	3:26pm matthew glass: Hi Sheila! Digging Sola. New to me, but it's sweet. Happy to be along for the ride today!
	♥ 3:26pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: the heat dome has moved to the prairies, but the hottest place in canada during the heat wave was lytton, bc (it broke its own record three times during) which has now been 98% destroyed by a wildfire ... please spare a thought for the missing and displaced, many of whom, if not most, are indigenous
	♥ 3:26pm DjLorraine: Jett you stay safe also, ok? I see L'Rain got some other plays
	3:27pm Robm: @Vanessa been listening to the CBC and i feel your pain

	♥ 3:28pm djsheilab: Thanks for checking in, michael z!
	♥ 3:28pm Vanessa Tara: i'm in vancouver, on the coast who got hot but not as hot as the interior ... some particulate from the dozens of wildfires across the province is making its way out here to the coast
	♥ 3:29pm djsheilab: NikiA—Love back atcha! Do read the whole Ted Gioia piece. It's exceptional!
	♥ 3:29pm Vanessa Tara: for now it's being countered by marine air
	♥ 3:30pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—The news of wildfires and suffering is just terrible. And there doesn't seem to be an end in sight :(
	3:30pm Robm: @Vannessa hope you don’t have to leave on short notice
	3:30pm JR: @Geoffrey: You can do both ;) Sheila is a good soundtrack for soccer ...
	♥ 3:30pm Gurldoggie: My love for all things Alice runs deep.
	♥ 3:31pm Vanessa Tara: in other news (more personal): the last of my grandparents, my paternal grandfather, italian-canadian, who arrived in montreal as a 2 yr-old in the 1920s with his family, passed away over night ... he would have been 99 this august
	♥ 3:31pm djsheilab: Thank you JR! Enjoy the soccer, Geoffrey in Ottawa!
	3:32pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @JR Often I listen to Sheila while I watch the Cubs, but I've been loving the English commentary. Italy just scored!
	♥ 3:34pm DjLorraine: Vanessa Tara thanks for remembering the suffering. Also there is the Champlain Tower in Surfside Miami day 8. So much loss
	3:36pm Colin in Durham, England: I’m here.
	3:36pm Daybreak: & The Heat Pause: Who doesn’t like spandex and long hair! Lots of people but who cares?
	♥ 3:37pm fred: Over here crop tops are banned is schools though boys can show up topless. Cause they need to breathe without getting distracted. Girls who bare skin are dangerous sluts, but those who cover up are dangerous terrorists. TL;DR girls are dangerous, should be controlled
	3:37pm Derbs: Love the J-pop
	3:38pm cal: Hey Sheila, I'm here. Glad to hear your voice today!!!
	3:40pm Daybreak: & The Heat Pause: Empathy is a good thing! Never apologize for that!
	♥ 3:41pm DjLorraine: Hyperdose ...d^_^b....awesome!!!
	3:41pm Robm: @Daybreak never will apologize for that
	3:43pm Jett: I always loved Lydia Lunch, from the beginning. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks were great. "Queen Of Siam" spent a lot of time on my turntable.
	3:43pm sydsyd: omg! Someone showed me this show a week ago, have loved it. I am so excited to listen live for the first time
	3:44pm michael z: Lydia rules. Thank you Sheila for playing her.
	3:44pm chaos_in_la_la: After a show at the park church in Greenpoint, i didn’t know what to say to Lydia, so I asked her if she’d pinch me in the face. .5 seconds later she’d hit me twice and bloodied my lip! Of course we hugged it out immediately.
	♥ 3:44pm The Oscar: Afternoon! In two hours I'll be at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge for their reopening night screening of Casablanca, and I cannot express how excited I am. (Also seconded on the Lydia doc!)
	3:45pm chaos_in_la_la: That’s be punch lol
	3:46pm Rick G: Got to see Lydia Lunch at a club called the Weathered Wall in Seattle in the mid 90’s. She gave a great reading.
	3:47pm sydsyd: Are there a group of regulars that usually chat here during the show or is it somewhat random?
	♥ 3:47pm djsheilab: Hahaha! That is a brilliant story. Thanks for sharing, chaos_in_la_la!
	3:47pm headcleaner: kicking myself for not buying a ticket to the retrovirus show tonite @ TV Eye
	♥ 3:48pm djsheilab: sydsyd—There's a lovely group of regulars + also newcomers each week.

	3:55pm ShelbyG: WFMU shall be my vacation spot this holiday weekend.
