	11:06am Bob Brainen: (Mr) Bill!
	11:07am Bob Brainen: chresti!
	🥁 11:07am Mxter Baba: My associations with Jack Sheldon are so melded with School House Rock that it still strikes me oddly when I hear him sing songs that aren't "for kids"
	11:07am gene sculatti: Sheldon!!
	🥁 11:08am chresti: Mxter Bkins, I have a younger brother who lives in El Sobrante with our dad.

	11:09am Bob Brainen: Gene! Sheldon, thanks to you!
	11:09am Bob Brainen: doctorjazz! Glad to hear it.
	🥁 11:09am (Mr) Bill: Jack Sheldon. For some unfathomable reason, I loved his short-lived sitcom “Run, Buddy, Run.”
	11:09am gene sculatti: He's so hip, man.
	11:10am Jeff: I think Lincoln is channeling Mac Rebennack here
	🥁 11:10am Mxter Baba: chrestikins: Oh, that's right, what a litter! I was the first born of both of my parents, but I called my little brother my big brother because he was way more mature than me.
	🥁 11:10am Mxter Baba: doctorjazz: that is awesome!!!
	11:11am Bob Brainen: There's a Jack Sheldon documentary called: Trying to Get Good. Worth a watch.
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Jeff, I'm betting Mac may have channeled some Lincoln as well!
	🥁 11:13am wmfromD: Sheldon showed up on a few episodes of Dragnet. That cat got around.
	11:13am doctorjazz: Love these Jelly Roll tracks! Sing those blues, Mister Jelly Roll!!!
	11:15am SmokinJ: Hey bb & all! Soundin' great! Sick of Summer... 8-)
	🥁 11:15am Mxter Baba: this Jelly Roll Morton is fantastic!
	11:15am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	🥁 11:15am chresti: I like how you put cds in the cinder block holes.
	🥁 11:16am Mxter Baba: hope you can stay cool, SmokinJ!
	11:16am SmokinJ: Go big daddy! 8-)
	11:16am dan: Gerry Rafferty is due for a Bob and Pete retrospective.
	11:17am fredr: Morning Bob and all!
	11:17am Bob Brainen: fredr!
	11:18am SmokinJ: @Mxter Baba: THX! 8-)
	🥁 11:19am Mxter Baba: I'm sure Felix has something in that bag of tricks!
	🥁 11:19am chresti: I'm with you re: summer, SmokinJ!
	11:19am SmokinJ: Heat SUCKS! 8-)
	🥁 11:19am Mxter Baba: If I could send all you sweltering folx some of this delicious cool fog, I surely would
	11:20am dan: @SmokinJ I heard that was a good movie.
	11:22am SmokinJ: Although I feel like a caged beast with the AC running constantly, the ice cold brew and my trusty bong are making bb's show enjoyable as hell! 8-)
	11:22am doctorjazz: This show is making me love PJ, great Power Pop!
	11:23am PT: Good Morning BB et tout le monde! (I took French in HS, never used until now!) No panoramic photo can do the awesomeness of Bob’s studio justice.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: PT! Thanks-for both photo and compliment!
	11:27am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! Isn't this a Gil-Scott Heron tune?
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Yes sir.
	11:28am WR: Yes, nice to hear a cover of the Gil-Scot Heron tune.
	🥁 11:29am chresti: Thanks Mxter Bkins, we're getting a little relief in the morning the last couple days with some cloud cover before it burns off.☁
	11:29am Bob Brainen: WR!
	11:29am doctorjazz: Doing the Jersey Bounce here in Joisey!
	🥁 11:29am chresti: ⛅
	11:30am doctorjazz: 95-100 degrees next 2 days in these parts (my bouncing is indoors).
	11:32am gene sculatti: What an oddly cool song!
	🥁 11:32am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & everyone!
	11:33am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:36am WR: I know of but know nothing about Les Hite and His Orchestra. Quick look in discogs can read that besides Dizzy Gillespie, he had T-Bone Walker, and Gerald Wilson in the orchestra at one time or another. Hope someone has written on him.
