	7:21pm Dave Mandl: @drumbone: Break a leg. Folks, his group Mustafina is really good and you should check tham out.
	7:21pm Dave Mandl: "tham"?
	🤯 7:21pm G: Wakeman claims that he’s about to stop touring, in his late 70s. We’ll see. They all say “farewell tour” to drive sales, right?
	7:22pm dale: ↳ Song: "The Martyr" by "Wally" love this. very pop, top 40ish for prog. like ambrosia or renaissance.
	7:22pm dale: ....or kansas and styx.

	7:24pm dday: ↳ chresti @7:22 Will we ever hear Mandl's Messiah? Bass solo version of course :)
	7:25pm ultradamno: So more Witchita than Lawrence...
	7:25pm Dave Mandl: ↳ P-90 @7:24 Rickenbacker 4001 FTW.
	🤯 7:25pm SeaCreature: Hi what’s I miss, besides an obvious rickebacker bass?
	7:26pm P-90: Yep, anything proggy-poppy with fiddle is gonna sound like Kansas. The “Steinhardt Effect”
	7:26pm mic_a: Hello and best wishes, Dave & progolators! Dave -- I have snagged (for 'the nice price') a new-old-stock copy of the "Cassette Mythos" book you edited back in 1992! It looks to be a heady plunge back into 20th century undergroundiness.
	7:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Martyr" by "Wally" Very Gittar Gently Werps...
	7:26pm dale: mckendree spring has the fiddlesque prog feel too.
	7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:26 weEps ...I'm in the tub...
	7:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ ultradamno @7:25 Maybe so, but there are whispers of Lawrence here. I mean, check out the harpsichord-ish sounds.
	🤯 7:28pm chresti: ↳ dday @7:24 I hope so!
	🤯 7:29pm Troy: Just got back from Finland a couple days ago.
	🤯 7:29pm SeaCreature: Is that Cookie Monster
	7:29pm dday: ↳ P-90 @7:26 Kansas gets a bad rap becuase so many only know Dust in the Wind (dude). There's some instrumentals that are really great by them The Spider being one I like. Sadly Steinhardt's no longer with us
	7:30pm ultradamno: ↳ SeaCreature @7:29 Fronting Minutemen!
	🤯 7:30pm SeaCreature: ↳ ultradamno @7:30 Bullseye!
	7:30pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" Cookie Monster prog!
	🤯 7:30pm drumbone: MUSTAFINA is 3 members of ALICE DONUT (for you older folk)
	7:30pm lazy pierogi: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" reminds me a lot of Le Scrawl! so very similar, even in the "vocals" lol
	🤯 7:31pm chresti: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" my head's exploding now!
	7:31pm Saltonstall: Dave- Is Man Is The Bastard a prog band after all?
	7:31pm dday: ↳ dale @7:26 In the always weird billings at The Capitol in Passaic file. McKendree Spring opening for Zappa with Beefheart on the Bong Fury Tour .
	7:31pm laurapanic: ↳ drumbone @7:30 OH MY GOD
	7:32pm dale: ↳ dday @7:31 that sounds like a great bill!
	🤯 7:32pm SeaCreature: Hmm maybe i don’t need to be sweating third dang lyrics after all?
	🤯 7:32pm DjLorraine: Hi to all
	7:33pm dday: ↳ dale @7:32 It was a cool show. High School days
	🤯 7:33pm chresti: ↳ SeaCreature @7:32 Lyrics?
	7:33pm dday: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" So how many fingers does this guy have?
	7:34pm erictheise: Seventeen fingers but one vocal cord.
	7:34pm mic_a: It's nice that they have their dog doing the vocals.
	7:34pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" Kind of "Fishy"
	🤯 7:35pm drumbone: ↳ laurapanic @7:31 it's true! AD in the house
	7:35pm dday: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:34 I was thinking Les Claypool, but man :)
	7:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" I probably could use more brutal prog in my life.
	7:36pm dale: if brutalist architecture had a sound cause for effect would be it.
	7:36pm lazy pierogi: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" follow up listening: youtu.be...
	7:37pm Saltonstall: Prog Violence
	7:37pm ultradamno: I was just saying the other day there should be more geometry in math rock causeforeffect.bandcamp.com...
	🤯 7:38pm SeaCreature: ↳ chresti @7:33 I never finish recording anything except orchestral music (cuz no vocals)
	7:40pm Dave Mandl: BTW, welcome P-90, RRN63, SeaCreature, pierogi, Saltonstall, laura, Lorraine, mic_a. Sorry if I missed anyone.
