	11:08am Squints: This is how good they were: What Is The Reason was relegated to B side.
	11:08am clarke: and you claimed you didn't work blue.

	11:28am phat in lincoln: Good morning!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's this one doc JohnSebastian makes a point about TheRascal's relevance. I guess LittleSteven got into it @ close range with them & locked horns re the Theatrical thing... I always think of the clips in which their drummer is twirling sticks between beats - a little ahead of the curve for the 1960s like that ?...
	11:29am ?: free people are armed who disarms societies? polpothitlerstalinmaoetc tyrants disarm people and kill them HISTORY. you city people love to sit in boxes gun free zones and be shot. chicago? how's that going? criminals are armed either way. history
	11:29am Don Gorden: YO MIKE!
	11:29am myron feld: I've followed the Sheik for years. "GFY" (spelled out) is one of his main points. He's a riot!
	11:30am clarke: see whawt i mean about the iron sheik under=estimating it?
	11:30am Frank In Queens: No one asked you your opinion, "?".
	11:32am Hubig Pie: Satre had the right equation - hell is other people
	11:32am clarke: HP!! sappnin'?
	11:33am Frank In Queens: You Better Run b/w Love Is A Beautiful Thing is my fave Young Rascals single. Hands down!
	11:33am dano59: Ben Vaughn! kudos to Michael
	11:33am Frank In Queens: Double A side for sure.
	11:34am clarke: it's a winner spinner, Frank! when is your Drop-In btw??
	11:34am Squints: Did-did-did-did-its almost always improve any song.
	11:34am Frank In Queens: @clarke June 11th.
	11:34am Hubig Pie: clarke - coffee time and tendin' to the critters
	11:35am Squints: I love the organ break in the middle of Love Is A Beautiful Thing.
	11:35am clarke: i'll be there, maaan!!
	11:35am PaulRobeson1922: I’ll be there, in just a little while
	11:35am Squints: Kinda Pezbandy harmonies here.
	11:36am clarke: @HP - who has more critters? you or Handy?
	11:38am dano59: Are them Rascals in the HoF? (nyit that it matterss)
	11:38am clarke: believe it or not, handclaps are very difficult to record correctly!!
	11:39am Hubig Pie: clarke, current inventory is two kitties but we babysittin' sister -in-law's dog. Soon we should have our 2 macaws back. They spent the winter with the in law.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @dano, since 1997
	11:39am clarke: Wow: Wild Kinkdom West!!
	11:39am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Dennis, Clarke, Frank, HyperD, Handy, holiday Bagpipe, everybody!!
	11:40am dano59: ? - have you even been to Chicago? or is it too dark for you
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ? who said anything about disarming - you anonymous coward
	11:40am clarke: jaaaaack
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Hey there Jack
	11:41am clarke: DD = Dino Daneli DD = Dennis Diken coincidence? i think not!!
	11:42am clarke: (also: ? thinks NOT!)
	11:43am dano59: It’s the slippery slope / “freedom” argument every time. Plus the crazy conspiracy theories have been spinning about the Uvalde cops being in on it. Gun nuts are shameful.
	11:45am dano59: clarke: plus David Dunham in Unbreakable. alliterative names - It’s a classic superhero trope.
	11:45am clarke: supah!!
	11:46am Dennis Diken: @HyperDose @Hoboken Jack - hey dudes! @clarke - bless your heart!! I surely listened to The Rascals when I was learning to play and Dino has always been one of my mainest of men!
	11:47am clarke: i figured! i got to see Daneli with an early Disciples Of Soul tour - unreal.
	11:48am PaulRobeson1922: Syracuse!!! Spring has just begun up there
	11:50am clarke: sounds like there is an organ playing in the background for felix??
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just about every angle on Gun Control - better background checks, prohibiting automatic weapons, you name it - has upwards of 75% popular support. After the - there's no other word for it - atrocities this week (gradeschool victims needing to be identified with DNA &tc.) - I rather doubt that is going to go down. Now - you know & I know & everybody knows the USA is the only Nation with this problem like this. The NRA was DonaldDrumpf's largest contributor. It's not rhetoric that NRA is responsible for the lies & the bloodshed. People are deathly afraid to walk the street - to send their tiny children to school. We are in no mood, Sir, for justifications that are no more or less than obstructions to just simply having fewer guns.
	11:50am Katsura: Hi!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FelixC's energy is apparent in his very voice.
