	12:32pm Duane: ..and probably the funkiest theme song to a John Candy Movie
	12:32pm Krys O.: This Atlantic Starr makes me think of Scritti Politti Love them both.
	12:33pm Shri: @serious_cactus then they’ll kill him with self-confidence after poisoning him with words
	12:33pm Duane: Krys O.: Criminally underrated bands who had some insanely sophisticated Pop hits

	12:51pm Little Danny: Hi Duane, hey all!
	12:52pm Duane: What's up Little Danny? Welcome aboard

	12:53pm Rick in Madison: What a gorgeous voice.
	12:53pm Little Danny: Yeah, super nice track.
	12:54pm Shri: @serious_cactus what is a voice dumb animal?
	12:58pm Little Danny: This track too. Gorgeous.
	1:00pm RZ: So good
	1:01pm Passaic River Blues: Compost does not fail.
	1:02pm Rick in Madison: Wow!
	1:05pm tim from washington: When you said "the Oregon trail" I was picturing the Train family having a Blazing Saddles adventure.
	1:05pm Marley P. Dogg: Welcome back Duane!!! Hope you had a great vacation!!!!
	1:08pm Rick in Madison: frantically looks for said duet in archives
	1:10pm tim from washington: I remember that duet! It was really touching. I get misty eyed thinking about it. @Rick - I'm thinking Marathon 2012 or 2013.
	1:10pm Rick in Madison: Thanks, Tim!
	1:11pm Si: You can upload and submit tracks via the app? Where?! It's a dream of mine to have something played on WFMU
	1:14pm Duane: you can send it direct to the DJ's through wfmu email, Si
	1:15pm Little Danny: @Si: The app only sends music out to the world. You can always submit tracks to your fave DJs though.
	1:15pm HyperDose: This is the jam!
	1:16pm Mia D: What a great way to honor the Diabolical One!
	1:18pm tim from washington: Yeah, I remember the Duane and Dea Atlantic Starr duet clearly. Duane and Dea improvised the lyrics and shared a lot of love for each other. At that time in my life I was in a crappy relationship, didn't have a good model of healthy family relationships and was drinking way too much. It was touching to hear Duane and Dea share so much love for each other. I'm in a much better space relationship and family wise I still think about that radio moment with fondness.
	1:19pm tim from washington: Biz! I'm sure he's hanging at the Albee Square Mall in the sky.
	1:19pm mmeghan: duane we listen to your show every week in my art studio in detroit!! love your selections so much, i dream of hearing a set live one day!!!
	1:20pm Marie: love this!
	1:20pm Little Danny: Love that, Tim. ❤️
	1:21pm mb: Just realized its Weds. Is Scott Williams up next today or is he also on vaca?
	1:22pm Duane: That's beautiful TIm..So happy you're in a better place now! Thank you Mmeghan..I love Detroit. I play there occasionally, I'll keep you posted if that happens again soon. I believe Scott is in today,mb
	1:23pm tim from washington: Thanks, Little Danny and Duane!
	1:25pm West Coast Ken: Hi Duane! Loved that VAQO song, found it on Apple Music so I’m putting it on repeat after your show. Welcome back, too.
	1:26pm Duane: Awesome West Coast Ken,,that's what it's all about!
	1:29pm briania: Know this as a Leon & Mary Russell song. Nice slow jam cover!
	1:30pm Little Danny: Love this.
	1:30pm Duane: Yes, Briania! Nice (Duane) TrainSpotting:)
	1:33pm Si: Duane, thanks! I'll look for your email and send you something 😊
	1:36pm Rick in Madison: Yes!
	1:37pm dreamyandseedy: i too dream of catching a live duane set (come to texas?) i'd love to visit nyc one day and fulfill my wish. that may be the only way i can see amy douglas live also!
