	6:25pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:23 It's a soft blow to the 8-track mess....
	6:26pm Roberto: ↳ dale @6:24 Dirty, yet...alluring.
	6:27pm Don-O: Hello Good, dale and Roberto!!
	6:33pm A➡B: Gah! I step out to make dinner for just a minute and miss out on the Xanadu! (That'll teach me!)
	6:34pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @6:33 Don't worry too much. Things go seriously crappy after the third track. You won't miss much.
	6:36pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Olivia Newton-John" YOU FKNG CKSCKR!
	6:38pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "Magic" by "Olivia Newton-John" This earworm has been in my head ALL DAY! Not gonna if that's a good or bad thing, though...
	6:39pm A➡B: ↳ A➡B @6:38 Not gonna SAY...
	6:39pm dale: i really didn't care for juliana's ONJ album. like she discovered her and needed to bring her to people's attention, but the covers were not inspiring.
	👻 6:40pm Cp304: Hey Big Crapper and craps.. relapsing to Xanadu 24 thon is not so bad when it's 8trac and your on call.
	6:41pm A➡B: ↳ dale @6:39 I felt the same way about her ELO covers album.
	6:42pm dale: thought this was andy gibb all these years. man - he was doing victoria principal!
	👻 6:42pm Cp304: ↳ dale @6:42 Gibb was on the other song I think
	6:43pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Suddenly" by "Olivia Newton-John & Cliff RIchard" Rik Mayall's dead ears just pricked up!
	6:43pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @6:40 Hey, Cp304. Welcome to the questionable value of 8-tracks!
	6:43pm dale: ↳ A➡B @6:41 yeah, kinda lazy to me. like rod stewart or bryan ferry doing american standards.
	6:44pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:42 I have yet to hear Ms. Principal sing.....better for worse than Cheryl Ladd?
	6:45pm dale: fee waybill and gene kelly in the same vehicle - nuts.
	6:45pm dale: ↳ Don-O @6:44 don't think i have heard cheryl ladd's country album. or lynda carter's
	6:46pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Dancin’ (parts 1 & 2)" by "Olivia Newton-John & T... +click+
	6:46pm Dean: Creshevsky, ELO, and Olivia Newton-John...quite a playlist already. Ferry's covers are hit or miss; Rod's are generally excessive.
	6:46pm A➡B: The Tubes was quite a lucky catch for the movie's producers! At least it made for one good reason to buy the soundtrack & watch the movie.
	6:47pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:46 Welcome to my head, dean. I'm so all over the place, I give myself a headache!
	6:47pm dale: ha ha! my wife said 'don't stop it there! that was stupid...i'm annoyed.'
	6:47pm Roberto: I did NOT know the Tubes were on this soundtrack.
	6:48pm dale: at least she's paying attention.
	6:49pm Don-O: I just discovered that there is no 8-track button on the format selection. Disappointed, FMU!!
	6:49pm Asheville Jon: howdy all you crapsters
	6:50pm Don-O: ↳ Asheville Jon @6:49 Welcome to the world of 8-tracks, Ashville!! don't mind the sound bleeds.
	6:51pm Asheville Jon: i love 8 tracks. wish i still had some of mine
	6:51pm Don-O: ↳ Asheville Jon @6:49 Ashville, I'll reply to your offer on that Athur Feidler tape later today. Things have been busy this week.
	6:51pm Dean: I attended a Tubes concert, festival style (whatever the fark that means) at which there was a riot. Got my money's worth.
	6:52pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Don-O @6:51 no worries, i've been beyond slammed here, so whenever. it's not gonna go anywhere else.
	6:55pm Dean: I'll never forgive Gene Kelly for inspiring that horrible scene in A Clockwork Orange.
	6:55pm A➡B: I still remember the 8-tracks I bought around theturn of the 80's, mostly Chrysalis albums: Blondie's "Eat To The Beat" & "Autoamerican", Pat Benetar's "Precious Time", and Jethro Tull's "Stormwatch" (considered one of their worst by JT fans). Also had Gerry Rafferty's "Night Owl" and Bowie's "Lodger", both of which are now in my younger brother's possession.
	6:56pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:55 Gene Kelly wasn't pleased about that scene either.....
	6:56pm dale: this is that era when seeing stars from the post- depression era like fred astaire in cheesy polyester and apache scarves was common.
	6:56pm Don-O: + clink +
	6:57pm Dean: So he says... I had at least two 8-tracks: David Jones/Bowie's first, and a collection of Genesis records from the early '70s.