	11:51am swivs: It's still about $3000 for a Hammond B3 on Reverb, usually 2K for the Leslie, but they're always "pick uo only" for some reason...🤔
	11:52am clarke: there was a portable B-3 by Hammond and Fender made a portable leslie speaker (i played in a short-lived band called The Portable Leslies).
	11:53am PaulRobeson1922: Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, gonna lay down my sword and shield! Down by the riverside…
	11:54am swivs: clarke: I bought the new Leslie 3300 last year. Took forever to arrive. It screams, but all told, the digital stuff cost about the same as the real deal; I guess you just save money on chiropractic bills later...
	11:54am PaulRobeson1922: Nice interview! gotta get in the car and drive now. I’ll be GListening all the way
	11:54am clarke: sorry: the portable hammond was, i think, called the B-2?? some other model.
	11:55am clarke: @swivs - same deal with the Nord keyboards who get that Hammond sound "good enough" without killing your roadies.
	11:56am Squints: Heh. B-2. Stealth Hammond.
	11:56am greg g: @ Rev Rabbit: Well said & Good Morning Everyone
	11:57am HyperDose: Morning, Jack!
	11:57am clarke: yeah Squints: it has these pull-out metal legs that fold up into the body of the beast. it's cool! and sounds great.
	11:58am clarke: but, still... despite the "portable-ness" of those two pieces, it is STILL a lot to lift!
	11:58am swivs: @clarke - ha, yeah. I went and got the Hammond Sk-1 (wonder what Casio thought of that) after years of using a Nord electro 2. The tactile nature of the drawbars versus the buttons on the Nord is nice.
	11:59am clarke: oh sure of course - but it sure doesn't travel as good!
	12:00pm swivs: 88 keys is tough to lug, anyway you slice it.
	12:01pm clarke: another band i played with lugged a B-3 around in its early days. we cut the bottom off of it (didn't work anyway). finally, i talked them into the nord.
	12:02pm phat in lincoln: Satchitananda was Alice Coltrane's guru, too, among others.
	12:05pm clarke: Swivs, do you have the bass pedal unit for the SK?
	12:05pm HyperDose: I'm a fan of the 64 key controller myself, Mr Swivs 🎩
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom Dowd - Atlantic Records...
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Why has no one separated Keys into two 44Key units ??...
	12:07pm Mike East: I always recommend the Hammond XK5 dual manual with the Leslie 3300....much more reliable than a B3 and 122...which is why we always send a spare.
	12:07pm Mike Sin: Great interview! Such prime questions.
	12:07pm swivs: @clarke I still have my old Nord. I think I might pop it open and spray paint it black or something...
	12:08pm clarke: red is cool!!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimi shocked the Brit players - partly because they'd learned off records - didn't know how it looked !
	12:09pm swivs: Yeah, the red is definitely cool. I have a red Farfisa too. But imagine seeing some strange looking "mystery keyboard" on stage? You could just write "CLARKE" in the Nord lettering... haha
	12:09pm clarke: (i have an old nord, as well - still great)
	12:09pm jmd: ANOTHER great Michael Shelley interview. Whatta blast! Thanks.
	12:10pm clarke: ha ha - the nord matches my red AceTone!
	12:10pm swivs: 🎶I see a red a red Nord and I want to paint it black...🎶
	12:11pm clarke: paint it black, you devil!
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is going real fast. Or maybe it's my attentionspan this A.M.
	12:11pm Mike East: The nord in my basement is in need of repair :(
	12:12pm clarke: mike - if Prof Fuzz comes around - ask him about it!
	12:12pm swivs: @Mike East: YouTube it! I was paying Main Drag $300 for $12 worth of work. Definitely see if you can DIY first.
	12:12pm clarke: Fuzz is actually headed to NYC this or next week!
	12:13pm clarke: bring your Nord to the Prof.Fuzz'63 show!!
	12:14pm Mike East: @swivz...where I work has a shop with guys who know what they're doing (which I'm grateful for)....we've just been so slammed I haven't dared put it on their shop bench. I'll wait for the slow season.
	12:14pm Tim from LH: This is a fantastic interview! Love Felix!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Really enjoying this talk. prof.fuzz is here Wednesday, clarke, playing with K8's band and Psych-o-Positive in Brooklyn!
	12:14pm clarke: wish i could see all dat!!
