	3:26pm Erica: Feeling like I'm in the Great Depression.

	3:32pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of Denny Doherty's solo career....

	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Tapped into the 50 year old zeitgeist!
	3:38pm davefromtoronto: there's a cat stevens tune i'm thinking of...
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: For the theme, or that this reminds you of?
	3:39pm davefromtoronto: yeah for this day of the week...
	3:40pm davefromtoronto: i'm having a hard time thinking of a "wednesday" tune - except this one i was gonna say!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: Which one (for next time)?
	3:42pm davefromtoronto: tuesday's dead
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: Duly noted!
	3:43pm davefromtoronto: oh shit you're larry???
	3:44pm Erica: Tuesday has no feel. (Seinfeld reference).
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: I think so. Wait, let me check...
	3:45pm Erica: Haha Larry.
	3:45pm davefromtoronto: i thought i was chatting with a fellow audience member - loving the show! thanks!
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: There ought to be a logo to indicate that it's the on-air DJ.
	3:47pm Mike Sin: Pinkiny Canandy is my favorite superhero who wears pink tights.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike!
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: This one I am DEFINITELY singing.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - I'm glad somebody else knows that record!
	3:50pm davefromtoronto: yeah sorry i finally did the math and saw the BIG BLUE funkycorners under the show title...oops.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: No problem. I like to keep a low profile.
	🥁 3:52pm oh shit you're larry???: I'm in a daze here. Can you help me?
	3:52pm Mike Sin: @Larry -- Ha! There was a time when some LPs were just considered "used" not "vintage" and priced accordingly!
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: Now I'm confused.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - You know the connection to The Knack?
	3:53pm Mike Sin: All I can say is that I hope we all get some love & kisses when Larry gets to Friday! ;)
	3:54pm Mike Sin: @Larry -- Pinkiny Canandy connection to the Knack? No.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - The original/60s Knack that recorded for Capitol. At least two of the guys are in Pinkiny Canandy
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: These guys: www.discogs.com...
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: I take that back, only Mike Chain from The Knack
	3:58pm Mike Sin: The Joe Jackson Band was the greatest show I ever saw... at Great Adventure!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Graham Maby was/is a monster.
	🥁 4:00pm WR: um. I see that my humor attempt wasn't very well done. Didn't mean the daze comment to reflect harshly on davefromtoronto; just stretching for days / daze pun.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: I thought it was funny!
	4:02pm davefromtoronto: hey not at all! i thought it was funny and apropos.
	4:03pm Erica: Steely Dan?
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Yes.
	4:04pm Erica: Yes!
	🥁 4:05pm Brian in UK: Jimmie Haskell used To Claudia on Thursday for his bizarre California '99.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: The Denny Doherty song I played is the flipside of Claudia (recycled from his first solo album)
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: And California 99 is WILD! Just the packaging alone if crazy, let alone the concept,
	4:08pm TDK60: Never heard this Blues Project track. Saw them once.
	4:09pm davefromtoronto: hey larry - now that we're on a first name basis - where'd you find that version on monday monday?
	🥁 4:11pm Brian in UK: Holding out for The Undertones 'When Saturday Comes'.
	4:15pm davefromtoronto: version OF monday monday...
	4:17pm TDK60: I was just thinking about Joe J., how he doesn't get mentioned enough; great stuff.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: Joe Jackson had a great Blue Note style cover. He dipped in and out of styles.
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Dave - Which version?
	4:19pm Andres: Hey, Larry and all! Friday nights - Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas!
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Andres!
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Yes, early on he did the Jumping Jive EP and another one of reggae stuff
	4:20pm davefromtoronto: okay i promise i'm not high or slow but i heard that version you played with no background vocals at all.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure why.It was the regular version from the Collected 3CD set. Maybe there was a problem on your end. I checked the transmission and have stereo coming through.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: Anyone else having stereo dropout issues?
	4:23pm davefromtoronto: weird - that's why i said it was great to hear just him singing. i'm gonna listen to the archive playback later. i assumed it was an alternate version
	4:24pm Andres: Sounding good on app.
	4:24pm Erica: Yes. I have the same dropout.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Are you using the phone app?
	4:25pm davefromtoronto: no i'm at home on my pc - both my speakers are working. what the hell?..
	4:25pm Mike Sin: If "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" sold in the hundred thousands, the '70s would have been an entirely different world for Frankie Valli! He definitely would have grown an awesome beard and worn sunglasses all the time. Frankie Avalon would then have gotten the "Grease" title tune!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Hmmmm...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Everything else sound OK?
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - Great album!
