	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	♥ 3:27pm Brian in UK: What-ho Larry. Loved your Macbeth.
	3:27pm Erica: @Brian It's bad luck to say Macbeth (Simpsons reference).
	♥ 3:29pm Michael 98145: Probably also bad luck to say Brexit
	♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Hello Testifiers!
	3:31pm Erica: The world of Hogwarts.
	♥ 3:32pm Michael 98145: Salutations, Dr Sponsor
	♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Erica, och the Scottish play.
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! Brian!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: No legs breaking today!
	3:35pm Erica: @Brian Auch, DOONTOON!
	3:37pm CalZone!: Andrew Sandoval did a great Tony Hazzard show a cpl weeks ago. Also Buffalo Billycan is one of my all time fave raves!
	3:38pm Erica: I just started hearing Andrew Sandoval's show on Monday with the Cowsills. The thing is, his show comes on before and after Orange Peel, who works for Andrew.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Ca; - Hazzard wrote a bunch of great songs for other artists
	♥ 3:39pm Paul from Owen Sound: Fox on the Run
	3:40pm Erica: The Bea-tles!!
	♥ 3:40pm Brian in UK: A lot of English bands were playing R'nB in the early Sixties, then grew their hair and found whimsy. Zoot Money is a good example His big band becoming Dantalions Chariot.
	3:40pm Moog1 Radio: Very clean!
	3:40pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Sorry was a bit distracted but what were the later groups from Kaleidoscope called?
	3:40pm Erica: It's a clean machine.
	♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: George Martin is boss.
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: Is this the radio promo 45 with the extra trumpet?
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Fairfield Parlour
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Were you thinking of Mighty Baby, some of whom went on to become Ace?
	♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Martin Stone from Mighty Baby went to Chili Willy & the Red Hot Peppers then became a seller of rare books.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - This is from the Magical Mystery Tour CD
	3:43pm Erica: I noticed that the album version of Penny Lane doesn't feature the trumpets, esp. during the middle of the tune with the fire engine sounds.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: The lyrics on this Barry Booth album were written by various members of Monty Python. Terry Jones did this one
	3:47pm CalZone!: @Erica, Andrews pal 'Orange' is really the voice of the late great brit DJ John Peel. Andrew uses some kind of studio trickery to use bits and phrases of old dialogue to create new material. Very clever.
	♥ 3:48pm Brian in UK: Chili Willy were great live, including Phil Lithman & a teenage Pete Thomas on drums.
	3:48pm Eric R: Cal, that's incredible!
	3:49pm Andres: Thanks, Larry! It was Fairfield Parlour I didn’t quite catch.
	3:50pm Erica: I had a feeling that Orange Peel was an AI or something. But Andrew treats him like a real person.
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I've always been fascinated by the whole pub rock scene. The Will Birch book about it was great.
	3:50pm Andres: Orange Peel is quite the wit on the comments board!
	♥ 3:51pm Brian in UK: Larry, it as almost an anti scene. Set off by Americans Eggs Over Easy. Getting back to basics with quality songwriting.
	3:55pm Moog1 Radio: Was Lazy Day theirs before Spanky?
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: I don't think so. American composers, though anything's possible
	♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: I could imagine Tony Christie singing on these tunes.
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Christie was in one of the great popsike bands, the Outer Limits!
	♥ 3:58pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Larry @Moog Spanky October 1967 Tinkerbell December 1967
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My bad. wrong Christie. JEFF Christie was in the Outer Limits (and Christie)
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Paul!
	♥ 3:59pm StringOFperils: Doh! I keep thinking this starts @ 4pm. Oh well, HI, Larry!
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Welcome String!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: Shades of Orange co-written and produced by Bill Wyman
	4:01pm TDK60: Alrightee, back to the Show.
	♥ 4:02pm Paul from Owen Sound: I happen to have the Tinkerbell's Fairydust wikipage open reading up on them.
	4:02pm Andres: Brian in UK @ 3:42 - I like that there was a Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers before there was Red Hot Chili Peppers.
	4:03pm TDK60: Andres, 5x fast, please..
	4:05pm Andres: I'm tongue tied!
	♥ 4:05pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Andres remember in The Simpsons when Barney shouts "We want Chilli Willi" to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he is actually calling for "Chilli Willi
	♥ 4:05pm Paul from Owen Sound: and the Red Hot Peppers"
	♥ 4:06pm Brian in UK: You can see why there were many one-off singles. Larry was Currant Bun the flip to Emily.
