	9:06am Davee: Nice start this morning Joe
	9:07am Brendan: This is the horniest intro (sans Barry White) that I’ve ever heard

	9:20am Lixiviated Life: ... and Chet Baker to boot. You must love a torch song don't ya Joe? Chet.... that reed like, haunting voice. Slay me.
	9:24am Lixiviated Life: The end of summer and the coming frost the thinning trees and a hint of bare branches. the close of the regular baseball season and the inevitable collapse of the Mets. Oh Autumn, you are the season of loss.
	👻 9:25am karlward: Dope Keely Smith cut.
	9:27am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe! Thank you for this music! ❤️
	9:28am melinda: Nice set. Love Bewitched.
	9:28am Mike Wolf: Yeah, thanks for that Keely song Joe. I was lucky to see her with Sam Butera (Louis and Keely’s old saxist) in Vegas in 1994, then got the chance to interview her in the early 2000s for Time Out — she was so generous with the stories and (as far as I could tell) did not sugarcoat any of it. Great woman.
	9:30am steveo: early autumn! (90 degrees in greater Jersey City today -- ack!)
	9:32am βrian: Oh, no. Things don't slow. They become frenetic. I mean, cold weather's coming!
	9:33am Mike Wolf: Joe, whose version of “Early Autumn” is this?
	9:34am melinda: @steveo that makes me feel better about the 85 degrees here in Maine. I don't mind it except for the fact that I already tossed my window fan because it was broken in a way that made it impossible to dissemble and clean.
	👻 9:34am karlward: Autumn makes me want to hear the Misfits covering Doris Day. Joy Division covering Doris Day is also acceptable.
	9:36am The Oscar: Mornin'! Back in my record store days we had to make handwritten placeholder cards for sealed CDs to put in the racks, and it became a game to quickly and accurately recreate the album covers on post-its. My two favorite people to draw were Chet Baker and Hank Williams; both had sharp features and beady eyes that were immensely satisfying.
	9:37am melinda: @Oscar haha
	9:40am Planet Tyler: Lee-away! Please!
	9:41am prudy: wow Joe...thanks for the LH. I can't get enough of him either...what a gem!
	9:41am Andrea in Jersey City: Me too! Time moving too fast!
	9:41am chrestii @coffee before work: Morning from Griffith Park
	9:42am Joe McG: @Tyler/prudy: I love Lee and these demos are so cool to hear!
	9:43am fleep: People play tennis at 6:42 in the morning? Show offs
	9:43am Rachel Bo Bachel: LOVE Lee Hazlewood- thank you Joe!!!
	9:44am Joe McG: @Andrea: Right? It just seems like time needs to SLOW DOWN.
	9:45am Brendan: I agree Joe. I am happy to live in a four seasons locale, but no other season takes the edge off and says cool like fall. Autumn. The other climate change. Ask for it by name.
	9:46am chrestii @coffee before work: fleep- as soon as there’s light in the sky. Also, tennis is free before 8
	9:47am Joe McG: @Rachel: My pleasure!
	9:47am steveo: Melinda -- it's supposed to be snowing already in Maine (my spouse is from Brunswick so I can make this joke :) Oh hey, also I had a nice moment listening to a (very good) Bethany archive over the weekend. That Terry Riley piece was on and thought it reminded me of some Who song and I checked the comment board and there you were mentioning Baba O'Riley, "but of course" and I was like haha me too.
	9:47am thea: Enjoying the idea of a crisp autumn morning here on the south coast of nowhere. I missed hearing the artist/title of the instrumental interlude between Doris and Lee as I was preparing my morning coffee...Thanks for the lovely sounds
	9:48am chrestii @coffee before work: 12:06 hours of daylight today
	9:48am pantz: LOVE this HDS album.
	9:49am listener 126464: Took the week off from job to enjoy the weather. Listening in Tinton Falls NJ thanks Joe
	9:50am Joe McG: Smart move, 126464. Glad I can be part of your vacay.
	9:50am erik: Joe, you're killing me this morning with these sad songs. Keep it up.
	9:50am Snoochienucci: this ones awesome
	9:51am Andrea in Jersey City: And just watch things grow! Well said, chap!!
	9:51am Joe McG: @erik: I'll lighten up as I go...probably! :)
	9:55am steveo: lovely wonderful set, Joe; thanks for being here
	9:57am Joe McG: Heya, Steve, thanks! @thea: That was Art Van Damme doing "Early Autumn." Glad you're tuned in.
	10:00am pantz: Fall brings Pennsylvania Honey Crisp apples, and I can get with that.
	10:06am morphe': Yeas!!! Lovele set!!!!
	10:07am βrian: A good apple is a remarkable thing. Oh joy.
	10:08am syerahkay: What a wonderful way to start my week :)
	10:09am Joe McG: So glad you guys can join me for today's excursion. :)
	10:09am Malcolm: This Sandro Perri is lovely
	10:13am Joe McG: I agree, Malcolm, I just heard it this morning and I'm enamored with it.
