	6:58am dale: are dragons repriles? could do a whole prog subset of songs about dragons and maidens

	7:10am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and all!!! it hit -2 up here in Chester, NY I hope all the animals are ok
	7:15am dday: I was at this carnival, just a few years ago No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol’ stuff you know And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent Man outside made a speech, and this is how it went “She walks, she talks, she crawls on her belly like a reptile” It was the same ol’ line, except for one part He said “It don’t cost no money, you gotta pay with your heart.” ‍‍ Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again David Bromberg - Sharon
	7:15am slugluv1313: ↳ dale @6:58 omg -- Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards? The Magician's Birthday? etc. (ok i TOTALLY hated them when i was a teenager -- esp. when "punk" started to bubble under the surface -- but NOW it is like i am totally obsessed 😹😹)
	7:18am SourLemons: ↳ Amanda @7:09 The song had the lyric "lookin' for a new life, away from vinyards pier", so that would seem reasonable.
	7:19am dale: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:15 as long as it's it's dragon-centric it's fair game.
	7:20am dday: ↳ Song: "Reptile" by "The Church" We saw The Church a few years back. The house was maybe 1/4 full. The band told everyone in the house to fill the seats on the floor so we did. Fine show
	7:21am Rich from Wading River: Loving this reptile set!
	7:21am Amanda: ↳ Rich from Wading River @7:21 Aw thank you! :-)
	7:23am jojo: "where's my snake"
	7:24am Edith: Love the poem
	7:25am Jim the Poet: Hey Edith
	7:26am dday: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:15 The band had really hit their stride by Demons with 3 LP's & multiple member changes to fill out this version. After Sweet Freedom they kind of sizzled out. Now all from that period are deceased except for guitarist Mick Box
	7:27am melinda: Morning everyone 🌞☕️
	7:29am dale: was in florida in december and these little lizards were EVERYWHERE.
	7:29am Jim the Poet: 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
	7:34am WR: High Fidelity 2020, Kravitz in Brooklyn en.wikipedia.org...
	7:35am dale: re oingo - love the song 'stay' "this is not a cat show with prizes at the door." i disagree here.
	7:35am ronny: crocodiles....lizards...and snakes...oh my.....
	7:35am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:26 so true! i loved Easy Livin' and Stealin', but for whatever reasons, just could not get into them the way i was into, say, ELP, other "prog" type stuff -- & i am sure having to sit through their set before The New York Dolls on one of the late night concert shows did not help! 😹😹 and yes! except for Box, that "classic" line-up is gone! back then too, i did not realize that Gary Thain was this incredibly interesting, amazing bass player
	7:36am dale: you need vitamin c and sunshine if you have crickets.
	7:38am WR: OMG. I personally fear snakes. Listening to this and my radiator just gave our with a big hiss and it scared the bejesus out of me.
	7:38am HyperDose: Staten Island kitties have that 'tude, man 😼🚬
	7:39am jt: the lizard of oz
	7:39am dday: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:35 They are still recording & touring though. A friend saw them in Atlantic City a few years back & said they were good
	7:40am slugluv1313: ↳ dale @7:19 plenty of demon-centric stuff, but no lizards :( i was in PR for a whopping four days, a little over 20 years ago -- totally fell in love with the Coquí and the little critters (Geckos?) hanging out on the walls outside 💚💚
	7:40am dday: This sounds like Hank Hill :)
	7:41am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:39 yes! that is what i hear!
	7:42am Strandlund: Good Morning all you animals!!
	7:42am dday: The crows are out on my compost pile chomping away on the cauliflower trimmings I put out after dinner yesterday
	7:43am dale: barred owl was right outside my bedroom window one night last summer calling to another. scared the heck out of me. dday - blue jays were in our compost this morning. for heat maybe.
	7:44am slugluv1313: Paula Abdul: Cold Hearted (Snake) 🐍🐍🐍
	7:44am dale: 'write to me and let me know if you were able to shoot any of these birds for your amusement.'
	7:45am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:42 awwww -- thank you for composting AND feeding the crows!
	7:46am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Maggie My Dog" by "Norma Tanega" Norma 😻😻😻
	7:46am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Samples of Wildlife Calling Sounds" by "Johnny St... That was before Mr. Stewart learned French and became a fixture on Trouble's show.
