	10:24am TDK60: Hi David. Just checked in early to remind myself to come back later! ...
	11:09am David Dichelle: See you later, TDK60!
	11:51am Honeybear: They took down Johann Wolfgang?? I hope there's an explanation for this, David
	11:58am David Dichelle: I'm not sure that there is an explanation for that or any of the odd monument found on a side street, Honeybear.
	🚂 12:00pm David (in London): Afternoon Groovers, my ticket is punched and I'm ready to ride. Hello David.
	12:01pm Really Lisa: Hi David and everyone. Window seat not facing any snow please!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Hi-listening while clearing snow!
	12:01pm TDK60: Hi David! I'm not new wave, more a longhair, but my new wave friends who brought me here, said don't smile too much, I'll be fine.
	🚂 12:02pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David, Straphangers. I can see snow from here!
	🚂 12:02pm Carmichael: heya David and riders. For the record, I'm an old hippie.
	12:02pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. Up front on the cow catcher. What a view!
	🚂 12:03pm Yvang: Hi David and travelers! I have an idea for a new segment on Continental Subway : RANDOM ROUD!!!
	🚂 12:03pm Bas NL: Hi David & passengers!
	12:03pm TDK60: Really Really Lisa? I'll take a seat on the snowy side. I love snowscapes.
	🚂 12:04pm Handy Haversack: Talk about a song that's always appropriate.
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Greetings David, Lisa, Dr. J., TDK (again), Honeybear (properly), Handy, Carmichael, Sem, Yvang, Bas!
	12:05pm David Dichelle: And snow! What was that again?
	🚂 12:05pm Yvang: I guess Indochine will probably not be the country randomly selected this week, unless under an updated name?
	12:06pm Really Lisa: Really really TDK60. I've got a view of a snowy parking lot at the moment. Would rather see greener landscapes on this train ride.
	12:06pm TDK60: Ah, my weekly Welsh fix?
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Yvang, that could be Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. And could be today's destination, of course...
	🚂 12:07pm Handy Haversack: I'm sticking with the Gambia this week! There have been signs and omens. Signs and omens!
	12:08pm David Dichelle: TDK60, never enough Welsh!
	12:08pm David Dichelle: The old Gambia gambit!
	🚂 12:09pm David (in London): I am placing my chips down on Mauritius. Now roll those dice David and the Devil take the hindmost...
	🚂 12:10pm Handy Haversack: Mauritius! That old game! Last refuge of the scoundrel.
	12:11pm David Dichelle: Alea iacta est, to coin a phrase, but the big reveal will follow in just under two hours.
	12:12pm TDK60: I'm going with Malta.
	🚂 12:12pm David (in London): Yes Handy, I'll play a low blow if the circumstances require it. What a heel I am.
	12:14pm Really Lisa: I've had no luck guessing. I'll stick with the Roud and stay off the Random Road.
	🚂 12:14pm David (in London): Really liking this Alpha Beta. Some of the lurking Os Mutantes craziness about it.
	🚂 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, good call, David (iL).
	12:15pm TDK60: Well hello David in London. Same time zone as Leipzig?
	🚂 12:16pm Yvang: Wow! I love this Vangelis!
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: Kate would also like to guess: Lebanon! We have separate betting accounts, so it's all on the up and up.
	12:20pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	🚂 12:20pm David (in London): TDK, we're on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, the zero meridian and all that) and Leipzig is CET, one hour ahead of us. June Tabor! Hooray!
	12:20pm TDK60: Hi Handy; please pass my regards from the Heights over to Kate in Kings.
	🚂 12:21pm David (in London): Phillippe Bastille! Hooray x 2.
	12:21pm Hubig Pie: Are there any random countries or territories that have no musical traditions? And I going all in on Tunisia
	12:21pm TDK60: x3.
	🚂 12:21pm Carmichael: My guess is ..... Belize!
	🚂 12:22pm David (in London): Wotcha Hubig. Howdy Carmichael.
	12:22pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey DiL, Handy, Lisa,
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Phillippe Bastille and Hubig Pie!
	12:23pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm gonna go with the Marshall Islands
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Hubig: They all pretty much do, although some have so few inhabitants that it would be kind of silly to feature them.
	12:25pm David Dichelle: And here's that link again to the new list of previous Random Roads with links: wfmu.org...
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: Wotcha David and David
	🚂 12:26pm David (in London): Ha ha, Mauritius isn't on there. It's a shoo-in now for sure!
	🚂 12:26pm David (in London): Uh oh, look serious, Ewan's here.
	12:27pm Really Lisa: Hey Phillippe B.
	🚂 12:27pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, Kate sends her best and wishes you happy days! Yo, Phillippe, Lisa, Carmichael, Hubig. Hi, Ewan.
	12:29pm TDK60: Shhh, quiet back there!
