	2:06pm Jon Graboff: Gonna have to split in an hour. I actually have a zoom meeting about performing my Christmas record "For Christ's Sake" in Tuscon on December 10th. Our host, Dennis played no small part (pun intended) on it's creation!
	2:06pm MOM WHIG: Hi Dennis

	2:10pm myron feld: Hello all Denizens and DD! This is one of the very, very best Slade songs, and that is really saying something.
	2:11pm LesleyK: such a good Slade song-- i have the single! Hi Dennis and all! i am back from an upstate vacation adventure and happily tuned in this week!
	2:12pm Gerry from Miami: Who were Slade's top competition back in the day here in the US? KISS? Def Leppard?
	2:12pm WLSClark: Hi Dennis! GEEZ, just missed SLADE? Bummer.
	2:12pm Woo: Hi to Dennis, Andrew, MOM WHIG, Jon, Gerry, Jessie, bradford, myron, Lesley. Love Saturday's Child!
	2:13pm Jessie: David Gates of Bread wrote Saturday's Child I believe.
	2:13pm Woo: Gerry, I recall Slade not getting any airplay. I just saw them occasionally on TV. Did get to see them live once with 10cc as the opener. Early 70s.
	2:14pm WLSClark: Hi Woo, MOM, Gerry, myron, Andrew, Jessie and all!!
	2:14pm Gerry from Miami: Hey, Woo! Cool tunes so far!
	2:14pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi myron.
	2:14pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Woo!
	2:14pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi WLSClark.
	2:15pm Woo: Johnny had a great sound here. Wish more sounded like it.
	2:15pm Matt Clarke: Greetings Denny + Denizens! Great song from Winston
	2:16pm kev: Hi everybody
	2:16pm Gerry from Miami: Myron! Andrew! WLSClark! Jessie! No better place to rock on a Wednesday afternoon than the Den!
	2:16pm myron feld: hello Woo, WLS, MOM, D LesleyK, AIT, Gerry, Jessie, bradford Jon, Matt, Kev, and all future joiners!
	2:17pm myron feld: @Gerry: Woo is correct, Slade had no "competition" here because they didn't compete with anyone here. They were never big in the States.
	2:18pm myron feld: This Real Kids kills.
	2:18pm LesleyK: Hi Woo! i also love 'Saturday's Child'
	2:19pm MOM WHIG: Hi Woo, kev, Matt Clarke, myron feld, Lesley K
	2:19pm WLSClark: Hey Matt! Ready for Liverpool match? This song wants me to hear "Calling all Girls" by Hilly Michaels!
	2:19pm Matt Clarke: Hard to top this song when it's on! KaPow!
	2:19pm MOM WHIG: Lesley - did your folks get off ok to go back to Ohio?
	2:21pm Gerry from Miami: @myron. Precisely! US radio never gave Slade a fair shake. That's how the turntable spins in this biz.
	2:24pm Dennis Diken: hey now Andrew in Toronto, MOM WHIG, Jon Graboff, Gerry from Miami, Jessie, bradford, myron feld, LesleyK, WLSClark, Woo, Matt Clarke, kev - ho boy, so glad to see the gang here at the hang!
	2:24pm Andrew in Toronto: Hey Gerry!
	2:24pm Matt Clarke: Cool! Ed alert!
	2:25pm LesleyK: hi myron, Mom Whig!
	2:25pm LesleyK: Mom Whig- they are flying back right now!
	2:28pm WLSClark: Does this sound like Los Bravos??? Excellent. Sad news: Anita Kerr who produced all the great WLS jingles 60-67 has passed away.
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: 'Yon Denizens' - sorry for the glitch and brief delay at the top of the show. Slade - by request! @Gerry - hoping you and yours weren't affected by the hurricane.
	2:30pm LesleyK: yay, the Damned!!
	2:30pm Jessie: @Gerry from Miami--Noddy Holder and Jim Lea are quite happy with the royalty checks thanks to Quiet Riot covering their songs.
