	♥ 9:13am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Joe McG @9:10 Hair metal is a guilty pleasure of mine. But for some of us of a certain age, it's more appropriate to call it thinning hair metal.

	♥ 9:49am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Triple G @9:44 As for Slaypril, I think we have to get Michele With 1 L on board, then it will be a done deal.
	♥ 9:51am fred: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @9:49 Slayer has one L too, should be an easy sell
	♥ 9:51am listener james from westwood: April Fool's Day = Assholes' Christmas.

	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ~
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Say No More" by "Real Estate" Who's thinking Fountains of Wayne ?
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Say No More" by "Real Estate" Well this is certainly jingling my jangles.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58am Triple G: Real Estate will be at Webster Hall on 4/18

	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: You play Wordle Joe?

	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Happy Wings" by "The Bevis Frond" He reminds me to dig out an old Ptolemaic Terrascope from way back.
	♥ 10:04am John L: ↳ Song: "Happy Wings" by "The Bevis Frond" I hope they tour the U.S. at some point; it's been awhile. I've been listening to The Bevis Frond for decades but this is the first time Nick's voice reminded me of Robert Wyatt.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Triple G: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:02 Connections is good too
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Rewind" by "Rosali" Rosali and Laelle Neal are playing on the same night, and I'm totally torn.
	♥ 10:05am chresti: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:51 Happy assholes' christmas!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am DjLorraine: (What out for the exhaust chimney )
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: ↳ John L @10:04 Now you mention it there is a tinge there.
	♥ 10:07am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 I'd love to have that problem (no, I'd hate it)
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Joe McG @10:03 Yes! Everyone likes it. Today's Wordle word is contained somewhere in your playlist, but I don't wanna ruin it for other Wordlers.
	10:08am Blix: This is like a lost Linda and Richard song.
	♥ 10:10am Joe McG: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:07 Wordle away, everyone!
	♥ 10:10am fred: ↳ Song: "Love We Had" by "Leyla McCalla" I met her once, she's a really nice person, makes your life better just by meeting her

