	🥁 3:02pm Yvang: Hi Larry!
	🥁 3:02pm Mxter Baba: 1968… when the psychedelic gleams in my parents eyes brought me into this weird reality!
	🥁 3:03pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Just a little left over from last week?
	3:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Urge For Going" by "Johnstons" Nice Version (I love the Tom Rush version, Joni Mitchell tune, of course). Hi Larry!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:03 Hey Brian! I suppose, I just love this 45
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:03 Hey Doc! The first version I ever heard was Tom Rush

	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:04 Hi Erica! How was your birthday?
	🥁 3:05pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:03 Best reason to play it.
	3:06pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 Peaceful honesty.
	3:06pm DJ Peter: Hola! You have a witness!
	3:06pm Erica: ↳ Erica @3:06 Honestly
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @3:06 Hi DJ Peter!
	3:07pm Joeg: Play the Ellen McIlwaine version sometime. She did a great version!
	3:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Can't Find My Way Home" by "Yvonne Elliman" Was elliman touring with Clapton at this point? Later?
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Joeg @3:07 Hey Joeg! I'm almost positive I have in the past. I love her stuff.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @3:08 I don't think so. This butts up against her time in Jesus Christ Superstar. That 45 is produced by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber
	3:09pm Joeg: Love your show!
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Joeg @3:09 Thank you!
	3:10pm Sem: Hey, Larry, and testifiers! Think I'll sit in this pew over here, next to the snacks.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:10 Hey Sem!
	3:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:10 Howdy Sem!
	3:14pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:13 Well, AiT, good to see you here.
	🥁 3:17pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:10 We are getting battered over here again. So is Europe. I thought after Brexit we would take back control but the weather is unaware of this.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: It's suddenly cold here in NJ. Below freezing this morning,
	3:20pm Erica: October didn't drag as much this year compared to last year. Still it felt kinda long to me.
	3:25pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:17 Brian, I can commiserate, but I have to chuckle at the Brexit remark.
	3:27pm Stanley: ↳ Brian in UK @3:17 Hi Brian. The weather is obviously a sore losing remoaner
	3:27pm Sem: Larry, didn't own a Marianne Faithful record until Broken English. Her 60s stuff got short shrift on the 1 radio station town I grew up in.
	🥁 3:28pm Mollywog: Reminds me of skating at the local rink as a teen, Mary Ann and the Turnabouts played there on a regular basis.
	3:28pm Sem: Stanley-ji, no weather troubles in cottage country, I guess?
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:27 Her version of As Time Goes By was in rotation on oldies radio when I was a kid, then I remember Broken English during the punk/new wave years. I only dug deeper in the last few years
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:28 Hey Mollywog! You mean Merilee Rush?
	3:30pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @3:27 Actually got the meet her once.
	🥁 3:30pm Mollywog: I love her, used to have one of her albums.
	3:30pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:30 Dish, please. Great envy. Michael.
	3:31pm Stanley: ↳ Sem @3:28 Hi Sem sahib. Battered by wind and rain all day. Yesterday the journey back from Northumberland was dicy until we made the A1. There were times I thought the poor car wouldn't make it through the floodwater.
	🥁 3:31pm Mollywog: Wow Michael, coolness!
	🥁 3:32pm Mollywog: Dur, getting old obviously! Yes, Merilee Rush it was, but May Ann played at Harper's Ballroom and the Aquarius.
	3:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sally Free and Easy" by "Carolyn Hester" She's got a Buffy St. Marie tight/fast vibrato (makes me crazy, have to say).
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Stanley @3:31 Hello, Stanley!
	3:33pm Sem: ↳ Stanley @3:31 I can identify w/ that. Nova Scotia had this summer twice our usual rainfall. Never had such great results in the garden, but getting about and outdoor activities took a major hit.
	3:33pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @3:30 She actually mingled with the audience here at a show in Seattle
	3:34pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:33 And how was the performance?
	3:34pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:33 very genuine
	3:35pm Michael 98145: ↳ Sem @3:34 stunningly moving
	🥁 3:35pm Mxter Baba: this set is so dreamy and beautiful!
