	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	3:04pm Phillippe Bastille: This is nice!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe!
	🥁 3:06pm Brian in UK: Hello Reverend, pew to the back for me.
	3:06pm Vincent The Soul Chef: That was Tommy James and the Shondells, huh? Hmmm. ;) Good afternoon everyone. Filing records away.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Brian! Vincent!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - There are like 5 soul covers on their first album.
	3:08pm Rick from SC: Cher!!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rick!
	3:09pm Rick from SC: Hey Larry and all
	3:09pm Erica: 7 deadly sins eh?
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	🥁 3:11pm WR: hello Testifiers from the recovery area of shuttered Outback converted to blood bank donor station for a day.
	3:11pm Doug Schulkind: Well I'll be a ten-toed sloth!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR! For a second I thought you meant Australia.
	3:11pm Erica: Hey Larry! Happy birthday to your mini self, Miles! 🎂
	3:12pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Larry & everyone. I’ve been listening since the top but was washing dishes.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: Doug!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Thank you! I'll relay the message!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	🥁 3:14pm WR: as bad as the fires were last year in Australia, don't think whole outback is shuttered, yeah, just at a local mall
	3:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Just noticed you were listing the sins on the far right. Had to scroll over on my phone.
	3:16pm still b/p: Early Cher > later Cher. Early Rod > later Rod. As testified to here this day.
	🥁 3:16pm WR: ahah. thanks for pointing that out Matt.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP! Yes, that is a formulation that I will concur with.
	3:18pm Matt from New Orleans: No worries WR. I figured I wouldn’t be the only one.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: This one written by Swamp Dogg, who, along with Charlie Foxx is all over this Gene Pitney album
	3:28pm Matt from New Orleans: I hope the family enjoys the birthday lasagna
	3:29pm Rick from SC: Thanks for the history lesson. Now I'm hungry
	🥁 3:29pm Brian in UK: Amen, Larry. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations do it for me. AD120ish. Is there anything better than being seventeen, well maybe sixteen.
	3:30pm Jeff Ash: Just played that Solomon Burke record last night!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - I will most assuredly be enjoying that lasagna, one of my favorite foods!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I saw! Excellent album.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: Nice electric sitar!
	3:32pm Jeff Ash: Found it in Maryland last summer. I never see any Solomon Burke records in Wisconsin.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: It may be the only one of his later albums I've found out in the wild. His early stuff is around but it was in print for a long time, especially after the British Invasion groups started to cover his songs.
	3:43pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s funny that you call 69 a later album for Solomon considering he kept releasing albums regularly until he passed in 2010.
	3:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: THIS tune! <3
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: "Late" for me, in the classic soul era. He was even dabbling in far out stuff like 'Generation of Revelation' in the late 60s
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - Yeah, the ONLY Ace Cannon record that sounds like this.
	3:45pm Matt from New Orleans: I knew what you meant Larry but it still made me chuckle
	🥁 3:49pm Brian in UK: Been 'singing' Spank's Chick A Ding Ding this last week.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: Love Spanky and Our Gang!
	3:50pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @Larry - I know you've heard Soul For Sale... that one is just a little bit better imo. Thank you for Spanky too :)
	3:51pm Erica: Haven't heard this one for a while.
	3:54pm still b/p: Is it just my longtime pleasant response/associations that bias my favorable hearing of it, or does Lazy Day seem like a song that could've been too saccharine and dreadful in other hands and with a different arrangement?
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - I think you're onto something there. Spanky et al had a very specific and unusual vibe that was sunshine poppy, show tuney, folky etc and they really carry it off on that one
	3:57pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, hi all
	🥁 3:57pm Brian in UK: still/bp sunshine pop is a term that I feel could never be applied to Spanky. Much more. Oh Larry you got it.
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - IMHO Spanky and Our Gang are one of the most underestimated groups of the 60s. Their albums are really interesting, with an unusual mix of material and sound that manages at time to be psychedelic without any of the cliched trapping of the psychedelia of the era
	4:01pm Erica: Hi Danny! Welcome to the 7 deadly sins show.
