	♥ 9:01am listener james from westwood: Howdy, Jeff and all! Lovely autumn Sundays to those in the NYC/NJ area!
	♥ 9:01am Jeff Golick: Ooobie doobie! Hey, @Dave in Vermont, @Andrew in Toronto! @holland oats! @DJpeterDE! @hyde! A murderers row of listeners.
	♥ 9:02am Jeff Golick: And batting cleanup, @listener james from westwood!
	♥ 9:02am fred: Good morning Jeff and all
	♥ 9:02am Dave in Vermont: oh my, there was just a car alarm going off perfectly matched to the music; it's gonna be a good day

	9:04am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Jeff and all!
	♥ 9:07am Jeff Golick: Yo, @TDK60! Yo, @bigplanetnoise!
	9:08am DJpeterDE: This song is a good example of how the jazz people altered the melody and passed it down that way. The last held nite of the bridge is typically held without resolving down (see Frank just did it the new way)
	9:08am DJpeterDE: Note!!! Not nite
	9:08am TDK60: My parents had this Sinatra LP.
	9:10am Listener Gregory: Who is this, and what have you done with Jeff?
	9:14am Listener Gregory: This is just a passing fancy and in time may go.
	9:15am hyde: "I've found more clouds of grey/Than any Russian play could guarantee". now that's lyric writin'. (I know it's not Ira's bday)
	♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind: Hello, handsome people! Keep your noses open for news of a NEW SHOW on the Drummer Stream.
	♥ 9:19am Jeff Golick: S'Wonderful, @Doug! @Listener Gregory, I'm here, it's just that these aren't my usual glasses, nose, and mustache.
	♥ 9:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...about as great as the Great American Songbook can get - a fusion of Roots Musics & Jazz & Classical & Theater & even EastEuropean Folk influences that could only have come from Gershwin in NYC USA in that specific time & no other - & still challenging to classify defintively. All of which you knew by the time you could hear Music & understand it @ all.
	9:22am hyde: i was just watching Shall We Dance on TCM recently. It's got Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore in it.
	9:22am Stork: Gorgeous George, Jeff! YOur mom must be smilin'!
	9:24am Stork: @hyde: LOVE LOVE Edward Everett Horton! The voice of early morning cartoons - "Fractured Fairy Tales" - back in the day.
	♥ 9:25am Jeff Golick: Well said, @Revolution Rabbit Nov63! Welcome.
	♥ 9:26am Jeff Golick: @Stork! Thanks for hipping me to all the cool birthdays.
	9:26am hyde: @Stork he's the best. Always a plus when he shows up in a screwball comedy
	9:26am Stork: Wow- haven't heard this Lee/Blake rekkid!
	9:28am Stork: A master of the double-take, hyde. "Well, yes - why, no!!"
	9:29am KtrsBklyn: WeregoingtotakethebeginningofDOradio and do it nice… and easy …thenweregoingtotakethefinish of DO radio and do it nice and OUT
	♥ 9:31am Jeff Golick: You got it, @KtrsBklyn!
	9:42am hyde: for once I've got DO cranked up on a Sunday morning and don't fear I'm tormenting the neighbors
	♥ 9:43am Jeff Golick: We'll see what we can do about that, @hyde...
	9:44am hyde: @JG that's fine. i have to listen to their barking dog, they can take a little atonal screeching
	9:45am Listener Gregory: Is this the only Ornette recording of a standard? (NB: I do not call "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" a standard.)
	♥ 9:48am Jeff Golick: That's a good question, @LG. I turn to @DJpeterDE, if he's still out there?
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: Ornette! Cool! Will be heading for Park Slope in a bit, listen at the source (daughter's looking at an apartment there).
	9:49am hyde: @LG the internets says that "Chippie" from Something Else! is a take on "I Got Rhytm"
	9:53am Stork: Heavenly bass!
	♥ 9:54am doctorjazz: Bass is the Place (as I always say)!
	♥ 9:54am Jeff Golick: Hey, @doctorjazz! Wave as you go by!
