	♥ 9:08am Rob Bric-à-brac: Oh, it's Miles alright!
	♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ LiXiviated Life @9:08 Must go back to the Provençal troubadours.
	♥ 9:11am Rob Bric-à-brac: Turning on my radio and hearing this trumpet is a tonic.
	♥ 9:11am Karl: Jaco for the lovers
	9:12am Charles in Chicago: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:06 Hey good morning NBT! Puzzle House was really great last night. (The opening act left me cold). Maybe try again next Thursday?

	♥ 9:16am PaulRobeson1925: VG +
	♥ 9:17am Jack McGuire: Jaco homo.
	9:17am Fredericks: Donna Lee is a Charlie Parker tune, no?
	9:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:14 Just those two. It was pretty disappointing to me. They did this dirgey electronic drone that just sucked all the energy out of the room. Too many computers, loopers, etc. It's not fun to watch people just staring at screens and turning knobs. They didn't even look at each other. And the music was completely static. But when Puzzle House got onstage the energy returned! They had some great tunes (written by Zerang) and played really well as an ensemble.
	9:19am rx "rexy" scabin: @Fredericks yes, I think so.
	9:19am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:18 Next week's opener should be more fun!
	9:20am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I missed wake traffic can you play it again Clay ?
	♥ 9:20am Lizardner Dave !: Joe Allen, Clay.
	9:21am George: Wikipedia states that: "Donna Lee" is a jazz standard tune attributed to Charlie Parker, although Miles Davis has also claimed authorship.
	9:21am AnotherJon: Mornin JA jammers!
	9:21am Audrey from Colombia: Clay always gets extremely anxious about marathons, I don’t understand why
	♥ 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:07 Have fun at the Yoko Ono exhibit today!
	9:22am Charles in Chicago: ↳ George @9:21 "Although Davis claimed being the author, noted composer, arranger Gil Evans in a radio interview on WKCR FM, NYC stated publicly that the true author of the piece was drummer Norman "Tiny" Khan who taught the melody to Davis who then taught it to Parker."
	9:22am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:19 Who opens next week?
	9:22am JAIME: West Bank Café for dinner?
	9:23am annette: OMG YOKO HAS 91 YEARS
	9:23am Charles in Chicago: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:22 Jane Baxter Miller+ Kent Kessler - Zerang told me they'd be playing country music
	9:23am jennyfruit: todd had guessed correctly the restaurant is joe allen....JA lol
	9:23am tonyb: Joe Allan’s for dinner? Check the meatloaf & martini.
	9:23am Tinley Park Randy: Kennedy Center
	♥ 9:23am PaulRobeson1925: Going down to the sea with my babyyy. Goin’ Down down to the riverside gonna get real close gonna get real tiGht
	9:24am Mark: I re-listened to the exchange between you two last Friday. It was so special and had a lasting impact.
	9:24am marks: you are right Clay, I stopped supporting the station couple of year ago, because of some DJs (not you) getting too political. I still listen though.
	♥ 9:24am Karl: Hell yes Clay
	♥ 9:24am Levi: i second the no more politics clay.
	9:24am rx "rexy" scabin: @Charles in Chicago Jaco used it for practicing. He references Charlie Parker's improvisation.
	♥ 9:25am Karl: When people say they stop giving to the station because of something a DJ said, I give more
	9:25am Jon: No I'm looking at Joe Allan's on Yelp... looks delicious! I'll fly to NYC for that!
	9:25am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Karl @9:25 YES
	9:25am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:18 That definitely sounds like them, ha. I feel like I've seen sets from them akin to what you saw last night but also caught at least a couple where they seemed to be playing really conversantly. They played a show in our local park's concert series last Summer and it was really great, at least until my kiddo broke their elbow.
	9:26am marks: ↳ Karl @9:25 way to go!
	9:26am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:23 Ooh, that sounds great.
	9:26am annette: WOOF MOO PARTY ONLY POLITICS WE NEED
	9:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @Audrey from Columbia just speculating but perhaps it’s because the audience for Wake is larger and broader than that of many other WFMU shows, so he feels a disproportionate amount of pressure to bring in pledges?
	♥ 9:27am luka: ↳ Song: "flute juice" by "dave valentin" shirts off like herbie mann
	9:27am honest Bernardo from Argentina: This is fantastic
	9:27am Rednex: PREMIUM QUALITY JAZZ
	♥ 9:27am bearded wonder: ↳ Karl @9:25 Right there with you
	♥ 9:27am Karl: ↳ luka @9:27 Shirts vs. skins, skins win (on account of the Herbie Mann effect, causing there to be no shirts)
	9:28am allison: Hearing yesterday that my favorite WFMU dj is “moderate” was a huge disappointment honestly :(
	♥ 9:28am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "flute juice" by "dave valentin" Careful over there, Dave spilled some flute juice or something...
	♥ 9:29am Jack McGuire: Clay flexed his jazz bone too much, now the flute juice is everywhere.
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: Well, I have to take off. Chaperoning K8's HS kids to see Yoko Ono's Wish Trees at the Armory. Thanks, JA! Keep your shirts off, J'All.
	9:29am Fredericks: ↳ Karl @9:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KATvs8XaCLs
	♥ 9:30am Karl: ↳ BillyLundun @9:28 Wait... is flute juice... bong water?
	♥ 9:30am regina j: ↳ Karl @9:25 same here!
	♥ 9:30am BillyLundun: ↳ Karl @9:30 Doesn't smell like bong water...
	9:30am Jon: ↳ Karl @9:30 That's what I've always called it!
	♥ 9:30am bearded wonder: ↳ JAIME @9:22 the union I work for used to have its office right near there and some of the old timers had amazing stories about West Bank back in the day
	♥ 9:30am luka: ↳ Karl @9:27 skins vs. hairshirts
	9:31am estebangrande: Hi JA and jaamzzers, saw Kamasi Washington last night in MIA
	♥ 9:31am Polyus: Had to squeeze a lot of flutes to get one lousy glass of flute juice.
	9:31am Rednex: This song might be even better than Cotton Eyed Joe
	♥ 9:31am Jack McGuire: Do flutes have a flute juice release valve?
	9:32am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:24 If you don't get into politics, politics will still get into you.
	♥ 9:32am BillyLundun: ↳ Polyus @9:31 Yeah, and it doesn't taste like store bought either...
	♥ 9:33am BillyLundun: ↳ Fredericks @9:32 Canada and many countries are feeling the full of effect these days of 'not into politics'
	9:33am Bakester: Sounds great; keep up the good work, JA!
	9:34am annette: i can pee my pants playing bass. does that count ???
	9:35am weezycarneezy: …so don’t listen to this…
	9:35am marks: ↳ Fredericks @9:32 oh, I do, just don't appreciate ignorant propaganda some people spread.
	9:35am John Allen: ↳ marks @9:24 marks i hope clay and i can count on your support in march!
	♥ 9:35am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Fredericks @9:32 That's the one thing I come back to when I get to the 'fuck this, I can't follow politics anymore'. It's no different really than conservatives saying they don't believe in science. Whether or not you believe in/follow either, they still exist and have an effect on you regardless.
	9:36am Fredericks: ↳ Karl @9:25 Nice.
	9:36am pmcWhenever: timing is precious. dadd_yoh
	9:36am Coneheads: Feel like I’m shopping in Guitar Center right now

