Listener comments!
	7:11pm Sean Daily: First comment! Woo hoo!
	7:13pm The Log Lady: I'm gonna call you Uncle Joe Mistletoe from now on!
	7:21pm Joe: For just this show, that's okay, but don't spread it around!
	7:29pm Tulkinghorn: Uncle Mistletoe! Sinister, or what?
	7:31pm Sean Daily: You know, I could say all kinds of crude things about Santa being stuck in Little Rita Faye's chimney. But I won't.
	7:32pm John: Is there a podcast of this show that I can download...great tunes man!
	7:33pm The Log Lady: Your restraint is admirable, Sean.
	7:35pm Tulkinghorn: I'm informed that Uncle Mistletoe was 'married' to an Aunt Holly. Don't believe it, myself.
	7:39pm Joe: Podcast...someday!
	7:03pm Olga: Wow, I took "I fell out of a Christmas tree" a little too literally. As in she fell out of the tree and onto her head... which is why her daddy won't hit her. She's kinda special...
	8:37pm Vicki: My Mom was born on Christmas day 1952 and Little Rita Fayes song was my mom's song! My mom had a VERY old 45 with that song on it but these days who has a record player?!?!? Just didn't feel like Christmas without hearing that song! I love it! "When my birthday rolls around they close up all the stores in town and have a holiday for me!"

Mon. Jan 13th, 9am - Noon: Surface Noise Live from Lincoln Center with Special Guest Don Fleming (More info...)
Tune in on Monday morning, January 13th, for a special remote broadcast of Surface Noise from Lincoln Center's Library of the Performing Arts. Joe and his special guest Don Fleming will be broadcasting live from the Bruno C. Walter Auditorium, playing records they have selected from the Performing Arts library's vast Music and Recorded Archival Sound Collection. Joe and Don have delved deep to fish out rare and interesting music to share, hopefully playing some things not heard before on WFMU.
