	9:06am cricket: good morning, everybody!
	9:07am StringOFperils: ...and good morning. Got a little snow...
	9:09am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Dry and Dusty" by "Grant / McGuire / Flaherty" I am so happy this type of music is still being played. Seems essential in this era of A.I.
	👻 9:09am Handy Haversack: Morning, cricket, crickteers, everybody.
	👻 9:09am chresti: A little snow in TO?
	9:11am StringOFperils: ↳ chresti @9:09 Yup. Couple cups of icing sugar out there. Hanging in down there, ok? Hope so.
	👻 9:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ StringOFperils @9:11 We got a dusting in NYC as well. Glad to see you on the boards, chresti.
	👻 9:15am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Greeting cricket, it’s a pleasure to be with you all here today
	9:16am Mark T: ↳ Song: "Come Be My Rainbow" by "Riley Puckett" Love it.
	9:17am yippie: i really like riley puckett
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: Does anyone know why reception would be better here when we set it to FM Mono instead of FM Stereo?
	9:17am luka: gm Cricket and crew. waiting for the second city water test to pass here in Richmond, VA.
	👻 9:18am chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @9:11 Last night was the first night we didn't smell smoke but the AQI is still up there @157 Thanks
	9:19am bobob: Riley was born in Alpharetta Ga..Died in East point ga ..Food poisoning
	9:21am bobobob: hey Handy ..thanks forda mono stereo info
	9:25am Delicate Chester: Hello Cricket, all. Let's get our pads on and have a jolly good innings
	👻 9:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ bobobob @9:21 Wish I knew why it worked that way! Maybe I'll ask Scott. He knows all!
	9:30am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:28 Ho Handy. I knew this and put the FM radio on mono a lot if the stereo is too staticy. But I never looked up the why.
	9:31am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:28 FM bandwidth and RFI noise vs MONO explained > www.radioworld.com...
	9:31am Don in Tampere: Since this is a show that probably attracts a fair number of folk music fans, I should mention that the program for the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, the biggest and oldest folk festival in Finland, is starting to be announced, and, also, anyone who wants to come as a "pelimanni" in return for a free all-week festival pass can currently apply. Just in case anyone would like to combine a Nordic vacation with some music. I've been every year since 2016 except during Covid and it's a very cool festival. kaustinen.net...
	9:31am bobob: Georgia Jokers is a good name bc there plenty to go around down here!!!!!!
	9:31am yippie: arthur collins also recorded hannah wont you open that door in about 1904. it must have inspired open the door homer somehow
	👻 9:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:30 I just discovered it by accident. Our reception had been so good for months and then in December got real staticky -- I wondered if there was a new unshielded electronic device in the bldg. somewhere. Then accidentally hit the "Band" button and was all "Whoa!"
	9:32am newton: stereo needs more bandwidth which then is subject to more noise and degradation.
	9:33am coelacanth∅: 'morning cricket, everybodys
	9:33am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Waltz for Things with Wings" by "Magic Tuber Stri... I listen to this and wonder why a label that put out this and Fed Lane's Icepick to the Moon was not interested in Banjo Machine Music....
	👻 9:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ StringOFperils @9:31 Thanks, SOp! Wish I'd known weeks ago!
	9:35am common: good morn
	9:36am cricket: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:33 what's that? i haven't heard of it, but the name is highly intriguing...
	9:38am coelacanth∅: years ago when i lived in nj i often would get cleaner reception with mono, and required a mono setting when shopping for a car stereo, for wfmu (which eventually was not an option anymore) - but i'd choose a bit of static in stereo over clean mono, usually.
	9:39am cricket: ↳ TDK60 @9:30 hey TDK, I wanted to let you know, I've been working through a backlog of emails, and I'm hoping to respond to yours as soon as possible! don't want you to think you're being ignored. very sorry for the lengthy delay
	9:41am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Mole in the Ground" by "Weirs" Sounds like Jake Xerxes Fussell gone experimental.
	9:43am Don in Tampere: Not sure if you mean Icepick to the Moon or Banjo Machine Music. The former is the first album by Rev. Fred Lane in 30-something years (I first discovered him on WFMU on a visit in the late 80s when his Car Radio Jerome album was getting airplay). Banjo Machine Music is my second solo album, which has been unsuccessfully looking for a label for quite some time, a drone/loop/feedback/improvisation project with remixes by other musicians including Pekko Käppi, whom I mentioned in my e-mail. I still plan to get it out this year, even if I have to self-publish. The money isn't the issue, but the right label might expose it to a few people.
