	♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @3:25 Hey Fred!
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Hot Pants" by "Alan Hawkshaw/Alan Parker" This is the track from the C-Net ad I was talking about in the intro
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Studio 69/Dave Allen at Large" by "Alan Hawkshaw" Anyone remember the Dave Allen show, syndicated here in the 70s?
	3:31pm Erica: Carnaby Street Pop Orchestra and Choir, aka Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:31 Yes, indeed
	3:32pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Picadilly Night Ride" by "Carnaby Street Pop Orch... This sounds like some TV show theme I used to see the show all the time. Loved it, but cant remember what it was. Some space show I think.
	3:33pm WLSClark: Lost my internet during that song. :(
	♥ 3:33pm WR: ↳ Song: "Studio 69/Dave Allen at Large" by "Alan Hawkshaw" Hello Larry and folks, was on work call the last couple of hours with stream in the background. Call just ended and looking to see what was playing and didn't expect the funky organ led jazz combo to be from a music library release.
	♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:32 Hi Clark! It could very well be, these tunes were heavily used in UK TV
	3:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:33 I think I still have some of them taped on BETA but I sure cant remember what the shows were. Documentary series, I think. Always loved that music tho.
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Tricycle" by "Brian Bennett" This is from the first solo album by Brian Bennett, the drummer for The Shadows
	3:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Picadilly Night Ride" by "Carnaby Street Pop Orch... For what it's worth, I remember now. It was hour long documentaries of each year of 60s I think back in 80s that used the song at ending credits.
	♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:48 PBS or somewhere else?
	♥ 3:48pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry and fellow Testifiers!
	♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:48 Hey Kip!
	3:49pm Erica: Hey Kip you're an hour early.
	♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:48 Will you be playing some of those heavy finds this week, Kip?
	3:51pm Erica: British library music (esp. from the 60s and 70s) is the best, as it's high quality. German library is good too.
	3:51pm Erica: I really love synthesizer library music from the 80s as it took influence from new wave during that time.
	♥ 3:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Erica @3:49 Yep! Hanging out at my place in Florida, just relaxing and diggin' Larry's groovy show today!
	3:55pm Erica: Next week is also my birthday so I will be able to celebrate it here.
	♥ 3:56pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Erica @3:55 Happy early Birthday!
	3:56pm Erica: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:56 Thanks Kip.
	3:58pm Erica: I didn't know Brian Bennett was a member of Cliff Richard & the Shadows.
	3:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:55 YAY! Halloween baby! :)
	3:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @3:48 Not sure. back then could be PBS or even Showtime or HBO? maybe even TBS?
	♥ 3:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ WLSClark @3:58 Or Diwali Baby ...
	♥ 4:01pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Song: "Funky Fanfare" by "Beck" Ah yes, the music that played over the "Coming Attractions" intro film at every movie theater everywhere in the 70's!
	4:01pm WLSClark: IS "Library Music" a real genre? I dont like all the labels people put on music of the past, actually. "Bachelor pad music," "Northern Soul," etc. It's like calling the "wrecking Crew" by that name. NEVER was that when they were studio musicians at that time. Oh well. Im old.....
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 It absolutely is an accurate name of the source of the music. Not a post-hoc appelation.
	4:02pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Funky Fanfare" by "KPM Library" It's actually from Beat Incidental. This song was used in a redrawn/colorized version of a Mutt & Jeff cartoon.
	4:03pm Erica: Called Egyptian Daze.
	4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 Interesting. Never knew that! Never even heard the term!
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: Library, or stock or production all fit
	4:03pm Erica: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:02 Different version which you will hear in a minute
	4:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:03 Thanks Erica. Will check this out later.
	♥ 4:05pm Discotech Underground: At one of the last stations I worked for, I grabbed the original first edition of the Capitol Production Music library. It must have been from the late 50's or early 60's. I'm glad I did because there is some really fun stuff on that library.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:05 Many of the people I know with significant stashes of library stuff got them from radio stations
	4:07pm WLSClark: I have a stack of radio station background music LPs that might fit this category. I think they were for backing local radio ads, not national. 60s or 70s music.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: Digging this set!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:07 Thanks!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 I've heard local recordings that fit the bill
	4:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Soul Thing" by "Keith Mansfield Orchestra" Did this used to play in movie theaters before the features started?
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:09 Hey David! It did, indeed. Tarantino resurrected it for a couple of his movies.
	♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: Don't know why I know this tune, but it's there in the back of my mind, cool tune!
	4:11pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:09 Discotech Underground answered my question at 4:01. I need to keep up.
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 It may be the best known library tune ever. Used so many times.
	🥁 ♥ 4:11pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and the funky library visitors!
	4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ dutchtheo @4:11 Awesome avatar!
	♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:11 Hey Theo!
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm dutchtheo: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 Yes that's a funky Picasso
	♥ 4:15pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 That's where they are/were most often found. They were used for commercials.
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:15 Commercials, TV themes and the NFL (You'll hear an old Monday Night Football theme in the next set).
	4:16pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Funky Fanfare (Large band)" by "KPM Library" This is the best version in my opinion. Was used in "Our Feature Presentation".
	4:16pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:15 Bob's band?
	♥ 4:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:16 Yes
	4:17pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:16 Love it! I have the DJ 45.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Queen Street Gang" by "Arzachel" The band Arzachel heard the KPM version of Funky Fanfare used as the theme for a kids show called Queen Street Gang, which is why it has this title
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Soul Thing" by "Paul Raven" Early Gary Glitter recording
	4:25pm WLSClark: Gotta sneak out. Great knowledgeable half hour! Thanks, larry. Happy Birthday, Erica! Lay em down, KIP!
	♥ 4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:25 Bye Clark!
	4:26pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "House of Jack" by "The Establishment" Lead vocals: Larry Meredith. Can't find much...
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:26 I'm pretty sure they were a US studio group, maybe in the style of the Mike Curb Congregation
	4:34pm PAULS: Grindhouse
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:34 Thank you Pauls!
	4:36pm PAULS: Somebody get John Facenda on the horn!
	♥ 4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:36 The voice of the NFL?
	4:37pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 Yes -- NFL Films V/O guy... RIP many decades ago
	4:47pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "Green Onions" by "New London Rhythm and Blues Band" Interesting arrangement, terrific horns!
	♥ 4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:47 Yeah, I love that album, I wish someone would reissue it so it could be better known.
	♥ 4:50pm doctorjazz: Great show, Larry, the most organ since Arnold Palmer's heyday!
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:50 Oh my!
	♥ 4:51pm Discotech Underground: Stay tuned for a special Discotech Underground "Girl Power" special, NEXT! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:52pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry for the visit to the library!
	4:53pm Erica: ↳ Yvang @4:52 The funky library.
	4:53pm PAULS: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Is there a credit for the guitarist on there? the work on "Soul Stream" is amazing
	4:54pm Erica: It's been years since Larry has done a Halloween show for Testify, not since this show was on Wednesday nights.
	♥ 4:54pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	4:55pm Erica: Awesome show Larry! Thanks
	♥ 4:55pm WR: Thank you! Larry!
	4:55pm PAULS: thanks great show!
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:53 No, and I really wish there was,
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:54 Has it been that long?!?

