Hey Amanda----may I pre -board the show ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53am Amanda:

I don't know--what zone are you in?
  11:57am Rich in NC:

uh----NC via NYC ?

Hello Hello
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:00pm listener james from westwood:

How do, all those in the Nazario Zone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:04pm Amanda:

Welcome one and all!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:04pm Gaylord Fields:

Sigh...I guess Brooklyn and Queens technically count as New York.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:05pm Amanda:

Eep, I hope Ron Dante's beloved Staten Island counts too, Gaylord!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm Gaylord Fields:

@Amanda: I thought Archie was from Riverdale?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:08pm listener james from westwood:

Ah, local electronics suppliers and their ads!
Avatar 12:10pm ndbob:

afternoon Amanda and everyone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm Amanda:

A commonly-held misconception. But Carly Simon, who I played on a past one of these, is really from Riverdale!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm Gaylord Fields:

Native Manhattanite snobbery is such a quaint and archaic concept — which is why I will revel in it way past its expiration date.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:16pm doctorjazz:

Kid Creole, saw them back in the day, great band!
Hiu all!
Avatar 12:20pm KP:

Good afternoon, Amanda and all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm Amanda:

I love Kid Creole & the Coconuts. Super underrated.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:24pm Gaylord Fields:

Amanda, would John B. Sebastian be the famous New York musician who grew up closest to where you did? Mine would be Suzanne Vega and Fiona Apple.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm listener james from westwood:

In my case it's Jennifer Lopez. She's Castle Hill, I was that and Parkchester, both in the boogie-down Bronx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm Amanda:

I think it's likely, Gaylord! Though Ad-Rock went to the same elementary school as me so he might have been even closer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm Gaylord Fields:

@listener james from the block: That's a pretty great one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm @sugarwolf@:

hello!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:29pm Amanda:

Hiya sugarwolf!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:30pm @sugarwolf@:

I'm a native of NYS not NYC, can I still listen??

My grandfather grew up in Jamaica though!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm @sugarwolf@:

The Mets do something stupid??? What???
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:33pm Gaylord Fields:

@@sugarwolf@: It's not just Lance Broadway.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello from Social Welfare Policy class!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm listener james from westwood:

@sugarwolf: My family moved to Jersey when I was 5, so I say hell yes, it's for all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:37pm listener james from westwood:

How do, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:38pm Amanda:

Doug, stop commenting in class!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm Gaylord Fields:

If you are descended from a New Yorker, you are one of us!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:41pm listener james from westwood:

I descended from the New Yorker to Mad Magazine to Screw.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Before anyone else grabs him, I'm claiming Lawrence Welk as the closest musician to my growing-up home. Not much New York connection, I suppose. He went west coast to seek his fortune.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:43pm listener james from westwood:

Hah! Speaking of Screw!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:44pm @sugarwolf@:

I used to visit my father who worked in Manhattan. Back then, there was a Chemical Bank on the ground floor, now it's a Kate Spade!
Avatar 12:46pm Roberto:

What wasn't SFW about that?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm listener james from westwood:

Dueling tobacco-scarred NYC pornographers: Al Goldstein and Bob Guccione.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:46pm @sugarwolf@:

Oh, this summer a local judge was a super gross racist jerk to a local Mexican restaurant. His name was Al Goldstein, and all I could think was wow, he gives a bad name to Al Goldsteins!!
Avatar 12:46pm ndbob:

I knew a number of people from Welk's home area when I lived in North Dakota
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm Amanda:

You guys're right, I selected a pretty tame segment to broadcast.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm listener james from westwood:

I helped at the admissions booth of the FMU Record Fair alongside a woman who worked w/ Al G. (not the judge) and she had such stories.
Avatar 12:49pm geezerette:

I survived Seacaucus. That should count.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:51pm Gaylord Fields:

@geezerette: You get a special dispensation because Channel 9 broadcast out of Sea-Caucus.
Avatar 12:51pm geezerette:

Yay!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:53pm @sugarwolf@:

THE MILFORD PLAZA!!