	1:41pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: Yeah, I've played Austin a bunch in the past, so who knows? Amy D. may be in Texas to perform sooner than you think! I think Hard feelings may tour when it's a bit safer..they definitely want to
	1:43pm dreamyandseedy: that would be amazing! i will keep my ear to the ground :)
	1:45pm Little Danny: @dreamy: are you still in the Hill Country?
	1:47pm Rick in Madison: Whoa! This is CRAZY!
	1:49pm Passaic River Blues: "Post" was/is so good, and this reminds there were several excellent "Isobel" remixes/edits in particular.
	1:50pm Rick in Madison: @Passaic - Totally agree.
	1:56pm saasha foo: Great show today!!!! Thank you!!!!!
	1:58pm Duane: Thank you Saasha!
	2:03pm briania: Also love Barrabas!
	2:09pm tim from washington: Just call it "Duane Spotted" - ;)
	2:09pm ShelbyG: Hey all. Back to VT with my pup, my porch, & y’all. Thanks Duane, fantastic set!
	2:09pm Si: Judy Roberts is battling a rare form of blood cancer but donations can be made towards her care on her website
	2:10pm Marie: I love Cal Tjader
	2:12pm briania: @Si, sad news about Judy Roberts, but thanks for the update.
	2:13pm Si: http://www.judyroberts.com
	2:13pm chris in the redwoods: wooo wooo!
	2:13pm tim from washington: Oh hell yeah! Funky Like A Train! Which reminds me that I'm going to dig into the 2021 Duane Train Premium in the car shortly.
	2:13pm ShelbyG: F U N K Y
	2:14pm Little Danny: Yeah!
	2:14pm Cecile: YAY!
	2:14pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	2:14pm Duane: Unofficial theme song!!
	2:16pm Feldpausch: "Everything I do is gonna be funky like a train"
	2:17pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: yes, outside llano texas!
	2:20pm dreamyandseedy: @duane: i seem to remember you have a connection to kansas? i'm so curious about the state and kansas city, i literally know nothing except ancient knowledge about the cattle drives lol, can you tell me something of what it's like there? i know that's a very ambiguous question but i can't frame it any better :)
	2:20pm ShelbyG: @Duane: perfect theme song
	2:23pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: I'm from Nebraska, but I've been to Kansas many times. Kansas City, Mo is very different from Kansas City, KS. though..Missouri is like a southern state in many ways, especially with the music and it's influence on the world (Blues and jazz in St. Louis and KC Jazz and R & B)...Kansas is very Agricultural..Cattle Industrious..Flatter in landscape
	2:24pm ShelbyG: @Duane: I’m from Omaha! Just got back today from a visit out there.
	2:25pm Duane: oh nice ShelbyG!! I was in Lincoln about two weeks ago
	2:26pm tim from washington: I have heard great things about KC MO.
	2:26pm ShelbyG: Duane, you from Lincoln?
	2:27pm ShelbyG: You were there when it was hotter’n hell! It kiiinda cooled down the last few days.
	2:27pm Duane: shelby:I spent 20 years there
	2:28pm Jeff in Brooklyn: WOW! Funky like a train!
	2:28pm ShelbyG: So, where did you grow up as a kid?
	2:28pm tim from washington: I'm out of breath just listening to the Equals.
	2:28pm Yes: jumping onboard. hey yall
	2:29pm saasha foo: My favorite!!!!!!
	2:29pm Duane: ShelbyG: Pretty much there..I spent all my formative pre-teen to early adult years there. I moved to NY in '95. I was born in Queens and raised here for the early party of my life.
	2:31pm dreamyandseedy: now i'm curious about nebraska too, i picture seas of grass waving in the wind when i think of kansas and nebraska... i'm gonna have to do some reading.
	2:32pm Don S: awesome Patrick Cowley track. i DJed last friday and played it too.
	2:32pm tim from washington: Nebraska is one of the 10 states t hat I haven't been to. I really want to see the Platte river.
	2:32pm Mia D: Feeling this spacey jam as I do spreadsheet work! Pew pew!
	2:32pm ShelbyG: Interesting mix, Duane!
