	10:12pm Kris Holmes: yes i am
	🥁 10:13pm Candy-O'67: That's what I thought. We chatted before when you were filling in on a show. I'm in Austin :)
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Funky Butt on the flip is fun too

	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Right, yes I remember you're in Austin, I've heard the name Tropicana Joe but I don't know either of those guys.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Heya Jason!
	🥁 10:22pm Candy-O'67: They are one in the same. His real name is Paulo. Just thought you might know him since you both are DJ's. He's from Italy originally.
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: Ha, that's confusing. I don't know where I remember the name from
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: Oh, I think one of the local DJs who gets a lot of his 45s from me mentioned him, the Italian part rings a bell
	🥁 10:29pm Candy-O'67: Cool! He's a super nice guy and spins great tunes, too
	🥁 10:30pm Candy-O'67: Really diggin' this Van Brussard song
	10:30pm Kris Holmes: Cool, I'll keep an eye out if any of us ever get to DJ out again lol
	🥁 10:31pm Candy-O'67: Right! Hopefully soon! I've never gone this long without seeing live music or going to a DJ night somewhere
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, maybe I just retire for good lol
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I dig Vin Broussard. I saw him in the late 90s a few times when I was coming down for Jazz Fest while in college.
	10:36pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, I kept the label typos intact on the playlist hehehehe
	10:38pm Matt from New Orleans: PP released a new single late last year. It was solid.
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: Kris, the last day of June, the bugs are biting and they won't answer the phone at the pizza place! Maybe the flying burrito truck is out tonight.
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: she's a fantastic singer
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: Oh hey Franco. Definitely buggy
	🥁 10:40pm Candy-O'67: That's cool, Matt. I love going to Jazz Fest. I was supposed to go this year. Was so bummed it didn't happen. I've been a few times. I love Ponderosa Stomp, too. Wish that would come back when Covid is over, but I think it's done
	🥁 10:41pm Candy-O'67: Hey Franco! Hope you get your burrito!
	🥁 10:41pm Candy-O'67: PP Arnold is amazing, Kris!
	10:42pm StringOFperils: Her recording of Angel of the Morning is excellent.
	🥁 10:42pm Candy-O'67: Oooooh, I bet it is, SOP
	10:43pm Kris Holmes: definitely one of my fave versions, her duet with Rod Stewart on Come Home Baby is also great!
	🥁 10:44pm Candy-O'67: Matt, before Covid, I frequented New Orleans quite a bit because my sis, brother-in-law and niece live in Metairie
	10:45pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool. I can’t imagine living in Metairie. An area that would elect David Duke is one I could never live in.
	10:45pm StringOFperils: Yikes!!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: I must say Kris, I like this angle you pursuing.
	10:47pm Kris Holmes: which angle?
	10:47pm StringOFperils: 360 degrees of great!
	10:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Oblique
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Rocked up and tripped out man!
	10:50pm Matt from New Orleans: Is it olallieberry season yet Franco?
	🥁 10:50pm Candy-O'67: Well, her husband is from there and she teaches at Metairy Academy. So, convenience.
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Yes you have Kris.
	10:51pm Matt from New Orleans: I hear you. I wasn’t judging your family.
	🥁 10:52pm Candy-O'67: Oh, I didn't take it that way. All good :)
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, I do believe. My holy grail right now is the elusive Boysenberry.
	10:57pm Kris Holmes: We went & got some steaks & I grilled up an Argentinean Asado dinner but while at the store also grabbed some real nice plums.
	🥁 10:57pm Candy-O'67: That sounds delish
	10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Those are good too. I remember going to Knott’s Berry Farm as a kid in the mid 80s and eating so many things involving boysenberries.
	🥁 10:59pm Candy-O'67: Did you grow up in CA, Matt?
	10:59pm Kris Holmes: I remember going to Knotts Berry Farm as a kid & feeling so sick after Montezuma's Revenge or whatever the huge roller coaster was called!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: No I have cousins that lived in LA and we used to visit most Christmas breaks in the 80s.
	11:01pm Kris Holmes: But I also remember the berries!!! The little jars of jam!
