	🥁 2:39pm WLSClark: Im a gonna love this. MOM always liked KIP best, tho! haha
	2:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey Clark!
	🥁 3:00pm WLSClark: Larry, I gotta say that the Smothers Brothers show was a love of my life! It is like the original Saturday Night Live, but FUNNY!!! Tommy was a mastermind and their political attacks added to their fire. Great musicians as well. The YOYO MAN!!!
	3:01pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Wisconsin!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:01 Hey Jeff! How's the ankle?
	3:02pm Erica: Ooh The Buckinghams
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:00 I only have the vaguest firsthand memories of the show, but grew to love it when E ran reruns back in the 90s
	3:02pm Jeff Ash: Achilles surgery next Tuesday. Getting after it!
	🥁 3:02pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't You Care" by "Buckinghams" OK, so this is an easy clicky for me! Hi Jeff, ERICA!!!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:02 Hey Erica! How you feeling? Is your Mom OK?
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:02 Chicago's own!
	🥁 3:03pm Yvang: Hi Larry & testifyers!
	3:03pm doctorjazz: Hello Larry and New Year Testifiers!
	🥁 3:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:02 Yeah, I taped all those back on E! but watched them originally too. Even their 1 season comedy series before in 65.
	3:04pm Phillippe: howdy
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:03 Yvang!
	3:04pm bradford: Hey there Larry & fellow testifiers!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:03 Hey Doc!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Phillippe @3:04 Hi Phillippe!
	🥁 3:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get Away" by "Blues Magoos" Hi Yvang Like this original version, but LOVE Sounds Unlimited Chicago version better.
	3:04pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:03 Hi Larry. Yeah her operation is successful. I'm still a bit stressed without her though. I worry about the future when she's no longer in my life.
	🥁 3:04pm WR: Hi Larry and folks.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:04 Hey bradford!
	3:05pm love2laf: Happy New Year Larry, and all the Testifying friends, hope you all are being treated well by 2024 so far.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:04 Hey WR!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:05 Hi love2laf!
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:00 I remember watching the Smothers Brothers every week, loved the show (a friend sent me a video of them on the Johnny Carson show where Tommy did an incredible imitation of Carson). www.youtube.com...
	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hi WLS!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:04 Cherish every day. Believe me.
	3:07pm Erica: Anyway I am enjoying the Smothers Brothers show.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: Hi Phillippe, bradford, WR, love2, drJ! Erica, hang in there! drJ, I'll check that out after show sometime. Im doing a drop in Feb 3 here (RNS) and plan to do a tiny Tom S tribute thing too.
	🥁 3:08pm WR: ↳ WLSClark @3:03 WLSClark, I am realizing that you must have quite an archive of things you've taped. I recently finally listened to your Drop-In show from last June. So many incredible radio interview and announcements. Will be listening to it a few more times.
	🥁 3:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:07 I assume these artists were on the show. The Donovan/PP&Mary one was so cool!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:08 Everyone I'm playing today appeared on the show.
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ WR @3:08 Thanks, WR. Ive done 3 shows so far. 2 drop ins and one is in Father Flot's 2 hours fill in if you wish to hear more the same. Next one will have much more radio silliness too.
	🥁 3:10pm WR: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night At the World" by "Jennifer Warnes" Jennifer Warnes posted a tribute to Tom Smothers, I did not know she was a regular on their show..
	🥁 3:10pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @3:10 She appeared on the show as part of the LA "Hair" cast.
	🥁 3:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night At the World" by "Jennifer Warnes" Jennifer (Warnes) was a hippie star on the 60's Smo Bros show too. SO many cool characters, writers, musicians.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:10 She was just known as 'Jennifer' back then (and on her first two albums)
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:10 Hi David!
	3:11pm Sem: Is this pew taken? Afternoon, Reverend Larry, and adherents to the Church of Testification.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:11 Hey Sem!
	3:12pm bradford: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 Howdy WLSClark!
	🥁 3:13pm WLSClark: Bob Einstein, Mason Williams both writers on the shows. Remember the fast time capsule films they showed. SO cool.
	3:13pm Mike Sin: Digging the show. Happy new Year! Side note: There is a live track off of the Jimi Hendrix box set (purple paisley cover) from 1969 that Jimi dedicates to the Smothers Bros. It must be from the time the Bros were fired from CBS.
	3:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:09 Have to check out your shows, sounds good! (I often feel like I'm the only non-DJ to post on the chat boards...)
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:13 Hiya Mike!
	3:15pm Jeff Ash: YouTube video of Classical Gas performance from the show is fun. Mason Williams lip-syncing to a fully orchestrated track with a fun cameo at the end.
	🥁 3:15pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Well, I am proud of my DJ heritage. 10 years 1980-89 on KZUM here in Lincoln. No stations like this playing 60s obscure back then in midwest.
	3:15pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @3:04 My mom was always emphatic that no matter how much I would grieve when she was gone, that that was so much better than me dying before her. My mom had a practical streak that was weirdly comforting. @doctorjazz you are not, I too am a non DJ on the chat boards.
	3:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Classical Gas" by "Mason Williams" I remember this performance on the show...
	🥁 3:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:15 His original acoustic version of "Classical gasoline" (original title) is on LPs. He combined with Nebraska's Mannheim Steamroller to create a new version in 80s. MS did a great song ala the Williams song but with synth in 72: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 3:19pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:16 Yeah, the big bus background.
	🥁 3:21pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "The Who" One of the great moments on live TV!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:19 You know the story of that bus? It was from a book that Williams published composed of a series of folded posters, which when unfolded and assembled made a life-sized bus!
	🥁 3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 I did NOT know that! How cool!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:22 Surviving copies are extremely rare and incredibly expensive.
	🥁 3:23pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 I believe that!
	3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:15 I didn't mean to imply anything bad about it, think I'd have fun doing it meself!
	3:25pm Jeff Ash: One more "Classical Gas" note. Larry Fast of Synergy did a tremendous synth/electronic cover of it on his "Sequencer" LP in 1976.
	3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @3:15 There ARE a few of us on the boards, I know, but I think I'm not wrong that many DJs are here (again, not a bad thing, just an observation).
