	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Where's Erica? This is her bailiwick!
	3:06pm Erica: I'm here Larry. I didn't forget ;)
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: There she is!
	3:07pm listener Rey: All set for a fantastic voyage, Captain Larry. Hello fellow voyagers!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rey!
	🥁 3:08pm Brian in UK: Erica, how are you doing?
	3:10pm doctorjazz: Hey Folks!
	🥁 3:10pm Brian in UK: Holding out for Jimmy Buffett. Ha! Ha!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: You're going to be holding for a long time, though I don't hate Jimmy,...
	3:11pm Erica: A bit rough today. I'm worried about finding makeup and jewelry for a wedding I plan to attend for my cousin on Saturday.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: I think it's supposed to be nice on Saturday (if warm)
	3:13pm Erica: Very hot Saturday.
	3:16pm Erica: "Lady" recently played on an episode of Bless the Harts.
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: I have to catch up (I have them on the DVR)
	3:20pm Erica: It's the episode called Haul Force One.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: It just occurred to me that I should have played the first version of this I ever heard, by Linda Ronstadt.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: Or the live version by LF
	3:21pm doctorjazz: Love this Little Feet!
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:23pm ike p: greetings and thanks DJ Larry - this vibe is exactly what the doctor ordered
	3:23pm Erica: It's Starbuck! I follow Bruce Blackman on FB and I think Twitter.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Bruce Blackman was in Eternity's Children in the 60s. Great pop band produced by Curt Boettcher
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Hey Ike!
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Greatest marimba solo in a pop record, ever.
	3:38pm Erica: My favorite Joni Mitchell song.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Up there for me, too. And oddly, I couldn't stand this song when I was a kid (when it first came out). Probably too sophisticated for my 12 year old ears
	🥁 3:41pm Brian in UK: Larry, just so.
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: I was very pleased the other day to discover that there's a Joni Mitchell Ensemble at the Berklee College of Music, dedicated to playing her stuff
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: If you have the chance to pick up the reissue of Ned Doheny's first two albums, grab it. Great stuff.
	3:45pm Erica: Hey Larry, ever heard of My Innocence by Laura Nyro? Would fit perfectly in this playlist.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: I don't think so, but I love Laura Nyro. I want to do a show dedicated to her songs someday
	3:46pm Erica: You should check it out when you get the chance later.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: I'll look for it. I don't have much of her later stuff.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: Listen to that phlanged electric piano. Smoooooooooth.
	3:52pm Erica: I noticed that a lot of those soft rock artists, not all of them obviously but a good number of them signed under Warner Bros records at the time. It was in beautiful downtown Burbank, which explains the 70s California sound.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, WB shows up a LOT in this show. A&M too
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: And WB subsidiary Reprise
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: I know I've said this a bunch of times, but I LOVE Michael McDonald's voice.
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: And now, imitation Michael McDonald!
	3:55pm CupcakeJenny: Hi everyone!
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	3:55pm Erica: Hi Jenny. Ready to set sail?
	3:56pm Moog1 Radio: I always believed this to be a potential Vinnie Bell appearance!
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - You might be right! Dupree was from NYC
	3:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm here... had to run and get beer and more bubble wrap... damned 4G signal didn't hold...
	3:56pm CupcakeJenny: Always! Larry knows I’m a huge yacht rock fan.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: Yes, we leave the yacht rock station on in the car!
	3:57pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Sounds just like the last Harris Teeter playlist ;) Howdy, Larry :)
	3:57pm CupcakeJenny: Hey Vincent :)
	3:58pm ike p: today's recommended terpine is linalool
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: What now?
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: I just looked that up! I agree!
	4:00pm ike p: terpenes is what makes medical cannabis do its thing. linalool is recommended for relaxation and anti-anxiety
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: It's in mint, too!
	4:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Hi @Jenny... :) Back to packing..
	4:02pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, hi all!
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	4:03pm Dave: Between me and my older brothers, we had pretty much this entire set on LPs in high school.
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: Hi Dave!
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: This is the kind of record that made people go out and get big, fancy stereos.
	4:05pm ike p: yeah, i'm making due with a good set of headphones but someday...
	4:05pm ike p: just for the guitar effect
	4:06pm ike p: oh now you're spoiling me :)
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: NJ native Gary Wright!
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: If you are not hooked up with Give the Drummer Radio e-mail updates, go to tinyletter.com... and sign up!
	4:08pm Dave: Hi Funky! Yea, we had the big fancy stereo. Floor speakers, cassette deck, turntable, when I was 15 I thought it was the bomb.
	4:08pm Little Danny: I always thought Gary Wright was British...
	4:08pm Jeff Ash: Gary Wright was so popular (or was it me?) that I could not find a date and had to eat a ticket when he played on my college campus in January 1978. Starcastle was the opening act. A most '70s pairing.
	4:10pm listener Rey: Had heard the term but wasn't sure what Yacht Rock actually was. Thanks for helping to define it and for picking the cream of the crop for us
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, Rey!
