	♥ 3:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hi Andrew!
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:09 This one has an interesting history.
	3:10pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 That was my 2nd question.
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Listen to the lead singer on this and see if you recognize the voice.
	♥ 3:11pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Is that a photo of Brewer & Shipley, he asked expecting the answer no.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:11 Hey Brian! It is, indeed!
	♥ 3:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 There is so much crap stored. If only I had worked at skool.
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:13 I'm the same way. If I used the brain power devoted to music for something else I might have split the atom.
	♥ 3:15pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Get Together" by "44th St Portable Flower Factory" ... as in Scholastic Magazine ??
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, haven't been by for a while, so hello from Wisconsin.

	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @3:22 Hey iko! My pleasure!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Welcome back Larry from the darkness! Such a cool song. Hope you play the original! Am guessing my Cryan Shames buddies might get a play too today?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 Hey Clark! All covers today, though no Cryan Shames this time
	3:30pm Erica: Judy Clay slayed this version.
	3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 I just figured you might do Youngbloods "Lets get Together" by Shames. haha Hope you are feeling well now. I did not know why you were gone. Good to know now.
	3:35pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Get Together" by "44th St Portable Flower Factory" Makes sense that Larry would play this as it featured Bob Dorough
	3:36pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Young Man Old Man" by "Mel Taylor" Kinda like your closing theme!
	3:36pm Erica: Just looked up the 44th Street Portable Flower Factory on Discogs.
	3:36pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Erica, Andrew and all.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:36 How so?

