	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:11 Hey Brian!
	3:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bass-IX" by "Booker Ervin" i know booker ervin, but this is sizzling deep!
	3:12pm DJ Peter: Preach, Booker (and Jaki)! Preach!
	3:12pm StringOFperils: Good day, eh? Dec. 21. How did I get here?
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @3:12 Hey DJ Peter!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:12 Hi String!
	3:13pm love2laf: ↳ StringOFperils @3:12 Happy Rush day! Loving the start. Cheers everyone :)
	🥁 3:14pm WLSClark: Sorry to hear you are not up to par, Larry. Been fighting the crud for 3 weeks but no covid---yet.
	3:16pm Erica: Hope you feel better in time for Christmas Larry
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:13 Hi love2laf!
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys. My youngest son is worse off, with a case of strep throat. We're hoping my wife and older son don't get sick, too.
	3:18pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:17 Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, and your son, that's tough in December. Hope everyone else stays well, and you both are feeling much better soon!
	3:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:18 Thanks very much!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: I just checked, it was Jaki Byard playing piano on that opening track.
	3:21pm StringOFperils: ↳ love2laf @3:13 Ha ha ha! 2112. I had to look that up. Oh Canada.
	3:22pm doctorjazz: Loving this Booker Ervin, you're in my neck of the woods! (Mingus had him in his band, great reference)
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:21 I didn't catch that! Gotta add it to the calendar.
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 He was just so good. I could listen to him all day.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 His busiest work as a sideman was with Mingus
	3:24pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Once upon a time, I got to spend an entire evening seated at the right end of his piano keyboard, where we could actually talk to each other. It was like hanging out with Beethoven (a bit of which he threw in at one point). Thank goodness for obscure little jazz cafes. They don't last long in Toronto.
	3:25pm CalZone!: Booker lover right here!
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:24 That's amazing!
	3:25pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 So no Rush segment today planned? Hahahahahaha! :)
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:25 Hey Cal!
	3:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ StringOFperils @3:24 Super cool! One of my heroes! I love the pianists that somehow integrate all those different styles and eras (of whom Jaki is the pre-eminent-est-iest).
	3:26pm Michael 98145: As they say, digging this set
	3:27pm StringOFperils: ↳ DJ Peter @3:25 Really nice fellow. And...no words.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: Oh shit! I was just looking up Felix Krull (the credited pianist on this track) and discovered that it's Horace Parlan under a pseudonym!
	3:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Hah! That's from an unfinished novel by Thomas Mann. Horace. Schmarty Pantz.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:33 That's funny!
	3:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:27 Weird! The 1963 release lists Parlan on the front cover.
	3:38pm Doug Schulkind: Book 'em, Danno!
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @3:37 Where, on the back? Nobody but Ervin is listed on the front.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Doug Schulkind @3:38 Hey Doug!
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @3:37 Are you talking about Exultation? I was talking about That's It (1961)
	3:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:38 Ah, you're talking about the Candid record. Sorry, you are correct on all counts! (I was looking at the cover of "Exultation")
	3:42pm Erica: Had to finish dinner. My cat was begging for chicken.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:42 Gotta feed them kitties!
	3:48pm doctorjazz: This is MY style of holiday show!
	3:49pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 Ha! Hi doc.
	3:49pm Michael 98145: yes
	3:50pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 My kitteh is so completely blissed out by Booker Ervin I couldn't tear her away from the speakers.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I only wish I had some Booker Ervin holiday music to add to it!
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:50 Awwe
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:50 Your cat is truly a jazz cat.
	3:56pm Erica: Mojo sounds familiar. I think I heard it on the Weather Channel before.
	3:56pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @3:53 Erin really is, but she loves all the music. Also first cat of mine who has zero food motivation. She loves the ritual of being fed, but that's all.
	3:58pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:56 My cat is picky yet she follows my mom around thinking she would be fed
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:56 I think my brain would collapse if I heard Booker Ervin on the Weather Channel
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @3:49 Hi Erica!
	3:59pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 What's up Doc?
	3:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @3:59 Just chewing on my carrot!
	4:00pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:58 The Local on the 8s usually played smooth jazz but sometimes regular jazz and new age and other types of instrumentals would be played as well.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 That's cool
	4:01pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 But that was years ago. Now it just plays generic background music.
	🥁 4:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "Harlem Nocturne" by "Booker Ervin" I don't recall ever coming across this Booker 'n' Brass LP before. Great brass accompaniment arrangements of slew of city name compositions.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:06 It was originally on Pacific Jazz but Blue Note did a CD reissue a while back
	4:07pm Discotech Underground: What's up, Larry, and fellow Testifiers!
	4:08pm Erica: In less than 30 minutes it's time for the Christmas show
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:08 There might even be time for a bonus track!
	4:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 www.discogs.com... Bonus track: white Christmas
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @4:19 Well, I'm going to have to get one of those!
	4:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 Originally Pacific Jazz. I don’t like seeing non-Blue Note albums released on CD as Blue Note. (Undercurrent and Money Jungle being the weirdest)
	4:24pm Erica: 🎸
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @4:22 Their parent company swallowed a TON of smaller labels
	4:24pm StringOFperils: This Bob Seger is awesome! So Mitch Ryder. Deeeetroit Rock city!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:24 Definitely!
	4:25pm Fred R: Seasons Greetings Larry and to all!
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:25 Hi Fred!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: I love how he keep saying Santa KLOSS
	🥁 4:26pm dutchtheo: Hey ho, ho, Larry and bonus testifiers. Will check out the Booker Ervin set
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:26 Hey Theo!
	4:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:24 Yeah. Movies same thing (combined libraries)
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians Trailer" by "Sa... I believe the channel Movies! just aired it.
	4:29pm Erica: Haven't seen it though.
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 You're not missing much, aside from Pia Zadora as a child
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The 12 Gifts of Christmas" by "Allan Sherman" WE were so snobby about japanese tech (transistor radios) in those days...
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 I remember my grandparents using "made in Japan" as a pejorative
	4:32pm StringOFperils: Somebody should really round all this stuff up and put it in a display case.
	4:36pm Erica: The Christmas songs you just can't hear anywhere else.
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:36 I try to keep it interesting
	4:41pm StringOFperils: Great reminder to listen to Kevin Nutt's show this evening. I keep forgetting every week...cuz I'm on THIS stream. Essential gospel show.
	4:45pm Erica: Horror at Christmas
	4:45pm StringOFperils: The real gratefull dead.
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:45 The first time I heard that I couldn't believe someone put it in a movie
	4:48pm Sem: Kickin' Christmas ass, Larry. Fine stuff, hilarious listening. Checking in, a bit mad here at the house at the moment. Happy holidays, all.
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:48 Glad you're digging it, Sem!

