	🌍 6:34pm chresti: Ken speaks the truth
	🌍 6:35pm slugluv1313: i believe that there is a pretty huge Armenian community in NJ? i listen to the Armenian Radio Hour of NJ (which is actually two hours) on Seton Hall's (normally metal-head!) WSOU-FM on Sunday afternoons
	6:36pm Handy Haversack: Cool, slugluv!
	6:37pm ShelbyG: @slug: gonna check that out!!
	🌍 6:40pm Bas NL: I liked the polka.. what language was that, Rob?
	🌍 6:42pm slugluv1313: oh cool! yes, on Sunday afternoons there are two hours of Polka music (starting at 12noon ET), then the Armenian program at 2pm, then the Arab Caravan at 4pm -- WSOU is 89.5 FM, also on iheartradio.com
	6:42pm listener 126464: Hi Rob, everyone. Sounds like freeform freedom!
	6:42pm D. Werewolf: HOWDY
	6:43pm ShelbyG: @slug:I favorite'd it on my TuneIn. I'm learning how to play the violin, so this is fantastic inspiration, very much enjoying this
	🌍 6:44pm chresti: There's a good sized Armenian community in east Hollywood, Los Feliz, parts of LA, Glendale, CA
	6:44pm D. Werewolf: Such a nice Crescemt Moon tomogjt.
	🌍 6:45pm slugluv1313: @ShelbyG -- learning violin, that is FANTASTIC!
	6:46pm ShelbyG: @D.: all we have are grey skies & rain in Vermont @slugluv: it is one muthaf'n hard instrument..so exacting
	6:46pm I k e: Hi! Anyone here ever made kimchi? Maybe I’ll try making some.
	6:47pm ShelbyG: @Ike: I think you have to bury it for a while.
	🌍 6:48pm chresti: Violins are fun, never learned though.
	6:48pm ShelbyG: 😬😬
	6:48pm Handy Haversack: Ike, I haven't, but friends of mine do. They also just keep it going by adding more veggies to jars of kimchi as they get depleted.
	6:49pm ShelbyG: violins are fun AND funny
	6:49pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	🌍 6:51pm Bas NL: Friends of mine are in to Korean cuisine and their home made kimchi is always delicious!
	🌍 6:51pm slugluv1313: hi chresti! an Armenian friend who used to live in northern NJ now lives in LA -- iirc, her parents were escaping and came to the US in the 70s
	6:52pm D. Werewolf: First it was ice I suppose, No cometdisian on Cello
	🌍 6:53pm chresti: I've never tried kimchi. I think we have a jar that a friend made. slugluv, yes, here too. first and second. third generation. Kardashian dynasty.
	6:54pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Armenian church in Ridgefield NJ on Bergen Blvd. I remember seeing the then unfamiliar Armenian flag 🇦🇲 outside it as it was still a Soviet republic in the late 80’s
	6:55pm Handy Haversack: Many Armenians ended up in SoCal. See William Saroyan, The Human Comedy.
	🌍 6:55pm chresti: ^(and hi slugluv!)
	🌍 6:56pm chresti: Saroyan's a great, Handy
	6:58pm Handy Haversack: Definitely, chresti. These sounds! Exciting! Incredible!
	6:58pm Handy Haversack: ("When I was in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois ...")
	🌍 6:59pm chresti: Until I moved to LA in 76, I was unawares of Armenia
	7:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening ! Enjoying. As Ever.
	7:00pm ShelbyG: @Handy: Usual Suspects?
	7:01pm Handy Haversack: ShelbyG, exactly. There is no coke on this boat!
	7:02pm ShelbyG: HH: 🤣 rolling on the floor laughiing face
	7:02pm ShelbyG: 🤪
	7:05pm ShelbyG: @Rob: do you ever play tracks from soundtrack Abhimaan?
	🌍 7:06pm Bas NL: The Armenians suffered greatly in WW1. I guess many found a better future in the US.