	4:06pm Erica: See Emily Play is a smashing choon!! Seriously though, 60s Pink Floyd is overlooked compared to stuff like Dark Side of the Moon or Another Brick in the Wall.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Arnold Layne
	♥ 4:07pm listener Rey: Hiya Larry and all. Good sounds today as I toil. Had to chime in when I heard the Floyd
	♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: Erica you might say they never improved on the early records.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: Hi Rey!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Syd-er Floyd is where I start. I love a lot of the rest, by Piper at the Gates of Dawn is HUGE for me
	♥ 4:09pm Brian in UK: Produced by child abuser Jonathan King. (Everyones gone to Prison)
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: That should say "Syd-era"
	4:10pm Erica: Just saying Larry. Pink Floyd's earlier stuff is something that needs to be more appreciated.
	♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: I only just learned that 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' was lifted from 'The Wind in the Willows'. Don't know why that escaped me,other than not having that book in my childhood.
	♥ 4:12pm Michael 98145: always something to learn around here ...
	♥ 4:12pm Michael 98145: @SoP, did not know that !
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: I learned that from DJ GeorgyGirl over on Sheena's.
	♥ 4:13pm Little Danny: hey larry hey all!
	♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: Gents can I direct you to DJ Georgy Girls's show on Sheenas regarding Piper. wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned when I'm done for Kip and Discothech Underground: wfmu.org...
	4:17pm TDK60: Oh yeah, that's quite a partay with Georgy.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: @String - I mentioned Kenneth Grahame in today's preamble
	♥ 4:18pm Michael 98145: Thank you! @Brian
	♥ 4:18pm StringOFperils: Late for class, ya lose out, Larry. I'm gonna fail the mid-term.
	♥ 4:18pm Little Danny: i dig the bit of atmospheric echo on davy's voice here
	♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145: ah -
	♥ 4:20pm Paul from Owen Sound: I revisit The Wind in the Willows every year or so. Great book. The audio version read by Alan Bennett is spectacular.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: It really is beautifully written
	4:21pm Irene: River Man! One of my all time faves.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Hi Irene!
	♥ 4:21pm Brian in UK: Paul, I reread it last year, my old battered copy from childhood. Oh those weasels. Parp Parp.
	♥ 4:22pm Paul from Owen Sound: I recently came across Andy Bey's version of River Man. Beautiful.
	♥ 4:22pm Paul from Owen Sound: Onion sauce!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: @Paul - I've played Andy's version here before. Sublime.
	♥ 4:24pm Paul from Owen Sound: It really is. I love discovering old stuff.
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: love "butterfly" !! - i first heard on rubble vol. 4 as a teen
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: I love the lyrics to this song
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The US pressing of this alb um used to be surprisingly common. I've had three copies over the years, all found at flea markets
	♥ 4:26pm Little Danny: oh wow, did not know that
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: The only catch was finding it with the poster cover intact. It was usually torn off
	♥ 4:26pm Brian in UK: Larry is this label anything to do with Bob Crewe?
	♥ 4:27pm Little Danny: singer's got those icy-mystical tones
	♥ 4:27pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Larry LOL, it was your show that I listened to it. I starred it, December 9, 2021: Testify! - Be Here Now (Again)
	♥ 4:27pm Paul from Owen Sound: I should have known
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The US jacket is beautiful, UK not so much: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Paul - It's all a big circle here.
	♥ 4:28pm Little Danny: oh yeah! i've seen pics of the u.s. press before, never had a copy...
	♥ 4:28pm Paul from Owen Sound: I clicked a few stars on that show
	♥ 4:29pm WR: Hi Larry & drummer streamers. Catching the last set. Looks well worth an archive listen.
	♥ 4:29pm Little Danny: square in the middle of whimsical and mystical, this
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:30pm Mike Sin: I'll say it re: Tintern Abbey -- the greatest debut single of any British band in the '60s. Yeah, you heard me!
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! Greatest psychedelic 45 of the 1960s, period!
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: One of the rarest too (I wish I had one)
	♥ 4:32pm Little Danny: in my pot-smoking days those two tintern abbey sides were inevitable listens
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: I mean, go into the studio and wrote two of the trippiest songs ever, one about household appliance and the other about a beehive.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: have you heard any of their other studio recordings, larry?
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: I have not. Wasn't there a reissue with a bunch of extra stuff?
