	1:02pm tom tom the pipers son: good afternoon krys and all...
	1:02pm Krys O.: Hi, Handy, Paul, WR! Yes, it's chilly. I'm planning on putting away cold weather clothes though. The nighttime temps will be in the 50s next week.
	1:03pm Krys O.: Hey, tom tom!
	👻 1:09pm fred: Hey Krys! I just saw my racist mayor, who'll be reelected in a landslide. Barf time in effect
	1:10pm tom tom the pipers son: @krys...nice to hear you share like that, i'm very touched, a little peek into the world of krys...
	1:10pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:09 Hello, fred. I'm so sorry.
	👻 1:10pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Shark Shark" by "John Cale" I saw a clip of his new video. I love the weirdness of it
	1:11pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:10 Cheers! I usually do that with my cats, but while using weird voices.
	1:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:11 hahaha...!
	1:12pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:10 It is! I'm so glad that he is releasing music. He is a treasure.
	1:13pm Krys O.: Speaking of treasures...I'm also glad that Fly Ashtray continue to record.
	1:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:12 agree... here he is in 70's form... voice sounds so good...
	👻 1:15pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:10 He openly hates Arabs and Asians (colonization hangover), which makes him vey popular with Black voters. Which is why we'll soon have a neo-nazi government: Jews hate Blacks and Arabs, Blacks hate Jews and Arabs, Arabs hate Blacks and Jews, whites hate all of the above. Everybody hates Asians. We are doomed
	1:20pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:15 A divide and conquer tactic.
	👻 1:23pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:20 At least the Jewish Neo-Nazi faction is splintering, though I doubt it amounts to much
	👻 1:26pm yerfriendpaul: Interesting report! I wonder if any of those people are still immersed in computers? Incredible/mind blowing how much technology has grown since then
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:09 Ah, le temps de barf.
	👻 1:28pm fred: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:26 There was a great film about Sakamoto where he showed an early sampler. Can't find it anymore it seems
	1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:26 My brother studied computers in high school in the early 70s. There were less than a dozen kids in the class. They were able to link up to the SUNY computers. He studied computer engineering at Northeastern. He made computers for family members including me in the 90s. He is retired, but he works on computers still for fun.
	1:30pm tom tom the pipers son: re: france...right, a divide and conquer tactic coming from the top-down... but maybe people latch on because they feel the only way to "keep it real" is hating the other as a reactionary move to the virtual world which is more and more prevalent and difficult to understand...just thinking out loud...
	👻 1:31pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:29 That’s great! Impressive profession!
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:30 racial hate as a reaction to technology
	1:32pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, Krys O. Greetings, all.
	1:32pm Krys O.: Hi, Chris in KB!
	👻 1:32pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:30 Well, we all hate each other. Have you ever met a French person? I think that reaction is perfectly understandable, even healthy
	1:34pm Pence: good show krys o
	1:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:32 fred, did you read the recent and hilarious Baffler web article on the meeting of Hapsburgs in Texas? A few Carlists were also let in, I guess for liability purposes.
	1:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @1:32 funny...but not ha ha...
	1:35pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:32 When I was in Paris, one of my sponsor's boyfriends revealed himself to be an unrepentant Anti-Semite. I was a teenager away from home and felt so uncomfortable.
	👻 1:35pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:34 I always do, very funny indeed
	1:37pm Krys O.: Hello, Pence! Thanks for your kind words.
	👻 1:39pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:34 Though it made me wonder why we had to make up the Church of the Subgenius, when they had so much down pat
	1:42pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:39 Because the Doktors for Bob band needed a reason to do gigs.
	👻 1:43pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:35 My accent is shitty, but people usually think I'm German or Balt or Scandinavian.
	1:45pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:43 Ha! When I became more proficient in speaking French, folks did not think I was American. I told them I was Scottish.
	👻 1:47pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:45 Did they hit you up for whisky deals? I sure would have
	1:49pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:47 LOL! Guys who hung out at the New Rose Records store wanted me to go to their band's gigs. I did go to one. I was still just 17 at the time.
	👻 1:49pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Bill Jerome" by "Mike Pinder" I love the little reveal that he loved an early Jimmy Durante song
	1:51pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:49 Ironically that same Durante bit inspired Andy Partridge to name the band XTC. When Durante finds the 'lost chord', he says "I'm in ecstasy!"
	👻 1:53pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:51 That’s so great! Inka Dinka Doo!
	1:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:51 painful to watch the mismatch of durante and buster keaton in their early 30's movies
	1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: interesting ...his take on the internet
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 I really liked What! No Beer?
