	11:16am Mr. Jones: Did somebody say "coffee break"? I'm on it!
	11:16am common: good morn, all
	11:16am gf2002: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer" by "Skeeter Davis" I'd like to see the musician credits on this one, could that be Lloyd Green on pedal steel?
	11:17am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Say A Little Prayer" by "Skeeter Davis" The world needs this
	11:17am rx "rexy" scabin: Almost every song is improved with pedal steel.
	11:18am Listener Baby: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:17 Rexy. Imagine The Boxer without pedal steel. Can you? I can’t.
	11:19am Richard: Ahhh Zooey...
	11:20am listener phat in lincoln: I think I need some baked goods.
	11:21am rx "rexy" scabin: @Listener Baby I shudder to think.
	11:21am Squints: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @11:20 Baked goods? Or, baked, er. baking goods?
	11:21am Listener Baby: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:21 Let’s not even talk about it.
	11:22am cosmic matrix: works perfectly for this song. magic
	11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Need No One" by "Skunks, The" Too much separation for me -- it's like there's a hole in the middle.
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Need No One" by "Skunks, The" Weird. But somehow one gets accustomed to it. About half way through.
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Windows" by "Chris Scruggs" I know an ex- teenager who would cover this like a boss. Do you know one, Baby?
	11:24am Squints: ↳ Song: "Windows" by "Chris Scruggs" A wee bit of a Teddy Thompson feel. Not as lush, maybe.
	11:25am gf2002: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 How about Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down The Line"...and many others. Red Rhodes with Mike Nesmith, Nesmith himself on the Headquarters album,. Buddy Emmons on Gram's tracks, anything Curly Chalker ever played, the list goes on. Pedal steel is awesome. Any fellow steel players out there?
	11:25am herb.nyc: Hi. May hafta log off. Hugh jackman at 2pm radio city today. $17 via TickPick
	11:25am listener phat in lincoln: @Squints bolillos!
	11:26am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:25 i'm a pedal steel "owner"
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Squints @11:24 Maybe all nepo babies sound like that, haha
	11:26am Hoboken Jack: ↳ herb.nyc @11:25 Enjoy Herb!!
	11:27am Squints: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @11:25 Just looked those up. Ay, caramba. Now I'm hungry.
	11:27am listener phat in lincoln: Looking forward to see the fabulous superlatives in just a few weeks.
	11:28am wenzo: LOL
	11:28am clarke: oh, we're doin' MovieTime without Frank? ok then.
	11:28am listener phat in lincoln: I'm gonna see The Brutalist and I'm going to love it.
	11:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Signing off, gotta run to see The Brutalist now!
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Anora was far and away the best film of 2024, so it doesn't have a chance in hell of winning any Oscars.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @11:27 Me, too. Mid-March, courtesy of my bubba down near Myrtle.
	11:28am wenzo: Jim the Poet wanted to leave at the intermission as I recall it…
	11:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Rex, if I'm not back by 3pm start without me!
	11:29am The Chief: SO GLAD that Michael hates the Brutalist... I thought this movie was going to be made for me (I'm a huge fan of mid century design and am thinking of moving to Bucks Co.)... AWFUL movie. Just pure tragedy porn and people act irrationally just to move the plot along.
	11:29am JohnEBGood: Hi Michael. Hi Juniper. Happy 2025 ; )
	11:29am pgalub: I guess Chris Scruggs doesn't do Windows.
	11:29am clarke: GOAL!! *in the interest of full transparency, i am dual-screening.
	11:30am gf2002: Bill Chadwick! Can't Wait! Although the 5th Monkee moniker could be applied to quite a few people, Chip Douglas comes to mind but that discounts the first 2 albums.
	11:30am TimG: Ah Michael. We seem to agree on 90% of music choices but maybe only 25% of movie reviews. Haven’t seen Brutulist but now am inclined to😁
	11:30am The Chief: The Brutalist = Emotionally exploitative movie with no substance to it. Director is high on his own fumes.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:29 hey pete!
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Song: "You're Right, Ray Charles" by "Joe Tex" G. G. Y.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:31 he ain't wrong!
	11:31am Hughie Considine: First The Pianist, now The Brutalist. Adrien Brody's next project, The Chiropodist, will be directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
	11:31am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:30 Hey clarke!
	11:31am egould: ↳ clarke @11:29 What are you watching?
	11:32am Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @11:25 As usual, great examples.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 mawnin'!
	11:32am Richard: SUCH LANGUAGE!
	11:32am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:26 I wish I played them more but other work has kind of kept my 2 cased up for awhile. Almost considering selling one, but I can't. Sho-Bud LDG and an MSA 12-string sitting lonely in their cases for too long.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ egould @11:31 liverpool dominating!
	11:32am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 Hahaha!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:32 Ahoy!
	11:33am drr: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 Anora was great, made me start re-watching all Sean Baker's movies. Saw it at the theater and again on TV, the theater experience was worth it.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:32 i mean to get mine out, this year, ha ha ha.
	11:33am egould: ↳ clarke @11:32 Oh wow. Dominating.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ drr @11:33 there he is: Nanook Of The South!
	11:35am clarke: ↳ egould @11:33 ipswich has ONE shot on goal.
	11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:32 Any melting going on down there?
	11:35am drr: ↳ clarke @11:34 I had no idea how quickly I would get cabin fever in a snow emergency.
	11:35am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ drr @11:33 A proud son of Summit, NJ!
	11:35am Todd-o-phonic Todd: I'm going to try and grab a burger at Tierney's during intermission in The Brutalist.
	11:36am clarke: is there really an intermission?
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:36 Yes
	11:37am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Could Never Love You" by "Darryl-Ann" Good one!
	11:37am Evan near Baltimore:: The Brutalist was both horrible and excessively long. My wife and I were both quite disappointed since the premise seemed promising.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 weird.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Evan near Baltimore: @11:37 Agree. First half was interesting... then...
	11:38am egould: Just read the plot summary of ‘The Brutalist’ on wiki. Pass-aroonie.
	11:38am clarke: one of those films where the title could be the review as well
	11:39am Scott in Denver: ↳ clarke @11:38 Good one.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 I imagine a tense mood during intermission as people tried to grasp the profundity they had just witnessed.
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:33 It scares me to think about re-learning everything I used to know when I played it regularly. It actually makes me sad to see the cases, but we need to get them out of hiding, set them up, and start mashing down those pedals this year haha. Great instrument, probably one of the most complex and difficult of all instruments. But that SOUND!
	11:39am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 Intermission is a polite invitation to escape if one feels compelled to do so. Considerate of them, if you ask me.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: Some folks left early
	11:40am Scott from Boston: Does this sound like early who?
	11:40am Scott in Denver: Maybe Adrian Brody will play fun guy and host SNL again and they can combine The Pianist and The Brutalist in a skit.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:39 scorcese wouldn't give 'em that chance (the irishman)
	11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:40 He can bring back that awesome Jamaican character he did!
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mainline" by "Standells, The" Opening for The Standells is one of my favorite experiences.
	11:42am Scott in Denver: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:41 You don't know until you try. : /
	11:42am clarke: faron young and willie were house-mates at one time
	11:43am Squints: ↳ Song: "Three Days" by "Willie Nelson" Ooh. Dis nice.
	11:43am Scott in Denver: I'm surprised FARON isn't used more as a name. I always liked it.
	11:43am (the other) Scott Williams: My Dad, Charlie Williams, wrote the liner notes to that album!
	11:44am Squints: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:43 Plus, you name someone that, you're kinda makin' a statement. One I heartily endorse.
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 "was"
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:40 A movie I never saw, for that exact reason.
	11:44am rx "rexy" scabin: @gf2002 I would love to have a pedal steel guitar.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 yeah it is not horrible just needs to trim, say, an hour ha ha
	11:45am gf2002: Great Earl Palmer studio story I heard: A younger producer hired Earl for a session and started to tell Earl how to drum the part. Earl finally cracked and said to the guy "Son, I invented this sh*t."
