	10:10pm Adamsworth: I'm in Philly!

	10:10pm Chris Wardell: East Lansing
	10:10pm gracegoldway: Would do anything to hear another full hour of dusty...

	♥ 10:12pm Hams: tuning in from kensington, brooklyn, just south of prospect park.
	♥ 10:13pm TDK60: choggie: I think Alice C. had /three/ main instruments: piano, organ, harp.
	♥ 10:13pm ParUbi: Pittsburgh
	10:15pm Adamsworth: I love Alice but I don't think I've heard this before, it is so good.
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: Oh yeah this album rules. Reissued in the last couple years...
	10:19pm Adamsworth: and the sick jams keep coming
	10:19pm fleep: The nonburning part of Los Angeles
	10:21pm Adamsworth: If you're ever stressed out, I recommend looking up Pharoah Sanders playing in an Abandoned Tunnel on youtube. It's calmed me down many times.
	10:22pm Carmichael: I like that you have a 3 hour show and you play like 5 songs.
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: It's a two hour show and I play like 7 songs. Thank you
	10:22pm Dean: chresti and Franco need to see the state Auditor's report on troubled cities. (As do I.) Not pretty. I've heard that Pharoah track. Pretty special.
	10:23pm Adamsworth: I want the 3 hour show to come back!
	10:24pm Dean: I'm not averse to a 1/2 hour show with 27 songs.
	10:24pm Adamsworth: Lonnie Liston Smith...pretty good at playing the piano if you ask me
	♥ 10:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): …oooh, yeahhh, hello Jeff and folx. It's been too long since i could float down the stream with you live…
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Plenty of programs out there playing 3 minute songs
	10:26pm mb: Hello to the People. DJ JC, a nod to you. Sounding great tonight in the North of Jersey.
	♥ 10:26pm chresti: Lots of vacant storefronts a high rents, around here. I love long songs...HI GRANNY
	10:27pm Yennifer: @adamsworth -- never seen that video, thanks for sharing
	♥ 10:28pm TDK60: I was there when they broke the song barrier. True story.
	10:28pm Adamsworth: @Yennifer, glad you liked it, but everyone else I recommend watching it AFTER Jeff's show! Ha ha
	10:29pm Chris Wardell: Next week, Jeff’s show will be three long Dark Star’s by the Dead. That would be awesome, actually.
	10:29pm Yennifer: ha ha, well I'm always stressed so I couldn't help myself
	10:30pm Adamsworth: @Yennifer ha ha fair enough
	10:34pm Carmichael: 2 hours, really? Did The Man take an hour from you?!
	10:34pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow avant-garde listeners Evening granny
	10:36pm wendy del formaggio: Greetings from Vermont.
	10:36pm Jeff Conklin: You Vermonters better be chooglin up to Burlington for Garcia Peoples and Matt Valentine in January....
	10:37pm gracegoldway: im so confused
	10:37pm Carmichael: Lead harp!
	♥ 10:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think it used to be three hours and then it became two after daylight saving time ended.
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: Totally, except the drive from where I am to Burlington can be treacherous in the winter. Still, it’s on my radar. Why they aren’t playing The Root Cellar or The Stone Church confounds me.
	10:39pm mb: "Alice Coltrane (who adds atmosphere with her harp)" Allmusic reviewer I think "shredding" is the correct term here.
	10:39pm Dreamflower127: @Jeff This Vermonter is planning on it...got tickets for the New Haven show too, I'll be down south for the holiday ;)
	10:40pm choggie: thanks Jeff, Texas here too near Houston
	10:40pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy, Stone Church in Brattleboro?
	10:41pm Marie: Hey, digging the show.
	10:41pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: You might see me at the New Haven show. Seriously considering it. I can probably take the Amtrak there, which is a big bonus.
	10:42pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: Yup! Have you been there? I like that venue a lot.
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: Do New Haven and Burlington! (I know about the winter in the north country but thjeres A LOT of plows up there;)
	10:42pm Adamsworth: hell yeah
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: @Marie: Thanks! First time?
	10:43pm Carmichael: This band sounds so familiar ...
	10:43pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: plows a-plenty, indeed. But 89 over Randolph can be rough. It seems to have its own microclimate.
