	♥ 11:24am crateslinger: @Mike W - so nice to be out of there. NYC was fun when I was 18, but even before the end of civilization it was no fun for a fifty year old dinosaur.
	11:25am Ruth Booth: @cooh John, this skeleton doesn't open the door unless I am expecting someone. Sorry
	11:25am CTEmpress: I am lovin' the lopin'

	11:30am phat: Damn this Feliciano is groovy.
	11:30am GListener MW: Amazing first half hour! You’re playing exactly the sort of stuff Michael would probably play, while still distinctly making it your own. Great in-filling!
	11:30am CTEmpress: Jose Feliciano is pretty amazing: as this 45 proves!
	11:31am rw: Good morning! Nice!
	11:31am SmokinJ: Saw Jose Feliciano in 68' at Summerfest in BrewTown. Blew my mind! 8-)
	♥ 11:32am Hughie Considine: Jose's version of "California Dreamin'" rivals the original.
	11:32am morphe': Great sounds !!! Thank FW and all....
	11:35am rw: So... back years ago I lived not far from Jose Feliciano. My friend Mike worked at the record store and Jose's girlfriend came in to rent some movies. She handed Mike Jose's credit card. Mike looked at it and said, "You're not JOSE FELICANO!" (The manager then told him it was cool, she came in all the time.) This story is funnier when Mike tells it, of course...
	♥ 11:35am spodiodi: $ Mr. Fine Wine $ more 45s... in the morning, no less! yeah... hi all!
	♥ 11:37am spodiodi: aloha, Squints59

	11:41am fm Mike: WOOO! That was good!
	♥ 11:41am TDK60: Cooh John. Just saw your predicament. You could walk next door to the post office and officially mail it, back to WFMU next door!
	♥ 11:42am JtotheK: I like Gene Chandler 'You Threw A Lucky Punch' which I believe is an answer song. Hiya MFW, hi everyone. Digging the tunes!
	11:43am Frank Zaatar: @hughie Jose's version of Light My Fire inspired more covers than original.
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: Flintstone feet drums
	11:44am scott: Do you consider 'Back in the USSR' an answer song?
	♥ 11:44am myron feld: Instead of hillbilly novelty records (which I love), here's a novelty record about hillbillies! And a darn good one. Keep 'em comin', FineWine!
	11:45am Cooh John: Thanks, TDK60. I work for the USPS. I have a better way. I heard the champagne industry was hurting. Enjoy! Ruth Booth and all other skeletons.
	♥ 11:45am SecretSquirrel: Slam Stewart was a family friend – my mom worked with his wife Claire at the local museum. When he did Big Noise from Winnetka live, he'd riff on the title: "Hellman's Mayonoise... Chopin Polonoise..."
	♥ 11:46am Matt Fiveash: From one MF to another: I am enjoying this MF-in' show! Keep it up you magnificent MF-er.
	11:46am Andres: Hey Mr . Fine Wine, loving the #1's!!! I know not the answers to the answer songs so far but good fun nonetheless.
	♥ 11:46am Hughie Considine: @Frank, I'm sure you're right. He was quite the interpreter. I still swoon to "Chico & the Man"
	11:47am CTEmpress: Answer song I have: I Don't Talk Too Much Martha Nelson. These are the DEAL Fine Wine!
	♥ 11:49am northguineahills: Secret Squirrel's avatar matches the username. Kudos!
	♥ 11:49am Dennis Diken: diggin'!
	♥ 11:50am myron feld: Instead of Stones/Petty/Springsteen, THIS is the song they should play at Drumpf's mini-Nuremberg rallies.
	♥ 11:51am myron feld: "The Army Wrote Me A Letter,", not "Quackety Quack" -- although.....
	♥ 11:51am Mr. Fine Wine: Hey folks!
	11:52am P-90: You BETTER save some schmaltz for Maisey!
	♥ 11:52am adamdoesit: Gerockin, gerollin and geflicken the chicken!
	11:53am P-90: From this set I’m already getting hungry
	♥ 11:54am listener 126464: Noshville Katz!
	♥ 11:55am northguineahills: uhhh, what jewish song doesn't reference food? (yes, my name is aaron)

