	3:10pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:08 Classic, thank you, Andrew. Might be time to watch it once again.
	3:10pm David The Splatter: Howdy, Larry and all. About to leave work in 30 minutes, but will have this on the mobile app the moment I step out of the building.
	3:10pm still b/p: I checked the video for about 20 seconds just to whet and tease for, of course, later. Not going to miss this show which has been put together especially for me to hear while I eat my turkey on naan.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @3:10 Hi David! Take it on the road!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:10 Hey sbp! That sounds good. I love me some naan (and turkey).
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry 'n folks. I remember hearing of Otis' death in late '67? Did not mean much as Soul music was so thinly spread here. First time hearing Percy Sledge make me realise that other emotions were possible.
	3:13pm still b/p: There once was a man loved naan turkey...
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Hey Brian!
	🥁 3:14pm Brian in UK: The Otis demo on the The FAME box set of 'You Left the Water Running' has become an all-time avourite.
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:14 Have you ever heard the version by Maurice and Mac? Chicago singers recording in Muscle Shoals
	3:15pm doctorjazz: Lighting up Otis with dem clicky-stars!
	🥁 3:15pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 No, but I am willing to learn.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:15 I'm not sure if I've played it here or not. It's two of the guys from the Radiants, Maurice McCallister and Mac Green.
	3:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:05 When I get to it (still in the plastic wrap), I'll try to send it over. I've heard a bit on WFMU, sounds killer!
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:16 That would be awesome!
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: I know I've played an amazing cover of this, by Sweet Linda Divine (aka Linda Tillery).
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "When Something Is Wrong With MyBaby" by "Same and... Yet another Isaac Hayes/David Porter classic
	3:22pm doctorjazz: Tiring out my clicky-star finger...
	🥁 3:25pm Mollywog: Happy Thursday all!
	3:27pm doctorjazz: According to the recent documentary, Stax got screwed by Atlantic (or carelessly signed a bad contract, depending on your point of view), and lost their catalog (around the Sam and Dave time).
	3:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:27 (that's where I'm up to, don't know what happens next)
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:25 Hey Mollywog!
	3:30pm Erica: We heard the studio version last week and now we're hearing a live version. Neat!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:27 I think it's both, Jerry Wexler's predatory actions and Jim Stewart's carelessness.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: Here's something I wrote about this performance ten years ago: "By the time the band kicks off ‘Hold On I’m Comin’’ the duo have shed their jackets and are dancing all over the stage, trading lines and dripping sweat. Watching this performance it is immediately apparent why they were given the nickname ‘Double Dynamite’. They interact in ways that seem casual, yet must have been honed to razor sharpness, night after night on the road, and by the time they’re three minutes into the song, they drop down into a cross between a revival meeting and near riot. With the MGs vamping in the background, Sam Moore moves to the front of the stage and starts preaching. The band gradually picks up steam, as Sam and Dave turn from the crowd and face each other trading lines. This is where the real fun begins. They start to tease the crowd, leaving the stage, only to return and start unleashing some fancy footwork, then leaving yet again (at one point facing each other and casually shaking hands before they exit). The way they whip the previously staid audience into a frenzy, first bringing them to their feet time and time again, then causing them to swarm the stage (having to be restrained by what looks like the Norwegian army, who look a little scared) as Sam leaps down off of the stage into the crowd is something to behold. The first time I watched this I was reduced to tears. I’ve been to some great shows in my life, but not a one that came within a thousand miles of what that lucky audience in Norway were treated to that night in 1967."
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Something about this performance: funky16corners.com...
	3:40pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Hi, loving these great soul classics
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @3:40 Hi Tom!
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 Otis transcended at Monterey.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 Just brilliant. Explosive.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Monterey Pop Set" by "Otis Redding" Nice Otis/Monterey footage in the documentary.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: Believe it or not, Area Code 615 do a great version on their first album. BUT nothing like this.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:45 Seek out the entire set. Pennebaker filmed the whole thing and it was included in the Criterion Collection Monterey Pop boxed set.
	3:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 Was it the MG's behind them-I thought they didn't tour (had to stay at the Stax Studio for constant recording)
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 It was, and the Memphis Horns
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: The MGs played a short set by themselves before Otis
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 They were also part of the European tour that the Sam and Dave cut was from
	🥁 3:52pm listener 126464: Hi, and thanks, Larry. Hey, all. Forgot I have this LP from way back.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:52 Hey there listener126464!
	3:55pm Erica: ↳ listener 126464 @3:52 Hi anonymous listener. Welcome.
	🥁 3:57pm listener 126464: Hello, Erica.