	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @3:37 Hi Woo!
	3:37pm Erica: Hey WLS and Woo.
	3:40pm Erica: The way you love me is flightling
	♥ 3:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:36 Hi, Clark!
	3:42pm WLSClark: Hi WOO!
	3:43pm WLSClark: Daily Flash--shoulda been bigger! I put an interview clip on my FF fill in 2 months ago before "French Girl"--love that 45!
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 I agree. All of their records are outstanding.
	3:46pm Vincent The Soul Chef: A little late but I made it... good evening everyone.
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:46 Hey Vincent!
	♥ 3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Good Morning Starshine" by "Bobby Bryant" Liked that version!
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 Good album all the way through
	♥ 3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Aquarius" by "Harold Johnson" This too!
	♥ 3:51pm doctorjazz: Would do my birthday suit impression of Hair, but it's too chilly...
	♥ 3:55pm Michael 98145: The Daily Flash were around when the PNW was still a forgotten corner of the country.
	3:56pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't Make Promises" by "Gary Puckett And The Uni... I played this B side a ton back when Woman Woman was on my turntable daily.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:55 PNW had one of the healthiest regional music scenes in America!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:56 Prob my fave Hardin song
	3:57pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 True! I'll still stick with Chicago. haha
	♥ 3:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Agreed. Mostly ignored elsewhere.
	3:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Feeling Alright" by "Lou Rawls" Lou shoulda changed his last name to Soul, as he has the MOST soulful sound ever.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: I did an all PNW show last year: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: And Chicago back in 2017: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:58 One of the all time great voices
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 Our AM radio was bursting with great local bands
	4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Very cool choices for Chicago.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 Thanks!
	4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Get It Up For Love" by "Johnny Rivers" Hard to think of this as RECENT or LATE Rivers song when it is 50 years old, ain't it?
	4:07pm Erica: Johnny Rivers covering Ned Doheny. Nice.
	♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145: really fun show
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:07 It's surprising how many covers there are of this song. I have four, including this and David Cassidy.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:08 Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 I just saw a recent clip of Rivers performing with Marty Stuart's band. Really nice.
	♥ 4:10pm WR: Oh, yes the Superfly Percy Faith. Hi Larry, folks.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:10 Hey WR!
	4:11pm Erica: According to Second Hand Songs, there were at least 5 other versions of Get It Up for Love before Ned Doheny's own version. And Johnny Rivers' version is from 76, not 74 according to the site. secondhandsongs.com...
	♥ 4:12pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Superfly" by "Percy Faith" Percy Faith pretty much controlled all the flow of cocaine into NYC in 1973. Superfly was actually based a bit on his life.
	4:12pm Erica: I said "according to" twice. Sorry.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:12 SHHHHHHH! Hey Mike!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:11 Discogs says 74
	♥ 4:14pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 Hi Larry! I didn't even mention Percy Faith's righteous karate skillz
	4:14pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 YouTube also says 77 so I can't confirm which is the correct year.
	♥ 4:15pm Sem: Pastor Larry, throwing away this cane. These musics are lightening my soul, straightening my back, and putting a song in my heart. OK, it's "Mandy", but it had been "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy." I'm on the mend!
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:14 He was a kung fu master.
	4:19pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... Wait, what?! This show is blowing my mind! Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:20pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:15 Sem, keep taking the tablets!!
	♥ 4:20pm Sem: OK, love Doc Severinsen.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:19 Hey love2laf! That's a good thing!
	4:21pm Erica: Doc doing King Crimson is on a whole other level.
	♥ 4:21pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:20 Will do, BiUK. The orange ones taste of persimmon.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:21 And he covered it within a year of its original release. Pretty hip move by old Doc.
	4:22pm WLSClark: Doc as leader of Carson band was great! He MADE flamboyant cool!
	♥ 4:22pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Took the words right off my fingers.
	4:22pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Indeed hip.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned for Kip at 5PM! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... What a crazy cover...
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: I wonder of KC were aware of this version?
	♥ 4:23pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... Remember buying the single, parts 1&2. The original that is.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:23 This is the kind of thing I scour garage sales and used record bins for.
	♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Bit like modern day remixes when you have no idea of the original.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Good band on this, too, including Tommy Newsome and Ed Shaughnessy from the Tonight Show Band
	♥ 4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:24 I've lost my oomph for that stuff (and the storage space...) (managed to find a wall for some more LP racks, but I don't know where I'll go next...)
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Why Did You Do It" by "Margaret Singana" Before anyone else says it, this sounds like Couldn't Get It Right by Climax Blues Band and Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:27 This is a cover of a song by a UK band called Stretch, that was an English dancefloor hit.
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:28 Well the arrangement sounds like those two songs anyway.
	4:29pm Erica: I need to look up Stretch.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 I think I've played it on the show before. Great record.
	♥ 4:34pm StringOFperils: Hey there, Larry. I'm just listening, thought I'd check in. Crazy cool covers.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:34 Hey String! Glad you're digging it!
	4:35pm Erica: I remember this version of Ode to Billie Joe, the soul food part lol.
	♥ 4:38pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Ode To Billie Joe" by "Joe Tex" Cool cover -- nice groove. I think Billy Joe shimmied off the Tallahatchie bridge
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:38 He was imitating James Brown and he slipped.
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: Should have sent the rinds down along with the seeds
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Bus Stop" by "Hermans Hermits" this -really- brings back memories
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 But what a waste of perfectly good rinds!
	♥ 4:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" woo !
	4:41pm CalZone!: just tuning in...welcome back LG!
	4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" Oh yeah, how bout some midwestern stuff!!!
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:41 Hey Cal! Thanks!
	♥ 4:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" Yes, this is a cover, but this is how I first heard it. Jim Pepper's tune (do love this version, and the albums they released early on).
	4:42pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" You just made Leslie grin from ear to ear, Larry :)
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 This may be the most popular version.
	♥ 4:43pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 confess i've never heard this before now
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:42 I knew she'd like this!

	♥ 4:43pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:43 this version
	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Harper's Bizarre do a good cover.
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:44 I played it on the Harpers show I did a while back.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...
	4:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" So many great B&S songs. Shake off Demon, Tarkio Road, etc

	♥ 3:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hi Andrew!
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:09 This one has an interesting history.
	3:10pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 That was my 2nd question.
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: Listen to the lead singer on this and see if you recognize the voice.
	♥ 3:11pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Is that a photo of Brewer & Shipley, he asked expecting the answer no.
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:11 Hey Brian! It is, indeed!
	♥ 3:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 There is so much crap stored. If only I had worked at skool.
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:13 I'm the same way. If I used the brain power devoted to music for something else I might have split the atom.
	♥ 3:15pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Get Together" by "44th St Portable Flower Factory" ... as in Scholastic Magazine ??
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, haven't been by for a while, so hello from Wisconsin.

