	9:06am doca: from where is that "radio, radio" vignette?
	9:07am common: yea! Rufus!
	9:07am Parq: Parade day already?
	9:07am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe and good morning to you and all. Nothing stirs the blood in Nova Scotia like the skirl of the pipes first thing in the day.
	9:08am Meghan: I was thinking the same thing SeanG!
	9:09am Parq: And Doca, if no one's beaten me to it: www.youtube.com...
	9:09am Dave B: Dig those crazy pipes, man!
	9:12am r i s k y: Let the bags pipe!!!!!
	9:13am Michele: Morning Joe! Please go to WFMU tomorrow. I haven't seen you in so long! xo
	9:13am Dave B: FTR - "The Walrus" is a killer pipes number IMHO. This isnt the greatest version, the the quickest I could find.... www.youtube.com...
	9:15am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! Hope you're feeling good! @Michele: I'm going to try! :)
	9:19am SeanG: @Meghan-- Totally! those intro bagpipes are ingrained in my brain
	9:23am trs: In Nova Scotia, you can find individuals practicing their pipes outward to the sea as if on some Scottish moor.
	9:24am KevinfromBayRidge: G'Morning Joe & McGaskoers, Need these pipes on such a gray day. Have to think about the performance space!
	9:25am Parq: Who's show gets you complaints from the neighbors?
	9:25am Joe McG: Yay, I hope mine!
	9:27am Michele: Nice bagpipes — this should really start getting those pledges rolling in! hahaha. I hope you do, I miss you!
	9:28am Parq: Ev'ryone knows it's 'Gasko!
	9:30am Whosondephone: Bagpipes are difficult to record, and reproduce.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Michele: Ha ha! Always a crowdpleaser. @Parq: I like it!
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: Bagpipes reproduce in relative seclusion, preferring the cover of darkness. Perhaps a votive candle, for effect.
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: g'morning, troops.
	9:36am DCE: hello everybody!
	9:37am SeanG: Stoltz!
	9:42am northguineahills: I still hear bagpipes....
	9:43am Joe McG: @ngh: Maybe I should play some Big Country!
	9:46am dc pat: brother in town = bad for mornings
	9:46am holland oats: oh this is my jam right here
	9:48am northguineahills: Faye played this Feb 14th, haha.
	9:49am Michele: Love this song!!!!!
	9:49am Cecile: damn, missed the Seedies.
	9:49am duke: @Michele me too!
	9:51am holland oats: oh this is also my jam right here
	9:51am common: hell yea! gary numan!
	9:52am dc pat: once saw Paddy Keenan play the Irish pipes. You have to witness somebody playing those things.
	9:52am Joe McG: Has anybody seen that movie "Times Square"?
	9:54am dinatekno: YES!!! Loved that movie. Robin Johnson was fantastic!
	9:55am Joe McG: @dinatekno: Can you remember what scene "Down in the Park" plays during?
	9:56am holland oats: gaw i think i have that sdtk
	9:57am Parq: Never saw Times Square, but I remember the "Down in the Park" segment from "Urrgh; A Music War".
	9:58am common: love times square and urrgh. time capsules, both. this laugh clown laugh is pretty great, too.
	10:00am dinatekno: Oh yeah, the Tim Curry seduction scene....pretty intense. Fran N. Furter having it off with a minor!
	10:01am WKR-CP in Cincinnati: listening to you from afar today JMcG! in my cube, same as yoosh, but with too many dad-blasted distractions to properly commentate on every single detail of your show as I'm wont to do.
	👻 10:01am 12539: YouTube knows almost as much as Google: www.youtube.com...
	10:02am Joe McG: @WKR-CP: That's OK, Cheri, it's just real nice to know you're out there. @dinatekno: Oh yeah! Yuckety yuck! Tim Curry is the creepiest DJ ever in movies.
	10:08am PKNY: Speaking of Gary Numan, it was just announced he'll be doing an in-store at Vintage Vinyl in NJ at the end of the month: www.vvinyl.com...
	10:21am dc pat: no, really. I did.
	10:21am Cecile: I liked this song until the "come sail away" synths kicked in.
