	♥ 9:51am People Like Us: ↳ Charlie @9:31 All around - but it could be that the Drummer Stream is a lower volume than the terrestrial WFMU stream
	♥ 9:52am chresti: Morning TDK60. It is good digging deep into knots of pain.

	♥ 10:18am Mxter Baba: and hello, Charlie and folx!
	♥ 10:20am Polyus: I don't know how many people caught that episode of 60 Minutes detailing his final performance with Lady Gaga, but it was really amazing. He sang those old songs so well and with such joy and yet had no recollection of even having been there a day or two later. Memory is such a complicated thing, I saw this firsthand with my own dad.
	♥ 10:20am Mxter Baba: omx I think I went to Organ Grinder Pizza when I was a wee child!

	♥ 10:28am βrian: Well hey, Charlie. Don't you wish you were back in Keene? Hello from the isthmus.
	♥ 10:30am listener james from westwood: Also, cat updates from the studio are always welcome.
	♥ 10:30am Charlie: ↳ Alex In Illinois @10:23 That's the reference:)
	♥ 10:31am Mxter Baba: ↳ TDK60 @10:28 ha ha! TDK60kins!
	♥ 10:31am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I've Got the World on a String" by "Ella Fitzgera... Late Ella, but sounding fine. Pass always sounded great (sounds like he's on a nylon string guitar)

	♥ 10:31am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Ain't Got No/I Got Life" by "Nina Simone" I was waiting for the Nina part of the show.
	♥ 10:32am Charlie: ↳ Mxter Baba @10:24 Along those lines, the docu about Glen Campbell is quite poignant
	♥ 10:33am doctorjazz: Will have to run, will take the show in the car for a bit. Thanks for nothin', Charlie!
	♥ 10:33am chresti: ↳ Mxter Baba @10:31 Yeah! Mxter Babakins!
	10:34am Dean: Those Pablo records w/ Pass, Ellington, Big Joe Turner, Ella, Sarah, et al., are real gems.
	♥ 10:34am doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @10:34 True dat, recorded well too.
	♥ 10:35am WR: Though this "Got" set is female swing oriented, when I heard your lead in, Something You Got is what came to mind.
	♥ 10:35am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti @10:33 chrestikinnnssss!!
	♥ 10:37am Charlie: Hi Judy, βrian!
	♥ 10:37am Charlie: ↳ βrian @10:28 New Hampshire good, Arizona also good!

	10:52am Peter K.: The one between Louis and Keely and the Beatles.
	♥ 10:53am Charlie: right-o
	♥ 10:53am doctorjazz: OK, GOT to go, thanks again! (Was also wondering what was before, and after, the Beatles...).
	♥ 10:54am βrian: ↳ doctorjazz @10:53 Are you stateside now?
	♥ 10:57am doctorjazz: ↳ βrian @10:54 Yup, and very jet lagged...
	11:00am rw: Good morning! It's much nicer here in the cargo hold.
	11:02am rw: Thank you Charlie for filling in. Enjoying.

	11:11am Marie in Queens: Sir Doug! Howdy. I hope you're having a fantastic time.
	♥ 11:11am doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:07 Don't finish off all the lobster...
	11:12am Marie in Queens: This track is amazing too.
	11:12am Marie in Queens: This and the last song are like a soul bath
	♥ 11:13am βrian: Lobster bisque with tarragon and popovers for lunch, folks.
	♥ 11:13am StringOFperils: I saw Najma when she toured that LP. Good show.
	11:13am Marie in Queens: ↳ StringOFperils @11:13 I bet. Sounds wonderful

