Listener comments!
	7:02pm Funky16Corners: Helloooooooo?!?
	7:15pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry! (sometimes it takes a bit for folks to find the comments page when someone is subbing...)
	7:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dr!
	7:16pm Funky16Corners: There will in fact be a fair amount of jazz this evening!
	7:19pm glenn: and it's not easy being on opposite hearty white.
	7:20pm zonk ludlow: Evening Larry. Choices thus far have created a great start to the day here in Australia. Absolutely loved the Arthur Lee, never heard that version beforehand. Is it it from the Live DVD?
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Cool! (but soul and funk will be fine with me as well).
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Never heard that live version of You Set the Scene either, was great!
	7:23pm Funky16Corners: Hi everyone!
	7:24pm doctorjazz: (I think of Horace Silver being as much soul/funk as jazz)
	7:24pm Funky16Corners: He was certainly influential in that regard, and went on to make some funky stuff when he had Andy Bey in the band
	7:25pm Funky16Corners: That Love: Forever Changes Concert album is really excellent. Top shelf presentation and Arthur was in great form
	7:26pm Funky16Corners: @Zonk - There is a CD release of that concert that is from the same shows as the DVD
	7:27pm geezerette: Happy Jolly HO-HO-HO !!!
	7:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	7:27pm geezerette: ...and latkes. :)
	7:28pm glenn: who you calling a ho?
	7:28pm Funky16Corners: We made it all the way through Hanukkah without latkes. I might have to make some this weekend
	7:28pm doctorjazz: Fabulous Joe Henderson sax solo! latkes done for this year.
	7:29pm geezerette: beg yer pardon. :D
	7:29pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I used to have a great 3CD set of Henderson on Blue Note that an ex-coworker boosted. Amazing breadth as leader and sideman
	7:31pm geezerette: call them potato pancakes, suitable for any occasion.
	7:31pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. Gotta have that sour cream and applesauce!
	7:32pm geezerette: yum!
	7:32pm doctorjazz: Still have some Trader Joe's left over potato pancakes-not home made, but a close second.
	7:33pm Funky16Corners: We have a huge deli called Harold's about an hour from here that make great, gigantic potato pancakes
	7:35pm zonk ludlow: Thanks for the heads-up, tracked it down and ordered.
	7:35pm geezerette: Loving the mellowness. Sounds like a great deli, are you lucky or what.
	7:36pm Funky16Corners: It's amazing. Everything they make is huge, but the quality is excellent. Great pastrami, great matzoh ball soup, OUTSTANDING pickles!
	7:36pm stevieg: Tasteful. I got to meet Arthur Lee and Johnny Echols not long before Arthur passed. The band Love, or Baby Lemonade with Arthur and Johnny were appearing at a club in San Francisco and I got Johnny's and Arthur's autographs on the Live Forever Changes CD. I waited many years to see them and they did not disappoint.
	7:38pm Funky16Corners: I only got to see Arthur once, at Maxwells in Hoboken, right before he went to prison. He was backed by the guys from Das Damen. Great show but he was a little paranoid.
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: Greeting Rev. Grogan and all congregants!
	7:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Doug!
	7:43pm Funky16Corners: Really interesting group on this record: www.discogs.com...
	7:45pm doctorjazz: Mellow Mingus, nice!
	7:46pm Funky16Corners: Very unusual record for him. A fave since I was a kid and got my Pop's copy.
	7:47pm Little Danny: Larry! Pleasure to have you here!
	7:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	7:48pm Funky16Corners: Def an honor to be here on GTDR with you and the whole gang.
	7:48pm Little Danny: Right back atcha, buddy
	7:48pm doctorjazz: Great Deli in Miltown NJ, go often, Lox, Stock and Deli. 2nd Avenue Deli in NYC (at the new location) is a great deli, but you need to take out a second mortgage before you go there.
	7:49pm Funky16Corners: I've been to Lox Stock and Deli, back when we lived in South River!
	7:51pm Funky16Corners: I like Katz's in NYC
	7:51pm northguineahills: Shuggie!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: This is the original Strawberry Letter 23, no? Nice!
	7:51pm Funky16Corners: It is
	7:51pm northguineahills: I prefer Russ & Daughters (first place I went to when I moved to NYC).
	7:52pm doctorjazz: Grew up spending weekends at Katz's with the family, one of these days I'll send a salami to a boy in the army.
	7:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! Never been to Russ and Daughters, but I'd love to go there.
	7:52pm Funky16Corners: The last time I was at Katz's the counter guy asked me if I liked my pastrami lean or "juicy like Lucy".
	7:54pm Little Danny: Oh hell yes "Get Carter"
	7:55pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	7:55pm Funky16Corners: Close your eyes and your on the train with Michael Caine
	7:57pm doctorjazz: Heading out, finished work, thanks Larry (listen some more in the car with the phone app)
	7:57pm Funky16Corners: Nite Dr!