	♥ 4:35pm Mike Sin: I have your show cranking loud through the house -- my wife just asked me, "Are we getting the Led out?"
	♥ 4:36pm Little Danny: (i have not, tho i see the dodgy cherry red label issued their "complete recordings")
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: It's Rock-UARY!
	♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: *smirks
	♥ 4:37pm Mike Sin: Cherry Red is a dodgy label? 50% of my record collection is dodgy!
	♥ 4:38pm StringOFperils: My record collection's dodginess must top out well above that.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: I was unaware that they were problematic. The stuff I have from them is well done
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Richard Thompson play this solo acoustic once, a long time ago....
	4:40pm TDK60: Was just listening to my old LP of this F.C.; still plays; got it in '71.
	♥ 4:40pm Brian in UK: Another Davey Graham recording.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: I wish they could have made ten more like it, but after reading Richard Thompson's book it seems amazing that they recorded what they did before imploding
	♥ 4:42pm Brian in UK: How many bands record three albums in one year, more like one decade nowadays.
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Shawn Phillips on sitar
	♥ 4:42pm StringOFperils: Totally in the mood for this atmosphere today; I'm loving this!
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Seriously.
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: @String - Me too. Cold and wet outside, nice and warm in here
	♥ 4:45pm Brian in UK: In for a chilly night here. Very good selections, Larry.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	4:47pm TDK60: Sunshine Superman just incredible and groundbreaking album.
	4:47pm Erica: Ah. This is relaxing.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: I love FSA...
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: TDK60, the thing is that there were so many groundbreaking albums back then we were spoiled and did not realise how lucky we were.
	♥ 4:49pm StringOFperils: Sweet!
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: I could only buy so many records with my Saturday job pay.
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: I have a Donovan tribute show in the works. He was WAY ahead of his time
	♥ 4:50pm Brian in UK: Oh Larry, when you mentioned Delius at the start I thought of this.
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	4:50pm TDK60: That is true Brian! But I stumbled upon that one fairly early, and then it got more impressive to me as years went.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: I love Delius. He had a really interesting/unusual life story. He moved to the US in his 20s to manage an orange grove in Florida, wrote some impressionistic pieces inspired by the area
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: He was also - according to Joe Boyd - a favorite of Nick Drake's
	♥ 4:52pm Brian in UK: There is a strong folk element to his music.
	♥ 4:53pm Little Danny: i have been exploring impressionism and its greater influence a bit more myself larry, i hope you do an all-classical ep at some point!
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: Yes. indeed. I love stuff like Copeland, Barber, Dvorak, Smetana,etc who drew from folk sources
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've been thinking of doing just that!
	♥ 4:54pm Paul from Owen Sound: I always liked his North Country Sketches.
	♥ 4:54pm Little Danny: do it do it!!!
	♥ 4:54pm Little Danny: thanks larry! your show is always a pleasure
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: I will! I will!
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Danny!
	♥ 4:55pm Brian in UK: Huckle down, knuckle down, do it do it do it.
	4:55pm TDK60: One classico fellow who isn't so known is Ernest Moeran who was into both English and Irish themes. Sounds similar to Vaughan W.
	♥ 4:56pm Paul from Owen Sound: Going to put it on after your show. Thanks, Larry! Great show as always. It was nice to listen live again now that we're settling in to the new place.
	♥ 4:57pm Brian in UK: We had a lesser spotted woodpecker on the bird feeder today. Just saying.
	4:57pm Andres: Really great today, Larry! Thanks!
	♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:58pm Erica: That last set was beautiful. Brought me to tears.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm dutchtheo: Larry, I thank thee!
	♥ 4:58pm Yvang: Superb show! Merci beaucoup Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Larry.
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
	4:59pm TDK60: Thanks for a tasteful show, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm WR: Thank you Larry. Laters all.
	4:59pm Erica: Thank you Larry. Cheerio!
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed it!

	♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: They were indeed the same band!
	♥ 3:19pm Paul from Owen Sound: OK. Great. I have the Day and Night in my digital collection, I need to look into Open Mind
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: They had an LP after this 45 but I've never heard it.
	♥ 3:23pm Paul from Owen Sound: over 1K on discogs
	3:23pm Cal Zone!: More flowery prose and Edwardian references please! The kids want to dance!
	♥ 3:23pm Paul from Owen Sound: dollars, that is
	♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: @Paul - I believe that
	♥ 3:24pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - You ain't seen nuttin' yet
	♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145: Enjoying all this
	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	♥ 3:27pm Brian in UK: What-ho Larry. Loved your Macbeth.