	6:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're Away From Me (parts 1 & 2)" by "O... The real Magic starts!!!!
	6:59pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I’m Alive" by "Electric Light Orchestra" BTW: this popped up on YT today: from Louis Clark Jr.'s channel: www.youtube.com...
	6:59pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:57 And sharts.
	6:59pm Dean: Saw ELO three times, despite never owning an album theirs other than a bootleg that I wish I'd kept.
	7:01pm Dean: I think that bootleg saw official release out of Germany, a show at Long Beach.
	7:02pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:59 I saw ELO once in 2000 at the CBS TV studios. It wasn't bad, got deaf in one ear for weeks. Better than hearing ELO Part 2 on FM radio.
	7:02pm Dean: The shows I saw were '70s, maybe early '80s. Marvelous.
	7:04pm Dean: I was selling records when this Xanadu thing emerged. We played it, but I barely remember even hearing it. It's just such tedious, plodding, boring shit.
	7:07pm A➡B: The worst part about 8-tracks is, whenever you play one that hasn't been played in years, there's a good chance the silver element that switches the player head to a new track would detach. so you'd be left with a spooled and mangled mess of tape the moment you took the cartridge out. It's happened to me up to 3 times in all the time I've used the format.
	7:07pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:04 = click =
	7:08pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:04 What can I tell ya, from "The Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644)" to this. It's a nasty muddy slide
	7:12pm Dean: Is that from the first or second album? Do you know Michael de Albuquerque's We May Be Cattle But We've All Got Names? We'd spin that one, too, but I can't remember whether or not I enjoyed it.
	7:13pm Dean: Shoot, Ollie Halsall is on that album! I need to revisit it.
	7:14pm Don-O: I was about to link to a page on the old 8 Track Heaven about a WFMU that played nothing by 8 track tape, but the site is sadly gone. Seems the guy who ran it died. Good thing I save the crappy MP3 of the show from that site.
	7:15pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:12 The Battle of Marston Moor was from the first album, and it was written and sung by Roy Wood....which should tell ya something...
	7:17pm Dean: What's the URL to the www.8trackheaven.com page with WFMU? Archive.org has a bunch of snapshots.
	7:17pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "8-Track Memories #1" by "Brandan DeVallance" www.youtube.com...
	7:18pm Dean: https://web.archive.org/web/20060125013443/http://www.8trackheaven.com/index2.html
	7:22pm dale: jerrky rafferty.
	7:23pm A➡B: ↳ Don-O @7:14 I know who & what you're talking about. He was interviewed decades ago on WFMU (either on Irwin's or Tony Coulter's show, iirc). I remember hearing all or most of it.
	7:24pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Baker Street" by "Galactic Symposium" UT! Make that Baker Street!!
	7:25pm Feldy: Damn I missed Xanadu! Hey Don-O!
	7:26pm Roberto: Maury Bund Muzik!
	7:27pm Don-O: ↳ Feldy @7:25 Beware of repeats, Feidy! Hello Good!
	7:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" Gettin' moribund up in here!
	7:33pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" I don't remember what provoked it, but I went on a little trip through the B-52's catalogue this week
	7:33pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "Baker Street" by "Galactic Symposium" Reminds me of some alternative act I used to hear on college radio, but can't quite put my finger on which one. A likely candidate for Darryl W. Bullock's World's Worst Records!
	7:34pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" great to hear this
	7:36pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" You know summer is officially here when you hear this playing on the radio!
	7:36pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @7:36 We're at the half way mark!!
	7:37pm Don-O: ↳ Feldy @7:33 I'm becoming obsessed with early B-52 stuff!
	7:38pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @7:36 ....in a good way.
	7:39pm dale: great grape? or goofy grape?
	7:40pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "PR Gnus #1928 - Game Show" by "Mr. F. Le Mur" I've been hearing this "Wait, Don't Tell Me!" radio quiz show every odd weekend. (Matter of fact, I was hearing it last Sunday!)
	👻 7:40pm WR: ↳ Dean @7:18 here is the archive org page with info on WFMU show (hosted by Fabio) on May 10, 1998 of all 8 track. 8trackheaven.com... The MP3 download links actually still work. Bucks Burnette died in late September 2023. Seem the website was still up until just a few months ago.
	7:42pm A➡B: ↳ WR @7:40 Thank you! Yes, that must be the show I was talking about earlier!
	7:46pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "We WILL Rock You" by "The Evolution Control Commi... A classic!
