Listener comments!
	9:59pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Kris. I passed out sometime after 8:30 last week. I listened during the week. Lots of good tunes. Noticed you didn’t play any Robert Parker.
	10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: This the stream?
	10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: ‘Twas
	10:03pm Matt from New Orleans: The long wait home tonight
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: Hi Matt, yeah I forgot to open iTunes!!!
	10:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I almost went to see Raphael Saadiq tonight but when I found out he wasn’t going on till after 10 at the earliest I decided against it. My friend works at the venue and texted me earlier to see if I wanted to go.
	10:10pm Kris Holmes: He would probably be good, never seen him
	10:11pm Little Danny: Hey Kris, hey y’all, loved “Woman Hang Your Head”
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: it's great for sure!! And cheap!!!
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: He had a two solid openers as well. It would have been fun but I couldn’t get a single friend to be my plus one.
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Danny. I heard another cover of across the universe since Thursday and thought of you. I already forgot who the performer was.
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: The doc is really good
	10:23pm Kris Holmes: yes it's fun
	10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: Solid Fats cover
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: it really is
	10:28pm Matt from New Orleans: I find when I have less invested in a song that I’m more open to covers
	10:30pm Kris Holmes: like they're not destroying something sacred?
	10:33pm Little Danny: @Matt: I'm pleased to be associated with the song
	10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: Pretty much. I forgot Roy Brown released it first but I thinks it’s fair to call a song Dave & Fats wrote and had a hit with to say it’s a Fats Domino song.
	10:34pm Little Danny: Drums on " "Something's Got A Hold On Me"!
	10:36pm Sean B.: Fantastic show as usual!. Finally getting a chance to tune in live. Thanks for the sounds!.
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Sean
	10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: Haven’t heard this for a bit. Still sounding really good.
	10:42pm Matt from New Orleans: Wanda Rouzan still performs around town
	10:44pm Kris Holmes: she is great still too
	10:46pm still b/p: Mr. Lee is such a winner of a song...a familiar direction/style, but so happily its own thing.
	10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: Yup
	10:47pm Matt from New Orleans: The Dixie Cups still sound great. Only one original member but one of the Neville sisters is part of the group.
	10:49pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m wrong. The Hawkins sisters are both original. Just Althegra isn’t
	10:50pm Matt from New Orleans: Athelgra uncommon name
	10:51pm Matt from New Orleans: The Dixie Cups are New Orleans too
	10:54pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s fucking ridiculous but not the most disgusting things I’ve seen in Washington Square Park
	10:56pm Matt from New Orleans: But one of my favorite people in the world is Thiru who runs an incredible Dosa cart in the park.
	10:57pm Sean B.: Signed back in to say Hello and also we'll wishes to you Matt, Kris and all. Wishing a pleasant night to you from MA.
	10:57pm still b/p: It if it had been successful, young actors and others hustling to make NY rent could expand beyond hired dog-walking to hired doo-saucing.
	11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: My buddy Richie aka Maharishi HiFi did a Studio One show in honor of what would have been Coxsone’s 88 birthday. It was really good. Listened to it earlier today.
	11:05pm Matt from New Orleans: My cousin was really into reggae in the 80s and she insisted on going to Coxsone’s studio in Brooklyn. At that time, the area of Brooklyn was pretty much a war zone as competing drug operations fought over turf. My dad insisted on taking her and I went along. Coxsone was a true gentleman and he had no sessions booked that day so he just told us stories. I had no fucking clue who he was at the time as I was maybe 8 or 9. She bought a bunch of records and we left. As soon as we step outside, one junkie decides to stab his other junkie buddy for no apparent reason as they hadn’t been arguing. Crazy day.
	11:07pm Kris Holmes: Dang!
	11:07pm Matt from New Orleans: My cousin was visiting from Israel and was definitely naive about what she might have been heading into.
	11:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Snooks
	11:19pm Matt from New Orleans: His name isn’t even spelled properly on that record. It’s Fird.
	11:19pm Kris Holmes: Ha, true.
	11:21pm Matt from New Orleans: This is one of my favorite songs from New Orleans. Love Guitar Slim.
	11:30pm Matt from New Orleans: Some Chicago blues. Another early love.
	11:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): enjoying this set verrrrry much
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: Would it have cost Fire that much more to put the “re” at the end of his name?
	11:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Sounded just like Gloria for a sec
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: yep, heavy Gloria vibes
	11:36pm Matt from New Orleans: This picture sleeve is amazing www.discogs.com...
	11:38pm Matt from New Orleans: Is yours that classy Kris?
	11:39pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Matt from New Orleans: wow, i think that's what some call BAD. Wow!
	11:39pm Kris Holmes: cost me a quarter, no pic sleeve
	11:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. I enjoyed the reggae section. Lots of quality tunes per usual. Have a great night everyone.
	11:52pm Kris Holmes: Thanks for being here Matt!
	11:53pm Matt from New Orleans: This song is confusing me but I’m also pretty beat
