	9:08am banksy68: Has anyone else heard the Ornette Coleman album he recorded with his then 8 or 9 yr old son on drums?
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am p20: I've never heard this track before. Charlie Haden's bass work is fantastic (2nd greatest bassist after Mingus, IMO). This record looks pretty strange, they cover the "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" theme? Going to try to hunt this one down
	♥ 9:09am George of Troy: Morning, John
	9:09am Davis: he sounds good on tenor
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH: @banksy68 The Empty Foxhole?I have it but don't remember much about it. Time for a revisit.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am p20: @banksy68: Which one? Denardo started recording when he was 10, his first record was "The Empty Foxhole" www.discogs.com...
	9:10am John Allen: Anyone hearing distortion.? Sound ok?
	9:11am banksy68: Yes, the empty foxhole. I own a vinyl copy but haven’t listened to it in years
	9:11am s: Distorted for a minute there; sounds good now
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am WoodsOfNH: The Allmusic reviewer seemed to think it's worth a listen: www.allmusic.com...
	9:12am Ashtabula: JA - a little fuzz, but good now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: @John Allen: Hearing a lot of surface noise on that last record, but I don't think it's distorted
	♥ 9:12am common: sounds good
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: definitely better now
	♥ 9:12am steveo: good morning... i wondered about the drums but the piano sounds crisp
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am Marley P. Dogg: Morning John - hope you are well!
	♥ 9:14am Rob (Jerzcity): is this the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy of the jazz world?
	9:14am Fredericks: Usually, I baled during the Everly Brothers remix. Today I am riveted.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: I was lucky enough to see Ornette & Prime Time right after Tone Dialing came out. One of the most amazing concerts I've attended. There were times like it seemed that they all had gone out on separate cliffs...how would they get back? And then...they'd simultaneously halt...and then launch off in a separate direction. It was nuts.
	9:17am testingwithfire: hi all from Chiloe, Chile!
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am p20: @Fredericks: yeah, that track kind of tests my patience too. But JA's show is so good if you can get past that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Beast of Boonton: Jazzz
	♥ 9:18am jake6573: Good morning room, though blue was mose aalison
	9:19am John Allen: Hey folks follow instagram jaintheam to see todays discreet location
	♥ 9:19am Rob (Jerzcity): I'll have to play my 1-sider to make up for this Rolnick-free AM
	♥ 9:20am steveo: looks cozy
	♥ 9:20am Rob (Jerzcity): Nice, JA! Lots of cotton candy for your sugar fix
	9:20am Earth Walker: The jazz music is wonderful today !
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am p20: @jake6573: It's hard for me to imagine Mose Allison singing " I'm black, and I'm blue"
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am WoodsOfNH: @JohnAllen Wow! Are you in the back of the barn?
	9:21am John Allen: Didnt realize when i demoed this room that it would be a jazz room
	9:22am John Allen: Woods, an addition to a barn
	♥ 9:22am steveo: Allen's Law: Every room becomes a jazz room, eventually.
	♥ 9:23am steveo: did you get snow? some maine folks got a foot and a half last night
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am p20: I'm going to step out and smoke a jazz cigarette. Back in a few
	9:25am David in London: Think I’ll follow his lead and do a jazz bong.
	♥ 9:26am common: same here, p20
	9:26am John Allen: Yeah some snow here/dusting
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am WoodsOfNH: We got nothing in central NH. But we've got a place up near Acadia and the power there is currently out. Freaky spring storms.
	♥ 9:29am steveo: only a dusting? probably better.. acadia is off-brand for you, Woods
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am WoodsOfNH: @steveo What do you mean by that?
	♥ 9:33am steveo: says NH right there!
	9:34am JakeGould: Hey John! Heard a few drop out soon the track that just played. You remote?
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am WoodsOfNH: Yeah, I know. I live and work here but our "forever home," as they say, is up there.
	♥ 9:35am steveo: nice!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am p20: @steveo@9:22: That reminds me of this one: "All jazz is free jazz if you stand out in front of the club and listen from outside"
	9:35am David in London: Woods, does NH refer to New Hampshire?
	♥ 9:35am jake6573: This is why I listen to FMU, Gary Bartz , Blue, best thing I ever heard. Would never have heard it in my life if was not tuned in.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am p20: JA: Sound is "good enough". We can tell you are remote but it sounds OK
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @Woods, a couple of years ago we spent a week in the town of Penobscot, near Blue Hill. REALLY hoping to get back some time soonish ... rented a canoe that we kept strapped to the car and put it in two or three places a day. Spent one day in Acadia.
	♥ 9:36am jake6573: Sound quality was great on that Track, did not believe stream could sound that good.