	10:44pm John from Florham park: @Jeff Conklin love a lot of the music you play
	10:44pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy haven't gotten there yet, wanted to catch JGB experience last weekend but couldn't. I'm up in Wilmington. Heard Deadgrass is somewhere this week too?
	10:44pm Jeff Conklin: @JohnfromFP: I assume if yr listening ;)
	10:45pm John from Florham park: @Wendy how are things in the green mountain state
	10:46pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: We’re practically neighbors. I’m in West B. I can see 9 from my house.
	10:46pm Adamsworth: I forgot how great this version is. Great job Jeff!
	10:46pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Got my Garcia Peoples tix last week.
	10:46pm Marie: Hey Jeff, I think I have heard bits and pieces of your show here and there (I'm a long-time FMU lover)... Just happened to to tune in and your tunes just seem perfect for this chilly November night. And what a nice mix--this Dead song was like perfect in this set yet not something one would logically say might fit in so well (in my very humble opinion). Ah, lots of words...
	10:46pm John from Florham park: @@Jeff listen to you in bits and pieces, giving the last 45 minutes a listen an so far I like it
	10:46pm wendy del formaggio: @John from FP: Cold. Snow in the forecast tonight.
	10:47pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Wendy I might have a couch you can crash on.
	10:47pm Jeff Conklin: @Marie: Cool. My whole thing is about putting the Dead in a non-shitty jamband context.
	10:47pm Jeff Conklin: Where in VT are you Dave?
	10:48pm Marie: Oh, wow, yes, then I have definitely heard you before and I love what you do :>)
	10:48pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave in VT: Thank you! That’s sweet. Are you in Burl?
	10:48pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Burlington
	10:48pm John from Florham park: @Wendy cold here too might get some snow on Tuesday hope it is not too much
	♥ 10:48pm ParUbi: I have a lot of internal resistance to overcome with the Dead
	10:49pm sadiwn: what a show so far Jeff, thank you as always... p.s tuning in from Lancaster, PA.
	10:49pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Also know a couple of cheese people who will be going. Sure you all would love to meet each other.
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: I’m gonna try and make that Burlington show myself
	10:49pm Adamsworth: @parubi does this sound cool to you though?
	10:50pm John from Florham park: @Parubi digging this music too?
	10:50pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy I'm there a bunch, love the Chelsea Royal when I can get there... @Dave, how many couches do you have available?! ;)
	10:50pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Well there’s possibly floor space. Need to check in with the other folks who live here.
	10:50pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: your statement about “putting the Dead in a non-shitty jamband context” is a big reason why I love your show.
	10:50pm Marie: I think the Dead are not taken seriously by a lot of people--they're written off as hippy jam band. The thing is, some of their music and jams are amazing and beautiful, wonderful musically.
	10:51pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: cool! Cheesemakers or -mongers?
	10:51pm nardo: saw a tweet from jarnow referring to live/dead being 50 years old today.
	10:51pm Marie: But, sure, I'm preaching to the choir
	10:52pm Dreamflower127: @Dave I am a new Vermonter, who are the Cheese people & where can I find them
	10:52pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: @Wendy one of each.
	10:52pm John from Florham park: @Maria they had a lot of die hard fans plus they were great players
	10:52pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: hell yeah! I am at the Chelsea multiple times a week. Will be there tmrw for dinner with my mom. She’s driving up from Jersey.
	10:53pm mb: This Grateful Dead tune sounds alot like The Grateful Dead which is a cover band i've been told. My friend went with his dad to see them in Chicago in '15??
	♥ 10:53pm ParUbi: Weirdly, they're reminding me of Television
	10:54pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: I will try to be on the comments board in weeks to come with my actual log in on my computer so people can touch base about the Garcia Peoples show in January b
	10:54pm Marie: @JFP--mm hm
	10:54pm Dean: I think the key to getting over the internal resistance is to stand back and recognize, among other things, Jerry's musicianship. He was a solid rock guitarist.
	10:54pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: Jasper Hill? Shelburne?
	10:55pm Jeff Conklin: Look at that, I accidentally played this on its birthday....