	7:06pm Mr. Pumpy: This show is delivering DA GOODZ! Thanks, Rob. Hello friends!
	🌍 7:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: When Monty Hall gets up & running again, there should be a violin recital. 🎻
	7:09pm Handy Haversack: There should be more violins in the medians! Yo, Mr. P!
	7:09pm ShelbyG: Hi Pumpy 🥳
	7:09pm Rob W: ShelbyG - I may have at some point but who remembers - ?!
	7:10pm ShelbyG: I found the emoji's 😬
	7:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy! Looks like tomorrow is a go, eh?
	7:11pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Shelby!
	7:11pm ShelbyG: @Rob: who remembers what?! 😏
	7:12pm ShelbyG: @violent median recitals???
	🌍 7:13pm chresti: Thanks for reminding me to find a bow, ShelbyG!
	7:13pm ShelbyG: @Rob: no seriously, just a random thought that crossed my addled mind...sorry if that was a rude thing to ask
	7:14pm Barba Yiorgi: Ha ! Don't Worry Ma Annabouboula (heh), a blast from several Pasts! Nice to hear (I am told) as Barba Yiorgi departs fo a DJ gig...
	7:15pm Handy Haversack: You at Troost, Barba Yiorgi?
	7:15pm ShelbyG: @chresti: so far, the most gratifying, beautiful thing about the violin for me has been feeling the sound in my body...it's really grounding & soul affirming
	7:16pm Rob W: ShelbyG it's fine to ask! I just can't say off the top of my head. I do play classic Bollywood from time to time but it varies...
	7:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Rob, I don't know if you've ever checked Hashshashin out. I think you may dig them. They are an interesting band from Sydney, Australia who uses quite an array of traditional instruments along with western musical sensibilities. Give them a try! hashshashin.bandcamp.com
	7:16pm Barba Yiorgi: Handy: Yes!
	7:17pm ShelbyG: @Rob: I hear you, thx
	7:17pm Handy Haversack: We just got back in town and are sort of wiped out, but I'll poll the room and see if we feel up to heading out!
	7:17pm Rob W: Barba Yiorgi of Annabouboula fame if not fortune!
	7:17pm ShelbyG: OPA
	7:17pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, make sure Bagpipe gets his usual three votes.
	7:20pm winston legthigh: my apology for the pause. was wine-ing and dining. thanks rob and all.
	7:22pm βrian: Limited by supplies, we had to go with vodka tonics. It's a beautiful warm evening here out behind the garage.
	7:24pm ShelbyG: @Brian: I wish it was here. It's super quiet & rainy. Vermont is pretty quiet anyway. I did have a moose run down my driveway yesterday. So, that's something.
	🌍 7:25pm chresti: ShelbyG, you can play along!
	7:26pm βrian: @ShelbyG: Where in VT? That's where I spent my Missing Years.
	7:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was born on the Vermont side & can almost see it from my house now :P ...& I suppose all my Years are more or less Missing...
	7:30pm βrian: An old friend lives in Thetford Center. If he's getting rain, I'm sure he's thrilled. The spring had nearly dried up.
	7:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We've had some rain, yes !
	7:34pm ShelbyG: I'm in Montpelier. We do need the rain badly.
	7:36pm βrian: Mount Peculiar! I remember it well. I lived in Monkton, mainly.
	7:37pm ShelbyG: @Brian: my 1st go 'round in VT were missing years, as well...ahh to be in my late 20's again (NO THANK YOU)
	7:43pm andal: You guys this sounds like the theme song to Topkapi
	7:45pm βrian: Ah, the sun has slipped behind the tall maple, and we breathe a sigh of relief.
	7:48pm Eric Kilkenny: Hello Rob
	7:51pm ShelbyG: Pop Muzik
	7:56pm Andres: Hi, Rob! Digging tonight’s sounds. Taboo Combo hit a real sweet spot!