	♥ 10:11am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Triple G @10:05 Love Connections!
	♥ 10:13am Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Cigarette Ash" by "Love Child" <3
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey everyone, I know we all just went through marathon but if anyone has some extra cash in their pockets that they desperately need to get rid of, my very dear friend Miranda needs a double lung transplant and could use some help. I hate asking, but I really do love Miranda so much and would like her to live to see 30 and this is for her 💜 gofund.me...
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am egould: ↳ Song: "Cigarette Ash" by "Love Child" Don’t overthink it. Just play a rock song. This is good.
	♥ 10:14am John L: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 They are both playing in the Hudson Valley soon: Rosali April 10 at the Everything Nice record store in Ellenville (a 3:00 instore) and Tubby's in Kingston that same night. Laelle Neale is at the Avalon in Catskill on April 14.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Enflod: Love Gedge's side project, the Ukrainians, that plays Ukrainian folk music. They have a Peel session, I believe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ John L @10:14 Nice, you can do both! I don't think we could get up there for either of those dates, consarnit.
	♥ 10:21am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @10:13 No harm in asking! Not contributing though, marathon left me with 100€ and my computer is dying. I'll contribute later (when/if the computer issue is solved), contact me through my profile, but I can't say when I can reply
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Zuck says you can buy a face cover that lets you do both. It's the future. www.morbotron.com...
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "We Only Hear the Bad Things People Say" by "The R... Liked this real good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am Karl: Joe, I'm really enjoying this show, so much so that I don't even mind that we missed another opportunity to hear surface nOIse (Joe's three hour exploration of gutter punk)
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Enflod: I thought it was the Kinks too at first!
	♥ 10:28am fred: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:22 I think Mark Hurst, Handy and I have different ideas for his face
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @10:28 I got a list going.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Punkin'" by "The April Fools" They bring out the pumpkin spice earlier and earlier every year.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Punkin'" by "The April Fools" Punkin sure sounds like someone I'd like to get to know better.
	♥ 10:33am Joe McG: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:32 Ha ha!
	♥ 10:35am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fool" by "Haircut One Hundred" Working title: "Not Love Plus One"
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fool" by "Haircut One Hundred" Haircut 100 had the best sweaters in pop music.
	♥ 10:35am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:32 Is it on google docs? Ducking
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am DjLorraine: I'm still waiting for the Arrakis spice.
	♥ 10:36am Phillippe: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 yet i wasn't really a fan of their haircuts
	10:36am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. Good bye.
	10:37am pmcWhenever: haircuts sweaters & saxYphones
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Phillippe @10:36 Good point. In retrospect, they should have been called Pullover 100.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fool" by "Haircut One Hundred" The Vegas odds: 7 to 1 -- Gentleman JoeMcG owns three copies of "Pelican West" and all the singles that were released from that LP.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:38 Pretty close, Mike! Just 2 copies and all the singles. :)
	♥ 10:40am Phillippe: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:38 agreed 100 percent
	10:42am greg g: Sounding great Joe!! Thanks again for straightening out my pledge !
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: ↳ greg g @10:42 Anytime, Greg!
	10:43am TerrDE: I thought rainy days and mondays were going to get her down when this started
	♥ 10:46am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Steve Allen Theme" by "The Bud Shank-Bob Cooper Q... I can't remember, was this the song they used on the TV show?
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:46 I think so! His show after he left the Tonight Show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Calcutta" by "Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra" Frank Scott...Tank you, boice...
	10:48am TerrDE: I remember when Steve played a lot of his tunes in a segment on his great afternoon show. The only one anyone recognized was "This Could be the Start of Something Big"
	10:48am Mich: Memories of Nana’s house 😄
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am love2laf: ↳ Song: "Calcutta" by "Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra" This guy had to have been known as Frank 'Funksichord' Scott.
	♥ 10:48am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Joe McG @10:47 I'm not sure. It came on in the late afternoon just before dinner.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Hey Joe and listeners!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "The Hayrick Song" by "Eddie Tenpole Tudor" Wunderbar!
	♥ 10:51am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TerrDE @10:48 Steve Allen always had great musical guests. I remember watching The Youngbloods doing Get Together.
	♥ 10:52am Roberto: ↳ Song: "(You Make Me Want to Be) A Mother" by "Tammy Wyne... This reminds me of an early '90s tabloid headline: Tammy Wynette -- Her Kids HATE Her."
	10:52am Andres: ↳ Song: "The Hayrick Song" by "Eddie Tenpole Tudor" Good morning. That one would’ve been totally perfect on a polka show. Great stuff.
	10:53am TerrDE: Steve did Acid back when it was actually Acid and legal, as part of the same study Dan Rather took part in.
	♥ 10:54am Asheville Jon: people out there turning music into GOLD
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: Oh John.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Prime example of an artist hating his big hit.
	♥ 10:55am common: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" totally forgot about this 'un.
	10:55am Drewid: Whoa. Haven’t heard this song since it first came out
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am chris_in_space: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" I never understood this single at the time, and I don't now. Still, I can't look away.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Mick: ↳ common @10:55 It has been a minute! A long minute...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Stevie really makes this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" It's a curiously good song. 1979 was a cornucopia of good music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Karl: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" I am jamming hard to this
