	2:06pm Woo: Hi to nezrok and Gerry and LesleyK. It's Manitoba time!
	2:06pm Gerry from Miami: Is this Handsome Dick Manitoba and his band?
	2:06pm Candy-O'67: Dictators! I have this CD Bloodbrothers - so good!!!
	2:07pm Candy-O'67: It is, Gerry, although I'm not sure if Dick was the singer then. I think it might have been someone else then?
	2:07pm LesleyK: Hey Candy! Thanks, hope you will like it! I'm gonna go back and listen to your show again this week .it was so good!
	2:08pm LesleyK: Hey Woo!
	2:08pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - oh yeah, one of my fave Small Faces tracks - I stole so much from Kenny Jones playing, especially from this recording!!
	2:08pm Candy-O'67: Oh, thanks so much, Lesley! Glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure yours is gonna be fantastic, too!
	2:08pm Dan from Peekskill: Greetings to Dennis and all my fellow listeners.
	2:09pm Candy-O'67: I think Dick was the singer then, Gerry.
	2:09pm Candy-O'67: Hey Dan
	2:09pm Dennis Diken: @Dan from Peekskill - welcome! Dick M is totally the singer on "I Stand Tall"
	2:11pm Stu Rutherford: Good afternoon, Dennis & everyone!
	2:12pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - glad you're here!
	2:13pm LesleyK: Is this your 100th show Dennis?
	2:13pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I think the Coca Cola corporation owns the Rock 'n' Soul stream. I heard Mr. Manitoba mention the drink in the lyric to that tune. And BUNNY, the Artificial Intelligence robot, drops tons of Coke ads when he is running the channel. What gives? WFMU is non-commercial, right?
	2:14pm Candy-O'67: The first time I saw the Dictators was at The Shake Down in Vegas in the early 2000's. I actually only discovered them when I was at that festival! I immediately bought the CD they had and was an instant fan! I've seen them plenty of times since then. One such time was when I was still drinking and saw them on a trip back to Houston when I still lived in CA around that time, they played at a small venue Rudyards, and we stayed after hours and partied with the band at the bar! I hardly remember that part, though - three sheets to the wind! haha!!!
	2:16pm LesleyK: That's cool Candy. I never saw them play. But spent some time at the bar Manitoba that he used to have in east village.
	2:16pm Gerry from Miami: @Candy-O'67. You were such a wild child back then!!
	2:17pm Candy-O'67: Wow, can't believe you never saw them, Lesley! I've been to Manitoba's! I went once with my girlfriend from Houston who was visiting NY with me and met a friend from New Jersey there when we were visiting my sis when she lived there in the early 2000's :)
	2:18pm Candy-O'67: Gerry, totally!!! haha
	2:20pm Dennis Diken: first saw Dictators in '76 at Club 92 (I think it was called?) on E4th St. we became fast friends w HDM, Top Ten and AS. they were kinda untouchable as a live band!!
	2:21pm Candy-O'67: That's so cool you knew them and saw them back then, Dennis!
	2:23pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - they were totally approachable and fun loving!
	2:23pm MOM WHIG: Hi there DD, Reechie, Candy, Andrew in T, nezrok, Lesley, Woo, Dan from Pk, Gerry from Miami,
	2:24pm Woo: Hey MOM WHIG!
	2:24pm Gerry from Miami: Rockpile! Only one album together. So very choice! Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds are rock gods!
	2:24pm LesleyK: Yeah I guess I really missed out ! 😭 Ah well! Hi Mom Whig!
	2:24pm Candy-O'67: Dennis, obviously they were - they partied with us kids at Rudyards! LOL We really weren't kids at that point, but ya know ;)
	2:24pm MOM WHIG: hey there Stu
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Hey Mom!! Good to see ya!
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Hey Stu!
	2:26pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, where does Dave Clark rank in your personal list of greatest rock drummers?
	2:26pm LesleyK: Gotta get back to work here...but will be tuned in and may jump back on chat later (started new job this week.. blah!).
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - welcome!
	2:27pm Candy-O'67: Have fun, Lesley! See you soon!
	2:27pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom & Candy!
	2:28pm MOM WHIG: See you later Lesley
	2:28pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - well, Bobby Graham was the drummer on the DC5 records - he's totally in my Top 10!
	2:28pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Mom!
