	9:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Saltz! What a pleasant Saturday morning surprise.
	9:09am newton: Sounds like the quiet joys of brotherhood, richard and mimi fariña
	9:14am morphe': ↳ newton @9:09 "Been Down So Long... It Looks like Up to Me"
	9:16am scribble: Hooray for Bog time :-) Good morning DJ Saltzshaker and all
	9:16am TDK60: ↳ newton @9:09 Hi newton. Yes, the Fariñas set "Brotherhood" to "My Lagan Love"'s tune. So says a good site on folk songs: Mainly Norfolk. mainlynorfolk.info...
	9:16am common: hello!
	9:18am newton: ↳ TDK60 @9:16 Sweet. Looks like he wrote new lyrics but was fully inspired by the traditional song. They recorded it on their album, I think of the same name, then Sandy Denny recorded it a few years later. Gravity's Rainbow was dedicated to him
	9:18am morphe': ↳ Song: "The Month of January" by "Tommy Makem" Old "Blagard" Irish saying: " if ya had the Luck of the Irish ... ya'd wish ye were English instead
	9:19am mountanalog: Of course youre playing this song. Youre lovely
	9:20am dale: really great opening tunes!!
	9:20am Charles in Chicago: Hey hey good morning everyone. A chilly one here in Chicago but it looks like the big storm might miss us
	9:21am Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Sunever" by "Chris Cohen" Love Chris Cohen, esp all the interesting harmonies in his songs
	9:25am Toothgrinder Tom: Will a big storm hit us in the Ny/Nj area? I keep seeing cataclysmic headlines but other than cold weather don’t see anything unusual in the forecast. It’s just winter.
	9:25am Toothgrinder Tom: And when I say ‘just winter’ I mean ‘just glorious winter.’
	9:25am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "The Month of January" by "Tommy Makem" About 40 years ago a friend came visiting NYC and said she had tickets for some Irish musician. I said the only irish musician I knew of was Tommy Makem. She said that's who it was.
	9:25am greg technology: hellllo bogfans
	9:25am saltzshaker: morning all!!
	9:26am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:25 The weather reporters seem to catastrophize every winter storm, it makes for more clicks
	9:26am saltzshaker: ↳ mountanalog @9:19 thank you <3 !
	9:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ 9:18 I’ve often wondered if the luck of the Irish is meant to be ironic.
	9:26am saltzshaker: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @9:07 hi greg!!
	9:26am Don in Tampere: Hi from Finland! Really enjoying the tunes.
	9:28am Toothgrinder Tom: @Charles 9:26 exactly right, that’s the way ‘news’ in general works, it inculcates learned helplessness.
	9:28am chresti: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:26 Aint it the truth!
	9:30am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:26 That said it doesn't look like NJ is in the high-ice region. In some of these more southerly locations they are not really equpped to deal with snow/ice and people don't know how to drive in it, and it can be a real mess s.w-x.co...
	9:31am Fredericks: Ale Hop? Beer?
	9:31am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:28 "Learned helpnessness" is a great phrase. The other day I got in a discussion with somebody who was trying to tell me that there's just nothing you can do to help with the environmental crisis, recycling doesn't help, driving an electric car doesn't help, etc, etc - I refuse to live like that, got to hold on to some sense of agency and hope
	9:32am Don in Tampere: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:30 I grew up in South Carolina, and there was massive chaos every time there was an inch of snow. Now I live in Finland where there is continuous snow for 4-6 months a year and it doesn't stop anything. Though there was a little bit of a plowing backlog a few weeks ago when we got two feet overnight. Usually it's just a few cm at a time and it gradually builds up.
	9:32am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Fredericks @9:31 "Peruvian artist and researcher Alejandra Cárdenas (aka Ale Hop) "
	9:33am Fredericks: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:31 Hope is optimism with a broken heart- Nick Cave (paraphrase)
	9:33am Toothgrinder Tom: @Charles 9:31 that’s the spirit!
	9:33am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Don in Tampere @9:32 Hey Don! How's the mökki?
