	8:20pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: Confession: I prefer the bagels from where you live to NYC's.
	8:21pm steve: grew up in jersey, dad from peter cooper village and still talks about days at stuyvesant high school, from a young age i always felt like nyc was where i belonged.
	8:21pm melinda: @cosmic is mousie in ok health?
	8:22pm Philthy woman: HeyO!!! beep beep
	8:23pm melinda: I like your playlist comments Gaylord.
	8:23pm listener james from westwood: For the 15th 9/11 anniversary, the Stop & Shop one town over had a table near the front with "9/11 supplies." Red, white, and blue stuff galore, food and decorations, the latter likely recycled July 4th shit. I, difficult to offend, and largely refractory to 9/11 kitsch or sentiment, was offended.
	8:23pm cosmic matrix: @melinda, this one has open eyes, is bouncy and happy and engaged. right now he is sleeping in some cotton balls. he ate tuna salad and toast.
	8:23pm geezerette: ...some of them, anyway. Lots of friends, relatives,experiences and memories in New York.
	8:24pm cosmic matrix: i miss you NYC. i will visit you again someday, i promise. i will always love you!!!!
	8:24pm melinda: That's so cute!
	8:25pm northguineahills: Yeah, I was in Loisaida 9/11, I saw the second plane hit from my ex-gf's roof.
	8:25pm cosmic matrix: i'm living vicariously through him, which is why i'm feeling a little homesick....but how nice to be taken care of!
	8:26pm cosmic matrix: sorry not to disregard the topic of the show... :(
	8:26pm cosmic matrix: or at least the timely significance
	8:27pm wittsend: my uncle died from 9 11
	8:27pm common: thank you both for this
	8:27pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: Tee-hee!
	8:28pm melinda: I'm sorry wittsend.
	8:28pm northguineahills: shit, wittsend, soryy.
	8:28pm cosmic matrix: @wittsend, i'm sorry to hear that! :((((
	8:28pm geezerette: wittsend, very sorry.
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: @wittsend: I hope this helps, or at least doesn't hurt.
	8:29pm herb.nyc: Thx for honoring NYC. But isn't that oversimplifying 9/11? Pardon my (cynical?) attitude.
	8:29pm cheri: I think new York music is the greatest Gaylord and Amanda! thanks very much Gaylord and amanda
	8:30pm JakeGould: I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan on the morning of 9/11. Friends and some extended family in Lower Manhattan so I figured why not. Got to City Hall and was turned away by NYPD. Surreal. Burned documents were still floating to the ground.
	8:30pm Parq: Wittsend, a strange, said fraternity of people who lost loved ones that day. Few visual memories will stay with me like the walls of "missing" posters and fliers all over the city in the weeks that followed.
	8:30pm geezerette: I love New Yorkers.
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @herb.nyc: We're not here for debate.
	8:31pm Maggie B.: Hey Gaylord and Amanda, and all native New Yawkiz and New Yorkers at heart - Upper West Side, Stephen Wise Towers projects girl representing - although now I live upstate. (And work next door to the new WTC now. )
	8:31pm sugarwolf: @james: and I thought stop and shop's bacon and maple cookies were in poor taste @wittsend: :(
	8:32pm gal_x: Shook the world. I remember precisely where I was, and my feelings of disbelief and worry. Always had, & it remains, much appreciation & love for NYC. And its residents, past, present, & in spirit. (…fat bagels included!)
	8:32pm maggiemaggie: I'm a native New Yorker but I was in England for 9/11. I was so homesick, and listening to archives of your show over the internet really got me through that time! Though I still have not listened to your 9/11 show.
	8:32pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaah, there's some Staten Island lurve.
	8:32pm common: indeed, gal-x
	8:32pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: Know Wise well. Friends attended St. Gregory's across the street. I'm from 10 blocks north.
	8:32pm JakeGould: Also, cops and everyone the first 48 hours after it happened were genuinely nice. After that, it all became paranoia.
	8:33pm melinda: This is lovely.
	8:34pm Webhamster Henry: I'm not a native, but lived in the City part of New York 1979-2002. My kids were born in Manhattan and Brooklyn (at home) respectively, but identify as mid-Hudsonites.
