	2:28pm Woo: Was this Townsmen song a hit? It should have been. Hey LesleyK.
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: "Do the Mouse, yeah! Do it in your house, yeah!" I go a long way back with Soupy. Used to watch "Eat Your Lunch with Soupy Sales" on Saturdays at noon in Boston when I was in 3rd grade. And didn't his sons grow up to be two-thirds of Davud Bowie's Tin Machine?
	2:29pm LesleyK: Thanks Mom Whig! Was out on my bike in this 100 degree weather. Dumb idea
	2:29pm Dennis Diken: thanks so much MOM WHIG! hey LesleyK! @Woo - I don't think the Townsmen cut was a hit, alas
	2:30pm LesleyK: Hi woo!
	2:30pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - are you trying to get heat-stroke! DRINK TONS to re-hydrate then :)
	2:30pm Gerry from Miami: MOM WHIG, rain is keeping the temps down in the mid-80s.
	2:31pm LesleyK: Had to pick up something for my doggie...staying hydrated though :)
	2:32pm Woo: I didn't get an album for my First Holy Communion but I did get More of the Monkees when I got my tonsils out.
	2:33pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, both Patti Page and Mary Ford were pioneers of having their voices multutracked.
	2:34pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - yeah, also got Golden Hits of The Four Season same time! @Gerry from Miami - right you are!
	2:34pm LesleyK: I don't think I heard this episode yet...so it's new to me!
	2:36pm Hoboken Jack: hello Dennis, Andrew, Mom Whig, all! Loving the cool tunes on this brutal day!
	2:36pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - jolly good! hopefully that's true for other listeners today too! so glad you're all hanging out!! KEEP COOL!!
	2:36pm Gerry from Miami: I fondly remember my First Holy Communion because they had apple butter sandwiches and milk after the ceremony. A lot tastier than the sacramental host!
	2:37pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here too Hoboken Jack - cool tunes!
	2:38pm davefromtoronto: thurston howell the 3rd approves! lovey!!!
	2:38pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - another Catholic with memories!!
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: To tell you the honest truth, Denny, the only reason I joined Cub Scouts in that same time period was the cookies, cupcakes and muffins that the den mothers brought to the meetings. Yum! What a chow hound I was!
	2:45pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - now you joined "another Den -- Denny's" must be fate!
	2:45pm Dennis Diken: @davefromtoronto - welcome! @Gerry from Miami - sounds reasonable to me! hey Hoboken Jack! can't seem to escape you of late - "not that there's anything wrong about that."
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, I actually went to Catholic school from grades one through three. Some of those nuns were really mean but my memory of that time is pretty fuzzy. All I know is that when I transferred to public school in fourth grade, I could read and spell like a champ. Those ladies in black and white did a super job!
	2:50pm Mike Conroy: Hey y'all. (I am in ATL for a while.)
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - I did 5th-thru 8th grade -- and it taught me tons - that to this day 60 plus years later I am thankful for the education back then. I do really well on Jeopardy. Public schools there after for sure. I know how to do diagrams with rockets for verbs, pronouns, adjectives on them! A valuable lesson.
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there MOM WHIG!
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - funny finding you here too
	2:51pm Woo: I did 12 years of Catholic school-elementary and high school. I stayed out of trouble but I saw some things. I have holy cards from when I won spelling bees.
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: So, do you know Dave from Toronto - Andrew?
	2:52pm MOM WHIG: Woo - you too! Wow...we all have our memories - like I said at one time - my Mom's sister was a Nun in Pa. The Nursing kind.
	2:53pm Andrew in Toronto: I don`t believe I do.
	2:54pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - are you having the heat-wave there too? I just saw there a lot of Canadians are dead because of the heat.
	2:54pm Mike Conroy: Billy Bremner'is Rockfiles band is doing some US dates soon
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Dave Edmunds is so great! "I Hear You Knockin'" was one of the tunes that got me through my stint in Vietnam.
	2:55pm MOM WHIG: glad you made it here today Mike
	2:56pm Dennis Diken: I went to Catholic School for K & 1st then we moved to a different neighborhood in Carteret, NJ and my folks gave me the choice to continue there or change to the public school several blocks away - which I opted for. so glad I did, made some lifelong friends - and met a band mate!
