	9:42am joe: Coming up next Islands In The Stream
	9:43am djsheilab: steveo—Glad you caught the doc!
	9:44am steveo: Thanks for bringing it to my/our attention!
	9:44am yippie: he was getting you back for that thing where he almost had to play John Mayer
	9:44am joe: the Linda Ronstadt doc is playing at my local, I was planning on checkig it out, but now I'm really in the mood.
	9:46am chresti@griffith park: Morning from my morning coffee stop
	9:48am sphere: The album Trio, which features Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton, has a few incredible songs on it. Possibly the best version of "To Know Him Is To Love Him" ever.
	9:48am melinda: I liked Canciones De Mi Padre.
	9:50am Miles: I think they've abolished car radios since hoovercrafts have become the norm
	9:50am chresti@griffith park: Melinda, I like that too
	9:53am steveo: Same re canciones de me Padre. Also, we didn't have a very good batch of cynical New Yorkers at my screening. At the end everyone clapped. Hurrah.
	9:54am Joe McG: @steveo: That's so sweet!
	9:55am Brendan: I went and made some tea , couldn’t take any chances. Is it safe?
	9:55am pantz: I'm all for the Eddie Money appreciation society, even if it's posthumous.
	9:55am Joe McG: @Brendan: Not sure. :)
	👻 9:58am karlward: OK, I guess I dig these guitars on this Eddie Money track...
	10:00am Neil M: BCUC, Don't Know Much, Eddie Money. This is how the masters do it. I love this. Keep spinning.
	10:03am Brendan: @Joe Be gentle. I am still scarred/maimed from the 80's and the "Playing the soft hits, never too loud. Perfect for your corporate office" slogans.
	10:04am Joe McG: @Neil M: I love freeform radio. No one blinks, even when you pull out the '80s power ballads.
	👻 10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Apologies to Mark Hurst, but I am informed that B.B. King's 94th birthday would've been today. www.google.com...
	10:06am McGroovey: I blinked, but I didn't complain. Gr8 sho 2day btw.
	10:08am Joe McG: @ken: Thanks, Ken. Trivia question of the morning: What did "B.B." stand for in B.B. King's name? Don't look it up.
	10:09am Brendan: Was it Blues Boy
	10:10am Joe McG: Brendan, you win today's Golden Microphone.
	10:12am Brendan: Thank JM from me , BB!
	10:17am joe: Beeale St Bluesboy or Blues Boy depending on interview
	10:19am joe: This song sounds like it could have been recorderd a lot later than 1971.
	10:25am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning all
	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:28am listener X: anybody know what is playing under McGasko's voice at the moment?
	10:30am joe: You know that brings to question (for me anyway) why has there not been more animation art done on vinyl as a gimmick to sell
	10:30am melinda: Man, that Ronstadt-Neville duet is a bad earworm. I went offline while getting to work and it persisted.
	10:30am steveo: i believe it's 'i want to kiss you all over" slowed down
	10:33am listener X: indeed it is, cheers
	10:33am steveo: not sure i ever heard this at 45
	10:33am Brendan: Whoa ! Slow it down!
	10:33am Michael: I think that's the wrong speed, Joe.
	10:33am PKNY: I purposely bought the "Crazy Horses" 45 last year, just to play on 33.
	10:34am Listener Scott: Mörmön Metal
	10:34am listener Rey: Hello Joe and everyone. what Steveo said...
	10:34am sphere: Glad I got to hear Crazy Horses at 45 tho.
	10:35am steveo: me too!
	10:37am Joe McG: @Scott: ha ha!
	10:38am manhattan mike: It does sound great slower down. Ken did when squaring off against Matt during the marathon last year and despite being a diehard garbage man...I had to give that round to Ken
	10:38am Devin B.: Last year, at a record store in Wake Forest, NC, the owner put on the Crazy Horses 45. After a moment, I realized what it was and said, "I've never heard this at the right speed before."
	10:39am Joe McG: @mike: I think the slowed-down "Crazy Horses" is one of Ken's all-time faves. @Devin B.: Ha ha ha, we've brainwashed you.
