Your show needs to move to either Tuesday, or Wednesday afternoon.
It is too good to have a tiny audience. 7:13pm
Observations:

↳ Andrew in Toronto @7:11

I appreciate your support! Yes, there are discussions about changing the line up, but given my schedule I'm most likely going to be staying here. Also, lots of folks don't use the chat and listen w/out commenting and folks also use the archive a lot. But believe me, I hear you! The chat can be a little quiet on weekend nights 7:15pm

good evening Dr J! 🥁 ♥ 7:44pm
doctorjazz:

↳ Song: "Inner Babylon" by "Sons Of Kemet"

Hadn't known they recorded for Naim-they're known for Audiophile quality sound (they also make very expensive, great sounding stereo great).
SoK were as much about rhythm as anything else... 7:46pm
Observations:

↳ doctorjazz @7:44

it was their debut album from 2013 and I think Shabaka's only album on that label 🥁 ♥ 8:20pm
Listener Gregory: Hi, all. I didn't think I was listening, but after having the show on for 20 minutes, I have concluded that I *am* in fact listening. I mostly am familiar with Sons of Kemet and was sad when they broke up. I guess I should explore their earlier records that I don't have. 8:21pm
Observations:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:20

you are listening and I am playing music hello LG!   8:25pm

I had a dream in which I moved to Toronto and had some problems getting settled. Someone named Andrew was very helpful to me. After quite some time, I asked, "Wait, are you 'Andrew in Toronto'??" and the person said "Yes"! This possibility had not occurred to me for 3/4 of the dream. So, thanks so much for all your help!   8:34pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:32

Listener Gregory: I've had one waking trip to Toronto, a wedding plus a few days for sightseeing, and I found the town very impressive. But expensive, as Andrew says. Excellent local beer too!   8:44pm
Andrew in Toronto: It is good and cheap for walking around.   8:50pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:43

There are 2-3 good cheap cds stores. 🥁 ♥ 8:50pm
doctorjazz: I was in Toronto once as well, must be 40-50 years ago (a wedding as well), I do remember liking the town!   8:51pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ doctorjazz @8:50

In good weather, it`s a very good time. 🥁 ♥ 9:04pm
Listener Gregory: I'm impressed with how fluent and forthcoming Shabaka was. You seem to have a lot of interviews like that, David. Why don't you interview someone who says, "Uh, I guess... I don't really know," a lot? That would be entertaining to hear (but not for you to do!).   9:05pm
Andrew in Toronto:

↳ Listener Gregory @9:04

Let`s get this show moved to a better time. 9:07pm
Observations:

↳ Listener Gregory @9:04

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!!!! 🥁 ♥ 9:15pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ Observations @9:10

Yeah, if all of the interviewer has is, “Tell us about your latest album,” not much is going to come out of it. You have obviously done your homework.   9:17pm
Andrew in Toronto:

It`s late for me.