	7:57pm Rob W: Hi and thanks to everyone!
	7:57pm Andres: *Tabou (Autocorrect you bugger! I know what I’m doing!)
	7:57pm βrian: No moose here, but the rabbits think they own the place. And they like merengue, clearly.
	7:58pm ShelbyG: @Brian: bunny merengue...that's silly
	7:59pm βrian: They've got me thinking about Lapin à la Moutarde.
	8:01pm ShelbyG: do not eat bunnies
	8:02pm βrian: Regarding my plantings: "Do not eat, bunnies!"
	8:03pm K.G.: Good evening all. Never too late for some great music to help turn the day around. Thank you Rob
	8:04pm βrian: In truth, we did what we could to shelter the bunny nests from our local owls. Maybe we should've stepped back.
	8:05pm βrian: Or maybe Lapin aux Myrtilles...
	8:06pm βrian: "I cheated a little." @Rob: May I borrow that phrase?
	8:08pm ShelbyG: @Brian: just stay out of Mother Nature's way, I guess?
	🌍 8:12pm slugluv1313: ASHWIN!!! <3 <3 <3
	🌍 8:12pm adampsyche: my JAM
	🌍 8:12pm slugluv1313: his show at Maxwell's is still one of my favorite shows EVER
	8:16pm Rob W: Ah the memories slugluv!
	8:25pm Handy Haversack: Feel better, Katie!
	8:25pm βrian: Michigan, the homeland.
	🌍 8:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope Katie can still play the violin after this. Get well soon!
	🌍 8:26pm slugluv1313: yes when Maxwell's was still Maxwell's! amazing musician -- totally sweet human being -- i think i was on his mailing list for awhile too? would get newsletters/postcards in the mail, sometimes with recipes and news from the family's restaurant too
	🌍 8:27pm slugluv1313: oh no! i missed this -- FEEL BETTER, KATIE!!!
	8:28pm Mr. Pumpy: I think this was the temp music for Doctor Detroit.
	🌍 8:28pm Bas NL: Best recovery Katie.
	8:42pm ShelbyG: Speedy healing, Kate!
	8:44pm ShelbyG: Polkas always remind me of being at my cousin's wedding in Kansas. Very Polish family. I was about 8yo. My cousin's new husband about dislocated my shoulder during the Flying Dutchman. Holy moly.
	8:50pm Megaroni: Festive weekend to you TPSP!
	8:51pm Rob W: Thanks Megaroni and all!
	🌍 8:51pm slugluv1313: BOOGALOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lucked out some years ago, saw Joe Cuba in one of the smaller "SummerStage" parks -- maybe St. Mary's Park in the Bronx? such a cool show
	🌍 8:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rob. E pluribus unum to all!
	8:55pm βrian: Polkas remind me of weddings because I used to work in a banquet department at a hotel. Weddings were generally stressful events. Polish weddings were a fucking blast.
	8:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob!
	8:57pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Rob, great show!
	8:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Rob! Thanks, brother. Amazing music and vibes.

	🌍 6:34pm chresti: Ken speaks the truth

	6:42pm listener 126464: Hi Rob, everyone. Sounds like freeform freedom!
	6:42pm D. Werewolf: HOWDY
	6:43pm ShelbyG: @slug:I favorite'd it on my TuneIn. I'm learning how to play the violin, so this is fantastic inspiration, very much enjoying this
	🌍 6:44pm chresti: There's a good sized Armenian community in east Hollywood, Los Feliz, parts of LA, Glendale, CA
	6:44pm D. Werewolf: Such a nice Crescemt Moon tomogjt.
	🌍 6:45pm slugluv1313: @ShelbyG -- learning violin, that is FANTASTIC!
	6:46pm ShelbyG: @D.: all we have are grey skies & rain in Vermont @slugluv: it is one muthaf'n hard instrument..so exacting
	6:46pm I k e: Hi! Anyone here ever made kimchi? Maybe I’ll try making some.
