Listener comments!
	🚂 12:00pm Handy Haversack: David and all the Voyageurs! Very glad to be traveling with you today.
	🚂 12:01pm Carmichael: Heya David and riders. Hoping this train goes all the way to Nepal.
	🚂 12:01pm chresti: Hi David and Handy and Continentals!
	🚂 12:01pm Diana in Hungary: Greetings, David and all the riders!
	🚂 12:02pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, it does, but it's the local. Lots of stops along the way! Hi, chresti, Diana!
	12:02pm TDK60: Hallo David. Wish I was on a hike in the woods.
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I will guess Argentina again
	12:03pm David (in London): Au contraire Carmichael, this train is bound solely for Uruguay... Hello David and assembled travelling groovers!
	🚂 12:03pm chresti: I make land bridges in our front yard with flattened boxes.
	12:03pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Handy, Carmichael, Chresti, Diana, TDK60, Alex, David!
	🚂 12:04pm Carmichael: As long as we're in Nepal by 11:00 PDT. I have an appointment ...
	12:04pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. On the random road to Brazil, I hope. This train is bound for glory. Greets, DiL. Good pot in Uruguay, I gather,
	🚂 12:04pm YETI BOB: Running for the train as it leaves the station ... grabbing the handrail and jumping on!
	🚂 12:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey DD, fellow straphangers! Putting in my usual guesses: Estonia, Chad, Laos, Paraguay.
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Hello over there, Sem, Yeti Bob, Threemoons!
	🚂 12:04pm Diana in Hungary: I love this song already (Luna de Papel). Never heard Les Hurlements d'Leo before, at least I don't think so.
	🚂 12:05pm chresti: Davidkins, I beg to differ as Paraguay is where we're headed.
	🚂 12:05pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, we were going to have a softball practice in Midtown today, but have called it off on account of soggy. Will let you know if we get another one scheduled. Alex. David (iL), Sem, YB, 3Moons, hey there! David (iL), our friends are coming back from Edinburgh today for a visit, but they allowed themselves only an hour to change planes at Heathrow, and the flight out of EDI is already late ...
	12:05pm TDK60: My one selection is Suriname.
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: My Random Road Random Guess Generator sez ... Papua New Guinea!
	12:07pm TDK60: Handy, okay, sometime soon.
	🚂 12:08pm Michael 98145: la estación correcta
	12:08pm fred: I'm just about to leave for a dance show, but I'm so happy to see Handy on board I had to celebrate with you all
	🚂 12:09pm Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez. fred. That's so kind of you. I am very glad to be back in a state where I can actually be here! Enjoy the show!
	12:09pm TDK60: Still on edge. Will the Roud tune have two names or three? Four? or, gasp! one?
	12:10pm David Dichelle: Hola Michael and Fred - and enjoy your dance show, Fred!
	🚂 12:11pm Michael 98145: Heathrow is just the worst
	🚂 12:12pm Diana in Hungary: I am guessing Cabo Verde.
	🚂 12:13pm Handy Haversack: I like all the prop bets that get spawned on this show.
	12:13pm fred: It's Hiroaki Umeda, last show I saw wasn't great, so I'm optimistic
	🚂 12:14pm Carmichael: Atr Burbank airport, you still get off the plane down a ladder to the tarmac. Then just go to the carrental place and you're done.
	🚂 12:14pm YETI BOB: My randomizer spat out "Åland Islands". Is that valid?
	🚂 12:16pm Michael 98145: Happy you are feeling better (?) @Handy
	12:16pm TDK60: Yeti, see List of ISO 3166 country codes.
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: (I think this has come up before .... it was Haversack's pick on 1/6/22)
	12:16pm David Dichelle: I am cautiously hopeful about Åland.
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: TDK60: List of ISO3166 country codes is the input to my randomizer program!
	🚂 12:17pm YETI BOB: The "valid" question means: Is it big enough to have enough music to fill an hour?
	12:17pm zzz: funny @YETI BOB, just yesterday i was listening to this beautiful albm: Recordings from the Åland Islands by Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer intlanthem.bandcamp.com...
	🚂 12:17pm Handy Haversack: YB: DD didn't rule it out, I think, when I guessed it before. I join him in cautious optimism, esp. with this update from zzz!
	🚂 12:18pm YETI BOB: zzz: Huge fan of International Anthem!
	12:18pm Sem: Thx for today's Steeleye Span fix. Where else but here?
	12:18pm David Dichelle: Thanks for the recommendation, zzz!
	🚂 12:18pm Handy Haversack: Michael: MUCH better, thanks. Fever is gone. Food seems to be staying put internally for appropriate intervals again. Still a bit shaky, but much improved in body and spirit.
	🚂 12:18pm Diana in Hungary: This Steeleye Span version is fantastic.
	12:19pm David Dichelle: Sem: The entire series is just an elaborate excuse to play more Steeleye.
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: This one is a double dip! David played it in November to celebrate Rick Kemp!
	12:20pm Sem: Devious and beyond reproach, DD. +++
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: "All A-Roud My Hat ..." 🤑
	🚂 12:21pm YETI BOB: zzz: That's IA's 53rd release (IARC0053), I probably have at least half of 'em
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Hi David and Subway Riders!
	12:21pm zzz: such a great label
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Hello, Dr. J.!
	🚂 12:22pm YETI BOB: (Makaya McCraven, Jeff Parker, Rob Mazurek, Dos Santos... yeah)
	🚂 12:22pm YETI BOB: for a while they were releasing only Chicago music, but they've really expanded lately.
	12:23pm zzz: yes all those! Ben Lamar Gay's latest Open Arms to Open Us was really special too
	🚂 12:24pm Michael 98145: ( the bandcamp "entity" has been changed to Bandcamp LLC ) of course
	🚂 12:25pm Michael 98145: good health, All
	🚂 12:25pm Bas NL: Hello David! Subway dwellers!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Bas!
	12:26pm Webhamster Henry: Hi intercontinental subway riders!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: And hello, Henry!
	🚂 12:26pm chris in the redwoods: greetings, David and fellow riders.
	12:26pm David Dichelle: Good morning, Chris!
	12:26pm Sem: Bas! Howdee.
	12:27pm Webhamster Henry: Schwartzfahren verboten! <<, should be posted during the Marathon.
	🚂 12:27pm Bas NL: Hi Sem!
	🚂 12:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Bas, Henry, Chris! That station yielded a crop of great riders for the Subway!
	🚂 12:27pm Bas NL: Hello Handy!
	🚂 12:28pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy! happy to see you up and about again. huzzah!
	🚂 12:30pm YETI BOB: zzz: I like both of the Lamar Gay LPs. Also, Jamie Branch, and recently-signed Alabaster de Plume. Yeah, IA is killing it right now.
	12:30pm Webhamster Henry: I'm going with Ecuador today -- My band plays with Andes Manta, a group of four Ecuadorian brothers here in the Mid Hudson Valley.
	12:31pm Webhamster Henry: Or a really short set from Heligoland.
	🚂 12:31pm dutchtheo: Hello from the lowlands, David and metro dwellers, RR to Finland...
	🚂 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...okay - I'm all Interneted Up now with my own WiFiz & smartphone - gotta tear myself from this Hendrix documentary I could actually see anytime & do what Jimi would do - hear something new to me...
	12:32pm Webhamster Henry: I actually made a little bit of music for Elgaland-Vargaland. soundcloud.com...
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Greetings Theo of the Lowlands - and Revolution Rabbit!
	12:33pm northguineahills: of course Henry did (are you also a citizen?
	🚂 12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buzzed to BeeHear.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: And NGH!
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Henry: Helgoland, interesting choice...
	🚂 12:34pm Brian in UK: Hello David & mainland dwellers.
	12:35pm David Dichelle: Hello, Brian on the island!
	12:36pm wenzo toad (it it’s): Bonjour
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: @ngh my friend Mike Bullock is involved in Elgaland-Vargaland, and solicited some national music for it.
	🚂 12:41pm Brian in UK: David, only six years since we voted to take back control.
	12:41pm wenzo toad (it it’s): agadez… where 9/10 children play guitar… and laugh while that poor tenth child kicks a soccer ball around in the street all alone
	12:42pm northguineahills: just pouring rain and wind w/ thunder and a severe t-storm warning down here. hope to maintain power.
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Salut, wenzo toad!
	🚂 12:42pm Michael 98145: @ngh, still in Florida ?
	🚂 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary was all about Nigeria just last night on BodegaPop.
	12:43pm David in California: Hello David D. et tout le monde. I'll guess France again.
