	9:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Ira, georgia and the miraculous!
	9:10pm steveo: Today I got notice for a news story on my phone "Why Linda Ronstadt thinks the Stones are better than the Ramones". I did not click. Proud of that. Great opening. Having a good time.
	9:11pm GratefulDan: tasty
	9:11pm Corey: Evening Ira, Georgia, and listeners! Molly's whistling is resonating with the rainstorm blowing through right now.

	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'I am an ass-licking Stones fan.' - PeteTownshend
	9:14pm listener 126464: Gotta get that Molly Lewis ep. Hi everyone.
	9:14pm deo: Really, really enjoy Tuesday nights.
	9:14pm Chop Scott: I was in a rare bar outing earlier this evening and "Ohm" came on. I thank you!
	9:14pm ShelbyG: Rock n' Roll Circus, Mick felt the same way....I gots my opinions
	9:14pm Joe B: Hi Ira, show sounding great
	9:16pm Bruce S.: you could argue that both the stones and the Ramones made Rock and Roll contemporarey for the decades in which they started out
	9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ the Circus - the Stones were playing Host for days & were fried - & BrianJones was a waste sadly. TheWho were hot off touring the USA & ganging momentum. & you know what? I still think the Stones were better there than Jagger's vanity probly allowed him to see...
	9:18pm Bruce S.: Contemporary r & r stooges and ramones really did it first I think
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho reside @ the center of my heart, btw.
	9:20pm ShelbyG: Bruce S & Rev: all of these bands reside in my heart, The Who particularly speak to mine. Just like The Kinks & The Jam/Paul Weller.
	9:21pm Ira: Hi Joe--can't believe you're not weighing in on the Stones vs. Who controversy!
	9:21pm TDK60: What's up, Ira, commenters.
	9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. & TheKinks too often miss the shortlist.
	9:22pm GratefulDan: tasty sounds reaching all the way to Toronto
	9:22pm ShelbyG: I SERIOUSLY have nothing sweet in my apartment. Except for weed brownies. I want chocolate but I don't want to put myself into a coma. What a stupid, silly dilemma.
	9:22pm melinda: hi friends
	9:22pm PNW THC: he probably should have gone to a therapist
	9:23pm georgia: Nice Eitzel recording
	9:23pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Off to such a great start, Ira. Been a few weeks already since I listened to you, especially because I was in Austin and Indianapolis seeing family. Took Amtrak the whole way! What a trip. I streamed WFMU a little but really enjoyed picking up the local stations. Found some great stuff.
	9:23pm ShelbyG: PNW THC: do you mean Jagger?
	9:24pm pgalub: Hey Ira and everyone! 🎸
	9:24pm Bruce S.: the Stones did a good version of cant always get what you want in rock and roll circus plus they looked super cool
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - Lennon dancing all goofy to them...
	9:24pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Also very appreciative of the time we talked about The Phil Silvers Show. I did get around to watching some episodes. I started routinely recording the Decades block overnight with Phil Silvers and Car 54, Dobie Gillis too and sometimes Our Miss Brooks. The Phil Silvers Show has quickly become one of my favorites, and both of the Nat Hiken-directed shows have such flashes of brilliance in them.
	9:25pm Joe B: ooh - I guess I will have to go with the Stones since one of their touring keyboardists appeared on my show. Ball is in your court Rabbit Bundrick!
	9:25pm ShelbyG: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	9:25pm Bruce S.: the audiance looked like they had rehearsed being an audiance
	9:26pm ShelbyG: link to The Who at RnR Circus
	9:26pm ShelbyG: It's so damn humid that my eye lids are sweating. Jeebus.
	9:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ShelbyG yeah. Someone said that when they all saw 'A Quick One' in Kids Are Alright in the movie theater - everyone stood & cheered @ the end.
	9:27pm georgia: ha ha ha ian whitcomb!
	9:28pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: On the train, I watched one Phil Silvers episode I couldn't stop thinking about, the one where he convinces the guy behind Around the World in 80 Days to do a contest for the first person to go around the world in 80 hours. The Army gets wind of the challenge and makes sure nobody can take advantage of the military, so Bilko and company decide to slap a Priority Express Baggage (P.E.B.) tag on Bilko because anything with that tag is treated as "grant it, fly it, don't ask any questions."
	9:28pm ShelbyG: ugh youtu.be...
	9:29pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: And then during an airport mishap, the sign winds up on a kid, and every time they try contacting an outpost to find the kid, they all just say "no kid here, just a PEB" because they don't want to get in trouble. And then the kid wins the $20,000 or whatever the prize was. So great.
	9:29pm thatguy: that's me - standing in the corner with a dunce cap in ... I'm the guy who asked on the comments section last week who William Parker was ... well I'm now partially educated - and thoroughly embarrassed ... sigh
	9:31pm TDK60: Hey, I didn't know who Catherine Rebeiro was till about 2016, so don't sweat it, buddy.
	9:31pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Anyway, if we're talking Who vs Stones, man that's a tough one.
	9:31pm steveo: I learn something every dang day on this station, thatguy, no shame in that
	9:31pm Bruce S.: Rosey, your comments have made me very happy, keep enjoying, you have great taste in comedy
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: Georgia, Ian use to be a regular on the party circuit in Altadena before trouble with his psychotic next door neighbor drove him out to Monrovia. He came back to Altadena to live out the rest of his life. He was a great guy and truly humble. RIP Ian.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: @Rosey: for sho...I just hate Mick, Roger is a damn man of the people...I love the working class vibe of The Who...they ring more true to me
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aways in over my head here. That's how you want your Culture - yeah? Swimming in it.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: I love this Jimmy London track so much!
	9:33pm Vince from Pearl: @Bruce S, Love your comment on the Stooges and the Ramones
