	10:06pm mb: Henry Grimes Lives!!!
	10:06pm Jeff Conklin: Rough week for jazz. Konitz, Logan and Grimes :/
	♥ 10:07pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...I hear ya. I barely made it. I'd love to see you in the mix...good times.
	♥ 10:08pm Gaylord Fields: Another post-show Jeff Conklin Driveway Moment for me, and I'm not even driving from the station tonight.
	10:09pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: We all have driveways we rest for a bit inside our minds.
	♥ 10:12pm northguineahills: This is one of my favorite Phahroah Sanders (well, all of them are)....
	10:12pm mb: Had the honor of playing my tenor banjo with Mr. Grimes on his Olive bass at his nursing home in May of '18. That only happened once b/c his wife got very upset with me that i did not know my blues chord changes. I'll treasure it forever. Fly on Henry!
	♥ 10:14pm northguineahills: holy smith, mb, that's amazing! (once took a date to see Henry Grimes).
	10:14pm Andres: 'Tis an evening of epics! I like.
	10:14pm Jeff Conklin: Wow thats awesome, MB
	10:16pm Carmichael: In the canyons of my mind.
	10:16pm Gary: Thanks for opening with this Jeff. Used to see Mr. Grimes at Studio Rivbea often in early 70s. Great man and musician
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: @Gary: Whoa man, that mustve been a wild scene....
	♥ 10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: @Carmichael...echoing!
	10:19pm mb: Yes! I only knew how to play "Oh, Susanna" and Mark Ribot's interpretation of Aylers "Ghosts" on it. Was def a high point for me. The Irish tenor is not something i'm familiar with being a bassist.
	10:20pm mb: #Marc
	♥ 10:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi all
	10:23pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Phillipe
	♥ 10:24pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, hi Jeff
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Dig this piano tho
	♥ 10:26pm Andrew Waterloo: akirasakata.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:26pm Andrew Waterloo: This piano is simply sublime
	10:26pm Jeff Conklin: Ha thanks andrew I meant to link this. Incredible stuff.
	♥ 10:29pm zzz: this is going all sorts of awesome, unexpected places
	♥ 10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, this is smokin'!
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: The jazz seems to have scared a lot of folks off. Props to those who can hang...
	10:31pm Jon: Great set!
	10:31pm CC: Yeah..!..like 'timeless'!!!
	♥ 10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Don't be sceard...just a beard.
	10:32pm Chud: Very hot!
	10:32pm J.R.: The jazz is killing. couldn't be better
	♥ 10:32pm Mike & Dusty: hey man. i listen to John Allen’s show. i can handle jazz, okay
	10:33pm Jon: I always love avant ghetto jazz
	♥ 10:33pm ParUbi: the only thing with a 'zz' that scares me is zz top
	♥ 10:33pm StringOFperils: Intense beginnings for this Akira Sakata. Born in Hiroshima six months before it got nuked. Intense music result too, evidently.
	10:34pm Jon: Oh man, this is an Alice Coltrane classic!
	10:34pm Jeff Conklin: Sakata has a long and very excellent recording career, highly recommend digging into his discography.
	♥ 10:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, you just brought this down in such a sweet way. Killer segue!
	10:34pm syerahkay: Incredible stuff
	10:34pm mb: "Do you like Jazz?" -John Allen
	♥ 10:34pm Andrew Waterloo: I guess I didn't really make it through DO radio without buying something on Bandcamp...
	10:35pm Joe B: Digging Automatism - new to me, thanks
	10:35pm Jeff Conklin: @Andrew: Ha. Same here. I got hipped to the Bonjintan via a random Tweet though. <3 social media
	10:36pm fleep: Star for Automatism
	♥ 10:36pm Mr. Pumpy: This sounds like it's going to explode in a Sonny Sharrock - Many Mansions fashion at any moment! I'm loving it. Drummer is so laid back and in the pocket big time.
	10:37pm Jeff Conklin: Can't remember how I found these guys, could've been one of my weekly Bandcamp wanderlusts...
	♥ 10:37pm Andrew Waterloo: and now an Alice Coltrane cover. That is quite good..
