Good morning Joe! Weirdly, I was just transcribing Stan's last playlist into his comments section (someone's got to do it!)...the archived show had finished playing so I switched over to the live stream while finishing up on his last set of announcements. And, perfectly timed, heard you back announcing the exact track I was trying to figure out how to spell, e.g.
Romano Rizzati - "Shake 5B" (from "Library of Sound Grooves: Obscure Psychedelic Manuscripts from the Italian Cinema (1967-1975)", 2015)

I'm thinking of compiling a list of songs sung by men referencing a more "wiggly" sexuality that's not necessarily glam rock. I've got this one, one from Ollie Halsall's Caves album, Mika's "Billy Brown"

Yeah. Joe, the old joke "I'm not bi-sexual, I'm try-sexual. I'll try anything once."

Also, hearing this, I realized how much there was an Irish influence on the UP accent. The lilt part.

I only wish these recording would have seen the light of day sooner. I think they will have an effect up there, but it's about 60 years too late. Those Lomax recordings saved a lot of the Southern traditional scene.