	9:33pm georgia: franco: i have his autograph, not kidding
	9:33pm ShelbyG: @Rev: 100 billion gazillion %
	9:34pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: The Car 54 episode that parodied the destruction of the East Tremont section in the Bronx for the Cross-Bronx Expressway was brilliant too. Featured Molly Picon, the Jewish Yenta, who refused to give up her apartment to make way for a new interchange for the George Washington Bridge. Said something like why should I give up my dwelling so some schmuck from New Jersey with Bermuda shorts can get home five minutes faster. So darn prescient.
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: Treasure it Georgia. He was a great guy.
	9:35pm morphe: That last tune David Essex Stardust made me think of Mott the Hoople a. "...Forgot my six-string razor hit the sky " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubBpu3MHmtM
	9:35pm Bruce S.: I'm glad you read it Vince, thanks
	9:37pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: And I've loved some of the Jewish humor that pops up in those Nat Hiken shows too. There was a Bar Mitzvah episode of Car 54 that I really enjoyed, and some of the references, and even the music at the very end being in a minor key, indicated to me that the episode was definitely written by Jewish writers. The episode with Molly Picon that I just mentioned is another example because the East Tremont neighborhood was primarily Jewish. I definitely recall seeing some other really good references but can't remember the specifics. Also, I love it so much that Phil Silvers and Nat Hiken refused to work with all-white ensembles. That's so amazing and makes me so proud of them.
	9:37pm georgia: Who's William Parker?
	9:37pm TDK60: That's good to hear Franco. I dug Turn Me On but never heard other tracks.
	9:37pm Ira: Georgia, if I am correct, we have multiple Ian Whitcomb autographs. In case anything happens to one of them!
	9:37pm thatguy: ok now you're torturing me ...
	9:38pm georgia: Kidding! thatguy; you should never be embarrassed to ask questions! easy for me to say, but it's true.
	9:38pm Bruce S.: Ira, I'm sorry if I upset people with my Mets comments last week, I was just upset and I guess I was trying to be dramatic or something
	9:39pm morphe: Rosey - worked Alt HS 173 Boston Road '90-20?? Cross Bx, Bruckner, 287. I94 - Asthma and Destruction. and then CRack .. Did ya read RANDOM FAMILY???
	9:39pm thatguy: still ... here's my goto excuse - I live in Florida ...
	9:39pm DktrFaustus: Ahoy!
	9:40pm Ira: Actually, I think I'm the one torturing thatguy, by playing William Parker again. But of course I don't mean to at all. And look, I didn't tell William Parker to release 12 cd's of new music in 2021.
	9:40pm ShelbyG: eyelids sweating glasses fogging I like it hot, but this is somethin else
	9:41pm Franco Twinkie: Rosey, The author Jerome Charyn did a great expose on that motherfucker Robert Moses, who did his best to destroy the Bronx. The Library of Congress posted Charyns lecture on Youtube.
	9:42pm thatguy: could you convince him to play Big Ears next yr ?? or next next year ? I'm certain that Ashley would love to book him ...
	9:42pm GratefulDan: cool cool cool
	9:42pm morphe: Rosey - I worked in the RIDDER SCHOOL BUILDING on 173rd ... My long ago Ex Girlfriend's father grew up there 1940's His father was a survivor and a hat maker and actually suffered from Mercury poisoning from the making of the hats ..
	9:44pm Ira: morphe, first reading of your comment informed that you worked in the RIDDLER building, which has always been a dream of mine.
	9:44pm morphe: That Guy - Have ya read the England "Noddy Books?" "Why did the Kidnappers have BIGEARS???"
	9:46pm thatguy: kidnappers ? clueless - remember - I live in Florida ...
	9:46pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I really should read more about the history of NYC, especially because it's all interesting to me in general. But my grandpa grew up in the shadows of Yankee Stadium. Heard plenty of stories about how glamorous Grand Concourse was, how many weddings and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs happened there. That highway is a tragedy. It tore up neighborhoods, causes a ton of pollution, and for what? The most inefficient mode of transportation possible? Tragic. Of course there's a very sordid history of major highways, especially interstates, completely destroying neighborhoods where marginalized communities lived, like Black communities. Enormous amounts of land and wealth, just gone or cut off by a freeway.
	9:47pm morphe: IRA - I think ya too decent to work in THE RIDDLER BLDG... Red Cross MSF Doctors Without Borders Canna' see ya workin' with the Riddler.. PERHAPS THE HOST OF JEOPARDY!!!!!!
	9:47pm thatguy: and the Governor says were not allowed to read books ...
	9:48pm Ira: Well it could be the Riddler building the way the Chrysler building is the Chrysler building--they don't have anything to do with it anymore, do they? I too should read more about the history of NYC.
	9:51pm TDK60: What are they gonna put on the marquee?
	9:51pm morphe: THATGUY - Noddy was a protagonist in an (ultimately racist) series of famous UK Imperialst books from (1930=>???) .. Big Ears was his side kick - Sort of like Riccocet Rabbit and Droop Along .. Big Ears was captured by kiddnapppers Hence WHY DID THE KIDNAPPERS HAVE BIGEARS .. BADUMPPDUM NODDY WOULD NOT PAY THE RANSOM >> SORRY = TMI goodnight all .. heading to the late night postbox to mail a check = true story NYC 10009
	9:53pm ShelbyG: sigh so chill, this song
	9:54pm GratefulDan: butter
	9:54pm morphe: Last Call : the destruction of the BX and almost the LES by Moses .. Jane Jacobs helped save the LES from a major cross (e-w across 5th street) LIFE AND DEATH OF AMERICAN CITIES https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/oct/14/jane-jacobs-death-and-life-rereading
	9:55pm ShelbyG: thanks for no sax
	9:55pm Franco Twinkie: Rosey, us folks in the West SGV have been watching an arm wrestling match between Caltrans and the City of South Pasadena for years. Caltrans says 'Let us ruin your city and push the 710 thru." South Pasadena, which has tons of money and an educated and activist citizens say's 'Just try it.' The people of The Bronx were neither, so they got shat upon.
	9:57pm yippie: also last week you played almighty opp which is music from a puppet show
	9:58pm Franco Twinkie: The bookstore was Vromans?
	10:00pm yippie: william parkers whole family is great