	10:40am Devin B.: Too true
	10:42am steveo: "[Crazy Horses], the only hit record from the Osmonds to feature Jay Osmond as lead vocalist, reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100" So, I probably heard it as a baby :)
	10:44am Joe McG: At that point in their career, they were so big that they could've recorded a tribute to Satan (which I guess "Crazy Horses" sort of is - the evils of the world, anyway) and it would've been a hit.
	10:44am PKNY: I was gonna say, which came first: Parliament's "Red Hot Mama" or "Crazy Horses", but it looks like Parliament was first. A part of me hopes the Osmonds were secretly down with Parliament's Invictus records and decided to rip them off.
	10:47am The Oscar: Been busy working, but for anyone curious about the man on page 602: www.snopes.com...
	10:47am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe & all
	10:48am crateslinger: Ha! Charo - I tuned in just in time.
	10:49am Bill W: I miss my annual check-in with Charo since the Jerry Lewis Telethon expired.
	10:49am Colleen: Its so funny hearing this...Charo was just somebody on the Love Boat for me growing up....
	10:49am joe: Yes Issac I will have a Bay Breeze and keep them coming will ya. That young man over there looks like he could be in the Congress one day
	10:50am Joe McG: @Colleen: I wonder who appeared on more episodes, Charo or Sonny Bono?
	10:50am pantz: How many times did Johnny Carson oggle Charo from across his desk?
	10:50am crateslinger: Don't forget Barbi Benton, re:Love Boat. I never will.
	10:51am Rich in Washington: Yeah. Charo was one of those regular fixtures on television in our childhoods, especially during the golden age of the cheezy variety shows.
	10:51am Rich in Washington: I remember Paul Williams being on TV all the time. And George Burns, mainly because he was still alive.
	10:52am sphere: Paul Lynde and Charo, were they ever in the same place at the same time?
	10:53am joe: It seems Florence Henderson holds the record for most appearences.
	10:55am pantz: Speaking of Paul Lynde, his Halloween special is a must-see.
	10:55am joe: Scratch that false info. damn internet
	10:55am Joe McG: @joe: I have to ask: "How many?"
	10:56am joe: Flo Henderson was 9 Charo was 10 checking Sonny Bono now
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign: Hi Jo and everyone! Telephone Bill and the Smooth Operators is some smooth cajun/british isles yacht rock.
	10:59am joe: 5 for Sonny Bono. The ladies have it
	10:59am steveo: @sphere yes, on hollywood squares, of course.
	11:00am steveo: clickamericana.com...
	11:00am The Oscar: I'll admit to being young enough that my primary Charo exposure came through Pee-Wee's Christmas Special.
	11:03am Brendan: Single File aka Jumble Cookie aka Kitchen Sink . Ask for it by name.
	11:11am Rich in Washington: Irwin's show was on when the news broke. In fact, I learned of it on the chat board.
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Holy shit, I don't think I'd heard living life before.
	11:21am ConcernedMom: I first heard Daniel Johnston when I was a teenager. Had no idea about his background or anything. Was blown awayy. Was the Hi How Are You album
	11:22am The Oscar: "People say we're an unlikely couple / Doris Day and Mott the Hopple." Daniel doesn't get enough credit for how genuinely clever his lyrics could be.
	11:25am Brendan: Daniel reminds me of Neil Young . not because of the lo -fi, the vocal register or the pitch, but rather the songwriting and plaintive quality of voice.
	11:25am Mike East: The Story of an Artist kills me. Thanks for playing it.
	11:28am Joe McG: Sure, Mike. It's one of my favorites.
	11:28am Scott Williams: ^^ I'm with Mike East
	11:29am James: Wow, I've never heard Story of an Artist. This is so beautiful!
	11:30am Mike East: Its that line: "We don't really like what you do...we don't think anyone ever will..." I think most people who listen to this station can really relate to that.
	11:31am The Oscar: Aw, jeez-- this is gonna be the second time in the past seven days I tear up at my desk at work while a DJ plays Daniel Johnston, isn't it?
	11:31am Theo: My FAVORITE DJ song EVER!!!
	11:31am Rich in Washington: I had to watch The Devil and Daniel Johnston again this weekend.
	11:31am lee: A really sad loss but a beautiful tribute. Thanks Joe.
