	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: Mrs. Lane!
	♥ 12:10pm Lane Gray: Stupid Otto Krecht. Being a Japanese bluegrass band, they sang it Sweet Carorine.
	12:10pm otto: This feels just right!!!!!!!1
	🛒 ♥ 12:10pm Pedro in Arlington: The late great Yankees captain Thurman Munson was a big Neil fan. Not sure if Neil was a Munson fan.
	12:10pm dan: I believe that the animation is from "Neil Diamond Parking Lot", an unofficial sequel to "Heavy Metal Parking Lot", when Judas Priest played the same venue a decade earlier.
	♥ 12:10pm Uncle Michael: otto! Pedro!
	♥ 12:10pm Lane Gray: I didn't know that was a Neil.
	♥ 12:11pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, oh, oh, Whaaaa!

	12:12pm Listening Out There: @Lane: Diamond was one of those Brill Building denizens whose work could turn up in a heckuva lotta places...
	12:12pm rw: Good morning! Sunflower

	♥ 12:13pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	12:13pm rw: Yo Mr. Twinkie!! UM!
	♥ 12:14pm Uncle Michael: LOT, we'll hear a bunch of that today!
	♥ 12:15pm Hubig Pie: Will Killdozer be making an appearance ?
	12:15pm rw: Neil Diamond was one of my dad's favorites.
	♥ 12:15pm Uncle Michael: Hubig! TIMING!
	♥ 12:15pm Hubig Pie: Question answered
	♥ 12:16pm burke: "I've never cared for the sound of being alone"
	12:16pm dan: I saw a Neil Diamond concert from 2012 on PBS some time back, the mix of young and old people in the audience singing the words and having a ball was just amazing.
	♥ 12:17pm ottovonbqe: this is a really good killdozer song i never heard before.
	♥ 12:17pm Uncle Michael: ottovonbqe!
	12:21pm Erella: This is a beautiful version of this song. I forget that Jose Feliciano created a huge body of work.
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: Erella!
	12:22pm Erella: Hi Uncle Michael!
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Hey there Uncle Michael. Any chance we might hear David Hasselhoff covering Forever In Blue Jeans?
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Umm...
	🛒 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: Crazy busy, but checking in to say hi!
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: I can't skip a rope...or this Henson Cargill version.
	12:25pm Erella: There had been restaurant that was inside a decommissioned streetcar inside a little strip mall. It was a small place. I heard Jose Feliciano play there in maybe 1988. I might have been the only one there in the 20 or so audience members who was there to hear him specifically.
	♥ 12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm Lizardner Dave 2: Pour me a drink and I'll sell you some fries. Wait, how does that go again?
	♥ 12:25pm Uncle Michael: I saw Jose at the Belly Up in Aspen and the place was packed.
	12:26pm dan: Forever In Blue Jeans was a song that was written to be a country song, but it came out as a pop tune for Diamond.
	♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	🛒 ♥ 12:26pm listener Rey: Hiya UM!Love Jose Feliciano and really diggin your set
	♥ 12:26pm jmd: Uncle!
	12:27pm johnk77: is that related to bellyup in california?
	♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: Rey! jmd! john!
	♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: I think so, john.
	♥ 12:28pm Uncle Michael: Selsun Blue?
	12:28pm Erella: Have you heard the Johnny Mathis & Sasha Distel version of Song Sung Blue?
	🛒 ♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: jijiji UM
	♥ 12:29pm Uncle Michael: Yes! We'll maybe hear from Sasha today.
	12:30pm Creebie: Jennifer Hudson’s performance of Holly Holy at the Musicares/Grammys tribute a few years ago was supposed to be great but its never been released so I guess we’ll have to settle for Cher’s version.
	♥ 12:30pm Uncle Michael: Creebie! Or maybe not...
	♥ 12:31pm Roberto: Whoops, totally spaced and forgot to switch to the Dummer stream! Er, Drummer.
	♥ 12:31pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	♥ 12:32pm Roberto: Unc!
	12:33pm johnk77: couple of stutters today in wired internet audio could be verizon here in nyc in the last 1 of about 5 seconds the twitch video appeared to keep going
	12:33pm Mark R: A friend of mine said he spotted Neil Diamond on an old episode of "Mannix."
	12:35pm dan: My viewing this week have been clips from Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert at MSG from 1992. Everything from George Harrison to The Band to Sinead O'Connor getting booed off the stage.
