	8:04pm Robm: evening fellow honky tonkers
	8:04pm loveless: Hello everyone and wishing all the best to you in the new year.
	8:05pm Chris Hiatt: Good evening! And Happy New Year.
	👻 8:06pm Handy Haversack: Becky! Tonkers! Happy New Year to you all. Glad to be with you. Definitely hoping for better treatment in '24, damn. We all catch Thurl on Ken's show this morning?
	8:07pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:06 I didn't!! I have a Thurl record with me tonight!
	8:07pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:06 Hey Handy! Hear, hear. Didn't catch Thurl, was in and out. As in Thurl Ravenscroft?
	8:09pm ultradamno: Thurl Bailey? How many people have been named Thurl?
	👻 8:09pm Destroit: The Year of Thurl has arrived!
	8:11pm Robm: this is going to sound like a dumb question, but who is thurl?
	8:12pm Harry Corvair: Nice! Bought an ersatz Johnny Cash greatest hits collection at some NYC street fair decades ago, included this. Still listening today. Best show, Becky! I Still Miss Someone by Johnny Cash
	8:12pm ultradamno: I thought it might be short for something, like Thurlman or Thurlxander, but it apparently is just Thurl
	8:12pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Destroit @8:09 Thank heavens. Now I can take off this stupid sandwich board.
	8:13pm Becky: ↳ Robm @8:11 Thurl Ravenscroft, session bass singer extraordinaire throughout the 50s and 60s, best known as the voice of Tony the Tiger, but he shows up everywhere once you know his voice.
	8:13pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @8:11 He's G-R-R-REAT!
	8:14pm Robm: ↳ Becky @8:13 okay thanks @Ultradamno got it now
	8:16pm ultradamno: Did he ever duet with Burl Ives...a Burl and Thurl album seems like a no brainer.
	8:17pm Becky: ↳ ultradamno @8:16 It's possible - a lot of people assume "He's a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is by Burl Ives.
	👻 8:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:17 Ken played the 1956 ("1960-new") Plymouth ad.
	8:20pm merl ravenscroft: hello! its been a while, and we are talking about my namesake
	👻 8:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:18 With the Mellowmen: Thurl Ravenscroft, Bill Lee, Bob Hamlin, Bob Stevens
	👻 8:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ merl ravenscroft @8:20 THERE you are!
	8:21pm Becky: ↳ merl ravenscroft @8:20 You arrived just in time.
	8:23pm merl ravenscroft: that unmistakable bass draws me like a firefly to a flame
	8:23pm ultradamno: If I could go back in time I wouldn't kill Hitler, I'd make a Burl & Thurl album happen.
	8:24pm Tom from texas: wasn't he Tony the Tiger?
	👻 8:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Tom from texas @8:24 Thurl was!
	8:24pm Chris Hiatt: The Sword in the Stone was in heavy, heavy rotation when the girl was 3-ish. Thurl did the voice of the Black Knight. "Hold everything!!"
	8:25pm bixa: hello from amish counttry
	8:29pm ultradamno: I wonder how much of his time was spent on Tony The Tiger, considering how well he's known for it...it's not like Tony spent a lot of time explaining the cereal...
	👻 8:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Spooky Movies" by "Roy Clark" Gotta remember to tell listeners William and Erin Hellfire about this one.
	8:30pm Becky: ↳ ultradamno @8:29 I don't recall he had a deep repertoire as the character. Probably said more vocabulary words singing the Grinch theme.
	👻 8:30pm Destroit: ↳ ultradamno @8:16 Feel the bass with Thurl n Burll
	👻 8:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Moonshot" by "Joe Maphis" And they said in space no one can hear you finger-pick!
	8:34pm merl ravenscroft: oh my gosh, Thurl is the vacuum from brave little toaster <3
	8:35pm bixa: ↳ merl ravenscroft @8:34 do you remember the junk yard song in this movie, "worthless?"
	8:35pm Shaky: Had to cut away to add that Joe Maphis cut to my shuffle. Now I'm behind.
	👻 8:36pm Handy Haversack: The Foundational Thurl Ravenscroft? Honky Tonk Radio Bass Thurl Ravenscroft?

	8:38pm Becky: ↳ ultradamno @8:37 Heyyyy I know those guys!! Svetlana is the Veronica to my Betty.
	👻 8:38pm D Rok: ↳ Destroit @8:30 That Plymouth ad is on the YouTubes: youtu.be...
	8:39pm ultradamno: ↳ Becky @8:38 I like that! That CW show would have been so much better!

	8:40pm Dano59: ↳ merl ravenscroft @8:34 Yes! My son's favorite movie, still
	8:41pm ultradamno: I've been hoping for Zombierella to get a show on WFMU (or even just a drop in show on RnS stream) after hearing this DJ set she did soundcloud.com...

	👻 8:51pm Handy Haversack: Real nice tribute, Becky.
	8:52pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:51 One of my fondest memories is doing a 1 record, 1 record set with Aram playing songs that reminded us of this.
	8:53pm ultradamno: Aquarius and my name is Ralph (by the way, search for Float On and Modest Mouse is the first thing that comes up...grrrrrr)
	👻 8:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:52 Gonna listen to the rest while I get the dishes sorted. I have some matchbooks to hand off to you! That's a lovely memory! Thank you for sharing. And once more many thanks for another great show. Happy New Year, Tonkers.
