	6:06am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Ruth!
	6:07am manana: awake, happily shrinking
	6:08am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, manana!
	6:10am People Like Us: These Days by Nico could be sung over that last track
	6:12am Andy: Hey all! Pretty new to the Shrunken Planet lifestyle, but I look forward to these spacey, fuzzy early Saturday mornings all week now.
	6:15am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Vicki and Andy! @People Like Us: I didn't think of that! @Andy: thanks!
	6:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'These Days' written by Jackson Browne when he was 16 or something...
	6:18am TDK60: I heard that melody.
	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Rev Rabbit! I'm guessing that the People Like Us comment just meant that version, and yeah, that song was a keeper. If you haven't heard the early demos, take a look for them. Browne hated them, but they're pretty damn good.
	6:20am Kevin-san: Reminds me of the unreleased Elton John number, "Saturday Mornings Are Alright for Waking Up to Avant and Acid Folk"
	6:22am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Kevin-san! And yeah, that lost Elton John track...
	6:22am Nulsh: Gary Lucas & Jozef Van Wissem did a really nice version of These Days. Guitar and lute I think.
	6:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always loved Nico. Yeah Kevin-san I've herd those & I can't reckon the decision...
	6:24am Jeffrey Davison: @Nulsh: I must have heard that at some point, but will have to go back and check...
	6:24am TDK60: Somebody call . Chapman, wake him up, ask if it was on-purpose melody, subconscious, coincidence. Thanks.
	6:25am Kevin-san: It's a banger! Always good to survive another week and enjoy the shrinkage with Jeffrey. NULSH! Ha, I heard a word yesterday that sums up These Days, "procrastilaxing" obv. for procrastinating AND relaxing at the same time
	6:25am Jeffrey Davison: @TDK60: dialing now...
	6:25am Niall: G’morning! Liking the direction of today’s show already.
	6:27am upstatesean: Whadap Jeff, prolaxilators, 😀
	6:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
	6:27am Niall: Duke: where upstate? I’ve lived in The Frozen North many times over my lifetime.
	6:28am TDK60: Morning Nulsh. I can still say that, right?
	6:28am Stanley: Good morning smoothies.
	6:28am upstatesean: Prolaxilasting, I mean. Ha!
	6:29am upstatesean: I can’t do it! Autocorrect Devil
	6:29am Nulsh: Jeffrey, the album is The Universe of Absence. I need to go listen again myself now! Mr Lucas just released a retrospective album. Kevin-san! That's great! TDK60! Yes you can! Got me another 30 mins of coffee time. Stanley! Hello! How was yer' haggis?
	6:30am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Niall, Stanley, upstatesean!
	6:32am Niall: I recently picked up Bruce Langhorne’s “Hired Hand” soundtrack, and I love it; what should I grab next by that guy?
	6:34am Kevin-san: @Rev Rabbit: tomorrow's going to be a better day for that, I'm sure
	6:34am TDK60: Niall. How goes? Never heard any Langhorne solo! But always blown away by his playing on others' records.
	6:36am Sem: Good morning, Jeffrey, Ruth itb, and shrunken planet devotees.
	6:36am Nulsh: Jeffrey, I really enjoyed last week's show! I only got to hear it yesterday!
	6:37am jeremyo: That AJ Woods track was very fine. And a belated good morning to all
	6:39am Niall: TDK60 - heya! Yeah, reading about him I get the sense he was one of those artists who made other people’s records better.
	6:40am jeremyo: @Niall that soundtrack is wonderful, I'd also like to hear recommendations on other BL-to-the-fore stuff (as opposed to the myriad things he contributed to as a sideman)
	6:42am jeremyo: ...mind you, if this is any guide there's very little "solo" stuff to be had www.discogs.com... Maybe track down that Tambourine album
	6:42am Stanley: Hi Nulsh.Have to admit it's still there, looking at me. Ran out of time to cook on the planned Burns night. Had to get a fish supper, which comes a close second. I told it we'll be enjoying it's peppery, savoury taste in the week. It said that was okay.
	6:42am TDK60: Niall, all, just a reminder: Bruce L. was the Mr. Tambourine Man, ya know.
	6:42am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning jeremyo! @Nulsh: thanks! And yeah, Langhorne was a great musician...
	6:43am Niall: This song reminds me a little of “Down Where The Drunkards Go.”
	6:44am Niall: “Son David,” that is.
	6:44am Cooh John: Good morning Jeffrey, Sem, Ruth, and fellow planeteers. Joining the rotation and starting my day with a lovely tonic of our gathering.
	6:44am Niall: TDK60: aye, I just read that!
	6:44am Zoot: Drunken Planet
	6:45am Niall: Ta very much, Jeremyo.
	6:45am Sem: Good day, Cooh John!
	6:45am Deborah: Super at procrastinating; not so much at "procrastilaxing."
