MMv.60 - Dream Episode Feedback :
--Hi Dan,
I just listened to your latest episode, "The Dream Theme," and thought it was really well-done. I especially liked the footsteps and crickets and dog bark section, as well as all the great old tunes -- some of which I only half-remember. Very cool!
I actually produced audio podcasts for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for a year or two, interspersing conversation and recorded music, so I have some idea of all the work you must put into these. Great stuff! Put me on your mailing list!
Best,
Peter King

--Dan,
 I loved the premise of dreams and sleep. I wish that I could remember more of my dreams Keep the fun radio programs coming. Loved this one!!!
Love,
pami

---Hi Dan,   Thanks for another great episode! The Raymond Scott stuff is fascinating. I actually owned a copy of Genuine Imitation Life Gazette, so hearing "Idaho" brought me way back. Also loved the Radio Unnameable segment.  It's all great. Keep 'em coming!   Vince ( from Dark Hollow )

---Dan, I listened to Memphis Mobile with my coffee this morning.  Cool stuff.  I remember when listening to the radio was magical.  And so much music.  JK

---Thanks. Enjoyed it a lot. I liked the feel. Peaceful and relaxing start to my day.         Leeder Boy

---Definitely one of the best eps ever (MMv.57)!  It really had me on edge - the poor bat! Great story. And " I tapped him with the broom to see how he was doing" is hysterical. Same with "My trusty 1994 Memphis Mobile."           Great Fugs stuff and wonderful return to "Nothing" in the bat story. Dan Octavious, you outdid yourself this time.    Good work!                Roosevelt Lewis, Jr

---All Hail Memphis Mobile v.56 and it's resident orator, Dan (the man) Octavious.             Alvin

---Hi Dan Octavious, Sorry to hear about the passing of Pete Quaife. I enjoyed your tribute to him and the ever-lovin' Kinks.        Wenjovious

---Very tasty and enjoyable as usual. I especially like the dedication to Pete Quaife. Have a great day, Danny.        Jim J

---F'ing BRILLIANT. Not only great music choices, but what a piece about holding on to our collective cultural memory. Nice. Hauntingly surreal musicial mayhem to cop a term.   Thanks so much.  Beautiful.         R L Jr
---very cool !     thanks again as always Mr. Octavious    Alvin

---Really nice 'Women on Vinyl' music selections on the mobile .. and I like the music news piece (a keeper!).    VRS

---Dear M M I am a long time fan and listener and I want you to know that the new web site is great!  It’s so easy to find the Memphis Mobile and listen to current and past shows.Keep up the good work.  I’m hoping that there will be a new show soon; I really like the combination of stories and songs.  Dan Octavious is a  sharp host. He finds really interesting and obscure musical tidbits to share, and the stories are fun.  Keep up the good work.                                                                                                 ---Thanks.     Helene from Dayton (Loyal Listener and fan)

---Hey Octavious,
Loved the music. I'm a New Orleans denizen from the 70's. Always miss not being able to go regularly to Jazz Fest. Soon I will get back. Thanks for the memories.  Could you send me the playlist too?   I look forward to all your shows, --Leader Boy

---Dear Dan "Al Gore" Octavious,
Way to go! Great Mobile (v.44):  socially responsible, thoughtful, and provocative    Bravo !   I want more Memphis Mobile !    Uncle Screwy

---Dear Octavious,
Your show is first rate,          And I like the new sound.          It put my mind in a state,      Of something profound.            DT

---Dan:
I finally took the time to listen to your show.  This is great.  I really liked the music .              BP

---Dan,
I’ve been listening to Memphis Mobile radio shows off & on all day today.  I hardly ever get to listen to the show because I’m usually rushing through email.  But I’ve been enjoying the sound world you make so much. You really have a brilliant, wild streak in you—what a geography you create with MMRS!  That Memory show (v.41) is a knock out.                         Dada Guru

 ---“…Yes-- getting better and better!…   Keep ‘em Coming....omg I await these shows with anticipation from one installment to the next,
ya just never know what to expect.           WT

---Dan,
That was great! Obscure clips ( at least to me). You sound like you are having fun! Isn't that the whole goal of this game we call life anyway?!  Send me more!    Thanks, Leeder Boy


---Dear MM
I've been listening to some MM shows that I had not heard recently.  What fun!  I am enjoying the music and the humorous banter of the host Dan O.  He can be very funny, and some of the puns are great  !I hope that Dan O  will consider some more laughter in future shows. I was too worried during the sky diving incident  .  It took awhile to come down from that!Perhaps some levity would help cheer the listeners up during this difficult transition from summer to fall.  Just a suggestion.   I know you have your own editorial staff who consider topics for the show, and your staff of writers and gophers who help assemble each tasty MM production.  Perhaps you will all consider my suggestions. In any case I am a loyal listener.   I certainly appreciate the serious stuff you do too. Just keep the shows rolling.
can't wait for the next MM  !                   Kad Suh Kay
