Listener comments!
	11:42am Stork: And awaaayy we go!! Great gobs of greetings, Clubbies!!
	11:46am Stork: Lest I forget: check out this brief but nifty interview with James Newton: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 11:58am listener james from westwood: Jumping from one train to another! Hey hey, Stork and all!
	12:00pm DJpeterDE: Newton with Chet Baker, thanks for turning us on to that! Nutty!
	12:02pm Stork: listener james from westwood - salami, i like 'em!
	🥁 12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beauty Continues.
	12:03pm chresti: Hi Stork and gathering swells!
	12:03pm Stork: DJpeter - I found that hard to believe, but they did that one session in '82. Stay tuned for that!
	12:04pm Stork: I say, Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - come and sit!
	12:06pm Stork: Dear chresti! Imbibe the vibe!
	12:08pm rw: Hi
	12:09pm Stork: R-Dub! Welcome!
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: Axum is such a great sounding record. Wonder why Newton never did another with ECM.
	12:10pm abbazabba: Hello Stork and fellow otter people!
	12:12pm Listener Robert: Pictures would be fun.
	12:13pm Doug Schulkind: Stork once cycled from Münster to meet me in Amsterdam. That's further than Düsseldorf.
	12:13pm TDK60: How-do Stork! Just a hello, before heading out to May Day rallies.
	12:13pm abbazabba: That’s hilarious
	🥁 12:14pm listener james from westwood: This sounds like someone Werner Herzog would document!
	12:14pm chresti: Wow, sounds like he'd be at home in the California desert
	12:17pm adamdoesit: Hello Stork and swells! I'm double-streaming this along with a Zoom talk on psychoanalysis and psychotic states by an eminent clinician and very lovely guy. So, that's not a flute but a very long straw extending from one side of my mouth to the industrial-sized cocktail that Herr Barkeep has kindly placed at my elbow.
	12:17pm Stork: Here's a link to a local paper with a story and a video, along with a picture. All in German, but you can sorta get the idea: www.wn.de...
	🥁 12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dig the Pink - but not a lot of Contrast against the Grey fwiw.
	12:18pm Stork: I mean, this is nuts - he's RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!! Been there for 4 and a half days now!
	12:18pm Sem: Hello, your Royal Storkness, those who delight in all manifestations of the flutists' art, and a pox on those who insist that flutists just blow.
	12:19pm Stork: Thanks, RevRabb - I was wondering if it worked - guess not - will adjust.
	12:19pm rw: Münster looks nice!
	12:20pm rw: And the police seem very friendly.
	🥁 12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so ...when we say garbage in his yard ...presumably what this is about ...are we talking Art Installation ...or just garbage...
	12:21pm rw: And that's a LONG bike ride to Amsterdam!!
	🥁 12:22pm WR: Tried to search and closest to your story I'm finding is a band called White Crane in Münster.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: I was staring at 'Amsterdam', and I started to wonder if anyone ever windmilled while playing flute...
	12:23pm Stork: Doug is exaggerating wildly. I took the train to Amsterdam from Münster - a 3 hour journey - then rented a bike.
	12:24pm Stork: StringOFperils: maybe Ian Anderson tried it.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: @Stork Seriously? I had no idea. All this time I thought you had calves of steel.
	12:25pm Jeff Golick: Lizzo can play the flute and do the shoot at the same time.
	12:25pm Stork: I can't find a thing about this outside the German press, WR.
	12:26pm Stork: I WOULD ride to hell and back for you, Dougie. But Deutsche Bahn was running a special.
	12:28pm Stork: The latter, RevRabb - this guy is seriously disturbed. Just screams at peopel. He did walk out along the crane boom a few times when he got bored. Pretty amazing - will look for vids.
	12:29pm Doug Schulkind: In a manner of moments Stork has gone from being a devoted chum who would cycle 225km just to meet me for lunch, to a slacker only willing to make the journey on a discounted train ticket. What an actually small man he apparently is.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Really good bike highways around Amsterdam for anyone wanting to try it. :)
	12:30pm adamdoesit: Crane guy doing a good job of crossing the clinical and musical streams for me here.
	🥁 12:31pm WR: Searching for Mann im Kran and there it is. www1.wdr.de...
	12:32pm StringOFperils: Guess you can turn that room in your house devoted to Stork back into your den now, Doug.
	🥁 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Distressing actually. ...While he has his shouting vigil - I shall have 'Ginger Baker in Africa' for silent visuals, via PlutoTV...
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: @WR The article's lede begins with, "Ein psychisch kranker..."
	12:35pm Stork: Here's a video of him walking the boom. www1.wdr.de...
	12:36pm Stork: WR - you beat me to it! Same link-
	12:37pm StringOFperils: Oh man, that's krank
	12:38pm adamdoesit: "I remember him saying about this that the psychotic part of the personality pushed the non-psychotic part of the personality out the window." Apt.
	12:39pm Stork: adamdoesit! Missed your entrance!
	🥁 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but on a really good day not off the boom... So wish I knew Deutsche. Well, every other language. For being so related to Anglaise, it seems so different.
	12:39pm Stork: What an amazing tone, James Newton!
	12:40pm adamdoesit: Stork, usually I enter on my feet and leave on the floor, but today I thought I'd mix things up.
	🥁 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like he's playing Flute & everybody else I've ever heard is actually on pennywhistle...
	12:42pm Stork: This harp piece by Allison Bjorkedal is the flute-less - this whole work was composed by J Newton.
