Listener comments!
	9:57pm Matt from New Orleans: I guess everything is back to normal at Casa Larry?
	9:58pm Funky16Corners: So far! Let's hope that there aren't any sudden storms!
	10:01pm Erica: So this week's episodes is a Beatles-esque theme.
	10:01pm Jeff Ash: I am here for this, all the way from Wisconsin!
	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Erica! Jeff!
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: After a big storm and a 24 hour blackout we are back in business.
	10:03pm Erica: Hi Larry. I hope you accept my FB friend request again. I had to open another account because my other one got hacked and closed.
	10:03pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - After the first set it's all Abbey Road covers.
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: I was going to ask you about that! I was getting weird messages (after the hack I assume). I will accept the new friend request.
	10:04pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	10:05pm Erica: What were the weird messages though?
	10:05pm northguineahills: palabara, Larry!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: This Hey Jude could been Dear Mr. Fantasy.
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Erica, Jeff and NGH
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - It was some kind of loan scam. It set off my BS alarm right away.
	10:06pm Funky16Corners: UNK!
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: @Unk - I love the bass and drum opening of this version. Overton Berry's albums are sought after by beat diggers/DJs.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: LAR!
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: I had this album for years before I noticed it was at a Doubletree Inn, like the chain.
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I've played two OBT tracks and one is from this album.
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Was one of the Guacamolean Shuffle?
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: them
	10:10pm Erica: Yes Larry, that's what I got. It was someone who claimed he was Drew Carey from the Price Is Right. Basically he offered to send me 50,000 or 500,000 dollars in exchange for $500. But since I didn't have the money, I was insulted then he sent me codes to help me. First it was Google accounts, then he had me log out of FB to send me codes from there and that's when my account was hacked under that person's email and pictures of a blonde girl were on my account. After that the account was gone.
	10:10pm Uncle Michael: And I Lover Her from this album and the other was The Last Supper on my Jesus Christ Supercut show.
	10:11pm Erica: And that wasn't the whole story, just the general idea of it. I actually thought it really WAS Drew Carey and told my mom. I was so scared.
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: @Unk - Have you heard Roy Meriwether's Jesus Christ Superstar?
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I even put up a post and tagged you suggesting that you'd been hacked but by then the hacker had control
	10:12pm Uncle Michael: I don't think so.
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: cdn.shopify.com...
	10:13pm Erica: Oh dang Larry. I couldn't even report that hacker on time, even with a new account because it closed.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: @unk - If you go that route again I'll send you what I have. It's cool, funky jazz.
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: That was a one-shot...but thanks.
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: That Ella was right up there with Dick Haymes' Me And Bobby McGee.
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: I haven't heard that one! I'll have to check it out.
	10:16pm Erica: To close: I said no to give that guy money, but he was too impatient and wanted it right away. And since he didn't get my money, he got my FB. So if you don't lose one way, you lose another. Let this be a warning to you guys.
	10:17pm Erica: Now on a positive note, I did like that Ella Fitzgerald version of Hey Jude.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: That album has some other cool stuff on it, like her version of Sunshine of Your Love
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: The Grateful Dead may have perpetrated the worst version of Hey Jude
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Pigpen, not the Brent Midland era ones.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: As much as I love the Dead, I believe that 100%
	10:20pm Dean: Dead haters!
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: This is the version. Pickett and Duane Allman.
	10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: I was wondering if this version was going to make the cut and it did
	10:23pm chresti: Hello!
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Can't do a set of Hey Judes without the Wicked Pickett!
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: Special Council Dean, As fond as I am of Pigpen, I must agree, he really crapped up that song.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: Franco!
	10:30pm Downward Facing Doug: My fave Hey Jude is by the South African/Nigerian supergroup Assagai. Hey, Larry!
	10:30pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed the Wicked One's Hey Jude, what a great track! Hi Larry and all you out there!
	10:31pm Erica: Hi Doc! Glad you made it.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Downward Facing Doug! Greetings!
	10:31pm cupcakejenny: What did I miss :)
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi Mrs Grogan!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: You missed me reminiscing about listening to Hey Jude with Larry Rover when we were kids.
	10:32pm cupcakejenny: Hello Eddie Haskell
	10:33pm doctorjazz: Never heard the Dead's Hey Jude, now I'm curious. (As a long time Dead fan, I'm perfectly aware how badly they could manage to sound at times. Part of the charm,I suppose...)
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: That's a lovely housecoat you're wearing, Mrs Cleaver!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: I love that Varitone electric sax!
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: My that's an attractive house dress you're wearing Mrs. Grogan
	10:35pm Doug Schulkind: That was actually me commenting in my Sunday morning post-yoga persona.
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: I was wondering!
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I swear I didn't see you're suck up comment, Larry, I was bust typing my own!
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: It really is the classic Eddie line
	10:37pm cupcakejenny: Lol
	10:37pm Erica: Haha! That Leave It To Beaver reference gets me.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Or 'Is Wallace at home?'
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, I believe it's on The Dead Murder The Classics, Volume12.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: This may be the jauntiest song about a serial killer ever written.
	10:46pm doctorjazz: I'm reminded of one of the last Dead shows I saw, 90s some time. At one point they're playing Sugar Magnolia, and Garcia is playing a full measure behind the rest of the band, took him most of a verse to get in sync (no one seemed to notice or mind, though).
	10:47pm doctorjazz: Reparata and the Delrons??? C'mon,you made this one up.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: I listen to the Sirius Grateful Dead channel in the car and I've caught some really rough concerts from near the end.
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: That's what heroin will do to you're timing.
	10:48pm Erica: Sadly no Doc, they were for real. I'm looking at images now.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Reparata and the Delrons had a fairly substantial hit in 1964 with When a Teenager Cries
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and assembled multitude
	10:50pm doctorjazz: Had that channel with my 3 month free trial of Sirius, really liked it (but I couldn't see subscribing to yet ANOTHER monthly deal (there seems to be a similar podcast that posts Dead shows I've found on Stitcher)
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, feel free to sing along.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: obviously haven't heard me sing, Franco
	10:54pm doctorjazz: Nina, nice (I liked the Netflix Simone bio. Liked the Dead one too). Both pretty sad at the end.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe you say that because you wont hear it! but anyway...it might happen)
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: The one with Zoe Saldana or a documentary?
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: Nina's story is so tragic toward the end. It was gutting reading her biography.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: I miss Jeff Conklin. Sunday night isn't the same without those tie-dyed nit wits to engage with.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i could sing along with the Richie Havens version, but not this one.
	10:59pm doctorjazz: It was a Documentary, think it was What Happened, Miss Simone, on Netflix.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking about you're after dinner sing-a-long you said would take place at che coelacanth when you were a youngster.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i do not miss Jeff's show. i liked most of the music he played though!
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Oh Ok. I can't bring myself to watch the Zoe Saldana thing, which reeks of insanity.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: Multiple versions of 'Because'? Why? BECAUSE.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco haha forgot about that. but there was only the one beatles album involved.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i'm somewhat glad i missed the hey jude segment! being one of my less favorite beatles songs, and being pretty lengthy. ...the one version up there i k now, though, is my favorite version. (more than the original) Wilson Pickett.
	11:06pm northguineahills: Haven't heard this Stan Getz (although his last few albums in the 80s got a little cheesy for me...., but I love his stuff beforehand, he's the one that got me into jazz....)
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: That LP "Marrakesh Express' is really nice
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: @C - You should go back and give it a listen when it's archived. Some cool versions in there.
	11:09pm cupcakejenny: The Hey Jude talk reminds me of the movie yesterday. Did anyone else see it? Hey Dude....
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Sarah does a really nice version of You Never...
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i will Larry. i think not hearing them all in a row is the way to go for me.
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Amazing pipes (Sarah)
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, what an amazing singer
	11:17pm doctorjazz: Ah, Joe, this one was in heavy rotation back in the day.
	11:17pm Erica: Sorry I was looking up All This and WW2 as well as the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack from 1978.
	11:18pm doctorjazz: Back when you could still make a career only covering other people's songs
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: That's what pop singers used to do! It was the odel for decades, then singer-songwriters came along and upset that applecart pretty quickly.
	11:20pm Erica: Songs still get covered Larry, just not as often anymore.
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - All This and WW2 is a bizarre movie with colorized footage of World War Two set to a soundtrack of Beatles covers. The boxed set used to be all over the place in cut out bins back in the 70s. I think I paid 99 cents for my copy brand new
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: Sgt Pepper is a just a bizarre movie that some producer took a huge bath on
	11:22pm northguineahills: Which FMU dj used to do all Beatle covers once a year? I want to say EFD, but I might be incorrect.