	9:38am wimpy: that reminded me of lil b's afrikantis album from a few years back. cool album I definitely didn't expect from the man
	9:38am honest Bernardo in Argentina: ↳ John Allen @9:35 marks you gotta give! If u turn on the radio you GOTTA. or the station will go dark and Clay will have to street interview himself under a bridge. Is that what you want???
	9:38am space clothes in Fairfield NJ: Yes live performance sounding
	9:39am marks: ↳ John Allen @9:35 :) if I change your mind, your show will be one to get my support for sure.
	♥ 9:39am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:38 All I have to say to that is HOLY DIVER
	9:39am Audrey from Colombia: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:26 Yeah, could be. Still, he always hits his goal quickly and even surpasses it
	9:41am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:35 Ignorant Propaganda Program sounds like something Kenny G would host.
	9:41am annette: when meditating, forget that OOHHMMM . just do the WOOF MOO
	♥ 9:42am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "heat sinking susan" by "severed heads" This is agreeing with my humours!
	9:42am Fredericks: ↳ Coneheads @9:36 Excellent observation.
	9:42am honest Bernardo in Argentina: Oooo JA is a Funky Boy today ! Keep it going baby
	♥ 9:43am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ marks @9:39 Seems shortsighted to punish the whole of FMU for the behavior of a small percentage of the staff.
	♥ 9:43am BillyLundun: HA Grandpa monster sacked out!!!
	♥ 9:43am BillyLundun: Munster...
	9:44am rx "rexy" scabin: It's a show about jazz.