	12:16pm swivs: Dose! the 62-64 key is definitely easier transport. I have the Nord backpack case for mine. People on the subway LOVED me.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: "Please reserve these seats for the elderly, disabled persons, and Nord players."
	12:18pm clarke: another fantasmic interview!! fun-powered!! a to b!!!!
	12:19pm Mike East: Great interview!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems completely forthcoming - great!
	12:19pm myron feld: "That's where I live, man!" Great line.
	12:19pm Squints: Heh. Turn to answer a question and inadvertently take out three straphangers on the other side.
	12:19pm Panther: Phenomenal interview. Really!!!
	12:19pm swivs: Just wanted to mention; I saw Felix & The Rascals a few years back in Yonkers, at a summer festival, and they blew everyone away.
	12:20pm Mike East: My guru was his guru's assistant
	12:20pm Moammar: Felix is a walking advertisement for gurus.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: Great great interview!
	12:20pm phat in lincoln: Another great interview Michael.
	12:20pm swivs: Nice one. have a great weekend, you maniacs. ❤️
	12:21pm myron feld: Tom Dowd knew what he was doing. This record is on fire.
	12:21pm phat in lincoln: Dino Danelli was nuts, wasn't he?
	12:21pm Hoboken Jack: Terrific interview, Michael! He seemed like a really good guy.
	12:21pm clarke: swivs - lift with the knees!!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: So great to hear Felix on your show. The Rascals are such an important band to FMU's broadcast radius and beyond.
	12:22pm clarke: good nutz, phat!! where's your phuzz photo?
	12:22pm Mike East: This song was on the first mix tape I ever made
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom Dowd documentary : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: They had a BAND?
	12:23pm jmd: Great restraint not adding bongo-feet on Good Lovin’
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @jmd, you don't fuck with perfection.
	12:25pm HyperDose: @Swivs Maybe you'll make it onto the Subway Creatures insta page one day!
	12:28pm jmd: Right there in the fermata? Perfect place for them!
	12:29pm phat in lincoln: @clarke soon! I've had a ridiculous week.
	12:29pm clarke: well... we're waiting!!!
	12:30pm clarke: (ted knight voice)
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Barba Yiorgi is the best! He was in Anaboboula, the Greek folk-rock band, and is in Elgin Marbles with Dave Mandl. We're taking off soon for Montclair and the Porchistas' festival. Anyone else coming? theporchistas.bandcamp.com...
	12:31pm clarke: have the Fun, HH!! let todd know i won't be around this afternoon, if you chat.
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: HH - I wish, but headed out of town in 27 minutes...
	12:32pm Mike tp: in on girls on grass..hot tune.
	12:33pm clarke: where ya headed MS??
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Hoping the rain stops as we get there!
	12:34pm Claire from Montclair: Handy, I’m planning to go later!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, this tune.
	12:35pm Einstraus: "CUB"! Listening to Cub in their hometown of Vancouver!!!
	12:35pm suzyhotrod: This Cub song is so cute, I steal it!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: D.C.
	12:36pm pgalub: Hey Michael, JAAAAACK, Handy and everyone. Nice interview.
	12:36pm clarke: isn't it a Magnetic Fields song?/
	12:36pm Handy Haversack: TMBG's version is fantastic as well!
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: Washington DC is paradise to me
	12:36pm clarke: travel safe, shelleys!!!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Pete!
	12:39pm clarke: oxford, MS: per capita the most lovely gals in the world!!

	12:41pm clarke: speaking of the Raiders - shelley has some competition: mark lindsey now has a saturday morning show on Underground Garage - hope they repeat on sundays!
	12:41pm HyperDose: @Handy Porchista's instagram says delayed start. 3:30 is the new time. Not sure if you were aware. Just posted 20mins ago.
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ Zoe goes deep on TheGants : wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, HYperD!
	12:44pm yerfriendpaul: You're no good sounds so good!
	12:44pm myron feld: You are so right, MS: best record ever. 1st version, too, predates Betty Everett's. Also sounds like Dee Dee singing her own backups.
	12:44pm clarke: isn't it wild that with modern radar they can tell when the rain will clear, etc?? and change events around, etc.
	12:44pm HyperDose: *Zoe Lynn a DJ on the Rock 'N' Soul stream who is currently on hiatus. Not to be confused with Mon night Zoe on the main stream. Both are fantastic Zoes
	12:44pm myron feld: And this guitar solo!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: Did that just happen? If so, 10/10!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a neat-o Arrangement.
