Listener comments!
	10:02pm Doug Schulkind: Today would have been my mother's 86th birthday. It's the first I've spent without her. So crank it, Little Danny!
	10:02pm Scraps: One epic peanut shell, come back over there to here! H'lo
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: howdy Lil D B Strong!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace, Doug's Mum.
	10:05pm Little Danny: Hi everybody! Set of mostly 45s opening the show so I gotta be on my toesies!
	10:05pm Scraps: Doug, I will raise a glass to your mother.
	10:05pm Little Danny: @Doug: will do! What kind of music did yer mother like?
	10:09pm Flash Strap: I'll join you in raising that glass, Scraps. Doug: Blessings and praise upon her memory. Love to you.
	10:11pm Doug Schulkind: My mother's taste in music was fairly abysmal. She did love Sweet Honey in the Rock, however.
	10:13pm Little Danny: warning: surface noise ahead
	10:13pm Little Danny: @Doug Ha! I'll see what I can do
	10:21pm melinda: nice tunes
	10:22pm Little Danny: Thanks Melinda, and hello!
	10:22pm Dean: Celebrate moms. Mine, approaching 90, turned me on to Billie Holiday, Rachmaninov, and Burt Bacharach. Otherwise, her taste flounders pretty much. For instance, I used to play old Rod Stewart records on my crappy turntable at home. "Turn that down!," she'd demand. Fast forward a few decades and it's, "Isn't that Rod Stewart a wonderful performer?!"
	10:28pm Little Danny: @Dean ha! Rod wears everyone down. I'm holding strong tho
	10:29pm Flash Strap: I'm with you LD
	10:31pm MrFab: Just came back from a jazz quintet concert at the performing arts school across the street from where I work, and am back at my desk. Monk, Shearing...man, like, those kids were swinging like a rusty gate, dad.
	10:31pm melinda: I like Tonight I'm Yours.
	10:39pm Little Danny: That's awesome MrF - "rusty" can be a good and bad thing of course but definitely applies to some school jazz bands
	10:41pm Little Danny: Jaki Liebezeit can be so damn funky
	10:41pm Little Danny: Also, anyone care to spell Ege Bamyasi for me phonetically so I don't totally embarrass myself?
	10:44pm Flash Strap: I've always just said egg-eh bah-məyahsee but in truth i have no idea
	10:45pm Dean: Happy to oblige. oh-WAH ta-GOO sigh-AM
	10:45pm MrFab: Gave me hope for the future. As for "Ege Bamyasi" I've always mentally pronounced it 'edgy bam-yas-ee' but have no idea if that's correct. Or if there even IS a correct pronunciation.
	10:47pm Little Danny: Okay, thanks all, I'm heartened that no one really knows how to pronounce it. I'll just go with my eh-jay bomb-yasi
	10:47pm Doug Schulkind: Oh this is nice! I did a Summertime songtacular a couple of years ago, but didn't have this version: wfmu.org...
	10:49pm Little Danny: You got a lotta o' my fave versions in there Doug! But I have some additional biscuits up my sleeve - got a major thing for "Summertime" here
	10:51pm Doug Schulkind: Now is the summer of our content, with the Cool Blue Flame.
	10:52pm Little Danny: In my archaeology days I camped for a summer in the National Forests of Utah and it has forever been thought of as the Summer of Our Discount Tent, which it was
	10:57pm Doug Schulkind: Nathan Davis is an under-adored treasure. He was on the faculty at the Univ. of Pittsburgh for around 40 years. Retired a few years back. What a swinging genius.
	10:58pm Little Danny: yep! quite a resume Davis!
	10:58pm Little Danny: * Davis has
	11:10pm Scraps: Any information about who played on and (especially) who wrote it is welcome.
	11:13pm Scraps: I doubt I would stay if Joe Cocker essayed a take of Summertime
	11:15pm MrFab: I'm not usually too interested in the personnel unless it's someone really notable...tho of course that's a judgment call.
	11:15pm Little Danny: Oof, yeah, Joe Cocker. Rough stuff
	11:16pm Scraps: Probably Mandy Patinkin would result in one less person in the room, also.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Thanks for the input MrF and Scraps!
	11:18pm Scraps: I guess that means (for me) Summertime would not benefit with a Histrionic approach.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: i just listened to Joe Cocker yesterday; his great versions of "the letter", "feelin' alright" and "delta lady". now if a version of summertime (a song i also truly Love) came on by pretty much any currently popular pop or rnb singer, i'd be outa here. ...that said, i agree Joe's probably wouldn't be good; but i'd give it a chance.
	11:21pm Scraps: Also Whitney/Mariah melisma-laden approach, no.
	11:21pm Little Danny: Vocal histrionics rarely do much for me. I guess Yma Sumac being the obvious exception.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: ...i also think his version of "with a little help from me friends" from the woodstock album easily rivals the original. ...still, yeh, generally not a fan - of him or "histrionics" in general.
	11:24pm Scraps: coelacanth, cocker's The Letter makes me shudder. Cheers! (Love Yma Sumac. She pushes the envelope so far she emerges on the other side.) (Really, I don't know why I love Yma.)
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: that's why Peggy Lee is so very high in my mind, at least during her prime...she sang simple and pure and right on target. -Scraps! ha, i love it!
	11:26pm Little Danny: Ahhhh Peggy Lee
	11:26pm Scraps: I agree completely re Lee
	11:28pm MrFab: To me there's a distinction between show-offy, and the nuts who just go for it, throwing themselves into a song with all the passion they can muster: Yma, Nina Hagen, Lux Interior...ever heard Puerto Rico's utterly bonkers La Lupe?
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: - of course my opinion may have something to do with that i heard Cocker's versions of all the songs i mentioned before ever hearing other versions. (except "feelin' alright", which was 3 dog night AND rare earth's version.)
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: MrFab- absolutely. i think that's why i don't mind Cocker so much, because i think he falls into your latter catagory.
	11:35pm Scraps: He goes for it, and collossally misses it. ;-)
	11:36pm Scraps: And it's TO ME, I realize that
	11:36pm Scraps: Cocker is polarizing
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: nah. well not here anyway. i can't stand most of what i've heard i just really like a few songs... enough that i'd always give him a chance...but i cannot listen to a Joe Cocker album. no.
	11:42pm Scraps: Got it.
	11:51pm Little Danny: working my borderlands theme here for all it's worth!
	12:02am Doug Schulkind: OK, I got 9 hours to get my shit together. Thanks for the inspirations, Little D!
	12:05am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny.
	12:05am Scraps: Jesus Cussin? My mommy says Jesus never cusses.
	12:07am MrFab: Sweet dreams, all!
	12:09am Doug Schulkind: See y'all bright and oily at 9am for Give the Drummer Some (coffee)!
	12:10am Scraps: Thank you, Little Danny!
	12:12am Little Danny: Thanks and love to all here, especially everyone who made it to the bitter end!
