	9:07am Erin in TO: Looking forward to the show! Joe and Michael Shelley together, what a team!
	9:08am dale: i was thinking route 66 when you played that first number. any george maharis on tap?
	9:08am ratso: what an overture!
	9:09am G: Smooth...
	9:10am Listener Robert: How long's it going to be before hearing Frank O'Toole's closing theme stops making me sad?
	9:10am Handy Haversack: RIP, Jimmy G. Has anyone gone back to see what the Corner is like after the reopening?
	9:11am The Oscar: Good morning to Joe, Michael, and that impossibly smooth transition!
	👻 9:11am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - Haven’t been back but it probably has r changed much - I think I read his son is running it
	9:11am Michael Shelley: JUST FYI - the number to pledge is 800-989-9368
	👻 9:12am Marley P. Dogg: Can’t type this morning - hasn’t changed much
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Hi Joe! Hi Michael! What a dynamic duo we have today!
	9:13am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: We're actually going to play softball this spring, Marley, so I should have some nights in Midtown when I need a friendly place again. I'll report back.
	👻 9:14am DjLorraine: Joe, Michael and WFMU makes the world a better place
	9:15am Listener Robert: @G, from your question on last night's State of the Station, I gather both that you get emotionally sucked into the suspense and numbers of the pledge drive as I do and that you don't have much experience with them. All I can note is that WFMU's donors seem to have a flair for the dramatic and hence back-end-load the bulk of the pledges. I have to keep myself from constantly checking and figuring, "OK, if they average X amount per hour, and then the last weekend does Y...." As if I didn't have enough distractions from work.
	9:16am Robm: Morning fellow surface noise dwellers
	9:18am Creature Boy: When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Michael's level seem a little low to anyone else?
	9:20am G: @Listener R -- Not emotionally, but analytically/practically. -- They seem like they are behind some. But yes, some folks are more motivated to pull the trigger when it gets close to the overall marathon goal, near the end...
	9:20am Alvy Singer: Michael's mic is a bit low.
	9:20am ratso: yes, Handy
	9:20am luka: "a good monday morning guy" - new aspirational goal
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Mike Mike Mike! mic mic mic!
	9:21am Clinto: Hey all! Clinto and Kevin here on the phones caffienated and hydrated and ready to take your call
	9:21am dale: i feel bad when i have to email joe - i imagine he get's dozens if not hundreds of emails a day.
	👻 9:21am Marley P. Dogg: Sinner! Brother Kevin!
	9:21am KWilde: Good Morning! Michael and Joe host two of my favorite programs on WFMU
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: i like the Plant/Krauss way more than I ever thought I would
	9:22am Creature Boy: Brother Kevin Nutt is the coolest
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: Happy Pi Day!
	9:23am dale: i think he conducted.
	9:23am Robm: @Yeti love anything by allison krause
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: WHH: ""How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics". (Mnemonic for digits of pi, count the letters in each word)
	9:24am dale: milton berle had an album 'songs that my mother liked' or some such. i have that one somewhere.
	9:25am Listener Robert: @G, it's a roller coaster. They opened the widget 2 weeks pre, and what came in the first of those weeks was so much, and even considerable the second week, that I thought, wow, if we send it in this fast WITHOUT a marathon, the marathon's going to be a piece of cake. But then, well, you see the numbers. But it was encouraging hearing Ken last night, since some years he's said things like, "We're a little behind where we want to be...."
	9:25am sinner: hey everybody! joe looks exactly the way he sounds.
	9:25am Brainiac from Neuron 3: Here's a collection of song's from Clay Pigeon's old band, Deloris Telescope ..www.youtube.com...
	9:26am yippie: You've heard of Ali baba 40 thieves had he , out for what we all want lots of LSD
	9:26am Michael Shelley: "conducted"
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Perfect song.
	9:27am luka: when i think about artists FMU has given me a deep appreciation for that i did not have before, richard and linda are hiiiiigh up on that list.
	9:28am KWilde: Great live rendition of an incredible song
	9:28am Creature Boy: Kevin i thought you broadcasted from a southern location
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: hey luka I think it was you who turned me on to Alabaster DePlume and I wanted to thank you for that. I get great music tips not just from the 'FMU DJ's, but listeners too.
	9:29am luka: @YB that’s so great to hear! i just preordered his new special edition LP and i think the shipping was more than the album.
	9:31am Robm: @luka between this station and radio paradise, a couple of other stations i have been turned on to music that i have not heard on commercial music radio with their SSDD
	9:31am dale: i have a jackie gleason album that tries for a psychedelic bent, has sitar on it and kind of a trippy cover.
	9:32am Joe McG: Hey everybody! Sorry for the late hello, a bit hectic this morning. Going to be giving away Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on the next mic break!
	9:32am annie: :)
	👻 9:33am YETI BOB: Where do you live, Luka? No record shops?
	9:36am JeremyB: What a team up! Good morning Joe! Good Morning Mike!
	9:36am luka: @YB moved from Chicago to Richmond, VA in late 2017 and that’s when i started listening to FMU heavily! we’ve great shops here (Plan 9, Deep Groove, Record and Relics, Vinyl Conflict, etc.). i just wanted to spring for the special edition and support on a Bandcamp friday.
	👻 9:38am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe, Michael and everyone!
	👻 9:38am Marley P. Dogg: Plan 9 records! I used to go to the one in Harrisonburg when I was in college
	9:39am luka: @Marley in RVA, they’re still in Carytown, but moved to a huge space across the street from where i am told they used to be.
	9:40am MarciB: The best of Mondays and Saturdays in one show! And the tag-team DJs are great 😊!
	9:41am Handy Haversack: That was K8! (At least I think so!)
	9:41am ChukAmok: @luka I broke down in RVA a couple years ago and visited Deep Groove while the car was being worked on. Nice little shop, and a couple good finds there.
	9:42am Creature Boy: I bought a copy of "Rolling Stones No. 2" their 2nd british album ( fantastic record ) from somewhere in Europe for like 2 bucks but the shipping was about 17$. It was listed as a rough copy of an 80s reissue but was actually an early 60s pressing. Not a bad buy for under 20$ and those old mono records sound great even if they're a dinged up a bit
	9:43am luka: @Chuk super cool. Jay has a nice little shop, he worked at Plan 9 for a long time if memory serves. they put out a really cool Drive-By Truckers live record that was recorded at Plan 9 in the mid-2000s recently.
	9:43am Danny C: Joe ... That should have been "sending love to counter world event blues" ha ha I don't know how that happened
	9:43am G: Station Managers everywhere: "DJs ARE PIGS!!!"
	9:43am luka: man i love this community!! reminds me that the internet isn’t all bad. just mostly.
	9:43am sinner: Pledge for the Ho Chi Minh trail!
	9:44am Clinto: Hanoi Hannah says Yah!
	9:44am Daybreak: Joe and Michael, The pandemic isn’t over! As of right now both my wife and daughter are COVID-19 positive. As of last night, before my 1st of many nights in the guest bedroom, I was negative in a PCR on Friday and still negative after 2 rapid tests yesterday. So I am masked at work.
	9:46am Clinto: Drag, Daybreak! Hope everyone is vaxed, seems the bug is more tolerable in that case.
