	8:06pm JakeGould: @Galord: Your playlist from July 2018 ya big dummy! wfmu.org...

	8:07pm Gaylord Fields: @Corey: I concur re LB.
	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Alison Porchnik: I do understand.
	8:11pm coelacanth∅: good evening Gaylord and all
	8:11pm medson: Good evening Gaylord & everyone. Great opening set
	8:12pm Gaylord Fields: @medson: Thanks!
	8:12pm Little Danny: Howdy Gaylord (and coel and chresti and melinda)
	8:12pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth∅: Good evening to you!
	8:15pm unpopularfred: That glitch started out very musically, almost as if intentional.
	8:15pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Danny
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: There's always a point when you have to decide how long you want it to glitch out, and I think I went slightly longer than I should have.
	8:18pm coelacanth∅: the glitch needed something...background vox; a clarinet solo...something.
	8:18pm twinoak170: Good evening Gaylord and WFMU family!
	8:19pm JakeGould: I once slept over at someone’s place whose roommate was a noise musician. I asked him about CD digital-to-analog conversions and glitches and boy howdy… Anyway, glitches are to be embraced until they bite you.
	8:20pm Gaylord Fields: @twinoak170: Good evening!
	8:23pm dmart New Mexico: Saudade indeed. Beautiful set! Sad day.
	8:25pm unpopularfred: Well, like I said "started out" and "almost." That would have been quite a mid-song genre shift.
	8:26pm TDK60: Hello. this Claire C. just jumped the WFMU Charts big.
	8:27pm Gaylord Fields: @dmart New Mexico: Yes, "saudade" is the word of the day, alas.
	8:28pm Gaylord Fields: @TDK60: I'm not sure what that is or what that means, I must admit.
	8:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Gaylord and assembly. Condolences on the loss of a WFMU family member today.
	8:29pm TDK60: DJ GF- my own personal WFMU Charts, heh.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Exactly. A death in the family is just what I and others I've been in contact with are feeling.
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @TDK60: Ah, I see. Toppermost of the TDK60 poppermost.
	8:32pm Carmichael: Heya Gaylord and superior music listeners.
	8:35pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Heya!
	8:35pm Julie: yes that Claire was lovely
	8:36pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: How ya holding up, dear friend?
	8:42pm Julie: worst goddam day of the week times infinity
	8:43pm joe mulligan: "Caledonia" is a very fitting goodbye song for X-Ray. whenever Jonesy and X-Ray played the bagpipes as talkover bed, I knew they were respectful and brave souls with enough humor about death that it made me a little misty eyed to know such kindred spirits - even though they had their own paths in life.
	8:43pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: I'm glad I have an outlet to work out emotion tonight.
	8:44pm sweet cheri: hey grand Gaylord and gang, it's really so wonderful to be here every sunday night, I take great pride and pleasure each week serving you, grand Gaylord!!!
	8:44pm Carmichael: Jesus Julie, did someone kick you In the face?
	8:45pm Gaylord Fields: @joe mulligan: That was precisely my intention and motivation in choosing it. Thanks for your eloquence and sympathy.
	8:46pm Julie: No Carmichael, that is quote from Glen Jones's show, and I am just sad. Perhaps a kick in the face might help though.
	8:48pm joe mulligan: @Gaylord Love all you guys, you bring a lot of happiness to so many people!
	8:49pm davefromtoronto: wow i'm so bummed about X-ray - that dude convinced me he was immortal. well, he is around here. RIP!
	8:49pm Julie: and now the kinks with harpischord sighhh
	8:49pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: I had you in mind when I chose this, for obvious reasons.
	8:50pm Julie: Thank you, Gaylord ❤️
	8:51pm twinoak170: Well said Joe M.
	8:51pm coelacanth∅: my favorite Charles Brown song, maybe
	8:53pm Marc Francis: Howdy Gaylord! Howdy gang! <3
	8:54pm Little Danny: This and "Black Night," coel! Mr. Brown definitely went bleak
	8:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: ❤️
	8:54pm sweet cheri: so grand Gaylord and Julie, it REALLY is wonderful to see you both!!
