	12:10pm fred: @Diana: Cambodia has already been visited: wfmu.org...
	🚂 12:10pm Michael 98145: and away we go ⚡
	12:11pm Little Danny: Hi David, all!
	12:11pm David Dichelle: Hello Michael and Danny!
	🚂 12:14pm Diana in Hungary: fred: Ah, you are right, thank you. Then I will guess Turkey.
	🚂 12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! Glad to be aboard.
	12:20pm David Dichelle: Glad to have you aboard, RRN!
	🚂 12:21pm Diana in Hungary: This Anna & Elizabeth is wonderful! They remind me very slightly of the Roches.
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Yes, a great duo, surely not the last time we hear them on the show.
	🚂 12:29pm dutchtheo: Hello, David, and subway ramblers, get your kicks on roud 140
	12:29pm David Dichelle: Hey there, D. Theo!
	12:32pm melinda: Far out!
	12:33pm melinda: Nettlebed Collective is a great name. Reminds me of Dust on the Nettles.
	12:36pm Stanley: Nettlebed is a village in Buckinghamshire in England. I was there on a walking holiday when I was a young man. It was very pretty.
	12:39pm David Dichelle: I suppose it has something to do with the TV series, or maybe it's just where Clarke Peters lives.
	🚂 12:39pm Threemoons: Where is the picture for today from? Judging from the foliage, I'm gonna guess the Bronx or Germany
	12:40pm David Dichelle: Almost all of the pictures are from in and around Leipzig. This week is a weird spot I stumbled across a couple of days ago around an hour by bike outside of town.
	12:42pm Phillippe: Leipzig needs to have a conversation with Jamaica about bogarting the sun
	🚂 12:42pm Threemoons: @DD thank you!
	12:43pm David Dichelle: The last couple of summers were hot and much too dry, not so much this year.
	🚂 12:47pm Diana in Hungary: Wow to Kim Doo Soo's "Bohemian"!
	12:49pm David Dichelle: One of my new discoveries this past week, in fact.
	🚂 12:52pm Threemoons: This Savina Yannatou is gorgeous.
	12:52pm melinda: @Threemoons I concur
	🚂 12:52pm Diana in Hungary: Oh wow... this melody (of "El Sueño de la Hija del Rey") is often sung at B'nai Jeshurun in NYC, with the piyut "Shahar Avakeshkha" as the words.
	🚂 12:53pm Threemoons: @Diana I KNEW the tune was familiar! Have heard that variation at Chabad LIC and Lab/Shul services.
	12:57pm David Dichelle: Yes, it is a Sephardic folk song, here in a slightly Ladino Spanish, I believe. This version is about the dream of the daughter of the king of France.
	🚂 12:58pm Threemoons: I once went to a Sephardic music symposium at Cornell a zillion years ago when I was a student there, back when wooly mammoths made their stately migrations across the Finger Lakes Ice Sheets. Anyway, there is a VERY long tradition of cantors adapting local melodies for prayers. One of the performers then showed us footage (and then performed) a prayer that she heard in a Jewish community in India--I forgot which piyut it was but it was sung to the tune of the standard British Navy Hornpipe tune!
	🚂 12:59pm Threemoons: And two of my frequent dining companions at my dorm went to the same shul growing up; they grew up singing one of the Rosh Hashana prayers to the tune of Yellow Submarine!
	12:59pm Stanley: Unmistakably Márta
	1:00pm melinda: @Threemoons I have a compilation of music of the Jewish people of Uganda that I learned about from Bob Brainen's show, and many of the tunes sound like Protestant hymns.
	🚂 1:01pm Michael 98145: Beautiful set. BTW, apropos nothing, i just got some great Raven stamps from the USPS.
	1:02pm David Dichelle: 3M: Reform Beatles?
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Michael - can the stamps be used to send messages by raven?
	🚂 1:06pm Michael 98145: Probably. Ravens are quite clever.
