WFMU: Irene Trudel: Playlist from November 2, 2020

Listener comments!
	♥ 11:48am Sean in Bristol UK: Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all
	11:59am βrian: Willie Nelson sent me here.
	♥ 11:59am Irene Trudel: Welcome Sean and all time-changers listening in! Lots more guitar instrumentals coming your way today, and by no means a definitive selection.
	12:01pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Irene, Sean, βrian
	♥ 12:01pm listener james from westwood: Yay for part 2 of the guitar fest!
	12:01pm TDK60: Hi Irene. Glad to be here. I caught the prior guitar show via archives.
	♥ 12:01pm Sean in Bristol UK: Bonsoir Sylvia
	♥ 12:02pm Irene Trudel: Good guitars to you, βrian, Sylvia, james, and TDK60!
	12:04pm TDK60: Bonjour Sylvia in France. "Hiya" Sean in Bristol.
	12:04pm Peter K.: It's a great show already!
	12:05pm YETI BOB: Hi Irene. I'm looking forward to this. I think "definitive selection" is not even remotely possible - you'd have to narrow it down somehow. Last week we heard Fahey and Fripp - the guitar is a whole wide world in itself. You could do this every week pretty much forever and not run out of great guitar music to play.
	12:06pm TDK60: ..uh-oh..
	♥ 12:07pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hey TDK60, Yeti Bob, Brian and Peter. Cracking start to the show, me thinks we are in for an awesome ride through some aural plentitudes
	♥ 12:07pm Stanley: Go John Go!
	12:08pm YETI BOB: Hi to Sean in Bristol and all the other fans of guitar music & Irene's great show.
	♥ 12:08pm Irene Trudel: Hi YETI BOB! So true. The guitar world is very wide. I won't even dip into classical guitar-- totally a thing of its own.
	♥ 12:08pm Stanley: Sorry: Go Irene Go!
	♥ 12:09pm Irene Trudel: HaHa, Stanley!
	12:12pm βrian: Sometimes I want to hear guìtar; sometimes I want to hear guitàr.
	12:12pm YETI BOB: I have a (very) little Daniel Bachman story, does anyone want to hear it? (I think we may hear some D.B. later in this show)
	♥ 12:13pm Sean in Bristol UK: Yes please, Yeti
	12:13pm Peter K.: Are they chanting "Obama"??
	♥ 12:14pm Michael 98145: November jitters ...
	12:15pm YETI BOB: He played at the Hideout in Chicago which is just about my favorite place in the world to see music. This was maybe 4,5 years ago. He played on the front porch instead of inside the club. There was a small but very devoted audience. It was just a little bit chilly, a fall afternoon if I recall correctly. The music was transportive.
	♥ 12:15pm Michael 98145: Give the drummer a guitar
	12:16pm TDK60: Good to hear early Santana, and Larry C. here; he tears it up.
	12:16pm YETI BOB: He was playing a very interesting kind of guitar, the neck seemed like an extension of the body, and it sounded super-resonant. I found out it's called a Weissenborn guitar, they were made in the 1920s-30s and are sought-after.
	12:17pm YETI BOB: I modestly approached Daniel after he finished playing, wanting to tell him how much I loved the show and to ask him about the guitar - I'm super-interested in old and unusual guitars. I asked him if the neck was indeed hollow.
	12:18pm YETI BOB: He tells me, yes, it's a hollow neck, it's called a Weissenborn, and he hands it to me - "Here - do you want to play it?".
	12:19pm YETI BOB: I was just floored. I did not let him pass it to me, I handed it right back, "Thanks! but ....". I didn't want to play Daniel Bachman's guitar in front of an audience right after he finished his set!!! But what an incredibly generous and friendly gesture.
	♥ 12:23pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for that story about Daniel, YETI BOB! I had him on my WFMU show a few times and found him to be the sweetest, most modest human. An enormous talent! (And, yes, Daniel is in the mix soon!)
	♥ 12:23pm Sean in Bristol UK: Great story, Yeti
	12:26pm Nulsh: Howdy amigos! I loved last week's guitar fest and came back fer' more!
	12:27pm TDK60: Do you play the guitar, Irene? I pretend to..
	12:28pm YETI BOB: I've been messing around on the guitar for 40-some years and I've progressed from "really bad" to "barely adequate" :)
	♥ 12:28pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:30pm YETI BOB: If we all make it another 40 years maybe I'll be ready to play Daniel's Weissenborn at the Hideout.
