Listener comments!
	7:06pm DJ Peter: Welcome everybody! It's showtime!
	7:09pm Hill Country Fox: Ohhhh, Sunday... FUNday. So happy to have you in the fam Peter.
	7:09pm DJ Peter: Hey Foxy! How was Galveston?
	7:10pm Yvang: Hi DJ Peter! Were are all ears! I am speaking on behalf of all the other listeners! Hi Hill Country Fox! Hi Clock laughers!
	7:10pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @7:09 Galveston...ohhhhhh Galveston. I ate my weight in Gulf shirmp.
	7:11pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter, clockers, and contemporaries!
	7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Yvang @7:10 Goo Goo g'Joob! Yvang! Dance on adamdoesit! MMM... shrimp...
	7:12pm Hill Country Fox: www.instagram.com...
	7:14pm doctorjazz: Hi Laughing folks!
	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:12 Is that a metal detector? In its natural habitat? Hey Doc! Glad you could chime in!
	7:15pm Hill Country Fox: Nothing says good morning beach peeps like seeing a man with a metal detector.
	7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:15 They probably find even better stuff these days. Maybe less change. Maybe less cigarette lighters. But maybe more smart phones.
	7:17pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 kevin--he was sweet. He found a diamond ring once... (I talk to strangers. A lot.)
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Just walked in the door-went to NYC to see The Holdovers, sweet movie.
	7:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 Seems to be the surprise hit of the early holiday season, from what I'm hearing
	7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:15 Reminds me of another (sweet) TV series, the Dectorists (British).
	7:23pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:17 Islands are always full of transplants, who 'got there as soon as I could'. Kevin was born in Pittsburgh, but told me he’s from Galveston…I just love that. He asked me if I thought the woman was sad to lose her diamond..? I said she threw it into the ocean on purpose. Good riddance to bad rubbish.. I totally love that too. 💍🌊
	7:29pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Song: "Big Alice (alternate take)" by "Don Pullen" I'm listening...with my ears but not my hands for chat. I am putting my chat hands back in the vat of smoked meat in front of me--making brisket dolmas. Peter-play me something good for rollin'. <3
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Invisible" by "Ornette Coleman" Craft Records released a box set of this album and Tomorrow is the Question (in LP, CD, Download, and SACD versions, I believe). At one point they were marked down (haven't checked in a while)
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 Yeah so far I've resisted acquiring those albums for the third time... (says the guy who just got the Beatles Red and Blue albums sent from Japan on SHMCD)
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Opus de Funk" by "Art Pepper + Eleven" Also reissued by Craft Recordings, along with Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section. (they do a good jub, have to say)
	7:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 I've also mostly tried to hold out, I also have most (if not all) of these. Could't resist the Ornette Box, though, it was packaged in a sale along with the SACDs of the 2 albums, that hooked me. (they're reissuing the OJC series as well; I like the originals, haven't gotten any to compare as of now...)
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 You've got your hands on some of those Craft sets? [Ah youve answered my question]
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:45 (original OJC's, which of course were reissues of earlier albums...)
	🕰 7:46pm WR: Hi, have been listening but was in background as doiing errands. At restaurant and just ordered dinner.
	🕰 7:49pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exploring the Scene" by "The Poll Winners" was there two bass players or stereo panning going on on that
	7:52pm Dean: I know there's a world of difference between Galveston and Austin, whence I just returned last night, but the food was spectacular there, too.
	7:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 I've got a few more, they're packaged beautifully, and good sounding, sourced from master tapes (but, as you said, it's buying the same music again).
	7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:49 Hmm. Just Ray Brown, I'll look into who engineered that
	7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:46 Hi WR! As you know, the top two topics on the chat are always music and food!
	7:54pm Dean: Sometimes same music but different issue is worth the duplication. Pink Floyd's Meddle from Mobile Fidelity (CD) is great, but sometimes the generic digital issue from the '80s exhibits a little more vitality.
	7:55pm Dean: Let music be the food of love.
	7:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 Christian McBride (who I saw not long ago), loves Ray Brown (believe he studied with him), he's say he can fill in for muntiple bass players.
