Crazy Coincidental Moments


Wow
wow
wow
wow

So I'm at work listening to the Railroad Earth Knitting Factory show from 2004 on my
IPOD when I decide to tune into HomeGrown Radio stream for the first time ever. I switch the speaker wire back to my computer to stream the station and hear them
playing the same song (not the same show but still!)...'Just So You Know'...

After repeatedly checking my IPOD to make sure the speaker wire was really disconnected, I became short of breath and I'm still shaking! Especially since this
song seems to be less played than a lot of the others that could have
been on...

Powerful coincidental moment for me, especially since my passion for
RRE and Todd has intensified over the last week with some recent
downloading frenzy!

So I email the HomeGrown radio DJ to share my crazy moment and we start going back and forth about songs and shows and the Earthboard (RRE discussion board on Yahoo)...

The DJ, Jeff, then says "Shout out to Cara, a big Railroad Earth fan" and proceeds to indulge my requests...

He also played I am a Mess, not by request, which is crazy because I can't get enough of that song lately after hearing it for the first time at Mexicali on Feb 1st...

*shaking head in disbelief*

Then he played me one of the best Butterfly and the Tree versions I've heard, of course from a show dated June 30th (significant date in my life) from Mexicali Blues!
Then, he also played my request for Goat!

ps Oh! and it gets better! Check this out: I didn't even know/see this.
This is the DJ I was speaking with, his post on the Earthboard...:
"This is to let you know that I'll be on for an additional hour again
tomorrow Wed. 2/13.
11:00 AM - 3:15 PM.
I'll be playing RRE during the 2:00 hour.
I hope you enjoy the music if you are able to tune in."
So he isn't even normally on during that time!!! So freakin' coincidental!
