	♥ 11:55am Sean in Bristol UK: Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all

	♥ 11:59am Webhamster Henry: If you're filling in for Kenzo, you should drop in a few little Alan Watts sound bites.

	♥ 12:20pm Irene Trudel: Salutations to you, Annabella and Kevin!
	12:21pm TDK60: Hi Irene. Alas, can only stay a bit..
	🥁 ♥ 12:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: TDK60: glad you're here, now
	12:23pm TDK60: Hi Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧!
	12:23pm sphere: This is a really pretty set. I dig muchly.
	12:23pm Peter K.: I wonder if Waswas ever shared a bill with Was (Not Was).
	♥ 12:26pm Irene Trudel: Hey TDK60! I'm on till 5pm, so maybe you can come back later??
	♥ 12:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: sphere, I so agree, as always the bar is raised to a high standard. TDK, hopefully you can dip in later this afternoon
	♥ 12:26pm Irene Trudel: Har-har-HARDY-har-har, Peter!
	12:28pm TDK60: Will do if I can, Sean. Glad to hear you're going long, Irene.
	12:29pm Stork: Great great new album from Lucy Dacus!!
	12:30pm Peter K.: On a more serious note, I agree: This is a delightful set. And this Lucy Dacus track is extraordinary.
	♥ 12:30pm StringOFperils: Lurking. Being a sombre reptile.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: SOp: hopefully these tunes are supporting that endeavor
	♥ 12:31pm alanr: @Webhamster Henry & @Stork: I can offer some tracks from me instead, if you do not mind a different last name. Watt? No way, you say?
	12:34pm sphere: Irene, I have an idea to simplify your requests. Would you like a Google spreadsheet open to all listeners? People could add their songs. Only people with the Sheets link could add tunes.
	♥ 12:38pm StringOFperils: ...something for later, if you're interested in the singer Karen Dalton > www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Irene Trudel: Hi String OFperils and alanr! Not sure if a spreadsheet would help. Too many thing to look at! But thanks for offering.
	♥ 12:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Mushy!
	12:41pm ?: 5 hours of Trudel! Who doesn't like Mondays?
	♥ 12:42pm Sean in Bristol UK: Happy days, I am allowed to fly West, planning a trip next September to my favourite place on the planet, the good old US of A!
	♥ 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	🥁 ♥ 12:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ooh, thanks, SOp, look forward to checking that out. What a talented and fascinating creature was Karen Dalton.
	12:46pm Peter K.: Rebo Flordigan has a very interesting story: https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19970513&slug=2538864
	12:52pm sphere: @ Irene - De nada.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Sean! wonderful news!
	♥ 12:53pm doctorjazz: So pretty, nice to hear, totally stressed. Hi all!
	♥ 12:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mx, huge hole this last two years but insignificant compared to folks who have gone through a lot worse
	♥ 12:56pm Irene Trudel: Good Day to you, Summer and Michael and Sylvia and doctorjazz! So glad I can de-stress you all (or try).
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Peter: thanks for that, too. Lovely track that was and I didn't know her background Sean: I hear you on that, I am so grateful for the benefits I enjoy. It is so great you will be able to refill your heart with the places and people you love.
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: AND I'm enjoying this Chopin so much
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: and this Tomita is making me glad I put in the earbuds today. LOVED this album as a child
	♥ 12:59pm StringOFperils: At least with Chopin I can reflect on the dramatic Romanticism of Sturm und Drang, and laugh a little. That's my best Dick Cavett impersonation.
	♥ 1:00pm Webhamster Henry: So Tomita-y!
	♥ 1:00pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Peter, Thanks for that link about Rebo! I hadn't herd of her until Doug sent this CD.
	1:00pm Peter K.: Sean, let's all go to a Mets game next year -- although if their September 2022 is anything like their September 2021 has been, maybe not.
	♥ 1:02pm Sean in Bristol UK: Peter, it would mean the world to me for us to travel on The No 5 to Flushing. This season really did hurt
	♥ 1:03pm Sean in Bristol UK: Tomita, wonderful
	♥ 1:06pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have some nice Chopin and Debussy piano rolls...
	♥ 1:11pm Irene Trudel: Henry, I bet those sounded great. Do you know who performed on those piano rolls? Debussy lived until 1918 so it's possible he might've recorded a few in his day.
	🥁 ♥ 1:15pm TonyR: IT breaks out the Red Seal and Columbia Masterworks records!!!
