	5:06pm Irene Trudel: Hi Andrew!
	5:06pm Dean: Can't "tune in" until I've wrapped up recordings of Wilhelm Kempff from 1924, Beethoven, magisterial, almost heroic. To my mind, entirely appropriate for this day. Minutes to go...

	5:11pm Stork: Hey All! Was about to drift into slumber when i saw this lovely fill-in listed. Great lineup on this WL Smith Meisterstück! Thanks, Doug!
	5:13pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:11 Herr Stork! Let me send you some toothpicks for the eyelids!
	5:16pm KimSorise: Hello Doug and Streamers
	5:18pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ KimSorise @5:16 The eminent Sister Sorise!
	5:20pm Stork: Hey Dean, never heard those 20’s recordings by Kempff but have and love his sonatas cycle recorded in the 60’s.
	5:20pm vanhooserd: ↳ Dean @5:06 I like Kempff, but have never heard anything that early. Acoustic?
	5:20pm Stork: Go Ant‘ny Davis , go!
	5:20pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings, vanhooserd!
	5:21pm vanhooserd: Hi, Doug!
	5:21pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:20 Nice to see that Anthony Davis' opera "X" is receiving renewed interest.
	5:22pm Dean: Stork, I have those, too, vinyl. Marston is a treasure.
	5:22pm Doug Schulkind: UPSETTING LANGUAGE ALERT! Please be advised that during the next sequence of songs, lasting for about 35 minutes, the performance contains narration that will use the N-word. If hearing this word exposes you to trauma, please turn off the radio program. I will comment in this space when the problematic selections have concluded.
	5:27pm vanhooserd: Who's the "harp" player?
	5:28pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ vanhooserd @5:27 On the talkover music, I think you mean? That was Charlie Musslewhite.
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1923: Hi Hi Hi
	5:30pm vanhooserd: ↳ Doug Schulkind @5:28 I thought it might be. What's that track?
	5:30pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @5:29 Delighted that you're here, PaulRobeson1923!
	5:31pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ vanhooserd @5:30 "Cristo Redentor." Title track from the 1968 Harvey Mandel record on Philips.
	🥁 5:31pm StringOFperils: We are here this evening for serious business. We are here in a general sense because first and foremost, we are American citizens, and we are DETERMINED TO ACQUIRE OUR CITIZENSHIP to the fullest of its meaning. We are here also because of our deep-seated belief that democracy transformed from thin paper to thick action is the greatest form of government on earth. But we are here in a specific sense because of the bus situation in Montgomery.__Martin Luther King, in 1954, addressing the Holt St. Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama, having just been selected as president of the Montgomery Improvement Association...at the age of 26
	5:32pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ StringOFperils @5:31 Now THAT is a fine way to make an entrance, StringOFperils.
	5:34pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya String!
	🥁 5:34pm StringOFperils: I can only marvel at the giant striding by.
	5:36pm Doug Schulkind: The vocalist here is Brenda Joyce. Learn more about the amazing legacy of Nathan Davis and his work with the Jazz Department at the University of Pittsburgh: sites.google.com...
	5:38pm Irene Trudel: Somebody's playing a Martin Luther King speech at full blast from a car passing on the street. Interesting juxtaposition to what you're playing, Doug.
	🥁 5:38pm StringOFperils: Hi Doug. Props to you for doing something special today. Hi Andrew.
	5:41pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Irene Trudel @5:38 If I could have done a longer show this afternoon, Irene, I would have included MLK's "Dream" speech from August 28, 1963.
	5:41pm Irene Trudel: ❤️
	5:42pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Irene Trudel @5:41 Actually, we will hear a portion of the speech during this program. Coming up...
	5:42pm Dean: Sorry, vanhooserd, missed your question. Yes, acoustic.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: If the playlist art looks familiar, I used it for an MLK special I broadcast 10 years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 5:44pm JtotheK: late in arriving. hi everyone!
	5:44pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ JtotheK @5:44 Happy you're here, JtotheK!
	5:45pm Doug Schulkind: Marilyn Davis on "sound effects" here. Joe Davis on drums.
	5:46pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: John Lewis RIP
	5:47pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ bobobob fabtriplasticland @5:46 His blood forever stains the asphalt in Selma and a nation's conscience.
	5:48pm Stork: Hearing soprano sax again but see no one credited in discogs.
	5:48pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:48 All saxes and flutes are by Nathan Davis, Stork. Some of those Discogs pages have oddly left him out.
