	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:04 They inducted the surviving original members of the Dead. It wasn't great, but I think it was a combination of the bougie attitude of the honors and editing for TV

	3:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:09 Hi WR!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:09 I too suffer in this weather. I'm old and my arthur-itis acts up in the cold. I have a nice fleece blanket to huddle under when it gets drafty.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: Though down here in my basement studio I have my space heater to keep me toasty and loose while I'm on the air.
	🥁 3:15pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Cold Cold Cold" by "Dr John" Ah! The good doctor is in!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:15 Always good for what ails ye!
	3:21pm Erica: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:09 Hey Jeff.
	3:23pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:09 ... and what was she wearing?!?
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:23 Some crazy-ass Holly Hobbie/Little House On the Prairie dress.
	🥁 3:34pm Mollywog: ↳ Song: "Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind" by "Ken Snakehips Joh... Nice!
	3:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind" by "Ken Snakehips Joh... Always think of this Richard Thompson tune Well I can see me now, I'm back there on the dance floor Oh with a blonde on me arm, red-head to spare Spit on my shoes and shine in me hair And there's Al Bowlly, he's up on a stand Oh that was a voice and that was a band Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @3:34 Al Bowlly was an interesting guy.Born in Mozambique, raised in South Africa, became a big star in the UK and passed away during WW2
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:35 That was the first place I heard his name, too!
	3:38pm Michael 98145: fun show today
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:38 Thanks Michael!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Five years ago I did a whole show devoted to the Neon Philharmonic: wfmu.org...
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Snow" by "Claudine Longet" This is a Randy Newman composition
	3:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:35 Don`t forget Beeswing!
	3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:41 How could I? That's a great one in concert!
	3:45pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Shuggie Otis, son of Johnny Otis.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 Yes, indeed!
	3:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:41 It was also his autobiography title (I have it, but got bored, didn't finish it. Would rather listen to him than read it).
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I enjoyed the book. It was great to hear first-hand accounts of people like Sandy Denny and Nick Drake.
	3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 He has a very dry sense of humor.
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:49 Getting harder to engage in my old age, I suppose...
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:50 He does, indeed.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 I think it depends on your personal engagement with the subject/writer. The UK folk rock scene has been a big part of my listening for 40+ years, so I'm thirsty for all the stories. It was also fairly brief, which was good.
	🥁 3:56pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I like Thompson's book too. Seemed he did well to give us some truth but was mindful of sensitivities of those involved. What I enjoyed the most was learning how even after a few albums being out that Fairport was still scuffling around, living communally, barely paying the bills. And as Larry wrote, I am thirsty for an stories about the UK folk rock scene. Which reminds me, there are a few rabbit holes the book opened for me that I haven't completed.
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	3:58pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 mahalo, coel!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 Hi C!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" This band was led by Craig Smith, aka Matreiya Kali, a REALLY interesting guy.Mike Stax of Ugly Things wrote a biography of him. The band was discovered by Mike Nesmith, who produced this album, which was unissued into decades later
	4:00pm doctorjazz: I love the music of the UK rock scene, Richard and Linda, have seen Richard Thompson I-don't-know-how-many times. Maybe I'm just suffering from the (common) loss of ability to focus on something for a while, become internet-addled...
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 I know the feeling well, I fight it every day, I got an amazing pile of books foe Christmas, so that'll help
	4:04pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Have you got the Randy Newman book yet?
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" Sounds like they listened to Ornette's Prime Time a bit...
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:04 The two lead guys in theband wrote 'Salesman' for the Monkees.
	4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter (Woody Woodpecker ... Amazing how you know it's them in a note or 2!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 The first time I heard this I was 13 or 14 and had gotten an import comp that included all of Smiley Smile. I was like "WHUT?!?"
	🥁 4:13pm WR: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" Another rabbit hole. Well, at least this one is covered by that 2004 issue on Sundazed. Do the liner notes give a picture of why the album wasn't released in the 60s when it was recorded?
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:13 I think Nesmith was financing it and started to run out of Monkee money. If you can find the bio by Mike Stax it's a fascinating story that takes some weird/tragic turns
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:58 Aloha,Andrew!
	🥁 4:18pm WR: Not keep tuned in? Hey hey hey, the stream itself deserves some respect.
	4:19pm Erica: ↳ WR @4:18 If you wanna hear random weird stuff, fine by me.
	4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:19 I always thought of WFMU as the Home of Random Weird Stuff!
	🥁 4:20pm WR: ↳ Erica @4:19 Random Weird Stuff is fine by me. LOL.
	4:21pm Michael 98145: It's why we are here
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:20 For me it's the home of obscure 60s music.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned to the automated stream, which is wonderful in its inherent random-osity!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:18 I meant that there were no live shows following me today. I would never suggest pulling your ears away from the stream!
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:21 That too! (there are subgenres on the WFMU main station and streams, it's all good!)
	🥁 4:24pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind" by "Ken Snakehips Joh... Your back announce reminded that I had meant to look to see who the female backing vocalists were. Found a pic of a 78 that lists The Henderson Twins on vocal along with Bowlly. www.albowlly.club...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:24 I missed that on the label. LOTS of info!