	1:16pm Peter K.: Sean, it's a (tentative) date! Do you think the Mets should try to re-sign Baez? He'll be expensive.
	♥ 1:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: He didn’t turn out to be the ‘Cespedis’ kind of player we were all hoping for. Strikeout rate, insane. Should of been Bryant which is still a possibility. But I agree, a tad too expensive. A chat soon, Mr K, I have lost count of the soft cuddly toys that have been thrown at the tv screen this season!!
	♥ 1:22pm Irene Trudel: It's been too long since I've played any classical music on the show, TonyR. I have a sentimental reason today-- It's music my mom loved, and passed that love of the music to me. (The anniversary of her 14th year away from this earth is tomorrow.) I do need to make it more of the mix in the future.
	♥ 1:23pm Sean in Bristol UK: Meanwhile I have been turned into a gooey like substance due to this incredibly wonderful set. My Queen, I doth pay homage to the royal you!
	♥ 1:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: That set, Irene, superlatives doesn’t even cover this
	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm chris in the redwoods: i love this Haden and Metheny album so much. also, hello, Irene and folks. finally tuning in...
	1:26pm Marco Esquandolas: That was a really fun and unexpected set, Irene! Thank you!
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: love to mom!
	♥ 1:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, your avatar moves me!
	♥ 1:26pm Webhamster Henry: Grofé was big on piano rolls too! I had rolls played by E. Robert Schmitz, Sergei Rachmaninoff, George Copeland, Leo Ornstein and more! All inherited from my father's cousin.
	🥁 ♥ 1:33pm chris in the redwoods: hehe, thanks, Sean. :)
	🥁 ♥ 1:34pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: hooray live music! I just went to my first indoor concert last week. I felt so many feelings at once
	♥ 1:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: Got my booster coming up soon
	1:36pm Peter K.: Sean, Kris Bryant would cost roughly as much as Baez, so why go after one rather than the other? I don't think he's any better. And although we all know Baez strikes out too much, that is really the ONLY thing wrong with his game. (Reggie Jackson struck out a lot, too. I still wouldn't have minded having him on my team.) It's irrelevant, though, because the Mets are not going to give Baez OR Bryant the kind of money they'll be asking. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
	♥ 1:38pm Irene Trudel: Wow, Henry! What happened to the rolls? Mx. Baba Bee, same feelings here. We got very emotional hearing the ensemble live, and they were in a joyous mood.
	♥ 1:55pm Sean in Bristol UK: My woofer Lola is looking at me with disapproving eyes, time to don the headphones, open up the WFMU app and head out into the chilly evening
	♥ 1:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: Walky time for the pup!
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm chris in the redwoods: have a nice walk, Sean and Lola.
	♥ 2:01pm Webhamster Henry: @Irene They and the AMPICO are currently on loan to a friend of my sister's until one of us gets a house big enough to reclaim them all (about 15 boxes of rolls, most from the 20s and 30s). I miss that thing!
	♥ 2:01pm Irene Trudel: When Lola's gotta go, you gotta go!
	2:07pm Listener Robert: I got in late...was there any explanation of the collage in the photo?
	♥ 2:12pm Irene Trudel: Hi robert! No explanation-- maybe just a mood. The music, flows into the the internet through, er, the tubes. Or maybe I'm just losing my marbles...
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irene. hauntingly beautiful album. :)
	♥ 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: Decidedly autumnal out there and getting dark early but having Irene’s choice of music in my ears made this walk a nice chilled out affair. Having a white ball of fluff, a yellow ball in a green field helped!
	♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: Love thus Bartz!
	♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: Sounds South African-ish.
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for pointing that out, doctorjazz! I do hear a South African vibe in Bartz's music here.
	♥ 2:45pm Sean in Bristol UK: If I may be so bold but a track from ‘AW, ATS’ would go down rather well.
	2:52pm northguineahills: Ok, off for a job interview, be back later....
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm chris in the redwoods: knock em dead, ngh!
	♥ 2:53pm Irene Trudel: Good luck, NGH!
	2:57pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Best of luck, NGH
	♥ 2:57pm Irene Trudel: That Might be arranged once the turntable is free, Sean.
	♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: That's why you're casually announcing at 3:05... hadn't checked the schedule). YAY!!!