	7:46am The Butterman: Mr. Twit would put Super Sticky Glue on tree branches to catch birds for his bird pie. Filthy, nasty man.
	7:47am dday: ↳ dale @7:43 back when we had our farm there was an almost albino owl that used to be around. I'd see him dive into the corn fields from time to time to pluck out a mouse or rabbit. He was one big bird
	7:50am Amanda: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:44 That's a GREAT suggestion!
	7:51am dday: My little Drella cat is all ears up & looking around the room with that dog howling
	7:51am luka: gm animals
	7:52am Strandlund: 43 days until Spring begins...
	7:52am The Butterman: I’m pretty sure my cat , Foxy is deaf.
	7:54am Rick A: Good Morning Amanda, Jim the Poet, and Fellow Listeners, I'm loving the show as always. I emailed you about possibly adopting Chloe the cat. I am wondering if you received it.
	7:55am slugluv1313: ↳ Amanda @7:50 awww thank you Amanda! right now, there are a pair of Morning Doves hanging out on my fire escape (maybe bc it is warmer close to the building?) SO beautiful!!!
	7:57am dale: is it mr. peebles pet shop?
	7:57am jt: mourning dove or pigeon
	7:59am HyperDose: ↳ Strandlund @7:52 Says who? Some punk groundhog with a politically motivated agenda? More propaganda from big winter, eh! 🤪
	8:00am Pax: You don't have to be a heat seeking reptile in this solid frozen weather we're having 🦎🐍🐊🐢. All animals of any kind are seeking heat. Prime example, how many of us human members of the primate family are spending practicality all of are time inside. I know i am. Under the covers as I'm texting. 2° feels like -8°
	8:01am slugluv1313: ↳ luka @7:51 Bush Tetras: Snakes Crawl 💚🐍💚🐍💚
	8:02am S_Rah: Good mornin so fun to wake up to bad animals each week lately. So fun
	8:03am slugluv1313: ↳ jt @7:57 oops! MOURNING Doves (duh!)
	8:04am dday: ↳ The Butterman @7:52 I had a deaf cat. A runt of the litter from our little 5 lb. Siamese & an Angora male that manged to get to our girl before we had her altered. Her 3 kittens were an odd lot. One kitten was a long haired male with full Siamese markings, like his mom, who was short haired though, with blue eyes & he was cross eyed. (kept by my niece) One female kitten was short haired, all white with one blue eye & one green eye. (adopted out) The one kitten we kept was a male, all white, short haired, blue eyes & deaf. He wound up being a big guy. 39 inches nose to tail. Our vet told us short haired, white cats with blue eyes are usually deaf as it's a genetic deficiency thing. I mentioned to him the first time we had the kittens in that I thought he was deaf, & asked how can I tell? An old country vet , he said.."put down his food & let him begin eating. Then bang two pots together nearby. If he doesn't react...he's deaf." It worked.
	8:06am yippie: you can also call a "dove" a "turtle"
	8:06am Amanda: ↳ Rick A @7:54 Hi Rick! Yes! We got the email, thank you so much for following up here. Please check in again if you don't hear back this weekend.
	8:08am ronny: Jim...your our poet shop boy...
	8:08am Amanda: ↳ S_Rah @8:02 That is very sweet of you to say, thank you so so much. xo
	8:08am dday: ↳ dday @7:40 Friends of mine from AZ wrote & performed The King of The Hill theme song (called Yahoos & Triangles).
	8:11am Strandlund: ↳ HyperDose @7:59 No. Actually, it's some old Farmer with an almanac.
	8:11am Rick A: Thank you for responding so quickly, Amanda, will do. Our guy is on my lap now. Given his cries, we think he could use a companion.
	8:11am alan the painter: Good mooring bAd anaMals!
	8:12am HyperDose: ↳ Strandlund @8:11 Oh thank goodness. A farmer never tells a lie
	8:14am Kathleen from JC: Good morning, all! I hope everyone is cozy on this cold morning in the WFMU listening area. If you feed outdoor animals, please give them a little extra because it gives them more energy to keep themselves warm.