	4:26pm Candy-O'67: I agree with you Larry on early Joe Jackson. I have Get Sharp! Love that record. I saw Joe at the Paramount Theatre here in Austin shortly before the pandemic
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - one of two great/failed concept albums that Jake Holmes had his hand in at the time, the other being Sinatra's Watertown
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - Was he playing the early stuff?
	4:28pm Mike Sin: Jake Holmes just couldn't catch a break!
	4:28pm davefromtoronto: yes - can anyone else remember if they heard it like that? it was great though - i went to spotify right after to try and find it...
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - No kidding
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Dave - I wonder if it was some kind of glitch in the stream?
	4:29pm davefromtoronto: wow - that's weird. i'm def gonna check the archive as soon as it's up.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Me too!
	4:32pm TDK60: One of my fave Airplane LPs. Referencing free concerts in Golden Gate Park, etc. then.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: LOVE the Airplane.
	4:34pm Candy-O'67: Larry, yes, he was! He played for quite a while.
	4:35pm DarkSide Russian Hacker: I am controlling your stream. I demand a ransom of $4million worth of D4 record cleaner.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: So one, tiny bottle?
	4:37pm Erica: Love this Small Faces song. Very Cockney.
	4:41pm doctorjazz: Fun concept, enjoying it immensely!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Months of the year next (I wantto hear September Gurls, Big Star)!
	4:42pm davefromtoronto: i feel vindicated now...
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Good idea!
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: I had so many great versions of this song. It was hard to choose.
	🥁 4:46pm Yvang: Only seven days and so many great songs.
	4:46pm TDK60: Ha! Recall first droppin' the needle on this first VU track, not knowing what would follow immediately! (Really, this does remind me of NYC long ago.)
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: It is so bizarre that this album contains this, and Heroin
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: In a sane world this would have been a hit.
	4:48pm TDK60: It could've been a hit.
	🥁 4:48pm Yvang: In my world it is a hit.
	4:48pm TDK60: Speaking of NYC..
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, right?
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Listen to the lyrics to this one, they're great.
	4:49pm davefromtoronto: love DVR - "losers" is my theme song.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: He has a place of honor in my personal musical pantheon.
	4:51pm davefromtoronto: i'd kill to be able to play guitar like that...
	4:51pm TDK60: Yeah Yvang, It is a No. 1 hit (VU). / I make a pilgrimage down to West 4th (mentioned in Blues Project tune earlier) and D.V.R. St. on occasion.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: I always said that if I could play Piedmont style guitar I'd never do anything else. I'd die under a tree with my guitar.
	4:52pm davefromtoronto: this song was my ear worm all last week! spanky etc
	4:53pm TDK60: Larry, was that you who did a Sunshine Pop special several years ago?
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: The sun is shining.
	🥁 4:53pm WR: Thanks Larry, that's now my new favorite Van Ronk song.
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60, yes four hours long!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @WR - That's cool!
	4:53pm TDK60: I think I was there..
	4:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks. Larry!
	🥁 4:55pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry.
	🥁 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Good day!
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks for the Weekday show Larry. Wish it weren't so warm out so I could better enjoy the show.
	4:58pm TDK60: So many great Daily cuts. Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm davefromtoronto: super fun show - thanks!
	🥁 4:59pm WR: Thank you Larry! I've heard of that Pop Quiz UK show but haven't seen any yet. Maybe can find some to watch on this long weekend.
	5:00pm Andres: Thank you, Larry!!
	5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
	5:01pm Erica: Is next week's show Yacht Rock themed? Cause I will certainly tune in to that. That or a big band & swing show.
	🥁 5:01pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Great show... as usual!
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That would be a big old bullseye!
	🥁 5:01pm Yvang: Made my day!
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!

	4:09pm davefromtoronto: hey larry - now that we're on a first name basis - where'd you find that version on monday monday?
	🥁 4:11pm Brian in UK: Holding out for The Undertones 'When Saturday Comes'.
	4:15pm davefromtoronto: version OF monday monday...
	4:17pm TDK60: I was just thinking about Joe J., how he doesn't get mentioned enough; great stuff.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: Joe Jackson had a great Blue Note style cover. He dipped in and out of styles.
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Dave - Which version?
	4:19pm Andres: Hey, Larry and all! Friday nights - Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas!
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Andres!
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Yes, early on he did the Jumping Jive EP and another one of reggae stuff
	4:20pm davefromtoronto: okay i promise i'm not high or slow but i heard that version you played with no background vocals at all.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure why.It was the regular version from the Collected 3CD set. Maybe there was a problem on your end. I checked the transmission and have stereo coming through.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: Anyone else having stereo dropout issues?