	7:40pm tom tom the pipers son: brutal prog made me think of the revival of interest in brutalist architecture, is there an analogy in the reveval of interest in prog? is there an aesthetic analogy?
	7:40pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" This interlude was remarkable! Structured like much of the metal I've heard, but with a different timbre... and where the usual scary roar would be, a sound more like when a slightly clogged sink finishes draining and there's that little sucking sound.
	7:41pm Dave Mandl: ↳ mic_a @7:34 That's very funny.
	🤯 7:41pm SeaCreature: Wild and Zappa- esque kinda
	7:41pm Dave Mandl: Hey Jeff M! And tom tom!
	7:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Puppett of the Seasons" by "Horacee Arnold" This is definitely the rowdier side of jazz fusion.
	🤯 7:42pm chresti: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:40 Like a drain burp.
	7:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: Talk about
	🤯 7:42pm SeaCreature: Bit of Mikal urbaniak in that last one too
	🤯 7:43pm drumbone: Say WHAT???
	7:43pm Derbs: This sounded like Jan Hammer
	7:43pm dday: ↳ SeaCreature @7:41 An interesting Zappa doc. Worth the watch: www.imdb.com...
	🤯 7:44pm SeaCreature: ↳ dday @7:43 Thanks I need to watch that
	7:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ chresti @7:42 Yeah, that!
	7:45pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:41 Hey Dave!
	7:45pm P-90: The Nice! If one HAS to stick a pin in the map of time and space to try to indicate the “first” prog band, they’re it
	7:45pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Derbs @7:43 It was Jan Hammer!
	7:45pm Coach32sm: The only way I can listen to classical music!!!
	🤯 7:46pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... Wonder how many kitchen knifes were deployed during this song.
	7:47pm ultradamno: The Red Krayola might be in contention...though much of the first album was free form freakouts
	7:47pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Coach32sm @7:45 The Nice and ELP were probably the first place a lot of kids heard this (classical) music.
	7:47pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... This
	🤯 7:47pm Will thee Sound Guy: been listening, busy... Hi Dave Mandl and all!!! diggin the prog!
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... imagine this guy - and his immeasurable contribution to music... giving up on Life. fucking tragedy.
	7:48pm Dave Mandl: Hey, Will.
	7:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Yep. Or Switched-On Bach.
	7:48pm Dave Mandl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 True. That was sad and shocking. (Emerson died by suicide.)
	7:49pm dale: i'm a moodies guy. even if the original lineup was really an r and b group. by 67 they were prog. unless symphonic rock isn't really prog.
	7:49pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 and Buggs Bunny cartoons
	7:49pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Chris Hiatt @7:48 Not very rock, though?
	🤯 7:49pm G: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 He had carpal tunnel surgery and it worked for years, but when he (Emerson) felt his playing ability was going again, he decided he was done. Or so I’ve read.
	🤯 7:49pm Troy: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Warner Brother cartoons were my Classical gateway.
	7:49pm P-90: 1970 I think. And they had all the roots of prog well in place.
	7:50pm Coach32sm: Nice Nice
	🤯 7:50pm G: Didn’t Clay P mention this morning that this is the anniversary date of ELP’s breakup in 1979?
	7:50pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dale @7:49 Smallest symphony orchestra in the world - T Clark
	7:50pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:49 What you say is spot on. The Nice cast a wider net with the kids due to the rawk.
	7:52pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ G @7:50 Yeah I think I caught that. 10 years and done.
	7:52pm coelacanth: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @7:47 hey Will! - sorry i never said hi last evening i lost internet for the rest of the evening
	7:52pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:48 Underlying causes being nerve damage & his inability carry on playing. Very sad but I know what chronic pain does to the mind at times. Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac) killed himself due to chronic pain complications.
	7:52pm P-90: Little hints of “Karn Evil” there at the end
	🤯 7:52pm chresti: A fun farewell
	7:53pm P-90: Dave is the Keymaster
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Dave! Fun from hello to farewell! There is no Dana, only Zeuhl!
	🤯 7:54pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ coelacanth @7:52 no worries coelacanth! hope all is going well!
	7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ G @7:49 right...then you keep composing...and you keep enjoying all the other aspects of life! i guess he thought his keyboard playing was his only worth.
	7:54pm dday: "Mag-ma...Mag-ma" ;) Dr. Evil
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ P-90 @7:53 P-90 gets it.