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: hey Mike Conroy - "very interesting"!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: I was blessed with really cool teachers and a bright, witty, curious, talented bunch of kids to go through grammar and high school with
	3:01pm MOM WHIG: Denny I still have an old classmate from back then -- 5th grade to now. She's in Wash state. Her Mom drove the school bus (they had 8 kids) , we only had 6 kids. So, a lot of us knew the others all thru grammar school, and HS and later in life. Good to have that old connection.
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Denny love this song!!!
	3:03pm davefromtoronto: mom whig - we're playlist friends...
	3:04pm MOM WHIG: Dave for sure -- loving this CREAM one
	3:05pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - that's wonderful! there are memories of profound life experiences one can share only with such folks! glad you dig this Cream tune, I like it too!
	3:05pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, I have been watching Jeopardy since the late 60s, when the late Art Fleming was the host and the dollar values for the first-round questions were 10-20-30-40 and 50 bucks!! I lived in LA for 37 years, but never got around to taking the written test to become a Jeopardy contestant. A teacher friend of mine took it twice, scored well, but never got the callback. Could have been her 350-lb. weight was a turnoff to the producers.
	3:05pm LesleyK: I did catholic school from 6-8th gr. That was the worst. The nuns were mean and hated my hair .. I did Cath all girls hs..that was better than middle school but they hated my hair there too(too punk for them I guess, ha ha). Even though I was the best student .
	3:07pm LesleyK: My power just went out here 😭
	3:08pm Woo: I recently purchased a used cassette of Steppenwolf's Greatest Hits so I've been driving around town listening to that at somewhat high volume. Buy all the guns at once and explode into space! Oh Mars Bonfire.
	3:08pm Mike Conroy: Listened to Don Covay's version of Sookie yesterday!
	3:08pm Gerry from Miami: Was John Kay actually a refugee from the GDR(East Germany)?
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: - I sill do Jeopardy every night (even while on WFMU) - I have a good friend that we call each other at the Final Jeopardy answer. Still trying to get thru the Guest persons - since Alex is gone. You can still see Alex on Sat - there are repeats with him. Did you know he did Concentration too?? It's on the game channel daily here. He still has the dark hair and mustache.
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - oh boy, hope it comes back soon! re school - guess we all made it thru OK...I guess?
	3:11pm MOM WHIG: Denny - some still have battle scares! I was just talking to a good friend in Portland, Me - she lived here in VA all her life and also did all the grades at Catholic schools.
	3:11pm Woo: MOM WHIG I record Jeopardy daily and have a backlog to get through. Who do you like for new host? Nobody has been awful but I thought Aaron Rodgers did a surprisingly good job and I think Ken Jennings would be good.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: re Jeapordy! - our fellow Denizen spurn was a contestant earlier this year - and frikkin' kicked butt!!
	3:12pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, yes, Alex was a Concentration host after Hugh Downs moved on to other projects. It was one of several game shows he hosted during his long career.
	3:12pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I also like Mayim from Big Bang Theory show.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: I loved Concentration! and Hugh Downs (I have an LP by him!)
	3:13pm Woo: I just started the shows with Mayim. She's good.
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Dennis - Alex had a super personality on Concentration - he was in his 40's at that time-frame.
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Woo - you will like her. Dr. Sanji Gupta is this week's.
	3:14pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis. gotta sign out to save my phone battery. Thanks for the tunes!! .and yes sounds like we all made it out of catholic school ok. Ha ha
	3:15pm MOM WHIG: Lesley good luck
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - cool, not sure I ever saw it with AT. @LesleyK - good luck, indeed! try to stay cool
	3:18pm davefromtoronto: these guys are hip to be square!
	3:18pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - I see that tomorrow 7/1 is Canada Day-- is there some kind of celebration happening?
	3:19pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, are those rehearsal tapes for "It Won't Be Wrong" available? Also, this version of "It's No Use" sounds like an alternate take, but I could be wrong.
	3:20pm MOM WHIG: I think I have some Doris Day tunes here - and Perry Como too.
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: Doris track from the movie with James Garner -- it was funny!
	3:22pm Dennis Diken: @davefromtoronto - indeed! @Gerry from Miami - I pulled those session outtakes from YouTube and "It's No Use" from the Sony CD - maybe the stereo mix sounds different than the mono?
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: It was a re-make of an earlier Cary Grant movie!
