	3:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey Chef!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: WLSClark!
	🥁 3:04pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hi!
	3:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry, Streamers!
	3:04pm Erica: Hi Larry. I saw the music video of this which took place in a library.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: That's the one!
	3:05pm Erica: The setting did.
	🥁 3:05pm WLSClark: Tears for Fears--early MTV days when me and my roommate would come home from work during the week and have 2 couches and stretch out with beers and just watch MTV ALL NIGHT!
	3:06pm Erica: Oh no not Coldplay lol.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:05 I remember those days well!
	🥁 3:06pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:05 Sounds like Heaven on earth!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:06 Maybe go get a snack and come back in a few?
	3:06pm Erica: Just teasing. Clocks is a good song.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Yvang @3:06 We didn't know it then, but now, IT WAS!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: EAR CANDY!
	🥁 3:08pm WLSClark: MTV was a savior 79-85
	3:08pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Not surprisingly, I hear lots of Coldplay on the PA system at the day job... I'd love to know who thought that music like this was appropriate to play in a grocery store at about seven in the morning?
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 I often regale my sons with tales of what MTV was in it's prime. Befoere it was all reality shows and game shows and stuff. Especially the early daus when they played all kinds of weird stuff.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:08 Chris Martin works in the deli.
	3:08pm TDK60: Hi Larry G! / RIP Jeff Beck. / Yikes, it's been cloudy gloomy in NYC for days. But I'm not affected at all. Ha, hee heh hh. Sorry.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey TDK60!
	3:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:08 No one would believe but I have BETA tapes to prove it! Obscure stuff, mainstream and VJ's! Cliff to Andrew Gold to Split Enz to members, Dolby, Chubby Checker guest VJ, martha Quinn in Macca videos!
	3:10pm Erica: ↳ TDK60 @3:08 I heard of Jeff Beck's passing. So sad. Frank Wyatt of the band Happy the Man died too.
	🥁 3:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:10 His legacy stretches to kingdom come.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:09 A few months ago I was watching a doc on the US Festival, and I was surprised at how early many of those big MTV bands had hit, like 80-81.
	🥁 3:12pm WLSClark: The percussionist needs lessons! THIS is Paul Jones????
	3:13pm CalZone!: Greetings LG and fellow Groganeers!
	3:13pm Erica: And now we return to our regular music
	3:13pm TDK60: ↳ Erica @3:10 Hi Erica. I don't know Happy the Man. Probably played on WFMU?
	🥁 3:13pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 We had one of those massive big satellite dishes that took up 10 feet of yard and reception was often snowy.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Paul Jones from Manfred Mann
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:13 Hey Cal!
	3:13pm Erica: ↳ TDK60 @3:13 Not that I know of honestly.
	3:14pm TDK60: Do wah diddy diddy diddy dum diddy do.
	🥁 3:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Ill take High Times over Not Before Time!
	3:16pm Erica: RIP Jeff Beck!
	🥁 3:17pm WLSClark: Every band members took songs to his next one....
	3:17pm TDK60: Rod Stewart's first record, I think. Jeff's "Truth" album.
	3:18pm Dean: That's rotten news about Wyatt.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:17 Rod was recording before Beck, with Shotgun Express and solo
	🥁 3:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" THIS song is just AWESOME!!!!
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:18 Yeah, HUGE fave of mine
	3:19pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 Ah, DJ LG, didn't know..
	3:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" 1968, WOW!!!!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:19 This was actually recorded 1966/67, prior to this band
	3:20pm Dean: Good info in the NYT obit about the trajectory of "Beck's Bolero."
	3:20pm TDK60: I thought Rod's solo LP came after his 2-album stint with J. Beck.
	🥁 3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" Sometimes I wonder if Ted took his great "Homebound" from listening to this song.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 It did
	3:22pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:14 Sorry folks, there was an extra "diddy" in there that shouldn't be.
	🥁 3:24pm WLSClark: Maybe Terry Reid shoulda been vocalist for Beck Group?
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 That might have been good, but I love Rod's stuff during this period
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:25 Yep!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 Rod had a bunch of early 45s, under his own name and as part of Shitgun Express: www.discogs.com...
	3:28pm TDK60: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 WLSClark: I think Rod S. was a better choice for the Jeff B. combo. / I betcha Paul Jones did the harmonica on 'Not Before Time.' He also played it on Manfred Mann's first album.
