	12:13pm CupcakeJenny: We’re back at my friends house. :) but the market was hopping. I wanted everything
	12:14pm Franco Twinkie: What SoP said. I was thinking 'this is kinda off for Stork' as I shimmied around in my bathrobe.
	12:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Franco!
	12:14pm StringOFperils: Only and Larry are mutually exclusive terms; it's always superlative when Testify hits the air!
	12:15pm Funky16Corners: Aww shucks, thanks!
	12:16pm Funky16Corners: @C - I prefer the Jr Walker 'Come See About Me' and it doesn't get played often enough
	12:17pm coelacanth∅: i think i'd never heard it before!
	12:18pm Funky16Corners: Man, this is such a brilliant record.
	12:18pm doctorjazz: In transit, in and out of listening range, great for driving, though! Hi Larry and Testifiers!
	🥁 12:19pm dutchtheo: Hey, Larry and sunday shakers!
	12:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:19pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	🥁 12:20pm Brian in UK: Ahhh Levi Stubbs.
	12:21pm Funky16Corners: Just one of the great soul voices of all time.

	12:23pm Erica: "Bernadette!"
	12:23pm CupcakeJenny: Lol I just came to say I was singing lol
	12:27pm spodiodi: hi Andrew! i was off in bananaville 🍌 nice set, Larry
	12:28pm Sem: How far is that from Margaritaville, s'podi'? And, hi!
	12:28pm coelacanth∅: (and they showed that nearly talentless dick phil spector the idea of a wall of sound)
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	12:30pm spodiodi: aloha, S'em! that's a good question.🤔 i'm not sure, but banana daquiritown is just down the street coelamanØ 🙏
	🥁 12:30pm Artie: Hiya, Larry and Merry Band.
	12:30pm Funky16Corners: I think I'm going to have a nice. cold Margarita tonight
	12:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Artie!
	12:31pm spodiodi: power of suggestion a la S'em ftw! 🦾
	🥁 12:31pm Brian in UK: Hey Sem, good idea. Got downwind of the apple brandy last night. Very nice.
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: iii... had a dream with a banana in it. 'probably shouldn't mention that!
	12:32pm StringOFperils: Peel, and see...
	12:32pm spodiodi: haha, CØ
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: hey, sometimes a banana is just a banana
	🥁 12:33pm Brian in UK: Some folks were a bit snooty about Tamla way back then. Their loss.
	12:33pm Erica: Never heard this version of Nowhere to Run before. The Isleys killed it here.
	12:34pm Doug Schulkind: Sunday in the vault with Larry!
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - In reference to what, smaller labels?
	12:34pm Sem: Ah, s'pod'i, onto the vulcan mindmeld tricks, I see. Brian: I was intrigued by that brandy because of it's association with the Sweeney Nonpareil apple, a Shropshire-centric pomme.
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This is a track from the This Old Heart Of Mine LP
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: for the record i also dreamt about bok choy, and preparing an enormous stir-fry
	12:35pm Marc Francis: Choon after choon after chooooooooooon!
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: Isleys were so Great
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Marc!
	12:35pm Erica: @Larry I've only heard the version by Martha and the Vandellas, which was used in Good Morning Vietnam I think.
	12:35pm spodiodi: 🖖 the good of the many, S'em...
	12:36pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - You are correct
	12:36pm Erica: Haven't seen the movie but heard the soundtrack.
	12:36pm spodiodi: needs of*
	12:37pm Marc Francis: Funky16Corners: ♥ ♥ ♥
	🥁 12:37pm Brian in UK: Larry, well the soul thing in general, perhaps because they made the pop charts.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: Well, that's just silly now, isn't it?
	🥁 12:38pm Brian in UK: Sure is.
	12:38pm Funky16Corners: Asa vet of the rare soul scene, as collector and DJ I can assure you that half-assed thinking like that leaves out a whole lot of great records.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: an early 45 i got was a reissue of boogie on reggae woman and i decided then that tamla was where the cool motown kids hung out
	12:41pm coelacanth∅: ahhh, Martha
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: This isn't to say that there are truckloads of rare/lesser known soul and funk 45s, there are and thanks to hardcore collectors we get to hear them, but the sound of soul doesn't dead-end there
	12:41pm Erica: Now we hear Martha.
	12:42pm Michael 98145: Nothin to say.. Just enjoying the show.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Michael!
	12:42pm Creature Boy: good evening
	12:43pm Erica: HEAT WAVE!
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: EPIC
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: So perfectly engineered to sound fab coming out of a transistor radio.
	12:43pm Funky16Corners: Hi Creature Boy!
	🥁 12:44pm dutchtheo: Some days i like Stax/Volt more but other days Tamla/Motown. But they stand the test of time both so well, taking into account that they are so well known and get still so much radio play.
	12:44pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my all time fave dancers!
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: I never knew this song until The Fall covered it. Amazing!
	12:47pm Funky16Corners: @Theo - It's all good, Some days you want hot dogs, some days you want burgers...
	12:48pm StringOFperils: ^^ same Franco
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: some days you want Curtom
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Genius, right?
