Listener comments!
	1:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "My Live-In Maid" by "Glenda Smith & Lee Roesti" Oh how I wish I could reach someone about Glenda. I want to uncover her other demos.
	👻 1:07pm WR: Hi Miss Mei and folks. Listening while working.
	1:07pm Mr Fab: Happy New Week, Miss Mei! i'm back on the Sheena's radio thing. Was out all day yesterday doing family stuff cuz we were all off for the holiday.
	1:07pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:07 New Times, New Rhymes!
	👻 1:09pm WR: ↳ Song: "None Of My Jelly Roll (Live 1982)" by "Sweet Emma... I lived in New Orleans in late 70s and the 80s. Saw Sweet Emma at Preservation Hall a few times. Good memories.
	1:10pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:09 omg you are so lucky! That sounds incredible.
	👻 1:17pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @1:10 Yes, was lucky to live for a while in New Orleans when many of early musicians were still around. Weird to think that from the 1920s (New Orleans Jazz hey day) to the 1970s is 50 years and now in the 2020s is also 50 years. I'm not quite as wrinkled as Sweet Emma yet, but by 2032 I probably will be.
	👻 1:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sheshonahim" by "David Koresh" Was a bit distracted so could not listen closely to the Koresh track. May not have any revelatory content but am curious.
	1:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:19 His work is incredible. Legit classic lofi folk rock
	1:21pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Side B" by "Ed Stilley" Edward Lawrence (Ed) Stilley was a farmer and instrument maker from Hogscald Hollow (Carroll County). In 1979, according to Stilley, he received a directive from God to make and give away musical instruments to children. Without any prior knowledge of instrument making, he created and gave away over 200 instruments, only stopping in 2004 when his hands could no longer do the work required to build them.
	1:22pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Side B" by "Ed Stilley" According to Stilley, in 1979, he received a vision from God directing him to build and give away instruments to children. Over the years, several versions of the events surrounding his vision have been shared by Stilley, and subsequently others. One account is that Stilley lay down to rest during a time of great turmoil and entered a deep sleep, whereupon he received the directive that, if he made and gave away instruments, his health would be restored. Another account involves him falling asleep with a gun close by for protection. A third account has the encounter taking place when he felt he was having a heart attack while plowing. He lay on the ground and had a vision of himself as a tortoise in a raging river, with his children as smaller tortoises on his back. Yet another version involves a petition circulated around the Hollow wanting him to preach a certain way. The one common element to all these accounts is that, in his vision, God told him that if he made and gave away instruments, his family would be taken care of or the matter would be resolved.
	1:23pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Side B" by "Ed Stilley" Shortly after his vision, he started constructing guitars, banjos, fiddles, and other stringed instruments from wood and metal scraps he found on his property. He had no knowledge of traditional instrument-making methods, nor much in the way of tools. To form an instrument’s sides, he boiled an oak slab in a steel drum overnight. Using a pegboard, he started to bend the slab, and wherever it started to break, that is where he stopped. He then cut a top and bottom to fit the sides. Many of his early instruments have a flat top and bottom. Over time, he began to bend the top and bottom to fit arched braces that spanned his instruments. On the top of many of his instruments, he routered the words “True Faith True Light Have Faith in God.”
	1:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Grassy Knoll" by "Frances Baskerville, the Si... The Singing Psychic!
	1:37pm Mr Fab: 'Hogscald Hollow'?! That is some legit hillbilly action there. This guy sounds very cool. He was on a wonderful mission indeed. Wonder if he knew Howard Finster?
	1:41pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:37 His recordings (what little are available) are entrancing
	👻 1:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "Side B" by "Ed Stilley" really lovely recording, you played something from him before. right?
	2:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:54 I've played the other side of this. He goes straight from one song to the other mostly, so I play each side as a single track.
	👻 2:30pm Hubert: Hell-o!
	2:33pm Miss Mei: ↳ Hubert @2:30 hi!
	👻 2:34pm Hubert: That pizza oven line was gold!
	👻 2:50pm Hubert: yes! More Sid Yiddish!
	👻 2:56pm Hubert: Cool! I met him recently. :)
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Going Back To L.A." by "David Tanny" Hm. I guess so.
	2:59pm Miss Mei: thanks for coming!!!
	👻 3:00pm Hubert: Thanks!
	👻 3:05pm WR: thank you, go busy on a call so not very present during last bit of the show. But I already wanted to archive listen anyway. Cheers.
	👻 3:05pm WR: "got busy"
	3:15pm Mr Fab: me busy too, thx m mei!
