	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Good morning modern world inhabitants!
	9:07am Lisboner Pascal (France): Good moanings all! What a beautiful start to the set, sigh
	9:07am steveo: Good morning; wonderful opening
	9:08am TDK60: Good morning Trouble.
	9:13am morphe: I think young people are lucky to be growing up in amerika in a time of Re-Newed emphasis on Liberation, Justice,Human Rights and all, of society will hopefully reap the benefits of our socially conscious youth !!!!!!!!!! Us geezers also have a role and we too will hopefully live to see the GOODNESS !!!!!
	9:14am Phillippe: Good morning trouble, the troubled, and the troublemakers!
	9:14am LastVisibleDog: Beautiful show so far
	9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I do hope the youth save us because man ,there are some dark forces spending every day trying to break this country (more than it already is).
	9:15am YETI BOB: morphe': It seems cyclic to me - "renewed emphasis on Liberation etc" could apply to the 60s/70s. There was a lot of optimism & hope for change. Then came the 80s and along with tacky fashions and some terrible synth-pop we got the Reagan Revolution, Newt Gingrigch, etc - a massive conservative backlash. Progress is never linear.
	9:16am TDK60: Today in 1935, the New Deal, Works Progress Administration began.
	9:17am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Just the right sounds for a sunny day here, after the hailstones yesterday.
	9:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh gawd, I shouldn't be listening to this show so close to a Bandcamp Friday.
	9:19am alan the painter: Trouble in Mind, trouble in you, Trouble take me to thoughts of providences...providence, Providence!
	9:19am morphe: Love the Octavia Butler tucked in the Baez painting on the accu!!!!! That is an amazing book about the future, survival, strong women ... My fav is still Kindred even though I normally do not go for time travel books ... the deep subtext of Kindred ( I presented in workshops) is the nature/question of bi-racial relationships in amerika.. I do not have an answer, just the questions.... Thanks Trouble and all !!!! Must go to the bank and the market ... hopefully back for more???
	9:20am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hi all. hi Trouble.
	9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble. This is so nice, like something from an asteroid-size music box.
	9:21am Webhamster Henry: Nice 'n' Sister Transitor-y this morning. I think to day is the last day for WFMU-streaming of Sisters With Transistors.
	9:21am morphe: YETI - completely true ... yet strive on must we !!!!!! (Inverted Syntax for emphasis - not to sound like Yoda)
	9:22am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.
	9:23am YETI BOB: morphe': And strive on we shall! Brothers and sisters unite for a better future!!
	9:26am βrian: Good chilly morning.
	9:28am Ryansterlingvirtue: looking forward to my first Thursday off in awhile so I can get into Trouble.
	9:29am Webhamster Henry: Bring on the Droll Yankees!
	9:29am LastVisibleDog: LOL I have a couple of their bird feeders
	9:31am steveo: Wonderful first set; yes, the bird record you were playing last week helped me positively ID the white-throated sparrow, a bird that I've been hearing a lot and trying to figure out. Yay. Ooh, yeah, gotta watch the Sisters.
	9:33am Mark Williams: I saw Transistors as well. Think you're right about those gardens. That footage was so remarkably clear.
	9:33am waters7: Morning. Love the Untermyer Garden.
	9:34am Megaroni: Way to shout out beautiful local nature Trouble:)!
	9:35am The Oscar: Mornin'! Loved Sisters with Transistors as well-- here's my review, if anyone's interested :) bostonhassle.com...
	9:36am Barba Yiorgi: if you have a Roku and a Mac laptop, laptop can cast to your TV via the Roku. good for watching movies on bigger screen.
	9:36am DerHeinrich: Yes! We watched Sisters with Transistors last night. Just excellent. Content, perspective, editing - all around.
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: There are a few extras with Sisters/Transistors as well. And if you can't get enough, a few years ago, GTDS's Flash Strap did four 3 hour shows concentrating on women in electronic music. Here are the archive links - bookmark 'em! wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org...
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB et al : I keep coming back to the fact that the Republican Party & RightWing have known for decades (@ least) that their policies put them increasing in the Minority (with changing demographics &tc.) - & that therefore transparent honest democracy will not serve them. So - they have acted accordingly - thru Nixon, Reagan, the 'Republican Revolution' w/ Gingrich & Karl Rove - the Tea Party & finally DonaldDrumpf. The Democratic Party in response rather than try & hold the true Left in the tug of war thot it best to compromise toward a 'Center' - but what is a 'Center' when the entire political spectrum slides completely off the rails to the far Right ?? This, & the challenge for the Left is different in as much as being 'Liberal' by definition means tolerating wider views - & it's harder to unite us despite the clear & growing Majority the Democratic Party represents. The Democratic Party is slow to adjust the Populist revolution - whereas the Republican Party being in the Minority shot the dice w/ Drumpf... Optimism & Pessimism I reckon have to be measured to on one hand my expectations of what is likely, based on the System - & on otoh to what is really required to Progress based on conditions... For the Former - Biden seems to be doing well for Domestic policies & frighten us in Foreign policy (has been observed Biden is Centrist - within the range represented by the Democratic Party...) - for the Latter, I feel we are (for instance) out of time for beginning efforts towards Sustainability - & for Democracy in the USA (for instance), we are right now @ the exact knife edge of - all of the above...
	9:42am Handy Haversack: WHH, wasn't there a fairly massive compilation a few years ago, too? Or am I misremembering?
	9:43am 12539: Is this Lamin who used to be on fmu?!
	9:44am Trouble: rev rabbit:can we keep the comments a little more....brief?
	9:44am Trouble: yes lamin used to be a dj here, now he lives in berlin
	9:44am melinda: @Henry that was a great Explorers Room series!
	9:45am oshiwoshi: Dear Trouble thank you very much for your show. It is rare and wonderful, and the proof of your talent is that you elevate tunes beyond their normal selves by providing them with the perfect context.