	8:35pm sugarwolf: @maggiemaggie: I was in London too! It was the day after one of my flatmates had died after being hit by a car, so it was a weird, awful time.
	8:35pm cosmic matrix: Kind of difficult to see him, but there he is.
	8:36pm ἶkε: I met Ingrid once, before she got her breakthrough by getting a song onto Grey's Anatomy. I liked her a lot.
	8:36pm herb.nyc: (I'm sorry, Gaylord)
	8:36pm Maggie B.: I went to St. Gregory too, all 8 years. So sad that both school and church are closed. It was a great place in the 60s and 70s. My friends from other parishes did not have such fond memories of Catholic grade school.
	8:36pm Gaylord Fields: @sugarwolf: I was in London a week and a half later.
	8:37pm wittsend: thanks for the wishes. tomorrow the holiday will be spent with buckets of red sauce or Rendazzo’s in Sheepshead Bay for counter-style clams on the half shell. family tradition. way to take the edge off.
	8:37pm northguineahills: 9/11 is my legal partner's bday. and one of my best friends... and an old dj partner's/
	8:38pm northguineahills: You're right Jake, the first 48 hours....
	8:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: I went to Holy Name on 97th and Amsterdam. The church is till there, but the school shuttered two years ago.
	8:39pm maggiemaggie: @sugarwolf so sorry that must have been very hard.
	8:39pm Webhamster Henry: The aftermath of 9/11 was really weird: lower Manhattan closed off a la ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, the smoke mostly blew over Brooklyn for the first few days, so legal papers etc would rain on the streets of Park Slope. I took my son to the Natural History Museum on that Thursday, it was mostly empty, but open!
	8:39pm Fuzzy: George Harrison was from Liverpool, England.
	8:39pm cheri: Gaylord, I'm quitting the comments board, just for awhile see you in the future.
	8:40pm listener james from westwood: Lisa Lisa!
	8:40pm Maggie B.: Wow, what year did you graduate? So many of my friends went to Holy Name.
	8:40pm Mr C: And Full Force!
	8:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: Class of 1974. Went to H.S. at Bronx Science. Email me offlist. Would love to talk to a homey!
	8:41pm maggiemaggie: que sera que sera!
	8:42pm Parq: "Lost in Emotion" is one of those singles that just get better and better. Wasn't the video shot during San Genarro?
	8:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I'll give them the credit too.
	8:42pm melinda: Haven't heard this is a long time!
	8:43pm maggiemaggie: @gaylord I knew exactly how old you were when you played Daktari and Hambone :)
	8:43pm herb.nyc: I'm off to see Ken Stringfellow at Cape House (bushwick)now. His TOUCHED cd came out on 9/11, and he played Maxwell's and Mercury Lounge just days after. My friends said it was amazing and uplifting.
	8:43pm Mr C: Full Force from Crooklyn...
	8:43pm Gaylord Fields: @herb.nyc: Enjoy the show!
	8:44pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: I'm not exactly hiding it.
	8:44pm Maggie B.: @ Gaylord - OK! Will email soon! What a small world.
	8:46pm cosmic matrix: <-- @Melinda
	8:49pm JakeGould: Also, I am now logged in. Anyone else at the Luna Lounge comedy show on 9/10/2001? I was! It was weird for two reasons: Demetri Martin did his act and part of it was passing out… AIRPLANE SHAPED COOKIES! They were a part of his act. And more personal, I was talking to a friend of a friend and she mentioned something about working near the World Trade Center and how dull it is. And I aded, “You know, I have never liked the World Trade Center. I’ve never felt comfortable near that place. Can’t stand it.” I never really expressed that ever before… Except that day… And then history. Jesus, Mary, Moses and Vishnu.
	8:49pm katie: Barry Manilow began this program. I can't help but want to hear Carole King too. In my childhood, they both represented the world I wanted to escape to - NYC!!!
	8:50pm listener james from westwood: I'd 'a stayed in Castle Hill/Parkchester for a good long time if it weren't for my parents!
	8:50pm JakeGould: And also… I was born in Brookdale Hospital in Brownsville. Raised in Brighton Beach. @katie: What about Neil Diamond?
	8:51pm wittsend: suzanne vega --- another victim of tom's!
