WFMU: The Stork Club with Stork: Playlist from October 13, 2024

Listener comments!
	🥁 8:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Water 🐒Monkey ' John “Johnny” Dillard Lytle (October 13, 1932 in Springfield, Ohio – December 15, 1995 in Springfield) was an American jazz drummer and vibraphonist... Lionel Hampton said Lytle was "the greatest vibes player in the world." Lytle was known for his great hand speed and showmanship... He found success early in his career with chart-topping albums like A Groove, Moon Child, and The Loop. From his swinging uptempo tracks to his soul-satisfying ballads, Lytle knew how to keep a groove. And with a nickname like "Fast Hands", he could always keep the attention of an audience. In addition to his musicianship, his gregarious personality made him a popular attraction on the jazz circuit. Even though he did not experience the same success he was privileged to during the 1960s, he did continue to record and build a respectable catalog of music with recordings in the '70s, '80s and '90s '... ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Earth 🐀Rat ' Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan PP (Punjabi: نصرت فتح علی خان, Punjabi pronunciation: [nʊsˈɾət̪ ˈfət̪e(ɦ) əliː ˈxɑːn]; born Pervez Fateh Ali Khan; 13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997), popularly abbreviated as NFAK was a Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director. He was primarily a singer of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music. Often called the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" (the King of Kings of Qawwali), he is considered by The New York Times to be the greatest Qawwali singer of all time. He was described as the fourth greatest singer of all time by LA Weekly in 2016. He was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours. Khan is widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences. He was also a master of Hindustani classical music '... ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Metal 🐉Dragon ' Pharoah Sanders (born Ferrell Lee Sanders; October 13, 1940 – September 24, 2022) was an American jazz saxophonist. Known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound", Sanders played a prominent role in the development of free jazz and spiritual jazz through his work as a member of John Coltrane's groups in the mid-1960s, and later through his solo work. He released more than thirty albums as a leader and collaborated extensively with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Alice Coltrane, among many others. Fellow saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world". Sanders' take on spiritual jazz was rooted in his inspiration from religious concepts such as karma and tawhid, and his rich, meditative performance aesthetic. This style was seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders was considered to have been a disciple of Coltrane or, as Albert Ayler said, "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost" '...

	12:10pm DJ Peter: Let's go!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blue Vibes" by "Johnny Lytle Trio" If one can distinguish thetone of vibes players, I'd say Lytle has a sweet tone.
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 Maybe a bit less sharp/leading edge, a bit more "blending" of notes...
	12:13pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:10 Unkrautsalad was a listen on our drive to Ottawa, and we loved it. Hubby was wondering if you have, easily accessible like, the albums the cuts were taken from? He's quite smitten with the CD.

	12:15pm Stork: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:13 That or the pre-Halloween gremlins!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The New Village Caller" by "Johnny Lytle" Don't see Ron Carter credited on electric bass that often...
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Carter just had a gig in NYC...
	12:17pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 Funky is he! Lionel Hampton said he was the best ever (!) And Lionel def had no self-esteem issues! The fast, hard hands of a Golden-Gloves chapion, which he was.
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Lennie Hibbert does a gorgeous reggae cover of this melody. He calls "Vintage Soul."
	12:17pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Seeing him at the Blue Note is in the top 10 of live performances I've seen.

	12:21pm Stork: ↳ Stork @12:17 "champion"

	12:28pm Stork: ↳ Mike Cooper @12:26 Mike! Guten appetit! Hope some Sufi singing will pair well with the vibes - coming up soon!
	12:29pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:24 He's delighted, thank you Stork, email sent. Speaking of CDs, thank you @Mike Cooper for the CD prize donation, they're cued up for our next car trip.
	12:31pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:29 Ah, yes, you won the grand prize! Enjoy enjoy!
	12:34pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:29 Got it, love2laf. Let me know which ones you want.
	12:36pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:34 Whatever you find easy to share, he can always look them up, but I know a song can be on multiple albums, so he's curious as to which albums you pulled the tracks from. Honestly, just pick 5, he'll be tickled :)
	12:41pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Libra" by "Johnny Lytle" Love that percussive wizardry he manages to incorporate.
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: I got in a ride share this past week and the older gentleman driver had some sizzling jazz organ on the radio. I asked if it was Groove Holmes, and he said, no, Charles Earland. Then we got to talking. Turns out he was childhood friends with Melvin and Mervin Steals, the songwriting team who penned "Could It Be We're Falling in Love," for The Spinners. What a cool ride!
	🥁 12:42pm tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing... saw someone watching tv yesterday and obviously people use tv for therapy but what struck me was how some people get absorbed by tv and sort of leave their bodies...and just like therapy seems like there's transference into the tv screen or the narrative they are watching....told you apropos of nothing... :/
	12:44pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Wow! Bet he was equally impressed - not everybody knows Groove Holmes!
	12:45pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Did you ID the Earland track?
	12:46pm love2laf: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Now that's Kismet, what a lovely ride share moment <3
	12:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @12:45 I should have Shazamed the Earland track, but I was too engrossed in the conversation. The driver told me of a time when Dr. Lonnie Smith got in his car for a ride. They got to gabbing and Smith told the driver he had MS, but didn't want anyone to know in case it would scare off promoters for his gigs. This was not long before Smith died in 2021.
	12:56pm adamdoesit: Ya Storkeleh Nah Rerun! Hello swells.
	12:56pm Ike: Sounding great!
	12:56pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ya Allah Ya Rehman" by "Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan" I just learned that Chain of Light was a bunch of forgotten recordings in the Real World vaults. Peter Gabriel joyfully released them.
	12:57pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:51 I have Shazam on my phone and I think I've used it once in the last year. I never even consider it. For I am an oldie.
	12:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 It's theorized that what happens in transference is the experiencing in the present of early feelings from before the subject had the mind to be aware of feeling them. So, yeah, maybe.
	12:59pm Stork: ↳ Ike @12:56 Ikey!! How do?
	1:01pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @12:56 adamdoesit! Please address me by my new, unwieldy handle: Storkrat Hardly Khan.
	1:02pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @1:01 Salaam alaikum, Storkrat Hardly Khan! I'll have a double Glen Passaic and soda, please.
	1:04pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @1:02 Feet like wings, sire!
	🥁 1:15pm David (in London): sidles into the Club dressed as Grimaldi the Clown: baggy tartan suit, wild orange wig, colourful make-up, huge yellow shoes. Encourages the barman to smell his flower buttonhole, squirts water into his face. Barman throws Glen Passaic over him in return. Make-up melts, face melts too, collapses in a booth Afternoon Stork and assembled Club-folk.
	🥁 1:16pm redkayak: Happy Sunday all - GREAT music today Stork! Thanks for this...
	🥁 1:16pm David (in London): I saw Nusrat on this tour. There was some bizarre incident involving tear gas at one of his other shows, but it's so long ago, I forget the details now. Odd then, odd now.
	1:16pm love2laf: ↳ David (in London) @1:15 /passes David an anti face melter beverage made with GP
	1:16pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:51 That's watcha call sweet-bitter.
	1:18pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @1:16 Ah, yes. We call it The Canceller. We're just never sure about what (or who) it's gonna cancel.

	1:19pm Stork: ↳ redkayak @1:16 Greetings, redkayak!
	🥁 1:20pm redkayak: ↳ David (in London) @1:19 Hey David - Did'ja see the Bears game in London?!