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: Ornette recorded Irving Berlin's chestnut "How Deep Is the Ocean" in 1958. Interestingly, he doesn't solo on it (other than a brief cadenza).
	♥ 9:56am Jeff Golick: Is that with Paul Bley, @Doug?
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Yes. That was the other unusual thing. Ornette with piano!
	9:58am Listener Gregory: I think that an album of Ornette doing standards might have approached the popularity of the John Coltrane Standards record.
	9:59am DJpeterDE: @stork: that Lee-Blake is a cult classic. Certainly not everyone has heard it but everyone who hears it says : what? Whoa!
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: Only good things happen when people step out of old patterns and pathways of preconception and expectation. Braxton has embraced the standards off and on throughout his career to unforgettable effect.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06am DJpeterDE: The Billie Holiday was live, right? That would make it from her 1937 "Savoy" aircheck with Count Basie, a great date.
	10:06am Listener Gregory: Gosh, are there enough Gershwin tunes to fill out a whole show???
	10:06am TDK60: Yeah, MJQ & Giuffre hanging in the Berkshire hills.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06am DJpeterDE: @LG no i think we've heard all 12 of them. ;-)
	10:08am David in London: It’s always foggy here.
	♥ 10:10am doctorjazz: Had to check who that pianist was...SUN RA! Love this take on the tune!
	♥ 10:11am Jeff Golick: @David in London. I'm glad to hear that.
	10:12am DJpeterDE: Dang Bang really was channeling Stuff Smith there
	10:12am Listener Gregory: I got into a disagreement with a Londoner who claimed that the whole London fog thing was a complete myth. She did not seem to buy that it was largely caused by pollution from household coal fires (plus the natural dampness of the city), which it was.
	♥ 10:14am Jeff Golick: Thanks for the Billie intel, @DJpeterDE! I'm horrifyingly ignorant of much of her oeuvre.
	10:14am TDK60: Anyone know? Was Music Inn on the same site as Tanglewood, or down the road apiece?
	10:15am Stork: Woser, RRK.
	10:16am David in London: Jeff, it hasn’t actually been foggy here for donkeys years. My dad remembered the ‘pea soupers’ of the early 50s though. Once the bus he was on had to stop at Manor Park because it just couldn’t go any further. He got out and he said it was like standing in pure white, you just couldn’t see anything. By an amazing stroke of luck, there was a blind man on the bus, and he lead my dad home.
	♥ 10:17am Jeff Golick: @David, that is amazing!
	♥ 10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Requesting 'Summertime' by TheBuckinghams ...but Miles will do :) ...heck play the whole album...
	♥ 10:18am doctorjazz: David inn London, amazing tale!
	10:19am DJpeterDE: You could do this entire show just drawing on Porgy & Bess records from 1958-1960
	♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - when we're all sightless, the 'blind' are @ an advantage.
	10:20am DJpeterDE: According to Mad Men's Lane Price character, the fog was actually Dickens-era industrial pollutants
	10:21am Listener Gregory: One of my favorite Gershwin songs is "They All Laughed," but it's primarily because of the lyrics. Not too many jazz treatments of it.
	10:21am DJpeterDE: @lg sorry I repeated your more informed comment that I hadn't seen
	10:22am Listener Gregory: @DJpeter, no problem. Few can keep up with my erudition! I have trouble myself a lot of the time.
	♥ 10:23am Jeff Golick: Comments reminding me that Jose Saramago's book Blindness is remarkable.
	10:24am Marco Esquandolas: Hi Jeff and everyone! Digging the show
	♥ 10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That Ayler quote.
	♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory My beloved Jessie and I used to sing "They All Laughed" as a go-to when the toddler Lincoln was fussy in her stroller. Calmed her right down every time.
	♥ 10:25am Jeff Golick: Greetings, @Marco Esquandolas! Glad you checked in!