	9:46am Trouble: merci @oshiwoshi!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Trouble: Apologies. I will keep them few !
	9:50am mb: Good morning DJ Trouble and those tuned in
	9:51am Tank Top: Hey Trouble enjoyed the premium on my morning commute. Having a troubling morning!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: The hound and I need to get outside in this light -- though basking in the light here has been really good, too. Thanks, Trouble. Back soon for more!
	10:00am TDK60: Revrab, it is incredible that some want to restrict democracy. Thanks for your thoughts (unedited; better editing next time? hee..)
	10:03am YETI BOB: RevRab: A bit long, but right on!
	10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK & YB: Thx - I don't wanna distract from the Musical vibes & take oxygen from other convo tho...
	10:04am Barney Grubbs: I miss Lamin & dj rupture
	10:04am alan the painter: ...my cats listen, pastence... focus, speak clearly...purrr...
	10:04am Passaic River Blues: Brunswick Street, South Ward!
	10:06am Listener Gregory: Trouble, you might be interested in this profile of the manager of the Providence bookstore Cellar Stories. Her statement of what she loves about selling books is wonderful. www.finebooksmagazine.com...
	10:06am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good people. +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:07am zopa: Yay it's dubby time! Hi trouble.
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): They don't care about democracy. They care about retaining power. That's it. That's ALL of it.
	10:09am sphere: Over the years, I have become a total dub addict.
	10:10am YETI BOB: Woods - 100% true and good to understand. Once you grasp the fact that "retain power" is basically their one and only axiom, all of their policies and behaviors begin to make sense.
	10:11am sphere: @ YETI BOB: Absolutely.
	10:12am Yes: Hello friends
	10:12am morphe: Always await the Dub section !!!!!!!!
	10:14am karlward: Isn't there a versio nof "Wherever I Lay My Hat" that has female backup singers?
	10:15am Mark Williams: They loved this Marvin Gaye tune in Jamaica. Cornel Campbell did a nice cover of it too, with a pretty wicked Tubby's mix on the b-side.
	10:15am sphere: reggae covers are always so ace.
	10:15am oshiwoshi: Johnny Clarke's hero (Marvin Gaye)?
	10:16am morphe: Sphere/Wood/Yeti - watched a crap thriller film last night The Shooter - (Mark Walenberg) ... about conspiracy and dark doings by shadow groups aligned with politicians and wealth ... not sure if it was coming from the left or the right but a MalTagonist Senator from Montana says something like "... it is not about DEMOCRACY ... It is about power and money and control of that..."
	10:16am Mark Williams: @Trouble - DJ cut to this Holt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGkAmfWENM
	10:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh man, Lou Rawls in dub. So sweet.
	10:18am YETI BOB: Really digging this roots/dub set. I never get tired of this stuff.
	10:19am mb: Trouble has the best reggae selections/sections. Always look forward to these. Dub on Mama.
	10:20am morphe: In Jamaica - every collective van driver has his (almost always he) has his own sound style and decor ... actually that is true in all countries I know south of Rio Bravo/Grande..and west of Europe .. amazing travels with the peoples ...
	10:21am Slaboch: Little Ann never gets old. Sounding great this morning!
	10:26am sphere: One of the greatest things about Jamaican music is their bassists are just awesome.
	10:27am TDK60: Sphere, I make a guess that in most reggae bass is central.
	10:28am sphere: Yep. Nine times out of 10, their riffs are just smashing.
	10:28am sphere: and speaking of BASS....
	10:28am YETI BOB: Reggae bass lines seem so simple, until you sit down and try to play them
	10:29am oshiwoshi: then try reggae drums - Horsemouth FTW
	10:30am Trouble: thanks listener gregory! gracias@slaboch!
	10:30am sugarwolf: Well, I’m officially two weeks post vaxx, whoo!
	10:31am βrian: Little Human loves "German Bass."
	10:31am TDK60: In a Linton Kwesi Johnson tune he has a line: "It was a sound shaking down your spinal column."
	10:32am morphe: Listener Gregory is tuned in and no doubt Listener Gregory Issacs is listening from the outer spheres and no doubt grooving ...
	10:35am Trouble: yippppeeee @ sugarwolf! congratulations!
	10:38am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. Hope all is well.
	10:40am Trouble: hola @adrian!
	10:40am steveo: Epic set
	10:40am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:41am headcleaner: good morning, trouble!
	10:41am Doug in JC: Because this is my mushroom safe space, there is an interesting article on a woman who photographs mushrooms in the NYer this week: www.newyorker.com...
	10:41am mb: Same @sugarwolf! 2 weeks today. All vaxxed up and nowhere to go.
	10:42am Doug in JC: This set has been perfect for the painfully tedious work I'm stuck with today
	10:43am headcleaner: also perfect for recovering from fractured sleep
	10:48am OTB: Also perfect for alternating between working and staring out the window.
	10:49am headcleaner: that's what most of my day jobs have been like
	10:51am headcleaner: I support you in your mycological affectations, Doug + will endeavour to study that article
	10:51am Hubig Pie: This Googosh I like very much
	10:53am OTB: @headcleaner - none of my previous day jobs ever had me near a window. probably wise on their part....
	10:54am headcleaner: OTB - yup, I know the temptation
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Back inside for a bit. Sounds like all is still Modern in this World here.
	10:59am βrian: "Chah-ming!"
	10:59am Rich in Washington: These Droll Yankee field recording records are something else.
	11:00am Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	11:00am Rich in Washington: my fave is The Frog Pond. It's like Pepperidge Fahm remembahs...
	11:00am Hubig Pie: Sounds like the color commentator for the Red Sox
	11:01am Doug in JC: Hairy woodpeckers always remind me of this comic. I'm reluctant to share it because it's kind of dirty. NSFW! becausebirds.com...
	11:02am βrian: I've never seen a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.
	11:03am JT: Yellow bellied sapsuckers and red bellied wp all over my sugar maple
	11:04am mb: Sharon lives!