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, we have so many similar words that once you learn a few you can figure out others. Every time I read something in German I learn a little of it. So now I know, for instance, Baukran must be "build-crane" in the sense of "crane for building". So now I'm trying to figure out the "stellen" part of Baustellenkran.
	🥁 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cognates, sure. I love the sound of it.
	12:45pm Stork: Baustellenkran is a little bit redundant. It just means a construction site crane. It's a crane.
	12:46pm Stork: Stellen has many meanings, but place or site in this case.
	12:46pm adamdoesit: slightly paraphrased from Gaetano Benedetti: 'the alienated Self, no longer having an unconscious image of its own identity, looks about in the surrounding world not only for a symbol but a substitute for an absence … without this hallucinatory substitute, the patient could not perceive himself … hence his resistance to abandoning it.'
	🥁 12:47pm WR: I just realized, now we pretty much know where Stork lives. Just need the floor and apt #.
	12:50pm Listener Robert: Similarly, I gather "Ein psychisch kranker Man" is "a psychologically sick man". Now I have to figure out "psychisch belastend". The "be-" part is used similarly in some English words to indicate perfect passive participle, i.e. something undergone. "Psychically lost"? Guessing on sound that "lastend" could be related to "lost".
	12:50pm Stork: Just go the Josefskirchplatz and face east, WR - I'll wave to you!
	12:51pm fred: All the guy needs is a round of the old Glen Passaic! Speaking of which, adamdoesit's straw seems to have melted. Barkeep, refill his glass, and fill mine
	12:52pm chresti: If that guy's throwing stuff at the cops he'd be a dead man in LA.
	12:52pm Stork: Robert - belastend means afflicted in this case.
	12:52pm adamdoesit: Speaking of hallucinatory substitutes… Barkeep! I'll have a psychotic episode* on the rocks… and one for fred, too! * psychotic episode: 2oz Glen Passaic, 1/2oz Kohutian bitters, 1/2oz absinthe, shaken over ice and strained severely.
	🥁 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Ginger Baker in Africa' is over - looked real kewl. Now I have a doc on photog Mick Rick to look @... The idea that German is the language of the Concept - so we have these great long words for involved & specific Ideas...
	🥁 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: chresti right ? Suicide by Cops.
	12:54pm chresti: Sounds good adamdoesit!
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Love this African Flower album (been driving to White Plains, listening to vocal warm ups all the way). Will catch a bit, rest tomorrow at work. Save me a schnapps!
	12:55pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Stork. I'm guessing (no fun looking these things up) that "last" in German is some transitive verb root. Maybe it's related to English "last" in the sense of "remaining from".
	🥁 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Omg this Ensemble.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: So you're "belastend" as in having had that done to you, and this is how you've been left at the end.
	12:58pm Stork: Robert - the verb "lasten" means to burden. he "be" prefix is participial - meaning "to be" - it's complicated, until it's easy.
	1:00pm chresti: Maybe garbage man going postal needs a tranquilizer dart?
	1:00pm Stork: Newton caught Baker on a good day in 1982. He was pretty inconsistent by then, but this whole record is wonderful. he album cover is about 40 years out of date, but hey...
	1:02pm Stork: Y'know chresti, I was telling Elena that if this was America, a sharpshooter would have taken him out by now. The compassion shown by the cops here is something in sadly short supply Over There.
	1:02pm StringOFperils: chresti, he needs banger management.
	1:02pm Sem: Chet, we hardly knew ye. That's psychotic episode sound good. I'll have one, w/ rtsina back/.
	1:04pm fred: @doc: I told Lea Bertucci about your daughter's vid from long ago and how that made me buy those records. She laughed
	1:05pm chresti: I imagine Germany has good mental health care, unlike US?
	1:05pm Listener Robert: Looks like by Wiktionary for English I was partly right, but only for Etymology 2, "last" in the sense of the obsolete meaning "perform" and the current meanings "endure". So we could construct an "Anglish" word, "belasted" (on the "be-" model of bejeweled, becalmed, beclowned) to mean "left this way from having endured". Which is about synonymous to the German word in question then.
	1:06pm adamdoesit: chresti, from what I've heard from German colleagues, it's a lot more enlightened than the situation here.
	1:06pm Stork: That goes for health care in general, chresti. No comparison.
	1:07pm Stork: This David Murray record is just amazing!
	🥁 1:07pm WR: That Chet Baker selection was pretty nice.
	1:08pm Listener Robert: Anglish is a hobby-language made by stripping English of words not of Germanic origin, and substituting where necessary coinages of Germanic English origin.
	1:10pm fred: Someone should tell Matt Warwick about that garbage man cautionary tale
	1:12pm chresti: Stork@1:02, right, police training here is like guard dog training. In LA, there's been a meager attempt to train police to deal with homeless/crazies more humanely,.
	🥁 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Listener Robert - was talking on some chatboard or other in recent weeks about Tolkien being sort of motivated by exactly that.
	🥁 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only tool Hammer - everything a Nail.
	🥁 1:14pm Michael 98145: I think that is a problem all over the country, @chresti. Far too much militarization.
	1:15pm Listener Robert: Yes, Tolkein is frequently given as inspiration for those who dabble in Anglish now.
	🥁 1:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The USA is just a few more Guns shy of that perfect Safety we all crave ...yerknow ...I can feel it - deep inside.
	1:17pm chresti: Yay Bryceeeee!
	🥁 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GarbageMan has some sense of Image - yerknow... It's pretty effective Performance...
	1:17pm Listener Robert: Anyway, Wiktionary doesn't take the German etymology far enough back, but it would be an astounding coincidence if German "lasten" (to bear on) and English "last" were not related.
