	4:49pm mojo61: Enjoying your show, Monica. I lived in Chicago for 5 years and I thought your bed music was "In Heaven There Is No Beer"!! And I took a swig. Then I started singing the lyric.
	4:50pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Remember Me" by "Diana Ross" ah, there it is
	4:52pm tim: ↳ Song: "Remember Me" by "Diana Ross" I was telling my 8 year old daughter about Diana Ross last week. I played her Upside Down and Stop in the Name of Love. She was very compelled.
	4:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tim @4:52 good dad
	4:54pm Zip7: The Buck Owens track prompted me to price gold lamé jackets online. But they're a lot more expensive than an impulse buy will allow

	5:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tim @5:06 That's right, she came to your neck of the woods! I saw her in person years ago at Monty Hall, but was too shy to say hi. I probably would now.
	5:07pm Adi From Sheffield: This is lovely content for my drawing session.
	5:09pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Take a Swing at the Moon" by "Gabi Hartmann" Makes me think of free Tango nights along the Left Bank Seine

	5:15pm Zip7: ↳ craig and bren @5:06 i've driven that stretch of I-35 countless times.
	5:15pm tim: ↳ Kat in the chat @5:07 It was fun. One of the high ups of the fine and applied arts school here is a big WFMU fan. He was able to pull some (purse) strings here to make it happen. Hearty White led a Q & A afterward. It was so refreshing. A lot of humor and they blew some major holes in the rigidity of academia here.
	5:16pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Heavy Soul" by "Ike Quebec" It was me, Joe Friday, with my Partner ... Bill Wednesday .. we were out on our beat looking for hop heads and acid freaks.. first .. we needed coffees and grilled cheese sandwiches ... then we saw the dame .. she was't starting but yad notice her ... then there was a commercial break ..
	5:23pm traven: ↳ morphe' @5:16 Marijuana is the match, heroin is the fuse, LSD is the bomb.
	5:26pm morphe': ↳ traven @5:23 Touche''' Traven.. ps all ...great old photo was making the rounds again ... "A Great Day in Harlem: behind Art Kane's classic 1958 jazz photograph" www.theguardian.com...

	5:27pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, Monica! Happy Holidays, Everyone!
	5:30pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @5:26 Wow. Thanks for sharing. I'm reading a book set in Harlem in the 70s. It is a sequel to a book set in 50s Harlem--fiction by Colson Whitehead--tremendous writing and fun and interesting books. The first one is called Harlem Shuffle.
	5:30pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "This Weather" by "Yoshika Colwell & The Vernon Sp... some of the chords here are almost like a modern interpretation of "merry christmas mr lawrence"

	4:50pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Remember Me" by "Diana Ross" ah, there it is
	4:52pm tim: ↳ Song: "Remember Me" by "Diana Ross" I was telling my 8 year old daughter about Diana Ross last week. I played her Upside Down and Stop in the Name of Love. She was very compelled.

Bill Wednesday .. we were out on our beat looking for hop heads and acid freaks.. first .. we needed coffees and grilled cheese sandwiches ... then we saw the dame .. she was't starting but yad notice her ... then there was a commercial break ..