	1:20pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:16 That's messed up. Wonder if there was a political or racial motive against Ali-Khan.
	🥁 1:21pm redkayak: ↳ Stork @1:19 Ahoy captain!
	1:21pm adamdoesit: ↳ David (in London) @1:19 Ciao, Davide Grimaldi!
	🥁 1:24pm redkayak: Looking forward to hearing some Pharoah Sanders today. No rush tho - this is awesome...
	🥁 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ redkayak @1:20 Sadly not my bag. Listener Sean might have seen it though.
	🥁 1:26pm redkayak: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 It looked like a big crowd there too.... I was surprised!
	1:26pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 I bet Brother Sean was glued to the couch for that one, eh, Sean?
	1:27pm Stork: ↳ redkayak @1:24 It won't be long now - lotsa Pharoah today.
	🥁 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Main to Piya Se Naina Lagaa Aayi Re" by "Nusrat F... So - NFAK is also playing Sarangi here ? Credit punctuation being a complex affair...
	🥁 1:29pm redkayak: ↳ Stork @1:27 Excellent...
	1:31pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 i hink someone in The Party is playing Sarangi. Kinda finessed that one, heh heh!
	🥁 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:31 Okay that's what that means.
	🥁 1:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @1:15 hi david... your entrance ends on a slightly halloween-ish note, appropriately enough
	🥁 1:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:36 i' like the image of a melting clown face... don't think i've seen before....should be iconic
	🥁 1:38pm David (in London): Mick Karn was in Japan. Amazing player on several instruments. Gone way way too soon.
	🥁 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Francis Bacon @ the Circus. Raiders of the Lost Ark if yer in the Party seats...
	1:38pm adamdoesit: Richard Evans was asked how he came up with that sound. He said it was there all along, in his acid wah genes.
	🥁 1:40pm David (in London): "Champagne for my real friends and Glen Passaic for my sham friends". I'm sure that's what Bacon once said.
	🥁 1:40pm David (in London): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:36 Grimaldi is actually buried not far away from where I live, on the Pentonville Road, near Kings Cross. You occasionally see clowns making a pilgrimage there.
	🥁 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandola is to Viola what Mandolin is to Violin ? Add pickups & a Wah...
	1:41pm chresti: Davidkins!
	1:42pm adamdoesit: Turn on that Pharoah faucet!
	🥁 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @1:38 Like Engineer Eddie Kramer said when he first presented Hendrix with Flanging - Jimi fell out & said it's what he'd been hearing in his dreams all along.
	🥁 1:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @1:40 i knew a clown named grimaldi ...i don't know if he was a relation but funny coincidence
	1:43pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Welcome" by "Pharoah Sanders" I swear Pharoah's quoting the turnaround of Happy Birthday in this -so on to the playlist she goes!
	🥁 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Happy Rebirth Day - for the Transcendentalists in the audience...
	🥁 1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:43 why not...? if just to spite the people who hold rights too it.....i heard it just there
	1:45pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:40 Perhaps Bacon's dying utterance.
	1:46pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:38 Yeah, didn't even mention Japan - but those first couple albums - yowzie!!
	1:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @1:43 I heard it, too! happy BIRTHday dear Pharoah…
	🥁 1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 oh copyright ended 2015
	1:47pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @1:47 On the schnozz!!
	🥁 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have thot of Pharoah as the step inbetween Coltranes John & Alice, manner of speaking, in the birth of Spiritual Jazz. As if there could be a degree of separation there...
	🥁 1:50pm David (in London): ↳ Stork @1:46 I'm a staunch advocate of Japan. I got into them for the immensely shallow reason that I wanted to impress Ruth Asher, the girl I was besotted by at the time. That never came to anything, but thanks to her I've have a lifelong love of their albums. Hi Ruth if you're reading...
	1:50pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:48 Yeah, they really are one huge, beating heart.
	🥁 1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: i saw pharoah sanders getting out of a cab on sixth ave south with a metalflake magenta sax case.... he glowed as well
	🥁 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting to me - just today honestly - reading how important SunRa was for Pharoah. Taking him in when he was homeless in fact. I knew Saint Coltrane the John treated him like a protege very much...
	1:55pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:50 Hello David!
	🥁 1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't believe in the term "spiritual jazz" i think it commodifies the music, the sensibilities and seems like a backhanded compliment
	1:56pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:54 Yeah, and Pharoah was very young and musically pretty directionless at that point - says him.
	🥁 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Fly Away" by "Larry Young" LarryYoung - for the last degree of separation to Hendrix.
	🥁 1:57pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:55 Hey Andrew. Did you get my email?
	🥁 1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: oh i just listened to lawrence of newark and i don't even recognize this...over loaded my memory bank
	🥁 1:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Cousin Storkie! I owe you an email (the Mike Cooper one). And looky here, I tuned in just in time for the Pharoah Sanders set. YAY!
	1:59pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Oy, tom tom - I'm sorry but i have yet to check your site. Can you resend the url?
	🥁 1:59pm David (in London): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:59 Wotcha Wendles!
	🥁 1:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Greetings to all people here on the comments page.
	🥁 2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:59 thanks, its simpler now <mooreart.net>
	2:00pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:59 Ma belle cousine!! Quelle is up? Yay to you too!
	2:00pm doctorjazz: OK, made it to the Upper West Side, great Car-tunes, thanks, Stork!
	🥁 2:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ David (in London) @1:59 David!
	2:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:57 No. Not yet.
	2:01pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:00 Glad you could keep an ear out, doc! Now it's Phun with Pharoah.
	🥁 2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:00 Aww! :-) Things are mostly good. It's a beautiful, gloomy day here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club. I'm drinking a stiff mug of Darjeeling. It ain't no Glen Passaic, or even Glen Connecticut, but it does the trick.
	🥁 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:56 Coltrane when he was alive was already uncomfortable with the word 'Jazz' for what he was doing. I think - in the context of what everybody else thot it meant in that time - before he died in 1967 & earlier. From the perspective of now - I feel rather he stretched the word to include it. 'Spiritual' & 'Jazz' of course two words that are small for a large range of definitions ! If you consider Jazz something begun in N'Orleans whorehouses, progressing to Lounges ...I guess I admit to enjoying the subversion of it all ...tho maybe those were compresses that the African Spiritual archetypes had to pass thru like a forge to arrive back where they came from ??...
	2:02pm Spikey BXL: Live Stork, a rare pleasure for me. Tips hat at host and guests.
	🥁 2:02pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:01 Mm, I sent it last Wednesday! Sigh.
	🥁 2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" Holy cow, this is beautiful.
	2:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @2:02 Try again plwase? spinables1959@gmail.com
	🥁 2:03pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" Amazing album. And no one ever wore a beaver lamb hat better than Pharoah.
	🥁 2:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" some crew on this
	🥁 2:04pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:02 Yo Spikey!
	🥁 2:04pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:03 That was the address I used. I'll try again.
	2:04pm doctorjazz: Still here for a bit...
	2:05pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:04 Hey David! Happy to report I've been stalking Stork in the archives ever since your recco
	🥁 2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: stork ...u see the url...?
	2:05pm fred: Greetings Stork and patrons. I'm late, is there any Glen Passaic left?