	1:19pm Stork: @Robert: some call it "Denglisch" - I speak a lot of it, mostly unintentionally
	1:20pm Stork: Sem - welcome, friend!
	1:20pm fred: @RevRab: We all know more guns is the solution, even if the problem is guns. That's dumb, the solution is actually more Glen Passaic. Barkeep, one more for my rabbit friend here!
	1:20pm adamdoesit: Rev, right! cos the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is another good guy with two guns, just like the only way to stop the ill effects of a Glen Passaic is with more Glen Passaic.
	1:21pm rw: You think that guy on the crane listens to The Stork Club?
	🥁 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Trio tho.
	1:22pm adamdoesit: fred, I think the Glen Passaic has succeeded in dissolving the imaginary wall between our psyches. We have achieved overlap. Salud!
	1:22pm Stork: RevRabb - right!? Just love this album!
	🥁 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course we know not the 1st thing about him. Why the garbage?
	1:24pm Stork: rw - I hope he doesn't have contact to the news - it's quite clear from reports from the police that this guy is probably going to be institutionalized for a long long time.
	1:24pm fred: @adamdoesit: Glen Passaic is good at dissolving stuff
	1:25pm chresti: rw, that's brilliant! Play the Stork Club on loud speakers within earshot of the crane man!
	1:25pm Stork: Gotta scurry onto my HazMat suit - the calls are getting louder for Glen Passaic Reserve XO
	1:26pm rw: chresti, I, know I'D appreciate it.
	1:28pm StringOFperils: Hearing the pacifying murmurs from the Stork Club, that 'nut' will realize he's sane, and then he'll come down to find everyone on the street is meshugga
	🥁 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like JulianCope talking about dancing & goofing @ environmental protests when the cops show up ...throw a little 'astral glamour' on a hot situation...
	1:30pm adamdoesit: * Good Guy with a Gun: stir together 2oz Glen Passaic and 1/2oz black powder with a lead spoon, pour into a shotglass, drop into a pint of Coors Light, and percuss.
	1:30pm chresti: rw, of course it might backfire if the guy hates flute..
	🥁 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JulianCope: ...' keep that line serpentine '...
	1:32pm alanr: such great music today, thank you for excellent curating.... I'm sorry. Repeating the obvious!
	🥁 1:33pm Michael 98145: Lurking. Enjoying.
	1:34pm StringOFperils: Maybe the crane is the only place where no one will get in the way of Wordle. "Ahhh, privacy at last!"
	1:34pm Stork: I just checked again - he sits there with his right leg crossed over his left most of the time. You can see his right foot dangling. He almost never moves at all. Except to go boom-walking. He must be getting hungry or dehydrated - the cops are really worried that he'll fall when he finally decides to come down.
	1:36pm Stork: SoP - you know, I usually play the German Wordle and skip the English. The German version is actually easier. So much less idiosyncracy n German spelling - but they use more obscure words than the English version, so it's kinda challenging.
	1:37pm Stork: Michael 98145: - ahoy, Kumpel!
	1:37pm Stork: Thank you, alanr!
	🥁 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He has food, but what about toilet paper?...
	1:44pm Stork: Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - we don't speak of this.
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Good on you. ...Well, hopefully not on you...
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...He could become a FolkSong for Centuries...
	1:48pm Stork: The Ballad of the Crane-Occupying Hoarder - go t a ring to it!!
	1:50pm fred: But what about that Glen Passaic Reserve XO? You said you were suiting up for it, adamdoesit didn't but we're waiting for it. RevRab's in the round too
	🥁 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...t'were on the First of May...
	1:52pm Stork: Sorry, fred. I've been remiss. All this talk about pooping in the crane cabin should have jogged my memory. Coming right up! Which is what you'll say after a couple rounds of the stuff.
	1:53pm adamdoesit: …a fateful day, when the Glen Passaic did flow A man who was sane went out on a crane With a hoard of garbage to go And did he ever come down, no he never came down It's the cause of his renown He will swing forever o'er the flats of Münster He's the man who never came down
	1:53pm Stork: Horace Tapscott on the ivories!!
	1:57pm adamdoesit: Strong case being made for the use of "a little meshugge" over "mentally ill" as a non-pathologizing descriptor of someone experiencing a psychotic episode.
	1:57pm Stork: You better get that copyrighted toot de sweet, adam! That Glen Passaic really gets the creative juices flowing. And the internal organs hemmorhaging.
	🥁 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: adamdidit
	2:03pm Stork: Love the name of the venue (Woman): The Smudge Pot
	2:04pm Stork: I claim DJ Smudge Pot, no backsies.
	2:10pm fred: I should google "glen passaic" from work someday, I wonder what will come up (from home it's just this show)
	🥁 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal.' - Groucho Marx
	2:23pm chresti: Maybe he had the foresight of bringing a bucket, though I wouldn't want to be around when he decided to empty it!
	2:27pm adamdoesit: Man, I'd forgotten about Nerd Trump's twitter takeover. Hey, buddy, got some room on that crane for me?
	🥁 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot the film 'Copyright Criminals' about Sampling Law rather good ...wonder if I can find it again online & - yerknow ...not pay anything...
	2:33pm fred: Did the guy bring a flute, or some instrument up there?
	2:37pm Stork: That would be great, fred. Maybe he brought a folding balalaika with him. I would.
	2:41pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, we've probably brought up on SOME comment thread Craig Baldwin's film "Sonic Outlaws", right?
	🥁 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dunno LR. But noted.
