	12:10pm zzz: oooh testify, and happy friday boogaloo'ers!
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: Whatup zzz?
	12:11pm BillD: Larry cooks on the radio (and at home)
	12:11pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah!
	12:12pm Funky16Corners: Mini roots of Santana set
	12:13pm Irene Trudel: Cool!
	12:15pm zzz: boogaloo the term is so interesting to me.. some of my favorite music ever is late 60s jazz boogaloo (mainly of the blue note variety) which is diff vibe from a lot of the classic latin boogaloo.
	12:15pm zzz: but this carlos malcolm has that kind of flavor.
	12:16pm Jay S: Hi from San Francisco! Thanks for the great music today.
	12:16pm Funky16Corners: I'd love to see a detailed etymology of boogaloo, and how it passed back and forth between Black and Latin cultures
	12:17pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jay!
	12:17pm Funky16Corners: SHALL WE DO THE BOOGALOO??
	12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Barley twenty minutes into the show and this is already the designated exercise sound track for the summer.
	12:20pm Michael 98145: 🌞🎵
	12:24pm Phillippe: Howdy
	12:25pm Stork: Yow, Larry! You got me flyin' ovah heah!
	12:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	12:26pm Jeff Ash: Swinging in from Wisconsin! Greetings all!
	12:26pm Funky16Corners: The picture at the top of the playlist is the Joe Cuba Sextet from the picture sleeve of this 45. Joe Cuba front and center
	12:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	12:29pm Funky16Corners: I believe that this was originally written about an unpleasant experience with racism, thus the "never go back to Georgia"
	12:31pm doctorjazz: Hola!
	12:31pm Funky16Corners: This is Nino Tempo (as in 'and April Stevens') in his capacity as tenor sax player
	12:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:35pm zivilars: great show, Larry!
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars!
	12:40pm Franco Twinkie: This is the only kind of party I want to go to!
	12:40pm JB from NP: Hi Larry, good to hear you
	12:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey JB!
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Hector gives good party!
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: Oops, el skippo...
	12:45pm Franco Twinkie: Nando and His Shing-A-Lings, oh man, that is just too good!
	12:45pm Eric Kilkenny: You had me at Booga but I'm digging the Loo too
	12:45pm Funky16Corners: Hi Eric!
	12:45pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Eric!
	12:48pm Stork: Okay, yellow card, Larry! You can't just boogaloo your listeners and then immediately, sans intermezzo, shing-a-ling them. Larry, this could mean a suspension - nay expulsion! Doug wants to see you in his office at your nearest convenience. Meanwhile - kindly carry on! This is audio crack.
	12:50pm Phillippe: Julie is awesome
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I can boogaloo and shingaling with equal verve and skill. I am ambidextrous in regard to all the great Latin party sounds!
	12:54pm Irene Trudel: The horn into reminded me of the Teaberry Shuffle ad.
	🥁 12:55pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it!
	12:56pm Funky16Corners: @Irene - Wasn't the Teaberry Shuffle a version of Tijuana Taxi (or some other Herb Alpert song)?
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: I just looked it up, it's an adaptation of The Mexican Shuffle
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: Everyone! "The Soul Drummers!"
	12:59pm Funky16Corners: Give the Drummer Some!
	1:00pm Jeff Ash: Another of the records I've found after being hepped to it by you! Plus Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria and probably more still to come today.
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Did you find the 45 or the LP?
	1:01pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners Now you're talking my language!
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	🥁 1:03pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Love this version! The first time I heard the Donovan song I was in a VW Bug with a high school friend driving into the snow of Mt. Rainier
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip somewhere of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 on (I think) the Andy Williams Show
	1:05pm Jeff Ash: All the Latin soul and boogaloo I have is on LP.
	1:06pm JB from NP: I'm still here Larry, really enjoying the spectacular Spectacular!
	1:06pm zivilars: man, I love today's episode ... I'm missing "Testify!" too often live on air, this has to change
	1:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks JB!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - The Archives are always fresh and tasty!
	1:07pm zivilars: Thank god for WFMU archives, best thing ever!
	1:07pm KevinfromBayRidge: And a Hinky Boogaloo to you! When the Unc's are away, the Testifiers will play!
	1:08pm JB from NP: @zivilars Yeah same here, usually bad timing. The archives are the greatest contribution to society, and my well being!