	♥ 9:46am Bobby: Flexin’ the Lou Reed bone
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Crownless Gander: If you think Severed Heads are bringing in the Gen Z crowd, I have news for you.
	9:47am Tinley Park Randy: Flying Burrito Brothers version is best.
	9:48am Colin: Snow runner is the game for you Clay. John is so salty!!!
	9:48am marks: ↳ ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore) @9:43 I just felt I cannot support something like that, it did not sit well with me, I believe me, I regret it. I do hope, this will change, honestly. I'm not worried though, seems there are 5 people here who give more, only to alienate me and people like me more. ;)
	9:49am Blau: Underwear Pidge.
	9:50am PhillyG: First heard the Dunlop expression in Spaceman Bill Lee’s excellent memoir “The Wrong Stuff”. One Spring Training, George Scott reported to his teammates that he was playing through Dunlop disease as over the winter his belly done lopped over his belt.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51am common: j a. clay. all
	♥ 9:51am The Oscar: My uncle and aunt live up in Stowe-- they got married on the slopes!

	♥ 9:57am bearded wonder: ↳ marks @9:48 I hear plenty of stuff on WFMU I don't like, musically and otherwise. I loathe Valentine's Day - still gonna pledge to Clay and WFMY, even after that sappy show ;)
	♥ 9:58am Karl: Here for the wasabi pea talk
	♥ 9:58am bearded wonder: The simple question is, do I want WFMU to continue to exist? If the answer is "yes", I make sure to pledge
	9:58am Kay: What wine pairs with wasabi peas?
	9:58am annette: @Crownless; write a book. life is useless without an EX.
	9:59am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:48 Where do you go for reliable political information?
	9:59am rx "rexy" scabin: @Kay Mateus
	♥ 9:59am Rob Bric-à-brac: That rush when the wasabi gets up your nose...
	10:00am Triple G: Actually laughing out loud, this is great
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Crownless Gander: ↳ annette @9:58 Honestly, the ex is kind of the best relationship, in my mind. Rich history of love, no pressure to keep it from evolving.

	♥ 10:01am Rob Bric-à-brac: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @10:01 Don't we all!
	♥ 10:01am Karl: ↳ Song: "donkey" by "jaco metheny ditmas bley" JA do you know if this was live?
	10:01am Blau: Bill Frisell is an amazing human. No question.
	10:02am John Allen: ↳ Karl @10:01 recorded at blue rock studio nyc
	10:02am John Allen: ↳ Blau @10:01 Bill is the spirit animal of the guitar
	♥ 10:02am steveo: Good morning. I love Yul Brynner.
	10:04am Kay: @rx thanks possibly a pop rocks and coke combo. worth a try.
	10:05am Blau: He plays a very worn telecaster and his tech says his amp sucks. Funny stuff.
	10:06am Kay: @steve that’s fair.

	10:09am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "unce upon a time" by "sonny sharrock" I love this song.

	♥ 10:09am luka: i’m levitating
	10:09am annette: could never play bass unless i was sober. after my songs, i had a beer
	♥ 10:10am luka: JA thank you i think this is the song i am most thankful for learning about through WFMU if such a thing can be quantified
	10:11am wimpy: I always wondered how sharrock played these songs live, if he did. hes soloing over the chords which he also plays, which on a recording is easy enough to accomplish, but live I wonder if he just didn't play the chords or used a looper pedal or something
	10:12am wimpy: he does the same thing on green line with miroslav
	♥ 10:17am Karl: JA and other guitar jazz freaks: I came across an interesting record with Robert Quine on it the other day, the record COLD TUBE by Kazuyoshi Saito.
	♥ 10:18am Barney Grubbs: there’s a live video from 1990 where it seems like he’s leaving the chording to the keyboard & sometimes bass. It’s always amazing to see him play even on old videos youtu.be...
	10:19am annette: @crownless : still respect those Men. and i thank them for the fine folks they gave to me
	10:21am wimpy: Ah interesting, thanks I’ll have to check that out
	♥ 10:21am luka: ↳ Barney Grubbs @10:18 thank you for sharing this!
	10:21am Blau: Nice follow up from Sonny!