	2:43pm fred: A former friend used to climb cranes when drunk. Never fell, though he did once from the third floor into a shop, unscathed. I wrote "former" because he went populist left, hates foreigners, and we're no longer on speaking terms because of that (I lost most of my childhood friends this way)
	2:44pm Stork: Great waterphone solo there by Luis Peralta, was it not?
	2:47pm chresti: If he had a couple of sticks, he could play the crane.
	2:48pm adamdoesit: Folding Balalaika: 2oz Glen Passaic, 2oz Stolichnaya 100-proof, 1 cup hot, strong black tea, 2tsp sugar, 1tsp blackberry jam. Stir ingredients together til fully dissolved. Serve piping hot, in a teacup wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a napkin.
	2:49pm Stork: What paltry little I know about the recent election in France is that the choice was between a populist right and a populist left that shared many of the same racist dispositions. That comports with what you've been saying recently. Some people are saying that "Marine" - gag me - has in a sense won. And she's getting closer and closer ....
	2:52pm StringOFperils: Maybe he's waiting to go south with the cranes.
	2:53pm Stork: @adamdoesit - 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
	2:55pm fred: Not really: Macron is definitely not populist. But the left is distressing, I want to have a counter-power to the right, but xenophobia is a non-starter. I'm stuck
	2:55pm Stork: D.D: Jackson - piano - noice
	🥁 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also - France coming up to Parliamentary MidTerm Elections ? As is the USA for Congress... That is, it's always Election Season anymore...
	3:01pm fred: @RevRab: Yep, in June. A schedule change made by a guy who thought that would consolidate his power and didn't make it to the runoff round. Another of his bright plans was hiring the far right security goons as a special police unit, as if the cops weren't racist enough. And that's our "left"
	🥁 3:02pm WR: Dang, has it really been 44 years since Lennox Ave Breakdown by ARTHUR BLYTHE came out?
	3:04pm Stork: Yeah, WR - coulda been today.
	3:12pm fred: There is a strong hate of foreigners in France. I had that too, but then I met people (and found the station) and that changed my mind (at the cost of my then friends). France sucks
	🥁 3:15pm Michael 98145: @RRN73, "something" needs to be done to shorten our election -season- ... travel around the country and the loathsome political commercials will break your head.
	3:18pm StringOFperils: Whyyy, it's the old 'wear them down 'til they stop paying close attention', Chief! "It's C.H.A.O.S. , Max."
	3:30pm fred: I only vaguely know who my representative is (a longtime rightwinger who at least isn't as far-right as the previous one). I'm in a right-wing district, so I'll vote left to no account in the first round, and again for the lesser evil in the runoff.
	3:36pm Stork: StringOFperils: - I demand the cone of silence!
	3:37pm Sem: That's my favourite flavour.
	3:39pm abbazabba: Wow, this one is giving the goosebumps
	3:40pm fred: Any crane guy update?
	3:41pm adamdoesit: I like this David Garland thing… and it's (no surprise here) new to me. Heading out to meet the wife for a squint at the afternoon sun. Thank you, Storks, cranes, and other meshuggeneh avian types. Barkeep, another Glen Passaic for fred here! No, better make it three: put one to his left, one to his right, and one ("the centerist") directly in front of him.
	3:42pm Jeff Moore: I do love so much of David Garland's work. Available on Bandcamp: davidgarland.bandcamp.com...
	3:43pm Jeff Moore: ...and can I assume people also know about his long career in the beforetimes hosting "Spinning on Air" on WNYC?
	3:44pm adamdoesit: @Jeff Moore: ohhh! that David Garland!
	3:45pm Jeff Moore: @adamdoesit: That one indeed!
	3:46pm Stork: Thank you, Jeff Moore for sharing David G's Tactility rekkid wid me, so's I could play it for us.
	3:51pm fred: @adamdoesit: Thanks, that should help with my diminishing spatial skills
	3:51pm Jeff Moore: @Stork: Always glad to share with a DJ who might give the artist airplay. (I hope artists are okay with that particular stance)
	3:54pm Jeff Moore: Moar Garland, a post I find absolutely charming: www.instagram.com... (link only useful if you happen to be a willing participant in the above walled garden of surveillance capitalism)
	3:54pm Sem: Storkmeister, there isn't another place in the world where Glen Passiac and a jazz education go together so entertainingly. While that might be the alcohol talking, it might also be the unnamed organic compounds unattributed on the label. No mind, thank you for the pleasure of your company, and Newton's first, second, and third laws of delicious fluting. Ciao, pal.
	3:56pm Stork: Hanks of thanks to all! Another cuddly huddle here at the Club de Birdbrain. Truly a moving experience tonight - So AM looking forward to another and another confab - goodnight to our fellow man, sleeping tonight aloft, above the flats of Münster - may he alight safely and be helped. see ya next week.
	3:56pm chresti: Nice set! Thanks Stork!
	🥁 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Stork ~
	3:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Stork! And thanks for sharing your thoughts/Sunday, everyone.
	🥁 3:57pm listener james from westwood: Mighty mighty thanks, Stork!
	3:59pm Stork: Thank you so verily, SoP, Sem, listener james, chresti, Jeff Moore!, fred, adamdoesit, Michael 98145, and the whole giggly gang!!! a-mwaHHH!!
	🥁 4:03pm Michael 98145: Thank you, sir!
	🥁 4:14pm WR: Thank you Stork. And may the man in the crane find some peace and resolution other than the big sleep that awaits us all.

Listener comments!
	11:42am Stork: And awaaayy we go!! Great gobs of greetings, Clubbies!!