	8:55pm sufferwords: Thanks Gaylord, without saying a word your intent is clear and fitting of this momentous day in the WFMU family
	8:56pm Julie: good to see you too, Cheri!
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @sufferwords: I don't have the words tonight, but I do have the music.
	8:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: CB was evidently not a barrel of cheer.
	8:57pm Julie: I don't think I've EVER seen you play an hour-long set. You're always right there at the half hour mark.
	8:57pm Carmichael: @Julie, you are YOU and they are them, so opinions don’t really matter. Keep being wonderful you.
	8:58pm sufferwords: peace
	8:58pm Carmichael: I just saw the Fred Rogers bio on PBS last night. It’s a very uplifting show.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Actually, daveintoronto, it's Jonesy who gives me that "immortality" vibe. 15 years ago, you'd've had to give odds on Burnsy outlasting him. Eh, I gather they BOTH lived life good & hard.
	8:59pm sweet cheri: how's life been treating you, Julie?
	8:59pm Marc Francis: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	8:59pm maggiemaggie: Can't believe x.ray is gone.
	9:00pm Carmichael: Son of a bitch. Love you, X Ray.
	9:00pm Julie: cheri it is unpredictable for sure. @carmichael you've misunderstood. I was merely paying tribute to our lost friend.
	9:00pm listener 126464: stopped in front of 30 Webster earlier today to spill out a little for the FMU crew.
	9:02pm melinda: This is beautiful.
	9:02pm Carmichael: I understand now, thanks. The circle gets one person tighter.
	9:08pm sweet cheri: julie, when will your next fill in show be?
	9:09pm Gaylord Fields: @ Marc Francis: Thanks! We can definitely use that today here at WFMU.
	9:11pm RobinSays: This Verlaine song is beautiful. When did his Around album come out?
	9:12pm Andy the painter: just tuning in now. i love this solo verlaine stuff. one of my favorite guitarists. does anyone know if he has done score/soundtrack work?
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: @RobinSays: It was released in 2006.
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: Danny yes, "black night" is up my alley. -but then there's "merry christmas baby", so i guess he lifted his face out of the tannin water occasionally
	9:13pm Andy the painter: texted my twenty year old son re X-ray. he and his brother grew up hearing him during drives to and from soccer matches. sunday’s will not be the same.
	9:15pm RobinSays: Lovely segue into the Mono track, Gaylord. Your DJ talents are superb:)
	9:16pm Gaylord Fields: @RobinSays: Thanks; I appreciate the compliment.
	9:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Andy the painter: Thanks for sharing your family connection to our family.
	9:18pm Carmichael: So, the big question is, who will wear the FMU kilt?
	9:18pm Listener Schned: Thank you Gaylord, for the fine comment in re the passing of X-Ray. I know you had had certain tensions with the old-school dj's when you started out. Your graciousness is prized, as is your standard of progamming each week- "good night and God bless"
	9:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: I think we all do, in our own unique style, from here on.
	9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Gaylord. I'm late because I was listening to today's Glen Jones archive (I missed the live broadcast). My heart is very sad. X Ray was one of the people I was especially looking forward to seeing at the marathon. Please accept my condolences. I know WFMU is a small family and losing one is hard. May his memory forever be a blessing
	9:20pm sweet cheri: grand Gaylord, I hope I don't get into any trouble for saying this, but you're the sweetest dee jay for letting me hang out every sunday night, and I thank you for that, grand Gaylord!!
	9:21pm listener 126464: awww
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Listener Schned: Thanks, but I have no idea of what tensions you're referring to. I've had zero conflict with any group here ever. And I am one of the old-school DJ's (I started at WFMU in 1992). Feel free to let me know what you mean offlist in an email.
