oh yes, definitely, Joe! a stone-cold classic.
	9:18am PKNY: Holy crap, funky Feliciano! Sounds like they were hanging out and listening to Funkadelic records!
	9:19am Sem Chumbo: Half way there for the Leo-Virgo cusp.
	9:25am fleep: What a stellar beginning.
	9:25am Cheri Pi: AWESOME!!!
	9:25am Michele: Joe I'm here!!!! You're the best, so happy to finally be able to hear the show live!
	9:26am Ralphine: I think of "Old Turkey Buzzard" when I think of Jose Feliciano.
	9:28am Glenn m: the woman next to me just threatened to cut the guy next her's throat for typing to loud...
	9:28am KP: Joe, you & me & JC!
	9:28am Meghan: That new zodiac sign is NOT a sign. I refuse to accept it. Messing up a good thing. Though it did not change my sign, Aquarius, but it's still silly.....
	9:30am fleep: @Glenn m Suggest switching to decaf.
	9:33am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! So nice to see you on my playlist! @Meghan: I don't know much about it! @fleep: Thanks, fleep!
	9:33am Glenn m: tensions run high in this old maitenance closet that they call an office
	9:34am Matt from Springfield: Aries here! Great set Joe! But, that's only six signs! You're on the hook to play the other six sometime!
	👻 9:35am tim from champaign: Is this the same "Earthquake Shake" Skunks?
	9:36am Joe McG: @tim: You got it, same dudes.
	👻 9:42am tim from champaign: Do you have any Dwight Twilley on you, Joe?
	9:43am Joe McG: @tim: Funny you should say that! I was going to bring some, but I played him a couple of weeks ago on Single File, so....
	👻 9:45am tim from champaign: Good deal, Joe! I saw Dwight Twilley about a month ago and have had Twilley on the brain since.
	👻 9:51am tim from champaign: Great set by the way, Joe. I joined in during the Spies.
	9:51am Ralphine: I just read this interesting tidbit in the NY Times' obituary for Slim Whitman: "Paul McCartney said Mr. Whitman gave him the idea of playing the guitar left-handed."
	9:51am mrmucho: Hey Joe, congrats on the call-up. Glad to be listening live.
	9:52am Joe McG: Thanks, tim. Sometimes you have to scratch that power pop itch.
	9:54am Matt from Springfield: Have to go to a really lame-o meeting, but will enthusiastically catch up with Single File and the rest of the show later!
	9:55am Joe McG: @Matt: Hey, Matt! Sorry to lose you to that icky work stuff.
	9:55am Joe McG: @Ralphine: Slim Whitman died? Oh, man!
	9:55am Matt from Springfield: Not lost Joe--only borrowed! :)
	10:02am common: i like "how are you seeing". can i steal that?
	10:03am Stevel: Cancer is my sign. Crabby is my way.
	10:04am dc pat: huh, apparently I like that Edith Nylon tune...
	10:08am Joe McG: @common: Of course! But the bigger question is what am I seeing! @Stevel: Crab!
	10:09am Cecile: The only XTC album I really like. Thanks to Todd.
	10:10am Cecile: I seem to both amuse and perplex people of the Cancer sign.
	10:12am Joe McG: @Cecile: The first two XTC albums make me nervous.
	10:13am doca: yes, i feel like i'm betraying myself for liking this xtc song.
	10:13am dc pat: Go 2 and Drums and Wires are tops for me.
	10:14am Rick from SC: XTC still rocks in my book
	👻 10:15am tim from champaign: I got this record when it came out. In retrospect, I think this might be one of the first non Top 40, pure pop records I got into.
	10:15am Cecile: I can take them, they just don't move me. When they went pop, there was always something about Patridge's songs that put me off. I'm told the handful of songs I like by them are all written by Colin Moulding. Good to know.
	10:16am Joe McG: This next tune goes out to Rich Hazelton.
	10:16am Dr. Goot: English Settlement is beautiful
	10:16am Cheri Pi: Sweet.
	10:18am Cecile: I should revisit them. Thanks to Sgt Pepper's being overplayed and bad radio, I had an allergy to a lot of "classic" Britishness that didn't dissipate until I started doing college radio.
