	3:03pm Crudbringer: Hello everyone. I am ready to be orange for a few hours, despite the current administration. Why should we change, he's the one that sucks.
	3:04pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I couldn't place who the actor with the distinctive voice playing the boy. Turns out he also played Patrick Dennis in Auntie Mame.
	👻 3:04pm AnAnonymousParty: www.youtube.com...
	3:06pm JoeG.: I knew the guy was Claude Akins; who was the woman???
	3:06pm Handy Haversack: I think I flunked my human test.
	👻 3:07pm βrian: I still need to be tested for humans. What do I do if I'm human-positive?
	3:07pm Gordon FM: Is this "Psyche Rock" ?
	3:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi folks
	3:15pm Jim the Poet: I love Babylon 5! Hey Irwin!
	3:16pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Listen to Harlan people. He's right.
	3:17pm brainiac: Harlan Ellison was the original rage comic.
	3:17pm Itzall Hear: Harlan- Ragged but RIGHT.
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Socialism for the Rich - Rugged Individualism for the Poor - said Harlan. Oh wait - that was Martin King ...oh well whada they know about anything...
	3:18pm spodiodi: reminds me of doing free work for enterprising yoga hippies
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LOVE that.
	3:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it's why even the Leader of the Free World is so freaking DUMBED DOWN...
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...on with Thuh SHOW...
	3:20pm dave wuz here: "interns"
	3:21pm Laura L: From Publishers Weekly, Jan. 2019: "In what the Authors Guild is calling the “largest survey of U.S. professional writers ever conducted,” the organization reports the median income published American authors received for all writing-related activity in 2017 was $6,080 in 2017, down from $10,500 in the guild's 2009 survey. The survey further found that the median income for specifically book-related income for published authors declined 21%, to $3,100, in 2017 from $3,900 in 2013 and just over 50% from 2009’s median book earnings of $6,250."
	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + SET +
	👻 3:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: I leased my false hopes about four years ago. I thought I was getting a pretty good deal with the low long-term interest rates they offered.
	👻 3:33pm Listening Out There: @Ken FHP: These are called "learning experiences."
	3:35pm Itzall Hear: Re; Lucinda. Is she... OK?
	👻 3:35pm βrian: However, inside of every cowbody is a little lady just waiting to be loved. So there's that.
	3:39pm Gordon FM: You rule for playing Georgia Satellites. On a Wednesday no less!
	3:40pm Fletchernyc: Atlanta thanks you.
	3:41pm Irwin: Shouts to Atlanta. Relatives all over the place, including dead ones.
	3:41pm Itzall Hear: There was a time in ATL when you could not pay people to go to their ("Satellites", later "The Georgia Satellites") shows, basically the house band at a VERY small club. I thought they were damn good but what do I know.
	3:42pm Kat in Chicago: Same here re the relatives, Irwin - what remains of my immediate family are in the suburbs. I forgot how very excellent this track is.
	3:46pm Carmichael: I have a relative who is buried somewhere near Atlanta. Apparently they built a shopping mall around her, since the family would not move the body. She's fenced off in the parking lot, story goes.
	3:48pm Kat in Chicago: @Carmichael wow
	3:48pm Irwin: "A shopping mall" ... that narrows it down to 75% of Atlanta real estate.
	👻 3:49pm βrian: ... soon to be 10%.
	3:49pm Handy Haversack: Doesn't ring a bell, Carmichael -- I grew up there. Given the amount of time I spent hanging out in both cemeteries and malls, you'd think I'd have heard of such a confluence!
	3:50pm Carmichael: The story may even be true. I've never met any of 'em.
	3:50pm efd: @Carmichael is it one of the cases listed here? www.roadsideresort.com...
	3:50pm Irwin: Today's playlist pic by Laura Lindgren, btw.
	👻 3:50pm Mark Hurst: Hi Irwin, hi all
	3:52pm Irwin: M. Hurst, slayer of mighty tech dragons!
	3:52pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mark Hurst! We saved some orange for you!
	3:53pm Carmichael: Wow, Evan! I didn't know this page existed. Not one of those, but I bet I could find it now.
	3:53pm efd: Apparently it's a more common scenario, relatively speaking, than you'd think! Or at least than I'd think.
