WFMU: The Stork Club with Stork: Playlist from July 7, 2024

Listener comments!
	🥁 9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♋︎Cancer, Year of Metal 🐎Horse ' Henry Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American tenor saxophonist and composer. Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone", a metaphor used to describe his tone, that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as mellow as Lester Young, and his style that was laid-back, subtle and melodic, especially in contrast with players such as Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. The critic Stacia Proefrock claimed him "one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era." Mobley's compositions include "Double Exposure", "Soul Station", and "Dig Dis" '... ⦿Sun in ♋︎Cancer, Year of Water 🐒Monkey ' Josef Erich Zawinul (⫽ˈzɒvɪnəl⫽ ZOV-in-əl; 7 July 1932 – 11 September 2007) was an Austrian jazz and jazz fusion keyboardist and composer. First coming to prominence with saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, Zawinul went on to play with Miles Davis and to become one of the creators of jazz fusion, a musical genre that combined jazz with rock. He co-founded the groups Weather Report and The Zawinul Syndicate. He pioneered the use of electric piano and synthesizer, and was named "Best Electric Keyboardist" twenty-eight times by the readers of DownBeat magazine '...
	11:58am Stork: Yer a treasure, RevRabb!! Than you!!
	12:01pm Stork: Welcome hotties, and cool-types!!
	12:01pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @11:58 Agreed Stork, RRN63 is a treasure. Glad to be here, likely for the whole show as hubby is washing the car and unlikely to be spinning the vinyls today. FYI Stork, on my screen I can't ready anyone's names.
	🥁 12:01pm WR: Hello Stork and folks.
	12:02pm Sem: ^
	🥁 12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @11:58 ...leaves a lot to be said, really - but we all know where wigkey is online. Even in a brief I'd want to mention Zawinul's place in the history of Ambient...

	12:06pm chresti: Greetsings Stork and swells in the bright lights!
	12:07pm Dean: Learned the address from an issue of OutWeek archived at archive.org, the only source so far to provide a street address. Just blocks from Katz's!
	12:08pm Katharsis: hellos
	🥁 12:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "#9 Venus The Living Myth" by "Meshell Ndegeocello... ritual music ?

	12:19pm chresti: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:13 Oh boy here we go 90s☀☀☀☀☀☀
	12:20pm chresti: ↳ love2laf @12:14 Hi love2laffkins!
	12:20pm Stork: YOu were right Jeff G! Dark orange on dark orange = dark orange. That's just math.
	🥁 12:21pm Michael 98145: identity equation
	12:22pm ?: Im here too! though it could be nap time. breakfast dishes are done, soon to dirty up for another meal. eggies over spinach over toast
	12:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ love2laf @12:14 Greetings, love2laf!
	12:22pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @12:17 adamdoesit!! Come and sit, and tipple... and then topple
	🥁 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Smokin'" by "Hank Mobley" <3 GrantGreenGittar ...these other guys will do also...
	12:24pm love2laf: Sadly, Erin the Kitteh is not getting her Stork Club fix, she's too out of sorts with the car washing. She knows this means hubby will bring mosquitos into the house. There is nothing quite so terrifying to her as mosquitos and black flies.
	12:26pm fred: Greetings Stork and clubbers. I'll have a Glen Passaic to numb my nerves
	12:27pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Cool Blue Notes for a scorcher!
	12:28pm chresti: ↳ love2laf @12:24 Aww I dread the bug season too
	12:30pm Dean: Today is also Ringo Starr's birthday.
	12:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ fred @12:26 I can't check the election news without stumbling across a TdF spoiler, so I'll buy for Fred instead, and make it a triple. Barkeep, a Glen Passaic 3eme Arrondisement for our beleaguered friend!
	12:30pm Stork: ↳ Song: "A Baptist Beat (alternate take)" by "Hank Mobley" Blow, Freddie!!
	12:31pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @12:28 Up here it's either bug season, or snow season. She's got a few more months of this, poor thing.
	12:31pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @12:30 We're with you, fred!! Drink up, and deeply!
	12:32pm Stork: ↳ Dean @12:30 Happy birthday, Mr. Starkey!!
	12:32pm love2laf: ↳ fred @12:26 Have one on me, this has not been a good year for you.
	12:33pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:24 Black flies?! Shudder. Where are y'all again, love2laf?
	12:34pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:33 Northish Ontario, on the west side of Algonquin Park. The blackflies have ceased biting now, thankfully.
	12:34pm fred: ↳ adamdoesit @12:30 Thanks man, I'm skipping a great looking show tonight because I don't want to be outside if the fascists win
	12:39pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:34 You must get a lot of people asking: "hey, do you know that song "Helpless" by Neil Young? He, like, name-checks North Ontario!, So, like, whoah!" --- so I won't be one of those people.
	12:40pm Doug Schulkind: Blakey was absolutely smoking on that one. Skittering around the kit with killer wit.
	12:42pm fred: ↳ love2laf @12:32 It hasn't been that bad. I saw many great dance shows, the open doors day at the Paris art school was finally back to pre-covid form, and I got to meet WFMU DJ Kendra this week. I took a nasty spill, but that's not much, especially compared to the one democracy might take today
	12:42pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:40 Dougie! Ended up picking a lotta Blakey-fied tunes in this set. So, oops-not!