	10:14am morphe': Pollan's "BOTANY of DESIRE" [Intro attached] Has a great section on "the apple(s) and a great true history of THE Johnny Appleseed ( a real estate story!!!Too) the barefootedd, vegetarian entrepenauer(sp?) Great Marijuana section also...The sheriff delivering wood to his garden where he was growing weed...The whole book is great!! https://michaelpollan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/botany_of_desire_excerpt.pdf
	10:15am prudy: this Sandro Perri is wondrous!
	10:17am Brendan: This could have slid right in on Astral Weeks
	10:17am Joe McG: @Brendan: I think you've hit on some DNA there!
	10:19am steveo: And then there was this comment made by some reader named "Stu", saying that he liked what he was listening to but he got the feeling from the song that it was in the 70's and was "a little too "lonely" for today, although of course I was wrong. But I figured Stu was probably older than a lot of me and is like me, so I thought it was time to revisit Baba and I'm just going to give it a whirl. In any case, now you guys know why I like it so much.
	10:20am Joe McG: This song is doing what I want time to do. Expand instead of contract.
	👻 10:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Autumnal greetings, Joe and Surfies!
	10:24am Lixiviated Life: Life is good when you're filled with..... (what's that now?)
	10:27am SeanG: Great stuff Joe! hot damn
	10:31am People Like Us: I know Stephen Coates :)
	10:35am morphe': Ps> 2 hr PBS doc - Botany of desire.. https://archive.org/details/BotanyOfDesire2009
	10:36am coelacanth∅: good morning Joe and all
	10:36am Snoochienucci: yes!!!!!! a little Donny will always get me going
	10:36am Joe McG: @PLU: Cool! Tell him I like his records. :)
	10:36am pantz: I will definitely check that out Morphe.
	10:36am The Oscar: The Radio Rethink thumbnail for this Donovan is a poster for Bob Dylan's Don't Look Back, which feels like some supreme shade.
	👻 10:37am Hughie Considine: Back when you could reference a snail in the first line of your cool new song.
	10:37am Miles: wuts th flip side of "mountain"?
	10:37am Hugh: Drinking game: 6 pumpkin spice lagers every time someone says autumn. Hic.
	10:38am Joe McG: @Miles: "Sand and Foam." This 45 is in worse shape than I remembered! Sorry!
	10:38am Miles: of course Donavan is IN Don't Look Back
	10:38am steveo: a mountain of schmutz? (sounded good to me:)
	10:38am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ouch! Poor Don.
	10:39am Miles: it sounded fine . monophonic don'tcha know
	10:40am Joe McG: Glad to hear it, in my headphones it sounded super distorto.
	10:41am Brendan: I wonder which Warrior would win, that one or Scandal’s.
	👻 10:41am tadpoles: Donovan did redeem himself......and Joe there's nothing wrong with a little surface noise....patina to the great flavor!
	10:42am coelacanth∅: i have this one
	10:42am Miles: there's a cool promo film for this song.
	10:43am Joe McG: @tadpoles: That's a VERY good point!
	👻 10:43am tim from champaign: Hi Joe and everybody! Deep cut R. Stevie Moore (hee hee)
	10:44am pantz: Otherwise known as The Andrew Luck Theme (sorry)
	10:44am Krys O.: Had this on the Have a Nice Day box set.
	10:45am coelacanth∅: my mother hated that my older sister liked that song
	10:51am Listener Scott: This song contains echoes of Pulp's Common People
	10:53am Joe McG: @Scott: I can hear that, but it's a bit the other way around! Maybe Pulp was ripping them off. :)
	10:53am coelacanth∅: (and velvet underground's lady godiva's operation)
	10:54am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	10:55am βrian: Lets whistle.
	10:55am coelacanth∅: hey Phillippe
	10:56am melinda: Yay, John Prine. Don’t hear him much on FMU.
	10:57am Brendan: Fish and whistle. Very Mayberryesque
	11:01am Phillippe Bastille: hey coelacanth. looks like you beat me to the land of the living
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign: Whoa, I've never heard boogie rock Pink Fairies! Nice. This is a total Todd-O-Phonic jammer.
	11:03am coelacanth∅: been up since around 7:30. didn't need to be but this is my hell.
	11:05am Phillippe Bastille: Damn. I'd be more of a bastard than I already am on that little sleep
	11:06am melinda: Agree about the cornball, I like the live version better
	11:10am Lixiviated Life: schmutz can be ok but schmaltz? Never!
	11:11am Hubig Pie: Potato's fried in schmaltz are sublime
	11:13am Asheville Jon: YAY for Dot-Dash Radio!!!
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: @Lixiviated Life - what about Schlitz?
	11:16am prudy: whatever happened to Schlitz?
	11:17am pantz: or even a Schlimazel?
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign: Rod Stewart falls into my mental category of "musicians who have incredible songs and absolutely terrible songs". Bob Seger and Van Morrison are also in this category.
	11:18am Asheville Jon: "happened to Schlitz"? it's still brewed and sold.