	🥁 11:37am Will a Sound Guy: Hi Bob and all!!! 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 11:38am Gina Bacon: I didn't know there was a Jersey City song!
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Gina B, yup on the Cevetone label. B-side to be heard next week.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Will a Sound Guy!
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Just read that when Lester Young was asked if he had a big band who he would like to be the singer and he said: Jo Stafford. There is no higher compliment!
	🥁 11:42am (Mr) Bill: Bob, you’ve enabled me to appreciate Jo Stafford’s artistry.
	11:42am Gerry from Miami: I saw an article on-line this week that named the cities(in order) that were being "abandoned" the most in the state of New Jersey. The "winner" was Jersey City! Home of WFMU! What is pushing folks there to pack up and move to more amenable surroundings? Like where I live, here in Florida. Just curious.
	11:43am dan: Is this the guy that went under the name Aerial Bender?
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: Dan, I think so.
	11:47am Dean: Yep, Ariel Bender, as in the short-lived Widowmaker.
	🥁 11:48am wmfromD: I was reading about an unreleased Tanega LP from '69. Is some of it on this collection?
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Thanks, BOB, for playing Norma Tanega every week since the release of this retrospective set. She deserves to be remembered. Who knew that the lady behind that oddball hit in the 60s, "Me and My Cat Named Dog," was such a talented songwriter and performer?
	11:51am Bob Brainen: wmfromD, not sure, notes could be more helpful, than again, I should reread.
	🥁 11:52am chresti: Mxter Bkins, your birthday is soon?
	12:00pm 1whoknewcthulhu: Good morning, Bob and all! Late to this party--what'd I miss?
	12:00pm Andrew in Toronto: www.discogs.com...
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: 1whoknewcthulhu!
	12:12pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, are you going to bookend your "Lady Day and John Coltrane" from earlier in the show with something by the late saxophone master? You got Billie covered.
	12:19pm Dean: Claw Hammer does a rousing version of this.
	12:20pm Dean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdPkjNIJ3g
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: Nice left turn, BOB! Actually more like a U-turn! The good Captain was feeling that Vermont moonlight in ways that Billie never imagined!
	12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning Bob. In this house we have his and hers copies of Trout Mask Replica.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie, twice as nice!
	🥁 12:27pm wmfromD: Reading the accounts by Magic Band guys during Trout Mask period. Harrowing. Beefheart was out there.
	12:28pm dan: Gladys Knight was just announced as a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors
	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Rockette Mortan play one of those Dan Electros. He ran around the stage like a manic dog on a leash tethered to an amp that looked like it was going to fall over at any minute.
	12:30pm Bob Brainen: wmfrom D, Jeff Cotton's book amongst them? Drumbo's was massive and demanding I read part of it. Who else? Bill Harkleroad?
	12:31pm Gerry from Miami: Loved this Ornette album to death! All his best sideman! Had the pleasure of seeing the original quartet(minus Don Cherry--dental surgery earlier that day) at the vintage Art Deco Orpheum theater in downtown LA in 1984. It was part of the Olympic Arts Festival.
	12:32pm Dean: That '84 Olympic Arts Festival was a wonderful time to be in LA.
	12:33pm dan: @Dean Which celebrities were involved?
	🥁 12:33pm wmfromD: Bob, I read Harkleroad's book when it came out. It sounds more like a cult than a band. California in the late sixties, go figure.
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: dan, they deserve it! Franco: Yeah, I've seen footage of Rockette playing one, there's that Cannes performance, for one. Gerry, Nice! I saw them ca. 78, maybe @ Kool Jazz Fest or whatever it was called then
	12:35pm Franco Twinkie: I think Lunar Notes by Zoot Horn Rollo is a good starter book for people who want to find out what really happened in Frownland. I too was at The Orpheum show. Man it was hot in there!
