	♥ 8:01pm WR: Oh, yes, right, I clearly remember every recording that I liked that I've heard. Want me to start listing them for you?
	♥ 8:04pm melinda: enjoying the funky sounds
	8:05pm Jill B: Light snow this Am, more incoming later today and tonight. COLD.
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: RevRab and Multi-Channel!
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: ↳ Jill B @8:05 We had ice rain hitting the window earlier today
	♥ 8:07pm doctorjazz: I am gingerly and politely trying to approach something like funkiness here in Joisey..Kindly create a bit of funkiness of your own, like a good fellow...
	♥ 8:07pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Make It Funky" by "Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de B... I don't want to be obtuse, but I'm not clear on what this song is asking me to do.
	8:08pm Listener Gregory: Snow has started in southern VT, and it will apparently turn into something sleetish, and then it will end being not much or the storm of the century, depending.
	♥ 8:08pm chresti: Gut Funky- a new probiotic?
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:07 "Make" I think is a Japanese word? Meaning like "to squish it [together]" ... the "together" I think is implied? So I think something like "Squish IT funky" -- squish Idaho funky?!?
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: ↳ chresti @8:08 Haha
	8:09pm Dean: I know when something smells funky. Is that what all this is about?
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Dean! You smelt it you dealt it!
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:09 jus' jassin 'it up!
	8:12pm Dean: (However, my apologies. I'm listening at this moment to a 7 disc set of Mozart's piano sonatas performed by Robert Levin ... on Mozart's fortepiano. I have achieved liftoff.) Long ago a friend and I wanted to establish the SBD Mime Troupe. Attendance imports assumption of the risk...
	8:12pm peter: ↳ WR @7:34 thanks WR!! yeah it should be great fun :)
	♥ 8:12pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 8:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Gut Funky" by "Midnight Madness" can only see this one 45 credited to Midnight Madness on discogs. seems to be a product of Philly producer Curtis R Staton who produced bunch of regional 45s. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:14pm ironybread: Squish Idaho in the panhandle & there'll be nothing left!
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: ↳ ironybread @8:14 See, that's why you gotta squish it funky, iBread
	8:16pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, I once heard Levin play a Mozart concerto on fortepiano. He improvised the cadenza (he made a point of telling us this). Quite an experience.
	8:18pm Dean: I can't imagine otherwise, @LG. This set is radiant.
	♥ 8:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:09 Jelly Roll Morton got there first (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say) I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say It's nasty but, funky but, take it away It's nasty but, funky but, take it away I thought I heard him say I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout Open up the window let the bad air out Open up the window let the bad air out I thought I heard him shout
	8:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:16 I still enjoy and ol' fashioned pianoforte...
	♥ 8:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary & all
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: If you called something “funky” in the first half of the 20th century, it was not a compliment. Nor did you dance to it.
	♥ 8:27pm Gary: Coelacanth!
	♥ 8:28pm ironybread: godammit why doesn't Discogs reveal who was the drummer on "Funkier than a Mosquito's Tweeter"
	♥ 8:28pm Webhamster Henry: I've been listening - can't stop the funk!
	8:29pm Dean: Nina Simone: A few days ago I delivered a poem(?) about WFMU featuring a shout-out to Ms. Simone. Every day since then she has appeared on the playlists. I suspect I'm responding to a zeitgeist. She is in the air, neither silent nor deadly.
	♥ 8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:12 Is that the set on ECM?
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:29 Her 90th birthday was yesterday!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: Henry!
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: Dean, don’t downplay your contribution. Poetry is powerful!
	8:31pm Dean: Yes, @doctorjazz. Arrived only yesterday, along with two discs of Mozart violin sonatas on Hyperion, Ibragimova & Tiberghien, and a BIS collection of Harrison Birtwistle chamber works.
	8:32pm Dean: Thanks, @LG. And now I'm tuned into BP!
	♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:31 You got your listening cut out for you!
