	2:03pm Officer Pupp: I maintain Mike Batt had the sweetest gig of all time- access to the best studio musicians, even orchestras if he wanted them, and a seemingly free hand in whatever he did, on the proviso that he included “womble” in the lyrics. A brilliant deal!

	3:04pm Double R: ↳ Ms.Amanda @3:02 Quite the shake up. Did Paul Shaffer write this? Seeing he was a co-writer of It's Raining Men. I heard the comedian Judy Gold say they are changing it to It's Raining Them

	3:12pm Double R: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:10 I know you asked Don. But I find them super overrated. I saw them live and couldn't take the posing. My money is on Don detesting them.

	3:15pm Gayle & Mitchell: Just me (M) or does this Michael Chapman song have a Neil Young melody?
	3:15pm Double R: ↳ Don Ciccone @3:14 I kind of liked them until I saw them live. Great players but the posing and forced gyrating ruined all of it.
	3:16pm AtlanticTunnel: G N M......Good call...which one?
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Don Ciccone: ↳ Double R @3:15 They refused to bring Cyril up on stage with them. Odd.
	3:17pm Gayle & Mitchell: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:16 I hear “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing” in there…

	3:45pm Double R: ↳ Song: "Hard Candy Christmas" by "Tracey Thorn" Great lyrics on this one.
	3:45pm Officer Pupp: Is this the same Hard Candy Christmas as the Dolly song?
	3:46pm Lilith212: ↳ Song: "Hard Candy Christmas" by "Tracey Thorn" Lovely one

	3:07pm Double R: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin" by "Albert King" Don't let the Baby It's Cold Outside cancelers hear this one.
	3:07pm Lilith212: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin" by "Albert King" Santa is Randy!
	🎸 ♥ 3:07pm Don Ciccone: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin" by "Albert King" Groovy track.
	3:08pm Lilith212: ↳ Double R @3:07 HAHA!
	3:08pm Ms.Amanda: Now for another one of my faves :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm MelaniR: ↳ Don Ciccone @3:05 We just go to Myers Of Keswick on Hudson Street in the west village!
	3:10pm AtlanticTunnel: Hey Don...Do alright.....wot do you think of the Lemon Twigs now?
	3:10pm Lilith212: ↳ Song: "Purple Snowflakes" by "Marvin Gaye" Wow! Would have thought Santa wants some lovin would be more Marvin Gaye :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm Don Ciccone: ↳ MelaniR @3:09 Cool. We've got a Britshop that opened recently...I'll have to check if they have. I get my Branston's there
	3:10pm AtlanticTunnel: Hey A....Brill tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:11pm AtlanticTunnel: Lilth212.... :))))))))))))))))))))))
	3:12pm Double R: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:10 I know you asked Don. But I find them super overrated. I saw them live and couldn't take the posing. My money is on Don detesting them.
	🎸 ♥ 3:12pm Don Ciccone: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:10 I need to hear more. Can't believe they do Way Over My Head.
	3:13pm Lilith212: ↳ Song: "Another Season Song" by "Michael Chapman" Beautiful song
	3:13pm AtlanticTunnel: I like some of their songs!...a good live band!
	3:13pm Double R: ↳ Don Ciccone @3:12 They did it one night recently. They're from Long Island. That alone should DQ them.
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Don Ciccone: ↳ Double R @3:12 They're big Todd fans. I'm more into the Nazz.
	3:15pm Gayle & Mitchell: Just me (M) or does this Michael Chapman song have a Neil Young melody?
	3:15pm Double R: ↳ Don Ciccone @3:14 I kind of liked them until I saw them live. Great players but the posing and forced gyrating ruined all of it.
	3:16pm AtlanticTunnel: G N M......Good call...which one?
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Don Ciccone: ↳ Double R @3:15 They refused to bring Cyril up on stage with them. Odd.
	3:17pm Gayle & Mitchell: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:16 I hear “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing” in there…
	3:17pm Double R: ↳ Don Ciccone @3:17 They're a couple of dicks. I told you.
	3:18pm AtlanticTunnel: wow!!!...gotta check that out!!!!!
	3:18pm Lilith212: ↳ Song: "Walk Out To Winter" by "Aztec Camera" Don't know this one! Dig it!!

	🎸 ♥ 3:25pm Don Ciccone: Yay, Byrds!
	3:25pm AtlanticTunnel: Anyone know anything about this Byrds song???????????????????
	3:26pm Officer Pupp: The Unit AMA do a wonderful post-rock version of this.
	3:26pm Lilith212: What Don Ciccone said

	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Don Ciccone: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:27 You can really hear that it's them, not studio guys.
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm MOM WHIG: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:27 hi

	3:29pm Lilith212: ↳ AtlanticTunnel @3:29 She was a delight!
	🎸 ♥ 3:30pm Don Ciccone: Anyone remember the Rockfield Choir? This Vashti cut reminds me. I fell in love with her when I met her... she's the definition of charming.