	👻 7:51pm Kat in the chat: [feigns dismay] Oh, darn. i missed Xanadu.
	7:51pm A➡B: ↳ Roberto @7:46 I dl'ed the entire "All Rights Reserved" album once. Don't have it anymore, sadly (or maybe it's lost somewhere in one of my hard drives).
	7:52pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:51 ....but I'm sure you're glad you missed the '8-track' part. Hello Good, Kat!
	7:57pm Asheville Jon: thanks Don!
	8:01pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:51 I, too, am feigning dismay, but in having not missed Xanadu.
	8:02pm A➡B: Negativland is playing tonight at The 19th St. Theater in Philly. And as much as I would've wanted to see them, previously planned duties for the day prevented me from making the trip.
	8:02pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @8:01 Hurr....hurr....hurr......
	👻 8:03pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B @8:02 They were in Philly on Tuesday at PhilaMOCA. I was there. Not sure where you are getting your info?
	8:04pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @8:02 Oh, yea. That drive-In gig. Joe Bob Brigg should have introduce them. I suspect I'll miss it as my time zones setting is beyond f'ed up.
	8:04pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:03 Straight from the website. Correction: They're in Allentown tonight.
	👻 8:05pm Kat in the chat: No they already played Allentown too. I know the gig tonight is at a drive-in venue but I don't know the city.
	8:06pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:05 It's somewhere in upstate NY, around the Poughkeepsie area.
	8:06pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @8:04 wavefarm.org...
	👻 8:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:06 oh right that's on now. With Matmos and somebody else. I should check that out in a bit.
	8:14pm Don-O: Imagine Buddy's face plastered across that Drive-In screen!
	👻 8:14pm WR: ↳ Don-O @8:06 Now you've got me streaming 3 audio feeds. 2 WFMU and that one.
	👻 8:15pm Kat in the chat: I have some pix from Buddy's call on Tuesday up on my insta. He really liked my picture of the Butternut Sqweem in the oven and shared it around a bit.
	👻 8:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @8:14 I'm hopping between this and WGXC right now. My laptop audio jack is broken so the only audio I have where I'm sitting is my phone streaming to my stereo.
	8:19pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:15 Coolness......
	8:23pm ike̶̬̕: Nice.
	8:25pm A➡B: The "booper" sounds can get annoying after a while, but it wouldn't be a Negativland performance without all that racket!
	👻 8:26pm Kat in the chat: I made a pickle-heavy potato salad on Memorial Day, it was yummy. I saved a bunch of potato salad recipes from NYT Cooking and I'm going to try a new one every week till I get tired of potato salad.
	8:27pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 Did you use dill or bread & butter?
	8:27pm Don-O: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @8:23 iky, good hello crap to the show!
	8:27pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "(excerpt)" by "Negativland" Ah, the days when it wasn't necessary to specify an area code when giving out a phone number over the air.
	👻 8:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B @8:27 I had a jar of dill chips from a local pickle purveyor in the fridge, so I cut up a bunch of those.
	8:33pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "(excerpt)" by "Negativland" Sing along everybody.........?
	8:35pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:28 It just occurred to me that the bread & butter ones could make a plausible addition to fruit salads, along with those tomato/orange hybrids I once saw at the local Shop-Rite.
	👻 8:49pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 Nice. I too am a fan of potato salad. Made one yesterday. used Persian cucumbers and pickle juice.
	8:52pm ike̶̬̕: I've never made potato salad, but the idea of potato salad with lots of pickles and pickle juice sounds pretty good. I might have to try it.
	👻 8:53pm Kat in the chat: Potato salad is easy! Even I can make it!
	👻 8:54pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Don-O! Sounds like Matmos is starting on Wave Farm so I'm gonna check that out. See ya next week!
	8:56pm A➡B: Thanks for tonight's return to Xanadu, Don-O!
	8:57pm Don-O: We're heading to the 5 minute mark till destruction of this weeks show. My thanks to all fer show up and joining in on the 8-track fun. 'Till the tape breaks!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Thank you! Don O!

May 31, 2024: Let There Be Xanadu 8-Track Tapes!!
Relive the days of questionable tape formats of yore as we listen to the Xanadu on 8-track! Audio bleeds, songs cut in half, wobbly tape speeds and all! Feel your dream get bent out of shape. My tanks to Robert Porter of Jeff Lynne Song Database (JeffrLynneSongs.com) for his kind contribution. Go to https://oddlystupid.wixsite.com/xanadu/xanadu-8-track for the details. BTW, this weeks 'The _____ Of OTE has nothing to do with with 8-tracks and a lot to do with a young Weatherman from 1981. Hands and ears will be full with this one!!

