	2:06pm Michael Shelley: DD - did you know Jim Keltner plays on "She's Just Mt Style" - I was just was reading this interesting interview: "At the beginning of the Gary Lewis ‘Just My Style’ recording session, Leon said, ‘Don’t play any fills. Not even one fill.’ And I understood that instinctively. I thought, ‘This is the way rock ‘n’ roll singles are made.’ He asked for a fill just at the beginning. And I did it. Then he said, ‘Can you do that backwards?’ And, I thought, ‘Oh yeah. I can do that. That’s cool.’... Right around that time I had begun to realize that playing rock ‘n’ roll was not just for morons.

	2:28pm Stu Rutherford: Thank you, myron & AtlanticTunnel!
	2:28pm Jon Graboff: @ Dennis. where was this version of Here Today recorded and who played on it?
	2:28pm Dennis Diken: hey Jon Graboff and myron - good to hear, I really dig NYR&RE!
	2:28pm Stu Rutherford: Hello WLSClark!
	2:29pm WLSClark: Omnivore! Great label!
	2:30pm LesleyK: hi WLSClark! i gotta get back to work here ,but will be listening!
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - yeah, I thought it might be Jim K on that track - he's pictured on the LP cover of She's Just My Style and I knew he cut his LA studio teeth w GL&P. remind me to tell you about the time I met Keltner!
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - thanks, great to meet you too! @Stu Rutherford - good luck tonite! ALL DENIZENS PLEASE TUNE IN!!
	2:32pm Jon Graboff: This Wes song kinda reminds me of Mose Allison's "Was"… lyrically mostly. If you all don't know that song, check it out
	2:33pm MOM WHIG: F2 that is good news. Hey there WLS too
	2:33pm Stu Rutherford: Thanks, Dennis! wfmu.org...
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - Wes does "Was"!
	2:33pm WLSClark: That is a very cool textured pic sleeve and the song, well, cant go wrong with this group!
	2:34pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: ah ha!
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: I recorded a pretty cool version of Was with Amy Allison. Love that song… and Amy too!
	2:35pm WLSClark: More Brian Wilson work!
	2:36pm Jon Graboff: Wow. You hit 1972 and drum sounds totally changed!
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - glad you're here! @Jon Graboff - an almighty drum sound, eh?
	2:39pm AtlanticTunnel: Really nice vibey set!!!!!
	2:39pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Now that I think about it, Ringo's drum solo on Abby Road lead the way for that pretty dead non-verby drum sound, right?
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I always felt it was "Blue Monday" by Fats Domino (1956), meself....
	2:42pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: Hmm. As always, you've dug deeper!
	2:43pm Fatherflot: Hey WLS, Lesley, Dennis, Ed, etc
	2:43pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: You dig?
	2:44pm LesleyK: hey F2!
	2:45pm Reechie: I have a nice Tijuana Brass version of "Pretty World"...doesn't surprise me that Herb and Sergio cut a lot of the same songs.
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yeah, check out the Fats tune - the snare sound on that is a bit of an anomaly for its tyime. but yeah,, prob it was Starr on Abbey Road setting the scene for 70s tubs sounds. hope you dug your Fuller stash! by request!
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: what's your take on the long standing rumor that Barry White played on I Fought The Law. As you well know, there's the main drum part and the squelched high hat part. Must have been recorded at the same time I reckon?
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Reechie - indeed, not surprising!
	2:49pm Joe B: hey Dennis!
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi MOM WHIG!
	2:50pm Yod Crewsy: Hi Dennis and everyone! Happy humpday!
	2:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Warm Greetings WFMU Land!
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Yod & Joe - hi there PR1922
	2:52pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi MOM WHIG I’m very familiar with Sunrise Highway- be careful ridding yer bike on that road wow
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: HOLY MOLY - this Jimmy Reed groove - MAN!!
	2:53pm WLSClark: Leftover from marathon??!! ;)
	2:56pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: remember that Amy Rigby gig we did in Nashville and Spooner was in the crowd? I sure do!
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - Barry White definitely played on some Bobby Fuller tracks, couldn't say which ones (nor could he when I asked him!), he was also a Mustang artist. shucks, I don't remember Spooner - was that at the Sutler? or Union Station? I did hang with him in Muscle Shoals in 2016.
	2:59pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: Union Station
	3:00pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: wasn't Barry White also an A&R man for Delphi/Mustang records at that time?
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I think just maybe you are correct!
	3:03pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: did you hang with Mr. White at a Paul Quinn College event?
	3:03pm Joe B: Geator Gold!
	3:03pm WLSClark: The BEST the Dells ever made!
	3:04pm WLSClark: Hey Joe B!
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @ Atlantic Tunnel (I owe you a call!) @Joe B @PaulRobeson1922 - WELCOME!
	3:07pm WLSClark: Jon, just looking back at what I missed at start. NYR&RE LP is awesome. "Beside You" and "Fields of Joy" are just so great 45s with longer LP versions too.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - re Bobby Vee "Here Today" - it's arranged by Leon Russell in '66 - so you can guess the rest, somewhat educatedly!