	12:44pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:39 Ha! I am actually close by to where Gordon Lightfoot was born, and continued to come every year to perform in his hometown. Also nearby to Bobcaygeon name checked by The Tragically Hip. I unfortunately know not a single famous musician. @fred and all the Olympics prep which has been going on has made things tough for you to get around. And YAY meeting a WFMU DJ is a great thing <3
	12:44pm Dean: The cover on Message is completely unfamiliar to me. I doubt I've seen it before, but even if I have, the design and style are so unusual. Not exactly Constructivist, but of a family resemblance.
	12:45pm chresti: ↳ love2laf @12:31 www.animalhumanesociety.org...
	12:46pm Stork: Bobcaygeon - interesting name!
	12:47pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @12:45 Thanks chrestikins, can't hurt to try. I think once they're in the house though any warm blooded creature is an easy target.
	12:47pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Little Girl Blue" by "Hank Mobley" Barry Harris, gettin' extra-ruminative!!
	12:48pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @12:44 Dean, I love how the dots on album cover are used to convey a sense of movement and energy. Similar to the deployment of dots on this Art Blakey album cover: images.app.goo.gl...
	12:50pm Dean: The dots on the Mobley add to the stark geometry, too, and balance the angularity. The dots on the Blakey--also new to me--resemble confetti.
	🥁 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:48 Dots on powerlines a bit like notes on a stave. An interesting interposition imagewise for some kinds of Musics.
	12:54pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:53 You guys are dottie, and I love ya!!
	12:55pm fred: ↳ love2laf @12:44 The Olympics are inconvenient for me (and will get worse), but the ones who really suffer are the unhoused, who are under growing pressure to get out of the (tourist) picture. This campaign is brutal, and will get much worse. Cops can "clean up" the streets, but won't help much with cleaning the Seine river
	12:56pm Dean: The Roach was recorded at Fine Recording Studios, as in Wilma Cozart Fine, who spearheaded the Mercury Records Living Presence series of classical recordings. https://www.preservationsound.com/2012/02/fine-recording-inc-pioneers-in-high-fidelity-studio-recording/
	12:58pm Dean: The Olympics in Los Angeles, 1984, were, aside from the late '70s punk scene, the very best time to be in the city. Everybody was so afraid of endless traffic jams that they high-tailed it out of town. Those of us who stuck around got to enjoy the marvelous Arts Festival associated with all the athletics.
	1:00pm Stork: ↳ Dean @12:56 Thanks, Dean! Those Living Presence LPs are amazing.
	1:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hey Stork and everyone - I'm going to need to temporarily freeze the song updating on the playlist soon, for a little while (maybe 20 mins.). Commenting will keep working! I'll post again here right before I freeze it.
	1:03pm love2laf: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:00 Thanks for letting us know, then we don't bother anyone saying there's a problem!
	1:05pm Stork: Thanks, Kenzo! If you could hold off max 15 minutes before you do your thing, that would be great - otherwise lemme know and i'll post he songs accordingly- thanks!
	1:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, you want me to wait until 1:20pm ET, I can do that!
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:05 that would be (chef's fingers) mwah!!!
	1:10pm fred: @love2laf: I guess you're a long way from London, which I only know as the home of the Nihilist Spasm Band, an amazing band. I've seen almost all their shows in Paris, my excuse for the first one being I wasn't born
	🥁 1:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:28 i love seeing dragonflies everywhere
	🥁 1:13pm Michael 98145: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:05 This is the best board i've ever seen. Thanks.
	1:15pm love2laf: ↳ fred @1:10 In the scale of Canada, not so far away, same province, and hubby grew up nearby in Kitchener Waterloo. That's no excuse, not being born is no excuse not to go see your band!
	1:15pm Stork: @Kenzo: you may fire when ready, Gridley!!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:58 This is true. I saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham at The Pasadena Civic Auditorium as part of The Olympics Arts Festival in 1984. Oh yeah, I walked to the show.
	1:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stork, please reload your playlist editor.
	🥁 1:20pm Michael 98145: Shep !!
	1:20pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:19 Just did and got the advisory - updates not possible
	1:22pm adamdoesit: Barkeep, give me a Long Island Iced Passaic, heavy on the mercury!
	1:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Reload again. I'm not ready to do the update right this minute after all. Song updates OK...
	1:23pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:22 Just did 5 secs ago and it's back!! Nice, Kenzo!!
	1:23pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Tune-Up" by "Max Roach" Is Max Roach wearing a salad fork in his hair?
	1:24pm Stork: ↳ chresti @1:23 That is bizarre. Can't make it out.
	1:25pm fred: ↳ love2laf @1:15 I once talked to Art Patten and told him Bill Exley looked and dressed like an uncle who was a French/Latin teacher. He laughed a lot at this and fetched Exley, an English/Latin teacher to chat about the Latin teacher dress code
	1:28pm love2laf: ↳ fred @1:25 Ha! Well spotted.
	🥁 1:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:23 that -is- odd ... i don't think it's a 'tuning fork'
	1:28pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @1:24 I believe Max's head is superimposed over a string bass. You can faintly make out fingers strumming the strings in this image: images.app.goo.gl...
