Listener comments!
	8:00pm ultradamno: Devon! Castaways!
	8:00pm DanFA: Ahoy! Mancini ahead!
	8:01pm ultradamno: Love some Mancini!
	8:02pm Deano de los Muertos: good evening Devon and islanders 🏝️
	8:04pm 3dnyc: looking forward to this!
	8:04pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, Devon and all.
	8:06pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): Ahoy, Devon & Islanders! I will alwyas consider this man's pre-Pink Panther work as his Golden Era (especially his theme for "Mr. Lucky", whom I have FXO (RIP) to thank for introducing me to it).
	8:07pm P-90: RIP fxo
	8:10pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Peter Gunn" by "Henry Mancini" I think Howard Shore was riffing on this sound for his Ed Wood score.
	8:10pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ Song: "Peter Gunn" by "Henry Mancini" YEAH, BAYBEE, YE-HEAH!
	8:11pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Peter Gunn" by "Henry Mancini" This and Pink Panther are the hits
	8:12pm Carmichael: Heya Devon and big banders.
	8:14pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: I rubbed elbows with a couple of old timers who worked for Mancini around my home town. One guy contracted orchestras to play the stuff in the midwest, a bunch of that guy's colleagues toured with Mancini for years. Sounded like a good gig!
	8:16pm chresti: Hi Devon and islanders!
	8:18pm Enflod: Mancini also wrote the theme music for "What's Happening"
	8:18pm P-90: Creature from the Black Lagoon wow
	8:21pm GC in Bmore: Everyone should know that Mancini’s wife Ginny was a great singer in vocal groups and then also a voice teacher. She’s the high lead voice on all of Mel Torme’s Mel Tones cuts and then went on to do a ton of voice work in other vocal groups. A giant in her own right.
	8:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Peter Gunn" by "Henry Mancini" PeterGunn would be enuff ! GameOver. But ! If I knew he did a mass or MonsterMoviez - I forgot ! Now I love him even more. Sitting outside waiting for the Full 🌕 Moon to rise ... which seems about right...
	8:23pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ Song: "Mr. Lucky Goes Latin" by "Henry Mancini" I was surprised when I first discovered this on YouTube. Nice to know that Mancini dabbled in doing fresh takes on his own themes.
	8:24pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ GC in Bmore @8:21 That's a good tip, thanks. What a couple!
	8:25pm ultradamno: Well, doing 'exotic' versions of stuff was the style of the day
	8:29pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Lujon" by "Henry Mancini" If anyone is wondering where they've heard this before, it was in The Big Lebowski during the Jackie Treehorn scene.
	8:30pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ ultradamno @8:25 It certainly worked out well, in this case!
	8:32pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: These bands, playing this stuff. So good!
	8:32pm Chris from Brooklyn: God I love this show Martini music appreciated brother
	8:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Bachelor In Paradise" by "Henry Mancini" Bob Hope really had to bar the door?
	8:34pm DanFA: ↳ Chris from Brooklyn @8:32 I hope you're wearing a tux.
	8:38pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): Where's Mr. Fab now? He should be here listening in!
	8:38pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Experiment In Terror" by "Henry Mancini" Bring out the sexy dancing girls.
	8:39pm Enflod: ↳ Song: "Experiment In Terror" by "Henry Mancini" Reminds me of some of the music in the Roadhouse scenes in Twin Peaks
	8:39pm chresti: Mancini → lounge
	8:40pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ Song: "Experiment In Terror" by "Henry Mancini" Hmm, where else on this station have I heard this?
	8:40pm DanFA: ↳ Enflod @8:39 I wouldn't be surprised if Badalamenti was influenced by Mancini. Definitely shades of the Pink Room from Fire Walk with Me.
	8:42pm ultradamno: ...and Audrey's Theme, yeah.
	8:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ DanFA @8:40 Yeah. I'm still wrapping my head around what the guy accomplished himself. His influence is probably pretty widespread.
	8:46pm Juli P: Cleaning but listening.
	8:47pm chresti: I've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's
	8:48pm DanFA: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @8:43 He's definitely on the Mount Rushmore of film composers, along with Morricone, Badalamenti, Hermann.
	8:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: The kids of today are not experiencing the fun of a famous composer providing music for their cartoons like folks got for the Pink Panther.
	8:49pm DanFA: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:48 Most movies don't even have scores these days. Just needle drops of pop or rock songs.
	8:49pm HyperDose: ↳ Juli P @8:46 Well that's just what you gotta do sometimes! 🧹🧼🪣
	8:50pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ DanFA @8:48 Try to imagine such a monument looming alongside the HOLLYWOOD sign!
	8:50pm ultradamno: Growing up with a large portion of the cartoons on TV having been made for large screens was rare gift
	8:51pm DanFA: ↳ A➡B (A=script, B=production) @8:50 It would be a lot of Italian representation.
	8:51pm Deano de los Muertos: gotta love WFMU..if we run outta time…just keep it rolling next week 🙌
	8:51pm chresti: I just don't have it in me to clean like I usta..
	8:52pm Juli P: Surprised how judgmental we are Is it jealousy? I am organizing clothing: it takes ions to get thru my things: If only I had the time: One day I will be organized w epic outcomes
	8:53pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ DanFA @8:49 In the case of period pieces, it can add an essential element to the film.
	8:53pm Juli P: ↳ chresti @8:51 I wait until I feel like it. If I don't I don't
	8:53pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Just watched David Niven in a movie last night! Mancini's tunes were like another character in those movies.
	8:53pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Charade (Main Title)" by "Henry Mancini" Highly recommend the Fantomas album Director's Cut, which features, among others, covers of Charade and Experiment In Terror done in an avant-metal style.
	8:54pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): ↳ DanFA @8:51 And some Jewish in there, too!
	8:55pm chresti: ↳ Juli P @8:53 Yeah that's the way to go..
	8:55pm DanFA: ↳ A➡B (A=script, B=production) @8:54 True
	8:56pm DanFA: Phenomenal show, Devon. Looking forward to part 2 next week.
	8:57pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks Devon!
	8:57pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Really loved the show tonight. Thanks, Devon and all!
	8:57pm chresti: Thanks Devon!
	8:58pm Devon E. Levins: Thanks for listening as always, ALL! Some exciting guests on the horizon...more Mancini to follow!
	8:59pm DanFA: ↳ Devon E. Levins @8:58 Molto Mancini
	8:59pm steveo: Thank you, Devon
	8:59pm A➡B (A=script, B=production): Bravo, Devon! Fantastic show! Thanks so much! And, yes, I too am also looking forward to Part 2 next week!
	9:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just wonderful. ~ TY Always DJ DEL ~