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: Some days Harthon, some days Mirwood, Brunswick, Ric-Tic, on and on and on
	12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Totally. What it evokes is universal.
	12:49pm Mike Schaefer: I've said this many times but there just HAS to be a 4 Tops version of "Ghost in my House" in the Motown vault.
	12:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! Good to see you here!
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: (t-neck, king...)
	12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, it will always stop me in my tracks when I hear it. Romantic loss is trauma that fucks you up for life, I'm afraid.
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I grabbed the wrong file!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: Way back at the beginning, Baby Don't You Do It, I first heard The Band's cover (which is great, but so is the Gaye)!
	1:03pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Probably the first version I knew
	1:03pm Erica: We go from Motown to rock.
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: These Birds feature a young Ronnie Wood
	1:05pm chresti: Hi Larry and company!
	1:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Chresti!
	1:08pm StringOFperils: Oddly faithful cover. PJ really wanted to go there. The sincerest form of flattery
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: There are no less than six covers of Reach Out in today's show, with widely different takes
	1:10pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Sounding great!
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: SOp i thought the same. i like this version but it's not that different
	1:13pm Stork: Loving this show! Thanks for super-subbing, Larry!!
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Stork! My pleasure!
	1:14pm TDK60: Hi, Funky Larry G.
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: Hi TDK60!
	1:14pm Franco Twinkie: So, which version do you think grabbed Lemmy by the nuts?
	1:15pm Funky16Corners: The Birds version is pretty heavy. This was a local Seattle record so I doubt he heard this one
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: The Bird is a go then.
	1:17pm Funky16Corners: Wiki quotes Lemmy as saying the Birds was the source
	1:19pm spodiodi: never heard this cover before... cool!
	1:19pm Franco Twinkie: Cal Tjader had big ears. No jazz snob he.
	1:19pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed, Lots of cool covers on this album
	🥁 1:19pm WR: That was The Playboys Of Edinburg, Texas.
	1:20pm Funky16Corners: @WR - It was indeed!
	1:20pm Franco Twinkie: Slight return.
	1:21pm Erica: Cal knew what he was doing for sure.
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: Never, ever pass up a Cal Tjader album when you see one
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, you got to stop this shit - I need to go to the farmers market!
	1:25pm Funky16Corners: I can't stop! I'm out of control!
	1:25pm Franco Twinkie: But I need peaches!!!!
	1:26pm Funky16Corners: You could always move me over to the phone and take me with you. I like peaches!
	1:26pm StringOFperils: There's no archive for peaches. Just sayin'
	1:28pm StringOFperils: She put this out in the same year as Angel of the Morning. That's some range.
	1:28pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I was shocked when I found this and gave it a listen. REALLY different
	1:28pm Franco Twinkie: Well there is SoP. I usually freeze a bunch so I can bust out a peach pie for Thanksgiving, but I NEED a pie mid-week!
	1:28pm Erica: No Wi-Fi at the Farmers market SoP?
	1:29pm Franco Twinkie: I'm devise free Erica.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Franco's the one on the peach hunt, Erica; I'm just sitting on his left shoulder
	1:32pm chresti: Ha StringO
	1:32pm Erica: Sorry @SoP. I meant to say Franco.
	1:33pm StringOFperils: No problem. :)
	1:34pm TDK60: Hola Franco. No devices at the farmer market except a smart shopper's cerebrum?
	1:37pm StringOFperils: Interesting cover; this one has a bit of a Dave Mason/Traffic feel
	1:37pm chresti: I wish you'd sit on his shoulder more often SoP Hola TDK60\\//
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Ohio band
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: wow, good version! maybe the best version!
	1:40pm StringOFperils: @chresti > Ha ha. That would be a cool tour.
	1:40pm chresti: I love Martha Reeves and the Vandella's version best so far..
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: i also don't have fmu alternate streams when i leave the house. and i also need peaches from the farmers' market
	1:42pm TDK60: Hi Chresti. \\//. / Martha & V.'s is tougher. / Yesterday I was at a family swim party. I got out of the pool and saw several close kin already looking at their gizmos and I urged they put them away for once, so we could...talk.
	1:46pm Michael 98145: need peaches, indeed
	1:48pm Funky16Corners: I could use some forcible deprogramming from my phone.
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Heading out, listen in the car, thanks Larry, laters all!
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: damn, Franco why'd ya have to mention peaches!
	1:49pm Andres: A monster of a version! So good!
	1:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye Doc!
	1:49pm chresti: Franco has a dumb smart phone. It may be able to stream, I'll take a look at it when he gets home
	1:49pm Funky16Corners: Used to great effect in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
	1:50pm Funky16Corners: Which Doobie you be?
	1:50pm Erica: Woo the Doobies!
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i have a dummied-down "smart" phone. so i could stream wfmu; but i wont. it;'s not even connected to the internet.
	🥁 1:51pm WR: wow, that was a short version of the Fudge version.
	1:51pm Funky16Corners: 45 edit
	1:52pm Erica: Speaking of The Doobie Brothers, is Michael McDonald's version of Reach Out (I'll Be There) in the show?
	1:52pm Funky16Corners: It isn't. I don't have that, but I should look for it.
