WFMU: Irene Trudel: Playlist from March 10, 2014

Listener comments!
	12:06pm v k: ahh, the post-Marathon Irene program is a favorite
	12:06pm stavros: CAT!!!!!
	12:07pm kat330: Greetings, Irene and real Ireneans!
	12:07pm Mdurek: Nice meeting you last week, Irene! Glad to hear Sun Ra :D
	12:08pm kat330: Fun photos.
	12:09pm Whooda: I'm not Irenian but I am open to a conversion.
	12:09pm van: Happy Monday Irene and all
	12:10pm KP: Good morning, Irene.
	12:10pm pierre: `Bonjour Irene !
	12:10pm Mdurek: @vk , it's a relief too...agreed! Both that they got funding and we can all just appreciate the music :)
	12:11pm kat330: "Wold" is an Old English term for a forest or an area of woodland on high ground. But no reason it can't be heliocentric, too. ;)
	12:13pm Andrew Waterloo: It is a relief.
	12:13pm Irene Trudel: Good morning all! I think I'm sort of awake. Nice seeing (and meeting) a bunch of you at last night's Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia finale to WFMU's Marathon. Thanks to all who made a pledge to keep us going for another year!!! We are truly grateful.
	12:14pm common: cute kitty...with the cone of shame. awwwww.
	12:14pm stavros: It's really a testament to their programming that WFMU can pull off such a short fund raising drive every year.
	12:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Is that kitty sleeping on a WFMU hoodie?
	🥁 12:21pm Brian in UK: @kat the Lincolnshire Wolds are probably the most well known over here.
	12:21pm dc pat: Fantastic noise from Mr. Ra.
	12:21pm kirk from beer city usa: yay kitties!
	12:21pm mariano: I kind of miss the marathon, to be honest: for the first time in almost 20 years of listening, I was able to stay almost constantly tuned in because I've been working from home. It was like being on an FMU cruise.
	12:22pm Cheri Pi: FLOYD
	12:23pm v k: nice Floyd track - this one reminds me of "Live at Pompeii" documentary
	12:23pm kat330: @Brian: Not Nottinghamshire and Sherwood?
	12:24pm AndrewC.: Cotswolds, surely?
	12:24pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Hi Irene, hello one and all.
	🥁 12:25pm KevinfromBayRidge: hello all, Hope our feline friend doesn't mess with Mouse pledges! Great Marathon Irene. Now just do what you do so well!
	12:25pm kat330: Love the sun-centric theme, Irene. It's a sunny day in So IN, up to nearly 70 today. And speaking of sun-centric programs: Anyone not within distance of the H&M last night catch the newest incarnation of "Cosmos"?
	🥁 12:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: it's on the DVR, Kat
	12:27pm Andrew Waterloo: Is that a new series or a re-release of the original?
	12:27pm Whooda: Ummagumma. Now I am a convert. I revel in my Irenianess!
	🥁 12:28pm Brian in UK: @AndrewC Ofcourse. @kat Lincs is adjacent to Notts.
	12:28pm kat330: @Kevin: The first ep is understandably laying down a foundation -- clearly the programs are meant for schoolchildren to watch in class -- but I'm hopeful it will be as engrossing as Sagan was.
	12:30pm kat330: @Andrew: New series with Tyson. I noticed he did not say "BIIILLLions!"
	12:30pm van: Love this album
	🥁 12:31pm KevinfromBayRidge: Think I first heard this on a label sampler in the very early 70s. It didn't get better for them after this.
	12:32pm Andrew Waterloo: @kat330, cool, Tyson doesn't have Sagan's wonderfully sedative voice.
	12:32pm Bubba: Thank you, Irene.
	12:32pm Irene Trudel: Yes, kitties! The "cone of shame" is gone and my friend 'Nello is content to dream of mousies, not chasing down mouse pledges-- although he would not turn one down after the fact.
	12:36pm Mdurek: Nice tune. Like the books with pop structure and a new sweet female vocalist
	12:41pm Mdurek: Love Leo Kottke, got to see him in a small venue in high school. This it was Club Bené.
	12:42pm kat330: Just heard the other day from a local DJ the derivation of the word "Ummagumma." Better late than never.
	12:42pm van: Julie plays a cover of the Floyd tune that is wonderful if you've never heard it. Its by "Black Fortress of Opium"
	🥁 12:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: @Kat. Thanks for the info. 0ff the board now. Going for a post-marathon run on still gray & 44F NY Harbor with my Sony m80v on 91.1
	🥁 12:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: CRIMMMMMMMMMS0N!!!!
	12:44pm kat330: Enjoy, Kevin!
	12:46pm Irene Trudel: @Mdurek, I'm going to see Leo Kottke tonight at City Winery in NYC. One of the few people that I would drag myself to see the day after the Hoof & Mouth. Robert Fripp might be anotehr, but I'll settle for this King Crimson track.
	12:47pm kat330: @Irene: Will the entire solar system be represented today? Was lucky to see Kottke in concert early in his career. Leon Redbone opened for him.
	12:49pm serge z: Hey Irene,it was great working with you last night, paying for it now being hung over and half asleep at work, at least i can still listen to your show
	12:49pm kat330: @Lovecraft: Ohhh, that's not what WFPK DJ Duke claims. I mean, maybe that was where the sound-syllables were taken, but purportedly they named the LP after the term one of their roadies used for "making whoopie."
	12:51pm don: Some of the best rock drumming ever on this Crimson album by Mike Giles-
	12:51pm Irene Trudel: @kat, I don't know where this show will go. Suffice to say my head has stars whirling around inside. Speaking of stars-- sorry I missed Cosmos last night. I'm a fan of astronomy and loved the original with Carl Sagan. I'll be interested in seeing where Neil deGrasse Tyson takes it.
	12:53pm Irene Trudel: @serge, thanks so much! You did a fantastic job with monitors for the H&M. I think we're all paying for last night a bit today.
	12:53pm northguineahills: Dig this Krimson. Perfect for my mood.
	12:54pm Whooda: Irene I REALLY appreciate your show today. Just perfect.
	12:56pm kat330: @Irene: Interesting that Neil said "we are all made of star stuff." I was finishing his sentence instead with "stardust" and thinking of Joni's "Woodstock."
