	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: What a tune for croutons!
	12:04pm Mayuko: yay Uncle Michael!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I will definitely be less commenty today...pick up my slack, won't you?
	12:07pm Lane Gray: Doug, great cover of Harlan Howard
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: No worries, you've got all hands busy, incl. disembodied ones!
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: @Lane Gray Yeah, I love that one!
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Turn that (heart)beat over again?
	12:11pm Parq: Thank you, Thing. And thank you, Uncle Michael.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: So glad you're all here...pop...click...
	12:13pm Webhamster Henry: I haven't heard this Bonnie & Clyde in a long time. WFMU usually plays Serge Gainsbourg's take on them.
	12:13pm P-90: Home with a touch of flu, get to hear the whole show live today. Yay!
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: Likewise! It has been a while.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: did I cue up live on the air?
	12:18pm From Georgia: Poke Salad, from the Pokeweed
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: The current cut started with "Four," if that provides some info.
	12:19pm chromaphone: 10 years ago I went to Sanibel Island and a few days after I got back home a resident granny got eaten by a gator right where I had been hanging out.
	12:22pm listener james from westwood: Holy yikes, chromaphone!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: wow...whoa
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can I get a yeehaw..
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I say good sir - should we classify this properly as honkytonk or outlaw? I do not wish to be remiss...
	12:25pm chromaphone: Apparently she had been feeding it from her lawn which is a big no no.
	12:25pm Lane Gray: From Tom to Cal. Impressive jump.
	12:26pm Stanley: The Lord knows I should now be drinking. See y'all (on the 'phones from here on)
	12:26pm Alex In Illinois: I never heard that Cal Smith number before. That is one great song.
	12:27pm flash: workin but listening
	12:27pm Doug Schulkind: We quietly throw up.
	12:28pm Parq: You're a good sport, Uncle M.
	12:30pm chromaphone: Wow, don't think I have heard this since it was on the radio. And hi!
	12:31pm Spaniel: ditto what @Parq said. my condolences UM
	12:31pm Stanley: Sweet!
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, friends. I take it Spaniel knows of what Parq speaks.
	12:34pm Lane Gray: Alex, it was his breakout hit after he left Ernest Tubb (Cal was his drummer, I believe). Big hit in 72
	12:35pm Alex In Illinois: In "Action", there is that cash register sound right when that change occurs. I remember a friend saying to me: "Get it!? Get it!? Change!? Change!"
	12:35pm Spaniel: ha, assuming he was referring to a recent "NY Groove"
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Kinda!
	12:38pm Sue P.: Perfect music to blow off work to! Thx, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 12:38pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My this is bringing back my misspent youth. Thanks.
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We had the 'Run Joey Run' 45 when I was a wee kiddo. I was pretty fortunate for era & older siblings, as far as tunes go...
	12:39pm Alex In Illinois: I always loved the way the synths sound in "Fox on the Run". And this was years before Devo or The Cars. I don't know if it was before Kraftwerk's Autobahn though. I think a number songs by The Cars got synth ideas from Sweet.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Glad you can blow it off, Sue!
	12:39pm Parq: According to yesterday's Good Grey, I am regarded by some as the moral equivalent of a Nazi in post-war Germany. As far as I'm concerned, then, the big occasion that's coming up hereabouts is Halloween. Maybe somebody in my nabe will dress up as Ace.
	12:39pm Lane Gray: Oops. Cal was Ernest's guitar player, Jack Green was the drummer. Lord Knows I'm Drinking was his first #1
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: Oh man, this set is a firecracker!
	12:40pm holland oats: this is a perfect driving set. someone drive me somewhere.
	12:40pm chromaphone: Apparently Greg Hawkes lives near me. You're right Alex he must have been into Sweet.
	🛒 12:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah, kicking myself because I tuned in a bit late and missed some good stuff! Jeff Lynn FTW.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best.
	12:41pm Lane Gray: Whole show is good. Good for putting the miles behind me.
	12:41pm Matt in Nebraska: I keep turning up the volume. Good show today.
	12:43pm Parq: My profile Favorites list is growing by leaps and bounds this week.
	12:44pm Lane Gray: Holland, I'm driving. I'm in my third state since he started (but West Virginia is only 14 miles wide)
	12:44pm Andrew Waterloo: This seems to be a set made up of songs I've heard dozens of times but didn't really know who sang them.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Welcome one and all.