	9:45am Don in Tampere: ↳ Fredericks @9:41 It brought back memories of our not altogether serious drone metal banjo trio project of a few years ago that we called Banj 0))). We did two gigs and one CD-EP, which contained long drone metal versions of Oh Death and Boil Them Cabbage Down. Here's a link if anyone is feeling masochistic. hulina.bandcamp.com...
	9:45am listener 126464: This show is required listening!
	9:46am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:45 Thanks, Don.
	9:47am Don in Tampere: I may have to try this West Hill Records. I first got the wrong one, a jazz label in the UK.
	9:47am Fred and Alan: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:01 Don in Tampere love from Fred and Alan
	9:48am Don in Tampere: Hi Fred and Alan, love back at ya!
	9:48am StringOFperils: ↳ listener 126464 @9:45 Agreed. Like a rich vein of gold just sitting here while the rest of the world is lining up to invest in the plastic mines.
	👻 9:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:45 Thanks, Don! Do you know Muskeg Mudsuck? Gets some FMU play sometimes. Ken and Michele have both played him. muskegmudsuck.bandcamp.com Death Metal Banjo Trance from Alaska
	👻 9:50am Bonnie Prince Jamie: ↳ Song: "Lectern (excerpt)" by "Chris Watson" Love the very surprised sounding birds (?)
	👻 9:50am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:49 Oh yes!
	9:51am Don in Tampere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:49 Thanks, I didn't, will check him out. He's had more luck with airplay than I have. As far as I know, nothing I have sent has ever been played.
	👻 9:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:51 I don't see how something like Banj O))) wouldn't get played!
	9:54am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:45 I just realized Jake Xerxes Fussell and Eugene Chadbourne are both from North Carolina.
	9:54am robotashley: Good morning!
	9:58am Don in Tampere: ↳ Fredericks @9:54 Yep, the Doc is right there in Greensboro. I actually opened for him with my then-duo Fractal Cauliflowers the last time he was in Tampere.
	9:59am Don in Tampere: I hadn't heard of Jake Xerxes Fussell, another one to check out. Nathan Bowles is also in NC as far as I know.
	10:02am Don in Tampere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 I think I had given up by the time that one came out. Brian D did bring my solo album and a couple of Dark Bottle records to the stacks recently but I'm not aware that anyone has played anything. It's time for the daily workout now, so I'll be listening but on headphones so not chatting. So I'll go ahead and say thanks for the show, the chats and the new music tips! Off tonight to an anarchists against Putin thing at the local punk club featuring the only member of Pussy Riot that escaped the country.
	👻 10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Don in Tampere @10:02 Later on, Don!
	10:06am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:59 I own and really enjoy Good and Green Again. According to Pitchfork his newest, When I’m Called, is his fifth and best album.
	10:07am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:45 that’s fantastic! messed around with contact-miked banjo through a fuzz pedal—it makes a beautiful racket. there’s a mercifully short cover of a palace bros song up if you want to hear the sizzle bggb.bandcamp.com...
	👻 10:07am melinda: I think I stumbled upon Magic Tuber String Band doing a search on something you played on the show, then a week or two later you played them on the show! Synchronicity, sort of.
	10:11am cricket: thanks for all the links to your banjo experiments, everybody, can't wait to listen
	10:12am cricket: ↳ melinda @10:07 & that's so cool! the crickronicity
	10:16am northguineahills: morning cricketeers, bowlers, batsmen /(best cricket pun i could come up w/ so earlie in the 'morn....
	10:16am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Cricket and Everyone.
	10:19am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:59 For some reason Nathan Bowles frequently slips my mind.
	10:19am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Besoured" by "Bug Bus Piano" This piece is wonderful.
	10:20am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:58 Hey, that seems like a good pairing.
	10:23am JohnEBGood: Love the Country Blues DJ Cricket! Happy New Year : )
	10:24am StringOFperils: Open tunings open doors
	10:29am JohnEBGood: Wow! Thanks String. Open Doors open ??????
	👻 10:37am chresti: Of the music kingdom?
	10:37am StringOFperils: ...communication with others. Step across the thresholds and see.
	10:41am StringOFperils: Other rooms?
	👻 10:41am chresti: Whenever I attempt to tune the guitar by ear, I often end up breaking a string.
	10:44am Barney Grubbs: ↳ StringOFperils @10:24 they are also good if you have a guitar sitting around and a toddler careening around who likes to whack the strings (though it has been a few years now).
	10:45am StringOFperils: Baby's first chord
	10:46am StringOFperils: ...well, aside from the umbilical cord
	10:47am Barney Grubbs: much more difficult to tune
	👻 10:47am Handy Haversack: Gotta get started on brunch. Thanks, cricket! A treat, as ever!
