	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:04 Hey Brian!
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hi Clark!
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "You Keep Me Hanging On" by "Vanilla Fudge" How SLOW can you go? (I remember when this came out, really liked it, all the local bands were playing it like Vanilla Fudge)
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hey Doc!
	🥁 3:07pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 They made it work.
	3:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:07 Sometimes, maybe, they overdid it a wee bit... (exhibit 1: Season of the Witch)
	3:11pm bradford: Hi Larry & fellow Testifiers!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:10 Oh yeah, this one in particular has ludicrous all over its face.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:11 Hey bradford!
	3:13pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:11 Loving the ludicrous, we all need a little ludicrousness in our lives. Hello DJ Larry, and all here to testify.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: I can def picture some ex-greaser in a Staten Island basement having his first bad trip to this.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:13 Hi love2laf!
	3:13pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Seasonof the Witch" by "Vanilla Fudge" This version is more haunting than Donovan's.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:13 Yeah, they really lean into the spooky stuff
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my favorite songs, and this is def one of my fave versions. They were made to play this.
	3:18pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @3:13 after that speed, we go plaid!
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: I just checked, that first charting of You Keep Me Hanging On was a (mostly) regional, Northeast thing.
	3:24pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:18 Absolutely, we've gone to plaid, and with Syd I think we're going to be plaid for a while now.
	3:25pm StringOFperils: Ahhh, thee mighty Syd...hi, Larry!
	🥁 3:25pm WLSClark: Larry, the Take me for A little while 45 was actually B side of first 67 Keep me hangin on 45. Then when it caught fire in 68, they took Awhile off B side and issued it as an A side as followup. The weird thing is Atco also made a promo EP with Hangin on as 1 of 4 songs and the othewr 3 were BEATLES covers.
	🥁 3:25pm Mollywog: I keep forgetting how many really good covers Vanilla Fudge did. One of my faves back in the day
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Arnold Layne" by "Pink Floyd" Nice to hear these Floyd 45s without all the echo added to so many LP and CD versions.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:25 Hi String!
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 Thanks Clark! I didn't know about that flipside business, or the EP
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:25 Hey Mollywog!
	🥁 3:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:26 I have the EP--very odd piece. One long song VFudge did had this long history stuff in it like Kennedy speech etc. Cant remember what title was, but WKYC Cleveland played the whole thing on air in 68.
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:28 That's the 'The Beat Goes On' LP. I actually played oneof the sides all the way through once here in the show
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: This brilliant 45 was never released until a CD reissue in the 80s. It boggles the mind.
	3:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Magic In the Air" by "The Attack" doon't know this. I love it!
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:33 All three of the things I'll play by them today were initially unissued. They had 4 45s for Decca that are all great, but this stuff is just as good.
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:29 It really is a pretty cool history piece that I would like to know how/if they did it live in concert then.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:37 I doubt that even the most stoned audience would have put up with nonsense like that, but who knows...
	🥁 3:39pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 The joys of being on a large label with a big stable.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:39 There's a coffee table book to be written about some of the insane albums/album packages the major labels allowed to be released on their dime from say 1968-1974
	🥁 3:43pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Expo 2000" by "Chocolate Watchband" My alltime fave Watchband song!
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:43 Excellent!
	🥁 3:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 Certainly would have had to have someone with tape deck behind the curtains.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 Yiu could do it today as a multimedia piece at that giant orb in Las Vegas
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: Donovan's 'Gift from a Flower to a Garden' was the first big release that I remember. Not saying that it is insane but albums were still in their teenage years & anything goes.
	3:47pm Erica: Before there was Dark Side of the Moon there was Dark Side of the Mushroom.
	3:48pm StringOFperils: MAD Magazine was issuing Dave Berg's Lighter Side of the Mushroom at around the same time..........what, me serious?
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:48 I would have paid to see the results of the staff of MAD going on an acid trip
	3:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:50 Sounds like a great movie
	🥁 3:52pm Yvang: This set makes me feel dizzy, Larry!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:52 As it should!
	3:56pm love2laf: Does anyone else feel their hippie bangs in there eyes, and feeling weighed down by their denim jacket festooned with band pins, and with a feathered earring / roach clip tickling their neck? Just me?
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:56 SHHHHHHH...I'm watching my incense burn...very slowwwwwwly.
	3:58pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" There is always some aura of the Grateful Dead that looms over many Mighty Baby tracks... The Grateful Dead if, say, Bob Weir was an English gent.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:58 Hey Mike! I was just thinking of Mr Luther - who turned me on to Mighty Baby - describing them as a British Grateful Dead. I'm not sure the comparison holds up for long, but it's a gateway in to their music.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" Think that Martin Stone went on to form Chilli Willy with Phil Lithman. Good live band.
	4:00pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Ha! I think it's the way some of the vocals meld on some of the tracks.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 And Alan King on to Ace! Pub rock roots!
