	12:28pm doctorjazz: Hi, Irene and Drummers!!
	12:29pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Hi Irenjl and Sean
	🥁 12:32pm Sean in Bristol UK: If memory serves me, The Staple Singers featured in ‘Summer of Soul’? Hoping this fine documentary gets some recognition during the award season.
	12:32pm Annabella LL Van Clute: Lovely ussjjc
	🥁 12:32pm David (in London): Perhaps Paul Simon might consider using his large bank account to repay Carthy finally those chords that he scribbled on a piece of paper all those years ago...
	12:33pm Irene Trudel: Here's a link to the article about Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson, needing financial help: www.theguardian.com...
	12:35pm Irene Trudel: Hi doctorjazz and Annabella! Sean, yes, there's a beautiful song in Summer of Soul featuring a duet with Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples, one of my favorite moments in the doc.
	12:43pm Irene Trudel: Thanks annie! Maybe someday when I feel safe traveling again...
	12:54pm annie: there was a great pub, Mcguerty's(sp); fabulous menu, lots of live music..... sadly, lost to the ages..
	12:56pm alanr: From interviews with Questlove about the film, he recounted that Mavis Staples was asked at the last minute to sing with Ms. Jackson, who was a bit under the weather that day.
	12:57pm chresti: Morning Irene, just started raining outside in San Gabriel, ca
	12:58pm Doug Schulkind: Hoo-hah!
	12:59pm doctorjazz: The Jackson/Staples part of the film was great, as was the rest of the film. Extra points to the film for being the first movie I attended at a Movie Theater since the pandemic began (sadly, looks like it might be a while until I get to others).
	12:59pm Irene Trudel: HeyYa, chresti and Doug!
	12:59pm Irene Trudel: Us too, doctorjazz!
	1:07pm Peter K.: Love those old traditional thingies!
	1:08pm doctorjazz: I went to the 1st Yo La Tengo Chanukah show, standing concert-I'm also getting too old (and have too bad a back) to do standing concerts at this point.
	1:11pm Franco Twinkie: I'm with you Irene and Doc, I hate standing on concrete. Couple that with shows that start after 10PM and you can call it torture, not fun.
	1:14pm Webhamster Henry: We had shows last year - everyone brings lawn chairs to sit in the mine. We're planning this season, crossing our fingers regarding the pandemic. www.centuryhouse.org...
	1:14pm chresti: Luckily the shows we go too these days (if there are any) start earlier because the performers don't want to be up late either.
	🥁 1:15pm Sean in Bristol UK: I so agree, have to have somewhere to place my posterior, went to see Orbital at the O2 Academy in Bristol, awesome gig but my back reminded me ‘your are no Spring Chicken’
	🥁 1:15pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene. This Jerry Vessel song is wonderful!
	1:17pm Irene Trudel: I'm totally in agreement with you, Franco Twinkie! WHenry, I like your idea of lawn chairs.
	🥁 1:18pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S As a gentleman of only moderate height, even when young I sometimes finished a concert with 'gig back', that ache in the small of the back which comes from several hours of standing and trying to be as tall as possible in order to see past the giant people in front of you.
	1:18pm Irene Trudel: Hey glad you like that tune, Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Vessel's album was just sent to me, and I'll be airing more.
	1:20pm doctorjazz: Harry-will there be auditions for the shows (asking for my Musical Theater actor daughter, for whom audition opportunities have dried up, as they have for almost all actors).
	1:21pm Irene Trudel: David, as someone who's of shorter stature, I'm constantly frustrated at standing shows where the tallest guys plant themselves right in front of me, completely oblivious.
	1:24pm Stanley: Hi Irene and Tru-listeners. David - 'gig back'! I know exactly what you mean. Doesn't help having one leg an inch shorter than the other. I take rests, shut my eyes and groove with the sound.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: At that Yo La Tengo show I attended, I went upstairs at the venue, found a bannister to lean on, and looked sad (but had some support) for the show. Don't think I would have done well in the middle of the crowd.
	1:26pm David in London: Hey Stanley.
	1:27pm davefromtoronto: i was always "the tallest guy" at concerts and had the opposite problem - i would slouch and try and get as low as possible cause i felt so bad about blocking views behind me. different kind of "gig back"
	🥁 1:27pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Lovely set(s) today, Irene! Trying to hear the Coltrane in the Prema, and Gospel Trane tracks, don't hear specific references, must just be a mood/vibe they're going for.
	1:33pm headcleaner: Morning, Irene - perfect spot to tune in on
	1:37pm Irene Trudel: Hey Stanley, dave and headcleaner!
	1:51pm Irene Trudel: Here's a link to the Winter Jazzfest schedulew of virtual shows: www.winterjazzfest.com...
