	6:02am Earth Walker: Heeeerrrrrrrs Jeff !
	6:02am Really Lisa: Hello Jeffrey and everyone.
	6:02am Nulsh: Mornin' folks!
	6:03am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Aaron Working in Newark, Earth Walker, Really Lisa, and Nulsh...
	6:07am BnowB: Good morning Arron, Nulsh, Jeffrey, everybody ;)
	6:08am Earth Walker: Good Morning Jeff. 12:05 pm. French time. 6:05 in your neck of the woods ? Seagulls Swallows and Crows oh my buzzing about in the sky here
	6:09am Jeffrey Davison: Picture on top of playlist is of my father's WW2 B-29 crew. 35 combat missions, 3 missions to check weather, one scrubbed mission (assume due to mechanical issues). My dad was a member of a worldwide anti-fascist organization, which brazenly operated out in the open, and the government of the USA actually encouraged their operations, even awarding all of these men the Distinguished Flying Cross. My father also received the Purple Heart. He's the one crouching, second from left. Would have been 100 next month. Happy Father's Day.
	6:09am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning BnowB. Earth Walker...oui.
	6:11am Nulsh: That's great Jeffrey. Brilliant picture!
	6:13am BnowB: It really is a great photo, goes well with this song, Lighthouse.
	6:17am Kevin-san: Good morning boys and girls of the teeny planet, tuning in and spacing out this morning
	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: He went on to a career in the NYPD. Top of his class 1949, as well as top marksman. A real gentleman, well-read, and loved by all. A mensch. He also joined the USAF Reserve. Became a First Lieutenant in WW2. In the Reserve was a major. He was also awarded, in the 1960s, the USAF Distinguished Service Medal, one of their highest honors. However, due to a major fire in the building holding the records, in St. Louis, in 1973, there is no way for us to trace why he won that medal.
	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Kevin-san....
	6:20am Earth Walker: Jeffery what a trip yesterday here in Nice walking way up to a park with a beautiful view of Nice and surrounding mountains we met a women 90 years old walking up ! She spoke of the war and it’s hardships I also had an older French friend 24 years ago who was in the war. Lots of stories I’m originally from Brooklyn
	6:22am Jeffrey Davison: Earth Walker: wow, 90 years old and still hiking...wonderful. I can't imagine the hardships suffered during the war. Even in this time of pandemic, it seems almost unimaginable.
	6:24am Roadside Picnic: Morning planeteers and happy Solstice. Jeffrey your Dad sounds like an amazing person . Respect to him and what their generation stood for and achieved !
	6:26am Jeffrey Davison: Roadside Picnic, welcome and thanks. Yeah, my dad was a pretty wonderful guy. Much respect to the Greatest Generation.
	6:28am TDK60: Good morning.
	6:29am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning TDK60...
	6:30am Really Lisa: Great to know your father’s story, Jeffrey. Sources of great pride for sure. My father was an Army Captain, stationed in Seoul, but not in wartime. He was also fresh from medical school, a pediatrician. So helped take care of children at an orphanage there. This is my first Father’s Day without him. Memories, and photos, are tremendously comforting.
	6:33am Jeffrey Davison: Really Lisa: thank you for sharing. Taking care of children at an orphanage is pretty noble work, indeed. Sorry for your loss, and yes, photos of my dad and an increasing understanding of his life are very meaningful to me.
	6:34am Jeffrey Davison: These Nathan Salsburg recordings were inspired by recordings by The Caretaker, whom I just played.
	6:35am BnowB: Loving the Nathan tracks will check them both out, beautiful stuff.
	6:36am dale: morning. liked that death dirge previous...
	6:37am Jeffrey Davison: dale, good morning...yeah, it was more of a dirge than I realized...
	6:38am Deborah: Good Morning!
	6:39am Deborah: Really Lisa: I am sorry. Love never leaves.
	6:39am Really Lisa: Thank you, Jeffrey, and Deborah.
	6:39am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Deborah...
	6:42am Deborah: My father died a few weeks before I graduated from high school. He wanted to be a high school history teacher but economics intervened and he could not finish college. He taught me to be inquisitive, to love the study of history, and was exited that I was going to study journalism in college.
	6:43am Andrew in Etobicoke: Good morning Jeffrey and all other Planeteers.
	6:45am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah, sorry for your loss. The lives that parents lead so often get changed by circumstance, and they end up doing something else, in order to support their family. Your dad left you with something precious, indeed.
	6:45am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, Andrew in Etobicoke...
	6:47am Really Lisa: Deborah, I am sorry for your loss. Jeffrey said it well, your dad left you with something precious.
	6:55am duke: Hello Jeffrey and Shrinkers
	6:55am Deborah: Really Lisa, Jeffrey Thanks!
