Listener comments!

	8:00pm Krys O.: Hello!
	👻 8:01pm Mr Fab: yay, time for cool old radio.
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: I'm streaming The Wiggle Room tonight. Hopefully it sounds good!
	8:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Mark, folks! Sounds good Austin!
	👻 8:04pm Austin Rich: Good to know, Pauly! I get more nervous over other people's shows more than my own.
	8:04pm Scott67: Crisp & clean Austin, Like my Vietnamese Lager. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	👻 8:05pm Austin Rich: Mmmmmm. Lager. Yum.
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: Scott has given me an idea
	8:06pm Scott67: Happy to inspire you Kat. Cheers mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: Is Mark in the chat?
	👻 8:10pm Mr Fab: He does sound like he's had a few already...
	8:12pm Krys O.: Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
	8:15pm Kat in Chicago: 4501 W. Irving Park isn't far from where I am now.
	👻 8:15pm Mr Fab: how do people live in that weather?!
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: Oh, yeah. This show is "local" for you, Kat.
	8:16pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't live here till 1980 but this is still super interesting. @Mr. Fab - I ask myself that every January.
	👻 8:16pm Mr Fab: "he's dancing with the chicken slacks..."
	8:17pm Krys O.: HA!
	👻 8:18pm Austin Rich: "Weeee're." That was a little sloppy.
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: When I still smoked cigarettes, I smoked Camels for a while. Until I discovered there was a brand called, "Austin," which was... well, my brand.
	👻 8:20pm Mr Fab: This station was big on the folk revival. (Maybe everyone was, at this tiime?)
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: '62 seems right for that.
	8:21pm Krys O.: The Highwaymen were big then.
	8:22pm Krys O.: Somehow I'm remembering Donny & Marie doing Cotton Fields. They did that country thang.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: Live Radio Ad Reads! So wild. I love it.
	👻 8:22pm Mr Fab: don't know them, but I could just imagine the flattop hair, and matching shirts.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: That's the kind of "U 2" you don't hear a lot of on the radio these days.
	8:24pm Krys O.: The Highwaymen had a #1 hit with Michael Row the Boat Ashore.
	8:25pm Krys O.: Cryin' Connie....
	8:25pm Krys O.: From Wiki: The Highwaymen had a significant impact on the folk scene of the early 1960s. Aside from two major hit singles and several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the group contributed two future standards to the folk repertoire, "All My Trials", "Big Rock Candy Mountain", and played the central role in uncovering "Cotton Fields", a long-overlooked song by Lead Belly, which subsequently became a major addition to the repertoires of both the Beach Boys and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Highwaymen also made the first recording of "Universal Soldier", by Buffy Sainte-Marie.[27]
	👻 8:26pm Mr Fab: Was commercial radio always this gabby? I love hearing it now, but it might have annoyed listeners who just wanted music. "Less rock, more talk."
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: I think the idea of a "Rock Block" (a few songs without a DJ talking) is a post-70's idea. In think in the old days, they really thought you should talk between every record. And, technologically speaking, it was hard to flip records constantly without stopping to talk a little.
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: That sounds a little like Gary Owens...
	8:28pm Krys O.: @Mr. Fab: I was just thinking of Dan Ingram who was big in the NYC area in the 60s onward. He would drop-in to songs, but he was hilarious and it wasn't annoying to many of us. I also remember FM AOR radio with the stoner sounding DJs.
	👻 8:30pm Mr Fab: Yeah, I guess DJs were sometimes as popular as the records they were playing.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: "I'm so strong and healthy, vitamins take me" - Ernie invented Chuck Norris jokes!
	👻 8:31pm Austin Rich: Ha! That's right!
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: This specific aircheck must be the one that Scott Simon used to produce that spot above.
	👻 8:35pm Mr Fab: soul groovers alternating with folkies is an odd format...
	8:36pm Krys O.: Odetta combined the two.
	👻 8:37pm Mr Fab: "WJJD: Your #1 Station For Funky Jamz and MellowFolk!"
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: There must have been an audience for it.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: "Be nice to the kids." Ha!
	8:39pm Krys O.: LoL!
	8:40pm squidbeak: ❤️
	👻 8:42pm Austin Rich: Ha! "Salem is Different!" It sure is. It's the town I live in!
	8:42pm Krys O.: Blechhhh
	8:42pm Krys O.: Art is a card!
	8:43pm Krys O.: Ha, Austin!
	8:46pm Krys O.: Oh, this set of music is really sweet.
	8:47pm Krys O.: The gorgeous voice of Nancy Wilson.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Interesting. The kids would go out on Saturday, if Halloween was on a Sunday?
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: right on, Lambert Hendricks and Ross!
	8:50pm Krys O.: More time to eat candy after church. Plus Sunday night is before school.
	8:50pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I was wondering about that
	8:50pm Krys O.: This is CHOICE stuff!
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: very hip choice, instead of the usual Monster Mash.
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: That's interesting. I guess in my time (80's / 90's) you went out on Halloween, regardless of the day of the week. I recall at least one Sunday night Halloween where I had school the next day.
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: Oh yeah, you'd g to school, go trick or treating at night, school next day with a bag of candy.
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: Great selections this week, Mark! (Wherever you are!)
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: this is pretty creaky and old-fashioned for 1965.
	8:56pm Krys O.: Smack dab in the middle of the road.
	8:56pm Krys O.: This makes Perry sound like Be Bop.
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: Which road? Certainly not the Highway To Hell.
	8:57pm Scott67: Thanks Mark, & Austin for able assist! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	8:58pm Krys O.: MoR Radio as opposed to Beautiful Music. Thanks, MarkTime! Thanks, Austin!
	👻 9:00pm Mr Fab: thanks all, loved it!
	👻 9:07pm WR: that was sweet, thank you.
