	🚂 ♥ 11:54am Michael 98145: Well, okay. Oink!
	♥ 11:58am David Dichelle: Early greetings, Michael!
	11:59am βrian: That's not a fertility snout, is it?
	12:00pm βrian: Beautiful ironwork.
	♥ 12:01pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, I'm not familiar with that notion. It is actually part of a larger monument to the card game of Skat.
	12:01pm Sylvia: Hello David and travelers!
	🚂 ♥ 12:01pm Michael 98145: Choog choog
	♥ 12:01pm David Dichelle: Hello Sylvia!
	♥ 12:02pm Brian in UK: Hello David & travellers.
	12:02pm TDK60: Hi David. Hopping on..
	♥ 12:02pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	12:02pm Carmichael: In a meeting ...
	♥ 12:03pm Yvang: Standing clear of the closing door! Hi David and travelers!
	12:03pm βrian: I guess I was reminded of the tomb of Victor Noir in Père-Lachaise.
	♥ 12:03pm David Dichelle: And greetings Brian, TDK60, Chresti, Carmichael in a meeting, Yvang!
	♥ 12:05pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and all the Voyageurs! We're roaming far afield still for one last day.
	♥ 12:05pm Yvang: Nice Ĉuk Ĉuk Ĉuk song!
	♥ 12:05pm Stanley: I've boarded and validated my ticket. Good evening driver.
	♥ 12:06pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Handy - whither dost thou roam?
	♥ 12:06pm David Dichelle: And a fine evening to you, Stanley!
	♥ 12:07pm David Dichelle: Yes, that Ĉuk song is a very train-y track to start the subway. Strange that I never played it before (I think).
	♥ 12:08pm Phillippe: Howdy. Going with Brazil/Brasil again.
	♥ 12:09pm David Dichelle: Hello Phillippe!
	12:09pm still b/p: Was on Boston subways the other day. Though standard for years, the cards for slipping in slot or for pad-waving/touching will forever feel new for me and be regarded tentatively. Stuck in the coin and token age.
	12:10pm TDK60: This Garbanotas. a Turk band? Sound like they're from Oxfordshire.
	♥ 12:11pm David Dichelle: Hey still b/p, it's been so long that I've been on a proper subway that it may as well have been during that era.
	♥ 12:11pm David Dichelle: Both Garbanotas and Makejevas are from Lithuania.
	♥ 12:12pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	♥ 12:12pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Dr. J.!
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: We're in Down East Maine, David. Last day here and then back in the car tomorrow to head home. We had just put our boots on to walk about a bit when the rain picked back up. Guess we'll settle back in for the Subway.
	12:12pm Carmichael: OK, out of meeting and ready to Roud! I also choose Luxembourg.
	♥ 12:13pm David Dichelle: Maine must be lovely this time of year.
	12:13pm Kpx: Hey, hi, and hello DD and Continental Subway passengers of the audio kind.
	12:13pm TDK60: Thanks David; I can never figure those Baltic tongues.
	♥ 12:14pm David Dichelle: Hello, hello, Kpx!
	12:14pm headcleaner: You mean the City Tunnel doesn't quite cut it for you, David?
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: My Random Road Random Guess: Nicaragua! It's been pretty great, David. We rented a canoe and have been out on the water every day. Rain today, but that;s alright. It sounds great, and we can watch the cove from here.
	♥ 12:15pm David Dichelle: Hey there Headcleaner, that was indeed the reason for the word "proper".
	12:15pm Marie: Onboard from the beginning and happy to be here. Hi David, hi everybody! My guesses are Poland and Slovakia (eastern europe today).
	12:18pm TDK60: With anxiousness, I wait to see if the Roud smash hit has 1, 2, 3 or more names...
	12:20pm still b/p: Being on a Maine lake in a canoe at sunset with bare feet up on the thwart and a nice beer in hand...is a pretty perfect moment.
	♥ 12:21pm Handy Haversack: Word, still b/p. Hard to beat it.
	🚂 ♥ 12:22pm chris in the redwoods: well hello, David and everyone. hope you are all well. nicely done, Handy!
	♥ 12:22pm David Dichelle: Welcome, Marie and Chris!
