Listener comments!
	11:52am Alex In Illinois: I am guessing Argentina again
	🚂 11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~~ Good ♃Thursday FMUvianz ~
	🚂 11:59am Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and seekers! Managed to grab a roti before rushing to catch the train!
	12:02pm David Dichelle: Greetings and bon appetit, Alex, RRN, Handy!
	🚂 12:02pm Diana in Hungary: Greetings, David and all the riders! Looking forward to the rumbling and scenery! My guess today is Georgia.
	🚂 12:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Is There Life After Breakfast?" by "Los Microwaves" We are friends with an excellent band in whom I hear definite echoes of this Los Microwaves song. Is this representative of their sound?
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I didn't get to hear the intro theme. There was some throat singing that stopped and went silent. Then I had to click "Pause" then "play" on the pop-up player. At least I am hearing most of the 1st song.
	🚂 12:03pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Song: "Is There Life After Breakfast?" by "Los Microwaves" This reminds me at once of the B-52s and Cibo Matto. Lots of fun!
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Diana in Hungary @12:03 . . . and a little bit of Plastics
	🚂 12:04pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Salutations Diana and Chresti!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: ↳ Alex In Illinois @12:03 That is odd. I wonder what happened.
	🚂 12:04pm chresti: Belize
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there David and all other listeners!
	🚂 12:06pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets all. Late start, working late today....
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: And the Random Road Random Guess Random Generator randomly generates the Random Road random guess of ... Argentina! I'm in!
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @12:04 Hi crestikins!
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Andrew and Threemoons!
	🚂 12:07pm Yvang: Hi David & voyageurs!
	🚂 12:08pm Michael 98145: Hello, Happy Travelers. Don't fall.
	12:08pm David Dichelle: And welcome Yvang and Michael!
	🚂 12:09pm Yvang: Peru? What do I have to lose?
	🚂 12:09pm Carmichael: Los Microwaves is spanish for "The Microwaves." Trying to help. Heya David and ol' buddies.
	12:11pm David Dichelle: Hola Carmichael!
	🚂 12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 ...good you clarified - wouldn't wanna be misinterpreted as committing Micro aggressions...
	12:12pm melinda: hi friends
	12:12pm David Dichelle: ↳ melinda @12:12 Hello, Melinda!
	🚂 12:13pm Yvang: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 Gracias para el tip!
	12:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:13 Hi Yvang!
	🚂 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Dam Dam" by "Aris San" Couple in a row I preclicked from BodegaPop. Certainly good to hear those once more.
	12:15pm TDK60: David -Oh my, I keep on forgetting it's Thursday. But, at least in time for Roudyness. David -Ho, mi daŭre forgesas, ke estas ĵaŭdo. Sed, almenaŭ ĝustatempe por Roudyness.
	🚂 12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 Needed that Cali perspective to make it all make sense! Oh, also, Carmichael, it's looking more and more like K8 and I might end up taking a train up the CA coast this year, stopping in several places along the way. If it happens, we will definitely be in Davis for a few days.
	12:15pm David Dichelle: Bonvenon, TDK60!
	12:16pm still b/p: Whatever country will be, will be. And in quantum mishigas, it's every possible country in every possible moment anyway, right? Why guess? Whyyyyy?
	12:17pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Song: "Ich danke dir, mein Herz" by "Kibardin Quartett" This sounds like someone has a Bandoneon.
	12:18pm TDK60: The Roud will have three names today. And, I'm sticking with Suriname for the Road.
	12:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @12:18 Hello TDK60!
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 Sweet. That's a 15-20 minute drive for me. Let me know the where and when.
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @12:20 It's a plan!
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: Oh, and all my pals live in Nepal.
	12:21pm spodiodi: good morning, etc, David and riders!
	12:21pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "A U Hinny Burd" by "Maureen Craik" go mo - loved this
	12:22pm TDK60: Hi Andrew.
	🚂 12:23pm Handy Haversack: If you're gonna ride Ride the Roud wren
	🚂 12:23pm chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	🚂 12:23pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 That should be a fun trip! Never done that ...