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks, @Whooda! Trying to keep it light & dreamy.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: @kat, if I remember right, Carl Sagan used that phrase a lot in the original Cosmos series. A tribute to his vision perhaps?
	12:58pm common: @Irene: i love the original cosmos. interested in the new one. no one can beat carl sagan, though.
	12:59pm V Priceless: wonderful set!
	1:00pm kat330: The whole series is a tribute to his mentor. Near the end he explains the wonderful connection he made with Sagan when he was only 17 (Tyson, that is).
	1:01pm van: Carl Sagan was awesome. So was Cosmos.
	1:02pm Mark: This Pharaoh Sanders is awf the hook!
	1:02pm kat330: Really digging this Sanders.
	1:03pm kat330: Guess I owe you a beverage of choice, Mark.
	1:03pm Irene Trudel: @van, agreed. One of my all-time favorite series. Hoping the new series "pushes" further out into that universe.
	1:10pm still b/p: Sometimes, in the original, just the Sagan-speak sound could be entertaining -- as in, if I remember correctly, "Even in the upper levels of its atmosphere, Venus is a thoroughly nasty place."
	1:11pm Mdurek: @irene, Holy moly! That's awesome. Enjoy. Leo is a sip of the finest latte. I figured out one of his songs in high school. Would love to see Fripp too. :)
	1:12pm earrie: Very lovely gentle sounds.
	1:13pm van: Meanwhile, as I've been letting the world know, I had the best dream ever, last night. KaTe Bush was a guest in my house for some reason, and sang to me! In my dream, she actually wrote a song for me and sang part of it to me! It was heavenly. I asked her if it was going on a new album and she kind of laughed and said it wasn't that good. ha! And then I had to wake up. With quite a smile on my face though.
	🥁 1:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, that's a nice dream
	1:15pm Mark: You MUST find "Glorious Dawn" by Carl Sagan on youtube and play it. If you don't understand the reference, just google it and you'll understand...
	1:15pm van: I'm just glad I actually remembered it!
	1:16pm Cheri Pi: Mr CP and I are now considering buying a TV just for Cosmos. sad to have missed it.
	1:16pm kat330: @Van: Quite the dream! :)
	1:17pm Mark: I went to see Leo Kottke once and I spent the first half hour looking for the bass player who wasn't there--it was Leo playing the bass notes himself.
	1:17pm kat330: @Sean: Soon enough you'll be living out your dream. Excited yet?
	1:18pm Sigurdur: yeah loving that dream ... Way da go Van
	🥁 1:22pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Kat, April 1st can't come soon enough, three weeks tomorrow. back to the country I love
	1:23pm dc pat: Van: do you remember the song though?? I get lots of ideas from dreams--even song and lyrics.
	1:24pm Irene Trudel: @Sean, I keep meaning to write back. Glad you're going to see our "Mets" opening day. Peter & I would love to find time to see you when you're back in NYC.
	1:25pm Mdurek: @Mark . Right! He's like in a smaller niche. More punk than classical in attitude, more classical than punk in technique. No disrespect to classical or punk musicians.
	1:25pm Mdurek: Oh man. Can you believe Ralph Kiner passed? His passing re-ignited my Mets fandom.
	1:25pm kat330: Only dream of a "celeb" I've had recently involved David Letterman. He's popped up before, too. Huh, can't figure what that's about.
	🥁 1:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: My trip is never complete unless I get to see you, Irene
	1:26pm mariano: Ya know, wasn't gonna say this, but I never remember my dreams. Except that the other night during a portion of a dream I looked in a mirror and I was Gregory Peck! No idea what the hell that means.
	1:27pm van: @dc pat - nope, sure don't. Wish I did. She did show me a sheet of music / lyrics but I don't recall that either, just that she did.
	1:27pm Mike East: this show is hitting the spot today...I, too, am a bit hungover
	🥁 1:27pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mdurek, that's a nice touch from The Mets where they are wearing a patch on their uniforms in honour of Ralph
	🥁 1:28pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, did you ask if Kate could do a couple of live concerts?
	1:29pm van: @mariano - reminds me of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke: Doc, every morning I wake up, look at myself in the mirror, and I want to throw up! What's wrong with me?! Doc - I don't know but your eyesight is perfect! Ba-dum! @Sean - I woke up too soon!
	1:31pm mariano: @van: good one! Wish Kate Bush would haunt my dreams. Dangerfield also said "I'm so ugly that when I die they're gonna donate my body to science fiction!"
	1:33pm Mark: So true, Mdurek. He talked a lot between songs. He was funny as hell. Did I mention that he was really drunk? I mean REALLY drunk. So he was this funny drunk guy, telling these hilarious stories, then he'd play a song like friggin' Segovia. Very cool.
	1:33pm van: ha
	1:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Rena Effendi photos for your enjoyment - www.refendi.com...
	1:33pm Mark: Irene, this is a really beautiful set today. I mean the whole show is just gorgeous.
	1:34pm Van in DC: I rarely ever log in to here, but since KaTe is so on my brain today...
	1:38pm Van in DC: Amen Mark!
	🥁 1:41pm Sean in Bristol UK: A stonking set, to use one of fav local colloquialisms
	🥁 1:42pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, how awesome is this, the wonderful Kate, thank you Irene
	1:42pm Irene Trudel: @Van, great suggestion! Love Kate, and she fits right in today.
	1:42pm Mark: "Aerial" is a masterpiece. So grossly overlooked. Thank you for shining a light on it, Irene.
	🥁 1:44pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mark, I heartily agree, wasn't there a 12 year gap between Aerial and her previous album?
	1:44pm Cecile: Im' not much of a fan, but I really like the later stuff I've heard of hers.
	1:45pm Van in DC: KATE! THANK YOU Irene! :) :)
	1:46pm Van in DC: and I had stepped out for just a minute to get some hot tea...wow.
	1:47pm Cecile: yes, Sean. My friends who were KB fans were besides themselves when it came out.
	1:48pm Van in DC: And now there are recent rumblings in the KaTeverse about something in the works...
	🥁 1:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, what have you heard, I am all ears
	1:49pm Cecile: the faithful wait for the puff of white smoke above her English farmhouse.
	1:49pm V Priceless: haha
	1:50pm Mark: Oh no you DIDN'T Irene! I told you it rocked!!!
	1:50pm Van in DC: ha ha, just so Cecile. Just so. @Sean - just rumblings, recently, nothing concrete...