	11:24pm Erica: Ever heard the Colleen Hewett version of "Carry That Weight" Larry?
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: I have not Erica. What's it like?
	11:25pm doctorjazz: Songs still get covered, but it's not the same. No one expected Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra to perform original material...they were listened to for their chops and ability to bring something to a song. Now a group or artist do a cover to show how hip they are, using it as a break from the mostly original material.
	11:26pm Jeff Ash: Fun fact: Gap Mangione's cover of "The End" was for years the background music played at the end of Milwaukee Brewers baseball broadcasts.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: yeh i got that ww2 box in a carton of records i paid ...$30.00 for? back in the day.i don't think i ever made it past side one.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I did not know that! Very cool!
	11:27pm Erica: @Larry It's much slower than the Dobby Dobson version I'll say.
	11:27pm Jeff Ash: I heard it for years on Brewers broadcasts before i ever put 2 and 2 together.
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - What genre?
	11:28pm Erica: Listen for yourself (after the show of course): www.youtube.com...
	11:29pm doctorjazz: More versus? A bridge?
	11:30pm Johnzon: feel free to think Im stupid but I never knew this song was called her majesty
	11:32pm Johnzon: I thought it was "oh madje, she's a pretty nice girl"... I thought it was something Paul wrote as a teenager about a girl he had a crush on and included as a nostalgic homage to their roots... I was aware that there was a song called "her majesty" but never made the connection. again FEEL FREE to think Im stupid.
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Know Ernie Watts from Charlie Haden's Quartet West. Great band!
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: drjazz right? i would plan to dislike that had someone told me about it... taking liberties with beatles lyrics? no! ...but i think they did a good job there
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: 1/2 my xmas presents fell into that category Larry!
	11:37pm doctorjazz: Thought it was clever too, Coel. (It was a throw away by the Beatles, Anyway?. But jarring, though.
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Johnzon!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @C - Almost as bad as the time my Mom came home from a business trip with a Village People album for me.
	11:41pm Erica: Haha Larry! Nowadays, people would love to have something like that.
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: Johnzon many years ago (pre-internet) there was a wfmu show host that played mostly punk and i listened religiously. he made no attempt to pronounce artists and song titles clearly and for a long time i thought husker du was "who's for do" and euthanasia was "youth in asia" and mission of burma was "mission of burminison"
	11:42pm Jeff Ash: Found the reissue of McLemore Avenue in Chicago 5 years ago. I've seen the OG once and the reissue just once since.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: I've never seen the original. I guess Booker T and the boys were selling mostly 45s.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: haha Larry! ...my father's girlfriend once gave me "hooked on classics" and i ended up kinda liking it!
	11:45pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, fun show, time to crash. Night all!
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: I honestly don't think I even took the Village People LP out of the sleeve. At the time I was in my late teens and it was so far out of my musical orbit it hurt my head thinking about it.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doc!
	11:46pm northguineahills: Faving this episode for future posterity, thanks Larry!
	11:46pm doctorjazz: (cropped sounds really nice with his minimal,edgy play
	11:46pm Denise in DC: Hey Larry! Loving the show. Excuse my ignorance, but where is McLemore Avenue located?
	11:47pm Franco Twinkie: Steve Cropper doing all the vocal parts with his guitar is really something.
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: In Memphis, Tennessee, runs right past Stax Studios
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: And Hi! Denise!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Nite NGH!
	11:48pm Denise in DC: Thanks, Larry!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: the most inappropriate xmas gifts i got were clothing. my brother always got me records and i didn't like all of them but there was some thought put into it. 'twas rare anyone else risked getting me music. (even though i usually got everyone else music)
	11:48pm northguineahills: @Larry: Been there, but it was night, so it was closed.
	11:49pm northguineahills: @coel: I've only had friends and gfs give me music as gifts....
	11:50pm Johnzon: weird that you mentioned booker t & 45's... I bought Green Onions(45) today... couldn't resist for 33&1/3 cents
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: ngh yes those are bound to be the best ones
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Denise - The album McLemore Ave featured Booker T and the MGs on the cover, crossing the street just like the Beatles on Abbey Road and the album is all covers of stuff from that album
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Johnzon - A wise investment!