	8:14am melinda: ↳ dday @8:08 Cool! Love King of the Hill
	8:15am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "People w/Train Your Bird" by "Chico Hamilton" My cat meowed it back 😭💕
	8:20am dday: ↳ Song: "People w/Train Your Bird" by "Chico Hamilton" Chico had some heavy hitters in his bands over the years Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter,Richard Davis & others
	8:20am Pax: ↳ dday @8:08 I get the yahoo part, but i always thought that ting ting ting was spoon's tapping on a glass jar. Guess it was triangles. But in my mind it'll be jar's and spoons.
	8:21am slugluv1313: ↳ Kathleen from JC @8:14 good morning, Kathleen! thank you for this reminder! (I used to feed some of the feral/stray colonies here, and always put out a lot of extra when it was this cold 🐱🐱)
	8:21am John Dalton: Good Morning! John, the WFMU tech guy here. There will be a brief interruption of the audio streams while I monkey around with the internet. Don't panic if the audio stops. Wait about 15 seconds and restart your stream or hit play. Sorry for the inconvenience!
	8:21am dday: ↳ Pax @8:20 Could be. you'd have to ask Refreshments drummer PH Naffa about it
	8:24am Jim the Poet: thanks for all your efforts, John
	8:25am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Thank you for tweaking the backend, we appreciate you John Dalton!!!
	8:27am HyperDose: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Ace! 🎖️
	8:28am Listener Robert: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Thanks. Usually I listen via WMFU in the living room, but at this hour I like to stream it on this laptop to avoid awakening Don in the other bedroom.
	8:30am alan the painter: please list accompanying musician with Jamie!
	8:31am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Khao Sok Extension (excerpt)" by "Andrew Pekler" Khao Sok Extension is now on the wish list 💚💚💚
	8:32am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:31 Did ya get anything good yesterday for BC Friday?
	8:32am dale: hay has the seed heads in it. straw is bedding for cows and horses but they eat hay.
	8:32am Kathleen from JC: Straw is hollow stems and hat it the moist tip of the plant
	8:34am slugluv1313: YES! straw!!! thank you!!! (sez the goofball who always got this mixed up with hay 🤯🤯)
	8:34am Kathleen from JC: So much for trying to send a quick message. Hay is food as Amanda says. Straw is stems used for bedding.
	8:35am Strandlund: AWE!!!
	8:35am Jim the Poet: oh my god
	8:35am HyperDose: she is GAWGEOUS!!! 😍
	8:35am dday: We grew alfalfa (hay for horse feed) for a bit on the farm. itchy stuff. Straw is the stubble that is left after farmers harvest grains from plants like wheat, oats and rye. Farmers and ranchers use most straw for animal bedding. Square bales often sold in the fall for Halloween decorations are bales of straw. Straw can also be used as mulch for gardens and, in some cases, has even been used in walls of houses as insulation. Straw. If there's a Tractor Supply nearby (for you city farmers) they carry straw bales ilfbpartners.com...
	8:36am luka: ↳ Song: "Cookie" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" look at the BABY
	8:36am HyperDose: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:35 whispers softly "you want her. she is a good companion. you need her snuggles"
	8:36am slugluv1313: ↳ HyperDose @8:32 heya HD! no! did you? (if i had known BC Friday was back, i would have waited before buying a buncha stuff in January -- too broke now 😩😩)
	8:37am Amanda: ↳ alan the painter @8:30 ANTELOPER is Jaimie Branch, Jason Nazary and Jeff Parker <3
	8:37am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Cookie" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" omg COOKIE!!! she is so GLAMOROUS! 😻😻😻
	8:38am Pax: ↳ dday @8:21 Ok, dialing now. Hey PH, I gots me a question fer ya.. Huh!, What!. Well the same to Ya!. Click!. It seems I interrupted him in a recording session playing the spoons a triangle or something ' idk'. But got angry about It. Oh well ?.
	8:39am Amanda: Cookie is one glamour puss
	8:39am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:36 No, unfortunately. Need to make a new account so I can do a wishlist on there...instead of forgetting to jot down all the great recs I get from the WoofMoonity!