	♥ 3:55pm djsheilab: ShelbyG—Excellent! Thanks for the love :)
	♥ 3:55pm HesperusWrecked: Lydia Lunch, Kristin Hersh--two American originals for the Fourth of July weekend. Fantastic!
	3:56pm Cooh John: Welcome, sydsyd. Your last name isn't Barret, by chance?
	♥ 3:57pm loveless: @Vanessa Tara I am very sorry for your loss of your grandfather. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
	3:57pm Cooh John: This takes me back to our dancing days, DjLorraine.
	♥ 3:58pm dreamyandseedy: Hot Lunch Jam was fun!!
	♥ 3:59pm Jason from Houston: Came here to say the same, dreamyandseedy! So fine!

	4:06pm Joey Vento: Shelby..your in good company here!! Best, Joey!
	4:07pm Jocelyn: Rewatching Flashdance as an adult made me left me with more questions
	4:07pm Jocelyn: Shelby, wishing you the best with the process!
	4:08pm cal: Funny! I saw Fame two weeks ago. It was fun. Brought me back to another time. These days are so weird! like to escape to other times!
	4:09pm LemonPie: djsheilab Flashdance is weirder than I realized as a kid, but it’s still kind of awesome. Footloose is still amazing. I will watch that movie anytime, anywhere!
	4:09pm Susan: Pronounced Joy-ah … A friends last name 🥰
	♥ 4:10pm Jay S: Hi, DJ Sheila B and everybody!
	♥ 4:10pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yes, joy-ah. Great writer. He hired me a long time ago to write for (the now defunct) jazz.com.
	4:11pm Daybreak: & The Heat Pause: I’ll have to FEEL it as it eases me through the isles of Aldi
	♥ 4:11pm DjLorraine: ShelbyG i hope the immigration business "gets sorted.“ best of luck
	♥ 4:11pm Gurldoggie: Ted Gioia is quite an interesting music writer, I’ll have to check out his substack. YOU should check out his very thoughtful and provocative 2018 book “Music: A Subversive History.” Very eye opening.
	♥ 4:12pm Jay S: @Gurldoggie - I'm in the midst of reading that book. It's marvelous!
	♥ 4:13pm djsheilab: I just love that I mention Ted Gioia here, and discover that you—Gurldoggie + Jay S—have read him, and that you—WoodsOfNH (now Maine)—worked for him! Oh how I love the WFMU community.
	♥ 4:13pm djsheilab: Hey matthew glass!
	4:14pm ShelbyG: I’m not joking. A moose just ran through my yard. A. Moose.
	4:14pm ?: Wow Sheila! So lovely, wonderful quiche making music on this rainy Western MA day
	♥ 4:14pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good, Djsheilab!! Warm greetings from Maspeth, Queens! GListening on 91.1fm in the truck
	♥ 4:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @djsheilab Two other substack recommendations: Patti Smith and (for daily current events) Heather Cox Richardson.
	4:15pm Joey Vento: Lovin this!!
	♥ 4:15pm djsheilab: Joey Vento—Yay!
	♥ 4:15pm djsheilab: Thanks WoodsOfNH (now Maine)!
	♥ 4:16pm djsheilab: Hey PaulRobeson1920!
	♥ 4:17pm DjLorraine: 🦌 Anyone else have moose siting on their WFMU bingo card?

	4:18pm ShelbyG: My dog is losing it!
	4:19pm Minnesota Jim: My partner loved your shout-out to Kristen Hersh and added, “I hope she mentions her new book.” So, if you didn’t know about the new book, now ya know. :-)
	4:19pm Minnesota Jim: I love this single of the week!
	♥ 4:20pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Unrelated to any of this: I saw a video today of Questlove doing an all-Steve Wonder DJ set and in the middle of it he gets a phone call from Steve Wonder! Questlove _freaked out_! Kinda cool.
	4:21pm Daybreak: & The Heat Pause: Keeping me haunting mellow in Aldi.
	♥ 4:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Several thumbs up for the Emma Houton
	♥ 4:22pm djsheilab: Minnesota Jim—I didn't know about a new Kristen Hersh book. Thanks for letting me know!
	♥ 4:26pm Vanessa Tara: benny golson did a lot of TV scoring (MASH, Room 222, etc)
	4:26pm michael z: I really liked the Niki & the Dove song and then what a flawless segue from 2016 to 1959.