	4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:21 You might like The Flange and The Frigate, Fridays, 4 PM on the Sheena Stream, 60s-70s BRITISH obscure Rock and associated music. Of course, Big Planet Noise and Kip dig up lots of obscure music from the era.
	4:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" Know this from Blood Sweat and Tears.
	🥁 4:26pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:25 Yes, that band name is a doozy.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" This song written by Steve Katz and originally recorded by BST
	🥁 4:27pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 thanks doc. I was trying to recall.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 I love their version, too
	🥁 4:27pm Mollywog: I have to admit I like this version better than the original.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:27 It's Lani Hall's amazing voice
	4:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" Second BST album.
	🥁 4:30pm WR: ↳ Song: "Snowfall" by "Ramsey Lewis Trio" that was short and sweet.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:30 Great song, written by 1940s bandleader CLaude Thornhill, who's band spawned Gil Evans among others
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song for a Winter's Night" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Saw his biography on some streaming service or other, he's Canadas Most Revered Artist (at least according to the documentary). Do we get to take credit for him if Canada becomes the 51st state?
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 Only if we get custody of Joni, Neil and Leonard Cohen
	4:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 I'll take the trifecta!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:36 Not the same level as the trifecta, but I also like The New Pornographers (but they may not do so well with the new administrators with that name).
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 ...new (incoming) administration, meant to say...
	4:38pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 Actually, wouldn't that be 10-plus new states ... ?
	4:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 You need to throw in The Guess Who.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:38 And Rush and the surviving cast of SCTV...
	4:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 Do you know Max Webster?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:40 I know of Max Webster, not really familiar with the music
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Gotta do some work (and put something warm on, show has me shivering), thanks Larry. Happy New Year all!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 Bye Doc! Happy New Year!
	4:51pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:51 Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 Chilly wind up here, too, today
	4:53pm Erica: Such a peaceful show Larry.
	🥁 4:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "Vivaldi -Largo From Winter" by "Leonard Bernstein... Nice segue from Vashti to Blind Willie to Vivaldi, lovely. Thank you! Larry!
	🥁 4:54pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for the snowy show!
	🥁 4:56pm Mollywog: Thanks Larry, great show. Happy New Year all!
	4:57pm Erica: Happy New Year's Larry.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:53 Thanks Erica!
	4:57pm Erica: See you all next year (2025 that is).
	4:57pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	4:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:51 Brrrrrr....
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 Thanks WR!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:54 Thanks Yvang!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:56 Thanks Mollywog! Happy New Year!
	4:58pm doctorjazz: Missed the Blind Willie, great track! Bye all again!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:57 Thanks Michael!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:58 Thanks Doc! HNY!
	🥁 4:59pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry!
	🥁 5:35pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 The Wikipedia entry for Craig Smith covers his dissolution after leaving Penny Arkade. Seems his song writing income made him give up on the band. A sad end for him. A very interesting story of the band coming out of a possible tv show to be similar to The Monkeys. en.wikipedia.org...

	3:38pm Michael 98145: fun show today
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:38 Thanks Michael!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Five years ago I did a whole show devoted to the Neon Philharmonic: wfmu.org...
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Snow" by "Claudine Longet" This is a Randy Newman composition
	3:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:35 Don`t forget Beeswing!
	3:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:41 How could I? That's a great one in concert!
	3:45pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Shuggie Otis, son of Johnny Otis.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 Yes, indeed!
	3:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:41 It was also his autobiography title (I have it, but got bored, didn't finish it. Would rather listen to him than read it).
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I enjoyed the book. It was great to hear first-hand accounts of people like Sandy Denny and Nick Drake.
	3:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 He has a very dry sense of humor.
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:49 Getting harder to engage in my old age, I suppose...
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:50 He does, indeed.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 I think it depends on your personal engagement with the subject/writer. The UK folk rock scene has been a big part of my listening for 40+ years, so I'm thirsty for all the stories. It was also fairly brief, which was good.
	🥁 3:56pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I like Thompson's book too. Seemed he did well to give us some truth but was mindful of sensitivities of those involved. What I enjoyed the most was learning how even after a few albums being out that Fairport was still scuffling around, living communally, barely paying the bills. And as Larry wrote, I am thirsty for an stories about the UK folk rock scene. Which reminds me, there are a few rabbit holes the book opened for me that I haven't completed.
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	3:58pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 mahalo, coel!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:57 Hi C!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" This band was led by Craig Smith, aka Matreiya Kali, a REALLY interesting guy.Mike Stax of Ugly Things wrote a biography of him. The band was discovered by Mike Nesmith, who produced this album, which was unissued into decades later
	4:00pm doctorjazz: I love the music of the UK rock scene, Richard and Linda, have seen Richard Thompson I-don't-know-how-many times. Maybe I'm just suffering from the (common) loss of ability to focus on something for a while, become internet-addled...