	12:24pm spodiodi: happy wren day
	🚂 12:25pm Handy Haversack: The Amtrak deal is shockingly reasonable: 7 days of travel within 21 days on the CA routes for $150! We're aiming for Seattle for K8's dad's 80th bday and figured we should see some people along the way since it would already mean likely can't do a canoeing trip to Maine, as has become our habit.
	🚂 12:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 That sounds cool. Never did a sleeper car before!
	12:25pm TDK60: Ah, Hunting the Wren. There's a fine rendition by Robin Williamson.
	🚂 12:25pm Handy Haversack: Saint Helena, Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha Already eliminated from contention!
	🚂 12:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:25 I don't know that we will either? I guess the longest stretch would be Davis to Portland -- but maybe we'll stop someplace along the way!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Hi Handy!
	🚂 12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Hunting the Wren" by "Steeleye Span" Sounds a little like "Bottle of Smoke"!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:21 hiya spodi!
	🚂 12:27pm Jetio: ↳ Song: "Hunting the Wren" by "Steeleye Span" #1 Roud artist Steeleye Span! Hi everyone, I'm here, just trying to focus on work ...
	12:28pm David Dichelle: Quantum greetings, still b/p and spodiodi!
	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:27 Hey, Andrew!
	🚂 12:28pm dutchtheo: Hallo David and the wrendom subway span!
	12:28pm TDK60: FOUR Roud names today. I'd said three. But I'm okay with this four thing.
	12:28pm David Dichelle: ↳ Jetio @12:27 And welcome, Jetio and Dutchtheo!
	🚂 12:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Sounds like quite a bargain! Like those Eurail passes. (i guess those still exist)
	12:28pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. OK, Brazil---after 110 random road countries, this must be the week.
	12:29pm David Dichelle: And hello Sem!
	12:29pm Sem: And hello, the Span!
	🚂 12:29pm Jetio: Hi Handy. Are you starting on the East Coast?
	12:29pm TDK60: ↳ Sem @12:28 Sem, when that happens, David will have work cut out for him, as severe editor.
	🚂 12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jetio @12:29 I figure we're mostly like to fly to LA or San Diego and go from there? I have to figure it's cheaper, though maybe I'm operating on old information.
	🚂 12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:26 You could stop in Yreka and visit the bakery: Yreka Bakery is a palindrome!
	🚂 12:31pm Michael 98145: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 And probably seeing a bit of snowfall this week ...
	12:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:29 Greets Sem!
	🚂 12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 Given the imbecilic prices of just flying NYC to ATL.
	🚂 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Always wanted to ride the train ! Good to hear it's not pricrey - always heard it kinda was !
	12:33pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 That's a cool palindrome, but how are the scones ? Hello from -10f
	🚂 12:34pm Jetio: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 It's a long ride on the train all the way across the continent, esp. without a sleeper car! (although you do get to see a lot and meet people you'd never meet otherwise). You are wise to fly.
	12:34pm David Dichelle: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 Hello Hubig!
	🚂 12:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Little Wren" by "You Are Wolf" You Are Wolf Rouded last week, too, I think. Might have to explore them further!
	🚂 12:35pm Michael 98145: can't wait for that Hyperloop. Snort.
	🚂 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jetio @12:34 Wull I rode the Greyhound Cali to NewHampshuh. Anything but that again...
	12:35pm David Dichelle: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 Yes, You has been well represented lately.
	🚂 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just up every stop in California is considerable...
	🚂 12:36pm Michael 98145: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 ( hope you aren't frozen in place )
	12:36pm TDK60: David, you'd be tickled. Last night at an open mic, I turned a younger person onto Steeleye Span.
	🚂 12:36pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 I'd like to explore them further too.
	🚂 12:36pm Jetio: haha the Span AGAIN!
	12:37pm David Dichelle: ↳ TDK60 @12:36 A good deed!
	🚂 12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jetio @12:36 David's just playing what there is! It's not HIS fault the Span threw a Wren chere!
	12:40pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:31 Hiya, AiT!
