	♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Funny guy...
	♥ 3:09pm Phillippe: 3 dog night was lone of the best cover bands ever!
	♥ 3:09pm Phillippe: *one
	♥ 3:09pm Webhamster Henry: The doc has great interviews with collaborators and his gorgeous wife and family. They play that Eric Idle song a bit too much .
	3:09pm Creature Boy: That threee
	♥ 3:09pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe they really were. maybe THE best
	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: @Creatureboy - Harry passed away many years ago. That other show was from a few years back

	3:10pm Irene: Loving all the music from Harry, Larry!
	♥ 3:10pm coelacanth∅: hmmm, yes sumpin's wrong
	♥ 3:10pm Webhamster Henry: Clean that needle!
	3:11pm Creature Boy: I wuzzz jokin , of course he's been gone a long long time
	3:11pm Irene: Computers!
	3:11pm Erica: Hi Everyone. Hi Creature Boy.
	♥ 3:11pm coelacanth∅: that was painless
	3:11pm still b/p: I remember a radio spot for album or concert of theirs back in the day in which the meaning of the term Three Dog Night was explained.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hi Irene! Erica! SBP!
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Fortunately that software is a quick up and down, unlike booting the PC
	3:12pm Creature Boy: 👋
	♥ 3:12pm Phillippe: Every time I get any static, I think "well, that $12 stereo didn't hold up well!"
	♥ 3:13pm coelacanth∅: if they were from siberia they'd have been 7 dog night
	♥ 3:14pm Phillippe: we used to get the 3 dog nights even in the summer...
	3:14pm still b/p: Or woulda been called, "JeezUZ, We Gotta Move Sumplace Else!"
	♥ 3:14pm Webhamster Henry: @coelacanth∅: now they snuggle up to the burning permafrost.
	♥ 3:15pm coelacanth∅: - or woulda been called "baby i'm freezing could you chop down a tree tomorrow?"
	♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: All thanks and praise to the aboriginal people of Australia
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: Everybody dance! (or run away from the cops like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas)
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: RIP Ray...
	3:22pm still b/p: Developed wholly new respect in recent years for Jump Into the Fire.
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: It's a pretty amazing record
	♥ 3:24pm Phillippe: My brain isn't working -- who was the dude who remade most of Nilsson Schmilsson during covid? His Jump Into The Fire was absolute killer!
	♥ 3:26pm Phillippe: Ah, NM -- Ty Segall
	♥ 3:28pm coelacanth∅: jump into the fire sealed the deal for me when it came out...with the bass up in the back of my older sister's boyfriend's '69 firebird
	♥ 3:29pm coelacanth∅: coconut is also excellent musically
	♥ 3:29pm WR: "Song in a Bong" - Larry Grogan.
	♥ 3:29pm Webhamster Henry: Hey don't forget "Gotta Get Up" was all over "Russian Doll".
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	3:30pm Erica: Lol WR.
	3:32pm still b/p: Now "Song In A Bong" to the tune of "Draggin' The Line" is turning over in my head.
	♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: I'm going to have to start keeping a "song in a bong" list
	♥ 3:33pm doctorjazz: Nilsson, Shmilsson! Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth∅: our family was fully into Nilsson when shmilsson came out. (even my father -at least "without you") but when the point was on tv only my younger sister & i watched it. - at which Point we became wiser than our elders.
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: @C - We should all aspire to such a state
	♥ 3:35pm coelacanth∅: yeah but then i got older and more foolish.
	3:35pm Creature Boy: Of course, Fred Neil did the original "Talkin" so his brain 🧠was at play too. I tHiNk Everybody's Talkin was used to cut together the movie and the NYC song didn't match so they couldn't use it
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: I think Everybody's Talkin' has a melancholy edge that suited Midnight Cowboy, too.
	3:37pm Erica: When I hear Me and My Arrow, I think of Homer Simpson.
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: Back in the 70s it was used for car jingle, maybe Dodge?
	♥ 3:38pm Webhamster Henry: Everybody's Talkin' and: I'M WALKIN' HERE!
	♥ 3:38pm Phillippe: Plymouth Arrow
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Phillippe!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Ratso Rizzo's cough presaging the years of Covid...
	3:41pm still b/p: I'm waiting for a contest that calls for singing just the "Waahh-wahhh-huh" portions of Everbody's Talkin'. I may not win, but might place.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: That'd be an interesting contest.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is a great album if you ever come across it in the wild
	3:44pm still b/p: Interesting...if the officials or audience allowed contest to last no more than six or seven minutes. Beyond that....something else. Tipton anagram = Point T
	♥ 3:45pm Phillippe: Ty Segall's "Segall Smeagol" link -- free download: tysegall.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for that Phillippe! I was unaware of its existence
	♥ 3:50pm Phillippe: Some interesting takes on it -- he does JITF as a fuzzed-out noise pop jam.