	11:04am Jason from Houston: I am not crying, you are crying.
	11:04am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Heh, Doug. There was a red-bellied woodpecker hanging around this last week. Catbird's back. And I spotted both a towhee and grosbeak on Sunday.
	11:04am Andres: Sharon Jones forever!
	11:05am JT: plileated too ... dinosaurs
	11:06am JT: never gets cheugy
	11:06am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: I think that makes sense because I believe sapsuckers would only be in your neck of the woods during migration periods. We see lots of them here in our part of North Jerz over-wintering.
	11:06am Andres: Doug in JC: That cartoon! Thank you for a laugh that had my head in my hands!
	11:08am SWK: Listening from my terrible job, feeling this song hard
	11:09am Doug in JC: @Handy there were evening grosbeaks at a local park this week which is apparently a big deal? @Andres I had a lot of fun once telling the cops all the weird (real) bird names when they swung by to see why we were hanging out in a vacant lot.
	11:10am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:10am HyperDose: Vacant lot hangs are the best!
	11:10am Zinn The Mood: Heavy tune. No punches pulled: reparations now! Love these straightforward civil rights gems. Your show is a treasure.
	11:10am Jason from Houston: Smashing it hard, trouble. Thank you.
	11:11am Doug in JC: @Hyperdose You know it!
	11:12am Jason from Houston: Hang tight, SWK.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Solidarity, SWK.
	11:13am Andres: Doug in JC: I would have loved to hear that conversation. Sounds like good material for a short film.
	11:13am catherine m.: Hi Trouble - can you please do a segment on the great-tailed grackle - I came in contact with these charming and personable and very vocal birds on a recent visit to Texas
	11:14am bill: dig the rhode illand accent bird call
	11:16am βrian: Grackle really should be a verb.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Trouble, you could do a weekly bird segment on Wake and Bake! ("Talk Is Cheep"? "The Trouble with Birds"? "Modern Dinosaur World"?) Maybe in collaboration with Julie, even! Obviously, I expect a 10 percent finder's fee on the massive profits this idea will generate.
	11:16am mb: These drums are snazzy.
	11:17am lis-boner pasc: Great idea re: wake birds! Go for it! Fantastic show today, thanks Trouble!
	11:17am Arlene: Grooving on yr show while waiting on a very long line for Alice Neal show.
	11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): @Catherine M - I lived briefly in West Texas for 9 months. The great tailed grrackle was my favorite bird there.
	11:18am Andres: Handy: "The Trouble with Birds". Perfect in so many ways. Well done!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: Andres: Patent pending! Patent pending, patent pending!
	11:19am Phillippe: "grackle" sounds like some sort of quinoa-based trail mix or cracker or something. "Did you throw some grackle in your backpack? You're gonna get hungry out there..."
	11:19am catherine m.: Tim - glad to hear someone else appreciates them - the natives take them for granted - bird segment on wake and bake such a great idea
	11:19am HyperDose: haha it does, Phillippe!
	11:20am Handy Haversack: "Have you had the artisinal grackle from Whole Foods? So much toasted quinoa."
	11:20am βrian: I'll be heading across the pond in a few weeks (to Michigan). I expect I'll see a few Ruffed Grouse over there. I won't been in Kirtland's Warbler territory.
	11:20am catherine m.: or a really strong wall repair medium..
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Where in the Mitten, βrian?
	11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @catherine - they were also referred to as boat tailed grackles. In the PNW where I live now, my favorite bird is the Stellar's Jay. They remind me a bit of the boat tailed grackle.
	11:21am Jason from Houston: A beautiful, loud ass, parking lot bird. Much appreciated.
	11:22am βrian: Near TC, Handy.
	11:22am Phillippe: Ooh, the Stellar's Jays are cool-looking birds!
	11:22am steveo: Glued to my radio. So good
	11:22am βrian: We'll be taking the M'waukee fast ferry.
	11:23am mb: Thanks DJ and good day to all. Just cold enough in Jersey to complain about it but sunny enough to get out in it. Peas. (uplifting show today Troubs)
	11:23am TDK60: Does grackle taste like chicken? Sorry.
	11:24am Phillippe: cedar waxwings have been reported in the neighborhood, but I've yet to see them.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Very jealous, βrian. You'll pass by my family's farm in Oceana County (NE corner, near Ruby Creek). Gotta head outside until 1 to guard the car. I'll be listening on FM to the end of the show. Thanks, Trouble! Say it loud!
	11:24am Phillippe: @TDK60 more like alligator, I think
	11:24am HyperDose: The Godfather get down!!!
	11:25am zopa: As per my promise... thanks for the James Brown, Trouble!
	11:27am TDK60: No really, grackles are "cool" ; I tell them so when I see them in the park. But they seem too "cool" to respond to me.
	11:27am Stillwell Coney Islander: I'M BLACK AND I'M P R O U D !!
	11:27am Frank Zaatar: Great show, but is anybody else getting some interruptions in the online signal, about every 10 seconds?
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Hell yeah, Stillwell Coney Islander!
	11:28am Jack: Birds! I've just put out my hummingbird feeder a few days ago, already have a couple of hummers, but a red-bellied woodpecker is stealing nectar! He's a pain in the ass! What to do?
	11:30am JT: a cerulean warbler caused quite a commotion in Central Park a few days ago
	11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - 2 things left to do on my Michigan bucket list is taking the ferry across Lake Michigan and going camping on Isle Royale. Have fun in TC. It's nuts how different the place is.
	11:31am Doug in JC: @Frank Just tested fine for me. Bandwidth issue? If you try the 32k stream does it work fine (even though it sounds bad)?
	11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @Jack - maybe put up a suet feeder near by to distract the woodpecker?
	11:33am Doug in JC: My new keyboard just arrived. I have no idea how to play it but that won't stop me
	11:34am βrian: @timFromC: My spouse sometimes takes the late night Manitowoc ferry and naps on the deck. It arrives at about dawn, as I recall.