	6:56am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, duke...
	6:59am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to Ruth for being board op once again.
	7:02am duke: We're in phase 3 in the Capital District, and still masked.
	7:04am dale: while we're on the subject of fathers, mine dropped out of school at 14 to work when his father died. he worked farm jobs and then was infantry in germany during the war. he did farmwork when he got back until someone got him into the uaw in the late 1950s. went through the shutdowns and union strikes of the 70s and finally was about to retire when he had his third heart attack on his very last day of work. was gone a couple of days later. on my birth certificate his occupation is listed as 'common laborer.' great gentleman in my mind.
	7:04am Brian in UK: Hello Jeffrey, Ruth and friends. Jeffrey, so pleased to hear you proud of your Dad. Really Lisa, so tough, agree with Deborah. Love is forever.
	7:04am Jeffrey Davison: duke, thanks for the info. I believe it. I was upstate for a couple of days last weekend into early this week, and every store required masks to enter, though I wasn't sure if masks were required elsewhere. As the area I was in was rural, masks would not be needed in many instances.
	7:05am TDK60: I'm still furloughed, at home, wearing a mask when I go out. / Thanks for your dad's photo and story Jeffrey and others. My dad is still alive, in his 90s.
	7:05am dale: duke - if you see cuomo kick him in the groin for me. will ya?
	7:07am Brian in UK: Jeffrey, going to attempt paining outside with your show. Rain permitting!
	7:08am Cooh John: Good morning fellow planeteers. The sun is rising for it longest appearance of the year. Thanks for the summer solstice soundtrack, Jeffrey.
	7:08am dale: brian in uk - plein aire or semi-gloss enamel?
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: dale: thanks for sharing the story of your father. Hard work was what the earlier generations knew. My dad also died of a heart attack. Tough loss, and it's amazing what so many of our parents gave us. Not everyone was so lucky.
	7:08am BnowB: This Martin Kirkegaard track is blissful.
	7:08am duke: Stores still requires masks. There is one convenience store in our village where the non-maskers congregate to buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. I think those activities show a low appreciation of risk.
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: Brian in UK, welcome and thanks. Cooh John, welcome...
	7:10am BnowB: Duke- I call them "the unmasked" .. I think you should wear one when walking by others or if you ive in NYC wear always outside. imho
	7:10am Jeffrey Davison: BnowB: thanks. duke: I don't get it, either. The USA recorded its highest level of cases, ever, the other day.
	7:10am Really Lisa: Dale, looks to be the epitome of strong work ethic. Sorry for your loss. Brian in U.K., thank you.
	7:11am Brian in UK: dale, it will be paining, sun keeps playing hide and seek. Sadolin wood preservative. Light Oak. Man, life in the fast lane is doing me.
	7:14am Sem: Good morning, Jeffrey, shrunken planet denizens, Cooh John, and all. Enjoying the stories on the board this morning, as well as the music.
	7:15am dale: thanks really lisa. he's been gone 30 years. hard to believe the earth spins that fast but here we are.
	7:17am Brian in UK: Sem, we have four new, at least to us, chickens arriving next Saturday. Got to Spring clean the coop as there are some Red Mites intruding. Hope all is well with you.
	7:18am Really Lisa: I think the reopen phase in NJ is level 2, some stores reopening but offering curbside pickup to continue. Restaurants open for outdoor dining only. I find it too risky, despite knowing the stagnant (mentally, physically *and fiscally) alternative. I don’t mean to be all doom and gloom, but Covid19 exposure is what caused my father’s death. Honest, I don’t dwell on this day and night, but when it’s a topic on the comments boards I think it would be remiss not to share that this shit is real. The talk of second wave is odd.. when it seems the first wave hasn’t ended.
	7:18am duke: My old man specialized in Dad jokes. I miss him every time I hear one.
	7:20am Really Lisa: P.S. I did used to be fun at parties.. from what I can remember lol
	7:21am Sem: Hello, Brian. Lucky chickens, to roost at Chez B & L for the rest of their unnaturally extended lives. All well here, peonies just now coming into bloom, strawberries aplenty, and snap peas incipient.
	7:23am dale: no apologies required really lisa. and i'm sure you're still the one in the kitchen at parties that everyone wants to hang with. (i'm usually in the bathroom sitting on the edge of tub waiting to throw up from eating the gas station shrimp and one too many drinks).
	7:24am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Sem...and your report...sounds good! dale: yep, time really flies. Brian in UK: sounds good! Really Lisa: give it time... duke: it's funny how we miss that regular old dumb stuff...
	7:25am Jeffrey Davison: Really Lisa: I share your concerns. And actually, Dr. Fauci said the same thing, that this is still the first wave.
