	8:02pm Krys O.: I've loved Tom since I watched his TV show as tiny tot. Swoooooon....
	8:02pm chresti: @Kat, same here
	8:02pm Handy Haversack: I looked Time right in the eye and said, "Fool me four times, shame on you. Fool me five times, er ..."
	8:02pm Krys O.: Ha, Handy!
	8:02pm Kat in Chicago: I watched Tom as a tot too! My mom adored him.
	8:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wiggling in! 🐝
	8:03pm Krys O.: Elvis was jealous of Tom.
	8:03pm HyperDose: I think that means you should pour us both another round, Handy
	8:04pm Handy Haversack: On it, HyperDose. I also have homemade scallion pancakes, if that helps get my foot in the door, like.
	8:04pm Feldy: If there's room to wiggle, there's room to throw your underpants on the stage
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: I'm eating scallions atop my homemade chili. I guess it's Scallion Night. Gonna try scallion pancakes!
	8:05pm Krys O.: The dance floor is filling up!
	8:06pm Dennis Diken: hey Krys and gang - diggin'!
	8:06pm Aitch: Listening
	8:06pm Krys O.: Hey, Dennis! Nice to see ya!
	👻 8:07pm Austin Rich: I need to put on the good bow tie for a show like this.
	8:07pm Krys O.: Ooh, I think I have a bow tie somewhere.
	8:07pm Handy Haversack: Glockenspiel? Glockenspiels?
	8:08pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi all! warm greetings from Midtown
	8:08pm Krys O.: Well, I'll put on my dad's tie with the White House painted on it. Ice cream truck music, Handy.
	8:08pm Kat in Chicago: Cute Hey Ya!
	👻 8:10pm MarkTime: Iwas just in the laundry room, and thought "My the ice cream truck is late today!"
	8:10pm HyperDose: We're going streaking!
	👻 8:10pm WR: Feldy, i nominate your comment @804 to be added to the Wiggle Room description. I never did learn how to tie a box tie.
	8:11pm Krys O.: @WR: I second your nomination. I've only used clip-on bow ties.
	👻 8:12pm Austin Rich: @MarkTime: True story: in our neighborhood, there has been an ice cream truck making the rounds. It's the same one that's always active in our neighborhood, but way out of season. It's terrible weather right now, rainy and cold. Plus: Pandemic. But that dude is determined. He must need the money, bad.
	8:12pm chresti: My ex usta wear fat ties
	8:13pm Krys O.: @chresti: When ties were as wide as the lapels, I bet.
	8:15pm Handy Haversack: I was really hoping to use this stupid pandemic to make sure I never wear a tie again, but now we are invited to a wedding in May. I was really hoping to be done with those, too! Kilt, combat boots, WFMU T-shirt, corduroy blazer. Seems formal enough, crap damn it!
	👻 8:15pm MarkTime: @Austin Rich: After all these years in Sow Cal I'm still getting used to ice cream trucks in February. Our guy drives through here too fast ... slower, even if less often he'd get more business
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: "He Dubbed me good..."
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: Our guy is slow, his truck is loud, and I've never investigated the selection. I'm sort of shocked, as our street doesn't have a lot of kids on it. Who knows the logic?
	8:17pm chresti: Krys. yes, and later, when skinny ties were the rage. he would receive all kinds of whacky ties from friends (and me)
	👻 8:18pm Mr Fab: what was that name, Ironing Board Slim?
	8:18pm Handy Haversack: I've yet to hear the RZA ice-cream-truck jingle in the wild, only on WFMU. Despite the fact that summer nights here include a massive stoner party at the gas station on the corner as all the ice-cream-truck drivers fuel them up before putting them away for the night. A million stories in the naked city.
	8:18pm David in California: MarkTime, your story reminds me of the Morecambe and Wise sketch where Morecambe hears a police siren going by and says "He won't sell much ice cream going at that speed."
	8:19pm Krys O.: Ironing Board Sam. His keyboard stand was an ironing board.
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: I've stuck with the Bow Tie thing consistently since the 90's, but I wore a selection of stuff before that. But I did find a photo of me at 5 wearing a bow tie, so I know it's pretty deep in my soul at this point.
	8:20pm HyperDose: Legend has it, Will Smith hates this song
	8:20pm Krys O.: @Mr. Fab: musicmaker.org...
