Listener comments!
	2:03pm Dennis Diken: welcome to the Den!
	2:04pm Wild Honey: Hello Dennis and fellow denizens. So happy to be here!
	2:05pm Joe B: hey DD!
	2:05pm Woo: Hi to Dennis and everbody.
	2:07pm Woo: YFF is crazy man. And a hell of a great song title.
	2:07pm Cindy: Time for a mid-afternoon dance break!
	2:08pm Joe B: love this Cascades tune - learned it through the Royal Purple cover!
	2:09pm Dennis Diken: Wild Honey! Joe! Woo! Cindy! alright!
	2:15pm Joe B: a seasonal classic!
	2:20pm Woo: Some day. Dave Clark has been sitting a long time.
	2:28pm Dennis Diken: yeah Woo, if he waits too much longer the kids out there ain't gonna care!
	2:30pm myron feld: Ann Peebles is so, so good.
	2:31pm Dennis Diken: yes myron, you are correct sir!
	2:31pm Joe B: she does a cool Isleys cover on this album as well
	2:33pm Dennis Diken: news we can use Joe!
	2:34pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Dennis and fellow Dennizens! I'm late to the party, but I'm glad I made it!
	2:34pm Dudski: Sounded like Al Jackson on the Ann Peebles song.
	2:34pm Wild Honey: Hi gaylord!!
	2:35pm Dave the Spazz: Who will be knocking on Denny's door today?
	2:35pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	2:35pm Gaylord Fields: Wild Honey!!!
	2:36pm Joe B: @Dudski - being the Hi Records crowd, I'd guess Howard Grimes on drums
	2:36pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ FORGET IT ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	2:38pm Dennis Diken: Jason! Gaylord! Dudski! welcome! hey Spazz, you're always welcome to ring the doorbell here - only if accompanied by Bingo tho...
	2:38pm Jason from Houston: Fine sounds... Thank you!
	2:38pm Gaylord Fields: Calla Records certainly has a great track record label, especially considering it was run by Morris Levy's leg-breaker Nate McCalla.
	2:39pm Gaylord Fields: *great track record as a soul label
	2:40pm Dudski: @Joe B: That's what I was thinking, either Jackson or Grimes. This was 1971 so I'm going to guess Jackson. Isn't it funny how Hi Records always got that sound no matter which drummer they used.
	2:40pm Joe B: for sure Dudski!
	2:41pm Joe B: he stuck to harming people below the waist, steering clear of vocal cords
	2:42pm Dennis Diken: Dudski - Joe B - it's all in the wrists!
	2:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Haha! And when he dangled you out of a window by the feet, it was never on a windy or overcast day, lest you catch laryngitis.
	2:45pm myron feld: Criminality and good taste aren't mutually exclusive.
	2:46pm Dennis Diken: did PP Arnold play the US in recent years?
	2:46pm Joe B: p.p.'s album was 2019, amazing. she did a great interview with Sheila B. on FMU around the release date
	2:49pm Gaylord Fields: @myron feld: Quite true. And sometimes it's a prerequisite (outlaw country, gangsta rap).
	2:51pm Joe B: there's another theme waiting to be exploited on WFMU - songs made by actual convicts. Merle Haggard ...
	2:52pm myron feld: Dennis, excellent headfake on first listing The Lords on "Day After Day" -- sent me scurrying to secondhandsongs.com!
	2:53pm myron feld: @Joe B -- Prisonaires, natch.
	2:53pm Matt Clarke: Hey Dennis! Hey everyone out there!
	2:54pm Dennis Diken: The Lords popped up automatically, it wasn't my doing!
	2:54pm Joe B: the Bunny trying to infiltrate!
	2:55pm Gaylord Fields: Leadbelly, of course.
	2:55pm Nutley Sam: Go Dennis! Belatedly, Say You Want Me is my favorite sideways-rewritten-hit!
	2:56pm myron feld: That's OK, now I've heard a cool Dutch beat song I've never heard before! www.youtube.com...
	2:58pm DA the DJ: Hi Dennis!
	2:58pm Mike Conroy: The Toledo Tornado!
	2:59pm Gaylord Fields: I finally picked up this Derrick Anderson record recently, and it is a power pop master class!
	3:00pm Dennis Diken: hey Matt! DA! yeah, Nutley Sam, we've got a thread of triplicate carbon copies going throughout the Dens
	3:00pm Dennis Diken: right on G! hey Mike!
	3:01pm Matt Clarke: "You Baby" top tune!
	3:02pm Dennis Diken: I'll say, Matt!
