	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	♥ 3:37pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & mop tops. Larry, this book has just come out and has been serialised on the radio. I know, there are hundreds of Beatle books but this sounds OK. www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:38pm Moog1 Radio: Hoping to hear some "Electronic Pop Music" next!
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Is it a book, or a podcast?
	3:42pm Moog1 Radio: I predict that this is the first of 2 tracks featured on The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: Paul Beaver on Moog!
	3:46pm Justin B.: I'm dying to know who ever covered Don't Pass Me By
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Justin! You're about to find out!
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: It's the Georgia Satellites and their crazy sideburns!
	♥ 3:49pm Brian in UK: Larry, book. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: That looks interesting!
	3:50pm Justin B.: Hey, this isn't terrible!
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Right?
	♥ 3:52pm Brian in UK: I remember my friend getting it for Christmas '68 and going round on Boxing Day to listen. Seems like only yesterday.
	3:53pm Justin B.: I recommend this feed to all the listeners from the maniac who has bought 1,800 copies of the While Album and posted each one. Something entrancing about scrolling through and seeing the various ways they warp and discolor: www.instagram.com...
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: I'm guessing I got mine about 8 years later. For all my Beatle love and my digging around for used records, I don't think I ever saw a used copy (Back then, anyway)
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: @Justin - Is that the guy that set up the exhibition in NYC?
	3:54pm Justin B.: Correction, he has 2,800 copies, not a mere 1,800. And yep, that's the guy!
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Sometimes I feel like they sequenced this album by picking song titles out of a hat.
	3:58pm CalZone!: This Maskella track is so soulful! Great!
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: His occasional vocals are really nice
	3:59pm Moog1 Radio: Tomorrow would have been the 90th Birthday of Charles Stepney! Just sayin before "Julia" c'mon Ramsey Lewis!
	3:59pm Jaylefus: Looking forward to hearing who tackles Revolution #9.
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - Def some Ramsey on the way.
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - Masekela also does a vocal version of "I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times"
	4:01pm CalZone!: Moog1 has wagers on what LG picks next! 'Cmon Ramsey Lewis, Baby needs a new pair of shoes...'!
	4:01pm Moog1 Radio: I've been striking out on my predictions but I am certain a band from Wisconsin is next!!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: You are correct!
	4:02pm CalZone!: LG, I need to track down the Maskella Beach Boys cover...ty!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: Vinnie Bell and Herbie Hancock on this Charlie Byrd LP
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Jeff Ash: Underground Sunshine! The pride of Montello, Wisconsin! This is the version I knew first.
	4:04pm CalZone!: I got this reckid! Yay Wisconsin!
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: This was a pretty big hit!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Jeff Ash: Their manager was a DJ from Madison, about an hour away. His sister was in the band's original lineup.
	4:05pm Erica: It's somebody's birthday today.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Holy shit, there's a guy named Egbert in this band!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Jeff Ash: Elton John's birthday! Also Aretha's!
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Jeff Ash: Yeah, but he more often went as Bert.
	4:07pm bill hanke: as a Beatles fanatic i was skeptical. THIS IS THE BEST!!!!! thank you so much. Charlie Byrd brough tears to my eyes. thank you.
	4:12pm David Shortell: I recall Theodore Bikel killed Sorrell Booke on a Columbo episode!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Bill! Thank you!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - As I (or anybody sane) would...
	4:14pm David Shortell: What was the other song the Dirty Mac played on that TV special? I can't remember but a violinist and Yoko joined in.
	♥ 4:14pm Sem: This is the MOST. Thank you, Larry the G.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem! Thanks!
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @David - I can't remember, but your description makes me think I've blocked it out...
	4:16pm CalZone!: Ramsey for the win!
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: This Ramsey Lewis album is just beautiful.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @David - Discogs lists it as 'Whole Lotta Yoko" featuring Ivry Gitlis on violin
	♥ 4:20pm Little Danny: I'm no audiophile but these drums are so beautifully recorded.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Agreed.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: This is one of the songs I had multiple versions of and had to choose.
	4:21pm Moog1 Radio: The other track featured on The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show!
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: This one I have on 45
	♥ 4:22pm Little Danny: It covers well. The Feelies version is really great, too.
	4:22pm Justin B.: This song is so well suited for being a Fats tune, even if it feels like some weird time travel occured
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: The other one I have is by Orchestra Harlow on Fania
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: @Justin - It's like Fats' verison of Lady Madonna
	4:23pm Justin B.: Oh yeaaah, I totally forgot about that!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Ramsey Lewis Double Play!
	4:24pm CalZone!: Charles Stepney magic here!
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Loving the electric piano!
	♥ 4:25pm zzz: great groove going here
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Glad you're digging it, zzz!
	4:28pm David Shortell: Siouxsie covered another White Album track besides this one. I trust you'll play that too!
	4:29pm Andres: Hello! Liking Siouxsie even more now! Never heard this.
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Not on today's playlist.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	4:30pm Justin B.: Siouxsie is killing it here. But here is another great modified Helter Skelter that is entertaining: youtu.be...
