	♥ 3:16pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, After our chat about the Valant the other night, I called my sister to clarify the details of the ill fated trip to Marineland. She informed me that she puked out the window on the Harbor Freeway and streaked the side of the car, not the black interior.

	♥ 3:24pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Little Danny!
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP!
	♥ 3:25pm Franco Twinkie: I suppose like a lot of kiddies, this song came to me via The Flying Burrito Brothers. No offence Gram, but please step away.
	♥ 3:26pm Phillippe: Hey LD!
	♥ 3:27pm Franco Twinkie: This too! Gram had good taste.
	3:28pm still b/p: When someone in about 1975 told me he was in a band called The Lost Bandito Band, I thought...too close a name-riff somehow on The Flying Burrito Brothers. Right?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: I always thought it was great to see a young country rock band doing soul tunes
	♥ 3:29pm WR: Sorry to hear of the C-19 trials and tribulations. Don't rush the recovery. PS: Every recording today is an out of the park home run today. Cool sequence from James Carr to The Glories version of Dark End of the Street.
	♥ 3:29pm Franco Twinkie: Frito Bandito and His Spicy Bean Dip Review.
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR. We're taking it easy. Boys are quarantined from school until next week.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: Franco @316 Haha! custom paint job solo i dig it! -240?
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: @WR - The next several songs are segues like that.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: hey Matt, Danny!
	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: hey Phillippe
	♥ 3:34pm Phillippe: What's up, coel? Hey Franco, solo, Mx Baba Bee
	♥ 3:34pm solo mon: Yeah coel 240!
	♥ 3:35pm solo mon: Phillippe how are ya??
	♥ 3:36pm Franco Twinkie: Phillippe! There is a killer hot French dip sandwich place in L.A. that was apparently named after you.
	♥ 3:36pm solo mon: Frito fingernails glued on with bean dip.
	♥ 3:37pm Franco Twinkie: THAT is glamor, Solo!
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: the last year for those, i think. i've kept my eyes open for an affordable 240 wagon w/manual transmission, preferably 1987-89... but suddenly 2-3 years ago everyone realised how great they are
	♥ 3:39pm Little Danny: wow!!!
	♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: Swamped at work, but gotta jump in for Otis! Hi!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:40pm ARB: Hi autophiles!
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: judy we hardly knew ye
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: arb!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey Arb!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This is a really strange album. Supposedly recorded live with a strange mix of material.
	♥ 3:42pm WR: Did not recognize Judy Henske. Need to revisit this album.
	♥ 3:42pm solo mon: Damn, Judy.
	3:43pm Erica: Judy had some strong vocals.
	♥ 3:43pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I gave my 240 wagon to Chresis son with the proviso that he get it out of our driveway. We flipped the registration and he drove it up to Vancouver, then brought it right back and dumped it in the driveway and split. Now it's full of tools with four flat tires. Kid!
	♥ 3:45pm WR: Ha. The two photos someone uploaded to her discogs page encapsulates our response to hearing that song. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:46pm coelacanth∅: greetings dr.j and ARB
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: She gets pigeonholed in the folk revival, but she was really a cabaret-style singer. Very diverse discography over the years
	♥ 3:47pm solo mon: Re Judy photo, YES!
	3:47pm Erica: Linda Divine is crazy good herself as well.
	♥ 3:47pm coelacanth∅: Franco is it worth fixing?
	♥ 3:48pm Franco Twinkie: WR, Judy lives in Pasadena. A guy I know was in her band. After a gig, he was talking to some fans and told them it wasn't their best night. Judy heard him, and he got fired on the spot.
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That Linda Divine LP is amazing
	♥ 3:49pm solo mon: There are people who collect 240s now. About once a month I have to shoo some guy away whose leaving a note on my car, wanting to buy it
	♥ 3:49pm coelacanth∅: good pix of Judy but they don't clue you that she's 6' tall!
	♥ 3:50pm coelacanth∅: (that is to say, there's some physical substance behind that powerful voice)
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I started to throw a rod in Big Sur. I drove it back to Pasadena chewing my fingernails. I got a new engine from a sister ship that had been t-boned. Front end linkage is kind of wonky.
	♥ 4:00pm coelacanth∅: man, that's the first time i'm ever hearing of a volvo throwing a rod!
	♥ 4:03pm coelacanth∅: solo i've had 5 240s. sadly only one of them might still exist now.
	♥ 4:06pm Franco Twinkie: This is what happened: I was driving down the freeway next to a big cement wall and could hear all this clackity clack bouncing back at me, so I got off and popped the hood. It was smoking real bad. I checked the oil and it was bone dry. I limped it to a Chief and topped it off, but I knew it was only a matter of time. I drove it a few more years before it snapped.
	4:08pm Erica: Well another bad thing happened. Eddie Mekka who played Carmine on Laverne & Shirley died at 69.
	♥ 4:08pm coelacanth∅: haha, a few more years- if it were a subaru it'd be toast before you got it home!
	♥ 4:11pm Franco Twinkie: Or a VW Square Back! My wagon had an aluminum block held together by steel tie end rods. Designed to fail.
	♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I just saw that. RIP The Big Ragu...
	4:15pm Erica: I found out from MeTV's Facebook page as well as a Yacht Rock group I'm in Larry.
	♥ 4:15pm Little Danny: gorgeous! never woulda guessed this was a motown thing, it has a real deep soul sound
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: It's on Tamla, but the work of Ed Cobb in LA
	♥ 4:21pm Franco Twinkie: I should be doing something, but I'm just swooning around in the living room. Thanks Larry.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, Franco!
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: The bass guitar on this track is crazy
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: wrecking crew production?
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: bass had that ticky tack carol kaye sound
	♥ 4:24pm coelacanth∅: Irma never fails me!
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Def recorded in LA, produced by a guy named Eddie Ray
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: Franco those squarebacks had aluminum blocks? ...i never would've considered that
	♥ 4:25pm WR: Yes! coel! Irma! I'm screaming. Even with all the amazing tunes you've played for the last 1.5 hour she still stands out. Particularly on great tune like that one. PS: these Rubaiyats or ruby Yats? Gotta have Toussaint finger prints all over this one.
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Not only his fingerprints, his voice, too. The Rubaiyats are he and Willia Harper. He wrote it, too
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: That's WILLIE Harper
	♥ 4:29pm WR: northguineahills fave clicked that Rubaiyats when you played it in 2020. Haven't noticed him in the comments in a couple of weeks. Anyone see him recently comment?
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Not in a couple of weeks.
	♥ 4:32pm WR: This John Williams gentleman new to me. Quick search says he was in the Clowns for a while.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: I think he was killed in he late 60s/early 70s
	♥ 4:34pm coelacanth∅: haha WR!
	4:34pm Erica: Yo WR!
	♥ 4:34pm Matt from New Orleans: Early 70s. Brother John was a tribute to him.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: little buster is so great
	♥ 4:35pm coelacanth∅: WR i just a few hours ago decided i'd try to contact northguineahills
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - BIG fave of mine
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: (was haha-ing for the first comment, not that...that which concerns me)
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Thanks
	♥ 4:36pm Little Danny: i know :)
	4:41pm still b/p: I've been listening to this Good Stuff on laptop ordinary speakers. I should re-listen on any better speakers later for sound-upgraded SO-Good-Stuff enjoyment.
	♥ 4:42pm Little Danny: finished up work for the day and setting forth, thanks as always for your excellent tastes larry!