	7:55pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 ELP was certainly my initial exposure to Mussorgsky. No disrespect intended, now I listen to the real deal as well.
	🤯 7:55pm G: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 I read at the time of his death that it bugged him that he had to cancel touring because he couldn’t do what he’d done all those years any more.
	7:56pm dale: saw that hipgnosis doc. gave me the feeling that they were more petulant shysters than artists just to see what they could get away with... but hey, they were certainly prolific and influential.
	7:56pm dday: ↳ G @7:55 He was also dealing with alcoholism & depression. a bad combo with the pain
	7:56pm Jeff Moore: Zeuhl: The term comes from Kobaïan, the fictional language created by Magma's Christian Vander and Klaus Blasquiz for Magma, in which Zeuhl Ẁortz means approximately "Celestial Force". Okay, so I guess speaking Kobaïan is WAY nerdier then Klingon.
	7:56pm Dave Mandl: ↳ dale @7:56 They did do beautiful work, though. Some of the all-time great covers.
	7:56pm Chris Hiatt: Great show tonight Dave, thank you. Nice to listen with you all.
	7:57pm Tom from Stirling: Always a pleasure. Thanks, man.
	7:57pm dale: and the opening/ending shot of the sole survivor carrying his portfolio on his back was wonderful.
	7:57pm Dave Mandl: Thanks always, folks. Have a fantastic week and hope to see you next time.
	7:57pm dale: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:56 no argument. they caught lightning in a bottle a LOT.
	🤯 7:58pm SeaCreature: This was wonderful, thanks Dave
	🤯 7:58pm Troy: Thanks Dave!
	7:58pm Jeff Moore: And it all flew by so fast and so complicated! Thanks, Dave!
	7:59pm mic_a: Thanks Dave. Be well, everyone.
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: seems like some have made links between brutalism and music though not prog thespoonsterspouts.com...
	7:59pm dale: when they did what they did jsut because they could, well, that's how art is made.
	7:59pm Coach32sm: Goes so quickly. Thanks for complicating us!!!
	7:59pm P-90: Thanks, stay complicated
	🤯 8:00pm Elena: Thank you!
	8:00pm ?: Well, shoot! You played Wally while I was on local public transportation. Glad you got around to them, though. A sadly ignored band.
	8:00pm dale: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:50 loved the pics of tony clark on the sleeves. always a rasputin look to him.
	🤯 8:00pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Dave Mandl!!!
	8:01pm Dean: I'm ?, and I think I'm the listener who rec'd Wally.
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Dave!
	8:01pm bleubombersune: Dave as usual great music. All stay safe and be well

	7:26pm mic_a: Hello and best wishes, Dave & progolators! Dave -- I have snagged (for 'the nice price') a new-old-stock copy of the "Cassette Mythos" book you edited back in 1992! It looks to be a heady plunge back into 20th century undergroundiness.
	7:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The Martyr" by "Wally" Very Gittar Gently Werps...
	7:26pm dale: mckendree spring has the fiddlesque prog feel too.
	7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:26 weEps ...I'm in the tub...
	7:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ ultradamno @7:25 Maybe so, but there are whispers of Lawrence here. I mean, check out the harpsichord-ish sounds.
	🤯 7:28pm chresti: ↳ dday @7:24 I hope so!
	🤯 7:29pm Troy: Just got back from Finland a couple days ago.
	🤯 7:29pm SeaCreature: Is that Cookie Monster
	7:29pm dday: ↳ P-90 @7:26 Kansas gets a bad rap becuase so many only know Dust in the Wind (dude). There's some instrumentals that are really great by them The Spider being one I like. Sadly Steinhardt's no longer with us
	7:30pm ultradamno: ↳ SeaCreature @7:29 Fronting Minutemen!
	🤯 7:30pm SeaCreature: ↳ ultradamno @7:30 Bullseye!
	7:30pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" Cookie Monster prog!
	🤯 7:30pm drumbone: MUSTAFINA is 3 members of ALICE DONUT (for you older folk)
	7:30pm lazy pierogi: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" reminds me a lot of Le Scrawl! so very similar, even in the "vocals" lol
	🤯 7:31pm chresti: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" my head's exploding now!
	7:31pm Saltonstall: Dave- Is Man Is The Bastard a prog band after all?
	7:31pm dday: ↳ dale @7:26 In the always weird billings at The Capitol in Passaic file. McKendree Spring opening for Zappa with Beefheart on the Bong Fury Tour .