	7:59pm doctorjazz: (can't leave with Blind Willie playing)
	7:59pm Funky16Corners: Good policy
	8:00pm melinda: Hi Larry and folks
	8:01pm Funky16Corners: Hi Melinda!
	8:03pm northguineahills: Crap, it's after 8, I need to leave work.
	8:04pm Funky16Corners: Uh oh! Better hightail it out of there and begin the leisure portion of the day!
	8:06pm Little Danny: Gorgeous, this Dameron. I need to dig deeper into his catalog
	8:06pm Funky16Corners: This album is great. Sahib Shihab on alto
	8:07pm geezerette: Hi all. Danny, Dameron so damn classsy.
	8:07pm Funky16Corners: There's a great series of Chet Baker sessions recorded in Italy where he does a bunch of Dameron's compositions
	8:08pm Funky16Corners: Maybe recorded in France, gotta pull them out
	8:08pm northguineahills: oh, yeah, leisure, I forgot about that. Plus there's a good show tonight. (not sure of the genres, but It's usually adventurous and eclectic and I have yet to be disappointed. Trying to get extra time so I can take Boxing Day off.
	8:08pm geezerette: Wow, must look for that!
	8:08pm Little Danny: Hi geez! I am agreeing with you
	8:09pm still b/p: Do they know it's Christmas...at the Miami Fontainebleau?
	8:10pm northguineahills: hear ya back at home!
	8:10pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if it's still open?
	8:14pm still b/p: Demi Lovato poolside New Year's Eve! Single ticket starts at $275. Tables $4000- $40,000. Who's in?
	8:15pm geezerette: B/P, funny! When I was a kid we lived in Miami for awhile and while pool-hopping with friends I remember old ladies in the hotel mezanine draped in mink stoles.
	8:20pm glenn: well, yeah. they had to hide the jewels and the leopard print under something.
	8:21pm still b/p: When I think of Miami and places like Fontainebleau, I think of Gleason because of that skyline in his show open; and Sinatra...in 2015, the hotel made much ado with "100 days of unique programming" counting down to what would've been Franks 100th birthday.
	🥁 8:21pm David Shortell: Other Michael Caine movies subject to remakes were "Sleuth", "The Italian Job" and "Alfie".
	8:22pm geezerette: ha ha!
	8:22pm Doug Schulkind: Something about pairing the longest night of the year with Testify! make the universe seem whole.
	8:23pm Funky16Corners: I am only prepared to go to 10, then it's up to Danny to carry us into the beginning of winter
	8:24pm geezerette: Doug! Leonard!
	8:26pm redkayak: This is pretty awesome.
	8:26pm redkayak: Happy Holidays all, BTW :)
	8:26pm Funky16Corners: This is a really "hot" recording, too. If you listen closely in the quiet parts you can hear people moving, picking up their bows, or turning music pages
	8:27pm Funky16Corners: Hi Red!
	8:28pm redkayak: Howdy Larry - sounding very good out here in Chicago-land!
	8:29pm geezerette: Same to you,Red!
	8:30pm Funky16Corners: I think in some ways, British composers of the 20th century had an influence on progressive rock and pop in the UK later on, if not directly, then indirectly as it passed through jazz. Like Debussy, Ravel, Milhaud and Stravinsky.
	8:30pm redkayak: Hi @geezerette! Thanks.... hope Santa finds you happy & healthy this season :)
	8:36pm geezerette: ...and you as well! We all made it through 2017...
	8:37pm Funky16Corners: By the very skin of our teeth.
	8:38pm northguineahills: note to self: When making dim sum sauce w/ fish sauce, make sure to not leave it out when going back to work. Ugggh, it smells in here!
	8:38pm redkayak: And how. What a year.
	8:39pm geezerette: Here's to a shiny new year of sanity and compassion.
	8:39pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed
	8:39pm redkayak: I'm not sorry to see 2017 in the rear view mirror. 2018 just has to be better....
	8:40pm Funky16Corners: Literally has to be.
	8:40pm geezerette: NGH, are you creating new life forms by accident?
	8:41pm redkayak: @ngh Happy Holidays to you too :)
	8:41pm glenn: well, since trump will be removed, along with most of the rest of the right wing retards, and the maple leafs and raptors are gonna clean up, 2018 is gonna be a fine year.
	8:42pm Funky16Corners: As they say, 'From your mouth to God's ears"
	8:42pm redkayak: @glenn - - I like the way you're thinking there
	8:43pm northguineahills: I dug it Larry! @geezerette: or communicating w/ alien lifeforms through olfactory cues. @redkayak: Souper Happy Duper Fun Holly-daze to you and your kin, tambien! 2017 has been one of my worst and best years.
	8:44pm zonk ludlow: Happy Holidays to all stateside & elsewhere from Oz. The Bernstein piece puts the world in perspective, bring on 2018, may it be a better one for all.
	8:44pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I found my way to GTDR in 2017, and I'm still on this side of the dirt, and my kids are healthy, and my parents are still with us, so I have much to be grateful for. I'm still pissed at the universe.