	12:45pm clarke: BF - 10/10
	12:45pm Moammar: Fascinating article on the "Claudine" soundtrack, which features Gladys Knight produced by Curtis Mayfield: tinyurl.com...

	12:48pm egould: Ring a ding ding!!!
	12:49pm clarke: i wonder if there are any promos for this song?
	12:51pm clarke: what's the game show that zooey is co-host of?
	12:52pm Mike East: Funny cuz as that She & Him track was playing, I was thinking "oh, they're using the John Lennon reverb"
	12:52pm clarke: and bill dolan ISN'T using it!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RIP Alan White
	12:53pm clarke: oh man!! no!! dang.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Looks like it's about to pour here in Queens.
	12:54pm Michael Shelley: what isnt he using?
	12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Props to cover these songs & make it work so well.
	12:54pm clarke: dolan wasn't using the spector reverb/delay that Lennon used. slap-back with delay
	12:55pm David Shortell: I saw a photo of Lana Wood with the Gordian Knot. I don't know from what movie.

	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Gants / Gordian Knot ...Oops ! ...Wrong episode of Zoe linked to...
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: My absolute favorite Rascals tune. And it makes sense now that he said he had 8 years of training. Reminds me of Bacharach
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: And here it is...
	12:57pm P-90: Excellent interview in excellent show (as always!)
	12:57pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:58pm clarke: worst deal, EVER. A to B. good nite!! (safe travels!!).
	12:58pm David Shortell: "She and Him" should not be confused with "He & She", the CBS sitcom costarring Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.
	12:58pm Dennis Diken: killer show, Mikey (as per...) and nice to hear Felix tell his tales. have a ball in DC
	12:58pm HyperDose: Everywhere such as
	12:58pm Frank In Queens: She sounds like Presidential material, based on current standards...
	12:59pm KWilde: Great show Michael!
	12:59pm yerfriendpaul: Such as!
	12:59pm phat in lincoln: I'm sure she's very cute

	11:05am clarke: it IS a beautiful morning in new orleans!
	11:06am Listener Baby: Is there a better song than this?
	11:06am myron feld: @LB: NO!

	11:06am clarke: Shake Some Action?
	11:07am Squints: Baby, maybe. But it's probably by the Rascals. 8^)
	11:07am myron feld: @Clarke: Nope. As a great man once said told me (about a different record), "There may be records as good as this one, but none better."
	11:08am Squints: This is how good they were: What Is The Reason was relegated to B side.
	11:08am clarke: and you claimed you didn't work blue.
	11:14am Squints: Dang, that was nice. Coulda used some bongo feet.
	11:15am clarke: all you had to do was click yer (cuban) heels together, Squints!
	11:16am Frank In Queens: Such a great song.
	11:17am McGroovey: The Televisionaries are the perfect accompaniment for Cheerios (with banana on top) and coffee.
	11:18am clarke: 9/10
	11:20am clarke: @Frank - u going to watch the UEFA Final today?
	11:21am myron feld: Love this breakdown part of "Slow Down"
	11:21am Frank In Queens: @clarke, I was debating it. They're showing it at Hudson Yards on the west side, so if I do watch it, it'll be there since it's outside.
	11:21am Frank In Queens: But I also have to finish working on my Drop In. I'm very close I think...
	11:22am clarke: nioce!! do you watch Shoresy??
	11:23am Frank In Queens: I don't know what that is.
	11:23am Mike East: We are backlining for Mr Cavaliere for his local shows. Looking forward to the interview, Michael!
	11:24am clarke: it is a spin-off of Letterkenny - about a hockey ref. hugely hilarious.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo MikeEast !!
	11:25am clarke: actually not a ref but a linesman.
	11:25am Dennis Diken: let's go, Mikey! hey gang! man, The Rascals! never saw them but from all accounts they were untouchable live
	11:25am clarke: Danelli baby!!
	11:26am Miss Georgia Peach: OMG I just tuned in - FELIX CAVALIERE???? So psyched!!!
	11:26am HyperDose: Oh hey, Dennis is here!
	11:26am Frank In Queens: Only 1 in 4?
	11:26am clarke: the Iron Sheik was under-estimating it.
	11:28am Mike East: Heya Rabbit!
