Listener comments!
	6:54pm Holly in NC: Just got your email - if Oum appears live on your show tonight Gary, my already insane level of appreciation for you will increase a thousandfold ;-)
	6:56pm Gary: LOL. I think I spammed the entire universe about this show, Holly -- I HAVE OUM RIGHT HERE IN THE STUDIO NEXT TO ME
	6:57pm hyde: wait, WHAT?
	6:57pm Holly in NC: I'm picturing Norman Bates' mother....
	6:58pm Gary: Oh, wait -- Oum? Hey, Oum? Shoot. She's here somewhere. I swear!
	7:00pm ndbob: evening Gary, Holly, Hyde everyone!
	7:01pm Gary: Oum says "HEY NDBOB!"
	7:02pm steve: hey Gary
	7:02pm hyde: hiya ndb!
	7:03pm listener james from westwood: Evening, Gary and all!
	7:05pm ndbob: I remember when she died - I had never heard of her at the time - the news showed large crowds of people in the streets of Cairo flogging themselves
	7:05pm Gary: Howdy Steve & James!
	7:09pm Gary: Munira al-Mahdiyya was born in 1884 and cut her first record in 1906
	7:10pm Gary: The title of this song translates to "What Nerve You Have!"
	7:11pm Gary: A fitting song for the first native Egyptian Muslim woman to sing in front of men (according to legend, anyway)
	7:11pm ndbob: This is great Gary!
	7:12pm Gary: Munira thanks you, Bob!
	7:12pm Holly in NC: Hi hyde, ndbob, steve, ljfw! Sorry, I am scattered tonight and internet connection is not good. Lovely, lovely music,Gary.
	7:13pm Gary: Fathiyya Ahmad was considered Oum's primary competition in the 20s. She retired in 1929, tho.
	7:17pm Gary: ... and I'm guessing you all know Asmahan already
	7:22pm davex: Hey, Gary! This is perfect for tonight!
	7:23pm Gary: Howdy, Dave!
	7:24pm Jill B.: Hi Everyone. Gary did you find Oum????? Did you look every where???
	7:25pm Gary: She's here, Mom! She's just shy
	7:25pm ndbob: Hi Dave and Jill!
	7:26pm davex: Hi Bob, Jill, Holly...
	7:37pm listener james from westwood: Hell of a show so far! Wow.
	7:41pm Holly in NC: Hi davex and Wonder Woman Jill B!
	7:42pm Gary: We're just getting warmed up, James!
	7:44pm hyde: it gets BETTER!?!??!?
	7:45pm Gary: Oh, my ... yes, yes, yes, it does. Trust me!
	7:55pm Jill B.: Holly, I only wish I was wonder woman! But....thank you!!! Gary....I think Arabic music is becoming my new favorite. Great show tonight.
	7:55pm cklequ: I had big plans to go out for ramen tonight, but they fell through. So i'm sticking this out for the long haul and eating whatever i can scrape off the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
	7:57pm Gary: Oum said she believes she'll make up for your noodle-less night, Cklequ
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Gary! catch the rest on the archive
	7:58pm Gary: Have a great night, Bob!
	8:06pm Cubicle Carl: Thank you, Gary, for playing the great Oum Kalthoum.
	8:14pm Gary: Howdy, Carl!
	8:24pm Cubicle Carl: I read a great accounting of an Egyptian Jewish family that emigrated to Israel, and when they soon found themselves in a bomb shelter, all the elders huddled around a radio listening to Oum Kalthoum, longing for their youth.
	8:25pm Gary: Carl, I need that book! Do you recall the title? It sounds like something I was eyeing in the bookstore last week
	8:34pm Cubicle Carl: I wish I remembered it. I'll peruse my collection and see if something rings a bell and I'll email you. There is another book, a memoir, with a similar theme, that features Oum Kalthoum prominently - "The Man In The White Sharkskin Suit" by Lucette Lagnado.
	8:35pm hyde: i wish i had a white sharkskin suit
	8:45pm Gary: Will have to track down Lagnado's book; thanks, Carl!
	8:50pm listener james from westwood: utter fucking nightmare in edgewater nj ... block-sized multifamily apt bldg being gutted
	8:51pm listener james from westwood: honestly looks like something out of the london blitz ... check "edgewater fire" on twitter. clearly visible from uws & gwb
	8:52pm Gary: What?!? Whoa, just looked at news online -- looks terrible
	8:52pm listener james from westwood: this is a pic from ny side: twitter.com...
	8:53pm Gary: Gah
	8:55pm listener james from westwood: creepy thing is this complex burnt down once before, during const, in 2000. while it was just wood and slab. saw that one from where i worked in midtown, 36 stories up.
	8:55pm hyde: that looks bad
	8:59pm Cubicle Carl: 300 evacuated and no reported injuries. Whew. Could have been worse.
	9:05pm listener james from westwood: absolutely. for the speed at which it went up? huge bullet dodged. hope that holds up.
	9:12pm Gary: ARGH! This is NOT Enta Omri. I accidentally played Fakkarouni instead. Same period, also M. Abdel Wahab, but pissed off b/c I'm not sure there's time to hear both!
	9:16pm hyde: I want my money back
	9:18pm Gary: Check's in the mail "as" "we" "speak"
	9:19pm hyde: the scare quotes lead me to suspect that there may not actually "be" a "check"!
	9:20pm Gary: Oh, "there" """""definitely"""" is a "check"
	9:27pm listener james from westwood: It might be payable in karma, but it's coming.
	9:28pm cklequ: I've gotten the WFMU refund checks. They may be printed on graham crackers, but they make the best s'mores you've ever tasted.
	9:33pm listener james from westwood: Will grab the last 1/2 hour from the iPod in the boudoir. Many thanks for this fine show, Gary! Amazing body of work.
	9:37pm Gary: Have a great night, James!
	9:51pm Gary: Oum is pushing 70 when she sings this, mind you
	9:55pm Doug Schulkind: Gonna have to catch this in the archives. Just finally able to tune in now. Dammit!
	9:56pm hyde: Doug, you missed a cool show & a nice tribute. thanks so much, Gary!
	9:59pm Gary: Howdy, Doug! See you soon! Night Hyde, Cklequ & James!

January 21, 2015: Oum Sweet Oum
Oum Kalthoum is widely acknowledged to have been the greatest Arabic singer of all time and one of most popular singers in the world, period. Tonight we'll enjoy three solid hours of classic and rare tracks by her precursors and direct competition, some major collaborators, a few notable copycats, and of course the Voice of Egypt herself.
