	3:13pm StringOFperils: Sounding lowdown and greasy, F16

	3:54pm Doug Schulkind: I gave my shing an extra ling on that one.
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: Plenty to go around!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: This is the kind of record that gives go go dancers whiplash
	3:55pm Doug Schulkind: Good thing you had our lawyer vet your playlist, Larry.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: Seriously. That's the kind of boogaloo that'll send you into palpitations.
	3:57pm StringOFperils: It's a weight-loss program.
	3:59pm David Dichelle: The whip did it!
	3:59pm StringOFperils: These 45s sound fat. Much nicer than hearing them neutered down on 33 anthologies, and/or bad digital transfers.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: Drummer's going nuts on this one!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: The Geater with the Heater!
	4:04pm fleep: The Geator with the Heater!

	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey Fleep! Great minds!
	🥁 4:08pm dutchtheo: What's up, Suh Larry and the loft, parlor, cellar, broom closet and kitchen dancers
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	4:11pm Ortley: Do we get pizza with that last number?
	4:11pm Uncle Michael: Barry!
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, but it's the lowest of the low quality pizzas...
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: UM! Vocals by Mothers alumnus Ricky Lancelotti!
	4:12pm fleep: Awful pizza > no pizza
	4:13pm Ortley: Bad pizza is still pizza, if you get my drift.
	4:13pm Uncle Michael: Isn't Barry White alleged to have written it?
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: He did in fact write it, no allegedly at all!
	🥁 4:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): It is actually impossible for me to not dance to this
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a burner!
	4:15pm Uncle Michael: This selection reminds me of Dan Epstein's Facebook post.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: Old Bob used to have some pep in his step!
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: What did Dan post?
	4:16pm StringOFperils: You could wire Bob Seger and Ricky Lancelotti's vocal cords together and have a fusion reactor.
	4:17pm Uncle Michael: I just shared the post to you, Larry.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Carl Holmes and the Commanders is one of the many bands Jimi Hendrix wandered through in the early 60s (but not into the studio)
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks UM!
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: As heard on the soundtrack to 'Two On a Guillotine' with Dean Jones and Connie Stevens!
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Also featuring Jerry Martini pre-Sly and the Family Stone
	4:26pm Doug Schulkind: What is the opposite of organ failure?