	3:23pm Gerry from Miami: MOM and WOO, there has been a lot of scuttlebutt going around about a guest host for Jeopardy who hasn't even been on the air yet---Reading Rainbow emcee and Jordy Lafarge from Star Trek, Next Generation, Levar Burton
	3:24pm Woo: Raiders had Melody for an Unknown Girl and Little Girl in the 4th Row. Names eluded them.
	3:24pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, you are probably right about mono vs stereo.
	3:24pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - "to arms! to arms!"
	3:25pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - I'm pulling for Levar
	3:25pm Mike Conroy: There is some studio chatter chastising Michael Clarke on remastered CD, maybe same.
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yeah, it happens every time!
	3:26pm davefromtoronto: these guys could get sued by multiple song publishers!
	3:26pm MOM WHIG: The beginning of this song first few notes - sound like Little Old Lady from Pasadina
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - good ears!
	3:30pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, do you have the CD box set of "The Beatles in Mono?" I bought it on Amazon for a bargain $100 and found out that what I got was a Chinese fake. I was livid. Expert collector friends of mine said the price was a dead giveaway.
	3:32pm MOM WHIG: Gerry so sorry to hear that!
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - I got mine when it came out (the real thing). yeah, I hear the original goes for big dough. can you return it?
	3:35pm MOM WHIG: Breaking new on TV - Bill Crosby is free - and is home now - getting out of his car in PA.
	3:35pm Gerry from Miami: Pretty pop from the Bird and the Bee. Excellent.
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: I like the LP cover of bird and bee
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, I sold that Beatles box to someone who said it sounded good to him. Problem solved.
	3:42pm Gerry from Miami: How long was Cosby in the pokey? He's in his late 80s, isn't he?
	3:43pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - he served 2 of the ten years. He's now 83 and legally blind. I remember seeing him here in DC when he was just out of college. When he was doing the Noah comic routines
	3:45pm Mike Conroy: Voompa, voompa. What's a funny?
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Henry of The Pink Panther Theme
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - "good deal"
	3:46pm Mike Conroy: Cubit! Damn spell check!!!!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: I was a huge fan of Cosby's LPs when I was a kid. met him once. he was less than kind to me, alas.
	3:48pm Woo: Beau Brummelstones always sound great
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, Bradley's Barn and Triangle, both albums from the Beau Brummels, are two of my most prized records.
	3:50pm MOM WHIG: Dennis thanks again for being here for us all. I had the Crosby LP's too - still have one -with the Russell my Brother on is -- about jumping on the beds, etc.
	3:50pm Woo: Thanks for hanging out today Dennis!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: Woo - follow me later - see you whenever!
	3:51pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - no argument here!
	3:51pm Gerry from Miami: Great fun today, Denny.
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: "MY THANKS TO 'YON DENIZENS' FOR BEING IN THE DEN TODAY! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!"
	3:52pm MOM WHIG: Everyone stay COOL!
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: Stay cool in the heat, wherever you are!
	3:53pm Hoboken Jack: Will be loving these "new to me" repeats! Am also a regular Jeopardy person and am pulling for Jennings.
	3:54pm MOM WHIG: Hoboken - see you on Jeopardy tonight! I like Ken too.
	3:55pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another awesome show!!

	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: To tell you the honest truth, Denny, the only reason I joined Cub Scouts in that same time period was the cookies, cupcakes and muffins that the den mothers brought to the meetings. Yum! What a chow hound I was!
	2:45pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - now you joined "another Den -- Denny's" must be fate!
	2:45pm Dennis Diken: @davefromtoronto - welcome! @Gerry from Miami - sounds reasonable to me! hey Hoboken Jack! can't seem to escape you of late - "not that there's anything wrong about that."
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, I actually went to Catholic school from grades one through three. Some of those nuns were really mean but my memory of that time is pretty fuzzy. All I know is that when I transferred to public school in fourth grade, I could read and spell like a champ. Those ladies in black and white did a super job!
	2:50pm Mike Conroy: Hey y'all. (I am in ATL for a while.)
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - I did 5th-thru 8th grade -- and it taught me tons - that to this day 60 plus years later I am thankful for the education back then. I do really well on Jeopardy. Public schools there after for sure. I know how to do diagrams with rockets for verbs, pronouns, adjectives on them! A valuable lesson.
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there MOM WHIG!
	2:50pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - funny finding you here too
	2:51pm Woo: I did 12 years of Catholic school-elementary and high school. I stayed out of trouble but I saw some things. I have holy cards from when I won spelling bees.