	3:36pm Stanley: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 Hi there Larry. I'm enjoying the show.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:33 It was the era of Joan Baez and Glenn Yarbrough...
	🥁 3:36pm Mollywog: She's fantastic live
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @3:35 I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	3:36pm Sem: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:35 After her post-60s life and all she endured subsequently, a real artist...
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Stanley @3:36 Thanks!
	🥁 3:38pm Mollywog: Parker's Ballroom, not Harpers. I better just sit and listen quietly, I'm not getting things quite right today! lol
	3:42pm Michael 98145: ↳ Mollywog @3:38 RIP, Parker's. Think Muddy Waters was the last show i saw there ...
	🥁 3:43pm Mollywog: I saw Tower of Power there too. Good venue.
	3:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Buy For Me The Rain" by "Steve Noonan" Know this from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, if I remember correctly. Is this the original?
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 This is the guy who wrote the song, but I think NGDB recorded it first.
	3:50pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 Randy Newman wrote it. It appears on Julius La Rosa's 1966 album You're Gonna Hear from Me, Eric Burdon's 1967 album Eric Is Here, on Newman's 1968 debut album Randy Newman, in The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1, via wikithingy
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:50 I think Doc was talking about Buy For Me The Rain
	3:51pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Guess I'm not paying as close attention as I imagine. Thx, Larry.
	3:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sem @3:50 Was just going to ask if you got the wrong song (I did know I Think It's Gonna Rain Today was by Randy Newman, but didn't know the rest of the song's history, so thanks for the quick education anyway!)
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:51 All of your info about I Think It's Gonna Rain Today was correct, though, I've often wondered what the Julius La Rosa version sounded like.
	3:58pm Stanley: Brewer and Shipley sound like they could make a good pint.
	3:58pm Michael 98145: Yay, Goal !
	3:58pm Erica: Thanks to those who donated.
	🥁 4:01pm Brian in UK: ↳ Stanley @3:58 Call it 'One Toke'.
	4:04pm Stanley: ↳ Brian in UK @4:01 A pint of One Toke, please barman. On the other hand make that a half.
	4:05pm StringOFperils: What a voice! Mama Cass. Pure.....hi, Larry!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:05 Hi String! This song was written by her sister, Leah.
	4:07pm Michael 98145: Enjoying the selections today ...
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:07 Thanks, Michael!
	4:08pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Nice! Did not know she had one....a better family than the band I hope. That got scary.
	🥁 4:08pm WR: Found this regarding Steve Noonan. www.hemifran.com... The link they have for Steve Noonan's own website is dead. Haven't yet found the recent "follow up album" mentioned.
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:08 Leah was married to Russ Kunkel, the studio drummer. I believe they raised Cass's daughter.
	4:17pm Fred R: Thursday greetings all! Great stuff today Larry
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:17 Hey Fred! Thanks!
	4:18pm Erica: Hi Fred.
	4:19pm Fred R: Hi Erica
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: I'd known of Larry Norman for years, but never heard his music until this song popped up on the soundtrack to Reservation Dogs.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: He started out in the band People (who had a hit covering the Zombies 'I Love You') but after that he was pretty much the father of Christian rock
	4:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" by "Larry Norman" Reminds me of Paul Williams
	4:28pm StringOFperils: Oh, I remember People. Might have seen them on Midnight Special or some show, once upon a lifetime ago
	4:28pm wenzo: Been lurking for a bit… enjoying da show
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @4:28 Hey wenzo, thanks!
	4:46pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry, and fellow Testifiers! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground's Hellraiser After Party! Coming up NEXT! wfmu.org...
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Hiya Kip!
	4:52pm Sem: This has been a wonderful service. There's a little something extra in the collection plate this week. Thank you, Larry.
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great episode! Thanks, Larry!
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:52 Thank you, Sem. Go in peace...
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:52 Thanks, Andrew!
	4:56pm Erica: This has been a folky show. Thanks Larry!

	4:56pm Stanley: Thanks Larry
	4:56pm wenzo: I dig that show too