	9:37am JakeGould: I meant to say “drop outs.”
	9:38am mb: Hello JA. Hello All.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am p20: @David@9:35: Any USA person would read it that way
	9:40am John Allen: Could be an occasional dropout; remote live from the catskills
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am WoodsOfNH: @David in London Yes! @Handy Yes, the entire Blue Hill peninsula is gorgeous. We originally wanted to have a house on the island (MDI) but man, cross the bridge and the real estate goes up by 200%!
	9:42am JakeGould: No prob. Streaming in mono if that matters.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Live from the lovely shores of the remote Ashokan Reservoir?
	♥ 9:43am common: just wrote an email to the ceo of the corp i work for letting him know that we are still taking mass transit to work because we have to. waiting to get fired here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: @Woods: I am sure it does! We really loved it there. Even entertained thoughts of what it would mean to live there. Everyone we met had four jobs, and niches we could fill seemed filled, locally, so ... But we definitely hope to be back!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am p20: @John Allen: Is this from "(In) The Abyssity Of The Grounds"? I didn't know Linda Sharrock had recorded any new material this century
	9:44am nholliewog: perf tune-in in lieu of listening to quit coworkers Corona convos
	9:47am JakeGould: @common: I went on the subway on Wednesday to head to the farmer’s market. First subway trip in days. The passengers in my car was one other person at the far end of the car and a comedically huge turd right in the middle of the car.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Beast of Boonton: I can hear Harpo Marx on this track
	9:49am morphe': Not my comment: " Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? " JA, if that listener still listens - you owe him a Dub tune!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: New cleaning regimen already yielding results, @JakeGould!
	9:49am Dan: Love the sounds even more after seeing the jazz room
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am p20: I can hear Karl Marx on this track. It represents the breakdown of bourgeoius capitalism.
	♥ 9:50am common: @JakeGould: it's insane out there
	♥ 9:51am steveo: ja, do you know who's on jackhammer?
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am p20: seriously, this is amazing. i had no idea this recording existed and i'm super-psyched that john allen is playing it right now
	9:54am David in London: JA, yeah, dub us up later.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am karlward: When WFMU transmits live from the Catskills, the signal is piped in right through the water, via the same aqueduct that supplies water to New York City. Little did they know, the City, that they were drinking jazz water all along.
	9:56am JakeGould: @common: I used to go outside and relax; now everything ls just tense. Getting sun and walking but coming home and napping to avoid the turds of the world.
	9:56am mb: I'll take another round of your jazz water. Can i have a lemon in that? No? Ok.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: @karlward: it only goes up to the fifth floor without a pump. That's why all the corporate boardrooms are on the top floors. They can't risk the contagion.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am WoodsOfNH: I could really use some jazz water right about now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am p20: Searched for Jazz Water and found this. ibb.co...
	10:01am JakeGould: Is “Jazz Water” some off-brand hand sanitizer?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am p20: (i've got the day off today and have less than nothing to do. sorry everyone)
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am p20: JA: Mic level is very hot
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am p20: so is this track
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Handy Haversack: Go with it, @p20!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am WoodsOfNH: Mic level es mas macho...just like this sax!
	♥ 10:05am common: always sounds like he's telling secrets. US maple dude.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am karlward: Watch out now it's math rock water
	10:07am JakeGould: @p20: You need top physically go places for work?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am p20: When I first heard US Maple I thought they were just the weirdest band. Sounds pretty normal to me now!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am karlward: Never liked the term "math rock" but I admit that I like the geometric taste
	10:08am Slaboch: Your remote underground bunker studio looks great!
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am p20: @jake gould: I had a remote-work job already when this all started. But today I don't have to work at all.
	10:09am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.I like your style.
	10:10am JakeGould: @p20: Well hey!
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: Love this SY track! When All This Is Behind Us(TM), I am going to go absolutely murder as many bagels as I can get my hands on. It will be a spree! But I am digging my new quarantine bfast of apple with peanut butter and honey. Still, though. Bagels.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am p20: @jake gould: it's been 7 or 8 years since I had to go anywhere. It has its upsides and its downsides. It does get weird sometimes. But right now of course I realize how incredibly lucky I am. And I'm trying to help people who are less lucky.
	♥ 10:12am Andrew Waterloo: is this at the wrong speed?
	10:13am John Allen: Yeah weve got to lose turntable 2 after this one
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am WoodsOfNH: @Handy I know. I usually have an English muffin as part of breakfast but we haven't gone into a store in a month. Have started baking bread again, which is sort of therapeutic (and tasty!)
