	👻 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Nick Lucas was the original "Tiptoe Thru the Tulips" singer!

	9:31am dale: bing being uncharacteristically powerful
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1917 has widely been thot the year of 'The 1st Jazz Record' by the 'Original Dixieland Jass Band' (...who were Italians or something??...& tho' some rumbling about other recorded evidences) - so we've reached the Centennial.
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Bing was right in there & a pretty outspoken Jazz booster when it was looked down on as 'race music'? He's always credited as the Pioneer Crooner, &tc.

	9:37am fredr: Wow Joe! I didn't know about Rich Conaty, hence your opening set. Listened to him for many years. RIP!
	👻 9:40am tadpoles: Thank heaven for recorded music.
	9:42am KH: Joe, that would be "Monkey Business." Great start to Surface Noise and RIP Rich Conaty.

	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...MonkeyBiz - packing all the people into the room on the ship...in the 20thCentury we had three stations via antenna - & they apparently owned movies they'd show once a year. When the Marx Bros. came up it was a treat. This way we were informed of the earlier part of the century - & thus the whole edifice of the 20thC recedes as one over the horizon of the sea of time (if accessible on YouTube & the like)...
	9:51am Joe McG: Thanks for the link, Dave. Agree with you folks that this legacy of recorded sound is worth preserving, as much as we can. Preferably not on bad mp3s.
	9:58am jiepar: solange! exactly what my heart desired at this moment
	9:59am Cooh John: Good morning Joe and all. Starting 2017 right.
	10:01am Harpo: Happy New Year All.... Joe thanks for the Conaty set...as soon as i heard the first 2 songsI Knew Why.. If any one is from NYC area Old ch. 5 played all the Marx Bros. Customs Agent to Harpo: If Your Maurice Chevalier! Sing me a song...... Harpo has wind up record player behind him With Chevalier record playing that winds down..... Stateroom scene is from Night at the Opera.....
	10:03am Joe McG: @Harpo: That scene makes me howl!
	10:04am jiepar: more disco swagga from Beck, pls
	10:08am jiepar: yeyeahh perfect ha
	👻 10:08am tadpoles: Right on Joe! The Beck was reminding me of FOTC! Excellent.
	10:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if zee nighteeengale - shee sing lahk yoo - she seeng much better than yoo do ...always a limited set of people would get that reference ...& these are today's Chevalier spoofers, I suppose!...
	👻 10:13am Hughie Considine: Loving the falsetto fest, Joe -- I'm thinking Pete Wingfield's "18 With a Bullet" would fit right in.
	10:18am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha, good idea!
	👻 10:33am Webhamster Henry: 2016 didn't get Dick Hyman, someone should interview him! He's turning 90, having a birthday show in Sarasota.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Henry: Damn, you ain't kidding! I didn't know he was still alive. Maybe I will get in touch...
	10:39am Marc Francis: The SEEEEEEEG!
	10:41am Joe McG: I just saw the ghost of Nachum Segal, which distracted me! Sorry about the 45 blooper.
	10:41am melinda: This has a nice vibe
	10:43am Listner Alexandra: Good morning, Joe :-)
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: Joe was the flip of the Alan Bown called We Can Help You?
	10:44am Joe McG: Glad you're listening, Alex, I have something for you after Single File. @Brian: No, it's "Storybook" (which is actually the A-side). Happy new year, Brian!
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe HNY to you my friend. Hope the cold clears up soon. Saw The Alan Bown in '68. Yes, that old!
	10:47am John W.: Happy New Year Joe! What you will be spinning in 2017 is something to look forward to.
	10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian. Wowzer! @John: Thanks for the kind words! Happy new year to you, too! I'm having as much fun doing this as I ever did, so I hope to play music for you for a long time to come....
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - some thing Ella is on a panel w/ some noted Symphony Conductor - & she says 'I'm not a musician' - & he says 'are you going to make me disagree w/ you?' Musician is exactly what she is.
	10:51am Joe McG: @RR63: Almost more a musician than a singer, if that makes any sense!
	10:53am Listner Alexandra: Can't wait...I actually got up at 7 am so I wouldn't miss too much of the show :-)
	10:58am Joe McG: @Alex: Aw, sorry to make you wait! I was trying to get it into the second set, but it just didn't fit once I went in the soul direction.
	11:00am Scraps: Carla "I hate to sing" Bley
	11:01am Scraps: Q: Do you know what Carla's maiden name was?
	11:01am Scraps: A: Borg
	11:02am Listner Alexandra: It's all good, friend. My 7 am is your 10 am ;-)
	11:03am Joe McG: Thanks for the Carla Bley trivia, Scraps!
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: Joe. That medication is working well.
	11:07am MD: That was great! All My questions have been answered!!!
	11:11am Scraps: Lyrics for Escalator Over the Hill by Paul Haines.
	11:13am MD: The Alan Bown District!
	11:14am MD: Yeah I have been listening from home all week...Weird!
	11:14am blaumann: Cicero Blake was born in Mississippi. He moved to Chicago in the fifties.
	11:15am MD: I like my potatoes a bit sluty...