	9:46am A Bee: I’m mourning that tossed salad 😭
	9:46am Creature Boy: Joseph Spence is cool
	9:47am Brendan: Sounds like Adam Sandler
	9:47am P-90: PLEDGE for the return of “The Bomb Shelter Era”
	9:48am Krys O.: Yay, Joseph Spence! 🥰
	9:49am Krys O.: My thoughts to your wife and daughter, Daybreak. And I concur that the pandemic is not over.
	9:49am yippie: Walking in NYC if you look closely you can notice a lot of buildings with signs saying they have bomb shelters
	9:50am Daybreak: Thanks @Clinto The wife and I are vaxed AND boosted! The daughter and son are double vaxed! Fortunately, my daughter, who is having it for the second time is having mild symptoms to the point where she now feels completely normal even though she has four more days before she’s totally clear. My wife who tested positive yesterday then admitted she was already starting to feel rundown and so is generally, and also from the wider horrid perspective, lightly under the weather Hopefully, if I am struck down, which will be my second time as I was part of the October outbreak, it will also be light like my daughter. 🤞🤞🤞
	👻 9:50am Webhamster Henry: A free copy of Calypso with every pledge! (not)
	9:51am P-90: @Daybreak: sorry to hear your family has been hit. People in the US hav been encouraged to pretend that the Covid epidemic is over, but the next wave is expected to be apparent in North America sometime in April.
	9:51am Michael Shelley: My daughter had it few weeks ago, and remarkably - my wife & I were spared.
	9:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Joseph Spence always takes me back to high school, and the Calypso LP takes me back to being, like, 8.
	9:52am Creature Boy: What do Victoria Spivey and Harry Bellefonte have in common?
	9:52am Daybreak: Congrats Michael Shelley, on being a bullet dodger! Great to hear you during the week!
	9:54am TDK60: Belafonte's 'Ballads, Blues and Boasters' is one of my fave albums.
	9:54am Joe McG: One more tune and we're going to give away Joseph Spence!
	9:57am Colin in Durham England: Hello bum knobs I’m just checking to see if I’ve got a cool little icon thing
	9:57am Creature Boy: Blues artist Spivey & Bellefonte both hired a very young Bob Dylan as a harmonica session player
	9:57am Colin in Durham England: Yes! Sorry for being rude but you’re all far too nice
	9:58am Colin in Durham England: I love you all. (Yes I’ve had a drink)
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Cheers, Colin!
	9:59am brendangen: What a great segment this has been
	10:00am Creature Boy: "Bum knobs" is fairly Greek to us . Sandler wisheS he could play guitar like spence
	10:01am P-90: That Adam Sandler comment completely ruined the track for me, no going back after that
	👻 10:02am yerfriendpaul: Love the variety, Joe!
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Rex can have the Michael's Salad Memorial Playlist and Comments Board some upcoming Saturday.
	10:03am ifeelfatnsassy: Bowl of salad as your little badge for 2022 Marathon support?
	10:03am TDK60: You've really brought it, DJ Michael.
	10:04am Daybreak: Thanks to the New State Graduation test for allowing me to listen much later than usual.
	👻 10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Daybreak feel better to you and your household!
	10:06am Daybreak: Young Woman…share your fire 🔥 with me…they call me Sand⏳
	👻 10:06am MasterofPuberty: His Master's Voice..."Her Daddy's Label"
	10:07am Creature Boy: The Beau Brummels do a GREAT version of "Boots"
	10:07am Handy Haversack: This is a great prize!
	10:07am eric from lake hiawatha: Years ago Inflatable Squirrel Carcass played an entire show of Bang Bang covers. Riveting.
	10:08am Tim 07030: This Nancy Sinatra compilation is great.
	10:08am Daybreak: Tarantino introduced me to this one! Lively and haunting. I forget which film.. “kill bill” given the content?
	10:08am dale: sonny could write a tune, i tell you what....
	10:09am Daybreak: Thank you Threemoons!
	10:09am Erin in TO: @Daybreak Yeah it was Kill Bill, that's where I first heard it too
	10:10am dale: i wonder if a cowboy in sweden exists somewhere. was it a tv movie over there?
	10:11am Creature Boy: The Brummels' Sal Valentino can be heard exclaiming "Get 'em boots" on their version
	10:15am Bryant in TO: Morning, all! @Daybreak @Erin Yeah, hearing "Bang Bang" reminds me that one of the ways I try to get friends into FMU is telling them it plays a lot of songs that would fit in to Tarantino movies. That's my hook for them, at least. Another way I'd put it is that it plays a lot of cool stuff, but in a way that champions enthusiasm over self-conscious coolness
	10:15am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe, Michael, and everyone.
	10:16am Erin in TO: @Bryant I got hooked by a friend. He turned me on to Wake & Bake, and it's snowballed from there. It feels like I spend like half of every day with WFMU on
	10:16am ParUbi: Good morning guys, I like that metaphor
	10:18am Creature Boy: Sonny Curtis wrote I Fought The Law
	👻 10:19am nortonjutland: thank you Joe and Michael. wfmu has opened my mind so far, it's now inside out! i love it.
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I am richer, widened, and opened by WFMU. I do not think there's a real way to pay back all that I have received from the station. It's too much a true gift -- offered for the sake of the offering. So pledging what we can once a year feels both inadequate but also very necessary to show both my internal panic-judge of limited resources and the rest of the lousy capitalist, corporatist, colonialist world that this is what I value. In short: continued amazed thanks for all this station gives us.
	10:20am steveo: well said, Handy
	10:20am Glorious Estephonic: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	10:21am Grouse: I think that was an attempted Joseph Spence reference: I bid you good morning. I love WFMU, but it's Surface Noise I love the best. vs. I love you, but Jesus loves you best. I bid you good night, good night, good night.
	10:22am Stanley: "Doesn't matter it's WFMU"!
	10:22am Bryant in TO: @Erin I spend about that amount of time, too. I got introduced about a decade ago by a college prof telling me about the Best Show. Took a while to get into a few more of the shows (ToT, Dave the Spazz, Shut Up Weirdo), but once I let other shows wash over me, the love grew.
	10:23am Stanley: Re: Handy's comment. "Stick it to The Man - Pledge to WFMU"
	👻 10:25am Marley P. Dogg: Well said Handy
	10:25am Creature Boy: Get 'em boots!
	10:25am Handy Haversack: If you're not wearing your Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Media Pigs! T-shirt to every political press conference you can crash, then there's more you can do!
	10:26am Tim 07030: If you need any confirmation that FMU runs on a shoestring, just check out the chairs at the station.
	10:28am Brendan: This is giving me Riverdance restless leg syndrome.
	10:28am Creature Boy: Damn. Git it Richard
	👻 10:32am LW Rhino: Hi Joe and Michael.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: Stanley!
	10:33am Grouse: Soak Joseph Spence!
	10:33am jinjabredboy: Yay! Stanley
	10:34am Creature Boy: 45s sound so good
	10:34am sinner: I am having so much fun reading through y'alls posts.
	10:35am Daybreak: Damn Handy, I missed that shirt, one of my neighbors has it, and I don’t think it is in the Prize Vault, but I will scour through it when I update my pledge total now that I’ve blown past “secret society” with small extra pledges and get to pick more swag. I keep saying that I’m tapped out, but damn that Nancy Sinatra almost pulled me back in. If I hadn’t gone nuts on Rock-n-Rollar Derby…
	👻 10:35am tadpoles: 45s...the slab of plastic that I do hope lasts forever!