	🥁 3:25pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "The Who" Funniest part in this video is the end with destroying their instruments, which was unexpected by the brothers off to side. The instant comedic genius of Tommy showed quick tho. To join in, he asks for his BROTHER's guitar and puts foot thru it--not his OWN guitar!
	3:25pm Jeff Ash: The sounds you just heard were The Who trashing their kit and the set.
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 OOPS, his bass I guess.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 Pete had just destroyed Tommy's guitar!
	🥁 3:27pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 drJ, no offense at all taken. I certainly do NOT have the voice I needed to be a hit DJ like I had wished.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:25 That explosion caused someone in the band to have permanently damaged hearing, and reportedly caused that night's guest, Bette Davis, to faint
	🥁 3:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:26 Oh yeah! That was great! I think Moon had metal shards in his arm too.
	🥁 3:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Get Me To the World On Time" by "Electric Prunes" Is this what the Prunes sang on the show?
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:28 I believe it was. Not everything I'm playing today lines up with the performances on the show
	🥁 3:31pm WLSClark: Unlike Sullivan, almost always, artists sang live on Smos bros. One of the best ever song renditions that was 100% visual greatness was this one--after the show, please: www.youtube.com...
	3:31pm Moog1 Radio: Listening through my leopard skin phones! Classic set Larry!!!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Moog1 Radio @3:31 Hey Kurt!
	🥁 3:32pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Good Time" by "The Clingers" Mike Curb tried like Hell to make these girls the first "Heart" like success story.
	3:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @3:15 (There are few things more horrible than your kids passing before you do...)
	3:33pm Jeff Ash: Being older than dirt, I saw the original Smothers Brothers shows as a kid and I just wish to say today's program is perfectly capturing the vibe of those shows.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:33 Thanks, Jeff!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Debra Clinger ended up in Kaptain Kool and the Kongs on the Krofft Supershow!
	3:35pm Sem: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:33 Same here. Loving it, Larry. Thank you.
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Buy For Me the Rain" by "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" Dirt band included Jackson Browne a year or so after this one. Cant believe how big he was locally IN LA scene for so long without a hit.
	3:36pm kev: I too watched the Smothers Brother every week when I was a kid still have Mom always liked you best LP
	3:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Buy For Me the Rain" by "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" Always loved this show, but it's so different than what the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band became known for a bit later...
	3:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:36 *Always loved this song, meant to say.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:36 I'm a big fan of their first few albums when they were still a folk rock/pop band
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" by "Spanky and Our... This band was just so much fun to hear always. I am betting the brothers may have caused Spanky's Gang to do "Give a Damn."
	3:38pm Erica: You misspelled Spanky as Spank Larry. Also I just realized their group name comes from the Little Rascals shorts lol.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:38 Thanks Erica! Just fixed it
	🥁 3:39pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:38 Spanky got start in Chicago bars. There's a CD out with tapes from that time around 1964 that I have.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: This is Ted Neeley a few years before he had the title role in Jesus Christ Superstar
	🥁 3:41pm WLSClark: This is just so much fun to remember things. NANCY SINATRA sultry, (yet somehow plastic in a way) singing to the cameras--or to a 12 year old kid like me.
	3:41pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:40 Wow. A fine career move as JC, I guess...
	🥁 3:42pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "She's My Girl" by "Turtles" BEST song they ever did, IMO. Alan Gordon had a record on the Hot 100 and Top LP chart EVERY single week of 67!
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:42 I LOVE this record!
	🥁 3:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Unknown Soldier" by "The Doors" Not sure if they did this (probably) BUT they did do "Moonlight Drive."
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 IMDB says they did Touch Me and Wild Child
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: This episode featured the Doors and The Committee
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Oh, musta been Sullivan on that song.
	🥁 3:48pm WLSClark: Janis Ian--only artist to have EXACTLY ONE record hit Hot 100 3 decades in a row--60s, 70s, 80s.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:48 What was the 80s hit?
	3:50pm Erica: I'm still here. My cat was begging for my chicken.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:50 Our old cat used to LOVE fried chicken
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Baby That's Me" by "The Cake" Haven't heard this one in a long time.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 This is a great album with a bunch of New Orleans musicians on it, mixed in with the Wrecking Crew
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Under the covers. I loved the sad but great "in the winter" and was shocked when she sang it on SNL. It was such a sad song for that show.
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 Bet it sounds better in stereo.
	3:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "King Midas In Reverse" by "The Hollies" Great tune!
	🥁 3:57pm WLSClark: Association were "IT" on Chicago radio 66-68. SO big on radio those years and just the best songs!
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:57 They were on the SBCH three times!
	🥁 3:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Think they even did "Reqium" on there too.
	🥁 3:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Museum" by "Herman's Hermits" Did Donovan's original ever show up on record? I cant remember hearing it.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 It's on the Mellow Yellow album
	4:00pm StringOFperils: Woowoow look at that playlist. How did I miss so much good stuff in such a short time? And hello!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:00 Hey String! Hit the archive later on!
	🥁 4:01pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 I need to play that. Wasn't sure he did it himself.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Noel Harrison did a nice version, too
	4:02pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Yep I'll run that through the old brain sifter later on
	🥁 4:02pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 WOW! I cant even picture that one!
	4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hush" by "Joe South" Another tune I always loved, sucker for Na Na Na Na's...
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: Hush was top 10 on WLS 2 years in a row--67 BJ Royal, 68 Deep Purple. I prefer BJ's.
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:02 I played it on my Noel Harrison special! wfmu.org...
	4:04pm doctorjazz: Mostly know Hush from Deep Purple.
	🥁 4:04pm WLSClark: Hi SoP!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 I like Joe's version the best
	🥁 4:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Thanks!!!
	4:04pm StringOFperils: Hey, Clark!
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:04 Came between BJ and DP versions and a bit of both sounds heard in his!
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 Love your dial avatar!
	4:06pm StringOFperils: Some old-school (staring at the...) radio visual for ya
	4:07pm CalZone!: Howdy Larry and Groganites!