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: So, do you know Dave from Toronto - Andrew?
	2:52pm MOM WHIG: Woo - you too! Wow...we all have our memories - like I said at one time - my Mom's sister was a Nun in Pa. The Nursing kind.
	2:53pm Andrew in Toronto: I don`t believe I do.
	2:54pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - are you having the heat-wave there too? I just saw there a lot of Canadians are dead because of the heat.
	2:54pm Mike Conroy: Billy Bremner'is Rockfiles band is doing some US dates soon
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Dave Edmunds is so great! "I Hear You Knockin'" was one of the tunes that got me through my stint in Vietnam.
	2:55pm MOM WHIG: glad you made it here today Mike
	2:56pm Dennis Diken: I went to Catholic School for K & 1st then we moved to a different neighborhood in Carteret, NJ and my folks gave me the choice to continue there or change to the public school several blocks away - which I opted for. so glad I did, made some lifelong friends - and met a band mate!
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: hey Mike Conroy - "very interesting"!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: I was blessed with really cool teachers and a bright, witty, curious, talented bunch of kids to go through grammar and high school with
	3:01pm MOM WHIG: Denny I still have an old classmate from back then -- 5th grade to now. She's in Wash state. Her Mom drove the school bus (they had 8 kids) , we only had 6 kids. So, a lot of us knew the others all thru grammar school, and HS and later in life. Good to have that old connection.
	3:03pm MOM WHIG: Denny love this song!!!
	3:03pm davefromtoronto: mom whig - we're playlist friends...
	3:04pm MOM WHIG: Dave for sure -- loving this CREAM one
	3:05pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - that's wonderful! there are memories of profound life experiences one can share only with such folks! glad you dig this Cream tune, I like it too!
	3:05pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, I have been watching Jeopardy since the late 60s, when the late Art Fleming was the host and the dollar values for the first-round questions were 10-20-30-40 and 50 bucks!! I lived in LA for 37 years, but never got around to taking the written test to become a Jeopardy contestant. A teacher friend of mine took it twice, scored well, but never got the callback. Could have been her 350-lb. weight was a turnoff to the producers.
	3:05pm LesleyK: I did catholic school from 6-8th gr. That was the worst. The nuns were mean and hated my hair .. I did Cath all girls hs..that was better than middle school but they hated my hair there too(too punk for them I guess, ha ha). Even though I was the best student .
	3:07pm LesleyK: My power just went out here 😭
	3:08pm Woo: I recently purchased a used cassette of Steppenwolf's Greatest Hits so I've been driving around town listening to that at somewhat high volume. Buy all the guns at once and explode into space! Oh Mars Bonfire.
	3:08pm Mike Conroy: Listened to Don Covay's version of Sookie yesterday!
	3:08pm Gerry from Miami: Was John Kay actually a refugee from the GDR(East Germany)?
	3:09pm MOM WHIG: - I sill do Jeopardy every night (even while on WFMU) - I have a good friend that we call each other at the Final Jeopardy answer. Still trying to get thru the Guest persons - since Alex is gone. You can still see Alex on Sat - there are repeats with him. Did you know he did Concentration too?? It's on the game channel daily here. He still has the dark hair and mustache.
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - oh boy, hope it comes back soon! re school - guess we all made it thru OK...I guess?
	3:11pm MOM WHIG: Denny - some still have battle scares! I was just talking to a good friend in Portland, Me - she lived here in VA all her life and also did all the grades at Catholic schools.
	3:11pm Woo: MOM WHIG I record Jeopardy daily and have a backlog to get through. Who do you like for new host? Nobody has been awful but I thought Aaron Rodgers did a surprisingly good job and I think Ken Jennings would be good.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: re Jeapordy! - our fellow Denizen spurn was a contestant earlier this year - and frikkin' kicked butt!!
	3:12pm Gerry from Miami: MOM, yes, Alex was a Concentration host after Hugh Downs moved on to other projects. It was one of several game shows he hosted during his long career.
	3:12pm MOM WHIG: Woo - I also like Mayim from Big Bang Theory show.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: I loved Concentration! and Hugh Downs (I have an LP by him!)
	3:13pm Woo: I just started the shows with Mayim. She's good.
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Dennis - Alex had a super personality on Concentration - he was in his 40's at that time-frame.