	3:06pm Gaylord Fields: I love this Victoria record — she's a NASA scientist by day, yéyé singer by night!
	3:06pm Joe B: wow Gaylord, did not know that! amazing
	3:07pm ChrisB.: Cool, Dennis! You’re playing the theme to The Sandy Becker show!
	3:08pm Gaylord Fields: Yeah, Andy Paley found her while she was working in the Jet Propulsion Labs and made a chanteuse out of her. He was looking for someone who spoke French, and she fit the bill.
	3:09pm Dennis Diken: didn't know that either Gaylord, heh! yes indeed ChrisB.
	3:13pm Dennis Diken: hey, does anyone out there who grew up in the NYC area in the 50s/60s recall this bed music song "Life In NYC" by Monty Kelly? it was used on AM radio as a theme, maybe on Rambling With Gambling?
	3:14pm Joe B: spector did glom a credit on that one
	3:15pm Gaylord Fields: I watched Clay Cole religiously as a tyke, but I don't recall Reparata. And I loved "That Happy Feeling" and am glad people remember it as Sandy Becker's theme. Similarly with Bert Kaempfert's "A Swingin' Safari" being the theme of the original Match Game.
	3:16pm Gaylord Fields: Haha! I anticipated where you were going!
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: Joe B - purportedly Phil S actually did contribute to the songs he gets credited on. anyone out there know?
	3:16pm Nutley Sam: I was gonna recommend Victoria to you and Gaylord. Great stuff!
	3:16pm Dennis Diken: oh Gaylord, you "know me too well"!
	3:17pm Dennis Diken: yes Nutley dude, thanks!
	3:17pm Mike Conroy: Hey, thanks, Den!
	3:17pm Dennis Diken: Mike - credit where due!
	3:18pm Gaylord Fields: From what I understand, the primary songwriters would bring in the tune, and Phil would change things around enough to warrant the third credit by his reckoning, rather than merely slapping his name on it.
	3:18pm Joe B: @DD - ah, so it is not like those Morris Levy or Alan Freed songwriting credits!
	3:20pm Matt Clarke: Ha!
	3:21pm Gaylord Fields: Hahahaha!!! Genius! You are the Dickie Goodman of the 21st century!
	3:21pm Joe B: Dennis Goodman!
	3:23pm Matt Clarke: Yeah the Silkie!
	3:23pm Gaylord Fields: That was hilarious — and really sweet! Humor with heart, that's the DD way!
	3:24pm myron feld: That segment tops "Superfly Meets Shaft" for Greatest Cut-In Experience Ever.
	3:25pm Dennis Diken: thanks Gaylord!! Joe B! dig your Silkie Matt! and thank you so much myron - high praise indeed!
	3:26pm Gaylord Fields: Is it Beatlemaniac blasphemy to say I prefer the Silkie's (Beatle-assisted) version a smidge more than the original?
	3:27pm Nutley Sam: I believe Gary's video for this features an accordion player
	3:27pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: Love that electric riff in that one. I think played by Paul?
	3:28pm Gaylord Fields: And to answer your question from several belly laughs back, "Joueuse" is pronounced "zhooz" (rhymes with "shoes").
	3:28pm Dennis Diken: Gaylord - it's totally haunting! I read on the interweb that John produced the session and saw a Mellotron for the first time at the studio (IBC) and ordered one toot sweet. George on tamborine, Macca on guitar
	3:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt: That is correct. You couldn't keep Paul '65 off the six-string!
	3:29pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: Shoutout to Paul's guitar credits on the back of Help! Bold baby!
	3:31pm Woo: Oh man, there were some amazing songs in the HELP! movie. I can see the saw buzzing around Ringo's drums during this. Ringo drumming while smoking.
	3:31pm Matt Clarke: @Dennis: Interesting! Did Graham Bond record at IBC?
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the info Gaylord! not sure Matt. Bee Gees, The Who, so many others, right?
	3:31pm Dave the Spazz: HELP! --favorite Beatles LP, favorite Beatles movie.
	3:32pm Dudski: Was that the only time Ringo played Bongos on a Beatles record?
	3:32pm Joe B: I do enjoy the Capitol '65 stereo mix for that unique bongo experience! too bad it was 'corrected' in 1987
	3:33pm Nutley Sam: Bongos on And I Love Her and Hard Days Night
	3:33pm Joe B: Ringo bongos - i Will,
	3:33pm Gaylord Fields: This is a question I ask Beatlefans: If you could bring only one year's Beatles releases onto that proverbial desert island (1962–70 only, otherwise I'd choose whatever year comprehensive box sets come out), which would it be? Me, I hope the dart I throw at the dartboard hits 1965.