	11:34am βrian: I remember the Traverse City Zoo. No more.
	11:35am headcleaner: Can you think of a sentence that uses 'grackle' as a verb, @ßrian? And make it sound semi-natural? If you can, then voilà, it becomes a verb. That's how English works!
	11:35am Phillippe: @jack what Tim said. we have both a suet feeder and hummingbird feeder out and the woodpecker hits the suet
	11:36am Listener Gregory: You are knocking it out of the WFMU ballpark with this set, Trouble!
	11:37am headcleaner: "Trouble's set is just grackling with good vibes, steady beats, and useful cultural tips today"
	11:37am Dayffid: Am gonna grackle ye ye bampot.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - that sounds mighty pleasant! I've slept on the beach of Lake Michigan out in the open a few times. Pleasant memories. Wow, I don't remember the Traverse City Zoo - haha
	11:37am People Like Us: darbee-sheer :)
	11:37am Karen: And Pete Seeger
	11:38am βrian: "She'd been walking for hours beneath the searing sun, and her thoughts were beginning to grackle."
	11:38am Jack: The pecker - after draining the nectar from the hummingbird feeder - then helps itself to the other seed we put out. I'm afraid to put out suet, for fear of other varmints (including bears)...
	11:38am Phillippe: @headcleaner "Can you grab the spray cleaner? Stupid birds grackled on the lid of the smoker."
	11:38am Frank Zaatar: @Doug: Actually, Tammy came thorugh loud and clear, so who knows. I didn't have a problems with other radio streams I just tried, so I wondered if it was on the station's end. But maybe it's my wifi.
	11:39am Listener Gregory: Kill 'Em and Leave is such an awesome book! It really doesn't make any difference whether you like James Brown's music—it will knock your socks off.
	11:40am Hubig Pie: Grackle the holes onna walls before you paint them yo
	11:40am alan the painter: Yes yes, good note James squared, Mr.Brown interviewed by James McBride, interview with McBride by Terry Gross engrossing!!
	11:40am YETI BOB: Doug in JC: "What would Stevie Wonder do?"
	11:41am headcleaner: I think we just grackled a new verb into existence!
	11:41am Karen: I always forget that James Brown is also 5/3 because I would remember Pete Seeger having a 5/3 birthday from back in my Sesame Street watching days. I guess if James Brown sang more often with PBS muppets I’d remember his birthday too.
	11:41am Doug in JC: @Frank always worth asking! Sometimes it needs a reset though @YB Be horrified by what I'm going to do, probably
	11:41am Phillippe: @jack, hmm, bears are not a problem around here. we have our suet feeder dangling over the cellarway stairs to discourage uninvited diners. squirrels have even given up
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Ooh - I'll check out Kill "em and Leave. I love Trouble's book recommendations. Last week I read Qualification by David Heatly who was a guest on Trouble. I have to admit that I hated David other book 'My Brain Is Upset Down'. I think that reading that book first helped me enjoy and get more out of Qualification. I knew what I was in for and was able to handle David's extreme narcissism and the shitty ways her treats his wife and kids.
	11:42am alan the painter: ...grackle your sheet together..
	11:42am Doug in JC: I'm out. Thanks Trouble! Very calming today
	11:43am YETI BOB: Modern World Book List here, feel free to add more at the bottom! docs.google.com...
	11:43am Karen: Grackle as a verb needs to be more about being an annoying group.
	11:44am Jack: @phillippe - hmmm...I'll have to think on that. I also have squirrel issues. I love all the little critters, but some of them are such hogs that the smaller ones don't get a fair share. Can't feed everybody!
	11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Ow wow, thanks Yeti! That's awesome.
	11:45am Phillippe: "The damn teenagers behind me grackled through the whole freakin' movie!"
	11:45am Jack: Grackles get a bad rap around here. They flock with red-wing blackbirds, and the undesirable cowbirds.
	11:45am Karen: @Trouble and all teachers: Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! <3
	11:45am Hubig Pie: 5/6 birthdays- Orson Welles Willie Mays Letitia Sadier Hubig Pie
	11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): I should add to my David Heatley comment that hearing him on this show opened me up to giving his writing another try.
	11:47am Karen: @Philipe YES
	11:47am Michael 98145: HBD @HP !
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Happy Birthday, Hubig Pie! Orson, Willie and Letitia should be honored.
	11:47am YETI BOB: Hubig Birthday To You!
	11:47am Karen: @Phillippe sorry about the autocorrect changing your name in the earlier comment.
	11:48am Phillippe: @jack my bride puts out a bowl of sacrificial sunflower seeds for the squirrels. not sure if it helps
	11:48am Trouble: thanks @ karen! and mad hugs of appreciation to all the parents who jumped in to steer the home school ship!!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:05am Irene: Happy Thursday, Trouble and all you Modern Worldly people!
	9:06am Rick A: Trouble, I received the new premium with my swag, another outstanding one, on repeated play, thank you!
	9:06am Trouble: All swell @ yeti bob, i did LOVE the movie born in flames...
	9:06am Trouble: glad you are enjoying it @rick A!
	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Good morning modern world inhabitants!
	9:07am Lisboner Pascal (France): Good moanings all! What a beautiful start to the set, sigh
	9:07am steveo: Good morning; wonderful opening
	9:08am TDK60: Good morning Trouble.
	9:13am morphe: I think young people are lucky to be growing up in amerika in a time of Re-Newed emphasis on Liberation, Justice,Human Rights and all, of society will hopefully reap the benefits of our socially conscious youth !!!!!!!!!! Us geezers also have a role and we too will hopefully live to see the GOODNESS !!!!!
	9:14am Phillippe: Good morning trouble, the troubled, and the troublemakers!
	9:14am LastVisibleDog: Beautiful show so far
	9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I do hope the youth save us because man ,there are some dark forces spending every day trying to break this country (more than it already is).