	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ iko @3:22 Hey iko! My pleasure!
	3:26pm WLSClark: Welcome back Larry from the darkness! Such a cool song. Hope you play the original! Am guessing my Cryan Shames buddies might get a play too today?
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:26 Hey Clark! All covers today, though no Cryan Shames this time
	3:30pm Erica: Judy Clay slayed this version.
	3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:28 I just figured you might do Youngbloods "Lets get Together" by Shames. haha Hope you are feeling well now. I did not know why you were gone. Good to know now.
	3:35pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Get Together" by "44th St Portable Flower Factory" Makes sense that Larry would play this as it featured Bob Dorough
	3:36pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Young Man Old Man" by "Mel Taylor" Kinda like your closing theme!
	3:36pm Erica: Just looked up the 44th Street Portable Flower Factory on Discogs.
	3:36pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Erica, Andrew and all.
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:36 How so?
	♥ 3:37pm Woo: Hey

	3:40pm Erica: The way you love me is flightling
	♥ 3:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:36 Hi, Clark!
	3:42pm WLSClark: Hi WOO!
	3:43pm WLSClark: Daily Flash--shoulda been bigger! I put an interview clip on my FF fill in 2 months ago before "French Girl"--love that 45!
	♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 I agree. All of their records are outstanding.
	3:46pm Vincent The Soul Chef: A little late but I made it... good evening everyone.
	♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:46 Hey Vincent!
	♥ 3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Good Morning Starshine" by "Bobby Bryant" Liked that version!
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 Good album all the way through
	♥ 3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Aquarius" by "Harold Johnson" This too!
	♥ 3:51pm doctorjazz: Would do my birthday suit impression of Hair, but it's too chilly...
	♥ 3:55pm Michael 98145: The Daily Flash were around when the PNW was still a forgotten corner of the country.
	3:56pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't Make Promises" by "Gary Puckett And The Uni... I played this B side a ton back when Woman Woman was on my turntable daily.
	♥ 3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:55 PNW had one of the healthiest regional music scenes in America!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:56 Prob my fave Hardin song
	3:57pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 True! I'll still stick with Chicago. haha
	♥ 3:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Agreed. Mostly ignored elsewhere.
	3:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Feeling Alright" by "Lou Rawls" Lou shoulda changed his last name to Soul, as he has the MOST soulful sound ever.
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: I did an all PNW show last year: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: And Chicago back in 2017: wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:58 One of the all time great voices
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:58 Our AM radio was bursting with great local bands
	4:06pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Very cool choices for Chicago.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:06 Thanks!
	4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Get It Up For Love" by "Johnny Rivers" Hard to think of this as RECENT or LATE Rivers song when it is 50 years old, ain't it?
	4:07pm Erica: Johnny Rivers covering Ned Doheny. Nice.
	♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145: really fun show
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:07 It's surprising how many covers there are of this song. I have four, including this and David Cassidy.
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:08 Thanks, Michael!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 I just saw a recent clip of Rivers performing with Marty Stuart's band. Really nice.
	♥ 4:10pm WR: Oh, yes the Superfly Percy Faith. Hi Larry, folks.
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:10 Hey WR!
	4:11pm Erica: According to Second Hand Songs, there were at least 5 other versions of Get It Up for Love before Ned Doheny's own version. And Johnny Rivers' version is from 76, not 74 according to the site. secondhandsongs.com...
	♥ 4:12pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Superfly" by "Percy Faith" Percy Faith pretty much controlled all the flow of cocaine into NYC in 1973. Superfly was actually based a bit on his life.
	4:12pm Erica: I said "according to" twice. Sorry.
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:12 SHHHHHHH! Hey Mike!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:11 Discogs says 74
	♥ 4:14pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 Hi Larry! I didn't even mention Percy Faith's righteous karate skillz
	4:14pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 YouTube also says 77 so I can't confirm which is the correct year.