	🥁 11:01pm Candy-O'67: Nice horns in People Sure Act Funny
	🥁 11:02pm Candy-O'67: Cool. I lived out there 14 1/2 years
	11:03pm Matt from New Orleans: They developed the Boysenberry that’s why I tangented to Knotts
	🥁 11:03pm Candy-O'67: I grew up in Houston
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: I miss LA
	🥁 11:04pm Candy-O'67: That's a neat fact. Didn't know that
	11:04pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s another place I visited in the 90s twice and said I’d never go back. But now I actually like Houston. It’s much more cosmopolitan than it was.
	11:08pm Matt from New Orleans: It was called The Corkscrew. It’s gone now. That shit was too much for me. I went on once and that was enough for me. I like old school roller coasters with drops. I don’t like going upside down.
	🥁 11:10pm JtotheK: I haven't listened to this Domino track in ages, nice to hear it!
	🥁 11:10pm Candy-O'67: It has blossomed some since then. I grew up on the south side burbs, Seabrook area, and moved to the Montrose the last 8 years I was there. It was a lot of fun in that area back in the '90's. It was very artsy and funky then, all the cool clubs around that area. I left in '99.
	11:10pm Kris Holmes: Oh DUDE, the Corkscrew, that's it, terrifying aged 11!!!!
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: I remember going to Knotts Berry Farm as a young adult and getting stoned in the parking lot and heading straight to Camp Snoopy to jump around in a cage full of balls to the horror of all the parents with there little kids waiting in line.
	🥁 11:10pm Candy-O'67: That was a funny story, Kris!
	11:10pm Matt from New Orleans: Good for you Franco
	11:11pm Kris Holmes: Houston's OK if you like the feeling of living in someone's mouth.
	🥁 11:11pm Candy-O'67: Haha, so true, Kris! I could never live in that humidity again!
	🥁 11:11pm Candy-O'67: I was so happy to finally escape!
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Our go to place for the vomit experience on the way home was The Pike in Long Beach.
	🥁 11:12pm Candy-O'67: I miss SoCal, too, sometimes. I mostly miss my friends. I usually go back a couple of times a year on a working trip, but not since Covid. Don't know when I'll be going back for that now.
	11:13pm still b/p: When boysenberry came up in a conversation recently, I took the opportunity to introduce someone to Punky's Dilemma.
	11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Normally I have my summer coping strategies but they’re all superfluous this year. Being in my apartment in the late afternoon blows.
	🥁 11:13pm WR: The Wikipedia page for boysenberry is interesting. It ends: As of 2016, New Zealand was the world's largest producer and exporter of boysenberries.
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: Where did you live in Cali Candy?
	🥁 11:13pm Candy-O'67: Ah, the old Pike in LBC. I lived in LBC 7 years, Franco. The Pike was already gone by the time I moved there, though. I still visit Long Beach a lot. Most of my closest friends out there live there.
	11:14pm Kris Holmes: I love LBC, this time last year I was DJing there
	🥁 11:14pm Candy-O'67: I lived in Costa Mesa, too, for 7 1/2 years. Just moved down there to be closer to the salon/spas I worked in in Rancho Santa Margarita and Newport B.
	🥁 11:15pm Candy-O'67: I love Long Beach, too. I spent a lot of time in LA going to tons of shows, too. Lots of friends up in LA also.
	🥁 11:16pm Candy-O'67: Yay! Shocking Blue! Happy to hear you playing them. Love them!!
	🥁 11:17pm Candy-O'67: I really dig Hot Sand by them, too. That song is smokin'!!
	11:17pm Kris Holmes: i think that's on the flip?
	🥁 11:18pm Candy-O'67: That's nice! I don't have this 45. So, I don't know ;)
	11:18pm Matt from New Orleans: I always call this dude wingding
	🥁 11:19pm Candy-O'67: Sounds appropriate, Matt!
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: I apparently saw Mr Winding as a toddler but have no recollection of it
	🥁 11:21pm Candy-O'67: That's fantastic! My parents took me to a lot of shows when I was a kid, too
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: This was probably before your time Candy, but there was the old Fox Theater in long Beach on Ocean Ave would have great shows. I saw the Flying Brothers and The New Riders with a fantastic light show called Photon Drive behind them. I was sixteen and it was the first time I ever smoked hash.