	5:49pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WR @5:01 Here`s a good interview with The Edge`s founder Gary Topp: www.weraddicted.com...
	5:49pm alanr: late for the show, but lots to go. thanks for doing this one, Doug. Music sometimes speaks better than words -- especially when those in power choose from King what to quote, and ignore the essence of his ideas, which were quite radical!
	5:49pm Dean: I'll recommend not for the first time Edmund Morgan's American Slavery American Freedom, which I need to reread.
	5:49pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:48 Check this page, Stork: www.discogs.com...
	5:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @5:38 Here`s a good interview with The Edge`s founder Gary Topp: www.weraddicted.com...
	5:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ alanr @5:49 Well said, alanr. I prefer to provide the megaphone into which others may shout.
	5:51pm Stork: Thanks , Doug. Assumed so. Bari sax by Lee Gross.
	5:52pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:51 The pianist on the date, Frank Cunimondo, is a minor legend here in Pittsburgh.
	🥁 5:53pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Andrew; and thank you, Dean. That looks like an excellent history. I think I'll look for that.
	5:53pm Dean: My daughter attends a school named after MLK, of which there are many in this country. Similarly, streets. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
	🥁 5:53pm JtotheK: ^ yes, thanks for the book recommendation, Dean!
	5:55pm WR: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @5:49 Thank you Andrew, will check it later.
	5:55pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @5:53 And on a semi-related note, my daughter is named after Lincoln. And in 10 days she'll be moving to Brooklyn. She'll be living on Lincoln Place.
	5:57pm Dean: "How can I reach you, daughter of Doug?" "Lincoln at Lincoln, please." I've never read Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made. Need to do so, but Morgan is well worth the effort.
	5:59pm PaulRobeson1923: Eugene Genovese is a reliable source
	6:00pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @5:57 Great, great book. Also, when we moved to Pittsburgh, we almost bought a house on Gettysburg Street. We didn't go for that house, but if we had, the "We've Moved" postcards would have been amazing: "Here is Lincoln's new Gettysburg address"!
	🥁 6:01pm StringOFperils: ^^ ha ha. Crazy.
	6:01pm Dean: "Four score and twenty years ago... Uhm, no. Last week, we moved..."
	6:03pm Doug Schulkind: SAFE TO RETURN. No more trauma-inducing language will be presented here.
	6:09pm Mike Cooper: Hi there! great programme as usual... btw all around Italy there are roads, squares, youth clubs and the like all named after MLK too
	6:12pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Mike Cooper @6:09 Welcome Mr. Cooper! What's the name of your youth club?!
	6:13pm Dean: The same Mike Cooper featured on Dave Sewelson's show? What a pleasure! That was a superb show.
	6:14pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @6:13 Mike was the guest of honor on Stork's programme yesterday.
	6:14pm Dean: Oh, right, Stork.
	6:17pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @6:14 I think I am going to issue an edict mandating that all programs on the Drummer Stream welcome Mike Cooper as a guest of honor.
	6:17pm PaulRobeson1923: Federally Guaranteed Job or a Federally Guaranteed Income- where is that idea in our public discourse today? Paul Robeson in the early 50’s wrote the Average income for a white family in the north is $3,500 dollars a year- compared to the Average yearly income for a Black Family in the south at $400 dollars a year
	6:19pm vanhooserd: ↳ Song: "The Dream / It's Time" by "Max Roach" I have this LP but probably haven't played it in 20 years.
	6:20pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:17 As I have stated many times on this program over the course of 40+ years of doing radio, Paul Robeson gets my vote for "Greatest Human Ever."
	6:22pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ vanhooserd @6:19 I last played this track on the air in 2011. Hope I don't wait until 2035 to play it again!
	6:25pm Stork: Thanks for the corrected Discogs link, Doug. Was Nathan Davis so busy composing, arranging, and directing that he could only manage to play 9 different instruments? Thanks again for playing that amazing work that I‘d never heard.
	6:26pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @6:25 The pleasure's mine, Stork!
	6:27pm PaulRobeson1923: Jim Crow, like slavery, was & is primarily an economic institution. Until 1930, 4 out of 5 Black people lived in the U.S South- U know, similar to MLK- some elements in the U.S Government tried to kill Paul Robeson on numerous occasions- unscrewing the front drivers side wheel of his car- to cause Paul’s car to swerve into oncoming traffic at highway speed- each time the wheel fell off before reaching highway speed
	6:28pm KimSorise: Hello Doug and Streamers!