	♥ 10:38pm mariano: Really digging this Automatism. The bass line is reminding me of the vocals/backup vocals in one of the songs on Zappa Apostrophe... Where he's singing "I can't see!". Yellow Snow or one of those.
	10:38pm CC: MB... we all know that John Allen does his homework!!!
	♥ 10:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I like this. Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Great find, Jeff.
	♥ 10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...I hear it. Dom dom dom dom Dohhmmm. I can't see...Dom dom dom dom Dohhmmm...Oh woe is me... YES!
	10:40pm Jeff Conklin: This track features Jakob from Trad Gras och Stenar/Traden btw
	10:40pm Carmichael: Not sure I’m here? But I will say hello to who is listening.
	♥ 10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: Even though I'm staying at my pop's 95% of the time (not tonight), there's no turntable there, and I'm a bit strapped...I'm fixin' to buy this vinyl. Finger on trigger.
	10:41pm chris: This band was played on the Scandinavia show.
	♥ 10:41pm mariano: Thanks for the reality check Mr. P!
	♥ 10:41pm Phillippe Bastille: How is your dad, Mr. P?
	♥ 10:41pm StringOFperils: Trudgin' across the tundra....mile after mile....went Truuuudgin across the tundra mile after mile
	10:41pm The Butterman: Funny, I thought the first track was Alice Coltrane before I saw the playlist.
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: @chris: Correct!
	10:42pm Jon: The last time I heard this A.C. tune it was played by Josh Abrams (bass), Jason Adasiewicz (vibes), and Hamid Drake (drums) at this cool venue called Trinosophes in Detroit. This was like - this past summer? Seems like way longer than that with this lockdown. It was an excellent show.
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @Jon: Wow wonder if that was recorded??
	10:43pm Jon: I’m not sure about that
	♥ 10:44pm mariano: Haha, StringOP!
	♥ 10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe...stable. Thanks for asking. Physical shit bothering him now and can't get to the doc, but I'm there living with him, and we're getting by. How are you and yours?
	♥ 10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: @String...yes. I never tire of that. ...to St. Alphonso's!
	10:46pm CC: one good thing about the coronavirus it's easier for everyone to do their homework!!!
	10:47pm franny: Good vibes tonight.
	10:48pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Franny, I try!
	♥ 10:49pm Mr. Pumpy: @CC...as a teacher...yes! And no, I guess. I ain't complaining...but it's a minefield out there.
	♥ 10:49pm Uncle Michael: This is lovely.
	♥ 10:49pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. I saw that group play in Hamilton.. can't remember if they did Coltrane or not.
	♥ 10:50pm parkfencerman: This is quite good. I'll have to check out the full version
	10:51pm Jeff Conklin: full version will take your mind out of your body, headphones suggested..
	10:51pm Jon: Oh nice! I didn’t know they played out there. I guess it was a little tour, then.
	10:51pm Carmichael: You stoners are really educating me.
	10:52pm annette: listenin and floatin. oh so perfect
	♥ 10:52pm parkfencerman: Right on, good soundtrack for bicycle day
	10:52pm JakeGould: Hello all!
	10:53pm CC: I missed the Lee Konitz show today... could somebody tell me where it was at again..?.. I forgot???
	10:53pm Slag_Heapz: Such a great show so far! on the edge of my Adirondack chair for the rest.
	♥ 10:53pm Uncle Michael: The man can't bust our music, Carmichael.
	10:53pm Carmichael: Seriously.
	♥ 10:54pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. Hamilton has a series and a festival. The festival is in June and has been bringing it a lot of interesting names. Very intimate.
	♥ 10:54pm Phillippe Bastille: @Mr. P hang in there, brother. Gotta be tough on him, can't imagine what it would be like to have to rely on others so much, then have the world turn on its ear in a way that hinders the type and amount of help you can get. Strange days, so many people paying for it in so many ways.
	♥ 10:55pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. zulapresents.org
	10:56pm Carmichael: I’m as square as can be. Light up those jazz cigarettes, the smell is nice.
	♥ 10:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Okay...I was fooling myself by even entertaining the idea I wouldn't do it. Automatism vinyl fully secured. Clear/green marbled vinyl. I am looking forward to spinning that! Thanks again, Jeff...I never heard of them before tonight.
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: nice, Pumpy!
	10:58pm Jon: @Andrew Thanks, I will check that out!
	♥ 10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: @Phillippe, you are so on the money there. We are doing quite well considering the potential pitfalls under all the circumstances. When shit gets tense, I have to remind myself of just that, how he is feeling and what he is going through. It centers me and I proceed accordingly. I appreciate your sentiment, brother. You're wise!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Remember when we would shake hands?
	♥ 11:00pm Uncle Michael: Time for some silent running. Keyboard time is over. Just the music, now... Night all. Thanks, Jeff.
	11:00pm Jeff Conklin: Peace UM
	♥ 11:00pm Mr. Pumpy: "Here's some new jams!"
	♥ 11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Play it!!!
	♥ 11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Rest well, Uncle.
	♥ 11:01pm chresti: Night UM.
	11:01pm franny: I remember Tuluum from while ago, and I couldn't find it for the longest time again, I was spelling it wrong. Good re-find!
	11:02pm annette: mr P, hang tough. our hearts stay with you.
	11:03pm Saul Wright: Just tuning in now. Gonna check out this second set and then tune into Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard for Dead all nite.
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: Cecil Taylor
	11:04pm Gary: @cc. Irene Trudel. Go to recent archives.
	11:05pm tom from Glasgow: reading As Serious As Your Life right now, really dug that set
	11:05pm tom from Glasgow: well, not right now, now i’m going to bed
	11:05pm Jeff Conklin: @tom: Phenomenal document that
	11:05pm CC: I've been listening to you for years!!!
	♥ 11:06pm Phillippe Bastille: You're a good son, Mr. P! Thanks Jeff, time for me to tune out. Peace and health, everyone.
	11:06pm William Tiller: I, too, ordered the William Eaton lp. psyched.
	11:06pm CC: Thank you, Gary...
	♥ 11:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Thank you, annette, that means more than I can express through words.
	♥ 11:07pm chresti: Peaceful night, Phillipe.
	11:07pm Slag_Heapz: My son has an old cellphone with the WFMU app, that has some of my favourite and earliest listens to the Avant Ghetto. Glad to be here!
	♥ 11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe, rest well!
	♥ 11:08pm Mr. Pumpy: @Slag...cool! Did he bookmark them on the phone or something like that?
	11:10pm ZeeBee: Greetings friends, just out of a bath and gonna make some dinner, feeling a bit heavy hearted and happy to have this great show to accompany me. Hope all are well.
	♥ 11:11pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, did you catch the Riley Walker show at the First Congregational Church in Montclair, NJ a couple Decembers ago?
	11:11pm Jeff Conklin: @Mr Pumpy: I didn't. I hate New Jersey.
	♥ 11:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Howdy, ZeeBee...glad you're here.
	11:12pm Jeff Conklin: I'm just kidding. I saw Leo Kottke in that church.
	♥ 11:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Ha! Well, I live here, so...that was a score. Killer show.
	♥ 11:15pm StringOFperils: Wow ! This is ALL pedal steel?! Incredible.
	♥ 11:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Kottke...damn! Awesome. I caught Richard Thompson there last year, first row center. I brought my buddy who is 25 years my senior, also one of my closest friends I've ever had. II expanded my knowledge of Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson through this friend of mine so It was a great experience all around. Kottke...DAMN!
	♥ 11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: Cool venue, that church. I was in the process of getting set up to volunteer for Outpost in the Burbs when all hell broke loose. I'm going to get on that once the smoke clears. Great organization. KOTTKE?! heh heh...that's amazing.
	♥ 11:18pm Scott Williams: Mr. Pumpy, I thought I recognized you! That Thompson show was stellar
	♥ 11:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Richard Thompson was great last year. Glad I had enough of a whim to go.
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: RT did a live set on Facebook a few weeks back it was great. Jorma has been doing them every Saturday night. Also excellent.
	♥ 11:22pm Stevel: Listening while working tonight, at home, of course. Thanks for the great music.
	♥ 11:23pm mewidmer: That was beautiful - thanks ❤️
	♥ 11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: @Scott...We did the VIP thing with the documentary and Q&A around the corner. My buddy lives in Sussex and rarely gets a day out with just a friend, so I told him to come EARLY! We were on line about 2 hours early and the front of house guy was so cool he let us put our shirts/jackets down on any seats we wanted and go out for a meal or whatever and come back to our seats. Such a cool dude. We went and ate and drank and went back and sat right back down in front. That and getting to talk to Richard Thompson at the film viewing. Great day. AND...what an amazing performance. He emotes, big time!
	♥ 11:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Andrew...glad you made it. Yes, amazing show. I was in tears throughout that whole set. Powerful!
	♥ 11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...I'll have to see if I can find that. Hopefully it wasn't a one and done type o' thang.
	♥ 11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: Stevel...how's it going?
	♥ 11:27pm Andrew Waterloo: I saw him in London, Ontario.
	11:29pm Joe B: Sounds like a great experience - my last RT show was at Town Hall in 2018
	11:30pm Jeff Conklin: Was that electric Joe? Caught him solo acoustic a bunch but never electric :/
	11:30pm Joe B: yeah it was great. He did three songs solo acoustic for the encore
	11:31pm Joe B: I think I've seen an even split with RT - 3 band, 3 solo
	♥ 11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: I love this station so much. My personal experience is near 40 years of my never being disappointed. There is such a breadth of artists and personalities to be heard here. To think, just last night I was talking about the new Live Burial album on Keilidh's Hits From The Crypt and now we're talking Thompson and jazz and such. This station and it's listeners have a true appreciation for art. Not to say we all like everything, but rather many of us like many things. I love it. Makes me get a bit teary...
	♥ 11:33pm Chop Scott: Thanks Jeff--enjoying immensely! Cheers to the Skeleton Crew as always!!
	♥ 11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Belock...what a great venue! I love the ol' Town Hall. It must have been great.
	♥ 11:34pm StringOFperils: The electric RT sets are pretty muscular. He has a lot of energy and he like to really push those solos into Calvary Cross territory. He's never not amazing, but I prefer his acoustic 'old' English stuff the best...and the real pain that comes across on the albums with his ex, Linda.
	♥ 11:34pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:35pm Bill C: You’re right, Mr Pumpy.
	♥ 11:36pm Mr. Pumpy: @String, I've watched a bunch of the electric stuff, but never saw it live. I'd like to, but I know what you mean about the acoustic attack. Great stuff. He's a powerhouse.
	♥ 11:36pm northguineahills: Been away packing, but listening.
	11:36pm annette: kottke . great small venues in scranton and wilkes barre. the best shows.
	11:37pm Joe B: @Pumpy - it was - Irene Trudel was there also. I did enjoy that album, 13 Rivers, kinda wish he had done more than 4 from it but with a classic artist like that they have so much ground to cover. Funny for all the shows I've seen and lived in this area my whole life, I haven't been to Town Hall that often. Maybe 5 times total
	11:38pm Jeff Conklin: I was really psyched to see Bruce Cockburn this spring in Newton, NJ but alas....
	♥ 11:38pm northguineahills: What the great Belock and Mr. Pumpy said....
	♥ 11:38pm mewidmer: What’s the date of the ‘73 bird song you mentioned? It’s an easy but Veneta continues to be my top
	11:39pm annette: hard to put into words. but are we aware that we are the heal all.
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: 6/22/73
	♥ 11:42pm Mr. Pumpy: Newton Theater is such a great place. I caught Dick Dale there just before he left us.
	11:48pm blythest: this is beautiful
	♥ 11:48pm mewidmer: Thanks! Out of a middle 1st set box of rain
	11:49pm Saul Wright: lovely song just like time, it’s almost over now...
	♥ 11:52pm Mr. Pumpy: The sound of the pick is really bringing it home...lovely.
	11:55pm K-Rizzle: Cheers from Montana. Thanks for the spins.
	11:56pm Saul Wright: Really dig Zachary Cale
	11:57pm Joe B: thanks Jeff, great show!
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks for listening, all. And thanks to Scott Williams for steering the ship!
	♥ 11:58pm chresti: Thanks Jeff, good night everybody.
	♥ 11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Enjoyed the show tonight, Jeff. Signed, one lurkey-loo.
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, Jeff.
	♥ 11:58pm Ignatatus666: See you on the Darkside
	11:58pm mb: Thank you Jeff
	11:59pm ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Hey there!
	♥ 12:00am Ignatatus666: Thank you Scott you and the crew are awesome

	♥ 10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: @Carmichael...echoing!
	10:19pm mb: Yes! I only knew how to play "Oh, Susanna" and Mark Ribot's interpretation of Aylers "Ghosts" on it. Was def a high point for me. The Irish tenor is not something i'm familiar with being a bassist.
	10:20pm mb: #Marc
	♥ 10:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi all
	10:23pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Phillipe
	♥ 10:24pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, hi Jeff
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Dig this piano tho
	♥ 10:26pm Andrew Waterloo: akirasakata.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:26pm Andrew Waterloo: This piano is simply sublime
	10:26pm Jeff Conklin: Ha thanks andrew I meant to link this. Incredible stuff.
	♥ 10:29pm zzz: this is going all sorts of awesome, unexpected places
	♥ 10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, this is smokin'!
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: The jazz seems to have scared a lot of folks off. Props to those who can hang...
	10:31pm Jon: Great set!
	10:31pm CC: Yeah..!..like 'timeless'!!!
	♥ 10:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Don't be sceard...just a beard.
	10:32pm Chud: Very hot!
	10:32pm J.R.: The jazz is killing. couldn't be better
	♥ 10:32pm Mike & Dusty: hey man. i listen to John Allen’s show. i can handle jazz, okay
	10:33pm Jon: I always love avant ghetto jazz
	♥ 10:33pm ParUbi: the only thing with a 'zz' that scares me is zz top
	♥ 10:33pm StringOFperils: Intense beginnings for this Akira Sakata. Born in Hiroshima six months before it got nuked. Intense music result too, evidently.
	10:34pm Jon: Oh man, this is an Alice Coltrane classic!
	10:34pm Jeff Conklin: Sakata has a long and very excellent recording career, highly recommend digging into his discography.
	♥ 10:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, you just brought this down in such a sweet way. Killer segue!
	10:34pm syerahkay: Incredible stuff
	10:34pm mb: "Do you like Jazz?" -John Allen
	♥ 10:34pm Andrew Waterloo: I guess I didn't really make it through DO radio without buying something on Bandcamp...
	10:35pm Joe B: Digging Automatism - new to me, thanks
	10:35pm Jeff Conklin: @Andrew: Ha. Same here. I got hipped to the Bonjintan via a random Tweet though. <3 social media
	10:36pm fleep: Star for Automatism
	♥ 10:36pm Mr. Pumpy: This sounds like it's going to explode in a Sonny Sharrock - Many Mansions fashion at any moment! I'm loving it. Drummer is so laid back and in the pocket big time.
	10:37pm Jeff Conklin: Can't remember how I found these guys, could've been one of my weekly Bandcamp wanderlusts...
	♥ 10:37pm Andrew Waterloo: and now an Alice Coltrane cover. That is quite good..
	♥ 10:38pm mariano: Really digging this Automatism. The bass line is reminding me of the vocals/backup vocals in one of the songs on Zappa Apostrophe... Where he's singing "I can't see!". Yellow Snow or one of those.
	10:38pm CC: MB... we all know that John Allen does his homework!!!
	♥ 10:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I like this. Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Great find, Jeff.
	♥ 10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...I hear it. Dom dom dom dom Dohhmmm. I can't see...Dom dom dom dom Dohhmmm...Oh woe is me... YES!
	10:40pm Jeff Conklin: This track features Jakob from Trad Gras och Stenar/Traden btw
	10:40pm Carmichael: Not sure I’m here? But I will say hello to who is listening.
	♥ 10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: Even though I'm staying at my pop's 95% of the time (not tonight), there's no turntable there, and I'm a bit strapped...I'm fixin' to buy this vinyl. Finger on trigger.
	10:41pm chris: This band was played on the Scandinavia show.
	♥ 10:41pm mariano: Thanks for the reality check Mr. P!
	♥ 10:41pm Phillippe Bastille: How is your dad, Mr. P?
	♥ 10:41pm StringOFperils: Trudgin' across the tundra....mile after mile....went Truuuudgin across the tundra mile after mile
	10:41pm The Butterman: Funny, I thought the first track was Alice Coltrane before I saw the playlist.
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: @chris: Correct!
	10:42pm Jon: The last time I heard this A.C. tune it was played by Josh Abrams (bass), Jason Adasiewicz (vibes), and Hamid Drake (drums) at this cool venue called Trinosophes in Detroit. This was like - this past summer? Seems like way longer than that with this lockdown. It was an excellent show.
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @Jon: Wow wonder if that was recorded??
	10:43pm Jon: I’m not sure about that
	♥ 10:44pm mariano: Haha, StringOP!
	♥ 10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe...stable. Thanks for asking. Physical shit bothering him now and can't get to the doc, but I'm there living with him, and we're getting by. How are you and yours?
	♥ 10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: @String...yes. I never tire of that. ...to St. Alphonso's!
	10:46pm CC: one good thing about the coronavirus it's easier for everyone to do their homework!!!
	10:47pm franny: Good vibes tonight.
	10:48pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Franny, I try!
	♥ 10:49pm Mr. Pumpy: @CC...as a teacher...yes! And no, I guess. I ain't complaining...but it's a minefield out there.
	♥ 10:49pm Uncle Michael: This is lovely.
	♥ 10:49pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. I saw that group play in Hamilton.. can't remember if they did Coltrane or not.
	♥ 10:50pm parkfencerman: This is quite good. I'll have to check out the full version
	10:51pm Jeff Conklin: full version will take your mind out of your body, headphones suggested..
	10:51pm Jon: Oh nice! I didn’t know they played out there. I guess it was a little tour, then.
	10:51pm Carmichael: You stoners are really educating me.
	10:52pm annette: listenin and floatin. oh so perfect
	♥ 10:52pm parkfencerman: Right on, good soundtrack for bicycle day
	10:52pm JakeGould: Hello all!
	10:53pm CC: I missed the Lee Konitz show today... could somebody tell me where it was at again..?.. I forgot???
	10:53pm Slag_Heapz: Such a great show so far! on the edge of my Adirondack chair for the rest.
	♥ 10:53pm Uncle Michael: The man can't bust our music, Carmichael.
	10:53pm Carmichael: Seriously.
	♥ 10:54pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. Hamilton has a series and a festival. The festival is in June and has been bringing it a lot of interesting names. Very intimate.
	♥ 10:54pm Phillippe Bastille: @Mr. P hang in there, brother. Gotta be tough on him, can't imagine what it would be like to have to rely on others so much, then have the world turn on its ear in a way that hinders the type and amount of help you can get. Strange days, so many people paying for it in so many ways.
	♥ 10:55pm Andrew Waterloo: @Jon.. zulapresents.org
	10:56pm Carmichael: I’m as square as can be. Light up those jazz cigarettes, the smell is nice.
	♥ 10:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Okay...I was fooling myself by even entertaining the idea I wouldn't do it. Automatism vinyl fully secured. Clear/green marbled vinyl. I am looking forward to spinning that! Thanks again, Jeff...I never heard of them before tonight.
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: nice, Pumpy!
	10:58pm Jon: @Andrew Thanks, I will check that out!
	♥ 10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: @Phillippe, you are so on the money there. We are doing quite well considering the potential pitfalls under all the circumstances. When shit gets tense, I have to remind myself of just that, how he is feeling and what he is going through. It centers me and I proceed accordingly. I appreciate your sentiment, brother. You're wise!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Remember when we would shake hands?
	♥ 11:00pm Uncle Michael: Time for some silent running. Keyboard time is over. Just the music, now... Night all. Thanks, Jeff.
	11:00pm Jeff Conklin: Peace UM
	♥ 11:00pm Mr. Pumpy: "Here's some new jams!"
	♥ 11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Play it!!!
	♥ 11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: Rest well, Uncle.
	♥ 11:01pm chresti: Night UM.
	11:01pm franny: I remember Tuluum from while ago, and I couldn't find it for the longest time again, I was spelling it wrong. Good re-find!
	11:02pm annette: mr P, hang tough. our hearts stay with you.
	11:03pm Saul Wright: Just tuning in now. Gonna check out this second set and then tune into Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard for Dead all nite.
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: Cecil Taylor
	11:04pm Gary: @cc. Irene Trudel. Go to recent archives.
	11:05pm tom from Glasgow: reading As Serious As Your Life right now, really dug that set
	11:05pm tom from Glasgow: well, not right now, now i’m going to bed
	11:05pm Jeff Conklin: @tom: Phenomenal document that
	11:05pm CC: I've been listening to you for years!!!
	♥ 11:06pm Phillippe Bastille: You're a good son, Mr. P! Thanks Jeff, time for me to tune out. Peace and health, everyone.
	11:06pm William Tiller: I, too, ordered the William Eaton lp. psyched.
	11:06pm CC: Thank you, Gary...
	♥ 11:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Thank you, annette, that means more than I can express through words.
	♥ 11:07pm chresti: Peaceful night, Phillipe.
	11:07pm Slag_Heapz: My son has an old cellphone with the WFMU app, that has some of my favourite and earliest listens to the Avant Ghetto. Glad to be here!
	♥ 11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe, rest well!
	♥ 11:08pm Mr. Pumpy: @Slag...cool! Did he bookmark them on the phone or something like that?
	11:10pm ZeeBee: Greetings friends, just out of a bath and gonna make some dinner, feeling a bit heavy hearted and happy to have this great show to accompany me. Hope all are well.
	♥ 11:11pm Mr. Pumpy: Jeff, did you catch the Riley Walker show at the First Congregational Church in Montclair, NJ a couple Decembers ago?
	11:11pm Jeff Conklin: @Mr Pumpy: I didn't. I hate New Jersey.
	♥ 11:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Howdy, ZeeBee...glad you're here.
	11:12pm Jeff Conklin: I'm just kidding. I saw Leo Kottke in that church.
	♥ 11:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Ha! Well, I live here, so...that was a score. Killer show.
	♥ 11:15pm StringOFperils: Wow ! This is ALL pedal steel?! Incredible.
	♥ 11:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Kottke...damn! Awesome. I caught Richard Thompson there last year, first row center. I brought my buddy who is 25 years my senior, also one of my closest friends I've ever had. II expanded my knowledge of Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson through this friend of mine so It was a great experience all around. Kottke...DAMN!
	♥ 11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: Cool venue, that church. I was in the process of getting set up to volunteer for Outpost in the Burbs when all hell broke loose. I'm going to get on that once the smoke clears. Great organization. KOTTKE?! heh heh...that's amazing.
	♥ 11:18pm Scott Williams: Mr. Pumpy, I thought I recognized you! That Thompson show was stellar
	♥ 11:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Richard Thompson was great last year. Glad I had enough of a whim to go.
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: RT did a live set on Facebook a few weeks back it was great. Jorma has been doing them every Saturday night. Also excellent.
	♥ 11:22pm Stevel: Listening while working tonight, at home, of course. Thanks for the great music.
	♥ 11:23pm mewidmer: That was beautiful - thanks ❤️
	♥ 11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: @Scott...We did the VIP thing with the documentary and Q&A around the corner. My buddy lives in Sussex and rarely gets a day out with just a friend, so I told him to come EARLY! We were on line about 2 hours early and the front of house guy was so cool he let us put our shirts/jackets down on any seats we wanted and go out for a meal or whatever and come back to our seats. Such a cool dude. We went and ate and drank and went back and sat right back down in front. That and getting to talk to Richard Thompson at the film viewing. Great day. AND...what an amazing performance. He emotes, big time!