	11:45am Squints: The Godfather of vocal groups. Don't @ him.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 he wasn't lying.
	11:46am Crafty: since you're gone
	11:46am melinda: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" i love car wash
	11:46am drr: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" "I can name that tune in in...one clap."
	11:46am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" Car wash = toasty and cozy. I’m down, can I come with you, Baby?
	11:47am egould: I prefer movies where a rag tag group of ski bums and misfits band together to defeat the preppy ski school instructors in a Winter Games challenge. If they save the ski resort from being demolished and rebuilt as a shopping mall, even better.
	11:47am rx "rexy" scabin: Imagine what pedal steel guitar would do here and in Every song.
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" PS. These pickers are locked loaded. Sheesh!
	11:47am clarke: ↳ egould @11:47 and then james brown shows up?
	11:48am Listener Baby: ↳ Listener Baby @11:47 Especially this one, Rex!
	11:48am Scott in Denver: I just hit the car wash and now I'm trapped in my car with frozen doors. Help!
	11:48am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:47 And Yvonne Craig says, "Oh,. Hey. It's..."
	11:48am egould: ↳ clarke @11:47 Everyone in the hot tub!
	11:48am Hoboken Jack: Hola Greg and PEEEEEEETE
	11:49am clarke: ↳ egould @11:48 oh, i thought you were describing the fine film: Ski Party
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" I think this is a sign, as I was just thinking I needed to go to the car wash.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Brunch is served!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 jala-luyah!!
	11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Greatest Love" by "Hugo Montenegro" Jerry Lewis?
	11:51am myron feld: re: Ron Hicklin: If I ever have to pass away, I would like to do so in Palm Springs.
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Greatest Love" by "Hugo Montenegro" That voice does sound familiar.
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:28 please dont
	11:52am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" Fill up and you don't have to pay? Where is this car wash?
	11:52am George Kopp: Wish I could listen to the show but the app keeps constantly cutting out today. What up with that??
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ pgalub @11:29 LOL
	11:52am Mr. Jones: sounds like Paul Anka
	11:53am WoodsOfMaine: Abe Vigoda?
	11:53am greg g: Glen Campbell
	11:53am hifivicky: Dean Martin?
	11:53am drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 I just looked at my bookshelf and there's my copy of "Back Beat", which I thought I had (accidentally) given away! It's a bio of Earl Palmer as told to Tony Scherman. It's incredible, he tells his biographer so many unverifiable stories, just wild exaggerations that his biographer took down as fact. I found one of his best stories later, in a book of anecdotes for Toastmasters. Still, you will come away from the book with the impression that Earl Palmer was the coolest man who has ever lived. Highly recommended.
	11:53am Listener Baby: I’m calling out Paul Anka
	11:53am Handy Haversack: clarke, drr, we got our plane tix sorted for NOLA next month!
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: OMG
	11:53am clarke: ron dante
	11:53am drr: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:52 The car wash is free with a fill-up, not the other way around. I was disappointed too.
	11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: Whatchootalkinbout, Michael??
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Different Strokes" by "Gene Morford And Alan Thicke" Well, K8 knew all the words.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 cool. bring mittens!
	11:54am myron feld: ↳ drr @11:53 Agreed!
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:44 It's an amazing instrument! Frustrating that they're not widely available, I've dealt with quite a few music stores who won't even touch them for whatever reason. Apart from custom orders the best way to find one for sale is usually private sales online. Of course if you go to Nashville they're more plentiful haha
	11:55am P-90: One of the greatest jingles ever
	11:55am Listener Baby: Partridge Family guy?
	11:55am Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @11:53 I understood that, and I'm down for it. If I could get a free car wash, I would have washed my car at least once since '85.
	11:55am Andres: ↳ Song: "Different Strokes" by "Gene Morford And Alan Thicke" YES!! One of the few songs where I know all the lyrics. Must’ve been an impressionable age.
	11:55am listener phat in Lincoln: I love this show
	11:56am Toothgrinder Tom: So Alan Thicke only co-wrote that theme song?
	11:56am Squints: ↳ George Kopp @11:52 The app app on the phone? I find that my phone app stops after 20-25 minutes and I pause and restart. If listening via my phone I used TuneIn and get no innaruptions. Mine's an Android phone, for reference.
	11:56am Listener Baby: Sure did sound like Paul Anka
	11:56am drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:54 Guy in my band got a "junior" model with just two pedals, to learn on. He said it's still hard to play, but it does sound cool.
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ drr @11:53 Very cool, thank you for the tip! I will add that to my reading list for sure. And I'll have a few grains of salt on hand for the stories.
	11:56am onthetrain: ok gang i have a serious question. my bulldog died and we are thinking of getting a new one . we really like this one puppy but it has the same name as my annoying neighbor. is this a problem?
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be" by "Arlis!" Very Carmeny.
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Half of Peach & Lee, one third of Peaches & Herb, zero part of Kiki & Herb.
	11:57am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Squints @11:56 That used to happen to me with the old “official” app. WoofMoo works fine. Android is weird.
	11:57am P-90: Super Macca-style vocal
	11:57am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Squints @11:56 I was gonna say
	11:57am newton: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 get rid of the neighbor
	11:57am egould: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be" by "Arlis!" Does Eric Carmen get royalties for this?
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Squints @11:56 Very much so!
	11:58am Andres: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 That name is just a placeholder.
	11:58am onthetrain: @newton i have been waiting for an answer like that !!
	11:58am Bob: I rented Boom The Sonics last night. Streaming everywhere. I liked it a lot. There’s a real lack of original photo or film evidence of the original band, sadly. And no Billy or Miriam interview. That aside it’s a real feel good film with no Henry Rollins or gratuitous celeb talking heads. Mark Arm is always welcome.
	11:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 Rechristening a canine pet seems reasonable for a responsible owner.
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: @onthetrain no. It will soon have nickname.
	11:59am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be" by "Arlis!" If I could sing like this I would
	11:59am Squints: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:57 Is there a newr "official" app? I think the one downloaded is from 2021.
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Trouble Is My Middle Name" by "Four Pennies, The" These guys do sound pretty dangerous.
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Trouble Is My Middle Name" by "Four Pennies, The" My middle name is Vincent.
	12:00pm Squints: ↳ egould @12:00 Four Swell Guys.
	12:01pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Trouble Is My Middle Name" by "Four Pennies, The" Who was considered the fifth Penny?
	12:01pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Squints @11:59 You might want to update. I just looked and it says it was updated Jan 8, 2025
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:00 that's trouble right there!
	12:01pm drr: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 that's great! Bring your skis!
	12:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:01 Joey Five Cents!
	12:01pm gf2002: ↳ drr @11:56 Very cool! If you can get a single-neck, E9 tuning steel with 3 pedals and 2 knee levers, you can cop a ton of the classic country pedal steel licks through the years. And 2 pedals will get enough of those licks to cover most gigs.
	12:01pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Trouble Is My Middle Name" by "Four Pennies, The" Oooh, tough guys!
	12:01pm Bob: I think dickie sweeter was the real middle name
	12:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 [Forehead slap]
	12:02pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:01 I got it.
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: "There is no such thing as too much bass." -- the bass player sitting next to me.
	12:02pm clarke: hello bob.
	12:03pm gf2002: The only time there is too much bass is when the upright bassist gets an extended solo at a jazz gig.
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 One is too many www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDuTUgjzBE
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 Of course, she's in a band with two basses and no guitar, so perhaps not the most reliable narrator.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I'm Talking About You" by "Rick Nelson" Bel Airs of Colombia, MO (now Lincoln, NE) do a great version of this.
	12:03pm Rockfish: Would love to hear Nick Lowe sing and produce this song
	12:03pm rx "rexy" scabin: Bass and pedal steel is perfect.