	10:22am dc pat: Pi! hope yer feeling ok.
	10:23am dc pat: ZEP!
	10:25am Dr. Goot: Does anyone still have the brown paper bag this album came in?
	10:26am Cecile: I had it for a long time until my sister left my copy at a party. :(
	10:27am Cecile: In retrospect, it's the Led Zep record that everyone who doesn't like Led Zep likes. So maybe not so much of a loss.
	👻 10:27am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe and and fellow McGascovites!
	10:28am John W: Gary Numan and Led Zeppelin. That combo takes me back to summer and fall 1980 with a force. That is the power of music.
	10:29am John W: Led Zep in Rocktober!
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & Co. Now everyone line up in Single File.
	10:30am Cecile: Is that How the West Was Won?
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Was there at Earls Court '75. Did you see me Joe? Half way down on the left.
	10:32am Cecile: yup, that's How The West Was Won.
	10:33am Cecile: Great DVD. Much better than The Song Remains the Same. That's a turgid movie.
	👻 10:34am tim from champaign: This weekend I'm DJing a wedding. I've got a bit of a technical dilemma which you guys might be able to help with. The groom requested for the last song of the night to be a slow jam being Prince's "Purple Rain" and then follow it up with "I Would Die 4 U" to send things out. So how can I seamlessly go from "Purple Rain" to "I Would Die 4 U"? The catch is I'm spinning vinyl only and only have one copy of the Purple Rain LP. There would be a few seconds of awkwardness while I cued up "I Would Die 4 U" and that would kill momentum.
	10:35am Cecile: Everyone will be too drunk to care, Tim. Is this the guy who wanted Frankie Teardrop at the reception?
	10:35am herb.nyc: i've taken out a couple of LED ZEP cd's from my library too. as i'm open to suggestion, and as my nephew is going thru a led zep phase, i see this on library & have hit "hold": nypl.bibliocommons.com... (and my ELO best-of is in transit to me)
	10:36am Cecile: yay, ronnie!
	10:36am common: i somehow knew it was going to be billy joel!
	10:36am Mike Noble: you wouldn't even make an exception for "allentown"?
	10:37am Cecile: or it's the visuals to how the west was won. Der.
	10:37am Parq: At least it isn't actually Billy Joel. I can overlook a lot when it comes to Ronnie.
	10:38am Cecile: I actually like some early Billy Joel. I'd rather listen to Billy Joel than Styx or Kansas in a heartbeat.
	👻 10:38am tim from champaign: herb - my favorite Zep is Houses of the Holy. that's when they start sounding like The Jesus Lizard.
	10:39am Cecile: hahahahahahaha tim
	10:39am Marcel M: No Quarter is awesome.
	10:40am Cecile: I play that like three times in a row whenever I play that record.
	👻 10:42am tim from champaign: I'd love to hear The Jesus Lizard cover No Quarter.
	10:42am Marcel M: Me too haha... I love that song.
	10:43am common: jesus lizard doing allentown would be hot!
	10:44am Cecile: best version of mellow yellow ever.
	👻 10:46am tim from champaign: What about The Jesus Lizard doing You Might Be Right?
	10:47am efd: ZAINE!!!!
	10:48am common: @tim: YES!
	10:50am Cecile: interesting guy, this zaine griff behind the scenes for a lot of interesting things.
	10:51am Marcel M: I thought he was saying Naked Pictures the whole time
	10:53am Tim from Hoboken: The smooth sound of Cream records...
	10:55am Joe McG: @Time: Yessss, straight from the Canyon. At least it sounds like it.
	10:55am BDR: HEY! It's Thelonious' 96th bday. You've an hour and six minutes.
	10:56am Joe McG: @BDR: That's weird, I had "At Carnegie Hall" in my bag yesterday, but not today! I'll see what I can do.
	10:56am Whosondephone: Killing It Joe!!!
	10:58am KP: Are these the Go Now guys?
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: When the White Eagle of the North is overhead. Wear a hat.
	10:59am Mike East: Joe McGasko! Thank god its you. That means the week is almost over.
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @KP Yes but without Denny Laine. Adding Justin Hayward.
