	♥ 3:11pm David Dichelle: And greetings Bas!
	🚂 ♥ 3:13pm Michael 98145: lotsa francophoning here today
	♥ 3:15pm David Dichelle: Yes, a few Francophone numbers.
	🚂 ♥ 3:18pm Michael 98145: nice
	🚂 ♥ 3:21pm Brian in UK: Hello David and distance observers.
	🚂 ♥ 3:22pm Brian in UK: David, do you hear much Danish music, cannot recall much.
	♥ 3:23pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Brian, that last one was Danish in fact.
	🚂 ♥ 3:24pm Sem: Good evening, David, and all aboard. Is this train bound for glory? Asking for a friend.
	🚂 ♥ 3:24pm Brian in UK: How odd.
	♥ 3:25pm David Dichelle: Sem, one just never knows!
	🚂 ♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145: Italian?
	🚂 ♥ 3:25pm Sem: Magical Mystery is right up my alley, thank you.
	♥ 3:25pm David Dichelle: Correct, Michael.
	🚂 ♥ 3:25pm Brian in UK: Hey Sem, guess that Bob Dylan autograph you asked for was for your nephew!!
	🚂 ♥ 3:26pm Bas NL: These are all fantastic tracks!
	♥ 3:26pm David Dichelle: Sem, don't tempt me to roll up.
	♥ 3:26pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Bas!
	🚂 ♥ 3:29pm WR: Anybody has got to love music by 3 Mustaphas 3! Hi all.
	♥ 3:29pm David Dichelle: Hey WR!
	🚂 ♥ 3:30pm Sem: Hello, Brian. Yes, how perceptive. I have been, if you don't mind hearing, to Glory, and back. The mussels were grit-less, and all the children above average.
	🚂 ♥ 3:30pm Bas NL: Neighbors start hitting walls on the beat
	♥ 3:31pm David Dichelle: Bas, that's how it's done!
	🚂 ♥ 3:32pm Michael 98145: Yes - good to hear 3 M 3 again!
	🚂 ♥ 3:35pm Carmichael: Heya David and Continentals. That looks like a "square" of water. Does it go anywhere?
	🚂 ♥ 3:38pm Michael 98145: irrigation or flood control?
	🚂 ♥ 3:39pm Bas NL: Disclaimer: Gruesome music ahead.
	🚂 ♥ 3:39pm Brian in UK: David, apologies for this but this photograph is weir'der than two weeks ago.
	🚂 ♥ 3:41pm Michael 98145: :)
	🚂 ♥ 3:41pm Carmichael: Thank you for apologizing in advance.
	🚂 ♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Carmichael, how's tricks?
	♥ 3:44pm David Dichelle: Hey Carmichael, it is in fact part of the river system with all of its weir'dness.
	♥ 3:44pm David Dichelle: Flood control and leveling, I think, although I'm no expert.
	🚂 ♥ 3:48pm Carmichael: @Brian, the neighbor's dog passed away at about the same time as Spencer. They just yesterday rescued a new one, a shepherd/corgi mix.
	🚂 ♥ 3:50pm Bas NL: Looks like a V-notch weir used for controlling water levels (before the weir). In the past i have constructed instrumentation for measuring water levels on weirs like that.
	🚂 ♥ 3:52pm WR: Having wolfed down some pasta, I relax a bit and contemplate the photo. Very interesting. I'll later look at it on a computer. In the USA most water control is done by concrete. Interesting to see what has been done by brick and stone.
	♥ 3:53pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Bas, good to in fact have a real expert here. We have a variety of constructs like that here, although I suppose they all serve similar purposes.
	♥ 3:55pm David Dichelle: The light was actually quite beautiful, not sure if it really comes across in the picture.
	🚂 ♥ 3:56pm WR: OMG, you played a tune sung by Hermes Nye! I met him. A Dallas Texas lawyer who was an active amateur folklorist . I should look up what is on the web about him.
