	4:16pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ Michael @4:14 Thank you for your assistance!
	👻 4:18pm doctorjazz: Hey Charlie, stuck in traffic, doing nothing buy but listening.
	4:20pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "So Long Dad" by "Randy Newman" I love how every Randy Newman tune sounds alike.
	4:20pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @4:18 doctorjazz - good show to be stuck in traffic to!
	4:22pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @4:20 Like Leon Russell singing along with Scott Joplin?
	4:24pm Ruth Garden School: What a beautiful, soulful song Judy is belting out! Stunning.
	4:25pm Ruth Garden School: And now for a cha cha. Not really but for me it is.
	4:28pm Charlie: Hot cha cha!
	4:32pm Michael: Thank you Otis P. Driftwood.
	4:40pm Charlie: Hey Ruth, shall we have a 50th reunion in '26?
	4:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Call Your Name" by "The Mamas and the Papas" quite a stunner really....maybe second to 12:30 for ma's and pas
	4:47pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:46 Agreed! It's such a great cover, one of the best Beatles covers.
	4:48pm chresti: had I attended high school and graduated, I think this year would've been the 50th?
	4:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @4:47 i didn't recognize it as beatles... funny
	4:52pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 That's because they make every song their own! Whether it's an original, a Beatles cover, or a song by Rodgers and Hart.
	4:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @4:52 yes they took out or masked the very identifiable lennon and mccartney flavor, but that might be partially explainable with the nostalgic touches they added which is my least favorite thing about the song but the vocals are very pure
	4:57pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @4:48 Well, that's some kinda cause for celebration!
	5:00pm tom tom the pipers son: btw charlie have you had a minute to look at my website?
	5:02pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:00 Oof, no, thanks for the reminder! I've had a hella busy coupla weeks.
	5:02pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @4:57 Sure is! The only person that attended the continuation school I went to every so often, (that I still am in contact with), is my partner's brother-in-law..
	5:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @5:02 oh... ok link in my profile
	5:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @5:02 hi chresti... did you and franco meet through his brother in law?
	5:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Go Away From My Window" by "Myriam Gendron" Hey Charlie! I just woke up from my first official nap of Fall to the sweet voice of Myriam Gendron. I think I'll have the last slice of pie, and celebrate the fact that Summer is over.
	5:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Laughing" by "Guess Who" this is practically a standard jazzy though it is...
	5:07pm chresti: his sister, on a camping trip
	5:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:05 In a round about way, yes.
	5:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:06 you talked about seeing her ...sometime in the spring(?)
	5:08pm chresti: ↳ chresti @5:07 ^Franco's sister
	5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @5:08 yes...you always meet people through people
	5:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:07 We did! It was the first time I ever cried in a night club.
	5:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:09 remember
	5:10pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 we were friends 15 years before living together
	5:11pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:06 Last slice of pie after a nap. Beautiful afternoon!
	5:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:11 I think so. Why not get things off on the right foot?
	5:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @5:10 wow... that's dipping your toe in before going waist deep
	5:13pm adamdoesit: Hey Charlie! I'm digging the sounds. If I were driving, I'd keep it cartooned.
	5:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Car Jamming" by "The Clash" i don't think i've heard this before
	5:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:13 they were not a punk band
	5:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:13 No funny business until we went in head first. Can you believe it!?
	5:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:14 like these background production touches
	5:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:15 that's patience...
	5:18pm Charlie: Hi adamdoesit!
	5:19pm spodiodi: greetings, Charlie! got my nothing on! and aloha to all
	5:20pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:17 there were no twinkies in our eyes for each other then
	5:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Help Me Boy" by "Daughters Of Eve" oh...GTO's were on ace too i think
	5:20pm Charlie: Franco! spodiodi!
	5:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @5:20 it was evolution
	5:23pm tom tom the pipers son: don't know this beatles either
	5:23pm WR: Hello Charlie and folks. Contrary to what that confident lady in the sound bite said, it takes more than lips to whistle. The tongue and various other parts (depending on the method) of one's anatomy are required.
	5:23pm People Like Us: ↳ Song: "Crosstown Traffic" by "Jimi Hendrix Experience" yusss
