	12:01pm Uncle Michael: this thing on?
	12:01pm βrian: Rooty-poots are on sale now at the Hinky Dink.
	12:02pm bradford: Hey there Uncle Michael & all!
	12:02pm Listener Robert: Somebody just got off a riding mower across the street that someone else was driving and is coming toward your door. Aw, when you switched to the inside cam and you were already there you dashed my hope that that was the show opening I've been hoping for.
	🛒 12:03pm Michael C St Lou: yes, and I promise not to bring a rose with no thorns
	12:03pm (Mr) Bill: Belushi for lunch. Good as it gets.
	12:04pm still b/p: How would you rate Animal House? I'd give it a 5. Is that heresy?
	12:04pm Brian in UK: Uncle. Hope this is not too insidious.
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Belushi does a fine job of that... Good version of the tune he's 'protesting' there - 'I Gave My Love a Diamond' - on Van & Them's first Album btw...
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Brian! bradford! Robert! Michael! Bill! still b/p! BiUK!
	12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by "Mac (Harry “haywire ... ...Depression era Musics obvsly...
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	12:06pm still b/p: "There's a lake of stew and whisky, too, You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe." Favorite line.
	12:07pm DjLorraine: Hay hey now! 👋
	🛒 12:07pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ still b/p @12:04 same, 5 out of 5
	12:07pm TDK60: Ho, U.M. Folk?! Ooooo, I'm a fear'd. Funny. Last night I played two protest songs at an open mic. I said "This is folk and protest." When the audience remained I said, "Wow, nobody fled."
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: TDK!
	12:08pm βrian: Most of the Teamsters couldn't figure out which side.
	12:09pm βrian: Jimmy smokes crack, is how I remember it.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: ↳ βrian @12:08 Local Teamsters' chapters have been encouraged to, and have been picking the right side.
	12:10pm βrian: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:09 All politics really is local, I guess. Good for them.
	12:12pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:12pm rw: Good morning!
	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Show title 'the great Folk scare' referring - far as I know - to something Judy Collins referred to in terms of people getting uptight in the early~mid 1960s whether various things were Authentic Folk or getting a little too Popularized or Commercial what have you...
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: KWilde! rw!
	12:13pm Roberto: Whoops, almost forgot to Hink my Dink!
	12:13pm WR: Hi Uncle Michael. Somehow, (perhaps the similarity of Mac McClintock's name) this has reminded that I bought the Mack McCormick "Playing for the Man at the Door" comp a month or so ago but haven't listened to it much.
	12:13pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Hi Revrabbit. I recall it being a quip of Dave Van Ronk, a few years after the early-mid-'60s.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! WR!
	12:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Was once on the National Mall for the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival and I watched a skinny older guy walking around, stooping to pick up bits of trash that people had tossed. He put those in his pocket and kept walking until he met up with his wife. It was Pete Seeger, American saint.
	12:14pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "The Hammer Song" by "The Weavers" Sang this in Catholic school masses. Slightly odd fit.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @12:13 Aha. Judy referring to Ronk mayhaps.
	12:16pm Alvy Singer: Hey UM!!
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:14 The real thing.
	12:17pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Rev: I don't know but they might've been pals. I was down in Ronk territory last night. Positively 4th St. & Sheridan Square.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:17pm DjLorraine: My Grandmother was named Irene🥰
	12:17pm ScottinDenver: Not sure if you have a theme today but it would be nice to hear a little Charlie Burton and the Hiccuos from Lincoln NE. Charlie passed away this week.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Goodnight, Irene" by "Gordon Jenkins And His Orch... ...sometimes a great notion...
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Scott. Yep...sorry, I have a theme today. I knew Charlie.
	12:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "Goodnight, Irene" by "Gordon Jenkins And His Orch... The Weavers with Gordon Jenkins were their "Dylan goes Electric" moment. Too bad Seeger didn't recognize that.
	12:21pm Marie in Chicago: Hey UM, hey All! I just remembered as I was listening to that song, that I used to play Good Night Irene on my electric organ when I was kid. @) The instructive tunes that came with the organ were pretty old and classic.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Another Man Done Gone" by "Odetta" ...& they're still killing them...
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:23pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Waterboy" by "Harry Belafonte" Man, RIP, Harry. I learned much about U.S. history just from one of his LPs. I still have it: "Ballads, Blues, Boasters." '64. Best version of "Pastures of Plenty" I've heard.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Waterboy" by "Harry Belafonte" Belafonte may have presented a (relatively) slickly Produced version of 'Folk' - but he always Brought It. & of course - Walked it irl.
	12:27pm Roberto: Folk almost brolk
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a scare about the authentic sourcing of the term 'Folk Scare'...