	♥ 3:58pm David Dichelle: WR: Nice, was it at a concert? And yes, that's about everything I know about him, too. This was a Smithsonian Folkways release.
	🚂 ♥ 4:02pm Brian in UK: David, thanks for your diligence withe the Rouds. Looks like the ultra violet light was strong in the photograph. Bas, much respect.
	♥ 4:04pm David Dichelle: My pleasure, Brian, only 25,000+ to go.
	🚂 ♥ 4:06pm Brian in UK: Man, we have some precipitation here. Much needed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:07pm Sem: BiUK: only now, finally, sun w/ heat. First 2 ripe strawberries from the garden, they've all been green for 2 weeks. I did not know about Spencer.
	🚂 ♥ 4:08pm Stanley: Good evening David and riders of the subway. Aw, Brian, has Spencer departed?
	🚂 ♥ 4:09pm Sem: Iron Uncle Michael.
	🚂 ♥ 4:10pm Listening Out There: Sounds like Hinky Disco Time is coming up...
	🚂 ♥ 4:10pm Brian in UK: NO, Carmichael's dog was called Spencer too.
	🚂 ♥ 4:11pm Stanley: Crikey. What a coincidence. Sorry to hear about Spencer, Carmichael
	🚂 ♥ 4:12pm Bas NL: Oww, i got that LP by Alpha Blondy. Love it!
	🚂 ♥ 4:13pm Bas NL: Especially this track.
	🚂 ♥ 4:13pm Sem: Phew, thank for the clarification. What Stanley said, Carmichael. Hurts, I know.
	♥ 4:13pm David Dichelle: Oh sorry to hear that Carmichael.
	🚂 ♥ 4:14pm Stanley: I had the pleasure of seeing Alpha Blondy in Switzerland in the eighties. Great reggae band from Africa.
	♥ 4:14pm David Dichelle: Bas, yes another old favorite album of mine as well, playing a lot of my old cassette-era music today, it seems.
	♥ 4:15pm David Dichelle: Good greetings Stanley and LOT!
	🚂 ♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: David, are these times for digging out records etc and having a good listen? Can anyone recommend a good starting record for Alpha Blondy.
	🚂 ♥ 4:18pm WR: My Hermes Nye meeting was a lunch meeting at a chain diner. I worked at a community arts organization and when he donated I recognized the name and we talked a bit. He invited me to lunch.
	♥ 4:19pm David Dichelle: Brian: Sure the earlier ones in particular, Jah Glory, Apartheid is Naziism, Cocody Rock. Jerusalem.
	🚂 ♥ 4:21pm Bas NL: I must say Cocody Rock, his second, was a bit disappointing after Jah Glory. I didn't really follow Alpha Blondy after that, i'm afraid.
	🚂 ♥ 4:22pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	🚂 ♥ 4:22pm WR: I was hoping Mr. Nye would be a source for folkloric recordings beyond what was released by Folkways. He was interested to interview me because I had lived in Houston before moving to Dallas. He was researching "surfer English". A pleasant encounter but neither of us got what we were looking for.
	♥ 4:23pm David Dichelle: Hey Chresti!
	4:23pm Mark R: Hey you said you had some 3 Mustaphas 3 to play and you did, by crikey! Fela always welcome, of course.
	♥ 4:23pm David Dichelle: WR: Sounds interesting nonetheless. Do you speak Surfer English?
	♥ 4:25pm David Dichelle: Hey Mark, I do often forget things like that, but not always.
	♥ 4:26pm David Dichelle: Bas, I know what you mean but there are some good and great tracks on all those albums, I'd say.
	🚂 ♥ 4:26pm Stanley: Pardon me for asking but what is Surfer English?
	🚂 ♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: "hodad" and the like?
	🚂 ♥ 4:28pm chresti: Hang ten?
	🚂 ♥ 4:28pm Bas NL: Thanks David, i'll check out Apartheid is Naziism and Jeruzalem!
	🚂 ♥ 4:29pm Sem: Totally tubular? Hey, chresti. Knew you'd have some surfer stuff.