	12:42pm TDK60: ↳ David Dichelle @12:37 David, I've been singing Saucy Sailor, based a bit on the Steeleye version. (And flubbing the guitar pickin' intro in public. Hee!)
	🚂 12:42pm WR: ↳ Song: "A U Hinny Burd" by "Maureen Craik" Hi David and trans continental riders. Been searching because I can't accept that the Unthanks haven't recorded such a Northumbrian swell tune.
	🚂 12:43pm WR: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Sounds nice Handy, Amtrak does sometimes have great deals.
	12:44pm David Dichelle: ↳ WR @12:42 Hey there, WR!
	12:44pm David Dichelle: ↳ TDK60 @12:42 Sounds great!
	🚂 12:44pm Jetio: "The wren is known as the King of the Birds, because there is a fable in which a competition takes place to decide which bird is supreme. It is decided that he that flies highest is the monarch. The wren craftily hitches a ride on the back of the eagle and wins" - mainlynorfolk.info...
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Hello Commuters!
	🚂 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when I think back to only knowing 'Blacksmith' by Steeleye (yet already being enchanted) - I may be most grateful for this Train & the myriad places it's shown me indeed...
	12:46pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @12:45 Hello Dr. J.!
	12:46pm Sem: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 Handy, did the AMTRAK from Vancouver to SF years ago. When it wasn't dark the views were excellent.
	🚂 12:48pm Handy Haversack: There must be some kind of metaphor at work. Not enough meat on a wren to make all this effort worth it, let alone the use of knife and fork! Nice, Sem! I hope to get back to BC one of these years as well.
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:45 Hiya doc!
	🚂 12:49pm Carmichael: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 No idea. Actually, you could throw a rock from on end of town to the other.
	🚂 12:51pm Carmichael: Here's an explanation from the Mainly Norfolk site: "Dating from the 14th Century, this song was almost certainly a magical or totem song. In the opinion of A.L. Lloyd it took on a strong revolutionary meaning during the peasants' revolt 1381. In countless legends the wren features as a tyrant and it would seem that, in this song, it became the symbol of baronial property, for which preparation for the seizure and redistribution to the peasants was to be carried out in the greatest secrecy. Hence the symbolism and hidden meaning."
	🚂 12:51pm Jetio: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:48 "The Ian Campbell Folk Group sang The Cutty Wren in 1962 on their Topic EP Songs of Protest. A.L. Lloyd had a somewhat far-fetched explanation in the sleeve notes: Some of the most ancient, most enduring and at the same time most mysterious English folk songs are those concerned with the attributes and sacrifice of monstrous animals. At the end of the 14th century, when peasant rebellion was in the air, the old magical song of the gigantically powerful bird (presented by a kind of folklore irony as a tiny wren) took on a tinge of new meaning. For here was the story of a great fowl so hard to seize, so difficult to dismember but so apt for sharing among the poor; and what did that suggest but a symbol of seignorial property?" [op cit]
	🚂 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Billy Barlow" by "Matthew Sabatella and the Rambl... Sounds like LoudonWainright
	🚂 12:52pm Carmichael: We're on the same site, Jetio!
	🚂 12:52pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 Where is Yreka?
	12:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:48 Hi Andrew!
	🚂 12:53pm Handy Haversack: Lazy sod's research library: just wait for someone else on the chatboard to do it! Thanks, Carmichael, Jetio.
	12:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Dichelle @12:46 Any Marathon plans?
	12:53pm northguineahills: Got here for a roud round!
	12:53pm David Dichelle: ↳ Song: "Hunting the Cutty Wren" by "The Mrs Ackroyd Band" Here's the explanation.
	🚂 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So much Power in such a small Locus, maybes.
	12:54pm Mr. Oxford: Hello All! Is the picture of today's show from Germany?
	🚂 12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BigBoss Man - you ain't so big, just tall that's all (?)...
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Welcome NGH and Mr. Oxford - yes the pictures are usually from here in Leipzig.
	🚂 12:55pm Carmichael: ↳ chresti @12:52 Up I-5, close to the Oregon border. Exit point for the Pacific Crest Trail, so lots of sketchy drifters.