	12:44pm David Dichelle: Welcome, David in C.!
	🚂 12:44pm Diana in Hungary: Another musician I first heard here and want to listen to more: Mohamed Karzo. "C'est La Vie" is beautifully melancholic and uplifting.
	12:45pm Sem: Technically, BiUK, Nova Scotia is a peninsula, but has an island mentality reflecting it's sceptr'd isle roots.
	🚂 12:46pm Brian in UK: Sem, in our case, small island, small mentality.
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Diana: This may be the only recording of his available, if I didn't miss something.
	🚂 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Which is your island, Brian?
	🚂 12:49pm chris in the redwoods: this is reminding me i have that new Mdou Moctar album to hear, yet... so much musics, lucky little ears.
	12:49pm Sem: We didn't fall all that far from the tree, in truth.
	🚂 12:50pm Brian in UK: Handy, Lying Bastard Politicians Enclave.
	🚂 12:51pm Diana in Hungary: I have to get off the train for a Zoom call, will reboard afterwards. David, it looks like a few more recordings are available: www.okayafrica.com...
	🚂 12:51pm Michael 98145: @Brian, we have -states- like that
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Thanks for the link, Diana! And see you later...
	🚂 12:52pm Bas NL: This monday i visited Mdou Moctar in concert! Great show!
	🚂 12:52pm Brian in UK: First time I met Stanley was at Cafe Oto for a Mdou Moctar lesson.
	🚂 12:52pm Handy Haversack: Ah, a global island, Brian!
	🚂 12:52pm chris in the redwoods: that describes quite a swath of Earth, Brian.
	🚂 12:53pm chris in the redwoods: nice, Bas!
	12:53pm Phillippe: Good day, all! Sticking with Brazil/Brasil
	🚂 12:53pm Brian in UK: I know folks, desparately sad eh?
	12:53pm Sem: Great envy, Bas.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: A very good day to you as well, Phillippe!
	🚂 12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So good. Saw the Tuvan trio Alash last night for Free a block away from me here. Wonderful.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Bas: Sounds great indeed!
	🚂 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic, Bas! We saw them in March. Great show. Were there a ton of younger people there when you saw them? There sure were in Brooklyn, which is great. I just have no idea how they found them. Then again, without WFMU, I have no idea how anyone finds anything.
	🚂 12:55pm Brian in UK: Bas NL. What impressed me most about Mdou Moctar was the fact that he looked at the frets about three times during the whole show.
	🚂 12:56pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Phillippe! ah, great to hear, RevRab!
	🚂 12:57pm Brian in UK: Sem, is that avatar you in the hot tub?
	🚂 12:57pm chresti: Love this Bebey.
	🚂 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The secret to Rawk Gittar is making the hard stuff look easy ...& the easy stuff look hard'... Be that as it may, I don't think looking @ the Gittar when playing is necessarily what it's about - but I'd kind of be disappointed if seeing Moctar didn't sort of instill awe into me, @ any rate...
	🚂 1:00pm βrian: He don't fret none.
	1:01pm Sem: Yes, Brian, filled w/ imported viscid Vietnamese swamp water. Sprung for some embellishments: customized slime, arcing street lamp, and Hendrix playing "If 6 were 9" on repeat.
	🚂 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'even the Jungle wanted him dead ...& that's who he really took orders from'...
	🚂 1:02pm Michael 98145: i love the smell of the subway in the morning
	🚂 1:02pm Bas NL: Yes Handy, a very young public indeed; but also a lot of veteran music lovers.
	🚂 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Never get off of the boat!
	🚂 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...surely it was TheEnd by the doors in that scene?...
	1:03pm Sem: Michael 98145: you truly are one among the very very few. I salute you,
	🚂 1:03pm Michael 98145: ( has the stream been glitching, or is that just the GRU again? )
	1:04pm Sem: Handy: once an editor...
	1:04pm David Dichelle: Yes, the stream is being bumpy at the moment, hopefully it will pass soon.
	🚂 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DrummerStream one thing or another all week...
	🚂 1:05pm chresti: We were in a tunnel?
	🚂 1:05pm Brian in UK: Rev, sad to say, I am not a big fan of Rawk Gittar. But if the instrument is played by an African it takes on a whole new sound, to me at least.
	🚂 1:08pm Brian in UK: chresti, nice one.
	🚂 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thrilled with & beguiled by African Gittarists right now.
	1:11pm Phillippe: hey chris!
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: RevRab: My bass teacher taught me to stop looking at my hands. "How are you going to read the music if you're looking at your hand?"
	🚂 1:12pm YETI BOB: (he also taught me how to read music in the bass clef)
	🚂 1:13pm chresti: Brian in UK, one of the last times I was in the UK, we went through the recently completed "chunnel" train to Calais.
	1:13pm David (in London): My shoegazing teacher held no truck with hands or staves - "Shoes, laddie, shoes! Eyes down!"
	1:14pm northguineahills: @David: snert!
	🚂 1:15pm YETI BOB: David wins the chat for today.
	🚂 1:15pm chresti: *on the train
	🚂 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I posit that playing Gittar in the dark on acid is one of the most exalted activities to which humankind may aspire... Yerknow - they say that Keyboards are Simple - because all the Notes are plainly laid out. But being a Gittarhead - the spacing of tones & semitones just throws me completely off. Gittar may sem complicated with a net of six strings & so many frets - but in fact it is about Shapes you can drop anywhere...
	1:21pm Phillippe: My guitar instructor suggested a woodwind instrument for me.
	🚂 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'You can't put a Capo on a piano.' - John Mayer (of all people)...
	🚂 1:22pm Handy Haversack: My dulcimer instructor suggested I just stop.
	🚂 1:23pm YETI BOB: RR: It's a funny thing, sometimes when I'm tripping I can play really well (or at least I feel like I can), other times I can't manage it AT ALL.
	1:24pm Webhamster Henry: @Handy I was looking up dulcimers today, to see about some new hammers.
	🚂 1:24pm Brian in UK: chresti, it is the way to travel. We went to Paris for the day a while back. So easy.
	1:24pm northguineahills: funny, I've never played music w/ psychedelics before, it just never came up (had plenty of chances.
	1:25pm Stanley: Hi Driver David. I just got on. I was in a band once. I was on skins.
	1:25pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Stanley!
	1:26pm northguineahills: ok, off into the lightning I go, chirrups, y'all!
	1:26pm David (in London): Handy, don't listen to the orthodox musical squares. Get on that dulcimer and kick out the jams!
	🚂 1:26pm Handy Haversack: Never seen anyone that upset while listening to "Greensleeves."
	🚂 1:26pm chris in the redwoods: see ya, ngh! hey, David (iL)!
	1:27pm David Dichelle: Stay safe out there, NGH!
	1:27pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. I had no idea.
	🚂 1:27pm Handy Haversack: OK, I have had an aspirational but legit meal. Now we hope. Aye, Stanley.
	🚂 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ironically - I took Sax Lessons as a kid for some time ...but instead of Practicing, went home & played Gittar by Ear. That's me all over. So maybe my woodwind instructor might've suggest actually that I start... Turns out things in cannabis are chemically related to endogenous molecules in our brains that help us forget. Like - duh. I posit that the Psychedelic Experience is a very specialized kind of Forgetting. Very good for new things & getting out of our way - Creatively, Spiritually - what have you... Not good for Rote learning necvessarily...
	🚂 1:28pm Carmichael: Nigel Tufnel invented the amp capo.
	1:28pm David in California: I enjoyed learning to play the ukulele, but found it hard to transition to the guitar because I was used to having a finger for each string.
	🚂 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas I regard any Strings not tuned like Gittar as an attempt to frustrate me personally...
	1:30pm David (in London): Chris, Stanley, Count Yeti Bob, Sem, Rev D and all the groovers not yet greeted. Ahoy.
	1:30pm Phillippe: It was marching band for me. I had transitioned to trombone at that point because its so much more obvious who is playing the wrong note that way. Wasn't my favorite thing. In fact, I can't stand parades since then.
	🚂 1:30pm YETI BOB: Ahoy mate!
	🚂 1:31pm Handy Haversack: David in California: did Big Uke convince you you couldn't grow more fingers?
	🚂 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One of the Three Best Gittarists Ever was of course Django Reinhardt - who had effectively only two fingers to fret with cause of a fire in his Gupsy caravan. True - he did have to alter his technique - but this just resulted in helping to pioneer Lead playing over Chords...
