	🛒 ♥ 12:05pm Brian in UK: Just started work in a bookshop & bought a pair of suede trousers with first pay packet.
	♥ 12:05pm alanr: oops.... that was more than 50 years.....(got confused with recent remembrances of that weekend).... gotta figure out 1972 now.
	12:05pm bigplanetnoise: 50 years ago I was crying like a little girl because my mom and dad would not bring me to that muddy hill that was an hour from our house.
	♥ 12:05pm coelacanth∅: Good morning Uncle M and Dinkles
	12:05pm dan: The title of this show comes from The Simpsons.
	♥ 12:06pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	12:08pm Gerry from Miami: 50 years ago? Sorting 60 letters a minute at an LSM in the Long Beach, California, Postal Distribution Center. All while listening to LA radio giant, KMET, on my headphones, playing this Lou Reed classic, covered here by the great Mott the Hoople.
	🛒 ♥ 12:09pm Jeff Golick: Hello. Watched the Woodstock 99 doc recently. What a (literal) shitshow. Not a great doc, really, but the villains are clear enough.
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	12:09pm sufferwords: wow 72 for me too- 13 doing some 13
	🛒 ♥ 12:09pm Brian in UK: Fifty years later today went to go to the shops on my motorcycle. The left rear indicator bracket cracked & the petrol tap started leaking.
	♥ 12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	♥ 12:10pm coelacanth∅: mid-august, 1972. would've been in southold, ny on long island, once again, as if a ritual, tasting the green grapes that always ripened sometime after we'd left.
	🛒 ♥ 12:10pm adamdoesit: Hi Unk, knowns, and unknowns! 50 years ago, I'd been conceived, but not developed, a trend that continues to this day.
	🛒 ♥ 12:11pm Brian in UK: Time for a cold consoling Pilsner Urquell.
	♥ 12:11pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	♥ 12:12pm Zipperhead7: My daughter Zippelita raised an interesting question: "Daddy, will there be rest homes for hippies, where everyone sits around smoking weed and microdosing?"
	♥ 12:12pm alanr: @Jeff Golick I was working at the time for the Indie Film Channel who had a presence at W-99. I was there to video document the fest and IFC's movie tent.... and luckily had the support of IFC for water, food and housing... but what a fucking mess! (and some nice music...Rage ATM stood out in my memory)
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. Donny Hathaway left us far too soon.
	12:13pm dan: Best albums to come out in 1972 Exile On Main Street Something/Anything Thick As A Brick Bare Trees You Don't Mess Around With Jim Saint Dominic's Preview Seventh Sojourn Can't Buy A Thrill
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: Helllloooooooo Hinks and Dinks! (Sitting in a waiting room, waiting for my wife to return from her endoscopy).
	12:13pm rw: Zipperhed7, you and Zippelita need to get on that.
	♥ 12:14pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Doc!
	12:15pm rw: Doc, if she comes out and tries to show you pictures I recommend politely declining.
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sweet Jane!
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm Jeff Golick: @alanr, wow, glad you got through it ok. The way the corporate ghoul behind it tried to blame the music/bands for some of the chaos is...something.
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	12:16pm dan: Aubrey must've become a popular girl's name after this song.
	12:17pm rw: Mornin' Uncle M!
	12:17pm Gerry from Miami: So incredible, Roberta and Donny. A musical marriage made in heaven. My favorite Donny is his version of Leon Russell's "Song For You." Brings me to tears every time.
	♥ 12:17pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Zipperhed, I thought of that when my MIL was in an assisted living place that was decorated with posters of the Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby and photos of things like the soldier kissing a nurse on VE day. kind of horrifying
	🛒 ♥ 12:17pm Alvy Singer: @dan--Think about ow many records you own from 1972. I'm sure it is quite staggering.
	♥ 12:17pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	12:17pm mauri: Hey uncle michael!
	🛒 ♥ 12:17pm doctorjazz: My daughter came out of anesthesia after dental work, proceeded to sing show tunes at the top of her lungs in recovery and the car ride home (until she came down). I'm guessing my wife won't be quite that entertaining, but who knows...?
	♥ 12:19pm Zipperhead7: Back in the late '50s, David Gates and Leon Russell were the go-to guys when touring folks like Chuck Berry played in Tulsa
	12:19pm dan: @Alvy And I forgot to include Honky Chateau to the mix.
	🛒 ♥ 12:19pm Jeff Golick: After a colonoscopy, emerging from the post-proferol haze, I asked to see my chart. The doc asked my wife, after handing me the clipboard, "He's a doctor?" "Uh, no."
	12:19pm KWilde: Good afternoon! (have been listening - forgot to say hello)
	♥ 12:19pm Uncle Michael: mauri!
	12:20pm dan: This is probably Elton John's best song of the early era, on a personal level for me because it's about New York City.
	12:20pm johnk77: already college drop-out in 1972 left-handed listener here the mott lou reed cover a banger at that time rock radio recurrent golden nugget cuz i dug it
	♥ 12:20pm Uncle Michael: john!
	♥ 12:20pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. That's quite a list for that year. I am sure you could come up with at least that number and more if you sat down and worked on it. A fertile period for pop and rock music, indeed.
	♥ 12:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: August 1972 - I was heartbroken because I'd seen the Rolling Stones with a guy who turned out not to want to be my boyfriend, and was starting a very bad romance with a much older and very needy man. Luckily, about to go away for college where I found someone more appropriate.
	12:23pm dan: Davey Johnstone's mandolin is the icing on the cake
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Stevie Wonder released two albums in'72, Music of My Mind and Talking Book.
	🛒 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: Love this Randy Newman!
	12:25pm johnk77: that hard to remember period mostly before college radio
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm Pedro in Arlington: Has Randy Newman ever received a Presidential Medal or Honor or a Kennedy Center Honor? I know I could Google but I suspect the answer is no so asking more for the outrage.
	🛒 ♥ 12:26pm doctorjazz: Bet Randy Newman would be fun after anesthesia...
	12:26pm dan: @Pedro He has gotten neither.
	♥ 12:27pm Webhamster Henry: 1972 wins today!