	7:28am BnowB: I share your concerns too Lisa. I live in an apartment and wish at least in the hallways people would wear a mask.
	7:30am TDK60: Sorry about your loss, Really Lisa. I got my first COVID19 antibody blood test and a nasal swab test last week; negative results just arrived.
	7:33am Really Lisa: Omg dale! I *was in the kitchen at parties :) But if I saw you on the verge of hurling, I’d be there with a towel, and if you had long hair, I’d be holding it out of the way! Jeffrey, and BnowB, right?! It seems to have been normalized, the desensitization of the real risk. Thanks mainly to the grifter in chief. BnowB I’m in an apt community in NJ burbs, the mostly young families are out and about all over the parking lots and roads thru the complex, without masks :-/ Burns me up! TDK60 thank you. Glad to see negative results! I had the antibody test weeks ago, to be sure I could donate blood. Negative, so I was permitted to donate.. during a crucial shortage of course.
	7:34am BnowB: Thirteen one of my favorite songs ever... Elliott smith introduced me to it but I think it was ... uhh.. big star
	7:34am Aaron Working In Newark: Bnowb.... ho is everything going?
	7:35am Deborah: BnowB, Jefrey, Really Lisa, In the halls of this small studio apartment building no one wears a mask. Outside of the apartment, while walking around this slightly pretentious Township, some mask, some don't. I am concerned and so reluctant to take NJ Transit anywhere. Anybody public transporting yet?
	7:36am BnowB: @Lisa I understand the frustration with the "un-masked" in and around common areas of apartment complexes. @Aaron hi buddy .. im good how you been
	7:36am ignatatus666: Good evening Jeffrey Great playlist to wind down my day.
	7:39am Deborah: Music fits this pensive morning. Thanks.
	7:41am Jeffrey Davison: ignatatus666, welcome and thanks. Deborah, thanks. BnowB: yes, Big Star originally.
	7:42am Really Lisa: Deborah I see NJ transit buses dropping off and picking up, in my travels within Middlesex and Mercer counties; riders I’ve seen are wearing masks.
	7:43am Aaron Working In Newark: have you been popping some wheelies? Bunny hops? I am OK..been working a lot.
	7:44am Stanley: Hi Jeffrey and all gathered. Lovely mellow music this morning. I'm having a coffee break from cleaning duties and relecting on the thougts being shared with a mixture of feelings and wishing you all the best. Set myself the goal of finding at least two positive things each day, which are not WFMU related. Yesterday's were talking to my sister and her giving me assurance that our parents are doing the right thing during the re-opening of France. My tendancy is to be over cautious and worry that mother (86 years) is thinking she can get back to normal. Thanks, Sis. And although I couldn't sleep last night and started work at 5am, I felt okay and managed to finish and sling out three pieces of client work, I'd been procratinatiing about, so I'll at least get paid this month. Two positives for yesterday. What will be today's?
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: Stanley: thanks for sharing. That's a great idea. I tend to be a pessimist, so I think I'll try that out!
	7:49am BnowB: @Aaron in Newark- I been riding some BMX alone but it's still fun. Not riding long as I don't need to end up in ER. lol I work out more at home. Its ok I'm a home body. .Glad you are still working!
	7:49am TDK60: Once, eons ago, I hitchhiked from Tucson to San Francisco. A guy picked me up at night out in the desert west of Phoenix; later, we pulled over to sleep a bit. Woke up to a land like a flat brown-dirt table, the Mojave desert. Later, we came upon some large green mountains, the Tehachapi.
	7:51am Really Lisa: Stanley, wishing all the best for your parents. And thank you too, for sharing that great idea. Gonna try it too!
	7:51am BnowB: TDK- that sounds like an awesome adventure.
	7:53am Aaron Working In Newark: BnowB...once everything is back to normal..we will do drinks.
	7:53am Jeffrey Davison: TDK60, thanks for recounting the tale...
	7:54am Stanley: Thanks Lisa. Of course, for me, the best thing during these times has been our wounderful radio station and its people.
	7:54am Aaron Working In Newark: Jeffrey....your show always makes me cry.
	7:55am duke: Margo Cilker reminds me of Lucinda Williams
	7:56am Stanley: I wish I had songs in my bucket.
	7:56am Jeffrey Davison: Aaron, thanks. I found some really good stuff this week. duke: she's got a bit of Lucinda. My current favorite is Courtney Marie Andrews, an astonishing singer and songwriter.
	7:57am dale: stanley - then you could carry a tune.
	7:57am Stanley: dale - that made me laugh
	7:57am duke: @dale good one!
	7:58am Jeffrey Davison: dale and Stanley: the "bucket" title came from an old guy who approached Cilker after a gig and offered that she had a good bucket of songs.
