	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hey Andrew!
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hey doc!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: FM featuring masked violinist Nash the Slash!
	3:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hi AiT!
	3:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @2:59 Hey Yvang.
	3:12pm Erica: What a coincidence. We're hearing Canadian music during a Canadian wildfire smoke alert.
	3:13pm Erica: Or smoke warning.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:12 I assure you it's a coincidence. PLanned long before the billowing clouds of noxious smoke
	3:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 Are you familiar with the Max Webster albums?
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:13 I know about Max Webster but almost nothing about the music
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: I know Kim Mitchell is a bog deal up North
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: BIG DEAL
	3:16pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 There are songwriting treats on every album. Start with the self-titled lp.
	3:16pm Erica: In other sad news, Astrud Gilberto died a couple days back in Philly.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:16 I saw that. Very sad, indeed
	3:17pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 Play a track called "Let Go The Line". It`s so good that Ron Sexsmith used to cover it live.
	3:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Go Garth!
	3:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:20 Garth actually played out somewhere a couple weeks ago.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:20 When I was a kid I thought this was Traffic
	3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Robbie Robertson does some interesting stuff on this as well.
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Yes, one of my fave Band tunes
	3:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Robbie`s a monster player.
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Erica @3:16 She lived and changed the world.
	3:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 Saw him with The Band a few times back in the day, would be cool to catch him again. I was at the NY concert, New Year's Eve, when Dylan came out for the encores (one of my 1st concerts-got a bit spoiled...)
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:23 Wow! I saw the Band twice but it was post-Robertson
	3:25pm doctorjazz: The other band members used to play sometimes in NYC at The Lone Star (no Robbie), caught a few of those. Saw the Band with the Grateful Dead double bill. (ahhh, misspent youth...)
	3:27pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Only saw The Dead once -- in the Hollywood Bowl.
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Nice!
	3:28pm Erica: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:23 My dad loved Rush when he was alive. Had so many of their albums.
	3:28pm Erica: Sorry Andrew. That was meant for Larry.
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	3:29pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 hiya coel!
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: hi Andrew!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 Hi C!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: This band featuring future marijuana entrepreneur Tommy Chong on guitar!
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all! Tuning in!
	3:32pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:31 "So do you like photos, man?"
	3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: For all the Beach Boys fans out there: theseconddisc.com...
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:32 Hey Candy-O!
	3:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:32 Hiya Candy-O!
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: i used to always relate chest fever with traffic too. i think it's because 3 dog night's "captured live at the forum" album, where i first heard the song, began sides 1 and 2 with heaven is in your mind and chest fever, respectively. (also my first exposure to that traffic song) so i learned they were both covers by bands i was unfamiliar with and got them confused. that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.
	3:36pm coelacanth∅: hey Candy!
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:35 I'll buy that!
	3:41pm Erica: The (Early) Guess Who
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:41 As pictured above, Burton Cummings on the left, Randy Bachman right next to him (though BC is not on this track).
	3:42pm Erica: This happens to be my favorite version of Shakin All Over.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:42 I prefer Johnny Kidd, but this is great
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: This is Cummings
	3:44pm Erica: Hard to believe this band would later become hot makers with These Eyes or American Woman.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 Their early stuff is great. They do a nice cover of Flying on the Ground Is Wrong by Buffalo Springfield
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Done Somebody Wrong" by "David Clayton Thomas" Before BS&T, huh? Sounds like him, though not quite as 'gutteral' a sound on this track.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 He recorded a bunch in Canada before hooking up with BS&T
	3:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Done Somebody Wrong" by "David Clayton Thomas" Checkin' in in between meetings to groove a bit! Caught the Blood, Sweat & Tears movie a few weeks back at WFMU -- I recommend it as the story is very interesting so you don't have to be an ardent fan of the band.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:51 Hey Mike! Is it the doc about their Russian tour?
	3:52pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Yes, that's correct.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:52 I want to see that
	3:58pm Erica: Did this predate Steppenwolf's version because it's inferior by comparison
	3:58pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 For clarity, the tour covered Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland -- they never hit the USSR proper.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Think that you have covered all the famous Canadians!!!!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 Hey Brian! Not yet!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:58 I read that it had something to do with Thomas exiting the band
	4:00pm Gino Vanelli: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Yeah, I'm waiting! ;)
	4:00pm Candy-O'67: Hey Andrew, coel, Erica, Mike Sin, docjazz, Brian in UK
	4:00pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' the tunes, Larry
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:00 Thanks Candy-O!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: This band features Ian Thomas, brother of SCTV's Dave Thomas and a pretty big star musician in Canada
	4:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "If You're Looking" by "Tranquillity Base" not to be confused w/ trip hop artist Tranquility Bass (rip).