	👻 1:58pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:49 I didn't go to New Rose much, but from what I remember I get why they wanted a 17 year old girl to show up at their show
	1:59pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Prior to the Moody Blues, Pinder worked as an engineer at the Mellotron factory.
	1:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:56 oh i've only seen clips with durante being sort of abusive to keaton not "getting" him
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:59 The thing about Keaton was that in the act he did with his parents he was literally thrown around like a football. He was trained to learn how to fall down and such in an acrobatic way.
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:59 ah, maybe that's why he has a sensitive assessment of the internet at that time
	👻 2:01pm fred: ↳ fred @1:58 Not in a creepy way, as in being relevant
	2:02pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Krys!
	2:02pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:01 I was already a seasoned club kid from age 16 onward. Perhaps they sensed that.
	2:03pm Krys O.: Hi, Franco!
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Out and In" by "Moody Blues" This has been an ear worm for the past week.
	2:06pm Pence: ↳ Song: "Out and In" by "Moody Blues" <3
	2:08pm Krys O.: Justin Hayward is such an underrated guitarist.
	2:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Don't Box Me In" by "Stewart Copeland and Stan Ri... Stan told me that working with Stewart was...um, challenging?
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:01 oh like i said i haven't seen much besides clips, but what i saw was durante's frustration that keaton wasn't doing schtick, wasn't "on" or showbiz, but also think keaton's pratfalls in sound didn't work because you can hear the thud when he lands
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 yes i was aware of keaton's vaudeville history
	👻 2:17pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 That thud is one of the big differences between classical and contemporary dance. In classical, it's all about denial of gravity, so you have to have some sound to cover up that. Part of why I can't stand classical anymore
	👻 2:18pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lorraine" by "Nat King Cole & the Quincy Jo... Sounds so good
	2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:17 Interesting.
	2:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Sheena Pals!
	2:22pm Krys O.: Howdy, Babs!
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:39 Ha! Indeed.
	👻 2:24pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:19 Only applies to female dancers, men are allowed to thud. Not exactly a surprise
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Krys, did you see the Miss Turntables GIF from Monica's fill-in yesterday? An accordion player from the first Hungarian film noir. Thought you'd appreciate. www.wfmu.org...
	2:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:17 but i don't think keaton's 30's sound pratfalls are examples of contemporary dance, the total effect isn't intentional there's no thought behind the thud...
	2:25pm DJ Babs: Nice tunes today and as always I love a high level chat on important matters of the day. My take on it: We are ALL FUCKED. I will be shocked if humans are even left on this earth in a Millenium because the majority of us are getting stupider by the day, and we are being crushed by capitalism and idiot oligarchs. That's my 2 cents. lol
	2:26pm DJ Babs: But hey, in the meantime, let's make the best of it and enjoy music and friendship and discourse and great art.
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 I was on my way home and missed the reveal. Thanks for reminding me, Handy.
	2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @2:26 xxxooo
	2:29pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters!
	2:29pm Krys O.: Hi, chresti!
	2:30pm DJ Babs: Heya Chresti!
	2:31pm Pence: Hai y'allz
	2:31pm chresti: Hi Babs!
	👻 2:32pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:25 The thud can be the point in contemporary dance (not saying Keaton was doing that). Reclaiming the actual body is an issue, and a big divide from classical, also with body types of dancers (especially female). But I'm already getting into the weeds there
	2:32pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 A lovely gif that was!
	2:34pm Pence: Richard Tandy RIP, Duane Eddy ditto
	2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:32 yes, elizabeth streb exploited this to full effect
	2:34pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Beauty Remains" by "Claire Welles" Claire Welles is currently producing an album using an Amiga/OctaMED set up.
	2:35pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" by "Knower" This is awesome.
	2:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Pence @2:34 Indeed! Richard Tandy was with the band for a very long time.
	2:36pm Handy Haversack: Blossom Dearie!
	👻 2:37pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 Blossom Dearie, again?
	👻 2:38pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:36 Who did you bribe? And more to the point, what cocktail are you mixing?
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: We were having emergency house-cleaning Katetails. Now she's off to band practice (with Creamo). I guess I ought to do a little work ... but I was enjoying just staring into the middle distance.
	2:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:42 That's a good past time.
	2:43pm Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:42 I read that as "kaletails," as in, some sort of health drink made from kale.
	👻 2:44pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:43 Might lead to a rude awakening with 3 cats and a puppy in house
	2:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "This Could Be the Night" by "Modern Folk Quartet" sounds so much like 'let him run wild'
	2:45pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @2:43 Kale tincture?
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ Roberto @2:43 Hi, Roberto! I just remembered a very funny British comedy series The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin. He had a son-in-law who made wine out of weird vegetables like parsnips. It was always terrible. Ha!
