	3:43pm Eric: I'm supposed to choose which genre of music I want to listen to first before I can actually hear any music, right?
	3:44pm Claw!: Nice mashup, Man!
	3:45pm Dean: The sickest thing about this mashup is that a former member of King Crimson plays on it.
	3:45pm SeanG: smokin'
	3:46pm common: yip!
	3:47pm Dean: Shoot, for a second there I thought this "Xica" was gonna be another mashup with "Don't Fear the Reaper."

	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reading Moondog wigkey: en.wikipedia.org... - & noting his affinity for Native American music - atlho' if I didn't know that, I'd call what I just heard Medieval or Renaissance flavor like something by Dead Can Dance...

	4:33pm Dean: I see that Dan Bodah played a Gregorio Paniagua track following a Moondog track on 2/14/14: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/54493 This music and RRN63's comment above brought to mind Paniagua and, in particular, his series of Harmonia Mundi recordings recreating early musics.
	4:33pm darue: Gygg? GoT theme slightly ;-)
	4:41pm common: his music makes me so happy. he really was a genius.

	4:57pm northguineahills: Yep, that's proto-Glass right there!
	4:57pm Jeff: I'm thinking I've probably heard lots of Moondog and not even known it.
	4:58pm Claw!: This is my favorite Moondog song. :) It makes me think of old cartoons working on a fast-moving assembly line. It's like a better "Powerhouse."
	4:59pm Irwin: Charlie Parker might be on this session; personnel are largely unknown.
	4:59pm common: wow, irwin! love this one! and good call, claw!
	5:01pm Greg from Bloomfield: Right on, Claw! Oh my God I love this so much.

	5:20pm marvin: The best French productions of Moondog are currently being done by the great Minisym ensemble: https://minisym.bandcamp.com/
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reminded of Robert Wyatt for a second...
	5:42pm TDK60: I still have the 1953 10-inch 'Moondog and His Friends'. Scratchy but it still plays; and the version of 'Theme and Variations' is simply hypnotic.
	5:56pm Claw!: What an excellent program! Thanks, Irwin and Robert!
	5:57pm Listening Out There: Great interview & thanks...
	6:16pm Katya Oddio: Yay!
	6:29pm P-90: Felt compelled to come back just to post my opinion that this was a BRILLIANT show! An exemplary specimen of everything WFMU can be. Thanks, Irwin, Rbert Scotto, and Moondog.
	8:22pm paul: I am getting this program in segments which repeat, which is all very lovely but it's doing my head In!
	9:02pm paul: Sorted!
	11:42am WakkaWakka: Kinda just wanted to hear the full show, but all I could get from the MP3 players was the beginning of the songs, cutoff and repeating the same sample....
	11:54am WakkaWakka: Could you please upload the moondog show as a podcast?! Pretty please with stardust on top?!
	11:57am Irwin: You're having buffering problems, Wakka, but there's nothing wrong with the archived audio. It's your internet connection. Try again later. We can't release the show as a podcast because it contains copyright-protected music.
