	10:04pm Funky16Corners: Helloooooooooo......hellloooooooo
	10:08pm still b/p: I went to the phantom-or-future playlist for Oct. 13 first.
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: Good evening!
	10:09pm Kris Holmes: Nice, Bud!
	10:09pm Jeff Ash: My bad self sends greetings from Wisconsin.
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kris, Jeff!
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: Still b/p - I'm filling in for Doug on Friday afternoon, I probably should have waited to create that show until after tonight
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: Yes to this! ...all this.
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:12pm Doug Schulkind: Thelonify!
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: Dr John going all Professor Monk-Hair
	10:12pm coelacanth∅: - and hi Larry and all
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: I hope the evening finds you all well!
	10:16pm northguineahills: Well, I haven't heard any Bobby McFerrin except that one album, but, I've been aware of others.
	10:16pm cupcakejenny: Hi :)
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny! Hi NGH!
	10:23pm Parq: In the kitchen but eager to hear tonight's show.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: i'm lucky i think that at a young age a Monk compilation my brother had (that i have now, unfortunately) was my introduction to "modern jazz". (after Benny Goodman, Billy Holiday, etc) i stepped right in.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: That's a solid place to start.
	10:30pm geezerette: Funky Monk ! Hallo!
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: My intro was my Pop's copy of the Modern Jazz Giants LP, where you can hear Miles yelling at Monk.
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: yeah despite all our fighting he sure liked to turn me on to good music. Roland Kirk soon followed. (etc.etc...)
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: I hope I had the same effect on my younger brothers
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: oh man i do and maybe don't want to hear Miles yelling at Monk!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: It's very brief
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: They talk about it here: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:34pm Ike: Good evening!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Ike!
	10:37pm geezerette: No one gets bluer than Miles.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: You got that right
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: thanks for that link. doesn't sound bad. there're some crazy stories out there too!
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: No, and I don't think I really noticed it until I got it on CD years later.
	10:47pm geezerette: Breathtaking , his singularity.
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: It was indeed.
	11:00pm Doug Schulkind: I thought you were gonna play Joni Van Ronk.
	11:00pm cupcakejenny: I love this version.
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: I keep looking for her records.
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is my favorite version of this song by a mile
	11:05pm geezerette: ahhhhhh...:) (Fairport cover)
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, early too, with Judy Dyble
	11:08pm Doug Schulkind: I adore Judy Dyble in Trader Horne. Their one release is such ultimate feel-good grooviness.
	11:09pm geezerette: (wow, wow, wow ...)
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: The Signe Tole Andersen of Fairport
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: Isn't this Mama Cass special?
	11:10pm Dean: Cass Elliot appeared as a character (portrayed by herself) in the Scooby Doo cartoon series, which my kids watch on DVD and YouTube. They have no idea who she was, but even as a cartoon character she impresses them.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: We got to see a HBR cartoon art exhibit at the Norman Rockwell museum and they had a cel of Mama Cass and the Scooby Doo gang
	11:17pm geezerette: Mama Cass was brilliant. I love her reaction shot watching Janis Joplin in Monterey Pop.
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorites. Such a great voice and personality.
	11:30pm Dean: Coincidentally, I'm just now scanning a series of posts by Al Martino's daughter about '60s-'80s LA. She displays a photo of a 1966 issue of KRLA's Beat magazine from April 1966. Among the upcoming concerts there announced, "Mama's and Papa's" at Hullabaloo. Hullabaloo was a club that shortly became the Aquarius Theater, where "Hair" premiered.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: That place has a very interesting history. I think it may have started as the Jerry Lewis Theater where he did his early 60s TV show
	11:39pm geezerette: Think in the 30's it was Earl Carrol's , a cabaret club. Above the entrance were,(supposedly), the words,"Through These Portals Pass The Most Beautiful Girls In The World". Oh, Hollywood.
	11:40pm Dean: According to Martino, it started as the Earl Carroll Theater in 1938, then Moulin Rouge from '53-'66, then Hullabaloo, and in early '68 Kaleidoscope. Canned Heat was the house band, the proprietor being their manager (and brother of comedian Phil Hartmann), until it was renovated later that year to host "Hair."
	11:41pm Dean: Shoot, check it out: http://martinostimemachine.blogspot.com/ Great pix of Eddie Cochran and Brian Wilson shopping at Wallich's Music City. (I've been there!)
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Sorry, cued up the wrong song there...
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: I was wrong. Jerry Lewis was in the El Capitan Theater
	11:49pm geezerette: This set reminds me of kerosene lamps and Celestial Seasonings. I studied hippies in their native habitat.
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm a little young but always aspired to a kind of hippie-hood
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: A little young to be an actual hippie. Not actually young...
	11:52pm geezerette: Me too!!!
	11:53pm geezerette: Great version!
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: Yeah Richie was great. I have a couple of other covers I should play in the future.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i was a child hippie, or at least so i thought! the teenagers (and 20somethings?) generally thought more favorably of me than my chronological peers. where i lived i was the one and only boy with long hair within 2 grades in elementary school.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: i like Richie's version of here comes the sun, especially.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: I begged to have long hair, to no avail.
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Richie had one of the GREAT voices
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: my brother and i worked on my parents starting when i was in first grade. we had crew cuts until then. each school year we managed to get it longer and longer until it was past my shoulders in 6th grade.
	12:01am geezerette: Another FABULOUS show!!! Thanks, Larry! G'night, pals! Coel !
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Thanks Geezerette!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! Excellent program. have a good night everyone.
	12:01am Funky16Corners: I don't think I had genuinely long hair until well into high school
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks C! Nite all!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: i got called a girl a lot.
	12:03am Funky16Corners: I didn't but I was 6' 4" and close to 300Lbs.
	12:04am coelacanth∅: you could've gotten away with it!
	12:05am coelacanth∅: i had to weigh out the attention of older girls to being picked on by boys and by adults!
	12:05am Funky16Corners: I cultivated that biker look for years, but I don't think I was capable of anything else
	12:06am coelacanth∅: i don't think i ever looked like a biker...even though i rode!
	12:07am coelacanth∅: take care Larry!
	12:07am Funky16Corners: Oddly enough I looked like a stray Hell's Angel but never owned a bike (though I wanted one in the worst way). I couldn't have pulled it off. I encountered the real thing a few times. I wouldn't have made it.
	5:28pm Dog-Day Cicada: Thanks for the mention, Larry. You are very welcome.