	11:31am Theo: Crying...
	11:32am thormagma: Thanks for playing all these tracks Joe.
	11:32am Rich in Washington: I meant to play a particular song from the album 1990 the other night and accidentally played Some Things Last A Long Time by mistake and on came the waterworks. Just lovely.
	11:33am Joe McG: It's such an amazing feeling to be playing the original Daniel Johnston cassettes from the WFMU library.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Arthur's Lee's Vindicator is not heard much.
	11:34am Rich in Washington: They sound great, Joe. And I saw a pic of them somewhere (you?) and they sort of look magical.
	11:35am Theo: I love how recognized/talented artists saw his talent and stepped and played/recorded with him...
	11:36am Mick: Thank you for this set. Really beautiful and wrenching, and knowing some of these are original cassettes knocks the wind out of me.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: Daniel Johnson reminds a little of Mark Linkous' Sparklehorse.
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign: I'm sure Daniel wanted his recordings to sound like the Beatles but I think cassette fidelity makes it really special.
	11:38am Roberto: Your theme song, Joe McG!
	11:39am pantz: You are gonna make it, Joe! Don't listen to the mean old teachers.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Mark Linkous produced one of his later albums.
	11:40am northguineahills: Rocket Ship!
	11:40am Joe McG: @pantz/Roberto: I really did have a teacher tear up my drawing in Study Hall and say "You should be STUDYING." I couldn't believe he did that.
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: "If Joe were to apply himself, he would see the results of his abilities and could develop into a rounded person, unfortunately music seems to be his overiding passion and is not curable".
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: He did steal the line from John Denver?
	11:42am rw: Joe, that teacher taught you an important lesson. Not the lesson he was trying to teach, but an important one!
	11:43am coelacanth∅: just keep punching, Joe.
	11:43am rw: And Thank you for the D. Johnston this morning.
	11:43am Joe McG: @rw: He really did. He taught me that people could be cruel.
	11:44am Yes: thank you joe
	11:44am Rich in Washington: @Joe McG: I still hear this echoing in my head, some 30 something years later: "Rich! This is a ____ class, and not an ART CLASS!"
	11:45am melinda: I don’t know much of his oeuvre, mostly what my sister put on mix tapes for me in the 80s. Nice to hear more.
	11:45am Rich in Washington: uh oh! I'm at work!
	11:47am melinda: @Joe sorry your teacher was an asshole. Seems there are so many ways to be a bad teacher.
	11:48am Joe McG: Thanks, melinda. Some things DO last a long time in our minds.
	11:48am coelacanth∅: my 6th grade teacher, Mrs.Melvin, caught me drawing. she smiled and said i need to study. she caught me many times and never actually stopped me from drawing. eventually she asked if she could have some of my drawings.
	11:48am rw: Joe, as far as I can tell it was a lesson well learned and you've done a great job using that knowledge for the betterment of the world.
	11:48am northguineahills: This has been perfect, thanks, Joe!
	11:49am joe: I think one of most offensive things a teacher ever did to me was actually throwing away a book that I was reading during class. I understand taking it away but throwing it away. Never trust a teacher who disrepects books and I never did.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: the book should've been taken back out and the contents of the trash can dumped over the teacher's head. ...that wouldn't get you into more trouble, would it?
	11:51am The Oscar: Whoa, never heard this one-- so cool!
	11:51am Mike East: The Daniel Johnston WFMU call that's linked on the website right now is definitely worth listening to
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: I had to smile when the headmaster caned me for ringing the fire alarms (it was after skool ended), and said 'this is going to hurt me more than you'.
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:54am EG_Astro: thank you joe, today's show was fantastic and thank you for the tribute to daniel. <3
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, all! See you again next time. Stay tuned for Sid Griffin on 3 Chord Monte!
	11:56am joe: @coelcantho revenge was dealt out in other ways in small doses over time I assure you.
	11:56am sphere: thanks joe.
	11:56am fred: thanks as always Joe!
	11:56am pantz: Great tribute, Joe! Thanks
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign: Oh wow, is Daniel singing along with some sacred hard singers?
