Listener comments!
	8:02pm TDK60: Memphis? I've heard that city had some influence.
	8:04pm Carmichael: Heya Gaylord. I like anyone named Furry.
	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @TDK60: Perhaps my guest can persuade you that is so. Interview starts at 20 after the hour.
	8:09pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: I wonder if anyone has ever named a cat Bryan Furry.
	8:11pm Debbie D.: Jerry Lee made a deal with the devil!
	8:12pm TDK60: Greetings DJ Gaylord. I was being funny. Went to a blues fest in Memphis in 1972. "Crossed the tracks" to a neighborhood blues juke joint. Wow!
	8:12pm Gaylord Fields: @Debbie D.: I think the devil got hoodwinked!
	8:15pm Linda Lee: isn't this Cargoe tune great! hi Mr. Fields!
	8:16pm redkayak: Good evening all! :)
	8:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: It's The Best in Memphis!
	8:17pm Linda Lee: beautiful segue. wow. Rufus is hot!!!
	8:17pm Corey: From Furry Lewis to Cargoe in 4 songs! Nicely done
	8:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Thanks, my friend!
	8:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Corey: Memphis, freeform style!
	8:18pm tom from Glasgow: Rufus! my Hoof'n'Mouth fantasy pick. hi Gaylord! also others
	8:19pm tom from Glasgow: can't believe you've got Petula Clark dropping in here, that rules
	8:19pm Linda Lee: i did the Locomotion to that one. believe it! :-D
	8:20pm Debbie D.: Thanks, Gaylord! The Best In Memphis!!
	8:20pm Stashu: I just got word that, Gaylord rules. It was by telegraph- that's why it took so long. But they knew a long while ago.
	8:21pm Linda Lee: Stashu!! indeed he does rule!!!
	8:21pm tom from Glasgow: HIYA VONNIE xxx
	8:23pm Gaylord Fields: @tom from Glasgow: I can't believe that I've got Petula Clark myself! But it is really happening!
	8:24pm Linda Lee: that is very exciting!!
	8:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Stashu: Stashu! PS: Stashu!
	8:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: You are too good to me!
	8:29pm Stashu: Hi Tomasz, Linda! Gaylord, nice interview (good to be listening to FMU!)
	8:29pm Stashu: And Debbie, good work :)
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Stashu: To quote a new favorite band of yours, I get by with a little help from my friends.
	8:41pm JakeGould: This is truly a hard day’s night… I’m getting over the cold and I feel I am one yawn away from my ears popping so I can finally hear things again.
	8:42pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: Hope you're Getting Better.
	8:42pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: Getting better all the time!
	8:44pm tom from Glasgow: @Stash: i, too, enjoy listening to FMU
	8:45pm northguineahills: It appears, I have no original comments to contribute, what everyone else said!
	8:46pm Gaylord Fields: @northguineahills: So glad you're here!
	8:47pm tom from Glasgow: this is such a perfect 8-10 Sunday evening show. shame that translates to 1-3am but you cannot have it all
	8:47pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: You are good people!
	8:48pm Gaylord Fields: @tom from Glasgow: I wish I could warp time and space for you, but heaven knows that won't be happening with WFMU's gear.
	8:49pm cash: What's this guy's name, & his book?
	8:49pm northguineahills: danks, Jake und Gaylord!
	8:51pm tom from Glasgow: ha! no no, it's ok, that's what archives are for after all, but it's very well suited to its timeslot. i was just thinking of when i would get ready to go back to school on Sunday nights in the 90s and i'd listen to this show on BBC Radio 1 that would specifically play album tracks from stuff in the album charts, and that too seemed really well suited to when it was programmed. Samantha's is great as an early evening programme too, but again, same unfortunate 5-hour offset
	8:51pm Gaylord Fields: @cash: Alvin Toffler, "Future Shock"
	8:52pm cash: No go, gaylord.
	8:53pm tom from Glasgow: ha, i never knew that phrase was from a book and i totally want to read it now
	8:53pm JakeGould: I think it’s called “Bonfire of the Vanities.”
	8:54pm tom from Glasgow: Bonfire of the Manatees
	8:56pm Cooh John: Catching the interview in medias res. Wow.
	8:56pm JakeGould: You know, when you are lonely and horny while out at sea manatees can look like pretty ladies.
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Cooh John: Welcome!
	8:58pm Brian in New Orleans: New Orleans is still great , yes but gentrification has taken a big toll along with AirBnB on the historic neighborhoods of Treme, Bywater, and Fauberg Marigny, the neighborhoods that fill the club's stages with brass bands and Mardi Gras Indians are slowly being decimated....just saying. it IS still magic here but is in a very fragile state
	8:59pm northguineahills: @Jake: That's the story I heard, I just wish I didn't have to revisit that headspace.
