	10:01pm fleep: Greetings
	10:02pm Michael 98145: one of these days i really have to rediscover Tequila and Mexcal. yes.
	10:02pm Little Danny: Michael, I desperately wanted to start the show with a cactus-related theme, but all I could think of was "Cactus Cat" by Look Blue Go Purple, and I just played it a few weeks ago.
	10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: With Larry having taken off last night, my usual schedule was thrown off and I almost forgot about your show. But I saw 8:59 on the clock and suddenly my brain was like “Oh it’s Thursday. Time for Danny.”
	10:02pm Flash Strap: take it away LD!
	10:03pm Little Danny: Hi chresti, franco, melinda, Matt from NOLA, Flash, and fleep!
	10:03pm Little Danny: See, sometimes those internal clocks actually pay off, Matt
	10:04pm melinda: Cactus Tree is my other favorite cactus song, next to Cactus Cat.
	10:05pm Little Danny: You should read Malcolm Lowry's "Under the Volcano" if you rediscover those alcohols, Michael
	10:05pm northguineahills: @franco/melinda: a tuna and tunas sorbet would be perfect for a cactus cat!
	10:05pm Little Danny: Remind me of the "Cactus Tree" artist, melinda
	10:06pm melinda: Joni Mitchell, Song to a Seagull
	10:07pm Little Danny: NGH, glad ya made it over!
	10:07pm Little Danny: Oh, dang, I shoulda known that Melinda
	10:08pm Little Danny: but I don't know Joni Mitchell's catalog at all
	10:10pm melinda: I have her first 5 albums but I don't remember all the names of the songs. Cactus Tree is one of my favorites on that album.
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: I always associate Chico Hamilton with the acerbic film Sweet Smell of Success
	10:11pm Little Danny: Anyone got any tips for pronouncing "Saidani" in French?
	10:12pm northguineahills: Mezcal and Scotch are my spirits of choice. Siblings of taste.
	10:12pm Little Danny: Oh man, all time favorite movie, Matt.
	10:12pm Michael 98145: "Under the Volcano" ... i recognize the title, and i will seek it out. Thank you!
	10:12pm melinda: Sigh-don-EE?
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: SAY DA NEE
	10:13pm melinda: I should watch that. I like Albert Finney.
	10:13pm northguineahills: yeah, what Melinda said, w/ an accent on the last syllable.
	10:14pm Little Danny: thanks, y'all!
	10:15pm melinda: I put some older movies in my Netflix queue, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Cool Hand Luke. The former I saw with my family in the theater, the latter I feel like I should have seen by now but haven't.
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard a song that you’re probably familiar with Danny earlier today that I throughly enjoyed and thought it would be up your alley Jaipur by Joe Harriott & Amancio D’Silva Quartet
	10:17pm Little Danny: Paul Newman at peak Paul Newman gorgeousness in CHL
	10:18pm Little Danny: Oh hell yes I love that track Matt! And the catalogs of both Harriott and D'Silva are incredible
	10:19pm northguineahills: I had a friend who named his indie band after CHL.
	📉 10:19pm chresti: Great track here
	📉 10:20pm chresti: @You'll never change
	10:20pm Michael 98145: Great show, for that matter!
	📉 10:21pm chresti: ...and this one
	10:21pm Little Danny: I'm with ya, chresti
	10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard it on a show on Tottally Wired Radio earlier today that is right up your alley called Jazz Only totallywiredradio.com...
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: There is a Mexican candy called Visnaga. It is made of cactus. They had none at the store tonight, so I got a good chunk of Calabasa candy instead. It goes real good with hot coffee and Ray Charles.
	10:23pm Michael 98145: Ray Charles. Geez, what a voice. Met Quincy Jones here in Seattle.
	10:23pm Little Danny: Awesome, thanks Matt!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: aloha Danny & all
	10:25pm Little Danny: Hola my dude coela
	10:28pm Little Danny: Indeed, and Ray's keyboard playing on that track kills me, Michael. Some sorta early electric piano?
	10:29pm Matt from New Orleans: I take it this wasn’t Princess Leia’s dad on that prior track third cup
	10:30pm Little Danny: Haha nope. Different Eddie.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Oof, sorry that the volume levels have been so erratic this evening. Head back in the game
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: Franco is calabasa something in the squash family?
