WFMU: Testify! with Larry Grogan: Playlist from June 30, 2022

Listener comments!
	2:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Let the education commence... god afternoon. I'm about to go make dinner. Crabmeat and shrimp stuffed mushroom caps, Baltimore style Yat Gaw Mein and fish fry... feeling adventurous.
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	2:56pm Funky16Corners: That all sounds good!
	3:01pm Funky16Corners: Tech difficulties please stand by
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Hey Larry and all you out there!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: OK let's go...
	3:03pm spodiodi: greetings, Larry and all!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! Spodiodi!
	🥁 3:05pm WR: Hi Larry, doc, spodiodi. Vincent, sounds like you cooking up great meal. Yum.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a major feast! Gimme some!
	3:06pm spodiodi: is this an original? i know a vocal version from another show (on KCSM -- played by Clifford Brown Jr., every father's day) -- either way it's good to hear this
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: This is cover of the Horace Silver original
	3:07pm spodiodi: ah okay, that makes sense. thanks!
	3:07pm Erica: Hi Testifiers. A bit late but better than never.
	3:07pm doctorjazz: This is a Horacee Silver original.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:08pm doctorjazz: Horace...
	3:08pm spodiodi: hey WR, doctorjazz, Vincent and Erica!
	3:08pm Jeff Ash: Good afternoon from Wisconsin!
	3:09pm spodiodi: Jeff too! (ok back to work for me... listening along though)
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Jeff!
	3:09pm doctorjazz: Became a jazz standard, many covers (Steely Dan even borrowed the bass riff, Ricky Don't Lose That Number)
	3:10pm spodiodi: ah so, very cool, doctorjazz! (thank you too for the confirm)
	🥁 3:10pm David Shortell: I never got far into Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima’s multivolume saga “Kozure Ōkami” AKA “Lone Wolf and Cub”, an obvious influence of “The Mandalorian”. Did it also influence the 1980 film “Gloria”? I don’t know if John Cassavetes read manga.
	3:11pm spodiodi: i can hear it in Ricky Don't Lose That Number, now that you mention. cool. hey David!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi David! I don't know about Cassavetes. I enjoy the manga and the movies.
	3:14pm CupcakeJenny: Hello testifiers
	3:14pm doctorjazz: Jazz guys like to cover Beatles (there are albums of this stuff)
	🥁 3:14pm David Shortell: No, my idea is absurd. The series wasn't published in English until 1987.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: Hi Jenny!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: @David - That's around the time a friend was passing me baby Cart Assassin VHS dubs
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: It is kind of amazing how Japanese samurai movies ended up being borrowed for American cinema.
	3:17pm spodiodi: hi Jenny!
	3:17pm doctorjazz: Havens often slows times down, to good effect. But (to me) this just doesn't move (Just Like a Woman was treated similarly, and it's fabulous).
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: I like this a LOT better than the original
	3:18pm doctorjazz: I like the CSN!
	3:19pm doctorjazz: All imo, of course.
	3:19pm CupcakeJenny: I think I got the echo to play the radio show
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: Nice!
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I have liked it but it now papers the back of my mind like so much old, peeling wallpaper. I might just need a new interpretation
	🥁 3:22pm WR: @3:14 @David Shortell: Connecting that film with similar Japanese material is reasonable. When reading the Wikipedia entry for Cassavetes Gloria I see: "The Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa cited Gloria as one of his favorite films." en.wikipedia.org...
	3:23pm Erica: Hi Jenny. Congrats to Miles on his graduation!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	3:23pm CupcakeJenny: Thank you!
	3:25pm doctorjazz: A bit like Beatles stuff, the CSN DID suffer from overexposure, and I didn't listen to either for many years. But that long avoidance of exposure has mitigated much of that overexposure fatigue, and I can listen to that stuff again (though I still don't pull it out of the track).
	3:25pm CupcakeJenny: Oh no! Larry’s going to make me cry!
	🥁 3:26pm David Shortell: Yes, “The Magnificent Seven” and “A Fistful of Dollars” are famous examples of westerns adapting chambara. I also saw an American adaptation of “Rashomon” called “The Outrage”. Edward G. Robinson, Howard DaSilva and William Shatner played the storytellers and Paul Newman played the bandit.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Rutger Hauer also remade Zatoichi at some point
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: Don't cry, Jenny...