	10:14am JakeGould: @p20: Got it! I perms-lanced from 2001 to 2010 and honestly hated it. Crazy hours, barely decent pay, no benefits but at least I had something. Now I am working remotely from my day job and it’s better because everyone I work with is in the same boat; we are all working from home and past 5:00pm or 6:00pm nobody is working so all good. I too am happy I have something; so many are so screwed in this mess.
	♥ 10:15am tom from Glasgow: great stuff JA
	♥ 10:16am tom from Glasgow: lol that was at the wrong speed? it sounded cool anyway, like something that would have been on AmRep
	10:17am John Allen: Yeah cassie sounded like thurston
	10:19am Diane: Sounds great from the other Catskills here in Prattsville. Careful because the locals hate us "jerkoffs" (to quote the late X-Ray Burns). I do feel guilty/lucky, although I don't have a job now:(
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Mike & Dusty: John what da heck you have accessed the sounds from inside my head
	10:21am David in London: I’m having joy, I’m having fun, I’m having seastones in the sun.
	10:27am The Butterman: Is this Seastones as in Ned Lagin, Phil Lesh and a hint of Jerry Garcia?
	10:28am The Butterman: I just busted this out this CD yesterday. No shit!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am p20: Ooh this was originally recorded in quadrophonic. Wonder if there's any way to hear it that way
	10:32am sphere: hey there. btw, for me john's voice kinda goes into the red at times.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am p20: yeah the vocal mic is a bit hot - several people have pointed it out
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am Handy Haversack: That's just how people talk in the Catskills. It's got an edgy, in-your-face attitude!
	10:36am sphere: sorry p20, i skimmed the chat and didn't see anything
	10:37am JakeGould: Whoaoaoaoaaoao
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am p20: @sphere: oh no need to apologize i just meant that it's not just you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am WoodsOfNH: I think turntable 2 is low on oil
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Mike & Dusty: i dig it. i am down to take WFMU and this particular DJ as the sound comes.
	10:38am mb: SunCityGirls (JA re-mix).
	♥ 10:38am paulincc: Wow and flutter!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: This is like twice as jazzy!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Handy Haversack: Time also goes a little wobbly up there sometimes.
	10:39am Dubinator: This rules with the warbles!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Mike & Dusty: Alan B would be comfortable himself in Wobbl-O-Tone too, is my thought.
	10:40am David in London: Alvarius B seems to be the new Neil Rolnick.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am p20: Well we got through that ...
	10:46am John Allen: Need another room to stack busted turntables
	♥ 10:46am Carmichael: Good day JA and AM'ers. Today is Pound It Out day at work.
	10:50am P-90: So, pull another new turntable off the stack and see how it goes?
	♥ 10:54am steveo: stacks should be pushed or popped; this cello is wunnderful
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am WoodsOfNH: This is nice. Reminds me of that Dave Holland solo bass record.
	10:56am sphere: p20 - it's all good. :)
	♥ 10:59am tom from Glasgow: i am thoroughly enjoying this show
	11:00am Christopher: laying in the bath tub to Cargo Cult?! What album is that? Thought they only had one. Thank you John. Time to now face the day! LOVING THE BROADCAST
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: If the Professor can make Gilligan a turntable from vines and coconuts, there surely is hope for Turntable 2.
	♥ 11:02am Carmichael: Maybe the studio can be visited by the Harlem Gobetrotters.
	11:03am JakeGould: You put the vine in the coconut and you lay the beat down.
	♥ 11:03am TomDash: Those Jan Hammer videos with Neal Schon were...something
	11:04am John Allen: Trust issues with jan
	♥ 11:05am Todd76Pct: John, I feel your pain re: Jan Hammer. I have trust issues with many jazz-turned-fusion musicians that I do not expect to resolve in this lifetime.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am p20: @Carmichael: or the Monkees?
	♥ 11:06am TomDash: Is that the new name of your show John?
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH: @Todd76Pct True, but that Jan Hammer/Jeff Beck group record is pretty great.
	♥ 11:08am TDK60: Hello John and all, busy w/chores round the apt. just checkin' in to say how-do.
	11:09am John Allen: Tom, i think theres potential for a recurring character sketch
	♥ 11:09am TomDash: ...your read my mind...sounding great btw
	♥ 11:10am steveo: apparently i missed the rocketship song; it'll be stuck in my head later, anyway
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: Hey, TDK.
	♥ 11:19am coelacanth∅: good morning JA and ammers
	11:21am P-90: Yo coel
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! We were drinking jazz water -- right from the source!
	♥ 11:23am coelacanth∅: 'morning P-90
	♥ 11:24am TDK60: I like fusion. Wanna arm wrestle? Oh, gotta wait...
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth∅: hittin' the hard stuff, Handy? okay i'll have mine on the rocks if you please
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am karlward: Is that the bass drum pedal squeaking?
