Listener comments!
	3:04pm Laura L: Hello Irwin--is it a ghost town around Jersey City this week?
	3:06pm Irwin: Ample on-street parking everywhere, LL.
	3:07pm FƍFƍ (: Good evening, Irwin, people! Glad to be here.
	3:09pm Laura L: What're the kids in the picture looking up at in the sky? I can't make it out.
	3:10pm FƍFƍ (: Perhaps they hear the ogre coming! It's le petit poucet!
	3:11pm Irwin: LL: It's from Hop-o-My-Thumb. Lookitup.
	3:12pm still b/p: They fear the tennis ball lobbed from afar.
	3:13pm Laura L: Ah, I don't know le petit poucet but I'll lookitup when I stop working on a book after Friday--only have about 430 pieces of art to prep for printing to get it done...
	3:14pm Michael 98145: under my Tom Thumb
	3:14pm Mike East: Fantastic drum solo.
	3:15pm Hoboken Jack: The kids are looking at a red balloon.
	3:15pm Irwin: That was Stanton Moore on kit.
	3:16pm FƍFƍ (: Irwin, Last week, by any chance, did you play any music by Carrie Fisher or by George Michael?
	3:18pm Irwin: I relinquished the curse to other staffers. Told them to use it responsibly.
	3:21pm Michael 98145: great set!
	3:29pm FƍFƍ (: So it seems to me People Like Us played irresponsibly George Michael's last week (4 days before his death).
	3:30pm V Priceless: Hey Irwin!
	3:40pm Listening Out There: Yeah
	3:40pm Whosondephone: The kids listen to the rap music which causes the brain damage.
	3:40pm Irwin: Somebody look up the pianist on this Mingus piece.
	3:43pm Fuzzy: Don Pullen.
	3:43pm melinda: I like your bed music.
	3:46pm Irwin: Bed music in that break by Raymond Scott.
	3:54pm Jack: I used to be able to play the first few notes of this Mahavishnu song; impressed a lot people back in the stoned age.
	3:54pm Woo: I saw Mott the Hoople open for Mahavishnu once. I miss those odd record company pairings. Someone threw a bottle at Ian Hunter who then jumped off the stage and kicked some ass.
	3:56pm nickrhombi: - breakfast with candlemass.. lunch with mahavishnu.... where else can this happen, i ask you?!
	3:56pm Listening Out There: Woo: I saw Taj Mahal with the Pointer Sisters singing backup as an opening act for Mahavishnu. So, I know whatcha mean...
	3:57pm ?: Great Show Thank You
	3:58pm nickrhombi: - that song yoused to freak me out wen i was a kid!~ that lurchey menacing intro...
	4:05pm Jack: I saw Mahvishnu at C.W. Post college in 197(mumble) can't remember - there's bootlegs of it out there - Marc Almond opened and they were good too. My friend got up to the stage and took great photos of Billy Cobham's sweat flying. And they were REALLY LOUD.
	4:10pm Kleighbells: Wow! Duane plays Alphonse Mouzon/Jaco and Irwin plays Mahavishnu. Fusion heaven!
	4:11pm Brendan: Speaking of odd pairings and bottles. John Cougar ( pre -Menstrualcramp ) opened for the Who in AZ. He was knocked unconcho by a bottle , carried off and came back wearing a hard hat and sang Hurt So Good. He profanely challenged the hurlers to try it again. They obliged.
	4:16pm rakes: What is this? It's awesome
	4:17pm mayorfrank: Where do these conversations take place?
	4:18pm mayorfrank: Hip Priest
	4:26pm Lyle: The Kirkbys. That brings back some memories. I believe it was the summer of 1968. I was playing french horn with The Electric Flag. We were playing a gig somewhere in Nebraska ... Lincoln maybe? A state fair gig. Anyway, the Kirkbys opened and they had obviously been into the special Kool-Aid. The lead singer made some allusion to being able to fly and promptly launched himself off of a twenty-foot tower of speakers. Mind you, this was in the pre-stage diving days, so no one caught him when he fell. The leap occurred during a quiet passage in the music, so we all heard the resounding thud as he belly-flopped onto the hard-packed dirt in front of the stage. As I recall, the crowd roared and the band kicked back in. Everyone thought it was part of the act, so much so that he repeated the feat for a few more dates on the tour before he was replaced by a pre-Elvin Bishop, Mickey Thomas. Mickey was asked to duplicate the popular stage dive, but refused. He was promptly fired and was replaced by a very briefly by the aging actor Karl Malden, of all people! Suffice it to say, this didn't last long. Malden does play bongoes on "It's a Crime". He is unfortunately buried in the mix.
	4:30pm Lyle: Please excuse the typo. My hands are so stiff these days, especially in the cooler months. I was recently asked to join a reconfigured version of Rare Earth, but had to decline due to stiffness.
	4:31pm Lyle: Oh Dear Lord. Embarrassing. I may not post again for some time. Happy New Year all.
	4:38pm Courtney of Morris: It's ok Lyle we are here for you
	4:40pm drewo: Let me see what i've got saved in the fridge here... thanks Irwin for providing to us the inimitable Joe Frank.