	🛒 12:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Golden Grass, the Best of the Grass Roots LP, is sitting in my "get rid of" area right now. Perhaps I should reconsider.
	12:47pm Jeff Golick: ^^ what Andrew Waterloo done said.
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yer just hatin' this 45 thing aren'tcha UM :p ...
	12:51pm Mr. Met: How very generous of you, Michael!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Not hatin' it Rev!
	12:54pm northguineahills: @Lane Gray: You must have passed nearby my grandparent's old house. They lived in Moundsville, WV, just south of Wheeling, WV.
	12:55pm northguineahills: (Unless you went through the other panhandle)
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: There may be no guilty pleasures, but several of these records definitely pled nolo contenedre.
	12:57pm chromaphone: @DS - I was just thinking the same thing!
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: @chromaphone: After I read my post, I felt that I should have worded it a little better. What's that word . . . "influenced" that is what I should have used. I hope Greg Hawkes is not going to see my post and get mad. I liked his synth work when I was into the Cars, but then I became a Devo fan.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Your inner eleven year-olds love this cheese.
	1:00pm Parq: And I'm too pretty to drive! www.cmongethappy.com...
	🛒 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - Pop is a Thing, man.
	🛒 1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just ask...Thing...
	1:03pm Jeff g.: Suddenly looking forward to casting my vote for Carter.
	1:03pm Doug Schulkind: I love Ralfi Pagan's cover of this. I love the original, too.
	1:04pm Jeff g.: He's talking about chili, right?
	1:04pm Lane Gray: I went straight across 70, thru Wheeling. 470 and those extra grades aren't nice on a big truck. Left Hagerstown this morning, be in KC in the wee small hours
	1:05pm Jeff g.: Is this a PSA?
	1:06pm Lane Gray: Ode to ethylene
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I went straight through the '70s too.
	1:06pm chromaphone: @Alex - glad you reworded it because Hawkes was pissed! I was surprised when my friend showed my a live Devo dvd by how good they were. They really rocked.
	1:07pm Lane Gray: Remember to donate if you haven't (iIalready did)
	1:08pm ndbob: The only Grand Funk record I really like!
	1:11pm northguineahills: That's a long haul, Lane Gray!
	1:11pm Mike East: yet another off of Michael Shelley's Superhits of the 70's that I'm hearing the original for the first time here!
	1:12pm Lane Gray: I only do half of it. I go to bed between Indy and Terre Haute
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: who covered it for Michael?
	1:15pm Mike East: volume 1...can't remember who covered it...
	1:16pm Mike East: ...Jay Sherman Godfrey
	1:16pm Alex In Illinois: @chromaphone: In one of my failed band attempts, I think I said something to the keyboard guy like: "More like Devo, okay if not Devo, then can you play more like Gregory Hawkes of The Cars?"
	1:18pm Matt in Nebraska: Haven't heard this one in forever.
	1:19pm Alex In Illinois: @Uncle Michael: I don't know why, but I have that exact same recollection of that same moment of that same Elton John and Kiki Dee video too. And I saw it on The Midnight Special too. Maybe it was also played again on Don Kirchner's. Maybe not.
	1:21pm northguineahills: I never knew the Ventures did the Hawaii-Five-O theme, makes sense.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Big hit for them.
	1:23pm P-90: My Dad and I used to turn on the opening of Hawaii 50, just to hear the song, before going on to whatever we were really going to watch that night...
	1:24pm flash: I love "apache"
	1:24pm Tonto: Yes?
	1:24pm Rich in Washington: I found my copy of this single in one of those gigantic bins at a Goodwill depot, loosey-goosey, sans sleeve. It still sounds great.
	1:25pm P-90: ...and a very nice take on the perennial "Apache" by Jorgen
	1:26pm Lane Gray: The Ventures covered it. The show theme was the CBS Orchestra
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: his nice take is the original hit version on this side of the pond
	1:28pm Charlie: That Originals song sure was sweet.
	1:28pm P-90: "Apache" is one of those tunes many of the 60s-era English guitar greats say was one of the first, if not the very first, songs they learned on guitar. I think Hank Marvin of the Shadows made a big impression when he played it on that side of the pond.
	1:29pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael & everyone!
	1:29pm Charlie: And speaking of (the) Sweet, I wish I'd played Blockbuster yesterday...
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Guido (not Greedo)!
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Shadows albums w/out Cliff (nuffin' gainst him) are really kewl - like UK Ventures in fact. Would like to know about all that stuff...