	11:52pm Denise in DC: That's why I was wondering about where the avenue was located -- the playlist was showing the album cover, and I was loving the street view.
	11:52pm Johnzon: I also got a beatles... bootleg? Hey Jude LP
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: @Denise - I forgot the pop-up player showed the album art!
	🥁 11:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): what can i even say in a situation like this?
	11:54pm Johnzon: or I guess it was just something apple released only in the states..
	11:54pm Denise in DC: I love that feature!
	11:55pm Denise in DC: Granny! What a great idea to include your pronouns!
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: "hey jude" was a legit release (legit...for capitol records that is)
	11:57pm Erica: I was wondering what happened to GST?
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: oh -@11.54 that's exactly right.
	🥁 11:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Denise: thanks! Howdy, Funky 16! This looks amazing, i'll have to dig this out of the archives. Greetings and farewell, everyone!
	11:58pm Denise in DC (she/her): Granny, you have inspired me.
	11:58pm Erica: Great to see you again Granny. Goodnight!
	11:58pm rw: Howdy! And thank you! Weirdly I was photographing a silver (actually polished aluminum) hammer today and we were singing the song.
	🥁 11:58pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): YAY! I truly appreciate it. :)
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: rw!
	🥁 11:59pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Hi, Erica, i'm having a very similar cat moment at this time.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: (...except it was capitol, not apple)
	🥁 11:59pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Appitol?
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: I think my copy of Hey Jude was on Apple.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! take care everyone
	12:00am Denise in DC (she/her): Dammitol.
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: reissue then
	12:00am coelacanth∅: (mine's on capitol)
	12:00am Funky16Corners: I don't think I had a Capitol Beatles album until Rock'n'Roll Music
	12:01am rw: D in DC, now you have to start a record label. 'Night everyone. Thanks again LG!!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Nite all!
	12:02am Denise in DC (she/her): Night! What a great show!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks Denise!
	12:02am Franco Twinkie: Great!
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	12:03am Johnzon: yep the copy i got has the apple logo... also thought it was odd that paperback writer is on there as that song woulda been a few years old by then... I mean no complaints. great song.
	12:05am Funky16Corners: Hey Jude was a kind of odds and sods collection of (I think) non-LP singles from the breadth of their career and a few new things as well.
	12:52pm Marie: Wonderful show, Larry. Thank you!
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Marie!

	10:06pm Funky16Corners: UNK!
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: @Unk - I love the bass and drum opening of this version. Overton Berry's albums are sought after by beat diggers/DJs.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: LAR!
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: I had this album for years before I noticed it was at a Doubletree Inn, like the chain.
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I've played two OBT tracks and one is from this album.
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: Was one of the Guacamolean Shuffle?
	10:09pm Funky16Corners: them
	10:10pm Erica: Yes Larry, that's what I got. It was someone who claimed he was Drew Carey from the Price Is Right. Basically he offered to send me 50,000 or 500,000 dollars in exchange for $500. But since I didn't have the money, I was insulted then he sent me codes to help me. First it was Google accounts, then he had me log out of FB to send me codes from there and that's when my account was hacked under that person's email and pictures of a blonde girl were on my account. After that the account was gone.
	10:10pm Uncle Michael: And I Lover Her from this album and the other was The Last Supper on my Jesus Christ Supercut show.
	10:11pm Erica: And that wasn't the whole story, just the general idea of it. I actually thought it really WAS Drew Carey and told my mom. I was so scared.
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: @Unk - Have you heard Roy Meriwether's Jesus Christ Superstar?
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I even put up a post and tagged you suggesting that you'd been hacked but by then the hacker had control
	10:12pm Uncle Michael: I don't think so.
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: cdn.shopify.com...
	10:13pm Erica: Oh dang Larry. I couldn't even report that hacker on time, even with a new account because it closed.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: @unk - If you go that route again I'll send you what I have. It's cool, funky jazz.
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: That was a one-shot...but thanks.
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: That Ella was right up there with Dick Haymes' Me And Bobby McGee.
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: I haven't heard that one! I'll have to check it out.
	10:16pm Erica: To close: I said no to give that guy money, but he was too impatient and wanted it right away. And since he didn't get my money, he got my FB. So if you don't lose one way, you lose another. Let this be a warning to you guys.
