	12:10pm Sylvia: Hello Irene and all
	♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: Nice guitar set (but this show ALWAYS features great guitar). Hi Irene, streamers!
	♥ 12:12pm doctorjazz: Went to see Nefesh Mountain last night (first Post COVID outing), they were very good (but not what I expected. Thought I'd get Klezmer-it's more bluegrass/country/rock, with some Hebrew lyrics thrown in here and there...not that that's a bad thing, dug their set. Did a few Cover tunes, Wilco and Allman Brothers as well. And it was great to be out!)
	♥ 12:13pm WR: ↳ Song: "Tall Dark Haired Ladies" by "Matthew Killough" Matthew was the guest on Gina's Someday Matinee on Saturday: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:15pm spodiodi: good afternoon, Irene and all!

	🥁 ♥ 12:18pm chris in the redwoods: tis quite wet here as well. hello, Irene and everyone.
	♥ 12:18pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Brian in UK @12:03 Brian, and everybody, Sean is fine. His work schedule changed, so he's only able to catch up on archives. But I think he'll be here next week for my Christmas show.
	♥ 12:19pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @12:12 thanks for the concert report Doc. Amazing how active you are. Last night I went two blocks to go out to eat, but due to the starting of the rain, declined to go another block to the ATM. Fortunately I've paid in advance so don't need to feed $ into any meter to keep the electricity on and the music from WFMU streaming.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey all. Had a heck week last week, got a really late start today, re-arranging stuff so that I can do my mail run tomorrow not today in the rain.
	♥ 12:20pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:05 It's hard not to be friendly with Duck! He's a lovely person, very funny , and an amazing guitarist. There's an archived show I did with him a few years ago.
	♥ 12:21pm alanr: The sun is shining brightly into my living room windows. Sharing the rays of warmth with everyone, especially Irene. At least, you have power (I read about outages in NYC)
	12:22pm Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:20 good really wicked out there
	♥ 12:23pm WR: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:20 Duck Baker is a gem of a fellow. When I was more active on BaseBloop I followed him closely.
	12:23pm northguineahills: afternoon, all!
	♥ 12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:12 Eric Lindberg, of Nefesh Mountain, is quite the guitar player (and banjo as well).
	♥ 12:24pm alanr: In the early 2000s, at Tonic in NYC (RIP), Duck Baker teamed up with trombonist Roswell Rudd, and they improvised quite spontaneously through lots of familiar tunes. Two artists with a deep catalog of music knowledge and improvising skills. What a show. What a club!
	12:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:23 afternoon NGH still volunteering at the shelter?
	♥ 12:24pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @12:12 Glad you got to see them, doctorazz. Yeah, they're a bit more Bluegrass than you might think but still good.
	♥ 12:25pm Irene Trudel: Greetings, Bill, chris, Threemoons, Robm and n.g.h.
	12:26pm Robm: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:25 afternoon irene
	♥ 12:27pm Irene Trudel: ↳ WR @12:23 Duck has a heavy presence on Facebook. Lots of great posts and jokes!
	♥ 12:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:20 that's nice to hear, i knew bailey's wife karen, and through her i got that impression...
	12:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @12:24 no, but i will tonight...
	12:30pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:29 and that is the end of it all?
	♥ 12:33pm Michael 98145: Spent the evening watching the Willie Nelson 90th birthday concert on tv ...
	♥ 12:33pm tom tom the pipers son: hey there ngh...
	♥ 12:34pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @12:29 glad you are on the path to better things
	♥ 12:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ alanr @12:21 Yes, grateful to have power today. I woke up to a torrential rainstorm, which had blown down a dining shed on the avenue below. Haven't ventured outside (and probably won't later).
	12:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:33 what i'd do to see that in person...
	12:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:34 same frontal boundary/nor'easter hit us down here yesterday morning, and blew over three trees (from my vantage point).
	12:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @12:30 yep, then i'm just on call...
	♥ 12:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @12:34 huge concert in the Hollywood Bowl last April
	12:37pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:33 yope!
	12:39pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:36 hope they don’t call you too much then
	♥ 12:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there, Irene, and all other listeners!
	♥ 12:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @12:19 I wouldn't do it for myself, ahem, but I'm ready to take one for the team, brave that cold, rainy weather to provide those concert reports... ;- )
	♥ 12:40pm David (in London): Afternoon Irene and assembled Trudelians.