	11:56am Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Next: "Please Mr. Sulllivan" by the Warner Brothers.
	11:56am CTEmpress: This is the era's "Please Mr Custer"
	11:57am LP Stevenson: Beat me to it: this is Please Mr. Custer redux
	12:01pm phat: The President Carter song is utterly ridiculous. I love it.
	12:01pm paul: Should follow it with Please Mr. Johnson by Dewey Jones
	♥ 12:01pm chresti: Hi Mr. Fine Wine!
	12:02pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Putting me in the mood to watch the old TV show, CARTER COUNTRY.
	12:02pm kpx: the year I turned 18, they killed the draft, and lower the drinking age to 18. how perfect is that. they talk about party years. but that was a thee party year!
	♥ 12:03pm john_NN_nn_n: loving the show, my son and I listening in Greenpoint!
	12:03pm paul: Voting age lowered to 18 when I turned 18.
	12:05pm CTEmpress: Blowin' for ya!
	♥ 12:09pm Candy-O'67: Hi, Mr. Fine Wine! Happy to hear you filling in for Michael Shelley. Enjoyed your show last night. It was most excellent! I didn't get to join in the chat, but was listening :)
	12:09pm CTEmpress: Whatever this Matinee record is I need it really bad. This is why YOU rule!
	♥ 12:10pm Michael Shelley: Wow. Totally #1
	12:11pm Frank Zaatar: Listen to Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll's version. They explicitly credit Jose.
	12:13pm Frank Zaatar: @SecretSquirrel: I lived there too and saw him innumerable times at Roberson. Slam not only contributed so much to the local culture but brought in jazz giants to play with him. He was a real mensch.
	12:16pm CTEmpress: Ricky Dee a TOTAL #1 HIT!!!!!!
	12:16pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: "I'm Gonna Make Her Mine" could be spun at a soul dance.
	♥ 12:19pm Mike W: wow x wow
	12:20pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I hear a flute. It must be a record from 1968.
	12:21pm Paul in the OC: Great set for yard work—music to schvitz by!
	12:30pm egould310: 11 mile run around Lake Union; powered by the #1 hits spot n by Mr. Fine Wine. Great way to spend the morning. Thanks, bud! Greetings from Seattle!
	12:30pm kpx: Michael Shelley, when you texted Flintstone feet drums. did you mean that was the sound you made when you lit out for cape cod, leaving a burn trail all the way?
	♥ 12:31pm Michael Shelley: Possibly!
	♥ 12:33pm Michael Shelley: I'm reading my way through a stack of New Yorkers, some from the pre-Covid world of early 2019.
	12:34pm kpx: you's so crazy !
	12:34pm rw: Pre-Covid... what was that like??
	♥ 12:35pm chresti: We have stacks and stacks of New Yorkers.
	12:35pm pottybear: Well he did “I’m a Mummy”
	12:36pm kunzzt: rod mckuen: ) invented the smiley?
	♥ 12:36pm duke: I think Rod was known for mediocre poetry. He translated Jacques Brel.
	♥ 12:36pm loveless: Pre-COVID: My hair wasn't gray and I had a lot more of it!
	12:36pm CTEmpress: Bobby Day...as in Rockin' Robin? Killah
	♥ 12:37pm Greg from ZONE 5: This kinda reminds me of that DEVO song…
	12:37pm JtotheK: Re: Rod McKuen — I have his cool ‘Crisco disco’ record... http://discodelivery.blogspot.com/2006/01/crisco-disco-album.html?m=1
	♥ 12:37pm GeoSinPhilly: McKuen was a regular guest on Talk shows like Johnny Carson and Mike Douglas.
	12:37pm phat: McKuen sold a ton of poetry books, when people bought poetry books. Apparently he sold 100 million records. He was on TV a lot, too, if I recall. He was a famous intellectual/poet, etc.
	12:38pm Cooh John: Rod was king of all media in his day. A renaissance man.
	♥ 12:38pm chresti: He was on the celebrity circuit
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: Rod McKuhen was America's most famous mediocre poet. He showed up on TV a lot. He also wrote Listen to the Warm.
	12:39pm Frank Zaatar: McKuen
	♥ 12:39pm Michael Shelley: If I remember, Mr. FW, you asked Allen Toussaint about this record,and he has no memory of it at all!
	12:39pm paddy in matawan: When Aaron Freeman of Ween fame put out Marvellous Clouds, a tribute to Rod McKuen I wasn't familiar with Rod. When I listened to the album I recognized some of the songs from my childhood in the 80s as well. Still not sure from where. A Man Alone specifically was something deeply engrained in me.
	12:41pm Steve Schwartz: Because the medium IS the message, baby
	12:43pm Sylvia's Mother: "medium is the message" was marshall mcluhan!
	♥ 12:43pm Mr. Fine Wine: Did, Michael!
	12:43pm Zephyr: Hilarious, bordering on shameful. “Let’s throw every ‘Beatle-ism into the mix.” They should have been called “Kit and Kaboodle”....
	12:43pm CTEmpress: Hope I survive this last set of #1 hits: it's a Fine Wine TKO!
	♥ 12:47pm Hughie Considine: Like the sheet music had typos in it...
	12:48pm Sylvia's Mother: He doesn't love her "up or down"?? Oh, my! We want to be loved down!
	♥ 12:48pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: More than one hour of MFW is a TOTAL TREAT!!!
	12:49pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: "Hey Hey Woman" an influence on the Kinks' "Victoria"?
	♥ 12:50pm Listener Baby: Good morning MFW! Been listening all morning whilst picking Grenache for Sparkling wine. You are on FIRE MFW! Good morning friends, and Baby if you are listening. That is all. xoxo
	12:50pm CTEmpress: @Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: both 1969 but I don't hear it so much
	♥ 12:50pm Michael Shelley: Baby!
	12:52pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Opening chord, CTE! Play 'em back to back!
	♥ 12:53pm TDK60: Gracias DJ FW.
	12:53pm CTEmpress: @Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn. I will run right over and do that! Both 1969 so in the air!
	♥ 12:55pm chresti: Thanks Mr. FW!
	♥ 12:55pm listener 126464: Thank you Mr. Fine Wine, and thanks Ruth!
	♥ 12:55pm duke: Thanks Mr. F, great show!

