	🚂 12:07pm YETI BOB: "Music of India" in 1 hour - that would be a challenge!
	🚂 12:07pm Yvang: c't'accent!
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Yeti Bob: Yes, one medium-length piece would do it.

	12:11pm coelacanth∅: hi David & Freedom Riders
	🚂 12:11pm Michael 98145: g'day
	12:12pm David Dichelle: Good days, Coel and Michael!
	🚂 12:12pm WR: Korea, either one is my guess.
	12:13pm David Dichelle: Guess one get one free, WR!
	🚂 12:13pm Bas NL: Hi David! Sneak-listening from work!
	12:13pm David Dichelle: I mean everyone can guess as many as they like, of course.
	12:13pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	🚂 12:14pm dutchtheo: Hello, David, punx and bob cats !
	12:14pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Theo!
	12:14pm coelacanth∅: you can guess many but then you wont be a winner with any
	12:14pm Sem: Armenia, please, DD, is my random route selection. Hope I can drink the water.
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: anyway i'm going with atlantis
	🚂 12:15pm YETI BOB: @Sem: City In The Sky!
	🚂 12:15pm WR: we hear you fine.
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: Sem! i was probably going to guess armenia today!
	12:16pm 1ke: Does Anguilla count as a country for these purposes? If so, that’s my guess.
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David, Voyagers! Leaping onto the car as it zooms past, but I can cling for forty minutes or so.
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: I never had any formal French education, so does "Les Chauffeurs à Pieds" mean "Foot drivers"? or "Shoe Drivers"? or something like that?
	12:17pm Sem: Must be your Armenia amnesia acting up, coel. Thanks, Yeti the B, just looked that up!
	🚂 12:17pm Handy Haversack: Ike, it does.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: i almost chose armenia a few weeks ago but there'd been a conversation about it and i didn't want it to seem that i was obsessing
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela! Glad to have made it for the Roud!
	12:20pm Sem: @Alex: from their website (English version) French-Canadian Traditional Music The four musicians of Les Chauffeurs à pieds (meaning either Drivers on Foot or The Feet Warmers) are incontestably among the best in Canada for playing reels and jigs on fiddle, harmonica, mandolin, recorder, French horn, guitar, and foot tapping, as well as signing traditional upbeat or old ballad songs. With its eight albums, including some nominations for prestigious awards, its collaboration with several well-renowned artists, enthusiastic reviews from the media, successful international tours, not to speak of its musical intelligence and twisted sense of humour in English, Les Chauffeurs à pieds confirms its status among today’s main folk bands.
	12:21pm David Dichelle: Hello 1ke, Alex, and Handy back again!
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Anguilla sure does count, Ike!
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Lot of Quebec bands with references to the foot-tapping tradition like La Bottine Souriante ("the smiling boot").
	🚂 12:24pm YETI BOB: @Sem: My head is so full of rock and pop songs, almost everything triggers some sort of association
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Hey David and Riders!
	12:25pm David Dichelle: Hey there Dr. Jazz!
	12:25pm mauri: oh yes planxty!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: And Mauri, great to see you!
	12:27pm still b/p: Bit of local controversy when our mayor agreed recently to issue a proclamation. This wasn't the language used , but it was to "acknowledge the 1992 killing of hundreds of Azeris by Armenian and Soviet forces." The actual language included the term "genocide" The headline in print coverage was about how the proclamation "opens old wounds" regarding history, disputes, violence, perceptions and terms used. The naivete of the mayor and anyone around her in not looking carefully at the regional history and realizing quickly that caution and sense should've applied in the assessing and deciding....well, it's surprising and puzzling. And disappointing.
	12:27pm mauri: this album and bothy bands first in your ears for a fueled walk in a cool autumn wind to town for a pub. spirits rising.
	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: I wonder if it influenced the Battlefield Band's "The Rovin' Dies Hard."
	12:28pm Sem: You're doing life right, mauri. Hope all good there w/ you.
	12:29pm mauri: Fair winds for you Sem! All good.
	🚂 12:32pm Brian in UK: Hello David & fellow travellers. mauri, do you notice ant effects of global warming?
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Brian!
	🚂 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Yesterday, they gave us a break at 12:45. 12:15 today. At least I got the Roud! But Kate was going to get us sandwiches as a treat when she finishes teaching her current class (poetry to seven-year-olds?). The timing is less than ideal now, but I really got my heart set on a cheese and pickle sandwich!
	12:36pm David Dichelle: Glad you could join us during your break, Handy, enjoy that sandwich!
	12:38pm Hubig Pie: Cheese and pickle sandwich- My only weakness
	12:39pm mauri: biuk, yes the winters have been getting warmer since 1995. the previous winter was really mild. this time a bit more normal. There's more oaks growing wild in our forests too.
	12:42pm Stanley: Hi David. Does the station accept cheese and pickle sandwiches?
	12:42pm mauri: Ants. I woke up on a beach on an island at Saimaa lake one summer to ants tickling me. That's all I got about ants.
	🚂 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Marathon! Mark Hurst on the Subway!
	12:45pm still b/p: If cheese and pickle sandwich is your only weakness, it's clear the number of weaknesses per individual were assigned with massive disparities and serious consequences in the kitchen and beyond.
	12:45pm Stanley: I wish I had a funny name.
	12:45pm David (in London): Damn, I missed the departure and had to get on at this stop. Hello David. Afternoon groovers in transit.
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: Stanley you'd have a funny name if your surname is Laurel. (is your surname Laurel?)
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: greetings David
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Hello Stanley and David! Actually, I could have added that the station is indeed accepting catering in Jersey City but only drop-offs this year for the reasons.
	12:47pm Sem: Is Guffaw taken yet, I wonder?