	🥁 2:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Duo" by "Pharoah Sanders" quite monk-sh.... shuffle boil
	🥁 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otherwise I find 'Spiritual Jazz' as useful ...& as limiting I suppose - as 'Bop' or 'HardBop' or 'Modal' or 'Free' or all the rest... I mean - anyone who doesn't think Jazz can be Spiritual is just ...willfully ignorant. Aren't they ?
	2:06pm Spikey BXL: ↳ fred @2:05 Salut fred. I can offer you some of my Balvenie, in case they ran out.
	2:06pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 Yes - got it, thanks.
	🥁 2:07pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:05 Top man!
	2:07pm Stork: ↳ fred @2:05 Our tanks are full, fred! Let's start filling yours.
	2:08pm Stork: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:06 Spikey BXL is in here!
	🥁 2:08pm David (in London): ↳ fred @2:05 Fred, my clown suit jacket might have trace amounts if you want to wring it out.
	2:09pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:06 Good coil - er, call.
	2:10pm Stork: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:05 Gladness to hear it, Spikey BXL!
	2:12pm fred: My excuse for tardiness is that was seeing a Lithuanian klezmer band. Pretty good, the only disappointment is that the accordion, trumpet, clarinet and trombone players each got a short solo, so I hoped the tuba would have one. Alas, it was not to be (how awesome would a tuba solo be?)
	🥁 2:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: Back when I lived in NYC, I was friends with a fabulous fellow named Guy Sanders, who was originally from Brownsville and was a former transit cop and EMT. I always thought of Guy as "Pharaoh Sanders," partly because he had a regal air about him. It's nice to hear this music and think about my old friend Guy. We fell outta contact, and this is me sending him good wishes.
	2:13pm i̺k̺e̺y: ↳ Stork @12:59 Hanging in there, almost recovered from a mysterious respiratory bit of nonsense. Why do I get stuck with the third-rate Dollar General-brand viruses?
	🥁 2:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ fred @2:12 fred, we are kindred spirits for sure. I do love the tuba, and think there should be more tuba solos in the world.
	🥁 2:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:06 yes that's not my reason...i find it coded in a way that just sits wrong ....for me it unknowingly echoes the term "magical negro" coined by spike lee to describe black movie characters that have special powers usually to help white charcters' besides that i think the term puts a layer of commodification that blunts it's spiritual quality
	2:16pm doctorjazz: I'm also a believer the world needs more tuba solos!
	🥁 2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Soulful Drums" by "Idris Muhammad" was going to "dig these drums" then saw title...ha!~
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Soulful Drums" by "Idris Muhammad" This is cool!
	🥁 2:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @2:16 <3
	2:17pm Spikey BXL: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:15 Speaking of Mr Lee, this afternoon I watched David Byrne's American Utopia show, directed by him. Was an absolute delight.
	2:18pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:17 This is an excellent album!
	🥁 2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: oh huh...in general i've heard good things about that...wil try and watch
	🥁 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:15 Not an association I would have made. Or do make honestly. Curious what you'd propose instead.
	2:20pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:17 Yeah ya all's: don't miss Wendy delF's big shew tomorrow, 3-6 EDT: Special: Singles: Going Already? Way to raise hell, ma cousine!!
	🥁 2:20pm Malcontent: Hi Stork, et. al. (or should I say Storkrat Hardly Khan) Any day where I can load up on NFAK and Pharaoh Sanders is a great day. I saw Nusrat many times during the day.. surrounded by his countrymen... surrounded by NYC hipsters... and combinations thereof. But my favorite moment was when he appeared at Central Park SummerStage on Pakistani independence day (Aug 14). As he launched into "Kinna Sohna" all the NYC hipsters, all the Pakistani elders, and all the Pakistani kids erupted. It was a cross-generational, multi-national hit for a very wide demographic. And a moment when "world music" had more of a presence. I miss both NFAK and Pharaoh very much.
	🥁 2:24pm David (in London): The Storkrat is a mythical creature it's disturbing me to picture mentally...
	🥁 2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:19 something unspeakable...it's just marketing to me so i'm not interested and i don't feel i have rights to naming them. i think it gets into all sorts of issues
	2:27pm chresti: tse2.mm.bing.net...
	2:28pm chresti: ↳ chresti @2:27 Storkrat
	2:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "To Be" by "John Coltrane" Jimmy Garrison, the lady holdout from the Classic Quarter...
	🥁 2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: coltrane, alice coltrane, pharoah sanders didn't name what they created...how does somebody come along and name THEIR music
	🥁 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:24 By which you mean - explaining what you mean is unspeakable ? Associating the term 'Spriitual Jazz' with 'the magical negro' is not an issue would've ever occurred to me. I don't understand you - but it's not necessary I do (or important to you I do probly) - & that matters little I suppose.
	2:30pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:24 I would ask Chat GPT to create one, but I'd be afraid to look.
	🥁 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 Okay perhaps that's true & relevant. It always happens Artists make & others Name.
	2:31pm Stork: ↳ chresti @2:27 The snacking I referred to earlier...
	2:31pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @2:27 Perfection, StorkRat defined!
	🥁 2:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:20 Thank you for the plug, Cousin Storkie. It will definitely be a radio stunt. But, that's what raising hell is all about!
	2:33pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 True, there was a joke in the NME days that genres were like anarchist parties, if more than 5 got in one it was time for a split. I'm biased because I suck at telling what genre any music belongs to
	🥁 2:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 i see an echo in the processes of the creation of magical negro characters in hollywood and the process of creating the term spiritual jazz on madison ave or where ever marketing happens now
	🥁 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:33 I would think 'Spiritual Jazz' is better than many - as it's purely descriptive & simple.
	2:35pm ike̶̬̕: (opens mouth to say something profound about genre and nothing comes out except for a loud, protracted belch)
	🥁 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:35 It wouldn't have occurred to me that Madison Ave had ever heard of Spiritual Jazz ...much to its ultimate advantage. But I live far from there, so...
	🥁 2:37pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Ah Thembi, this really is the motherload.
	🥁 2:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 i think madison ave has metasticized.... it's everywhere
	2:38pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:37 This is a top-2 Pharoah.
	2:38pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Wait, what?! I was reading a lovely quote about the electric piano, and then it disappeared before I could finish. If you still have it, can you paste it here please, pretty please Stork?
	2:38pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:35 I guess it would apply in a descriptive sense to late Coltrane, but the label has been abused
	2:38pm Stork: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @2:35 Excuse you! You need another GP, Ike!
	2:39pm love2laf: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @2:35 /adds her own belch Actually I do have genres. Music I love, Music I enjoy, Music not to my personal taste but love that other people love it.
	🥁 2:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ love2laf @2:39 <3
	🥁 2:40pm David (in London): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 There's a book called The Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank whose main theory is how much the ad industry actually led the development of the 60s rather simply followed it. I don't know if it's 'the truth', but his analysis is frighteningly plausible.
	2:40pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @2:38 Oh, sorry, love2laf! That was there for back-announcing, then i deleted it - i'll put it up in the comments 4thwith
	2:41pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @2:40 No need if it spoils the back announce <3
	2:41pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Lonnie Liston Smith - On Thembi, that was the first time that I ever touched a Fender Rhodes electric piano. We got to the studio in California — Cecil McBee had to unpack his bass, the drummer had to set up his drums, Pharoah had to unpack all of his horns. Everybody had something to do, but the piano was just sitting there waiting. I saw this instrument sitting in the corner and I asked the engineer, 'What is that?' He said, 'That's a Fender Rhodes electric piano.' I didn't have anything to do, so I started messing with it, checking some of the buttons to see what I could do with different sounds. All of a sudden I started writing a song and everybody ran over and said, 'What is that?' And I said, 'I don't know, I'm just messing around.' Pharoah said, 'Man, we gotta record that. Whatcha gonna call it?' I'd been studying astral projections and it sounded like we were floating through space so I said let's call it 'Astral Traveling.' That's how I got introduced to the electric piano. Smith's 1973 debut album was titled Astral Traveling, and includes a new recording of the composition.