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am egould: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" It’s been a long while since I’ve heard this. Like 45 years or so.
	10:57am TerrDE: right on the edge of Housewife Music. The boogie rhythm almost saves it
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Hughie Considine: That holding of a single note here is so Lindsey...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am newton: April Fool's gold
	10:58am Brendan: Ughhh
	10:58am Tim BK: Stevie Nicks is a bit like Michael McDonald, subtly overshadowing the other singer on every song they do back up or a duet on.
	♥ 10:59am common: ↳ Mick @10:56 it has, indeed
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Karl: ↳ Tim BK @10:58 I'm reading your comment in a purposefully half-enunciated falsetto, and it's perfect
	♥ 11:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TerrDE @10:53 I recently saw the interview Dan Rather did with Kathleen Hanna and Adam Horovitz.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Jim the Poet: You'd make a great dad, Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Well this is a new one to me
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am The Oscar: Didn't McLaren want Tenpole to replace Lydon when the Sex Pistols imploded?
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Hughie Considine: ↳ Tim BK @10:58 Good point. And like Michale McDonald, Stevie really straddled the rock and yacht rock worlds, duetting with Tom Petty and Kenny Loggins.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Karl: Right channel just mostly dropped out, a little bit of signal but it's distorted
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Jim the Poet: Suddenly mono?
	♥ 11:03am No Big Thing: Did the audio just go weird?
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: Steve Allen was also pretty dismissive of rock -- he did those bits where he read rock lyrics out loud to show how inane and low-culture they were.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Karl: Now both channels are back and normal
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Gregosaurus: ↳ No Big Thing @11:03 Right just dropped out
	♥ 11:03am Steve Del Sol: I used to see Lawrence Welk at the Johns Beach Boardwalk theater once in a while. He lived in Freeport on Long Island.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @11:03 Oh, OK, that wasn't just me?
	♥ 11:03am No Big Thing: ↳ No Big Thing @11:03 Ah, better now.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: back in stereo again
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Jim the Poet: And now we're back
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am love2laf: Always good to know there's sound issues that other people hear too. Yay, not a stroke!
	♥ 11:04am No Big Thing: ↳ love2laf @11:03 I very much feel this.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Hughie Considine: Robert Parker's follow-up, "Do the Clavicle," was an even bigger floop.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "(You Make Me Want to Be) A Mother" by "Tammy Wyne... Joe ... your "THAT'S something you don't want to hear." comment has us rolling in laughter here.
	11:05am TerrDE: channel problems a lot on FMU, Clay won't believe its happening
	11:06am Brendan: The discussion of Gold evokes Patrick Bateman's monologues discussing Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, and Huey Lewis.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Gregosaurus: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:04 Osteopaths loved it, tho...
	11:07am TerrDE: Rockford comes to mind. Hill Street ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Karl: That Nadia guest host spot is going to be the best
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am love2laf: ↳ No Big Thing @11:04 Solidarity! Hope neither of us ever has that conversation with EMS, "I waited to call 911 to see if it was just WFMU issues"
	♥ 11:08am No Big Thing: I missed it--when is NN guest hosting? My kiddo will want to know.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Triple G: It's the Third Hour of Bananas, NOW on Surface Noise with Joe McGasko! 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
	🎸 ♥ 11:08am Triple G: ↳ No Big Thing @11:08 Nadia will be co-hosting on Seven Second Delay this Wednesday at 7 PM ET
	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: ↳ No Big Thing @11:08 Wed night on 7SD, 6pm sharp.
	11:09am Dean: Man and Greasy Truckers, fantastic!
	♥ 11:09am herb.nyc: haha, joe mentioned 7SD. last wk's was fun, and next day, i skimmed an article in new york mag and a guy mentioned lying to his therapist. and andy's remark about visiting yr car mechanic came to me, and i started laughing.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am Triple G: Whoops, indeed, 6 PM ET
	♥ 11:12am Stanley: ↳ Dean @11:09 What Dean said. With knobs on!
	♥ 11:13am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" This jam reminds me of Donna the Buffalo!
	11:14am J&E in Ithaca NY: This song is like four sticks of juicy fruit gum, hitting your mouth all at once. Amazing.
	11:14am Johnny Shanks: Great song, thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:14am No Big Thing: ↳ Joe McG @11:09 Thank you!
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" One of those bands I remember seeing in countless cutout bins & had no idea who they were.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: ↳ J&E in Ithaca NY @11:14 Now that's how we write about music! :) Perfectly put.
	11:16am J&E in Ithaca NY: Ha! Thanks, Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Karl: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" Here for boogie breakdowns
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" When does Stevie Nicks appear in the song?
	11:17am Yes: 😎
	11:18am Brendan: Allmanish
	11:18am TerrDE: me too Gregosaur. the crappy name didn't help
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: I was positive that Man used the Mad magazine font but was wrong -- there was a band that did that though...
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: This song definitely makes me hungry for a banana.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @11:16 She just spins in this one
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am Hughie Considine: These guys were high on potassium when they played this.
	11:19am Dean: Man did use the Mad font on Slow Motion. One of the best album covers ever, their live album with John Cipollina, Maximum Darkness.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @11:18 I think they eat peaches, not bananas.
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:19 But you've got to admit, they've got a certain apeel.
	11:20am Dean: Close-up of Cipollina's SG.
	♥ 11:20am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" Jeez, Deke Leonard jut goes nuts on this