	11:16am melinda: I want to hear what Chastity Potato sounds like too.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: The discussion with Brian, Fabio and others is worth a listen.
	11:16am MD: toes also...
	11:16am Scraps: Apparently Ramblin Gamblin Man was a hit in its original release, peaking at 17
	11:17am MD: 333 a band!
	11:18am Sem Chumbo: There will be beer. Joe, the Nostradamus of Jersey City.
	11:20am Listner Alexandra: Best "son" ever :-) And best song ever!!!
	11:22am Sem Chumbo: The Hunter Thompson-Debbie Reynolds connection: "According to Terry Gilliam's commentary on the Criterion DVD, in the scene where Raoul and Gonzo raise havoc at the Debbie Reynolds concert, the voice heard in that scene that is supposed to be Reynolds singing actually IS Reynolds. Gilliam is friends with Carrie Fisher, Reynolds' daughter, who spoke to her mother about recording a couple lines for the movie, and Reynolds agreed. "
	11:23am Joe McG: @Alex: Glad you enjoyed it! @Sem: Nice story, and happy new year to you!
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - because she was that Kewl. - Les & Mary :)
	11:24am Guido from Cologne: There is that John Cale Song on Nico#s first album "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" with the line "Dream Your Troubles Away". Any relation?
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: @Sem read(infused) the book never wanted to see the film much as I like Terry Gilliam.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Guido: I don't remember! :)
	11:28am Sem Chumbo: Know large swaths of the book almost by heart. BiUK. And you are correct, we carry our own set designers etc. in our heads, though Gilliam is some kind of twisted genius.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It doesn't end up harming the book - just one vivid illustration. (It got to where everything Kewl had to presented by Johnny Depp - but that's ok. So we have the same heroes - we're the same age...) There was already Ralph Steadman - which is definitive.
	11:31am northguineahills: Faye was playing a track off the Devon Folklore Tapes yesterday, and that track was awesome too!
	11:32am melinda: I like the Blackbird. Tweet tweet
	11:33am Joe McG: @ngh: This is a very short but lovely EP!
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Sem the opposite was true of Le grand Meaulnes. I saw this amazing 1967 film then read the book. www.imdb.com... then fell in love with Brigitte Fossey.
	11:35am common: happy new thing, joe and all.
	11:36am dale: we heard some of this last folklore tapes last night. how does one get a digital copy if it's just a limited issue vinyl pressing?
	11:36am Joe McG: Heya, common, ain't it nice we got this new thing? Let's see what we do with it.
	11:36am common: indeed
	11:37am Jeff g.: Thanks for the 17 good vibez Joe.
	11:37am jiepar: purrrrdy
	11:37am Sem Chumbo: Much obliged, Brian, left some tabs open to look into it later today. As always, thanks for the lead, or "chumbo" as we like to call it here.
	11:37am Joe McG: @dale: I don't know, but it's a very pretty artifact if you can get your hands on an old turntable.
	11:38am Joe McG: Same back to you, jeff g. Keep up the good work!
	👻 11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: My dear mother just called to alert me that the Rose Bowl parade is on TV commercial-free on the Hallmark Channel. Had to refer to the listings to find out what channel number that is.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: If only the acid had not fried Peter Green's mind.
	11:45am Brendan: Hi Joe and Surface dwellers. Late to the great sounding show, but here I am ( rock you like a hurricane).
	11:45am Joe McG: Happy new year to you, Brendan!
	11:49am Frank Zaatar: Fantastic version of Misty Roses by Colin Blumstone. Any idea who arranged it?
	11:49am Sem Chumbo: Une bonne nouvelle année à vous @ Joe, et la santé pour en profiter pleinement.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Delicious, Joe. Perfect.
	11:50am Joe McG: Merci, Sem! :)
	11:51am Joe McG: @Frank: No, but likely Rod Argent. @Brian: I finally found it on vinyl last month!
	11:52am judy from croton: Oh, Joe, What a show. Moves me so.
	11:53am dale: wow - this is a downer. a beautiful downer.
	11:53am holland oats: never heard this, v beautiful
	11:54am Scraps: Ackles sounds like he's very influenced by Scott Walker
	11:54am holland oats: string section sounds identical to blunstone track
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Relations of Eleanor Rigby ...& presumably some Art Music I'm ignorant of...
	11:55am Brendan: @dale it was the perfect antidote to to walking on sunshine
	11:55am Listner Alexandra: Completely perfect last song, Joe :-)
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening today, everybody. Got a bit serious and morose for a new year's day. I guess, but there's hope in there, right? Anyway, have a great week and I'll see you next time!
	11:56am pantz: Great show, Joe. See ya next Monday.
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: Get well soon, Joe. Take care everyone.
	11:57am Scraps: Wikipedia says Elton John and Elvis Costello were "fervent admirers" of Ackles.
	11:58am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Scraps: Google Translate says "obnoxious". :-)
	3:07pm Mark in Toronto: It just occurred to me re: Dick Hyman "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!"
	3:22pm Joe McG: Ha ha!
	10:44pm Listener Robert: Darn, I just now (over a year later) found out Rich Conaty died.

