Thank you, Kevin!

 

 

Great note keeping Ziggy!

Yes, excellent job! Thank you, Monty!

 

Everything went well. Found one polyp. I still have to hear on that, but I’m a bit confidently arrogant that I’m in the clear for now because the issue subsided with some Omeprazole. Thank you again for the kind words!

I’ll be happy to be substitute note-taker. Can’t promise to be as thorough as you are, but I’ll be making my notes for the song list anyway. Might as well jot down a few other notes on what they discuss, too. Good luck to you, and be well.

Thank you! ❤️

Just a heads up for Thursday’s show, if anyone wants to fill in for me. Thanks in advance!

No need to worry, but I’ll be undergoing a colonoscopy prep on Thursday evening to hopefully fix an issue that began late last week. I feel fine. I’m making sure to not become anemic. I totally understand when Jeff mentioned how anxiety makes him want to poop. I’m the same way. I think this stressful time that we’re living in exacerbated that issue which led to gross and scary bathroom issues. Anyways, I was right on it checking myself into the ER on Friday afternoon and that’s a huge step because I hate hospitals.

Offering up a data point:

I noticed on Susie's YouTube channel that she labeled the all-kids/no Jeff show as episode 51. I'm assuming that will not change, and therefore she will call last night's episode number 52. Based on that assumption, I'm going to label last nights songs as episode 52 on the spreadsheet so that it matches up to the YouTube videos.

 

If she does change the numbering when she uploads the episode, I will go back and re-adjust the list to match.

Thanks for the heads up! I added a recap for the Kids Show and labeled it as episode 51 & changed last night’s episode to 52. I don’t want it to be confusing either. Lol

I see what you did there.

That was the work of my iPhone's auto correct. Lol

Thanks for putting these together! "Just a Kid" for Lilah was my request for my daughters whose best friend moved from Chicago to Texas to get out of the city during the virus. Found out her bestie is staying in Texas and they won't be near each other. "Just a Kid" is Lilah's fave and she was so blown away she thought for a second I was pranking her. But she thought it was amazing! Just another act of kindness on a long list of mitzvah's.

Thank you for the kind words! That’s a sad story about her best friend moving so far away, but it’s an awesome story about Jeff playing Just A Kid for her!

 

Lots of stuff going on in the Tweedy-verse today, so I’m going to remind people in here that if you go to Wilco’s IG page at 11pm EST you can catch Jeff’s 20 minute-ish set for Australia’s Isol-Aid Festival. https://www.isolaidfestival.com/

 

You can catch Jeff Tweedy’s performance around the 40 minute mark. This happened the same time today while Live From Here was going on. And there’s also a live set from Jeff that’s going to start at 11pm EST for the Australian Isol-Aid Festival on Wilco’s IG page. It looks like his set is scheduled for 20 minutes per the official link. https://www.isolaidfestival.com/

That was amazing! The production and everything was perfect.

 

I listened to it via their YouTube link and you can rewind it! It’s about 10 minutes into the program after the Fiona Apple song.

https://youtu.be/BSHhGcqTCq4

So many great songs! I have a theory he or Susie read my thread? He played three request (two of diamond claws and one of mine) from the thread including blue eyed soul which I have been asking for forever! Was so good!

Yes! Another awesome set of tunes.

 

And i agree with you. Someone saw your request thread. Let me head over there now. Lol

Maybe the new song tomorrow ties in with this performance.