	12:04pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:03 I saw Ginger Baker one time and that’s was how his band was put together.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 i seent dem!
	12:05pm Mr. Jones: I was light on my feet this morning. Turned out be gas.
	12:05pm gf2002: Baritone and 6-string bass were the same thing back in the 60's, it depended on the gauge of strings they used and the tuning. Most of the baritone tunings were A to A or B to B, when they set them up for 6-string bass it was E to E, an octave below standard guitar.
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:04 Bummed I missed them on NYE
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:04 Really? Neat! This is K8 and another bass player, with Creamo Coyl on drums. K8 and Creamo both sing.
	12:05pm Bob: Rockpile covering this was my gateway to the Wicked. Hi Clarke
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 me, too! all of them!
	12:06pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:05 Oh, that’s right. I forgot that he sings…now remembering that song his did for the Hoof & Mouth
	12:06pm George Kopp: ↳ Squints @11:56 Trying Tunein now, so far so good. Thanks Squints!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. A six-string bass is designed to play a much lower range than a baritone guitar, with a significantly longer scale length and thicker strings, while a baritone guitar is essentially a standard guitar tuned a perfect fourth lower, meaning it has a lower range but still retains a similar playing feel to a regular guitar
	12:07pm Listener Baby: That was a 6 string bass earlier
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: I think McGroovey plays baritone guitar.
	12:07pm WoodsOfMaine: I’m a guitar guy but I always wanted to try one of those Guild Ashbory things
	12:07pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:06 That was very informative. Thank you.
	12:07pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just listen for a sec.....
	12:07pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 Saw the BelAirs at the Zoo Bar several times.
	12:07pm rx "rexy" scabin: @Listener Baby probably tracks with the way people classify vocal ranges , sort of.
	12:08pm Johnny Four Strings: The Bass VI and Baritone Guitar are both featured in the Bakersfield Breakers instrumental arsenal...
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: I wonder if James and Joey knew each other. And were potential cross-bad influences.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ Johnny Four Strings @12:08 Indeed they are, Hammy. I should know
	12:09pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:07 They're old friends of mine. The singer lives in Lincoln now, with a woman who was my very first girlfriend. Lol.
	12:09pm hifivicky: woo! haven't heard this bangles deep cut in decades! 💙🎵💙🎵💙
	12:09pm Johnny Four Strings: Indeed, Baby!
	12:09pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "James" by "Bangles" Forgot all about that s-bomb in the last verse.
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:08 well, Joey is really steve wynn i don't know if there was a real james, tho
	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:09 Wait, what?
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:09 I did not know that, Dude!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:10 yeah, the song Joey is about steve wynn. he and johnette used to go out.
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By" by "Mama Cass" Talk about stereo!
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 Wow.
	12:11pm thriftstoreleather: you're a great DJ, Michael Shelley ♥♥♥
	12:12pm P-90: @Listener Baby: Yes! The simplest answer is that “baritone guitar” is tuned like a guitar but lower, while “six string bass” is tuned like a bass with two more strings added to extend its range. Usually a baritone has strings that are heavier than typical guitar gauges, but lighter than typical electric bass strings.
	12:12pm Ira: Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By--as heard in the pre-show music to Oh Mary!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 new information has come to light.
	12:12pm JG: Sorry to brag but my Marantz 2270, when its good and warmed up, which it is right now, does vocals so so good. Gotta crank it up for Mama Cass
	12:12pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:09 My first live in girlfriend from Lincoln is out here in Denver too. One time my wife and I ran into her and her husband at an Elvis Costello concert. Luckily not awkward.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ JG @12:12 that, i believe! marantz did some good work.
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: When I toured out west with my old weirdo band we were supposed to open for Steve Wynn at Al's Bar. He cancelled. We played for 3 people. Lol.
	12:14pm Wanda: Cass is one of my favorite singers ever!!🥰🥰
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By" by "Mama Cass" Just the best example of the rule everybody should follow, but don’t. Just sing. If you can’t do that, don’t sing.
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Snake Dance Boogie" by "Roy Hogsed" Michael, there's this place in France ...
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 exactly!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 brad can't watch, tho.
	12:16pm gf2002: For the best example of a baritone guitar recording on a "hit" record...go no further than "The Lonely Surfer" by Jack Nitzsche. Glorious tone. When I first got my Danelectro baritone, and tuned it up, that was the first lick I played and I smiled for 2 days afterward. For an example of the 6-string bass application, watch the Get Back/Let It Be films and watch Lennon playing a Fender Bass VI on Let It Be and other tracks. It's also on Back In The USSR I believe, again played by Lennon (fact check if necessary)
	12:16pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:14 I remember seeing Peter Holsapple (I think) at Al's
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 yes, but most of that bass got re-cut by macca
	12:17pm Wanda: Wow!!!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Made me look en.wikipedia.org...
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 I've always found "The Lonely Surfer" so haunting and unique sounding, so I appreciate the details.
	12:18pm Mark T: I used to take the bus as a kid to the movies also.
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:16 Hell of a club. I never played CBGB, but I played the west coast version! I think I want to do one more tour...
	12:18pm Cooh John: Was that sax solo acceptable?
	12:19pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:17 One of the most perfect records ever made. Have you seen the video on YouTube about the session for that track? What a great studio story.
	12:19pm JG: ↳ clarke @12:13 Its got a nice warm sound. Doesn't really do justice to things like heavily distorted punk, but vocals sound great
	12:20pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 Pat Metheny did a whole album on baritone: One Quiet Night
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 Not yet! I always come away from Michael's show with a few notes for things to check out -- this one for sure.
	12:21pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:17 There is some footage in the Get Back doc where George is shown playing the Bass VI too, I see it most in the hands of Lennon in the various studio photos from 68-69. I'm not surprised Macca touched it up
	12:21pm egould: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:18 The sound at Al’s was awful, though.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:21 yes, i saw the scene where george is playing the VI
	12:23pm clarke: here we go, dave!
	12:23pm clarke: Joe Gillis??
	12:23pm gf2002: The problem with the Bass VI was/is that is has a tremolo bridge, and the tuning can get wonky because of it. All, and I do mean all (or almost all..) of the LA and Nashville players used a Danelectro in the 50's and 60's, and they would often customize it with a metal bridge versus the stock wooden Danelectro bridge so it stayed in tune better. Mine came stock with metal bridge so the wood wasn't an issue. And apparently in LA they'd take their gear to Red Rhodes to do this kind of work.
	12:23pm Scott in Denver: I wonder what Robin Zander is doing with his Saturday?
	12:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Powerful pop!
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 There's also an Italian riff and an "Oriental" riff and other stuff, like the "suspense riff," aka Mysterioso "The Robber" www.youtube.com...
	12:24pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Last show I saw before the pandemic. Terrific as always. Also, loud AF!
	12:25pm gf2002: Ahh, another classic Danelectro baritone example: Hank Garland twanging away on Elvis' "Little Sister". I think Hank had the E to E octave below guitar strings on that one.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Good god
	12:25pm Scott in Denver: My friend Tina slept with Zander after the show in Lincoln circa 1986.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... they are supposed to be playing JazzFest!
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:25 Oh my
	12:26pm egould: 2 glamour boys, their spazzoid friend, and their father.
	12:26pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 Rabbit hole found
	12:26pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:25 It's okay. She's now married to a lawyer.
	12:26pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Hearing this it occurs to me how much Weezer’s sound vibes with these guys.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:25 Was it Heaven Tonight or He's a Whore?
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:26 Oh my