	12:37pm Mark R: When you put Sinead at the end of that list, it's possible to mis-read it as EVERYBODY getting booed off the stage. BTW, knowing what we now know about sexual abuse in the church, Sinead was right all along.
	12:37pm dan: @Mark R I tip my hat to Sinead.
	🛒 ♥ 12:38pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	♥ 12:38pm Uncle Michael: Mark! john, unbroken stream since the start here...knock wood
	12:38pm KWilde: Great choices as always - looking forward to a great show
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: Cmurtha! KWilde!
	12:39pm dan: In the US, Cliff Richard is a disco artist, but in the UK, he was so much more.
	12:39pm johnk77: here i go to restart router & ont box
	12:40pm Mark R: Saw a pic of him meeting Princess Di in the 80s, seems to me the dude coasted on his wicked good looks.
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: He might have coasted but he was a real talent.
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: Ask Rik Mayall.
	♥ 12:41pm Uncle Michael: here comes a followup to a big hit...
	12:43pm KWilde: Dismissed Neil as a square when I was a kid but love him now
	12:43pm Mark R: Well, let's agree that he was a handsome devil, then. TBH I never knew much about him except he was always an example of pre-Beatles pop stars who were huge in UK but couldn't quite break in the US.
	12:43pm Listening Out There: The Marcie Blane is great. She must have snagged this tune before Lesley Gore could...
	12:44pm Mark R: My primary respect for Neil is as a songwriter. He's not my cup of tea as a performer, no disrespect to any DJs who may choose to include him on their excellent radio programs.
	♥ 12:45pm Uncle Michael: LOT, it was a followup the Marcie's big hit, Bobby's Girl.
	♥ 12:45pm Hubig Pie: My fav Mr Diamond song
	♥ 12:45pm ottovonbqe: i too learned to appreciate neil young late in life. couldn't accept my mother was right about 1 thing.
	🛒 ♥ 12:45pm spodiodi: my mother made sure i almost ever went a day without hearing some Neil Diamond. i'll probably send her your show later, UM
	♥ 12:45pm ottovonbqe: i mean neil diamond.
	🛒 ♥ 12:45pm spodiodi: (thanks!)
	♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael: listen to your mothers
	12:47pm Lewis: my Mom brought me to Charlie Pride...
	♥ 12:47pm Uncle Michael: see? Lewis!
	12:48pm Lewis: (my Uncle Micheal brought me to Neil Diamond)
	12:50pm dan: For all you Yankee fans on the comments board, Whitey Ford died yesterday at 93.
	12:50pm Dean: My mom gave me a soft spot for Diamanda Galas, and she wanted me to be just like John Cage. "Sit down and shut up!"
	🛒 ♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: lol Dean
	♥ 12:50pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello everybody! Thanks for spotlighting( even if occasionally ironically) one of the great prides of Brooklyn, UM.
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! YW
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Queens represent.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Jay Traynor...man.
	12:56pm Really Lisa: I had to school myself on Neil Diamond in the streets of the burbs.. My mom played accordion and recorder, and listened to Sephardic Ladino music.
	♥ 12:58pm Uncle Michael: Monty Python introduced me to Clodagh Rodgers.
	♥ 1:01pm Roberto: Yes. I am a Jack-in-the-Box!
	♥ 1:01pm Fuzzy: Bicycle Repairman!
	♥ 1:02pm Roberto: He also thought he was Trotsky.
	♥ 1:06pm Uncle Michael: Fuzzy!
	♥ 1:06pm Roberto: Yay Lulu!
	1:07pm dan: Sounds like she’s saying “The Book That I Wrote”.
	♥ 1:07pm Creature Boy: Good mornin
	🛒 ♥ 1:07pm Cmurtha: Neil really showing he wrote this one in a big way. No masking that one.
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: Creature! Cmurtha; yep!
	♥ 1:11pm Roberto: Remember Weird Al's parody? You Don't Take Your Showers
	🛒 ♥ 1:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Wouldn't really be a show with Liberace!
	1:12pm Rich In Washington: oh my god
	♥ 1:13pm Uncle Michael: Rich! You ok?
	1:14pm Rich in Washington: I'm dying, UM!
	♥ 1:15pm Hubig Pie: Goat alarm, well played
	1:16pm ?: Howdy UM and all, loving this set. Thank-ee!!!
	1:16pm bigplanetnoise: Hola Holy, UM and all HDers!
	1:16pm Marie: ?=me :>)
	♥ 1:17pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Bob!
	♥ 1:18pm Spankyflop: I remember Scharpling doing practically a whole show about Porcupine Pie.