	♥ 12:25pm Brian in UK: There are few things better than a big chunk of homemade Rocky Road. Shall I pass it around?
	♥ 12:26pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Brian, who could say no?
	♥ 12:27pm Handy Haversack: frinkiac.com...
	12:28pm βrian: Had to look up Rocky Road. I'm not a big marshmallow fan, but Little Human would gobble it up.
	♥ 12:30pm Brian in UK: The softness of the marshmallow aligned to the crunch of nuts and the richness of the chocolate covers most bases.
	12:31pm TDK60: I'm sticking with Suriname, but now that we get multiple choices [?], I also choose Kernow (Cornwall).
	♥ 12:34pm David Dichelle: Thanks, TDK, Cornwall is not on the list, alas, but is a great idea for a place to go more often on the show.
	♥ 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Afternoon.
	♥ 12:34pm David Dichelle: And a very good afternoon to you, RRN!
	12:35pm βrian: Georgia / Angola
	♥ 12:36pm Brian in UK: TDK60, if you want something Cornish you might like this. www.gwenno.info... Talking of which, our daughter and five others are swimming from Penzance to the Scilly Isles next week in a relay. No wet suits either.
	♥ 12:37pm David Dichelle: Yikes, Brian, those waters are surely cold.
	12:37pm βrian: By all means, watch for pirates.
	♥ 12:38pm Brian in UK: David, she assures me that it is the warmest time of year!! It is sponsored to raise money for the Lifeboats.
	♥ 12:39pm David Dichelle: I suppose after the summer months it might be warmer. I do remember once dipping carefully into those same waters years ago and it was summer and cold!
	♥ 12:39pm David Dichelle: Well it was further east, maybe colder there?
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Wow, Brian, that's impressive! Water temp here still up around 60F, which was warmer than I expected.
	12:41pm βrian: Google maps does not offer a swimming option for directions, sadly.
	♥ 12:42pm Brian in UK: Their window is from Midnight next Tuesday to Saturday.
	12:44pm Will in Norman: are you gonna do led zeppelin's version?
	♥ 12:44pm Brian in UK: Here is the justgiving page. Just saying. justgiving.com...
	12:46pm still b/p: Long damn swim! Especially from Penzance and not from westmost tip. Also very important but irrelevant to note that map shows a place in the region called Mousehole!
	♥ 12:47pm Brian in UK: It is pronounced Mowzull.
	♥ 12:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings David and subterranean Freedom Riders
	♥ 12:48pm Brian in UK: David, is Mesapotamia on the list?
	♥ 12:49pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel!
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela!
	♥ 12:49pm David Dichelle: And welcome most astute Will!
	12:49pm still b/p: Well, that pronunciation droops the whiskers a bit.
	♥ 12:50pm coelacanth∅: Leadbelly did this several times and changed the ending a few times. he got lucky at least once.
	♥ 12:50pm chresti: Paraguay Haha still b/p.
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: I hope to get to that part of the UK someday. Probably not by swimming, though. But who knows -- global warming makes many things possible!
	♥ 12:50pm David Dichelle: Brian: Yes, although as Iraq.
	♥ 12:51pm David Dichelle: Coel: Also very astute!
	♥ 12:51pm coelacanth∅: hej Handy!
	12:52pm TDK60: David at 12:e4 Yeah, I know, not real ISO code choices! I'm trying to be pre- and post- nation-state. Hee. \| @12:36- Brian! Thanks, have heard Gwenno, been to Penzance; also St. Ives, seen those Scillys. Yikes, how far is that swim?
	♥ 12:53pm Handy Haversack: 28 miles!
	♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: It is 28 miles.
	12:53pm TDK60: Yikesx5!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, you could really hedge your bet by guessing Pangaea or Gondwanaland!
	12:56pm ChukAmok: Är vi i Sverige nu? Mycketbra!
	♥ 12:56pm Brian in UK: Does Lilliput have a music scene?
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Just a little one, Brian. ChukAmok!
	12:56pm TDK60: Heya up there, Handy; go big! I even looked around the St. Ives library, found some children's Cornish education texts. Heard some folks on the street speaking a Celt tongue, might ben Cornish, probably Welsh or Breton.