	10:18am PKNY: I have the "Mizrab" LP, but I don't remember Gabor's version of "Summer Breeze" was this dope. I'll have to dig that out when I get home. BTW, there's a track called "Thirteen" on this record that is that heat.
	👻 10:18am tim from champaign: Death #3 happened. Kim Thompson of Fantagraphics passed on yesterday.
	10:19am mrmucho: Long live CTI
	10:19am joe: 'ello folks finally got here where should I put my stuff?
	10:20am Cecile: oh no. that sucks tim.
	10:20am joe: I'm a Cancer and yes that is my sign
	10:20am Joe McG: @joe: Anywhere you can find room, my friend.
	👻 10:23am tim from champaign: The early 90s Fantagraphics roster really changed my perspective of art and writing. In recent years, I got back into reading comics because the local library carries just about every graphic novel that comes out.
	10:31am lauren: Joe!! what the heck are you doing on at this hour?
	10:31am lauren: also are you oging to the listener meet up tonight? I may drag my butt to nj after work
	10:33am fleep: Let the random joy begin!
	10:34am Joe McG: @lauren: Hey, Lauren! Crazy, huh? Yes, I will see there if you are a-goin'.
	10:34am PKNY: I think this is the Shirley Ellis track that Steinski heard Bambaataa spinning out back in the day, and having his mind blown.
	10:34am KevinfromBayRidge: A mid-show hello , Joe & all. Taurus reporting heah! But it's all bull ( bad rim-shot!). Great Suzanne Vega show in Mad Sq Park last night...but nothin' compared to our present Surface Noise.
	10:36am Cecile: this was what we grew up on as kids, not Radio Disney. All those weird little nursery rhymes.
	10:36am joe: @ Tim totally with you tim. I had been involved in the "comics world" for years but there were many artists I did not get into until older and Fantagraphics made it so easy. About two or three years ago I finally found myself appreciating Crumbs work and those Complete Crumb books have been indispensable to me.
	10:38am Parq: Hi Joe, and friends. Really reaching into our collective back pages with SF this week, eh?
	10:39am Cecile: this is pretty great. sounds like Eddie Money on vocs.
	10:40am Joe McG: @Parq: Always! @Cecile: I wish!
	10:40am Cecile: Fantagraphics were so broad in their taste in reissues, weirdos like Fletcher Hanks, oldies like Prince Valiant and Peanuts and of couse Love and Rockets.
	10:41am mrmucho: Rare Bo Diddley beat + pedal steel combo.
	👻 10:42am tim from champaign: I was a super late bloomer to Love & Rockets. Now it's one of my favorites.
	10:43am KevinfromBayRidge: GoodGolly! Haven't heard this since I was in my in my mid-teens. George's baby of course.
	10:44am maestroso: I remember hearing this on FMU back in the 70's.
	10:44am KevinfromBayRidge: Yes youngens, Commercial Radio used to play this!
	10:47am common: such a good strange mccartney song.
	10:47am Rick from SC: Saw him on a recent Colbert last night. Still looks young
	10:47am Joe McG: @Rick: He's got the best hairdyer in the biz!
	10:48am Dr. Goot: The video for "Coming Up" is fun too.
	10:48am fleep: Is that Linda chiming in?
	10:49am will: Is this Paul re-imagining Prince as played by Talking Heads??
	10:49am Ralphine: If I remember the video for Coming Up rightly, McCartney played all the instruments and was made up to look like Ron Mael on the keyboards.
	10:50am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	10:51am Ralphine: I think Ringo's hairdyer does a better job than McCartney's.
	10:51am Joe McG: Wow, a lot crud on this record. Pop city! I oughta clean it.
	10:53am Joe McG: Just pretend the pops are part of the tribal percussion vibe.
	10:54am Cecile: hahah, that video is fun. And it probably cost a fortune to make back then...
	10:56am Parq: Actually, I did think the pops were part of the effect. Still working on my first coffee. Looking forward to hearing the story behind that 45, by the way.
	10:57am fleep: Ah, the spoils of creativity: I just got a residual check for 59 cents. Before taxes. Net 31 cents.
	10:57am Cecile: ...and make it look that good.
	10:57am Cecile: fleep, what for if you don't mind me askin?
	10:58am northguineahills: Fleep, reminds of a Seinfeld episode....