	12:27pm gf2002: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:20 Thank you for the tip, I will check it out! I haven't heard that album.
	12:27pm paul: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:25 He turned 72 on Thursday.
	12:27pm Hughie Considine: ↳ egould @12:26 Hey, whatever works!
	12:27pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:26 or Woke Up With A Monster?
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: Huge fan of JJ Cale !!
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:27 Touché!
	12:28pm Squints: And they became ex-a-go-go places.
	12:29pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Squints @12:28 Yeah - they became The Funny Bone
	12:29pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "You're Sixteen" by "Johnny Burnette" Lugubrious
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: Sixteen-year-olds used to drink more strawberry wine?
	12:30pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:21 sketchy parking
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You're Sixteen" by "Johnny Burnette" This is much more stripped down than the frothy version with syrupy strings that I'm thinking of.
	12:31pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 I thought the lead riff on "Wichita Lineman" was a baritone. It's not, though?
	12:31pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:30 Broken passenger window and ransacked center console guaranteed.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ drr @12:31 it is
	12:31pm JohnEBGood: I'm sure DJ SusyHotrod would like twisting at the Go Go Place ; )
	12:31pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:31 Yes it is, the solo is another all-time classic baritone part!
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues" by "Jimmy Hughes" This song always makes chill bumps come up on me.
	12:33pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Song: "A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues" by "Jimmy Hughes" #1!!
	12:33pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues" by "Jimmy Hughes" The Beatles' BBC take on this was excellent, a little more rocking.
	12:33pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Cooh John @12:18 no
	12:34pm clarke: mister vander... go ahead and hang up..
	12:34pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Guy Van Duser does a great version of this.
	12:35pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" When this record started up I thought it was Chet Atkins!
	12:35pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Groovy!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:34 definitely one of those melodies every jazzy musician likes to take a shot at
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" This is great
	12:36pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Something about that riff reminds me of the Snake Charmer melody.
	12:36pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Juan Tisol!
	12:36pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Hank Garland did a cool version of this
	12:37pm Scott in Denver: Love Modern Sounds.
	12:37pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 Exactly what they wanted you to think.
	12:37pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 Me too! On the live Van Duser version he talks about learning the doubled rhythm part…not knowing at the time that Chet was using a delay. Oops!
	12:38pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "African Record Player" by "Bucky" Good lord
	12:38pm gf2002: ↳ Listener Baby @12:37 They were successful!
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:38 he's crackin'!
	12:39pm Squints: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:37 Heh. That would have been good to know before.
	12:39pm clarke: two-fer
	12:39pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:38 I agree.
	12:40pm Andres: ESL rock! Love it!
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Worker In The Night" by "Jets, The" And they haven't won a Superbowl since.
	12:40pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Squints @12:39 No kidding!!!
	12:41pm gf2002: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:37 I have heard a number of musicians say similar things, including Carl Perkins, how they'd hear Chet or Les records and learn them as "live" guitar parts and replicate the delay. That's another level of musicianship! I jammed with a singer one time who did that with Gene Vincent songs, like Be Bop A Lula, where he did the slapback delay "live" with his voice. Blew me away.
	12:41pm rx "rexy" scabin: Time to start the soup.
	12:41pm mrmikestandsir: Byrds.
	12:42pm jg: Sounds like dkug sahm
	12:42pm clarke: sumlin!!!
	12:42pm Vinnygabagooch: Thanks Michael. I needed this show today. Just what the doctor ordered. Have a good one.
	12:43pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:41 Hasil Adkins thought Hank Williams was playing all the instruments, I'm told.
	12:44pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Shake For Me" by "Howlin' Wolf" Such a voice!
	12:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies, The" Karaoke go-to!
	12:45pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:43 Oh wow!
	12:45pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Shake For Me" by "Howlin' Wolf" He’s 10 feet from the mic.
	12:46pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies, The" David Lovering FTW
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:45 abridged
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies, The" Slow down there, pally!
	12:46pm tempusfugitive: Is this one of the CDs you bought downstairs?
	12:46pm Bob: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies, The" Still sound great. These records. Even cd player thinks they should quit already though
	12:46pm greg g: Frank Deal is pretty cool but Kim Deal rules! Anyways great choice Michael!!
	12:47pm clarke: is this your homework, larry?
	12:47pm greg g: Frank Black that is. My brain is disentegrating
	12:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Debaser" by "Pixies, The" Might have to break out Doolittle... A good friend of mine (RIP) was an engineer on this. Miss that guy.
	12:48pm Listener Baby: Any relation to Michael Shiely?
	12:48pm egould: Thanks everyone for the baritone guitar talk. I’ve got some listening to do. Also, i need a baritone guitar in my life. Off to Reverb!
	12:49pm wenzo: Not mind blowing sadly… just fucked up.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ egould @12:48 the Squier re-issue versions are really good. and a bargain.
	12:50pm WoodsOfMaine: There’s too much DEI in this show today. I’m gonna report you Mr. Shelley.
	12:50pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:50 Billy?
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, MS! Good stuff!
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:50 maybe.
	12:52pm clarke: gabagooch!
	12:52pm thriftstoreleather: ↳ Song: "You Can't Make Love To Somebody" by "Carl Perkins" R&R is DANGEROUS ♥
	12:52pm Bob: ↳ clarke @12:51 Like Billy, I really ruined my career with that pajama video
	12:53pm Moammar: ↳ Song: "Big Nick" by "James "Gonzo" Booker" Les Cornichons!
	12:53pm Scott from Boston: I’m sure in this song he’s talking about the very deep in meaningful physical and psychological love… It must be that because… Oh well
	12:53pm drr: ↳ Bob @12:52 But you know, "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You" is a really under-played Yuletide ditty. Gonna learn it for next time Santa rolls around.
	12:53pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:48 Name?
	12:54pm egould: Thanks Michael. Real fun.
	12:55pm Bob: ↳ drr @12:53 It’s great. He’s got a lot of solid stuff. His early band stuff is pretty good too
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:53 Dave Snider
	12:55pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:53 I gave it serious thought last month but it was too late in the season by the time it occurred to me.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Town Called Malice" by "Jam, The" Good lord, yes
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ egould @12:48 Look for a Danelectro with a hard-tail bridge for the classic tones. Now other companies known for metal style guitars have baritones made more for the metal scene which don't have the same classic sound as the old ones if you're looking for the vintage tones. And Fenders with that tremolo bridge can cause intonation/tuning issues, but they look and sound great. But any baritone is a good baritone, good luck!
	12:56pm Scott in Denver: Excellent choice for a closer Michael. Thanks for the fun.
	12:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Town Called Malice" by "Jam, The" I mean there are hits, and there are HITS.
	12:56pm Squints: Rope duly moved. Thanks, Michael.
	12:57pm listener phat in Lincoln: Great show Michael.
	12:57pm clarke: rope moved.
	12:57pm egould: ↳ gf2002 @12:56 Thank you. There is a nice looking Danelectro. Now to budget…
	12:58pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you been fassed? good nite.
	12:58pm StuartR: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @12:56 'SNAP, 66' - it was great to hear Weller play this in 2024
	12:59pm Listener Baby: More hipper
	12:59pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone.
	12:59pm drr: ↳ Bob @12:55 Oh yeah. Amazing drummer. Billy Squier was the first "rock concert" I went to. The drummer threw dozens of sticks into the crowd, really high throws, regular as a lawn sprinkler. Saga was the opener.
	1:00pm greg g: Thank you Michael!
	1:00pm Mr. Jones: Thank for another great show, Mike.
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: Thanks, Michael - that was not brutal!
	1:00pm Crafty: thank you❤
	1:00pm clarke: brutal. list.
	1:00pm drr: lotsa new-to-me songs today.