	♥ 10:27am PaulRobeson1925: Good evening Mr.Fredericks. I open The Encyclopedia Library: A Comprehensive Reference work Unabridged 1945 Editor-In-Chief WILLIAM DODGE LEWIS, A.M., PD.D, LITT.D. Formerly Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Commonwealth of Pennsylvania In Twelve Volumes and much of the information contained in this work is unavailable on the lnternet
	10:28am annette: dont know how i did it, but played fretless bass as a novice
	♥ 10:29am steveo: I would put a trombone through that pedal or maybe a sousaphone
	♥ 10:30am PaulRobeson1925: On the cover of each volume is a stylized Eagle with it’s wings spread and the words KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
	10:31am annette: sorry to repeat myself, but still in love with shriekback slap bass
	♥ 10:32am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	♥ 10:34am steveo: ↳ steveo @10:29 I would not put a trombone through a sousaphone, however
	10:34am Noir Lover: ↳ Song: "positive halfway" by "basic" Saw Basic at the winter jazz fest last month. Union Pool...intimate venue. Everyone 2 ft apart just jamming out in their own space. It was perfect. Felt like the Nick Cave performances from the movie Wings of Desire.
	♥ 10:34am PaulRobeson1925: For instance, Mr.Fredericks I just flipped open the book between Bower-bird and Bowman and
	♥ 10:37am Karl: ↳ steveo @10:34 Where's your thirst for danger?
	10:38am annette: @Noir. sounds like a perfect venue. more folks should enjoy a similar experience
	10:40am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:27 Fascinating.

	♥ 10:41am Barney Grubbs: ↳ John Allen @10:22 there’s an older Last Exit video where it looks like Laswell is actually just playing some kind of cutaway guitar, so seems more likely it’s him one way or the other on ask the ages youtu.be...
	♥ 10:42am steveo: ↳ Karl @10:37 All right fine I'll do it
	10:42am Noir Lover: Ask the Ages on Bandcamp billlaswell.bandcamp.com...
	10:43am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:34 I visited an Audubon exhibit recently.
	10:44am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:40 That's where the massacre happened?

	♥ 10:45am PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Fredericks @10:43 That’s cool Mr.Fredericks. Did any of the bird’s courtship stand out to you as being more beautiful than anothers?
	10:45am rx "rexy" scabin: @Noir Lover excellent album.
	♥ 10:49am joe mulligan: I bought the Peter Criss solo album in 1980? when I was 10, expecting to hear more Kiss. First major record disappointment of my life
	10:50am annette: life of spiders at natural history a few years back was super. amazing. best experiense ever. 🕷🪳🕸🕷🪳🕸
	10:51am ?: ↳ annette @10:50 spiders reproduce sexually
	10:52am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:45 John didn't focus much on courtship.
	10:54am Fredericks: ↳ Fredericks @10:52 I suspect you knew that, thus your inquiry.
	10:55am Toothgrinder Tom: I heart spiders.
	♥ 10:58am Karl: ↳ joe mulligan @10:49 And I'm guessing the second one was listening to Gene's solo record.
	11:01am annette: my favs was the underground ones. and the taratulas were so sleepy and loved getting brushed.
	11:02am ❤️🏴❤️: 75 Dollar Bill tonight at P.I.T. 6pm come on down
	11:03am annette: oh geeze, hope i dont hook up with an arachnid at this age .
	11:03am Rednex: This show just hasn't been the same since it stopped being people listing things alphabetically, talking about expensive jeans, and Miroslav Vitous
	11:05am traven: I would suppose that tarantulas wouldn't necessarily make great Valentine's Day gifts.
	11:07am annette: agree. but something special about seeing those tiny things waltzing under the street lamps
	♥ 11:10am joe mulligan: ↳ Karl @10:58 I didn’t like his persona, dunno why I liked any of Kiss for that matter. My older brother would always tell me Kiss sucked and show the bad reviews on Audiophile magazine
	11:11am vixo: FIRE!!!!
	11:12am annette: HEY HEY... WHUTS WRONG WITH EXPENSIVE JEANS ??? WENT TO THREE WALMARTS TO GET 4 PAIR AT 15 BUCKS EACH

