Good morning, folks.

💟

Good to see you again, MrM. 💜

This is just what the doctor ordered for some relaxation.

🎷 Kadri Gopalnath's father was a nadaswaram player.

Hello TAndy. It must be an Indian doctor.

Dr. Dave did a wonderful treatment earlier... Already I'm feeling cloud 9 lifting me into a slumber. Not too long though, I have a football game to catch with the old man later. Have a good day everyone :)

Morning Dave 🫖☕️, TAndy 😁, MrMalcontent💀 & all

Good morning, Christine. Have a good day, TAndy.

Take care TAndy

Sorry to have missed the 7 - 9 am show. Snoozed and loozed. 😴

I know, Christine. That's understandable. My awful habit of getting up early means I snooze and miss all the great late night programs. Can't win.

Did anyone get to hear Music With Space last night?

😞 No... And that's my whole point. I had wanted to hear Mike Hunter's tribute show, but could not stay awake. Especially since I knew I had the early morning shift.

I was glad to see Mike didn't play all the same songs I did.

Ah. I also missed it.

He aired many tracks from the limited edition CD series Private Tapes.

The only track our shows had in common was Pluralis.

(I'm still awake for a few moments) Christine, today or tomorrow, some point on one of my days off, I do plan on stitching together some station recordings from the past couple of days. I did happen to get Mike's show. After I have it backed up, I'll ping you in chat so I can send you a private link to my personal archive for the show if you're interested. Email and Twitter are the best options for that.

You've been busy @TAndy! Sounds good.

😶‍🌫️👍

DTO, I'm glad to hear that your playlist and Michael Hunter's playlist had virtually no overlap. It's like you are both psychic 🔮...or Michael checked your playlist to avoid overlap.

Not sure. I have no indication that Mike H. is even aware of ኻᶒ ᚻєឃ Ⱑᛔᚥፀ𐌓ᛗⲀᶅ.

I mentioned it in chat and he wasn't aware you also did a tribute either. Much different sounds than what we're heard in the morning though, some high energy stuff

I guess it's back to the psychic theory then.

And now you know why I am "ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ "!

"Who?"

😶‍🌫️

Hello Sangeet and all on Christmas Eve morning

Hi Ossy!

Good morning, Ossy.

Morning Christine!

This folk melody is transporting and lovely.

And the flautist is an amazing musician. A child prodigy and innovator.

Thanks for playing this piece! I'll have to look into T.R. Mahalingam's music.

Thanks for Sangeet!

Thanks for listening.

Happy Christmas and New Years, Sangeet!

Thanks, Ossy! Same to you!

Take care all, and crystallized fruits for everyone!
