  12:29am
Joe McG:

I think Jack Webb was the original Wu Tang.
  12:32am
Joe D.:

"Well, m'am, tracking down a suspect is like a swordfight. You need to think first, before you move."
"Ain't a damn thing changed, m'am. In this city, you've got to protect your neck"

Matt from Springfield:

Hey Joe! I missed a whole bunch of Dragnet - but I look forward to that on the Archives! And The Shadow, I may try to catch that live next week!

As for "Romantic Reflections by Jack Webb", is that the same album with his spoken-word "Try A Little Tenderness"? :)
  1:06am
Joe McG:

That's the one, Matt--I meant to play that, actually, but miscued. Don't tell anybody.
  1:09am
Matt from Springfield:

It's all good with me Joe!
Quite the old-timey show tonight, music of many genres and radio drama. Just "In The Mood" tonight?
  1:10am
Joe McG:

I guess so, Matt. Soon to change direction!
  1:14am
Matt from Springfield:

Change of direction and random 45s--Freeform prevails again!
  1:22am
Matt from Springfield:

Left Banke, always appreciated.
  1:23am
Joe McG:

And always adored!
  1:34am
Chop Scott:

Boom Boom!
  1:35am
Matt from Springfield:

BOMP!
  1:36am
Matt from Springfield:

There's a Massachusetts Avenue in DC. I think I've seen cats in tophats there, too.

Hey Scott, enjoyed the Chop Shop set on BT's show!
  1:39am
Matt from Springfield:

Convicted by Judge Cupid??! OH LAWD HAVE MERCY indeed!!
  1:42am
Matt from Springfield:

Danepop!!! Or Norpop!!
  1:45am

Dane, or Norway?
Love this Dictators one!
  1:51am
Joe McG:

Danish.
  1:55am

Sammi Smith, a wonderful syrupy voice of country. Is this a Kristofferson comp?
  1:57am
ami ad:

Good nights Joe and all,thanks for the sweet tunes.
  1:57am
Joe McG:

@Matt: No, it's by someone named John Virgin. G'night, Ami Ad!
  2:00am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Joe. And Vince Guaraldi, I was thinking of him when I first heard the opening of that song. It helped that I just saw the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special on Thursday!
  2:08am
Matt from Springfield:

LOL Loudon!!! Many a couple's laments over the stressful Thanksgiving weekend I'm sure!
  2:10am
Joe McG:

Should I play the most depressing holiday song ever, "Thanksgiving"?
  2:14am
Matt from Springfield:

Never heard "Thanksgiving", go for it!
  2:18am
Joe McG:

You asked for it!
  2:19am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks! The holiday calls for it.
In fact almost could qualify as "country" instead of "folk"...
  2:29am
Matt from Springfield:

Gorgeous Gram Parsons "Love Hurts"! And do I hear Emmylou singing with him?
  2:30am
Minnesota Jeff:

I believe this is actually Ruth Buzzie singing with him - she had a beautiful singing voice.
  2:30am
Joe McG:

You do!
  2:32am
Erika:

what is this ground hog day?
  2:33am
Matt from Springfield:

Yes it's true! Beautiful.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_1973
Another gift of the now-departed WLIR live sets, apparently!
  2:33am
Joe McG:

I wish it were, Erika! I want to build a snowman with Andie McDowell.
  2:34am
Matt from Springfield:

@Erika: With Joe a few songs in the third hour is nothing to sweat. When he starts playing "Satisfaction" from the very FIRST song, then it's time to panic! :)
  2:34am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: That's another perk of Groundhog Day!

We all smelled this comin'---Dazed & Confused teens, slow dance with your girl in the gym now!
  2:35am
Erika:

@ Matt hahahaha!
  2:35am
Joe McG:

@Matt: I have to do another Joy in Repetition show soon! I love doing this.
  2:44am
Brian in UK:

Hello Joe. Jim Capaldi killed Loves Hurts.
  2:46am
Brian in UK:

No Joe KILLED it. Sang it up tempo.
  2:46am
Matt from Springfield:

Well, hurry up! Get Jim Capaldi! I don't know who he is BUT "LOVE HURTS"! You must procure!
  2:47am
Matt from Springfield:

Not a huge 10cc fan, but I can always go for "I'm Not In Love".
  2:48am
Matt from Springfield:

Go for you Daniel!!
You didn't leave Russia only to face that kind of crap!
  2:48am
Brian in UK:

Jim Capaldi was Traffics drummer.
  2:49am
Matt from Springfield:

Oh wow, didn't know Traffic's drummer had solo albums.
  2:51am
Brian in UK:

Whale Meat Gain. Get it?
  2:54am
Matt from Springfield:

@Brian: Yes! I heard that in Dr. Strangelove:
(We'll Meet Again)
  2:58am
Matt from Springfield:

Thought that title looked familiar! Music IS Freedom! Embrace it!
  2:59am