	10:28am mic_a: Still listening every week, in between chores, thanks Jeff. Regarding London fog, if you don't have a paywall problem, here's a great article: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n19/neal-ascherson/brown-goo-like-marmite
	10:29am TDK60: Don't have the time nor the dough, but what does Marmite have to do with fog?
	♥ 10:30am Jeff Golick: Wonderful, @mic_a! Thanks for the link, and for the listening.
	♥ 10:31am David (in London): TDK, the fogs were caused by a massive build-up of Marmite in the atmosphere. True fact.
	♥ 10:32am David (in London): Jeff, without blowing London fog up your posterior, today's show is an absolute copper-bottomed doozy.
	10:32am mic_a: Someone said that's what the fog was like. Give the link a try. Some friends get blocked, I've been lucky, knock wood.
	♥ 10:33am Jeff Golick: Yeah, the stiff upper lip made it difficult to get all the Marmite into one's mouth, resulting in a excess of Marmite dust floating around.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): tuning into these gorgeous sounds… hello, Jeff and WFMU folx everywhere
	♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: Thanks for the heartwarming comment, @David (in London)!
	10:34am TDK60: David in London. Well, ya never know!
	♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: Yay, @Mx. Baba Bee is heeeeere.
	♥ 10:34am David (in London): Mx Bee, greetings to you.
	♥ 10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' Evelyn wrote about ‘Clowds of Smoak and Sulphur, so full of Stink and Darknesse’, and he noticed that the polluted air was ‘super-inducing a sooty Crust or Fur upon all that it lights’. (Here, exactly, was that London which endured down to and beyond the moment I first glimpsed it in wartime: a city of mourning-black temples whose columns and arches were wrapped in inky, velvety fur. Who under fifty, knowing only this golden-scrubbed city centre, can imagine that?) '...
	♥ 10:35am chresti: Morning Jeff and d:Others!
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): David (in London): good afternoon! ahem— CHRESTIKINS!
	♥ 10:37am Jeff Golick: Wassup, @chresti!
	10:38am Listener Gregory: It's not that you're attractive, but oh! my heart grows active When you walk by.
	♥ 10:38am David (in London): Rev D, I remember it being black even when I was a kid. It didn't get cleaned really until the 80s. Chresti. Hello.
	♥ 10:47am Jeff Golick: These lyrics not canonical.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am DJpeterDE: Wow the words are going by too fast for her that is hilarious
	♥ 10:48am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS!
	10:48am Listener Gregory: Shows that if you make up your own lyrics, they might not be as good as Ira’s.
	♥ 10:49am chresti: Hello, David (in London)!
	♥ 10:52am chresti: Making coffee, watching the cat circus out in the front yard/porch
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am DJpeterDE: Was just reading one of Sondheim’s books and he had some critical words for Ira (in the context of distinguishing him from other lyricists) and… well it wasn’t the first time that Sondheim made me see things differently
	10:57am Listener Gregory: Have to be a naughty baby and leave. I’ve been on vacation and have to start driving home. Thanks for 2/3 of a fun show, Jeff.
	10:59am rw: Good morning!
	♥ 10:59am Jeff Golick: Safe travels, @LG!
	♥ 11:00am Jeff Golick: Interesting, @DJpeterDE. Did he have thoughts on George? Good morn, @rw!
	11:00am rw: Gershwin was my grandfather's favorite. Not sure what he'd think of this version / impression though...
	♥ 11:07am Uncle Michael: Sorry, I'm late.
	11:07am rw: When we get to Rhapsody in Blue, that was the one Granddad sat me down as a young kid and explained its brilliance section by section. We will be getting to Rhapsody in Blue, won't we?
	♥ 11:09am Jeff Golick: @rw, that'll be for Stork to decide. @Uncle Michael: I'll start over for ya.
	♥ 11:13am Uncle Michael: cool
	♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Spoiler alert: Julian Alaphilippe had a good day.
	11:15am rw: Cool. Looking forward to finding out!
	♥ 11:21am Doug Schulkind: Julian "Cannonball" Alaphilippe?