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" Speakig of sounding like multiple players (Hawes was self taught, if I remember correctly).
	7:57pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" Is it just me, or is this Hampton Hawes "I Got Rhythm" un-clicky-starrable?
	7:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:57 I can't find the star either, huh!
	7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" The name of the track doesn't appear on my screen either.
	7:59pm DJ Peter: There's your star!
	7:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:57 There's the refresh, the title, and the clicky-star. Thanks, DJ Peter!
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:59 Yeah turns out the playlist won't let you favorite a nameless tune! That's shortsighted, it seems to me.
	8:01pm doctorjazz: A Craft Reissue I really like is called The Birth Of Bop. 5 discs (but they're the smaller size discs) of great music from the 40s
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:56 I read that! Astonishing!
	8:02pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @7:52 Woo-Hoo.... I was summoned back to the chat by that keen Dean energy. Dean, my friend...!!!! I get the best of both worlds. I live in Austin, but I hail from the Galveston area, so I go back for visits. I'm eating hill country BBQ right now....
	8:02pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 "Who could ask for anything more?" <raises hand>
	8:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This Here (Dis Here)" by "Phineas Newborn, Jr." Another pianist with 20 fingers.
	8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @7:55 Indeed! Someone made the same comment this morning but it's certainly apt! Nourish the soul, the body, the spirit!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:02 Green pastures, Daisies, I've heard those are also things people can get.
	8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:04 Whew boy, i worked up a sweat just trying to use my two ears to keep up!
	8:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 10 inch discs...
	8:08pm chresti: Hi laugh O'clock!
	8:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:08 Everyone turn your clocks back an hour, chresti's here!
	8:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @8:04 20 fingers, and at least as many troubles. Another one who never got to go everywhere he should've got to go.
	8:12pm DJ Peter: Now I'm wishing I had programmed some Carl Perkins (who did not have the use of all 10 fingers), but I don't think he recorded for Contemporary, although he was on the L.A. scene
	8:14pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:10 Every hour!
	🕰 8:14pm WR: The 20 Fingers of Drs Newborn and Hawes.
	8:16pm chresti: I'm a 4 finger piano player
	8:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ chresti @8:16 …in a 5 finger pickup band?
	8:19pm DJ Peter: If I have to tell you one more time to keep your fingers to yourselves I'm turning this show around and we can all just sit at home! Phew, became my dad for a second there.
	8:20pm chresti: Ha never occurred to me to have backup fingers!
	8:20pm Dean: I walked miles while I was in Austin. Had a couple good drinks at Dive on Guadalupe, barbecue at Black's, and an ultra-satisfying dinner at Hopfield's. Was only able to visit Waterloo, but found a handful of goodies, including a Jimmy LaFave record I had been missing.
	8:21pm Dean: I urge my kids very selectively to give a finger to others, e.g., police, school administration, other parents...
	8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:21 You need the wisdom to know which finger for which occasion, and the serenity to know you can just keep your hand in your pocket.
	8:22pm Hill Country Fox: You guys! I've been working on a '99 fingers but a B ain't one' joke, but it is not quite coming together. Y'all know I have a soft spot for the mentally unwell so Phineas... oh Phineas. I have Harlem Blues cued up for my walk morning tomorrow.
	🕰 8:24pm WR: I worked at a record distributor in 1971 that handled Contemporary Records. I was totally broke and low paid, so the only LOs I bought were the Ornette ones & Sonny Rollins Way Out West but I eyeballed the all. Nomice to finally hear some of them.
	8:24pm TDK60: Hello DJ Peter.
	8:25pm Dean: Dined as well at Driskill Grill. Believe it or not, lunch at the UT Austin Club was spectacular. I'm now trying to convince my son to apply to UTA. Beautiful campus, excellent academics, fun town.
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:24 I'm really interested in the business/distribution aspect, hope to hear some stories when you're in the mood to reminisce!
	8:26pm DJ Peter: TDK60! Good to see you! (I was always partial to the TDK90s in the day, but i'm sure the 60s were better, technically speaking.)
