Listener comments!
	7:02pm Gary: Howdy!
	7:02pm Doug Schulkind: AJH forever!
	7:02pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Gary :D
	7:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Doug :D
	7:03pm Bronwyn Bishop: Dear fabulous darlings, I have to confess this show will be a little short due to technical difficulties! It will end at about 8:52 but I encourage you to listen to the fabulous Drummer Stream until at least 9pm
	🎭 7:08pm WR: Snappy transition. I'm all in here.
	7:10pm Jim the Poet: I ain't not misbehaving
	7:11pm Jim the Poet: I will definitely listen for a little while longer because I'll be passed out and the computer is way over there
	7:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Just me and the radio and Bronwyn and all the acid jazzers. Perfect.
	7:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hello WR, Jim and Lizzie :)
	7:16pm Dean: Rock 'n' Soul Radio has magically appeared as a new stream, fyi.
	🎭 7:20pm WR: That's it. If get access to time machine, would chose 1927 to hang out with Fats Waller and Andy Razaf.
	7:21pm Bronwyn Bishop: That sounds like an amazing trip
	7:21pm Jim the Poet: I think I would get a taco in the future first. Like what do future tacos look like? They are probably some kind of floating bubble.
	🎭 7:22pm WR: I'd stay long enough to witness Waller teaching Armstrong Ain't Misbehaving.
	7:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Interesting Dean! I was sad I couldn't hear DA the DJ this morning. Hope he'll be on next week.
	🎭 7:34pm WR: I have minor Eubie Blake story. I was in line to see One Mo' Time in New Orleans just as it was starting to get recognized. A lady cut to the front of the line, interrupting the transaction in progress at the box office. We were all thinking WTF, who does she think she is. After a short conversation she turned back towards the back of the line and said. Come on Eubie. I loudly laughed meaning to ridicule the pushy lady, Eubie? Eubie! The one Eubie I know of is Eubie Blake. A elderly man softly said to me, pardon me, wanting to pass. Yup. It was Eubie Blake.
	7:37pm Webhamster Henry: Melvin Van Peebles wrote some great pieces!
	7:37pm Jim the Poet: What a voice
	7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: @WR: That is incredible!! What I wouldn't give to be in the presence of such an important figure of Broadway history
	7:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: He was a true Renaissance man- most people can't do music AND lyrics AND scripts...
	7:40pm Bronwyn Bishop: I should say is! Melvin is still with us
	7:41pm Webhamster Henry: Take a look at the MvP excerpts they performed on the Tonys of that era. www.youtube.com...
	7:43pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Jim: I was not able to figure out the name of the lead vocalist on that Van Peebles track but I am amazed by both her soprano head voice and her chest voice
	7:44pm Jim the Poet: Incredible
	7:44pm Bronwyn Bishop: @Henry: thanks for sharing, excited to check that out!!
	7:46pm Webhamster Henry: @BB You could do a whole show on Musicals that originated at the Public Theatre.
	7:47pm Dean: Singer of "Ain't Love Grand" is probably Rhetta Hughes.
	7:48pm Dean: Damn, she died just a year ago.
	7:50pm Dean: I myself am a Dark Ages man. I can't do music OR lyrics OR scripts...
	🎭 7:51pm WR: It is a tragedy that Joplin could not get his opera produced during his lifetime.
	🎭 7:52pm WR: Dean, we all have our role to play. Every player is important to the show being a success.
	🎭 7:54pm WR: PS: I know you were jetting a bit, but stilll...
	7:55pm Webhamster Henry: Street Scene has a lot of good music in it.
	🎭 7:57pm WR: Street Scene, Yes!
	8:04pm Dean: The Rock 'n' Soul Radio stream has just as magically disappeared.
	🎭 8:04pm WR: Weird, first time to hear something from the Louis Jordan inspired show. Seems they missed opportunity making the music sound like dixieland instead of his innovative jump blues.
	8:06pm Bronwyn Bishop: I have to admit I had never heard of Louis Jordan before becoming familiar with Five Guys Named Moe and still haven't heard him performing any of his songs. I need to fix that stat
	🎭 8:07pm WR: Dean, I heard someone say that Sunday or Monday was the day for the Ichiban replacement to come on. I don't know what happened between Debbie & Ken, but sad that it did.
	🎭 8:08pm WR: I will send L. Jordan to you eith some comments.
	🎭 8:09pm WR: With...
	8:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: thanks :D
	🎭 8:10pm WR: It will be more than you can eat, but may as well have the whole enchilada.
	8:11pm Bronwyn Bishop: looking forward to it :)
	🎭 8:13pm WR: I've seen Tambourines to Glory in catalog lists haven't listened to it before. Thanks for that little taste
	8:14pm Bronwyn Bishop: It's a great album (and I appreciate any musical theatre album released on Folkways!)
	8:14pm Jim the Poet: I never know when to leave the party
	8:15pm Jim the Poet: It's a problem
	8:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: I personally always leave WFMU parties a little too late (I always stay for at least eight hours, no exaggeration)
	8:22pm Dean: Ain't Too Proud premiered here in Berkeley. The niece of one of the folks on my staff worked hard on that show. She now runs California Shakespeare Theater.
	8:24pm Dean: You should hear the Pearl Records transcriptions of NY stage show recordings from the early 20th century.
	8:28pm Bronwyn Bishop: That sounds great Dean, I'll have to check that out!! Always very interested in the "lost" shows that happened before cast albums existed
	8:30pm Dean: Start here: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-From-The-New-York-Stage-1890-1920-Vol-1-1890-1908/release/11090778
	8:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks! Wow, 1890!!
	8:31pm Webhamster Henry: Dean is right - The Pearl series was comprehensive but I never got around to buying them. I have some music hall ones and as I may have mentioned before, I used to have piano rolls with songs from shows people have more or less forgotten.
	8:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love your piano rolls! I played one of them once
	8:32pm Webhamster Henry: I wish I had that machine still - no room for it in my life. The rolls alone were 14 boxes.
	8:35pm Webhamster Henry: A Grammy winnin' collection is the excellent Wizard of Oz set from Hungry Tiger Press. This is not the 1939 show - this is the 1903 show and realted Oz shows of that era. hungrytigerpress.com...
	8:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: Wow thanks for sending Henry!! I didn't even know there was a 1903 Oz show
	🎭 8:42pm WR: Wow WH Henry, yes thank you for the link.
	8:43pm Webhamster Henry: I won't even mention the 1908 Victor Herbert Little Nemo Show. Oops, just did.These spectaculars were great chorus line job creators.
	8:47pm Webhamster Henry: Correction: The Oz collection was nominated but lost that year. (2003)
	🎭 8:49pm WR: Great show Bronwyn. Thank you!
	8:50pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the show!
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: thanks for listening :D
	8:50pm Jim the Poet: Bravo
	8:50pm Bronwyn Bishop: thanks Jim, thanks for listening!!