	4:01pm spodiodi: hi Larry and everyone
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Spodiodi!
	4:03pm Erica: Spanky and Our Gang were a Sunshine pop group. There I said it.
	🥁 4:03pm Brian in UK: Larry, having Bob Dorough around must have helped.
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Yes, Dorough and Stu Scharf, his writing/producing partner
	4:04pm doctorjazz: Hello Testifiers! (I thought Testify jokes could stop after last year, but here we are again...)
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	4:05pm Rick from SC: @ Larry, I realized I don't know anything about Spanky and our Gang and will certainly check them out some more.
	🥁 4:06pm Brian in UK: Oh man, this Eric Matthews still sounds soooo good. He also adds some cool trumpet on Tathiti 80's 'Wallpaper For the Soul'.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: @Rick - If you can find the albums I think you'll dig them.
	4:07pm Erica: Hey doc. You made it to the 2nd half of the show.
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Despite his devolution into MAGA-adjacent. that first Eric Matthews album remains a firm favorite
	4:09pm Little Danny: Wow, that Little Melvin was really something.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: Indeed, not sure of its origin. Passed to me by a friend years ago.
	4:11pm still b/p: If you assess particular bands and songs with a checklist of sunshine pop characteristics, you can get "yes, yes and yes." But the enjoyed result still can be a big summary "no, it's not thin, dismissable, cloying fluff." Some relevant interesting sets could be put together for a show.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Looks like a Baltimore 45
	🥁 4:11pm WR: Mark Lindsay is so over the top on Hungry that it was a guilty pleasure even when i was a teen.
	4:11pm doctorjazz: Hi Erica, had it on from the beginning, but at work, go in and out of radio range and not much time to post. Paul Revere and the Raiders are having a WFMU renaissance! (Love Hungry!)
	4:11pm Sem: Of all the karma wheels in all the worlds, I gotta be born on one with just 7 deadly sins. Hi, Larry, and all. Lurking, and lovin' the music.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: To borrow a phrase, there's always room for Paul Revere and the Raiders!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Oh, and the Monks were out of their minds.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Mark Lindsay definitely won for best PONY TAIL! (Used to love catching them on Where The Action Is afternoons way back when)
	🥁 4:14pm Brian in UK: What-ho, Sem.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: If the Monks are new to you, seek out the videos of them playing on the German TV show Beat Club, from 1966 or 1967
	🥁 4:14pm Yvang: They were reverse haircut punks.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: They were American GIs stationed in Germany
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang, Yup!
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Tonsure rock.
	🥁 4:16pm Yvang: And for a longtime I believed it was an original The Fall song. Lucky me : I didn't know yet about the Monks!.
	4:17pm Jeff Ash: Bobbie Gentry is sublime.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Agree 100%
	🥁 4:17pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Bobbie!!!! xoxox hi, Larry & folxes
	🥁 4:18pm Mx. Granny (e/em): dang, this set looks fierce
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: Granny!
	🥁 4:22pm Mx. Granny (e/em): smoky sweet molasses…
	4:22pm Erica: This sounds like a Tom Jones song.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: A specific song?
	4:24pm Erica: What's New Pussycat? (I love cats.)
	4:25pm Matt from New Orleans: I never would have guess Erica
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: I didn't hear it. I'll go back and relisten later on.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Cheese is a greedy man...
	4:32pm Vincent The Soul Chef: TUNE! This has been another perfect playlist, and relevant too, in so many ways...
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent! Have you heard the Woody Herman version?
	4:35pm StringOFperils: I was just thinking about playing Sly's Sex Machine a couple of hours ago, after my neighbour stopped me on the street to ask me if I could keep the stereo volume down (read:silent). But it's better this way, with you testifying for me, as it were.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey String! My pleasure, as always to be your music delivery system of choice, if only for a few hours at a time.
	4:36pm StringOFperils: :)
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: There's a cool cover version of this tune by Chicago DJ E. Rodney Jones on Westbound.