	11:20am Asheville Jon: i mean if you mean the original, then you'll have to read their history.
	11:21am prudy: not around here (Schlitz)...I haven't seen it in many years....
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: BEHOLD! I am LATE. And yes. Larry Wallis, Rest In Pink. Also: hello.
	11:22am steveo: A guy named Gordon Huntley playing the pedal steel on Rod's Dylan cover. Huntley also played with Fairport Convention and on the track "Country Comfort" on Elton John's second album, Tumbleweed Connection, among others.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: my local pub had schlitz a few years ago, $1.50/can. one of the few cheap beers i like; but they stopped getting it.
	11:22am Joe McG: @steveo: Nice info!
	11:23am steveo: "His early playing career was with the Hawaiian Serenaders in 1959, for whom he played a triple neck Fender lap steel guitar. He converted this to a pedal steel by adding an accelerator pedal from a tractor connected with bicycle brake cable."
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign: I posted this on Stashu's show a few weeks ago but here's a hard hitting investigative journalism piece I wrote for a local rag about 10 years on the re-branded Schlitz: www.smilepolitely.com...
	11:24am coelacanth∅: i think Rod Stewart was mostly good and sometimes Excellent until a certain point in the 70s when he jumped on the disco bandwagon and mostly sucked from then on. several excellent albums.
	11:25am βrian: The farmers I knew would call that an "exhilarator" pedal. "It really makes 'er go."
	11:26am Marc Francis: @ tim from champaign: THANKS FOR THIS. I love and miss Schlitz!!!!
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My 3rd Nov. brother Bert. Wish I had everything by him.
	11:26am Joe McG: @coelacanth: I agree that the pickins get slimmer as the years go by. I love all of his Mercury stuff and the first couple of Atlantics and then it starts getting dicey.
	11:26am steveo: anyway, cool Joe, thanks. i enjoy learning about all those session folks.
	11:27am prudy: I love early R Stewart and his work with the Faces....
	👻 11:28am tim from champaign: No problem, Marc! I figured it was apropo of the conversation.
	11:30am Joe McG: @RR63: Bert re-recorded his hits a lot in later years, but in general the quality standard is of the highest no matter what era you choose.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even Rod's hits - worst thing is overexposure...& comparison to better stuff...
	11:31am Snoochienucci: love old Bert! Been playing "Fresh as a sweet sunday morning" with my one acoustic band, good times!
	11:31am Brendan: Hit me with some thistle snd shamrock
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Didn't Neil Young call him Hendrix if Acoustic.
	11:32am coelacanth∅: oh i didn't even know he was on atlantic. ("atlantic crossing" by any chance?!) but yes i love most of the mercury stuff.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Of Acoustic
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Bridget St John on Feeding Tube? Holy moly!
	11:33am yippie: the boys are in the bathroom pulling down their flies?
	11:33am Snoochienucci: Bert was a big influence on Donovan btw, hes the Burt in "Burts Blues"
	11:35am John from Florham park: What a beautiful song this is
	11:36am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Very true! A lot of dudes were in thrall to Bert back in the day.
	11:38am Joe McG: And reportedly many ladies as well. ;)
	11:38am morphe': This BSG at 70ish age old??? Amazing!!! Been to nights at The B Trotwood.. Anybody know Jason Collins of BathScene?
	11:41am Snoochienucci: @joeMcG ohh im sure some ladies as well
	11:41am Brendan: This somehow reminds me of XTC
	11:42am steveo: "I'm alright with this" [Honey Bear]
	11:44am Joe McG: If folks are in the Brooklyn area, be sure to catch Graham at Freddy's in Park Slope this weekend. He's playing there on Saturday, sure to be a treat.
	11:47am pantz: SUSS has a Vangelis vibe. I like.
	11:49am Brendan: The polls are not all in, but I’m calling this one early. This show is an all time great.
	11:51am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, Brendan! I had a lot of fun, as always.
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! Have a great week and I'll see you next week with Joey Molland from Badfinger.
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:56am morphe': Thanks Joe!!!!!!!
	11:56am Miles: I need more gospel 45s . the arrangements are so solid. no strings or horns
	11:57am Andrea in Jersey City: Great show as always
	11:57am coelacanth∅: Great program Joe Thanks!
	11:58am Andrea in Jersey City: Hope you find a forest or sea and watch stuff grow
	12:27pm Graham Brice: Thanks, Joe! Great show! Glad you could slip me in there! Once again I'm humbled by my company!