	♥ 12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:18 hiya, chris.

	🥁 ♥ 12:41pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:40 hiya, Andrew!
	♥ 12:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:39 Hey, doc!
	12:43pm northguineahills: johanna warren in gainesville, jan 9th, will alert my gainesville friends (oddly enough, i'll be in nyc by then).
	♥ 12:45pm Michael 98145: almost time to break out the Solstice songs and light the bonfires
	♥ 12:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Baby Don't Know What to Do with Herself" by "Rich... Have not listened before to the 90s Richard Thompson. This track sounds great, the CD is reasonably available, just when I am trying to stop buying physical media... another one on the list.
	♥ 12:46pm Irene Trudel: Hidey ho, David and Andrew!
	♥ 12:46pm WR: ↳ alanr @12:24 I should have got my self out to see Baker & Rudd at the Tonic. I think they did release a recording or two.
	♥ 12:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:41 Hi Andrew!
	♥ 12:48pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:45 I like that idea, Michael! Was gonna do it in our house yesterday but hadda clean first. Tonight for sure.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm TonyR: Our home Stonehenge is Spinal Tap-sized. Now to find some tiny pagans.
	🥁 ♥ 12:59pm TonyR: Happy Monday! Show is nice and loud, IT! (I mean that in a good way.)
	♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Narrow Bridge" by "Nefesh Mountain" They played this last night.
	♥ 1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Narrow Bridge" by "Nefesh Mountain" (Troubled Times was pretty much the theme of the set. No specific politics, though).
	♥ 1:06pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Nice song and sentiment.
	♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ alanr @12:24 I have a CD of Rudd and Baker playing (? this date? I'm at work, don't have it on me). It's a great CD!
	🥁 ♥ 1:11pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @12:43 Hey NGH! What's the latest haps RE job stuff? The move?
	1:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @1:11 tidying up some more HR stuff right now. Still set on the date Jan 3rd to come up.
	1:22pm Charles in Chicago: Hi Irene and Irenics. The music fits my mood perfectly today.
	♥ 1:24pm Irene Trudel: ↳ northguineahills @1:13 I'll bet you're eager to get here! Good luck!
	1:24pm Charles in Chicago: For anyone in the Chicago area, I highly recommend "Nightlights" at the Botanic Garden. I went last night and it was far better than I could have expected. It's up until Jan 7.
	1:24pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @1:13 Good for you, man!!
	♥ 1:26pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:22 Glad you're enjoying the music, Charles. And thanks for the recommendation to those in your area. Brooklyn Botanical Garden has their own version but it's only up until January 1st. www.bbg.org...
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm TonyR: ↳ alanr @12:08 Shit. Mondays are shit without Irene's sets. HTH!!!
	1:29pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Trettondedagsmarschen" by "Duck Baker" In the very early (90s) days of the Internet, I found an internet radio station live-streaming (in low-bitrate RealAudio format) from the research station at the South Pole. And they were playing Duck Baker, who I had never heard of before. So now I always associate Duck Baker with Antarctica, isn't that weird?
	♥ 1:29pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:26 The NY Botanical Garden in the Bronx has its own version, with a holiday train show through Jan 15. www.nybg.org
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:24 once I have the details of the move ready, I'll be eager. I'm still in mid-panic mode.
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:24 danks, charles!
	♥ 1:31pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:29 Wow, that's pretty amazing!
	♥ 1:31pm David (in London): ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:22 All hail the Count.
	1:31pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @1:31 David, my man!
	1:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Kodak Ghosts" by "Hawthonn" cool, chapman tribute...
	♥ 1:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:26 Here, as well ... www.zoo.org...
	1:43pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Song: "Summer's Fingers Sweetly Linger (Everywhere On Ev... I've been following Daniel Bachman since "Seven Pines" but have been a little afraid to check this record out after "Axacan" which was honestly just too dark for me. I think I like this one.
	♥ 1:46pm alanr: Have people on social media seen the flow of A.I.-generated LEGO toys, with themes of Boulez, Stockhausen and Fluxus yet? Well done ideas!
	♥ 1:48pm alanr: i spoke too soon.... add Mahler to the mix.
	1:50pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ alanr @1:46 But whose "ideas" are they?