	12:29pm Really Lisa: <whispers hi to Handy>
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: Ewan's a no-nonsence type guy?
	🚂 12:31pm Handy Haversack: He's from a dirty old town.
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: There was an Irish bar in New Orleans where you got scolded if you made any noise during the musical performance
	🚂 12:32pm chresti: Hi David and bonny continentals!
	12:32pm David Dichelle: Hello Chresti!
	12:33pm Hubig Pie: Nonsense, dammit
	🚂 12:34pm David (in London): Hubig - Bass legend Dave 'Bitches Brew' Holland actually once stopped playing to tell me not to take a photo (it was a small venue in Manchester). Mmm, I didn't feel embarrassed at all, no siree.
	12:34pm TDK60: Hola Chresti.
	🚂 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, yeah, the very self-serious side of folk music. I once rescued Dougie MacLean when he was trapped at a table with the shushers after a show. Well, we bought each other drinks and enthused at each other for a while. It was my last night waiting tables at the brew pub before leaving grad school, and I'd had to miss his show to do it, so I was blown right the hell away when he walked in the door.
	12:35pm David Dichelle: Yes, it is Scots Gaelic with a slight French accent.
	🚂 12:36pm chresti: That must be difficult to shush folks in an Irish bar. Hola TDK60\\ //
	🚂 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Scone was where the kings of Scotland were crowned, at the Stone of Scone, which of course was taken to London.
	12:38pm Hubig Pie: Chresti, the bar was divided . One room was for socializing and the other was for serious folk music appreciation
	🚂 12:38pm David (in London): The Scone of Stone was, conversely, a lovely cream tea I once had in Staffordshire.
	🚂 12:39pm Handy Haversack: A history both bloody and delicious, David!
	🚂 12:42pm David (in London): A proper West Country cream tea is a thing of absolute gustatory beauty Handy. I'm buying when you're next here...
	12:44pm TDK60: David, I was witness to the cream tea unpleasantness between the Devonians and Cornish.
	🚂 12:45pm Handy Haversack: The Devonian period was a rough one for tea. Sounds excellent, David!
	🚂 12:47pm David (in London): TDK. Oh ha ha! I've seen that, too, and it's not a pretty sight. I'm surprised you made it out alive actually. My friend Maf is from Dorset, and they wade into the fight at the slightest opportunity, too. My line is always 'I'd better sample another before I could possibly make any kind of informed judgement'...
	12:51pm TDK60: David, I was in a St. Just cafe; a waitress explained it as she served my Cornish cream tea. When finished she said: "Oh, but you're American, you can just cut it in half and make a sandwich."
	🚂 12:53pm Carmichael: @Hubig, ya can't have good craic if others are having their own craic.
	🚂 12:56pm Carmichael: I went to see Fairport in Davis once, and had dinner and drinks across the street beforehand. They were all there, lined up at the bar. I laughed at the matter, and they waved me over to join them. Hilarity ensued.
	12:56pm Hubig Pie: Had to enter that one into the search tab, Carmichael
	🚂 12:57pm Handy Haversack: That's awesome, Carmichael.
	12:57pm David Dichelle: Carmichael: Do tell more!
	🚂 12:58pm David (in London): I'll bet a drink with Dave Pegg gets pretty riotous quite quickly.
	🚂 1:00pm Handy Haversack: The Dougie MacLean incident was also in a college town. Only so many places to go! And the brewpub where I worked had an Irish-ish trad session every week, so I guess it was a natural spot for the folk folx to bring him.
	🚂 1:01pm Carmichael: They were a jovial bunch, Simon Nicol, Chris French and Ric Sanders. Peggy wasn't there, so naturally they told lots of stories about him. They were surprised at how many times I have seen RT (about 20), and out came the stories about him. I told Nicol I own a copy of the Old Grey Whistle Test show with him playing with RT, and he replied, "So that's it, embarrass the band, eh?"
	1:04pm Webhamster Henry: Very Laurie Spiegel-y, this piece.
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Sounds like a great - and insightful - time, Carmichael!
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Hey there, WH!
	1:06pm David Dichelle: Phantom Horse is a German duo, in fact.
	🚂 1:09pm David (in London): I went up to take some photos of the Fairport house some years ago. It would be so great to own that house.
	1:12pm TDK60: Where is that, David?
	🚂 1:15pm David (in London): TDK. It's a quiet little area called Fortis Green, which is just next to Muswell Hill in the north. The Kinks were also from around there, so musically it has always punched well above its weight.
	1:18pm TDK60: Dug that Daniela Casa. / Ah David, I have the Kinks album, Muswell Hillbillies. And do you know why Fairport later chose Cropredy village for fests?