	♥ 8:33pm coelacanth∅: (Nina's mosquito's tweeter recorded in 1973)
	♥ 8:34pm coelacanth∅: ironybread @828 drums on that by Don Alias www.ninasimone.com...
	8:35pm Dean: As do we all, @doc. I await the recent Dead MSG box, and I'm making my way through Andrew Gold's Asylum box, never mind the Fitwilliam Q. complete Shostakovich SQs, and a bunch of LPs from a store around the corner.
	8:37pm Dean: Included among the LP catches, an old Mark Murphy gig and a sealed Firesign Theatre Everything You Know Is Wrong, $1 each!
	8:44pm Listener Gregory: Mark Murphy is under-appreciated, IMHO.
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: Gary, I think I have made a musical discovery!! I wonder if the bass has something to do with making a song sound funky. This will need much research to confirm, but it’s worth looking into.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:45 Actually, i think I read somewhere it's the reed instruments
	8:48pm Dean: @LG: Sorry to deflate your hubris, but the bass has nothing to do with funk. I had the good fortune of hearing Alan Broadbent accompany Murphy in Culver City on the evening of a day when I hosted a performance by Broadbent's trio at my public library.
	8:49pm Dean: Funk is mostly about the anticipation of the arrival of piccolo.
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:49 So not reeds specifically, but wind instruments, generally
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:48 Wow! Jealousy abounds.
	♥ 8:50pm chresti: Bass is the base
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:50 Stick to your guns, Gary. Now that you have pointed it out to me, the oboe plays a key role.
	8:51pm northguineahills: Funky Butt wasn't the first song w/ funky in the title, and that was 1907(?)
	♥ 8:52pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Song of Love" by "Louis Wasson et L'Orchestre Kan... That guitar was F U N K Y
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 That's the relationship between funk and hip hop, the wind instruments. That's why they speak of a rapper/flautist's "blow"
	8:52pm Dean: I can imagine a bassoon, a saxophone, an English horn in a funk arrangement, but piccolo is insidious and mean and shrill. It will take over everything. We never hear piccolo in funk, but we fear it...
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: ↳ Gary @8:52 As in the phrase, "Sick blow, bro"
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:52 Daniel Carter: "challenge accepted".
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:52 Funk is about the unspoken, and unblown?
	♥ 8:54pm coelacanth∅: pretty sure the invention of the piccolo was inspired by the sound of a mosquito's tweeter
	♥ 8:55pm Gary: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 We have a winner
	8:56pm Listener Gregory: In 1936, someone began to play the piccolo at a Paul Whiteman concert, and the audience rose to their feet as one and began to do the Charleston. The police had to be called, and thus funk was born.
	8:56pm Dean: Holy bologna! The earliest meaning of funky, per OED, is " Having a strong or offensive smell; esp. (a) smelling of sweat or other bodily excretions; musky, pungent, rank; (b) (of food or drink) having a rich, intense, or overripe smell (or flavour); (also) rancid, mouldy. Now chiefly U.S."
	8:57pm Dean: As for the piccolo, I know no finer tribute than Robin Harris's joke about the piccolo player in church.
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 Ceola-C, you've brought it all back home, or "blown home," as they say. ("Blown Home" was also the catch phrase of IT, the alien from Idaho in that movie about kids riding bicycles in Idaho
	♥ 8:57pm adamdoesit: Hi Gary and Bodegans. What is funk? I don't know. Funk is ring round the bathtub. Funk is chitlin foo young. Or so I'm told.
	♥ 8:57pm chresti: a drum and a bassoon is all you need to get down
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: AdamDoesIt! Get on "down" here and "blown home" with us already!
	♥ 9:02pm coelacanth∅: consultation, 1933 Funkin' wagnalls comprehensive standard dictionary has no entry for "funky"; but "funk 1. to terrify; scare; fear; flinch. 2. n. cowardly; fright; panic."
	9:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:56 Right! See @doctorj's quote of the Jelly Roll Morton song.
	9:04pm Dean: Early denotations of "funk": "A spark" and "Apparently: a worthless or contemptible person or thing. not worth a funk: of little or no value, worthless." Open up the window.
