	3:09pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Larry and all. Tuning in!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Candy-O!
	3:10pm Moog1 Radio: Which version would be considered the original Comin Home Baby? Mel Torme?
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kurt! That may be the first vocal, but I think there's an instrumental, maybe including the composer Ben Tucker prior to that.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Wiki says first recording was the Dave Bailey Quintet in 1961
	🥁 3:14pm David Shortell: I don't doubt that the song influenced the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".
	3:14pm Erica: The DJ is now speaking.
	3:15pm Michael 98145: Hmm - upload.wikimedia.org...
	3:19pm Derek That Guy: Larry what was the background track that was playing just now
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: @Derek - That was a loop I made of Lalo Schifrin's 'Danume Incident' the sample source for Sour Times by Portishead
	3:20pm Derek That Guy: Please and thank you 😊
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: Hi Michael!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	🥁 3:20pm WR: hello Mr. Grogan and all those to here witness the testimonials.
	3:21pm Derek That Guy: I was going to say that next hahahaha 😂 thank you I thought I'd heard it before
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	3:21pm Michael 98145: { whoa never knew that about the Portishead track }
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: Also, it's DANUBE Incident, I can't type today
	3:22pm Derek76: I forgot to sign in hah
	3:24pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Hey Derek! That's from the More Mission Impossible soundtrack, a must have!
	3:24pm Derek76: Yo Vincent how goes it brother
	3:25pm Erica: This is a groovy version of Superfly.
	3:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Okay...
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: Percy has some hidden heat on his records...
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: I think that's Joe Pass on guitar.
	3:29pm Matt from New Orleans: I like this much better than Elton
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: I enjoy it taken at the faster pace. She does a couple of EJ covers on this album.
	3:30pm doctorjazz: Hi folks!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:31pm Vincent The Soul Chef: First time hearing this... it's amazing! Hi Matt :)
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: I forget who turned me on to this album, but I dig it a lot.
	🥁 3:31pm WR: i agree Matt
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - Cheap pull, too.
	3:31pm Matt from New Orleans: I have the album Larry. I enjoy Lani’s 70s output after Brasil 66.
	3:32pm Erica: Looks like there won't be any Tony Danza jokes in the chat.
	3:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Vincent
	3:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Can’t say I’ve thought of Tony in many years Erica so I’m lost
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - As in "Hold me closer, Tony Danza..."
	3:34pm Erica: Yes Larry.
	3:35pm Matt from New Orleans: Right over my distracted head
	3:35pm Erica: It's an example of misheard lyrics.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: The drummer on this album is really good. Travis Fullerton, was in the funky/heavy band Mount Rushmore before this.
	3:37pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I think I Have a copy of that Sylvester record coming in the mail this week, fingers crossed ;)
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: Both of those Hot Band albums are great.
	3:39pm Erica: 70s bubblegum tried hard to sound like 60s music.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: That was a 60s song, cover of a Bunny Sigler record!
	3:40pm Matt from New Orleans: Oddly, Larry, I know Mr Fullerton from a Makoto Kubota & The Sunset Gang album called Dixie Fever that Ronnie Barron played on too. Heard it when I lived in Japan.
	3:40pm Erica: Same goes for covers Larry.
	3:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I still want a copy of Siouxsie's cover of this...
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - What's that stuff like?
	3:42pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s all over the place but with a blues rock spine
	3:51pm Jeff Ash: Checking in from Wisconsin!
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	3:52pm Moog1 Radio: Vinnie!
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: I keep promising myself to go back and record the record from this set with the spoken exercise instructions on it.
	3:53pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s what I was trying to grasp
	3:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Solid instrumental version and no Cathy Rich
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: If you need to hear her you can go back and sample my all-The Beat Goes On episode...
	3:55pm Matt from New Orleans: No that’s ok. I couldn’t remember what the all cover show that I couldn’t handle was and you’ve reminded me.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: I'm hearing on the grapevine that Chick Corea has passed on...
	4:01pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s been raining here so the rain songs are appropriate
	4:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Bummer about Chick RIP
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Back in the early 80s a friend and I saw Return To Forever and got backstage. I still have a program with all of their autographs on it.
	4:03pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Mediamass dot com says he's the next contestant on Celebrity Death Hoax, Larry...
	4:03pm Michael 98145: Oh, my Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (June 12, 1941 - February 9, 2021)
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: It's all over Twitter and I got teh skinny from a reliable source
	4:03pm Candy-O'67: I didn't know Mott the Hoople did this song. I do love Sonny's version of it
	4:04pm northguineahills: scheisse, chick corea, dayum....
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O, it's on the first Mott album. They make it sound like a Velvet Underground song
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Chick's family posted it on Facebook, as well
	4:05pm Candy-O'67: True!
	4:07pm Michael 98145: never heard this before now. thanks.
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Damn! :'(
	4:08pm Matt from New Orleans: Sadly one my main memories of Chick is when a German state government barred a publicly funded festival there from allowing him to appear because he was a Scientologist. Guess Xenu is waiting for him.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not, this band includes Jack Irons and Hillel Slovak of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They left RHCP to join this group because they had a record contract.
