	3:12pm Mollywog: Happy Thursday all!
	♥ 3:12pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Prikkebeen" by "Boudewijn de Groot" Love the accent!
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:12 Hi Mollywog!
	♥ 3:13pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:11 Prikkebeen favourited since that show!
	♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:12 It's cool because most of the Dutch pop and rock I've heard was recorded in English
	♥ 3:14pm Yvang: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Agreed!
	3:14pm Mollywog: ooooh! Never heard this version before, love it!
	3:15pm Erica: When it comes to being lucky I know x3
	♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:14 This is a great album, US and UK version have different tracklistings, but bith worth hearing
	♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Find Somebody" by "Rascals" Guitar by Felix Cavaliere on this track!
	♥ 3:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Sailing Ship" by "Cryan Shames" Drummer is a bit hyperactive (not a bad thing)!
	3:21pm Erica: ↳ Song: "The Sailing Ship" by "Cryan Shames" And I'm so lonely.
	♥ 3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:21 These guys were really interesting, moving between pure pop, garage and psychedelic stuff
	♥ 3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:21 Sorta Keith Moon without the syncopation...
	3:24pm Mollywog: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Good description!
	3:29pm northguineahills: killer first set!
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:29 Thank you!
	♥ 3:37pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry and all
	♥ 3:37pm StringOFperils: Hey there, Mr. G!
	♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Acid Pot and Pills" by "Horace Silver" This is a wild record, it's Horace going all in on astrology, macrobiotic food etc, as well as getting funky with Salome and Andy Bey
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:37 Hi C!
	♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:37 Hey String!
	♥ 3:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Old Mother Nature" by "Horace Silver" I think I have this album (at work, can't check now); strikes me how different it is from the earlier "classic" stuff.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:42 Yeah, it's a real departure for him. I believe there's footage of this group playing on a PBS show, maybe SOUL but I can't remember exactly
	3:43pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:42 it's totally boss!
	♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: I saw Horace Silver once, late in his career. I believe at The Village Vanguard.
	♥ 3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:43 (He lived to age 85)
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "I'll Never Sail the Sea Again" by "Detroit Emeralds" This is one of those crazy b-side discoveries for me. It's such an odd, contemplative song (flip of Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms)'
	♥ 3:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "I'll Never Sail the Sea Again" by "Detroit Emeralds" Wow wow wow! - never heard this before
	♥ 3:53pm StringOFperils: Is this one of the thins Willie Mitchell was involved with, by any chance? (...not omniscient here, I'm on WIKI)...sounds like HI producction
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:53 I need to find the album to see if there's more like this on it
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:53 Not this one (which is straight out of Detroit)
	♥ 3:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 Yes!
	3:55pm Fred R: Afternoon Larry and all! Enjoying the sounds
	♥ 3:55pm StringOFperils: Interesting...thanks
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @3:55 Hi Fred!
	3:57pm Erica: Hey Fred.
	3:57pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Here comes my favorite version of Purple Haze
	♥ 3:58pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" That's incredible!
	3:58pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Woah!
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:55 You know what's weird, though? It was arranged by Abe Tilman (the singer in the band) but the other arranger was Johnny Allen, who did a bunch of arrangements for Memphis stuff (nothing with Willie Mitchell that I can see) but a bunch of stuff with Isaac Hayes and the Dramatics (another Detroit/Mamphis connection)
	♥ 3:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Wotta crazy version!!!
	♥ 3:59pm coelacanth∅: oh man, he changed the lyric "excuse me while i kiss this guy"!
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:57 This whole album is great, too, and because Abraham Martin and John was such a big hit, it can be had for cheap
	♥ 4:01pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:58 Seemed to be some back and forth there. Apparently some of the Emeralds stuff was Memphis demo work that they took back to Detroit where they added strings or whatever....and they were from Arkansas, ha ha ha....all that matter really I guess is that it's great
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:01 There was a Chicago/Memphis pipeline as well. I keep finding stuff on Stax/Volt that goes right back to Chicago. Everyone wanted to sound like that!
	♥ 4:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Hidden Treasure" by "Traffic" this is a hidden treasure on low spark of high-heeled boys. after having burned out on the title track, my favorite
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:02 I never get tired of Traffic.
	♥ 4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hidden Treasure" by "Traffic" I have to say, I have Low Spark, don't recall this, must have been stuck on the title track.
	♥ 4:03pm StringOFperils: Traffic will always be one of my favourite things to listen to as well.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 I think most of us were so high we got lost inside the title track.