	🚂 1:31pm YETI BOB: RevRab: You're not a fan of alternate tunings, I take it? (I love em. Great way to get out of a rut)
	🚂 1:32pm Carmichael: As a big Richard Thompson fan, I notice he rarely uses standard tuning.
	1:32pm David in California: Handy, I didn't know that was possible for our species.
	🚂 1:33pm Handy Haversack: That's what they want us to think!
	🚂 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @YetiB: I suppose for me it's about having Gittars for the 1st time in my life that might actually stay in tune - so I'm reveling in a sense in being in Standard Tuning & staying there... Otherwise - this in fact is the thang about Gittar ! : There are not heavy Rules - because it wasn't in the Classical Tradition ! It was always a Gypsy - the village bike & everyone's had a ride...
	🚂 1:34pm chris in the redwoods: recently saw Warren Ellis and Nick Cave. at one point, Warren began tuning his violin. Nick, paused. turned to him and asked, "is that really going to help? what difference are you imagining?" hehehe.
	🚂 1:36pm YETI BOB: RevRab: I mostly go between Bentonia (DADFAD) and standard, occasionally experiment with something else.
	🚂 1:37pm Handy Haversack: Don't let anyone tell you Bentonia is just a dad fad, YB!
	🚂 1:38pm chresti: My brother collects electric guitars. He's a pretty good harmonica player.
	1:38pm Stanley: A wave from your handkerchief is not much to ask for.
	1:39pm David (in London): When Station Manager Ken was playing various versions of Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' yesterday, the Sonic Youth version was actually not that far from the original....except when Lee Ranaldo opened up and all six-string Hell broke loose. It's weird to think of him being under-rated, but I can't think of anyone who has pushed the guitar further into new territory over the past few decades than he has (whether you like SY or not). Massive tip o' the hat to Mr Lee.
	🚂 1:39pm Carmichael: Handy's on point today ... 🥴🤓
	🚂 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great interview to remind us that if we weren't in Sonic Youth - there kind of is no point... : aquariumdrunkard.com...
	1:39pm still b/p: Attention investment bankers: Pitching a can't miss start-up to let people order extra fingers online. "DigitAdd -- One click and we give you the finger!"
	🚂 1:39pm YETI BOB: HH: I should try BAGDAD tuning. And if I had 7 strings I could use CABBAGE
	1:39pm Hubig Pie: I have an adirondack chair in the same state of repair as the photo. Hello everyone
	🚂 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Ugh, had to turn off music for a work call. Did they hint at RR yet?
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Tuba alert (love tuba bass!)!
	1:40pm David Dichelle: Hello Hubig and still b/p!
	🚂 1:40pm Carmichael: I have 13 guitars currently, chresti.
	🚂 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well, saw Tuvans yesterday, so Tubans today makes it complete...
	1:40pm Will in Norman: tub-a or not tub-b
	1:40pm ChukAmok: @YB With eight string ABBAABBA would be possible. A simple ABBA could be done on a bass.
	1:40pm David (in London): Yo doctorjazz, Hubig, 3M.
	🚂 1:41pm YETI BOB: (4 guitars, 2 basses)
	1:41pm David Dichelle: And greetings Will and Chuk - no hints yet (I don't think), Threemoons.
	🚂 1:41pm chresti: Ha still b/p! Hi Carmichael, I bet you can play them too!
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: ....and a 'yo' unto thee, David
	🚂 1:42pm YETI BOB: ((some of them gathering dust, I should play more))
	🚂 1:43pm chresti: I think Franco has 5 guitars.
	1:43pm David in California: With nine strings, ABBADABBA would be possible. And could be played on your honeymoon.
	🚂 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A few Gittars - a Bass ...an alto sax, a violin, a handful of harmonicas ...a silver flute & various wooden & plastic ones ...a digital tamboura ...a few pieces of a drumset (no Bass & only one cymbal) ...various handrums...
	🚂 1:44pm Diana in Hungary: I see that I missed Žalvarinis! I'll have to listen to "Krapas" later. Anyway, it was a good Zoom call, and it's good to be back.
	1:44pm TDK60: Yo, David in London, NE. Interesting thoughts on Lee R.
	1:44pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Diana!
	🚂 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more than seven strings & that's a Harp imho...
	1:44pm doctorjazz: I've got 3 guitars (that I rarely pick up...) Richard Thompson is a master of alternate runnings...
	🚂 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RT is a Master of a few damn things...
	🚂 1:45pm chresti: Sounds like we've got a band of many guitars.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Hubig. Snow stop?
	🚂 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the usual: Okay ...we got six Gittarists ...anybody wanna play Bass or Drums or Sing ?? ...Anybody - ??...
	1:48pm Hubig Pie: Jah , Handy. Just got done with shovelin' chores. Looks to be about 8 inches. Spring is a mess around here. Instrument inventory- one classical guitar, 1 highland pipe set, 1 lowland Northumbrian small pipe set.
	🚂 1:49pm Bas NL: Ready for my quick detour home! I'm playing Togo for the RR today!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: I played bass badly in high school, also drums on a wooden chair in summer camp, think I'm your guy...
	🚂 1:51pm chresti: 2 clarinets, 2 organs...
	🚂 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bass ! Hold the root note & stay on beat. You're in...
	1:52pm Stanley: My pal is in Orkestra del Sol
	1:52pm Hubig Pie: Putting in a late guess for Tunisia
	1:52pm Phillippe: two clarinets, a flute, a trombone, and my son has 3 guitars and a bass. We just look at them at this point.
	🚂 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Djibouti! Sweet!
	🚂 1:53pm YETI BOB: RevRab: Sure, but that's not very interesting to me. To make bass interesting, you have to play the "countermelody". (And to be a really great bassist, you have to have better rhythm than I do!)
	1:53pm Sem: Next up, Zappa.
	1:54pm Webhamster Henry: Another pin in the map!
	1:54pm Phillippe: Wasn't there a character in Buckaroo Bonzai with a similar name?
	1:54pm Stanley: Sheik it Sem
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I remember "learning" when I was a kid that in a local language, "Djibouti" meant "my casserole," but that hardly seems credible.
	1:55pm Sem: en.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @YB: Yes - conversely, Bass is the nexus twixt Rhythm & the Harmonic element. A foot in each. Actually more complicated in its way.
	1:55pm ChukAmok: Three guitars (2 six, one 12), bass, drums, an old Moog, a less-elderly theremin, a stoop sale trombone, and a heavy Casio that I found on the street in BedStuy long ago and still kind of works. Oh, and an electric kazoo.
	🚂 1:57pm Handy Haversack: "The country is named for its capital, the City of Djibouti. The etymology of the name is disputed. Several theories and legends exist regarding its origin, varying based on ethnicity. One theory derives it from the Afar word gabouti, meaning "plate", possibly referring to the geographical features of the area.[13] Another connects it to gabood, meaning "upland/plateau".[14] Djibouti could also mean "Land of Tehuti" or "Land of Thoth (Egyptian: Djehuti/ Djehuty)", after the Egyptian Moon God."
	1:57pm still b/p: Hiya chresti and conductor and passengers. Watched a stand-up bass player a few times recently and never fail -- feeling like a musical rube -- to be impressed by the simple practiced familiarity that gets to the accuracy with NOOOO frets. If there are many guitarists here, you could play like the wide line of young guitarists who played "folk" Catholic masses at the front of the church when I was in elementary school. Chording their youthful hearts out.
	1:57pm Phillippe: I also have an old tascam without cables or adapter for recording purposes
	1:57pm zzz: looking forward to the Djibouti tunes, already digging this
	1:58pm ChukAmok: Oh, and course hello David! How rude of me not have responded already. Glad to be back!
	1:58pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Chuk!
	2:02pm David (in London): Right, gotta make like a banana now and split. Thanks David. Toodles groovers!
	2:03pm TDK60: I try to play acoustic 6-string guitar, based on singing songs rather than much soloing. Played electric bass guitar in bands. Open mikes mosytly where it's usually two songs or 10 minutes tops. Sometimes 8 or 9 min.
	🚂 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Late DiL !
	🚂 2:03pm chris in the redwoods: night, David (iL).
	🚂 2:03pm Handy Haversack: See youse, David.
	2:04pm David Dichelle: Have a good evening, David!
	🚂 2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I otoh have fairly severe Lead Gittarist Disease - characterized by being driven ADD squirrely insane by mere strumming &/or learning songs...
	2:05pm TDK60: Dig the Djibouti reggae-like beat. And I like the words for hello and peace.
