WFMU: Irene Trudel: Playlist from February 8, 2021

Listener comments!
	11:50am headcleaner: lovely photo
	🥁 11:51am Sean in Bristol UK: Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all, it’s daylight still outdoors
	11:55am Irene Trudel: Hullo, headcleaner, Sean and all listening in! It's a sunny after-snow day in NYC and I have music to match.
	11:59am listener james from westwood: Was a delight watching the trees get covered like that one yesterday. And the sun helped me clean what little was left off my car. More pretty-yet-innocuous snow like this (maybe next year), please.
	12:01pm Irene Trudel: Wasn't it pretty, james? A lot dropped off the trees this morning but that's typical NYC.
	🥁 12:01pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene. Yes Sean still light despite the snow heavy sky.
	12:02pm Irene Trudel: Welcome, Brian!
	🥁 12:03pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Brian in UK, did you hear about a MP proposing putting the clocks forward on the last day of this month, gets my vote
	12:05pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Irene, listeners
	🥁 12:06pm Brian in UK: Sean I find the whole clock moving beyond me. We invented time and then we play about with it.
	🥁 12:09pm Sean in Bristol UK: I so agree, I think this came up back in October as the clocks were due to go back, Arizona has it nailed, no mucking around with the time
	12:10pm John from NJ: So glad to be in the right place at the right time to listen live this week.
	12:11pm Irene Trudel: Glad to have you here today, Sylvia and John.
	12:12pm Deborah: Glad to be listening while prepping for tomorrow's three hour classes. Tend to think of them as a radio shift, sort of, now that we are virtual. Students even have a comments section.
	12:15pm Irene Trudel: Happy to help you prep, Deborah!
	🥁 12:18pm Sean in Bristol UK: Tomita, now this a welcome blast from the past, Irene, thank you for jogging my memory with this fine artist
	12:19pm headcleaner: @sean - yup - putting that one on my list
	12:25pm Irene Trudel: This Tomita record was one of my mom's favorites.
	12:26pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Irene: Brian Dewan has a live streamed Valentines Show coming up!
	12:27pm Dean: Checked out that Tomita album many times from the library at the time. Finally bought a copy, a couple bucks, two or three years ago. The Hamilton Ravel was terrific. I'm a big fan of Alexandre Tharaud's, too.
	12:27pm Irene Trudel: Hi Henry! I was just about to mention it!
	12:28pm Irene Trudel: Brian Dewan's Valentine's Day stream: www.eventbrite.com...
	12:29pm Rich in Washington: this is lovely
	12:31pm Deborah: Loved Brian Dewan's story. Never heard it before.
	12:31pm John from NJ: I didn't know Brian is on Bar None. Cool.
	🥁 12:31pm Sean in Bristol UK: Stunning set, thank you Irene
	12:31pm Webhamster Henry: That's Brian's homemade harpsichord-sized electric zither through a Leslie cabinet , and tasteful overdubbing.
	🥁 12:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chuffing cold out there, Irene, my morning cycle was an uphill struggle, physically and metaphorically
	12:43pm Irene Trudel: Sean, I can't believe you still cycle in this weather! You're really dedicated to fitness.
	🥁 12:52pm Sean in Bristol UK: @60 I am going to give it one more go to be a bronzed Adonis! Vanity, should be one of the seven deadly sins!!
	1:01pm prguitar: Hey there Irene! What a beautiful photograph from yesterday's Ivory Snowlike weather.. Glad to be here for a while this afternoon!
	1:03pm Irene Trudel: Good to have you here today, prguitar!
	🥁 1:04pm Sean in Bristol UK: Playing this wonderful album daily, Urban Driftwood is lights out gorgeous
	1:07pm Sylvia (France-NYC): lost the feed for a split second
	1:13pm prguitar: Larry!! He'll be smiling on you from the ether Irene! Was so lucky to cross paths with him in this life. One of my favorite visitors to the repair shop at Rudy's. Such a brilliant player, and what a character!!
	1:17pm Sigurður: Good to hear your voice Irene.
	1:22pm Irene Trudel: So great that you knew Larry, pr guitar! He seemed like a nice person. Sad that he left us too early. Hi Sigurður!
	1:29pm Fox: Thank you for the soothing tunes, Irene. It's helping me deal with life.
	1:35pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Mind blown! This set, wow!
	1:37pm headcleaner: I'm with Fox - your show helps me a lot, Irene
	🥁 1:42pm βrian: Back from the arctic. Listening in.
	1:43pm Webhamster Henry: I was cycling around last Thursday, but it was in the relatively toasty 40Fs .