	🛒 ♥ 12:27pm Pedro in Arlington: @dan: As I suspected. A true blemish on this country.
	12:27pm johnk77: randy often very funny at his rare live gigs
	12:29pm dan: @Pedro A real blemish is this year's Kennedy Center Honors is that Liza Minnelli and Tommy Tune still haven't gotten them, yet George Clooney and U2 are recipients this time around. Are you fucking kidding me?
	♥ 12:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm reading Wikipedia's 1972 in Music entry and wow. So many great albums.
	♥ 12:32pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Henry!
	12:32pm Gerry from Miami: @Pedro. At least Randy is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. He has won a Best Song Oscar and several Grammys.
	🛒 ♥ 12:33pm Alex In Illinois: This is the first time I have heard anyone other than Chuck Berry do this song. 50 Years ago, I was 8.
	♥ 12:33pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: Duke!!!!
	12:35pm dan: @Pedro I'm not even a big Randy Newman fan, but he would deserve the KCH more than George Clooney and U2. At least one of the other honorees this year is Gladys Knight. She deserves every honor under the sun.
	🛒 ♥ 12:38pm Pedro in Arlington: Glad Mr. Newman's film success keeps his accountant quite happy. But the KenCen honor of U2 speaks of network TV desperation of the highest order. And nothing against those kids from Belfast. Somebody has to be U2 and they're good at it.
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: More 1972 "fave" albums---Ziggy Stardust, Close to the Edge, Super Fly, Machine Head, Harvest, #1 Record(Big Star, in case you forgot!), Eat a Peach, Sailin' Shoes(underrated Little Feat), For the Roses, Pink Moon(the late, great Nick Drake). Just a smattering.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: The one and only Velvet Fog, Mr. Mel Torme!
	12:41pm dan: @Pedro They tried to increase viewership a few years ago by giving LL Cool J a KCH, but that year wound up being the lowest viewed ceremony at that point. The fact of the matter is, young people are not into the KCH and no matter how many contemporary names you throw at them, they won't tune in.
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: I'm 62 and I wouldn't tune in if they gave one to me.
	12:43pm dan: @UM Haven't tuned in to the KCH in years. It used to be a happening for me, but they've gone down in quality in recent years.
	12:44pm dan: @Gerry Forgot all those albums. Man 1972 was amazing for music.
	12:46pm Gerry from Miami: At least the KCH has seen fit to honor artists from all genres---pop, classical, jazz, opera, theater, dance, Broadway musicals, film and television acting and directing.
	12:48pm dan: @Gerry They picked the best of the best in the first 30 years.
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: The Who was another sad KenCen Honor choice. Moon and the Ox stayed away regardless.
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm doctorjazz: Don't remember The Three Peppers, but that was fun!
	♥ 12:53pm Stanley: Huncle!
	♥ 12:54pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	♥ 12:58pm Zipperhead7: Maybe Little Milton figured that John Milton was Big Milton
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: plausible
	♥ 1:02pm Uncle Michael: To hell with Shirley, Barbara, and Jane!
	♥ 1:03pm Uncle Michael: dammit, this is a re-record!
	1:03pm dan: This Pagliaro sounds like Badfinger.
	1:04pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael, that lovely Everlys cover by Harry Nilsson got me wondering if you have any choice Everly Brothers discs in the near vicinity of your turntable today. Hint hint!
	♥ 1:05pm Uncle Michael: hang tight...we'll decide together about Pag
	♥ 1:05pm coelacanth∅: "tighter tighter", then it veers off and yes badfinger, definitely!
	♥ 1:06pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	♥ 1:06pm burke: I remember this one from the power pop episode
	♥ 1:06pm coelacanth∅: this version sounds better
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: It's the real version.
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	🛒 ♥ 1:07pm Alvy Singer: Michael Pagliaro fulfills the CanCon quota for the show.
	♥ 1:07pm coelacanth∅: (i never heard of this artist before or this song)
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: Indeed, Alvy!
	1:07pm dan: Lovin You Ain't Easy by French Canadian Michel Pagliaro broke onto the British charts because it sounds like many of the British acts.
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I always wondered why....and now I know.
	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm Alvy Singer: @dan--It reached #3 in Vancouver and #9 in Toronto.
	♥ 1:10pm Uncle Michael: Mark Radice...every week.
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: definitely derivitive of tighter tighter
	1:12pm dan: @Alvy As well as #31 on the UK Charts
	♥ 1:12pm coelacanth∅: (Michel)
	1:13pm Listening Out There: @UM: So, I was watching a replay of a TDF stage, which had closed captioning enabled. The captioning identified a certain Slovenian cyclist as "Tiny Foccacia." I now conclude my invaluable playlist comment...
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: That's excellent.
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Is it a coincidence that Jagger didn't lean into his falsetto until Barry Gibb started making hits with his?
	🛒 ♥ 1:16pm Alvy Singer: Excellent observation Uncle Michael.
	♥ 1:16pm coelacanth∅: probably not
	♥ 1:16pm Zipperhead7: Just like he mimicked Don Covay in the mide '70s. Hmm . . . I see that the Dean of American Rock Critics has proclaimed Beyonce's new CD as the best CD of the year, and there are still four and a half months to go. At the risk of offending any Beyhivists out there, I suspect that she may the most overrated performer in this century so far
	♥ 1:17pm StringOFperils: Greetings, UM; I've been kitchen-bound, maintaining, but enjoying the musical ride. A loose salute to all!
	♥ 1:17pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	♥ 1:18pm Uncle Michael: I forgot my Ritz sandwiches. My stomach just growled.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: I have Enough Time to go get them.
	♥ 1:19pm StringOFperils: O man, that's like having a turntable go on the fritz
	♥ 1:19pm coelacanth∅: i don't know,Zipperhead, there's no shortage of overrated performers out there! in fact, most likely every one that's been on the top 40 in the past 30 years
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: Pagliaro's tune is very similar, in part, to "Tighter and Tighter" by Alive and Kickin'. But that 1970 tune was better and a "borrow" from Tommy James.