	9:22pm Andy the painter: @gaylord....yeah. the station has always been present in our family. and when i work there, i feel like i’m home, as well.
	9:22pm coelacanth∅: that archive went up very quickly today; but i thought i'd better wait.
	9:22pm adampsyche: :(
	9:23pm Marc Francis: Sunday Will Never Be the Same.
	9:23pm Julie: Wow Gaylord I've actually been listening longer than you've been on the air. Do you know how far back Jones & X-Ray go back?
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: i was hoping someone would pay this song
	9:23pm El Pierogie: Oh, jeez. Now I’m crying
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Julie: Glen said today they've been on the air together since 1988.
	9:24pm Julie: Wow I can't even form a coherent sentence.
	9:24pm steveL: Thanks, Gaylord.
	9:24pm queems: this is so sad
	9:24pm Gaylord Fields: @sweet cheri: Thanks for the flattery. You're always welcome here, even if you don't bring the sweet talk.
	9:25pm Julie: @Wendy thank you. I haven't listened to today's show yet. that's gonna be hard.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: someone on Samantha's playlist said X-Ray came on board in the mid-80s, but i doubt that. Glen Jones (before being called Jonesy) came on around '86 and it was a few years before X-Ray joined him...as i remember it anyway.
	9:26pm Gaylord Fields: That version of "Sunday..." kinda startled me, too.
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Julie: You're welcome, my friend. I wanted to hear it for myself, which may not have been the best idea for my heart, since it broke and broke again during Glen's mic breaks, and when he played certain songs. I have gone through a lot of tissues today.
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: (or...what Wendy said @ 9.23)
	9:27pm doug: ‘86 for Glen. X.Ray hopped on in ‘88
	9:33pm El Pierogie: Glen and X Ray were cracking me up back when I was in high school, and I’m not a young man. I don’t care about the exact date, I just know they’ve been there every Sunday through good times and bad for freaking decades.
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: the chords sound like "epitaph" by king crimson
	9:34pm Julie: okay now I'm crying
	9:36pm Scott Williams: As horrible as the news today was, at least we heard it from Glen, on the show, with love, humor, irreverence, and the impeccable timing that we can hope was X-Ray's final piece of agency in how he chose to live (and depart) his very full life
	9:36pm Marc Francis: I've heard 50,000 people sing this song before. One person or many, it always slays me...
	9:37pm listener 126464: nice Scott
	9:37pm joe mulligan: Amen Scott!
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Scott: A beautiful statement. Well said, my friend.
	9:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Scott Williams: It was the one saving grace of this whole awful affair.
	9:42pm El Pierogie: @Scott: True!
	9:43pm Dean: I tend to randomly drop into WFMU on some days at some times. Just did so. Wish I hadn't. What shocking, sad news. I'm so sorry for the entire WFMU community (for lack of a better word just now). Peace, all.
	9:44pm TDK60: ..great special show, Gaylord; to those in loss..
	9:44pm Scott Williams: Jones did a beautiful job of saying goodbye to his best friend in public, and Gaylord, you're doing a beautiful job of expressing what we're all trying to make sense of. And Wendy, I look very forward to seeing you at the Marathon!
	9:44pm Michael 98145: so sorry. { i just decided i cannot punish myself by watching more of the grammys - as much as i want to like Alicia Keys }
	9:45pm Michael 98145: thank you, WFMU
	9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Scott. I look forward to seeing you, too! And Julie and Gaylord and... it's like Romper Room and I'm looking through my magic mirror. :-)
	9:47pm Chop Scott: Very well said Brother Scott W.
	9:48pm Julie: Yes such a wonderful show, Gaylord. Thank you.
	9:48pm twinoak170: I had the Grammy’s on briefly, my heart is here.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @ Wendy del Formaggio: A proper hello to you.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Thank you Gaylord, wonderful show
	9:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: z ray will be solely missed I
	9:51pm twinoak170: I love this so much.
