Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 8:03pm ultradamno: Becky! Tonkies! Patsy Cline tribute thingy on PBS Friday www.pbs.org...
	♥ 8:04pm loveless: Howdy all.
	♥ 8:05pm DanFA: Howdy Becky
	8:07pm johnk77: 91.1 stereo still nice sounding here all fmu streams not working:<
	♥ 8:07pm loveless: I'm having trouble trying to listen online.
	♥ 8:07pm Handy Haversack: Becky! Tonkers!
	♥ 8:07pm MikeD: ↳ loveless @8:07 same
	♥ 8:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ loveless @8:07 Streams went down during Matt's show and apparently aren't fixed yet.
	♥ 8:08pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ MikeD @8:07 Same.
	8:08pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:07 We're monitoring the situation. Thanks for tuning in anyway!
	♥ 8:08pm loveless: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:07 Thanks for the update. Let me dust off the radio.
	🎸 ♥ 8:08pm ultradamno: Silencecore, Mr Fab has called it, "the hip new trend in indie music"
	♥ 8:08pm DanFA: I''m just getting the spinning gear on my player.
	♥ 8:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:08 91.1 doing real good in North Brooklyn. Mirabile dictu!
	♥ 8:09pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:09 Where's Dr. John Brinkley when you need him!
	♥ 8:10pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: This reminds me I need to get an emergency radio in the house.
	8:10pm sophistikitsch: Rather quiet here Down Under...last time this happened we got the fortunate listeners to describe the music for the rest of us.
	♥ 8:11pm NotARealDoctor: Hello from Norfolk, VA! I'm climbing the highest tower I can find with the biggest directional antenna i can carry and a sack of potatoes to try and pick up the FM signal
	8:11pm Becky: I suppose those of you outside our broadcasting range can just put on your own 45s at home.
	♥ 8:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DanFA @8:09 This might help! www.jhhl.net...
	♥ 8:11pm DanFA: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:10 I'd love to see them describe You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC
	8:11pm Becky: Meaning following on with the show.
	♥ 8:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:11 NARD gets it! Better have a few drinks to steady the nerves!
	♥ 8:12pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:11 smoked a preroll beforehand and I've got another for the halfway point
	♥ 8:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:10 It was a soulful but still swinging version of "I Saw the Light." Now we have some heartbeat-style accordion(?) mimicking the train rhythm and some lonesome whistle blows. It's fantastic.
	♥ 8:13pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:13 Bless you Handy, I can hear it now
	8:14pm sophistikitsch: ↳ DanFA @8:11 Well first you'll need a fast machine and some detergent, bucket, sponge....
	♥ 8:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:13 Spoonable quantities of surface noise, too.
	♥ 8:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: ""Keep's On Haunting Me"" by "The Incomparable Han... Ballad-ish. Heavy on the bass. Plaintive but low-slung, like an empty belt. Vocal fills grab at the heart.
	8:16pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:13 Thanks, I'm trying my best to play along but Dullify doesn't seem to have many of these songs
	♥ 8:17pm DanFA: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:14 And she was an American who had a great pair of thighs.
	♥ 8:18pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:16 YouTube music seems to work better for this
	♥ 8:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Chickawawa" by "Champagne Brothers" This is louche. The Buddy Holly your parents warned you about -- and his brothers. Whatever "chickawawa" is, your parents never did it. Unless ... !
	8:19pm sophistikitsch: ↳ DanFA @8:17 Great as in large or immense? And why'd she knock him out with them? So many questions. See, this is a fun game isn't it?
	8:19pm Becky: ↳ Song: "Do Right" by "Johnny Randel and Friends" This sounds like Sesame Street.
	♥ 8:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:19 My urban chums and I are all running toward the source of delight and clapping.
	♥ 8:20pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:20 Some of us have overalls.
	♥ 8:22pm DanFA: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:19 Is there a course you can take in Australian universities about AC/DC lyrics like there is with William Shakespeare?
	♥ 8:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Woodpecker Rock" by "Nat Couty and The Braves" Rex has chosen ... wisely. Couldn't hear the broadcast from the WFMU tables is pretty much my only note for next year -- provide radios!
	♥ 8:24pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Woodpecker Rock" by "Nat Couty and The Braves" this is obviously about woody woodpecker
	♥ 8:24pm brycepunk1: Hi Becky and everyone on this quiet night.
	♥ 8:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:24 There's laughing!
	♥ 8:26pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "I Don't Need Your Love And Kisses" by "Bobby Cash" Bobby sounds like he's trying to convince himself -- and hired backup singers to make it easier!
	8:26pm Andres: Could somebody in broadcast range please put their phone up to the speaker and call me please.
	8:26pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:24 My idea for next year is have a whiteboard somewhere where people can write down the specific records they're looking for and dealers can write if they have them
	♥ 8:26pm DanFA: ↳ Andres @8:26 I'd advise against that. You don't wanna get doxed.
	8:27pm Becky: ↳ Andres @8:26 <3 I'm old enough to have done this in my life for friends out of range of WFMU
	♥ 8:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:26 Oh my god, that would be amazing. It's so overwhelming. Blossom Dearie Quest crashed and burned!