	11:17am rx "rexy" scabin: Almost every song is improved with pedal steel.

	11:22am cosmic matrix: works perfectly for this song. magic
	11:22am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "I Need No One" by "Skunks, The" Too much separation for me -- it's like there's a hole in the middle.
	11:23am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Need No One" by "Skunks, The" Weird. But somehow one gets accustomed to it. About half way through.
	11:24am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Windows" by "Chris Scruggs" I know an ex- teenager who would cover this like a boss. Do you know one, Baby?
	11:24am Squints: ↳ Song: "Windows" by "Chris Scruggs" A wee bit of a Teddy Thompson feel. Not as lush, maybe.
	11:25am gf2002: ↳ Listener Baby @11:18 How about Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down The Line"...and many others. Red Rhodes with Mike Nesmith, Nesmith himself on the Headquarters album,. Buddy Emmons on Gram's tracks, anything Curly Chalker ever played, the list goes on. Pedal steel is awesome. Any fellow steel players out there?

	11:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Signing off, gotta run to see The Brutalist now!
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Anora was far and away the best film of 2024, so it doesn't have a chance in hell of winning any Oscars.
	11:28am Squints: ↳ listener phat in lincoln @11:27 Me, too. Mid-March, courtesy of my bubba down near Myrtle.
	11:28am wenzo: Jim the Poet wanted to leave at the intermission as I recall it…
	11:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Rex, if I'm not back by 3pm start without me!
	11:29am The Chief: SO GLAD that Michael hates the Brutalist... I thought this movie was going to be made for me (I'm a huge fan of mid century design and am thinking of moving to Bucks Co.)... AWFUL movie. Just pure tragedy porn and people act irrationally just to move the plot along.
	11:29am JohnEBGood: Hi Michael. Hi Juniper. Happy 2025 ; )
	11:29am pgalub: I guess Chris Scruggs doesn't do Windows.
	11:29am clarke: GOAL!! *in the interest of full transparency, i am dual-screening.
	11:30am gf2002: Bill Chadwick! Can't Wait! Although the 5th Monkee moniker could be applied to quite a few people, Chip Douglas comes to mind but that discounts the first 2 albums.
	11:30am TimG: Ah Michael. We seem to agree on 90% of music choices but maybe only 25% of movie reviews. Haven’t seen Brutulist but now am inclined to😁
	11:30am The Chief: The Brutalist = Emotionally exploitative movie with no substance to it. Director is high on his own fumes.
	11:30am clarke: ↳ pgalub @11:29 hey pete!
	11:31am Squints: ↳ Song: "You're Right, Ray Charles" by "Joe Tex" G. G. Y.
	11:31am clarke: ↳ Squints @11:31 he ain't wrong!
	11:31am Hughie Considine: First The Pianist, now The Brutalist. Adrien Brody's next project, The Chiropodist, will be directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
	11:31am pgalub: ↳ clarke @11:30 Hey clarke!
	11:31am egould: ↳ clarke @11:29 What are you watching?
	11:32am Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @11:25 As usual, great examples.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 mawnin'!
	11:32am Richard: SUCH LANGUAGE!
	11:32am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:26 I wish I played them more but other work has kind of kept my 2 cased up for awhile. Almost considering selling one, but I can't. Sho-Bud LDG and an MSA 12-string sitting lonely in their cases for too long.
	11:32am clarke: ↳ egould @11:31 liverpool dominating!
	11:32am egould: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:31 Hahaha!
	11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:32 Ahoy!
	11:33am drr: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:28 Anora was great, made me start re-watching all Sean Baker's movies. Saw it at the theater and again on TV, the theater experience was worth it.
	11:33am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:32 i mean to get mine out, this year, ha ha ha.
	11:33am egould: ↳ clarke @11:32 Oh wow. Dominating.

