WFMU: Testify! with Larry Grogan: Playlist from August 17, 2023

Listener comments!
	🥁 11:56am WLSClark: Interesting theme today, Larry! I am a fan of the Freddie Weller/Tommy Roe song "Birmingham" by the Movers. Their followup was not only your theme today, but it was done by Blue Cheer as well which I assume we might hear today on your show? SO many versions for a non-hit "Followup"!!!
	🥁 2:52pm Brian in UK: Larry, looks like a heartfelt tribute last week. Archives beckoning. Had a few days at the seaside.
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: Hey Clark! I won't be playing that version, but there will be at least three others.
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @2:52 Hi Brian! I hope it was relaxing!

	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:30 Lots more cool stuff coming!

	3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:41 The question is, can he get back up?

	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:44 Always celebrated in our house!
	3:45pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

	🥁 3:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Hush" by "Joe South" OOOH YEAH! Writer's version even tho AFTER the hits! BJ Royal's was just the BEST! Both his and deep Purple next year went top 10 on WLS!!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:48 I like them all, but I think Joe's is my fave. I love the guitar
	3:50pm Erica: My favorite version of this song is the Russell Morris version. Faster arrangement makes it sound catchier

	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:51 Yes! That was great!
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Joe South" This great song won Grammy for song of year I believe. The version you are playing is the LP version. The original 45 has different vocal.

	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:52 Covered by a ton of people too

	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:58 Hey String!
	4:00pm Jeff Ash: Joe South is so great. I was 13 when I heard him for the first time.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:00 Another artist that gets a blanket recommendation. Any and all albums should be purchased.
	🥁 4:05pm Brian in UK: Dusk over here. Just been watching the bats wizzing around, feeding.
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:00 Joe was even on TOLLIE records (via the Chips) just months before they closed up shop.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:05 I have one of those 45s!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 Sadly we don't see as many bats as we used to.
	🥁 4:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:06 Me too. DJ only copy tho. Chips from Chicago, so always after those Chicago groups.

	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Featuring Donna Jean Godchaux on backing vocals!
	🥁 4:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Okolona River Bottom Band" by "Bobbie Gentry" Puttin funk in Capitol country label!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:28 She was a stunning talent, emerging fully formed in 1967.
	🥁 4:29pm Brian in UK: Cher was reinventing herself way before Madonna.
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Really!?!? (always had issues with Donna Jean when she was backing the Dead).
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: Bobbie Gentry, one of Joe McGasko's alltime favourites.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:30 She's all over 1960s Memphis/Muscle Shoals records as a backing singer
	4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 just talking about bats last night, teasing them with french fries behind whackdonald's when i was a teenager. my sister had a bat on the 2nd floor of her house. ...i saw a bat in her basement maybe a year ago, flew directly toward me and i ducked; never saw it again. my sister literally believed i was hallucinating. it's always stupid people that accuse me of being stupid! anyway i wonder if the same bat's been hanging out for that long, living on spiders and mold...seems unlikely.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: Backing band on this Brenda Patterson album is Redbone
	4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:27 hey Clark!
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:32 It's waiting for you to come back.

	4:39pm Sem: Yes! Tony Joe. Thanks for that surprise, LG.
	4:40pm still b/p: Had McD item -- double cheeseburger -- for the first time in MMMMANY years the other day when someone fetched food for a few workers. Am I typing OK?
	4:41pm CalZone!: Soul Francisco! Deep!
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Soul Francisco" by "Tony Joe White" SHAMEFUL PLUG: I will be filling in for Father Flot next Thursday night 9-11 doing radio the way I did in 1980s (except for TRAVELING TO the station). Will have a fun SF tribute too!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:41 Less than two minutes long!
	🥁 4:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Stone Fox Chase" by "Area Code 615" Oh yes. The theme tune to the Old Grey Whistle Test.
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: Took me years to realise it was the code for Nashville.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Maybe the only kalimba played on a Nashville-based record?
	4:45pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 I just looked it up!
	🥁 4:46pm Brian in UK: Think this was their second album. If memory serves there is a great version of I've Been Lovin' You Too Long on the first one.
	4:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @4:40 i don't remember what those tasted like but i certainly liked 'em. do they still put mad cows in those things, or is it all soy protein? i know they stopped putting milk in their shakes by the 1970s - which is probably a good thing.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:46 yes, the first one has some Beatles covers on it, too
	🥁 4:47pm WLSClark: Buzz--from baby sittin to Hawg Frog!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:47 Yeah, pretty heavy changes for him in the 60s
	4:51pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks Larry!
	4:51pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:46 I have no idea what was in the thing I ate. Wondered if genuine or psychosomatic digestive trauma might bring unhappy McDamn consequence. But all was well, and not seeking more if I can avoid it.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:51 Thanks Andrew!
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry.
	4:53pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @4:51 Looks like I'm not the only one to eat food from Wackdonalds today.
	4:54pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Stone Fox Chase" by "Area Code 615" That 615 was good satisfying nourishment for ears. I WOULD have it again.
	4:55pm CalZone!: great sho lg!