	♥ 12:57pm coelacanth∅: my not so random road leads to somalia.
	12:58pm ChukAmok: Hej Hej Handy!
	♥ 12:58pm David Dichelle: We are indeed, Chuk, and off to Hungary and Finland next...
	♥ 1:01pm Brian in UK: Great voice.
	♥ 1:02pm Doug Schulkind: Hëllò, Đåvîd!
	♥ 1:04pm David Dichelle: That is the correct spelling, Doug!
	♥ 1:07pm David Dichelle: I may have it officially changed at some point.
	1:15pm TDK60: Mr. Ledbetter, Ouch, I couldn't do that on a 6-string let alone 12-string.
	1:16pm Marie: I'm super busy at work but wanted to jump in to say that I love Led Zeppelin's version of this @)
	♥ 1:16pm coelacanth∅: Odetta! - spoiler: she gets saved!
	1:17pm TDK60: Just finished an Odetta biography. This album is a studio recording. Mgr. Albert Grossman put his club name on it. (Ahem..)
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: what a voice
	1:19pm still b/p: Had a little rabbit hole excursion a couple weeks ago into discussions of live or location albums that really ain't, or nearly ain't, or have been messed with beyond the point where a location or "live" description should be stripped from the project.
	1:19pm TDK60: Yes, Coel! I got to see her once, spellbinding it was. Also got to chat a moment, shared a swig of whiskey!
	1:20pm Will in Norman: @TDK I always forget how skilled of a guitarist Lead Belly was
	♥ 1:21pm Stanley: I saw Odetta in concert many moons ago. Supported by James Blood Ulmer. Great gig.
	1:21pm TDK60: Wow Stanley, good double bill.
	♥ 1:22pm David Dichelle: Yes, wow.
	♥ 1:22pm Stanley: TDK - Small arts venue, early finish. Just my kind of gig.
	♥ 1:23pm coelacanth∅: holy crap TDK! -i'm envious
	♥ 1:24pm coelacanth∅: (also envious of Stanley)
	♥ 1:26pm Stanley: still b/p - The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies remains one of my favourites.
	♥ 1:26pm coelacanth∅: ...and, like probably most americans who are still alive, my first
	1:26pm TDK60: Coel, It was at a small festival in West Virginia. Odetta was walking by and I had a bottle of spirit. I was wild then.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: sweet... she might've been a little wild too!
	♥ 1:30pm Yvang: I'll put this set in Pole Position!
	♥ 1:32pm coelacanth∅: i thought you wouldn't play it!
	♥ 1:36pm David Dichelle: Coel: Couldn't leave it out - and a wonderful and different version of the folk song at that.
	♥ 1:39pm coelacanth∅: it's a great version. i just thought you might not have the time. i love the banjo
	1:42pm Will in Norman: i always thought it was a mandolin, not a banjo
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: Will, you heard that right. It is John Paul Jones on mandolin and Jimmy Page on banjo.
	1:45pm TDK60: Was this the Roudiest you've gotten today, David?
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: TDK: I think that was indeed a new record.
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Roudy Roudy Piper.
	1:55pm Will in Norman: thanks to WFMU's own DJ Stashu I know what Jeszcze Raz means
	♥ 1:57pm chresti: Enjoyed the Roudiness, David, thanks!
	♥ 1:57pm Handy Haversack: Not Nicaragua then. But oooooooo, Niger! Bring on the guitars!
	♥ 1:58pm Handy Haversack: Also, for what it's worth, it looked like there were still tix available for Mdou Moctor in Brooklyn tomorrow night!
	1:59pm Will in Norman: "a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot" - Max Weinreich
	1:59pm still b/p: For more confusion..what is a person from Niger called?
	♥ 2:00pm David Dichelle: Chresti: My great pleasure!
	♥ 2:00pm Handy Haversack: still b/p: "Nigerien," apparently.
	♥ 2:00pm David Dichelle: Will, that is the classic quote on the matter - and in the original!
	2:00pm TDK60: Oh, it's ISO 3166-2:NE. Wonderful!
	♥ 2:01pm David Dichelle: Handy, that's right, just have to give it a French twist to differentiate, I suppose.