	7:59am BnowB: Aaron that sounds good man .. can't wait for everything to truly be "normal" as far as virus goes.
	8:05am Bas NL: Hello Jeffrey, listening friends! Chiming in. Tips hat
	8:07am Jeffrey Davison: Welcome Bas NL...glad to have you here.
	8:09am dale: my father carried a lunch bucket OR a dinner pail, depending on which shift he was working.
	8:10am Terry LW: Love your show. We have a young friend who is making some terrific music. We hope you can consider playing a song of hers if you have not already. Thanks. www.emilyscottrobinson.com
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: dale: good one, thanks... Terry LW: thanks. Will check.
	8:16am prudy: Jeffrey, just woke up to read your photo caption...thank you for sharing this about your dad. Here's to those who fight the good fight...
	8:18am Jeffrey Davison: prudy, welcome, and thank you.
	8:18am Fredericks: Jeffrey, did you look into the Robert Johnson recording speed theory?
	8:21am Jeffrey Davison: Fredericks: a little bit. I also got an email from a listener who is a collector of 78s. He feels that most 78s were sped up, and sent me a sound clip of Mississippi John Hurt, slowed to 50%!! Sounded viable, but too slow to my ears.
	8:22am Terry LW: Just read the story of your Dad. My wife has posted how her dad was part of the same anit-fascist group as your father, as was mine who served in the Korean War. May all these good people rest and may we all find peace and sanity before we leave this world.
	8:26am Jeffrey Davison: Terry LW: thanks, and yeah, we could use a whole lot more sanity in this world. A few years ago, my brother located the radio operator on my dad's plane (Miss Behavin' II), who was still living in Aurora, Illinois. Was 89 at that time, sharp as a tack. Remembered everything. An amazing guy, who had made several trips back to Japan to be part of the reconciliation of former enemies, and was also a volunteer at a local airplane museum in Illinois. RIP, Paul Linden.
	8:32am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley, fancy a 'phone call sometime?
	8:37am Nulsh: "Miss Behavin' II" Love it!
	8:37am Fredericks: Jeffrey, my take is that slowing the Johnson recordings down puts the songs into more conventional guitar keys and I like his singing much better.
	8:38am Jeffrey Davison: Fredericks: makes sense...
	8:39am Terry LW: I hope the stories of people like Paul Linden live on as examples of how one can be a soldier and then a peacemaker. Thanks for sharing.
	8:42am Jeffrey Davison: Nulsh: Here's a fact I didn't know: the planes didn't sit idle when the crew came back. Another crew took the plane out. I guess I should have figured that out. Anyway, the Miss Behavin' I, brought back by my dad's crew (headed by Lt. Crowder), was lost on the subsequent flight. Mechanical failure of some sort, and the other crews on that mission watched the plane crash dive in the Pacific. All lost. Terry LW: Indeed.
	8:46am Nulsh: Jeffrey, that's crazy. I was actually gonna ask if you knew what happened to 'one'. Scary stuff. Amazing stories.
	8:46am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Jeffrey and friends!
	8:47am Jeffrey Davison: Buddha...welcome.
	8:47am Nulsh: BOOOOOODZZZZ! How are ya'?
	8:48am Aaron Working In Newark: Beautiful show this morning Jeffrey.. very moving. Thank you.
	8:48am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks, Aaron...
	8:49am BnowB: Yea I second that Arron ... great show and chat safe space. Its been awhile since logged in here. lovely
	8:49am Brian in UK: Thanks Jeffrey
	8:50am Stanley: Hi Brian - back from more chores. Sure, I'll give you a call this afternoon that would be great.
	8:50am Nulsh: Aye, as well as the great music I have enjoyed all the stories.
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: BnowB, thanks... Brian in UK, thanks...
	8:50am 12539: Thank you, Jeffrey and Ruth! Stay well.
	8:50am TDK60: Jeffrey, thanks for the music-by-folks. Wasn't it Louis Armstrong who said it's all folk music anyway, as horses don't play music? Hee.
	8:50am Nulsh: Bye TDK60!
	8:51am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Nulsh, 12539, TDK60... Thanks again, Ruth...
	8:51am Stanley: A most enjoyable show, Jeffrey. And great company too, thanks everyone.
	8:51am Really Lisa: Thanks, Jeffrey, Ruth, and all. Grateful for the music and the chat.
	8:51am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Nuuuullllsh! I am ok. Heading back to work in a few weeks.
	8:52am TDK60: See ya Nulsh.
	8:53am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks, Stanley and Really Lisa...
	8:53am Nulsh: Cheers for the show Jeffrey. Thanks for being there Ruth Booth! And thanks to everyone for hangin' out today. Bye for now!