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: George got four of the more interesting tracks on this album
	♥ 4:33pm Little Danny: Do you have a fave Beatles album, Larry? You feel like a Revolver kinda guy to me but that might be presuming too much.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Revolver it is, with HELP! a close second.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: Excellent. I will redouble my presumptions.
	4:35pm Erica: The lead singer sounds a bit like Carly Simon.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure who's singing lead. The leader of the band is a violinist
	♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: I was unable to find the version of Honey Pie that I wanted, as performed by Tony Randall on a TV special in the 70s
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: This'll wash that last one out of your ears...
	4:43pm CalZone!: Honey Pie was like budda!
	♥ 4:43pm Sem: Ella sings George. How great is that?
	4:44pm bill hanke: why bother w a favorite Beatles album? take each record as a chapter in book.
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: The album that this is from is EXCELLENT!
	♥ 4:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Nice Barone!
	♥ 4:46pm Little Danny: So this is what Richard Barone sounds like. Great voice.
	♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: @Bill - The Beatles are so vast a thing to approach, that I think picking a favorite album is just an exercise in trying to bring it into focus. I know people that won't listen to early Beatles, and some people who ONLY like early Beatles
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This is a great album. You've heard the Bongos, right?
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 4:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Barone and Mastro did some nice work as a duo as well
	♥ 4:48pm Little Danny: @Larry: Nope. Barone (and the Bongos) are names (and album covers) I've seen for decades without having knowingly heard their work.
	4:48pm CalZone!: Barone track is solid!
	♥ 4:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Gotta give them a listen, Little D. More hooks than a Bass Pro Shop
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You have to grab this ASAP. Cornerstone album of 80s alt-pop/jangle www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: @Larry: thanks, duly D/Ling.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I got to see the Bongos at Maxwells, which is kind of like receiving communion at the Vatican
	4:50pm CalZone!: Ah, so this was my musical question, who would cover #9! Clever! Block that kick!
	4:51pm CalZone!: I saw REM open for the Bongos at some small club in NYC a million years ago.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: THAT is cool!
	4:53pm David Shortell: Barney Gumble parodied Revolution #9 on the "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" episode of The Simpsons.
	4:53pm Jaylefus: Upon them, a telegram.
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: @David - I'd like a mens hat, with a plum floating in perfume...
	4:54pm CalZone!: I think it was the Mudd Club in 1980 or 81.
	♥ 4:55pm Little Danny: Number eight BURRRPPP.
	4:55pm CalZone!: Wonderous show Lar!
	♥ 4:55pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry! Illuminating show as always.
	4:55pm Erica: That scene was hilarious David. Barney even dated a Yoko Ono like woman.
	4:57pm Erica: Number 9. Buuurrrp. Or something like that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oooo, Larry that Tony Randall Honey Pie thing sounds very familiar!
	5:00pm Erica: Great show as always Larry.
	♥ 5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all!
	5:01pm Justin B.: Great show!
	♥ 5:01pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!

	♥ 7:13pm WR: fun show, thank you.. had to drop after the first hour. will come back to replay and hear the 2nd hour. Puzzled why not seeing comments after the 3:11 ET. laters.
	♥ 7:15pm Funky16Corners: WR - Thanks! Not sure why that is. I’m seeing your comment after my final comment at 5:01ET
	♥ 7:15pm WR: PS: when posted my comment the browser refresh shows the rest of the comments, but y'all already knew that would happen.
	♥ 7:16pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!

	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: @Justin - Is that the guy that set up the exhibition in NYC?
	3:54pm Justin B.: Correction, he has 2,800 copies, not a mere 1,800. And yep, that's the guy!
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: Sometimes I feel like they sequenced this album by picking song titles out of a hat.
	3:58pm CalZone!: This Maskella track is so soulful! Great!
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: His occasional vocals are really nice
	3:59pm Moog1 Radio: Tomorrow would have been the 90th Birthday of Charles Stepney! Just sayin before "Julia" c'mon Ramsey Lewis!
	3:59pm Jaylefus: Looking forward to hearing who tackles Revolution #9.
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: @Moog1 - Def some Ramsey on the way.
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - Masekela also does a vocal version of "I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times"
	4:01pm CalZone!: Moog1 has wagers on what LG picks next! 'Cmon Ramsey Lewis, Baby needs a new pair of shoes...'!
	4:01pm Moog1 Radio: I've been striking out on my predictions but I am certain a band from Wisconsin is next!!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: You are correct!
	4:02pm CalZone!: LG, I need to track down the Maskella Beach Boys cover...ty!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: Vinnie Bell and Herbie Hancock on this Charlie Byrd LP

	4:04pm CalZone!: I got this reckid! Yay Wisconsin!
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: This was a pretty big hit!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Jeff Ash: Their manager was a DJ from Madison, about an hour away. His sister was in the band's original lineup.
	4:05pm Erica: It's somebody's birthday today.
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Holy shit, there's a guy named Egbert in this band!