	🚂 1:06pm chris in the redwoods: wow! love this Binka Dobreva. alos, hellos all around, David and folks.
	🚂 1:07pm Michael 98145: this singing strikes a chord in me
	1:07pm David Dichelle: I suppose the question is whether the words/lyrics fit the other melody. Similarly, one weird quirk here was that the GDR (East German) anthem was written so that you could sing the West German, now German again, anthem to the melody of the East German anthem.
	1:07pm David Dichelle: Hello, Chris!
	🚂 1:08pm Michael 98145: Flowers From Thrace
	🚂 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been lost down a Revolver Anniversary Beatles rabbithole - but conquering distraction to return for this arresting track.
	🚂 1:10pm Yvang: Superb !
	1:11pm Hubig Pie: Oh my....
	1:12pm doctorjazz: Hey commuters!
	1:13pm Little Danny: Hi doc!
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Hey, LD!
	🚂 1:15pm Threemoons: @Melinda that's interesting RE Uganda!
	🚂 1:17pm Threemoons: @DD LOL that same prayer could not only be sung to Yellow Submarine, but to "Puff the Magic Dragon" (which has been adapted for other prayers).
	🚂 1:18pm Threemoons: @DD throw it on please!
	🚂 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Revolver anniversary today includes YellowSub in fact...
	🚂 1:19pm Yvang: The gallo langage is a consequence of roman occupation in brittany. Maybe Asterix was speaking gallo.
	🚂 1:19pm Threemoons: @RR it's a sign from the beyond!!
	1:22pm David Dichelle: Greetings Hubig Pie and Doctor J!
	1:24pm Marie: Hey David and fellow riders--onboard and totally digging! My guess today is Belgium
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Marie!
	1:25pm Marie: Gracias! How do you say thanks in Esperanto?
	🚂 1:25pm Diana in Hungary: For a couple of seconds this "Ulman" reminded me of Camper Van Beethoven. I think I'm thinking of the last song on Key Lime Pie.
	🚂 1:25pm Diana in Hungary: I meant to put "Modal Scales" in quotes, not Ulman.
	1:26pm David Dichelle: Marie: It's "dankon"
	1:29pm Marie: Dankon, David! "Dank On!"
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: greetings David and all
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Nedankinde, Marie!
	1:30pm Will in Norman: is that a kora I hear?
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel - and Will!
	1:31pm David Dichelle: 'Tis indeed a kora, as performed by Solo Cissokho.
	1:32pm David Dichelle: Diana: That could be an influence. Funny, since they often play more traditional sounding pieces.
	1:33pm Will in Norman: nice. West african kora music is some of the world's most beautiful music imo
	1:35pm David Dichelle: This is kora meets kanklės (Lithuanian kantele) in fact.
	1:35pm Will in Norman: oooh even better. bardic strings colliding!
	1:41pm Jan Turkenburg: Lovely music. Hi everybody!
	1:42pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Jan!
	1:48pm Stanley: I have had the immense pleasure of seeing in concert the West African greats - Toumani Diabaté, Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita and Djelimady Tounkara. I feel very privilaged.
	1:49pm Will in Norman: I've seen Salif Keita, but none of those others. Privileged indeed!
	1:50pm Jay S: Hi, David and everybody! Ah, the great voice of Ricardo Lemvo! Thanks for playing this.
	1:50pm Will in Norman: but I did get to see ethiopian singer mahmoud ahmed perform once in washington dc. 1 of the most memorable shows I've been to
	1:50pm Stanley: In fact the Salif Keita gig was probably the best I have ever been to. In the encore, we were down the front and he personally pulled me and some others onto the stage, so we could dance with him and the singers and players!
	1:50pm David Dichelle: Hello, Jay - my pleasure!
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Stanley, what a wonderful moment! Was it a large venue?
	🚂 1:52pm Threemoons: YAY! Thank you DD!!