	8:51pm Mr C: not Eli's Coming? who's on TV right now. Representing..your city
	8:51pm Gaylord Fields: @katie: To my reckoning, Carole King is the quintessential New York songwriter.
	8:52pm katie: @of course she is. That's why I wanted to grow up to be her.
	8:53pm JakeGould: Also, please don’t play him, but Billy Joel was like the Bruce Springsteen of deep Brooklyn. But please don’t play him.
	8:53pm katie: But Laura Nyro was pretty awesome.
	8:55pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: BJ was born in the Bronx, so he does qualify.
	8:55pm Marc Francis: Howdy Gaylord!
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Marc Francis: Hiya!
	8:56pm Mr C: Impressive!The Great Gaylord! Nice one man.
	8:56pm melinda: @katie I grew up wanting to move to NY too! Plans changed along the way.
	8:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I was hoping you'd dig the Black Ivory cut.
	8:57pm cheri: btw Gaylord I really need your opinion do you think it's time I should quit for a few weeks or continue?
	8:58pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: He does qualify. Billy Joel does indeed qualify. Also, I remember the days after 9-11, walking out of my apartment on Atlantic Avenue, looking to the left and seeing that plume of smoke… And as others have mentioned, that smell… For days. Days of that smell. Also, the piles of “Missing” posters on walls everywhere seemingly in every neighborhood.
	8:58pm melinda: @cosmic omg he's so sweet. If you zoom in you can see little ears and whiskers.
	9:00pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: You're your own boss.
	9:02pm JakeGould: FWIW, I really like the comments next to tracks here.
	9:02pm cosmic matrix: @melinda: how could pests be so cute?
	9:02pm geezerette: Love this Lou Johnson. Sounds so Bacharach/David. Just their influence?
	9:03pm melinda: @cosmic it's context, I guess.
	9:03pm Jeezy: I can't believe Paul Simon doesn't qualify.
	9:03pm cosmic matrix: wow, somebody's playing the woodblock in the other room! that's amazing
	9:04pm Gaylord Fields: @geezerette: Actual Bacharach/David song and Bacharach production. Lou Johnson was considered the male Dionne Warwick, except with no hits compared to her many.
	9:05pm wittsend: my mother looked after sean lennon
	9:07pm Jeff g.: Hi there. The light streaming up into in the sky every year at this time, from lower Manhattan, never fails to move me. Not unlike this show.
	9:07pm geezerette: @Gaylord, that was a beautiful record! Everything we've heard is.
	9:07pm Gaylord Fields: @jeff g.: Thanks.
	9:08pm northguineahills: I don't mind some of the earlier Billy Joel toons, so as long as I don't hear too often. Actually, I like quite a few. Let's Woofmoo this schiiidt!
	9:08pm JakeGould: cough John Sebastian cough
	9:10pm melinda: Laura Nyro is so good.
	9:12pm Fuzzy: Digging the New York Groove on this show tonight!
	9:14pm Maggie B.: I thought Thunders was from Queens?
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B: I said he was. Perhaps you misheard.
	9:15pm cheri: Gaylord and Amanda, why don't you stick around later tonight, i'm giving dave mandl his last harrah party!
	9:17pm cheri: the more the merrier
	9:21pm Parq: Much as love the well-known version of "Roof", the down-tempo, thoughtful version that Carole cut is just so damn poignant.
	9:23pm JakeGould: FWIW, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Upside Down” sounds like a riff on “Up on the Roof”… At least Ben E. King’s version.
	9:25pm Mike tp: just arrived see Laura nyro on the list just picked up a disc of hers live from the bottom line for a quarter!!!
	9:25pm geezerette: Great set,Amanda.
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: Loving the show, Gaylord and Amanda. So nice to hear you again, Amanda!
	9:25pm maggiemaggie: Dion really is amazing isn't he?
	9:27pm Matt Fiveash: "I got my water pistol, gonna shoot the sun"!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: We thank you!
	9:27pm JakeGould: Aahhh… Thanks for the Neil Diamond, Amanda.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: I'm convinced that Dion can sing any kind of music and be the best at it.
	9:28pm Webhamster Henry: BTW, Nilsson was born in Brooklyn, just sayin'.