	1:19pm Listening Out There: Sonny on Speed
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: Spankyflop! I wonder if it's in the archives.
	♥ 1:19pm Mike East: I remember that too, Spankyflop! Always my first thought when I hear that song. Hilarious. Good afternoon Uncle Michael and others!
	1:20pm Dean: Oddly, on some of Liberace's comps the song appears as "You Don't Send Me Flowers." Deep Purple covered a Neil Diamond tune? So says an ad in Billboard...
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: Mike! No spoilers, Dean!
	1:21pm Dean: Forwarding the ad to you, UM.
	1:21pm Creebie: You have to admire Sonny’s self confidence.
	1:22pm dan: So there was a reggae version of Red Red Wine before UB40,
	♥ 1:22pm Uncle Michael: Unwarranted as it may have been...
	🛒 ♥ 1:23pm doctorjazz: Red Red Wine works great as Reggae/Ska!
	1:24pm dan: @doctorjazz Was that Neil Diamond's intention?
	🛒 ♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: Could have been, @dan.
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: I don't think so.
	🛒 ♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: Nah, me either.
	1:28pm Dean: Perhaps the source of the Liberace, never mind the title discrepancy: https://www.discogs.com/Liberace-Showstoppers/release/6656404
	1:36pm dan: Cover Chain!!!!!!!!
	🛒 ♥ 1:36pm Cmurtha: Sonny is not without his charms, that song he sings about the woman being on a bad trip is pretty entertaining. He is no Lee Hazelwood, but when he tries to be I think it works, but I've not heard enough of his oeuvreto really comment.
	1:38pm KWilde: I'm in!
	1:38pm dan: No one has that scratchy Irish brogue other than Shane MacGowan.
	1:39pm Marie: I love this!
	🛒 ♥ 1:39pm Cmurtha: I am always torn if Cracklin Rose is genuinely the vastly superior hit compared to Sweet Carolline, or if I've just heard Sweet Caroline so much more in comparison that its lost the luster it once had.
	1:40pm Marie: I got my banjo fix!
	🛒 ♥ 1:40pm Cmurtha: This is a 10/10 cover
	1:42pm dan: Going back to the Bob Dylan tribute from 1992, one of the highlights was The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem covering "When The Ship Comes In", which rivals Dylan's original version.
	1:44pm dan: The MacGowan reminded me of it
	♥ 1:44pm Mike East: @Cmurtha - Cracklin Rose is the superior hit, for sure.
	♥ 1:45pm Uncle Michael: I believe this was a chart hit for Percy.
	♥ 1:46pm Spinning Giant: Crunchy Granola Suite does not sound at all what I thought it was going to sound like...
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: I agree strongly with Mike East.
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	1:47pm Dean: More likely this comp is the source of the Liberace, same false beginning: https://www.pandora.com/artist/liberace/i-play-piano-and-sing-volume-2-live/ALK9ZJxp7j5lqJZ Released in 2011?
	♥ 1:48pm burke: Speaking of unmistakable great voices, it's Alex Chilton!
	♥ 1:51pm Uncle Michael: Sean Bonniwell's too!
	♥ 1:52pm Uncle Michael: chills from the harmonies
	1:57pm dan: Rod Evans era Deep Purple.
	🛒 ♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: Uncle, been listening all the while. His songs can take variations.
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! agreed
	2:00pm dan: @Brian That's the mark of a great songwriter.
	🛒 ♥ 2:02pm Brian in UK: dan, missed that bit out of the comment.
	♥ 2:04pm Spinning Giant: UM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:10pm Listening Out There: Was there a "Book One" recording by Kramer and Frisell?
	♥ 2:10pm Spinning Giant: this is WAAAY better than the warbling almost-dead Johnny Cash version - don't get me wrong - I love warbling almost-dead Rubinized JC - but really - this is...well..thanks, UM! ...delish - guiding me thru the end of my workweek with grace enjoyment and surprises as always - Cheers! (EDIT) ...okay, up until the really hokey "franglais" parts, I was diggint this - the producer should've had the good sense to edit that out...really, come on...
	2:11pm Ira: Did Bert Berns and Bang Records give Neil Diamond his first break?
	2:11pm dan: Pulp Fiction OD scene.
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Good question, Ira. He was selling songs before he hooked up with Bert, so it depends on how one defines "first break".
	♥ 2:14pm Spinning Giant: epic cut - still - it immediately draws me back in - legendary reinterpretation by Nash & the lads...