	1:50pm Cecile: this is awesome. Irene, did you watch the new Cosmos last night?
	1:51pm mariano: Ho-ly shite, this Sagan is awesome!!!
	1:51pm Van in DC: Wow, this is great!
	1:52pm kat330: @Irene: Thanks for bring our discussion full circle. An orbit, so to speak.
	1:52pm Van in DC: I have to jump off here in a few minutes for the rest of the day...back to back meetings. So I'll get my thanks Irene! in early.
	1:52pm mariano: To bake an apple pie you must first create the universe. What an amazing line, really sucker punched me.
	1:52pm V Priceless: yeah..diggin' this lots!
	1:52pm Cecile: they also ran a bunch of old Cosmos before the new one. I fought back tears.
	1:53pm Parq: If I may, an old favorite of mine: 25.media.tumblr.com...
	1:53pm still b/p: Mash this up with Mister Rogers Garden of Your Mind and you got some big fun.
	1:53pm Irene Trudel: @Mark, I'd never heard this Sagan remix before. Thanks for bringing it up!
	🥁 1:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wow, what a set, magnificent.
	1:54pm V Priceless: sorry if anyone may have already discussed this, but the film "Contact" still blows my mind to this day.
	1:55pm Mark: I'm so excited you found it! Isn't it a riot?
	1:56pm kat330: Thanks, Parq! Clearly I misspelled it earlier in comments. ;)
	1:58pm ?: 2014 SIN-fonia Video availability? Any idea where we can enjoy the Sinfonia Videos? Thanks
	1:58pm Prashanth: @V Priceless: The movie 'contact' had an honesty to the way it portrays a parallel possibility. That honesty is why many remember it lovingly. The same honesty is shared by 'Gravity'
	1:59pm mariano: I was really blown away by the historic footage from the early 90s.
	2:00pm mariano: Historic FMU footage during last night's finale, I mean.
	2:00pm Cecile: My husband really enjoyed the book.
	2:01pm Irene Trudel: Oh, yeah! Contact was really special too, having another Sagan connection.
	2:02pm Mark: One beautiful song after another today, Irene. Ralph Towner is so amazing.
	2:03pm v k: adoring the Ralph Tower
	2:04pm mariano: This Towner's great, don't really know him, but it reminds me of some of John McLaughlin's forays into Spanish music. Really lovely.
	2:05pm Cecile: when Neil DeGrasse Tyson talked about his first meeting with Sagan when he was a HS kid at the end of the new Cosmos, I was verklempt
	2:05pm Prashanth: ahh...its so relaxing to hear this after a tiring day at work...my evening's made
	2:06pm Irene Trudel: @mariano, Ralph is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. He originally was with the ensemble Oregon but has many albums to his credit.
	2:08pm Mike East: getting an absurd amount of sales and robot calls at work today. There was a New Yorker article on Neil Degrasse Tyson a few weeks ago. worth a read.
	2:09pm Danne D: Hi Folks :) I see that the station is like $2200 or so from the goal now. As much as I love Irene and Scott, there'd be something really fun about the station hitting the mark during Jim Price's show :D
	2:10pm Mark: Also worth mentioning that Ralph plays piano, too. I loved how all the guys in Oregon played a number of instruments, and they'd switch around. They used to let each member call the set on successive nights, the only rule being that the set had to feature each player playing each of his instruments at least once. They were a great, great group. I'm sorry I never got the chance to see them live.
	2:11pm don B.: I'm streaming today....thanks for attending my show last week. Mark, Matt and i love you dearly....
	2:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Neil DeGrasse Tyson was on NPR the other day - www.npr.org...
	2:12pm mariano: Thanks for the info, Irene and Mark!
	2:13pm V Priceless: (...i am floating in the deep recesses of space....i'll call you back)
	2:13pm Mark: Wow, here's ANOTHER great guitar player I haven't heard in a while--John Abercrombie. Nice. I love you and Matt, too, Don.
	2:16pm Irene Trudel: @Mark, I was lucky enough to help engineer a concert with Oregon for New Sounds a number of years ago. Ralph played piano at that one. As I recall, his guitar got lost by the airline, and a friend of one of our engineers brought one down for him to play. Great guys, and a really nice set.
	2:17pm kat330: Mmm, this is graceful and ravishing.
	2:18pm Irene Trudel: Oh, and John Abercrombie is another favorite guitarist too. He has a great ensemble and is well worth seeing.
	2:18pm Planet Tyler: O that must be a singing saw...
	2:18pm Mark: I'm always amazed when someone is a master at one instrument, then they just turn around and play ANOTHER instrument, too. Very impressive. Great story.
	🥁 2:18pm Sean in Bristol UK: I do love the sound of a theramin
	🥁 2:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: On a completely different note, wish we could have moved our clocks forward over the weekend
	2:23pm Planet Tyler: Too precise to be a theramin - saw.
	2:24pm mariano: When does the UK move forward?
	2:24pm Santos L Halper: Lovely set (and show) Irene. Will have to investigate Rossi et al
	2:25pm Santos L Halper: Bossi et al
	🥁 2:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mariano, last weekend in March
	2:26pm Mark: I liked when Daylight Savings Time was just a summer thing. It's still dark out when I go to work now.
	2:28pm still b/p: When Oregon was playing Berklee Performance Center in Boston one night in the 70s, friends and I were outside when the crowd exited for a fire alarm. We had not been inside for the show -- don't remember why, because our interest had brought us there in the first place -- but we mixed in with the re-entering patrons and enjoyed the rest of it. There's the confession. Now I need absolution.
	2:28pm Prashanth: @Mariano: That should be March 31.
	2:30pm V Priceless: wow - what a great gig! Much respect for Procol Harum!
	2:30pm Mdurek: Ring ring telephone!!!!
	2:30pm Whooda: Carl Sagan and Timothy Leary link on BoingBoing as we speak boingboing.net
	2:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It would be fun to see Procol Harum at the Felt Forum.
	2:31pm tomasz.: this is a real chill show. needed this today. thanks, Irene
	2:31pm Parq: By the way, Irene, I was at that Procal show at the Felt Forum too. Yes, JDS managed to hold the crowd's attention admirably.
	2:31pm kat330: Irene, maybe there's a crumb under your "r" on the keyboard? I've had that happen when a certain key just doesn't cooperate even when struck. [as in Wold and Rathbun?]