	9:34am Kevin in Madison: Good morning, y’all. I enjoyed that song by the Godfather of Irish mucus.
	9:34am Mark T: Honk, honk, honk…. We have lots of Canadian Geese down here near Philly and they don’t leave
	9:35am Mark T: I heard your show last year. Favorited it
	9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Fredericks @9:33 Great quote, Fredericks, thanks www.goodreads.com... My heart is broken every day but still I see the beauty in the world and try to be a source of light
	9:35am melinda: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:31 It's easy to fall into that mindset. I feel some hope thinking about different types of regenerative agriculture and soil restoration in general.
	9:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ melinda @9:35 That's the spirit. We need to take that "regenerative" approach into all aspects of life and culture.
	9:40am morphe': ↳ Song: "Bonne Année" by "Ale Hop, Titi Bakorta" Waleked around cities for ages seeing signs "Ale Hop" thinking it was some crap Fake Pub chain only to realize when I finally looked that it was worse ... clothing chain..
	9:42am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:40 Apparently "Cecil McBee" was used as the name of a store in Japan, he sued, I can't remember the outcome
	9:43am luka: omg hi
	9:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @Charles 9:31 just off the top of my head, I would respond to that person that California is a fairly liberal state with an economy so large that often its environmental policies have an effect on the rest of the nation, so don’t despair.
	9:43am Marlboro_Dan: Great start to a morning of birding!
	9:43am morphe': ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:42 Have to look up "Cecil McBee"
	9:43am Don in Tampere: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:33 Hi Charles. I keep putting off going back until the new window is installed in the sauna building. The carpenter my contractor hired was 6 weeks late making the frame, and then still didn't mount the glass. My contractor is gonna mount the glass and install it as soon as he gets over his flu, so hopefully next week. I used the sauna once with some Finnfoam replacing the window but decided not to go back until everything was finished.
	9:45am Fredericks: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:32 Ah, thanks, Charles.
	9:45am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:43 A great jazz bassist
	9:46am Gavlar: These tracks are the perfect soundtrack as I cut all the heads off my dried lavender, harvested from the garden. A long task made further enjoyable :)
	9:50am luka: ↳ Song: "Runs in the Family" by "The Roches" a physical copy of this eluded me forever. finally found one a couple months ago.
	9:50am morphe': ↳ Song: "Runs in the Family" by "The Roches" "My daddy did it ... my Uncle did it ... we left home .." ???
	9:51am annette: @Charles. worked 16 years in nj during many a storm. kept tracks cleaned to keep commuters safe and on time
	9:53am Juli P: Lil bog in the morning!
	9:53am saltzshaker: ↳ Gavlar @9:46 ideal way to listen, sounds lovely!
	9:53am Dan S: There's no bog like a morning bog!
	9:55am Juli P: 9:53 Bog.
	9:57am Dan S: ↳ Juli P @9:55 :-) Happy New Year, Juli!
	9:57am newton: I have to get to work now, but I'll leave this on while Im in there
	9:58am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:50 "Went down", or failed in some way, I think: "I'm going down. My uncle did it; my daddy did it. ... All the boys could have gone to school. All the girls were pretty enough to play the fool Something about the danger zone Wouldn't leave the bunch of us alone." It's a bit ambiguous. Art, y'know.
	9:58am Juli P: ↳ Dan S @9:57 2025 Happy New Year!
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Saltzshaker! I'd have got up earlier if I'd realized you were on the air!
	10:00am Dan S: Also, Happy New Year, Saltzshaker and fellow bog listeners. A very nice fill-in show.
	10:02am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:59 g'morning Handy, happy (20+25)*(20+25)
	10:02am greg g: Sounding great 🧂! Morning All!
	10:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:02 Math! Is there anything it can't do! Morning, Charles!
	10:04am Handy Haversack: That Roches number at Hoof N Mouth was the absolute best.
	10:05am melinda: Aw, I missed your Roches karaoke, which one did you do?
	10:06am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:04 It sure was!
	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ melinda @10:05 "We / Hammond Song": wfmu.org...