	🚂 12:55pm Handy Haversack: A surprising number of those fourteenth-century Toyotas are still on the road.
	🚂 12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sem @12:46 Dream of such.
	12:56pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ David Dichelle @12:54 Thanks, David! I visited Leipzig once during Christmas. T'was a merry city with a merry christmas market.
	12:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 they were also favored for light calvary charges by irregular hedge knights....
	12:56pm TDK60: ↳ Jetio @12:51 David, wonderful Wren set here! If you've never heard, Robin Williamson's album "Winter's Turning" features "Hunting the Wren." The album is traditional-ancient British winter songs. 1986, Flying Fish records. His version resembles most The Mrs. Ackroyd Band version here. (Reminder, R.W. was a singer in Incredible String Band, in albums of yore.)
	🚂 12:57pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @12:55 Oh yes, I can imagine. I probably went through there when I hitchiked to Portland.
	12:57pm spodiodi: aloha, Andrew!
	🚂 12:58pm Jetio: Continental Subway Roud Index wfmu-listener.github.io...
	12:59pm Hubig Pie: I drove thru Yreka on my way to Coast Guard Training base Petaluma for cook school in '84
	12:59pm Sem: ↳ Carmichael @12:55 Local guy here is going for the Triple: Appalachian Trail and Continental Divide trails completed since 2019. Last year, 2 months into the Pacific Crest hike, he broke bones in his foot. We walk some of the same routes here, looks like he's getting ready to pick up where he left off...driven guy, yah?
	🚂 12:59pm chresti: ↳ chresti @12:57 I think I remember wondering if it was related to Eureka.
	🚂 1:00pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:13 Hi Andrew!
	1:04pm David Dichelle: ↳ Mr. Oxford @12:56 Glad you got to visit, Mr. Oxford!
	1:04pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Nasnusa" by "Sababa 5 & Yurika Hanashima" Lovely music.
	🚂 1:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Sem @12:59 I walked the extra five blocks to pick up a roti today and was pretty proud of myself! Yowza.
	1:05pm David Dichelle: ↳ Jetio @12:58 Thanks as ever, Jetio!
	🚂 1:05pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 Did K8 get that job?
	1:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, David and subway denizens.
	1:06pm Sem: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 We all have to start somewhere, Handy. From small acorns...
	1:08pm David Dichelle: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:06 Hey there, Ken!
	🚂 1:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:05 Alas, no. Runner up. It's their loss, that's for sure -- she would have been perfect for it. It was a little frustrating -- jobs like that just don't come along. And we could have used the money, that's for sure. But she spent a day upset and then just roared back into her five current jobs and general kicking of ass and taking of names.
	1:08pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @12:53 No Marathon travel plans this year, alas.
	1:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Olurmu Dersin" by "Şatellites, feat. Vicky Ashken... Like this!
	1:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Dichelle @1:08 Too bad, waiting to see you belt out Heartbreak Hotel at the finale...
	🚂 1:11pm Carmichael: ↳ chresti @12:59 A common question, but no. Mark Twain talked about it long ago.
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: Greetings David and Freedom Riders
	1:12pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @1:10 Haha, I will take that selection into consideration for next time :)
	1:12pm David Dichelle: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:12 Salutations, Coel!
	🚂 1:13pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:08 Sorry. Sounds like she is plenty busy, anyway! BTW, you could rent a canoe on Lake Washington when you are up here ...
	🚂 1:14pm Carmichael: ↳ Sem @12:59 Needs medical help, Sem. 🙃 I ran a marathon once just to say I did, but I have no plans to run the Squaw Valley-Auburn 100 mile endurance run ...
	🚂 1:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:13 I imagine we might! It's been quite a while since I have been out your way in the summertime.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Dichelle @1:12 At your discretion, of course...
	1:16pm Sem: ↳ Carmichael @1:14 He's a driven guy, Carm. When I see him on the road, I always say "How's it going?" He always says the same thing: "I've never had a bad day in my life."
	1:18pm Mr. Oxford: Really loving this set
	🚂 1:18pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Song: "El Fen" by "Ait Meslayene" Wow, this is great.