	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: oh larry do you know O.V.'s "Gone For Good" 45 on Back Beat? one of my fave ballads by him, just devastating
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: ❤️️ solo
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I do not. I'll look for it.
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: you will dig it i promise!!!
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: I have no doubt!
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: maybe i'm typical but 8 men 8 women kills me over and over
	♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: Also a classic!
	♥ 4:47pm coelacanth∅: (heh - 8 men and 4 women)
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: so who do i know this song by? 'never heard this version
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: The only version I'm aware of
	♥ 4:49pm WR: Brogan shoes, we would have been very happy to have brogan shoes. (monty python...)
	♥ 4:49pm coelacanth∅: -that's how i feel i mean
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Written by Covay and Bobby Womack but as far as I know the only version is by the Soul Clan
	♥ 4:50pm WR: That's How I feel recycled a few choice phrases. Very interesting to hear Reid in the context of today's episode.
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: This is my favorite version of the song.

	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: WR! Dreamy!
	♥ 3:08pm coelacanth∅: you've had a nice variety of vehicles Franco
	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica! It was a disaster! More on that at the break!
	3:09pm Erica: Ugh today's been awful. My internet connection keeps acting up and my brother had to get Verizon to fix it, only for them to accidentally shatter our window.
	♥ 3:09pm Franco Twinkie: Erica Kane! Long time no see.
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Yikes!
	3:09pm Erica: On top of that, our cat's been naughty. She clawed my brother's nose when he looked out the window.
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: That window is bad luck!
	3:10pm Erica: Very funny Franco lol. Great to chat with you again too.
	♥ 3:10pm solo mon: Amazing selection so far, heart ache for lunch.
	♥ 3:10pm Franco Twinkie: Like you Coel, I've always liked a fine ride.
	3:11pm Erica: Anyway I hope the window gets fixed soon.
	♥ 3:11pm coelacanth∅: optimum is full of what my internet has been: shit.
	♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: @Solo - Thanks! Lots more to come!
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: true Franco, though i've had volvos on a 10-1 ratio to all other makes!
	♥ 3:15pm solo mon: Coela- I’m sitting in a 93 Volvo white wagon right now. Love this car.
	♥ 3:15pm Little Danny: hey larry hey all!
	♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	♥ 3:16pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, After our chat about the Valant the other night, I called my sister to clarify the details of the ill fated trip to Marineland. She informed me that she puked out the window on the Harbor Freeway and streaked the side of the car, not the black interior.
	♥ 3:16pm solo mon: LD!
	♥ 3:18pm solo mon: OH MY Gawdddddddd!!!
	♥ 3:18pm Franco Twinkie: Oh no!
	♥ 3:19pm Jan Turkenburg: owwww, so sorry to hear that, Larry
	♥ 3:19pm dreamyandseedy: damn Larry! sorry to hear that, glad no one is sick enough to warrant a hospital visit
	♥ 3:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Wow, Larry—love and healing vibes to you and your family.
	3:19pm still b/p: Swift and full recovery wished for all. This effing effing effing thing!

