Listener comments!
	9:59pm chresti: Funky 16!
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:01pm Jeff Ash: Multi-tasking tonight. As "Testify!" begins, so do the Brewers on the West Coast!
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:09pm Erica: Hey Sorry I'm late for the chat but I tuned in on time.
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica! Feeling better this week?
	10:11pm Erica: Yeah my mouth feels better. thanks
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	10:14pm Erica: Never heard the Carole King demo of this song before.
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: It's cool, isn't it?
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and others caught the tail of that Emitt Rhodes song - "dear prudence" guitar, beautiful vocals! i have to hear that whole thing soon.
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: Carole King has an official release of her demos from the early 60s (& before?) it's pretty special.
	10:19pm TDK60: "Hello but I must be going." -Groucho Marx. Me too, just here for a bit but hello anyway.
	10:20pm Erica: Hello, goodbye to you too TDK60.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! TDK60!
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: @C-re Emitt Rhodes, one of the best of the Beatles-reimagineers
	10:24pm Erica: So Part 1 is the 60s Singers and Songwriters?
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: This is the first recorded cover of a Gram Parsons song
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Both parts cover the 60s and 70s
	10:28pm Erica: Just wondering Larry.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: No problem. That's why I'm here.
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: so, i've heard of Emitt Rhodes but not sure i've heard his music. was/is he a session guy?
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Not really. Started with the Palace Guard, then the Merry go Round, then solo. He did a few sessions, but mainly how own stuff
	10:32pm still b/p: The image of Bobby Goldsboro's haircut haunts even someone else's version of that song for me.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: his own stuff. I'm tired, can't type
	10:32pm TDK60: Yeah at the time (early '70s) Emmit Rhodes seemed like a McCartney-esque melodious songwriter with lots of potential. 2 albums or so then. Then he went into studio production work in the background I think. He was intereviewed by Michael Shelley several years back I think.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP! I prefer Glen Campbell's version to the Goldsboro hit.
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - He did an interview in the last few years that made him seem unhinged/lost
	10:33pm coelacanth∅: hmm. thanks. i will investigate further.
	10:33pm northguineahills: Peter Dinglage does seems like the caring sort...
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: hey NGH!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: I just got that. A little slow on the uptake tonight
	10:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:36pm TDK60: Wikip. says 4 E.R. solo LPs back then. And a 2016 one.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: If I remember correctly, The Palace Guard had a song called Falling Sugar, I think, That was most probably about heroin.
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! That was their big one.
	10:38pm doctorjazz: Brings to mind "She's Leaving Home" , at least part of the tune
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Yes! I was just hearing that!
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Lightfoot, always liked his stuff.
	10:39pm TDK60: Found it: February 13, 2010: Michael Shelley interview with Emitt Rhodes: www.wfmu.org...
	10:40pm northguineahills: (sorry, I can sometimes be obtuse, my days of being acute are gone, so it's 90 degrees or more from now one).....
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Ole Gord is an outstanding songwriter with a voice that sounds like warm.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: I knew it! They wore uniforms. But that didn't hide the possibility that they might be familiar with narcotics.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: I think it's safe to assume that everyone back then was at the very least 'familiar' with narcotics
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: thanks TDK that might actually be where i know him from. i used to listen to Shelley almost religiously back then, and i wouldn't have been on the comment board yet in 2010.
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Kapp records had a nice picture of a hat on their label.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Yes! Marching band hat1
	10:49pm doctorjazz: I've eaten at that restaurant
	10:50pm still b/p: Now, Bobby Goldsboro.....Looking quickly at Wiki bits for the hell of it, I see he wrote all the music for the TV show Evening Shade, he caused some controversy with a suggestive song in '73, and had "huge" Northern Soul hits in UK with A & B sides of a '66 release. Who knew?
	10:51pm TDK60: coel: I was only occasionally on the board back in 2000-10. // That Gordon L. one was really good. // Great to hear some of this older folk and folky-rock.