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Carmichael-as one who's seen RT as many times as you have, that story makes quite jealousi did get to interview RT with a friend who wrote for Guitar World at a festival in Spain, b something like Masters of Guitar. He was very nice to speak to (a much more formal situation than a meeting in a pub). I managed to put my foot in my mouth by asking him if he could play Rockin' in Rhythm solo (which he recorded on his Strict Tempo album, but with parts overdubbed, which I should have realized from listening to it). He was embarrassed, said it was overdubbed, and I realized I had erred. But he was gracious about it all.
	🚂 1:23pm David (in London): TDK, I just assumed that one, some or all them lived around there at some point.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Snow day, getting to listen to the show on my stereo, usually listen at the office on a desktop speaker. Very nice!
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Kronos-would never have guessed! Very cool!
	1:27pm kuba: hello fellow trainers, sounding good there dave!
	1:30pm northguineahills: I once broke into a demolition site of a building dating from the 19th c just to take some bricks to use later w/ mics in a concert later....
	🚂 1:31pm Brian in UK: Hello David & those with open ears. I believe travel is free after 11am everyday until the New Year.
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Hey there Kuba, NGH, and Brian!
	1:32pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Kuba, speaking of Berlin-based people!
	🚂 1:33pm Brian in UK: Mr Pegg does like a glass of red, well he does live in France.
	1:33pm kuba: happy to chime the berlin whistle!
	1:34pm Listener Robert: That memorial's telling me to "go ethe" thoveling the thnow, which is why I'm taking a break.
	1:36pm David Dichelle: Robert, you have broken the code - enjoy the break! Haven't seen real snow here in what feels like years.
	🚂 1:38pm Handy Haversack: NYC didn't have any real snow last year, David.
	🚂 1:39pm Brian in UK: Will continue listening in the kitchen, lots to do as our Christmas eve is tomorrow. I know it is early.
	1:39pm northguineahills: ah, a little of the Ludwig van. I would like to see a DNA analysis of his remains to see if he actually had Moorish ancestry, then Africa can claim him as one of their own (But he was German all the same)
	1:39pm Hubig Pie: Ludwig Von's b'day yesterday (or thereabouts)
	1:39pm northguineahills: ....but, does it really matter?
	1:40pm TDK60: Hi Brian, off to the kitchen.
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: Or his christening
	1:42pm David Dichelle: Yes, he was baptized 250 years ago today on December 17, 1770, so it is assumed he was born the day before.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: With some savvy marketing, I could see this Beethoven guy becoming very popular with the rekkid-buying public!
	🚂 1:47pm David (in London): Handy, yes, it has a good steady beat for ultraviolence.
	1:48pm northguineahills: I see we all went to the same reference.....
	🚂 1:48pm Handy Haversack: And all that cal.
	1:50pm Hubig Pie: Handy, he was marketed pretty heavily back in 1970. My Xmas was all Ludwig Von, - a small head bust, a new biography, and the 9 symphony box set. When was Clockwork Orange released?
	🚂 1:53pm Handy Haversack: December 1971 in NYC, Jan. and Feb. in the UK and the rest of the States, respectively.
	🚂 1:53pm David (in London): Following year, 1971. You were a trend-setter Hubig.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Thought I was going to just veg and listen after my snow clearing, but have to go to Staten Island after all (MRI of back which I assumed was cancelled, but seems they're open and could take me). Catch you in the car, thanks, David!
	1:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Doctorjazz, drive safely through all that snow!
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: All my love of Sir Ludwig's music and my parents wouldn't take me to that movie. I had to wait 5 years and see it at the drive-in as a stoned teenager
	🚂 2:01pm Handy Haversack: And then wait another ten years for yet another great artist to point out the fundamental truth: Parents just don't understand.
	2:03pm David in London: Albania, Mauritius, practically the same place.
	🚂 2:03pm Bas NL: Albania! Interesting!
	2:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Is Albania the suburban area around Albany?
	🚂 2:04pm Handy Haversack: Albania! I think so often of the line in /So Long and Thanks for All the Fish/ about the steel-gray trucks driving around Europe with no markings other than ALBANIA. Which is closer, Malta or Lebanon?
	2:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Closer to what?
	2:05pm Sem: That was my guess last week, I think. Great travel book about Albania: The Accursed Mountains, Robert Carver. Recommended.
	2:06pm TDK60: I was closest with Malta?
	🚂 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Malta. TDK60 is closest!
	2:06pm David Dichelle: Handy: Good question, Malta I think.
	2:09pm David Dichelle: TDK60, yes!
	🚂 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Sem. Looks like maybe it wasn't published in the States? At any rate, used copies are cheaper to have shipped from the UK!
	2:09pm northguineahills: Finally got my unemployment approved. It only took 7 weeks... When will Pitcairn Island get its due? The Hoxha regime was weird. Malta is geographically closer
	2:09pm TDK60: Albanian isn't a Slavic language? But part of the Indo-European group?
	🚂 2:10pm βrian: TDK60 gets a basket of diereses.
	2:10pm David Dichelle: And well done, Sem - guessing a week off is hard enough!