	6:46am TDK60: Morning Stanley. Never had haggis! (And that's from one with a Scots last name.) So, you can talk to haggis. Hmmm.
	6:46am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Cooh John and Zoot! @Zoot: still on the caffeine drip
	6:46am Niall: Deffo procrastilaxing here. Love it.
	6:47am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: I'll have to listen and compare. For sure R. Thompson knows Son David.
	6:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Sem!
	6:52am Bas NL: Hello Jeffrey! All!
	6:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Discussing Bruce Langhorne reminds me of how ignorant I am of who the players on Dylan albums are - despite how significant & intimately familiar that stuff is. Probly somewhat deliberate on Bob's part?...
	6:53am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Bas!
	6:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. My trad Irish bagpipe friend has told me a little about the 'Travelers'...
	6:54am Stanley: TDK - I like haggis but it's not for the faint hearted! I sometimes have it with eggs and potato scones for breakfast, otherwise, the traditional way with potatoes, neeps (swede) and onion sauce.
	6:55am Jeffrey Davison: @Rev Rabbit: you might be right about Dylan and the musicians who played on his albums, though nowadays I guess that information is out there.
	6:56am Jeffrey Davison: @RRN63: Ewan MacColl was a great champion of the Travelers, who were scorned by many...
	6:57am Cooh John: Hi Sem. Bracing for a possible snowstorm this weekend. Firewood, popcorn, beer, WFMU: I am ready.
	7:01am Roadside Picnic: morning Jeffrey and all. enjoyed that Jeannie Robertson-only ever heard her before on an old poor quality cassette .That sounded really clear. What a voice !
	7:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Re Traverlers : My piper friend took me to see the great piper Paddy Keenan - & I remarked that I got a sort of powerful wild Gypsy vibe off him immediately. & my friend said - funny you should say that...
	7:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Travelers ...well it's Mercury Retrograde time again. Let's all talk backwards...
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Roadside Picnic! (and yeah, J. Robertson was a great one.) @RRN63: Paddy Keenan is great...
	7:11am Ted in Montclair: Good morning Jeffrey and Planeteers. The song just played, North Country Maid, evokes Hamnet, an entrancing novel I’m reading that is about Shakespeare’s (imagined) family life.
	7:12am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Ted, and that makes sense! I hear that Hamnet is quite good...I might go grab a copy.
	7:15am Zoot: On my list:Hamnet and Dark Brittanica
	7:17am Niall: “Ignis Astrifer,” not every day one can buy a spell on bandcamp.
	7:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love 'Upstart Crow' - a BritCom on the Bard's life.
	7:18am Zoot: And a bottle of Loch Dhu
	7:18am Niall: Though I see that’s on Cold Spring, so… not a surprise, but a mixed blessing.
	7:18am Ted in Montclair: Jeffrey, please do. The book doesn’t just describe English life in the 1590s. It immerses you into it, makes you feel what it was like.
	7:19am Jeffrey Davison: @Zoot: There are four volumes of Dark Brittanica. @Niall:...and for only a buck...after a quick listen I liked volume 1 better, and have not heard 2 or 3. @Ted: thanks!
	7:22am Niall: Jeffrey, on Thursdays, check out 100-Proof Fountain, on Louisville’s ArtXFM: www.facebook.com... You’re gonna be so simpatico with this program, it’ll… well, in the words of Jerry Lewis, “it’ll make ya shit.”
	7:22am Niall: ArtXFM is Louisville’s WFMU.
	7:23am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: thanks for the tip! Is it possible to listen without going on FB?
	7:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I tuned into ArtXFM for 'FuzzBox' for a while... I think she crossed over onto an FMU stream for a minute or something...
	7:27am Niall: Jeffrey oh yeah, definitely - just use Fb for scheduling details: www.artxfm.com Thursdays, 4pm-6pm
	7:28am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: thanks again!
	7:28am Niall: Just giving the DJ some. ;)
	7:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ArtXFM Stream URL : s7.viastreaming.net
	7:31am Niall: Oo, Pentangle.
	7:32am jeremyo: there's no mistaking Danny Thompson, is there? I don't know this Pentangle album/track, but knew Danny pretty much instantaneously. What a legend.
	7:33am jeremyo: Correction. Apparently I actually have this album. Why on earth don't I listen to it?
	7:33am TDK60: So many new things learned on the WFMU comment board! Never heard of ArtXFM. I'm always making notes for further research. It gets crowded on this desktop!
	7:34am Jeffrey Davison: @jeremyo: I think I had this album and sold it. Guess I will have to correct that. And yeah, Danny Thompson is so great...
	7:36am Nulsh: Niall, ArtXFM looks intriguing! Cheers fer' the nod.
	7:37am jeremyo: @Jeffrey yes indeed. I'll have to remind myself what the rest of the album is like. That particular track at least track has much of the vibe of Tim Buckley's mid-period greats (including his live recording with DT!). Gorgeous
	7:42am Niall: Nulsh: I've lived in Louisville a couple times and it was a boundless source of new home pride. Oldham's got a show on there, Tim Barnes, who's been on pretty much every album that matters in the last 25 years, and more. Artistically, the town punches way above its weight.