	10:51pm Erica: Really doctor or was that a joke?
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - His "Northern" record is pretty cool. There's a pretty amazing list of weird outliers like that, Paul Anka, Joey Heatherton etc
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: I found a 45 of Walking My Cat Named Dog at the Amoeba in San Francisco for 50 cents. It was a very happy day for me.
	10:52pm doctorjazz: Just kidding, really liked the tune, never heard of her.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - His early stuff, when he was being covered more than heard himself is really good.
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Norma is one of my faves
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: having never heard of Norma Tanega in my days of buying lots of records, if i'd found a record with a song called "walking my cat named dog" i'd buy it without having to hear it first.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: I love her! She was Dusty Springfields girlfriend. There is a great video of her in a cocktail dress plaing a Gibson SG.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @C - Norma's first album is a genuine, rock solid lost/forgotten classic. She was writing really interesting songs but was only known for her novelty
	10:57pm TDK60: Agree Funky 16. I'm not a big Gordon L. fan but agree the earlier stuff is good.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: I think she teaches ceramics at Scripps collage which is not to far from here.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: I heard she had gone into the visual arts. Very interesting woman.
	10:59pm Franco Twinkie: Marianne Faithful covered Norma.
	10:59pm TDK60: Hate to leave such an intriguing show but, as promised, I must be going...to my horizontal furniture. Thanks DJ LG! See ya folks...
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: ronald mcdonald trump is motivational...he motivates people toward outrage.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: 'night TDK
	11:05pm Erica: Haha! Ronald McDonald Trump.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: I think Doug Cox had something to do with the demise of the best "underground" station ever. KPPC in Pasadena, sister station of KMPX in San Francisco. If that is the case. I hate his motherfucking guts.
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: Nite TDK!
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - I think I recall seeing something like that when I was researching him. He was first and foremost a music industry guy
	11:13pm Jeff Ash: I will neither make it to the end of this show nor the end of the Brewers game in LA. Carry on, sir!
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: Have a good night Jeff!
	11:14pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. I know it's him. KPPC was the WFMU of L.A. From 1968 to 1971. It is the reason, or at least one of them, why I am the way I am.
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: this is bizarre...and intriguing
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: Which, that Jake Thackray?
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: The topic still gets me all rattled all these years later.
	11:17pm doctorjazz: Great song, never heard this version by Dashiell. . Like his singing.
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: yes, Jake. - something in there made me want to have a beer
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I love this version. Was very happy to discover it. A fave of mine via Dorough
	11:18pm coelacanth∅: (...the black swan) now this makes me want to have a glass of whiskey!
	11:18pm rw: Hello all! Did someone say beer? Love this song. Hey Larry!
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: @C- Thackray is a very, very interesting guy. It's remarkable that he was as successful as he was in the UK, and got heard in the US at all. He was kind of an English take on French chanson. A very acquired taste, but one that I have indeed acquired.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: hey rw...you just did!
	11:19pm Erica: Mmmmm. Beeeerrr. drools
	11:20pm still b/p: That Thackray track was like 75% Walter Huston as heard singing September Song, and 25% Noel Coward.
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: Great approximation!
	11:21pm rw: Okay, heading for the refrigerator now... anybody need anything?
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: I could go for a beer, but no drinky on show night
	11:22pm still b/p: I want the chilled dark chocolate, but I won't sleep if I have some.
	11:22pm geezerette: hey, this isn't Peggy Lee! Dealing with a sick computer. Howdy!
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: okay one for me and one for Erica thanks rw i got the next round!
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	11:23pm Erica: It isn't Bruce Lee either geezerette.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Nor is is Lee Lee Sobiesky, Robert E Lee or Lee Vis.
	11:24pm Erica: Thanks coel but I don't drink beer. I was just making a Homer Simpson reference haha.
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: hey g
	11:24pm geezerette: Melted dark chocolate at the bottom of my black coffee.