	10:55pm John from Florham park: @Dean always felt that they were not the atoners everyone made them out to be
	10:55pm Jeff Conklin: The key to getting over a fear of the Dead is ignoring people who only listen to the Dead....and Instagram...
	10:56pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: One of they lead cheese makers at Shelburne Farms and the cheese buyer at south end City Market
	10:58pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: That’s some cheese cred! I am a retired monger so I’m outta the loop. But, as Thanksgiving approaches (the official start of Cheese Madness), I instinctively reach for my apron and knife. At least in my mind. :-)
	10:59pm Dean: My education was twofold: first, I heard Workingman's Dead when it came out, and second, I listened regularly to KPFK's Thursday Lunch program. Early on I realized that Jerry was beyond talented. Later, I got the vibe, the flow, the groove, the marvelously, even if also spontaneously coordinated ensemble that they achieve.
	♥ 11:00pm ParUbi: They do sound like they're having a good time.
	11:00pm wendy del formaggio: Okay, I’m signing off. Nice chatting with y’all. Take good care, everyone.
	11:00pm John from Florham park: @Jeff never use instagram
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: But the show isnt over, Wendy
	11:01pm John from Florham park: Night Wendy sweet dreams
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: @John: Too late
	11:02pm Marie: That jam was like ecstatic
	11:02pm Adamsworth: Wendy, there are sure to be great conversations about 80s Dead & Donna! ha ha jk.
	11:02pm John from Florham park: @Jeff why is it too lat
	11:02pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: I’m just signing off the playlist. I’m still here. I’ll just be invisible.
	11:03pm Marie: Does anyone know what kind of cheeses the Dead liked? :>)
	♥ 11:03pm opurt: Joining in from the west coast. Thrilled to finally be able to catch part of the "new" show live!
	♥ 11:03pm I am the Upsetter: Fantastic set. Didn't know I needed that.
	11:04pm John from Florham park: @Marie nope
	11:04pm Aimee: I was! <3
	11:05pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Head Cheese
	11:05pm Marie: Book idea?: cheeses of the rock and roll elite.....
	♥ 11:05pm I am the Upsetter: Live / Dead made me a super fan too.
	11:06pm nardo: @jeff well assumed it was in your master plan to play that dead track. that was also the lp that got me listening to the dead more. loved the jazz set this evening too. was just listening to some muhal richards abrams earlier.
	11:06pm John from Florham park: @Jeff was it true that the dead would let people tape their shows
	11:07pm Adamsworth: I had listened to Live/Dead a lot but haven't in like nearly a decade since you could just listen to archives.org stuff!
	11:08pm Marie: Better title--Rock and Roll Cheese ;.0
	11:08pm Dreamflower127: @John it is true. One of the first/only bands that had a separate section for tapers, and a huge part of the reason we have so many shows available today.
	11:09pm John from Florham park: Dreamflower127 thanks
	11:10pm pp: @ParUbi : yes, I heard the Television comparisons long ago, and detect it during the snaky runs. Garcia = Verlaine
	11:12pm Dean: Must disagree. Garcia owns the guitar. Verlaine masterfully controls it. Huge difference.
	11:12pm Dreamflower127: @John you're welcome, if you're ever curious, Archive.org has lots of shows for the listening
	11:13pm Adamsworth: I thought Party of the Sun had James Toth singing at first! Which is a good thing of course.
	11:13pm John from Florham park: @dreamflower127 thanks will book mark that,
	11:14pm Yennifer: @Dean -- well said
	♥ 11:15pm Jinx: this is a nice cover.
	11:15pm Dean: Thanks, Yennifer.
	11:15pm John from Florham park: Love this cover of a stones song
	11:16pm Adamsworth: To me, Verlaine sounds like cool architecture, but Garcia sounds like a river?
	11:16pm pp: probably, but where do you find lyrics like "Hey man let's dress up like cops, Think of what we could do! "
	11:16pm Adamsworth: or water in general, depending on the song. Lake, ocean waves, a stream, a creek. Usually water though.
	11:18pm Adamsworth: how about lyrics likeI sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky, I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me."
	♥ 11:18pm ParUbi: just relating what emerged from my first serious listening to the Dead in 20 years. Verlaine. Maybe I'm bonkers.