	♥ 3:50pm Webhamster Henry: I did a cover of "Life Line" on my Prizm autoharp, but I can't seem to find it to endlessly self promote myself.
	♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: @Webhamster Henry - Is that some kind of electric autoharp?
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: You're getting three of these because it is one of my very favorite songs, by anyone.
	3:54pm David Shortell: Free viewing: tubitv.com... tubitv.com...
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: The Point was featured on the Criterion Channel last month
	♥ 3:56pm Phillippe: Thanks David!
	3:58pm David Shortell: I wonder if people sarcastically shout out requests for "Best Friend" at Dr. Know concerts. Brandon must really hate that.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Is he still playing?
	♥ 4:05pm Webhamster Henry: @Larry it's an autoharp with a strange chord set - you push two at a time - in order to vastly increase the variety of chord available. it has +2 chords, which makes it good for "Life Line"
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Is it a modern thing or was it around back in the day? I used to have a regular old autoharp.
	♥ 4:07pm Webhamster Henry: Most of the interesting autoharp stuff is being done by modding old standard harps (like this prizm: it just has different chords) or by a bunch of luthiers.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: I find that fascinating (seriously). I'm hitting Google later on.
	♥ 4:09pm Webhamster Henry: Don't get me started on autoharps.
	♥ 4:09pm Webhamster Henry: But you can always email jhhl@wfmu.org
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: BTW There's going to be a 'bonus track' of sorts at the end of The Point. I think you'll find it surprising.
	4:09pm Erica: RIP Davy.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: There was a great clip on Youtube of Micky and Davy promoting this stage show on a UK children's show, with the Arrow puppet from the show
	4:11pm David Shortell: All I see happening for Dr. Know (Brandon Cruz' band, not the Bad Brains guitarist) is the CY Fest at the Belasco in LA on September 24.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Holy crap, he's older than me, by three months. Which means little Eddie is 60 now.
	4:13pm Erica: I need to check that out Larry.
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: It's pretty cool, Erica, a pretty long segment
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: OK, when Harry's done, get ready for something unusual.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned for Kip and Discotech Underground when I'm done at 5 - wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:20pm Webhamster Henry: This is so TV-specially!
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: It's from her 1977 live album. She did this as part of her stage show. I wonder if there was any visual component.
	4:21pm Erica: The law is the law and we can't change it.
	♥ 4:21pm Webhamster Henry: Nilsson apparently did not know about Brecht's Die Rundköpfe und die Spitzköpfe.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Die whatnow?
	♥ 4:22pm Webhamster Henry: "The Roundheads and the Pointedheads"
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Is that roundhead and pointyhead?
	4:22pm Erica: Nein.
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Ah! I speak no German, yet am still able to pick up the occasional context clue!
	4:23pm Erica: (I meant no really?)
	♥ 4:23pm Webhamster Henry: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Whoa! It's real!?!?
	♥ 4:24pm Webhamster Henry: Everything is real.
	♥ 4:25pm Michael 98145: "a fictitious country called Yahoo"
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: did Harry say he never heard of it?
	♥ 4:26pm Webhamster Henry: Harry said the idea just popped into his head and he wrote it really quickly, as I recall.
	♥ 4:27pm coelacanth∅: it's real, as in it was a real play
	4:27pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): Hey hey
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth∅: i'd bet John Lennon knew about it. that's the kind of thing he knew about! 'may've had some influence on Harry's idea for this story ...just a theory. ...i mean, it's not like a revelation, the idea of having a point or not. it's the kind of idea that comes out of stoned conversation
	♥ 4:31pm coelacanth∅: (should be obvious that that's not taking any credit away from Harry for it)
	♥ 4:32pm Webhamster Henry: In Brecht's version, it's the Nazi-ish roundheads who rule.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey wenzo toad!
	♥ 4:35pm coelacanth∅: gonna chase those crazy bumpheads out of town
	4:37pm David Shortell: The first time I saw Redd Kross, they opened with a rendition of "Without You".
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: I'd have loved to see that. When I saw them they covered The Jeffersons Theme
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: * boing *
	♥ 4:43pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for diggin' up these covers!
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, always!
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: It gives me a chance to go digging in my own stacks.
