Listener comments!
	11:54am Gary: Looks like he swallowed a frog
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm duke: Hello rooty poots
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Frog-targeted Pepto-Bismol ad? Howdy, UM and all!!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Classify! Classify!
	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: The upside to running SIX HOURS late: the show won't keep me up. Not gonna get to the other end til after 1.
	12:04pm Stevel: Strangely enough, my copy of No Sleep Till Canvey Island just showed up! On a day off, no less.
	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I started my show off with a McPherson, too!
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Good morning Gary, Bob, duke, James, Doug, Lane and Steve!
	12:06pm Stevel: Guten-frog!
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: maybe they're not related, Doug!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: WARNING: This song constitutes the remainder of this set.
	12:09pm kirk from beer city usa: I like what's playing here, but what Bryce is playing right now goes better with the frog
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the programming tip, kirk.
	12:10pm Doug Schulkind: @Stevel No, it's a guten-free frog.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: The frog doesn't even seem to notice his passenger.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Steve, I haven't listened to Michael Shelley's Will Birch interview yet. Have you?
	12:16pm Stevel: Nope. Just caught the end, but I'm planning to go back.
	12:18pm Stevel: Would that, perhaps, be on Michael's podcast?
	12:19pm Slater: large coloured balls
	12:20pm Stevel: They actually never stop playing this song, do they?
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Perhaps...certainly on his archive. Hi Slatersan.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Never.
	12:21pm Mike East: this is...um...fucking awesome.
	12:21pm Mike East: and HELLO!
	12:23pm Wilson K: Dude, Hinky Dinky Time rules and all, but you mustn't ever play Xmas songs out of season! Even if they're ostensibly about the weather! It's against the nature of things!
	12:26pm Lane Steelpicker: Wilson, point of order: Let it Snow is a winter song. And I like this steel version of Snowbird. Wish Michael wouldn't talk over the pedal steel
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: You only have to put up with my winter music for six more weeks.
	12:27pm Alex In Illinois: It's not an Xmas song. It's snow song, or winter song as Lane jut stated. When I was a kid watching the evening news for school closings, they would show the names of the schools scrolling upwards over a background of falling snow while playing that song, even if in February or March.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll let you know that I had two other seasonal music beds in mind for winter but could find instrumental versions of neither of them. They were Neil Young's "Winterlong" and Tommy Roe's "It's Now Winter's Day."
	12:31pm Wilson K: Friends, let's all admit "Let it Snow" is a weather song AND a Christmas song. Otherwise you'd be hardpressed to explain its ubiquity in the Christmas catalog.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: So stipulated.
	12:34pm Stevel: bubububububububbubububububu [bass run] awesome
	12:34pm Wilson K: But the statement I stand by most firmly is my primary one: Hinky Dinky Time rules.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Wilson!
	12:35pm listener james from westwood: It's a dessert topping AND a floor wax! And hear, hear to the ruling status of HDT! Ah, tender young Alice.
	12:37pm Stevel: "Let it Snow" is a cheerful acceptance of the undeniable fading of the light, heat and, of course, life itself.
	12:38pm Mike East: Screw the snow, man. Makes winter so much harder than it already is. Miami, here I come.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: We're gonna play name that tune in a moment.
	12:39pm Stevel: I had not known of Don Covay until last night's Spazz tribute. Wow, to the influence on Mick Jagger (perhaps not so much in this cut, but still...) Cool stuff.
	12:39pm Stevel: Hmmmm
	12:40pm Lane Steelpicker: HDT rules. The fact that the Santa/Baby Jesus cabal has subsumed winter/snow songs should not change the identity of the Winter/Snow songs. For that matter, my Idol even contributed to that appropriation. Buddy Emmons put Sleigh Ride on his Christmas album. But there's neither Santa nor Jesus in it
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: AC/DC, what is it, THunderstruck?
	12:40pm Stevel: Besides Thunderstruck?
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: James wins!
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: And I like the cover!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: I'll take a photo finish alongside Stevel!
	12:45pm Stevel: James: You might want to consider the negative effect on your image, but thanks!
	12:45pm Alex In Illinois: I was going to call this Thunderstruck rendition "ear candy", but it is something tastier--maybe "ear cannoli" or "ear baklava"?
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: UM: Sad to hear you were illin'. Week's been unkind to a lot of folks I know; hope yours finds an uptick soon!