	3:53pm Irwin: Perhaps "slayer" is hyperbolic.
	👻 3:54pm Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks @Irwin ...or just "tilter at windmills"
	3:54pm Irwin: You consider your mission quixotic?
	👻 3:55pm βrian: I've noticed that windmills have gotten much bigger in the past few years.
	👻 3:56pm Mark Hurst: Yes, in multiple ways, both absurd and substantive
	3:57pm Carmen Burundi: georgia satellites woooooohoooo way to go irwin
	3:59pm Jim the Poet: Death to windmills!
	👻 3:59pm βrian: I heard someone on the radio refer to social media as "social." As in, "She heard it on social." Sadly, I could not slap the speaker.
	4:01pm Itzall Hear: Irwin, your statement smacks of '90s real estate values/markets in Atlanta- a drive around this town now, ANYWHERE makes it clear that we are now a "mixed use" mecca. 4 over 1 is the new queen of Atlanta, with apologies to Sir Reginald Dwight.
	👻 4:01pm Jennica: βrian: I was hoping to make it through a day without my skin crawling. Ew.
	4:04pm Irwin: Itzall: I used to drive around Atlanta in the '90s and '00s and it seemed every building had an expiration date.
	4:05pm Listener Robert: I remember when my students referred to their Social Security number as their "social". Is there a drink called a "social", or only a "cordial"?
	4:05pm Carmen Burundi: HOTLANTA!!
	4:06pm Itzall Hear: Haha. Yep, that hasn't changed. I honestly can't fathom how/who will pay the ridiculous rents all of these slapped up housing proj... er, I mean "mixed use" developments command, especially now.
	4:14pm brainiac: "Unconditional Love" songwriters - Billy Steinberg, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Kelly
	4:16pm Carmen Burundi: excellent timing on this one Irwin, unconditional
	4:18pm Irwin: This recording is divine.
	4:21pm Noah: Jeff!
	4:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow this is amazing.
	👻 4:21pm βrian: Trump, Pence forgo protective masks at SpaceX launch. Launch cancelled.
	4:23pm Irwin: I saw Jeff perform countless times at sparsely attended NYC cafes in the early '90s. His cover versions were astonishing: Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, Dylan, LedZep, etc. etc.
	4:23pm Little Danny: Hey Irwin, hey peeppell
	4:23pm Peter in tappan: God I love this
	4:23pm sufferwords: if ya dig the original Back in NYC- check the animated version on Youtube-
	4:23pm Little Danny: This Buckley is immediately blowing my mind
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: Damn, I've never heard this before, it's extraordinary.
	4:24pm brainiac: A tortured soul makes the best music
	4:25pm David in London: Evening all. Hey Handy, brainiac, Carmichael et al. And hello Irwin and Mark Hurst.
	4:25pm Fletchernyc: Jeff Buckley ❤️
	4:25pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't think anything off Land Lies Down on Broadway was cover-able.
	4:26pm Kat in Chicago: *Lamb not Land
	4:26pm Peter in tappan: 15 year old me would listen to this on repeat
	4:26pm Laura L: I never heard this Buckley before either! It is extraordinary, I agree!
	4:27pm brainiac: Hey David, that old bridge in Arizona wants to come home now.
	4:28pm Kat in Chicago: Welp, that's my musical revelation for the day.
	4:29pm brainiac: Music for the Old Codger in everyone.
	4:29pm BH: Reporting in to say that a dental checkup during a pandemic is slightly different than pre-pandemic checkups.
	4:29pm Carmen Burundi: loud n clear
	4:30pm Andrew_in_WI: I JUST tuned in. Was Irwin waxing poetic about Astral Weeks?
	4:31pm Carmen Burundi: no
	4:31pm brainiac: Bix & Tram
	4:32pm Andy M.: Just read about Dave the Spazz. Hope he's feeling better.
	4:33pm doctorrock: Irwinning
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David. I'm about to help shoot a music video. That's a sad comment on the quality of technician one can get during these sad times.
	4:38pm Itzall Hear: BH, why? If your dental care provider has not ALWAYS operated as if EVERY patient had the potential to infect or be infected with (fill in the blank, AIDS comes to mind) since forever, they may not be the best choice.
	4:38pm David in London: Brainiac. Damn, where are we going to put it?
	4:39pm brainiac: That's your problem, chum. Never should have let it go in the first place ;}
	4:41pm Marie: Loving the show, Irwin--thank-ee! As I listen to this I think about there is no consideration for the snake! (call me crazy)
	4:42pm David in London: Handy, good on ya. Reliable crew are always a boon, so you’ll rock the house!
	4:42pm Noburu Wataya: This was so oddly wholesome
	4:44pm BH: Itzall: well, they weren't wearing welders masks before this. But there are certain rules that have always been in place that likely hinder diseases.
	4:46pm Cp304: Gordon Ford?
	4:46pm Itzall Hear: Uh. "LIKELY"?!? I think you mean the Lexan shields, so yeah, that would be a new development. My dentist explained very clearly how they have practiced extremely strict processes since the peak of the AIDS pandemic, which of course is still happening. Did they have to do any digging?
	4:47pm brainiac: My dental hygienist saved up for a year to bring her mother to California for her first visit ever. Mom is in Brazil so the trip is a no go.
	4:50pm flashbazbo: Charles Ives Rules OK!
	4:52pm BH: No flossing of teeth either, which is a not-shocking change. To be honest, i'm not old enough to have a frame of reference about what dental offices were like before the 90s. The other two patients who I noticed in there were also sporting masks for the occasion. So it's sorta figure out stuff as we go here in the land of Ozark pool parties.
	4:54pm ddd: How do you find that John Moynihan recording?
	4:54pm BH: I had the fortunate timing of getting a haircut in the first week of March, because honestly, it's a bit chancy to get a haircut now because those places are also figuring things out (that's another story from my state this weekend)
	4:54pm spodiodi: i found it fine, thank you
	4:54pm spodiodi: i found Madder Rose beautiful
	4:55pm Little Danny: Wow, new Madder Rose. This is great.
	4:55pm JohnEBGood: Wow that was like Hearty White on speed. Love you Hearty ; )
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: New Madder Rose?! I missed it! Damn my unparalleled videographer skills!
	4:57pm ?: Is this the John Monyihan who was the son of Daniel Patrick? He died some years ago.....
	4:57pm Melissa: Sorry, that last comment was by me....
	4:59pm David in London: Hey spodiodi. Handy, I have Vittorio Storaro on the phone, he wants a few tips from you.
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: David, it turns out that if you use the little strappy deal on the camcorder, your thumb is positioned next to the start/stop button! That one was gratis. Also, possibly unrelatedly, I am drinking wine that I got because it has "radio" in the name.
	5:03pm Doug in JC: I'm also a label shopper when it comes to wine. Luckily my local shop only stocks good stuff, keeping me from having to learn things
	5:04pm Doug in JC: When Irwin's show is over I strongly recommend listening to the single released today by CARM featuring Ira & Georgia. It is stunning www.youtube.com...
	5:06pm Andrew_in_WI: New single by the Gershwins?!?
	5:08pm Little Danny: Great segue!
	5:09pm brainiac: @Andrew_in_WI: Yeah, I hear they cover an old Eagles number.
	5:10pm Little Danny: Also this Hurd is gorgeous and totally new to me
	5:20pm spodiodi: hello there, David in London. good to see ya
	5:20pm brainiac: When the Bobby Weir song started, I figured I must have lost the stream and a random song started on my iTunes.
	5:22pm Irwin: This Weir song sounds like rock but it's jazz. JAZZ, I say.
	5:22pm Andrew_in_WI: Whoa... I was gonna request some Dead cuz it's my birthday...
	5:24pm Fredericks: Must admit I got a little lift when I heard the opening chords to Playing In The Band. Surprised me.
	5:24pm brainiac: If he dies this week, it'll be on your head, Irwin!
	5:25pm Irwin: That was 2016, brain. I ain't killed no one with a playlist yet this year.
	5:25pm Giacomo Giordano: buon compleanno!
	5:28pm sydnius: From your mouth to god’s ear Bob’s a treasure
	5:32pm Andrew_in_WI: I wouldn't say Ace is a solo album... look at the players. It's a Dead album.