	11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Bobby recorded it first. Dave Bartholomew wrote it with Roy Hayes and somehow Fats got a piece of the writing when he recorded it two years later.
	🥁 11:29pm Candy-O'67: Yep, I think that place was gone by the time I arrived. I moved there in Sept. of '99. I used to live on Cherry Ave. one block from Ocean for a while. That sounds like an amazing show!
	🥁 11:30pm Candy-O'67: I used to love to go to the Foothill when I first moved there. It closed within the first couple years of me moving there.
	🥁 11:31pm Candy-O'67: Look at you, Matt - you know your history! :)
	🥁 11:32pm Candy-O'67: Or you know your music history, I should say
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Big reveal Kris, when I first met Chresti, she lived at the top of Echo Park Ave. One hot summer afternoon I went to her house and we got real high in her back yard, then drove down to the lake to sit on the grass. She didn't talk and I just stared at her. Now we argue about pizza!
	🥁 11:33pm Candy-O'67: Is Chresti your lady, Franco? :))
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yup.
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: Aww, we walked there & sat on a bench by the lake. I was staying at Ridge Way, just a few blocks from the lake & Echo Park Ave
	11:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve always been fascinated Franco by the locked in neighborhood across the 5 from there.
	11:36pm Franco Twinkie: Candy, remember The Pioneer? I think it was on Fourth Street - a log cabin kind of place.
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Frog Town?
	🥁 11:38pm Candy-O'67: I've had friends that have lived in Echo Park and Silver Lake, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock - that whole area of L.A. Spent a lot of time up there. One of my best friends still lives in Silverlake...barely. All the developers are trying to push them out of their compound, they call it. They've been fighting them in court for a while. They've still been able to stay due to Covid.
	11:38pm chresti: I worked in Lakewood in 84, after work I'd go to Belmont Shore area to pick up coffee.
	🥁 11:38pm Candy-O'67: Franco, do you mean The Prospector? That place is a blast!!
	🥁 11:40pm Candy-O'67: Nice, chresti! I used to ride my beach cruiser all up and down LB by the beach, from Belmont Shore to DT. Used to go out to eat a lot down in the Shore, too.
	11:40pm chresti: Ha, I always stop talking when I smoke strong pot. That's why I eat it instead.
	11:41pm Matt from New Orleans: Frogtown/Elysian Valley
	🥁 11:41pm Candy-O'67: Prospector is on the corner of 7th and Junipero. Cool old steakhouse with bar in the front - lots of cool bands have played there
	🥁 11:43pm Candy-O'67: Haha, chresti! That's part of the reason I had to quit pot many years ago - couldn't communicate after a while! Paranoia kept kicking in!
	11:43pm Kris Holmes: dammit styrene distortion
	11:43pm chresti: We lived on Echo Park and Fargo, from 83 to 85.
	🥁 11:43pm WR: Interesting, to look at the chart performance of Aretha's and Covay's releases of see saw. Aretha: #9 R&B, #14 Pop. Covay #5 R&B, #44 Pop. Like a see saw.
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, The Prospector! A friend of ours who lived on Junipero would play there. Which was nice, I could go to the show, drink, walk back to his house and crash on the couch, then drive back to Pasadena in the morning.
	🥁 11:44pm Candy-O'67: That is interesting, WR
	🥁 11:45pm Candy-O'67: What band? I may know them. Several of my friends are in LB bands
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: Chris Cacavas.
	🥁 11:46pm Candy-O'67: Nope. Darn, was hoping it was one of my friends!
	🥁 11:47pm WR: Sunny & the Sunliners. Is it 2AM at Mi Tierra?
	11:48pm Kris Holmes: Mi Tierra got Covid & had to shut down :(
	🥁 11:48pm Candy-O'67: WR, you in San Antonio, too?
	🥁 11:51pm Candy-O'67: Ooh, lovin' this ZZ Hill!
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: I still haven't resolved the dinner thing. Once I start yapping, everything else goes into the trash.
