Listener comments!
	6:59pm Matt Fiveash: Hiya!
	7:00pm ultradamno: Matt! Bluesies!
	7:01pm Clinto: Matt! Blues Intro!!
	7:01pm Lothianman: Greetings everyone! Hope everyone is doing great! HBD blind boy fuller!
	7:01pm Clinto: The blues scale is very simple.
	7:03pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Matt, ultradamno, Clinto, lothianman, gang!
	7:04pm Clinto: Wouldn't it be cool if I were from Clifton?
	7:05pm Handy Haversack: Matt! Blueing Agents! This seems like a promising start!
	7:05pm Clinto: I never did Mardi Gras but I have walked in a second line
	7:05pm Dominick: yes yes
	7:07pm Lothianman: Nothing like a warm February evening!
	7:07pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Clinto @7:04 Clinto from Clifton? Very cool!
	7:08pm Dungaroos Kipawah: This is the elixir I been craving
	7:08pm Clinto: Clinton actually I was being clever in deleting a letter
	7:08pm Clinto: Actually never heard this before!!
	7:09pm Lothianman: Pretty soon all the DJs will be in NOLA and we will be stranded!
	7:09pm G: Our food delivery options are limited here tonight because the St Charles Ave parade route cuts us off from most of town... Two weeks every year :-)
	7:09pm Clinto: DJs go to Mardi Gras?
	7:10pm G: ↳ Clinto @7:09 Some krewes have DJs on one of their cars/wagons.
	7:11pm Lothianman: Big time! Several of my faves already left for whiv and wwoz for the next few weeks
	👻 7:12pm Will thee Sound Guy: Rest in power Huey "Piano" Smith!!!
	7:13pm Clinto: when oh when will there be another Ponderossa Stomp??
	7:13pm G: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @7:12 Has been big news today here locally in NOLA. He's been in poor health since last year.
	7:13pm castor: Hi Matt and all! I've been to 3 NOLA Mardi Gras, crazy times and some of my best memories. Thank you for the sweet tunes!
	7:14pm McGroovey: I could listen to Bob and Ray for the rest of the show, but Matt probably had other plans.
	7:14pm wind: This is Great!
	7:15pm Handy Haversack: I can't even stress how much better this show is than the Superfund site Citizens Advisory Group meeting that I also have in my headphones.
	7:15pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Song: "Wally Ballou Visits an Adult Tap Dancing School" ... To think I was on the fence about including a comedy bit in my fill-in next week! To clarify, I mean thanks for convincing me it's a really stupid idea — i.e., I will definitely play it.
	7:16pm Clinto: What? Huey! I had no idea!!
	7:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Gaylord Fields @7:15 Gaylord, I was at a scholarly publishing mixer tonight, and a fellow saw my WFMU shirt and asked "Is Gaylord still there?" He had great FMU memories going back to the Upsala days and after talking for a while agreed that he was going to start listening a lot more again.
	7:17pm doctorjazz: Hi Gaylord, glad I happened on the show, it's a real treat!
	7:19pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hello Matt and all. So far, so great
	7:20pm Dominick: all right !!!
	7:21pm ultradamno: And Raquel Welch, who I don't recall singing the blues, but she did a movie with Bill Cosby, so maybe she had a reason to...
	7:21pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Clinto @7:13 According to Dr. Ike, it's hard to have one when so many of the people he'd want to honor have passed away. And he feels it would be a different event if it featured younger acts.
	7:22pm Matt Fiveash: Hey Gaylord! Thanks for observing tonight so you know what not to do next week.
	7:22pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:17 That's pretty cool. I tend to cower from people wearing WFMU T-shirts in the wild.
	7:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Gaylord Fields @7:22 Forestalling social interaction is like 40 percent of why I wear them!
	7:24pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Matt Fiveash @7:22 My idea was same songs different order, but I'll come up with something new if not original, I guess.
	7:24pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:23 Good point! It's a sort of social filter.