	5:33pm Jack: I didn't get the Dead either, had their first 4 albums and didn't care for them at all, they were "plinky" folk rock. Then I did Acid and suddenly, instantly Live Dead became the most beautiful music in the Universe.
	5:36pm Irwin: One odd music history link on the Ace album: string arrangement on "Looks Like Rain" by Ed Bogas. Ed was a member of Joseph Byrd's United States of America, who made one legendary and influential electronic-rock album in 1967 (ref. in '68). I presume it's the same guy. The Wiki page calls him Ed Bogus, but that's gotta be a typo.
	5:36pm Dave from Brooklyn: Irwin,no one did what The Dead did. Quite a body of work,and more live stuff than you have seen from any other band. Thanks
	5:37pm Jack: And live they were a mixed bag. They'd have moments/minutes of absolute transcendental brilliant jamming, followed by hours of plodding slow boring out of tune ballads
	5:38pm Irwin: The parallels between the Dead and Sun Ra are multitudinous.
	5:40pm Jack: Irwin, thanks again for playing Harlan Ellison. Boy I miss him...
	5:41pm joe mulligan: rest peacefully Joe Frank
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: Sad to have missed the Piggies. But I think my filming is about done!
	5:41pm Dave from Brooklyn: Multitudinous and meticulous and musical.
	5:41pm CedarPlanck: Oh man, the Joe Frank pours right back out
	5:42pm CedarPlanck: I wonder Irwin if it were possible to do some sort of set list dedicated to the music Joe Frank produced/arranged/mixed/used etc . . so much good music that seems lost in digital detritus and sound files
	5:43pm Irwin: Cedar: It would require some research, but it could be done and would make an interesting mix.
	👻 5:44pm Jennica: Thank you, Doug.
	5:44pm joe mulligan: I would love to hear that mix!
	👻 5:45pm Jennica: HB, Andrew.
	5:45pm Irwin: Will Alvvays ever release a third album????
	5:46pm Dave from Brooklyn: The Dead used a rock structure,then added a healthy dose of jazz,and,some of Stanley Augustus Owsley's lab delicacies
	5:46pm flashbazbo: Who is the Alvvays Singer?
	5:46pm Power Papi: memories of the Boaty Weekender...
	5:47pm Irwin: There's one gaping diff between the Dead and Ra: DRUGS. Ra was "dead" set against them.
	👻 5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope the answer is not ne\/er.
	5:47pm Irwin: Molly Rankin (Alvvays singer)
	5:48pm Jack: Sun Ra didn't need drugs...
	5:49pm David in London: You can’t manage interstellar travel if you’re out of your nut on drugs.
	5:50pm flashbazbo: The Dead did a lot of R&B and C&W covers that they might should not have. The were like the house band of the universe.
	5:50pm Jack: I was gonna say: you don't need drugs if you're from Saturn.
	5:50pm WM: @Jack: Very True. Sun Ra specialized in non-toxic mind expanding experience which we can share by listening to his music.
	5:51pm Dave from Brooklyn: The statement that Sun Ra didn't need drugs is fine. But,imho,everyone should try Mushrooms once. They're all natural
	5:53pm brainiac: I spend my days wasted on dihydrogen oxide.
	5:53pm Itzall Hear: But, Dave from Brooklyn, isn't EVERYTHING "natural"? Unless it's from another dimension where nature does not exist. Like Sun Ra's planet, for instance.
	5:54pm Dave from Brooklyn: Itzall,true dat.
	5:54pm joe mulligan: the other two songs that alvvays remind me of Joe Frank are "One More Night" by CAN and "Regiment" by Eno/Byrne
	5:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Irwin! (Jeff Conklin has def. made me reluctantly find a new appreciation for the Dead too)
	5:54pm David in London: This is your brainiac on drugs.
	5:55pm Laura L: It's 5:55 already! Irwin, you've outdone yourself again! Thank you!
	👻 5:55pm Listening Out There: Someone be messin with my mind.
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Irwin! Alvvays a pleasure!