	1:32pm P-90: @UM: I was wondering if that was THE big US version of Apache. Another tune I saw the Ventures play many times. And Dick Dale still whips that one out on dates.
	1:34pm ?: Guten TZAG Guido!
	🛒 1:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah this is definitely the day of songs I've heard but didn't know the title or artist. I remember Mississippi with fondness.
	1:35pm Jeff Golick: Now eating a pb&j on white bread for maximum 70s verisimilitude.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: no sketty-o's?
	1:36pm P-90: I mean: Guten TZAG Guido! The IOS app sometimes un-names me.
	🛒 1:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My college boyfriend's roommate couldn't fall asleep without music playing and his choice was Bread.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: white bread?
	1:45pm Charlie: Love this Graham Parker song.
	1:47pm Charlie: Misread previous comment as saying: Gluten tag.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: you're it! (hits Charlie with a slice of white bread)
	1:51pm northguineahills: Thanks, UM. Gotta skip-to-my-lou (thankfully not my loo).
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: see you later NGH, thanks
	1:53pm Parq: Who does Liza leak?
	1:54pm Charlie: never heard Rachel Sweet's cover of I Go to Pieces (recovers from white bread slap)
	🛒 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is it me - or was little Rachel Sweet one of the sexiest singers (as a singer) ever??...
	1:55pm flash: I'd never heard that version of Lat Trip to Tulsa, Uncle. Really jazzed about it, gotta get a copy for myself. Electric/drunken treatment really improved that song, which I always sort of thought was the weakest point of the S/T LP
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: not just you
	🛒 1:58pm Brian in UK: Quick hello Uncle. Been humming Danny Wilson's Mary's Prayer today for no perticler reason. Looks like you are taking no prisoners. First single. The Young Ones by Cliff Richard & The Shadows.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello Brian...we're not even leaving our wounded.
	2:08pm Jeff Golick: Gotta go get a kid - thanks for the superlative show, @UM!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', Jeff!
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really cleaned & polished The Nazz's arrangement - & especially their mix...
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's like - a Producer & stuff...
	2:11pm Parq: This gorgeous Todd single hits the spot, as it has for 40 some-odd (and some of them have been pretty damn odd) years. Bye Jeff, get a neat one, it's easier to clean up after them at the dinner table.
	2:12pm Parq: I really missed this 3DN track the other Saturday.
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: Gig time. Nice one, Uncle.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: See ya Brian.
	2:14pm Parq: That roll-out. Sigh.
	🛒 2:19pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I always remember "Hello It's Me" as faster than it is. Somebody should do a thrash version of it. Loved the Little Feat, need to get out my CDs.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: next a song Doug had a cover of on the stream about ten minutes before his show started...
	2:20pm johnk77: nice work selecter@um 38 years later i had forgotten sailin shoes was a b-side bonnie raitt on some of the harmony vocals
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: yep!
	🛒 2:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had totally forgotten Magdalena but now remember being annoyed by its "nothing like a saint you are" grammar.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: summer of '70...my cabin performed Spinning Wheel at talent night at Camp Nebagamon
	2:31pm Webhamster Henry: More cowbell.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I wish I had Mississippi Queen on tap, Henry.
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I guess they couldn't call it "Son of a Bitch" but I always thought that was the name of this.
	🛒 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...salt shaker! ...don't mess !...
	2:34pm Parq: If I'm not beating a dead horse on Three Dog Night, I remembered a pretty good piece Rolling Stone ran on them back in their broadsheet days, and it turns out it's available on line. www.rollingstone.com...
	2:36pm chromaphone: Nice cowbell
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Parq...I'll read that!
	2:36pm ndbob: Thanks Parq!
	🛒 2:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I was at a baby shower where most of the people were in bands and the mom to be unwrapped a music box. Somebody yelled out "Does it play 'Fool for the City'??" which I found absurdly hilarious.
	🛒 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MusicMachine!
	2:42pm Parq: His name is really mud.
	2:43pm Charlie: can't seem to talk about the things that bother me seem to be what everybody has against me
	2:43pm Guido from Cologne: oh cool!
	🛒 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Igggy!
	🛒 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...grooby segue Sir...
	2:45pm Guido from Cologne: 1973 proto-raw-Power-session if I'm not wrong.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I doubt you're wrong.
	2:47pm johnk77: rip steve mackay:< the fifth stooge
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: Funny thing, Michael. I saw that Donny Hathaway cover of "Magdalena" about 10 songs down in the stream's queue and I MOVED IT UP, because I wanted to hear it before I started my show.