	11:24pm doctorjazz: Buffy St Marie's singing (particularly her vibrato) always drives me crazy!
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: The album that's from (Illuminations) keeps it to a minimum. I know what you mean.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: haha Erica i should've recognised that reference
	11:26pm doctorjazz: This Newbury is more my speed.
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: dr j Barbara Lewis' does it for me
	11:27pm geezerette: Erica, heh. :) Larry, I'm not even sure Peggy Lee recorded that.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: Mickey reminds me of John Prine
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - It would not surprise me of she had. It was a standard of a kind in its day
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @C - He was probably an influence on Prine. Newbury was was better known as a songwriter than he was as a performer.
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: My man! Fred Neil. This is the greatest song ever. Jefferson Airplane kills it.
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, great, original version of a folk rock standard
	11:31pm geezerette: Ilove that song. And this Fred Neil recording. Gorgeous.
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Used to the Airplane version, think they lean into the flatted notes more.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: there's another version, not ja's, that i like but i can't think of who it is...
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Gram Parsons?
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Fred Neil is another one of those voices that sounds like melted chocolate
	11:33pm Erica: Cashman, Pistilli & West? Is that the same Cashman & West who released American City Suite?
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: The Airplane's version has a fury that underscores the sentiment.
	11:35pm Erica: Figured. I have American City Suite on a 70's CD compilation by Rhino Records
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: Their stuff is cool.
	11:36pm rw: Man. All these songs. And I wish there were a way to pass a few drinks and some chocolate through this phone app.
	11:36pm doctorjazz: Ruthann Friedman? Lovely! Not even vaguely familiar.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: maybe it is the airplane's. it's definitely the one i know best, but i'm imagining a more folky version...and not Gram Parsins and not peter paul & mary...
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: - doesn't matter.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: Ruthann wrote 'Windy' for the Association, and nly recorded one album and a few 45s on her own.
	11:37pm geezerette: Larry, he does! This music is such sweet adolescent meløncholy, from the days before outboard brains.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Ruthann not to long ago at local bookstore. She told a funny story about running around with Neil Young on the Sunset Strip in 1966.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: She pops up in some unusual places early on
	11:38pm Erica: Cashman, Pistilli & West's music is hard to find though Larry.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: seriously rw. i have murphy's stout and 2 different chocolate bars. (dark, and darker)
	11:39pm geezerette: mmmm...yummy!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Check this out: ironleg.wordpress.com...
	11:39pm doctorjazz: A nice stout sounds good, slide some down here.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - You're right. Their stuff ought to be better known
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: If you dig stout, look for Dragon's Milk. 12% ABV and delicious
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: ...and whiskey pickles and quadruple almond cookies! i'm ready for a damn party!
	11:41pm still b/p: Irish whiskey and dark chocolate. A positive pairing.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: i'm trying, dr. i'm just making a mess though! i guess that slot in the side of the laptop is not for cans of beer?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: It does make a lovely cup holder
	11:43pm Erica: Any chance of hearing songs from the 1st Seals & Crofts LP from 1969 if not this week, next week?
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: sbp truethat. Larry is dragon's milk made by keegan ales?
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think I can accomodate!
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: @C - I forget the brewer.
	11:44pm Erica: While we're on the subject of artist's pre-yacht rock period.
	11:45pm geezerette: still b/p, that's a good one alright. You're all making me hungry. And thirsty.
	11:47pm geezerette: Music from a mythological moment.
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i've been munching on spicy pickles and raw pecans. that's dinner tonight i guess. i'm too tired to make a salad or cook.
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Mmmmm spicy pickles!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: larry have you tried "mother's milk"? that's the one by keegan ales. Yum!
	11:48pm geezerette: Coel, sounds like a great combination.
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: @C - I have not, but I'm always in the market for a delicious stout
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Larry! Will read when I'm not typing/listening. Larry Marks is amazing and dearly missed. L.A. Breakdown is a personal fave. In addition to producing The Burritos, he wrote the theme song for Scooby Doo!
