	12:07pm rw: Larry! Mary! Glad you're both still alive.
	12:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey RW, Brian!
	12:08pm Jeff Ash: (Reporting from work.)
	12:08pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	12:09pm Funky16Corners: Got a couple of funky Wisconsin sides lined up today!
	12:09pm Funky16Corners: Don't crash Mary!
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: No worries there.
	12:11pm Jeff Ash: I eagerly await funky Wisconsin sides.
	12:11pm Sem: Hello, Larry, Mary. Here for the funkafication.
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: Indeed, though it predates it by six or so years. Time to get the lawyers on the phone!
	12:12pm Funky16Corners: Hi Sem!
	12:13pm βrian: So, where you come from, does "Larry" rhyme with "Mary?"
	12:15pm Funky16Corners: My kindergarten teacher Mrs Gamble, who hailed from the south rhymed Larry and Mary all the time
	12:16pm Funky16Corners: This is all from before Kool et al decided to cash in
	12:16pm βrian: I think I've been to Rome. Near Utica, right?
	12:16pm fleep: Okay, I'm down. Now what?
	12:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Fleep!
	12:19pm Funky16Corners: As your physician I suggest getting up, then getting down again.
	12:21pm βrian: Sound levels seem awfully low to me via the mp3 stream.
	12:22pm Parq: Well hi, Larry! And Mary, enjoy the sunshine. Unless it's raining, in which case get off the road and enjoy a good book
	12:22pm Funky16Corners: Levels seem ok on this end. I always run it on my phone simultaneously and it sounds ok there, too
	12:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	12:24pm Funky16Corners: The mix on this album - esp the live tracks - is a little off.
	12:25pm Parq: "The Penguin" sounded a little muddy, but that may just be the way it's mixed. Live "Swingin'" sounds fine to me.
	12:25pm Funky16Corners: Very treble-y, and the vocal mix is a little weird
	12:26pm Funky16Corners: One of the problems with various vinyl sources, esp between 45s and LPs. Wide range of levels and quality.
	12:26pm Funky16Corners: Trying to adjust on the fly as much as possible
	12:26pm Parq: F16C, that's probably the way it was mixed at the venue, no?
	12:27pm Funky16Corners: Yes, I think so. This album is a mix of live and studio stuff and there's def a difference
	12:27pm Funky16Corners: Right? NERD, NERD, NERDY, NERD, NERD.
	12:28pm Funky16Corners: Forgive us, please?
	12:28pm Parq: Well, actually, Mary ...
	12:28pm Parq: < ducks >
	12:29pm Funky16Corners: KOOL-SPLAINING
	12:29pm Parq: Let's face it; K&tG sounds great no matter how they sound.
	12:30pm Funky16Corners: New Jersey in the house!
	12:31pm Funky16Corners: If I had it on hand, I would.
	12:36pm fleep: No pressure on the fill-in DJ, nope, No back seat driving here, nuh uh.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: I am a dyed in the wool vinyl partisan. Dig the pops.
	12:40pm βrian: Ok, we have Sex Machines on multiple WFMU streams.
	12:40pm Funky16Corners: AS IT SHOULD BE!
	12:41pm βrian: T'is spring, when one's thoughts turn to Sex Machines.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Hey, Larry, much funky stuff going on!
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:42pm Μichalis: greetings, kisses from Αthens
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: There is much funk to follow!
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Michalis!
	12:47pm Parq: βrian, way cool!
	12:47pm Funky16Corners: Dig those DRUMS!
	12:52pm Sem: Guilty of unsightly dancing on the deck in the sunshine. Still clothed, though.
	12:52pm Μichalis: Thank you for playing our fav music
	12:56pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure!
	12:57pm rw: Pulling out all 16 stops!
	12:58pm Funky16Corners: Hitting all the corners!
	12:59pm βrian: It occurs to me, you can't pull out the stops with a Hammond organ.
	1:00pm Funky16Corners: Isn't that what you do? I thought that was the source of the saying.
	1:01pm CTEmpress: OH MY SOUL! Having such a hard day this is balm I tell ya!
