	9:17pm Mike East: Excellent! Well, good evening to both of you, and all the commenters.
	9:18pm gongoleer: Hi Irene & Don, I love that even in the north country of Vt. I can hear you. What a treat! Wish I were there. Loving your selections as always. Maybe you'll play something off the "basement tapes". Hey Don, great to hear your voice. I'll be listening till the end. SB
	9:34pm golde: this is a nick drake song
	9:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: The state of the union attendees should send their applause your way!
	9:41pm Andrew: Suddenly remembered what's special about Tuesday evening. Not used to the new time yet. Sounds good!
	9:47pm Mike Sin: Well, this was a nice surprise to hear Don Bikoff on WFMU after a long ride home. I was quite fortunate to engineer a set from Don Bikoff on Jeffrey Davison's show a few years ago, and it was quite a superb experience.
	9:54pm JakeGould: Loving this!
	9:54pm JakeGould: How’s the Union? Anyone know the state it’s in?
	9:56pm Guitar man: This is a dream show for me Irene xoxo
	10:05pm Robert: I just got back from a political meeting, and this is a good refuge from more politics in the form of the state of the union address.
	10:06pm redkayak: This IS an awesome set...
	10:06pm JakeGould: Personally putting the kibosh on political discussions and gentrification discussions in 2015. Just sick of it all.
	10:10pm gongoleer: i'm watching lips move but hear nothing new being said. The music is a sweet & finer alternative. A huge thank you.
	10:12pm Ike: @Jake@10:06, tell that to Jake@9:54(2)! XD
	10:13pm gongoleer: Yes they do exist in pockets throughout the U. S.
	10:13pm JakeGould: Ike, you revealed my ruse! Ack!
	10:15pm JakeGould: Here is a list of male barbershop groups. It doesn’t get much whiter. www.singers.com...
	10:17pm JakeGould: “Yes they do exist in pockets throughout the U.S.” Not in my pocket.
	10:17pm gongoleer: Ratings are through the roof. Your audience is international and O'bama's is mainly National.
	10:17pm Hugh C: My sister belongs to a Sweet Adelines Society, they always perform with a barbershop quartet...she's in rural Colorado...they compete all over, vieing for a national championship.
	10:20pm Van in DC: Hi Irene. Oh snap. I just realized it's Tuesday. Not Monday.
	10:21pm JakeGould: And here are female barbershop groups. www.singers.com...
	10:22pm JakeGould: Van, is “Sonny & Cher” playing on your clock radio?
	10:23pm Van in DC: Irene - loved your engineering for Caitlin on Jeffrey's show this past Saturday. For anyone who missed it: wfmu.org...
	10:24pm Van in DC: Sonny? Cher. Cher? Sonny. Sonny? Tree.... Cher? Crazy....
	10:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...phew...great to be home away from the schlubs @ the local pub, just to see my Irish Trad pals ...some kinda master Live we got here ! - the real stuff ...great photo!...
	10:26pm Van in DC: Mr. Bikoff, wanted to ask you if classical guitar has been any influence on you? In particular, I can't help but think of David Russell when I sometimes hear you play. And that is meant as a huge compliment.
	10:28pm Van in DC: No pinkeys! :)
	10:29pm Van in DC: Thanks for that Irene & Don.
	10:34pm Van in DC: * applause *
	10:38pm Hugh C: Ahhh, memories of Dave Van Ronk....saw him so many times, drunk, sober, mostly drunk.
	10:38pm JakeGould: The version of “Green, Green Rocky Road” from Inside Llewyn Davis: www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm Van in DC: Okay Don, you now have to be a semi-regular co-host for Irene's show. We're expecting that. Just so you know.
	10:41pm Van in DC: I just never can get enough of Don's guitar. Many thanks for showing up.
	10:44pm Van in DC: Samantha Fish - incredible blues guitarist / vocalist, also helps out. FMU has no idea who she is sadly.
	10:45pm JakeGould: Irene, great show. Don Bikoff is awesome.
	10:46pm Van in DC: There's a youtube of Samantha with Buddy Guy even. BUDDY FREAKING GUY. live.
	10:47pm Van in DC: Oh, like...here. www.youtube.com...
	10:51pm Van in DC: loving this
	10:54pm Van in DC: So we're in Don's DJ'ing...?
	10:54pm Carmichael: Oh hey, hi Irene. Hi folks.
	10:55pm Van in DC: CARM! Hi ya.
	10:56pm Irene Trudel: Yes, Don's picking the music for the whole show tonight.
	10:56pm Van in DC: Oh! I figured the John Fahey would have been you Irene :)
	10:57pm Van in DC: So far, Don's stuff is a kind of curious mix between Irene / Doug / Jeffrey from what I have heard so far. I likes. ;)
	10:58pm Carmichael: Hi Van! And yay, Don!
