Listener comments!
	🎭 7:01pm TonyR: So this is either punk musicals or a trib to somebody else I didn't know passed.
	🎭 7:01pm WR: Bop! Blitzstein! Darn, gotta work. Hopefully can listen some.
	🎭 7:02pm Listener Gregory: I am strangely here.
	7:03pm Webhamster Henry: Hi First Nighters!
	7:03pm Webhamster Henry: Carol Channing Channeling Bea Lillie!
	🎭 7:03pm TonyR: 1st night of new season?
	🎭 7:04pm TonyR: No more C&W from the orchestra before curtain?
	🎭 7:04pm Listener Gregory: I was driven off my porch this afternoon by heavy rain driven horizontal. Serious storm.
	🎭 7:05pm TonyR: Is this gonna be on the test?
	🎭 7:05pm Listener Gregory: Everything has to do with death!
	🎭 7:06pm TonyR: So, NOT too soon.
	7:06pm Webhamster Henry: The "Cradle Will Rock" movie is good fun, but it's about the show not a filmed version of the show. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎭 7:06pm TonyR: Always with the death, this WFMU.
	🎭 7:08pm TonyR: It's not cricket to picket.
	7:10pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ TonyR @7:08 [Harold Rome reference of the day]
	🎭 7:11pm TonyR: I thought BB was headed for "I thought, 'Why not trib them while they're still here with us?'" Alas, no.
	7:12pm Webhamster Henry: Blitzstein and Kurt Weill share a birthday, March 2nd, but he was 5 years younger.
	🎭 7:13pm TonyR: The kids are losing their minds....
	🎭 7:16pm WR: Not his birthday, not his death day? Let's celebrate the work because we love the work and want to celebrate it? Love it!
	7:17pm Bronwyn Bishop: exactly!!!! also hello darlings!!!
	🎭 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Piano Concerto: III. Adagio ma non troppo" by "Th... I liked that! It was all over the place.
	🎭 7:18pm TonyR: ↳ WR @7:16 If you say so. [Rassin' Frassin'...]
	🎭 7:22pm Listener Gregory: I looked up the origin of the phrase "What fresh hell is this?", attributed to Dorothy Parker. Although similar sayings predated hers, her use of it definitely popularized it. Interestingly, she used to say it when the doorbell rang or at other unexpected events that were not yet hellish. (I cannot think of another comment board that is more appropriate to share this information. Probably Blitzstein and Parker knew one another [stab in the dark].)
	7:23pm Bronwyn Bishop: I would love to party in the afterlife with parker and blitzstein

	7:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: is it not playing?
	7:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: ok phew
	🎭 7:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Bronwyn Bishop @7:31 Oh dear. I got a dose of Blitzstein-meets-Afropop for a brief period. Damn internet! Back now.
	7:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: that sounds intriguing
	🎭 7:32pm TonyR: I also had to restart the stream on the official app on my ancient tablet which will one day explode in my hands.
	🎭 7:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TonyR @7:28 Thanks. Next time we'll have to do the show via text message.
	🎭 7:33pm TonyR: I didn't tryy turning it off then on again. Because that takes 10 minutes.
	🎭 7:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Quartet for Strings, "Italian": Allegro" by "Sara... Ms. Bishop, why is this credited to Sarah Cahill & Del Sol Quartet if it is a work for String Quartet? The artist listing sounds like five musicians, quartet + Cahill.
	🎭 7:35pm TonyR: NOBODY puts Sarah Cahill in a corner!
	7:41pm Bob Barth: Hey gang! Hello lady BB.
	🎭 7:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:34 OK, thanks! I really liked the quartet and orchestral pieces.