	🥁 4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 I see he did PF Sloan's "Red balloon"! COOL!
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:07 Hey Cal!
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 You mean Tim Hardin?
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:06 back before there was a station on every frequency when you tuned like that.
	🥁 4:08pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds" by "Jefferson Airplane" In the group's 2nd SBCH appearance, Grace Slick's bizarre self-makeup raised some eyebrows.
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:08 Wasn't "The man Behind the red balloon" a Sloan song?
	4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" Yes!!!
	4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" Stars of Where The Action Is!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:08 You are correct! I was thinking of the song 'Red Balloon'
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:09 Sorry, I abbreviated. haha. Was just looking at your playlist. :)
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: The Raiders were on the SBCH twice
	4:11pm doctorjazz: Killin' it, Larry!
	4:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @4:08 Damn! I probably saw that and I can't remember,,,,out of all the other ones that I can....on the Smothers bro show
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "There Is a Mountain" by "Donovan" Flower children unite!
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 Thanks Doc!
	4:11pm doctorjazz: (hard to get work done, will blame you...)
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 I accept responsibility!
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 Let's all just go to the studio and sing along on "hey Jude."
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Donovan doing this with Brasil 66 on the Andy Williams Show
	4:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 I'm in, Na, Na, Na, Na Na Na Na, keep it going for an hour!
	🥁 4:13pm WLSClark: I think "Hey Jude" was actually on david Frost show, but shown in US on Smothers. Tommy is in the "Give Peace a Chance" video that is out there original.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Conditi... Remember seeing them as well.
	4:14pm StringOFperils: That was a test of WFMU's volcano early-warning system Donovan 0.3.64
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:13 There were a couple of taped Beatles appearances on SBCH
	🥁 4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 Problem was Andy always wanted to sing with the artists on these songs he had on his show.
	4:15pm Sem: I remember seeing this as a 14 year old.
	🥁 4:15pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Seems like Tommy can be seen in the live world broadcast of All You Need is Love too???
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: A few years later the First Edition had their own TV show
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:15 I remember the guitarist had a "guitar off" w/ BB King. Buddy didn't come off too well.
	🥁 4:16pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:15 Just when their career caved in.
	🥁 4:19pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" I'm reading Quentin Tarantino's novelization of his "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" and wondering how true is Sharon Tate's portrayed adulation of the Raiders. It states she found their records left behind by Mark Lindsay, a former renter of the pad she and Roman resided in. Speculation according to hearsay--or outright fictionalization?
	🥁 4:20pm WLSClark: Now, I am not MY working too, because I cant. Gotta sit here and reminisce with these songs and chatters.
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: I can believe janis got blackballed, as she had great songs and no hits mostly.
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @4:19 Well, Lindsay and Terry melcher were producing together then so very possible.
	4:24pm Woo: Hail Atlantis!
	4:25pm Erica: ↳ Woo @4:24 Hail Woo
	4:25pm Woo: Electrically they keep a baseball score
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" The lyrics of this song are 100% perfect!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:24 Hey Woo!
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: Hi WOOOOO!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:19 I don't know about the truth, but he features that prominently in the movie
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" Love the video of this where they are singing in a record store. Not sure if on youtube or not.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 No lie! Even showing "Happening 68" on the TV screen!
	4:28pm StringOFperils: There it is!
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 There was some Netflix or some network movie a couple years ago that featured "Silver Bird" a TON. I have NO idea why, but even see it playing on a 45 (wrong label style like most recreations do).
	4:29pm Erica: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" Ironically this song makes fun of rock n roll music of that time. I do like their impressions of other artists.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 I don't think they're making fun of the music
	4:30pm Woo: ↳ Erica @4:29 The Donovan one is pretty funny
	🥁 4:30pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" MORE great lyrics, but "Too Much of Nothing" was best of theirs at that point, IMO.
	4:31pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:29 They mocked something about the song. Gotta look it up later.
	🥁 4:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" Steve Martin went from being a writer/bit player on CBS' S.B. Comedy Hour to being a writer/bit player on CBS' S. & C. Comedy Hour.
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:29 Lots of great tunes like that over the years: Dont call Us"-Sugarloaf, "Superstar"-Paul davis, many more.
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:30 Dylan song, I believe.
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:31 I think PPM were making fun of rock n' Roll as well.
	4:32pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:32 That's what I meant
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Words" by "Bee Gees" Gimme a minute to wipe my eyes...
	🥁 4:32pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 Really. I did not figure PP&M wrote it, but did not know Dylan did!
	🥁 4:33pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @4:31 I believe Glen Campbell Hour came about from his appearances on Smos Bros too.
	4:33pm StringOFperils: I think that was Peter, Paul and Mary's moment of realizing that they were becoming hopelessly square, as well as being on board with the new thing, except for the fact that they were already Peter, Paul and Mary
	4:33pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" The line about the Beatles seems pretty directly insulting, but I heard somewhere long ago that it wasn't intended as such or was just a harmless joke or some damn thing that meant face value of it wasn't face value. I've made it nice and clear now, eh?
	4:34pm Sem: ↳ Erica @4:31 Saved you the trouble, Erica: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 4:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" On the first season (1967-1968) of CBS' "The Carol Burnett Show", Carol and Vicki Lawrence sing this. Tom and Dick guested on one first season broadcast.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I always thought of it as an affectionate tribute.
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 Me too. Never thought of it as more than a tribute to RNR.
	4:35pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" another gem from Goffin and King
	4:36pm Erica: ↳ Sem @4:34 Wrong song though.
	4:36pm Erica: Wrong song though.
	4:36pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Fell off the accu and into a phone call, but the music still played, and I'm still loving it Larry.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:36 Thanks!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:36 What is?
	🥁 4:37pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" This is the very song they can be seen singing on the SBCH, during the very brief period when Gene Clark rejoined.
	4:37pm love2laf: ↳ love2laf @4:36 Argh, I meant to add, I'm also not a musician, nor a DJ to DoctorJazz, so I'm in the lonely single circle in the WFMU Venn diagram.
	4:38pm StringOFperils: I'm sure if there's a WFMU Venn diagram, it's just plasma.
	🥁 4:38pm WLSClark: ↳ love2laf @4:37 "All my life's a circle!" I'll join you!
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:37 Yeah, it was a VERY brief period! Pure luck that he can be seen on TV
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:38 100 or so circles
	4:40pm love2laf: ↳ WLSClark @4:38 Oh, and there's a cat in my circle too, who also is not a DJ nor a musician.
	4:41pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:40 Feline or man?
	4:41pm StringOFperils: I thought every cat tried their hand at being a DJ at some point. I think it's instinct for turning the tables on something or other
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:41 haha! Just as long as the nails dont scratch me!
	🥁 4:42pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:41 They DO emulate Dr Johnny Fever often as to excitement!
	4:42pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:41 Darn, that's one of each! Hubby is one cool cat in my books, and Erin the kitteh is feline.
	4:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "What's Gnawing At Me" by "Biff Rose" more Biff Rose, what a nice (unusual) voice!
	🥁 4:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Both Sides Now" by "Judy Collins" I read that Judy Collins joined Tom & Dick on the show to sing "Hard Lovin Loser", maybe in tribute to its writer Richard Farina who fatally motorcycle-crashed the year before.
	4:44pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:42 😹
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & folks. Just back from a showing of Stop Making Sense, 2023 edition. Still delivers.
	🥁 4:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" by "Pete Seeger" I DID see this performance! SUCH a great testimonial record! Got the bros in trouble, I believe.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Hey Brian!
	4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:40 He tests gear, which isn't the same as DJ'ing, but sorta counts as industry...
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:44 Almost didn't get broadcast.
	4:45pm Listening Out There: I think I saw First Edition's perplexing video of "Condition" on Smothers Brothers when I was a kid...
	4:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:44 I saw Pete Seeger in concert as well.
	4:45pm Woo: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Indeed. Saw it a couple of months ago. They never stop moving.
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:45 I got to meet Pete and shake his hand when I was in high school. A giant.
	🥁 4:45pm David Shortell: ↳ WLSClark @4:42 Johnny Fever's actor, Howard Hesseman, appeared on the SBCH when he was in the radical San Fran comedy troupe The Committee.
	4:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Haven't seen it since it was released, may be worth catching again (though I'm sure MsJazz has no interest...)
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:45 SBCH writers Carl Gottlieb and Rob Reiner were in the Committee
	4:47pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 He actually designs gear that he then has to put through testing, and has absolutely had thoughts of doing a Radio Row one day.
	🥁 4:47pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Child of Clay" by "Jimmy Rodgers" This one also a great song. I believe he had a terrible accident when this was a hit, sadly.
	🥁 4:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 I didn't know that about Rob! He did play a radical in "Where's Poppa?"
	4:48pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Worth it just for the Bernie Worral bits, though the whole thing is just riveting. I like a concert film that makes me sweat along w/ the performers.
	🥁 4:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Avery Shriver (sp?) too, I think?
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:48 There was an LA extension group of the Committee, I think started by those two
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Fabulous show today. I Loved watching the SB's back in the day. My dad was a huge fan. Stay tuned for Discotech Underground coming up next on the Drummer Stream! wfmu.org...
	4:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:47 Even more as I said!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:48 I think Shriver was a Chicago/Second City guy
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "California Earthquake" by "Mama Cass" Great john Hartford song. Scary when it was out--maybe still?
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 Thanks Kip!
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:48 They were glowing at the end. 'Does anybody have any questions?' Always makes me chuckle.
	4:51pm Listening Out There: Oh. Also, ran across a great nickname sometime back for Peter, Paul, and Mary: "Two rabbis and a hooker." Don't recall where I read that...
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:51 I've played his version before. I love it.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Could have been. Just seemed like he was in those skits I saw of them.
	4:52pm love2laf: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 Will be there with bells on and cocktails in hand when hubby gets home. @Larry, what a wonderful selection of music today, very much appreciated. Cheers everyone, have a great rest of your day.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Out about same exact period as "Day After Day" by Shango and I was like...."What's going on here?"
	4:53pm Discotech Underground: ↳ love2laf @4:52 Awesome!
	🥁 4:53pm WLSClark: Hi KIP! Finally a chance to catch your Thursday show today!
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: GREAT GREAT show, Larry!
	4:54pm Discotech Underground: ↳ WLSClark @4:53 CLARK! SO glad you'll be along LIVE this time! That doesn't happen very often.
	🥁 4:54pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Before there was Burns & Schreiber, there was Burns & Carlin. (Jack Burns and George Carlin originated the taxcab bit!)
	4:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" Love this as well! Thanks Larry, great show!
	🥁 4:55pm WLSClark: Still kicking myself for not going to Smos Bros new live show last year nearby.
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks for another great show Larry.
	4:55pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:52 I never understood why one wants to do something with bells on...wouldn't it be noisy?
	4:56pm Woo: Fantastic show. Thank you!
	🥁 4:56pm WLSClark: Jimmy Rodgers and Bobby darin trying to move into hip scene then.
	4:57pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:56 They jingle, like belly dancers outfits, it's cheerful and happy :)
	4:57pm Sem: ↳ Woo @4:56 Ditto. Thank you, Larry.
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. Mom always liked you better.
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for all these gems!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!

Listener comments!
	🥁 2:39pm WLSClark: Im a gonna love this. MOM always liked KIP best, tho! haha
	2:52pm Funky16Corners: Hey Clark!
	🥁 3:00pm WLSClark: Larry, I gotta say that the Smothers Brothers show was a love of my life! It is like the original Saturday Night Live, but FUNNY!!! Tommy was a mastermind and their political attacks added to their fire. Great musicians as well. The YOYO MAN!!!
	3:01pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Wisconsin!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:01 Hey Jeff! How's the ankle?
	3:02pm Erica: Ooh The Buckinghams
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:00 I only have the vaguest firsthand memories of the show, but grew to love it when E ran reruns back in the 90s
	3:02pm Jeff Ash: Achilles surgery next Tuesday. Getting after it!
	🥁 3:02pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Don't You Care" by "Buckinghams" OK, so this is an easy clicky for me! Hi Jeff, ERICA!!!