	8:27pm Rickie: Man ! Your show is great !! Love these old tunes !! My dad paw paw and uncle had a crazy aray of alota stuff like this ! Still up there at hunting camp !! Wow !! Thanks!!
	8:27pm sophistikitsch: ↳ DanFA @8:22 It's more of a certificate course than a degree. It's called "Bon's-Bon-Mots""
	♥ 8:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:27 I'm old enough that my phone cord won't reach the speakers!
	8:28pm Andres: ↳ Becky @8:27 Wow! Nice!
	8:28pm Becky: ↳ Rickie @8:27 Thanks Rickie! Good to have you here!
	♥ 8:28pm DanFA: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:27 Of course it is. Love it.
	♥ 8:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Dear One" by "John Dunn" Up-tempo tale of mail fraud and heartbreak!
	♥ 8:32pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:31 Loving these descriptions, thank you so much
	♥ 8:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "I'm An Old Pipe Liner" by "Ray King" OK, this one: country singer walks into a bar, says the bartender, "I'll have an entendre -- and make it a double." So the multiple lady backup singers who constitute the bartender give it to him. Also, the piano is NOT insured for this level of boogie-woogie.
	♥ 8:34pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "I'm An Old Pipe Liner" by "Ray King" I already know this one is FILTHY
	🎸 ♥ 8:34pm ultradamno: Well, you have to keep it uptempo when the mail fraud is heartbreaking.
	8:34pm Becky: Handy, we should hire you as an accessibility consultant. It's great!
	♥ 8:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:34 Ha! It's actually kind of my job! Thought it WOULD be nice to get paid for it ...
	8:35pm sophistikitsch: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:32 Me too but I can't help thinking you're describing my life.
	8:36pm Andres: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:35 Mic break transcript, please. ;)
	♥ 8:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Cotton Picker" by "Wortham Watts" Every instrument has been stolen at least once. Why is it so sultry. A nonzero chance this is popcorn, but I have been wrong about this before. Superb.
	♥ 8:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Andres @8:36 Well, those listening on wfmu.org have been lovingly apostrophized.
	♥ 8:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Crazy Baby" by "Gene Maltais with the Anita Kerr ... Yeah, you can smell the Todd on this! Hiccuping and voice breaks -- the desperation kind of belied by the smoothness of the backup singers. Tears are being argued against, but it feels like a loss leader. Though I would follow this whistling break into hell.
	♥ 8:41pm DanFA: ↳ Becky @8:34 Handy is recapping the songs like the way websites recap episodes of Game of Thrones.
	♥ 8:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Don't Destroy Me" by "Crash Craddock" He presents a good argument, but there's a disingenuousness when you have this many guys backing your play. Like a seductively reasonable offensive line.
	8:42pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Don't Destroy Me" by "Crash Craddock" He sounds like a heartbreaker.
	♥ 8:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "I'm Packing Up" by "Ellis Humphrey" Capitalism wrecks love, among other victims. But it cannot destroy the basic swing of existence.
	♥ 8:45pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:44 they're sure gonna give it an honest go trying to though
	8:45pm Mr Fab: Well… i’m usually attending to my duties as Sheena’s program Director, but there’s no program to direct right now. Nice to hang out here, as I usually don’t have the opportunity to visit the other channels much anymore. Thanx, Handy, I’m imagining the music. Radio Of the mind!
	8:45pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:44 Now try it in Haiku form!
	♥ 8:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Killing Time Is Killing Me" by "Red Thomas" The guitar slides in Tenderness bound to absence But the pain still sings
	♥ 8:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:45 That was for you!
	8:47pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:46 Now try a villanelle! (I'm kidding, you're knocking it out of the park and I would never ask more).
	8:47pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Killing Time Is Killing Me" by "Red Thomas" Not on YouTube. The strategy had been working thus far.
	♥ 8:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:47 Oh, man. I would need to stretch.
	8:47pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:46 Absolute Genius and I tips me hat to ya!
	♥ 8:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Handy-Tonk Radio Programme
	♥ 8:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Ghost Riders In The Sky" by "Roy Clark" Swinging up-tempo version. Those ghosts are riding to a party! A ghost party, sure, but still!
	8:50pm Becky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:48 the show description has never been more true
	♥ 8:50pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Man With The Blues" by "Willie Nelson" Oh I know this one!
	8:50pm sophistikitsch: A dead mans party! Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door.....
	♥ 8:51pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Becky @8:50 💯
	♥ 8:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Man With The Blues" by "Willie Nelson" It's Willie. He's got good advices. You already know them in your heart because he helped you learn them even before you were born. It still works.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "You Say No" by "Bill Lamm" He's landing on his feet. "No" is a world of clouds masking new yeses, however briefly. The infinite deferral of pleasure is a contract, not a conviction. Also, pedal steel.
	♥ 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Becky @8:50 His years of toiling away in the word mines are finally paying off! Thanks, Becky and unpaid staff workers.
	♥ 8:56pm NotARealDoctor: Thanks Becky! Thanks Handy!
