	10:00pm Jeff Ash: Reporting for duty from the freezer known as Wisconsin.
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Our temps are on the way down, but nothing like you guys (as usual)
	10:05pm geezerette: Hello, Larry and all corners! We need tp smooth our corners out and exhale in smoky LA.
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Geezerette! Those fires are scary.
	10:06pm northguineahills: If it gets any cooler, I might have to put on a hoodie (57F/14C).
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	10:10pm still b/p: It's the season for stuffing a partial old heavy sock in the front door's mail slot to block the blow hole!
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP!
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: My son was asking today when it would be time to start using the fireplace.
	10:17pm cupcakejenny: Hi all!
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: Did I miss funky16corners Jim Nabors tribute?
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: He’s been inconsolable all week.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Golllleeeeee....yes. Yes you did. For shame.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I played all of side one of his version of the Man of La Mancha. Everyone was in tears.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: TO DREEEEEAMMMMM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREEAAMMMMMMM!!!
	10:21pm cupcakejenny: I was hoping for sunrise sunset
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: PYLE?!?!?
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: From 'Jim Nabors Sings Jewish Wedding Classics'?
	10:22pm geezerette: Ahhhhhh...better! Hi, NGH!. S B/P! My husband & I will now happily collapse in front of our merely decorative unlit fireplace. Cheers,CC Jenny! He lives on in media heaven.
	10:22pm Parq: Smokin' first set, Larry. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Mrs. Parq and I are non-smokers.
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:23pm northguineahills: In 24 hrs, my formerly destroyed cd tower will be structurally sound. I just need to append the rotating base to it, flip it (the movers crushed it while it was upside down.) (just put the last epoxy in the joins). This weekend I should be able to get rid of 5-6 boxes of cds (the boxes, not the cds). At least nothing else looks too broken (the other cd tower was slightly damaged, and a little glue but it back together), and the other cd shelves look fine.
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: I still have most of my CDs in boxes. I need to find a way to get them out so I can get at them readily
	10:24pm cupcakejenny: It’s apparently on a 1967 album with Hasta Luego? Nabors is all things to all people
	10:25pm cupcakejenny: Oy! NGH, moving is awful!
	10:27pm still b/p: I chafed at an obit/article author's choice to say "best known" for Gomer Pyle. Well that was true when I was in elementary school, but in the decades since, I've seen and enjoyed him plenty more in Mayberry revisits and that became a much more familiar association than the Marine base. For many others, too, I'm sure. I wanna holler in the writer's face like Sgt. Carter would at Gomer.
	10:30pm john mount: loved the piano tune, and linda ronstadt!
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey John!
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey everybody! It's John's birthday! Happy Birthday John!
	10:31pm cupcakejenny: Happy Birthday John!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Still b/p - Nabors was a talented guy, but I can't think of hin without thinking of the SCTV Merv Griffith Show skit, where there was an alternative Mayberry where the role of Gomer Pyle was played by impressionist Fred TRavalena
	10:32pm john mount: ah thanks Larry!! loving the show tonight
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Thank John!
	10:33pm Parq: Sill, the "probably best know for" curse has stalked quality (and/or cool) actors for decades.
	10:33pm northguineahills: @cupcakejenny: That's why we procrastinate doing until living conditions get beyond tolerable! Feliz cumpleanos john! Well, my functioning tower has Abyssinians - Future Sound of London, so I have access to almost a third of my cds.
	10:35pm john mount: thank you! what better way to end my birthday than with some great tunes. Never can say goodbye haha
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite songs. I probably have ten or 12 versions
	10:37pm still b/p: I play the Never Can Say Goodbye sung-melody line on two strings on the acoustic guitar. It does not sound like this. The best-known thing sets my teeth on edge...as it does for at least a few other sets of teeth among commenters.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: I always wonder about artists that have broad careers but get their bread and butter off of one particular thing that is far from their best
	10:50pm still b/p: Peggy...Peggy...Peggy.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: I didn't have the heart to stack up a third Peggy
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: i Love Love
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: My fave US 60s band along with Buffalo Springfield
	11:02pm David W: For no rational reason, right after the Jack Wilson track, I thought of Mose Allison in this set. (Yes I have a Chicago bias.) Then you took me away... Thanks Larry!
