Listener comments!
	10:01pm Parq: Go, baby!
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:09pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Green Bay!
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:15pm Cubs Win: Good evening.
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Unk!
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: I'm back, Jack.
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Doin' it again
	10:17pm Funky16Corners: We are in the lost chapter of Naked Lunch tonight, the Steely Dan Zone
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Saw them three times...in three different decades. I didn't see them in the '80s because no one did.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Your first concert, right?
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: You saw the OGs. I am very jealous of that.
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Yes, they opened for Bread.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Interesting bill
	10:20pm Uncle Michael: I think I saw Skunk with the Dan in '72 and then with the Doobies in '73.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: I didn't realize he made the jump that quickly
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: Though I read that it was Skunk who connected Michael McDonald with the Doobs via their shared time in SD
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm pretty sure but not totally sure he was with the Doobies. It's cool seeing him playing congas with Steely Dan on some of those early videos.
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: He shows up in a Linda Ronstadt performance on the Midnight Special playing congas
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: He wasn't a Doonie till '74...and that may have been the year I saw them. Though my mind wants to say '73. My mind is an unreliable source.
	10:24pm Uncle Michael: That might be what I'm thinking of. With Ronstadt. See?
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Mine too. A lot of that going around
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Could be, rabbit.
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: Nope, I was right... www.youtube.com...
	10:30pm Doug Schulkind: Good evening, Larry. Walter. Donald. Everyone.
	10:32pm Uncle Michael: Reelin'/Beach Boys? Really? That astounds me.
	10:32pm cupcakejenny: Oh crap I missed the beginning!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Michael - it was a comparison I heard a lot back in the day
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Jenny - I can provide a recording of the entire show at no extra cost. See me later :)
	10:36pm still b/p: Seeing Becker's age at his passing is one of those occasions to start calculating, damn, how young those boys were when they were producing pretty sophisticated stuff in the early to mid-70s.
	10:37pm cupcakejenny: That's what you get when you sleep with the do :)
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I think Becker was 22 when CBAT came out
	10:37pm cupcakejenny: Crap. Autocorrect. DJ
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: It still astounds me. I don't hear it at all.
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and all
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Jenny - SHHHHHHHHH!
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:39pm hyde: hi. been listening. not commenting.
	10:39pm Doug Schulkind: Testify! Scratching itches since before you were born.
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey Hyde!
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: SCRATCHY SCRATCH SCRATCH
	10:41pm geezerette: Sound of hot summer west coast days on Pacific Coast Highway. Hola!
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: i agree with UM @10.37; and i never heard the comparison...but then, when "alone again, naturally" came out i thought it was Paul McCartney, so...
	10:42pm Parq: Our kid went to Bard, so the Dan are definitely on Mrs. Parq's radar, even though (and here, she differs from Mrs. LG), she is not particularly enthusiastic about this kind of music. We were just sitting over a late supper, parsing "My Old School". Speaking strictly for myself, "Countdown to Ecstasy" is one of those desert island albums.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: They're def one of those bands that I still find new things to dig 45 years on
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: C - I should mention that we are talking about the analysis of stoned NJ high school kids of the 70s, so their approach wasn't logical or well thought out
	10:47pm Uncle Michael: Barrytown is about a town near to Annandale...also about their Bard days.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: i liked steely dan enough to have bought their first 4 albums new, as a teenager -through katy lied; and the next 3 used. gaucho i got for a buck and listened to once. -i still put the first 4 on now & then though.
	10:48pm geezerette: This music sounded wistful and nostalgic even when new. Maybe because the product of a transitional era.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: Got any Leather Canary, Larry?
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, they really are sui generis
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: I do not Michael. What's that?
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: @10.46 haha!
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: I know some bands that sound like Steely Dan, but I can't think of any bands that Steely Dan sound like
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: The band that featured Chevy Chase on drums. I kid. There are no recordings that I'm aware of.