	♥ 12:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Mr. Fine Wine!
	12:56pm Evan: What song were you just talking over? I came in at the end :(
	12:57pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Jim Doval Annie Ya Ya ! My new fave!
	♥ 12:57pm spodiodi: and thanks, Ruth!
	♥ 12:58pm chresti: Hi spodi, hows the air?
	12:58pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I wonder how some of these records would sound in a club! <HINT HINT>
	♥ 12:59pm Biba McLurex: Diggin' it, Mr. FW.
	♥ 12:59pm WR: Thank you for the great selections today.
	♥ 12:59pm spodiodi: hi, chresti! it's better than yesterday... had to open the windows! it still smells like a camp fire + yech. but it's better, and so much better than many places. how about you?
	12:59pm kpx: Oh Yes, and of course, thank you Ruth booth.
	1:00pm CTEmpress: GREAT job! Thanks, Matt!
	♥ 1:00pm Michael Shelley: Amazing show.
	♥ 1:04pm chresti: Haven't been outside, generally murky looking sky and heat, I guess lightning is possible in the mountains later on gulp
	♥ 1:06pm spodiodi: here's hoping the lightning passes right on past

	11:35am rw: So... back years ago I lived not far from Jose Feliciano. My friend Mike worked at the record store and Jose's girlfriend came in to rent some movies. She handed Mike Jose's credit card. Mike looked at it and said, "You're not JOSE FELICANO!" (The manager then told him it was cool, she came in all the time.) This story is funnier when Mike tells it, of course...
	♥ 11:35am spodiodi: $ Mr. Fine Wine $ more 45s... in the morning, no less! yeah... hi all!
	♥ 11:37am spodiodi: aloha, Squints59
	♥ 11:38am Mx. Granny (e/em): Hello, Michael and WFMU folx one and all! Apparently i missed a rather splendid Jose Feliciano track.