	11:35am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:32 Any melting going on down there?
	11:35am drr: ↳ clarke @11:34 I had no idea how quickly I would get cabin fever in a snow emergency.
	11:35am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ drr @11:33 A proud son of Summit, NJ!
	11:35am Todd-o-phonic Todd: I'm going to try and grab a burger at Tierney's during intermission in The Brutalist.
	11:36am clarke: is there really an intermission?
	11:36am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:36 Yes
	11:37am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "I Could Never Love You" by "Darryl-Ann" Good one!
	11:37am Evan near Baltimore:: The Brutalist was both horrible and excessively long. My wife and I were both quite disappointed since the premise seemed promising.
	11:38am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 weird.
	11:38am Michael Shelley: ↳ Evan near Baltimore: @11:37 Agree. First half was interesting... then...
	11:38am egould: Just read the plot summary of ‘The Brutalist’ on wiki. Pass-aroonie.
	11:38am clarke: one of those films where the title could be the review as well
	11:39am Scott in Denver: ↳ clarke @11:38 Good one.
	11:39am Hughie Considine: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 I imagine a tense mood during intermission as people tried to grasp the profundity they had just witnessed.
	11:39am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:33 It scares me to think about re-learning everything I used to know when I played it regularly. It actually makes me sad to see the cases, but we need to get them out of hiding, set them up, and start mashing down those pedals this year haha. Great instrument, probably one of the most complex and difficult of all instruments. But that SOUND!
	11:39am Listener Baby: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:36 Intermission is a polite invitation to escape if one feels compelled to do so. Considerate of them, if you ask me.
	11:39am Michael Shelley: Some folks left early
	11:40am Scott from Boston: Does this sound like early who?
	11:40am Scott in Denver: Maybe Adrian Brody will play fun guy and host SNL again and they can combine The Pianist and The Brutalist in a skit.
	11:40am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:39 scorcese wouldn't give 'em that chance (the irishman)
	11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:40 He can bring back that awesome Jamaican character he did!
	11:42am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Mainline" by "Standells, The" Opening for The Standells is one of my favorite experiences.
	11:42am Scott in Denver: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @11:41 You don't know until you try. : /
	11:42am clarke: faron young and willie were house-mates at one time
	11:43am Squints: ↳ Song: "Three Days" by "Willie Nelson" Ooh. Dis nice.
	11:43am Scott in Denver: I'm surprised FARON isn't used more as a name. I always liked it.
	11:43am (the other) Scott Williams: My Dad, Charlie Williams, wrote the liner notes to that album!
	11:44am Squints: ↳ Scott in Denver @11:43 Plus, you name someone that, you're kinda makin' a statement. One I heartily endorse.
	11:44am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:42 "was"
	11:44am Listener Baby: ↳ clarke @11:40 A movie I never saw, for that exact reason.
	11:44am rx "rexy" scabin: @gf2002 I would love to have a pedal steel guitar.
	11:45am clarke: ↳ Listener Baby @11:44 yeah it is not horrible just needs to trim, say, an hour ha ha
	11:45am gf2002: Great Earl Palmer studio story I heard: A younger producer hired Earl for a session and started to tell Earl how to drum the part. Earl finally cracked and said to the guy "Son, I invented this sh*t."
	11:45am Squints: The Godfather of vocal groups. Don't @ him.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 he wasn't lying.
	11:46am Crafty: since you're gone
	11:46am melinda: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" i love car wash
	11:46am drr: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" "I can name that tune in in...one clap."
	11:46am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" Car wash = toasty and cozy. I’m down, can I come with you, Baby?
	11:47am egould: I prefer movies where a rag tag group of ski bums and misfits band together to defeat the preppy ski school instructors in a Winter Games challenge. If they save the ski resort from being demolished and rebuilt as a shopping mall, even better.
	11:47am rx "rexy" scabin: Imagine what pedal steel guitar would do here and in Every song.
	11:47am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" PS. These pickers are locked loaded. Sheesh!
	11:47am clarke: ↳ egould @11:47 and then james brown shows up?
	11:48am Listener Baby: ↳ Listener Baby @11:47 Especially this one, Rex!
	11:48am Scott in Denver: I just hit the car wash and now I'm trapped in my car with frozen doors. Help!
	11:48am Squints: ↳ clarke @11:47 And Yvonne Craig says, "Oh,. Hey. It's..."
	11:48am egould: ↳ clarke @11:47 Everyone in the hot tub!
	11:48am Hoboken Jack: Hola Greg and PEEEEEEETE
	11:49am clarke: ↳ egould @11:48 oh, i thought you were describing the fine film: Ski Party
	11:49am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" I think this is a sign, as I was just thinking I needed to go to the car wash.
	11:50am Handy Haversack: Brunch is served!
	11:50am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:50 jala-luyah!!
	11:51am Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "The Greatest Love" by "Hugo Montenegro" Jerry Lewis?
	11:51am myron feld: re: Ron Hicklin: If I ever have to pass away, I would like to do so in Palm Springs.
	11:51am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "The Greatest Love" by "Hugo Montenegro" That voice does sound familiar.
	11:51am Michael Shelley: ↳ Todd-o-phonic Todd @11:28 please dont
	11:52am Mr. Jones: ↳ Song: "Car Wash" by "Rose Royce" Fill up and you don't have to pay? Where is this car wash?
	11:52am George Kopp: Wish I could listen to the show but the app keeps constantly cutting out today. What up with that??
	11:52am Michael Shelley: ↳ pgalub @11:29 LOL
	11:52am Mr. Jones: sounds like Paul Anka
	11:53am WoodsOfMaine: Abe Vigoda?
	11:53am greg g: Glen Campbell
	11:53am hifivicky: Dean Martin?
	11:53am drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:45 I just looked at my bookshelf and there's my copy of "Back Beat", which I thought I had (accidentally) given away! It's a bio of Earl Palmer as told to Tony Scherman. It's incredible, he tells his biographer so many unverifiable stories, just wild exaggerations that his biographer took down as fact. I found one of his best stories later, in a book of anecdotes for Toastmasters. Still, you will come away from the book with the impression that Earl Palmer was the coolest man who has ever lived. Highly recommended.
	11:53am Listener Baby: I’m calling out Paul Anka
	11:53am Handy Haversack: clarke, drr, we got our plane tix sorted for NOLA next month!
	11:53am listener phat in Lincoln: OMG
	11:53am clarke: ron dante
	11:53am drr: ↳ Mr. Jones @11:52 The car wash is free with a fill-up, not the other way around. I was disappointed too.
	11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: Whatchootalkinbout, Michael??
	11:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Different Strokes" by "Gene Morford And Alan Thicke" Well, K8 knew all the words.
	11:54am clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:53 cool. bring mittens!
	11:54am myron feld: ↳ drr @11:53 Agreed!
	11:54am gf2002: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:44 It's an amazing instrument! Frustrating that they're not widely available, I've dealt with quite a few music stores who won't even touch them for whatever reason. Apart from custom orders the best way to find one for sale is usually private sales online. Of course if you go to Nashville they're more plentiful haha
	11:55am P-90: One of the greatest jingles ever
	11:55am Listener Baby: Partridge Family guy?
	11:55am Mr. Jones: ↳ drr @11:53 I understood that, and I'm down for it. If I could get a free car wash, I would have washed my car at least once since '85.
	11:55am Andres: ↳ Song: "Different Strokes" by "Gene Morford And Alan Thicke" YES!! One of the few songs where I know all the lyrics. Must’ve been an impressionable age.