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:02 Hey Erica! How you feeling? Is your Mom OK?
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:02 Chicago's own!
	🥁 3:03pm Yvang: Hi Larry & testifyers!
	3:03pm doctorjazz: Hello Larry and New Year Testifiers!
	🥁 3:03pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:02 Yeah, I taped all those back on E! but watched them originally too. Even their 1 season comedy series before in 65.
	3:04pm Phillippe: howdy
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @3:03 Yvang!
	3:04pm bradford: Hey there Larry & fellow testifiers!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:03 Hey Doc!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Phillippe @3:04 Hi Phillippe!
	🥁 3:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Gotta Get Away" by "Blues Magoos" Hi Yvang Like this original version, but LOVE Sounds Unlimited Chicago version better.
	3:04pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:03 Hi Larry. Yeah her operation is successful. I'm still a bit stressed without her though. I worry about the future when she's no longer in my life.
	🥁 3:04pm WR: Hi Larry and folks.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bradford @3:04 Hey bradford!
	3:05pm love2laf: Happy New Year Larry, and all the Testifying friends, hope you all are being treated well by 2024 so far.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:04 Hey WR!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:05 Hi love2laf!
	3:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:00 I remember watching the Smothers Brothers every week, loved the show (a friend sent me a video of them on the Johnny Carson show where Tommy did an incredible imitation of Carson). www.youtube.com...
	🥁 3:05pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:04 Hi WLS!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:04 Cherish every day. Believe me.
	3:07pm Erica: Anyway I am enjoying the Smothers Brothers show.
	🥁 3:07pm WLSClark: Hi Phillippe, bradford, WR, love2, drJ! Erica, hang in there! drJ, I'll check that out after show sometime. Im doing a drop in Feb 3 here (RNS) and plan to do a tiny Tom S tribute thing too.
	🥁 3:08pm WR: ↳ WLSClark @3:03 WLSClark, I am realizing that you must have quite an archive of things you've taped. I recently finally listened to your Drop-In show from last June. So many incredible radio interview and announcements. Will be listening to it a few more times.
	🥁 3:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:07 I assume these artists were on the show. The Donovan/PP&Mary one was so cool!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:08 Everyone I'm playing today appeared on the show.
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ WR @3:08 Thanks, WR. Ive done 3 shows so far. 2 drop ins and one is in Father Flot's 2 hours fill in if you wish to hear more the same. Next one will have much more radio silliness too.
	🥁 3:10pm WR: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night At the World" by "Jennifer Warnes" Jennifer Warnes posted a tribute to Tom Smothers, I did not know she was a regular on their show..
	🥁 3:10pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @3:10 She appeared on the show as part of the LA "Hair" cast.
	🥁 3:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Saturday Night At the World" by "Jennifer Warnes" Jennifer (Warnes) was a hippie star on the 60's Smo Bros show too. SO many cool characters, writers, musicians.
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:10 She was just known as 'Jennifer' back then (and on her first two albums)
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:10 Hi David!
	3:11pm Sem: Is this pew taken? Afternoon, Reverend Larry, and adherents to the Church of Testification.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:11 Hey Sem!
	3:12pm bradford: ↳ WLSClark @3:07 Howdy WLSClark!
	🥁 3:13pm WLSClark: Bob Einstein, Mason Williams both writers on the shows. Remember the fast time capsule films they showed. SO cool.
	3:13pm Mike Sin: Digging the show. Happy new Year! Side note: There is a live track off of the Jimi Hendrix box set (purple paisley cover) from 1969 that Jimi dedicates to the Smothers Bros. It must be from the time the Bros were fired from CBS.
	3:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:09 Have to check out your shows, sounds good! (I often feel like I'm the only non-DJ to post on the chat boards...)
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mike Sin @3:13 Hiya Mike!
	3:15pm Jeff Ash: YouTube video of Classical Gas performance from the show is fun. Mason Williams lip-syncing to a fully orchestrated track with a fun cameo at the end.
	🥁 3:15pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:14 Well, I am proud of my DJ heritage. 10 years 1980-89 on KZUM here in Lincoln. No stations like this playing 60s obscure back then in midwest.
	3:15pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @3:04 My mom was always emphatic that no matter how much I would grieve when she was gone, that that was so much better than me dying before her. My mom had a practical streak that was weirdly comforting. @doctorjazz you are not, I too am a non DJ on the chat boards.
	3:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Classical Gas" by "Mason Williams" I remember this performance on the show...
	🥁 3:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:15 His original acoustic version of "Classical gasoline" (original title) is on LPs. He combined with Nebraska's Mannheim Steamroller to create a new version in 80s. MS did a great song ala the Williams song but with synth in 72: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 3:19pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:16 Yeah, the big bus background.
	🥁 3:21pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "The Who" One of the great moments on live TV!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:19 You know the story of that bus? It was from a book that Williams published composed of a series of folded posters, which when unfolded and assembled made a life-sized bus!
	🥁 3:22pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 I did NOT know that! How cool!
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:22 Surviving copies are extremely rare and incredibly expensive.
	🥁 3:23pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 I believe that!
	3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @3:15 I didn't mean to imply anything bad about it, think I'd have fun doing it meself!
	3:25pm Jeff Ash: One more "Classical Gas" note. Larry Fast of Synergy did a tremendous synth/electronic cover of it on his "Sequencer" LP in 1976.
	3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @3:15 There ARE a few of us on the boards, I know, but I think I'm not wrong that many DJs are here (again, not a bad thing, just an observation).
	🥁 3:25pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "My Generation" by "The Who" Funniest part in this video is the end with destroying their instruments, which was unexpected by the brothers off to side. The instant comedic genius of Tommy showed quick tho. To join in, he asks for his BROTHER's guitar and puts foot thru it--not his OWN guitar!
	3:25pm Jeff Ash: The sounds you just heard were The Who trashing their kit and the set.
	🥁 3:26pm WLSClark: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 OOPS, his bass I guess.
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:25 Pete had just destroyed Tommy's guitar!