	2:16pm Dean: According to Jocelyn Faris's 1995 bio-bibliography of Liberace's recordings, appearances, etc., there were then no recordings of "Flowers." He performed the tune during runs at the Nugget Casino in Sparks, NV, and the Las Vegas Hilton ("pure camp," wrote a reviewer) during October and November 1979.
	2:16pm Listening Out There: Nevermind. Kramer did have a predecssor recording...
	♥ 2:16pm Uncle Michael: Doug went long because talks. I'm going LONGER because I talk more!
	♥ 2:19pm Uncle Michael: The Strangers were Irish boyos.
	2:20pm Bill Mac: Uncle Michael.... izzat you?
	♥ 2:20pm Uncle Michael: It reallu is. Bill! You missed Killdozer!
	2:22pm dan: Four Tops doing Neil Diamond's Monkees hit.
	2:22pm Bill Mac: I am I said! I love to hear a duet with Mick Gerald and Neil Diamond.
	2:22pm Dean: Neil Diamond's Monkees...now there's a band name.
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: me too!
	2:25pm Ira: I phrased it poorly - perhaps the first label to give him a bit of creative freedom and not care that he didn't sound like everyone else
	♥ 2:26pm Uncle Michael: Ah, then yes, certainly so, I'd say.
	♥ 2:26pm Uncle Michael: But then his relationship with Bang went sour. I think there was a lot of that going around.
	🛒 ♥ 2:27pm Jeff Golick: This is not terribly germane, but I believe one of my first musical purchases was Neil's The Jazz Singer on cassette.
	♥ 2:28pm Uncle Michael: You achieved a complete recovery, Jeff!
	♥ 2:29pm burke: @Jeff it's not jermaine but it might be tito
	2:29pm dan: I've never seen Neil's version of The Jazz Singer, has anyone seen it and how did they like it?
	♥ 2:30pm Uncle Michael: Lucy Arnez stole the film.
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM. No joke, I do think I was under the weather at the time, too. (@burke: ha!)
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm Cmurtha: DUN DUN DUN
	♥ 2:34pm Little Danny: Hi UM, hi all! Better late than never, wheeee.
	♥ 2:34pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi - been stuck in meetings all morning but finally here.
	2:35pm rw: Ha! I've been to Stull. Didn't the devil come from KS?
	2:36pm dan: Probably turned the Stull into Condos
	♥ 2:38pm Uncle Michael: Danny! Lizzie! rw, the devil is still here. Why were you there?
	🛒 ♥ 2:41pm doctorjazz: Soolaimon is wonderful!
	2:41pm Ira: Bert Berns was quite a character - did you ever see the DVD about him?
	2:42pm rw: You know, I was in college nearby. Passed through on my way to Topeka on the bicycle once or twice. Gates of hell, and all.
	♥ 2:42pm Uncle Michael: I keep meaning to watch that doc. I haven't.
	♥ 2:43pm Uncle Michael: Doc, I was sad not to locate covers of the rest of the African Trilogy.
	♥ 2:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm keeping an eye on a wasp in here. I'll catch and release after the show's over.
	🛒 ♥ 2:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey there. Late as usual. No hall pass as usual.
	♥ 2:48pm Uncle Michael: Detention.
	2:48pm Dean: Anti-WASP?
	🛒 ♥ 2:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Breakfast club. Do you think Molly Ringwald would go for a guy like me?
	♥ 2:50pm Uncle Michael: How do you look in untied boots?
	🛒 ♥ 2:50pm doctorjazz: As long as it doesn't do the Pence-fly thing... Great show, UM, thanks!
	🛒 ♥ 2:50pm Phillippe Bastille: Disheveled
	2:50pm Dean: Is it true Neil only performs live one month out of the year, and only when temperatures exceeded some threshhold?
	♥ 2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc. I'm gonna go with "yes", Dean.
	2:55pm Dean: Boots untied will always be divided.
	🛒 ♥ 2:56pm Brian in UK: David Garrick was a one hit over here if memory serves and this was not it.
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: back to Neil...covering Tom Paxton
	2:58pm dan: And we come full circle. Thanks for a great show UM.
	♥ 2:58pm burke: thanks UM. Love these songwriter shows
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Fantastic show today, Uncle Michael! Thanks so much! Have a swell weekend!
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, burke. I really love doing them. Thanks Rich. Thanks, everyone.
	2:59pm KWilde: The old HDT closer
	♥ 2:59pm Pauly from Clifton: UM, great show as usual! Thanks!
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Pauly.