	2:50pm Guido from Cologne: thank you michael CU next week
	🛒 2:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello every one. Unc, In regard to 3 Dog, one of my first concerts was 3Dog,Stevie Wonder and that long-lasting phenom -BloodRock in "71
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: See you Guido! I was happy to hear it, Doug.

	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob...three more singles...steady now...

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 23, 2015

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:14pm listener james from westwood: Likewise! It has been a while.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: did I cue up live on the air?
	12:18pm From Georgia: Poke Salad, from the Pokeweed
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: The current cut started with "Four," if that provides some info.
	12:19pm chromaphone: 10 years ago I went to Sanibel Island and a few days after I got back home a resident granny got eaten by a gator right where I had been hanging out.
	12:22pm listener james from westwood: Holy yikes, chromaphone!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: wow...whoa
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can I get a yeehaw..
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I say good sir - should we classify this properly as honkytonk or outlaw? I do not wish to be remiss...
	12:25pm chromaphone: Apparently she had been feeding it from her lawn which is a big no no.
	12:25pm Lane Gray: From Tom to Cal. Impressive jump.
	12:26pm Stanley: The Lord knows I should now be drinking. See y'all (on the 'phones from here on)
	12:26pm Alex In Illinois: I never heard that Cal Smith number before. That is one great song.
	12:27pm flash: workin but listening
	12:27pm Doug Schulkind: We quietly throw up.
	12:28pm Parq: You're a good sport, Uncle M.
	12:30pm chromaphone: Wow, don't think I have heard this since it was on the radio. And hi!
	12:31pm Spaniel: ditto what @Parq said. my condolences UM
	12:31pm Stanley: Sweet!
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, friends. I take it Spaniel knows of what Parq speaks.
	12:34pm Lane Gray: Alex, it was his breakout hit after he left Ernest Tubb (Cal was his drummer, I believe). Big hit in 72
	12:35pm Alex In Illinois: In "Action", there is that cash register sound right when that change occurs. I remember a friend saying to me: "Get it!? Get it!? Change!? Change!"
	12:35pm Spaniel: ha, assuming he was referring to a recent "NY Groove"
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Kinda!
	12:38pm Sue P.: Perfect music to blow off work to! Thx, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 12:38pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My this is bringing back my misspent youth. Thanks.
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We had the 'Run Joey Run' 45 when I was a wee kiddo. I was pretty fortunate for era & older siblings, as far as tunes go...
	12:39pm Alex In Illinois: I always loved the way the synths sound in "Fox on the Run". And this was years before Devo or The Cars. I don't know if it was before Kraftwerk's Autobahn though. I think a number songs by The Cars got synth ideas from Sweet.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Glad you can blow it off, Sue!
	12:39pm Parq: According to yesterday's Good Grey, I am regarded by some as the moral equivalent of a Nazi in post-war Germany. As far as I'm concerned, then, the big occasion that's coming up hereabouts is Halloween. Maybe somebody in my nabe will dress up as Ace.
	12:39pm Lane Gray: Oops. Cal was Ernest's guitar player, Jack Green was the drummer. Lord Knows I'm Drinking was his first #1
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: Oh man, this set is a firecracker!
	12:40pm holland oats: this is a perfect driving set. someone drive me somewhere.
	12:40pm chromaphone: Apparently Greg Hawkes lives near me. You're right Alex he must have been into Sweet.
	🛒 12:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah, kicking myself because I tuned in a bit late and missed some good stuff! Jeff Lynn FTW.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best.
	12:41pm Lane Gray: Whole show is good. Good for putting the miles behind me.
	12:41pm Matt in Nebraska: I keep turning up the volume. Good show today.
	12:43pm Parq: My profile Favorites list is growing by leaps and bounds this week.
	12:44pm Lane Gray: Holland, I'm driving. I'm in my third state since he started (but West Virginia is only 14 miles wide)
	12:44pm Andrew Waterloo: This seems to be a set made up of songs I've heard dozens of times but didn't really know who sang them.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Welcome one and all.
	🛒 12:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Golden Grass, the Best of the Grass Roots LP, is sitting in my "get rid of" area right now. Perhaps I should reconsider.
	12:47pm Jeff Golick: ^^ what Andrew Waterloo done said.
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yer just hatin' this 45 thing aren'tcha UM :p ...
	12:51pm Mr. Met: How very generous of you, Michael!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Not hatin' it Rev!