	10:59am duke: Go Now is the only Moodys song I really like
	11:00am Joe McG: @Mike East: Ha ha! I knew I served a purpose!
	11:00am herb.nyc: that ZAINE song was real good, and sounds familiar. i wish i had a way-back machine. (thanks for Holy Houses tip, tim)
	11:00am dale: had to log on when i heard old moodies. holy crap - back to me in high school listening on the console
	11:01am Whosondephone: I was going to say the production sounded like the moody blues. I didn't think the band sounded like them though.
	11:02am Mike East: @JoeMcG - The great tunes are just an added benefit.
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: .....and John Lodge. Denny Laine had the voice. Remember buying Go Now when it came out.
	11:03am herb.nyc: single file is a 30min segment? if so, then i guess it's too late to request BManilow's "weakened in new england". for some reason, i'm really in the mood to hear it (I was a fan, back then)
	11:04am Cecile: this lea roberts is incredible.
	11:05am dale: was that a B side to the story in your eyes? most of every good boy was average at best, except someone - maybe julie in the overnight - played 'my song' once. pinder did some great melotron stuff.
	11:07am dale: that's odd -the a side from seventh sojourn and the b side from every good boy deserves favour? was that commonplace back in the day?
	11:08am Mike Noble: did zaine griff and kate bush take a spin class together or something?
	11:09am Cecile: dale, yep. It was a way of getting people to buy their other records. Wow, that Lea Roberts song now has me on a search...
	11:10am doca: @Parq: thanks for the sesame street clip, I only saw it now!
	11:15am Cecile: wow, great Lea version of All Right Now: www.youtube.com...
	11:16am Joe McG: @Mike Noble: Ha, they did!
	11:17am Joe McG: @dale: This did happen a lot back then, B-sides from older albums.
	11:19am Tim from Hoboken: I have had "Lorelei" stuck in my head ever since I heard that Phil Chevron died, and this is making me want to hear it even more (in a good way!)
	11:19am Stevel: John Prine makes me cry fairly often. I'm OK with that.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: It's half an enchilada and you think you're gonna drown.
	11:21am Dr. Goot: Thanks for the Prine Birthday tribute!
	11:21am Cecile: hey, you got Angel from Montgomery around there?
	11:21am herb.nyc: joe, i just emailed you something that kris kristofferson wrote, about john prime. it's very sweet.
	11:21am Joe McG: @Stevel: I wasn't going to play "Hello in There" since it reduces me to tears, but I cued it wrong and got it anyway. Boo hoo!
	11:21am Joe McG: @herb: Thanks, Herb!
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: Produced by Steve Goodman. He was a Good Man.
	11:23am Joe McG: I could play John Prine for 3 hours, but I'll keep it to a handful. We'll do "Angel" another day, Cecile. What a song.
	11:24am duke: @Joe, @Stevel that song always does that to me also.
	11:24am herb.nyc: well since brian mentioned STEVE GOODMAN, what i sent joe was a story of how steve got kris (and others?) to hear john sing. (that's the simplified version)
	11:25am dale: when i hear hello in there i also wanna hear 16th avenue by lacy j dalton. not quite as sad, but just as lonely
	11:26am Stevel: "She gets it on like the Easter Bunny" helps dry the tears, of melancholy at least.
	11:27am Parq: Herb, that would, I'm guessing, be the occasion that prompted Kristoferson to say of Prine, "He's so good we might have to break his fingers."
	11:27am herb.nyc: aside: i got an IRIS DEMENT cassette for 25cents at library. liner notes had her write so lovingly of her ultra-religious father who had a guitar mounted on the wall, but no one was allowed to play it.
	11:27am KevinfromBayRidge: Prine & Dement! Talk about a deadly duo!
	11:27am KP: Prine is def a guy you get nervous about when you hear a few in a row.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: @Kevin Ain't that the truth.
	11:30am dale: oh man this duet is good. there was a great display of porter's wagonmaster outfits at the grand ole opry when i stopped in there in the 80s
	11:31am KP: I had a friend at work who was a recording artist. I told her i saw Nancy Griffith at Carnegie Hall and loved it. Nancy was the opener. She asked who the headliner was and i said John Prine, but i never cared for him and walked out. She said, John Prine signed me, and walked out of the room.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Becca Parton. Excuse me too.