	👻 10:36am DjLorraine: Tim 07030 i listen for Micah's chair squeaks in MoMC
	10:41am steveo: ooh, that song recognition applause :D
	10:41am ratso: Single File is one of my favorite segments all week long
	10:41am Artie: Ella doing her best Phyllis Diller impression here.
	10:42am Beneath the Underground: Yowza. I love Ella but this is painful.
	👻 10:42am tadpoles: #Artie....I thought it was Mae West at first.
	10:42am steveo: infinite key changes!
	10:42am Handy Haversack: I don't see it in the Prize Warehouse or the store, Daybreak. Maybe it will come back to the store in a reprint soon.
	10:43am Artie: Not exactly the clear and bright sounds of "Tisket a Tasket".
	10:43am Tim 07030: This needs some scatting
	10:46am Creature Boy: Always prefer Sandy Nelson at 45rpm
	10:46am Erin in TO: @Bryant I've been surprised at some of the shows that have become faves. I used to kind of hate Techtonic but it's a must-listen for me now, and I love Dance With Me Stanley a ridiculous amount
	10:46am Listener Baby: Hello fellows!
	10:46am Stanley: Hey jinja Greetings from the Northside
	10:46am Creature Boy: Didn't realize he passed away
	10:47am anders: That mellow Kevin Ayers groove….
	10:47am Brendan: I thought I saw Ella live once. But it was Memorex. Either way she shattered all of my wine glasses.
	10:48am Bryant in TO: @Erin Haha, I adopted Stashu last year I love her show so much. Fills the role Shut Up Weirdo used to have, kicking off the weekend.
	10:49am Erin in TO: @Bryant that's exactly it. She comes on after work on a Friday just so filled with joy and upbeat music, it's the perfect start to a Friday night, despite the fact I'd never listened to polka in my life
	10:49am Tim 07030: I saw Ella at Carnegie Hall and her parting words were ‘keep buying those compact discs!’
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Single File: It's the (w)hole that is the important thing.
	👻 10:50am karlward: Still waiting for that all-punk Surface Noise episode
	10:50am G: @Handy: That's a big (w)hole.
	👻 10:50am karlward: "Who gave all those harps to those punk rockers?"
	10:51am Michael Shelley: HEY BABY!
	10:53am Bryant in TO: @Erin That's another way I've described the station to people. I didn't realize how FUN polka is until I started listening to Stashu. It's a show and a station with personality/ies
	10:53am Listener Baby: You’re doing great, Baby!
	10:54am Erin in TO: @Bryant it's the DJ's personalities and their love for what they're playing that make every show at least interesting, even if I don't love what they're playing
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, Baby!
	10:55am Listener Baby: Handy!
	10:55am rx scabin: Each show on WFMU is like an autobiography of the DJ.
	10:59am Sam: I got hooked on polka from a show on WVKR Vassar College Poughkeepsie when I was a teenager. It seemed super exotic back then and super ironic to be listening to it as a "hip" teenager. Now it feels totally normal to unwind with a neurotic high energy polka show Friday evenings!
	10:59am Bryant in TO: I started going through old episodes of Edison's Attic this weekend (I mean, I guess they're all old episodes). It made me realize how important the archives are. The library of music the station has made available for free is immense (and very much not free)
	11:00am Joe McG: It's a kind of pretty, sunny morning today, but these midnight moods songs will suit you fine when the night time comes!
	11:01am spacecadet: A wonderful way to start my morning, turning up my radio here in Colorado.
	11:02am P-90: PLEDGE FOR MORE DORIS!
	11:02am Listener Alexandra: These sounds are perfect for the 7 am PST hour. Love it!
	11:03am Bryant in TO: I get that, Sam. At first I approached polka a little ironically but the high energy is infectious and demands you let your guard down
	11:05am Handy Haversack: More great prizes. Is this Myriam Gendron an LP? I have it on cassette, and it's fantastic. First heard right hear on Surface Noise from the great Joe McGasko!
	11:06am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh my friend Elizabeth Butters used to sing this one- so gorgeous. Good morning Joe McGasko!
	11:06am Joe McG: @Handy: CD, alas, I don't even know if the vinyl is available yet! Hi, RBR!
	11:07am LCBD: Beautiful song. I've been listening but just got to the computer to comment. What an excellent show! And so nice to see many glistener friends here too!
	👻 11:09am karlward: Scott Williams got me on hat Myriam Gendron, her version of "Shenandoah," oh man that is something great indeed.
	11:09am Listener Baby: Joe. Michael Shelley love’s Genesis. Little known fact.
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Oh, hotsie motsie. Joe is pulling no punches this morning! Knocking me down on! Fortunately, the Surface Noise is a warm and friendly place to land.
	👻 11:09am karlward: hat -> that
	11:09am Handy Haversack: If you and Scott Williams have secret Myriam Gendron hats, I'm going to be very jealous, karlward.
	11:10am Mike Sin: Just rolled in to catch the final hour! Pledge to keep nice guys on the air by showing support of Gentleman Joe McG! And then become a swag-for-life member and walk around wearing nothing but an apron, oven mitt, and a pot holder! My new kitchen outfit!
	11:10am Erin in TO: What a beautiful set this has been
	11:12am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh that book sounds great. Hey LCBD!! Pledged for YOU on Friday! Hey Handy and all the pals <3
	👻 11:12am karlward: That 7SD show was amazing
	11:13am Erin in TO: I missed that 7SD but selected the DVD for one of my premiums
	11:13am ratso: Hey LC, I called in Friday, but didn't get you on the phone!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Jealous you were there, karlward! We had some kind of conflict. I asked Ken, and the FGH theme song is not going to be on the 7SD DVD. Disappearing into the ether ...
	11:16am P-90: I NEVER once met a streaming service that can predict what I will like. WFMU DJs do it on the daily.
	11:17am Handy Haversack: As listener fred so perfectly put it: "I listen to WFMU to like what I hear, not to hear what I like."
	11:18am P-90: PLEDGE to keep Joe McGasko CHAINED TO HIS COMPUTER!
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, Rachel! Didn't see you up there! And Mike Sin! I finally figure out how to wear three oven mitts, just like you! One gets taped to my chin, right?
	11:18am goldenrules: WFMU is at least as valuable as any museum.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Michael, and all the pledgers.
	👻 11:18am yerfriendpaul: Handy - I like that. That's a good way of thinking about it
	11:19am ratso: @yerfriendpaul, I hope you mean his quote from fred and not his oven mitt technique
	11:19am P-90: Congratulations @ Louis in Oscar Madison!
	11:19am LCBD: Hi ratso, I saw that - was sad that Jim the Poet took your call. I hope you are well!
	👻 11:20am yerfriendpaul: ratso - ha ha - yes, the Fred quote
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Carmichael, I have been waiting for all the Richard Thompson to summon you! Paul, ratso, youse are just jealous of me and Mike Sin and our mad accessorizing skillz!
	11:21am LCBD: Hey Joe, that was me, LCBD (Laurie in Stamford.) You were eating your breakfast when Clay P and I joined you at the table. One more thing: I love the letter home that you shared in your email. Wonderful!
	11:22am Bryant in TO: @Handy Thank you for remembering who said that! (I thought it was you!) I've used that perfect, elegant description a lot when telling people about the station
	11:22am ?: Myriam Gendron, lp or cd?