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Preacher and the Bear" by "Rufus Thomas" And now...something I wrote about this performance: funky16corners.com...
	3:57pm doctorjazz: I though the Bar-Kays do most of the touring duty with Otis (including that last airplane flight)? But I guess there were exceptions...
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 This was def the MGs. Here's alink to all the Monterey set lists: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry & all
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:00 Hi C!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 I didn't know about this one. There was a Record Store Day release that included the MGs set: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 4:08pm listener 126464: Same here, Larry.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: There's a great version of this by Janis Joplin and Tom Jones from his TV show
	4:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 That looks great (but NOT inexpensive)!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: I grew up watching the Tom Jones show (my mom loved the show, think she had a thing for Jones, as many of the female persuasion did at the time).
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:13 Probably scalpers on the secondary market
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 I remember the show well. Lots of great musical guests, too
	4:15pm doctorjazz: For later viewing (Tom Jones and Janis) youtu.be...
	4:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wrap It Up" by "Sam and Dave" Killer!
	4:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Vinyl generally has gotten rediculously overpriced...
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:21 The RSD stuff especially. It's already "boutique" stuff, and then the speculators get their hands on it and all bets are off
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:21 I've been a vinyl junkie when it was out of fashion, barely available, now I think twice about buying the CD version when given the choice.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 I've only ever bought one RSD item and it was a Beatles 45 for my son.
	4:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 Same-I went to a local record store on RSD once, man, it was as bad as going shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 I understand that it's good for record stores, and a lot of people enjoy the "hunt" but it's not my thing.
	4:30pm still b/p: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 With at least a better class/pack of jackals, one would hope, without just the tastes and energies of the standard retailer-humping horde.
	4:30pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 Our local did something very cool. They went down the line from #1 on to ask which RSD albums they wanted. When the doors opened, if it was available, you got it. No scrum, no fuss, no pushing, no shoving.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:30 I like that!
	4:31pm love2laf: And hello Larry, loving part 2 of Stax, and hello everyone.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:31 Hello back atcha!
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: I've always thought that this sound like Booker T and the MGs reacting to the success and the sound of the Meters
	4:33pm Tom P in Brooklyn: ↳ love2laf @4:31 Hey love2laf!
	🥁 4:36pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Melting Pot" by "Booker T and the MGs" Thinking of Jeff G!
	4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Yes!
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Melting Pot" by "Booker T and the MGs" It's interesting, PBS is running the multi-part Disco documentary and they spend time talking about the influence and innovations of David Mancuso at The Loft in NYC. This cut was one of his mainstays.
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:30 That's cool-I might even go a second time if they did that (I also don't begrudge the retailers making a buck, but I'm just getting to old for the hassle. And I already have more LP's than I can listen to in my remaining days, I'd guess...)
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Same, great bed music (and great up front music as well)!
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Is this a fave of his?
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 it's bed music for some of his back announcing
	🥁 4:38pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 His bed music on sunday morning shows.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:38 Ah! OK.
	4:39pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Hubby is the same, he heard about it through the grapevine. The local is run by awesome people who support the music community, and the area. It doesn't surprise me that they came up with such a kind way to handle the crowd.
	4:39pm Doug Schulkind: I keep expecting to hear Jeff Golick start talking. He uses this cut as a talkover track for mic breaks.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Doug Schulkind @4:39 Hey Doug!
	🥁 4:40pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 I think Nate the K uses some Booker T as bed music as well...
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Only knowing this as a club staple, I was surprised to discover that the 45 edit of this was a moderate hit
	4:41pm Fred R: Hey Larry and everyone! Sounding good
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:41 Hey Fred!
	4:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 I don't think I've ever heard the long version, just the 45 version. Very cool!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "PLay the Music Toronadoes" by "TSU Toronados" This is the group that played the instrumental backing on Tighten Up by Archie Bell and the Drells
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! Happy oh-fficial Summertime.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Hey Rev! This is the solstice, isn't it?
	4:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Waiting for the living to be easy...
	4:47pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 In three minutes!
	4:47pm Erica: Get up. Get down
	4:48pm Erica: And BOOGIE!
	4:49pm Erica: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Happy summer solstice to you too Rev.
	4:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr Big Stuff" by "Jean Knight" ;- )
	🥁 4:50pm Mollywog: Doesn't matter how long it's been since I heard this song, I still know what it is within 3 notes of intro!
	🥁 4:50pm listener 126464: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:50 A little New Orleans/Mississippi groove in Memphis
	4:52pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Thanks for a great show, Larry! I'll have to miss the last few minutes as I have to take my wife somewhere. Will be sure to check out Part 1!
	4:52pm Sem: Reverend Larry, thank you for this show. Much obliged.