	10:32pm Matt from New Orleans: yup it’s a pumpkin
	10:33pm melinda: pumpkin candy sounds yummy
	10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s typically spelled with a z calabaza in English
	10:34pm northguineahills: @franco: Never had that, but I do like jabalina tarugos (tamarind chili candies). Not usually a candy person.
	10:34pm northguineahills: Trish!
	10:35pm Little Danny: Indeed, NGH. One of the Harumi tracks that Flash played this evening put me in the mood
	10:35pm Michael 98145: I don't have much of a sweet tooth, either. Mexican sweet breads don't appeal, either ... Just sayin.
	10:35pm melinda: @ngh I had some of those a long time ago, they were salty too. I'm a reformed candy eater.
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I love the flowers of the calabaza in a quesadilla
	10:36pm coelacanth∅: thanks Matt ... i was only going on that it's close to "calabash" ...and, yum!
	10:36pm Michael 98145: continue to be liking all this ...
	10:37pm Little Danny: savory > sweet But salty and fatty above all
	📉 10:37pm chresti: @Matt, the best!
	10:37pm Little Danny: @Michael: GOOD! Me too
	10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: It's the same thing coel
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: some other squash flowers are good too (though i don't remember which ones i've tried)
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, just crystalized pumpkin. Crunchy on the outside, gooey and fibrous on the inside. Good stoner treat.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: oh man that sounds good!
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I like squash blossoms dipped in egg and deep fried.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: ...and that broadcast track reminded me of a Lee Perry track ("city's too hot" or something like that)
	10:40pm melinda: I always loved crystallized ginger. When I was little we had a pretty jar in the cupboard that contained crystallized ginger in syrup, and I would sneak bits.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: City To Hot Is great! I have it on a free 45 that came with Mojo.
	📉 10:42pm JtotheK: hiya Danny, hi everyone! that Betty Lavett track was fantastic. (and thanks for the avatar shout out last week!)
	10:42pm northguineahills: Before my butternut squash died, I would eat the blossoms off the vine. My wife is an atheist, but she'd always get a rosca de reyes (cake) every three kings day.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, Does she chomp off the head of the baby Jesus hidden inside the cake?
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: mm mm crystalised ginger Franco what a treat too! that record free with mojo!
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: hey JK!
	10:46pm Michael 98145: eating and drinking always made much more sense to me than religion ..
	📉 10:47pm JtotheK: hiya coel!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: Last supper everyday, that's what I say!
	10:48pm northguineahills: no, but we once got two nino jesuses in one cake.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: Michael you can eat and drink the body and the blood of Christ if you're torn between the 2
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: The cake was trying to tell you something.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: i think the stream is on
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: not your show
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: (but it's really good at least!)
	10:51pm Michael 98145: whoops
	10:51pm Little Danny: Thanks for the heads-up on the Lee Perry, coela. Color me intrigued.
	10:52pm Little Danny: Heya J2tK! Glad you caught that 101 Strings convergence
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: so, that song with the female vocal was jimmy cole unlimited?
	10:53pm Michael 98145: i'm confused. nothing new about that, however.
	10:54pm Little Danny: @coela: Yes. It's a bit murky. But, patriarchy. And budget record labels.
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: Is this supposed to be steeped in so much reverb? Sound good regardless.
	10:55pm Michael 98145: yes
	10:56pm Little Danny: @Franco: YES! It is good for many reasons but especially that
	10:56pm Little Danny: I mean, when has reverb not improved a recording?
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ah. it came in abruptly when you stopped speaking, and it was short, and a female voice and a theoretically male name! i liked it!
	📉 10:57pm chresti: This is nice and spooky
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, the threat is revealed.
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thread. I'm trippin'
	10:59pm Michael 98145: cool
	10:59pm Little Danny: shout out to my Antipodean people here
	11:00pm Carmichael: Heta Danny. You can play anything by the band Cactus.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Bonnie was Sally go 'round the roses-ish.
	11:01pm Little Danny: Totally, Franco. Another great and weirdly hypnotic femme group side
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: This is how you feel you eat a certain type of cactus.
	11:02pm Little Danny: Hey Carmichael, don't know the group! Any specific recommendations?