	2:34pm Irene Trudel: @kat, I never said I was a good typist :)
	2:35pm Whooda: @Kat330 I recently replaced the keyboard on my seven year old laptop and quickly discoverd that a few of the keys are slightly different in shape, size or placement. The agravation is unbearable because three of those 'different' keys are: enter, tab and delete. Arrrggh!
	2:35pm Mdurek: @Mark Aerial is awesome. @ Sean yes glad he's getting attention for his role.
	2:36pm kat330: :) Aw, just teasing you. What you excel at, "sound soul sister," is very evident in today's program!
	2:36pm V Priceless: @ Irene / Parq: any special recollections of the late great B.J. Wilson from that Procol show? IMHO the finest drummer ever!
	2:36pm Mdurek: This line has a tail like My Sherona right? Is it just me? :)
	2:37pm kat330: And just slip-sliding away on this dusty road...
	2:37pm Irene Trudel: I know, kat! Your comments are always in the spirit of things here.
	🥁 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Irene, it isn't much but topped my pledge up with $15, maybe your wonderful Trukeepers fancies doing the same.
	2:41pm David: Sounds like the same chords as Watch the Sunrise.
	2:43pm kat330: The Jeff doppeganger! Finally managed to compose my tribute to Buckley, albeit only an instrumental lament at this time. Maybe some day I can write lyrics worthy of the subject.
	2:45pm kat330: (Eeesh, I certainly can't talk about anyone else's typing! doppeLganger, s.b. above and earlier bringING :)
	2:45pm Doug Schulkind: WFMU is less than $500 from reaching the goal!
	🥁 2:47pm Sean in Bristol UK: Trukeepers, $500 is reachable before the end of Irene's show,
	2:47pm Van in DC: Wow! And Hi Doug!
	2:47pm Danne D: $64 :) Still kinda like to see it happen in the minute show ;)
	2:47pm Danne D: (But of course Irene is 100% worth of the honor) :)
	2:48pm Mdurek: @David, never heard it, but may check it out!
	2:48pm Doug Schulkind: Hey Van!
	2:49pm Parq: V-Priceless, yes I remember being knocked out (all of 17 years old) by Procal's drummer and carrying him on my "best drummers" list for years. Doug, some of the volunteers were talking last night about how pledges were likely to continue coming in even after the gong. Was it last year or the year before when goal was made in the middle of Scott's show? Reason to be optimistic that this year will be another of the same.
	2:49pm Parq: Unless, yes, Irene shows her usual mettle and pulls a clutch performance now.
	2:51pm Van in DC: WOW! WOOF! MOO! Way to go!!!!!!!!!
	2:51pm Danne D: goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL
	2:51pm Andrew Waterloo: Hey, the station reached the goal
	2:51pm Doug Schulkind: Did it!!!!~!!!
	2:51pm Danne D: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :) GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL :)
	2:51pm mariano: WOO HOO!!!
	2:52pm common: woo hoo!
	2:52pm V Priceless: Hey! Great News! Congrats to all!!
	2:52pm Van in DC: Ken's tail is really wagging now! Someone get to his office ASAP with a camera!
	2:52pm Parq: Hah! Spoke too soon. Congrats, Irene, it's all you!
	2:52pm Andrew Waterloo: Wasn't last year the first time they made the goal at the ring of the gong in awhile?
	2:52pm Danne D: $1,200,011 now :)
	2:53pm Danne D: @Andrew yes - it was the first time in 3 or 4 years
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Listener "Brian in UK" put us over with a $75 pledge at 2:50 (EDT)!!!!!!
	2:53pm kat330: Great show, Irene. Thanks!
	2:53pm Danne D: Brian in UK should get a prize for that :D
	2:53pm Van in DC: It's okay everyone. It's just something got in your eye. BRIAN! What an honor!
	2:54pm Ken: Woohooo! Thanks everybody!
	2:54pm Irene Trudel: WooHoo! Thanks everyone for Supporting WFMU (and, of course, for listening).
	2:55pm Danne D: Cars are moving :)
	2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Don't blow the extra $11 in one place!
	2:55pm tomasz.: here's a health to Brian! congratulations everyone
	2:55pm Monica: wow - xlent!!!
	2:56pm Danne D: That extra $11 coulda bought you a taylor ham sandwich, tomasz ;)
	🥁 2:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: That's fantastic, the goal has been reached, I have never seen both tails wag
	2:56pm 12539: Thanks, Irene. (and a big woof-moo to the station!)
	2:57pm Joe McG: www.youtube.com...
	2:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Check out the main page...the traffic is flowing freely now.
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: CONGRATULATIONS, WFMU!!!! LONG LIVE LISTENER-SUPPORTED FREEFORM RADIO!!!
	2:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): group exhale
	2:59pm Mark: Well done Brian in UK! Let me express my love for Procol Harum, too. The first two albums I ever bought were "In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" and "Shine on Brightly." Never saw 'em live, though. :(
	🥁 3:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: A fab, fab show Irene and to reach the goal on your show, icing on the cake, thank you Irene
	3:00pm mariano: Brian, what an honor you have indeed!!!
	11:05pm Van in DC: Okay, about that KaTe Bush dream....I was about to crash tonight and suddenly the whole thing came flooding back at me. I had to get up to note it here. While I don't remember the tune or lyrics, here is what I remember, and this is the first time EVER I have had a dream with the Goddess KaTe in my dreams (and it so goes with your show theme!): In my house, I notice none other than KaTe Bush roaming around. No idea how or why. But as a HUGE KaTe Fan I am DYING to tell somebody. I don't. After a time, I approach KaTe, finally, to let her know that I have been silent, and have told nobody she is here, not even my closest friends, or those I know are also KaTe fans. I ask her to consider that, how loyal I have been, and ask her if she might be recording something new? Can you please share ANYTHING with me as a reward? (songwise I mean, this is G rated) She smiles and relents and asks me to follow her to her room...in my house...she pulls out a sheet of music, which she had been composing. It is not typical music at all. It is a bunch of vertical lines down a page, not "musical" in the true sense, but meaningful to KaTe. She starts to sing a little of it, and notes that it is not traditional, but sing-song voice type of music. It was wonderful. And THEN she starts to sing a true traditional song to me that was Heavenly. It was pretty brief, not more than four or so lines. She told me with a shockingly shy smile that she had been writing it for ME. I asked her then if she intended it for a new album...? She told me, again shyly, no, that it wasn't near good enough for anything like that. And then the kindest fate ever turned cruel and I awoke. Or perhaps that was the kindest thing? If I hadn't, would I ever had remembered any of that once in a lifetime dream? I doubt it. That. Was. Incredible. So incredible I just wanted to share. And I am not making any of this up. I feel like God granted me a wish that I didn't even know I really was wishing. Hoping for many happy returns.....in 3...2...1....
