	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @3:04 Hey Cal!
	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Did he overdubbed himself?
	3:05pm rf: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Why are there 2 bob dylans
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Bobby D harmonizing with himself, no? Nobody else would come up with this vocal arrangement.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 Paul Simon wrote it. I don't think S&G ever did it.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:05 Yes, I think that's two Bobs
	3:06pm Dan S: ↳ Erica @3:05 That was news to me too!

	🥁 3:10pm Yvang: Happy #400 Larry!
	🥁 3:10pm Brian in UK: "Numbers add up to nothing" Neil Young. What does he know.
	3:11pm still b/p: In the vein of unexpected treatments, on the radio the other day I heard a muzak-ish version of Alice's Restaurant. A kazoo was aboard for the latter part of it, but mostly it was by the generic elevator-music production book. Arlo should record a long song and narrative today reporting such instances and weighing in on the piece's legacy.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:10 Thanks Yvang!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:10 Thanks Andrew!

	3:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:11 erk ...
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Scarborough Fair" by "Tony Mottola with The Groov... This was before Tony M's management/production duties I guess.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:11 Hey SBP! Any idea who it was? Years ago someone (maybe on Sirius) played three distinct version of Alices Restaurant, one with a bit about Nixon having a copy of the record in the white house, and the length of the song matching the missing time on Nixon's tapes
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 That's TOMMY
	🥁 3:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Oh yes, ofcourse.
	3:14pm CHUCK ROAST: I especially like that you are showcasing musicians who were Art and Paul's peers back in their salad days.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CHUCK ROAST @3:14 There are some later covers in the last set, but the lion's share are contemporary to S&G
	3:15pm Erica: Scarborough Fair was originally a traditional English tune that Simon and Garfunkel made famous. Good thing they did.
	3:16pm Erica: ↳ Song: "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" by "Har... Also the Harper's Bizarre version of this song with always be my favorite version.
	3:16pm Michael 98145: Top of the Pops
	3:17pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 No clue on ID. Don't see it in hasty search.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" by "Joyride" One of Gerry and the Pacemakers last 45s was a cover of this song
	3:21pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Homeward Bound" by "Cher" More hand-held percussion!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:21 I don't know if you heard it, but I did a show dedicated to the early years of Cher's solo career: wfmu.org...
	🥁 3:26pm Brian in UK: Well said.
	3:29pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 Thanks, I will sample that...and no doubt m' ears will get very generous and very judgey.
	🥁 3:30pm Brian in UK: A couple of years ago my friend from skool & I turned Seventy. He had been an S&G fan from the start. I sent him a copy of Bookends, which ofcourse he had. It was the line "How terribly strange to be Seventy" that was the killer.
	3:30pm David The Splatter: ↳ Erica @3:15 One of my favorite versions is the cover done by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66.
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:26 Thanks Brian!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 Great touchstone for a 70th birthday
	3:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "America" by "Paul Desmond" Knew that was Desmond immediately ("dry martini" tone).
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: BTW, if you don't hear a favorite cover in this set, there is some Bookends spill-over in the final set
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:33 One of the best ever
	3:34pm Doug Schulkind: Happy 400th Showiversary, Larry!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Doug Schulkind @3:34 Thanks Doug!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "America" by "Paul Desmond" Herbie Hancock on piano
	3:34pm still b/p: "immersive concert-style theater show" of "The Simon and Garfunkel Story" stops locally on national tour in a few months.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:34 A multi-media extravaganza?
	3:38pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 Yeahhhh -- "Using huge projection photos and original film footage" "back by popular demand" "global phenomenon" ..."standing ovations at every performance at the show Art Garfunkel himself loved."
	3:39pm Fred R: Thursday greetings Larry and everyone!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @3:39 Hi Fred!
	3:40pm Erica: Hi Fred.
	3:42pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Voices of Old People" by "Joe and Veronica" I realized this was by Larry's now deceased parents.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:42 It was...
	3:42pm Fred R: Hi Erica
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: Roy Hallee did make their sound so clean & clear.
	3:43pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 I bet they were wonderful people.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:43 They were, indeed.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Voices of Old People" by "Joe and Veronica" Knowing the provenance of a song. Wondered where you got that Larry!!
