Listener comments!
	🥁 11:55am Sean in Bristol UK: Good afternoon Irene, hello one and all
	11:59am Irene Trudel: Welcome Sean and all listening in today. In order to make my pledge goal for WFMU's Hellraiser, I'm playing lots of tracks by favorite electric guitarists. To make a little pledge in support, click on the Dog-Cow above!
	🥁 12:00pm David (in London): Hello Irene and assembled late October groovers.
	12:01pm melinda: hi everyone
	🥁 12:01pm Threemoons: Greets all!
	12:02pm Stanley: Good afternoon lovely Irene and lovely listeners
	12:02pm Irene Trudel: Greetings David, melinda and Threemoons!
	12:03pm Sylvia: Hello Irene, Sean, David, Melinda, Threemoons, Stanley and all!
	🥁 12:05pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene & music mavens. That fella in the middle of the shot does not look happy.
	🥁 12:06pm David (in London): Sean, melinda, 3M, Stanley, Sylvia, Brian, salutations good people.
	🥁 12:08pm Brian in UK: What-ho David & lovely Stanley & Sylvia.
	12:09pm Irene Trudel: Hey Stanley, Sylvia and Brian! That guy in the photo may be wincing at the volume. The picture was taken at a memorial for Lou Reed at The Cathedral of St. John the Diving in Manhattan. Lou's guitar tech set them all on high feedback level. If you click on the link, you'll actually find a few videos of the event and hear what it was like, cut down in level by my phone's limiting. The sound was glorious!
	12:13pm Stanley: Hi handsome Brian
	🥁 12:27pm Michael 98145: good sounds
	12:30pm prguitar: Hey there Irene, and fellow Drummer streamers! Sounds like I'm in the right place for the next three hours!! Lou Reed had many guitars, (some in the photo with his guitar tech) and tons of gear! He also had perfect pitch..
	🥁 12:32pm TonyR: Saw the VU documentary just last night. A+
	🥁 12:32pm TonyR: Whoever negotiated all that Warhol Estate-owned content deserves an Oscar.
	12:33pm Hubig Pie: The red guitar on the left still has the tag on it
	12:36pm Hubig Pie: Were all the strings tuned to D ?
	🥁 12:36pm TonyR: Rare sighting in the VU documentary: a photo of Lou laughing out loud (Andy is grabbing his crotch).
	🥁 12:38pm TonyR: Somewhere in an attic on Ludlow Street, there's a portrait of John Cale getting older and uglier.
	12:40pm TDK60: Hi Irene.
	🥁 12:41pm TonyR: Electric guitar is great and all, but right now IT needs MOAR DRUMS on this comment board.
	🥁 12:41pm Sean in Bristol UK: Going to be dipping in and out of the programme this evening, things to organise concerning my mum,
	🥁 12:42pm Michael 98145: drums and punkins
	🥁 12:43pm TonyR: Diving into someone else's life and organizing their life (or death) is endless but necessary and only taken on by the good of heart.
	12:44pm Stork: Hi Irene and all! All best with your mom, Sean.
	12:48pm Irene Trudel: Hiya prguitar, TonyR, Hubig Pie, TDK60, Michael and Stork! We're hoping to see the VU Documentary soon. Have heard a lot of good things about it.
	12:49pm Irene Trudel: Thinking about you, Sean. Hope the music helps.
	12:49pm TDK60: Hi Stork. Good show yesterday. Always up for a bit more classico stylee.
	🥁 12:52pm David (in London): TDK, Hubig, Stork. Evening all.
	12:53pm TDK60: David (iL): heya.
	12:55pm prguitar: @Sean in Bristol UK. Yes, all the best with your mum..and do take good care of yourself too.
	12:58pm Gerry from Miami: @prguitar. Much is made of this skill known as "perfect pitch." A bit overdone, I'd say. You don't have to have "it" to be a good musician. Lou Reed might have been able to "recognize" any note when played, but he certainly wasn't so hot at producing tonally perfect melodies with his voice. His mixture of a limited singing range and often "talky" presentation are what made him oddly appealing to many, including me. Long live the spirit of Lou!