	8:53am duke: Thanks Jeffrey and co-conspirators
	8:54am Ruth Booth: Have a great day everybody!
	8:54am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks duke....
	8:56am Fredericks: Jeffrey, I love to hear that Mississippi John Hurt recording.
	8:57am Bas NL: Thanks Jeffrey! Thanks Ruth!
	8:58am Jeffrey Davison: Fredericks: I will try to forward to you. Not sure if the file will transfer. Email me shrink@wfmu.org Bas NL, thanks.

	6:07am BnowB: Good morning Arron, Nulsh, Jeffrey, everybody ;)
	6:08am Earth Walker: Good Morning Jeff. 12:05 pm. French time. 6:05 in your neck of the woods ? Seagulls Swallows and Crows oh my buzzing about in the sky here
	6:09am Jeffrey Davison: Picture on top of playlist is of my father's WW2 B-29 crew. 35 combat missions, 3 missions to check weather, one scrubbed mission (assume due to mechanical issues). My dad was a member of a worldwide anti-fascist organization, which brazenly operated out in the open, and the government of the USA actually encouraged their operations, even awarding all of these men the Distinguished Flying Cross. My father also received the Purple Heart. He's the one crouching, second from left. Would have been 100 next month. Happy Father's Day.
	6:09am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning BnowB. Earth Walker...oui.
	6:11am Nulsh: That's great Jeffrey. Brilliant picture!
	6:13am BnowB: It really is a great photo, goes well with this song, Lighthouse.

	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: He went on to a career in the NYPD. Top of his class 1949, as well as top marksman. A real gentleman, well-read, and loved by all. A mensch. He also joined the USAF Reserve. Became a First Lieutenant in WW2. In the Reserve was a major. He was also awarded, in the 1960s, the USAF Distinguished Service Medal, one of their highest honors. However, due to a major fire in the building holding the records, in St. Louis, in 1973, there is no way for us to trace why he won that medal.
	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Kevin-san....
	6:20am Earth Walker: Jeffery what a trip yesterday here in Nice walking way up to a park with a beautiful view of Nice and surrounding mountains we met a women 90 years old walking up ! She spoke of the war and it’s hardships I also had an older French friend 24 years ago who was in the war. Lots of stories I’m originally from Brooklyn
	6:22am Jeffrey Davison: Earth Walker: wow, 90 years old and still hiking...wonderful. I can't imagine the hardships suffered during the war. Even in this time of pandemic, it seems almost unimaginable.
	6:24am Roadside Picnic: Morning planeteers and happy Solstice. Jeffrey your Dad sounds like an amazing person . Respect to him and what their generation stood for and achieved !
	6:26am Jeffrey Davison: Roadside Picnic, welcome and thanks. Yeah, my dad was a pretty wonderful guy. Much respect to the Greatest Generation.
	6:28am TDK60: Good morning.
	6:29am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning TDK60...
	6:30am Really Lisa: Great to know your father’s story, Jeffrey. Sources of great pride for sure. My father was an Army Captain, stationed in Seoul, but not in wartime. He was also fresh from medical school, a pediatrician. So helped take care of children at an orphanage there. This is my first Father’s Day without him. Memories, and photos, are tremendously comforting.
	6:33am Jeffrey Davison: Really Lisa: thank you for sharing. Taking care of children at an orphanage is pretty noble work, indeed. Sorry for your loss, and yes, photos of my dad and an increasing understanding of his life are very meaningful to me.
	6:34am Jeffrey Davison: These Nathan Salsburg recordings were inspired by recordings by The Caretaker, whom I just played.
	6:35am BnowB: Loving the Nathan tracks will check them both out, beautiful stuff.
	6:36am dale: morning. liked that death dirge previous...
	6:37am Jeffrey Davison: dale, good morning...yeah, it was more of a dirge than I realized...
	6:38am Deborah: Good Morning!
	6:39am Deborah: Really Lisa: I am sorry. Love never leaves.
	6:39am Really Lisa: Thank you, Jeffrey, and Deborah.
	6:39am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Deborah...
	6:42am Deborah: My father died a few weeks before I graduated from high school. He wanted to be a high school history teacher but economics intervened and he could not finish college. He taught me to be inquisitive, to love the study of history, and was exited that I was going to study journalism in college.
	6:43am Andrew in Etobicoke: Good morning Jeffrey and all other Planeteers.
	6:45am Jeffrey Davison: Deborah, sorry for your loss. The lives that parents lead so often get changed by circumstance, and they end up doing something else, in order to support their family. Your dad left you with something precious, indeed.
	6:45am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, Andrew in Etobicoke...