	8:40am dday: ↳ Pax @8:38 Hee hee..The Refreshments did that track a few years before I was lucky enough to work with Roger Clyne & PH & others on the first Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers CD "Honky Tonk Union" (98-99)
	8:43am slugluv1313: ↳ HyperDose @8:39 hah! yes i have a notebook with an ever-growing list, mostly garnered from WFMU -- but that bandcamp wishlist is soooo helpful
	8:45am Amanda: If pressed, I'd probably say this is my favorite Beatle Barkers cover.
	8:47am Pax: ↳ dday @8:40 So I gather your a session musician for hire ?
	8:48am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:43 So much easier to sort through physical notes than digital ones!
	8:55am dday: ↳ Pax @8:47 No sir. Engineering"student" at the time that RCPM CD was made. I worked on a version of the demos & 4 other cover tracks they used to do live, for the disc & got a thank you credit. Fun times I wound up coming back East (I owned a home in PA where I still live) & working for Chris Andersen at Nevessa Productions. Chris was Todd Rundgren's front of house guy for 11 years & Todd's right hand studio engineer when Todd isn't doing everything himself. His (Chris') studio was kind of on a rebound & I couldn't make ends meet financially working there, so I went back to doing commercial fire alarm systems repair & inspections
	8:55am Listener Robert: While we're thanking Mr. Dalton, I'd also like to thank Kenzo for making commenting here more interesting. Since he's off schedule I don't know if we can pledge "to him" -- assuming I have money in March.
	8:55am mike: oh long johnson, why my eyes ya... thank you Amanda and Jim for the show!
	8:55am Pax: ↳ Amanda @8:45 They sound more like seal's barking than dogs. Although in all likeliness it's probably a synthesizer key board. Just guessing.
	8:58am Amanda: Thanks everyone for joining us today!!!
	8:58am alan the painter: thank yoU!
	8:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Amanda & Jim. Weather like this will entice animals to start their hibernation, eh?
	8:59am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Amanda, Jim, Kathleen, and John Dalton!!!
	8:59am slugluv1313: thank you so much, Amanda and Jim, for another great show! so warm and comforting -- like fortification (for me, at least!) for dealing with all the truly bad stuff out there! 😻😻😻 have a great day and weekend, everyone! be well, stay safe, stay WARM!!!
	9:00am Pax: ↳ dday @8:55 Holy moly, most all that is over my head. But dang impressive
	9:01am dday: ↳ Pax @9:00 Thanks. As my friend bass legend Harvey Brooks says "right place, right time" Now retired from everything :) Stay warm if you're in a cold zone
	9:03am Pax: A vary cold zone. Thanks, stay warm yerself

	7:15am dday: I was at this carnival, just a few years ago No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol’ stuff you know And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent Man outside made a speech, and this is how it went “She walks, she talks, she crawls on her belly like a reptile” It was the same ol’ line, except for one part He said “It don’t cost no money, you gotta pay with your heart.” ‍‍ Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again David Bromberg - Sharon
	7:15am slugluv1313: ↳ dale @6:58 omg -- Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards? The Magician's Birthday? etc. (ok i TOTALLY hated them when i was a teenager -- esp. when "punk" started to bubble under the surface -- but NOW it is like i am totally obsessed 😹😹)
	7:18am SourLemons: ↳ Amanda @7:09 The song had the lyric "lookin' for a new life, away from vinyards pier", so that would seem reasonable.
	7:19am dale: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:15 as long as it's it's dragon-centric it's fair game.
	7:20am dday: ↳ Song: "Reptile" by "The Church" We saw The Church a few years back. The house was maybe 1/4 full. The band told everyone in the house to fill the seats on the floor so we did. Fine show

	7:35am ronny: crocodiles....lizards...and snakes...oh my.....
	7:35am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:26 so true! i loved Easy Livin' and Stealin', but for whatever reasons, just could not get into them the way i was into, say, ELP, other "prog" type stuff -- & i am sure having to sit through their set before The New York Dolls on one of the late night concert shows did not help! 😹😹 and yes! except for Box, that "classic" line-up is gone! back then too, i did not realize that Gary Thain was this incredibly interesting, amazing bass player
	7:36am dale: you need vitamin c and sunshine if you have crickets.