	♥ 3:21pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Coel, Danny & SBP

	3:24pm still b/p: Working with public event currently while other public and performing events are again hit with cases and shutdowns. Tentativeland. Good afternoon to all ballad ears.
	♥ 3:24pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Little Danny!
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP!
	♥ 3:25pm Franco Twinkie: I suppose like a lot of kiddies, this song came to me via The Flying Burrito Brothers. No offence Gram, but please step away.
	♥ 3:26pm Phillippe: Hey LD!
	♥ 3:27pm Franco Twinkie: This too! Gram had good taste.
	3:28pm still b/p: When someone in about 1975 told me he was in a band called The Lost Bandito Band, I thought...too close a name-riff somehow on The Flying Burrito Brothers. Right?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: I always thought it was great to see a young country rock band doing soul tunes
	♥ 3:29pm WR: Sorry to hear of the C-19 trials and tribulations. Don't rush the recovery. PS: Every recording today is an out of the park home run today. Cool sequence from James Carr to The Glories version of Dark End of the Street.
	♥ 3:29pm Franco Twinkie: Frito Bandito and His Spicy Bean Dip Review.
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR. We're taking it easy. Boys are quarantined from school until next week.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: Franco @316 Haha! custom paint job solo i dig it! -240?
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: @WR - The next several songs are segues like that.
	♥ 3:30pm coelacanth∅: hey Matt, Danny!
	♥ 3:33pm coelacanth∅: hey Phillippe
	♥ 3:34pm Phillippe: What's up, coel? Hey Franco, solo, Mx Baba Bee
	♥ 3:34pm solo mon: Yeah coel 240!
	♥ 3:35pm solo mon: Phillippe how are ya??
	♥ 3:36pm Franco Twinkie: Phillippe! There is a killer hot French dip sandwich place in L.A. that was apparently named after you.
	♥ 3:36pm solo mon: Frito fingernails glued on with bean dip.
	♥ 3:37pm Franco Twinkie: THAT is glamor, Solo!
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth∅: the last year for those, i think. i've kept my eyes open for an affordable 240 wagon w/manual transmission, preferably 1987-89... but suddenly 2-3 years ago everyone realised how great they are
	♥ 3:39pm Little Danny: wow!!!
	♥ 3:39pm doctorjazz: Swamped at work, but gotta jump in for Otis! Hi!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:40pm ARB: Hi autophiles!
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: judy we hardly knew ye
	♥ 3:40pm Little Danny: arb!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey Arb!
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This is a really strange album. Supposedly recorded live with a strange mix of material.
	♥ 3:42pm WR: Did not recognize Judy Henske. Need to revisit this album.
	♥ 3:42pm solo mon: Damn, Judy.
	3:43pm Erica: Judy had some strong vocals.
	♥ 3:43pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I gave my 240 wagon to Chresis son with the proviso that he get it out of our driveway. We flipped the registration and he drove it up to Vancouver, then brought it right back and dumped it in the driveway and split. Now it's full of tools with four flat tires. Kid!
	♥ 3:45pm WR: Ha. The two photos someone uploaded to her discogs page encapsulates our response to hearing that song. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:46pm coelacanth∅: greetings dr.j and ARB
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: She gets pigeonholed in the folk revival, but she was really a cabaret-style singer. Very diverse discography over the years
	♥ 3:47pm solo mon: Re Judy photo, YES!
	3:47pm Erica: Linda Divine is crazy good herself as well.
	♥ 3:47pm coelacanth∅: Franco is it worth fixing?
	♥ 3:48pm Franco Twinkie: WR, Judy lives in Pasadena. A guy I know was in her band. After a gig, he was talking to some fans and told them it wasn't their best night. Judy heard him, and he got fired on the spot.
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That Linda Divine LP is amazing
	♥ 3:49pm solo mon: There are people who collect 240s now. About once a month I have to shoo some guy away whose leaving a note on my car, wanting to buy it
	♥ 3:49pm coelacanth∅: good pix of Judy but they don't clue you that she's 6' tall!
	♥ 3:50pm coelacanth∅: (that is to say, there's some physical substance behind that powerful voice)