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an incredible episode! Thank, larry!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: Back announcing, sad, show's over, thanks Larry! Happy Summer all (stay cool)!
	4:53pm bradford: Thanks Larry, had a blast! See you later, you Mighty Cravers!
	4:53pm still b/p: I woulda been a few years off (late) in guessing the year of Big Stuff. Got to No. 2 behind Bee Gees How Can You Mend A Broken Heart at top of Billboard Hot 100. I wouldn't have associated those two with the same period in recollection.
	4:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 4:56pm listener 126464: Thank you, Larry.
	4:57pm Erica: Stay cool for those living in hot temperatures.
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everybody! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ LG ~
	4:58pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, til the next Testify!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:58 Thanks Rev!
	4:58pm still b/p: The minutes immediately before and after solstice made great today by this show. The Stax aligned with sun position.
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:58 Thanks L2L!

	3:27pm doctorjazz: According to the recent documentary, Stax got screwed by Atlantic (or carelessly signed a bad contract, depending on your point of view), and lost their catalog (around the Sam and Dave time).
	3:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:27 (that's where I'm up to, don't know what happens next)
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:25 Hey Mollywog!
	3:30pm Erica: We heard the studio version last week and now we're hearing a live version. Neat!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:27 I think it's both, Jerry Wexler's predatory actions and Jim Stewart's carelessness.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: Here's something I wrote about this performance ten years ago: "By the time the band kicks off ‘Hold On I’m Comin’’ the duo have shed their jackets and are dancing all over the stage, trading lines and dripping sweat. Watching this performance it is immediately apparent why they were given the nickname ‘Double Dynamite’. They interact in ways that seem casual, yet must have been honed to razor sharpness, night after night on the road, and by the time they’re three minutes into the song, they drop down into a cross between a revival meeting and near riot. With the MGs vamping in the background, Sam Moore moves to the front of the stage and starts preaching. The band gradually picks up steam, as Sam and Dave turn from the crowd and face each other trading lines. This is where the real fun begins. They start to tease the crowd, leaving the stage, only to return and start unleashing some fancy footwork, then leaving yet again (at one point facing each other and casually shaking hands before they exit). The way they whip the previously staid audience into a frenzy, first bringing them to their feet time and time again, then causing them to swarm the stage (having to be restrained by what looks like the Norwegian army, who look a little scared) as Sam leaps down off of the stage into the crowd is something to behold. The first time I watched this I was reduced to tears. I’ve been to some great shows in my life, but not a one that came within a thousand miles of what that lucky audience in Norway were treated to that night in 1967."
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Something about this performance: funky16corners.com...
	3:40pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Hi, loving these great soul classics
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @3:40 Hi Tom!
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 Otis transcended at Monterey.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 Just brilliant. Explosive.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Monterey Pop Set" by "Otis Redding" Nice Otis/Monterey footage in the documentary.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: Believe it or not, Area Code 615 do a great version on their first album. BUT nothing like this.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:45 Seek out the entire set. Pennebaker filmed the whole thing and it was included in the Criterion Collection Monterey Pop boxed set.
	3:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:36 Was it the MG's behind them-I thought they didn't tour (had to stay at the Stax Studio for constant recording)
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 It was, and the Memphis Horns
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: The MGs played a short set by themselves before Otis
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:46 They were also part of the European tour that the Sam and Dave cut was from
	🥁 3:52pm listener 126464: Hi, and thanks, Larry. Hey, all. Forgot I have this LP from way back.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ listener 126464 @3:52 Hey there listener126464!
	3:55pm Erica: ↳ listener 126464 @3:52 Hi anonymous listener. Welcome.
	🥁 3:57pm listener 126464: Hello, Erica.
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Preacher and the Bear" by "Rufus Thomas" And now...something I wrote about this performance: funky16corners.com...
	3:57pm doctorjazz: I though the Bar-Kays do most of the touring duty with Otis (including that last airplane flight)? But I guess there were exceptions...
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 This was def the MGs. Here's alink to all the Monterey set lists: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry & all
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:00 Hi C!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:57 I didn't know about this one. There was a Record Store Day release that included the MGs set: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 4:08pm listener 126464: Same here, Larry.
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: There's a great version of this by Janis Joplin and Tom Jones from his TV show
	4:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 That looks great (but NOT inexpensive)!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: I grew up watching the Tom Jones show (my mom loved the show, think she had a thing for Jones, as many of the female persuasion did at the time).
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:13 Probably scalpers on the secondary market
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:14 I remember the show well. Lots of great musical guests, too
	4:15pm doctorjazz: For later viewing (Tom Jones and Janis) youtu.be...