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: The Founders Breakfast Stout is a thing of wonder
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Larry Marks also worked on Phil Ochs' 'Tape From California' which is a fave
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: it is,g...i feel like i need some grain or something though. Larry i've tried dragon's milk and they're very similar. that's why i asked.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: I'll look for it then!
	11:52pm doctorjazz: Enjoyed the show (but REALLY want a beer now) , time to crash now thanks, Larry. More nuts, chocolate, beer and pickles next time...
	11:52pm Dean: New Holland. Haven't been drinking stouts lately, except when I make stew. I tend toward the triple IPAs.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doc!
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: The Pleasures Of The Harbor....sigh.
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, right?
	11:53pm Erica: Night doc! Enjoy your beer.
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: tape from cali is excellent, and - "founders breakfast"? i'll look around.
	11:53pm geezerette: Doc, slumber party & snacks next time.
	11:55pm geezerette: Thanks, Larry! What a playlist!
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Sounds great Geez. Have to check out these stouts! (found a beer in a great bottle called Bitches Brew, with a picture of the Miles album cover. Beer was awful, though...
	11:56pm Erica: Can't wait for Part 2. Great show.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Good night Larry and all yoose!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: drj i've heard that was a let down. there are so many brews now with clever names and most of them i'm doubtful of; and some of them the names are so bad -trying to be cool or badass -i don't even want to try them!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: gnight Franco!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite guys! Thanks Erica! Franco!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: even the 4 seasons tried to get on the psychedelic and maybe more sophisticated bandwagon.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks Geezerette!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry Great program! take care everyone
	12:03am Funky16Corners: @C - The Four Seasons 'psychedelic' album is really good.
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: (yeah it ain't bad!)
	12:04am rw: ThanksF16C! Good night everyone!!
	12:05am Funky16Corners: Thanks rw!
	12:05am coelacanth∅: thanks for the beer rw!

	9:59pm chresti: Funky 16!
	10:00pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:01pm Jeff Ash: Multi-tasking tonight. As "Testify!" begins, so do the Brewers on the West Coast!
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	10:09pm Erica: Hey Sorry I'm late for the chat but I tuned in on time.
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica! Feeling better this week?
	10:11pm Erica: Yeah my mouth feels better. thanks
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!
	10:14pm Erica: Never heard the Carole King demo of this song before.
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: It's cool, isn't it?
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and others caught the tail of that Emitt Rhodes song - "dear prudence" guitar, beautiful vocals! i have to hear that whole thing soon.
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: Carole King has an official release of her demos from the early 60s (& before?) it's pretty special.
	10:19pm TDK60: "Hello but I must be going." -Groucho Marx. Me too, just here for a bit but hello anyway.
	10:20pm Erica: Hello, goodbye to you too TDK60.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! TDK60!
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: @C-re Emitt Rhodes, one of the best of the Beatles-reimagineers
	10:24pm Erica: So Part 1 is the 60s Singers and Songwriters?
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: This is the first recorded cover of a Gram Parsons song
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Both parts cover the 60s and 70s
	10:28pm Erica: Just wondering Larry.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: No problem. That's why I'm here.
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: so, i've heard of Emitt Rhodes but not sure i've heard his music. was/is he a session guy?
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Not really. Started with the Palace Guard, then the Merry go Round, then solo. He did a few sessions, but mainly how own stuff
	10:32pm still b/p: The image of Bobby Goldsboro's haircut haunts even someone else's version of that song for me.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: his own stuff. I'm tired, can't type
	10:32pm TDK60: Yeah at the time (early '70s) Emmit Rhodes seemed like a McCartney-esque melodious songwriter with lots of potential. 2 albums or so then. Then he went into studio production work in the background I think. He was intereviewed by Michael Shelley several years back I think.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP! I prefer Glen Campbell's version to the Goldsboro hit.
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - He did an interview in the last few years that made him seem unhinged/lost
	10:33pm coelacanth∅: hmm. thanks. i will investigate further.