	♥ 11:21am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" 🍌🍌🍌 🙉
	11:22am Brendan: They should've done a Peel session.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Brendan @11:22 Zing!
	11:23am Dean: Too bad they split up. Speaking of which, one must hear The Neutrons (two albums) and Alkatraz (one), all featuring former Man folks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Banana Rock" by "The Wombles" I have no doubt whatsoever that Joe McGasko could devote an entire set to banana songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Banana Rock" by "The Wombles" 2 banana songs in a row. Can "Banana Boat Song" be far behind? Or the theme from Banana Splits?
	11:24am Dean: Dickies, "Banana Splits"?

	11:26am Officer Pupp: Mike Batt had the sweetest gig in the world. Unlimited access to studios and musicians and a seemingly free hand - the only stipulation: put The Wombles in there somewhere.
	♥ 11:26am StringOFperils: Royal Trux . Banana Question.....on second thought....maybe not. This is a family show
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park: Alvin!

	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JoeMcG ...a regular John Banana Peel...
	11:27am Andres: This is the Chipmunks that has stuck with me through the decades.
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am Gregosaurus: ↳ Roberto @11:26 I'm guessing they were HUGE in Japan.
	11:27am P-90: poor Dave, he can’t get a break
	♥ 11:27am Clincher16": ↳ Song: "Japanese Banana" by "The Chipmunks" This is the one with Stevie Nicks, right...?

	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Gregosaurus: ↳ Clincher16" @11:27 One can dream.
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Clincher16" @11:27 ...Slip On My Face SteveiNicks...
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Hughie Considine: ↳ Clincher16" @11:27 She was everywhere for awhile there.
	11:28am Dean: Your thinking of "Rhiana," Clincher16".
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Japanese Banana" by "The Chipmunks" Laughed out loud at "Alvin, did you HAVE to do that?" Dave is horrified by the Chipmunks' racism.
	♥ 11:28am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Japanese Banana" by "The Chipmunks" And a mere 16 years after we blew the mutha up!
	♥ 11:28am lynxcat: Alvin, you disrespectful little cur!
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am love2laf: Joe has gone bananas! I'm here for it :)

	🎸 ♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:37 And it seems like Rachel Bo Bachel should show up.
	🎸 ♥ 11:38am DjLorraine: I think Banana Phone song is a bit cheesy for this show

	🎸 ♥ 10:03am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Happy Wings" by "The Bevis Frond" He reminds me to dig out an old Ptolemaic Terrascope from way back.
	♥ 10:04am John L: ↳ Song: "Happy Wings" by "The Bevis Frond" I hope they tour the U.S. at some point; it's been awhile. I've been listening to The Bevis Frond for decades but this is the first time Nick's voice reminded me of Robert Wyatt.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Triple G: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @10:02 Connections is good too
	🎸 ♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Rewind" by "Rosali" Rosali and Laelle Neal are playing on the same night, and I'm totally torn.