	11:18pm Dean: "Cool architecture" works for me! A great epithet. For me, Garcia is a guitarist, Segovia-like. He touches the instrument and generates very bold ideas.
	11:19pm Adamsworth: @ParUbi, no that's a good comparison actually
	11:21pm John from Florham park: On nights like this it is nice to be among chatters who know their music and just soaking up all that knowledge
	11:21pm Adamsworth: whoa this Morrison Kincannon song is incredible too!
	11:22pm pp: somebody once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture
	11:23pm Adamsworth: dancing about architecture sounds cool too though
	♥ 11:24pm ParUbi: Yes, I think it would be a good thing if more people danced about architecture
	11:25pm Marie: Hey, great show. Thanks and gnite
	11:25pm pp: Turns out Martin Mull is credited with that arch/music analogy
	11:25pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Marie, take care.
	11:26pm John from Florham park: @Naria sweet dreams
	11:26pm mb: @pp: I always thought that was a Zappa quote
	11:26pm yes: Hello from 95 south
	11:27pm John from Florham park: I meant Marie sorry
	11:27pm pp: I went to quoteinvestigator.com to get the full story
	11:27pm Adamsworth: Zappa's music criticism quote is like "people who can't write writing for people who can't read about people who can't play" or something
	11:29pm John from Florham park: @Adansworth wonder how sappy would feel about this station
	11:29pm John from Florham park: I mean adamsworth my bad
	11:30pm Adamsworth: HOW DARE YOU! ha ha,
	11:31pm Adamsworth: or wait, who is Sappy?
	11:31pm John from Florham park: @Adamsworth I meant Zappa I must be tired
	11:31pm Adamsworth: Ah, it's cool, I am very sleepy as well.
	11:32pm John from Florham park: Going to bed as soon as this show is over
	11:36pm Adamsworth: Oh yeah, @Jeff a week or two back you played a Will Oldham song (with Joan Shelley maybe?) and I was curious what your feelings on him are...I don't think you've played him on your show before.
	11:37pm Jeff Conklin: I like a bunch of his songs. I think this new one is my favorite. Also love the record with Matt Sweeney
	11:38pm Adamsworth: Oh yeah, when that Superwolf album came out I wasn't that into it, but it's now one of my all time faves of his too.
	11:38pm mb: @pp: Thanks! Cool website
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: Just in case i never made it clear: This program does not represent all my listening habits. :)
	11:39pm yes: I love “in good faith “ which also features Joan Shelley
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: Just 90 percent
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: yeah thats the song i played.
	♥ 11:46pm opurt: I thought your "listening habits" were Wet Tuna and Garcia Peoples. If you have other recommendations, I am all ears. Related note - had the pleasure of seeing Will Oldham. Meg Braid and/with Heron Oblivion a few years ago in Big Sur. Heaven....
	11:46pm Aimee: Lake Mary just played a show somewhere in Missouri and I was bummed to have missed it.
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WFMU ! ...making insomnia worth it for untold years...
	11:47pm Aimee: This is beautiful.
	11:48pm Jeff Conklin: I set up a show for Lake Mary in Brooklyn a few years back with Bridget St John. Was an amazing night.
	11:49pm Aimee: Oo! Love that woman. Well done.
	11:51pm Dean: I remember hearing a guy at a guitar store, The Fret House, in Covina, way, way back in the late '80s, early '90s, a Kottke acolyte. Wish I could remember who it was...
	11:55pm Dean: Oh, crap, I can't imagine narrowing down to my favorite modern New Hampshire folk rock group? I mean, where to begin?
	♥ 11:56pm opurt: Jeff, no offense meant. Guess I should had made it clear that I did not know that this show did not represent your listening habits (which I assumed that it did). Regardless, great show tonight.
	11:58pm yes: Thanks for the butt kick , Jeff. Later gators
	♥ 11:58pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, Jeff! Thanks for turning me on to Morrison Kincannon. Good stuff. Just grabbed a copy & going to check it out shortly.
	11:59pm Jeff Conklin: @opurt: Even if it did, do I only play those two bands?
	11:59pm mb: Thanks DJ JC. @opurt: You must chip in for another pumpkin emoji to atone your sins.