	4:44pm fredr: Great sounds this afternoon Larry! Greetings from Lavallette!
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey fred! I'm waving from Brick!
	4:46pm fredr: We’re almost neighbors
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Though a trip from Brick to Lavalette in the summer could take hours...
	4:49pm fredr: Oh yeah!!
	4:51pm Erica: Hi Fred. The show's almost over. I enjoyed the Harry Nilson show Larry.
	4:51pm still b/p: When I saw London's album title, I had to go git a wee hit of title track. Sultry countryish(?) version.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Larry! been busy, but enjoyed the show very much! see you next week
	♥ 4:54pm Michael 98145: Thank you for this oasis in an indifferent universe. (🎵)
	4:54pm Erica: Thanks Larry. Congrats to Miles on graduating.

	♥ 4:55pm spodiodi: <---- Yvang XD haha ---->

	3:14pm still b/p: Or woulda been called, "JeezUZ, We Gotta Move Sumplace Else!"
	♥ 3:14pm Webhamster Henry: @coelacanth∅: now they snuggle up to the burning permafrost.
	♥ 3:15pm coelacanth∅: - or woulda been called "baby i'm freezing could you chop down a tree tomorrow?"
	♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: All thanks and praise to the aboriginal people of Australia
	♥ 3:20pm Funky16Corners: Everybody dance! (or run away from the cops like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas)
	♥ 3:21pm Funky16Corners: RIP Ray...
	3:22pm still b/p: Developed wholly new respect in recent years for Jump Into the Fire.
	♥ 3:23pm Funky16Corners: It's a pretty amazing record
	♥ 3:24pm Phillippe: My brain isn't working -- who was the dude who remade most of Nilsson Schmilsson during covid? His Jump Into The Fire was absolute killer!
	♥ 3:26pm Phillippe: Ah, NM -- Ty Segall
	♥ 3:28pm coelacanth∅: jump into the fire sealed the deal for me when it came out...with the bass up in the back of my older sister's boyfriend's '69 firebird
	♥ 3:29pm coelacanth∅: coconut is also excellent musically
	♥ 3:29pm WR: "Song in a Bong" - Larry Grogan.
	♥ 3:29pm Webhamster Henry: Hey don't forget "Gotta Get Up" was all over "Russian Doll".
	♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	3:30pm Erica: Lol WR.
	3:32pm still b/p: Now "Song In A Bong" to the tune of "Draggin' The Line" is turning over in my head.
	♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: I'm going to have to start keeping a "song in a bong" list
	♥ 3:33pm doctorjazz: Nilsson, Shmilsson! Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth∅: our family was fully into Nilsson when shmilsson came out. (even my father -at least "without you") but when the point was on tv only my younger sister & i watched it. - at which Point we became wiser than our elders.
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: @C - We should all aspire to such a state
	♥ 3:35pm coelacanth∅: yeah but then i got older and more foolish.
	3:35pm Creature Boy: Of course, Fred Neil did the original "Talkin" so his brain 🧠was at play too. I tHiNk Everybody's Talkin was used to cut together the movie and the NYC song didn't match so they couldn't use it
	♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: I think Everybody's Talkin' has a melancholy edge that suited Midnight Cowboy, too.
	3:37pm Erica: When I hear Me and My Arrow, I think of Homer Simpson.
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: Back in the 70s it was used for car jingle, maybe Dodge?
	♥ 3:38pm Webhamster Henry: Everybody's Talkin' and: I'M WALKIN' HERE!
	♥ 3:38pm Phillippe: Plymouth Arrow
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Phillippe!
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: Ratso Rizzo's cough presaging the years of Covid...
	3:41pm still b/p: I'm waiting for a contest that calls for singing just the "Waahh-wahhh-huh" portions of Everbody's Talkin'. I may not win, but might place.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: That'd be an interesting contest.
	♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: BTW This is a great album if you ever come across it in the wild
	3:44pm still b/p: Interesting...if the officials or audience allowed contest to last no more than six or seven minutes. Beyond that....something else. Tipton anagram = Point T
	♥ 3:45pm Phillippe: Ty Segall's "Segall Smeagol" link -- free download: tysegall.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for that Phillippe! I was unaware of its existence
	♥ 3:50pm Phillippe: Some interesting takes on it -- he does JITF as a fuzzed-out noise pop jam.
	♥ 3:50pm Webhamster Henry: I did a cover of "Life Line" on my Prizm autoharp, but I can't seem to find it to endlessly self promote myself.
	♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: @Webhamster Henry - Is that some kind of electric autoharp?