	7:31pm laurapanic: ↳ drumbone @7:30 OH MY GOD
	7:32pm dale: ↳ dday @7:31 that sounds like a great bill!
	🤯 7:32pm SeaCreature: Hmm maybe i don’t need to be sweating third dang lyrics after all?
	🤯 7:32pm DjLorraine: Hi to all
	7:33pm dday: ↳ dale @7:32 It was a cool show. High School days
	🤯 7:33pm chresti: ↳ SeaCreature @7:32 Lyrics?
	7:33pm dday: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" So how many fingers does this guy have?
	7:34pm erictheise: Seventeen fingers but one vocal cord.
	7:34pm mic_a: It's nice that they have their dog doing the vocals.
	7:34pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" Kind of "Fishy"
	🤯 7:35pm drumbone: ↳ laurapanic @7:31 it's true! AD in the house
	7:35pm dday: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:34 I was thinking Les Claypool, but man :)
	7:36pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" I probably could use more brutal prog in my life.
	7:36pm dale: if brutalist architecture had a sound cause for effect would be it.
	7:36pm lazy pierogi: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" follow up listening: youtu.be...
	7:37pm Saltonstall: Prog Violence
	7:37pm ultradamno: I was just saying the other day there should be more geometry in math rock causeforeffect.bandcamp.com...
	🤯 7:38pm SeaCreature: ↳ chresti @7:33 I never finish recording anything except orchestral music (cuz no vocals)
	7:40pm Dave Mandl: BTW, welcome P-90, RRN63, SeaCreature, pierogi, Saltonstall, laura, Lorraine, mic_a. Sorry if I missed anyone.
	7:40pm tom tom the pipers son: brutal prog made me think of the revival of interest in brutalist architecture, is there an analogy in the reveval of interest in prog? is there an aesthetic analogy?
	7:40pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "[6 tracks]" by "Cause for Effect" This interlude was remarkable! Structured like much of the metal I've heard, but with a different timbre... and where the usual scary roar would be, a sound more like when a slightly clogged sink finishes draining and there's that little sucking sound.
	7:41pm Dave Mandl: ↳ mic_a @7:34 That's very funny.
	🤯 7:41pm SeaCreature: Wild and Zappa- esque kinda
	7:41pm Dave Mandl: Hey Jeff M! And tom tom!
	7:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Puppett of the Seasons" by "Horacee Arnold" This is definitely the rowdier side of jazz fusion.
	🤯 7:42pm chresti: ↳ Jeff Moore @7:40 Like a drain burp.
	7:42pm listener phat in Lincoln: Talk about
	🤯 7:42pm SeaCreature: Bit of Mikal urbaniak in that last one too
	🤯 7:43pm drumbone: Say WHAT???
	7:43pm Derbs: This sounded like Jan Hammer
	7:43pm dday: ↳ SeaCreature @7:41 An interesting Zappa doc. Worth the watch: www.imdb.com...
	🤯 7:44pm SeaCreature: ↳ dday @7:43 Thanks I need to watch that
	7:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ chresti @7:42 Yeah, that!
	7:45pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:41 Hey Dave!
	7:45pm P-90: The Nice! If one HAS to stick a pin in the map of time and space to try to indicate the “first” prog band, they’re it
	7:45pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Derbs @7:43 It was Jan Hammer!
	7:45pm Coach32sm: The only way I can listen to classical music!!!
	🤯 7:46pm Troy: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... Wonder how many kitchen knifes were deployed during this song.
	7:47pm ultradamno: The Red Krayola might be in contention...though much of the first album was free form freakouts
	7:47pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Coach32sm @7:45 The Nice and ELP were probably the first place a lot of kids heard this (classical) music.
	7:47pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... This
	🤯 7:47pm Will thee Sound Guy: been listening, busy... Hi Dave Mandl and all!!! diggin the prog!
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Pathetique (Symphony No. 6, 3rd Movement, P.I. Tc... imagine this guy - and his immeasurable contribution to music... giving up on Life. fucking tragedy.
	7:48pm Dave Mandl: Hey, Will.
	7:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Yep. Or Switched-On Bach.
	7:48pm Dave Mandl: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 True. That was sad and shocking. (Emerson died by suicide.)
	7:49pm dale: i'm a moodies guy. even if the original lineup was really an r and b group. by 67 they were prog. unless symphonic rock isn't really prog.
	7:49pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 and Buggs Bunny cartoons
	7:49pm Dave Mandl: ↳ Chris Hiatt @7:48 Not very rock, though?