	12:47pm PKNY: @UM - I heard recently it's actually Donovan on co-vocals w/ Alice on "Billion Dollar Babies".
	12:49pm Wilson K: "Let it Snow" is an unapologetic nookie ploy... yo, I brought popcorn, wanna get frisky?
	12:50pm Alex In Illinois: There are no many people who will treat us to ? & the Mysterians tunes other than 96 Teardrops. I can think of only Uncle Michael and Ted Baron
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: PKNY, WHAT?! Thanks, James.
	12:51pm Alex In Illinois: AHH. I meant "not many people"
	12:52pm PKNY: @UM - pretty sure I heard Donovan mention this in an older interview that Howard Stern did, but it's also listed in the Wikipedia page on the song: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: It's true! I loined something!
	12:53pm PKNY: More details from the Don himself: ultimateclassicrock.com...
	🛒 12:54pm Brian in UK: Hey boys take me back.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Brian, yes indeed. But not the Cher version.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Used to have a Hoyt Axton LP with this song.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Cherilyn did this.
	12:56pm Slater: Michael "Wildfire" Murphey
	12:57pm Lane Steelpicker: Hippie Country
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I was sure Jimmy Webb had written it, the first time I heard it. He didn't.
	12:58pm Lane Steelpicker: I suspect Hoyt
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Murphey wrote it.
	1:00pm Lane Steelpicker: And I wuz wrong. Murphey and Charles Quarto
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Murphey's almost always written with a partner.
	1:02pm chromaphone: Just saw that Big Star doc a few months ago. Pretty good. Def impressed with Chris Bell's stuff.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Hi chromaphone...likewise.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Just read Glyn Johns' Sound Man. He did the early Steve Miller LPs. Loved Sailor.
	1:05pm Mike East: I won the Big Star doc during last year's marathon. I really gotta find "I Am the Cosmos" somewhere. Chris Bell's story makes me sad.
	1:05pm Stevel: chromaphone: Agreed. Excellent doc. Saw it a week before Ardent's John Fry passed. Bittersweet.
	1:05pm chromaphone: Hi there. Finally listening again after 4 weeks at home on baby duty.
	1:06pm Lane Steelpicker: I remember a few years ago listening to him on the Opry, when he did a song about Jesse James, and prefaced it with a brief history lesson, and wondered why idolize a murdering sociopath.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: The early SMB stuff still works well for me. The '70s hits, not so much.
	1:08pm chromaphone: Love the synths on his 70s stuff. Especially Fly Like an Eagle.
	1:08pm Wilson K: Oh man I was just singin this in my kitchen last week! I was tryin' to explain why Daddy had hard time in the scenario
	1:09pm Wilson K: The blind willie version is what I was channeling tho
	1:09pm listener james from westwood: Non–greatest hits Steve Miller is almost entirely new to me, so glad to hear anything of that era.
	1:13pm Dominick: plunk your magic twanger
	1:14pm Lane Steelpicker: Per KEY. Italian lacks a K, ch provides the K sound.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Lane. I don't pronounce things right,
	1:17pm chromaphone: It's frickin freezing in here. Not here but over here at work.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Cindy Walker is the author of this chestnut.
	1:20pm Lane Steelpicker: I <3 Cindy Walker.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: I don't care that Wikipedia says she didn't.
	1:22pm Lane Steelpicker: Cindy Walker, Fred Rose and Louis Jordan. Take out any one, and there goes a huge chunk of Asleep at the Wheel catalog
	1:22pm Stanley: Hi Uncle, listeners. Enjoying a kitchen based show as I cook up noodles. Hi Brian!
	1:23pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. This and the Dick and Deedee use the same Stones' backing track.
	1:24pm listener james from westwood: @Stanley: All hail noodles! And cooking! Homemade chili from a crockpot session last week heating in my food-hole right now.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Hello Stanley. Great show to do the cooking too, this and Matt's show.
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: Cliff recorded this one Uncle.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: He did. I almost played that version.
	1:26pm chromaphone: Yea, kept reminding me of the Stones
	1:26pm Stanley: Yeah, and I'm due out for a couple of beers, later. All hail Friday evenings!
	1:27pm ndbob: Yep _ I remember being surprised re Blue Turns to Gray
	1:27pm Mike East: cheers, Stanley!