	1:18pm Will in Norman: you shoulda played chumbawamba's version of the cutty wren!
	1:19pm Franco Twinkie: Hi David! Dance time in the kitchen. It's to cold to be outside.
	🚂 1:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Sem @1:16 "... Good, n'you?"
	1:19pm doctorjazz: Almost had a May visit to Poland (a fun Holocaust tour), but it fell through...
	1:21pm David Dichelle: Welcome Will and Franco!
	🚂 1:21pm Carmichael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 Got down to freezing last night on the valley floor. Supposed to warm up a little for the rain.
	1:21pm David Dichelle: ↳ Will in Norman @1:18 Yes, there were many more as well.
	1:22pm Hubig Pie: Temp has dropped to -11f in my 'hood. That's -24c for you continental types
	🚂 1:22pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Song: "Howa Saheh Elhawa Ghallab" by "Ammar El Sheraie" And this....
	1:22pm David Dichelle: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:22 That is cold enough to shake several sticks at.
	🚂 1:23pm chresti: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 It's not that cold, 45 F! Perfect!
	1:23pm Hubig Pie: Is that right ? I just copied that offa wx service page
	🚂 1:23pm Michael 98145: - another fine show today! -
	1:24pm David Dichelle: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:23 Thanks, Michael!
	🚂 1:25pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Song: "Howa Saheh Elhawa Ghallab" by "Ammar El Sheraie" This is insanely beautiful melodically with all those microtonal pitches.
	🚂 1:25pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @1:19 Highly recommend visiting Kraków -
	1:25pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ doctorjazz @1:19 Almost. We were in Prague during the coldest Winter in years. We were going to go to Poland, but when we found out it was even colder in Warsaw, we decided to go home instead.
	🚂 1:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:25 There's a lakes district in NE Poland that I really want to visit. You can paddle from hotel to hotel!
	🚂 1:26pm chresti: ↳ chresti @1:23 Saturday will be the coldest, after rain takes a break. The air is clean for a change!
	1:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:25 Hiya Franco!
	1:28pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:19 Franco, time for double pajama slacks.
	1:29pm Franco Twinkie: Andrew, you'd be walking around in a bathing suit if you were in L.A. right now - 'Cold, what cold?'
	🚂 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An uninteresting 25℉ here NewHampshuh - but we're promised some Weather coming right up... I simply love traditional Arab Musics - & that is that...
	1:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:29 I like the sounds of that!
	🚂 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's a sloppy mess out the window in fact...
	🚂 1:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Mhaw Sayar" by "Lay Lay War" Yeah! I sang this (in English) at karaoke on Sunday! This is my jam!
	1:36pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:35 What is the English version called?
	1:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @1:28 Noted - double up on everything.
	1:36pm Hubig Pie: Allow me to translate - Mhaw Sayar = Magic Man Or that might not be right
	🚂 1:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:36 "Magic Man," by Heart.
	🚂 1:37pm Michael 98145: magic
	1:37pm coelacanth∅: wow, good version of magic man!

	🚂 1:44pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Ashyaneh" by "Fereydoon Farrokhzad" catchy!
	🚂 1:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @1:41 No, not me. K8's off visiting her folks in Seattle -- back tomorrow. I guess it's sort of a semi-feral holiday, just me and the Monsters in the apartment.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Seen the Broadway Fiddler, and the all Yiddish version, great show!
	1:46pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @1:45 That sounds like great fun!
	1:50pm Stanley: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:44 You and the animals doing your thing for a few days.
	1:51pm Mr. Oxford: That was a magical set.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:44 What"monsters"? If it's kids, that's no vacation...
	🚂 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mr. Oxford @1:51 Great !

	1:53pm coelacanth∅: no, burkina faso

	1:53pm Hubig Pie: When the cat's away , the mice will play
	🚂 1:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:53 That was my guess the past two weeks!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: japan would be nice (except the chipmunk bubblegum pop!)
	1:56pm Stanley: Sudan!

Listener comments!