	3:27pm Erica: @Brian It's bad luck to say Macbeth (Simpsons reference).
	♥ 3:29pm Michael 98145: Probably also bad luck to say Brexit
	♥ 3:30pm doctorjazz: Hello Testifiers!
	3:31pm Erica: The world of Hogwarts.
	♥ 3:32pm Michael 98145: Salutations, Dr Sponsor
	♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Erica, och the Scottish play.
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! Brian!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: No legs breaking today!
	3:35pm Erica: @Brian Auch, DOONTOON!
	3:37pm CalZone!: Andrew Sandoval did a great Tony Hazzard show a cpl weeks ago. Also Buffalo Billycan is one of my all time fave raves!
	3:38pm Erica: I just started hearing Andrew Sandoval's show on Monday with the Cowsills. The thing is, his show comes on before and after Orange Peel, who works for Andrew.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: @Ca; - Hazzard wrote a bunch of great songs for other artists
	♥ 3:39pm Paul from Owen Sound: Fox on the Run
	3:40pm Erica: The Bea-tles!!
	♥ 3:40pm Brian in UK: A lot of English bands were playing R'nB in the early Sixties, then grew their hair and found whimsy. Zoot Money is a good example His big band becoming Dantalions Chariot.
	3:40pm Moog1 Radio: Very clean!
	3:40pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Sorry was a bit distracted but what were the later groups from Kaleidoscope called?
	3:40pm Erica: It's a clean machine.
	♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: George Martin is boss.
	3:41pm Moog1 Radio: Is this the radio promo 45 with the extra trumpet?
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Fairfield Parlour
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Andres - Were you thinking of Mighty Baby, some of whom went on to become Ace?
	♥ 3:42pm Brian in UK: Martin Stone from Mighty Baby went to Chili Willy & the Red Hot Peppers then became a seller of rare books.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - This is from the Magical Mystery Tour CD
	3:43pm Erica: I noticed that the album version of Penny Lane doesn't feature the trumpets, esp. during the middle of the tune with the fire engine sounds.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: The lyrics on this Barry Booth album were written by various members of Monty Python. Terry Jones did this one
	3:47pm CalZone!: @Erica, Andrews pal 'Orange' is really the voice of the late great brit DJ John Peel. Andrew uses some kind of studio trickery to use bits and phrases of old dialogue to create new material. Very clever.
	♥ 3:48pm Brian in UK: Chili Willy were great live, including Phil Lithman & a teenage Pete Thomas on drums.
	3:48pm Eric R: Cal, that's incredible!
	3:49pm Andres: Thanks, Larry! It was Fairfield Parlour I didn’t quite catch.
	3:50pm Erica: I had a feeling that Orange Peel was an AI or something. But Andrew treats him like a real person.
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I've always been fascinated by the whole pub rock scene. The Will Birch book about it was great.
	3:50pm Andres: Orange Peel is quite the wit on the comments board!
	♥ 3:51pm Brian in UK: Larry, it as almost an anti scene. Set off by Americans Eggs Over Easy. Getting back to basics with quality songwriting.
	3:55pm Moog1 Radio: Was Lazy Day theirs before Spanky?
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: I don't think so. American composers, though anything's possible
	♥ 3:57pm Brian in UK: I could imagine Tony Christie singing on these tunes.
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Christie was in one of the great popsike bands, the Outer Limits!
	♥ 3:58pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Larry @Moog Spanky October 1967 Tinkerbell December 1967
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My bad. wrong Christie. JEFF Christie was in the Outer Limits (and Christie)
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Paul!
	♥ 3:59pm StringOFperils: Doh! I keep thinking this starts @ 4pm. Oh well, HI, Larry!
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: Welcome String!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: Shades of Orange co-written and produced by Bill Wyman
	4:01pm TDK60: Alrightee, back to the Show.
	♥ 4:02pm Paul from Owen Sound: I happen to have the Tinkerbell's Fairydust wikipage open reading up on them.
	4:02pm Andres: Brian in UK @ 3:42 - I like that there was a Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers before there was Red Hot Chili Peppers.
	4:03pm TDK60: Andres, 5x fast, please..
	4:05pm Andres: I'm tongue tied!
