	3:09pm Erica: Mostly things are the same except it feels empty without my Ashley.
	3:10pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I understand completely. I love our cats and would be crushed if we lost them.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: hey Dreamy!
	3:12pm Erica: Agreed Larry. Sorry to bum anyone out. I just can't get used to the change yet.

	3:20pm Funky16Corners: Fred and Young Holt: https://youtu.be/jG3IX7ig4rs
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: Phillippe! WR!
	3:21pm Phillippe: I'm sorry to hear about Ashley, Erica. Virtual hugs heading your way
	3:28pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello Testifiers All. Cruisin( on my couch) with this wunnerful soundtrack. You might actually make me dance outside to pick figs & tomatoes!
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: This is the song Dave and Ansil Collins stole for Double Barrell
	3:31pm KevinfromBayRidge: Sorry Erica. We lost our two dogs this winter.
	3:35pm Erica: It just happened so soon though.
	3:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: The tracks from this album feature a pre-EWF Maurice White on drums
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:37pm Erica: She was getting skinner and wouldn't eat or drink much anymore. I thought it was just a toothache or constipation but then she struggled to breathe. And then yesterday morning she was gone.
	🥁 3:38pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:38pm Phillippe: That's hard. We've lost so many pets over the years, and it's never easy.
	🥁 3:40pm Brian in UK: Erica, I feel your pain. we lost an old boy cat on 1st June, then a ten year old beagle with less than 24 hours notice three weeks ago. Still adjusting. X
	3:40pm Erica: I know. My mom took it harder than me. She couldn't stop crying.
	🥁 3:52pm WR: I've been looking up Roy Meriwether and was about to comment how surprised I am to not remember having heard of him and then you play two more new to me artists in this vein from late 60s.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: Meriwether had a bunch of albums but never really broke through to a bigger audience. That version of 'Get the Buzz' was from a private press album.
	3:54pm Erica: Rubber Soul Jazz...now I can see where the term soul jazz came from.
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: It was around way before this album.
	3:57pm Erica: Duly noted Larry.
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: This was just a pun on the Beatles Rubber Soul, since the album is all covers of that album's songs.
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Did Ray Bryant sell at the time?
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: He had one early chart hit with 'Madison Time' but nothing after that, but somebody was buying his records because I see them around a lot.
	🥁 4:18pm WR: Looking at the The Music Company recording and with Randi doing all the arrangements and probably the piano too, so you played two Don Randi Beatles tracks in a row.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: I mentioned that. Basically the same groups
	🥁 4:20pm WR: Ray Bryant sold ok. No hits that I remember like McCann and Ramsey Lewis had, but ok enough to keep recording.
	🥁 4:22pm WR: That Junior Mance track was fun.
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed! I have the 45, but keep looking for the album.
	4:26pm CalZone!: Late to the party, but here I is! Howdy LG and Groganites!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Cal!
	🥁 4:29pm WR: Curious, I have the Mance albums before and after that one, and with Billy Cobham, Gale and Rainey as rhythm i would have got it if i had seen it. Wonder what happened with that one.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: I don't think I've ever seen it in the wild. Maybe it's scarce?
	🥁 4:32pm WR: The 45 seemed short, the album version says over 4 minutes.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: 45 was only 2:27
	🥁 4:32pm WR: Dee Felice, another new to me artist. Nice
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Produced by James Brown!
	4:38pm Doug Schulkind: The Grogmeister!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: Don't forget,when I'm done, stay tuned for Mike L filling in for Kip and Discothech Underground: wfmu.org...
	4:41pm Doug Schulkind: And as FMU old-timers know, that means the beloved Mike Lupica will be manning the wheels of steel!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Doug, are there any memorials to Garner in Pittsburgh?
	4:51pm Doug Schulkind: Good question, F16C. I'm seem to recall seeing a "once lived here" plaque outside a house. But that might have been for Billy Eckstine.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Strayhorn, too.
	4:54pm Doug Schulkind: There a theater named for Sweet Pea Strayhorn (and Gene Kelly) about 10 minutes from my house.
	4:54pm CalZone!: Great groove on this MLW!
	4:57pm Erica: Another groovy show Larry.
	🥁 4:59pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	4:59pm Doug Schulkind: That last set was masterful. (The rest was no slouch.)
	🥁 4:59pm WR: Thank you Larry!
	5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