	♥ 2:02pm Bas NL: Hello David! Peoples of the good Earth! Niger.. nice!
	2:02pm βrian: Back from the grocery store, only to find myself in Niger.
	♥ 2:03pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Bas!
	♥ 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the tub & not chatting ...but listening & appreciating as ever...
	♥ 2:06pm David Dichelle: Thanks, RRN!
	2:06pm still b/p: Contentinental Tubway?
	♥ 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Aïr was a 500-year sultanate that Niger was part of, it seems.
	🚂 ♥ 2:07pm Michael 98145: We used to receive personal messages from a "Nigerian prince"
	♥ 2:07pm David Dichelle: Yes, and there is now a Aïr and Ténéré National Nature Reserve.
	♥ 2:11pm Bas NL: Little Tuareg shining here.. great, this Surbajo!
	🚂 ♥ 2:11pm Michael 98145: Love this group
	♥ 2:11pm David Dichelle: Yes, lots of Tuareg/Tamasheq in the mix.
	2:16pm βrian: Somedays it's salsa, some days harissa.
	2:18pm TDK60: Beckoning music for sure. I should dance..
	♥ 2:20pm Bas NL: Bombino! Yeay!
	♥ 2:20pm chresti: Michael 98145, you too?
	🚂 ♥ 2:21pm Michael 98145: yup
	♥ 2:22pm Stanley: I love the music of the Sahel from Senegal to Ethiopia and these picks from Niger are filling that bit of space in my musical knowledge. Good work, David.
	♥ 2:23pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm Michael 98145: I will be happy when i am brave enough to see live music again ...
	♥ 2:25pm Bas NL: Me's moving now!
	♥ 2:26pm Bas NL: Had my first concert yesterday! A good evening!
	2:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:28pm TDK60: Been to two outdoor concerts, no inside yet..
	♥ 2:28pm Yvang: From cellphones? in Sahara? interesting!
	♥ 2:28pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	♥ 2:28pm Bas NL: Music from Saharan Cellphones. (You beat me to it, Yvang :) )
	2:29pm Will in Norman: indeed it is interesting, it's a compilation series i highly recommend
	♥ 2:29pm David Dichelle: Yes, the idea is that people in the region stored their music on their cellphones at the time, and possibly/probably still do.
	🚂 ♥ 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: yes, banking/money exchange and music sharing via cell in many parts of Africa. i think it was DJ Rupture who introduced me to this, some years ago. this is truly a wonderful random road to find ourselves on. thanks for being a gracious guide, David! :)
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: most enjoyable
	♥ 2:32pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Chris, it is always my pleasure!
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up live at 3pm - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/107631
	♥ 2:38pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, David. Have to grab a shower and start prepping here. Great stuff. Keep faring forward, Voyageurs!
	2:38pm Marie: Thoroughly enjoying the show today, David--thanks!
	♥ 2:39pm David Dichelle: Thank you, Marie, Handy, Michael!
	♥ 2:40pm Stanley: I love this music that sounds like it has been recorded outside. See you Handy. Safe journey home.
	♥ 2:41pm chresti: Happy travels Handy!
	♥ 2:45pm coelacanth∅: Happy motoring Handy
	🚂 ♥ 2:45pm Michael 98145: stay safe, friends
	🚂 ♥ 2:46pm chris in the redwoods: watch out for the crazies, Handy! i guess that goes for all of us, as well, come to think...
	2:48pm Will in Norman: I was wondering if you were gonna play any mdou moctar! I saw him live a few years ago. In Bloomington, Indiana of all places
	🚂 ♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: AH!
	🚂 ♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: classic

	2:50pm Carmichael: MDOU!
	2:51pm Will in Norman: he's one of my favorite guitarists
	2:51pm TDK60: Yes, I saw DJ Clay Pigeon bopping to this, carrying a boom box down Fifth Ave.
	♥ 2:52pm Stanley: I thought this is a rocker....then I looked. Mdou.
	♥ 2:52pm Bas NL: Got my concert ticket to Mdou Moctar for April next year!

	♥ 12:01pm David Dichelle: Hey βrian, I'm not familiar with that notion. It is actually part of a larger monument to the card game of Skat.