	11:52am Alex In Illinois: I am guessing Argentina again
	🚂 11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~~ Good ♃Thursday FMUvianz ~
	🚂 11:59am Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and seekers! Managed to grab a roti before rushing to catch the train!
	12:02pm David Dichelle: Greetings and bon appetit, Alex, RRN, Handy!
	🚂 12:02pm Diana in Hungary: Greetings, David and all the riders! Looking forward to the rumbling and scenery! My guess today is Georgia.
	🚂 12:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Is There Life After Breakfast?" by "Los Microwaves" We are friends with an excellent band in whom I hear definite echoes of this Los Microwaves song. Is this representative of their sound?
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: I didn't get to hear the intro theme. There was some throat singing that stopped and went silent. Then I had to click "Pause" then "play" on the pop-up player. At least I am hearing most of the 1st song.
	🚂 12:03pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Song: "Is There Life After Breakfast?" by "Los Microwaves" This reminds me at once of the B-52s and Cibo Matto. Lots of fun!
	12:03pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Diana in Hungary @12:03 . . . and a little bit of Plastics
	🚂 12:04pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Salutations Diana and Chresti!
	12:04pm David Dichelle: ↳ Alex In Illinois @12:03 That is odd. I wonder what happened.
	🚂 12:04pm chresti: Belize
	12:06pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there David and all other listeners!
	🚂 12:06pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets all. Late start, working late today....
	🚂 12:06pm Handy Haversack: And the Random Road Random Guess Random Generator randomly generates the Random Road random guess of ... Argentina! I'm in!
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @12:04 Hi crestikins!
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Andrew and Threemoons!
	🚂 12:07pm Yvang: Hi David & voyageurs!
	🚂 12:08pm Michael 98145: Hello, Happy Travelers. Don't fall.
	12:08pm David Dichelle: And welcome Yvang and Michael!
	🚂 12:09pm Yvang: Peru? What do I have to lose?
	🚂 12:09pm Carmichael: Los Microwaves is spanish for "The Microwaves." Trying to help. Heya David and ol' buddies.
	12:11pm David Dichelle: Hola Carmichael!
	🚂 12:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 ...good you clarified - wouldn't wanna be misinterpreted as committing Micro aggressions...
	12:12pm melinda: hi friends
	12:12pm David Dichelle: ↳ melinda @12:12 Hello, Melinda!
	🚂 12:13pm Yvang: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 Gracias para el tip!
	12:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:13 Hi Yvang!
	🚂 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Dam Dam" by "Aris San" Couple in a row I preclicked from BodegaPop. Certainly good to hear those once more.
	12:15pm TDK60: David -Oh my, I keep on forgetting it's Thursday. But, at least in time for Roudyness. David -Ho, mi daŭre forgesas, ke estas ĵaŭdo. Sed, almenaŭ ĝustatempe por Roudyness.
	🚂 12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @12:09 Needed that Cali perspective to make it all make sense! Oh, also, Carmichael, it's looking more and more like K8 and I might end up taking a train up the CA coast this year, stopping in several places along the way. If it happens, we will definitely be in Davis for a few days.
	12:15pm David Dichelle: Bonvenon, TDK60!
	12:16pm still b/p: Whatever country will be, will be. And in quantum mishigas, it's every possible country in every possible moment anyway, right? Why guess? Whyyyyy?
	12:17pm Alex In Illinois: ↳ Song: "Ich danke dir, mein Herz" by "Kibardin Quartett" This sounds like someone has a Bandoneon.
	12:18pm TDK60: The Roud will have three names today. And, I'm sticking with Suriname for the Road.
	12:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @12:18 Hello TDK60!
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 Sweet. That's a 15-20 minute drive for me. Let me know the where and when.
	🚂 12:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @12:20 It's a plan!
	🚂 12:20pm Carmichael: Oh, and all my pals live in Nepal.

	🚂 12:23pm chresti: Hi Andrewkins!
	🚂 12:23pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 That should be a fun trip! Never done that ...
	12:24pm spodiodi: happy wren day
	🚂 12:25pm Handy Haversack: The Amtrak deal is shockingly reasonable: 7 days of travel within 21 days on the CA routes for $150! We're aiming for Seattle for K8's dad's 80th bday and figured we should see some people along the way since it would already mean likely can't do a canoeing trip to Maine, as has become our habit.
