WFMU: Weekly World Blues with Matt Fiveash: Playlist from May 18, 2022

Listener comments!
	7:00pm ultradamno: Matt! Bluesies!
	7:00pm Dean from Old Bridge: Thanks for saving us from that show, Matt
	7:02pm G: At least they didn't make poor Matt start way early without any notice this week!
	7:03pm Matt Fiveash: Hi!
	7:03pm Lothianman: Greetings all! As Hendrix used to say at the beginning of his shows "I see that we meet again!"
	7:05pm Handy Haversack: Matt! Blueing agents! Trying to listen on headphones while on a community environmental meeting and K8 runs her set in the next room. It's complex!
	7:06pm neveract: Hi all..
	7:08pm Kitschy Mama: Nice to hear a song in it’s entirety
	7:08pm Lothianman: Fantastic instrumental duo there!
	7:13pm Lothianman: Ok I recall from an earlier DTS show that Jessie Hill song also qualifies as an instrumental
	7:19pm neveract: Ella Fitzgerald does a great (kinda rare for her, blues) cover of Cherry Red.
	7:20pm Zinn The Mood: Hey Blues peeps. This set is hitting the spot during a particularly blue week. Mourning a bass player friend who died of Covid last week (was very immunocompromised), the Buffalo white supremacist massacre and reading a book that was mentioned in a James Baldwin bio called “Home To Harlem,” which is set in 1920’s blues drenched uptown. I’m sitting in the park with the sun going down over the Hell Gate/East River listening while watching the kids play on the playground. Thanks.
	7:21pm Kitschy Mama: Naughty!
	7:21pm Handy Haversack: OK, I am pretty sure that the NOAA biologist on this call I'm on who said he spent the day running Eel Day(!!!!) at Liberty State Park in JC is wearing a WFMU hat!
	7:22pm Uleeshuh TN: sorry Zinn 😞. didn't know you could say Poon tang on the radio!
	7:22pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Zinn. Sympathy and solidarity, friend.
	7:23pm Edward: Nothing dirty about it. They said right there in the song, "poon-tang" is just huggin' and a-kissin.'
	7:23pm Lothianman: Nothing beats listening to weekly world blues in the daylight!
	7:24pm slugluv1313: greetings, Matt! Bluesies! werking, lurking -- but glad to be here listening with you all
	7:24pm neveract: Very sorry Zinn! The Blues are the best cure for the blues.
	7:25pm ultradamno: It's good enough for astronauts, it should be good enough for us
	7:26pm slugluv1313: hi Handy! Eel Day?!? HOW did i not know about this?!?
	7:29pm ultradamno: Eel pizza www.sushigalore.com...
	7:31pm Handy Haversack: RIGHT, slugluv?!
	7:33pm ultradamno: BBQ Eel Pizza, that is, didn't mean to sell it short
	7:35pm Dave the Spazz: This is what I tune in for.
	7:36pm dave wuz here: true story
	7:36pm Edward: I had thought of Rick Wakeman only as the guy who protested A&M signing the Sex Pistols. Newfound respect!
	7:36pm ultradamno: Who wrote Wakeman's speech, Rodney Dangerfield?
	7:37pm slugluv1313: @Zinn -- i am so sorry to hear this -- sending love and blessings and hopeful, positive energy
	7:38pm ultradamno: I didn't know that one, I knew Ronstadt and Frampton had issues with The Ramones being on Sire...
	7:40pm ultradamno: ...though I imagine Rotten would retroactively protest the Sex Pistols signing himself, considering what a fan of the royals he's become.
	7:40pm Zinn The Mood: Thanks all. Wakeman is such a character, wonderful story teller. Great but - thanks! Don’t care what anyone says, I fucking LOVE Yes! So much so that it’s ridiculous. He’s done some great celebration performances interpreting all sorts of stuff. Thanks for the nod to RW. Keep da blues coming…
	7:40pm slugluv1313: hah! i remember Maria Muldaur's version, but never heard this -- the original?
	7:41pm Edward: Huh wasn't Ronstadt on Geffen? Maria Muldaur did a whole tribute album to Blue Lu Barker that ain't bad at all.
	7:42pm Edward: Asylum I mean, not Geffen
	7:44pm ultradamno: ...yeah, they could still get Stein on the phone, apparently.
	7:45pm Lothianman: Taj! Great new release with my cooder get on board. Been dying to see him since 70 but his tix are 100 bucks easy
	7:46pm ultradamno: I think Frampton was on A&M...I don't know if he had anything to say about the Pistols for the minute they had them
	7:47pm ultradamno: Ronstadt was on record liking Television though.
	👻 7:48pm lothianman: www.youtube.com...
	7:49pm Analog Nights: Who is too cool for Taj Mahal?
	7:51pm Uleeshuh TN: I picked up a John Jackson record a long time ago at a library sale, hadn't listened in years but that accent is so unique I recognized him. All great songs and pickin'.
	7:52pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Matt! Stay Blued, everyone!
	7:53pm steveo: Hey Matt, been listening with the family, and enjoying...thanks
	7:53pm Edward: Is there anything better than Blind Willie McTell?
	7:54pm Matt Fiveash: Thanks everybody!
	7:54pm radioronan: Thanks Matt!!
	7:55pm Handy Haversack: Blossom Dearie!

	7:55pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Matt -- thanks so much!
	7:56pm ultradamno: Daisys are daft? That's floral disparagement!
	7:56pm joe mulligan: It was great to hear her voice during schoolhouse rock as a kid, and hearing Blossom Dearie now that I'm much more grown up is a treat!
	7:58pm Wretch: Like sweet honey dripping into my ears
	7:58pm neveract: Thank you Matt!
