	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Pick it up in the archive or podcast.
	10:06pm still b/p: Mr Soul seems like the kind of track that coulda been covered successfully in a few different periods/styles, traditional and not, since it was born. Anyone ever do a decent redo?
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: And welcome aboard!
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP. Not that I recall, but I would npt be surprised
	10:07pm Erica: Thank you Larry.
	10:07pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Wisconsin, everyone!
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - Jerry Maren, the last munchkin standing, was also the Oscar Mayer mascot back in the day
	10:12pm Erica: Yea it's sad that he died :(
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: 98 is a great, long life.
	10:12pm northguineahills: I'm one of those weird guys that thinks Neil Young can do no wrong. He used to play at s hippie redneck music fest about 30 minutes from here every year. Back in the day I had a roommate who used to always go, I regret not going w/ him.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! I am a Neil believer, Even when he does things I don't like, I still have a ton of respect for the man.
	10:14pm northguineahills: @geezerette, Oh, you mean Oz! (Dunkin' still has munchkins). @Erica: Hola!
	10:15pm northguineahills: (said fest may still happen, I need to research if Neil still plays).
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: If there's anyone left from the Wizard of Oz they would have to have been kids. My Dad is 87 this year and he was 8 when they made it.
	10:15pm Erica: Hi NGH.
	10:19pm chresti: my brother and his friends practiced "down by the river" every Friday night around 1972
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: Can I assume that the jam lasted into 1973?
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: howdy Larry & all
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:21pm northguineahills: My favorite cover of "Down By the River" is done by Low. Seek it out, you won't be disappointed.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: I will. There's also a great version by the Jamaican singer Ken Boothe
	10:24pm Parq: I need to go to the basement and get the laundry, but I just can't leave while this Neil Young set is underway.
	10:25pm northguineahills: @Larry: Ah, heard that one (don't have it on vinyl unfortunately.)
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: One more song and then you can listen to me blab from a distance while you get the wash
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - I'll have to play some tracks from the Ken Boothe album. It has a quite a few interesting covers on it.
	10:26pm chresti: He's jamming with the munchkins now
	10:26pm geezerette: Larry@10:11; sonds like he did very well. Wonder if he was a the motion picture home.(Not enough to search it though.) Wow, the harmonies and spare arrangement of DBTR are so beautiful.
	10:27pm still b/p: Was there a statement upon confirmation of the last munchkin's passing...? As Coroner, my verdict's grim, I thoroughly examined him. And he's not only merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead.
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: i've heard this so many times (hundreds?) and intentionally put it on once and maybe twice in the past year and i still love every second of it.
	10:27pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - That is literally the first thing that went through my mind.
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: @C - There is som much righteous crunch on this album
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: Boo Berry was a working man, he used to ride with Count Chocula in the van
	10:29pm geezerette: NGH, are the DD munchkins donut holes?
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: The are indeed
	10:29pm Erica: Now I'm hungry for DD haha.
	10:30pm northguineahills: Si, geezerette!
	10:31pm geezerette: Larry, pretty sure he was the last one. Congrats to your Dad!
	10:31pm Parq: Larry, I live in a 9th floor apartment, so I'd have to have real good ears to hear you in the basement, but I'll hang in until you give me dispensation.
	10:31pm Erica: And Frankin Berry hitched hiked for a ride with Boo and the Count.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Fruit Brute was loading in the amps
	10:32pm Little Danny: Hey Larry, hey all
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Parq - i'll shout
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	10:32pm Parq: Still b/p, the coroner in 2007, three years before he died: static01.nyt.com...
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: i have 3 favorite NY albums but tonight's the night might be #4
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: (hmm or tied with his first)
	10:37pm Little Danny: You could spend a coupla shows on unreleased Motown/Tamla tracks alone.
	10:37pm geezerette: S B/P, tee-hee-hee-hee- hee...
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: hey Danny
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed. That and Blue Note sessions that sat in the can for years
	10:38pm Little Danny: Hey Coel!
	10:38pm Little Danny: Oh man, Blue Note. Totally
	10:39pm geezerette: Dusty!!! :D
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: and in my opinion there're a dozen or more Prince songs that are unreleased and better than practically everything that was.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite albums, Bobby Hutcherson's Patterns was unreleased for years
	10:40pm geezerette: Coel! Danny!