	2:41pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 going to assume it's not the Brentford lad who wrote it
	🥁 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:38 No doubt this is so. One's own Culture is always being sold back to one. I think you're trying too hard to equate the term with anything very nefarious tho. But there's plenty of space here to do so I suppose.
	🥁 2:42pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:41 Haha, wouldn't that be great!
	🥁 2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: @tom tom: An envelope from me to you is going out in Tuesday's mail.
	2:43pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:42 Can't chew gum without looking like a bovine, but writes great prose
	2:43pm Stork: ↳ Stork @2:41 That's a quote from Lonnie Liston Smith - sorry!
	🥁 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 There's no doubt that part of the 'Revolution' was Commercial & Industrial. Big part of the invention of the Teenager in the first place was their Economic power. Surely Mod made that explicit.
	🥁 2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Isis And Osiris" by "Alice Coltrane" I finally got my own copy of this album (on CD) about a month ago. It was sitting right there, in the window of the used record store, just waiting for me. :-)
	2:44pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @2:43 An excellent quote, and what an insight to a magic composing moment.
	🥁 2:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:41 what is tik tok but mad ave.....i'm just going on a feeling with this issue
	🥁 2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:43 terrific wendo and thanks so much....
	🥁 2:47pm David (in London): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 With Volkswagen being an unexpected beneficiary.
	🥁 2:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Isis And Osiris" by "Alice Coltrane" does sanders often play soprano w/ alice coltrane i wonder....
	2:47pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:44 And you started humming "How much is that copy of Journey to Satchinanda by Alice Coltrane in the window"
	🥁 2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...PostWar prosperity - it's all a Supermarket we've thot was Normal ever since. I suppose these Musics (which shall remain unnameable then) are part of the attempt to reclaim something Sacred. Which is what Jim Morrison implied was what we're all really looking for. Him being versed in the Jungians & Norman O. Brown & the lot.
	2:48pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:47 Not often at all - this is a wonderful document of his soprano saxin'
	🥁 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @2:48 oh ok thanks
	2:50pm ike̶̬̕: ↳ Stork @2:38 The non-alcoholic variety, of course. With seltzer, lime, mangosteen, a hint of jasmine, and a 25-foot ivy growing out of it and crawling up the wall.
	2:50pm adamdoesit: Where is this jazz that isn't spiritual? That'd be like a bird doesn't have wings… or Glen Passaic without the beguiling toxicity. Barkeep!
	🥁 2:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:47 "I do hope that copy of Journey to Satchinanda by Alice Coltrane's for sale..."
	🥁 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...would 'Transcendental Jazz' just be kicking the can down the road ?...
	🥁 2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 Hahaha, yes! Well said, adamdoesit.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Great set, good squeezing stuff into an NYC Studio apt music Thanks Stork!
	2:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:50 Or up the stairs, perhaps.
	2:52pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 None are so bliind as them that will not see.. or those who've had a few pops of GP.
	🥁 2:52pm David (in London): Yes, this was an absolute cracker of a show today. Thank you Storkrat Everyready Can. Have a good week Club-goers.
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 hi David! ... i personally doubt it, but it's certainly plausible; and at least the fashion side of it directed by marketing. ...just as the concept of there really only being 1 "political party", or corporation, in the us - staging all the competition, and ultimately putting whichever talking head in office that works in their overall plan. certainly plausible; but then there're countless fools who have been manipulated by marketing to adopt an idea that "conspiracy theorist" is a derogitory term.
	🥁 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @2:52 i call for renaming glen passaic ...spiritual jazzz
	2:53pm fred: ↳ Stork @2:52 Can it be a coincidence that the AI most known for hallucinating is called Chat GPT
	🥁 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 Right - didn't it have roots in 'Spirituals' anyhow ? I suppose I like the juxtaposition of the exalted word 'Spiritual' with the word 'Jazz' & its roots in the profane. This makes a point for me ...more theoretical than either racial nor commercial.
	2:55pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:52 Thank you kindly, DiL - and mind how you go - or how you pitch headlog into people and things. See you back on the dirty barroom floor next week.
	2:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:53 Spiritous jizz? I'd give you a recipe for that, but this is a family program. fred, that explains a lot. Great show today. Thank you, Storkrat Fadduh Allez CAN!
	2:55pm Stork: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:53 coela! How-day?
	2:56pm love2laf: Thank you Stork, as David said, this was a cracker of a show! Love all the info you share in the playlist, the detail is amazing. Cheers everyone, final double round of GP on me.
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:51 This is a Spiritual experience...getting more stuff in than the cubic feet allow, magical!
	🥁 2:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for the excellent musics, Cousin Storkie!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:55 "sugar sugar" by the archies can be spiritual if you let it
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Stork @2:55 hi Stork...'been tuned-in since ~2(?)
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Storkeleh!
	🥁 2:57pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks stork....enjoyed the show....now look at my damned site!!!! ........; )))))
	🥁 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:56 & always that. Like George saying Ringo wrote that way with 'Octopus's Garden' without even really knowing it ...or Robyn Hitchcock saying the coffee grounds in the morning can be 'Psychedelic' if you happen to see it that way...
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:58 hear hear... -even Billy J...Billy Jo. . . no i can't say it !
	🥁 3:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:59 ...if you don't ...Madison Ave. will...
	3:01pm Stork: STORK CLUB ADVISORINO: WE STARTED ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATE TODAY (THANKS, OBAMA!)

	3:15pm Stork: ↳ Yvang @3:09 Thanks kindly, Yvang!

	🥁 8:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Water 🐒Monkey ' John “Johnny” Dillard Lytle (October 13, 1932 in Springfield, Ohio – December 15, 1995 in Springfield) was an American jazz drummer and vibraphonist... Lionel Hampton said Lytle was "the greatest vibes player in the world." Lytle was known for his great hand speed and showmanship... He found success early in his career with chart-topping albums like A Groove, Moon Child, and The Loop. From his swinging uptempo tracks to his soul-satisfying ballads, Lytle knew how to keep a groove. And with a nickname like "Fast Hands", he could always keep the attention of an audience. In addition to his musicianship, his gregarious personality made him a popular attraction on the jazz circuit. Even though he did not experience the same success he was privileged to during the 1960s, he did continue to record and build a respectable catalog of music with recordings in the '70s, '80s and '90s '... ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Earth 🐀Rat ' Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan PP (Punjabi: نصرت فتح علی خان, Punjabi pronunciation: [nʊsˈɾət̪ ˈfət̪e(ɦ) əliː ˈxɑːn]; born Pervez Fateh Ali Khan; 13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997), popularly abbreviated as NFAK was a Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director. He was primarily a singer of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music. Often called the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" (the King of Kings of Qawwali), he is considered by The New York Times to be the greatest Qawwali singer of all time. He was described as the fourth greatest singer of all time by LA Weekly in 2016. He was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours. Khan is widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences. He was also a master of Hindustani classical music '... ⦿Sun in ♎︎Libra, Year of Metal 🐉Dragon ' Pharoah Sanders (born Ferrell Lee Sanders; October 13, 1940 – September 24, 2022) was an American jazz saxophonist. Known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound", Sanders played a prominent role in the development of free jazz and spiritual jazz through his work as a member of John Coltrane's groups in the mid-1960s, and later through his solo work. He released more than thirty albums as a leader and collaborated extensively with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Alice Coltrane, among many others. Fellow saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world". Sanders' take on spiritual jazz was rooted in his inspiration from religious concepts such as karma and tawhid, and his rich, meditative performance aesthetic. This style was seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders was considered to have been a disciple of Coltrane or, as Albert Ayler said, "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost" '...