	11:03pm Little Danny: Always a bit sad that I've never had access to any mescaline-related cacti, especially as I'm in the desert
	11:03pm northguineahills: Bonnie is new to me, sounded like a precursor to Black Tambourine. Digdug!
	11:03pm geezerette: Surf guitar is addictive.
	11:04pm geezerette: Cowabunga!
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: San Pedro cactus is the one you want Danny.
	11:05pm northguineahills: @LD: I'm sad, I never had the time to go to a small town of Monterrey, Mexico, where my wife would go pick mescaline buttons, wander around the desert w/ her friends, go into town, get a drink, before going home. Every time I'm there, I'm on a tight schedule.
	11:05pm geezerette: Danny, Franco, I'm in!
	11:06pm Ignore Function: Great show, Little Danny.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: It's a slow growing cactus and protected in most places, Mexico included, I suspect.
	11:07pm Little Danny: I've heard of San Pedro cactus, Franco. I remember it from my dog-earred copy of Legal Highs. Does it contain mescaline? Or some other magic?
	11:07pm Little Danny: Amazing, NGH
	11:08pm Carmichael: Jeff Beck, Carmine Appice, etc ... 70s rock offshoot. Just following the thread from earlier.
	11:08pm Little Danny: Thanks, Ignore F! And hello
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: and of course "cactus" by the pixies (probably my favorite song by the pixies) ...
	11:08pm geezerette: Damn, this jukebox!!! :D
	11:08pm Michael 98145: { speaking of Under the Volcano, now i remember seeing the Albert Finney film! }
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: It's peyote I think.
	11:09pm Carmichael: If you’re in the desert, peyote is the way to go. Take it from a pro ... :)
	📉 11:10pm chresti: never had peyote, does it make you throw up?
	11:10pm Little Danny: Ah, thanks Carmichael! I think I know the group you speak of. Any specific recommendations?
	11:10pm Michael 98145: unchain my heart ...
	11:11pm northguineahills: True, LD: The townsfolk will drive out gringo hippies, as they nearly destroyed all of the cacti, but will tolerate other Mexis.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i have that first cactus album but i've only listened to it once, about 3 decades ago! -give it another shot?
	11:12pm Little Danny: @chresti: that's its fearsome reputation from what I know. But I'll defer to the experts
	11:14pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm checking out, was out late last night, cheers!
	11:14pm Little Danny: Thanks NGH!
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: Magic mushrooms in the Saugauro National Monument in southern Arizona is my hot tip. A real thrill ride in the big cactus.
	11:15pm Carmichael: Cactus covered a lot of blues tunes, so anything from their 1st album is great. Some Willie Dixon and others in there.
	11:16pm Carmichael: @chresti, yes. But it’s ok in the long run.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Cool, thanks Carmichael
	11:17pm geezerette: This John Lemons record is soooooo good.
	11:18pm Little Danny: On the botanical tip, we had opium poppies growing in a disturbed part of our yard some years back. I'd chew their leaves from time to time. I could never get 'em to grow back. Probably for the best.
	11:19pm Little Danny: Thanks, geez, glad you dug!
	11:19pm geezerette: Mushrooms won't make you queasy. Don't think I've had peyote.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Well Danny, you must talk to Dr. Chresti for advice in that regard.
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: never ingested mescaline-containing cactus; only mescaline (which doesn't make one vomit)
	📉 11:22pm chresti: I tend to shy away from substances that make me throw up
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Some times acid would make me puke on the downward slide.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: Carmichael i'll give that record a whirl
	📉 11:24pm chresti: I read somewhere that sunflowers are good companion plants for poppies
	11:25pm Matt from New Orleans: Evening all. I’ve been fading but was staying up for the Raiders first round picks. Now that that’s over I’m going to sleep.
	11:25pm Jack: I am an FMU listener...30 years now? This is one of the coolest sets I have ever heard. Great job..Danny the Artist
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: g'night Matt
	11:31pm geezerette: Phoenix? Huh...
	11:32pm geezerette: Records tasty enough to eat.
	11:33pm Carmichael: Lotta good bands from Phoenix back then. Alice Cooper and the Tubes, off the top of my head.
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: Meat Puppets more recently.