	3:06pm Sunny: What a treat! Two more hours!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm chris in the redwoods: thanks for the great tunes, Irene. off to grab a bite. take care and have great times, all!
	♥ 3:12pm Irene Trudel: Thanks chris and Sunny! And, yes doctorjazz-- I announced earlier that I would keep on keepin' on for another two hours.
	3:13pm Marshland: Yay, an extra couple of hours :)
	3:15pm Marshland: Are you familiar with Ruth Goller's "Skylla" Irene? If not, check it out :)
	♥ 3:19pm Webhamster Henry: Extra Innings of Irene.
	3:20pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Todd, thank you Irene
	3:25pm annie: still hangin' in here irene...are you taking requests yet?
	♥ 3:30pm Irene Trudel: Hey Marshland! Not sure I know that one but will check her out. annie, sure--send requests my way.
	3:34pm annie: i haven't heard any pierre bensusan in ages, do you have a few of his tunes?
	3:40pm Gerry from Miami: Irene, this last set has been transcendent. Back in the 70s, none of my friends were buying Shawn Phillips or Nick Drake records. Didn't know what they were missing. The Traffic and Rundgren are two of my all-time favorites by those artists as well. Thanks for brightening my day. The whole show has been terrific.
	♥ 3:40pm Irene Trudel: You got it, annie! Haven't herd his music in a while either.
	♥ 3:42pm Webhamster Henry: That's some tuning, dadgad .
	3:43pm annie: oh, wonderful!!!
	3:44pm northguineahills: Ok, back. Interview went pretty well, considering I'm on 2 hours of sleep.
	3:46pm annie: break a leg, ngh, hope you get the job
	♥ 3:47pm StringOFperils: The very item. So sad sounding.
	♥ 3:48pm Irene Trudel: Hope it works out for you, NGH!
	3:49pm annie: oh, and how about the inimitable ralph mctell, "the gypsy"
	♥ 3:50pm Irene Trudel: Gerry, Shawn Phillips was an unexpected gem when I discovered his music a long time ago. Glad I have several of his albums.
	3:51pm Peter K.: At the risk of being extremely repetitive, this set is extraordinary! The segues ... the dreamy mood ... perfection!
	3:53pm northguineahills: danks, annie! Haven't heard this side of Fred Neil.
	3:56pm annie: :)
	3:57pm John from Haledon: What a great show, Irene! You're on fire in extra innings.
	♥ 3:57pm Irene Trudel: Couldn't find that McTell tune quickly enough. Hope this will suffice.
	4:00pm annie: just to hear the voice.... it's fine. play that other when you can, it's a great song
	♥ 4:04pm Irene Trudel: Here's a link to the Dangerous Minds article on the recently unearthed Traffic show from 1972 in Santa Monica: :dangerousminds.net...
	4:06pm Peter K.: Hey, don't knock endless reruns of "The Big Bang Theory"!
	4:10pm TDK60: Hello again Irene.
	♥ 4:14pm Irene Trudel: Glad you're enjoying the show, John. And welcome back TDK60!
	4:37pm TDK60: Marissa Nadler often awakes my wistfuls. Is this album a new one?
	4:42pm Gerry from Miami: Hope this doesn't ruin the vibe, but none other than the redoubtable Miley Cyrus has done a version of this Mazzy Star classic. Don't jump to conclusions---it's actually pretty good. You can find it on YouTube.
	4:43pm TDK60: Tom Rapp & P.B.S.!
	4:45pm Peter K.: Miley Cyrus is a tremendous singer. The only conclusion I'm apt to jump to when I learn that she's covered a song is that her version is probably really good.
	♥ 4:47pm Irene Trudel: Yes, TDK60 . Marissa's new one is being released Oct. 29th. And I agree with Peter--Miley Cyrus is a great singer and I love her choice of covers.
	4:48pm TDK60: Don't even know who Miley Cyrus is. Hee.
	4:50pm Peter K.: Five straight hours of Irene Trudel dreaminess -- what a blessing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. When you sign off, get some rest. If you want a back rub first, just say the word.
	♥ 4:52pm Irene Trudel: You're the sweetest, Peter!
	4:53pm Gerry from Miami: Damn, Irene, playing all these artists I could never get my friends to listen to. Pearls Before Swine is another band that slipped through the cracks. Glad you have such great taste. That's WFMU's premier contribution, in my opinion---the ability to lead its listeners to music that may have passed them by, but is so worthy of hearing. Again, many thanks. I actually skipped an appointment to stay home and listen to your extended show today. Lucky us who are here. Those who missed this program always have the Archive to investigate, and I heartily encourage them to do so.