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I started to throw a rod in Big Sur. I drove it back to Pasadena chewing my fingernails. I got a new engine from a sister ship that had been t-boned. Front end linkage is kind of wonky.
	♥ 4:00pm coelacanth∅: man, that's the first time i'm ever hearing of a volvo throwing a rod!
	♥ 4:03pm coelacanth∅: solo i've had 5 240s. sadly only one of them might still exist now.
	♥ 4:06pm Franco Twinkie: This is what happened: I was driving down the freeway next to a big cement wall and could hear all this clackity clack bouncing back at me, so I got off and popped the hood. It was smoking real bad. I checked the oil and it was bone dry. I limped it to a Chief and topped it off, but I knew it was only a matter of time. I drove it a few more years before it snapped.
	4:08pm Erica: Well another bad thing happened. Eddie Mekka who played Carmine on Laverne & Shirley died at 69.
	♥ 4:08pm coelacanth∅: haha, a few more years- if it were a subaru it'd be toast before you got it home!
	♥ 4:11pm Franco Twinkie: Or a VW Square Back! My wagon had an aluminum block held together by steel tie end rods. Designed to fail.
	♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I just saw that. RIP The Big Ragu...
	4:15pm Erica: I found out from MeTV's Facebook page as well as a Yacht Rock group I'm in Larry.
	♥ 4:15pm Little Danny: gorgeous! never woulda guessed this was a motown thing, it has a real deep soul sound
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: It's on Tamla, but the work of Ed Cobb in LA
	♥ 4:21pm Franco Twinkie: I should be doing something, but I'm just swooning around in the living room. Thanks Larry.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, Franco!
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: The bass guitar on this track is crazy
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: wrecking crew production?
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: bass had that ticky tack carol kaye sound
	♥ 4:24pm coelacanth∅: Irma never fails me!
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Def recorded in LA, produced by a guy named Eddie Ray
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: Franco those squarebacks had aluminum blocks? ...i never would've considered that
	♥ 4:25pm WR: Yes! coel! Irma! I'm screaming. Even with all the amazing tunes you've played for the last 1.5 hour she still stands out. Particularly on great tune like that one. PS: these Rubaiyats or ruby Yats? Gotta have Toussaint finger prints all over this one.
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: Not only his fingerprints, his voice, too. The Rubaiyats are he and Willia Harper. He wrote it, too
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: That's WILLIE Harper
	♥ 4:29pm WR: northguineahills fave clicked that Rubaiyats when you played it in 2020. Haven't noticed him in the comments in a couple of weeks. Anyone see him recently comment?
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Not in a couple of weeks.
	♥ 4:32pm WR: This John Williams gentleman new to me. Quick search says he was in the Clowns for a while.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: I think he was killed in he late 60s/early 70s
	♥ 4:34pm coelacanth∅: haha WR!
	4:34pm Erica: Yo WR!
	♥ 4:34pm Matt from New Orleans: Early 70s. Brother John was a tribute to him.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: little buster is so great
	♥ 4:35pm coelacanth∅: WR i just a few hours ago decided i'd try to contact northguineahills
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - BIG fave of mine
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: (was haha-ing for the first comment, not that...that which concerns me)
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Thanks
	♥ 4:36pm Little Danny: i know :)
	4:41pm still b/p: I've been listening to this Good Stuff on laptop ordinary speakers. I should re-listen on any better speakers later for sound-upgraded SO-Good-Stuff enjoyment.

	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I do not. I'll look for it.
	♥ 4:44pm Little Danny: you will dig it i promise!!!

	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: maybe i'm typical but 8 men 8 women kills me over and over

	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: The only version I'm aware of
	♥ 4:49pm WR: Brogan shoes, we would have been very happy to have brogan shoes. (monty python...)
	♥ 4:49pm coelacanth∅: -that's how i feel i mean
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Written by Covay and Bobby Womack but as far as I know the only version is by the Soul Clan