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: And now, straight from any number of TV commercials
	1:08pm zivilars: @JB: well put!
	1:09pm Maggie B.: I am seriously digging all the boogalu! Sounds like my childhood.
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: Great album cover: www.discogs.com...
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Maggie! Much more to come!
	1:18pm MrCrispy: Lovvvvvvin' the show - this is perfect music to listen to in the boiling Pac NW right now!
	1:18pm Funky16Corners: Hey MrCrispy!
	1:25pm Irene Trudel: Great stuff today (as always)!
	1:26pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, hi y'all.
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Irene! Hi Danny!
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: This amazing song written by Jimmy Sabater, the man who stands second from right in the picture at the top of the playlist
	1:30pm Little Danny: Hard to beat these classic Joe Cuba recordings. Everything is rhythm.
	1:30pm Funky16Corners: Sample alert!
	1:32pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Absolutely loving today’s show!!
	1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Diggin' some Booglooz ! So good...
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UH - looooz...
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rev!
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	🥁 1:35pm Brian in UK: Cookin' show. Those Fania shows way back must have been fun.
	1:36pm KevinfromBayRidge: I have to move the music out to the backyard. Gonna be some Funky Gardening!
	1:37pm Funky16Corners: I've seen a poster for a show in either 67 or 68 in the Bronx that featured almost every major star of the Latin soul scene. I've been trying to find it.
	1:37pm Funky16Corners: Don't dig too deep, Kevin!
	1:40pm Funky16Corners: Got some bubble-boogaloo up next!
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: These guys were NOT Latino, but the work of Senors Kasenetz y Katz!
	1:41pm Little Danny: Wow, crazy. Totally bubble-loo.
	1:42pm Little Danny: I wanna say that some incarnation of the Strangeloves also made a Latin soul record.
	🥁 1:42pm Brian in UK: Ah Kama Sutra, a varied label shall we say..
	1:43pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That would not surprise me at all.
	1:48pm Funky16Corners: This is - believe it or not - a cover of a Buffalo Springfield song
	1:49pm Franco Twinkie: iEso es, chingon!
	1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Santana also covered this, but I don't know if they ever released it officially.
	1:52pm TDK60: What a party. I thought I recalled that. Stephen Stills was into Latin.
	1:52pm Phillippe: Cool song.
	1:53pm Funky16Corners: It's also covered on an album by a group called The Giants which featured a bunch of guys from Santana
	1:53pm Franco Twinkie: SF Giants, of course.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: You're right! I've never seen that album, I have a 12" single just billed to The Giants
	1:54pm Little Danny: Franco, just thinking about you. Found some Savage Eye clips, saw it years ago, appreciating it anew!
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: Isn't amazing? Most of if has this ominous male voice over that is very judgemental about the woman(Barbara Baxely)s lifestyle. Totally wrongheaded by todays standards, but kind of hilarious none the less.
	2:01pm Little Danny: Yes, totally, very moralistic voice. But the camera compositions are great and empathetic in the style of a photographer like Diane Arbus.
	2:02pm Little Danny: Loving this set, Larry.
	2:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	2:04pm Little Danny: Such a summer-y groove, this Joe Bataan.
	2:04pm Funky16Corners: Deodato cover!
	2:11pm Little Danny: Nicely done.
	2:12pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, social realism with a noir sensibility in the harsh L.A. sunlight.
	2:13pm Jeff g. via app: Almost to Connecticut. Thanks for making the ride groovy, Larry.
	2:13pm Andres: T’were Fabio opening theme, briefly. Love it!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I shoudl have grabbed the Candido version, too!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Safe travels!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Which song?
	2:16pm Michael 98145: Would love to have had these 45s
	2:17pm Funky16Corners: It took me a while to track down a decent copy of this one.
	2:17pm Andres: Larry, Jin-Go-Lo-Ba plays for a few bars (I think) before Giant Man kicks in for his show opener.
	2:17pm Funky16Corners: Ah, OK.
	2:19pm Funky16Corners: MAMI!!
	2:19pm TDK60: Ah that's right, Andres; don't know why. Don't care for Giant Man though.
	2:19pm Andres: Tighten Up riff?
	2:20pm Little Danny: Totally, Andres.
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - HUGE Tighten Up ripoff!
	2:21pm Andres: Thanks, gents! Love that riff wherever I hear it.
	2:22pm Little Danny: The TNT Band had another 45 ("Musica del alma") that was perhaps even more overt.