	2:33pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: Well I lived in Lincoln, which is a HUGE college town..my upbringing was more "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Back to School". Not so much "My antonia" at all. I didn't meet any farmers until my early 20's..LOL!
	2:34pm Krys O.: @Mia D: Same here!
	2:35pm Steavin Las Vegas: Duane, next time you’re in Lincoln look up Plack Blague! They perform some real wear-your-body-out, dark, leathery dance jams! Leaning toward the gothy/industrial side but fun for all nonetheless!!
	2:36pm Cecile: I like this song as a dirge
	2:36pm Threemoons: This Safety Dance cover is refreshing and unexpected! Also a little bit chopped n screwed!
	2:37pm Duane: stearin: Oh Word??? Sounds fun! Yeah..there's a big Music fest going on in Lincoln in Sept and they have a lot of cool bands coming out..I did more family stuff when I was there, not a lot of live stuff
	2:37pm tim from washington: I got to make like Boogie and boogie. Thanks for the jams, Duane! See you all on the next ride!
	2:37pm Mia D: @threemoons my thoughts exactly.
	2:37pm coolioiglesias: love this Dilla version! makes me think of the Legowelt cover of the Whispers soundcloud.com...
	2:38pm dreamyandseedy: @shelbyg: can you share some Omaha and/or Nebraska impressions?
	2:38pm Krys O.: @Duane: Your comment about farmers made me think of relatives in Eastern Europe who wrote to us here in the States in the 70s asking if 1) the streets were paved with gold 2) Did we see any Native Americans? and 3) Can we send them large quantities of blue jeans. The irony was that we lived in an urban area of Westchester County, NY and were poor ourselves. Best we could do was send hand-me-downs.
	2:38pm ShelbyG: Very cool safety dance 🕺
	2:41pm Jeff in Brooklyn: Duane - thanks for a great set. This time slot is perfectly synced to spread work week joy. We can now start thinking about the weekend!
	2:43pm Little Danny: Really great to have you back, Duane. Superb selectory as always.
	2:43pm ShelbyG: This cover of summer breeze is smooth af!
	2:44pm Krys O.: Nice!
	2:44pm Duane: My pleasure Jeff!
	2:44pm Jason from Houston: Those keyyyyys!!!
	2:46pm Duane: Krys O: I feel ya! It's the same with my Jamaican and Southern side....People automatically think my upbringing would be pretty rough and I admittedly come from a pretty well educated, some would say "well to do" family on both sides. Both sets of grandparents on the Louisiana side and my parents had M.A.'s!! My Jamaican Grandfather was a Clinical Psychologist and my Uncle Derrick was teen idol..LOL!
	2:47pm G: @Duane: Where in LA? I'm in New O.
	2:48pm Little Danny: Duane needs his own AMA
	2:48pm Krys O.: Awesome, Duane! Welcome back and thanks for the fantastic show!
	2:49pm Duane: G: My Grandfather's side rom Shreveport and my Grandmama from N'awlins, proper
	2:49pm ShelbyG: @dreamy: Hmm. Omaha is a diverse city with surprisingly good music, great food, a world class zoo. It’s a sprawl. It’s wide open. It’s hot af when it’s hot. Cold af when cold. Nebraskans sorta love/hate tornadoes & thunderstorms. Cicadas are super loud in NE. I swear they chirp in cycles of 26, really. The roads are wide & straight. Growing up there, I find the wide open comforting. I think it’s why Nebraskans are so generous with their friendliness. And not all Nebraskans have milked a cow, nor are they uber-religious. It’s beautiful.
	2:49pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: he really does!! i love hearing about family histories and growing up stories
	2:50pm radioronan: Thanks Duane..welcome back!
	2:50pm G: @Duane: So you got both northern LA and southern LA covered, ancestrally lol
	2:51pm Duane: G: Yes indeed:) I got married in New Orleans too!