	10:48am cricket: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:47 thank you so much! enjoy the brunch!!
	10:49am JohnEBGood: It is 1/11/2025 In New Port Richey, Florida, United States of America, North America, Earth : )
	10:50am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Cricket (and Everyone). It is always a delight when I can listen.
	10:51am greg g: Thank you Cricket . Its been a nice soundtrack for the morning.
	10:53am RCU-Keith: What a great show! It's always a delight to hear the sounds of Magic Tuber Stringband and Kinloch Nelson on a Saturday morning. I'm really curious now to look more into the cemetery conversations. That's so fascinating. Thanks, Cricket!
	10:54am cricket: gonna start logging out, cleaning up, & getting ready to skedaddle - thanks so much for listening & chatting with me this morning, everybody! hope you all have a great weekend
	👻 10:55am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Wonderful show cricket!
	10:55am StringOFperils: Thanks, Cricket. :)
	10:56am TDK60: Well, I'm fairly folked up for the day. Thanks, Cricket.
	10:57am newton: thanks cricket!
	10:59am Fredericks: Great show, Cricket, thank you.
	10:59am northguineahills: thanks cricket!
	👻 11:03am chresti: thanks cricket!

	9:54am robotashley: Good morning!
	9:58am Don in Tampere: ↳ Fredericks @9:54 Yep, the Doc is right there in Greensboro. I actually opened for him with my then-duo Fractal Cauliflowers the last time he was in Tampere.
	9:59am Don in Tampere: I hadn't heard of Jake Xerxes Fussell, another one to check out. Nathan Bowles is also in NC as far as I know.
	10:02am Don in Tampere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:52 I think I had given up by the time that one came out. Brian D did bring my solo album and a couple of Dark Bottle records to the stacks recently but I'm not aware that anyone has played anything. It's time for the daily workout now, so I'll be listening but on headphones so not chatting. So I'll go ahead and say thanks for the show, the chats and the new music tips! Off tonight to an anarchists against Putin thing at the local punk club featuring the only member of Pussy Riot that escaped the country.
	👻 10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Don in Tampere @10:02 Later on, Don!
	10:06am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:59 I own and really enjoy Good and Green Again. According to Pitchfork his newest, When I’m Called, is his fifth and best album.
	10:07am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:45 that’s fantastic! messed around with contact-miked banjo through a fuzz pedal—it makes a beautiful racket. there’s a mercifully short cover of a palace bros song up if you want to hear the sizzle bggb.bandcamp.com...
	👻 10:07am melinda: I think I stumbled upon Magic Tuber String Band doing a search on something you played on the show, then a week or two later you played them on the show! Synchronicity, sort of.
	10:11am cricket: thanks for all the links to your banjo experiments, everybody, can't wait to listen
	10:12am cricket: ↳ melinda @10:07 & that's so cool! the crickronicity
	10:16am northguineahills: morning cricketeers, bowlers, batsmen /(best cricket pun i could come up w/ so earlie in the 'morn....
	10:16am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Cricket and Everyone.
	10:19am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:59 For some reason Nathan Bowles frequently slips my mind.
	10:19am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Besoured" by "Bug Bus Piano" This piece is wonderful.
	10:20am Fredericks: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:58 Hey, that seems like a good pairing.

	👻 10:37am chresti: Of the music kingdom?
	10:37am StringOFperils: ...communication with others. Step across the thresholds and see.
	10:41am StringOFperils: Other rooms?
	👻 10:41am chresti: Whenever I attempt to tune the guitar by ear, I often end up breaking a string.
	10:44am Barney Grubbs: ↳ StringOFperils @10:24 they are also good if you have a guitar sitting around and a toddler careening around who likes to whack the strings (though it has been a few years now).
	10:45am StringOFperils: Baby's first chord
	10:46am StringOFperils: ...well, aside from the umbilical cord
	10:47am Barney Grubbs: much more difficult to tune
	👻 10:47am Handy Haversack: Gotta get started on brunch. Thanks, cricket! A treat, as ever!
	10:48am cricket: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:47 thank you so much! enjoy the brunch!!

	10:51am greg g: Thank you Cricket . Its been a nice soundtrack for the morning.
	10:53am RCU-Keith: What a great show! It's always a delight to hear the sounds of Magic Tuber Stringband and Kinloch Nelson on a Saturday morning. I'm really curious now to look more into the cemetery conversations. That's so fascinating. Thanks, Cricket!