	♥ 11:20am Charlie: heya, spodiodi:)
	♥ 11:21am Sem: ↳ spodiodi @11:20 Yo, S'po!
	♥ 11:21am Zipperhead7: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:15 I was talking with friends last night about NYC cab drivers, and recalled a wild ride several years ago, where the driver was blasting Manu Dibango and practically had the car up on two wheels, missing parked cars by inches and never dropping below 40 mph. At the end of the ride, I complimented him. "I am from Cameroun and I am a fucking WARRIOR, man!" he said. "At home there is everything in the road. Everything! Here there are lanes and lights. It is too easy. I cut through this city like a hot knife through butter!" I gave him a $50 tip.
	11:21am Marie in Queens: I just watched this documentary about David Johansen last night (directed by Martin Scorcese). Very enjoyable
	11:22am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:20 Greetings Andrew in Toronto! @)
	♥ 11:24am spodiodi: ↳ Sem @11:21 yo ho, S'em!
	11:25am Marie in Queens: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 I love it. That is a great story. I always enjoyed (and was slightly scared) thrilling cab rides (have had a few more ordinary ones that involved extremely high speeds down avenues in the city on a green light flow. (Since they started enforcing speed now, you don't see as much of that now)
	11:26am 1MT: Gotta go, Charlie, but I had a great time. Diggin you, diggin you!
	11:27am Marie in Queens: Hey Spod
	♥ 11:28am Uncle Michael: Please consider joining me for Hinky Dinly Time at the top of the hour. There are worse things you could do. wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:28am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @11:24 hey spodi!
	♥ 11:28am Charlie: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 Great story! My most terrifying cab ride was in central NJ, when the cab came too late to get us to the train station, so ran on back roads to get us to the next station before the train, like some kind of Dukes of Hazard ride.
	♥ 11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:25 Sleeping pups: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marie in Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:28 Oh, I'm so happy you're back! Yay!

	♥ 11:31am Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:29 Thank you, Marie.
	11:31am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 OMG. Soooo cute. And I was surprised to see that it is live. That makes it even more special. Great channel to bookmark and visit regularly. Thanks, Andrew!
	11:32am frenchee: Love GSH’s voice
	11:33am Marie in Queens: I saw GSH in London once. I was visiting and met some really cool peeps and they had an extra ticket (!)
	♥ 11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:31 You`re welcome.
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: Once, as a tourist, waiting for the light to change, in a knotted group of weary folks going to work at 8 in the morning, somewhere in midtown Manhattan, a hurtling yellow cab totally nailed an elderly woman who had entered the crosswalk on the other side, and she actual flew past us in a long arc, like a limp crash-test dummy, turfing across the asphalt and coming to rest. Momentarily, for she got up and began to walk away! Until the horrified cab-driver ran to her, and prevented her from going anywhere. We all winced, collectively, and were stunned. The speed was incredible and so was the unspeakable absurdity of the violence. It's an adventure in the world of the New York taxicab, but the risk is real.
	11:36am Dean: Heading to LA next week, precisely when a gallery exhibition of Horace Tapscott archival material will be mounted! The Pan Afrikan Arkestra will play, but alas, it will be on the day we depart.
	♥ 11:38am northguineahills: oy, made it!

	♥ 11:41am WR: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 oh, haven't seen the Johansen doc yet. Todd on WFMU on Saturdays did interview with Johansen when it was first released. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am rw: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Whoa. Crazy (and well told). I hope the lady was okay.
	♥ 11:43am StringOFperils: ↳ rw @11:42 No way. I remember quietly giving her 'til about 3 pm
	♥ 11:43am Charlie: Here's the link for Hinky Dinky time with Uncle Michael, to follow this show: wfmu.org...
	11:44am rw: Ugh. Now I'm in shock.
	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Felt bad for everybody all around. A PTSD moment. Probably should have kept that to myself. It was just the bravado of the other cabbie in the above story....
	♥ 11:49am chresti: My taxi ride was on the way to Negril from Montego Bay airport. Very busy 2 lane rd with the driver playing chicken whenever passing cars- pulled over to buy ganga and chat up the dealer on the roadside..luckily we weren't in a hurry

	11:16am Doug Schulkind: @Marie in Queens Having a wildly peaceful time. Seen three foxes in the last few days. Life is good when you see foxes.

