	10:17pm chresti: All pie! All the time!
	10:17pm Erica: Pizza pie. Mmmm. Had that for dinner today because tomorrow and Friday night my family and I are having turkey for dinner.
	10:20pm Jeff Ash: The mighty Sharon Jones! One of my favorite cuts!
	10:20pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't be averse to some form of pizza being laid out on the Thanksgiving table
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: @Jef - Great version, too!
	10:24pm doctorjazz: Had pizza myself tonight, and pasta fagioli. Also like it better than turkey.
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: We had a giant chicken pot pie from Costco.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: Comically large, like a delicious manhole cover
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: Left over Chinese for me and Chresti Cheese Doodle!
	10:27pm doctorjazz: Haven't Had that in a while,but used to really like the chicken pot pie from Costco (dropped pour membership at one point).
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: I just saw a Loading Zone record for $50, but it wasn't on RCA. Never seen it before.
	10:37pm chresti: I got you
	10:38pm chresti: Haha Larry!
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - There's an album on Umbrella from 1970 after Linda Tillery left the band
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: That's the one!
	10:41pm chresti: This has an Otis Redding feel to it
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: The Solomon Burke?
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: Timi Yuro kinda reminds me of Judy Henske if she was backed up by The Gold Diggers.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: She had a powerful voice!
	10:54pm Erica: Not a bad rendition of Evil Ways
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: This has some popularity with soul DJs
	10:57pm Jeff Ash: Ha. When we were 18 or 19 and um, overserved, we'd sing this with the jukebox every night.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: There are so many versions, by all kinds of singers. I was just reading that the Englebert Humperdink bersion kept the Beatles 'Hello Goodbye/Strawberry Fields Forever' 45 out of the number one spot
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: Now this, right here, is one of THE great soul ballad performances
	11:07pm Doug Schulkind: Testify is comfort food for the ears, except tastier.
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: I think next year I'll have to do an all-food themed show around Thanksgiving.
	11:10pm Erica: You guys love to talk about food don't you?
	11:10pm chresti: I'm not sure now. Maybe I was referring to Malochi, the sound of the vocal in the first part of the song
	11:15pm chresti: @10:41
	11:17pm Funky16Corners: Malochi was in reality Esquerita, a wild, Little Richard-esque singer
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Google him some time. Wold looking dude, too
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Music is the food of life, and food is also the food of life
	11:21pm Erica: And food is the waste of life (sorry for the toilet humor).
	11:22pm chresti: When I first heard this song, I thought it was “who has the monkey”
	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Lady Madonna?
	11:24pm Cal Zone!: The Gary P & Union Gap cover of Lady Madonna had a little 'Young Girl' vibe in it!
	11:25pm chresti: Yeah
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: While I was goofing off in the chat room, my pot of saucy fruit pie guts where turning into syrup on the stove. Good thing I had back up fruit. As punishment I made myself wash the dishes before I could come back.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - They have some cool b-sides, when you get away from the ongoing jailbait opera they had going
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - PIE GUTS!!!
	11:27pm chresti: Who found the monkey when he paid the rent, something like that
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: I get it now
	11:27pm Franco Twinkie: Even though Mars wrote the song, John Kay is the lord and master.
	11:28pm Erica: "I never want to die". Mars is trying too hard to sound proper.
	11:28pm Funky16Corners: I always try to have a monkey pay my rent
	11:28pm Erica: Mars Bonfire are trying to hard to sound proper lyrically I mean.
	11:29pm Cal Zone!: MOTOLLA IS THE LOVE CHILD! ;)
	11:29pm Funky16Corners: He's the guy that wrote 'Born To Be Wild'. I'm sure he retired on his royalties.
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: Mars Bonfire, that is
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - This is right around the album he id with the Free Design as 'The Groovies'
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Tony was a great session guy. Check out his song Guitar USA.
	11:33pm Cal Zone!: I LOVE GUITAR USA!!! I used to do a college radio show that featured American Indie Bands in 1983...we used Guitar USA as the theme song!
	11:34pm Cal Zone!: Apt 21...such a great song...Sonny Curtis, right?
	11:34pm Franco Twinkie: Cal, those who know, know.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - John Buck Wilkin. This one, too
	11:37pm Cal Zone!: THX LG!
	11:38pm Funky16Corners: If you don't have the first JBW album, seek it out. A forgotten work of genius.
	11:40pm Franco Twinkie: This is real madcap little number.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: It's from an album of Bee Gees covers by the guy who arranged their actual albums
	11:42pm Cal Zone!: I'm now looking fwd to the turn of the century! It sounds so swell!
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: At least very mellow and upbeat.
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yk2 was a real zinger,man.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Some day I'll tell you guys my ridiculous y2K story. I spent a few years working in IT. It was a hoot.
	11:47pm Franco Twinkie: We were in an empty airport for the festivities.
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: This I like!
	11:49pm Funky16Corners: You'd dig this whole album
	11:50pm Cal Zone!: This Steve Douglas record is so groovy. Picked up last year when I heard you play it LG!
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed, Lots of cool covers.
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, Wear Your Love like Heaven makes me think of that tripped out version of Today by Tom Scott you played awhile ago.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: I didn't play that, but I know the one you're talking about. It's the one California Dreamers album I don't have, and it's hard to come by since 'Today' was sampled on a hip hop record
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Oh.
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Well, It's time to face the holiday season full on. Have a great one Larry.
	11:59pm Erica: Well the fun is over too soon. I'm nervous about tomorrow. I hope Thanksgiving goes well for me.
	11:59pm Erica: I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving too.
	12:00am Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Thank you all, and have a great Thanksgiving!
	12:02am chresti: Thanks for giving this show Larry! Enjoy you manhole cover pie!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks Chresti!
