It's a party!9:48am : Wow the Left Banke who did "Walk Away Rene". They had completely dropped put of my memory banke. Wiki says they were practitioners of what was known a baroque pop meaning lots of background strings.9:53am : on my sat morn errand run more great info and storytelling by dj excellente bob great weekend everyone9:54am : im up for one of those special cookies9:58am : This is an amazing version of the Just My Imagination. Never heard it before. Better than the original version.9:59am : I had one hell of a day after eating a special brownie10:01am : I think that was the original version of Just My Imagination, with the music removed.10:09am : Is anyone else having trouble with the stream?10:09am : burble burble10:11am : thank you!

Great show as always...
Thanks10:34am : Hi Jack! hehe10:37am : Yes Wendy, still with the big neon sign and cool graffiti permanently embedded in the booths from the 60's. Maybe I'll get 4 with all today...10:43am : Turtle Boy, now you're talkin'! *burp* haha.
Is the bar next door still there? I think it's called Harold's. I'm not much of a bar person, but the look of the place always fascinated me. Frozen in time, in a great way :-)10:44am : Did Mort Shuman write this tune? or Doc Pomus?10:47am : There's a tiny bar in the place but not next door. Tiny as in 6 or 7 seats. When I get my dogs, I do Polar Cream Soda anyway...10:54am : Hmm, I must be getting my wires crossed. Whoops! Wow, I haven't had a cream soda in ages. Root beer, well that's a different story :-)
If you ever make it down to Jersey and are in need of a good hot dog or four, may I recommend Rutt's Hutt in Clifton and Hot Dog Johnny's in Buttzville (yes, Buttzville).10:58am : Thanks Wendy! May all your dogs be tasty...