	4:26pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Sheila Not sure I can agree with this, especially in light of the disturbing Trevor Bauer stories this week: "Hahaha! That is a brilliant story. Thanks for sharing, chaos_in_la_la!"
	4:27pm Joey Vento: Mom and Dad saw Curtis Fuller at the Stork Club that year!!
	♥ 4:27pm HyperDose: This is class
	♥ 4:29pm djsheilab: Thanks michael z!
	♥ 4:30pm djsheilab: Geoffrey in Ottawa—Her violent ways are discussed in the film, which I highly recommend. And we don't have to agree :)
	4:30pm matthew glass: Beautiful jazz pick Sheila! Love the song and the performance!
	♥ 4:31pm djsheilab: Thanks matthew glass! This has been on repeat at home. SUCH atmosphere.
	4:31pm WM: Curtis Fuller is a great choice as your occasional man. He played on some of John Coltrane's best records. Glad to hear you've got a taste for Jazz, along with everyting else.
	4:32pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Sheila Fair enough. I haven't seen the film and am unaware of her violent ways. And I am glad we don't have to agree. I was wary of posting and am glad it wasn't taken the wrong way. :)
	♥ 4:33pm djsheilab: Geoffrey in Ottawa—It's so important to me that everyone shares freely and we can listen to and hear each other. So thank you for sharing something you disagreed with me on.
	4:37pm BenZ WPB: Man, that Joan as Police Woman tune was unreal. Sops you right in your tracks
	4:37pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Sheila We are at a strange place when we question ourselves for disagreeing with someone, or for disagreeing with someone we like, perhaps. I will take the time to listen to your show this weekend, so I can better understand the context.
	4:39pm Joey Vento: I always learn so much from "disagreeing" with others..it's part of what makes us understand each other...fully!!
	♥ 4:41pm Devin B.: That honest broker piece was amazing!
	4:41pm Jett: ty for playing Joan Wasser!!! Love her music! @DjSheilaB I think you have a lot to do with it also.
	4:41pm BH: the J being pronounced like a J instead of an H reminds me of doing doorknocking for a campaign a few years ago and getting someone with the last name "Cano" who went with "Can-o" instead of "Cah-no"
	4:43pm Mika: what’s your gig outside the show?
	4:44pm Miss G: waves to all Am in the midst of kerfuffle so can't listen today, thus so looking forwards to archive, but checked in and Vanessa Tara I've always gotten a lot out of your comments, so I send my heartfelt condolences for your loss. What is happening in Canada has so many repercussions (that we down here well know.) Today is the birthday of an elder in my family who passed last year (two days before lockdown) and so I can empathize. Thank you Sheila B for "The Honest Broker!!!"
	4:44pm Late Bloomer: Yr talkin my language 😎
	♥ 4:45pm Vanessa Tara: i've read some of ted gioia's jazz books
	♥ 4:45pm HyperDose: Very insightful & relatable Sheila, thank you.
	4:45pm Late Bloomer: Thanks for doing what you and everyone at fmu does. Makes me feel good when I tune in
	♥ 4:46pm PaulRobeson1920: What helps me overcome feelings of humiliation or fear in a face to face social situation is I tell myself the other person/people feels somthing similar. That helps me feel OK!
	4:46pm Miss G: Love Lovers !!! Play this BLASTING from car windows ever since you played it the first time Sheila B!
	4:47pm AndreaK: Thank you Sheila that was what I wanted to hear this eve. I’m working now and had that thought of ‘who are my people’ today and glad I connected to what you said. Thank you from Liverpool, UK!
	♥ 4:47pm PaulRobeson1920: WFMU makes me feel good every time, too! Haha <3
	♥ 4:49pm djsheilab: Thank you for your lovely comments, AndreaK, Late Bloomer, HyperDose, Miss G, + PaulRobeson1920!
	4:50pm Jett: @DjSheilaB You need to be true to yourself, and your taste. Whatever I like, I like. What I dislike, I dislike. I'm not just going to like something because someone is telling me it is great. If it is someone who has a taste that respect and admire like for example, you. I will give something a bit more of a chance, but if I don't like it, bottom line is, I don't like it. Always be true to yourself Sheila, and please don't change. That is one of the qualities that I love so much about you. Most of all, I love your unbridled passion for what you like.
	♥ 4:50pm djsheilab: Here's the Ted Gioia piece, which YOU ALL MUST READ!!!! tedgioia.substack.com...
