	9:21pm coelacanth: i've got 3.14159265359 of one. we'll have to divide it up.
	9:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 0.1 carrot cake beats 0.0 carrot cake. that Don/Gato vibe is consistently mad.
	9:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: the "togetherness" LP credited to Cherry/Barbieri is a stunnah as well.

	9:59pm coelacanth: i never noticed before that Bowie (heavily) borrowed from this for "tvc15"...but then i've never heard this version of cow cow.
	10:02pm coelacanth: i've heard that...and Berry ultimately never gave him his due- by a long shot; which adds to the potentiality of it.
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: I saw Johnnie sit in with the Grateful Dead once. That was fun.
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In 'Hail Hail R'n'R' movie ? - Keef suggests tunes are in 'piano keys' (guitarist tend towards E & stuff)?...
	10:09pm melinda: I didn't know John Fahey did xmas songs, nice.

	10:11pm Mark R: Melinda it's called "The New Possibility." He did two volumes and they've now combined them both into one album which I think is still available. One of my favorite Christmas albums!
	10:15pm Cooh John: Coming in to this jazz. Swing it.
	10:17pm Listener142985: Wash Post did nice piece on how River became a Christmas favorite despite being 'thoroughly depressing.' Ran last week, easily found online, bunch of links to covers by people like Sarah McLachlan. Worth a look for lovers of the song.

	10:24pm melinda: @Listener: River is a great xmas song, I'm not surprised it's a favorite. Lots of people are kinda depressed or at least touched by melancholy around this time, so it offers an alternative to forced cheer.

	10:30pm Jonathan Herweg: Yes the drummer is sick... Milford graves??
	10:30pm Mark R: Doing it whenever I get the chance, Jonathan!
	10:31pm coelacanth: oops! no offense to Mr.Andy!

	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people had stuff to let out in '69...
	10:36pm coelacanth: i'm the ghost of big-time producer future. ...you're going places.
	10:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Speaking of Sinatra: Very soon it will be time to cue up the one xmas tradition we keep around here -- midnight screening of MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM. … did it sarcastically about 20 years ago and it stuck.