	8:27pm Dean: Did anybody buy Nakamichi cassettes? I did when I had a Nakamichi player.
	8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:27 I had a Nakamichi tape deck (still in the basement somewhere, I believe, but not in working order), but never saw the tapes (TDK and Maxell). The 60 minute tapes were supposed to be more resistant to breaking and stretching (but I mostly bought 90s as well)
	🕰 8:29pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Sometime we can talk about that. Have couple othe friends who were in the biz. Maybe do teams or zoom and record it.
	8:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Blue Grass" by "Barney Kessel" I love this album but I hate the way it's mixed, with the bass hard left. I hadn't realized until today that the bass on the Jimmy Woods album is mixed hard right. It's very weird in headphones.
	8:30pm Dean: I so wanted a Dragon, but it was not to be.
	8:30pm TDK60: I probably had more 90-min tapes.
	8:30pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:25 Good plan Dean. I am myself a Longhorn. Loved UT and Austin..that is how my whole immediate family wound up here. They all followed me to college, because they fell in love with Austin. I do have to get out of Austin for most of my jazz intake--Houston is usually my town for that. ;)
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:29 That would be fun! I'm down for hosting. (In all my spare time)
	8:31pm doctorjazz: I have a friend who used to work at ASCAP (a bit different than distribution). He did get me some deals and in to some shows, though.
	🕰 8:31pm WR: And dean worked in retail at the zenith of the LP era. could be a pudcast [stet] series
	8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:30 Same, had an Rx-303 (good friend, an audiophile with deep pockets, had a Dragon).
	8:33pm solo mon: clock sez what 🕰️😝
	8:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Acclamation" by "Max Roach & Abdullah Ibrahim" Don't think I have/know this Ibrahim/Roach, nice sounding (even as bed music).
	8:35pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:27 What's your favorite player?
	🕰 8:36pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @8:35 DJ Peter frustrates me a bit by using tracks I wanna hear as bed music.
	8:36pm Dean: My connections with distribution, though, were slight, but important. Steve Boudreau left Music Plus to establish a firm distributing imports. I benefited from that connection. I visited Stranded Records in Oakland last week. They guys were talking about repairing a Nakamichi player. I don't remember which one I had, but I know it wasn't that ridiculous one that spun the disc around like a carousel. I have a by-now old NAD, chresti, that I have never used. It remains packaged. So, I don't have a favorite, yet I still wish I'd had a Dragon.
	8:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:36 Same, the Don Pullen drives me nuts!!!!
	8:37pm chresti: ↳ WR @8:31 A zenith salesman?
	8:37pm Dean: Not "disc," "cassette."
	8:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:36 Leave 'em wanting more is a motto I live by. But maybe I should feature some of these tracks straight up sometime.
	8:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:38 Sounds like you got your New Year's show right there. Time for me to go read. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:40pm WR: ↳ chresti @8:37 Imagining different scenarios of customers asking dean for assistance at the record store.
	8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:37 Oh wow... that's a brandname I haven't thought about in a long time!
	8:40pm Hill Country Fox: Oh yes, speaking of traveling for jazz. I will be in Denton, TX this weekend volunteering at the Molten Plains Festival.... I'll be the one in the vintage caftan. Come say "howdy"...! Oh yeah, and Joe McPhee will be there too. And my buddies-David Dove, Carmina Escobar, and Damon Smith. Full line-up: moltenplains.com...
	🕰 8:41pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:40 My parents first tv was a Zenith. We had a Zenith radio too.
	8:41pm doctorjazz: My parents had a Zenith Home Entertainment Center (TV, radio, record changer), my first music player.
	8:42pm Dean: My parents' first color TV was an Admiral. Damon Smith spent time in these parts, Oakland.
	8:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Supra Changes" by "Ricky Ford" This chord progression reminds me of some jazz tune, can't place it...
	8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 I think the title is alluding to "Giant Steps" but maybe altered?
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: hi Peter and all
	8:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:43 It constantly descends, not quite Giant Steps (but maybe that's what he started with).