	9:15am YETI BOB: morphe': It seems cyclic to me - "renewed emphasis on Liberation etc" could apply to the 60s/70s. There was a lot of optimism & hope for change. Then came the 80s and along with tacky fashions and some terrible synth-pop we got the Reagan Revolution, Newt Gingrigch, etc - a massive conservative backlash. Progress is never linear.
	9:16am TDK60: Today in 1935, the New Deal, Works Progress Administration began.
	9:17am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Just the right sounds for a sunny day here, after the hailstones yesterday.
	9:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh gawd, I shouldn't be listening to this show so close to a Bandcamp Friday.
	9:19am alan the painter: Trouble in Mind, trouble in you, Trouble take me to thoughts of providences...providence, Providence!
	9:19am morphe: Love the Octavia Butler tucked in the Baez painting on the accu!!!!! That is an amazing book about the future, survival, strong women ... My fav is still Kindred even though I normally do not go for time travel books ... the deep subtext of Kindred ( I presented in workshops) is the nature/question of bi-racial relationships in amerika.. I do not have an answer, just the questions.... Thanks Trouble and all !!!! Must go to the bank and the market ... hopefully back for more???
	9:20am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hi all. hi Trouble.
	9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble. This is so nice, like something from an asteroid-size music box.
	9:21am Webhamster Henry: Nice 'n' Sister Transitor-y this morning. I think to day is the last day for WFMU-streaming of Sisters With Transistors.
	9:21am morphe: YETI - completely true ... yet strive on must we !!!!!! (Inverted Syntax for emphasis - not to sound like Yoda)
	9:22am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.
	9:23am YETI BOB: morphe': And strive on we shall! Brothers and sisters unite for a better future!!
	9:26am βrian: Good chilly morning.
	9:28am Ryansterlingvirtue: looking forward to my first Thursday off in awhile so I can get into Trouble.
	9:29am Webhamster Henry: Bring on the Droll Yankees!
	9:29am LastVisibleDog: LOL I have a couple of their bird feeders
	9:31am steveo: Wonderful first set; yes, the bird record you were playing last week helped me positively ID the white-throated sparrow, a bird that I've been hearing a lot and trying to figure out. Yay. Ooh, yeah, gotta watch the Sisters.
	9:33am Mark Williams: I saw Transistors as well. Think you're right about those gardens. That footage was so remarkably clear.
	9:33am waters7: Morning. Love the Untermyer Garden.
	9:34am Megaroni: Way to shout out beautiful local nature Trouble:)!
	9:35am The Oscar: Mornin'! Loved Sisters with Transistors as well-- here's my review, if anyone's interested :) bostonhassle.com...
	9:36am Barba Yiorgi: if you have a Roku and a Mac laptop, laptop can cast to your TV via the Roku. good for watching movies on bigger screen.
	9:36am DerHeinrich: Yes! We watched Sisters with Transistors last night. Just excellent. Content, perspective, editing - all around.
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: There are a few extras with Sisters/Transistors as well. And if you can't get enough, a few years ago, GTDS's Flash Strap did four 3 hour shows concentrating on women in electronic music. Here are the archive links - bookmark 'em! wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org... wfmu.org...
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB et al : I keep coming back to the fact that the Republican Party & RightWing have known for decades (@ least) that their policies put them increasing in the Minority (with changing demographics &tc.) - & that therefore transparent honest democracy will not serve them. So - they have acted accordingly - thru Nixon, Reagan, the 'Republican Revolution' w/ Gingrich & Karl Rove - the Tea Party & finally DonaldDrumpf. The Democratic Party in response rather than try & hold the true Left in the tug of war thot it best to compromise toward a 'Center' - but what is a 'Center' when the entire political spectrum slides completely off the rails to the far Right ?? This, & the challenge for the Left is different in as much as being 'Liberal' by definition means tolerating wider views - & it's harder to unite us despite the clear & growing Majority the Democratic Party represents. The Democratic Party is slow to adjust the Populist revolution - whereas the Republican Party being in the Minority shot the dice w/ Drumpf... Optimism & Pessimism I reckon have to be measured to on one hand my expectations of what is likely, based on the System - & on otoh to what is really required to Progress based on conditions... For the Former - Biden seems to be doing well for Domestic policies & frighten us in Foreign policy (has been observed Biden is Centrist - within the range represented by the Democratic Party...) - for the Latter, I feel we are (for instance) out of time for beginning efforts towards Sustainability - & for Democracy in the USA (for instance), we are right now @ the exact knife edge of - all of the above...
	9:42am Handy Haversack: WHH, wasn't there a fairly massive compilation a few years ago, too? Or am I misremembering?
	9:43am 12539: Is this Lamin who used to be on fmu?!
	9:44am Trouble: rev rabbit:can we keep the comments a little more....brief?
	9:44am Trouble: yes lamin used to be a dj here, now he lives in berlin
	9:44am melinda: @Henry that was a great Explorers Room series!
	9:45am oshiwoshi: Dear Trouble thank you very much for your show. It is rare and wonderful, and the proof of your talent is that you elevate tunes beyond their normal selves by providing them with the perfect context.
	9:46am Trouble: merci @oshiwoshi!
	9:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Trouble: Apologies. I will keep them few !
	9:50am mb: Good morning DJ Trouble and those tuned in
	9:51am Tank Top: Hey Trouble enjoyed the premium on my morning commute. Having a troubling morning!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: The hound and I need to get outside in this light -- though basking in the light here has been really good, too. Thanks, Trouble. Back soon for more!
	10:00am TDK60: Revrab, it is incredible that some want to restrict democracy. Thanks for your thoughts (unedited; better editing next time? hee..)
	10:03am YETI BOB: RevRab: A bit long, but right on!
	10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK & YB: Thx - I don't wanna distract from the Musical vibes & take oxygen from other convo tho...
	10:04am Barney Grubbs: I miss Lamin & dj rupture
	10:04am alan the painter: ...my cats listen, pastence... focus, speak clearly...purrr...
