Dancing in the library! the stacks boogie

Michael, disregard email. Playlist is up and running.

Sat. 10/17/09 11:19am From: paul

I saw a DVD of a recent live N. Lowe show. I know he's older, but he is realllllly mellow these days. Miss the rockers.

Sat. 10/17/09 11:45am From: rick

What album does the Cash song come from? It doesn't sound like one of the songs from the American Recordings albums.

Sat. 10/17/09 11:50am From: Red

Don Grady was Robbie

Sat. 10/17/09 11:52am From: MS

It is from the 80's - also on his box set, also on a one sided 12" from the time

Sat. 10/17/09 11:52am From: Red

I liked Don Grady's "Good Man to Have Around the House"

Sat. 10/17/09 11:55am From: rick

Wow! Michael, you are channeling the Beastmaster Billy Kelly this morning as I've heard both the Muffs song and the Yellow Balloon on his show. Now you need to play The Third Bardo or The Seeds or some other obscure garage band!

Sat. 10/17/09 12:10pm From: david

Wasn't it Bobby Goldsboro who what the hit with "The Straight Life?'" Crackers and beer, indeed.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:14pm From: Mike Sin

"Wichita Lineman" -- The Glen Campbell album that originally featured "The Straight Life" -- also includes his fine version of "The Dock of the Bay"!

Sat. 10/17/09 12:18pm From: MS

Bobby, Glen & Sonny all recorded it about the same time & all three are #1 hits!

Sat. 10/17/09 12:20pm From: rick

I saw Junior Brown at the Continental Club in Austin in 1996; I think he had a usual Sunday show there. He was great. I also saw him Central Park opening for Morphine, which was an odd pairing. He is an innovator with that Guit Steel guitar and should be a country star, but isn't in the era of booty shakin Nashville.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:20pm From: paul

Johnny's version of Without Love is on The Essential Johnny Cash 1955-1983 (Disc 3)

Sat. 10/17/09 12:26pm From: david

I love it. Since I'm in Ohio, I have to listen to #1 Hits online, which makes for some weird weekend scheduling. Best two hours anywherre. Manfred Mann had the #1 hit with Pretty Flamingo.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:27pm From: Hatch

How is it that only you and I have played this Green track on FMU in the recent past??!?! Such a mega ultra #1 hit.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:33pm From: paul

A little different than Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:35pm From: Michael

Hatch, indeed!
Proof that the world is a terrible place.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:37pm From: david r

Some of the best toy piano you'll ever here. God bless NRBQ!

Sat. 10/17/09 12:37pm From: paul

"The world is a terrible place." Marmalade (Reflections)

Sat. 10/17/09 12:38pm From: david r

Make that "hear". I am not that much of an idiot.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:39pm From: BigJay

Down...down..........

Sat. 10/17/09 12:40pm From: rstvmo

show great.

Sat. 10/17/09 12:40pm From: Chuck E. Jesus

:tu:

although the cymbals are too hissy

Sat. 10/17/09 12:41pm From: chuck in ct

great show today .....how about sum ramones

Sat. 10/17/09 12:49pm From: paul

One of the eclectic MS shows ever. And that's saying something.

Mon. 10/19/09 8:34am From: Archive Listener Frank

The Johnny Harris Mr. Tambourine arrangement has to be sarcasm.

Mon. 10/19/09 8:42am From: Michael Shelley

Frank,
Absolutely not.
That's a great recording!
I edited it down to make it short & sweet.
In fact, I NEVER play a song just to be sarcastic - a wast of time.
-Michael

Tue. 10/20/09 10:12am From: Archive Listener Frank

Nope, Johnny Harris was the one being sarcastic. That would have been a great 50's hi-fi album title: Sarcasm in Music.