	11:31am Noir Lover: Fans of cowbell in NYC come to my all vinyl brazilian dj set on Sunday in Brooklyn mamatriedbk.com...
	♥ 11:32am Ike: ↳ ❤️🏴❤️ @11:02 Sounds good. Cover?
	11:33am Toothgrinder Tom: JA’s playlists should be downloaded and studied at length attentively by jazz aficionados as if they were Talmudic scholars.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from February 14, 2025

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	♥ 9:08am Rob Bric-à-brac: Oh, it's Miles alright!
	♥ 9:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ LiXiviated Life @9:08 Must go back to the Provençal troubadours.

	9:17am Fredericks: Donna Lee is a Charlie Parker tune, no?
	9:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:14 Just those two. It was pretty disappointing to me. They did this dirgey electronic drone that just sucked all the energy out of the room. Too many computers, loopers, etc. It's not fun to watch people just staring at screens and turning knobs. They didn't even look at each other. And the music was completely static. But when Puzzle House got onstage the energy returned! They had some great tunes (written by Zerang) and played really well as an ensemble.
	9:19am rx "rexy" scabin: @Fredericks yes, I think so.
	9:19am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:18 Next week's opener should be more fun!
	9:20am honest Bernardo from Argentina: I missed wake traffic can you play it again Clay ?
	♥ 9:20am Lizardner Dave !: Joe Allen, Clay.
	9:21am George: Wikipedia states that: "Donna Lee" is a jazz standard tune attributed to Charlie Parker, although Miles Davis has also claimed authorship.
	9:21am AnotherJon: Mornin JA jammers!
	9:21am Audrey from Colombia: Clay always gets extremely anxious about marathons, I don’t understand why
	♥ 9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:07 Have fun at the Yoko Ono exhibit today!
	9:22am Charles in Chicago: ↳ George @9:21 "Although Davis claimed being the author, noted composer, arranger Gil Evans in a radio interview on WKCR FM, NYC stated publicly that the true author of the piece was drummer Norman "Tiny" Khan who taught the melody to Davis who then taught it to Parker."
	9:22am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:19 Who opens next week?
	9:22am JAIME: West Bank Café for dinner?
	9:23am annette: OMG YOKO HAS 91 YEARS
	9:23am Charles in Chicago: ↳ No Big Thing in Chicago @9:22 Jane Baxter Miller+ Kent Kessler - Zerang told me they'd be playing country music
	9:23am jennyfruit: todd had guessed correctly the restaurant is joe allen....JA lol
	9:23am tonyb: Joe Allan’s for dinner? Check the meatloaf & martini.
	9:23am Tinley Park Randy: Kennedy Center
	♥ 9:23am PaulRobeson1925: Going down to the sea with my babyyy. Goin’ Down down to the riverside gonna get real close gonna get real tiGht
	9:24am Mark: I re-listened to the exchange between you two last Friday. It was so special and had a lasting impact.
	9:24am marks: you are right Clay, I stopped supporting the station couple of year ago, because of some DJs (not you) getting too political. I still listen though.
	♥ 9:24am Karl: Hell yes Clay
	♥ 9:24am Levi: i second the no more politics clay.
	9:24am rx "rexy" scabin: @Charles in Chicago Jaco used it for practicing. He references Charlie Parker's improvisation.
	♥ 9:25am Karl: When people say they stop giving to the station because of something a DJ said, I give more
	9:25am Jon: No I'm looking at Joe Allan's on Yelp... looks delicious! I'll fly to NYC for that!
	9:25am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Karl @9:25 YES
