Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:37pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: We are FINALLY back to our regular schedule! Box 13, back up front!
	♥ 9:02pm WR: Let's DO lunch!
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:02 Of course! Name the diner, and I'll have the blue plate special.
	♥ 9:03pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Enthralled! I'm going eyes down for a full Show of thrills! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:04pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin! Gotta admit, i miss the "Night Before Xmas" parodies that kicked off last month's show, hehe...
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott67 @9:03 We do hope we can deliver, Scott67.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:04 I can send you the file, if you'd like.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Box 13 is interesting and fun
	9:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:04 ooh yes!
	9:05pm Mr Fab: Paul Frees?
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:04 Will do!
	♥ 9:05pm Scott67: Orson Wells??
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:04 I think Mr. Fab might be right. Paul doing his best Orson.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder if old radio shows ever did crossover stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: That wasn't meant just for Imaginos, but... you know.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:06 Good question! I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I suspect that it happened. I should do a cut-up so that Dan Guests on other shows...
	♥ 9:07pm Scott67: Drugged before!! Just a few dozen times!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: Looks like Mr. Fab was right; this episode of Box 13 turns up in the "Paul Frees" collection in a number of places online.
	♥ 9:09pm Scott67: Cool.
	♥ 9:09pm Scott67: Slappy slap fight?
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott67 @9:07 Someone like Dan Holiday is familiar with all the usual alcohols and drugs. Occupational hazard. (Though, as we've heard established in previous episodes: Dan usually turns down alcohol, and chooses other things... but I suspect that's just him being a little straight while he's on the case.
	♥ 9:10pm Scott67: He said that a little too seductively.
	9:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Scott67 @9:09 ha, that's what happens when you're on drugs.
	♥ 9:12pm Scott67: Get a room!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: I feel like a lot of noir / detective shows end up doing a story that involves a sanitarium. I should find the others, and compare the stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Even Sherlock Holmes if you count They Might be Giants.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 That movie is very underrated. It's better than advertised.
	9:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 I counted They Might be Giants - there's two of 'em. Oh, you mean the movie!
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: If I'm not mistaken, we don't have anymore holiday shows for a while, so we will be hearing the end-run of both "Box 13" and "Dimension X" uninterrupted over the next several weeks. I think they will both run out sometime in March, if memory serves.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @9:17 Lol!
	9:18pm Mike Rogers: Hi Austin san! Greetings from Japan!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:18 Mike Rogers! Always a pleasure to have you in the chat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: I haven't decided 100% what will follow Box 13, but I do have a few ideas. There aren't many episodes, but "Candy Matson" is one of the few female detective shows that was popular in the Old Time Radio era, and has been largely forgotten in the modern era. I would probably only take a few months to air all the existing episodes, and it might be nice to run something short in comparison to the year-plus it has taken to run Box 13.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds like a winding siren
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: "Mayfair Productions" also made The Damon Runyun Theater, a sort of comedy / gangster / noir type show. For consistency's sake, might be fun to have another Mayfair show, too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: If we are looking for a show that is sort of like Box 13, with a star in the lead, "Rocky Fortune" stars Frank Sinatra, and is about a tough guy who drifts from odd job to odd job, and in the process, ends up in an adventure with each new job he takes. (Often in the noir vein.) That one seems like a good follow-up as well.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: "Long Rest." After staying in a sanitarium. Dan, that card...
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Rather abrupt ending.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Now Dan is afraid of Lunches? Oh no! How awful!
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: I adore this song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Have you ever heard of Living Strings?