	3:28pm StringOFperils: Hey, Larry! Sorta glad I missed the Jeff Beck; it's too sad to contemplate.
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:28 Hey String!
	🥁 3:29pm WR: ↳ Song: "Minor Intrusion" by "Charles Mingus" Great lessor known Mingus composition. Lovely, moody.
	3:30pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Thanks Larry. I should know this already! .. But I'll /testify/ that I don't mind learning here, where music is a passion!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:29 I first discovered this on my father's copy, which was a weird, budget (maybe bootleg) reissue of this session.
	🥁 3:31pm David Shortell: I've never seen film footage of the "Truth" band playing live. Or even miming to a record on television. How can that be?
	3:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @3:28 Hi String!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:31 Hey David! I don't think there's any legit sound footage of that band. I've seen live footage, looked like Super 8, which someone had tried to match up to a recording, but nothing else
	3:33pm StringOFperils: Hi, Andrew!
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @3:31 You can sure see Rod earlier than that on video, tho. Funny he took "Shapes of things" from YBirds to Beck Group and then "Plynth" in that group became a new song as "Around the Plynth" for the first Small faces 45 with Rod at the helm.
	🥁 3:34pm WLSClark: He above meaning Beck, not Rod.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 I think also, the time that Stewart was with Beck was less than a year, before his solo album and then on to the Faces
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: I played that Faces 45 on my radio show in 80's and my girlfriend who was a Rod fan said "What the Hell was that?" Gotta admit it was an odd choice for an A side 45 then.
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: Im gonna lay down during this. A bit under it today and this is soothing!
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: I just checked, Rod was with Beck from early 67 to the summer of 69
	3:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 What a great lp!
	3:40pm Erica: We need more chill out here. Not just this show but WFMU in general. It can help relieve stress.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 I'm trying
	3:40pm Erica: Was referring to Strange Cargo.
	🥁 3:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 The split was abrupt. They canceled their appearance at Woodstock.
	🥁 3:42pm WR: Regarding Jeff Beck, I add to Dean's recommendation of the NYT obit for those who can get past their paywall. Here is a boot of a show in Dallas that I wish I had known about and gone to (moved to Dallas around the time of the gig). youtu.be... The recording is audio only with contemporary pics.
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & groovers. For some reason I imagine Nigel Tufnell favouring, if that is the correct word, Jeff Beck.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 That's a great album is you can find a copy
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 Hey Brian!
	3:42pm TDK60: Hi Andrew in Toronto. (I responded to WFMU channels request, again.....)
	3:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 Nigel Tufnell was definitely (physically)Jeff Beck, with dumbness turned up to 11.
	3:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @3:42 Thanks. The WFMU email never sends out my email. If you like chatting about music beyond this message board, you can reach my at: spinables1959@gmail.com Thanks.
	3:46pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Damn near perfect!
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: I can smell the heavy muskiness of patchouli now.
	🥁 3:49pm Brian in UK: How many folks would guess Donovan if they heard this 'blind'.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: I think the voice gives it away instantly
	3:50pm TDK60: Till now I never heard this Donovan cut. An outtake? Or one only on the UK version? I was just telling a young-un at an open mic about the Sunshine Superman album, that he might like it.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Bonus track on the CD issue and box sets
	3:51pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:49 I agree with Funky 16, Brian In UK. (Hiya by the way.) I knew it was Donovan right away .
	🥁 3:53pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:51 Hello TDK60. Hope you are keeping well. Must be me then!!
	3:55pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:53 I've been sick for weeks. And the gloomy skies ain't helping. So I turn on lots of lights.
	🥁 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:55 Sorry to hear that, is it reparatory. Lots of folks here are getting flu-like illnesses.
	4:00pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Funky16, re the Donovan Patchouli tune. I don't have the CD/box releases. If you can believe it I'm still listening to the original LP that's only mildly scratched. / Yes, Brian-UK, a long cold it is; finally fading.. Oh! 4PM? Time for tea!..
	4:03pm Erica: Donald Fagen's birthday was on Tuesday.
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @4:00 I'll get the crumpets & scones. Got some home made Blackcurrant jam, I would recommend. My wife had a nasty one that lasted two weeks, a real knockout.
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:03 Happy Birthday Donald!
	4:04pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I must say that I have never heard this Steely Dan album from start to finish, despite having had it in the collection for years. I need to pull it out and remedy that. Full disclosure, Pretzel Logic is my absolute favourite :)
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:04 Solid all the way through
	🥁 4:05pm WR: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 Home made jam? I'm in.