	5:55pm Carmen Burundi: Thanks Irw! Me old pal
	5:55pm Jack: I only do natural drugs
	5:55pm Dave Miss: Good show Irwin
	5:55pm Carmen Burundi: What a show that was !
	5:56pm David in London: Great show Irwin. Ta muchly. See all you groovers later.
	5:56pm radioronan: Great show - Thanks Irwin. Thanks skeleton crew!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: Laters, David!
	5:57pm spodiodi: thanks Skeleton Crew!
	👻 5:57pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Irwin.
	5:58pm Dave from Brooklyn: Thanks Irwin
	5:58pm dave wuz here: thank you
	5:47am ?: Hey Irwin, John Moynihan has a portuguese facebook page with audio: shorturl.at/xIO37

	3:21pm Laura L: From Publishers Weekly, Jan. 2019: "In what the Authors Guild is calling the “largest survey of U.S. professional writers ever conducted,” the organization reports the median income published American authors received for all writing-related activity in 2017 was $6,080 in 2017, down from $10,500 in the guild's 2009 survey. The survey further found that the median income for specifically book-related income for published authors declined 21%, to $3,100, in 2017 from $3,900 in 2013 and just over 50% from 2009’s median book earnings of $6,250."
	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + SET +
	👻 3:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: I leased my false hopes about four years ago. I thought I was getting a pretty good deal with the low long-term interest rates they offered.
	👻 3:33pm Listening Out There: @Ken FHP: These are called "learning experiences."
	3:35pm Itzall Hear: Re; Lucinda. Is she... OK?
	👻 3:35pm βrian: However, inside of every cowbody is a little lady just waiting to be loved. So there's that.
	3:39pm Gordon FM: You rule for playing Georgia Satellites. On a Wednesday no less!
	3:40pm Fletchernyc: Atlanta thanks you.
	3:41pm Irwin: Shouts to Atlanta. Relatives all over the place, including dead ones.
	3:41pm Itzall Hear: There was a time in ATL when you could not pay people to go to their ("Satellites", later "The Georgia Satellites") shows, basically the house band at a VERY small club. I thought they were damn good but what do I know.
	3:42pm Kat in Chicago: Same here re the relatives, Irwin - what remains of my immediate family are in the suburbs. I forgot how very excellent this track is.
	3:46pm Carmichael: I have a relative who is buried somewhere near Atlanta. Apparently they built a shopping mall around her, since the family would not move the body. She's fenced off in the parking lot, story goes.
	3:48pm Kat in Chicago: @Carmichael wow
	3:48pm Irwin: "A shopping mall" ... that narrows it down to 75% of Atlanta real estate.
	👻 3:49pm βrian: ... soon to be 10%.
	3:49pm Handy Haversack: Doesn't ring a bell, Carmichael -- I grew up there. Given the amount of time I spent hanging out in both cemeteries and malls, you'd think I'd have heard of such a confluence!
	3:50pm Carmichael: The story may even be true. I've never met any of 'em.
	3:50pm efd: @Carmichael is it one of the cases listed here? www.roadsideresort.com...
	3:50pm Irwin: Today's playlist pic by Laura Lindgren, btw.
	👻 3:50pm Mark Hurst: Hi Irwin, hi all
	3:52pm Irwin: M. Hurst, slayer of mighty tech dragons!
	3:52pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mark Hurst! We saved some orange for you!
	3:53pm Carmichael: Wow, Evan! I didn't know this page existed. Not one of those, but I bet I could find it now.
	3:53pm efd: Apparently it's a more common scenario, relatively speaking, than you'd think! Or at least than I'd think.
	3:53pm Irwin: Perhaps "slayer" is hyperbolic.
	👻 3:54pm Mark Hurst: @Handy thanks @Irwin ...or just "tilter at windmills"
	3:54pm Irwin: You consider your mission quixotic?
	👻 3:55pm βrian: I've noticed that windmills have gotten much bigger in the past few years.
	👻 3:56pm Mark Hurst: Yes, in multiple ways, both absurd and substantive
	3:57pm Carmen Burundi: georgia satellites woooooohoooo way to go irwin
	3:59pm Jim the Poet: Death to windmills!
	👻 3:59pm βrian: I heard someone on the radio refer to social media as "social." As in, "She heard it on social." Sadly, I could not slap the speaker.
