Hiya, Paul. Just joined the show and already rewarded by a song (new to me) to add to my “faves” playlist and a Lucas clip that kind of sums up my work philosophy. So…THANK YOU for this! 😁

Song:
"Still Lives I. Sunlight Diamond" by "Alvin Lucier"
I still can't figure out how I was at Wesleyan at the same time as Alvin and had no idea he was there. It was a small school and I knew who most of the profs were, even if I didn't take courses with them.
10:54am
Gerry from Miami:
@PJ. Only been to RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL once, back in 1967, Thanksgiving weekend. The ROCKETTES performed before the featured movie, "WAIT UNTIL DARK," with Audrey Hepburn, Richard Crenna and Alan Arkin.

Re: RCMH: A friend used to lead backstage tours there and would make up stories of horrific events during rehearsals, involving Rockett madness and dismemberment.
Not in the Boro. Got one close to my office in Franklin. I've only ever been to one in an airport. They are wonderful for selling cheeseburgers at 6am. Murfreesboro is now home to an In n out. All the California transplants (the Caliban) are ecstatic.

Ceremony starts in a few minutes. Hope everyone is enjoying the show! Mabel and Scott have everything under control! The best!
I caught your show last week. I had guests in town who could watch Momo so I went on a two-day bike tour. Was listening from way out in some stunning water-filled landscapes.
Tried it once. Thought it was an alright cheeseburger but nothing to write home about. They haven't quite mastered scientifically engineering their food to hit every taste receptor just right the way McDonalds has!
HA! i was about to say "i hope not" but i actually wish there were. if it exists it's just somewhere in the attic of a former classmate that i haven't spoken to in decades. i might pull out the yearbook though and see if there's pix