	4:29pm Funky16Corners: VIBE-A-RATE!
	4:29pm Darlene: Great show! Skip are you here yet?
	4:29pm CupcakeJenny: Hi!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jenny!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hi Darlene!
	🥁 4:30pm WR: Have been working and grateful that Testify has been working giving me a funky soundtrack for the Funky Friday. I'm viberating!
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: AWWWWWWWW SHAKE!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I don't know about you guys, but I'm dancing in my chair. Gonna knock something over soon
	4:36pm Doug Schulkind: Grogan hasn't taken a breath yet.
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Plowing through those 45s!
	🥁 4:41pm WR: Roy Lee Johnson! So great.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, one of my faves!
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not, this is the same guy that had the huge hit with 'Why Can't We Live Together'
	4:47pm Doug Schulkind: I was using "Funky Me," the instro flip of "Why Can't We Live Together," as a music bed about five hours ago.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Someday I'll tell the Ahab-like story about how I had to chase that 45 all over the world, and the various and sundry mishaps along the way.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Prepare yourselves, the next one is a real brain-scrambler
	4:55pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm Kris Holmes: so many songs
	4:57pm Doug Schulkind: I'm in Pittsburgh and it's SNOWING. (That was not a veiled request to hear some Outcasts, Larry.)
	4:58pm CupcakeJenny: <3
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Snowing?!?
	4:58pm Doug Schulkind: Yup. Snow wing.
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kris! And I'm only halfway done!
	4:59pm Kris Holmes: Pretty certain you're not playing the original 1965 45 on Soul here hahaha
	4:59pm chresti: Im in San Gabriel, 88F.
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: No, I should mention that I don't have 15,000 bucks burning a hole in my pocket!
	5:00pm Kris Holmes: if i did have a spare 15k i wouldn't be spending it on a 45 either lol
	5:00pm chresti: Cooler than the last few days.
	5:00pm MoreArtistsMovies.com: Rockin' now, Darlene! Indeed I do.
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - I might grab a couple of big ticket items, then bank the rest
	5:03pm Kris Holmes: I was gonna sign up for a dance party but I'm still teaching every Friday until school breaks up so I'm glad to see you've got it covered
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: The current schedule goes to late June, so you can jump on then
	🥁 5:05pm Artie: OH, here we go!
	5:08pm Funky16Corners: One of the first big-ticket 45s I ever bought. Still a huge fave.
	5:10pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but I am here, dilated eyes and all. Annual eye exam. Routine. All good.
	5:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	5:11pm Funky16Corners: Are you guys in the snow too?
	5:13pm Kris Holmes: I love it how you play records so that it feels like I'm listening to myself DJ
	5:14pm Jeff Ash: We had a tiny dusting overnight. Freeze warning tonight.
	5:15pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - It's good to share a brain sometimes!
	5:15pm Kris Holmes: For example, I thought I was the only person who played that Flavor 45 & that Jerry Blavat!!
	5:16pm Funky16Corners: That Flavor 45 is a guaranteed party starter, though I can see why some snobs might pass on spinning a 99 cent 45.
	5:17pm Funky16Corners: I think a lot of it has to do with how expansive your conception is about what can be played in a soul set
	5:17pm Kris Holmes: agree, mine is pretty expansive
	5:18pm Funky16Corners: Same here. Some soul DJs won't touch Hammond 45s
	5:21pm Guido from Cologne: NJoying this online soul party very much! Surprised how many tracks I know. Are these the original 45 I hear?
	5:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Guido! Except for the Frank Wilson, 100% Original!
	5:23pm StringOFperils: Fantastic!