	6:47am Really Lisa: Deborah, I am sorry for your loss. Jeffrey said it well, your dad left you with something precious.
	6:55am duke: Hello Jeffrey and Shrinkers
	6:55am Deborah: Really Lisa, Jeffrey Thanks!
	6:56am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, duke...
	6:59am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks to Ruth for being board op once again.
	7:02am duke: We're in phase 3 in the Capital District, and still masked.
	7:04am dale: while we're on the subject of fathers, mine dropped out of school at 14 to work when his father died. he worked farm jobs and then was infantry in germany during the war. he did farmwork when he got back until someone got him into the uaw in the late 1950s. went through the shutdowns and union strikes of the 70s and finally was about to retire when he had his third heart attack on his very last day of work. was gone a couple of days later. on my birth certificate his occupation is listed as 'common laborer.' great gentleman in my mind.
	7:04am Brian in UK: Hello Jeffrey, Ruth and friends. Jeffrey, so pleased to hear you proud of your Dad. Really Lisa, so tough, agree with Deborah. Love is forever.
	7:04am Jeffrey Davison: duke, thanks for the info. I believe it. I was upstate for a couple of days last weekend into early this week, and every store required masks to enter, though I wasn't sure if masks were required elsewhere. As the area I was in was rural, masks would not be needed in many instances.
	7:05am TDK60: I'm still furloughed, at home, wearing a mask when I go out. / Thanks for your dad's photo and story Jeffrey and others. My dad is still alive, in his 90s.
	7:05am dale: duke - if you see cuomo kick him in the groin for me. will ya?
	7:07am Brian in UK: Jeffrey, going to attempt paining outside with your show. Rain permitting!
	7:08am Cooh John: Good morning fellow planeteers. The sun is rising for it longest appearance of the year. Thanks for the summer solstice soundtrack, Jeffrey.
	7:08am dale: brian in uk - plein aire or semi-gloss enamel?
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: dale: thanks for sharing the story of your father. Hard work was what the earlier generations knew. My dad also died of a heart attack. Tough loss, and it's amazing what so many of our parents gave us. Not everyone was so lucky.
	7:08am BnowB: This Martin Kirkegaard track is blissful.
	7:08am duke: Stores still requires masks. There is one convenience store in our village where the non-maskers congregate to buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. I think those activities show a low appreciation of risk.
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: Brian in UK, welcome and thanks. Cooh John, welcome...
	7:10am BnowB: Duke- I call them "the unmasked" .. I think you should wear one when walking by others or if you ive in NYC wear always outside. imho
	7:10am Jeffrey Davison: BnowB: thanks. duke: I don't get it, either. The USA recorded its highest level of cases, ever, the other day.
	7:10am Really Lisa: Dale, looks to be the epitome of strong work ethic. Sorry for your loss. Brian in U.K., thank you.
	7:11am Brian in UK: dale, it will be paining, sun keeps playing hide and seek. Sadolin wood preservative. Light Oak. Man, life in the fast lane is doing me.
	7:14am Sem: Good morning, Jeffrey, shrunken planet denizens, Cooh John, and all. Enjoying the stories on the board this morning, as well as the music.
	7:15am dale: thanks really lisa. he's been gone 30 years. hard to believe the earth spins that fast but here we are.
	7:17am Brian in UK: Sem, we have four new, at least to us, chickens arriving next Saturday. Got to Spring clean the coop as there are some Red Mites intruding. Hope all is well with you.
	7:18am Really Lisa: I think the reopen phase in NJ is level 2, some stores reopening but offering curbside pickup to continue. Restaurants open for outdoor dining only. I find it too risky, despite knowing the stagnant (mentally, physically *and fiscally) alternative. I don’t mean to be all doom and gloom, but Covid19 exposure is what caused my father’s death. Honest, I don’t dwell on this day and night, but when it’s a topic on the comments boards I think it would be remiss not to share that this shit is real. The talk of second wave is odd.. when it seems the first wave hasn’t ended.
	7:18am duke: My old man specialized in Dad jokes. I miss him every time I hear one.
	7:20am Really Lisa: P.S. I did used to be fun at parties.. from what I can remember lol
	7:21am Sem: Hello, Brian. Lucky chickens, to roost at Chez B & L for the rest of their unnaturally extended lives. All well here, peonies just now coming into bloom, strawberries aplenty, and snap peas incipient.
	7:23am dale: no apologies required really lisa. and i'm sure you're still the one in the kitchen at parties that everyone wants to hang with. (i'm usually in the bathroom sitting on the edge of tub waiting to throw up from eating the gas station shrimp and one too many drinks).
	7:24am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Sem...and your report...sounds good! dale: yep, time really flies. Brian in UK: sounds good! Really Lisa: give it time... duke: it's funny how we miss that regular old dumb stuff...