	2:51pm Duane: I'm actually did an AMA interview for a podcast recently..stay tuned:)
	2:51pm Duane: And What Shelby said..co-sign!
	2:51pm chris in the redwoods: was just in Omaha overnight, on a drive-across-the-continent thang. nice night life, friendly folks. can confirm heat: upper 90s at midnight.
	2:52pm dreamyandseedy: well that settles it! i am visiting nebraska next chance i get. thank you duane and shelbyg for indulging my questions!
	2:52pm chris in the redwoods: *downtown
	2:53pm captain beef fart: awesome show as always! welcome back, Duane.
	2:54pm Little Danny: @dreamy: check Duane's show from the Wednesday after the 2016 election! www.wfmu.org... He talks a bit about his upbringing. Also that particular Duane Train redeemed life that first horrible week, listened to it many times since. Incredible radio.
	2:55pm Rick in Madison: There are times I think I miss NE, but I think it is mostly the friends I had there and that time in my life.
	2:55pm G: @Duane: NO seems to be a great place to get married. I see weddings all the time here.
	2:56pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Duane! Great picks. Nice to meet you, sorta-neighbor 🥳
	2:56pm Duane: Thanks Shelby! Nice to e-meet you too!
	2:57pm briania: I'm sure that a past Train has featured a jam or two from Omaha's funkiest, Lalomie Washburn.
	2:57pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: i will do so, thank you (p.s. i am still making my way through your archive, going from old to new, and it's always a great show!)
	2:57pm Jason from Houston: Many thanks for the sounds today, Duane. Stay safe and sweet out there, good people.
	2:58pm chris in the redwoods: what Jason said :) <3
	2:58pm Passaic River Blues: Loved the show today, Duane. Thanks as always!
	2:59pm ShelbyG: Just saw Chad Sexton with his amazing band at The Jewel.
	2:59pm Duane: Thanks Everyone!! See ya next week and what a warm welcome!!!!!
	2:59pm Little Danny: thank you dreamy!
	2:59pm Krys O.: Oooh! Bright Moments!
	2:59pm Passaic River Blues: @dreamyandseedy: the Cool Blue Flame archives contain wonders upon wonders.
	2:59pm Zetti: Thank you.
	3:00pm Rick in Madison: Thanks for the jams, Duane! See ya next time!

	12:54pm Shri: @serious_cactus what is a voice dumb animal?
	12:58pm Little Danny: This track too. Gorgeous.
	1:00pm RZ: So good
	1:01pm Passaic River Blues: Compost does not fail.
	1:02pm Rick in Madison: Wow!
	1:05pm tim from washington: When you said "the Oregon trail" I was picturing the Train family having a Blazing Saddles adventure.
	1:05pm Marley P. Dogg: Welcome back Duane!!! Hope you had a great vacation!!!!
	1:08pm Rick in Madison: frantically looks for said duet in archives
	1:10pm tim from washington: I remember that duet! It was really touching. I get misty eyed thinking about it. @Rick - I'm thinking Marathon 2012 or 2013.
	1:10pm Rick in Madison: Thanks, Tim!
	1:11pm Si: You can upload and submit tracks via the app? Where?! It's a dream of mine to have something played on WFMU
	1:14pm Duane: you can send it direct to the DJ's through wfmu email, Si
	1:15pm Little Danny: @Si: The app only sends music out to the world. You can always submit tracks to your fave DJs though.
	1:15pm HyperDose: This is the jam!
	1:16pm Mia D: What a great way to honor the Diabolical One!
	1:18pm tim from washington: Yeah, I remember the Duane and Dea Atlantic Starr duet clearly. Duane and Dea improvised the lyrics and shared a lot of love for each other. At that time in my life I was in a crappy relationship, didn't have a good model of healthy family relationships and was drinking way too much. It was touching to hear Duane and Dea share so much love for each other. I'm in a much better space relationship and family wise I still think about that radio moment with fondness.