	♥ 3:00pm Roberto: I see what you did there, UM.
	🛒 ♥ 3:01pm Brian in UK: Like the start/finish irony, biggest surprise that he covered others.
	3:02pm Dean: That Ted Leo appearance with Tom Scharpling was March 13, 2007.
	🛒 ♥ 3:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks UM
	🛒 ♥ 3:02pm spodiodi: thanks, UM!
	3:04pm rw: Nice. Thank you UM. Have a good weekend everyone. Pledge/Vote
	♥ 3:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for that date, Dean! Bye, all.
	♥ 3:07pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks, Unc.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 9, 2020

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.

	♥ 12:08pm Lane Gray: Greetings from Columbus Ohio from Mr. and Mrs. Gray
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: Mrs. Lane!
	♥ 12:10pm Lane Gray: Stupid Otto Krecht. Being a Japanese bluegrass band, they sang it Sweet Carorine.
	12:10pm otto: This feels just right!!!!!!!1
	🛒 ♥ 12:10pm Pedro in Arlington: The late great Yankees captain Thurman Munson was a big Neil fan. Not sure if Neil was a Munson fan.
	12:10pm dan: I believe that the animation is from "Neil Diamond Parking Lot", an unofficial sequel to "Heavy Metal Parking Lot", when Judas Priest played the same venue a decade earlier.
	♥ 12:10pm Uncle Michael: otto! Pedro!
	♥ 12:10pm Lane Gray: I didn't know that was a Neil.

	12:15pm rw: Neil Diamond was one of my dad's favorites.
	♥ 12:15pm Uncle Michael: Hubig! TIMING!
	♥ 12:15pm Hubig Pie: Question answered
	♥ 12:16pm burke: "I've never cared for the sound of being alone"
	12:16pm dan: I saw a Neil Diamond concert from 2012 on PBS some time back, the mix of young and old people in the audience singing the words and having a ball was just amazing.
	♥ 12:17pm ottovonbqe: this is a really good killdozer song i never heard before.
	♥ 12:17pm Uncle Michael: ottovonbqe!
	12:21pm Erella: This is a beautiful version of this song. I forget that Jose Feliciano created a huge body of work.
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: Erella!
	12:22pm Erella: Hi Uncle Michael!
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Hey there Uncle Michael. Any chance we might hear David Hasselhoff covering Forever In Blue Jeans?
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Umm...
	🛒 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: Crazy busy, but checking in to say hi!
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: I can't skip a rope...or this Henson Cargill version.
	12:25pm Erella: There had been restaurant that was inside a decommissioned streetcar inside a little strip mall. It was a small place. I heard Jose Feliciano play there in maybe 1988. I might have been the only one there in the 20 or so audience members who was there to hear him specifically.
	♥ 12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm Lizardner Dave 2: Pour me a drink and I'll sell you some fries. Wait, how does that go again?
	♥ 12:25pm Uncle Michael: I saw Jose at the Belly Up in Aspen and the place was packed.
	12:26pm dan: Forever In Blue Jeans was a song that was written to be a country song, but it came out as a pop tune for Diamond.
	♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	🛒 ♥ 12:26pm listener Rey: Hiya UM!Love Jose Feliciano and really diggin your set
	♥ 12:26pm jmd: Uncle!
	12:27pm johnk77: is that related to bellyup in california?

	🛒 ♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: jijiji UM
	♥ 12:29pm Uncle Michael: Yes! We'll maybe hear from Sasha today.
	12:30pm Creebie: Jennifer Hudson’s performance of Holly Holy at the Musicares/Grammys tribute a few years ago was supposed to be great but its never been released so I guess we’ll have to settle for Cher’s version.
	♥ 12:30pm Uncle Michael: Creebie! Or maybe not...
	♥ 12:31pm Roberto: Whoops, totally spaced and forgot to switch to the Dummer stream! Er, Drummer.
	♥ 12:31pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	♥ 12:32pm Roberto: Unc!
	12:33pm johnk77: couple of stutters today in wired internet audio could be verizon here in nyc in the last 1 of about 5 seconds the twitch video appeared to keep going
	12:33pm Mark R: A friend of mine said he spotted Neil Diamond on an old episode of "Mannix."
	12:35pm dan: My viewing this week have been clips from Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary Concert at MSG from 1992. Everything from George Harrison to The Band to Sinead O'Connor getting booed off the stage.