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, Dean, it was. The AC was out of order that night at the Orpheum. They had to open all the side doors to prevent the musicians and audience from keeling over with heat stroke. LA was suffering a heatwave at that time. The music was very hot as well!
	12:37pm Dean: I attended theater and dance events, e.g., Piccolo Teatro di Milano, who did a stunning performance of The Tempest...in Italian! I met Peter Falk in the audience. Tadeusz Kantor's Cricot 2 performed. Kantor stood on stage directing the performers.
	12:39pm Dean: I remember seeing Jon Voigt strolling the UCLA campus.
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: I also saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham that summer as part of the 1984 festivities. It was at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. It was on a Sunday Afternoon. Even though it was hot, I walked to the show from home.
	12:42pm Dean: Here's a program from the Festival: https://archive.org/details/claphila_000068/mode/2up
	12:44pm dan: @Bob Only Gladys Knight is getting the honor, not the Pips. Unfortunately, two of my least favorite figures in entertainment, U2 and George Clooney are also getting honored.
	12:44pm Gerry from Miami: The time of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles was wondrous. Great time to be there! Musicians, visual, dance and performance artists, world-class athletes and many visitors from everywhere in the world. Cosmic convergence!
	12:50pm Dean: I accompanied a noted California theater educator to the shows. He knew some of the performers (and Falk). On p.40 of the program you'll see a photograph of the actor performing Arlecchino in Piccolo Teatro's commedia del'arte production. We went backstage to meet him. My friend had seen him in the first production of the show many years earlier.
	12:56pm WR: Thank you for the Beefheart Moonlight on Vermont.
	12:58pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, Green Sally Up(also known as Bring Sally Up) was the outgrowth of a children's playground game that involved a dare to do multiple push-ups or similar physical stunts.
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: WR, yr welcome. Gerry, interesting, thanks! Gotta find my Folkways Children's game songs album...
	1:05pm Tome: Hi BoB & everyone , lovin' the set stay try and stay KooL !<>!
	🥁 1:06pm wmfromD: Is this from a Mono copy of Again?
	1:08pm Gerry from Miami: Neil Young and his Buffalo Springfield cohorts rarely surpassed this gem. Wow!
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Tome, thanks!
	1:11pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, yes sir.
	🥁 1:14pm wmfromD: Bob, nice. Not easy to find.
	1:16pm Gerry from Miami: Why did I always pass over this band located between Indigo Girls and Interpol in record store racks? Really nice, little piece. Now I have to go back and seek out some Innocence Mission discs.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: wm, yeah on vinyl hard to find, but it''s all on CD, at least 2 diff. box sets, I believe. Gerry: I heart Inno. Mission!
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & all
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	1:25pm dan: Sounds like Victor Feldman on Latin Percussion
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: I think so, dan. He might be the only musician to play on all 7 albums (besides Becker & Fagen.) Would have to check if Denny Dias made all 7. (?)
	1:32pm doctorjazz: A link about the Hear O Israel album... soundsoftheuniverse.com...
	1:35pm dan: Funny how Todd counts down on a song where he plays every instrument
	1:42pm doctorjazz: I don't think the count-off is really about getting a band to start together, else they'd do it every song (you always want to start at the same time). Even if it was, it could easily be edited out. I think it's more about generating some excitement in the listener.
	🥁 1:42pm listener james from westwood: Had a feeling this was a Duplex anecdote!
	1:44pm Marc Francis: Wow. That last jawn was incredible. I always love when you play songs from that series but wow... that one was fantastic!
	1:45pm Marc Francis: Also! Glad to be here live again! Usually listen on a Sunday but I have the day off!
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Greenberg and his associates are spot on! No critical thinking skills for far too many Americans. And what do they say was the only book that Trump kept on his nightstand? The Collected Speeches of Adolf Hitler! OUCH! Lord help us!
	1:48pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:48pm (Mr) Bill: Many thanks for taking me out of my mind today. I am better for it.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great tunes, Bob! Stay cool all!