	1:53pm headcleaner: I had the (in retrospect dark), but sublime pleasure of seeing what was apparently Ballaké Sissoko's final performance on his "impossible to replace" Kora before it was destroyed by zombie TSA agents - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/feb/06/malian-musician-kora-ballake-sissoko-dismantled-tsa-us-customs
	🚂 1:53pm Diana in Hungary: I second the yay!
	1:54pm David Dichelle: :)
	🚂 1:54pm chresti: Puff the magic dragon!
	🚂 1:54pm Michael 98145: 😃🎵
	1:54pm Will in Norman: that is just terrible, i'm convinced the TSA hates music. safely transporting instruments is nigh impossible on planes
	1:54pm Stanley: David - yes, pretty much. The Usher Hall in Edinburgh (capacity 2,200) but he needed a large stage for his sixteen piece group. Will. Salif Keita. Absolutely incredilbe.
	1:55pm Stanley: I get goosepimples just thinking about it!
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: Tunisia to win Cuba to place Argentina to show I believe that's a six dollar bet, I'm good for it , I promise
	1:56pm Will in Norman: for a second i thought you were talking about the olympics
	1:57pm Stanley: Quick guess - Haiti
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: okay let's go to soa tome & principe shall we?
	1:57pm fred: @Will in Norman: I saw Mahmoud Ahmed a few times. My shoulders hurt just thinking about it
	1:59pm Will in Norman: the kantele is typically classified as a zither
	🚂 1:59pm WR: Hello Continental riders and David D. Have been listening while working but now going on calls so saying my thank yous for the episode today. Laters all.
	🚂 2:01pm Yvang: And the winner is...
	2:03pm Will in Norman: I was listening to Turkmen music earlier this morning!
	🚂 2:03pm Michael 98145: Ask your doctor if Turkmenistan is right for you. Dankon.
	2:06pm David Dichelle: Thank you for checking in, WR!
	2:07pm David Dichelle: Will, thanks that was the word I was looking for - and that is quite a coincidence!
	2:07pm Phillippe: I think Turkmenistan once lost to Brazil in beach volleyball -- IN BRAZIL! -- so I'm going to count this as a win.
	2:08pm fred: Cool! I have heard very little music from Turkmenistan, and I don't think I ever saw a musician from there. I'm happy to have that gap filled
	2:09pm Will in Norman: on modern turkmen orthography - just remember the 'w' is like an english 'v' or a german 'w'
	2:10pm headcleaner: The Brezhnev era busts a groove (strictly speaking we would have had either Andropov or Chernenko at the helm of the CPSU at the time of this album's release; but psychologically and aesthetically it all rolls into 'late-Brezhnev')
	2:11pm David Dichelle: Fred: Yes, this segment is dedicated to filling all those gaps, including my own.
	🚂 2:11pm Threemoons: Turkmenistan! That's the one run by a despot who makes his book required reading in all schools IIRC.....
	🚂 2:13pm Threemoons: Aaah here we go: www.atlasobscura.com...
	2:17pm David Dichelle: Will: Yes, the /w/ part is easy for me over here.
	2:18pm fred: I did see Oghlan Bakhshi a couple of times, but he was born in Iran. The hat he wears in concerts is definitely Turkmen though (distinctive hats are a thing in traditional music from central Asia)
	2:18pm David Dichelle: Headcleaner: There is that one rocking version of the Soviet anthem that perfectly exemplifies what you're saying, it can be found on YouTube.
	2:19pm Will in Norman: I have a great soviet lp of funky versions of russian folksongs from around this period, it's fantastic
	2:20pm David Dichelle: What's it called?
	2:21pm Will in Norman: 'the Melodia Ensemble Plays Popular Russian Folk And Soviet Songs' www.discogs.com...
	2:22pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Will!
	2:22pm Will in Norman: when I bought it i assumed it was just typical balalaika orchestra stuff, especially since melodiya was the main state-owned label in the USSR, i was pleasantly surprised when i put it on
	2:25pm David Dichelle: This one seems to be about Turkmenistan.