	♥ 4:29pm David Dichelle: Bas, I will try to remember to play more off those albums as well.
	🚂 ♥ 4:29pm Brian in UK: Thanks David and Bas.
	🚂 ♥ 4:31pm Carmichael: Are you gnarly or are you a gremmie?
	🚂 ♥ 4:32pm Carmichael: I was a ho-daddy myself.
	🚂 ♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: Hang loose, riders
	🚂 ♥ 4:33pm Brian in UK: Saw a short programme with Tony Allen explaining his technique, he seemed to hold the sticks so loose but such a simple effective beat.
	🚂 ♥ 4:33pm Stanley: Okay, I see, surfers have their own language. I suppose this will also extend to skate boarders.
	🚂 ♥ 4:34pm WR: Though I went surfing regularly during my high school years, I knew more about The Animals, The 13th Floor Elevators The Doors and The Velvet Underground than than what kids said when acting silly, i mean cool, on the beach.
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Bas NL: I already find web-surf English challenging at times..
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Stanley: Nice little mix of styles in this Ikenga Super Stars. New to me.
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Carmichael: I think skateboarders (sidewalk surfers) adapted and updated the lexicon. i do know what it means to get chongo-ed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:38pm Stanley: Chongo-ed? Probably best I don't look it up.
	🚂 ♥ 4:39pm Carmichael: It involves an immovable object, like a pole, striking you in a sensitive place at high speed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:39pm WR: A major memory i have from surfing is hearing Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry set of songs blasting loudly endless repeating from a tourist gift shop near the beach.
	4:40pm Mark R: Uh-oh, the stream is having those problems again.
	🚂 ♥ 4:40pm Carmichael: Where did you surf, WR?
	♥ 4:40pm David Dichelle: I'm showing no drops, anyone else having problems?
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm WR: I'm not hearing any stream problems.
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Bas NL: All fine on the 128k on my end..
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Stanley: Smooth here on the pop up-ed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Sem: Pop up fine.
	♥ 4:43pm David Dichelle: Thanks, must have been one of those quirks out there.
	♥ 4:45pm David Dichelle: Is there any particular Texan surfer slang?
	🚂 ♥ 4:46pm WR: Texas. Galveston, Surfside mostly. A few times went to Corpus Christy. Best surf was early morning when tide was changing. So would get up at 4am, be out by 5am and surf until 8 or 9am, then fall asleep in the car listening to Chuck Berry & Everly Brothers.
	🚂 ♥ 4:47pm WR: David, that is what Hermes Nyes was investigating.
	4:48pm Mark R: Sounds OK now. I'm really enjoying this set. Complements the warm temps nicely.
	♥ 4:49pm David Dichelle: Interesting stuff, WR, sociolinguistics can be quite fascinating.
	♥ 4:49pm David Dichelle: Thanks Mark, glad it was only a brief glitch.
	🚂 ♥ 4:50pm Carmichael: Wow, wonder what the break would be like in Texas. I surfed all over California, from Manhattan Beach up to Santa Rosa. Except for Dana Point, which is not for the faint of heart.
	🚂 ♥ 4:52pm WR: My days of surfing were 66 and 67, summer 68 my family moved to Dallas and i never surfed again. So not surfer for life type, but i still have every LP I bought back then. In storage.
	🚂 ♥ 4:52pm Sem: Sub-continental jazz. Cool.
	🚂 ♥ 4:54pm WR: Surf was so tame in Texas that when a hurricane came there would be 100s of people trying to finally get some exciting waves.
	🚂 ♥ 4:56pm Stanley: That T.K. Ramamoorthy chugged along very nicely.
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm Bas NL: Great set again!
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm Carmichael: This music is actually not too far from Dick Dale's, who used to play in his family's Lebanese restaurant.
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm WR: I was pleased when could get a 3 or 4 footer that would give a 20 or 30 yard ride.