	👻 8:20pm Austin Rich: This is an incredibly faithful cover of "Who Are Parents." So good!
	8:20pm Krys O.: It ain't easy to cover the Shaggs either.
	8:21pm chresti: Franco uses an ironing board for his work table.
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: The most angry I've ever seen a roommate of mine is when I put on the Shaggs one morning to clean the house, and he came down from upstairs to tell me I needed to turn off that garbage or we would have to fight. I turned it off.
	8:22pm Krys O.: Shaggs shared that quality with Stravinsky.
	8:22pm Handy Haversack: It's warm here, under the covers.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: And I love them both! What does that say about me?
	👻 8:22pm Mr Fab: That guy looks great. I played my Casio on an ironing board in my high school new wave band.
	8:23pm Krys O.: Great minds, Mr. Fab!
	8:23pm Krys O.: Gosh, I really love Astrid's cover. She is sooooo talented.
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: I was the engineer for live sound at our radio station for many years when I was in College, and the number of Ironing Boards that I had to mic up for various bands was astonishing.
	👻 8:23pm MarkTime: @David in California: Morecambe and Wise sounds vaguely familiar ... did they run on some PBS stations in the States? Monty Python was the Gateway Drug but I really learned to love Dave Allen, Peter Cook, etc thanks to PBS
	8:24pm Andres: Hi, Krys! These have all been top shelf but this Cure cover is sending me to the moon!
	8:24pm Handy Haversack: Word, Andres!
	8:24pm Krys O.: Got to see Morecombe & Wise on Beatles related bootleg VHS tapes in the late 80s.
	8:25pm Krys O.: Merci, Andres!
	8:25pm Andres: Seriously, it gave me a body rush!
	8:26pm Krys O.: I'm trying to get some new music from Astrid. Fingers crossed.
	8:26pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Kris, Wow! My first time catching your show.
	8:27pm Krys O.: Hey, Franco!!!!
	8:27pm David in California: MarkTime, during the early eighties, some of the independent stations that had success with Benny Hill tried showing Morecambe and Wise, without the same success, probably because Morecambe and Wise were more subtle than Benny Hill.
	8:27pm Franco Twinkie: One of these days I'll spell your name right. Sheesh!
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: Most things are more subtle than Benny Hill!
	8:28pm Krys O.: @Andres: Here are two other songs done by Astrid: rsteviemoore.bandcamp.com... and this one really sends me: rsteviemoore.bandcamp.com...
	👻 8:28pm MarkTime: David: Ah, thanks for reminder. Benny Hill ran on a commercial station in Chicago (pre-Fox WFLD)
	8:29pm Kat in Chicago: I don't know the original that Holsapple/Stamey are covering, but I'm quite charmed by this version.
	👻 8:29pm Mr Fab: this sounds like a sensible They Might Be Giants.
	8:29pm Krys O.: No worries, Franco. I get Keys sometimes.
	8:29pm Andres: Thank you, Krys! I was just trying to find more!
	👻 8:29pm Austin Rich: My memory of Benny Hill was that my dad would change the channel if I came in when it was on, to the point where I was very curious about it. As an adult, when I could finally watch it on my own, I was underwhelmed.
	8:30pm Krys O.: @Mr. Fab: They were half of the dB's.
	👻 8:30pm Austin Rich: Clearly a pretty good half.
	8:31pm Krys O.: My dad loved Benny Hill because it was louche. He also loved The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin with Leonard Rossiter. PBS played a lot of British comedies.
	👻 8:31pm MarkTime: My dad was too much into Benny Hill, but for me a little was enough ha
	8:31pm David in California: MarkTime, the independent stations that showed Benny Hill and Morecambe and Wise in Oakland and Sacramento also became Fox affiliates.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: Benny Hill was awesome when youre a kid! It was on late, after mom went to bed. Nekkid, naughty stuff.
	👻 8:31pm MarkTime: David: Ah yes, KTVU in Oakland
	8:32pm Krys O.: Dad liked Monty Python to a certain extent.
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: Perhaps. I felt a little weird as a 20-something watching it, trying to figure it out. But I was head over heels for Python by then, so it sort of didn't matter.