	♥ 9:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I read the word has African roots meaning 'a positive sweat', no less.
	♥ 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:04 #2 there sounds like using it as a euphemism for f*ck.
	♥ 9:08pm chresti: Thanks Gary! Can't get e-knuf of the funk!
	♥ 9:10pm adamdoesit: ↳ Gary @8:59 Sounds fun, without which there is no funk.
	9:11pm Dean: @RevRab: here are the OED illustrations for that second definition: Only recorded in the writings of Robert Mannyng. ?a1400 (▸a1338) R. Mannyng Chron. (Petyt) (1996) ii. 5184 Þe kyng an oth suore he suld him venge on Steuen..& of þo fourtene monkes..be beten alle fonkes or in prison þam binde. ?a1400 (▸a1338) R. Mannyng Chron. (Petyt) (1996) ii. 4276 Now of þis olde monk & þis new kyng þat was not worth a fonk [a1450 Lamb. flonk], don has his endyng.
	♥ 9:14pm adamdoesit: Funky monks of 1400.
	♥ 9:15pm chresti: ↳ adamdoesit @9:10 Right!
	♥ 9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:11 I like to spell it with an 'O' !
	♥ 9:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:11 Maybe even it was fonk before it was f*ck in such a phrase. Who knows.
	♥ 9:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @8:50 I thought it was "Bass is the Place"...
	♥ 9:22pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:52 New Orleans Funk, some say, had it's origination not from the sweaty dances in response to Buddy Bolden's band, but from Alphonse Picou substituting clarinet for the piccolo obbligato in High Society. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:52 Didja hear the one about the bassoon, English Horn, sax and piccolo who go into a seedy bar and say, "This Place Blows!"
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:22 well, it's going to be that kind of party. I guess I should make myself at home....
	♥ 9:26pm doctorjazz: I love Jelly Roll-(my name, Doctorjazz, is from one of his songs). I'll repost the lyric in question. Jelly Roll Morton got there first (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say) I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say It's nasty butt, funky butt, take it away It's nasty butt, funky butt, take it away I thought I heard him say I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout Open up the window let the bad air out Open up the window let the bad air out I thought I heard him shout
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: A Christian, Jew, Muslim, and Piccolo walk into a bar and the bartender says, "This joke really isn't going to work out, is it."
	♥ 9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gary @9:27 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: Hello, central!
	♥ 9:29pm doctorjazz: Been Bopping while catching up on some office work, great soundtrack!
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gary @9:27 haha ... somehow it did!
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: Funkadelic has the word “funk” in its name. That can’t be a coincidence.
	9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:26 you got your name and your wfmu handle from jelly roll morton? hip parents!
	9:34pm northguineahills: I don't know, Indiana is little close for comfort from Ohio......
	♥ 9:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @9:33 My parents were lots of good things, but hip probably wouldn't be among them. They called me "Jeckie" in very thick Polish-Jewish accents...
	♥ 9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...putzing around in Search - the definition of funk meaning cowering in fear might relate to the meaning as in sulking in depression ('in a funk') - with a bit of conceptual migration...
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thing is, it means more than one thing for us now...
	9:37pm Dean: There are no fewer than ten entries for the word "funk," never mind the variations, in OED. It's a word with a legacy.
	♥ 9:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:36 Jelly opened the window, and the funk went everywhere.
	♥ 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:37 ...more than one might have funk there was...
	9:38pm Dean: The word "funkadelic" appears in 1969. Reference is to Stevie Wonder. Entry reads, "Designating music which is both funky and psychedelic. In later use: spec. characteristic of or designating a style of popular music associated with the band ‘Funkadelic’, which combines funk with elements derived from soul and psychedelic rock (such as the use of highly amplified guitars and a heavy drum beat). Also as n.: music of this type."
	9:39pm Dean: Of course, they fail to mention the piccolo.
	9:40pm Listener Gregory: The more common a word is, the more meanings it has. This (which is true) causes a lot of trouble. (The generalization applies to content words, not function words.)