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - maybe I can come out and play on the "FCS" show?!
	2:33pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis Diken - depending on how this show goes, I'm brainstorming some big ideas about next year. Again, you'll figure in on a large scale!
	2:34pm Woo: Hey kev, Matt. MOM WHIG is your knee feeling better today?
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - by the way, I had all the aDat tapes transferred loaded into my rig here at home. So cool to hear some studio banter. Particularly Louis Appel's voice. RIP
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: Just popping in to say "hi" and I'm listening, but busy with work!
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld or anyone else - what Slade LP was "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" on - or was it only a single?
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: Woo - the Cortisone did some good along with draining the fluid. Still a bit uncomfortable, but better so far. thanks for asking
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: Candy - hey there
	2:36pm myron feld: I believe it's on Slayed
	2:36pm WLSClark: You wanna retire, get outta my way!
	2:37pm Jessie: @Dennis Diken--It was a non-album single released in 1973
	2:37pm WLSClark: Hi Candy!
	2:37pm Woo: Good to hear MOM WHIG. Love to hear some Steppenwolf besides BTBW and Carpet Ride. Have this on a 45.
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @Jessie - thanks! and you are correct re David Gates having penned "Saturday's Child" - @LesleyK - glad you dig that one too! welcome back!
	2:41pm Jon Graboff: Ah, Arthur Alexander. Some gems that guy came up with!
	2:41pm WLSClark: OK, you're pushing my buttons now, Dennis!!! BANKE on it!
	2:42pm myron feld: @Jessie & DD: I sit corrected. But -- I just pulled out my copy of "Sladest" (Reprise LP MS 2173) from '73, and it is track 5 on side 1.
	2:43pm Candy-O'67: Hey Mom, Clark, Woo, Jesie, myron, Lesley, Jon!
	2:43pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - meaning session tapes from "FCS"? ho man, I'd love to hear some of that stash! good times!
	2:43pm Wendy Fornatale: A fave for a couple of reasons!
	2:43pm Woo: Hey Candy-O!
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 welcome aboard!
	2:44pm myron feld: Hey there Candy-O!
	2:45pm WLSClark: Mom, THIS STUFF is better than Cortisone!
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis, yes. the original tracking sessions at Coyote Studio, Williamsburg (the old Williamsburg!)
	2:46pm Mike Sin: Sounds great! Spending my lunch listening to your show and getting my tires rotated (<--- quite literally, getting my car worked on -- that wasn't just some disgusting New Jersey slang!)
	2:46pm bradford: excellent quo selection!!!
	2:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Because we had no budget to speak of, and not eating up a lot of tape, the banter is mostly count-offs. But it's amazing how little we did in the mixing sessions. You just hit play and it pretty much sounds like the finished record!
	2:49pm Matt Clarke: Good to hear some Four Freshmen
	2:49pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Dennis! Sounding fabulous today!
	2:51pm Jessie: @myron field--I guess I consider that a compilation and not an album proper. But either way, we are both winners. :)
	2:51pm LesleyK: hey Candy-- working here too--hard to get back into it after a nice vacation.
	2:51pm WLSClark: 20 MPH winds causing me to see Autumn Leaves flying hard!! How cool!
	2:51pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - who arranged the backing accompaniment on these Four Freshman records?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Brian Wilson's strongest musical influence---those Fabulous Four Freshmen!
	2:54pm WLSClark: What a GREAT set of music!!
	2:54pm Matt Clarke: Sounding great, Denny!
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks for your concern, DENNY! Hurricane Ian passed the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area by. We dodged a bullet on this one!
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - thanks! The Freshmen so totally rule!
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - Pete Rugolo on this one...godlike....godlike, I say
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: Pop music lost a pioneer last Friday---the King of Oldies But Goodies compilations, Art Laboe, died at 97.
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: Mike Sin - hey, buddy!