	10:33pm northguineahills: Peter Dinglage does seems like the caring sort...
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: hey NGH!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: I just got that. A little slow on the uptake tonight
	10:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:36pm TDK60: Wikip. says 4 E.R. solo LPs back then. And a 2016 one.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: If I remember correctly, The Palace Guard had a song called Falling Sugar, I think, That was most probably about heroin.
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! That was their big one.
	10:38pm doctorjazz: Brings to mind "She's Leaving Home" , at least part of the tune
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Yes! I was just hearing that!
	10:39pm doctorjazz: Lightfoot, always liked his stuff.
	10:39pm TDK60: Found it: February 13, 2010: Michael Shelley interview with Emitt Rhodes: www.wfmu.org...
	10:40pm northguineahills: (sorry, I can sometimes be obtuse, my days of being acute are gone, so it's 90 degrees or more from now one).....
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Ole Gord is an outstanding songwriter with a voice that sounds like warm.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: I knew it! They wore uniforms. But that didn't hide the possibility that they might be familiar with narcotics.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: I think it's safe to assume that everyone back then was at the very least 'familiar' with narcotics
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: thanks TDK that might actually be where i know him from. i used to listen to Shelley almost religiously back then, and i wouldn't have been on the comment board yet in 2010.
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Kapp records had a nice picture of a hat on their label.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Yes! Marching band hat1
	10:49pm doctorjazz: I've eaten at that restaurant
	10:50pm still b/p: Now, Bobby Goldsboro.....Looking quickly at Wiki bits for the hell of it, I see he wrote all the music for the TV show Evening Shade, he caused some controversy with a suggestive song in '73, and had "huge" Northern Soul hits in UK with A & B sides of a '66 release. Who knew?
	10:51pm TDK60: coel: I was only occasionally on the board back in 2000-10. // That Gordon L. one was really good. // Great to hear some of this older folk and folky-rock.
	10:51pm Erica: Really doctor or was that a joke?
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @SBP - His "Northern" record is pretty cool. There's a pretty amazing list of weird outliers like that, Paul Anka, Joey Heatherton etc
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: I found a 45 of Walking My Cat Named Dog at the Amoeba in San Francisco for 50 cents. It was a very happy day for me.
	10:52pm doctorjazz: Just kidding, really liked the tune, never heard of her.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - His early stuff, when he was being covered more than heard himself is really good.
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Norma is one of my faves
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: having never heard of Norma Tanega in my days of buying lots of records, if i'd found a record with a song called "walking my cat named dog" i'd buy it without having to hear it first.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: I love her! She was Dusty Springfields girlfriend. There is a great video of her in a cocktail dress plaing a Gibson SG.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @C - Norma's first album is a genuine, rock solid lost/forgotten classic. She was writing really interesting songs but was only known for her novelty
	10:57pm TDK60: Agree Funky 16. I'm not a big Gordon L. fan but agree the earlier stuff is good.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: I think she teaches ceramics at Scripps collage which is not to far from here.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: I heard she had gone into the visual arts. Very interesting woman.
	10:59pm Franco Twinkie: Marianne Faithful covered Norma.
	10:59pm TDK60: Hate to leave such an intriguing show but, as promised, I must be going...to my horizontal furniture. Thanks DJ LG! See ya folks...
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: ronald mcdonald trump is motivational...he motivates people toward outrage.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: 'night TDK
	11:05pm Erica: Haha! Ronald McDonald Trump.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: I think Doug Cox had something to do with the demise of the best "underground" station ever. KPPC in Pasadena, sister station of KMPX in San Francisco. If that is the case. I hate his motherfucking guts.
	11:09pm Funky16Corners: Nite TDK!
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - I think I recall seeing something like that when I was researching him. He was first and foremost a music industry guy
	11:13pm Jeff Ash: I will neither make it to the end of this show nor the end of the Brewers game in LA. Carry on, sir!