	10:18am Joe McG: @Hughie: Ha, good idea!
	👻 10:33am Webhamster Henry: 2016 didn't get Dick Hyman, someone should interview him! He's turning 90, having a birthday show in Sarasota.
	10:37am Joe McG: @Henry: Damn, you ain't kidding! I didn't know he was still alive. Maybe I will get in touch...
	10:39am Marc Francis: The SEEEEEEEG!
	10:41am Joe McG: I just saw the ghost of Nachum Segal, which distracted me! Sorry about the 45 blooper.
	10:41am melinda: This has a nice vibe
	10:43am Listner Alexandra: Good morning, Joe :-)
	👻 10:43am Brian in UK: Joe was the flip of the Alan Bown called We Can Help You?
	10:44am Joe McG: Glad you're listening, Alex, I have something for you after Single File. @Brian: No, it's "Storybook" (which is actually the A-side). Happy new year, Brian!
	👻 10:46am Brian in UK: Joe HNY to you my friend. Hope the cold clears up soon. Saw The Alan Bown in '68. Yes, that old!
	10:47am John W.: Happy New Year Joe! What you will be spinning in 2017 is something to look forward to.
	10:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian. Wowzer! @John: Thanks for the kind words! Happy new year to you, too! I'm having as much fun doing this as I ever did, so I hope to play music for you for a long time to come....
	10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - some thing Ella is on a panel w/ some noted Symphony Conductor - & she says 'I'm not a musician' - & he says 'are you going to make me disagree w/ you?' Musician is exactly what she is.
	10:51am Joe McG: @RR63: Almost more a musician than a singer, if that makes any sense!
	10:53am Listner Alexandra: Can't wait...I actually got up at 7 am so I wouldn't miss too much of the show :-)
	10:58am Joe McG: @Alex: Aw, sorry to make you wait! I was trying to get it into the second set, but it just didn't fit once I went in the soul direction.
	11:00am Scraps: Carla "I hate to sing" Bley
	11:01am Scraps: Q: Do you know what Carla's maiden name was?
	11:01am Scraps: A: Borg
	11:02am Listner Alexandra: It's all good, friend. My 7 am is your 10 am ;-)
	11:03am Joe McG: Thanks for the Carla Bley trivia, Scraps!
	👻 11:07am Brian in UK: Joe. That medication is working well.
	11:07am MD: That was great! All My questions have been answered!!!
	11:11am Scraps: Lyrics for Escalator Over the Hill by Paul Haines.
	11:13am MD: The Alan Bown District!
	11:14am MD: Yeah I have been listening from home all week...Weird!
	11:14am blaumann: Cicero Blake was born in Mississippi. He moved to Chicago in the fifties.
	11:15am MD: I like my potatoes a bit sluty...
	11:16am melinda: I want to hear what Chastity Potato sounds like too.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: The discussion with Brian, Fabio and others is worth a listen.
	11:16am MD: toes also...
	11:16am Scraps: Apparently Ramblin Gamblin Man was a hit in its original release, peaking at 17
	11:17am MD: 333 a band!
	11:18am Sem Chumbo: There will be beer. Joe, the Nostradamus of Jersey City.
	11:20am Listner Alexandra: Best "son" ever :-) And best song ever!!!
	11:22am Sem Chumbo: The Hunter Thompson-Debbie Reynolds connection: "According to Terry Gilliam's commentary on the Criterion DVD, in the scene where Raoul and Gonzo raise havoc at the Debbie Reynolds concert, the voice heard in that scene that is supposed to be Reynolds singing actually IS Reynolds. Gilliam is friends with Carrie Fisher, Reynolds' daughter, who spoke to her mother about recording a couple lines for the movie, and Reynolds agreed. "
	11:23am Joe McG: @Alex: Glad you enjoyed it! @Sem: Nice story, and happy new year to you!
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - because she was that Kewl. - Les & Mary :)
	11:24am Guido from Cologne: There is that John Cale Song on Nico#s first album "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" with the line "Dream Your Troubles Away". Any relation?
	👻 11:25am Brian in UK: @Sem read(infused) the book never wanted to see the film much as I like Terry Gilliam.
	11:25am Joe McG: @Guido: I don't remember! :)
	11:28am Sem Chumbo: Know large swaths of the book almost by heart. BiUK. And you are correct, we carry our own set designers etc. in our heads, though Gilliam is some kind of twisted genius.
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It doesn't end up harming the book - just one vivid illustration. (It got to where everything Kewl had to presented by Johnny Depp - but that's ok. So we have the same heroes - we're the same age...) There was already Ralph Steadman - which is definitive.
	11:31am northguineahills: Faye was playing a track off the Devon Folklore Tapes yesterday, and that track was awesome too!
	11:32am melinda: I like the Blackbird. Tweet tweet
	11:33am Joe McG: @ngh: This is a very short but lovely EP!