	8:44pm glenn: now all i need is for some miracle to hit the blue jays, and all will be correct with the world.
	8:45pm geezerette: I absolutely will drink to that! All of above.
	8:45pm glenn: i'm a simple man, with simple desires.
	8:46pm northguineahills: I think I found myself one this absurd timeline in 2016 when everything went pear-shaped. I think I can get back to my original timeline by 2020, but it won't be pretty.
	8:46pm Funky16Corners: Listen hard enough to Tintern Abbey and you'll go back to 1967
	8:46pm northguineahills: There was a 90s FL shoegaze band also called Tintern Abbey (also familiar w/ this one).
	8:47pm Funky16Corners: I think I have a vague recollection of TA Mk2
	8:47pm northguineahills: In the last two years, I've lost the ability to grammar as well.
	8:48pm northguineahills: Buffalo Springfield? Yes!
	8:49pm Funky16Corners: Yes, a double-shot, too!
	8:49pm redkayak: Very cool.....
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: hello Larry and all
	9:04pm Funky16Corners: Hi C!
	9:04pm Jeff Ash: Greetings again from Green Bay, where it is snowing ever so lightly this evening.
	9:04pm coelacanth∅: damn i would've liked to've heard those sneetches
	9:04pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: (not that i don't love hearing this right now. i love this; but i know this.)
	9:05pm still b/p: As I start 2018, I think the giant tax truck is going to bear down and SMASH me as I stand at the end of the 2017 road. Bracing, bracing...but bracing against a giant onrushing truck won't do much.
	9:07pm glenn: leonard at musee d'art contemporain. www.cbc.ca...
	9:07pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, waiting to see how seriously we get reamed. As long as our corporate overlords are comfy we can bear to suffer some more. I mean, that's what this is, right? An attempt to see how far we'll bend before we snap?
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: (Leonard Cohen, that is) yeah, sb/p, me too. i don't know what's going to happen.
	9:09pm Funky16Corners: The security in Washington must be spectacular, because I can't believe I haven't seen someone jump and try to strangle Ryan or McConnell.
	9:10pm melinda: Leonard Cohen & Nico, I love it. Several years ago I was playing Leonard in the store where I work a few days before Christmas and a customer teased me about it, given the general trend of playing upbeat holiday music in retail environments. I could tell he appreciated the music but I was so out of it at the time that it hadn't occurred to me to play cheerful tunes.
	9:10pm glenn: well, i'm an outsider, but i'm pretty sure the tax scam was the straw that hoofed the apricot camel in the ballsack.
	9:10pm Funky16Corners: I think we're seeing what the public's limit is for being fed incredibly obvious bullshit.
	9:11pm Funky16Corners: It's like seeing a pile of horseshit, and you step around it gingerly, and then your neighbor dives on it and starts devouring it. How do you counter that?
	9:13pm glenn: well.... trump's whole career has been built on incredibly obvious bullshit, and he's been getting away with it for 45 years, so i'm not sure the general public has much of a clue, to be honest.
	9:14pm Funky16Corners: We need to tackle infrastructure and stupidity at the same time
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: the american public is the neighbor. his incomprehensibly terrible tv show didn't flop; that shows what kind of assholes so many people are. (i'm sorry but you'd have to be an asshole to like seeing a power trip and people suffering at the hands of it)
	9:17pm melinda: I love Neu too.
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Pedant alert! It's spelled "Neu!"
	9:18pm melinda: "We need to tackle infrastructure and stupidity at the same time "...someone needs this as a campaign slogan!
	9:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey hey hey....watch it with the exclamation points. Next thing you know it'll be umlauts.
	9:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey UM!
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: ..and of course they ate just as much shit under the bushes. (including when the bushes were in office with reagan as public puppet)
	9:20pm Uncle Michael: It really is spelled with an exclamation point, though!
	9:20pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a weird, weird country. Getting dumber all the time.
	9:20pm zonk ludlow: Watching US politics play out from afar is akin to watching a regressive alien life form take hold. Sadly it will spread to other places giving greed riddled despots the confidence to follow suit (its beginning to happen here is Australia already). Hopefully the investigation into Trump bears fruit in the NY and he is sent packing, but what comes next (Pence) isn't exactly reason to celebrate. Troubling times my friends.
	9:20pm still b/p: And they opened ANWR for drilly business, which would ordinarily be a higher profile fight, but in the greater tax racket and headlines and boisterous course to passage, it was not unknown or didn't go entirely unmentioned for objections, but was eclipsed.
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: Uncle Michael speaks the truth.
	9:21pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, Australia, Canada, the UK, this crap is happening all over the world
	9:21pm glenn: pence is in just as much doo doo as trump.
	9:24pm Funky16Corners: Yes, he's just not as much of a bloviating goon. It's a purely cosmetic difference.
	9:24pm glenn: richard.
	9:25pm Funky16Corners: I saw him a bunch of times, but never got to see him play this.
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm a bloviating goon when it comes to Neu!