	2:10pm northguineahills: correct, TDK!
	2:11pm David Dichelle: TDK60: Yes, exactly. It is sort of isolated as a separate Indo-European family, but has several distinct dialects.
	2:12pm David Dichelle: ßrian: No better prize!
	2:12pm TDK60: And isn't Greek like that? Distinct within the Indo-E.?
	2:13pm David Dichelle: Yes, Greek is as well. As is Armenian. Of course there may have been more distinct relatives in the past that disappeared with little trace.
	2:14pm David Dichelle: NGH: Glad it worked out at least, even if it took a long time.
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: ngh, will you get all the back-dated payments? Kate did once her claim was finally approved, which I think might have taken even longer.
	2:15pm TDK60: Yes NGH. Took me many months.
	🚂 2:17pm Brian in UK: It was almost impossible to get into Albania during Enver Hoxha's reign.
	🚂 2:17pm dutchtheo: Alo, David and travellers to Albania!
	2:18pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Dutchtheo!
	2:18pm TDK60: I know an Albanian street food vendor; he and his two Mexican co-cooks. I stop by for coffee (and to share insults about the leader).
	2:19pm Hubig Pie: They make a tasty sheep's milk feta in Albania but cuz of EU it's called white cheese
	2:20pm Webhamster Henry: A friend of mine went there in search of Albanian music and had a great time.
	2:22pm David Dichelle: Go for the music, stay for the cheese.
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: What a beautiful language and great songs!
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Glad you are enjoying them, Bas!
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: David, if you want to make Albanian cheese your 2021 premium, I'll go ahead and take mine now.
	🚂 2:30pm chresti: I love sheep's milk kefir.
	2:32pm David Dichelle: Handy: Maybe in a Woof-Moo form - heavy on the Moo?
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Or Woof-Baa, perhaps.
	🚂 2:35pm Handy Haversack: Milk from a Sheep Dog! WFMU Snacks and Tracks 2021!
	2:36pm David Dichelle: Now that would be something!
	2:37pm TDK60: Finally time to vegan? Hee.
	2:41pm David Dichelle: It could also work as a T-shirt, come to think of it.
	🚂 2:42pm Handy Haversack: I can see the T-shirt, definitely. I also can picyture an allusion to the gatefold of ZZ Top's Tres Hombres but with foods from all the Random Road regions. But that might be a little excessive. Even by my cheese standards, which start pretty excessive.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Finished the drive, some headphone listening while I wait...
	2:43pm Stanley: Last fifteen minutes? I'll take what I can on a day like today Hello Dvid, all.
	2:43pm Honeybear: Now this is a find - sounds like the albanian Gurdjieff
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Evening, Stanley!
	2:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:44pm David Dichelle: Doctorjazz: Glad you got through.
	2:44pm TDK60: Hey Stanley. / David is Albanian music isolate like the language or influences from Balkans? Turks? etc?
	2:44pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm ET- https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/99360
	2:45pm David Dichelle: TDK60: I think it is much more of a continuum musically.
	🚂 2:46pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Stanley! fred was looking for you yesterday for advice on what looked like a pretty great malt. Cambus Distillery. A "ghost malt."
	2:47pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. A country Christmas for you this year?
	2:50pm Phillippe Bastille: this is pretty
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: loverly. thank you.
	2:53pm David in London: What a great show today. Thanks David.
	🚂 2:53pm Bas NL: plop Wow. Again, great songs!
	2:53pm Stanley: Hi Sem. Yes, happily.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David, loved the show!
	2:53pm TDK60: Danke, David. What a treat.
	🚂 2:53pm Handy Haversack: Dang it, my stop always comes too quickly. Have to gather up the paper and my hat and jump off in such a hurry every week. This was great, David! Thanks so much. Back for Snacks and Tracks next week!
	🚂 2:54pm dutchtheo: Thanks, David, great albanian set!
	🚂 2:54pm Handy Haversack: We should figure out a way to do an Indiania Jones-style travel map of the Random Road Regions.
	🚂 2:55pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:55pm Brian in UK: Thanks David. Whodathoughtit Albania in Eurodoublevision.
	2:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:55pm Bas NL: Disembarking toward the cold.. great ride David! Thanks!
	2:55pm Sem: Wonderful, good to hear, Stanley. Thank you for the musical ride today, David. Hope to be aboard next time, G'night, all.
	🚂 2:56pm Brian in UK: Bye bye, Sem.
	🚂 3:00pm Yvang: Thanks, David!
	3:01pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone!
	🚂 3:27pm Michael 98145: To the archives!

Listener comments!
	10:17am David Dichelle: Hey everyone - there is now an overview of previous Random Road segments located here: wfmu.org...
	10:21am David Dichelle: And just in case: Those are the weekly segments during the third hour of the show, featuring a randomly selected country or territory.