	4:16pm Michael 98145: "From a rare form of cancer" chickcorea.com
	4:16pm Threemoons: Heyo
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Threemoons!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is pretty much all the Doobie Brothers backing Carl Simon on this.
	4:18pm Erica: Never heard this version of It Keeps You Runnin' before.
	4:18pm Phillippe Bastille: oh my, this is painful
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think it was a minor hit when it came out.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Phillippe - I LOVE this song!
	4:19pm Matt from New Orleans: I was going to say it sounded sort of a Little Featish instrumental arrangement
	4:19pm Phillippe Bastille: Really?
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Really! The original version even moreso.
	4:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh, the original is great.
	4:22pm northguineahills: I somehow never got a copy of Self-Portrait...
	4:22pm Michael 98145: But the fighter still remains
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Not an essential piece of the Dylan puzzle, but it has its moments,
	4:23pm Phillippe Bastille: One of my sons worked briefly as a boxer for Amazon. 1/10 Would not recommend.
	4:24pm Phillippe Bastille: probably a different kind of boxer...
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. the modern version of slave labor. I hate those Amazon commercials where the people that work there tell us what a hoot it all is.
	4:26pm Michael 98145: curious to see how that Amazon worker unionization vote turns out.
	4:26pm Erica: Lielielie.
	4:26pm Doug Schulkind: Charley, Milo and Larry, back together again AT LAST!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - There's a big test case going on don south as we speak
	4:26pm northguineahills: haven't heard this version (actually first heard it, and many Dylan songs via Fairport)
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	4:27pm northguineahills: (British folk-rock was my gateway to Dylan)
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: These guys were from the Bay Area, but they clearly had heard the Fairport version
	4:29pm Michael 98145: " In the liner notes of Collins' 1993 Geffen Records album Just Like A Woman, a Dylan tribute, she mentions that Dylan told her that he'd written the song for her."
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Loooooove, exciting and new...come aboard!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - I believe that.
	4:30pm northguineahills: I have a couple of the Readers Digest comps...
	4:31pm Asheville Jon: come on baby, bite my tires
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - This one is like 8 or 10 LPs. Jones track is one of the few vocals on it (and one of the few tracks that appears elsewhere)
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jon!
	4:32pm Asheville Jon: howdy!
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: This was actually kind of a comeback hit for Lena.
	4:37pm northguineahills: @Larry: all of mine are box sets about that size.
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: What? A soul singer covering The Fugs in 1967?!?
	4:39pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry was just reading that the cross street at the end of my block might be renamed after Professor Longhair.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: That would be awesome!
	4:41pm Doug Schulkind: This is the best Amtrak commercial ever!
	4:41pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s currently called General Taylor which I assumed was Zachary Taylor but apparently not
	4:41pm Sem: NIcenicenice: don't often hear Havens in this mode. Thanks, Larry. And, hello.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem! This is a really cool album.
	4:42pm Andres: Afternoon! This Richie Havens is killing me! Gorgeous!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - Which one, the Spyder Turner?
	4:43pm Rick from SC: Hey Larry and all. I’ve never heard this Richie Havens cover before. Thanks
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rick!
	4:45pm Erica: You guys should check out Richie Havens' version of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Much funkier and jazzy.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: I'll look for that Erica!
	4:47pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s big in Ibiza Larry
	4:48pm StringOFperils: Quietly (under cover(s)) enjoying today's show, Larry. :)
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	4:49pm Matt from New Orleans: There’s quite a few Richie Havens recordings that are popular in Balearic circles. His version of Going Back To My Roots is probably the most popular.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: I love that song (all the versions)
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: I have a 12" by Odyssey
	4:52pm northguineahills: @Matt: I usually think of Eurotrash techno when I think of the Balearic Islands (and love most other techno)
	4:55pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a real mixed bag of what is called Balearic music. There’s plenty that I don’t care for but there’s some good stuff too.
	4:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry
	🥁 4:57pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	4:59pm northguineahills: Gracias, Larry: I do have some 50s Balearic folk music.
	5:00pm Michael 98145: yes, thank you.
	5:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	5:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another winner, sir... and glad I got to tune in live once again :)
	5:03pm Asheville Jon: thanks Larry!
	5:03pm Erica: Thanks for the annual covers show Larry.
	5:03pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	5:04pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Larry!
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Candy-O!
	🥁 5:05pm Yvang: Thanks, Larry! Great one!
	5:07pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!

	3:54pm Funky16Corners: If you need to hear her you can go back and sample my all-The Beat Goes On episode...
	3:55pm Matt from New Orleans: No that’s ok. I couldn’t remember what the all cover show that I couldn’t handle was and you’ve reminded me.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: I'm hearing on the grapevine that Chick Corea has passed on...
	4:01pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s been raining here so the rain songs are appropriate
	4:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Bummer about Chick RIP
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Back in the early 80s a friend and I saw Return To Forever and got backstage. I still have a program with all of their autographs on it.
	4:03pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Mediamass dot com says he's the next contestant on Celebrity Death Hoax, Larry...