	♥ 1:54pm alanr: no idea
	♥ 1:54pm fred: I had a stupid Covid scare today. Turned out to be nothing, but I know my boss' mother is old, so I wouldn't take that chance and took the day off to get properly tested
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @1:30 Any change can be panic inducing. Positive change even more so in a way! You got this!
	🥁 ♥ 1:55pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ alanr @1:46 Yes I have! Awesome stuff.
	1:55pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Summer's Fingers Sweetly Linger (Everywhere On Ev... I like it that Daniel Bachman has spoken out against the Mountain Valley Pipeline, other issues.
	1:57pm Dean: "Flow My Tears" was penned by John Dowland.
	♥ 1:58pm spodiodi: whoa
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: whoa
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: What just happened?
	1:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): That was funny
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: woke me up !!
	♥ 1:58pm WR: A drop to the auto stream just happened.
	1:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Do we call that a slipstream?
	2:03pm Dean: The Becca Stevens tune is titled "Flow in My Tears."
	♥ 2:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:58 hiya, spodi!
	2:05pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Dean @1:57 The policeman said...
	♥ 2:05pm spodiodi: what's good, Andrew?
	♥ 2:06pm alanr: wow....gorgeous!
	♥ 2:08pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @2:03 Good catch, Dean.
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm TonyR: ↳ WR @1:58 ....at a MUCH higher volume....
	♥ 2:09pm Irene Trudel: ↳ fred @1:54 Oh, glad it wasn't more serious, fred.
	♥ 2:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:59 Yep! I've been having a few glitches here and there.
	♥ 2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Skating in Central Park" by "Bill Evans/Jim Hall" Beautiful albums!
	♥ 2:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Riparian Love" by "Allison Miller" Been listening to this album, lovely! (Is she playing soon? I think she's in someone's band at the Village Vanguard; I see the Winter Jazz Festival is happening again, but the list of who's playing wasn't clear when I checked it).
	♥ 2:32pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @2:25 Unfortunately, she and the ensemble aren't playing locally -- New Orleans and Miami in January. But I'm sure they'll play again here soon.
	2:35pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Song: "Variables" by "Alfa Mist" If I buy all the records I hear on this show that I like, it will get expensive! Trying to convicne myself that I do NOT need "Finnish Primitive Guitar Vol. 4". And then you play this. (Are you listening, Santa?)
	♥ 2:35pm Michael 98145: Anyone making AI-generated Xmas cards this year ... ?
	2:35pm Stork: Hi Irene and Friends thereof! Coming in at the end to offer virtual HoHos. The virtual kind, not the snacks of dubious origin.
	🥁 ♥ 2:38pm TonyR: ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @2:35 Clicky-star your highlights then use that to go back later, look them up, and build playlists on streaming services. From there... as my Dad used to say, "If you shake it more than 3 times, you're playing with it."
	♥ 2:38pm doctorjazz: I NEED a jazz cruise...
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm TonyR: THanks for today's sets, Irene. Got me movin' on Monday to do stuff that needed doin'.
	2:39pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:38 And ships always need a doctor -on-duty!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: rock-n-roll
	2:42pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ TonyR @2:38 that would be a very reasonable thing to do but i'm kind of a vinyl junkie and the only streaming i do is listening to WFMU
	♥ 2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @2:39 Hey, Stork!
	♥ 2:43pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Stork @2:35 Hey, glad for the drop-in, Stork!
	2:44pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:42 Doc - i assume you are soaking up the joy of being released from quarantine!
	♥ 2:46pm WR: ↳ Song: "In Time" by "The Jefferson Airplane" From the days when one would normally listen to all or at least all of one side of an album. I should listen to this whole album and ponder people and events past.
	2:48pm TDK60: I haven't listened to Crown of Creation in a while. A fave. Edgy, sometimes dark. It's one of their best.
	2:49pm Stork: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:43 Great photo, as always, Irene!
	♥ 2:50pm Irene Trudel: Hey All! My time on the stream dwindles but I'll be back with my own style of Christmas show next Monday at noon. Do stay right here for Wendy del Formaggio and Wreck Your Own Adventure! wfmu.org...
	2:53pm northguineahills: merci bien pour a wonderous afrernoon, Irene!
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: ↳ WR @2:46 Agreed. I need to do that more often ..
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Irene and friends! Thanks for the plug and the link. I love the skyline photo on your playlist page.
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Irene.