	9:24am Lixiviated Life: The end of summer and the coming frost the thinning trees and a hint of bare branches. the close of the regular baseball season and the inevitable collapse of the Mets. Oh Autumn, you are the season of loss.
	👻 9:25am karlward: Dope Keely Smith cut.

	9:36am The Oscar: Mornin'! Back in my record store days we had to make handwritten placeholder cards for sealed CDs to put in the racks, and it became a game to quickly and accurately recreate the album covers on post-its. My two favorite people to draw were Chet Baker and Hank Williams; both had sharp features and beady eyes that were immensely satisfying.
	9:37am melinda: @Oscar haha

	10:15am prudy: this Sandro Perri is wondrous!
	10:17am Brendan: This could have slid right in on Astral Weeks
	10:17am Joe McG: @Brendan: I think you've hit on some DNA there!
	10:19am steveo: And then there was this comment made by some reader named "Stu", saying that he liked what he was listening to but he got the feeling from the song that it was in the 70's and was "a little too "lonely" for today, although of course I was wrong. But I figured Stu was probably older than a lot of me and is like me, so I thought it was time to revisit Baba and I'm just going to give it a whirl. In any case, now you guys know why I like it so much.
	10:20am Joe McG: This song is doing what I want time to do. Expand instead of contract.

	10:36am pantz: I will definitely check that out Morphe.
	10:36am The Oscar: The Radio Rethink thumbnail for this Donovan is a poster for Bob Dylan's Don't Look Back, which feels like some supreme shade.

	10:37am Miles: wuts th flip side of "mountain"?
	10:37am Hugh: Drinking game: 6 pumpkin spice lagers every time someone says autumn. Hic.

	10:40am Joe McG: Glad to hear it, in my headphones it sounded super distorto.
	10:41am Brendan: I wonder which Warrior would win, that one or Scandal’s.

	10:44am Krys O.: Had this on the Have a Nice Day box set.
	10:45am coelacanth∅: my mother hated that my older sister liked that song
	10:51am Listener Scott: This song contains echoes of Pulp's Common People
	10:53am Joe McG: @Scott: I can hear that, but it's a bit the other way around! Maybe Pulp was ripping them off. :)
	10:53am coelacanth∅: (and velvet underground's lady godiva's operation)
	10:54am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	10:55am βrian: Lets whistle.
	10:55am coelacanth∅: hey Phillippe
	10:56am melinda: Yay, John Prine. Don’t hear him much on FMU.
	10:57am Brendan: Fish and whistle. Very Mayberryesque
	11:01am Phillippe Bastille: hey coelacanth. looks like you beat me to the land of the living
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign: Whoa, I've never heard boogie rock Pink Fairies! Nice. This is a total Todd-O-Phonic jammer.