	1:27pm Lane Steelpicker: Mrs. Lane and I often cook together Sunday as we play this from archives. Great tunes for kitchen. Stupid Heather nuked this coming Sunday, though
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: stupid Heather!
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: A sincere welcome and hello to all the arrivals I've neglected to shout out. I'm glad you're here.
	1:29pm Lane Steelpicker: My boss said that if we get back after 8 AM Saturday, we have to BOTH go to Dayton. I won't be home til about the time the new Top Gear starts at 2
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I've been waiting to watch them later on Sunday night.
	1:31pm chromaphone: this singer is an oddball :)
	1:37pm Alex In Illinois: It sounds like he is playing a set of pan pipes
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: I guessed a recorder.
	1:41pm Alex In Illinois: I was thinking that it was panpipes on a bracket so he can play them and the guitar at the same time, like what is sometimes done with a harmonica.
	1:41pm V Priceless: fine show, Uncle M!
	1:42pm ndbob: pretty sure it's panpipes
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, V! I really don't know, Alex. It could be.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: It's "quills" which I take to be essentially, pan pipes.
	1:47pm Doug Schulkind: That was one motherfukkin great segue right there.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I'll take that compliment! Thanks!
	1:48pm Alex In Illinois: Yes, "quills"! The first time I read about that term being used for pan pipes was from a British guy writing about US music, and I had some doubts, but I have been coming across that more often.
	1:49pm chromaphone: very cool. Never heard of such an instrument. Love that song.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I will speculate that a set of quills was probably actually made from bird quills. Turkey, perhaps? Something large.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: The Allman Bros.' second and last chart single.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: That's Bonnie Bramlett singing with Richard.
	1:54pm Alex In Illinois: From Wikipedia: Besides guitar, Thomas accompanied himself on quills, a folk instrument fabricated from cane reeds whose sound is similar to the zampona played by musicians in Peru and Bolivia
	1:56pm Alex In Illinois: Here is Dom Flemons doing a Henry Thomas type thing: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:58pm Holly in NC: great show UM! :-)
	2:00pm Stevel: Well, I love to love you as well.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I hope everyone bought fresh batteries. Thanks, Holly!
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: Batteries?! I need a cigarette after hearing Donna!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I hope you have a fresh pack, James.
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: Another dude who played the quills: Sid Hemphill, who was recorded by Alan Lomax in 1942. His granddaughter, Jessie Mae Hemphill, was a fantastic delta blueswoman herself.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Tucked in the sleeve as always, or at least in my mind it is!
	2:07pm listener james from westwood: Damn, UM, you weren't shitting about the fresh pack. Hot hotness here.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jessie Mae, I know of.
	2:08pm Parq: Look, Mommy and Daddy are wrestling!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Heh. Hi Parq.
	2:09pm Alex In Illinois: Is this pornophonic?
	2:09pm Lane Steelpicker: Serge sounds like Lenny Cohen to me
	2:10pm glenn: is this hinky, or dinky?
	2:11pm Parq: Lane, well, they were both ugly as plywood, yet revered as over the top sexy.
	2:11pm Dominick: You got your dinky in my hinky
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: you're getting warmer
	2:11pm Holly in NC: @Doug - am kinda obsessed w Jessie Mae
	2:12pm Parq: Okay, that's it, I'm turning off the speakers on my work puter. (By the way, this Rita came out while I was in college radio. We had a lot of fun with it, but never got away with playing it on the air.)
	2:12pm glenn: ummmm, leonard cohen was pretty good looking when he was tearing up the montreal nightclubs.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I don't know how to tell you all this...but this isn't the last song in this set.
	2:13pm Parq: I figured.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Earbuds, Parq!
	2:13pm Alex In Illinois: If you are listening at work use headphones! I wish I were working from home today.
	2:14pm chromaphone: www.youtube.com...
	2:15pm Mike East: hehe, I'm playin' this at work.
	2:15pm Doug Schulkind: It's funny how every one of the tunes in this set were recorded at Katz's Delicatessen.
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: @UM: As a nice lady once said, more more more! @Parq, Alex: I used to have the same race-for-the-headphones moment with dear old Kenny G when he had a show. As for me right now, all hail freelancing!
	2:15pm Lane Steelpicker: Parq, there's something about being good with lyrics. As Steve Martin said in Roxanne, A few frilly words, and you're counting ceiling tiles
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: All I know is that kidney stones are a bitch.
	2:16pm glenn: which makes gall stones a bastard?