	♥ 4:55pm Irene Trudel: Thanks so much, Gerry! That's high praise. Thanks to all of you for hanging in with me today. I'll be back next Monday with a regular-length show. Stay tuned for the Drummer stream.
	4:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Irene!
	4:56pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Thank you, Irene, stellar show
	4:57pm Marshland: Thanks Irene, always essential listening.
	4:58pm annie: what a treat to have you for so long a show.. many thanks... <3
	♥ 5:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!

	♥ 12:31pm alanr: @Webhamster Henry & @Stork: I can offer some tracks from me instead, if you do not mind a different last name. Watt? No way, you say?
	12:34pm sphere: Irene, I have an idea to simplify your requests. Would you like a Google spreadsheet open to all listeners? People could add their songs. Only people with the Sheets link could add tunes.
	♥ 12:38pm StringOFperils: ...something for later, if you're interested in the singer Karen Dalton > www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Irene Trudel: Hi String OFperils and alanr! Not sure if a spreadsheet would help. Too many thing to look at! But thanks for offering.
	♥ 12:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Mushy!
	12:41pm ?: 5 hours of Trudel! Who doesn't like Mondays?
	♥ 12:42pm Sean in Bristol UK: Happy days, I am allowed to fly West, planning a trip next September to my favourite place on the planet, the good old US of A!
	♥ 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	🥁 ♥ 12:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ooh, thanks, SOp, look forward to checking that out. What a talented and fascinating creature was Karen Dalton.
	12:46pm Peter K.: Rebo Flordigan has a very interesting story: https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19970513&slug=2538864
	12:52pm sphere: @ Irene - De nada.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Sean! wonderful news!
	♥ 12:53pm doctorjazz: So pretty, nice to hear, totally stressed. Hi all!
	♥ 12:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mx, huge hole this last two years but insignificant compared to folks who have gone through a lot worse
	♥ 12:56pm Irene Trudel: Good Day to you, Summer and Michael and Sylvia and doctorjazz! So glad I can de-stress you all (or try).
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Peter: thanks for that, too. Lovely track that was and I didn't know her background Sean: I hear you on that, I am so grateful for the benefits I enjoy. It is so great you will be able to refill your heart with the places and people you love.
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: AND I'm enjoying this Chopin so much
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: and this Tomita is making me glad I put in the earbuds today. LOVED this album as a child
	♥ 12:59pm StringOFperils: At least with Chopin I can reflect on the dramatic Romanticism of Sturm und Drang, and laugh a little. That's my best Dick Cavett impersonation.
	♥ 1:00pm Webhamster Henry: So Tomita-y!
	♥ 1:00pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Peter, Thanks for that link about Rebo! I hadn't herd of her until Doug sent this CD.
	1:00pm Peter K.: Sean, let's all go to a Mets game next year -- although if their September 2022 is anything like their September 2021 has been, maybe not.
	♥ 1:02pm Sean in Bristol UK: Peter, it would mean the world to me for us to travel on The No 5 to Flushing. This season really did hurt
	♥ 1:03pm Sean in Bristol UK: Tomita, wonderful
	♥ 1:06pm Webhamster Henry: I used to have some nice Chopin and Debussy piano rolls...
	♥ 1:11pm Irene Trudel: Henry, I bet those sounded great. Do you know who performed on those piano rolls? Debussy lived until 1918 so it's possible he might've recorded a few in his day.
	🥁 ♥ 1:15pm TonyR: IT breaks out the Red Seal and Columbia Masterworks records!!!
	1:16pm Peter K.: Sean, it's a (tentative) date! Do you think the Mets should try to re-sign Baez? He'll be expensive.
	♥ 1:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: He didn’t turn out to be the ‘Cespedis’ kind of player we were all hoping for. Strikeout rate, insane. Should of been Bryant which is still a possibility. But I agree, a tad too expensive. A chat soon, Mr K, I have lost count of the soft cuddly toys that have been thrown at the tv screen this season!!
	♥ 1:22pm Irene Trudel: It's been too long since I've played any classical music on the show, TonyR. I have a sentimental reason today-- It's music my mom loved, and passed that love of the music to me. (The anniversary of her 14th year away from this earth is tomorrow.) I do need to make it more of the mix in the future.
