	12:02pm listener james from westwood: Hopping in early as HDT winds down! Glad to hear you live today!
	12:04pm Jeff Ash: Reporting from work.
	12:04pm ndbob: afternoon Larry, James, Jeff et al
	12:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey guys! Let's roll!
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Larry!
	12:06pm Jeff Golick: Here to provide the necessary quota of Jeffs. (Also for the music.)
	12:06pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry AND ALL!
	12:07pm northguineahills: Crap, I need to get ready for bed, and it's not Friday like I thought earlier this morning. So confused!
	12:07pm Jeff Ash: I'm transcribing an interview. I have that turned up to hear what's said. When I jump over to the show, IT"S LOUD! Work problems. I will persevere.
	12:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey guys! Yeah, everyone can stay up until 3PM!
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: The title of this Sir Douglas tune has always confused me.
	12:08pm annie: did i forget doug was absent today?
	12:09pm Dominick: Oh hell yes!
	12:09pm Funky16Corners: How so Jeff?
	12:10pm Funky16Corners: @Annie - I'm filling in for Doug
	12:10pm annie: some vague memory says he wasn't going to be here... now the damn pop-up won't work..
	12:10pm JtotheK: hi F16C, hi everyone!
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi J!
	12:11pm Jeff Golick: Well, I'm overly literal, and "she's about a mover" doesn't really scan, in any traditional way.
	12:12pm Funky16Corners: I always wondered if it was a Texas-ism or just a weird turn of phrase to fit the music
	🥁 12:13pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Jeff, it's been like that for over half a century. Time to let it go. I mean Sir Douglas, that's bonkers enough.
	12:13pm Funky16Corners: Hi Brian!
	12:13pm doctorjazz: Never did get that title either, @JeffG, but I wouldn't argue with royalty, as BiUK points out...
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: I found this in a youtube comment: "She's About a Mover" = "she's a body mover," elided for the audience's delicate sensibilities in 1965. @Brian: were it only possible to "let it go," life would be so easy.
	12:15pm Funky16Corners: In retrospect, while I'm playing this I ought to be sipping a Lone Star
	12:15pm Funky16Corners: Instead of a Diet Pepsi
	🥁 12:16pm Brian in UK: Jeff we are in the middle of selling/buying a house. The estate agents (realtors?) seem to have misplaced the deeds. Count to ten and open a beer.
	🥁 12:16pm Brian in UK: Mendocino was one of those mythical albums over here in the late Sixties.
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: I applaud -- and envy -- your equanimity, @Brian. I hope the deeds eventually reveal themselves.
	12:17pm Funky16Corners: One of the best ever.
	12:18pm Dominick: What a treat! Weekend has begun early for me with this.
	12:18pm Funky16Corners: Even when they got hippie, the SDQ still kept the R&B flowing
	12:18pm annie: listening through tunein... silly popup has a mind of its own.
	🥁 12:19pm Brian in UK: It's Friday, Monday is the time to chase stuff. Larry, love the Texas Tornados.
	12:19pm Funky16Corners: Me too. Nice that those guys got back into the spotlight late in the game
	🥁 12:21pm Brian in UK: This Stream is going to be cookin' come Singles week. Oh man. The Tornados do have a patina of age about them.
	12:22pm Funky16Corners: I have a grip of heavy 45s stacked up and ready
	12:23pm glenn: i'm with jeff. I'm pedantic to a fault, and getting worse.
	12:23pm Mike Sin: Larry - nice to hear ya on the stream during "business hours." "At the Crossroads" -- may fave track from that LP.
	12:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike!
	12:24pm glenn: and i also love the texas tornadoes.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: (muh-RINN county)
	12:31pm doctorjazz: What a GREAT version of "Needles and Pins"! May supplant the Ramones as my fave...
	12:31pm glenn: but then, my pedantry kicks in, and i ask - does texas get many tornadoes? shouldn't they be the texas hurricanes?
	12:32pm Funky16Corners: Brushfires?
	12:33pm glenn: or the texas tropical storms?
	12:33pm Funky16Corners: The Texas Being Hassled By the Fuzz So We Moved To California
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: My SDQ experience was suitably weird. I saw them in around '83. What transpired can only be made sense of if there was miscommunication with the promoter with regard to two sets vs. early and late shows. They played for an hour and a half, took a break, came back and played the same set a second time for the same audience. A lot of people didn't stay into the wee hours to hear the same show twice.
	🥁 12:34pm Brian in UK: The Searchers certainly did credit to this song as well as giving the Byrds a sound to copy. And I love the Byrds.