	4:03pm Michael 98145: Oh, my Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (June 12, 1941 - February 9, 2021)
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: It's all over Twitter and I got teh skinny from a reliable source
	4:03pm Candy-O'67: I didn't know Mott the Hoople did this song. I do love Sonny's version of it
	4:04pm northguineahills: scheisse, chick corea, dayum....
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: @Candy-O, it's on the first Mott album. They make it sound like a Velvet Underground song
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Chick's family posted it on Facebook, as well
	4:05pm Candy-O'67: True!
	4:07pm Michael 98145: never heard this before now. thanks.
	4:07pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Damn! :'(
	4:08pm Matt from New Orleans: Sadly one my main memories of Chick is when a German state government barred a publicly funded festival there from allowing him to appear because he was a Scientologist. Guess Xenu is waiting for him.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not, this band includes Jack Irons and Hillel Slovak of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They left RHCP to join this group because they had a record contract.
	4:16pm Michael 98145: "From a rare form of cancer" chickcorea.com
	4:16pm Threemoons: Heyo
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Threemoons!
	4:18pm Funky16Corners: BTW, this is pretty much all the Doobie Brothers backing Carl Simon on this.
	4:18pm Erica: Never heard this version of It Keeps You Runnin' before.
	4:18pm Phillippe Bastille: oh my, this is painful
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I think it was a minor hit when it came out.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Phillippe - I LOVE this song!
	4:19pm Matt from New Orleans: I was going to say it sounded sort of a Little Featish instrumental arrangement
	4:19pm Phillippe Bastille: Really?
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Really! The original version even moreso.
	4:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh, the original is great.
	4:22pm northguineahills: I somehow never got a copy of Self-Portrait...
	4:22pm Michael 98145: But the fighter still remains
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - Not an essential piece of the Dylan puzzle, but it has its moments,
	4:23pm Phillippe Bastille: One of my sons worked briefly as a boxer for Amazon. 1/10 Would not recommend.
	4:24pm Phillippe Bastille: probably a different kind of boxer...
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: Yeah. the modern version of slave labor. I hate those Amazon commercials where the people that work there tell us what a hoot it all is.
	4:26pm Michael 98145: curious to see how that Amazon worker unionization vote turns out.
	4:26pm Erica: Lielielie.
	4:26pm Doug Schulkind: Charley, Milo and Larry, back together again AT LAST!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - There's a big test case going on don south as we speak
	4:26pm northguineahills: haven't heard this version (actually first heard it, and many Dylan songs via Fairport)
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	4:27pm northguineahills: (British folk-rock was my gateway to Dylan)
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: These guys were from the Bay Area, but they clearly had heard the Fairport version
	4:29pm Michael 98145: " In the liner notes of Collins' 1993 Geffen Records album Just Like A Woman, a Dylan tribute, she mentions that Dylan told her that he'd written the song for her."
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Loooooove, exciting and new...come aboard!
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: @Michael - I believe that.
	4:30pm northguineahills: I have a couple of the Readers Digest comps...
	4:31pm Asheville Jon: come on baby, bite my tires
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - This one is like 8 or 10 LPs. Jones track is one of the few vocals on it (and one of the few tracks that appears elsewhere)
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jon!
	4:32pm Asheville Jon: howdy!
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: This was actually kind of a comeback hit for Lena.
	4:37pm northguineahills: @Larry: all of mine are box sets about that size.
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: What? A soul singer covering The Fugs in 1967?!?
	4:39pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry was just reading that the cross street at the end of my block might be renamed after Professor Longhair.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: That would be awesome!
	4:41pm Doug Schulkind: This is the best Amtrak commercial ever!
	4:41pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s currently called General Taylor which I assumed was Zachary Taylor but apparently not
	4:41pm Sem: NIcenicenice: don't often hear Havens in this mode. Thanks, Larry. And, hello.
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem! This is a really cool album.
	4:42pm Andres: Afternoon! This Richie Havens is killing me! Gorgeous!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - Which one, the Spyder Turner?
	4:43pm Rick from SC: Hey Larry and all. I’ve never heard this Richie Havens cover before. Thanks
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rick!
	4:45pm Erica: You guys should check out Richie Havens' version of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Much funkier and jazzy.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: I'll look for that Erica!
	4:47pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s big in Ibiza Larry
	4:48pm StringOFperils: Quietly (under cover(s)) enjoying today's show, Larry. :)
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey String!
	4:49pm Matt from New Orleans: There’s quite a few Richie Havens recordings that are popular in Balearic circles. His version of Going Back To My Roots is probably the most popular.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: I love that song (all the versions)
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: I have a 12" by Odyssey
	4:52pm northguineahills: @Matt: I usually think of Eurotrash techno when I think of the Balearic Islands (and love most other techno)
	4:55pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a real mixed bag of what is called Balearic music. There’s plenty that I don’t care for but there’s some good stuff too.
	4:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry
	🥁 4:57pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	4:59pm northguineahills: Gracias, Larry: I do have some 50s Balearic folk music.

	5:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another winner, sir... and glad I got to tune in live once again :)

	5:03pm Erica: Thanks for the annual covers show Larry.