	10:40pm Little Danny: Hey geez!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: the best Roky Erickson album remains only a bootleg.
	10:41pm Little Danny: @LG: Donald Byrd's unreleased Kofi is up there for me
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: It's prett remarkable what they sat on, but hardly as remarkable as what they released!
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: hey g! ...i can't think of who did this first (even though i have the 45)
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: (do re mi that is....Lee Dorsey?)
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: Which one? Do Re Mi? Lee Dorsey
	10:43pm Little Danny: Yep. QC at Blue Note was unparalleled. Whereas, like, Prestige would release ANY session (I love Prestige btw)
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: Georgie Fame covered it too
	10:44pm Erica: That Dusty version of Do Re Mi was quite good coel.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've heard stories about Prestige getting junkies into the studio with promise of quick money
	10:45pm Little Danny: I believe it!
	10:45pm rw: Yo! Just got home. Was also amazed at that first B.Springfield 45. I thought it was some hidden alt version.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: yeah i dug that version...but then, it's Dusty Springfield!
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: @rw - It was an alt version, but the official 45 release
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: (back on Neil Young for a second -i just remembered that i turned on a bar full of people yesterday to the Isleys' version of ohio/machine gun. 'twas quite well-received)
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Great track. I played it on the Iron Leg Radio Show last week.
	10:52pm chresti: I don't remember hearing Dusty Springfield- I saw her picture in teen magazines. though. Man! She can really belt them out!
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, great, great voice, and managed to rack up a decent amount of hits in the US, but nothing like in the UK
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Larry, someone played it on fmu last week. (thought it might've been you) i'd heard it before but with a fade before machine gun.
	10:54pm Erica: She sure had a soft, yet raspy voice chresti.
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: @C - I played it on one of the two shows I did before I got ot WFMU. You can check it out here: ironleg.wordpress.com
	10:56pm Erica: Yes Larry she's only know for at least two songs here in the States. Everyone knows "Son of a Preacher Man" and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me".
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: i'll be happy to check that out, but neither of my computers want to cooperate with wordpress. -some day.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: You can get it as a podcast in iTunes, as well
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: haha, sorry - next option?
	10:59pm mauri: love power!
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: You can get it using any podcast aggregator
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: Hi Mauri!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: ...if my snow leopard ever dies completely i'll eventually have to get a new computer.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: hmm, certainly can't knock Mr.Withers but, this preceded "ain't no sunshine" by a few years, i think.
	11:03pm Erica: Yet not as big as Bill's song coel.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: It's a Norman Whitfield song, done by the Temptations among others
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: nah, ain't no sunshine is another song i'll never tire of.
	11:08pm Jeff Ash: Boy, I don't think I've ever seen this Dusty LP.
	11:15pm geezerette: Dusty, LuLu, Cilla Black; goose bump good.
	11:15pm Erica: I forgot about "Wishin' and Hopin'"
	11:15pm still b/p: The Look of Love had sort of an MOR rep for a while I think.
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Ah yes! That one too!
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I don't know that I've ever seen a copy on vinyl
	11:17pm Little Danny: Excellent. I've always really dug Beck's voice
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Me too. I saw him a few times early on, right around Loser and then again when Odelay came out
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: I always thought that this album was very trippy
	11:19pm northguineahills: Been going through Beck's back catalog lately.
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: Lots of good stuff in there. A consistently (at least for a while) inventive songwriter and performer
	11:21pm chresti: I rent a studio in a building where "Loser" was made
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: That's cool!
	11:21pm geezerette: There's a rolling, electronic lowrider beat. So cool, temperature wise. Looking backwards and forward at once. Like it a lot.
	11:21pm northguineahills: Wowsers, chresti!
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - That's what was so cool, the backward/forward thing
	11:23pm chresti: The producer was my first landlord here
	11:24pm geezerette: Veloso's voice is so sweet.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, next to Gilberto Gil, his is my fave Tropicalia stuff
	11:29pm chresti: Geez- lowrider is a spot on description
	11:29pm geezerette: @Larry, "Irene" is like one of the Beck songs with a folkloric troupe weaving through and around it. Like a third layer. Guess this is a cerebral set. Pretty great.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	11:31pm geezerette: Oh, hey thanks, Chresti.