	♥ 12:00am opurt: Not even close. Those are just 2 bands that you have introduced to many others.
	12:00am Aimee: Thank you, Jeff! Arkansas is out. I look forward to the next one.

	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: Oh yeah this album rules. Reissued in the last couple years...
	10:19pm Adamsworth: and the sick jams keep coming
	10:19pm fleep: The nonburning part of Los Angeles
	10:21pm Adamsworth: If you're ever stressed out, I recommend looking up Pharoah Sanders playing in an Abandoned Tunnel on youtube. It's calmed me down many times.
	10:22pm Carmichael: I like that you have a 3 hour show and you play like 5 songs.
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: It's a two hour show and I play like 7 songs. Thank you
	10:22pm Dean: chresti and Franco need to see the state Auditor's report on troubled cities. (As do I.) Not pretty. I've heard that Pharoah track. Pretty special.
	10:23pm Adamsworth: I want the 3 hour show to come back!
	10:24pm Dean: I'm not averse to a 1/2 hour show with 27 songs.
	10:24pm Adamsworth: Lonnie Liston Smith...pretty good at playing the piano if you ask me
	♥ 10:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): …oooh, yeahhh, hello Jeff and folx. It's been too long since i could float down the stream with you live…
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Plenty of programs out there playing 3 minute songs
	10:26pm mb: Hello to the People. DJ JC, a nod to you. Sounding great tonight in the North of Jersey.
	♥ 10:26pm chresti: Lots of vacant storefronts a high rents, around here. I love long songs...HI GRANNY
	10:27pm Yennifer: @adamsworth -- never seen that video, thanks for sharing
	♥ 10:28pm TDK60: I was there when they broke the song barrier. True story.
	10:28pm Adamsworth: @Yennifer, glad you liked it, but everyone else I recommend watching it AFTER Jeff's show! Ha ha
	10:29pm Chris Wardell: Next week, Jeff’s show will be three long Dark Star’s by the Dead. That would be awesome, actually.
	10:29pm Yennifer: ha ha, well I'm always stressed so I couldn't help myself
	10:30pm Adamsworth: @Yennifer ha ha fair enough
	10:34pm Carmichael: 2 hours, really? Did The Man take an hour from you?!
	10:34pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow avant-garde listeners Evening granny
	10:36pm wendy del formaggio: Greetings from Vermont.
	10:36pm Jeff Conklin: You Vermonters better be chooglin up to Burlington for Garcia Peoples and Matt Valentine in January....
	10:37pm gracegoldway: im so confused
	10:37pm Carmichael: Lead harp!
	♥ 10:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think it used to be three hours and then it became two after daylight saving time ended.
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: Totally, except the drive from where I am to Burlington can be treacherous in the winter. Still, it’s on my radar. Why they aren’t playing The Root Cellar or The Stone Church confounds me.
	10:39pm mb: "Alice Coltrane (who adds atmosphere with her harp)" Allmusic reviewer I think "shredding" is the correct term here.
	10:39pm Dreamflower127: @Jeff This Vermonter is planning on it...got tickets for the New Haven show too, I'll be down south for the holiday ;)
	10:40pm choggie: thanks Jeff, Texas here too near Houston
	10:40pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy, Stone Church in Brattleboro?
	10:41pm Marie: Hey, digging the show.
	10:41pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: You might see me at the New Haven show. Seriously considering it. I can probably take the Amtrak there, which is a big bonus.
	10:42pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: Yup! Have you been there? I like that venue a lot.
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: Do New Haven and Burlington! (I know about the winter in the north country but thjeres A LOT of plows up there;)
	10:42pm Adamsworth: hell yeah
	10:42pm Jeff Conklin: @Marie: Thanks! First time?
	10:43pm Carmichael: This band sounds so familiar ...
	10:43pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: plows a-plenty, indeed. But 89 over Randolph can be rough. It seems to have its own microclimate.
	10:44pm John from Florham park: @Jeff Conklin love a lot of the music you play
	10:44pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy haven't gotten there yet, wanted to catch JGB experience last weekend but couldn't. I'm up in Wilmington. Heard Deadgrass is somewhere this week too?