	8:59pm Cooh John: How about a field guide to the gritty and obscure clubs in Memphis?
	9:00pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: Sorry… Hope you get over the scurvy soon!
	9:01pm Cooh John: Wild Bill's it is.
	9:01pm Gaylord Fields: @Brian in New Orleans: Savor it while it's vital.
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: hey Gaylord and all
	9:03pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth∅: Hello!
	9:07pm Drunken Creep: An engaging and interesting interview, hitting the ears just right after a long day. I love that second hand quote "Turn down the bad, turn up the good", pertinent to mixing music as well as general living. A fine listen, different from the usual sunday evening, yet great once again
	9:09pm Gaylord Fields: @Drunken Creep: That should be put on a plaque and placed in every recording studio.
	9:11pm tom from Glasgow: why was there a Yogi Berra and a Yogi Bear? one of the strangest aspects of American culture, for me
	9:13pm Brian in New Orleans: I will Gaylord!....also an overlooked dynamic, including whomever books Jazz Fest is the strength of local hip hop. most young kids in the city live for hip hop not the Juke Joint lifestyle even brass bands. still ONLY in our wonderful weird city could "sissybounce" be a driving cultural movement!!!
	9:14pm the illuminated void: first time i heard some sun recording compilation was in a squat on the lower east side like 3rd and E. It was a cassette i think he might have taped from someone else. My friend has past now bad drug habit. peace to Bob RIP
	9:14pm Brian in New Orleans: ...can "Sissybounce" be born!!!
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @tom from Glasgow: I believe the confusion started with Yogi Bhagwan stealing picnic baskets.
	9:16pm Gaylord Fields: @Brian in New Orleans: As long as NOLA can still produce a Big Freedia, we may be okay after all.
	9:16pm JakeGould: If that is the most confusing aspect of American culture to you Tom, either you are a ahead of the curve or very behind.
	9:17pm tom from Glasgow: no no, i only said "one of". but still, putting that together from cultural fragments in the pre-internet era was a trip
	9:22pm Tommy in Neversink: This is sooo interesting
	9:23pm ?: I know Paul Duane and Ted Barron and they are both fine individuals
	9:24pm delphine: oops that was me. about paul and ted and this interview is great
	9:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Tommy in Neversink: Debbie and I could have listened to him spin yarns for days!
	9:25pm Gaylord Fields: @delphine: You speak all truth!
	9:27pm Mike Sin: Such a fascinating interview!
	9:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Mike Sin: It's a real privilege hosting the man! And Petula Clark next week!
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: Excellent interview!
	9:32pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth∅: Our guest made it very easy for us.
	9:32pm Brian in New Orleans: @Gaylord....Big Freedia is so "big"...that his/her picture is prominently displayed on a huge billboard on Interstate 10 as you enter the city..Now of course it is for a lawyers advertisement showcasing her as a client in a tax scandal, cause you know New Orleans!! LOL
	9:33pm Brian in New Orleans: ....tax avoidance lawsuit Freedia won...cause you know....New orleans!! lol
	9:34pm Shira: Great show! Thanks, Gaylord & Debbie!
	9:35pm listener 126464: ASSAULT/DUI/TAX EVASION/POLKA
	9:35pm Corey: Edifying Sunday programming. Put a Memphis road trip on the summer to do list.
	9:36pm listener 126464: thanks that was a great interview
	9:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Brian in New Orleans: Oh, New Orleans! Thanks for the update!
	9:37pm TDK60: Interesting talk. A unique city. Gordon implies: we dig our locales too. // >news flash> Petula Clark to visit Downtown Jersey City.
	9:38pm tom from Glasgow: off-topic but have we all heard Billy Swan's "Don't Be Cruel"? cosmic country, i love it a lot
	9:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Shira: And thanks to our guest, Robert Gordon!
	9:41pm Gaylord Fields: @listener 126464: Much obliged!

Sun. Dec 22nd, 3pm - 5pm: The Unsolicited Return of the Winter Soul-stice (fill-in for Paul Bruno) (More info...)
You can't stop the seasons from turning, and you evidently also can't stop an old dog from performing his one old trick. Answering the teeming clamor of one New York Times food columnist , Gaylord Fields is returning to WFMU's airwaves for a one-off Winter Soul-stice program. In his time away he's learned nothing, so the format will remain the same: two hours of original 1960s soul 45s, and the abuse of an expensive reverb machine for the sake of corny vocal effects.