	2:29pm Myron Feld: Hello Dennis and all Denizens! Sorry I’m late. Dennis, that was the 82 Club you saw the Dictators at — I was there as well. Saw them many, many times back then — definitely one of my top bands.
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, MOM WHIG! I'm a fan of Evan "Funk" Davies's show, but I almost always switch over at 2 pm on Wednesdays so I can listen to the full two hours of Denny's program.
	2:30pm Candy-O'67: Hey myron! That's so cool you saw them a ton back then, too :)
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - good luck on the fill-in! alright!
	2:31pm MOM WHIG: hi there myron feld
	2:32pm Candy-O'67: Dennis, I filled in for Flot last week. Here's the link if you missed it and want to check it out :) wfmu.org...
	2:33pm WLSClark: Mahhhleena!!!
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: thanks much, Candy-O, I shall! I've been away and a bit out of touch of late! alright!
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - quite a track, yeah?
	2:34pm Woo: No idea what language this is.
	2:34pm Candy-O'67: Cool, Dennis! Hope you enjoy it
	2:34pm WLSClark: Dennis, perfect bowling alley music! Hi Candy, Woo, MOM and all
	2:35pm Stu Rutherford: @Gerry & Dennis - Some of the DC5 records feature BOTH Dave Clark & Bobby Graham. Compare the mono & stereo mixes of "Can't You See That She's Mine". The stereo mix features Dave's pedestrian drum track only. The mono mix has both Dave's basic track sweetened with Bobby Graham's fills.
	2:35pm Woo: OK the picture has the answer!
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: There's your answer, Woo - I think! haha
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: Hey Clark!
	2:35pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, are we talking about the same band? I have never seen Bobby Graham's name in any profile of the Dave Clark Five. I am totally confused.
	2:36pm WLSClark: Stu, whoever wrote and played those drums for the DC5--they did a GREAT job!! haha
	2:36pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks for the clarification - so you & me might have partied back then?! were you there on 7/4/76 when they played til 4am to a largely empty house at 82?
	2:36pm Stu Rutherford: @Gerry - Bobby Graham was a session musician. That's why no credits.
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry - Bobby played on early Kinks records, Dusty Springfield, Them etc etc
	2:39pm ike-o: peace and greetings everyone
	2:39pm Gerry from Miami: Ah, I see. Thanks for the info, Stu! Another case of "Hal Blaine-ism." So I guess Dave Clark was not considered to be a great drummer.
	2:39pm Reechie: Dave Clark didn't want you to know about Bobby Graham. That's why you've never seen him credited.
	2:40pm Dan from Peekskill: God save the Kinks!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: this Kinks track has Bobby on tubs. Ray discusses his involvement in depth in X-Ray
	2:42pm Woo: Dave Clark is a mysterious man.
	2:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Reechie. And they still won't induct the Monkees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Pop and rock music couldn't have survived without all those great session musicians!
	2:44pm Woo: Gerry, I was just listening to the Monkees Headquarters today. It's a great injustice that they are not in the RRHOF but we could go on and on about that.
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: Bobby Graham played on countless beat era masterpieces, mostly obscure. but that is him on "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night"
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: DENNIS, even at my age, I am still learning new things about the music all us Denizens love.
	2:47pm nezrok: CONGRATS!
	2:47pm Reechie: Monkees don't need no Hall Of Fame, the HOF needs THEM!
	2:47pm Woo: Happy 100 Dennis!
	2:48pm Stu Rutherford: I was recently watching a clip of Bun E. Carlos talking about drum influences. Regarding Hal Blaine and Bobby Graham, he speaks of discovering that 3 or 4 of his favorite drummers were the same guy!
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - how true!!
	2:49pm Dennis Diken: thanks Woo and nezrok!
	2:49pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - ME TOO!!
	2:50pm Dennis Diken: @ike-o - welcome!
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: Bobby Graham was asked to sub for Ringo in Australia in '64 when he had his tonsils removed, but he declined! but I think it was Bobby who recommended Jimmy Nichol
	2:53pm Gerry from Miami: French lesson, DENNY! NEE is pronounced NAY. Means "born." By the way, today is also the birthday of Harrison Ford(80 years old, like McGuinn), Cheech Marin, Cameron Crowe and the "Cube" guy, Erno Rubik!