	3:00pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - ah, sad news re Art Laboe. I think he was at the Rainbow every time I went there!
	3:01pm Candy-O'67: I hear you, Lesley! I had a good trip to New Orleans and North Louisiana, too!
	3:02pm WLSClark: Odd that no one has played Spoonful's "Money" this week due to it being Hellraiser week.
	3:02pm LesleyK: Candy--oh that's cool -sounds fun!
	3:03pm WLSClark: Careful Candy or they'll name a hurricane after you!
	3:03pm Matt Clarke: @Clark: We gotta save that March!
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - sorry to hear about Anita Kerr. we also recently lost Brooks Arthur who engineered tons of fabulous girl group rekkids and other fine stash at Mirasound Studio in NYC
	3:05pm MOM WHIG: Dennis heading out now - THANKS for the GREAT tunes.
	3:05pm Gerry from Miami: @WLSClark. Mark your calendar! Bob Brainen and Pete Tomlinson will be doing a 3-hour special devoted to the Lovin' Spoonful and their roots on Saturday, October 29.
	3:05pm Matt Clarke: Have a good day, Mom!
	3:05pm Jessie: @Candy-O'67--Did you guys have a chance to check out Euclid Records in New Orleans?
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: www.nytimes.com...
	3:05pm MOM WHIG: Matt thanks - you U-2
	3:05pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: That's appointment listening
	3:06pm WLSClark: Dennis, one good thing about all these RNR museums and halls is that we can give these great DJs and artists recognition even after they are long gone. We ALL add a little everytime we play these records.
	3:07pm WLSClark: Sometimes these tyep songs feel like I am ready for Kitschy mama's show on Thursdays!
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - I'm with you re Bob B & Pete T show!!
	3:09pm Gerry from Miami: @Matt Clarke, WLSClark and all other interested WFMU listeners---that Lovin' Spoonful special airs on the Give the Drummer Radio stream from 11AM to 2PM on the 29th of this month. Be there or be square!
	3:10pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: The only thing that could top it is Denny's Spoonful band playing the afterparty!
	3:11pm Candy-O'67: Jessie, I did not this trip. My sis lives there. So, when I have my car next time I go, I definitely will!
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - ha! mighty kind of you!
	3:13pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, Candy-O'67! Have you visited the Bunny recently here on the Rock 'n' Soul stream?
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Wendy Fornatale - hey, nice to see you here!
	3:13pm Jon Graboff: I had a nice conversation with Reggie Young about Arthur Alexander. He said he was the sweetest and soft spoken guy. Nice to hear.
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - news we can use! hey, was "FCS" cut directly to ADAT?
	3:16pm DA the DJ: Hi Denizens!
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: @DA the DJ - hey, man! TAST!
	3:17pm WLSClark: DA the DJ unpeeled!
	3:18pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - indeed it was cut directly into two borrowed ADAT machines! All overdubs done in my pad on W24th street except the saxes cause I couldn't make that much noise or I'd get complaints. And the violins were done in western Massachusetts with the guy who came up with that great title!
	3:18pm Jon Graboff: Hey DA!
	3:19pm Jon Graboff: Now we have half the FCS studio band in the den!
	3:20pm Matt Clarke: Greetings DA!
	3:20pm Jon Graboff: DA, I've been listening to the multi tracks of FCS. You played some wiggy stuff! nutty but so nice!
	3:21pm WLSClark: Tell Etta!
	3:23pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, saw the Temps in 1965 at the Tower Theater, 69th and Market Sts.in Philly, September of 1965. I think my college roommate and I paid 5 bucks each for a show that also featured Dyke and the Blazers("Funky Broadway"), the Five Stairsteps and Cubie("In a World of Fantasy") and three other acts. The Temps were ultra-impressive in their silver suits and singing into their custom 5-pronged microphone setup. Their choreography was incomparable, as always.