	🚂 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho I have had periods of deep dives into the BobDylan Songbook w/ an acoustic @ one or two points in life when it was strictly necessary for emotional survival...
	🚂 2:08pm Michael 98145: We will be -for- Mars -after- they sign the peace treaties
	🚂 2:08pm chris in the redwoods: very nice sounds, Djibouti.
	🚂 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...first, we require that ♂︎Mars must rescind Martial Law ...a challenge to their pride, as it's literally named after them...
	🚂 2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always fascinating to hear the Arabic/African interface in this region (widely speaking) of the World.
	🚂 2:14pm Brian in UK: I have got to grade six on the pink oboe. Still practicing!
	🚂 2:14pm YETI BOB: still b/p: it is impressive, but it's actually not as hard as it looks, your hands/arms get used to what each position feels like. and if you're listening closely to yourself, you can make small corrections if you're off.
	🚂 2:15pm YETI BOB: still b/p: however I get the exact same feeling watching trombone players - how do they DO that?!
	🚂 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I imagine any double reed like the oboe is somewhat challenging upfront ...& yerknow, easy to forget that for any Woodwind, first thing you need is Lungs...
	2:20pm still b/p: Deals made with the devil. Alex says, "Come with Uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones."
	🚂 2:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot violin would be enuff like gittar to glve me an In. Rather - their contrasts are as prominent I feel... As Gittarist - one hopes for as much finger span as possible. Violin is so tiny - it is instead more like Typing: Lock yer hand in place & land them fingers exactly in the right spot. Stand Up Bass may differ - I haven't tried it ! Also - violin tuned opposite to gittar: GDAE... Where Bass is EADG like gittar too...
	🚂 2:21pm Michael 98145: No Sheik Yerbouti comments ?
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: We were all waiting for you, Michael98145
	🚂 2:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Michael 98145 I was kind of waiting for one also....
	🚂 2:24pm chris in the redwoods: mandolin is tuned like a violin, i believe, RevRab.
	🚂 2:24pm YETI BOB: RevRab: Yeah, my paws are too big for the fiddle, but the bass suits me fine. The notes are pretty far apart at the bottom, but as you go up the neck they get closer. You can actually tune it either in 5ths (classical) or 4ths (jazz/blues/rock). One time I asked my teacher if I should try tuning in 5ths, he said "Yeah you can try that if you want, but then you'll have to find a new teacher.". R. Fripp's "New Standard Tuning" is in 5ths, I believe.
	🚂 2:25pm Handy Haversack: I hope you Greensleevesed the hell out of him, YB!
	🚂 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandolin is essentially a flat violin with frets.
	🚂 2:26pm Handy Haversack: (Also, my friends JUST made the flight in London.)
	🚂 2:26pm YETI BOB: Rev: Never thought of violin tuning as "opposite" to guitar, since the notes are still going up... Interesting way to look at it.
	🚂 2:27pm YETI BOB: HH: If by "Greensleeved him" you mean made him tell me to give up the instrument, no, it wasn't like that. He was a very positive and encouraging teacher. I called him by "bass guru".
	🚂 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Course - no Chords on violin anyhow - as it's arched... Two notes @ once maybe (double stops)...
	🚂 2:29pm Bas NL: Djibouti! Nice! And hello again!
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: I just meant "played 'Greensleeves'"!
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Hello again, Bas!
	2:30pm Webhamster Henry: @RR63 there's a quick shot in "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" of a guy strumming a violin like a mandolin. I was very impressed!
	🚂 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also if you mix picking finger grease with their rosin, violinists declare Marital Law...
	🚂 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...violin violence is surprisingly inelegant...
	🚂 2:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: But...strumming a violin is VERBOTEN! www.openculture.com...
	2:33pm doctorjazz: RRN63, just like BB King, he never learned comping, chords, went to lead guitar and stayed there.
	🚂 2:33pm Michael 98145: "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" is a good representation of the PNW
	🚂 2:33pm chris in the redwoods: i love it when travel just works out. :) we were once nearly three hours late to a plane out of Milan, and still got on-board... only because of a metro issue in Milan itself.
	🚂 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: See? Martial Law.
	🚂 2:34pm Brian in UK: David, good work as ever.
	🚂 2:34pm Handy Haversack: Michael, one of K8's fave movies.
	🚂 2:34pm Michael 98145: @chris, we really enjoyed Milan. hope to return someday.
	2:34pm TDK60: Yes, great sounds, David. This sounds like the oud.
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Thanks Brian and TDK!
	🚂 2:35pm Michael 98145: @Handy, is K8 originally from here ...?
	🚂 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chatting away not meant to detract from the excellence of the playlist.
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Thanks RRN, feel free to listen and chat, of course.
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Michael, she was there 0-14, moved to MPLS, and then her parents moved back when she was in college. So it's definitely part of her origin story. Though we've both now lived in Greenpoint, BK, longer than anywhere else.
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:37pm TDK60: I haven't tried an oud. A friend has one.
	🚂 2:37pm Brian in UK: Michael 98145 @2.21. I refer you to Sem's comment at 1.53.
	2:38pm David Dichelle: It could be the Djiboudi.
	🚂 2:39pm Michael 98145: Of course! Bravo, Sem. @Handy, i've only ever lived on the Left Coast
	🚂 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I lived in SantaBarbara there was a great MiddleEastern ensemble featuring Oud - & sometimes bellydancers ! ...Not so much in NewHampshuh...
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: It was mentioned prominently in the "music of Djibouti" section, TDK60. We have a (Lebanese) friend who plays it. Michael, since K8 and I have been together, her parents have lived in Federal Way, Sand Point (Seattle), and now Green Lake (Seattle). They lived in the U District when she was a kid as her dad worked at UW. (Federal Way because he then worked at PLU.) (Not our PLU!)
	2:40pm still b/p: Went to look up something in the McCabe & Mrs. Miller script a few months ago, and then kept reading much of it. Same thing recently with Godfather script -- just checking a thing, and then reading large sections. Kinda irresistible rabbit hole, with shots specified and some further direction/intentions included. And comparing earlier Godfather version with more final shooting script.
	🚂 2:40pm Michael 98145: Lotsa UW connections here, too
	🚂 2:41pm Bas NL: Good vibe in this Noqo!
	2:41pm Funky16Corners: Testify! The Mamas and Papas Covered and Uncovered - coming up at 3PM ET - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/114224
	🚂 2:41pm Brian in UK: Sounds north of the Equator are more Arabic than South of the Equator. I know, a generalisation.
	🚂 2:41pm YETI BOB: The name "lute" is a corruption of "al oud". Interesting huh?
	🚂 2:42pm Michael 98145: Hard to believe The Godfather was FIFTY years ago. A house favorite.
	2:42pm Webhamster Henry: @still B/p is there line like "Mrs. M dives into the chicken like she hasn't eaten in a week"?
	🚂 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YB - it is !
	🚂 2:43pm Brian in UK: Long live the KORA.
	🚂 2:44pm Handy Haversack: I spent a lot of time with the Godfather script this fall and winter. That movie is hundreds of times better than the book.
	🚂 2:45pm YETI BOB: Brian in UK: I saw a 6-piece berimbau ensemble (!) last week, one of the pieces they played was called "Kora" (no actual koras were involved). The group is called Arcomusical, they are fantastic. Not a plug, I have no connection to the band, I just think they are great.
	2:46pm still b/p: Don't recall it, WH, but LOVE to think so.
	🚂 2:47pm YETI BOB: According to Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, "The Godfather" was not only a depiction of mob life, it actually provided a template for him and his associates to follow.
	🚂 2:47pm YETI BOB: (What a great movie. One of my ATF's)
	2:47pm Hubig Pie: The Godfather novel had a whole chapter devoted to Lucy Mancini's operation cuz only the well-hung Sonny could give her pleasure
	2:48pm Webhamster Henry: "I wouldn't want his mother to see him like this."
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: My point, Hubig. Yeah.
	🚂 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard about some popular podcast a lady interviews the old-time Mafiosos...
	2:51pm still b/p: Yeah, was just going to say I heard about mob guys with their own podcasts now, talking about old days, spinning things their own way, taking (verbal) shots at grudge targets.
	🚂 2:51pm Bas NL: We need more Reggae in native languages! Love this.
	🚂 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Art & Life interface there indeed interesting to consider...
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, David D!
	🚂 2:52pm Diana in Hungary: Another terrific show. Thank you, David!
	🚂 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ DD ~
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks David, enjoyed (as always)!