	2:17pm Parq: I'm moving around the office too much for headphones. Besides, honest, I'm blushing just having this on low volume in the background.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: @UM: I frequently found a coworker of mine bent double over such stones. @Doug: Clever nod there.
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I never had a microphone nearby when working a stone. I coulda made a killing.
	2:26pm Dean: Amy Camus!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Do you subscribe to that theory, Dean?
	2:29pm glenn: it's as a good a theory to explain her as any other.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, heads; Amy Camus...tails; space alien.
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: My mom always liked that theory but I think she was of a "print the legend" mind on Yma.
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta go do some stuff. Have a killer last 26 minutes, Uncle Michael!
	2:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Hippies play pedal steel strange. But purdy
	2:35pm Dean: My subscription to that theory lapsed. Now it's all Sartre.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: I thought that was fake pedal. No?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Nope, real! Live and learn today, I guess.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doug!
	2:39pm Alex In Illinois: Accordion time!
	2:44pm Dean: Affirmative!
	2:44pm glenn: noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:44pm Slater: Si
	2:44pm Mike East: NO! I mean, YES!
	2:45pm Dean: For a second there I thought this was the Germs' "No God."
	2:45pm Parq: For my money, the live version of "Roundabout" blows this away, but I'm turning it up anyway.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I've decided that the statute of limitations has run out on Roundabout. Amnesty.
	2:46pm Dean: Was it here that I first heard of "In and Around Greg Lake"?
	2:46pm Slater: ELP next?
	🛒 2:46pm Brian in UK: Uncle have you heard 'In and Around Greg Lake' by Wondermints? The only reason BrianWilson can tour is Wondermints?
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Alas, ELP for me...no guilt...also no pleasure.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: No. I must hear it!
	2:47pm Dean: I second UM's ELP experience. For me the Copland does them in.
	2:48pm Dean: Also, Wakeman eats Emerson for breakfast. (Trolling.)
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I have the Nice when I need any Emerson.
	2:49pm Parq: Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth. There, I said it.
	2:50pm Dean: Yes, he seems nice.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I once gave my dad The Six Wives of Henry The Eighth for fathers day. Can you imagine?
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Uncle cookin' show. Will drop you a line soon.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: I should do that again.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: See you later, Brian. Thanks.
	2:52pm Dean: Sometimes a Wakeman concept album is just a Wakeman concept album.--S. Freud.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Who is Shirley Freud?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: How the hell was this a b-side?
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Shirley U. Geste. Beau's sister.
	2:54pm Dean: Stop calling me Shirley.
	🛒 2:55pm Brian in UK: This is an eye opener. Agree Uncle.
	2:57pm chromaphone: yea that Charlie Rich was amazing! Guess I gotta check out more of his stuff.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks a lot for hanging out today, everyone!
	2:58pm Lane Steelpicker: Michael, it's POSSIBLE that it was faked, but highly unlikely. 1) the pedal steel tonality in the midst is almost unique 2) I thought I heard a couple of instances of two notes bending at different rates. A slide guitar with a B-bender COULD do that, but they'd have to be pretty damn good. I'll give it a cynical listen looking for fakery. But my on-the-fly ear says it's a pedal steel, probably a Zum, Franklin or Emmons (modern guitar, not a 60s honky-tonk hero)
	2:58pm Dominick: !
	2:59pm Lane Steelpicker: I tucked back in, thanks
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: The steel player on the Matthew Sweet was Greg Leisz, Lane.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Hiya, Dominick.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Ah, should've known Neil would have given this one some love.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Syruppy...yet he nails it.
	3:01pm Lane Steelpicker: Greg Leisz is awesome. I told you I have a gear connection with him?
	3:02pm Holly in NC: In and around the lake... (singing).. :-)
	3:03pm chromaphone: Listening to GUitar in the Space AGe today in my car :)
	3:03pm listener james from westwood: What's life without a bit of syrup here and there? Wouldn't be a Friday if it didn't end here. Thanks, UM, and be well, all!!
	3:03pm Lane Steelpicker: I bought a used speaker for my Fender Super Twin head from Milkman Amps. It was used by Greg on the Eric Clapton tour.
	3:06pm Uncle Michael: Very cool, Lane. Thanks everyone. Till next week...
	8:11am David in ATL from NJ: Listening to the replay. I'll be back after a cold shower. Great show Michael.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 6, 2015

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Listener comments!