	♥ 4:05pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Andres remember in The Simpsons when Barney shouts "We want Chilli Willi" to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he is actually calling for "Chilli Willi
	♥ 4:05pm Paul from Owen Sound: and the Red Hot Peppers"
	♥ 4:06pm Brian in UK: You can see why there were many one-off singles. Larry was Currant Bun the flip to Emily.
	4:06pm Erica: See Emily Play is a smashing choon!! Seriously though, 60s Pink Floyd is overlooked compared to stuff like Dark Side of the Moon or Another Brick in the Wall.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Arnold Layne
	♥ 4:07pm listener Rey: Hiya Larry and all. Good sounds today as I toil. Had to chime in when I heard the Floyd
	♥ 4:08pm Brian in UK: Erica you might say they never improved on the early records.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: Hi Rey!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Syd-er Floyd is where I start. I love a lot of the rest, by Piper at the Gates of Dawn is HUGE for me
	♥ 4:09pm Brian in UK: Produced by child abuser Jonathan King. (Everyones gone to Prison)
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: That should say "Syd-era"
	4:10pm Erica: Just saying Larry. Pink Floyd's earlier stuff is something that needs to be more appreciated.
	♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: I only just learned that 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' was lifted from 'The Wind in the Willows'. Don't know why that escaped me,other than not having that book in my childhood.
	♥ 4:12pm Michael 98145: always something to learn around here ...
	♥ 4:12pm Michael 98145: @SoP, did not know that !
	♥ 4:13pm StringOFperils: I learned that from DJ GeorgyGirl over on Sheena's.
	♥ 4:13pm Little Danny: hey larry hey all!
	♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: Gents can I direct you to DJ Georgy Girls's show on Sheenas regarding Piper. wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned when I'm done for Kip and Discothech Underground: wfmu.org...
	4:17pm TDK60: Oh yeah, that's quite a partay with Georgy.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: @String - I mentioned Kenneth Grahame in today's preamble
	♥ 4:18pm Michael 98145: Thank you! @Brian
	♥ 4:18pm StringOFperils: Late for class, ya lose out, Larry. I'm gonna fail the mid-term.
	♥ 4:18pm Little Danny: i dig the bit of atmospheric echo on davy's voice here
	♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145: ah -
	♥ 4:20pm Paul from Owen Sound: I revisit The Wind in the Willows every year or so. Great book. The audio version read by Alan Bennett is spectacular.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: It really is beautifully written
	4:21pm Irene: River Man! One of my all time faves.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Hi Irene!
	♥ 4:21pm Brian in UK: Paul, I reread it last year, my old battered copy from childhood. Oh those weasels. Parp Parp.
	♥ 4:22pm Paul from Owen Sound: I recently came across Andy Bey's version of River Man. Beautiful.
	♥ 4:22pm Paul from Owen Sound: Onion sauce!
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: @Paul - I've played Andy's version here before. Sublime.
	♥ 4:24pm Paul from Owen Sound: It really is. I love discovering old stuff.
	♥ 4:24pm Little Danny: love "butterfly" !! - i first heard on rubble vol. 4 as a teen
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: I love the lyrics to this song
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The US pressing of this alb um used to be surprisingly common. I've had three copies over the years, all found at flea markets
	♥ 4:26pm Little Danny: oh wow, did not know that
	♥ 4:26pm Funky16Corners: The only catch was finding it with the poster cover intact. It was usually torn off
	♥ 4:26pm Brian in UK: Larry is this label anything to do with Bob Crewe?
	♥ 4:27pm Little Danny: singer's got those icy-mystical tones
	♥ 4:27pm Paul from Owen Sound: @Larry LOL, it was your show that I listened to it. I starred it, December 9, 2021: Testify! - Be Here Now (Again)
	♥ 4:27pm Paul from Owen Sound: I should have known
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - The US jacket is beautiful, UK not so much: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Paul - It's all a big circle here.
	♥ 4:28pm Little Danny: oh yeah! i've seen pics of the u.s. press before, never had a copy...
	♥ 4:28pm Paul from Owen Sound: I clicked a few stars on that show
	♥ 4:29pm WR: Hi Larry & drummer streamers. Catching the last set. Looks well worth an archive listen.
	♥ 4:29pm Little Danny: square in the middle of whimsical and mystical, this
	♥ 4:29pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	♥ 4:30pm Mike Sin: I'll say it re: Tintern Abbey -- the greatest debut single of any British band in the '60s. Yeah, you heard me!
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! Greatest psychedelic 45 of the 1960s, period!
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: One of the rarest too (I wish I had one)
	♥ 4:32pm Little Danny: in my pot-smoking days those two tintern abbey sides were inevitable listens
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: I mean, go into the studio and wrote two of the trippiest songs ever, one about household appliance and the other about a beehive.
	♥ 4:35pm Little Danny: have you heard any of their other studio recordings, larry?
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: I have not. Wasn't there a reissue with a bunch of extra stuff?
	♥ 4:35pm Mike Sin: I have your show cranking loud through the house -- my wife just asked me, "Are we getting the Led out?"
	♥ 4:36pm Little Danny: (i have not, tho i see the dodgy cherry red label issued their "complete recordings")
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: It's Rock-UARY!
	♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: *smirks
	♥ 4:37pm Mike Sin: Cherry Red is a dodgy label? 50% of my record collection is dodgy!
	♥ 4:38pm StringOFperils: My record collection's dodginess must top out well above that.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: I was unaware that they were problematic. The stuff I have from them is well done
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Richard Thompson play this solo acoustic once, a long time ago....
	4:40pm TDK60: Was just listening to my old LP of this F.C.; still plays; got it in '71.
	♥ 4:40pm Brian in UK: Another Davey Graham recording.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: I wish they could have made ten more like it, but after reading Richard Thompson's book it seems amazing that they recorded what they did before imploding
	♥ 4:42pm Brian in UK: How many bands record three albums in one year, more like one decade nowadays.
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Shawn Phillips on sitar
	♥ 4:42pm StringOFperils: Totally in the mood for this atmosphere today; I'm loving this!
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Seriously.
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: @String - Me too. Cold and wet outside, nice and warm in here
	♥ 4:45pm Brian in UK: In for a chilly night here. Very good selections, Larry.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian!
	4:47pm TDK60: Sunshine Superman just incredible and groundbreaking album.
	4:47pm Erica: Ah. This is relaxing.
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: I love FSA...
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: TDK60, the thing is that there were so many groundbreaking albums back then we were spoiled and did not realise how lucky we were.
	♥ 4:49pm StringOFperils: Sweet!
	♥ 4:49pm Brian in UK: I could only buy so many records with my Saturday job pay.
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: I have a Donovan tribute show in the works. He was WAY ahead of his time
	♥ 4:50pm Brian in UK: Oh Larry, when you mentioned Delius at the start I thought of this.
	♥ 4:50pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	4:50pm TDK60: That is true Brian! But I stumbled upon that one fairly early, and then it got more impressive to me as years went.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: I love Delius. He had a really interesting/unusual life story. He moved to the US in his 20s to manage an orange grove in Florida, wrote some impressionistic pieces inspired by the area
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: He was also - according to Joe Boyd - a favorite of Nick Drake's
	♥ 4:52pm Brian in UK: There is a strong folk element to his music.
	♥ 4:53pm Little Danny: i have been exploring impressionism and its greater influence a bit more myself larry, i hope you do an all-classical ep at some point!
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: Yes. indeed. I love stuff like Copeland, Barber, Dvorak, Smetana,etc who drew from folk sources
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've been thinking of doing just that!
	♥ 4:54pm Paul from Owen Sound: I always liked his North Country Sketches.
	♥ 4:54pm Little Danny: do it do it!!!
	♥ 4:54pm Little Danny: thanks larry! your show is always a pleasure
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: I will! I will!
	♥ 4:54pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Danny!
	♥ 4:55pm Brian in UK: Huckle down, knuckle down, do it do it do it.
	4:55pm TDK60: One classico fellow who isn't so known is Ernest Moeran who was into both English and Irish themes. Sounds similar to Vaughan W.
	♥ 4:56pm Paul from Owen Sound: Going to put it on after your show. Thanks, Larry! Great show as always. It was nice to listen live again now that we're settling in to the new place.
	♥ 4:57pm Brian in UK: We had a lesser spotted woodpecker on the bird feeder today. Just saying.
	4:57pm Andres: Really great today, Larry! Thanks!
	♥ 4:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:58pm Erica: That last set was beautiful. Brought me to tears.
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm dutchtheo: Larry, I thank thee!
	♥ 4:58pm Yvang: Superb show! Merci beaucoup Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks, Larry.
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
	4:59pm TDK60: Thanks for a tasteful show, Larry!
	♥ 4:59pm WR: Thank you Larry. Laters all.
	4:59pm Erica: Thank you Larry. Cheerio!
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed it!