	10:59am ?: you've stopped streaming
	11:00am fleep: Cecile, the script for one episode of an 80s TV show called "Paper Dolls" that ran somewhere in Europe.
	👻 11:00am 12539: Stream is fine here...
	11:01am Cecile: wow! I remember that show, although I never saw it. nice.
	11:02am KP: Great songwriter song!
	👻 11:06am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & Co. Midnight Mushrumps.
	👻 11:08am Brian in UK: B J Cole on pedal steel guitar.
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Cochise cover does not work on CD.
	11:12am frenchee: Speaking of 71-y-os, today is Brian Wilson's birthday~ He's a Gemini.
	11:18am Carmichael: Morning Joe, and Hola everyone.
	11:18am Joe McG: @frenchee: Somehow that makes perfect sense!
	11:18am osvi: Whaaaaaat? Joe McGasko to see me off to work? That is what I am talking about!
	11:19am Joe McG: Hey, osvi! What do you know, I'm waking up with the birdies!
	11:20am northguineahills: Trees!
	11:20am Mike East: late commenting this, but that Spies track earlier really spoke to me as a fan of the radio. I suspect a lot of others here as well.
	11:21am Carmichael: Oh, I'm a Leo, by the way.
	👻 11:22am tim from champaign: I like this Trees track.
	11:22am Joe McG: Hey, Carm, we didn't get your sign earlier, but we'll try again another time. @ME: Glad you dug the Spies. I love songs about loving radio.
	11:23am frenchee: CAPRICORNS WILL STEAL THE HEAD OFFA NICKEL
	11:23am joe: this is one of those songs where the guitar sneaks up on ya.
	11:24am mrmucho: Great drum sound on this track
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Happy Birthday Carmichael. I have the same BD as Stewart Copeland or vice versa. Who's he? Next up? Lindisfarne?
	11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: I forgot my Jack the Lad record. I was going to play that today!
	11:25am Carmichael: @Brian: yeah, Meet Me on the Corner. I have the same birthday as Mark Knopfler. And George Hamilton.
	11:25am fleep: Speed version better. Go back.
	11:26am KevinfromBayRidge: Thought that was Amy Allison!
	11:26am Joe McG: @frenchee: And I will, too. Heart first, though; then, head.
	11:26am Joe McG: @fleep: Ha ha! @kevin: Ha ha ha!
	11:26am Carmichael: That Trees track sounded like Fairport Convention, the Sandy Denny version.
	11:26am dc pat: mrs. dc pat shares a birthday with Ringo...that's all I have to report.
	👻 11:27am tim from champaign: New Yo La Tengo?
	11:27am Chris M.: just woke up, hear this song, ready to "sleep" forever.
	11:28am northguineahills: wait, wait, wait, it's Carmichael's bday? Hurrazah, and congratulations surviving for one more lap on this rock around the day star!
	11:28am Joe McG: Hey, Chris! Don't I usually put you to sleep? @Carmichael: Happy birthday, sir!
	11:29am Cheri Pi: Carms! have a fantazztical Birthday Today!
	11:29am Carmichael: No no, my birthday is in August (Leo). Brian got confused. You can verify that with Mark Knopfler.
	👻 11:29am Brian in UK: Carmichael I meant same day, same year. Hell who cares. Alan Hull was a wonderful song writer.
	11:30am KP: Trees? Beautious.
	11:30am PKNY: One of my favorite NY songs, good call!
	11:30am Cheri Pi: HBD in advance then.
	11:31am Carmichael: But thanks anyway, all. It's good to count heads, for those times when trouble comes.
	11:31am joe: Oh good I'm not the only one who got the Neil Young vibe out of that.
	11:31am Mike East: Hey, Happy Nonbirthday, Carmichael! That goes for everyone else, too!
	11:32am Chris M.: Joe: your show never made me sleeZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Sorry Carmichael, wooden spoon effect. Your un-round. I'll have a beer. Thanks. Happy un-Birthday

	11:46am Glenn m: love me some banjo

	11:47am Joe McG: @glenn: More comin' your way!
	11:48am Carmichael: Now we just need that high lonesome voice.

	11:54am Cecile: Brian, you aren't kidding on how hard it was to find things back in the day. Even in the 80s, I had a huge list of LPs and comics for friends all over the world.