	3:27pm Sem: Summoned by the spirit of the Cat. Hello, Larry, and diggers of funky 4 corners.
	3:27pm Erica: Awww
	3:28pm doctorjazz: So when do I become old but happy?
	3:32pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Well said...
	3:33pm bradford: agreed, very touching Larry...
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem, bradford!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Therein lies the rub...
	3:35pm Phillippe: Congratulations Larry! You done good, my friend!
	3:36pm doctorjazz: Congratulations, Larry!
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe! Thanks!
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: Thanks, Doc!
	3:36pm spodiodi: congrats, Larry!
	3:37pm Jeff Ash: Larry, Jen, been there, done that. Way to go!
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: Thank you, spodiodi!
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - I know you know the path we tread.
	3:38pm spodiodi: hey Sem! hi Phillipe! good to see ya! and haha, doc... good question :)
	3:38pm spodiodi: hey bradford!
	3:39pm Erica: Davy!
	3:39pm bradford: howdy spodiodi
	3:40pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I wish I could afford an original copy of "Head"... even the 1985 reissue I have is pricey. Nice touch using the sound from the movie too :)
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: I dubbed that from the movie way back when
	🥁 3:44pm David Shortell: Who is singing that with Donovan?
	3:45pm Erica: Head was very psychedelic.
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: @David - Madeleine Bell, I think
	3:47pm Vincent The Soul Chef: It was a cinematic triumph, Erica... also, a very loose biopic of their career if you watched the entire run of the series. It's definitely a top five "stop and watch whenever it's on TV" movie.
	3:48pm doctorjazz: Really like Biff Rose, bought one of his albums after hearing it here (liked him back in the day as well, he'd get played on FM radio, but never picked up his albums then).
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: That first Biff Rose album is one of my all time favorites. The second one is good, too. After that it kind of trails off,
	3:49pm doctorjazz: (having a slow office day, usually can't post this much or listen this closely, not since the old Wednesday night slot).
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Good to have you here!
	3:50pm Erica: Vincent I read that it was a failure when it first came out as it alienated both the teen demographic of the series as well as the psychedelic hippie crowd the movie tried to be aimed at.
	3:51pm Erica: Forget the site I read that from. All I know is that Jack Nicholson (pre-Shining) helped work on Head.
	🥁 3:53pm WR: was away from computer when you did you opening mic break, Larry. Deeply felt. Thoughtful program today. Giving new or more context for these tunes. 👍👍👍👍👍 PS: Crying is OK Jenny, his comments and thinking on all involved made me tear up. I love the family photos y'all shared on FB. Such a great family celebration!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks, WR!
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - he was, along with Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, and all three went on to make Easy Rider
	3:56pm Erica: @Larry Yes with Peter Fonda.
	3:56pm Erica: Heard of Easy Rider but haven't seen it.
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: I think you'd like it
	3:59pm Erica: Not really into biker movies Larry but I'll consider it for the future.
	3:59pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @Erica: All true... Head was Jack's first(?) screenplay in fact, written pretty much on the fly while he and the band were in a cypher...
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: it's not a biker movie. More of a travelogue that happens on motorcycles. No Hells Angels
	4:01pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yep, it's actually a pretty sad commentary of the end of the 60s. Very good picture, worth seeing.
	4:01pm CupcakeJenny: Oh no bob!
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: And Dr Seuss!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Song written by Dr Sesuss and Frederick Hollander: seuss.fandom.com...
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: An extensive meditation on Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine in this 2018 show:wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:19pm WR: Thank you for the Tom Rapp referral, Larry. I was just thinking that I've not listened to PBS in a while. Time to revisit.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: Such a great group (mainly Tom, but still)
	4:30pm CupcakeJenny: I’m starting to think Larry isn’t going to play Return to Pooh Corner. 🤣😉
	4:30pm zivilars: Hey Larry, thanks for another great show! How beautiful is this Simon & Garfunkel track?! Damn ...
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: You can bet the house on it.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey zivilars! It's a Jackson C Frank cover.