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: hey Connie!
	1:03pm Parq: F16C, I think the expression refers to organs of earlier origin, like big church organs or Wurlitzers in the old movie palaces.
	1:04pm Parq: Stop-splaining.
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: Ah, OK.
	1:05pm βrian: Yep, the miracle of the Hammond was that it had no pipes. Heh. So we gotta get creative.
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: I actually have a book on the Hammond in my to-be-read pile. I should dig into it. I never knew the stops were pipe-related.
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: Gonna do an all-Hammond show one of these Wednesdays.
	1:12pm βrian: I guess there are stop analogs that have a similar effect on Hammonds.
	1:17pm Funky16Corners: It's probably all buttons now on most electronic keyboards. I remember reading an interview years ago with Jimmy Smith where he said that unless you were playing a B3 and the pedals, you weren't really playing the organ.
	1:17pm JakeGould: @MaryWing: Hey! Happy running into you at the record fair. Find anything good? I scored a vinyl version of Devo’s “Freedom of Choice.” Definitely different and better than the CD or MP3 version. Someone was nice enough to put it up on YouTube. www.youtube.com...
	1:18pm JakeGould: Also… Hello Larry!
	1:20pm βrian: I'm from the midwest. It took me a while to hear the difference between "Larry" and "Mary." It finally stuck.
	1:21pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jake!
	1:23pm βrian: Is "cornbread" a euphemism, here? Just curious.
	1:24pm Parq: As the great Daniel Pinkwater once said, sometimes a corn muffin is just a corn muffin.
	1:24pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I'm pretty sue it's straight up soul food in these cases.
	1:25pm Funky16Corners: 'sure'
	1:25pm βrian: Cuz I really like cornbread, but I don't want to get in trouble.
	1:26pm Funky16Corners: I guess it depends on who you ask for 'cornbread' and under what circumstances
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: Like if you're wiggling your eyebrows and smirking, you might get smacked
	1:27pm rw: Skimming the comments, yes, I've always understood pulling all the stops as opening up all the pipes on an organ for maximum sound. And βrian, that cornbread reference had me rethinking a little too.
	1:28pm JakeGould: I knew a white Jewish girl who grew up in Washington Heights who was nicknamed “Cornbread” by her classmates.
	1:29pm Funky16Corners: Why's that?
	1:29pm rw: I had a piece of cornbread go bad sitting covered on the counter the other day. Smelled sour. I think it was fermenting.
	1:30pm CTEmpress: Little Richard: never fails!
	1:30pm βrian: I'd take cornbread over white bread, any day.
	1:31pm Parq: If I may be allowed to muddy the waters further, there used to be a Jewish bakery near where I was living in the mid 80s, where a certain sort of rye bread was called cornbread. I asked why once, and the answer was some obscure story involving a guy named Cohen.
	1:31pm JakeGould: @Funky16Corners: I guess it was a racially loaded nickname she learned to accept. shrugs
	1:32pm JakeGould: @Parq: Cohenbrie?
	1:32pm Funky16Corners: Corn rye is actually delicious
	1:32pm βrian: Possibly, it dates back to corn being a general term for grain. Barleycorn, for example.
	1:32pm Funky16Corners: @Connie - Soulful Little Richard is the best!
	1:33pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All. Great job of carrying the Wing torch, Larry. Fermented cornbread COULD be interesting!?
	1:33pm JakeGould: That’s corny!
	1:33pm JakeGould: @Kevin: Hey there!
	1:33pm fleep: Cornsplaining
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	1:35pm βrian: @flee: soft-pore corn or hard-core?
	1:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Nice seeing all the usual (local) suspects this weekend.
	1:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Listen for the "ding" when there's a score. Are you for Liverpool or Roma, Mary? www.uefa.com...
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Hello Ken!
	1:38pm CTEmpress: This Vibrations has been on my wants list for yonks!
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, it's a nice, funky version!
	1:39pm βrian: In 1969, expressways often connoted "Urban Renewal." Oy.
	1:39pm CTEmpress: OOH CHEAP!