	10:08am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)² = 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 Kind of crazy, no? The square of a sum is not sum of cubes in general, but for a seqence 1..n it is - this is the Nichomacus Theorem dating back to the first century - and here's a beautiful proof-by-picture upload.wikimedia.org...
	10:10am saltzshaker: ↳ greg g @10:02 thank you!!
	10:11am saltzshaker: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:04 thanks!! and yes hammond song, I had mid mic break brain freeze. thanks for linking handy!
	10:11am Dan S: ↳ Song: "En ton pays" by "Jean-Paul Filion" Les belle chansons. (I hope I didn't mangle that bit of Francais.)
	10:15am chresti: ↳ Dan S @10:11 is it belle or belles?
	10:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Flâner" by "Meril Wubslin" Won this record during Marathon! It's a good one!
	10:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:08 Ha, nice! Reminds me of trying to cut the tofu block evenly ...
	10:21am Dan S: ↳ chresti @10:15 I believe that it's "belle" and that "les" and the "s" on "chansons" indicate the plural. However, I'm speaking from a few years of high school French, many decades ago.
	10:26am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Dan S @10:21 No, the adjective gets inflected too. "Les Plus Belles Chansons"
	10:27am chresti: ↳ Dan S @10:21 Yes, my knowledge of French is from taking a class in the 80s and spending time there- tres foggy!
	10:27am Dan S: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:26 OK, I stand corrected. Thanks.
	10:27am chresti: ↳ chresti @10:27 *and 90s
	10:29am chresti: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:26 Merci!
	10:30am Charles in Chicago: Adjectives will usually take an "e" ending for a feminine noun, "s" for a plural masculine, and "es" for plural feminine. Of course since it's langauge there are exceptions, like if the adjective already ends with "s" or "x"
	10:32am chresti: Those exceptions are a beast!
	10:33am ßizco ßey: Sexy pedagogues
	10:36am Ben in Newark: Today's show is great preparation for a winter hike. Liz and I are heading out soon to hike the Highlands Trail in northern NJ
	10:37am Mark T: Great show today.
	10:39am Brian from Charlottesville: I stumbled upon this show today. I’m an fmu listener from way back. I’ve never heard this program before and I’m completely enthralled. Thank you.
	10:39am saltzshaker: ↳ Mark T @10:37 thanks Mark!
	10:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ben in Newark @10:36 Also great preparation for making a vegan strata and scooping the cat boxes. This show can do it all!
	10:42am Nate K: What a nice surprise; sounds great!
	10:43am saltzshaker: ↳ Nate K @10:42 thanks so much Nate!!
	10:45am saltzshaker: ↳ Brian from Charlottesville @10:39 aw that means a lot, thanks Brian! be sure to check out the archives :)
	10:48am Mark T: ↳ Song: "A5" by "Matthewdavid" What an amazing, eclectic, set.
	10:50am ßizco ßey: SLUG ASSAULT
	10:51am Charles in Chicago: Thanks Salzshaker for the great show and all listeners for the great chat. This made my morning.
	10:52am luka: hurry back, Salzshaker!!
	10:52am Otto: Luv the birds! Have a killer weekend
	10:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Saltzshaker! So glad you made a fill-in!
	10:53am JeremyB: We miss you Saltzshaker! Thanks for a fantastic show!
	10:53am Corey: Thanks, Saltzshaker! Loved the show. Ideal way to kick off this wintry day in Michigan.
	10:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Saltz. May 2025 bring you a bog full of happiness.
	10:54am chresti: Such a nice surprise, saltzhaker! Please come back soonest!
	10:54am Ben in Newark: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:40 Very true! On a separate note, I heard you're in need of a M Feelings t-shirt. I have an unworn M ordered by mistake (doesn't fit), could send it your way
	10:54am Fredericks: This has been interesting.
	10:55am garlic__lover: Been liking this show this morning, first time tuning in
	10:58am mountanalog: Thank you!!!! 🧂🪩🐸♥️

	9:35am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Fredericks @9:33 Great quote, Fredericks, thanks www.goodreads.com... My heart is broken every day but still I see the beauty in the world and try to be a source of light
	9:35am melinda: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:31 It's easy to fall into that mindset. I feel some hope thinking about different types of regenerative agriculture and soil restoration in general.
