Listener comments!
	♥ 6:04pm Dan S: I don't envy this show, having to follow "Every Sperm is Sacred." :-) But you two are making a valiant effort!
	♥ 6:04pm Count d'Al Dente: "You may already be a wiener"
	🎻 ♥ 6:05pm AMYGDALA: Mornin', afternoon, or evenin' to Carol, Cullan and to one and all! I liked the clever file name for the messy room pic... "Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of_Copy_of__......" Nice!
	6:09pm ViolaChica: Glad we delivered AMYGDALA on being one hot number today! Greetings everyone and thanks for the empathy following the sperm.
	🎻 ♥ 6:13pm Mama 💜: I'm so 😁!
	♥ 6:13pm Hunterian: ↳ Dan S @6:04 HA!
	♥ 6:13pm Count d'Al Dente: I was just thinking the other day, how Eric Dolphy is on a tangent of sorts with JS Bach, what with his somewhat playful bouncing around on the scales, a kind of back-and-forth.
	♥ 6:13pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "J.S. Bach: Keyboard Concerto No.1 in D Minor BWV ... Dang, I love me some early music. Good evening Carol, Cullan, and everyone.
	♥ 6:16pm joe mulligan: Carol is right, you know, WFMU listeners don't normally listen to this stuff
	♥ 6:24pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Count d'Al Dente @6:13 Part of my practice routine is the synthetic scales that Erioc Dolphy developed. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he did that. Applying them is another story.
	6:25pm Matt from OK: It is really great to hear Penderecki conducting his own compositions on the radio… I have most of his works and recordings on CD & Vinyl. But all CDs are Witt conducting, and I rarely dig into the CDs anymore.
	🎻 ♥ 6:26pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "K. Penderecki: Polymorphia" by "Warsaw Philharmon... Glad i could wear the headphones for this.
	6:28pm ViolaChica: Hi Mama 💘
	♥ 6:28pm Pianoman: ↳ Matt from OK @6:25 Hi Matt, we have played usually the composer conducting himself, but the present recording is of Wit. We think he is fabulous.
	♥ 6:30pm Count d'Al Dente: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:24 I met two jazz students from Berkeley School who explained exactly what Dolphy was doing and how, but I couldn't remember it.
	🎻 ♥ 6:31pm Mama 💜: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:13 Unbelievably fabulous!
	🎻 ♥ 6:31pm Mama 💜: Oops! Oh well, sorry Peter. I meant to just post
	♥ 6:32pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "K. Penderecki: Polymorphia" by "Warsaw Philharmon... this is intense and scary as hell and I love it. another part that makes WFMU perfect
	♥ 6:35pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Count d'Al Dente @6:30 At first, I thought there was one universal synthetic formation one could apply anywhere. Now I think there are multiple synthetic formations. Any insight would be appreciated.
	♥ 6:35pm everyone∅))): listening. ...they all suck. musky just sucks harder.
	♥ 6:36pm mojo61: It sounds like the final moment of "A Day In The Life" suite.
	♥ 6:38pm mojo61: Maybe that's where George Martin heard it. ??
	♥ 6:39pm Mark T: hello eveeryone
	♥ 6:39pm ashestoashes: Either my dinner guests are going to be very cool and love this music along with me or they are going to hit the road. Either way, I'm committed to WFMU, I'll let you know how it turns out.
	♥ 6:40pm Pianoman: ↳ ashestoashes @6:39 rofl
	♥ 6:41pm coelacanth∅))): did Conlon use sped-up tape for parts of this?
	♥ 6:41pm coelacanth∅))): ...or a toy piano?
	♥ 6:44pm The Butterman: ↳ ashestoashes @6:39 Some of my guests generally can’t handle anything on WFMU! This is crazy btw. Love it.
	6:45pm Dean: 1750 Arch Street is a space north of the UC Berkeley campus. It once belonged to Thomas Buckner, whom I heard interviewed there not too many years ago. I believe this recording has been issued by Music & Arts, which is a Berkeley label that I admire.
	6:47pm Dean: 1750 Arch is now the home of CNMAT, a very cool new music program connected to the Berkeley campus.