	6:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Doug & others
	6:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:31 Hi coel!
	6:33pm Doug Schulkind: Don't touch that mouse! Kim Sorise and her brilliant Global Grease radio program are coming up next. Right here: wfmu.org...
	6:33pm Doug Schulkind: The voice you just heard was that of Max Roach.
	6:34pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:31 Nice to see y∅u, coelacanth∅!
	6:34pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	6:34pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:27 Preach, PR1923, preach!
	6:36pm PaulRobeson1923: A dead leaders political uses & historical memory is more malleable than before death.
	6:38pm Doug Schulkind: The second horn you hear on this track with Coltrane is that of Pharoah Sanders. May he rest in eternal peace.
	6:43pm Doug Schulkind: Trane is on bass clarinet right here.
	6:45pm PaulRobeson1923: King was assassinated as a radical for love and reformer for justice… paraphrasing - “what good is equality if I can not feed my family this way?” So, King died as a radical for peace, love & as a man who told the Truth in public- today his historical memory has been reborn/reshaped into what we see today… militarism… poverty… spiritual death The Drug War has replaced the political uses of Jim Crow- the strange fruits of which we witnessed on May 25th, 2020
	6:46pm Doug Schulkind: Coming up next, to conclude the program, Nina Simone will be present a song for Reverend King. She is performing it three days after the assassination (at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island, NY). The song was written by Ms. Simone's bass player, Gene Taylor. This is the full 13-minute performance, not the 5+ minute excerpt that has been widely reissued.
	6:46pm Dean: I'm presently working on a poem for which I've had a title prior to commencing composition: The Amanuensis of Dr. Seuss. Sounds goofy, I know. Trust me, it won't be.
	6:47pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:45 I think what ultimate got King murdered was his anti-war advocacy. (But no one asked me.)
	6:49pm KimSorise: Beautiful show, Doug! All Love.
	🥁 6:50pm StringOFperils: A perceived excess of liberality in general raise the hackles of conservatives, just as it's doing right now, and they dragged change itself out onto the killing floor. We are slow learners.
	6:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ KimSorise @6:49 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
	6:52pm KimSorise: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:46 Incredible version.
	6:52pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:47 Beyond Vietnam…
	6:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Doug and Kingship. The blues program Friday nights on Vassar College station WVKR would usually air an MLK special each year. I forgot to tune in this year.
	6:54pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:53 Howdy, Ken From Hyde Park. Glad you stopped by.
	6:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Superb show! Thanks Doug!
	6:55pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @6:54 So pleased you've enjoyed it, Andrew in Toronto!
	6:55pm Andres: Powerful words and music to reflect on. Thank you, Doug, for the incredible program.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: Doug @647 i think to a great degree it was to crush the spirit of the people
	6:56pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Andres @6:55 Honored to have presented it, Andres.
	6:57pm coelacanth∅: ...(same concept that gives merit to the easily possible idea that John Lennon was murdered by the government, even though by then he showed no signs of giving a crap)
	6:58pm Doug Schulkind: This is the part that almost all the versions of this performance have edited out.
	6:58pm Doug Schulkind: This is April 7, 1968. Three days after the assassination.
	🥁 6:59pm StringOFperils: Jeez. How did she even do it? I remember how dark it was.
	7:00pm Dean: Somehow I wouldn't mind hearing UB40.
	🥁 7:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	7:02pm Doug Schulkind: Peace, love and justice, everyone!
	7:05pm WR: Thank you, Doug.
	7:13pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ WR @7:05 My deepest pleasure, WR.
	🥁 12:23pm doctorjazz: Missed this in real time, archives are a godsend, great show! Thanks Doug!
	1:31pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 So glad you found the show and took the time to listen

January 16, 2023: The King of love

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

"...Much of the power of our Freedom Movement in the United States has come from this music. It has strengthened us with its sweet rhythms when courage began to fail. It has calmed us with its rich harmonies when spirits were down. And now, Jazz is exported to the world. For in the particular struggle of the Negro in America there is something akin to the universal struggle of modern man. Everybody has the Blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In music, especially this broad category called Jazz, there is a stepping stone towards all of these."
—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

	5:42pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Irene Trudel @5:41 Actually, we will hear a portion of the speech during this program. Coming up...
	5:42pm Dean: Sorry, vanhooserd, missed your question. Yes, acoustic.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: If the playlist art looks familiar, I used it for an MLK special I broadcast 10 years ago: wfmu.org...