	6:57pm Dean: So he says... I had at least two 8-tracks: David Jones/Bowie's first, and a collection of Genesis records from the early '70s.
	6:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Whenever You're Away From Me (parts 1 & 2)" by "O... The real Magic starts!!!!
	6:59pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I’m Alive" by "Electric Light Orchestra" BTW: this popped up on YT today: from Louis Clark Jr.'s channel: www.youtube.com...
	6:59pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:57 And sharts.
	6:59pm Dean: Saw ELO three times, despite never owning an album theirs other than a bootleg that I wish I'd kept.
	7:01pm Dean: I think that bootleg saw official release out of Germany, a show at Long Beach.
	7:02pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:59 I saw ELO once in 2000 at the CBS TV studios. It wasn't bad, got deaf in one ear for weeks. Better than hearing ELO Part 2 on FM radio.
	7:02pm Dean: The shows I saw were '70s, maybe early '80s. Marvelous.
	7:04pm Dean: I was selling records when this Xanadu thing emerged. We played it, but I barely remember even hearing it. It's just such tedious, plodding, boring shit.
	7:07pm A➡B: The worst part about 8-tracks is, whenever you play one that hasn't been played in years, there's a good chance the silver element that switches the player head to a new track would detach. so you'd be left with a spooled and mangled mess of tape the moment you took the cartridge out. It's happened to me up to 3 times in all the time I've used the format.
	7:07pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:04 = click =
	7:08pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:04 What can I tell ya, from "The Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644)" to this. It's a nasty muddy slide
	7:12pm Dean: Is that from the first or second album? Do you know Michael de Albuquerque's We May Be Cattle But We've All Got Names? We'd spin that one, too, but I can't remember whether or not I enjoyed it.
	7:13pm Dean: Shoot, Ollie Halsall is on that album! I need to revisit it.
	7:14pm Don-O: I was about to link to a page on the old 8 Track Heaven about a WFMU that played nothing by 8 track tape, but the site is sadly gone. Seems the guy who ran it died. Good thing I save the crappy MP3 of the show from that site.
	7:15pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:12 The Battle of Marston Moor was from the first album, and it was written and sung by Roy Wood....which should tell ya something...
	7:17pm Dean: What's the URL to the www.8trackheaven.com page with WFMU? Archive.org has a bunch of snapshots.
	7:17pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "8-Track Memories #1" by "Brandan DeVallance" www.youtube.com...
	7:18pm Dean: https://web.archive.org/web/20060125013443/http://www.8trackheaven.com/index2.html
	7:22pm dale: jerrky rafferty.
	7:23pm A➡B: ↳ Don-O @7:14 I know who & what you're talking about. He was interviewed decades ago on WFMU (either on Irwin's or Tony Coulter's show, iirc). I remember hearing all or most of it.
	7:24pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Baker Street" by "Galactic Symposium" UT! Make that Baker Street!!
	7:25pm Feldy: Damn I missed Xanadu! Hey Don-O!
	7:26pm Roberto: Maury Bund Muzik!
	7:27pm Don-O: ↳ Feldy @7:25 Beware of repeats, Feidy! Hello Good!
	7:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" Gettin' moribund up in here!
	7:33pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" I don't remember what provoked it, but I went on a little trip through the B-52's catalogue this week
	7:33pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "Baker Street" by "Galactic Symposium" Reminds me of some alternative act I used to hear on college radio, but can't quite put my finger on which one. A likely candidate for Darryl W. Bullock's World's Worst Records!
	7:34pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" great to hear this
	7:36pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "Rock Lobster" by "The B-52's" You know summer is officially here when you hear this playing on the radio!
	7:36pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @7:36 We're at the half way mark!!
	7:37pm Don-O: ↳ Feldy @7:33 I'm becoming obsessed with early B-52 stuff!
	7:38pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @7:36 ....in a good way.
	7:39pm dale: great grape? or goofy grape?
	7:40pm A➡B: ↳ Song: "PR Gnus #1928 - Game Show" by "Mr. F. Le Mur" I've been hearing this "Wait, Don't Tell Me!" radio quiz show every odd weekend. (Matter of fact, I was hearing it last Sunday!)