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:02 Hey NGH!
	4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 Ian Thomas had a solo hit with Painted Ladies, a really good folk rock song that reminds me of the band America.
	4:04pm Erica: Also Ian Thomas originally recommended Right Before Your Eyes before America did.
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ northguineahills @4:02 ngh fly your freak flag!
	4:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 yosers, Larry!
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: Larry, cannot escape California '99?
	4:04pm Erica: ↳ Erica @4:04 Recorded, not recommended. Stupid typo. 🙄
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 i haven't decided on a vexillographic design yet!
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 NEVER!
	4:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @4:04 and hello, Erica!
	4:07pm Erica: ↳ northguineahills @4:06 Hi ngh.
	4:08pm northguineahills: i'm starting to enjoy afternoon siestas. gotta enjoy them while I can (fingers crossed employment precludes that option from me in the near future)
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:08 There is nothing like a refreshing nap
	4:09pm Mike Schaefer: That Tranquility Base song pops up often on CKWW (an oldies station made interesting by its CanCon). And I can't help but think there's a Four Tops version of "Ghost in My House" sitting in a Motown vault.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Schaefer @4:09 Hey Mike! I ought to give that station a listen. I'm fascinated by how many things only got played in Canada, and I agree with you about There's a Ghost In My House.
	4:11pm Fred R: Afternoon Larry and all! Digging the show
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:11 Hey Fred!
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: despite John Kay's excellent voice, i maybe like Mars Bonfire's version of "tenderness" better, from that album
	🥁 4:21pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry, and all!
	4:21pm Sem: Good to hear Rufus. Hiya, Larry, Testifiers.

	4:30pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:27 Swamp-ish near the river, drier closer to the house, parsley thinks its in heaven .
	4:31pm Sem: Oh, Gordie. May the gods bless him.
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: thought you might've played the mynah birds
	4:31pm JB: RIP Gordon, and hi there Larry!
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 Ha Ha.
	4:31pm Erica: ↳ Sem @4:31 We lost too many good ones this year so far.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:31 Hey JB!
	4:32pm Sem: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Neil was part of that, yeah?
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Slipped my mind! Next time.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:32 And Rick James
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: something is really wrong with anyone who doesn't like this song. rest in peace.
	4:33pm Sem: ↳ Erica @4:31 Yeah, still not getting used to it, Erica.
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "If You Could Read My Mind" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Always loved this song.
	🥁 4:34pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:33 String arrangements do make it complete.
	4:34pm JB: ↳ Song: "If You Could Read My Mind" by "Gordon Lightfoot" So good. Great pick.
	4:34pm doctorjazz: Oh Canada...
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my all time favorite albums
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Suzanne" by "Leonard Cohen" How Lenny first got noticed.
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Will rescue it from the proverbial fire.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 For a poet Lenny was a pretty great singer/songwritet
	4:37pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dutchtheo @4:25 Hi dutchtheo!
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: damn. just listened to this album last night, and the following one (from a room)
	🥁 4:38pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 Personally wish that he had written more books.
	4:38pm coelacanth∅: i curse the self-indulgent producer but it stands strong nonetheless.
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:38 They really did get carried away on Songs of Leonard Cohen, didn't they.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 I love the sound of that album.
	🥁 4:39pm dutchtheo: Hi Andrew in Canada! Cohen is one of my earliest musical memories
	4:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dutchtheo @4:39 Me as well.
	4:41pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:38 Brian, read the one from 2022? I have not. A Ballet of Lepers: A Novel and Stories. McClelland & Stewart, 2022. ISBN 9780771018145.
	4:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 yeah, it's almost like he (the producer) didn't understand the songs! like, making light of them with mouth harps, really silly bg vox and such.
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: Remember hearing 'Sister of Mercy' on the Columbia sampler. The Rock Machine Turns You On'
	4:41pm Sem: Another national treasure, right here. Thank you, Larry.
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 it works sometimes, in my opinion!
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:41 Sem, unaware of it until now!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:41 You're welcome, Sem! My brother turned me on to this album years ago
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: (and at least knew enough to leave master song alone)
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:43 Was it the same John Simon who produced the second Band album?