	10:04am Passaic River Blues: Brunswick Street, South Ward!
	10:06am Listener Gregory: Trouble, you might be interested in this profile of the manager of the Providence bookstore Cellar Stories. Her statement of what she loves about selling books is wonderful. www.finebooksmagazine.com...
	10:06am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good people. +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:07am zopa: Yay it's dubby time! Hi trouble.
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): They don't care about democracy. They care about retaining power. That's it. That's ALL of it.
	10:09am sphere: Over the years, I have become a total dub addict.
	10:10am YETI BOB: Woods - 100% true and good to understand. Once you grasp the fact that "retain power" is basically their one and only axiom, all of their policies and behaviors begin to make sense.
	10:11am sphere: @ YETI BOB: Absolutely.
	10:12am Yes: Hello friends
	10:12am morphe: Always await the Dub section !!!!!!!!
	10:14am karlward: Isn't there a versio nof "Wherever I Lay My Hat" that has female backup singers?
	10:15am Mark Williams: They loved this Marvin Gaye tune in Jamaica. Cornel Campbell did a nice cover of it too, with a pretty wicked Tubby's mix on the b-side.
	10:15am sphere: reggae covers are always so ace.
	10:15am oshiwoshi: Johnny Clarke's hero (Marvin Gaye)?
	10:16am morphe: Sphere/Wood/Yeti - watched a crap thriller film last night The Shooter - (Mark Walenberg) ... about conspiracy and dark doings by shadow groups aligned with politicians and wealth ... not sure if it was coming from the left or the right but a MalTagonist Senator from Montana says something like "... it is not about DEMOCRACY ... It is about power and money and control of that..."
	10:16am Mark Williams: @Trouble - DJ cut to this Holt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGkAmfWENM
	10:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh man, Lou Rawls in dub. So sweet.
	10:18am YETI BOB: Really digging this roots/dub set. I never get tired of this stuff.
	10:19am mb: Trouble has the best reggae selections/sections. Always look forward to these. Dub on Mama.
	10:20am morphe: In Jamaica - every collective van driver has his (almost always he) has his own sound style and decor ... actually that is true in all countries I know south of Rio Bravo/Grande..and west of Europe .. amazing travels with the peoples ...
	10:21am Slaboch: Little Ann never gets old. Sounding great this morning!
	10:26am sphere: One of the greatest things about Jamaican music is their bassists are just awesome.
	10:27am TDK60: Sphere, I make a guess that in most reggae bass is central.
	10:28am sphere: Yep. Nine times out of 10, their riffs are just smashing.
	10:28am sphere: and speaking of BASS....
	10:28am YETI BOB: Reggae bass lines seem so simple, until you sit down and try to play them
	10:29am oshiwoshi: then try reggae drums - Horsemouth FTW
	10:30am Trouble: thanks listener gregory! gracias@slaboch!
	10:30am sugarwolf: Well, I’m officially two weeks post vaxx, whoo!
	10:31am βrian: Little Human loves "German Bass."
	10:31am TDK60: In a Linton Kwesi Johnson tune he has a line: "It was a sound shaking down your spinal column."
	10:32am morphe: Listener Gregory is tuned in and no doubt Listener Gregory Issacs is listening from the outer spheres and no doubt grooving ...
	10:35am Trouble: yippppeeee @ sugarwolf! congratulations!
	10:38am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. Hope all is well.
	10:40am Trouble: hola @adrian!
	10:40am steveo: Epic set
	10:40am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:41am headcleaner: good morning, trouble!
	10:41am Doug in JC: Because this is my mushroom safe space, there is an interesting article on a woman who photographs mushrooms in the NYer this week: www.newyorker.com...
	10:41am mb: Same @sugarwolf! 2 weeks today. All vaxxed up and nowhere to go.
	10:42am Doug in JC: This set has been perfect for the painfully tedious work I'm stuck with today
	10:43am headcleaner: also perfect for recovering from fractured sleep
	10:48am OTB: Also perfect for alternating between working and staring out the window.
	10:49am headcleaner: that's what most of my day jobs have been like
	10:51am headcleaner: I support you in your mycological affectations, Doug + will endeavour to study that article
	10:51am Hubig Pie: This Googosh I like very much
	10:53am OTB: @headcleaner - none of my previous day jobs ever had me near a window. probably wise on their part....
	10:54am headcleaner: OTB - yup, I know the temptation
	10:55am Handy Haversack: Back inside for a bit. Sounds like all is still Modern in this World here.
	10:59am βrian: "Chah-ming!"
	10:59am Rich in Washington: These Droll Yankee field recording records are something else.
	11:00am Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	11:00am Rich in Washington: my fave is The Frog Pond. It's like Pepperidge Fahm remembahs...
	11:00am Hubig Pie: Sounds like the color commentator for the Red Sox
	11:01am Doug in JC: Hairy woodpeckers always remind me of this comic. I'm reluctant to share it because it's kind of dirty. NSFW! becausebirds.com...
	11:02am βrian: I've never seen a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.
	11:03am JT: Yellow bellied sapsuckers and red bellied wp all over my sugar maple
	11:04am mb: Sharon lives!
	11:04am Jason from Houston: I am not crying, you are crying.
	11:04am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Heh, Doug. There was a red-bellied woodpecker hanging around this last week. Catbird's back. And I spotted both a towhee and grosbeak on Sunday.
	11:04am Andres: Sharon Jones forever!
	11:05am JT: plileated too ... dinosaurs
	11:06am JT: never gets cheugy
	11:06am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: I think that makes sense because I believe sapsuckers would only be in your neck of the woods during migration periods. We see lots of them here in our part of North Jerz over-wintering.
	11:06am Andres: Doug in JC: That cartoon! Thank you for a laugh that had my head in my hands!
	11:08am SWK: Listening from my terrible job, feeling this song hard
	11:09am Doug in JC: @Handy there were evening grosbeaks at a local park this week which is apparently a big deal? @Andres I had a lot of fun once telling the cops all the weird (real) bird names when they swung by to see why we were hanging out in a vacant lot.