	🥁 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All I ever heard was how Legendary that Jean Shepherd is for Radio ...as a Beatlenerd, became familiar with his article in Playboy about TheBeatles early on when they got to the USA. Today being Ringo's B-Day & all. He was very dismissive. Props maybe for being 'intellectual' enuff to counter the trend - but then he missed what all the Magic about them was. So now I'm agnostic on him...
	1:29pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" There's a periodic bass hum to this recording. At first I thought there was a problem with my a/c or fridge. Is that the tape transport?
	🥁 1:30pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 sorry. we got addicted to his radio shows back in the day.
	1:31pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 He was no pussycat, but wow, what a monologuist.
	🥁 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:30 He's obvsly good @ this.
	1:32pm Stork: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" This was entirely live and unedited.
	1:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, Stork, reload your playlist editor again. Song changes locked out for 20 mins or so!
	1:33pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:32 Yep - OK, I'm out.
	🥁 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:32 Which is a Thing.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Summertime" by "Cedar Walton Hank Mobley Quintet" Been listening on the road, great soundtrack! One thing that struck me is how Mobley, who I'd almost describe as "the anti-Coltrane" early on stylistically, has integrated much Trane into his style by this time.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: OK, been here and gone...thanks Stork!
	🥁 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 ...also was kind of a trend amongst some of the Old Guard (Jazzbos among them) ...before TheBeatles became associated with Innovation & 'Art'...
	🥁 1:36pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:31 But i know what you mean. Steve Allen used to do some cringe-worthy takes on pop music ...
	1:36pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @1:35 doc, glad you enjoyed the Mobley - and see ya!!
	1:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @1:29 Just me? Did I leave the Glen Passaic next to an ungrounded outlet and give myself a 60-cycle hangover?
	🥁 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:36 But then Steve-a-rino went & put Kerouac, Elvis, BlueCheer, TimBuckley & all manner on TV...
	1:38pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" This is magnificent.
	🥁 1:38pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:37 true
	🥁 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:36 ...SteveAllen was overtly a Comic & an Intellectual - so if he read BeBopaLula as 'Poetry' - it was some context. He wasn't calling them Commies or Billies maybe...
	🥁 1:40pm Michael 98145: These shows used to be rebroadcast on KRAB-fm. The beginning of my love affair with freeform radio.
	1:40pm Stork: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:38 Hey, Franco Twinkie!
	1:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:37 I remember sitting on the patio and watching The Youngbloods on Steve Allen.
	1:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" His voice is so different from 20 years later in A Christmas Story
	1:43pm Stork: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:40 It was probably my intro to freeform too, come to think of it!
	🥁 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:38 His energy & imagery & flow are persistent & mellifluous. If the content is 'mundane'. A kind of extraordinary everyman. It's maybe a bit like the difference between me & Kerouac. He Loved the USA in a way I never can after Nixon & Nam & so on. He's like Prairie Home - but I'd rather have a beer with Jean than Keilor by some measure, manner of speaking...
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: His Voice is my least favorite part of this. Tho his control of it to purpose is remarkable. Foley coming out of his face - all sorts of things...
	🥁 1:46pm Michael 98145: ↳ Stork @1:43 Where else could you hear someone reading The Secret Life of Salvador Dali -- chapter by weekly chapter?
	1:46pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:44 My introduction to Jean Shepard was The Phantom of the Open Hearth on the NET, which proceeded PBS in 1971(?)
	1:47pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:43 Yeah, he was really manic in the 60's and 70's.
	🥁 1:49pm Michael 98145: this was -not- typical 1964 radio
	1:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stork, reload your playlist editor. All is back to normal.
	🥁 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe a bridge from an earlier era of Radio Drama ...which I barely heard. Maybe on LPs rarely played...
	🥁 1:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 good point
	1:50pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:49 Super-swell, Kenzo! Thanks, perfectly timed!!
	🥁 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 ...a Beat Era / Modernist sort of version of that. I wonder what Kerouac thot of him...
	1:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ Stork @1:50 I love it when a lack of plan comes together
	1:52pm DJ Peter: Thanks to the Radio Thrift Shop, when I hear the name "Jean Shepherd" I hear "Jean Shepard"
	1:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:46 That happened!? I remember reading The Secret Life Of Salvador Dali when I had the flu. I was laughing so hard I would have to put the book down and fall asleep.
	🥁 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Kerouac Xs Keilor ...or maybe a Keilor minus Kerouac...
	🥁 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:53 I mean rather : Keilor = Shepherd minus a Kerouac. Effectively, that is...
	🥁 1:54pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:52 indeed it did
	🥁 1:56pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:54 i still have my copy
	🥁 1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & props for being that DJ who plays something about Cold when it's Hot. Rather than trying to be On Point by emphasizing more of (miserable) same...
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:56 The most shocking and hilarious thing I ever checked out of the library when I was a teenager.