	9:28pm Funky16Corners: Correct punctuation/nomenclature is a cornerstone of a civilized society. Stand tall!
	9:28pm melinda: haha
	9:29pm glenn: d'am, strait.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: I'm wound up because I get to do my show at the normal time again and I'm off work for 12 days.
	9:29pm Funky16Corners: That sounds good!
	9:30pm glenn: i'd like to dedicate my last comment to lynne truss.
	9:31pm Funky16Corners: Whodat?
	9:31pm glenn: she wrote eats, shoots and leaves.
	9:31pm Funky16Corners: Oh, ok
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: i abide by punctuation rules...it's just that i've made my own set of them.
	9:32pm Funky16Corners: As long as you use SOMETHING
	9:33pm glenn: even when richard kinda guitarwanks, he's still miles ahead.
	9:33pm Funky16Corners: The accordion keeps him grounded
	9:34pm glenn: well, yeah. what else is accordion for?
	9:34pm melinda: I like the RT commentary.
	9:38pm glenn: i clickystarred that whole set.
	9:40pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry!
	9:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Glenn!
	9:40pm Funky16Corners: Danny, post a link to your playlist in the comments here
	9:42pm Little Danny: Linksicle to playlist: wfmu.org... We're gonna fly!
	9:42pm Jeff Ash: That last set was reminiscent of "Beaker Street," the old late-night free-form freakfest on WAAY, the old clear-channel AM radio station out of Little Rock. We heard it all the way up in Wisconsin on clear nights in the '70s.
	9:42pm glenn: i know nothing about darondo, but they gotta be from philly, no?
	9:43pm Little Danny: Had you on in the background as I put together my show, Larry. What joy!
	9:43pm Funky16Corners: Bay Area/Oakland. One guy. Darondo Pulliam.
	9:43pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	9:44pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - You've mentioned that show before. Do you know if there are airchecks around?
	9:44pm glenn: oh.
	9:45pm Funky16Corners: And I will take on "late night freeform freak fest"
	9:45pm glenn: well, oakland's the philly of the west coast.
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: i consciously don't give gold stars to everything i like; just what i strongly think i should further explore. it's out of hand as it is. ...but also, as i clickystar for my own purposes, i have no reason to do it for songs i already have in my collection (6 in the last set) or artists i'm already aware to explore.
	9:45pm Jeff Ash: youtu.be...
	9:46pm Jeff Ash: Here are a bunch. www.podomatic.com...
	9:47pm glenn: my name is glenn, and i'm a clickystar whore.
	9:47pm Funky16Corners: I will explore tomorrow!
	9:48pm geezerette: So beatiful, this "Sweet Rain". Wishing everyone a sweet Holiday with people you love. Thanks, Larry and all.
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: I've been looking for Beaker Street airchecks from the early years, and unless they're in the hands of tight-fisted collectors, there aren't any.
	9:49pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Geezerette for coming out to dig the sounds!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: haha, well, i long ago surpassed the point where the star system is of much use.
	9:50pm Uncle Michael: When I say early days, I mean back when the show went on the air in '66.
	9:50pm Funky16Corners: Danny, I'm going to try my best to come in on time at 10. Please bear with me if I'm a tad late. I'm not used to having a show after mine.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: take care,g.
	9:52pm melinda: coel that's how I use the star system, too, for further exploration.
	9:53pm geezerette: (thanks coel, you too.) (waving to melinda.)
	9:53pm Little Danny: Larry! This was so great!
	9:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny! This'll be my last, then I'll back announce zippity doo dah and hand it over to you.
	9:55pm glenn: ha. i remember therese doing ladies who lunch at hoof and mouth a few years back.
	9:55pm northguineahills: I've accepted some Scott Walker, but it's an accepted taste I have yet to fully acquire. I like his recent stuff. UM is correct as a the pendant he is about Neu! (same thing w/ Talibam!).
	9:55pm still b/p: The blue-screen shutdown just came along and hit me before the tax truck! Now nerrrrvous after restart. Made it back for TLWL!
	9:56pm Funky16Corners: I'm a Scott devotee from way back. I lose him with the recent stuff
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: I never lose Scott.
	9:56pm Funky16Corners: Now I need a vodka stinger....
	9:57pm northguineahills: ok, autocorrect is getting weird, accepted = acquired.
	9:58pm melinda: hey geez!
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Larry.
	9:59pm northguineahills: Wait, what time is it?!!, ack I gotta hit the show a few blocks away.
	9:59pm melinda: Does the exclamation point mean we have to pronounce "Neu!" with enthusiasm?
	9:59pm Uncle Michael: How can you not?
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	10:00pm zonk ludlow: A heartfelt thank you Larry for a very enjoyable show, especially the new discoveries (Sneetches & the Bernstein piece). All the best for the holidays and 2018 to you and to those not hanging around for Little Danny.
	10:00pm northguineahills: apparently, melinda!
	10:00pm still b/p: Eneusiastically!
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all for listening! I had fun tonight!

Listener comments!