	🥁 4:01pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 So true! Sorry, getting ready to leave. Great music as always, Larry!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Thanks Clark!
	4:02pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" Mighty Baby and Steve Lawrence shoulda covered each other, in a tip of the ol' blueprints.
	4:02pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Same Way To the Sun" by "Mighty Baby" Well, in coincidence land, the sun came out, hope this is a long song, and it melts some of the damn snow.
	4:02pm still b/p: www.youtube.com...
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:02 Snow?!? Where are you listening?
	4:04pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Northern Ontario, Canada, right up against the west side of Algonquin Park. Got about an inch and a half of snow last night, and I should be grateful it wasn't freezing rain, but I'm a crank.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:04 Ah, OK, that makes sense. It was 71 here in NJ today.
	4:05pm still b/p: Today's Maine snow accumulated just a bit to linger on surfaces here and there and windshield of the parked little truck.
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:04 It's always snowing in Canada so I hear.
	4:06pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:06 Yes, yes, it does, every day ;)
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: All of the prognosticators are suggesting we're in for a snowy winter here
	🥁 4:13pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "25 O'Clock" by "Dukes of Stratosphear" DUKES!!!!!!
	🥁 4:14pm Mollywog: Someone's big brother had this, I'd forgotten all about it, it's been so many years since I've heard this!
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:13 Hey Baba!
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:14 Bought it when it came out. VERY big record with our set.
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ Song: "What In the World" by "Dukes of Stratosphear" The Dukes really nailed the 60s inspired sound.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:21 They had both the songwriting/performing talent and the technical wherewithal to create records as good as the originals
	🥁 4:27pm Yvang: XTC were already the 80's' Beatles.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:27 Not a bad comparison
	🥁 4:27pm Yvang: Not as much in term of fame.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:27 But musically innovative
	4:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" Great to hear this! It has been a while. Too long.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:33 I might have to slap on some Moody Blues tonight.
	🥁 4:34pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" Was thinking of this album earlier. Good songs & production. A little timepiece.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: I remember the point when I was a kid and I discovered how different the Moody Blues' albums were than the singles. That they had all this "connective tissue' between songs. Great to listen to.
	4:37pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" this is way better than I remembered it being!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: I did a Moody Blues show back in 2020: wfmu.org...
	4:39pm StringOFperils: The Moody Blues kind of invented prog. I think I like them better now even
	4:41pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "The Best Way To Travel" by "Moody Blues" "Days of Future Passed" gets more notoriety, but I think I always liked this LP a bit more because it's "purer" Moody Blues in the main. Plus, if I ever had an English butler, I always wanted him to look like Ray Thomas.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 They were much more song-focused than most of the prog bands. If only their model had become the standard
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ Mike Sin @4:41 It would be a Welsh butler then!!
	🥁 4:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Never thought of them as prog for that very reason.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:43 No noodling.
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:43 You read my mind.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip at 5PM! wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:45pm Mollywog: Oh wow, I was thinking about Moby Grape while the Vanilla Fudge was playing.
	4:45pm StringOFperils: Not a lot of bands come along that can write and play (live!) semi-symphonic pieces of their own making...all that Ray Thomas flute writing, it's like Camille Saint-Saens or something....Elgar....it's fucking amazing...like nothing else on the radio...Tuesday Afternoon was one of the highlights of my childhood
	4:48pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Been diggin' the show today! Stay tuned for ME and Discotech Underground coming up NEXT right here on the Drummer stream! wfmu.org...
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 They had a live concert special on PBS a few years ago and they were fantastic. I was surprised by what a hot guitarist Justin Hayward was.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:48 Thanks, Kip!
	4:50pm love2laf: This afternoon's sounds suited my mood perfectly, thank you DJ Larry, much appreciated. Cheers all for a great first time listen to Testify.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:50 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great episode! Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: Think I owned Wow once; was it a double with one track that played at 78rpm.
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:52 Thanks Andrew!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:52 Wasn't it packaged with Grape Jam?
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:53 Yes, think so. Cannot remember playing it!!
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry, that went by in a blink.
	4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm bradford: Thanks Larry, I needed that!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry for the 2 hour psychedelic trip.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	4:58pm C in Thailand: Thank you, Larry! Great set!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ C in Thailand @4:58 Thanks C!
	🥁 4:58pm Mollywog: hanks for a great show!
	🥁 4:58pm Yvang: This was a trip of a show! Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:58 Thanks Yvang!

	🥁 3:52pm Yvang: This set makes me feel dizzy, Larry!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:52 As it should!
	3:56pm love2laf: Does anyone else feel their hippie bangs in there eyes, and feeling weighed down by their denim jacket festooned with band pins, and with a feathered earring / roach clip tickling their neck? Just me?
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:56 SHHHHHHH...I'm watching my incense burn...very slowwwwwwly.