	3:37pm Van in DC: TALK ABOUT GOD GRANTING ME A WISH!! Did I have a premonition of Kate performing Live??? WOW. AND I GOT A TICKET!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:05pm Van in DC: Well. Anyway. I want to say that my dream about KaTe was real. It was days before she announced the live shows. I had no idea. I never suspected. When I found out from Doug Schulkind on his GTDR radio show on Friday that KaTe was "touring", I was blown away. That was well after all of this. I do not believe in coincidence. I have never, ever dreamed of KaTe before, especially not a dream so real, so life-like. It was surreal. On several levels, I think I experienced a miracle. At least three that I can think of (levels that is). I am THRILLED to have a lone solitary ticket to go see KaTe! It is a dream come true, it is a LIFE EVENT. It is what I have been living for. This is it. THANK YOU GOD for giving me the dream...I failed to interpret it, who could have? Nobody. Nevertheless - THANK YOU. September 10th can't come fast enough.

Listener comments!
	12:06pm v k: ahh, the post-Marathon Irene program is a favorite
	12:06pm stavros: CAT!!!!!
	12:07pm kat330: Greetings, Irene and real Ireneans!
	12:07pm Mdurek: Nice meeting you last week, Irene! Glad to hear Sun Ra :D
	12:08pm kat330: Fun photos.
	12:09pm Whooda: I'm not Irenian but I am open to a conversion.
	12:09pm van: Happy Monday Irene and all
	12:10pm KP: Good morning, Irene.
	12:10pm pierre: `Bonjour Irene !
	12:10pm Mdurek: @vk , it's a relief too...agreed! Both that they got funding and we can all just appreciate the music :)
	12:11pm kat330: "Wold" is an Old English term for a forest or an area of woodland on high ground. But no reason it can't be heliocentric, too. ;)
	12:13pm Andrew Waterloo: It is a relief.
	12:13pm Irene Trudel: Good morning all! I think I'm sort of awake. Nice seeing (and meeting) a bunch of you at last night's Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia finale to WFMU's Marathon. Thanks to all who made a pledge to keep us going for another year!!! We are truly grateful.
	12:14pm common: cute kitty...with the cone of shame. awwwww.
	12:14pm stavros: It's really a testament to their programming that WFMU can pull off such a short fund raising drive every year.
	12:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Is that kitty sleeping on a WFMU hoodie?
	🥁 12:21pm Brian in UK: @kat the Lincolnshire Wolds are probably the most well known over here.
	12:21pm dc pat: Fantastic noise from Mr. Ra.
	12:21pm kirk from beer city usa: yay kitties!
	12:21pm mariano: I kind of miss the marathon, to be honest: for the first time in almost 20 years of listening, I was able to stay almost constantly tuned in because I've been working from home. It was like being on an FMU cruise.
	12:22pm Cheri Pi: FLOYD
	12:23pm v k: nice Floyd track - this one reminds me of "Live at Pompeii" documentary
	12:23pm kat330: @Brian: Not Nottinghamshire and Sherwood?
	12:24pm AndrewC.: Cotswolds, surely?
	12:24pm Sean in Bristol, UK: Hi Irene, hello one and all.
	🥁 12:25pm KevinfromBayRidge: hello all, Hope our feline friend doesn't mess with Mouse pledges! Great Marathon Irene. Now just do what you do so well!
	12:25pm kat330: Love the sun-centric theme, Irene. It's a sunny day in So IN, up to nearly 70 today. And speaking of sun-centric programs: Anyone not within distance of the H&M last night catch the newest incarnation of "Cosmos"?
	🥁 12:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: it's on the DVR, Kat
	12:27pm Andrew Waterloo: Is that a new series or a re-release of the original?
	12:27pm Whooda: Ummagumma. Now I am a convert. I revel in my Irenianess!
	🥁 12:28pm Brian in UK: @AndrewC Ofcourse. @kat Lincs is adjacent to Notts.
	12:28pm kat330: @Kevin: The first ep is understandably laying down a foundation -- clearly the programs are meant for schoolchildren to watch in class -- but I'm hopeful it will be as engrossing as Sagan was.
	12:30pm kat330: @Andrew: New series with Tyson. I noticed he did not say "BIIILLLions!"
	12:30pm van: Love this album
	🥁 12:31pm KevinfromBayRidge: Think I first heard this on a label sampler in the very early 70s. It didn't get better for them after this.
	12:32pm Andrew Waterloo: @kat330, cool, Tyson doesn't have Sagan's wonderfully sedative voice.
	12:32pm Bubba: Thank you, Irene.
	12:32pm Irene Trudel: Yes, kitties! The "cone of shame" is gone and my friend 'Nello is content to dream of mousies, not chasing down mouse pledges-- although he would not turn one down after the fact.
	12:36pm Mdurek: Nice tune. Like the books with pop structure and a new sweet female vocalist
	12:41pm Mdurek: Love Leo Kottke, got to see him in a small venue in high school. This it was Club Bené.
	12:42pm kat330: Just heard the other day from a local DJ the derivation of the word "Ummagumma." Better late than never.
	12:42pm van: Julie plays a cover of the Floyd tune that is wonderful if you've never heard it. Its by "Black Fortress of Opium"
	🥁 12:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: @Kat. Thanks for the info. 0ff the board now. Going for a post-marathon run on still gray & 44F NY Harbor with my Sony m80v on 91.1
	🥁 12:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: CRIMMMMMMMMMS0N!!!!
	12:44pm kat330: Enjoy, Kevin!
	12:46pm Irene Trudel: @Mdurek, I'm going to see Leo Kottke tonight at City Winery in NYC. One of the few people that I would drag myself to see the day after the Hoof & Mouth. Robert Fripp might be anotehr, but I'll settle for this King Crimson track.