	1:54pm Erica: It's from his 2004 album Motown Two Larry. His first volume is from 2003.
	1:55pm Funky16Corners: i should grab that. He's one of my fave voices
	1:56pm Erica: He released 2 Motown covers albums and a soul covers album called Soul Speak in the 2000s. Worth checking out.
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: This is a medley with a non-HDH song, but I'm gonna play the whole thing
	2:07pm StringOFperils: Gotta walk a dog. Hope I'm only standing in the shadows of love, and not standing in anything else.
	2:07pm Funky16Corners: Enjoy the fresh air!
	🥁 2:14pm WR: Interesting and agreeable to me description of Vanilla Fudge.
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: mōg!
	2:16pm Little Danny: larry 'n' all hi hi hi
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: Hi Danny!
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: @C - I know, I know, I can't help myself
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: haha Larry i thought you had to know!
	2:19pm Michael 98145: Didn't know Motown put those out ...
	2:20pm Little Danny: that "mickey's monkey" was great, any idea of who the flautist was?
	2:20pm Erica: Hi Danny.
	2:21pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Might very well have been Choker Campbell himself. He was a multi-reed/woodwind player
	2:22pm Little Danny: i bet you're right, larry, especially since the flute occupied such a prominent place on that track
	2:22pm Little Danny: helllooo erica!
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: hey Danny!
	2:26pm Little Danny: hello coela!! 🐟🐟🐟
	2:29pm chresti: Hi Little Danny!
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: Larry i should tell you that i almost didn't tune in at all today, figuring you'd play a lot of diana ross -who i have a low tolerance for. but instead i've heard many versions of songs i knew were great but were ruined by the lead vocals -and now redeemed. it's been a great program!
	2:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C! Glad you're digging it!
	2:32pm Little Danny: Chresti ❤️❤️❤️
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: (for the record i love most of the early supremes material, before all the focus was on diana)
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Johnny Guitar Watson moonlighting as Johnny Piano Watson
	2:33pm Michael 98145: back when AM radio was fun
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Is there any music on AM Radio anymore?
	2:37pm Little Danny: Had to pull over to say how much I’m digging this Alvin R version, wow!
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: Glad to hear it! One of his later 45s
	2:39pm Michael 98145: I think some "ethnic" channels exist to play music
	2:42pm Little Danny: Sodden Sundays at Chez Grogan
	2:44pm Michael 98145: 🌻
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: i blew off the farmers market, and now it's sunny out. maybe i'll play a drum out on the deck. annoy the neighbors.
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You can bet I'm having a drink with dinner tonight!
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's the spirit! Bring a cowbell, too!
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: this is excellent! i mean, i still Love Freida's first and foremost, - but Ronnie's got a beautiful voice
	2:49pm Funky16Corners: There's some cool stuff on this album, including a great Northern Soul-tempo version of Fever
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: (had)
	2:49pm Michael 98145: so much music so rarely-heard
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: when i was little we made fun of the am hit "if you let me make love to you why can't i touch you". thought it hilariously impossible! ... clueless children.
	2:51pm Mike Schaefer: Not many covers of "Band of Gold" by male singers. Sylvester's is the only other one I know of.
	2:51pm Little Danny: So Larry I guess the obvious question is when is the former-cast-members-of-hair Testify special
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: ha Larry i have cowbells in 3 sizes!
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: Danny i love that idea!
	2:53pm Dean: My guess, LD, is when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars?
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That's a good idea!
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dean!
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: Dean, nice!
	2:53pm Sem: That seems like more cowbell than most, coel. Cool. Testify today has been the butter on the toast of memory. Thanks, Larry. How sweet it all was then.
	2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again. Eat a peach, everyone.
	2:54pm Dean: Good morning (which has 7 minutes remaining where I sit)!
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, Sem!
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: I can't believe we're almost to three hours!
	2:55pm Funky16Corners: I meant to play it this time!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Sem i had them attached to a drum kit at one time. and (imagining a halo over my head) i never used them on the downbeat...or the upbeat!
	2:59pm Sem: hahaha. See you around the deep sometime...
	2:59pm Little Danny: Lol Dean ❤️ hi!
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Dusty ! And another hour! okay!
	3:05pm Franco Twinkie: I'm back with the peaches.
	3:08pm Mike Schaefer: IIRC "Aquarius" was written specifically for Dyson when "Hair" transferred to B'way.
	3:08pm Erica: 🍑🍑
	3:09pm Erica: Millions of peaches, peaches for me.
	3:10pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, these are the ones I've been waiting for!
	3:10pm Dean: That is an interesting datum, Mike Schaefer.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - I did not know that!
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: FREDA! ...PEACHES!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: There are a lot of changes in songs during the early stages of HAIR, Public Theater etc. I have a hard time keeping them straight.
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: yes interesting about aquarius
	3:12pm Erica: Just don't go to Joe's fruit store or you'll buy a sour peach and get banned.
	3:13pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I had to grab the edge of the table when I put a sample slice in my mouth, THEY'RE THAT GOOD!!!
	3:13pm Erica: Haha
	3:13pm coelacanth∅: so yet another dick move by berry gordy blocked proper songwriting credits on these?