	♥ 11:22am doctorjazz: Great car company, Jeff, time to check a South Slope apartment, gotta run, thanks!
	♥ 11:26am Jeff Golick: Bye, @doc! Good luck with the apt. I'm in the So. Slo! Enjoy it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am DJpeterDE: Re: Sondheim, I think he must discuss George somewhere but not in the section I read discussing Follies (in which Sondheim attempted pastiches of different songwriters from different eras of the fictionalized Ziegfeld Follies) — I don’t hunk he addressed George
	♥ 11:26am doctorjazz: (Park Slope must be three times as large as it was when I lived here, at least according to real estate agents...)
	♥ 11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the tub - but hadda see who that Sax player was ! Ah, Dexter. KennyClarke ...Bud freaking Powell...
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams, great daughter of Pittsburgh.
	11:39am Stork: Mary Lou Williams is the Willie Stargell of composers.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Gary: Hola!
	♥ 11:41am Jeff Golick: @Gary! Hola!
	♥ 11:45am Jeff Golick: Speaking of Willie Stargell, just watched the 30 for 30 doc on the '86 Mets. Thrilling. I forgot how much fun baseball could be (having seen the 2021 version).
	♥ 11:50am Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams is the Josh Gibson of composers.
	♥ 11:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks a lot for the great show!
	♥ 11:54am chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	11:54am rw: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John William Coltrane ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Fire Tiger🐅 September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967
	11:55am hyde: i'm certain it's the final curtain
	🥁 ♥ 11:57am DJpeterDE: @hyde good one!
	♥ 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY As Ever DJ JeffG ~
	11:58am Stork: Oh, I forgot - Irwin and Mike Anderson were responsible for putting out the Sun Ra does Gershwin thing! Props to them!
	11:59am Stork: Thanks, Jeff!!

	♥ 9:48am Jeff Golick: That's a good question, @LG. I turn to @DJpeterDE, if he's still out there?
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: Ornette! Cool! Will be heading for Park Slope in a bit, listen at the source (daughter's looking at an apartment there).
	9:49am hyde: @LG the internets says that "Chippie" from Something Else! is a take on "I Got Rhytm"
	9:53am Stork: Heavenly bass!
	♥ 9:54am doctorjazz: Bass is the Place (as I always say)!
	♥ 9:54am Jeff Golick: Hey, @doctorjazz! Wave as you go by!
	♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind: Ornette recorded Irving Berlin's chestnut "How Deep Is the Ocean" in 1958. Interestingly, he doesn't solo on it (other than a brief cadenza).
	♥ 9:56am Jeff Golick: Is that with Paul Bley, @Doug?
	♥ 9:57am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Yes. That was the other unusual thing. Ornette with piano!
	9:58am Listener Gregory: I think that an album of Ornette doing standards might have approached the popularity of the John Coltrane Standards record.
	9:59am DJpeterDE: @stork: that Lee-Blake is a cult classic. Certainly not everyone has heard it but everyone who hears it says : what? Whoa!
	♥ 10:00am Doug Schulkind: Only good things happen when people step out of old patterns and pathways of preconception and expectation. Braxton has embraced the standards off and on throughout his career to unforgettable effect.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06am DJpeterDE: The Billie Holiday was live, right? That would make it from her 1937 "Savoy" aircheck with Count Basie, a great date.
	10:06am Listener Gregory: Gosh, are there enough Gershwin tunes to fill out a whole show???
	10:06am TDK60: Yeah, MJQ & Giuffre hanging in the Berkshire hills.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06am DJpeterDE: @LG no i think we've heard all 12 of them. ;-)
	10:08am David in London: It’s always foggy here.
	♥ 10:10am doctorjazz: Had to check who that pianist was...SUN RA! Love this take on the tune!
	♥ 10:11am Jeff Golick: @David in London. I'm glad to hear that.
	10:12am DJpeterDE: Dang Bang really was channeling Stuff Smith there
	10:12am Listener Gregory: I got into a disagreement with a Londoner who claimed that the whole London fog thing was a complete myth. She did not seem to buy that it was largely caused by pollution from household coal fires (plus the natural dampness of the city), which it was.