	🕰 8:44pm WR: Ok, dinner done, back on the train. Will be listening. Laters.Thanks Peter!
	8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:44 I think it might be "Giant Steps" but two beats for every chord, instead of staying on some of them for a full four beat measure. Maybe?
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:44 Maybe something by Monk?
	8:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:45 Ah you may be thinking of "Thelonious"?
	8:46pm solo mon: ↳ Song: "Radio Bossa" by "Joseph Holbrooke Trio" this is cool
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ solo mon @8:46 Ha Ha to you, solo mon!
	8:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:46 That feels closer to me
	8:50pm doctorjazz: OK, early morning, will check out now as well, loved the show Peter, thanks!
	8:51pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:20 Ok, Dean--I am STILL thinking of our #missedconnections in Austin. Sorry, I didn't get to meet you pal. We could have arm wrested over a certain free jazz sax man to remain nameless. ;)
	8:53pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Song: "La Vida Feliz (The Happy Life)" by "McCoy Tyner" Bobby Hutcherson!!
	8:55pm doctorjazz: What the heck, hanging until the end...
	8:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 McCoy Tyner cannot be denied. Attention must be paid!
	8:57pm Dean: Wait, HCF, which sax player? I'm also sorry we didn't get to meet up. Along these lines, I walked in to my local Whole Foods today, where one of the staff asked me, "How many WFMU t-shirts do you have?!" By the way, I did visit the flagship WF, which is across the street from Waterloo.
	8:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:42 Dean, on headphones: I really like the way the Final headphones sound (using them now), but the most comfortable ones I've used are Sennheisers.
	8:58pm Hill Country Fox: PHENOM END to a great show master P. That little hint on Bobby Hutcherson was not enough for me... Might have to change my morning walk album "San Francisco" sorry Phineas... ok, nite, nite everyone!!!! See you humpday in Ridgewood... Abrazos!!!!
	8:58pm Dean: Thanks, doctorjazz. It's possible that a long way down the road I'll compromise my distaste for 'phones.
	8:58pm TDK60: Thanks.
	8:59pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:57 hahahahahahaha... Peter Brötzmann.
	9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: bailey died in dec of '05
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Again, thank you!
	9:00pm Yvang: Thanks DJ Peter!
	9:00pm Dean: Oh, right. My memory is dissipating.
	9:00pm chresti: Thanks Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks everbody! Tom Tom, hello and goodbye!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from December 3, 2023

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:12 Is that a metal detector? In its natural habitat? Hey Doc! Glad you could chime in!
	7:15pm Hill Country Fox: Nothing says good morning beach peeps like seeing a man with a metal detector.

	7:17pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ DJ Peter @7:16 kevin--he was sweet. He found a diamond ring once... (I talk to strangers. A lot.)
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Just walked in the door-went to NYC to see The Holdovers, sweet movie.
	7:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 Seems to be the surprise hit of the early holiday season, from what I'm hearing
	7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:15 Reminds me of another (sweet) TV series, the Dectorists (British).
	7:23pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Hill Country Fox @7:17 Islands are always full of transplants, who 'got there as soon as I could'. Kevin was born in Pittsburgh, but told me he’s from Galveston…I just love that. He asked me if I thought the woman was sad to lose her diamond..? I said she threw it into the ocean on purpose. Good riddance to bad rubbish.. I totally love that too. 💍🌊
	7:29pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Song: "Big Alice (alternate take)" by "Don Pullen" I'm listening...with my ears but not my hands for chat. I am putting my chat hands back in the vat of smoked meat in front of me--making brisket dolmas. Peter-play me something good for rollin'. <3
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Invisible" by "Ornette Coleman" Craft Records released a box set of this album and Tomorrow is the Question (in LP, CD, Download, and SACD versions, I believe). At one point they were marked down (haven't checked in a while)
	7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:39 Yeah so far I've resisted acquiring those albums for the third time... (says the guy who just got the Beatles Red and Blue albums sent from Japan on SHMCD)
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Opus de Funk" by "Art Pepper + Eleven" Also reissued by Craft Recordings, along with Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section. (they do a good jub, have to say)
	7:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:41 I've also mostly tried to hold out, I also have most (if not all) of these. Could't resist the Ornette Box, though, it was packaged in a sale along with the SACDs of the 2 albums, that hooked me. (they're reissuing the OJC series as well; I like the originals, haven't gotten any to compare as of now...)