	♥ 1:23pm Sean in Bristol UK: Meanwhile I have been turned into a gooey like substance due to this incredibly wonderful set. My Queen, I doth pay homage to the royal you!
	♥ 1:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: That set, Irene, superlatives doesn’t even cover this
	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm chris in the redwoods: i love this Haden and Metheny album so much. also, hello, Irene and folks. finally tuning in...
	1:26pm Marco Esquandolas: That was a really fun and unexpected set, Irene! Thank you!
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: love to mom!
	♥ 1:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, your avatar moves me!
	♥ 1:26pm Webhamster Henry: Grofé was big on piano rolls too! I had rolls played by E. Robert Schmitz, Sergei Rachmaninoff, George Copeland, Leo Ornstein and more! All inherited from my father's cousin.
	🥁 ♥ 1:33pm chris in the redwoods: hehe, thanks, Sean. :)
	🥁 ♥ 1:34pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: hooray live music! I just went to my first indoor concert last week. I felt so many feelings at once
	♥ 1:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: Got my booster coming up soon
	1:36pm Peter K.: Sean, Kris Bryant would cost roughly as much as Baez, so why go after one rather than the other? I don't think he's any better. And although we all know Baez strikes out too much, that is really the ONLY thing wrong with his game. (Reggie Jackson struck out a lot, too. I still wouldn't have minded having him on my team.) It's irrelevant, though, because the Mets are not going to give Baez OR Bryant the kind of money they'll be asking. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
	♥ 1:38pm Irene Trudel: Wow, Henry! What happened to the rolls? Mx. Baba Bee, same feelings here. We got very emotional hearing the ensemble live, and they were in a joyous mood.
	♥ 1:55pm Sean in Bristol UK: My woofer Lola is looking at me with disapproving eyes, time to don the headphones, open up the WFMU app and head out into the chilly evening
	♥ 1:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: Walky time for the pup!
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm chris in the redwoods: have a nice walk, Sean and Lola.
	♥ 2:01pm Webhamster Henry: @Irene They and the AMPICO are currently on loan to a friend of my sister's until one of us gets a house big enough to reclaim them all (about 15 boxes of rolls, most from the 20s and 30s). I miss that thing!
	♥ 2:01pm Irene Trudel: When Lola's gotta go, you gotta go!
	2:07pm Listener Robert: I got in late...was there any explanation of the collage in the photo?
	♥ 2:12pm Irene Trudel: Hi robert! No explanation-- maybe just a mood. The music, flows into the the internet through, er, the tubes. Or maybe I'm just losing my marbles...
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irene. hauntingly beautiful album. :)
	♥ 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: Decidedly autumnal out there and getting dark early but having Irene’s choice of music in my ears made this walk a nice chilled out affair. Having a white ball of fluff, a yellow ball in a green field helped!
	♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: Love thus Bartz!
	♥ 2:40pm doctorjazz: Sounds South African-ish.
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for pointing that out, doctorjazz! I do hear a South African vibe in Bartz's music here.
	♥ 2:45pm Sean in Bristol UK: If I may be so bold but a track from ‘AW, ATS’ would go down rather well.
	2:52pm northguineahills: Ok, off for a job interview, be back later....
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm chris in the redwoods: knock em dead, ngh!
	♥ 2:53pm Irene Trudel: Good luck, NGH!
	2:57pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Best of luck, NGH
	♥ 2:57pm Irene Trudel: That Might be arranged once the turntable is free, Sean.
	♥ 3:06pm doctorjazz: That's why you're casually announcing at 3:05... hadn't checked the schedule). YAY!!!
	3:06pm Sunny: What a treat! Two more hours!
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm chris in the redwoods: thanks for the great tunes, Irene. off to grab a bite. take care and have great times, all!
	♥ 3:12pm Irene Trudel: Thanks chris and Sunny! And, yes doctorjazz-- I announced earlier that I would keep on keepin' on for another two hours.
	3:13pm Marshland: Yay, an extra couple of hours :)
	3:15pm Marshland: Are you familiar with Ruth Goller's "Skylla" Irene? If not, check it out :)
	♥ 3:19pm Webhamster Henry: Extra Innings of Irene.
	3:20pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Todd, thank you Irene
	3:25pm annie: still hangin' in here irene...are you taking requests yet?