	4:50pm StringOFperils: Satch sounds pretty baked.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:50 He was a big fan of the kind bud
	4:51pm StringOFperils: Sure was. :)
	4:51pm Erica: That laugh 😂
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great episode! Thanks, Larry!

	3:50pm love2laf: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 My kitteh is so completely blissed out by Booker Ervin I couldn't tear her away from the speakers.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:48 I only wish I had some Booker Ervin holiday music to add to it!
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:50 Awwe
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:50 Your cat is truly a jazz cat.
	3:56pm Erica: Mojo sounds familiar. I think I heard it on the Weather Channel before.
	3:56pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @3:53 Erin really is, but she loves all the music. Also first cat of mine who has zero food motivation. She loves the ritual of being fed, but that's all.
	3:58pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @3:56 My cat is picky yet she follows my mom around thinking she would be fed
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:56 I think my brain would collapse if I heard Booker Ervin on the Weather Channel
	3:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @3:49 Hi Erica!
	3:59pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @3:58 What's up Doc?
	3:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @3:59 Just chewing on my carrot!
	4:00pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:58 The Local on the 8s usually played smooth jazz but sometimes regular jazz and new age and other types of instrumentals would be played as well.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:00 That's cool
	4:01pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 But that was years ago. Now it just plays generic background music.
	🥁 4:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "Harlem Nocturne" by "Booker Ervin" I don't recall ever coming across this Booker 'n' Brass LP before. Great brass accompaniment arrangements of slew of city name compositions.
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:06 It was originally on Pacific Jazz but Blue Note did a CD reissue a while back
	4:07pm Discotech Underground: What's up, Larry, and fellow Testifiers!

	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @4:19 Well, I'm going to have to get one of those!
	4:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:20 Originally Pacific Jazz. I don’t like seeing non-Blue Note albums released on CD as Blue Note. (Undercurrent and Money Jungle being the weirdest)
	4:24pm Erica: 🎸
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ DJ Peter @4:22 Their parent company swallowed a TON of smaller labels

	4:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 You're not missing much, aside from Pia Zadora as a child
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The 12 Gifts of Christmas" by "Allan Sherman" WE were so snobby about japanese tech (transistor radios) in those days...
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 I remember my grandparents using "made in Japan" as a pejorative
	4:32pm StringOFperils: Somebody should really round all this stuff up and put it in a display case.
	4:36pm Erica: The Christmas songs you just can't hear anywhere else.
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:36 I try to keep it interesting
	4:41pm StringOFperils: Great reminder to listen to Kevin Nutt's show this evening. I keep forgetting every week...cuz I'm on THIS stream. Essential gospel show.

	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:45 The first time I heard that I couldn't believe someone put it in a movie