	8:33pm David in California: MarkTime, that's the one. Home of Creature Features with Bob Wilkins.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: Krys O: you have inspired me to pull out my Kramer albums for listening later this week. Thanks!
	8:33pm Krys O.: Huzzah, Austin Rich!
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: I only know of Bob Wilkins from the "American Scary" Horror Hosts documentary. I love Horror Hosts.
	8:34pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, I think Benny Hill might have had something to do with me chasing women out of my class and a half a foot taller.
	8:35pm Krys O.: I think my father's absolute favorite was The Two Ronnies.
	8:37pm David in California: Austin Rich, when the original "Willard" came out, Bob Wilkins promoted it with a contest. If you won, you got to see "Willard" in the theatre, alone.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: @David: Now that's my kind of contest! See, they just don't have weird TV Hosts like that anymore.
	8:38pm Krys O.: Ha! @David, that sounds like a nightmare.
	8:38pm Franco Twinkie: Your voice!
	8:38pm PaulRobeson1920: We choose to go to the Moon and do the other thing!
	8:40pm Handy Haversack: Thank you for playing, Donovan, but we have decided to go in a different and amazing direction.
	8:40pm Franco Twinkie: Hands down, my favorite Donavan song. Eartha is killing it!
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: Holy Cats! I've never heard this before! And I love both Donovan and Eartha! Wow!
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: This is delicious! Who knew Donovan and Eartha would make such a perfect pair
	8:41pm chresti: My Dad liked WC Fields movies, Laurel and Hardy, don't think he watched Monty Python
	8:41pm Krys O.: She does Hurdy Gurdy Man on the same album.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: Woah! Krys O, I need this album!
	8:42pm Franco Twinkie: Sunny Goodge Street would have been a natural.
	8:42pm Krys O.: @chresti: My dad ADORED Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello.
	8:43pm Andres: In this case I don't think I know Donovan's original so it leaves me wondering which is the version I do know. Whatever the case, I love Eartha's version!
	8:43pm Krys O.: There's always Under the Covers part deux. ;)
	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: I was the one that was taping old movies when I was growing up. My parents were usually watching HBO or something pretty current. I do remember that we all loved "Romancing The Stone," together, but mostly, I was the one looking for old stuff.
	8:45pm Krys O.: I still have the cassette of Duck Soup that my brother recorded. I listened to it so often that I know the dialog by heart.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: Duck Soup is the best. I still can't believe a movie like that got made. It's marvelous.
	8:46pm Andres: Sunday mornings from one of the Buffalo stations (late 70's early 80's) was Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton. What a contrast to the Saturday morning cartoon fare.
	8:46pm Andres: And Charlie Chaplin!
	8:46pm chresti: My first Donovan experience was the Mellow Yellow album that my older brother had. I love Marx Bros movies!
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Laurel and Hardy short is Big Business. It combines two themes that are dear to my heart: Christmas in July and vandalism.
	8:47pm Feldy: I was definitely taping movies as a kid. Audio taping before VHS, and after because I didn't have one. But you just close your eyes and see the movie still
	8:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Eartha Kitt’s rendition of Hurdy Gurdy Man is wildly good
	8:48pm Krys O.: Saturday afternoons in the mid-70s was Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone, Laurel & Hardy, then a Shirley Temple film. I grew up in New York about 25 miles from Manhattan. We had great local channels.
	8:48pm chresti: Such a sturdy vibrato
	8:48pm Franco Twinkie: Feldy, let's go out and break something!
	8:49pm Kat in Chicago: That's a good way to put it, chresti
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Edith Piaf is our camping music, when my wife and I got out into the woods. We bring fancy food and we listen to Edith Piaf and it's the perfect way to spend time in the deep forest.
	8:49pm Krys O.: I went to see Piaf's grave in Paris three times on the tour.
	8:49pm Handy Haversack: Edith Piaf. Pret-ty good! Whoa, Louis.
	👻 8:51pm Mr Fab: What the heck, Louis? Sounds like he's 100years old, but this is only 10 years past his hit-making prime.
	8:51pm chresti: Edith Piaf goes well with cigarettes and red wine.
	👻 8:52pm WR: Don't remember hearing Prima doing that FOTB Italian accent before.
	8:52pm Franco Twinkie: Krys, same here. L.A. had a four independent stations that were fantastic junk piles of black & while treasures.