I hate asking, but I really do love Miranda so much and would like her to live to see 30 and this is for her 💜 gofund.me...
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am egould: ↳ Song: "Cigarette Ash" by "Love Child" Don’t overthink it. Just play a rock song. This is good.
	♥ 10:14am John L: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 They are both playing in the Hudson Valley soon: Rosali April 10 at the Everything Nice record store in Ellenville (a 3:00 instore) and Tubby's in Kingston that same night. Laelle Neale is at the Avalon in Catskill on April 14.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Enflod: Love Gedge's side project, the Ukrainians, that plays Ukrainian folk music. They have a Peel session, I believe.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ John L @10:14 Nice, you can do both! I don't think we could get up there for either of those dates, consarnit.
	♥ 10:21am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @10:13 No harm in asking! Not contributing though, marathon left me with 100€ and my computer is dying. I'll contribute later (when/if the computer issue is solved), contact me through my profile, but I can't say when I can reply
	🎸 ♥ 10:22am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Zuck says you can buy a face cover that lets you do both. It's the future. www.morbotron.com...
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "We Only Hear the Bad Things People Say" by "The R... Liked this real good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am Karl: Joe, I'm really enjoying this show, so much so that I don't even mind that we missed another opportunity to hear surface nOIse (Joe's three hour exploration of gutter punk)
	🎸 ♥ 10:28am Enflod: I thought it was the Kinks too at first!
	♥ 10:28am fred: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:22 I think Mark Hurst, Handy and I have different ideas for his face
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @10:28 I got a list going.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Punkin'" by "The April Fools" They bring out the pumpkin spice earlier and earlier every year.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Punkin'" by "The April Fools" Punkin sure sounds like someone I'd like to get to know better.

	♥ 10:35am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:32 Is it on google docs? Ducking
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am DjLorraine: I'm still waiting for the Arrakis spice.
	♥ 10:36am Phillippe: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:35 yet i wasn't really a fan of their haircuts
	10:36am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Joe and Everyone. Good bye.
	10:37am pmcWhenever: haircuts sweaters & saxYphones
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Hughie Considine: ↳ Phillippe @10:36 Good point. In retrospect, they should have been called Pullover 100.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fool" by "Haircut One Hundred" The Vegas odds: 7 to 1 -- Gentleman JoeMcG owns three copies of "Pelican West" and all the singles that were released from that LP.
	♥ 10:40am Joe McG: ↳ Mike Sin @10:38 Pretty close, Mike! Just 2 copies and all the singles. :)
	♥ 10:40am Phillippe: ↳ Hughie Considine @10:38 agreed 100 percent