	3:58pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" There is always some aura of the Grateful Dead that looms over many Mighty Baby tracks... The Grateful Dead if, say, Bob Weir was an English gent.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:58 Hey Mike! I was just thinking of Mr Luther - who turned me on to Mighty Baby - describing them as a British Grateful Dead. I'm not sure the comparison holds up for long, but it's a gateway in to their music.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" Think that Martin Stone went on to form Chilli Willy with Phil Lithman. Good live band.
	4:00pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Ha! I think it's the way some of the vocals meld on some of the tracks.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 And Alan King on to Ace! Pub rock roots!
	🥁 4:01pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 So true! Sorry, getting ready to leave. Great music as always, Larry!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Thanks Clark!
	4:02pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "House Without Windows" by "Mighty Baby" Mighty Baby and Steve Lawrence shoulda covered each other, in a tip of the ol' blueprints.
	4:02pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Same Way To the Sun" by "Mighty Baby" Well, in coincidence land, the sun came out, hope this is a long song, and it melts some of the damn snow.
	4:02pm still b/p: www.youtube.com...
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:02 Snow?!? Where are you listening?
	4:04pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Northern Ontario, Canada, right up against the west side of Algonquin Park. Got about an inch and a half of snow last night, and I should be grateful it wasn't freezing rain, but I'm a crank.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:04 Ah, OK, that makes sense. It was 71 here in NJ today.
	4:05pm still b/p: Today's Maine snow accumulated just a bit to linger on surfaces here and there and windshield of the parked little truck.
	4:06pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:04 It's always snowing in Canada so I hear.
	4:06pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:06 Yes, yes, it does, every day ;)
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: All of the prognosticators are suggesting we're in for a snowy winter here
	🥁 4:13pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "25 O'Clock" by "Dukes of Stratosphear" DUKES!!!!!!
	🥁 4:14pm Mollywog: Someone's big brother had this, I'd forgotten all about it, it's been so many years since I've heard this!
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:13 Hey Baba!
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:14 Bought it when it came out. VERY big record with our set.
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ Song: "What In the World" by "Dukes of Stratosphear" The Dukes really nailed the 60s inspired sound.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:21 They had both the songwriting/performing talent and the technical wherewithal to create records as good as the originals
	🥁 4:27pm Yvang: XTC were already the 80's' Beatles.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:27 Not a bad comparison
	🥁 4:27pm Yvang: Not as much in term of fame.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:27 But musically innovative
	4:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" Great to hear this! It has been a while. Too long.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:33 I might have to slap on some Moody Blues tonight.
	🥁 4:34pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" Was thinking of this album earlier. Good songs & production. A little timepiece.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: I remember the point when I was a kid and I discovered how different the Moody Blues' albums were than the singles. That they had all this "connective tissue' between songs. Great to listen to.
	4:37pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Legend Of a Mind" by "Moody Blues" this is way better than I remembered it being!
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: I did a Moody Blues show back in 2020: wfmu.org...
	4:39pm StringOFperils: The Moody Blues kind of invented prog. I think I like them better now even
	4:41pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "The Best Way To Travel" by "Moody Blues" "Days of Future Passed" gets more notoriety, but I think I always liked this LP a bit more because it's "purer" Moody Blues in the main. Plus, if I ever had an English butler, I always wanted him to look like Ray Thomas.
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:39 They were much more song-focused than most of the prog bands. If only their model had become the standard
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: ↳ Mike Sin @4:41 It would be a Welsh butler then!!
	🥁 4:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:41 Never thought of them as prog for that very reason.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:43 No noodling.
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:43 You read my mind.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip at 5PM! wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:45pm Mollywog: Oh wow, I was thinking about Moby Grape while the Vanilla Fudge was playing.
	4:45pm StringOFperils: Not a lot of bands come along that can write and play (live!) semi-symphonic pieces of their own making...all that Ray Thomas flute writing, it's like Camille Saint-Saens or something....Elgar....it's fucking amazing...like nothing else on the radio...Tuesday Afternoon was one of the highlights of my childhood
	4:48pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Been diggin' the show today! Stay tuned for ME and Discotech Underground coming up NEXT right here on the Drummer stream! wfmu.org...
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 They had a live concert special on PBS a few years ago and they were fantastic. I was surprised by what a hot guitarist Justin Hayward was.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:48 Thanks, Kip!
	4:50pm love2laf: This afternoon's sounds suited my mood perfectly, thank you DJ Larry, much appreciated. Cheers all for a great first time listen to Testify.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:50 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great episode! Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: Think I owned Wow once; was it a double with one track that played at 78rpm.
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:52 Thanks Andrew!
	4:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:52 Wasn't it packaged with Grape Jam?
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:53 Yes, think so. Cannot remember playing it!!
	🥁 4:54pm Brian in UK: Thanks Larry, that went by in a blink.
	4:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm bradford: Thanks Larry, I needed that!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry for the 2 hour psychedelic trip.

	🥁 4:58pm Mollywog: hanks for a great show!
	🥁 4:58pm Yvang: This was a trip of a show! Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:58 Thanks Yvang!