	8:53pm Handy Haversack: Album cover says: turn on the power of the mind. Songs and self suggestions: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	8:53pm chresti: Which cemetery? @Piaf
	8:54pm Handy Haversack: We had the Superstation in Atlanta. Lots of Sherlock, Tarzan, Bomba the Jungle Boy, Shirley Temple.
	👻 8:54pm Mr Fab: After you've been hypnotized you think she's a great singer.
	8:54pm David in California: Thank you, Krys O. I enjoyed the covers.
	8:55pm Krys O.: Pere Lachaise, chresti. It's chock full of dead celebs from Chopin to Jim Morrison.
	8:55pm Handy Haversack: Crap, how can it be almost over? Great, great show, Krys! So glad to have been here for it. Seriously, I just love the way you put a show together. Much happiness in our place. K8 says thanks too! Stay off the hooks, Wigglers!
	8:55pm Krys O.: My pleasure!
	8:55pm chresti: *My dad LOVED the Jackie Gleason show
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: Franco: Tom Hatten! With his clipboard, reading fun-to-know facts about the old movies he'd show.
	8:56pm Kat in Chicago: Lovely way to spend an hour, thank you Krys!
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: I'm hooked! This was amazing.
	8:56pm Krys O.: You're all sweethearts! Mwah! Thank you!
	8:57pm PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Krys O! OH!
	8:57pm chresti: The one in Montmartre?
	👻 8:57pm WR: Thank you! Thank you!
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: What a totally fun show, thx so much, Krys! The fun's not done, it's just begun. Stick around: www.wfmu.org...
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, before Tom wore a sensible sweater, he was a sailor with bulging muscles showing Popeye cartoons.
	8:57pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	8:57pm Scott67: Thanks Krys! Great fit with the 2 previous Shows! ✌😎🌷
	8:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Krys.
	8:58pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Krys!
	8:58pm Krys O.: (Deep bow) Merci beaucoup!
	9:02pm Andres: That was great, Krys!!
	9:03pm HyperDose: Thanks Krys!!!

	👻 8:12pm Austin Rich: @MarkTime: True story: in our neighborhood, there has been an ice cream truck making the rounds. It's the same one that's always active in our neighborhood, but way out of season. It's terrible weather right now, rainy and cold. Plus: Pandemic. But that dude is determined.

	👻 8:20pm Austin Rich: This is an incredibly faithful cover of "Who Are Parents." So good!
	8:20pm Krys O.: It ain't easy to cover the Shaggs either.
	8:21pm chresti: Franco uses an ironing board for his work table.
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: The most angry I've ever seen a roommate of mine is when I put on the Shaggs one morning to clean the house, and he came down from upstairs to tell me I needed to turn off that garbage or we would have to fight. I turned it off.
	8:22pm Krys O.: Shaggs shared that quality with Stravinsky.
	8:22pm Handy Haversack: It's warm here, under the covers.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: And I love them both! What does that say about me?
	👻 8:22pm Mr Fab: That guy looks great. I played my Casio on an ironing board in my high school new wave band.
	8:23pm Krys O.: Great minds, Mr. Fab!
	8:23pm Krys O.: Gosh, I really love Astrid's cover. She is sooooo talented.
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: I was the engineer for live sound at our radio station for many years when I was in College, and the number of Ironing Boards that I had to mic up for various bands was astonishing.
	👻 8:23pm MarkTime: @David in California: Morecambe and Wise sounds vaguely familiar ... did they run on some PBS stations in the States? Monty Python was the Gateway Drug but I really learned to love Dave Allen, Peter Cook, etc thanks to PBS
	8:24pm Andres: Hi, Krys! These have all been top shelf but this Cure cover is sending me to the moon!
	8:24pm Handy Haversack: Word, Andres!
	8:24pm Krys O.: Got to see Morecombe & Wise on Beatles related bootleg VHS tapes in the late 80s.
	8:25pm Krys O.: Merci, Andres!
	8:25pm Andres: Seriously, it gave me a body rush!
	8:26pm Krys O.: I'm trying to get some new music from Astrid. Fingers crossed.
	8:26pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Kris, Wow! My first time catching your show.
	8:27pm Krys O.: Hey, Franco!!!!