	2:53pm Myron Feld: Dennis, you don’t look a day over 98! Mazel tov! And yes, “Swinging’ Safari” was the theme song for the original version of The Match Game, early-mid 60s. One of my aunts was a contestant!
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks - news we can use! but I'll probably continue to say 'nee'!
	2:57pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks, my brother man! more news we can use!
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Bo Diddley(and the Duchess!) was the Homecoming Weekend entertainment my freshman year in college way back in the swingin' 60s. Love his cigar box-shaped guitar!
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: speaking of Handsome Dick's bar "Manitoba's" - the guest of honor on opening night was Freddie Blassie!! I was just coming off a nasty flu and there was horrible winter weather abounding - but indeed I braved it all to meet the great man!!
	3:01pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I didn't know you were a pencil-necked geek! LOL!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - sometime I wish I was!
	3:03pm Reechie: Not ashamed to admit that I first heard Creedence's cover of "99 & 1/2".
	3:04pm WLSClark: Last night on Drummer's "Way Home" show with Kris Holmes, he mentioned this incredible 1969 Stax box sessions with Emotions, Brook and Booker T classic. WELL worth checking out after the show: www.youtube.com...
	3:04pm Stu Rutherford: Same here, Reechie re: 99 1/2
	3:04pm MOM WHIG: WLS hey there
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - sorry, missed your comment before - yep ,it's the 100th Den! can you dig that?!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Hi MOM!!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Denny's 100th and BPN's 300th! What a week!
	3:05pm Gino1: Half way through the show but we made it! Hey all!
	3:06pm bobobobobob plasticland: @ Hey Dennis Your back ..how was Summerfest my former town I grew up in ..hope ok?
	3:06pm WLSClark: bobob, good to see your long name appear!
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: hi Gino I bobobob - hey there too Denny - Yes of course Happy 100th - an awesome week
	3:07pm Candy-O'67: Happy 100th, Dennis!
	3:07pm Candy-O'67: Hey bobobobob!
	3:10pm b0b0b0b0b0b0b: @@@hey WLS and Candy 0 Miss Whig Candy lemmie know and I'll git you a birthday list earlier this time
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - how cool re Bo at your high school function!
	3:12pm WLSClark: bobob, your 100th anniversary too??? ;)
	3:12pm Candy-O'67: bobob, I will if I fill in again or do another Drop In :)
	3:12pm Gerry from Miami: When I was young and poor during my college years, I always traveled between home and school by Greyhound Bus Lines. At stops all along the east coast, they always had these awful and overpriced Post House Cafeterias in the stations. But with jukeboxes! It seemed I was forever hearing Wilson Pickett songs, like "99 1/2." But mostly it was "Midnight Hour." The Wicked Mr. Pickett was one popular artist in those long-ago times.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @bobobobobob plasticland - Summerfeset was a gasser! @Gino1 - glad you're here! @MOM WHIG - thanks!!
	3:12pm WLSClark: Awesome song, Dennis!!
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - obliged!
	3:15pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, that was my COLLEGE Homecoming Weekend. In soulful Philly, 1964.
	3:16pm WLSClark: Wow, never knew about this Chicago area 45! Nice stereo too!!
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry - I stand corrected! @WLSClark - yeah, that 'Libras' track turned up on a comp. pretty cool!
	3:19pm LesleyK: Happy 100th!! ✨✳️💥
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @LeslyK - thanks! and that doesn't count the fill-ins I've been doing on WFMU since 1996!!
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - those Stax/Atlantic cuts sound amazing on jukeboxes!
	3:22pm WLSClark: Gerry, I think Wilson lost his way when he started doing songs like Hey Jude, Hey Joe, Sugar Sugar. He got it back about Engine #9 and Dont Let the Green Grass Fool You
	3:24pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, extra note on the Bo Diddley Homecoming appearance. The following year we had Dionne Warwick as the featured performer. But she was so drunk, they had to escort her out onto the stage and prop her up at the microphone. She still sang pretty well!
	3:24pm LesleyK: Wow, that's great Dennis! You're a pro!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - pro-schmo! but thanks!!
	3:28pm Gerry from Miami: @WLSClark. So right about Pickett. Glad he got back to making records that suited his talent..
	3:28pm Stu Rutherford: Happy 100th, Dennis! I'm celebrating my 10th tonight!
	3:30pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - congrats to you! as you know, time goes by very quickly, you'll be at 100 before you know it!