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth∅: haha funny if that's true! ...i thought it was coming from the basement
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am WillCrete: This blend is far out! Digging the layering and the trumpet way back
	♥ 11:28am steveo: i believe
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am karlward: And now "Miracles" will be stuck in my head for weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Andrew_in_WI: I believe in JAzz
	11:29am John Allen: Lazy trumpet and miracles go together
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am karlward: I finally found the source of my favorite Jefferson Airplane quote: "i read on wikipedia that marty balin wrote those lyrics in 45 minutes which is weird because that's shorter than the length of the song itself"
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am karlward: Source appears to be steveo
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am karlward: Reference for the quote: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:30am efd: I mean, there aren't that many words in the lyrics.
	♥ 11:31am Todd76Pct: @WoodsOfNH -Agreed! Saw them live in a now-defunct outdoor venue in CT when that album came out in an odd double headliner bill with Roy Buchanan.
	♥ 11:31am steveo: i have no memory of that haha; but yeah it'll be stuck in my head too; maybe it will blot out all the fleetwood mac that my dear spouse plays on spotify
	11:31am P-90: Such sweet torture
	♥ 11:32am TDK60: Airplane?!! Technically, Starship. Never mind.
	11:33am billy: EEEEwwwww The Jon Allen Radiation Belt has exerted it's gravitational force and turned into the killer Jon Allen Muhammed (featuring Lee Boy Malvo)
	♥ 11:34am Carmichael: The signal hiccuped, then went to 93 Rock for a minute. It's back, though ...
	11:34am Cayenne: having trouble are yee?
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Smooth 91.1!
	11:34am P-90: 93 Rock?! ouch
	11:35am Cayenne: good morning from new orleans!
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: yes, starship. and it seems that that song will be a couple of weeks long
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am WoodsOfNH: @Todd76Pct Got to see Jeff Beck when he toured on Garage Shop (co-headliner: Steve Ray Vaughn...so good!) Yeah, that live album is great with the exception of that little bit of awful singing. On "Full Moon Boogie," I think.
	11:41am GListener MW: Great track, this William Tyler! Perfect bliss for a slow holiday morning
	♥ 11:42am Carmichael: I saw that same tour, Woods. It was funny to see Vaughn fans thoroughly confused by Beck's wizardry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: Beck was playing with Terry Bozzio on that tour, adding to the wizardry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Andrew_in_WI: 91.1 the Lightest FM
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: Kate reports brief flurries on her run with the dog!
	11:52am egould310: Thanks for the show, JA. Wandered down some musical paths I don’t usually travel. My ears are happy, though.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am WoodsOfNH: @Carmichael I'm sure there were some Vaughn fans who were perplexed as to why Beck was opening. They both came out at the end and did "I'm Going Down." Good gawd, it was LOUD!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Oh, dang, almost 12! That happened fast! Thanks for the show, JA -- really enjoyed it! And thanks to you and all your network (and the SKELETON BOARD OPS) for doing all the work to make this happen live! Deep appreciation!
	11:55am Rick Schricter: Is this John Lee from that album with Steve Miller circa 1969?
	♥ 11:55am TomDash: Loving that aspirational Tyler/Rother 2-fer - congrats on getting that home studio going live! Until next week...
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thanks John Allen
	♥ 11:56am steveo: Thanks, John. Great show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Kate also reports an uptick in being catcalled while running. I think it's the mask ...
	11:56am John Allen: Yeah endless boogie lp
	♥ 11:56am tom from Glasgow: cheers JA
	♥ 11:56am common: thank you john
	11:57am caripo8: post covid-19 boogie
	11:57am mb: Have not John Allen'd in awhile. Aces, sire. And yes i like Jazz x100 to answer your question.
	11:59am David in London: Great show today JA.
	♥ 11:59am radioronan: Thanks for coming to us live from the Catskills, John. Be well everyone!
	12:00pm Diane: and thanks esp. for this last one.
	🎸 ♥ 12:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: JA puts the skill in Catskill.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from April 10, 2020

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	🎸 ♥ 9:06am Ken From Hyde Park: ZZ∀ſ
	9:06am David in London: Hello JA and all Allenites. Jazz, the motive force of Easter.
	♥ 9:06am Lixiviated Life: i think i like jazz
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am Andrew_in_WI: Wake without Rolnick feels off
	🎸 ♥ 9:07am Handy Haversack: Morning, JA, J'all of you.
	9:08am banksy68: Has anyone else heard the Ornette Coleman album he recorded with his then 8 or 9 yr old son on drums?