	🚂 2:28pm Michael 98145: @3m, holy wow!
	2:29pm Marie: love this!
	2:36pm Marie: link to the article about Turkmenistan in Encyclopedia Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/place/Turkmenistan
	2:37pm headcleaner: @David - yup - in stark contrast to the physical metabolism of most of the Politburo members at the time - the early 80s were a vibrant and pulsing time in the SU, musically
	2:38pm David Dichelle: 3M: I now remember seeing that book in fact. An old friend brought it back from a visit to the country.
	🚂 2:46pm Michael 98145: Make Turkmenistan Turkmen Again
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: what a great mix of sounds in this set
	2:47pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:48pm David Dichelle: Michael, I thank you on behalf of the Turkmen people.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up live at 3PM - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/106437
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David!
	🚂 2:55pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, David! take good care, all. :)
	🚂 2:55pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David, for a beautiful three hours!
	🚂 2:55pm Michael 98145: Again, Dankon
	2:56pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone - quick backannouncing to follow...
	🚂 2:56pm Michael 98145: ( @Diana, love your happy photo )
	2:56pm fred: Thanks David! Iran would be a fascinating stop, so many cultures there. And bagpipes too!
	🚂 2:57pm chresti: Thanks David!
	2:57pm Phillippe: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:58pm Diana in Hungary: Thanks, Michael 98145!
	🚂 2:58pm Yvang: Thank you, David! I really enjoyed the trip!
	🚂 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ DD !
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David!
	3:00pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone!

	🚂 12:59pm Threemoons: And two of my frequent dining companions at my dorm went to the same shul growing up; they grew up singing one of the Rosh Hashana prayers to the tune of Yellow Submarine!
	12:59pm Stanley: Unmistakably Márta
	1:00pm melinda: @Threemoons I have a compilation of music of the Jewish people of Uganda that I learned about from Bob Brainen's show, and many of the tunes sound like Protestant hymns.
	🚂 1:01pm Michael 98145: Beautiful set. BTW, apropos nothing, i just got some great Raven stamps from the USPS.
	1:02pm David Dichelle: 3M: Reform Beatles?
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Michael - can the stamps be used to send messages by raven?
	🚂 1:06pm Michael 98145: Probably. Ravens are quite clever.
	🚂 1:06pm chris in the redwoods: wow! love this Binka Dobreva. alos, hellos all around, David and folks.
	🚂 1:07pm Michael 98145: this singing strikes a chord in me
	1:07pm David Dichelle: I suppose the question is whether the words/lyrics fit the other melody. Similarly, one weird quirk here was that the GDR (East German) anthem was written so that you could sing the West German, now German again, anthem to the melody of the East German anthem.
	1:07pm David Dichelle: Hello, Chris!
	🚂 1:08pm Michael 98145: Flowers From Thrace
	🚂 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been lost down a Revolver Anniversary Beatles rabbithole - but conquering distraction to return for this arresting track.
	🚂 1:10pm Yvang: Superb !
	1:11pm Hubig Pie: Oh my....
	1:12pm doctorjazz: Hey commuters!
	1:13pm Little Danny: Hi doc!
	1:14pm doctorjazz: Hey, LD!
	🚂 1:15pm Threemoons: @Melinda that's interesting RE Uganda!
	🚂 1:17pm Threemoons: @DD LOL that same prayer could not only be sung to Yellow Submarine, but to "Puff the Magic Dragon" (which has been adapted for other prayers).
	🚂 1:18pm Threemoons: @DD throw it on please!
	🚂 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Revolver anniversary today includes YellowSub in fact...
	🚂 1:19pm Yvang: The gallo langage is a consequence of roman occupation in brittany. Maybe Asterix was speaking gallo.
	🚂 1:19pm Threemoons: @RR it's a sign from the beyond!!
	1:22pm David Dichelle: Greetings Hubig Pie and Doctor J!