	1:57pm Gerry from Miami: Keep tryin', BOB! It's Hwa-KEEN on the Dacita record.
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks for the sounds and conversation, Bob. Take care. See you next week
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great great show Bob!
	🥁 1:58pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Bob!
	1:58pm dan: Thanks Bob
	🥁 1:59pm Will a Sound Guy: Thank you Bob, great show!!!
	2:16pm coelacanth: Thanks Bob!

	11:11am Bob Brainen: There's a Jack Sheldon documentary called: Trying to Get Good. Worth a watch.
	11:12am Bob Brainen: Jeff, I'm betting Mac may have channeled some Lincoln as well!
	🥁 11:13am wmfromD: Sheldon showed up on a few episodes of Dragnet. That cat got around.
	11:13am doctorjazz: Love these Jelly Roll tracks! Sing those blues, Mister Jelly Roll!!!
	11:15am SmokinJ: Hey bb & all! Soundin' great! Sick of Summer... 8-)

	11:15am Bob Brainen: SmokinJ!
	🥁 11:15am chresti: I like how you put cds in the cinder block holes.

	11:19am SmokinJ: Heat SUCKS! 8-)
	🥁 11:19am Mxter Baba: If I could send all you sweltering folx some of this delicious cool fog, I surely would
	11:20am dan: @SmokinJ I heard that was a good movie.
	11:22am SmokinJ: Although I feel like a caged beast with the AC running constantly, the ice cold brew and my trusty bong are making bb's show enjoyable as hell! 8-)
	11:22am doctorjazz: This show is making me love PJ, great Power Pop!
	11:23am PT: Good Morning BB et tout le monde! (I took French in HS, never used until now!) No panoramic photo can do the awesomeness of Bob’s studio justice.
	11:24am Bob Brainen: PT! Thanks-for both photo and compliment!
	11:27am Gerry from Miami: Mornin', BOB! Isn't this a Gil-Scott Heron tune?
	11:28am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Yes sir.
	11:28am WR: Yes, nice to hear a cover of the Gil-Scot Heron tune.
	🥁 11:29am chresti: Thanks Mxter Bkins, we're getting a little relief in the morning the last couple days with some cloud cover before it burns off.☁
	11:29am Bob Brainen: WR!
	11:29am doctorjazz: Doing the Jersey Bounce here in Joisey!
	🥁 11:29am chresti: ⛅
	11:30am doctorjazz: 95-100 degrees next 2 days in these parts (my bouncing is indoors).
	11:32am gene sculatti: What an oddly cool song!
	🥁 11:32am Gina Bacon: Morning, Bob & Pete & everyone!
	11:33am Bob Brainen: Gina Bacon!
	11:36am WR: I know of but know nothing about Les Hite and His Orchestra. Quick look in discogs can read that besides Dizzy Gillespie, he had T-Bone Walker, and Gerald Wilson in the orchestra at one time or another. Hope someone has written on him.
	🥁 11:37am Will a Sound Guy: Hi Bob and all!!! 🐸 🐸 🐸
	🥁 11:38am Gina Bacon: I didn't know there was a Jersey City song!
	11:39am Bob Brainen: Gina B, yup on the Cevetone label. B-side to be heard next week.
	11:40am Bob Brainen: Will a Sound Guy!
	11:41am Bob Brainen: Just read that when Lester Young was asked if he had a big band who he would like to be the singer and he said: Jo Stafford. There is no higher compliment!
	🥁 11:42am (Mr) Bill: Bob, you’ve enabled me to appreciate Jo Stafford’s artistry.
	11:42am Gerry from Miami: I saw an article on-line this week that named the cities(in order) that were being "abandoned" the most in the state of New Jersey. The "winner" was Jersey City! Home of WFMU! What is pushing folks there to pack up and move to more amenable surroundings? Like where I live, here in Florida. Just curious.
	11:43am dan: Is this the guy that went under the name Aerial Bender?