	12:33pm StringOFperils: Martin Mull also invented smooth jazz torture
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Banana Boat Song" by "The Tarriers" Alan Arkin singing lead...and with the writing credit.
	12:33pm rw: I met Martin Mull once many years ago. I can’t remember ever feeling more star struck.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:33 Wow ...of course, then representing Leftist championing of Caribbean culture ...now sounds like grotesque caricature appropriation... Or - it would...
	12:35pm TDK60: Some of those Scary Folks are still around pickin' -Judy Collins, Tom Rush, etc.
	12:35pm Artie: Between Beetlejuice and Uncle Michael, Harry Belafonte will be rolling in royalty cabbage. (Assuming Harry actually has rights on what is an adapted folk song.)
	12:35pm wenzo: Howdee howdee
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Hi UM and Drummer Shoppers!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Artie! wenzo!
	12:36pm WR: Jesse Jarnow's book about the Weavers: "Wasn't that a Time" is a good read with lots detail and context.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ WR @12:36 Somehow I was unaware of this book.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927 - April 25, 2023 ...perhaps now regaling Beetlejuice himself over there in how things went down...
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have yet to get my hands on any of Jarnow's tomes to (I'm presuming) greedily devour...
	12:42pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Waltzing Matilda" by "Jimmie Rodgers With Hugo Pe... Are we sure those were the originally intended lyrics and title? I think it was originally "We'll all sing, Matilda" and then somebody heard it wrong.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Listener Robert @12:42 The song (originally a poem) was written by Australian poet, Banjo Paterson.
	12:44pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" They might epitomize the slick sound Revrab noted. Maybe the slick period was from '59-'63? It changed maybe with the likes of Phil Ochs and Bob D. Interesting: Dylan said he digs the Kingston Trio.
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Robert @12:42 Very interesting.
	12:47pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" So I remember in the 1970s, my mom familiar with some Linda Ronstadt songs and other songs on the radio because the Kingston Trio recorded those songs 10+ years earlier.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:49pm WR: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:43 from Banjo Paterson wikipedia page: "In 1895, Paterson headed north to Dagworth station near Winton, Queensland. Travelling with fiancée, Sarah Riley, they met with her old school friend, Christina Macpherson, who had recently attended a race at Warrnambool in Victoria. She had heard a band playing a tune there, which became stuck in her head and replayed it for Paterson on the autoharp. The melody also resonated with him and propelled him to write "Waltzing Matilda" While there has been much debate about what inspired the words, the song became one of his most widely known and sung ballads."
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Song: "Never Did No Wanderin'" by "New Main Street Singers" Love this. Thanks for playing it, Uncle Michael. Hi everybody! Hi UM!
	12:54pm TDK60: It seems like Peter, Paul & Mary followed in popularity the K. Trio. But I don't know the record sales stuff.
	12:54pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Never Did No Wanderin'" by "The Folksmen" Spinal Folk!
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: I've never seen "A Mighty Wind." A gem to look forward to. I love the feet facing the same direction gag. I think it was also used in a Pink Panther movie.
	12:55pm Alex In Downers Grove: If you look at the Kingston Trio's old album cover photos, they show as having short hair and just looking so clean-cut and not hippy-like at all. These days, when they perform, at least one member has long white hair, sometimes braided.
	12:56pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:54 I think also in some of Monty Python's oeuvre...
	12:57pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Around The World Medley" by "The Weavers" Seeger was no slouch on banjo.
	12:58pm Andres: Good afternoon, Uncle Michael and all. Mention of the Kingston Trio got me thinking of all the folk acts that got on the stage at the Gaslight Cafe on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. It was a coffeehouse after all.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	1:00pm Andres: And now I’m wondering if The Smothers Brothers were a folk act as much as a comedy duo.
	1:00pm Marie in Chicago: I never knew there was a desire for more "thoughtful" or complex (?) music that spurred the folk elevation in the 60s/50s. I bet it was also kind of a "bourgeois" kind of impetus too
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BobDylan stands mercurially (indeed like ☿Mercury the Lord of Verbal Communications Himself) @ the very transitional Center - like a Christ dividing the Timeline into Before & After - both representing all of the ancestral Tradition of Folk Music to so many ...& possibly Ending it - as the very apotheosis & archetypal icon of the self-contained Composer of his own Material as Songwriter - indeed as perpetually transfiguring & self-creating Identity Artist...
	1:03pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Greenfields" by "The Brothers Four" This also on the list of songs I'd like to practice with a few other voices then break it out at a campfire or casual party. Quelle surprise.
	1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Beatles, Dylan ...JFK getting shot - & an entire Generation & Culture - Dropped Out from mainstream Political idealism in so many respects. Timmy Leary & the Drugs came along - & arguably the CIA & MK-Ultra, which some might posit was deliberate distraction from Political Activism into Consciousness Expansion...