	10:44pm Jeff Conklin: @JohnfromFP: I assume if yr listening ;)
	10:45pm John from Florham park: @Wendy how are things in the green mountain state
	10:46pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: We’re practically neighbors. I’m in West B. I can see 9 from my house.
	10:46pm Adamsworth: I forgot how great this version is. Great job Jeff!
	10:46pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Got my Garcia Peoples tix last week.
	10:46pm Marie: Hey Jeff, I think I have heard bits and pieces of your show here and there (I'm a long-time FMU lover)... Just happened to to tune in and your tunes just seem perfect for this chilly November night. And what a nice mix--this Dead song was like perfect in this set yet not something one would logically say might fit in so well (in my very humble opinion). Ah, lots of words...
	10:46pm John from Florham park: @@Jeff listen to you in bits and pieces, giving the last 45 minutes a listen an so far I like it
	10:46pm wendy del formaggio: @John from FP: Cold. Snow in the forecast tonight.
	10:47pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Wendy I might have a couch you can crash on.
	10:47pm Jeff Conklin: @Marie: Cool. My whole thing is about putting the Dead in a non-shitty jamband context.
	10:47pm Jeff Conklin: Where in VT are you Dave?
	10:48pm Marie: Oh, wow, yes, then I have definitely heard you before and I love what you do :>)
	10:48pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave in VT: Thank you! That’s sweet. Are you in Burl?
	10:48pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Burlington
	10:48pm John from Florham park: @Wendy cold here too might get some snow on Tuesday hope it is not too much
	♥ 10:48pm ParUbi: I have a lot of internal resistance to overcome with the Dead
	10:49pm sadiwn: what a show so far Jeff, thank you as always... p.s tuning in from Lancaster, PA.
	10:49pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Also know a couple of cheese people who will be going. Sure you all would love to meet each other.
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: I’m gonna try and make that Burlington show myself
	10:49pm Adamsworth: @parubi does this sound cool to you though?
	10:50pm John from Florham park: @Parubi digging this music too?
	10:50pm Dreamflower127: @Wendy I'm there a bunch, love the Chelsea Royal when I can get there... @Dave, how many couches do you have available?! ;)
	10:50pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Well there’s possibly floor space. Need to check in with the other folks who live here.
	10:50pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: your statement about “putting the Dead in a non-shitty jamband context” is a big reason why I love your show.
	10:50pm Marie: I think the Dead are not taken seriously by a lot of people--they're written off as hippy jam band. The thing is, some of their music and jams are amazing and beautiful, wonderful musically.
	10:51pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: cool! Cheesemakers or -mongers?
	10:51pm nardo: saw a tweet from jarnow referring to live/dead being 50 years old today.
	10:51pm Marie: But, sure, I'm preaching to the choir
	10:52pm Dreamflower127: @Dave I am a new Vermonter, who are the Cheese people & where can I find them
	10:52pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: @Wendy one of each.
	10:52pm John from Florham park: @Maria they had a lot of die hard fans plus they were great players
	10:52pm wendy del formaggio: @Dreamflower: hell yeah! I am at the Chelsea multiple times a week. Will be there tmrw for dinner with my mom. She’s driving up from Jersey.
	10:53pm mb: This Grateful Dead tune sounds alot like The Grateful Dead which is a cover band i've been told. My friend went with his dad to see them in Chicago in '15??
	♥ 10:53pm ParUbi: Weirdly, they're reminding me of Television
	10:54pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: I will try to be on the comments board in weeks to come with my actual log in on my computer so people can touch base about the Garcia Peoples show in January b
	10:54pm Marie: @JFP--mm hm
	10:54pm Dean: I think the key to getting over the internal resistance is to stand back and recognize, among other things, Jerry's musicianship. He was a solid rock guitarist.
	10:54pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: Jasper Hill? Shelburne?
	10:55pm Jeff Conklin: Look at that, I accidentally played this on its birthday....
	10:55pm John from Florham park: @Dean always felt that they were not the atoners everyone made them out to be
	10:55pm Jeff Conklin: The key to getting over a fear of the Dead is ignoring people who only listen to the Dead....and Instagram...