	10:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Irene, is it in your power to announce over the air that the state of WFMU is just super? Actually, it's probably one blown transmitter away from financial troubles. Tonight, it's in fine shape.
	11:01pm Van in DC: Now see, this right here is about as far away from classical guitar as I can envision. But I like it.
	11:02pm Carmichael: That's Mississippi Fred McDowell.
	11:02pm Van in DC: snap crackle pop - love that too
	11:03pm Irene Trudel: Oh, right Van, the Fahey is my choice for talkover. I wasn't really counting it.
	11:03pm Van in DC: Now I'm really kind of curious if Mr. Bikoff is a fan of Doug's Give the Drummer Some show...?
	11:04pm gongoleer: Anybody ever hear of British guitarist Davey Graham? What an inventive player.
	11:05pm Van in DC: I missed the Fahey playing but glad I know you at least a little by now :)
	11:06pm Carmichael: Weren't we just talking about Lightnin Hopkins/Albert Collins/Texas Alexander over on the Drummer stream?
	11:07pm Van in DC: NOW we're talkin'! (blues)
	11:07pm Squish: Hey folks….new listener in Wisconsin!
	11:07pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Kevin! Glad to know our state of affairs at WFMU is in good order.
	11:08pm Van in DC: hi Squish! You could not have picked a better time or show to debut here :)
	11:09pm Irene Trudel: Cool Squish! Glad to have you for this special show
	11:09pm Van in DC: @ gongoleer: I don't know Davey Graham but will now have to research ... thanks!
	11:11pm Van in DC: Well...you have that Buddy Guy / Samantha Fish youtube link to follow up with now.... I DARE YA :) ......right....
	11:13pm Van in DC: MORE LIVE DON! MORE LIVE DON!
	11:15pm Van in DC: So, is this in the new performance area, the horribly named one? Or in the love room, or whatever it is called...? I forget.
	11:16pm Van in DC: And of course, someone is snapping photos to post later...?
	11:16pm Carmichael: That was Railroad Bill.
	11:17pm Carmichael: Or Freight Train.
	11:17pm redkayak: According to wikipedia - a pallet can also be a straw mattress
	11:19pm Hugh C: Patrick Sky!
	11:19pm Carmichael: Davey Graham, poor loon that he is, is a master guitarist. Just don't mention Bert Jansch or John Redbourn, he goes nuts about those 2.
	11:19pm gongoleer: @van in dc, i believe he's deceased but was really prolific and as I said innovative. You'll be surprised! He had a lot of influence on my appreciation & understanding of guitar players after hearing Don way back when.
	11:19pm Mike East: Been really enjoyable tonight...great one to archive! Time to lock up. I'll catch the end in the car. Peace all.
	11:20pm gongoleer: @carmichael, you're not kidding. That's the truth.
	11:20pm Van in DC: Thanks gongoleer, I will definitely do a research of him
	11:21pm Van in DC: Safe travels Mike East
	11:22pm Van in DC: CRANK IT UP!
	11:23pm Irene Trudel: G'nite Mike!
	11:24pm Van in DC: * more applause *
	11:24pm gongoleer: according to wikipedia, Patrick Sky is recognized as an expert in building and playing the Irish uillean pipes, often performing with his wife, Cathy. He has also published several books on the subject.
	11:24pm Mike East: thanks guys! (freakin Dead cover band is taking their sweet ass time gettin' outta here...)
	11:24pm Carmichael: Van, his famous work was Mood something, Blues Mood, Blues Indigo, jaysis its been too long.
	11:26pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for the update, gongoleeer! I often wonder about these older musicians and should take more time to look 'em up on the web. They're a lot easier to find now.
	11:26pm Van in DC: Well, not famous to me but I live a sheltered life. That's why I'm here at FMU trying to expand my horribly limited horizons. :)
	11:27pm JakeGould: Van, don’t be too hard on yourself. The Internet does make it easier to research forgotten artists and even support them. All good.
	11:27pm Van in DC: Mike East - in dc by chance...?
	11:28pm gongoleer: Famous only if you were alive in the late 60's/early 70's.
	11:28pm Van in DC: JakeGould - oh, I support. I do indeed.
	11:29pm Van in DC: Old or "Ole"?
	11:31pm Mike East: no, Van NYC.
	11:31pm Irene Trudel: Old, according to a quick web search.
	11:32pm Van in DC: Ah okay well still safe travels Mike. And, okay, Irene. Thanks for "search"ing and not, you know, "googling" :)
	11:36pm Carmichael: This sounds like a good Am blues tune. The E7 gives it away ...