	1:40pm Jeff Ash: Guess I must know the Soul Survivors' version of this.
	1:40pm JakeGould: “Soft-Pore Corn” sounds like a crazy artisanal food nonsense thing.
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - yes, that was the biggest hit. I have another version by Group Therapy
	1:41pm βrian: Or maybe a password for a back-alley speakeasy.
	1:41pm Jeff Ash: And now, Wisconsin represents! Harvey Scales played this when I last saw him live, 5 years ago.
	1:42pm Funky16Corners: Wow! This is a great, heavy two sider
	1:43pm βrian: You're Wisconsin? I'm Wisconsin!
	1:43pm Jeff Ash: Green Bay, Brian.
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Two Wisconsin; one Wisconsout.
	1:44pm βrian: Isthmus, here.
	1:45pm Funky16Corners: Isthmus be Wisconsin day here on Testify!
	1:45pm βrian: Our motto: "Out, out, damn Scott!"
	1:46pm βrian: Er, "damned," I guess.
	1:46pm Jeff Ash: Damn straight. Lived on that isthmus from '82 to '90.
	1:50pm JakeGould: Hey Madison! I used to live on South Hancock Street back in the 1990s. Lovely apartment in an old house. Occasionally bats would show up from the basement. I often mistook them for a few seconds as pigeons until I realized they were bats.
	1:51pm Jeff Ash: Mr. Clyde Stubblefield of Madison, Wisconsin, that is!
	1:51pm βrian: @JakeG: Big as robins, right?
	1:51pm CTEmpress: Right on right on!
	1:52pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I forgot about that! Cheese and beer all day long here!
	1:52pm JakeGould: @Brian: Fat bats.
	1:53pm Jeff Ash: But I must confess that I didn't know Marvelle and the Blue Mats as another Milwaukee group.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed!
	1:55pm JakeGould: @βrian: Also, do you remember “The Comic Strip” bar next to “O’Cayz Corral?” What an amazing lesser-than-divey drunk bar.
	1:57pm JakeGould: @Brian: I also used to live on West Main Street near the Mifflin Street Coop. It cracked me up coming from NYC since people considered those specific blocks as the “bad side of town.”
	1:57pm northguineahills: I temporally confused. I thought it was Wednesday afternoon but here's Larry! (Still don't have Internet at my new office digs, so commenting via the app.
	1:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! I'll be back tonight in my regular slot.
	1:59pm βrian: @JG: Before my time, but I did find this: host.madison.com...
	2:01pm βrian: Mifflin Street Coop was the first coop I'd known of that sold beer. This I like, I thought to myself.
	2:03pm βrian: (By comparison, my A² coop sold no white sugar, and canned tuna was kept hidden beneath the stairwell.)
	2:04pm doctorjazz: Know the Funky Meters version of the Strut, like this.
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: Yes, Meters cover from just after the original
	2:07pm david w: Hello, Larry and all! Great tunes and always amused by Madison stories... I've seen some things there...
	2:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:09pm rw: Okay, I'm making cornbread for lunch. Should have a couple slices left over if anybody's interested. Just don't wait too long or it'll get Funky sitting on the counter.
	2:10pm βrian: @rw: Cast-iron skillet recipe?
	2:11pm northguineahills: That guitar lick!
	2:12pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah!
	2:13pm Sem: Diggin' the hot buttered Hayes.
	2:13pm Funky16Corners: Can't beat it. As big an epic as has ever been layed down by anyone, in any genre
	2:14pm CTEmpress: Really, ISAAC!!!!
	2:14pm βrian: Apropos of nothing, we had snow remnants on the ground 5 days ago. This morning, the AC was running on City buses.
	2:15pm Funky16Corners: I'm down here in the nice cool basement, but the weather app on my phone says it's 88 degrees out!!!
	2:16pm βrian: Was David Axelrod involved with this?
	2:16pm rw: Brian, yes! It’s heating in the oven now.
	2:16pm Funky16Corners: No, strictly Memphis people.