	11:41am fm Mike: WOOO! That was good!
	♥ 11:41am TDK60: Cooh John. Just saw your predicament. You could walk next door to the post office and officially mail it, back to WFMU next door!
	♥ 11:42am JtotheK: I like Gene Chandler 'You Threw A Lucky Punch' which I believe is an answer song. Hiya MFW, hi everyone. Digging the tunes!
	11:43am Frank Zaatar: @hughie Jose's version of Light My Fire inspired more covers than original.
	♥ 11:44am Michael Shelley: Flintstone feet drums
	11:44am scott: Do you consider 'Back in the USSR' an answer song?
	♥ 11:44am myron feld: Instead of hillbilly novelty records (which I love), here's a novelty record about hillbillies! And a darn good one. Keep 'em comin', FineWine!
	11:45am Cooh John: Thanks, TDK60. I work for the USPS. I have a better way. I heard the champagne industry was hurting. Enjoy! Ruth Booth and all other skeletons.
	♥ 11:45am SecretSquirrel: Slam Stewart was a family friend – my mom worked with his wife Claire at the local museum. When he did Big Noise from Winnetka live, he'd riff on the title: "Hellman's Mayonoise... Chopin Polonoise..."
	♥ 11:46am Matt Fiveash: From one MF to another: I am enjoying this MF-in' show! Keep it up you magnificent MF-er.
	11:46am Andres: Hey Mr . Fine Wine, loving the #1's!!! I know not the answers to the answer songs so far but good fun nonetheless.
	♥ 11:46am Hughie Considine: @Frank, I'm sure you're right. He was quite the interpreter. I still swoon to "Chico & the Man"
	11:47am CTEmpress: Answer song I have: I Don't Talk Too Much Martha Nelson. These are the DEAL Fine Wine!

	♥ 11:49am Dennis Diken: diggin'!
	♥ 11:50am myron feld: Instead of Stones/Petty/Springsteen, THIS is the song they should play at Drumpf's mini-Nuremberg rallies.
	♥ 11:51am myron feld: "The Army Wrote Me A Letter,", not "Quackety Quack" -- although.....
	♥ 11:51am Mr. Fine Wine: Hey folks!
	11:52am P-90: You BETTER save some schmaltz for Maisey!
	♥ 11:52am adamdoesit: Gerockin, gerollin and geflicken the chicken!
	11:53am P-90: From this set I’m already getting hungry

	11:57am LP Stevenson: Beat me to it: this is Please Mr. Custer redux
	12:01pm phat: The President Carter song is utterly ridiculous. I love it.
	12:01pm paul: Should follow it with Please Mr. Johnson by Dewey Jones
	♥ 12:01pm chresti: Hi Mr. Fine Wine!
	12:02pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Putting me in the mood to watch the old TV show, CARTER COUNTRY.
	12:02pm kpx: the year I turned 18, they killed the draft, and lower the drinking age to 18. how perfect is that. they talk about party years. but that was a thee party year!
	♥ 12:03pm john_NN_nn_n: loving the show, my son and I listening in Greenpoint!