	12:47pm kat330: @Irene: Will the entire solar system be represented today? Was lucky to see Kottke in concert early in his career. Leon Redbone opened for him.
	12:49pm serge z: Hey Irene,it was great working with you last night, paying for it now being hung over and half asleep at work, at least i can still listen to your show
	12:49pm kat330: @Lovecraft: Ohhh, that's not what WFPK DJ Duke claims. I mean, maybe that was where the sound-syllables were taken, but purportedly they named the LP after the term one of their roadies used for "making whoopie."
	12:51pm don: Some of the best rock drumming ever on this Crimson album by Mike Giles-
	12:51pm Irene Trudel: @kat, I don't know where this show will go. Suffice to say my head has stars whirling around inside. Speaking of stars-- sorry I missed Cosmos last night. I'm a fan of astronomy and loved the original with Carl Sagan. I'll be interested in seeing where Neil deGrasse Tyson takes it.
	12:53pm Irene Trudel: @serge, thanks so much! You did a fantastic job with monitors for the H&M. I think we're all paying for last night a bit today.
	12:53pm northguineahills: Dig this Krimson. Perfect for my mood.
	12:54pm Whooda: Irene I REALLY appreciate your show today. Just perfect.
	12:56pm kat330: @Irene: Interesting that Neil said "we are all made of star stuff." I was finishing his sentence instead with "stardust" and thinking of Joni's "Woodstock."
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks, @Whooda! Trying to keep it light & dreamy.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: @kat, if I remember right, Carl Sagan used that phrase a lot in the original Cosmos series. A tribute to his vision perhaps?
	12:58pm common: @Irene: i love the original cosmos. interested in the new one. no one can beat carl sagan, though.
	12:59pm V Priceless: wonderful set!
	1:00pm kat330: The whole series is a tribute to his mentor. Near the end he explains the wonderful connection he made with Sagan when he was only 17 (Tyson, that is).
	1:01pm van: Carl Sagan was awesome. So was Cosmos.
	1:02pm Mark: This Pharaoh Sanders is awf the hook!
	1:02pm kat330: Really digging this Sanders.
	1:03pm kat330: Guess I owe you a beverage of choice, Mark.
	1:03pm Irene Trudel: @van, agreed. One of my all-time favorite series. Hoping the new series "pushes" further out into that universe.
	1:10pm still b/p: Sometimes, in the original, just the Sagan-speak sound could be entertaining -- as in, if I remember correctly, "Even in the upper levels of its atmosphere, Venus is a thoroughly nasty place."
	1:11pm Mdurek: @irene, Holy moly! That's awesome. Enjoy. Leo is a sip of the finest latte. I figured out one of his songs in high school. Would love to see Fripp too. :)
	1:12pm earrie: Very lovely gentle sounds.
	1:13pm van: Meanwhile, as I've been letting the world know, I had the best dream ever, last night. KaTe Bush was a guest in my house for some reason, and sang to me! In my dream, she actually wrote a song for me and sang part of it to me! It was heavenly. I asked her if it was going on a new album and she kind of laughed and said it wasn't that good. ha! And then I had to wake up. With quite a smile on my face though.
	🥁 1:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, that's a nice dream
	1:15pm Mark: You MUST find "Glorious Dawn" by Carl Sagan on youtube and play it. If you don't understand the reference, just google it and you'll understand...
	1:15pm van: I'm just glad I actually remembered it!
	1:16pm Cheri Pi: Mr CP and I are now considering buying a TV just for Cosmos. sad to have missed it.
	1:16pm kat330: @Van: Quite the dream! :)
	1:17pm Mark: I went to see Leo Kottke once and I spent the first half hour looking for the bass player who wasn't there--it was Leo playing the bass notes himself.
	1:17pm kat330: @Sean: Soon enough you'll be living out your dream. Excited yet?
	1:18pm Sigurdur: yeah loving that dream ... Way da go Van
	🥁 1:22pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Kat, April 1st can't come soon enough, three weeks tomorrow. back to the country I love
	1:23pm dc pat: Van: do you remember the song though?? I get lots of ideas from dreams--even song and lyrics.
	1:24pm Irene Trudel: @Sean, I keep meaning to write back. Glad you're going to see our "Mets" opening day. Peter & I would love to find time to see you when you're back in NYC.
	1:25pm Mdurek: @Mark . Right! He's like in a smaller niche. More punk than classical in attitude, more classical than punk in technique. No disrespect to classical or punk musicians.
	1:25pm Mdurek: Oh man. Can you believe Ralph Kiner passed? His passing re-ignited my Mets fandom.
	1:25pm kat330: Only dream of a "celeb" I've had recently involved David Letterman. He's popped up before, too. Huh, can't figure what that's about.
	🥁 1:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: My trip is never complete unless I get to see you, Irene
	1:26pm mariano: Ya know, wasn't gonna say this, but I never remember my dreams. Except that the other night during a portion of a dream I looked in a mirror and I was Gregory Peck! No idea what the hell that means.
	1:27pm van: @dc pat - nope, sure don't. Wish I did. She did show me a sheet of music / lyrics but I don't recall that either, just that she did.
	1:27pm Mike East: this show is hitting the spot today...I, too, am a bit hungover
	🥁 1:27pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mdurek, that's a nice touch from The Mets where they are wearing a patch on their uniforms in honour of Ralph
	🥁 1:28pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, did you ask if Kate could do a couple of live concerts?
	1:29pm van: @mariano - reminds me of the old Rodney Dangerfield joke: Doc, every morning I wake up, look at myself in the mirror, and I want to throw up! What's wrong with me?! Doc - I don't know but your eyesight is perfect! Ba-dum! @Sean - I woke up too soon!
	1:31pm mariano: @van: good one! Wish Kate Bush would haunt my dreams. Dangerfield also said "I'm so ugly that when I die they're gonna donate my body to science fiction!"
	1:33pm Mark: So true, Mdurek. He talked a lot between songs. He was funny as hell. Did I mention that he was really drunk? I mean REALLY drunk. So he was this funny drunk guy, telling these hilarious stories, then he'd play a song like friggin' Segovia. Very cool.
	1:33pm van: ha
	1:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Rena Effendi photos for your enjoyment - www.refendi.com...
	1:33pm Mark: Irene, this is a really beautiful set today. I mean the whole show is just gorgeous.