	7:43am jeremyo: This Trees album, like so many things, reminds me of an old friend who introduced me to so much stuff I love thirty years later. He came across a private press album that had Dave Costa from Trees on it. It was quite good, but not good enough for me to buy off him when he found a second copy - just couldn't afford it at the time. Big mistake
	7:45am jeremyo: You're doing these "fair" isles proud today, @Jeffrey. Unlike a lot of their inhabitants
	7:45am Niall: I think my first "what is with this town" moment in Louisville was when I went to an empty dub night at a local art space, where the DJ was playing crazy deep cuts on vinyl. Then I figured out that he was the bassist for the old 4AD band Dif Juz, haha!
	7:46am Niall: Jeremyo, sick burn!
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: I gotta get down to Louisville one of these days... @jeremyo: Yeah, I've made mistakes like that! Ha! Those things haunt the record digger... And this set was half planned and half made up on the fly.
	7:46am dale: morning. this set of music is down right perfect.
	7:48am Niall: How many times have I confused Sandy Denny and Sandy Bull?
	7:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning dale! @jeremyo: what private press album was Dave Costa on?
	7:51am jeremyo: Niall, Jeffrey, damn right! Haunted is the word. Mind you I've lucked into plenty of things too so I can't complain. The album in question was Jeremy Harmer's. Somewhere I've got a cassette of it that Dave made me back in 1990... I don't think it's been reissued but you can hear bits here, and it's pretty good www.discogs.com... It would have been worth the £30 for sure
	7:59am jeremyo: Blimey, that Jon Wilks version is gorgeous. An instant follow on Twitter for @JonWilksMusic
	8:02am dale: i missed lay the bent.....was that a cruel sister themed tune?
	8:04am tfunk: Just woke up. How did everyone sleep?
	8:07am Stanley: tfunk - not bad, myself. Had a weird dream I was having an affair with a French woman, who looked like my friend's wife. Though, in the dream that was a pure coincidence.
	8:07am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Digging this morning’s show as I’m frying up corned beef hash & eggs. The damn dog woke me up at 4:45 am. Now she’s back in bed LOL.
	8:08am Andy: Love ArtXFM. I grew up In Louisville and went to school at UofL, bur moved away in 2005 before that got going. WFPK was the only place to hear the weird stuff back then on some of the shows they’d stick on the overnight...
	8:08am Marshland: FYI, re. The Owl Service, there's been recent releases on Bandcamp by Greenvine, who are former members Diana Collier & Steven Collins.
	8:09am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Jeff formerly from Rahway! @jeremyo: I'd like to think that I picked up more rare records than I overlooked or decided not to buy (or sold too cheap). And that Jon Wilks album promises to be a good one. I think there is only that single up on Bandcamp. Good morning Andy!
	8:11am jeremyo: @Jeffrey looks like the album has started shipping to some people and the the rest of us in a couple of weeks jonwilks.bandcamp.com...
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: yes, a version of Cruel Sister... Good morning tfunk: not great, thanks...
	8:14am Buddha of Suburbia: Good morning Jeffrey Davison! Morning friends!
	8:15am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Buddha!
	8:18am TDK60: Good morning Buddha.
	8:20am Niall: Townes bleak AF
	8:21am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Jeffrey! Morning TDK60!
	8:21am Deborah: So Townes Van Zandt!
	8:22am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: yeah, he sure can be. Not all the songs of course, but he does this better than anyone.
	8:23am TDK60: I just found out that, in the '70s Townes stayed for several months in my small city (far from Texas) in a boading house where some of my music pals also lived. I might have met him but don't recall.
	8:24am dale: '....for burdens double-fold.' now THOSE are lyrics.
	8:24am Nulsh: BOOOOOOOOODAAAH! Howdy!
	8:25am Jeffrey Davison: @TDK60: would be cool if you met him. @dale: Townes has few peers as a songwriter.
	8:25am dale: vin scelsa told some crazy stories on idiot's delight about managing him.
	8:26am tfunk: Stanley - haha, wow. Some say dreams are healthy as it tends to be your mind digesting everything running through it. Who knows if that’s true or not. Have a wonderful Saturday
	8:26am dale: morning buddhy sainte marie.
	8:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning NuuuuuuUUUuuuLLSh! Hey are you my amigo? Hi Dale.
	8:27am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: damn, I miss that show. Vin is a legend, and I caught as many episodes of Idiot's Delight as I could.
	8:32am dale: just googling around (sorry mark hurst - i'm sticking with it) and it seems his family put up some recordings of his show as podcasts. www.iheart.com...
	8:32am Nulsh: Boodz. I am tip-top thanks! The right side of the grass etc. Good to be catching my WFMU fix in real real time! How's you?