	👻 7:40pm WR: ↳ Dean @7:18 here is the archive org page with info on WFMU show (hosted by Fabio) on May 10, 1998 of all 8 track. 8trackheaven.com... The MP3 download links actually still work. Bucks Burnette died in late September 2023. Seem the website was still up until just a few months ago.
	7:42pm A➡B: ↳ WR @7:40 Thank you! Yes, that must be the show I was talking about earlier!
	7:46pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "We WILL Rock You" by "The Evolution Control Commi... A classic!
	👻 7:51pm Kat in the chat: [feigns dismay] Oh, darn. i missed Xanadu.
	7:51pm A➡B: ↳ Roberto @7:46 I dl'ed the entire "All Rights Reserved" album once. Don't have it anymore, sadly (or maybe it's lost somewhere in one of my hard drives).
	7:52pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:51 ....but I'm sure you're glad you missed the '8-track' part. Hello Good, Kat!
	7:57pm Asheville Jon: thanks Don!
	8:01pm Roberto: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:51 I, too, am feigning dismay, but in having not missed Xanadu.
	8:02pm A➡B: Negativland is playing tonight at The 19th St. Theater in Philly. And as much as I would've wanted to see them, previously planned duties for the day prevented me from making the trip.
	8:02pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @8:01 Hurr....hurr....hurr......
	👻 8:03pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B @8:02 They were in Philly on Tuesday at PhilaMOCA. I was there. Not sure where you are getting your info?
	8:04pm Don-O: ↳ A➡B @8:02 Oh, yea. That drive-In gig. Joe Bob Brigg should have introduce them. I suspect I'll miss it as my time zones setting is beyond f'ed up.
	8:04pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:03 Straight from the website. Correction: They're in Allentown tonight.
	👻 8:05pm Kat in the chat: No they already played Allentown too. I know the gig tonight is at a drive-in venue but I don't know the city.
	8:06pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:05 It's somewhere in upstate NY, around the Poughkeepsie area.
	8:06pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @8:04 wavefarm.org...
	👻 8:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:06 oh right that's on now. With Matmos and somebody else. I should check that out in a bit.
	8:14pm Don-O: Imagine Buddy's face plastered across that Drive-In screen!
	👻 8:14pm WR: ↳ Don-O @8:06 Now you've got me streaming 3 audio feeds. 2 WFMU and that one.
	👻 8:15pm Kat in the chat: I have some pix from Buddy's call on Tuesday up on my insta. He really liked my picture of the Butternut Sqweem in the oven and shared it around a bit.
	👻 8:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @8:14 I'm hopping between this and WGXC right now. My laptop audio jack is broken so the only audio I have where I'm sitting is my phone streaming to my stereo.
	8:19pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:15 Coolness......
	8:23pm ike̶̬̕: Nice.
	8:25pm A➡B: The "booper" sounds can get annoying after a while, but it wouldn't be a Negativland performance without all that racket!
	👻 8:26pm Kat in the chat: I made a pickle-heavy potato salad on Memorial Day, it was yummy. I saved a bunch of potato salad recipes from NYT Cooking and I'm going to try a new one every week till I get tired of potato salad.
	8:27pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 Did you use dill or bread & butter?
	8:27pm Don-O: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @8:23 iky, good hello crap to the show!
	8:27pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "(excerpt)" by "Negativland" Ah, the days when it wasn't necessary to specify an area code when giving out a phone number over the air.
	👻 8:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B @8:27 I had a jar of dill chips from a local pickle purveyor in the fridge, so I cut up a bunch of those.
	8:33pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "(excerpt)" by "Negativland" Sing along everybody.........?
	8:35pm A➡B: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:28 It just occurred to me that the bread & butter ones could make a plausible addition to fruit salads, along with those tomato/orange hybrids I once saw at the local Shop-Rite.
	👻 8:49pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 Nice. I too am a fan of potato salad. Made one yesterday. used Persian cucumbers and pickle juice.
	8:52pm ike̶̬̕: I've never made potato salad, but the idea of potato salad with lots of pickles and pickle juice sounds pretty good. I might have to try it.
	👻 8:53pm Kat in the chat: Potato salad is easy! Even I can make it!
	👻 8:54pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Don-O! Sounds like Matmos is starting on Wave Farm so I'm gonna check that out. See ya next week!
	8:56pm A➡B: Thanks for tonight's return to Xanadu, Don-O!
	8:57pm Don-O: We're heading to the 5 minute mark till destruction of this weeks show. My thanks to all fer show up and joining in on the 8-track fun. 'Till the tape breaks!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Thank you! Don O!