	10:02pm Robm: Hello fellow listeners
	10:03pm Robm: @TDK60 why would i want to go to east orange
	10:03pm Bruce S.: This is really great thanks
	10:04pm morphe: Another Parker - There was a Parker as the singer of the NYC group Certain General .. Never spoke with him but they were quite good '80? https://trouserpress.com/reviews/certain-general/
	10:04pm TDK60: To say "Howdy, East Orange"?
	10:05pm morphe: IRA - YER FRENCH IS EXCELLENT .. THANKS SO .. must to the street .. Thanks Ira and all !!!!!!!
	10:05pm Hams: in my college dj years someone called up & told me the track was rubbing them the wrong way & wanted me to change it; it was william parker's rendition of "balm in gilead". beautiful solo bass. i told'm the punk show would be on next.
	10:06pm Robm: @TDK60 no thank you
	10:06pm displayedname: this song makes me wanna smoke a cigarette on a surfboard

	10:16pm ShelbyG: hot track
	10:17pm Little Danny: Yeah I dig this too.
	10:17pm jt: Mulya Aladar ... I love the low-fi incompetence but performed with virtuosity. This sums up my late 90's listening experience..
	10:18pm yippie: william patricia and miriam 3 great artists
	10:19pm Ira: jt: The incompetence was mine. The lo-fi track was the belatedly entered Catholic Block song.
	10:19pm thatsheepishguy: this is cool ? is the Barbara track new ?
	10:20pm thatsheepishguy: female Nick Cave ??
	10:20pm Bruce S.: Are you asking if this is cool? yes I would say so
	10:20pm jt: no Ira, the incompetence was my ears... too much of my rock concert past still foils a well placed stylus
	10:21pm thatsheepishguy: yes - misplaced ?? this is VERY cool ...
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: shavin' off yet another inadvertent Covid Beard for 20min.s ...runnin' a bath ...which is arguably better than surfin' on heroin ...whad I miss ??
	10:21pm JT: this is magic jt, i must change my handle i suppose
	10:22pm ShelbyG: no offense, but this just makes me think of myself in the 90's...depressing.. sometimes depressing is what you need...
	10:22pm Christian: Must be the remix.
	10:22pm jt: Plenty of room for more jt's... let James Taylor and Justin Timberlake duke it out..
	10:22pm chresti: Hi Ira and company!
	10:23pm Little Danny: I ❤️ depressing music!

	10:24pm coelacanth∅: ...or, that's Michael's entry.
	10:24pm Christian: Alex had a bit of a Nazi thing going on. That song, and "Riding through the Reich." But I think it was all for shock effect.
	10:24pm thatsheepishguy: alright then: WRCU seventies and WVUM late seventies ...
	10:25pm Michael Shore: great minds, coela... ;)
	10:25pm Ira: Christian: . . . and Tav's moustache.
	10:25pm jt: JT, Though, may I suggest choosing a Horror-Monster persona? I always admired the Creature from The Black Lagoon, but I chose Frankenstein for his Geneva, Swiss Heritage ...
	10:26pm ShelbyG: This Porest track, from when??? I really love this.
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: female NickCave: Anita Lane? PJ Harvey? Also the JamesTaylor who plays Stax type Hammond Organ / Mod Jazz... Oh yes quite to susceptible to the Glum Puppets. I am the Grunge age group after all...

	10:47pm JT: this deserves a cover
	10:47pm ShelbyG: chresti: it is

	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monk is Home.
	11:05pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I had to run to the store. It's straight up the street. I picked one song for the trip - Spec Bebop. The model hum of high voltage transmission lines held down by the persistent clip-clop of horses. Was that you with your whole arm across the keyboard?
	11:05pm thatsheepishguy: what would you pay to watch J Richman play Road Runner ?? Just once ...
	11:05pm Ira: Yes.