	11:52pm StringOFperils: Yeah, this is pretty great.
	🥁 11:52pm Candy-O'67: Ain't it, SOP?
	11:52pm StringOFperils: sounds like an Allen Toussaint record
	🥁 11:52pm Candy-O'67: I have nights like that, Franco...
	🥁 11:53pm Candy-O'67: Gotta love anything Allen Toussaint put out
	11:53pm StringOFperils: He's a maestro, for sure.
	🥁 11:53pm Candy-O'67: I'm jumping out of my chair right now - Archie Bell & The Drells! YAAAAAAS!
	11:54pm StringOFperils: **was
	11:54pm StringOFperils: Interesting reading about y'all's southern lives. A different world
	11:54pm Kris Holmes: Archie is a fan of Mi Tierra, he's been eating there since the 60s
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: You are correct SOP
	🥁 11:55pm Candy-O'67: Nice new Avatar pic, by the way, SOP. You kinda look like Buddy Holly here
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: About ZZ Hill
	🥁 11:55pm Candy-O'67: I believe that. I met him last year at the record swap at the Tighten Up weekender. He and his wife were so nice!
	🥁 11:57pm WR: I lived in San Antonio 73-75. It's been a long time since my last visit.
	11:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. Enjoyed the tunes. Have a good night everyone.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Alex Chilton once and he talked about when The Box Tops played with Archie Bell & The Drells. Alex demonstrated how Archie would do this move like he was working a screw driver when he was singing Tighten Up.
	🥁 11:59pm Candy-O'67: It's true! He put on a great show last year at the weekender!
	11:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks for confirming The Allen Toussaint thing for me, Matt. :) Candy-O....Buddy Holly?? Ha ha.
	🥁 11:59pm Candy-O'67: But it's true! ;)
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Kris!
	🥁 12:00am Candy-O'67: Thanks Kris! Loved the show!
	12:00am StringOFperils: Nice show Kris! Thanks!!
	12:01am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Kris! Now i must go out and find some hot food.
	12:01am Kris Holmes: thanks team!
	🥁 12:01am WR: Cheers Kris. Great show as always. Laters all y'all.

	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Right, yes I remember you're in Austin, I've heard the name Tropicana Joe but I don't know either of those guys.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Heya Jason!
	🥁 10:22pm Candy-O'67: They are one in the same. His real name is Paulo. Just thought you might know him since you both are DJ's. He's from Italy originally.
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: Ha, that's confusing. I don't know where I remember the name from
	10:27pm Kris Holmes: Oh, I think one of the local DJs who gets a lot of his 45s from me mentioned him, the Italian part rings a bell
	🥁 10:29pm Candy-O'67: Cool! He's a super nice guy and spins great tunes, too
	🥁 10:30pm Candy-O'67: Really diggin' this Van Brussard song
	10:30pm Kris Holmes: Cool, I'll keep an eye out if any of us ever get to DJ out again lol
	🥁 10:31pm Candy-O'67: Right! Hopefully soon! I've never gone this long without seeing live music or going to a DJ night somewhere
	10:35pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, maybe I just retire for good lol
	10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I dig Vin Broussard. I saw him in the late 90s a few times when I was coming down for Jazz Fest while in college.
	10:36pm Kris Holmes: Yeah, I kept the label typos intact on the playlist hehehehe
	10:38pm Matt from New Orleans: PP released a new single late last year. It was solid.
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: Kris, the last day of June, the bugs are biting and they won't answer the phone at the pizza place! Maybe the flying burrito truck is out tonight.
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: she's a fantastic singer
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: Oh hey Franco. Definitely buggy
	🥁 10:40pm Candy-O'67: That's cool, Matt. I love going to Jazz Fest. I was supposed to go this year. Was so bummed it didn't happen. I've been a few times. I love Ponderosa Stomp, too. Wish that would come back when Covid is over, but I think it's done
	🥁 10:41pm Candy-O'67: Hey Franco! Hope you get your burrito!
	🥁 10:41pm Candy-O'67: PP Arnold is amazing, Kris!
	10:42pm StringOFperils: Her recording of Angel of the Morning is excellent.