	🥁 4:06pm Brian in UK: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:04 Rikki is peerless. Thanks Horace.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: She wrote this for her husband when he was in prison for draft resistance
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: Just got up but was listening and it was Heavenly.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:22 Thanks!
	4:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Blue Mountain" by "Michael Hurley" I love this guy's records.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:26 Me too. Very interesting guy.
	🥁 4:28pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been an exhibition of Joni's artwork?
	4:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:26 Michael played at the Tranzac Club a couple of years ago.
	🥁 4:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blue Mountain" by "Michael Hurley" Thinking about when this was recorded, the distance of time from now to then, and although it is derived from a style that was archaic even then it is timeless. Last I checked, Hurley is still releasing recordings on his bandcamp.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:28 I don't know but I think there must have been. She's a great painter.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:28 It sounds like it's being piped in from the distant past
	4:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:28 I'm not at all surprised, Andrew. Naturally, I missed it...I don't get out much...I should pay more attention to that place...I greatly regret missing Martin Carthy there, and undoubtedly there've been more.
	4:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 Jeeeez, I didn`t know Martin Carthy played there.
	4:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 You might want to sign up for Songkick to find out when shows are.
	4:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:29 Do you know the Ray Charles version of this?
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:32 I do. Amazing song.
	4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:31 I will do that. Thanks!
	🥁 4:34pm WR: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Bruner" New to me artist, my nephew was a "lineman" for a few years, between Tulsa and Wichita, and yes he got tired of people singing lines from the song to him.
	4:34pm TDK60: That Joni tune has always haunted me. Thanks for playin' DJ.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:34 My pleasure, always
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:34 Very obscure artist with a sad story. I'll talk about in the break
	4:37pm Craig fitch: Love your show, thanks
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Oscar Isaac sings this in Inside Llewyn Davis
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Craig fitch @4:37 Thank you, Craig!
	4:39pm TDK60: Dave Van Ronk! I go to an open mic near to the street named after him in the Village.
	4:39pm Erica: Hi Craig.
	4:41pm TDK60: Larry, I've never seen "Inside Llewyn Davis." Is it worth a look?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:41 I love it. A lot.
	4:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Ditto. Fiction, but captures the flavor of that moment and that place...and a very well-made film
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:42 Yes, and Isaac is such a great actor. One of my current favorites
	4:44pm Erica: Why do I remember this from 2012?
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:44 Someone used it in a commercial
	4:46pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:45 Didn't know that Larry. I first heard it on another radio station.
	🥁 4:46pm WLSClark: That was a little Sufjan sounding? Maybe?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:46 I can't remember what the ads were for, but it was on TV a lot
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:46 Could be, if Sufjan moved to Norway
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: Another great show! Thanks a lot Larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Just close your eyes and float...
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	4:50pm StringOFperils: Today's line-up really goes well with the gray rainy desolation outside...but actually pleased it's rain and not the ice age
	4:50pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I concur... this was a very eye opening show, but then again, I can no longer be surprised by what you pull off the shelf anymore. Well done, sir.
	4:50pm TDK60: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Yes, Andrew. I listen to a /lot/ of WFMU shows. There's an enthusiasm here about music that's infectious.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:50 Thanks String!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:50 Thanks Chef!
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: This one is sounding a bit like a pared down "Endlessly" by John Foxx? I dont know lots of these artists but I hear what I hear
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry. Hope everyone stays well.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @4:51 Maybe that is NOT the song I am thinking of, but I THINK so.
	4:52pm Erica: Very fun and peaceful show Larry.
	🥁 4:53pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:47 Or did a CD called "Norway".
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: Out of my element here, but very liking it!
	4:54pm TDK60: Yeah, that scene in Alice's Restaurant is also haunting.
	4:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm TDK60: Mississippi John Hurt is a saint for sure. Do you know, Larry, Patrick Sky played and helped in production of some of Hurt's come-back '60s LPs?
	🥁 4:56pm WLSClark: Nice music, larry!
	4:56pm Woo: Loved this show. Thank you!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:55 I did not know that!
	4:56pm StringOFperils: Thanks a lot Larry! Great!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	4:57pm Erica: See you next week, same time for Van Dyke Parks
	🥁 4:57pm WR: Great free form Testify! Thank you, Larry!
	4:57pm StringOFperils: I see the Mighty Sparrow in our future.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:57 Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:57 Thanks WR!

