	10:00pm hyde: hi
	10:01pm Gary: Laaary!
	10:01pm Jeff Ash: In the house.
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Hyde, Gary!
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	10:02pm northguineahills: I'm off to an improv/art opening/noise/happening show in 15 minutes, at least I can that much!
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	10:05pm northguineahills: at least I can hear that much... no typey good.
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:06pm geezerette: Plate of ribs will do just fine. Hi, Larry and all!
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Geezerette!
	10:11pm northguineahills: I know I've said a septillion times, but I live Where Bo Diddley lived and died. The downtown plaza is named after him. I was thrilled when I noticed that.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: huh - of course....the only version of mellow down easy i ever heard is by zz top, and somehow never thought about seeking out the original.
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: Bo was the truth, as was Little Walter. There's a great 2CD comp of Little Walter's best stuff that is indispensible.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ngh it seems to me that you live in an anomalous haven, to some degree.
	10:16pm northguineahills: I lucked out, but after all the shit that happened to me in the last 18 months, I'm letting it ride.... salud mis amigos!
	10:17pm coelacanth∅: tchau camarada
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: Hi everyone
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Hello Jenny!
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: NGH Enjoy your happening!
	10:22pm geezerette: Have that Little Walter double cd & was obsessed with it for a while. :)
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: There's a lot to be obsessed about, especially if you dig that harp sound.
	10:24pm Jeff Ash: If this set is going where I think it's going, all these groups made the rounds of the old roadhouse/campus/frat/nightclub circuit that existed in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan during the mid to late '60s
	10:24pm geezerette: I love it!
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: I can imagine, not too far to go from Chicago
	10:25pm Jeff Ash: Pack up the van!
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: The Jersey Shore go a little of that action via NYC during the 60s. Bands would come down and play in Asbury Park. National acts at the Convention Hall
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: good version. i love the original but i love when someone does something totally differently and it's also good.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: ...(or, was that the original?!)
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Nope, Monkees is the OG
	10:32pm Jeff Ash: Midwest or Jersey Shore, love those stories. A scene long gone.
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Yes, regional everything, live music, radio etc
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: OK who didn't see this coming?
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Oh man, I used to practice the drums to Chicago's Greatest Hits, ALL THE TIME
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: Larry, this may interest you... Mike Nesmith did in fact pen mary,mary; but the butterfield blues band actually recorded it first. - at least according to wikipedia.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: I believe that.
	10:39pm Doug Schulkind: I keep trying to come up with a respectable quip that has Trans Fats Domino as the comeback, but I keep failing. Good evening Testifiers!
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: hey Doug!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: (on this, the anniversary of Fats' death, within a day)
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: nice
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: I'll be paying due tribute to Fats next Wednesday
	10:50pm JtotheK: back to back fantastic 45s! love both the billy butler and betty everett. hi everyone.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: Hey J!
	10:54pm geezerette: Mayfield was some kind of angel.
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: He was indeed. An absolute master.
	10:55pm JtotheK: gene chandler has so many great 45s. i can take care of myself is a doozy... mr big shot has been a want for a while, hope to come across it someday. and you threw a lucky punch is a fun one, too -- and on and on and on!
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: Another underrated performer
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: g @10.54 that's an excellent way to put it.
	10:59pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16 Corners at 10:45 Phat!
	11:02pm Funky16Corners: I think Fats gets left behind sometimes because he wasn't flashy, but hugely important. Same deal with the Everly Brothers
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Doug you better come up with something for that trans fat joke before next wednesday!
	11:04pm geezerette: @Coel, thanks!
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: in the book "the stars & superstars of rock"(or something like that) Fats is given the attention he deserves, at least. that author considered him essential to the foundation of rock. ( i may be paraphrasing quite a lot there)
	11:06pm JtotheK: I realized I had made a corny Fats Domino related comment on a Fine Wine program. Thanks to vigorous internet research I have found. Here goes:
	11:08pm JtotheK: It was something related Yahtzee and Chubby Checker. (Dominos...Checkers...Yahtzee!) Ha ha!
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: haha! silly!
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: As long as you don't associate him with substandard pizza
	11:10pm JtotheK: i believe in that case pizza should read "pizza".
	11:11pm JtotheK: darrow fletcher 45s on jacklyn while hard to come by are GREAT.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: Someone should do a comp of soul by younger teenagers in the 60s. I think Fletcher was 14 or 15 when he recorded that 45
	11:13pm JtotheK: i don't remember if pain gets deeper is before or after my young misery.
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: Pain was earlier by three catalog numbers
	11:15pm JtotheK: thanks!
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: madison time-ish
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: I'm sure that was the intention, tempo-wise.
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: JtotheK - Thanks to Discogs, never more than a keystroke away!
	11:32pm JtotheK: i gotta head out, will catch the rest via archives. thanks larry, great show!
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: Nite J! Thanks!
	11:35pm cupcakejenny: Is this the Easter egg dedication to your wife! I found it ;)
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: I knew you'd like this one!
	11:59pm Jeff Ash: I gotta go now.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! g'night all
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff, C!