	🤯 7:49pm G: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:48 He had carpal tunnel surgery and it worked for years, but when he (Emerson) felt his playing ability was going again, he decided he was done. Or so I’ve read.
	🤯 7:49pm Troy: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 Warner Brother cartoons were my Classical gateway.
	7:49pm P-90: 1970 I think. And they had all the roots of prog well in place.
	7:50pm Coach32sm: Nice Nice
	🤯 7:50pm G: Didn’t Clay P mention this morning that this is the anniversary date of ELP’s breakup in 1979?
	7:50pm Tom from Stirling: ↳ dale @7:49 Smallest symphony orchestra in the world - T Clark
	7:50pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:49 What you say is spot on. The Nice cast a wider net with the kids due to the rawk.
	7:52pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ G @7:50 Yeah I think I caught that. 10 years and done.
	7:52pm coelacanth: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @7:47 hey Will! - sorry i never said hi last evening i lost internet for the rest of the evening
	7:52pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:48 Underlying causes being nerve damage & his inability carry on playing. Very sad but I know what chronic pain does to the mind at times. Bob Welch (Fleetwood Mac) killed himself due to chronic pain complications.
	7:52pm P-90: Little hints of “Karn Evil” there at the end
	🤯 7:52pm chresti: A fun farewell
	7:53pm P-90: Dave is the Keymaster
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Dave! Fun from hello to farewell! There is no Dana, only Zeuhl!
	🤯 7:54pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ coelacanth @7:52 no worries coelacanth! hope all is going well!
	7:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ G @7:49 right...then you keep composing...and you keep enjoying all the other aspects of life! i guess he thought his keyboard playing was his only worth.
	7:54pm dday: "Mag-ma...Mag-ma" ;) Dr. Evil
	7:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ P-90 @7:53 P-90 gets it.
	7:55pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:47 ELP was certainly my initial exposure to Mussorgsky. No disrespect intended, now I listen to the real deal as well.
	🤯 7:55pm G: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:54 I read at the time of his death that it bugged him that he had to cancel touring because he couldn’t do what he’d done all those years any more.
	7:56pm dale: saw that hipgnosis doc. gave me the feeling that they were more petulant shysters than artists just to see what they could get away with... but hey, they were certainly prolific and influential.
	7:56pm dday: ↳ G @7:55 He was also dealing with alcoholism & depression. a bad combo with the pain
	7:56pm Jeff Moore: Zeuhl: The term comes from Kobaïan, the fictional language created by Magma's Christian Vander and Klaus Blasquiz for Magma, in which Zeuhl Ẁortz means approximately "Celestial Force". Okay, so I guess speaking Kobaïan is WAY nerdier then Klingon.
	7:56pm Dave Mandl: ↳ dale @7:56 They did do beautiful work, though. Some of the all-time great covers.
	7:56pm Chris Hiatt: Great show tonight Dave, thank you. Nice to listen with you all.
	7:57pm Tom from Stirling: Always a pleasure. Thanks, man.
	7:57pm dale: and the opening/ending shot of the sole survivor carrying his portfolio on his back was wonderful.
	7:57pm Dave Mandl: Thanks always, folks. Have a fantastic week and hope to see you next time.
	7:57pm dale: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:56 no argument. they caught lightning in a bottle a LOT.
	🤯 7:58pm SeaCreature: This was wonderful, thanks Dave
	🤯 7:58pm Troy: Thanks Dave!
	7:58pm Jeff Moore: And it all flew by so fast and so complicated! Thanks, Dave!
	7:59pm mic_a: Thanks Dave. Be well, everyone.
	7:59pm tom tom the pipers son: seems like some have made links between brutalism and music though not prog thespoonsterspouts.com...
	7:59pm dale: when they did what they did jsut because they could, well, that's how art is made.
	7:59pm Coach32sm: Goes so quickly. Thanks for complicating us!!!
	7:59pm P-90: Thanks, stay complicated
	🤯 8:00pm Elena: Thank you!
	8:00pm ?: Well, shoot! You played Wally while I was on local public transportation. Glad you got around to them, though. A sadly ignored band.
	8:00pm dale: ↳ Tom from Stirling @7:50 loved the pics of tony clark on the sleeves. always a rasputin look to him.
	🤯 8:00pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Dave Mandl!!!
	8:01pm Dean: I'm ?, and I think I'm the listener who rec'd Wally.
	8:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Dave!
