Listener comments!
	3:09am BEAVO: Morning Mark. Great start.
	3:10am Mark R: Welcome, Beavo. Figured "The Bells" would get everyone's eyes open.
	3:19am Scraps: That was awesome!
	3:23am Mark R: Welcome, Scraps! Glad you enjoyed it.
	3:53am Ronny G from Yorktown: Sadly I have to go to bed but I'm loving the set so far. Thanks for fighting the early morning fight
	3:54am Ronny G from Yorktown: Have a great day mark!
	3:55am Mark R: Thanks, Ronny! Sleep tight! Don't let the bedbugs bite (as my dad used to say)!
	3:58am Scraps: My dad & mom did, too. Wonder how old your dad is/was. My parents are 75.
	3:58am Ronny G from Yorktown: Hahaha! Mine too! Thank you very much. Much appreciated haha
	4:01am Mark R: Dad passed away in 1997 at the age of 74. Hard to believe it's been that long. As you can tell, I still think about him a lot--all the funny stuff he used to say.
	4:02am Scraps: Oh, that's great, both a great Mingus tune and great player.
	4:02am Scraps: Salute to your Dad.
	4:04am Mark R: The whole group is great--Geri Allen (from Detroit, I always have to mention when they're from Detroit) on piano, Rick Rozie on bass, Pheeroan Ak Laff on drums, Steve Turre and Robin Eubanks on trombones. Yes, two trombones!
	4:05am Scraps: Wow, that is a great band.
	4:06am Ronny G from Yorktown: I second the salute to your father! He produced a great man! And his still very much alive in your mind!
	4:06am Ronny G from Yorktown: And this group is incredibly talented. Nothing out there like this rn! It's got pizzazz
	4:07am Ronny G from Yorktown: Ok I'm going to bed for real now. Goodnight circle and all in it
	4:09am Mark R: Thank you for your kind words, Ronny. Maybe you can leave the radio on at low volume as you drift away, to stimulate some weirdo FMU dreams.
	4:10am Scraps: Have you heard Flute Force Four, four flautists that recorded one album? Two of them were James Newton and Henry Threadgill
	4:11am Mark R: I have not, Scraps, I'll have to look for that one. The group name is a sobriety test, I can tell you that!
	4:13am Scraps: 1997, Black Saint. It's really good. Well, I think so.
	4:14am Mark R: Black Saint was a great label. I'd almost buy any album blind if it was on that label. You can't go wrong.
	4:16am Scraps: And, yes, the sobriety test: the album's title is Flutistry. :-) And I agree about Black Saint (and Soul Note)
	4:19am Scraps: Oh yeah, "Superstar" AND Rita Coolidge!
	4:21am Scraps: Okay, lie down now, listening. Cheers.
	4:23am Mark R: Cheers, Scraps.
	4:31am Scraps: Superstar was written by Bramlett and Leon Russell. :-)
	4:32am BK, Oslo: The Sound! Yeah. An all time favorite of mine.
	4:32am Mark R: Glad we could rock it for you, BK! Welcome!
	4:36am Mark R: The girls, they love to see you shoot!
	4:39am Scraps: I always think of The Sound for a friend who lent two of their early albums to me, and they were still in my possession when he was shot and killed in a mugging. He was so sweet. Memories are tied with... weird things
	4:41am Mark R: How awful, Scraps. And yes, memories can be very weird sometimes.
	4:41am Scraps: Call Me Up is an awesome song. And Songs of the Free is an underrated album, mostly because the first two Gang of Four albums were so great
	4:43am Scraps: Um, also I Love A Man in a Uniform, too. Gee.
	4:48am Scraps: Did I say that I'm going to lie down? Yes.... Oh man, Messiaen! Wow.
	♥ 5:10am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Mark.
	5:12am Mark R: Morning, Sem. Glad you could join us!
	♥ 5:43am Sem Chumbo: A wonderfully fine thing, this Ammons/Chambers. Thank you, Mark.
	5:45am Mark R: Glad you're enjoying, Sem.
	5:57am Mark R: Thanks for tuning in, everybody! See you next week!
	6:03am Lixiviated Life: What? Oh. Ok I'm up I'm up. (Coffee yet?)