	10:24am TDK60: Hi David. Just checked in early to remind myself to come back later! ...
	11:09am David Dichelle: See you later, TDK60!
	11:51am Honeybear: They took down Johann Wolfgang?? I hope there's an explanation for this, David
	11:58am David Dichelle: I'm not sure that there is an explanation for that or any of the odd monument found on a side street, Honeybear.
	🚂 12:00pm David (in London): Afternoon Groovers, my ticket is punched and I'm ready to ride. Hello David.
	12:01pm Really Lisa: Hi David and everyone. Window seat not facing any snow please!
	12:01pm doctorjazz: Hi-listening while clearing snow!
	12:01pm TDK60: Hi David! I'm not new wave, more a longhair, but my new wave friends who brought me here, said don't smile too much, I'll be fine.
	🚂 12:02pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David, Straphangers. I can see snow from here!
	🚂 12:02pm Carmichael: heya David and riders. For the record, I'm an old hippie.
	12:02pm Sem: Hello, David, and all aboard. Up front on the cow catcher. What a view!
	🚂 12:03pm Yvang: Hi David and travelers! I have an idea for a new segment on Continental Subway : RANDOM ROUD!!!
	🚂 12:03pm Bas NL: Hi David & passengers!
	12:03pm TDK60: Really Really Lisa? I'll take a seat on the snowy side. I love snowscapes.
	🚂 12:04pm Handy Haversack: Talk about a song that's always appropriate.
	12:04pm David Dichelle: Greetings David, Lisa, Dr. J., TDK (again), Honeybear (properly), Handy, Carmichael, Sem, Yvang, Bas!
	12:05pm David Dichelle: And snow! What was that again?
	🚂 12:05pm Yvang: I guess Indochine will probably not be the country randomly selected this week, unless under an updated name?
	12:06pm Really Lisa: Really really TDK60. I've got a view of a snowy parking lot at the moment. Would rather see greener landscapes on this train ride.
	12:06pm TDK60: Ah, my weekly Welsh fix?
	12:07pm David Dichelle: Yvang, that could be Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam. And could be today's destination, of course...
	🚂 12:07pm Handy Haversack: I'm sticking with the Gambia this week! There have been signs and omens. Signs and omens!
	12:08pm David Dichelle: TDK60, never enough Welsh!
	12:08pm David Dichelle: The old Gambia gambit!
	🚂 12:09pm David (in London): I am placing my chips down on Mauritius. Now roll those dice David and the Devil take the hindmost...
	🚂 12:10pm Handy Haversack: Mauritius! That old game! Last refuge of the scoundrel.
	12:11pm David Dichelle: Alea iacta est, to coin a phrase, but the big reveal will follow in just under two hours.
	12:12pm TDK60: I'm going with Malta.
	🚂 12:12pm David (in London): Yes Handy, I'll play a low blow if the circumstances require it. What a heel I am.
	12:14pm Really Lisa: I've had no luck guessing. I'll stick with the Roud and stay off the Random Road.
	🚂 12:14pm David (in London): Really liking this Alpha Beta. Some of the lurking Os Mutantes craziness about it.
	🚂 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, good call, David (iL).
	12:15pm TDK60: Well hello David in London. Same time zone as Leipzig?
	🚂 12:16pm Yvang: Wow! I love this Vangelis!
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: Kate would also like to guess: Lebanon! We have separate betting accounts, so it's all on the up and up.
	12:20pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	🚂 12:20pm David (in London): TDK, we're on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, the zero meridian and all that) and Leipzig is CET, one hour ahead of us. June Tabor! Hooray!
	12:20pm TDK60: Hi Handy; please pass my regards from the Heights over to Kate in Kings.
	🚂 12:21pm David (in London): Phillippe Bastille! Hooray x 2.
	12:21pm Hubig Pie: Are there any random countries or territories that have no musical traditions? And I going all in on Tunisia
	12:21pm TDK60: x3.
	🚂 12:21pm Carmichael: My guess is ..... Belize!
	🚂 12:22pm David (in London): Wotcha Hubig. Howdy Carmichael.
	12:22pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey DiL, Handy, Lisa,
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Phillippe Bastille and Hubig Pie!
	12:23pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm gonna go with the Marshall Islands
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Hubig: They all pretty much do, although some have so few inhabitants that it would be kind of silly to feature them.
	12:25pm David Dichelle: And here's that link again to the new list of previous Random Roads with links: wfmu.org...
	12:25pm Hubig Pie: Wotcha David and David
	🚂 12:26pm David (in London): Ha ha, Mauritius isn't on there. It's a shoo-in now for sure!
	🚂 12:26pm David (in London): Uh oh, look serious, Ewan's here.
	12:27pm Really Lisa: Hey Phillippe B.
	🚂 12:27pm Handy Haversack: TDK60, Kate sends her best and wishes you happy days! Yo, Phillippe, Lisa, Carmichael, Hubig. Hi, Ewan.