	11:22am Carmichael: Holy cow, so much RT on one show. He is still alive, isn't he ... ?
	11:22am Erin in TO: I'd not heard of Myriam Gendron before today's show, but I think I love her now
	11:23am Joe McG: @LCBD: Oh, sorry I didn't compute, Laurie! Thanks for saying hi!
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: Who is able and willing to adopt WFMU's Swag Warden? www.flickr.com...
	11:24am Rachel Bo Bachel: LCBD the station is so lucky to have a friend like you 🍀
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Bryant, I think fred said it around Marathon last year? On Bryce's show, if I recall. His new book is part of the grand prize, Carmichael! Don't worry! @?: On CD.
	11:24am ratso: @Handy, at least you didn't go with the more obvious, but cruder, option for the 3rd mitt.
	11:25am LCBD: Rachel, that goes double for you❣️
	11:26am MarionFrenchie: thank you fot this great discovery of Myriam Gendron!
	11:26am goldenrules: wow, Molly Drake is an excellent choice of follow-up.
	11:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: ratso!
	11:28am Bryant in TO: @goldenrules I'd say WFMU is better than most museums. At the Royal Ontario Museum, one of the mineral exhibits has a plaque talking about how you can thank Canada's mining companies for the wealthy society you have and don't you forget it. Just thank us and keep your mouth shut. Won't find that crap here.
	11:28am P-90: “Swag Warden”’! Very cool. I also like SWAG WRANGLER for many reasons, not least because it sounds EVEN MORE like the name of a ‘70s gay porn star…
	11:28am ratso: RBB!
	11:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael my bro just saw him in Santa Cruz :D
	11:29am Carmichael: I was there, Rachel!
	👻 11:30am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW loving the mellow vibes of today's show. Melancholy but fits the mood perfectly....
	11:31am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh Joe speaking of St. Paddy’s Day did you ever find that version of Gypsy Laddie by David Hammond and Donal Lunny? Not like you’ve been busy or anything… :D
	11:31am goldenrules: @Bryant yeah, I can imagine. in any case, I wish that everyone who likes to see things like museums as cultural institutions would recognize WFMU as such, too.
	11:32am Officer Pupp: Two of my favourite WFMU DJs in the same show!
	11:33am Lewis: The formula for pi is to divide the circumference of a circle by that circle's diameter. Turns out that Pi is irrational, sort of like much of WFMU...
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Bryant in TO: I hear you RE the oddly perverted relationship between BigCorp and the arts. Hell, they're STILL debating at some museums whether to take the Sackler name off of certain galleries. And when I went to see the Basquiat show years ago at the Brooklyn museum, there was a HUGE "Brought to you by Pfizer" sign in the lobby and at the main entrance to the exhibit--I mean a full, laser-cut 2" thick 3' long lozenge of the corporate logo. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF.
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael RIGHT you are my Bay Area buddy!!! How was the show??
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I think someone needs to bake a WFMU pie. What would the filling be?
	11:34am P-90: If you haven’t heard Tamar, check out her archives, you’ll thank me
	👻 11:34am Ken From Hyde Park: @Threeemoons - There would be bits of marbles from the blender, at the very least.
	👻 11:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And speaking of Pi/e - running joke in the family -- whenever my Mom makes chicken pot pie/turkey pot pie I ALWAYS ask if she put enough pot in it. Feel free to steal.
	11:36am efd: Darn tootin’ it works!
	11:37am Grouse: wow Phoenixville! home to the beautiful Colonial Theatre and Blobfest!
	11:38am P-90: @Theeemoons: I worked at Lincoln Center for years, got an illuminating education on the relationship between “BigCorp and the arts”
	👻 11:38am Webhamster Henry: I have to say, I'm liking this Joe McG / Michael S conversation.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: I have been thinking the same thing, Webhamster H. I'm a jaded NYer and world-weary poseur, but this is a combo that has me smiling and leaning in close to the speakers. What a great show today.
	11:41am P-90: PLEDGE for “after Sunday we won’t be talking about money”
	11:44am Lewis: Sammi Smith is a greatly overlooked sanger...
	11:44am morphe': Thanks, Joe and Michael and all !!!!!
	11:44am Bryant in TO: @Threemoons There were a couple years where I thought maybe this is just the way it has to be, that it's just modern patronage like during the Renaissance. Nope nope nope. There are alternatives. There are always alternatives possible. BigCorp just doesn't want you to have that hope. To hell with their reputation laundering guillotine insurance.
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: oh man lonely one should meet nature boy
	👻 11:46am yerfriendpaul: Nat King Cole's voice. Holy mackerel it's so good
	11:46am P-90: @YETI: yes!
	11:46am Listener Baby: The beauty of a valve trombone. Let’s bring them back.
	11:47am Joe McG: We're getting close, folks, only 20 more pledges needed! Help me get to my goal by hour's end of 150 pledges!
	11:48am Carmichael: @Rachel, fantastic as always. Got a rousing ovation for Vincent Black Lightning.
	11:49am PMD: @Threemoons I like the pot pie joke...
	11:49am Officer Pupp: Oof this Nat King Cole track is incredible!
	11:49am steveo: good ear Baby, thanks for that insight
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rather like Nat's early Piano Trio business ...but I suppose he Sing purty too...
	11:50am P-90: lovely Hambro & Heller tune
	11:53am Listener Baby: @Steveo it also helps if Juan Tisol is playing one.
	11:54am steveo: Here's a photo of Juan Tizol i.discogs.com...
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Joe, this was a fantastic show! Really highlighting the best of what WFMU offers. So good. Many thanks -- and to Michael, too! YETI BOB! Bryant!
	11:54am steveo: (i was already looking it up :)
	11:55am Jason from Houston: Fine sounds! ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	11:55am P-90: The Week After the Marathon is always something special to savor
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe and Michael! (and pledgers)
	11:55am Grouse: Seven Days of Bryce. I'd pledge to that!
	11:55am Clinto: Thanks pledgers! Had a ball on the phono
	11:56am P-90: PLEDGE for Enchsagna!
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Alexandra in Llano! Sairie is so good.
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Cheers, Llano!
	11:56am dreamyandseedy: obsessed with Sairie and i can't believe i had never heard of Trees! thank you so much!
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Cheers to you, Handy!
	11:56am LCBD: Hear hear Handy!!
	11:56am Clinto: Lazzechelada
	11:57am dreamyandseedy: Michael Shelley knows how to pronounce Llano ;)
	11:57am Handy Haversack: No, Jason, all the cheers are already on their way to YOU! Michael Shelley knows all!
	11:58am βrian: Irene is ensconced on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:58am Brendan: Thanks dudes
	11:58am Jason from Houston: I always do Laahhh-No.
	11:59am Rob Lowebrau: Aka Robert from Buffalo here. I love you guys
	11:59am Dayffid: Trembling bells also good
	11:59am Handy Haversack: I hear YOU, LCBD! See you great Surfactants at the Next Joe Up's place, I hope!
	11:59am Dayffid: In a similar vain
	11:59am Bryant in TO: Great show today! So good!

	9:07am Erin in TO: Looking forward to the show! Joe and Michael Shelley together, what a team!
	9:08am dale: i was thinking route 66 when you played that first number. any george maharis on tap?
