	7:04pm annette: Alan, absolutely great selections.
	7:04pm McGroovey: Sorry. I've never been in jail on any day (or night). I got stopped for speeding a couple times. Once for a loud exhaust (couldn't afford to fix it): one example of classism; otherwise, white privilege.
	7:04pm Steve S. from Sunset Park: Love the show. Fantastic.
	7:05pm alanSixº: crossed over with todd twice!
	7:06pm jackrio: I once wondered if Alan was in jail one Halloween, but I don't think that counts

	7:07pm Paulo AD: Alan Alan Alan :) merry Christmas buddie
	7:10pm Kotzwinkled: I spent the night in The Tombs once after a misunderstanding with MTA transit cops. Do not recommend. Was not xmas, but I imagine most nights are the same in there.
	7:11pm greg from montreal: hey all, thanks for all of the great songs
	7:11pm dale: is this glass harmonica in the background?
	7:11pm ShelbyG: What's the number?
	7:13pm greg from montreal: it's supposedly a saw, dale -- The Singing Saw at Christmastime!
	7:14pm greg from montreal: on air should be 201-209-9368
	7:14pm ShelbyG: don't think it's the right numer
	7:14pm greg from montreal: sorry, took that number from https://wfmu.org/reachout.html -- it doesn't seem to work?
	7:15pm ShelbyG: I didn't get through
	7:15pm St. Joe: I could listen to saw music all night.
	7:16pm dale: greg from montreal - thanks. i can't read obviously.
	7:16pm greg from montreal: it does sound very glass harmonicky
	7:17pm annie: not to disparage senior citizens or anything, but i spent a lunch feast with friends here where i live. a room full of older people.... talking cranky, opinionated, forgetful, .... next year, it's gonna be Cornerstone Lunch extravaganza!!
	7:17pm Andal: Great fill-in and Christmas day show. Clearly we have all come here for refuge of some kind.
	7:17pm Andal: Who else heard "Emma Peel"?
	7:18pm ShelbyG: aww, Fred Schneider..can't mistake his voice
	7:19pm alanSixº: a set of holiday food tunes
	7:19pm Kotzwinkled: Amazing show so far.

	7:21pm alanSixº: wow i might wanna talk to you about loving fruitcake
	7:21pm DjLorraine: That's the on air #. The studio number is 1 digit different
	7:23pm annie: well, i grew up with close to three weeks of christmas cakes, pies, treats, cookies.. my mom was one of the best cooks
	7:24pm alanSixº: right but i would wanna use the on air number right? thanks dj lorraine
	7:24pm ShelbyG: still not getting through on that number, anyway... hi DjL!!! Merry Christmas
	7:24pm happymaan: The on air # is easy to remember if you listen to double-dip recess.
	7:26pm DjLorraine: I believe so. The handsome fuzzy glove guys use the on air # 201-209-9368
	7:26pm annie: i can call if you'd like... it'll be first time ever!!!

	7:30pm alanSixº: mike the chef in the house! watup jack and everyone!
	7:31pm jillydg: I'm also enjoying the tunes Alan while I catch up on my reading. I was just finishing up this positive story about a prison in Italy and Christmas cake when you brought up the subject. www.nytimes.com... . If Italy can figure it out, hopefully we can too. Peace to all.
	7:31pm annie: annette, i hear ya. praise the lord for a mother who doubles as cook. winter was the BSET time in our house. and that damn plum pudding all lit up like a candle!!
	7:32pm jackrio: I hiked as much as the Robert Frost Trail as I could yesterday + today. Waking upon xmas morning in my hammock, w/ my tarp hanging on top of me from the freezing rain, was certainly a novel experience. Getting out of my frozen wet clothes was a gift unto itself.
	7:32pm alanSixº: thanx jilly i remember seeing that article but havent read it i will
	7:33pm alanSixº: st joe i like that call in -