	11:35pm geezerette: Carm, true. Franco, didn't know they came from there.
	11:35pm Little Danny: Whoa, thanks so much Jack! Glad it got you into the zone!
	11:36pm Little Danny: Sanford Clark is Phoenix. Cut some of my fave rock 'n' roll sides, including "The Fool." With Al Casey on guitar!
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Yup. Psychedelic desert rockers to the core.
	11:37pm Little Danny: I believe Duane Eddy and Lee Hazlewood were from Phoenix, too
	11:38pm Carmichael: Danny, where are you in the desert?
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: is Howe Gelb from phoenix? ...maybe he's from tuscan
	11:39pm Little Danny: West Texas, Carmichael. Marfa, specifically.
	11:40pm Carmichael: Oh, cool.
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Tuscon. Met him outside a Mexican Restaurant there.
	11:41pm geezerette: Phoenix is a weird place; politically conservative,(although changing), but always with that Psychedelic edge as you say. Deserts...and the Sonoran has a lot more color than Mojave.
	11:42pm Little Danny: goo.gl...
	11:42pm Carmichael: I spent a few years in Tucson and loved it. I’m originally from Ireland, so that was a whiplash event. But I’m here (in NorCal) to stay.
	11:43pm Carmichael: Gil Scott Heron reborn.
	11:43pm geezerette: Danny,this set! This show!
	📉 11:44pm chresti: I liked the higher elevation part of Arizona, like Flagstaff
	11:44pm geezerette: Carm, yeah!
	11:45pm Little Danny: Ah, man, thanks geez!
	11:45pm Carmichael: Flagstaff reminded me of Tahoe.
	11:46pm Dean: Buddy of mine compiled and edited a book of photos of his uncle's work in NM in the '60s. His uncle was a participant in the "great Hippie migration": https://unpblog.com/2016/04/13/from-the-desk-of-benjamin-klein/
	11:46pm Ignore Function: Sun City Girls were from Phoenix, right?
	11:47pm doctorjazz: Made it on time for good vibes!
	📉 11:47pm chresti: Agree with geezerette, supreme blue flame tonight!
	11:47pm geezerette: Chresti, yeah, northern AZ for sure!
	📉 11:47pm chresti: Yeah, love Sun City Girls
	11:48pm Little Danny: As if by magic. Heya docjazz!
	11:48pm Carmichael: This is rapidly becoming my favorite show. Great music, great hospitality!
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Sloshing around Flagstaff in a snow storm reminded me of McCabe and Miss Miller.
	11:50pm Little Danny: Whoa, beautiful photos Dean! Hey bud
	11:51pm Dean: Text is good, too. Kind of a lost/unacknowledged time and, certainly, place.
	11:51pm Little Danny: That warms the cockles of my cold dead heart, Carmichael. THANK YOU
	11:53pm Carmichael: Boy, do I have some Jimmy Smith stories, all good. He lived out here, down the road from me, for a decade or so.
	11:53pm Little Danny: I'm drawn in general to documentation of late '60s/early '70s communal and back-to-nature counter-culture
	11:53pm geezerette: Danny, Blue Flame cause you're cookin'!
	📉 11:54pm chresti: @Dean, great photos!
	11:55pm Little Danny: Wow, Carmichael. I think I remember you mentioning JS during some other recent show. Irwin, maybe? Gaylord, perhaps.
	11:55pm Dean: I'll pass along the compliments to Ben, folks. Thank you!
	11:55pm Ignore Function: I'm glad I got to see Jimmy Smith perform.
	11:57pm Little Danny: Gonna go a minute or two into overtime
	11:57pm Carmichael: Yeah, someone recently played him. He was a stellar citizen and generally great person. I want to be like him, but I’m too suspicious of everyone’s agenda. He was very open hearted.
	11:58pm Dean: Same here re: Jimmy Smith. Caught him a few times. He had a cranky sense of humor I enjoyed. Once told me to slow down with the martinis. I'd had two, as in two drink minimum.
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: Chresti just handed me a burnt broccoli floret she found on the stove. It smelled real good, like freshly roasted coffee. With that unrelated bit of nonsense I will say good night. This show was a monster!
	12:00am geezerette: Wow, Danny! Night ,all!