	11:36pm gongoleer: @Irene Trudel, Yes internet helps. Amazing what's out there to discover. @van in DC, it's older not ole. Some of us listeners are dinosaurs.LOL. HI DON.
	11:36pm Van in DC: :)
	11:38pm Van in DC: Just saying - this particular Irene show will be revisited by me on the magical FMU archives many times I suspect.
	11:39pm JakeGould: Koko the Clown sings “St. James Infirmary” www.youtube.com...
	11:39pm Van in DC: Yes indeed. Beautiful.
	11:40pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Jake! One of my all time faves from the amazing minds of the Fleischers.
	11:41pm Van in DC: See....somewhere right in here is where I can get a classical guitar kind of influence from like a David Russell. I don't know why exactly but there it is.
	11:41pm JakeGould: You’re welcome Irene. Cab Calloway collaborated a lot with the Fleischers. www.youtube.com...
	11:43pm Van in DC: STANDING OVATION
	11:44pm Carmichael: Jake, you also heard the Cab Calloway. So i'm NOT crazy!
	11:44pm gongoleer: ask him to play "our tune" xlv(forty five)
	11:45pm Van in DC: just three more hours to play live Don. Keep going.
	11:46pm JakeGould: “The Fleischers put popular, modern music at the center of many of their films, building entire cartoons around jazz legends such as Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong and Don Redman. These cartoons often featured the Fleischers’ signature combination of live action and animation; in fact the earliest known footage of Cab Calloway in performance can be seen in the Fleischer classic Minnie the Moocher.” www.fleischerstudios.com...
	11:46pm gongoleer: see if he'll do an encore with xlv.
	11:47pm Van in DC: I could honestly listen to Don play this 12 string all night.
	11:47pm Carmichael: OK, HERE'S Fright Train.
	11:48pm JakeGould: “Old Man of the Mountain” is creepy. The old man of the mountain gets a hippo pregnant and then the rest of the cartoon is basically him harassing Betty Boop.
	11:48pm Carmichael: ha ha. "freight"
	11:48pm Van in DC: THANK YOU MR. DON BIKOFF!!!
	11:48pm JakeGould: The full “Snow White” cartoon here. www.youtube.com...
	11:49pm JakeGould: And here is “Minnie the Moocher” with an amazing live opening with Cab Calloway. youtu.be...
	11:51pm gongoleer: Wonderful show Irene. Don, outstanding as usual. Like the new song too. SB
	11:52pm Van in DC: So that was don dot bikoff at gmail? did I get that right?
	11:54pm Irene Trudel: Don's email is donald.bikoff@gmail.com
	11:54pm Van in DC: Thanks Irene. I was just about to follow up that I'll hear it again on archive but many thanks :)
	11:55pm JakeGould: Before the show ends, thanks for the show and the tangential memories as well!
	11:57pm Van in DC: Many thanks Irene!! Special thanks to Mr. Bikoff!
	11:57pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for all the great comments, and for tuning in. Catch everybody next week. Live music then too, with The Cellar and Point.
	11:59pm gongoleer: same time same station. Blessings to all.
	12:04am Carmichael: Yes, thank you both very much!
	🥁 5:03am Sean in Bristol UK: Wow, what a great show, Don Bikoff was awesome and great to hear some of Don's choices of music. And great comments from all The Trukeepers, I always read them. Great show, Irene, thank you to you and Don.

Upcoming events:

Mon. Nov 25th, Noon - 3pm: Bipolar Explorer (More info...)
With the release of their 12th album, Bipolar Explorer continues their beautiful tradition of dream-pop songs and landscapes. "Memories of the Sky" was in part inspired by a Paris exhibition of the works of Louis Janmot, and the reoccurring imagery of protective angels. Frontman Michael Wells, along with Vocalist /Keyboardist Sylvia Solanis visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.

January 20, 2015: A sweet winter's eve with Don Bikoff.

Popping in to play a few tunes for a wintery night, Don Bikoff is a fingerstyle guitarist who has had a resurgence thanks to the reissue of his debut "Celestial Explosion." Bikoff returned to the studio after that long break to put out last year's "Hallowed Ground." To shake things up a little for this show, Don dropped by for the evening with a couple of guitars and an armload of vinyl to co-host with Irene.

	11:19pm Carmichael: Davey Graham, poor loon that he is, is a master guitarist. Just don't mention Bert Jansch or John Redbourn, he goes nuts about those 2.
	11:19pm gongoleer: @van in dc, i believe he's deceased but was really prolific and as I said innovative. You'll be surprised! He had a lot of influence on my appreciation & understanding of guitar players after hearing Don way back when.