	🥁 5:44pm JtotheK: late in arriving. hi everyone!
	5:44pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ JtotheK @5:44 Happy you're here, JtotheK!
	5:45pm Doug Schulkind: Marilyn Davis on "sound effects" here. Joe Davis on drums.
	5:46pm bobobob fabtriplasticland: John Lewis RIP
	5:47pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ bobobob fabtriplasticland @5:46 His blood forever stains the asphalt in Selma and a nation's conscience.
	5:48pm Stork: Hearing soprano sax again but see no one credited in discogs.
	5:48pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:48 All saxes and flutes are by Nathan Davis, Stork. Some of those Discogs pages have oddly left him out.
	5:49pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WR @5:01 Here`s a good interview with The Edge`s founder Gary Topp: www.weraddicted.com...
	5:49pm alanr: late for the show, but lots to go. thanks for doing this one, Doug. Music sometimes speaks better than words -- especially when those in power choose from King what to quote, and ignore the essence of his ideas, which were quite radical!
	5:49pm Dean: I'll recommend not for the first time Edmund Morgan's American Slavery American Freedom, which I need to reread.
	5:49pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:48 Check this page, Stork: www.discogs.com...
	5:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @5:38 Here`s a good interview with The Edge`s founder Gary Topp: www.weraddicted.com...
	5:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ alanr @5:49 Well said, alanr. I prefer to provide the megaphone into which others may shout.
	5:51pm Stork: Thanks , Doug. Assumed so. Bari sax by Lee Gross.
	5:52pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @5:51 The pianist on the date, Frank Cunimondo, is a minor legend here in Pittsburgh.
	🥁 5:53pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Andrew; and thank you, Dean. That looks like an excellent history. I think I'll look for that.
	5:53pm Dean: My daughter attends a school named after MLK, of which there are many in this country. Similarly, streets. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
	🥁 5:53pm JtotheK: ^ yes, thanks for the book recommendation, Dean!
	5:55pm WR: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @5:49 Thank you Andrew, will check it later.
	5:55pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @5:53 And on a semi-related note, my daughter is named after Lincoln. And in 10 days she'll be moving to Brooklyn. She'll be living on Lincoln Place.
	5:57pm Dean: "How can I reach you, daughter of Doug?" "Lincoln at Lincoln, please." I've never read Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made. Need to do so, but Morgan is well worth the effort.
	5:59pm PaulRobeson1923: Eugene Genovese is a reliable source
	6:00pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @5:57 Great, great book. Also, when we moved to Pittsburgh, we almost bought a house on Gettysburg Street. We didn't go for that house, but if we had, the "We've Moved" postcards would have been amazing: "Here is Lincoln's new Gettysburg address"!
	🥁 6:01pm StringOFperils: ^^ ha ha. Crazy.
	6:01pm Dean: "Four score and twenty years ago... Uhm, no. Last week, we moved..."
	6:03pm Doug Schulkind: SAFE TO RETURN. No more trauma-inducing language will be presented here.
	6:09pm Mike Cooper: Hi there! great programme as usual... btw all around Italy there are roads, squares, youth clubs and the like all named after MLK too
	6:12pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Mike Cooper @6:09 Welcome Mr. Cooper! What's the name of your youth club?!
	6:13pm Dean: The same Mike Cooper featured on Dave Sewelson's show? What a pleasure! That was a superb show.
	6:14pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @6:13 Mike was the guest of honor on Stork's programme yesterday.
	6:14pm Dean: Oh, right, Stork.
	6:17pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @6:14 I think I am going to issue an edict mandating that all programs on the Drummer Stream welcome Mike Cooper as a guest of honor.
	6:17pm PaulRobeson1923: Federally Guaranteed Job or a Federally Guaranteed Income- where is that idea in our public discourse today? Paul Robeson in the early 50’s wrote the Average income for a white family in the north is $3,500 dollars a year- compared to the Average yearly income for a Black Family in the south at $400 dollars a year
	6:19pm vanhooserd: ↳ Song: "The Dream / It's Time" by "Max Roach" I have this LP but probably haven't played it in 20 years.
	6:20pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:17 As I have stated many times on this program over the course of 40+ years of doing radio, Paul Robeson gets my vote for "Greatest Human Ever."
	6:22pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ vanhooserd @6:19 I last played this track on the air in 2011. Hope I don't wait until 2035 to play it again!