	3:05pm Funky16Corners: That's the one!
	3:05pm Erica: The setting did.
	🥁 3:05pm WLSClark: Tears for Fears--early MTV days when me and my roommate would come home from work during the week and have 2 couches and stretch out with beers and just watch MTV ALL NIGHT!
	3:06pm Erica: Oh no not Coldplay lol.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:05 I remember those days well!
	🥁 3:06pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:05 Sounds like Heaven on earth!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:06 Maybe go get a snack and come back in a few?
	3:06pm Erica: Just teasing. Clocks is a good song.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Yvang @3:06 We didn't know it then, but now, IT WAS!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: EAR CANDY!
	🥁 3:08pm WLSClark: MTV was a savior 79-85
	3:08pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Not surprisingly, I hear lots of Coldplay on the PA system at the day job... I'd love to know who thought that music like this was appropriate to play in a grocery store at about seven in the morning?
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 I often regale my sons with tales of what MTV was in it's prime. Befoere it was all reality shows and game shows and stuff. Especially the early daus when they played all kinds of weird stuff.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:08 Chris Martin works in the deli.
	3:08pm TDK60: Hi Larry G! / RIP Jeff Beck. / Yikes, it's been cloudy gloomy in NYC for days. But I'm not affected at all. Ha, hee heh hh. Sorry.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey TDK60!
	3:09pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi Clark!
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:08 No one would believe but I have BETA tapes to prove it! Obscure stuff, mainstream and VJ's! Cliff to Andrew Gold to Split Enz to members, Dolby, Chubby Checker guest VJ, martha Quinn in Macca videos!
	3:10pm Erica: ↳ TDK60 @3:08 I heard of Jeff Beck's passing. So sad. Frank Wyatt of the band Happy the Man died too.
	🥁 3:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:10 His legacy stretches to kingdom come.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:09 A few months ago I was watching a doc on the US Festival, and I was surprised at how early many of those big MTV bands had hit, like 80-81.
	🥁 3:12pm WLSClark: The percussionist needs lessons! THIS is Paul Jones????
	3:13pm CalZone!: Greetings LG and fellow Groganeers!
	3:13pm Erica: And now we return to our regular music
	3:13pm TDK60: ↳ Erica @3:10 Hi Erica. I don't know Happy the Man. Probably played on WFMU?
	🥁 3:13pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 We had one of those massive big satellite dishes that took up 10 feet of yard and reception was often snowy.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Paul Jones from Manfred Mann
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:13 Hey Cal!
	3:13pm Erica: ↳ TDK60 @3:13 Not that I know of honestly.
	3:14pm TDK60: Do wah diddy diddy diddy dum diddy do.
	🥁 3:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Ill take High Times over Not Before Time!
	3:16pm Erica: RIP Jeff Beck!
	🥁 3:17pm WLSClark: Every band members took songs to his next one....
	3:17pm TDK60: Rod Stewart's first record, I think. Jeff's "Truth" album.
	3:18pm Dean: That's rotten news about Wyatt.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:17 Rod was recording before Beck, with Shotgun Express and solo
	🥁 3:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" THIS song is just AWESOME!!!!
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:18 Yeah, HUGE fave of mine
	3:19pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:18 Ah, DJ LG, didn't know..
	3:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" 1968, WOW!!!!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:19 This was actually recorded 1966/67, prior to this band
	3:20pm Dean: Good info in the NYT obit about the trajectory of "Beck's Bolero."
	3:20pm TDK60: I thought Rod's solo LP came after his 2-album stint with J. Beck.
	🥁 3:20pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Beck's Bolero" by "Jeff Beck" Sometimes I wonder if Ted took his great "Homebound" from listening to this song.
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 It did
	3:22pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:14 Sorry folks, there was an extra "diddy" in there that shouldn't be.
	🥁 3:24pm WLSClark: Maybe Terry Reid shoulda been vocalist for Beck Group?
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 That might have been good, but I love Rod's stuff during this period
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:25 Yep!
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:20 Rod had a bunch of early 45s, under his own name and as part of Shitgun Express: www.discogs.com...
	3:28pm TDK60: ↳ WLSClark @3:24 WLSClark: I think Rod S. was a better choice for the Jeff B. combo. / I betcha Paul Jones did the harmonica on 'Not Before Time.' He also played it on Manfred Mann's first album.
	3:28pm StringOFperils: Hey, Larry! Sorta glad I missed the Jeff Beck; it's too sad to contemplate.