	9:08am ratso: what an overture!
	9:09am G: Smooth...
	9:10am Listener Robert: How long's it going to be before hearing Frank O'Toole's closing theme stops making me sad?
	9:10am Handy Haversack: RIP, Jimmy G. Has anyone gone back to see what the Corner is like after the reopening?
	9:11am The Oscar: Good morning to Joe, Michael, and that impossibly smooth transition!
	👻 9:11am Marley P. Dogg: Handy - Haven’t been back but it probably has r changed much - I think I read his son is running it
	9:11am Michael Shelley: JUST FYI - the number to pledge is 800-989-9368
	👻 9:12am Marley P. Dogg: Can’t type this morning - hasn’t changed much
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: Hi Joe! Hi Michael! What a dynamic duo we have today!
	9:13am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: We're actually going to play softball this spring, Marley, so I should have some nights in Midtown when I need a friendly place again. I'll report back.
	👻 9:14am DjLorraine: Joe, Michael and WFMU makes the world a better place
	9:15am Listener Robert: @G, from your question on last night's State of the Station, I gather both that you get emotionally sucked into the suspense and numbers of the pledge drive as I do and that you don't have much experience with them. All I can note is that WFMU's donors seem to have a flair for the dramatic and hence back-end-load the bulk of the pledges. I have to keep myself from constantly checking and figuring, "OK, if they average X amount per hour, and then the last weekend does Y...." As if I didn't have enough distractions from work.
	9:16am Robm: Morning fellow surface noise dwellers
	9:18am Creature Boy: When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Michael's level seem a little low to anyone else?
	9:20am G: @Listener R -- Not emotionally, but analytically/practically. -- They seem like they are behind some. But yes, some folks are more motivated to pull the trigger when it gets close to the overall marathon goal, near the end...
	9:20am Alvy Singer: Michael's mic is a bit low.
	9:20am ratso: yes, Handy
	9:20am luka: "a good monday morning guy" - new aspirational goal
	👻 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Mike Mike Mike! mic mic mic!
	9:21am Clinto: Hey all! Clinto and Kevin here on the phones caffienated and hydrated and ready to take your call
	9:21am dale: i feel bad when i have to email joe - i imagine he get's dozens if not hundreds of emails a day.
	👻 9:21am Marley P. Dogg: Sinner! Brother Kevin!
	9:21am KWilde: Good Morning! Michael and Joe host two of my favorite programs on WFMU
	👻 9:22am YETI BOB: i like the Plant/Krauss way more than I ever thought I would
	9:22am Creature Boy: Brother Kevin Nutt is the coolest
	👻 9:22am Webhamster Henry: Happy Pi Day!
	9:23am dale: i think he conducted.
	9:23am Robm: @Yeti love anything by allison krause
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: WHH: ""How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics". (Mnemonic for digits of pi, count the letters in each word)
	9:24am dale: milton berle had an album 'songs that my mother liked' or some such. i have that one somewhere.
	9:25am Listener Robert: @G, it's a roller coaster. They opened the widget 2 weeks pre, and what came in the first of those weeks was so much, and even considerable the second week, that I thought, wow, if we send it in this fast WITHOUT a marathon, the marathon's going to be a piece of cake. But then, well, you see the numbers. But it was encouraging hearing Ken last night, since some years he's said things like, "We're a little behind where we want to be...."
	9:25am sinner: hey everybody! joe looks exactly the way he sounds.
	9:25am Brainiac from Neuron 3: Here's a collection of song's from Clay Pigeon's old band, Deloris Telescope ..www.youtube.com...
	9:26am yippie: You've heard of Ali baba 40 thieves had he , out for what we all want lots of LSD
	9:26am Michael Shelley: "conducted"
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Perfect song.
	9:27am luka: when i think about artists FMU has given me a deep appreciation for that i did not have before, richard and linda are hiiiiigh up on that list.
	9:28am KWilde: Great live rendition of an incredible song
	9:28am Creature Boy: Kevin i thought you broadcasted from a southern location
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: hey luka I think it was you who turned me on to Alabaster DePlume and I wanted to thank you for that. I get great music tips not just from the 'FMU DJ's, but listeners too.
	9:29am luka: @YB that’s so great to hear! i just preordered his new special edition LP and i think the shipping was more than the album.
	9:31am Robm: @luka between this station and radio paradise, a couple of other stations i have been turned on to music that i have not heard on commercial music radio with their SSDD
	9:31am dale: i have a jackie gleason album that tries for a psychedelic bent, has sitar on it and kind of a trippy cover.
	9:32am Joe McG: Hey everybody! Sorry for the late hello, a bit hectic this morning. Going to be giving away Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on the next mic break!
	9:32am annie: :)
	👻 9:33am YETI BOB: Where do you live, Luka? No record shops?
	9:36am JeremyB: What a team up! Good morning Joe! Good Morning Mike!
	9:36am luka: @YB moved from Chicago to Richmond, VA in late 2017 and that’s when i started listening to FMU heavily! we’ve great shops here (Plan 9, Deep Groove, Record and Relics, Vinyl Conflict, etc.). i just wanted to spring for the special edition and support on a Bandcamp friday.
	👻 9:38am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe, Michael and everyone!
	👻 9:38am Marley P. Dogg: Plan 9 records! I used to go to the one in Harrisonburg when I was in college
	9:39am luka: @Marley in RVA, they’re still in Carytown, but moved to a huge space across the street from where i am told they used to be.
	9:40am MarciB: The best of Mondays and Saturdays in one show! And the tag-team DJs are great 😊!
	9:41am Handy Haversack: That was K8! (At least I think so!)
	9:41am ChukAmok: @luka I broke down in RVA a couple years ago and visited Deep Groove while the car was being worked on. Nice little shop, and a couple good finds there.
	9:42am Creature Boy: I bought a copy of "Rolling Stones No. 2" their 2nd british album ( fantastic record ) from somewhere in Europe for like 2 bucks but the shipping was about 17$. It was listed as a rough copy of an 80s reissue but was actually an early 60s pressing. Not a bad buy for under 20$ and those old mono records sound great even if they're a dinged up a bit
	9:43am luka: @Chuk super cool. Jay has a nice little shop, he worked at Plan 9 for a long time if memory serves. they put out a really cool Drive-By Truckers live record that was recorded at Plan 9 in the mid-2000s recently.
	9:43am Danny C: Joe ... That should have been "sending love to counter world event blues" ha ha I don't know how that happened
	9:43am G: Station Managers everywhere: "DJs ARE PIGS!!!"
	9:43am luka: man i love this community!! reminds me that the internet isn’t all bad. just mostly.
	9:43am sinner: Pledge for the Ho Chi Minh trail!
	9:44am Clinto: Hanoi Hannah says Yah!
	9:44am Daybreak: Joe and Michael, The pandemic isn’t over! As of right now both my wife and daughter are COVID-19 positive. As of last night, before my 1st of many nights in the guest bedroom, I was negative in a PCR on Friday and still negative after 2 rapid tests yesterday. So I am masked at work.
	9:46am Clinto: Drag, Daybreak! Hope everyone is vaxed, seems the bug is more tolerable in that case.