	7:02pm Funky16Corners: Helloooooooo?!?
	7:15pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry! (sometimes it takes a bit for folks to find the comments page when someone is subbing...)
	7:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dr!
	7:16pm Funky16Corners: There will in fact be a fair amount of jazz this evening!
	7:19pm glenn: and it's not easy being on opposite hearty white.
	7:20pm zonk ludlow: Evening Larry. Choices thus far have created a great start to the day here in Australia. Absolutely loved the Arthur Lee, never heard that version beforehand. Is it it from the Live DVD?
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Cool! (but soul and funk will be fine with me as well).
	7:20pm doctorjazz: Never heard that live version of You Set the Scene either, was great!
	7:23pm Funky16Corners: Hi everyone!
	7:24pm doctorjazz: (I think of Horace Silver being as much soul/funk as jazz)
	7:24pm Funky16Corners: He was certainly influential in that regard, and went on to make some funky stuff when he had Andy Bey in the band
	7:25pm Funky16Corners: That Love: Forever Changes Concert album is really excellent. Top shelf presentation and Arthur was in great form
	7:26pm Funky16Corners: @Zonk - There is a CD release of that concert that is from the same shows as the DVD
	7:27pm geezerette: Happy Jolly HO-HO-HO !!!
	7:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	7:27pm geezerette: ...and latkes. :)
	7:28pm glenn: who you calling a ho?
	7:28pm Funky16Corners: We made it all the way through Hanukkah without latkes. I might have to make some this weekend
	7:28pm doctorjazz: Fabulous Joe Henderson sax solo! latkes done for this year.
	7:29pm geezerette: beg yer pardon. :D
	7:29pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I used to have a great 3CD set of Henderson on Blue Note that an ex-coworker boosted. Amazing breadth as leader and sideman
	7:31pm geezerette: call them potato pancakes, suitable for any occasion.
	7:31pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. Gotta have that sour cream and applesauce!
	7:32pm geezerette: yum!
	7:32pm doctorjazz: Still have some Trader Joe's left over potato pancakes-not home made, but a close second.
	7:33pm Funky16Corners: We have a huge deli called Harold's about an hour from here that make great, gigantic potato pancakes
	7:35pm zonk ludlow: Thanks for the heads-up, tracked it down and ordered.
	7:35pm geezerette: Loving the mellowness. Sounds like a great deli, are you lucky or what.
	7:36pm Funky16Corners: It's amazing. Everything they make is huge, but the quality is excellent. Great pastrami, great matzoh ball soup, OUTSTANDING pickles!
	7:36pm stevieg: Tasteful. I got to meet Arthur Lee and Johnny Echols not long before Arthur passed. The band Love, or Baby Lemonade with Arthur and Johnny were appearing at a club in San Francisco and I got Johnny's and Arthur's autographs on the Live Forever Changes CD. I waited many years to see them and they did not disappoint.
	7:38pm Funky16Corners: I only got to see Arthur once, at Maxwells in Hoboken, right before he went to prison. He was backed by the guys from Das Damen. Great show but he was a little paranoid.
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: Greeting Rev. Grogan and all congregants!
	7:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Doug!
	7:43pm Funky16Corners: Really interesting group on this record: www.discogs.com...
	7:45pm doctorjazz: Mellow Mingus, nice!
	7:46pm Funky16Corners: Very unusual record for him. A fave since I was a kid and got my Pop's copy.
	7:47pm Little Danny: Larry! Pleasure to have you here!
	7:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	7:48pm Funky16Corners: Def an honor to be here on GTDR with you and the whole gang.
	7:48pm Little Danny: Right back atcha, buddy
	7:48pm doctorjazz: Great Deli in Miltown NJ, go often, Lox, Stock and Deli. 2nd Avenue Deli in NYC (at the new location) is a great deli, but you need to take out a second mortgage before you go there.
	7:49pm Funky16Corners: I've been to Lox Stock and Deli, back when we lived in South River!
	7:51pm Funky16Corners: I like Katz's in NYC
	7:51pm northguineahills: Shuggie!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: This is the original Strawberry Letter 23, no? Nice!
	7:51pm Funky16Corners: It is
	7:51pm northguineahills: I prefer Russ & Daughters (first place I went to when I moved to NYC).
	7:52pm doctorjazz: Grew up spending weekends at Katz's with the family, one of these days I'll send a salami to a boy in the army.
	7:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! Never been to Russ and Daughters, but I'd love to go there.
	7:52pm Funky16Corners: The last time I was at Katz's the counter guy asked me if I liked my pastrami lean or "juicy like Lucy".
	7:54pm Little Danny: Oh hell yes "Get Carter"
	7:55pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	7:55pm Funky16Corners: Close your eyes and your on the train with Michael Caine
	7:57pm doctorjazz: Heading out, finished work, thanks Larry (listen some more in the car with the phone app)
	7:57pm Funky16Corners: Nite Dr!