	10:56pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: One of they lead cheese makers at Shelburne Farms and the cheese buyer at south end City Market
	10:58pm wendy del formaggio: @Dave: That’s some cheese cred! I am a retired monger so I’m outta the loop. But, as Thanksgiving approaches (the official start of Cheese Madness), I instinctively reach for my apron and knife. At least in my mind. :-)
	10:59pm Dean: My education was twofold: first, I heard Workingman's Dead when it came out, and second, I listened regularly to KPFK's Thursday Lunch program. Early on I realized that Jerry was beyond talented. Later, I got the vibe, the flow, the groove, the marvelously, even if also spontaneously coordinated ensemble that they achieve.
	♥ 11:00pm ParUbi: They do sound like they're having a good time.
	11:00pm wendy del formaggio: Okay, I’m signing off. Nice chatting with y’all. Take good care, everyone.
	11:00pm John from Florham park: @Jeff never use instagram
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: But the show isnt over, Wendy
	11:01pm John from Florham park: Night Wendy sweet dreams
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: @John: Too late
	11:02pm Marie: That jam was like ecstatic
	11:02pm Adamsworth: Wendy, there are sure to be great conversations about 80s Dead & Donna! ha ha jk.
	11:02pm John from Florham park: @Jeff why is it too lat
	11:02pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff: I’m just signing off the playlist. I’m still here. I’ll just be invisible.
	11:03pm Marie: Does anyone know what kind of cheeses the Dead liked? :>)
	♥ 11:03pm opurt: Joining in from the west coast. Thrilled to finally be able to catch part of the "new" show live!
	♥ 11:03pm I am the Upsetter: Fantastic set. Didn't know I needed that.
	11:04pm John from Florham park: @Marie nope
	11:04pm Aimee: I was! <3
	11:05pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Head Cheese
	11:05pm Marie: Book idea?: cheeses of the rock and roll elite.....
	♥ 11:05pm I am the Upsetter: Live / Dead made me a super fan too.
	11:06pm nardo: @jeff well assumed it was in your master plan to play that dead track. that was also the lp that got me listening to the dead more. loved the jazz set this evening too. was just listening to some muhal richards abrams earlier.
	11:06pm John from Florham park: @Jeff was it true that the dead would let people tape their shows
	11:07pm Adamsworth: I had listened to Live/Dead a lot but haven't in like nearly a decade since you could just listen to archives.org stuff!
	11:08pm Marie: Better title--Rock and Roll Cheese ;.0
	11:08pm Dreamflower127: @John it is true. One of the first/only bands that had a separate section for tapers, and a huge part of the reason we have so many shows available today.
	11:09pm John from Florham park: Dreamflower127 thanks
	11:10pm pp: @ParUbi : yes, I heard the Television comparisons long ago, and detect it during the snaky runs. Garcia = Verlaine
	11:12pm Dean: Must disagree. Garcia owns the guitar. Verlaine masterfully controls it. Huge difference.
	11:12pm Dreamflower127: @John you're welcome, if you're ever curious, Archive.org has lots of shows for the listening
	11:13pm Adamsworth: I thought Party of the Sun had James Toth singing at first! Which is a good thing of course.
	11:13pm John from Florham park: @dreamflower127 thanks will book mark that,
	11:14pm Yennifer: @Dean -- well said
	♥ 11:15pm Jinx: this is a nice cover.
	11:15pm Dean: Thanks, Yennifer.
	11:15pm John from Florham park: Love this cover of a stones song
	11:16pm Adamsworth: To me, Verlaine sounds like cool architecture, but Garcia sounds like a river?
	11:16pm pp: probably, but where do you find lyrics like "Hey man let's dress up like cops, Think of what we could do! "
	11:16pm Adamsworth: or water in general, depending on the song. Lake, ocean waves, a stream, a creek. Usually water though.
	11:18pm Adamsworth: how about lyrics likeI sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky, I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me. Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me."
	♥ 11:18pm ParUbi: just relating what emerged from my first serious listening to the Dead in 20 years. Verlaine. Maybe I'm bonkers.
	11:18pm Dean: "Cool architecture" works for me! A great epithet. For me, Garcia is a guitarist, Segovia-like. He touches the instrument and generates very bold ideas.