	11:46am Stork: Lest I forget: check out this brief but nifty interview with James Newton: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 11:58am listener james from westwood: Jumping from one train to another! Hey hey, Stork and all!
	12:00pm DJpeterDE: Newton with Chet Baker, thanks for turning us on to that! Nutty!
	12:02pm Stork: listener james from westwood - salami, i like 'em!
	🥁 12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beauty Continues.
	12:03pm chresti: Hi Stork and gathering swells!
	12:03pm Stork: DJpeter - I found that hard to believe, but they did that one session in '82. Stay tuned for that!
	12:04pm Stork: I say, Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - come and sit!
	12:06pm Stork: Dear chresti! Imbibe the vibe!
	12:08pm rw: Hi
	12:09pm Stork: R-Dub! Welcome!
	12:09pm Jeff Golick: Axum is such a great sounding record. Wonder why Newton never did another with ECM.
	12:10pm abbazabba: Hello Stork and fellow otter people!
	12:12pm Listener Robert: Pictures would be fun.
	12:13pm Doug Schulkind: Stork once cycled from Münster to meet me in Amsterdam. That's further than Düsseldorf.
	12:13pm TDK60: How-do Stork! Just a hello, before heading out to May Day rallies.
	12:13pm abbazabba: That’s hilarious
	🥁 12:14pm listener james from westwood: This sounds like someone Werner Herzog would document!
	12:14pm chresti: Wow, sounds like he'd be at home in the California desert
	12:17pm adamdoesit: Hello Stork and swells! I'm double-streaming this along with a Zoom talk on psychoanalysis and psychotic states by an eminent clinician and very lovely guy. So, that's not a flute but a very long straw extending from one side of my mouth to the industrial-sized cocktail that Herr Barkeep has kindly placed at my elbow.
	12:17pm Stork: Here's a link to a local paper with a story and a video, along with a picture. All in German, but you can sorta get the idea: www.wn.de...
	🥁 12:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dig the Pink - but not a lot of Contrast against the Grey fwiw.
	12:18pm Stork: I mean, this is nuts - he's RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!! Been there for 4 and a half days now!
	12:18pm Sem: Hello, your Royal Storkness, those who delight in all manifestations of the flutists' art, and a pox on those who insist that flutists just blow.
	12:19pm Stork: Thanks, RevRabb - I was wondering if it worked - guess not - will adjust.
	12:19pm rw: Münster looks nice!
	12:20pm rw: And the police seem very friendly.
	🥁 12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so ...when we say garbage in his yard ...presumably what this is about ...are we talking Art Installation ...or just garbage...
	12:21pm rw: And that's a LONG bike ride to Amsterdam!!
	🥁 12:22pm WR: Tried to search and closest to your story I'm finding is a band called White Crane in Münster.
	12:23pm StringOFperils: I was staring at 'Amsterdam', and I started to wonder if anyone ever windmilled while playing flute...
	12:23pm Stork: Doug is exaggerating wildly. I took the train to Amsterdam from Münster - a 3 hour journey - then rented a bike.
	12:24pm Stork: StringOFperils: maybe Ian Anderson tried it.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: @Stork Seriously? I had no idea. All this time I thought you had calves of steel.
	12:25pm Jeff Golick: Lizzo can play the flute and do the shoot at the same time.
	12:25pm Stork: I can't find a thing about this outside the German press, WR.
	12:26pm Stork: I WOULD ride to hell and back for you, Dougie. But Deutsche Bahn was running a special.
	12:28pm Stork: The latter, RevRabb - this guy is seriously disturbed. Just screams at peopel. He did walk out along the crane boom a few times when he got bored. Pretty amazing - will look for vids.
	12:29pm Doug Schulkind: In a manner of moments Stork has gone from being a devoted chum who would cycle 225km just to meet me for lunch, to a slacker only willing to make the journey on a discounted train ticket. What an actually small man he apparently is.
	12:29pm StringOFperils: Really good bike highways around Amsterdam for anyone wanting to try it. :)
	12:30pm adamdoesit: Crane guy doing a good job of crossing the clinical and musical streams for me here.
	🥁 12:31pm WR: Searching for Mann im Kran and there it is. www1.wdr.de...
	12:32pm StringOFperils: Guess you can turn that room in your house devoted to Stork back into your den now, Doug.
	🥁 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Distressing actually. ...While he has his shouting vigil - I shall have 'Ginger Baker in Africa' for silent visuals, via PlutoTV...
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: @WR The article's lede begins with, "Ein psychisch kranker..."
	12:35pm Stork: Here's a video of him walking the boom. www1.wdr.de...
	12:36pm Stork: WR - you beat me to it! Same link-
	12:37pm StringOFperils: Oh man, that's krank
	12:38pm adamdoesit: "I remember him saying about this that the psychotic part of the personality pushed the non-psychotic part of the personality out the window." Apt.
	12:39pm Stork: adamdoesit! Missed your entrance!
	🥁 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but on a really good day not off the boom... So wish I knew Deutsche. Well, every other language. For being so related to Anglaise, it seems so different.
	12:39pm Stork: What an amazing tone, James Newton!
	12:40pm adamdoesit: Stork, usually I enter on my feet and leave on the floor, but today I thought I'd mix things up.
	🥁 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's like he's playing Flute & everybody else I've ever heard is actually on pennywhistle...
	12:42pm Stork: This harp piece by Allison Bjorkedal is the flute-less - this whole work was composed by J Newton.