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, most of their work at Invictus/Hot Wax is credited to "Edith Wayne"
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: Get ready for a radical ass-kicking of this song...
	3:15pm coelacanth∅: oh man,Franco. i went directly to a particular farm to get some a week ago and they were good, not great. usually they're orgasmic! (although maybe not the level of orgasm that you're talking about)
	3:16pm Dean: An excerpt from an article in The Sacramento Observer, sometime in 1971, headline The Quiet and Shy Ronnie Dyson: While in high school, Ronnie's focus was on medicine, with the idea of eventually becoming a doctor (a goal he hasn't entirely put out of his mind). But the big break came along at age seventeen, and all that was unexpectedly turned around. This particular break came in the form of a part in an off-Broadway musical that was moving to Broadway for a . . . opening. That musical was "Hair," and Ronnie Dyson opened up the show with his powerful singing of a song called "Aquarius," which was written especially for him. To call "Hair" a success would be one of the understatements of all time, and Ronnie's rendition of "Aquarius" was one of the highlights of the show.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: Wow! He died young!
	3:19pm Franco Twinkie: When I was in high school my main focus was on medicine as well - weed, PCP and speed.
	3:20pm Dean: I was hooked on St. Joseph's.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: The sweet, orange pills...
	3:21pm Franco Twinkie: Chewable orange?
	3:21pm coelacanth∅: Dyson had some other lovely passages in the hair soundtrack, as well. maybe he sang the Shakespear soliloquy "what a piece of work is man"?
	3:21pm Mike Schaefer: @Dean: Thanks, I remember hearing the story from Casey Kasem. Apparently Dyson's "Hair" contract specified he could NOT record "Aquarius" as a solo artist, which left the door wide open for the 5th Dimension.
	3:22pm Dean: Chewable? Shoot, I mainlined 'em.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: 5th dimension did it justice too though, fortunately!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't the 5D version the biggest record of 1969?
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: (possibly my first new album, "the age of aquarius", which i asked for for xmas)
	3:25pm Franco Twinkie: I worked in a hospital kitchen. They made us do something about our hair. I wore pigtails. This drove the old ladies mad - but not in a good way.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: I remember my Mom and ny aunt going to see the 5th Dimension at the Garden State Arts Center!
	3:27pm Dean: Not my first album, but I got the Hair OST when I was 9 or 10. I already Beatles, Elvis, Burl Ives(!), Monkees...
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: oh, 69? ...one of my first (new) records. i still have it, posted for sale on discogs for a buck i think! it's pretty crackly, and lovingly defaced
	3:31pm coelacanth∅: my father brought home the hair st when i was little. as the family was sitting around the living room listening my mother exclaimed Oh,Tom...Really... but he prevailed and my older brother told his younger siblings what sodomy and cunnilingus was
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: THAT is enlightened!
	3:32pm Dean: At that age I was making money 1) selling peaches off our backyard tree, 2) mowing lawns, and 3) making ceramic beads for a friend's hippie family. That friend saw Hair in LA at the time. We pored over his unabridged dictionary looking up those words, coelacanth∅.
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: haha...hippie in training!
	3:34pm Dean: I only got to see Easy Rider at the time because his mom took us.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: i was 6 going on 7 in 1969. No Easy Rider, but my aunt did take us to a bunch of non-kid movies. I remember seeing Marooned and Paint Your Wagon. The horror
	3:37pm Andres: Really digging all this later period stuff. So unknown to me.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: This one is a Dozier composition. Also recorded by Dozier himself and by Richie Havens.
	3:39pm Erica: Now we enter jazz fusion territory.
	3:39pm Little Danny: @andres totally agree
	3:40pm Mike Schaefer: Now here's an underrated outfit: Odyssey. Known only for "Native NY'er" in this country, but they had much success in the UK.
	🥁 3:40pm Yvang: French version by Claude François 1978 youtu.be...
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: There are a bunch of later (post 1990) dance versions of this one
	3:44pm Andres: LD, I hope the move is treating you well.
	3:46pm Andres: I hate to think of all the 45s I passed on at the thrift store because I didn’t know who Edith Wayne was!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: This one written and produced by Dozier. The other half of this album is produced by Allen Toussaint!
	3:47pm StringOFperils: I'd never guess this was ZZ Hill. You only get a bid of the edge on his voice that's so prominent elsewhere.
	3:47pm StringOFperils: *a bit
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: I suspect that the outside songwriters and producers were brought in to give him a new direction
	3:48pm StringOFperils: Neato record, though
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Lady Chanticleer: wfmu.org...
	3:51pm spodiodi: thanks, Larry!
	3:54pm Franco Twinkie: Summer couldn't be gone soon enough. Tylor Swift said it best - Cruel Summer.
	3:54pm Dean: An "eponymous" song
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: Clarence hated patches. he strongly objected to singing that because of the typecasting of it. fortunately for us he was convinced to do it...and fortunately for his own finances
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Patches. I'm dependin' on ya son.....
	3:57pm Dean: Dug it!
	3:57pm Andres: Great show! Thanks, Larry!
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 3:57pm WR: Thank you Larry! Dug it!
	3:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry. Extra gold stars for extra effort!