	10:50pm still b/p: I thought 10CC's I'm Not In Love was PM & Wings on first earing. "Dr. Wu" is a must-sing when I put the disc in while driving. Years ago I went to see an osteopath named Dr. Wu, and I tried to cut him a break by never commenting...until the last visit.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: I would not have been able to resist
	10:51pm Doug Schulkind: I went through a phase when SD's cover of Duke Ellington's "East St. Louis Toodle-oo" was my favorite two and half minutes of life. It was so faithful to the original and yet so them.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: Pretty cool idea for a cover too
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: UM @10:50 - I just picked up the Terry Boylan LP that they play on, he was a Bard classmate, too
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: I'd have asked "Are you crazy, are you high?"
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know Boylan was a Bard connection.
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	10:54pm still b/p: "...or just a bone-and-flow check guy?" This writer gets very specific in crediting and profiling Becker's talent and approach. www.npr.org...
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: Saving that for later
	10:56pm Parq: Uncle M, I have spent a great deal of time driving in Barrytown while the kid was up there. There was a Roman Catholic monastery there, and blue-collar R.C. boys sent up for the summer would sneak out at night and party with the Bard cuties. It's owned by the Unification Church now. The ever-changing world.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: I'm checking out, friends....catch you all later. I gotta wear the brown shoes tomorrow.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: stillbp, i definitely thought "come and get it" was the beatles; but then - it almost was.
	10:57pm Doug Schulkind: My daughter is applying to Bard. (And about 20 other schools)
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: Nite Unk!
	10:58pm Uncle Michael: Parq, I'm pretty sure the Moonies owned it then too, the references to "I see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown" are to them.
	10:58pm Uncle Michael: Or they were there but didn't yet own the monestary.
	10:58pm still b/p: Bard's a small school. Howz come I know several alumni around here in a small city?
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: gnight UM. ...my niece probably is applying at bard too. she's applied to vassar and suny new paltz. if she goes to new paltz i'm leaving town.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: A lot of brilliant bohos went to Bard. It's sort of like Oberlin in that regard.
	11:00pm Parq: UM, Wiki-P says the Moonies grabbed in in '75, so could be. I'll tell you this, the town is really easy on the eyes.
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: zzz
	11:02pm still b/p: Yeah, the folks I know who went there are all fully or partially in the arts.
	11:02pm geezerette: Doug, thanks for the Barney Wilen Auto Jazz files! Elegant! That and Roscoe Mitchell's Bells For The South Side are absolutely Ellingtonian.
	11:02pm Funky16Corners: Doesn't (or didn't) Bard have a kind of freeform thing going on academically, or am I just thinking of the prep school?
	11:06pm Parq: Larry, Bard isn't one of those "invent your own major" schools, if that's what you mean. It's actually quite rigorous. It's just that it's a liberal arts school -- that's Lib. Er. Al. Arts. Dammit. -- full tilt, and not one of these high-end vocational schools that most U.S. parents want their kids to attend. Famously, the Wachowski brothers split Bard when they didn't get into the film program. One of my kid's best friends did, too.
	11:07pm Doug Schulkind: Happy to share, geez!
	11:08pm Nonbrilliant Boho: I went to Oberlin.
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: Parq - I may be thinking of Bard Simon's Rock in Great Barrington, the high school
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: Oh wait, not high school, a separate college
	11:10pm Parq: Yep. My kid -- who now works for one of Bard's high-school-early-college projects -- did a panel at Simon's Rock last spring.
	11:11pm Parq: Doug, I knew that about you. Mrs. Parq's and my godson is the product of a double-Obie couple.
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: My wife's cousin is an alum
	11:13pm Parq: Larry, is there any chance that you're going to work in "Don't Take Me Alive"? In the midst of their flirting with jazz, that track was straight up rock & roll.
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: That is not on tonight's set list, but I will surely play it in the future
	11:14pm Doug Schulkind: WOBC, the radio station at Oberlin was the locus of my great enlightenment. It's where I first learned that radio could be a verb.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: I like that turn of phrase!
	11:15pm Doug Schulkind: @Larry I came thisclose to playing Woody Herman covering "Sex Machine" a few weeks back. It got left on the cutting room floor.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: I love that Cadet stuff
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Here comes Gadd
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: That man could make a wondrous sound with the drums
	11:20pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: The Immaculate Production
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: Hi Dave!
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: there's no denying that was jazz fusion - as much as folks that were known only for jazz fusion...and this is as "smooth jazz" as "smooth jazz".
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: No doubt that their material, esp AJA and beyond lent itself to such interpretations
	11:35pm Doug Schulkind: During an interview I did with Anthony Braxton back in 1982, he told me that Warne Marsh was one of his saxophone heroes.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: That's interesting, but the avant garde guys often seem to have a love for solid, straight ahead stuff
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: too...
	11:39pm Doug Schulkind: Warne Marsh, another musician who died on stage...
	11:40pm geezerette: Seems like a good way to go, if there is a good way.
	11:41pm geezerette: ...ugh, LIKE...
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that!
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: And now, the cheeriest song ever written about heroin!
	11:50pm Doug Schulkind: G'night, Larry and all. What a sweet sequence of sounds!
	11:50pm Parq: This has been exactly the tribute ol' Walter deserved, Larry. Well done, as always. As a parting shot, for those who haven't seen it yet, here's a jpeg I hope folks will dig. i.pinimg.com...
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Parq!
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doug!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: good night Doug and good night Larry and Thank you good night all rest in peace Walter Becker ...now hopefully there'll be appropriate Holger Czukay tributes coming.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:55pm geezerette: Thanks for the nostalgia, Larry!
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure entirely!
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: Back in a slightly more familiar/unfamiliar groove next week. I had to stop and pay tribute to WB. Thanks for listening!

	11:14pm Doug Schulkind: WOBC, the radio station at Oberlin was the locus of my great enlightenment. It's where I first learned that radio could be a verb.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: I like that turn of phrase!
	11:15pm Doug Schulkind: @Larry I came thisclose to playing Woody Herman covering "Sex Machine" a few weeks back. It got left on the cutting room floor.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: I love that Cadet stuff
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Here comes Gadd
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: That man could make a wondrous sound with the drums
	11:20pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: The Immaculate Production
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: Hi Dave!
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: there's no denying that was jazz fusion - as much as folks that were known only for jazz fusion...and this is as "smooth jazz" as "smooth jazz".
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: No doubt that their material, esp AJA and beyond lent itself to such interpretations
	11:35pm Doug Schulkind: During an interview I did with Anthony Braxton back in 1982, he told me that Warne Marsh was one of his saxophone heroes.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: That's interesting, but the avant garde guys often seem to have a love for solid, straight ahead stuff
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: too...
	11:39pm Doug Schulkind: Warne Marsh, another musician who died on stage...
	11:40pm geezerette: Seems like a good way to go, if there is a good way.
	11:41pm geezerette: ...ugh, LIKE...
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: I did not know that!
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: And now, the cheeriest song ever written about heroin!
	11:50pm Doug Schulkind: G'night, Larry and all. What a sweet sequence of sounds!
	11:50pm Parq: This has been exactly the tribute ol' Walter deserved, Larry. Well done, as always. As a parting shot, for those who haven't seen it yet, here's a jpeg I hope folks will dig. i.pinimg.com...
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Parq!
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doug!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: good night Doug and good night Larry and Thank you good night all rest in peace Walter Becker ...now hopefully there'll be appropriate Holger Czukay tributes coming.
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:55pm geezerette: Thanks for the nostalgia, Larry!
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure entirely!
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: Back in a slightly more familiar/unfamiliar groove next week. I had to stop and pay tribute to WB. Thanks for listening!