	1:21pm johnk77: @unclemichael left the booth and now returned visible to the 11 viewers on twitch
	1:24pm dan: @Gerry I never realized the difference in the two songs.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: Beyonce didn't even have enough integrity to say "no" to going back into the studio and rerecording one of the cuts from her new album that supposedly contained an "offensive" term.
	1:26pm Dean: Audiophile gear assistance? My neighbor acquired a nifty Systemdek turntable fitted with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm. Weird thing is the anti-skating mechanism, which is affixed to an arm below the tonearm, swivels independent of the tonearm. The anti-skating arm also includes the tonearm clip. It should remain stationary, but since the arm swivels, both the tonearm and the anti-skating arm pivot together. We can't find a way to adjust this, i.e., to secure the anti-skating/clip arm. I've contacted a couple Linn dealers, who could only speculate, because the Basik has long been unavailable. Any ideas, folks?
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, UM, "Undercover" was the 1983 Stones release.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: i got off the bus a good while before tatoo you
	♥ 1:30pm coelacanth∅: Gerry i thought alive n kickin' gave full credit to Tommy James - no?
	♥ 1:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My dad loved this song - El Paso - and as we drove to his memorial, it came on the radio.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: Dean! I wish I could help. I have a Systemdek, but I'm not sure mine is fitted with that arm. I will check after the show.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: That's great, Lizzie.
	♥ 1:32pm WR: El Paso by Marty Robbins was one of the first pop songs to capture my imagination as a youth in West Texas.
	1:32pm Dean: Thanks, UM. I can't wait to hear his table when it's properly set up.
	♥ 1:32pm Doug Schulkind: I can't help it. I hear Marty Robbins, but I think Marty Feldman.
	♥ 1:33pm coelacanth∅: Lizzie, mine was into Marty Robbins in general. country music being a new thing in our house after he had a business trip in nashville!
	♥ 1:33pm Uncle Michael: I don't get the reference, Doug.
	♥ 1:35pm coelacanth∅: my introduction to this song was when i bought a nrps/'dead bootleg when i was ~12. i had no idea what a bootleg was, no idea who the 'dead was. the song was listed as "the rose is on"
	♥ 1:35pm WR: Doug, I have a Marty Feldman story too. I was given his hat from a hotel lost and found after he didn't respond to their informing him that he left it in his room when he checked out.
	♥ 1:35pm Doug Schulkind: There is no reference. Whenever I hear the name Marty, I think of Marty Feldman.
	♥ 1:36pm coelacanth∅: i think of Marty McSorley
	1:36pm Dean: Same for Marty Ehrlich, then, Doug?
	♥ 1:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dad wasn't really into country music but we watched Hee Haw together - he said he liked how you could figure out what the next line would be from the rhyme. He wrote his own doggerel poetry so he appreciated the songs.
	♥ 1:37pm StringOFperils: I think of Marty Kroft....and if I ever find that guy..
	♥ 1:37pm Uncle Michael: Marty Engels
	♥ 1:37pm Zipperhead7: When I taught a class on popular music and discussed Grateful Dead, I played a section of Austin 11/15/71 and explained how they could segue seamlessly from the deepest chromatic improvisation into a C&W waltz and back again
	♥ 1:37pm coelacanth∅: this set has turned into a set of songs the grateful dead has played
	♥ 1:37pm StringOFperils: Sorry, just remembered your avatar, UM. Ha ha ha
	♥ 1:38pm coelacanth∅: long live Johnny Cash
	♥ 1:38pm Doug Schulkind: Especially for Marty Ehrlich.
	♥ 1:39pm Uncle Michael: Marty Allen
	🛒 ♥ 1:39pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy all! Discovered these last three( El Paso/Race is On/ Mama Tried) through Dead covers way back when.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Spent almost a year of my life studying Vietnamese at the Defense Language Institute's SW branch at Fort Bliss("Ignorance is Bliss!") in El Paso, TX. A border town with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, El Paso is truly a lonely outpost in the west Texas mountainous desert. Never had as much excitement as Marty Robbins apparently did. But I knew better than to frequent those bars that our military superiors warned us to stay clear of.
	1:40pm Dean: Marty Gras
	♥ 1:40pm coelacanth∅: Kevin they did big river as well
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Me too.
	🛒 ♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Dead! Not Dead!
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: This Loretta was a Dead staple during the Donna years.
	1:42pm densely: I'm loving this groove.
	♥ 1:43pm coelacanth∅: Hank!
	♥ 1:43pm Uncle Michael: densely!
	1:43pm dan: Speaking of the Kennedy Center Honors @Pedro, Merle, George, Johnny and Loretta are all past honorees. Just realized that.
	1:43pm Gerry from Miami: @ coelacanth. When I said "borrow, " I didn't mean "steal." I think all the proper credits were distributed. Tommy had made a demo of the song, but was displeased with it. Kudos to Alive and Kickin' for turning it into a "One-Hit Wonder."
	1:44pm Dean: Jello Biafra is due a KCH.
	♥ 1:44pm StringOFperils: I first found this song via The Dead Live in '72 album, begrudgingly discovering I was liking country music down in the basement in another galaxy far far away
	1:46pm dan: Hey UM, were all these country songs covered by The Grateful Dead?
	1:46pm KWilde: All these songs were covered by The Dead
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: many, many, many times...staples of their repertoire.
	1:46pm densely: I think it's just as likely that Pig Pen picked up Lovelight from James Cotton as from Bobby Bland.
	♥ 1:47pm coelacanth∅: Pig Pen! oh,wait...
	🛒 ♥ 1:47pm Brian in UK: Chip Taylor does a magnificent version of Big River.
	♥ 1:48pm Uncle Michael: The dead arrangement sounds more like Bland's than Cotton's too me...the licks they lifted...
	1:48pm dan: Dave Edmunds did a Cajun infused version of Promised Land sometime in the 1990s.
	♥ 1:50pm coelacanth∅: this is different than the one on golden decade volume 2' i think a different take, but at least a very different mix
	🛒 ♥ 1:50pm doctorjazz: Love this Valentinos!!!