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @UncleMichael - I'd-a stayed
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - The Searchers certainly liked Jackie
	12:36pm glenn: i like sally timms' version of this.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I hung in there for most of round two.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: That was right around the time they played on Fridays
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Mark Eric is so boss.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. I was lucky to score a copy of this album o the cheap years ago.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: It's so weird that this track is on a biker movie soundtrack
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I just have the CD Steve Stanley put out.
	12:45pm Funky16Corners: I think that has everything.
	12:45pm ndbob: nice set here Larry!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: I didn't realize the Jackie DeShannon version of Needles and Pins was the original en.wikipedia.org...
	12:46pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed! Cowritten by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I heard the Jaynetts record of this song in a Michael's craft store once. That was weird.
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: That is weird
	12:54pm glenn: mimi's linda mccartney moment.
	12:55pm Funky16Corners: I would have thought Mimi was the more musically confident/accomplished member of the duo
	12:57pm Dominick: Flashbacks are now occurring
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: As they should!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: Jimmy Griffin podcast here: ironleg.wordpress.com...
	1:07pm doctorjazz: I do a pretty good shing-a-ling!
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: Then we need a Fly expert, as well as a Boogaloo aficionado
	1:08pm Alex in Illinois: But can he the Peanut Duck?
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: I may have to dig that out for Singles Going Steady
	1:09pm Mike Sin: re: Richard Farina I was completely captivated by the style and "rhythm" of "I've Been Down So Long It Looks Up to Me" when I read it during my college days... I should re-read as a middle-aged bum and see how it hits me!
	1:09pm ndbob: @Mike tried doing that recently - didn't hold up for me
	1:10pm doctorjazz: I guess this is the follow up record to "She's A Mover"
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: I just passed it on the bookshelf a few days ago. I should grab it
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: @DrJazz - Touche!
	1:14pm ndbob: great one here!
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite garage 45s!
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: The long sticky arm of the 13th Floor Elevators reaching up to Michigan!
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Blue Things from my region. Just down the road...
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. I used to have an original concert handbill circa 1966/67 but it was damaged/lost between apartments
	1:40pm ndbob: I saw The Changin' Tymes in 1966 as an opening act for Sonny and Char
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: No shit!?!?
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: I've read about that tour
	1:42pm ndbob: Yep - Baltimore Civic Center - can't remember everyone who was there but also Len Barry and the Joe Cuba Sextet
	1:42pm ndbob: Danny Hutton
	1:43pm Funky16Corners: That's a great lineup!
	1:44pm doctorjazz: Love this Blues Magoos!
	1:45pm Funky16Corners: The Pride of the Bronx!
	1:45pm ndbob: sure was Larry
	1:46pm doctorjazz: Sounds like the "You Really Got Me" Kinks could have heard this Guilloteens record.
	1:46pm ndbob: a group here that Elvis loved
	1:46pm doctorjazz: (or vice versa...)
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Vice Versa, Kinks first
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the Guilloteens were his fave local band!
	1:56pm doctorjazz: Dick Hyman, the jazz pianist? Stride and all that historical stuff? Didn't realize he had done this kind of stuff.
	1:57pm Funky16Corners: Yes. He was a major, early proponent of the Moog synthesizer.
	1:57pm Funky16Corners: He was good at it too!
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: I actually got to see him play straight jazz stuff when I was in high school in the 70s
	2:02pm Guido from Cologne: "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose" was crazy.
	2:03pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I've actually spun that during funk sets. I love it.
	2:03pm Guido from Cologne: inspiration for "Lucky man" Moog solo, right?
	2:03pm Funky16Corners: It certainly sounds like it, doesn't it?
	2:04pm listener james from westwood: Would be surprised to learn it played no role!
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: Me too. This album was fairly popular at the time and considering how few artists were doing anything really constructive/artistic with the Moog, I wouldn't be surprised to find a copy in Keith Emerson's collection
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: There's actually a 45 edit of the Minotaur
	2:07pm JtotheK: And by "edit" you mean it's only 7 minutes 30 seconds -- on one side of the 45!
	2:08pm Funky16Corners: Oh crap, you're right!
	2:11pm Funky16Corners: I'm going to have to dig out the 45 and see how it differs from the LP
	2:13pm JtotheK: I was thinking the same thing ... haven't listened to both side by side to compare!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: I wonder how careful and edit it is, or did some hack take out a hatchet and lop off the end?
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: There appears to have been a radio edit, too, at 3:15 -- www.45cat.com...
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: Well, I'm going to need that too, won't I?
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: I think my wife just sensed a disturbance in the force...
