	9:59pm hyde: hola
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Bon Jovi!
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: On a steel horse I ride.
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Hi Ho Silver!
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: Which Tony Burrows joynt recorded this? Flowerpot Men?
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Ivy League
	10:03pm Uncle Michael: Right, thanks.
	10:03pm cupcakejenny: Hello from upstairs
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey, it's my lovely wife!
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello, Larry's lovey wife!
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: It seems like this is only on Brian Wilson comps...and no Glen comps that I know of.
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: It was on a Glen boxed set a while back
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: This is my 45
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: hello from downstairs, upstate, in a cold cave on an 80° night
	10:06pm cupcakejenny: Hello :)
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Here it comes...where are my tissues...
	10:07pm hyde: whoa, that was amazing
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Mr. Campbell
	10:08pm cupcakejenny:
	10:08pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, Hyde...Brian at his most Bacharach.
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Listen to that Mosrite
	10:10pm Jeff Ash: Late dinner, but I am here.
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:12pm Doug Schulkind: Sounding so damn good.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doug!
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: Best single ever recorded, maybe.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: You could say that about four or five of his records
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: This one holds a special place for me.
	10:15pm hyde: thing about Glen Campbell is you hear these songs, and they're great. but then you see him pick guitar, and he can keep up with anyone. (cf. Roy Clark!). and w. the godhen they gave him a show, he was a natural host. the goddamned guy could do anything.
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Yeah,a consummate entertainer
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: Well, he couldn't act. Admit it.
	10:16pm hyde: note: i am unsure what i mean by "godhen" above!
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Come on, what's the movie with him and the chicken?
	10:17pm hyde: @UM haha, not everyone can do everything
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Oops
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Oh, play it twice!
	10:18pm Jeff Ash: It's cool. You could play Galveston again, and no one would mind.
	10:18pm geezerette: uh, Rhinestone Chicken?
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Sorry, got caught up in the music
	10:19pm Jeff Ash: The judges will allow it.
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: <3
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: At leasr in Norwood he had Joe Namath to lean on.
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: i was just gonna say -i'm still a sucker for this song, the first GC song i knew as a child
	10:20pm hyde: the Jimmy Webb collaboration is sure a big deal, when it comes to GC
	10:21pm geezerette: He made everything he did seem so easy. No drama.
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: He made dating Tanya look as hard as it probably was.
	10:22pm geezerette: He's even good in True Grit.
	10:24pm cupcakejenny: I think my parents saw Glen and Tanya in the Albany Airport once.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: i was just looking at his discography and surprised and intrigued that he covered "universal soldier". gotta hear that.
	10:27pm hyde: @cupcakejenny um, wow
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: I think that might have been a hit, too
	10:28pm still b/p: Gentle On My Mind got a bit of a shmaltz MOR rep for a while when we was young. I understand why, but still a pretty strange tainting, given its pedigree, its lyrics, its everything...
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: peaked at 45 in the us, 16 in australia.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: It's really an unusual song
	10:33pm holland oats: Great show
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: Thanks much!
	10:35pm hyde: this is kinda Sandy Denny
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: You got that right. The best Fairport album ever recorded by someone else
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: It's interesting, looking at Glen's catalog on Capitol before he struck gold. An album in '62, two in '63, one each in '64 and '65...none in '66....then three in '67, FIVE in '68!
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: He was a busy man
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: It's always stunning when you see artists in the sixties turning over two or three albums a year
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Five albums in a calendar year is insane.
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: Indeed
	10:43pm Uncle Michael: You know when the label asks for a Christmas album, you're a cash machine.
	10:44pm still b/p: If our President had gone into music, he'd have produced more great fantastic albums every year than anyone else in the history of the world.
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: A boxed set every year
	10:45pm hyde: love this set
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...as long as there's no particular reason why you're playing more than one 13th floor elevators songs in a row.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: None other than I love the Elevators
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: whew! i already checked the news. the worry was hurting.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah right?
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: nice! you can keep playin'em - no complaints here!
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: I will def come back to the Elevators at a later date
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: i know you will! ... i have those records, but still like hearing them mixed into a set.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: So good. Deep stuff
	11:02pm Uncle Michael: Gotta put myself to bed now. Thanks, Larry. Night all.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for coming Unk! Sleep well.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: i always wondered - i tried to get it cleared up by finding the original "slide machine" (which is unfortunately quite inferior)...but -what exactly IS a slide machine? i can deduce what it does, but i could not find a picture of one with a web search.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure, either
	11:07pm calzone!: Great show LG!
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Cal!
	11:23pm still b/p: Hogan's Heroes/Family Feud Richard Dawson?
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: The very same.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: Pretty crazy, huh?
	11:28pm still b/p: I wonder whose chances of crossover success are better statistically -- on-camera performers who make a record or recording artists who try performing on-camera. Stormy....arright!
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: That Dawson 45 is weird and cool, but an odd jumping off point for success. I love it but it must have been as confusing as hell for Hogan's Heroes fans
	11:30pm hyde: fantastic show
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	11:35pm still b/p: If Newkirk could grab a mike, where was "LeBeau: Songs for Lovers, Oui?" I worked at a car dealership in the 70s and one of the salesmen claimed to have been the bass player for Classics IV. I never saw any substantiation...don't know if it was just car salesman odd talk or if he was a hire for some live shows or somethin'.
	11:38pm Funky16Corners: I'd be willing to bet that Robert Clary made some records. He got his start doing cabaret/revues in NYC in the 50s
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Brother Solomon Burke!
	11:56pm Jeff Ash: Nice finish.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	11:57pm hyde: must bounce. good night.
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Nite! Thanks for coming by!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: 'night hyde... Thanks Larry! ...night all
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