	12:05pm Stork: Restarting the streaming computer... stand by. I do't think that's it, though
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Stork, don't you know better than to hit the Glenn Passaic BEFORE the show???

	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ love2laf @12:04 What a sweet comment, love2laf.
	12:08pm love2laf: I think it's all my fault, go on vacation, miss two Stork clubs, show up today, and bubkis. My bad mojo, apologies and GP everyone.
	12:09pm Irene Trudel: Hiya Stork and Club-sters! Better late than never.
	12:09pm doctorjazz: YAY!! I won't wear slacks, promise!
	12:09pm Stork: Whew! That was weird! No reason for that that i can tell. We're off!!
	12:10pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:08 I would forgive you if were aught to forgive, love2laf!! Bless ya!!
	12:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Blue Vibes" by "Johnny Lytle Trio" Wheeze rollin'!
	12:10pm DJ Peter: Let's go!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blue Vibes" by "Johnny Lytle Trio" If one can distinguish thetone of vibes players, I'd say Lytle has a sweet tone.
	12:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 Maybe a bit less sharp/leading edge, a bit more "blending" of notes...
	12:13pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:10 Unkrautsalad was a listen on our drive to Ottawa, and we loved it. Hubby was wondering if you have, easily accessible like, the albums the cuts were taken from? He's quite smitten with the CD.
	12:13pm Stork: Hi Irene, chresti, doctorjazz, Dougie, Yvang, tom tom the piper's son, Brother Sean in Bristol, and dearest RevRabb - thanks for the posings, as ever!! THE SHOW WILL GO ON!!!😓

	12:15pm Stork: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:13 That or the pre-Halloween gremlins!
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The New Village Caller" by "Johnny Lytle" Don't see Ron Carter credited on electric bass that often...
	12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Carter just had a gig in NYC...
	12:17pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:11 Funky is he! Lionel Hampton said he was the best ever (!) And Lionel def had no self-esteem issues! The fast, hard hands of a Golden-Gloves chapion, which he was.
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Lennie Hibbert does a gorgeous reggae cover of this melody. He calls "Vintage Soul."
	12:17pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Seeing him at the Blue Note is in the top 10 of live performances I've seen.
	12:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 At Birdland!

	12:20pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:18 Happy motoring, doc! Enjoy the show!
	12:20pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:17 Wanna hear that!
	12:20pm Juli P: Investing in instruments: Ty for this episode's inspiration.
	12:21pm Stork: ↳ Stork @12:17 "champion"
	12:24pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:13 Yes, I do, love2laf, and I'd be happy to send him whatever he fancies. You can send your deets off-list.
	12:25pm Stork: ↳ Juli P @12:20 Hellooo, Juli P.!
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @12:20 I just emailed you the MP3.
	12:26pm Mike Cooper: Good vibes this week ej? Perfect for my sundown terrace dinner.
	12:27pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:25 Mwah! ❤️
	12:28pm Mike Cooper: My white wine is as chilled❤️
	12:28pm Stork: ↳ Mike Cooper @12:26 Mike! Guten appetit! Hope some Sufi singing will pair well with the vibes - coming up soon!
	12:29pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:24 He's delighted, thank you Stork, email sent. Speaking of CDs, thank you @Mike Cooper for the CD prize donation, they're cued up for our next car trip.
	12:31pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:29 Ah, yes, you won the grand prize! Enjoy enjoy!
	12:34pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:29 Got it, love2laf. Let me know which ones you want.
	12:36pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:34 Whatever you find easy to share, he can always look them up, but I know a song can be on multiple albums, so he's curious as to which albums you pulled the tracks from. Honestly, just pick 5, he'll be tickled :)
	12:41pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Libra" by "Johnny Lytle" Love that percussive wizardry he manages to incorporate.
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: I got in a ride share this past week and the older gentleman driver had some sizzling jazz organ on the radio. I asked if it was Groove Holmes, and he said, no, Charles Earland. Then we got to talking. Turns out he was childhood friends with Melvin and Mervin Steals, the songwriting team who penned "Could It Be We're Falling in Love," for The Spinners. What a cool ride!
	🥁 12:42pm tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing... saw someone watching tv yesterday and obviously people use tv for therapy but what struck me was how some people get absorbed by tv and sort of leave their bodies...and just like therapy seems like there's transference into the tv screen or the narrative they are watching....told you apropos of nothing... :/
	12:44pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Wow! Bet he was equally impressed - not everybody knows Groove Holmes!
	12:45pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Did you ID the Earland track?
	12:46pm love2laf: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:42 Now that's Kismet, what a lovely ride share moment <3
	12:51pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ Stork @12:45 I should have Shazamed the Earland track, but I was too engrossed in the conversation. The driver told me of a time when Dr. Lonnie Smith got in his car for a ride. They got to gabbing and Smith told the driver he had MS, but didn't want anyone to know in case it would scare off promoters for his gigs. This was not long before Smith died in 2021.
	12:56pm adamdoesit: Ya Storkeleh Nah Rerun! Hello swells.
	12:56pm Ike: Sounding great!
	12:56pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ya Allah Ya Rehman" by "Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan" I just learned that Chain of Light was a bunch of forgotten recordings in the Real World vaults. Peter Gabriel joyfully released them.
	12:57pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:51 I have Shazam on my phone and I think I've used it once in the last year. I never even consider it. For I am an oldie.
	12:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 It's theorized that what happens in transference is the experiencing in the present of early feelings from before the subject had the mind to be aware of feeling them. So, yeah, maybe.
	12:59pm Stork: ↳ Ike @12:56 Ikey!! How do?
	1:01pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @12:56 adamdoesit! Please address me by my new, unwieldy handle: Storkrat Hardly Khan.
	1:02pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @1:01 Salaam alaikum, Storkrat Hardly Khan! I'll have a double Glen Passaic and soda, please.
	1:04pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @1:02 Feet like wings, sire!
	🥁 1:15pm David (in London): sidles into the Club dressed as Grimaldi the Clown: baggy tartan suit, wild orange wig, colourful make-up, huge yellow shoes. Encourages the barman to smell his flower buttonhole, squirts water into his face. Barman throws Glen Passaic over him in return. Make-up melts, face melts too, collapses in a booth Afternoon Stork and assembled Club-folk.
	🥁 1:16pm redkayak: Happy Sunday all - GREAT music today Stork! Thanks for this...
	🥁 1:16pm David (in London): I saw Nusrat on this tour. There was some bizarre incident involving tear gas at one of his other shows, but it's so long ago, I forget the details now. Odd then, odd now.