	🥁 3:27pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 drJ, no offense at all taken. I certainly do NOT have the voice I needed to be a hit DJ like I had wished.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:25 That explosion caused someone in the band to have permanently damaged hearing, and reportedly caused that night's guest, Bette Davis, to faint
	🥁 3:28pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:26 Oh yeah! That was great! I think Moon had metal shards in his arm too.
	🥁 3:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Get Me To the World On Time" by "Electric Prunes" Is this what the Prunes sang on the show?
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @3:28 I believe it was. Not everything I'm playing today lines up with the performances on the show
	🥁 3:31pm WLSClark: Unlike Sullivan, almost always, artists sang live on Smos bros. One of the best ever song renditions that was 100% visual greatness was this one--after the show, please: www.youtube.com...
	3:31pm Moog1 Radio: Listening through my leopard skin phones! Classic set Larry!!!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Moog1 Radio @3:31 Hey Kurt!
	🥁 3:32pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Good Time" by "The Clingers" Mike Curb tried like Hell to make these girls the first "Heart" like success story.
	3:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @3:15 (There are few things more horrible than your kids passing before you do...)
	3:33pm Jeff Ash: Being older than dirt, I saw the original Smothers Brothers shows as a kid and I just wish to say today's program is perfectly capturing the vibe of those shows.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:33 Thanks, Jeff!
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: Debra Clinger ended up in Kaptain Kool and the Kongs on the Krofft Supershow!
	3:35pm Sem: ↳ Jeff Ash @3:33 Same here. Loving it, Larry. Thank you.
	🥁 3:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Buy For Me the Rain" by "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" Dirt band included Jackson Browne a year or so after this one. Cant believe how big he was locally IN LA scene for so long without a hit.
	3:36pm kev: I too watched the Smothers Brother every week when I was a kid still have Mom always liked you best LP
	3:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Buy For Me the Rain" by "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" Always loved this show, but it's so different than what the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band became known for a bit later...
	3:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:36 *Always loved this song, meant to say.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:36 I'm a big fan of their first few albums when they were still a folk rock/pop band
	🥁 3:37pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" by "Spanky and Our... This band was just so much fun to hear always. I am betting the brothers may have caused Spanky's Gang to do "Give a Damn."
	3:38pm Erica: You misspelled Spanky as Spank Larry. Also I just realized their group name comes from the Little Rascals shorts lol.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:38 Thanks Erica! Just fixed it
	🥁 3:39pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:38 Spanky got start in Chicago bars. There's a CD out with tapes from that time around 1964 that I have.
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: This is Ted Neeley a few years before he had the title role in Jesus Christ Superstar
	🥁 3:41pm WLSClark: This is just so much fun to remember things. NANCY SINATRA sultry, (yet somehow plastic in a way) singing to the cameras--or to a 12 year old kid like me.
	3:41pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:40 Wow. A fine career move as JC, I guess...
	🥁 3:42pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "She's My Girl" by "Turtles" BEST song they ever did, IMO. Alan Gordon had a record on the Hot 100 and Top LP chart EVERY single week of 67!
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:42 I LOVE this record!
	🥁 3:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Unknown Soldier" by "The Doors" Not sure if they did this (probably) BUT they did do "Moonlight Drive."
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:44 IMDB says they did Touch Me and Wild Child
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: This episode featured the Doors and The Committee
	🥁 3:46pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:45 Oh, musta been Sullivan on that song.
	🥁 3:48pm WLSClark: Janis Ian--only artist to have EXACTLY ONE record hit Hot 100 3 decades in a row--60s, 70s, 80s.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:48 What was the 80s hit?
	3:50pm Erica: I'm still here. My cat was begging for my chicken.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:50 Our old cat used to LOVE fried chicken
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Baby That's Me" by "The Cake" Haven't heard this one in a long time.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:51 This is a great album with a bunch of New Orleans musicians on it, mixed in with the Wrecking Crew
	🥁 3:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:48 Under the covers. I loved the sad but great "in the winter" and was shocked when she sang it on SNL. It was such a sad song for that show.
	3:53pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:52 Bet it sounds better in stereo.
	3:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "King Midas In Reverse" by "The Hollies" Great tune!
	🥁 3:57pm WLSClark: Association were "IT" on Chicago radio 66-68. SO big on radio those years and just the best songs!
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:57 They were on the SBCH three times!
	🥁 3:58pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Think they even did "Reqium" on there too.
	🥁 3:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Museum" by "Herman's Hermits" Did Donovan's original ever show up on record? I cant remember hearing it.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 It's on the Mellow Yellow album
	4:00pm StringOFperils: Woowoow look at that playlist. How did I miss so much good stuff in such a short time? And hello!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:00 Hey String! Hit the archive later on!
	🥁 4:01pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 I need to play that. Wasn't sure he did it himself.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Noel Harrison did a nice version, too
	4:02pm StringOFperils: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:00 Yep I'll run that through the old brain sifter later on
	🥁 4:02pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 WOW! I cant even picture that one!
	4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hush" by "Joe South" Another tune I always loved, sucker for Na Na Na Na's...
	🥁 4:03pm WLSClark: Hush was top 10 on WLS 2 years in a row--67 BJ Royal, 68 Deep Purple. I prefer BJ's.
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:02 I played it on my Noel Harrison special! wfmu.org...
	4:04pm doctorjazz: Mostly know Hush from Deep Purple.
	🥁 4:04pm WLSClark: Hi SoP!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:03 I like Joe's version the best
	🥁 4:04pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 Thanks!!!
	4:04pm StringOFperils: Hey, Clark!
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:04 Came between BJ and DP versions and a bit of both sounds heard in his!
	🥁 4:05pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:04 Love your dial avatar!
	4:06pm StringOFperils: Some old-school (staring at the...) radio visual for ya
	4:07pm CalZone!: Howdy Larry and Groganites!
	🥁 4:07pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:03 I see he did PF Sloan's "Red balloon"! COOL!
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @4:07 Hey Cal!
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:07 You mean Tim Hardin?
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:06 back before there was a station on every frequency when you tuned like that.
	🥁 4:08pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds" by "Jefferson Airplane" In the group's 2nd SBCH appearance, Grace Slick's bizarre self-makeup raised some eyebrows.