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Yes
	4:46pm Sem: Bonnie Dobson (born November 13, 1940, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)[1][2] is a Canadian folk music songwriter, singer, and guitarist, most known in the 1960s for composing the songs "I'm Your Woman" and "Morning Dew". The latter, augmented (with a controversial co-writing credit) by Tim Rose, became a melancholy folk rock standard, covered by Skating Polly, Fred Neil, Ralph McTell, Lulu, Nazareth, the Grateful Dead, the Jeff Beck Group, Robert Plant, the Pozo-Seco Singers, The 31st of February (including Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, and Butch Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band), Long John Baldry, DEVO and Einstürzende Neubauten, among many others. via wikithingy
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: This was another excellent show! Thanks Larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: I saw the Dead do this once
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: Larry, great excursion north of the border. Keenly await a Manitoba/Saskatchuan special!!!!
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Sem @4:46 nope, none of those artists ring a bell!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:47 I may have to focus on the Yukon and Northwest Territories first...
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Prince Edward Island???
	4:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Nunavut!
	🥁 4:49pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 I knew it.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:49 Maybe an all Calgary Stampeders show?
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 i couldn't remember his name. i just read about Leonard Cohen a few years ago -how he mostly let his producers do what they wanted, even if he hated it (as he did with this album). i don't know anything else about John Simon.
	4:52pm Sem: An all-Newfoundland show, featuring Buddy Whatshisname, and the Other Fellers.
	4:54pm Erica: That was a groovy way to end the Canadian show.
	🥁 4:55pm WR: ↳ Song: "Long Time Gone" by "Paul Horn" en.wikipedia.org... So, if you die in Canada you qualify as Canadian?
	🥁 4:57pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, great show!
	4:58pm northguineahills: thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Erica: Thanks Larry! Stay safe everyone.
	🥁 4:58pm WR: ↳ WR @4:55 Though it does appear that he spent 44 of his 84 years in Canada. Thank you! Larry! Interesting and diverse episode!
	4:58pm JB: Thanks Larry- quite a nice show, enjoyed listening and learning
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:55 If you move to and spend much of your life there you do. There were a number of adopted Canadians in the show today
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🥁 4:58pm Yvang: Thank you Larry! Canada at its finest!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: Def have to do a volume two in the future

	3:04pm doctorjazz: Hello Larry and all you out there!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: Wheeeeee! I'm back in high school!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:04 Hey WR!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:04 Hi Doc!
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Larry and all other listeners!
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:04 You NEVER really leave...
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hey Andrew!
	3:05pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:05 Hey doc!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: FM featuring masked violinist Nash the Slash!
	3:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:05 Hi AiT!
	3:09pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @2:59 Hey Yvang.
	3:12pm Erica: What a coincidence. We're hearing Canadian music during a Canadian wildfire smoke alert.
	3:13pm Erica: Or smoke warning.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:12 I assure you it's a coincidence. PLanned long before the billowing clouds of noxious smoke
	3:13pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:07 Are you familiar with the Max Webster albums?
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:13 I know about Max Webster but almost nothing about the music
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: I know Kim Mitchell is a bog deal up North
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: BIG DEAL
	3:16pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 There are songwriting treats on every album. Start with the self-titled lp.
	3:16pm Erica: In other sad news, Astrud Gilberto died a couple days back in Philly.
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:16 I saw that. Very sad, indeed
	3:17pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:14 Play a track called "Let Go The Line". It`s so good that Ron Sexsmith used to cover it live.
	3:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Go Garth!
	3:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:20 Garth actually played out somewhere a couple weeks ago.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:20 When I was a kid I thought this was Traffic
	3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chest Fever" by "The Band" Robbie Robertson does some interesting stuff on this as well.
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Yes, one of my fave Band tunes
	3:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Robbie`s a monster player.
	3:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Erica @3:16 She lived and changed the world.
	3:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:21 Saw him with The Band a few times back in the day, would be cool to catch him again. I was at the NY concert, New Year's Eve, when Dylan came out for the encores (one of my 1st concerts-got a bit spoiled...)
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:23 Wow! I saw the Band twice but it was post-Robertson
	3:25pm doctorjazz: The other band members used to play sometimes in NYC at The Lone Star (no Robbie), caught a few of those. Saw the Band with the Grateful Dead double bill. (ahhh, misspent youth...)
	3:27pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Only saw The Dead once -- in the Hollywood Bowl.
	3:27pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Nice!
	3:28pm Erica: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:23 My dad loved Rush when he was alive. Had so many of their albums.
	3:28pm Erica: Sorry Andrew. That was meant for Larry.
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	3:29pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 hiya coel!
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: hi Andrew!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:29 Hi C!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: This band featuring future marijuana entrepreneur Tommy Chong on guitar!
	3:32pm Candy-O'67: Hey Larry and all! Tuning in!
	3:32pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:31 "So do you like photos, man?"
	3:32pm Andrew in Toronto: For all the Beach Boys fans out there: theseconddisc.com...
