	6:31pm JReganK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:27 Is that anything like "In Search of the Lost Chord"?
	6:35pm tom tom the pipers son: based on poem by adelaide anna proctor 3 videos 1. sung by beth taylor 2.diane bish 3.kitty whately that's all the info in the video...

	6:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @6:35 hmm maybe i'll try something else...
	6:38pm Dean: And "The Lost Chord" is on the very album I linked to above. Duh-er. There it's sung by Sanford Sylvan, RIP, whom I adore. But I don't recall the track.

	6:51pm ViolaChica: ↳ JReganK @6:50 You win for the comment of the night! LOL
	6:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Study No. 27" by "Conlon Nancarrow" wonderful
	6:52pm ViolaChica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:51 I was going to say....this one's for you....!
	6:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ViolaChica @6:52 good memory. haven't heard it before..thx
	6:54pm JReganK: ↳ ViolaChica @6:51 ;)
	6:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:53 though some of it showed a light touch which makes the gershwin comment so apt
	6:55pm tom tom the pipers son: thought
	6:57pm Bobby: Receive the DJ message. Accept the DJ message. Feel the DJ message
	6:57pm tom tom the pipers son: all music interrelated...that's why word "eclectic" is so obnoxious
	🎻 7:00pm AskJoe: Where is Peter Paul and mary. Puff the magic dragon
	7:00pm tom tom the pipers son: any jessica pavone coming up?
	7:01pm ViolaChica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 Killer request. Not tonight but soon!
	7:01pm ViolaChica: ↳ Bobby @6:57 Thank you (prayer hands)
	7:02pm ViolaChica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:57 Cullan says "thank you Tom!"
	🎻 7:02pm Listener Robert: Ach, still don't have my timing right. So I listened to part of Bethany's archived show and came in late here. Soon I'll have it figured out and make it all up.
	7:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ....;)
	7:04pm tom tom the pipers son: i'm honestly irritated by that word... eclectic is redundant as well
	7:06pm Bobby: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:04 I’m electric, tom tom. Ecstatic. Irradiated!
	7:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bobby @7:06 totally another thing
	7:10pm liptini0514: The Touhou series actually has a song called "Septette for the Dead Princess" that's a wild ride
	🎻 7:11pm Listener Robert: Are you saying that sound on Nintendo is an artifact of its computing the pictures?
	🎻 7:13pm Listener Robert: ↳ Listener Robert @7:11 So like hearing the flyback frequency on old TVs? Or loose yoke coils?
	🎻 7:14pm Listener Robert: Like 60 Hz hum from a toaster?
	7:17pm ViolaChica: ↳ Listener Robert @7:14 Cullan says "Maybe @liptini0514 can answer that question"
	🎻 7:20pm AskJoe: Never heard this Didn’t know miles Hoffman had this in him bravo
	7:21pm liptini0514: They had limited tones to work with. When no tones were played a hissing sound was present like white noise on the tv when the show stopped airing. They used that hiss when a note/tone wasn't playing to act as the percussion.
	🎻 7:22pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Elegy for solo viola" by "Igor Stravinsky" Can someone who knows bowed instruments please explain what was so hard about that?
	7:25pm tom tom the pipers son: stravinsky quote: when someone was shocked to see he only had a old record player to listen to music, he said, " some people have million dollear sound systems, i don't need it, i have million dollar ears"
	7:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:55 just struck me...light "touch" makes no sense re: nancarrow
	7:29pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Elegy for solo viola" by "Igor Stravinsky" Been lurking for a while. Liking this Stravinsky viola piece.
	🎻 7:31pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Elegy for solo viola" by "Igor Stravinsky" Oh, THIS must be the really hard piece they were talking about before. The hazards of front-announcing.
	7:31pm tom tom the pipers son: forgot to update...?
	7:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Hullo ! Walkin' around with you in headphones & Appreciating...
	7:50pm tom tom the pipers son: like this brassy stuff
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: born in 1934...thought this mid century...guess not...:/
	7:52pm chresti: Hi dead people listeners!
	7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:52 well could be 1960-ish
	7:53pm chresti: With Carol and Cullen!
	7:54pm chresti: Been listening from SF
	7:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @7:54 franco's been absent from chat....
	🎻 7:55pm Dan S: ↳ chresti @7:52 That always sounds kind of strange, LOL.
	7:57pm Deano de los Muertos: I liked that, thanks!
	7:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks have a nice trip home
	11:30pm ViolaChica: ↳ Listener Robert @7:22 Hi Robert - I had to answer when I had free hands and brain post-show and running the board. The difficulty are the double stops (two notes on two strings), which are always difficult for intonation (on the viola can be especially awkard because of the size of the instrument, stretch of the hand required, not an acoustically perfect instrument), but here they also must be played in a way to make the melodic lines seamless and flow so the structure of the music is preserved. This requires such delicacy and accuracy, and as a solo instrument, every detail of playing is very exposed. Hope this answers your question.
