Listener comments!
	6:44pm Observations: I pledge to be more chill in the comments going forward. My apologies that I lost my cool last week. I want MUSIC to be the focus of my show not drama. I’ll still say my heartfelt, honest opinions as relevant, but will refrain from responding to any apparently less than positive responses from listeners. Everyone should be able to express themselves freely here, but just be respectful to others. I'll do my best to be respectful too. Thank you to all of my listeners, I truly appreciate your support. Now, on to the show!
	6:46pm Observations: going LIVE in 14 minutes!
	6:55pm Observations: (Almost) all vinyl set tonight. Two things from CD and a third CD only track. The rest is all sweet vinyl.

	7:07pm Observations: ↳ Gina Bacon @7:06 🙏🙏
	7:10pm doctorjazz: I went back to the comments last week (was away for the New Year, visiting). If anyone is interested, I (virtue of my 12 years as a failed yesyhiva student) can explain the problem with that reference to God. (If you'd rather just let it drop, that's OK too). Hi David, Most Observent Ones. (Actually going to my Temple in a short while, fund raiser...)
	7:11pm Observations: Probably best to just move on, but your offer is appreciated.
	7:12pm Gina Bacon: Favorite AS track. Of many!

	7:55pm Dean: I was the innocent (I swear) provocateur last week. I had zero interest in stirring up shit, but I did. I've had a nice colloquy with Doug Schulkind, who diplomatically alerted me to the tone of some of my comments, teaching me a lesson I will likely need to learn again. David, the sole intent of my comment was to warn others to be wary of reliance on sources like reddit, especially when they are advocating about issues that are fraught, politically, ideologically, emotionally... I have no interest in mere provocation. Thanks for your remarks @6:44. I'll be more thoughtful, too.
