	1:22pm Carmichael: The Firesign bits where they were just pretending to read the TV guide and making up shows were stunning comedy to me.
	1:25pm Bill S: There's a nice live version of "Where Do you go to" on youtube. All this time i had no no idea what he looked like.

Great show. @Carm & kat-Watched that show too...Cavett was such a great repository for lost(but not forgotten) moments and artist from the 60s & earllier. Saw Cavett when he did 7SD last year...Very nice, amazingly humble man.
	1:55pm kat330: Listened to that 7SD as well, Kevin, and just last week we dl-ed an Alec Baldwin interview with Cavett. I think it's "Here's the Thing" on NPR. I'll check it out.

	2:11pm Carmichael: Yair!
	2:15pm Carmichael: OK, just read the Karen Dalton bios. No one seems to know too much about her, with only intriguing tidbits about her personal life. Haunting voice.
	2:19pm Marmalade kitty: Great show this afternoon, Irene! Thank you
	2:40pm Van in DC: Love the show today Irene. Sure love this Roy Harper.
	2:47pm JRG: Your show is great today.