	1:01pm Hubig Pie: David, hello mate
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: In since the jump but working away from the computer that has my login on it. Hey hey, Irene and all! Who's got ninety zords to put our amazing host over the top?
	1:15pm Phillippe: Howdy everyone
	1:17pm Irene Trudel: Hi Gerry, james and Phillippe!! Yes, I could use a few more $$ in pledges to make my show goal for the Hellraiser. It all goes to the greater good, keeping us going on these streams and airwaves.
	1:17pm Gerry from Miami: That Rez Abbasi record was a gas, but I think the highlight of that tune was the vocals contributed by his wife, Kiran Ahluwalia. Awesome stuff.
	1:23pm Constant Follower: Hello Irene! All :) Amazing show - my companion in the freezing studio while I set up.
	🥁 1:26pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	1:28pm Stork: Great one from Gary Lucas! other versions - by Don Cherry and Dollar Brand are also great.
	1:29pm TDK60: I saw Gary Lucas's set at a WFMU event at Monty Hall a few years back. He did acoustic that time.
	1:35pm Irene Trudel: Welcome Constant Follower and Summer and Michael and Sylvia! Happy to provide the warming tones today. TDK60, I think Gary uses acoustic the most bu does incorporate the electric into live shows too.
	🥁 1:39pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S
	🥁 1:49pm Bas NL: Hello Irene & Commenters!
	🥁 1:54pm David (in London): Hey Bas!
	1:54pm Irene Trudel: Hello Bas!
	🥁 1:56pm Bas NL: Seems i missed some two hours of great guitaring..glad to be here!
	2:00pm Irene Trudel: Well Bas, it's all going to be there in the archive for you later.
	2:00pm Gregg (in Los Angeles): Hey Irene: Have you ever crossed paths with Bruce Arnold? He's been around the downtown NYC scene for forever, and notably he is the head of Jazz Guitar studies at NYU. That Elyadeen Anbar track reminded me a lot of Bruce.
	🥁 2:01pm Bas NL: On my list, Irene! :)
	🥁 2:02pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	🥁 2:04pm Bas NL: And hi David!
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Hi Irene and all you out there!
	2:17pm Irene Trudel: Good to have you here, Gregg and doctorjazz! Gregg, I haven't encountered Bruce. I'll have to check out his work. There's so many from that scene that I need to be more aware of.
	2:24pm prguitar: @Gerry from Miami.. I agree completely! You really have covered it all! I used to work at Rudy's Music in NYC, building Rudy's Pensa Custom guitars. Prior to my time there, many of Lou's guitars were custom made in the store's repair shop. Lou's guitar techs, (there were quite a few over the years), and occasionally Lou himself would come in to pick up instruments left for set-ups or other custom work.. There is a story that one of my colleagues used to enjoy telling about a guitar he set up for Lou.. There was a rumor circulating that Lou had perfect pitch! Whether or not one is a fan of the VU or Lou's solo work, this sounded a little odd! My colleague was always a bit mischievous, so after hearing from our head luthier that this was actually true, he set up Lou's guitar perfectly, and when Lou came in to to check it out, making sure it was up to his very particular specifications, my colleague tuned the B string a few cents off. Lou sat down to play, and said, 'this is great!! Except what's up with the B string? It sounds like a cat scratching on a blackboard!' My colleague could barely believe this.. apologizing to Lou, he took the guitar back to his bench and retuned the B string perfectly! Lou played it again, and happily took the guitar upstairs to a studio where he was using it to work on a new album! Yes, it was a very sad day for rock music in NYC when Lou passed... His spirit is still amongst us. Lou and Laurie Anderson were neighbors.. we all lived in the same hood.. Fortunately Laurie still walks amongst us.