	♥ 12:35pm Irene Trudel: Howdy to you, Nulsh and to Summer and Michael and Sylvia! glad you're here for part 2. YETI BOB, that about describes me. As you can see, I have two nice guitars but I virtually stopped playing because of hand issues. Now that I've had carpal tunnel surgery it might be time to try and get back in playing shape. Which is just adequate.
	12:36pm YETI BOB: I play to relax and enjoy myself. One of the things I've learned over the years is that you don't have to be great at something to enjoy it.
	♥ 12:39pm Irene Trudel: TDK60, as I said, those two nice guitars pictured have remained unplayed for a while. I pretended to play a few tunes but I'm more of an appreciator of those who really have talent.
	12:40pm Nulsh: Woah. Just noticed the guitars! G&L and an Alvarez! Nice indeed. Hope yer' hands are up for playing soon Irene.
	♥ 12:42pm Sean in Bristol UK: Got my WFMU package today, seems only right to open my swag whilst listening to your awesome show, Irene
	♥ 12:43pm Irene Trudel: Nice Sean!
	♥ 12:47pm Michael 98145: movement is almost always good therapy
	12:50pm Mark R: Really love that new White/Anderson album.
	♥ 12:50pm Sean in Bristol UK: Lucky enough to see Jan Akkerman in Amsterdam, 1987
	♥ 12:54pm Irene Trudel: Good point Michael. Mark R, yes I need to dip more into that one. Lots of great playing on it. Sean, I'm a bit jealous! Never got to see Akkerman but I see he put out an album about a year ago. Must investigate more!
	12:56pm YETI BOB: I can't say enough good things about this entire Imaginational Anthem series. The one curated by Ryley Walker was really interesting (it features Shane Parish, Kendra Amalie and Mathew Rolin among others). And Shane Parish's "Undertaker Please Drive Slow" was just devastatingly beautiful. And I also want to mention my friend Nathaniel Braddock ... and ... and ... and ... :)
	♥ 12:58pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, I've found so many great tracks through Tompkins Square. Also, Josh, who runs the label is constantly feeding me new stuff. He knows my tastes (and has great taste himself)!
	♥ 1:08pm Sean in Bristol UK: Excellent point, Irene, I say the same to folks here in the UK, if you don't vote then you have nada to complain about
	1:29pm Mark R: This is cool--I don't think enough people have explored the outer reaches of possibility on the pedal steel.
	1:33pm YETI BOB: Experimental Pedal Steel makes me need to mention Susan Alcorn, who is just an absolute genius. Irene, you could do part 3 with just female guitarists :)
	♥ 1:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: Love this album by Mr Kaphan, thank you Irene for showing me the way back in the day
	♥ 1:35pm Irene Trudel: Bruce's music is quite wonderful. He once was in American Music Club but moved into solo stuff some time ago. And I forgot about Susan! So many I won't get to today.
	♥ 1:36pm Sean in Bristol UK: curled up on the kitchen floor begging for forgiveness, Miss Trudel, oh my goodness, what a set!
	1:50pm Davee: Hi Irene!
	♥ 1:53pm Stanley: Thanks for including FZ.
	♥ 1:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Irene!
	♥ 1:58pm Irene Trudel: Hi Davee and doctorjazz! Stanley, Zappa doesn't get nearly enough credit for his guitar playing.
	1:58pm Davee: Reminds me a bit of Pat Metheny . . . I wonder if they know each other.
	2:00pm Mark R: I concur, Ms. Trudel, I believe FZ is highly underrated (including by himself) as a guitar player. Very original, one of the few of that era whose style wasn't built on a foundation of stolen blues licks.
	♥ 2:02pm Stanley: You have a good point, Mark R.
	♥ 2:05pm Sean in Bristol UK: With you, Mark R, Mr Zappa was a virtuoso, Steve Vai is what he is due to Frank
	2:07pm Mark R: I'd say maybe Robert Fripp being the other I can think of.
	2:10pm YETI BOB: Mark R: Michael Karoli in Can? Fred Frith in Henry Cow? I'd say a lot of prog-rock and krautrock was deliberately trying to avoid the blues - with mixed results, sometimes great, sometimes horrible! (And I say that as a huge fan of Fripp and King Crimson)
	♥ 2:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: I need to explore The Durutti Column, know the band by name, that's about it. But what you have played, Irene, tonight and in the past has blown me away
	2:11pm Sylvia (France-NYC): this track is beautiful
	2:11pm Mark R: I didn't mean to imply that FZ and Fripp were the only ones...just the two that sprung to mind.