	🥁 10:42pm Candy-O'67: Oooooh, I bet it is, SOP
	10:43pm Kris Holmes: definitely one of my fave versions, her duet with Rod Stewart on Come Home Baby is also great!
	🥁 10:44pm Candy-O'67: Matt, before Covid, I frequented New Orleans quite a bit because my sis, brother-in-law and niece live in Metairie
	10:45pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool. I can’t imagine living in Metairie. An area that would elect David Duke is one I could never live in.
	10:45pm StringOFperils: Yikes!!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: I must say Kris, I like this angle you pursuing.
	10:47pm Kris Holmes: which angle?
	10:47pm StringOFperils: 360 degrees of great!
	10:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Oblique
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Rocked up and tripped out man!
	10:50pm Matt from New Orleans: Is it olallieberry season yet Franco?
	🥁 10:50pm Candy-O'67: Well, her husband is from there and she teaches at Metairy Academy. So, convenience.
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Yes you have Kris.
	10:51pm Matt from New Orleans: I hear you. I wasn’t judging your family.
	🥁 10:52pm Candy-O'67: Oh, I didn't take it that way. All good :)
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, I do believe. My holy grail right now is the elusive Boysenberry.
	10:57pm Kris Holmes: We went & got some steaks & I grilled up an Argentinean Asado dinner but while at the store also grabbed some real nice plums.
	🥁 10:57pm Candy-O'67: That sounds delish
	10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Those are good too. I remember going to Knott’s Berry Farm as a kid in the mid 80s and eating so many things involving boysenberries.
	🥁 10:59pm Candy-O'67: Did you grow up in CA, Matt?
	10:59pm Kris Holmes: I remember going to Knotts Berry Farm as a kid & feeling so sick after Montezuma's Revenge or whatever the huge roller coaster was called!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: No I have cousins that lived in LA and we used to visit most Christmas breaks in the 80s.
	11:01pm Kris Holmes: But I also remember the berries!!! The little jars of jam!
	🥁 11:01pm Candy-O'67: Nice horns in People Sure Act Funny
	🥁 11:02pm Candy-O'67: Cool. I lived out there 14 1/2 years
	11:03pm Matt from New Orleans: They developed the Boysenberry that’s why I tangented to Knotts
	🥁 11:03pm Candy-O'67: I grew up in Houston
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: I miss LA
	🥁 11:04pm Candy-O'67: That's a neat fact. Didn't know that
	11:04pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s another place I visited in the 90s twice and said I’d never go back. But now I actually like Houston. It’s much more cosmopolitan than it was.
	11:08pm Matt from New Orleans: It was called The Corkscrew. It’s gone now. That shit was too much for me. I went on once and that was enough for me. I like old school roller coasters with drops. I don’t like going upside down.
	🥁 11:10pm JtotheK: I haven't listened to this Domino track in ages, nice to hear it!
	🥁 11:10pm Candy-O'67: It has blossomed some since then. I grew up on the south side burbs, Seabrook area, and moved to the Montrose the last 8 years I was there. It was a lot of fun in that area back in the '90's. It was very artsy and funky then, all the cool clubs around that area. I left in '99.
	11:10pm Kris Holmes: Oh DUDE, the Corkscrew, that's it, terrifying aged 11!!!!
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: I remember going to Knotts Berry Farm as a young adult and getting stoned in the parking lot and heading straight to Camp Snoopy to jump around in a cage full of balls to the horror of all the parents with there little kids waiting in line.
	🥁 11:10pm Candy-O'67: That was a funny story, Kris!
	11:10pm Matt from New Orleans: Good for you Franco
	11:11pm Kris Holmes: Houston's OK if you like the feeling of living in someone's mouth.
	🥁 11:11pm Candy-O'67: Haha, so true, Kris! I could never live in that humidity again!
	🥁 11:11pm Candy-O'67: I was so happy to finally escape!
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Our go to place for the vomit experience on the way home was The Pike in Long Beach.
	🥁 11:12pm Candy-O'67: I miss SoCal, too, sometimes. I mostly miss my friends. I usually go back a couple of times a year on a working trip, but not since Covid. Don't know when I'll be going back for that now.