	12:01pm Sylvia: Hello David and travelers!
	🚂 ♥ 12:01pm Michael 98145: Choog choog
	♥ 12:01pm David Dichelle: Hello Sylvia!
	♥ 12:02pm Brian in UK: Hello David & travellers.
	12:02pm TDK60: Hi David. Hopping on..
	♥ 12:02pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	12:02pm Carmichael: In a meeting ...
	♥ 12:03pm Yvang: Standing clear of the closing door! Hi David and travelers!
	12:03pm βrian: I guess I was reminded of the tomb of Victor Noir in Père-Lachaise.
	♥ 12:03pm David Dichelle: And greetings Brian, TDK60, Chresti, Carmichael in a meeting, Yvang!
	♥ 12:05pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and all the Voyageurs! We're roaming far afield still for one last day.
	♥ 12:05pm Yvang: Nice Ĉuk Ĉuk Ĉuk song!
	♥ 12:05pm Stanley: I've boarded and validated my ticket. Good evening driver.
	♥ 12:06pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Handy - whither dost thou roam?
	♥ 12:06pm David Dichelle: And a fine evening to you, Stanley!
	♥ 12:07pm David Dichelle: Yes, that Ĉuk song is a very train-y track to start the subway. Strange that I never played it before (I think).
	♥ 12:08pm Phillippe: Howdy. Going with Brazil/Brasil again.
	♥ 12:09pm David Dichelle: Hello Phillippe!
	12:09pm still b/p: Was on Boston subways the other day. Though standard for years, the cards for slipping in slot or for pad-waving/touching will forever feel new for me and be regarded tentatively. Stuck in the coin and token age.
	12:10pm TDK60: This Garbanotas. a Turk band? Sound like they're from Oxfordshire.
	♥ 12:11pm David Dichelle: Hey still b/p, it's been so long that I've been on a proper subway that it may as well have been during that era.
	♥ 12:11pm David Dichelle: Both Garbanotas and Makejevas are from Lithuania.
	♥ 12:12pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	♥ 12:12pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Dr. J.!
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: We're in Down East Maine, David. Last day here and then back in the car tomorrow to head home. We had just put our boots on to walk about a bit when the rain picked back up. Guess we'll settle back in for the Subway.
	12:12pm Carmichael: OK, out of meeting and ready to Roud! I also choose Luxembourg.
	♥ 12:13pm David Dichelle: Maine must be lovely this time of year.
	12:13pm Kpx: Hey, hi, and hello DD and Continental Subway passengers of the audio kind.
	12:13pm TDK60: Thanks David; I can never figure those Baltic tongues.
	♥ 12:14pm David Dichelle: Hello, hello, Kpx!
	12:14pm headcleaner: You mean the City Tunnel doesn't quite cut it for you, David?
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: My Random Road Random Guess: Nicaragua! It's been pretty great, David. We rented a canoe and have been out on the water every day. Rain today, but that;s alright. It sounds great, and we can watch the cove from here.
	♥ 12:15pm David Dichelle: Hey there Headcleaner, that was indeed the reason for the word "proper".
	12:15pm Marie: Onboard from the beginning and happy to be here. Hi David, hi everybody! My guesses are Poland and Slovakia (eastern europe today).
	12:18pm TDK60: With anxiousness, I wait to see if the Roud smash hit has 1, 2, 3 or more names...
	12:20pm still b/p: Being on a Maine lake in a canoe at sunset with bare feet up on the thwart and a nice beer in hand...is a pretty perfect moment.
	♥ 12:21pm Handy Haversack: Word, still b/p. Hard to beat it.
	🚂 ♥ 12:22pm chris in the redwoods: well hello, David and everyone. hope you are all well. nicely done, Handy!
	♥ 12:22pm David Dichelle: Welcome, Marie and Chris!
	♥ 12:25pm Brian in UK: There are few things better than a big chunk of homemade Rocky Road. Shall I pass it around?
	♥ 12:26pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Brian, who could say no?
	♥ 12:27pm Handy Haversack: frinkiac.com...
	12:28pm βrian: Had to look up Rocky Road. I'm not a big marshmallow fan, but Little Human would gobble it up.