	♥ 2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @2:44 It's great to be out of quarantine indeed! Celebrated with an outing last night to a concert in NYC (Nefesh Mountain-Irene played them earlier). I wasn't terribly ill, but I was going stir crazy...
	🥁 ♥ 2:56pm TonyR: ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @2:42 One house-move will cure you of THAT.
	2:56pm TDK60: Gracias, Irene.
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: Good health, Everyone.
	♥ 2:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:54 Weehawken Saturday night. A surprisingly beautiful view.
	♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ TonyR @2:56 I moved to Joisey years back, moved my records from Brooklyn. The movers were looking at me, muttering under their breath as they brought in the LPs (the boxes don't LOOK that heavy, but when you lift them...)
	2:58pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show, Irene.
	♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene, loved the show!
	♥ 2:59pm spodiodi: thanks, Irene! great show
	♥ 2:59pm WR: Thank you! Irene! Onward!
	🥁 ♥ 3:00pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irene!

Last night I went two blocks to go out to eat, but due to the starting of the rain, declined to go another block to the ATM. Fortunately I've paid in advance so don't need to feed $ into any meter to keep the electricity on and the music from WFMU streaming.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey all. Had a heck week last week, got a really late start today, re-arranging stuff so that I can do my mail run tomorrow not today in the rain.
	♥ 12:20pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:05 It's hard not to be friendly with Duck! He's a lovely person, very funny , and an amazing guitarist. There's an archived show I did with him a few years ago.
	♥ 12:21pm alanr: The sun is shining brightly into my living room windows. Sharing the rays of warmth with everyone, especially Irene. At least, you have power (I read about outages in NYC)
	12:22pm Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:20 good really wicked out there
	♥ 12:23pm WR: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:20 Duck Baker is a gem of a fellow. When I was more active on BaseBloop I followed him closely.
	12:23pm northguineahills: afternoon, all!
	♥ 12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:12 Eric Lindberg, of Nefesh Mountain, is quite the guitar player (and banjo as well).
	♥ 12:24pm alanr: In the early 2000s, at Tonic in NYC (RIP), Duck Baker teamed up with trombonist Roswell Rudd, and they improvised quite spontaneously through lots of familiar tunes. Two artists with a deep catalog of music knowledge and improvising skills. What a show. What a club!
	12:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:23 afternoon NGH still volunteering at the shelter?
	♥ 12:24pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @12:12 Glad you got to see them, doctorazz. Yeah, they're a bit more Bluegrass than you might think but still good.
	♥ 12:25pm Irene Trudel: Greetings, Bill, chris, Threemoons, Robm and n.g.h.
	12:26pm Robm: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:25 afternoon irene

	12:30pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:29 and that is the end of it all?
	♥ 12:33pm Michael 98145: Spent the evening watching the Willie Nelson 90th birthday concert on tv ...
	♥ 12:33pm tom tom the pipers son: hey there ngh...
	♥ 12:34pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @12:29 glad you are on the path to better things
	♥ 12:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ alanr @12:21 Yes, grateful to have power today. I woke up to a torrential rainstorm, which had blown down a dining shed on the avenue below. Haven't ventured outside (and probably won't later).
	12:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:33 what i'd do to see that in person...
	12:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:34 same frontal boundary/nor'easter hit us down here yesterday morning, and blew over three trees (from my vantage point).
	12:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @12:30 yep, then i'm just on call...
	♥ 12:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @12:34 huge concert in the Hollywood Bowl last April
	12:37pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:33 yope!
	12:39pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @12:36 hope they don’t call you too much then
	♥ 12:39pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there, Irene, and all other listeners!
	♥ 12:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @12:19 I wouldn't do it for myself, ahem, but I'm ready to take one for the team, brave that cold, rainy weather to provide those concert reports... ;- )
	♥ 12:40pm David (in London): Afternoon Irene and assembled Trudelians.
	♥ 12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:18 hiya, chris.

	12:43pm northguineahills: johanna warren in gainesville, jan 9th, will alert my gainesville friends (oddly enough, i'll be in nyc by then).
	♥ 12:45pm Michael 98145: almost time to break out the Solstice songs and light the bonfires
	♥ 12:45pm WR: ↳ Song: "Baby Don't Know What to Do with Herself" by "Rich... Have not listened before to the 90s Richard Thompson. This track sounds great, the CD is reasonably available, just when I am trying to stop buying physical media... another one on the list.