	12:01am Dean: Burnt Broccoli Floret: best band name tonight.
	12:01am fleep: Thanks, Danny!
	📉 12:02am chresti: Thanks Danny! 'night everybody!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! Stellar selection as usual! 'night, peyote-poppers
	12:05am Dean: I recently visited my mom at her assisted/independent living residence. The activity of the morning involved listening to side 1 of The Shape of Jazz to Come...
	12:06am Ignore Function: Night, all.
	12:06am Little Danny: Dean, WOW!
	12:07am geezerette: Dean, lovely. :)
	12:07am Little Danny: GOOD PEOPLE. Thank you! Luv you! See y'all around
	12:07am Dean: "Wow" ain't the half of it.

	10:08pm Little Danny: but I don't know Joni Mitchell's catalog at all
	10:10pm melinda: I have her first 5 albums but I don't remember all the names of the songs. Cactus Tree is one of my favorites on that album.
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: I always associate Chico Hamilton with the acerbic film Sweet Smell of Success
	10:11pm Little Danny: Anyone got any tips for pronouncing "Saidani" in French?
	10:12pm northguineahills: Mezcal and Scotch are my spirits of choice. Siblings of taste.
	10:12pm Little Danny: Oh man, all time favorite movie, Matt.
	10:12pm Michael 98145: "Under the Volcano" ... i recognize the title, and i will seek it out. Thank you!
	10:12pm melinda: Sigh-don-EE?
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: SAY DA NEE
	10:13pm melinda: I should watch that. I like Albert Finney.
	10:13pm northguineahills: yeah, what Melinda said, w/ an accent on the last syllable.
	10:14pm Little Danny: thanks, y'all!
	10:15pm melinda: I put some older movies in my Netflix queue, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Cool Hand Luke. The former I saw with my family in the theater, the latter I feel like I should have seen by now but haven't.
	10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard a song that you’re probably familiar with Danny earlier today that I throughly enjoyed and thought it would be up your alley Jaipur by Joe Harriott & Amancio D’Silva Quartet
	10:17pm Little Danny: Paul Newman at peak Paul Newman gorgeousness in CHL
	10:18pm Little Danny: Oh hell yes I love that track Matt! And the catalogs of both Harriott and D'Silva are incredible
	10:19pm northguineahills: I had a friend who named his indie band after CHL.
	📉 10:19pm chresti: Great track here
	📉 10:20pm chresti: @You'll never change
	10:20pm Michael 98145: Great show, for that matter!
	📉 10:21pm chresti: ...and this one
	10:21pm Little Danny: I'm with ya, chresti
	10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: I heard it on a show on Tottally Wired Radio earlier today that is right up your alley called Jazz Only totallywiredradio.com...
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: There is a Mexican candy called Visnaga. It is made of cactus. They had none at the store tonight, so I got a good chunk of Calabasa candy instead. It goes real good with hot coffee and Ray Charles.
	10:23pm Michael 98145: Ray Charles. Geez, what a voice. Met Quincy Jones here in Seattle.
	10:23pm Little Danny: Awesome, thanks Matt!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: aloha Danny & all
	10:25pm Little Danny: Hola my dude coela
	10:28pm Little Danny: Indeed, and Ray's keyboard playing on that track kills me, Michael. Some sorta early electric piano?
	10:29pm Matt from New Orleans: I take it this wasn’t Princess Leia’s dad on that prior track third cup
	10:30pm Little Danny: Haha nope. Different Eddie.
	10:31pm Little Danny: Oof, sorry that the volume levels have been so erratic this evening. Head back in the game
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: Franco is calabasa something in the squash family?
	10:32pm Matt from New Orleans: yup it’s a pumpkin
	10:33pm melinda: pumpkin candy sounds yummy
	10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s typically spelled with a z calabaza in English
	10:34pm northguineahills: @franco: Never had that, but I do like jabalina tarugos (tamarind chili candies). Not usually a candy person.
	10:34pm northguineahills: Trish!
	10:35pm Little Danny: Indeed, NGH. One of the Harumi tracks that Flash played this evening put me in the mood
	10:35pm Michael 98145: I don't have much of a sweet tooth, either. Mexican sweet breads don't appeal, either ... Just sayin.