	10:43am TerrDE: I thought rainy days and mondays were going to get her down when this started
	♥ 10:46am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Steve Allen Theme" by "The Bud Shank-Bob Cooper Q... I can't remember, was this the song they used on the TV show?
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:46 I think so! His show after he left the Tonight Show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Calcutta" by "Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra" Frank Scott...Tank you, boice...
	10:48am TerrDE: I remember when Steve played a lot of his tunes in a segment on his great afternoon show. The only one anyone recognized was "This Could be the Start of Something Big"
	10:48am Mich: Memories of Nana’s house 😄
	🎸 ♥ 10:48am love2laf: ↳ Song: "Calcutta" by "Lawrence Welk and His Orchestra" This guy had to have been known as Frank 'Funksichord' Scott.
	♥ 10:48am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Joe McG @10:47 I'm not sure. It came on in the late afternoon just before dinner.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Hey Joe and listeners!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "The Hayrick Song" by "Eddie Tenpole Tudor" Wunderbar!
	♥ 10:51am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TerrDE @10:48 Steve Allen always had great musical guests. I remember watching The Youngbloods doing Get Together.
	♥ 10:52am Roberto: ↳ Song: "(You Make Me Want to Be) A Mother" by "Tammy Wyne... This reminds me of an early '90s tabloid headline: Tammy Wynette -- Her Kids HATE Her."
	10:52am Andres: ↳ Song: "The Hayrick Song" by "Eddie Tenpole Tudor" Good morning. That one would’ve been totally perfect on a polka show. Great stuff.
	10:53am TerrDE: Steve did Acid back when it was actually Acid and legal, as part of the same study Dan Rather took part in.
	♥ 10:54am Asheville Jon: people out there turning music into GOLD
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am Brian in UK: Oh John.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Prime example of an artist hating his big hit.
	♥ 10:55am common: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" totally forgot about this 'un.
	10:55am Drewid: Whoa. Haven’t heard this song since it first came out
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am chris_in_space: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" I never understood this single at the time, and I don't now. Still, I can't look away.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Mick: ↳ common @10:55 It has been a minute! A long minute...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Stevie really makes this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" It's a curiously good song. 1979 was a cornucopia of good music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am Karl: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" I am jamming hard to this
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am egould: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" It’s been a long while since I’ve heard this. Like 45 years or so.
	10:57am TerrDE: right on the edge of Housewife Music. The boogie rhythm almost saves it
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Hughie Considine: That holding of a single note here is so Lindsey...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am newton: April Fool's gold
	10:58am Brendan: Ughhh
	10:58am Tim BK: Stevie Nicks is a bit like Michael McDonald, subtly overshadowing the other singer on every song they do back up or a duet on.
	♥ 10:59am common: ↳ Mick @10:56 it has, indeed
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Karl: ↳ Tim BK @10:58 I'm reading your comment in a purposefully half-enunciated falsetto, and it's perfect
	♥ 11:00am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TerrDE @10:53 I recently saw the interview Dan Rather did with Kathleen Hanna and Adam Horovitz.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am Jim the Poet: You'd make a great dad, Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Gold" by "John Stewart" Well this is a new one to me
	🎸 ♥ 11:01am The Oscar: Didn't McLaren want Tenpole to replace Lydon when the Sex Pistols imploded?
	🎸 ♥ 11:02am Hughie Considine: ↳ Tim BK @10:58 Good point. And like Michale McDonald, Stevie really straddled the rock and yacht rock worlds, duetting with Tom Petty and Kenny Loggins.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Karl: Right channel just mostly dropped out, a little bit of signal but it's distorted
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Jim the Poet: Suddenly mono?
	♥ 11:03am No Big Thing: Did the audio just go weird?
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: Steve Allen was also pretty dismissive of rock -- he did those bits where he read rock lyrics out loud to show how inane and low-culture they were.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Karl: Now both channels are back and normal
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Gregosaurus: ↳ No Big Thing @11:03 Right just dropped out
	♥ 11:03am Steve Del Sol: I used to see Lawrence Welk at the Johns Beach Boardwalk theater once in a while. He lived in Freeport on Long Island.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @11:03 Oh, OK, that wasn't just me?
	♥ 11:03am No Big Thing: ↳ No Big Thing @11:03 Ah, better now.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Hughie Considine: back in stereo again
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am Jim the Poet: And now we're back
	🎸 ♥ 11:03am love2laf: Always good to know there's sound issues that other people hear too. Yay, not a stroke!
	♥ 11:04am No Big Thing: ↳ love2laf @11:03 I very much feel this.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Hughie Considine: Robert Parker's follow-up, "Do the Clavicle," was an even bigger floop.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "(You Make Me Want to Be) A Mother" by "Tammy Wyne... Joe ... your "THAT'S something you don't want to hear." comment has us rolling in laughter here.
	11:05am TerrDE: channel problems a lot on FMU, Clay won't believe its happening
	11:06am Brendan: The discussion of Gold evokes Patrick Bateman's monologues discussing Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, and Huey Lewis.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am Gregosaurus: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:04 Osteopaths loved it, tho...
	11:07am TerrDE: Rockford comes to mind. Hill Street ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am Karl: That Nadia guest host spot is going to be the best
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am love2laf: ↳ No Big Thing @11:04 Solidarity! Hope neither of us ever has that conversation with EMS, "I waited to call 911 to see if it was just WFMU issues"
	♥ 11:08am No Big Thing: I missed it--when is NN guest hosting? My kiddo will want to know.