	♥ 12:46pm Irene Trudel: Hidey ho, David and Andrew!
	♥ 12:46pm WR: ↳ alanr @12:24 I should have got my self out to see Baker & Rudd at the Tonic. I think they did release a recording or two.
	♥ 12:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:41 Hi Andrew!
	♥ 12:48pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:45 I like that idea, Michael! Was gonna do it in our house yesterday but hadda clean first. Tonight for sure.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm TonyR: Our home Stonehenge is Spinal Tap-sized. Now to find some tiny pagans.
	🥁 ♥ 12:59pm TonyR: Happy Monday! Show is nice and loud, IT! (I mean that in a good way.)
	♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Narrow Bridge" by "Nefesh Mountain" They played this last night.
	♥ 1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Narrow Bridge" by "Nefesh Mountain" (Troubled Times was pretty much the theme of the set. No specific politics, though).
	♥ 1:06pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Nice song and sentiment.
	♥ 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ alanr @12:24 I have a CD of Rudd and Baker playing (? this date? I'm at work, don't have it on me). It's a great CD!
	🥁 ♥ 1:11pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @12:43 Hey NGH! What's the latest haps RE job stuff? The move?
	1:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @1:11 tidying up some more HR stuff right now. Still set on the date Jan 3rd to come up.
	1:22pm Charles in Chicago: Hi Irene and Irenics. The music fits my mood perfectly today.
	♥ 1:24pm Irene Trudel: ↳ northguineahills @1:13 I'll bet you're eager to get here! Good luck!
	1:24pm Charles in Chicago: For anyone in the Chicago area, I highly recommend "Nightlights" at the Botanic Garden. I went last night and it was far better than I could have expected. It's up until Jan 7.
	1:24pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @1:13 Good for you, man!!
	♥ 1:26pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:22 Glad you're enjoying the music, Charles. And thanks for the recommendation to those in your area. Brooklyn Botanical Garden has their own version but it's only up until January 1st. www.bbg.org...
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm TonyR: ↳ alanr @12:08 Shit. Mondays are shit without Irene's sets. HTH!!!
	1:29pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Trettondedagsmarschen" by "Duck Baker" In the very early (90s) days of the Internet, I found an internet radio station live-streaming (in low-bitrate RealAudio format) from the research station at the South Pole. And they were playing Duck Baker, who I had never heard of before. So now I always associate Duck Baker with Antarctica, isn't that weird?
	♥ 1:29pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:26 The NY Botanical Garden in the Bronx has its own version, with a holiday train show through Jan 15. www.nybg.org
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:24 once I have the details of the move ready, I'll be eager. I'm still in mid-panic mode.
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Charles in Chicago @1:24 danks, charles!

	♥ 1:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:26 Here, as well ... www.zoo.org...
	1:43pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Song: "Summer's Fingers Sweetly Linger (Everywhere On Ev... I've been following Daniel Bachman since "Seven Pines" but have been a little afraid to check this record out after "Axacan" which was honestly just too dark for me. I think I like this one.
	♥ 1:46pm alanr: Have people on social media seen the flow of A.I.-generated LEGO toys, with themes of Boulez, Stockhausen and Fluxus yet? Well done ideas!
	♥ 1:48pm alanr: i spoke too soon.... add Mahler to the mix.
	1:50pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ alanr @1:46 But whose "ideas" are they?
	♥ 1:54pm alanr: no idea
	♥ 1:54pm fred: I had a stupid Covid scare today. Turned out to be nothing, but I know my boss' mother is old, so I wouldn't take that chance and took the day off to get properly tested
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @1:30 Any change can be panic inducing. Positive change even more so in a way! You got this!
	🥁 ♥ 1:55pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ alanr @1:46 Yes I have! Awesome stuff.
	1:55pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Summer's Fingers Sweetly Linger (Everywhere On Ev... I like it that Daniel Bachman has spoken out against the Mountain Valley Pipeline, other issues.
	1:57pm Dean: "Flow My Tears" was penned by John Dowland.
	♥ 1:58pm spodiodi: whoa
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: whoa
	🥁 ♥ 1:58pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: What just happened?
	1:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): That was funny
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: woke me up !!
	♥ 1:58pm WR: A drop to the auto stream just happened.
	1:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Do we call that a slipstream?
