	8:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Matt and all
	8:12pm JakeGould: Gonna murmur low.
	8:17pm Lothianman: For hound dog there was never a bad song only varying degrees of great. There are also some good brewer phillips albums out there
	8:19pm Michael 98145: Was fortunate enough to have seen Bukka back in the day
	8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Watson come here - I need you!...
	8:30pm Michael 98145: Geez. Great show again.
	8:30pm coelacanth∅: i'll guess back in the day was during the "revival", not during his first recording period! and...a bit envious.
	8:32pm Michael 98145: @coel, probably late 1960s
	8:35pm coelacanth∅: damn, if i could start my life over, knowing what i know now, how would i convince my parents to let me go see Bukka White?! (and Skip James and John Hurt and Hound Dog -etc...)
	8:35pm coelacanth∅: (...the ones still alive, doing the college circuit)
	8:37pm Wilson in South Orange: I was sentenced to a summer semester at college and I asked one of my dad's friends who was heavy into blues to lend me some CDs. He gave me two big boxes of tapes and CDs and that's all I did besides get A's so I could get the hell out of there. Sonny Boy Williamson... Lightnin'... Bukka (Bukka reminded me)... everything
	8:38pm Peter from Dover NJ: First time I've been able to tune in to your program from the start. Nice.
	8:39pm coelacanth∅: Wilson that doesn't sound too painful!
	8:42pm Michael 98145: Oddly enough, our local Friends Center hosted some great blues shows. Gotta love those Quakers.
	8:42pm Wilson in South Orange: the universe opened up and shat seventy blues albums on me... it was great
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: i would've been scrambling to create my own copies of every one of them! (that i didn't have already)
	8:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good bit about Patton & his AmerIndian heritage in the movie 'Rumble'.
	8:48pm Wilson in South Orange: I was 19 so I made mixtapes? Tragic flaw... but it was 1995. The only thing I recorded cover to cover was Hooker Endless Boogie
	8:49pm coelacanth∅: Michael those friends meeting house shows were the ones in the late 60s? that's awesome! my sister's a quaker and her kids went to quaker schools. only show i ever heard about was an african (don't know the region) drummer who i'd never heard of.
	8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 2019 & still being schooled on Blues behind Rawk I know like my own name...
	8:49pm JakeGould: I went to some blues club on the Upper West Side in the late 1980s that was… Okay… But I mainly remember the overpriced fruity drinks they served.
	8:51pm coelacanth∅: 1995 i was still rebelling against all digital media, so i can relate! i bought probably around 600 cassettes in the 90s, because records were no longer available.
	8:51pm JakeGould: I bought LPs in the 1990s because they were still cheaper than CDs… Then I went all CD… Then I went all digital.
	8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They got Slavery & we got the Greatest Thing There Ever Was. It's too much... Thx MFA !
	8:53pm Matt Fiveash: I did some things in the 1990s too but I can't remember any of them.
	8:54pm Matt Fiveash: Anyway thanks all and maybe we'll try it again next week.
	8:54pm JakeGould: If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again!
	8:55pm coelacanth∅: shanachie had already phased out vinyl for the most part by 1995, and that's where i bought most of my music at the time. (distributor of matchbox, yazoo, etc....they did still have many of the blues comps on vinyl, fortunately)
	8:56pm Jinx: enjoyed the songs, Matt. thank you.
	8:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Matt!
