	9:10am YETI BOB: Sadly I'll be missing most of the show today - Mrs Yeti and I are going to try taking our kayak out on the Kankakee River. This is delighful music for packing up and getting ready.
	♥ 9:10am Brian in UK: What a great title.
	♥ 9:10am Webhamster Henry: OK, it's a "Fun Piano" set! Is Slim Gaillard coming up?

	9:15am TDK60: Hiya David of London-on-Thames.
	9:16am Rick A.: I have a cocktail napkin that Dave Brubeck signed to my parents. I keep it in a frame. Take Five overshadows his other extensive work.
	9:17am YETI BOB: I love the piano because you can make so much sound with it, nice thick chords, one of the best instruments for playing solo. But I hate the piano because it forces you into equal temperment, no alternate tunings, bending notes, etc.
	♥ 9:18am dale: can marvin hamlisch be far away?

	9:22am wfmu listener phillip: I normally hear this on bethany's show.
	9:22am TDK60: A long running public radio classical program, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, used this as their opening theme.
	9:22am Hope Chernov: so gorgeous. thanks for the ludwig, joe!
	♥ 9:23am Joe McG: I often begin the show with guitar music, so I thought it would be nice to open with some pianer today. Glad you're enjoying!

	♥ 9:24am dale: lionel ritchie could sing three times a lady over this and it would make sense.
	9:25am YETI BOB: @Webhamster Henry: Thanks for sharing, I'll listen later! I know some composers have written for retuned pianos (eg Lou Harrison). But it's a lot of work to retune a piano, beyond the reach of most players. (And of course with digital keyboards you can tune them however you like, but that's a different beast)
	9:25am Colleen: This is fantastic....
	♥ 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. I trust you'll someday put together a show with an accordion opening set for us.

	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Ken: You bet your booties. This fall, guaranteed.
	♥ 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Swingin' the classics!
	♥ 9:27am dale: a salute to jerry murad too!
	9:27am The Butterman: sounds like a show the Old Codger would enjoy.

	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Oh Nutrocker. Class.
	♥ 9:28am G: The ghost of Keith Emerson says "HEY I CAN DO THIS TOO"
	9:29am Peter from Dover NJ: Anyone re all whether Emerson Lake and Palmer credited these guys for this arrangement?
	♥ 9:29am Krys O.: Aw, Keith Emerson was a cool dude. He had a sad end.
	♥ 9:29am Brian in UK: Joanna, rhyming slang for pianner. Popular in the early Twentieth century when it was ubiquitous in many homes. Rarely heard these days because wireless receiving apparatus has killed all forms of self-entertainment.
	♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Haha ... can't wait, Joe. Can someone dial up the Old Codger? What's his number again? It falls somewhere between "5" and "7," as I recall.
	♥ 9:30am G: @Krys. Yup. Had already had surgery back in the 90s, and his hands were going :-(
	9:30am YETI BOB: @HH: Yeah, we're going to try some non-urban kayaking for a change. I've never been to this stretch of river but it's supposed to have some limestone cliffs and wildlife. About an hour out of the city. We're planning to park a bicycle downstream, then drive back upstream and launch ourselves. Will report back!
	♥ 9:31am Stanley: Joe! Guys! And a knees up Mother Brownlode to you, Brain.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: Fantastic, YB! Send pix if you get some goods ones.

	♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: Russ Conway is my pick. Oh & Winifred Atwell.
	9:34am TDK60: Got to catch B. Evans once, by chance. Was walking by a club. Doors open, no charge (dinner crowd).

	9:41am brandog: Amazing set
	9:42am wfmu listener phillip: @Joe McG since you playing that lovely piano music. how about Schubert Trio In E flat opus 100. thought I'd suggest it. its probably not in the library anywhere
	♥ 9:43am David (in London): I thought it said 'Accordion in Sci-Fi' for a second. Now that's an album I would really like to hear.

	♥ 9:47am James Douglas: Excellent Joe. Do you know when the Fall/Winter Schedule will drop?
	9:47am wfmu listener phillip: thats nice! mondays with the two JOE'S Joe McGasko and Joe Belock.
	♥ 9:49am David (in London): It's good to have professional guidance as to when to boogie and when to woogie.

	10:22am Toothgrinder Tom: Thanks, @David
	♥ 10:23am Ken From Hyde Park: You think anticipation for a schedule change is tough, how about waiting years for a chord change? www.bbc.com...