	6:47pm wimpy: Ive been learning how to play this on my sax after I realized the coda is what plays when Popeye eats his spinach lol
	6:51pm Dean: Nancarrow did what any sensible speed metal proponent would do. He programmed player pianos to deliver the superhuman virtuosity his music entailed.
	♥ 6:53pm coelacanth∅))): ↳ coelacanth∅))) @6:41 some of the notes sounded higher than any notes on a piano. i've gotten a very similar sound speeding up tapes of me playing a piano.
	6:53pm Dean: Take that, Eddie Van Halen.
	6:55pm Dean: There's no fiddling with the tape speeds on these Nancarrow recordings." What you get is what you get.
	♥ 6:55pm coelacanth∅))): dumbass, in a gadda da vita's 17 minutes!
	♥ 6:57pm Mark T: It’s like an Abbott and Costello routine
	🎻 ♥ 6:58pm AMYGDALA: * ha... "that sinking feeling, this is gonna go on for an hour!"
	7:00pm Annie F: phat
	♥ 7:01pm Hunterian: 7pm—Hour of the Burning Bridges. Also, Andy has to come on the show now.
	♥ 7:03pm Hunterian: Best station ID, ever
	7:04pm P-90: Professor Shikele!
	🎻 ♥ 7:05pm chresti: Hi Carol and Cullan and dead people music show!
	7:10pm Nick From Paterson: During his WNYC broadcast, Professor Schickele once credited a published work thusly: "- the preceding was arranged by the father of my wife's daughter's brother.."
	♥ 7:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "P.D.Q. Bach: Schleptet" by "Peter Schickele" Deadicated to Bad Luck Schleprock?
	7:12pm Noralee Walker: HEY!
	🎻 ♥ 7:12pm AMYGDALA: ↳ AMYGDALA @6:58 *** pardon Carol & Cullan... sorry I messed up; that was a ref. to Andy saying: "that sinking feeling, this is gonna go on for an hour!" ...regarding the length of the much ballyhooed operas and symphonies [which cracked me up, as Andy always does] I promise, it wasn't a commentary on your much-adored dialogue. Signed, Amygdala
	7:17pm ViolaChica: AMYGDALA — oh I got you! I didn’t think for a second. Hi Noralee! Hi Chresti…and all friends!
	🎻 ♥ 7:20pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "J.S. Bach: Minuet No. 1 BWV 809" by "Andre Benich... OK, this number gets me to take back all the praise I heaped on this show. ;-)
	7:20pm Annie F: “Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.” - Charles Mingus
	🎻 ♥ 7:20pm Listener Robert: ↳ Listener Robert @7:20 Looks like Mr. Bryant agrees!
	7:27pm I care: quite lovely singing
	7:30pm P-90: “Who’s Gregory Peccary”?!
	7:31pm Noralee Walker: Miss you, too!! We’ll have to do something about that. :)
	7:31pm ViolaChica: P-90 — it’s hard being a classical nerd hehe
	7:31pm Noralee Walker: Fun show!
	7:34pm danny san: ,,,No bs ,, fine selection of originality . Much appreciated .
	♥ 7:46pm Barry P.: HI Carol, Cullan, and all. Is it Hunchwomen's History Month again?
	♥ 7:54pm Maulydaft: No we're still here - that was great!
	♥ 7:55pm Barry P.: No need to clicky-star a track I already love.
	7:56pm P-90: We assume that Carol has heard the work of classical composers like Alban Berg, so even if this was her first time hearing “Gregory Peccary,” nothing in it would be musically unfamiliar…
	7:57pm Barbaric Yawp: One of my fav shows! Loved this week!
	♥ 7:58pm Mark T: You guys have a great show and fun personalities. Thanks Bring on Suzy!!
	🎻 ♥ 7:58pm chresti: I like Ruben and the Jets!
	🎻 ♥ 7:59pm AMYGDALA: I attended a theatrical performance devoted entirely to puns; it was a really well-performed play on words! Fun show C&C - many thanks! Best wishes to one and all for a super week ahead!
	♥ 7:59pm Count d'Al Dente: Ciao!
	🎻 ♥ 7:59pm chresti: Thanks C&C!