	10:35pm melinda: @ngh I had some of those a long time ago, they were salty too. I'm a reformed candy eater.
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I love the flowers of the calabaza in a quesadilla
	10:36pm coelacanth∅: thanks Matt ... i was only going on that it's close to "calabash" ...and, yum!
	10:36pm Michael 98145: continue to be liking all this ...
	10:37pm Little Danny: savory > sweet But salty and fatty above all
	📉 10:37pm chresti: @Matt, the best!
	10:37pm Little Danny: @Michael: GOOD! Me too
	10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: It's the same thing coel
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: some other squash flowers are good too (though i don't remember which ones i've tried)
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, just crystalized pumpkin. Crunchy on the outside, gooey and fibrous on the inside. Good stoner treat.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: oh man that sounds good!
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I like squash blossoms dipped in egg and deep fried.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: ...and that broadcast track reminded me of a Lee Perry track ("city's too hot" or something like that)
	10:40pm melinda: I always loved crystallized ginger. When I was little we had a pretty jar in the cupboard that contained crystallized ginger in syrup, and I would sneak bits.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: City To Hot Is great! I have it on a free 45 that came with Mojo.
	📉 10:42pm JtotheK: hiya Danny, hi everyone! that Betty Lavett track was fantastic. (and thanks for the avatar shout out last week!)
	10:42pm northguineahills: Before my butternut squash died, I would eat the blossoms off the vine. My wife is an atheist, but she'd always get a rosca de reyes (cake) every three kings day.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, Does she chomp off the head of the baby Jesus hidden inside the cake?
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: mm mm crystalised ginger Franco what a treat too! that record free with mojo!
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: hey JK!
	10:46pm Michael 98145: eating and drinking always made much more sense to me than religion ..
	📉 10:47pm JtotheK: hiya coel!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: Last supper everyday, that's what I say!
	10:48pm northguineahills: no, but we once got two nino jesuses in one cake.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: Michael you can eat and drink the body and the blood of Christ if you're torn between the 2
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: The cake was trying to tell you something.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: i think the stream is on
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: not your show
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: (but it's really good at least!)
	10:51pm Michael 98145: whoops
	10:51pm Little Danny: Thanks for the heads-up on the Lee Perry, coela. Color me intrigued.
	10:52pm Little Danny: Heya J2tK! Glad you caught that 101 Strings convergence
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: so, that song with the female vocal was jimmy cole unlimited?
	10:53pm Michael 98145: i'm confused. nothing new about that, however.
	10:54pm Little Danny: @coela: Yes. It's a bit murky. But, patriarchy. And budget record labels.
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: Is this supposed to be steeped in so much reverb? Sound good regardless.
	10:55pm Michael 98145: yes
	10:56pm Little Danny: @Franco: YES! It is good for many reasons but especially that
	10:56pm Little Danny: I mean, when has reverb not improved a recording?
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ah. it came in abruptly when you stopped speaking, and it was short, and a female voice and a theoretically male name! i liked it!
	📉 10:57pm chresti: This is nice and spooky
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, the threat is revealed.
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thread. I'm trippin'
	10:59pm Michael 98145: cool
	10:59pm Little Danny: shout out to my Antipodean people here
	11:00pm Carmichael: Heta Danny. You can play anything by the band Cactus.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Bonnie was Sally go 'round the roses-ish.
	11:01pm Little Danny: Totally, Franco. Another great and weirdly hypnotic femme group side
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: This is how you feel you eat a certain type of cactus.
	11:02pm Little Danny: Hey Carmichael, don't know the group! Any specific recommendations?
	11:03pm Little Danny: Always a bit sad that I've never had access to any mescaline-related cacti, especially as I'm in the desert
	11:03pm northguineahills: Bonnie is new to me, sounded like a precursor to Black Tambourine. Digdug!
	11:03pm geezerette: Surf guitar is addictive.
	11:04pm geezerette: Cowabunga!
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: San Pedro cactus is the one you want Danny.
	11:05pm northguineahills: @LD: I'm sad, I never had the time to go to a small town of Monterrey, Mexico, where my wife would go pick mescaline buttons, wander around the desert w/ her friends, go into town, get a drink, before going home. Every time I'm there, I'm on a tight schedule.