	3:23pm WLSClark: Chicago magic!!! Originally Hutchinson's Sunbeams. I worked with Cathy Hutchinson for 20 years. Great family!
	3:24pm Melanie Thiel: Hi Den! Digging the Lost Album. Mike dropped off a copy to me yesterday!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Melanie Thiel - thanks!! glad you're here!
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - WOW! wotta lineup! I bloody love the Tempts! our fellow Denizen Jon Graboff also saw them in the day in NJ
	3:28pm blip: Hey Den. Once I had a love and it was a gas. I should have guessed Ed Norton! Great show. Hi everyone.
	3:28pm Jon Graboff: Yes! I saw the 5 original Tempations at a movie theatre turned venue on Route 4 in Paramus of all places. It was my second "show". The first was the Blues Project. An afternoon show at Palisades Amusement Park of all places!
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: Cousin Brucie MC'd!
	3:31pm myron feld: @Jon: I hear Palisades swung all day and after dark.
	3:33pm Jon Graboff: @Myron - I'll tell you one thing about Palisades Amusement park, it was really nasty in daylight! ha
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @blip - hey hey! glad you could make the scene today!
	3:40pm Gerry from Miami: The late Scott Walker was certainly underappreciated during his life. A one-of-a-kind artist, for sure.
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - no argument here where Scott Walker is concerned!
	3:46pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Dinizzio and friends!! Love those drums, DENNY!
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks, but this is from Pat's solo album with Tony "Thunder" Smith on tubs
	3:47pm Wendy Fornatale: Happy Heavenly Birthday, Pat. You are missed!
	3:47pm Gerry from Miami: Sorry---one too many "z's" in Pat's surname! That was you on drums, DENNY, right?
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: Well, DENNY, I still have all my Smithereens LPs to hear your pin-point drum accompaniment.
	3:51pm Andrew in Toronto: Fabulous show! Thanks Dennis!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami @Andrew In Toronto - THANKS!!
	3:53pm WLSClark: Terrific show, Dennis!
	3:54pm LesleyK: great show Dennis...thank you!!
	3:55pm myron feld: Another top-notch program, Dennis -- as always! Thanks!
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark @LesleyK @myron feld - much obliged!!
	3:56pm Jessie: Another great show Dennis. Thank you so much.
	3:56pm bradford: Many thanks Dennis!
	3:58pm Jon Graboff: Thanks DD!
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jessie @bradford @Jon Graboff - DANKE SCHOEN!!
	4:00pm Dennis Diken: “’YON DENIZENS’! THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKIN’ THE SCENE IN ‘DENNY’S DEN’ TODAY! MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO PLEDGED TO WFMU’s OCTOBER HELLRAISER! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!”
	4:12pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Dennis! I missed about the last half hour. Had ortho doc appointment. Good news is no more brace. The bones on my wrist are healed! Just PT for a couple of more months!
	11:33am AtlanticTunnel: Hey Den - Wow. Slade and Rogers & Butler in the same set; you just made a grown man cry! Sorry I didn't catch it live; I was in the middle of nowhere with no reception. Cheers, E

	2:21pm Gerry from Miami: @myron. Precisely! US radio never gave Slade a fair shake. That's how the turntable spins in this biz.
	2:24pm Dennis Diken: hey now Andrew in Toronto, MOM WHIG, Jon Graboff, Gerry from Miami, Jessie, bradford, myron feld, LesleyK, WLSClark, Woo, Matt Clarke, kev - ho boy, so glad to see the gang here at the hang!
	2:24pm Andrew in Toronto: Hey Gerry!
	2:24pm Matt Clarke: Cool! Ed alert!
	2:25pm LesleyK: hi myron, Mom Whig!
	2:25pm LesleyK: Mom Whig- they are flying back right now!
	2:28pm WLSClark: Does this sound like Los Bravos??? Excellent. Sad news: Anita Kerr who produced all the great WLS jingles 60-67 has passed away.