	5:24pm Ruth Garden School: Great Beatles song. I've never heard this one!
	5:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "I Call Your Name" by "The Mamas and the Papas" On the other hand, what you said about the Mamas and Papas is true. They made that song their own.
	5:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "When I Get Home" by "The Beatles" "i'm gonna love her til the cows come home" ...???? they wouldf improve on lyrics
	5:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @5:23 bacall was not uncouth....; )
	5:28pm Charlie: hiya WR, thanks for the expanded whistling lesson!
	5:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @5:25 not to diminish the achievement mostly due to a tempo change imho
	5:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:28 ...but mostly due
	5:30pm Charlie: chresti and franco - I knew my wife for ages before we got together too. (If I'm reading your comments correctly)
	5:32pm Ruth Garden School: I'm still thinking about Charlie Lewis doing a fantastic cover of Dawning of Aquarius on the last show. Show stopper!
	5:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Can Have It All" by "Yo La Tengo" this is quite strong songwriting
	5:32pm ?: Great time to tune in!!
	5:33pm WR: ↳ Charlie @5:28 I'm not able to be very helpful but I just don't want others to go through what I went through. I tried to follow the lips only method and had many years of inferior feelings to overcome and never really have developed a proper whistle. Don't worry about me, I finally found a way to get by. But just putting it out there in case someone is going through was I was.
	👻 5:33pm doctorjazz: a syncopated drim set, cool!
	5:33pm Ruth Garden School: I'm always listening for his next surprise performance. Sitting by the radio... Actually my computer.
	5:35pm Chris S.: Sounding great, Charlie!
	5:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Be Thankful for What You Got" by "William DeVaughn" this does vibe w/ the previous ylt
	5:35pm Doug Schulkind: "Digging the scene with a gangsta lean, ooh ooh ooh!"
	5:35pm Ruth Garden School: WR, I had a very weird whistle as a youngun. I would actually INHALE on my whistle.
	5:36pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ Doug Schulkind @5:35 The best!
	5:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:35 how did you manage to blow your nose...? ; )
	5:38pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:37 Life is full of challenges!
	5:39pm tom tom the pipers son: true...
	5:39pm Ruth Garden School: Bye Charlie, almost. Have a nice Sunday dinner.
	5:40pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @5:33 WR, In To Have and Have Not, nothing is as simple as it first seems. So, I think your critique of Bacall's instructions is right in tune.
	👻 5:40pm doctorjazz: Momentary stop-remind me NEVER to drive into Manhattan on the weekend!
	5:41pm chresti: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:35 I remember doing that! I find Bacall's method works better now, with my 2 lower front teeth missing
	5:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @5:40 but i can't imagine bacall talking about her tongue...to mix metaphors. a little like val lewton horror...it's more there when you don't show the thing
	5:44pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ chresti @5:41 Haha! That's so funny! Another inhaler. Unlike President Clinton, who never inhaled.
	👻 5:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fever" by "MCoys" Love this version (B side of one of my first singles)
	👻 5:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @5:45 Still have it somewhere-Hang On Sloppy was the A side
	5:47pm Roberto: Crud, I fergot to Charlie.
	5:47pm Ruth Garden School: Never! Ever!! It used to be much more do-able 15 years ago. At least check for all the street fairs and parades. Then check a train schedule! Good luck 👍
	5:47pm DJ Peter: Hey Charlie! Glad you could step in!
	5:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "When I Get Home" by "Bobby Darin" does this sound a bit like gene pitney...?
	5:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:49 yes it does!
	5:52pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:44 "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? It's more complicated than it looks, but I know you can do it. Ok, press the tip of your tongue against the inside of your bottom teeth and kind of let it push up in back. Now tense your jaw, and pull your cheeks in, like you're making duckface on Insta. Now purse your lips and force air out so it vibrates the gap between your lips… ok, that's a good start, now try it again. Steve? Steve?" - To Have and Have Not, the Misdirector's Cut
	5:53pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:47 My last comment re: street fairs, etc is for Dr Jazz
	5:53pm spodiodi: thank you, Charlie! great hearing you. love your shows
	5:55pm Michael: Thank you Charlie fer makin’ my Sunday better. Be well!
	👻 5:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks Charlie!
	5:55pm Charlie: I'm glad everyone got to know each other in chat today! As usual, I was too busy (haha) to keep up, but will read later. Thank you all for being here today!
	5:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @5:52 ha! that's a very thorough education but looks like she lost her student
	5:56pm People Like Us: thank you Charlie xxx
	5:56pm Charlie: Here's the playlist for The Laughing Clock, up next: wfmu.org...