	🥁 3:45pm WLSClark: I may have said this before, but IF you get a chance to see the Simon & Garfunkel story Broadway play thing onstage, it's just fabulous. Those 2 guys do everything great!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:45 No cover existing, I had to create one. My parents did a series of Youtube videos of them singing old standards (with my Pop on piano), so I drew the spoken bits from a few of those.
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Fakin' It" by "Bob Theile and the New Happy Times... Guess this album was covering the hits of the day.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:47 www.discogs.com...
	3:48pm Michael 98145: Really? Gabor Szabo. Whoa.
	3:49pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 nice
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Fakin' It" by "Bob Theile and the New Happy Times... This album is one of several recorded by the same group of people during 1967, I devoted a show to the records a few years ago:wfmu.org...
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:45 Hey Clark!
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Andrew and all.
	🥁 3:54pm Brian in UK: The most out of a toaster. Love it.
	3:54pm still b/p: WHAT? Replaced boysenberry with loganberry? What?
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Lois Lane" There's a video for this song on Youtube where someone has synched it up to a clip of her appearing on 'The Saint' (though not performing this song), but you get to see Simon Templar walk through a hippie crash pad.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:54 Do they have boysenberry's in the UK?
	3:56pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @3:54 At least it wasn't snozzberries. Willy Wonka would be singing the song lol.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:56 In a duet with Veruca Salt?
	🥁 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Not sold here as such. Is it a kind of raspberry/blackberry type?
	3:57pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Hahah. "Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?"
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:57 Apparently it's a hybrid of a couple of berries, one of which is boysenberry! en.wikipedia.org...
	3:58pm still b/p: The Guardian, 2016: "Funnily enough for a relatively modern cultivar, the boysenberry is often also thought of in the UK as a heritage crop, and was once widely cultivated here for the production of jams and jellies and turned into mass-market tinned pie fillings right up until the 1980s. It is still hugely popular in New Zealand, now the world’s largest producer, but has sadly seen a precipitous decline in both Britain and even its native North America."
	3:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:58 had no idea
	4:00pm David The Splatter: About to leave work, I'll be listening on the ride home but thank you in advance, Larry, and congrats on 400 shows!
	4:00pm Erica: That's probably why I never heard of a boysenberry.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @4:00 Thanks David! Safe travels!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 Read the Wiki link I posted. Boysenberrys were crucial to the start of Knott's Berry Farm in California
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" by "Hugo Montenegro" Like this!
	4:04pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 I heard of Knott's. It's now a theme park.
	4:06pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 indeed
	4:07pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" by "Hugo Montenegro" "Hazy Shade of Winter" played back to back with "California Dreaming" often makes me hate NY!
	4:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ Erica @4:04 Since the 1940s. Had chicken dinners there as a kid.
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Mike Sin @4:07 Well, NY IS a lonely town, as I believe you played on your show this week.
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:07 Hey Mike!
	4:13pm still b/p: A line of alarm I hadn't noticed from boysenberry article: "Despite its incredible flavour, it is a berry at risk of becoming commercially extinct in the next few decades." Whoa, whoa, whoa! Article recommends it for home growers, though.
	🥁 4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Lemonheads" Now, we just need a "Where have you gone, Bob Uecker" version.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Lemonheads" My younger MollyJazz would like this (goes for all things Punk)
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:13 It sounds like they are both delicious and fragile,not standing up to storage
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Someone must do one?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:18 This was not on the early pressings of the album.It was added after it became a hit.
	🥁 4:20pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Actually it's a post-Saint movie called "Crossplot". Is her name truly Lois Lane?
	4:21pm Michael 98145: Pogo Mrs Robinson
	🥁 4:21pm Brian in UK: Any soft fruit is susceptible to a short life after harvesting.
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Yes he died too sadly.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:20 Hi David! I didn't know that! I doubt that's her real name.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:20 Discogs says her real name is Lois Wilkinson, and she was in the Caravelles
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Memphis Soul Band" This ROCKS!
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Memphis Soul Band" This is actually German organist Ingfried Hoffman aka Memphis Black
	🥁 4:24pm WR: Hello Larry and folks.
	4:24pm Erica: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by "The Bangles" I had a thought this one would get played.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:24 Hey WR!
	4:25pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by "The Bangles" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊♥️🥰
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:24 From the soundtrack to Less Than Zero
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: We dont even have a PATCH of snow on the ground.
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 I'm sick of snow already.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: Hoping they show this sung by Paul Simon & Geo Harrison on the 50th anniversary SNL show this weekend.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:27 Dont blame ya, Erica.