	3:32pm Stu Rutherford: Thank you, Dennis!
	3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: Congrats Dennis!
	3:34pm MOM WHIG: Stu - see you for your 10th later tonite. Denny - This has been AWESOME - Congrats once again Happy 100th. See you next week - taking off now.
	3:37pm WLSClark: Great song!!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto, @MOM WHIG - THANKS!!
	3:42pm Gerry from Miami: I tried several times to get BUNNY, the resident Artificial Intelligence robot here at the Rock and Soul stream, to play that great Skeeter Davis tune. Never happened. Thanks to you, Denny, for the spin!
	3:43pm myron feld: Ah, "Tonight!" One of the very best Move songs, and that, as the Velvelettes taught us, is really saying something.
	3:43pm WLSClark: So great that it was a 45 2 different years in a row on Capitol and UA 45s!!!
	3:44pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - my pleasure!
	3:45pm WLSClark: Gerry, yeah I think Bunny thinks you are saying "Brand New Key". Ugh
	3:45pm Gerry from Miami: Bob Bainen and Pete Tomlinson devoted their entire three-hour show last Saturday to music of the Move, ELO, Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne. On the Give the Drummer stream. Check it out in the Archives if you missed it. Great stuff.
	3:46pm WLSClark: Gerry, I dont do the archives but you MAY have "moved" me!
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yes! thanks for the reminder! I gotta give that a listen
	3:47pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!!
	3:47pm Gerry from Miami: WLSClark, you won't be disappointed!
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: Love this Del Shannon!
	3:48pm WLSClark: Gerry, that's a guarantee.
	3:49pm Candy-O'67: I'll have to check that out, Gerry! Love the Move and ELO! I played both of them on my fill-in for Flot last Thursday!
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - indeed, ANY Del Shannon is good Del Shannon!! now, THIS show was a list topper, one of the best EVER! @myron - were you there? feb 82
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto - thanks very much!
	3:50pm Candy-O'67: Heck yeah, Denny!
	3:50pm myron feld: Sadly, no. Who is/are the guitar player(s)?
	3:50pm Michael Shelley: Way to rock double D
	3:52pm Gerry from Miami: Everybody knows that Del Shannon was going to be Roy Orbison's replacement in the Traveling Wilburys, right? Unfortunately, he passed away too! Here in 2022, we have also lost George and Tom from that supergroup. Would have loved to hear what Del would have brought to the band.
	3:54pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - Del was a fine artist and I think he would've continued to give us good stash!
	3:54pm LesleyK: Great show Dennis!! Thanks for the cool tunes!!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - I'd need to research it but I think it was "an all-LA band", might've been Howie Epstein on bass
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - thanks, my brother! @Lesley K - THANKS! good luck tomorrow!
	3:56pm WLSClark: James Holvay penned a great Brian Hyland song that sounds just like Del singing, but came right at start of Beatlemania in 64. James and Brian wrote while on Dick Clark tour together. www.youtube.com...
	3:56pm Candy-O'67: My dog just went nuts with the doorbell ring! haha! He always does that! Standing at the front door now! LOL
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - i'll check it out - love my Hyland!
	3:57pm Candy-O'67: Thanks for a great 100th episode of Denny's Den, Dennis! Enjoyed it!!
	3:57pm WLSClark: Candy, like me when TV commercial with phone ring on it plays. Great show and congrats, Dennis! GROOVIN as your guest might sing.
	3:57pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, DENNY! See ya next week on show #101!
	3:57pm Candy-O'67: Haha, Clark!!
	3:57pm myron feld: Another great episode, Dennis! Thanks!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - that's a hoot!! @WLSClark - thanks so much! @Gerry from Miami - you too! and you too myron feld!
	3:58pm LesleyK: That's funny Candy!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: “THANKS TO ALL ‘DENIZENS’ BOTH OLD AND NEW – YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! 100 SHOWS?! COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!!”
	3:58pm Candy-O'67: And he's still there, Dennis! I'm crackin' up!
	3:59pm Candy-O'67: Sparky doesn't do that, Lesley?
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - too much!

	2:06pm Woo: Hi to nezrok and Gerry and LesleyK. It's Manitoba time!
	2:06pm Gerry from Miami: Is this Handsome Dick Manitoba and his band?
	2:06pm Candy-O'67: Dictators! I have this CD Bloodbrothers - so good!!!