	11:34pm still b/p: I sez, "These vocals sound like..." and...it is them.
	11:35pm Jeff Ash: It's a rush to hear this on the late-night radio again.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: Wilson sisters and friends
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: I was going to ave it for an all Tolkien-influenced set but thought better of that...
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: wilson sisters as in heart? -i never heard of "lovemongers" before
	11:40pm Erica: I never heard of the Lovemongers before either coel.
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: (and don't know heart so well)
	11:40pm geezerette: Life without music would be unbearable. So much of what it is to be human is exprssed and contained in music. I've met people who have no need for it. Glad not to be one of them.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. It was a side group they formed in the 90s. They did at least one full album. That track was from the soundtrack to Singles
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: ah i love this...but it's so sad
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Yes, it is. The quieter precursor of Tonight's the Night
	11:43pm chresti: I have to have music playing constantly
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: ...sorta full circle here
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: oh! never mind! (11.42)
	11:45pm chresti: a nice voice
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Yes, one of my favorite singers, and a brilliant guitarist
	11:46pm Jeff Ash: Thanks and good night, Larry!
	11:46pm Funky16Corners: Nite Jeff!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: whenever i think of Bert Jansch i think of Anne Briggs (understandably especially as i learned of Anne first) -but also Roy Harper.
	11:48pm Erica: Night Jeff! Zzz
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: @C - That whole gang of UK folkies that started out trad but moved into new places during the 60s, including those you mentioned, Davy Graham, Fairport Convention etc
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: i have some catching up to do regarding Davy Graham. kind of a peripheral blur that should maybe get some focus.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: He waa a HUGE influence on Jansch, Donovan, Nick Drake, John Renbourn et al
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: His reclusiveness and lack of a foothold over here kind of obscures his importance. I mean, he was covered by Simon and Garfunkel!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: (as Anne Briggs)
	11:59pm Erica: See you next week Larry!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! Excellent as always tchau camaradas
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Larry! Goodnight everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite Chresti!
	12:02am rw: Thanks LG!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite rw!
	12:02am still b/p: Grazie grazie, Grogie.
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks SBP!
	2:20pm Cal Zone!: Great show LG! Really enjoyable...specially the Dusty set!
	2:25pm Funky16corners: Thanks Cal!

	10:43pm Funky16Corners: Georgie Fame covered it too
	10:44pm Erica: That Dusty version of Do Re Mi was quite good coel.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I've heard stories about Prestige getting junkies into the studio with promise of quick money
	10:45pm Little Danny: I believe it!
	10:45pm rw: Yo! Just got home. Was also amazed at that first B.Springfield 45. I thought it was some hidden alt version.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: yeah i dug that version...but then, it's Dusty Springfield!
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: @rw - It was an alt version, but the official 45 release
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: (back on Neil Young for a second -i just remembered that i turned on a bar full of people yesterday to the Isleys' version of ohio/machine gun. 'twas quite well-received)
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Great track. I played it on the Iron Leg Radio Show last week.
	10:52pm chresti: I don't remember hearing Dusty Springfield- I saw her picture in teen magazines. though. Man! She can really belt them out!
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, great, great voice, and managed to rack up a decent amount of hits in the US, but nothing like in the UK
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Larry, someone played it on fmu last week. (thought it might've been you) i'd heard it before but with a fade before machine gun.
	10:54pm Erica: She sure had a soft, yet raspy voice chresti.
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: @C - I played it on one of the two shows I did before I got ot WFMU. You can check it out here: ironleg.wordpress.com
	10:56pm Erica: Yes Larry she's only know for at least two songs here in the States. Everyone knows "Son of a Preacher Man" and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me".
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: i'll be happy to check that out, but neither of my computers want to cooperate with wordpress. -some day.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: You can get it as a podcast in iTunes, as well
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: haha, sorry - next option?
	10:59pm mauri: love power!
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: You can get it using any podcast aggregator
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: Hi Mauri!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: ...if my snow leopard ever dies completely i'll eventually have to get a new computer.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: hmm, certainly can't knock Mr.Withers but, this preceded "ain't no sunshine" by a few years, i think.
