	12:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ listener Rey @12:36 Hi listener Rey. It sure was dark, but also kinda funny because of the way DVR sang it. I love that about it.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: This place is a Wreck!
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:35 here it is: jhhl.net...
	12:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:38 Doug! It sure is. I wouldn't have it any other way.
	12:41pm listener Rey: If your train is in the latin neighborhood, Bobby Rodriguez' "Numero Seis" is a great track about waiting for the 6 Train

	12:49pm egould: New York Dolls ‘Subway Train’ was a must for this set.
	12:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @12:48 I got this track because Charlie has lent me his external hard-drive on extended loan, and I found it there.
	12:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:49 Really?! Wow. I guess I am psychic.
	12:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:38 well, Wendy keeps it wreck-ed while she plays wreckeds.....
	12:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:49 Holy shit. You're right! en.wikipedia.org...
	🧀 12:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Subway Train" by "New York Dolls" 50 years ago. I remember well seeing them in Dallas on the tour to support the release of the album.
	12:52pm egould: There’s some Billy Bragg that could come in handy.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:50 ...tho historical Release Dates have frequently proven slippery - that's the word... Wigkey page for the album a surprisingly good read, while we're there...
	12:56pm drowsy: driveby post: great show today and cool theme. Thanks Wendy! Might be a RTFThread topic, but I hope the flooding up there didn't hurt you none.
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Wendy, Wrecking Crew. K8 and co. have a subway song: creekandkills.bandcamp.com...
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: Charlie is Busy Doing Fill-ins
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: 9 is gone. And that A/1 xfer currently is rerouted through hell.
	1:10pm egould: More train songs coming up?
	1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ drowsy @12:56 Hi drowsy. Welcome! Thanks for tuning in, and for your concern. Nope, I was not in a flooded area. Thank goodness!
	1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, WR!
	1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Handy!
	1:17pm Handy Haversack: Someone should write a song called "Gopportunity Cost" about how to access much of Brooklyn from north Brooklyn, you have to exit the G and Fulton, walk two blocks to Atlantic, and pay again to get to the trains there.
	🧀 1:17pm WR: You speaking of falling asleep on the subway reminded me of how I would sometimes fall asleep on the train home from work and miss my stop. And I even had two stops that were equally close to my apartment. I then had choice of riding several more stops to where I could cross over to the return tracks without exiting or exiting and paying another fare. Makes me wanna take a nap just thinking about it.
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:17 *at Fulton
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: gotta hit the road. Thanks Wendy!
	1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Abdicating the Crush" by "The Lentils" L.A. band apparently.
	1:22pm TDK60: Howdy, DJ Wendy!
	1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:21 Now they are, but Luke Csehak, who is basically The Lentils (with assorted special guests) lived in Brattleboro for a buncha years. He was part of Happy Jawbone Family Band.
	1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi TDK60!
	1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:23 Aha. I was wondering.
	1:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:19 found this, but seems half a year old..
	1:25pm northguineahills: www.thepetitionsite.com...
	1:26pm Mr. Oxford: Helllo everyone! Liking this zany track!
	1:26pm Handy Haversack: During the official part of the pandemic they allowed free xfers there and between Broadway and Hewes St. on the J/M, but they took those away.
	1:27pm Ike: BONK
	1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause the grudging lesson from the Pandemic that we are a Society not an Economy was suppressed again as rapidly as possibly...
	1:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Mr. Oxford and Ike!
	1:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:27 Yup. Basically. Sigh... Capital struck back.
	1:33pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ardamm" by "Gwenno" She who Celt it, dealt it!
	1:34pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Ardamm" by "Gwenno" Yay for the Cornish revival. (I've been to the land of Cornwall.)
	1:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:26 back before they connected Ct Sq on the G/7 to the 23rd St (queens) on E/(then F, now M) they had free transfers there (I always had an unlimited via work).
	🧀 1:40pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy! Hi all!
	1:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @1:39 Yeah, I remember. For us it was always more worthwhile to just walk over the Pulaski -- still is, really, unless the weather is really awful.
	1:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Bas!
	1:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" is the white horse pulling a tram/trolley/bus?
	1:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" (yes i have this comp)
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" Has Laidback ever toured with Laibach?
	1:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" Like this!
	🧀 1:53pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" This was a big hit in The Netherlands.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" If you can't catch a train...
	1:55pm Lala: Ride!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" The accompaniment on this sounds very much like something else, can't place it...
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Lala!
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @1:51 I love this comp.
	1:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Counting is Wonderful (reprise)" by "The Count" originally, the count had a "bwahahaha" laugh. But it scared children in test audiences, so it was later changed to "a-a-a-a"....
	2:00pm Ike: I just went to Toronto for the first time and was happy to see that there were two cool little cheese shops: Global Cheese and Cheese Magic. And those were just the two that I stumbled across.
	2:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @1:58 I didn't know that. Waah. I did know that Oscar started out orange, though.
	2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @2:00 Yay cheese!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Like Someone in Love" by "Eric Dolphy" Booker Little on trumpet-great recordings!
	2:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: True on both counts!
	2:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:03 i'm going to need some empirical confirmation on that 😜
	2:12pm egould: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:03 I’ve got some cubed feta marinating in evoo, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), and red chili flakes. Tossed some together with tomatos and a drizzle of very nice balsamic for a salad last night. It was pretty delicious.
	2:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:12 If I remember, I'll take a photo of the album cover from an early Sesame St LP I have. There's Oscar, bright orange!
	2:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ egould @2:12 Oh, good idea! I have some cubed feta left over from a thing I made the other night. I should marinade it in some stuff, too. I got really nice tomatoes from my CSA last week, and cucumbers, too. Hmm... I think I have just made dinner plans for tonight. Thanks, egould!
	2:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:14 I have one w/ an orange (more of an apricot-yellow) oscar. also, some of the syndicated sesame streets they showed (at least through the mid 90s) orange oscar would appear very occasionally.
	2:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:16 I've never seen a show with orange Oscar! I just know from the LP cover and from reading the story of how Oscar came to be.
	2:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Everyone applause for Booker Little!
	2:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Everyone applause for Mal Waldron!
	🧀 2:24pm WR: ↳ Song: "Like Someone in Love" by "Eric Dolphy" Thanks for this great Dolphy recording. Going into a meeting, so writing my thanks for great episode today. Thank you.
	2:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:23 I`m applauding.
	2:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: If you forgot to applaud for Eric Dolphy, go back in time to earlier in the track and applaud for him, too. And in a minute or two, you can applaud for Richard Davis.
	2:25pm David Shortell: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:18 Have you ever seen a show with Roosevelt Franklin?
	🧀 2:25pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:15 sounds like a good summer fete.
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: I forgot the difference between "applause" and "applaud." Hahaha, it's good I'm a professional writer!
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @2:24 Thanks for tuning in, WR!
	2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like the Jazzes.
	2:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ David Shortell @2:25 Hmm, good question. I know I've heard him on records I have, but I can't remember seeing him on the teevee. You?
	2:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:23 I actually dislike the audience response at jazz performances of clapping after every solo; makes it seem like a competitive sport, also drowns out the beginning of the next solo. (but that's just me).
	2:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:26 Yes. He was voiced by the actor who played Stuart.
	2:29pm Funky16Corners: Good afternoon!
	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful show! Thanks Wendy!
	2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Ode to Billie Joe" by "Lou Donaldson" HBD Bobbie Gentry !