	10:31am mb: Can someone please post a link to the Fall sched? When SUW went off the air that messed me up something fierce. Actually don't think i've fully recovered. I'd like to be mentally prepared this time if we are losing Peaceful Solutions or Avant Ghetto. Congrats on the extension, JoE!

	10:54am Toothgrinder Tom: Was this song on one of Lene Lovich’s lps? Because I know it well but don’t remember buying any of her 45’s back in those days.
	10:54am Roberto: Lene!
	10:55am Mike W: @Phillippe They were Akronites, but I have no memory of where they’d gone to school (and never heard any stories of them at my h.s.). Kent State’s campus may have played a larger role in Devo’s formation, location-wise

	♥ 11:08am Phillippe Bastille: People only go to horse races to watch the crashes
	♥ 11:08am steveo: i mean the random person passing through, flipping through radio frequencies who happens upon the station and hears something amazing or strange or terrible that they've never heard before
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: Joe, is the October fundraiser, silent? Just nod your head!
	♥ 11:08am PaulRobeson1920: NFL admits no less than 1/3 of all current players will develop CTE degenerative brain illness
	♥ 11:08am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! We make a short mention of it on every show, but no tag teams or extended pitches. Subtle-like.

	9:10am YETI BOB: Sadly I'll be missing most of the show today - Mrs Yeti and I are going to try taking our kayak out on the Kankakee River. This is delighful music for packing up and getting ready.
	♥ 9:10am Brian in UK: What a great title.
	♥ 9:10am Webhamster Henry: OK, it's a "Fun Piano" set! Is Slim Gaillard coming up?

	9:15am TDK60: Hiya David of London-on-Thames.
	9:16am Rick A.: I have a cocktail napkin that Dave Brubeck signed to my parents. I keep it in a frame. Take Five overshadows his other extensive work.
	9:17am YETI BOB: I love the piano because you can make so much sound with it, nice thick chords, one of the best instruments for playing solo. But I hate the piano because it forces you into equal temperment, no alternate tunings, bending notes, etc.

	♥ 9:24am dale: lionel ritchie could sing three times a lady over this and it would make sense.
	9:25am YETI BOB: @Webhamster Henry: Thanks for sharing, I'll listen later! I know some composers have written for retuned pianos (eg Lou Harrison). But it's a lot of work to retune a piano, beyond the reach of most players. (And of course with digital keyboards you can tune them however you like, but that's a different beast)

	♥ 9:26am Joe McG: @Ken: You bet your booties. This fall, guaranteed.
	♥ 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Swingin' the classics!
	♥ 9:27am dale: a salute to jerry murad too!

	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Oh Nutrocker. Class.

	♥ 9:29am Krys O.: Aw, Keith Emerson was a cool dude. He had a sad end.
	♥ 9:29am Brian in UK: Joanna, rhyming slang for pianner. Popular in the early Twentieth century when it was ubiquitous in many homes. Rarely heard these days because wireless receiving apparatus has killed all forms of self-entertainment.
	♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Haha ... can't wait, Joe. Can someone dial up the Old Codger? What's his number again? It falls somewhere between "5" and "7," as I recall.
	♥ 9:30am G: @Krys. Yup. Had already had surgery back in the 90s, and his hands were going :-(
	9:30am YETI BOB: @HH: Yeah, we're going to try some non-urban kayaking for a change. I've never been to this stretch of river but it's supposed to have some limestone cliffs and wildlife. About an hour out of the city. We're planning to park a bicycle downstream, then drive back upstream and launch ourselves. Will report back!
	♥ 9:31am Stanley: Joe! Guys! And a knees up Mother Brownlode to you, Brain.

	♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: Russ Conway is my pick. Oh & Winifred Atwell.
	9:34am TDK60: Got to catch B. Evans once, by chance. Was walking by a club. Doors open, no charge (dinner crowd).

	10:31am mb: Can someone please post a link to the Fall sched? When SUW went off the air that messed me up something fierce. Actually don't think i've fully recovered. I'd like to be mentally prepared this time if we are losing Peaceful Solutions or Avant Ghetto. Congrats on the extension, JoE!

	10:54am Roberto: Lene!
	10:55am Mike W: @Phillippe They were Akronites, but I have no memory of where they’d gone to school (and never heard any stories of them at my h.s.). Kent State’s campus may have played a larger role in Devo’s formation, location-wise