	2:22pm Funky16Corners: Another sample alert coming up next!
	2:22pm Little Danny: The "Tighten Up" groove is magic.
	2:24pm Funky16Corners: Orchestra Harlow also does 'Horsin' Up'!
	2:28pm Rob W: Thanks for this show Larry, I'm taking notes! (I'm not kidding!)
	2:29pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Rob!
	2:45pm Little Danny: Did not know this came out on 45. Love Louie Ramirez.
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: This was a hard to find (and expensive) 45. I first heard it on a mixtape and had to have it.
	2:46pm Funky16Corners: Not super expensive, but at the time 50/60 bucks was "expensive"
	2:46pm Little Danny: I hear ya.
	2:47pm Michael 98145: This has been great ... great archive forever!! Gracias!
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: For all those early Santana fans out there, I would like to recommend Santana At Tanglewood in 1970 on Youtube. They burn the place to the ground.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: I've seen that (and concur)
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Ralfi Pagan = Neil Young meets Bread in Spanish Harlem
	2:48pm Michael 98145: @FT, i think Michael Shrieve still lives here in Seattle
	2:49pm TDK60: Thanks for that Franco. I dig Santana. And I saw some great shows at Tanglewood eons ago.
	2:50pm Franco Twinkie: Lucky you TDK!
	2:51pm Franco Twinkie: Michael Shrieve was a force of nature back then.
	2:52pm Jeff Ash: Perfect timing! The show ends just as my work week ends. Thanks, Larry! Enjoy your weekend!
	2:52pm TDK60: I did see Santana later, in '76 in Pittsburgh; billed with Eric Clapton. Do I need to tell you which band stole the show, was muy caliente?
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Love love love Ralfi Pagan.
	2:54pm Franco Twinkie: This show has made me so happy! Thank you Larry, you have set the pace for a bitchin' weekend.
	2:54pm Doug Schulkind: Years ago, friends of mine found Joe Bataan in the phone book. Called him up and asked him to perform at their wedding—and he did!
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: WOW!
	2:56pm Little Danny: Thank you Larry.
	2:56pm Andres: Thank you, Larry!! Start to finish, such a great show!!
	2:56pm TDK60: Patrick Sky! Will try to listen in. \| Thanks for the boogaloo y etc. Larry!
	2:56pm MrCrispy: Amazing show - thanks!!!
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	2:59pm Alex In Illinois: Now I want to learn how to Shing-a-ling and Boogaloo

	12:16pm Funky16Corners: I'd love to see a detailed etymology of boogaloo, and how it passed back and forth between Black and Latin cultures
	12:17pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jay!
	12:17pm Funky16Corners: SHALL WE DO THE BOOGALOO??
	12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Barley twenty minutes into the show and this is already the designated exercise sound track for the summer.
	12:20pm Michael 98145: 🌞🎵
	12:24pm Phillippe: Howdy
	12:25pm Stork: Yow, Larry! You got me flyin' ovah heah!
	12:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	12:26pm Jeff Ash: Swinging in from Wisconsin! Greetings all!
	12:26pm Funky16Corners: The picture at the top of the playlist is the Joe Cuba Sextet from the picture sleeve of this 45. Joe Cuba front and center
	12:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	12:29pm Funky16Corners: I believe that this was originally written about an unpleasant experience with racism, thus the "never go back to Georgia"
	12:31pm doctorjazz: Hola!
	12:31pm Funky16Corners: This is Nino Tempo (as in 'and April Stevens') in his capacity as tenor sax player
	12:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:35pm zivilars: great show, Larry!
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: Thanks zivilars!
	12:40pm Franco Twinkie: This is the only kind of party I want to go to!
	12:40pm JB from NP: Hi Larry, good to hear you
	12:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey JB!
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Hector gives good party!
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: Oops, el skippo...
	12:45pm Franco Twinkie: Nando and His Shing-A-Lings, oh man, that is just too good!
	12:45pm Eric Kilkenny: You had me at Booga but I'm digging the Loo too
	12:45pm Funky16Corners: Hi Eric!
	12:45pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Eric!
	12:48pm Stork: Okay, yellow card, Larry! You can't just boogaloo your listeners and then immediately, sans intermezzo, shing-a-ling them. Larry, this could mean a suspension - nay expulsion! Doug wants to see you in his office at your nearest convenience. Meanwhile - kindly carry on! This is audio crack.