	11:19pm Mike East: Been really enjoyable tonight...great one to archive! Time to lock up. I'll catch the end in the car. Peace all.
	11:20pm gongoleer: @carmichael, you're not kidding. That's the truth.
	11:20pm Van in DC: Thanks gongoleer, I will definitely do a research of him
	11:21pm Van in DC: Safe travels Mike East
	11:22pm Van in DC: CRANK IT UP!
	11:23pm Irene Trudel: G'nite Mike!
	11:24pm Van in DC: * more applause *
	11:24pm gongoleer: according to wikipedia, Patrick Sky is recognized as an expert in building and playing the Irish uillean pipes, often performing with his wife, Cathy. He has also published several books on the subject.
	11:24pm Mike East: thanks guys! (freakin Dead cover band is taking their sweet ass time gettin' outta here...)
	11:24pm Carmichael: Van, his famous work was Mood something, Blues Mood, Blues Indigo, jaysis its been too long.
	11:26pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for the update, gongoleeer! I often wonder about these older musicians and should take more time to look 'em up on the web. They're a lot easier to find now.
	11:26pm Van in DC: Well, not famous to me but I live a sheltered life. That's why I'm here at FMU trying to expand my horribly limited horizons. :)
	11:27pm JakeGould: Van, don’t be too hard on yourself. The Internet does make it easier to research forgotten artists and even support them. All good.
	11:27pm Van in DC: Mike East - in dc by chance...?
	11:28pm gongoleer: Famous only if you were alive in the late 60's/early 70's.
	11:28pm Van in DC: JakeGould - oh, I support. I do indeed.
	11:29pm Van in DC: Old or "Ole"?
	11:31pm Mike East: no, Van NYC.
	11:31pm Irene Trudel: Old, according to a quick web search.
	11:32pm Van in DC: Ah okay well still safe travels Mike. And, okay, Irene. Thanks for "search"ing and not, you know, "googling" :)
	11:36pm Carmichael: This sounds like a good Am blues tune. The E7 gives it away ...
	11:36pm gongoleer: @Irene Trudel, Yes internet helps. Amazing what's out there to discover. @van in DC, it's older not ole. Some of us listeners are dinosaurs.LOL. HI DON.
	11:36pm Van in DC: :)
	11:38pm Van in DC: Just saying - this particular Irene show will be revisited by me on the magical FMU archives many times I suspect.
	11:39pm JakeGould: Koko the Clown sings “St. James Infirmary” www.youtube.com...
	11:39pm Van in DC: Yes indeed. Beautiful.
	11:40pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Jake! One of my all time faves from the amazing minds of the Fleischers.
	11:41pm Van in DC: See....somewhere right in here is where I can get a classical guitar kind of influence from like a David Russell. I don't know why exactly but there it is.
	11:41pm JakeGould: You’re welcome Irene. Cab Calloway collaborated a lot with the Fleischers. www.youtube.com...
	11:43pm Van in DC: STANDING OVATION
	11:44pm Carmichael: Jake, you also heard the Cab Calloway. So i'm NOT crazy!
	11:44pm gongoleer: ask him to play "our tune" xlv(forty five)
	11:45pm Van in DC: just three more hours to play live Don. Keep going.
	11:46pm JakeGould: “The Fleischers put popular, modern music at the center of many of their films, building entire cartoons around jazz legends such as Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong and Don Redman. These cartoons often featured the Fleischers’ signature combination of live action and animation; in fact the earliest known footage of Cab Calloway in performance can be seen in the Fleischer classic Minnie the Moocher.” www.fleischerstudios.com...
	11:46pm gongoleer: see if he'll do an encore with xlv.
	11:47pm Van in DC: I could honestly listen to Don play this 12 string all night.
	11:47pm Carmichael: OK, HERE'S Fright Train.
	11:48pm JakeGould: “Old Man of the Mountain” is creepy. The old man of the mountain gets a hippo pregnant and then the rest of the cartoon is basically him harassing Betty Boop.
	11:48pm Carmichael: ha ha. "freight"
	11:48pm Van in DC: THANK YOU MR. DON BIKOFF!!!
	11:48pm JakeGould: The full “Snow White” cartoon here. www.youtube.com...
	11:49pm JakeGould: And here is “Minnie the Moocher” with an amazing live opening with Cab Calloway. youtu.be...
	11:51pm gongoleer: Wonderful show Irene. Don, outstanding as usual. Like the new song too. SB
	11:52pm Van in DC: So that was don dot bikoff at gmail? did I get that right?
	11:54pm Irene Trudel: Don's email is donald.bikoff@gmail.com
	11:54pm Van in DC: Thanks Irene. I was just about to follow up that I'll hear it again on archive but many thanks :)