	2:03pm Dean: The Becca Stevens tune is titled "Flow in My Tears."
	♥ 2:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:58 hiya, spodi!
	2:05pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Dean @1:57 The policeman said...
	♥ 2:05pm spodiodi: what's good, Andrew?
	♥ 2:06pm alanr: wow....gorgeous!
	♥ 2:08pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @2:03 Good catch, Dean.
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm TonyR: ↳ WR @1:58 ....at a MUCH higher volume....
	♥ 2:09pm Irene Trudel: ↳ fred @1:54 Oh, glad it wasn't more serious, fred.
	♥ 2:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:59 Yep! I've been having a few glitches here and there.
	♥ 2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Skating in Central Park" by "Bill Evans/Jim Hall" Beautiful albums!
	♥ 2:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Riparian Love" by "Allison Miller" Been listening to this album, lovely! (Is she playing soon? I think she's in someone's band at the Village Vanguard; I see the Winter Jazz Festival is happening again, but the list of who's playing wasn't clear when I checked it).
	♥ 2:32pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @2:25 Unfortunately, she and the ensemble aren't playing locally -- New Orleans and Miami in January. But I'm sure they'll play again here soon.
	2:35pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ Song: "Variables" by "Alfa Mist" If I buy all the records I hear on this show that I like, it will get expensive! Trying to convicne myself that I do NOT need "Finnish Primitive Guitar Vol. 4". And then you play this. (Are you listening, Santa?)
	♥ 2:35pm Michael 98145: Anyone making AI-generated Xmas cards this year ... ?
	2:35pm Stork: Hi Irene and Friends thereof! Coming in at the end to offer virtual HoHos. The virtual kind, not the snacks of dubious origin.
	🥁 ♥ 2:38pm TonyR: ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @2:35 Clicky-star your highlights then use that to go back later, look them up, and build playlists on streaming services. From there... as my Dad used to say, "If you shake it more than 3 times, you're playing with it."
	♥ 2:38pm doctorjazz: I NEED a jazz cruise...
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm TonyR: THanks for today's sets, Irene. Got me movin' on Monday to do stuff that needed doin'.
	2:39pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:38 And ships always need a doctor -on-duty!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: rock-n-roll
	2:42pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ TonyR @2:38 that would be a very reasonable thing to do but i'm kind of a vinyl junkie and the only streaming i do is listening to WFMU
	♥ 2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @2:39 Hey, Stork!
	♥ 2:43pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Stork @2:35 Hey, glad for the drop-in, Stork!
	2:44pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:42 Doc - i assume you are soaking up the joy of being released from quarantine!
	♥ 2:46pm WR: ↳ Song: "In Time" by "The Jefferson Airplane" From the days when one would normally listen to all or at least all of one side of an album. I should listen to this whole album and ponder people and events past.
	2:48pm TDK60: I haven't listened to Crown of Creation in a while. A fave. Edgy, sometimes dark. It's one of their best.
	2:49pm Stork: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:43 Great photo, as always, Irene!
	♥ 2:50pm Irene Trudel: Hey All! My time on the stream dwindles but I'll be back with my own style of Christmas show next Monday at noon. Do stay right here for Wendy del Formaggio and Wreck Your Own Adventure! wfmu.org...
	2:53pm northguineahills: merci bien pour a wonderous afrernoon, Irene!
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: ↳ WR @2:46 Agreed. I need to do that more often ..
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Irene and friends! Thanks for the plug and the link. I love the skyline photo on your playlist page.
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Irene.
	♥ 2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @2:44 It's great to be out of quarantine indeed! Celebrated with an outing last night to a concert in NYC (Nefesh Mountain-Irene played them earlier). I wasn't terribly ill, but I was going stir crazy...
	🥁 ♥ 2:56pm TonyR: ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @2:42 One house-move will cure you of THAT.
	2:56pm TDK60: Gracias, Irene.
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: Good health, Everyone.
	♥ 2:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:54 Weehawken Saturday night. A surprisingly beautiful view.
	♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ TonyR @2:56 I moved to Joisey years back, moved my records from Brooklyn. The movers were looking at me, muttering under their breath as they brought in the LPs (the boxes don't LOOK that heavy, but when you lift them...)
	2:58pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show, Irene.
	♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene, loved the show!
	♥ 2:59pm spodiodi: thanks, Irene! great show