	9:46am A Bee: I’m mourning that tossed salad 😭
	9:46am Creature Boy: Joseph Spence is cool
	9:47am Brendan: Sounds like Adam Sandler
	9:47am P-90: PLEDGE for the return of “The Bomb Shelter Era”
	9:48am Krys O.: Yay, Joseph Spence! 🥰
	9:49am Krys O.: My thoughts to your wife and daughter, Daybreak. And I concur that the pandemic is not over.
	9:49am yippie: Walking in NYC if you look closely you can notice a lot of buildings with signs saying they have bomb shelters
	9:50am Daybreak: Thanks @Clinto The wife and I are vaxed AND boosted! The daughter and son are double vaxed! Fortunately, my daughter, who is having it for the second time is having mild symptoms to the point where she now feels completely normal even though she has four more days before she’s totally clear. My wife who tested positive yesterday then admitted she was already starting to feel rundown and so is generally, and also from the wider horrid perspective, lightly under the weather Hopefully, if I am struck down, which will be my second time as I was part of the October outbreak, it will also be light like my daughter. 🤞🤞🤞
	👻 9:50am Webhamster Henry: A free copy of Calypso with every pledge! (not)
	9:51am P-90: @Daybreak: sorry to hear your family has been hit. People in the US hav been encouraged to pretend that the Covid epidemic is over, but the next wave is expected to be apparent in North America sometime in April.
	9:51am Michael Shelley: My daughter had it few weeks ago, and remarkably - my wife & I were spared.
	9:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Joseph Spence always takes me back to high school, and the Calypso LP takes me back to being, like, 8.
	9:52am Creature Boy: What do Victoria Spivey and Harry Bellefonte have in common?
	9:52am Daybreak: Congrats Michael Shelley, on being a bullet dodger! Great to hear you during the week!
	9:54am TDK60: Belafonte's 'Ballads, Blues and Boasters' is one of my fave albums.
	9:54am Joe McG: One more tune and we're going to give away Joseph Spence!
	9:57am Colin in Durham England: Hello bum knobs I’m just checking to see if I’ve got a cool little icon thing
	9:57am Creature Boy: Blues artist Spivey & Bellefonte both hired a very young Bob Dylan as a harmonica session player
	9:57am Colin in Durham England: Yes! Sorry for being rude but you’re all far too nice
	9:58am Colin in Durham England: I love you all. (Yes I’ve had a drink)
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Cheers, Colin!
	9:59am brendangen: What a great segment this has been
	10:00am Creature Boy: "Bum knobs" is fairly Greek to us . Sandler wisheS he could play guitar like spence
	10:01am P-90: That Adam Sandler comment completely ruined the track for me, no going back after that
	👻 10:02am yerfriendpaul: Love the variety, Joe!
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Rex can have the Michael's Salad Memorial Playlist and Comments Board some upcoming Saturday.
	10:03am ifeelfatnsassy: Bowl of salad as your little badge for 2022 Marathon support?
	10:03am TDK60: You've really brought it, DJ Michael.
	10:04am Daybreak: Thanks to the New State Graduation test for allowing me to listen much later than usual.
	👻 10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Daybreak feel better to you and your household!
	10:06am Daybreak: Young Woman…share your fire 🔥 with me…they call me Sand⏳
	👻 10:06am MasterofPuberty: His Master's Voice..."Her Daddy's Label"
	10:07am Creature Boy: The Beau Brummels do a GREAT version of "Boots"
	10:07am Handy Haversack: This is a great prize!
	10:07am eric from lake hiawatha: Years ago Inflatable Squirrel Carcass played an entire show of Bang Bang covers. Riveting.
	10:08am Tim 07030: This Nancy Sinatra compilation is great.
	10:08am Daybreak: Tarantino introduced me to this one! Lively and haunting. I forget which film.. “kill bill” given the content?
	10:08am dale: sonny could write a tune, i tell you what....
	10:09am Daybreak: Thank you Threemoons!
	10:09am Erin in TO: @Daybreak Yeah it was Kill Bill, that's where I first heard it too
	10:10am dale: i wonder if a cowboy in sweden exists somewhere. was it a tv movie over there?
	10:11am Creature Boy: The Brummels' Sal Valentino can be heard exclaiming "Get 'em boots" on their version
	10:15am Bryant in TO: Morning, all! @Daybreak @Erin Yeah, hearing "Bang Bang" reminds me that one of the ways I try to get friends into FMU is telling them it plays a lot of songs that would fit in to Tarantino movies. That's my hook for them, at least. Another way I'd put it is that it plays a lot of cool stuff, but in a way that champions enthusiasm over self-conscious coolness
	10:15am rx scabin: Good morning, Joe, Michael, and everyone.
	10:16am Erin in TO: @Bryant I got hooked by a friend. He turned me on to Wake & Bake, and it's snowballed from there. It feels like I spend like half of every day with WFMU on
	10:16am ParUbi: Good morning guys, I like that metaphor
	10:18am Creature Boy: Sonny Curtis wrote I Fought The Law
	👻 10:19am nortonjutland: thank you Joe and Michael. wfmu has opened my mind so far, it's now inside out! i love it.
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I am richer, widened, and opened by WFMU. I do not think there's a real way to pay back all that I have received from the station. It's too much a true gift -- offered for the sake of the offering. So pledging what we can once a year feels both inadequate but also very necessary to show both my internal panic-judge of limited resources and the rest of the lousy capitalist, corporatist, colonialist world that this is what I value. In short: continued amazed thanks for all this station gives us.
	10:20am steveo: well said, Handy
	10:20am Glorious Estephonic: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	10:21am Grouse: I think that was an attempted Joseph Spence reference: I bid you good morning. I love WFMU, but it's Surface Noise I love the best. vs. I love you, but Jesus loves you best. I bid you good night, good night, good night.
	10:22am Stanley: "Doesn't matter it's WFMU"!
	10:22am Bryant in TO: @Erin I spend about that amount of time, too. I got introduced about a decade ago by a college prof telling me about the Best Show. Took a while to get into a few more of the shows (ToT, Dave the Spazz, Shut Up Weirdo), but once I let other shows wash over me, the love grew.
	10:23am Stanley: Re: Handy's comment. "Stick it to The Man - Pledge to WFMU"
	👻 10:25am Marley P. Dogg: Well said Handy
	10:25am Creature Boy: Get 'em boots!
	10:25am Handy Haversack: If you're not wearing your Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Media Pigs! T-shirt to every political press conference you can crash, then there's more you can do!
	10:26am Tim 07030: If you need any confirmation that FMU runs on a shoestring, just check out the chairs at the station.
	10:28am Brendan: This is giving me Riverdance restless leg syndrome.
	10:28am Creature Boy: Damn. Git it Richard
	👻 10:32am LW Rhino: Hi Joe and Michael.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: Stanley!
	10:33am Grouse: Soak Joseph Spence!
	10:33am jinjabredboy: Yay! Stanley
	10:34am Creature Boy: 45s sound so good
	10:34am sinner: I am having so much fun reading through y'alls posts.
	10:35am Daybreak: Damn Handy, I missed that shirt, one of my neighbors has it, and I don’t think it is in the Prize Vault, but I will scour through it when I update my pledge total now that I’ve blown past “secret society” with small extra pledges and get to pick more swag. I keep saying that I’m tapped out, but damn that Nancy Sinatra almost pulled me back in. If I hadn’t gone nuts on Rock-n-Rollar Derby…
	👻 10:35am tadpoles: 45s...the slab of plastic that I do hope lasts forever!
