	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Franco!
	10:16pm geezerette: Nice mix! I'll have a double with a twist please!
	10:17pm Funky16Corners: Geezerette!
	10:18pm Webhamster Henry: I love the Bonzos.
	10:18pm Parq: Just a little -- wait -- a little -- right -- ther -- SHIT, OW! Sorry, I'm trying to get my strobe candle lit.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Henry! Me too. I think they're deeper, and not quite as jokey as their rep
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq! Concentrate REALLY hard on the flame.
	10:20pm Erica: Just make sure you keep the flame away from you though Parq.
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: Viv Stanshall could not be contained.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: He was the very spirit of extra dry humor
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: This album was under the Christmas tree in 1969 along with Elephant Mountain by the Youngbloods and Four Sail By Love.
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Santa is a righteous dude.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: that was a merry christmas
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: So is my mom.
	10:26pm doctorjazz: Love Richard Davis' bass playing on Astral Weeks...great stuff!
	10:27pm geezerette: Sounds from an inoccent era...or just more organically hedonist...
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: i' regularly having 5->25 second cut-outs of silence here. anyone else?
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Yes, Connie Kay (who I was lucky enough to see once) on drums
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: heh Van didn't gain any innocence since them!
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: @C - I think there might be a problem with the feed at WFMU. It ws happening through the end of Gary's show and I'm not seeing a disconnect on my end
	10:29pm geezerette: All good here Coel.
	10:29pm doctorjazz: No issues here. Coel-using the home page connection. Connie Kay was great in his understated way-heard him with MJQ back in the day.
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: I'll report it to the proper authorities in the AM. Either way, my recording that goes into the archive will be uninterrupted
	10:30pm northguineahills: Digging...
	10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: okay Thanks friends for input. it happens here much more than it happens at my house. it's probably these people's internet set-up.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I never got to see the MJQ, but I did get to see Kay and Milt Jackson in separate free concerts at our local library when I was in my teens and twenties. Milt was shocked when I (who looked like a long-haired biker) brought up a 10" MJQ record for his autograph
	10:35pm geezerette: Funny story. :)
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: I think I was the youngest person in the room by 15 or 20 years
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: I know these song are probably about Ireland, but this album always reminds be of the streets around Warner Bros. in Burbank.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: I think the best music always reminds you of where you first loved it
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: True that.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Or who you first loved it with...
	10:40pm geezerette: @Franco, one of my favorite places, that little area.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: Me too Geez, I usta work on the Warners lot...A lot!
	10:43pm doctorjazz: Wow, think I have this album filed, but don't remember the Richard and Linda cover, cool!
	10:43pm Parq: This may be connected to Coales's problem, or not, but I keep losing volume. I've turned my player up three times since this show started, and here it is at whisper level again.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: Still getting consistent readings on this end. I will investigate.
	10:44pm Funky16Corners: Anyone else experiencing volume issues?
	10:44pm geezerette: @Larry,where,when and who. Music is magic. @Franco, I worked at Disney..Funny.
	10:45pm Parq: Franco T, that's how it is with a really evocative piece of work. No matter what the originator had in mind, you're just sure it's about your own long-past experiences.
	10:45pm Erica: It's fine on my end.
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: @Geezerette - Indeed it is.
	10:45pm Parq: It's probably my own player, then. Carry on.
	10:46pm geezerette: Totally consistent here.
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Parq, you are a perceptive one indeed.
	10:47pm doctorjazz: Richard and Linda (together and separately) up there with my faves of all time, just loving this. No volume issues using home page player.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: I think aside from a few Fairport tunes, the Richard/Linda stuff is my favorite of the Thompson catalog.
	10:50pm geezerette: @Larry, I agree. He's depressing to me on his own.
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: Yes, he needs someone to moderate his darkness
	10:52pm doctorjazz: The Richard/Linda stuff is indeed great stuff, but love the solo albums as well (darkness doesn't bother me, kinda like Richard's gloom and doom). Seen him many times in concert, solo and with bands, man, can he play that geetar!
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: He is - along with Stevie Ray Vaughn - the best guitarist I've ever seen in person
	11:04pm doctorjazz: Ah, Miles, his breakout/cusp electric album as well...
	11:04pm Little Danny: This Miles!
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Lots of 'cusp'/transition in tonight's show
	11:06pm Funky16Corners: If you can still find it, the Complete In A Silent Way box set is amazing.
	11:07pm Dean: Got IASW complete. What I'm looking for is the Plugged Nickel stuff.
	11:08pm geezerette: Smiles for Miles.
	11:09pm doctorjazz: I second the In A Silent Way Box. This music just floats...
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: The one I have to go back and dig into is the Complete Miles Davis/Gil Evans set. Lots of outtakes that I haven't given proper attention
	11:12pm geezerette: Cicely Tyson is 93 !
	11:13pm Erica: A nice peaceful vibe from this jazz set.
	11:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Teo Macero is really the uncredited band member on these sessions.
	11:17pm geezerette: As beautiful as his ballads.