	12:50pm Phillippe: Julie is awesome
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I can boogaloo and shingaling with equal verve and skill. I am ambidextrous in regard to all the great Latin party sounds!
	12:54pm Irene Trudel: The horn into reminded me of the Teaberry Shuffle ad.
	🥁 12:55pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it!
	12:56pm Funky16Corners: @Irene - Wasn't the Teaberry Shuffle a version of Tijuana Taxi (or some other Herb Alpert song)?
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: I just looked it up, it's an adaptation of The Mexican Shuffle
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: Everyone! "The Soul Drummers!"
	12:59pm Funky16Corners: Give the Drummer Some!
	1:00pm Jeff Ash: Another of the records I've found after being hepped to it by you! Plus Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria and probably more still to come today.
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Did you find the 45 or the LP?
	1:01pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners Now you're talking my language!
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	🥁 1:03pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Love this version! The first time I heard the Donovan song I was in a VW Bug with a high school friend driving into the snow of Mt. Rainier
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip somewhere of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 on (I think) the Andy Williams Show
	1:05pm Jeff Ash: All the Latin soul and boogaloo I have is on LP.
	1:06pm JB from NP: I'm still here Larry, really enjoying the spectacular Spectacular!
	1:06pm zivilars: man, I love today's episode ... I'm missing "Testify!" too often live on air, this has to change
	1:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks JB!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - The Archives are always fresh and tasty!
	1:07pm zivilars: Thank god for WFMU archives, best thing ever!
	1:07pm KevinfromBayRidge: And a Hinky Boogaloo to you! When the Unc's are away, the Testifiers will play!
	1:08pm JB from NP: @zivilars Yeah same here, usually bad timing. The archives are the greatest contribution to society, and my well being!
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: And now, straight from any number of TV commercials
	1:08pm zivilars: @JB: well put!
	1:09pm Maggie B.: I am seriously digging all the boogalu! Sounds like my childhood.
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: Great album cover: www.discogs.com...
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Maggie! Much more to come!
	1:18pm MrCrispy: Lovvvvvvin' the show - this is perfect music to listen to in the boiling Pac NW right now!
	1:18pm Funky16Corners: Hey MrCrispy!
	1:25pm Irene Trudel: Great stuff today (as always)!
	1:26pm Little Danny: Hi Larry, hi y'all.
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Irene! Hi Danny!
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: This amazing song written by Jimmy Sabater, the man who stands second from right in the picture at the top of the playlist
	1:30pm Little Danny: Hard to beat these classic Joe Cuba recordings. Everything is rhythm.
	1:30pm Funky16Corners: Sample alert!
	1:32pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Absolutely loving today’s show!!
	1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Diggin' some Booglooz ! So good...
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UH - looooz...
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rev!
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	🥁 1:35pm Brian in UK: Cookin' show. Those Fania shows way back must have been fun.
	1:36pm KevinfromBayRidge: I have to move the music out to the backyard. Gonna be some Funky Gardening!
	1:37pm Funky16Corners: I've seen a poster for a show in either 67 or 68 in the Bronx that featured almost every major star of the Latin soul scene. I've been trying to find it.
	1:37pm Funky16Corners: Don't dig too deep, Kevin!
	1:40pm Funky16Corners: Got some bubble-boogaloo up next!
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: These guys were NOT Latino, but the work of Senors Kasenetz y Katz!
	1:41pm Little Danny: Wow, crazy. Totally bubble-loo.
	1:42pm Little Danny: I wanna say that some incarnation of the Strangeloves also made a Latin soul record.
	🥁 1:42pm Brian in UK: Ah Kama Sutra, a varied label shall we say..
	1:43pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That would not surprise me at all.
	1:48pm Funky16Corners: This is - believe it or not - a cover of a Buffalo Springfield song
	1:49pm Franco Twinkie: iEso es, chingon!
	1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Santana also covered this, but I don't know if they ever released it officially.
	1:52pm TDK60: What a party. I thought I recalled that. Stephen Stills was into Latin.
	1:52pm Phillippe: Cool song.
	1:53pm Funky16Corners: It's also covered on an album by a group called The Giants which featured a bunch of guys from Santana
	1:53pm Franco Twinkie: SF Giants, of course.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: You're right! I've never seen that album, I have a 12" single just billed to The Giants
	1:54pm Little Danny: Franco, just thinking about you. Found some Savage Eye clips, saw it years ago, appreciating it anew!