	11:13pm still b/p: When boysenberry came up in a conversation recently, I took the opportunity to introduce someone to Punky's Dilemma.
	11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Normally I have my summer coping strategies but they’re all superfluous this year. Being in my apartment in the late afternoon blows.
	🥁 11:13pm WR: The Wikipedia page for boysenberry is interesting. It ends: As of 2016, New Zealand was the world's largest producer and exporter of boysenberries.
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: Where did you live in Cali Candy?
	🥁 11:13pm Candy-O'67: Ah, the old Pike in LBC. I lived in LBC 7 years, Franco. The Pike was already gone by the time I moved there, though. I still visit Long Beach a lot. Most of my closest friends out there live there.
	11:14pm Kris Holmes: I love LBC, this time last year I was DJing there
	🥁 11:14pm Candy-O'67: I lived in Costa Mesa, too, for 7 1/2 years. Just moved down there to be closer to the salon/spas I worked in in Rancho Santa Margarita and Newport B.
	🥁 11:15pm Candy-O'67: I love Long Beach, too. I spent a lot of time in LA going to tons of shows, too. Lots of friends up in LA also.
	🥁 11:16pm Candy-O'67: Yay! Shocking Blue! Happy to hear you playing them. Love them!!
	🥁 11:17pm Candy-O'67: I really dig Hot Sand by them, too. That song is smokin'!!
	11:17pm Kris Holmes: i think that's on the flip?
	🥁 11:18pm Candy-O'67: That's nice! I don't have this 45. So, I don't know ;)
	11:18pm Matt from New Orleans: I always call this dude wingding
	🥁 11:19pm Candy-O'67: Sounds appropriate, Matt!
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: I apparently saw Mr Winding as a toddler but have no recollection of it
	🥁 11:21pm Candy-O'67: That's fantastic! My parents took me to a lot of shows when I was a kid, too
	11:25pm Franco Twinkie: This was probably before your time Candy, but there was the old Fox Theater in long Beach on Ocean Ave would have great shows. I saw the Flying Brothers and The New Riders with a fantastic light show called Photon Drive behind them. I was sixteen and it was the first time I ever smoked hash.
	11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Bobby recorded it first. Dave Bartholomew wrote it with Roy Hayes and somehow Fats got a piece of the writing when he recorded it two years later.
	🥁 11:29pm Candy-O'67: Yep, I think that place was gone by the time I arrived. I moved there in Sept. of '99. I used to live on Cherry Ave. one block from Ocean for a while. That sounds like an amazing show!
	🥁 11:30pm Candy-O'67: I used to love to go to the Foothill when I first moved there. It closed within the first couple years of me moving there.
	🥁 11:31pm Candy-O'67: Look at you, Matt - you know your history! :)
	🥁 11:32pm Candy-O'67: Or you know your music history, I should say
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Big reveal Kris, when I first met Chresti, she lived at the top of Echo Park Ave. One hot summer afternoon I went to her house and we got real high in her back yard, then drove down to the lake to sit on the grass. She didn't talk and I just stared at her. Now we argue about pizza!
	🥁 11:33pm Candy-O'67: Is Chresti your lady, Franco? :))
	11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yup.
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: Aww, we walked there & sat on a bench by the lake. I was staying at Ridge Way, just a few blocks from the lake & Echo Park Ave
	11:36pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve always been fascinated Franco by the locked in neighborhood across the 5 from there.
	11:36pm Franco Twinkie: Candy, remember The Pioneer? I think it was on Fourth Street - a log cabin kind of place.
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Frog Town?
	🥁 11:38pm Candy-O'67: I've had friends that have lived in Echo Park and Silver Lake, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock - that whole area of L.A. Spent a lot of time up there. One of my best friends still lives in Silverlake...barely. All the developers are trying to push them out of their compound, they call it. They've been fighting them in court for a while. They've still been able to stay due to Covid.
	11:38pm chresti: I worked in Lakewood in 84, after work I'd go to Belmont Shore area to pick up coffee.
	🥁 11:38pm Candy-O'67: Franco, do you mean The Prospector? That place is a blast!!