	2:07pm Candy-O'67: It is, Gerry, although I'm not sure if Dick was the singer then. I think it might have been someone else then?
	2:07pm LesleyK: Hey Candy! Thanks, hope you will like it! I'm gonna go back and listen to your show again this week .it was so good!
	2:08pm LesleyK: Hey Woo!
	2:08pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - oh yeah, one of my fave Small Faces tracks - I stole so much from Kenny Jones playing, especially from this recording!!
	2:08pm Candy-O'67: Oh, thanks so much, Lesley! Glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure yours is gonna be fantastic, too!
	2:08pm Dan from Peekskill: Greetings to Dennis and all my fellow listeners.
	2:09pm Candy-O'67: I think Dick was the singer then, Gerry.
	2:09pm Candy-O'67: Hey Dan
	2:09pm Dennis Diken: @Dan from Peekskill - welcome! Dick M is totally the singer on "I Stand Tall"
	2:11pm Stu Rutherford: Good afternoon, Dennis & everyone!
	2:12pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - glad you're here!
	2:13pm LesleyK: Is this your 100th show Dennis?
	2:13pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I think the Coca Cola corporation owns the Rock 'n' Soul stream. I heard Mr. Manitoba mention the drink in the lyric to that tune. And BUNNY, the Artificial Intelligence robot, drops tons of Coke ads when he is running the channel. What gives? WFMU is non-commercial, right?
	2:14pm Candy-O'67: The first time I saw the Dictators was at The Shake Down in Vegas in the early 2000's. I actually only discovered them when I was at that festival! I immediately bought the CD they had and was an instant fan! I've seen them plenty of times since then. One such time was when I was still drinking and saw them on a trip back to Houston when I still lived in CA around that time, they played at a small venue Rudyards, and we stayed after hours and partied with the band at the bar! I hardly remember that part, though - three sheets to the wind! haha!!!
	2:16pm LesleyK: That's cool Candy. I never saw them play. But spent some time at the bar Manitoba that he used to have in east village.
	2:16pm Gerry from Miami: @Candy-O'67. You were such a wild child back then!!
	2:17pm Candy-O'67: Wow, can't believe you never saw them, Lesley! I've been to Manitoba's! I went once with my girlfriend from Houston who was visiting NY with me and met a friend from New Jersey there when we were visiting my sis when she lived there in the early 2000's :)
	2:18pm Candy-O'67: Gerry, totally!!! haha
	2:20pm Dennis Diken: first saw Dictators in '76 at Club 92 (I think it was called?) on E4th St. we became fast friends w HDM, Top Ten and AS. they were kinda untouchable as a live band!!
	2:21pm Candy-O'67: That's so cool you knew them and saw them back then, Dennis!
	2:23pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - they were totally approachable and fun loving!
	2:23pm MOM WHIG: Hi there DD, Reechie, Candy, Andrew in T, nezrok, Lesley, Woo, Dan from Pk, Gerry from Miami,
	2:24pm Woo: Hey MOM WHIG!
	2:24pm Gerry from Miami: Rockpile! Only one album together. So very choice! Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds are rock gods!
	2:24pm LesleyK: Yeah I guess I really missed out ! 😭 Ah well! Hi Mom Whig!
	2:24pm Candy-O'67: Dennis, obviously they were - they partied with us kids at Rudyards! LOL We really weren't kids at that point, but ya know ;)
	2:24pm MOM WHIG: hey there Stu
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Hey Mom!! Good to see ya!
	2:25pm Candy-O'67: Hey Stu!
	2:26pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, where does Dave Clark rank in your personal list of greatest rock drummers?
	2:26pm LesleyK: Gotta get back to work here...but will be tuned in and may jump back on chat later (started new job this week.. blah!).
	2:26pm Dennis Diken: @MOM WHIG - welcome!
	2:27pm Candy-O'67: Have fun, Lesley! See you soon!
	2:27pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom & Candy!
	2:28pm MOM WHIG: See you later Lesley
	2:28pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - well, Bobby Graham was the drummer on the DC5 records - he's totally in my Top 10!
	2:28pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Mom!
	2:29pm Myron Feld: Hello Dennis and all Denizens! Sorry I’m late. Dennis, that was the 82 Club you saw the Dictators at — I was there as well. Saw them many, many times back then — definitely one of my top bands.