	9:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ melinda @9:35 That's the spirit. We need to take that "regenerative" approach into all aspects of life and culture.

	9:42am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:40 Apparently "Cecil McBee" was used as the name of a store in Japan, he sued, I can't remember the outcome
	9:43am luka: omg hi
	9:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @Charles 9:31 just off the top of my head, I would respond to that person that California is a fairly liberal state with an economy so large that often its environmental policies have an effect on the rest of the nation, so don’t despair.
	9:43am Marlboro_Dan: Great start to a morning of birding!
	9:43am morphe': ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:42 Have to look up "Cecil McBee"
	9:43am Don in Tampere: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:33 Hi Charles. I keep putting off going back until the new window is installed in the sauna building. The carpenter my contractor hired was 6 weeks late making the frame, and then still didn't mount the glass. My contractor is gonna mount the glass and install it as soon as he gets over his flu, so hopefully next week. I used the sauna once with some Finnfoam replacing the window but decided not to go back until everything was finished.
	9:45am Fredericks: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:32 Ah, thanks, Charles.
	9:45am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:43 A great jazz bassist

	9:57am newton: I have to get to work now, but I'll leave this on while Im in there
	9:58am Charles in Chicago: ↳ morphe' @9:50 "Went down", or failed in some way, I think: "I'm going down. My uncle did it; my daddy did it. ... All the boys could have gone to school. All the girls were pretty enough to play the fool Something about the danger zone Wouldn't leave the bunch of us alone." It's a bit ambiguous. Art, y'know.
	9:58am Juli P: ↳ Dan S @9:57 2025 Happy New Year!
	9:59am Handy Haversack: Saltzshaker! I'd have got up earlier if I'd realized you were on the air!

	10:04am Handy Haversack: That Roches number at Hoof N Mouth was the absolute best.

	10:06am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:04 It sure was!
	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ melinda @10:05 "We / Hammond Song": wfmu.org...
	10:08am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)² = 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 Kind of crazy, no? The square of a sum is not sum of cubes in general, but for a seqence 1..n it is - this is the Nichomacus Theorem dating back to the first century - and here's a beautiful proof-by-picture upload.wikimedia.org...
	10:10am saltzshaker: ↳ greg g @10:02 thank you!!
	10:11am saltzshaker: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:04 thanks!! and yes hammond song, I had mid mic break brain freeze. thanks for linking handy!
	10:11am Dan S: ↳ Song: "En ton pays" by "Jean-Paul Filion" Les belle chansons. (I hope I didn't mangle that bit of Francais.)
	10:15am chresti: ↳ Dan S @10:11 is it belle or belles?
	10:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Flâner" by "Meril Wubslin" Won this record during Marathon! It's a good one!
	10:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:08 Ha, nice! Reminds me of trying to cut the tofu block evenly ...
	10:21am Dan S: ↳ chresti @10:15 I believe that it's "belle" and that "les" and the "s" on "chansons" indicate the plural. However, I'm speaking from a few years of high school French, many decades ago.
	10:26am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Dan S @10:21 No, the adjective gets inflected too. "Les Plus Belles Chansons"
	10:27am chresti: ↳ Dan S @10:21 Yes, my knowledge of French is from taking a class in the 80s and spending time there- tres foggy!
	10:27am Dan S: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:26 OK, I stand corrected. Thanks.
	10:27am chresti: ↳ chresti @10:27 *and 90s
	10:29am chresti: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:26 Merci!
	10:30am Charles in Chicago: Adjectives will usually take an "e" ending for a feminine noun, "s" for a plural masculine, and "es" for plural feminine. Of course since it's langauge there are exceptions, like if the adjective already ends with "s" or "x"
	10:32am chresti: Those exceptions are a beast!
	10:33am ßizco ßey: Sexy pedagogues
	10:36am Ben in Newark: Today's show is great preparation for a winter hike. Liz and I are heading out soon to hike the Highlands Trail in northern NJ