	2:12pm Constant Follower: Late to the party. Hi Irene, hello all. Looks like it's been a beautiful show so far! Chuck Johnson played to a full house for the night I put on in Stirling. It was the 'Balsams' tour, and he went straight through without clapping breaks, with everyone completely silent mesmerised. Venue were annoyed that people weren't going to the bar.
	♥ 2:13pm Sean in Bristol UK: Isn't it, Sylvia, beautiful track
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): yes, Sean, I had never heard of this band before
	2:14pm YETI BOB: Mark R: I get ya - and I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just rattling off a few more names that came to my mind.
	♥ 2:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Follower, how the devil are you, sir?
	2:15pm Mark R: Yeah, you just reminded me of a few more
	♥ 2:16pm Irene Trudel: Constant Follower, that's lovely to hear about Chuck! Sorry I'm only adding him for talkover music today.
	♥ 2:17pm Sean in Bristol UK: Eek, this is a stupendous set, Miss T
	2:17pm Constant Follower: Tired but happy thanks Sean. And in need of exactly this music right now! This is gorgeous.
	♥ 2:18pm Irene Trudel: Sorry I shortchanged Ben Monder, whose lovely track followed Durutti Column.
	♥ 2:32pm Irene Trudel: Whoops, big mis-step on my part about Pat Martino. He is still with us, but probably won't ever play again due to severe health issues of which he has had many. There's a GoFundMe on his home page if anyone's interested. www.patmartino.com
	2:35pm βrian: Where's my glass of Mâcon Villages, waiter?
	♥ 2:38pm Michael 98145: i think he is busy decanting our Saint-Émilion
	♥ 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: My Queen, alas I cannot sail from 'the old world' to 'the new world' wherst I cannot bestow the most humble potato in my gratitude to this most beauticious of shows
	2:41pm ?: Hi hi hi, Irene!
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: A glass of fine wine, a nicely roasted potato and the music of guitars-- who could ask for anything more?
	♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: indeed
	♥ 2:43pm Irene Trudel: Hi ?
	♥ 2:45pm Doug Schulkind: Whoops! That ? was me forgetting to log in. I stand by my original comment.
	♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: Your shows are always wonderful. Thank you so much.
	♥ 2:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: Three hours isn't long enough, roll on next Monday what a fab, fab show!
	2:50pm Nulsh: Thanks Irene, another top show! Cheers to Jeffrey from Shrunken Planet who put me onto yer' guitar fest. Was real nice to hear Vini Reilly on the radio too.
	♥ 2:54pm Irene Trudel: Hi (Doug)!
	♥ 2:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Got to do the baseball reference, 'Miss Trudel up to bat, here's the pitch, (pause), that ball is history, gone. Miss Trudel has gone 'yard'!. Thank you, Irene, a show of sheer beauty.
	2:55pm Shaw: Chiming in late to say how much I enjoy your show Irene! And I've been loving these guitar shows. I enjoyed hearing Vini Reilly today. I discovered him on your show 10 or 12 years back.
	2:55pm Constant Follower: Thanks Irene! Wonderful show - I'll enjoy catching up with the first half.
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: So glad you could join me for part two of Guitars Galore! With every piece I play, I think of five more I've forgotten. I'll have to intersperse more guitars in future shows-- not such a stretch for me! Catch everyone next Monday! Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next!
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: I will probably spend ALL day tomorrow listening to WFMU and archives. Really. Stay sane, everyone.
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This Must Be the Beginning (you have to speak truth): Up now on this drummer radio! wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Irene!!
	♥ 3:01pm Irene Trudel: Great idea Michael! Catch you all next week.

	1:50pm Davee: Hi Irene!
	♥ 1:53pm Stanley: Thanks for including FZ.
	♥ 1:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Irene!
	♥ 1:58pm Irene Trudel: Hi Davee and doctorjazz! Stanley, Zappa doesn't get nearly enough credit for his guitar playing.
	1:58pm Davee: Reminds me a bit of Pat Metheny . . . I wonder if they know each other.
	2:00pm Mark R: I concur, Ms. Trudel, I believe FZ is highly underrated (including by himself) as a guitar player. Very original, one of the few of that era whose style wasn't built on a foundation of stolen blues licks.
	♥ 2:02pm Stanley: You have a good point, Mark R.