	3:57pm Franco Twinkie: Dug it to the max. Thanks Larry.
	3:57pm Erica: Four hours of fun. The ending is where you lost me though. But great show Larry.
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🥁 3:58pm Yvang: Beautiful tribute! Thanks Larry!
	3:58pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: double the pleasure, double the fun! Thanks Larry! Thanks Larry!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Lamont Dozier
	3:59pm Little Danny: wonderful as always thanks larry

	12:28pm coelacanth∅: (and they showed that nearly talentless dick phil spector the idea of a wall of sound)
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	12:30pm spodiodi: aloha, S'em! that's a good question.🤔 i'm not sure, but banana daquiritown is just down the street coelamanØ 🙏
	🥁 12:30pm Artie: Hiya, Larry and Merry Band.
	12:30pm Funky16Corners: I think I'm going to have a nice. cold Margarita tonight
	12:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Artie!
	12:31pm spodiodi: power of suggestion a la S'em ftw! 🦾
	🥁 12:31pm Brian in UK: Hey Sem, good idea. Got downwind of the apple brandy last night. Very nice.
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: iii... had a dream with a banana in it. 'probably shouldn't mention that!
	12:32pm StringOFperils: Peel, and see...
	12:32pm spodiodi: haha, CØ
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: hey, sometimes a banana is just a banana
	🥁 12:33pm Brian in UK: Some folks were a bit snooty about Tamla way back then. Their loss.
	12:33pm Erica: Never heard this version of Nowhere to Run before. The Isleys killed it here.
	12:34pm Doug Schulkind: Sunday in the vault with Larry!
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - In reference to what, smaller labels?
	12:34pm Sem: Ah, s'pod'i, onto the vulcan mindmeld tricks, I see. Brian: I was intrigued by that brandy because of it's association with the Sweeney Nonpareil apple, a Shropshire-centric pomme.
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This is a track from the This Old Heart Of Mine LP
	12:34pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: for the record i also dreamt about bok choy, and preparing an enormous stir-fry
	12:35pm Marc Francis: Choon after choon after chooooooooooon!
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: Isleys were so Great
	12:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey Marc!
	12:35pm Erica: @Larry I've only heard the version by Martha and the Vandellas, which was used in Good Morning Vietnam I think.
	12:35pm spodiodi: 🖖 the good of the many, S'em...
	12:36pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - You are correct
	12:36pm Erica: Haven't seen the movie but heard the soundtrack.
	12:36pm spodiodi: needs of*
	12:37pm Marc Francis: Funky16Corners: ♥ ♥ ♥
	🥁 12:37pm Brian in UK: Larry, well the soul thing in general, perhaps because they made the pop charts.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: Well, that's just silly now, isn't it?
	🥁 12:38pm Brian in UK: Sure is.
	12:38pm Funky16Corners: Asa vet of the rare soul scene, as collector and DJ I can assure you that half-assed thinking like that leaves out a whole lot of great records.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: an early 45 i got was a reissue of boogie on reggae woman and i decided then that tamla was where the cool motown kids hung out
	12:41pm coelacanth∅: ahhh, Martha
	12:41pm Funky16Corners: This isn't to say that there are truckloads of rare/lesser known soul and funk 45s, there are and thanks to hardcore collectors we get to hear them, but the sound of soul doesn't dead-end there
	12:41pm Erica: Now we hear Martha.
	12:42pm Michael 98145: Nothin to say.. Just enjoying the show.
	12:42pm Funky16Corners: Hi Michael!
	12:42pm Creature Boy: good evening
	12:43pm Erica: HEAT WAVE!
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: EPIC
	12:43pm Jeff Golick: So perfectly engineered to sound fab coming out of a transistor radio.
	12:43pm Funky16Corners: Hi Creature Boy!
	🥁 12:44pm dutchtheo: Some days i like Stax/Volt more but other days Tamla/Motown. But they stand the test of time both so well, taking into account that they are so well known and get still so much radio play.
	12:44pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my all time fave dancers!
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: I never knew this song until The Fall covered it. Amazing!
	12:47pm Funky16Corners: @Theo - It's all good, Some days you want hot dogs, some days you want burgers...
	12:48pm StringOFperils: ^^ same Franco
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: some days you want Curtom
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Genius, right?
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: Some days Harthon, some days Mirwood, Brunswick, Ric-Tic, on and on and on
	12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Totally. What it evokes is universal.
	12:49pm Mike Schaefer: I've said this many times but there just HAS to be a 4 Tops version of "Ghost in my House" in the Motown vault.
	12:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike! Good to see you here!
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: (t-neck, king...)
	12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, it will always stop me in my tracks when I hear it. Romantic loss is trauma that fucks you up for life, I'm afraid.
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I grabbed the wrong file!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: Way back at the beginning, Baby Don't You Do It, I first heard The Band's cover (which is great, but so is the Gaye)!
	1:03pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Probably the first version I knew
	1:03pm Erica: We go from Motown to rock.
	1:04pm Funky16Corners: These Birds feature a young Ronnie Wood
	1:05pm chresti: Hi Larry and company!
	1:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Chresti!