	2:30pm Dennis Diken: 'Yon Denizens' - sorry for the glitch and brief delay at the top of the show. Slade - by request! @Gerry - hoping you and yours weren't affected by the hurricane.
	2:30pm LesleyK: yay, the Damned!!
	2:30pm Jessie: @Gerry from Miami--Noddy Holder and Jim Lea are quite happy with the royalty checks thanks to Quiet Riot covering their songs.
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - maybe I can come out and play on the "FCS" show?!
	2:33pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis Diken - depending on how this show goes, I'm brainstorming some big ideas about next year. Again, you'll figure in on a large scale!
	2:34pm Woo: Hey kev, Matt. MOM WHIG is your knee feeling better today?
	2:35pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - by the way, I had all the aDat tapes transferred loaded into my rig here at home. So cool to hear some studio banter. Particularly Louis Appel's voice. RIP
	2:35pm Candy-O'67: Just popping in to say "hi" and I'm listening, but busy with work!
	2:35pm Dennis Diken: @myron feld or anyone else - what Slade LP was "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me" on - or was it only a single?
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: Woo - the Cortisone did some good along with draining the fluid. Still a bit uncomfortable, but better so far. thanks for asking
	2:35pm MOM WHIG: Candy - hey there
	2:36pm myron feld: I believe it's on Slayed
	2:36pm WLSClark: You wanna retire, get outta my way!
	2:37pm Jessie: @Dennis Diken--It was a non-album single released in 1973
	2:37pm WLSClark: Hi Candy!
	2:37pm Woo: Good to hear MOM WHIG. Love to hear some Steppenwolf besides BTBW and Carpet Ride. Have this on a 45.
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: @Jessie - thanks! and you are correct re David Gates having penned "Saturday's Child" - @LesleyK - glad you dig that one too! welcome back!
	2:41pm Jon Graboff: Ah, Arthur Alexander. Some gems that guy came up with!
	2:41pm WLSClark: OK, you're pushing my buttons now, Dennis!!! BANKE on it!
	2:42pm myron feld: @Jessie & DD: I sit corrected. But -- I just pulled out my copy of "Sladest" (Reprise LP MS 2173) from '73, and it is track 5 on side 1.
	2:43pm Candy-O'67: Hey Mom, Clark, Woo, Jesie, myron, Lesley, Jon!
	2:43pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - meaning session tapes from "FCS"? ho man, I'd love to hear some of that stash! good times!
	2:43pm Wendy Fornatale: A fave for a couple of reasons!
	2:43pm Woo: Hey Candy-O!
	2:44pm Dennis Diken: @Candy-O'67 welcome aboard!
	2:44pm myron feld: Hey there Candy-O!
	2:45pm WLSClark: Mom, THIS STUFF is better than Cortisone!
	2:45pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis, yes. the original tracking sessions at Coyote Studio, Williamsburg (the old Williamsburg!)
	2:46pm Mike Sin: Sounds great! Spending my lunch listening to your show and getting my tires rotated (<--- quite literally, getting my car worked on -- that wasn't just some disgusting New Jersey slang!)
	2:46pm bradford: excellent quo selection!!!
	2:47pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis. Because we had no budget to speak of, and not eating up a lot of tape, the banter is mostly count-offs. But it's amazing how little we did in the mixing sessions. You just hit play and it pretty much sounds like the finished record!
	2:49pm Matt Clarke: Good to hear some Four Freshmen
	2:49pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Dennis! Sounding fabulous today!
	2:51pm Jessie: @myron field--I guess I consider that a compilation and not an album proper. But either way, we are both winners. :)
	2:51pm LesleyK: hey Candy-- working here too--hard to get back into it after a nice vacation.
	2:51pm WLSClark: 20 MPH winds causing me to see Autumn Leaves flying hard!! How cool!
	2:51pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - who arranged the backing accompaniment on these Four Freshman records?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Brian Wilson's strongest musical influence---those Fabulous Four Freshmen!