	8:27pm David in California: MarkTime, during the early eighties, some of the independent stations that had success with Benny Hill tried showing Morecambe and Wise, without the same success, probably because Morecambe and Wise were more subtle than Benny Hill.
	8:27pm Franco Twinkie: One of these days I'll spell your name right. Sheesh!
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: Most things are more subtle than Benny Hill!
	8:28pm Krys O.: @Andres: Here are two other songs done by Astrid: rsteviemoore.bandcamp.com... and this one really sends me: rsteviemoore.bandcamp.com...
	👻 8:28pm MarkTime: David: Ah, thanks for reminder. Benny Hill ran on a commercial station in Chicago (pre-Fox WFLD)
	8:29pm Kat in Chicago: I don't know the original that Holsapple/Stamey are covering, but I'm quite charmed by this version.
	👻 8:29pm Mr Fab: this sounds like a sensible They Might Be Giants.
	8:29pm Krys O.: No worries, Franco. I get Keys sometimes.
	8:29pm Andres: Thank you, Krys! I was just trying to find more!
	👻 8:29pm Austin Rich: My memory of Benny Hill was that my dad would change the channel if I came in when it was on, to the point where I was very curious about it. As an adult, when I could finally watch it on my own, I was underwhelmed.
	8:30pm Krys O.: @Mr. Fab: They were half of the dB's.
	👻 8:30pm Austin Rich: Clearly a pretty good half.
	8:31pm Krys O.: My dad loved Benny Hill because it was louche. He also loved The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin with Leonard Rossiter. PBS played a lot of British comedies.
	👻 8:31pm MarkTime: My dad was too much into Benny Hill, but for me a little was enough ha
	8:31pm David in California: MarkTime, the independent stations that showed Benny Hill and Morecambe and Wise in Oakland and Sacramento also became Fox affiliates.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: Benny Hill was awesome when youre a kid! It was on late, after mom went to bed. Nekkid, naughty stuff.
	👻 8:31pm MarkTime: David: Ah yes, KTVU in Oakland
	8:32pm Krys O.: Dad liked Monty Python to a certain extent.
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: Perhaps. I felt a little weird as a 20-something watching it, trying to figure it out. But I was head over heels for Python by then, so it sort of didn't matter.
	8:33pm David in California: MarkTime, that's the one. Home of Creature Features with Bob Wilkins.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: Krys O: you have inspired me to pull out my Kramer albums for listening later this week. Thanks!
	8:33pm Krys O.: Huzzah, Austin Rich!
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: I only know of Bob Wilkins from the "American Scary" Horror Hosts documentary. I love Horror Hosts.
	8:34pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, I think Benny Hill might have had something to do with me chasing women out of my class and a half a foot taller.
	8:35pm Krys O.: I think my father's absolute favorite was The Two Ronnies.
	8:37pm David in California: Austin Rich, when the original "Willard" came out, Bob Wilkins promoted it with a contest. If you won, you got to see "Willard" in the theatre, alone.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: @David: Now that's my kind of contest! See, they just don't have weird TV Hosts like that anymore.
	8:38pm Krys O.: Ha! @David, that sounds like a nightmare.
	8:38pm Franco Twinkie: Your voice!
	8:38pm PaulRobeson1920: We choose to go to the Moon and do the other thing!
	8:40pm Handy Haversack: Thank you for playing, Donovan, but we have decided to go in a different and amazing direction.
	8:40pm Franco Twinkie: Hands down, my favorite Donavan song. Eartha is killing it!
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: Holy Cats! I've never heard this before! And I love both Donovan and Eartha! Wow!
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: This is delicious! Who knew Donovan and Eartha would make such a perfect pair
	8:41pm chresti: My Dad liked WC Fields movies, Laurel and Hardy, don't think he watched Monty Python
	8:41pm Krys O.: She does Hurdy Gurdy Man on the same album.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: Woah! Krys O, I need this album!
	8:42pm Franco Twinkie: Sunny Goodge Street would have been a natural.
	8:42pm Krys O.: @chresti: My dad ADORED Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello.
	8:43pm Andres: In this case I don't think I know Donovan's original so it leaves me wondering which is the version I do know. Whatever the case, I love Eartha's version!
	8:43pm Krys O.: There's always Under the Covers part deux. ;)
	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: I was the one that was taping old movies when I was growing up. My parents were usually watching HBO or something pretty current. I do remember that we all loved "Romancing The Stone," together, but mostly, I was the one looking for old stuff.