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:42 You've got your hands on some of those Craft sets? [Ah youve answered my question]
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:45 (original OJC's, which of course were reissues of earlier albums...)
	🕰 7:46pm WR: Hi, have been listening but was in background as doiing errands. At restaurant and just ordered dinner.
	🕰 7:49pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exploring the Scene" by "The Poll Winners" was there two bass players or stereo panning going on on that
	7:52pm Dean: I know there's a world of difference between Galveston and Austin, whence I just returned last night, but the food was spectacular there, too.
	7:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 I've got a few more, they're packaged beautifully, and good sounding, sourced from master tapes (but, as you said, it's buying the same music again).
	7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:49 Hmm. Just Ray Brown, I'll look into who engineered that
	7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:46 Hi WR! As you know, the top two topics on the chat are always music and food!
	7:54pm Dean: Sometimes same music but different issue is worth the duplication. Pink Floyd's Meddle from Mobile Fidelity (CD) is great, but sometimes the generic digital issue from the '80s exhibits a little more vitality.
	7:55pm Dean: Let music be the food of love.
	7:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:53 Christian McBride (who I saw not long ago), loves Ray Brown (believe he studied with him), he's say he can fill in for muntiple bass players.
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" Speakig of sounding like multiple players (Hawes was self taught, if I remember correctly).
	7:57pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" Is it just me, or is this Hampton Hawes "I Got Rhythm" un-clicky-starrable?
	7:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:57 I can't find the star either, huh!
	7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Got Rhythm" by "Hampton Hawes" The name of the track doesn't appear on my screen either.
	7:59pm DJ Peter: There's your star!
	7:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:57 There's the refresh, the title, and the clicky-star. Thanks, DJ Peter!
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:59 Yeah turns out the playlist won't let you favorite a nameless tune! That's shortsighted, it seems to me.
	8:01pm doctorjazz: A Craft Reissue I really like is called The Birth Of Bop. 5 discs (but they're the smaller size discs) of great music from the 40s
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:56 I read that! Astonishing!
	8:02pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @7:52 Woo-Hoo.... I was summoned back to the chat by that keen Dean energy. Dean, my friend...!!!! I get the best of both worlds. I live in Austin, but I hail from the Galveston area, so I go back for visits. I'm eating hill country BBQ right now....
	8:02pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 "Who could ask for anything more?" <raises hand>
	8:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "This Here (Dis Here)" by "Phineas Newborn, Jr." Another pianist with 20 fingers.
	8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @7:55 Indeed! Someone made the same comment this morning but it's certainly apt! Nourish the soul, the body, the spirit!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:02 Green pastures, Daisies, I've heard those are also things people can get.
	8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:04 Whew boy, i worked up a sweat just trying to use my two ears to keep up!
	8:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 10 inch discs...
	8:08pm chresti: Hi laugh O'clock!
	8:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:08 Everyone turn your clocks back an hour, chresti's here!
	8:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @8:04 20 fingers, and at least as many troubles. Another one who never got to go everywhere he should've got to go.
	8:12pm DJ Peter: Now I'm wishing I had programmed some Carl Perkins (who did not have the use of all 10 fingers), but I don't think he recorded for Contemporary, although he was on the L.A. scene
	8:14pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:10 Every hour!
	🕰 8:14pm WR: The 20 Fingers of Drs Newborn and Hawes.
	8:16pm chresti: I'm a 4 finger piano player
	8:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ chresti @8:16 …in a 5 finger pickup band?
	8:19pm DJ Peter: If I have to tell you one more time to keep your fingers to yourselves I'm turning this show around and we can all just sit at home! Phew, became my dad for a second there.
	8:20pm chresti: Ha never occurred to me to have backup fingers!