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, we have so many similar words that once you learn a few you can figure out others. Every time I read something in German I learn a little of it. So now I know, for instance, Baukran must be "build-crane" in the sense of "crane for building". So now I'm trying to figure out the "stellen" part of Baustellenkran.
	🥁 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cognates, sure. I love the sound of it.
	12:45pm Stork: Baustellenkran is a little bit redundant. It just means a construction site crane. It's a crane.
	12:46pm Stork: Stellen has many meanings, but place or site in this case.
	12:46pm adamdoesit: slightly paraphrased from Gaetano Benedetti: 'the alienated Self, no longer having an unconscious image of its own identity, looks about in the surrounding world not only for a symbol but a substitute for an absence … without this hallucinatory substitute, the patient could not perceive himself … hence his resistance to abandoning it.'
	🥁 12:47pm WR: I just realized, now we pretty much know where Stork lives. Just need the floor and apt #.
	12:50pm Listener Robert: Similarly, I gather "Ein psychisch kranker Man" is "a psychologically sick man". Now I have to figure out "psychisch belastend". The "be-" part is used similarly in some English words to indicate perfect passive participle, i.e. something undergone. "Psychically lost"? Guessing on sound that "lastend" could be related to "lost".
	12:50pm Stork: Just go the Josefskirchplatz and face east, WR - I'll wave to you!
	12:51pm fred: All the guy needs is a round of the old Glen Passaic! Speaking of which, adamdoesit's straw seems to have melted. Barkeep, refill his glass, and fill mine
	12:52pm chresti: If that guy's throwing stuff at the cops he'd be a dead man in LA.
	12:52pm Stork: Robert - belastend means afflicted in this case.
	12:52pm adamdoesit: Speaking of hallucinatory substitutes… Barkeep! I'll have a psychotic episode* on the rocks… and one for fred, too! * psychotic episode: 2oz Glen Passaic, 1/2oz Kohutian bitters, 1/2oz absinthe, shaken over ice and strained severely.
	🥁 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Ginger Baker in Africa' is over - looked real kewl. Now I have a doc on photog Mick Rick to look @... The idea that German is the language of the Concept - so we have these great long words for involved & specific Ideas...
	🥁 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: chresti right ? Suicide by Cops.
	12:54pm chresti: Sounds good adamdoesit!
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Love this African Flower album (been driving to White Plains, listening to vocal warm ups all the way). Will catch a bit, rest tomorrow at work. Save me a schnapps!
	12:55pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Stork. I'm guessing (no fun looking these things up) that "last" in German is some transitive verb root. Maybe it's related to English "last" in the sense of "remaining from".
	🥁 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Omg this Ensemble.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: So you're "belastend" as in having had that done to you, and this is how you've been left at the end.
	12:58pm Stork: Robert - the verb "lasten" means to burden. he "be" prefix is participial - meaning "to be" - it's complicated, until it's easy.
	1:00pm chresti: Maybe garbage man going postal needs a tranquilizer dart?
	1:00pm Stork: Newton caught Baker on a good day in 1982. He was pretty inconsistent by then, but this whole record is wonderful. he album cover is about 40 years out of date, but hey...
	1:02pm Stork: Y'know chresti, I was telling Elena that if this was America, a sharpshooter would have taken him out by now. The compassion shown by the cops here is something in sadly short supply Over There.
	1:02pm StringOFperils: chresti, he needs banger management.
	1:02pm Sem: Chet, we hardly knew ye. That's psychotic episode sound good. I'll have one, w/ rtsina back/.
	1:04pm fred: @doc: I told Lea Bertucci about your daughter's vid from long ago and how that made me buy those records. She laughed
	1:05pm chresti: I imagine Germany has good mental health care, unlike US?
	1:05pm Listener Robert: Looks like by Wiktionary for English I was partly right, but only for Etymology 2, "last" in the sense of the obsolete meaning "perform" and the current meanings "endure". So we could construct an "Anglish" word, "belasted" (on the "be-" model of bejeweled, becalmed, beclowned) to mean "left this way from having endured". Which is about synonymous to the German word in question then.
	1:06pm adamdoesit: chresti, from what I've heard from German colleagues, it's a lot more enlightened than the situation here.
	1:06pm Stork: That goes for health care in general, chresti. No comparison.
	1:07pm Stork: This David Murray record is just amazing!
	🥁 1:07pm WR: That Chet Baker selection was pretty nice.
	1:08pm Listener Robert: Anglish is a hobby-language made by stripping English of words not of Germanic origin, and substituting where necessary coinages of Germanic English origin.
	1:10pm fred: Someone should tell Matt Warwick about that garbage man cautionary tale
	1:12pm chresti: Stork@1:02, right, police training here is like guard dog training. In LA, there's been a meager attempt to train police to deal with homeless/crazies more humanely,.
	🥁 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Listener Robert - was talking on some chatboard or other in recent weeks about Tolkien being sort of motivated by exactly that.
	🥁 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only tool Hammer - everything a Nail.
	🥁 1:14pm Michael 98145: I think that is a problem all over the country, @chresti. Far too much militarization.
	1:15pm Listener Robert: Yes, Tolkein is frequently given as inspiration for those who dabble in Anglish now.
	🥁 1:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The USA is just a few more Guns shy of that perfect Safety we all crave ...yerknow ...I can feel it - deep inside.
	1:17pm chresti: Yay Bryceeeee!
	🥁 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: GarbageMan has some sense of Image - yerknow... It's pretty effective Performance...
	1:17pm Listener Robert: Anyway, Wiktionary doesn't take the German etymology far enough back, but it would be an astounding coincidence if German "lasten" (to bear on) and English "last" were not related.