	8:32am Deborah: Listened to Vin Scelsa since the day I showed up at WFMU in awe that Scelsa actually walked into a staff meeting where I was a not yet on the air volunteer. The whole scene was memorable, even then.
	8:34am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: thanks for the tip! @Deborah: good one...
	8:38am melinda: morning everyone
	8:39am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning melinda!
	8:39am TDK60: Morning Melinda.
	8:39am tfunk: There is no better way to start the Saturday morning than Shrunken Planet > Bob Brainen
	8:41am Jeffrey Davison: @tfunk...agreed! ;)
	8:44am Chris: Jeff, you’re killing my bank account with all these amazing artists you introduce me to. Discogs loves me.
	8:45am TDK60: Buddha still here? Can you contact me via my "profile" page?
	8:46am dale: this sounds like roger miller.
	8:46am YETI BOB: hi Jeff and everyone, I've been sitting with my cat in my lap listening this morning, thanks for the nice calm vibes
	8:47am jeremyo: @Chris Shrunken Planet = Expensive Habit
	8:47am Jeffrey Davison: @Chris: Ha! Glad to be of service... @dale: he reminded me of someone else but can't recall now who that was, but Roger Miller for sure. Good one... Good morning YETI BOB! @jeremyo: Ha!
	8:48am YETI BOB: I've been buying a lot more records since COVID. But I'm not spending money going out to shows, so I think it kind of balances out
	8:48am melinda: such a great song
	8:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Buck Fiden! Hear ya...what a voice. @YETI BOB: good pernt.
	8:48am Buddha of Suburbia: TDK60, sure! I'll do that. Hi Yeti Bob!
	8:49am YETI BOB: good morning Buddha!
	8:49am Jeffrey Davison: @melinda: agreed...you can't write one much better than this one.
	8:50am melinda: For a long time I was not familiar with kristofferson's music, just his acting
	8:50am Corey: Good morning Jeffrey and listeners! Busy getting the pancakes going, but enjoying the selections!
	8:50am Deborah: Kristofferson just announced his retirement at age 84. Wow.
	8:51am TDK60: I keep on harping on this; Kris K.'s first song on his first LP is: "Blame It On The Stones." Don't know why it's not more played.
	8:52am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Corey, and thanks! @Deborah: Kris no slouch...84! @TDK60: gonna check again...thanks!
	8:52am Coygal: Good morning! These tunes always set a positive pace for my Saturday. I hope all of you have a good day. Thanks, Jeffrey.
	8:52am YETI BOB: I think my Dad had only 2 cassettes in his car - back in the early/mid 70s - one was "The Silver-Haired Devil and I" by Kris Kris, and the other was "Sweet Revenge" by John Prine. I know all the songs on those 2 albums backwards and forwards.
	8:53am Chris: That Fotheringay album has alluded me for awhile now.
	8:53am 12539: Thank! You! Mr Davison! And also Ruth, it goes without saying, so it's not said often enough.
	8:53am YETI BOB: It really brings me back to hear Krisofferson (even though that's from a different album)
	8:54am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Coygal! @YETI BOB: those are two good ones! Chris: ya gotta get that one. Reissues not so much $
	8:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show Jeffrey!
	8:55am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks 12539! Thanks Andrew!
	8:55am TDK60: Gracias Jeffrey. Till again...
	8:55am jeremyo: Lovely show again Jeffrey, glad to catch it in real time for a change.
	8:56am TheoC in Sharon CT: Oh I miss Pete’s
	8:56am Nulsh: Thanks fer' the show Jeffrey! Cheers Ruth! Bye amigos!
	8:56am Sem: Grateful for this show, and all who sail on it. Later, all.
	8:56am Chris: Eluded me, not alluded. Jesus, wake up.
	8:56am Ted in Montclair: We are fortified against the gathering darkness for 7 more days. That Kristofferson was a revelation. Thanks and see you next week.
	8:57am Deborah: This show further enhanced my procrastination, in a good way. Time to do this day.
	8:57am YETI BOB: @Chris: Do you ever do Discogs? www.discogs.com...
	8:57am Ruth Booth: Stay warm, all!
	8:57am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks TDK60, Sem and Nulsh! @TheoC: oh yeah, I miss Pete's something awful. Thanks Ted, Deborah and Ruth!
	8:58am Chris: @YETI Oh yeah, lol. I’m there wayyy too often.

	9:00am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks HyperDose, Buddha! @Buck: cool...

	6:01am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Ruth!
	6:02am TDK60: Good morning Jeffrey, Ruth.
	6:02am Deborah: Good Morning Jeffrey, Ruth, WFMUniverse! Cat rises about 5 AM these winter days screaming for food and continual attention. Good first song; so true.
	6:03am Sigurður: Have an excellent day everyone
	6:04am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Ruth, Jeffrey, listeners
	6:04am Nulsh: Good mornin' folks!
	6:05am Andrew in Toronto: Good morning Jeffrey and all other Planeteers!
	6:05am duke: Hello Planetariums from the frozen upstate NY
	6:05am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning TDK60, Deborah, Sigurður, Sylvia and Nulsh!
	6:05am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Andrew and duke!
	6:06am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Ruth!
	6:07am manana: awake, happily shrinking
	6:08am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning, manana!
	6:10am People Like Us: These Days by Nico could be sung over that last track
	6:12am Andy: Hey all! Pretty new to the Shrunken Planet lifestyle, but I look forward to these spacey, fuzzy early Saturday mornings all week now.
	6:15am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Vicki and Andy! @People Like Us: I didn't think of that! @Andy: thanks!
	6:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'These Days' written by Jackson Browne when he was 16 or something...
	6:18am TDK60: I heard that melody.
	6:19am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Rev Rabbit! I'm guessing that the People Like Us comment just meant that version, and yeah, that song was a keeper. If you haven't heard the early demos, take a look for them. Browne hated them, but they're pretty damn good.
	6:20am Kevin-san: Reminds me of the unreleased Elton John number, "Saturday Mornings Are Alright for Waking Up to Avant and Acid Folk"
	6:22am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Kevin-san! And yeah, that lost Elton John track...
	6:22am Nulsh: Gary Lucas & Jozef Van Wissem did a really nice version of These Days. Guitar and lute I think.
	6:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always loved Nico. Yeah Kevin-san I've herd those & I can't reckon the decision...
	6:24am Jeffrey Davison: @Nulsh: I must have heard that at some point, but will have to go back and check...
	6:24am TDK60: Somebody call . Chapman, wake him up, ask if it was on-purpose melody, subconscious, coincidence. Thanks.
	6:25am Kevin-san: It's a banger! Always good to survive another week and enjoy the shrinkage with Jeffrey. NULSH! Ha, I heard a word yesterday that sums up These Days, "procrastilaxing" obv. for procrastinating AND relaxing at the same time
	6:25am Jeffrey Davison: @TDK60: dialing now...
	6:25am Niall: G’morning! Liking the direction of today’s show already.
	6:27am upstatesean: Whadap Jeff, prolaxilators, 😀
	6:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
	6:27am Niall: Duke: where upstate? I’ve lived in The Frozen North many times over my lifetime.
	6:28am TDK60: Morning Nulsh. I can still say that, right?
	6:28am Stanley: Good morning smoothies.
	6:28am upstatesean: Prolaxilasting, I mean. Ha!
	6:29am upstatesean: I can’t do it! Autocorrect Devil
	6:29am Nulsh: Jeffrey, the album is The Universe of Absence. I need to go listen again myself now! Mr Lucas just released a retrospective album. Kevin-san! That's great! TDK60! Yes you can! Got me another 30 mins of coffee time. Stanley! Hello! How was yer' haggis?
	6:30am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Niall, Stanley, upstatesean!
	6:32am Niall: I recently picked up Bruce Langhorne’s “Hired Hand” soundtrack, and I love it; what should I grab next by that guy?
	6:34am Kevin-san: @Rev Rabbit: tomorrow's going to be a better day for that, I'm sure
	6:34am TDK60: Niall. How goes? Never heard any Langhorne solo! But always blown away by his playing on others' records.
	6:36am Sem: Good morning, Jeffrey, Ruth itb, and shrunken planet devotees.
	6:36am Nulsh: Jeffrey, I really enjoyed last week's show! I only got to hear it yesterday!
	6:37am jeremyo: That AJ Woods track was very fine. And a belated good morning to all
	6:39am Niall: TDK60 - heya! Yeah, reading about him I get the sense he was one of those artists who made other people’s records better.
	6:40am jeremyo: @Niall that soundtrack is wonderful, I'd also like to hear recommendations on other BL-to-the-fore stuff (as opposed to the myriad things he contributed to as a sideman)
	6:42am jeremyo: ...mind you, if this is any guide there's very little "solo" stuff to be had www.discogs.com... Maybe track down that Tambourine album
	6:42am Stanley: Hi Nulsh.Have to admit it's still there, looking at me. Ran out of time to cook on the planned Burns night. Had to get a fish supper, which comes a close second. I told it we'll be enjoying it's peppery, savoury taste in the week. It said that was okay.
	6:42am TDK60: Niall, all, just a reminder: Bruce L. was the Mr. Tambourine Man, ya know.
	6:42am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning jeremyo! @Nulsh: thanks! And yeah, Langhorne was a great musician...
	6:43am Niall: This song reminds me a little of “Down Where The Drunkards Go.”
	6:44am Niall: “Son David,” that is.
	6:44am Cooh John: Good morning Jeffrey, Sem, Ruth, and fellow planeteers. Joining the rotation and starting my day with a lovely tonic of our gathering.
	6:44am Niall: TDK60: aye, I just read that!
	6:44am Zoot: Drunken Planet
	6:45am Niall: Ta very much, Jeremyo.
	6:45am Sem: Good day, Cooh John!
	6:45am Deborah: Super at procrastinating; not so much at "procrastilaxing."
	6:46am TDK60: Morning Stanley. Never had haggis! (And that's from one with a Scots last name.) So, you can talk to haggis. Hmmm.
	6:46am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Cooh John and Zoot! @Zoot: still on the caffeine drip
	6:46am Niall: Deffo procrastilaxing here. Love it.
	6:47am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: I'll have to listen and compare. For sure R. Thompson knows Son David.
	6:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Sem!
	6:52am Bas NL: Hello Jeffrey! All!
	6:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Discussing Bruce Langhorne reminds me of how ignorant I am of who the players on Dylan albums are - despite how significant & intimately familiar that stuff is. Probly somewhat deliberate on Bob's part?...
	6:53am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Bas!
	6:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. My trad Irish bagpipe friend has told me a little about the 'Travelers'...
	6:54am Stanley: TDK - I like haggis but it's not for the faint hearted! I sometimes have it with eggs and potato scones for breakfast, otherwise, the traditional way with potatoes, neeps (swede) and onion sauce.
	6:55am Jeffrey Davison: @Rev Rabbit: you might be right about Dylan and the musicians who played on his albums, though nowadays I guess that information is out there.
	6:56am Jeffrey Davison: @RRN63: Ewan MacColl was a great champion of the Travelers, who were scorned by many...
	6:57am Cooh John: Hi Sem. Bracing for a possible snowstorm this weekend. Firewood, popcorn, beer, WFMU: I am ready.
	7:01am Roadside Picnic: morning Jeffrey and all. enjoyed that Jeannie Robertson-only ever heard her before on an old poor quality cassette .That sounded really clear. What a voice !
	7:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Re Traverlers : My piper friend took me to see the great piper Paddy Keenan - & I remarked that I got a sort of powerful wild Gypsy vibe off him immediately. & my friend said - funny you should say that...
	7:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Travelers ...well it's Mercury Retrograde time again. Let's all talk backwards...
	7:08am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Roadside Picnic! (and yeah, J. Robertson was a great one.) @RRN63: Paddy Keenan is great...
	7:11am Ted in Montclair: Good morning Jeffrey and Planeteers. The song just played, North Country Maid, evokes Hamnet, an entrancing novel I’m reading that is about Shakespeare’s (imagined) family life.
	7:12am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Ted, and that makes sense! I hear that Hamnet is quite good...I might go grab a copy.
	7:15am Zoot: On my list:Hamnet and Dark Brittanica
	7:17am Niall: “Ignis Astrifer,” not every day one can buy a spell on bandcamp.
	7:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love 'Upstart Crow' - a BritCom on the Bard's life.
	7:18am Zoot: And a bottle of Loch Dhu
	7:18am Niall: Though I see that’s on Cold Spring, so… not a surprise, but a mixed blessing.
	7:18am Ted in Montclair: Jeffrey, please do. The book doesn’t just describe English life in the 1590s. It immerses you into it, makes you feel what it was like.
	7:19am Jeffrey Davison: @Zoot: There are four volumes of Dark Brittanica. @Niall:...and for only a buck...after a quick listen I liked volume 1 better, and have not heard 2 or 3. @Ted: thanks!
	7:22am Niall: Jeffrey, on Thursdays, check out 100-Proof Fountain, on Louisville’s ArtXFM: www.facebook.com... You’re gonna be so simpatico with this program, it’ll… well, in the words of Jerry Lewis, “it’ll make ya shit.”
	7:22am Niall: ArtXFM is Louisville’s WFMU.
	7:23am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: thanks for the tip! Is it possible to listen without going on FB?
	7:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I tuned into ArtXFM for 'FuzzBox' for a while... I think she crossed over onto an FMU stream for a minute or something...
	7:27am Niall: Jeffrey oh yeah, definitely - just use Fb for scheduling details: www.artxfm.com Thursdays, 4pm-6pm
	7:28am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: thanks again!
	7:28am Niall: Just giving the DJ some. ;)
	7:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ArtXFM Stream URL : s7.viastreaming.net
	7:31am Niall: Oo, Pentangle.
	7:32am jeremyo: there's no mistaking Danny Thompson, is there? I don't know this Pentangle album/track, but knew Danny pretty much instantaneously. What a legend.
	7:33am jeremyo: Correction. Apparently I actually have this album. Why on earth don't I listen to it?
	7:33am TDK60: So many new things learned on the WFMU comment board! Never heard of ArtXFM. I'm always making notes for further research. It gets crowded on this desktop!
	7:34am Jeffrey Davison: @jeremyo: I think I had this album and sold it. Guess I will have to correct that. And yeah, Danny Thompson is so great...
	7:36am Nulsh: Niall, ArtXFM looks intriguing! Cheers fer' the nod.