	11:17pm Little Danny: Killer show thusfar Larry, very hip late '60s FM radio vibes
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny! It is that very vibe that I am always chasing.
	11:18pm Dean: Jethro Parsons, Miles Thompson, Van Davis, Mike Dylan, Linda Doo Dah...a roster of celebrity!
	11:18pm northguineahills: In a silent way is a fave of mine!
	11:18pm Dean: Oh, oh, oh! Bob Tull!
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: Yes LD. Up late on a school night hypnotized by the green light on the FM tuner.
	11:25pm northguineahills: Yes, I have the box set!
	11:26pm coelacanth: i Love Love
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: Me too, C. This is by any measure my favorite album.
	11:27pm Dean: Artists who covered huge swaths of ground: Beethoven, Bach, Telemann. Even Copland ran a gamut. Schoenberg!
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - remember the light of the dial on the tuner as it came to life. Sometimes the only light in the room.
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - Agreed, I was thinking more of artists in the (more) popular realm, but yeah, the set of beethoven's symphonies is quite a journey from end to end
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: One night I ran into Johnny Echols and the only thing I could think of to say to this great man was that his guitar on Forever Changes would haunt me till the day I die.
	11:30pm doctorjazz: Ornette Coleman covered quite a bit of ground in his corner of the music world, sort of analagous to Miles in a way...
	11:30pm coelacanth: that probably was enough,Franco
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: I think Ornette is too inscrutable for most people, t least casual listeners, where Miles pokes through into the greater zeitgeist a bunch of times. But yeah, I could listen to the first few Atlantic Coleman albums on a loop for a week.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Ornette Coleman was Johnny Echols next door neighbor when he was a kid.
	11:32pm Dean: Indeed, symphonies. I was thinking of piano sonatas and string quartets, too.
	11:34pm Webhamster Henry: Got any psych-folk in this set?
	11:34pm Erica: The Left Banke's first LP was the best, as it was catch baroque pop. The 2nd album, however the band took a different direction both vocally and in terms of the genre and it wasn't as good.
	11:35pm Erica: catchy baroque pop.
	11:35pm Webhamster Henry: I have a phone message from Teo Macero, but it's not very interesting.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - Not really, though the next track is psych/folk adjacent
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I love the first Left Banke. So many great songs
	11:36pm Erica: I agree Larry. I just wish they didn't change directions for the second album.
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: in "contemporary" music, Ray Davies; Brian Eno; maybe Brian Wilson...though i didn't actually hear the mic break so maybe i'm misunderstanding the subject!
	11:37pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a kind of Incredible String Band fan, that's all.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Love played with the Yardbirds and Moby Grape at the Santa Monica Civic...can you imagine!?!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @C - I think what I was trying to get at was Davis spanning so many movements within his style. I can't think of anyone in rock that went through as many changes that were all that good.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - That bill would have blown my mind
	11:40pm Erica: Never heard this Al Stewart song before. I'm used to his 70s soft rock stuff.
	11:41pm Webhamster Henry: Every psych song contains the words "my mind".
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: He came up like Cat Stevens, with a little bit of mod/psychedelia before settling into The Year of the Cat
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Spirit played with Love at the same place.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - As it should
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: ah - i thought you'd referred to stylistic changes/explorations within the artist's career. (that often worked!)
	11:44pm rw: Good evening. I'm late, I know. But 15 min or so of psych is better than no psych at all!
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:44pm Little Danny: I had no idea Spirit sounded like this
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: This our theme song out west.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Danny - that first Spirit album is one of the best American albums of the late 60s
	11:46pm Dean: And of course "Stairway to Heaven."
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: The trippiest song ever written about a beehive.
	11:48pm Erica: Groovy.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: are we listing the most undeservedly popular songs of all time now?
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: I think Dean might have been referring to the fact that the opening of Stairway was stolen from Spirit
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Get this Dean, Spirit opened for Zep at the Anaheim convention center, A building that I swear to god looks like a flying saucer!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: An English Love?
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: oh yes i've read that. despite all the thievery that led zeppelin did (& still does, in royalty terms) the spirit theft is pretty subtle.
	11:54pm chresti: the Engish Sleeping Virgins
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti and I saw Arthur Lee do all of Forever Changes with the whole orchestra treatment at UCLA.
	11:55pm Dean: LZ were vindicated in court! I've been to Anaheim Convention Center for at least a couple shows, one ELO with Steve Hillage opening, another with Savoy Brown, still another with...I'm stretching here...ELO with Little Feat opening.
	11:55pm doctorjazz: It's basically a chord progression, the Beatles used it on Something, goes back to Billie Holiday, not sure that counts as stealing...
	11:55pm geezerette: I love psychedelic rock/jazz, but it makes me laugh to remember how profound it seemed when I first encountered it. Brings an extra layer of sweetness to it. Thanks,Larry. Splendid.
	11:56pm Little Danny: haha you were probably thinking of "curated"
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	11:56pm Dean: Agreed, @doctorjazz. I mean, Haydn, Mozart...