	1:19pm tim from washington: Biz! I'm sure he's hanging at the Albee Square Mall in the sky.
	1:19pm mmeghan: duane we listen to your show every week in my art studio in detroit!! love your selections so much, i dream of hearing a set live one day!!!
	1:20pm Marie: love this!
	1:20pm Little Danny: Love that, Tim. ❤️
	1:21pm mb: Just realized its Weds. Is Scott Williams up next today or is he also on vaca?
	1:22pm Duane: That's beautiful TIm..So happy you're in a better place now! Thank you Mmeghan..I love Detroit. I play there occasionally, I'll keep you posted if that happens again soon. I believe Scott is in today,mb
	1:23pm tim from washington: Thanks, Little Danny and Duane!
	1:25pm West Coast Ken: Hi Duane! Loved that VAQO song, found it on Apple Music so I’m putting it on repeat after your show. Welcome back, too.
	1:26pm Duane: Awesome West Coast Ken,,that's what it's all about!
	1:29pm briania: Know this as a Leon & Mary Russell song. Nice slow jam cover!
	1:30pm Little Danny: Love this.
	1:30pm Duane: Yes, Briania! Nice (Duane) TrainSpotting:)
	1:33pm Si: Duane, thanks! I'll look for your email and send you something 😊
	1:36pm Rick in Madison: Yes!
	1:37pm dreamyandseedy: i too dream of catching a live duane set (come to texas?) i'd love to visit nyc one day and fulfill my wish. that may be the only way i can see amy douglas live also!
	1:41pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: Yeah, I've played Austin a bunch in the past, so who knows? Amy D. may be in Texas to perform sooner than you think! I think Hard feelings may tour when it's a bit safer..they definitely want to
	1:43pm dreamyandseedy: that would be amazing! i will keep my ear to the ground :)
	1:45pm Little Danny: @dreamy: are you still in the Hill Country?
	1:47pm Rick in Madison: Whoa! This is CRAZY!
	1:49pm Passaic River Blues: "Post" was/is so good, and this reminds there were several excellent "Isobel" remixes/edits in particular.
	1:50pm Rick in Madison: @Passaic - Totally agree.
	1:56pm saasha foo: Great show today!!!! Thank you!!!!!
	1:58pm Duane: Thank you Saasha!
	2:03pm briania: Also love Barrabas!
	2:09pm tim from washington: Just call it "Duane Spotted" - ;)
	2:09pm ShelbyG: Hey all. Back to VT with my pup, my porch, & y’all. Thanks Duane, fantastic set!
	2:09pm Si: Judy Roberts is battling a rare form of blood cancer but donations can be made towards her care on her website
	2:10pm Marie: I love Cal Tjader
	2:12pm briania: @Si, sad news about Judy Roberts, but thanks for the update.
	2:13pm Si: http://www.judyroberts.com
	2:13pm chris in the redwoods: wooo wooo!
	2:13pm tim from washington: Oh hell yeah! Funky Like A Train! Which reminds me that I'm going to dig into the 2021 Duane Train Premium in the car shortly.
	2:13pm ShelbyG: F U N K Y
	2:14pm Little Danny: Yeah!
	2:14pm Cecile: YAY!
	2:14pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	2:14pm Duane: Unofficial theme song!!
	2:16pm Feldpausch: "Everything I do is gonna be funky like a train"
	2:17pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: yes, outside llano texas!
	2:20pm dreamyandseedy: @duane: i seem to remember you have a connection to kansas? i'm so curious about the state and kansas city, i literally know nothing except ancient knowledge about the cattle drives lol, can you tell me something of what it's like there? i know that's a very ambiguous question but i can't frame it any better :)
	2:20pm ShelbyG: @Duane: perfect theme song
	2:23pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: I'm from Nebraska, but I've been to Kansas many times. Kansas City, Mo is very different from Kansas City, KS. though..Missouri is like a southern state in many ways, especially with the music and it's influence on the world (Blues and jazz in St. Louis and KC Jazz and R & B)...Kansas is very Agricultural..Cattle Industrious..Flatter in landscape
	2:24pm ShelbyG: @Duane: I’m from Omaha! Just got back today from a visit out there.