	1:04pm adamdoesit: Hey UM and hinks of the dink. I have to replace my cell phone in an unplanned fashion. I've managed to stay off contract for 10 years, but I'm wondering whether it's time to give up and pay Big Brother V a low monthly fee. I welcome your hot takes.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	1:05pm rw: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" Ah. My favorite.
	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but still Civil Rights ...& the War Dragged On...
	1:06pm TDK60: There still is folk of various sorts (trad, protest, singersongwriter, freaky, etc.) going on here in NYC. Some young-uns doing interesting new things. And oldsters too.
	1:07pm rw: I’ve always thought of punk rock as folk music.
	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" Posit this was already a form of Folk self-parody - Humor intrinsic in the form & culture itself...
	1:07pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" So why doesn't his wife include some money in the package with the sandwich?
	1:10pm still b/p: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @1:07 Put the sandwich on pumperNICKEL?
	1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @1:00 Smothers were both Music & Comedy on the Folk Circuit no ? All aspects of Performance in front of any bunch of schmucks anywhere pretty much...
	1:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @1:07 ...that's against the Rules...
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: The Smothers boys recorded their best albums in folk clubs.
	1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ still b/p @1:10 ...aha !...
	1:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyTimers! I am just old enough to remember the folk craze. I love the music but it's little bittersweet. When I see the reconstructed groups on PBS (Shilling time!) pledge drives, it tears my heart. Of course, I still watch it.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:14pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:04 Revrab _ I don't agree with the idea that a whole generation dropped idealism. Not my reading.
	1:15pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ adamdoesit @1:04 I have no contract, 51 bucks a month. Just saw an ad with a super-rich megastar for some kind of very cheap service (and I thought, "why? why do that ad when you don't need to?")
	1:15pm still b/p: Even today sometimes, when I hear the Kingston Trio song on the radio with the line, "And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar," the "damn" is cut out.
	1:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:15 Heh, indeed.
	1:17pm Marie in Chicago: I never really got into popular folk but I listened to the songs fully when I was a kid (as one does) when exposed
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:13 It's kind of strange how by the end of the 1960s a whole relation to this Music & Culture had been thoroughly shook up & deconstructed in so many ways... I see the 1960s as the Polarity of Innocence & Experience (nodding to Blake) ...both the thrill & the trauma of the transition in most areas... 'Pet Sounds' for example as one precise pivot point...
	1:18pm Marie in Chicago: I love good ole bluegrass and older Irish and English folk-y tunes
	1:21pm Marie in Chicago: live acoustic instruments are so vibrant, it's kinda mahvelous
	1:21pm Will in Norman: if i had a hammer...
	1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @1:14 Yeah too simple a reduction really. In another sense - the Idealism stepped up a quantum level from Politics to Universal Utopianism itself with LSD & all that... What people Dropped Out of was trying to recalibrate the mainstream System. As Tom Hayden I think noted - they thot early on that if they just tried to raise the awareness of the Establishment regarding Ethics & Justice - they'd see the light & change. As the decade progressed - they learned otherwise...
	1:23pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ still b/p @12:04 No Guilty Pleasures Zone!
	1:23pm sinner: Are you going to play “Call Me Mr. Rooty-Poot?”
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: ↳ sinner @1:23 If you write and record it, I'll play it. sinner!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Will!
	1:24pm egould: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:15 That super rich megastar actually was the owner of that cell service. Looks like he sold to T Mobile for $1.3B. I guess T Mobile wanted to keep him on as a spokesperson.
	1:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:22 - or, they Dropped Out of thinking they should recalibrate the Establishment from within...
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" DVR, the Mayor.
	1:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" Love Dave Van Ronk-got to see him in some Greenwich Village club many years ago.
	1:27pm TDK60: Dave V R sang this at Phil Ochs' memorial.
	1:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" Not quite as gravel throated as he ueually was.
	1:28pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" So strong. Always Bringing It.
	1:29pm spodiodi: Greetings, UM and Hinky Dinky Time shoppers!
	1:29pm Marie in Chicago: All this music, I just thought, might kind of indicate larger feelings of self pity among the baby boomers, which maybe they used to justify becoming hard core materialists in the 80s?
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	1:31pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:29 Hi Marie: Frankly, this sounds like a stereotypical meme.
	1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Course - if you rilly wanna harsh yer feelings about the Folk Scene for a good while - forget 'Mighty Wind' & watch 'Inside Llewyn Davis'.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:32 Maybe I should queue up A Mighty Wind for right after I watch Inside Llewyn Davis.