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: You're getting three of these because it is one of my very favorite songs, by anyone.
	3:54pm David Shortell: Free viewing: tubitv.com... tubitv.com...
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: The Point was featured on the Criterion Channel last month
	♥ 3:56pm Phillippe: Thanks David!
	3:58pm David Shortell: I wonder if people sarcastically shout out requests for "Best Friend" at Dr. Know concerts. Brandon must really hate that.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Is he still playing?
	♥ 4:05pm Webhamster Henry: @Larry it's an autoharp with a strange chord set - you push two at a time - in order to vastly increase the variety of chord available. it has +2 chords, which makes it good for "Life Line"
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: Is it a modern thing or was it around back in the day? I used to have a regular old autoharp.
	♥ 4:07pm Webhamster Henry: Most of the interesting autoharp stuff is being done by modding old standard harps (like this prizm: it just has different chords) or by a bunch of luthiers.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: I find that fascinating (seriously). I'm hitting Google later on.
	♥ 4:09pm Webhamster Henry: Don't get me started on autoharps.
	♥ 4:09pm Webhamster Henry: But you can always email jhhl@wfmu.org
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: BTW There's going to be a 'bonus track' of sorts at the end of The Point. I think you'll find it surprising.
	4:09pm Erica: RIP Davy.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: There was a great clip on Youtube of Micky and Davy promoting this stage show on a UK children's show, with the Arrow puppet from the show
	4:11pm David Shortell: All I see happening for Dr. Know (Brandon Cruz' band, not the Bad Brains guitarist) is the CY Fest at the Belasco in LA on September 24.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Holy crap, he's older than me, by three months. Which means little Eddie is 60 now.
	4:13pm Erica: I need to check that out Larry.
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: It's pretty cool, Erica, a pretty long segment
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: OK, when Harry's done, get ready for something unusual.
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned for Kip and Discotech Underground when I'm done at 5 - wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:20pm Webhamster Henry: This is so TV-specially!
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: It's from her 1977 live album. She did this as part of her stage show. I wonder if there was any visual component.
	4:21pm Erica: The law is the law and we can't change it.
	♥ 4:21pm Webhamster Henry: Nilsson apparently did not know about Brecht's Die Rundköpfe und die Spitzköpfe.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Die whatnow?
	♥ 4:22pm Webhamster Henry: "The Roundheads and the Pointedheads"
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Is that roundhead and pointyhead?
	4:22pm Erica: Nein.
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: Ah! I speak no German, yet am still able to pick up the occasional context clue!
	4:23pm Erica: (I meant no really?)
	♥ 4:23pm Webhamster Henry: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Whoa! It's real!?!?
	♥ 4:24pm Webhamster Henry: Everything is real.
	♥ 4:25pm Michael 98145: "a fictitious country called Yahoo"
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: did Harry say he never heard of it?
	♥ 4:26pm Webhamster Henry: Harry said the idea just popped into his head and he wrote it really quickly, as I recall.
	♥ 4:27pm coelacanth∅: it's real, as in it was a real play
	4:27pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): Hey hey
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth∅: i'd bet John Lennon knew about it. that's the kind of thing he knew about! 'may've had some influence on Harry's idea for this story ...just a theory. ...i mean, it's not like a revelation, the idea of having a point or not. it's the kind of idea that comes out of stoned conversation
	♥ 4:31pm coelacanth∅: (should be obvious that that's not taking any credit away from Harry for it)
	♥ 4:32pm Webhamster Henry: In Brecht's version, it's the Nazi-ish roundheads who rule.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey wenzo toad!
	♥ 4:35pm coelacanth∅: gonna chase those crazy bumpheads out of town
	4:37pm David Shortell: The first time I saw Redd Kross, they opened with a rendition of "Without You".
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: I'd have loved to see that. When I saw them they covered The Jeffersons Theme
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: * boing *
	♥ 4:43pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for diggin' up these covers!
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, always!
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: It gives me a chance to go digging in my own stacks.
	4:44pm fredr: Great sounds this afternoon Larry! Greetings from Lavallette!
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey fred! I'm waving from Brick!
	4:46pm fredr: We’re almost neighbors
	♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: Though a trip from Brick to Lavalette in the summer could take hours...
	4:49pm fredr: Oh yeah!!
	4:51pm Erica: Hi Fred. The show's almost over. I enjoyed the Harry Nilson show Larry.
	4:51pm still b/p: When I saw London's album title, I had to go git a wee hit of title track. Sultry countryish(?) version.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