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: okay i'll stop complaining about the cold now
	2:00pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" Darn there went my whole lunch break, time to open the pharmacy back up, I guess
	🥁 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" Perfectly modulated Performance.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" 9.45 sounds right. it definitely ended at 10.30. ...i remember when my brother and i got busted listening to it after bedtime, which was either 9.30 or 10. they approved of us listening to Jean Shepherd, but had to ask what time it ended. we got the okay.
	2:04pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 The way Sheperd went all over the place and then brought that plane in for a landing every night at precisely 10:00 PM was amazing and inspiring.
	2:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Come Sunday" by "Ben Webster & Joe Zawinul" I saw Weather Report in 1974 at The Santa Monica Civic. It was louder that any rock concert I had been to at that point. I remember Joe Zawinuls keyboard rig was absoulty huge.
	2:06pm Stork: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @2:00 Like being in a nightclub and hearing an act while eating your lunch.
	2:07pm northguineahills: hallos stork and fellow hosers, hope all is perfect, as is the music!
	🥁 2:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:06 Is the Auditorium still there ?
	🥁 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @2:04 A real interesting Balance of the Conversational & the Composed. & Performed in a manner perfectly paced like a Drive somewhere just fast enuff to be interesting without ever being alarmed. Your attention is always Right There.
	2:09pm Stork: ↳ northguineahills @2:07 Hey greetz ad treats, northguineahills!!
	🥁 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:08 ...maybe more NealCassidy than Kerouac. If NealCassidy was from Woebegon not some Wild West derelict's son...
	🥁 2:11pm Michael 98145: This is great. Don't think i've heard much Zawinul ...
	2:11pm Stork: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:03 My dad was a fan, and so i got cut slack on the Sheperd show.Thanks, dad!
	2:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:08 Yes, but they don't have shows anymore, which is a shame because it's a wonderful place. Along with The Hollywood Palladium, it was where all the best music happened when I was young.
	🥁 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...get all my Kazideez spelled right. Neal Leon Cassady. Anyway...
	2:19pm Sem: Love me some Joe in the afternoon.
	🥁 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sem @2:19 We can't go wrong.
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Stork @2:11 mine was into wor radio in the mornings but i don't know about Shepherd specifically... but it's easy to imagine my mother liking Jean. in any case my brother was by far their favorite and was considered "intellectual" (they, apparently clueless to the person they'd actually spawned!) so they probably considered it an intellectual pursuit. -and probably considered what we might have been listening to
	🥁 2:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've never seen 'Leave It To Beaver' either...
	2:23pm Sem: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:20 !
	🥁 2:23pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:15 I vaguely remember seeing Jim Croce w/ Randy Newman there ...
	2:24pm fred: Looks like we dodged a bullet here. To be confirmed. I'll still get another Glen Passaic
	🥁 2:25pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @2:24 ... know the feeling. -anxiety-
	2:25pm Stork: ↳ fred @2:24 Fingers crossed, fred. Speaking of which, two fingers of GP ll around! Is adamdoesit still upright?
	2:28pm love2laf: ↳ fred @2:24 Wow, that's a wonderful piece of hope! Make it 4 fingers Stork it's celebration time!
	2:28pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @2:25 Enough to pick this one up for fred, too, whether in celebration or palliation. He'll return the favor come November…
	2:28pm Sem: ↳ Stork @2:25 What's 2 fingers in metric, anyway?
	🥁 2:30pm Michael 98145: ChatGP sez 60ml
	🥁 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:24 Oh ! Have Elections gone well ?!? The UK seem to have rebounded...
	2:32pm TDK60: Late stop in, Stork.
	🥁 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...earlier News from Europe not so encouraging...
	2:32pm Sem: A Pulaski Skyway Potion Plus would go down well about now, Just kidding, I'll need three strong persons to hold me down, and a large-bore funnel to ingest it, but, hey. Science.
	2:33pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 No majority it seems. Macron could still ally with the far right to sow chaos, he only cares about himself
	🥁 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:33 UhHuh. Thx.
	🥁 2:34pm Michael 98145: Holy wow -- recorded at Mauthausen ?
	2:36pm Stork: ↳ TDK60 @2:32 yo TDK60!
	🥁 2:39pm Michael 98145: do the neoFascists even know what they are trying to unleash?
	2:39pm coelacanth∅: Joe Zawinul's final prize is interesting upload.wikimedia.org...
	2:40pm Stork: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:34 No but all about this Austrian concentration camp that isn't as notorious as some others, but maybe should be at LEAST as notorious. It's a story Zawinul felt was almost unknown. Good on him

July 7, 2024: Hank Mobley, Joe Zawinul, and a Chilling Tale

Georgia-born, Jersey-raised tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley started with Max Roach, recorded a mess of warm and cool Blue Note leader sessions and played with the usual cast of greats over a sadly foreshortened career. We'll just wet our toes briefly in the tide, as we will with the massively prolific Joe Zawinul, Vienna-born pianist, composer, Miles and Cannonball veteran, and co-founder of Weather Report. Plus a story to cool your cockles in this July heat wave.