	7:38am WR: OMG. I personally fear snakes. Listening to this and my radiator just gave our with a big hiss and it scared the bejesus out of me.
	7:38am HyperDose: Staten Island kitties have that 'tude, man 😼🚬
	7:39am jt: the lizard of oz
	7:39am dday: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:35 They are still recording & touring though. A friend saw them in Atlantic City a few years back & said they were good
	7:40am slugluv1313: ↳ dale @7:19 plenty of demon-centric stuff, but no lizards :( i was in PR for a whopping four days, a little over 20 years ago -- totally fell in love with the Coquí and the little critters (Geckos?) hanging out on the walls outside 💚💚
	7:40am dday: This sounds like Hank Hill :)
	7:41am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:39 yes! that is what i hear!
	7:42am Strandlund: Good Morning all you animals!!
	7:42am dday: The crows are out on my compost pile chomping away on the cauliflower trimmings I put out after dinner yesterday
	7:43am dale: barred owl was right outside my bedroom window one night last summer calling to another. scared the heck out of me. dday - blue jays were in our compost this morning. for heat maybe.
	7:44am slugluv1313: Paula Abdul: Cold Hearted (Snake) 🐍🐍🐍
	7:44am dale: 'write to me and let me know if you were able to shoot any of these birds for your amusement.'
	7:45am slugluv1313: ↳ dday @7:42 awwww -- thank you for composting AND feeding the crows!
	7:46am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Maggie My Dog" by "Norma Tanega" Norma 😻😻😻
	7:46am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Samples of Wildlife Calling Sounds" by "Johnny St... That was before Mr. Stewart learned French and became a fixture on Trouble's show.
	7:46am The Butterman: Mr. Twit would put Super Sticky Glue on tree branches to catch birds for his bird pie. Filthy, nasty man.
	7:47am dday: ↳ dale @7:43 back when we had our farm there was an almost albino owl that used to be around. I'd see him dive into the corn fields from time to time to pluck out a mouse or rabbit. He was one big bird
	7:50am Amanda: ↳ slugluv1313 @7:44 That's a GREAT suggestion!
	7:51am dday: My little Drella cat is all ears up & looking around the room with that dog howling
	7:51am luka: gm animals
	7:52am Strandlund: 43 days until Spring begins...
	7:52am The Butterman: I’m pretty sure my cat , Foxy is deaf.
	7:54am Rick A: Good Morning Amanda, Jim the Poet, and Fellow Listeners, I'm loving the show as always. I emailed you about possibly adopting Chloe the cat. I am wondering if you received it.
	7:55am slugluv1313: ↳ Amanda @7:50 awww thank you Amanda! right now, there are a pair of Morning Doves hanging out on my fire escape (maybe bc it is warmer close to the building?) SO beautiful!!!
	7:57am dale: is it mr. peebles pet shop?
	7:57am jt: mourning dove or pigeon
	7:59am HyperDose: ↳ Strandlund @7:52 Says who? Some punk groundhog with a politically motivated agenda? More propaganda from big winter, eh! 🤪
	8:00am Pax: You don't have to be a heat seeking reptile in this solid frozen weather we're having 🦎🐍🐊🐢. All animals of any kind are seeking heat. Prime example, how many of us human members of the primate family are spending practicality all of are time inside. I know i am. Under the covers as I'm texting. 2° feels like -8°
	8:01am slugluv1313: ↳ luka @7:51 Bush Tetras: Snakes Crawl 💚🐍💚🐍💚
	8:02am S_Rah: Good mornin so fun to wake up to bad animals each week lately. So fun
	8:03am slugluv1313: ↳ jt @7:57 oops! MOURNING Doves (duh!)
	8:04am dday: ↳ The Butterman @7:52 I had a deaf cat. A runt of the litter from our little 5 lb. Siamese & an Angora male that manged to get to our girl before we had her altered. Her 3 kittens were an odd lot. One kitten was a long haired male with full Siamese markings, like his mom, who was short haired though, with blue eyes & he was cross eyed. (kept by my niece) One female kitten was short haired, all white with one blue eye & one green eye. (adopted out) The one kitten we kept was a male, all white, short haired, blue eyes & deaf. He wound up being a big guy. 39 inches nose to tail. Our vet told us short haired, white cats with blue eyes are usually deaf as it's a genetic deficiency thing. I mentioned to him the first time we had the kittens in that I thought he was deaf, & asked how can I tell? An old country vet , he said.."put down his food & let him begin eating. Then bang two pots together nearby. If he doesn't react...he's deaf." It worked.