	👻 10:36am DjLorraine: Tim 07030 i listen for Micah's chair squeaks in MoMC
	10:41am steveo: ooh, that song recognition applause :D
	10:41am ratso: Single File is one of my favorite segments all week long
	10:41am Artie: Ella doing her best Phyllis Diller impression here.
	10:42am Beneath the Underground: Yowza. I love Ella but this is painful.
	👻 10:42am tadpoles: #Artie....I thought it was Mae West at first.
	10:42am steveo: infinite key changes!
	10:42am Handy Haversack: I don't see it in the Prize Warehouse or the store, Daybreak. Maybe it will come back to the store in a reprint soon.
	10:43am Artie: Not exactly the clear and bright sounds of "Tisket a Tasket".
	10:43am Tim 07030: This needs some scatting
	10:46am Creature Boy: Always prefer Sandy Nelson at 45rpm
	10:46am Erin in TO: @Bryant I've been surprised at some of the shows that have become faves. I used to kind of hate Techtonic but it's a must-listen for me now, and I love Dance With Me Stanley a ridiculous amount
	10:46am Listener Baby: Hello fellows!
	10:46am Stanley: Hey jinja Greetings from the Northside
	10:46am Creature Boy: Didn't realize he passed away
	10:47am anders: That mellow Kevin Ayers groove….
	10:47am Brendan: I thought I saw Ella live once. But it was Memorex. Either way she shattered all of my wine glasses.
	10:48am Bryant in TO: @Erin Haha, I adopted Stashu last year I love her show so much. Fills the role Shut Up Weirdo used to have, kicking off the weekend.
	10:49am Erin in TO: @Bryant that's exactly it. She comes on after work on a Friday just so filled with joy and upbeat music, it's the perfect start to a Friday night, despite the fact I'd never listened to polka in my life
	10:49am Tim 07030: I saw Ella at Carnegie Hall and her parting words were ‘keep buying those compact discs!’
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Single File: It's the (w)hole that is the important thing.
	👻 10:50am karlward: Still waiting for that all-punk Surface Noise episode
	10:50am G: @Handy: That's a big (w)hole.
	👻 10:50am karlward: "Who gave all those harps to those punk rockers?"
	10:51am Michael Shelley: HEY BABY!
	10:53am Bryant in TO: @Erin That's another way I've described the station to people. I didn't realize how FUN polka is until I started listening to Stashu. It's a show and a station with personality/ies
	10:53am Listener Baby: You’re doing great, Baby!
	10:54am Erin in TO: @Bryant it's the DJ's personalities and their love for what they're playing that make every show at least interesting, even if I don't love what they're playing
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, Baby!
	10:55am Listener Baby: Handy!
	10:55am rx scabin: Each show on WFMU is like an autobiography of the DJ.
	10:59am Sam: I got hooked on polka from a show on WVKR Vassar College Poughkeepsie when I was a teenager. It seemed super exotic back then and super ironic to be listening to it as a "hip" teenager. Now it feels totally normal to unwind with a neurotic high energy polka show Friday evenings!
	10:59am Bryant in TO: I started going through old episodes of Edison's Attic this weekend (I mean, I guess they're all old episodes). It made me realize how important the archives are. The library of music the station has made available for free is immense (and very much not free)
	11:00am Joe McG: It's a kind of pretty, sunny morning today, but these midnight moods songs will suit you fine when the night time comes!
	11:01am spacecadet: A wonderful way to start my morning, turning up my radio here in Colorado.
	11:02am P-90: PLEDGE FOR MORE DORIS!
	11:02am Listener Alexandra: These sounds are perfect for the 7 am PST hour. Love it!
	11:03am Bryant in TO: I get that, Sam. At first I approached polka a little ironically but the high energy is infectious and demands you let your guard down
	11:05am Handy Haversack: More great prizes. Is this Myriam Gendron an LP? I have it on cassette, and it's fantastic. First heard right hear on Surface Noise from the great Joe McGasko!
	11:06am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh my friend Elizabeth Butters used to sing this one- so gorgeous. Good morning Joe McGasko!
	11:06am Joe McG: @Handy: CD, alas, I don't even know if the vinyl is available yet! Hi, RBR!
	11:07am LCBD: Beautiful song. I've been listening but just got to the computer to comment. What an excellent show! And so nice to see many glistener friends here too!
	👻 11:09am karlward: Scott Williams got me on hat Myriam Gendron, her version of "Shenandoah," oh man that is something great indeed.
	11:09am Listener Baby: Joe. Michael Shelley love’s Genesis. Little known fact.
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Oh, hotsie motsie. Joe is pulling no punches this morning! Knocking me down on! Fortunately, the Surface Noise is a warm and friendly place to land.
	👻 11:09am karlward: hat -> that
	11:09am Handy Haversack: If you and Scott Williams have secret Myriam Gendron hats, I'm going to be very jealous, karlward.
	11:10am Mike Sin: Just rolled in to catch the final hour! Pledge to keep nice guys on the air by showing support of Gentleman Joe McG! And then become a swag-for-life member and walk around wearing nothing but an apron, oven mitt, and a pot holder! My new kitchen outfit!
	11:10am Erin in TO: What a beautiful set this has been
	11:12am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh that book sounds great. Hey LCBD!! Pledged for YOU on Friday! Hey Handy and all the pals <3
	👻 11:12am karlward: That 7SD show was amazing
	11:13am Erin in TO: I missed that 7SD but selected the DVD for one of my premiums
	11:13am ratso: Hey LC, I called in Friday, but didn't get you on the phone!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: Jealous you were there, karlward! We had some kind of conflict. I asked Ken, and the FGH theme song is not going to be on the 7SD DVD. Disappearing into the ether ...
	11:16am P-90: I NEVER once met a streaming service that can predict what I will like. WFMU DJs do it on the daily.
	11:17am Handy Haversack: As listener fred so perfectly put it: "I listen to WFMU to like what I hear, not to hear what I like."
	11:18am P-90: PLEDGE to keep Joe McGasko CHAINED TO HIS COMPUTER!
	11:18am Handy Haversack: Hey, Rachel! Didn't see you up there! And Mike Sin! I finally figure out how to wear three oven mitts, just like you! One gets taped to my chin, right?
	11:18am goldenrules: WFMU is at least as valuable as any museum.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe and Michael, and all the pledgers.
	👻 11:18am yerfriendpaul: Handy - I like that. That's a good way of thinking about it
	11:19am ratso: @yerfriendpaul, I hope you mean his quote from fred and not his oven mitt technique
	11:19am P-90: Congratulations @ Louis in Oscar Madison!
	11:19am LCBD: Hi ratso, I saw that - was sad that Jim the Poet took your call. I hope you are well!
	👻 11:20am yerfriendpaul: ratso - ha ha - yes, the Fred quote
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Carmichael, I have been waiting for all the Richard Thompson to summon you! Paul, ratso, youse are just jealous of me and Mike Sin and our mad accessorizing skillz!
	11:21am LCBD: Hey Joe, that was me, LCBD (Laurie in Stamford.) You were eating your breakfast when Clay P and I joined you at the table. One more thing: I love the letter home that you shared in your email. Wonderful!
	11:22am Bryant in TO: @Handy Thank you for remembering who said that! (I thought it was you!) I've used that perfect, elegant description a lot when telling people about the station
	11:22am ?: Myriam Gendron, lp or cd?