	9:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reductive, Raw - Refreshing ...Ramones ! ...bring some home today...
	9:09pm ShelbyG: Rick G: here, too, in VT.
	9:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Ira, georgia and the miraculous!
	9:10pm steveo: Today I got notice for a news story on my phone "Why Linda Ronstadt thinks the Stones are better than the Ramones". I did not click. Proud of that. Great opening. Having a good time.
	9:11pm GratefulDan: tasty
	9:11pm Corey: Evening Ira, Georgia, and listeners! Molly's whistling is resonating with the rainstorm blowing through right now.
	9:11pm Bruce S.: well done Steveo
	9:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Stones are the Greatest Rock'n'Roll band ...we're a Rock band'... - Roger Daltrey
	9:12pm Rick G: @ShelbyG: stay cool!
	9:12pm ShelbyG: I'll take The Who over The Stones every single goddam day
	9:12pm Bruce S.: Great opening set Ira, really puts me in the mood for a good one
	9:13pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: This set!!!
	9:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'I am an ass-licking Stones fan.' - PeteTownshend
	9:14pm listener 126464: Gotta get that Molly Lewis ep. Hi everyone.
	9:14pm deo: Really, really enjoy Tuesday nights.
	9:14pm Chop Scott: I was in a rare bar outing earlier this evening and "Ohm" came on. I thank you!
	9:14pm ShelbyG: Rock n' Roll Circus, Mick felt the same way....I gots my opinions
	9:14pm Joe B: Hi Ira, show sounding great
	9:16pm Bruce S.: you could argue that both the stones and the Ramones made Rock and Roll contemporarey for the decades in which they started out
	9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ the Circus - the Stones were playing Host for days & were fried - & BrianJones was a waste sadly. TheWho were hot off touring the USA & ganging momentum. & you know what? I still think the Stones were better there than Jagger's vanity probly allowed him to see...
	9:18pm Bruce S.: Contemporary r & r stooges and ramones really did it first I think
	9:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho reside @ the center of my heart, btw.
	9:20pm ShelbyG: Bruce S & Rev: all of these bands reside in my heart, The Who particularly speak to mine. Just like The Kinks & The Jam/Paul Weller.
	9:21pm Ira: Hi Joe--can't believe you're not weighing in on the Stones vs. Who controversy!
	9:21pm TDK60: What's up, Ira, commenters.
	9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. & TheKinks too often miss the shortlist.
	9:22pm GratefulDan: tasty sounds reaching all the way to Toronto
	9:22pm ShelbyG: I SERIOUSLY have nothing sweet in my apartment. Except for weed brownies. I want chocolate but I don't want to put myself into a coma. What a stupid, silly dilemma.
	9:22pm melinda: hi friends
	9:22pm PNW THC: he probably should have gone to a therapist
	9:23pm georgia: Nice Eitzel recording
	9:23pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Off to such a great start, Ira. Been a few weeks already since I listened to you, especially because I was in Austin and Indianapolis seeing family. Took Amtrak the whole way! What a trip. I streamed WFMU a little but really enjoyed picking up the local stations. Found some great stuff.
	9:23pm ShelbyG: PNW THC: do you mean Jagger?
	9:24pm pgalub: Hey Ira and everyone! 🎸
	9:24pm Bruce S.: the Stones did a good version of cant always get what you want in rock and roll circus plus they looked super cool
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - Lennon dancing all goofy to them...
	9:24pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Also very appreciative of the time we talked about The Phil Silvers Show. I did get around to watching some episodes. I started routinely recording the Decades block overnight with Phil Silvers and Car 54, Dobie Gillis too and sometimes Our Miss Brooks. The Phil Silvers Show has quickly become one of my favorites, and both of the Nat Hiken-directed shows have such flashes of brilliance in them.
	9:25pm Joe B: ooh - I guess I will have to go with the Stones since one of their touring keyboardists appeared on my show. Ball is in your court Rabbit Bundrick!
	9:25pm ShelbyG: external-content.duckduckgo.com...
	9:25pm Bruce S.: the audiance looked like they had rehearsed being an audiance
	9:26pm ShelbyG: link to The Who at RnR Circus
	9:26pm ShelbyG: It's so damn humid that my eye lids are sweating. Jeebus.