	7:25am Jeffrey Davison: Really Lisa: I share your concerns. And actually, Dr. Fauci said the same thing, that this is still the first wave.
	7:28am BnowB: I share your concerns too Lisa. I live in an apartment and wish at least in the hallways people would wear a mask.
	7:30am TDK60: Sorry about your loss, Really Lisa. I got my first COVID19 antibody blood test and a nasal swab test last week; negative results just arrived.
	7:33am Really Lisa: Omg dale! I *was in the kitchen at parties :) But if I saw you on the verge of hurling, I’d be there with a towel, and if you had long hair, I’d be holding it out of the way! Jeffrey, and BnowB, right?! It seems to have been normalized, the desensitization of the real risk. Thanks mainly to the grifter in chief. BnowB I’m in an apt community in NJ burbs, the mostly young families are out and about all over the parking lots and roads thru the complex, without masks :-/ Burns me up! TDK60 thank you. Glad to see negative results! I had the antibody test weeks ago, to be sure I could donate blood. Negative, so I was permitted to donate.. during a crucial shortage of course.
	7:34am BnowB: Thirteen one of my favorite songs ever... Elliott smith introduced me to it but I think it was ... uhh.. big star
	7:34am Aaron Working In Newark: Bnowb.... ho is everything going?
	7:35am Deborah: BnowB, Jefrey, Really Lisa, In the halls of this small studio apartment building no one wears a mask. Outside of the apartment, while walking around this slightly pretentious Township, some mask, some don't. I am concerned and so reluctant to take NJ Transit anywhere. Anybody public transporting yet?
	7:36am BnowB: @Lisa I understand the frustration with the "un-masked" in and around common areas of apartment complexes. @Aaron hi buddy .. im good how you been
	7:36am ignatatus666: Good evening Jeffrey Great playlist to wind down my day.
	7:39am Deborah: Music fits this pensive morning. Thanks.
	7:41am Jeffrey Davison: ignatatus666, welcome and thanks. Deborah, thanks. BnowB: yes, Big Star originally.
	7:42am Really Lisa: Deborah I see NJ transit buses dropping off and picking up, in my travels within Middlesex and Mercer counties; riders I’ve seen are wearing masks.
	7:43am Aaron Working In Newark: have you been popping some wheelies? Bunny hops? I am OK..been working a lot.
	7:44am Stanley: Hi Jeffrey and all gathered. Lovely mellow music this morning. I'm having a coffee break from cleaning duties and relecting on the thougts being shared with a mixture of feelings and wishing you all the best. Set myself the goal of finding at least two positive things each day, which are not WFMU related. Yesterday's were talking to my sister and her giving me assurance that our parents are doing the right thing during the re-opening of France. My tendancy is to be over cautious and worry that mother (86 years) is thinking she can get back to normal. Thanks, Sis. And although I couldn't sleep last night and started work at 5am, I felt okay and managed to finish and sling out three pieces of client work, I'd been procratinatiing about, so I'll at least get paid this month. Two positives for yesterday. What will be today's?
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: Stanley: thanks for sharing. That's a great idea. I tend to be a pessimist, so I think I'll try that out!
	7:49am BnowB: @Aaron in Newark- I been riding some BMX alone but it's still fun. Not riding long as I don't need to end up in ER. lol I work out more at home. Its ok I'm a home body. .Glad you are still working!
	7:49am TDK60: Once, eons ago, I hitchhiked from Tucson to San Francisco. A guy picked me up at night out in the desert west of Phoenix; later, we pulled over to sleep a bit. Woke up to a land like a flat brown-dirt table, the Mojave desert. Later, we came upon some large green mountains, the Tehachapi.
	7:51am Really Lisa: Stanley, wishing all the best for your parents. And thank you too, for sharing that great idea. Gonna try it too!
	7:51am BnowB: TDK- that sounds like an awesome adventure.
	7:53am Aaron Working In Newark: BnowB...once everything is back to normal..we will do drinks.
	7:53am Jeffrey Davison: TDK60, thanks for recounting the tale...
	7:54am Stanley: Thanks Lisa. Of course, for me, the best thing during these times has been our wounderful radio station and its people.
	7:54am Aaron Working In Newark: Jeffrey....your show always makes me cry.
	7:55am duke: Margo Cilker reminds me of Lucinda Williams
	7:56am Stanley: I wish I had songs in my bucket.
	7:56am Jeffrey Davison: Aaron, thanks. I found some really good stuff this week. duke: she's got a bit of Lucinda. My current favorite is Courtney Marie Andrews, an astonishing singer and songwriter.
	7:57am dale: stanley - then you could carry a tune.
