Listener comments!

	9:11pm mb: i concur, andrewb. Looking forward to tonights show Irene!
	9:16pm Sean B.: the flat 5 thang
	9:17pm Sean B.: or wholetone business.
	9:18pm ultradamno: Drumbo next?
	9:18pm Irene Trudel: Thanks andrewb, mb and Sean B. This evening thing really suits me just fine.
	9:19pm Neanderthal Head: Good evening. I'm usually up with Clay Pidgeon. Nice to tune in to another quality show. Why is Richard Thompson so friggin' cool?
	9:20pm Sean B.: Well thanx for tones Irene!. yessahhh.
	9:20pm St Joe: Cappy Beefheart, w/ fz?
	9:28pm ztnap: Didn't Zappa and Beefheart collaborate on an album? Something about potato heads or other?
	9:28pm ultradamno: Bongo Fury
	9:29pm Irene Trudel: Yes, The Cap'n did collaborate with Zappa on the album Hot Rats. Maybe I'll dig it up for later.
	9:30pm Mailman Tom: I've always enjoyed "Clear Spot" by the good captain.
	9:30pm Peter K.: The show is off to an amazing start. I love the way it began -- as a seamless segue from "The Weekly World Blues" into the land of Beefheart. Very hip. I LOVE YOU, YOU BIG DUMMY!!
	9:31pm St Joe: that was Bongo fury iirc. Potato head Bobby was a friend of mine....
	9:31pm ztnap: @ultradamno has it right. I was thinking of Muffin Man. did they work on Hot Rats together too?
	9:32pm Irene Trudel: You're right St. Joe.
	9:32pm ultradamno: He sings on Willie The Pimp on Hot Rats
	9:33pm Peter K.: Beefheart sings on one track of "Hot Rats" ("Willie the Pimp"). He later briefly toured with Zappa, and "Bongo Fury" was recorded on that tour.
	9:34pm Sean B.: Shit, that's news to me. I didn't know The Capt. had anything to do with Hot Rats. My favorite Zappa....Uncle Meat is up there though.
	9:35pm St Joe: Advance Romance is a fine track from BFury. great show is always Irene
	9:37pm ultradamno: Once asked about Pere Ubu sounding like The Magic Band, Beefheart dismissively said "well, they try". He also called The Residents "awful" and "trash poets" (from some old issue of Creem)
	9:38pm ultradamno: (re: Wolf)...though that didn't stop him from covering "Evil"
	9:43pm ztnap: Artists like Capt Beefheart make me believe in alien life forms.
	9:46pm Drunken Creep: Enjoying this fleet of Van Vleet
	9:47pm dez: speakin my language tonight, irene!
	9:49pm Old Dave: LOVE IT!
	9:55pm St Joe: who the hell are these wonderful people?
	9:56pm Old Dave: They speak to my crippled world. Thanks Irene!
	9:58pm ultradamno: Van Vliet's best ballad.
	10:01pm Old Dave: Wonderful!
	10:03pm Santos L. Halper: Wow, nice get Irene! Have to catch this archive, sho nuff 'n yes I do!
	10:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Minor Music! Can that show return to the air, please?
	10:05pm Irene Trudel: Glad you're all enjoying this! Very entertaining-- wish it was a little longer. I just posted a picture with everybody's names under it.
	10:13pm Irene Trudel: Yeah, Ken! I really liked that show. Sometimes a trainwreck and sometimes brilliant music for really young artists!
	10:16pm Webhamster Henry: Ms. Julia Cumming of Sunflower Bean was on it.
	10:17pm Old Dave: Yes, less minutia. More music. Please! Good stuff.
	10:21pm Irene Trudel: Sorry, I should've broken up the interview with a little bit of music. Less talk for the rest of the night, I promise.
	10:21pm ultradamno: I enjoyed the talk.
	10:23pm lothianman: this cut is an all-time great..............one of Zappa's best albums, some of his best solos... Sugar Cane Harris, the Capt. as good as it gets !! Check out the gee tah at the end... thanks for playing !!
	10:29pm Old Dave: No worries. Has there ever been a Zappa-dedicated show on WFMU? I would appreciate more of this greatness! Owned the record at one point and am only learning to appreciate it tonight. Makes sense we named our daughter Irene...
	10:32pm Irene Trudel: Haven't listened to it in some time. Willie the Pimp was the theme song John Narucki played for his WFMU show. I grew to loathe it because I heard it so much. Time has been a little kinder to the son.
	10:33pm don: Maybe a Beefheart expert with a better memory than mine can clarify something. I attended the Beefheart Town Hall show in, I think, 1973 and I believe Bob Seger opened, who was preceded by a magician named Bradley Fields. The crowd treated him poorly, telling HIM, the magician, to disappear. At some point, I think Gary Lucas reviewed this show. What is strange is that a tape I've heard from this show has the Captain telling "Mr. Zoot Horn Rollo to hit that long lunar note, etc.," during "..Beans..", but I think Alex Snouffer had replaced Zoot for this tour. Am confused. Anyone out there who went to this show?
	10:40pm St Joe: Yes. I remember John Naruckis shows. Was a guest of a guest of his, in the basement at Uppsala. Loved that great papier machie(?) dinosaur!
	10:41pm ultradamno: According to The Magic Station, Harkleroad was on board through 74 www.beefheart.com...
	10:41pm Irene Trudel: There used to be a DJ in the late 90's who was really into Zappa, but there's been no show dedicated to him.
	10:42pm ultradamno: Errr, Radar Station
	10:45pm Irene Trudel: Some of these Beefheart questions would best be answered by Gary Lucas himself. He has a facebook page, where I suspect he'd see it first: www.facebook.com...
	10:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Irene - (back now from driving) It'd be cool to find out what some of the guests on Minor Music are doing today.
	10:59pm Irene Trudel: By the way, the previous Beefheart project Gary was involved with was Fast 'N' Bulbous, with Philip Johnston and other members of The Microscopic Septet. The archive is here: wfmu.org...
	11:01pm St Joe: theres a version of abba zabba with vocals too.
	11:30pm Tome: Irene ! in the evening == ahhh ! lovely stuff as always !
	11:39pm Andrew: Liking these last 2 cuts.
	11:57pm Scraps: Great three hours!
	12:00am Irene Trudel: Lots of good stuff tonight! Thanks for tuning in. Catch everybody next week.
	🥁 9:43am Sean in Bristol UK: Thanks for a great show, Irene and thank you to The World of Captain Beefheart for a fab live set

Live performance and chat with The World of Captain Beefheart (L to R: Jordan Shapiro: keyboards, bkg. vocals /Jesse Krakow: bass, bkg. vocals /Nona Hendryx: lead vocals /Richard Dworkin: drums /Gary Lucas: guitar)
Giving a few new spins to the music of Don Van Vliet aka Captain Beefheart is a natural move for Guitarist Gary Lucas, who was a part of that world for a time. And who better to breathe new life into the Captain's vocals than the Soul Diva Nona Hendryx, founding member of Labelle and a much in demand singer. On a new 12-song disc, Hendryx and Lucas energetically dive into tunes from throughout Beefheart's catalog, with helped along the way by Drummer Richard Dworkin (Microscopic Septet), Bassist (and former WFMU host) Jesse Krakow and Keyboardist Jordan Shapiro. Nona Hendrix and Gary Lucas, along with their bandmates, played live and discussed how this all came together.