	1:55pm chresti: I have "gig back", moving around helps. It's standing in one place for extended periods that is hard.
	1:57pm chresti: Hi David in Londonkins.
	2:01pm doctorjazz: Thanks for that link, Irene. I don't love on line concerts generally, but times being what they are, it's a good way to catch some fine performances.
	2:01pm Stanley: I have a tried and tested way of getting a good view at the cinema. I'd wait until about, say, two thirds have gone in then I sit directly behind a small person. We're lucky here, in Edinburgh, to have lots of Chinese students who do me the honour. My partner thinks me looking out for a Chinese student at the cinema is in some way racist. I tell her it's sizeism.
	2:03pm TDK60: Hi Irene. The subject is getting a good view at a concert?
	🥁 2:04pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Stanley, I head up your way to umpire a a softball tournament usually the last weekend of autumn, first port of call is the Cineworld complex to catch a movie
	🥁 2:04pm Michael 98145: Abbey L !
	2:05pm chresti: Stanley, if I go to the cinema to see a film that has violence, I sit behind the tallest person I find.
	2:07pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everyone!
	2:07pm Stanley: Sean - hit me up and you can sit behind me, chresti - many years ago I went to the San Sebastian Horror Film Festival. One of the films had a buzzer warning ahead of the particularly gory bits.
	2:09pm TDK60: Sean in Bristol. The English play softball? Who knew? Not this American.
	2:11pm Irene Trudel: Greetings TDK60, Michael and Jan! We got ton the blocked view tangent after I mentioned having to think twice about seeing Sylvan Estrada at Music Hall of Williamsburg (a standing venue).
	🥁 2:12pm Bas NL: Hi Irene & fellow Mondayeers!
	🥁 2:12pm Sean in Bristol UK: @TDK60, really popular here, benn playing and umpiring 30 years, if you play and your team needs a pitcher give me a shout
	🥁 2:15pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hi Bas, heading to your wonderful country in April, would be nice to meet up
	2:18pm TDK60: About 5 years ago I saw PJ Harvey at the Terminal 5 club. Massive NYC place. Couldn't see, I went up to the surrounding 2nd level. Filled up; finally found a spot to squeeze in for a view by the rail. Turned around, saw a couple standing behind me, looking forlorn. An idea popped in my head (rare). I approached them, told them I had a spot with a view. We could take turns standing in it to see. They loved it. It worked. The fellow was was Brit, the woman, Aussie. Fun idea; we shared the view.
	2:18pm Doug Schulkind: Back in from shoveling. What'd I miss?!?!
	2:20pm ?: Isn't the name of this album Playing? The eponymous Old and New Dreams doesn't include "New Dream."
	2:20pm David in London: Chrestikins! TDK! Bas!
	🥁 2:22pm Michael 98145: great story @TDK60
	2:22pm duke: @? The album Playing has New dream
	2:23pm Stanley: TDK - you are a true gentleman
	2:23pm ?: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1356164-Old-And-New-Dreams Discogs could be wrong about the Playing record.
	🥁 2:25pm Bas NL: Hi David! Hey that's great Sean! Do give a shout when you are over here; would be great to meet you!
	2:25pm duke: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 2:26pm Michael 98145: packed shows are only a memory
	2:33pm Irene Trudel: Okay, so I got the ensemble's name wrong. It's Old and New Dreams NOT Playing. I claim ignorance because I literally just pulled it out of Peter's record wall yesterday.
	2:35pm TDK60: I see Odetta, Josh White, etc. above in the first set. Archives later definitely. MLK Day. (I heard him speak once.)
	2:35pm Irene Trudel: Oh, and hello duke and Bas!
	🥁 2:43pm Brian in UK: Who'd a thought that Robin Williamson would record for ECM. What-ho Stanley.
	🥁 2:45pm Brian in UK: The older I get the closer to the front I get (if it is a standing gig) Hey Daddy, what's a gig?
	2:48pm Irene Trudel: Well, ECM does allow a certain freedom of expression that's great for their artists.
	2:50pm TDK60: Brian, I have two other albums of RW's on ECM: "The Iron Stone" ('06) and "Trusting in the Rising Light" ('14). Both good. On "Light" he tries a sort of jazzy folk. The Celtic psych-folk sound still there too.
	2:51pm Irene Trudel: Thanks to you all for listening to my self-indulgences in playback today. I'll do it all over again next Monday at noon. Do stay on the stream for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next! wfmu.org...
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for keeping me warm, Irene!
	2:55pm listener 126464: Thank you Irene!
	2:56pm TDK60: Gracias, Irene.
	🥁 2:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Irene!