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: FM stereo stations mid-70s loved that track.
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: The good ones, at least....university campus radio stations.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:05 We used to get it on the commercial FM rock stations in the NY area, though almost exclusively at night.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: I remember hearing Low Spark tons of times on the New York stations.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... Nice version (great tune)!
	♥ 4:08pm coelacanth∅: i once mentioned traffic to a certain drummer stream show host, on at some point after this show... sure it was up his alley. i was surprised when he said he'd never been interested. that was several years ago, and i wonder if he ever gave it a listen, and if his opinion has changed. . .
	♥ 4:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... (well loved vinyl, with the things that happens to well loved vinyl)
	♥ 4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... I assume "Under Acoustic Control" is the instrumental part of this...
	4:10pm Cal Zone!: Thanks for reminding me of that excellent SOK v of Bluebird
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @4:10 Hey Cal!
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:09 Yes!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Topanga Road" by "Jim and Jean" Oddly enough, this song was inspired by a bust of the Buffalo Springfield (among others) in Topanga Canyon
	♥ 4:17pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Topanga Road" by "Jim and Jean" Somebody really liked Forever Changes
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:17 This whole album gives off similar vibes
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "What's That Got To Do With Me" by "Jim and Jean" This was covered by Chad Mitchell (I've played his version here) and Sly and the Family Stone (in an outtake)
	♥ 4:21pm StringOFperils: I need to hear Sly's version!
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:21 It's on this box set: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:22pm StringOFperils: Hmmm...I think I actually might have an illicitly obtained copy of that on a hard drive
	4:23pm Mollywog: ↳ StringOFperils @4:22 The Sly version is great!
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Mollywog @4:23 An extremely talented fellow
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite Neil Young cuts
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: (mainly for the voices)
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:25 Merry Clayton, Gloria Jones, Sherlie Matthews, Brenda and Patrice Holloway and Gracia Nitzsche
	♥ 4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Old Laughing Lady" by "Neil Young" Nice!
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 but i take it back! ...the whole song is Brilliant; and i think those voices in the context of this song is part of their greatness.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:30 All of it, Neil, that choir, Jack Nitzsche's arrangement and electric piano
	♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by "Jaime Brockett" I think his intonation is a bit suspect (to my ears) (and if it's suspect covering Dylan, it's an issue).
	♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by "Jaime Brockett" (Gutsy cover-I think the original is perfection)
	♥ 4:34pm StringOFperils: Covering Bob affords a person a lot of latitude.
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Brockett was something of a cult artist/big deal in the Northeast in his day.I have his first two records, one on an indie label, this one on Capitol. He is idiosyncratic, but I dig him. I mean, granted, he's no Timothy Chamolet...
	♥ 4:36pm doctorjazz: Timothy Chamolet actually did a great job in the movie, thought the musical parts were the highlight of the movie!
	4:36pm BenZ WPB: Jaime is doing a doing a great job on the Dylan tune but it’s going on a while and I’m losing interest. But I am a little ADHD
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:36 I know, I was just kidding.
	♥ 4:37pm StringOFperils: Somewhere between Bob and Barry McGuire and Timothy Chalomet
	♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ BenZ WPB @4:36 He's almost done, hang in there
	♥ 4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 I couldn't understand a word Chamolet mumbled, but the singing was really good...
	♥ 4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Silent Way" by "El Chicano" Love this Miles tune!
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 Really unusual cover choice for El Chicano
	♥ 4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Silent Way" by "El Chicano" Typo alert (missing the "i" in Chicano)
	4:41pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 I'm sure Larry will fix the typo.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 Fixed, thank you!
	♥ 4:44pm WR: Hi Larry and folks. Work kept me away until the Shadows of Knight Bluebird track. Liked that track. Will listen to prior from the archive. Great episode! Larry!
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:44 Hey WR!
	4:45pm Julie: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" ahh I love a moog.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Julie @4:45 Hi Julie!
	4:45pm Julie: hiya Larry!
	4:46pm Julie: when y'all are done testifying I'll be over here wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:46pm Crafty: ↳ Julie @4:45 Yay Julie! another dark thursday!
	4:46pm Erica: ↳ Julie @4:45 Hi Julie
	4:47pm Julie: hi Erica!
	4:47pm Julie: hey Crafty! every day is dark if you try hard enough
	♥ 4:48pm Crafty: ↳ Julie @4:47 sure is ;)
	♥ 4:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" Hyman is this musical chameleon. I know of him from jazz records, but he does lots of different things.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:51 I actually got to see him play with jazz groups a few time when I was in high school
	♥ 4:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" Funny, I know that was Dick Hyman playing but listening to him play that I picture someone sorta like Keith Emerson going wild. Distracting myself.