	1:19pm Stork: @Robert: some call it "Denglisch" - I speak a lot of it, mostly unintentionally
	1:20pm Stork: Sem - welcome, friend!
	1:20pm fred: @RevRab: We all know more guns is the solution, even if the problem is guns. That's dumb, the solution is actually more Glen Passaic. Barkeep, one more for my rabbit friend here!
	1:20pm adamdoesit: Rev, right! cos the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is another good guy with two guns, just like the only way to stop the ill effects of a Glen Passaic is with more Glen Passaic.
	1:21pm rw: You think that guy on the crane listens to The Stork Club?
	🥁 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Trio tho.
	1:22pm adamdoesit: fred, I think the Glen Passaic has succeeded in dissolving the imaginary wall between our psyches. We have achieved overlap. Salud!
	1:22pm Stork: RevRabb - right!? Just love this album!
	🥁 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course we know not the 1st thing about him. Why the garbage?
	1:24pm Stork: rw - I hope he doesn't have contact to the news - it's quite clear from reports from the police that this guy is probably going to be institutionalized for a long long time.
	1:24pm fred: @adamdoesit: Glen Passaic is good at dissolving stuff
	1:25pm chresti: rw, that's brilliant! Play the Stork Club on loud speakers within earshot of the crane man!
	1:25pm Stork: Gotta scurry onto my HazMat suit - the calls are getting louder for Glen Passaic Reserve XO
	1:26pm rw: chresti, I, know I'D appreciate it.
	1:28pm StringOFperils: Hearing the pacifying murmurs from the Stork Club, that 'nut' will realize he's sane, and then he'll come down to find everyone on the street is meshugga
	🥁 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like JulianCope talking about dancing & goofing @ environmental protests when the cops show up ...throw a little 'astral glamour' on a hot situation...
	1:30pm adamdoesit: * Good Guy with a Gun: stir together 2oz Glen Passaic and 1/2oz black powder with a lead spoon, pour into a shotglass, drop into a pint of Coors Light, and percuss.
	1:30pm chresti: rw, of course it might backfire if the guy hates flute..
	🥁 1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JulianCope: ...' keep that line serpentine '...
	1:32pm alanr: such great music today, thank you for excellent curating.... I'm sorry. Repeating the obvious!
	🥁 1:33pm Michael 98145: Lurking. Enjoying.
	1:34pm StringOFperils: Maybe the crane is the only place where no one will get in the way of Wordle. "Ahhh, privacy at last!"
	1:34pm Stork: I just checked again - he sits there with his right leg crossed over his left most of the time. You can see his right foot dangling. He almost never moves at all. Except to go boom-walking. He must be getting hungry or dehydrated - the cops are really worried that he'll fall when he finally decides to come down.
	1:36pm Stork: SoP - you know, I usually play the German Wordle and skip the English. The German version is actually easier. So much less idiosyncracy n German spelling - but they use more obscure words than the English version, so it's kinda challenging.
	1:37pm Stork: Michael 98145: - ahoy, Kumpel!
	1:37pm Stork: Thank you, alanr!
	🥁 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He has food, but what about toilet paper?...
	1:44pm Stork: Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - we don't speak of this.
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Good on you. ...Well, hopefully not on you...
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...He could become a FolkSong for Centuries...
	1:48pm Stork: The Ballad of the Crane-Occupying Hoarder - go t a ring to it!!
	1:50pm fred: But what about that Glen Passaic Reserve XO? You said you were suiting up for it, adamdoesit didn't but we're waiting for it. RevRab's in the round too
	🥁 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...t'were on the First of May...
	1:52pm Stork: Sorry, fred. I've been remiss. All this talk about pooping in the crane cabin should have jogged my memory. Coming right up! Which is what you'll say after a couple rounds of the stuff.
	1:53pm adamdoesit: …a fateful day, when the Glen Passaic did flow A man who was sane went out on a crane With a hoard of garbage to go And did he ever come down, no he never came down It's the cause of his renown He will swing forever o'er the flats of Münster He's the man who never came down
	1:53pm Stork: Horace Tapscott on the ivories!!
	1:57pm adamdoesit: Strong case being made for the use of "a little meshugge" over "mentally ill" as a non-pathologizing descriptor of someone experiencing a psychotic episode.
	1:57pm Stork: You better get that copyrighted toot de sweet, adam! That Glen Passaic really gets the creative juices flowing. And the internal organs hemmorhaging.
	🥁 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: adamdidit
	2:03pm Stork: Love the name of the venue (Woman): The Smudge Pot
	2:04pm Stork: I claim DJ Smudge Pot, no backsies.
	2:10pm fred: I should google "glen passaic" from work someday, I wonder what will come up (from home it's just this show)
	🥁 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'I'm not crazy about reality, but it's still the only place to get a decent meal.' - Groucho Marx
	2:23pm chresti: Maybe he had the foresight of bringing a bucket, though I wouldn't want to be around when he decided to empty it!
	2:27pm adamdoesit: Man, I'd forgotten about Nerd Trump's twitter takeover. Hey, buddy, got some room on that crane for me?
	🥁 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot the film 'Copyright Criminals' about Sampling Law rather good ...wonder if I can find it again online & - yerknow ...not pay anything...
	2:33pm fred: Did the guy bring a flute, or some instrument up there?
	2:37pm Stork: That would be great, fred. Maybe he brought a folding balalaika with him. I would.
	2:41pm Listener Robert: Rabbit, we've probably brought up on SOME comment thread Craig Baldwin's film "Sonic Outlaws", right?