	1:16pm love2laf: ↳ David (in London) @1:15 /passes David an anti face melter beverage made with GP
	1:16pm Stork: ↳ Doug Schulkind @12:51 That's watcha call sweet-bitter.
	1:18pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @1:16 Ah, yes. We call it The Canceller. We're just never sure about what (or who) it's gonna cancel.
	🥁 1:19pm David (in London): l2l, adam, Ike, Doug, Tom, Mike, Doc, Irene, Peter, Chrestikins!, Yvang, Sean, Rev D, redkayak: hello good people.

	🥁 1:20pm redkayak: ↳ David (in London) @1:19 Hey David - Did'ja see the Bears game in London?!
	1:20pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:16 That's messed up. Wonder if there was a political or racial motive against Ali-Khan.
	🥁 1:21pm redkayak: ↳ Stork @1:19 Ahoy captain!
	1:21pm adamdoesit: ↳ David (in London) @1:19 Ciao, Davide Grimaldi!
	🥁 1:24pm redkayak: Looking forward to hearing some Pharoah Sanders today. No rush tho - this is awesome...
	🥁 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ redkayak @1:20 Sadly not my bag. Listener Sean might have seen it though.
	🥁 1:26pm redkayak: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 It looked like a big crowd there too.... I was surprised!
	1:26pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 I bet Brother Sean was glued to the couch for that one, eh, Sean?
	1:27pm Stork: ↳ redkayak @1:24 It won't be long now - lotsa Pharoah today.
	🥁 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Main to Piya Se Naina Lagaa Aayi Re" by "Nusrat F... So - NFAK is also playing Sarangi here ? Credit punctuation being a complex affair...
	🥁 1:29pm redkayak: ↳ Stork @1:27 Excellent...
	1:31pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:28 i hink someone in The Party is playing Sarangi. Kinda finessed that one, heh heh!
	🥁 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:31 Okay that's what that means.
	🥁 1:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @1:15 hi david... your entrance ends on a slightly halloween-ish note, appropriately enough
	🥁 1:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:36 i' like the image of a melting clown face... don't think i've seen before....should be iconic
	🥁 1:38pm David (in London): Mick Karn was in Japan. Amazing player on several instruments. Gone way way too soon.
	🥁 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Francis Bacon @ the Circus. Raiders of the Lost Ark if yer in the Party seats...
	1:38pm adamdoesit: Richard Evans was asked how he came up with that sound. He said it was there all along, in his acid wah genes.
	🥁 1:40pm David (in London): "Champagne for my real friends and Glen Passaic for my sham friends". I'm sure that's what Bacon once said.
	🥁 1:40pm David (in London): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:36 Grimaldi is actually buried not far away from where I live, on the Pentonville Road, near Kings Cross. You occasionally see clowns making a pilgrimage there.
	🥁 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandola is to Viola what Mandolin is to Violin ? Add pickups & a Wah...
	1:41pm chresti: Davidkins!
	1:42pm adamdoesit: Turn on that Pharoah faucet!
	🥁 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @1:38 Like Engineer Eddie Kramer said when he first presented Hendrix with Flanging - Jimi fell out & said it's what he'd been hearing in his dreams all along.
	🥁 1:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David (in London) @1:40 i knew a clown named grimaldi ...i don't know if he was a relation but funny coincidence
	1:43pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Welcome" by "Pharoah Sanders" I swear Pharoah's quoting the turnaround of Happy Birthday in this -so on to the playlist she goes!
	🥁 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Happy Rebirth Day - for the Transcendentalists in the audience...
	🥁 1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:43 why not...? if just to spite the people who hold rights too it.....i heard it just there
	1:45pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:40 Perhaps Bacon's dying utterance.
	1:46pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @1:38 Yeah, didn't even mention Japan - but those first couple albums - yowzie!!
	1:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @1:43 I heard it, too! happy BIRTHday dear Pharoah…
	🥁 1:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 oh copyright ended 2015
	1:47pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @1:47 On the schnozz!!
	🥁 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have thot of Pharoah as the step inbetween Coltranes John & Alice, manner of speaking, in the birth of Spiritual Jazz. As if there could be a degree of separation there...
	🥁 1:50pm David (in London): ↳ Stork @1:46 I'm a staunch advocate of Japan. I got into them for the immensely shallow reason that I wanted to impress Ruth Asher, the girl I was besotted by at the time. That never came to anything, but thanks to her I've have a lifelong love of their albums. Hi Ruth if you're reading...
	1:50pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:48 Yeah, they really are one huge, beating heart.
	🥁 1:52pm tom tom the pipers son: i saw pharoah sanders getting out of a cab on sixth ave south with a metalflake magenta sax case.... he glowed as well
	🥁 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting to me - just today honestly - reading how important SunRa was for Pharoah. Taking him in when he was homeless in fact. I knew Saint Coltrane the John treated him like a protege very much...
	1:55pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:50 Hello David!
	🥁 1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't believe in the term "spiritual jazz" i think it commodifies the music, the sensibilities and seems like a backhanded compliment
	1:56pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:54 Yeah, and Pharoah was very young and musically pretty directionless at that point - says him.
	🥁 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sunshine Fly Away" by "Larry Young" LarryYoung - for the last degree of separation to Hendrix.
	🥁 1:57pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:55 Hey Andrew. Did you get my email?
	🥁 1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: oh i just listened to lawrence of newark and i don't even recognize this...over loaded my memory bank
	🥁 1:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Cousin Storkie! I owe you an email (the Mike Cooper one). And looky here, I tuned in just in time for the Pharoah Sanders set. YAY!
	1:59pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:56 Oy, tom tom - I'm sorry but i have yet to check your site. Can you resend the url?
	🥁 1:59pm David (in London): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:59 Wotcha Wendles!
	🥁 1:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Greetings to all people here on the comments page.
	🥁 2:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:59 thanks, its simpler now <mooreart.net>
	2:00pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:59 Ma belle cousine!! Quelle is up? Yay to you too!
	2:00pm doctorjazz: OK, made it to the Upper West Side, great Car-tunes, thanks, Stork!
	🥁 2:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ David (in London) @1:59 David!
	2:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @1:57 No. Not yet.
	2:01pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:00 Glad you could keep an ear out, doc! Now it's Phun with Pharoah.
	🥁 2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:00 Aww! :-) Things are mostly good. It's a beautiful, gloomy day here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club. I'm drinking a stiff mug of Darjeeling. It ain't no Glen Passaic, or even Glen Connecticut, but it does the trick.
	🥁 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Stork @1:56 Coltrane when he was alive was already uncomfortable with the word 'Jazz' for what he was doing. I think - in the context of what everybody else thot it meant in that time - before he died in 1967 & earlier. From the perspective of now - I feel rather he stretched the word to include it. 'Spiritual' & 'Jazz' of course two words that are small for a large range of definitions ! If you consider Jazz something begun in N'Orleans whorehouses, progressing to Lounges ...I guess I admit to enjoying the subversion of it all ...tho maybe those were compresses that the African Spiritual archetypes had to pass thru like a forge to arrive back where they came from ??...
	2:02pm Spikey BXL: Live Stork, a rare pleasure for me. Tips hat at host and guests.
	🥁 2:02pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:01 Mm, I sent it last Wednesday! Sigh.
	🥁 2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" Holy cow, this is beautiful.