	4:48pm Lyle: Thank you, Courtney. You're very kind. I get excited when Irwin plays songs that trigger musical memories. He is good at that. He's also a fine drummer who sometimes reminds me of Keith Knudson in some ways. Did you know that Keith Knudson played with Lee Michaels before joining the Doobie Bros? I just read that on my computer. Love the little facts that make music so interesting.
	4:50pm Irwin: Happy Knudson Year to you, Lyle.
	👻 4:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Lyle - You should call into Dave Hill's show on Monday nights, if you can. That's a great forum for rock and roll stories like yours.
	4:51pm Irwin: Lyle has memories of everyone in show biz. He knew Casper the Friendly Ghost when he was still alive.
	4:55pm common: good day all!
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...missed Frank Marino gawshdarnit...
	5:00pm Michael 98145: anything is possible - if you just believe
	5:10pm melinda: Digging the Vanishing Twin.
	5:13pm Michael 98145: - The vanished twin can die owing to a poorly implanted placenta -
	5:14pm Hoboken Jack: hey this "Angels of Porn 2" is pretty freaking great.
	5:15pm Irwin: Nicole's lyrics are very disturbing. Check her stuff on Bandcamp. Not for the faint-of-heart.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jeepers. Musician. Yerknow - Keith Emerson wasn't far from this stuff...
	5:20pm geezerette: Enjoying Brian Haas...enjoyed.
	5:23pm Irwin: Hallo, Jack. T-O-P Todd just showed me (on his phone) your Xmas card to Tunes.
	5:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hallo Irwin. Only card I could muster this year but I knew their office door was counting on me. Remember your neighbor who wrote Nilsson liner notes?
	5:26pm Mayor Frank: Fine tunage. Is that how you spell it?
	5:28pm Jeezy: This was the PERFECT show to Citibike over the Williamsburg bridge into Manhattan to...
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Smithereens.
	5:32pm Michael 98145: - Please return your speaker to the cradle when leaving the theater, thank you -
	5:33pm Mayor Frank: Yes! Still going strong.
	5:35pm Linda Lee: enjoying the show enormously tonight Irwin!! nothing better for driving over dark mountain roads by moonlit snow, than that last set.
	5:35pm Irwin: Best remake by the sort-of-original group almost ever.
	5:35pm Michael 98145: drive carefully, @LL
	5:36pm Linda Lee: i'm home now! thank goddess!
	5:36pm Irwin: Guitar solo by Steve Vai
	5:37pm Linda Lee: thank you Michael 98145!
	5:37pm V Priceless: nice 'reens/'birds segue, Ir!
	5:37pm geezerette: A favorite song by a favorite group! :)
	5:37pm Michael 98145: what she said
	5:37pm Linda Lee: i loved the Yardbirds when their music was new & i was just old enough to turn the radio on. :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: loved them ever since.
	5:38pm geezerette: You were a toddler with taste!
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a Pop group spotlighting Guitar players...well - gotta distinguish themselves from the Stones @ the Crawdaddy Club somehow I guess...
	5:39pm Linda Lee: we were lucky, geezerette! :-)
	5:40pm geezerette: hey Michael! RevRab! Yep Linda, we were indeed!
	5:40pm Linda Lee: i was a bit older than a toddler, but not much :-D
	5:42pm Linda Lee: i'm listening on a radio at least that old, so it's all good :-)
	5:42pm Michael 98145: whoa. howcome i don't remember this Ian cut ...?
	5:43pm geezerette: love Janis Ian. wow,think she checked out this year too!
	5:44pm Linda Lee: no, she's still with us. she posted to facebook a few days ago.
	5:44pm geezerette: whew! still with us. :)
	5:45pm Michael 98145: @gz'ette, nope. tho she's had some health issues. met her a couple times -- nice indeed
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Janis Ian likes to post Godzilla Haikus...she's a SciFi writer too!...
	5:47pm Linda Lee: she'll always have a place in my heart as the first female pop star to come out, to my knowledge
	5:48pm Linda Lee: many years ago now.
	5:52pm cosmic matrix: wow, sounds like that percussion track is a piece of paper on a pillow or something! i thought i wuz the only one who figured that one out
	5:52pm cosmic matrix: too bad that guys playing a little late
	5:52pm Linda Lee: not a kalabash?
	5:53pm cosmic matrix: dunno, maybe, sounds like a paper bag to me
	5:53pm cosmic matrix: oh wait, that's called SWING
	5:53pm Linda Lee: yes love. :-)
	5:54pm cosmic matrix: haha
	5:55pm Michael 98145: thanks for all the great jazz today, DJ Irwin
	5:57pm cosmic matrix: from a review on amazon: "With the exception of Track 1, where latin percussionist Osvaldo Martinez plays something resembling maracas as if they were jumping beans in a paper bag, this is a great CD. Fortunately, he's more restrained on the other tracks, so don't let Track 1 deter you from enjoying this music."
	5:59pm Linda Lee: oh fer heaven's sake. :-D