	2:19pm Guido from Cologne: never would have expected this to be that good
	2:20pm Mike Sin: "Electric Tommy" actually benefits from the drums not being electric! Roger Linn (of LinnDrum) sez: "Boys, just hold out few more years -- I'm almost there with this cool gizmo!"
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I'm not a fan of shitty Moog cash-ins. I love this one. Joe Renzetti, the Philly producer/arranger is behind it.
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: It has a nice musicality that fits the source material
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: I am a fan of shitty Moog cash-ins.
	2:30pm Funky16Corners: I am in small doses
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: I have a sudden yearning for sauerkraut and spaetzl, served by stoic waiters in black jumpsuits.
	2:35pm listener james from westwood: Now is the time on Sprockets when we tell you the specials!
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: "I would like..." "WE DON'T CARE! YOU WILL HAVE WHAT WE GIVE YOU!!"
	2:36pm northguineahills: I don't want to go back to work. All of my files/software is glitching, and no one else is there. (I also went to a nice DIY eletronic/noise/performance art show that kept me up until past 2).
	2:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for playing the German-language version of this song, Larry. It's nice to hear the entire 17 or so minutes on the radio. 22 minutes? I lost track...
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome Wendy!
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Who am I to edit Ralf an Florian?
	2:39pm Guido from Cologne: But the intro with tzhe starting car was missing. Missing on your CD?
	2:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Nobody should edit Ralf und Florian. Or Hans and Franz!
	2:42pm Funky16Corners: I have this as a download. It clocks in at 21:53 and the album is 22:30
	2:43pm Funky16Corners: That's a weird edit
	2:43pm northguineahills: Wait, there's an English version? The LP I got at a thrift store (20 years ago), the whole album is in German.
	2:43pm Guido from Cologne: That would fit the missing intro
	2:44pm Funky16Corners: According to Discogs there are a SHITLOAD of versions! www.discogs.com...
	2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: I think my CD at home has them singing this in English, but sometimes I make shit up, so take that under advisement.
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Calling all Kraftwerk experts!
	2:49pm Guido from Cologne: en.wikipedia.org... Fun, fun, fun on the Autobahn :-D
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: The 8-track looks cool.
	2:54pm JtotheK: enjoyed the show Larry - and being able to tune in/comment during it! (Try to catch the show during the week, but when I cannot I check out via archives.)
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening J!
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: How many overdubs dit that Brandenburg Concerto need on good old monophonic Moogs?
	2:55pm Dominick: Thanks Larry!
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Still a few more tunes coming!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings from the admissions office of a liberal arts college somewhere in the Eastern Midwest!
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! You made it!
	2:58pm Doug Schulkind: First time on the campus of my (first) alma mater in 34 years. #weird
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show Larry!
	2:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	2:59pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - I can imagine. I have yet to return to mine. lest I burst into flames when I cross the threshhold.
	2:59pm Guido from Cologne: enjoyed a lot, thanks
	3:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Guido!
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Flames is still entirely possible here.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Mine's Boston College; haven't been there in bloody ages. Now's the time at the height of fall. May do so in 2019 when I have a conference in Providence; many of my fellow editors live in Boston, so there's an excuse to extend the trip temporally and spatially.
	3:02pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Larry! Happy college-ing, @Doug!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	3:04pm listener james from westwood: Glad to have heard you live and in the daylight!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Thanks James! Glad to be heard!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Now everybody get up and dance!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Fun show, Larry, thanks!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Dr!
	3:07pm Uncle Michael: This album is so great.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed!
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Walter became Wendy.
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Stuntman is a great movie.
	3:12pm Alex in Illinois: Walter cha... what Uncle Michael said.
	3:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: The artist is Wendy Carlos, and according to etiquette, even when her name was Walter, it's correct to use "she/her" pronouns to refer to her throughout their life unless you are requested to do otherwise.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: I could not remember the sequence, and oddly the album is credited to Walter in 1973/74
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: And thank you Wendy for the clarification. I should have checked that out ahead of time.

	12:24pm glenn: and i also love the texas tornadoes.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: (muh-RINN county)
	12:31pm doctorjazz: What a GREAT version of "Needles and Pins"! May supplant the Ramones as my fave...
	12:31pm glenn: but then, my pedantry kicks in, and i ask - does texas get many tornadoes? shouldn't they be the texas hurricanes?
	12:32pm Funky16Corners: Brushfires?
	12:33pm glenn: or the texas tropical storms?