	9:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ShelbyG yeah. Someone said that when they all saw 'A Quick One' in Kids Are Alright in the movie theater - everyone stood & cheered @ the end.
	9:27pm georgia: ha ha ha ian whitcomb!
	9:28pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: On the train, I watched one Phil Silvers episode I couldn't stop thinking about, the one where he convinces the guy behind Around the World in 80 Days to do a contest for the first person to go around the world in 80 hours. The Army gets wind of the challenge and makes sure nobody can take advantage of the military, so Bilko and company decide to slap a Priority Express Baggage (P.E.B.) tag on Bilko because anything with that tag is treated as "grant it, fly it, don't ask any questions."
	9:28pm ShelbyG: ugh youtu.be...
	9:29pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: And then during an airport mishap, the sign winds up on a kid, and every time they try contacting an outpost to find the kid, they all just say "no kid here, just a PEB" because they don't want to get in trouble. And then the kid wins the $20,000 or whatever the prize was. So great.
	9:29pm thatguy: that's me - standing in the corner with a dunce cap in ... I'm the guy who asked on the comments section last week who William Parker was ... well I'm now partially educated - and thoroughly embarrassed ... sigh
	9:31pm TDK60: Hey, I didn't know who Catherine Rebeiro was till about 2016, so don't sweat it, buddy.
	9:31pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Anyway, if we're talking Who vs Stones, man that's a tough one.
	9:31pm steveo: I learn something every dang day on this station, thatguy, no shame in that
	9:31pm Bruce S.: Rosey, your comments have made me very happy, keep enjoying, you have great taste in comedy
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: Georgia, Ian use to be a regular on the party circuit in Altadena before trouble with his psychotic next door neighbor drove him out to Monrovia. He came back to Altadena to live out the rest of his life. He was a great guy and truly humble. RIP Ian.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: @Rosey: for sho...I just hate Mick, Roger is a damn man of the people...I love the working class vibe of The Who...they ring more true to me
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aways in over my head here. That's how you want your Culture - yeah? Swimming in it.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: I love this Jimmy London track so much!
	9:33pm Vince from Pearl: @Bruce S, Love your comment on the Stooges and the Ramones
	9:33pm georgia: franco: i have his autograph, not kidding
	9:33pm ShelbyG: @Rev: 100 billion gazillion %
	9:34pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: The Car 54 episode that parodied the destruction of the East Tremont section in the Bronx for the Cross-Bronx Expressway was brilliant too. Featured Molly Picon, the Jewish Yenta, who refused to give up her apartment to make way for a new interchange for the George Washington Bridge. Said something like why should I give up my dwelling so some schmuck from New Jersey with Bermuda shorts can get home five minutes faster. So darn prescient.
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: Treasure it Georgia. He was a great guy.
	9:35pm morphe: That last tune David Essex Stardust made me think of Mott the Hoople a. "...Forgot my six-string razor hit the sky " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubBpu3MHmtM
	9:35pm Bruce S.: I'm glad you read it Vince, thanks
	9:37pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: And I've loved some of the Jewish humor that pops up in those Nat Hiken shows too. There was a Bar Mitzvah episode of Car 54 that I really enjoyed, and some of the references, and even the music at the very end being in a minor key, indicated to me that the episode was definitely written by Jewish writers. The episode with Molly Picon that I just mentioned is another example because the East Tremont neighborhood was primarily Jewish. I definitely recall seeing some other really good references but can't remember the specifics. Also, I love it so much that Phil Silvers and Nat Hiken refused to work with all-white ensembles. That's so amazing and makes me so proud of them.
	9:37pm georgia: Who's William Parker?
	9:37pm TDK60: That's good to hear Franco. I dug Turn Me On but never heard other tracks.
	9:37pm Ira: Georgia, if I am correct, we have multiple Ian Whitcomb autographs. In case anything happens to one of them!