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:32 Hey Candy-O!
	3:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Candy-O'67 @3:32 Hiya Candy-O!
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: i used to always relate chest fever with traffic too. i think it's because 3 dog night's "captured live at the forum" album, where i first heard the song, began sides 1 and 2 with heaven is in your mind and chest fever, respectively. (also my first exposure to that traffic song) so i learned they were both covers by bands i was unfamiliar with and got them confused. that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.
	3:36pm coelacanth∅: hey Candy!
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:35 I'll buy that!
	3:41pm Erica: The (Early) Guess Who
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:41 As pictured above, Burton Cummings on the left, Randy Bachman right next to him (though BC is not on this track).
	3:42pm Erica: This happens to be my favorite version of Shakin All Over.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:42 I prefer Johnny Kidd, but this is great
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: This is Cummings
	3:44pm Erica: Hard to believe this band would later become hot makers with These Eyes or American Woman.
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 Their early stuff is great. They do a nice cover of Flying on the Ground Is Wrong by Buffalo Springfield
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Done Somebody Wrong" by "David Clayton Thomas" Before BS&T, huh? Sounds like him, though not quite as 'gutteral' a sound on this track.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 He recorded a bunch in Canada before hooking up with BS&T
	3:51pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "Done Somebody Wrong" by "David Clayton Thomas" Checkin' in in between meetings to groove a bit! Caught the Blood, Sweat & Tears movie a few weeks back at WFMU -- I recommend it as the story is very interesting so you don't have to be an ardent fan of the band.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:51 Hey Mike! Is it the doc about their Russian tour?
	3:52pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Yes, that's correct.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:52 I want to see that
	3:58pm Erica: Did this predate Steppenwolf's version because it's inferior by comparison
	3:58pm Mike Sin: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:53 For clarity, the tour covered Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland -- they never hit the USSR proper.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. Think that you have covered all the famous Canadians!!!!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:59 Hey Brian! Not yet!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:58 I read that it had something to do with Thomas exiting the band
	4:00pm Gino Vanelli: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:59 Yeah, I'm waiting! ;)
	4:00pm Candy-O'67: Hey Andrew, coel, Erica, Mike Sin, docjazz, Brian in UK
	4:00pm Candy-O'67: Diggin' the tunes, Larry
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:00 Thanks Candy-O!
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: This band features Ian Thomas, brother of SCTV's Dave Thomas and a pretty big star musician in Canada
	4:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "If You're Looking" by "Tranquillity Base" not to be confused w/ trip hop artist Tranquility Bass (rip).
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:02 Hey NGH!
	4:03pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 Ian Thomas had a solo hit with Painted Ladies, a really good folk rock song that reminds me of the band America.
	4:04pm Erica: Also Ian Thomas originally recommended Right Before Your Eyes before America did.
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ northguineahills @4:02 ngh fly your freak flag!
	4:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:02 yosers, Larry!
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: Larry, cannot escape California '99?
	4:04pm Erica: ↳ Erica @4:04 Recorded, not recommended. Stupid typo. 🙄
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 i haven't decided on a vexillographic design yet!
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 NEVER!
	4:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Erica @4:04 and hello, Erica!
	4:07pm Erica: ↳ northguineahills @4:06 Hi ngh.
	4:08pm northguineahills: i'm starting to enjoy afternoon siestas. gotta enjoy them while I can (fingers crossed employment precludes that option from me in the near future)
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:08 There is nothing like a refreshing nap
	4:09pm Mike Schaefer: That Tranquility Base song pops up often on CKWW (an oldies station made interesting by its CanCon). And I can't help but think there's a Four Tops version of "Ghost in My House" sitting in a Motown vault.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Schaefer @4:09 Hey Mike! I ought to give that station a listen. I'm fascinated by how many things only got played in Canada, and I agree with you about There's a Ghost In My House.
	4:11pm Fred R: Afternoon Larry and all! Digging the show
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:11 Hey Fred!
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: despite John Kay's excellent voice, i maybe like Mars Bonfire's version of "tenderness" better, from that album
	🥁 4:21pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry, and all!
	4:21pm Sem: Good to hear Rufus. Hiya, Larry, Testifiers.
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:21 Hey Theo!

	4:30pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:27 Swamp-ish near the river, drier closer to the house, parsley thinks its in heaven .
	4:31pm Sem: Oh, Gordie. May the gods bless him.
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: thought you might've played the mynah birds
	4:31pm JB: RIP Gordon, and hi there Larry!
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: ↳ Brian in UK @4:29 Ha Ha.