	🥁 2:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dunno LR. But noted.
	2:43pm fred: A former friend used to climb cranes when drunk. Never fell, though he did once from the third floor into a shop, unscathed. I wrote "former" because he went populist left, hates foreigners, and we're no longer on speaking terms because of that (I lost most of my childhood friends this way)
	2:44pm Stork: Great waterphone solo there by Luis Peralta, was it not?
	2:47pm chresti: If he had a couple of sticks, he could play the crane.
	2:48pm adamdoesit: Folding Balalaika: 2oz Glen Passaic, 2oz Stolichnaya 100-proof, 1 cup hot, strong black tea, 2tsp sugar, 1tsp blackberry jam. Stir ingredients together til fully dissolved. Serve piping hot, in a teacup wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a napkin.
	2:49pm Stork: What paltry little I know about the recent election in France is that the choice was between a populist right and a populist left that shared many of the same racist dispositions. That comports with what you've been saying recently. Some people are saying that "Marine" - gag me - has in a sense won. And she's getting closer and closer ....
	2:52pm StringOFperils: Maybe he's waiting to go south with the cranes.
	2:53pm Stork: @adamdoesit - 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
	2:55pm fred: Not really: Macron is definitely not populist. But the left is distressing, I want to have a counter-power to the right, but xenophobia is a non-starter. I'm stuck
	2:55pm Stork: D.D: Jackson - piano - noice
	🥁 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also - France coming up to Parliamentary MidTerm Elections ? As is the USA for Congress... That is, it's always Election Season anymore...
	3:01pm fred: @RevRab: Yep, in June. A schedule change made by a guy who thought that would consolidate his power and didn't make it to the runoff round. Another of his bright plans was hiring the far right security goons as a special police unit, as if the cops weren't racist enough. And that's our "left"
	🥁 3:02pm WR: Dang, has it really been 44 years since Lennox Ave Breakdown by ARTHUR BLYTHE came out?
	3:04pm Stork: Yeah, WR - coulda been today.
	3:12pm fred: There is a strong hate of foreigners in France. I had that too, but then I met people (and found the station) and that changed my mind (at the cost of my then friends). France sucks
	🥁 3:15pm Michael 98145: @RRN73, "something" needs to be done to shorten our election -season- ... travel around the country and the loathsome political commercials will break your head.
	3:18pm StringOFperils: Whyyy, it's the old 'wear them down 'til they stop paying close attention', Chief! "It's C.H.A.O.S. , Max."
	3:30pm fred: I only vaguely know who my representative is (a longtime rightwinger who at least isn't as far-right as the previous one). I'm in a right-wing district, so I'll vote left to no account in the first round, and again for the lesser evil in the runoff.
	3:36pm Stork: StringOFperils: - I demand the cone of silence!
	3:37pm Sem: That's my favourite flavour.
	3:39pm abbazabba: Wow, this one is giving the goosebumps
	3:40pm fred: Any crane guy update?
	3:41pm adamdoesit: I like this David Garland thing… and it's (no surprise here) new to me. Heading out to meet the wife for a squint at the afternoon sun. Thank you, Storks, cranes, and other meshuggeneh avian types. Barkeep, another Glen Passaic for fred here! No, better make it three: put one to his left, one to his right, and one ("the centerist") directly in front of him.
	3:42pm Jeff Moore: I do love so much of David Garland's work. Available on Bandcamp: davidgarland.bandcamp.com...
	3:43pm Jeff Moore: ...and can I assume people also know about his long career in the beforetimes hosting "Spinning on Air" on WNYC?
	3:44pm adamdoesit: @Jeff Moore: ohhh! that David Garland!
	3:45pm Jeff Moore: @adamdoesit: That one indeed!
	3:46pm Stork: Thank you, Jeff Moore for sharing David G's Tactility rekkid wid me, so's I could play it for us.
	3:51pm fred: @adamdoesit: Thanks, that should help with my diminishing spatial skills
	3:51pm Jeff Moore: @Stork: Always glad to share with a DJ who might give the artist airplay. (I hope artists are okay with that particular stance)
	3:54pm Jeff Moore: Moar Garland, a post I find absolutely charming: www.instagram.com... (link only useful if you happen to be a willing participant in the above walled garden of surveillance capitalism)
	3:54pm Sem: Storkmeister, there isn't another place in the world where Glen Passiac and a jazz education go together so entertainingly. While that might be the alcohol talking, it might also be the unnamed organic compounds unattributed on the label. No mind, thank you for the pleasure of your company, and Newton's first, second, and third laws of delicious fluting. Ciao, pal.
	3:56pm Stork: Hanks of thanks to all! Another cuddly huddle here at the Club de Birdbrain. Truly a moving experience tonight - So AM looking forward to another and another confab - goodnight to our fellow man, sleeping tonight aloft, above the flats of Münster - may he alight safely and be helped. see ya next week.
	3:56pm chresti: Nice set! Thanks Stork!
	🥁 3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Stork ~
	3:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Stork! And thanks for sharing your thoughts/Sunday, everyone.
	🥁 3:57pm listener james from westwood: Mighty mighty thanks, Stork!
	3:59pm Stork: Thank you so verily, SoP, Sem, listener james, chresti, Jeff Moore!, fred, adamdoesit, Michael 98145, and the whole giggly gang!!! a-mwaHHH!!
	🥁 4:03pm Michael 98145: Thank you, sir!
	🥁 4:14pm WR: Thank you Stork. And may the man in the crane find some peace and resolution other than the big sleep that awaits us all.