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: Have a good night Jeff!
	11:14pm Franco Twinkie: Yes. I know it's him. KPPC was the WFMU of L.A. From 1968 to 1971. It is the reason, or at least one of them, why I am the way I am.
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: this is bizarre...and intriguing
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: Which, that Jake Thackray?
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: The topic still gets me all rattled all these years later.
	11:17pm doctorjazz: Great song, never heard this version by Dashiell. . Like his singing.
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: yes, Jake. - something in there made me want to have a beer
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I love this version. Was very happy to discover it. A fave of mine via Dorough
	11:18pm coelacanth∅: (...the black swan) now this makes me want to have a glass of whiskey!
	11:18pm rw: Hello all! Did someone say beer? Love this song. Hey Larry!
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: @C- Thackray is a very, very interesting guy. It's remarkable that he was as successful as he was in the UK, and got heard in the US at all. He was kind of an English take on French chanson. A very acquired taste, but one that I have indeed acquired.
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: hey rw...you just did!
	11:19pm Erica: Mmmmm. Beeeerrr. drools
	11:20pm still b/p: That Thackray track was like 75% Walter Huston as heard singing September Song, and 25% Noel Coward.
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: Great approximation!
	11:21pm rw: Okay, heading for the refrigerator now... anybody need anything?
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: I could go for a beer, but no drinky on show night
	11:22pm still b/p: I want the chilled dark chocolate, but I won't sleep if I have some.
	11:22pm geezerette: hey, this isn't Peggy Lee! Dealing with a sick computer. Howdy!
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: okay one for me and one for Erica thanks rw i got the next round!
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	11:23pm Erica: It isn't Bruce Lee either geezerette.
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Nor is is Lee Lee Sobiesky, Robert E Lee or Lee Vis.
	11:24pm Erica: Thanks coel but I don't drink beer. I was just making a Homer Simpson reference haha.
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: hey g
	11:24pm geezerette: Melted dark chocolate at the bottom of my black coffee.
	11:24pm doctorjazz: Buffy St Marie's singing (particularly her vibrato) always drives me crazy!
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: The album that's from (Illuminations) keeps it to a minimum. I know what you mean.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: haha Erica i should've recognised that reference
	11:26pm doctorjazz: This Newbury is more my speed.
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: dr j Barbara Lewis' does it for me
	11:27pm geezerette: Erica, heh. :) Larry, I'm not even sure Peggy Lee recorded that.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: Mickey reminds me of John Prine
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - It would not surprise me of she had. It was a standard of a kind in its day
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @C - He was probably an influence on Prine. Newbury was was better known as a songwriter than he was as a performer.
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: My man! Fred Neil. This is the greatest song ever. Jefferson Airplane kills it.
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, great, original version of a folk rock standard
	11:31pm geezerette: Ilove that song. And this Fred Neil recording. Gorgeous.
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Used to the Airplane version, think they lean into the flatted notes more.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: there's another version, not ja's, that i like but i can't think of who it is...
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Gram Parsons?
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Fred Neil is another one of those voices that sounds like melted chocolate
	11:33pm Erica: Cashman, Pistilli & West? Is that the same Cashman & West who released American City Suite?
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Yes
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: The Airplane's version has a fury that underscores the sentiment.
	11:35pm Erica: Figured. I have American City Suite on a 70's CD compilation by Rhino Records
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: Their stuff is cool.
	11:36pm rw: Man. All these songs. And I wish there were a way to pass a few drinks and some chocolate through this phone app.
	11:36pm doctorjazz: Ruthann Friedman? Lovely! Not even vaguely familiar.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: maybe it is the airplane's. it's definitely the one i know best, but i'm imagining a more folky version...and not Gram Parsins and not peter paul & mary...
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: - doesn't matter.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: Ruthann wrote 'Windy' for the Association, and nly recorded one album and a few 45s on her own.
