	3:17pm Dudski: Great Isley Brothers track. Seeing the "Live It Up" sleeve reminds me that Marshall Crenshaw did a fine version of "Live It Up".
	3:17pm Joe B: yeah!
	3:18pm Joe B: never liked the show but had the 45!
	3:19pm Reechie: Aw man, I wore out the "Theme From S.W.A.T." 45 when I was a kid!
	3:19pm Gerry from Miami: Talk about longevity! The Isley Brothers have released records under their name in every decade since the 50s, including this decade. Passing the baton, of course, to younger members of the clan.
	3:19pm Morgan: wow the SWAT theme just set a bunch of long dormant neurons firing
	3:19pm Joe B: damn never knew there was a picture sleeve. had the ABC company sleeve
	♥ 3:20pm Dennis Diken: @Dudski - news we can use! @Reechie - good thing you're listening to a clean copy today! @Joe B - I never saw the show, meself
	3:21pm Joe B: Rose Marie did have a recurring role. if she was a regular I might have gotten into it!
	♥ 3:23pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - long live The Isley Brothers! @Morgan - hey! dig! @Joe B - wondering if that's a non-US pic sleeve on "SWAT"?
	3:23pm Morgan: i want lyrics to all of those like the Quincy theme
	♥ 3:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi all! Warm greetings from Huntington NY
	♥ 3:33pm PaulRobeson1920: 25 and Sunny here I wonder if Merilee Rush singing -Handy- inspired Robert Hunter to sing - Standing At Your Door
	3:33pm Gino: Happy belated New Year!! Your sounding great as usual!!! Your show makes my week! Thanks for all the memories.
	♥ 3:33pm Dennis Diken: hey PaulRobeson1920! glad you're here! @Gino - very kind of you, sir!
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: Late to the party but here I am… for what it's worth!
	3:35pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, thanks for playing the Les Elgart version of the original "American Bandstand" theme! I don't know how many hundreds(maybe even 1000+) of times I heard that song after I raced home every day after school to watch Dick Clark and his cool teen cast of dancers do their thing and cheer on his lip-syncing guest stars. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia from 1964 to 1969 and, along with my sophomore year roommate, made the pilgrimage a few times to the building where "Bandstand" was staged. It wasn't all that far from our dormitory at 37th and Spruce.The show had already moved to LA, but we got a kick out of seeing this "hallowed space." MY HUMBLE OPINION----"I thought it had a nice beat and I could easily dance to it. Dick, I'd give it a 98!"
	♥ 3:36pm MOM WHIG: Gotta run for now Denny - Thanks a million for the tunes today!!
	3:37pm Gerry from Miami: Later, MOM!
	♥ 3:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Peace out, MOM WHIG!
	3:39pm Morgan: bye mom
	3:41pm Morgan: i didnt know american bandstand was shot in philly
	3:41pm Gerry from Miami: So easy to misread that German title on the Cluster's album cover!! LOL!!
	3:44pm Gerry from Miami: Just One more "Bandstand" afterthought---didn't Barry Manilow write a set of lyrics to that venerable tune?
	3:45pm Andy R: Great stuff as always Dennis! Cheers from Bergen way.
	3:45pm Joe W.: Thanks Denny for another great show. See ya next week.
	3:46pm Gerry from Miami: Flo and Eddie!! Such an underrated band the Turtles were!!
	3:47pm Patti K: Thanks Den for a solid afternoon. Will be back in a couple weeks, gonna enjoy some vacation time in a warmer spot. Stay well!
	3:49pm Jon Graboff: That's some saucy Doris Day cover photo!
	3:50pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, do you know longtime record producer, Terry Melcher? That's his mom, Doris Day, singing there! Beautiful!
	3:51pm Morgan: thank you Dennis
	♥ 3:51pm Dennis Diken: hey Jon G! @Gerry from Miami - very cool re AB and yes, Barry M did write lyrics to that tune - or at least he sung them?! see you MOM WHIG, thanks! @Morgan - AB started in Philly then moved to LA in the 60s at some point.