	♥ 1:52pm coelacanth∅: in any case you could do a 24-hour program of songs the 'dead covered, without repeating any songs
	♥ 1:52pm Uncle Michael: Bobby Womack on the vocal...
	🛒 ♥ 1:53pm doctorjazz: Stones did a great cover too!
	1:53pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Yes, Dave Edmunds's version of Promised Land is a gem, just like nearly everything he has recorded. Bring back Rockpile!!
	1:54pm dan: @Gerry Unfortunately, Dave Edmunds is retired from the music business.
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Just dreamin', dan!
	♥ 1:57pm coelacanth∅: regarding Bob Weir, "took the reigns" is the new "pooped all over"!
	♥ 1:57pm Zipperhead7: Didn't know Edmunds retired. Been a fan since Love Sculpture and Saber Dance
	1:58pm densely: My favorite cover of "It's All Over Now" is Ry Cooder's.
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: Reasonable minds may differ, coel.
	2:00pm prudy: good afternoon UM and all...love me them grateful dead boys...
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: prudy!
	♥ 2:03pm Uncle Michael: densely, how about some Paradise and Lunch next week?
	♥ 2:03pm Zipperhead7: OK, Michael -- what's your favorite show? Mine is 11/8/70 Capitol Theater. Deep space, rockin' covers, fine acoustic set. It covers all the bases. Segue into Dancin' is sublime
	♥ 2:04pm Uncle Michael: That's a great show. I don't have a favorite. I've been listening to shows from the Complete Europe '72 box a lot lately.
	♥ 2:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Rockpile - another 1972 album!
	♥ 2:10pm coelacanth∅: avalon ballroom, 1966. best recorded 'dead show.
	♥ 2:10pm Uncle Michael: Zipperhead, I'm going to revisit that Cap Theater show later.
	♥ 2:11pm Uncle Michael: which date, coel?
	♥ 2:12pm StringOFperils: I am pro Paradise and Lunch next week (or any other, but not too frequently), just for the record
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: noted
	2:13pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Mike, ANY Ry Cooder album would be fine by me! Ry is a national treasure and has earned his spurs in the stringed instrument pantheon. His eclecticism is renowned. He brought us those great Cuban musicians from the Buena Vista Social Club, after all. And to think, he is playing in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band on the ""Safe as Milk" LP from the late 60s!
	2:14pm densely: Some Paradise and Lunch would be great! The remastered Tattler is exquisite.
	♥ 2:15pm Uncle Michael: I played some Ry not long ago.
	2:15pm dan: The Grateful Dead Show that played the night I was born (10/26/1989) Foolish Heart Little Red Rooster Stagger Lee Me and My Uncle Big River Brown-Eyed Women Victim or the Crime Don't Ease Me In Estimated Prophet Blow Away Dark Star Drums Space The Wheel All Along the Watchtower Stella Blue Not Fade Away Encore: And We Bid You Goodnight
	🛒 ♥ 2:15pm Alvy Singer: I'm going to go with the late Fillmore East show on 2/13/70. Band played damn close to 4 hours. They do a ripping The Other One.
	♥ 2:16pm coelacanth∅: UM on record is only "late 1966". released on "vintage dead" and "historic dead". a few of the tracks have turned up in anthologies
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: That's 9/16.
	2:17pm densely: I fell into a rabbit hole a few months ago chasing earlier covers of "Teardrops Will Fall". Very good and very different from one another.
	♥ 2:18pm coelacanth∅: i also really like the felt forum 12-5-71 show. very serine versions of comes a time, sugaree, a few others
	♥ 2:22pm StringOFperils: A great neo-Traffic song
	♥ 2:23pm Uncle Michael: That's a good observation.
	♥ 2:23pm StringOFperils: The Modfather is in-the-know.
	♥ 2:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "I'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton" - !!
	♥ 2:28pm Uncle Michael: So great!
	♥ 2:28pm coelacanth∅: neo-traffic with a nights in white satin melody
	♥ 2:38pm Zipperhead7: Wqsn't this some kind of Phil Spector getting out of contract kissoff?
	♥ 2:39pm Uncle Michael: Something like that...screw-you to his former partner Lester Sill.
	2:39pm dan: This has got Dr. Demento written all over it.
	🛒 ♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: I haven't gotten into the most recent Ry Cooder albums (with the exception of the reunion with Taj Mahal), but love all the earlier ones!
	♥ 2:42pm Zipperhead7: Van Morrison did something similar to get out of his contract with Bang Records
	2:42pm still b/p: Fourth grade teacher nun had to inform me that "screw" could mean something other than "get lost," which was my use of it for a while and was legit but, sure, could land wrong. she didn't tell me what else it could mean, but I had a purty good idea purty soon.
	♥ 2:42pm Uncle Michael: OK, I'll do a contract-breaker/legal-obligation theme soon.
	🛒 ♥ 2:44pm doctorjazz: I have digital recordings of many, if not most Dead shows, but never had the time/energy to listen to them enough to remember one versus another.
	♥ 2:44pm Zipperhead7: great idea Unk!
	2:46pm dan: John Paul Young may be a one hit wonder here, but in his native Australia, he's huge.
	2:46pm still b/p: Somehow this treatment is less catchy than the original hit version, despite having the direct genetic foundation.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: He's a Young, on Albert Productions, produced by Vanda & Young, but as far as I know...not related to the clan.
	🛒 ♥ 2:48pm doctorjazz: Flute music, Jeff G uses it on Sunday to end the show (not Ko-didi), this is cool!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 19, 2022

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	♥ 12:06pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	12:08pm Gerry from Miami: 50 years ago? Sorting 60 letters a minute at an LSM in the Long Beach, California, Postal Distribution Center. All while listening to LA radio giant, KMET, on my headphones, playing this Lou Reed classic, covered here by the great Mott the Hoople.
	🛒 ♥ 12:09pm Jeff Golick: Hello. Watched the Woodstock 99 doc recently. What a (literal) shitshow. Not a great doc, really, but the villains are clear enough.
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	12:09pm sufferwords: wow 72 for me too- 13 doing some 13
	🛒 ♥ 12:09pm Brian in UK: Fifty years later today went to go to the shops on my motorcycle. The left rear indicator bracket cracked & the petrol tap started leaking.