	1:34pm Van in DC: I rarely ever log in to here, but since KaTe is so on my brain today...
	1:38pm Van in DC: Amen Mark!
	🥁 1:41pm Sean in Bristol UK: A stonking set, to use one of fav local colloquialisms
	🥁 1:42pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, how awesome is this, the wonderful Kate, thank you Irene
	1:42pm Irene Trudel: @Van, great suggestion! Love Kate, and she fits right in today.
	1:42pm Mark: "Aerial" is a masterpiece. So grossly overlooked. Thank you for shining a light on it, Irene.
	🥁 1:44pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mark, I heartily agree, wasn't there a 12 year gap between Aerial and her previous album?
	1:44pm Cecile: Im' not much of a fan, but I really like the later stuff I've heard of hers.
	1:45pm Van in DC: KATE! THANK YOU Irene! :) :)
	1:46pm Van in DC: and I had stepped out for just a minute to get some hot tea...wow.
	1:47pm Cecile: yes, Sean. My friends who were KB fans were besides themselves when it came out.
	1:48pm Van in DC: And now there are recent rumblings in the KaTeverse about something in the works...
	🥁 1:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Van, what have you heard, I am all ears
	1:49pm Cecile: the faithful wait for the puff of white smoke above her English farmhouse.
	1:49pm V Priceless: haha
	1:50pm Mark: Oh no you DIDN'T Irene! I told you it rocked!!!
	1:50pm Van in DC: ha ha, just so Cecile. Just so. @Sean - just rumblings, recently, nothing concrete...
	1:50pm Cecile: this is awesome. Irene, did you watch the new Cosmos last night?
	1:51pm mariano: Ho-ly shite, this Sagan is awesome!!!
	1:51pm Van in DC: Wow, this is great!
	1:52pm kat330: @Irene: Thanks for bring our discussion full circle. An orbit, so to speak.
	1:52pm Van in DC: I have to jump off here in a few minutes for the rest of the day...back to back meetings. So I'll get my thanks Irene! in early.
	1:52pm mariano: To bake an apple pie you must first create the universe. What an amazing line, really sucker punched me.
	1:52pm V Priceless: yeah..diggin' this lots!
	1:52pm Cecile: they also ran a bunch of old Cosmos before the new one. I fought back tears.
	1:53pm Parq: If I may, an old favorite of mine: 25.media.tumblr.com...
	1:53pm still b/p: Mash this up with Mister Rogers Garden of Your Mind and you got some big fun.
	1:53pm Irene Trudel: @Mark, I'd never heard this Sagan remix before. Thanks for bringing it up!
	🥁 1:54pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wow, what a set, magnificent.
	1:54pm V Priceless: sorry if anyone may have already discussed this, but the film "Contact" still blows my mind to this day.
	1:55pm Mark: I'm so excited you found it! Isn't it a riot?
	1:56pm kat330: Thanks, Parq! Clearly I misspelled it earlier in comments. ;)
	1:58pm ?: 2014 SIN-fonia Video availability? Any idea where we can enjoy the Sinfonia Videos? Thanks
	1:58pm Prashanth: @V Priceless: The movie 'contact' had an honesty to the way it portrays a parallel possibility. That honesty is why many remember it lovingly. The same honesty is shared by 'Gravity'
	1:59pm mariano: I was really blown away by the historic footage from the early 90s.
	2:00pm mariano: Historic FMU footage during last night's finale, I mean.
	2:00pm Cecile: My husband really enjoyed the book.
	2:01pm Irene Trudel: Oh, yeah! Contact was really special too, having another Sagan connection.
	2:02pm Mark: One beautiful song after another today, Irene. Ralph Towner is so amazing.
	2:03pm v k: adoring the Ralph Tower
	2:04pm mariano: This Towner's great, don't really know him, but it reminds me of some of John McLaughlin's forays into Spanish music. Really lovely.
	2:05pm Cecile: when Neil DeGrasse Tyson talked about his first meeting with Sagan when he was a HS kid at the end of the new Cosmos, I was verklempt
	2:05pm Prashanth: ahh...its so relaxing to hear this after a tiring day at work...my evening's made
	2:06pm Irene Trudel: @mariano, Ralph is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. He originally was with the ensemble Oregon but has many albums to his credit.
	2:08pm Mike East: getting an absurd amount of sales and robot calls at work today. There was a New Yorker article on Neil Degrasse Tyson a few weeks ago. worth a read.
	2:09pm Danne D: Hi Folks :) I see that the station is like $2200 or so from the goal now. As much as I love Irene and Scott, there'd be something really fun about the station hitting the mark during Jim Price's show :D
	2:10pm Mark: Also worth mentioning that Ralph plays piano, too. I loved how all the guys in Oregon played a number of instruments, and they'd switch around. They used to let each member call the set on successive nights, the only rule being that the set had to feature each player playing each of his instruments at least once. They were a great, great group. I'm sorry I never got the chance to see them live.
	2:11pm don B.: I'm streaming today....thanks for attending my show last week. Mark, Matt and i love you dearly....
	2:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Neil DeGrasse Tyson was on NPR the other day - www.npr.org...
	2:12pm mariano: Thanks for the info, Irene and Mark!
	2:13pm V Priceless: (...i am floating in the deep recesses of space....i'll call you back)
	2:13pm Mark: Wow, here's ANOTHER great guitar player I haven't heard in a while--John Abercrombie. Nice. I love you and Matt, too, Don.
	2:16pm Irene Trudel: @Mark, I was lucky enough to help engineer a concert with Oregon for New Sounds a number of years ago. Ralph played piano at that one. As I recall, his guitar got lost by the airline, and a friend of one of our engineers brought one down for him to play. Great guys, and a really nice set.
	2:17pm kat330: Mmm, this is graceful and ravishing.
	2:18pm Irene Trudel: Oh, and John Abercrombie is another favorite guitarist too. He has a great ensemble and is well worth seeing.
	2:18pm Planet Tyler: O that must be a singing saw...
	2:18pm Mark: I'm always amazed when someone is a master at one instrument, then they just turn around and play ANOTHER instrument, too. Very impressive. Great story.
	🥁 2:18pm Sean in Bristol UK: I do love the sound of a theramin
	🥁 2:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: On a completely different note, wish we could have moved our clocks forward over the weekend
	2:23pm Planet Tyler: Too precise to be a theramin - saw.