	9:37pm thatguy: ok now you're torturing me ...
	9:38pm georgia: Kidding! thatguy; you should never be embarrassed to ask questions! easy for me to say, but it's true.
	9:38pm Bruce S.: Ira, I'm sorry if I upset people with my Mets comments last week, I was just upset and I guess I was trying to be dramatic or something
	9:39pm morphe: Rosey - worked Alt HS 173 Boston Road '90-20?? Cross Bx, Bruckner, 287. I94 - Asthma and Destruction. and then CRack .. Did ya read RANDOM FAMILY???
	9:39pm thatguy: still ... here's my goto excuse - I live in Florida ...
	9:39pm DktrFaustus: Ahoy!
	9:40pm Ira: Actually, I think I'm the one torturing thatguy, by playing William Parker again. But of course I don't mean to at all. And look, I didn't tell William Parker to release 12 cd's of new music in 2021.
	9:40pm ShelbyG: eyelids sweating glasses fogging I like it hot, but this is somethin else
	9:41pm Franco Twinkie: Rosey, The author Jerome Charyn did a great expose on that motherfucker Robert Moses, who did his best to destroy the Bronx. The Library of Congress posted Charyns lecture on Youtube.
	9:42pm thatguy: could you convince him to play Big Ears next yr ?? or next next year ? I'm certain that Ashley would love to book him ...
	9:42pm GratefulDan: cool cool cool
	9:42pm morphe: Rosey - I worked in the RIDDER SCHOOL BUILDING on 173rd ... My long ago Ex Girlfriend's father grew up there 1940's His father was a survivor and a hat maker and actually suffered from Mercury poisoning from the making of the hats ..
	9:44pm Ira: morphe, first reading of your comment informed that you worked in the RIDDLER building, which has always been a dream of mine.
	9:44pm morphe: That Guy - Have ya read the England "Noddy Books?" "Why did the Kidnappers have BIGEARS???"
	9:46pm thatguy: kidnappers ? clueless - remember - I live in Florida ...
	9:46pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I really should read more about the history of NYC, especially because it's all interesting to me in general. But my grandpa grew up in the shadows of Yankee Stadium. Heard plenty of stories about how glamorous Grand Concourse was, how many weddings and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs happened there. That highway is a tragedy. It tore up neighborhoods, causes a ton of pollution, and for what? The most inefficient mode of transportation possible? Tragic. Of course there's a very sordid history of major highways, especially interstates, completely destroying neighborhoods where marginalized communities lived, like Black communities. Enormous amounts of land and wealth, just gone or cut off by a freeway.
	9:47pm morphe: IRA - I think ya too decent to work in THE RIDDLER BLDG... Red Cross MSF Doctors Without Borders Canna' see ya workin' with the Riddler.. PERHAPS THE HOST OF JEOPARDY!!!!!!
	9:47pm thatguy: and the Governor says were not allowed to read books ...
	9:48pm Ira: Well it could be the Riddler building the way the Chrysler building is the Chrysler building--they don't have anything to do with it anymore, do they? I too should read more about the history of NYC.
	9:51pm TDK60: What are they gonna put on the marquee?
	9:51pm morphe: THATGUY - Noddy was a protagonist in an (ultimately racist) series of famous UK Imperialst books from (1930=>???) .. Big Ears was his side kick - Sort of like Riccocet Rabbit and Droop Along .. Big Ears was captured by kiddnapppers Hence WHY DID THE KIDNAPPERS HAVE BIGEARS .. BADUMPPDUM NODDY WOULD NOT PAY THE RANSOM >> SORRY = TMI goodnight all .. heading to the late night postbox to mail a check = true story NYC 10009
	9:53pm ShelbyG: sigh so chill, this song
	9:54pm GratefulDan: butter
	9:54pm morphe: Last Call : the destruction of the BX and almost the LES by Moses .. Jane Jacobs helped save the LES from a major cross (e-w across 5th street) LIFE AND DEATH OF AMERICAN CITIES https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/oct/14/jane-jacobs-death-and-life-rereading
	9:55pm ShelbyG: thanks for no sax
	9:55pm Franco Twinkie: Rosey, us folks in the West SGV have been watching an arm wrestling match between Caltrans and the City of South Pasadena for years. Caltrans says 'Let us ruin your city and push the 710 thru." South Pasadena, which has tons of money and an educated and activist citizens say's 'Just try it.' The people of The Bronx were neither, so they got shat upon.
	9:57pm yippie: also last week you played almighty opp which is music from a puppet show
	9:58pm Franco Twinkie: The bookstore was Vromans?

