	♥ 1:06pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Krys and Coasters! Krys, I'm in the middle of cast-iron-pan rehab based on what you sent me. You rock!
	♥ 1:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:06 Great! Hi, Handy!
	♥ 1:07pm chresti: The most alcohol I consume these days would be from herbal tinctures
	♥ 1:08pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:06 Is that with coarse salt and oil?
	♥ 1:09pm WR: Hello Krys, Streamers.
	♥ 1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @1:07 👍
	♥ 1:10pm Krys O.: Hello, WR!
	♥ 1:11pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @1:09 I learned that from a Cook's Illustrated magazine.
	♥ 1:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Give the Woman a Chance" by "Sweet Charles" This is composed by James Brown, Charles Sherrell, and Fred Wesley.
	♥ 1:12pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @1:11 I used to subscribe to that and I watched their show on PBS.
	♥ 1:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @1:08 www.sfgate.com... Vinegar bath, steel wool and baking soda scrub. Now I'm going to oil it and bake it. Should I add salt?
	♥ 1:13pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 I use salt or baking soda occasionally, but a good brush can suffice.
	♥ 1:14pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 Is stressed kitten hair advised?
	♥ 1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 The fact that you are using steel wool on the rust is AOK.
	♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:14 Well, advised or not, it's the base ingredient around here.
	♥ 1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:14 That stuff's dangerous! (jk)
	♥ 1:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 The good news is that there wasn't much rust on it. It looks pretty black now, with an area of grayish. Just waiting for it to cool down from evaporating the water, then I'll oil and put in oven.
	♥ 1:15pm Krys O.: Harvey is stressing out his sister because he wants to occupy the chair that she is sitting in. He can be a twerp.
	♥ 1:17pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 Don't think so, the coarse salt is for scrubbing.
	1:17pm HyperDose: ↳ Krys O. @1:15 Let the lady nap on her throne!
	♥ 1:18pm Krys O.: ↳ HyperDose @1:17 Harvey won for now.
	1:19pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:15 That was a quick recovery. You're a natural! Time to start a restoration business
	♥ 1:22pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 There's a cast iron wok that Franco left on the porch that'll require more elbow grease. Thanks for the link!
	♥ 1:22pm fred: ↳ HyperDose @1:19 Voltron's take would be much higher if it was a regular project though. Tough negociating ahead
	♥ 1:28pm chresti: @Handy- looks like the kittens are now cats (love the pic with K8)!
	♥ 1:31pm fred: ↳ chresti @1:28 I thing Handy fell into that trap of calling people they raised "kids" until they die
	♥ 1:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @1:28 They are cat-sized! A friend came over yesterday who hadn't been here in a few months and said, "Holy shit! You have jaguars!" But they still act like kittens, that's for sure. We'll see if the nomenclature changes when they hit two years old in August.
	♥ 1:43pm chresti: ↳ fred @1:31 I call the visiting neighborhood strays that show up and wait on the porch for food, our "customers"
	♥ 1:44pm Handy Haversack: A real education in Ryuichi Sakamoto on FMU this week. Much appreciated.
	♥ 1:44pm chresti: ↳ fred @1:31 A term of endearment for sure
	♥ 1:46pm Krys O.: There are strays in my neighborhood who are tuxedo kitties and likely descendants of some of the tuxes that I saw when I moved here 24 years ago. I call them sneakers because on of the OG sneakers ran up behind me when I was moving into a previous apartment as if they belonged there. I happened to be carrying my previous cat Joe who was not pleased.
	♥ 1:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:31 Calling them "the boys" seems too gender normative. Their Gormenghast name, "the Brothers Squirm," has yet to catch on widely. "The monsters" already encompasses the population of the entire lair. So I guess we'll see what develops.
	♥ 1:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:44 Mr. Sakamoto's talents were vast and his philosophies about music and art were profound.
	♥ 1:50pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 Hooray for Gormenghast!
	♥ 1:50pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:47 I refrained from posting this on the mothership, but Mayuko did a great tribute: wavefarm.org...
	♥ 1:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:50 Right? I am very proud of their Gormenghast name!
	♥ 1:51pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:50 Thank you, fred. I will check that out.
	♥ 1:53pm chresti: ↳ Krys O. @1:46 There's one tux that loves to run in through the back door and sashay through the house to the front door. She freaks out if the front door is closed
	♥ 1:54pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @1:53 Oh, my! I can visualize that.
	1:56pm HyperDose: This is a lovely tribute
	♥ 1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ HyperDose @1:56 There's more.
	♥ 1:57pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:51 The first track was special to me, for reasons difficult to sum up. I wore a YMO sweater my late mother knitted to work on Wednesday to be properly dressed for Mayuko's show
	♥ 1:58pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:57 Aw, that is very touching.