	2:24pm mariano: When does the UK move forward?
	2:24pm Santos L Halper: Lovely set (and show) Irene. Will have to investigate Rossi et al
	2:25pm Santos L Halper: Bossi et al
	🥁 2:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Mariano, last weekend in March
	2:26pm Mark: I liked when Daylight Savings Time was just a summer thing. It's still dark out when I go to work now.
	2:28pm still b/p: When Oregon was playing Berklee Performance Center in Boston one night in the 70s, friends and I were outside when the crowd exited for a fire alarm. We had not been inside for the show -- don't remember why, because our interest had brought us there in the first place -- but we mixed in with the re-entering patrons and enjoyed the rest of it. There's the confession. Now I need absolution.
	2:28pm Prashanth: @Mariano: That should be March 31.
	2:30pm V Priceless: wow - what a great gig! Much respect for Procol Harum!
	2:30pm Mdurek: Ring ring telephone!!!!
	2:30pm Whooda: Carl Sagan and Timothy Leary link on BoingBoing as we speak boingboing.net
	2:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It would be fun to see Procol Harum at the Felt Forum.
	2:31pm tomasz.: this is a real chill show. needed this today. thanks, Irene
	2:31pm Parq: By the way, Irene, I was at that Procal show at the Felt Forum too. Yes, JDS managed to hold the crowd's attention admirably.
	2:31pm kat330: Irene, maybe there's a crumb under your "r" on the keyboard? I've had that happen when a certain key just doesn't cooperate even when struck. [as in Wold and Rathbun?]
	2:34pm Irene Trudel: @kat, I never said I was a good typist :)
	2:35pm Whooda: @Kat330 I recently replaced the keyboard on my seven year old laptop and quickly discoverd that a few of the keys are slightly different in shape, size or placement. The agravation is unbearable because three of those 'different' keys are: enter, tab and delete. Arrrggh!
	2:35pm Mdurek: @Mark Aerial is awesome. @ Sean yes glad he's getting attention for his role.
	2:36pm kat330: :) Aw, just teasing you. What you excel at, "sound soul sister," is very evident in today's program!
	2:36pm V Priceless: @ Irene / Parq: any special recollections of the late great B.J. Wilson from that Procol show? IMHO the finest drummer ever!
	2:36pm Mdurek: This line has a tail like My Sherona right? Is it just me? :)
	2:37pm kat330: And just slip-sliding away on this dusty road...
	2:37pm Irene Trudel: I know, kat! Your comments are always in the spirit of things here.
	🥁 2:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Irene, it isn't much but topped my pledge up with $15, maybe your wonderful Trukeepers fancies doing the same.
	2:41pm David: Sounds like the same chords as Watch the Sunrise.
	2:43pm kat330: The Jeff doppeganger! Finally managed to compose my tribute to Buckley, albeit only an instrumental lament at this time. Maybe some day I can write lyrics worthy of the subject.

	2:49pm Parq: V-Priceless, yes I remember being knocked out (all of 17 years old) by Procal's drummer and carrying him on my "best drummers" list for years. Doug, some of the volunteers were talking last night about how pledges were likely to continue coming in even after the gong. Was it last year or the year before when goal was made in the middle of Scott's show? Reason to be optimistic that this year will be another of the same.
	2:49pm Parq: Unless, yes, Irene shows her usual mettle and pulls a clutch performance now.
	2:51pm Van in DC: WOW! WOOF! MOO! Way to go!!!!!!!!!

	🥁 3:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: A fab, fab show Irene and to reach the goal on your show, icing on the cake, thank you Irene
	3:00pm mariano: Brian, what an honor you have indeed!!!
	11:05pm Van in DC: Okay, about that KaTe Bush dream....I was about to crash tonight and suddenly the whole thing came flooding back at me. I had to get up to note it here. While I don't remember the tune or lyrics, here is what I remember, and this is the first time EVER I have had a dream with the Goddess KaTe in my dreams (and it so goes with your show theme!): In my house, I notice none other than KaTe Bush roaming around. No idea how or why. But as a HUGE KaTe Fan I am DYING to tell somebody. I don't. After a time, I approach KaTe, finally, to let her know that I have been silent, and have told nobody she is here, not even my closest friends, or those I know are also KaTe fans. I ask her to consider that, how loyal I have been, and ask her if she might be recording something new? Can you please share ANYTHING with me as a reward? (songwise I mean, this is G rated) She smiles and relents and asks me to follow her to her room...in my house...she pulls out a sheet of music, which she had been composing. It is not typical music at all. It is a bunch of vertical lines down a page, not "musical" in the true sense, but meaningful to KaTe. She starts to sing a little of it, and notes that it is not traditional, but sing-song voice type of music. It was wonderful. And THEN she starts to sing a true traditional song to me that was Heavenly. It was pretty brief, not more than four or so lines. She told me with a shockingly shy smile that she had been writing it for ME. I asked her then if she intended it for a new album...? She told me, again shyly, no, that it wasn't near good enough for anything like that. And then the kindest fate ever turned cruel and I awoke. Or perhaps that was the kindest thing? If I hadn't, would I ever had remembered any of that once in a lifetime dream? I doubt it. That. Was. Incredible. So incredible I just wanted to share. And I am not making any of this up. I feel like God granted me a wish that I didn't even know I really was wishing. Hoping for many happy returns.....in 3...2...1....
	3:37pm Van in DC: TALK ABOUT GOD GRANTING ME A WISH!! Did I have a premonition of Kate performing Live??? WOW. AND I GOT A TICKET!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:05pm Van in DC: Well. Anyway. I want to say that my dream about KaTe was real. It was days before she announced the live shows. I had no idea. I never suspected. When I found out from Doug Schulkind on his GTDR radio show on Friday that KaTe was "touring", I was blown away. That was well after all of this. I do not believe in coincidence. I have never, ever dreamed of KaTe before, especially not a dream so real, so life-like. It was surreal. On several levels, I think I experienced a miracle. At least three that I can think of (levels that is). I am THRILLED to have a lone solitary ticket to go see KaTe! It is a dream come true, it is a LIFE EVENT. It is what I have been living for. This is it. THANK YOU GOD for giving me the dream...I failed to interpret it, who could have? Nobody. Nevertheless - THANK YOU. September 10th can't come fast enough.