	10:17pm Erica: Now on a positive note, I did like that Ella Fitzgerald version of Hey Jude.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: That album has some other cool stuff on it, like her version of Sunshine of Your Love
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: The Grateful Dead may have perpetrated the worst version of Hey Jude
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Pigpen, not the Brent Midland era ones.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: As much as I love the Dead, I believe that 100%
	10:20pm Dean: Dead haters!
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: This is the version. Pickett and Duane Allman.
	10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: I was wondering if this version was going to make the cut and it did
	10:23pm chresti: Hello!
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Can't do a set of Hey Judes without the Wicked Pickett!
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: Chresti!
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: Special Council Dean, As fond as I am of Pigpen, I must agree, he really crapped up that song.
	10:29pm Funky16Corners: Franco!
	10:30pm Downward Facing Doug: My fave Hey Jude is by the South African/Nigerian supergroup Assagai. Hey, Larry!
	10:30pm doctorjazz: Awww, missed the Wicked One's Hey Jude, what a great track! Hi Larry and all you out there!
	10:31pm Erica: Hi Doc! Glad you made it.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: Downward Facing Doug! Greetings!
	10:31pm cupcakejenny: What did I miss :)
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi Mrs Grogan!
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: You missed me reminiscing about listening to Hey Jude with Larry Rover when we were kids.
	10:32pm cupcakejenny: Hello Eddie Haskell
	10:33pm doctorjazz: Never heard the Dead's Hey Jude, now I'm curious. (As a long time Dead fan, I'm perfectly aware how badly they could manage to sound at times. Part of the charm,I suppose...)
	10:33pm Funky16Corners: That's a lovely housecoat you're wearing, Mrs Cleaver!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: I love that Varitone electric sax!
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: My that's an attractive house dress you're wearing Mrs. Grogan
	10:35pm Doug Schulkind: That was actually me commenting in my Sunday morning post-yoga persona.
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: I was wondering!
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I swear I didn't see you're suck up comment, Larry, I was bust typing my own!
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: It really is the classic Eddie line
	10:37pm cupcakejenny: Lol
	10:37pm Erica: Haha! That Leave It To Beaver reference gets me.
	10:38pm Funky16Corners: Or 'Is Wallace at home?'
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, I believe it's on The Dead Murder The Classics, Volume12.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: This may be the jauntiest song about a serial killer ever written.
	10:46pm doctorjazz: I'm reminded of one of the last Dead shows I saw, 90s some time. At one point they're playing Sugar Magnolia, and Garcia is playing a full measure behind the rest of the band, took him most of a verse to get in sync (no one seemed to notice or mind, though).
	10:47pm doctorjazz: Reparata and the Delrons??? C'mon,you made this one up.
	10:48pm Funky16Corners: I listen to the Sirius Grateful Dead channel in the car and I've caught some really rough concerts from near the end.
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: That's what heroin will do to you're timing.
	10:48pm Erica: Sadly no Doc, they were for real. I'm looking at images now.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Reparata and the Delrons had a fairly substantial hit in 1964 with When a Teenager Cries
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and assembled multitude
	10:50pm doctorjazz: Had that channel with my 3 month free trial of Sirius, really liked it (but I couldn't see subscribing to yet ANOTHER monthly deal (there seems to be a similar podcast that posts Dead shows I've found on Stitcher)
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, feel free to sing along.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: obviously haven't heard me sing, Franco
	10:54pm doctorjazz: Nina, nice (I liked the Netflix Simone bio. Liked the Dead one too). Both pretty sad at the end.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe you say that because you wont hear it! but anyway...it might happen)
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: The one with Zoe Saldana or a documentary?
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: Nina's story is so tragic toward the end. It was gutting reading her biography.
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: I miss Jeff Conklin. Sunday night isn't the same without those tie-dyed nit wits to engage with.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i could sing along with the Richie Havens version, but not this one.
	10:59pm doctorjazz: It was a Documentary, think it was What Happened, Miss Simone, on Netflix.
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: I was thinking about you're after dinner sing-a-long you said would take place at che coelacanth when you were a youngster.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i do not miss Jeff's show. i liked most of the music he played though!
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Oh Ok. I can't bring myself to watch the Zoe Saldana thing, which reeks of insanity.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: Multiple versions of 'Because'? Why? BECAUSE.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Franco haha forgot about that. but there was only the one beatles album involved.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i'm somewhat glad i missed the hey jude segment! being one of my less favorite beatles songs, and being pretty lengthy. ...the one version up there i k now, though, is my favorite version. (more than the original) Wilson Pickett.