	♥ 12:30pm Brian in UK: The softness of the marshmallow aligned to the crunch of nuts and the richness of the chocolate covers most bases.
	12:31pm TDK60: I'm sticking with Suriname, but now that we get multiple choices [?], I also choose Kernow (Cornwall).
	♥ 12:34pm David Dichelle: Thanks, TDK, Cornwall is not on the list, alas, but is a great idea for a place to go more often on the show.
	♥ 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Afternoon.
	♥ 12:34pm David Dichelle: And a very good afternoon to you, RRN!
	12:35pm βrian: Georgia / Angola
	♥ 12:36pm Brian in UK: TDK60, if you want something Cornish you might like this. www.gwenno.info... Talking of which, our daughter and five others are swimming from Penzance to the Scilly Isles next week in a relay. No wet suits either.
	♥ 12:37pm David Dichelle: Yikes, Brian, those waters are surely cold.
	12:37pm βrian: By all means, watch for pirates.
	♥ 12:38pm Brian in UK: David, she assures me that it is the warmest time of year!! It is sponsored to raise money for the Lifeboats.
	♥ 12:39pm David Dichelle: I suppose after the summer months it might be warmer. I do remember once dipping carefully into those same waters years ago and it was summer and cold!
	♥ 12:39pm David Dichelle: Well it was further east, maybe colder there?
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Wow, Brian, that's impressive! Water temp here still up around 60F, which was warmer than I expected.
	12:41pm βrian: Google maps does not offer a swimming option for directions, sadly.
	♥ 12:42pm Brian in UK: Their window is from Midnight next Tuesday to Saturday.
	12:44pm Will in Norman: are you gonna do led zeppelin's version?
	♥ 12:44pm Brian in UK: Here is the justgiving page. Just saying. justgiving.com...
	12:46pm still b/p: Long damn swim! Especially from Penzance and not from westmost tip. Also very important but irrelevant to note that map shows a place in the region called Mousehole!
	♥ 12:47pm Brian in UK: It is pronounced Mowzull.
	♥ 12:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings David and subterranean Freedom Riders
	♥ 12:48pm Brian in UK: David, is Mesapotamia on the list?
	♥ 12:49pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel!
	♥ 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela!
	♥ 12:49pm David Dichelle: And welcome most astute Will!
	12:49pm still b/p: Well, that pronunciation droops the whiskers a bit.
	♥ 12:50pm coelacanth∅: Leadbelly did this several times and changed the ending a few times. he got lucky at least once.
	♥ 12:50pm chresti: Paraguay Haha still b/p.
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: I hope to get to that part of the UK someday. Probably not by swimming, though. But who knows -- global warming makes many things possible!
	♥ 12:50pm David Dichelle: Brian: Yes, although as Iraq.
	♥ 12:51pm David Dichelle: Coel: Also very astute!
	♥ 12:51pm coelacanth∅: hej Handy!
	12:52pm TDK60: David at 12:e4 Yeah, I know, not real ISO code choices! I'm trying to be pre- and post- nation-state. Hee. \| @12:36- Brian! Thanks, have heard Gwenno, been to Penzance; also St. Ives, seen those Scillys. Yikes, how far is that swim?
	♥ 12:53pm Handy Haversack: 28 miles!
	♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: It is 28 miles.
	12:53pm TDK60: Yikesx5!
	♥ 12:55pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, you could really hedge your bet by guessing Pangaea or Gondwanaland!
	12:56pm ChukAmok: Är vi i Sverige nu? Mycketbra!
	♥ 12:56pm Brian in UK: Does Lilliput have a music scene?
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: Just a little one, Brian. ChukAmok!
	12:56pm TDK60: Heya up there, Handy; go big! I even looked around the St. Ives library, found some children's Cornish education texts. Heard some folks on the street speaking a Celt tongue, might ben Cornish, probably Welsh or Breton.
	♥ 12:57pm coelacanth∅: my not so random road leads to somalia.
	12:58pm ChukAmok: Hej Hej Handy!
	♥ 12:58pm David Dichelle: We are indeed, Chuk, and off to Hungary and Finland next...
	♥ 1:01pm Brian in UK: Great voice.
	♥ 1:02pm Doug Schulkind: Hëllò, Đåvîd!