	12:05pm CTEmpress: Blowin' for ya!
	♥ 12:09pm Candy-O'67: Hi, Mr. Fine Wine! Happy to hear you filling in for Michael Shelley. Enjoyed your show last night. It was most excellent! I didn't get to join in the chat, but was listening :)
	12:09pm CTEmpress: Whatever this Matinee record is I need it really bad. This is why YOU rule!
	♥ 12:10pm Michael Shelley: Wow. Totally #1
	12:11pm Frank Zaatar: Listen to Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll's version. They explicitly credit Jose.
	12:13pm Frank Zaatar: @SecretSquirrel: I lived there too and saw him innumerable times at Roberson. Slam not only contributed so much to the local culture but brought in jazz giants to play with him. He was a real mensch.
	12:16pm CTEmpress: Ricky Dee a TOTAL #1 HIT!!!!!!
	12:16pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: "I'm Gonna Make Her Mine" could be spun at a soul dance.
	♥ 12:19pm Mike W: wow x wow
	12:20pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: I hear a flute. It must be a record from 1968.
	12:21pm Paul in the OC: Great set for yard work—music to schvitz by!
	12:30pm egould310: 11 mile run around Lake Union; powered by the #1 hits spot n by Mr. Fine Wine. Great way to spend the morning. Thanks, bud! Greetings from Seattle!
	12:30pm kpx: Michael Shelley, when you texted Flintstone feet drums. did you mean that was the sound you made when you lit out for cape cod, leaving a burn trail all the way?
	♥ 12:31pm Michael Shelley: Possibly!
	♥ 12:33pm Michael Shelley: I'm reading my way through a stack of New Yorkers, some from the pre-Covid world of early 2019.
	12:34pm kpx: you's so crazy !
	12:34pm rw: Pre-Covid... what was that like??
	♥ 12:35pm chresti: We have stacks and stacks of New Yorkers.
	12:35pm pottybear: Well he did “I’m a Mummy”
	12:36pm kunzzt: rod mckuen: ) invented the smiley?
	♥ 12:36pm duke: I think Rod was known for mediocre poetry. He translated Jacques Brel.
	♥ 12:36pm loveless: Pre-COVID: My hair wasn't gray and I had a lot more of it!
	12:36pm CTEmpress: Bobby Day...as in Rockin' Robin? Killah
	♥ 12:37pm Greg from ZONE 5: This kinda reminds me of that DEVO song…
	12:37pm JtotheK: Re: Rod McKuen — I have his cool ‘Crisco disco’ record... http://discodelivery.blogspot.com/2006/01/crisco-disco-album.html?m=1
	♥ 12:37pm GeoSinPhilly: McKuen was a regular guest on Talk shows like Johnny Carson and Mike Douglas.
	12:37pm phat: McKuen sold a ton of poetry books, when people bought poetry books. Apparently he sold 100 million records. He was on TV a lot, too, if I recall. He was a famous intellectual/poet, etc.
	12:38pm Cooh John: Rod was king of all media in his day. A renaissance man.
	♥ 12:38pm chresti: He was on the celebrity circuit
	12:38pm Frank Zaatar: Rod McKuhen was America's most famous mediocre poet. He showed up on TV a lot. He also wrote Listen to the Warm.
	12:39pm Frank Zaatar: McKuen
	♥ 12:39pm Michael Shelley: If I remember, Mr. FW, you asked Allen Toussaint about this record,and he has no memory of it at all!
	12:39pm paddy in matawan: When Aaron Freeman of Ween fame put out Marvellous Clouds, a tribute to Rod McKuen I wasn't familiar with Rod. When I listened to the album I recognized some of the songs from my childhood in the 80s as well. Still not sure from where. A Man Alone specifically was something deeply engrained in me.
	12:41pm Steve Schwartz: Because the medium IS the message, baby
	12:43pm Sylvia's Mother: "medium is the message" was marshall mcluhan!
	♥ 12:43pm Mr. Fine Wine: Did, Michael!
	12:43pm Zephyr: Hilarious, bordering on shameful. “Let’s throw every ‘Beatle-ism into the mix.” They should have been called “Kit and Kaboodle”....
	12:43pm CTEmpress: Hope I survive this last set of #1 hits: it's a Fine Wine TKO!
	♥ 12:47pm Hughie Considine: Like the sheet music had typos in it...
	12:48pm Sylvia's Mother: He doesn't love her "up or down"?? Oh, my! We want to be loved down!
	♥ 12:48pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: More than one hour of MFW is a TOTAL TREAT!!!
	12:49pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: "Hey Hey Woman" an influence on the Kinks' "Victoria"?

	12:50pm CTEmpress: @Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: both 1969 but I don't hear it so much
	♥ 12:50pm Michael Shelley: Baby!
	12:52pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Opening chord, CTE! Play 'em back to back!
	♥ 12:53pm TDK60: Gracias DJ FW.

	12:59pm kpx: Oh Yes, and of course, thank you Ruth booth.
	1:00pm CTEmpress: GREAT job! Thanks, Matt!
	♥ 1:00pm Michael Shelley: Amazing show.
	♥ 1:04pm chresti: Haven't been outside, generally murky looking sky and heat, I guess lightning is possible in the mountains later on gulp