	12:54pm northguineahills: @Lane Gray: You must have passed nearby my grandparent's old house. They lived in Moundsville, WV, just south of Wheeling, WV.
	12:55pm northguineahills: (Unless you went through the other panhandle)
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: There may be no guilty pleasures, but several of these records definitely pled nolo contenedre.
	12:57pm chromaphone: @DS - I was just thinking the same thing!
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: @chromaphone: After I read my post, I felt that I should have worded it a little better. What's that word . . . "influenced" that is what I should have used. I hope Greg Hawkes is not going to see my post and get mad. I liked his synth work when I was into the Cars, but then I became a Devo fan.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Your inner eleven year-olds love this cheese.
	1:00pm Parq: And I'm too pretty to drive! www.cmongethappy.com...
	🛒 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - Pop is a Thing, man.
	🛒 1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just ask...Thing...
	1:03pm Jeff g.: Suddenly looking forward to casting my vote for Carter.
	1:03pm Doug Schulkind: I love Ralfi Pagan's cover of this. I love the original, too.
	1:04pm Jeff g.: He's talking about chili, right?
	1:04pm Lane Gray: I went straight across 70, thru Wheeling. 470 and those extra grades aren't nice on a big truck. Left Hagerstown this morning, be in KC in the wee small hours
	1:05pm Jeff g.: Is this a PSA?
	1:06pm Lane Gray: Ode to ethylene
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I went straight through the '70s too.
	1:06pm chromaphone: @Alex - glad you reworded it because Hawkes was pissed! I was surprised when my friend showed my a live Devo dvd by how good they were. They really rocked.
	1:07pm Lane Gray: Remember to donate if you haven't (iIalready did)
	1:08pm ndbob: The only Grand Funk record I really like!
	1:11pm northguineahills: That's a long haul, Lane Gray!
	1:11pm Mike East: yet another off of Michael Shelley's Superhits of the 70's that I'm hearing the original for the first time here!
	1:12pm Lane Gray: I only do half of it. I go to bed between Indy and Terre Haute
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: who covered it for Michael?
	1:15pm Mike East: volume 1...can't remember who covered it...
	1:16pm Mike East: ...Jay Sherman Godfrey
	1:16pm Alex In Illinois: @chromaphone: In one of my failed band attempts, I think I said something to the keyboard guy like: "More like Devo, okay if not Devo, then can you play more like Gregory Hawkes of The Cars?"
	1:18pm Matt in Nebraska: Haven't heard this one in forever.
	1:19pm Alex In Illinois: @Uncle Michael: I don't know why, but I have that exact same recollection of that same moment of that same Elton John and Kiki Dee video too. And I saw it on The Midnight Special too. Maybe it was also played again on Don Kirchner's. Maybe not.
	1:21pm northguineahills: I never knew the Ventures did the Hawaii-Five-O theme, makes sense.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Big hit for them.
	1:23pm P-90: My Dad and I used to turn on the opening of Hawaii 50, just to hear the song, before going on to whatever we were really going to watch that night...
	1:24pm flash: I love "apache"
	1:24pm Tonto: Yes?
	1:24pm Rich in Washington: I found my copy of this single in one of those gigantic bins at a Goodwill depot, loosey-goosey, sans sleeve. It still sounds great.
	1:25pm P-90: ...and a very nice take on the perennial "Apache" by Jorgen
	1:26pm Lane Gray: The Ventures covered it. The show theme was the CBS Orchestra
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: his nice take is the original hit version on this side of the pond
	1:28pm Charlie: That Originals song sure was sweet.
	1:28pm P-90: "Apache" is one of those tunes many of the 60s-era English guitar greats say was one of the first, if not the very first, songs they learned on guitar. I think Hank Marvin of the Shadows made a big impression when he played it on that side of the pond.
	1:29pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael & everyone!
	1:29pm Charlie: And speaking of (the) Sweet, I wish I'd played Blockbuster yesterday...
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Guido (not Greedo)!
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Shadows albums w/out Cliff (nuffin' gainst him) are really kewl - like UK Ventures in fact. Would like to know about all that stuff...
	1:32pm P-90: @UM: I was wondering if that was THE big US version of Apache. Another tune I saw the Ventures play many times. And Dick Dale still whips that one out on dates.
	1:34pm ?: Guten TZAG Guido!
	🛒 1:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah this is definitely the day of songs I've heard but didn't know the title or artist. I remember Mississippi with fondness.