	2:52pm Phillippe: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:53pm Handy Haversack: My friends and I have an NFL pool every year, and I "run" it to the extent it requires any running. But I come up with a theme every year and tailor the weekly e-mails around it. This year, The Godfather. (Previous years: Withnail and I, The Big Lebowski, Calvin and Hobbes, Community, The Simpsons (twice), Bloom County, D&D). Ahhhh, no! It always reaches the terminal too soon. Great show, David! Really wonderful. Djibouti selections were fantastic. Keep faring forward, Voyageurs!
	🚂 2:53pm Brian in UK: Is it not wonderful that people all over the world feel the need to express themselves through music.
	🚂 2:53pm chris in the redwoods: yes, indeed. another fine show. thanks much, David! see you all around!
	2:54pm Hubig Pie: Enjoyed the Djibouti vibes
	🚂 2:54pm YETI BOB: That went fast, David! This must be the Schnellbahn. Thanks for another fun show.
	🚂 2:54pm Michael 98145: Every time we visited the Hopi mesas, there was reggae playing ...
	🚂 2:54pm Bas NL: Thanks David! Will definitely re-visit on the archives!
	🚂 2:55pm Brian in UK: YETI BOB I saw a band over here a few years ago with an American kora player. Think they were called the Kora Band. He went to Africa to study.
	🚂 2:55pm Diana in Hungary: Handy: Withnail and I! A favorite.
	🚂 2:55pm Yvang: Greetings David and voyageurs!
	2:56pm Phillippe: Hey Yvang! Don't take your coat off -- David is pulling in the station
	🚂 2:56pm dutchtheo: Thank you, David!
	2:57pm Sem: Booty completely sheiked, so thanks for that David. See you and all when we all get back on track together here on Continental Subway. Ciao, fellow travelers.
	🚂 2:57pm Handy Haversack: Diana, as a youth, I used to weep in butcher shops.
	2:57pm TDK60: I really appreciate the Rouds, the Random Roads. Danke, David.
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Here it is again: Testify! The Mamas and Papas Covered and Uncovered - coming up at 3PM ET - wfmu.org...
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone!
	2:59pm David Dichelle: And hello, Yvang!

Listener comments!
	🚂 12:00pm Handy Haversack: David and all the Voyageurs! Very glad to be traveling with you today.
	🚂 12:01pm Carmichael: Heya David and riders. Hoping this train goes all the way to Nepal.
	🚂 12:01pm chresti: Hi David and Handy and Continentals!
	🚂 12:01pm Diana in Hungary: Greetings, David and all the riders!
	🚂 12:02pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, it does, but it's the local. Lots of stops along the way! Hi, chresti, Diana!
	12:02pm TDK60: Hallo David. Wish I was on a hike in the woods.
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I will guess Argentina again
	12:03pm David (in London): Au contraire Carmichael, this train is bound solely for Uruguay... Hello David and assembled travelling groovers!
	🚂 12:03pm chresti: I make land bridges in our front yard with flattened boxes.
	12:03pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Handy, Carmichael, Chresti, Diana, TDK60, Alex, David!
	🚂 12:04pm Carmichael: As long as we're in Nepal by 11:00 PDT. I have an appointment ...
	12:04pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. On the random road to Brazil, I hope. This train is bound for glory. Greets, DiL. Good pot in Uruguay, I gather,
	🚂 12:04pm YETI BOB: Running for the train as it leaves the station ... grabbing the handrail and jumping on!
	🚂 12:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey DD, fellow straphangers! Putting in my usual guesses: Estonia, Chad, Laos, Paraguay.
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Hello over there, Sem, Yeti Bob, Threemoons!
	🚂 12:04pm Diana in Hungary: I love this song already (Luna de Papel). Never heard Les Hurlements d'Leo before, at least I don't think so.
	🚂 12:05pm chresti: Davidkins, I beg to differ as Paraguay is where we're headed.
	🚂 12:05pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, we were going to have a softball practice in Midtown today, but have called it off on account of soggy. Will let you know if we get another one scheduled. Alex. David (iL), Sem, YB, 3Moons, hey there! David (iL), our friends are coming back from Edinburgh today for a visit, but they allowed themselves only an hour to change planes at Heathrow, and the flight out of EDI is already late ...
	12:05pm TDK60: My one selection is Suriname.
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: My Random Road Random Guess Generator sez ... Papua New Guinea!
	12:07pm TDK60: Handy, okay, sometime soon.
	🚂 12:08pm Michael 98145: la estación correcta
	12:08pm fred: I'm just about to leave for a dance show, but I'm so happy to see Handy on board I had to celebrate with you all
	🚂 12:09pm Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez. fred. That's so kind of you. I am very glad to be back in a state where I can actually be here! Enjoy the show!
	12:09pm TDK60: Still on edge. Will the Roud tune have two names or three? Four? or, gasp! one?
	12:10pm David Dichelle: Hola Michael and Fred - and enjoy your dance show, Fred!
	🚂 12:11pm Michael 98145: Heathrow is just the worst
	🚂 12:12pm Diana in Hungary: I am guessing Cabo Verde.
	🚂 12:13pm Handy Haversack: I like all the prop bets that get spawned on this show.
	12:13pm fred: It's Hiroaki Umeda, last show I saw wasn't great, so I'm optimistic
	🚂 12:14pm Carmichael: Atr Burbank airport, you still get off the plane down a ladder to the tarmac. Then just go to the carrental place and you're done.
	🚂 12:14pm YETI BOB: My randomizer spat out "Åland Islands". Is that valid?
	🚂 12:16pm Michael 98145: Happy you are feeling better (?) @Handy
	12:16pm TDK60: Yeti, see List of ISO 3166 country codes.
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: (I think this has come up before .... it was Haversack's pick on 1/6/22)
	12:16pm David Dichelle: I am cautiously hopeful about Åland.
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: TDK60: List of ISO3166 country codes is the input to my randomizer program!
	🚂 12:17pm YETI BOB: The "valid" question means: Is it big enough to have enough music to fill an hour?
	12:17pm zzz: funny @YETI BOB, just yesterday i was listening to this beautiful albm: Recordings from the Åland Islands by Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer intlanthem.bandcamp.com...
	🚂 12:17pm Handy Haversack: YB: DD didn't rule it out, I think, when I guessed it before. I join him in cautious optimism, esp. with this update from zzz!
	🚂 12:18pm YETI BOB: zzz: Huge fan of International Anthem!
	12:18pm Sem: Thx for today's Steeleye Span fix. Where else but here?
	12:18pm David Dichelle: Thanks for the recommendation, zzz!
	🚂 12:18pm Handy Haversack: Michael: MUCH better, thanks. Fever is gone. Food seems to be staying put internally for appropriate intervals again. Still a bit shaky, but much improved in body and spirit.
	🚂 12:18pm Diana in Hungary: This Steeleye Span version is fantastic.
	12:19pm David Dichelle: Sem: The entire series is just an elaborate excuse to play more Steeleye.
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: This one is a double dip! David played it in November to celebrate Rick Kemp!
	12:20pm Sem: Devious and beyond reproach, DD. +++
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: "All A-Roud My Hat ..." 🤑
	🚂 12:21pm YETI BOB: zzz: That's IA's 53rd release (IARC0053), I probably have at least half of 'em

	🚂 12:22pm YETI BOB: for a while they were releasing only Chicago music, but they've really expanded lately.
	12:23pm zzz: yes all those! Ben Lamar Gay's latest Open Arms to Open Us was really special too

	12:33pm northguineahills: of course Henry did (are you also a citizen?
	🚂 12:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buzzed to BeeHear.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: And NGH!
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Henry: Helgoland, interesting choice...
	🚂 12:34pm Brian in UK: Hello David & mainland dwellers.
	12:35pm David Dichelle: Hello, Brian on the island!
	12:36pm wenzo toad (it it’s): Bonjour
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: @ngh my friend Mike Bullock is involved in Elgaland-Vargaland, and solicited some national music for it.
	🚂 12:41pm Brian in UK: David, only six years since we voted to take back control.
	12:41pm wenzo toad (it it’s): agadez… where 9/10 children play guitar… and laugh while that poor tenth child kicks a soccer ball around in the street all alone
	12:42pm northguineahills: just pouring rain and wind w/ thunder and a severe t-storm warning down here. hope to maintain power.
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Salut, wenzo toad!
	🚂 12:42pm Michael 98145: @ngh, still in Florida ?
	🚂 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary was all about Nigeria just last night on BodegaPop.
	12:43pm David in California: Hello David D. et tout le monde. I'll guess France again.