	9:31pm cheri: Gaylord? I hate to hound you, but may I say I really enjoy posting on your shows.....a lot!
	9:31pm JakeGould: Harry Nilsson grew up in Bed-Stuy… Or Bushwick depending on who your realtor is… www.atlasobscura.com...
	9:32pm wittsend: I request Russian Lullaby by Irving Berlin. Premiered at my grandparent's theatre, back in the golden age.
	9:33pm melinda: I dig Solitary Man.
	9:34pm geezerette: wittsend, which theatre? What family?
	9:36pm geezerette: Was that the 19th or 20th C. ?
	9:38pm geezerette: Love is the way to go.
	9:40pm Gaylord Fields: @Webhamster Henry: Don't get ahead of us.
	9:41pm Siobhan in Brooklyn: This is just lovely. Thanks to both of you!
	9:41pm cheri: Gaylord, Amanda thanks much for giving us all a new York state of mind tonight!
	9:41pm wittsend: The shuberts. Specifically, I'm thinking of the rich theatre, which evolved into radio city music hall
	9:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Siobhan: Thanks, and it's nice to hear from you!
	9:42pm wittsend: *roxy
	9:42pm JakeGould: There goes John Sebastian.
	9:43pm melinda: De La Soul, yay! Love the Magic Number.
	9:43pm common: yes!
	9:44pm JakeGould: I remember being in college, and a colleague on the school paper sees me, runs up to me and just says, “Jack! You have to listen to this…” (re: “Three Feet High and Rising”)
	9:44pm steve: love it
	9:44pm Fuzzy: Where's that confounded bridge? Brooklyn? Williamsburg?
	9:44pm Webhamster Henry: @Wittsend Irving Berlin was a Russian immigrant! God Bless America!
	9:45pm wittsend: one of his few songs in which he spoke about the heritage we both share...
	9:46pm melinda: As a freshman in college I took a colloquium class in the art dept. in which the professor would play music sometimes at the beginning as students came in, and Magic Number was the song on the first day. Very exciting. For some reason the prof pronounced it Der La Soul.
	9:46pm geezerette: wittsend, serious history! Thanks so much for answering! A lot to be proud of.
	9:47pm cheri: so Gaylord, are you staying for dave mandl's last show?
	9:49pm geezerette: Nilsson always makes me laugh or cry, his voice...
	9:51pm geezerette: @Gaylord @Amanda Fantastic show. :)
	9:51pm Gaylord Fields: @geezerette: We humbly thank you!
	9:52pm steve: great tribute! nite folks.
	9:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for this unique 9/11 show. There are certainly a lot of New York voices from which to choose. Also, nice to hear you, Amanda. I haven't raided the Simpsons Time cabinet in quite a while.
	9:52pm listener james from westwood: Moving to the mobile for the last bit so thanking you both here!
	9:53pm Gaylord Fields: @steve: Thanks!
	9:53pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: This is an instance when I wish I did a longer show. This is a drop in the bucket.
	9:53pm cheri: thank you Gaylord and Amanda!
	9:54pm melinda: Great show!

	8:12pm northguineahills: I spent 45% of my life living in NYC.
	8:13pm JakeGould: I’m jumping the turnstiles in my mind!
	8:13pm cheri: hello Gaylord and all, it's really wonderful you're still on the schedule Gaylord, btw I too was born in Brooklyn.
	8:13pm Gaylord Fields: @parq: It got into you prenatally and brought you back where you belong.
	8:13pm geezerette: Dad was from Joisey, best I can do.
	8:15pm Gaylord Fields: @geezerette: Where no one calls it "Joisey"! :)
	8:16pm maggiemaggie: Gaylord, the most New York thing you ever did on your show was playing the theme from Daktari followed by Hambone.
	8:16pm melinda: Hi Gaylord and everyone!
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: You must also be a Sandy Becker fan.
	8:16pm cosmic matrix: what a groove! ....born there...live in vermont.
	8:16pm mary: omg. ESG!
	8:17pm geezerette: No,Gaylord, but they did when he lived there.
	8:17pm cosmic matrix: those fills!
	8:17pm Gaylord Fields: @melinda: Hi! Amanda will be programming the second hour. This one is all mine.
	8:18pm melinda: Cool!
	8:18pm melinda: I've spent a couple of weeks in New York!