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:29 Well - George Carlin put it as Murikan Society lost its Soul in the 'Nam era - & thot it would concentrate on the Body instead afterwards...
	1:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Morning Dew" by "Bonnie Dobson" Got a bit of that Buffy St Marie tight/fast vibrato (which generally makes me crazy)
	1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:33 Might be better sequencing for maintaining both emotional health - & relating to this Music without cringe...
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @1:31 oh, do you mean what I said sounds like a meme? I must say, I'm not really knowledgeable about memes, current or past. It's an idea, a general cultural idea of mine that I just thought for the first time.
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @1:34 - or Queen Joan, surely. That bell-like somewhat Operatic voce...
	1:37pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "I Gave My Love a Cherry" by "Sonny James" toga! toga!
	1:37pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:34 huh, interesting. He was so sharp.
	1:38pm Mxter Baba: Boneless chickens unite!
	1:38pm rw: Seems like Bonnie Dobson’s voice was too much for my kids in the other room. I just heard them turn off the radio and put on Sweet City Woman.
	1:38pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:38 ha ha ha!
	1:38pm Mxter Baba: omx this is totally my summer camp songbook playlist!
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: winston! Baba! Nuggets!
	1:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:38 ;- )
	1:39pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Marie, That's fine. I do feel there's a certain flattening out and caricaturing of history sometimes on the comment board.
	1:39pm ScottinDenver: I had no idea that was an actual song.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Just tuned into this folk music "extravaganza," Uncle Michael. Sounds so good! I think my first experience with this genre was the TV program, "Hootenanny." Wasn't Art Linkletter's son, Jack, one of the hosts? I can remember acts like Theo Bikel, Peter, Paul and Mary, and, of course, the Kingston Trio.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...collection of obscure great Chickin-themed rekkerds - Chickin Nuggets.
	1:40pm winston legthigh: uncle michaelkins, mxter babakins, trini lopez, what a treat!
	1:41pm Mxter Baba: ↳ doctorjazz @1:39 rubber chicken? I ‘ardly KNOW ‘er!
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being born Nov. 1963 (about exactly when the term 'Beatlemania' was coined) ...I've seen a notably different relation to this Music & Scene in people even just a few years older than me. (Maybe ...right here & now...) & ...in people later than me too...
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:41 ...eggsactly...
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" by "The Spring... Didn't realize this was an old tune (relatively) "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" is a country song written by Dick Reynolds and Jack Rhodes.[1] It was first recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956. The original lyrics, as performed by Jackson, contain a verse not usually included in later versions, which also often differed in other minor details.
	1:42pm Mxter Baba: Shouting out to Harry Smith for his contribution to this here folk revival!
	1:42pm TDK60: Speaking of "Nuggets" and Lenny Kaye DJing on WFMU yesterday [!], see Kaye's anthology of '60s folk from '84: "Bleecker and MacDougal - The Folk Scene of the 1960s."
	1:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" by "The Spring... Ah Dusty.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ TDK60 @1:42 Didn't catch all of it, but it was a great show!
	1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Walk Right In" by "The Rooftop Singers" ...some Beat Jazz (& their Jazz cigarettes) creeping in here I like to think...
	1:44pm TDK60: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:42 Hola Mxter B.
	1:45pm Mxter Baba: wait, what’s with this avatar toggling action??! some fancy new feature??
	1:45pm Mxter Baba: ↳ TDK60 @1:44 hey there, TDK60kins!
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:45 Avatars are gone (in prep for the Hellraiser, need to reearn them...
	1:46pm Gerry from Miami: "Walk Right In" was the first time I can recall hearing a 12-string acoustic guitar. An aural revelation! This song was TOP TEN on the AM rocker here in south Florida when I was in high school.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:45 I've had this feature for YEARS!
	1:47pm Mxter Baba: ↳ doctorjazz @1:46 well, whatever the images on our profiles are—they are toggling as I pass my cursor over them…or maybe it’s a flower child flashback!
	1:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:46 Same, love that 12 string sound on it!
	1:47pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Walk Right In" by "The Rooftop Singers" A Top-10 hit for Vanguard Records, hee.
	1:47pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @1:39 Yeah, well, what do you expect on a comment board? A treatise?
	🛒 1:48pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:45 no I see it now too, hilarious🤣
	1:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:47 I think that has existed, don't usually check on it.
	1:48pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Michael C St Lou @1:48 this is new, right??
	🛒 1:50pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:48 never noticed b4
	1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Lizzie Borden" by "The Chad Mitchell Trio" ...Tom Lehrer in this tradition sort of. Yeah ? Speaking of cohabiting with Comedy in those venues. Crossover with the 'new Sick Comics' as they called it then...