	🥁 9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♋︎Cancer, Year of Metal 🐎Horse ' Henry Mobley (July 7, 1930 – May 30, 1986) was an American tenor saxophonist and composer. Mobley was described by Leonard Feather as the "middleweight champion of the tenor saxophone", a metaphor used to describe his tone, that was neither as aggressive as John Coltrane nor as mellow as Lester Young, and his style that was laid-back, subtle and melodic, especially in contrast with players such as Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. The critic Stacia Proefrock claimed him "one of the most underrated musicians of the bop era." Mobley's compositions include "Double Exposure", "Soul Station", and "Dig Dis" '... ⦿Sun in ♋︎Cancer, Year of Water 🐒Monkey ' Josef Erich Zawinul (⫽ˈzɒvɪnəl⫽ ZOV-in-əl; 7 July 1932 – 11 September 2007) was an Austrian jazz and jazz fusion keyboardist and composer. First coming to prominence with saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, Zawinul went on to play with Miles Davis and to become one of the creators of jazz fusion, a musical genre that combined jazz with rock. He co-founded the groups Weather Report and The Zawinul Syndicate. He pioneered the use of electric piano and synthesizer, and was named "Best Electric Keyboardist" twenty-eight times by the readers of DownBeat magazine '...

	12:06pm chresti: Greetsings Stork and swells in the bright lights!

	🥁 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Smokin'" by "Hank Mobley" <3 GrantGreenGittar ...these other guys will do also...
	12:24pm love2laf: Sadly, Erin the Kitteh is not getting her Stork Club fix, she's too out of sorts with the car washing. She knows this means hubby will bring mosquitos into the house. There is nothing quite so terrifying to her as mosquitos and black flies.
	12:26pm fred: Greetings Stork and clubbers. I'll have a Glen Passaic to numb my nerves
	12:27pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Cool Blue Notes for a scorcher!
	12:28pm chresti: ↳ love2laf @12:24 Aww I dread the bug season too
	12:30pm Dean: Today is also Ringo Starr's birthday.
	12:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ fred @12:26 I can't check the election news without stumbling across a TdF spoiler, so I'll buy for Fred instead, and make it a triple. Barkeep, a Glen Passaic 3eme Arrondisement for our beleaguered friend!
	12:30pm Stork: ↳ Song: "A Baptist Beat (alternate take)" by "Hank Mobley" Blow, Freddie!!
	12:31pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @12:28 Up here it's either bug season, or snow season. She's got a few more months of this, poor thing.
	12:31pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @12:30 We're with you, fred!! Drink up, and deeply!
	12:32pm Stork: ↳ Dean @12:30 Happy birthday, Mr. Starkey!!
	12:32pm love2laf: ↳ fred @12:26 Have one on me, this has not been a good year for you.
	12:33pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:24 Black flies?! Shudder. Where are y'all again, love2laf?
	12:34pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:33 Northish Ontario, on the west side of Algonquin Park. The blackflies have ceased biting now, thankfully.
	12:34pm fred: ↳ adamdoesit @12:30 Thanks man, I'm skipping a great looking show tonight because I don't want to be outside if the fascists win
	12:39pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:34 You must get a lot of people asking: "hey, do you know that song "Helpless" by Neil Young? He, like, name-checks North Ontario!, So, like, whoah!" --- so I won't be one of those people.
	12:40pm Doug Schulkind: Blakey was absolutely smoking on that one. Skittering around the kit with killer wit.
	12:42pm fred: ↳ love2laf @12:32 It hasn't been that bad. I saw many great dance shows, the open doors day at the Paris art school was finally back to pre-covid form, and I got to meet WFMU DJ Kendra this week. I took a nasty spill, but that's not much, especially compared to the one democracy might take today
	12:42pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:40 Dougie! Ended up picking a lotta Blakey-fied tunes in this set. So, oops-not!
	12:44pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:39 Ha! I am actually close by to where Gordon Lightfoot was born, and continued to come every year to perform in his hometown. Also nearby to Bobcaygeon name checked by The Tragically Hip. I unfortunately know not a single famous musician. @fred and all the Olympics prep which has been going on has made things tough for you to get around. And YAY meeting a WFMU DJ is a great thing <3
	12:44pm Dean: The cover on Message is completely unfamiliar to me. I doubt I've seen it before, but even if I have, the design and style are so unusual. Not exactly Constructivist, but of a family resemblance.
	12:45pm chresti: ↳ love2laf @12:31 www.animalhumanesociety.org...
	12:46pm Stork: Bobcaygeon - interesting name!
	12:47pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @12:45 Thanks chrestikins, can't hurt to try. I think once they're in the house though any warm blooded creature is an easy target.
	12:47pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Little Girl Blue" by "Hank Mobley" Barry Harris, gettin' extra-ruminative!!
	12:48pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Dean @12:44 Dean, I love how the dots on album cover are used to convey a sense of movement and energy. Similar to the deployment of dots on this Art Blakey album cover: images.app.goo.gl...
	12:50pm Dean: The dots on the Mobley add to the stark geometry, too, and balance the angularity. The dots on the Blakey--also new to me--resemble confetti.
	🥁 12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:48 Dots on powerlines a bit like notes on a stave. An interesting interposition imagewise for some kinds of Musics.
	12:54pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:53 You guys are dottie, and I love ya!!