	2:17pm Jeff Ash: I think we're all going to need a cigarette after this Isaac Hayes.
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	2:18pm βrian: So, do folks vape, these days, after the act?
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Yeah, this is old school make out music of the first order.
	2:19pm Funky16Corners: @ Brian - What's the old joke? "I don't know, I never looked."
	2:23pm northguineahills: That's warmer then FL, Larry. It's 84F/28C here.
	2:24pm Funky16Corners: It's this crazy NJ weather. You go from needing a heavy coat to needing shorts, and then back again in the space of a few days.
	2:25pm βrian: @NGH: How's life at the crematorium??
	2:30pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Finally feels like Spring in Detroit... think it was 80 yesterday
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: I hope it sticks. I want to shed my sweatshirt for a few months.
	2:32pm βrian: A little spring would be nice, though.
	2:46pm david w: Thanks, Larry!. I'm going to jump over the fence back into Queens now. See you later!
	2:46pm Funky16Corners: Take care David!
	2:47pm Sem: Sly-alicious, just like the rest of the afternoon. Thanks so much, Larry!
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Sem!
	2:49pm Jeff Ash: Speaking of Sly Stone and medleys, Merry Clayton does a good medley of SFS tunes on her "Emotion" LP from 1980.
	2:50pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to look for that!
	2:56pm rw: Thanks Larry! You're the beginning and the end of the stream today. Hope to catch the second edition later this evening!
	2:56pm Mark R.: Agree completely--Sly & the Family Stone broke down so many barriers--racial, gender (a FEMALE trumpet player!!), Larry Graham invented that style of bass, Sly was a genius any way you cut it. Love Love LOVE them. The big box of their Fillmore sets that came out a couple years ago was a real treat, too!
	2:56pm Jeff Ash: Catch you tonight! Thanks!
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Mark! RW! Jeff! See you all later on!

	12:25pm Funky16Corners: Very treble-y, and the vocal mix is a little weird
	12:26pm Funky16Corners: One of the problems with various vinyl sources, esp between 45s and LPs. Wide range of levels and quality.

	12:26pm Parq: F16C, that's probably the way it was mixed at the venue, no?

	1:03pm Parq: F16C, I think the expression refers to organs of earlier origin, like big church organs or Wurlitzers in the old movie palaces.
	1:04pm Parq: Stop-splaining.
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: Ah, OK.
	1:05pm βrian: Yep, the miracle of the Hammond was that it had no pipes. Heh. So we gotta get creative.
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: I actually have a book on the Hammond in my to-be-read pile. I should dig into it. I never knew the stops were pipe-related.
	1:10pm Funky16Corners: Gonna do an all-Hammond show one of these Wednesdays.
	1:12pm βrian: I guess there are stop analogs that have a similar effect on Hammonds.
	1:17pm Funky16Corners: It's probably all buttons now on most electronic keyboards. I remember reading an interview years ago with Jimmy Smith where he said that unless you were playing a B3 and the pedals, you weren't really playing the organ.
	1:17pm JakeGould: @MaryWing: Hey! Happy running into you at the record fair. Find anything good? I scored a vinyl version of Devo’s “Freedom of Choice.” Definitely different and better than the CD or MP3 version. Someone was nice enough to put it up on YouTube. www.youtube.com...
	1:18pm JakeGould: Also… Hello Larry!
	1:20pm βrian: I'm from the midwest. It took me a while to hear the difference between "Larry" and "Mary." It finally stuck.
	1:21pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jake!
	1:23pm βrian: Is "cornbread" a euphemism, here? Just curious.
	1:24pm Parq: As the great Daniel Pinkwater once said, sometimes a corn muffin is just a corn muffin.
	1:24pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I'm pretty sue it's straight up soul food in these cases.
	1:25pm Funky16Corners: 'sure'
	1:25pm βrian: Cuz I really like cornbread, but I don't want to get in trouble.