	🥁 4:08pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:08 Wasn't "The man Behind the red balloon" a Sloan song?
	4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" Yes!!!
	4:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" Stars of Where The Action Is!
	4:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:08 You are correct! I was thinking of the song 'Red Balloon'
	🥁 4:10pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:09 Sorry, I abbreviated. haha. Was just looking at your playlist. :)
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: The Raiders were on the SBCH twice
	4:11pm doctorjazz: Killin' it, Larry!
	4:11pm StringOFperils: ↳ David Shortell @4:08 Damn! I probably saw that and I can't remember,,,,out of all the other ones that I can....on the Smothers bro show
	🥁 4:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "There Is a Mountain" by "Donovan" Flower children unite!
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 Thanks Doc!
	4:11pm doctorjazz: (hard to get work done, will blame you...)
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 I accept responsibility!
	🥁 4:12pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:11 Let's all just go to the studio and sing along on "hey Jude."
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Donovan doing this with Brasil 66 on the Andy Williams Show
	4:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:12 I'm in, Na, Na, Na, Na Na Na Na, keep it going for an hour!
	🥁 4:13pm WLSClark: I think "Hey Jude" was actually on david Frost show, but shown in US on Smothers. Tommy is in the "Give Peace a Chance" video that is out there original.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Conditi... Remember seeing them as well.
	4:14pm StringOFperils: That was a test of WFMU's volcano early-warning system Donovan 0.3.64
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:13 There were a couple of taped Beatles appearances on SBCH
	🥁 4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:12 Problem was Andy always wanted to sing with the artists on these songs he had on his show.
	4:15pm Sem: I remember seeing this as a 14 year old.
	🥁 4:15pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 Seems like Tommy can be seen in the live world broadcast of All You Need is Love too???
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: A few years later the First Edition had their own TV show
	4:16pm Sem: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:15 I remember the guitarist had a "guitar off" w/ BB King. Buddy didn't come off too well.
	🥁 4:16pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:15 Just when their career caved in.
	🥁 4:19pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Kicks" by "Paul Revere and the Raiders" I'm reading Quentin Tarantino's novelization of his "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" and wondering how true is Sharon Tate's portrayed adulation of the Raiders. It states she found their records left behind by Mark Lindsay, a former renter of the pad she and Roman resided in. Speculation according to hearsay--or outright fictionalization?
	🥁 4:20pm WLSClark: Now, I am not MY working too, because I cant. Gotta sit here and reminisce with these songs and chatters.
	🥁 4:22pm WLSClark: I can believe janis got blackballed, as she had great songs and no hits mostly.
	🥁 4:23pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @4:19 Well, Lindsay and Terry melcher were producing together then so very possible.
	4:24pm Woo: Hail Atlantis!
	4:25pm Erica: ↳ Woo @4:24 Hail Woo
	4:25pm Woo: Electrically they keep a baseball score
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" The lyrics of this song are 100% perfect!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:24 Hey Woo!
	🥁 4:26pm WLSClark: Hi WOOOOO!
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:19 I don't know about the truth, but he features that prominently in the movie
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" Love the video of this where they are singing in a record store. Not sure if on youtube or not.
	🥁 4:27pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 No lie! Even showing "Happening 68" on the TV screen!
	4:28pm StringOFperils: There it is!
	🥁 4:29pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 There was some Netflix or some network movie a couple years ago that featured "Silver Bird" a TON. I have NO idea why, but even see it playing on a 45 (wrong label style like most recreations do).
	4:29pm Erica: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" Ironically this song makes fun of rock n roll music of that time. I do like their impressions of other artists.
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:29 I don't think they're making fun of the music
	4:30pm Woo: ↳ Erica @4:29 The Donovan one is pretty funny
	🥁 4:30pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" MORE great lyrics, but "Too Much of Nothing" was best of theirs at that point, IMO.
	4:31pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:29 They mocked something about the song. Gotta look it up later.
	🥁 4:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "The Beat Goes On" by "Sonny and Cher" Steve Martin went from being a writer/bit player on CBS' S.B. Comedy Hour to being a writer/bit player on CBS' S. & C. Comedy Hour.
	🥁 4:31pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:29 Lots of great tunes like that over the years: Dont call Us"-Sugarloaf, "Superstar"-Paul davis, many more.
	4:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:30 Dylan song, I believe.
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Erica @4:31 I think PPM were making fun of rock n' Roll as well.
	4:32pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @4:32 That's what I meant
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Words" by "Bee Gees" Gimme a minute to wipe my eyes...
	🥁 4:32pm WLSClark: ↳ doctorjazz @4:31 Really. I did not figure PP&M wrote it, but did not know Dylan did!
	🥁 4:33pm WLSClark: ↳ David Shortell @4:31 I believe Glen Campbell Hour came about from his appearances on Smos Bros too.
	4:33pm StringOFperils: I think that was Peter, Paul and Mary's moment of realizing that they were becoming hopelessly square, as well as being on board with the new thing, except for the fact that they were already Peter, Paul and Mary
	4:33pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" The line about the Beatles seems pretty directly insulting, but I heard somewhere long ago that it wasn't intended as such or was just a harmless joke or some damn thing that meant face value of it wasn't face value. I've made it nice and clear now, eh?
	4:34pm Sem: ↳ Erica @4:31 Saved you the trouble, Erica: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 4:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" by "Peter Paul and Mary" On the first season (1967-1968) of CBS' "The Carol Burnett Show", Carol and Vicki Lawrence sing this. Tom and Dick guested on one first season broadcast.
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: I always thought of it as an affectionate tribute.
	🥁 4:35pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 Me too. Never thought of it as more than a tribute to RNR.
	4:35pm Woo: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" another gem from Goffin and King
	4:36pm Erica: ↳ Sem @4:34 Wrong song though.
	4:36pm Erica: Wrong song though.
	4:36pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 Fell off the accu and into a phone call, but the music still played, and I'm still loving it Larry.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:36 Thanks!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:36 What is?
	🥁 4:37pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" This is the very song they can be seen singing on the SBCH, during the very brief period when Gene Clark rejoined.