	4:38pm Mark R: "Sex Machine" is a bonus track, not on the "Stand!" album as released in 1969, correct?
	4:39pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all! I just remembered it was Testify time! Jeez! I'll have to catch the majority in the archives. Looks like it's been fantastic today!!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: No, it's on the original release
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: Side 2, right after Everyday People
	4:39pm Candy-O'67: And you even played a song off Candy-O today! :O
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: Candy-O!
	4:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @ Larry - Yup. I'm cooking lots of food for lunches at work. This music sounds fine :)
	4:42pm Matt from New Orleans: I thought the vice was going to be self-indulgence. Just kidding have enjoyed revisiting it.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Self-indulgence was a regular menu item in the late 60s
	4:45pm Erica: But alas Larry it was a sinful menu item.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: All the best ones are!
	4:46pm Sem: Well, what a spider sabich web we weave.
	4:46pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This Claudine Longet is on the nose, haha
	4:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Ha, beat me to it sem and hopey!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Spider we hardly knew ye...
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Oceanport, NJ's own Inmates!
	🥁 4:50pm Brian in UK: In lieu of nothing. Rev. Horton Heat have got some sins to account for!
	4:52pm Vincent The Soul Chef: O. My. God! <3 <3 <3
	4:53pm Erica: I lost the stream on my end.
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: Maintained the hookup on this end
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: Larry, top job again. Thanks.
	4:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: Doing me crust in. Rhyming slang Crust of bread = head.
	4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. Enjoy the birthday festivities.
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: I never caught that!
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc! Matt!
	4:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:55pm WR: I'd say that The Small Faces are just taking a well deserved rest. thank you Larry!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
	4:56pm Erica: My TuneIn stream wasn't working. Had to stream the last of the show from the pop up player.
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Just wonderful... I'm gonna replay the archive this evening for sure. THank you :)
	🥁 4:56pm Yvang: I must confess I enjoyed the show! Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:57pm dutchtheo: Thanks Larry! Close my eyes and drift away...
	4:58pm still b/p: Now we're all sin-chronized and ready to carry on.
	5:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Was listening while working. Great show as usual, Larry!
	5:01pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry!
	5:01pm Erica: Stay safe everyone! Have a great week.
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone! Be well!

	4:13pm Funky16Corners: To borrow a phrase, there's always room for Paul Revere and the Raiders!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: Oh, and the Monks were out of their minds.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Mark Lindsay definitely won for best PONY TAIL! (Used to love catching them on Where The Action Is afternoons way back when)
	🥁 4:14pm Brian in UK: What-ho, Sem.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: If the Monks are new to you, seek out the videos of them playing on the German TV show Beat Club, from 1966 or 1967
	🥁 4:14pm Yvang: They were reverse haircut punks.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: They were American GIs stationed in Germany
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang, Yup!
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Tonsure rock.
	🥁 4:16pm Yvang: And for a longtime I believed it was an original The Fall song. Lucky me : I didn't know yet about the Monks!.
	4:17pm Jeff Ash: Bobbie Gentry is sublime.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Agree 100%

	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent! Have you heard the Woody Herman version?
	4:35pm StringOFperils: I was just thinking about playing Sly's Sex Machine a couple of hours ago, after my neighbour stopped me on the street to ask me if I could keep the stereo volume down (read:silent). But it's better this way, with you testifying for me, as it were.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey String! My pleasure, as always to be your music delivery system of choice, if only for a few hours at a time.
	4:36pm StringOFperils: :)
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: There's a cool cover version of this tune by Chicago DJ E. Rodney Jones on Westbound.

	4:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @ Larry - Yup. I'm cooking lots of food for lunches at work. This music sounds fine :)
	4:42pm Matt from New Orleans: I thought the vice was going to be self-indulgence. Just kidding have enjoyed revisiting it.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Self-indulgence was a regular menu item in the late 60s
	4:45pm Erica: But alas Larry it was a sinful menu item.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: All the best ones are!