	11:05am Phillippe Bastille: Damn. I'd be more of a bastard than I already am on that little sleep
	11:06am melinda: Agree about the cornball, I like the live version better
	11:10am Lixiviated Life: schmutz can be ok but schmaltz? Never!
	11:11am Hubig Pie: Potato's fried in schmaltz are sublime
	11:13am Asheville Jon: YAY for Dot-Dash Radio!!!
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: @Lixiviated Life - what about Schlitz?
	11:16am prudy: whatever happened to Schlitz?
	11:17am pantz: or even a Schlimazel?
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign: Rod Stewart falls into my mental category of "musicians who have incredible songs and absolutely terrible songs". Bob Seger and Van Morrison are also in this category.
	11:18am Asheville Jon: "happened to Schlitz"? it's still brewed and sold.
	11:20am Asheville Jon: i mean if you mean the original, then you'll have to read their history.
	11:21am prudy: not around here (Schlitz)...I haven't seen it in many years....
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: BEHOLD! I am LATE. And yes. Larry Wallis, Rest In Pink. Also: hello.
	11:22am steveo: A guy named Gordon Huntley playing the pedal steel on Rod's Dylan cover. Huntley also played with Fairport Convention and on the track "Country Comfort" on Elton John's second album, Tumbleweed Connection, among others.
	11:22am coelacanth∅: my local pub had schlitz a few years ago, $1.50/can. one of the few cheap beers i like; but they stopped getting it.
	11:22am Joe McG: @steveo: Nice info!
	11:23am steveo: "His early playing career was with the Hawaiian Serenaders in 1959, for whom he played a triple neck Fender lap steel guitar. He converted this to a pedal steel by adding an accelerator pedal from a tractor connected with bicycle brake cable."
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign: I posted this on Stashu's show a few weeks ago but here's a hard hitting investigative journalism piece I wrote for a local rag about 10 years on the re-branded Schlitz: www.smilepolitely.com...
	11:24am coelacanth∅: i think Rod Stewart was mostly good and sometimes Excellent until a certain point in the 70s when he jumped on the disco bandwagon and mostly sucked from then on. several excellent albums.
	11:25am βrian: The farmers I knew would call that an "exhilarator" pedal. "It really makes 'er go."
	11:26am Marc Francis: @ tim from champaign: THANKS FOR THIS. I love and miss Schlitz!!!!
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My 3rd Nov. brother Bert. Wish I had everything by him.
	11:26am Joe McG: @coelacanth: I agree that the pickins get slimmer as the years go by. I love all of his Mercury stuff and the first couple of Atlantics and then it starts getting dicey.
	11:26am steveo: anyway, cool Joe, thanks. i enjoy learning about all those session folks.
	11:27am prudy: I love early R Stewart and his work with the Faces....
	👻 11:28am tim from champaign: No problem, Marc! I figured it was apropo of the conversation.
	11:30am Joe McG: @RR63: Bert re-recorded his hits a lot in later years, but in general the quality standard is of the highest no matter what era you choose.
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even Rod's hits - worst thing is overexposure...& comparison to better stuff...
	11:31am Snoochienucci: love old Bert! Been playing "Fresh as a sweet sunday morning" with my one acoustic band, good times!
	11:31am Brendan: Hit me with some thistle snd shamrock
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Didn't Neil Young call him Hendrix if Acoustic.
	11:32am coelacanth∅: oh i didn't even know he was on atlantic. ("atlantic crossing" by any chance?!) but yes i love most of the mercury stuff.
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Of Acoustic
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Bridget St John on Feeding Tube? Holy moly!
	11:33am yippie: the boys are in the bathroom pulling down their flies?
	11:33am Snoochienucci: Bert was a big influence on Donovan btw, hes the Burt in "Burts Blues"
	11:35am John from Florham park: What a beautiful song this is
	11:36am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Very true! A lot of dudes were in thrall to Bert back in the day.
	11:38am Joe McG: And reportedly many ladies as well. ;)
	11:38am morphe': This BSG at 70ish age old??? Amazing!!! Been to nights at The B Trotwood.. Anybody know Jason Collins of BathScene?