	♥ 11:21am Sem: ↳ spodiodi @11:20 Yo, S'po!
	♥ 11:21am Zipperhead7: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:15 I was talking with friends last night about NYC cab drivers, and recalled a wild ride several years ago, where the driver was blasting Manu Dibango and practically had the car up on two wheels, missing parked cars by inches and never dropping below 40 mph. At the end of the ride, I complimented him. "I am from Cameroun and I am a fucking WARRIOR, man!" he said. "At home there is everything in the road. Everything! Here there are lanes and lights. It is too easy. I cut through this city like a hot knife through butter!" I gave him a $50 tip.
	11:21am Marie in Queens: I just watched this documentary about David Johansen last night (directed by Martin Scorcese). Very enjoyable
	11:22am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:20 Greetings Andrew in Toronto! @)
	♥ 11:24am spodiodi: ↳ Sem @11:21 yo ho, S'em!
	11:25am Marie in Queens: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 I love it. That is a great story. I always enjoyed (and was slightly scared) thrilling cab rides (have had a few more ordinary ones that involved extremely high speeds down avenues in the city on a green light flow. (Since they started enforcing speed now, you don't see as much of that now)
	11:26am 1MT: Gotta go, Charlie, but I had a great time. Diggin you, diggin you!
	11:27am Marie in Queens: Hey Spod
	♥ 11:28am Uncle Michael: Please consider joining me for Hinky Dinly Time at the top of the hour. There are worse things you could do. wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:28am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @11:24 hey spodi!
	♥ 11:28am Charlie: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 Great story! My most terrifying cab ride was in central NJ, when the cab came too late to get us to the train station, so ran on back roads to get us to the next station before the train, like some kind of Dukes of Hazard ride.
	♥ 11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:25 Sleeping pups: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marie in Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:28 Oh, I'm so happy you're back! Yay!

	11:31am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 OMG. Soooo cute. And I was surprised to see that it is live. That makes it even more special. Great channel to bookmark and visit regularly. Thanks, Andrew!
	11:32am frenchee: Love GSH’s voice
	11:33am Marie in Queens: I saw GSH in London once. I was visiting and met some really cool peeps and they had an extra ticket (!)
	♥ 11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:31 You`re welcome.
	♥ 11:36am StringOFperils: Once, as a tourist, waiting for the light to change, in a knotted group of weary folks going to work at 8 in the morning, somewhere in midtown Manhattan, a hurtling yellow cab totally nailed an elderly woman who had entered the crosswalk on the other side, and she actual flew past us in a long arc, like a limp crash-test dummy, turfing across the asphalt and coming to rest. Momentarily, for she got up and began to walk away! Until the horrified cab-driver ran to her, and prevented her from going anywhere. We all winced, collectively, and were stunned. The speed was incredible and so was the unspeakable absurdity of the violence. It's an adventure in the world of the New York taxicab, but the risk is real.
	11:36am Dean: Heading to LA next week, precisely when a gallery exhibition of Horace Tapscott archival material will be mounted! The Pan Afrikan Arkestra will play, but alas, it will be on the day we depart.
	♥ 11:38am northguineahills: oy, made it!

	♥ 11:41am WR: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 oh, haven't seen the Johansen doc yet. Todd on WFMU on Saturdays did interview with Johansen when it was first released. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am rw: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Whoa. Crazy (and well told). I hope the lady was okay.
	♥ 11:43am StringOFperils: ↳ rw @11:42 No way. I remember quietly giving her 'til about 3 pm
	♥ 11:43am Charlie: Here's the link for Hinky Dinky time with Uncle Michael, to follow this show: wfmu.org...
	11:44am rw: Ugh. Now I'm in shock.
	♥ 11:45am StringOFperils: Felt bad for everybody all around. A PTSD moment. Probably should have kept that to myself. It was just the bravado of the other cabbie in the above story....
	♥ 11:49am chresti: My taxi ride was on the way to Negril from Montego Bay airport. Very busy 2 lane rd with the driver playing chicken whenever passing cars- pulled over to buy ganga and chat up the dealer on the roadside..luckily we weren't in a hurry

	♥ 11:51am bobdc: Near the end of "Keep on Going" (What a vocal from Christine! And what amazing strings!) there were about two bars that I know have been sample by a big hiphop hit sometime, but it wasn't the Tokyo band with two entries at www.whosampled.com... Did anyone else recognize it?
	♥ 11:52am northguineahills: luckily, i have access to the replays so i don't have to see every game live w/ it being aotearoa/oz. (men's wc 2002 in Japan/Korea was interesting watching live).
	11:52am Dean: I haven't been to LACMA or MOMA in so long! But heading out today to SF's Legion of Honor for The Tudors exhibit. First of several visits, I hope.
	♥ 11:52am northguineahills: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:41 (watching spain/costa rica now.., saw nigeria/canada last night [0-0])