I hope you have also found the I Love NY ads with all the Broadway stars.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:54pm listener james from westwood:

Peak moment as a new NYC commuter was hearing two folks outside said hotel sing "And in the center of it all / Is the Milford Plaza!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:54pm Amanda:

I mean, $44 per night is a pretty great deal!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:56pm doctorjazz:

Sonny! Great track!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm listener james from westwood:

Up the road from where I lived in Parkchester we had one of the KFC knock-offs famous in NYC, a Kansas Fried Chicken.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm Amanda:

Ah yes, in Washington Heights we had Kennedy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm listener james from westwood:

"Aw, I almost had him eatin' dog food!"
Avatar 1:05pm KP:

I was born in the Bronx but i was young then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm steve:

hello! late but present
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:07pm Amanda:

Ha, James, you made me LOL!
  1:08pm Dean:

Oliver Knussen wrote a short opera WTWTA with libretto by Sendak. It's wonderful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:08pm Amanda:

Hello to all, late and early! I've given up on individual name-checks but you're all welcome in this playlist comments board of immigrants.
Avatar 1:10pm geezerette:

Amanda,we are but your wretched refuse. Awwww!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:12pm Amanda:

"ahh, first we'll take your tired, then your poor... your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."
Avatar 1:13pm northguineahills:

@KP: I was young when I was born too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:14pm listener james from westwood:

@Amanda: My work here is done!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:20pm listener james from westwood:

"Look! Fourth Street and D!"
(Chuck D wonders why Marge is pointing at him)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:25pm listener james from westwood:

@Amanda: Awww, I totally get that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm listener james from westwood:

Tony Bennett has to be one of the biggest early "gets," no?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:34pm Amanda:

The very first big "get," in fact!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:39pm @sugarwolf@:

FREESTYLE YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:40pm listener james from westwood:

High school dance floor filler!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:40pm Amanda:

A fellow freestyle enthusiast!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:41pm Amanda:

Oh wait, another one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:41pm Gaylord Fields:

@Amanda @listener james from westwood: More so than Tom Poston?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:44pm Amanda:

@Gaylord, it's a good point--Tom Poston was well respected and, perhaps more to the point, terrific in the role!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:46pm Gaylord Fields:

Precisely, Amanda: I'd call Bennett and Poston "co-gets."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:52pm listener james from westwood:

Now that I see he was on "Mork and Mindy," I agree.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:52pm Gary:

Good Gershes!
Avatar 1:56pm geezerette:

Got any George M. Cohan?

GREAT SHOW Amanda!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:56pm listener james from westwood:

Yes indeedy, thanks, Amanda!
Avatar 1:57pm ndbob:

excellent show Amanda - can't stay for Gary but will hear him tonight
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:58pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Now I'm playing "Baby Elephant Walk" in my head. Have a good week, Amanda and all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:58pm Amanda:

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU for joining me today! I had such fun. I wish 9/11 lasted all year.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Gaylord Fields:

And "New York City" was written by Canadians!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Gaylord Fields:

Amanda, thanks for repping NYC so well, once again!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:00pm Amanda:

Aw shucks. Thanks Gaylord! Hearts!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:01pm Amanda:

I <3 you guys like the <3 on a Love's Drug Store shopping bag!
  11:47pm joan baez:

i don't see anyone from staten island on the playlist
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:09am Amanda:

The Cuff Links are from Staten Island.
  8:32pm Bah bah buh-buh-buh-baaah:

Seems you're right. There's a twist in Cuff Links' history - SI's Ron Dante wasn't on the second/final album, after signing an exclusive deal with the Archies (and/or dispute with record co.) - Brit Rupert Holmes sang most of it's lead vocals, says Wkpd . . . . Last month Dante did an 11-song set with the Fruitgum Co. . . . . Holmes' ringtone is coughing, so not to disrupt theater attendances . . . . I posted a couple jingles to YT, but no one's found the c. 1975-6 radio jingle for the Martin's Paint store chain burned into my memory from singing it with a classmate to school.