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: and i Love Peggy. ... i know little about the other Peggy, aside from the mod squad. -was she also in the original broadway run of "hair"?
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: Sledge's version of kind woman is splendid
	11:07pm David W: Peggy married Quincy Jones. Did he produce this?
	11:07pm Parq: Can you imagine the sort of vibes Rashida Jones grew up with? I think about that a lot when I go back and re-watch her scenes from "Parks and Rec".
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: She seems like a very cool person.
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: @David - That Peggy Lipton LP was produced by Lou Adler. Predates her time with Quincy, I Think
	11:13pm David W: Thanks. And never in Hair. But Twin Peaks!
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: thanks David. i think i confused her name with Shelley (Sally?) Plimpton's.
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: hey C! Yes, Shelley Plimpton was kind of the female lead in the original cast of HAIR. She sings FRank Mills on the soundtrack
	11:19pm doctorjazz: Funky Beatles. Hi all!
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Hi Dr!
	11:22pm Dean: Mehldau does a sweet version of MNS.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to look for that
	11:24pm Dean: On Largo, which also includes a cover of "Paranoid Android." If I didn't know it was a Radiohead tune, I'd enjoy it even more.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: That sounds cool. I always dig jazz guys going out of their way to find unusual material
	11:27pm doctorjazz: Love Brad Mehldau's take as well, Dean.
	11:37pm doctorjazz: The Bad Plus were known for oddball covers of rock tunes, did a great version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" www.youtube.com...
	11:40pm Dean: I like Kikuchi's Piaf and Puccini. Not as outré as Nirvana, I suppose.
	11:40pm geezerette: Larry, this show has been like a drive up PCH on a clear,full moon night.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: That was my intention, if geographically oriented Eastward, though I supposed it should be applied to a peaceful,, happy place of your choosing.
	11:42pm geezerette: Hi, Doc & Dean. :)
	11:42pm Dean: Evening, geezerette. Making smores?
	11:43pm doctorjazz: Hey Geezerette!
	11:44pm geezerette: Larry, exactly what we needed without knwing it. DJ magic. Thanks!
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Did we lose transmission for a minute?
	11:45pm doctorjazz: Been hearing lots of uninterrupted Paul Simon.
	11:46pm Funky16Corners: Something happened and the signal dropped. It should be back up
	11:46pm doctorjazz: OOPS, my media player on the computer switched over to album files...
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: I'm playing it in the app on my phone and it seems to be ok
	11:48pm doctorjazz: Nice version of Disney Girls (1957), hadn't heard it.
	11:48pm geezerette: Dean, we could if we drove for 20 minutes. We're fine but it's sadf or a lot of people.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: This is my fave.
	11:48pm doctorjazz: Night all! Thanks Larry!
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: Nite DR!
	11:50pm still b/p: I heard from an acquaintance about how she and and friends used to rotate between stints as characters at Disney World and then as burlesque and exotic dancers.
	11:50pm Jeff Ash: We're all getting so mellow we may not be able to move after the show.
	11:50pm Dean: Have to confess that I love Art Garfunkel's Disney Girls, too.
	11:50pm Jeff Ash: Which is not a bad thing.
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: i'm still working. still moving. (even if my mind is mellow)
	11:55pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry!
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: I forgot about Garfunkel's version
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	11:55pm Webhamster Henry: Do you have "disinHAIRited" - a double album of HAIR cutouts?
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: I do indeed!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: is that a coincidence? (that i mention Shelley Plimpton and you're planning a hair show?)
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: It is both of us tapping into the zeitgeist!
	11:56pm Webhamster Henry: Interesting in places, good thing they cut 'em in others!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, there are a surprising number of songs that didn't make the final cut
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: hmm, weird! Thanks Larry!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Thanks for listening!
	11:57pm Webhamster Henry: Well, it'll be a Hairy show next week! Thanks!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!