	12:44pm David Dichelle: Welcome, David in C.!
	🚂 12:44pm Diana in Hungary: Another musician I first heard here and want to listen to more: Mohamed Karzo. "C'est La Vie" is beautifully melancholic and uplifting.
	12:45pm Sem: Technically, BiUK, Nova Scotia is a peninsula, but has an island mentality reflecting it's sceptr'd isle roots.
	🚂 12:46pm Brian in UK: Sem, in our case, small island, small mentality.
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Diana: This may be the only recording of his available, if I didn't miss something.
	🚂 12:47pm Handy Haversack: Which is your island, Brian?
	🚂 12:49pm chris in the redwoods: this is reminding me i have that new Mdou Moctar album to hear, yet... so much musics, lucky little ears.
	12:49pm Sem: We didn't fall all that far from the tree, in truth.
	🚂 12:50pm Brian in UK: Handy, Lying Bastard Politicians Enclave.
	🚂 12:51pm Diana in Hungary: I have to get off the train for a Zoom call, will reboard afterwards. David, it looks like a few more recordings are available: www.okayafrica.com...
	🚂 12:51pm Michael 98145: @Brian, we have -states- like that
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Thanks for the link, Diana! And see you later...
	🚂 12:52pm Bas NL: This monday i visited Mdou Moctar in concert! Great show!
	🚂 12:52pm Brian in UK: First time I met Stanley was at Cafe Oto for a Mdou Moctar lesson.
	🚂 12:52pm Handy Haversack: Ah, a global island, Brian!
	🚂 12:52pm chris in the redwoods: that describes quite a swath of Earth, Brian.
	🚂 12:53pm chris in the redwoods: nice, Bas!
	12:53pm Phillippe: Good day, all! Sticking with Brazil/Brasil
	🚂 12:53pm Brian in UK: I know folks, desparately sad eh?
	12:53pm Sem: Great envy, Bas.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: A very good day to you as well, Phillippe!
	🚂 12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So good. Saw the Tuvan trio Alash last night for Free a block away from me here. Wonderful.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Bas: Sounds great indeed!
	🚂 12:54pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic, Bas! We saw them in March. Great show. Were there a ton of younger people there when you saw them? There sure were in Brooklyn, which is great. I just have no idea how they found them. Then again, without WFMU, I have no idea how anyone finds anything.
	🚂 12:55pm Brian in UK: Bas NL. What impressed me most about Mdou Moctar was the fact that he looked at the frets about three times during the whole show.
	🚂 12:56pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Phillippe! ah, great to hear, RevRab!
	🚂 12:57pm Brian in UK: Sem, is that avatar you in the hot tub?
	🚂 12:57pm chresti: Love this Bebey.
	🚂 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The secret to Rawk Gittar is making the hard stuff look easy ...& the easy stuff look hard'... Be that as it may, I don't think looking @ the Gittar when playing is necessarily what it's about - but I'd kind of be disappointed if seeing Moctar didn't sort of instill awe into me, @ any rate...
	🚂 1:00pm βrian: He don't fret none.
	1:01pm Sem: Yes, Brian, filled w/ imported viscid Vietnamese swamp water. Sprung for some embellishments: customized slime, arcing street lamp, and Hendrix playing "If 6 were 9" on repeat.
	🚂 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'even the Jungle wanted him dead ...& that's who he really took orders from'...
	🚂 1:02pm Michael 98145: i love the smell of the subway in the morning
	🚂 1:02pm Bas NL: Yes Handy, a very young public indeed; but also a lot of veteran music lovers.
	🚂 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Never get off of the boat!
	🚂 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...surely it was TheEnd by the doors in that scene?...
	1:03pm Sem: Michael 98145: you truly are one among the very very few. I salute you,
	🚂 1:03pm Michael 98145: ( has the stream been glitching, or is that just the GRU again? )
	1:04pm Sem: Handy: once an editor...
	1:04pm David Dichelle: Yes, the stream is being bumpy at the moment, hopefully it will pass soon.
	🚂 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DrummerStream one thing or another all week...
	🚂 1:05pm chresti: We were in a tunnel?
	🚂 1:05pm Brian in UK: Rev, sad to say, I am not a big fan of Rawk Gittar. But if the instrument is played by an African it takes on a whole new sound, to me at least.
	🚂 1:08pm Brian in UK: chresti, nice one.
	🚂 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thrilled with & beguiled by African Gittarists right now.
	1:11pm Phillippe: hey chris!
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: RevRab: My bass teacher taught me to stop looking at my hands. "How are you going to read the music if you're looking at your hand?"
	🚂 1:12pm YETI BOB: (he also taught me how to read music in the bass clef)
	🚂 1:13pm chresti: Brian in UK, one of the last times I was in the UK, we went through the recently completed "chunnel" train to Calais.
	1:13pm David (in London): My shoegazing teacher held no truck with hands or staves - "Shoes, laddie, shoes! Eyes down!"
	1:14pm northguineahills: @David: snert!
	🚂 1:15pm YETI BOB: David wins the chat for today.
	🚂 1:15pm chresti: *on the train
	🚂 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I posit that playing Gittar in the dark on acid is one of the most exalted activities to which humankind may aspire... Yerknow - they say that Keyboards are Simple - because all the Notes are plainly laid out. But being a Gittarhead - the spacing of tones & semitones just throws me completely off. Gittar may sem complicated with a net of six strings & so many frets - but in fact it is about Shapes you can drop anywhere...
	1:21pm Phillippe: My guitar instructor suggested a woodwind instrument for me.
	🚂 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'You can't put a Capo on a piano.' - John Mayer (of all people)...
	🚂 1:22pm Handy Haversack: My dulcimer instructor suggested I just stop.
	🚂 1:23pm YETI BOB: RR: It's a funny thing, sometimes when I'm tripping I can play really well (or at least I feel like I can), other times I can't manage it AT ALL.
	1:24pm Webhamster Henry: @Handy I was looking up dulcimers today, to see about some new hammers.
	🚂 1:24pm Brian in UK: chresti, it is the way to travel. We went to Paris for the day a while back. So easy.
	1:24pm northguineahills: funny, I've never played music w/ psychedelics before, it just never came up (had plenty of chances.
	1:25pm Stanley: Hi Driver David. I just got on. I was in a band once. I was on skins.
	1:25pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, Stanley!
	1:26pm northguineahills: ok, off into the lightning I go, chirrups, y'all!
	1:26pm David (in London): Handy, don't listen to the orthodox musical squares. Get on that dulcimer and kick out the jams!
	🚂 1:26pm Handy Haversack: Never seen anyone that upset while listening to "Greensleeves."
	🚂 1:26pm chris in the redwoods: see ya, ngh! hey, David (iL)!
	1:27pm David Dichelle: Stay safe out there, NGH!
	1:27pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. I had no idea.
	🚂 1:27pm Handy Haversack: OK, I have had an aspirational but legit meal. Now we hope. Aye, Stanley.
	🚂 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ironically - I took Sax Lessons as a kid for some time ...but instead of Practicing, went home & played Gittar by Ear. That's me all over. So maybe my woodwind instructor might've suggest actually that I start... Turns out things in cannabis are chemically related to endogenous molecules in our brains that help us forget. Like - duh. I posit that the Psychedelic Experience is a very specialized kind of Forgetting. Very good for new things & getting out of our way - Creatively, Spiritually - what have you... Not good for Rote learning necvessarily...
	🚂 1:28pm Carmichael: Nigel Tufnel invented the amp capo.
	1:28pm David in California: I enjoyed learning to play the ukulele, but found it hard to transition to the guitar because I was used to having a finger for each string.
	🚂 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas I regard any Strings not tuned like Gittar as an attempt to frustrate me personally...
	1:30pm David (in London): Chris, Stanley, Count Yeti Bob, Sem, Rev D and all the groovers not yet greeted. Ahoy.
	1:30pm Phillippe: It was marching band for me. I had transitioned to trombone at that point because its so much more obvious who is playing the wrong note that way. Wasn't my favorite thing. In fact, I can't stand parades since then.
	🚂 1:30pm YETI BOB: Ahoy mate!
	🚂 1:31pm Handy Haversack: David in California: did Big Uke convince you you couldn't grow more fingers?
	🚂 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One of the Three Best Gittarists Ever was of course Django Reinhardt - who had effectively only two fingers to fret with cause of a fire in his Gupsy caravan. True - he did have to alter his technique - but this just resulted in helping to pioneer Lead playing over Chords...