	2:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:26 how many?
	2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 Oh, quite a few. More than not.
	2:42pm northguineahills: da LAB!!!!
	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Funky16Corners @2:29 Hey Funky16Corners! Thanks for saying hi and linking to your playlist.
	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:32 Really? I'm more psychic than I thought. Okay, maybe not, but still!
	2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:31 Aww shucks, thanks, Andrew!
	2:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I Can't Keep From Cryin' Sometimes" by "The Deird... For most of my life, I mistook this for a Blues Project original. (It's a traditional first recorded by Blind Willie Johnson.)
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Hi Wendy!
	2:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 Do you like arts?
	2:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:46 when put together as one collection, i can make some arts become an art!
	2:49pm doctorjazz: Fun show, dug it, thanks Wendy!
	2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:49 Me too.
	2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 Thanks, doctorjazz!
	2:53pm egould: ↳ Song: "Take Me Girl, I'm Ready" by "Rahsaan Roland Kirk" This sounds like the theme music for an infomercial about time shares.
	2:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Take Me Girl, I'm Ready" by "Rahsaan Roland Kirk" Blacknuss has really grown on me.. thankewes, wendy for another wrecked creation on the tracks...

	12:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ listener Rey @12:36 Hi listener Rey. It sure was dark, but also kinda funny because of the way DVR sang it. I love that about it.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: This place is a Wreck!
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:35 here it is: jhhl.net...
	12:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:38 Doug! It sure is. I wouldn't have it any other way.

	12:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:49 Really?! Wow. I guess I am psychic.
	12:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:38 well, Wendy keeps it wreck-ed while she plays wreckeds.....

	🧀 12:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Subway Train" by "New York Dolls" 50 years ago. I remember well seeing them in Dallas on the tour to support the release of the album.
	12:52pm egould: There’s some Billy Bragg that could come in handy.
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:50 ...tho historical Release Dates have frequently proven slippery - that's the word... Wigkey page for the album a surprisingly good read, while we're there...