	12:37pm Mark R: When you put Sinead at the end of that list, it's possible to mis-read it as EVERYBODY getting booed off the stage. BTW, knowing what we now know about sexual abuse in the church, Sinead was right all along.
	12:37pm dan: @Mark R I tip my hat to Sinead.
	🛒 ♥ 12:38pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone!
	♥ 12:38pm Uncle Michael: Mark! john, unbroken stream since the start here...knock wood
	12:38pm KWilde: Great choices as always - looking forward to a great show
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: Cmurtha! KWilde!
	12:39pm dan: In the US, Cliff Richard is a disco artist, but in the UK, he was so much more.
	12:39pm johnk77: here i go to restart router & ont box
	12:40pm Mark R: Saw a pic of him meeting Princess Di in the 80s, seems to me the dude coasted on his wicked good looks.
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: He might have coasted but he was a real talent.
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: Ask Rik Mayall.
	♥ 12:41pm Uncle Michael: here comes a followup to a big hit...
	12:43pm KWilde: Dismissed Neil as a square when I was a kid but love him now
	12:43pm Mark R: Well, let's agree that he was a handsome devil, then. TBH I never knew much about him except he was always an example of pre-Beatles pop stars who were huge in UK but couldn't quite break in the US.
	12:43pm Listening Out There: The Marcie Blane is great. She must have snagged this tune before Lesley Gore could...
	12:44pm Mark R: My primary respect for Neil is as a songwriter. He's not my cup of tea as a performer, no disrespect to any DJs who may choose to include him on their excellent radio programs.
	♥ 12:45pm Uncle Michael: LOT, it was a followup the Marcie's big hit, Bobby's Girl.
	♥ 12:45pm Hubig Pie: My fav Mr Diamond song
	♥ 12:45pm ottovonbqe: i too learned to appreciate neil young late in life. couldn't accept my mother was right about 1 thing.
	🛒 ♥ 12:45pm spodiodi: my mother made sure i almost ever went a day without hearing some Neil Diamond. i'll probably send her your show later, UM
	♥ 12:45pm ottovonbqe: i mean neil diamond.
	🛒 ♥ 12:45pm spodiodi: (thanks!)
	♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael: listen to your mothers
	12:47pm Lewis: my Mom brought me to Charlie Pride...
	♥ 12:47pm Uncle Michael: see? Lewis!
	12:48pm Lewis: (my Uncle Micheal brought me to Neil Diamond)
	12:50pm dan: For all you Yankee fans on the comments board, Whitey Ford died yesterday at 93.
	12:50pm Dean: My mom gave me a soft spot for Diamanda Galas, and she wanted me to be just like John Cage. "Sit down and shut up!"
	🛒 ♥ 12:50pm spodiodi: lol Dean
	♥ 12:50pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello everybody! Thanks for spotlighting( even if occasionally ironically) one of the great prides of Brooklyn, UM.
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! YW
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Queens represent.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Jay Traynor...man.
	12:56pm Really Lisa: I had to school myself on Neil Diamond in the streets of the burbs.. My mom played accordion and recorder, and listened to Sephardic Ladino music.
	♥ 12:58pm Uncle Michael: Monty Python introduced me to Clodagh Rodgers.
	♥ 1:01pm Roberto: Yes. I am a Jack-in-the-Box!
	♥ 1:01pm Fuzzy: Bicycle Repairman!
	♥ 1:02pm Roberto: He also thought he was Trotsky.
	♥ 1:06pm Uncle Michael: Fuzzy!
	♥ 1:06pm Roberto: Yay Lulu!
	1:07pm dan: Sounds like she’s saying “The Book That I Wrote”.
	♥ 1:07pm Creature Boy: Good mornin
	🛒 ♥ 1:07pm Cmurtha: Neil really showing he wrote this one in a big way. No masking that one.
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: Creature! Cmurtha; yep!
	♥ 1:11pm Roberto: Remember Weird Al's parody? You Don't Take Your Showers
	🛒 ♥ 1:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Wouldn't really be a show with Liberace!
	1:12pm Rich In Washington: oh my god
	♥ 1:13pm Uncle Michael: Rich! You ok?
	1:14pm Rich in Washington: I'm dying, UM!
	♥ 1:15pm Hubig Pie: Goat alarm, well played
	1:16pm ?: Howdy UM and all, loving this set. Thank-ee!!!
	1:16pm bigplanetnoise: Hola Holy, UM and all HDers!
	1:16pm Marie: ?=me :>)
	♥ 1:17pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Bob!
	♥ 1:18pm Spankyflop: I remember Scharpling doing practically a whole show about Porcupine Pie.