	12:47pm Hubig Pie: Okay I confess still b/p I also have a weakness for salty snacks and distilled spirits
	12:47pm David (in London): My guess for this week: Uruguay.
	12:48pm Afghanistanley: Yeah, coela but that has already been taken.
	🚂 12:49pm chresti: Cheese on sourdough toast is one of my weaknesses.
	12:49pm DJ Humorous Moniker: Stanley with the name and guess!
	12:50pm Afghanistanley: Absolutely, DJ Moniker
	🚂 12:50pm Bas NL: I'm with you DiL.. guessing Uruguay as well. And taking the tram back home! Laters..
	12:51pm David (in London): Good man Bas. We can crack those champagne corks together!
	12:53pm David Dichelle: Tram safely, Bas!
	12:53pm still b/p: Give it the ol' rearrange, Stanley -- stale NY, sly neat, slay ten, nestlay.
	12:58pm Rick from SC: Really enjoying this set!
	🚂 12:58pm Handy Haversack: "Sly, neat Stanley" would make a good first line in a modernist classic novel! Fetch the shaving basin! Back to the workshop. Thanks, David! Be well, Voyagers! And go, Slovakia!
	12:58pm David Dichelle: Thanks Rick, glad you like it!
	12:59pm David Dichelle: And thanks Handy, take care!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: so i was going to guess armenia, but i'll let Sem have 100% of the winnings if it's that, and go with Republic of Côte d'Ivoire (ivory coast)
	1:01pm Irene: I’m listening and lurking today, David. Great music as always!
	1:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, Irene!
	1:03pm headcleaner: b/p - okay maybe "genocide" is too strong of a term; would "ethnic cleansing" work for you? The 1992 event the proclamation refers to did happen, and it's hard not to see it as other than... an act of ethnic cleansing. I agree though that the proclamation was hardly "apolitical" and that mayor should "scrutinize" these things more before signing onto them.
	1:06pm Doug Schulkind: I love being so Roudly awakened!
	1:07pm David Dichelle: Hey there Doug!
	1:08pm David Dichelle: And hello headcleaner!
	1:09pm headcleaner: abend, david!
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Einen Guten Tag zurück...
	🚂 1:11pm βrian: Just got back from the hospital where some mask-less clown wanted to join me on the elevator. I took the stairs.
	1:12pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, sounds like a good call.
	1:13pm Hubig Pie: Off for me first Covid jab. Doing me part for a return to normal one arm at a time
	🚂 1:13pm Yvang: I appreciate the train is never missing a stop in my corner of the world.
	1:15pm David Dichelle: Yvang, we come for the binioù and stay for the bombarde.
	1:15pm David Dichelle: Hubig: Good luck and take care!
	🚂 1:16pm Yvang: Don't forget the galette and cider!
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: @103 more like a wartime act of "let's get these aggressive assholes out of our country once and for all before they try to wipe us out again"
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Danke, David
	🚂 1:18pm βrian: Hey, @Handy, how did your Old Pals treat you?
	1:19pm northguineahills: Still not used to this Subway schedule (and it's been, what, 3/4s a year?
	1:20pm headcleaner: @coel∅: that wasn't how it went down but you can believe whatever you want
	1:21pm northguineahills: I scored some good Quebecois rekkids crate digging in Montreal. Small Change just went to the Ninja Tune office there and filled his trunk of the whole back catalog. (I was jealous).
	1:22pm Little Danny: Hi David hi all
	1:22pm still b/p: I included the proclamation's genocide reference as one of the obvious things that poked the beehive. The appalling massacre happened, and here is not where I, with limited knowledge of fuller history/background, would address any of the attendant issues and enduring complications or pick a side in serious perspective and accountability debates. My remark is really just on the lack of even general awareness and the apparent lack of recognition on the part of mayor, et al, that such awareness was called for.
	1:22pm David Dichelle: Greetings NGH and Little Danny!
	1:23pm headcleaner: @coel∅: agree with you there
	1:24pm headcleaner: waking up now finally, thank you very much david
	1:25pm northguineahills: Matt Warwick played this Moussa Doumbia 3 years ago (when I faved it).
	1:26pm David Dichelle: NGH: It is a good one!
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: it was a war, within the border of what was once armenia, before it was greedily and mercilessly stolen by a faction of the muslims centuries ago. lots of killing happens during wartime. it sucks but it's usually the case.
	1:32pm northguineahills: @coel: The Caucasus has more language/ethnic groups then anywhere outside of subsuharan africa. There's a reason the Caucasian Republic of 1919 only lasted 3 months (and then then the red army marched in w/ tacit approval from gemel attaturk.)
	1:37pm David Dichelle: New Guinea is also a candidate for some of the most linguistic diversity in the world with all of its isolated valleys.
	1:39pm northguineahills: @David: you're correct, there are thousands of lingual groups on the island, the Caususes only have hundreds....
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: ... to elaborate, since some folks on these comments boards misunderstand my posts repeatedly and others read into literal statements, to say i'm not condoning what the armenian forces did there... just that it's a relatively minor violation of wartime activity, compared to many many incidents - by soviets, the us, turkey (obviously) etc etc; and extremely minor compared to what the armenians were dealt by the hands of these victim's ancestors.
	1:40pm northguineahills: 1962? wow, muy picante!
	🚂 1:42pm Bas NL: And back at home.
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting ngh. not surprising, but i didn't know
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas!
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Coel/NGH: Yes, the Papua New Guinea random road is bound to be interesting, although I'm not sure what can be found in all those languages.
	1:44pm northguineahills: Well, Armenians are also discriminated in Georgia. And since the the Armenians can't hate Turkey (militarily), Azerbaijan by proxy has worked for the last 3 decades (Azerbaijan is just as guilty).