	5:24pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	5:24pm Doug Schulkind: Bassoon?!
	5:25pm Guido from Cologne: I have another version of "Eddie's My Name". Propably a reverbly remix. Who knows.
	5:25pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - I think so, or bass clarinet?
	5:27pm Funky16Corners: Lou Courtney, one of the great unsung heroes of 60s soul!
	5:29pm Funky16Corners: Doug - Central PA represent!
	5:31pm Funky16Corners: In the middle of hour three, I have opened a tall, frosty can of Narragansett lager.
	5:32pm Guido from Cologne: Cheers!
	5:33pm Doug Schulkind: Probably a bass clarinet.
	5:33pm Funky16Corners: Oooh, that hits the spot!
	5:36pm Kris Holmes: Duke Browner is classic Northern
	5:37pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, that one wakes'em up!
	5:39pm Guido from Cologne: Did you by chance curate some of the Northern Soul comps i keep? There are a plenty of though ... Miss allnighters in Cologne ... This is music for 3 in the emorning.
	5:40pm Funky16Corners: I did not, though I certainly would if given the opportunity.
	5:40pm Kris Holmes: Monitors are so underrated
	5:42pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the flip of this (which was a hit) is awful
	5:43pm Jeff Ash: Stream just cut out as Soul Time started.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: Steam just kicked in. Check your connection, LG.
	5:44pm doctorjazz: Missed a bit, just for back, but we just be on the stream.
	5:48pm Funky16Corners: Lost internet, should be back on in a few
	5:49pm Doug Schulkind: Now is the time to go have a pee before the Testify! onslaught continues.
	5:50pm Funky16Corners: Now you guys go get a beer.
	6:03pm Funky16Corners: Working on the connection, still recording the show so we have a copy for the archive
	6:06pm Funky16Corners: Doug, if you’re there, the internet is out in our area, not local to the house. I’ll finish recording the show
	6:06pm Doug Schulkind: Bummer!
	6:07pm Doug Schulkind: If I hadn’t thrown my back out, I’d jump on and take over. But I am hobbled at the moment.
	6:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Awww that's too bad, guys.
	6:08pm Funky16Corners: I'm back!
	🥁 6:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): We danced til we broke the stream!!!
	6:09pm Hopey Sockmonkey: YES!
	6:09pm Jeff Ash: Yep! Back in the groove!
	6:10pm Doug Schulkind: We broke the broke and fixed it!
	🥁 6:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The power of frEefoRM for the dEeEfoRrmM!!!!
	6:14pm Funky16Corners: All caught up!
	6:15pm Funky16Corners: I think I overheated the intertubes
	6:16pm Funky16Corners: BTW, I left my wallet in El Segundo...
	6:17pm StringOFperils: Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor internet uppity fits the funk must go through.
	6:18pm Funky16Corners: You got that right!
	6:20pm northguineahills: T'was a great day to bike! And now great sounds!
	6:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH!
	6:26pm Funky16Corners: If this sounds familiar, it's the vocal A-side of Sexy Coffee Pot
	6:30pm StringOFperils: Nice one!
	6:31pm Funky16Corners: Glad you're digging it!
	6:32pm StringOFperils: The bottom end on this Funky Jerk is like a fog of bass.
	6:32pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I think the bass player took over the mixing
	🥁 6:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): StringOFperils: Ooooh, throbbing fog!
	6:33pm StringOFperils: I like it. An envelope of bass.
	6:33pm StringOFperils: And I don't mean the fish
	6:34pm Funky16Corners: One of the great Tighten Up ripoffs
	6:35pm StringOFperils: Throbbing Fog. Did they warm up for Spinal Tap on the '73 tour?
	6:36pm Funky16Corners: With Jazz Fantasy and Puppet Show
	6:42pm Jeff Golick: ::eats popcorn::
	🥁 6:42pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): mmm, yes, i plan to make popcorn tonight and watch "Icepick to the Moon!"
	6:43pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, now I want popcorn, too
	6:45pm Jeff Golick: Now this is one of my favorites!
	6:46pm northguineahills: zanks, Larry!
	6:46pm Funky16Corners: Excellent!

