	🥁 6:07pm david w: I miss my air-conditioned supermaket.
	🥁 6:08pm ranjit: I saw it at BAM in 2012!
	6:10pm ruth: I saw that one too Ranjit!
	🥁 6:13pm listener james from westwood: The Partch that refreshes!
	6:14pm Webhamster Henry: 103 W. Ventura St, Las Vegas Nevada....
	6:16pm Webhamster Henry: 118! ooops!
	🥁 6:16pm chresti: I never went through Barstow when I was hitchhiking in the early 70s.
	6:16pm Webhamster Henry: and East. No wonder nobody gave me a hand out.
	🥁 6:17pm david w: Or a ride!
	🥁 6:22pm ranjit: do dee do dee dee dee do
	🥁 6:22pm WR: I hitched from CA to Austin Texas once, cannot remember if I went through Barstow or just saw the name on a highway sign in passing. Quite a trip with several mini adventures but didn't see any graffiti like these messages.
	6:22pm Webhamster Henry: WHY IN HELL DID YOU COME, ANYWAY?
	🥁 6:24pm WR: A year or so later when I first heard Partch's Barstow, it resonated strongly.
	6:26pm Webhamster Henry: Barstow is one of Partch's more crowd pleasing tunes.
	🥁 6:29pm david w: It's charming, but Petaluma is pretty delicious (in spite of the weird edits that he and probably Danlee Mitchell used to cobble all these takes together).
	🥁 6:29pm WR: I didn't know until a few years ago that he had worked on a few different compositions that are theatrical in nature.
	🥁 6:31pm david w: Theater was integral to his work.
	6:34pm Hank: Haven't heard this in a while and its great to hear it now !
	6:37pm Hank: I hitched cross country and several interstate jaunts like Buffalo to Madison and always have an affection for these stories/comments.
	🥁 6:38pm david w: Next on the stream: Bodega Pop with Gary Sullivan 7-10pm EST: Looking Back on Looking Back in 2021: Tracks from some of our favorite reissues and historical compilations of 2021 wfmu.org... If You Lose Your Horse with Sam Segal 10-midnite
	6:38pm Webhamster Henry: You know the American Festival of Microtonal Music's Chromelodeon for their Partch pieces was a DX7 or Emu Proteus that I tuned.The DX is abut 10 feet from here.
	🥁 6:39pm david w: I lust for that Chromelodeon sound.
	6:42pm Webhamster Henry: Those implementations weren't super precise, in terms of timbre. I also have leave to make the Chromelodeon app from the Partch Estate. That would be able to do all three sets of reeds and other stuff you can't do with just a tuning table. And it would sound a lot more like a Chromelodeon.
	🥁 6:48pm WR: You mentioned about edits. Seems they were done with splicing tape, not studio mixing.
	6:51pm doctorjazz: Been great shopping/driving company, home now, thanks David and Ruth. Happy New Year all! (starting off pretty sucky, have to say, but STAY HEALTHY!!!!)
	🥁 6:52pm david w: Thanks djazz and all. Best (possible) end of 2021 to all!
	🥁 6:53pm david w: @WR, yes the razorblade was the golden tool, if you were careful.
	6:54pm Hank: And best possible beginnings for 2022 - we can hope !
	6:56pm heinseng: watermelon in easter hay and peaches en regalia. happy new year all!
	6:56pm doctorjazz: The razorblade was the ONLY tool before digital recording, asfaik.
	6:56pm spodiodi: thanks, David and Ruth! see you all next year!
	🥁 6:57pm david w: heinseng! I'd add Gumbo Variations.
	6:57pm doctorjazz: The Zappa alternates 8 and 10 beat cycles, is that 9/4? Not that theory-knowledgeable, wondering.
	6:58pm ruth: Thanks all! See you next week, and next year.
	🥁 6:58pm ranjit: thanks for the music and happy new year!
	🥁 6:58pm listener james from westwood: Safe passage into the new year, Ridgewoodians, and thanks for this lovely year of adventurous and rare sound!
	6:59pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks David & Ruth and 2022 to you!