	9:51pm Michael 98145: yes
	9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Gaylord: A hello and a hug to you.
	9:53pm Marc Francis: This song...
	9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Crying again...
	9:54pm Carmichael: This is the time for everyone to smile and remember a great moment. A time for love. I love all of you.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: Thanks!
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Much obliged.
	9:55pm Chop Scott: Thank you for this evening Gaylord.
	9:56pm Kym: What a gorgeous show. There has been so much beauty on this station today. it makes the tears a little less bitter and a little more sweet.
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, everyone, for listening to my musical impressionistic painting of our departed brother.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: Yay Curtis!
	9:57pm Corey: Thank you Gaylord for the beautiful memoriam show. I'm relatively new to WFMU, but deeply appreciate the sense of community and family that this station inspires. Special station, special people. My condolences to everybody.
	9:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Kym: Thank you.
	9:57pm listener 126464: i'm on board with Kym. Thanks so much Gaylord.
	9:57pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Just got the latest. Will get more. Many thanks from one Ray to another for positive radio vibes. Total love to all in this lovely family.
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gaylord. Beautiful program. (to reiterate) Love to all who knew X-Ray personally, especially.
	9:58pm Marc Francis: Thank you Gaylord. Thanks gang.
	9:59pm Tommy in Neversink: I think I will miss X-Ray so much because him and Glenn had a half talk, half music show . They were a presences in my home on Sunday afternoon for 20 years. So I feel like I kind of know him ..like he was guest in my house every week . Sunday really won't be the same
	9:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Gaylord. Take care.
	9:59pm twinoak170: Gaylord, that you.
	5:45pm frenchee: Gaylord, what a wonderful, beautiful show. I couldn't even post during, but today is slightly less teary and you did a grand send-off.
	12:40pm Booz: Roll on. This show is a goddam gorgeous diagonal portrait. Thanks Gaylord. (Thanks X-Ray.)
	6:00pm Mike East: Thank you for the tribute, Gaylord.

	8:54pm sweet cheri: so grand Gaylord and Julie, it REALLY is wonderful to see you both!!
	8:55pm sufferwords: Thanks Gaylord, without saying a word your intent is clear and fitting of this momentous day in the WFMU family
	8:56pm Julie: good to see you too, Cheri!
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @sufferwords: I don't have the words tonight, but I do have the music.
	8:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: CB was evidently not a barrel of cheer.
	8:57pm Julie: I don't think I've EVER seen you play an hour-long set. You're always right there at the half hour mark.
	8:57pm Carmichael: @Julie, you are YOU and they are them, so opinions don’t really matter. Keep being wonderful you.
	8:58pm sufferwords: peace
	8:58pm Carmichael: I just saw the Fred Rogers bio on PBS last night. It’s a very uplifting show.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Actually, daveintoronto, it's Jonesy who gives me that "immortality" vibe. 15 years ago, you'd've had to give odds on Burnsy outlasting him. Eh, I gather they BOTH lived life good & hard.
	8:59pm sweet cheri: how's life been treating you, Julie?
	8:59pm Marc Francis: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	8:59pm maggiemaggie: Can't believe x.ray is gone.
	9:00pm Carmichael: Son of a bitch. Love you, X Ray.
	9:00pm Julie: cheri it is unpredictable for sure. @carmichael you've misunderstood. I was merely paying tribute to our lost friend.
	9:00pm listener 126464: stopped in front of 30 Webster earlier today to spill out a little for the FMU crew.
	9:02pm melinda: This is beautiful.
	9:02pm Carmichael: I understand now, thanks. The circle gets one person tighter.
	9:08pm sweet cheri: julie, when will your next fill in show be?
	9:09pm Gaylord Fields: @ Marc Francis: Thanks! We can definitely use that today here at WFMU.
	9:11pm RobinSays: This Verlaine song is beautiful. When did his Around album come out?