	11:19pm Adamsworth: @ParUbi, no that's a good comparison actually
	11:21pm John from Florham park: On nights like this it is nice to be among chatters who know their music and just soaking up all that knowledge
	11:21pm Adamsworth: whoa this Morrison Kincannon song is incredible too!
	11:22pm pp: somebody once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture
	11:23pm Adamsworth: dancing about architecture sounds cool too though
	♥ 11:24pm ParUbi: Yes, I think it would be a good thing if more people danced about architecture
	11:25pm Marie: Hey, great show. Thanks and gnite
	11:25pm pp: Turns out Martin Mull is credited with that arch/music analogy
	11:25pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Marie, take care.
	11:26pm John from Florham park: @Naria sweet dreams
	11:26pm mb: @pp: I always thought that was a Zappa quote
	11:26pm yes: Hello from 95 south
	11:27pm John from Florham park: I meant Marie sorry
	11:27pm pp: I went to quoteinvestigator.com to get the full story
	11:27pm Adamsworth: Zappa's music criticism quote is like "people who can't write writing for people who can't read about people who can't play" or something
	11:29pm John from Florham park: @Adansworth wonder how sappy would feel about this station
	11:29pm John from Florham park: I mean adamsworth my bad
	11:30pm Adamsworth: HOW DARE YOU! ha ha,
	11:31pm Adamsworth: or wait, who is Sappy?
	11:31pm John from Florham park: @Adamsworth I meant Zappa I must be tired
	11:31pm Adamsworth: Ah, it's cool, I am very sleepy as well.
	11:32pm John from Florham park: Going to bed as soon as this show is over
	11:36pm Adamsworth: Oh yeah, @Jeff a week or two back you played a Will Oldham song (with Joan Shelley maybe?) and I was curious what your feelings on him are...I don't think you've played him on your show before.
	11:37pm Jeff Conklin: I like a bunch of his songs. I think this new one is my favorite. Also love the record with Matt Sweeney
	11:38pm Adamsworth: Oh yeah, when that Superwolf album came out I wasn't that into it, but it's now one of my all time faves of his too.
	11:38pm mb: @pp: Thanks! Cool website
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: Just in case i never made it clear: This program does not represent all my listening habits. :)
	11:39pm yes: I love “in good faith “ which also features Joan Shelley
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: Just 90 percent
	11:39pm Jeff Conklin: yeah thats the song i played.
	♥ 11:46pm opurt: I thought your "listening habits" were Wet Tuna and Garcia Peoples. If you have other recommendations, I am all ears. Related note - had the pleasure of seeing Will Oldham. Meg Braid and/with Heron Oblivion a few years ago in Big Sur. Heaven....
	11:46pm Aimee: Lake Mary just played a show somewhere in Missouri and I was bummed to have missed it.
	11:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WFMU ! ...making insomnia worth it for untold years...
	11:47pm Aimee: This is beautiful.
	11:48pm Jeff Conklin: I set up a show for Lake Mary in Brooklyn a few years back with Bridget St John. Was an amazing night.
	11:49pm Aimee: Oo! Love that woman. Well done.
	11:51pm Dean: I remember hearing a guy at a guitar store, The Fret House, in Covina, way, way back in the late '80s, early '90s, a Kottke acolyte. Wish I could remember who it was...
	11:55pm Dean: Oh, crap, I can't imagine narrowing down to my favorite modern New Hampshire folk rock group? I mean, where to begin?
	♥ 11:56pm opurt: Jeff, no offense meant. Guess I should had made it clear that I did not know that this show did not represent your listening habits (which I assumed that it did). Regardless, great show tonight.
	11:58pm yes: Thanks for the butt kick , Jeff. Later gators
	♥ 11:58pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, Jeff! Thanks for turning me on to Morrison Kincannon. Good stuff. Just grabbed a copy & going to check it out shortly.
	11:59pm Jeff Conklin: @opurt: Even if it did, do I only play those two bands?
	11:59pm mb: Thanks DJ JC. @opurt: You must chip in for another pumpkin emoji to atone your sins.
	♥ 12:00am opurt: Not even close. Those are just 2 bands that you have introduced to many others.
	12:00am Aimee: Thank you, Jeff! Arkansas is out. I look forward to the next one.