	🚂 ♥ 5:03pm doctorjazz: Time to go, thanks, David!
	♥ 5:04pm David Dichelle: Thanks and have a safe journey home, Doctorjazz!
	♥ 5:05pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Bas! Stanley, one might even say easily danceable.
	🚂 ♥ 5:09pm chresti: The tunes have been really rad, David.
	🚂 ♥ 5:11pm TDK60: Hello. I'm so late I missed the evening edition, and the newsboys have all gone home.
	♥ 5:12pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Chresti! (What is surfer for "thanks"?)
	♥ 5:12pm David Dichelle: Hey hey TDK!
	5:19pm Really Lisa: Thank you, David. Such a nice wrap-up to my afternoon. Peace to all.
	♥ 5:19pm David Dichelle: Glad to have you with us, Lisa!
	🚂 ♥ 5:31pm WR: Right, Carmichael @4:57, it made sense when I learned the origin of Dick Dale's great Miserlu.
	🚂 ♥ 5:32pm chresti: Hi Sem, that's about the extent of my surfer lingo.
	🚂 ♥ 5:49pm TDK60: That must be a lute in there?
	🚂 ♥ 5:50pm WR: Perhaps not ironically if you surf the web you will find much more about the history and lingo of surfing than about the charming lefty amateur folklorist Hermes Nye.
	🚂 ♥ 5:52pm TDK60: I saw a documentary on Igor Stravinksy recently, from 1966. He was in Toronto to conduct an orchestra. A young Julian Bream approaches Igor, asks to play him some lute. Igor looked as if he /really/ listened hard.
	🚂 ♥ 5:53pm Carmichael: @chresti, they used to have a name for girlfriends of surfers. Wish I could remember it ...
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm TDK60: Danke Dave. See you soon..
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm WR: You thinking of beach bunny?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Bas NL: And a beautiful finale.. Thanks David! Great show again!
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm chresti: Carmichael, old ladies?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Yvang: Oh! The station already?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Sem: My stop. Thank you, David, and all aboard, for the company and the music. See you next time a little further along the track.
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm Carmichael: Kinda, chresti, but a specific term. Anyway, bitchin' show, David!
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm Stanley: Great show, David, as enjoyable as ever. Take care, man and we'll do this again next week. Shlater, friends.
	🚂 ♥ 5:58pm WR: Yeah, totally bitchin'
	🚂 ♥ 6:01pm chresti: Honeys, @Carmichael?
	🚂 ♥ 6:02pm WR: Wahinas
	🚂 ♥ 6:02pm Bas NL: thinks: three hours is not enough
	♥ 6:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!

	♥ 4:13pm David Dichelle: Oh sorry to hear that Carmichael.
	🚂 ♥ 4:14pm Stanley: I had the pleasure of seeing Alpha Blondy in Switzerland in the eighties. Great reggae band from Africa.
	♥ 4:14pm David Dichelle: Bas, yes another old favorite album of mine as well, playing a lot of my old cassette-era music today, it seems.
	♥ 4:15pm David Dichelle: Good greetings Stanley and LOT!
	🚂 ♥ 4:17pm Brian in UK: David, are these times for digging out records etc and having a good listen? Can anyone recommend a good starting record for Alpha Blondy.
	🚂 ♥ 4:18pm WR: My Hermes Nye meeting was a lunch meeting at a chain diner. I worked at a community arts organization and when he donated I recognized the name and we talked a bit. He invited me to lunch.
	♥ 4:19pm David Dichelle: Brian: Sure the earlier ones in particular, Jah Glory, Apartheid is Naziism, Cocody Rock. Jerusalem.
	🚂 ♥ 4:21pm Bas NL: I must say Cocody Rock, his second, was a bit disappointing after Jah Glory. I didn't really follow Alpha Blondy after that, i'm afraid.
	🚂 ♥ 4:22pm chresti: Hi David and continentals!