	11:56am Toothgrinder Tom: So Alan Thicke only co-wrote that theme song?
	11:56am Squints: ↳ George Kopp @11:52 The app app on the phone? I find that my phone app stops after 20-25 minutes and I pause and restart. If listening via my phone I used TuneIn and get no innaruptions. Mine's an Android phone, for reference.
	11:56am Listener Baby: Sure did sound like Paul Anka
	11:56am drr: ↳ gf2002 @11:54 Guy in my band got a "junior" model with just two pedals, to learn on. He said it's still hard to play, but it does sound cool.
	11:56am gf2002: ↳ drr @11:53 Very cool, thank you for the tip! I will add that to my reading list for sure. And I'll have a few grains of salt on hand for the stories.
	11:56am onthetrain: ok gang i have a serious question. my bulldog died and we are thinking of getting a new one . we really like this one puppy but it has the same name as my annoying neighbor. is this a problem?
	11:56am Squints: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be" by "Arlis!" Very Carmeny.
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: Half of Peach & Lee, one third of Peaches & Herb, zero part of Kiki & Herb.
	11:57am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Squints @11:56 That used to happen to me with the old “official” app. WoofMoo works fine. Android is weird.

	11:57am newton: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 get rid of the neighbor
	11:57am egould: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be" by "Arlis!" Does Eric Carmen get royalties for this?
	11:57am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Squints @11:56 Very much so!
	11:58am Andres: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 That name is just a placeholder.
	11:58am onthetrain: @newton i have been waiting for an answer like that !!
	11:58am Bob: I rented Boom The Sonics last night. Streaming everywhere. I liked it a lot. There’s a real lack of original photo or film evidence of the original band, sadly. And no Billy or Miriam interview. That aside it’s a real feel good film with no Henry Rollins or gratuitous celeb talking heads. Mark Arm is always welcome.
	11:58am Hughie Considine: ↳ onthetrain @11:56 Rechristening a canine pet seems reasonable for a responsible owner.
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: @onthetrain no. It will soon have nickname.

	12:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:01 Joey Five Cents!
	12:01pm gf2002: ↳ drr @11:56 Very cool! If you can get a single-neck, E9 tuning steel with 3 pedals and 2 knee levers, you can cop a ton of the classic country pedal steel licks through the years. And 2 pedals will get enough of those licks to cover most gigs.
	12:01pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Trouble Is My Middle Name" by "Four Pennies, The" Oooh, tough guys!
	12:01pm Bob: I think dickie sweeter was the real middle name

	12:02pm Handy Haversack: "There is no such thing as too much bass." -- the bass player sitting next to me.
	12:02pm clarke: hello bob.
	12:03pm gf2002: The only time there is too much bass is when the upright bassist gets an extended solo at a jazz gig.
	12:03pm Mr. Jones: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 One is too many www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDuTUgjzBE
	12:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:02 Of course, she's in a band with two basses and no guitar, so perhaps not the most reliable narrator.
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I'm Talking About You" by "Rick Nelson" Bel Airs of Colombia, MO (now Lincoln, NE) do a great version of this.
	12:03pm Rockfish: Would love to hear Nick Lowe sing and produce this song
	12:03pm rx "rexy" scabin: Bass and pedal steel is perfect.
	12:04pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:03 I saw Ginger Baker one time and that’s was how his band was put together.
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 i seent dem!
	12:05pm Mr. Jones: I was light on my feet this morning. Turned out be gas.
	12:05pm gf2002: Baritone and 6-string bass were the same thing back in the 60's, it depended on the gauge of strings they used and the tuning. Most of the baritone tunings were A to A or B to B, when they set them up for 6-string bass it was E to E, an octave below standard guitar.
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:04 Bummed I missed them on NYE
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:04 Really? Neat! This is K8 and another bass player, with Creamo Coyl on drums. K8 and Creamo both sing.
	12:05pm Bob: Rockpile covering this was my gateway to the Wicked. Hi Clarke
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:05 me, too! all of them!
	12:06pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:05 Oh, that’s right. I forgot that he sings…now remembering that song his did for the Hoof & Mouth
	12:06pm George Kopp: ↳ Squints @11:56 Trying Tunein now, so far so good. Thanks Squints!
	12:06pm Listener Baby: Baby. A six-string bass is designed to play a much lower range than a baritone guitar, with a significantly longer scale length and thicker strings, while a baritone guitar is essentially a standard guitar tuned a perfect fourth lower, meaning it has a lower range but still retains a similar playing feel to a regular guitar
	12:07pm Listener Baby: That was a 6 string bass earlier
	12:07pm Handy Haversack: I think McGroovey plays baritone guitar.
	12:07pm WoodsOfMaine: I’m a guitar guy but I always wanted to try one of those Guild Ashbory things
	12:07pm egould: ↳ Listener Baby @12:06 That was very informative. Thank you.
	12:07pm clarke: mister vanderbocki, if you would just listen for a sec.....
	12:07pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:03 Saw the BelAirs at the Zoo Bar several times.
	12:07pm rx "rexy" scabin: @Listener Baby probably tracks with the way people classify vocal ranges , sort of.
	12:08pm Johnny Four Strings: The Bass VI and Baritone Guitar are both featured in the Bakersfield Breakers instrumental arsenal...
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: I wonder if James and Joey knew each other. And were potential cross-bad influences.
	12:09pm Listener Baby: ↳ Johnny Four Strings @12:08 Indeed they are, Hammy. I should know
	12:09pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Scott in Denver @12:07 They're old friends of mine. The singer lives in Lincoln now, with a woman who was my very first girlfriend. Lol.

