Listener comments!
	9:52pm Cubs Clinch: Shotgun.
	9:55pm Funky16Corners: Getting in early, eh?
	10:02pm Cubs Clinch: Best seat in the house.
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Stretch out. Put your feet up. Help yourself to whatever's in the fridge.
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, I have champagne.
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: Mmmm. I just have my diet Coke.
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: Wall to wall Wade in the Waters?
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Hang tight. Water's gonna get even deeper.
	10:13pm JtotheK: hi everyone. haven't listened to this john bishop lp in a while!
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey J! Yeah, LP is far superior to the bad 45 edit that I foolishly chased for a while
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: Somebody ought to do a boxed set on TRC/Tangerine. Very interesting label
	10:18pm JtotheK: now that you mention it - i've never actually looked up the tangerine discography. but i tend to at least give a listen to the 45s on the label when i come across one i haven't seen before.
	10:19pm still b/p: I voted for the Salem Travelers version. But who knows what the Electoral College will do.
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Speaking of box sets...the new Isaac Hayes...wow.
	10:19pm JtotheK: *still hasn't found Louis Jordan '65 Bars' on Tangerine.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Hey Still b/p! One more coming. Hold the tally.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Louis Jordan was all over the place in the 60s. He has some stuff on Pzazz, too.
	10:22pm JtotheK: One more...I will guess either Ramsey Lewis, or Marlena Shaw. (And probably be wrong.)
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: Clover, buncha San Fran hippies
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know Clover existed as early as 1970. Huey in the band then? McPhee? Alex Call?
	10:26pm Uncle Michael: Call and McFee, yes...Huey, no.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: clover just played on Elvis' first one. the whole album's a demo. ...
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: hi Larry! and all!
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Huey didn't join up until a year or two later. Clover goes back to 1967, though I don't believe the recorded until 1969
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hi C!
	10:32pm Uncle Michael: I do not believe MAIT is demos.
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: According to Wiki they were rerecordings of EC demos (with Clover this time)
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: well, i wasn't there; but apparently the record company (stiff) asked Elvis to record it (they booked clover for it) to try to convince Dave Edmonds to record some of the material...or something like that.
	10:35pm Alex In Illinois: We just danced to the Staple Singers version of For What It's Worth.
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: Never hear that tale. I understood EC was Basher's to produce.
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: Hi Alex!
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: that staples' track was Brilliant! (that statement is redundant though)
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, love the Staples, esp their Epic period
	10:39pm northguineahills: Only have heard the Byrds' version.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! Of which song?
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: buffalo springfield track, right?
	10:40pm northguineahills: Poco's
	10:41pm northguineahills: oh, wait, coel is correct as per usual.
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: hahaha! duh...i just realised what you're doing!
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Yes, this set is all Buffalo Springfield songs
	10:42pm northguineahills: I even have the Buffalo Springfield Box set...
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: I love this Yes version
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: Excellent boxed set. Worth having even if you have the LPs
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ngh is the long(est) version of bluebird on that? it seems pretty difficult to find.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: You can get it on the 2-LP Buffalo Springfield set that came out in 1972. Still pretty easy to track down
	10:44pm northguineahills: I need a tulpa to help me put my furniture together so I can put my turntables up to my hi-fi (first world problems) @coel: Crap, that one is very damn long, it might be....
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: I think I played the long Bluebird a while back
	10:47pm Uncle Michael: Play a whole set of Clancy.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: One of Neil's earliest songs
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: What Expecting To Fly will we get?
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: None tonight (he said sheepishly)
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: i don't know why that bluebird's been illusive to me then. (maybe because i've been reluctant to duplicate what's on the albums...)
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: Early Bonnie makes me mooney like a schoolboy.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, right?
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: An her second album...killer.
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: I hung out with an old friend in L.A. this spring who had dated her for a while in the '80s. She even came to play a show with him in Lawrence, KS back then. I wasn't there but my mrs. was.
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: I only saw her once, in 1979
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I've seen her a few times...but nothing as intimate as that bar gig I missed.
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: I'd love to see her do a solo acoustic show
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: The friend I visited is very tight with Mike Finnigan, and plays with him often...who's in her touring band these days.
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: acoustic would be nice.
	11:01pm Uncle Michael: channeling ronstadt
	11:02pm Uncle Michael: cool set, Lar pushing away the keyboard...night all
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: 'night UM
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: Nite Unk!
	11:23pm cupcakejenny: Oh no! Hef died!
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: Oh snap!
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: Funky16Corners History of Allen Toussaint here: funky16corners.com...
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: "In 2009, [Hugh Hefner] received a "worst supporting actor" nomination for a Razzie award for his performance as himself in Miss March. On his official Twitter account he joked about this nomination: 'Maybe I didn't understand the character.'" ...rest in peace.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: Talk about your important cultural figures of the last half of the 20th century
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: Please rise for the Big O...
	11:44pm cupcakejenny: Peewees giving me some love since you're not here
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: That cat is a TRAITOR!!! Only kidding. He needs someone to keep him happy at bedtime.
	11:46pm cupcakejenny: Ha!
	11:49pm northguineahills: iTunes went haywire, missed the last few tracks, glad I got the end of the Otis Clay. Good one Larry!
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, my fave version of that song
	11:56pm Dean: Man, she sounds like Bonnie Raitt. Or vicey versey.
	11:58pm northguineahills: Thanks Larry, night!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry Great program! ciao
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite guys!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Dean, vice versa, Etta predates Bonnie significantly
	12:02am coelacanth∅: i never thought of Etta whilst hearing Bonnie...or vicey versy. i have to try that out!
	12:04am Funky16Corners: I think Bonnie is a somewhat softer voice, but I think Etta was an influence, esp on the ballads
	12:09am coelacanth: okay - still can't hear it! -but i'm only somewhat familiar with Bonnie's music...like 2 albums' worth, kind of... i'm in no position to deny it, for sure! ...'night!