	🥁 2:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: Oh my goodness missed some great music, looking forward to catching up on the pieces I’ve missed via archive
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: Nice to hear some great guitar playing by two of my all-time faves from Capt. Beefheart's band while eating my lunch. Bill Harkelroad snd Elliott Ingber are killer players. Thanks for remembering them, Irene!
	2:34pm TDK60: prguitar -Thanks for that story. My B string is always going a few cents flat, on its own!
	2:38pm Irene Trudel: Great story prguitar! I had my own encounter with Lou, who was to appear on our live Soundcheck program. He was given my work number and called to ask me if I knew how to mix rock music, guitars specifically (I do). It was very intimidating to me but I think I was able to reassure him that it would sound okay.
	2:38pm Jeff Moore: Oh, cool – Lou Reed's The Bells soon after @sabretooth_dream posted about the album The Bells! Did her post remind you of this song, or are Lou and bells riding some zeitgeist wave? www.instagram.com...
	2:39pm prguitar: Thanks for playing Bill Harkleroad's work Irene! He really is an incredible musician, whether it's his work with Mr. Van Vliet, or Mallard, along with his own solo recording!!. I've been fortunate to have crossed paths with him. We have a mutual luthier friend. I was honored to be able to correspond with Bill some years ago when we discovered the mutual connection!
	🥁 2:42pm David (in London): My Lou story has to be a second-hand one, sadly. My friend Wheeler booked The VU to play at Rutgers University in 1966. Apparently they managed to empty the hall in about ten minutes. Wheeler was talking to Lou after the gig, and Lou looked at him and said gnomically, "Wheeler, every walkout a victory." One of my favourite lines of all time.
	2:44pm Jeff Moore: Nice.
	🥁 2:45pm Michael 98145: ( 1966! )
	🥁 2:47pm Bas NL: Good one, David!
	2:48pm Irene Trudel: Good to know Jeff, but I didn't see the post. I was just looking for something instrumental of Lou's to play. That was as close as I got (not counting Metal Machine Music).
	2:49pm Irene Trudel: Great story, David!
	2:49pm annie: ain't it funny.... time DOES slip away..
	2:53pm Irene Trudel: It sure does, annie! This show is almost over and I haven't quite made my goal-- but close enough! Thanks to all of you for the great comments and for your pledges to keep us going. Catch you all next Monday at noon. Do stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza! wfmu.org...
	🥁 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Irene
	2:55pm TDK60: Thanks Irene.
	🥁 2:55pm Bas NL: Boom! Thanks Irene!
	2:57pm Constant Follower: Thanks Irene :)
	2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Beautiful as always, Irene! Coming up next/now: Lost sound collages from the Austin years, right over here: wfmu.org...
	🥁 2:58pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show today Irene.
	🥁 3:00pm Threemoons: Thanks for the great set!
	3:00pm Irene Trudel: Thanks again Everybody!
	3:03pm prguitar: You're welcome Irene, and thanks for describing your encounter with Lou.. Sounds very typical.. He certainly could be intimidating.. I think it was due partly because of his perfectionism and also as a construct for protecting himself... He certainly was intensely complex.. Sorry to hear he was doubtful of your tremendous expertise! Certainly a difficult place to find yourself in. For his part, not a very useful way to interact with people in this life.. Thanks for this super show!! I've discovered so much that I'll be glad to return to! ❤️❤️
	🥁 3:32pm TonyR: I'mma have to archive. I missed IT's Lou story!

	3:03pm prguitar: You're welcome Irene, and thanks for describing your encounter with Lou.. Sounds very typical.. He certainly could be intimidating.. I think it was due partly because of his perfectionism and also as a construct for protecting himself... He certainly was intensely complex.. Sorry to hear he was doubtful of your tremendous expertise! Certainly a difficult place to find yourself in. For his part, not a very useful way to interact with people in this life.. Thanks for this super show!! I've discovered so much that I'll be glad to return to! ❤️❤️
	🥁 3:32pm TonyR: I'mma have to archive. I missed IT's Lou story!
