	12:24pm David in London: Chrestikins!
	♥ 12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya crest!
	12:24pm Peter K.: doctorjazz, my only (minor) complaint about Richard Thompson's Saturday show is that he didn't do enough songs by other people. By my count there were either four or five (I forget), including a truncated "Silly Love Songs" and a "Norwegian Wood" on which he asked the audience to sing along because he couldn't remember the words. How many did he do on Friday?
	♥ 12:25pm chresti: Davidkins! Hi Andrew in TO!
	♥ 12:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hey chresti
	♥ 12:25pm Bas NL: @Sean Ohw, no.. the postman ate it!

	♥ 12:26pm Sean in Bristol UK: And we have the skip, happy days, the holiday season is complete
	♥ 12:26pm chresti: Hey Sean in Bristol! Mxterkins!
	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm Mxter Baba: chris in the redwoods! good morrow from Monterey Bay!
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: hey chris in the redwoods!
	♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: hi Sean, chris, everyone
	♥ 12:29pm Bas NL: Hi Chris!
	♥ 12:29pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya spodi!
	♥ 12:29pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, haven’t caught up but how is Buddy? Hope this fine lad is getting into the holiday spirit!
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm chris in the redwoods: i'm jelly, Baba... Monterey Bay's such a special spot on the planet.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm chris in the redwoods: i believe he's running around trying to get some last minute gifts, Sean. hehe.
	♥ 12:32pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, of course he will rushing to the stores at a most rapid rate!
	♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz: Peter, is had the same "complaint" Friday night, he didn't do many. He did Father Christmas (Kinks), IAint a Marchin' Anymore (Phil Kochs), Woops I Did it Again (Britney Spears, though that's really in RT's repertoire). I don't remember others, not many (I saw him pre-pandemic at the old City Winery, he did lots more, even took a chance on And Your Bird Can Sing...he didn't quite pull it off, but it was an amazing attempt).
	♥ 12:33pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	♥ 12:34pm adamdoesit: Hi Irene and Mondenizens. Happy solstice week! It only gets lighter from here… until they pull the rug out from under us with Daylight Savings Time again.
	♥ 12:34pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi adamdoesit!
	12:35pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Folks, anyone like to list their most obnoxious Christmas tunes that makes you want to knee someone in their groin! My top three has to be Slade, Wham and Ms Carey!
	12:36pm Peter K.: "Phil Kochs" is a pretty funny typo, at least to those of us who are aware of the Koch brothers. He did "Father Christmas" on Saturday too, which leads me to believe that it wasn't exactly a spontaneous choice!
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: woohoo Moondog <3
	12:36pm northguineahills: spodi, sean, chris, Bas, chresti, dr jazz, good morrow!
	♥ 12:37pm spodiodi: good morrow, Nghdog
	♥ 12:37pm doctorjazz: I passed on Yo La Tango this year...went last year, packed in like sardines (perfect covid incubator), went into endless guitar jams, standing hurt my back. I left early last year. (Hope your experience is/was better, @adamdoesit!)
	♥ 12:39pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti!\\//
	♥ 12:39pm Sean in Bristol UK: With you Annabella, can I add, Cris Rea. Mr Rea, can I get you a GPS (Sat Nav) as you have been driving home for Christmas for goodness how long, your are obviously lost buddy
	♥ 12:39pm Bas NL: Hi ngh!
	♥ 12:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: What a wonderful track from Mr Doan, this is how to do holiday music, beautiful
	♥ 12:41pm Brian in UK: RT's initial visit to America (not performing) first night he went to a party at Phil Kochs house. He did not throw anything in the pool!
	♥ 12:41pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: What a lovely set, Irene!
	♥ 12:41pm doctorjazz: I heard RT played Father Christmas at the Thursday show as well-you're likely right he prepared it. Ochs/Koch-ouch! RT many be playing at safe in his later years...
	♥ 12:41pm adamdoesit: doc, we'll see. EFD wrote that he found the first night almost intolerably crowded, and I imagine he has a higher tolerance for rock show crowds than I do. (Sitting at a table at Friday's Lambchop show was much more to my liking.) I'm a bit spooked, but hopeful that a Tuesday night show won't pack 'em in. Hi AiT!
	♥ 12:41pm Irene Trudel: Hi cresti and adamdoesit! Annabella, I can assure you we won't be hearing those tunes on this program!
	♥ 12:48pm Sean in Bristol UK: Irene, thank you so much for your Yuletide show, a supreme release from the crap I have to endure whilst shopping at supermarkets!
	12:52pm northguineahills: I have a Fahey xmas album laying around somewhere....
	♥ 12:53pm Irene Trudel: My pleasure, Sean! I try to tune it out as much as possible, which is especially difficult as the holidays approach.
	1:10pm northguineahills: i suppose i didn't need to be a clairvoyant to predict Fahey...
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Irene & all
	♥ 1:15pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there coel!
	1:15pm Yetz: R.I.P. Steffen Basho-Junghans. (He passed away Dec 1, I just found out)
	1:17pm katharsis: Hellos Irene and all!
	1:19pm Sylvia: this is very nice
	♥ 1:20pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: AW, thank you, Irene!!
	1:21pm northguineahills: @Yetz: yeah, right about the same time as Hamish Kilgour. I know Scott Williams and a few more played some Steffen Basho-Junghans that week...