	4:17pm Little Danny: It took me many years to find my way to this sound. Now I love it.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - The bigness of that record cannot be overestimated. I've gone through a few copies over the years.
	4:18pm Vincent The Soul Chef: <3 <3 <3
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Steely Dan is like the old story about the blind men and the elephant. They all think it's something different. My wife and I are both huge Steely Dan fans, but I've met people who cannot tolerate them.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: I used ot have a 12" of this song with an instrumental dub. I wish I still had it.
	🥁 4:19pm Yvang: Why so many people seem to hate so much Steely Dan?
	4:19pm ike p: huh - backing vocals don henley and glenn frey
	🥁 4:19pm Yvang: I this the perfectionism?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - I think, despite their mountain of hits, they are too sophisticated for some people, too R&B/jazz for others.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Ike - I didn't know that!
	🥁 4:20pm Yvang: They do not have the Rock n' roll vibe...
	4:20pm Little Danny: Even at the height of my teenage rejection of classic rock, I actually still liked certain Steely Dan tracks.
	4:21pm ike p: @larry truthfully i didn't either - you sent me down the wikipedea (whatever) rabbit hole looking for michael mcdonald background vocals, i know he's everywhere :)
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - But they do, if you go back to the early records.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Ike - I could do a very long set of songs that he sings back up on, from Steely Dan to Christopher Cross, to James Ingram and on and on
	4:22pm Erica: The band's sound is a mix of blues rock, jazz fusion and funk.
	4:23pm ike p: hopefully i'll be here when you do :) i love his voice also, and thanks to covid hair i've got his style :)
	🥁 4:23pm Brian in UK: Remember the first time you heard 'Do It Again'?
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Not exactly, but i do remember listening to it on the transistor radio!
	🥁 4:25pm Yvang: I've always loved Steely Dan, pure pleasure for the ears.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Me too. Love their stuff from end to end. I did a Steely Dan show back when Walter Backer passed away
	4:26pm Little Danny: "Do It Again" sounds great in a set of '70s Latin jazz.
	4:26pm CupcakeJenny: I do not understand how anyone hates steely Dan. This is an amazing song.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - There's a great cover of Do It Again by Airto and Deodato
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Here's Michael!
	4:27pm ike p: thanks for posting the link! i'll be tuning that next
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 4:28pm Yvang: Thanks for the show's link Larry!
	4:28pm Dave: I grew up loving jazz so Steely Dan always made sense to me. They even do a cover of a Duke Ellington tune (East St. Louis Toodle-00) on Pretzel Logic.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: This amazing track produced by Gary Katz, keys by Donald Fagen
	🥁 4:30pm Yvang: Wow! I had not heard it since the eighties!
	4:30pm Little Danny: Wow yeah this has those instantly identifiable Becker/Fagen arrangements and jazzy harmonies.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: The only album she ever did: www.discogs.com...
	4:31pm Little Danny: Love it.
	4:32pm Little Danny: Do Fagen's solo LPs sound like Steely Dan? I've not heard them outside of a track or two.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hang on just a sec!
	4:33pm Little Danny: Ohhh thanks!
	4:33pm ike p: whoa
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: You tell me!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I recommend this and the Nightfly highly.
	4:34pm ike p: you two worked that out before the show didn't you :)
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I am all seeing, all knowing!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: When you get a sec look for the video of this song, which features Rick Moranis.
	4:35pm Little Danny: Maybe slightly more R&B-oriented, but definitely still sounds like Steely Dan!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Yes, smoother
	4:44pm Doug Schulkind: Sometime in the next 3-4 weeks a new show will be joining the Drummer Stream. It will be slotting in on Thursdays, 5-7pm, following Testify! and preceding Explorers Room. GET READY!
	4:45pm ike p: speaking of albums to revist with mature ears
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! I can't wait to find out about the show!
	🥁 4:45pm Brian in UK: Arc of Diver effortlessly Mind mind is sky when i wake up.
	4:45pm Jeff Ash: This show has been a flashback to the years that followed high school, which began 46 years ago tonight, when I graduated from high school.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: 46 years of congratulations!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: I can't honestly remember the date of our graduation, but the night following was a clusterfuck that 41 years hence I can laugh about (but just a bit).
	4:47pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners Possibly someone you know from the record hunting wars.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: That's intriguing!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: You hinted at Detroit, right?
	4:50pm Doug Schulkind: Detroit "adjacent." Closer to Kalamazoo.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Hmmmmm...
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry, for reaching the unreachable.
	4:53pm listener Rey: It seems we've strayed into Brazilian waters, Captain
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: I hope you enjoyed it, Brian!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Rey - We have indeed!
	4:55pm Erica: Now we're back on American soil.
	4:56pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I think this is my first time ever tuning into 'Testify!' and I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Back in warm, sunny Southern California!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: He D Rok! Thanks!