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: that whole coast, going down to at least ghana is an elaborate mix, if i understand correctly
	🚂 1:46pm Michael 98145: shimmy
	1:46pm northguineahills: Armenia cozied up to Russia as NATO offered no help, and Turkey now has Azerbaijan's back (sorry, every Wednesday night I get into a heated geopolitical debate w/ dj small change). (and we're friends)
	1:48pm Little Danny: This Ramesh track makes me think of the Shocking Blue. Love it.
	1:49pm David Dichelle: Ramesh is fantastic and I was saddened to hear of her passing recently.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: that's right, ngh. in my mind any armenian hate toward a country or people aligned with turkey is understandable. ...except russia of course! ...that's a disharmonious threesome if i ever saw one
	1:50pm northguineahills: @David (and other ears), you might like this, the Ottoman History podcast on Arab music 78s from the Wisconsin and Brooklyn ; www.ottomanhistorypodcast.com...
	1:51pm Rick from SC: Thanks for the Ramesh. This is beautiful.
	1:51pm David Dichelle: My great pleasure, Rick.
	1:52pm David Dichelle: And thanks, NGH, the podcast is indeed highly recommended.
	1:52pm still b/p: The Disharmonious Threesome was name...high school...folk trio...etc, etc.
	1:52pm Little Danny: What is the meaning of "roud" that I see referenced in the chat?
	🚂 1:54pm WR: en.wikipedia.org... here Danny
	1:54pm Stanley: Definitely digging this Ramesh
	1:55pm David Dichelle: Danny: It refers to the Roud Folksong Index, which references over 25,000 songs from English-language folk traditions. Or check out WR's link, of course.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: s b/p i think the band cream qualifies as a disharmonious threesome - though there're probably better examples
	🚂 1:55pm YETI BOB: Danny - it's a folk song index, compiled by one Steve Roud
	1:55pm Little Danny: Cool, thanks!
	1:55pm northguineahills: @WR: I didn't know there was a Roud database, thanks (i guess I'm slow)
	1:56pm still b/p: Power disharmony!
	1:56pm northguineahills: Which reminds, me, I need to see if the Lomax archives have been updated (folk music from everywhere).
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: David is polly vaughn in the roud index? (have you played it and i missed it?)
	🚂 1:56pm YETI BOB: See also, "Child Ballads" (thyey are not songs for children!)
	🚂 1:57pm Carmichael: OK, back from Skype for a few hours.
	🚂 1:58pm YETI BOB: c∅: Polly is #166, we're at #118
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: oh, Thanks Yeti. i forgot it happens in order
	🚂 2:01pm Michael 98145: @ngh, thanks for that podcast link!!
	🚂 2:01pm YETI BOB: Yeah, this one is easy to predict! Next week we'll hear about the beggar laddie ...
	2:01pm Stanley: No more bets!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: David i bet you're stoked for #25000!
	🚂 2:02pm Bas NL: Slovenia! Interesting!
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: Any Slovenian Accordion tunes?
	2:03pm Rick from SC: Let's to to Slovenia. I was lucky enough to go to a meeting in Bled. It was beautiful and the food was fanstastic.
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: Those Slovenian accordions look so . . . fancy!
	🚂 2:04pm Michael 98145: Closest i've been is E Slovakia
	2:05pm David (in London): rips up betting slip Sigh. So close Uruguay, so close. I was in Yugoslavian Slovenia about two weeks before the dissolution kicked off. The atmosphere was, ahem, 'charged'.
	2:05pm Stanley: I would love to go to Slovenia.
	2:05pm David Dichelle: Alex: I'm sure we might hear an accordion or two!
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: the closest i've been is knowing someone over 40 years ago of part yugoslavian descent!
	2:06pm Handsome Johnny: Alex, check out Transpasific Paradise's Premium this year.
	2:07pm northguineahills: Any Laibach? (they're Slovenian)....
	2:08pm northguineahills: oh, don't call Slovenians eastern european, they think of themselves as central european (and please don't use the 'B' word).
	2:09pm David Dichelle: Coel: 25000 appears to be a song called "The Sugar-plum Tree". Let's see if we ever get to climb it.
	2:09pm headcleaner: mozart, laibach... david always saves the best for last
	2:09pm David Dichelle: headcleaner=mindreader?
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: baba ganoush?
	2:09pm kuriousornj: Buldozer; they were known as Mothers Of Invention of Yugoslavia...
	2:10pm David Dichelle: Oh hello Johnny and kuriousornj!
	2:11pm headcleaner: 'B' as in 'balkan'... yes, with connotations of babaganoush and turBans that other stuff
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: David have you done the computation? will any of us still be alive at 25?!
	2:11pm northguineahills: @coel: shhh (Balkan).
	2:11pm still b/p: In the daily comics AGAIN -- in two strip on the same day today! -- I see accordion treated like the unpleasant, ever-unwelcome instrument of goof-nerd dweebs. These authors in a suspended animation bubble somewhere? C'mon, pull your head out and put it up for a little refresh in today's air wouldja!
	2:12pm David Dichelle: Coel: Impossible to know without all the effort to see if every song has available recordings etc. I assume the higher the numbers, the more obscure and the fewer the recordings in general.
	2:13pm Rick from SC: @still - curious which comics strip?
	2:14pm Alex In Illinois: I once had lunch at a Yugoslavian restaurant in Chicago. It was a good meal. I remember I had a salad made of bell peppers, onions and cheese. The people there did not look any different from any other Chicagoans. The waitress looked like she could have even been my cousin or sister
	🚂 2:16pm YETI BOB: Alex - you're making me hungry!
	🚂 2:17pm Yvang: I like the raw punk of eastern europe.