	1:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Mxter Baba @1:48 It's been around for maybe a year? Sometimes it works for me, sometimes not. I attributed it to the Power of Jambi.
	1:51pm Mxter Baba: ↳ adamdoesit @1:51 Your wish is granted!
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Dance Boatman Dance" by "The Smothers Brothers" Reckon Firesign Theatre was informed by things like this... Not sure the Smothers are entirely remembered for it by now...
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: The flippy avatars are unique to Hinky Dinky Time and they've been his way for years.
	1:53pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "Dance Boatman Dance" by "The Smothers Brothers" Purple Onion! I used to go there when it was run by Tom Guido. Wild times down below!
	1:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal" by "Allan Sherman" Had all these Allan Sherman albums (mom loved them). Hello Muddah!
	1:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal" by "Allan Sherman" Now we're gettin' to the real deal!
	1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal" by "Allan Sherman" A pair of aluminum pants ! Haha...
	1:57pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal" by "Allan Sherman" Greenwich Village meets Borst Belt.
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M
	1:59pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:47 Marie, no, just getting into the more complex than blanket statements.
	1:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:56 Think Weird Al might have been inspired by Mr Sherman.
	2:00pm Will in Norman: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:59 he certainly was. he was frequently featured on the Dr. Demento show
	2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:59 I'd guess he was-and Spike Jones, Mickey Katz came a bit before Sherman.
	2:05pm Mxter Baba: ↳ doctorjazz @2:02 And Red Ingle!
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	2:06pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Green, Green" by "The New Christy Minstrels Under... Along with Walk Right In this is my other fave smash hit. Great song!
	2:07pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Greenback Dollar" by "The Kingston Trio" That word! My ears!
	2:07pm coelacanth∅: was McGuire in the christy minstrels?
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 yes
	2:08pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @1:59 I don't appreciate your criticism; I think it is misguided here, and I would love it if you would keep them to yourself as far as I am concerned.
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: i never noticed his voice in them before
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Green, Green" by "The New Christy Minstrels Under... This is like a Rawksong & arrangement - as if the Drums & Bass were there but just left out of the Mix...
	2:11pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:08 Marie, I was talking about a general thing I've noticed at WFMU. Not you. I'll still keep giving my opinion unless the DJ says halt.
	2:12pm BenZ WPB: This show is right on time. David Browne just released a new book “Talking Greenwich Village”. I’m 65 pages on and it is shaping up nicely. Heavy on the Dave Von Ron’s so far
	2:13pm PAULS: Barry McGuire -- still with us at 88! And RIP, The Electric Flag's Nick Gravenites, dead at 85.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @2:11 I'm not weighing in. "I wanna be your lover. I don't wanna be your boss."
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: BenZ!
	2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 Another thing seems funny to me ...all kindsa people became prominent in sort of FolkRawk or Pop - had earlier histories just a few years before in this Folk Movement ...& you like never hear about it - much less hear the material ! As tho it had become embarrassing - or just general disinterest I suppose...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: ↳ PAULS @2:13 Nick was heard here on last week's show.
	2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:14 ...today being some remedy perhaps...

	2:17pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @2:11 Yeah, well it was a comment on something I posted. Do you think that was a nice thing to do? Do you really think a chat board is a place for fine intellectual distinctions? I'm exercising a lot of self-restraint here but I will say it again, please don't ever comment on anything I say anymore, whether positively or negatively. I don't appreciate it or want to know what you think.
	2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ winston legthigh @2:16 ...Innocence ~ Experience...
	2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in real time even maybe...
	2:18pm coelacanth: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:14 oh yes, it's true... and usually a good thing, for me at least, that i never hear their earlier "folk" material! ...but regarding the christy minstrels, i was just surprised because i have heard a few of their albums (3?) and never took note of McGuire's voice.
	2:19pm rw: There’s gonna be a little Hinky Dinky… You get the girls, I’ll bring the car...
	2:19pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Hootenanny" by "The Glencoves" Well, later I'll be checking out It's Sister Ginny's Turn To Throw The Bomb.

	2:27pm Pedro in Arlington: Buddy Holly's last home was a fine apartment complex just north of Washington Square Park. It's still there. I wonder if he ever went down to the park and met up with some early folkie revival types.
	2:28pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Ask Not Waltz" by "Hank Levine" Is this the b-side of "The Trumpet Summons Us Again"?
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:26 here's to NOT suffering through that. i recall in Ray Davies' ("unauthorized"!) autobiography when JFK got murdered how everyone in his world was Shocked and disgusted at, generally, what was going on in the u.s.

	2:56pm Alex In Downers Grove: Some of these, I have heard previously, but not for decades. This show could be a mid-20th century folk music primer to introduce this music to young-uns.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 20, 2024

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.