	4:01pm Itzall Hear: Irwin, your statement smacks of '90s real estate values/markets in Atlanta- a drive around this town now, ANYWHERE makes it clear that we are now a "mixed use" mecca. 4 over 1 is the new queen of Atlanta, with apologies to Sir Reginald Dwight.
	👻 4:01pm Jennica: βrian: I was hoping to make it through a day without my skin crawling. Ew.
	4:04pm Irwin: Itzall: I used to drive around Atlanta in the '90s and '00s and it seemed every building had an expiration date.
	4:05pm Listener Robert: I remember when my students referred to their Social Security number as their "social". Is there a drink called a "social", or only a "cordial"?
	4:05pm Carmen Burundi: HOTLANTA!!
	4:06pm Itzall Hear: Haha. Yep, that hasn't changed. I honestly can't fathom how/who will pay the ridiculous rents all of these slapped up housing proj... er, I mean "mixed use" developments command, especially now.
	4:14pm brainiac: "Unconditional Love" songwriters - Billy Steinberg, Cyndi Lauper, Tom Kelly
	4:16pm Carmen Burundi: excellent timing on this one Irwin, unconditional
	4:18pm Irwin: This recording is divine.
	4:21pm Noah: Jeff!
	4:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow this is amazing.
	👻 4:21pm βrian: Trump, Pence forgo protective masks at SpaceX launch. Launch cancelled.
	4:23pm Irwin: I saw Jeff perform countless times at sparsely attended NYC cafes in the early '90s. His cover versions were astonishing: Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, Dylan, LedZep, etc. etc.
	4:23pm Little Danny: Hey Irwin, hey peeppell
	4:23pm Peter in tappan: God I love this
	4:23pm sufferwords: if ya dig the original Back in NYC- check the animated version on Youtube-
	4:23pm Little Danny: This Buckley is immediately blowing my mind
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: Damn, I've never heard this before, it's extraordinary.
	4:24pm brainiac: A tortured soul makes the best music
	4:25pm David in London: Evening all. Hey Handy, brainiac, Carmichael et al. And hello Irwin and Mark Hurst.
	4:25pm Fletchernyc: Jeff Buckley ❤️
	4:25pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't think anything off Land Lies Down on Broadway was cover-able.
	4:26pm Kat in Chicago: *Lamb not Land
	4:26pm Peter in tappan: 15 year old me would listen to this on repeat
	4:26pm Laura L: I never heard this Buckley before either! It is extraordinary, I agree!
	4:27pm brainiac: Hey David, that old bridge in Arizona wants to come home now.
	4:28pm Kat in Chicago: Welp, that's my musical revelation for the day.
	4:29pm brainiac: Music for the Old Codger in everyone.
	4:29pm BH: Reporting in to say that a dental checkup during a pandemic is slightly different than pre-pandemic checkups.
	4:29pm Carmen Burundi: loud n clear
	4:30pm Andrew_in_WI: I JUST tuned in. Was Irwin waxing poetic about Astral Weeks?
	4:31pm Carmen Burundi: no
	4:31pm brainiac: Bix & Tram
	4:32pm Andy M.: Just read about Dave the Spazz. Hope he's feeling better.
	4:33pm doctorrock: Irwinning
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, David. I'm about to help shoot a music video. That's a sad comment on the quality of technician one can get during these sad times.
	4:38pm Itzall Hear: BH, why? If your dental care provider has not ALWAYS operated as if EVERY patient had the potential to infect or be infected with (fill in the blank, AIDS comes to mind) since forever, they may not be the best choice.
	4:38pm David in London: Brainiac. Damn, where are we going to put it?
	4:39pm brainiac: That's your problem, chum. Never should have let it go in the first place ;}
	4:41pm Marie: Loving the show, Irwin--thank-ee! As I listen to this I think about there is no consideration for the snake! (call me crazy)
	4:42pm David in London: Handy, good on ya. Reliable crew are always a boon, so you’ll rock the house!
	4:42pm Noburu Wataya: This was so oddly wholesome
	4:44pm BH: Itzall: well, they weren't wearing welders masks before this. But there are certain rules that have always been in place that likely hinder diseases.