	11:37pm geezerette: Larry, he does! This music is such sweet adolescent meløncholy, from the days before outboard brains.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Ruthann not to long ago at local bookstore. She told a funny story about running around with Neil Young on the Sunset Strip in 1966.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: She pops up in some unusual places early on
	11:38pm Erica: Cashman, Pistilli & West's music is hard to find though Larry.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: seriously rw. i have murphy's stout and 2 different chocolate bars. (dark, and darker)
	11:39pm geezerette: mmmm...yummy!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Check this out: ironleg.wordpress.com...
	11:39pm doctorjazz: A nice stout sounds good, slide some down here.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - You're right. Their stuff ought to be better known
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: If you dig stout, look for Dragon's Milk. 12% ABV and delicious
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: ...and whiskey pickles and quadruple almond cookies! i'm ready for a damn party!
	11:41pm still b/p: Irish whiskey and dark chocolate. A positive pairing.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: i'm trying, dr. i'm just making a mess though! i guess that slot in the side of the laptop is not for cans of beer?
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: It does make a lovely cup holder
	11:43pm Erica: Any chance of hearing songs from the 1st Seals & Crofts LP from 1969 if not this week, next week?
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: sbp truethat. Larry is dragon's milk made by keegan ales?
	11:43pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think I can accomodate!
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: @C - I forget the brewer.
	11:44pm Erica: While we're on the subject of artist's pre-yacht rock period.
	11:45pm geezerette: still b/p, that's a good one alright. You're all making me hungry. And thirsty.
	11:47pm geezerette: Music from a mythological moment.
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i've been munching on spicy pickles and raw pecans. that's dinner tonight i guess. i'm too tired to make a salad or cook.
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Mmmmm spicy pickles!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: larry have you tried "mother's milk"? that's the one by keegan ales. Yum!
	11:48pm geezerette: Coel, sounds like a great combination.
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: @C - I have not, but I'm always in the market for a delicious stout
	11:49pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Larry! Will read when I'm not typing/listening. Larry Marks is amazing and dearly missed. L.A. Breakdown is a personal fave. In addition to producing The Burritos, he wrote the theme song for Scooby Doo!
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: The Founders Breakfast Stout is a thing of wonder
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - Larry Marks also worked on Phil Ochs' 'Tape From California' which is a fave
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: it is,g...i feel like i need some grain or something though. Larry i've tried dragon's milk and they're very similar. that's why i asked.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: I'll look for it then!
	11:52pm doctorjazz: Enjoyed the show (but REALLY want a beer now) , time to crash now thanks, Larry. More nuts, chocolate, beer and pickles next time...
	11:52pm Dean: New Holland. Haven't been drinking stouts lately, except when I make stew. I tend toward the triple IPAs.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doc!
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: The Pleasures Of The Harbor....sigh.
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, right?
	11:53pm Erica: Night doc! Enjoy your beer.
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: tape from cali is excellent, and - "founders breakfast"? i'll look around.
	11:53pm geezerette: Doc, slumber party & snacks next time.
	11:55pm geezerette: Thanks, Larry! What a playlist!
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Sounds great Geez. Have to check out these stouts! (found a beer in a great bottle called Bitches Brew, with a picture of the Miles album cover. Beer was awful, though...
	11:56pm Erica: Can't wait for Part 2. Great show.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Good night Larry and all yoose!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: drj i've heard that was a let down. there are so many brews now with clever names and most of them i'm doubtful of; and some of them the names are so bad -trying to be cool or badass -i don't even want to try them!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: gnight Franco!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Nite guys! Thanks Erica! Franco!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: even the 4 seasons tried to get on the psychedelic and maybe more sophisticated bandwagon.
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks Geezerette!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry Great program! take care everyone
	12:03am Funky16Corners: @C - The Four Seasons 'psychedelic' album is really good.
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: (yeah it ain't bad!)
	12:04am rw: ThanksF16C! Good night everyone!!
	12:05am Funky16Corners: Thanks rw!
	12:05am coelacanth∅: thanks for the beer rw!