	3:09pm WLSClark: Edwin had that great way to yell and sing and sound perfect, while Levi wasn't allowed much of that freedom until he left Motown.
	3:11pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: re: Here Today. I suspected as much!
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - "you...you...you're good...naw, you..."
	3:15pm Jon Graboff: Hank Garland. There wasn't much this guy couldn't do on that git box!
	3:20pm Woo: Dee Clark's wail at the end of Raindrops is one of the best ever fade-outs
	3:20pm WLSClark: Woo, yeah indeed. Its like he is falling away from the mic!
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: hey Yod Crewsy!
	3:20pm Stu Rutherford: Thanks so much for the show mention, Dennis!
	3:21pm WLSClark: Stu, not to worry. Friends will be listening in!!
	3:24pm WLSClark: Dennis, do we know the singer here? Very sexy sound!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Im guessing she does NOT sing on "Wives and Lovers" unless they switch the lyrics somehow.
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @woo - no argument here! @Stu - sure, have a ball! @WLSClark - it's credited to Burt Bacharach - not sure if it was cut in NYC or LA? so can't really say - sounds like several voices, yes?
	3:28pm WLSClark: Certainly with the music of BB behind her, a bit like Dionne sound but not quite THAT good! haha
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: Just LUV The Searchers
	3:32pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Dennis - this is my Groove
	3:32pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Dionne did cut that song, yes? @MOM WHIG - at your service!! mine too!!!
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: The harmonies & the melodies just perfect
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: totally diggin' Gary Chester's groove on this Neil S stash!!
	3:33pm myron feld: Neil had a great guest spot on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast.
	3:34pm WLSClark: Dennis, I had no idea. BUT it figures since Bacharach song.
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: Waterloo Sunset. The best song ever? Cast your votes now!
	3:35pm Woo: Stunning version of Waterloo Sunset
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - it was tremendous!! man, I miss Gilbert!
	3:35pm Nezrok: Woo, it really is!
	3:35pm WLSClark: Jon, great song but dont go there! ;)
	3:38pm Jon Graboff: WLSClark. Can't help it. It's the question I ask myself every damn time I hear that song!
	3:39pm MOM WHIG: Dennis gotta head out to feed my son's cat - down the road - they left today for trip. Always a super pleasure to be here with all of you.
	3:39pm WLSClark: Jon, it's the question I ask myself everytime I hear one of my 1000+ fave 45s on my MP3 player in the car!
	3:39pm Stu Rutherford: Take care, Mom Whig!
	3:39pm WLSClark: Mom, take care!
	3:40pm myron feld: Bye, MOM!
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - thanks for tuning in and making the scene!
	3:40pm WLSClark: GREAT B side 45
	3:40pm Woo: In my 8th grade yearbook in 1972 I claimed I Am The Walrus as my favorite song. I really don't know if that's changed.
	3:41pm Gino 1: Got here late, hello DD!! Sounding great as usual—
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: howdy Gino 1!
	3:44pm Mike Sin: Coming in to join the modern world! Hi Dennis!

	3:48pm Michael Shelley: I emailed Glenn Tilbrook yesterday... no answer yet.
	3:48pm Woo: Smoke 'em if you got 'em
	3:49pm WLSClark: Denny's Den, not only great music but very educational!
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - tell him you heard him on Denny's Den - no doubt it'll speed up his reply!
	3:49pm Jon Graboff: Michael Shelley: he's quite the songsmith!
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: thanks Andrew In Toronto! thanks WLSClark!

	3:51pm Jon Graboff: The end of the show… now I can unrivet myself from my seat!
	3:53pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - not so fast, son!! @LesleyK @myron feld @Woo @WLSClark - THANKS!!

	2:34pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: ah ha!
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: I recorded a pretty cool version of Was with Amy Allison. Love that song… and Amy too!
	2:35pm WLSClark: More Brian Wilson work!
	2:36pm Jon Graboff: Wow. You hit 1972 and drum sounds totally changed!
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - glad you're here! @Jon Graboff - an almighty drum sound, eh?
	2:39pm AtlanticTunnel: Really nice vibey set!!!!!
	2:39pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Now that I think about it, Ringo's drum solo on Abby Road lead the way for that pretty dead non-verby drum sound, right?
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I always felt it was "Blue Monday" by Fats Domino (1956), meself....
	2:42pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: Hmm. As always, you've dug deeper!
	2:43pm Fatherflot: Hey WLS, Lesley, Dennis, Ed, etc
	2:43pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: You dig?
	2:44pm LesleyK: hey F2!
	2:45pm Reechie: I have a nice Tijuana Brass version of "Pretty World"...doesn't surprise me that Herb and Sergio cut a lot of the same songs.
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - yeah, check out the Fats tune - the snare sound on that is a bit of an anomaly for its tyime. but yeah,, prob it was Starr on Abbey Road setting the scene for 70s tubs sounds. hope you dug your Fuller stash! by request!