	11:06pm northguineahills: Haven't heard this Stan Getz (although his last few albums in the 80s got a little cheesy for me...., but I love his stuff beforehand, he's the one that got me into jazz....)
	11:07pm Funky16Corners: That LP "Marrakesh Express' is really nice
	11:08pm Funky16Corners: @C - You should go back and give it a listen when it's archived. Some cool versions in there.
	11:09pm cupcakejenny: The Hey Jude talk reminds me of the movie yesterday. Did anyone else see it? Hey Dude....
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Sarah does a really nice version of You Never...
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i will Larry. i think not hearing them all in a row is the way to go for me.
	11:09pm doctorjazz: Amazing pipes (Sarah)
	11:10pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, what an amazing singer
	11:17pm doctorjazz: Ah, Joe, this one was in heavy rotation back in the day.
	11:17pm Erica: Sorry I was looking up All This and WW2 as well as the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack from 1978.
	11:18pm doctorjazz: Back when you could still make a career only covering other people's songs
	11:19pm Funky16Corners: That's what pop singers used to do! It was the odel for decades, then singer-songwriters came along and upset that applecart pretty quickly.
	11:20pm Erica: Songs still get covered Larry, just not as often anymore.
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - All This and WW2 is a bizarre movie with colorized footage of World War Two set to a soundtrack of Beatles covers. The boxed set used to be all over the place in cut out bins back in the 70s. I think I paid 99 cents for my copy brand new
	11:21pm Funky16Corners: Sgt Pepper is a just a bizarre movie that some producer took a huge bath on
	11:22pm northguineahills: Which FMU dj used to do all Beatle covers once a year? I want to say EFD, but I might be incorrect.
	11:24pm Erica: Ever heard the Colleen Hewett version of "Carry That Weight" Larry?
	11:24pm Funky16Corners: I have not Erica. What's it like?
	11:25pm doctorjazz: Songs still get covered, but it's not the same. No one expected Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra to perform original material...they were listened to for their chops and ability to bring something to a song. Now a group or artist do a cover to show how hip they are, using it as a break from the mostly original material.
	11:26pm Jeff Ash: Fun fact: Gap Mangione's cover of "The End" was for years the background music played at the end of Milwaukee Brewers baseball broadcasts.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: yeh i got that ww2 box in a carton of records i paid ...$30.00 for? back in the day.i don't think i ever made it past side one.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I did not know that! Very cool!
	11:27pm Erica: @Larry It's much slower than the Dobby Dobson version I'll say.
	11:27pm Jeff Ash: I heard it for years on Brewers broadcasts before i ever put 2 and 2 together.
	11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - What genre?
	11:28pm Erica: Listen for yourself (after the show of course): www.youtube.com...
	11:29pm doctorjazz: More versus? A bridge?
	11:30pm Johnzon: feel free to think Im stupid but I never knew this song was called her majesty
	11:32pm Johnzon: I thought it was "oh madje, she's a pretty nice girl"... I thought it was something Paul wrote as a teenager about a girl he had a crush on and included as a nostalgic homage to their roots... I was aware that there was a song called "her majesty" but never made the connection. again FEEL FREE to think Im stupid.
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Know Ernie Watts from Charlie Haden's Quartet West. Great band!
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: drjazz right? i would plan to dislike that had someone told me about it... taking liberties with beatles lyrics? no! ...but i think they did a good job there
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: 1/2 my xmas presents fell into that category Larry!
	11:37pm doctorjazz: Thought it was clever too, Coel. (It was a throw away by the Beatles, Anyway?. But jarring, though.
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Johnzon!
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: @C - Almost as bad as the time my Mom came home from a business trip with a Village People album for me.
	11:41pm Erica: Haha Larry! Nowadays, people would love to have something like that.
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: Johnzon many years ago (pre-internet) there was a wfmu show host that played mostly punk and i listened religiously. he made no attempt to pronounce artists and song titles clearly and for a long time i thought husker du was "who's for do" and euthanasia was "youth in asia" and mission of burma was "mission of burminison"
	11:42pm Jeff Ash: Found the reissue of McLemore Avenue in Chicago 5 years ago. I've seen the OG once and the reissue just once since.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: I've never seen the original. I guess Booker T and the boys were selling mostly 45s.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: haha Larry! ...my father's girlfriend once gave me "hooked on classics" and i ended up kinda liking it!