	11:28am phat in lincoln: Good morning!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's this one doc JohnSebastian makes a point about TheRascal's relevance. I guess LittleSteven got into it @ close range with them & locked horns re the Theatrical thing... I always think of the clips in which their drummer is twirling sticks between beats - a little ahead of the curve for the 1960s like that ?...
	11:29am ?: free people are armed who disarms societies? polpothitlerstalinmaoetc tyrants disarm people and kill them HISTORY. you city people love to sit in boxes gun free zones and be shot. chicago? how's that going? criminals are armed either way. history

	11:35am PaulRobeson1922: I’ll be there, in just a little while
	11:35am Squints: Kinda Pezbandy harmonies here.
	11:36am clarke: @HP - who has more critters? you or Handy?
	11:38am dano59: Are them Rascals in the HoF? (nyit that it matterss)
	11:38am clarke: believe it or not, handclaps are very difficult to record correctly!!
	11:39am Hubig Pie: clarke, current inventory is two kitties but we babysittin' sister -in-law's dog. Soon we should have our 2 macaws back. They spent the winter with the in law.
	11:39am Frank In Queens: @dano, since 1997
	11:39am clarke: Wow: Wild Kinkdom West!!
	11:39am Hoboken Jack: Hello Michael, Dennis, Clarke, Frank, HyperD, Handy, holiday Bagpipe, everybody!!
	11:40am dano59: ? - have you even been to Chicago? or is it too dark for you
	11:40am Michael Shelley: ? who said anything about disarming - you anonymous coward
	11:40am clarke: jaaaaack
	11:40am Frank In Queens: Hey there Jack
	11:41am clarke: DD = Dino Daneli DD = Dennis Diken coincidence? i think not!!
	11:42am clarke: (also: ? thinks NOT!)
	11:43am dano59: It’s the slippery slope / “freedom” argument every time. Plus the crazy conspiracy theories have been spinning about the Uvalde cops being in on it. Gun nuts are shameful.
	11:45am dano59: clarke: plus David Dunham in Unbreakable. alliterative names - It’s a classic superhero trope.
	11:45am clarke: supah!!
	11:46am Dennis Diken: @HyperDose @Hoboken Jack - hey dudes! @clarke - bless your heart!! I surely listened to The Rascals when I was learning to play and Dino has always been one of my mainest of men!
	11:47am clarke: i figured! i got to see Daneli with an early Disciples Of Soul tour - unreal.
	11:48am PaulRobeson1922: Syracuse!!! Spring has just begun up there
	11:50am clarke: sounds like there is an organ playing in the background for felix??
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just about every angle on Gun Control - better background checks, prohibiting automatic weapons, you name it - has upwards of 75% popular support. After the - there's no other word for it - atrocities this week (gradeschool victims needing to be identified with DNA &tc.) - I rather doubt that is going to go down. Now - you know & I know & everybody knows the USA is the only Nation with this problem like this. The NRA was DonaldDrumpf's largest contributor. It's not rhetoric that NRA is responsible for the lies & the bloodshed. People are deathly afraid to walk the street - to send their tiny children to school. We are in no mood, Sir, for justifications that are no more or less than obstructions to just simply having fewer guns.
	11:50am Katsura: Hi!
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FelixC's energy is apparent in his very voice.
	11:51am swivs: It's still about $3000 for a Hammond B3 on Reverb, usually 2K for the Leslie, but they're always "pick uo only" for some reason...🤔
	11:52am clarke: there was a portable B-3 by Hammond and Fender made a portable leslie speaker (i played in a short-lived band called The Portable Leslies).
	11:53am PaulRobeson1922: Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, gonna lay down my sword and shield! Down by the riverside…
	11:54am swivs: clarke: I bought the new Leslie 3300 last year. Took forever to arrive. It screams, but all told, the digital stuff cost about the same as the real deal; I guess you just save money on chiropractic bills later...
	11:54am PaulRobeson1922: Nice interview! gotta get in the car and drive now. I’ll be GListening all the way
	11:54am clarke: sorry: the portable hammond was, i think, called the B-2?? some other model.
	11:55am clarke: @swivs - same deal with the Nord keyboards who get that Hammond sound "good enough" without killing your roadies.
	11:56am Squints: Heh. B-2. Stealth Hammond.
	11:56am greg g: @ Rev Rabbit: Well said & Good Morning Everyone
	11:57am HyperDose: Morning, Jack!
