Cat Stevens = Yusuf Islam. Don't forget his fatwa against Salman Rushdie...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm Charlie:

hi schmutz -- no snow day for busy doing nothing!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm Charlie:

hi LOT -- i only play pre-fatwa cat

Musician is asshole. Dog bites man.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:07pm Charlie:

Hi Gaylord! There is the man and there is the music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:07pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Apologies for my lateness.

Good afternoon, Charlie

Charlie: So, Hitler was a halfway decent painter? Sorry, I just have a tough time with the guy...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:09pm doctorjazz:

Gotta psych for doing something, some snow clearing, fine sounds should be good company.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Sun day here in West Toronto, sorry.

It will pass.
  12:12pm Listening Out There:

HBD, Judy! Yesterday happened to be my birthday. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm Gaylord Fields:

Hi there, Charlie! I agree: We all have to make choices about the level of comfort we have in an artist's extracurricular life. Me, I'll steer clear of any Cat Stevens songs about persecuting Rushdie. YMMV.
  12:12pm jan:

Here for now- was out shoveling snow two times already! If this keeps up, I'll be going for a walk
and coming back to the archives....
Avatar 12:13pm mauri:

greetings, sugarwolf!
Avatar 12:41pm still b/p:

Going out for first round of shoveling soon, then rewarding self with grilled cheese when I come back in. Didn't Conan include grilled cheese in his list of what is best? "Crush your enemies..." etc.?
Avatar 12:42pm still b/p:

Jerry! Jerry is best!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:44pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Jerry Vale, who knew.

Take a bow!

Full value. Many thanks.

That and aphrodisiacs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:17pm melinda:

My snow shovel is about to bite the dust. Bad timing!
Avatar ♥ 1:19pm βrian:

Bright, clear skies over the isthmus.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:22pm Charlie:

I wish I had an isthmus.
  1:23pm Andy S.:

Really enjoying the show today, Charlie!

  1:36pm jan:

Charlie! what are you playing? Human Skab! That's Irwin territory... comparable to Amanda! Please don't!
Avatar ♥ 1:37pm annie:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:39pm melinda:

I liked Human Skab
Avatar 1:39pm ndbob:

Avatar ♥ 1:40pm annie:

i think it had to be dr corey who turned me onto the joys of non-sensical berbiage, and then there was archie bumker, bless his heart
Avatar ♥ 1:41pm annie:

hi ndbob!! pay no attention to the typist for the above typed comment.
  1:45pm KatyaOddio:

So great to hear you, Charlie! Taking the day off on a Thursday has a fun perk.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:46pm Andy in Etobicoke:

Professor Irwin Corey is vastly underrated.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:47pm listener james from westwood:

What?! How did I miss the Prof dying?! No wonder Kliph Nesteroff was posting a lot about him on Twitter.
Avatar 1:47pm ndbob:

heya Annie!!

Avatar 1:52pm still b/p:

Thank the snowgods for this fluffy light easy-to-move stuff. My shovel, too, has been threatening to fail through two or three years of still working with its unstable blade.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:53pm Parq:

Window seat?

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:53pm Charlie:

We have three shovels.

And a snowblower...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:54pm Parq:

James at 1:47. 'Fraid so. 102. Would that we all could have such a life.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:55pm Charlie:

Hi Parq!
Great clip, great movie:)
Avatar 1:55pm ndbob:

excellent show Charlie!
Avatar 1:59pm still b/p:

A friend is in a local stage production of A&OL right now. Trying to decide if I'll go. Some kind of weird bias. NEVER saw the movie though plenty of such older movies are my favorites, and never saw any of the countless stage productions -- someone's always doing it again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:00pm listener james from westwood:

Danke, Charlie! Stay warm!
  2:01pm KatyaOddio:

Thanks again, Charlie! Cheers!
Avatar 2:01pm Michael:

Well done Charlie. And thanks for the IC. And when shoveling, lift with your legs!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:02pm Charlie:

Thanks for throwing open wide your windows to me today!