	♥ 12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	♥ 12:10pm coelacanth∅: mid-august, 1972. would've been in southold, ny on long island, once again, as if a ritual, tasting the green grapes that always ripened sometime after we'd left.
	🛒 ♥ 12:10pm adamdoesit: Hi Unk, knowns, and unknowns! 50 years ago, I'd been conceived, but not developed, a trend that continues to this day.
	🛒 ♥ 12:11pm Brian in UK: Time for a cold consoling Pilsner Urquell.
	♥ 12:11pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	♥ 12:12pm Zipperhead7: My daughter Zippelita raised an interesting question: "Daddy, will there be rest homes for hippies, where everyone sits around smoking weed and microdosing?"
	♥ 12:12pm alanr: @Jeff Golick I was working at the time for the Indie Film Channel who had a presence at W-99. I was there to video document the fest and IFC's movie tent.... and luckily had the support of IFC for water, food and housing... but what a fucking mess! (and some nice music...Rage ATM stood out in my memory)
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. Donny Hathaway left us far too soon.
	12:13pm dan: Best albums to come out in 1972 Exile On Main Street Something/Anything Thick As A Brick Bare Trees You Don't Mess Around With Jim Saint Dominic's Preview Seventh Sojourn Can't Buy A Thrill
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm doctorjazz: Helllloooooooo Hinks and Dinks! (Sitting in a waiting room, waiting for my wife to return from her endoscopy).
	12:13pm rw: Zipperhed7, you and Zippelita need to get on that.
	♥ 12:14pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Doc!
	12:15pm rw: Doc, if she comes out and tries to show you pictures I recommend politely declining.
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed Sweet Jane!
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm Jeff Golick: @alanr, wow, glad you got through it ok. The way the corporate ghoul behind it tried to blame the music/bands for some of the chaos is...something.
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	12:16pm dan: Aubrey must've become a popular girl's name after this song.
	12:17pm rw: Mornin' Uncle M!
	12:17pm Gerry from Miami: So incredible, Roberta and Donny. A musical marriage made in heaven. My favorite Donny is his version of Leon Russell's "Song For You." Brings me to tears every time.
	♥ 12:17pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Zipperhed, I thought of that when my MIL was in an assisted living place that was decorated with posters of the Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby and photos of things like the soldier kissing a nurse on VE day. kind of horrifying
	🛒 ♥ 12:17pm Alvy Singer: @dan--Think about ow many records you own from 1972. I'm sure it is quite staggering.
	♥ 12:17pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	12:17pm mauri: Hey uncle michael!
	🛒 ♥ 12:17pm doctorjazz: My daughter came out of anesthesia after dental work, proceeded to sing show tunes at the top of her lungs in recovery and the car ride home (until she came down). I'm guessing my wife won't be quite that entertaining, but who knows...?
	♥ 12:19pm Zipperhead7: Back in the late '50s, David Gates and Leon Russell were the go-to guys when touring folks like Chuck Berry played in Tulsa
	12:19pm dan: @Alvy And I forgot to include Honky Chateau to the mix.
	🛒 ♥ 12:19pm Jeff Golick: After a colonoscopy, emerging from the post-proferol haze, I asked to see my chart. The doc asked my wife, after handing me the clipboard, "He's a doctor?" "Uh, no."
	12:19pm KWilde: Good afternoon! (have been listening - forgot to say hello)
	♥ 12:19pm Uncle Michael: mauri!
	12:20pm dan: This is probably Elton John's best song of the early era, on a personal level for me because it's about New York City.
	12:20pm johnk77: already college drop-out in 1972 left-handed listener here the mott lou reed cover a banger at that time rock radio recurrent golden nugget cuz i dug it
	♥ 12:20pm Uncle Michael: john!
	♥ 12:20pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. That's quite a list for that year. I am sure you could come up with at least that number and more if you sat down and worked on it. A fertile period for pop and rock music, indeed.
	♥ 12:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: August 1972 - I was heartbroken because I'd seen the Rolling Stones with a guy who turned out not to want to be my boyfriend, and was starting a very bad romance with a much older and very needy man. Luckily, about to go away for college where I found someone more appropriate.
	12:23pm dan: Davey Johnstone's mandolin is the icing on the cake
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Stevie Wonder released two albums in'72, Music of My Mind and Talking Book.
	🛒 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: Love this Randy Newman!
	12:25pm johnk77: that hard to remember period mostly before college radio
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm Pedro in Arlington: Has Randy Newman ever received a Presidential Medal or Honor or a Kennedy Center Honor? I know I could Google but I suspect the answer is no so asking more for the outrage.
	🛒 ♥ 12:26pm doctorjazz: Bet Randy Newman would be fun after anesthesia...
	12:26pm dan: @Pedro He has gotten neither.
	♥ 12:27pm Webhamster Henry: 1972 wins today!
	🛒 ♥ 12:27pm Pedro in Arlington: @dan: As I suspected. A true blemish on this country.
	12:27pm johnk77: randy often very funny at his rare live gigs
	12:29pm dan: @Pedro A real blemish is this year's Kennedy Center Honors is that Liza Minnelli and Tommy Tune still haven't gotten them, yet George Clooney and U2 are recipients this time around. Are you fucking kidding me?
	♥ 12:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm reading Wikipedia's 1972 in Music entry and wow. So many great albums.
	♥ 12:32pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Henry!
	12:32pm Gerry from Miami: @Pedro. At least Randy is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. He has won a Best Song Oscar and several Grammys.
	🛒 ♥ 12:33pm Alex In Illinois: This is the first time I have heard anyone other than Chuck Berry do this song. 50 Years ago, I was 8.
	♥ 12:33pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: Duke!!!!
	12:35pm dan: @Pedro I'm not even a big Randy Newman fan, but he would deserve the KCH more than George Clooney and U2. At least one of the other honorees this year is Gladys Knight. She deserves every honor under the sun.