	2:48pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: what's your take on the long standing rumor that Barry White played on I Fought The Law. As you well know, there's the main drum part and the squelched high hat part. Must have been recorded at the same time I reckon?
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Reechie - indeed, not surprising!
	2:49pm Joe B: hey Dennis!
	2:50pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi MOM WHIG!
	2:50pm Yod Crewsy: Hi Dennis and everyone! Happy humpday!
	2:51pm PaulRobeson1922: Warm Greetings WFMU Land!
	2:51pm MOM WHIG: Good to see you here Yod & Joe - hi there PR1922
	2:52pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi MOM WHIG I’m very familiar with Sunrise Highway- be careful ridding yer bike on that road wow
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: HOLY MOLY - this Jimmy Reed groove - MAN!!
	2:53pm WLSClark: Leftover from marathon??!! ;)
	2:56pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: remember that Amy Rigby gig we did in Nashville and Spooner was in the crowd? I sure do!
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - Barry White definitely played on some Bobby Fuller tracks, couldn't say which ones (nor could he when I asked him!), he was also a Mustang artist. shucks, I don't remember Spooner - was that at the Sutler? or Union Station? I did hang with him in Muscle Shoals in 2016.
	2:59pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: Union Station
	3:00pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: wasn't Barry White also an A&R man for Delphi/Mustang records at that time?
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - I think just maybe you are correct!
	3:03pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: did you hang with Mr. White at a Paul Quinn College event?
	3:03pm Joe B: Geator Gold!
	3:03pm WLSClark: The BEST the Dells ever made!
	3:04pm WLSClark: Hey Joe B!
	3:07pm Dennis Diken: @ Atlantic Tunnel (I owe you a call!) @Joe B @PaulRobeson1922 - WELCOME!
	3:07pm WLSClark: Jon, just looking back at what I missed at start. NYR&RE LP is awesome. "Beside You" and "Fields of Joy" are just so great 45s with longer LP versions too.
	3:08pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - re Bobby Vee "Here Today" - it's arranged by Leon Russell in '66 - so you can guess the rest, somewhat educatedly!
	3:09pm WLSClark: Edwin had that great way to yell and sing and sound perfect, while Levi wasn't allowed much of that freedom until he left Motown.
	3:11pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis: re: Here Today. I suspected as much!
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - "you...you...you're good...naw, you..."
	3:15pm Jon Graboff: Hank Garland. There wasn't much this guy couldn't do on that git box!
	3:20pm Woo: Dee Clark's wail at the end of Raindrops is one of the best ever fade-outs
	3:20pm WLSClark: Woo, yeah indeed. Its like he is falling away from the mic!
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: hey Yod Crewsy!
	3:20pm Stu Rutherford: Thanks so much for the show mention, Dennis!
	3:21pm WLSClark: Stu, not to worry. Friends will be listening in!!
	3:24pm WLSClark: Dennis, do we know the singer here? Very sexy sound!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Im guessing she does NOT sing on "Wives and Lovers" unless they switch the lyrics somehow.
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @woo - no argument here! @Stu - sure, have a ball! @WLSClark - it's credited to Burt Bacharach - not sure if it was cut in NYC or LA? so can't really say - sounds like several voices, yes?
	3:28pm WLSClark: Certainly with the music of BB behind her, a bit like Dionne sound but not quite THAT good! haha
	3:31pm MOM WHIG: Just LUV The Searchers
	3:32pm MOM WHIG: Thanks Dennis - this is my Groove
	3:32pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - Dionne did cut that song, yes? @MOM WHIG - at your service!! mine too!!!
	3:33pm MOM WHIG: The harmonies & the melodies just perfect
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: totally diggin' Gary Chester's groove on this Neil S stash!!
	3:33pm myron feld: Neil had a great guest spot on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast.
	3:34pm WLSClark: Dennis, I had no idea. BUT it figures since Bacharach song.
	3:34pm Jon Graboff: Waterloo Sunset. The best song ever? Cast your votes now!
	3:35pm Woo: Stunning version of Waterloo Sunset
	3:35pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - it was tremendous!! man, I miss Gilbert!
	3:35pm Nezrok: Woo, it really is!
	3:35pm WLSClark: Jon, great song but dont go there! ;)
	3:38pm Jon Graboff: WLSClark. Can't help it. It's the question I ask myself every damn time I hear that song!
	3:39pm MOM WHIG: Dennis gotta head out to feed my son's cat - down the road - they left today for trip. Always a super pleasure to be here with all of you.
	3:39pm WLSClark: Jon, it's the question I ask myself everytime I hear one of my 1000+ fave 45s on my MP3 player in the car!
	3:39pm Stu Rutherford: Take care, Mom Whig!
	3:39pm WLSClark: Mom, take care!
	3:40pm myron feld: Bye, MOM!
	3:40pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - thanks for tuning in and making the scene!
	3:40pm WLSClark: GREAT B side 45
	3:40pm Woo: In my 8th grade yearbook in 1972 I claimed I Am The Walrus as my favorite song. I really don't know if that's changed.