	2:25pm Duane: oh nice ShelbyG!! I was in Lincoln about two weeks ago
	2:26pm tim from washington: I have heard great things about KC MO.
	2:26pm ShelbyG: Duane, you from Lincoln?
	2:27pm ShelbyG: You were there when it was hotter’n hell! It kiiinda cooled down the last few days.
	2:27pm Duane: shelby:I spent 20 years there
	2:28pm Jeff in Brooklyn: WOW! Funky like a train!
	2:28pm ShelbyG: So, where did you grow up as a kid?
	2:28pm tim from washington: I'm out of breath just listening to the Equals.
	2:28pm Yes: jumping onboard. hey yall
	2:29pm saasha foo: My favorite!!!!!!
	2:29pm Duane: ShelbyG: Pretty much there..I spent all my formative pre-teen to early adult years there. I moved to NY in '95. I was born in Queens and raised here for the early party of my life.
	2:31pm dreamyandseedy: now i'm curious about nebraska too, i picture seas of grass waving in the wind when i think of kansas and nebraska... i'm gonna have to do some reading.
	2:32pm Don S: awesome Patrick Cowley track. i DJed last friday and played it too.
	2:32pm tim from washington: Nebraska is one of the 10 states t hat I haven't been to. I really want to see the Platte river.
	2:32pm Mia D: Feeling this spacey jam as I do spreadsheet work! Pew pew!
	2:32pm ShelbyG: Interesting mix, Duane!
	2:33pm Duane: dreamyandseedy: Well I lived in Lincoln, which is a HUGE college town..my upbringing was more "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Back to School". Not so much "My antonia" at all. I didn't meet any farmers until my early 20's..LOL!
	2:34pm Krys O.: @Mia D: Same here!
	2:35pm Steavin Las Vegas: Duane, next time you’re in Lincoln look up Plack Blague! They perform some real wear-your-body-out, dark, leathery dance jams! Leaning toward the gothy/industrial side but fun for all nonetheless!!
	2:36pm Cecile: I like this song as a dirge
	2:36pm Threemoons: This Safety Dance cover is refreshing and unexpected! Also a little bit chopped n screwed!
	2:37pm Duane: stearin: Oh Word??? Sounds fun! Yeah..there's a big Music fest going on in Lincoln in Sept and they have a lot of cool bands coming out..I did more family stuff when I was there, not a lot of live stuff
	2:37pm tim from washington: I got to make like Boogie and boogie. Thanks for the jams, Duane! See you all on the next ride!
	2:37pm Mia D: @threemoons my thoughts exactly.
	2:37pm coolioiglesias: love this Dilla version! makes me think of the Legowelt cover of the Whispers soundcloud.com...
	2:38pm dreamyandseedy: @shelbyg: can you share some Omaha and/or Nebraska impressions?
	2:38pm Krys O.: @Duane: Your comment about farmers made me think of relatives in Eastern Europe who wrote to us here in the States in the 70s asking if 1) the streets were paved with gold 2) Did we see any Native Americans? and 3) Can we send them large quantities of blue jeans. The irony was that we lived in an urban area of Westchester County, NY and were poor ourselves. Best we could do was send hand-me-downs.
	2:38pm ShelbyG: Very cool safety dance 🕺
	2:41pm Jeff in Brooklyn: Duane - thanks for a great set. This time slot is perfectly synced to spread work week joy. We can now start thinking about the weekend!
	2:43pm Little Danny: Really great to have you back, Duane. Superb selectory as always.
	2:43pm ShelbyG: This cover of summer breeze is smooth af!
	2:44pm Krys O.: Nice!
	2:44pm Duane: My pleasure Jeff!
	2:44pm Jason from Houston: Those keyyyyys!!!
