	2:11pm doctorjazz: Seen Mr Watson (pre-pandemic), great show!
	2:13pm Dave Sewelson: yeh doc....
	🥁 2:18pm fred: Late... Got a fun polling call about radio. Guy asked about a list of radio stations, whether I listened to them. No throughout. Finally asked about "other", so I said WFMU. Got a bunch of other questions with guy struggling to say WFMU. Then he asked whether I ever listened to another station. I said WGXC and broke his will I took 20 minutes, but it was fun, and maybe the guy will check out WFMU after hearing that so often
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Hello, Dave and Bobby! Lawrence, Kansas representing here.
	2:23pm Dave Sewelson: yeah fred...
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: If you know, you know...and I know.
	2:26pm StringOFperils: Well I sure as hell don't know. I don't know know nothin'. And that's exactly why I'm here. To learn something.
	2:26pm StringOFperils: And hello, too.
	2:30pm listener Rey: Hi gentlemen, am digging the show. I went to school in NYC and they still taught music in public school. My first instrument was the recorder. Was that Bobby's too?
	2:31pm Dave Sewelson: hey stringy....
	2:32pm Dave Sewelson: we will find out listener Rey.....
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: I have two questions for Bobby. Who took that terrific photograph, and any chance we'll hear anything today that features Bob Bowman?
	2:33pm Gary J: Went to see Bobby at Vanguard early 90s. While I was looking for a parking spot, a taxi hit my car and my bumper was laying in the middle of 7th Ave. I grabbed the bumper and put it in my car through sunroof. Went to see the show it was great! I drove back to Queens with the bumper still projecting out sunroof. Then it started snowing, what a night. Thank you Mr. Watson!
	2:35pm Dave Sewelson: that's a a wild story Gary J.....
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Dave & Bobby and Freeworldlings . . . yes i been tuned in from the start, just working. please excuse my poor manners!
	2:37pm Dave Sewelson: Diallo French to the picture.....
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Another photo of Mr. Watson taken by Mr. French, on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:40pm doctorjazz: Nice take on the Maiden Voyage scaffolding!
	🥁 2:43pm fred: I think My Poor Manners was Doug's first band in high school, so you get a pass
	2:44pm Dave Sewelson: hey sealy.....
	2:44pm Gary J: Love me some Carmen Lundy. Good morning Kiss is a classic!
	2:53pm Gary J: Can you play Appointment in Milano!
	2:54pm northguineahills: here for a spell... cast away!
	2:55pm Gary J: Red record was dope
	2:57pm northguineahills: i see fred is still sharing the woofmoo gospel whenever he can...
	3:00pm Dave Sewelson: thanks fred....
	3:01pm Gary J: Can you play a Wheel within a wheel?
	3:09pm Gary J: So many losses...
	3:11pm Gary J: Bobby, can you talk a little about Roy Hargrove
	🥁 3:17pm fred: @ngh: I do what I can... (that Sinner's T-shirt helps) I once had a couple of salespeople show up, I challenged them to name some music, and sure enough I found it in the archives. It was some obscure West African band, they were impressed
	3:36pm doctorjazz: This is wonderful!!!!
	🥁 3:37pm fred: This is the best. It's happening right now, or not
	3:39pm Dave Sewelson: bobbywatson.com
	3:40pm Gary J: Did you play any gigs with Woody Shaw?
	🥁 3:42pm fred: @doc: Are you going to the Yo La Tengo Hanukkah shows?
	3:48pm Dave Sewelson: last chance for questions for Bobby...
	🥁 3:51pm fred: As usual then: when/where in France
	3:52pm doctorjazz: Hey, Fred-I went to Richard Thompson last night, concert of the week. Haven't picked up tix to Yo La Tengo (went last year, honestly, didn't love my night. Also a COVID incubation site-everyone packed like pickles, all standing (not great for my delicate back). I passed this year.
	🥁 3:55pm fred: @doc: Richard Thompson! Of the week only? You lucky guy
	3:55pm doctorjazz: (Making latkes tonight (2 kinds) family over, Bobby and Dave live covers live music today...)
	3:55pm Uncle Michael: I want to thank you for having Bobby on, Dave...and thank Bobby for being here today.
	3:57pm doctorjazz: Richard Thompson was great, as he always is...
	3:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks for your generosity, Mr. Watson.
