Listener comments!
	3:02pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Larry and all other listeners!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andrew!
	♥ 3:02pm dreamyandseedy: greetings Larry and all
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dreamyandseedy @3:02 Hey dreamy!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm doctorjazz: Some Long Hair music a-comin', sounds good! Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry and summer testifyers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Erica: Greetings Larry. Time again for another classical music show.
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:02 Hey Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:02 Hi Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:03 Hi Erica!
	3:04pm bradford: Howdy Larry & all
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:04 Hi bradford!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Sem: Hello, Larry and the Testifier crew. Along for a listen to the tunes your Dad introduced you to. Nice, very nice.
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:08 Hey Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm doctorjazz: Not likely today, but any chance for a Robbie Robertson/Band tribute at some point? (RIP-very upset about this passing).
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:10 Def a possibility.
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Erica: So many people died this month.
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:12 Just this week has been brutal
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 Such a crazy one for sure.
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: I was saying to my wife yesterday that it's only going to keep going like this. Most of the musicians of the "classic rock" era are close to or over 80, and almost nobody from before that is still alive.
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 And yet Keith Richards is hanging in there.
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: Sentient, heroin-flavored beef jerky
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 True, it goes with the passing of time (none of The Band members are still alive except Garth Hudson, and I read he's in an Assisted Living facility).
	🥁 ♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: Dylan is still out there performing.
	♥ 3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @3:02 Hi Yvang!
	♥ 3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:08 Greets Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Sem: Loved Levant's autobiography: Memoirs of an Amnesiac. Also love this Gershwin. Every time.
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:32 It's weird for me to have first experienced him via this recording, then to see him show up as comic relief in 1940s/50s movies
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: My sister just saw the play about him with Sean Hayes
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Yeah, I get that. I did not know about his classical music life until I read the book. Like you, he was just some fun doofus playing 3rd banana in a B-movie.
	🥁 ♥ 3:35pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:32 Missed you there, hello, AiT!
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: Though he does appear in the awful Gershwin bio (starring Robert Alda) playing this piece
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Sounds like fun-what's the play called?
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 Good Night Oscar
	🥁 ♥ 3:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:49 Times review bad...doesn't seem like much fun. www.nytimes.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: My sister loved it. She said Sean Hayes was excellent.
	🥁 ♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Sorry, that was weird...
	♥ 4:01pm drowsy: I love your classical shows Larry. Thanks.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 OK, can't always go by the critics, now I'm curious.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Erica: Oh no I thought the stream acted up. I had a couple of mp3 files that would blend with another when getting corrupted.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: That was definitely my file. I'm very confused right now.
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 My only suggestion is for you to make a new vinyl transfer to replace the corrupted one for next time.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:03 Absolutely
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:01 I jus read the review, and I can see his points about how Levant is presented to a modern audience, most of whom have no idea who he was or what he did
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: I'm calling an audible! Saving Shostakovich Jazz Suite #2 for a later date so I can fit in the final piece I've programmed for today.
	🥁 ♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Lots of crossover with Kurt Weill in this piece
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hawaiin guitar!
	🥁 ♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Can't spell Hawaiian...
	♥ 4:31pm TDK60: Darn. I could kick myself for not being here sooner, DJ Larry. On second thought, I probably can't kick myself. But I love me some Shostakovich.
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:31 Hey TDK60! You're just in time for the big Russian finale!
	🥁 ♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: Here comes Igor!
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:33 Yes master.
	🥁 ♥ 4:34pm Erica: That was a joke.
	♥ 4:36pm TDK60: The Firebird! Igor!
	4:36pm melissa fleischman: It’s really starting to hurt!
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:34 I got it.
	4:36pm melissa fleischman: 😂
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Erica: ↳ melissa fleischman @4:36 Hi Melissa.
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: EYE-GOR
	4:36pm melissa fleischman: I can breathe again
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ melissa fleischman @4:36 Hey melissa!
	4:37pm melissa fleischman: Hi Erica
	♥ 4:37pm TDK60: Eyegor! (I just rewatched Yuung Frankenstein.)
	♥ 4:38pm TDK60: {Young}
	🥁 ♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: JUNG Frankenstein
	♥ 4:38pm TDK60: Hi Erica, melissa.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Erica: The horns remind me of Tom and Jerry
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm doctorjazz: Great show, gotta run, thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:46pm TDK60: Stravinsky sounds so original to me. He doesn't sound like anyone else, that I know. (Well Tom & Jerry maybe. Hee.)
	4:46pm Andrew in Toronto: This was another superb show! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:45 I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that some of the cartoon composers were steeped in stuff like Stravinsky
	🥁 ♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Bye Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:46 It's funny, I was reading about the premiere of The Firebird and there are a bunch of his contemporaries making catty comments about the piece.
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:46 Thank you, Andrew!
	♥ 4:52pm TDK60: Such a beautiful ending. Majestic? Orgasmic? Etc..
	🥁 ♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:52 All of the above!
	♥ 4:56pm daupomatic: I got chills.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Erica: Bravo Maestro Grogan!
	♥ 4:57pm dreamyandseedy: thanks Larry
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:57pm TDK60: I testify here and now that it's true I need to be here more often. Gracias, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Sem: Masterful set lists. Love this music. Thank you, Larry. See you next time.
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Yvang: It was really great! More classical on WFMU! Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:57 Thanks Sem!
	4:57pm C in Thailand: Thank you for the great program, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:57 Thanks Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ C in Thailand @4:57 Thank you C!