	2:54pm WLSClark: What a GREAT set of music!!
	2:54pm Matt Clarke: Sounding great, Denny!
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks for your concern, DENNY! Hurricane Ian passed the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area by. We dodged a bullet on this one!
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - thanks! The Freshmen so totally rule!
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - Pete Rugolo on this one...godlike....godlike, I say
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: Pop music lost a pioneer last Friday---the King of Oldies But Goodies compilations, Art Laboe, died at 97.
	2:58pm Dennis Diken: Mike Sin - hey, buddy!
	3:00pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - ah, sad news re Art Laboe. I think he was at the Rainbow every time I went there!
	3:01pm Candy-O'67: I hear you, Lesley! I had a good trip to New Orleans and North Louisiana, too!
	3:02pm WLSClark: Odd that no one has played Spoonful's "Money" this week due to it being Hellraiser week.
	3:02pm LesleyK: Candy--oh that's cool -sounds fun!
	3:03pm WLSClark: Careful Candy or they'll name a hurricane after you!
	3:03pm Matt Clarke: @Clark: We gotta save that March!
	3:04pm Dennis Diken: @WLSClark - sorry to hear about Anita Kerr. we also recently lost Brooks Arthur who engineered tons of fabulous girl group rekkids and other fine stash at Mirasound Studio in NYC
	3:05pm MOM WHIG: Dennis heading out now - THANKS for the GREAT tunes.
	3:05pm Gerry from Miami: @WLSClark. Mark your calendar! Bob Brainen and Pete Tomlinson will be doing a 3-hour special devoted to the Lovin' Spoonful and their roots on Saturday, October 29.
	3:05pm Matt Clarke: Have a good day, Mom!
	3:05pm Jessie: @Candy-O'67--Did you guys have a chance to check out Euclid Records in New Orleans?
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: www.nytimes.com...
	3:05pm MOM WHIG: Matt thanks - you U-2
	3:05pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: That's appointment listening
	3:06pm WLSClark: Dennis, one good thing about all these RNR museums and halls is that we can give these great DJs and artists recognition even after they are long gone. We ALL add a little everytime we play these records.
	3:07pm WLSClark: Sometimes these tyep songs feel like I am ready for Kitschy mama's show on Thursdays!
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - I'm with you re Bob B & Pete T show!!
	3:09pm Gerry from Miami: @Matt Clarke, WLSClark and all other interested WFMU listeners---that Lovin' Spoonful special airs on the Give the Drummer Radio stream from 11AM to 2PM on the 29th of this month. Be there or be square!
	3:10pm Matt Clarke: @Gerry: The only thing that could top it is Denny's Spoonful band playing the afterparty!
	3:11pm Candy-O'67: Jessie, I did not this trip. My sis lives there. So, when I have my car next time I go, I definitely will!
	3:12pm Dennis Diken: @Matt Clarke - ha! mighty kind of you!
	3:13pm Gerry from Miami: Yo, Candy-O'67! Have you visited the Bunny recently here on the Rock 'n' Soul stream?
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: @Wendy Fornatale - hey, nice to see you here!
	3:13pm Jon Graboff: I had a nice conversation with Reggie Young about Arthur Alexander. He said he was the sweetest and soft spoken guy. Nice to hear.
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: @Jon Graboff - news we can use! hey, was "FCS" cut directly to ADAT?
	3:16pm DA the DJ: Hi Denizens!
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: @DA the DJ - hey, man! TAST!
	3:17pm WLSClark: DA the DJ unpeeled!
	3:18pm Jon Graboff: @Dennis - indeed it was cut directly into two borrowed ADAT machines! All overdubs done in my pad on W24th street except the saxes cause I couldn't make that much noise or I'd get complaints. And the violins were done in western Massachusetts with the guy who came up with that great title!
	3:18pm Jon Graboff: Hey DA!