	11:57am clarke: yeah Squints: it has these pull-out metal legs that fold up into the body of the beast. it's cool! and sounds great.
	11:58am clarke: but, still... despite the "portable-ness" of those two pieces, it is STILL a lot to lift!
	11:58am swivs: @clarke - ha, yeah. I went and got the Hammond Sk-1 (wonder what Casio thought of that) after years of using a Nord electro 2. The tactile nature of the drawbars versus the buttons on the Nord is nice.
	11:59am clarke: oh sure of course - but it sure doesn't travel as good!
	12:00pm swivs: 88 keys is tough to lug, anyway you slice it.
	12:01pm clarke: another band i played with lugged a B-3 around in its early days. we cut the bottom off of it (didn't work anyway). finally, i talked them into the nord.
	12:02pm phat in lincoln: Satchitananda was Alice Coltrane's guru, too, among others.
	12:05pm clarke: Swivs, do you have the bass pedal unit for the SK?
	12:05pm HyperDose: I'm a fan of the 64 key controller myself, Mr Swivs 🎩
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom Dowd - Atlantic Records...
	12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Why has no one separated Keys into two 44Key units ??...
	12:07pm Mike East: I always recommend the Hammond XK5 dual manual with the Leslie 3300....much more reliable than a B3 and 122...which is why we always send a spare.
	12:07pm Mike Sin: Great interview! Such prime questions.
	12:07pm swivs: @clarke I still have my old Nord. I think I might pop it open and spray paint it black or something...
	12:08pm clarke: red is cool!!
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jimi shocked the Brit players - partly because they'd learned off records - didn't know how it looked !
	12:09pm swivs: Yeah, the red is definitely cool. I have a red Farfisa too. But imagine seeing some strange looking "mystery keyboard" on stage? You could just write "CLARKE" in the Nord lettering... haha
	12:09pm clarke: (i have an old nord, as well - still great)
	12:09pm jmd: ANOTHER great Michael Shelley interview. Whatta blast! Thanks.
	12:10pm clarke: ha ha - the nord matches my red AceTone!
	12:10pm swivs: 🎶I see a red a red Nord and I want to paint it black...🎶
	12:11pm clarke: paint it black, you devil!
	12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is going real fast. Or maybe it's my attentionspan this A.M.
	12:11pm Mike East: The nord in my basement is in need of repair :(
	12:12pm clarke: mike - if Prof Fuzz comes around - ask him about it!
	12:12pm swivs: @Mike East: YouTube it! I was paying Main Drag $300 for $12 worth of work. Definitely see if you can DIY first.
	12:12pm clarke: Fuzz is actually headed to NYC this or next week!
	12:13pm clarke: bring your Nord to the Prof.Fuzz'63 show!!
	12:14pm Mike East: @swivz...where I work has a shop with guys who know what they're doing (which I'm grateful for)....we've just been so slammed I haven't dared put it on their shop bench. I'll wait for the slow season.
	12:14pm Tim from LH: This is a fantastic interview! Love Felix!
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: Really enjoying this talk. prof.fuzz is here Wednesday, clarke, playing with K8's band and Psych-o-Positive in Brooklyn!
	12:14pm clarke: wish i could see all dat!!
	12:16pm swivs: Dose! the 62-64 key is definitely easier transport. I have the Nord backpack case for mine. People on the subway LOVED me.
	12:17pm Handy Haversack: "Please reserve these seats for the elderly, disabled persons, and Nord players."
	12:18pm clarke: another fantasmic interview!! fun-powered!! a to b!!!!
	12:19pm Mike East: Great interview!
	12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems completely forthcoming - great!
	12:19pm myron feld: "That's where I live, man!" Great line.
	12:19pm Squints: Heh. Turn to answer a question and inadvertently take out three straphangers on the other side.
	12:19pm Panther: Phenomenal interview. Really!!!
	12:19pm swivs: Just wanted to mention; I saw Felix & The Rascals a few years back in Yonkers, at a summer festival, and they blew everyone away.
	12:20pm Mike East: My guru was his guru's assistant
	12:20pm Moammar: Felix is a walking advertisement for gurus.
	12:20pm Frank In Queens: Great great interview!
	12:20pm phat in lincoln: Another great interview Michael.
	12:20pm swivs: Nice one. have a great weekend, you maniacs. ❤️
	12:21pm myron feld: Tom Dowd knew what he was doing. This record is on fire.