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am p20: I've never heard this track before. Charlie Haden's bass work is fantastic (2nd greatest bassist after Mingus, IMO). This record looks pretty strange, they cover the "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" theme? Going to try to hunt this one down
	♥ 9:09am George of Troy: Morning, John
	9:09am Davis: he sounds good on tenor
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH: @banksy68 The Empty Foxhole?I have it but don't remember much about it. Time for a revisit.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10am p20: @banksy68: Which one? Denardo started recording when he was 10, his first record was "The Empty Foxhole" www.discogs.com...
	9:10am John Allen: Anyone hearing distortion.? Sound ok?
	9:11am banksy68: Yes, the empty foxhole. I own a vinyl copy but haven’t listened to it in years
	9:11am s: Distorted for a minute there; sounds good now
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am WoodsOfNH: The Allmusic reviewer seemed to think it's worth a listen: www.allmusic.com...
	9:12am Ashtabula: JA - a little fuzz, but good now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: @John Allen: Hearing a lot of surface noise on that last record, but I don't think it's distorted
	♥ 9:12am common: sounds good
	🎸 ♥ 9:12am p20: definitely better now
	♥ 9:12am steveo: good morning... i wondered about the drums but the piano sounds crisp
	🎸 ♥ 9:13am Marley P. Dogg: Morning John - hope you are well!
	♥ 9:14am Rob (Jerzcity): is this the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy of the jazz world?
	9:14am Fredericks: Usually, I baled during the Everly Brothers remix. Today I am riveted.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH: I was lucky enough to see Ornette & Prime Time right after Tone Dialing came out. One of the most amazing concerts I've attended. There were times like it seemed that they all had gone out on separate cliffs...how would they get back? And then...they'd simultaneously halt...and then launch off in a separate direction. It was nuts.
	9:17am testingwithfire: hi all from Chiloe, Chile!
	🎸 ♥ 9:17am p20: @Fredericks: yeah, that track kind of tests my patience too. But JA's show is so good if you can get past that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18am Beast of Boonton: Jazzz
	♥ 9:18am jake6573: Good morning room, though blue was mose aalison
	9:19am John Allen: Hey folks follow instagram jaintheam to see todays discreet location
	♥ 9:19am Rob (Jerzcity): I'll have to play my 1-sider to make up for this Rolnick-free AM
	♥ 9:20am steveo: looks cozy
	♥ 9:20am Rob (Jerzcity): Nice, JA! Lots of cotton candy for your sugar fix
	9:20am Earth Walker: The jazz music is wonderful today !
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am p20: @jake6573: It's hard for me to imagine Mose Allison singing " I'm black, and I'm blue"
	🎸 ♥ 9:21am WoodsOfNH: @JohnAllen Wow! Are you in the back of the barn?
	9:21am John Allen: Didnt realize when i demoed this room that it would be a jazz room
	9:22am John Allen: Woods, an addition to a barn
	♥ 9:22am steveo: Allen's Law: Every room becomes a jazz room, eventually.
	♥ 9:23am steveo: did you get snow? some maine folks got a foot and a half last night
	🎸 ♥ 9:23am p20: I'm going to step out and smoke a jazz cigarette. Back in a few
	9:25am David in London: Think I’ll follow his lead and do a jazz bong.
	♥ 9:26am common: same here, p20
	9:26am John Allen: Yeah some snow here/dusting
	🎸 ♥ 9:27am WoodsOfNH: We got nothing in central NH. But we've got a place up near Acadia and the power there is currently out. Freaky spring storms.
	♥ 9:29am steveo: only a dusting? probably better.. acadia is off-brand for you, Woods
	🎸 ♥ 9:30am WoodsOfNH: @steveo What do you mean by that?
	♥ 9:33am steveo: says NH right there!
	9:34am JakeGould: Hey John! Heard a few drop out soon the track that just played. You remote?
	🎸 ♥ 9:34am WoodsOfNH: Yeah, I know. I live and work here but our "forever home," as they say, is up there.
	♥ 9:35am steveo: nice!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am p20: @steveo@9:22: That reminds me of this one: "All jazz is free jazz if you stand out in front of the club and listen from outside"
	9:35am David in London: Woods, does NH refer to New Hampshire?
	♥ 9:35am jake6573: This is why I listen to FMU, Gary Bartz , Blue, best thing I ever heard. Would never have heard it in my life if was not tuned in.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35am p20: JA: Sound is "good enough". We can tell you are remote but it sounds OK
	🎸 ♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @Woods, a couple of years ago we spent a week in the town of Penobscot, near Blue Hill. REALLY hoping to get back some time soonish ... rented a canoe that we kept strapped to the car and put it in two or three places a day. Spent one day in Acadia.
