	10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	🥁 10:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Uke it UP!!!
	10:04pm chresti: Halloo!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny! Chresti!
	10:12pm rw: Hey! I've always had a weakness for vestibules.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:17pm Gary via app: Slim!
	10:19pm northguineahills: Nice to wake from my nap to this!
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Gary! NGH!
	10:24pm Jeff Ash: This second set would have been right in my dad's wheelhouse. Thanks, man.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: We'll dedicate it to his memory!
	10:32pm Jeff Ash: Appreciate the thought. This is the stuff he'd blast on his boom box, turned up to 11 because of his hearing loss.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: There's some Ink Spots coming later, big with our parents generation.
	10:34pm Jeff Ash: The Mills Brothers were one of my dad's faves.
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: I was shocked when I discovered this early stuff. They were so huge and middle of the road by the 60s. My grandparents liked the Mills Brothers. I don't know if they knew this stuff
	10:39pm chresti: My Dad loves Louis Armstrong and the Mills Brothers
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: I got into almost all of this stuff via my father. I don't know if he's listening tonight but he'll pick it up on the podcast if he isn't.
	10:49pm Gary via app: This is the most beautiful poem in the English Language
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Slim was a wellspring of poetry!
	10:50pm rw: Yeah, I also know most of this stuff through my dad (mom too but mostly dad both born in 1932). I sometimes feel sorry for people a little younger than me who don't have any connection with music from this era.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, unless you have someone in your life to bring it along, you'd have to dig pretty deep to find it on your own
	10:55pm northguineahills: That song made me hungry. Had a coworker gave me a container of a sortof whitefish salad (w/ jalapenos and spices) of fish he caught and smoked himself.
	10:55pm rw: I have a good friend (40 yrs old) who only knows the Mares Eat Oats and Does Eat Oats song through David Lynch which seems crazy to me. But at least he knows it!
	10:55pm Gary via app: I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I found out about Slim via an issue of American Splendor
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: Nothing wrong with that. If you found him, that's all that matters!
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: Now I could go for some matzoh ball soup
	10:57pm northguineahills: My father took me to the Michael Jackson Victory tour when I was 7, and got a Lionel Richie Laserdisc, but otherwise, I only heard xmas and church music at home.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: I was very lucky to have a great mix of jazz and classical at home (very little hip pop).
	10:58pm rw: ngh, As far as I can tell you made up for it and then some!
	10:59pm rw: My kids grew up with some pretty weird shit playing fairly constantly. They seem surprisingly well adjusted.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: I play everything for my kids. They like some of it.
	11:04pm Parq: Great stuff, Larry; My dad was a huge Slim fan, even though he insisted on pronouncing "vaut" phonetically ("vowt").
	11:04pm rw: F16C, Sounds like a good strategy to me. Slim Gaillard, go!
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq! I'm pretty sure Slim let it slip like that a few times!
	11:08pm chresti: I luvva love love this!
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	11:09pm northguineahills: @rw: It took until age 16 that I dove headfirst into the musical pool. I had some help from some excellent friends. I already had natural curiosity, so, once I found it, I was everywhere (wasn't allowed to leave the house until my 17th bday). (parents have mellowed in their outlook culturally, but have double-downed politically. I'll take it). Oh, y gracias amigo!
	11:12pm chresti: Wow NGH! How is it possible to keep a 16/17 year old in the house?
	11:21pm northguineahills: Oh, I snuck out, but usually just to go explore the woods at night (I was very boring) Thanks Larry, off to go see a show, Adios mis amigos
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: Nite NGH!
	11:27pm Dean: Just learned that Gaillard did a nice rooster tune.
	11:28pm Jeff Ash: Thanks again!
	11:28pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure Jeff!
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - which song?
	11:31pm rw: ngh, enjoy the show!
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: Chicken Rhythm?
	11:32pm Dean: Pardon the expression, but "Fuck Off": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiD-M8XpCVk
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: Ooh! I don't have that one!
	11:36pm Dean: Wenzel's Music Town musta had it. Damn, I miss that place.
	11:36pm rw: It's a good one. Not safe for radio but okay for web streaming! (Or slipping into a playlist for a road trip with the kids)
	11:37pm Jeff Ash: We just saw and heard Evan sing "Java Jive" a couple of weeks ago in Ohio. It's a tradition for the Miami University Men's Glee Club, to which he belongs.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: That's cool!
	11:40pm chresti: This is a great cd.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed
	11:55pm rw: I'm kind of a sucker for the sad songs. Thanks Larry! Awesome possum as always!
	11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks rw!
	11:58pm chresti: Thanks for a very enjoyable show!
	11:59pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Chresti!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