	🚂 1:31pm YETI BOB: RevRab: You're not a fan of alternate tunings, I take it? (I love em. Great way to get out of a rut)
	🚂 1:32pm Carmichael: As a big Richard Thompson fan, I notice he rarely uses standard tuning.
	1:32pm David in California: Handy, I didn't know that was possible for our species.
	🚂 1:33pm Handy Haversack: That's what they want us to think!
	🚂 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @YetiB: I suppose for me it's about having Gittars for the 1st time in my life that might actually stay in tune - so I'm reveling in a sense in being in Standard Tuning & staying there... Otherwise - this in fact is the thang about Gittar ! : There are not heavy Rules - because it wasn't in the Classical Tradition ! It was always a Gypsy - the village bike & everyone's had a ride...
	🚂 1:34pm chris in the redwoods: recently saw Warren Ellis and Nick Cave. at one point, Warren began tuning his violin. Nick, paused. turned to him and asked, "is that really going to help? what difference are you imagining?" hehehe.
	🚂 1:36pm YETI BOB: RevRab: I mostly go between Bentonia (DADFAD) and standard, occasionally experiment with something else.
	🚂 1:37pm Handy Haversack: Don't let anyone tell you Bentonia is just a dad fad, YB!
	🚂 1:38pm chresti: My brother collects electric guitars. He's a pretty good harmonica player.
	1:38pm Stanley: A wave from your handkerchief is not much to ask for.
	1:39pm David (in London): When Station Manager Ken was playing various versions of Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' yesterday, the Sonic Youth version was actually not that far from the original....except when Lee Ranaldo opened up and all six-string Hell broke loose. It's weird to think of him being under-rated, but I can't think of anyone who has pushed the guitar further into new territory over the past few decades than he has (whether you like SY or not). Massive tip o' the hat to Mr Lee.
	🚂 1:39pm Carmichael: Handy's on point today ... 🥴🤓
	🚂 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great interview to remind us that if we weren't in Sonic Youth - there kind of is no point... : aquariumdrunkard.com...
	1:39pm still b/p: Attention investment bankers: Pitching a can't miss start-up to let people order extra fingers online. "DigitAdd -- One click and we give you the finger!"
	🚂 1:39pm YETI BOB: HH: I should try BAGDAD tuning. And if I had 7 strings I could use CABBAGE
	1:39pm Hubig Pie: I have an adirondack chair in the same state of repair as the photo. Hello everyone
	🚂 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Ugh, had to turn off music for a work call. Did they hint at RR yet?
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Tuba alert (love tuba bass!)!
	1:40pm David Dichelle: Hello Hubig and still b/p!
	🚂 1:40pm Carmichael: I have 13 guitars currently, chresti.
	🚂 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well, saw Tuvans yesterday, so Tubans today makes it complete...
	1:40pm Will in Norman: tub-a or not tub-b
	1:40pm ChukAmok: @YB With eight string ABBAABBA would be possible. A simple ABBA could be done on a bass.
	1:40pm David (in London): Yo doctorjazz, Hubig, 3M.
	🚂 1:41pm YETI BOB: (4 guitars, 2 basses)
	1:41pm David Dichelle: And greetings Will and Chuk - no hints yet (I don't think), Threemoons.
	🚂 1:41pm chresti: Ha still b/p! Hi Carmichael, I bet you can play them too!
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: ....and a 'yo' unto thee, David
	🚂 1:42pm YETI BOB: ((some of them gathering dust, I should play more))
	🚂 1:43pm chresti: I think Franco has 5 guitars.
	1:43pm David in California: With nine strings, ABBADABBA would be possible. And could be played on your honeymoon.
	🚂 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A few Gittars - a Bass ...an alto sax, a violin, a handful of harmonicas ...a silver flute & various wooden & plastic ones ...a digital tamboura ...a few pieces of a drumset (no Bass & only one cymbal) ...various handrums...
	🚂 1:44pm Diana in Hungary: I see that I missed Žalvarinis! I'll have to listen to "Krapas" later. Anyway, it was a good Zoom call, and it's good to be back.
	1:44pm TDK60: Yo, David in London, NE. Interesting thoughts on Lee R.
	1:44pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Diana!
	🚂 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...more than seven strings & that's a Harp imho...
	1:44pm doctorjazz: I've got 3 guitars (that I rarely pick up...) Richard Thompson is a master of alternate runnings...
	🚂 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RT is a Master of a few damn things...
	🚂 1:45pm chresti: Sounds like we've got a band of many guitars.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Hubig. Snow stop?
	🚂 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the usual: Okay ...we got six Gittarists ...anybody wanna play Bass or Drums or Sing ?? ...Anybody - ??...
	1:48pm Hubig Pie: Jah , Handy. Just got done with shovelin' chores. Looks to be about 8 inches. Spring is a mess around here. Instrument inventory- one classical guitar, 1 highland pipe set, 1 lowland Northumbrian small pipe set.
	🚂 1:49pm Bas NL: Ready for my quick detour home! I'm playing Togo for the RR today!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: I played bass badly in high school, also drums on a wooden chair in summer camp, think I'm your guy...
	🚂 1:51pm chresti: 2 clarinets, 2 organs...
	🚂 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bass ! Hold the root note & stay on beat. You're in...
	1:52pm Stanley: My pal is in Orkestra del Sol
	1:52pm Hubig Pie: Putting in a late guess for Tunisia
	1:52pm Phillippe: two clarinets, a flute, a trombone, and my son has 3 guitars and a bass. We just look at them at this point.
	🚂 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Djibouti! Sweet!
	🚂 1:53pm YETI BOB: RevRab: Sure, but that's not very interesting to me. To make bass interesting, you have to play the "countermelody". (And to be a really great bassist, you have to have better rhythm than I do!)
	1:53pm Sem: Next up, Zappa.
	1:54pm Webhamster Henry: Another pin in the map!
	1:54pm Phillippe: Wasn't there a character in Buckaroo Bonzai with a similar name?
	1:54pm Stanley: Sheik it Sem
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I remember "learning" when I was a kid that in a local language, "Djibouti" meant "my casserole," but that hardly seems credible.
	1:55pm Sem: en.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @YB: Yes - conversely, Bass is the nexus twixt Rhythm & the Harmonic element. A foot in each. Actually more complicated in its way.
	1:55pm ChukAmok: Three guitars (2 six, one 12), bass, drums, an old Moog, a less-elderly theremin, a stoop sale trombone, and a heavy Casio that I found on the street in BedStuy long ago and still kind of works. Oh, and an electric kazoo.
	🚂 1:57pm Handy Haversack: "The country is named for its capital, the City of Djibouti. The etymology of the name is disputed. Several theories and legends exist regarding its origin, varying based on ethnicity. One theory derives it from the Afar word gabouti, meaning "plate", possibly referring to the geographical features of the area.[13] Another connects it to gabood, meaning "upland/plateau".[14] Djibouti could also mean "Land of Tehuti" or "Land of Thoth (Egyptian: Djehuti/ Djehuty)", after the Egyptian Moon God."
	1:57pm still b/p: Hiya chresti and conductor and passengers. Watched a stand-up bass player a few times recently and never fail -- feeling like a musical rube -- to be impressed by the simple practiced familiarity that gets to the accuracy with NOOOO frets. If there are many guitarists here, you could play like the wide line of young guitarists who played "folk" Catholic masses at the front of the church when I was in elementary school. Chording their youthful hearts out.
	1:57pm Phillippe: I also have an old tascam without cables or adapter for recording purposes
	1:57pm zzz: looking forward to the Djibouti tunes, already digging this
	1:58pm ChukAmok: Oh, and course hello David! How rude of me not have responded already. Glad to be back!
	1:58pm David Dichelle: Welcome back, Chuk!
	2:02pm David (in London): Right, gotta make like a banana now and split. Thanks David. Toodles groovers!
	2:03pm TDK60: I try to play acoustic 6-string guitar, based on singing songs rather than much soloing. Played electric bass guitar in bands. Open mikes mosytly where it's usually two songs or 10 minutes tops. Sometimes 8 or 9 min.
	🚂 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Late DiL !
	🚂 2:03pm chris in the redwoods: night, David (iL).
	🚂 2:03pm Handy Haversack: See youse, David.
	2:04pm David Dichelle: Have a good evening, David!
	🚂 2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I otoh have fairly severe Lead Gittarist Disease - characterized by being driven ADD squirrely insane by mere strumming &/or learning songs...
	2:05pm TDK60: Dig the Djibouti reggae-like beat. And I like the words for hello and peace.