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, MOM WHIG! I'm a fan of Evan "Funk" Davies's show, but I almost always switch over at 2 pm on Wednesdays so I can listen to the full two hours of Denny's program.
	2:30pm Candy-O'67: Hey myron! That's so cool you saw them a ton back then, too :)
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - good luck on the fill-in! alright!
	2:31pm MOM WHIG: hi there myron feld
	2:32pm Candy-O'67: Dennis, I filled in for Flot last week. Here's the link if you missed it and want to check it out :) wfmu.org...
	2:33pm WLSClark: Mahhhleena!!!
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: thanks much, Candy-O, I shall! I've been away and a bit out of touch of late! alright!
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - quite a track, yeah?
	2:34pm Woo: No idea what language this is.
	2:34pm Candy-O'67: Cool, Dennis! Hope you enjoy it
	2:34pm WLSClark: Dennis, perfect bowling alley music! Hi Candy, Woo, MOM and all
	2:35pm Stu Rutherford: @Gerry & Dennis - Some of the DC5 records feature BOTH Dave Clark & Bobby Graham. Compare the mono & stereo mixes of "Can't You See That She's Mine". The stereo mix features Dave's pedestrian drum track only. The mono mix has both Dave's basic track sweetened with Bobby Graham's fills.
	2:35pm Woo: OK the picture has the answer!
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: There's your answer, Woo - I think! haha
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: Hey Clark!
	2:35pm Gerry from Miami: Denny, are we talking about the same band? I have never seen Bobby Graham's name in any profile of the Dave Clark Five. I am totally confused.
	2:36pm WLSClark: Stu, whoever wrote and played those drums for the DC5--they did a GREAT job!! haha
	2:36pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks for the clarification - so you & me might have partied back then?! were you there on 7/4/76 when they played til 4am to a largely empty house at 82?
	2:36pm Stu Rutherford: @Gerry - Bobby Graham was a session musician. That's why no credits.
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry - Bobby played on early Kinks records, Dusty Springfield, Them etc etc
	2:39pm ike-o: peace and greetings everyone
	2:39pm Gerry from Miami: Ah, I see. Thanks for the info, Stu! Another case of "Hal Blaine-ism." So I guess Dave Clark was not considered to be a great drummer.
	2:39pm Reechie: Dave Clark didn't want you to know about Bobby Graham. That's why you've never seen him credited.
	2:40pm Dan from Peekskill: God save the Kinks!
	2:41pm Dennis Diken: this Kinks track has Bobby on tubs. Ray discusses his involvement in depth in X-Ray
	2:42pm Woo: Dave Clark is a mysterious man.
	2:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Reechie. And they still won't induct the Monkees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Pop and rock music couldn't have survived without all those great session musicians!
	2:44pm Woo: Gerry, I was just listening to the Monkees Headquarters today. It's a great injustice that they are not in the RRHOF but we could go on and on about that.
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: Bobby Graham played on countless beat era masterpieces, mostly obscure. but that is him on "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night"
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: DENNIS, even at my age, I am still learning new things about the music all us Denizens love.
	2:47pm nezrok: CONGRATS!
	2:47pm Reechie: Monkees don't need no Hall Of Fame, the HOF needs THEM!
	2:47pm Woo: Happy 100 Dennis!
	2:48pm Stu Rutherford: I was recently watching a clip of Bun E. Carlos talking about drum influences. Regarding Hal Blaine and Bobby Graham, he speaks of discovering that 3 or 4 of his favorite drummers were the same guy!
	2:48pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - how true!!
	2:49pm Dennis Diken: thanks Woo and nezrok!
	2:49pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - ME TOO!!
	2:50pm Dennis Diken: @ike-o - welcome!
	2:52pm Dennis Diken: Bobby Graham was asked to sub for Ringo in Australia in '64 when he had his tonsils removed, but he declined! but I think it was Bobby who recommended Jimmy Nichol
	2:53pm Gerry from Miami: French lesson, DENNY! NEE is pronounced NAY. Means "born." By the way, today is also the birthday of Harrison Ford(80 years old, like McGuinn), Cheech Marin, Cameron Crowe and the "Cube" guy, Erno Rubik!
	2:53pm Myron Feld: Dennis, you don’t look a day over 98! Mazel tov! And yes, “Swinging’ Safari” was the theme song for the original version of The Match Game, early-mid 60s. One of my aunts was a contestant!