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:28 Hey String!
	🥁 3:29pm WR: ↳ Song: "Minor Intrusion" by "Charles Mingus" Great lessor known Mingus composition. Lovely, moody.
	3:30pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Thanks Larry. I should know this already! .. But I'll /testify/ that I don't mind learning here, where music is a passion!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:29 I first discovered this on my father's copy, which was a weird, budget (maybe bootleg) reissue of this session.
	🥁 3:31pm David Shortell: I've never seen film footage of the "Truth" band playing live. Or even miming to a record on television. How can that be?
	3:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @3:28 Hi String!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:31 Hey David! I don't think there's any legit sound footage of that band. I've seen live footage, looked like Super 8, which someone had tried to match up to a recording, but nothing else
	3:33pm StringOFperils: Hi, Andrew!
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @3:31 You can sure see Rod earlier than that on video, tho. Funny he took "Shapes of things" from YBirds to Beck Group and then "Plynth" in that group became a new song as "Around the Plynth" for the first Small faces 45 with Rod at the helm.
	🥁 3:34pm WLSClark: He above meaning Beck, not Rod.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 I think also, the time that Stewart was with Beck was less than a year, before his solo album and then on to the Faces
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: I played that Faces 45 on my radio show in 80's and my girlfriend who was a Rod fan said "What the Hell was that?" Gotta admit it was an odd choice for an A side 45 then.
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: Im gonna lay down during this. A bit under it today and this is soothing!
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: I just checked, Rod was with Beck from early 67 to the summer of 69
	3:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 What a great lp!
	3:40pm Erica: We need more chill out here. Not just this show but WFMU in general. It can help relieve stress.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 I'm trying
	3:40pm Erica: Was referring to Strange Cargo.
	🥁 3:41pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:37 The split was abrupt. They canceled their appearance at Woodstock.
	🥁 3:42pm WR: Regarding Jeff Beck, I add to Dean's recommendation of the NYT obit for those who can get past their paywall. Here is a boot of a show in Dallas that I wish I had known about and gone to (moved to Dallas around the time of the gig). youtu.be... The recording is audio only with contemporary pics.
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & groovers. For some reason I imagine Nigel Tufnell favouring, if that is the correct word, Jeff Beck.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:40 That's a great album is you can find a copy
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 Hey Brian!
	3:42pm TDK60: Hi Andrew in Toronto. (I responded to WFMU channels request, again.....)
	3:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 Nigel Tufnell was definitely (physically)Jeff Beck, with dumbness turned up to 11.
	3:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @3:42 Thanks. The WFMU email never sends out my email. If you like chatting about music beyond this message board, you can reach my at: spinables1959@gmail.com Thanks.
	3:46pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @3:44 Damn near perfect!
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: I can smell the heavy muskiness of patchouli now.
	🥁 3:49pm Brian in UK: How many folks would guess Donovan if they heard this 'blind'.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: I think the voice gives it away instantly
	3:50pm TDK60: Till now I never heard this Donovan cut. An outtake? Or one only on the UK version? I was just telling a young-un at an open mic about the Sunshine Superman album, that he might like it.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:50 Bonus track on the CD issue and box sets
	3:51pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:49 I agree with Funky 16, Brian In UK. (Hiya by the way.) I knew it was Donovan right away .
	🥁 3:53pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:51 Hello TDK60. Hope you are keeping well. Must be me then!!
	3:55pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:53 I've been sick for weeks. And the gloomy skies ain't helping. So I turn on lots of lights.
	🥁 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:55 Sorry to hear that, is it reparatory. Lots of folks here are getting flu-like illnesses.
	4:00pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Funky16, re the Donovan Patchouli tune. I don't have the CD/box releases. If you can believe it I'm still listening to the original LP that's only mildly scratched. / Yes, Brian-UK, a long cold it is; finally fading.. Oh! 4PM? Time for tea!..
	4:03pm Erica: Donald Fagen's birthday was on Tuesday.
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @4:00 I'll get the crumpets & scones. Got some home made Blackcurrant jam, I would recommend. My wife had a nasty one that lasted two weeks, a real knockout.
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:03 Happy Birthday Donald!
	4:04pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I must say that I have never heard this Steely Dan album from start to finish, despite having had it in the collection for years. I need to pull it out and remedy that. Full disclosure, Pretzel Logic is my absolute favourite :)
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:04 Solid all the way through
	🥁 4:05pm WR: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 Home made jam? I'm in.