	🛒 ♥ 12:38pm Pedro in Arlington: Glad Mr. Newman's film success keeps his accountant quite happy. But the KenCen honor of U2 speaks of network TV desperation of the highest order. And nothing against those kids from Belfast. Somebody has to be U2 and they're good at it.
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: More 1972 "fave" albums---Ziggy Stardust, Close to the Edge, Super Fly, Machine Head, Harvest, #1 Record(Big Star, in case you forgot!), Eat a Peach, Sailin' Shoes(underrated Little Feat), For the Roses, Pink Moon(the late, great Nick Drake). Just a smattering.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: The one and only Velvet Fog, Mr. Mel Torme!
	12:41pm dan: @Pedro They tried to increase viewership a few years ago by giving LL Cool J a KCH, but that year wound up being the lowest viewed ceremony at that point. The fact of the matter is, young people are not into the KCH and no matter how many contemporary names you throw at them, they won't tune in.
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: I'm 62 and I wouldn't tune in if they gave one to me.
	12:43pm dan: @UM Haven't tuned in to the KCH in years. It used to be a happening for me, but they've gone down in quality in recent years.
	12:44pm dan: @Gerry Forgot all those albums. Man 1972 was amazing for music.
	12:46pm Gerry from Miami: At least the KCH has seen fit to honor artists from all genres---pop, classical, jazz, opera, theater, dance, Broadway musicals, film and television acting and directing.
	12:48pm dan: @Gerry They picked the best of the best in the first 30 years.
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: The Who was another sad KenCen Honor choice. Moon and the Ox stayed away regardless.
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm doctorjazz: Don't remember The Three Peppers, but that was fun!
	♥ 12:53pm Stanley: Huncle!
	♥ 12:54pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	♥ 12:58pm Zipperhead7: Maybe Little Milton figured that John Milton was Big Milton
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: plausible
	♥ 1:02pm Uncle Michael: To hell with Shirley, Barbara, and Jane!
	♥ 1:03pm Uncle Michael: dammit, this is a re-record!
	1:03pm dan: This Pagliaro sounds like Badfinger.
	1:04pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael, that lovely Everlys cover by Harry Nilsson got me wondering if you have any choice Everly Brothers discs in the near vicinity of your turntable today. Hint hint!
	♥ 1:05pm Uncle Michael: hang tight...we'll decide together about Pag
	♥ 1:05pm coelacanth∅: "tighter tighter", then it veers off and yes badfinger, definitely!
	♥ 1:06pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	♥ 1:06pm burke: I remember this one from the power pop episode
	♥ 1:06pm coelacanth∅: this version sounds better
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: It's the real version.
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	🛒 ♥ 1:07pm Alvy Singer: Michael Pagliaro fulfills the CanCon quota for the show.
	♥ 1:07pm coelacanth∅: (i never heard of this artist before or this song)
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: Indeed, Alvy!
	1:07pm dan: Lovin You Ain't Easy by French Canadian Michel Pagliaro broke onto the British charts because it sounds like many of the British acts.
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I always wondered why....and now I know.
	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm Alvy Singer: @dan--It reached #3 in Vancouver and #9 in Toronto.
	♥ 1:10pm Uncle Michael: Mark Radice...every week.
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: definitely derivitive of tighter tighter
	1:12pm dan: @Alvy As well as #31 on the UK Charts
	♥ 1:12pm coelacanth∅: (Michel)
	1:13pm Listening Out There: @UM: So, I was watching a replay of a TDF stage, which had closed captioning enabled. The captioning identified a certain Slovenian cyclist as "Tiny Foccacia." I now conclude my invaluable playlist comment...
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: That's excellent.
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Is it a coincidence that Jagger didn't lean into his falsetto until Barry Gibb started making hits with his?
	🛒 ♥ 1:16pm Alvy Singer: Excellent observation Uncle Michael.
	♥ 1:16pm coelacanth∅: probably not
	♥ 1:16pm Zipperhead7: Just like he mimicked Don Covay in the mide '70s. Hmm . . . I see that the Dean of American Rock Critics has proclaimed Beyonce's new CD as the best CD of the year, and there are still four and a half months to go. At the risk of offending any Beyhivists out there, I suspect that she may the most overrated performer in this century so far
	♥ 1:17pm StringOFperils: Greetings, UM; I've been kitchen-bound, maintaining, but enjoying the musical ride. A loose salute to all!
	♥ 1:17pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	♥ 1:18pm Uncle Michael: I forgot my Ritz sandwiches. My stomach just growled.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: I have Enough Time to go get them.
	♥ 1:19pm StringOFperils: O man, that's like having a turntable go on the fritz
	♥ 1:19pm coelacanth∅: i don't know,Zipperhead, there's no shortage of overrated performers out there! in fact, most likely every one that's been on the top 40 in the past 30 years
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: Pagliaro's tune is very similar, in part, to "Tighter and Tighter" by Alive and Kickin'. But that 1970 tune was better and a "borrow" from Tommy James.
	1:21pm johnk77: @unclemichael left the booth and now returned visible to the 11 viewers on twitch
	1:24pm dan: @Gerry I never realized the difference in the two songs.
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: Beyonce didn't even have enough integrity to say "no" to going back into the studio and rerecording one of the cuts from her new album that supposedly contained an "offensive" term.
	1:26pm Dean: Audiophile gear assistance? My neighbor acquired a nifty Systemdek turntable fitted with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm. Weird thing is the anti-skating mechanism, which is affixed to an arm below the tonearm, swivels independent of the tonearm. The anti-skating arm also includes the tonearm clip. It should remain stationary, but since the arm swivels, both the tonearm and the anti-skating arm pivot together. We can't find a way to adjust this, i.e., to secure the anti-skating/clip arm. I've contacted a couple Linn dealers, who could only speculate, because the Basik has long been unavailable. Any ideas, folks?
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, UM, "Undercover" was the 1983 Stones release.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: i got off the bus a good while before tatoo you
	♥ 1:30pm coelacanth∅: Gerry i thought alive n kickin' gave full credit to Tommy James - no?
	♥ 1:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: My dad loved this song - El Paso - and as we drove to his memorial, it came on the radio.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: Dean! I wish I could help. I have a Systemdek, but I'm not sure mine is fitted with that arm. I will check after the show.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: That's great, Lizzie.
