<div><font size="3">That is an easy one for the Golden Pell, When The Deal Goes Down.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">I thought it was lyrically right on.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Funny, listening to Dylan sing it, I swear I hear him letting out little sobs in it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks for the listen and sharing that experience,</font></div>

<p>Hey Mike,</p>
<p>It didn't look like I'd get to this, but I did. I'm keeping this one simple.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There's just too much emotion going on in your voice to give the Golden Pell to anything other than "When The Deal Goes Down". That song fit perfectly for you and lyrically it was brilliant. </p>

<p>Gave my promised listen today and I am very scared. Niels posted some songs from Tom Waites' new album a little while ago and I liked it. I liked the songs in this episode as much as the first episode, so what does this mean?????</p>

<p>Fantastic listen though Mike. I thing Christgau got something right!</p>

<div><font size="3">Not a conscious effort to avoid it- but I know what it says and how I will feel.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Excellent choice for the Golden Pell, Beyond The Horizon.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It was good to have Engineer Ken with me on that old one, we had become such good friends.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">We had decided to just play an album, since I had no theme in mind, nothing prepared to play- hadn't given it any thought, things just didn't seem that important as it was only about two weeks after the funeral.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I thought I was going along fairly nicely, although stumbling over words.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But that song was hanging over my head, I had picked it and was going to play it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It was incredible how fast I went from being the regular person I always am, to one helluva sad and weepy guy.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I don't think anybody would have thought I was mourning, just having a rough day.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Every time I went to see her, and she was dead in less than 6 weeks, I would pray she would be better but she looked worse.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I would stay there in Pennsylvania for a week or more each visit, my jobs were all very nice about it.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I remember thinking the last time I saw her it wouldn't be long, and she would be better off dead- she would LOOK better dead!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I said my goodbyes to her, never knowing if she could hear me or not.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Came home to Brooklyn, worked as Announcer the next day, and she died that night.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I remember her brother-in-law breaking my hump about not being there when she died.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But I told him I had no way of knowing when that would happen, and I had to continue my own life and responsibilities, I got a little ticked about.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Ah well, that was then, this is now.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But it took 5 years to re-play this show!</font></div>

<p>Love being first and beating RJ and Jonster to the punch!</p>

<p>Very touching to read your narrative and then to hear your hurt. Some songs a special to us for lots of reasons, some hold that special someone close to us for all time. Those are the ones that stir our soul forever. I have a few of them that knock me over when I hear them still.</p>

<p>Really felt Beyond The Horizon, very nice track! So thats my Golden Pell! But the song When The Deal Goes Down, thats the one I think you were referring to in your narrative... Touching!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, like it or not! It makes us who we are.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Much more melancholy show this time. But your emotions come across and that made it a classic!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing your good times and your rough times Mike!</p>