	3:54pm Funky16Corners: This is the kind of record that gives go go dancers whiplash
	3:55pm Doug Schulkind: Good thing you had our lawyer vet your playlist, Larry.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: Seriously. That's the kind of boogaloo that'll send you into palpitations.
	3:57pm StringOFperils: It's a weight-loss program.
	3:59pm David Dichelle: The whip did it!
	3:59pm StringOFperils: These 45s sound fat. Much nicer than hearing them neutered down on 33 anthologies, and/or bad digital transfers.

	4:15pm Funky16Corners: What did Dan post?
	4:16pm StringOFperils: You could wire Bob Seger and Ricky Lancelotti's vocal cords together and have a fusion reactor.
	4:17pm Uncle Michael: I just shared the post to you, Larry.

	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I don't know about you guys, but I'm dancing in my chair. Gonna knock something over soon
	4:36pm Doug Schulkind: Grogan hasn't taken a breath yet.
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Plowing through those 45s!
	🥁 4:41pm WR: Roy Lee Johnson! So great.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, one of my faves!
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not, this is the same guy that had the huge hit with 'Why Can't We Live Together'
	4:47pm Doug Schulkind: I was using "Funky Me," the instro flip of "Why Can't We Live Together," as a music bed about five hours ago.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Someday I'll tell the Ahab-like story about how I had to chase that 45 all over the world, and the various and sundry mishaps along the way.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Prepare yourselves, the next one is a real brain-scrambler
	4:55pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	4:57pm Kris Holmes: so many songs
	4:57pm Doug Schulkind: I'm in Pittsburgh and it's SNOWING. (That was not a veiled request to hear some Outcasts, Larry.)
	4:58pm CupcakeJenny: <3
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Snowing?!?
	4:58pm Doug Schulkind: Yup. Snow wing.
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kris! And I'm only halfway done!
	4:59pm Kris Holmes: Pretty certain you're not playing the original 1965 45 on Soul here hahaha
	4:59pm chresti: Im in San Gabriel, 88F.
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: No, I should mention that I don't have 15,000 bucks burning a hole in my pocket!
	5:00pm Kris Holmes: if i did have a spare 15k i wouldn't be spending it on a 45 either lol
	5:00pm chresti: Cooler than the last few days.
	5:00pm MoreArtistsMovies.com: Rockin' now, Darlene! Indeed I do.
	5:01pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - I might grab a couple of big ticket items, then bank the rest
	5:03pm Kris Holmes: I was gonna sign up for a dance party but I'm still teaching every Friday until school breaks up so I'm glad to see you've got it covered
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: The current schedule goes to late June, so you can jump on then
	🥁 5:05pm Artie: OH, here we go!
	5:08pm Funky16Corners: One of the first big-ticket 45s I ever bought. Still a huge fave.
	5:10pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but I am here, dilated eyes and all. Annual eye exam. Routine. All good.
	5:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	5:11pm Funky16Corners: Are you guys in the snow too?
	5:13pm Kris Holmes: I love it how you play records so that it feels like I'm listening to myself DJ
	5:14pm Jeff Ash: We had a tiny dusting overnight. Freeze warning tonight.
	5:15pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - It's good to share a brain sometimes!
	5:15pm Kris Holmes: For example, I thought I was the only person who played that Flavor 45 & that Jerry Blavat!!
	5:16pm Funky16Corners: That Flavor 45 is a guaranteed party starter, though I can see why some snobs might pass on spinning a 99 cent 45.
	5:17pm Funky16Corners: I think a lot of it has to do with how expansive your conception is about what can be played in a soul set
	5:17pm Kris Holmes: agree, mine is pretty expansive
	5:18pm Funky16Corners: Same here. Some soul DJs won't touch Hammond 45s
	5:21pm Guido from Cologne: NJoying this online soul party very much! Surprised how many tracks I know. Are these the original 45 I hear?
	5:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey Guido! Except for the Frank Wilson, 100% Original!
	5:23pm StringOFperils: Fantastic!
	5:24pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	5:24pm Doug Schulkind: Bassoon?!
	5:25pm Guido from Cologne: I have another version of "Eddie's My Name". Propably a reverbly remix. Who knows.
	5:25pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - I think so, or bass clarinet?
	5:27pm Funky16Corners: Lou Courtney, one of the great unsung heroes of 60s soul!
	5:29pm Funky16Corners: Doug - Central PA represent!
	5:31pm Funky16Corners: In the middle of hour three, I have opened a tall, frosty can of Narragansett lager.
	5:32pm Guido from Cologne: Cheers!
	5:33pm Doug Schulkind: Probably a bass clarinet.
	5:33pm Funky16Corners: Oooh, that hits the spot!
	5:36pm Kris Holmes: Duke Browner is classic Northern
	5:37pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, that one wakes'em up!
	5:39pm Guido from Cologne: Did you by chance curate some of the Northern Soul comps i keep? There are a plenty of though ... Miss allnighters in Cologne ... This is music for 3 in the emorning.
	5:40pm Funky16Corners: I did not, though I certainly would if given the opportunity.
	5:40pm Kris Holmes: Monitors are so underrated
	5:42pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, the flip of this (which was a hit) is awful

	6:07pm Doug Schulkind: If I hadn’t thrown my back out, I’d jump on and take over. But I am hobbled at the moment.

	6:30pm StringOFperils: Nice one!
	6:31pm Funky16Corners: Glad you're digging it!
	6:32pm StringOFperils: The bottom end on this Funky Jerk is like a fog of bass.
	6:32pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I think the bass player took over the mixing
	🥁 6:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): StringOFperils: Ooooh, throbbing fog!
	6:33pm StringOFperils: I like it. An envelope of bass.
	6:33pm StringOFperils: And I don't mean the fish
	6:34pm Funky16Corners: One of the great Tighten Up ripoffs
	6:35pm StringOFperils: Throbbing Fog. Did they warm up for Spinal Tap on the '73 tour?
	6:36pm Funky16Corners: With Jazz Fantasy and Puppet Show
	6:42pm Jeff Golick: ::eats popcorn::