	3:19pm Jon Graboff: Now we have half the FCS studio band in the den!
	3:20pm Matt Clarke: Greetings DA!
	3:20pm Jon Graboff: DA, I've been listening to the multi tracks of FCS. You played some wiggy stuff! nutty but so nice!
	3:21pm WLSClark: Tell Etta!
	3:23pm Gerry from Miami: DENNY, saw the Temps in 1965 at the Tower Theater, 69th and Market Sts.in Philly, September of 1965. I think my college roommate and I paid 5 bucks each for a show that also featured Dyke and the Blazers("Funky Broadway"), the Five Stairsteps and Cubie("In a World of Fantasy") and three other acts. The Temps were ultra-impressive in their silver suits and singing into their custom 5-pronged microphone setup. Their choreography was incomparable, as always.
	3:23pm WLSClark: Chicago magic!!! Originally Hutchinson's Sunbeams. I worked with Cathy Hutchinson for 20 years. Great family!
	3:24pm Melanie Thiel: Hi Den! Digging the Lost Album. Mike dropped off a copy to me yesterday!
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: @Melanie Thiel - thanks!! glad you're here!
	3:27pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - WOW! wotta lineup! I bloody love the Tempts! our fellow Denizen Jon Graboff also saw them in the day in NJ
	3:28pm blip: Hey Den. Once I had a love and it was a gas. I should have guessed Ed Norton! Great show. Hi everyone.
	3:28pm Jon Graboff: Yes! I saw the 5 original Tempations at a movie theatre turned venue on Route 4 in Paramus of all places. It was my second "show". The first was the Blues Project. An afternoon show at Palisades Amusement Park of all places!
	3:29pm Jon Graboff: Cousin Brucie MC'd!
	3:31pm myron feld: @Jon: I hear Palisades swung all day and after dark.
	3:33pm Jon Graboff: @Myron - I'll tell you one thing about Palisades Amusement park, it was really nasty in daylight! ha
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: @blip - hey hey! glad you could make the scene today!
	3:40pm Gerry from Miami: The late Scott Walker was certainly underappreciated during his life. A one-of-a-kind artist, for sure.
	3:43pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - no argument here where Scott Walker is concerned!
	3:46pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Dinizzio and friends!! Love those drums, DENNY!
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami - thanks, but this is from Pat's solo album with Tony "Thunder" Smith on tubs
	3:47pm Wendy Fornatale: Happy Heavenly Birthday, Pat. You are missed!
	3:47pm Gerry from Miami: Sorry---one too many "z's" in Pat's surname! That was you on drums, DENNY, right?
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: Well, DENNY, I still have all my Smithereens LPs to hear your pin-point drum accompaniment.
	3:51pm Andrew in Toronto: Fabulous show! Thanks Dennis!
	3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Gerry from Miami @Andrew In Toronto - THANKS!!
	3:53pm WLSClark: Terrific show, Dennis!
	3:54pm LesleyK: great show Dennis...thank you!!

	3:56pm Jessie: Another great show Dennis. Thank you so much.
	3:56pm bradford: Many thanks Dennis!
	3:58pm Jon Graboff: Thanks DD!
	3:59pm Dennis Diken: @Jessie @bradford @Jon Graboff - DANKE SCHOEN!!
	4:00pm Dennis Diken: “’YON DENIZENS’! THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKIN’ THE SCENE IN ‘DENNY’S DEN’ TODAY! MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO PLEDGED TO WFMU’s OCTOBER HELLRAISER! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! LOVE YOU ALL MADLY!”
	4:12pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Dennis! I missed about the last half hour. Had ortho doc appointment. Good news is no more brace. The bones on my wrist are healed! Just PT for a couple of more months!
	11:33am AtlanticTunnel: Hey Den - Wow. Slade and Rogers & Butler in the same set; you just made a grown man cry! Sorry I didn't catch it live; I was in the middle of nowhere with no reception. Cheers, E