	11:10am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:10am HyperDose: Vacant lot hangs are the best!
	11:10am Zinn The Mood: Heavy tune. No punches pulled: reparations now! Love these straightforward civil rights gems. Your show is a treasure.
	11:10am Jason from Houston: Smashing it hard, trouble. Thank you.
	11:11am Doug in JC: @Hyperdose You know it!
	11:12am Jason from Houston: Hang tight, SWK.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Solidarity, SWK.
	11:13am Andres: Doug in JC: I would have loved to hear that conversation. Sounds like good material for a short film.
	11:13am catherine m.: Hi Trouble - can you please do a segment on the great-tailed grackle - I came in contact with these charming and personable and very vocal birds on a recent visit to Texas
	11:14am bill: dig the rhode illand accent bird call
	11:16am βrian: Grackle really should be a verb.
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Trouble, you could do a weekly bird segment on Wake and Bake! ("Talk Is Cheep"? "The Trouble with Birds"? "Modern Dinosaur World"?) Maybe in collaboration with Julie, even! Obviously, I expect a 10 percent finder's fee on the massive profits this idea will generate.
	11:16am mb: These drums are snazzy.
	11:17am lis-boner pasc: Great idea re: wake birds! Go for it! Fantastic show today, thanks Trouble!
	11:17am Arlene: Grooving on yr show while waiting on a very long line for Alice Neal show.
	11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): @Catherine M - I lived briefly in West Texas for 9 months. The great tailed grrackle was my favorite bird there.
	11:18am Andres: Handy: "The Trouble with Birds". Perfect in so many ways. Well done!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: Andres: Patent pending! Patent pending, patent pending!
	11:19am Phillippe: "grackle" sounds like some sort of quinoa-based trail mix or cracker or something. "Did you throw some grackle in your backpack? You're gonna get hungry out there..."
	11:19am catherine m.: Tim - glad to hear someone else appreciates them - the natives take them for granted - bird segment on wake and bake such a great idea
	11:19am HyperDose: haha it does, Phillippe!
	11:20am Handy Haversack: "Have you had the artisinal grackle from Whole Foods? So much toasted quinoa."
	11:20am βrian: I'll be heading across the pond in a few weeks (to Michigan). I expect I'll see a few Ruffed Grouse over there. I won't been in Kirtland's Warbler territory.
	11:20am catherine m.: or a really strong wall repair medium..
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Where in the Mitten, βrian?
	11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @catherine - they were also referred to as boat tailed grackles. In the PNW where I live now, my favorite bird is the Stellar's Jay. They remind me a bit of the boat tailed grackle.
	11:21am Jason from Houston: A beautiful, loud ass, parking lot bird. Much appreciated.
	11:22am βrian: Near TC, Handy.
	11:22am Phillippe: Ooh, the Stellar's Jays are cool-looking birds!
	11:22am steveo: Glued to my radio. So good
	11:22am βrian: We'll be taking the M'waukee fast ferry.
	11:23am mb: Thanks DJ and good day to all. Just cold enough in Jersey to complain about it but sunny enough to get out in it. Peas. (uplifting show today Troubs)
	11:23am TDK60: Does grackle taste like chicken? Sorry.
	11:24am Phillippe: cedar waxwings have been reported in the neighborhood, but I've yet to see them.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Very jealous, βrian. You'll pass by my family's farm in Oceana County (NE corner, near Ruby Creek). Gotta head outside until 1 to guard the car. I'll be listening on FM to the end of the show. Thanks, Trouble! Say it loud!
	11:24am Phillippe: @TDK60 more like alligator, I think
	11:24am HyperDose: The Godfather get down!!!
	11:25am zopa: As per my promise... thanks for the James Brown, Trouble!
	11:27am TDK60: No really, grackles are "cool" ; I tell them so when I see them in the park. But they seem too "cool" to respond to me.
	11:27am Stillwell Coney Islander: I'M BLACK AND I'M P R O U D !!
	11:27am Frank Zaatar: Great show, but is anybody else getting some interruptions in the online signal, about every 10 seconds?
	11:28am Handy Haversack: Hell yeah, Stillwell Coney Islander!
	11:28am Jack: Birds! I've just put out my hummingbird feeder a few days ago, already have a couple of hummers, but a red-bellied woodpecker is stealing nectar! He's a pain in the ass! What to do?
	11:30am JT: a cerulean warbler caused quite a commotion in Central Park a few days ago
	11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - 2 things left to do on my Michigan bucket list is taking the ferry across Lake Michigan and going camping on Isle Royale. Have fun in TC. It's nuts how different the place is.
	11:31am Doug in JC: @Frank Just tested fine for me. Bandwidth issue? If you try the 32k stream does it work fine (even though it sounds bad)?
	11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @Jack - maybe put up a suet feeder near by to distract the woodpecker?
	11:33am Doug in JC: My new keyboard just arrived. I have no idea how to play it but that won't stop me
	11:34am βrian: @timFromC: My spouse sometimes takes the late night Manitowoc ferry and naps on the deck. It arrives at about dawn, as I recall.
	11:34am βrian: I remember the Traverse City Zoo. No more.
	11:35am headcleaner: Can you think of a sentence that uses 'grackle' as a verb, @ßrian? And make it sound semi-natural? If you can, then voilà, it becomes a verb. That's how English works!
	11:35am Phillippe: @jack what Tim said. we have both a suet feeder and hummingbird feeder out and the woodpecker hits the suet
	11:36am Listener Gregory: You are knocking it out of the WFMU ballpark with this set, Trouble!
