Listener comments!
	12:06pm Eyal: Hello Duane and fellow train riders! Tuning in from Kruger national Park South Africa
	12:06pm jess: ahhh, the Duane Train!
	12:07pm Duane: Hello Everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful Trainy day!!
	12:09pm northguineahills: Wait, isn't Badfoot Brown the 'Cos??!!!!
	12:10pm Duane: ngh: Sort of..he produced the albums, but didn't play on them.
	12:11pm Duane: Duane: the Badfoot Brown band was, Monk MOntgomery, Stu Gardner, Walter Bishop..bunch of others
	12:11pm Linda Lee: this is beautiful to hear. thank you Duane.
	12:14pm northguineahills: Oh. wait, he played on the first album but only produced this one (it's been a while).
	12:16pm Marley Dogg: Duane Train me strength!
	12:17pm MONEYBAG$: Man how did I forget about this track? used to play it a bunch
	12:18pm TDK60: Hello Duane. (Survived Ken's show partially mentally intact.) Don't know if it's bad form to talk about other shows. Must check my WFMU Etiquette Brochure.
	12:23pm TDK60: Wow, a remix of a classic. Still have the 'Songs in the Key of Life' LP. Sadly, I recall this day then, was in H.S. and outraged.
	♥ 12:24pm Rob (Jerzcity): this is great
	♥ 12:25pm chris: hey, Duane and folks!
	♥ 12:26pm chris: April 4, 1967 - "I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." mlk50.org...
	12:26pm Morphe: Duane.. when I heard you speak ..MLK today... I was thinking you would/should play this.. I was going towrite but I never ask for requests.. Thanks... Simon y Morphe Jamacian STREET Proverb: ME Want Peace and Love - with JUSTICE AND EQUAL RIGHTS
	12:30pm TDK60: I think MLK would be surprised at the lack of progressive transformation here, this country. Half a century, geez.
	♥ 12:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: @TDK - Yes, and certainly the backwards direction the country has taken over the last 15 months.
	12:37pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death..." - from chris's link
	12:38pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Thanks for playing this Nina Simone song Duane.
	♥ 12:39pm adampsyche: lovely set duane
	♥ 12:39pm Arne: Thanks indeed, Duane! This makes me cry.
	♥ 12:40pm Krys O.: Wonderful and heart-wrenching show, Duane. Thank you.
	12:41pm TDK60: Got to hear MLK speak on April 15, 1967. We marched from the Sheep Meadow down to the UN, against Vietnam War. The day looked the same as today, gray-cloudy. Heard MLK's speech, crowd too big to see. Also Stokely Carmichael, others, spoke. I was 15.
	♥ 12:42pm the Master: Thank you @Chris for the link to that MLK quote.
	12:43pm Cheri Pi: Wonderful tribute Duane!
	♥ 12:46pm Passaic River Blues: Very necessary right now. Thank you, Duane. RFK's speech on 4/4/1968 in Indianapolis always gets me, too. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:46pm northguineahills: One of those days I wish I could clicky star comments....
	12:47pm SeanG: Billy!
	12:48pm SeanG: yeah man
	12:50pm Mr C: This is really jammin' Nice pull Duane! Assume it's Earl Young etc..
	12:52pm Duane: Mr. C: THanks. Yes that's Earl Young on Drums, Norman Harris, Bobby Eli on Guitar, Ronnie Baker on Bass!Leon Huff on RHodes
	12:56pm TDK60: And he would be out there walking with the high school kidz on guns, the black life matters people in Sacramento, the teachers in Oklahoma; I'm sure.
	12:58pm emily: great show today (as usual). is usually only can listen to archives.
	♥ 1:00pm Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: Absolutely. Why was he in Memphis on 4/4/1968? Supporting and organizing with striking sanitation workers.
	1:07pm qwest: Thank you so much, Duane. Martin Luther King, Jr is definitely a hero of mine. As are the marchers on Selma and the kids at the Woolworth counter. I think about them a lot. They stood up for my rights and freedoms more than anyone else.
	♥ 1:07pm Little Danny: Hey Duane, hey all
	♥ 1:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: In the past, I'd try to catch 91.3 from Vassar College on MLK's birthday. They had a remix playing along with his I Have a Dream speech.
	♥ 1:10pm Michael 98145: thanks for the words and the music, DJ Duane
	1:12pm northguineahills: Amen!
	♥ 1:15pm LAZCAD: Great words of wisdom Duane!
	♥ 1:15pm Passaic River Blues: @Ken: WVKR! I think that's the Fingers Inc. remix. When I was in high school, there was a VKR DJ who used to mix up long outtakes of dialogue from "Roots" and intersperse great stuff, like La Funk Mob, Silver Apples, fuzzy hip hop instrumentals. It was beautiful.
	1:17pm CedarPlanck: does anyone know the sample in this Moody Man track that is the flourishing piano part at the beginning, its a well known soul/funk jam . . . please!
	1:17pm rbx: mooooody
	1:18pm Duane: Cedar:Earth WInd & Fire-Evil
	1:21pm northguineahills: what rbx said...
	1:22pm TDK60: Thanks for your thoughts Duane. This is why I love WFMU. Free form freedom. There's often much silliness on the comments board & shows but also time for serious reflection.
	1:22pm CedarPlanck: Duane: Thank you!
	1:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hey all! I heard MLK kept a pistol for "personal protection" for he feared for his life. I am pretty sure our government killed him, tragically.
	1:25pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Moodymann is pretty insanely rapid.
	1:28pm northguineahills: I love those Pharoahy/Alice Coltraney bells in that Moodyman.
	♥ 1:29pm LAZCAD: Black Mahogani is a start-to-finish album (at least for me)
	1:31pm TDK60: Pharoah playing Le Poisson Rouge Apr. 19, for those in NYC.
	♥ 1:33pm chris: this Laolu & Mr Raoul K cut is seriously badass
	1:37pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Regarding the MLK pistol: a quick internet search revealed that after his house was bombed he applied for concealed carry, but he was turned down by the police because he was black.
	♥ 1:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: @PRB - Cool! WFMU fill-in DJ Tiffany used to DJ at WVKR when she attended school there.
	1:42pm TDK60: A Rhodes piano? Ever tried to carry one? Wow
	1:45pm TDK60: Well, I guess all or most pianos are heavy anyway.
	1:48pm queems: oh boy! sopranos
	♥ 1:49pm Little Danny: Ahhh this Stark Reality
	♥ 1:54pm Little Danny: @Duane: I think I first heard this Hudson People on your post-Election 2016 show, which basically saved my life that week
	1:57pm Duane: Little Danny: It's great! Yeah, I haven't played it since then? I'm surprised!
	♥ 2:09pm Polyus: The new London jazz scene is getting a lot of attention all of a sudden, even a piece in Rolling Stone.
	2:12pm Beast of Boonton: Remember: On stage, you never want to follow a child or animal act
	♥ 2:13pm Michael 98145: well said
	2:16pm Beast of Boonton: (W.C Fields)
	2:23pm queems: hooray indeed
	♥ 2:28pm Krys O.: Ooh, this has me thinking about Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band from 2009.
	2:38pm Berndo411: play that funky ish!
	♥ 2:59pm Michael 98145: smooth ... smoothly .... blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	♥ 3:00pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Duane
	♥ 3:00pm chris: thanks, Duane!
