Listener comments!
Morning, Joe and everyone.
Hey, Phillippe, Ken, Krys, DjLorraine, everyone!
Hi, Handy. Joe must have one of those ancient Mayan devices to predict which days to broadcast.
Having a delightful thirty sixth wedding anniversary ridding the chicken coop of red mites. What larks.
When I first came to NY in '93, there were still places in the village where he had worked and where I could get a free meal by mentioning his name.
Enjoying the tunes here in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Morning, YB!
Sometimes I have to take a Night Nurse™ in bed
(fnarr, fnarr)
If you're feeling opulent, I recommend a 'Green Velvet': Night Nurse and champagne...
But it only comes in green flavour.
Hey Handy. I'm fed up with these accounts, so calling it a day.
3moons: I wish. Can only get the green/meths flavour
Hi Hi Hi all!!
was amy wachtel?
also methanol is good go-kart fuel
when mixed w/synthetic oil
& around HERE
We only shoot to live! baby, baby I love you! You do
The hip!
:I bought so many so many books from the library:
And your bird is green
WTF???!
In the 1995 PBS History of Rock - there's IkeTurner saying black folk were not down with ChuckBerry cause he sounded too Kuntry...
www.blackguitars.com...
his dad was nypd
eddie a nice guy the couple of times
i met him
Checking to make sure I got the neighborhood right.
YB, what if the cocktail-ness of the set is not post hoc after all but Joe's plan all along!
Bobbie also tried a Vegas career before she went into hiding
en.wikipedia.org...
(I am inordinately proud of that. Just fun and games!)
And there.
Maybe that was too far. Very excited for the show Wed., though, and for the new album.
This rock music is pretty good, Joe!
Morning, Mx. Baba Bee!
Sigh sorry
And I hope I haven’t given you any ideas
👁
I will never get enough of weird covers
(The sound of ballistic kisses.)
...nevermind my brain...
I think Japan does a pretty good version of Tears of a Clown too
Canada is a mellower place. )
Later on, Surfactants! Stay flat!

Thanks, Joe!