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "This Could Be the Night" by "Modern Folk Quartet" This was the opening theme song for Rodney Binginhimer show on KROQ for years
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 Hard to conjure romance with parsnip wine. You can see why it's rarely mentioned in lyrics.
	2:47pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:44 It's written by Harry Nilsson and produced by Phil Spector. It was never released properly except on a box set. I had it on tape in the 80s. Used to play it a lot on the olde show.
	2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:47 Cool! It was also the intro to the TNT concert film.
	2:48pm Franco Twinkie: Jarritos are a Mexican soda.
	2:48pm Pence: Krys, do you ever still consider pursuit to get back onto the reg FMU schedules?
	2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 yes, just read the info blurb thx
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:47 Oh, Franco, you might enjoy this band! Very much themed around LA art stuff from the sixties and seventies. Rodney Binginhimer sort of a muse. Dave Mandl on bass, our friend Heather on drums, and Barba Yiorgi from Anaboboula on lead guitar: eljinmarbles.bandcamp.com... And a CD for truck purposes!
	2:49pm DJ Babs: mmm Jarritos so sugary....
	2:50pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @2:49 The tamarind one is great.
	👻 2:51pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 I first thought your reply was about parsnip wine. Now I wish it was
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Gdy Zobaczysz Mnie w Tłumie" by "Alibabki" Fashion winners of the playlist, game over!
	2:51pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:49 I drove by a Norms yesterday afternoon!
	2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:50 i drink that...
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:51 I don't even know what one is!
	2:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:52 I rarely drink soda, but Los Jarritos tamarind is one I like.
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:52 i do drink soda, but mix it 60/40 seltzer to soda
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys! Had to miss some for errands, but always a treat. And the cat litter and puppy treats are secured.
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Krys! Enjoyed the show very much!! Take care, everyone!
	2:54pm Krys O.: Thanks to all of you wonderful folks to being here this afternoon! Take care of yourselves!
	👻 2:55pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:52 A coffee shop, kind of like Denny's. But in an art context, Ed Rucha did a painting of the sign in the sixties that has become an icon.
	2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: thamks, krys....
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	2:55pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks, Krys O!
	2:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks
	2:57pm DJ Babs: great show Krys!!!!! Thank you!
	2:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Krys!

	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 I really liked What! No Beer?
	👻 1:58pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:49 I didn't go to New Rose much, but from what I remember I get why they wanted a 17 year old girl to show up at their show
	1:59pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Prior to the Moody Blues, Pinder worked as an engineer at the Mellotron factory.
	1:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:56 oh i've only seen clips with durante being sort of abusive to keaton not "getting" him
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:59 The thing about Keaton was that in the act he did with his parents he was literally thrown around like a football. He was trained to learn how to fall down and such in an acrobatic way.
	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:59 ah, maybe that's why he has a sensitive assessment of the internet at that time
	👻 2:01pm fred: ↳ fred @1:58 Not in a creepy way, as in being relevant
	2:02pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Krys!
	2:02pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:01 I was already a seasoned club kid from age 16 onward. Perhaps they sensed that.
	2:03pm Krys O.: Hi, Franco!
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Out and In" by "Moody Blues" This has been an ear worm for the past week.
	2:06pm Pence: ↳ Song: "Out and In" by "Moody Blues" <3
	2:08pm Krys O.: Justin Hayward is such an underrated guitarist.
	2:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Don't Box Me In" by "Stewart Copeland and Stan Ri... Stan told me that working with Stewart was...um, challenging?
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:01 oh like i said i haven't seen much besides clips, but what i saw was durante's frustration that keaton wasn't doing schtick, wasn't "on" or showbiz, but also think keaton's pratfalls in sound didn't work because you can hear the thud when he lands
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 yes i was aware of keaton's vaudeville history
	👻 2:17pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 That thud is one of the big differences between classical and contemporary dance. In classical, it's all about denial of gravity, so you have to have some sound to cover up that. Part of why I can't stand classical anymore
	👻 2:18pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lorraine" by "Nat King Cole & the Quincy Jo... Sounds so good
	2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:17 Interesting.
	2:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Sheena Pals!
	2:22pm Krys O.: Howdy, Babs!
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:39 Ha! Indeed.
	👻 2:24pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:19 Only applies to female dancers, men are allowed to thud. Not exactly a surprise
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Krys, did you see the Miss Turntables GIF from Monica's fill-in yesterday? An accordion player from the first Hungarian film noir. Thought you'd appreciate. www.wfmu.org...
	2:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:17 but i don't think keaton's 30's sound pratfalls are examples of contemporary dance, the total effect isn't intentional there's no thought behind the thud...