	11:54am Gary: Looks like he swallowed a frog
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm duke: Hello rooty poots
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Frog-targeted Pepto-Bismol ad? Howdy, UM and all!!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Classify! Classify!
	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: The upside to running SIX HOURS late: the show won't keep me up. Not gonna get to the other end til after 1.
	12:04pm Stevel: Strangely enough, my copy of No Sleep Till Canvey Island just showed up! On a day off, no less.
	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I started my show off with a McPherson, too!
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Good morning Gary, Bob, duke, James, Doug, Lane and Steve!
	12:06pm Stevel: Guten-frog!
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: maybe they're not related, Doug!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: WARNING: This song constitutes the remainder of this set.
	12:09pm kirk from beer city usa: I like what's playing here, but what Bryce is playing right now goes better with the frog
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the programming tip, kirk.
	12:10pm Doug Schulkind: @Stevel No, it's a guten-free frog.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: The frog doesn't even seem to notice his passenger.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Steve, I haven't listened to Michael Shelley's Will Birch interview yet. Have you?
	12:16pm Stevel: Nope. Just caught the end, but I'm planning to go back.
	12:18pm Stevel: Would that, perhaps, be on Michael's podcast?
	12:19pm Slater: large coloured balls
	12:20pm Stevel: They actually never stop playing this song, do they?
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Perhaps...certainly on his archive. Hi Slatersan.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Never.
	12:21pm Mike East: this is...um...fucking awesome.
	12:21pm Mike East: and HELLO!
	12:23pm Wilson K: Dude, Hinky Dinky Time rules and all, but you mustn't ever play Xmas songs out of season! Even if they're ostensibly about the weather! It's against the nature of things!
	12:26pm Lane Steelpicker: Wilson, point of order: Let it Snow is a winter song. And I like this steel version of Snowbird. Wish Michael wouldn't talk over the pedal steel
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: You only have to put up with my winter music for six more weeks.
	12:27pm Alex In Illinois: It's not an Xmas song. It's snow song, or winter song as Lane jut stated. When I was a kid watching the evening news for school closings, they would show the names of the schools scrolling upwards over a background of falling snow while playing that song, even if in February or March.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll let you know that I had two other seasonal music beds in mind for winter but could find instrumental versions of neither of them. They were Neil Young's "Winterlong" and Tommy Roe's "It's Now Winter's Day."
	12:31pm Wilson K: Friends, let's all admit "Let it Snow" is a weather song AND a Christmas song. Otherwise you'd be hardpressed to explain its ubiquity in the Christmas catalog.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: So stipulated.
	12:34pm Stevel: bubububububububbubububububu [bass run] awesome
	12:34pm Wilson K: But the statement I stand by most firmly is my primary one: Hinky Dinky Time rules.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Wilson!
	12:35pm listener james from westwood: It's a dessert topping AND a floor wax! And hear, hear to the ruling status of HDT! Ah, tender young Alice.
	12:37pm Stevel: "Let it Snow" is a cheerful acceptance of the undeniable fading of the light, heat and, of course, life itself.
	12:38pm Mike East: Screw the snow, man. Makes winter so much harder than it already is. Miami, here I come.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: We're gonna play name that tune in a moment.
	12:39pm Stevel: I had not known of Don Covay until last night's Spazz tribute. Wow, to the influence on Mick Jagger (perhaps not so much in this cut, but still...) Cool stuff.
	12:39pm Stevel: Hmmmm
	12:40pm Lane Steelpicker: HDT rules. The fact that the Santa/Baby Jesus cabal has subsumed winter/snow songs should not change the identity of the Winter/Snow songs. For that matter, my Idol even contributed to that appropriation. Buddy Emmons put Sleigh Ride on his Christmas album. But there's neither Santa nor Jesus in it
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: AC/DC, what is it, THunderstruck?
	12:40pm Stevel: Besides Thunderstruck?
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: James wins!
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: And I like the cover!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: I'll take a photo finish alongside Stevel!
	12:45pm Stevel: James: You might want to consider the negative effect on your image, but thanks!
	12:45pm Alex In Illinois: I was going to call this Thunderstruck rendition "ear candy", but it is something tastier--maybe "ear cannoli" or "ear baklava"?
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: UM: Sad to hear you were illin'. Week's been unkind to a lot of folks I know; hope yours finds an uptick soon!