	1:24pm Marie: Hey David and fellow riders--onboard and totally digging! My guess today is Belgium
	1:24pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Marie!
	1:25pm Marie: Gracias! How do you say thanks in Esperanto?
	🚂 1:25pm Diana in Hungary: For a couple of seconds this "Ulman" reminded me of Camper Van Beethoven. I think I'm thinking of the last song on Key Lime Pie.
	🚂 1:25pm Diana in Hungary: I meant to put "Modal Scales" in quotes, not Ulman.
	1:26pm David Dichelle: Marie: It's "dankon"
	1:29pm Marie: Dankon, David! "Dank On!"
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: greetings David and all
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Nedankinde, Marie!
	1:30pm Will in Norman: is that a kora I hear?
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel - and Will!
	1:31pm David Dichelle: 'Tis indeed a kora, as performed by Solo Cissokho.
	1:32pm David Dichelle: Diana: That could be an influence. Funny, since they often play more traditional sounding pieces.
	1:33pm Will in Norman: nice. West african kora music is some of the world's most beautiful music imo
	1:35pm David Dichelle: This is kora meets kanklės (Lithuanian kantele) in fact.
	1:35pm Will in Norman: oooh even better. bardic strings colliding!
	1:41pm Jan Turkenburg: Lovely music. Hi everybody!
	1:42pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Jan!
	1:48pm Stanley: I have had the immense pleasure of seeing in concert the West African greats - Toumani Diabaté, Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita and Djelimady Tounkara. I feel very privilaged.
	1:49pm Will in Norman: I've seen Salif Keita, but none of those others. Privileged indeed!
	1:50pm Jay S: Hi, David and everybody! Ah, the great voice of Ricardo Lemvo! Thanks for playing this.
	1:50pm Will in Norman: but I did get to see ethiopian singer mahmoud ahmed perform once in washington dc. 1 of the most memorable shows I've been to
	1:50pm Stanley: In fact the Salif Keita gig was probably the best I have ever been to. In the encore, we were down the front and he personally pulled me and some others onto the stage, so we could dance with him and the singers and players!
	1:50pm David Dichelle: Hello, Jay - my pleasure!
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Stanley, what a wonderful moment! Was it a large venue?
	🚂 1:52pm Threemoons: YAY! Thank you DD!!
	1:53pm headcleaner: I had the (in retrospect dark), but sublime pleasure of seeing what was apparently Ballaké Sissoko's final performance on his "impossible to replace" Kora before it was destroyed by zombie TSA agents - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/feb/06/malian-musician-kora-ballake-sissoko-dismantled-tsa-us-customs
	🚂 1:53pm Diana in Hungary: I second the yay!
	1:54pm David Dichelle: :)
	🚂 1:54pm chresti: Puff the magic dragon!
	🚂 1:54pm Michael 98145: 😃🎵
	1:54pm Will in Norman: that is just terrible, i'm convinced the TSA hates music. safely transporting instruments is nigh impossible on planes
	1:54pm Stanley: David - yes, pretty much. The Usher Hall in Edinburgh (capacity 2,200) but he needed a large stage for his sixteen piece group. Will. Salif Keita. Absolutely incredilbe.
	1:55pm Stanley: I get goosepimples just thinking about it!
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: Tunisia to win Cuba to place Argentina to show I believe that's a six dollar bet, I'm good for it , I promise
	1:56pm Will in Norman: for a second i thought you were talking about the olympics
	1:57pm Stanley: Quick guess - Haiti
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: okay let's go to soa tome & principe shall we?
	1:57pm fred: @Will in Norman: I saw Mahmoud Ahmed a few times. My shoulders hurt just thinking about it
	1:59pm Will in Norman: the kantele is typically classified as a zither
	🚂 1:59pm WR: Hello Continental riders and David D. Have been listening while working but now going on calls so saying my thank yous for the episode today. Laters all.
	🚂 2:01pm Yvang: And the winner is...