	11:56am joe: Nice show Joe
	11:56am Rich in Washington: This has been fantastic, Joe! Nice to hear those real live cassette releases!
	👻 11:57am tim from champaign: Thanks Joe. This was a very special set.
	11:57am melinda: This is amazing, I love this hymn, only heard one other version prior to this.
	11:57am Listener Scott: Great tribute Joe, thanks
	11:58am Devin B.: Thanks Joe
	11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe. excellent selections.
	👻 11:59am Brian in UK: FREEFORM RULES. There are no freeform rules.
	11:59am Dominick: Beautiful, thank you Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Daniel’s life and the teacher stories remind us - be kind to everyone you meet.
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks man
	12:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This was a lovely tribute. Thanks Joe.
	12:00pm steveo: thanks joe!

	10:04am Joe McG: @Neil M: I love freeform radio. No one blinks, even when you pull out the '80s power ballads.
	👻 10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Apologies to Mark Hurst, but I am informed that B.B. King's 94th birthday would've been today. www.google.com...
	10:06am McGroovey: I blinked, but I didn't complain. Gr8 sho 2day btw.
	10:08am Joe McG: @ken: Thanks, Ken. Trivia question of the morning: What did "B.B." stand for in B.B. King's name? Don't look it up.
	10:09am Brendan: Was it Blues Boy
	10:10am Joe McG: Brendan, you win today's Golden Microphone.
	10:12am Brendan: Thank JM from me , BB!
	10:17am joe: Beeale St Bluesboy or Blues Boy depending on interview
	10:19am joe: This song sounds like it could have been recorderd a lot later than 1971.
	10:25am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning all
	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:28am listener X: anybody know what is playing under McGasko's voice at the moment?
	10:30am joe: You know that brings to question (for me anyway) why has there not been more animation art done on vinyl as a gimmick to sell
	10:30am melinda: Man, that Ronstadt-Neville duet is a bad earworm. I went offline while getting to work and it persisted.
	10:30am steveo: i believe it's 'i want to kiss you all over" slowed down
	10:33am listener X: indeed it is, cheers
	10:33am steveo: not sure i ever heard this at 45
	10:33am Brendan: Whoa ! Slow it down!
	10:33am Michael: I think that's the wrong speed, Joe.
	10:33am PKNY: I purposely bought the "Crazy Horses" 45 last year, just to play on 33.
	10:34am Listener Scott: Mörmön Metal
	10:34am listener Rey: Hello Joe and everyone. what Steveo said...
	10:34am sphere: Glad I got to hear Crazy Horses at 45 tho.
	10:35am steveo: me too!
	10:37am Joe McG: @Scott: ha ha!
	10:38am manhattan mike: It does sound great slower down. Ken did when squaring off against Matt during the marathon last year and despite being a diehard garbage man...I had to give that round to Ken
	10:38am Devin B.: Last year, at a record store in Wake Forest, NC, the owner put on the Crazy Horses 45. After a moment, I realized what it was and said, "I've never heard this at the right speed before."
	10:39am Joe McG: @mike: I think the slowed-down "Crazy Horses" is one of Ken's all-time faves. @Devin B.: Ha ha ha, we've brainwashed you.
	10:40am Devin B.: Too true
	10:42am steveo: "[Crazy Horses], the only hit record from the Osmonds to feature Jay Osmond as lead vocalist, reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100" So, I probably heard it as a baby :)
	10:44am Joe McG: At that point in their career, they were so big that they could've recorded a tribute to Satan (which I guess "Crazy Horses" sort of is - the evils of the world, anyway) and it would've been a hit.
	10:44am PKNY: I was gonna say, which came first: Parliament's "Red Hot Mama" or "Crazy Horses", but it looks like Parliament was first. A part of me hopes the Osmonds were secretly down with Parliament's Invictus records and decided to rip them off.
	10:47am The Oscar: Been busy working, but for anyone curious about the man on page 602: www.snopes.com...
	10:47am coelacanth∅: 'morning Joe & all
	10:48am crateslinger: Ha! Charo - I tuned in just in time.
	10:49am Bill W: I miss my annual check-in with Charo since the Jerry Lewis Telethon expired.
	10:49am Colleen: Its so funny hearing this...Charo was just somebody on the Love Boat for me growing up....