	♥ 9:36am jake6573: Sound quality was great on that Track, did not believe stream could sound that good.
	9:37am JakeGould: I meant to say “drop outs.”
	9:38am mb: Hello JA. Hello All.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39am p20: @David@9:35: Any USA person would read it that way
	9:40am John Allen: Could be an occasional dropout; remote live from the catskills
	🎸 ♥ 9:42am WoodsOfNH: @David in London Yes! @Handy Yes, the entire Blue Hill peninsula is gorgeous. We originally wanted to have a house on the island (MDI) but man, cross the bridge and the real estate goes up by 200%!
	9:42am JakeGould: No prob. Streaming in mono if that matters.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Live from the lovely shores of the remote Ashokan Reservoir?
	♥ 9:43am common: just wrote an email to the ceo of the corp i work for letting him know that we are still taking mass transit to work because we have to. waiting to get fired here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: @Woods: I am sure it does! We really loved it there. Even entertained thoughts of what it would mean to live there. Everyone we met had four jobs, and niches we could fill seemed filled, locally, so ... But we definitely hope to be back!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44am p20: @John Allen: Is this from "(In) The Abyssity Of The Grounds"? I didn't know Linda Sharrock had recorded any new material this century
	9:44am nholliewog: perf tune-in in lieu of listening to quit coworkers Corona convos
	9:47am JakeGould: @common: I went on the subway on Wednesday to head to the farmer’s market. First subway trip in days. The passengers in my car was one other person at the far end of the car and a comedically huge turd right in the middle of the car.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48am Beast of Boonton: I can hear Harpo Marx on this track
	9:49am morphe': Not my comment: " Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? " JA, if that listener still listens - you owe him a Dub tune!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: New cleaning regimen already yielding results, @JakeGould!
	9:49am Dan: Love the sounds even more after seeing the jazz room
	🎸 ♥ 9:49am p20: I can hear Karl Marx on this track. It represents the breakdown of bourgeoius capitalism.
	♥ 9:50am common: @JakeGould: it's insane out there
	♥ 9:51am steveo: ja, do you know who's on jackhammer?
	🎸 ♥ 9:52am p20: seriously, this is amazing. i had no idea this recording existed and i'm super-psyched that john allen is playing it right now
	9:54am David in London: JA, yeah, dub us up later.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55am karlward: When WFMU transmits live from the Catskills, the signal is piped in right through the water, via the same aqueduct that supplies water to New York City. Little did they know, the City, that they were drinking jazz water all along.
	9:56am JakeGould: @common: I used to go outside and relax; now everything ls just tense. Getting sun and walking but coming home and napping to avoid the turds of the world.
	9:56am mb: I'll take another round of your jazz water. Can i have a lemon in that? No? Ok.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: @karlward: it only goes up to the fifth floor without a pump. That's why all the corporate boardrooms are on the top floors. They can't risk the contagion.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am WoodsOfNH: I could really use some jazz water right about now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am p20: Searched for Jazz Water and found this. ibb.co...
	10:01am JakeGould: Is “Jazz Water” some off-brand hand sanitizer?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am p20: (i've got the day off today and have less than nothing to do. sorry everyone)
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am p20: JA: Mic level is very hot
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am p20: so is this track
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Handy Haversack: Go with it, @p20!
	🎸 ♥ 10:03am WoodsOfNH: Mic level es mas macho...just like this sax!
	♥ 10:05am common: always sounds like he's telling secrets. US maple dude.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06am karlward: Watch out now it's math rock water
	10:07am JakeGould: @p20: You need top physically go places for work?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am p20: When I first heard US Maple I thought they were just the weirdest band. Sounds pretty normal to me now!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am karlward: Never liked the term "math rock" but I admit that I like the geometric taste
	10:08am Slaboch: Your remote underground bunker studio looks great!
	🎸 ♥ 10:08am p20: @jake gould: I had a remote-work job already when this all started. But today I don't have to work at all.
	10:09am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.I like your style.
	10:10am JakeGould: @p20: Well hey!
	🎸 ♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: Love this SY track! When All This Is Behind Us(TM), I am going to go absolutely murder as many bagels as I can get my hands on. It will be a spree! But I am digging my new quarantine bfast of apple with peanut butter and honey. Still, though. Bagels.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11am p20: @jake gould: it's been 7 or 8 years since I had to go anywhere. It has its upsides and its downsides. It does get weird sometimes. But right now of course I realize how incredibly lucky I am. And I'm trying to help people who are less lucky.
	♥ 10:12am Andrew Waterloo: is this at the wrong speed?