	12:01pm βrian: Rooty-poots are on sale now at the Hinky Dink.
	12:02pm bradford: Hey there Uncle Michael & all!
	12:02pm Listener Robert: Somebody just got off a riding mower across the street that someone else was driving and is coming toward your door. Aw, when you switched to the inside cam and you were already there you dashed my hope that that was the show opening I've been hoping for.
	🛒 12:03pm Michael C St Lou: yes, and I promise not to bring a rose with no thorns
	12:03pm (Mr) Bill: Belushi for lunch. Good as it gets.
	12:04pm still b/p: How would you rate Animal House? I'd give it a 5. Is that heresy?

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: TDK!

	12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Show title 'the great Folk scare' referring - far as I know - to something Judy Collins referred to in terms of people getting uptight in the early~mid 1960s whether various things were Authentic Folk or getting a little too Popularized or Commercial what have you...
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: KWilde! rw!
	12:13pm Roberto: Whoops, almost forgot to Hink my Dink!
	12:13pm WR: Hi Uncle Michael. Somehow, (perhaps the similarity of Mac McClintock's name) this has reminded that I bought the Mack McCormick "Playing for the Man at the Door" comp a month or so ago but haven't listened to it much.
	12:13pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Hi Revrabbit. I recall it being a quip of Dave Van Ronk, a few years after the early-mid-'60s.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! WR!
	12:14pm Pedro in Arlington: Was once on the National Mall for the annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival and I watched a skinny older guy walking around, stooping to pick up bits of trash that people had tossed. He put those in his pocket and kept walking until he met up with his wife. It was Pete Seeger, American saint.
	12:14pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "The Hammer Song" by "The Weavers" Sang this in Catholic school masses. Slightly odd fit.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @12:13 Aha. Judy referring to Ronk mayhaps.
	12:16pm Alvy Singer: Hey UM!!
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:14 The real thing.
	12:17pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:16 Rev: I don't know but they might've been pals. I was down in Ronk territory last night. Positively 4th St. & Sheridan Square.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:17pm DjLorraine: My Grandmother was named Irene🥰
	12:17pm ScottinDenver: Not sure if you have a theme today but it would be nice to hear a little Charlie Burton and the Hiccuos from Lincoln NE. Charlie passed away this week.
	12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Goodnight, Irene" by "Gordon Jenkins And His Orch... ...sometimes a great notion...
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Scott. Yep...sorry, I have a theme today. I knew Charlie.
	12:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "Goodnight, Irene" by "Gordon Jenkins And His Orch... The Weavers with Gordon Jenkins were their "Dylan goes Electric" moment. Too bad Seeger didn't recognize that.
	12:21pm Marie in Chicago: Hey UM, hey All! I just remembered as I was listening to that song, that I used to play Good Night Irene on my electric organ when I was kid. @) The instructive tunes that came with the organ were pretty old and classic.
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Another Man Done Gone" by "Odetta" ...& they're still killing them...
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:23pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Waterboy" by "Harry Belafonte" Man, RIP, Harry. I learned much about U.S. history just from one of his LPs. I still have it: "Ballads, Blues, Boasters." '64. Best version of "Pastures of Plenty" I've heard.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Waterboy" by "Harry Belafonte" Belafonte may have presented a (relatively) slickly Produced version of 'Folk' - but he always Brought It. & of course - Walked it irl.
	12:27pm Roberto: Folk almost brolk
	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a scare about the authentic sourcing of the term 'Folk Scare'...

	12:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Banana Boat Song" by "The Tarriers" Alan Arkin singing lead...and with the writing credit.

	12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:33 Wow ...of course, then representing Leftist championing of Caribbean culture ...now sounds like grotesque caricature appropriation... Or - it would...
	12:35pm TDK60: Some of those Scary Folks are still around pickin' -Judy Collins, Tom Rush, etc.
	12:35pm Artie: Between Beetlejuice and Uncle Michael, Harry Belafonte will be rolling in royalty cabbage. (Assuming Harry actually has rights on what is an adapted folk song.)
	12:35pm wenzo: Howdee howdee
	12:36pm doctorjazz: Hi UM and Drummer Shoppers!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Artie! wenzo!
	12:36pm WR: Jesse Jarnow's book about the Weavers: "Wasn't that a Time" is a good read with lots detail and context.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ WR @12:36 Somehow I was unaware of this book.
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.; March 1, 1927 - April 25, 2023 ...perhaps now regaling Beetlejuice himself over there in how things went down...
	12:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have yet to get my hands on any of Jarnow's tomes to (I'm presuming) greedily devour...
	12:42pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Waltzing Matilda" by "Jimmie Rodgers With Hugo Pe... Are we sure those were the originally intended lyrics and title? I think it was originally "We'll all sing, Matilda" and then somebody heard it wrong.