	7:59pm doctorjazz: (can't leave with Blind Willie playing)
	7:59pm Funky16Corners: Good policy
	8:00pm melinda: Hi Larry and folks
	8:01pm Funky16Corners: Hi Melinda!
	8:03pm northguineahills: Crap, it's after 8, I need to leave work.
	8:04pm Funky16Corners: Uh oh! Better hightail it out of there and begin the leisure portion of the day!
	8:06pm Little Danny: Gorgeous, this Dameron. I need to dig deeper into his catalog
	8:06pm Funky16Corners: This album is great. Sahib Shihab on alto
	8:07pm geezerette: Hi all. Danny, Dameron so damn classsy.
	8:07pm Funky16Corners: There's a great series of Chet Baker sessions recorded in Italy where he does a bunch of Dameron's compositions
	8:08pm Funky16Corners: Maybe recorded in France, gotta pull them out
	8:08pm northguineahills: oh, yeah, leisure, I forgot about that. Plus there's a good show tonight. (not sure of the genres, but It's usually adventurous and eclectic and I have yet to be disappointed. Trying to get extra time so I can take Boxing Day off.
	8:08pm geezerette: Wow, must look for that!
	8:08pm Little Danny: Hi geez! I am agreeing with you
	8:09pm still b/p: Do they know it's Christmas...at the Miami Fontainebleau?
	8:10pm northguineahills: hear ya back at home!
	8:10pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if it's still open?
	8:14pm still b/p: Demi Lovato poolside New Year's Eve! Single ticket starts at $275. Tables $4000- $40,000. Who's in?
	8:15pm geezerette: B/P, funny! When I was a kid we lived in Miami for awhile and while pool-hopping with friends I remember old ladies in the hotel mezanine draped in mink stoles.
	8:20pm glenn: well, yeah. they had to hide the jewels and the leopard print under something.
	8:21pm still b/p: When I think of Miami and places like Fontainebleau, I think of Gleason because of that skyline in his show open; and Sinatra...in 2015, the hotel made much ado with "100 days of unique programming" counting down to what would've been Franks 100th birthday.
	🥁 8:21pm David Shortell: Other Michael Caine movies subject to remakes were "Sleuth", "The Italian Job" and "Alfie".
	8:22pm geezerette: ha ha!
	8:22pm Doug Schulkind: Something about pairing the longest night of the year with Testify! make the universe seem whole.
	8:23pm Funky16Corners: I am only prepared to go to 10, then it's up to Danny to carry us into the beginning of winter
	8:24pm geezerette: Doug! Leonard!
	8:26pm redkayak: This is pretty awesome.
	8:26pm redkayak: Happy Holidays all, BTW :)
	8:26pm Funky16Corners: This is a really "hot" recording, too. If you listen closely in the quiet parts you can hear people moving, picking up their bows, or turning music pages
	8:27pm Funky16Corners: Hi Red!
	8:28pm redkayak: Howdy Larry - sounding very good out here in Chicago-land!
	8:29pm geezerette: Same to you,Red!
	8:30pm Funky16Corners: I think in some ways, British composers of the 20th century had an influence on progressive rock and pop in the UK later on, if not directly, then indirectly as it passed through jazz. Like Debussy, Ravel, Milhaud and Stravinsky.
	8:30pm redkayak: Hi @geezerette! Thanks.... hope Santa finds you happy & healthy this season :)
	8:36pm geezerette: ...and you as well! We all made it through 2017...
	8:37pm Funky16Corners: By the very skin of our teeth.
	8:38pm northguineahills: note to self: When making dim sum sauce w/ fish sauce, make sure to not leave it out when going back to work. Ugggh, it smells in here!
	8:38pm redkayak: And how. What a year.
	8:39pm geezerette: Here's to a shiny new year of sanity and compassion.
	8:39pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed
	8:39pm redkayak: I'm not sorry to see 2017 in the rear view mirror. 2018 just has to be better....
	8:40pm Funky16Corners: Literally has to be.
	8:40pm geezerette: NGH, are you creating new life forms by accident?
	8:41pm redkayak: @ngh Happy Holidays to you too :)
	8:41pm glenn: well, since trump will be removed, along with most of the rest of the right wing retards, and the maple leafs and raptors are gonna clean up, 2018 is gonna be a fine year.
	8:42pm Funky16Corners: As they say, 'From your mouth to God's ears"
	8:42pm redkayak: @glenn - - I like the way you're thinking there
	8:43pm northguineahills: I dug it Larry! @geezerette: or communicating w/ alien lifeforms through olfactory cues. @redkayak: Souper Happy Duper Fun Holly-daze to you and your kin, tambien! 2017 has been one of my worst and best years.
	8:44pm zonk ludlow: Happy Holidays to all stateside & elsewhere from Oz. The Bernstein piece puts the world in perspective, bring on 2018, may it be a better one for all.
	8:44pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I found my way to GTDR in 2017, and I'm still on this side of the dirt, and my kids are healthy, and my parents are still with us, so I have much to be grateful for. I'm still pissed at the universe.