	11:32am Cecile: drunk history - dolly parton www.youtube.com...
	11:33am Dean: Mmmm...some Larry Hosford'd sound good right about now.
	11:33am Tim from Hoboken: This is the must stirring paean to Western Wisconsin I have ever heard.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Now Nancy Griffith has a mighty powerful voice. Used to be married to Eric Taylor. If you want some serious songs, he is your man.
	11:36am CDToaster: It's wonderful shows such as Joe's that make me grateful to contribute to the cause. Thanks Joe!
	11:37am KP: Eric Taylor? Thanks Brian.
	11:38am Joe McG: Wow, thanks for the kind words, CDToaster!
	11:39am herb.nyc: @parq - the fingers remark was not in the 1 page thingy from liner notes (to what record? can't recall.)
	11:39am KP: Oops, "Nanci." I also used to be big fan of Iris Dement. I got a Christmas card her.
	11:41am Parq: Herb, I just remember reading that quote the first time Rolling Stone wrote about Prine in the early 70s. God, the things we remember when we can't even remember what we came into the room for.
	11:42am Cecile: I'm assuiming that the "dirty dog" can be cleaned up with sulfa drugs...
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Linda Thompso's voice is holding up well. @Parq I totally agree. What did you say?
	11:44am Jay/London: Hi Joe just got back from hospital what a nice show you have
	11:45am Dean: Sacred Steel, yeah. More Arhoolie!
	11:45am Joe McG: @Jay: Gee, I hope it wasn't anything too serious! I was there this summer, so I know what you're talking about.
	11:45am kirk from beer city usa: tim f. c., if you are still there, the obvious solution is to lay out the $4 max it should take to buy a second copy of purple rain. I'd loan you mine if that were feasible.
	11:46am kirk from beer city usa: damn, looks like I missed (most of) a great show. ac/dc, gary numan, linda thompson...
	11:46am Jack: loving the show, too bad they make me work and miss some of it...
	👻 11:47am tim from champaign: Yeah, I thought of that Kirk. Believe it or not, I can't find a copy in town at the moment. How was St. Vitus?
	11:47am KP: Jay, hope you are good now.
	11:47am Jay/London: no not bad joe just a test i have 2 more to go feel a bit spacey after this one so your show is just what the doc ordered
	11:48am KP: Joe McSpacey.
	11:48am Joe McG: Excellent to hear, Jay. Howdy to you, Jack! Sorry these slavedrivers are keeping you away from me.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Hello Jay, take a seat at the back and open a cold one.
	11:49am Joe McG: @KP: Most of the time, ha! Thanks, KP, in case I forget.
	11:49am Jay/London: thanks KP I hope so, see what the tests bring forth
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Is that the time. Joe, does your show run in a time warp?
	11:51am Mike Noble: @Joe, forgot to thank you for playing Cal Hand a couple of weeks ago. manged to get myself a copy of the wylie butler last week!
	11:51am Jay/London: @ Brian just coffee and cake for the time being maybe a whiskey later on
	11:51am Joe McG: Yes, Brian, I'm doing the time warp...again!
	11:52am Joe McG: @Mike Noble: Good find, Mike!
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: Take care of yourself, Jay.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Grateful for the musical diversity, as usual, Joe. Makes for a fine Thursday morning listening. Catch ya next time!
	11:54am Jay/London: oh i will brian thanks :)
	11:54am Cecile: Jay, healing thoughts to you.
	11:55am KP: See ya Joe. Nice work.
	11:56am Jay/London: thanks ceciile
	11:56am herb.nyc: didn't thelonious monk also have a duet with iris dement?
	11:56am Mike Noble: It's also Verdi's birthday.
	11:57am Mike Noble: And Ivory Joe Hunter.
	11:58am Joe McG: Geez, a lot of birthdays! Have a great week everybody. All live show special next week. Bring your lighters!