	3:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks so much Bobby, great show this afternoon!
	3:58pm DavidJ: Thanks, Bobby!
	3:59pm northguineahills: that was great, Bobby, thanks~
	🥁 4:01pm fred: I'm so jealous, missing so many great shows. But lockdown told me I missed dance more. Sometimes I get both dance and music, not this year. It's my choice
	4:02pm doctorjazz: (I don't really get to a concert a week, Fred, but it would be great if I could. You go to many more dance performances than i get to concerts for sure).
	4:08pm doctorjazz: Dear Lord is such a beautiful tune-lovely version!
	🥁 4:09pm fred: @doc: Age does slow me down. More dance (50+), fewer concerts (same range, depressing)
	4:13pm Gary J: Thank you Bobby Watson for the show, and thank you David J for putting me on to this awesome program!
	4:13pm doctorjazz: It's hard to get out much, and I really try to get 7-8 hours of sleep these days (makes going out in work nights difficult). I actually did get to 3 other concerts this past month-John Zorn:s New Masada Quartet, Webber/Morris Big Band, and a house concert with Yuka C Honda, Nelson Clone, and The Autumn Defense.
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: it's been such a good accompaniment to working. Thanks Bobby Watson!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: (But that was in unusual concert bonanza)
	🥁 4:14pm fred: I got total rotten luck so far this year: every show at Instants Chavirés, I had a dance show. Then empty days. Sucks
	🥁 4:18pm fred: @doc: How's the New Masada? Probably won't get to see it, but Zorn...
	4:20pm doctorjazz: Zorn and New Masada put on a great show. Zorn plays and conducts, and boys a terrific band. Seen them twice (the original Masada is up there in my mental Best Live Shows I've seen list)
	4:25pm doctorjazz: I always liked the 9th Street Sax Quartet-they were sort of the "in" version of the Sax Quartet (as opposed to the "out" versions, World Sax Quartet, ROVA, etc). Think I might have seen them once (but foggy memory here, not sure).
	4:25pm northguineahills: Thanks dave! gotta rummage up some grub. (i only eat once/day on weekends)
	4:25pm doctorjazz: *29th Street Sax Quartet, shudda read.
	4:27pm Dave Sewelson: go ngh....
	4:28pm northguineahills: btw, what's 29th st sax quartet named for? I can't think of anything in that area in nyc...(Bellevue, FIT, etc)
	4:28pm doctorjazz: Making Butter Chicken (a weird mix with latkes, so shoot me), have to start the sauteeing, still listening.
	4:31pm Uncle Michael: blam
	4:32pm Uncle Michael: I forgot to tell Bobby that his friend Carmen Lundy sang at my father and stepmother's wedding celebration back in 1984.
	🥁 4:34pm fred: @doc: see, records don't compare to the live experience (message sponsored by doctorjazzwife)
	4:38pm doctorjazz: No need to invoke the Missus, @fred, I love attending live concerts. However, since most of the time I'm home and not at a venue, recordings to fill the time. (unfortunately, also fill every nook in the house...)
	4:42pm Gina Bacon: Hi, Dave, Bobby and all!
	🥁 4:43pm fred: What about turning your house into a venue when you retire? Could be musicals too...
	4:43pm Dave Sewelson: GINA GINA GINA!!!
	4:49pm doctorjazz: @fred, The thrid concert I went to last month (Honda/Cline/Autumn Defense) was at a friend's house. But, while he loves doing it, it's a lot of work, and he only can pull it off once a year (due to COVID, 2019 was the one before this one). And he's friends with the musicians that played...(would be nice, though)
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Dave, great show!!!
	4:53pm Gina Bacon: I'll be ready over here, Dave!
	4:53pm doctorjazz: Hey Gina!
	4:54pm Gina Bacon: Hi, doctorjazz!
	🥁 4:54pm fred: @doc: Get enough people once a year, and you can support a scene
	4:55pm doctorjazz: In my next life, maybe...
	4:55pm Dave Sewelson: Gina...we gonna fade it out to you....
	🥁 4:57pm fred: @doc: also, you get to choose the playlist
	4:58pm doctorjazz: That's what I always do (unless I'm streaming WFMU, of course)
	🥁 5:00pm fred: Sure, but you'd get cheered for that!
	5:01pm Dave Sewelson: thanks all you listeners...!
	6:50pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Dave!