	1:08pm StringOFperils: Oddly faithful cover. PJ really wanted to go there. The sincerest form of flattery
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: There are no less than six covers of Reach Out in today's show, with widely different takes
	1:10pm Andres: Hi, Larry! Sounding great!
	1:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi Andres!
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: SOp i thought the same. i like this version but it's not that different
	1:13pm Stork: Loving this show! Thanks for super-subbing, Larry!!
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Stork! My pleasure!
	1:14pm TDK60: Hi, Funky Larry G.
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: Hi TDK60!
	1:14pm Franco Twinkie: So, which version do you think grabbed Lemmy by the nuts?
	1:15pm Funky16Corners: The Birds version is pretty heavy. This was a local Seattle record so I doubt he heard this one
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: The Bird is a go then.
	1:17pm Funky16Corners: Wiki quotes Lemmy as saying the Birds was the source
	1:19pm spodiodi: never heard this cover before... cool!
	1:19pm Franco Twinkie: Cal Tjader had big ears. No jazz snob he.
	1:19pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed, Lots of cool covers on this album
	🥁 1:19pm WR: That was The Playboys Of Edinburg, Texas.
	1:20pm Funky16Corners: @WR - It was indeed!
	1:20pm Franco Twinkie: Slight return.
	1:21pm Erica: Cal knew what he was doing for sure.
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: Never, ever pass up a Cal Tjader album when you see one
	1:22pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, you got to stop this shit - I need to go to the farmers market!
	1:25pm Funky16Corners: I can't stop! I'm out of control!
	1:25pm Franco Twinkie: But I need peaches!!!!
	1:26pm Funky16Corners: You could always move me over to the phone and take me with you. I like peaches!
	1:26pm StringOFperils: There's no archive for peaches. Just sayin'
	1:28pm StringOFperils: She put this out in the same year as Angel of the Morning. That's some range.
	1:28pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I was shocked when I found this and gave it a listen. REALLY different
	1:28pm Franco Twinkie: Well there is SoP. I usually freeze a bunch so I can bust out a peach pie for Thanksgiving, but I NEED a pie mid-week!
	1:28pm Erica: No Wi-Fi at the Farmers market SoP?
	1:29pm Franco Twinkie: I'm devise free Erica.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Franco's the one on the peach hunt, Erica; I'm just sitting on his left shoulder
	1:32pm chresti: Ha StringO
	1:32pm Erica: Sorry @SoP. I meant to say Franco.
	1:33pm StringOFperils: No problem. :)
	1:34pm TDK60: Hola Franco. No devices at the farmer market except a smart shopper's cerebrum?
	1:37pm StringOFperils: Interesting cover; this one has a bit of a Dave Mason/Traffic feel
	1:37pm chresti: I wish you'd sit on his shoulder more often SoP Hola TDK60\\//
	1:38pm Funky16Corners: Ohio band
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: wow, good version! maybe the best version!
	1:40pm StringOFperils: @chresti > Ha ha. That would be a cool tour.
	1:40pm chresti: I love Martha Reeves and the Vandella's version best so far..
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: i also don't have fmu alternate streams when i leave the house. and i also need peaches from the farmers' market
	1:42pm TDK60: Hi Chresti. \\//. / Martha & V.'s is tougher. / Yesterday I was at a family swim party. I got out of the pool and saw several close kin already looking at their gizmos and I urged they put them away for once, so we could...talk.
	1:46pm Michael 98145: need peaches, indeed
	1:48pm Funky16Corners: I could use some forcible deprogramming from my phone.
	1:48pm doctorjazz: Heading out, listen in the car, thanks Larry, laters all!
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: damn, Franco why'd ya have to mention peaches!
	1:49pm Andres: A monster of a version! So good!
	1:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye Doc!
	1:49pm chresti: Franco has a dumb smart phone. It may be able to stream, I'll take a look at it when he gets home
	1:49pm Funky16Corners: Used to great effect in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
	1:50pm Funky16Corners: Which Doobie you be?
	1:50pm Erica: Woo the Doobies!
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: i have a dummied-down "smart" phone. so i could stream wfmu; but i wont. it;'s not even connected to the internet.
	🥁 1:51pm WR: wow, that was a short version of the Fudge version.
	1:51pm Funky16Corners: 45 edit
	1:52pm Erica: Speaking of The Doobie Brothers, is Michael McDonald's version of Reach Out (I'll Be There) in the show?
	1:52pm Funky16Corners: It isn't. I don't have that, but I should look for it.
	1:54pm Erica: It's from his 2004 album Motown Two Larry. His first volume is from 2003.
	1:55pm Funky16Corners: i should grab that. He's one of my fave voices
	1:56pm Erica: He released 2 Motown covers albums and a soul covers album called Soul Speak in the 2000s. Worth checking out.
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: This is a medley with a non-HDH song, but I'm gonna play the whole thing
	2:07pm StringOFperils: Gotta walk a dog. Hope I'm only standing in the shadows of love, and not standing in anything else.
	2:07pm Funky16Corners: Enjoy the fresh air!
	🥁 2:14pm WR: Interesting and agreeable to me description of Vanilla Fudge.
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: mōg!