	1:26pm Funky16Corners: I guess it depends on who you ask for 'cornbread' and under what circumstances
	1:27pm Funky16Corners: Like if you're wiggling your eyebrows and smirking, you might get smacked
	1:27pm rw: Skimming the comments, yes, I've always understood pulling all the stops as opening up all the pipes on an organ for maximum sound. And βrian, that cornbread reference had me rethinking a little too.
	1:28pm JakeGould: I knew a white Jewish girl who grew up in Washington Heights who was nicknamed “Cornbread” by her classmates.
	1:29pm Funky16Corners: Why's that?
	1:29pm rw: I had a piece of cornbread go bad sitting covered on the counter the other day. Smelled sour. I think it was fermenting.
	1:30pm CTEmpress: Little Richard: never fails!
	1:30pm βrian: I'd take cornbread over white bread, any day.
	1:31pm Parq: If I may be allowed to muddy the waters further, there used to be a Jewish bakery near where I was living in the mid 80s, where a certain sort of rye bread was called cornbread. I asked why once, and the answer was some obscure story involving a guy named Cohen.
	1:31pm JakeGould: @Funky16Corners: I guess it was a racially loaded nickname she learned to accept. shrugs
	1:32pm JakeGould: @Parq: Cohenbrie?
	1:32pm Funky16Corners: Corn rye is actually delicious
	1:32pm βrian: Possibly, it dates back to corn being a general term for grain. Barleycorn, for example.
	1:32pm Funky16Corners: @Connie - Soulful Little Richard is the best!
	1:33pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All. Great job of carrying the Wing torch, Larry. Fermented cornbread COULD be interesting!?
	1:33pm JakeGould: That’s corny!
	1:33pm JakeGould: @Kevin: Hey there!
	1:33pm fleep: Cornsplaining
	1:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	1:35pm βrian: @flee: soft-pore corn or hard-core?
	1:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Nice seeing all the usual (local) suspects this weekend.
	1:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Listen for the "ding" when there's a score. Are you for Liverpool or Roma, Mary? www.uefa.com...
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Hello Ken!
	1:38pm CTEmpress: This Vibrations has been on my wants list for yonks!
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, it's a nice, funky version!
	1:39pm βrian: In 1969, expressways often connoted "Urban Renewal." Oy.
	1:39pm CTEmpress: OOH CHEAP!
	1:40pm Jeff Ash: Guess I must know the Soul Survivors' version of this.
	1:40pm JakeGould: “Soft-Pore Corn” sounds like a crazy artisanal food nonsense thing.
	1:41pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - yes, that was the biggest hit. I have another version by Group Therapy
	1:41pm βrian: Or maybe a password for a back-alley speakeasy.
	1:41pm Jeff Ash: And now, Wisconsin represents! Harvey Scales played this when I last saw him live, 5 years ago.
	1:42pm Funky16Corners: Wow! This is a great, heavy two sider
	1:43pm βrian: You're Wisconsin? I'm Wisconsin!
	1:43pm Jeff Ash: Green Bay, Brian.
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Two Wisconsin; one Wisconsout.
	1:44pm βrian: Isthmus, here.
	1:45pm Funky16Corners: Isthmus be Wisconsin day here on Testify!
	1:45pm βrian: Our motto: "Out, out, damn Scott!"
	1:46pm βrian: Er, "damned," I guess.
	1:46pm Jeff Ash: Damn straight. Lived on that isthmus from '82 to '90.
	1:50pm JakeGould: Hey Madison! I used to live on South Hancock Street back in the 1990s. Lovely apartment in an old house. Occasionally bats would show up from the basement. I often mistook them for a few seconds as pigeons until I realized they were bats.
	1:51pm Jeff Ash: Mr. Clyde Stubblefield of Madison, Wisconsin, that is!
	1:51pm βrian: @JakeG: Big as robins, right?
	1:51pm CTEmpress: Right on right on!
	1:52pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I forgot about that! Cheese and beer all day long here!
	1:52pm JakeGould: @Brian: Fat bats.
	1:53pm Jeff Ash: But I must confess that I didn't know Marvelle and the Blue Mats as another Milwaukee group.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed!