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Jeff Ash: Elton John's birthday! Also Aretha's!
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm Jeff Ash: Yeah, but he more often went as Bert.
	4:07pm bill hanke: as a Beatles fanatic i was skeptical. THIS IS THE BEST!!!!! thank you so much. Charlie Byrd brough tears to my eyes. thank you.
	4:12pm David Shortell: I recall Theodore Bikel killed Sorrell Booke on a Columbo episode!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Bill! Thank you!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - As I (or anybody sane) would...
	4:14pm David Shortell: What was the other song the Dirty Mac played on that TV special? I can't remember but a violinist and Yoko joined in.
	♥ 4:14pm Sem: This is the MOST. Thank you, Larry the G.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem! Thanks!
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @David - I can't remember, but your description makes me think I've blocked it out...
	4:16pm CalZone!: Ramsey for the win!
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: This Ramsey Lewis album is just beautiful.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @David - Discogs lists it as 'Whole Lotta Yoko" featuring Ivry Gitlis on violin
	♥ 4:20pm Little Danny: I'm no audiophile but these drums are so beautifully recorded.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Agreed.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: This is one of the songs I had multiple versions of and had to choose.
	4:21pm Moog1 Radio: The other track featured on The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show!
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: This one I have on 45
	♥ 4:22pm Little Danny: It covers well. The Feelies version is really great, too.
	4:22pm Justin B.: This song is so well suited for being a Fats tune, even if it feels like some weird time travel occured
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: The other one I have is by Orchestra Harlow on Fania
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: @Justin - It's like Fats' verison of Lady Madonna
	4:23pm Justin B.: Oh yeaaah, I totally forgot about that!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Ramsey Lewis Double Play!
	4:24pm CalZone!: Charles Stepney magic here!
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Loving the electric piano!
	♥ 4:25pm zzz: great groove going here
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Glad you're digging it, zzz!
	4:28pm David Shortell: Siouxsie covered another White Album track besides this one. I trust you'll play that too!
	4:29pm Andres: Hello! Liking Siouxsie even more now! Never heard this.
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Not on today's playlist.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	4:30pm Justin B.: Siouxsie is killing it here. But here is another great modified Helter Skelter that is entertaining: youtu.be...
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: George got four of the more interesting tracks on this album
	♥ 4:33pm Little Danny: Do you have a fave Beatles album, Larry? You feel like a Revolver kinda guy to me but that might be presuming too much.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Revolver it is, with HELP! a close second.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: Excellent. I will redouble my presumptions.
	4:35pm Erica: The lead singer sounds a bit like Carly Simon.
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure who's singing lead. The leader of the band is a violinist
	♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: I was unable to find the version of Honey Pie that I wanted, as performed by Tony Randall on a TV special in the 70s
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: This'll wash that last one out of your ears...
	4:43pm CalZone!: Honey Pie was like budda!
	♥ 4:43pm Sem: Ella sings George. How great is that?
	4:44pm bill hanke: why bother w a favorite Beatles album? take each record as a chapter in book.
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: The album that this is from is EXCELLENT!
	♥ 4:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Nice Barone!
	♥ 4:46pm Little Danny: So this is what Richard Barone sounds like. Great voice.
	♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: @Bill - The Beatles are so vast a thing to approach, that I think picking a favorite album is just an exercise in trying to bring it into focus. I know people that won't listen to early Beatles, and some people who ONLY like early Beatles
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This is a great album. You've heard the Bongos, right?
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 4:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Barone and Mastro did some nice work as a duo as well
	♥ 4:48pm Little Danny: @Larry: Nope. Barone (and the Bongos) are names (and album covers) I've seen for decades without having knowingly heard their work.
	4:48pm CalZone!: Barone track is solid!
	♥ 4:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Gotta give them a listen, Little D. More hooks than a Bass Pro Shop
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You have to grab this ASAP. Cornerstone album of 80s alt-pop/jangle www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: @Larry: thanks, duly D/Ling.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I got to see the Bongos at Maxwells, which is kind of like receiving communion at the Vatican
	4:50pm CalZone!: Ah, so this was my musical question, who would cover #9! Clever! Block that kick!
	4:51pm CalZone!: I saw REM open for the Bongos at some small club in NYC a million years ago.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: THAT is cool!
	4:53pm David Shortell: Barney Gumble parodied Revolution #9 on the "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" episode of The Simpsons.
	4:53pm Jaylefus: Upon them, a telegram.
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: @David - I'd like a mens hat, with a plum floating in perfume...
	4:54pm CalZone!: I think it was the Mudd Club in 1980 or 81.
	♥ 4:55pm Little Danny: Number eight BURRRPPP.
	4:55pm CalZone!: Wonderous show Lar!
	♥ 4:55pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry! Illuminating show as always.
	4:55pm Erica: That scene was hilarious David. Barney even dated a Yoko Ono like woman.
	4:57pm Erica: Number 9. Buuurrrp. Or something like that.
	🥁 ♥ 4:59pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oooo, Larry that Tony Randall Honey Pie thing sounds very familiar!