	11:05pm geezerette: Danny, Franco, I'm in!
	11:06pm Ignore Function: Great show, Little Danny.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: It's a slow growing cactus and protected in most places, Mexico included, I suspect.
	11:07pm Little Danny: I've heard of San Pedro cactus, Franco. I remember it from my dog-earred copy of Legal Highs. Does it contain mescaline? Or some other magic?
	11:07pm Little Danny: Amazing, NGH
	11:08pm Carmichael: Jeff Beck, Carmine Appice, etc ... 70s rock offshoot. Just following the thread from earlier.
	11:08pm Little Danny: Thanks, Ignore F! And hello
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: and of course "cactus" by the pixies (probably my favorite song by the pixies) ...
	11:08pm geezerette: Damn, this jukebox!!! :D
	11:08pm Michael 98145: { speaking of Under the Volcano, now i remember seeing the Albert Finney film! }
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: It's peyote I think.
	11:09pm Carmichael: If you’re in the desert, peyote is the way to go. Take it from a pro ... :)
	📉 11:10pm chresti: never had peyote, does it make you throw up?
	11:10pm Little Danny: Ah, thanks Carmichael! I think I know the group you speak of. Any specific recommendations?
	11:10pm Michael 98145: unchain my heart ...
	11:11pm northguineahills: True, LD: The townsfolk will drive out gringo hippies, as they nearly destroyed all of the cacti, but will tolerate other Mexis.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i have that first cactus album but i've only listened to it once, about 3 decades ago! -give it another shot?
	11:12pm Little Danny: @chresti: that's its fearsome reputation from what I know. But I'll defer to the experts
	11:14pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm checking out, was out late last night, cheers!
	11:14pm Little Danny: Thanks NGH!
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: Magic mushrooms in the Saugauro National Monument in southern Arizona is my hot tip. A real thrill ride in the big cactus.
	11:15pm Carmichael: Cactus covered a lot of blues tunes, so anything from their 1st album is great. Some Willie Dixon and others in there.
	11:16pm Carmichael: @chresti, yes. But it’s ok in the long run.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Cool, thanks Carmichael
	11:17pm geezerette: This John Lemons record is soooooo good.
	11:18pm Little Danny: On the botanical tip, we had opium poppies growing in a disturbed part of our yard some years back. I'd chew their leaves from time to time. I could never get 'em to grow back. Probably for the best.
	11:19pm Little Danny: Thanks, geez, glad you dug!
	11:19pm geezerette: Mushrooms won't make you queasy. Don't think I've had peyote.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Well Danny, you must talk to Dr. Chresti for advice in that regard.
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: never ingested mescaline-containing cactus; only mescaline (which doesn't make one vomit)
	📉 11:22pm chresti: I tend to shy away from substances that make me throw up
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Some times acid would make me puke on the downward slide.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: Carmichael i'll give that record a whirl
	📉 11:24pm chresti: I read somewhere that sunflowers are good companion plants for poppies
	11:25pm Matt from New Orleans: Evening all. I’ve been fading but was staying up for the Raiders first round picks. Now that that’s over I’m going to sleep.
	11:25pm Jack: I am an FMU listener...30 years now? This is one of the coolest sets I have ever heard. Great job..Danny the Artist
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: g'night Matt
	11:31pm geezerette: Phoenix? Huh...
	11:32pm geezerette: Records tasty enough to eat.
	11:33pm Carmichael: Lotta good bands from Phoenix back then. Alice Cooper and the Tubes, off the top of my head.
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: Meat Puppets more recently.
	11:35pm geezerette: Carm, true. Franco, didn't know they came from there.
	11:35pm Little Danny: Whoa, thanks so much Jack! Glad it got you into the zone!
	11:36pm Little Danny: Sanford Clark is Phoenix. Cut some of my fave rock 'n' roll sides, including "The Fool." With Al Casey on guitar!
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Yup. Psychedelic desert rockers to the core.
	11:37pm Little Danny: I believe Duane Eddy and Lee Hazlewood were from Phoenix, too
	11:38pm Carmichael: Danny, where are you in the desert?
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: is Howe Gelb from phoenix? ...maybe he's from tuscan
	11:39pm Little Danny: West Texas, Carmichael. Marfa, specifically.
