Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:37am Gary:

I am early. (Or very, very late for last week's show.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42am Artie Haywire:

Unstructured, unstressed (untrue).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44am Charlie:

Hey, earlybirds. You can never be too late for last week's show, Gary, what with archives...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50am listener james from westwood:

Early howdy, Charlie and all!

Gary, I think Ken starts typing away on his playlist at like 6ish each day, so you'd not be alone in being early.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51am listener james from westwood:

I've got either barking dogs on the stream, or that message that the Son of Sam was receiving is coming through.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:54am Charlie:

Hi there James.
@Gary knows at least one song I'm gonna play today.
Avatar 11:57am Michael:

Hiya Charlie. Hiya fellow travelers.

That's the life, eh, Gary?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz:

Hap Palmer...he was the bane of my existence when my kids were very young! (almost as bad as Barney).
  12:15pm gary mitchell:

wearing my fools' cap
Avatar ♥ 12:16pm βrian:

This should've been the entree track, Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:18pm Charlie:

ßrian -- fools are always rushing in here, lol -- especially your host ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:20pm Charlie:

Actually, Fools Rush In would be a good name for this radio show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:21pm doctorjazz:

Love this Steely Dan. Feeling a bit foolish myself.
  12:22pm gary mitchell:

you're killing me with this groovy stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Uncle Michael:

Wow, a cover of my favorite SD song that I never knew existed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Charlie:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Uncle Michael:

This is also my favorite answer song.
Avatar 12:25pm bobdoesthings:

Avatar 12:26pm mauri:

cut every song somewhere from 2s to middle with a mic break

Welcome to our confederacy of dunces.
  12:29pm Listening Out There:

To Do was the dog in the Wizard of Oz, right?
Avatar ♥ 12:30pm βrian:

No, it's Japanese for "The Way of When"
Avatar 12:32pm bobdoesthings:

I don't know what "bob the bob" means.. but it makes me uncomfortable.
Avatar ♥ 12:34pm Carmichael:

Yeah. I'm a huge Dan Hicks fan.
Avatar 12:39pm bobdoesthings:

Hi Uncle Michael! and Listening Out There too :)
Hi nd-Bob-ar-ee-no!
  12:40pm judy from croton:

Just tuned in to hear the music of childhood! Not this group, but same stuff. My dad was a violinist.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm doctorjazz:

Pretty cover, heard this one before, the McCaslin.
cool set!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:42pm listener james from westwood:

Agreed on both counts, doctorjazz!
Avatar ♥ 12:43pm βrian:

I do believe Mary M recorded in a barn that I was later to live in.
Avatar 12:45pm ndbob:

wow Brian
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm doctorjazz:

Man, I have this on the Rascals Greatest Hits, don't think I've ever listened to it (skip to the hits), love it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:48pm Charlie:

Hi Judy from Crouton -- did your dad play in a Moldavian orchestra?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:48pm Charlie:

cool, ßrian
  12:50pm Jack D:

Rad show!
Avatar ♥ 12:52pm βrian:

The barn is still there, but there's no longer any trace of the recording setup. Studio B is no more.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:54pm Mike East:

definitely more than one note in there...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:55pm doctorjazz:

Ken used to play this great mix of one note guitar solos.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm Charlie:

yah, that's fun
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm Charlie:

Asha's still around spreading joy . .
Avatar ♥ 12:58pm Carmichael:

Foreign boogie bop?!?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm Charlie:

Did not know Asha was still around, Gary! She and her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, have sung on thousands of film soundtracks.

He's scolding me from the ether. He was Hungarian. Greatest snob ever, and I mistook Moldovian; oh, the horror.
  1:05pm judy from croton:

My favorite song. Waters of March.
Man, what a show!

My son's name is Charlie. You are not my son, and I did not name him after you, but it's an interesting fact. And a damn good name.

Avatar 1:32pm ndbob:

ah original version
Avatar ♥ 1:32pm Carmichael:

I love this Vogues song!
Avatar ♥ 1:33pm Carmichael:

Yep, Bob. Petula wrote it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm Brian in UK:

I think Roger Daltrey was right about not passing thirty years of ago. Pop stars should be compulsory retired at that age.

Carmichael Five O'Clock World was my favourite.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:35pm Charlie:

I love Petula's version.
Avatar ♥ 1:42pm Carmichael:

Hey, it's the Waters of March guy!