	🥁 11:56am WLSClark: Interesting theme today, Larry! I am a fan of the Freddie Weller/Tommy Roe song "Birmingham" by the Movers. Their followup was not only your theme today, but it was done by Blue Cheer as well which I assume we might hear today on your show? SO many versions for a non-hit "Followup"!!!
	🥁 2:52pm Brian in UK: Larry, looks like a heartfelt tribute last week. Archives beckoning. Had a few days at the seaside.

	🥁 2:53pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @2:53 No problem. I actually like OTHER versions better anyway.
	2:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @2:53 I have a couple of other versions that aren't on today's playlist. There are three or four others that I still have to track down

	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:30 Lots more cool stuff coming!

	🥁 3:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Hush" by "Joe South" OOOH YEAH! Writer's version even tho AFTER the hits! BJ Royal's was just the BEST! Both his and deep Purple next year went top 10 on WLS!!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:48 I like them all, but I think Joe's is my fave. I love the guitar
	3:50pm Erica: My favorite version of this song is the Russell Morris version. Faster arrangement makes it sound catchier

	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:51 Yes! That was great!
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Games People Play" by "Joe South" This great song won Grammy for song of year I believe. The version you are playing is the LP version. The original 45 has different vocal.

	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:58 Hey String!
	4:00pm Jeff Ash: Joe South is so great. I was 13 when I heard him for the first time.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:00 Another artist that gets a blanket recommendation. Any and all albums should be purchased.
	🥁 4:05pm Brian in UK: Dusk over here. Just been watching the bats wizzing around, feeding.
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:00 Joe was even on TOLLIE records (via the Chips) just months before they closed up shop.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:05 I have one of those 45s!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 Sadly we don't see as many bats as we used to.

	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:28 She was a stunning talent, emerging fully formed in 1967.
	🥁 4:29pm Brian in UK: Cher was reinventing herself way before Madonna.
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 Really!?!? (always had issues with Donna Jean when she was backing the Dead).
	🥁 4:30pm Brian in UK: Bobbie Gentry, one of Joe McGasko's alltime favourites.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:30 She's all over 1960s Memphis/Muscle Shoals records as a backing singer
	4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 just talking about bats last night, teasing them with french fries behind whackdonald's when i was a teenager. my sister had a bat on the 2nd floor of her house. ...i saw a bat in her basement maybe a year ago, flew directly toward me and i ducked; never saw it again. my sister literally believed i was hallucinating. it's always stupid people that accuse me of being stupid! anyway i wonder if the same bat's been hanging out for that long, living on spiders and mold...seems unlikely.
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: Backing band on this Brenda Patterson album is Redbone
	4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WLSClark @4:27 hey Clark!
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:32 It's waiting for you to come back.

	4:41pm CalZone!: Soul Francisco! Deep!
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Soul Francisco" by "Tony Joe White" SHAMEFUL PLUG: I will be filling in for Father Flot next Thursday night 9-11 doing radio the way I did in 1980s (except for TRAVELING TO the station). Will have a fun SF tribute too!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:41 Less than two minutes long!
	🥁 4:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Stone Fox Chase" by "Area Code 615" Oh yes. The theme tune to the Old Grey Whistle Test.
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: Took me years to realise it was the code for Nashville.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Maybe the only kalimba played on a Nashville-based record?
	4:45pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 I just looked it up!
	🥁 4:46pm Brian in UK: Think this was their second album. If memory serves there is a great version of I've Been Lovin' You Too Long on the first one.
	4:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @4:40 i don't remember what those tasted like but i certainly liked 'em. do they still put mad cows in those things, or is it all soy protein? i know they stopped putting milk in their shakes by the 1970s - which is probably a good thing.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:46 yes, the first one has some Beatles covers on it, too
	🥁 4:47pm WLSClark: Buzz--from baby sittin to Hawg Frog!
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:47 Yeah, pretty heavy changes for him in the 60s
	4:51pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks Larry!
	4:51pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:46 I have no idea what was in the thing I ate. Wondered if genuine or psychosomatic digestive trauma might bring unhappy McDamn consequence. But all was well, and not seeking more if I can avoid it.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:51 Thanks Andrew!
	🥁 4:53pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry.
	4:53pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @4:51 Looks like I'm not the only one to eat food from Wackdonalds today.
	4:54pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Stone Fox Chase" by "Area Code 615" That 615 was good satisfying nourishment for ears. I WOULD have it again.