	12:29pm TDK60: Shhh, quiet back there!
	12:29pm Really Lisa: <whispers hi to Handy>
	12:30pm Hubig Pie: Ewan's a no-nonsence type guy?
	🚂 12:31pm Handy Haversack: He's from a dirty old town.
	12:32pm Hubig Pie: There was an Irish bar in New Orleans where you got scolded if you made any noise during the musical performance
	🚂 12:32pm chresti: Hi David and bonny continentals!
	12:32pm David Dichelle: Hello Chresti!
	12:33pm Hubig Pie: Nonsense, dammit
	🚂 12:34pm David (in London): Hubig - Bass legend Dave 'Bitches Brew' Holland actually once stopped playing to tell me not to take a photo (it was a small venue in Manchester). Mmm, I didn't feel embarrassed at all, no siree.
	12:34pm TDK60: Hola Chresti.
	🚂 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, yeah, the very self-serious side of folk music. I once rescued Dougie MacLean when he was trapped at a table with the shushers after a show. Well, we bought each other drinks and enthused at each other for a while. It was my last night waiting tables at the brew pub before leaving grad school, and I'd had to miss his show to do it, so I was blown right the hell away when he walked in the door.
	12:35pm David Dichelle: Yes, it is Scots Gaelic with a slight French accent.
	🚂 12:36pm chresti: That must be difficult to shush folks in an Irish bar. Hola TDK60\\ //
	🚂 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Scone was where the kings of Scotland were crowned, at the Stone of Scone, which of course was taken to London.
	12:38pm Hubig Pie: Chresti, the bar was divided . One room was for socializing and the other was for serious folk music appreciation
	🚂 12:38pm David (in London): The Scone of Stone was, conversely, a lovely cream tea I once had in Staffordshire.
	🚂 12:39pm Handy Haversack: A history both bloody and delicious, David!
	🚂 12:42pm David (in London): A proper West Country cream tea is a thing of absolute gustatory beauty Handy. I'm buying when you're next here...
	12:44pm TDK60: David, I was witness to the cream tea unpleasantness between the Devonians and Cornish.
	🚂 12:45pm Handy Haversack: The Devonian period was a rough one for tea. Sounds excellent, David!
	🚂 12:47pm David (in London): TDK. Oh ha ha! I've seen that, too, and it's not a pretty sight. I'm surprised you made it out alive actually. My friend Maf is from Dorset, and they wade into the fight at the slightest opportunity, too. My line is always 'I'd better sample another before I could possibly make any kind of informed judgement'...
	12:51pm TDK60: David, I was in a St. Just cafe; a waitress explained it as she served my Cornish cream tea. When finished she said: "Oh, but you're American, you can just cut it in half and make a sandwich."
	🚂 12:53pm Carmichael: @Hubig, ya can't have good craic if others are having their own craic.
	🚂 12:56pm Carmichael: I went to see Fairport in Davis once, and had dinner and drinks across the street beforehand. They were all there, lined up at the bar. I laughed at the matter, and they waved me over to join them. Hilarity ensued.
	12:56pm Hubig Pie: Had to enter that one into the search tab, Carmichael
	🚂 12:57pm Handy Haversack: That's awesome, Carmichael.
	12:57pm David Dichelle: Carmichael: Do tell more!
	🚂 12:58pm David (in London): I'll bet a drink with Dave Pegg gets pretty riotous quite quickly.
	🚂 1:00pm Handy Haversack: The Dougie MacLean incident was also in a college town. Only so many places to go! And the brewpub where I worked had an Irish-ish trad session every week, so I guess it was a natural spot for the folk folx to bring him.
	🚂 1:01pm Carmichael: They were a jovial bunch, Simon Nicol, Chris French and Ric Sanders. Peggy wasn't there, so naturally they told lots of stories about him. They were surprised at how many times I have seen RT (about 20), and out came the stories about him. I told Nicol I own a copy of the Old Grey Whistle Test show with him playing with RT, and he replied, "So that's it, embarrass the band, eh?"
	1:04pm Webhamster Henry: Very Laurie Spiegel-y, this piece.
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Sounds like a great - and insightful - time, Carmichael!
	1:05pm David Dichelle: Hey there, WH!
	1:06pm David Dichelle: Phantom Horse is a German duo, in fact.
	🚂 1:09pm David (in London): I went up to take some photos of the Fairport house some years ago. It would be so great to own that house.
	1:12pm TDK60: Where is that, David?
	🚂 1:15pm David (in London): TDK. It's a quiet little area called Fortis Green, which is just next to Muswell Hill in the north. The Kinks were also from around there, so musically it has always punched well above its weight.
	1:18pm TDK60: Dug that Daniela Casa. / Ah David, I have the Kinks album, Muswell Hillbillies. And do you know why Fairport later chose Cropredy village for fests?