	4:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 Interesting. Never knew that! Never even heard the term!
	♥ 4:03pm Funky16Corners: Library, or stock or production all fit
	4:03pm Erica: www.youtube.com...

	♥ 4:05pm Discotech Underground: At one of the last stations I worked for, I grabbed the original first edition of the Capitol Production Music library. It must have been from the late 50's or early 60's. I'm glad I did because there is some really fun stuff on that library.
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:05 Many of the people I know with significant stashes of library stuff got them from radio stations
	4:07pm WLSClark: I have a stack of radio station background music LPs that might fit this category. I think they were for backing local radio ads, not national. 60s or 70s music.
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: Digging this set!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:07 Thanks!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 I've heard local recordings that fit the bill
	4:09pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Soul Thing" by "Keith Mansfield Orchestra" Did this used to play in movie theaters before the features started?
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:09 Hey David! It did, indeed. Tarantino resurrected it for a couple of his movies.
	♥ 4:10pm doctorjazz: Don't know why I know this tune, but it's there in the back of my mind, cool tune!
	4:11pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:09 Discotech Underground answered my question at 4:01. I need to keep up.
	♥ 4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 It may be the best known library tune ever. Used so many times.

	4:34pm PAULS: Grindhouse
	♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ PAULS @4:34 Thank you Pauls!
