Listener comments!

  11:53am Michael:

Crazy morning here in the Hub but strapped in now. Halo charlie!
  11:56am kat330:

Hi, Charlie, Michael and those soon to arrive! Got here on time for once.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:56am charlie:

hello Michael -- maybe the day will be a little less crazy now!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:57am charlie:

good morning, early adopter kat330!
  11:59am kat330:

So you're going to be bellowing at us today, eh?
  12:01pm ndbob:

heya Charlie, Kat, Michael, everyone!
  12:02pm Michael:

Ahhh,,,,things seem much better now....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:02pm charlie:

Hiya Bob!
Bellowing at ya from Bellows Falls, VT (nearby town).
  12:02pm kat330:

Bob! Tumblin' Tumbleweed, a classic in any format on any instrument.
  12:05pm Wendy del Formaggio:

All morning I was busy doing nothing. Now I'm busy doing actual STUFF. And listening to the ray-dee-oh, at least for the time being. HI CHARLIE! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm charlie:

Hi Wendeeeee!
How was your radio show last night on WVEW?
  12:09pm Webhamster Henry:

Bellows Falls is a longtime clown town for Spoonerists.
  12:11pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie, thanks for asking! I am very happy with it. I totally felt "on" last night. You know the feeling. When it all comes together nicely, and even a mis-cue (d'oh!) doesn't matter.
  12:12pm Wendy del Formaggio:

I haven't heard this Sonic Youth song since I was 17. It's the perfect teenage song!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12pm charlie:

Great, Wendy :) That's a good feeling.
Yes, Henry, that's how we refer to that town 'round here!
  12:13pm ndbob:

What time is your show on Wendy?
  12:13pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Webhamster Henry, you are so right about Fellows... er, I mean Bellows Falls. It's a local long-running joke.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm charlie:

It'd take a teenage riot to get me out of bed right now....
  12:14pm kat330:

Hey, Webhamster, if you enjoy Spoonerisms, here are some I've "composed": http://kat330.posterous.com/shortz-cuts-spoonerisms
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:14pm charlie:

7-9pm Wednesdays, Bob:
wvew.org
  12:15pm Wendy del Formaggio:

ndbob, I'm on Wednesdays from 7-9pm Eastern Time. Tune in! My show is called "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".
  12:17pm kat330:

And I haven't heard "Thirsty Boots" since I was a young teen. Thanks for inter-generational programming, Charlie! :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:19pm charlie:

Septuagenerian programming coming up!
  12:21pm ndbob:

TY Wendy... I had a friend whose Dad was in the Coast Guard, and one of his assignments was to look for the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
  12:21pm Lewis:

I don't know what it is about Durante, but I *really* like him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:23pm charlie:

Hi Lewis! He seems so sincere.
  12:23pm kat330:

@Wendy: A quick glimpse of your program description, yes, you fit very nicely in the FMU fold.
  12:24pm Van in DC:

Oh, hello there Charlie and everyone. Late but I have a good excuse - I was listening to a GTDS show from some years back on archive :)
  12:26pm Lewis:

@charlie - yes and he doesn't take himself too seriously
  12:35pm kat330:

Speaking of septuagenarians: Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan!
  12:37pm Webhamster Henry:

@kat Yank thou!
  12:38pm Gary Mitchell:

This set is wickety wack!
  12:39pm kat330:

You're wost melcome, Wenry! :)
And Charlie, thank you for this set, taking me back to some, wavy memories. :)
  12:40pm Webhamster Henry:

is Talking Heads AIR in the offing? and now that earth and air air covered, how about fire and water?
  12:40pm don:

hello air and charlie and all !
  12:42pm kat330:

Ding, ding, ding. Although, CHARLIE is actually playing the version by a gruesome group called "TaKing Heads." Heh!
  12:43pm Michael:

And the Sweetbreaths!
  12:45pm kat330:

Or & the Executioners.
  12:46pm Michael:

Taking Heads is the house band at King's Landing
  12:51pm kat330:

This one's great on a caliope as well.
  12:54pm Michael:

Just saw the In Like Flint music bed - love those movies as a kid. My ringtone is the ringtone from the movie. Annoying to others but I love it.
  12:56pm still b/p:

This is great. I see sparkly sports jackets for every number in the set.
  12:58pm kat330:

a-ONE and a-TWO...yes, sparkles and bubbles.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:00pm charlie:

Hi Gary! Hello Don! Yo still b/p!
Henry -- next week: fire and rain (just kidding)
  1:00pm Laura L:

I believe The Main Squeeze is just about the last accordion shop remaining in NYC, owned by the wunderbar Walter Kuhr, and where you can sometimes find the amazing artist Paul Lincoln, who can build custom accordions. www.mainsqueeze-nyc.com
  1:03pm kat330:

Aw, with the sp. fix, Charlie, my "Taking Heads" comments will make no sense. Par for the course. ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:06pm charlie:

Hi Laura L! Sounds like a great place, for players and non-players alike.
Well, kat330 -- I had to fix it once you mentioned it :)
  1:07pm ndbob:

heya Gary!
  1:07pm Gary Mitchell:

hey ND man
  1:13pm Wendy del Formaggio:

ndbob and kat330: Sorry! I was in another window, writing. ndbob: Cool! I hope he didn't have to listen to that insufferable song while he searched. kat330: Why shucks, thank you! I grew up listening to FMU since I was 12, so there's been plenty of time for it to sink in...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:14pm charlie:

Hey, it's the wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald!
  1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio:

And you can read all about it in the Wreck of the Rutland Herald!
  1:16pm kat330:

Accordion in major keys may be all sparkly jackets, but in the minor keys, and like that wonderful Real Fish piece, so great to choreograph tangos to.
  1:24pm Webhamster Henry:

Walter also repairs your busted accordion, and last time I was there has some reasonably priced Chinese ones.
  1:31pm kat330:

Or a sweet little waltz...
  1:34pm ndbob:

nice one here Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:39pm charlie:

Jostiband: "As the largest music group of mentally handicapped in the world, this group from Zwammerdam has been playing music with great success for more than almost fourty years."
  1:44pm kat330:

I like that "more than almost" descriptor!
  1:44pm Van in DC:

Guess I came in at the wrong time earlier. mosying on back to the archive show I have on hold I goes. Have a good week.
  1:45pm kat330:

Hey, Van! No wrong time on the perpetual stream!
  1:53pm northguineahills:

  1:54pm Gary Mitchell:

  1:56pm ndbob:

  1:57pm northguineahills:

There's never too much Yoko!
  1:58pm kat330:

This is scary (hiding my eyes).
  2:00pm northguineahills:

Wish I was here for more o the show, but the tapas I got was well worth it!
  2:01pm Webhamster Henry:

Very nice array of Accordion picks, Charlie. SAY: "Klu-sev-ik".
  2:01pm kat330:

Thanks for all the fresh air, in and out, Charlie! Next week!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:03pm charlie:
