WFMU: Testify! with Larry Grogan: Playlist from September 25, 2019

Listener comments!
	10:01pm chresti: Hi testify!
	10:01pm Funky16Corners: Hi Chresti!
	10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Larry and my fellow listeners
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	10:04pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, I feel as though I need to know about anyone who is bold enough to call themselves Tupper Saussy.
	10:04pm Erica: Hi testifiers
	10:04pm Jeff Ash: My son drank a liter of Mountain Dew during his PhD class tonight and just tweeted that "now I can see sounds." I have a hunch this evening's program will leave me feeling much the same.
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Franco! Erica! Jeff!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - I will do my best to explain!
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Jeff, Is he in a control group at Stanford?
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - The ability to transcend reality will vary from person to person, but we always try!
	10:08pm Jeff Ash: No, Franco, just your garden-variety history class at Maryland. Not all that far from Larry!
	10:09pm Franco Twinkie: I get the feeling The Wayward Bus only has a glancing resemblance to John Steinbeck.
	10:11pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, crank. Let's get that established right out of the gate.
	10:13pm Franco Twinkie: Kmart Nostradamus.
	10:14pm Erica: Kmart Franco?
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link to the article. Makes for fascinating reading: www.oxfordamerican.org...
	10:15pm Funky16Corners: I think Franco is referring to David Hoy, the voice in the first record
	10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Yes.
	10:16pm Erica: Oh. I thought he was talking about the department store. Haha!
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: To obtuse, I guess.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: If you guys sense any break in the stream please give me a heads up. They were having problems today.
	10:21pm Erica: Oh not again Larry.
	10:21pm Erica: We'll let you know.
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: I know that the tech people were on the case.
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: Without delving into the article, I'll bet Mr. Saussy found employment scoring some less that epic projects on the sound stages of Hollywood.
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: As far as I can tell, outside of some advertising work he never recorded outside of Nashville.
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: Wow, his talent is so outsized and worldly for such a provincial factory town.
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, thus my fascination with him, You expect this kind of thing out of NY or London. Not Nashville.
	10:33pm Erica: When Ray Stevens tried to sound English.
	10:33pm Franco Twinkie: Exactly.
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This Ray Stevens album is pretty good, but this is the only thing on it that sounds like this
	10:34pm doctorjazz: Hi all.
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: It's also the only one with the involvement of Tupper Saussy
	10:35pm Franco Twinkie: This is real Stilton cheese!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: It's like if David Axelrod never went to the dark side....but apparently he did!
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: Less funky than Axelrod, but equally far out
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: That Roy Orbison track I mentioned is up next
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: It seems as if he had a whole universe banging around inside his head. Usually people who have a contained battle plan are the ones who go off the rails.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. In the article there's a quote from someone that knew him who basically said he was too intelligent for his own good.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: Like all that brainpower and creative drive and not enough legitimate artistic expression to use it all up.
	10:52pm Franco Twinkie: Right. And probably a lot of self regard that was not properly acknowledged. But, they kept throwing money at him hoping for pay dirt.
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. He had one hit and he kept making records that must have cost a mint and brought in little money in return.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Mr. Business Man by Ray Stevens would not have been possible without Man In The Gray Flannel Suit.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: True, and it's one of those records that was a hit but is kind of neglected by oldies radio.
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: It's to strident, I guess, But it could easily be applied to the young corporate strives of today.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: It's an evergreen sentiment
	11:07pm rw: Good evening! Nice to see Franco and Funky getting along so well!
	11:07pm Erica: Hi rw!
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw! Me and Franco get on like gangbusters!
	11:08pm rw: Erica!
	11:09pm rw: And sorry to interrupt. Just wanted to say hello!!
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: Glad you're here!
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, that sentiment is kind of like the horrible insect that hibernates under the soil for fifty years then wakes up and nauseates everybody.
	11:10pm chresti: Harlequin marmalade moth buses
	11:12pm Erica: Speaking of horrible insects, it seems like everyone is fascinated by those spotted lantern flies.
	11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - As our current situation proves, greed never goes away. Sometimes it erupts like a volcano.
	11:14pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, so the prognosis is this: No more plant life unless...
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I hadn't heard about that. Creepy.
	11:15pm Erica: Yeah I saw on the news that those lantern flies are being used as science projects and jewelry.
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: Can you cook them?
	11:17pm Erica: Why would you Franco?
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: Banjo!
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, I don't know. But they say a neglected form of protein are bugs. I myself am not adverse to the occasional toasted grasshopper.
	11:23pm Erica: Sorry Franco but I don't eat insects. I fear of getting sick or having parasites.
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: I can see Ken Berry doing a little soft shoe while tapping a cane doing this 1970's material.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: I think that is spot on
	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, I hope I'm not around anymore when all of humanity is going backwards as it goes forward and is reduced to eating bugs.
	11:36pm Franco Twinkie: Penny Nichols gets fourth billing on this concert poster below Traffic, Blue Cheer and H.P. Lovecraft.
	11:37pm Funky16Corners: She was good friends with a young Jackson Browne and I think George Harrison as well.
	11:38pm Erica: Fargo should've been bigger. Ever heard of "Sunny Day Blue"? I discovered the 45 rip from Little Danny's Office Naps blog.
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: She was also married to Harry Shearer.
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: Really?!?
	11:39pm Erica: Ned Flanders Harry Shearer?
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This is the flipside to Sunny Day Blue
	11:39pm Franco Twinkie: I read it, so it must be true.
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Erica. Flanders.
	11:41pm Erica: Cool Larry. Also, I wish to hear a clearer copy of that song. Danny's was not in the best shape.
	11:41pm Funky16Corners: Harry goes back to the 50s in LA. He was on the Jack Benny show as a child actor
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I'll def play it sometime
	11:43pm Franco Twinkie: I use to see him preform at The Ashgrove.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: With the Credibility Gap?
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: Yup.
	11:46pm Erica: While on the subject of the Neon Philharmonic, do you have this 45 Larry? Is it the same band or is it the other band, the Neon Philharmonic Orchestra? www.discogs.com...
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: That's the band name after it was sold to someone else. No Saussy involvement as far as I know.
	11:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. Have a good night everyone. I’ve been listening but had stuff to do.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: Nite Matt!
	11:50pm Erica: I am still curious to hear the A and b sides anyway Larry.
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: This is real nice.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Me too. I'll grab it if I see it somewhere.
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - This whole album is really nice.
	11:52pm Erica: There are a few copies on Discogs Larry, not sure if they're in good condition though.
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Well Larry, this show was quite a revelation. Now I have another under recognized crack pot to study up on.
	11:57pm Erica: This show went bu quite quickly. I learned a bit tonight.
	11:59pm rw: Thank you F16C! Wasn't paying much attention to the history, etc. this evening (even though it sounded interesting) but did enjoy listening!! Take care everyone!
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: @Franco - Under-recognized crackpots are a specialty of the house!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Thanks rw!
	12:00am rw: And I think one of those spotted bugs just bit me on the elbow. Or maybe it was a mosquito.