	🚂 ♥ 4:22pm WR: I was hoping Mr. Nye would be a source for folkloric recordings beyond what was released by Folkways. He was interested to interview me because I had lived in Houston before moving to Dallas. He was researching "surfer English". A pleasant encounter but neither of us got what we were looking for.
	♥ 4:23pm David Dichelle: Hey Chresti!
	4:23pm Mark R: Hey you said you had some 3 Mustaphas 3 to play and you did, by crikey! Fela always welcome, of course.
	♥ 4:23pm David Dichelle: WR: Sounds interesting nonetheless. Do you speak Surfer English?
	♥ 4:25pm David Dichelle: Hey Mark, I do often forget things like that, but not always.
	♥ 4:26pm David Dichelle: Bas, I know what you mean but there are some good and great tracks on all those albums, I'd say.
	🚂 ♥ 4:26pm Stanley: Pardon me for asking but what is Surfer English?
	🚂 ♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: "hodad" and the like?
	🚂 ♥ 4:28pm chresti: Hang ten?
	🚂 ♥ 4:28pm Bas NL: Thanks David, i'll check out Apartheid is Naziism and Jeruzalem!
	🚂 ♥ 4:29pm Sem: Totally tubular? Hey, chresti. Knew you'd have some surfer stuff.
	♥ 4:29pm David Dichelle: Bas, I will try to remember to play more off those albums as well.
	🚂 ♥ 4:29pm Brian in UK: Thanks David and Bas.
	🚂 ♥ 4:31pm Carmichael: Are you gnarly or are you a gremmie?
	🚂 ♥ 4:32pm Carmichael: I was a ho-daddy myself.
	🚂 ♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: Hang loose, riders
	🚂 ♥ 4:33pm Brian in UK: Saw a short programme with Tony Allen explaining his technique, he seemed to hold the sticks so loose but such a simple effective beat.
	🚂 ♥ 4:33pm Stanley: Okay, I see, surfers have their own language. I suppose this will also extend to skate boarders.
	🚂 ♥ 4:34pm WR: Though I went surfing regularly during my high school years, I knew more about The Animals, The 13th Floor Elevators The Doors and The Velvet Underground than than what kids said when acting silly, i mean cool, on the beach.
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Bas NL: I already find web-surf English challenging at times..
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Stanley: Nice little mix of styles in this Ikenga Super Stars. New to me.
	🚂 ♥ 4:36pm Carmichael: I think skateboarders (sidewalk surfers) adapted and updated the lexicon. i do know what it means to get chongo-ed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:38pm Stanley: Chongo-ed? Probably best I don't look it up.
	🚂 ♥ 4:39pm Carmichael: It involves an immovable object, like a pole, striking you in a sensitive place at high speed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:39pm WR: A major memory i have from surfing is hearing Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry set of songs blasting loudly endless repeating from a tourist gift shop near the beach.
	4:40pm Mark R: Uh-oh, the stream is having those problems again.
	🚂 ♥ 4:40pm Carmichael: Where did you surf, WR?
	♥ 4:40pm David Dichelle: I'm showing no drops, anyone else having problems?
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm WR: I'm not hearing any stream problems.
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Bas NL: All fine on the 128k on my end..
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Stanley: Smooth here on the pop up-ed.
	🚂 ♥ 4:41pm Sem: Pop up fine.
	♥ 4:43pm David Dichelle: Thanks, must have been one of those quirks out there.
	♥ 4:45pm David Dichelle: Is there any particular Texan surfer slang?
	🚂 ♥ 4:46pm WR: Texas. Galveston, Surfside mostly. A few times went to Corpus Christy. Best surf was early morning when tide was changing. So would get up at 4am, be out by 5am and surf until 8 or 9am, then fall asleep in the car listening to Chuck Berry & Everly Brothers.
	🚂 ♥ 4:47pm WR: David, that is what Hermes Nyes was investigating.
	4:48pm Mark R: Sounds OK now. I'm really enjoying this set. Complements the warm temps nicely.