	11:36am dale: we heard some of this last folklore tapes last night. how does one get a digital copy if it's just a limited issue vinyl pressing?

	11:36am common: indeed
	11:37am Jeff g.: Thanks for the 17 good vibez Joe.
	11:37am jiepar: purrrrdy
	11:37am Sem Chumbo: Much obliged, Brian, left some tabs open to look into it later today. As always, thanks for the lead, or "chumbo" as we like to call it here.
	11:37am Joe McG: @dale: I don't know, but it's a very pretty artifact if you can get your hands on an old turntable.
	11:38am Joe McG: Same back to you, jeff g. Keep up the good work!
	👻 11:39am Ken From Hyde Park: My dear mother just called to alert me that the Rose Bowl parade is on TV commercial-free on the Hallmark Channel. Had to refer to the listings to find out what channel number that is.
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: If only the acid had not fried Peter Green's mind.
	11:45am Brendan: Hi Joe and Surface dwellers. Late to the great sounding show, but here I am ( rock you like a hurricane).
	11:45am Joe McG: Happy new year to you, Brendan!

	11:53am holland oats: never heard this, v beautiful
	11:54am Scraps: Ackles sounds like he's very influenced by Scott Walker
	11:54am holland oats: string section sounds identical to blunstone track
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Relations of Eleanor Rigby ...& presumably some Art Music I'm ignorant of...
	11:55am Brendan: @dale it was the perfect antidote to to walking on sunshine
	11:55am Listner Alexandra: Completely perfect last song, Joe :-)
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening today, everybody. Got a bit serious and morose for a new year's day. I guess, but there's hope in there, right? Anyway, have a great week and I'll see you next time!
	11:56am pantz: Great show, Joe. See ya next Monday.
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: Get well soon, Joe. Take care everyone.
	11:57am Scraps: Wikipedia says Elton John and Elvis Costello were "fervent admirers" of Ackles.
	11:58am northguineahills: Thanks Joe!
	12:00pm Scraps: Google Translate says "obnoxious". :-)