	4:37pm love2laf: ↳ love2laf @4:36 Argh, I meant to add, I'm also not a musician, nor a DJ to DoctorJazz, so I'm in the lonely single circle in the WFMU Venn diagram.
	4:38pm StringOFperils: I'm sure if there's a WFMU Venn diagram, it's just plasma.
	🥁 4:38pm WLSClark: ↳ love2laf @4:37 "All my life's a circle!" I'll join you!
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:37 Yeah, it was a VERY brief period! Pure luck that he can be seen on TV
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @4:38 100 or so circles
	4:40pm love2laf: ↳ WLSClark @4:38 Oh, and there's a cat in my circle too, who also is not a DJ nor a musician.
	4:41pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:40 Feline or man?
	4:41pm StringOFperils: I thought every cat tried their hand at being a DJ at some point. I think it's instinct for turning the tables on something or other
	🥁 4:41pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @4:41 haha! Just as long as the nails dont scratch me!
	🥁 4:42pm WLSClark: ↳ StringOFperils @4:41 They DO emulate Dr Johnny Fever often as to excitement!
	4:42pm love2laf: ↳ Erica @4:41 Darn, that's one of each! Hubby is one cool cat in my books, and Erin the kitteh is feline.
	4:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "What's Gnawing At Me" by "Biff Rose" more Biff Rose, what a nice (unusual) voice!
	🥁 4:43pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Both Sides Now" by "Judy Collins" I read that Judy Collins joined Tom & Dick on the show to sing "Hard Lovin Loser", maybe in tribute to its writer Richard Farina who fatally motorcycle-crashed the year before.
	4:44pm Erica: ↳ love2laf @4:42 😹
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & folks. Just back from a showing of Stop Making Sense, 2023 edition. Still delivers.
	🥁 4:44pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" by "Pete Seeger" I DID see this performance! SUCH a great testimonial record! Got the bros in trouble, I believe.
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Hey Brian!
	4:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:40 He tests gear, which isn't the same as DJ'ing, but sorta counts as industry...
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:44 Almost didn't get broadcast.
	4:45pm Listening Out There: I think I saw First Edition's perplexing video of "Condition" on Smothers Brothers when I was a kid...
	4:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ WLSClark @4:44 I saw Pete Seeger in concert as well.
	4:45pm Woo: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Indeed. Saw it a couple of months ago. They never stop moving.
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:45 I got to meet Pete and shake his hand when I was in high school. A giant.
	🥁 4:45pm David Shortell: ↳ WLSClark @4:42 Johnny Fever's actor, Howard Hesseman, appeared on the SBCH when he was in the radical San Fran comedy troupe The Committee.
	4:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:44 Haven't seen it since it was released, may be worth catching again (though I'm sure MsJazz has no interest...)
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:45 SBCH writers Carl Gottlieb and Rob Reiner were in the Committee
	4:47pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:44 He actually designs gear that he then has to put through testing, and has absolutely had thoughts of doing a Radio Row one day.
	🥁 4:47pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "Child of Clay" by "Jimmy Rodgers" This one also a great song. I believe he had a terrible accident when this was a hit, sadly.
	🥁 4:48pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 I didn't know that about Rob! He did play a radical in "Where's Poppa?"
	4:48pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @4:46 Worth it just for the Bernie Worral bits, though the whole thing is just riveting. I like a concert film that makes me sweat along w/ the performers.
	🥁 4:48pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:46 Avery Shriver (sp?) too, I think?
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ David Shortell @4:48 There was an LA extension group of the Committee, I think started by those two
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Fabulous show today. I Loved watching the SB's back in the day. My dad was a huge fan. Stay tuned for Discotech Underground coming up next on the Drummer Stream! wfmu.org...
	4:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:47 Even more as I said!
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:48 I think Shriver was a Chicago/Second City guy
	🥁 4:51pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "California Earthquake" by "Mama Cass" Great john Hartford song. Scary when it was out--maybe still?
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 Thanks Kip!
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @4:48 They were glowing at the end. 'Does anybody have any questions?' Always makes me chuckle.
	4:51pm Listening Out There: Oh. Also, ran across a great nickname sometime back for Peter, Paul, and Mary: "Two rabbis and a hooker." Don't recall where I read that...
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:51 I've played his version before. I love it.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Could have been. Just seemed like he was in those skits I saw of them.
	4:52pm love2laf: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 Will be there with bells on and cocktails in hand when hubby gets home. @Larry, what a wonderful selection of music today, very much appreciated. Cheers everyone, have a great rest of your day.
	🥁 4:52pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Out about same exact period as "Day After Day" by Shango and I was like...."What's going on here?"
	4:53pm Discotech Underground: ↳ love2laf @4:52 Awesome!
	🥁 4:53pm WLSClark: Hi KIP! Finally a chance to catch your Thursday show today!
	🥁 4:54pm WLSClark: GREAT GREAT show, Larry!
	4:54pm Discotech Underground: ↳ WLSClark @4:53 CLARK! SO glad you'll be along LIVE this time! That doesn't happen very often.
	🥁 4:54pm David Shortell: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:51 Before there was Burns & Schreiber, there was Burns & Carlin. (Jack Burns and George Carlin originated the taxcab bit!)
	4:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Goin' Back" by "Byrds" Love this as well! Thanks Larry, great show!
	🥁 4:55pm WLSClark: Still kicking myself for not going to Smos Bros new live show last year nearby.
	4:55pm Erica: Thanks for another great show Larry.
	4:55pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ love2laf @4:52 I never understood why one wants to do something with bells on...wouldn't it be noisy?
	4:56pm Woo: Fantastic show. Thank you!
	🥁 4:56pm WLSClark: Jimmy Rodgers and Bobby darin trying to move into hip scene then.
	4:57pm love2laf: ↳ doctorjazz @4:56 They jingle, like belly dancers outfits, it's cheerful and happy :)
	4:57pm Sem: ↳ Woo @4:56 Ditto. Thank you, Larry.
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Thank you, Larry. Mom always liked you better.
	🥁 4:57pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for all these gems!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