	4:31pm Erica: ↳ Sem @4:31 We lost too many good ones this year so far.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:31 Hey JB!
	4:32pm Sem: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Neil was part of that, yeah?
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:31 Slipped my mind! Next time.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:32 And Rick James
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: something is really wrong with anyone who doesn't like this song. rest in peace.
	4:33pm Sem: ↳ Erica @4:31 Yeah, still not getting used to it, Erica.
	4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "If You Could Read My Mind" by "Gordon Lightfoot" Always loved this song.
	🥁 4:34pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:33 String arrangements do make it complete.
	4:34pm JB: ↳ Song: "If You Could Read My Mind" by "Gordon Lightfoot" So good. Great pick.
	4:34pm doctorjazz: Oh Canada...
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my all time favorite albums
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Suzanne" by "Leonard Cohen" How Lenny first got noticed.
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:35 Will rescue it from the proverbial fire.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:36 For a poet Lenny was a pretty great singer/songwritet
	4:37pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dutchtheo @4:25 Hi dutchtheo!
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: damn. just listened to this album last night, and the following one (from a room)
	🥁 4:38pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:36 Personally wish that he had written more books.
	4:38pm coelacanth∅: i curse the self-indulgent producer but it stands strong nonetheless.
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:38 They really did get carried away on Songs of Leonard Cohen, didn't they.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 I love the sound of that album.
	🥁 4:39pm dutchtheo: Hi Andrew in Canada! Cohen is one of my earliest musical memories
	4:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ dutchtheo @4:39 Me as well.
	4:41pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @4:38 Brian, read the one from 2022? I have not. A Ballet of Lepers: A Novel and Stories. McClelland & Stewart, 2022. ISBN 9780771018145.
	4:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 yeah, it's almost like he (the producer) didn't understand the songs! like, making light of them with mouth harps, really silly bg vox and such.
	🥁 4:41pm Brian in UK: Remember hearing 'Sister of Mercy' on the Columbia sampler. The Rock Machine Turns You On'
	4:41pm Sem: Another national treasure, right here. Thank you, Larry.
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:39 it works sometimes, in my opinion!
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:41 Sem, unaware of it until now!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:41 You're welcome, Sem! My brother turned me on to this album years ago
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: (and at least knew enough to leave master song alone)
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:43 Was it the same John Simon who produced the second Band album?
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Yes
	4:46pm Sem: Bonnie Dobson (born November 13, 1940, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)[1][2] is a Canadian folk music songwriter, singer, and guitarist, most known in the 1960s for composing the songs "I'm Your Woman" and "Morning Dew". The latter, augmented (with a controversial co-writing credit) by Tim Rose, became a melancholy folk rock standard, covered by Skating Polly, Fred Neil, Ralph McTell, Lulu, Nazareth, the Grateful Dead, the Jeff Beck Group, Robert Plant, the Pozo-Seco Singers, The 31st of February (including Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, and Butch Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band), Long John Baldry, DEVO and Einstürzende Neubauten, among many others. via wikithingy
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: This was another excellent show! Thanks Larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: I saw the Dead do this once
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	🥁 4:47pm Brian in UK: Larry, great excursion north of the border. Keenly await a Manitoba/Saskatchuan special!!!!
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Sem @4:46 nope, none of those artists ring a bell!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:47 I may have to focus on the Yukon and Northwest Territories first...
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Prince Edward Island???
	4:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Nunavut!
	🥁 4:49pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 I knew it.
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:49 Maybe an all Calgary Stampeders show?
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 i couldn't remember his name. i just read about Leonard Cohen a few years ago -how he mostly let his producers do what they wanted, even if he hated it (as he did with this album). i don't know anything else about John Simon.
	4:52pm Sem: An all-Newfoundland show, featuring Buddy Whatshisname, and the Other Fellers.
	4:54pm Erica: That was a groovy way to end the Canadian show.
	🥁 4:55pm WR: ↳ Song: "Long Time Gone" by "Paul Horn" en.wikipedia.org... So, if you die in Canada you qualify as Canadian?
	🥁 4:57pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry!
	4:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks Larry, great show!
	4:58pm northguineahills: thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Erica: Thanks Larry! Stay safe everyone.
	🥁 4:58pm WR: ↳ WR @4:55 Though it does appear that he spent 44 of his 84 years in Canada. Thank you! Larry! Interesting and diverse episode!
	4:58pm JB: Thanks Larry- quite a nice show, enjoyed listening and learning
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:55 If you move to and spend much of your life there you do. There were a number of adopted Canadians in the show today
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🥁 4:58pm Yvang: Thank you Larry! Canada at its finest!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: Def have to do a volume two in the future