	♥ 1:04pm David Dichelle: That is the correct spelling, Doug!
	♥ 1:07pm David Dichelle: I may have it officially changed at some point.
	1:15pm TDK60: Mr. Ledbetter, Ouch, I couldn't do that on a 6-string let alone 12-string.
	1:16pm Marie: I'm super busy at work but wanted to jump in to say that I love Led Zeppelin's version of this @)
	♥ 1:16pm coelacanth∅: Odetta! - spoiler: she gets saved!
	1:17pm TDK60: Just finished an Odetta biography. This album is a studio recording. Mgr. Albert Grossman put his club name on it. (Ahem..)
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: what a voice
	1:19pm still b/p: Had a little rabbit hole excursion a couple weeks ago into discussions of live or location albums that really ain't, or nearly ain't, or have been messed with beyond the point where a location or "live" description should be stripped from the project.
	1:19pm TDK60: Yes, Coel! I got to see her once, spellbinding it was. Also got to chat a moment, shared a swig of whiskey!
	1:20pm Will in Norman: @TDK I always forget how skilled of a guitarist Lead Belly was
	♥ 1:21pm Stanley: I saw Odetta in concert many moons ago. Supported by James Blood Ulmer. Great gig.
	1:21pm TDK60: Wow Stanley, good double bill.
	♥ 1:22pm David Dichelle: Yes, wow.
	♥ 1:22pm Stanley: TDK - Small arts venue, early finish. Just my kind of gig.
	♥ 1:23pm coelacanth∅: holy crap TDK! -i'm envious
	♥ 1:24pm coelacanth∅: (also envious of Stanley)
	♥ 1:26pm Stanley: still b/p - The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies remains one of my favourites.
	♥ 1:26pm coelacanth∅: ...and, like probably most americans who are still alive, my first
	1:26pm TDK60: Coel, It was at a small festival in West Virginia. Odetta was walking by and I had a bottle of spirit. I was wild then.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: sweet... she might've been a little wild too!
	♥ 1:30pm Yvang: I'll put this set in Pole Position!
	♥ 1:32pm coelacanth∅: i thought you wouldn't play it!
	♥ 1:36pm David Dichelle: Coel: Couldn't leave it out - and a wonderful and different version of the folk song at that.
	♥ 1:39pm coelacanth∅: it's a great version. i just thought you might not have the time. i love the banjo
	1:42pm Will in Norman: i always thought it was a mandolin, not a banjo
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: Will, you heard that right. It is John Paul Jones on mandolin and Jimmy Page on banjo.
	1:45pm TDK60: Was this the Roudiest you've gotten today, David?
	♥ 1:45pm David Dichelle: TDK: I think that was indeed a new record.
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Roudy Roudy Piper.
	1:55pm Will in Norman: thanks to WFMU's own DJ Stashu I know what Jeszcze Raz means
	♥ 1:57pm chresti: Enjoyed the Roudiness, David, thanks!
	♥ 1:57pm Handy Haversack: Not Nicaragua then. But oooooooo, Niger! Bring on the guitars!
	♥ 1:58pm Handy Haversack: Also, for what it's worth, it looked like there were still tix available for Mdou Moctor in Brooklyn tomorrow night!
	1:59pm Will in Norman: "a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot" - Max Weinreich
	1:59pm still b/p: For more confusion..what is a person from Niger called?
	♥ 2:00pm David Dichelle: Chresti: My great pleasure!
	♥ 2:00pm Handy Haversack: still b/p: "Nigerien," apparently.
	♥ 2:00pm David Dichelle: Will, that is the classic quote on the matter - and in the original!
	2:00pm TDK60: Oh, it's ISO 3166-2:NE. Wonderful!
	♥ 2:01pm David Dichelle: Handy, that's right, just have to give it a French twist to differentiate, I suppose.
	♥ 2:02pm Bas NL: Hello David! Peoples of the good Earth! Niger.. nice!
	2:02pm βrian: Back from the grocery store, only to find myself in Niger.
	♥ 2:03pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Bas!
	♥ 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the tub & not chatting ...but listening & appreciating as ever...
	♥ 2:06pm David Dichelle: Thanks, RRN!