	8:19pm cosmic matrix: hey, i got another mouse today! from a friend in lincoln. i named him....lincoln.
	8:19pm gal_x: as everyone is confessin'… I've no NYC blood connections, to my knowledge, and the bagels are not my first choice, BUT I have had the Great Fortune to meet some unique & superb NY souls!
	8:20pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: Confession: I prefer the bagels from where you live to NYC's.
	8:21pm steve: grew up in jersey, dad from peter cooper village and still talks about days at stuyvesant high school, from a young age i always felt like nyc was where i belonged.
	8:21pm melinda: @cosmic is mousie in ok health?
	8:22pm Philthy woman: HeyO!!! beep beep
	8:23pm melinda: I like your playlist comments Gaylord.
	8:23pm listener james from westwood: For the 15th 9/11 anniversary, the Stop & Shop one town over had a table near the front with "9/11 supplies." Red, white, and blue stuff galore, food and decorations, the latter likely recycled July 4th shit. I, difficult to offend, and largely refractory to 9/11 kitsch or sentiment, was offended.
	8:23pm cosmic matrix: @melinda, this one has open eyes, is bouncy and happy and engaged. right now he is sleeping in some cotton balls. he ate tuna salad and toast.
	8:23pm geezerette: ...some of them, anyway. Lots of friends, relatives,experiences and memories in New York.
	8:24pm cosmic matrix: i miss you NYC. i will visit you again someday, i promise. i will always love you!!!!
	8:24pm melinda: That's so cute!
	8:25pm northguineahills: Yeah, I was in Loisaida 9/11, I saw the second plane hit from my ex-gf's roof.
	8:25pm cosmic matrix: i'm living vicariously through him, which is why i'm feeling a little homesick....but how nice to be taken care of!
	8:26pm cosmic matrix: sorry not to disregard the topic of the show... :(
	8:26pm cosmic matrix: or at least the timely significance
	8:27pm wittsend: my uncle died from 9 11
	8:27pm common: thank you both for this
	8:27pm Gaylord Fields: @gal_x: Tee-hee!
	8:28pm melinda: I'm sorry wittsend.
	8:28pm northguineahills: shit, wittsend, soryy.
	8:28pm cosmic matrix: @wittsend, i'm sorry to hear that! :((((
	8:28pm geezerette: wittsend, very sorry.
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: @wittsend: I hope this helps, or at least doesn't hurt.
	8:29pm herb.nyc: Thx for honoring NYC. But isn't that oversimplifying 9/11? Pardon my (cynical?) attitude.
	8:29pm cheri: I think new York music is the greatest Gaylord and Amanda! thanks very much Gaylord and amanda
	8:30pm JakeGould: I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan on the morning of 9/11. Friends and some extended family in Lower Manhattan so I figured why not. Got to City Hall and was turned away by NYPD. Surreal. Burned documents were still floating to the ground.
	8:30pm Parq: Wittsend, a strange, said fraternity of people who lost loved ones that day. Few visual memories will stay with me like the walls of "missing" posters and fliers all over the city in the weeks that followed.
	8:30pm geezerette: I love New Yorkers.
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @herb.nyc: We're not here for debate.
	8:31pm Maggie B.: Hey Gaylord and Amanda, and all native New Yawkiz and New Yorkers at heart - Upper West Side, Stephen Wise Towers projects girl representing - although now I live upstate. (And work next door to the new WTC now. )
	8:31pm sugarwolf: @james: and I thought stop and shop's bacon and maple cookies were in poor taste @wittsend: :(
	8:32pm gal_x: Shook the world. I remember precisely where I was, and my feelings of disbelief and worry. Always had, & it remains, much appreciation & love for NYC. And its residents, past, present, & in spirit. (…fat bagels included!)
	8:32pm maggiemaggie: I'm a native New Yorker but I was in England for 9/11. I was so homesick, and listening to archives of your show over the internet really got me through that time! Though I still have not listened to your 9/11 show.
	8:32pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaah, there's some Staten Island lurve.
	8:32pm common: indeed, gal-x
	8:32pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: Know Wise well. Friends attended St. Gregory's across the street. I'm from 10 blocks north.