	6:47pm ShelbyG: @Ike: I think you have to bury it for a while.
	🌍 6:48pm chresti: Violins are fun, never learned though.
	6:48pm ShelbyG: 😬😬
	6:48pm Handy Haversack: Ike, I haven't, but friends of mine do. They also just keep it going by adding more veggies to jars of kimchi as they get depleted.
	6:49pm ShelbyG: violins are fun AND funny
	6:49pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	🌍 6:51pm Bas NL: Friends of mine are in to Korean cuisine and their home made kimchi is always delicious!
	🌍 6:51pm slugluv1313: hi chresti! an Armenian friend who used to live in northern NJ now lives in LA -- iirc, her parents were escaping and came to the US in the 70s
	6:52pm D. Werewolf: First it was ice I suppose, No cometdisian on Cello
	🌍 6:53pm chresti: I've never tried kimchi. I think we have a jar that a friend made. slugluv, yes, here too. first and second. third generation. Kardashian dynasty.

	6:55pm Handy Haversack: Many Armenians ended up in SoCal. See William Saroyan, The Human Comedy.
	🌍 6:55pm chresti: ^(and hi slugluv!)
	🌍 6:56pm chresti: Saroyan's a great, Handy
	6:58pm Handy Haversack: Definitely, chresti. These sounds! Exciting! Incredible!

	7:02pm ShelbyG: 🤪
	7:05pm ShelbyG: @Rob: do you ever play tracks from soundtrack Abhimaan?

	7:09pm Rob W: ShelbyG - I may have at some point but who remembers - ?!
	7:10pm ShelbyG: I found the emoji's 😬
	7:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy! Looks like tomorrow is a go, eh?
	7:11pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Shelby!
	7:11pm ShelbyG: @Rob: who remembers what?! 😏
	7:12pm ShelbyG: @violent median recitals???
	🌍 7:13pm chresti: Thanks for reminding me to find a bow, ShelbyG!
	7:13pm ShelbyG: @Rob: no seriously, just a random thought that crossed my addled mind...sorry if that was a rude thing to ask
	7:14pm Barba Yiorgi: Ha ! Don't Worry Ma Annabouboula (heh), a blast from several Pasts! Nice to hear (I am told) as Barba Yiorgi departs fo a DJ gig...
	7:15pm Handy Haversack: You at Troost, Barba Yiorgi?
	7:15pm ShelbyG: @chresti: so far, the most gratifying, beautiful thing about the violin for me has been feeling the sound in my body...it's really grounding & soul affirming
	7:16pm Rob W: ShelbyG it's fine to ask! I just can't say off the top of my head. I do play classic Bollywood from time to time but it varies...
	7:16pm Mr. Pumpy: Rob, I don't know if you've ever checked Hashshashin out. I think you may dig them. They are an interesting band from Sydney, Australia who uses quite an array of traditional instruments along with western musical sensibilities. Give them a try! hashshashin.bandcamp.com
	7:16pm Barba Yiorgi: Handy: Yes!
	7:17pm ShelbyG: @Rob: I hear you, thx
	7:17pm Handy Haversack: We just got back in town and are sort of wiped out, but I'll poll the room and see if we feel up to heading out!
	7:17pm Rob W: Barba Yiorgi of Annabouboula fame if not fortune!
	7:17pm ShelbyG: OPA
	7:17pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, make sure Bagpipe gets his usual three votes.
	7:20pm winston legthigh: my apology for the pause. was wine-ing and dining. thanks rob and all.
	7:22pm βrian: Limited by supplies, we had to go with vodka tonics. It's a beautiful warm evening here out behind the garage.
	7:24pm ShelbyG: @Brian: I wish it was here. It's super quiet & rainy. Vermont is pretty quiet anyway. I did have a moose run down my driveway yesterday. So, that's something.