	4:31pm zivilars: beautiful version of it
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Meet on the Ledge is always sung at Cropredy as the last number. All the audience join in & hug/sway together. Very moving moment to end the festival.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - Yes, indeed. It was unreleased for years, Recorded but unissued from the Sounds of Silence sessions.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! One of my very favorite songs. I just read that Richard Thompson sang it at his mother's funeral (at her request in her will).
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: Larry got the Premium. Interested to see the Terry Boylan song from Alias Boona.
	4:33pm zivilars: I definitely have to catch up "Testify!" live on air more often, glad there's the archives as second chance. Thanks so much for all your work, Larry, one of the best shows on the Drummer stream!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: That's a cool record! Early Becker and Fagen involvement
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - Thanks so much!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: The Boylan's Appletree Theatre still stands the test of time. Psychedlic, but with jazz musicians to play it crisply. Never dates.
	4:39pm Erica: Natalie Cole singing Neil Young?
	🥁 4:39pm Brian in UK: Richard Thompson is playing the last night of Cropredy & Fairports are playing Full House right through.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - yes
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I wish I could be there.
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Me too (re:BiUK @ 4:39)
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: Ah Forever Changes, another one that does not age.
	4:52pm Mike Sin: This has been a great show. Listening on the back porch drinking a bunch of alky ginger beers. I’m sure you know Tom Rush’s “Child’s Song” — that fits the concept.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Mike!
	4:52pm doctorjazz: Great show, thanks, Larry!
	4:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Larry! great show
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The Natalie Cole track though... damn mind blown Another winner..
	4:56pm zivilars: Thanks for a fantastic show, Larry! Hear you soon!
	🥁 4:56pm WR: Thank you! Larry!
	4:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: Last minute hello to all. Been listening while struggling with the weeds in the Lower 40'. Wonderful tunes today, Larry.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	4:57pm Erica: Thank you Larry! Happy 4th of July to you too. And Happy Canada Day yo those who celebrate tomorrow.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	4:57pm CupcakeJenny: Bye everyone!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: See you upstairs, Jenny!

	4:10pm Funky16Corners: An extensive meditation on Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine in this 2018 show:wfmu.org...
	🥁 4:19pm WR: Thank you for the Tom Rapp referral, Larry. I was just thinking that I've not listened to PBS in a while. Time to revisit.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: Such a great group (mainly Tom, but still)
	4:30pm CupcakeJenny: I’m starting to think Larry isn’t going to play Return to Pooh Corner. 🤣😉
	4:30pm zivilars: Hey Larry, thanks for another great show! How beautiful is this Simon & Garfunkel track?! Damn ...
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: You can bet the house on it.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey zivilars! It's a Jackson C Frank cover.
	4:31pm zivilars: beautiful version of it
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Meet on the Ledge is always sung at Cropredy as the last number. All the audience join in & hug/sway together. Very moving moment to end the festival.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - Yes, indeed. It was unreleased for years, Recorded but unissued from the Sounds of Silence sessions.
	4:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian! One of my very favorite songs. I just read that Richard Thompson sang it at his mother's funeral (at her request in her will).
	🥁 4:33pm Brian in UK: Larry got the Premium. Interested to see the Terry Boylan song from Alias Boona.
	4:33pm zivilars: I definitely have to catch up "Testify!" live on air more often, glad there's the archives as second chance. Thanks so much for all your work, Larry, one of the best shows on the Drummer stream!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: That's a cool record! Early Becker and Fagen involvement
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: @zivilars - Thanks so much!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: The Boylan's Appletree Theatre still stands the test of time. Psychedlic, but with jazz musicians to play it crisply. Never dates.
	4:39pm Erica: Natalie Cole singing Neil Young?
	🥁 4:39pm Brian in UK: Richard Thompson is playing the last night of Cropredy & Fairports are playing Full House right through.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - yes
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I wish I could be there.
	4:42pm doctorjazz: Me too (re:BiUK @ 4:39)
	🥁 4:52pm Brian in UK: Ah Forever Changes, another one that does not age.
	4:52pm Mike Sin: This has been a great show. Listening on the back porch drinking a bunch of alky ginger beers. I’m sure you know Tom Rush’s “Child’s Song” — that fits the concept.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Mike!