	4:23pm davefromtoronto: weird - that's why i said it was great to hear just him singing. i'm gonna listen to the archive playback later. i assumed it was an alternate version
	4:24pm Andres: Sounding good on app.
	4:24pm Erica: Yes. I have the same dropout.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Are you using the phone app?
	4:25pm davefromtoronto: no i'm at home on my pc - both my speakers are working. what the hell?..
	4:25pm Mike Sin: If "Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" sold in the hundred thousands, the '70s would have been an entirely different world for Frankie Valli! He definitely would have grown an awesome beard and worn sunglasses all the time. Frankie Avalon would then have gotten the "Grease" title tune!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Hmmmm...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Everything else sound OK?
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - Great album!
	4:26pm Candy-O'67: I agree with you Larry on early Joe Jackson. I have Get Sharp! Love that record. I saw Joe at the Paramount Theatre here in Austin shortly before the pandemic
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - one of two great/failed concept albums that Jake Holmes had his hand in at the time, the other being Sinatra's Watertown
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O - Was he playing the early stuff?
	4:28pm Mike Sin: Jake Holmes just couldn't catch a break!
	4:28pm davefromtoronto: yes - can anyone else remember if they heard it like that? it was great though - i went to spotify right after to try and find it...
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - No kidding
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: @Dave - I wonder if it was some kind of glitch in the stream?
	4:29pm davefromtoronto: wow - that's weird. i'm def gonna check the archive as soon as it's up.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Me too!
	4:32pm TDK60: One of my fave Airplane LPs. Referencing free concerts in Golden Gate Park, etc. then.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: LOVE the Airplane.
	4:34pm Candy-O'67: Larry, yes, he was! He played for quite a while.
	4:35pm DarkSide Russian Hacker: I am controlling your stream. I demand a ransom of $4million worth of D4 record cleaner.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: So one, tiny bottle?
	4:37pm Erica: Love this Small Faces song. Very Cockney.
	4:41pm doctorjazz: Fun concept, enjoying it immensely!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Months of the year next (I wantto hear September Gurls, Big Star)!
	4:42pm davefromtoronto: i feel vindicated now...
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Good idea!
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: I had so many great versions of this song. It was hard to choose.
	🥁 4:46pm Yvang: Only seven days and so many great songs.
	4:46pm TDK60: Ha! Recall first droppin' the needle on this first VU track, not knowing what would follow immediately! (Really, this does remind me of NYC long ago.)
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: It is so bizarre that this album contains this, and Heroin
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: In a sane world this would have been a hit.
	4:48pm TDK60: It could've been a hit.
	🥁 4:48pm Yvang: In my world it is a hit.
	4:48pm TDK60: Speaking of NYC..
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, right?
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Listen to the lyrics to this one, they're great.
	4:49pm davefromtoronto: love DVR - "losers" is my theme song.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: He has a place of honor in my personal musical pantheon.
	4:51pm davefromtoronto: i'd kill to be able to play guitar like that...
	4:51pm TDK60: Yeah Yvang, It is a No. 1 hit (VU). / I make a pilgrimage down to West 4th (mentioned in Blues Project tune earlier) and D.V.R. St. on occasion.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: I always said that if I could play Piedmont style guitar I'd never do anything else. I'd die under a tree with my guitar.
	4:52pm davefromtoronto: this song was my ear worm all last week! spanky etc
	4:53pm TDK60: Larry, was that you who did a Sunshine Pop special several years ago?
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: The sun is shining.
	🥁 4:53pm WR: Thanks Larry, that's now my new favorite Van Ronk song.
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60, yes four hours long!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: @WR - That's cool!
	4:53pm TDK60: I think I was there..
	4:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks. Larry!
	🥁 4:55pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry.
	🥁 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Good day!
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks for the Weekday show Larry. Wish it weren't so warm out so I could better enjoy the show.
	4:58pm TDK60: So many great Daily cuts. Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm davefromtoronto: super fun show - thanks!
	🥁 4:59pm WR: Thank you Larry! I've heard of that Pop Quiz UK show but haven't seen any yet. Maybe can find some to watch on this long weekend.
	5:00pm Andres: Thank you, Larry!!
	5:00pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
	5:01pm Erica: Is next week's show Yacht Rock themed? Cause I will certainly tune in to that. That or a big band & swing show.
	🥁 5:01pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Great show... as usual!
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That would be a big old bullseye!
	🥁 5:01pm Yvang: Made my day!
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!