	12:47pm PKNY: @UM - I heard recently it's actually Donovan on co-vocals w/ Alice on "Billion Dollar Babies".
	12:49pm Wilson K: "Let it Snow" is an unapologetic nookie ploy... yo, I brought popcorn, wanna get frisky?
	12:50pm Alex In Illinois: There are no many people who will treat us to ? & the Mysterians tunes other than 96 Teardrops. I can think of only Uncle Michael and Ted Baron
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: PKNY, WHAT?! Thanks, James.
	12:51pm Alex In Illinois: AHH. I meant "not many people"
	12:52pm PKNY: @UM - pretty sure I heard Donovan mention this in an older interview that Howard Stern did, but it's also listed in the Wikipedia page on the song: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: It's true! I loined something!
	12:53pm PKNY: More details from the Don himself: ultimateclassicrock.com...
	🛒 12:54pm Brian in UK: Hey boys take me back.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Brian, yes indeed. But not the Cher version.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Used to have a Hoyt Axton LP with this song.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Cherilyn did this.
	12:56pm Slater: Michael "Wildfire" Murphey
	12:57pm Lane Steelpicker: Hippie Country
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: I was sure Jimmy Webb had written it, the first time I heard it. He didn't.
	12:58pm Lane Steelpicker: I suspect Hoyt
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Murphey wrote it.
	1:00pm Lane Steelpicker: And I wuz wrong. Murphey and Charles Quarto
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Murphey's almost always written with a partner.
	1:02pm chromaphone: Just saw that Big Star doc a few months ago. Pretty good. Def impressed with Chris Bell's stuff.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Hi chromaphone...likewise.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Just read Glyn Johns' Sound Man. He did the early Steve Miller LPs. Loved Sailor.
	1:05pm Mike East: I won the Big Star doc during last year's marathon. I really gotta find "I Am the Cosmos" somewhere. Chris Bell's story makes me sad.
	1:05pm Stevel: chromaphone: Agreed. Excellent doc. Saw it a week before Ardent's John Fry passed. Bittersweet.
	1:05pm chromaphone: Hi there. Finally listening again after 4 weeks at home on baby duty.
	1:06pm Lane Steelpicker: I remember a few years ago listening to him on the Opry, when he did a song about Jesse James, and prefaced it with a brief history lesson, and wondered why idolize a murdering sociopath.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: The early SMB stuff still works well for me. The '70s hits, not so much.
	1:08pm chromaphone: Love the synths on his 70s stuff. Especially Fly Like an Eagle.
	1:08pm Wilson K: Oh man I was just singin this in my kitchen last week! I was tryin' to explain why Daddy had hard time in the scenario
	1:09pm Wilson K: The blind willie version is what I was channeling tho
	1:09pm listener james from westwood: Non–greatest hits Steve Miller is almost entirely new to me, so glad to hear anything of that era.
	1:13pm Dominick: plunk your magic twanger
	1:14pm Lane Steelpicker: Per KEY. Italian lacks a K, ch provides the K sound.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Lane. I don't pronounce things right,
	1:17pm chromaphone: It's frickin freezing in here. Not here but over here at work.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Cindy Walker is the author of this chestnut.
	1:20pm Lane Steelpicker: I <3 Cindy Walker.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: I don't care that Wikipedia says she didn't.
	1:22pm Lane Steelpicker: Cindy Walker, Fred Rose and Louis Jordan. Take out any one, and there goes a huge chunk of Asleep at the Wheel catalog
	1:22pm Stanley: Hi Uncle, listeners. Enjoying a kitchen based show as I cook up noodles. Hi Brian!
	1:23pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. This and the Dick and Deedee use the same Stones' backing track.
	1:24pm listener james from westwood: @Stanley: All hail noodles! And cooking! Homemade chili from a crockpot session last week heating in my food-hole right now.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Hello Stanley. Great show to do the cooking too, this and Matt's show.
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: Cliff recorded this one Uncle.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: He did. I almost played that version.
	1:26pm chromaphone: Yea, kept reminding me of the Stones
	1:26pm Stanley: Yeah, and I'm due out for a couple of beers, later. All hail Friday evenings!
	1:27pm ndbob: Yep _ I remember being surprised re Blue Turns to Gray
	1:27pm Mike East: cheers, Stanley!