	1:35pm Jeff Golick: Now eating a pb&j on white bread for maximum 70s verisimilitude.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: no sketty-o's?
	1:36pm P-90: I mean: Guten TZAG Guido! The IOS app sometimes un-names me.
	🛒 1:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My college boyfriend's roommate couldn't fall asleep without music playing and his choice was Bread.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: white bread?
	1:45pm Charlie: Love this Graham Parker song.
	1:47pm Charlie: Misread previous comment as saying: Gluten tag.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: you're it! (hits Charlie with a slice of white bread)
	1:51pm northguineahills: Thanks, UM. Gotta skip-to-my-lou (thankfully not my loo).
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: see you later NGH, thanks
	1:53pm Parq: Who does Liza leak?
	1:54pm Charlie: never heard Rachel Sweet's cover of I Go to Pieces (recovers from white bread slap)
	🛒 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is it me - or was little Rachel Sweet one of the sexiest singers (as a singer) ever??...
	1:55pm flash: I'd never heard that version of Lat Trip to Tulsa, Uncle. Really jazzed about it, gotta get a copy for myself. Electric/drunken treatment really improved that song, which I always sort of thought was the weakest point of the S/T LP
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: not just you
	🛒 1:58pm Brian in UK: Quick hello Uncle. Been humming Danny Wilson's Mary's Prayer today for no perticler reason. Looks like you are taking no prisoners. First single. The Young Ones by Cliff Richard & The Shadows.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello Brian...we're not even leaving our wounded.
	2:08pm Jeff Golick: Gotta go get a kid - thanks for the superlative show, @UM!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', Jeff!
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really cleaned & polished The Nazz's arrangement - & especially their mix...
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's like - a Producer & stuff...
	2:11pm Parq: This gorgeous Todd single hits the spot, as it has for 40 some-odd (and some of them have been pretty damn odd) years. Bye Jeff, get a neat one, it's easier to clean up after them at the dinner table.
	2:12pm Parq: I really missed this 3DN track the other Saturday.
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: Gig time. Nice one, Uncle.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: See ya Brian.
	2:14pm Parq: That roll-out. Sigh.
	🛒 2:19pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I always remember "Hello It's Me" as faster than it is. Somebody should do a thrash version of it. Loved the Little Feat, need to get out my CDs.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: next a song Doug had a cover of on the stream about ten minutes before his show started...
	2:20pm johnk77: nice work selecter@um 38 years later i had forgotten sailin shoes was a b-side bonnie raitt on some of the harmony vocals
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: yep!
	🛒 2:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had totally forgotten Magdalena but now remember being annoyed by its "nothing like a saint you are" grammar.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: summer of '70...my cabin performed Spinning Wheel at talent night at Camp Nebagamon
	2:31pm Webhamster Henry: More cowbell.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I wish I had Mississippi Queen on tap, Henry.
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I guess they couldn't call it "Son of a Bitch" but I always thought that was the name of this.
	🛒 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...salt shaker! ...don't mess !...
	2:34pm Parq: If I'm not beating a dead horse on Three Dog Night, I remembered a pretty good piece Rolling Stone ran on them back in their broadsheet days, and it turns out it's available on line. www.rollingstone.com...
	2:36pm chromaphone: Nice cowbell
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Parq...I'll read that!
	2:36pm ndbob: Thanks Parq!
	🛒 2:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I was at a baby shower where most of the people were in bands and the mom to be unwrapped a music box. Somebody yelled out "Does it play 'Fool for the City'??" which I found absurdly hilarious.
	🛒 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MusicMachine!
	2:42pm Parq: His name is really mud.
	2:43pm Charlie: can't seem to talk about the things that bother me seem to be what everybody has against me
	2:43pm Guido from Cologne: oh cool!
	🛒 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Igggy!
	🛒 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...grooby segue Sir...
	2:45pm Guido from Cologne: 1973 proto-raw-Power-session if I'm not wrong.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I doubt you're wrong.
	2:47pm johnk77: rip steve mackay:< the fifth stooge
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: Funny thing, Michael. I saw that Donny Hathaway cover of "Magdalena" about 10 songs down in the stream's queue and I MOVED IT UP, because I wanted to hear it before I started my show.
	2:50pm Guido from Cologne: thank you michael CU next week
	🛒 2:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello every one. Unc, In regard to 3 Dog, one of my first concerts was 3Dog,Stevie Wonder and that long-lasting phenom -BloodRock in "71