	1:19pm Listening Out There: Sonny on Speed
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: Spankyflop! I wonder if it's in the archives.
	♥ 1:19pm Mike East: I remember that too, Spankyflop! Always my first thought when I hear that song. Hilarious. Good afternoon Uncle Michael and others!
	1:20pm Dean: Oddly, on some of Liberace's comps the song appears as "You Don't Send Me Flowers." Deep Purple covered a Neil Diamond tune? So says an ad in Billboard...
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: Mike! No spoilers, Dean!
	1:21pm Dean: Forwarding the ad to you, UM.
	1:21pm Creebie: You have to admire Sonny’s self confidence.
	1:22pm dan: So there was a reggae version of Red Red Wine before UB40,
	♥ 1:22pm Uncle Michael: Unwarranted as it may have been...
	🛒 ♥ 1:23pm doctorjazz: Red Red Wine works great as Reggae/Ska!
	1:24pm dan: @doctorjazz Was that Neil Diamond's intention?
	🛒 ♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: Could have been, @dan.
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: I don't think so.
	🛒 ♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: Nah, me either.
	1:28pm Dean: Perhaps the source of the Liberace, never mind the title discrepancy: https://www.discogs.com/Liberace-Showstoppers/release/6656404
	1:36pm dan: Cover Chain!!!!!!!!
	🛒 ♥ 1:36pm Cmurtha: Sonny is not without his charms, that song he sings about the woman being on a bad trip is pretty entertaining. He is no Lee Hazelwood, but when he tries to be I think it works, but I've not heard enough of his oeuvreto really comment.
	1:38pm KWilde: I'm in!
	1:38pm dan: No one has that scratchy Irish brogue other than Shane MacGowan.
	1:39pm Marie: I love this!
	🛒 ♥ 1:39pm Cmurtha: I am always torn if Cracklin Rose is genuinely the vastly superior hit compared to Sweet Carolline, or if I've just heard Sweet Caroline so much more in comparison that its lost the luster it once had.
	1:40pm Marie: I got my banjo fix!
	🛒 ♥ 1:40pm Cmurtha: This is a 10/10 cover
	1:42pm dan: Going back to the Bob Dylan tribute from 1992, one of the highlights was The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem covering "When The Ship Comes In", which rivals Dylan's original version.
	1:44pm dan: The MacGowan reminded me of it
	♥ 1:44pm Mike East: @Cmurtha - Cracklin Rose is the superior hit, for sure.
	♥ 1:45pm Uncle Michael: I believe this was a chart hit for Percy.
	♥ 1:46pm Spinning Giant: Crunchy Granola Suite does not sound at all what I thought it was going to sound like...
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: I agree strongly with Mike East.
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	1:47pm Dean: More likely this comp is the source of the Liberace, same false beginning: https://www.pandora.com/artist/liberace/i-play-piano-and-sing-volume-2-live/ALK9ZJxp7j5lqJZ Released in 2011?
	♥ 1:48pm burke: Speaking of unmistakable great voices, it's Alex Chilton!
	♥ 1:51pm Uncle Michael: Sean Bonniwell's too!
	♥ 1:52pm Uncle Michael: chills from the harmonies
	1:57pm dan: Rod Evans era Deep Purple.
	🛒 ♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: Uncle, been listening all the while. His songs can take variations.
	♥ 2:00pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! agreed
	2:00pm dan: @Brian That's the mark of a great songwriter.
	🛒 ♥ 2:02pm Brian in UK: dan, missed that bit out of the comment.
	♥ 2:04pm Spinning Giant: UM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:10pm Listening Out There: Was there a "Book One" recording by Kramer and Frisell?
	♥ 2:10pm Spinning Giant: this is WAAAY better than the warbling almost-dead Johnny Cash version - don't get me wrong - I love warbling almost-dead Rubinized JC - but really - this is...well..thanks, UM! ...delish - guiding me thru the end of my workweek with grace enjoyment and surprises as always - Cheers! (EDIT) ...okay, up until the really hokey "franglais" parts, I was diggint this - the producer should've had the good sense to edit that out...really, come on...
	2:11pm Ira: Did Bert Berns and Bang Records give Neil Diamond his first break?
	2:11pm dan: Pulp Fiction OD scene.
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Good question, Ira. He was selling songs before he hooked up with Bert, so it depends on how one defines "first break".
	♥ 2:14pm Spinning Giant: epic cut - still - it immediately draws me back in - legendary reinterpretation by Nash & the lads...