	10:00pm Jeff Ash: Reporting for duty from the freezer known as Wisconsin.
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Our temps are on the way down, but nothing like you guys (as usual)
	10:05pm geezerette: Hello, Larry and all corners! We need tp smooth our corners out and exhale in smoky LA.
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Geezerette! Those fires are scary.
	10:06pm northguineahills: If it gets any cooler, I might have to put on a hoodie (57F/14C).
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	10:10pm still b/p: It's the season for stuffing a partial old heavy sock in the front door's mail slot to block the blow hole!
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP!
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: My son was asking today when it would be time to start using the fireplace.
	10:17pm cupcakejenny: Hi all!
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: Did I miss funky16corners Jim Nabors tribute?
	10:19pm cupcakejenny: He’s been inconsolable all week.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Golllleeeeee....yes. Yes you did. For shame.
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I played all of side one of his version of the Man of La Mancha. Everyone was in tears.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: TO DREEEEEAMMMMM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREEAAMMMMMMM!!!
	10:21pm cupcakejenny: I was hoping for sunrise sunset
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: PYLE?!?!?
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: From 'Jim Nabors Sings Jewish Wedding Classics'?
	10:22pm geezerette: Ahhhhhh...better! Hi, NGH!. S B/P! My husband & I will now happily collapse in front of our merely decorative unlit fireplace. Cheers,CC Jenny! He lives on in media heaven.
	10:22pm Parq: Smokin' first set, Larry. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Mrs. Parq and I are non-smokers.
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	10:23pm northguineahills: In 24 hrs, my formerly destroyed cd tower will be structurally sound. I just need to append the rotating base to it, flip it (the movers crushed it while it was upside down.) (just put the last epoxy in the joins). This weekend I should be able to get rid of 5-6 boxes of cds (the boxes, not the cds). At least nothing else looks too broken (the other cd tower was slightly damaged, and a little glue but it back together), and the other cd shelves look fine.
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: I still have most of my CDs in boxes. I need to find a way to get them out so I can get at them readily
	10:24pm cupcakejenny: It’s apparently on a 1967 album with Hasta Luego? Nabors is all things to all people
	10:25pm cupcakejenny: Oy! NGH, moving is awful!
	10:27pm still b/p: I chafed at an obit/article author's choice to say "best known" for Gomer Pyle. Well that was true when I was in elementary school, but in the decades since, I've seen and enjoyed him plenty more in Mayberry revisits and that became a much more familiar association than the Marine base. For many others, too, I'm sure. I wanna holler in the writer's face like Sgt. Carter would at Gomer.
	10:30pm john mount: loved the piano tune, and linda ronstadt!
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey John!
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey everybody! It's John's birthday! Happy Birthday John!
	10:31pm cupcakejenny: Happy Birthday John!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Still b/p - Nabors was a talented guy, but I can't think of hin without thinking of the SCTV Merv Griffith Show skit, where there was an alternative Mayberry where the role of Gomer Pyle was played by impressionist Fred TRavalena
	10:32pm john mount: ah thanks Larry!! loving the show tonight
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Thank John!
	10:33pm Parq: Sill, the "probably best know for" curse has stalked quality (and/or cool) actors for decades.
	10:33pm northguineahills: @cupcakejenny: That's why we procrastinate doing until living conditions get beyond tolerable! Feliz cumpleanos john! Well, my functioning tower has Abyssinians - Future Sound of London, so I have access to almost a third of my cds.

	11:40pm Dean: I like Kikuchi's Piaf and Puccini. Not as outré as Nirvana, I suppose.
	11:40pm geezerette: Larry, this show has been like a drive up PCH on a clear,full moon night.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: That was my intention, if geographically oriented Eastward, though I supposed it should be applied to a peaceful,, happy place of your choosing.
	11:42pm geezerette: Hi, Doc & Dean. :)
	11:42pm Dean: Evening, geezerette. Making smores?

	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Did we lose transmission for a minute?
	11:45pm doctorjazz: Been hearing lots of uninterrupted Paul Simon.