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Listener Robert @12:42 The song (originally a poem) was written by Australian poet, Banjo Paterson.
	12:44pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" They might epitomize the slick sound Revrab noted. Maybe the slick period was from '59-'63? It changed maybe with the likes of Phil Ochs and Bob D. Interesting: Dylan said he digs the Kingston Trio.
	12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Robert @12:42 Very interesting.
	12:47pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "Tom Dooley" by "The Kingston Trio" So I remember in the 1970s, my mom familiar with some Linda Ronstadt songs and other songs on the radio because the Kingston Trio recorded those songs 10+ years earlier.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:49pm WR: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:43 from Banjo Paterson wikipedia page: "In 1895, Paterson headed north to Dagworth station near Winton, Queensland. Travelling with fiancée, Sarah Riley, they met with her old school friend, Christina Macpherson, who had recently attended a race at Warrnambool in Victoria. She had heard a band playing a tune there, which became stuck in her head and replayed it for Paterson on the autoharp. The melody also resonated with him and propelled him to write "Waltzing Matilda" While there has been much debate about what inspired the words, the song became one of his most widely known and sung ballads."
	12:49pm egould: ↳ Song: "Never Did No Wanderin'" by "New Main Street Singers" Love this. Thanks for playing it, Uncle Michael. Hi everybody! Hi UM!
	12:54pm TDK60: It seems like Peter, Paul & Mary followed in popularity the K. Trio. But I don't know the record sales stuff.
	12:54pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Never Did No Wanderin'" by "The Folksmen" Spinal Folk!
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: I've never seen "A Mighty Wind." A gem to look forward to. I love the feet facing the same direction gag. I think it was also used in a Pink Panther movie.
	12:55pm Alex In Downers Grove: If you look at the Kingston Trio's old album cover photos, they show as having short hair and just looking so clean-cut and not hippy-like at all. These days, when they perform, at least one member has long white hair, sometimes braided.
	12:56pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:54 I think also in some of Monty Python's oeuvre...
	12:57pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Around The World Medley" by "The Weavers" Seeger was no slouch on banjo.
	12:58pm Andres: Good afternoon, Uncle Michael and all. Mention of the Kingston Trio got me thinking of all the folk acts that got on the stage at the Gaslight Cafe on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. It was a coffeehouse after all.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	1:00pm Andres: And now I’m wondering if The Smothers Brothers were a folk act as much as a comedy duo.
	1:00pm Marie in Chicago: I never knew there was a desire for more "thoughtful" or complex (?) music that spurred the folk elevation in the 60s/50s. I bet it was also kind of a "bourgeois" kind of impetus too
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BobDylan stands mercurially (indeed like ☿Mercury the Lord of Verbal Communications Himself) @ the very transitional Center - like a Christ dividing the Timeline into Before & After - both representing all of the ancestral Tradition of Folk Music to so many ...& possibly Ending it - as the very apotheosis & archetypal icon of the self-contained Composer of his own Material as Songwriter - indeed as perpetually transfiguring & self-creating Identity Artist...
	1:03pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Greenfields" by "The Brothers Four" This also on the list of songs I'd like to practice with a few other voices then break it out at a campfire or casual party. Quelle surprise.
	1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Beatles, Dylan ...JFK getting shot - & an entire Generation & Culture - Dropped Out from mainstream Political idealism in so many respects. Timmy Leary & the Drugs came along - & arguably the CIA & MK-Ultra, which some might posit was deliberate distraction from Political Activism into Consciousness Expansion...
	1:04pm adamdoesit: Hey UM and hinks of the dink. I have to replace my cell phone in an unplanned fashion. I've managed to stay off contract for 10 years, but I'm wondering whether it's time to give up and pay Big Brother V a low monthly fee. I welcome your hot takes.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	1:05pm rw: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" Ah. My favorite.
	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but still Civil Rights ...& the War Dragged On...
	1:06pm TDK60: There still is folk of various sorts (trad, protest, singersongwriter, freaky, etc.) going on here in NYC. Some young-uns doing interesting new things. And oldsters too.
	1:07pm rw: I’ve always thought of punk rock as folk music.
	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" Posit this was already a form of Folk self-parody - Humor intrinsic in the form & culture itself...
	1:07pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Song: "M.T.A." by "The Kingston Trio" So why doesn't his wife include some money in the package with the sandwich?
	1:10pm still b/p: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @1:07 Put the sandwich on pumperNICKEL?
	1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @1:00 Smothers were both Music & Comedy on the Folk Circuit no ? All aspects of Performance in front of any bunch of schmucks anywhere pretty much...
	1:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @1:07 ...that's against the Rules...