	11:44am Gerry from Miami: Dan, I think so.
	11:47am Dean: Yep, Ariel Bender, as in the short-lived Widowmaker.
	🥁 11:48am wmfromD: I was reading about an unreleased Tanega LP from '69. Is some of it on this collection?
	11:50am Bob Brainen: Dean!
	11:51am Gerry from Miami: Thanks, BOB, for playing Norma Tanega every week since the release of this retrospective set. She deserves to be remembered. Who knew that the lady behind that oddball hit in the 60s, "Me and My Cat Named Dog," was such a talented songwriter and performer?
	11:51am Bob Brainen: wmfromD, not sure, notes could be more helpful, than again, I should reread.
	🥁 11:52am chresti: Mxter Bkins, your birthday is soon?
	12:00pm 1whoknewcthulhu: Good morning, Bob and all! Late to this party--what'd I miss?
	12:00pm Andrew in Toronto: www.discogs.com...
	12:08pm Bob Brainen: 1whoknewcthulhu!
	12:12pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, are you going to bookend your "Lady Day and John Coltrane" from earlier in the show with something by the late saxophone master? You got Billie covered.
	12:19pm Dean: Claw Hammer does a rousing version of this.
	12:20pm Dean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdPkjNIJ3g
	12:21pm Gerry from Miami: Nice left turn, BOB! Actually more like a U-turn! The good Captain was feeling that Vermont moonlight in ways that Billie never imagined!
	12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning Bob. In this house we have his and hers copies of Trout Mask Replica.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: Franco Twinkie, twice as nice!
	🥁 12:27pm wmfromD: Reading the accounts by Magic Band guys during Trout Mask period. Harrowing. Beefheart was out there.
	12:28pm dan: Gladys Knight was just announced as a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors
	12:29pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Rockette Mortan play one of those Dan Electros. He ran around the stage like a manic dog on a leash tethered to an amp that looked like it was going to fall over at any minute.
	12:30pm Bob Brainen: wmfrom D, Jeff Cotton's book amongst them? Drumbo's was massive and demanding I read part of it. Who else? Bill Harkleroad?
	12:31pm Gerry from Miami: Loved this Ornette album to death! All his best sideman! Had the pleasure of seeing the original quartet(minus Don Cherry--dental surgery earlier that day) at the vintage Art Deco Orpheum theater in downtown LA in 1984. It was part of the Olympic Arts Festival.
	12:32pm Dean: That '84 Olympic Arts Festival was a wonderful time to be in LA.
	12:33pm dan: @Dean Which celebrities were involved?
	🥁 12:33pm wmfromD: Bob, I read Harkleroad's book when it came out. It sounds more like a cult than a band. California in the late sixties, go figure.
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: dan, they deserve it! Franco: Yeah, I've seen footage of Rockette playing one, there's that Cannes performance, for one. Gerry, Nice! I saw them ca. 78, maybe @ Kool Jazz Fest or whatever it was called then
	12:35pm Franco Twinkie: I think Lunar Notes by Zoot Horn Rollo is a good starter book for people who want to find out what really happened in Frownland. I too was at The Orpheum show. Man it was hot in there!
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, Dean, it was. The AC was out of order that night at the Orpheum. They had to open all the side doors to prevent the musicians and audience from keeling over with heat stroke. LA was suffering a heatwave at that time. The music was very hot as well!
	12:37pm Dean: I attended theater and dance events, e.g., Piccolo Teatro di Milano, who did a stunning performance of The Tempest...in Italian! I met Peter Falk in the audience. Tadeusz Kantor's Cricot 2 performed. Kantor stood on stage directing the performers.
	12:39pm Dean: I remember seeing Jon Voigt strolling the UCLA campus.
	12:42pm Franco Twinkie: I also saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham that summer as part of the 1984 festivities. It was at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. It was on a Sunday Afternoon. Even though it was hot, I walked to the show from home.