	8:45pm Krys O.: I still have the cassette of Duck Soup that my brother recorded. I listened to it so often that I know the dialog by heart.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: Duck Soup is the best. I still can't believe a movie like that got made. It's marvelous.
	8:46pm Andres: Sunday mornings from one of the Buffalo stations (late 70's early 80's) was Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton. What a contrast to the Saturday morning cartoon fare.
	8:46pm Andres: And Charlie Chaplin!
	8:46pm chresti: My first Donovan experience was the Mellow Yellow album that my older brother had. I love Marx Bros movies!
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Laurel and Hardy short is Big Business. It combines two themes that are dear to my heart: Christmas in July and vandalism.
	8:47pm Feldy: I was definitely taping movies as a kid. Audio taping before VHS, and after because I didn't have one. But you just close your eyes and see the movie still
	8:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Eartha Kitt’s rendition of Hurdy Gurdy Man is wildly good
	8:48pm Krys O.: Saturday afternoons in the mid-70s was Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone, Laurel & Hardy, then a Shirley Temple film. I grew up in New York about 25 miles from Manhattan. We had great local channels.
	8:48pm chresti: Such a sturdy vibrato
	8:48pm Franco Twinkie: Feldy, let's go out and break something!
	8:49pm Kat in Chicago: That's a good way to put it, chresti
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: Edith Piaf is our camping music, when my wife and I got out into the woods. We bring fancy food and we listen to Edith Piaf and it's the perfect way to spend time in the deep forest.
	8:49pm Krys O.: I went to see Piaf's grave in Paris three times on the tour.
	8:49pm Handy Haversack: Edith Piaf. Pret-ty good! Whoa, Louis.
	👻 8:51pm Mr Fab: What the heck, Louis? Sounds like he's 100years old, but this is only 10 years past his hit-making prime.
	8:51pm chresti: Edith Piaf goes well with cigarettes and red wine.
	👻 8:52pm WR: Don't remember hearing Prima doing that FOTB Italian accent before.
	8:52pm Franco Twinkie: Krys, same here. L.A. had a four independent stations that were fantastic junk piles of black & while treasures.
	8:53pm Handy Haversack: Album cover says: turn on the power of the mind. Songs and self suggestions: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	8:53pm chresti: Which cemetery? @Piaf
	8:54pm Handy Haversack: We had the Superstation in Atlanta. Lots of Sherlock, Tarzan, Bomba the Jungle Boy, Shirley Temple.
	👻 8:54pm Mr Fab: After you've been hypnotized you think she's a great singer.
	8:54pm David in California: Thank you, Krys O. I enjoyed the covers.
	8:55pm Krys O.: Pere Lachaise, chresti. It's chock full of dead celebs from Chopin to Jim Morrison.
	8:55pm Handy Haversack: Crap, how can it be almost over? Great, great show, Krys! So glad to have been here for it. Seriously, I just love the way you put a show together. Much happiness in our place. K8 says thanks too! Stay off the hooks, Wigglers!
	8:55pm Krys O.: My pleasure!
	8:55pm chresti: *My dad LOVED the Jackie Gleason show
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: Franco: Tom Hatten! With his clipboard, reading fun-to-know facts about the old movies he'd show.
	8:56pm Kat in Chicago: Lovely way to spend an hour, thank you Krys!
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: I'm hooked! This was amazing.
	8:56pm Krys O.: You're all sweethearts! Mwah! Thank you!
	8:57pm PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Krys O! OH!
	8:57pm chresti: The one in Montmartre?
	👻 8:57pm WR: Thank you! Thank you!
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: What a totally fun show, thx so much, Krys! The fun's not done, it's just begun. Stick around: www.wfmu.org...
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, before Tom wore a sensible sweater, he was a sailor with bulging muscles showing Popeye cartoons.
	8:57pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	8:57pm Scott67: Thanks Krys! Great fit with the 2 previous Shows! ✌😎🌷
	8:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Krys.
	8:58pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Krys!
	8:58pm Krys O.: (Deep bow) Merci beaucoup!
	9:02pm Andres: That was great, Krys!!
	9:03pm HyperDose: Thanks Krys!!!