	🌍 7:25pm chresti: ShelbyG, you can play along!
	7:26pm βrian: @ShelbyG: Where in VT? That's where I spent my Missing Years.
	7:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was born on the Vermont side & can almost see it from my house now :P ...& I suppose all my Years are more or less Missing...
	7:30pm βrian: An old friend lives in Thetford Center. If he's getting rain, I'm sure he's thrilled. The spring had nearly dried up.
	7:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We've had some rain, yes !
	7:34pm ShelbyG: I'm in Montpelier. We do need the rain badly.
	7:36pm βrian: Mount Peculiar! I remember it well. I lived in Monkton, mainly.
	7:37pm ShelbyG: @Brian: my 1st go 'round in VT were missing years, as well...ahh to be in my late 20's again (NO THANK YOU)
	7:43pm andal: You guys this sounds like the theme song to Topkapi
	7:45pm βrian: Ah, the sun has slipped behind the tall maple, and we breathe a sigh of relief.
	7:48pm Eric Kilkenny: Hello Rob
	7:51pm ShelbyG: Pop Muzik
	7:56pm Andres: Hi, Rob! Digging tonight’s sounds. Taboo Combo hit a real sweet spot!
	7:57pm Rob W: Hi and thanks to everyone!
	7:57pm Andres: *Tabou (Autocorrect you bugger! I know what I’m doing!)
	7:57pm βrian: No moose here, but the rabbits think they own the place. And they like merengue, clearly.
	7:58pm ShelbyG: @Brian: bunny merengue...that's silly
	7:59pm βrian: They've got me thinking about Lapin à la Moutarde.
	8:01pm ShelbyG: do not eat bunnies
	8:02pm βrian: Regarding my plantings: "Do not eat, bunnies!"
	8:03pm K.G.: Good evening all. Never too late for some great music to help turn the day around. Thank you Rob
	8:04pm βrian: In truth, we did what we could to shelter the bunny nests from our local owls. Maybe we should've stepped back.
	8:05pm βrian: Or maybe Lapin aux Myrtilles...
	8:06pm βrian: "I cheated a little." @Rob: May I borrow that phrase?
	8:08pm ShelbyG: @Brian: just stay out of Mother Nature's way, I guess?
	🌍 8:12pm slugluv1313: ASHWIN!!! <3 <3 <3

	🌍 8:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope Katie can still play the violin after this. Get well soon!
	🌍 8:26pm slugluv1313: yes when Maxwell's was still Maxwell's! amazing musician -- totally sweet human being -- i think i was on his mailing list for awhile too? would get newsletters/postcards in the mail, sometimes with recipes and news from the family's restaurant too
	🌍 8:27pm slugluv1313: oh no! i missed this -- FEEL BETTER, KATIE!!!
	8:28pm Mr. Pumpy: I think this was the temp music for Doctor Detroit.
	🌍 8:28pm Bas NL: Best recovery Katie.
	8:42pm ShelbyG: Speedy healing, Kate!
	8:44pm ShelbyG: Polkas always remind me of being at my cousin's wedding in Kansas. Very Polish family. I was about 8yo. My cousin's new husband about dislocated my shoulder during the Flying Dutchman. Holy moly.
	8:50pm Megaroni: Festive weekend to you TPSP!
	8:51pm Rob W: Thanks Megaroni and all!
	🌍 8:51pm slugluv1313: BOOGALOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! lucked out some years ago, saw Joe Cuba in one of the smaller "SummerStage" parks -- maybe St. Mary's Park in the Bronx? such a cool show
	🌍 8:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rob. E pluribus unum to all!
	8:55pm βrian: Polkas remind me of weddings because I used to work in a banquet department at a hotel. Weddings were generally stressful events. Polish weddings were a fucking blast.

	8:57pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Rob, great show!
	8:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Rob! Thanks, brother. Amazing music and vibes.