	8:44pm glenn: now all i need is for some miracle to hit the blue jays, and all will be correct with the world.
	8:45pm geezerette: I absolutely will drink to that! All of above.
	8:45pm glenn: i'm a simple man, with simple desires.
	8:46pm northguineahills: I think I found myself one this absurd timeline in 2016 when everything went pear-shaped. I think I can get back to my original timeline by 2020, but it won't be pretty.
	8:46pm Funky16Corners: Listen hard enough to Tintern Abbey and you'll go back to 1967
	8:46pm northguineahills: There was a 90s FL shoegaze band also called Tintern Abbey (also familiar w/ this one).
	8:47pm Funky16Corners: I think I have a vague recollection of TA Mk2
	8:47pm northguineahills: In the last two years, I've lost the ability to grammar as well.
	8:48pm northguineahills: Buffalo Springfield? Yes!
	8:49pm Funky16Corners: Yes, a double-shot, too!
	8:49pm redkayak: Very cool.....
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: hello Larry and all
	9:04pm Funky16Corners: Hi C!
	9:04pm Jeff Ash: Greetings again from Green Bay, where it is snowing ever so lightly this evening.
	9:04pm coelacanth∅: damn i would've liked to've heard those sneetches
	9:04pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: (not that i don't love hearing this right now. i love this; but i know this.)
	9:05pm still b/p: As I start 2018, I think the giant tax truck is going to bear down and SMASH me as I stand at the end of the 2017 road. Bracing, bracing...but bracing against a giant onrushing truck won't do much.
	9:07pm glenn: leonard at musee d'art contemporain. www.cbc.ca...
	9:07pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, waiting to see how seriously we get reamed. As long as our corporate overlords are comfy we can bear to suffer some more. I mean, that's what this is, right? An attempt to see how far we'll bend before we snap?
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: (Leonard Cohen, that is) yeah, sb/p, me too. i don't know what's going to happen.
	9:09pm Funky16Corners: The security in Washington must be spectacular, because I can't believe I haven't seen someone jump and try to strangle Ryan or McConnell.
	9:10pm melinda: Leonard Cohen & Nico, I love it. Several years ago I was playing Leonard in the store where I work a few days before Christmas and a customer teased me about it, given the general trend of playing upbeat holiday music in retail environments. I could tell he appreciated the music but I was so out of it at the time that it hadn't occurred to me to play cheerful tunes.
	9:10pm glenn: well, i'm an outsider, but i'm pretty sure the tax scam was the straw that hoofed the apricot camel in the ballsack.
	9:10pm Funky16Corners: I think we're seeing what the public's limit is for being fed incredibly obvious bullshit.
	9:11pm Funky16Corners: It's like seeing a pile of horseshit, and you step around it gingerly, and then your neighbor dives on it and starts devouring it. How do you counter that?
	9:13pm glenn: well.... trump's whole career has been built on incredibly obvious bullshit, and he's been getting away with it for 45 years, so i'm not sure the general public has much of a clue, to be honest.
	9:14pm Funky16Corners: We need to tackle infrastructure and stupidity at the same time
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: the american public is the neighbor. his incomprehensibly terrible tv show didn't flop; that shows what kind of assholes so many people are. (i'm sorry but you'd have to be an asshole to like seeing a power trip and people suffering at the hands of it)
	9:17pm melinda: I love Neu too.
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Pedant alert! It's spelled "Neu!"
	9:18pm melinda: "We need to tackle infrastructure and stupidity at the same time "...someone needs this as a campaign slogan!
	9:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey hey hey....watch it with the exclamation points. Next thing you know it'll be umlauts.
	9:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey UM!
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: ..and of course they ate just as much shit under the bushes. (including when the bushes were in office with reagan as public puppet)
	9:20pm Uncle Michael: It really is spelled with an exclamation point, though!
	9:20pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a weird, weird country. Getting dumber all the time.
	9:20pm zonk ludlow: Watching US politics play out from afar is akin to watching a regressive alien life form take hold. Sadly it will spread to other places giving greed riddled despots the confidence to follow suit (its beginning to happen here is Australia already). Hopefully the investigation into Trump bears fruit in the NY and he is sent packing, but what comes next (Pence) isn't exactly reason to celebrate. Troubling times my friends.
	9:20pm still b/p: And they opened ANWR for drilly business, which would ordinarily be a higher profile fight, but in the greater tax racket and headlines and boisterous course to passage, it was not unknown or didn't go entirely unmentioned for objections, but was eclipsed.
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: Uncle Michael speaks the truth.
	9:21pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, Australia, Canada, the UK, this crap is happening all over the world
	9:21pm glenn: pence is in just as much doo doo as trump.
	9:24pm Funky16Corners: Yes, he's just not as much of a bloviating goon. It's a purely cosmetic difference.
	9:24pm glenn: richard.
	9:25pm Funky16Corners: I saw him a bunch of times, but never got to see him play this.
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm a bloviating goon when it comes to Neu!