	♥ 2:05pm Sean in Bristol UK: With you, Mark R, Mr Zappa was a virtuoso, Steve Vai is what he is due to Frank
	2:07pm Mark R: I'd say maybe Robert Fripp being the other I can think of.
	2:10pm YETI BOB: Mark R: Michael Karoli in Can? Fred Frith in Henry Cow? I'd say a lot of prog-rock and krautrock was deliberately trying to avoid the blues - with mixed results, sometimes great, sometimes horrible! (And I say that as a huge fan of Fripp and King Crimson)
	♥ 2:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: I need to explore The Durutti Column, know the band by name, that's about it. But what you have played, Irene, tonight and in the past has blown me away
	2:11pm Sylvia (France-NYC): this track is beautiful
	2:11pm Mark R: I didn't mean to imply that FZ and Fripp were the only ones...just the two that sprung to mind.
	2:12pm Constant Follower: Late to the party. Hi Irene, hello all. Looks like it's been a beautiful show so far! Chuck Johnson played to a full house for the night I put on in Stirling. It was the 'Balsams' tour, and he went straight through without clapping breaks, with everyone completely silent mesmerised. Venue were annoyed that people weren't going to the bar.
	♥ 2:13pm Sean in Bristol UK: Isn't it, Sylvia, beautiful track
	2:14pm Sylvia (France-NYC): yes, Sean, I had never heard of this band before
	2:14pm YETI BOB: Mark R: I get ya - and I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just rattling off a few more names that came to my mind.
	♥ 2:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Follower, how the devil are you, sir?
	2:15pm Mark R: Yeah, you just reminded me of a few more
	♥ 2:16pm Irene Trudel: Constant Follower, that's lovely to hear about Chuck! Sorry I'm only adding him for talkover music today.
	♥ 2:17pm Sean in Bristol UK: Eek, this is a stupendous set, Miss T
	2:17pm Constant Follower: Tired but happy thanks Sean. And in need of exactly this music right now! This is gorgeous.
	♥ 2:18pm Irene Trudel: Sorry I shortchanged Ben Monder, whose lovely track followed Durutti Column.
	♥ 2:32pm Irene Trudel: Whoops, big mis-step on my part about Pat Martino. He is still with us, but probably won't ever play again due to severe health issues of which he has had many. There's a GoFundMe on his home page if anyone's interested. www.patmartino.com
	2:35pm βrian: Where's my glass of Mâcon Villages, waiter?
	♥ 2:38pm Michael 98145: i think he is busy decanting our Saint-Émilion
	♥ 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: My Queen, alas I cannot sail from 'the old world' to 'the new world' wherst I cannot bestow the most humble potato in my gratitude to this most beauticious of shows
	2:41pm ?: Hi hi hi, Irene!
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: A glass of fine wine, a nicely roasted potato and the music of guitars-- who could ask for anything more?
	♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: indeed
	♥ 2:43pm Irene Trudel: Hi ?
	♥ 2:45pm Doug Schulkind: Whoops! That ? was me forgetting to log in. I stand by my original comment.
	♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: Your shows are always wonderful. Thank you so much.
	♥ 2:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: Three hours isn't long enough, roll on next Monday what a fab, fab show!
	2:50pm Nulsh: Thanks Irene, another top show! Cheers to Jeffrey from Shrunken Planet who put me onto yer' guitar fest. Was real nice to hear Vini Reilly on the radio too.
	♥ 2:54pm Irene Trudel: Hi (Doug)!
	♥ 2:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Got to do the baseball reference, 'Miss Trudel up to bat, here's the pitch, (pause), that ball is history, gone. Miss Trudel has gone 'yard'!. Thank you, Irene, a show of sheer beauty.
	2:55pm Shaw: Chiming in late to say how much I enjoy your show Irene! And I've been loving these guitar shows. I enjoyed hearing Vini Reilly today. I discovered him on your show 10 or 12 years back.
	2:55pm Constant Follower: Thanks Irene! Wonderful show - I'll enjoy catching up with the first half.
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: So glad you could join me for part two of Guitars Galore! With every piece I play, I think of five more I've forgotten. I'll have to intersperse more guitars in future shows-- not such a stretch for me! Catch everyone next Monday! Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next!
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: I will probably spend ALL day tomorrow listening to WFMU and archives. Really. Stay sane, everyone.
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): This Must Be the Beginning (you have to speak truth): Up now on this drummer radio! wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Irene!!
	♥ 3:01pm Irene Trudel: Great idea Michael! Catch you all next week.