	7:57am Stanley: dale - that made me laugh
	7:57am duke: @dale good one!
	7:58am Jeffrey Davison: dale and Stanley: the "bucket" title came from an old guy who approached Cilker after a gig and offered that she had a good bucket of songs.
	7:59am BnowB: Aaron that sounds good man .. can't wait for everything to truly be "normal" as far as virus goes.
	8:05am Bas NL: Hello Jeffrey, listening friends! Chiming in. Tips hat
	8:07am Jeffrey Davison: Welcome Bas NL...glad to have you here.
	8:09am dale: my father carried a lunch bucket OR a dinner pail, depending on which shift he was working.
	8:10am Terry LW: Love your show. We have a young friend who is making some terrific music. We hope you can consider playing a song of hers if you have not already. Thanks. www.emilyscottrobinson.com
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: dale: good one, thanks... Terry LW: thanks. Will check.
	8:16am prudy: Jeffrey, just woke up to read your photo caption...thank you for sharing this about your dad. Here's to those who fight the good fight...
	8:18am Jeffrey Davison: prudy, welcome, and thank you.
	8:18am Fredericks: Jeffrey, did you look into the Robert Johnson recording speed theory?
	8:21am Jeffrey Davison: Fredericks: a little bit. I also got an email from a listener who is a collector of 78s. He feels that most 78s were sped up, and sent me a sound clip of Mississippi John Hurt, slowed to 50%!! Sounded viable, but too slow to my ears.
	8:22am Terry LW: Just read the story of your Dad. My wife has posted how her dad was part of the same anit-fascist group as your father, as was mine who served in the Korean War. May all these good people rest and may we all find peace and sanity before we leave this world.
	8:26am Jeffrey Davison: Terry LW: thanks, and yeah, we could use a whole lot more sanity in this world. A few years ago, my brother located the radio operator on my dad's plane (Miss Behavin' II), who was still living in Aurora, Illinois. Was 89 at that time, sharp as a tack. Remembered everything. An amazing guy, who had made several trips back to Japan to be part of the reconciliation of former enemies, and was also a volunteer at a local airplane museum in Illinois. RIP, Paul Linden.
	8:32am Brian in UK: Hey Stanley, fancy a 'phone call sometime?
	8:37am Nulsh: "Miss Behavin' II" Love it!
	8:37am Fredericks: Jeffrey, my take is that slowing the Johnson recordings down puts the songs into more conventional guitar keys and I like his singing much better.
	8:38am Jeffrey Davison: Fredericks: makes sense...
	8:39am Terry LW: I hope the stories of people like Paul Linden live on as examples of how one can be a soldier and then a peacemaker. Thanks for sharing.
	8:42am Jeffrey Davison: Nulsh: Here's a fact I didn't know: the planes didn't sit idle when the crew came back. Another crew took the plane out. I guess I should have figured that out. Anyway, the Miss Behavin' I, brought back by my dad's crew (headed by Lt. Crowder), was lost on the subsequent flight. Mechanical failure of some sort, and the other crews on that mission watched the plane crash dive in the Pacific. All lost. Terry LW: Indeed.
	8:46am Nulsh: Jeffrey, that's crazy. I was actually gonna ask if you knew what happened to 'one'. Scary stuff. Amazing stories.
	8:46am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Jeffrey and friends!
	8:47am Jeffrey Davison: Buddha...welcome.
	8:47am Nulsh: BOOOOOODZZZZ! How are ya'?
	8:48am Aaron Working In Newark: Beautiful show this morning Jeffrey.. very moving. Thank you.

	8:50am Nulsh: Aye, as well as the great music I have enjoyed all the stories.
	8:50am Jeffrey Davison: BnowB, thanks... Brian in UK, thanks...
	8:50am 12539: Thank you, Jeffrey and Ruth! Stay well.
	8:50am TDK60: Jeffrey, thanks for the music-by-folks. Wasn't it Louis Armstrong who said it's all folk music anyway, as horses don't play music? Hee.
	8:50am Nulsh: Bye TDK60!
	8:51am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Nulsh, 12539, TDK60... Thanks again, Ruth...
	8:51am Stanley: A most enjoyable show, Jeffrey. And great company too, thanks everyone.
	8:51am Really Lisa: Thanks, Jeffrey, Ruth, and all. Grateful for the music and the chat.
	8:51am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Nuuuullllsh! I am ok. Heading back to work in a few weeks.
	8:52am TDK60: See ya Nulsh.
	8:53am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks, Stanley and Really Lisa...
	8:53am Nulsh: Cheers for the show Jeffrey. Thanks for being there Ruth Booth! And thanks to everyone for hangin' out today. Bye for now!