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: Nice segway!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:27 I'm steeling myself to be disappointed by this special. Too much Jimmy Fallon, not enough of everything else.
	4:30pm Webhamster Henry: I’m really enjoying this show!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:29 Thanks Clark!
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Barbra Streisand" It's easy to overdue Simon's lyrics (which, especially early on, could be a bit much). Case in point-Barbra...
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @4:30 Thanks Henry!
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 (I'm such an old kvetch...)
	4:32pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Uh huh .. not a JF fan
	4:33pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Barbra Streisand" Entertaining in its overdone melodrama and silly instrumental accents. She's sure in great voice though.
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... This song has always sounded evocative of something that I do not know.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:32 I watched that Saturday Night movie and spent the whole thing griping about it's unrelenting inaccuracies. My wife was not pleased.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:33 Yeah, kind of epically melancholy
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... This, on the other hand, is a great cover (love the original as well)!
	🥁 4:34pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Fallon is so over the top in love with EVERYONE. Ugh. I hope that like on the 25th Anniversary show, Lincoln is represented! Bill Murray as "Nick the lounge singer" did "In the Year 2525" on that show. Surprised it is not on youtube that I could find. I have on an old VHS tape somewhere.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:33 I'm always open to her covers of pop stuff, no matter how weird
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 We plan to watch that this weekend.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 "I get all the news I need from the weather report..."
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... Interesting to hear 10cc cover this.
	4:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Great line!
	🥁 4:36pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Smart man these days!!!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" by "Paul Desmond" Awww, gotta get some work done, walking out on Desmomd? Very sad...
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Bye Doc!
	4:38pm WTF_Chuck: Great show, Rev Larry. Coming at a time when something to reduce the stress level is much needed, at least by me. This will be a go to for me as I travel through the unknown darkness ahead. Peace and Love, everyone
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 Did they?
	🥁 4:38pm Brian in UK: This always makes me smile. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:38 Bye Chuck!
	🥁 4:39pm WLSClark: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:38 Make no mistake, it WILL be dark indeed.
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" by "Paul Desmond" Like Gene Bertocini on guitar here!
	🥁 4:39pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 Should have written 'would be interesting to hear'.....
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" The best S and G cover EVER!!!
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 Yes, great group on that album!
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" YES does magic to a song that never needed any magic. So great by both!!!
	4:42pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:41 Agreed. 👍
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:41 They did some unusual covers early on. I love their version of the Buffalo Springfield's Everydays
	4:43pm Erica: Jon Anderson's voice is nothing short of powerful.
	4:44pm Erica: And it was the 71-72 period where his voice had just started to become iconic.
	4:45pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" Bowie did a version of America with just him and an Omnichord at the 9/11 concert for America. duck://player/afifZfUkU8I
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @4:45 I'll have to check that out later!
	4:45pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" Cool version of a great song. Don’t believe I’ve heard this.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:45 It was an outtake that only appeared on a 1972 Atlantic sampler LP
	4:47pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Ah. But now thanks to the interwebs, we can collectively enjoy it virtually, but together
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:47 Absolutely!
	4:48pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 I believe it was rereleased as a bonus track on a Close to the Edge reissue as well.
	4:49pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Nice Paul Simon salute today! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground coming up next! wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:49pm WLSClark: Never a big fan of long songs, but YES is often an exception--as here.
	4:50pm still b/p: I was working yesterday where someone used a laser level that was beaming and tilting multidirectionally as they adjusted and set it, and it reminded me of the simple laser show, same both times, that Yes had on tour when I saw their Boston appearances twice in about 76 and 77. Now you could get yerself a couple of those laser levels, attach them to an upended unicycle wheel and dazzle your concert crowd!
	4:50pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Erica @4:48 Cool. Makes sense. It has Close to the Edge sound to my ear, which though one of my fave LPs, I never did get in box set format.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, fun sets!
	🥁 4:53pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Yes' first single was their take on Beatles' "Every Little Thing."

	🥁 4:55pm WR: Thank you! Larry! Onward...
	🥁 4:55pm Brian in UK: I saw Yes in 1969. Jon Hendricks scat sang a couple of numbers with Jon Anderson. Would you believe.
	🥁 4:56pm WLSClark: HAPPY 400, Larry!!!!!
	🥁 4:56pm Brian in UK: Nice work, Larry.
	4:56pm Crafty: Thanks Larry!

	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Did he overdubbed himself?
	3:05pm rf: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Why are there 2 bob dylans
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Bob Dylan" Bobby D harmonizing with himself, no? Nobody else would come up with this vocal arrangement.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 Paul Simon wrote it. I don't think S&G ever did it.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:05 Yes, I think that's two Bobs

	🥁 3:10pm Yvang: Happy #400 Larry!
	🥁 3:10pm Brian in UK: "Numbers add up to nothing" Neil Young. What does he know.
	3:11pm still b/p: In the vein of unexpected treatments, on the radio the other day I heard a muzak-ish version of Alice's Restaurant. A kazoo was aboard for the latter part of it, but mostly it was by the generic elevator-music production book. Arlo should record a long song and narrative today reporting such instances and weighing in on the piece's legacy.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:10 Thanks Yvang!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:10 Thanks Andrew!
	3:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:10 Hi Andrew!
	3:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:11 erk ...
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Scarborough Fair" by "Tony Mottola with The Groov... This was before Tony M's management/production duties I guess.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:11 Hey SBP! Any idea who it was? Years ago someone (maybe on Sirius) played three distinct version of Alices Restaurant, one with a bit about Nixon having a copy of the record in the white house, and the length of the song matching the missing time on Nixon's tapes
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 That's TOMMY
	🥁 3:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 Oh yes, ofcourse.
	3:14pm CHUCK ROAST: I especially like that you are showcasing musicians who were Art and Paul's peers back in their salad days.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CHUCK ROAST @3:14 There are some later covers in the last set, but the lion's share are contemporary to S&G
	3:15pm Erica: Scarborough Fair was originally a traditional English tune that Simon and Garfunkel made famous. Good thing they did.
	3:16pm Erica: ↳ Song: "59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" by "Har... Also the Harper's Bizarre version of this song with always be my favorite version.
	3:16pm Michael 98145: Top of the Pops
	3:17pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:13 No clue on ID. Don't see it in hasty search.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" by "Joyride" One of Gerry and the Pacemakers last 45s was a cover of this song
	3:21pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Homeward Bound" by "Cher" More hand-held percussion!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:21 I don't know if you heard it, but I did a show dedicated to the early years of Cher's solo career: wfmu.org...
	🥁 3:26pm Brian in UK: Well said.
	3:29pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 Thanks, I will sample that...and no doubt m' ears will get very generous and very judgey.
	🥁 3:30pm Brian in UK: A couple of years ago my friend from skool & I turned Seventy. He had been an S&G fan from the start. I sent him a copy of Bookends, which ofcourse he had. It was the line "How terribly strange to be Seventy" that was the killer.
	3:30pm David The Splatter: ↳ Erica @3:15 One of my favorite versions is the cover done by Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66.
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:26 Thanks Brian!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 Great touchstone for a 70th birthday
	3:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "America" by "Paul Desmond" Knew that was Desmond immediately ("dry martini" tone).
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: BTW, if you don't hear a favorite cover in this set, there is some Bookends spill-over in the final set
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:33 One of the best ever
	3:34pm Doug Schulkind: Happy 400th Showiversary, Larry!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Doug Schulkind @3:34 Thanks Doug!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "America" by "Paul Desmond" Herbie Hancock on piano
	3:34pm still b/p: "immersive concert-style theater show" of "The Simon and Garfunkel Story" stops locally on national tour in a few months.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:34 A multi-media extravaganza?
	3:38pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:35 Yeahhhh -- "Using huge projection photos and original film footage" "back by popular demand" "global phenomenon" ..."standing ovations at every performance at the show Art Garfunkel himself loved."
	3:39pm Fred R: Thursday greetings Larry and everyone!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @3:39 Hi Fred!
	3:40pm Erica: Hi Fred.
	3:42pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Voices of Old People" by "Joe and Veronica" I realized this was by Larry's now deceased parents.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:42 It was...
	3:42pm Fred R: Hi Erica
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: Roy Hallee did make their sound so clean & clear.
	3:43pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 I bet they were wonderful people.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:43 They were, indeed.
	🥁 3:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Voices of Old People" by "Joe and Veronica" Knowing the provenance of a song. Wondered where you got that Larry!!
