Listener comments!
	6:02am Howard F: Good morning Nate!
	6:02am duke: Burn this sucker down!
	6:02am fred: Good morning Nate and fellow pyromaniacs
	6:06am Howard F: Crossroads is a Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas Quintet) compostion. Great choice!
	6:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Nate. Where shall I set down this bundle of kindling?
	6:07am Nate K.: @Howard, oh yeah, one of my all-time faves.
	6:08am Nate K.: Morning, everybody. Great live set coming up a little later in the show from Sparrow Steeple.
	6:13am Ricky: Neil's Archive is up and running!
	6:13am Mark R: Beautiful tunes to start us off this morning, Nate. I understand Heron Oblivion were tremendous the other night.
	6:17am Nate K.: Thanks, Mark.
	6:18am Nate K.: @Ricky, yes, I heard that. Haven't taken the plunge yet. You?
	6:19am Ricky: Just finished Neil's tutorial. Looks like a amazing site.
	6:20am Brian in UK: Hello Nate, Good sounds to do the ironing to! Another grey day here, bit like a politicians' promises.
	6:21am Howard F: @Ricky: I might have to check that out. A tutorial?! I love Neil Young.
	6:22am Ricky: @ Howard: Neil walks ya through his new archive. www.youtube.com...
	6:25am Howard F: @Ricky: Thanks, I'll check it out!
	6:55am Ricky: Ok. coffee, chickens watered... ready for more 70s R&R.
	6:59am Sem: Hiya, Nate, Burners. Feeling the heat this AM.
	7:07am Sem: Raunchy? Damning with faint praise will get you nowhere ;-D
	7:11am Nate K.: @Sem, I wouldn't know. Frank is one of those guys that I just never got. I can dig some Mothers, but that's about it.
	7:12am ultradamno: You know too many good people have died in a year when someone you are a fan of dies and it gets past you for months. RIP Jessi Zazu.
	7:14am R2D2: Princess Leia wanted to say hi.
	7:18am Scraps deSelby: h’lo h’lo
	7:22am medson: Good Morning everyone. Jessi was a sucky loss for sure, so young. I remember seeing those darlins at Maxwells in Hoboken.
	7:24am Nate K.: @R2D2 HI, PL!!
	7:25am ultradamno: @medson I saw them in Indy at Radio Radio, Kelly was still with them (after the second album, I think). They held an impromptu dance contest. Great fun band.
	7:28am Morgan: morning Nate, everybody
	7:30am kev: morning Burners
	7:30am Sem: Nate, I didn't know what to make of the first half dozen albums, but they were intriguing, so I kept on buying. Got started w/ Weasels, then went back for the 10 that preceded it, and kept listening for the next 13, winding up w/ Zoot Allures. Maybe the inspired lyrics coupled by explorations of rhythms layered over musique concrète, his guitar improvisations, and ever-changing choice of playmates was just too much to ignore. Didn't get everything he was doing but the more I heard the more I wanted to follow along. Plus, I liked a man w/ a serious long term soul patch before it became a thing.
	7:30am medson: @ultradamno they were great
	7:42am Morgan: @Nate Id love to hear something off that new john lurie
	7:46am Your Ace From Exchange Place: Damn, that Sparrow Steeple sounds good!
	7:49am medson: Nice.
	7:51am medson: four piece band?
	7:52am Nate K.: @Morgan, me too! I'll see what I can do.
	7:55am Your Ace From Exchange Place: @Medson 5. Drums, Bass, 2 GTR and Harp.
	7:56am medson: cool. very full sounding for sure
	8:03am Morgan: Im digging these guys too
	8:10am Aaron Working In Newark: Sounds great guys
	8:12am Listener Robert: Thanks for introducing us to Sparrow Steeple. I'm going to have to remember them in case I get a chance to go to a performance of theirs. I also think the mic placement was interesting for some of the "foreground" sounds. My compliments to the engineer.
	8:18am Listener Robert: Of course a real steeple full of real sparrows is noisy, cacophonous. So, one of those silly, self-deprecating band names, I guess.
	8:40am Morgan: Im astounded at the live music coming out of fmu recently! lucky I can get it on the radio w better speakers
	8:52am herb.nyc: Just turned on stereo. And I hear a savage. I saw his show Friday night at Monty Hall. Really good, very understated. Except when the alto saxophone played
	8:54am kev: thx Nate, great show
	8:56am Ricky: Nice set. Thanks
	8:56am Listener Robert: I forgot, did someone last week post the name of this closing theme?
	8:57am medson: Thanks Nate
	8:57am Morgan: thanks nate! happy sunday all
	8:58am Ricky: Thanks Sparrow Steeple... I'll keep an eye out for ya up in the Poconos.