	1:51pm Irene Trudel: Hey Fox and βrian! Happy to soothe you all with the tunes today.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Hi folks!
	1:58pm Irene Trudel: Hiya, doctorjazz!
	2:02pm John from NJ: Thanks, Irene. Lovely to hear our song in the context of that beautiful set. Hi to Peter.
	2:07pm Irene Trudel: You're quite welcome, John. Say 'hi' to Tony for me!
	🥁 2:07pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, Irene! Been working but have had you on since the first strains of Harry Nilsson! Interesting that even when he's not singing you can recognize a Nilsson melody straightaway. Also, was dead sure that last track was Ivor Cutler until I saw the playlist! x
	2:10pm Irene Trudel: Summer and Michael and Sylvia, you weren't too far off with that last one. Ivor Cutler was indeed on that Robert Wyatt track. And Harry didn't write that track-- Randy Newman did-- but he really owns it in that recording.
	2:11pm Webhamster Henry: @Summer - I thought it was Ivor too! Nilsson and Newman cross pollinated quite a bit!
	2:12pm Webhamster Henry: I heard someone's really deep and long Ivor Cutler tribute compilation once, I wonder where I put that link?
	🥁 2:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Ah! I guess my ears hear a similar familiarity with Newman and Harry! And I love Ivor! Came to him a bit late - 1997's "A Wet Handle" - but got to hear him read once at a little bookstore in London, The Owl in Kentish Town. Got his autograph later at the signing. He looked up and said "were you in the queue?" I said yes, of course. He looked at me astonished and said "you just seemed to appear!" Very Ivor!
	2:15pm redkayak: Hello all - Hope you've dug out from the snowdrifts!
	2:19pm fred: Hello Irene and listeners. That's a lovely tree, and that's a lovely show
	🥁 2:35pm Michael 98145: more kazoo!
	2:44pm prguitar: Larry was great! He and Pat (Martino) did a weeks run at the Blue Note in late January, 2015. Pat had his trio and Larry played duo with Vic Juris (who sadly passed on New Year's eve 2019). They would alternate who opened each night. I arrived early one of the evenings, and went upstairs to say hello to Pat, his trio (Pat Bianchi, Carmen Intorre Jr.) Vic and Larry, who I hadn't seen for a few years since I left Rudy's.. Upon greeting Larry, he remembered my name straightaway, plus details of our visits at Rudy's, and he was gracious as always.. sadly, it was the last time we had the opportunity to hang out together.. by the way, did I bump into you and Peter one of those evenings? Might have been.. or at another one of Pat's performances for certain.. Time passes ever so quickly..
	2:44pm doctorjazz: All, great BST album (my favorite)
	2:44pm Irene Trudel: Hey redkayak, fred and Michael!
	2:44pm Webhamster Henry: WFMU: Your Al Kooper station.
	2:45pm Irene Trudel: prguitar, Peter and I were definitely at one of those Blue Note shows. Really special!
	🥁 2:50pm Michael 98145: Enjoyed the show ... thanks again, Irene
	2:50pm prguitar: Does ISB and BS&T attest to time quickly passing, or perhaps more useful to a certain musical timelessness that we feel in our hearts always..
	2:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for this week's snowscape, Irene.
	2:51pm BillD: I have always loved this BS and T album. It's the only that matters. Not one dud on the whole thing. Al Kooper rules
	🥁 2:52pm Michael 98145: we are so fortunate to have lived through so much of this music
	2:56pm prguitar: So we did.. thought so! Yes, those performances were very special!! We were so lucky to have been present.. as it wasn't in the cards to ever happen again..
	2:56pm redkayak: @Irene - thanks for a great shooooo ;)
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks Irene, great show (as usual)!
	2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Bye, Irene! Next on Drummer Radio: "My So-Called Mind", an unfolded collage on Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, here: wfmu.org...
	2:59pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Irene, an absolute corker of a show, thank you.
	2:59pm prguitar: Thanks for the super show this afternoon Irene! Hope to cross paths again soon!! You and Peter take good care, and say hello to him for me.. ♥️♥️

Mon. Nov 25th, Noon - 3pm: Bipolar Explorer (More info...)
With the release of their 12th album, Bipolar Explorer continues their beautiful tradition of dream-pop songs and landscapes. "Memories of the Sky" was in part inspired by a Paris exhibition of the works of Louis Janmot, and the reoccurring imagery of protective angels. Frontman Michael Serafin-Wells, along with vocalist/keyboardist Sylvia Solanas visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.