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: word has it that John played drums on "I Need You"
	3:33pm Dudski: @Nutley Sam: Thanks.
	3:34pm Matt Clarke: @Dennis: Yeah! Snare drum
	3:34pm Joe B: also bongos on I'm down???
	3:34pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: 1965 for me too. Sorry Abbey Road!
	3:35pm Joe B: also '65
	3:35pm Nutley Sam: Gaylord, 1964. John was on a roll (from the Kaiserkeller)
	3:36pm Matt Clarke: Also bongos on "I Will" I believe.
	3:36pm Gaylord Fields: I've always marveled at that strong Lennon vocal DNA — all the Lennon men have/had it!
	3:36pm Dave the Spazz: Did Freddie ever record with Elmo Lewis?
	3:36pm myron feld: Boy, John's vocal apple (no record label pun intended) didn't fall far from Freddie's tree.
	3:37pm Nutley Sam: Joe, yes I think so!
	3:37pm Gaylord Fields: @myron: Freddie = John = Julian
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: gee, With The Beatles does it for me, and all the '63 sides. that's a tough one...love A Hard Day's Night LP and Beatles For Sale too much...shucks...
	3:37pm Matt Clarke: Freddie Lennon sounds like he is heading for a Holiday in Wakiki after this
	3:37pm Nutley Sam: Matt, I assumed that was Faul on I Will Bongos.
	3:38pm myron feld: @gaylord: one and one and one are, in fact, three
	3:39pm Gaylord Fields: @myron: Haha! Nice callback!
	3:40pm Hackensack Slim: Diggin the Show, Dennis. How come TCM shows A Hard Days Night regularly, yet never Help?
	3:40pm Gaylord Fields: The (Justin) Biebles?! Yikes!
	3:40pm Nutley Sam: That was a Kaiser Roll joke...
	3:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Nutley Sam: Sorry, I don't speak German.
	3:41pm Joe B: that joke is in my Top Ten!
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: it's Ringo on "I Will" I think - or some other kind of wood percussion? same session as "Los Paranois" I believe
	3:42pm Mike Conroy: Steve Simels and the Floor Models!
	3:43pm Nutley Sam: @Dennis, thanks, noted! @Joe: HAHA!
	3:46pm Joe B: achtung, baby! whoops, wrond band
	3:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: Janus currently administers AHDN with rights from Walter Shenson's estate, and TCM likely has a deal to air Janus films. No such distribution deal exists for Help!'s TV/cable broadcast (Criterion last had DVD/Blu-Ray distribution rights).
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: Help! rules
	3:47pm Joe B: as long as no one shows magical mystery tour, we're fine
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: hey Hackensack Slim - I guess Gaylord had the answer!
	3:51pm Hackensack Slim: Thanks for the clarification Gaylord. Appreciate it.
	3:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: That very dearth of Help! play on TCM made me go out and buy the Blu-Ray (to go with the glitchy DVD I already owned).
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: thanks so much to everyone for tuning in today! love you all madly! (happily, actually)
	3:55pm Joe B: thanks DD! great show!
	3:55pm myron feld: Lots of fine fun today, Dennis -- thanks!
	3:55pm Gaylord Fields: Love back to you, Dennis! See everyone next week!
	3:55pm Hackensack Slim: Gaylord. How about a viewing party at Monty Hall when do-able?
	3:56pm Dudski: Great show.
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: I wish. Rights are $$$ to air it in public. Magical Mystery Tour they'd pay us to show, however.
	3:56pm WR: I certainly had a good time. Thank you!
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: thanks myron, WR and Gaylord - and everyone! hey, let's re-edit MMT, might make into something cool?
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: thanks again Dudski

	3:28pm Dennis Diken: Gaylord - it's totally haunting! I read on the interweb that John produced the session and saw a Mellotron for the first time at the studio (IBC) and ordered one toot sweet. George on tamborine, Macca on guitar
	3:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt: That is correct. You couldn't keep Paul '65 off the six-string!
	3:29pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: Shoutout to Paul's guitar credits on the back of Help! Bold baby!
	3:31pm Woo: Oh man, there were some amazing songs in the HELP! movie. I can see the saw buzzing around Ringo's drums during this. Ringo drumming while smoking.
	3:31pm Matt Clarke: @Dennis: Interesting! Did Graham Bond record at IBC?
	3:31pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the info Gaylord! not sure Matt. Bee Gees, The Who, so many others, right?
	3:31pm Dave the Spazz: HELP! --favorite Beatles LP, favorite Beatles movie.