	2:06pm still b/p: Contentinental Tubway?
	♥ 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Aïr was a 500-year sultanate that Niger was part of, it seems.
	🚂 ♥ 2:07pm Michael 98145: We used to receive personal messages from a "Nigerian prince"
	♥ 2:07pm David Dichelle: Yes, and there is now a Aïr and Ténéré National Nature Reserve.
	♥ 2:11pm Bas NL: Little Tuareg shining here.. great, this Surbajo!
	🚂 ♥ 2:11pm Michael 98145: Love this group
	♥ 2:11pm David Dichelle: Yes, lots of Tuareg/Tamasheq in the mix.
	2:16pm βrian: Somedays it's salsa, some days harissa.
	2:18pm TDK60: Beckoning music for sure. I should dance..
	♥ 2:20pm Bas NL: Bombino! Yeay!
	♥ 2:20pm chresti: Michael 98145, you too?
	🚂 ♥ 2:21pm Michael 98145: yup
	♥ 2:22pm Stanley: I love the music of the Sahel from Senegal to Ethiopia and these picks from Niger are filling that bit of space in my musical knowledge. Good work, David.
	♥ 2:23pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 ♥ 2:24pm Michael 98145: I will be happy when i am brave enough to see live music again ...
	♥ 2:25pm Bas NL: Me's moving now!
	♥ 2:26pm Bas NL: Had my first concert yesterday! A good evening!
	2:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:28pm TDK60: Been to two outdoor concerts, no inside yet..
	♥ 2:28pm Yvang: From cellphones? in Sahara? interesting!
	♥ 2:28pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	♥ 2:28pm Bas NL: Music from Saharan Cellphones. (You beat me to it, Yvang :) )
	2:29pm Will in Norman: indeed it is interesting, it's a compilation series i highly recommend
	♥ 2:29pm David Dichelle: Yes, the idea is that people in the region stored their music on their cellphones at the time, and possibly/probably still do.
	🚂 ♥ 2:31pm chris in the redwoods: yes, banking/money exchange and music sharing via cell in many parts of Africa. i think it was DJ Rupture who introduced me to this, some years ago. this is truly a wonderful random road to find ourselves on. thanks for being a gracious guide, David! :)
	🚂 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: most enjoyable
	♥ 2:32pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Chris, it is always my pleasure!
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up live at 3pm - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/107631
	♥ 2:38pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, David. Have to grab a shower and start prepping here. Great stuff. Keep faring forward, Voyageurs!
	2:38pm Marie: Thoroughly enjoying the show today, David--thanks!
	♥ 2:39pm David Dichelle: Thank you, Marie, Handy, Michael!
	♥ 2:40pm Stanley: I love this music that sounds like it has been recorded outside. See you Handy. Safe journey home.
	♥ 2:41pm chresti: Happy travels Handy!
	♥ 2:45pm coelacanth∅: Happy motoring Handy
	🚂 ♥ 2:45pm Michael 98145: stay safe, friends
	🚂 ♥ 2:46pm chris in the redwoods: watch out for the crazies, Handy! i guess that goes for all of us, as well, come to think...
	2:48pm Will in Norman: I was wondering if you were gonna play any mdou moctar! I saw him live a few years ago. In Bloomington, Indiana of all places
	🚂 ♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: AH!
	🚂 ♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: classic
	♥ 2:49pm David Dichelle: Yes, saving this all-time WFMU favorite for last.

	🚂 ♥ 2:50pm chris in the redwoods: tis a jam, this.
	2:50pm Carmichael: MDOU!
	2:51pm Will in Norman: he's one of my favorite guitarists
	2:51pm TDK60: Yes, I saw DJ Clay Pigeon bopping to this, carrying a boom box down Fifth Ave.
	♥ 2:52pm Stanley: I thought this is a rocker....then I looked. Mdou.
	♥ 2:52pm Bas NL: Got my concert ticket to Mdou Moctar for April next year!
	♥ 2:53pm David Dichelle: Bas: Nice - have to check those tour dates then myself.
	♥ 2:53pm Stanley: Thou art one Lucky Dog, Bas.
	♥ 2:53pm Yvang: Guitar Hero!