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Carmichael-as one who's seen RT as many times as you have, that story makes quite jealousi did get to interview RT with a friend who wrote for Guitar World at a festival in Spain, b something like Masters of Guitar. He was very nice to speak to (a much more formal situation than a meeting in a pub). I managed to put my foot in my mouth by asking him if he could play Rockin' in Rhythm solo (which he recorded on his Strict Tempo album, but with parts overdubbed, which I should have realized from listening to it). He was embarrassed, said it was overdubbed, and I realized I had erred. But he was gracious about it all.
	🚂 1:23pm David (in London): TDK, I just assumed that one, some or all them lived around there at some point.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Snow day, getting to listen to the show on my stereo, usually listen at the office on a desktop speaker. Very nice!
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Kronos-would never have guessed! Very cool!
	1:27pm kuba: hello fellow trainers, sounding good there dave!
	1:30pm northguineahills: I once broke into a demolition site of a building dating from the 19th c just to take some bricks to use later w/ mics in a concert later....
	🚂 1:31pm Brian in UK: Hello David & those with open ears. I believe travel is free after 11am everyday until the New Year.
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Hey there Kuba, NGH, and Brian!
	1:32pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Kuba, speaking of Berlin-based people!
	🚂 1:33pm Brian in UK: Mr Pegg does like a glass of red, well he does live in France.
	1:33pm kuba: happy to chime the berlin whistle!
	1:34pm Listener Robert: That memorial's telling me to "go ethe" thoveling the thnow, which is why I'm taking a break.
	1:36pm David Dichelle: Robert, you have broken the code - enjoy the break! Haven't seen real snow here in what feels like years.
	🚂 1:38pm Handy Haversack: NYC didn't have any real snow last year, David.
	🚂 1:39pm Brian in UK: Will continue listening in the kitchen, lots to do as our Christmas eve is tomorrow. I know it is early.
	1:39pm northguineahills: ah, a little of the Ludwig van. I would like to see a DNA analysis of his remains to see if he actually had Moorish ancestry, then Africa can claim him as one of their own (But he was German all the same)
	1:39pm Hubig Pie: Ludwig Von's b'day yesterday (or thereabouts)
	1:39pm northguineahills: ....but, does it really matter?
	1:40pm TDK60: Hi Brian, off to the kitchen.
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: Or his christening
	1:42pm David Dichelle: Yes, he was baptized 250 years ago today on December 17, 1770, so it is assumed he was born the day before.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: With some savvy marketing, I could see this Beethoven guy becoming very popular with the rekkid-buying public!
	🚂 1:47pm David (in London): Handy, yes, it has a good steady beat for ultraviolence.
	1:48pm northguineahills: I see we all went to the same reference.....
	🚂 1:48pm Handy Haversack: And all that cal.
	1:50pm Hubig Pie: Handy, he was marketed pretty heavily back in 1970. My Xmas was all Ludwig Von, - a small head bust, a new biography, and the 9 symphony box set. When was Clockwork Orange released?
	🚂 1:53pm Handy Haversack: December 1971 in NYC, Jan. and Feb. in the UK and the rest of the States, respectively.
	🚂 1:53pm David (in London): Following year, 1971. You were a trend-setter Hubig.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: Thought I was going to just veg and listen after my snow clearing, but have to go to Staten Island after all (MRI of back which I assumed was cancelled, but seems they're open and could take me). Catch you in the car, thanks, David!
	1:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Doctorjazz, drive safely through all that snow!
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: All my love of Sir Ludwig's music and my parents wouldn't take me to that movie. I had to wait 5 years and see it at the drive-in as a stoned teenager
	🚂 2:01pm Handy Haversack: And then wait another ten years for yet another great artist to point out the fundamental truth: Parents just don't understand.
	2:03pm David in London: Albania, Mauritius, practically the same place.
	🚂 2:03pm Bas NL: Albania! Interesting!
	2:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Is Albania the suburban area around Albany?
	🚂 2:04pm Handy Haversack: Albania! I think so often of the line in /So Long and Thanks for All the Fish/ about the steel-gray trucks driving around Europe with no markings other than ALBANIA. Which is closer, Malta or Lebanon?
	2:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Closer to what?
	2:05pm Sem: That was my guess last week, I think. Great travel book about Albania: The Accursed Mountains, Robert Carver. Recommended.
	2:06pm TDK60: I was closest with Malta?
	🚂 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Malta. TDK60 is closest!
	2:06pm David Dichelle: Handy: Good question, Malta I think.
	2:09pm David Dichelle: TDK60, yes!
	🚂 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Sem. Looks like maybe it wasn't published in the States? At any rate, used copies are cheaper to have shipped from the UK!
	2:09pm northguineahills: Finally got my unemployment approved. It only took 7 weeks... When will Pitcairn Island get its due? The Hoxha regime was weird. Malta is geographically closer
	2:09pm TDK60: Albanian isn't a Slavic language? But part of the Indo-European group?