	9:25am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:18 That definitely sounds like them, ha. I feel like I've seen sets from them akin to what you saw last night but also caught at least a couple where they seemed to be playing really conversantly. They played a show in our local park's concert series last Summer and it was really great, at least until my kiddo broke their elbow.
	9:26am marks: ↳ Karl @9:25 way to go!
	9:26am No Big Thing in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:23 Ooh, that sounds great.
	9:26am annette: WOOF MOO PARTY ONLY POLITICS WE NEED
	9:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @Audrey from Columbia just speculating but perhaps it’s because the audience for Wake is larger and broader than that of many other WFMU shows, so he feels a disproportionate amount of pressure to bring in pledges?
	♥ 9:27am luka: ↳ Song: "flute juice" by "dave valentin" shirts off like herbie mann
	9:27am honest Bernardo from Argentina: This is fantastic
	9:27am Rednex: PREMIUM QUALITY JAZZ
	♥ 9:27am bearded wonder: ↳ Karl @9:25 Right there with you
	♥ 9:27am Karl: ↳ luka @9:27 Shirts vs. skins, skins win (on account of the Herbie Mann effect, causing there to be no shirts)
	9:28am allison: Hearing yesterday that my favorite WFMU dj is “moderate” was a huge disappointment honestly :(
	♥ 9:28am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "flute juice" by "dave valentin" Careful over there, Dave spilled some flute juice or something...
	♥ 9:29am Jack McGuire: Clay flexed his jazz bone too much, now the flute juice is everywhere.
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: Well, I have to take off. Chaperoning K8's HS kids to see Yoko Ono's Wish Trees at the Armory. Thanks, JA! Keep your shirts off, J'All.
	9:29am Fredericks: ↳ Karl @9:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KATvs8XaCLs
	♥ 9:30am Karl: ↳ BillyLundun @9:28 Wait... is flute juice... bong water?
	♥ 9:30am regina j: ↳ Karl @9:25 same here!
	♥ 9:30am BillyLundun: ↳ Karl @9:30 Doesn't smell like bong water...
	9:30am Jon: ↳ Karl @9:30 That's what I've always called it!
	♥ 9:30am bearded wonder: ↳ JAIME @9:22 the union I work for used to have its office right near there and some of the old timers had amazing stories about West Bank back in the day
	♥ 9:30am luka: ↳ Karl @9:27 skins vs. hairshirts
	9:31am estebangrande: Hi JA and jaamzzers, saw Kamasi Washington last night in MIA
	♥ 9:31am Polyus: Had to squeeze a lot of flutes to get one lousy glass of flute juice.
	9:31am Rednex: This song might be even better than Cotton Eyed Joe
	♥ 9:31am Jack McGuire: Do flutes have a flute juice release valve?
	9:32am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:24 If you don't get into politics, politics will still get into you.
	♥ 9:32am BillyLundun: ↳ Polyus @9:31 Yeah, and it doesn't taste like store bought either...
	♥ 9:33am BillyLundun: ↳ Fredericks @9:32 Canada and many countries are feeling the full of effect these days of 'not into politics'
	9:33am Bakester: Sounds great; keep up the good work, JA!
	9:34am annette: i can pee my pants playing bass. does that count ???
	9:35am weezycarneezy: …so don’t listen to this…
	9:35am marks: ↳ Fredericks @9:32 oh, I do, just don't appreciate ignorant propaganda some people spread.
	9:35am John Allen: ↳ marks @9:24 marks i hope clay and i can count on your support in march!
	♥ 9:35am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Fredericks @9:32 That's the one thing I come back to when I get to the 'fuck this, I can't follow politics anymore'. It's no different really than conservatives saying they don't believe in science. Whether or not you believe in/follow either, they still exist and have an effect on you regardless.
	9:36am Fredericks: ↳ Karl @9:25 Nice.
	9:36am pmcWhenever: timing is precious. dadd_yoh
	9:36am Coneheads: Feel like I’m shopping in Guitar Center right now