	3:32pm Dudski: Was that the only time Ringo played Bongos on a Beatles record?
	3:32pm Joe B: I do enjoy the Capitol '65 stereo mix for that unique bongo experience! too bad it was 'corrected' in 1987
	3:33pm Nutley Sam: Bongos on And I Love Her and Hard Days Night
	3:33pm Joe B: Ringo bongos - i Will,
	3:33pm Gaylord Fields: This is a question I ask Beatlefans: If you could bring only one year's Beatles releases onto that proverbial desert island (1962–70 only, otherwise I'd choose whatever year comprehensive box sets come out), which would it be? Me, I hope the dart I throw at the dartboard hits 1965.
	3:33pm Dennis Diken: word has it that John played drums on "I Need You"
	3:33pm Dudski: @Nutley Sam: Thanks.
	3:34pm Matt Clarke: @Dennis: Yeah! Snare drum
	3:34pm Joe B: also bongos on I'm down???
	3:34pm Matt Clarke: @Gaylord: 1965 for me too. Sorry Abbey Road!
	3:35pm Joe B: also '65
	3:35pm Nutley Sam: Gaylord, 1964. John was on a roll (from the Kaiserkeller)
	3:36pm Matt Clarke: Also bongos on "I Will" I believe.
	3:36pm Gaylord Fields: I've always marveled at that strong Lennon vocal DNA — all the Lennon men have/had it!
	3:36pm Dave the Spazz: Did Freddie ever record with Elmo Lewis?
	3:36pm myron feld: Boy, John's vocal apple (no record label pun intended) didn't fall far from Freddie's tree.
	3:37pm Nutley Sam: Joe, yes I think so!
	3:37pm Gaylord Fields: @myron: Freddie = John = Julian
	3:37pm Dennis Diken: gee, With The Beatles does it for me, and all the '63 sides. that's a tough one...love A Hard Day's Night LP and Beatles For Sale too much...shucks...
	3:37pm Matt Clarke: Freddie Lennon sounds like he is heading for a Holiday in Wakiki after this
	3:37pm Nutley Sam: Matt, I assumed that was Faul on I Will Bongos.
	3:38pm myron feld: @gaylord: one and one and one are, in fact, three
	3:39pm Gaylord Fields: @myron: Haha! Nice callback!
	3:40pm Hackensack Slim: Diggin the Show, Dennis. How come TCM shows A Hard Days Night regularly, yet never Help?
	3:40pm Gaylord Fields: The (Justin) Biebles?! Yikes!
	3:40pm Nutley Sam: That was a Kaiser Roll joke...
	3:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Nutley Sam: Sorry, I don't speak German.
	3:41pm Joe B: that joke is in my Top Ten!
	3:41pm Dennis Diken: it's Ringo on "I Will" I think - or some other kind of wood percussion? same session as "Los Paranois" I believe
	3:42pm Mike Conroy: Steve Simels and the Floor Models!
	3:43pm Nutley Sam: @Dennis, thanks, noted! @Joe: HAHA!
	3:46pm Joe B: achtung, baby! whoops, wrond band
	3:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: Janus currently administers AHDN with rights from Walter Shenson's estate, and TCM likely has a deal to air Janus films. No such distribution deal exists for Help!'s TV/cable broadcast (Criterion last had DVD/Blu-Ray distribution rights).
	3:47pm Dennis Diken: Help! rules
	3:47pm Joe B: as long as no one shows magical mystery tour, we're fine
	3:50pm Dennis Diken: hey Hackensack Slim - I guess Gaylord had the answer!
	3:51pm Hackensack Slim: Thanks for the clarification Gaylord. Appreciate it.
	3:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: That very dearth of Help! play on TCM made me go out and buy the Blu-Ray (to go with the glitchy DVD I already owned).
	3:55pm Dennis Diken: thanks so much to everyone for tuning in today! love you all madly! (happily, actually)
	3:55pm Joe B: thanks DD! great show!
	3:55pm myron feld: Lots of fine fun today, Dennis -- thanks!
	3:55pm Gaylord Fields: Love back to you, Dennis! See everyone next week!
	3:55pm Hackensack Slim: Gaylord. How about a viewing party at Monty Hall when do-able?
	3:56pm Dudski: Great show.
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Hackensack Slim: I wish. Rights are $$$ to air it in public. Magical Mystery Tour they'd pay us to show, however.
	3:56pm WR: I certainly had a good time. Thank you!
	3:57pm Dennis Diken: thanks myron, WR and Gaylord - and everyone! hey, let's re-edit MMT, might make into something cool?
	3:58pm Dennis Diken: thanks again Dudski