	🚂 2:10pm βrian: TDK60 gets a basket of diereses.
	2:10pm David Dichelle: And well done, Sem - guessing a week off is hard enough!
	2:10pm northguineahills: correct, TDK!
	2:11pm David Dichelle: TDK60: Yes, exactly. It is sort of isolated as a separate Indo-European family, but has several distinct dialects.
	2:12pm David Dichelle: ßrian: No better prize!
	2:12pm TDK60: And isn't Greek like that? Distinct within the Indo-E.?
	2:13pm David Dichelle: Yes, Greek is as well. As is Armenian. Of course there may have been more distinct relatives in the past that disappeared with little trace.
	2:14pm David Dichelle: NGH: Glad it worked out at least, even if it took a long time.
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: ngh, will you get all the back-dated payments? Kate did once her claim was finally approved, which I think might have taken even longer.
	2:15pm TDK60: Yes NGH. Took me many months.
	🚂 2:17pm Brian in UK: It was almost impossible to get into Albania during Enver Hoxha's reign.
	🚂 2:17pm dutchtheo: Alo, David and travellers to Albania!
	2:18pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Dutchtheo!
	2:18pm TDK60: I know an Albanian street food vendor; he and his two Mexican co-cooks. I stop by for coffee (and to share insults about the leader).
	2:19pm Hubig Pie: They make a tasty sheep's milk feta in Albania but cuz of EU it's called white cheese
	2:20pm Webhamster Henry: A friend of mine went there in search of Albanian music and had a great time.
	2:22pm David Dichelle: Go for the music, stay for the cheese.
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: What a beautiful language and great songs!
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Glad you are enjoying them, Bas!
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: David, if you want to make Albanian cheese your 2021 premium, I'll go ahead and take mine now.
	🚂 2:30pm chresti: I love sheep's milk kefir.
	2:32pm David Dichelle: Handy: Maybe in a Woof-Moo form - heavy on the Moo?
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Or Woof-Baa, perhaps.
	🚂 2:35pm Handy Haversack: Milk from a Sheep Dog! WFMU Snacks and Tracks 2021!
	2:36pm David Dichelle: Now that would be something!
	2:37pm TDK60: Finally time to vegan? Hee.
	2:41pm David Dichelle: It could also work as a T-shirt, come to think of it.
	🚂 2:42pm Handy Haversack: I can see the T-shirt, definitely. I also can picyture an allusion to the gatefold of ZZ Top's Tres Hombres but with foods from all the Random Road regions. But that might be a little excessive. Even by my cheese standards, which start pretty excessive.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Finished the drive, some headphone listening while I wait...
	2:43pm Stanley: Last fifteen minutes? I'll take what I can on a day like today Hello Dvid, all.
	2:43pm Honeybear: Now this is a find - sounds like the albanian Gurdjieff
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Evening, Stanley!
	2:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:44pm David Dichelle: Doctorjazz: Glad you got through.
	2:44pm TDK60: Hey Stanley. / David is Albanian music isolate like the language or influences from Balkans? Turks? etc?
	2:44pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm ET- https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/99360
	2:45pm David Dichelle: TDK60: I think it is much more of a continuum musically.
	🚂 2:46pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Stanley! fred was looking for you yesterday for advice on what looked like a pretty great malt. Cambus Distillery. A "ghost malt."
	2:47pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. A country Christmas for you this year?
	2:50pm Phillippe Bastille: this is pretty
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: loverly. thank you.
	2:53pm David in London: What a great show today. Thanks David.
	🚂 2:53pm Bas NL: plop Wow. Again, great songs!
	2:53pm Stanley: Hi Sem. Yes, happily.
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David, loved the show!
	2:53pm TDK60: Danke, David. What a treat.
	🚂 2:53pm Handy Haversack: Dang it, my stop always comes too quickly. Have to gather up the paper and my hat and jump off in such a hurry every week. This was great, David! Thanks so much. Back for Snacks and Tracks next week!
	🚂 2:54pm dutchtheo: Thanks, David, great albanian set!
	🚂 2:54pm Handy Haversack: We should figure out a way to do an Indiania Jones-style travel map of the Random Road Regions.
	🚂 2:55pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:55pm Brian in UK: Thanks David. Whodathoughtit Albania in Eurodoublevision.
	2:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks David!
	🚂 2:55pm Bas NL: Disembarking toward the cold.. great ride David! Thanks!
	2:55pm Sem: Wonderful, good to hear, Stanley. Thank you for the musical ride today, David. Hope to be aboard next time, G'night, all.
	🚂 2:56pm Brian in UK: Bye bye, Sem.
	🚂 3:00pm Yvang: Thanks, David!
	3:01pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone!
	🚂 3:27pm Michael 98145: To the archives!