	♥ 1:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:57 Well done, fred.
	♥ 2:00pm fred: ↳ chresti @1:53 His track M.A.Y. in the backyard is actually about his cats (M.A.Y. were their initials)
	♥ 2:06pm fred: ↳ Song: "Adelic Penguins" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto" At last! I was wondering if anyone else liked this track. Though Esperanto got a lot of deserved love here. It's weird thinking of the trouble I went through to get this back then (let alone honneamise no tsubasa)
	♥ 2:08pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:00 Do you have any cat friends?
	♥ 2:10pm fred: ↳ chresti @2:08 No, I'm not around enough to care for one. But I grew up with them
	♥ 2:12pm Sem: Hello, Krys, free-formers, rollers, Coasters.
	♥ 2:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Shares His Remembrance of Ryuichi Sakamoto" by "T... Long live Luigi. LOL.
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: Howdy, Sem!
	♥ 2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Sem @2:12 Afternoon, Sem.
	2:17pm Fred And Alan: Happy Holidays everyone. Fred and Alan
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: Hello, Fred and Alan! Happy Holidays to you too!
	♥ 2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "I Love You So Much It Hurts" by "Charlie Gracie" Had the pleasure of seeing Charlie Gracie play on a bill with Al Kooper at the old B.B. King's in Manhattan. Gracie passed away last December.
	♥ 2:22pm Michael 98145: Hello, Friends
	♥ 2:23pm Krys O.: Hi, Michael!
	♥ 2:26pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:10 Me too! We had 3 cats that were our "babysitters"- the siamese mother, (who would lick or heads whenever we "cried") and 2 of her grown kittens
	♥ 2:26pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Blue Horizon" by "Michael Nesmith and ... I got to see the Monkees a couple times - but sadly, never with Michael Nesmith :(
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: Unfortunately, I have to go in a sec here. Gonna turn off the oven and let that pan cool overnight. But I'm going to visit my friend in the hospital, and the subways are all messed up, so I'm hoping an hour is enough time to get there. Great show once again, Krys! Many thanks!
	♥ 2:27pm chresti: ↳ chresti @2:26 *our
	♥ 2:28pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 See you later!
	♥ 2:28pm Michael 98145: are the gals eating plates of bean in that photo ??
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:26 Hi, Barno! I treasure my Nez autographed CD of the RCA rarities compilation. Never met him, but I jumped at the chance to buy a limited edition CD with said personalized autograph. I watched the Monkees on TV as a tot.
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:28 I think they are eating some sort of stroganoff.
	♥ 2:29pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 shopping frenzy saturday. take care.
	♥ 2:30pm Krys O.: I saw Eszter Balint play at Tonic back in the late 90s.
	♥ 2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 Thanks for being here, Handy. Best wishes to you and yours.
	♥ 2:31pm Krys O.: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:29 Speaking of shopping, I have to run out after the show and buy a card for my mother's birthday. She turns 97 on Wednesday.
	2:32pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks Krys O. First time listening to your show. Really enjoying it. Cheers
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: Ooh, how nice! Thank you, Danny! Glad you're here.
	♥ 2:33pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Broomhouse!" by "Brasil" "a nightmare out of Thomas Kincaid..." HA!
	♥ 2:34pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Why not make one instead of buying one? Even a crappy one, unless your school stuff was high art
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: I used to do that when I was a child. I made my own comic strips and collages too. Had a teacher in junior high tell me I was terrible. I gave up on illustration. I dabbled in collage again about 20 years ago, but never kept up. Arthritis doesn't help either.
	♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "The Artist Who Draws Rain" by "rosemary loves a b... lovely
	♥ 2:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Whoa! Good for her!
	♥ 2:42pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @2:28 I would have loved to see Michael Nesmith. My appreciation for his music has multiplied since his passing. The Monkees were my gateway drug to music - watching reruns in the 1970's. I saw them in 1985 with Weird Al and then again in 2017 for my 50th birthday. My daughter and I attended Davy Jones' memorial service in Beavertown PA, where he lived for many years. The Monkees music always makes me feel nostalgic and happy.
	♥ 2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:42 Aye! I understand that. I loved Nez's albums and Elephant Parts.
	2:44pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:42 Are you aware of Andrew Sandoval's book?
	♥ 2:46pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 I wanted to be a cartoonist as a teen on into my early 20s. Jim Davis, cartoonist of Garfield was my fave. I sent him a letter with samples of my work. He write back basically advising me to give up cartooning - Hahaha! And included a signed photocopy of Garfield - hahaha!
	2:46pm ERIK / VermonT: Noice ! … vibing on that Rosemary Loves a Blackberry track ! - would you know if its an entire album of that kind of music ?
	♥ 2:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:46 Holy smokes! Fantastic!