	10:49am joe: Yes Issac I will have a Bay Breeze and keep them coming will ya. That young man over there looks like he could be in the Congress one day
	10:50am Joe McG: @Colleen: I wonder who appeared on more episodes, Charo or Sonny Bono?
	10:50am pantz: How many times did Johnny Carson oggle Charo from across his desk?
	10:50am crateslinger: Don't forget Barbi Benton, re:Love Boat. I never will.
	10:51am Rich in Washington: Yeah. Charo was one of those regular fixtures on television in our childhoods, especially during the golden age of the cheezy variety shows.
	10:51am Rich in Washington: I remember Paul Williams being on TV all the time. And George Burns, mainly because he was still alive.
	10:52am sphere: Paul Lynde and Charo, were they ever in the same place at the same time?
	10:53am joe: It seems Florence Henderson holds the record for most appearences.
	10:55am pantz: Speaking of Paul Lynde, his Halloween special is a must-see.
	10:55am joe: Scratch that false info. damn internet
	10:55am Joe McG: @joe: I have to ask: "How many?"
	10:56am joe: Flo Henderson was 9 Charo was 10 checking Sonny Bono now
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign: Hi Jo and everyone! Telephone Bill and the Smooth Operators is some smooth cajun/british isles yacht rock.
	10:59am joe: 5 for Sonny Bono. The ladies have it
	10:59am steveo: @sphere yes, on hollywood squares, of course.
	11:00am steveo: clickamericana.com...
	11:00am The Oscar: I'll admit to being young enough that my primary Charo exposure came through Pee-Wee's Christmas Special.
	11:03am Brendan: Single File aka Jumble Cookie aka Kitchen Sink . Ask for it by name.
	11:11am Rich in Washington: Irwin's show was on when the news broke. In fact, I learned of it on the chat board.
	👻 11:21am tim from champaign: Holy shit, I don't think I'd heard living life before.
	11:21am ConcernedMom: I first heard Daniel Johnston when I was a teenager. Had no idea about his background or anything. Was blown awayy. Was the Hi How Are You album
	11:22am The Oscar: "People say we're an unlikely couple / Doris Day and Mott the Hopple." Daniel doesn't get enough credit for how genuinely clever his lyrics could be.
	11:25am Brendan: Daniel reminds me of Neil Young . not because of the lo -fi, the vocal register or the pitch, but rather the songwriting and plaintive quality of voice.
	11:25am Mike East: The Story of an Artist kills me. Thanks for playing it.
	11:28am Joe McG: Sure, Mike. It's one of my favorites.
	11:28am Scott Williams: ^^ I'm with Mike East
	11:29am James: Wow, I've never heard Story of an Artist. This is so beautiful!
	11:30am Mike East: Its that line: "We don't really like what you do...we don't think anyone ever will..." I think most people who listen to this station can really relate to that.
	11:31am The Oscar: Aw, jeez-- this is gonna be the second time in the past seven days I tear up at my desk at work while a DJ plays Daniel Johnston, isn't it?
	11:31am Theo: My FAVORITE DJ song EVER!!!
	11:31am Rich in Washington: I had to watch The Devil and Daniel Johnston again this weekend.
	11:31am lee: A really sad loss but a beautiful tribute. Thanks Joe.
	11:31am Theo: Crying...
	11:32am thormagma: Thanks for playing all these tracks Joe.
	11:32am Rich in Washington: I meant to play a particular song from the album 1990 the other night and accidentally played Some Things Last A Long Time by mistake and on came the waterworks. Just lovely.
	11:33am Joe McG: It's such an amazing feeling to be playing the original Daniel Johnston cassettes from the WFMU library.
	👻 11:34am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Arthur's Lee's Vindicator is not heard much.
	11:34am Rich in Washington: They sound great, Joe. And I saw a pic of them somewhere (you?) and they sort of look magical.
	11:35am Theo: I love how recognized/talented artists saw his talent and stepped and played/recorded with him...
	11:36am Mick: Thank you for this set. Really beautiful and wrenching, and knowing some of these are original cassettes knocks the wind out of me.
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: Daniel Johnson reminds a little of Mark Linkous' Sparklehorse.