	♥ 4:50pm Vanessa Tara: Miss G: thank you ... i consider 98 (almost 99) yrs to be a great achievement in longevity ... i think my grandfather was happy for just about all of it
	4:50pm NikiA: hi @hyperdose :)
	4:50pm Miss G: Not to mention, that the Sophisticated Boom Boom tshirt I received this week is GORGEOUS, and I was a bit worried about the graphic of the hand placement, but it works for me perfectly and I can't wait to wear it! It is really beautiful and golden!
	♥ 4:51pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. 98 years is most certainly an achievement. Sending my love + condolences.
	4:51pm WM: I love everything you just said, Shelia. We have polar opposite tastes in music. I never listened to girl pop and conversely I'm a great jazz fan. I was seduced by your presentation and personality. I'm a better man for listening to your show and learning to appreciate girl pop.
	♥ 4:52pm Vanessa Tara: my father remembers his father listening to a brenda lee or connie francis record and bawling his eyes out ... i do the same with soul music, doo wop, some gospel
	♥ 4:53pm djsheilab: I so much appreciate your comment, WM. Thank you!
	♥ 4:54pm Vanessa Tara: there are certain songs: brenda and the tabs doing "that's the price you have to pay" or the moments doing "love on a two way street" or the chantels doing "look in my eyes" which make me crumble
	♥ 4:54pm Vanessa Tara: Sheila: thank you!
	♥ 4:56pm HyperDose: NikiA! We haven't crossed paths in a hot freeform minute, hope all is well. =]
	4:57pm Miss G: Vanessa Tara, music so connects us. . .two weeks ago we all gathered at the cemetery for the first time. I played on my phone my parents' favorite song, "Always" Irving Berlin -- the slow Frank Sinatra version. When this person was in a coma, we played alot this Yo Yo Ma piece he loved, Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prélude, and it really seemed to help him. He played cello in the local amateur orchestra, he learned it after age 50.
	♥ 4:57pm Gurldoggie: This song is blowing my mind.
	4:58pm sydsyd: This is awesome I am painting and very much in the zone
	4:58pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday, Sheila B.!!!
	4:59pm Anton: This lost girls track is bringing tears! Thank you for sharing!
	5:00pm Joey Vento: Vanessa..sorry about grand-dad!! What a life he must have lived!!!
	♥ 5:04pm djsheilab: The LOVE for "Love, Lovers" is STRONG! Thank you, Gurldoggie, sydsyd, Andrea Egert, + Anton!
	5:06pm Anton: Jenny Hval (of Lost Girls) has a novel I’ve been meaning to check out… has anyone here read it?
	♥ 5:07pm djsheilab: Anton—I wasn't aware she wrote novels!
	5:07pm morphe': Sophisticated Mother Nature is working some BoomBoom in NYC...no H2O as of yet....
	5:08pm Monica: yo, mizz b! lovely sounds abound this not uncloudy day:)
	5:09pm Anton: Sheila yes! One called Paradise Rot that came out with verso in 2018, the only one in English!
	5:09pm chaos_in_la_la: It has been a lovely set, lots of hearts
	5:10pm Dave In Leicester: Paradise Rot by a Jenny Hval is a powerful read
	5:10pm Jett: Nice Torme cover, always liked this one!

	5:13pm Anton: Thanks Dave! I’ll have to pick it up. I love her music!
	5:15pm Miss G: Can't wait to see that No Wave show at the Museum of the City of New York! Enjoy it, tickets winner!
	♥ 5:15pm Frank Zaatar: I just saw that exhibit last week (on our first trip to NYC in 15 months)! Bring your favorite earphones and be prepared to spend loads of time watching some outrageous video.
	5:15pm Jett: I was very involved in the music biz during that period. Exhibit should be very cool!
	♥ 5:17pm Frank Zaatar: @Jett, don't be surprised if you see yourself in a crowd (or a band?).
	5:19pm Zephyr: Abagail interview!! My father was the Jo Mama drummer. Joel “Bishop” O’Brien. Rest In Peace. Please tell her I’m a listener all the time and I’ll certainly be listening to the interview.
	♥ 5:20pm JohnEBGood: Knock Knock! Who's there? Joe. Joe who? oh well. Happy 4th all 🍔🍻🌭
	♥ 5:21pm nathan: hell yeeeaaah
	5:21pm Joey Vento: Nina!!!
	♥ 5:21pm djsheilab: Zephyr—Oh wow! I'm texting her right now. So glad you'll be listening :)
	5:23pm Cooh John: Nina. Sigh!