	8:20pm Dean: I walked miles while I was in Austin. Had a couple good drinks at Dive on Guadalupe, barbecue at Black's, and an ultra-satisfying dinner at Hopfield's. Was only able to visit Waterloo, but found a handful of goodies, including a Jimmy LaFave record I had been missing.
	8:21pm Dean: I urge my kids very selectively to give a finger to others, e.g., police, school administration, other parents...
	8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:21 You need the wisdom to know which finger for which occasion, and the serenity to know you can just keep your hand in your pocket.
	8:22pm Hill Country Fox: You guys! I've been working on a '99 fingers but a B ain't one' joke, but it is not quite coming together. Y'all know I have a soft spot for the mentally unwell so Phineas... oh Phineas. I have Harlem Blues cued up for my walk morning tomorrow.
	🕰 8:24pm WR: I worked at a record distributor in 1971 that handled Contemporary Records. I was totally broke and low paid, so the only LOs I bought were the Ornette ones & Sonny Rollins Way Out West but I eyeballed the all. Nomice to finally hear some of them.
	8:24pm TDK60: Hello DJ Peter.
	8:25pm Dean: Dined as well at Driskill Grill. Believe it or not, lunch at the UT Austin Club was spectacular. I'm now trying to convince my son to apply to UTA. Beautiful campus, excellent academics, fun town.
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:24 I'm really interested in the business/distribution aspect, hope to hear some stories when you're in the mood to reminisce!
	8:26pm DJ Peter: TDK60! Good to see you! (I was always partial to the TDK90s in the day, but i'm sure the 60s were better, technically speaking.)
	8:27pm Dean: Did anybody buy Nakamichi cassettes? I did when I had a Nakamichi player.
	8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:27 I had a Nakamichi tape deck (still in the basement somewhere, I believe, but not in working order), but never saw the tapes (TDK and Maxell). The 60 minute tapes were supposed to be more resistant to breaking and stretching (but I mostly bought 90s as well)
	🕰 8:29pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Sometime we can talk about that. Have couple othe friends who were in the biz. Maybe do teams or zoom and record it.
	8:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Blue Grass" by "Barney Kessel" I love this album but I hate the way it's mixed, with the bass hard left. I hadn't realized until today that the bass on the Jimmy Woods album is mixed hard right. It's very weird in headphones.
	8:30pm Dean: I so wanted a Dragon, but it was not to be.
	8:30pm TDK60: I probably had more 90-min tapes.
	8:30pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:25 Good plan Dean. I am myself a Longhorn. Loved UT and Austin..that is how my whole immediate family wound up here. They all followed me to college, because they fell in love with Austin. I do have to get out of Austin for most of my jazz intake--Houston is usually my town for that. ;)
	8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:29 That would be fun! I'm down for hosting. (In all my spare time)
	8:31pm doctorjazz: I have a friend who used to work at ASCAP (a bit different than distribution). He did get me some deals and in to some shows, though.
	🕰 8:31pm WR: And dean worked in retail at the zenith of the LP era. could be a pudcast [stet] series
	8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:30 Same, had an Rx-303 (good friend, an audiophile with deep pockets, had a Dragon).
	8:33pm solo mon: clock sez what 🕰️😝
	8:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Acclamation" by "Max Roach & Abdullah Ibrahim" Don't think I have/know this Ibrahim/Roach, nice sounding (even as bed music).
	8:35pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:27 What's your favorite player?
	🕰 8:36pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @8:35 DJ Peter frustrates me a bit by using tracks I wanna hear as bed music.
	8:36pm Dean: My connections with distribution, though, were slight, but important. Steve Boudreau left Music Plus to establish a firm distributing imports. I benefited from that connection. I visited Stranded Records in Oakland last week. They guys were talking about repairing a Nakamichi player. I don't remember which one I had, but I know it wasn't that ridiculous one that spun the disc around like a carousel. I have a by-now old NAD, chresti, that I have never used. It remains packaged. So, I don't have a favorite, yet I still wish I'd had a Dragon.