	9:40pm Dean: Trouble? Naw. Better this way.
	♥ 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...funk it all, just funk everything, in other words...
	♥ 9:41pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:40 Funkshun words?
	♥ 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to mention the funkshun @ the conjunction...
	♥ 9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Grammar don't mean nothin' but yo Mamma's Mamma...
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: If you like music and I know you like music you're going to LOVE Sam Segal and his music-forward program, "If You Lose Your Horse"! Tonight's program, "When My Horse Was Eleven," begins, confusingly, not at 11:00, but in 15 minutes, at 10:00 pm. Don't miss it! wfmu.org...
	9:47pm DL in LA: Musically, it seems like there is a difference between funk and funky?
	9:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @9:41 Words like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, articles, etc. It is way too late for this. I am going to delete my earlier comment.
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Quit Jivin'" by "Pearly Queen" never sampled, never!
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: ↳ DL in LA @9:47 DL has just "blown" in from LA!
	♥ 9:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks a lot, Gary, got an unbeliveable crick in my neck from bopping to the Funk. I'm going to rest my weary bones now, thanks for funkin' it up!
	♥ 9:49pm adamdoesit: Anoint me with key oil, I require extreme funkshun. Thank you, DJ Gary.
	9:49pm Listener Gregory: The old people are leaving the ship! I too have developed a case of lumbago from being overly funky. Thanks a lot, Gary. Night, all.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:53pm Ike: Meow!
	♥ 9:54pm Gary: Ike!
	♥ 9:56pm pot8o: thanks Gary! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:56pm WR: ↳ Song: "Reggae Stuff (Funky Stuff)" by "The Chosen Few" There are so many "Chosen Few". Different times, different localities.
	9:57pm Jill B: Nighty night Gary≥. Sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite
	9:57pm northguineahills: funk is you funk is me funk is us funk is free, thanks, gary!
	9:58pm northguineahills: funky clicky star for the episode!
	9:58pm rw: Thank you Gary!!!
	♥ 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone!
	♥ 10:00pm WR: Thank you! Gary!

	♥ 8:01pm WR: Oh, yes, right, I clearly remember every recording that I liked that I've heard. Want me to start listing them for you?
	♥ 8:04pm melinda: enjoying the funky sounds
	8:05pm Jill B: Light snow this Am, more incoming later today and tonight. COLD.
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: RevRab and Multi-Channel!
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: ↳ Jill B @8:05 We had ice rain hitting the window earlier today
	♥ 8:07pm doctorjazz: I am gingerly and politely trying to approach something like funkiness here in Joisey..Kindly create a bit of funkiness of your own, like a good fellow...
	♥ 8:07pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Make It Funky" by "Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de B... I don't want to be obtuse, but I'm not clear on what this song is asking me to do.
	8:08pm Listener Gregory: Snow has started in southern VT, and it will apparently turn into something sleetish, and then it will end being not much or the storm of the century, depending.
	♥ 8:08pm chresti: Gut Funky- a new probiotic?
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:07 "Make" I think is a Japanese word? Meaning like "to squish it [together]" ... the "together" I think is implied? So I think something like "Squish IT funky" -- squish Idaho funky?!?
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: ↳ chresti @8:08 Haha
	8:09pm Dean: I know when something smells funky. Is that what all this is about?
	♥ 8:10pm Gary: Dean! You smelt it you dealt it!
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:09 jus' jassin 'it up!
	8:12pm Dean: (However, my apologies. I'm listening at this moment to a 7 disc set of Mozart's piano sonatas performed by Robert Levin ... on Mozart's fortepiano. I have achieved liftoff.) Long ago a friend and I wanted to establish the SBD Mime Troupe. Attendance imports assumption of the risk...
	8:12pm peter: ↳ WR @7:34 thanks WR!! yeah it should be great fun :)
	♥ 8:12pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 8:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Gut Funky" by "Midnight Madness" can only see this one 45 credited to Midnight Madness on discogs. seems to be a product of Philly producer Curtis R Staton who produced bunch of regional 45s. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:14pm ironybread: Squish Idaho in the panhandle & there'll be nothing left!