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Jay/London: think its phones nowadays joe
	11:59am herb.nyc: a b'day note: if you have about 25, 26 people in a room, there's a 50-50 chance 2 will share the same b'day. (go google it to confirm)
	11:59am Mike Noble: also Frederick Barthelme, brother to Donald Barthelme and founding member of the Red Krayola.

	9:15am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! Hope you're feeling good! @Michele: I'm going to try! :)
	9:19am SeanG: @Meghan-- Totally! those intro bagpipes are ingrained in my brain
	9:23am trs: In Nova Scotia, you can find individuals practicing their pipes outward to the sea as if on some Scottish moor.
	9:24am KevinfromBayRidge: G'Morning Joe & McGaskoers, Need these pipes on such a gray day. Have to think about the performance space!
	9:25am Parq: Who's show gets you complaints from the neighbors?
	9:25am Joe McG: Yay, I hope mine!
	9:27am Michele: Nice bagpipes — this should really start getting those pledges rolling in! hahaha. I hope you do, I miss you!
	9:28am Parq: Ev'ryone knows it's 'Gasko!
	9:30am Whosondephone: Bagpipes are difficult to record, and reproduce.
	9:34am Joe McG: @Michele: Ha ha! Always a crowdpleaser. @Parq: I like it!
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: Bagpipes reproduce in relative seclusion, preferring the cover of darkness. Perhaps a votive candle, for effect.
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: g'morning, troops.
	9:36am DCE: hello everybody!
	9:37am SeanG: Stoltz!
	9:42am northguineahills: I still hear bagpipes....
	9:43am Joe McG: @ngh: Maybe I should play some Big Country!
	9:46am dc pat: brother in town = bad for mornings
	9:46am holland oats: oh this is my jam right here
	9:48am northguineahills: Faye played this Feb 14th, haha.
	9:49am Michele: Love this song!!!!!
	9:49am Cecile: damn, missed the Seedies.
	9:49am duke: @Michele me too!
	9:51am holland oats: oh this is also my jam right here
	9:51am common: hell yea! gary numan!
	9:52am dc pat: once saw Paddy Keenan play the Irish pipes. You have to witness somebody playing those things.
	9:52am Joe McG: Has anybody seen that movie "Times Square"?
	9:54am dinatekno: YES!!! Loved that movie. Robin Johnson was fantastic!
	9:55am Joe McG: @dinatekno: Can you remember what scene "Down in the Park" plays during?
	9:56am holland oats: gaw i think i have that sdtk
	9:57am Parq: Never saw Times Square, but I remember the "Down in the Park" segment from "Urrgh; A Music War".
	9:58am common: love times square and urrgh. time capsules, both. this laugh clown laugh is pretty great, too.
	10:00am dinatekno: Oh yeah, the Tim Curry seduction scene....pretty intense. Fran N. Furter having it off with a minor!
	10:01am WKR-CP in Cincinnati: listening to you from afar today JMcG! in my cube, same as yoosh, but with too many dad-blasted distractions to properly commentate on every single detail of your show as I'm wont to do.
	👻 10:01am 12539: YouTube knows almost as much as Google: www.youtube.com...
	10:02am Joe McG: @WKR-CP: That's OK, Cheri, it's just real nice to know you're out there. @dinatekno: Oh yeah! Yuckety yuck! Tim Curry is the creepiest DJ ever in movies.
	10:08am PKNY: Speaking of Gary Numan, it was just announced he'll be doing an in-store at Vintage Vinyl in NJ at the end of the month: www.vvinyl.com...
	10:21am dc pat: no, really. I did.
	10:21am Cecile: I liked this song until the "come sail away" synths kicked in.
	10:22am dc pat: Pi! hope yer feeling ok.
	10:23am dc pat: ZEP!
	10:25am Dr. Goot: Does anyone still have the brown paper bag this album came in?
	10:26am Cecile: I had it for a long time until my sister left my copy at a party. :(
	10:27am Cecile: In retrospect, it's the Led Zep record that everyone who doesn't like Led Zep likes. So maybe not so much of a loss.
	👻 10:27am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe and and fellow McGascovites!
	10:28am John W: Gary Numan and Led Zeppelin. That combo takes me back to summer and fall 1980 with a force. That is the power of music.
	10:29am John W: Led Zep in Rocktober!
	👻 10:30am Brian in UK: Hello Joe & Co. Now everyone line up in Single File.
	10:30am Cecile: Is that How the West Was Won?
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: Was there at Earls Court '75. Did you see me Joe? Half way down on the left.
	10:32am Cecile: yup, that's How The West Was Won.
	10:33am Cecile: Great DVD. Much better than The Song Remains the Same. That's a turgid movie.
	👻 10:34am tim from champaign: This weekend I'm DJing a wedding. I've got a bit of a technical dilemma which you guys might be able to help with. The groom requested for the last song of the night to be a slow jam being Prince's "Purple Rain" and then follow it up with "I Would Die 4 U" to send things out. So how can I seamlessly go from "Purple Rain" to "I Would Die 4 U"? The catch is I'm spinning vinyl only and only have one copy of the Purple Rain LP. There would be a few seconds of awkwardness while I cued up "I Would Die 4 U" and that would kill momentum.
	10:35am Cecile: Everyone will be too drunk to care, Tim. Is this the guy who wanted Frankie Teardrop at the reception?
	10:35am herb.nyc: i've taken out a couple of LED ZEP cd's from my library too. as i'm open to suggestion, and as my nephew is going thru a led zep phase, i see this on library & have hit "hold": nypl.bibliocommons.com... (and my ELO best-of is in transit to me)
	10:36am Cecile: yay, ronnie!
	10:36am common: i somehow knew it was going to be billy joel!
	10:36am Mike Noble: you wouldn't even make an exception for "allentown"?
	10:37am Cecile: or it's the visuals to how the west was won. Der.
	10:37am Parq: At least it isn't actually Billy Joel. I can overlook a lot when it comes to Ronnie.
	10:38am Cecile: I actually like some early Billy Joel. I'd rather listen to Billy Joel than Styx or Kansas in a heartbeat.
	👻 10:38am tim from champaign: herb - my favorite Zep is Houses of the Holy. that's when they start sounding like The Jesus Lizard.
	10:39am Cecile: hahahahahahaha tim
	10:39am Marcel M: No Quarter is awesome.
	10:40am Cecile: I play that like three times in a row whenever I play that record.
	👻 10:42am tim from champaign: I'd love to hear The Jesus Lizard cover No Quarter.
	10:42am Marcel M: Me too haha... I love that song.
	10:43am common: jesus lizard doing allentown would be hot!
	10:44am Cecile: best version of mellow yellow ever.
	👻 10:46am tim from champaign: What about The Jesus Lizard doing You Might Be Right?
	10:47am efd: ZAINE!!!!
	10:48am common: @tim: YES!
	10:50am Cecile: interesting guy, this zaine griff behind the scenes for a lot of interesting things.
	10:51am Marcel M: I thought he was saying Naked Pictures the whole time
	10:53am Tim from Hoboken: The smooth sound of Cream records...
	10:55am Joe McG: @Time: Yessss, straight from the Canyon. At least it sounds like it.
	10:55am BDR: HEY! It's Thelonious' 96th bday. You've an hour and six minutes.
	10:56am Joe McG: @BDR: That's weird, I had "At Carnegie Hall" in my bag yesterday, but not today! I'll see what I can do.
	10:56am Whosondephone: Killing It Joe!!!
	10:58am KP: Are these the Go Now guys?
	👻 10:58am Brian in UK: When the White Eagle of the North is overhead. Wear a hat.
	10:59am Mike East: Joe McGasko! Thank god its you. That means the week is almost over.
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: @KP Yes but without Denny Laine. Adding Justin Hayward.
	10:59am duke: Go Now is the only Moodys song I really like
	11:00am Joe McG: @Mike East: Ha ha! I knew I served a purpose!
	11:00am herb.nyc: that ZAINE song was real good, and sounds familiar. i wish i had a way-back machine. (thanks for Holy Houses tip, tim)
	11:00am dale: had to log on when i heard old moodies. holy crap - back to me in high school listening on the console
	11:01am Whosondephone: I was going to say the production sounded like the moody blues. I didn't think the band sounded like them though.