	2:03pm Will in Norman: I was listening to Turkmen music earlier this morning!
	🚂 2:03pm Michael 98145: Ask your doctor if Turkmenistan is right for you. Dankon.
	2:06pm David Dichelle: Thank you for checking in, WR!
	2:07pm David Dichelle: Will, thanks that was the word I was looking for - and that is quite a coincidence!
	2:07pm Phillippe: I think Turkmenistan once lost to Brazil in beach volleyball -- IN BRAZIL! -- so I'm going to count this as a win.
	2:08pm fred: Cool! I have heard very little music from Turkmenistan, and I don't think I ever saw a musician from there. I'm happy to have that gap filled
	2:09pm Will in Norman: on modern turkmen orthography - just remember the 'w' is like an english 'v' or a german 'w'
	2:10pm headcleaner: The Brezhnev era busts a groove (strictly speaking we would have had either Andropov or Chernenko at the helm of the CPSU at the time of this album's release; but psychologically and aesthetically it all rolls into 'late-Brezhnev')
	2:11pm David Dichelle: Fred: Yes, this segment is dedicated to filling all those gaps, including my own.
	🚂 2:11pm Threemoons: Turkmenistan! That's the one run by a despot who makes his book required reading in all schools IIRC.....
	🚂 2:13pm Threemoons: Aaah here we go: www.atlasobscura.com...
	2:17pm David Dichelle: Will: Yes, the /w/ part is easy for me over here.
	2:18pm fred: I did see Oghlan Bakhshi a couple of times, but he was born in Iran. The hat he wears in concerts is definitely Turkmen though (distinctive hats are a thing in traditional music from central Asia)
	2:18pm David Dichelle: Headcleaner: There is that one rocking version of the Soviet anthem that perfectly exemplifies what you're saying, it can be found on YouTube.
	2:19pm Will in Norman: I have a great soviet lp of funky versions of russian folksongs from around this period, it's fantastic
	2:20pm David Dichelle: What's it called?
	2:21pm Will in Norman: 'the Melodia Ensemble Plays Popular Russian Folk And Soviet Songs' www.discogs.com...
	2:22pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Will!
	2:22pm Will in Norman: when I bought it i assumed it was just typical balalaika orchestra stuff, especially since melodiya was the main state-owned label in the USSR, i was pleasantly surprised when i put it on
	2:25pm David Dichelle: This one seems to be about Turkmenistan.
	🚂 2:28pm Michael 98145: @3m, holy wow!
	2:29pm Marie: love this!
	2:36pm Marie: link to the article about Turkmenistan in Encyclopedia Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/place/Turkmenistan
	2:37pm headcleaner: @David - yup - in stark contrast to the physical metabolism of most of the Politburo members at the time - the early 80s were a vibrant and pulsing time in the SU, musically
	2:38pm David Dichelle: 3M: I now remember seeing that book in fact. An old friend brought it back from a visit to the country.
	🚂 2:46pm Michael 98145: Make Turkmenistan Turkmen Again
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: what a great mix of sounds in this set
	2:47pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:48pm David Dichelle: Michael, I thank you on behalf of the Turkmen people.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up live at 3PM - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/106437
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David!
	🚂 2:55pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, David! take good care, all. :)
	🚂 2:55pm Diana in Hungary: Thank you, David, for a beautiful three hours!
	🚂 2:55pm Michael 98145: Again, Dankon
	2:56pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone - quick backannouncing to follow...
	🚂 2:56pm Michael 98145: ( @Diana, love your happy photo )
	2:56pm fred: Thanks David! Iran would be a fascinating stop, so many cultures there. And bagpipes too!
	🚂 2:57pm chresti: Thanks David!
	2:57pm Phillippe: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:58pm Diana in Hungary: Thanks, Michael 98145!
	🚂 2:58pm Yvang: Thank you, David! I really enjoyed the trip!
	🚂 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY As Ever DJ DD !
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David!
	3:00pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone!