	12:15pm Sylvia: haha, @David @Sean no worries, and thank you! @Bas thank you! stakes were high, I mean, have you listened to this radio station?!

	♥ 12:23pm chresti: Hi Irene and Irenites!
	12:24pm David in London: Chrestikins!
	♥ 12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya crest!
	12:24pm Peter K.: doctorjazz, my only (minor) complaint about Richard Thompson's Saturday show is that he didn't do enough songs by other people. By my count there were either four or five (I forget), including a truncated "Silly Love Songs" and a "Norwegian Wood" on which he asked the audience to sing along because he couldn't remember the words. How many did he do on Friday?
	♥ 12:25pm chresti: Davidkins! Hi Andrew in TO!
	♥ 12:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hey chresti
	♥ 12:25pm Bas NL: @Sean Ohw, no.. the postman ate it!

	♥ 12:26pm chresti: Hey Sean in Bristol! Mxterkins!
	🥁 ♥ 12:26pm Mxter Baba: chris in the redwoods! good morrow from Monterey Bay!
	♥ 12:27pm chresti: hey chris in the redwoods!
	♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: hi Sean, chris, everyone
	♥ 12:29pm Bas NL: Hi Chris!
	♥ 12:29pm Andrew in Toronto: Hiya spodi!
	♥ 12:29pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, haven’t caught up but how is Buddy? Hope this fine lad is getting into the holiday spirit!
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm chris in the redwoods: i'm jelly, Baba... Monterey Bay's such a special spot on the planet.
	♥ 12:30pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm chris in the redwoods: i believe he's running around trying to get some last minute gifts, Sean. hehe.
	♥ 12:32pm Sean in Bristol UK: Chris, of course he will rushing to the stores at a most rapid rate!
	♥ 12:32pm doctorjazz: Peter, is had the same "complaint" Friday night, he didn't do many. He did Father Christmas (Kinks), IAint a Marchin' Anymore (Phil Kochs), Woops I Did it Again (Britney Spears, though that's really in RT's repertoire). I don't remember others, not many (I saw him pre-pandemic at the old City Winery, he did lots more, even took a chance on And Your Bird Can Sing...he didn't quite pull it off, but it was an amazing attempt).
	♥ 12:33pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	♥ 12:34pm adamdoesit: Hi Irene and Mondenizens. Happy solstice week! It only gets lighter from here… until they pull the rug out from under us with Daylight Savings Time again.
	♥ 12:34pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi adamdoesit!
	12:35pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Folks, anyone like to list their most obnoxious Christmas tunes that makes you want to knee someone in their groin! My top three has to be Slade, Wham and Ms Carey!
	12:36pm Peter K.: "Phil Kochs" is a pretty funny typo, at least to those of us who are aware of the Koch brothers. He did "Father Christmas" on Saturday too, which leads me to believe that it wasn't exactly a spontaneous choice!
	♥ 12:36pm spodiodi: woohoo Moondog <3
	12:36pm northguineahills: spodi, sean, chris, Bas, chresti, dr jazz, good morrow!
	♥ 12:37pm spodiodi: good morrow, Nghdog
	♥ 12:37pm doctorjazz: I passed on Yo La Tango this year...went last year, packed in like sardines (perfect covid incubator), went into endless guitar jams, standing hurt my back. I left early last year. (Hope your experience is/was better, @adamdoesit!)
	♥ 12:39pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti!\\//
	♥ 12:39pm Sean in Bristol UK: With you Annabella, can I add, Cris Rea. Mr Rea, can I get you a GPS (Sat Nav) as you have been driving home for Christmas for goodness how long, your are obviously lost buddy
	♥ 12:39pm Bas NL: Hi ngh!
	♥ 12:40pm Sean in Bristol UK: What a wonderful track from Mr Doan, this is how to do holiday music, beautiful
	♥ 12:41pm Brian in UK: RT's initial visit to America (not performing) first night he went to a party at Phil Kochs house. He did not throw anything in the pool!
	♥ 12:41pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: What a lovely set, Irene!
	♥ 12:41pm doctorjazz: I heard RT played Father Christmas at the Thursday show as well-you're likely right he prepared it. Ochs/Koch-ouch! RT many be playing at safe in his later years...
	♥ 12:41pm adamdoesit: doc, we'll see. EFD wrote that he found the first night almost intolerably crowded, and I imagine he has a higher tolerance for rock show crowds than I do. (Sitting at a table at Friday's Lambchop show was much more to my liking.) I'm a bit spooked, but hopeful that a Tuesday night show won't pack 'em in. Hi AiT!
	♥ 12:41pm Irene Trudel: Hi cresti and adamdoesit! Annabella, I can assure you we won't be hearing those tunes on this program!
	♥ 12:48pm Sean in Bristol UK: Irene, thank you so much for your Yuletide show, a supreme release from the crap I have to endure whilst shopping at supermarkets!
	12:52pm northguineahills: I have a Fahey xmas album laying around somewhere....
	♥ 12:53pm Irene Trudel: My pleasure, Sean! I try to tune it out as much as possible, which is especially difficult as the holidays approach.
	1:10pm northguineahills: i suppose i didn't need to be a clairvoyant to predict Fahey...