	9:28pm Funky16Corners: Correct punctuation/nomenclature is a cornerstone of a civilized society. Stand tall!
	9:28pm melinda: haha
	9:29pm glenn: d'am, strait.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: I'm wound up because I get to do my show at the normal time again and I'm off work for 12 days.
	9:29pm Funky16Corners: That sounds good!
	9:30pm glenn: i'd like to dedicate my last comment to lynne truss.
	9:31pm Funky16Corners: Whodat?
	9:31pm glenn: she wrote eats, shoots and leaves.
	9:31pm Funky16Corners: Oh, ok
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: i abide by punctuation rules...it's just that i've made my own set of them.
	9:32pm Funky16Corners: As long as you use SOMETHING
	9:33pm glenn: even when richard kinda guitarwanks, he's still miles ahead.
	9:33pm Funky16Corners: The accordion keeps him grounded
	9:34pm glenn: well, yeah. what else is accordion for?
	9:34pm melinda: I like the RT commentary.
	9:38pm glenn: i clickystarred that whole set.
	9:40pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry!
	9:40pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Glenn!
	9:40pm Funky16Corners: Danny, post a link to your playlist in the comments here
	9:42pm Little Danny: Linksicle to playlist: wfmu.org... We're gonna fly!
	9:42pm Jeff Ash: That last set was reminiscent of "Beaker Street," the old late-night free-form freakfest on WAAY, the old clear-channel AM radio station out of Little Rock. We heard it all the way up in Wisconsin on clear nights in the '70s.
	9:42pm glenn: i know nothing about darondo, but they gotta be from philly, no?
	9:43pm Little Danny: Had you on in the background as I put together my show, Larry. What joy!
	9:43pm Funky16Corners: Bay Area/Oakland. One guy. Darondo Pulliam.
	9:43pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	9:44pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - You've mentioned that show before. Do you know if there are airchecks around?
	9:44pm glenn: oh.
	9:45pm Funky16Corners: And I will take on "late night freeform freak fest"
	9:45pm glenn: well, oakland's the philly of the west coast.
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: i consciously don't give gold stars to everything i like; just what i strongly think i should further explore. it's out of hand as it is. ...but also, as i clickystar for my own purposes, i have no reason to do it for songs i already have in my collection (6 in the last set) or artists i'm already aware to explore.
	9:45pm Jeff Ash: youtu.be...
	9:46pm Jeff Ash: Here are a bunch. www.podomatic.com...
	9:47pm glenn: my name is glenn, and i'm a clickystar whore.
	9:47pm Funky16Corners: I will explore tomorrow!
	9:48pm geezerette: So beatiful, this "Sweet Rain". Wishing everyone a sweet Holiday with people you love. Thanks, Larry and all.
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: I've been looking for Beaker Street airchecks from the early years, and unless they're in the hands of tight-fisted collectors, there aren't any.
	9:49pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Geezerette for coming out to dig the sounds!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: haha, well, i long ago surpassed the point where the star system is of much use.
	9:50pm Uncle Michael: When I say early days, I mean back when the show went on the air in '66.
	9:50pm Funky16Corners: Danny, I'm going to try my best to come in on time at 10. Please bear with me if I'm a tad late. I'm not used to having a show after mine.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: take care,g.
	9:52pm melinda: coel that's how I use the star system, too, for further exploration.
	9:53pm geezerette: (thanks coel, you too.) (waving to melinda.)
	9:53pm Little Danny: Larry! This was so great!
	9:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny! This'll be my last, then I'll back announce zippity doo dah and hand it over to you.
	9:55pm glenn: ha. i remember therese doing ladies who lunch at hoof and mouth a few years back.
	9:55pm northguineahills: I've accepted some Scott Walker, but it's an accepted taste I have yet to fully acquire. I like his recent stuff. UM is correct as a the pendant he is about Neu! (same thing w/ Talibam!).
	9:55pm still b/p: The blue-screen shutdown just came along and hit me before the tax truck! Now nerrrrvous after restart. Made it back for TLWL!
	9:56pm Funky16Corners: I'm a Scott devotee from way back. I lose him with the recent stuff
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: I never lose Scott.
	9:56pm Funky16Corners: Now I need a vodka stinger....
	9:57pm northguineahills: ok, autocorrect is getting weird, accepted = acquired.
	9:58pm melinda: hey geez!
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Larry.
	9:59pm northguineahills: Wait, what time is it?!!, ack I gotta hit the show a few blocks away.
	9:59pm melinda: Does the exclamation point mean we have to pronounce "Neu!" with enthusiasm?
	9:59pm Uncle Michael: How can you not?
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	10:00pm zonk ludlow: A heartfelt thank you Larry for a very enjoyable show, especially the new discoveries (Sneetches & the Bernstein piece). All the best for the holidays and 2018 to you and to those not hanging around for Little Danny.
	10:00pm northguineahills: apparently, melinda!
	10:00pm still b/p: Eneusiastically!
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all for listening! I had fun tonight!