	12:33pm Funky16Corners: The Texas Being Hassled By the Fuzz So We Moved To California
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: My SDQ experience was suitably weird. I saw them in around '83. What transpired can only be made sense of if there was miscommunication with the promoter with regard to two sets vs. early and late shows. They played for an hour and a half, took a break, came back and played the same set a second time for the same audience. A lot of people didn't stay into the wee hours to hear the same show twice.
	🥁 12:34pm Brian in UK: The Searchers certainly did credit to this song as well as giving the Byrds a sound to copy. And I love the Byrds.
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @UncleMichael - I'd-a stayed
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - The Searchers certainly liked Jackie
	12:36pm glenn: i like sally timms' version of this.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I hung in there for most of round two.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: That was right around the time they played on Fridays
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Mark Eric is so boss.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. I was lucky to score a copy of this album o the cheap years ago.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: It's so weird that this track is on a biker movie soundtrack
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I just have the CD Steve Stanley put out.
	12:45pm Funky16Corners: I think that has everything.
	12:45pm ndbob: nice set here Larry!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: I didn't realize the Jackie DeShannon version of Needles and Pins was the original en.wikipedia.org...
	12:46pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed! Cowritten by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I heard the Jaynetts record of this song in a Michael's craft store once. That was weird.
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: That is weird
	12:54pm glenn: mimi's linda mccartney moment.
	12:55pm Funky16Corners: I would have thought Mimi was the more musically confident/accomplished member of the duo
	12:57pm Dominick: Flashbacks are now occurring
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: As they should!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: Jimmy Griffin podcast here: ironleg.wordpress.com...
	1:07pm doctorjazz: I do a pretty good shing-a-ling!
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: Then we need a Fly expert, as well as a Boogaloo aficionado
	1:08pm Alex in Illinois: But can he the Peanut Duck?
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: I may have to dig that out for Singles Going Steady
	1:09pm Mike Sin: re: Richard Farina I was completely captivated by the style and "rhythm" of "I've Been Down So Long It Looks Up to Me" when I read it during my college days... I should re-read as a middle-aged bum and see how it hits me!
	1:09pm ndbob: @Mike tried doing that recently - didn't hold up for me
	1:10pm doctorjazz: I guess this is the follow up record to "She's A Mover"
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: I just passed it on the bookshelf a few days ago. I should grab it
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: @DrJazz - Touche!
	1:14pm ndbob: great one here!
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite garage 45s!
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: The long sticky arm of the 13th Floor Elevators reaching up to Michigan!
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Blue Things from my region. Just down the road...
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. I used to have an original concert handbill circa 1966/67 but it was damaged/lost between apartments
	1:40pm ndbob: I saw The Changin' Tymes in 1966 as an opening act for Sonny and Char
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: No shit!?!?
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: I've read about that tour
	1:42pm ndbob: Yep - Baltimore Civic Center - can't remember everyone who was there but also Len Barry and the Joe Cuba Sextet
	1:42pm ndbob: Danny Hutton
	1:43pm Funky16Corners: That's a great lineup!
	1:44pm doctorjazz: Love this Blues Magoos!
	1:45pm Funky16Corners: The Pride of the Bronx!
	1:45pm ndbob: sure was Larry
	1:46pm doctorjazz: Sounds like the "You Really Got Me" Kinks could have heard this Guilloteens record.
	1:46pm ndbob: a group here that Elvis loved
	1:46pm doctorjazz: (or vice versa...)
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Vice Versa, Kinks first
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the Guilloteens were his fave local band!
	1:56pm doctorjazz: Dick Hyman, the jazz pianist? Stride and all that historical stuff? Didn't realize he had done this kind of stuff.
	1:57pm Funky16Corners: Yes. He was a major, early proponent of the Moog synthesizer.
	1:57pm Funky16Corners: He was good at it too!
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: I actually got to see him play straight jazz stuff when I was in high school in the 70s
	2:02pm Guido from Cologne: "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose" was crazy.
	2:03pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I've actually spun that during funk sets. I love it.
	2:03pm Guido from Cologne: inspiration for "Lucky man" Moog solo, right?
	2:03pm Funky16Corners: It certainly sounds like it, doesn't it?
	2:04pm listener james from westwood: Would be surprised to learn it played no role!
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: Me too. This album was fairly popular at the time and considering how few artists were doing anything really constructive/artistic with the Moog, I wouldn't be surprised to find a copy in Keith Emerson's collection
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: There's actually a 45 edit of the Minotaur
	2:07pm JtotheK: And by "edit" you mean it's only 7 minutes 30 seconds -- on one side of the 45!
	2:08pm Funky16Corners: Oh crap, you're right!