	🚂 12:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 That sounds cool. Never did a sleeper car before!
	12:25pm TDK60: Ah, Hunting the Wren. There's a fine rendition by Robin Williamson.
	🚂 12:25pm Handy Haversack: Saint Helena, Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha Already eliminated from contention!
	🚂 12:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:25 I don't know that we will either? I guess the longest stretch would be Davis to Portland -- but maybe we'll stop someplace along the way!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Hi Handy!
	🚂 12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Hunting the Wren" by "Steeleye Span" Sounds a little like "Bottle of Smoke"!
	12:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:21 hiya spodi!
	🚂 12:27pm Jetio: ↳ Song: "Hunting the Wren" by "Steeleye Span" #1 Roud artist Steeleye Span! Hi everyone, I'm here, just trying to focus on work ...
	12:28pm David Dichelle: Quantum greetings, still b/p and spodiodi!
	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:27 Hey, Andrew!
	🚂 12:28pm dutchtheo: Hallo David and the wrendom subway span!
	12:28pm TDK60: FOUR Roud names today. I'd said three. But I'm okay with this four thing.
	12:28pm David Dichelle: ↳ Jetio @12:27 And welcome, Jetio and Dutchtheo!
	🚂 12:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Sounds like quite a bargain! Like those Eurail passes. (i guess those still exist)
	12:28pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. OK, Brazil---after 110 random road countries, this must be the week.
	12:29pm David Dichelle: And hello Sem!
	12:29pm Sem: And hello, the Span!
	🚂 12:29pm Jetio: Hi Handy. Are you starting on the East Coast?
	12:29pm TDK60: ↳ Sem @12:28 Sem, when that happens, David will have work cut out for him, as severe editor.
	🚂 12:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jetio @12:29 I figure we're mostly like to fly to LA or San Diego and go from there? I have to figure it's cheaper, though maybe I'm operating on old information.
	🚂 12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:26 You could stop in Yreka and visit the bakery: Yreka Bakery is a palindrome!
	🚂 12:31pm Michael 98145: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 And probably seeing a bit of snowfall this week ...
	12:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:29 Greets Sem!
	🚂 12:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 Given the imbecilic prices of just flying NYC to ATL.
	🚂 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Always wanted to ride the train ! Good to hear it's not pricrey - always heard it kinda was !
	12:33pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 That's a cool palindrome, but how are the scones ? Hello from -10f
	🚂 12:34pm Jetio: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:30 It's a long ride on the train all the way across the continent, esp. without a sleeper car! (although you do get to see a lot and meet people you'd never meet otherwise). You are wise to fly.
	12:34pm David Dichelle: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 Hello Hubig!
	🚂 12:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Little Wren" by "You Are Wolf" You Are Wolf Rouded last week, too, I think. Might have to explore them further!
	🚂 12:35pm Michael 98145: can't wait for that Hyperloop. Snort.
	🚂 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jetio @12:34 Wull I rode the Greyhound Cali to NewHampshuh. Anything but that again...
	12:35pm David Dichelle: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 Yes, You has been well represented lately.
	🚂 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just up every stop in California is considerable...
	🚂 12:36pm Michael 98145: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 ( hope you aren't frozen in place )
	12:36pm TDK60: David, you'd be tickled. Last night at an open mic, I turned a younger person onto Steeleye Span.
	🚂 12:36pm Diana in Hungary: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 I'd like to explore them further too.
	🚂 12:36pm Jetio: haha the Span AGAIN!
	12:37pm David Dichelle: ↳ TDK60 @12:36 A good deed!
	🚂 12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jetio @12:36 David's just playing what there is! It's not HIS fault the Span threw a Wren chere!
	12:40pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:31 Hiya, AiT!
	12:42pm TDK60: ↳ David Dichelle @12:37 David, I've been singing Saucy Sailor, based a bit on the Steeleye version. (And flubbing the guitar pickin' intro in public. Hee!)
