Listener comments!
	11:03am HyperDose: Good morning, Tom! Hope you're hunkered down and keeping warm. Great way to ease us into the snowy afternoon. :)
	11:05am TomDash: Hey there HyperDose - yep, keeping warm...just gonna have to do some shoveling later! digging into the jams for now...
	11:09am HyperDose: I was perusing your store's site, very nice!. I did some time at the wine shop here in Maplewood. My dad gave me a copy of Kevin Zraly's book as a crash course, and as it turned out, my old boss and his wife took his class. It's my bible now.
	11:10am TomDash: Nice! Yeah I changed careers several years back and Kevin Zraly's book was my first crash course too! Perfect intro...
	11:14am HyperDose: What did you do before the wine business if you don't mind me asking?
	11:20am TomDash: Worked in independent film distribution, marketing, theatrical booking...left that and did a stint at booking bands which didn't pay the bills! Then fell into wine retail sales...
	11:26am HyperDose: That's amazing, and inspiring! It's definitely more beneficial to expand your skillset as much as possible. Opens more doors. Growing up I idolized A&R's, but realized that's a tough gig to land. Way more fun to be the guy behind the desk twisting knobs!
	11:27am LesleyK: happy snowstorm!
	11:31am TomDash: Hey there LesleyK! indeed...although I'm gonna have to shovel out the shop in a few!
	11:33am LesleyK: oh man, good luck w that!
	11:41am HyperDose: Blowin' Through Yokohama! is more than reasonably priced on Discogs. And Witch was the first Zambian band to record and release a commercial album? To the wishlist you both go!
	11:42am Sunraye Hawkind: This radio station is saving my soul! Thank you!
	11:45am TomDash: Hey there @Sunraye - thanks for hanging! And I LOVE my Hawkwind (but that's for my OTHER show...ha!) - www.wfmu.org...
	11:46am TomDash: Yeah HyperDose - Witch is a great band - all those early records got reissued - I missed the shows, but they actually reunited and toured the states a year or 2 ago...Zambia 70s rock/funk is pretty great across the board....
	11:54am HyperDose: Yeah the 2013 reissue is much more reasonably priced then the original pressing ($500), holy cow! I love the mix of styles. Thank you Tom! I thought it couldn't get better than Down in the Basement, but you really blew my mind with last week's DotDash Radio. Stay safe and warm everyone!
	11:56am TomDash: Hey thanks HyperDose - glad you dig the show(s)! Thanks y'all for hanging this morning for the funk...time to get on my boots and shovel! Til next week...
	6:47pm ultradamno: Tom! Dashers and Downers! Sounds like you were trying to melt the snow with funk heat today.
