	🥁 3:05pm WR: Am I in? With? ?
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: I'm having my periodic surgical procedure tomorrow and I'm waiting for the scheduler to call, which they usually do around 3PM, so don't be surprised if I have to jump off the mic suddenly.

	3:06pm Erica: Hi everyone. Digging the Ramsey Lewis.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!

	3:15pm zzz: was played The In Crowd by my father at some point which was my introduction (haha, probably a bit more common than being introduced to it on the weather channel-- i have heard the proggy phish tune Guyute there, but i digress) --- that ramsey album and one of the greatest hits comp were very formative listening for me.
	3:15pm Michael 98145: Hope all goes well, Larry G

	3:17pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:18pm Michael 98145: I really have never understood why doctors think they need to start the day in the middle of the night
	3:23pm Michael 98145: Guess golfing takes priority
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Well, I know my urologist and the hospital in general are super backed up thanks to Covid restrictions. I don't mind too much since it means I'll be out and home early.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: Most of the material from this album was written by Richard Evans (who also produced and arranged)

	3:44pm zzz: but yeah, nothing tops the original!! (imo)
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - That was the 45 (thus the crackle...)
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: It just boggles the mind that a guy this talented had the opportunity to work with two distinct sonic visionaries like Evans and Stepney
	3:50pm Moog1 Radio: Me thinks much more Lennon/McCartney is on the horizon!
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: You are correct, sir!

	3:56pm Moog1 Radio: I remember seeing in the liner notes Recorded at Ter Mar Studios Chicago, December 1968... and then reading The White Album was released like Nov 22 1968 and thinking what the what the????
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the wasted no time whatsoever!
	4:00pm Moog1 Radio: and not forgetting by Jan 2 1969 the whole Get Back thing kicked off... people were pretty busy back then!

	🥁 4:31pm WR: Browsing the Lewis discography, the Urban Knights releases are new to me. Look varied. Some, particularly the first one which has significant involvement from Maurice White, are an all star affair. Some are a quartet or quintet led by Lewis. Has anyone listened to them?
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: I have not, and there are a bunch of them
	4:38pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another one that I "borrowed" from my mom back in the 70s... she didn't have many records, but the ones she did have were essential. I still have most of them :)

	4:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Upeno Ni Pajoma and Sun Goddess for sure, Larry... I have a couple from the mid 70s as well. It seems like every household had them, and they were pretty well played.