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:00 I know the feeling well, I fight it every day, I got an amazing pile of books foe Christmas, so that'll help
	4:04pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Have you got the Randy Newman book yet?
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" Sounds like they listened to Ornette's Prime Time a bit...
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:04 The two lead guys in theband wrote 'Salesman' for the Monkees.
	4:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fall Breaks and Back to Winter (Woody Woodpecker ... Amazing how you know it's them in a note or 2!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:10 The first time I heard this I was 13 or 14 and had gotten an import comp that included all of Smiley Smile. I was like "WHUT?!?"
	🥁 4:13pm WR: ↳ Song: "Not the Freeze" by "Penny Arkade" Another rabbit hole. Well, at least this one is covered by that 2004 issue on Sundazed. Do the liner notes give a picture of why the album wasn't released in the 60s when it was recorded?
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:13 I think Nesmith was financing it and started to run out of Monkee money. If you can find the bio by Mike Stax it's a fascinating story that takes some weird/tragic turns
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:58 Aloha,Andrew!
	🥁 4:18pm WR: Not keep tuned in? Hey hey hey, the stream itself deserves some respect.
	4:19pm Erica: ↳ WR @4:18 If you wanna hear random weird stuff, fine by me.
	4:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:19 I always thought of WFMU as the Home of Random Weird Stuff!
	🥁 4:20pm WR: ↳ Erica @4:19 Random Weird Stuff is fine by me. LOL.
	4:21pm Michael 98145: It's why we are here
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:20 For me it's the home of obscure 60s music.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned to the automated stream, which is wonderful in its inherent random-osity!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:18 I meant that there were no live shows following me today. I would never suggest pulling your ears away from the stream!
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:21 That too! (there are subgenres on the WFMU main station and streams, it's all good!)
	🥁 4:24pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind" by "Ken Snakehips Joh... Your back announce reminded that I had meant to look to see who the female backing vocalists were. Found a pic of a 78 that lists The Henderson Twins on vocal along with Bowlly. www.albowlly.club...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:24 I missed that on the label. LOTS of info!
	4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:21 You might like The Flange and The Frigate, Fridays, 4 PM on the Sheena Stream, 60s-70s BRITISH obscure Rock and associated music. Of course, Big Planet Noise and Kip dig up lots of obscure music from the era.
	4:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" Know this from Blood Sweat and Tears.
	🥁 4:26pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:25 Yes, that band name is a doozy.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" This song written by Steve Katz and originally recorded by BST
	🥁 4:27pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 thanks doc. I was trying to recall.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:26 I love their version, too
	🥁 4:27pm Mollywog: I have to admit I like this version better than the original.
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:27 It's Lani Hall's amazing voice
	4:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sometimes In Winter" by "Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66" Second BST album.
	🥁 4:30pm WR: ↳ Song: "Snowfall" by "Ramsey Lewis Trio" that was short and sweet.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:30 Great song, written by 1940s bandleader CLaude Thornhill, who's band spawned Gil Evans among others
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song for a Winter's Night" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Saw his biography on some streaming service or other, he's Canadas Most Revered Artist (at least according to the documentary). Do we get to take credit for him if Canada becomes the 51st state?
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 Only if we get custody of Joni, Neil and Leonard Cohen
	4:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 I'll take the trifecta!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:36 Not the same level as the trifecta, but I also like The New Pornographers (but they may not do so well with the new administrators with that name).
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 ...new (incoming) administration, meant to say...
	4:38pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 Actually, wouldn't that be 10-plus new states ... ?
	4:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 You need to throw in The Guess Who.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:38 And Rush and the surviving cast of SCTV...
	4:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 Do you know Max Webster?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:40 I know of Max Webster, not really familiar with the music
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Gotta do some work (and put something warm on, show has me shivering), thanks Larry. Happy New Year all!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 Bye Doc! Happy New Year!
	4:51pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, larry!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:51 Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @4:42 Chilly wind up here, too, today
	4:53pm Erica: Such a peaceful show Larry.
	🥁 4:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "Vivaldi -Largo From Winter" by "Leonard Bernstein... Nice segue from Vashti to Blind Willie to Vivaldi, lovely. Thank you! Larry!
	🥁 4:54pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for the snowy show!
	🥁 4:56pm Mollywog: Thanks Larry, great show. Happy New Year all!
	4:57pm Erica: Happy New Year's Larry.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:53 Thanks Erica!
	4:57pm Erica: See you all next year (2025 that is).
	4:57pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	4:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:51 Brrrrrr....
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 Thanks WR!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:54 Thanks Yvang!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mollywog @4:56 Thanks Mollywog! Happy New Year!
	4:58pm doctorjazz: Missed the Blind Willie, great track! Bye all again!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:57 Thanks Michael!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:58 Thanks Doc! HNY!
	🥁 4:59pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry!
	🥁 5:35pm WR: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 The Wikipedia entry for Craig Smith covers his dissolution after leaving Penny Arkade. Seems his song writing income made him give up on the band. A sad end for him. A very interesting story of the band coming out of a possible tv show to be similar to The Monkeys. en.wikipedia.org...