	♥ 1:32pm WR: El Paso by Marty Robbins was one of the first pop songs to capture my imagination as a youth in West Texas.
	1:32pm Dean: Thanks, UM. I can't wait to hear his table when it's properly set up.
	♥ 1:32pm Doug Schulkind: I can't help it. I hear Marty Robbins, but I think Marty Feldman.
	♥ 1:33pm coelacanth∅: Lizzie, mine was into Marty Robbins in general. country music being a new thing in our house after he had a business trip in nashville!
	♥ 1:33pm Uncle Michael: I don't get the reference, Doug.
	♥ 1:35pm coelacanth∅: my introduction to this song was when i bought a nrps/'dead bootleg when i was ~12. i had no idea what a bootleg was, no idea who the 'dead was. the song was listed as "the rose is on"
	♥ 1:35pm WR: Doug, I have a Marty Feldman story too. I was given his hat from a hotel lost and found after he didn't respond to their informing him that he left it in his room when he checked out.
	♥ 1:35pm Doug Schulkind: There is no reference. Whenever I hear the name Marty, I think of Marty Feldman.
	♥ 1:36pm coelacanth∅: i think of Marty McSorley
	1:36pm Dean: Same for Marty Ehrlich, then, Doug?
	♥ 1:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dad wasn't really into country music but we watched Hee Haw together - he said he liked how you could figure out what the next line would be from the rhyme. He wrote his own doggerel poetry so he appreciated the songs.
	♥ 1:37pm StringOFperils: I think of Marty Kroft....and if I ever find that guy..
	♥ 1:37pm Uncle Michael: Marty Engels
	♥ 1:37pm Zipperhead7: When I taught a class on popular music and discussed Grateful Dead, I played a section of Austin 11/15/71 and explained how they could segue seamlessly from the deepest chromatic improvisation into a C&W waltz and back again
	♥ 1:37pm coelacanth∅: this set has turned into a set of songs the grateful dead has played
	♥ 1:37pm StringOFperils: Sorry, just remembered your avatar, UM. Ha ha ha
	♥ 1:38pm coelacanth∅: long live Johnny Cash
	♥ 1:38pm Doug Schulkind: Especially for Marty Ehrlich.
	♥ 1:39pm Uncle Michael: Marty Allen
	🛒 ♥ 1:39pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy all! Discovered these last three( El Paso/Race is On/ Mama Tried) through Dead covers way back when.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Spent almost a year of my life studying Vietnamese at the Defense Language Institute's SW branch at Fort Bliss("Ignorance is Bliss!") in El Paso, TX. A border town with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, El Paso is truly a lonely outpost in the west Texas mountainous desert. Never had as much excitement as Marty Robbins apparently did. But I knew better than to frequent those bars that our military superiors warned us to stay clear of.
	1:40pm Dean: Marty Gras
	♥ 1:40pm coelacanth∅: Kevin they did big river as well
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Me too.
	🛒 ♥ 1:41pm doctorjazz: Dead! Not Dead!
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: This Loretta was a Dead staple during the Donna years.
	1:42pm densely: I'm loving this groove.
	♥ 1:43pm coelacanth∅: Hank!
	♥ 1:43pm Uncle Michael: densely!
	1:43pm dan: Speaking of the Kennedy Center Honors @Pedro, Merle, George, Johnny and Loretta are all past honorees. Just realized that.
	1:43pm Gerry from Miami: @ coelacanth. When I said "borrow, " I didn't mean "steal." I think all the proper credits were distributed. Tommy had made a demo of the song, but was displeased with it. Kudos to Alive and Kickin' for turning it into a "One-Hit Wonder."
	1:44pm Dean: Jello Biafra is due a KCH.
	♥ 1:44pm StringOFperils: I first found this song via The Dead Live in '72 album, begrudgingly discovering I was liking country music down in the basement in another galaxy far far away
	1:46pm dan: Hey UM, were all these country songs covered by The Grateful Dead?
	1:46pm KWilde: All these songs were covered by The Dead
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: many, many, many times...staples of their repertoire.
	1:46pm densely: I think it's just as likely that Pig Pen picked up Lovelight from James Cotton as from Bobby Bland.
	♥ 1:47pm coelacanth∅: Pig Pen! oh,wait...
	🛒 ♥ 1:47pm Brian in UK: Chip Taylor does a magnificent version of Big River.
	♥ 1:48pm Uncle Michael: The dead arrangement sounds more like Bland's than Cotton's too me...the licks they lifted...
	1:48pm dan: Dave Edmunds did a Cajun infused version of Promised Land sometime in the 1990s.
	♥ 1:50pm coelacanth∅: this is different than the one on golden decade volume 2' i think a different take, but at least a very different mix
	🛒 ♥ 1:50pm doctorjazz: Love this Valentinos!!!
	♥ 1:52pm coelacanth∅: in any case you could do a 24-hour program of songs the 'dead covered, without repeating any songs
	♥ 1:52pm Uncle Michael: Bobby Womack on the vocal...
	🛒 ♥ 1:53pm doctorjazz: Stones did a great cover too!
	1:53pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Yes, Dave Edmunds's version of Promised Land is a gem, just like nearly everything he has recorded. Bring back Rockpile!!
	1:54pm dan: @Gerry Unfortunately, Dave Edmunds is retired from the music business.
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Just dreamin', dan!
	♥ 1:57pm coelacanth∅: regarding Bob Weir, "took the reigns" is the new "pooped all over"!
	♥ 1:57pm Zipperhead7: Didn't know Edmunds retired. Been a fan since Love Sculpture and Saber Dance
	1:58pm densely: My favorite cover of "It's All Over Now" is Ry Cooder's.
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: Reasonable minds may differ, coel.
	2:00pm prudy: good afternoon UM and all...love me them grateful dead boys...
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: prudy!
	♥ 2:03pm Uncle Michael: densely, how about some Paradise and Lunch next week?