	12:55pm fred: ↳ love2laf @12:44 The Olympics are inconvenient for me (and will get worse), but the ones who really suffer are the unhoused, who are under growing pressure to get out of the (tourist) picture. This campaign is brutal, and will get much worse. Cops can "clean up" the streets, but won't help much with cleaning the Seine river
	12:56pm Dean: The Roach was recorded at Fine Recording Studios, as in Wilma Cozart Fine, who spearheaded the Mercury Records Living Presence series of classical recordings. https://www.preservationsound.com/2012/02/fine-recording-inc-pioneers-in-high-fidelity-studio-recording/
	12:58pm Dean: The Olympics in Los Angeles, 1984, were, aside from the late '70s punk scene, the very best time to be in the city. Everybody was so afraid of endless traffic jams that they high-tailed it out of town. Those of us who stuck around got to enjoy the marvelous Arts Festival associated with all the athletics.
	1:00pm Stork: ↳ Dean @12:56 Thanks, Dean! Those Living Presence LPs are amazing.
	1:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hey Stork and everyone - I'm going to need to temporarily freeze the song updating on the playlist soon, for a little while (maybe 20 mins.). Commenting will keep working! I'll post again here right before I freeze it.
	1:03pm love2laf: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:00 Thanks for letting us know, then we don't bother anyone saying there's a problem!
	1:05pm Stork: Thanks, Kenzo! If you could hold off max 15 minutes before you do your thing, that would be great - otherwise lemme know and i'll post he songs accordingly- thanks!
	1:05pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, you want me to wait until 1:20pm ET, I can do that!
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:05 that would be (chef's fingers) mwah!!!
	1:10pm fred: @love2laf: I guess you're a long way from London, which I only know as the home of the Nihilist Spasm Band, an amazing band. I've seen almost all their shows in Paris, my excuse for the first one being I wasn't born
	🥁 1:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:28 i love seeing dragonflies everywhere
	🥁 1:13pm Michael 98145: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:05 This is the best board i've ever seen. Thanks.
	1:15pm love2laf: ↳ fred @1:10 In the scale of Canada, not so far away, same province, and hubby grew up nearby in Kitchener Waterloo. That's no excuse, not being born is no excuse not to go see your band!
	1:15pm Stork: @Kenzo: you may fire when ready, Gridley!!
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:58 This is true. I saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham at The Pasadena Civic Auditorium as part of The Olympics Arts Festival in 1984. Oh yeah, I walked to the show.
	1:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stork, please reload your playlist editor.
	🥁 1:20pm Michael 98145: Shep !!
	1:20pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:19 Just did and got the advisory - updates not possible
	1:22pm adamdoesit: Barkeep, give me a Long Island Iced Passaic, heavy on the mercury!
	1:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Reload again. I'm not ready to do the update right this minute after all. Song updates OK...
	1:23pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:22 Just did 5 secs ago and it's back!! Nice, Kenzo!!
	1:23pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Tune-Up" by "Max Roach" Is Max Roach wearing a salad fork in his hair?
	1:24pm Stork: ↳ chresti @1:23 That is bizarre. Can't make it out.
	1:25pm fred: ↳ love2laf @1:15 I once talked to Art Patten and told him Bill Exley looked and dressed like an uncle who was a French/Latin teacher. He laughed a lot at this and fetched Exley, an English/Latin teacher to chat about the Latin teacher dress code
	1:28pm love2laf: ↳ fred @1:25 Ha! Well spotted.
	🥁 1:28pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:23 that -is- odd ... i don't think it's a 'tuning fork'
	1:28pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @1:24 I believe Max's head is superimposed over a string bass. You can faintly make out fingers strumming the strings in this image: images.app.goo.gl...
	🥁 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: All I ever heard was how Legendary that Jean Shepherd is for Radio ...as a Beatlenerd, became familiar with his article in Playboy about TheBeatles early on when they got to the USA. Today being Ringo's B-Day & all. He was very dismissive. Props maybe for being 'intellectual' enuff to counter the trend - but then he missed what all the Magic about them was. So now I'm agnostic on him...
	1:29pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" There's a periodic bass hum to this recording. At first I thought there was a problem with my a/c or fridge. Is that the tape transport?
	🥁 1:30pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 sorry. we got addicted to his radio shows back in the day.
	1:31pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 He was no pussycat, but wow, what a monologuist.
	🥁 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:30 He's obvsly good @ this.
	1:32pm Stork: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" This was entirely live and unedited.
	1:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OK, Stork, reload your playlist editor again. Song changes locked out for 20 mins or so!
	1:33pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:32 Yep - OK, I'm out.
	🥁 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:32 Which is a Thing.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Summertime" by "Cedar Walton Hank Mobley Quintet" Been listening on the road, great soundtrack! One thing that struck me is how Mobley, who I'd almost describe as "the anti-Coltrane" early on stylistically, has integrated much Trane into his style by this time.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: OK, been here and gone...thanks Stork!
	🥁 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 ...also was kind of a trend amongst some of the Old Guard (Jazzbos among them) ...before TheBeatles became associated with Innovation & 'Art'...
	🥁 1:36pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:31 But i know what you mean. Steve Allen used to do some cringe-worthy takes on pop music ...
	1:36pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @1:35 doc, glad you enjoyed the Mobley - and see ya!!