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks - news we can use! but I'll probably continue to say 'nee'!
	2:57pm Dennis Diken: @Myron Feld - thanks, my brother man! more news we can use!
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Bo Diddley(and the Duchess!) was the Homecoming Weekend entertainment my freshman year in college way back in the swingin' 60s. Love his cigar box-shaped guitar!
	2:59pm Dennis Diken: speaking of Handsome Dick's bar "Manitoba's" - the guest of honor on opening night was Freddie Blassie!! I was just coming off a nasty flu and there was horrible winter weather abounding - but indeed I braved it all to meet the great man!!
	3:01pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, I didn't know you were a pencil-necked geek! LOL!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - sometime I wish I was!
	3:03pm Reechie: Not ashamed to admit that I first heard Creedence's cover of "99 & 1/2".
	3:04pm WLSClark: Last night on Drummer's "Way Home" show with Kris Holmes, he mentioned this incredible 1969 Stax box sessions with Emotions, Brook and Booker T classic. WELL worth checking out after the show: www.youtube.com...
	3:04pm Stu Rutherford: Same here, Reechie re: 99 1/2
	3:04pm MOM WHIG: WLS hey there
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - sorry, missed your comment before - yep ,it's the 100th Den! can you dig that?!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Hi MOM!!
	3:05pm WLSClark: Denny's 100th and BPN's 300th! What a week!
	3:05pm Gino1: Half way through the show but we made it! Hey all!
	3:06pm bobobobobob plasticland: @ Hey Dennis Your back ..how was Summerfest my former town I grew up in ..hope ok?
	3:06pm WLSClark: bobob, good to see your long name appear!
	3:06pm MOM WHIG: hi Gino I bobobob - hey there too Denny - Yes of course Happy 100th - an awesome week
	3:07pm Candy-O'67: Happy 100th, Dennis!
	3:07pm Candy-O'67: Hey bobobobob!
	3:10pm b0b0b0b0b0b0b: @@@hey WLS and Candy 0 Miss Whig Candy lemmie know and I'll git you a birthday list earlier this time
	3:11pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - how cool re Bo at your high school function!
	3:12pm WLSClark: bobob, your 100th anniversary too??? ;)
	3:12pm Candy-O'67: bobob, I will if I fill in again or do another Drop In :)
	3:12pm Gerry from Miami: When I was young and poor during my college years, I always traveled between home and school by Greyhound Bus Lines. At stops all along the east coast, they always had these awful and overpriced Post House Cafeterias in the stations. But with jukeboxes! It seemed I was forever hearing Wilson Pickett songs, like "99 1/2." But mostly it was "Midnight Hour." The Wicked Mr. Pickett was one popular artist in those long-ago times.
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @bobobobobob plasticland - Summerfeset was a gasser! @Gino1 - glad you're here! @MOM WHIG - thanks!!
	3:12pm WLSClark: Awesome song, Dennis!!
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - obliged!
	3:15pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, that was my COLLEGE Homecoming Weekend. In soulful Philly, 1964.
	3:16pm WLSClark: Wow, never knew about this Chicago area 45! Nice stereo too!!
	3:18pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry - I stand corrected! @WLSClark - yeah, that 'Libras' track turned up on a comp. pretty cool!
	3:19pm LesleyK: Happy 100th!! ✨✳️💥
	3:20pm Dennis Diken: @LeslyK - thanks! and that doesn't count the fill-ins I've been doing on WFMU since 1996!!
	3:21pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - those Stax/Atlantic cuts sound amazing on jukeboxes!
	3:22pm WLSClark: Gerry, I think Wilson lost his way when he started doing songs like Hey Jude, Hey Joe, Sugar Sugar. He got it back about Engine #9 and Dont Let the Green Grass Fool You
	3:24pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, extra note on the Bo Diddley Homecoming appearance. The following year we had Dionne Warwick as the featured performer. But she was so drunk, they had to escort her out onto the stage and prop her up at the microphone. She still sang pretty well!
	3:24pm LesleyK: Wow, that's great Dennis! You're a pro!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - pro-schmo! but thanks!!
	3:28pm Gerry from Miami: @WLSClark. So right about Pickett. Glad he got back to making records that suited his talent..
	3:28pm Stu Rutherford: Happy 100th, Dennis! I'm celebrating my 10th tonight!