	8:06am yippie: you can also call a "dove" a "turtle"
	8:06am Amanda: ↳ Rick A @7:54 Hi Rick! Yes! We got the email, thank you so much for following up here. Please check in again if you don't hear back this weekend.
	8:08am ronny: Jim...your our poet shop boy...
	8:08am Amanda: ↳ S_Rah @8:02 That is very sweet of you to say, thank you so so much. xo
	8:08am dday: ↳ dday @7:40 Friends of mine from AZ wrote & performed The King of The Hill theme song (called Yahoos & Triangles).
	8:11am Strandlund: ↳ HyperDose @7:59 No. Actually, it's some old Farmer with an almanac.
	8:11am Rick A: Thank you for responding so quickly, Amanda, will do. Our guy is on my lap now. Given his cries, we think he could use a companion.
	8:11am alan the painter: Good mooring bAd anaMals!
	8:12am HyperDose: ↳ Strandlund @8:11 Oh thank goodness. A farmer never tells a lie
	8:14am Kathleen from JC: Good morning, all! I hope everyone is cozy on this cold morning in the WFMU listening area. If you feed outdoor animals, please give them a little extra because it gives them more energy to keep themselves warm.
	8:14am melinda: ↳ dday @8:08 Cool! Love King of the Hill
	8:15am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "People w/Train Your Bird" by "Chico Hamilton" My cat meowed it back 😭💕
	8:20am dday: ↳ Song: "People w/Train Your Bird" by "Chico Hamilton" Chico had some heavy hitters in his bands over the years Gabor Szabo, Ron Carter,Richard Davis & others
	8:20am Pax: ↳ dday @8:08 I get the yahoo part, but i always thought that ting ting ting was spoon's tapping on a glass jar. Guess it was triangles. But in my mind it'll be jar's and spoons.
	8:21am slugluv1313: ↳ Kathleen from JC @8:14 good morning, Kathleen! thank you for this reminder! (I used to feed some of the feral/stray colonies here, and always put out a lot of extra when it was this cold 🐱🐱)
	8:21am John Dalton: Good Morning! John, the WFMU tech guy here. There will be a brief interruption of the audio streams while I monkey around with the internet. Don't panic if the audio stops. Wait about 15 seconds and restart your stream or hit play. Sorry for the inconvenience!
	8:21am dday: ↳ Pax @8:20 Could be. you'd have to ask Refreshments drummer PH Naffa about it
	8:24am Jim the Poet: thanks for all your efforts, John
	8:25am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Thank you for tweaking the backend, we appreciate you John Dalton!!!
	8:27am HyperDose: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Ace! 🎖️
	8:28am Listener Robert: ↳ John Dalton @8:21 Thanks. Usually I listen via WMFU in the living room, but at this hour I like to stream it on this laptop to avoid awakening Don in the other bedroom.
	8:30am alan the painter: please list accompanying musician with Jamie!
	8:31am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Khao Sok Extension (excerpt)" by "Andrew Pekler" Khao Sok Extension is now on the wish list 💚💚💚
	8:32am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:31 Did ya get anything good yesterday for BC Friday?
	8:32am dale: hay has the seed heads in it. straw is bedding for cows and horses but they eat hay.
	8:32am Kathleen from JC: Straw is hollow stems and hat it the moist tip of the plant
	8:34am slugluv1313: YES! straw!!! thank you!!! (sez the goofball who always got this mixed up with hay 🤯🤯)
	8:34am Kathleen from JC: So much for trying to send a quick message. Hay is food as Amanda says. Straw is stems used for bedding.
	8:35am Strandlund: AWE!!!