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: I was going to make a pizza run tonight, but you had me glued to the screen Larry!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	11:58pm Dean: G'night.
	11:58pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Dean, vindicated by the same asshole judges who awarded jagger & richards writing credits for bittersweet symphony?!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	11:58pm Dean: "Asshole judges"? Really? Can you get more redundant?
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: haha Dean! Thanks Larry! g'night y'all.
	11:59pm Erica: Well another show is over. See y'all next time.
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite C! Nite Erica!
	12:00am rw: Thanks F16C! Good night everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite rw!

	11:30pm coelacanth: that probably was enough,Franco
	11:31pm Funky16Corners: I think Ornette is too inscrutable for most people, t least casual listeners, where Miles pokes through into the greater zeitgeist a bunch of times. But yeah, I could listen to the first few Atlantic Coleman albums on a loop for a week.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: Ornette Coleman was Johnny Echols next door neighbor when he was a kid.
	11:32pm Dean: Indeed, symphonies. I was thinking of piano sonatas and string quartets, too.
	11:34pm Webhamster Henry: Got any psych-folk in this set?
	11:34pm Erica: The Left Banke's first LP was the best, as it was catch baroque pop. The 2nd album, however the band took a different direction both vocally and in terms of the genre and it wasn't as good.
	11:35pm Erica: catchy baroque pop.
	11:35pm Webhamster Henry: I have a phone message from Teo Macero, but it's not very interesting.
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - Not really, though the next track is psych/folk adjacent
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I love the first Left Banke. So many great songs
	11:36pm Erica: I agree Larry. I just wish they didn't change directions for the second album.
	11:37pm coelacanth∅: in "contemporary" music, Ray Davies; Brian Eno; maybe Brian Wilson...though i didn't actually hear the mic break so maybe i'm misunderstanding the subject!
	11:37pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a kind of Incredible String Band fan, that's all.
	11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Love played with the Yardbirds and Moby Grape at the Santa Monica Civic...can you imagine!?!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @C - I think what I was trying to get at was Davis spanning so many movements within his style. I can't think of anyone in rock that went through as many changes that were all that good.
	11:40pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - That bill would have blown my mind
	11:40pm Erica: Never heard this Al Stewart song before. I'm used to his 70s soft rock stuff.
	11:41pm Webhamster Henry: Every psych song contains the words "my mind".
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: He came up like Cat Stevens, with a little bit of mod/psychedelia before settling into The Year of the Cat
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Spirit played with Love at the same place.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: @Henry - As it should
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: ah - i thought you'd referred to stylistic changes/explorations within the artist's career. (that often worked!)
	11:44pm rw: Good evening. I'm late, I know. But 15 min or so of psych is better than no psych at all!
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	11:44pm Little Danny: I had no idea Spirit sounded like this
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: This our theme song out west.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Danny - that first Spirit album is one of the best American albums of the late 60s
	11:46pm Dean: And of course "Stairway to Heaven."
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: The trippiest song ever written about a beehive.
	11:48pm Erica: Groovy.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: are we listing the most undeservedly popular songs of all time now?
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: I think Dean might have been referring to the fact that the opening of Stairway was stolen from Spirit
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Get this Dean, Spirit opened for Zep at the Anaheim convention center, A building that I swear to god looks like a flying saucer!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: An English Love?
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: oh yes i've read that. despite all the thievery that led zeppelin did (& still does, in royalty terms) the spirit theft is pretty subtle.
	11:54pm chresti: the Engish Sleeping Virgins
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti and I saw Arthur Lee do all of Forever Changes with the whole orchestra treatment at UCLA.
	11:55pm Dean: LZ were vindicated in court! I've been to Anaheim Convention Center for at least a couple shows, one ELO with Steve Hillage opening, another with Savoy Brown, still another with...I'm stretching here...ELO with Little Feat opening.
	11:55pm doctorjazz: It's basically a chord progression, the Beatles used it on Something, goes back to Billie Holiday, not sure that counts as stealing...
	11:55pm geezerette: I love psychedelic rock/jazz, but it makes me laugh to remember how profound it seemed when I first encountered it. Brings an extra layer of sweetness to it. Thanks,Larry. Splendid.
	11:56pm Little Danny: haha you were probably thinking of "curated"
	11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	11:56pm Dean: Agreed, @doctorjazz. I mean, Haydn, Mozart...
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: I was going to make a pizza run tonight, but you had me glued to the screen Larry!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	11:58pm Dean: G'night.
	11:58pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Dean, vindicated by the same asshole judges who awarded jagger & richards writing credits for bittersweet symphony?!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	11:58pm Dean: "Asshole judges"? Really? Can you get more redundant?
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: haha Dean! Thanks Larry! g'night y'all.
	11:59pm Erica: Well another show is over. See y'all next time.
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite C! Nite Erica!
	12:00am rw: Thanks F16C! Good night everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite rw!