	2:16pm Dean: According to Jocelyn Faris's 1995 bio-bibliography of Liberace's recordings, appearances, etc., there were then no recordings of "Flowers." He performed the tune during runs at the Nugget Casino in Sparks, NV, and the Las Vegas Hilton ("pure camp," wrote a reviewer) during October and November 1979.
	2:16pm Listening Out There: Nevermind. Kramer did have a predecssor recording...
	♥ 2:16pm Uncle Michael: Doug went long because talks. I'm going LONGER because I talk more!
	♥ 2:19pm Uncle Michael: The Strangers were Irish boyos.
	2:20pm Bill Mac: Uncle Michael.... izzat you?
	♥ 2:20pm Uncle Michael: It reallu is. Bill! You missed Killdozer!
	2:22pm dan: Four Tops doing Neil Diamond's Monkees hit.
	2:22pm Bill Mac: I am I said! I love to hear a duet with Mick Gerald and Neil Diamond.
	2:22pm Dean: Neil Diamond's Monkees...now there's a band name.
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: me too!
	2:25pm Ira: I phrased it poorly - perhaps the first label to give him a bit of creative freedom and not care that he didn't sound like everyone else
	♥ 2:26pm Uncle Michael: Ah, then yes, certainly so, I'd say.
	♥ 2:26pm Uncle Michael: But then his relationship with Bang went sour. I think there was a lot of that going around.
	🛒 ♥ 2:27pm Jeff Golick: This is not terribly germane, but I believe one of my first musical purchases was Neil's The Jazz Singer on cassette.
	♥ 2:28pm Uncle Michael: You achieved a complete recovery, Jeff!
	♥ 2:29pm burke: @Jeff it's not jermaine but it might be tito
	2:29pm dan: I've never seen Neil's version of The Jazz Singer, has anyone seen it and how did they like it?
	♥ 2:30pm Uncle Michael: Lucy Arnez stole the film.
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM. No joke, I do think I was under the weather at the time, too. (@burke: ha!)
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm Cmurtha: DUN DUN DUN
	♥ 2:34pm Little Danny: Hi UM, hi all! Better late than never, wheeee.
	♥ 2:34pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi - been stuck in meetings all morning but finally here.
	2:35pm rw: Ha! I've been to Stull. Didn't the devil come from KS?
	2:36pm dan: Probably turned the Stull into Condos
	♥ 2:38pm Uncle Michael: Danny! Lizzie! rw, the devil is still here. Why were you there?
	🛒 ♥ 2:41pm doctorjazz: Soolaimon is wonderful!
	2:41pm Ira: Bert Berns was quite a character - did you ever see the DVD about him?
	2:42pm rw: You know, I was in college nearby. Passed through on my way to Topeka on the bicycle once or twice. Gates of hell, and all.
	♥ 2:42pm Uncle Michael: I keep meaning to watch that doc. I haven't.
	♥ 2:43pm Uncle Michael: Doc, I was sad not to locate covers of the rest of the African Trilogy.
	♥ 2:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm keeping an eye on a wasp in here. I'll catch and release after the show's over.
	🛒 ♥ 2:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey there. Late as usual. No hall pass as usual.
	♥ 2:48pm Uncle Michael: Detention.
	2:48pm Dean: Anti-WASP?
	🛒 ♥ 2:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Breakfast club. Do you think Molly Ringwald would go for a guy like me?
	♥ 2:50pm Uncle Michael: How do you look in untied boots?
	🛒 ♥ 2:50pm doctorjazz: As long as it doesn't do the Pence-fly thing... Great show, UM, thanks!
	🛒 ♥ 2:50pm Phillippe Bastille: Disheveled
	2:50pm Dean: Is it true Neil only performs live one month out of the year, and only when temperatures exceeded some threshhold?
	♥ 2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc. I'm gonna go with "yes", Dean.
	2:55pm Dean: Boots untied will always be divided.
	🛒 ♥ 2:56pm Brian in UK: David Garrick was a one hit over here if memory serves and this was not it.
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: back to Neil...covering Tom Paxton
	2:58pm dan: And we come full circle. Thanks for a great show UM.
	♥ 2:58pm burke: thanks UM. Love these songwriter shows
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Fantastic show today, Uncle Michael! Thanks so much! Have a swell weekend!

	♥ 3:00pm Roberto: I see what you did there, UM.
	🛒 ♥ 3:01pm Brian in UK: Like the start/finish irony, biggest surprise that he covered others.