	🥁 11:40pm Candy-O'67: Nice, chresti! I used to ride my beach cruiser all up and down LB by the beach, from Belmont Shore to DT. Used to go out to eat a lot down in the Shore, too.
	11:40pm chresti: Ha, I always stop talking when I smoke strong pot. That's why I eat it instead.
	11:41pm Matt from New Orleans: Frogtown/Elysian Valley
	🥁 11:41pm Candy-O'67: Prospector is on the corner of 7th and Junipero. Cool old steakhouse with bar in the front - lots of cool bands have played there
	🥁 11:43pm Candy-O'67: Haha, chresti! That's part of the reason I had to quit pot many years ago - couldn't communicate after a while! Paranoia kept kicking in!
	11:43pm Kris Holmes: dammit styrene distortion
	11:43pm chresti: We lived on Echo Park and Fargo, from 83 to 85.
	🥁 11:43pm WR: Interesting, to look at the chart performance of Aretha's and Covay's releases of see saw. Aretha: #9 R&B, #14 Pop. Covay #5 R&B, #44 Pop. Like a see saw.
	11:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, The Prospector! A friend of ours who lived on Junipero would play there. Which was nice, I could go to the show, drink, walk back to his house and crash on the couch, then drive back to Pasadena in the morning.
	🥁 11:44pm Candy-O'67: That is interesting, WR
	🥁 11:45pm Candy-O'67: What band? I may know them. Several of my friends are in LB bands
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: Chris Cacavas.
	🥁 11:46pm Candy-O'67: Nope. Darn, was hoping it was one of my friends!
	🥁 11:47pm WR: Sunny & the Sunliners. Is it 2AM at Mi Tierra?
	11:48pm Kris Holmes: Mi Tierra got Covid & had to shut down :(
	🥁 11:48pm Candy-O'67: WR, you in San Antonio, too?
	🥁 11:51pm Candy-O'67: Ooh, lovin' this ZZ Hill!
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: I still haven't resolved the dinner thing. Once I start yapping, everything else goes into the trash.
	11:52pm StringOFperils: Yeah, this is pretty great.
	🥁 11:52pm Candy-O'67: Ain't it, SOP?
	11:52pm StringOFperils: sounds like an Allen Toussaint record
	🥁 11:52pm Candy-O'67: I have nights like that, Franco...
	🥁 11:53pm Candy-O'67: Gotta love anything Allen Toussaint put out
	11:53pm StringOFperils: He's a maestro, for sure.
	🥁 11:53pm Candy-O'67: I'm jumping out of my chair right now - Archie Bell & The Drells! YAAAAAAS!
	11:54pm StringOFperils: **was
	11:54pm StringOFperils: Interesting reading about y'all's southern lives. A different world
	11:54pm Kris Holmes: Archie is a fan of Mi Tierra, he's been eating there since the 60s
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: You are correct SOP
	🥁 11:55pm Candy-O'67: Nice new Avatar pic, by the way, SOP. You kinda look like Buddy Holly here
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: About ZZ Hill
	🥁 11:55pm Candy-O'67: I believe that. I met him last year at the record swap at the Tighten Up weekender. He and his wife were so nice!
	🥁 11:57pm WR: I lived in San Antonio 73-75. It's been a long time since my last visit.
	11:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris. Enjoyed the tunes. Have a good night everyone.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Alex Chilton once and he talked about when The Box Tops played with Archie Bell & The Drells. Alex demonstrated how Archie would do this move like he was working a screw driver when he was singing Tighten Up.
	🥁 11:59pm Candy-O'67: It's true! He put on a great show last year at the weekender!
	11:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks for confirming The Allen Toussaint thing for me, Matt. :) Candy-O....Buddy Holly?? Ha ha.
	🥁 11:59pm Candy-O'67: But it's true! ;)
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Kris!
	🥁 12:00am Candy-O'67: Thanks Kris! Loved the show!
	12:00am StringOFperils: Nice show Kris! Thanks!!
	12:01am Franco Twinkie: Thanks Kris! Now i must go out and find some hot food.
	12:01am Kris Holmes: thanks team!