	6:25pm Stork: Thanks for the corrected Discogs link, Doug. Was Nathan Davis so busy composing, arranging, and directing that he could only manage to play 9 different instruments? Thanks again for playing that amazing work that I‘d never heard.
	6:26pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @6:25 The pleasure's mine, Stork!
	6:27pm PaulRobeson1923: Jim Crow, like slavery, was & is primarily an economic institution. Until 1930, 4 out of 5 Black people lived in the U.S South- U know, similar to MLK- some elements in the U.S Government tried to kill Paul Robeson on numerous occasions- unscrewing the front drivers side wheel of his car- to cause Paul’s car to swerve into oncoming traffic at highway speed- each time the wheel fell off before reaching highway speed
	6:28pm KimSorise: Hello Doug and Streamers!
	6:31pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Doug & others
	6:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:31 Hi coel!
	6:33pm Doug Schulkind: Don't touch that mouse! Kim Sorise and her brilliant Global Grease radio program are coming up next. Right here: wfmu.org...
	6:33pm Doug Schulkind: The voice you just heard was that of Max Roach.
	6:34pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:31 Nice to see y∅u, coelacanth∅!
	6:34pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	6:34pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:27 Preach, PR1923, preach!
	6:36pm PaulRobeson1923: A dead leaders political uses & historical memory is more malleable than before death.
	6:38pm Doug Schulkind: The second horn you hear on this track with Coltrane is that of Pharoah Sanders. May he rest in eternal peace.
	6:43pm Doug Schulkind: Trane is on bass clarinet right here.
	6:45pm PaulRobeson1923: King was assassinated as a radical for love and reformer for justice… paraphrasing - “what good is equality if I can not feed my family this way?” So, King died as a radical for peace, love & as a man who told the Truth in public- today his historical memory has been reborn/reshaped into what we see today… militarism… poverty… spiritual death The Drug War has replaced the political uses of Jim Crow- the strange fruits of which we witnessed on May 25th, 2020
	6:46pm Doug Schulkind: Coming up next, to conclude the program, Nina Simone will be present a song for Reverend King. She is performing it three days after the assassination (at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island, NY). The song was written by Ms. Simone's bass player, Gene Taylor. This is the full 13-minute performance, not the 5+ minute excerpt that has been widely reissued.
	6:46pm Dean: I'm presently working on a poem for which I've had a title prior to commencing composition: The Amanuensis of Dr. Seuss. Sounds goofy, I know. Trust me, it won't be.
	6:47pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @6:45 I think what ultimate got King murdered was his anti-war advocacy. (But no one asked me.)
	6:49pm KimSorise: Beautiful show, Doug! All Love.
	🥁 6:50pm StringOFperils: A perceived excess of liberality in general raise the hackles of conservatives, just as it's doing right now, and they dragged change itself out onto the killing floor. We are slow learners.
	6:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ KimSorise @6:49 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
	6:52pm KimSorise: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:46 Incredible version.
	6:52pm PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:47 Beyond Vietnam…
	6:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Doug and Kingship. The blues program Friday nights on Vassar College station WVKR would usually air an MLK special each year. I forgot to tune in this year.
	6:54pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:53 Howdy, Ken From Hyde Park. Glad you stopped by.
	6:54pm Andrew in Toronto: Superb show! Thanks Doug!
	6:55pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @6:54 So pleased you've enjoyed it, Andrew in Toronto!
	6:55pm Andres: Powerful words and music to reflect on. Thank you, Doug, for the incredible program.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: Doug @647 i think to a great degree it was to crush the spirit of the people
	6:56pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Andres @6:55 Honored to have presented it, Andres.
	6:57pm coelacanth∅: ...(same concept that gives merit to the easily possible idea that John Lennon was murdered by the government, even though by then he showed no signs of giving a crap)
	6:58pm Doug Schulkind: This is the part that almost all the versions of this performance have edited out.
	6:58pm Doug Schulkind: This is April 7, 1968. Three days after the assassination.
	🥁 6:59pm StringOFperils: Jeez. How did she even do it? I remember how dark it was.
	7:00pm Dean: Somehow I wouldn't mind hearing UB40.
	🥁 7:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	7:02pm Doug Schulkind: Peace, love and justice, everyone!
	7:05pm WR: Thank you, Doug.
	7:13pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ WR @7:05 My deepest pleasure, WR.
	🥁 12:23pm doctorjazz: Missed this in real time, archives are a godsend, great show! Thanks Doug!
	1:31pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 So glad you found the show and took the time to listen