	2:25pm DJ Babs: Nice tunes today and as always I love a high level chat on important matters of the day. My take on it: We are ALL FUCKED. I will be shocked if humans are even left on this earth in a Millenium because the majority of us are getting stupider by the day, and we are being crushed by capitalism and idiot oligarchs. That's my 2 cents. lol
	2:26pm DJ Babs: But hey, in the meantime, let's make the best of it and enjoy music and friendship and discourse and great art.
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 I was on my way home and missed the reveal. Thanks for reminding me, Handy.
	2:28pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @2:26 xxxooo
	2:29pm chresti: Hi Krys and coasters!
	2:29pm Krys O.: Hi, chresti!
	2:30pm DJ Babs: Heya Chresti!
	2:31pm Pence: Hai y'allz
	2:31pm chresti: Hi Babs!
	👻 2:32pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:25 The thud can be the point in contemporary dance (not saying Keaton was doing that). Reclaiming the actual body is an issue, and a big divide from classical, also with body types of dancers (especially female). But I'm already getting into the weeds there
	2:32pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 A lovely gif that was!
	2:34pm Pence: Richard Tandy RIP, Duane Eddy ditto
	2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:32 yes, elizabeth streb exploited this to full effect
	2:34pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Beauty Remains" by "Claire Welles" Claire Welles is currently producing an album using an Amiga/OctaMED set up.
	2:35pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" by "Knower" This is awesome.
	2:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Pence @2:34 Indeed! Richard Tandy was with the band for a very long time.
	2:36pm Handy Haversack: Blossom Dearie!
	👻 2:37pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:25 Blossom Dearie, again?
	👻 2:38pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:36 Who did you bribe? And more to the point, what cocktail are you mixing?
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: We were having emergency house-cleaning Katetails. Now she's off to band practice (with Creamo). I guess I ought to do a little work ... but I was enjoying just staring into the middle distance.
	2:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:42 That's a good past time.
	2:43pm Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:42 I read that as "kaletails," as in, some sort of health drink made from kale.
	👻 2:44pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:43 Might lead to a rude awakening with 3 cats and a puppy in house
	2:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "This Could Be the Night" by "Modern Folk Quartet" sounds so much like 'let him run wild'
	2:45pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @2:43 Kale tincture?
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ Roberto @2:43 Hi, Roberto! I just remembered a very funny British comedy series The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin. He had a son-in-law who made wine out of weird vegetables like parsnips. It was always terrible. Ha!
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "This Could Be the Night" by "Modern Folk Quartet" This was the opening theme song for Rodney Binginhimer show on KROQ for years
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 Hard to conjure romance with parsnip wine. You can see why it's rarely mentioned in lyrics.
	2:47pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:44 It's written by Harry Nilsson and produced by Phil Spector. It was never released properly except on a box set. I had it on tape in the 80s. Used to play it a lot on the olde show.
	2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:47 Cool! It was also the intro to the TNT concert film.
	2:48pm Franco Twinkie: Jarritos are a Mexican soda.
	2:48pm Pence: Krys, do you ever still consider pursuit to get back onto the reg FMU schedules?
	2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 yes, just read the info blurb thx
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:47 Oh, Franco, you might enjoy this band! Very much themed around LA art stuff from the sixties and seventies. Rodney Binginhimer sort of a muse. Dave Mandl on bass, our friend Heather on drums, and Barba Yiorgi from Anaboboula on lead guitar: eljinmarbles.bandcamp.com... And a CD for truck purposes!
	2:49pm DJ Babs: mmm Jarritos so sugary....
	2:50pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @2:49 The tamarind one is great.
	👻 2:51pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 I first thought your reply was about parsnip wine. Now I wish it was
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Gdy Zobaczysz Mnie w Tłumie" by "Alibabki" Fashion winners of the playlist, game over!
	2:51pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:49 I drove by a Norms yesterday afternoon!
	2:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:50 i drink that...
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:51 I don't even know what one is!
	2:52pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:52 I rarely drink soda, but Los Jarritos tamarind is one I like.
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:52 i do drink soda, but mix it 60/40 seltzer to soda
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys! Had to miss some for errands, but always a treat. And the cat litter and puppy treats are secured.
	👻 2:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Krys! Enjoyed the show very much!! Take care, everyone!
	2:54pm Krys O.: Thanks to all of you wonderful folks to being here this afternoon! Take care of yourselves!
	👻 2:55pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:52 A coffee shop, kind of like Denny's. But in an art context, Ed Rucha did a painting of the sign in the sixties that has become an icon.
	2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: thamks, krys....
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	2:55pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks, Krys O!
	2:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks
	2:57pm DJ Babs: great show Krys!!!!! Thank you!
	2:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Krys!