	🥁 3:45pm WLSClark: I may have said this before, but IF you get a chance to see the Simon & Garfunkel story Broadway play thing onstage, it's just fabulous. Those 2 guys do everything great!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:45 No cover existing, I had to create one. My parents did a series of Youtube videos of them singing old standards (with my Pop on piano), so I drew the spoken bits from a few of those.
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Fakin' It" by "Bob Theile and the New Happy Times... Guess this album was covering the hits of the day.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:47 www.discogs.com...
	3:48pm Michael 98145: Really? Gabor Szabo. Whoa.
	3:49pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:47 nice
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Fakin' It" by "Bob Theile and the New Happy Times... This album is one of several recorded by the same group of people during 1967, I devoted a show to the records a few years ago:wfmu.org...
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:45 Hey Clark!
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Andrew and all.
	🥁 3:54pm Brian in UK: The most out of a toaster. Love it.
	3:54pm still b/p: WHAT? Replaced boysenberry with loganberry? What?
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Lois Lane" There's a video for this song on Youtube where someone has synched it up to a clip of her appearing on 'The Saint' (though not performing this song), but you get to see Simon Templar walk through a hippie crash pad.
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:54 Do they have boysenberry's in the UK?
	3:56pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @3:54 At least it wasn't snozzberries. Willy Wonka would be singing the song lol.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:56 In a duet with Veruca Salt?
	🥁 3:57pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Not sold here as such. Is it a kind of raspberry/blackberry type?
	3:57pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:56 Hahah. "Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?"
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:57 Apparently it's a hybrid of a couple of berries, one of which is boysenberry! en.wikipedia.org...
	3:58pm still b/p: The Guardian, 2016: "Funnily enough for a relatively modern cultivar, the boysenberry is often also thought of in the UK as a heritage crop, and was once widely cultivated here for the production of jams and jellies and turned into mass-market tinned pie fillings right up until the 1980s. It is still hugely popular in New Zealand, now the world’s largest producer, but has sadly seen a precipitous decline in both Britain and even its native North America."
	3:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ still b/p @3:58 had no idea
	4:00pm David The Splatter: About to leave work, I'll be listening on the ride home but thank you in advance, Larry, and congrats on 400 shows!
	4:00pm Erica: That's probably why I never heard of a boysenberry.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David The Splatter @4:00 Thanks David! Safe travels!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 Read the Wiki link I posted. Boysenberrys were crucial to the start of Knott's Berry Farm in California
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" by "Hugo Montenegro" Like this!
	4:04pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 I heard of Knott's. It's now a theme park.
	4:06pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 indeed
	4:07pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade Of Winter" by "Hugo Montenegro" "Hazy Shade of Winter" played back to back with "California Dreaming" often makes me hate NY!
	4:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ Erica @4:04 Since the 1940s. Had chicken dinners there as a kid.
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Mike Sin @4:07 Well, NY IS a lonely town, as I believe you played on your show this week.
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @4:07 Hey Mike!
	4:13pm still b/p: A line of alarm I hadn't noticed from boysenberry article: "Despite its incredible flavour, it is a berry at risk of becoming commercially extinct in the next few decades." Whoa, whoa, whoa! Article recommends it for home growers, though.
	🥁 4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Lemonheads" Now, we just need a "Where have you gone, Bob Uecker" version.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Lemonheads" My younger MollyJazz would like this (goes for all things Punk)
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:13 It sounds like they are both delicious and fragile,not standing up to storage
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Someone must do one?
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:18 This was not on the early pressings of the album.It was added after it became a hit.
	🥁 4:20pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:55 Actually it's a post-Saint movie called "Crossplot". Is her name truly Lois Lane?
	4:21pm Michael 98145: Pogo Mrs Robinson
	🥁 4:21pm Brian in UK: Any soft fruit is susceptible to a short life after harvesting.
	4:21pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 Yes he died too sadly.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:20 Hi David! I didn't know that! I doubt that's her real name.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:20 Discogs says her real name is Lois Wilkinson, and she was in the Caravelles
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Memphis Soul Band" This ROCKS!
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Mrs Robinson" by "The Memphis Soul Band" This is actually German organist Ingfried Hoffman aka Memphis Black
	🥁 4:24pm WR: Hello Larry and folks.
	4:24pm Erica: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by "The Bangles" I had a thought this one would get played.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:24 Hey WR!
	4:25pm Crafty: ↳ Song: "A Hazy Shade of Winter" by "The Bangles" ⭐️🔊🔊🔊♥️🥰
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:24 From the soundtrack to Less Than Zero
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: We dont even have a PATCH of snow on the ground.