	1:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @1:29 Just me? Did I leave the Glen Passaic next to an ungrounded outlet and give myself a 60-cycle hangover?
	🥁 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:36 But then Steve-a-rino went & put Kerouac, Elvis, BlueCheer, TimBuckley & all manner on TV...
	1:38pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" This is magnificent.
	🥁 1:38pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:37 true
	🥁 1:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:36 ...SteveAllen was overtly a Comic & an Intellectual - so if he read BeBopaLula as 'Poetry' - it was some context. He wasn't calling them Commies or Billies maybe...
	🥁 1:40pm Michael 98145: These shows used to be rebroadcast on KRAB-fm. The beginning of my love affair with freeform radio.
	1:40pm Stork: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:38 Hey, Franco Twinkie!
	1:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:37 I remember sitting on the patio and watching The Youngbloods on Steve Allen.
	1:43pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" His voice is so different from 20 years later in A Christmas Story
	1:43pm Stork: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:40 It was probably my intro to freeform too, come to think of it!
	🥁 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:38 His energy & imagery & flow are persistent & mellifluous. If the content is 'mundane'. A kind of extraordinary everyman. It's maybe a bit like the difference between me & Kerouac. He Loved the USA in a way I never can after Nixon & Nam & so on. He's like Prairie Home - but I'd rather have a beer with Jean than Keilor by some measure, manner of speaking...
	🥁 1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: His Voice is my least favorite part of this. Tho his control of it to purpose is remarkable. Foley coming out of his face - all sorts of things...
	🥁 1:46pm Michael 98145: ↳ Stork @1:43 Where else could you hear someone reading The Secret Life of Salvador Dali -- chapter by weekly chapter?
	1:46pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:44 My introduction to Jean Shepard was The Phantom of the Open Hearth on the NET, which proceeded PBS in 1971(?)
	1:47pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:43 Yeah, he was really manic in the 60's and 70's.
	🥁 1:49pm Michael 98145: this was -not- typical 1964 radio
	1:49pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Stork, reload your playlist editor. All is back to normal.
	🥁 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe a bridge from an earlier era of Radio Drama ...which I barely heard. Maybe on LPs rarely played...
	🥁 1:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 good point
	1:50pm Stork: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:49 Super-swell, Kenzo! Thanks, perfectly timed!!
	🥁 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:49 ...a Beat Era / Modernist sort of version of that. I wonder what Kerouac thot of him...
	1:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ Stork @1:50 I love it when a lack of plan comes together
	1:52pm DJ Peter: Thanks to the Radio Thrift Shop, when I hear the name "Jean Shepherd" I hear "Jean Shepard"
	1:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:46 That happened!? I remember reading The Secret Life Of Salvador Dali when I had the flu. I was laughing so hard I would have to put the book down and fall asleep.
	🥁 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Kerouac Xs Keilor ...or maybe a Keilor minus Kerouac...
	🥁 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:53 I mean rather : Keilor = Shepherd minus a Kerouac. Effectively, that is...
	🥁 1:54pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:52 indeed it did
	🥁 1:56pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:54 i still have my copy
	🥁 1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & props for being that DJ who plays something about Cold when it's Hot. Rather than trying to be On Point by emphasizing more of (miserable) same...
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:56 The most shocking and hilarious thing I ever checked out of the library when I was a teenager.
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: okay i'll stop complaining about the cold now
	2:00pm NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" Darn there went my whole lunch break, time to open the pharmacy back up, I guess
	🥁 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" Perfectly modulated Performance.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Great Indiana Blizzard" by "Jean Shepherd" 9.45 sounds right. it definitely ended at 10.30. ...i remember when my brother and i got busted listening to it after bedtime, which was either 9.30 or 10. they approved of us listening to Jean Shepherd, but had to ask what time it ended. we got the okay.
	2:04pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 The way Sheperd went all over the place and then brought that plane in for a landing every night at precisely 10:00 PM was amazing and inspiring.
	2:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Come Sunday" by "Ben Webster & Joe Zawinul" I saw Weather Report in 1974 at The Santa Monica Civic. It was louder that any rock concert I had been to at that point. I remember Joe Zawinuls keyboard rig was absoulty huge.
	2:06pm Stork: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @2:00 Like being in a nightclub and hearing an act while eating your lunch.
	2:07pm northguineahills: hallos stork and fellow hosers, hope all is perfect, as is the music!
	🥁 2:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:06 Is the Auditorium still there ?
	🥁 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @2:04 A real interesting Balance of the Conversational & the Composed. & Performed in a manner perfectly paced like a Drive somewhere just fast enuff to be interesting without ever being alarmed. Your attention is always Right There.
	2:09pm Stork: ↳ northguineahills @2:07 Hey greetz ad treats, northguineahills!!
	🥁 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:08 ...maybe more NealCassidy than Kerouac. If NealCassidy was from Woebegon not some Wild West derelict's son...
	🥁 2:11pm Michael 98145: This is great. Don't think i've heard much Zawinul ...
	2:11pm Stork: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:03 My dad was a fan, and so i got cut slack on the Sheperd show.Thanks, dad!