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: ↳ ironybread @8:14 See, that's why you gotta squish it funky, iBread
	8:16pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, I once heard Levin play a Mozart concerto on fortepiano. He improvised the cadenza (he made a point of telling us this). Quite an experience.
	8:18pm Dean: I can't imagine otherwise, @LG. This set is radiant.
	♥ 8:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:09 Jelly Roll Morton got there first (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say) I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say It's nasty but, funky but, take it away It's nasty but, funky but, take it away I thought I heard him say I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout Open up the window let the bad air out Open up the window let the bad air out I thought I heard him shout
	8:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:16 I still enjoy and ol' fashioned pianoforte...
	♥ 8:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary & all
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: If you called something “funky” in the first half of the 20th century, it was not a compliment. Nor did you dance to it.
	♥ 8:27pm Gary: Coelacanth!
	♥ 8:28pm ironybread: godammit why doesn't Discogs reveal who was the drummer on "Funkier than a Mosquito's Tweeter"
	♥ 8:28pm Webhamster Henry: I've been listening - can't stop the funk!
	8:29pm Dean: Nina Simone: A few days ago I delivered a poem(?) about WFMU featuring a shout-out to Ms. Simone. Every day since then she has appeared on the playlists. I suspect I'm responding to a zeitgeist. She is in the air, neither silent nor deadly.
	♥ 8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:12 Is that the set on ECM?
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:29 Her 90th birthday was yesterday!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: Henry!
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: Dean, don’t downplay your contribution. Poetry is powerful!
	8:31pm Dean: Yes, @doctorjazz. Arrived only yesterday, along with two discs of Mozart violin sonatas on Hyperion, Ibragimova & Tiberghien, and a BIS collection of Harrison Birtwistle chamber works.
	8:32pm Dean: Thanks, @LG. And now I'm tuned into BP!
	♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:31 You got your listening cut out for you!
	♥ 8:33pm coelacanth∅: (Nina's mosquito's tweeter recorded in 1973)
	♥ 8:34pm coelacanth∅: ironybread @828 drums on that by Don Alias www.ninasimone.com...
	8:35pm Dean: As do we all, @doc. I await the recent Dead MSG box, and I'm making my way through Andrew Gold's Asylum box, never mind the Fitwilliam Q. complete Shostakovich SQs, and a bunch of LPs from a store around the corner.
	8:37pm Dean: Included among the LP catches, an old Mark Murphy gig and a sealed Firesign Theatre Everything You Know Is Wrong, $1 each!
	8:44pm Listener Gregory: Mark Murphy is under-appreciated, IMHO.
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: Gary, I think I have made a musical discovery!! I wonder if the bass has something to do with making a song sound funky. This will need much research to confirm, but it’s worth looking into.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:45 Actually, i think I read somewhere it's the reed instruments
	8:48pm Dean: @LG: Sorry to deflate your hubris, but the bass has nothing to do with funk. I had the good fortune of hearing Alan Broadbent accompany Murphy in Culver City on the evening of a day when I hosted a performance by Broadbent's trio at my public library.
	8:49pm Dean: Funk is mostly about the anticipation of the arrival of piccolo.
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:49 So not reeds specifically, but wind instruments, generally
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:48 Wow! Jealousy abounds.
	♥ 8:50pm chresti: Bass is the base
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:50 Stick to your guns, Gary. Now that you have pointed it out to me, the oboe plays a key role.
	8:51pm northguineahills: Funky Butt wasn't the first song w/ funky in the title, and that was 1907(?)
	♥ 8:52pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Song of Love" by "Louis Wasson et L'Orchestre Kan... That guitar was F U N K Y
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 That's the relationship between funk and hip hop, the wind instruments. That's why they speak of a rapper/flautist's "blow"
	8:52pm Dean: I can imagine a bassoon, a saxophone, an English horn in a funk arrangement, but piccolo is insidious and mean and shrill. It will take over everything. We never hear piccolo in funk, but we fear it...
