Guten Morgan! Wie gehts? Interesting Ginsberg piece to start with. Thought it was Phil Ochs at first, sounded like him.
Thu. 7/9/09 6:10am
From:
Meghan
I love that poem of his...i always think he sounds like Kerouac. I have an Ochs piece for the next show actually....
Thu. 7/9/09 6:12am
From:
Chuck
Well all those folks were of the same generation. No surprise. Which Ochs cut?
Thu. 7/9/09 6:13am
From:
Meghan
It was a song about summer.... I can't recall offhand.... Coffee hasn't fully kicked in yet.... hehe
Thu. 7/9/09 6:15am
From:
Chuck
Know what you mean. Why do they make me do arithmetic this early just to post a comment?!?!
Thu. 7/9/09 6:17am
From:
Meghan
I know what you mean.... this is the first show where i didn't get paranoid prior to waking up. I slept soundly, not waking up every hour on the hour.....
Thu. 7/9/09 6:20am
From:
Chuck
Ah, the antisipation.., I have a tendency to pace through the house before a VKR show... A LOT! Cool! Nobody plays the Squares. Actually, few even know about them.
Thu. 7/9/09 6:35am
From:
jay
hi are you going to play any music by george m cohen ? he wrote a lot of music in the for shows years ago all the best Jay
Thu. 7/9/09 6:36am
From:
Meghan

Thu. 7/9/09 6:36am
From:
Chuck
"See The USA" sounded like Doris Day... ???
Thu. 7/9/09 6:37am
From:
Meghan
I did Chuck! it doesn't give me any other info... another MP3 find... It might have been....
Thu. 7/9/09 6:43am
From:
Chuck
Check out the old film "Yankee Doodle Dandy" staring James Cagney. It's about George M. Cohen. He also wrote "You're A Grand Old Flag" and "Over There".
Thu. 7/9/09 6:44am
From:
Meghan
ahhhhh, I didn't even THINK of that movie either.... I didn't know he was the composer of those... thanks Chuck for the info!
Thu. 7/9/09 6:46am
From:
jay
hi again, have you heard of Yankee doodle dandy, Forty-five minutes from broadway, and Over there, all by george m cohan he wrote lots of plays
Thu. 7/9/09 6:49am
From:
Chuck
Hehe... I actually wrote a report on George M. In the fifth grade!
Thu. 7/9/09 6:54am
From:
jay
hey chuck , i saw that james cagney fim when i was real young it was the only one that he danced in and i think won his only oscar pity it was in black and white
Thu. 7/9/09 6:55am
From:
Chuck
Humm... And I was going to come up with some suggestions for summer. Sounds like you're overloaded with material as it is, so I'll refrain...
Thu. 7/9/09 6:57am
From:
Meghan
No don't refrain! Send away! I am not totally full of songs for 2 shows....
Thu. 7/9/09 6:58am
From:
Chuck
Yes, Jay. And quite a "hoofer" Mr Cagney was! Don't think it's a pity that it was in B&W though. It was just as it should be...
Thu. 7/9/09 6:59am
From:
Chuck
Oaky Doke, Meghan! I'll send a list later today...
Thu. 7/9/09 7:07am
From:
kate

Thu. 7/9/09 7:09am
From:
Meghan

Thu. 7/9/09 7:10am
From:

Thu. 7/9/09 7:17am
From:
Chuck
Iggy! Wonder if PG is listening today. He's Iggy's #1 fan...
Thu. 7/9/09 7:20am
From:
Meghan
oh really? he'll be bummed he missed out if he isn't!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:22am
From:
Chuck
Spoke to him last night during his show. I should've reminded him you were on this morning. Hey! I have this punk comp, it's the coolest!!!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:31am
From:
Jeff
Hey, is Rain on the Scarecrow on that album... The Best that I Could Do 1978 - 1988?
Thu. 7/9/09 7:33am
From:
Jeff
If it doesn't, I guess it doesn't really include the BEST he could do.
Thu. 7/9/09 7:35am
From:
Chuck
Morning, Jeff!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:35am
From:
Meghan
OMG... give up on that song! It was totally not a hit!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:37am
From:
Jeff
Good morning, Chuck. Maybe you can settle this... was Rain on the Scarecrow a hit for Mellencamp?
Thu. 7/9/09 7:40am
From:
Jeff
By the way, the field recording sounds great. I think I heard the kid with the dump truck. I also enjoyed the Washington Squares. I've never heard that tune.... AHHH now I'm singing along!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:40am
From:
Chuck
Well, based on how many times I heard it on the radio, I'd have to say yes. Just my thought...
Thu. 7/9/09 7:42am
From:
Jeff
That was my argument too... so I guess it's settled. Chuck said it was a hit!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:42am
From:
Chuck
"West Side Story"! Probably one of the few musicals I actually liked...
Thu. 7/9/09 7:42am
From:
Meghan
Thanks Chuck....I got to go home to gloating now..... the answer is always- Sorry Jeff, you are wrong.... Always!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:43am
From:
Jeff
The only musical I like.
Thu. 7/9/09 7:44am
From:
Chuck
Hey! Don't get me involved in you marital issues!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:46am
From:
Meghan
Believe it or not, I have never fully seen West Side Story.... my favorite musical is Sound of Music, grew up with it. But i usually hate all musicals....
Thu. 7/9/09 7:47am
From:
RichZ.
How 'bout DINAH SHORE's "See The USA in Your Chevrolet", or JOHNNY CASH's "I've Been Everywhere" or 2 LIVE CREW's "Banned In The USA".....
Thu. 7/9/09 7:48am
From:
Chuck
There are only about 3 musicals that I really liked. "Brigadoon" and "1776" being the other two.
Thu. 7/9/09 7:49am
From:
Meghan
ahhh it was Dinah Shore! i played it earlier... we thought it was Doris Day. I have a Johnny Cash coming up, but not that one.... Saving the Everywhere one for a travel show. I kinda forgot about 2 Live Crew....
Thu. 7/9/09 7:50am
From:
Chuck
Ahh! Rich has come up with the artist for "See the USA"!
Thu. 7/9/09 7:52am
From:
Jeff
Is that Freedom Rock? Well, turn it up!!!! I was waiting for this one... now even B-Man is awake.
Thu. 7/9/09 7:53am
From:
Meghan

Thought that meant "Where's my freakin' breakfast, Dude!". Thanks for clarifying...
Thu. 7/9/09 8:15am
From:
Chuck
Meghan, do you have "The Highwaymen"? Johnny, Waylan, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. If not get it, it's great!

Thu. 7/9/09 8:19am
From:
Meghan
Oh I don't have it... will have to look in the Library for that...
Thu. 7/9/09 8:20am
From:
Meghan
You know Rich, I totally did have it and it was about to go into my cheese set, but i ran out of room! I was totally going back and forth with that one.... If only you told me ahead of time, it would have made it!
Thu. 7/9/09 8:26am
From:
Chuck
Do you know how Nick got the nickname Basher?
Thu. 7/9/09 8:26am
From:
Meghan
Nope, how?
Thu. 7/9/09 8:28am
From:
Chuck
From his "crude" production techniques for putting out a record. Hey, whatever works, right!
Thu. 7/9/09 8:29am
From:
Meghan
doesn't seem like it was a bad thing for him!
Thu. 7/9/09 8:32am
From:
Chuck
L&R, superb!
Thu. 7/9/09 8:53am
From:
Chuck
Wow, I would not have been able to tell this was Dead Can Dance. It's so different from their other stuff...
Thu. 7/9/09 8:55am
From:
Chuck
Tusch, until next time...