	2:18pm northguineahills: I think the only Balkan food I've had was Bulgrarian. There was Sammy's, the Romanian place on Chritie, en loisaida, but I never made it...
	2:19pm kuriousornj: @David D - Lublanski Psi ?
	2:19pm northguineahills: (Well, greek is geographically Balkan, but they get more upset then the slovenes....)
	2:19pm still b/p: Dumb ol' Garfield, and Big Nate. I commented just a month and a half ago on the same thing when I'd seen it in a couple of other strips.
	2:21pm David Dichelle: I think I hear an accordion!
	2:21pm Cmurtha: been reading so I've not kept up with comments, but Slovenia is killing it
	2:21pm still b/p: Dweeb-nerds! GET 'EM!
	2:22pm northguineahills: Can Turkey be considered a Balkan country (they have land on the peninsula)
	2:23pm Rick from SC: @still, that's funny. I remember while on business in TX, I happened upon the world accordian festival and I went and it was fantastic. I loved the band KAL, not sure which country they are from
	2:23pm David (in London): Really liking this Begnagrad.
	🚂 2:24pm chresti: Dumb accordion haters!
	🚂 2:24pm Yvang: Accordions are in! i.pinimg.com...
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: it appears the Roud index is strictly an index. no history, not even a date or era. is that true or is there another section to it? i thought i'd used it a few times, a few years ago to research song history... maybe i used the Child ballads index...
	2:26pm David (in London): Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night...
	2:26pm northguineahills: @chresti: you haven't lived until you've heard Serbian turbo-folk (accordion-heavy techno, just stay away from the racist artists).
	🚂 2:27pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	2:29pm Cmurtha: @north Academically speaking. Generally not. It makes zero sense to me since...You know...Ottoman Empire, successor states, has landed in that area, but they get cut off. I know this because people who study the Ottoman Balkans have a hard time finding work because of systemic racism, orientalism, and just geographic hard-headedness. Turkey is the middle east is the middle east; the Balkans are the Balkans. But, as you were saying, what is and is not any of these geographic spaces is basically all nonsense, and different people get angry about their inclusion or exclusion in these made-up blocs.
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: The previous track had what sounded like a chromatic accordion. But this is what a Slovenian diatonic accordion looks like: www.bing.com...
	2:33pm northguineahills: @Cmurtha: Trakya is technically on the peninsula (FuturamaTechnicallyCorrectIsTheBestCorrect.gif)
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Changing gears for a couple of more traditional tracks and then some other stuff from Slovenia...
	2:34pm still b/p: Balkan players, Gypsy Jazz players, Celtic players, Latin American players, Americana traditional or hipster players. The lazy dated mockers are a few pulls and squeezes short of a full brain-bellows.
	🚂 2:34pm Michael 98145: lotsa stuff: www.ranker.com...
	2:34pm northguineahills: wow, thanks, Alex!
	2:35pm Cmurtha: I don't disagree! But, I was not around in the centuries leading up to the demarcations and understandings of these spaces that we are now trapped with.
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Michael: Not bad for a country of just over 2 million.
	2:35pm kuriousornj: by 'other stuff' did you mean Borghesia ?!
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Alex: That is one beautiful instrument!
	2:36pm northguineahills: I think east Asia is the only cultures w/ squeezeboxes in their music (no, SE asia has versions).
	2:37pm northguineahills: errr, east asia has the only music cultures w/o versions of squeezboxes (trying to type stuff for another interview).
	2:38pm David Dichelle: kuriousornj: Another direction or two, I think...
	🚂 2:39pm Michael 98145: #BeBest
	2:40pm Sem: Oh, memories of being on tour with the Schemnge Brothers. I was their accordian tech.
	2:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:41pm David Dichelle: Hey there Larry!
	2:41pm David Dichelle: Sem: I may have seen them in Melonville.
	🚂 2:44pm Michael 98145: Rado and Ragni
	2:45pm Sem: Groupie! Ha, David.
	2:46pm David Dichelle: And now by popular request...
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: yup
	2:47pm still b/p: This, in 1984, should've been the last legally allowed sneer at the accordion. Then done, forever. www.youtube.com...
	2:48pm northguineahills: Yes, Laibach! (the German name for ljubljana, the capital)
	2:49pm northguineahills: My favorite accordionist is Pauline Oliveros.....
	🚂 2:49pm Bas NL: Hah! Laibach. Seen them on stage once. They got some scary fans..
	2:49pm Funky16Corners: I just realized what this is a cover of. A marked improvement.
	2:49pm David Dichelle: Larry, right?
	2:50pm David (in London): Ah, the magnum Opus. I'll get my coat...
	🚂 2:50pm Yvang: Wasn't the original Life is life from slovenia as well?
	2:51pm David Dichelle: Yvang, their neighbor Austria actually, which makes it even better.
	2:51pm Cmurtha: Man, the time flew today. Thank for the show David!
	2:52pm northguineahills: I'm a sucker for pipe organs....
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: whoa
	2:52pm David (in London): Thanks David for all the travelling fun.
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, David D 🏆
	🚂 2:53pm WR: thank you David! Onward.
	2:53pm northguineahills: @David: It was originally from the Austro-Hungarian empire, written for Slovenian....(when they were a part of the empire)
	🚂 2:53pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:53pm Bas NL: Thanks David! Great show! I'll revisit what i missed on my tram detour. :)
	2:53pm still b/p: Grade A show. Thanks.
	2:54pm northguineahills: You can never tell if what Laibach does is satire (Rammstein, OTOH, is obviously satire).

	12:12pm David Dichelle: Good days, Coel and Michael!

	12:13pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	🚂 12:14pm dutchtheo: Hello, David, punx and bob cats !
	12:14pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Theo!