	8:35am Jim the Poet: oh my god
	8:35am HyperDose: she is GAWGEOUS!!! 😍
	8:35am dday: We grew alfalfa (hay for horse feed) for a bit on the farm. itchy stuff. Straw is the stubble that is left after farmers harvest grains from plants like wheat, oats and rye. Farmers and ranchers use most straw for animal bedding. Square bales often sold in the fall for Halloween decorations are bales of straw. Straw can also be used as mulch for gardens and, in some cases, has even been used in walls of houses as insulation. Straw. If there's a Tractor Supply nearby (for you city farmers) they carry straw bales ilfbpartners.com...
	8:36am luka: ↳ Song: "Cookie" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" look at the BABY
	8:36am HyperDose: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:35 whispers softly "you want her. she is a good companion. you need her snuggles"
	8:36am slugluv1313: ↳ HyperDose @8:32 heya HD! no! did you? (if i had known BC Friday was back, i would have waited before buying a buncha stuff in January -- too broke now 😩😩)
	8:37am Amanda: ↳ alan the painter @8:30 ANTELOPER is Jaimie Branch, Jason Nazary and Jeff Parker <3
	8:37am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Cookie" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" omg COOKIE!!! she is so GLAMOROUS! 😻😻😻
	8:38am Pax: ↳ dday @8:21 Ok, dialing now. Hey PH, I gots me a question fer ya.. Huh!, What!. Well the same to Ya!. Click!. It seems I interrupted him in a recording session playing the spoons a triangle or something ' idk'. But got angry about It. Oh well ?.
	8:39am Amanda: Cookie is one glamour puss
	8:39am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:36 No, unfortunately. Need to make a new account so I can do a wishlist on there...instead of forgetting to jot down all the great recs I get from the WoofMoonity!
	8:40am dday: ↳ Pax @8:38 Hee hee..The Refreshments did that track a few years before I was lucky enough to work with Roger Clyne & PH & others on the first Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers CD "Honky Tonk Union" (98-99)
	8:43am slugluv1313: ↳ HyperDose @8:39 hah! yes i have a notebook with an ever-growing list, mostly garnered from WFMU -- but that bandcamp wishlist is soooo helpful
	8:45am Amanda: If pressed, I'd probably say this is my favorite Beatle Barkers cover.
	8:47am Pax: ↳ dday @8:40 So I gather your a session musician for hire ?
	8:48am HyperDose: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:43 So much easier to sort through physical notes than digital ones!
	8:55am dday: ↳ Pax @8:47 No sir. Engineering"student" at the time that RCPM CD was made. I worked on a version of the demos & 4 other cover tracks they used to do live, for the disc & got a thank you credit. Fun times I wound up coming back East (I owned a home in PA where I still live) & working for Chris Andersen at Nevessa Productions. Chris was Todd Rundgren's front of house guy for 11 years & Todd's right hand studio engineer when Todd isn't doing everything himself. His (Chris') studio was kind of on a rebound & I couldn't make ends meet financially working there, so I went back to doing commercial fire alarm systems repair & inspections
	8:55am Listener Robert: While we're thanking Mr. Dalton, I'd also like to thank Kenzo for making commenting here more interesting. Since he's off schedule I don't know if we can pledge "to him" -- assuming I have money in March.
	8:55am mike: oh long johnson, why my eyes ya... thank you Amanda and Jim for the show!
	8:55am Pax: ↳ Amanda @8:45 They sound more like seal's barking than dogs. Although in all likeliness it's probably a synthesizer key board. Just guessing.
	8:58am Amanda: Thanks everyone for joining us today!!!
	8:58am alan the painter: thank yoU!
	8:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Amanda & Jim. Weather like this will entice animals to start their hibernation, eh?
	8:59am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Amanda, Jim, Kathleen, and John Dalton!!!
	8:59am slugluv1313: thank you so much, Amanda and Jim, for another great show! so warm and comforting -- like fortification (for me, at least!) for dealing with all the truly bad stuff out there! 😻😻😻 have a great day and weekend, everyone! be well, stay safe, stay WARM!!!
	9:00am Pax: ↳ dday @8:55 Holy moly, most all that is over my head. But dang impressive
	9:01am dday: ↳ Pax @9:00 Thanks. As my friend bass legend Harvey Brooks says "right place, right time" Now retired from everything :) Stay warm if you're in a cold zone
	9:03am Pax: A vary cold zone. Thanks, stay warm yerself
