	♥ 12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:09 Thanks, Andrew!

	♥ 12:25pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @12:24 S'later!
	12:26pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Roberto @12:24 Especially if the man is a clown crying into his hand.
	♥ 12:26pm chresti: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:26 LOL

	♥ 12:58pm steveo: good afternoon; great to hear you, Bob
	1:01pm Bob Brainen: Hey, steveo, thanks. Great to be heard
	1:04pm Dean: A copy of that Wilson record sold for 5000GBP back in the '90s, before a DJ, Kenny Burrell(!), sold his copy at auction for 25000GBP in 2009.
	1:14pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Get Ready" by "Temptations" The word is overused, but….iconic. Also indispensable.
	1:14pm Dean: Rare Earth also had a hit with this track on the Rare Earth label, a Motown offshoot.
	♥ 1:17pm chresti: When I was 11, a drinking "buddy" my dad brought home, gave me and my younger brother some 45s- one of keepers (and I played on my dinky record player, over and over) was the Temptations "Ain't Too Proud to Beg"
	♥ 1:18pm StringOFperils: ↳ Dean @1:14 I think there was a time when THAT was the version I knew.
	1:21pm Dean: I'm going to guess Bob will spin it when he reaches the late '60s years.
	1:24pm Bob Brainen: Hey Dean, not sure how much longer we'll go. All through 1966, for sure. Then...we see.
	1:25pm Dean: But...but...
	1:26pm Dean: Okay, I guess "About Fifteen or Sixteen Hours With...Motown" is fair.
	♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: Been digging the Motown set (good accompaniment for my yoga/core strengthening routine)!
	♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: The Rare Earth Get Ready was 1969.
	♥ 1:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ doctorjazz @1:28 I remember another Saturday afternoon, in 1970, listening to it and looking at the weird Rare Earth label on the single at my delinquent friend's place just before we walked downtown to watch Woodstock
	1:41pm Dean: This set reminds me that "on Friday, March 7th, the brilliant Iain Matthews (English singer/songwriter and former member of Fairport Convention, Matthews' Southern Comfort, and Plainsong) will be performing at the Hillside Club in Berkeley at 7:30PM. Tickets are available in advance at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hillside-echoes-presents-iain-matthews-tickets-1123379872439 and will also be available at the door."
	♥ 1:45pm unpopularfred: had to step away for a little bit, I guess the Motown is over, unless this is a phase with which I'm not familliar
	♥ 1:46pm StringOFperils: Sitar and Tamla?
	♥ 1:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mad Lad" by "Sir Charles Thompson [w/Leo Parker]" 👍

	♥ 1:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ doctorjazz @1:28 I remember another Saturday afternoon, in 1970, listening to it and looking at the weird Rare Earth label on the single at my delinquent friend's place just before we walked downtown to watch Woodstock
	1:41pm Dean: This set reminds me that "on Friday, March 7th, the brilliant Iain Matthews (English singer/songwriter and former member of Fairport Convention, Matthews' Southern Comfort, and Plainsong) will be performing at the Hillside Club in Berkeley at 7:30PM. Tickets are available in advance at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hillside-echoes-presents-iain-matthews-tickets-1123379872439 and will also be available at the door."