	10:05pm morphe: IRA - YER FRENCH IS EXCELLENT .. THANKS SO .. must to the street .. Thanks Ira and all !!!!!!!
	10:05pm Hams: in my college dj years someone called up & told me the track was rubbing them the wrong way & wanted me to change it; it was william parker's rendition of "balm in gilead". beautiful solo bass. i told'm the punk show would be on next.
	10:06pm Robm: @TDK60 no thank you
	10:06pm displayedname: this song makes me wanna smoke a cigarette on a surfboard

	10:17pm Little Danny: Yeah I dig this too.
	10:17pm jt: Mulya Aladar ... I love the low-fi incompetence but performed with virtuosity. This sums up my late 90's listening experience..
	10:18pm yippie: william patricia and miriam 3 great artists
	10:19pm Ira: jt: The incompetence was mine. The lo-fi track was the belatedly entered Catholic Block song.

	10:20pm thatsheepishguy: female Nick Cave ??
	10:20pm Bruce S.: Are you asking if this is cool? yes I would say so

	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: shavin' off yet another inadvertent Covid Beard for 20min.s ...runnin' a bath ...which is arguably better than surfin' on heroin ...whad I miss ??
	10:21pm JT: this is magic jt, i must change my handle i suppose
	10:22pm ShelbyG: no offense, but this just makes me think of myself in the 90's...depressing.. sometimes depressing is what you need...
	10:22pm Christian: Must be the remix.
	10:22pm jt: Plenty of room for more jt's... let James Taylor and Justin Timberlake duke it out..

	10:25pm Ira: Christian: . . . and Tav's moustache.

	10:26pm ShelbyG: This Porest track, from when??? I really love this.
	10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: female NickCave: Anita Lane? PJ Harvey? Also the JamesTaylor who plays Stax type Hammond Organ / Mod Jazz... Oh yes quite to susceptible to the Glum Puppets. I am the Grunge age group after all...

	11:05pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I had to run to the store. It's straight up the street. I picked one song for the trip - Spec Bebop. The model hum of high voltage transmission lines held down by the persistent clip-clop of horses. Was that you with your whole arm across the keyboard?