	♥ 8:56pm NotARealDoctor: Possibly my favorite episode of any radio programme ever
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "What Good Will It Do" by "Rose Maddox" A voice that justifies the entire recording industry. As long as forever is exactly what is taken away in the lyrics and gifted in the singing. And the swinging. That's one lucky-ass microphone. You can honestly hear the chrome.
	🎸 ♥ 8:57pm ultradamno: Barrence Whitfield did a good Killing Time Is Killing Me song last year
	8:58pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 If admiration was money you'd be comfortably well off.
	8:58pm Becky: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:56 Aw!! Thanks NARD and especially thanks to Handy!!
	♥ 8:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "That Almighty Dollar" by "John Whipp" They got the meats -- they being the lonely and rich, who are not invited to the party where this song is being sung to a crowd of neighbors brought together by honky-tonk joy. This song knows where it's at. And where we're at. Also, pedal steel.
	♥ 8:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! Sorry, remote listeners! Glad the windfall luck of good reception here could help a little bit!
	🎸 ♥ 8:59pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:57 Just titled Killing Time (but the killing me part is in it)
	♥ 9:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Cotton Picker" by "Wortham Watts" (Zero chance I'd be able to resist going "boo boo boo boo be boo boo boo" into the mic along with this one.)
	9:05pm sophistikitsch: Science(y) time: I do get some work done while I'm listening but without the music i'm achieving nothing. Staring out my office window on a lovely sunny day (admittedly looking at the ocean but, you know, it's tough!)

	8:45pm Mr Fab: Well… i’m usually attending to my duties as Sheena’s program Director, but there’s no program to direct right now. Nice to hang out here, as I usually don’t have the opportunity to visit the other channels much anymore. Thanx, Handy, I’m imagining the music. Radio Of the mind!
	8:45pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:44 Now try it in Haiku form!
	♥ 8:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Killing Time Is Killing Me" by "Red Thomas" The guitar slides in Tenderness bound to absence But the pain still sings
	♥ 8:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ sophistikitsch @8:45 That was for you!
	8:47pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:46 Now try a villanelle! (I'm kidding, you're knocking it out of the park and I would never ask more).
	8:47pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Killing Time Is Killing Me" by "Red Thomas" Not on YouTube. The strategy had been working thus far.
	♥ 8:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @8:47 Oh, man. I would need to stretch.
	8:47pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:46 Absolute Genius and I tips me hat to ya!
	♥ 8:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Handy-Tonk Radio Programme
	♥ 8:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Ghost Riders In The Sky" by "Roy Clark" Swinging up-tempo version. Those ghosts are riding to a party! A ghost party, sure, but still!
	8:50pm Becky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:48 the show description has never been more true
	♥ 8:50pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Man With The Blues" by "Willie Nelson" Oh I know this one!
	8:50pm sophistikitsch: A dead mans party! Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door.....
	♥ 8:51pm NotARealDoctor: ↳ Becky @8:50 💯
	♥ 8:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Man With The Blues" by "Willie Nelson" It's Willie. He's got good advices. You already know them in your heart because he helped you learn them even before you were born. It still works.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "You Say No" by "Bill Lamm" He's landing on his feet. "No" is a world of clouds masking new yeses, however briefly. The infinite deferral of pleasure is a contract, not a conviction. Also, pedal steel.
	♥ 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Becky @8:50 His years of toiling away in the word mines are finally paying off! Thanks, Becky and unpaid staff workers.
	♥ 8:56pm NotARealDoctor: Thanks Becky! Thanks Handy!
	♥ 8:56pm NotARealDoctor: Possibly my favorite episode of any radio programme ever
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "What Good Will It Do" by "Rose Maddox" A voice that justifies the entire recording industry. As long as forever is exactly what is taken away in the lyrics and gifted in the singing. And the swinging. That's one lucky-ass microphone. You can honestly hear the chrome.
	🎸 ♥ 8:57pm ultradamno: Barrence Whitfield did a good Killing Time Is Killing Me song last year
	8:58pm sophistikitsch: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 If admiration was money you'd be comfortably well off.
	8:58pm Becky: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:56 Aw!! Thanks NARD and especially thanks to Handy!!
	♥ 8:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "That Almighty Dollar" by "John Whipp" They got the meats -- they being the lonely and rich, who are not invited to the party where this song is being sung to a crowd of neighbors brought together by honky-tonk joy. This song knows where it's at. And where we're at. Also, pedal steel.
	♥ 8:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! Sorry, remote listeners! Glad the windfall luck of good reception here could help a little bit!
	🎸 ♥ 8:59pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:57 Just titled Killing Time (but the killing me part is in it)
	♥ 9:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Cotton Picker" by "Wortham Watts" (Zero chance I'd be able to resist going "boo boo boo boo be boo boo boo" into the mic along with this one.)
	9:05pm sophistikitsch: Science(y) time: I do get some work done while I'm listening but without the music i'm achieving nothing. Staring out my office window on a lovely sunny day (admittedly looking at the ocean but, you know, it's tough!)