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: ↳ Gary @8:52 As in the phrase, "Sick blow, bro"
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:52 Daniel Carter: "challenge accepted".
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:52 Funk is about the unspoken, and unblown?
	♥ 8:54pm coelacanth∅: pretty sure the invention of the piccolo was inspired by the sound of a mosquito's tweeter
	♥ 8:55pm Gary: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 We have a winner
	8:56pm Listener Gregory: In 1936, someone began to play the piccolo at a Paul Whiteman concert, and the audience rose to their feet as one and began to do the Charleston. The police had to be called, and thus funk was born.
	8:56pm Dean: Holy bologna! The earliest meaning of funky, per OED, is " Having a strong or offensive smell; esp. (a) smelling of sweat or other bodily excretions; musky, pungent, rank; (b) (of food or drink) having a rich, intense, or overripe smell (or flavour); (also) rancid, mouldy. Now chiefly U.S."
	8:57pm Dean: As for the piccolo, I know no finer tribute than Robin Harris's joke about the piccolo player in church.
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:54 Ceola-C, you've brought it all back home, or "blown home," as they say. ("Blown Home" was also the catch phrase of IT, the alien from Idaho in that movie about kids riding bicycles in Idaho
	♥ 8:57pm adamdoesit: Hi Gary and Bodegans. What is funk? I don't know. Funk is ring round the bathtub. Funk is chitlin foo young. Or so I'm told.
	♥ 8:57pm chresti: a drum and a bassoon is all you need to get down
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: AdamDoesIt! Get on "down" here and "blown home" with us already!
	♥ 9:02pm coelacanth∅: consultation, 1933 Funkin' wagnalls comprehensive standard dictionary has no entry for "funky"; but "funk 1. to terrify; scare; fear; flinch. 2. n. cowardly; fright; panic."
	9:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:56 Right! See @doctorj's quote of the Jelly Roll Morton song.
	9:04pm Dean: Early denotations of "funk": "A spark" and "Apparently: a worthless or contemptible person or thing. not worth a funk: of little or no value, worthless." Open up the window.
	♥ 9:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I read the word has African roots meaning 'a positive sweat', no less.
	♥ 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:04 #2 there sounds like using it as a euphemism for f*ck.
	♥ 9:08pm chresti: Thanks Gary! Can't get e-knuf of the funk!
	♥ 9:10pm adamdoesit: ↳ Gary @8:59 Sounds fun, without which there is no funk.
	9:11pm Dean: @RevRab: here are the OED illustrations for that second definition: Only recorded in the writings of Robert Mannyng. ?a1400 (▸a1338) R. Mannyng Chron. (Petyt) (1996) ii. 5184 Þe kyng an oth suore he suld him venge on Steuen..& of þo fourtene monkes..be beten alle fonkes or in prison þam binde. ?a1400 (▸a1338) R. Mannyng Chron. (Petyt) (1996) ii. 4276 Now of þis olde monk & þis new kyng þat was not worth a fonk [a1450 Lamb. flonk], don has his endyng.
	♥ 9:14pm adamdoesit: Funky monks of 1400.
	♥ 9:15pm chresti: ↳ adamdoesit @9:10 Right!
	♥ 9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:11 I like to spell it with an 'O' !
	♥ 9:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:11 Maybe even it was fonk before it was f*ck in such a phrase. Who knows.
	♥ 9:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @8:50 I thought it was "Bass is the Place"...
	♥ 9:22pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:52 New Orleans Funk, some say, had it's origination not from the sweaty dances in response to Buddy Bolden's band, but from Alphonse Picou substituting clarinet for the piccolo obbligato in High Society. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:52 Didja hear the one about the bassoon, English Horn, sax and piccolo who go into a seedy bar and say, "This Place Blows!"
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:22 well, it's going to be that kind of party. I guess I should make myself at home....