	7:37am jeremyo: @Jeffrey yes indeed. I'll have to remind myself what the rest of the album is like. That particular track at least track has much of the vibe of Tim Buckley's mid-period greats (including his live recording with DT!). Gorgeous
	7:42am Niall: Nulsh: I've lived in Louisville a couple times and it was a boundless source of new home pride. Oldham's got a show on there, Tim Barnes, who's been on pretty much every album that matters in the last 25 years, and more. Artistically, the town punches way above its weight.
	7:43am jeremyo: This Trees album, like so many things, reminds me of an old friend who introduced me to so much stuff I love thirty years later. He came across a private press album that had Dave Costa from Trees on it. It was quite good, but not good enough for me to buy off him when he found a second copy - just couldn't afford it at the time. Big mistake
	7:45am jeremyo: You're doing these "fair" isles proud today, @Jeffrey. Unlike a lot of their inhabitants
	7:45am Niall: I think my first "what is with this town" moment in Louisville was when I went to an empty dub night at a local art space, where the DJ was playing crazy deep cuts on vinyl. Then I figured out that he was the bassist for the old 4AD band Dif Juz, haha!
	7:46am Niall: Jeremyo, sick burn!
	7:46am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: I gotta get down to Louisville one of these days... @jeremyo: Yeah, I've made mistakes like that! Ha! Those things haunt the record digger... And this set was half planned and half made up on the fly.
	7:46am dale: morning. this set of music is down right perfect.
	7:48am Niall: How many times have I confused Sandy Denny and Sandy Bull?
	7:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning dale! @jeremyo: what private press album was Dave Costa on?
	7:51am jeremyo: Niall, Jeffrey, damn right! Haunted is the word. Mind you I've lucked into plenty of things too so I can't complain. The album in question was Jeremy Harmer's. Somewhere I've got a cassette of it that Dave made me back in 1990... I don't think it's been reissued but you can hear bits here, and it's pretty good www.discogs.com... It would have been worth the £30 for sure
	7:59am jeremyo: Blimey, that Jon Wilks version is gorgeous. An instant follow on Twitter for @JonWilksMusic
	8:02am dale: i missed lay the bent.....was that a cruel sister themed tune?
	8:04am tfunk: Just woke up. How did everyone sleep?
	8:07am Stanley: tfunk - not bad, myself. Had a weird dream I was having an affair with a French woman, who looked like my friend's wife. Though, in the dream that was a pure coincidence.
	8:07am Jeff formerly from Rahway: Digging this morning’s show as I’m frying up corned beef hash & eggs. The damn dog woke me up at 4:45 am. Now she’s back in bed LOL.
	8:08am Andy: Love ArtXFM. I grew up In Louisville and went to school at UofL, bur moved away in 2005 before that got going. WFPK was the only place to hear the weird stuff back then on some of the shows they’d stick on the overnight...
	8:08am Marshland: FYI, re. The Owl Service, there's been recent releases on Bandcamp by Greenvine, who are former members Diana Collier & Steven Collins.
	8:09am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Jeff formerly from Rahway! @jeremyo: I'd like to think that I picked up more rare records than I overlooked or decided not to buy (or sold too cheap). And that Jon Wilks album promises to be a good one. I think there is only that single up on Bandcamp. Good morning Andy!
	8:11am jeremyo: @Jeffrey looks like the album has started shipping to some people and the the rest of us in a couple of weeks jonwilks.bandcamp.com...
	8:12am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: yes, a version of Cruel Sister... Good morning tfunk: not great, thanks...
	8:14am Buddha of Suburbia: Good morning Jeffrey Davison! Morning friends!
	8:15am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Buddha!
	8:18am TDK60: Good morning Buddha.
	8:20am Niall: Townes bleak AF
	8:21am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Jeffrey! Morning TDK60!
	8:21am Deborah: So Townes Van Zandt!
	8:22am Jeffrey Davison: @Niall: yeah, he sure can be. Not all the songs of course, but he does this better than anyone.
	8:23am TDK60: I just found out that, in the '70s Townes stayed for several months in my small city (far from Texas) in a boading house where some of my music pals also lived. I might have met him but don't recall.
	8:24am dale: '....for burdens double-fold.' now THOSE are lyrics.
	8:24am Nulsh: BOOOOOOOOODAAAH! Howdy!
	8:25am Jeffrey Davison: @TDK60: would be cool if you met him. @dale: Townes has few peers as a songwriter.
	8:25am dale: vin scelsa told some crazy stories on idiot's delight about managing him.
	8:26am tfunk: Stanley - haha, wow. Some say dreams are healthy as it tends to be your mind digesting everything running through it. Who knows if that’s true or not. Have a wonderful Saturday
	8:26am dale: morning buddhy sainte marie.
	8:27am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning NuuuuuuUUUuuuLLSh! Hey are you my amigo? Hi Dale.