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 He did some CRAZY moog stuff, including a James Brown cover that I played in my soul show this past week
	♥ 4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, fun show!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry for another groovy show.
	♥ 4:56pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	♥ 4:56pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry!
	♥ 4:57pm Crafty: thank you❤
	♥ 4:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. Stay sane. Stay safe.
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:55 Thanks Doc!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:56 Thanks Erica!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:56 Thank you Andrew!
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @4:56 Thanks bradford!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Crafty @4:57 Thanks Crafty!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:57 Thanks String!
	♥ 4:58pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for playing the Hidden Treasures and the not so hidden ones!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:58 Thanks C!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:58 Thanks Yvang!

	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:42 Yeah, it's a real departure for him. I believe there's footage of this group playing on a PBS show, maybe SOUL but I can't remember exactly
	3:43pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:42 it's totally boss!
	♥ 3:43pm doctorjazz: I saw Horace Silver once, late in his career. I believe at The Village Vanguard.
	♥ 3:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:43 (He lived to age 85)
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "I'll Never Sail the Sea Again" by "Detroit Emeralds" This is one of those crazy b-side discoveries for me. It's such an odd, contemplative song (flip of Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms)'
	♥ 3:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "I'll Never Sail the Sea Again" by "Detroit Emeralds" Wow wow wow! - never heard this before
	♥ 3:53pm StringOFperils: Is this one of the thins Willie Mitchell was involved with, by any chance? (...not omniscient here, I'm on WIKI)...sounds like HI producction
	♥ 3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:53 I need to find the album to see if there's more like this on it
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:53 Not this one (which is straight out of Detroit)
	♥ 3:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 Yes!
	3:55pm Fred R: Afternoon Larry and all! Enjoying the sounds
	♥ 3:55pm StringOFperils: Interesting...thanks
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @3:55 Hi Fred!
	3:57pm Erica: Hey Fred.
	3:57pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Here comes my favorite version of Purple Haze
	♥ 3:58pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" That's incredible!
	3:58pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Woah!
	♥ 3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:55 You know what's weird, though? It was arranged by Abe Tilman (the singer in the band) but the other arranger was Johnny Allen, who did a bunch of arrangements for Memphis stuff (nothing with Willie Mitchell that I can see) but a bunch of stuff with Isaac Hayes and the Dramatics (another Detroit/Mamphis connection)
	♥ 3:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Purple Haze" by "Dion" Wotta crazy version!!!
	♥ 3:59pm coelacanth∅: oh man, he changed the lyric "excuse me while i kiss this guy"!
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:57 This whole album is great, too, and because Abraham Martin and John was such a big hit, it can be had for cheap
	♥ 4:01pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:58 Seemed to be some back and forth there. Apparently some of the Emeralds stuff was Memphis demo work that they took back to Detroit where they added strings or whatever....and they were from Arkansas, ha ha ha....all that matter really I guess is that it's great
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:01 There was a Chicago/Memphis pipeline as well. I keep finding stuff on Stax/Volt that goes right back to Chicago. Everyone wanted to sound like that!
	♥ 4:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Hidden Treasure" by "Traffic" this is a hidden treasure on low spark of high-heeled boys. after having burned out on the title track, my favorite
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:02 I never get tired of Traffic.
	♥ 4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hidden Treasure" by "Traffic" I have to say, I have Low Spark, don't recall this, must have been stuck on the title track.
	♥ 4:03pm StringOFperils: Traffic will always be one of my favourite things to listen to as well.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:03 I think most of us were so high we got lost inside the title track.
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: FM stereo stations mid-70s loved that track.
	♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: The good ones, at least....university campus radio stations.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:05 We used to get it on the commercial FM rock stations in the NY area, though almost exclusively at night.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: I remember hearing Low Spark tons of times on the New York stations.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... Nice version (great tune)!
	♥ 4:08pm coelacanth∅: i once mentioned traffic to a certain drummer stream show host, on at some point after this show... sure it was up his alley. i was surprised when he said he'd never been interested. that was several years ago, and i wonder if he ever gave it a listen, and if his opinion has changed. . .
	♥ 4:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... (well loved vinyl, with the things that happens to well loved vinyl)
	♥ 4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Under Acoustic Control/Bluebird" by "Shadows of K... I assume "Under Acoustic Control" is the instrumental part of this...