	9:12pm Andy the painter: just tuning in now. i love this solo verlaine stuff. one of my favorite guitarists. does anyone know if he has done score/soundtrack work?
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: @RobinSays: It was released in 2006.
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: Danny yes, "black night" is up my alley. -but then there's "merry christmas baby", so i guess he lifted his face out of the tannin water occasionally
	9:13pm Andy the painter: texted my twenty year old son re X-ray. he and his brother grew up hearing him during drives to and from soccer matches. sunday’s will not be the same.
	9:15pm RobinSays: Lovely segue into the Mono track, Gaylord. Your DJ talents are superb:)
	9:16pm Gaylord Fields: @RobinSays: Thanks; I appreciate the compliment.
	9:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Andy the painter: Thanks for sharing your family connection to our family.
	9:18pm Carmichael: So, the big question is, who will wear the FMU kilt?
	9:18pm Listener Schned: Thank you Gaylord, for the fine comment in re the passing of X-Ray. I know you had had certain tensions with the old-school dj's when you started out. Your graciousness is prized, as is your standard of progamming each week- "good night and God bless"
	9:18pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: I think we all do, in our own unique style, from here on.
	9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Gaylord. I'm late because I was listening to today's Glen Jones archive (I missed the live broadcast). My heart is very sad. X Ray was one of the people I was especially looking forward to seeing at the marathon. Please accept my condolences. I know WFMU is a small family and losing one is hard. May his memory forever be a blessing
	9:20pm sweet cheri: grand Gaylord, I hope I don't get into any trouble for saying this, but you're the sweetest dee jay for letting me hang out every sunday night, and I thank you for that, grand Gaylord!!
	9:21pm listener 126464: awww
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Listener Schned: Thanks, but I have no idea of what tensions you're referring to. I've had zero conflict with any group here ever. And I am one of the old-school DJ's (I started at WFMU in 1992). Feel free to let me know what you mean offlist in an email.
	9:22pm Andy the painter: @gaylord....yeah. the station has always been present in our family. and when i work there, i feel like i’m home, as well.
	9:22pm coelacanth∅: that archive went up very quickly today; but i thought i'd better wait.
	9:22pm adampsyche: :(
	9:23pm Marc Francis: Sunday Will Never Be the Same.
	9:23pm Julie: Wow Gaylord I've actually been listening longer than you've been on the air. Do you know how far back Jones & X-Ray go back?
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: i was hoping someone would pay this song
	9:23pm El Pierogie: Oh, jeez. Now I’m crying
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Julie: Glen said today they've been on the air together since 1988.
	9:24pm Julie: Wow I can't even form a coherent sentence.
	9:24pm steveL: Thanks, Gaylord.
	9:24pm queems: this is so sad
	9:24pm Gaylord Fields: @sweet cheri: Thanks for the flattery. You're always welcome here, even if you don't bring the sweet talk.
	9:25pm Julie: @Wendy thank you. I haven't listened to today's show yet. that's gonna be hard.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: someone on Samantha's playlist said X-Ray came on board in the mid-80s, but i doubt that. Glen Jones (before being called Jonesy) came on around '86 and it was a few years before X-Ray joined him...as i remember it anyway.
	9:26pm Gaylord Fields: That version of "Sunday..." kinda startled me, too.
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Julie: You're welcome, my friend. I wanted to hear it for myself, which may not have been the best idea for my heart, since it broke and broke again during Glen's mic breaks, and when he played certain songs. I have gone through a lot of tissues today.
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: (or...what Wendy said @ 9.23)
	9:27pm doug: ‘86 for Glen. X.Ray hopped on in ‘88
	9:33pm El Pierogie: Glen and X Ray were cracking me up back when I was in high school, and I’m not a young man. I don’t care about the exact date, I just know they’ve been there every Sunday through good times and bad for freaking decades.