	4:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wrap It Up" by "Sam and Dave" Killer!
	4:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Vinyl generally has gotten rediculously overpriced...
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:21 The RSD stuff especially. It's already "boutique" stuff, and then the speculators get their hands on it and all bets are off
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:21 I've been a vinyl junkie when it was out of fashion, barely available, now I think twice about buying the CD version when given the choice.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 I've only ever bought one RSD item and it was a Beatles 45 for my son.
	4:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 Same-I went to a local record store on RSD once, man, it was as bad as going shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 I understand that it's good for record stores, and a lot of people enjoy the "hunt" but it's not my thing.
	4:30pm still b/p: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 With at least a better class/pack of jackals, one would hope, without just the tastes and energies of the standard retailer-humping horde.
	4:30pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:27 Our local did something very cool. They went down the line from #1 on to ask which RSD albums they wanted. When the doors opened, if it was available, you got it. No scrum, no fuss, no pushing, no shoving.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:30 I like that!
	4:31pm love2laf: And hello Larry, loving part 2 of Stax, and hello everyone.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:31 Hello back atcha!
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: I've always thought that this sound like Booker T and the MGs reacting to the success and the sound of the Meters
	4:33pm Tom P in Brooklyn: ↳ love2laf @4:31 Hey love2laf!
	🥁 4:36pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Melting Pot" by "Booker T and the MGs" Thinking of Jeff G!
	4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Yes!
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Melting Pot" by "Booker T and the MGs" It's interesting, PBS is running the multi-part Disco documentary and they spend time talking about the influence and innovations of David Mancuso at The Loft in NYC. This cut was one of his mainstays.
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:30 That's cool-I might even go a second time if they did that (I also don't begrudge the retailers making a buck, but I'm just getting to old for the hassle. And I already have more LP's than I can listen to in my remaining days, I'd guess...)
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Same, great bed music (and great up front music as well)!
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:36 Is this a fave of his?
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 it's bed music for some of his back announcing
	🥁 4:38pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 His bed music on sunday morning shows.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:38 Ah! OK.
	4:39pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Hubby is the same, he heard about it through the grapevine. The local is run by awesome people who support the music community, and the area. It doesn't surprise me that they came up with such a kind way to handle the crowd.
	4:39pm Doug Schulkind: I keep expecting to hear Jeff Golick start talking. He uses this cut as a talkover track for mic breaks.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Doug Schulkind @4:39 Hey Doug!
	🥁 4:40pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 I think Nate the K uses some Booker T as bed music as well...
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Only knowing this as a club staple, I was surprised to discover that the 45 edit of this was a moderate hit
	4:41pm Fred R: Hey Larry and everyone! Sounding good
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:41 Hey Fred!
	4:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 I don't think I've ever heard the long version, just the 45 version. Very cool!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "PLay the Music Toronadoes" by "TSU Toronados" This is the group that played the instrumental backing on Tighten Up by Archie Bell and the Drells
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! Happy oh-fficial Summertime.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Hey Rev! This is the solstice, isn't it?
	4:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Waiting for the living to be easy...
	4:47pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 In three minutes!
	4:47pm Erica: Get up. Get down
	4:48pm Erica: And BOOGIE!
	4:49pm Erica: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:46 Happy summer solstice to you too Rev.
	4:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr Big Stuff" by "Jean Knight" ;- )
	🥁 4:50pm Mollywog: Doesn't matter how long it's been since I heard this song, I still know what it is within 3 notes of intro!
	🥁 4:50pm listener 126464: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:50 A little New Orleans/Mississippi groove in Memphis
	4:52pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Thanks for a great show, Larry! I'll have to miss the last few minutes as I have to take my wife somewhere. Will be sure to check out Part 1!
	4:52pm Sem: Reverend Larry, thank you for this show. Much obliged.
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an incredible episode! Thank, larry!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: Back announcing, sad, show's over, thanks Larry! Happy Summer all (stay cool)!
	4:53pm bradford: Thanks Larry, had a blast! See you later, you Mighty Cravers!
	4:53pm still b/p: I woulda been a few years off (late) in guessing the year of Big Stuff. Got to No. 2 behind Bee Gees How Can You Mend A Broken Heart at top of Billboard Hot 100. I wouldn't have associated those two with the same period in recollection.
	4:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 4:56pm listener 126464: Thank you, Larry.
	4:57pm Erica: Stay cool for those living in hot temperatures.
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everybody! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ LG ~
	4:58pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, til the next Testify!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:58 Thanks Rev!
	4:58pm still b/p: The minutes immediately before and after solstice made great today by this show. The Stax aligned with sun position.
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:58 Thanks L2L!
