Listener comments!
	11:04am paul: Was James Taylor once in the Flying Machine that did "Smile a little Smile..." or were there two bands with that name? I've wondered this for years.
	11:05am google: uhhhhh, paul........
	11:06am (Mr) Bill: I gotta believe that was a different Flying Machine. JT couldn't have done anything that execrable in '69. I think his group was named James Taylor & the Flying Machine.
	11:06am paul: Too much work.
	11:08am paul: So, that was the non-JT Flying Machine we just heard?
	11:09am (Mr) Bill: I can't swear to it, but I believe so.
	11:11am (Mr) Bill: I think it's the B side of "Smile a Little Smile for Me (Rosemarie)."
	11:15am paul: Hmmm. Never had that 45.
	11:17am paul: This is the only show where you can hear Will Rigby and Amy Rigby. Pretty cool.
	11:21am (Mr) Bill: My first time listening, and already I'm a fan. Enough with the Eleanor Rigby and more Will and Amy!
	11:29am Mike: The Television song is "O Mi Amore". They never cut a vocal for this version, but it was one of their best early songs.. It's on several live bootlegs from the time.
	11:31am paul: I searched for "make way for a better man" on Amazon and a bunch of books on male "enhancement" appeared. No joke.
	11:34am M: On the "Marquee Moon" cd it is titled "Untitled Instrumental" - that is the name of the cut I played
	11:40am paul: =-k8muj7xzxwscednhy? I gotta hear that one!
	11:42am M: Was cleaning the keyboard with a Clorox Wipe!
	11:43am paul: Kind of disappointed. But I figured it was something like that.
	11:44am M: Things can get a bit germ-y around here!
	11:46am paul: And you have to follow Bob B. :)
	11:48am Loren DaSilva: What are the chances...I'm driving to work this morning thinking, hmm, I'd like to hear Todd Rundgen's "We Gotta Get You a Woman". You've done it again - great show!
	11:52am BigJay: Los Angeles thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:55am pp: All these juicy in-between-song tidbits and no backstory! Oh well.
	11:58am Chad: pp - backstory of what?
	12:00pm pp: What she was doing at Rundgren's house.
	12:00pm dale: yay roy clark! now i need to hear glen campbells 'everyday housewife' roy was on the odd couple and did some fine classical guitar work as well....
	12:02pm scott williams: Michael - you made my day! My Dad (Charlie Williams)wrote that song - 'Do You Believe this Town?'! Not one I hear on the radio often - nor his other songs....
	12:03pm Michael: DOE! Wow - did he write any other #1 hits!?
	12:08pm drr: "And what this song needs is....more tambourine!"
	12:09pm drr: This is like the only song where the vowel they hold on is "eeee".
	12:15pm scott williams: I'm not THAT Scott Williams! (though I've played on FMU a couple of times) - my Dad did co write "I Got Stripes" w/ Johnny Cash - also 'I Never Picked Cotton' - both Roy AND Johnny did that one...
	12:17pm paul: My favorite scene from Walk the Line was were Johnny was loaded on pills and started singing "Stripes" about 3 times the normal speed. Hope you got a nice little check for that.
	12:19pm scott williams: well - my Dad's last wife does...
	12:21pm paul: That's cool. Or maybe not (for you). Your dad wrote some great ones.
	12:31pm paul: "He smokes Gold Label"
	12:32pm Sean: John Barrylicious
	12:33pm Bob: I'm sure the FMU library has the Raybeats' "Guitar Beat" album somewhere. I'd love to hear one or two of its number one hits one of these Saturday mornings.
	12:42pm paul: And the Dutch!
	12:44pm paul: This is very Nesbitt-esque.
	12:46pm drr: Now that was amazing.
	12:56pm paul: Poke roe?