	👻 11:36am tim from champaign: I'm sure Daniel wanted his recordings to sound like the Beatles but I think cassette fidelity makes it really special.
	11:38am Roberto: Your theme song, Joe McG!
	11:39am pantz: You are gonna make it, Joe! Don't listen to the mean old teachers.
	11:39am Joe McG: @Brian: Mark Linkous produced one of his later albums.
	11:40am northguineahills: Rocket Ship!
	11:40am Joe McG: @pantz/Roberto: I really did have a teacher tear up my drawing in Study Hall and say "You should be STUDYING." I couldn't believe he did that.
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: "If Joe were to apply himself, he would see the results of his abilities and could develop into a rounded person, unfortunately music seems to be his overiding passion and is not curable".
	👻 11:42am Brian in UK: He did steal the line from John Denver?
	11:42am rw: Joe, that teacher taught you an important lesson. Not the lesson he was trying to teach, but an important one!
	11:43am coelacanth∅: just keep punching, Joe.
	11:43am rw: And Thank you for the D. Johnston this morning.
	11:43am Joe McG: @rw: He really did. He taught me that people could be cruel.
	11:44am Yes: thank you joe
	11:44am Rich in Washington: @Joe McG: I still hear this echoing in my head, some 30 something years later: "Rich! This is a ____ class, and not an ART CLASS!"
	11:45am melinda: I don’t know much of his oeuvre, mostly what my sister put on mix tapes for me in the 80s. Nice to hear more.
	11:45am Rich in Washington: uh oh! I'm at work!
	11:47am melinda: @Joe sorry your teacher was an asshole. Seems there are so many ways to be a bad teacher.
	11:48am Joe McG: Thanks, melinda. Some things DO last a long time in our minds.
	11:48am coelacanth∅: my 6th grade teacher, Mrs.Melvin, caught me drawing. she smiled and said i need to study. she caught me many times and never actually stopped me from drawing. eventually she asked if she could have some of my drawings.
	11:48am rw: Joe, as far as I can tell it was a lesson well learned and you've done a great job using that knowledge for the betterment of the world.
	11:48am northguineahills: This has been perfect, thanks, Joe!
	11:49am joe: I think one of most offensive things a teacher ever did to me was actually throwing away a book that I was reading during class. I understand taking it away but throwing it away. Never trust a teacher who disrepects books and I never did.
	11:50am coelacanth∅: the book should've been taken back out and the contents of the trash can dumped over the teacher's head. ...that wouldn't get you into more trouble, would it?
	11:51am The Oscar: Whoa, never heard this one-- so cool!
	11:51am Mike East: The Daniel Johnston WFMU call that's linked on the website right now is definitely worth listening to
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: I had to smile when the headmaster caned me for ringing the fire alarms (it was after skool ended), and said 'this is going to hurt me more than you'.
	👻 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	11:54am EG_Astro: thank you joe, today's show was fantastic and thank you for the tribute to daniel. <3
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, all! See you again next time. Stay tuned for Sid Griffin on 3 Chord Monte!
	11:56am joe: @coelcantho revenge was dealt out in other ways in small doses over time I assure you.
	11:56am sphere: thanks joe.
	11:56am fred: thanks as always Joe!
	11:56am pantz: Great tribute, Joe! Thanks
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign: Oh wow, is Daniel singing along with some sacred hard singers?
	11:56am joe: Nice show Joe
	11:56am Rich in Washington: This has been fantastic, Joe! Nice to hear those real live cassette releases!
	👻 11:57am tim from champaign: Thanks Joe. This was a very special set.
	11:57am melinda: This is amazing, I love this hymn, only heard one other version prior to this.
	11:57am Listener Scott: Great tribute Joe, thanks

	11:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Joe. excellent selections.
	👻 11:59am Brian in UK: FREEFORM RULES. There are no freeform rules.
	11:59am Dominick: Beautiful, thank you Joe!
	11:59am Brendan: Daniel’s life and the teacher stories remind us - be kind to everyone you meet.
	11:59am Brendan: Thanks man
	12:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This was a lovely tribute. Thanks Joe.
	12:00pm steveo: thanks joe!