	♥ 11:09am Joe McG: ↳ No Big Thing @11:08 Wed night on 7SD, 6pm sharp.
	11:09am Dean: Man and Greasy Truckers, fantastic!
	♥ 11:09am herb.nyc: haha, joe mentioned 7SD. last wk's was fun, and next day, i skimmed an article in new york mag and a guy mentioned lying to his therapist. and andy's remark about visiting yr car mechanic came to me, and i started laughing.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09am Triple G: Whoops, indeed, 6 PM ET
	♥ 11:12am Stanley: ↳ Dean @11:09 What Dean said. With knobs on!
	♥ 11:13am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" This jam reminds me of Donna the Buffalo!
	11:14am J&E in Ithaca NY: This song is like four sticks of juicy fruit gum, hitting your mouth all at once. Amazing.
	11:14am Johnny Shanks: Great song, thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:14am No Big Thing: ↳ Joe McG @11:09 Thank you!
	🎸 ♥ 11:14am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" One of those bands I remember seeing in countless cutout bins & had no idea who they were.
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: ↳ J&E in Ithaca NY @11:14 Now that's how we write about music! :) Perfectly put.
	11:16am J&E in Ithaca NY: Ha! Thanks, Joe
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Karl: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" Here for boogie breakdowns
	🎸 ♥ 11:16am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" When does Stevie Nicks appear in the song?
	11:17am Yes: 😎
	11:18am Brendan: Allmanish
	11:18am TerrDE: me too Gregosaur. the crappy name didn't help
	🎸 ♥ 11:18am Hughie Considine: I was positive that Man used the Mad magazine font but was wrong -- there was a band that did that though...
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: This song definitely makes me hungry for a banana.
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am DjLorraine: ↳ Edgar from Maine @11:16 She just spins in this one
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am Hughie Considine: These guys were high on potassium when they played this.
	11:19am Dean: Man did use the Mad font on Slow Motion. One of the best album covers ever, their live album with John Cipollina, Maximum Darkness.
	♥ 11:20am Joe McG: ↳ Brendan @11:18 I think they eat peaches, not bananas.
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:19 But you've got to admit, they've got a certain apeel.
	11:20am Dean: Close-up of Cipollina's SG.
	♥ 11:20am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" Jeez, Deke Leonard jut goes nuts on this
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am Hughie Considine: ↳ Dean @11:19 ah, ok - thanks!
	11:20am TerrDE: this is pretty good, do you wish you spent the dollar ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am listener 126464: ↳ Dean @11:19 Cover art by Rick Griffin.
	♥ 11:20am lynxcat: This sounds like 1972-1973 Dead
	♥ 11:21am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Bananas" by "Man" 🍌🍌🍌 🙉
	11:22am Brendan: They should've done a Peel session.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Brendan @11:22 Zing!
	11:23am Dean: Too bad they split up. Speaking of which, one must hear The Neutrons (two albums) and Alkatraz (one), all featuring former Man folks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Banana Rock" by "The Wombles" I have no doubt whatsoever that Joe McGasko could devote an entire set to banana songs.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Banana Rock" by "The Wombles" 2 banana songs in a row. Can "Banana Boat Song" be far behind? Or the theme from Banana Splits?
	11:24am Dean: Dickies, "Banana Splits"?
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am paddy in matawan: bananas and blow
	🎸 ♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: This set feels like subtle punishment for having forgotten my breakfast orange today.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Gregosaurus: ↳ Song: "Banana Rock" by "The Wombles" Never knew the Wombles had a Caribbean phase. Still picking up litter tho, which is nice.
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am The Oscar: No idea if it's anywhere online, but National Lampoon did a pretty solid Donovan parody called "Nirvana Banana" in the '70s.
	11:26am Officer Pupp: Mike Batt had the sweetest gig in the world. Unlimited access to studios and musicians and a seemingly free hand - the only stipulation: put The Wombles in there somewhere.
	♥ 11:26am StringOFperils: Royal Trux . Banana Question.....on second thought....maybe not. This is a family show
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am Ken From Hyde Park: Alvin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Japanese Banana" by "The Chipmunks" I defy anyone to find even ONE radio station other than WFMU who's played this.