	🚂 12:42pm WR: ↳ Song: "A U Hinny Burd" by "Maureen Craik" Hi David and trans continental riders. Been searching because I can't accept that the Unthanks haven't recorded such a Northumbrian swell tune.
	🚂 12:43pm WR: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:25 Sounds nice Handy, Amtrak does sometimes have great deals.
	12:44pm David Dichelle: ↳ WR @12:42 Hey there, WR!
	12:44pm David Dichelle: ↳ TDK60 @12:42 Sounds great!
	🚂 12:44pm Jetio: "The wren is known as the King of the Birds, because there is a fable in which a competition takes place to decide which bird is supreme. It is decided that he that flies highest is the monarch. The wren craftily hitches a ride on the back of the eagle and wins" - mainlynorfolk.info...
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Hello Commuters!
	🚂 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when I think back to only knowing 'Blacksmith' by Steeleye (yet already being enchanted) - I may be most grateful for this Train & the myriad places it's shown me indeed...
	12:46pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @12:45 Hello Dr. J.!
	12:46pm Sem: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 Handy, did the AMTRAK from Vancouver to SF years ago. When it wasn't dark the views were excellent.
	🚂 12:48pm Handy Haversack: There must be some kind of metaphor at work. Not enough meat on a wren to make all this effort worth it, let alone the use of knife and fork! Nice, Sem! I hope to get back to BC one of these years as well.
	12:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:45 Hiya doc!
	🚂 12:49pm Carmichael: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:33 No idea. Actually, you could throw a rock from on end of town to the other.
	🚂 12:51pm Carmichael: Here's an explanation from the Mainly Norfolk site: "Dating from the 14th Century, this song was almost certainly a magical or totem song. In the opinion of A.L. Lloyd it took on a strong revolutionary meaning during the peasants' revolt 1381. In countless legends the wren features as a tyrant and it would seem that, in this song, it became the symbol of baronial property, for which preparation for the seizure and redistribution to the peasants was to be carried out in the greatest secrecy. Hence the symbolism and hidden meaning."
	🚂 12:51pm Jetio: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:48 "The Ian Campbell Folk Group sang The Cutty Wren in 1962 on their Topic EP Songs of Protest. A.L. Lloyd had a somewhat far-fetched explanation in the sleeve notes: Some of the most ancient, most enduring and at the same time most mysterious English folk songs are those concerned with the attributes and sacrifice of monstrous animals. At the end of the 14th century, when peasant rebellion was in the air, the old magical song of the gigantically powerful bird (presented by a kind of folklore irony as a tiny wren) took on a tinge of new meaning. For here was the story of a great fowl so hard to seize, so difficult to dismember but so apt for sharing among the poor; and what did that suggest but a symbol of seignorial property?" [op cit]
	🚂 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Billy Barlow" by "Matthew Sabatella and the Rambl... Sounds like LoudonWainright

	12:56pm TDK60: ↳ Jetio @12:51 David, wonderful Wren set here! If you've never heard, Robin Williamson's album "Winter's Turning" features "Hunting the Wren." The album is traditional-ancient British winter songs. 1986, Flying Fish records. His version resembles most The Mrs. Ackroyd Band version here. (Reminder, R.W. was a singer in Incredible String Band, in albums of yore.)
	🚂 12:57pm chresti: ↳ Carmichael @12:55 Oh yes, I can imagine. I probably went through there when I hitchiked to Portland.

	🚂 1:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:05 Alas, no. Runner up. It's their loss, that's for sure -- she would have been perfect for it. It was a little frustrating -- jobs like that just don't come along. And we could have used the money, that's for sure. But she spent a day upset and then just roared back into her five current jobs and general kicking of ass and taking of names.
	1:08pm David Dichelle: ↳ doctorjazz @12:53 No Marathon travel plans this year, alas.

	1:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ David Dichelle @1:12 At your discretion, of course...
	1:16pm Sem: ↳ Carmichael @1:14 He's a driven guy, Carm. When I see him on the road, I always say "How's it going?" He always says the same thing: "I've never had a bad day in my life."