	2:11pm Funky16Corners: I'm going to have to dig out the 45 and see how it differs from the LP
	2:13pm JtotheK: I was thinking the same thing ... haven't listened to both side by side to compare!
	2:14pm Funky16Corners: I wonder how careful and edit it is, or did some hack take out a hatchet and lop off the end?
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: There appears to have been a radio edit, too, at 3:15 -- www.45cat.com...
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: Well, I'm going to need that too, won't I?
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: I think my wife just sensed a disturbance in the force...
	2:19pm Guido from Cologne: never would have expected this to be that good
	2:20pm Mike Sin: "Electric Tommy" actually benefits from the drums not being electric! Roger Linn (of LinnDrum) sez: "Boys, just hold out few more years -- I'm almost there with this cool gizmo!"
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I'm not a fan of shitty Moog cash-ins. I love this one. Joe Renzetti, the Philly producer/arranger is behind it.
	2:20pm Funky16Corners: It has a nice musicality that fits the source material
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: I am a fan of shitty Moog cash-ins.
	2:30pm Funky16Corners: I am in small doses
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: I have a sudden yearning for sauerkraut and spaetzl, served by stoic waiters in black jumpsuits.
	2:35pm listener james from westwood: Now is the time on Sprockets when we tell you the specials!
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: "I would like..." "WE DON'T CARE! YOU WILL HAVE WHAT WE GIVE YOU!!"
	2:36pm northguineahills: I don't want to go back to work. All of my files/software is glitching, and no one else is there. (I also went to a nice DIY eletronic/noise/performance art show that kept me up until past 2).
	2:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for playing the German-language version of this song, Larry. It's nice to hear the entire 17 or so minutes on the radio. 22 minutes? I lost track...
	2:36pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome Wendy!
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Who am I to edit Ralf an Florian?
	2:39pm Guido from Cologne: But the intro with tzhe starting car was missing. Missing on your CD?
	2:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Nobody should edit Ralf und Florian. Or Hans and Franz!
	2:42pm Funky16Corners: I have this as a download. It clocks in at 21:53 and the album is 22:30
	2:43pm Funky16Corners: That's a weird edit
	2:43pm northguineahills: Wait, there's an English version? The LP I got at a thrift store (20 years ago), the whole album is in German.
	2:43pm Guido from Cologne: That would fit the missing intro
	2:44pm Funky16Corners: According to Discogs there are a SHITLOAD of versions! www.discogs.com...
	2:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: I think my CD at home has them singing this in English, but sometimes I make shit up, so take that under advisement.
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: Calling all Kraftwerk experts!
	2:49pm Guido from Cologne: en.wikipedia.org... Fun, fun, fun on the Autobahn :-D
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: The 8-track looks cool.
	2:54pm JtotheK: enjoyed the show Larry - and being able to tune in/comment during it! (Try to catch the show during the week, but when I cannot I check out via archives.)
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening J!
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: How many overdubs dit that Brandenburg Concerto need on good old monophonic Moogs?
	2:55pm Dominick: Thanks Larry!
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Still a few more tunes coming!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings from the admissions office of a liberal arts college somewhere in the Eastern Midwest!
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! You made it!
	2:58pm Doug Schulkind: First time on the campus of my (first) alma mater in 34 years. #weird
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show Larry!
	2:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	2:59pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - I can imagine. I have yet to return to mine. lest I burst into flames when I cross the threshhold.
	2:59pm Guido from Cologne: enjoyed a lot, thanks
	3:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Guido!
	3:00pm Doug Schulkind: Flames is still entirely possible here.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Mine's Boston College; haven't been there in bloody ages. Now's the time at the height of fall. May do so in 2019 when I have a conference in Providence; many of my fellow editors live in Boston, so there's an excuse to extend the trip temporally and spatially.
	3:02pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Larry! Happy college-ing, @Doug!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	3:04pm listener james from westwood: Glad to have heard you live and in the daylight!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Thanks James! Glad to be heard!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Now everybody get up and dance!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Fun show, Larry, thanks!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Dr!
	3:07pm Uncle Michael: This album is so great.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed!
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Walter became Wendy.
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Stuntman is a great movie.
	3:12pm Alex in Illinois: Walter cha... what Uncle Michael said.
	3:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: The artist is Wendy Carlos, and according to etiquette, even when her name was Walter, it's correct to use "she/her" pronouns to refer to her throughout their life unless you are requested to do otherwise.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: I could not remember the sequence, and oddly the album is credited to Walter in 1973/74
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: And thank you Wendy for the clarification. I should have checked that out ahead of time.