	8:01pm McGroovey: Man. This is the public service whatchamacallits I listen to WFMU for.
	8:02pm ShelbyG: @dano: it's hard to find straight rock n roll in VT, it's all Dead cover bands, jam bands, reggae, bluegrass..I love all (but jam bands), but, come on
	8:02pm McGroovey: Well, now you have to play the other side, Allen...
	8:02pm ShelbyG: it's insufferable
	8:03pm Trouthead: OMG
	8:04pm jackrio: Shelby, I don't live too terribly far away from you, and I agree, jam bands galore. I don't hate them, I can appreciate the skill, but only listen in small doses
	8:04pm ShelbyG: jackrio: where ya to?
	8:05pm ShelbyG: I do. I do hate jam bands.
	8:07pm jackrio: Not too far outside of Greenfield, MA. I'm from NJ, and miss the variety in bands, although the germ has pretty much killed live music for me.
	8:07pm alanSixº: i played the wrong side lol
	8:09pm DjLorraine: Shelby sounded great!!
	8:09pm jackrio: The thing that turned me onto WFMU so many years ago is that you must sometimes learn patience w/ music/"music"
	8:11pm ShelbyG: DjL: love to you, ms lady..
	8:12pm greg from montreal: wow this is great haha (what was it?)
	8:13pm jackrio: RiP Lemmy
	8:13pm ShelbyG: jackrio: I love music music.
	8:13pm ShelbyG: and I love Lemmy
	8:14pm Will the Sound Guy: .....Trick question as$hole, Lemmy is god!!
	8:20pm Andrew Hollywood: 🌲🌲🌲👽👽👽🌲🌲🌲
	8:20pm AliceMaz: Alan is actually god… sorry Lemmy
	8:23pm Will the Sound Guy: lol, it was a movie quote from Airheads.... it's very much true tho ; )
	8:26pm jackrio: I feel like this song is an early 90's keyboard on demonstration mode
	8:29pm dano59: @Shelby - Ithaca has all those genres covered but a lot more besides - a great original-music town. Which kinda spoiled me for all but a few other U.S. cities
	8:34pm HyperDose: You're crushing it, Alan! ☕😎🚬

	7:04pm annette: Alan, absolutely great selections.
	7:04pm McGroovey: Sorry. I've never been in jail on any day (or night). I got stopped for speeding a couple times. Once for a loud exhaust (couldn't afford to fix it): one example of classism; otherwise, white privilege.
	7:04pm Steve S. from Sunset Park: Love the show. Fantastic.
	7:05pm alanSixº: crossed over with todd twice!

	7:11pm dale: is this glass harmonica in the background?

	7:14pm greg from montreal: on air should be 201-209-9368
	7:14pm ShelbyG: don't think it's the right numer
	7:14pm greg from montreal: sorry, took that number from https://wfmu.org/reachout.html -- it doesn't seem to work?
	7:15pm ShelbyG: I didn't get through
	7:15pm St. Joe: I could listen to saw music all night.

	7:31pm jillydg: I'm also enjoying the tunes Alan while I catch up on my reading. I was just finishing up this positive story about a prison in Italy and Christmas cake when you brought up the subject. www.nytimes.com... . If Italy can figure it out, hopefully we can too. Peace to all.
	7:31pm annie: annette, i hear ya. praise the lord for a mother who doubles as cook. winter was the BSET time in our house. and that damn plum pudding all lit up like a candle!!
	7:32pm jackrio: I hiked as much as the Robert Frost Trail as I could yesterday + today. Waking upon xmas morning in my hammock, w/ my tarp hanging on top of me from the freezing rain, was certainly a novel experience. Getting out of my frozen wet clothes was a gift unto itself.

	8:01pm McGroovey: Man. This is the public service whatchamacallits I listen to WFMU for.
	8:02pm ShelbyG: @dano: it's hard to find straight rock n roll in VT, it's all Dead cover bands, jam bands, reggae, bluegrass..I love all (but jam bands), but, come on
	8:02pm McGroovey: Well, now you have to play the other side, Allen...
	8:02pm ShelbyG: it's insufferable
	8:03pm Trouthead: OMG
	8:04pm jackrio: Shelby, I don't live too terribly far away from you, and I agree, jam bands galore. I don't hate them, I can appreciate the skill, but only listen in small doses
	8:04pm ShelbyG: jackrio: where ya to?
	8:05pm ShelbyG: I do. I do hate jam bands.
	8:07pm jackrio: Not too far outside of Greenfield, MA. I'm from NJ, and miss the variety in bands, although the germ has pretty much killed live music for me.
	8:07pm alanSixº: i played the wrong side lol
	8:09pm DjLorraine: Shelby sounded great!!
	8:09pm jackrio: The thing that turned me onto WFMU so many years ago is that you must sometimes learn patience w/ music/"music"
	8:11pm ShelbyG: DjL: love to you, ms lady..
	8:12pm greg from montreal: wow this is great haha (what was it?)
	8:13pm jackrio: RiP Lemmy

	8:20pm AliceMaz: Alan is actually god… sorry Lemmy
	8:23pm Will the Sound Guy: lol, it was a movie quote from Airheads.... it's very much true tho ; )
	8:26pm jackrio: I feel like this song is an early 90's keyboard on demonstration mode
	8:29pm dano59: @Shelby - Ithaca has all those genres covered but a lot more besides - a great original-music town. Which kinda spoiled me for all but a few other U.S. cities