	♥ 10:14am Jeff Golick: Thanks for the Billie intel, @DJpeterDE! I'm horrifyingly ignorant of much of her oeuvre.
	10:14am TDK60: Anyone know? Was Music Inn on the same site as Tanglewood, or down the road apiece?
	10:15am Stork: Woser, RRK.
	10:16am David in London: Jeff, it hasn’t actually been foggy here for donkeys years. My dad remembered the ‘pea soupers’ of the early 50s though. Once the bus he was on had to stop at Manor Park because it just couldn’t go any further. He got out and he said it was like standing in pure white, you just couldn’t see anything. By an amazing stroke of luck, there was a blind man on the bus, and he lead my dad home.
	♥ 10:17am Jeff Golick: @David, that is amazing!
	♥ 10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Requesting 'Summertime' by TheBuckinghams ...but Miles will do :) ...heck play the whole album...
	♥ 10:18am doctorjazz: David inn London, amazing tale!
	10:19am DJpeterDE: You could do this entire show just drawing on Porgy & Bess records from 1958-1960
	♥ 10:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - when we're all sightless, the 'blind' are @ an advantage.
	10:20am DJpeterDE: According to Mad Men's Lane Price character, the fog was actually Dickens-era industrial pollutants
	10:21am Listener Gregory: One of my favorite Gershwin songs is "They All Laughed," but it's primarily because of the lyrics. Not too many jazz treatments of it.
	10:21am DJpeterDE: @lg sorry I repeated your more informed comment that I hadn't seen
	10:22am Listener Gregory: @DJpeter, no problem. Few can keep up with my erudition! I have trouble myself a lot of the time.
	♥ 10:23am Jeff Golick: Comments reminding me that Jose Saramago's book Blindness is remarkable.
	10:24am Marco Esquandolas: Hi Jeff and everyone! Digging the show
	♥ 10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That Ayler quote.
	♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind: @Listener Gregory My beloved Jessie and I used to sing "They All Laughed" as a go-to when the toddler Lincoln was fussy in her stroller. Calmed her right down every time.
	♥ 10:25am Jeff Golick: Greetings, @Marco Esquandolas! Glad you checked in!
	10:28am mic_a: Still listening every week, in between chores, thanks Jeff. Regarding London fog, if you don't have a paywall problem, here's a great article: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v37/n19/neal-ascherson/brown-goo-like-marmite
	10:29am TDK60: Don't have the time nor the dough, but what does Marmite have to do with fog?
	♥ 10:30am Jeff Golick: Wonderful, @mic_a! Thanks for the link, and for the listening.
	♥ 10:31am David (in London): TDK, the fogs were caused by a massive build-up of Marmite in the atmosphere. True fact.
	♥ 10:32am David (in London): Jeff, without blowing London fog up your posterior, today's show is an absolute copper-bottomed doozy.
	10:32am mic_a: Someone said that's what the fog was like. Give the link a try. Some friends get blocked, I've been lucky, knock wood.
	♥ 10:33am Jeff Golick: Yeah, the stiff upper lip made it difficult to get all the Marmite into one's mouth, resulting in a excess of Marmite dust floating around.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): tuning into these gorgeous sounds… hello, Jeff and WFMU folx everywhere
	♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: Thanks for the heartwarming comment, @David (in London)!
	10:34am TDK60: David in London. Well, ya never know!
	♥ 10:34am Jeff Golick: Yay, @Mx. Baba Bee is heeeeere.
	♥ 10:34am David (in London): Mx Bee, greetings to you.
	♥ 10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' Evelyn wrote about ‘Clowds of Smoak and Sulphur, so full of Stink and Darknesse’, and he noticed that the polluted air was ‘super-inducing a sooty Crust or Fur upon all that it lights’. (Here, exactly, was that London which endured down to and beyond the moment I first glimpsed it in wartime: a city of mourning-black temples whose columns and arches were wrapped in inky, velvety fur. Who under fifty, knowing only this golden-scrubbed city centre, can imagine that?) '...