	9:38am honest Bernardo in Argentina: ↳ John Allen @9:35 marks you gotta give! If u turn on the radio you GOTTA. or the station will go dark and Clay will have to street interview himself under a bridge. Is that what you want???
	9:38am space clothes in Fairfield NJ: Yes live performance sounding
	9:39am marks: ↳ John Allen @9:35 :) if I change your mind, your show will be one to get my support for sure.
	♥ 9:39am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:38 All I have to say to that is HOLY DIVER
	9:39am Audrey from Colombia: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:26 Yeah, could be. Still, he always hits his goal quickly and even surpasses it
	9:41am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:35 Ignorant Propaganda Program sounds like something Kenny G would host.
	9:41am annette: when meditating, forget that OOHHMMM . just do the WOOF MOO
	♥ 9:42am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "heat sinking susan" by "severed heads" This is agreeing with my humours!

	9:42am honest Bernardo in Argentina: Oooo JA is a Funky Boy today ! Keep it going baby
	♥ 9:43am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ marks @9:39 Seems shortsighted to punish the whole of FMU for the behavior of a small percentage of the staff.

	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Crownless Gander: If you think Severed Heads are bringing in the Gen Z crowd, I have news for you.
	9:47am Tinley Park Randy: Flying Burrito Brothers version is best.
	9:48am Colin: Snow runner is the game for you Clay. John is so salty!!!
	9:48am marks: ↳ ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore) @9:43 I just felt I cannot support something like that, it did not sit well with me, I believe me, I regret it. I do hope, this will change, honestly. I'm not worried though, seems there are 5 people here who give more, only to alienate me and people like me more. ;)
	9:49am Blau: Underwear Pidge.
	9:50am PhillyG: First heard the Dunlop expression in Spaceman Bill Lee’s excellent memoir “The Wrong Stuff”. One Spring Training, George Scott reported to his teammates that he was playing through Dunlop disease as over the winter his belly done lopped over his belt.

	♥ 9:57am bearded wonder: ↳ marks @9:48 I hear plenty of stuff on WFMU I don't like, musically and otherwise. I loathe Valentine's Day - still gonna pledge to Clay and WFMY, even after that sappy show ;)
	♥ 9:58am Karl: Here for the wasabi pea talk
	♥ 9:58am bearded wonder: The simple question is, do I want WFMU to continue to exist? If the answer is "yes", I make sure to pledge
	9:58am Kay: What wine pairs with wasabi peas?
	9:58am annette: @Crownless; write a book. life is useless without an EX.
	9:59am Fredericks: ↳ marks @9:48 Where do you go for reliable political information?
	9:59am rx "rexy" scabin: @Kay Mateus

	10:00am Triple G: Actually laughing out loud, this is great

	♥ 10:01am Karl: ↳ Song: "donkey" by "jaco metheny ditmas bley" JA do you know if this was live?
	10:01am Blau: Bill Frisell is an amazing human. No question.
	10:02am John Allen: ↳ Karl @10:01 recorded at blue rock studio nyc
	10:02am John Allen: ↳ Blau @10:01 Bill is the spirit animal of the guitar
	♥ 10:02am steveo: Good morning. I love Yul Brynner.
	10:04am Kay: @rx thanks possibly a pop rocks and coke combo. worth a try.
	10:05am Blau: He plays a very worn telecaster and his tech says his amp sucks. Funny stuff.

	♥ 10:10am luka: JA thank you i think this is the song i am most thankful for learning about through WFMU if such a thing can be quantified
	10:11am wimpy: I always wondered how sharrock played these songs live, if he did. hes soloing over the chords which he also plays, which on a recording is easy enough to accomplish, but live I wonder if he just didn't play the chords or used a looper pedal or something
	10:12am wimpy: he does the same thing on green line with miroslav
	♥ 10:17am Karl: JA and other guitar jazz freaks: I came across an interesting record with Robert Quine on it the other day, the record COLD TUBE by Kazuyoshi Saito.
	♥ 10:18am Barney Grubbs: there’s a live video from 1990 where it seems like he’s leaving the chording to the keyboard & sometimes bass. It’s always amazing to see him play even on old videos youtu.be...
	10:19am annette: @crownless : still respect those Men. and i thank them for the fine folks they gave to me
	10:21am wimpy: Ah interesting, thanks I’ll have to check that out

	♥ 10:29am steveo: I would put a trombone through that pedal or maybe a sousaphone
	♥ 10:30am PaulRobeson1925: On the cover of each volume is a stylized Eagle with it’s wings spread and the words KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
	10:31am annette: sorry to repeat myself, but still in love with shriekback slap bass
	♥ 10:32am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	♥ 10:34am steveo: ↳ steveo @10:29 I would not put a trombone through a sousaphone, however
	10:34am Noir Lover: ↳ Song: "positive halfway" by "basic" Saw Basic at the winter jazz fest last month. Union Pool...intimate venue. Everyone 2 ft apart just jamming out in their own space. It was perfect. Felt like the Nick Cave performances from the movie Wings of Desire.
	♥ 10:34am PaulRobeson1925: For instance, Mr.Fredericks I just flipped open the book between Bower-bird and Bowman and