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: the chords sound like "epitaph" by king crimson
	9:34pm Julie: okay now I'm crying
	9:36pm Scott Williams: As horrible as the news today was, at least we heard it from Glen, on the show, with love, humor, irreverence, and the impeccable timing that we can hope was X-Ray's final piece of agency in how he chose to live (and depart) his very full life
	9:36pm Marc Francis: I've heard 50,000 people sing this song before. One person or many, it always slays me...
	9:37pm listener 126464: nice Scott
	9:37pm joe mulligan: Amen Scott!
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Scott: A beautiful statement. Well said, my friend.
	9:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Scott Williams: It was the one saving grace of this whole awful affair.
	9:42pm El Pierogie: @Scott: True!
	9:43pm Dean: I tend to randomly drop into WFMU on some days at some times. Just did so. Wish I hadn't. What shocking, sad news. I'm so sorry for the entire WFMU community (for lack of a better word just now). Peace, all.
	9:44pm TDK60: ..great special show, Gaylord; to those in loss..
	9:44pm Scott Williams: Jones did a beautiful job of saying goodbye to his best friend in public, and Gaylord, you're doing a beautiful job of expressing what we're all trying to make sense of. And Wendy, I look very forward to seeing you at the Marathon!
	9:44pm Michael 98145: so sorry. { i just decided i cannot punish myself by watching more of the grammys - as much as i want to like Alicia Keys }
	9:45pm Michael 98145: thank you, WFMU
	9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Scott. I look forward to seeing you, too! And Julie and Gaylord and... it's like Romper Room and I'm looking through my magic mirror. :-)
	9:47pm Chop Scott: Very well said Brother Scott W.
	9:48pm Julie: Yes such a wonderful show, Gaylord. Thank you.
	9:48pm twinoak170: I had the Grammy’s on briefly, my heart is here.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @ Wendy del Formaggio: A proper hello to you.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Thank you Gaylord, wonderful show
	9:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: z ray will be solely missed I
	9:51pm twinoak170: I love this so much.
	9:51pm Michael 98145: yes
	9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Gaylord: A hello and a hug to you.
	9:53pm Marc Francis: This song...
	9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Crying again...
	9:54pm Carmichael: This is the time for everyone to smile and remember a great moment. A time for love. I love all of you.
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: Thanks!
	9:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Much obliged.
	9:55pm Chop Scott: Thank you for this evening Gaylord.
	9:56pm Kym: What a gorgeous show. There has been so much beauty on this station today. it makes the tears a little less bitter and a little more sweet.
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, everyone, for listening to my musical impressionistic painting of our departed brother.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: Yay Curtis!
	9:57pm Corey: Thank you Gaylord for the beautiful memoriam show. I'm relatively new to WFMU, but deeply appreciate the sense of community and family that this station inspires. Special station, special people. My condolences to everybody.
	9:57pm Gaylord Fields: @Kym: Thank you.
	9:57pm listener 126464: i'm on board with Kym. Thanks so much Gaylord.
	9:57pm el Garee Rayo le Bee~: Just got the latest. Will get more. Many thanks from one Ray to another for positive radio vibes. Total love to all in this lovely family.
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gaylord. Beautiful program. (to reiterate) Love to all who knew X-Ray personally, especially.
	9:58pm Marc Francis: Thank you Gaylord. Thanks gang.
	9:59pm Tommy in Neversink: I think I will miss X-Ray so much because him and Glenn had a half talk, half music show . They were a presences in my home on Sunday afternoon for 20 years. So I feel like I kind of know him ..like he was guest in my house every week . Sunday really won't be the same
	9:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Gaylord. Take care.
	9:59pm twinoak170: Gaylord, that you.
	5:45pm frenchee: Gaylord, what a wonderful, beautiful show. I couldn't even post during, but today is slightly less teary and you did a grand send-off.
	12:40pm Booz: Roll on. This show is a goddam gorgeous diagonal portrait. Thanks Gaylord. (Thanks X-Ray.)
	6:00pm Mike East: Thank you for the tribute, Gaylord.