	♥ 10:35am chresti: Morning Jeff and d:Others!
	🥁 ♥ 10:36am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): David (in London): good afternoon! ahem— CHRESTIKINS!
	♥ 10:37am Jeff Golick: Wassup, @chresti!
	10:38am Listener Gregory: It's not that you're attractive, but oh! my heart grows active When you walk by.
	♥ 10:38am David (in London): Rev D, I remember it being black even when I was a kid. It didn't get cleaned really until the 80s. Chresti. Hello.
	♥ 10:47am Jeff Golick: These lyrics not canonical.
	🥁 ♥ 10:47am DJpeterDE: Wow the words are going by too fast for her that is hilarious
	♥ 10:48am chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS!
	10:48am Listener Gregory: Shows that if you make up your own lyrics, they might not be as good as Ira’s.
	♥ 10:49am chresti: Hello, David (in London)!
	♥ 10:52am chresti: Making coffee, watching the cat circus out in the front yard/porch
	🥁 ♥ 10:53am DJpeterDE: Was just reading one of Sondheim’s books and he had some critical words for Ira (in the context of distinguishing him from other lyricists) and… well it wasn’t the first time that Sondheim made me see things differently
	10:57am Listener Gregory: Have to be a naughty baby and leave. I’ve been on vacation and have to start driving home. Thanks for 2/3 of a fun show, Jeff.
	10:59am rw: Good morning!
	♥ 10:59am Jeff Golick: Safe travels, @LG!
	♥ 11:00am Jeff Golick: Interesting, @DJpeterDE. Did he have thoughts on George? Good morn, @rw!
	11:00am rw: Gershwin was my grandfather's favorite. Not sure what he'd think of this version / impression though...
	♥ 11:07am Uncle Michael: Sorry, I'm late.
	11:07am rw: When we get to Rhapsody in Blue, that was the one Granddad sat me down as a young kid and explained its brilliance section by section. We will be getting to Rhapsody in Blue, won't we?
	♥ 11:09am Jeff Golick: @rw, that'll be for Stork to decide. @Uncle Michael: I'll start over for ya.
	♥ 11:13am Uncle Michael: cool
	♥ 11:14am Uncle Michael: Spoiler alert: Julian Alaphilippe had a good day.
	11:15am rw: Cool. Looking forward to finding out!
	♥ 11:21am Doug Schulkind: Julian "Cannonball" Alaphilippe?
	♥ 11:22am doctorjazz: Great car company, Jeff, time to check a South Slope apartment, gotta run, thanks!
	♥ 11:26am Jeff Golick: Bye, @doc! Good luck with the apt. I'm in the So. Slo! Enjoy it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26am DJpeterDE: Re: Sondheim, I think he must discuss George somewhere but not in the section I read discussing Follies (in which Sondheim attempted pastiches of different songwriters from different eras of the fictionalized Ziegfeld Follies) — I don’t hunk he addressed George
	♥ 11:26am doctorjazz: (Park Slope must be three times as large as it was when I lived here, at least according to real estate agents...)
	♥ 11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the tub - but hadda see who that Sax player was ! Ah, Dexter. KennyClarke ...Bud freaking Powell...
	♥ 11:28am Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams, great daughter of Pittsburgh.
	11:39am Stork: Mary Lou Williams is the Willie Stargell of composers.
	🥁 ♥ 11:40am Gary: Hola!
	♥ 11:41am Jeff Golick: @Gary! Hola!
	♥ 11:45am Jeff Golick: Speaking of Willie Stargell, just watched the 30 for 30 doc on the '86 Mets. Thrilling. I forgot how much fun baseball could be (having seen the 2021 version).
	♥ 11:50am Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams is the Josh Gibson of composers.
	♥ 11:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks a lot for the great show!
	♥ 11:54am chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	11:54am rw: Thanks Jeff!