	2:16pm Little Danny: larry 'n' all hi hi hi
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: Hi Danny!
	2:18pm Funky16Corners: @C - I know, I know, I can't help myself
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: haha Larry i thought you had to know!
	2:19pm Michael 98145: Didn't know Motown put those out ...
	2:20pm Little Danny: that "mickey's monkey" was great, any idea of who the flautist was?
	2:20pm Erica: Hi Danny.
	2:21pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Might very well have been Choker Campbell himself. He was a multi-reed/woodwind player
	2:22pm Little Danny: i bet you're right, larry, especially since the flute occupied such a prominent place on that track
	2:22pm Little Danny: helllooo erica!
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: hey Danny!
	2:26pm Little Danny: hello coela!! 🐟🐟🐟
	2:29pm chresti: Hi Little Danny!
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: Larry i should tell you that i almost didn't tune in at all today, figuring you'd play a lot of diana ross -who i have a low tolerance for. but instead i've heard many versions of songs i knew were great but were ruined by the lead vocals -and now redeemed. it's been a great program!
	2:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C! Glad you're digging it!
	2:32pm Little Danny: Chresti ❤️❤️❤️
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: (for the record i love most of the early supremes material, before all the focus was on diana)
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Johnny Guitar Watson moonlighting as Johnny Piano Watson
	2:33pm Michael 98145: back when AM radio was fun
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Is there any music on AM Radio anymore?
	2:37pm Little Danny: Had to pull over to say how much I’m digging this Alvin R version, wow!
	2:38pm Funky16Corners: Glad to hear it! One of his later 45s
	2:39pm Michael 98145: I think some "ethnic" channels exist to play music
	2:42pm Little Danny: Sodden Sundays at Chez Grogan
	2:44pm Michael 98145: 🌻
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: i blew off the farmers market, and now it's sunny out. maybe i'll play a drum out on the deck. annoy the neighbors.
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You can bet I'm having a drink with dinner tonight!
	2:48pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's the spirit! Bring a cowbell, too!
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: this is excellent! i mean, i still Love Freida's first and foremost, - but Ronnie's got a beautiful voice
	2:49pm Funky16Corners: There's some cool stuff on this album, including a great Northern Soul-tempo version of Fever
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: (had)
	2:49pm Michael 98145: so much music so rarely-heard
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: when i was little we made fun of the am hit "if you let me make love to you why can't i touch you". thought it hilariously impossible! ... clueless children.
	2:51pm Mike Schaefer: Not many covers of "Band of Gold" by male singers. Sylvester's is the only other one I know of.
	2:51pm Little Danny: So Larry I guess the obvious question is when is the former-cast-members-of-hair Testify special
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: ha Larry i have cowbells in 3 sizes!
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: Danny i love that idea!
	2:53pm Dean: My guess, LD, is when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars?
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - That's a good idea!
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dean!
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: Dean, nice!
	2:53pm Sem: That seems like more cowbell than most, coel. Cool. Testify today has been the butter on the toast of memory. Thanks, Larry. How sweet it all was then.
	2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again. Eat a peach, everyone.
	2:54pm Dean: Good morning (which has 7 minutes remaining where I sit)!
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure, Sem!
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: I can't believe we're almost to three hours!
	2:55pm Funky16Corners: I meant to play it this time!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Sem i had them attached to a drum kit at one time. and (imagining a halo over my head) i never used them on the downbeat...or the upbeat!
	2:59pm Sem: hahaha. See you around the deep sometime...
	2:59pm Little Danny: Lol Dean ❤️ hi!
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Dusty ! And another hour! okay!
	3:05pm Franco Twinkie: I'm back with the peaches.
	3:08pm Mike Schaefer: IIRC "Aquarius" was written specifically for Dyson when "Hair" transferred to B'way.
	3:08pm Erica: 🍑🍑
	3:09pm Erica: Millions of peaches, peaches for me.
	3:10pm Franco Twinkie: Erica, these are the ones I've been waiting for!
	3:10pm Dean: That is an interesting datum, Mike Schaefer.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: @Mike - I did not know that!
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: FREDA! ...PEACHES!
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: There are a lot of changes in songs during the early stages of HAIR, Public Theater etc. I have a hard time keeping them straight.
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: yes interesting about aquarius
	3:12pm Erica: Just don't go to Joe's fruit store or you'll buy a sour peach and get banned.
	3:13pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I had to grab the edge of the table when I put a sample slice in my mouth, THEY'RE THAT GOOD!!!
	3:13pm Erica: Haha
	3:13pm coelacanth∅: so yet another dick move by berry gordy blocked proper songwriting credits on these?
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, most of their work at Invictus/Hot Wax is credited to "Edith Wayne"
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: Get ready for a radical ass-kicking of this song...