	2:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:08 Yes, but they don't have shows anymore, which is a shame because it's a wonderful place. Along with The Hollywood Palladium, it was where all the best music happened when I was young.
	🥁 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...get all my Kazideez spelled right. Neal Leon Cassady. Anyway...
	2:19pm Sem: Love me some Joe in the afternoon.
	🥁 2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Sem @2:19 We can't go wrong.
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Stork @2:11 mine was into wor radio in the mornings but i don't know about Shepherd specifically... but it's easy to imagine my mother liking Jean. in any case my brother was by far their favorite and was considered "intellectual" (they, apparently clueless to the person they'd actually spawned!) so they probably considered it an intellectual pursuit. -and probably considered what we might have been listening to
	🥁 2:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've never seen 'Leave It To Beaver' either...
	2:23pm Sem: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:20 !
	🥁 2:23pm Michael 98145: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:15 I vaguely remember seeing Jim Croce w/ Randy Newman there ...
	2:24pm fred: Looks like we dodged a bullet here. To be confirmed. I'll still get another Glen Passaic
	🥁 2:25pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @2:24 ... know the feeling. -anxiety-
	2:25pm Stork: ↳ fred @2:24 Fingers crossed, fred. Speaking of which, two fingers of GP ll around! Is adamdoesit still upright?
	2:28pm love2laf: ↳ fred @2:24 Wow, that's a wonderful piece of hope! Make it 4 fingers Stork it's celebration time!
	2:28pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @2:25 Enough to pick this one up for fred, too, whether in celebration or palliation. He'll return the favor come November…
	2:28pm Sem: ↳ Stork @2:25 What's 2 fingers in metric, anyway?
	🥁 2:30pm Michael 98145: ChatGP sez 60ml
	🥁 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:24 Oh ! Have Elections gone well ?!? The UK seem to have rebounded...
	2:32pm TDK60: Late stop in, Stork.
	🥁 2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...earlier News from Europe not so encouraging...
	2:32pm Sem: A Pulaski Skyway Potion Plus would go down well about now, Just kidding, I'll need three strong persons to hold me down, and a large-bore funnel to ingest it, but, hey. Science.
	2:33pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 No majority it seems. Macron could still ally with the far right to sow chaos, he only cares about himself
	🥁 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:33 UhHuh. Thx.
	🥁 2:34pm Michael 98145: Holy wow -- recorded at Mauthausen ?
	2:36pm Stork: ↳ TDK60 @2:32 yo TDK60!
	🥁 2:39pm Michael 98145: do the neoFascists even know what they are trying to unleash?
	2:39pm coelacanth∅: Joe Zawinul's final prize is interesting upload.wikimedia.org...
	2:40pm Stork: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:34 No but all about this Austrian concentration camp that isn't as notorious as some others, but maybe should be at LEAST as notorious. It's a story Zawinul felt was almost unknown. Good on him
	🥁 2:43pm Michael 98145: many of our local Japanese-American families wound up in camps by Executive Order 9066
	🥁 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:43 Property & Farms taken. Awful.
	🥁 2:46pm Michael 98145: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:44 Yes
	🥁 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:43 ...with First Nations Genocide & Removal & African-American Slavery - too easy to forget that little bit of Constitutional Failure & Human Rights violation...
	2:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @2:40 Thank you, JZ.
	2:48pm fred: Macron must be pissed. His plan was to have the far right in place, resign, then run again
	🥁 2:49pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @2:48 cripes
	2:49pm Stork: Gee it's been swell, oh nellie! Thanks all for the being, and the thing... I will yield to His Muchbettership Lord Charlie Lewis next week. I wish you a Happy Bastille under the baton on Herr Lewis, and will see thee agin upon the 20-foist of July. THANKS YUZ!!!
	2:49pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by "Cannonball Adderley" Wikipedia: "…actually recorded at Capitol's Hollywood studio with an invited audience and an open bar." Apropos for the Stork.
	🥁 2:50pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Stork
	2:51pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @2:49 Have a great day off from the Stork, you'll be missed. Thanks for a great show today! Cheers everyone, was glad I heard about the elections from fred, it was very fitting!
	2:51pm Sem: Thx, the Stork. See you and all next time, w/ luck.
	2:51pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by "Cannonball Adderley" Stork, I seem to recall this Adderley being on the Top 40 radio back then, right in between the soul and rock numbers.
	2:51pm Stork: ↳ TDK60 @2:51 Coulda/Shooulda been!
	🥁 2:52pm Michael 98145: time to hydrate
	2:53pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @2:49 I now - i was kinda bummed to find that out - then thought, wtf? We know too much.
	2:53pm Stork: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:52 WetWetWet!!
	2:54pm Stork: ↳ Sem @2:51 Your Semship, I take my leave of you with a heavy heart and shit.
	2:55pm fred: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:49 The presidential term limit is for consecutive terms in France, resigning would reset the clock. He might still resign, but it's not as clear cut now
	2:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @2:53 Hey, it worked for Soul Finger, and sounds like a party to me. Speaking of which, thanks for the good times, DJ Stork!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Stork take care
	2:57pm TDK60: Danke, Stork.
	🥁 2:57pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @2:55 We are facing a future as Putinstan over here ...