	12:14pm coelacanth∅: you can guess many but then you wont be a winner with any
	12:14pm Sem: Armenia, please, DD, is my random route selection. Hope I can drink the water.
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: anyway i'm going with atlantis
	🚂 12:15pm YETI BOB: @Sem: City In The Sky!
	🚂 12:15pm WR: we hear you fine.
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: Sem! i was probably going to guess armenia today!
	12:16pm 1ke: Does Anguilla count as a country for these purposes? If so, that’s my guess.
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David, Voyagers! Leaping onto the car as it zooms past, but I can cling for forty minutes or so.
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: I never had any formal French education, so does "Les Chauffeurs à Pieds" mean "Foot drivers"? or "Shoe Drivers"? or something like that?
	12:17pm Sem: Must be your Armenia amnesia acting up, coel. Thanks, Yeti the B, just looked that up!
	🚂 12:17pm Handy Haversack: Ike, it does.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: i almost chose armenia a few weeks ago but there'd been a conversation about it and i didn't want it to seem that i was obsessing
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela! Glad to have made it for the Roud!
	12:20pm Sem: @Alex: from their website (English version) French-Canadian Traditional Music The four musicians of Les Chauffeurs à pieds (meaning either Drivers on Foot or The Feet Warmers) are incontestably among the best in Canada for playing reels and jigs on fiddle, harmonica, mandolin, recorder, French horn, guitar, and foot tapping, as well as signing traditional upbeat or old ballad songs. With its eight albums, including some nominations for prestigious awards, its collaboration with several well-renowned artists, enthusiastic reviews from the media, successful international tours, not to speak of its musical intelligence and twisted sense of humour in English, Les Chauffeurs à pieds confirms its status among today’s main folk bands.
	12:21pm David Dichelle: Hello 1ke, Alex, and Handy back again!
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Anguilla sure does count, Ike!
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Lot of Quebec bands with references to the foot-tapping tradition like La Bottine Souriante ("the smiling boot").
	🚂 12:24pm YETI BOB: @Sem: My head is so full of rock and pop songs, almost everything triggers some sort of association
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Hey David and Riders!
	12:25pm David Dichelle: Hey there Dr. Jazz!
	12:25pm mauri: oh yes planxty!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: And Mauri, great to see you!
	12:27pm still b/p: Bit of local controversy when our mayor agreed recently to issue a proclamation. This wasn't the language used , but it was to "acknowledge the 1992 killing of hundreds of Azeris by Armenian and Soviet forces." The actual language included the term "genocide" The headline in print coverage was about how the proclamation "opens old wounds" regarding history, disputes, violence, perceptions and terms used. The naivete of the mayor and anyone around her in not looking carefully at the regional history and realizing quickly that caution and sense should've applied in the assessing and deciding....well, it's surprising and puzzling. And disappointing.
	12:27pm mauri: this album and bothy bands first in your ears for a fueled walk in a cool autumn wind to town for a pub. spirits rising.
	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: I wonder if it influenced the Battlefield Band's "The Rovin' Dies Hard."
	12:28pm Sem: You're doing life right, mauri. Hope all good there w/ you.
	12:29pm mauri: Fair winds for you Sem! All good.
	🚂 12:32pm Brian in UK: Hello David & fellow travellers. mauri, do you notice ant effects of global warming?
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Brian!
	🚂 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Yesterday, they gave us a break at 12:45. 12:15 today. At least I got the Roud! But Kate was going to get us sandwiches as a treat when she finishes teaching her current class (poetry to seven-year-olds?). The timing is less than ideal now, but I really got my heart set on a cheese and pickle sandwich!
	12:36pm David Dichelle: Glad you could join us during your break, Handy, enjoy that sandwich!
	12:38pm Hubig Pie: Cheese and pickle sandwich- My only weakness
	12:39pm mauri: biuk, yes the winters have been getting warmer since 1995. the previous winter was really mild. this time a bit more normal. There's more oaks growing wild in our forests too.
	12:42pm Stanley: Hi David. Does the station accept cheese and pickle sandwiches?
	12:42pm mauri: Ants. I woke up on a beach on an island at Saimaa lake one summer to ants tickling me. That's all I got about ants.
	🚂 12:43pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Marathon! Mark Hurst on the Subway!
	12:45pm still b/p: If cheese and pickle sandwich is your only weakness, it's clear the number of weaknesses per individual were assigned with massive disparities and serious consequences in the kitchen and beyond.
	12:45pm Stanley: I wish I had a funny name.
	12:45pm David (in London): Damn, I missed the departure and had to get on at this stop. Hello David. Afternoon groovers in transit.
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: Stanley you'd have a funny name if your surname is Laurel. (is your surname Laurel?)
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: greetings David
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Hello Stanley and David! Actually, I could have added that the station is indeed accepting catering in Jersey City but only drop-offs this year for the reasons.
	12:47pm Sem: Is Guffaw taken yet, I wonder?
	12:47pm Hubig Pie: Okay I confess still b/p I also have a weakness for salty snacks and distilled spirits
	12:47pm David (in London): My guess for this week: Uruguay.
	12:48pm Afghanistanley: Yeah, coela but that has already been taken.
	🚂 12:49pm chresti: Cheese on sourdough toast is one of my weaknesses.
	12:49pm DJ Humorous Moniker: Stanley with the name and guess!
	12:50pm Afghanistanley: Absolutely, DJ Moniker
	🚂 12:50pm Bas NL: I'm with you DiL.. guessing Uruguay as well. And taking the tram back home! Laters..
	12:51pm David (in London): Good man Bas. We can crack those champagne corks together!
	12:53pm David Dichelle: Tram safely, Bas!
	12:53pm still b/p: Give it the ol' rearrange, Stanley -- stale NY, sly neat, slay ten, nestlay.
	12:58pm Rick from SC: Really enjoying this set!
	🚂 12:58pm Handy Haversack: "Sly, neat Stanley" would make a good first line in a modernist classic novel! Fetch the shaving basin! Back to the workshop. Thanks, David! Be well, Voyagers! And go, Slovakia!
	12:58pm David Dichelle: Thanks Rick, glad you like it!
	12:59pm David Dichelle: And thanks Handy, take care!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: so i was going to guess armenia, but i'll let Sem have 100% of the winnings if it's that, and go with Republic of Côte d'Ivoire (ivory coast)
	1:01pm Irene: I’m listening and lurking today, David. Great music as always!
	1:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, Irene!
	1:03pm headcleaner: b/p - okay maybe "genocide" is too strong of a term; would "ethnic cleansing" work for you? The 1992 event the proclamation refers to did happen, and it's hard not to see it as other than... an act of ethnic cleansing. I agree though that the proclamation was hardly "apolitical" and that mayor should "scrutinize" these things more before signing onto them.
	1:06pm Doug Schulkind: I love being so Roudly awakened!
	1:07pm David Dichelle: Hey there Doug!
	1:08pm David Dichelle: And hello headcleaner!
	1:09pm headcleaner: abend, david!
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Einen Guten Tag zurück...
	🚂 1:11pm βrian: Just got back from the hospital where some mask-less clown wanted to join me on the elevator. I took the stairs.
	1:12pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, sounds like a good call.
	1:13pm Hubig Pie: Off for me first Covid jab. Doing me part for a return to normal one arm at a time
	🚂 1:13pm Yvang: I appreciate the train is never missing a stop in my corner of the world.
	1:15pm David Dichelle: Yvang, we come for the binioù and stay for the bombarde.
	1:15pm David Dichelle: Hubig: Good luck and take care!
	🚂 1:16pm Yvang: Don't forget the galette and cider!
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: @103 more like a wartime act of "let's get these aggressive assholes out of our country once and for all before they try to wipe us out again"
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Danke, David
	🚂 1:18pm βrian: Hey, @Handy, how did your Old Pals treat you?
	1:19pm northguineahills: Still not used to this Subway schedule (and it's been, what, 3/4s a year?
	1:20pm headcleaner: @coel∅: that wasn't how it went down but you can believe whatever you want
	1:21pm northguineahills: I scored some good Quebecois rekkids crate digging in Montreal. Small Change just went to the Ninja Tune office there and filled his trunk of the whole back catalog. (I was jealous).
	1:22pm Little Danny: Hi David hi all
	1:22pm still b/p: I included the proclamation's genocide reference as one of the obvious things that poked the beehive. The appalling massacre happened, and here is not where I, with limited knowledge of fuller history/background, would address any of the attendant issues and enduring complications or pick a side in serious perspective and accountability debates. My remark is really just on the lack of even general awareness and the apparent lack of recognition on the part of mayor, et al, that such awareness was called for.
	1:22pm David Dichelle: Greetings NGH and Little Danny!
	1:23pm headcleaner: @coel∅: agree with you there
	1:24pm headcleaner: waking up now finally, thank you very much david
	1:25pm northguineahills: Matt Warwick played this Moussa Doumbia 3 years ago (when I faved it).
	1:26pm David Dichelle: NGH: It is a good one!
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: it was a war, within the border of what was once armenia, before it was greedily and mercilessly stolen by a faction of the muslims centuries ago. lots of killing happens during wartime. it sucks but it's usually the case.
	1:32pm northguineahills: @coel: The Caucasus has more language/ethnic groups then anywhere outside of subsuharan africa. There's a reason the Caucasian Republic of 1919 only lasted 3 months (and then then the red army marched in w/ tacit approval from gemel attaturk.)
	1:37pm David Dichelle: New Guinea is also a candidate for some of the most linguistic diversity in the world with all of its isolated valleys.
	1:39pm northguineahills: @David: you're correct, there are thousands of lingual groups on the island, the Caususes only have hundreds....
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: ... to elaborate, since some folks on these comments boards misunderstand my posts repeatedly and others read into literal statements, to say i'm not condoning what the armenian forces did there... just that it's a relatively minor violation of wartime activity, compared to many many incidents - by soviets, the us, turkey (obviously) etc etc; and extremely minor compared to what the armenians were dealt by the hands of these victim's ancestors.
	1:40pm northguineahills: 1962? wow, muy picante!
	🚂 1:42pm Bas NL: And back at home.
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting ngh. not surprising, but i didn't know
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Bas!
	1:43pm David Dichelle: Coel/NGH: Yes, the Papua New Guinea random road is bound to be interesting, although I'm not sure what can be found in all those languages.
	1:44pm northguineahills: Well, Armenians are also discriminated in Georgia. And since the the Armenians can't hate Turkey (militarily), Azerbaijan by proxy has worked for the last 3 decades (Azerbaijan is just as guilty).
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: that whole coast, going down to at least ghana is an elaborate mix, if i understand correctly
	🚂 1:46pm Michael 98145: shimmy
	1:46pm northguineahills: Armenia cozied up to Russia as NATO offered no help, and Turkey now has Azerbaijan's back (sorry, every Wednesday night I get into a heated geopolitical debate w/ dj small change). (and we're friends)
	1:48pm Little Danny: This Ramesh track makes me think of the Shocking Blue. Love it.
	1:49pm David Dichelle: Ramesh is fantastic and I was saddened to hear of her passing recently.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: that's right, ngh. in my mind any armenian hate toward a country or people aligned with turkey is understandable. ...except russia of course! ...that's a disharmonious threesome if i ever saw one
	1:50pm northguineahills: @David (and other ears), you might like this, the Ottoman History podcast on Arab music 78s from the Wisconsin and Brooklyn ; www.ottomanhistorypodcast.com...
	1:51pm Rick from SC: Thanks for the Ramesh. This is beautiful.
	1:51pm David Dichelle: My great pleasure, Rick.
	1:52pm David Dichelle: And thanks, NGH, the podcast is indeed highly recommended.
	1:52pm still b/p: The Disharmonious Threesome was name...high school...folk trio...etc, etc.
	1:52pm Little Danny: What is the meaning of "roud" that I see referenced in the chat?
	🚂 1:54pm WR: en.wikipedia.org... here Danny
	1:54pm Stanley: Definitely digging this Ramesh
	1:55pm David Dichelle: Danny: It refers to the Roud Folksong Index, which references over 25,000 songs from English-language folk traditions. Or check out WR's link, of course.
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: s b/p i think the band cream qualifies as a disharmonious threesome - though there're probably better examples
	🚂 1:55pm YETI BOB: Danny - it's a folk song index, compiled by one Steve Roud
	1:55pm Little Danny: Cool, thanks!
	1:55pm northguineahills: @WR: I didn't know there was a Roud database, thanks (i guess I'm slow)
	1:56pm still b/p: Power disharmony!
	1:56pm northguineahills: Which reminds, me, I need to see if the Lomax archives have been updated (folk music from everywhere).
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: David is polly vaughn in the roud index? (have you played it and i missed it?)
	🚂 1:56pm YETI BOB: See also, "Child Ballads" (thyey are not songs for children!)
	🚂 1:57pm Carmichael: OK, back from Skype for a few hours.
	🚂 1:58pm YETI BOB: c∅: Polly is #166, we're at #118
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: oh, Thanks Yeti. i forgot it happens in order
	🚂 2:01pm Michael 98145: @ngh, thanks for that podcast link!!
	🚂 2:01pm YETI BOB: Yeah, this one is easy to predict! Next week we'll hear about the beggar laddie ...
	2:01pm Stanley: No more bets!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: David i bet you're stoked for #25000!
	🚂 2:02pm Bas NL: Slovenia! Interesting!
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: Any Slovenian Accordion tunes?
	2:03pm Rick from SC: Let's to to Slovenia. I was lucky enough to go to a meeting in Bled. It was beautiful and the food was fanstastic.
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: Those Slovenian accordions look so . . . fancy!
	🚂 2:04pm Michael 98145: Closest i've been is E Slovakia
	2:05pm David (in London): rips up betting slip Sigh. So close Uruguay, so close. I was in Yugoslavian Slovenia about two weeks before the dissolution kicked off. The atmosphere was, ahem, 'charged'.
	2:05pm Stanley: I would love to go to Slovenia.
	2:05pm David Dichelle: Alex: I'm sure we might hear an accordion or two!
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: the closest i've been is knowing someone over 40 years ago of part yugoslavian descent!
	2:06pm Handsome Johnny: Alex, check out Transpasific Paradise's Premium this year.
	2:07pm northguineahills: Any Laibach? (they're Slovenian)....
	2:08pm northguineahills: oh, don't call Slovenians eastern european, they think of themselves as central european (and please don't use the 'B' word).
	2:09pm David Dichelle: Coel: 25000 appears to be a song called "The Sugar-plum Tree". Let's see if we ever get to climb it.
	2:09pm headcleaner: mozart, laibach... david always saves the best for last
	2:09pm David Dichelle: headcleaner=mindreader?
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: baba ganoush?
	2:09pm kuriousornj: Buldozer; they were known as Mothers Of Invention of Yugoslavia...
	2:10pm David Dichelle: Oh hello Johnny and kuriousornj!
	2:11pm headcleaner: 'B' as in 'balkan'... yes, with connotations of babaganoush and turBans that other stuff
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: David have you done the computation? will any of us still be alive at 25?!
	2:11pm northguineahills: @coel: shhh (Balkan).
	2:11pm still b/p: In the daily comics AGAIN -- in two strip on the same day today! -- I see accordion treated like the unpleasant, ever-unwelcome instrument of goof-nerd dweebs. These authors in a suspended animation bubble somewhere? C'mon, pull your head out and put it up for a little refresh in today's air wouldja!
	2:12pm David Dichelle: Coel: Impossible to know without all the effort to see if every song has available recordings etc. I assume the higher the numbers, the more obscure and the fewer the recordings in general.
	2:13pm Rick from SC: @still - curious which comics strip?
	2:14pm Alex In Illinois: I once had lunch at a Yugoslavian restaurant in Chicago. It was a good meal. I remember I had a salad made of bell peppers, onions and cheese. The people there did not look any different from any other Chicagoans. The waitress looked like she could have even been my cousin or sister
	🚂 2:16pm YETI BOB: Alex - you're making me hungry!
	🚂 2:17pm Yvang: I like the raw punk of eastern europe.
	2:18pm northguineahills: I think the only Balkan food I've had was Bulgrarian. There was Sammy's, the Romanian place on Chritie, en loisaida, but I never made it...
	2:19pm kuriousornj: @David D - Lublanski Psi ?
	2:19pm northguineahills: (Well, greek is geographically Balkan, but they get more upset then the slovenes....)
	2:19pm still b/p: Dumb ol' Garfield, and Big Nate. I commented just a month and a half ago on the same thing when I'd seen it in a couple of other strips.
	2:21pm David Dichelle: I think I hear an accordion!
	2:21pm Cmurtha: been reading so I've not kept up with comments, but Slovenia is killing it
	2:21pm still b/p: Dweeb-nerds! GET 'EM!
	2:22pm northguineahills: Can Turkey be considered a Balkan country (they have land on the peninsula)
	2:23pm Rick from SC: @still, that's funny. I remember while on business in TX, I happened upon the world accordian festival and I went and it was fantastic. I loved the band KAL, not sure which country they are from
	2:23pm David (in London): Really liking this Begnagrad.
	🚂 2:24pm chresti: Dumb accordion haters!
	🚂 2:24pm Yvang: Accordions are in! i.pinimg.com...
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: it appears the Roud index is strictly an index. no history, not even a date or era. is that true or is there another section to it? i thought i'd used it a few times, a few years ago to research song history... maybe i used the Child ballads index...
	2:26pm David (in London): Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night...
	2:26pm northguineahills: @chresti: you haven't lived until you've heard Serbian turbo-folk (accordion-heavy techno, just stay away from the racist artists).
	🚂 2:27pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	2:29pm Cmurtha: @north Academically speaking. Generally not. It makes zero sense to me since...You know...Ottoman Empire, successor states, has landed in that area, but they get cut off. I know this because people who study the Ottoman Balkans have a hard time finding work because of systemic racism, orientalism, and just geographic hard-headedness. Turkey is the middle east is the middle east; the Balkans are the Balkans. But, as you were saying, what is and is not any of these geographic spaces is basically all nonsense, and different people get angry about their inclusion or exclusion in these made-up blocs.
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: The previous track had what sounded like a chromatic accordion. But this is what a Slovenian diatonic accordion looks like: www.bing.com...
	2:33pm northguineahills: @Cmurtha: Trakya is technically on the peninsula (FuturamaTechnicallyCorrectIsTheBestCorrect.gif)
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Changing gears for a couple of more traditional tracks and then some other stuff from Slovenia...
	2:34pm still b/p: Balkan players, Gypsy Jazz players, Celtic players, Latin American players, Americana traditional or hipster players. The lazy dated mockers are a few pulls and squeezes short of a full brain-bellows.
	🚂 2:34pm Michael 98145: lotsa stuff: www.ranker.com...
	2:34pm northguineahills: wow, thanks, Alex!
	2:35pm Cmurtha: I don't disagree! But, I was not around in the centuries leading up to the demarcations and understandings of these spaces that we are now trapped with.
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Michael: Not bad for a country of just over 2 million.
	2:35pm kuriousornj: by 'other stuff' did you mean Borghesia ?!
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Alex: That is one beautiful instrument!
	2:36pm northguineahills: I think east Asia is the only cultures w/ squeezeboxes in their music (no, SE asia has versions).
	2:37pm northguineahills: errr, east asia has the only music cultures w/o versions of squeezboxes (trying to type stuff for another interview).
	2:38pm David Dichelle: kuriousornj: Another direction or two, I think...
	🚂 2:39pm Michael 98145: #BeBest
	2:40pm Sem: Oh, memories of being on tour with the Schemnge Brothers. I was their accordian tech.
	2:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:41pm David Dichelle: Hey there Larry!
	2:41pm David Dichelle: Sem: I may have seen them in Melonville.
	🚂 2:44pm Michael 98145: Rado and Ragni
	2:45pm Sem: Groupie! Ha, David.
	2:46pm David Dichelle: And now by popular request...
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: yup
	2:47pm still b/p: This, in 1984, should've been the last legally allowed sneer at the accordion. Then done, forever. www.youtube.com...
	2:48pm northguineahills: Yes, Laibach! (the German name for ljubljana, the capital)
	2:49pm northguineahills: My favorite accordionist is Pauline Oliveros.....
	🚂 2:49pm Bas NL: Hah! Laibach. Seen them on stage once. They got some scary fans..
	2:49pm Funky16Corners: I just realized what this is a cover of. A marked improvement.
	2:49pm David Dichelle: Larry, right?
	2:50pm David (in London): Ah, the magnum Opus. I'll get my coat...
	🚂 2:50pm Yvang: Wasn't the original Life is life from slovenia as well?
	2:51pm David Dichelle: Yvang, their neighbor Austria actually, which makes it even better.
	2:51pm Cmurtha: Man, the time flew today. Thank for the show David!
	2:52pm northguineahills: I'm a sucker for pipe organs....
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: whoa
	2:52pm David (in London): Thanks David for all the travelling fun.
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, David D 🏆
	🚂 2:53pm WR: thank you David! Onward.
	2:53pm northguineahills: @David: It was originally from the Austro-Hungarian empire, written for Slovenian....(when they were a part of the empire)
	🚂 2:53pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:53pm Bas NL: Thanks David! Great show! I'll revisit what i missed on my tram detour. :)
	2:53pm still b/p: Grade A show. Thanks.
	2:54pm northguineahills: You can never tell if what Laibach does is satire (Rammstein, OTOH, is obviously satire).
	🚂 2:55pm Michael 98145: ... actually, i guess the closest i've been to Slovenia was Venice ...
	2:55pm headcleaner: yeah, I can't figure out laibach either
	🚂 2:55pm Brian in UK: Good work, David. See you on the Marathon train.
	🚂 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks David! Looking forward to the next trip!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David!
	2:57pm Stanley: Wonderful stuff, again. Thanks David Shlater everyone.
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Next Year In New Jersey!!!
	🚂 2:58pm Michael 98145: Calling an album "Opus Dei" is concerning enough
	2:58pm northguineahills: mad danks, david!
	🚂 2:59pm Bas NL: Mark Hurst! Nice!
	2:59pm headcleaner: danke sehr david
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!
	2:59pm Sem: Thank you, David. See you and all next time-- in the roundhouse!
	2:59pm still b/p: Pig Latin for Dopus.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David!
	🚂 5:43pm Handy Haversack: Slovenia! So alphabetically close! Ah, well. There's always next week!