	8:32pm JakeGould: Also, cops and everyone the first 48 hours after it happened were genuinely nice. After that, it all became paranoia.
	8:33pm melinda: This is lovely.
	8:34pm Webhamster Henry: I'm not a native, but lived in the City part of New York 1979-2002. My kids were born in Manhattan and Brooklyn (at home) respectively, but identify as mid-Hudsonites.
	8:35pm sugarwolf: @maggiemaggie: I was in London too! It was the day after one of my flatmates had died after being hit by a car, so it was a weird, awful time.
	8:35pm cosmic matrix: Kind of difficult to see him, but there he is.
	8:36pm ἶkε: I met Ingrid once, before she got her breakthrough by getting a song onto Grey's Anatomy. I liked her a lot.
	8:36pm herb.nyc: (I'm sorry, Gaylord)
	8:36pm Maggie B.: I went to St. Gregory too, all 8 years. So sad that both school and church are closed. It was a great place in the 60s and 70s. My friends from other parishes did not have such fond memories of Catholic grade school.
	8:36pm Gaylord Fields: @sugarwolf: I was in London a week and a half later.
	8:37pm wittsend: thanks for the wishes. tomorrow the holiday will be spent with buckets of red sauce or Rendazzo’s in Sheepshead Bay for counter-style clams on the half shell. family tradition. way to take the edge off.
	8:37pm northguineahills: 9/11 is my legal partner's bday. and one of my best friends... and an old dj partner's/
	8:38pm northguineahills: You're right Jake, the first 48 hours....
	8:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: I went to Holy Name on 97th and Amsterdam. The church is till there, but the school shuttered two years ago.
	8:39pm maggiemaggie: @sugarwolf so sorry that must have been very hard.
	8:39pm Webhamster Henry: The aftermath of 9/11 was really weird: lower Manhattan closed off a la ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, the smoke mostly blew over Brooklyn for the first few days, so legal papers etc would rain on the streets of Park Slope. I took my son to the Natural History Museum on that Thursday, it was mostly empty, but open!
	8:39pm Fuzzy: George Harrison was from Liverpool, England.
	8:39pm cheri: Gaylord, I'm quitting the comments board, just for awhile see you in the future.
	8:40pm listener james from westwood: Lisa Lisa!
	8:40pm Maggie B.: Wow, what year did you graduate? So many of my friends went to Holy Name.
	8:40pm Mr C: And Full Force!
	8:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B.: Class of 1974. Went to H.S. at Bronx Science. Email me offlist. Would love to talk to a homey!
	8:41pm maggiemaggie: que sera que sera!
	8:42pm Parq: "Lost in Emotion" is one of those singles that just get better and better. Wasn't the video shot during San Genarro?
	8:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I'll give them the credit too.
	8:42pm melinda: Haven't heard this is a long time!
	8:43pm maggiemaggie: @gaylord I knew exactly how old you were when you played Daktari and Hambone :)
	8:43pm herb.nyc: I'm off to see Ken Stringfellow at Cape House (bushwick)now. His TOUCHED cd came out on 9/11, and he played Maxwell's and Mercury Lounge just days after. My friends said it was amazing and uplifting.
	8:43pm Mr C: Full Force from Crooklyn...
	8:43pm Gaylord Fields: @herb.nyc: Enjoy the show!
	8:44pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: I'm not exactly hiding it.
	8:44pm Maggie B.: @ Gaylord - OK! Will email soon! What a small world.
	8:46pm cosmic matrix: <-- @Melinda
	8:49pm JakeGould: Also, I am now logged in. Anyone else at the Luna Lounge comedy show on 9/10/2001? I was! It was weird for two reasons: Demetri Martin did his act and part of it was passing out… AIRPLANE SHAPED COOKIES! They were a part of his act. And more personal, I was talking to a friend of a friend and she mentioned something about working near the World Trade Center and how dull it is. And I aded, “You know, I have never liked the World Trade Center. I’ve never felt comfortable near that place. Can’t stand it.” I never really expressed that ever before… Except that day… And then history. Jesus, Mary, Moses and Vishnu.
	8:49pm katie: Barry Manilow began this program. I can't help but want to hear Carole King too. In my childhood, they both represented the world I wanted to escape to - NYC!!!