	1:27pm Lane Steelpicker: Mrs. Lane and I often cook together Sunday as we play this from archives. Great tunes for kitchen. Stupid Heather nuked this coming Sunday, though
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: stupid Heather!
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: A sincere welcome and hello to all the arrivals I've neglected to shout out. I'm glad you're here.
	1:29pm Lane Steelpicker: My boss said that if we get back after 8 AM Saturday, we have to BOTH go to Dayton. I won't be home til about the time the new Top Gear starts at 2
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I've been waiting to watch them later on Sunday night.
	1:31pm chromaphone: this singer is an oddball :)
	1:37pm Alex In Illinois: It sounds like he is playing a set of pan pipes
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: I guessed a recorder.
	1:41pm Alex In Illinois: I was thinking that it was panpipes on a bracket so he can play them and the guitar at the same time, like what is sometimes done with a harmonica.
	1:41pm V Priceless: fine show, Uncle M!
	1:42pm ndbob: pretty sure it's panpipes
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, V! I really don't know, Alex. It could be.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: It's "quills" which I take to be essentially, pan pipes.
	1:47pm Doug Schulkind: That was one motherfukkin great segue right there.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I'll take that compliment! Thanks!
	1:48pm Alex In Illinois: Yes, "quills"! The first time I read about that term being used for pan pipes was from a British guy writing about US music, and I had some doubts, but I have been coming across that more often.
	1:49pm chromaphone: very cool. Never heard of such an instrument. Love that song.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I will speculate that a set of quills was probably actually made from bird quills. Turkey, perhaps? Something large.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: The Allman Bros.' second and last chart single.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: That's Bonnie Bramlett singing with Richard.
	1:54pm Alex In Illinois: From Wikipedia: Besides guitar, Thomas accompanied himself on quills, a folk instrument fabricated from cane reeds whose sound is similar to the zampona played by musicians in Peru and Bolivia
	1:56pm Alex In Illinois: Here is Dom Flemons doing a Henry Thomas type thing: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:58pm Holly in NC: great show UM! :-)
	2:00pm Stevel: Well, I love to love you as well.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I hope everyone bought fresh batteries. Thanks, Holly!
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: Batteries?! I need a cigarette after hearing Donna!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I hope you have a fresh pack, James.
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: Another dude who played the quills: Sid Hemphill, who was recorded by Alan Lomax in 1942. His granddaughter, Jessie Mae Hemphill, was a fantastic delta blueswoman herself.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Tucked in the sleeve as always, or at least in my mind it is!
	2:07pm listener james from westwood: Damn, UM, you weren't shitting about the fresh pack. Hot hotness here.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jessie Mae, I know of.
	2:08pm Parq: Look, Mommy and Daddy are wrestling!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Heh. Hi Parq.
	2:09pm Alex In Illinois: Is this pornophonic?
	2:09pm Lane Steelpicker: Serge sounds like Lenny Cohen to me
	2:10pm glenn: is this hinky, or dinky?
	2:11pm Parq: Lane, well, they were both ugly as plywood, yet revered as over the top sexy.
	2:11pm Dominick: You got your dinky in my hinky
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: you're getting warmer
	2:11pm Holly in NC: @Doug - am kinda obsessed w Jessie Mae
	2:12pm Parq: Okay, that's it, I'm turning off the speakers on my work puter. (By the way, this Rita came out while I was in college radio. We had a lot of fun with it, but never got away with playing it on the air.)
	2:12pm glenn: ummmm, leonard cohen was pretty good looking when he was tearing up the montreal nightclubs.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I don't know how to tell you all this...but this isn't the last song in this set.
	2:13pm Parq: I figured.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Earbuds, Parq!
	2:13pm Alex In Illinois: If you are listening at work use headphones! I wish I were working from home today.
	2:14pm chromaphone: www.youtube.com...
	2:15pm Mike East: hehe, I'm playin' this at work.
	2:15pm Doug Schulkind: It's funny how every one of the tunes in this set were recorded at Katz's Delicatessen.
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: @UM: As a nice lady once said, more more more! @Parq, Alex: I used to have the same race-for-the-headphones moment with dear old Kenny G when he had a show. As for me right now, all hail freelancing!
	2:15pm Lane Steelpicker: Parq, there's something about being good with lyrics. As Steve Martin said in Roxanne, A few frilly words, and you're counting ceiling tiles
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: All I know is that kidney stones are a bitch.
	2:16pm glenn: which makes gall stones a bastard?