	5:00pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry! Great show!
	5:04pm Erica: Awesome show Larry!
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica! Danny!
	5:05pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Thank you, Larry :)
	🥁 5:05pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! I had my first shot of vaccine today.
	5:05pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent!
	5:05pm Erica: I'm glad you enjoyed it D Rok.
	5:05pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - Excellent!

	4:19pm Funky16Corners: I used ot have a 12" of this song with an instrumental dub. I wish I still had it.
	🥁 4:19pm Yvang: Why so many people seem to hate so much Steely Dan?
	4:19pm ike p: huh - backing vocals don henley and glenn frey
	🥁 4:19pm Yvang: I this the perfectionism?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - I think, despite their mountain of hits, they are too sophisticated for some people, too R&B/jazz for others.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Ike - I didn't know that!
	🥁 4:20pm Yvang: They do not have the Rock n' roll vibe...
	4:20pm Little Danny: Even at the height of my teenage rejection of classic rock, I actually still liked certain Steely Dan tracks.
	4:21pm ike p: @larry truthfully i didn't either - you sent me down the wikipedea (whatever) rabbit hole looking for michael mcdonald background vocals, i know he's everywhere :)
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - But they do, if you go back to the early records.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Ike - I could do a very long set of songs that he sings back up on, from Steely Dan to Christopher Cross, to James Ingram and on and on
	4:22pm Erica: The band's sound is a mix of blues rock, jazz fusion and funk.
	4:23pm ike p: hopefully i'll be here when you do :) i love his voice also, and thanks to covid hair i've got his style :)
	🥁 4:23pm Brian in UK: Remember the first time you heard 'Do It Again'?
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Not exactly, but i do remember listening to it on the transistor radio!
	🥁 4:25pm Yvang: I've always loved Steely Dan, pure pleasure for the ears.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Me too. Love their stuff from end to end. I did a Steely Dan show back when Walter Backer passed away
	4:26pm Little Danny: "Do It Again" sounds great in a set of '70s Latin jazz.
	4:26pm CupcakeJenny: I do not understand how anyone hates steely Dan. This is an amazing song.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - There's a great cover of Do It Again by Airto and Deodato
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Here's Michael!
	4:27pm ike p: thanks for posting the link! i'll be tuning that next
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 4:28pm Yvang: Thanks for the show's link Larry!
	4:28pm Dave: I grew up loving jazz so Steely Dan always made sense to me. They even do a cover of a Duke Ellington tune (East St. Louis Toodle-00) on Pretzel Logic.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: This amazing track produced by Gary Katz, keys by Donald Fagen
	🥁 4:30pm Yvang: Wow! I had not heard it since the eighties!
	4:30pm Little Danny: Wow yeah this has those instantly identifiable Becker/Fagen arrangements and jazzy harmonies.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: The only album she ever did: www.discogs.com...
	4:31pm Little Danny: Love it.
	4:32pm Little Danny: Do Fagen's solo LPs sound like Steely Dan? I've not heard them outside of a track or two.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hang on just a sec!
	4:33pm Little Danny: Ohhh thanks!
	4:33pm ike p: whoa
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: You tell me!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I recommend this and the Nightfly highly.
	4:34pm ike p: you two worked that out before the show didn't you :)
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I am all seeing, all knowing!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: When you get a sec look for the video of this song, which features Rick Moranis.
	4:35pm Little Danny: Maybe slightly more R&B-oriented, but definitely still sounds like Steely Dan!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Yes, smoother
	4:44pm Doug Schulkind: Sometime in the next 3-4 weeks a new show will be joining the Drummer Stream. It will be slotting in on Thursdays, 5-7pm, following Testify! and preceding Explorers Room. GET READY!
	4:45pm ike p: speaking of albums to revist with mature ears
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! I can't wait to find out about the show!
	🥁 4:45pm Brian in UK: Arc of Diver effortlessly Mind mind is sky when i wake up.
	4:45pm Jeff Ash: This show has been a flashback to the years that followed high school, which began 46 years ago tonight, when I graduated from high school.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: 46 years of congratulations!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: I can't honestly remember the date of our graduation, but the night following was a clusterfuck that 41 years hence I can laugh about (but just a bit).
	4:47pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners Possibly someone you know from the record hunting wars.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: That's intriguing!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: You hinted at Detroit, right?
	4:50pm Doug Schulkind: Detroit "adjacent." Closer to Kalamazoo.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Hmmmmm...
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry, for reaching the unreachable.
	4:53pm listener Rey: It seems we've strayed into Brazilian waters, Captain
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: I hope you enjoyed it, Brian!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @Rey - We have indeed!
	4:55pm Erica: Now we're back on American soil.
	4:56pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I think this is my first time ever tuning into 'Testify!' and I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Back in warm, sunny Southern California!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: He D Rok! Thanks!
	5:00pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry! Great show!
	5:04pm Erica: Awesome show Larry!