	🚂 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho I have had periods of deep dives into the BobDylan Songbook w/ an acoustic @ one or two points in life when it was strictly necessary for emotional survival...
	🚂 2:08pm Michael 98145: We will be -for- Mars -after- they sign the peace treaties
	🚂 2:08pm chris in the redwoods: very nice sounds, Djibouti.
	🚂 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...first, we require that ♂︎Mars must rescind Martial Law ...a challenge to their pride, as it's literally named after them...
	🚂 2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always fascinating to hear the Arabic/African interface in this region (widely speaking) of the World.
	🚂 2:14pm Brian in UK: I have got to grade six on the pink oboe. Still practicing!
	🚂 2:14pm YETI BOB: still b/p: it is impressive, but it's actually not as hard as it looks, your hands/arms get used to what each position feels like. and if you're listening closely to yourself, you can make small corrections if you're off.
	🚂 2:15pm YETI BOB: still b/p: however I get the exact same feeling watching trombone players - how do they DO that?!
	🚂 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I imagine any double reed like the oboe is somewhat challenging upfront ...& yerknow, easy to forget that for any Woodwind, first thing you need is Lungs...
	2:20pm still b/p: Deals made with the devil. Alex says, "Come with Uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones."
	🚂 2:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot violin would be enuff like gittar to glve me an In. Rather - their contrasts are as prominent I feel... As Gittarist - one hopes for as much finger span as possible. Violin is so tiny - it is instead more like Typing: Lock yer hand in place & land them fingers exactly in the right spot. Stand Up Bass may differ - I haven't tried it ! Also - violin tuned opposite to gittar: GDAE... Where Bass is EADG like gittar too...
	🚂 2:21pm Michael 98145: No Sheik Yerbouti comments ?
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: We were all waiting for you, Michael98145
	🚂 2:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Michael 98145 I was kind of waiting for one also....
	🚂 2:24pm chris in the redwoods: mandolin is tuned like a violin, i believe, RevRab.
	🚂 2:24pm YETI BOB: RevRab: Yeah, my paws are too big for the fiddle, but the bass suits me fine. The notes are pretty far apart at the bottom, but as you go up the neck they get closer. You can actually tune it either in 5ths (classical) or 4ths (jazz/blues/rock). One time I asked my teacher if I should try tuning in 5ths, he said "Yeah you can try that if you want, but then you'll have to find a new teacher.". R. Fripp's "New Standard Tuning" is in 5ths, I believe.
	🚂 2:25pm Handy Haversack: I hope you Greensleevesed the hell out of him, YB!
	🚂 2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandolin is essentially a flat violin with frets.
	🚂 2:26pm Handy Haversack: (Also, my friends JUST made the flight in London.)
	🚂 2:26pm YETI BOB: Rev: Never thought of violin tuning as "opposite" to guitar, since the notes are still going up... Interesting way to look at it.
	🚂 2:27pm YETI BOB: HH: If by "Greensleeved him" you mean made him tell me to give up the instrument, no, it wasn't like that. He was a very positive and encouraging teacher. I called him by "bass guru".
	🚂 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Course - no Chords on violin anyhow - as it's arched... Two notes @ once maybe (double stops)...
	🚂 2:29pm Bas NL: Djibouti! Nice! And hello again!
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: I just meant "played 'Greensleeves'"!
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Hello again, Bas!
	2:30pm Webhamster Henry: @RR63 there's a quick shot in "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" of a guy strumming a violin like a mandolin. I was very impressed!
	🚂 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also if you mix picking finger grease with their rosin, violinists declare Marital Law...
	🚂 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...violin violence is surprisingly inelegant...
	🚂 2:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: But...strumming a violin is VERBOTEN! www.openculture.com...
	2:33pm doctorjazz: RRN63, just like BB King, he never learned comping, chords, went to lead guitar and stayed there.
	🚂 2:33pm Michael 98145: "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" is a good representation of the PNW
	🚂 2:33pm chris in the redwoods: i love it when travel just works out. :) we were once nearly three hours late to a plane out of Milan, and still got on-board... only because of a metro issue in Milan itself.
	🚂 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: See? Martial Law.
	🚂 2:34pm Brian in UK: David, good work as ever.
	🚂 2:34pm Handy Haversack: Michael, one of K8's fave movies.
	🚂 2:34pm Michael 98145: @chris, we really enjoyed Milan. hope to return someday.
	2:34pm TDK60: Yes, great sounds, David. This sounds like the oud.
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Thanks Brian and TDK!
	🚂 2:35pm Michael 98145: @Handy, is K8 originally from here ...?
	🚂 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chatting away not meant to detract from the excellence of the playlist.
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Thanks RRN, feel free to listen and chat, of course.
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Michael, she was there 0-14, moved to MPLS, and then her parents moved back when she was in college. So it's definitely part of her origin story. Though we've both now lived in Greenpoint, BK, longer than anywhere else.
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:37pm TDK60: I haven't tried an oud. A friend has one.
	🚂 2:37pm Brian in UK: Michael 98145 @2.21. I refer you to Sem's comment at 1.53.
	2:38pm David Dichelle: It could be the Djiboudi.
	🚂 2:39pm Michael 98145: Of course! Bravo, Sem. @Handy, i've only ever lived on the Left Coast
	🚂 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I lived in SantaBarbara there was a great MiddleEastern ensemble featuring Oud - & sometimes bellydancers ! ...Not so much in NewHampshuh...
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: It was mentioned prominently in the "music of Djibouti" section, TDK60. We have a (Lebanese) friend who plays it. Michael, since K8 and I have been together, her parents have lived in Federal Way, Sand Point (Seattle), and now Green Lake (Seattle). They lived in the U District when she was a kid as her dad worked at UW. (Federal Way because he then worked at PLU.) (Not our PLU!)
	2:40pm still b/p: Went to look up something in the McCabe & Mrs. Miller script a few months ago, and then kept reading much of it. Same thing recently with Godfather script -- just checking a thing, and then reading large sections. Kinda irresistible rabbit hole, with shots specified and some further direction/intentions included. And comparing earlier Godfather version with more final shooting script.
	🚂 2:40pm Michael 98145: Lotsa UW connections here, too
	🚂 2:41pm Bas NL: Good vibe in this Noqo!
	2:41pm Funky16Corners: Testify! The Mamas and Papas Covered and Uncovered - coming up at 3PM ET - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/114224
	🚂 2:41pm Brian in UK: Sounds north of the Equator are more Arabic than South of the Equator. I know, a generalisation.
	🚂 2:41pm YETI BOB: The name "lute" is a corruption of "al oud". Interesting huh?
	🚂 2:42pm Michael 98145: Hard to believe The Godfather was FIFTY years ago. A house favorite.
	2:42pm Webhamster Henry: @still B/p is there line like "Mrs. M dives into the chicken like she hasn't eaten in a week"?
	🚂 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YB - it is !
	🚂 2:43pm Brian in UK: Long live the KORA.
	🚂 2:44pm Handy Haversack: I spent a lot of time with the Godfather script this fall and winter. That movie is hundreds of times better than the book.
	🚂 2:45pm YETI BOB: Brian in UK: I saw a 6-piece berimbau ensemble (!) last week, one of the pieces they played was called "Kora" (no actual koras were involved). The group is called Arcomusical, they are fantastic. Not a plug, I have no connection to the band, I just think they are great.
	2:46pm still b/p: Don't recall it, WH, but LOVE to think so.
	🚂 2:47pm YETI BOB: According to Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, "The Godfather" was not only a depiction of mob life, it actually provided a template for him and his associates to follow.
	🚂 2:47pm YETI BOB: (What a great movie. One of my ATF's)
	2:47pm Hubig Pie: The Godfather novel had a whole chapter devoted to Lucy Mancini's operation cuz only the well-hung Sonny could give her pleasure
	2:48pm Webhamster Henry: "I wouldn't want his mother to see him like this."
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: My point, Hubig. Yeah.
	🚂 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Heard about some popular podcast a lady interviews the old-time Mafiosos...
	2:51pm still b/p: Yeah, was just going to say I heard about mob guys with their own podcasts now, talking about old days, spinning things their own way, taking (verbal) shots at grudge targets.
	🚂 2:51pm Bas NL: We need more Reggae in native languages! Love this.

But I come up with a theme every year and tailor the weekly e-mails around it. This year, The Godfather. (Previous years: Withnail and I, The Big Lebowski, Calvin and Hobbes, Community, The Simpsons (twice), Bloom County, D&D). Ahhhh, no! It always reaches the terminal too soon. Great show, David!