	♥ 2:03pm Zipperhead7: OK, Michael -- what's your favorite show? Mine is 11/8/70 Capitol Theater. Deep space, rockin' covers, fine acoustic set. It covers all the bases. Segue into Dancin' is sublime
	♥ 2:04pm Uncle Michael: That's a great show. I don't have a favorite. I've been listening to shows from the Complete Europe '72 box a lot lately.
	♥ 2:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Rockpile - another 1972 album!
	♥ 2:10pm coelacanth∅: avalon ballroom, 1966. best recorded 'dead show.
	♥ 2:10pm Uncle Michael: Zipperhead, I'm going to revisit that Cap Theater show later.
	♥ 2:11pm Uncle Michael: which date, coel?
	♥ 2:12pm StringOFperils: I am pro Paradise and Lunch next week (or any other, but not too frequently), just for the record
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: noted
	2:13pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Mike, ANY Ry Cooder album would be fine by me! Ry is a national treasure and has earned his spurs in the stringed instrument pantheon. His eclecticism is renowned. He brought us those great Cuban musicians from the Buena Vista Social Club, after all. And to think, he is playing in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band on the ""Safe as Milk" LP from the late 60s!
	2:14pm densely: Some Paradise and Lunch would be great! The remastered Tattler is exquisite.
	♥ 2:15pm Uncle Michael: I played some Ry not long ago.
	2:15pm dan: The Grateful Dead Show that played the night I was born (10/26/1989) Foolish Heart Little Red Rooster Stagger Lee Me and My Uncle Big River Brown-Eyed Women Victim or the Crime Don't Ease Me In Estimated Prophet Blow Away Dark Star Drums Space The Wheel All Along the Watchtower Stella Blue Not Fade Away Encore: And We Bid You Goodnight
	🛒 ♥ 2:15pm Alvy Singer: I'm going to go with the late Fillmore East show on 2/13/70. Band played damn close to 4 hours. They do a ripping The Other One.
	♥ 2:16pm coelacanth∅: UM on record is only "late 1966". released on "vintage dead" and "historic dead". a few of the tracks have turned up in anthologies
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: That's 9/16.
	2:17pm densely: I fell into a rabbit hole a few months ago chasing earlier covers of "Teardrops Will Fall". Very good and very different from one another.
	♥ 2:18pm coelacanth∅: i also really like the felt forum 12-5-71 show. very serine versions of comes a time, sugaree, a few others
	♥ 2:22pm StringOFperils: A great neo-Traffic song
	♥ 2:23pm Uncle Michael: That's a good observation.
	♥ 2:23pm StringOFperils: The Modfather is in-the-know.
	♥ 2:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "I'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton" - !!
	♥ 2:28pm Uncle Michael: So great!
	♥ 2:28pm coelacanth∅: neo-traffic with a nights in white satin melody
	♥ 2:38pm Zipperhead7: Wqsn't this some kind of Phil Spector getting out of contract kissoff?
	♥ 2:39pm Uncle Michael: Something like that...screw-you to his former partner Lester Sill.
	2:39pm dan: This has got Dr. Demento written all over it.
	🛒 ♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: I haven't gotten into the most recent Ry Cooder albums (with the exception of the reunion with Taj Mahal), but love all the earlier ones!
	♥ 2:42pm Zipperhead7: Van Morrison did something similar to get out of his contract with Bang Records
	2:42pm still b/p: Fourth grade teacher nun had to inform me that "screw" could mean something other than "get lost," which was my use of it for a while and was legit but, sure, could land wrong. she didn't tell me what else it could mean, but I had a purty good idea purty soon.
	♥ 2:42pm Uncle Michael: OK, I'll do a contract-breaker/legal-obligation theme soon.
	🛒 ♥ 2:44pm doctorjazz: I have digital recordings of many, if not most Dead shows, but never had the time/energy to listen to them enough to remember one versus another.
	♥ 2:44pm Zipperhead7: great idea Unk!
	2:46pm dan: John Paul Young may be a one hit wonder here, but in his native Australia, he's huge.
	2:46pm still b/p: Somehow this treatment is less catchy than the original hit version, despite having the direct genetic foundation.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: He's a Young, on Albert Productions, produced by Vanda & Young, but as far as I know...not related to the clan.
	🛒 ♥ 2:48pm doctorjazz: Flute music, Jeff G uses it on Sunday to end the show (not Ko-didi), this is cool!
	2:49pm dan: @UM No relation to the AC/DC / Easybeats Young family.
	🛒 ♥ 2:50pm Brian in UK: Great job, Uncle. Ending with some cool South African jazz.
	♥ 2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks. Not quite ending...
	♥ 2:52pm StringOFperils: Thanks Uncle Michael! Have a good one....called away..
	🛒 ♥ 2:53pm doctorjazz: The Drummer Stream these days often features South African Jazz (likely related to the Chris Albertyn connection)
	♥ 2:53pm Uncle Michael: VERY likely.
	🛒 ♥ 2:55pm Alvy Singer: Another enjoyable freeform beauty Uncle Michael. Thanks so much.
	♥ 2:55pm Uncle Michael: YW, Alvy,
	🛒 ♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz: Close to the end, got to listen to most (some travel time), great show, UM, thanks! (and for those wondering, my wife DIDN'T come out of anesthesia singing show tunes, to my disappointment. The procedure went well, though, good report from the doc, which was great)
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: Great news, Doc!
	🛒 ♥ 2:59pm Jeff Golick: TYUM!
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: My wife won't let me have propofol anymore. There was a Walgreens incident.
	♥ 3:00pm Uncle Michael: YW, Jeff!
	3:00pm dan: Great show UM
	♥ 3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M!
	3:01pm still b/p: Is there video, UM? Along with your surf stunts on the Topeka canals before you left?
	♥ 3:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Sweet show, Uncle Michael! Thanks! Have a great weekend all!
	3:04pm Gerry from Miami: Is that the Paul Collins Beat? American band after the Nerves broke up.
	3:04pm adamdoesit: Thanks Unk!
	3:05pm Gerry from Miami: Next week, Unca Mike!
	♥ 3:06pm Uncle Michael: Bye, everyone. Thanks!
	♥ 3:06pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Gerry.