	1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, WR!
	1:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Handy!
	1:17pm Handy Haversack: Someone should write a song called "Gopportunity Cost" about how to access much of Brooklyn from north Brooklyn, you have to exit the G and Fulton, walk two blocks to Atlantic, and pay again to get to the trains there.
	🧀 1:17pm WR: You speaking of falling asleep on the subway reminded me of how I would sometimes fall asleep on the train home from work and miss my stop. And I even had two stops that were equally close to my apartment. I then had choice of riding several more stops to where I could cross over to the return tracks without exiting or exiting and paying another fare. Makes me wanna take a nap just thinking about it.
	1:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:17 *at Fulton
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: gotta hit the road. Thanks Wendy!
	1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Abdicating the Crush" by "The Lentils" L.A. band apparently.

	1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi TDK60!
	1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:23 Aha. I was wondering.
	1:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:19 found this, but seems half a year old..
	1:25pm northguineahills: www.thepetitionsite.com...
	1:26pm Mr. Oxford: Helllo everyone! Liking this zany track!
	1:26pm Handy Haversack: During the official part of the pandemic they allowed free xfers there and between Broadway and Hewes St. on the J/M, but they took those away.
	1:27pm Ike: BONK
	1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause the grudging lesson from the Pandemic that we are a Society not an Economy was suppressed again as rapidly as possibly...
	1:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Mr. Oxford and Ike!
	1:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:27 Yup. Basically. Sigh... Capital struck back.

	🧀 1:40pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy! Hi all!
	1:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @1:39 Yeah, I remember. For us it was always more worthwhile to just walk over the Pulaski -- still is, really, unless the weather is really awful.
	1:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Bas!
	1:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" is the white horse pulling a tram/trolley/bus?

	1:55pm Lala: Ride!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "White Horse" by "Laidback" The accompaniment on this sounds very much like something else, can't place it...
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Lala!
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @1:51 I love this comp.
	1:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Counting is Wonderful (reprise)" by "The Count" originally, the count had a "bwahahaha" laugh. But it scared children in test audiences, so it was later changed to "a-a-a-a"....
	2:00pm Ike: I just went to Toronto for the first time and was happy to see that there were two cool little cheese shops: Global Cheese and Cheese Magic. And those were just the two that I stumbled across.
	2:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @1:58 I didn't know that. Waah. I did know that Oscar started out orange, though.
	2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @2:00 Yay cheese!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Like Someone in Love" by "Eric Dolphy" Booker Little on trumpet-great recordings!
	2:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: True on both counts!
	2:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:03 i'm going to need some empirical confirmation on that 😜
	2:12pm egould: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:03 I’ve got some cubed feta marinating in evoo, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), and red chili flakes. Tossed some together with tomatos and a drizzle of very nice balsamic for a salad last night. It was pretty delicious.
	2:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:12 If I remember, I'll take a photo of the album cover from an early Sesame St LP I have. There's Oscar, bright orange!
	2:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ egould @2:12 Oh, good idea! I have some cubed feta left over from a thing I made the other night. I should marinade it in some stuff, too. I got really nice tomatoes from my CSA last week, and cucumbers, too. Hmm... I think I have just made dinner plans for tonight. Thanks, egould!
	2:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:14 I have one w/ an orange (more of an apricot-yellow) oscar. also, some of the syndicated sesame streets they showed (at least through the mid 90s) orange oscar would appear very occasionally.
	2:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:16 I've never seen a show with orange Oscar! I just know from the LP cover and from reading the story of how Oscar came to be.
	2:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Everyone applause for Booker Little!
	2:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Everyone applause for Mal Waldron!

	2:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: If you forgot to applaud for Eric Dolphy, go back in time to earlier in the track and applaud for him, too. And in a minute or two, you can applaud for Richard Davis.
	2:25pm David Shortell: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:18 Have you ever seen a show with Roosevelt Franklin?
	🧀 2:25pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:15 sounds like a good summer fete.
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: I forgot the difference between "applause" and "applaud." Hahaha, it's good I'm a professional writer!
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @2:24 Thanks for tuning in, WR!
	2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like the Jazzes.
	2:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ David Shortell @2:25 Hmm, good question. I know I've heard him on records I have, but I can't remember seeing him on the teevee. You?
	2:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:23 I actually dislike the audience response at jazz performances of clapping after every solo; makes it seem like a competitive sport, also drowns out the beginning of the next solo. (but that's just me).
	2:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:26 Yes. He was voiced by the actor who played Stuart.
	2:29pm Funky16Corners: Good afternoon!

	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Funky16Corners @2:29 Hey Funky16Corners! Thanks for saying hi and linking to your playlist.
	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:32 Really? I'm more psychic than I thought. Okay, maybe not, but still!
	2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:31 Aww shucks, thanks, Andrew!
	2:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I Can't Keep From Cryin' Sometimes" by "The Deird... For most of my life, I mistook this for a Blues Project original. (It's a traditional first recorded by Blind Willie Johnson.)
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Hi Wendy!
	2:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 Do you like arts?
	2:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:46 when put together as one collection, i can make some arts become an art!
	2:49pm doctorjazz: Fun show, dug it, thanks Wendy!
	2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @2:49 Me too.
	2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 Thanks, doctorjazz!
