Listener comments!
	8:05pm Eugene R.: Warm strings on a cold, wet evening. Nice!
	8:16pm JakeGould: Hello.
	8:17pm Bethany Ryker: Greetings, all! Happy Tuesday to you--
	8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Bliss may have been 'old fashioned' in sentiment - but really liked how deftly & powerfully he wrote to & wielded the range of the orchestra to paint his picture.
	8:30pm Bethany Ryker: @RevRabbit - I deem you the official unofficial program note Maestro of A440. Comment away!! Thank you!
	8:32pm Bethany Ryker: and @JakeGould - hope your Analog Text Message has (finally) reached you!
	8:32pm JakeGould: @BethanyRyker: It did! It did indeed! Thank you!
	8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...interesting to try & articulate what Music is doing to you - different parts of the brain!...
	8:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings from the land of slush and mush, Bethany.
	8:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminded of the PipeDreams program! : pipedreams.publicradio.org ...Hadn't thot of it in some time! Probably consider it 'unadventurous' - but yerknow - instrument...
	8:49pm genericPlacebo: got 2 windows open for this, (by accident) about a 2 second delay making this as interesting as your talk was too !
	8:50pm drummer girl: feeling high saturation of this piece of Meditations by Messiean
	8:50pm mark r: the snow is falling and the music is rising. transforming the landscape. thanks!
	8:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: @RRRN63 - A station near here plays the Pipe Dreams show on Sunday nights. I catch it occasionally.
	8:54pm Bethany Ryker: @genericPlacebo, wish I could take credit for a 2 second overlap delay, but alas...on Stochastic Hit Parade I used to pull all kind of things like that; I think the most fun was on the winter solstice where I played music that increased in duration gradually for the first half...then processed it and played it backwards for the second half - mic breaks and all