	2:17pm Parq: I'm moving around the office too much for headphones. Besides, honest, I'm blushing just having this on low volume in the background.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: @UM: I frequently found a coworker of mine bent double over such stones. @Doug: Clever nod there.
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I never had a microphone nearby when working a stone. I coulda made a killing.
	2:26pm Dean: Amy Camus!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Do you subscribe to that theory, Dean?
	2:29pm glenn: it's as a good a theory to explain her as any other.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, heads; Amy Camus...tails; space alien.
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: My mom always liked that theory but I think she was of a "print the legend" mind on Yma.
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta go do some stuff. Have a killer last 26 minutes, Uncle Michael!
	2:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Hippies play pedal steel strange. But purdy
	2:35pm Dean: My subscription to that theory lapsed. Now it's all Sartre.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: I thought that was fake pedal. No?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Nope, real! Live and learn today, I guess.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doug!
	2:39pm Alex In Illinois: Accordion time!
	2:44pm Dean: Affirmative!
	2:44pm glenn: noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:44pm Slater: Si
	2:44pm Mike East: NO! I mean, YES!
	2:45pm Dean: For a second there I thought this was the Germs' "No God."
	2:45pm Parq: For my money, the live version of "Roundabout" blows this away, but I'm turning it up anyway.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I've decided that the statute of limitations has run out on Roundabout. Amnesty.
	2:46pm Dean: Was it here that I first heard of "In and Around Greg Lake"?
	2:46pm Slater: ELP next?
	🛒 2:46pm Brian in UK: Uncle have you heard 'In and Around Greg Lake' by Wondermints? The only reason BrianWilson can tour is Wondermints?
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Alas, ELP for me...no guilt...also no pleasure.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: No. I must hear it!
	2:47pm Dean: I second UM's ELP experience. For me the Copland does them in.
	2:48pm Dean: Also, Wakeman eats Emerson for breakfast. (Trolling.)
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I have the Nice when I need any Emerson.
	2:49pm Parq: Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth. There, I said it.
	2:50pm Dean: Yes, he seems nice.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I once gave my dad The Six Wives of Henry The Eighth for fathers day. Can you imagine?
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Uncle cookin' show. Will drop you a line soon.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: I should do that again.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: See you later, Brian. Thanks.
	2:52pm Dean: Sometimes a Wakeman concept album is just a Wakeman concept album.--S. Freud.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Who is Shirley Freud?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: How the hell was this a b-side?
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Shirley U. Geste. Beau's sister.
	2:54pm Dean: Stop calling me Shirley.
	🛒 2:55pm Brian in UK: This is an eye opener. Agree Uncle.
	2:57pm chromaphone: yea that Charlie Rich was amazing! Guess I gotta check out more of his stuff.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks a lot for hanging out today, everyone!
	2:58pm Lane Steelpicker: Michael, it's POSSIBLE that it was faked, but highly unlikely. 1) the pedal steel tonality in the midst is almost unique 2) I thought I heard a couple of instances of two notes bending at different rates. A slide guitar with a B-bender COULD do that, but they'd have to be pretty damn good. I'll give it a cynical listen looking for fakery. But my on-the-fly ear says it's a pedal steel, probably a Zum, Franklin or Emmons (modern guitar, not a 60s honky-tonk hero)
	2:58pm Dominick: !
	2:59pm Lane Steelpicker: I tucked back in, thanks
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: The steel player on the Matthew Sweet was Greg Leisz, Lane.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Hiya, Dominick.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Ah, should've known Neil would have given this one some love.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Syruppy...yet he nails it.
	3:01pm Lane Steelpicker: Greg Leisz is awesome. I told you I have a gear connection with him?
	3:02pm Holly in NC: In and around the lake... (singing).. :-)
	3:03pm chromaphone: Listening to GUitar in the Space AGe today in my car :)
	3:03pm listener james from westwood: What's life without a bit of syrup here and there? Wouldn't be a Friday if it didn't end here. Thanks, UM, and be well, all!!
	3:03pm Lane Steelpicker: I bought a used speaker for my Fender Super Twin head from Milkman Amps. It was used by Greg on the Eric Clapton tour.
	3:06pm Uncle Michael: Very cool, Lane. Thanks everyone. Till next week...
	8:11am David in ATL from NJ: Listening to the replay. I'll be back after a cold shower. Great show Michael.