	8:50pm listener james from westwood: I'd 'a stayed in Castle Hill/Parkchester for a good long time if it weren't for my parents!
	8:50pm JakeGould: And also… I was born in Brookdale Hospital in Brownsville. Raised in Brighton Beach. @katie: What about Neil Diamond?
	8:51pm wittsend: suzanne vega --- another victim of tom's!
	8:51pm Mr C: not Eli's Coming? who's on TV right now. Representing..your city
	8:51pm Gaylord Fields: @katie: To my reckoning, Carole King is the quintessential New York songwriter.
	8:52pm katie: @of course she is. That's why I wanted to grow up to be her.
	8:53pm JakeGould: Also, please don’t play him, but Billy Joel was like the Bruce Springsteen of deep Brooklyn. But please don’t play him.
	8:53pm katie: But Laura Nyro was pretty awesome.
	8:55pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: BJ was born in the Bronx, so he does qualify.
	8:55pm Marc Francis: Howdy Gaylord!
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Marc Francis: Hiya!
	8:56pm Mr C: Impressive!The Great Gaylord! Nice one man.
	8:56pm melinda: @katie I grew up wanting to move to NY too! Plans changed along the way.
	8:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I was hoping you'd dig the Black Ivory cut.
	8:57pm cheri: btw Gaylord I really need your opinion do you think it's time I should quit for a few weeks or continue?
	8:58pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: He does qualify. Billy Joel does indeed qualify. Also, I remember the days after 9-11, walking out of my apartment on Atlantic Avenue, looking to the left and seeing that plume of smoke… And as others have mentioned, that smell… For days. Days of that smell. Also, the piles of “Missing” posters on walls everywhere seemingly in every neighborhood.
	8:58pm melinda: @cosmic omg he's so sweet. If you zoom in you can see little ears and whiskers.
	9:00pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: You're your own boss.
	9:02pm JakeGould: FWIW, I really like the comments next to tracks here.
	9:02pm cosmic matrix: @melinda: how could pests be so cute?
	9:02pm geezerette: Love this Lou Johnson. Sounds so Bacharach/David. Just their influence?
	9:03pm melinda: @cosmic it's context, I guess.
	9:03pm Jeezy: I can't believe Paul Simon doesn't qualify.
	9:03pm cosmic matrix: wow, somebody's playing the woodblock in the other room! that's amazing
	9:04pm Gaylord Fields: @geezerette: Actual Bacharach/David song and Bacharach production. Lou Johnson was considered the male Dionne Warwick, except with no hits compared to her many.
	9:05pm wittsend: my mother looked after sean lennon
	9:07pm Jeff g.: Hi there. The light streaming up into in the sky every year at this time, from lower Manhattan, never fails to move me. Not unlike this show.
	9:07pm geezerette: @Gaylord, that was a beautiful record! Everything we've heard is.
	9:07pm Gaylord Fields: @jeff g.: Thanks.
	9:08pm northguineahills: I don't mind some of the earlier Billy Joel toons, so as long as I don't hear too often. Actually, I like quite a few. Let's Woofmoo this schiiidt!
	9:08pm JakeGould: cough John Sebastian cough
	9:10pm melinda: Laura Nyro is so good.
	9:12pm Fuzzy: Digging the New York Groove on this show tonight!
	9:14pm Maggie B.: I thought Thunders was from Queens?
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Maggie B: I said he was. Perhaps you misheard.
	9:15pm cheri: Gaylord and Amanda, why don't you stick around later tonight, i'm giving dave mandl his last harrah party!
	9:17pm cheri: the more the merrier
	9:21pm Parq: Much as love the well-known version of "Roof", the down-tempo, thoughtful version that Carole cut is just so damn poignant.
	9:23pm JakeGould: FWIW, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Upside Down” sounds like a riff on “Up on the Roof”… At least Ben E. King’s version.
	9:25pm Mike tp: just arrived see Laura nyro on the list just picked up a disc of hers live from the bottom line for a quarter!!!
	9:25pm geezerette: Great set,Amanda.
	9:25pm Uncle Michael: Loving the show, Gaylord and Amanda. So nice to hear you again, Amanda!
	9:25pm maggiemaggie: Dion really is amazing isn't he?