	♥ 3:30pm Irene Trudel: Hey Marshland! Not sure I know that one but will check her out. annie, sure--send requests my way.
	3:34pm annie: i haven't heard any pierre bensusan in ages, do you have a few of his tunes?
	3:40pm Gerry from Miami: Irene, this last set has been transcendent. Back in the 70s, none of my friends were buying Shawn Phillips or Nick Drake records. Didn't know what they were missing. The Traffic and Rundgren are two of my all-time favorites by those artists as well. Thanks for brightening my day. The whole show has been terrific.
	♥ 3:40pm Irene Trudel: You got it, annie! Haven't herd his music in a while either.
	♥ 3:42pm Webhamster Henry: That's some tuning, dadgad .
	3:43pm annie: oh, wonderful!!!
	3:44pm northguineahills: Ok, back. Interview went pretty well, considering I'm on 2 hours of sleep.
	3:46pm annie: break a leg, ngh, hope you get the job
	♥ 3:47pm StringOFperils: The very item. So sad sounding.
	♥ 3:48pm Irene Trudel: Hope it works out for you, NGH!
	3:49pm annie: oh, and how about the inimitable ralph mctell, "the gypsy"
	♥ 3:50pm Irene Trudel: Gerry, Shawn Phillips was an unexpected gem when I discovered his music a long time ago. Glad I have several of his albums.
	3:51pm Peter K.: At the risk of being extremely repetitive, this set is extraordinary! The segues ... the dreamy mood ... perfection!
	3:53pm northguineahills: danks, annie! Haven't heard this side of Fred Neil.
	3:56pm annie: :)
	3:57pm John from Haledon: What a great show, Irene! You're on fire in extra innings.
	♥ 3:57pm Irene Trudel: Couldn't find that McTell tune quickly enough. Hope this will suffice.
	4:00pm annie: just to hear the voice.... it's fine. play that other when you can, it's a great song
	♥ 4:04pm Irene Trudel: Here's a link to the Dangerous Minds article on the recently unearthed Traffic show from 1972 in Santa Monica: :dangerousminds.net...
	4:06pm Peter K.: Hey, don't knock endless reruns of "The Big Bang Theory"!
	4:10pm TDK60: Hello again Irene.
	♥ 4:14pm Irene Trudel: Glad you're enjoying the show, John. And welcome back TDK60!
	4:37pm TDK60: Marissa Nadler often awakes my wistfuls. Is this album a new one?
	4:42pm Gerry from Miami: Hope this doesn't ruin the vibe, but none other than the redoubtable Miley Cyrus has done a version of this Mazzy Star classic. Don't jump to conclusions---it's actually pretty good. You can find it on YouTube.
	4:43pm TDK60: Tom Rapp & P.B.S.!
	4:45pm Peter K.: Miley Cyrus is a tremendous singer. The only conclusion I'm apt to jump to when I learn that she's covered a song is that her version is probably really good.
	♥ 4:47pm Irene Trudel: Yes, TDK60 . Marissa's new one is being released Oct. 29th. And I agree with Peter--Miley Cyrus is a great singer and I love her choice of covers.
	4:48pm TDK60: Don't even know who Miley Cyrus is. Hee.
	4:50pm Peter K.: Five straight hours of Irene Trudel dreaminess -- what a blessing! Thank you, thank you, thank you. When you sign off, get some rest. If you want a back rub first, just say the word.
	♥ 4:52pm Irene Trudel: You're the sweetest, Peter!
	4:53pm Gerry from Miami: Damn, Irene, playing all these artists I could never get my friends to listen to. Pearls Before Swine is another band that slipped through the cracks. Glad you have such great taste. That's WFMU's premier contribution, in my opinion---the ability to lead its listeners to music that may have passed them by, but is so worthy of hearing. Again, many thanks. I actually skipped an appointment to stay home and listen to your extended show today. Lucky us who are here. Those who missed this program always have the Archive to investigate, and I heartily encourage them to do so.
	♥ 4:55pm Irene Trudel: Thanks so much, Gerry! That's high praise. Thanks to all of you for hanging in with me today. I'll be back next Monday with a regular-length show. Stay tuned for the Drummer stream.
	4:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Irene!
	4:56pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Thank you, Irene, stellar show
	4:57pm Marshland: Thanks Irene, always essential listening.
	4:58pm annie: what a treat to have you for so long a show.. many thanks... <3
	♥ 5:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