	12:21pm phat in lincoln: Dino Danelli was nuts, wasn't he?
	12:21pm Hoboken Jack: Terrific interview, Michael! He seemed like a really good guy.
	12:21pm clarke: swivs - lift with the knees!!
	12:22pm Frank In Queens: So great to hear Felix on your show. The Rascals are such an important band to FMU's broadcast radius and beyond.
	12:22pm clarke: good nutz, phat!! where's your phuzz photo?
	12:22pm Mike East: This song was on the first mix tape I ever made
	12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom Dowd documentary : en.wikipedia.org...
	12:23pm Frank In Queens: They had a BAND?
	12:23pm jmd: Great restraint not adding bongo-feet on Good Lovin’
	12:24pm Frank In Queens: @jmd, you don't fuck with perfection.
	12:25pm HyperDose: @Swivs Maybe you'll make it onto the Subway Creatures insta page one day!
	12:28pm jmd: Right there in the fermata? Perfect place for them!
	12:29pm phat in lincoln: @clarke soon! I've had a ridiculous week.
	12:29pm clarke: well... we're waiting!!!
	12:30pm clarke: (ted knight voice)
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Barba Yiorgi is the best! He was in Anaboboula, the Greek folk-rock band, and is in Elgin Marbles with Dave Mandl. We're taking off soon for Montclair and the Porchistas' festival. Anyone else coming? theporchistas.bandcamp.com...
	12:31pm clarke: have the Fun, HH!! let todd know i won't be around this afternoon, if you chat.
	12:32pm Michael Shelley: HH - I wish, but headed out of town in 27 minutes...
	12:32pm Mike tp: in on girls on grass..hot tune.
	12:33pm clarke: where ya headed MS??
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Hoping the rain stops as we get there!
	12:34pm Claire from Montclair: Handy, I’m planning to go later!
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, this tune.
	12:35pm Einstraus: "CUB"! Listening to Cub in their hometown of Vancouver!!!
	12:35pm suzyhotrod: This Cub song is so cute, I steal it!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: D.C.
	12:36pm pgalub: Hey Michael, JAAAAACK, Handy and everyone. Nice interview.

	12:41pm HyperDose: @Handy Porchista's instagram says delayed start. 3:30 is the new time. Not sure if you were aware. Just posted 20mins ago.
	12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ Zoe goes deep on TheGants : wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, HYperD!
	12:44pm yerfriendpaul: You're no good sounds so good!
	12:44pm myron feld: You are so right, MS: best record ever. 1st version, too, predates Betty Everett's. Also sounds like Dee Dee singing her own backups.
	12:44pm clarke: isn't it wild that with modern radar they can tell when the rain will clear, etc?? and change events around, etc.
	12:44pm HyperDose: *Zoe Lynn a DJ on the Rock 'N' Soul stream who is currently on hiatus. Not to be confused with Mon night Zoe on the main stream. Both are fantastic Zoes
	12:44pm myron feld: And this guitar solo!
	12:44pm Frank In Queens: Did that just happen? If so, 10/10!
	12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a neat-o Arrangement.

	12:49pm clarke: i wonder if there are any promos for this song?
	12:51pm clarke: what's the game show that zooey is co-host of?
	12:52pm Mike East: Funny cuz as that She & Him track was playing, I was thinking "oh, they're using the John Lennon reverb"
	12:52pm clarke: and bill dolan ISN'T using it!
	12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RIP Alan White
	12:53pm clarke: oh man!! no!! dang.
	12:53pm Frank In Queens: Looks like it's about to pour here in Queens.
	12:54pm Michael Shelley: what isnt he using?

	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Gants / Gordian Knot ...Oops ! ...Wrong episode of Zoe linked to...
	12:56pm phat in lincoln: My absolute favorite Rascals tune. And it makes sense now that he said he had 8 years of training. Reminds me of Bacharach
	12:57pm Frank In Queens: And here it is...
	12:57pm P-90: Excellent interview in excellent show (as always!)
	12:57pm radioronan: Thanks Michael!
	12:58pm clarke: worst deal, EVER. A to B. good nite!! (safe travels!!).
	12:58pm David Shortell: "She and Him" should not be confused with "He & She", the CBS sitcom costarring Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.
	12:58pm Dennis Diken: killer show, Mikey (as per...) and nice to hear Felix tell his tales. have a ball in DC
	12:58pm HyperDose: Everywhere such as