	♥ 2:47pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:44 Hi HyperDose! I haven't read that book. I'm such a poor reader. I buy books with the best of intentions and just let them pile up - or add up in my ipad.
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:46 Hi, Erik! Yes, the Bandcamp link is in the playlist.
	2:48pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:47 I know the feeling. As a fan of podcasts, not sure why I haven't switched to audiobooks yet.
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: Here ya go, Erik: rosemary-loves-a-blackberry.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 2:50pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:48 When I'm required to read something for work, I go for the audiobook. But audiobooks get in the way of my WFMU time :)
	2:50pm ERIK / VermonT: Wow - 97 years old ! My father made it to 94 and we enjoyed quoting him , “it’s all down-hill after 88”.
	2:50pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:50 fomo is real!!
	♥ 2:51pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:48 I'm half way through the audio of Rick Ruben's new book on Creativity. But it's difficult to stay focused.
	2:53pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:51 So you need a book that teaches focusing skills, then you can finish Rick's 😋 Surprising because you and your family are quite talented!
	♥ 2:54pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	2:54pm HyperDose: Thanks, Krys! Congrats again on your 17yrs :)
	♥ 2:55pm Michael 98145: Thanks again!
	♥ 2:55pm Krys O.: Thanks to everyone for being here today. I'm always honored by your presence. I also had no idea today was the Buddha's birthday. :)
	♥ 2:56pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
	♥ 2:57pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:55 So you knew it was Daniel's
	♥ 2:58pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "Lazy Boy" by "Harvey Gold" Akron's own, Harvey Gold! He's a great guy - super talented - super driven - super smart - super encouraging - super asset for our local arts and music community. I can't say enough good things about him and Dolli - I'm better for knowing them :)
	♥ 2:58pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:58 Never met Harvey, but we're connected via Butler and Ralph. Yes, quite a mensch.
	♥ 2:59pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:57 Honestly didn't either. ;)
	♥ 3:00pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:53 Thanks HyperDose. We've always got some project going on. Today, for me, it's designing a cool infographic.

	♥ 1:54pm Krys O.: ↳ chresti @1:53 Oh, my! I can visualize that.
	1:56pm HyperDose: This is a lovely tribute
	♥ 1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ HyperDose @1:56 There's more.
	♥ 1:57pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:51 The first track was special to me, for reasons difficult to sum up. I wore a YMO sweater my late mother knitted to work on Wednesday to be properly dressed for Mayuko's show
	♥ 1:58pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:57 Aw, that is very touching.
	♥ 1:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:57 Well done, fred.
	♥ 2:00pm fred: ↳ chresti @1:53 His track M.A.Y. in the backyard is actually about his cats (M.A.Y. were their initials)
	♥ 2:06pm fred: ↳ Song: "Adelic Penguins" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto" At last! I was wondering if anyone else liked this track. Though Esperanto got a lot of deserved love here. It's weird thinking of the trouble I went through to get this back then (let alone honneamise no tsubasa)
	♥ 2:08pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:00 Do you have any cat friends?
	♥ 2:10pm fred: ↳ chresti @2:08 No, I'm not around enough to care for one. But I grew up with them
	♥ 2:12pm Sem: Hello, Krys, free-formers, rollers, Coasters.
	♥ 2:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Shares His Remembrance of Ryuichi Sakamoto" by "T... Long live Luigi. LOL.
	♥ 2:12pm Krys O.: Howdy, Sem!
	♥ 2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Sem @2:12 Afternoon, Sem.
	2:17pm Fred And Alan: Happy Holidays everyone. Fred and Alan
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: Hello, Fred and Alan! Happy Holidays to you too!
	♥ 2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "I Love You So Much It Hurts" by "Charlie Gracie" Had the pleasure of seeing Charlie Gracie play on a bill with Al Kooper at the old B.B. King's in Manhattan. Gracie passed away last December.
	♥ 2:22pm Michael 98145: Hello, Friends
	♥ 2:23pm Krys O.: Hi, Michael!
	♥ 2:26pm chresti: ↳ fred @2:10 Me too! We had 3 cats that were our "babysitters"- the siamese mother, (who would lick or heads whenever we "cried") and 2 of her grown kittens
	♥ 2:26pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Blue Horizon" by "Michael Nesmith and ... I got to see the Monkees a couple times - but sadly, never with Michael Nesmith :(
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: Unfortunately, I have to go in a sec here. Gonna turn off the oven and let that pan cool overnight. But I'm going to visit my friend in the hospital, and the subways are all messed up, so I'm hoping an hour is enough time to get there. Great show once again, Krys! Many thanks!
	♥ 2:27pm chresti: ↳ chresti @2:26 *our
	♥ 2:28pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 See you later!