	6:00pm tom tom the pipers son: worked at saks...there was a scandale because someone was jerking off on the mannequins
	6:00pm WR: Thank you, Charlie.

	5:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "I Call Your Name" by "The Mamas and the Papas" On the other hand, what you said about the Mamas and Papas is true. They made that song their own.

	5:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @5:25 not to diminish the achievement mostly due to a tempo change imho

	5:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Can Have It All" by "Yo La Tengo" this is quite strong songwriting
	5:32pm ?: Great time to tune in!!
	5:33pm WR: ↳ Charlie @5:28 I'm not able to be very helpful but I just don't want others to go through what I went through. I tried to follow the lips only method and had many years of inferior feelings to overcome and never really have developed a proper whistle. Don't worry about me, I finally found a way to get by. But just putting it out there in case someone is going through was I was.
	👻 5:33pm doctorjazz: a syncopated drim set, cool!
	5:33pm Ruth Garden School: I'm always listening for his next surprise performance. Sitting by the radio... Actually my computer.
	5:35pm Chris S.: Sounding great, Charlie!
	5:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Be Thankful for What You Got" by "William DeVaughn" this does vibe w/ the previous ylt

	5:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:35 how did you manage to blow your nose...? ; )
	5:38pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:37 Life is full of challenges!
	5:39pm tom tom the pipers son: true...
	5:39pm Ruth Garden School: Bye Charlie, almost. Have a nice Sunday dinner.
	5:40pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @5:33 WR, In To Have and Have Not, nothing is as simple as it first seems. So, I think your critique of Bacall's instructions is right in tune.
	👻 5:40pm doctorjazz: Momentary stop-remind me NEVER to drive into Manhattan on the weekend!
	5:41pm chresti: ↳ Ruth Garden School @5:35 I remember doing that! I find Bacall's method works better now, with my 2 lower front teeth missing
	5:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ adamdoesit @5:40 but i can't imagine bacall talking about her tongue...to mix metaphors. a little like val lewton horror...it's more there when you don't show the thing
	5:44pm Ruth Garden School: ↳ chresti @5:41 Haha! That's so funny! Another inhaler. Unlike President Clinton, who never inhaled.
	👻 5:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fever" by "MCoys" Love this version (B side of one of my first singles)
	👻 5:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @5:45 Still have it somewhere-Hang On Sloppy was the A side
	5:47pm Roberto: Crud, I fergot to Charlie.
	5:47pm Ruth Garden School: Never! Ever!! It used to be much more do-able 15 years ago. At least check for all the street fairs and parades. Then check a train schedule! Good luck 👍
	5:47pm DJ Peter: Hey Charlie! Glad you could step in!
	5:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "When I Get Home" by "Bobby Darin" does this sound a bit like gene pitney...?
	5:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:49 yes it does!
	5:52pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:44 "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? It's more complicated than it looks, but I know you can do it. Ok, press the tip of your tongue against the inside of your bottom teeth and kind of let it push up in back. Now tense your jaw, and pull your cheeks in, like you're making duckface on Insta. Now purse your lips and force air out so it vibrates the gap between your lips… ok, that's a good start, now try it again. Steve? Steve?" - To Have and Have Not, the Misdirector's Cut