	11:40pm Carmichael: Oh, cool.
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Tuscon. Met him outside a Mexican Restaurant there.
	11:41pm geezerette: Phoenix is a weird place; politically conservative,(although changing), but always with that Psychedelic edge as you say. Deserts...and the Sonoran has a lot more color than Mojave.
	11:42pm Little Danny: goo.gl...
	11:42pm Carmichael: I spent a few years in Tucson and loved it. I’m originally from Ireland, so that was a whiplash event. But I’m here (in NorCal) to stay.
	11:43pm Carmichael: Gil Scott Heron reborn.
	11:43pm geezerette: Danny,this set! This show!
	📉 11:44pm chresti: I liked the higher elevation part of Arizona, like Flagstaff
	11:44pm geezerette: Carm, yeah!
	11:45pm Little Danny: Ah, man, thanks geez!
	11:45pm Carmichael: Flagstaff reminded me of Tahoe.
	11:46pm Dean: Buddy of mine compiled and edited a book of photos of his uncle's work in NM in the '60s. His uncle was a participant in the "great Hippie migration": https://unpblog.com/2016/04/13/from-the-desk-of-benjamin-klein/
	11:46pm Ignore Function: Sun City Girls were from Phoenix, right?
	11:47pm doctorjazz: Made it on time for good vibes!
	📉 11:47pm chresti: Agree with geezerette, supreme blue flame tonight!
	11:47pm geezerette: Chresti, yeah, northern AZ for sure!
	📉 11:47pm chresti: Yeah, love Sun City Girls
	11:48pm Little Danny: As if by magic. Heya docjazz!
	11:48pm Carmichael: This is rapidly becoming my favorite show. Great music, great hospitality!
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Sloshing around Flagstaff in a snow storm reminded me of McCabe and Miss Miller.
	11:50pm Little Danny: Whoa, beautiful photos Dean! Hey bud
	11:51pm Dean: Text is good, too. Kind of a lost/unacknowledged time and, certainly, place.
	11:51pm Little Danny: That warms the cockles of my cold dead heart, Carmichael. THANK YOU
	11:53pm Carmichael: Boy, do I have some Jimmy Smith stories, all good. He lived out here, down the road from me, for a decade or so.
	11:53pm Little Danny: I'm drawn in general to documentation of late '60s/early '70s communal and back-to-nature counter-culture
	11:53pm geezerette: Danny, Blue Flame cause you're cookin'!
	📉 11:54pm chresti: @Dean, great photos!
	11:55pm Little Danny: Wow, Carmichael. I think I remember you mentioning JS during some other recent show. Irwin, maybe? Gaylord, perhaps.
	11:55pm Dean: I'll pass along the compliments to Ben, folks. Thank you!
	11:55pm Ignore Function: I'm glad I got to see Jimmy Smith perform.
	11:57pm Little Danny: Gonna go a minute or two into overtime
	11:57pm Carmichael: Yeah, someone recently played him. He was a stellar citizen and generally great person. I want to be like him, but I’m too suspicious of everyone’s agenda. He was very open hearted.
	11:58pm Dean: Same here re: Jimmy Smith. Caught him a few times. He had a cranky sense of humor I enjoyed. Once told me to slow down with the martinis. I'd had two, as in two drink minimum.
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: Chresti just handed me a burnt broccoli floret she found on the stove. It smelled real good, like freshly roasted coffee. With that unrelated bit of nonsense I will say good night. This show was a monster!
	12:00am geezerette: Wow, Danny! Night ,all!
	12:01am Dean: Burnt Broccoli Floret: best band name tonight.
	12:01am fleep: Thanks, Danny!
	📉 12:02am chresti: Thanks Danny! 'night everybody!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! Stellar selection as usual! 'night, peyote-poppers
	12:05am Dean: I recently visited my mom at her assisted/independent living residence. The activity of the morning involved listening to side 1 of The Shape of Jazz to Come...
	12:06am Ignore Function: Night, all.
	12:06am Little Danny: Dean, WOW!
	12:07am geezerette: Dean, lovely. :)
	12:07am Little Danny: GOOD PEOPLE. Thank you! Luv you! See y'all around
	12:07am Dean: "Wow" ain't the half of it.