	3:14pm MOM WHIG: Woo - you will like her. Dr. Sanji Gupta is this week's.
	3:14pm LesleyK: Thanks Dennis. gotta sign out to save my phone battery. Thanks for the tunes!! .and yes sounds like we all made it out of catholic school ok. Ha ha
	3:15pm MOM WHIG: Lesley good luck
	3:15pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - cool, not sure I ever saw it with AT. @LesleyK - good luck, indeed! try to stay cool
	3:18pm davefromtoronto: these guys are hip to be square!
	3:18pm MOM WHIG: Andrew - I see that tomorrow 7/1 is Canada Day-- is there some kind of celebration happening?
	3:19pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, are those rehearsal tapes for "It Won't Be Wrong" available? Also, this version of "It's No Use" sounds like an alternate take, but I could be wrong.
	3:20pm MOM WHIG: I think I have some Doris Day tunes here - and Perry Como too.
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: Doris track from the movie with James Garner -- it was funny!
	3:22pm Dennis Diken: @davefromtoronto - indeed! @Gerry from Miami - I pulled those session outtakes from YouTube and "It's No Use" from the Sony CD - maybe the stereo mix sounds different than the mono?
	3:22pm MOM WHIG: It was a re-make of an earlier Cary Grant movie!
	3:23pm Gerry from Miami: MOM and WOO, there has been a lot of scuttlebutt going around about a guest host for Jeopardy who hasn't even been on the air yet---Reading Rainbow emcee and Jordy Lafarge from Star Trek, Next Generation, Levar Burton
	3:24pm Woo: Raiders had Melody for an Unknown Girl and Little Girl in the 4th Row. Names eluded them.
	3:24pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, you are probably right about mono vs stereo.
	3:24pm Dennis Diken: @Woo - "to arms! to arms!"
	3:25pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - I'm pulling for Levar
	3:25pm Mike Conroy: There is some studio chatter chastising Michael Clarke on remastered CD, maybe same.
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yeah, it happens every time!
	3:26pm davefromtoronto: these guys could get sued by multiple song publishers!
	3:26pm MOM WHIG: The beginning of this song first few notes - sound like Little Old Lady from Pasadina
	3:29pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - good ears!
	3:30pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, do you have the CD box set of "The Beatles in Mono?" I bought it on Amazon for a bargain $100 and found out that what I got was a Chinese fake. I was livid. Expert collector friends of mine said the price was a dead giveaway.
	3:32pm MOM WHIG: Gerry so sorry to hear that!
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - I got mine when it came out (the real thing). yeah, I hear the original goes for big dough. can you return it?
	3:35pm MOM WHIG: Breaking new on TV - Bill Crosby is free - and is home now - getting out of his car in PA.
	3:35pm Gerry from Miami: Pretty pop from the Bird and the Bee. Excellent.
	3:36pm MOM WHIG: I like the LP cover of bird and bee
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, I sold that Beatles box to someone who said it sounded good to him. Problem solved.
	3:42pm Gerry from Miami: How long was Cosby in the pokey? He's in his late 80s, isn't he?
	3:43pm MOM WHIG: Gerry - he served 2 of the ten years. He's now 83 and legally blind. I remember seeing him here in DC when he was just out of college. When he was doing the Noah comic routines
	3:45pm Mike Conroy: Voompa, voompa. What's a funny?
	3:45pm MOM WHIG: Henry of The Pink Panther Theme
	3:45pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - "good deal"
	3:46pm Mike Conroy: Cubit! Damn spell check!!!!
	3:46pm Dennis Diken: I was a huge fan of Cosby's LPs when I was a kid. met him once. he was less than kind to me, alas.
	3:48pm Woo: Beau Brummelstones always sound great
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, Bradley's Barn and Triangle, both albums from the Beau Brummels, are two of my most prized records.
	3:50pm MOM WHIG: Dennis thanks again for being here for us all. I had the Crosby LP's too - still have one -with the Russell my Brother on is -- about jumping on the beds, etc.
	3:50pm Woo: Thanks for hanging out today Dennis!
	3:51pm MOM WHIG: Woo - follow me later - see you whenever!
	3:51pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - no argument here!
	3:51pm Gerry from Miami: Great fun today, Denny.
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: "MY THANKS TO 'YON DENIZENS' FOR BEING IN THE DEN TODAY! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!"