	2:57pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Thank you Irene,
	2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks Irene! Up in moments, the sound collage is very live, happening right now, already, and happening soon, right now, here, come take a chance, it will be fun (it's a good risk today, really!): wfmu.org...
	2:58pm duke: Thank you Irene
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Irene!
	2:59pm David in London: Thanks Irene, terrific show today.
	2:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene, great show!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks Irene!
	🥁 3:00pm chris in the redwoods: have been listening to the show. was a wonderful accompaniment start to my work week. thanks, Irene!
	3:01pm Jan Turkenburg: Thanks Irene!

	2:01pm Stanley: I have a tried and tested way of getting a good view at the cinema. I'd wait until about, say, two thirds have gone in then I sit directly behind a small person. We're lucky here, in Edinburgh, to have lots of Chinese students who do me the honour. My partner thinks me looking out for a Chinese student at the cinema is in some way racist. I tell her it's sizeism.
	2:03pm TDK60: Hi Irene. The subject is getting a good view at a concert?
	🥁 2:04pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Stanley, I head up your way to umpire a a softball tournament usually the last weekend of autumn, first port of call is the Cineworld complex to catch a movie
	🥁 2:04pm Michael 98145: Abbey L !
	2:05pm chresti: Stanley, if I go to the cinema to see a film that has violence, I sit behind the tallest person I find.
	2:07pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everyone!
	2:07pm Stanley: Sean - hit me up and you can sit behind me, chresti - many years ago I went to the San Sebastian Horror Film Festival. One of the films had a buzzer warning ahead of the particularly gory bits.
	2:09pm TDK60: Sean in Bristol. The English play softball? Who knew? Not this American.
	2:11pm Irene Trudel: Greetings TDK60, Michael and Jan! We got ton the blocked view tangent after I mentioned having to think twice about seeing Sylvan Estrada at Music Hall of Williamsburg (a standing venue).
	🥁 2:12pm Bas NL: Hi Irene & fellow Mondayeers!
	🥁 2:12pm Sean in Bristol UK: @TDK60, really popular here, benn playing and umpiring 30 years, if you play and your team needs a pitcher give me a shout
	🥁 2:15pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hi Bas, heading to your wonderful country in April, would be nice to meet up
	2:18pm TDK60: About 5 years ago I saw PJ Harvey at the Terminal 5 club. Massive NYC place. Couldn't see, I went up to the surrounding 2nd level. Filled up; finally found a spot to squeeze in for a view by the rail. Turned around, saw a couple standing behind me, looking forlorn. An idea popped in my head (rare). I approached them, told them I had a spot with a view. We could take turns standing in it to see. They loved it. It worked. The fellow was was Brit, the woman, Aussie. Fun idea; we shared the view.
	2:18pm Doug Schulkind: Back in from shoveling. What'd I miss?!?!
	2:20pm ?: Isn't the name of this album Playing? The eponymous Old and New Dreams doesn't include "New Dream."
	2:20pm David in London: Chrestikins! TDK! Bas!
	🥁 2:22pm Michael 98145: great story @TDK60
	2:22pm duke: @? The album Playing has New dream
	2:23pm Stanley: TDK - you are a true gentleman
	2:23pm ?: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1356164-Old-And-New-Dreams Discogs could be wrong about the Playing record.
	🥁 2:25pm Bas NL: Hi David! Hey that's great Sean! Do give a shout when you are over here; would be great to meet you!
	2:25pm duke: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 2:26pm Michael 98145: packed shows are only a memory
	2:33pm Irene Trudel: Okay, so I got the ensemble's name wrong. It's Old and New Dreams NOT Playing. I claim ignorance because I literally just pulled it out of Peter's record wall yesterday.
	2:35pm TDK60: I see Odetta, Josh White, etc. above in the first set. Archives later definitely. MLK Day. (I heard him speak once.)
	2:35pm Irene Trudel: Oh, and hello duke and Bas!
	🥁 2:43pm Brian in UK: Who'd a thought that Robin Williamson would record for ECM. What-ho Stanley.
	🥁 2:45pm Brian in UK: The older I get the closer to the front I get (if it is a standing gig) Hey Daddy, what's a gig?
	2:48pm Irene Trudel: Well, ECM does allow a certain freedom of expression that's great for their artists.
	2:50pm TDK60: Brian, I have two other albums of RW's on ECM: "The Iron Stone" ('06) and "Trusting in the Rising Light" ('14). Both good. On "Light" he tries a sort of jazzy folk. The Celtic psych-folk sound still there too.
	2:51pm Irene Trudel: Thanks to you all for listening to my self-indulgences in playback today. I'll do it all over again next Monday at noon. Do stay on the stream for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next! wfmu.org...