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Oh yeah! I've got one or two Living Strings records around here somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: They were very enjoyable
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:31 I'm a sucker for a lot of old pop standards and music like this. My parents were so into Rock & Roll, that anything from before that seemed so cool and interesting.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: Finally, we are going to hear a VERY long run of Bold Venture episodes, for most of 2023, really. So it's probably a good thing that we've been power-loading all those documentaries about Bogart and Bacall...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: At this point in Bogart's career, he could mostly decide if he wanted to work or not, and could pick his projects on his own. Clearly, he had an affection for "Bold Venture"; the production company that he owned produced the show, they wrote the character of Shannon for Bogart and the character of Sailor for Bacall, and the premise of the show seems to combine a few of the roles that he made popular on screen, capitalizing on his already massive star power. My theory is that, since he got to spend a lot of time with Lauren both while recording and when they were off work, and he could drink a fair amount and still record radio, making "Bold Venture" was an easy choice to make.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: According to a number of sources, recording "Bold Venture" earned Bogart $5,000 a week in 1951. That's $57,252.12 a week, in 2022 dollars, another reason to want to work in radio.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I had a record of old folk songs called 21 Short Songs Little People.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:42 Ha! I bet that record is pretty good!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 I got this album when I was in my 20s. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 It is. Some fun songs like Butterfly, Donkey Donkey, and Mammals
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Do you remember the old Let's Pretend records.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50 I'm not familiar. Was this a record Label, or a band?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: It was a series of stories for children including Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and The White Cat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:54 Oh, yes! I think I have one or two, but I didn't realize it was a series. I have the Snow White one.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: "This ugly little beast in my hand," is one of the more fun ways to say, "gun."
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: It was originally an old radio show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:56 I might have the record, but I'm positive I've never listened to it. So I can't say what it sounds like, or anything about it. Just one of the kids records I found, while thrifting.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: This "plaster" gag is sort of like the Maltese Falcon being covered by something else in the book / film.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder what Max Headroom would have been like if they made it into an old style detective series
	10:04pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 I'd be surprised if there weren't some clips of Max at least doing the old time detective shtick! Austin would know way better than I, though. Also hi from lurkerland!
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:04 Ahoy, Heather
	10:05pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 Ahoy Imaginos!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been watching old classic movies from the 1940s.
	10:11pm Mr Fab: Oh my God-zilla it’s raining so hard (with a deafening burst of thunder) that Bogie and Bacall were getting (literally!) drowned out. My daughter has actually never experienced this kind of weather before. Hope you all are high n dry. (Or at least high, nyuk nyuk)
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:11 We had some wild rain earlier today, but it's pretty drizzly now. Just a steady stream.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:06 Thanks my style!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @10:11 It was no storm, but a Magna of Illusion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 You could totally do a "noir" version of Max, where you recast a few of the roles more like a something like "Out of The Past." I could totally see it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 A noir Max called Out of the Future?
	10:17pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Indeed, she did werk!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:17 Ha! That's a good idea!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: Sounds like Otto Preminger was sort of a jerk.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: What you start to realize about Lauren Bacall is that she just sort of went after any guy she fancied, when she wanted to, and that's pretty bold, if you ask me. She's sort of ahead of her time.
	10:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Probably headed down south to us now. Great weather for sitting with a cocktail listing to OTR, I will say that.
	10:22pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Call me a pervert! But she was a hottie well into her years.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Have to get up early tomorrow so turning in for the night
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:22 Agreed. I had a crush for years. I guess I still do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:22 Good night! Sleep well!
	10:23pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:22 Good night!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: That weird sound behind that last scene, another Korla Pandit specialty.
	10:24pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:22 It's not pervy to recognize timeless beauty! Goodness. So gorgeous. So talented.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: While it does seem hard to follow Chandu, you should keep in mind that really, not much has happened. They are still in Cairo, they are still fighting against Roxor, and we still haven't found Dot's / Dorthory's husband, Robert, who has been missing for a while, and they all suspect he is in Cairo. And that's really all you need to know about most episodes of Chandu.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Again, a lot of people have mentioned Robert, or said they know where he is... and no one has seen him yet.
	♥ 10:34pm WR: Tense!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:34 I do love that announcers voice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: This "kid" is unusually articulate, and manages to to add a little nuance to his performance, that I'm fairly certain that whoever is doing the kid's voice is actually an adult. Which is very common, both in radio and animation these days.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: I don't remember knowing college fight songs well enough to parody them when I was a kid, but maybe I hung out with the wrong kids?
	10:44pm Heather: I think it might be something that was out of style by the time we were in school? Except, as I was typing at, I clearly remembered my high school's fight song. Glad that's taking up memory space! Oh no.... oh no! This part!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: "The Whole World Is Evil." I need to sample that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:44 I knew my High School's fight song when I was in High School. But I didn't know the fight song's of colleges when I was 13.
	10:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 I did see this coming about no dog but still. This is very true. Couldn't sing a one for you. But I bet my dad could!.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:46 I should probably sample all this gun talk and turn it into a Mini-Mutations anit-gun song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 anti-gun, I mean...
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 It’s weird how there were entire commercial albums released of college theme songs. And other albums would drop in occasional covers of them. If my uni had a song, I had no idea…
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 I bet my college - Portland State University - probably had a fight song, but by the time I was a student there, I didn't care about sports at all. So I never had a chance to learn it.
	10:51pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 Yesss! That would be so good!
	♥ 10:52pm WR: They dropped the name of: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Geneseo definitely played the school song on record when I went for orientation. I recall clearly the man singing sounded like he was melting.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:52 H.V. Kaltenborn! Probably best known from his role in, "The Day The Earth Stood Still," where he plays himself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 (I was in the middle of posting that link, but you beat me to it, WR.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Heather, as a New Yorker, probably remembers in history class, when they talked about the 1975 invasion of Buffalo from Canada, as this kid discussed earlier in the show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: That description, where the kid was saying all those gruesome things... I need to sample that, too.
	10:58pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 I was only a small baby when it happened but there was a lot of concern I learned about later that Rochester would also fall under Canadian control. Buffalo was successful in beating back Canada but the invasion is why they all say "eh" now in Buffalo. A lot of the Canadians married Buffalo War Brides so the influence lingers still.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: That famous old war song: "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," always brings a tear to the eyes those veterans.
	♥ 11:00pm WR: That music would give anyone a headache.
	11:01pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 We heard recordingings when I was in grade school. The haunting strains of Canadians.... shuffling off.... to Buffalo. Scared us kids a little.
	♥ 11:01pm WR: oooh, it was fatal.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: See ya'll next time! Thanks everyone!
	11:04pm Heather: Hey that was great! Thanks for another great show, Austin, and a fun chat all! Good night!
	♥ 11:05pm WR: That ending hit me, brought some tears. Poor dad. Thank you Austin. Laters all.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @11:05 That story hit me a little hard the first time, too. It's pretty powerful, and well acted. Dimension X at its best.

	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: This "plaster" gag is sort of like the Maltese Falcon being covered by something else in the book / film.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder what Max Headroom would have been like if they made it into an old style detective series
	10:04pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 I'd be surprised if there weren't some clips of Max at least doing the old time detective shtick! Austin would know way better than I, though. Also hi from lurkerland!
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:04 Ahoy, Heather
	10:05pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 Ahoy Imaginos!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been watching old classic movies from the 1940s.
	10:11pm Mr Fab: Oh my God-zilla it’s raining so hard (with a deafening burst of thunder) that Bogie and Bacall were getting (literally!) drowned out. My daughter has actually never experienced this kind of weather before. Hope you all are high n dry. (Or at least high, nyuk nyuk)
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:11 We had some wild rain earlier today, but it's pretty drizzly now. Just a steady stream.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:06 Thanks my style!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @10:11 It was no storm, but a Magna of Illusion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 You could totally do a "noir" version of Max, where you recast a few of the roles more like a something like "Out of The Past." I could totally see it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 A noir Max called Out of the Future?
	10:17pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 Indeed, she did werk!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:17 Ha! That's a good idea!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: Sounds like Otto Preminger was sort of a jerk.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: What you start to realize about Lauren Bacall is that she just sort of went after any guy she fancied, when she wanted to, and that's pretty bold, if you ask me. She's sort of ahead of her time.
	10:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Probably headed down south to us now. Great weather for sitting with a cocktail listing to OTR, I will say that.
	10:22pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Call me a pervert! But she was a hottie well into her years.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Have to get up early tomorrow so turning in for the night
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:22 Agreed. I had a crush for years. I guess I still do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:22 Good night! Sleep well!
	10:23pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:22 Good night!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: That weird sound behind that last scene, another Korla Pandit specialty.
	10:24pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:22 It's not pervy to recognize timeless beauty! Goodness. So gorgeous. So talented.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: While it does seem hard to follow Chandu, you should keep in mind that really, not much has happened. They are still in Cairo, they are still fighting against Roxor, and we still haven't found Dot's / Dorthory's husband, Robert, who has been missing for a while, and they all suspect he is in Cairo. And that's really all you need to know about most episodes of Chandu.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Again, a lot of people have mentioned Robert, or said they know where he is... and no one has seen him yet.
	♥ 10:34pm WR: Tense!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:34 I do love that announcers voice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: This "kid" is unusually articulate, and manages to to add a little nuance to his performance, that I'm fairly certain that whoever is doing the kid's voice is actually an adult. Which is very common, both in radio and animation these days.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: I don't remember knowing college fight songs well enough to parody them when I was a kid, but maybe I hung out with the wrong kids?
	10:44pm Heather: I think it might be something that was out of style by the time we were in school? Except, as I was typing at, I clearly remembered my high school's fight song. Glad that's taking up memory space! Oh no.... oh no! This part!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: "The Whole World Is Evil." I need to sample that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:44 I knew my High School's fight song when I was in High School. But I didn't know the fight song's of colleges when I was 13.
	10:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 I did see this coming about no dog but still. This is very true. Couldn't sing a one for you. But I bet my dad could!.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:46 I should probably sample all this gun talk and turn it into a Mini-Mutations anit-gun song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 anti-gun, I mean...
	10:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 It’s weird how there were entire commercial albums released of college theme songs. And other albums would drop in occasional covers of them. If my uni had a song, I had no idea…
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:49 I bet my college - Portland State University - probably had a fight song, but by the time I was a student there, I didn't care about sports at all. So I never had a chance to learn it.
	10:51pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 Yesss! That would be so good!
	♥ 10:52pm WR: They dropped the name of: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Geneseo definitely played the school song on record when I went for orientation. I recall clearly the man singing sounded like he was melting.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:52 H.V. Kaltenborn! Probably best known from his role in, "The Day The Earth Stood Still," where he plays himself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 (I was in the middle of posting that link, but you beat me to it, WR.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Heather, as a New Yorker, probably remembers in history class, when they talked about the 1975 invasion of Buffalo from Canada, as this kid discussed earlier in the show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: That description, where the kid was saying all those gruesome things... I need to sample that, too.
	10:58pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 I was only a small baby when it happened but there was a lot of concern I learned about later that Rochester would also fall under Canadian control. Buffalo was successful in beating back Canada but the invasion is why they all say "eh" now in Buffalo. A lot of the Canadians married Buffalo War Brides so the influence lingers still.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: That famous old war song: "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," always brings a tear to the eyes those veterans.
	♥ 11:00pm WR: That music would give anyone a headache.
	11:01pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 We heard recordingings when I was in grade school. The haunting strains of Canadians.... shuffling off.... to Buffalo. Scared us kids a little.
	♥ 11:01pm WR: oooh, it was fatal.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: See ya'll next time! Thanks everyone!
	11:04pm Heather: Hey that was great! Thanks for another great show, Austin, and a fun chat all! Good night!
	♥ 11:05pm WR: That ending hit me, brought some tears. Poor dad. Thank you Austin. Laters all.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @11:05 That story hit me a little hard the first time, too. It's pretty powerful, and well acted. Dimension X at its best.