	♥ 11:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Andrew...glad you made it. Yes, amazing show. I was in tears throughout that whole set. Powerful!
	♥ 11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jeff...I'll have to see if I can find that. Hopefully it wasn't a one and done type o' thang.
	♥ 11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: Stevel...how's it going?
	♥ 11:27pm Andrew Waterloo: I saw him in London, Ontario.
	11:29pm Joe B: Sounds like a great experience - my last RT show was at Town Hall in 2018
	11:30pm Jeff Conklin: Was that electric Joe? Caught him solo acoustic a bunch but never electric :/
	11:30pm Joe B: yeah it was great. He did three songs solo acoustic for the encore
	11:31pm Joe B: I think I've seen an even split with RT - 3 band, 3 solo
	♥ 11:33pm Mr. Pumpy: I love this station so much. My personal experience is near 40 years of my never being disappointed. There is such a breadth of artists and personalities to be heard here. To think, just last night I was talking about the new Live Burial album on Keilidh's Hits From The Crypt and now we're talking Thompson and jazz and such. This station and it's listeners have a true appreciation for art. Not to say we all like everything, but rather many of us like many things. I love it. Makes me get a bit teary...
	♥ 11:33pm Chop Scott: Thanks Jeff--enjoying immensely! Cheers to the Skeleton Crew as always!!
	♥ 11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Mr. Belock...what a great venue! I love the ol' Town Hall. It must have been great.
	♥ 11:34pm StringOFperils: The electric RT sets are pretty muscular. He has a lot of energy and he like to really push those solos into Calvary Cross territory. He's never not amazing, but I prefer his acoustic 'old' English stuff the best...and the real pain that comes across on the albums with his ex, Linda.
	♥ 11:34pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:35pm Bill C: You’re right, Mr Pumpy.
	♥ 11:36pm Mr. Pumpy: @String, I've watched a bunch of the electric stuff, but never saw it live. I'd like to, but I know what you mean about the acoustic attack. Great stuff. He's a powerhouse.
	♥ 11:36pm northguineahills: Been away packing, but listening.
	11:36pm annette: kottke . great small venues in scranton and wilkes barre. the best shows.
	11:37pm Joe B: @Pumpy - it was - Irene Trudel was there also. I did enjoy that album, 13 Rivers, kinda wish he had done more than 4 from it but with a classic artist like that they have so much ground to cover. Funny for all the shows I've seen and lived in this area my whole life, I haven't been to Town Hall that often. Maybe 5 times total
	11:38pm Jeff Conklin: I was really psyched to see Bruce Cockburn this spring in Newton, NJ but alas....
	♥ 11:38pm northguineahills: What the great Belock and Mr. Pumpy said....
	♥ 11:38pm mewidmer: What’s the date of the ‘73 bird song you mentioned? It’s an easy but Veneta continues to be my top
	11:39pm annette: hard to put into words. but are we aware that we are the heal all.
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: 6/22/73
	♥ 11:42pm Mr. Pumpy: Newton Theater is such a great place. I caught Dick Dale there just before he left us.
	11:48pm blythest: this is beautiful
	♥ 11:48pm mewidmer: Thanks! Out of a middle 1st set box of rain
	11:49pm Saul Wright: lovely song just like time, it’s almost over now...
	♥ 11:52pm Mr. Pumpy: The sound of the pick is really bringing it home...lovely.
	11:55pm K-Rizzle: Cheers from Montana. Thanks for the spins.
	11:56pm Saul Wright: Really dig Zachary Cale
	11:57pm Joe B: thanks Jeff, great show!
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks for listening, all. And thanks to Scott Williams for steering the ship!
	♥ 11:58pm chresti: Thanks Jeff, good night everybody.
	♥ 11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Enjoyed the show tonight, Jeff. Signed, one lurkey-loo.
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, Jeff.
	♥ 11:58pm Ignatatus666: See you on the Darkside