	11:02am Mike East: @JoeMcG - The great tunes are just an added benefit.
	👻 11:02am Brian in UK: .....and John Lodge. Denny Laine had the voice. Remember buying Go Now when it came out.
	11:03am herb.nyc: single file is a 30min segment? if so, then i guess it's too late to request BManilow's "weakened in new england". for some reason, i'm really in the mood to hear it (I was a fan, back then)
	11:04am Cecile: this lea roberts is incredible.
	11:05am dale: was that a B side to the story in your eyes? most of every good boy was average at best, except someone - maybe julie in the overnight - played 'my song' once. pinder did some great melotron stuff.
	11:07am dale: that's odd -the a side from seventh sojourn and the b side from every good boy deserves favour? was that commonplace back in the day?
	11:08am Mike Noble: did zaine griff and kate bush take a spin class together or something?
	11:09am Cecile: dale, yep. It was a way of getting people to buy their other records. Wow, that Lea Roberts song now has me on a search...
	11:10am doca: @Parq: thanks for the sesame street clip, I only saw it now!
	11:15am Cecile: wow, great Lea version of All Right Now: www.youtube.com...
	11:16am Joe McG: @Mike Noble: Ha, they did!
	11:17am Joe McG: @dale: This did happen a lot back then, B-sides from older albums.
	11:19am Tim from Hoboken: I have had "Lorelei" stuck in my head ever since I heard that Phil Chevron died, and this is making me want to hear it even more (in a good way!)
	11:19am Stevel: John Prine makes me cry fairly often. I'm OK with that.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: It's half an enchilada and you think you're gonna drown.
	11:21am Dr. Goot: Thanks for the Prine Birthday tribute!
	11:21am Cecile: hey, you got Angel from Montgomery around there?
	11:21am herb.nyc: joe, i just emailed you something that kris kristofferson wrote, about john prime. it's very sweet.
	11:21am Joe McG: @Stevel: I wasn't going to play "Hello in There" since it reduces me to tears, but I cued it wrong and got it anyway. Boo hoo!
	11:21am Joe McG: @herb: Thanks, Herb!
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: Produced by Steve Goodman. He was a Good Man.
	11:23am Joe McG: I could play John Prine for 3 hours, but I'll keep it to a handful. We'll do "Angel" another day, Cecile. What a song.
	11:24am duke: @Joe, @Stevel that song always does that to me also.
	11:24am herb.nyc: well since brian mentioned STEVE GOODMAN, what i sent joe was a story of how steve got kris (and others?) to hear john sing. (that's the simplified version)
	11:25am dale: when i hear hello in there i also wanna hear 16th avenue by lacy j dalton. not quite as sad, but just as lonely
	11:26am Stevel: "She gets it on like the Easter Bunny" helps dry the tears, of melancholy at least.
	11:27am Parq: Herb, that would, I'm guessing, be the occasion that prompted Kristoferson to say of Prine, "He's so good we might have to break his fingers."
	11:27am herb.nyc: aside: i got an IRIS DEMENT cassette for 25cents at library. liner notes had her write so lovingly of her ultra-religious father who had a guitar mounted on the wall, but no one was allowed to play it.
	11:27am KevinfromBayRidge: Prine & Dement! Talk about a deadly duo!
	11:27am KP: Prine is def a guy you get nervous about when you hear a few in a row.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: @Kevin Ain't that the truth.
	11:30am dale: oh man this duet is good. there was a great display of porter's wagonmaster outfits at the grand ole opry when i stopped in there in the 80s
	11:31am KP: I had a friend at work who was a recording artist. I told her i saw Nancy Griffith at Carnegie Hall and loved it. Nancy was the opener. She asked who the headliner was and i said John Prine, but i never cared for him and walked out. She said, John Prine signed me, and walked out of the room.
	👻 11:31am Brian in UK: Becca Parton. Excuse me too.
	11:32am Cecile: drunk history - dolly parton www.youtube.com...
	11:33am Dean: Mmmm...some Larry Hosford'd sound good right about now.