	♥ 2:28pm Michael 98145: are the gals eating plates of bean in that photo ??
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:26 Hi, Barno! I treasure my Nez autographed CD of the RCA rarities compilation. Never met him, but I jumped at the chance to buy a limited edition CD with said personalized autograph. I watched the Monkees on TV as a tot.
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:28 I think they are eating some sort of stroganoff.
	♥ 2:29pm Michael 98145: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 shopping frenzy saturday. take care.
	♥ 2:30pm Krys O.: I saw Eszter Balint play at Tonic back in the late 90s.
	♥ 2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 Thanks for being here, Handy. Best wishes to you and yours.
	♥ 2:31pm Krys O.: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:29 Speaking of shopping, I have to run out after the show and buy a card for my mother's birthday. She turns 97 on Wednesday.
	2:32pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks Krys O. First time listening to your show. Really enjoying it. Cheers
	♥ 2:32pm Krys O.: Ooh, how nice! Thank you, Danny! Glad you're here.
	♥ 2:33pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Broomhouse!" by "Brasil" "a nightmare out of Thomas Kincaid..." HA!
	♥ 2:34pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Why not make one instead of buying one? Even a crappy one, unless your school stuff was high art
	♥ 2:37pm Krys O.: I used to do that when I was a child. I made my own comic strips and collages too. Had a teacher in junior high tell me I was terrible. I gave up on illustration. I dabbled in collage again about 20 years ago, but never kept up. Arthritis doesn't help either.
	♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "The Artist Who Draws Rain" by "rosemary loves a b... lovely
	♥ 2:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Whoa! Good for her!
	♥ 2:42pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @2:28 I would have loved to see Michael Nesmith. My appreciation for his music has multiplied since his passing. The Monkees were my gateway drug to music - watching reruns in the 1970's. I saw them in 1985 with Weird Al and then again in 2017 for my 50th birthday. My daughter and I attended Davy Jones' memorial service in Beavertown PA, where he lived for many years. The Monkees music always makes me feel nostalgic and happy.
	♥ 2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:42 Aye! I understand that. I loved Nez's albums and Elephant Parts.
	2:44pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:42 Are you aware of Andrew Sandoval's book?
	♥ 2:46pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @2:37 I wanted to be a cartoonist as a teen on into my early 20s. Jim Davis, cartoonist of Garfield was my fave. I sent him a letter with samples of my work. He write back basically advising me to give up cartooning - Hahaha! And included a signed photocopy of Garfield - hahaha!
	2:46pm ERIK / VermonT: Noice ! … vibing on that Rosemary Loves a Blackberry track ! - would you know if its an entire album of that kind of music ?
	♥ 2:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:46 Holy smokes! Fantastic!
	♥ 2:47pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:44 Hi HyperDose! I haven't read that book. I'm such a poor reader. I buy books with the best of intentions and just let them pile up - or add up in my ipad.
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:46 Hi, Erik! Yes, the Bandcamp link is in the playlist.
	2:48pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:47 I know the feeling. As a fan of podcasts, not sure why I haven't switched to audiobooks yet.
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: Here ya go, Erik: rosemary-loves-a-blackberry.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 2:50pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:48 When I'm required to read something for work, I go for the audiobook. But audiobooks get in the way of my WFMU time :)
	2:50pm ERIK / VermonT: Wow - 97 years old ! My father made it to 94 and we enjoyed quoting him , “it’s all down-hill after 88”.
	2:50pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:50 fomo is real!!
	♥ 2:51pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:48 I'm half way through the audio of Rick Ruben's new book on Creativity. But it's difficult to stay focused.
	2:53pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:51 So you need a book that teaches focusing skills, then you can finish Rick's 😋 Surprising because you and your family are quite talented!
	♥ 2:54pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	2:54pm HyperDose: Thanks, Krys! Congrats again on your 17yrs :)
	♥ 2:55pm Michael 98145: Thanks again!
	♥ 2:55pm Krys O.: Thanks to everyone for being here today. I'm always honored by your presence. I also had no idea today was the Buddha's birthday. :)
	♥ 2:56pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
	♥ 2:57pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:55 So you knew it was Daniel's
	♥ 2:58pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "Lazy Boy" by "Harvey Gold" Akron's own, Harvey Gold! He's a great guy - super talented - super driven - super smart - super encouraging - super asset for our local arts and music community. I can't say enough good things about him and Dolli - I'm better for knowing them :)
	♥ 2:58pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @2:58 Never met Harvey, but we're connected via Butler and Ralph. Yes, quite a mensch.
	♥ 2:59pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:57 Honestly didn't either. ;)
	♥ 3:00pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @2:53 Thanks HyperDose. We've always got some project going on. Today, for me, it's designing a cool infographic.