	4:10pm Cal Zone!: Thanks for reminding me of that excellent SOK v of Bluebird
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @4:10 Hey Cal!
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:09 Yes!
	♥ 4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Topanga Road" by "Jim and Jean" Oddly enough, this song was inspired by a bust of the Buffalo Springfield (among others) in Topanga Canyon
	♥ 4:17pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Topanga Road" by "Jim and Jean" Somebody really liked Forever Changes
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:17 This whole album gives off similar vibes
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "What's That Got To Do With Me" by "Jim and Jean" This was covered by Chad Mitchell (I've played his version here) and Sly and the Family Stone (in an outtake)
	♥ 4:21pm StringOFperils: I need to hear Sly's version!
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:21 It's on this box set: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:22pm StringOFperils: Hmmm...I think I actually might have an illicitly obtained copy of that on a hard drive
	4:23pm Mollywog: ↳ StringOFperils @4:22 The Sly version is great!
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Mollywog @4:23 An extremely talented fellow
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite Neil Young cuts
	♥ 4:25pm coelacanth∅: (mainly for the voices)
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:25 Merry Clayton, Gloria Jones, Sherlie Matthews, Brenda and Patrice Holloway and Gracia Nitzsche
	♥ 4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Old Laughing Lady" by "Neil Young" Nice!
	♥ 4:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 but i take it back! ...the whole song is Brilliant; and i think those voices in the context of this song is part of their greatness.
	♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:30 All of it, Neil, that choir, Jack Nitzsche's arrangement and electric piano
	♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by "Jaime Brockett" I think his intonation is a bit suspect (to my ears) (and if it's suspect covering Dylan, it's an issue).
	♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by "Jaime Brockett" (Gutsy cover-I think the original is perfection)
	♥ 4:34pm StringOFperils: Covering Bob affords a person a lot of latitude.
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Brockett was something of a cult artist/big deal in the Northeast in his day.I have his first two records, one on an indie label, this one on Capitol. He is idiosyncratic, but I dig him. I mean, granted, he's no Timothy Chamolet...
	♥ 4:36pm doctorjazz: Timothy Chamolet actually did a great job in the movie, thought the musical parts were the highlight of the movie!
	4:36pm BenZ WPB: Jaime is doing a doing a great job on the Dylan tune but it’s going on a while and I’m losing interest. But I am a little ADHD
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:36 I know, I was just kidding.
	♥ 4:37pm StringOFperils: Somewhere between Bob and Barry McGuire and Timothy Chalomet
	♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ BenZ WPB @4:36 He's almost done, hang in there
	♥ 4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 I couldn't understand a word Chamolet mumbled, but the singing was really good...
	♥ 4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Silent Way" by "El Chicano" Love this Miles tune!
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 Really unusual cover choice for El Chicano
	♥ 4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In a Silent Way" by "El Chicano" Typo alert (missing the "i" in Chicano)
	4:41pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 I'm sure Larry will fix the typo.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 Fixed, thank you!
	♥ 4:44pm WR: Hi Larry and folks. Work kept me away until the Shadows of Knight Bluebird track. Liked that track. Will listen to prior from the archive. Great episode! Larry!
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:44 Hey WR!
	4:45pm Julie: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" ahh I love a moog.
	♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Julie @4:45 Hi Julie!
	4:45pm Julie: hiya Larry!
	4:46pm Julie: when y'all are done testifying I'll be over here wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:46pm Crafty: ↳ Julie @4:45 Yay Julie! another dark thursday!
	4:46pm Erica: ↳ Julie @4:45 Hi Julie
	4:47pm Julie: hi Erica!
	4:47pm Julie: hey Crafty! every day is dark if you try hard enough
	♥ 4:48pm Crafty: ↳ Julie @4:47 sure is ;)
	♥ 4:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" Hyman is this musical chameleon. I know of him from jazz records, but he does lots of different things.
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:51 I actually got to see him play with jazz groups a few time when I was in high school
	♥ 4:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" Funny, I know that was Dick Hyman playing but listening to him play that I picture someone sorta like Keith Emerson going wild. Distracting myself.
	♥ 4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 He did some CRAZY moog stuff, including a James Brown cover that I played in my soul show this past week
	♥ 4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, fun show!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry for another groovy show.
	♥ 4:56pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	♥ 4:56pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry!
	♥ 4:57pm Crafty: thank you❤
	♥ 4:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. Stay sane. Stay safe.
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:55 Thanks Doc!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:56 Thanks Erica!
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:56 Thank you Andrew!