	11:33am Tim from Hoboken: This is the must stirring paean to Western Wisconsin I have ever heard.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Now Nancy Griffith has a mighty powerful voice. Used to be married to Eric Taylor. If you want some serious songs, he is your man.
	11:36am CDToaster: It's wonderful shows such as Joe's that make me grateful to contribute to the cause. Thanks Joe!
	11:37am KP: Eric Taylor? Thanks Brian.
	11:38am Joe McG: Wow, thanks for the kind words, CDToaster!
	11:39am herb.nyc: @parq - the fingers remark was not in the 1 page thingy from liner notes (to what record? can't recall.)
	11:39am KP: Oops, "Nanci." I also used to be big fan of Iris Dement. I got a Christmas card her.
	11:41am Parq: Herb, I just remember reading that quote the first time Rolling Stone wrote about Prine in the early 70s. God, the things we remember when we can't even remember what we came into the room for.
	11:42am Cecile: I'm assuiming that the "dirty dog" can be cleaned up with sulfa drugs...
	👻 11:43am Brian in UK: Linda Thompso's voice is holding up well. @Parq I totally agree. What did you say?
	11:44am Jay/London: Hi Joe just got back from hospital what a nice show you have
	11:45am Dean: Sacred Steel, yeah. More Arhoolie!
	11:45am Joe McG: @Jay: Gee, I hope it wasn't anything too serious! I was there this summer, so I know what you're talking about.
	11:45am kirk from beer city usa: tim f. c., if you are still there, the obvious solution is to lay out the $4 max it should take to buy a second copy of purple rain. I'd loan you mine if that were feasible.
	11:46am kirk from beer city usa: damn, looks like I missed (most of) a great show. ac/dc, gary numan, linda thompson...
	11:46am Jack: loving the show, too bad they make me work and miss some of it...
	👻 11:47am tim from champaign: Yeah, I thought of that Kirk. Believe it or not, I can't find a copy in town at the moment. How was St. Vitus?
	11:47am KP: Jay, hope you are good now.
	11:47am Jay/London: no not bad joe just a test i have 2 more to go feel a bit spacey after this one so your show is just what the doc ordered
	11:48am KP: Joe McSpacey.
	11:48am Joe McG: Excellent to hear, Jay. Howdy to you, Jack! Sorry these slavedrivers are keeping you away from me.
	👻 11:49am Brian in UK: Hello Jay, take a seat at the back and open a cold one.
	11:49am Joe McG: @KP: Most of the time, ha! Thanks, KP, in case I forget.
	11:49am Jay/London: thanks KP I hope so, see what the tests bring forth
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Is that the time. Joe, does your show run in a time warp?
	11:51am Mike Noble: @Joe, forgot to thank you for playing Cal Hand a couple of weeks ago. manged to get myself a copy of the wylie butler last week!
	11:51am Jay/London: @ Brian just coffee and cake for the time being maybe a whiskey later on
	11:51am Joe McG: Yes, Brian, I'm doing the time warp...again!
	11:52am Joe McG: @Mike Noble: Good find, Mike!
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: Take care of yourself, Jay.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Grateful for the musical diversity, as usual, Joe. Makes for a fine Thursday morning listening. Catch ya next time!
	11:54am Jay/London: oh i will brian thanks :)
	11:54am Cecile: Jay, healing thoughts to you.
	11:55am KP: See ya Joe. Nice work.
	11:56am Jay/London: thanks ceciile
	11:56am herb.nyc: didn't thelonious monk also have a duet with iris dement?
	11:56am Mike Noble: It's also Verdi's birthday.
	11:57am Mike Noble: And Ivory Joe Hunter.
	11:58am Joe McG: Geez, a lot of birthdays! Have a great week everybody. All live show special next week. Bring your lighters!
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks Joe!
	11:59am Jay/London: think its phones nowadays joe
	11:59am herb.nyc: a b'day note: if you have about 25, 26 people in a room, there's a 50-50 chance 2 will share the same b'day. (go google it to confirm)
	11:59am Mike Noble: also Frederick Barthelme, brother to Donald Barthelme and founding member of the Red Krayola.