	♥ 4:15pm Sem: Pastor Larry, throwing away this cane. These musics are lightening my soul, straightening my back, and putting a song in my heart. OK, it's "Mandy", but it had been "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy." I'm on the mend!
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:14 He was a kung fu master.
	4:19pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... Wait, what?! This show is blowing my mind! Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:20pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:15 Sem, keep taking the tablets!!
	♥ 4:20pm Sem: OK, love Doc Severinsen.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:19 Hey love2laf! That's a good thing!
	4:21pm Erica: Doc doing King Crimson is on a whole other level.
	♥ 4:21pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:20 Will do, BiUK. The orange ones taste of persimmon.
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:21 And he covered it within a year of its original release. Pretty hip move by old Doc.
	4:22pm WLSClark: Doc as leader of Carson band was great! He MADE flamboyant cool!
	♥ 4:22pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Took the words right off my fingers.
	4:22pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Indeed hip.
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: Make sure to stay tuned for Kip at 5PM! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... What a crazy cover...
	♥ 4:23pm Funky16Corners: I wonder of KC were aware of this version?
	♥ 4:23pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "In the Court of the Crimson King" by "Doc Severin... Remember buying the single, parts 1&2. The original that is.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:23 This is the kind of thing I scour garage sales and used record bins for.
	♥ 4:24pm Brian in UK: Bit like modern day remixes when you have no idea of the original.
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: Good band on this, too, including Tommy Newsome and Ed Shaughnessy from the Tonight Show Band
	♥ 4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:24 I've lost my oomph for that stuff (and the storage space...) (managed to find a wall for some more LP racks, but I don't know where I'll go next...)
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Why Did You Do It" by "Margaret Singana" Before anyone else says it, this sounds like Couldn't Get It Right by Climax Blues Band and Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:27 This is a cover of a song by a UK band called Stretch, that was an English dancefloor hit.
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:28 Well the arrangement sounds like those two songs anyway.
	4:29pm Erica: I need to look up Stretch.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 I think I've played it on the show before. Great record.
	♥ 4:34pm StringOFperils: Hey there, Larry. I'm just listening, thought I'd check in. Crazy cool covers.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:34 Hey String! Glad you're digging it!
	4:35pm Erica: I remember this version of Ode to Billie Joe, the soul food part lol.
	♥ 4:38pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Ode To Billie Joe" by "Joe Tex" Cool cover -- nice groove. I think Billy Joe shimmied off the Tallahatchie bridge
	♥ 4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:38 He was imitating James Brown and he slipped.
	♥ 4:39pm StringOFperils: Should have sent the rinds down along with the seeds
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Bus Stop" by "Hermans Hermits" this -really- brings back memories
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 But what a waste of perfectly good rinds!
	♥ 4:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" woo !
	4:41pm CalZone!: just tuning in...welcome back LG!
	4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" Oh yeah, how bout some midwestern stuff!!!
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:41 Hey Cal! Thanks!
	♥ 4:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" Yes, this is a cover, but this is how I first heard it. Jim Pepper's tune (do love this version, and the albums they released early on).
	4:42pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Witchi Tai To" by "Brewer and Shipley" You just made Leslie grin from ear to ear, Larry :)
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 This may be the most popular version.
	♥ 4:43pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 confess i've never heard this before now
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:42 I knew she'd like this!

	4:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Harper's Bizarre do a good cover.
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:44 I played it on the Harpers show I did a while back.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: wfmu.org...

	♥ 4:51pm StringOFperils: How Lowe can you go? Such a good song. Good bones.
	♥ 4:51pm doctorjazz: very cool version!
	♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:51 Same chords (I think)
