Listener comments!
	9:03pm listening out there: Hello...
	9:03pm P-90: HIrene!
	9:06pm jon: hi irene and loyal trudelians. great start
	9:14pm Mike Sin: Got it all cranked up live and loud. Really do enjoy this PH track.
	9:21pm still b/p: I like the pic. Someone there on W 82nd decided to lively up the stoop, and on a smaller architectural scale sorta answered what the lightmeisters did with projection on Westminster Abbey in London recently. There ought to be a happy pairing of daytime chalk festival and nighttime light festival somewhere. www.theguardian.com...
	9:26pm melinda: Nice to hear John Cale.
	9:31pm Tome: everything perfect almost . Irene.
	9:58pm Mike East: He's singing the french horn line from God Only Knows, right?
	9:58pm Michael Shelley: Feel Flows = best record ever?
	10:07pm Mike East: Its a beautiful melody. Sounds great.
	10:09pm Mike East: (I didn't mean any plagiarism involved, for the record. just something I heard...and enjoyed)
	10:09pm Van in DC: Late. Hi Irene and everyone.
	10:11pm Listener Robert: Reminds me of ~3 yrs. ago when a duet played a composition of theirs at a pagan retreat I attended, and I mentioned afterward how much it sounded like the theme from "World War 1", the CBS TV series from 50 yrs. ago. They said they never heard it. Afterward a friend of mine who was there asked, "Did you just call out the musicians? Because that would be a very heathen thing to do."
	10:13pm Mike East: We're all drawing from the same pool.
	10:17pm herb.nyc: Nice live set - let's have the Sharp Things play halftime at the super bowl. Or would the audience be offended by real music?
	10:18pm Mike East: I don't think it would offend them so much as bewilder them, herb.
	10:22pm JakeGould: Hi.
	10:26pm V Priceless: Hi Irene - Yay Nektar!
	10:29pm George Jefferson: Diggin' this Nektar!
	10:34pm herb.nyc: Oy, no T in SCHWARZ
	10:35pm Todd-o-phonic: What a great organ sound on Brinsley Schwarz...
	10:35pm herb.nyc: Brinsley Schwarz bewilders NFL.
	10:42pm Santos L Halper: Great set Irene. Nice to hear the Giant
	10:43pm Listener Robert: FYI, here's the piece (by Morton Gould) I was comparing that duet's piece to: www.youtube.com... I don't know if that duet ever recorded, but to find their piece for comparison I'd have to recall their name.
	10:43pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Herb! Typos live large in my life. Hi Everybody! I've been busy with mixing the band, so no time to write back in teh comments. But I've been lurking.
	10:49pm JakeGould: To be honest, the “Schwarz” versus “Schwartz” thing can be debated for hours. But hey! Respect the spelling of whoever wants it spelled that way.
	10:49pm Listener Robert: The funny thing is that the Morton Gould "World War 1" sounds, deliberately I'm sure, like a dirge, while the duet's piece was light & lively. Show what you can do by changing tempo & some notes. Actually I don't mean to exaggerate the similarity, just the 1st bar and a half identical, then only slight similarity. But I still suspect maybe that old TV show stuck in the head of the folk-style composer if s/he was old enough.
	10:49pm KP: Good evening, Irene.
	10:54pm ?: This is nice listening...
	10:54pm Listener Robert: Meanwhile, the ACTUAL 1st world war was the 7 Years' War. Why do I keep thinking about stuff that makes me cry? Not as often as when I was withdrawing from tramadol, though. THAT was a trip!
	10:57pm Listener Robert: Darn, now I'm thinking about GLEN Gould! But not crying.
	11:01pm moontana: You say "the old Fleetwood Mac" as in "Bare Trees" and I'm thinking that is the beginning of the decline, compared to "Then Play On" and "Kiln House" oh but, that said, it's a good show.
	11:02pm JakeGould: Don’t cry for me Argentina.
	11:10pm KP: I like Greg Lake's voice, in moderation of course.
	11:15pm Irene Trudel: Same here, KP. I was once obsessed with ELP, but that thankfully has passed.
	11:21pm still b/p: Among my main ELP recollections, cued inevitably and automatically if thinking about the band for even a few seconds, is listening to Tarkus and Pictures At An Exhibition cassettes on a portable player, probably with the mono earphone, on dad's boat, early 70s.
	11:25pm coelacanth: hello Irene and all
	11:26pm coelacanth: hmm. that whole album sound a good bit like c.o.t.c.k.!
	11:29pm coelacanth: i wish i'd heard that Mary Hopkin. i think i've never heard anything besides "those were the days" and the flip of that 7".
	11:31pm KP: Irene, hah. I must say you pick the best King Crimson. You unearth the gems.
	11:37pm coelacanth: yeah,i would like to have heard that KC too. mine's in storage and it's been a few years. -same goes for bare trees & the power and the glory! Damn i should've been here!
	11:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Irene and cast of dozens! Abida Parveen sounding pretty good!
	11:43pm Irene Trudel: coelacanth, Mary has I think three albums and they're all wonderful.
	11:49pm coelacanth: sweet.
	11:49pm moontana: In an alternative universe Skip Spence could have been Neil Young.
	11:49pm KP: So nice
	11:51pm coelacanth: ha! i said "sweet" to this song but yes i must check out some of Hopkin's material. it's kind of weird that i never have, considering how huge that single was in my household as a child.
	11:55pm coelacanth: moontana, you must mean Jorma?
	11:55pm Santos L Halper: Go ride the music, Paul
	11:55pm coelacanth: oh never mind! i thought you were referring to the git in wooden ships!
	11:59pm coelacanth: Thanks Irene.
	🥁 8:41am Sean in Bristol UK: Thanks for a great show, Irene, really loved the live set from The Sharp Things
	10:23am Van in DC: I crashed last night. I was late anyway... so...back again...

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 Wells, along with Vocalist /Keyboardist Sylvia Solanis visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.