	8:27am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: damn, I miss that show. Vin is a legend, and I caught as many episodes of Idiot's Delight as I could.
	8:32am dale: just googling around (sorry mark hurst - i'm sticking with it) and it seems his family put up some recordings of his show as podcasts. www.iheart.com...
	8:32am Nulsh: Boodz. I am tip-top thanks! The right side of the grass etc. Good to be catching my WFMU fix in real real time! How's you?
	8:32am Deborah: Listened to Vin Scelsa since the day I showed up at WFMU in awe that Scelsa actually walked into a staff meeting where I was a not yet on the air volunteer. The whole scene was memorable, even then.
	8:34am Jeffrey Davison: @dale: thanks for the tip! @Deborah: good one...
	8:38am melinda: morning everyone
	8:39am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning melinda!
	8:39am TDK60: Morning Melinda.
	8:39am tfunk: There is no better way to start the Saturday morning than Shrunken Planet > Bob Brainen
	8:41am Jeffrey Davison: @tfunk...agreed! ;)
	8:44am Chris: Jeff, you’re killing my bank account with all these amazing artists you introduce me to. Discogs loves me.
	8:45am TDK60: Buddha still here? Can you contact me via my "profile" page?
	8:46am dale: this sounds like roger miller.
	8:46am YETI BOB: hi Jeff and everyone, I've been sitting with my cat in my lap listening this morning, thanks for the nice calm vibes
	8:47am jeremyo: @Chris Shrunken Planet = Expensive Habit
	8:47am Jeffrey Davison: @Chris: Ha! Glad to be of service... @dale: he reminded me of someone else but can't recall now who that was, but Roger Miller for sure. Good one... Good morning YETI BOB! @jeremyo: Ha!
	8:48am YETI BOB: I've been buying a lot more records since COVID. But I'm not spending money going out to shows, so I think it kind of balances out
	8:48am melinda: such a great song
	8:48am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Buck Fiden! Hear ya...what a voice. @YETI BOB: good pernt.
	8:48am Buddha of Suburbia: TDK60, sure! I'll do that. Hi Yeti Bob!
	8:49am YETI BOB: good morning Buddha!
	8:49am Jeffrey Davison: @melinda: agreed...you can't write one much better than this one.
	8:50am melinda: For a long time I was not familiar with kristofferson's music, just his acting
	8:50am Corey: Good morning Jeffrey and listeners! Busy getting the pancakes going, but enjoying the selections!
	8:50am Deborah: Kristofferson just announced his retirement at age 84. Wow.
	8:51am TDK60: I keep on harping on this; Kris K.'s first song on his first LP is: "Blame It On The Stones." Don't know why it's not more played.
	8:52am Jeffrey Davison: Good morning Corey, and thanks! @Deborah: Kris no slouch...84! @TDK60: gonna check again...thanks!
	8:52am Coygal: Good morning! These tunes always set a positive pace for my Saturday. I hope all of you have a good day. Thanks, Jeffrey.
	8:52am YETI BOB: I think my Dad had only 2 cassettes in his car - back in the early/mid 70s - one was "The Silver-Haired Devil and I" by Kris Kris, and the other was "Sweet Revenge" by John Prine. I know all the songs on those 2 albums backwards and forwards.
	8:53am Chris: That Fotheringay album has alluded me for awhile now.
	8:53am 12539: Thank! You! Mr Davison! And also Ruth, it goes without saying, so it's not said often enough.
	8:53am YETI BOB: It really brings me back to hear Krisofferson (even though that's from a different album)
	8:54am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks Coygal! @YETI BOB: those are two good ones! Chris: ya gotta get that one. Reissues not so much $
	8:54am Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for another great show Jeffrey!
	8:55am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks 12539! Thanks Andrew!
	8:55am TDK60: Gracias Jeffrey. Till again...
	8:55am jeremyo: Lovely show again Jeffrey, glad to catch it in real time for a change.
	8:56am TheoC in Sharon CT: Oh I miss Pete’s
	8:56am Nulsh: Thanks fer' the show Jeffrey! Cheers Ruth! Bye amigos!
	8:56am Sem: Grateful for this show, and all who sail on it. Later, all.
	8:56am Chris: Eluded me, not alluded. Jesus, wake up.
	8:56am Ted in Montclair: We are fortified against the gathering darkness for 7 more days. That Kristofferson was a revelation. Thanks and see you next week.
	8:57am Deborah: This show further enhanced my procrastination, in a good way. Time to do this day.
	8:57am YETI BOB: @Chris: Do you ever do Discogs? www.discogs.com...
	8:57am Ruth Booth: Stay warm, all!
	8:57am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks TDK60, Sem and Nulsh! @TheoC: oh yeah, I miss Pete's something awful. Thanks Ted, Deborah and Ruth!

	9:00am Jeffrey Davison: Thanks HyperDose, Buddha! @Buck: cool...