	10:13am John Allen: Yeah weve got to lose turntable 2 after this one
	🎸 ♥ 10:13am WoodsOfNH: @Handy I know. I usually have an English muffin as part of breakfast but we haven't gone into a store in a month. Have started baking bread again, which is sort of therapeutic (and tasty!)
	10:14am JakeGould: @p20: Got it! I perms-lanced from 2001 to 2010 and honestly hated it. Crazy hours, barely decent pay, no benefits but at least I had something. Now I am working remotely from my day job and it’s better because everyone I work with is in the same boat; we are all working from home and past 5:00pm or 6:00pm nobody is working so all good. I too am happy I have something; so many are so screwed in this mess.
	♥ 10:15am tom from Glasgow: great stuff JA
	♥ 10:16am tom from Glasgow: lol that was at the wrong speed? it sounded cool anyway, like something that would have been on AmRep
	10:17am John Allen: Yeah cassie sounded like thurston
	10:19am Diane: Sounds great from the other Catskills here in Prattsville. Careful because the locals hate us "jerkoffs" (to quote the late X-Ray Burns). I do feel guilty/lucky, although I don't have a job now:(
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Mike & Dusty: John what da heck you have accessed the sounds from inside my head
	10:21am David in London: I’m having joy, I’m having fun, I’m having seastones in the sun.
	10:27am The Butterman: Is this Seastones as in Ned Lagin, Phil Lesh and a hint of Jerry Garcia?
	10:28am The Butterman: I just busted this out this CD yesterday. No shit!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29am p20: Ooh this was originally recorded in quadrophonic. Wonder if there's any way to hear it that way
	10:32am sphere: hey there. btw, for me john's voice kinda goes into the red at times.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35am p20: yeah the vocal mic is a bit hot - several people have pointed it out
	🎸 ♥ 10:36am Handy Haversack: That's just how people talk in the Catskills. It's got an edgy, in-your-face attitude!
	10:36am sphere: sorry p20, i skimmed the chat and didn't see anything
	10:37am JakeGould: Whoaoaoaoaaoao
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am p20: @sphere: oh no need to apologize i just meant that it's not just you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am WoodsOfNH: I think turntable 2 is low on oil
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Mike & Dusty: i dig it. i am down to take WFMU and this particular DJ as the sound comes.
	10:38am mb: SunCityGirls (JA re-mix).
	♥ 10:38am paulincc: Wow and flutter!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: This is like twice as jazzy!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38am Handy Haversack: Time also goes a little wobbly up there sometimes.
	10:39am Dubinator: This rules with the warbles!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Mike & Dusty: Alan B would be comfortable himself in Wobbl-O-Tone too, is my thought.
	10:40am David in London: Alvarius B seems to be the new Neil Rolnick.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42am p20: Well we got through that ...
	10:46am John Allen: Need another room to stack busted turntables
	♥ 10:46am Carmichael: Good day JA and AM'ers. Today is Pound It Out day at work.
	10:50am P-90: So, pull another new turntable off the stack and see how it goes?
	♥ 10:54am steveo: stacks should be pushed or popped; this cello is wunnderful
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am WoodsOfNH: This is nice. Reminds me of that Dave Holland solo bass record.
	10:56am sphere: p20 - it's all good. :)
	♥ 10:59am tom from Glasgow: i am thoroughly enjoying this show
	11:00am Christopher: laying in the bath tub to Cargo Cult?! What album is that? Thought they only had one. Thank you John. Time to now face the day! LOVING THE BROADCAST
	🎸 ♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: If the Professor can make Gilligan a turntable from vines and coconuts, there surely is hope for Turntable 2.
	♥ 11:02am Carmichael: Maybe the studio can be visited by the Harlem Gobetrotters.
	11:03am JakeGould: You put the vine in the coconut and you lay the beat down.
	♥ 11:03am TomDash: Those Jan Hammer videos with Neal Schon were...something
	11:04am John Allen: Trust issues with jan
	♥ 11:05am Todd76Pct: John, I feel your pain re: Jan Hammer. I have trust issues with many jazz-turned-fusion musicians that I do not expect to resolve in this lifetime.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05am p20: @Carmichael: or the Monkees?
	♥ 11:06am TomDash: Is that the new name of your show John?
	🎸 ♥ 11:07am WoodsOfNH: @Todd76Pct True, but that Jan Hammer/Jeff Beck group record is pretty great.
	♥ 11:08am TDK60: Hello John and all, busy w/chores round the apt. just checkin' in to say how-do.
	11:09am John Allen: Tom, i think theres potential for a recurring character sketch
	♥ 11:09am TomDash: ...your read my mind...sounding great btw
	♥ 11:10am steveo: apparently i missed the rocketship song; it'll be stuck in my head later, anyway
	🎸 ♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: Hey, TDK.
