Listener comments!

1:26pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Hey Rex! We met at the marathon. I was answering phones when you were co-hosting - I sat right next to you. Welcome back to the airwaves.

1:29pm Joe R:

Your wife listens to this show?? Kidding. I never miss it and often replay it during the work week. Thanks for the years of that crazzzzzy music.

1:31pm Michael:

You don't have to be a "fool" to listen to "Fools Paradise" but it helps. Love the show!

1:35pm Dan Howell:

What was your favorite act at Ponderosa Stomp? Mine was definitely Cyril and Ron from Flamin' Groovies. WFMU should have hosted an event down there.

1:35pm ted:

P Stomp was great. Does anyone have contact info for Josh Styles? (I don't do Myspace)

1:36pm Mupp:

Pair a Dice songs ?

1:36pm ted:

Frlamin' Groovies! The only reason I went.

1:38pm lando:

can anyone tell me what the fools paradise theme song is called?

1:46pm hazmania:

P-Stomp
Funnel of Love - Twice! Wanda was in much better voice than I expected.
Now a bonafide Mug-N-Bun, Lockhart, and Ponderosa Stomp alumni.

1:48pm ted:

Wanda was very good. I had no idea ? was such a ?

1:49pm Mark Dillman "Daddy-o Dilly":

Sage advice from Babs.

1:49pm Mupp:

The SNACK..and how to get it

1:50pm Daddy-o:

I'm glad Wanda was great the Ponderosa Stomp. She is the Queen!

1:53pm ted:

As someone said from the stage, The nice (or was it sweet?) lady with the nasty voice.

1:55pm Joe R:

To Lando- One of Rex's themes is "Shawnee" by the Premiers. I have it on the Desperate Rock n Roll V 3 comp. I'm sure Mr D has it on a 45, probably also autographed by all the band members.

1:58pm jmd:

Wow! This Chicken Pot Pie track is way fantastic. Thanks.

2:00pm Dave Rhoden:

ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
chicken pot pie!
can't wait to see who the artist is
(and I do mean ARTIST)

2:03pm hazmania:

I never knew she was so tiny. They literally had to put a footstool down so she could get into the van when she left. It's crazy hearing that voice whooping, yodeling,etc. so strongly from such a small, frail lady. It's great she is getting the accolades she deserves. Surreal moment - on the balcony listening to Roy Loney describing what a great, friendly guy James Burton is backstage while turning into Bonnie Raitt entering as I head to the bar.

2:04pm Mupp:

Careful which melons you be thumpin

2:05pm danhowl:

did everyone feel the room tension rise when Wanda gave her testimony? I thought the crowd handled it wall though.

2:07pm ted:

I just substitute cheeses for jesus whenever that happens

2:08pm hazmania:

I toasted her faith with a shot

2:10pm ted:

Satin loves you!

2:12pm lando:

Thanks Joe!

2:12pm Joe R:

and you can substitute melon thumpin' for Bible thumpin'

2:15pm Mupp:

And maybe Humpin or sumpin

2:17pm ted:

Then you might as well use fuck instead of luck

2:18pm hazmania:

Did anyone else hit the record show? I arrived with 20 minutes left and really didn't get to look much. I did score a mint copy of The Addicts Sing though.

2:32pm ted:

Oh, BTW, we are performing naked tonight http://www.sonicuke.com/index1.php

2:46pm Peter:

Nice drop in, Rex!

2:47pm WOW:

2:54pm muhrvis:

2:55pm Mupp:

Lord Fauntleroy and Lord Buckly should have had a throw down..show these young upstarts whats what !

2:57pm Daddy-o Dilly:

I am about half way through John Broven's wonderful book. I just finished his interview with Gene Goodman. PLEASE read this book! See if your library can get a copy on the shelf!

3:01pm Joe R:

Is Broven's book kind of like Charlie Gillette's "Sound of the City"? That book opened my eyes to the influence the independent record companies had on the growth and spread of rock'n'roll.

3:03pm Daddy-o Dilly:

Joe: You're right on target, brother!

3:21pm Mark Dillman "Daddy-o Dilly":

Listening to your show while reading the hardcover re-issue of Humbug magazine. A perfect combination!