	11:03pm Erica: Yet not as big as Bill's song coel.
	11:03pm Funky16Corners: It's a Norman Whitfield song, done by the Temptations among others
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: nah, ain't no sunshine is another song i'll never tire of.
	11:08pm Jeff Ash: Boy, I don't think I've ever seen this Dusty LP.
	11:15pm geezerette: Dusty, LuLu, Cilla Black; goose bump good.
	11:15pm Erica: I forgot about "Wishin' and Hopin'"
	11:15pm still b/p: The Look of Love had sort of an MOR rep for a while I think.
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Ah yes! That one too!
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I don't know that I've ever seen a copy on vinyl
	11:17pm Little Danny: Excellent. I've always really dug Beck's voice
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Me too. I saw him a few times early on, right around Loser and then again when Odelay came out
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: I always thought that this album was very trippy
	11:19pm northguineahills: Been going through Beck's back catalog lately.
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: Lots of good stuff in there. A consistently (at least for a while) inventive songwriter and performer
	11:21pm chresti: I rent a studio in a building where "Loser" was made
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: That's cool!
	11:21pm geezerette: There's a rolling, electronic lowrider beat. So cool, temperature wise. Looking backwards and forward at once. Like it a lot.
	11:21pm northguineahills: Wowsers, chresti!
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - That's what was so cool, the backward/forward thing
	11:23pm chresti: The producer was my first landlord here
	11:24pm geezerette: Veloso's voice is so sweet.
	11:25pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, next to Gilberto Gil, his is my fave Tropicalia stuff
	11:29pm chresti: Geez- lowrider is a spot on description
	11:29pm geezerette: @Larry, "Irene" is like one of the Beck songs with a folkloric troupe weaving through and around it. Like a third layer. Guess this is a cerebral set. Pretty great.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	11:31pm geezerette: Oh, hey thanks, Chresti.
	11:34pm still b/p: I sez, "These vocals sound like..." and...it is them.
	11:35pm Jeff Ash: It's a rush to hear this on the late-night radio again.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: Wilson sisters and friends
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: I was going to ave it for an all Tolkien-influenced set but thought better of that...
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: wilson sisters as in heart? -i never heard of "lovemongers" before
	11:40pm Erica: I never heard of the Lovemongers before either coel.
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: (and don't know heart so well)
	11:40pm geezerette: Life without music would be unbearable. So much of what it is to be human is exprssed and contained in music. I've met people who have no need for it. Glad not to be one of them.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. It was a side group they formed in the 90s. They did at least one full album. That track was from the soundtrack to Singles
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: ah i love this...but it's so sad
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: Yes, it is. The quieter precursor of Tonight's the Night
	11:43pm chresti: I have to have music playing constantly
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: ...sorta full circle here
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: oh! never mind! (11.42)
	11:45pm chresti: a nice voice
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Yes, one of my favorite singers, and a brilliant guitarist
	11:46pm Jeff Ash: Thanks and good night, Larry!
	11:46pm Funky16Corners: Nite Jeff!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: whenever i think of Bert Jansch i think of Anne Briggs (understandably especially as i learned of Anne first) -but also Roy Harper.
	11:48pm Erica: Night Jeff! Zzz
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: @C - That whole gang of UK folkies that started out trad but moved into new places during the 60s, including those you mentioned, Davy Graham, Fairport Convention etc
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: i have some catching up to do regarding Davy Graham. kind of a peripheral blur that should maybe get some focus.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: He waa a HUGE influence on Jansch, Donovan, Nick Drake, John Renbourn et al
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: His reclusiveness and lack of a foothold over here kind of obscures his importance. I mean, he was covered by Simon and Garfunkel!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: (as Anne Briggs)
	11:59pm Erica: See you next week Larry!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! Excellent as always tchau camaradas
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Larry! Goodnight everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite Chresti!
	12:02am rw: Thanks LG!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite rw!
	12:02am still b/p: Grazie grazie, Grogie.
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks SBP!
	2:20pm Cal Zone!: Great show LG! Really enjoyable...specially the Dusty set!
	2:25pm Funky16corners: Thanks Cal!