	9:27pm Matt Fiveash: "I got my water pistol, gonna shoot the sun"!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: We thank you!
	9:27pm JakeGould: Aahhh… Thanks for the Neil Diamond, Amanda.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: I'm convinced that Dion can sing any kind of music and be the best at it.
	9:28pm Webhamster Henry: BTW, Nilsson was born in Brooklyn, just sayin'.
	9:31pm cheri: Gaylord? I hate to hound you, but may I say I really enjoy posting on your shows.....a lot!
	9:31pm JakeGould: Harry Nilsson grew up in Bed-Stuy… Or Bushwick depending on who your realtor is… www.atlasobscura.com...
	9:32pm wittsend: I request Russian Lullaby by Irving Berlin. Premiered at my grandparent's theatre, back in the golden age.
	9:33pm melinda: I dig Solitary Man.
	9:34pm geezerette: wittsend, which theatre? What family?
	9:36pm geezerette: Was that the 19th or 20th C. ?
	9:38pm geezerette: Love is the way to go.
	9:40pm Gaylord Fields: @Webhamster Henry: Don't get ahead of us.
	9:41pm Siobhan in Brooklyn: This is just lovely. Thanks to both of you!
	9:41pm cheri: Gaylord, Amanda thanks much for giving us all a new York state of mind tonight!
	9:41pm wittsend: The shuberts. Specifically, I'm thinking of the rich theatre, which evolved into radio city music hall
	9:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Siobhan: Thanks, and it's nice to hear from you!
	9:42pm wittsend: *roxy
	9:42pm JakeGould: There goes John Sebastian.
	9:43pm melinda: De La Soul, yay! Love the Magic Number.
	9:43pm common: yes!
	9:44pm JakeGould: I remember being in college, and a colleague on the school paper sees me, runs up to me and just says, “Jack! You have to listen to this…” (re: “Three Feet High and Rising”)
	9:44pm steve: love it
	9:44pm Fuzzy: Where's that confounded bridge? Brooklyn? Williamsburg?
	9:44pm Webhamster Henry: @Wittsend Irving Berlin was a Russian immigrant! God Bless America!
	9:45pm wittsend: one of his few songs in which he spoke about the heritage we both share...
	9:46pm melinda: As a freshman in college I took a colloquium class in the art dept. in which the professor would play music sometimes at the beginning as students came in, and Magic Number was the song on the first day. Very exciting. For some reason the prof pronounced it Der La Soul.
	9:46pm geezerette: wittsend, serious history! Thanks so much for answering! A lot to be proud of.
	9:47pm cheri: so Gaylord, are you staying for dave mandl's last show?
	9:49pm geezerette: Nilsson always makes me laugh or cry, his voice...
	9:51pm geezerette: @Gaylord @Amanda Fantastic show. :)
	9:51pm Gaylord Fields: @geezerette: We humbly thank you!
	9:52pm steve: great tribute! nite folks.
	9:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for this unique 9/11 show. There are certainly a lot of New York voices from which to choose. Also, nice to hear you, Amanda. I haven't raided the Simpsons Time cabinet in quite a while.
	9:52pm listener james from westwood: Moving to the mobile for the last bit so thanking you both here!
	9:53pm Gaylord Fields: @steve: Thanks!
	9:53pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: This is an instance when I wish I did a longer show. This is a drop in the bucket.
	9:53pm cheri: thank you Gaylord and Amanda!
	9:54pm melinda: Great show!
	9:54pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: You're welcome.
	9:54pm Gaylord Fields: @melinda: We appreciate your kind words.
	9:55pm Webhamster Henry: Yep, the Marxes were Manhattanites!
	9:55pm listener james from westwood: Julius Henry!
	9:55pm JakeGould: Now this is a top notch show.
	9:55pm maggiemaggie: This has been a wonderful show, thanks Gaylord and Amanda!
	9:56pm JakeGould: No disrespect to Groucho, but Harpo sings better. Always Chico for the vocals. Always!
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: That'sa some show, boss.
	9:56pm wittsend: marx brothers sexually harassed ladies, my grandmother includeded, on the chorus line, fyi
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: @maggiemaggie: Much obliged!
	9:57pm Gaylord Fields: @wittsend: You need to write a book.