	2:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @2:02 Try again plwase? spinables1959@gmail.com
	🥁 2:03pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" Amazing album. And no one ever wore a beaver lamb hat better than Pharoah.
	🥁 2:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Japan" by "Pharoah Sanders" some crew on this
	🥁 2:04pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:02 Yo Spikey!
	🥁 2:04pm David (in London): ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:03 That was the address I used. I'll try again.
	2:04pm doctorjazz: Still here for a bit...
	2:05pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:04 Hey David! Happy to report I've been stalking Stork in the archives ever since your recco
	🥁 2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: stork ...u see the url...?
	2:05pm fred: Greetings Stork and patrons. I'm late, is there any Glen Passaic left?
	🥁 2:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Duo" by "Pharoah Sanders" quite monk-sh.... shuffle boil
	🥁 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otherwise I find 'Spiritual Jazz' as useful ...& as limiting I suppose - as 'Bop' or 'HardBop' or 'Modal' or 'Free' or all the rest... I mean - anyone who doesn't think Jazz can be Spiritual is just ...willfully ignorant. Aren't they ?
	2:06pm Spikey BXL: ↳ fred @2:05 Salut fred. I can offer you some of my Balvenie, in case they ran out.
	2:06pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:05 Yes - got it, thanks.
	🥁 2:07pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:05 Top man!
	2:07pm Stork: ↳ fred @2:05 Our tanks are full, fred! Let's start filling yours.
	2:08pm Stork: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:06 Spikey BXL is in here!
	🥁 2:08pm David (in London): ↳ fred @2:05 Fred, my clown suit jacket might have trace amounts if you want to wring it out.
	2:09pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:06 Good coil - er, call.
	2:10pm Stork: ↳ Spikey BXL @2:05 Gladness to hear it, Spikey BXL!
	2:12pm fred: My excuse for tardiness is that was seeing a Lithuanian klezmer band. Pretty good, the only disappointment is that the accordion, trumpet, clarinet and trombone players each got a short solo, so I hoped the tuba would have one. Alas, it was not to be (how awesome would a tuba solo be?)
	🥁 2:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: Back when I lived in NYC, I was friends with a fabulous fellow named Guy Sanders, who was originally from Brownsville and was a former transit cop and EMT. I always thought of Guy as "Pharaoh Sanders," partly because he had a regal air about him. It's nice to hear this music and think about my old friend Guy. We fell outta contact, and this is me sending him good wishes.
	2:13pm i̺k̺e̺y: ↳ Stork @12:59 Hanging in there, almost recovered from a mysterious respiratory bit of nonsense. Why do I get stuck with the third-rate Dollar General-brand viruses?
	🥁 2:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ fred @2:12 fred, we are kindred spirits for sure. I do love the tuba, and think there should be more tuba solos in the world.
	🥁 2:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:06 yes that's not my reason...i find it coded in a way that just sits wrong ....for me it unknowingly echoes the term "magical negro" coined by spike lee to describe black movie characters that have special powers usually to help white charcters' besides that i think the term puts a layer of commodification that blunts it's spiritual quality
	2:16pm doctorjazz: I'm also a believer the world needs more tuba solos!
	🥁 2:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Soulful Drums" by "Idris Muhammad" was going to "dig these drums" then saw title...ha!~
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Soulful Drums" by "Idris Muhammad" This is cool!
	🥁 2:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @2:16 <3
	2:17pm Spikey BXL: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:15 Speaking of Mr Lee, this afternoon I watched David Byrne's American Utopia show, directed by him. Was an absolute delight.
	2:18pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:17 This is an excellent album!
	🥁 2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: oh huh...in general i've heard good things about that...wil try and watch
	🥁 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:15 Not an association I would have made. Or do make honestly. Curious what you'd propose instead.
	2:20pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:17 Yeah ya all's: don't miss Wendy delF's big shew tomorrow, 3-6 EDT: Special: Singles: Going Already? Way to raise hell, ma cousine!!
	🥁 2:20pm Malcontent: Hi Stork, et. al. (or should I say Storkrat Hardly Khan) Any day where I can load up on NFAK and Pharaoh Sanders is a great day. I saw Nusrat many times during the day.. surrounded by his countrymen... surrounded by NYC hipsters... and combinations thereof. But my favorite moment was when he appeared at Central Park SummerStage on Pakistani independence day (Aug 14). As he launched into "Kinna Sohna" all the NYC hipsters, all the Pakistani elders, and all the Pakistani kids erupted. It was a cross-generational, multi-national hit for a very wide demographic. And a moment when "world music" had more of a presence. I miss both NFAK and Pharaoh very much.
	🥁 2:24pm David (in London): The Storkrat is a mythical creature it's disturbing me to picture mentally...
	🥁 2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:19 something unspeakable...it's just marketing to me so i'm not interested and i don't feel i have rights to naming them. i think it gets into all sorts of issues
	2:27pm chresti: tse2.mm.bing.net...
	2:28pm chresti: ↳ chresti @2:27 Storkrat
	2:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "To Be" by "John Coltrane" Jimmy Garrison, the lady holdout from the Classic Quarter...
	🥁 2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: coltrane, alice coltrane, pharoah sanders didn't name what they created...how does somebody come along and name THEIR music
	🥁 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:24 By which you mean - explaining what you mean is unspeakable ? Associating the term 'Spriitual Jazz' with 'the magical negro' is not an issue would've ever occurred to me. I don't understand you - but it's not necessary I do (or important to you I do probly) - & that matters little I suppose.
	2:30pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:24 I would ask Chat GPT to create one, but I'd be afraid to look.
	🥁 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 Okay perhaps that's true & relevant. It always happens Artists make & others Name.
	2:31pm Stork: ↳ chresti @2:27 The snacking I referred to earlier...
	2:31pm love2laf: ↳ chresti @2:27 Perfection, StorkRat defined!
	🥁 2:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:20 Thank you for the plug, Cousin Storkie. It will definitely be a radio stunt. But, that's what raising hell is all about!
	2:33pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:31 True, there was a joke in the NME days that genres were like anarchist parties, if more than 5 got in one it was time for a split. I'm biased because I suck at telling what genre any music belongs to
	🥁 2:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 i see an echo in the processes of the creation of magical negro characters in hollywood and the process of creating the term spiritual jazz on madison ave or where ever marketing happens now
	🥁 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:33 I would think 'Spiritual Jazz' is better than many - as it's purely descriptive & simple.
	2:35pm ike̶̬̕: (opens mouth to say something profound about genre and nothing comes out except for a loud, protracted belch)
	🥁 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:35 It wouldn't have occurred to me that Madison Ave had ever heard of Spiritual Jazz ...much to its ultimate advantage. But I live far from there, so...
	🥁 2:37pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Ah Thembi, this really is the motherload.
	🥁 2:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 i think madison ave has metasticized.... it's everywhere
	2:38pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:37 This is a top-2 Pharoah.
	2:38pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Wait, what?! I was reading a lovely quote about the electric piano, and then it disappeared before I could finish. If you still have it, can you paste it here please, pretty please Stork?
	2:38pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:35 I guess it would apply in a descriptive sense to late Coltrane, but the label has been abused
	2:38pm Stork: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @2:35 Excuse you! You need another GP, Ike!
	2:39pm love2laf: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @2:35 /adds her own belch Actually I do have genres. Music I love, Music I enjoy, Music not to my personal taste but love that other people love it.