	4:46pm Cp304: Gordon Ford?
	4:46pm Itzall Hear: Uh. "LIKELY"?!? I think you mean the Lexan shields, so yeah, that would be a new development. My dentist explained very clearly how they have practiced extremely strict processes since the peak of the AIDS pandemic, which of course is still happening. Did they have to do any digging?
	4:47pm brainiac: My dental hygienist saved up for a year to bring her mother to California for her first visit ever. Mom is in Brazil so the trip is a no go.
	4:50pm flashbazbo: Charles Ives Rules OK!
	4:52pm BH: No flossing of teeth either, which is a not-shocking change. To be honest, i'm not old enough to have a frame of reference about what dental offices were like before the 90s. The other two patients who I noticed in there were also sporting masks for the occasion. So it's sorta figure out stuff as we go here in the land of Ozark pool parties.
	4:54pm ddd: How do you find that John Moynihan recording?
	4:54pm BH: I had the fortunate timing of getting a haircut in the first week of March, because honestly, it's a bit chancy to get a haircut now because those places are also figuring things out (that's another story from my state this weekend)
	4:54pm spodiodi: i found it fine, thank you
	4:54pm spodiodi: i found Madder Rose beautiful
	4:55pm Little Danny: Wow, new Madder Rose. This is great.
	4:55pm JohnEBGood: Wow that was like Hearty White on speed. Love you Hearty ; )
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: New Madder Rose?! I missed it! Damn my unparalleled videographer skills!
	4:57pm ?: Is this the John Monyihan who was the son of Daniel Patrick? He died some years ago.....
	4:57pm Melissa: Sorry, that last comment was by me....
	4:59pm David in London: Hey spodiodi. Handy, I have Vittorio Storaro on the phone, he wants a few tips from you.
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: David, it turns out that if you use the little strappy deal on the camcorder, your thumb is positioned next to the start/stop button! That one was gratis. Also, possibly unrelatedly, I am drinking wine that I got because it has "radio" in the name.
	5:03pm Doug in JC: I'm also a label shopper when it comes to wine. Luckily my local shop only stocks good stuff, keeping me from having to learn things
	5:04pm Doug in JC: When Irwin's show is over I strongly recommend listening to the single released today by CARM featuring Ira & Georgia. It is stunning www.youtube.com...
	5:06pm Andrew_in_WI: New single by the Gershwins?!?
	5:08pm Little Danny: Great segue!
	5:09pm brainiac: @Andrew_in_WI: Yeah, I hear they cover an old Eagles number.
	5:10pm Little Danny: Also this Hurd is gorgeous and totally new to me
	5:20pm spodiodi: hello there, David in London. good to see ya
	5:20pm brainiac: When the Bobby Weir song started, I figured I must have lost the stream and a random song started on my iTunes.
	5:22pm Irwin: This Weir song sounds like rock but it's jazz. JAZZ, I say.
	5:22pm Andrew_in_WI: Whoa... I was gonna request some Dead cuz it's my birthday...
	5:24pm Fredericks: Must admit I got a little lift when I heard the opening chords to Playing In The Band. Surprised me.
	5:24pm brainiac: If he dies this week, it'll be on your head, Irwin!
	5:25pm Irwin: That was 2016, brain. I ain't killed no one with a playlist yet this year.
	5:25pm Giacomo Giordano: buon compleanno!
	5:28pm sydnius: From your mouth to god’s ear Bob’s a treasure
	5:32pm Andrew_in_WI: I wouldn't say Ace is a solo album... look at the players. It's a Dead album.
	5:33pm Jack: I didn't get the Dead either, had their first 4 albums and didn't care for them at all, they were "plinky" folk rock. Then I did Acid and suddenly, instantly Live Dead became the most beautiful music in the Universe.
	5:36pm Irwin: One odd music history link on the Ace album: string arrangement on "Looks Like Rain" by Ed Bogas. Ed was a member of Joseph Byrd's United States of America, who made one legendary and influential electronic-rock album in 1967 (ref. in '68). I presume it's the same guy. The Wiki page calls him Ed Bogus, but that's gotta be a typo.