	1:59pm Franco Twinkie: Isn't amazing? Most of if has this ominous male voice over that is very judgemental about the woman(Barbara Baxely)s lifestyle. Totally wrongheaded by todays standards, but kind of hilarious none the less.
	2:01pm Little Danny: Yes, totally, very moralistic voice. But the camera compositions are great and empathetic in the style of a photographer like Diane Arbus.
	2:02pm Little Danny: Loving this set, Larry.
	2:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	2:04pm Little Danny: Such a summer-y groove, this Joe Bataan.
	2:04pm Funky16Corners: Deodato cover!
	2:11pm Little Danny: Nicely done.
	2:12pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, social realism with a noir sensibility in the harsh L.A. sunlight.
	2:13pm Jeff g. via app: Almost to Connecticut. Thanks for making the ride groovy, Larry.
	2:13pm Andres: T’were Fabio opening theme, briefly. Love it!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I shoudl have grabbed the Candido version, too!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Safe travels!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Which song?
	2:16pm Michael 98145: Would love to have had these 45s
	2:17pm Funky16Corners: It took me a while to track down a decent copy of this one.
	2:17pm Andres: Larry, Jin-Go-Lo-Ba plays for a few bars (I think) before Giant Man kicks in for his show opener.
	2:17pm Funky16Corners: Ah, OK.
	2:19pm Funky16Corners: MAMI!!
	2:19pm TDK60: Ah that's right, Andres; don't know why. Don't care for Giant Man though.
	2:19pm Andres: Tighten Up riff?
	2:20pm Little Danny: Totally, Andres.
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - HUGE Tighten Up ripoff!
	2:21pm Andres: Thanks, gents! Love that riff wherever I hear it.
	2:22pm Little Danny: The TNT Band had another 45 ("Musica del alma") that was perhaps even more overt.
	2:22pm Funky16Corners: Another sample alert coming up next!
	2:22pm Little Danny: The "Tighten Up" groove is magic.
	2:24pm Funky16Corners: Orchestra Harlow also does 'Horsin' Up'!
	2:28pm Rob W: Thanks for this show Larry, I'm taking notes! (I'm not kidding!)
	2:29pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Rob!
	2:45pm Little Danny: Did not know this came out on 45. Love Louie Ramirez.
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: This was a hard to find (and expensive) 45. I first heard it on a mixtape and had to have it.
	2:46pm Funky16Corners: Not super expensive, but at the time 50/60 bucks was "expensive"
	2:46pm Little Danny: I hear ya.
	2:47pm Michael 98145: This has been great ... great archive forever!! Gracias!
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: For all those early Santana fans out there, I would like to recommend Santana At Tanglewood in 1970 on Youtube. They burn the place to the ground.
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: I've seen that (and concur)
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: Ralfi Pagan = Neil Young meets Bread in Spanish Harlem
	2:48pm Michael 98145: @FT, i think Michael Shrieve still lives here in Seattle
	2:49pm TDK60: Thanks for that Franco. I dig Santana. And I saw some great shows at Tanglewood eons ago.
	2:50pm Franco Twinkie: Lucky you TDK!
	2:51pm Franco Twinkie: Michael Shrieve was a force of nature back then.
	2:52pm Jeff Ash: Perfect timing! The show ends just as my work week ends. Thanks, Larry! Enjoy your weekend!
	2:52pm TDK60: I did see Santana later, in '76 in Pittsburgh; billed with Eric Clapton. Do I need to tell you which band stole the show, was muy caliente?
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Love love love Ralfi Pagan.
	2:54pm Franco Twinkie: This show has made me so happy! Thank you Larry, you have set the pace for a bitchin' weekend.
	2:54pm Doug Schulkind: Years ago, friends of mine found Joe Bataan in the phone book. Called him up and asked him to perform at their wedding—and he did!
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: WOW!
	2:56pm Little Danny: Thank you Larry.
	2:56pm Andres: Thank you, Larry!! Start to finish, such a great show!!
	2:56pm TDK60: Patrick Sky! Will try to listen in. \| Thanks for the boogaloo y etc. Larry!
	2:56pm MrCrispy: Amazing show - thanks!!!
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	2:59pm Alex In Illinois: Now I want to learn how to Shing-a-ling and Boogaloo