	12:42pm Dean: Here's a program from the Festival: https://archive.org/details/claphila_000068/mode/2up
	12:44pm dan: @Bob Only Gladys Knight is getting the honor, not the Pips. Unfortunately, two of my least favorite figures in entertainment, U2 and George Clooney are also getting honored.
	12:44pm Gerry from Miami: The time of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles was wondrous. Great time to be there! Musicians, visual, dance and performance artists, world-class athletes and many visitors from everywhere in the world. Cosmic convergence!
	12:50pm Dean: I accompanied a noted California theater educator to the shows. He knew some of the performers (and Falk). On p.40 of the program you'll see a photograph of the actor performing Arlecchino in Piccolo Teatro's commedia del'arte production. We went backstage to meet him. My friend had seen him in the first production of the show many years earlier.
	12:56pm WR: Thank you for the Beefheart Moonlight on Vermont.
	12:58pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, Green Sally Up(also known as Bring Sally Up) was the outgrowth of a children's playground game that involved a dare to do multiple push-ups or similar physical stunts.
	1:00pm Bob Brainen: WR, yr welcome. Gerry, interesting, thanks! Gotta find my Folkways Children's game songs album...
	1:05pm Tome: Hi BoB & everyone , lovin' the set stay try and stay KooL !<>!
	🥁 1:06pm wmfromD: Is this from a Mono copy of Again?
	1:08pm Gerry from Miami: Neil Young and his Buffalo Springfield cohorts rarely surpassed this gem. Wow!
	1:10pm Bob Brainen: Tome, thanks!
	1:11pm Bob Brainen: wmfromD, yes sir.
	🥁 1:14pm wmfromD: Bob, nice. Not easy to find.
	1:16pm Gerry from Miami: Why did I always pass over this band located between Indigo Girls and Interpol in record store racks? Really nice, little piece. Now I have to go back and seek out some Innocence Mission discs.
	1:19pm Bob Brainen: wm, yeah on vinyl hard to find, but it''s all on CD, at least 2 diff. box sets, I believe. Gerry: I heart Inno. Mission!
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: greetings Bob & all
	1:23pm Bob Brainen: coelacanth∅!
	1:25pm dan: Sounds like Victor Feldman on Latin Percussion
	1:29pm Bob Brainen: I think so, dan. He might be the only musician to play on all 7 albums (besides Becker & Fagen.) Would have to check if Denny Dias made all 7. (?)
	1:32pm doctorjazz: A link about the Hear O Israel album... soundsoftheuniverse.com...
	1:35pm dan: Funny how Todd counts down on a song where he plays every instrument
	1:42pm doctorjazz: I don't think the count-off is really about getting a band to start together, else they'd do it every song (you always want to start at the same time). Even if it was, it could easily be edited out. I think it's more about generating some excitement in the listener.
	🥁 1:42pm listener james from westwood: Had a feeling this was a Duplex anecdote!
	1:44pm Marc Francis: Wow. That last jawn was incredible. I always love when you play songs from that series but wow... that one was fantastic!
	1:45pm Marc Francis: Also! Glad to be here live again! Usually listen on a Sunday but I have the day off!
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: Mr. Greenberg and his associates are spot on! No critical thinking skills for far too many Americans. And what do they say was the only book that Trump kept on his nightstand? The Collected Speeches of Adolf Hitler! OUCH! Lord help us!
	1:48pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:48pm (Mr) Bill: Many thanks for taking me out of my mind today. I am better for it.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great tunes, Bob! Stay cool all!
	1:57pm Gerry from Miami: Keep tryin', BOB! It's Hwa-KEEN on the Dacita record.
	1:57pm Jeff: Thanks for the sounds and conversation, Bob. Take care. See you next week
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great great show Bob!
	🥁 1:58pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Bob!
	1:58pm dan: Thanks Bob
	🥁 1:59pm Will a Sound Guy: Thank you Bob, great show!!!
	2:16pm coelacanth: Thanks Bob!