	♥ 4:49pm David Dichelle: Interesting stuff, WR, sociolinguistics can be quite fascinating.
	♥ 4:49pm David Dichelle: Thanks Mark, glad it was only a brief glitch.
	🚂 ♥ 4:50pm Carmichael: Wow, wonder what the break would be like in Texas. I surfed all over California, from Manhattan Beach up to Santa Rosa. Except for Dana Point, which is not for the faint of heart.
	🚂 ♥ 4:52pm WR: My days of surfing were 66 and 67, summer 68 my family moved to Dallas and i never surfed again. So not surfer for life type, but i still have every LP I bought back then. In storage.
	🚂 ♥ 4:52pm Sem: Sub-continental jazz. Cool.
	🚂 ♥ 4:54pm WR: Surf was so tame in Texas that when a hurricane came there would be 100s of people trying to finally get some exciting waves.
	🚂 ♥ 4:56pm Stanley: That T.K. Ramamoorthy chugged along very nicely.
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm Bas NL: Great set again!
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm Carmichael: This music is actually not too far from Dick Dale's, who used to play in his family's Lebanese restaurant.
	🚂 ♥ 4:57pm WR: I was pleased when could get a 3 or 4 footer that would give a 20 or 30 yard ride.
	🚂 ♥ 5:03pm doctorjazz: Time to go, thanks, David!
	♥ 5:04pm David Dichelle: Thanks and have a safe journey home, Doctorjazz!
	♥ 5:05pm David Dichelle: And thanks, Bas! Stanley, one might even say easily danceable.
	🚂 ♥ 5:09pm chresti: The tunes have been really rad, David.
	🚂 ♥ 5:11pm TDK60: Hello. I'm so late I missed the evening edition, and the newsboys have all gone home.
	♥ 5:12pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Chresti! (What is surfer for "thanks"?)
	♥ 5:12pm David Dichelle: Hey hey TDK!
	5:19pm Really Lisa: Thank you, David. Such a nice wrap-up to my afternoon. Peace to all.
	♥ 5:19pm David Dichelle: Glad to have you with us, Lisa!
	🚂 ♥ 5:31pm WR: Right, Carmichael @4:57, it made sense when I learned the origin of Dick Dale's great Miserlu.
	🚂 ♥ 5:32pm chresti: Hi Sem, that's about the extent of my surfer lingo.
	🚂 ♥ 5:49pm TDK60: That must be a lute in there?
	🚂 ♥ 5:50pm WR: Perhaps not ironically if you surf the web you will find much more about the history and lingo of surfing than about the charming lefty amateur folklorist Hermes Nye.
	🚂 ♥ 5:52pm TDK60: I saw a documentary on Igor Stravinksy recently, from 1966. He was in Toronto to conduct an orchestra. A young Julian Bream approaches Igor, asks to play him some lute. Igor looked as if he /really/ listened hard.
	🚂 ♥ 5:53pm Carmichael: @chresti, they used to have a name for girlfriends of surfers. Wish I could remember it ...
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm TDK60: Danke Dave. See you soon..
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm WR: You thinking of beach bunny?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Bas NL: And a beautiful finale.. Thanks David! Great show again!
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm chresti: Carmichael, old ladies?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Yvang: Oh! The station already?
	🚂 ♥ 5:56pm Sem: My stop. Thank you, David, and all aboard, for the company and the music. See you next time a little further along the track.
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks David!
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm Carmichael: Kinda, chresti, but a specific term. Anyway, bitchin' show, David!
	🚂 ♥ 5:57pm Stanley: Great show, David, as enjoyable as ever. Take care, man and we'll do this again next week. Shlater, friends.
	🚂 ♥ 5:58pm WR: Yeah, totally bitchin'
	🚂 ♥ 6:01pm chresti: Honeys, @Carmichael?
	🚂 ♥ 6:02pm WR: Wahinas
	🚂 ♥ 6:02pm Bas NL: thinks: three hours is not enough
	♥ 6:03pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!