	11:22am Carmichael: Holy cow, so much RT on one show. He is still alive, isn't he ... ?
	11:22am Erin in TO: I'd not heard of Myriam Gendron before today's show, but I think I love her now
	11:23am Joe McG: @LCBD: Oh, sorry I didn't compute, Laurie! Thanks for saying hi!
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: Who is able and willing to adopt WFMU's Swag Warden? www.flickr.com...
	11:24am Rachel Bo Bachel: LCBD the station is so lucky to have a friend like you 🍀
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Bryant, I think fred said it around Marathon last year? On Bryce's show, if I recall. His new book is part of the grand prize, Carmichael! Don't worry! @?: On CD.
	11:24am ratso: @Handy, at least you didn't go with the more obvious, but cruder, option for the 3rd mitt.
	11:25am LCBD: Rachel, that goes double for you❣️
	11:26am MarionFrenchie: thank you fot this great discovery of Myriam Gendron!
	11:26am goldenrules: wow, Molly Drake is an excellent choice of follow-up.
	11:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: ratso!
	11:28am Bryant in TO: @goldenrules I'd say WFMU is better than most museums. At the Royal Ontario Museum, one of the mineral exhibits has a plaque talking about how you can thank Canada's mining companies for the wealthy society you have and don't you forget it. Just thank us and keep your mouth shut. Won't find that crap here.
	11:28am P-90: “Swag Warden”’! Very cool. I also like SWAG WRANGLER for many reasons, not least because it sounds EVEN MORE like the name of a ‘70s gay porn star…
	11:28am ratso: RBB!
	11:28am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael my bro just saw him in Santa Cruz :D
	11:29am Carmichael: I was there, Rachel!
	👻 11:30am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW loving the mellow vibes of today's show. Melancholy but fits the mood perfectly....
	11:31am Rachel Bo Bachel: Ooh Joe speaking of St. Paddy’s Day did you ever find that version of Gypsy Laddie by David Hammond and Donal Lunny? Not like you’ve been busy or anything… :D
	11:31am goldenrules: @Bryant yeah, I can imagine. in any case, I wish that everyone who likes to see things like museums as cultural institutions would recognize WFMU as such, too.
	11:32am Officer Pupp: Two of my favourite WFMU DJs in the same show!
	11:33am Lewis: The formula for pi is to divide the circumference of a circle by that circle's diameter. Turns out that Pi is irrational, sort of like much of WFMU...
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Bryant in TO: I hear you RE the oddly perverted relationship between BigCorp and the arts. Hell, they're STILL debating at some museums whether to take the Sackler name off of certain galleries. And when I went to see the Basquiat show years ago at the Brooklyn museum, there was a HUGE "Brought to you by Pfizer" sign in the lobby and at the main entrance to the exhibit--I mean a full, laser-cut 2" thick 3' long lozenge of the corporate logo. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF.
	11:33am Rachel Bo Bachel: Carmichael RIGHT you are my Bay Area buddy!!! How was the show??
	👻 11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I think someone needs to bake a WFMU pie. What would the filling be?
	11:34am P-90: If you haven’t heard Tamar, check out her archives, you’ll thank me
	👻 11:34am Ken From Hyde Park: @Threeemoons - There would be bits of marbles from the blender, at the very least.
	👻 11:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And speaking of Pi/e - running joke in the family -- whenever my Mom makes chicken pot pie/turkey pot pie I ALWAYS ask if she put enough pot in it. Feel free to steal.
	11:36am efd: Darn tootin’ it works!
	11:37am Grouse: wow Phoenixville! home to the beautiful Colonial Theatre and Blobfest!
	11:38am P-90: @Theeemoons: I worked at Lincoln Center for years, got an illuminating education on the relationship between “BigCorp and the arts”
	👻 11:38am Webhamster Henry: I have to say, I'm liking this Joe McG / Michael S conversation.
	11:39am Handy Haversack: I have been thinking the same thing, Webhamster H. I'm a jaded NYer and world-weary poseur, but this is a combo that has me smiling and leaning in close to the speakers. What a great show today.
	11:41am P-90: PLEDGE for “after Sunday we won’t be talking about money”
	11:44am Lewis: Sammi Smith is a greatly overlooked sanger...
	11:44am morphe': Thanks, Joe and Michael and all !!!!!
	11:44am Bryant in TO: @Threemoons There were a couple years where I thought maybe this is just the way it has to be, that it's just modern patronage like during the Renaissance. Nope nope nope. There are alternatives. There are always alternatives possible. BigCorp just doesn't want you to have that hope. To hell with their reputation laundering guillotine insurance.
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: oh man lonely one should meet nature boy
	👻 11:46am yerfriendpaul: Nat King Cole's voice. Holy mackerel it's so good
	11:46am P-90: @YETI: yes!
	11:46am Listener Baby: The beauty of a valve trombone. Let’s bring them back.
	11:47am Joe McG: We're getting close, folks, only 20 more pledges needed! Help me get to my goal by hour's end of 150 pledges!
	11:48am Carmichael: @Rachel, fantastic as always. Got a rousing ovation for Vincent Black Lightning.
	11:49am PMD: @Threemoons I like the pot pie joke...
	11:49am Officer Pupp: Oof this Nat King Cole track is incredible!
	11:49am steveo: good ear Baby, thanks for that insight
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rather like Nat's early Piano Trio business ...but I suppose he Sing purty too...
	11:50am P-90: lovely Hambro & Heller tune
	11:53am Listener Baby: @Steveo it also helps if Juan Tisol is playing one.
	11:54am steveo: Here's a photo of Juan Tizol i.discogs.com...
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Joe, this was a fantastic show! Really highlighting the best of what WFMU offers. So good. Many thanks -- and to Michael, too! YETI BOB! Bryant!
	11:54am steveo: (i was already looking it up :)
	11:55am Jason from Houston: Fine sounds! ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	11:55am P-90: The Week After the Marathon is always something special to savor
	👻 11:55am 12539: Thanks, Joe and Michael! (and pledgers)
	11:55am Grouse: Seven Days of Bryce. I'd pledge to that!
	11:55am Clinto: Thanks pledgers! Had a ball on the phono
	11:56am P-90: PLEDGE for Enchsagna!
	11:56am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Alexandra in Llano! Sairie is so good.
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Cheers, Llano!
	11:56am dreamyandseedy: obsessed with Sairie and i can't believe i had never heard of Trees! thank you so much!
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Cheers to you, Handy!
	11:56am LCBD: Hear hear Handy!!
	11:56am Clinto: Lazzechelada
	11:57am dreamyandseedy: Michael Shelley knows how to pronounce Llano ;)
	11:57am Handy Haversack: No, Jason, all the cheers are already on their way to YOU! Michael Shelley knows all!
	11:58am βrian: Irene is ensconced on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:58am Brendan: Thanks dudes
	11:58am Jason from Houston: I always do Laahhh-No.
	11:59am Rob Lowebrau: Aka Robert from Buffalo here. I love you guys
	11:59am Dayffid: Trembling bells also good
	11:59am Handy Haversack: I hear YOU, LCBD! See you great Surfactants at the Next Joe Up's place, I hope!
	11:59am Dayffid: In a similar vain
	11:59am Bryant in TO: Great show today! So good!