	🥁 4:06pm Brian in UK: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:04 Rikki is peerless. Thanks Horace.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: She wrote this for her husband when he was in prison for draft resistance
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: Just got up but was listening and it was Heavenly.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:22 Thanks!
	4:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Blue Mountain" by "Michael Hurley" I love this guy's records.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:26 Me too. Very interesting guy.
	🥁 4:28pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been an exhibition of Joni's artwork?
	4:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:26 Michael played at the Tranzac Club a couple of years ago.
	🥁 4:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blue Mountain" by "Michael Hurley" Thinking about when this was recorded, the distance of time from now to then, and although it is derived from a style that was archaic even then it is timeless. Last I checked, Hurley is still releasing recordings on his bandcamp.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:28 I don't know but I think there must have been. She's a great painter.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:28 It sounds like it's being piped in from the distant past
	4:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:28 I'm not at all surprised, Andrew. Naturally, I missed it...I don't get out much...I should pay more attention to that place...I greatly regret missing Martin Carthy there, and undoubtedly there've been more.
	4:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 Jeeeez, I didn`t know Martin Carthy played there.
	4:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 You might want to sign up for Songkick to find out when shows are.
	4:32pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:29 Do you know the Ray Charles version of this?
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:32 I do. Amazing song.
	4:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:31 I will do that. Thanks!
	🥁 4:34pm WR: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Bruner" New to me artist, my nephew was a "lineman" for a few years, between Tulsa and Wichita, and yes he got tired of people singing lines from the song to him.
	4:34pm TDK60: That Joni tune has always haunted me. Thanks for playin' DJ.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:34 My pleasure, always
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:34 Very obscure artist with a sad story. I'll talk about in the break
	4:37pm Craig fitch: Love your show, thanks
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Oscar Isaac sings this in Inside Llewyn Davis
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Craig fitch @4:37 Thank you, Craig!
	4:39pm TDK60: Dave Van Ronk! I go to an open mic near to the street named after him in the Village.
	4:39pm Erica: Hi Craig.
	4:41pm TDK60: Larry, I've never seen "Inside Llewyn Davis." Is it worth a look?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:41 I love it. A lot.
	4:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Ditto. Fiction, but captures the flavor of that moment and that place...and a very well-made film
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:42 Yes, and Isaac is such a great actor. One of my current favorites
	4:44pm Erica: Why do I remember this from 2012?
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:44 Someone used it in a commercial
	4:46pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:45 Didn't know that Larry. I first heard it on another radio station.
	🥁 4:46pm WLSClark: That was a little Sufjan sounding? Maybe?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:46 I can't remember what the ads were for, but it was on TV a lot
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:46 Could be, if Sufjan moved to Norway
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: Another great show! Thanks a lot Larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Just close your eyes and float...
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	4:50pm StringOFperils: Today's line-up really goes well with the gray rainy desolation outside...but actually pleased it's rain and not the ice age
	4:50pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I concur... this was a very eye opening show, but then again, I can no longer be surprised by what you pull off the shelf anymore. Well done, sir.
	4:50pm TDK60: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Yes, Andrew. I listen to a /lot/ of WFMU shows. There's an enthusiasm here about music that's infectious.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:50 Thanks String!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:50 Thanks Chef!
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: This one is sounding a bit like a pared down "Endlessly" by John Foxx? I dont know lots of these artists but I hear what I hear
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry. Hope everyone stays well.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @4:51 Maybe that is NOT the song I am thinking of, but I THINK so.
	4:52pm Erica: Very fun and peaceful show Larry.
	🥁 4:53pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:47 Or did a CD called "Norway".
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: Out of my element here, but very liking it!
	4:54pm TDK60: Yeah, that scene in Alice's Restaurant is also haunting.
	4:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm TDK60: Mississippi John Hurt is a saint for sure. Do you know, Larry, Patrick Sky played and helped in production of some of Hurt's come-back '60s LPs?
	🥁 4:56pm WLSClark: Nice music, larry!
	4:56pm Woo: Loved this show. Thank you!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @4:55 I did not know that!
	4:56pm StringOFperils: Thanks a lot Larry! Great!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	4:57pm Erica: See you next week, same time for Van Dyke Parks
	🥁 4:57pm WR: Great free form Testify! Thank you, Larry!
	4:57pm StringOFperils: I see the Mighty Sparrow in our future.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:57 Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:57 Thanks WR!