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: The Smothers boys recorded their best albums in folk clubs.
	1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ still b/p @1:10 ...aha !...
	1:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyTimers! I am just old enough to remember the folk craze. I love the music but it's little bittersweet. When I see the reconstructed groups on PBS (Shilling time!) pledge drives, it tears my heart. Of course, I still watch it.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:14pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:04 Revrab _ I don't agree with the idea that a whole generation dropped idealism. Not my reading.
	1:15pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ adamdoesit @1:04 I have no contract, 51 bucks a month. Just saw an ad with a super-rich megastar for some kind of very cheap service (and I thought, "why? why do that ad when you don't need to?")
	1:15pm still b/p: Even today sometimes, when I hear the Kingston Trio song on the radio with the line, "And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar," the "damn" is cut out.
	1:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:15 Heh, indeed.
	1:17pm Marie in Chicago: I never really got into popular folk but I listened to the songs fully when I was a kid (as one does) when exposed
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ KevinfromBayRidge @1:13 It's kind of strange how by the end of the 1960s a whole relation to this Music & Culture had been thoroughly shook up & deconstructed in so many ways... I see the 1960s as the Polarity of Innocence & Experience (nodding to Blake) ...both the thrill & the trauma of the transition in most areas... 'Pet Sounds' for example as one precise pivot point...
	1:18pm Marie in Chicago: I love good ole bluegrass and older Irish and English folk-y tunes
	1:21pm Marie in Chicago: live acoustic instruments are so vibrant, it's kinda mahvelous
	1:21pm Will in Norman: if i had a hammer...
	1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @1:14 Yeah too simple a reduction really. In another sense - the Idealism stepped up a quantum level from Politics to Universal Utopianism itself with LSD & all that... What people Dropped Out of was trying to recalibrate the mainstream System. As Tom Hayden I think noted - they thot early on that if they just tried to raise the awareness of the Establishment regarding Ethics & Justice - they'd see the light & change. As the decade progressed - they learned otherwise...

	1:24pm egould: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:15 That super rich megastar actually was the owner of that cell service. Looks like he sold to T Mobile for $1.3B. I guess T Mobile wanted to keep him on as a spokesperson.
	1:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:22 - or, they Dropped Out of thinking they should recalibrate the Establishment from within...

	1:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" Love Dave Van Ronk-got to see him in some Greenwich Village club many years ago.
	1:27pm TDK60: Dave V R sang this at Phil Ochs' memorial.
	1:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" Not quite as gravel throated as he ueually was.
	1:28pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "He Was A Friend Of Mine" by "Dave Van Ronk" So strong. Always Bringing It.
	1:29pm spodiodi: Greetings, UM and Hinky Dinky Time shoppers!
	1:29pm Marie in Chicago: All this music, I just thought, might kind of indicate larger feelings of self pity among the baby boomers, which maybe they used to justify becoming hard core materialists in the 80s?
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	1:31pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:29 Hi Marie: Frankly, this sounds like a stereotypical meme.
	1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Course - if you rilly wanna harsh yer feelings about the Folk Scene for a good while - forget 'Mighty Wind' & watch 'Inside Llewyn Davis'.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:32 Maybe I should queue up A Mighty Wind for right after I watch Inside Llewyn Davis.
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:29 Well - George Carlin put it as Murikan Society lost its Soul in the 'Nam era - & thot it would concentrate on the Body instead afterwards...
	1:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Morning Dew" by "Bonnie Dobson" Got a bit of that Buffy St Marie tight/fast vibrato (which generally makes me crazy)
	1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:33 Might be better sequencing for maintaining both emotional health - & relating to this Music without cringe...
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ TDK60 @1:31 oh, do you mean what I said sounds like a meme? I must say, I'm not really knowledgeable about memes, current or past. It's an idea, a general cultural idea of mine that I just thought for the first time.
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @1:34 - or Queen Joan, surely. That bell-like somewhat Operatic voce...

	1:39pm TDK60: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Marie, That's fine. I do feel there's a certain flattening out and caricaturing of history sometimes on the comment board.
	1:39pm ScottinDenver: I had no idea that was an actual song.
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Just tuned into this folk music "extravaganza," Uncle Michael. Sounds so good! I think my first experience with this genre was the TV program, "Hootenanny." Wasn't Art Linkletter's son, Jack, one of the hosts? I can remember acts like Theo Bikel, Peter, Paul and Mary, and, of course, the Kingston Trio.

Didn't realize this was an old tune (relatively) "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" is a country song written by Dick Reynolds and Jack Rhodes.[1] It was first recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956. The original lyrics, as performed by Jackson, contain a verse not usually included in later versions, which also often differed in other minor details.