	7:27pm Clinto: Wonder if this is Fred Below on drums
	7:29pm Clinto: Mmmmm that's good Below
	7:30pm Lothianman: ↳ Gaylord Fields @7:22 Yeah Gaylord I'm with you. Saw a scientist with an FMU tee at work once and his outward appearance made me scared. Not sure what it all means at this point
	7:34pm luka: evenin y’all
	7:36pm luka: ↳ Song: "Stone Age" by "De La Soul featuring Biz Markie" mmm hmm
	7:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ luka @7:36 Word. What luka said.
	7:38pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Lothianman @7:30 I do admit that eagerness to interact with WFMU-branded folks increases the farther away I am from home base when I spot it. I'm gonna avert my eyes in NYC, nod at someone in a WFMU shirt in LA, and hug someone wearing one in Istanbul.
	7:38pm ultradamno: Seems like emcees don't issue check it out/check it advisories as much as they used to...it's negligent
	👻 7:41pm listener 126464: Nobody beats the Biz. RIP Trugoy, Plug 2. Thanks Matt.
	7:42pm ultradamno: Das EFX were around that time, they were always checkin' it
	7:45pm jt: Three Feet High & Rising...when THAT album dropped... oh, it was fun times from there on in...yeah and if you don't like De La Soul...well... I can't do nothin' for ya, man.
	7:47pm psdnyc: This is a great set! Thx Matt
	7:47pm wenzo: Salutations blues fiends
	7:48pm psdnyc: THREE FEET HIGH AND RISING was given to me at age 10 and was probably the first rap / hip hop album I ever posessed. What an introduction to the form, in that it was so uniquely its own. I can't wait for iht to hit spotify in a month (dare i say it).
	👻 7:50pm listener 126464: To me, 3 ft. high is up right there at the top with first 2 television albums.
	7:50pm jt: ↳ psdnyc @7:48 They are re-releasing all their albums finally so you can own a copy again..if ya need.
	7:51pm McGroovey: Funny-- I might be a couple years too young to care about De La Soul. People I knew in college liked them, but they were younger than me. I was aware of De La Soul because those people were talking about them, but I never listened to them on purpose myself. They might have been one of the many current anonymous pop things in the air that I might have heard coming out someone else's stereo at a party, or while in I was shopping somewhere. I myself was listening to noisy guitar music and old time jazz.
	7:52pm jt: ..been a long time since I stays out all night long..
	7:53pm doctorjazz: Cool set, thnx, Matt!
	7:54pm psdnyc: JT - I bough the vinyl and a tee shirt. Went full fanboy. Awaiting arrival in the mail! Of course my original version was a cassette....
	7:55pm Matt Fiveash: Thx everyone! Gaylord Fields guest hosts next week. See you in 14 days!
	7:56pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Matt! A mighty fine show!
	7:56pm ultradamno: I remember Digable Planets were around that time too, good stuff
	7:56pm wind: See you Matt. Take care🖐🏾
	👻 7:57pm listener 126464: Thanks Matt. I thought that 3 ft. high flowed like an early Jefferson Airplane album.
	7:57pm luka: peace
	7:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Matt! Night, all the Blued!
	7:58pm doctorjazz: Thnx Matt (misread, thought Gaylord was here today, sorry). Great show!
	8:00pm McGroovey: Woohoo! Gaylord!
	8:00pm wenzo: Thanks Matt!
	8:07pm Clinto: Guess I'm the same age as you Matt because I remember Three Feet High being on the turntable at a friend's first apartment in the last year of High School. Total era definer.
	8:07pm Clinto: Great set!! Superfluous! A revelation!
	9:23pm Irwin: You know what's wrong with your show, Matt? I'll tell you what's wrong with your show. It's got one BIG problem, and I hope you fix it. Because it spoils an otherwise fine listening experience. The problem with your show is that it's TOO DAMN SHORT. There, I said it. Do something about it. Please. We listeners don't deserve to be shortchanged week after week.