	11:37am headcleaner: "Trouble's set is just grackling with good vibes, steady beats, and useful cultural tips today"
	11:37am Dayffid: Am gonna grackle ye ye bampot.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - that sounds mighty pleasant! I've slept on the beach of Lake Michigan out in the open a few times. Pleasant memories. Wow, I don't remember the Traverse City Zoo - haha
	11:37am People Like Us: darbee-sheer :)
	11:37am Karen: And Pete Seeger
	11:38am βrian: "She'd been walking for hours beneath the searing sun, and her thoughts were beginning to grackle."
	11:38am Jack: The pecker - after draining the nectar from the hummingbird feeder - then helps itself to the other seed we put out. I'm afraid to put out suet, for fear of other varmints (including bears)...
	11:38am Phillippe: @headcleaner "Can you grab the spray cleaner? Stupid birds grackled on the lid of the smoker."
	11:38am Frank Zaatar: @Doug: Actually, Tammy came thorugh loud and clear, so who knows. I didn't have a problems with other radio streams I just tried, so I wondered if it was on the station's end. But maybe it's my wifi.
	11:39am Listener Gregory: Kill 'Em and Leave is such an awesome book! It really doesn't make any difference whether you like James Brown's music—it will knock your socks off.
	11:40am Hubig Pie: Grackle the holes onna walls before you paint them yo
	11:40am alan the painter: Yes yes, good note James squared, Mr.Brown interviewed by James McBride, interview with McBride by Terry Gross engrossing!!
	11:40am YETI BOB: Doug in JC: "What would Stevie Wonder do?"
	11:41am headcleaner: I think we just grackled a new verb into existence!
	11:41am Karen: I always forget that James Brown is also 5/3 because I would remember Pete Seeger having a 5/3 birthday from back in my Sesame Street watching days. I guess if James Brown sang more often with PBS muppets I’d remember his birthday too.
	11:41am Doug in JC: @Frank always worth asking! Sometimes it needs a reset though @YB Be horrified by what I'm going to do, probably
	11:41am Phillippe: @jack, hmm, bears are not a problem around here. we have our suet feeder dangling over the cellarway stairs to discourage uninvited diners. squirrels have even given up
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Ooh - I'll check out Kill "em and Leave. I love Trouble's book recommendations. Last week I read Qualification by David Heatly who was a guest on Trouble. I have to admit that I hated David other book 'My Brain Is Upset Down'. I think that reading that book first helped me enjoy and get more out of Qualification. I knew what I was in for and was able to handle David's extreme narcissism and the shitty ways her treats his wife and kids.
	11:42am alan the painter: ...grackle your sheet together..
	11:42am Doug in JC: I'm out. Thanks Trouble! Very calming today
	11:43am YETI BOB: Modern World Book List here, feel free to add more at the bottom! docs.google.com...
	11:43am Karen: Grackle as a verb needs to be more about being an annoying group.
	11:44am Jack: @phillippe - hmmm...I'll have to think on that. I also have squirrel issues. I love all the little critters, but some of them are such hogs that the smaller ones don't get a fair share. Can't feed everybody!
	11:44am tim from champaign (now washington): Ow wow, thanks Yeti! That's awesome.
	11:45am Phillippe: "The damn teenagers behind me grackled through the whole freakin' movie!"
	11:45am Jack: Grackles get a bad rap around here. They flock with red-wing blackbirds, and the undesirable cowbirds.
	11:45am Karen: @Trouble and all teachers: Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! <3
	11:45am Hubig Pie: 5/6 birthdays- Orson Welles Willie Mays Letitia Sadier Hubig Pie
	11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): I should add to my David Heatley comment that hearing him on this show opened me up to giving his writing another try.
	11:47am Karen: @Philipe YES
	11:47am Michael 98145: HBD @HP !
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Happy Birthday, Hubig Pie! Orson, Willie and Letitia should be honored.
	11:47am YETI BOB: Hubig Birthday To You!
	11:47am Karen: @Phillippe sorry about the autocorrect changing your name in the earlier comment.
	11:48am Phillippe: @jack my bride puts out a bowl of sacrificial sunflower seeds for the squirrels. not sure if it helps
	11:48am Trouble: thanks @ karen! and mad hugs of appreciation to all the parents who jumped in to steer the home school ship!!
	11:49am headcleaner: btw Trouble - I nominate "Bird Talk with Trouble (and X)", where X is the guest DJ de la semaine, as the perfect title for your new 3-minute weekly segment on Wake 'n' Bake. It's just grackling with possibility!
	11:49am Hubig Pie: Thanks Michael, Tim and Yeti B
	11:49am JT: Thx DJ Trubble for the lovely rhythms
	11:51am Phillippe: May 7 birthdays Johannes Brahms Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Gary Cooper Johnny Unitas Phillippe Bastille Happy birthday Hubig!
	11:51am Jack: We put out old popcorn, crackers and other leftover stale junk food for the squirrels....THEN they eat the birdseed. They do love (expensive) sunflower seeds! (Got a pair of Canada geese at the feeder right now!)
	11:51am D Rok (in brooklyn): My mother is about to go into major surgery, a couple thousand miles away, while I'm sitting here needing to actually get some work done. Trouble, your always beautiful show has helped make the morning a little easier. Thank you.
	11:51am Phillippe: @Karen no worries. I spelled it wrong when I made it up and it's too late to go back...
	11:52am Strandlund: Happy B-Day Hubig Pie!!
	11:52am MikeG: Haven't heard from ERP in a long time... wonder if he stills works at Home Depot
	11:52am waters7: Beautiful show today, Trouble! Nice to think of you in the studio again. Life continues.
	11:52am Hubig Pie: Phillippe, you forgot George Gabby Hayes, Happy BD!

	11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am alanr: the ability to hear lovely compositions that I never heard before (often on Trouble's show)....reasons why such programmers and indie stations are so critically important.
	11:55am Phillippe: Thank you trouble!
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today!
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. As home school transits to home summer vacation.
	11:56am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:56am Karen: Oh and starting today, Happy Nurses’ Appreciation Week! I think nurses get the whole month, as well you should!

	12:00pm Strandlund: Thanks Trouble...Great show as always!!