	3:15pm coelacanth∅: oh man,Franco. i went directly to a particular farm to get some a week ago and they were good, not great. usually they're orgasmic! (although maybe not the level of orgasm that you're talking about)
	3:16pm Dean: An excerpt from an article in The Sacramento Observer, sometime in 1971, headline The Quiet and Shy Ronnie Dyson: While in high school, Ronnie's focus was on medicine, with the idea of eventually becoming a doctor (a goal he hasn't entirely put out of his mind). But the big break came along at age seventeen, and all that was unexpectedly turned around. This particular break came in the form of a part in an off-Broadway musical that was moving to Broadway for a . . . opening. That musical was "Hair," and Ronnie Dyson opened up the show with his powerful singing of a song called "Aquarius," which was written especially for him. To call "Hair" a success would be one of the understatements of all time, and Ronnie's rendition of "Aquarius" was one of the highlights of the show.
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: Wow! He died young!
	3:19pm Franco Twinkie: When I was in high school my main focus was on medicine as well - weed, PCP and speed.
	3:20pm Dean: I was hooked on St. Joseph's.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: The sweet, orange pills...
	3:21pm Franco Twinkie: Chewable orange?
	3:21pm coelacanth∅: Dyson had some other lovely passages in the hair soundtrack, as well. maybe he sang the Shakespear soliloquy "what a piece of work is man"?
	3:21pm Mike Schaefer: @Dean: Thanks, I remember hearing the story from Casey Kasem. Apparently Dyson's "Hair" contract specified he could NOT record "Aquarius" as a solo artist, which left the door wide open for the 5th Dimension.
	3:22pm Dean: Chewable? Shoot, I mainlined 'em.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: 5th dimension did it justice too though, fortunately!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't the 5D version the biggest record of 1969?
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: (possibly my first new album, "the age of aquarius", which i asked for for xmas)
	3:25pm Franco Twinkie: I worked in a hospital kitchen. They made us do something about our hair. I wore pigtails. This drove the old ladies mad - but not in a good way.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: I remember my Mom and ny aunt going to see the 5th Dimension at the Garden State Arts Center!
	3:27pm Dean: Not my first album, but I got the Hair OST when I was 9 or 10. I already Beatles, Elvis, Burl Ives(!), Monkees...
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: oh, 69? ...one of my first (new) records. i still have it, posted for sale on discogs for a buck i think! it's pretty crackly, and lovingly defaced
	3:31pm coelacanth∅: my father brought home the hair st when i was little. as the family was sitting around the living room listening my mother exclaimed Oh,Tom...Really... but he prevailed and my older brother told his younger siblings what sodomy and cunnilingus was
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: THAT is enlightened!
	3:32pm Dean: At that age I was making money 1) selling peaches off our backyard tree, 2) mowing lawns, and 3) making ceramic beads for a friend's hippie family. That friend saw Hair in LA at the time. We pored over his unabridged dictionary looking up those words, coelacanth∅.
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: haha...hippie in training!
	3:34pm Dean: I only got to see Easy Rider at the time because his mom took us.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: i was 6 going on 7 in 1969. No Easy Rider, but my aunt did take us to a bunch of non-kid movies. I remember seeing Marooned and Paint Your Wagon. The horror
	3:37pm Andres: Really digging all this later period stuff. So unknown to me.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: This one is a Dozier composition. Also recorded by Dozier himself and by Richie Havens.
	3:39pm Erica: Now we enter jazz fusion territory.
	3:39pm Little Danny: @andres totally agree
	3:40pm Mike Schaefer: Now here's an underrated outfit: Odyssey. Known only for "Native NY'er" in this country, but they had much success in the UK.
	🥁 3:40pm Yvang: French version by Claude François 1978 youtu.be...
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: There are a bunch of later (post 1990) dance versions of this one
	3:44pm Andres: LD, I hope the move is treating you well.
	3:46pm Andres: I hate to think of all the 45s I passed on at the thrift store because I didn’t know who Edith Wayne was!
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: This one written and produced by Dozier. The other half of this album is produced by Allen Toussaint!
	3:47pm StringOFperils: I'd never guess this was ZZ Hill. You only get a bid of the edge on his voice that's so prominent elsewhere.
	3:47pm StringOFperils: *a bit
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: I suspect that the outside songwriters and producers were brought in to give him a new direction
	3:48pm StringOFperils: Neato record, though
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Lady Chanticleer: wfmu.org...
	3:51pm spodiodi: thanks, Larry!
	3:54pm Franco Twinkie: Summer couldn't be gone soon enough. Tylor Swift said it best - Cruel Summer.
	3:54pm Dean: An "eponymous" song
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: Clarence hated patches. he strongly objected to singing that because of the typecasting of it. fortunately for us he was convinced to do it...and fortunately for his own finances
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Patches. I'm dependin' on ya son.....
	3:57pm Dean: Dug it!
	3:57pm Andres: Great show! Thanks, Larry!
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 3:57pm WR: Thank you Larry! Dug it!
	3:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry. Extra gold stars for extra effort!
	3:57pm Franco Twinkie: Dug it to the max. Thanks Larry.
	3:57pm Erica: Four hours of fun. The ending is where you lost me though. But great show Larry.
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🥁 3:58pm Yvang: Beautiful tribute! Thanks Larry!
	3:58pm chresti: Thanks Larry!
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: double the pleasure, double the fun! Thanks Larry! Thanks Larry!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Lamont Dozier
	3:59pm Little Danny: wonderful as always thanks larry
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: Thank you Danny!