	♥ 11:19am coelacanth∅: good morning JA and ammers
	11:21am P-90: Yo coel
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela! We were drinking jazz water -- right from the source!
	♥ 11:23am coelacanth∅: 'morning P-90
	♥ 11:24am TDK60: I like fusion. Wanna arm wrestle? Oh, gotta wait...
	♥ 11:25am coelacanth∅: hittin' the hard stuff, Handy? okay i'll have mine on the rocks if you please
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am karlward: Is that the bass drum pedal squeaking?
	♥ 11:27am coelacanth∅: haha funny if that's true! ...i thought it was coming from the basement
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am WillCrete: This blend is far out! Digging the layering and the trumpet way back
	♥ 11:28am steveo: i believe
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am karlward: And now "Miracles" will be stuck in my head for weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am Andrew_in_WI: I believe in JAzz
	11:29am John Allen: Lazy trumpet and miracles go together
	🎸 ♥ 11:29am karlward: I finally found the source of my favorite Jefferson Airplane quote: "i read on wikipedia that marty balin wrote those lyrics in 45 minutes which is weird because that's shorter than the length of the song itself"
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am karlward: Source appears to be steveo
	🎸 ♥ 11:30am karlward: Reference for the quote: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:30am efd: I mean, there aren't that many words in the lyrics.
	♥ 11:31am Todd76Pct: @WoodsOfNH -Agreed! Saw them live in a now-defunct outdoor venue in CT when that album came out in an odd double headliner bill with Roy Buchanan.
	♥ 11:31am steveo: i have no memory of that haha; but yeah it'll be stuck in my head too; maybe it will blot out all the fleetwood mac that my dear spouse plays on spotify
	11:31am P-90: Such sweet torture
	♥ 11:32am TDK60: Airplane?!! Technically, Starship. Never mind.
	11:33am billy: EEEEwwwww The Jon Allen Radiation Belt has exerted it's gravitational force and turned into the killer Jon Allen Muhammed (featuring Lee Boy Malvo)
	♥ 11:34am Carmichael: The signal hiccuped, then went to 93 Rock for a minute. It's back, though ...
	11:34am Cayenne: having trouble are yee?
	🎸 ♥ 11:34am Handy Haversack: Smooth 91.1!
	11:34am P-90: 93 Rock?! ouch
	11:35am Cayenne: good morning from new orleans!
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: yes, starship. and it seems that that song will be a couple of weeks long
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am WoodsOfNH: @Todd76Pct Got to see Jeff Beck when he toured on Garage Shop (co-headliner: Steve Ray Vaughn...so good!) Yeah, that live album is great with the exception of that little bit of awful singing. On "Full Moon Boogie," I think.
	11:41am GListener MW: Great track, this William Tyler! Perfect bliss for a slow holiday morning
	♥ 11:42am Carmichael: I saw that same tour, Woods. It was funny to see Vaughn fans thoroughly confused by Beck's wizardry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: Beck was playing with Terry Bozzio on that tour, adding to the wizardry.
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Andrew_in_WI: 91.1 the Lightest FM
	🎸 ♥ 11:52am Handy Haversack: Kate reports brief flurries on her run with the dog!
	11:52am egould310: Thanks for the show, JA. Wandered down some musical paths I don’t usually travel. My ears are happy, though.
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am WoodsOfNH: @Carmichael I'm sure there were some Vaughn fans who were perplexed as to why Beck was opening. They both came out at the end and did "I'm Going Down." Good gawd, it was LOUD!!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Oh, dang, almost 12! That happened fast! Thanks for the show, JA -- really enjoyed it! And thanks to you and all your network (and the SKELETON BOARD OPS) for doing all the work to make this happen live! Deep appreciation!
	11:55am Rick Schricter: Is this John Lee from that album with Steve Miller circa 1969?
	♥ 11:55am TomDash: Loving that aspirational Tyler/Rother 2-fer - congrats on getting that home studio going live! Until next week...
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thanks John Allen
	♥ 11:56am steveo: Thanks, John. Great show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: Kate also reports an uptick in being catcalled while running. I think it's the mask ...
	11:56am John Allen: Yeah endless boogie lp
	♥ 11:56am tom from Glasgow: cheers JA
	♥ 11:56am common: thank you john
	11:57am caripo8: post covid-19 boogie
	11:57am mb: Have not John Allen'd in awhile. Aces, sire. And yes i like Jazz x100 to answer your question.
	11:59am David in London: Great show today JA.
	♥ 11:59am radioronan: Thanks for coming to us live from the Catskills, John. Be well everyone!
	12:00pm Diane: and thanks esp. for this last one.