	🥁 2:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ love2laf @2:39 <3
	🥁 2:40pm David (in London): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 There's a book called The Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank whose main theory is how much the ad industry actually led the development of the 60s rather simply followed it. I don't know if it's 'the truth', but his analysis is frighteningly plausible.
	2:40pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @2:38 Oh, sorry, love2laf! That was there for back-announcing, then i deleted it - i'll put it up in the comments 4thwith
	2:41pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @2:40 No need if it spoils the back announce <3
	2:41pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Astral Traveling" by "Pharoah Sanders" Lonnie Liston Smith - On Thembi, that was the first time that I ever touched a Fender Rhodes electric piano. We got to the studio in California — Cecil McBee had to unpack his bass, the drummer had to set up his drums, Pharoah had to unpack all of his horns. Everybody had something to do, but the piano was just sitting there waiting. I saw this instrument sitting in the corner and I asked the engineer, 'What is that?' He said, 'That's a Fender Rhodes electric piano.' I didn't have anything to do, so I started messing with it, checking some of the buttons to see what I could do with different sounds. All of a sudden I started writing a song and everybody ran over and said, 'What is that?' And I said, 'I don't know, I'm just messing around.' Pharoah said, 'Man, we gotta record that. Whatcha gonna call it?' I'd been studying astral projections and it sounded like we were floating through space so I said let's call it 'Astral Traveling.' That's how I got introduced to the electric piano. Smith's 1973 debut album was titled Astral Traveling, and includes a new recording of the composition.
	2:41pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 going to assume it's not the Brentford lad who wrote it
	🥁 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:38 No doubt this is so. One's own Culture is always being sold back to one. I think you're trying too hard to equate the term with anything very nefarious tho. But there's plenty of space here to do so I suppose.
	🥁 2:42pm David (in London): ↳ Spikey BXL @2:41 Haha, wouldn't that be great!
	🥁 2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: @tom tom: An envelope from me to you is going out in Tuesday's mail.
	2:43pm Spikey BXL: ↳ David (in London) @2:42 Can't chew gum without looking like a bovine, but writes great prose
	2:43pm Stork: ↳ Stork @2:41 That's a quote from Lonnie Liston Smith - sorry!
	🥁 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 There's no doubt that part of the 'Revolution' was Commercial & Industrial. Big part of the invention of the Teenager in the first place was their Economic power. Surely Mod made that explicit.
	🥁 2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Isis And Osiris" by "Alice Coltrane" I finally got my own copy of this album (on CD) about a month ago. It was sitting right there, in the window of the used record store, just waiting for me. :-)
	2:44pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @2:43 An excellent quote, and what an insight to a magic composing moment.
	🥁 2:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:41 what is tik tok but mad ave.....i'm just going on a feeling with this issue
	🥁 2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:43 terrific wendo and thanks so much....
	🥁 2:47pm David (in London): ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 With Volkswagen being an unexpected beneficiary.
	🥁 2:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Isis And Osiris" by "Alice Coltrane" does sanders often play soprano w/ alice coltrane i wonder....
	2:47pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:44 And you started humming "How much is that copy of Journey to Satchinanda by Alice Coltrane in the window"
	🥁 2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...PostWar prosperity - it's all a Supermarket we've thot was Normal ever since. I suppose these Musics (which shall remain unnameable then) are part of the attempt to reclaim something Sacred. Which is what Jim Morrison implied was what we're all really looking for. Him being versed in the Jungians & Norman O. Brown & the lot.
	2:48pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:47 Not often at all - this is a wonderful document of his soprano saxin'
	🥁 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @2:48 oh ok thanks
	2:50pm ike̶̬̕: ↳ Stork @2:38 The non-alcoholic variety, of course. With seltzer, lime, mangosteen, a hint of jasmine, and a 25-foot ivy growing out of it and crawling up the wall.
	2:50pm adamdoesit: Where is this jazz that isn't spiritual? That'd be like a bird doesn't have wings… or Glen Passaic without the beguiling toxicity. Barkeep!
	🥁 2:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Stork @2:47 "I do hope that copy of Journey to Satchinanda by Alice Coltrane's for sale..."
	🥁 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...would 'Transcendental Jazz' just be kicking the can down the road ?...
	🥁 2:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 Hahaha, yes! Well said, adamdoesit.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Great set, good squeezing stuff into an NYC Studio apt music Thanks Stork!
	2:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:50 Or up the stairs, perhaps.
	2:52pm Stork: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 None are so bliind as them that will not see.. or those who've had a few pops of GP.
	🥁 2:52pm David (in London): Yes, this was an absolute cracker of a show today. Thank you Storkrat Everyready Can. Have a good week Club-goers.
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @2:40 hi David! ... i personally doubt it, but it's certainly plausible; and at least the fashion side of it directed by marketing. ...just as the concept of there really only being 1 "political party", or corporation, in the us - staging all the competition, and ultimately putting whichever talking head in office that works in their overall plan. certainly plausible; but then there're countless fools who have been manipulated by marketing to adopt an idea that "conspiracy theorist" is a derogitory term.
	🥁 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @2:52 i call for renaming glen passaic ...spiritual jazzz
	2:53pm fred: ↳ Stork @2:52 Can it be a coincidence that the AI most known for hallucinating is called Chat GPT
	🥁 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @2:50 Right - didn't it have roots in 'Spirituals' anyhow ? I suppose I like the juxtaposition of the exalted word 'Spiritual' with the word 'Jazz' & its roots in the profane. This makes a point for me ...more theoretical than either racial nor commercial.
	2:55pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @2:52 Thank you kindly, DiL - and mind how you go - or how you pitch headlog into people and things. See you back on the dirty barroom floor next week.
	2:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:53 Spiritous jizz? I'd give you a recipe for that, but this is a family program. fred, that explains a lot. Great show today. Thank you, Storkrat Fadduh Allez CAN!
	2:55pm Stork: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:53 coela! How-day?
	2:56pm love2laf: Thank you Stork, as David said, this was a cracker of a show! Love all the info you share in the playlist, the detail is amazing. Cheers everyone, final double round of GP on me.
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:51 This is a Spiritual experience...getting more stuff in than the cubic feet allow, magical!
	🥁 2:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for the excellent musics, Cousin Storkie!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:55 "sugar sugar" by the archies can be spiritual if you let it
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Stork @2:55 hi Stork...'been tuned-in since ~2(?)
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Storkeleh!
	🥁 2:57pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks stork....enjoyed the show....now look at my damned site!!!! ........; )))))
	🥁 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:56 & always that. Like George saying Ringo wrote that way with 'Octopus's Garden' without even really knowing it ...or Robyn Hitchcock saying the coffee grounds in the morning can be 'Psychedelic' if you happen to see it that way...
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:58 hear hear... -even Billy J...Billy Jo. . . no i can't say it !
	🥁 3:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:59 ...if you don't ...Madison Ave. will...
	3:01pm Stork: STORK CLUB ADVISORINO: WE STARTED ABOUT 8 MINUTES LATE TODAY (THANKS, OBAMA!)

	3:14pm ike̶̬̕: What if it's just spiritual jazz in the sense of being dunked in a vat of Glen Passaic? That's a spirit!
	3:15pm Stork: ↳ Yvang @3:09 Thanks kindly, Yvang!
	🥁 3:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @3:14 Ah. The New Agers always say alcohol is called 'Spirits' cause it's Evil.