	12:10pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:09 Wait, what?
	12:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:09 I did not know that, Dude!
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:10 yeah, the song Joey is about steve wynn. he and johnette used to go out.
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By" by "Mama Cass" Talk about stereo!
	12:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @12:11 Wow.
	12:11pm thriftstoreleather: you're a great DJ, Michael Shelley ♥♥♥
	12:12pm P-90: @Listener Baby: Yes! The simplest answer is that “baritone guitar” is tuned like a guitar but lower, while “six string bass” is tuned like a bass with two more strings added to extend its range. Usually a baritone has strings that are heavier than typical guitar gauges, but lighter than typical electric bass strings.
	12:12pm Ira: Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By--as heard in the pre-show music to Oh Mary!
	12:12pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:11 new information has come to light.
	12:12pm JG: Sorry to brag but my Marantz 2270, when its good and warmed up, which it is right now, does vocals so so good. Gotta crank it up for Mama Cass
	12:12pm Scott in Denver: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:09 My first live in girlfriend from Lincoln is out here in Denver too. One time my wife and I ran into her and her husband at an Elvis Costello concert. Luckily not awkward.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ JG @12:12 that, i believe! marantz did some good work.
	12:14pm listener phat in Lincoln: When I toured out west with my old weirdo band we were supposed to open for Steve Wynn at Al's Bar. He cancelled. We played for 3 people. Lol.
	12:14pm Wanda: Cass is one of my favorite singers ever!!🥰🥰
	12:14pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By" by "Mama Cass" Just the best example of the rule everybody should follow, but don’t. Just sing. If you can’t do that, don’t sing.
	12:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Snake Dance Boogie" by "Roy Hogsed" Michael, there's this place in France ...
	12:15pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 exactly!
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 brad can't watch, tho.
	12:16pm gf2002: For the best example of a baritone guitar recording on a "hit" record...go no further than "The Lonely Surfer" by Jack Nitzsche. Glorious tone. When I first got my Danelectro baritone, and tuned it up, that was the first lick I played and I smiled for 2 days afterward. For an example of the 6-string bass application, watch the Get Back/Let It Be films and watch Lennon playing a Fender Bass VI on Let It Be and other tracks. It's also on Back In The USSR I believe, again played by Lennon (fact check if necessary)
	12:16pm Michael Shelley: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:14 I remember seeing Peter Holsapple (I think) at Al's
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 yes, but most of that bass got re-cut by macca
	12:17pm Wanda: Wow!!!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: Made me look en.wikipedia.org...
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 I've always found "The Lonely Surfer" so haunting and unique sounding, so I appreciate the details.
	12:18pm Mark T: I used to take the bus as a kid to the movies also.
	12:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:16 Hell of a club. I never played CBGB, but I played the west coast version! I think I want to do one more tour...
	12:18pm Cooh John: Was that sax solo acceptable?
	12:19pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:17 One of the most perfect records ever made. Have you seen the video on YouTube about the session for that track? What a great studio story.
	12:19pm JG: ↳ clarke @12:13 Its got a nice warm sound. Doesn't really do justice to things like heavily distorted punk, but vocals sound great
	12:20pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 Pat Metheny did a whole album on baritone: One Quiet Night
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:19 Not yet! I always come away from Michael's show with a few notes for things to check out -- this one for sure.
	12:21pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:17 There is some footage in the Get Back doc where George is shown playing the Bass VI too, I see it most in the hands of Lennon in the various studio photos from 68-69. I'm not surprised Macca touched it up
	12:21pm egould: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:18 The sound at Al’s was awful, though.
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:21 yes, i saw the scene where george is playing the VI
	12:23pm clarke: here we go, dave!
	12:23pm clarke: Joe Gillis??
	12:23pm gf2002: The problem with the Bass VI was/is that is has a tremolo bridge, and the tuning can get wonky because of it. All, and I do mean all (or almost all..) of the LA and Nashville players used a Danelectro in the 50's and 60's, and they would often customize it with a metal bridge versus the stock wooden Danelectro bridge so it stayed in tune better. Mine came stock with metal bridge so the wood wasn't an issue. And apparently in LA they'd take their gear to Red Rhodes to do this kind of work.
	12:23pm Scott in Denver: I wonder what Robin Zander is doing with his Saturday?
	12:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Powerful pop!
	12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @12:17 There's also an Italian riff and an "Oriental" riff and other stuff, like the "suspense riff," aka Mysterioso "The Robber" www.youtube.com...
	12:24pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Last show I saw before the pandemic. Terrific as always. Also, loud AF!
	12:25pm gf2002: Ahh, another classic Danelectro baritone example: Hank Garland twanging away on Elvis' "Little Sister". I think Hank had the E to E octave below guitar strings on that one.
	12:25pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Come On, Come On (live at The Whiskey)" by "Cheap... Good god
	12:25pm Scott in Denver: My friend Tina slept with Zander after the show in Lincoln circa 1986.

	12:30pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:21 sketchy parking
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "You're Sixteen" by "Johnny Burnette" This is much more stripped down than the frothy version with syrupy strings that I'm thinking of.
	12:31pm drr: ↳ gf2002 @12:16 I thought the lead riff on "Wichita Lineman" was a baritone. It's not, though?
	12:31pm egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:30 Broken passenger window and ransacked center console guaranteed.

	12:31pm gf2002: ↳ drr @12:31 Yes it is, the solo is another all-time classic baritone part!
	12:32pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "A Shot Of Rhythm And Blues" by "Jimmy Hughes" This song always makes chill bumps come up on me.

	12:34pm clarke: mister vander... go ahead and hang up..
	12:34pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Guy Van Duser does a great version of this.
	12:35pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" When this record started up I thought it was Chet Atkins!
	12:35pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Groovy!
	12:35pm Michael Shelley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:34 definitely one of those melodies every jazzy musician likes to take a shot at
	12:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" This is great
	12:36pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Something about that riff reminds me of the Snake Charmer melody.
	12:36pm Listener Baby: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Juan Tisol!
	12:36pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Modern Sounds, The" Hank Garland did a cool version of this
	12:37pm Scott in Denver: Love Modern Sounds.
	12:37pm Listener Baby: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 Exactly what they wanted you to think.
	12:37pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ gf2002 @12:35 Me too! On the live Van Duser version he talks about learning the doubled rhythm part…not knowing at the time that Chet was using a delay. Oops!

	12:40pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Squints @12:39 No kidding!!!
	12:41pm gf2002: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @12:37 I have heard a number of musicians say similar things, including Carl Perkins, how they'd hear Chet or Les records and learn them as "live" guitar parts and replicate the delay. That's another level of musicianship! I jammed with a singer one time who did that with Gene Vincent songs, like Be Bop A Lula, where he did the slapback delay "live" with his voice. Blew me away.

	12:53pm drr: ↳ Bob @12:52 But you know, "Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You" is a really under-played Yuletide ditty. Gonna learn it for next time Santa rolls around.

	12:55pm Squints: ↳ drr @12:53 I gave it serious thought last month but it was too late in the season by the time it occurred to me.
	12:55pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Town Called Malice" by "Jam, The" Good lord, yes
	12:56pm gf2002: ↳ egould @12:48 Look for a Danelectro with a hard-tail bridge for the classic tones. Now other companies known for metal style guitars have baritones made more for the metal scene which don't have the same classic sound as the old ones if you're looking for the vintage tones. And Fenders with that tremolo bridge can cause intonation/tuning issues, but they look and sound great. But any baritone is a good baritone, good luck!
	12:56pm Scott in Denver: Excellent choice for a closer Michael. Thanks for the fun.
	12:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Town Called Malice" by "Jam, The" I mean there are hits, and there are HITS.