	5:36pm Dave from Brooklyn: Irwin,no one did what The Dead did. Quite a body of work,and more live stuff than you have seen from any other band. Thanks
	5:37pm Jack: And live they were a mixed bag. They'd have moments/minutes of absolute transcendental brilliant jamming, followed by hours of plodding slow boring out of tune ballads
	5:38pm Irwin: The parallels between the Dead and Sun Ra are multitudinous.
	5:40pm Jack: Irwin, thanks again for playing Harlan Ellison. Boy I miss him...
	5:41pm joe mulligan: rest peacefully Joe Frank
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: Sad to have missed the Piggies. But I think my filming is about done!
	5:41pm Dave from Brooklyn: Multitudinous and meticulous and musical.
	5:41pm CedarPlanck: Oh man, the Joe Frank pours right back out
	5:42pm CedarPlanck: I wonder Irwin if it were possible to do some sort of set list dedicated to the music Joe Frank produced/arranged/mixed/used etc . . so much good music that seems lost in digital detritus and sound files
	5:43pm Irwin: Cedar: It would require some research, but it could be done and would make an interesting mix.
	👻 5:44pm Jennica: Thank you, Doug.
	5:44pm joe mulligan: I would love to hear that mix!
	👻 5:45pm Jennica: HB, Andrew.
	5:45pm Irwin: Will Alvvays ever release a third album????
	5:46pm Dave from Brooklyn: The Dead used a rock structure,then added a healthy dose of jazz,and,some of Stanley Augustus Owsley's lab delicacies
	5:46pm flashbazbo: Who is the Alvvays Singer?
	5:46pm Power Papi: memories of the Boaty Weekender...
	5:47pm Irwin: There's one gaping diff between the Dead and Ra: DRUGS. Ra was "dead" set against them.
	👻 5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope the answer is not ne\/er.
	5:47pm Irwin: Molly Rankin (Alvvays singer)
	5:48pm Jack: Sun Ra didn't need drugs...
	5:49pm David in London: You can’t manage interstellar travel if you’re out of your nut on drugs.
	5:50pm flashbazbo: The Dead did a lot of R&B and C&W covers that they might should not have. The were like the house band of the universe.
	5:50pm Jack: I was gonna say: you don't need drugs if you're from Saturn.
	5:50pm WM: @Jack: Very True. Sun Ra specialized in non-toxic mind expanding experience which we can share by listening to his music.
	5:51pm Dave from Brooklyn: The statement that Sun Ra didn't need drugs is fine. But,imho,everyone should try Mushrooms once. They're all natural
	5:53pm brainiac: I spend my days wasted on dihydrogen oxide.
	5:53pm Itzall Hear: But, Dave from Brooklyn, isn't EVERYTHING "natural"? Unless it's from another dimension where nature does not exist. Like Sun Ra's planet, for instance.
	5:54pm Dave from Brooklyn: Itzall,true dat.
	5:54pm joe mulligan: the other two songs that alvvays remind me of Joe Frank are "One More Night" by CAN and "Regiment" by Eno/Byrne
	5:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Irwin! (Jeff Conklin has def. made me reluctantly find a new appreciation for the Dead too)
	5:54pm David in London: This is your brainiac on drugs.
	5:55pm Laura L: It's 5:55 already! Irwin, you've outdone yourself again! Thank you!
	👻 5:55pm Listening Out There: Someone be messin with my mind.
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Irwin! Alvvays a pleasure!
	5:55pm Carmen Burundi: Thanks Irw! Me old pal
	5:55pm Jack: I only do natural drugs
	5:55pm Dave Miss: Good show Irwin
	5:55pm Carmen Burundi: What a show that was !
	5:56pm David in London: Great show Irwin. Ta muchly. See all you groovers later.
	5:56pm radioronan: Great show - Thanks Irwin. Thanks skeleton crew!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: Laters, David!
	5:57pm spodiodi: thanks Skeleton Crew!
	👻 5:57pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Irwin.
	5:58pm Dave from Brooklyn: Thanks Irwin
	5:58pm dave wuz here: thank you
	5:47am ?: Hey Irwin, John Moynihan has a portuguese facebook page with audio: shorturl.at/xIO37