	11:45pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, fun show, time to crash. Night all!
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: I honestly don't think I even took the Village People LP out of the sleeve. At the time I was in my late teens and it was so far out of my musical orbit it hurt my head thinking about it.
	11:45pm Funky16Corners: Nite Doc!
	11:46pm northguineahills: Faving this episode for future posterity, thanks Larry!
	11:46pm doctorjazz: (cropped sounds really nice with his minimal,edgy play
	11:46pm Denise in DC: Hey Larry! Loving the show. Excuse my ignorance, but where is McLemore Avenue located?
	11:47pm Franco Twinkie: Steve Cropper doing all the vocal parts with his guitar is really something.
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: In Memphis, Tennessee, runs right past Stax Studios
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: And Hi! Denise!
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: Nite NGH!
	11:48pm Denise in DC: Thanks, Larry!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: the most inappropriate xmas gifts i got were clothing. my brother always got me records and i didn't like all of them but there was some thought put into it. 'twas rare anyone else risked getting me music. (even though i usually got everyone else music)
	11:48pm northguineahills: @Larry: Been there, but it was night, so it was closed.
	11:49pm northguineahills: @coel: I've only had friends and gfs give me music as gifts....
	11:50pm Johnzon: weird that you mentioned booker t & 45's... I bought Green Onions(45) today... couldn't resist for 33&1/3 cents
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: ngh yes those are bound to be the best ones
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Denise - The album McLemore Ave featured Booker T and the MGs on the cover, crossing the street just like the Beatles on Abbey Road and the album is all covers of stuff from that album
	11:51pm Funky16Corners: @Johnzon - A wise investment!
	11:52pm Denise in DC: That's why I was wondering about where the avenue was located -- the playlist was showing the album cover, and I was loving the street view.
	11:52pm Johnzon: I also got a beatles... bootleg? Hey Jude LP
	11:53pm Funky16Corners: @Denise - I forgot the pop-up player showed the album art!
	🥁 11:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): what can i even say in a situation like this?
	11:54pm Johnzon: or I guess it was just something apple released only in the states..
	11:54pm Denise in DC: I love that feature!
	11:55pm Denise in DC: Granny! What a great idea to include your pronouns!
	11:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: "hey jude" was a legit release (legit...for capitol records that is)
	11:57pm Erica: I was wondering what happened to GST?
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: oh -@11.54 that's exactly right.
	🥁 11:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Denise: thanks! Howdy, Funky 16! This looks amazing, i'll have to dig this out of the archives. Greetings and farewell, everyone!
	11:58pm Denise in DC (she/her): Granny, you have inspired me.
	11:58pm Erica: Great to see you again Granny. Goodnight!
	11:58pm rw: Howdy! And thank you! Weirdly I was photographing a silver (actually polished aluminum) hammer today and we were singing the song.
	🥁 11:58pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): YAY! I truly appreciate it. :)
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: rw!
	🥁 11:59pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Hi, Erica, i'm having a very similar cat moment at this time.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: (...except it was capitol, not apple)
	🥁 11:59pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Appitol?
	11:59pm Funky16Corners: I think my copy of Hey Jude was on Apple.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! take care everyone
	12:00am Denise in DC (she/her): Dammitol.
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: reissue then
	12:00am coelacanth∅: (mine's on capitol)
	12:00am Funky16Corners: I don't think I had a Capitol Beatles album until Rock'n'Roll Music
	12:01am rw: D in DC, now you have to start a record label. 'Night everyone. Thanks again LG!!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Nite all!
	12:02am Denise in DC (she/her): Night! What a great show!
	12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks Denise!
	12:02am Franco Twinkie: Great!
	12:03am Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	12:03am Johnzon: yep the copy i got has the apple logo... also thought it was odd that paperback writer is on there as that song woulda been a few years old by then... I mean no complaints. great song.
	12:05am Funky16Corners: Hey Jude was a kind of odds and sods collection of (I think) non-LP singles from the breadth of their career and a few new things as well.
	12:52pm Marie: Wonderful show, Larry. Thank you!
	1:01pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Marie!