	♥ 9:26pm doctorjazz: I love Jelly Roll-(my name, Doctorjazz, is from one of his songs). I'll repost the lyric in question. Jelly Roll Morton got there first (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say) I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say It's nasty butt, funky butt, take it away It's nasty butt, funky butt, take it away I thought I heard him say I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout Open up the window let the bad air out Open up the window let the bad air out I thought I heard him shout
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: A Christian, Jew, Muslim, and Piccolo walk into a bar and the bartender says, "This joke really isn't going to work out, is it."
	♥ 9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gary @9:27 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: Hello, central!
	♥ 9:29pm doctorjazz: Been Bopping while catching up on some office work, great soundtrack!
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gary @9:27 haha ... somehow it did!
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: Funkadelic has the word “funk” in its name. That can’t be a coincidence.
	9:33pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:26 you got your name and your wfmu handle from jelly roll morton? hip parents!
	9:34pm northguineahills: I don't know, Indiana is little close for comfort from Ohio......
	♥ 9:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @9:33 My parents were lots of good things, but hip probably wouldn't be among them. They called me "Jeckie" in very thick Polish-Jewish accents...
	♥ 9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...putzing around in Search - the definition of funk meaning cowering in fear might relate to the meaning as in sulking in depression ('in a funk') - with a bit of conceptual migration...
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thing is, it means more than one thing for us now...
	9:37pm Dean: There are no fewer than ten entries for the word "funk," never mind the variations, in OED. It's a word with a legacy.
	♥ 9:37pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:36 Jelly opened the window, and the funk went everywhere.
	♥ 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @9:37 ...more than one might have funk there was...
	9:38pm Dean: The word "funkadelic" appears in 1969. Reference is to Stevie Wonder. Entry reads, "Designating music which is both funky and psychedelic. In later use: spec. characteristic of or designating a style of popular music associated with the band ‘Funkadelic’, which combines funk with elements derived from soul and psychedelic rock (such as the use of highly amplified guitars and a heavy drum beat). Also as n.: music of this type."
	9:39pm Dean: Of course, they fail to mention the piccolo.
	9:40pm Listener Gregory: The more common a word is, the more meanings it has. This (which is true) causes a lot of trouble. (The generalization applies to content words, not function words.)
	9:40pm Dean: Trouble? Naw. Better this way.
	♥ 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...funk it all, just funk everything, in other words...
	♥ 9:41pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:40 Funkshun words?
	♥ 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to mention the funkshun @ the conjunction...
	♥ 9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Grammar don't mean nothin' but yo Mamma's Mamma...
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: If you like music and I know you like music you're going to LOVE Sam Segal and his music-forward program, "If You Lose Your Horse"! Tonight's program, "When My Horse Was Eleven," begins, confusingly, not at 11:00, but in 15 minutes, at 10:00 pm. Don't miss it! wfmu.org...
	9:47pm DL in LA: Musically, it seems like there is a difference between funk and funky?
	9:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @9:41 Words like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, articles, etc. It is way too late for this. I am going to delete my earlier comment.
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Quit Jivin'" by "Pearly Queen" never sampled, never!
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: ↳ DL in LA @9:47 DL has just "blown" in from LA!
	♥ 9:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks a lot, Gary, got an unbeliveable crick in my neck from bopping to the Funk. I'm going to rest my weary bones now, thanks for funkin' it up!
	♥ 9:49pm adamdoesit: Anoint me with key oil, I require extreme funkshun. Thank you, DJ Gary.
	9:49pm Listener Gregory: The old people are leaving the ship! I too have developed a case of lumbago from being overly funky. Thanks a lot, Gary. Night, all.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:53pm Ike: Meow!
	♥ 9:54pm Gary: Ike!
	♥ 9:56pm pot8o: thanks Gary! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:56pm WR: ↳ Song: "Reggae Stuff (Funky Stuff)" by "The Chosen Few" There are so many "Chosen Few". Different times, different localities.
	9:57pm Jill B: Nighty night Gary≥. Sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite