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:26 I'm sick of snow already.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: Hoping they show this sung by Paul Simon & Geo Harrison on the 50th anniversary SNL show this weekend.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:27 Dont blame ya, Erica.
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: Nice segway!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:27 I'm steeling myself to be disappointed by this special. Too much Jimmy Fallon, not enough of everything else.
	4:30pm Webhamster Henry: I’m really enjoying this show!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:29 Thanks Clark!
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Barbra Streisand" It's easy to overdue Simon's lyrics (which, especially early on, could be a bit much). Case in point-Barbra...
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @4:30 Thanks Henry!
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 (I'm such an old kvetch...)
	4:32pm Michael 98145: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Uh huh .. not a JF fan
	4:33pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Punky's Dilemma" by "Barbra Streisand" Entertaining in its overdone melodrama and silly instrumental accents. She's sure in great voice though.
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... This song has always sounded evocative of something that I do not know.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:32 I watched that Saturday Night movie and spent the whole thing griping about it's unrelenting inaccuracies. My wife was not pleased.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:33 Yeah, kind of epically melancholy
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... This, on the other hand, is a great cover (love the original as well)!
	🥁 4:34pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:30 Fallon is so over the top in love with EVERYONE. Ugh. I hope that like on the 25th Anniversary show, Lincoln is represented! Bill Murray as "Nick the lounge singer" did "In the Year 2525" on that show. Surprised it is not on youtube that I could find. I have on an old VHS tape somewhere.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:33 I'm always open to her covers of pop stuff, no matter how weird
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 We plan to watch that this weekend.
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:34 "I get all the news I need from the weather report..."
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy in New York" by "Everything B... Interesting to hear 10cc cover this.
	4:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Great line!
	🥁 4:36pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Smart man these days!!!
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" by "Paul Desmond" Awww, gotta get some work done, walking out on Desmomd? Very sad...
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:37 Bye Doc!
	4:38pm WTF_Chuck: Great show, Rev Larry. Coming at a time when something to reduce the stress level is much needed, at least by me. This will be a go to for me as I travel through the unknown darkness ahead. Peace and Love, everyone
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 Did they?
	🥁 4:38pm Brian in UK: This always makes me smile. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:38 Bye Chuck!
	🥁 4:39pm WLSClark: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:38 Make no mistake, it WILL be dark indeed.
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" by "Paul Desmond" Like Gene Bertocini on guitar here!
	🥁 4:39pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:38 Should have written 'would be interesting to hear'.....
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" The best S and G cover EVER!!!
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 Yes, great group on that album!
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" YES does magic to a song that never needed any magic. So great by both!!!
	4:42pm Erica: ↳ WLSClark @4:41 Agreed. 👍
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:41 They did some unusual covers early on. I love their version of the Buffalo Springfield's Everydays
	4:43pm Erica: Jon Anderson's voice is nothing short of powerful.
	4:44pm Erica: And it was the 71-72 period where his voice had just started to become iconic.
	4:45pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" Bowie did a version of America with just him and an Omnichord at the 9/11 concert for America. duck://player/afifZfUkU8I
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Webhamster Henry @4:45 I'll have to check that out later!
	4:45pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Song: "America" by "Yes" Cool version of a great song. Don’t believe I’ve heard this.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:45 It was an outtake that only appeared on a 1972 Atlantic sampler LP
	4:47pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Ah. But now thanks to the interwebs, we can collectively enjoy it virtually, but together
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WTF_Chuck @4:47 Absolutely!
	4:48pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 I believe it was rereleased as a bonus track on a Close to the Edge reissue as well.
	4:49pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Nice Paul Simon salute today! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground coming up next! wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:49pm WLSClark: Never a big fan of long songs, but YES is often an exception--as here.
	4:50pm still b/p: I was working yesterday where someone used a laser level that was beaming and tilting multidirectionally as they adjusted and set it, and it reminded me of the simple laser show, same both times, that Yes had on tour when I saw their Boston appearances twice in about 76 and 77. Now you could get yerself a couple of those laser levels, attach them to an upended unicycle wheel and dazzle your concert crowd!
	4:50pm WTF_Chuck: ↳ Erica @4:48 Cool. Makes sense. It has Close to the Edge sound to my ear, which though one of my fave LPs, I never did get in box set format.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, fun sets!