	5:23pm Zephyr: Yes. Please tell her. I’m in touch with some of Joel’s people from the way back. Sadly many are no longer here.
	5:25pm NikiA: all is great @hyperdose - spending lots of time at the beach, and just moved to a new apartment :)

	♥ 5:32pm Jim the Poet: I'm in dire need of sophistication this holiday weekend
	5:34pm sydsyd: Ok this slaps
	♥ 5:35pm djsheilab: Bringing it for ya, Jim the Poet!
	♥ 5:36pm Rick from SC: This is very soothing
	♥ 5:37pm Jay S: Sheila, thanks for the link to the Honest Broker essay. That was a great read.
	5:38pm michael z: So cool. I’ve never heard of Rexy.
	♥ 5:38pm djsheilab: Jay S—Oh you're most welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Please spread far and wide as I think it could be helpful to others.
	♥ 5:40pm djsheilab: michael z—They made one record and then disappeared, and just released their second album last year!
	5:40pm Matt: Shiela B knows the time. That’s fo’ sho.
	5:43pm michael z: The Criterion Channel showed all of the Von Sternberg Dietrich films and they were just glorious pandemic escapism.
	5:44pm Ernst Soup: Absolutely splendid, Sheila B!
	5:46pm yippie: i know it from blazing saddles

	3:44pm chaos_in_la_la: After a show at the park church in Greenpoint, i didn’t know what to say to Lydia, so I asked her if she’d pinch me in the face. .5 seconds later she’d hit me twice and bloodied my lip! Of course we hugged it out immediately.
	♥ 3:44pm The Oscar: Afternoon! In two hours I'll be at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge for their reopening night screening of Casablanca, and I cannot express how excited I am. (Also seconded on the Lydia doc!)
	3:45pm chaos_in_la_la: That’s be punch lol
	3:46pm Rick G: Got to see Lydia Lunch at a club called the Weathered Wall in Seattle in the mid 90’s. She gave a great reading.

	4:32pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Sheila Fair enough. I haven't seen the film and am unaware of her violent ways. And I am glad we don't have to agree. I was wary of posting and am glad it wasn't taken the wrong way. :)
	♥ 4:33pm djsheilab: Geoffrey in Ottawa—It's so important to me that everyone shares freely and we can listen to and hear each other. So thank you for sharing something you disagreed with me on.
	4:37pm BenZ WPB: Man, that Joan as Police Woman tune was unreal. Sops you right in your tracks
	4:37pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: @Sheila We are at a strange place when we question ourselves for disagreeing with someone, or for disagreeing with someone we like, perhaps. I will take the time to listen to your show this weekend, so I can better understand the context.
	4:39pm Joey Vento: I always learn so much from "disagreeing" with others..it's part of what makes us understand each other...fully!!
	♥ 4:41pm Devin B.: That honest broker piece was amazing!
	4:41pm Jett: ty for playing Joan Wasser!!! Love her music! @DjSheilaB I think you have a lot to do with it also.
	4:41pm BH: the J being pronounced like a J instead of an H reminds me of doing doorknocking for a campaign a few years ago and getting someone with the last name "Cano" who went with "Can-o" instead of "Cah-no"
	4:43pm Mika: what’s your gig outside the show?
	4:44pm Miss G: waves to all Am in the midst of kerfuffle so can't listen today, thus so looking forwards to archive, but checked in and Vanessa Tara I've always gotten a lot out of your comments, so I send my heartfelt condolences for your loss. What is happening in Canada has so many repercussions (that we down here well know.) Today is the birthday of an elder in my family who passed last year (two days before lockdown) and so I can empathize. Thank you Sheila B for "The Honest Broker!!!"
	4:44pm Late Bloomer: Yr talkin my language 😎
	♥ 4:45pm Vanessa Tara: i've read some of ted gioia's jazz books
	♥ 4:45pm HyperDose: Very insightful & relatable Sheila, thank you.
	4:45pm Late Bloomer: Thanks for doing what you and everyone at fmu does. Makes me feel good when I tune in
	♥ 4:46pm PaulRobeson1920: What helps me overcome feelings of humiliation or fear in a face to face social situation is I tell myself the other person/people feels somthing similar. That helps me feel OK!
	4:46pm Miss G: Love Lovers !!! Play this BLASTING from car windows ever since you played it the first time Sheila B!
	4:47pm AndreaK: Thank you Sheila that was what I wanted to hear this eve. I’m working now and had that thought of ‘who are my people’ today and glad I connected to what you said. Thank you from Liverpool, UK!