	1:55pm JakeGould: @βrian: Also, do you remember “The Comic Strip” bar next to “O’Cayz Corral?” What an amazing lesser-than-divey drunk bar.
	1:57pm JakeGould: @Brian: I also used to live on West Main Street near the Mifflin Street Coop. It cracked me up coming from NYC since people considered those specific blocks as the “bad side of town.”
	1:57pm northguineahills: I temporally confused. I thought it was Wednesday afternoon but here's Larry! (Still don't have Internet at my new office digs, so commenting via the app.
	1:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! I'll be back tonight in my regular slot.
	1:59pm βrian: @JG: Before my time, but I did find this: host.madison.com...
	2:01pm βrian: Mifflin Street Coop was the first coop I'd known of that sold beer. This I like, I thought to myself.
	2:03pm βrian: (By comparison, my A² coop sold no white sugar, and canned tuna was kept hidden beneath the stairwell.)
	2:04pm doctorjazz: Know the Funky Meters version of the Strut, like this.
	2:05pm Funky16Corners: Yes, Meters cover from just after the original
	2:07pm david w: Hello, Larry and all! Great tunes and always amused by Madison stories... I've seen some things there...
	2:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	2:09pm rw: Okay, I'm making cornbread for lunch. Should have a couple slices left over if anybody's interested. Just don't wait too long or it'll get Funky sitting on the counter.
	2:10pm βrian: @rw: Cast-iron skillet recipe?
	2:11pm northguineahills: That guitar lick!
	2:12pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah!
	2:13pm Sem: Diggin' the hot buttered Hayes.
	2:13pm Funky16Corners: Can't beat it. As big an epic as has ever been layed down by anyone, in any genre
	2:14pm CTEmpress: Really, ISAAC!!!!
	2:14pm βrian: Apropos of nothing, we had snow remnants on the ground 5 days ago. This morning, the AC was running on City buses.
	2:15pm Funky16Corners: I'm down here in the nice cool basement, but the weather app on my phone says it's 88 degrees out!!!
	2:16pm βrian: Was David Axelrod involved with this?
	2:16pm rw: Brian, yes! It’s heating in the oven now.
	2:16pm Funky16Corners: No, strictly Memphis people.
	2:17pm Jeff Ash: I think we're all going to need a cigarette after this Isaac Hayes.
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	2:18pm βrian: So, do folks vape, these days, after the act?
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Yeah, this is old school make out music of the first order.
	2:19pm Funky16Corners: @ Brian - What's the old joke? "I don't know, I never looked."
	2:23pm northguineahills: That's warmer then FL, Larry. It's 84F/28C here.
	2:24pm Funky16Corners: It's this crazy NJ weather. You go from needing a heavy coat to needing shorts, and then back again in the space of a few days.
	2:25pm βrian: @NGH: How's life at the crematorium??
	2:30pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Finally feels like Spring in Detroit... think it was 80 yesterday
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: I hope it sticks. I want to shed my sweatshirt for a few months.
	2:32pm βrian: A little spring would be nice, though.
	2:46pm david w: Thanks, Larry!. I'm going to jump over the fence back into Queens now. See you later!
	2:46pm Funky16Corners: Take care David!
	2:47pm Sem: Sly-alicious, just like the rest of the afternoon. Thanks so much, Larry!
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Sem!
	2:49pm Jeff Ash: Speaking of Sly Stone and medleys, Merry Clayton does a good medley of SFS tunes on her "Emotion" LP from 1980.
	2:50pm Funky16Corners: I'll have to look for that!
	2:56pm rw: Thanks Larry! You're the beginning and the end of the stream today. Hope to catch the second edition later this evening!
	2:56pm Mark R.: Agree completely--Sly & the Family Stone broke down so many barriers--racial, gender (a FEMALE trumpet player!!), Larry Graham invented that style of bass, Sly was a genius any way you cut it. Love Love LOVE them. The big box of their Fillmore sets that came out a couple years ago was a real treat, too!
	2:56pm Jeff Ash: Catch you tonight! Thanks!
	2:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Mark! RW! Jeff! See you all later on!