	2:46pm Duane: Krys O: I feel ya! It's the same with my Jamaican and Southern side....People automatically think my upbringing would be pretty rough and I admittedly come from a pretty well educated, some would say "well to do" family on both sides. Both sets of grandparents on the Louisiana side and my parents had M.A.'s!! My Jamaican Grandfather was a Clinical Psychologist and my Uncle Derrick was teen idol..LOL!
	2:47pm G: @Duane: Where in LA? I'm in New O.
	2:48pm Little Danny: Duane needs his own AMA
	2:48pm Krys O.: Awesome, Duane! Welcome back and thanks for the fantastic show!
	2:49pm Duane: G: My Grandfather's side rom Shreveport and my Grandmama from N'awlins, proper
	2:49pm ShelbyG: @dreamy: Hmm. Omaha is a diverse city with surprisingly good music, great food, a world class zoo. It’s a sprawl. It’s wide open. It’s hot af when it’s hot. Cold af when cold. Nebraskans sorta love/hate tornadoes & thunderstorms. Cicadas are super loud in NE. I swear they chirp in cycles of 26, really. The roads are wide & straight. Growing up there, I find the wide open comforting. I think it’s why Nebraskans are so generous with their friendliness. And not all Nebraskans have milked a cow, nor are they uber-religious. It’s beautiful.
	2:49pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: he really does!! i love hearing about family histories and growing up stories
	2:50pm radioronan: Thanks Duane..welcome back!
	2:50pm G: @Duane: So you got both northern LA and southern LA covered, ancestrally lol
	2:51pm Duane: G: Yes indeed:) I got married in New Orleans too!
	2:51pm Duane: I'm actually did an AMA interview for a podcast recently..stay tuned:)
	2:51pm Duane: And What Shelby said..co-sign!
	2:51pm chris in the redwoods: was just in Omaha overnight, on a drive-across-the-continent thang. nice night life, friendly folks. can confirm heat: upper 90s at midnight.
	2:52pm dreamyandseedy: well that settles it! i am visiting nebraska next chance i get. thank you duane and shelbyg for indulging my questions!
	2:52pm chris in the redwoods: *downtown
	2:53pm captain beef fart: awesome show as always! welcome back, Duane.
	2:54pm Little Danny: @dreamy: check Duane's show from the Wednesday after the 2016 election! www.wfmu.org... He talks a bit about his upbringing. Also that particular Duane Train redeemed life that first horrible week, listened to it many times since. Incredible radio.
	2:55pm Rick in Madison: There are times I think I miss NE, but I think it is mostly the friends I had there and that time in my life.
	2:55pm G: @Duane: NO seems to be a great place to get married. I see weddings all the time here.
	2:56pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Duane! Great picks. Nice to meet you, sorta-neighbor 🥳
	2:56pm Duane: Thanks Shelby! Nice to e-meet you too!
	2:57pm briania: I'm sure that a past Train has featured a jam or two from Omaha's funkiest, Lalomie Washburn.
	2:57pm dreamyandseedy: @little danny: i will do so, thank you (p.s. i am still making my way through your archive, going from old to new, and it's always a great show!)
	2:57pm Jason from Houston: Many thanks for the sounds today, Duane. Stay safe and sweet out there, good people.
	2:58pm chris in the redwoods: what Jason said :) <3
	2:58pm Passaic River Blues: Loved the show today, Duane. Thanks as always!
	2:59pm ShelbyG: Just saw Chad Sexton with his amazing band at The Jewel.
	2:59pm Duane: Thanks Everyone!! See ya next week and what a warm welcome!!!!!
	2:59pm Little Danny: thank you dreamy!
	2:59pm Krys O.: Oooh! Bright Moments!
	2:59pm Passaic River Blues: @dreamyandseedy: the Cool Blue Flame archives contain wonders upon wonders.
	2:59pm Zetti: Thank you.
	3:00pm Rick in Madison: Thanks for the jams, Duane! See ya next time!