	♥ 4:47pm PaulRobeson1920: WFMU makes me feel good every time, too! Haha <3
	♥ 4:49pm djsheilab: Thank you for your lovely comments, AndreaK, Late Bloomer, HyperDose, Miss G, + PaulRobeson1920!
	4:50pm Jett: @DjSheilaB You need to be true to yourself, and your taste. Whatever I like, I like. What I dislike, I dislike. I'm not just going to like something because someone is telling me it is great. If it is someone who has a taste that respect and admire like for example, you. I will give something a bit more of a chance, but if I don't like it, bottom line is, I don't like it. Always be true to yourself Sheila, and please don't change. That is one of the qualities that I love so much about you. Most of all, I love your unbridled passion for what you like.
	♥ 4:50pm djsheilab: Here's the Ted Gioia piece, which YOU ALL MUST READ!!!! tedgioia.substack.com...
	♥ 4:50pm Vanessa Tara: Miss G: thank you ... i consider 98 (almost 99) yrs to be a great achievement in longevity ... i think my grandfather was happy for just about all of it
	4:50pm NikiA: hi @hyperdose :)
	4:50pm Miss G: Not to mention, that the Sophisticated Boom Boom tshirt I received this week is GORGEOUS, and I was a bit worried about the graphic of the hand placement, but it works for me perfectly and I can't wait to wear it! It is really beautiful and golden!
	♥ 4:51pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. 98 years is most certainly an achievement. Sending my love + condolences.
	4:51pm WM: I love everything you just said, Shelia. We have polar opposite tastes in music. I never listened to girl pop and conversely I'm a great jazz fan. I was seduced by your presentation and personality. I'm a better man for listening to your show and learning to appreciate girl pop.
	♥ 4:52pm Vanessa Tara: my father remembers his father listening to a brenda lee or connie francis record and bawling his eyes out ... i do the same with soul music, doo wop, some gospel
	♥ 4:53pm djsheilab: I so much appreciate your comment, WM. Thank you!
	♥ 4:54pm Vanessa Tara: there are certain songs: brenda and the tabs doing "that's the price you have to pay" or the moments doing "love on a two way street" or the chantels doing "look in my eyes" which make me crumble
	♥ 4:54pm Vanessa Tara: Sheila: thank you!
	♥ 4:56pm HyperDose: NikiA! We haven't crossed paths in a hot freeform minute, hope all is well. =]
	4:57pm Miss G: Vanessa Tara, music so connects us. . .two weeks ago we all gathered at the cemetery for the first time. I played on my phone my parents' favorite song, "Always" Irving Berlin -- the slow Frank Sinatra version. When this person was in a coma, we played alot this Yo Yo Ma piece he loved, Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prélude, and it really seemed to help him. He played cello in the local amateur orchestra, he learned it after age 50.
	♥ 4:57pm Gurldoggie: This song is blowing my mind.
	4:58pm sydsyd: This is awesome I am painting and very much in the zone
	4:58pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday, Sheila B.!!!
	4:59pm Anton: This lost girls track is bringing tears! Thank you for sharing!
	5:00pm Joey Vento: Vanessa..sorry about grand-dad!! What a life he must have lived!!!
	♥ 5:04pm djsheilab: The LOVE for "Love, Lovers" is STRONG! Thank you, Gurldoggie, sydsyd, Andrea Egert, + Anton!

	5:15pm Miss G: Can't wait to see that No Wave show at the Museum of the City of New York! Enjoy it, tickets winner!
	♥ 5:15pm Frank Zaatar: I just saw that exhibit last week (on our first trip to NYC in 15 months)! Bring your favorite earphones and be prepared to spend loads of time watching some outrageous video.
	5:15pm Jett: I was very involved in the music biz during that period. Exhibit should be very cool!
	♥ 5:17pm Frank Zaatar: @Jett, don't be surprised if you see yourself in a crowd (or a band?).
	5:19pm Zephyr: Abagail interview!! My father was the Jo Mama drummer. Joel “Bishop” O’Brien. Rest In Peace. Please tell her I’m a listener all the time and I’ll certainly be listening to the interview.

	5:23pm Cooh John: Nina. Sigh!
	5:23pm Zephyr: Yes. Please tell her. I’m in touch with some of Joel’s people from the way back. Sadly many are no longer here.
	5:25pm NikiA: all is great @hyperdose - spending lots of time at the beach, and just moved to a new apartment :)