	8:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:36 Same, the Don Pullen drives me nuts!!!!
	8:37pm chresti: ↳ WR @8:31 A zenith salesman?
	8:37pm Dean: Not "disc," "cassette."
	8:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:36 Leave 'em wanting more is a motto I live by. But maybe I should feature some of these tracks straight up sometime.
	8:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:38 Sounds like you got your New Year's show right there. Time for me to go read. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:40pm WR: ↳ chresti @8:37 Imagining different scenarios of customers asking dean for assistance at the record store.
	8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:37 Oh wow... that's a brandname I haven't thought about in a long time!
	8:40pm Hill Country Fox: Oh yes, speaking of traveling for jazz. I will be in Denton, TX this weekend volunteering at the Molten Plains Festival.... I'll be the one in the vintage caftan. Come say "howdy"...! Oh yeah, and Joe McPhee will be there too. And my buddies-David Dove, Carmina Escobar, and Damon Smith. Full line-up: moltenplains.com...
	🕰 8:41pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @8:40 My parents first tv was a Zenith. We had a Zenith radio too.
	8:41pm doctorjazz: My parents had a Zenith Home Entertainment Center (TV, radio, record changer), my first music player.
	8:42pm Dean: My parents' first color TV was an Admiral. Damon Smith spent time in these parts, Oakland.
	8:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Supra Changes" by "Ricky Ford" This chord progression reminds me of some jazz tune, can't place it...
	8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:42 I think the title is alluding to "Giant Steps" but maybe altered?
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: hi Peter and all
	8:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:43 It constantly descends, not quite Giant Steps (but maybe that's what he started with).
	🕰 8:44pm WR: Ok, dinner done, back on the train. Will be listening. Laters.Thanks Peter!
	8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:44 I think it might be "Giant Steps" but two beats for every chord, instead of staying on some of them for a full four beat measure. Maybe?
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:44 Maybe something by Monk?
	8:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:45 Ah you may be thinking of "Thelonious"?
	8:46pm solo mon: ↳ Song: "Radio Bossa" by "Joseph Holbrooke Trio" this is cool
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ solo mon @8:46 Ha Ha to you, solo mon!
	8:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:46 That feels closer to me
	8:50pm doctorjazz: OK, early morning, will check out now as well, loved the show Peter, thanks!
	8:51pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:20 Ok, Dean--I am STILL thinking of our #missedconnections in Austin. Sorry, I didn't get to meet you pal. We could have arm wrested over a certain free jazz sax man to remain nameless. ;)
	8:53pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Song: "La Vida Feliz (The Happy Life)" by "McCoy Tyner" Bobby Hutcherson!!
	8:55pm doctorjazz: What the heck, hanging until the end...
	8:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 McCoy Tyner cannot be denied. Attention must be paid!
	8:57pm Dean: Wait, HCF, which sax player? I'm also sorry we didn't get to meet up. Along these lines, I walked in to my local Whole Foods today, where one of the staff asked me, "How many WFMU t-shirts do you have?!" By the way, I did visit the flagship WF, which is across the street from Waterloo.
	8:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:42 Dean, on headphones: I really like the way the Final headphones sound (using them now), but the most comfortable ones I've used are Sennheisers.
	8:58pm Hill Country Fox: PHENOM END to a great show master P. That little hint on Bobby Hutcherson was not enough for me... Might have to change my morning walk album "San Francisco" sorry Phineas... ok, nite, nite everyone!!!! See you humpday in Ridgewood... Abrazos!!!!
	8:58pm Dean: Thanks, doctorjazz. It's possible that a long way down the road I'll compromise my distaste for 'phones.
	8:58pm TDK60: Thanks.
	8:59pm Hill Country Fox: ↳ Dean @8:57 hahahahahahaha... Peter Brötzmann.
	9:00pm tom tom the pipers son: bailey died in dec of '05
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Again, thank you!
	9:00pm Yvang: Thanks DJ Peter!
	9:00pm Dean: Oh, right. My memory is dissipating.
	9:00pm chresti: Thanks Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks everbody! Tom Tom, hello and goodbye!