	3:30pm Dennis Diken: @Stu - congrats to you! as you know, time goes by very quickly, you'll be at 100 before you know it!
	3:32pm Stu Rutherford: Thank you, Dennis!
	3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: Congrats Dennis!
	3:34pm MOM WHIG: Stu - see you for your 10th later tonite. Denny - This has been AWESOME - Congrats once again Happy 100th. See you next week - taking off now.
	3:37pm WLSClark: Great song!!
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto, @MOM WHIG - THANKS!!
	3:42pm Gerry from Miami: I tried several times to get BUNNY, the resident Artificial Intelligence robot here at the Rock and Soul stream, to play that great Skeeter Davis tune. Never happened. Thanks to you, Denny, for the spin!
	3:43pm myron feld: Ah, "Tonight!" One of the very best Move songs, and that, as the Velvelettes taught us, is really saying something.
	3:43pm WLSClark: So great that it was a 45 2 different years in a row on Capitol and UA 45s!!!
	3:44pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - my pleasure!
	3:45pm WLSClark: Gerry, yeah I think Bunny thinks you are saying "Brand New Key". Ugh
	3:45pm Gerry from Miami: Bob Bainen and Pete Tomlinson devoted their entire three-hour show last Saturday to music of the Move, ELO, Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne. On the Give the Drummer stream. Check it out in the Archives if you missed it. Great stuff.
	3:46pm WLSClark: Gerry, I dont do the archives but you MAY have "moved" me!
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - yes! thanks for the reminder! I gotta give that a listen
	3:47pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a great show!!
	3:47pm Gerry from Miami: WLSClark, you won't be disappointed!
	3:47pm Candy-O'67: Love this Del Shannon!
	3:48pm WLSClark: Gerry, that's a guarantee.
	3:49pm Candy-O'67: I'll have to check that out, Gerry! Love the Move and ELO! I played both of them on my fill-in for Flot last Thursday!
	3:49pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - indeed, ANY Del Shannon is good Del Shannon!! now, THIS show was a list topper, one of the best EVER! @myron - were you there? feb 82
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew in Toronto - thanks very much!
	3:50pm Candy-O'67: Heck yeah, Denny!
	3:50pm myron feld: Sadly, no. Who is/are the guitar player(s)?
	3:50pm Michael Shelley: Way to rock double D
	3:52pm Gerry from Miami: Everybody knows that Del Shannon was going to be Roy Orbison's replacement in the Traveling Wilburys, right? Unfortunately, he passed away too! Here in 2022, we have also lost George and Tom from that supergroup. Would have loved to hear what Del would have brought to the band.
	3:54pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - Del was a fine artist and I think he would've continued to give us good stash!
	3:54pm LesleyK: Great show Dennis!! Thanks for the cool tunes!!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld - I'd need to research it but I think it was "an all-LA band", might've been Howie Epstein on bass
	3:56pm Dennis Diken: @Michael Shelley - thanks, my brother! @Lesley K - THANKS! good luck tomorrow!
	3:56pm WLSClark: James Holvay penned a great Brian Hyland song that sounds just like Del singing, but came right at start of Beatlemania in 64. James and Brian wrote while on Dick Clark tour together. www.youtube.com...
	3:56pm Candy-O'67: My dog just went nuts with the doorbell ring! haha! He always does that! Standing at the front door now! LOL
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - i'll check it out - love my Hyland!
	3:57pm Candy-O'67: Thanks for a great 100th episode of Denny's Den, Dennis! Enjoyed it!!
	3:57pm WLSClark: Candy, like me when TV commercial with phone ring on it plays. Great show and congrats, Dennis! GROOVIN as your guest might sing.
	3:57pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, DENNY! See ya next week on show #101!
	3:57pm Candy-O'67: Haha, Clark!!
	3:57pm myron feld: Another great episode, Dennis! Thanks!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - that's a hoot!! @WLSClark - thanks so much! @Gerry from Miami - you too! and you too myron feld!
	3:58pm LesleyK: That's funny Candy!
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: “THANKS TO ALL ‘DENIZENS’ BOTH OLD AND NEW – YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! 100 SHOWS?! COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!!”
	3:58pm Candy-O'67: And he's still there, Dennis! I'm crackin' up!
	3:59pm Candy-O'67: Sparky doesn't do that, Lesley?
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 - too much!
