	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 I can't believe it's been that long, and that we only have one Monkee and two Beatles left
	3:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "All I Need" by "Air" ha, i was just listening to this last weekend!
	3:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:05 i have my own apt in brooklyn now, and a job i love, so, i have that!
	3:08pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 Sad I know.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:07 Such a great album
	🥁 3:08pm Brian in UK: Larry, call me Kelly & I will watch the stars.
	3:08pm still b/p: ELO was interesting to me in that period, but then soon -- as also happened with other bands, of course -- when there seemed to be an endless stream of less interesting things sliding down the chute of Top 40 hits...it was "Oy, enough awredddy."
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:08 Hi Brian!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:08 Hey SBP!
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:00 Leap day? You mean I delivered all my "March baskets" a day too early? ;)

	3:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:08 amen! (and great vids to go w/ it!)
	🥁 3:10pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Erica, bradford, Brian, TDK, NGHils, yvang and all! Where's ANDREW???
	🥁 3:11pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 in Toronto!!!
	🥁 3:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New Star In the Sky" by "Air" Ground control to Moon Safari!
	🥁 3:11pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 WLSClark Hello!
	3:12pm TDK60: ↳ Yvang @3:03 Hi Yvang. That was a Havens album cover, I think.
	🥁 3:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @3:11 haha
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "New Star In the Sky" by "Air" Some albums stop time & this is one of them.
	3:12pm bradford: ↳ Yvang @3:02 Howdy Yvang!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:12 It's the cover photo from The End of the Beginning
	3:13pm bradford: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 Hey there Clark!
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Yeah, it doesn't feel 25 years old
	3:14pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 Oddly, don't think I heard that one, or forget. I'm always pushing his last slab, "Nobody Left to Crown." It showed he was still current with his folkrockn.'
	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there, Larry, and all other listeners!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Hey Andrew!
	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:12 Hiya, Clark!

	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:03 hola, Sem!
	🥁 3:16pm WLSClark: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Bout time, Sam! haha
	3:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy In New York" by "Simon and Ga... Hi Larry, Testifiers! Paul Simon is something like my wife's 3rd cousin once removed-and, can you believe, he's never been in touch with the family!!! (as my daughter would say, "that's the REAL sound of silence")
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:17 Hey Doc!
	3:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:15 Paul always has the cream of the crop and far as band members are concerned.
	3:19pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:17 Paul would have you sign a non-disclosure agreement before he would allow a call.
	3:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @3:15 Hey, Yvang!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:19 As much as I love his music, he seems like kind of a pain in the ass
	🥁 3:20pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy In New York" by "Simon and Ga... Ah Larry my favourite track on as Half Man, Half Biscuit would call it. Trouble Over Bridgwater.
	3:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fault But Mine" by "Beck" love this album too! (it took a while for it to grow on me)
	3:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Way more than that. Ask any of the Los Lobos guys.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 There was a time where I had this album playing on a loop.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @3:08 i was fully into "a new world record", but immediately following that was elo trying a new wave formula... unsuccessfully in my opinion. and i don't think they were ever very creative after that, although i probably haven't heard it all
	🥁 3:22pm Brian in UK: This & Sea Change do the job.
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:22 I never need to hear Don't Bring Me Down again, EVER
	3:23pm TDK60: Ho, Salops Brian.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Roger Manning from Jellyfish is all over this album
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 haha,yeah. -really didn't need to hear it the first time!
	🥁 3:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:23 TDK60. Apologies if mentioned before but have you seen the Cropredy lineup this year?
	3:26pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:25 Yes, I wasn't so excited. But I'm sure it will be a Fair anyway. I do have to say hello but I must be going!.....
	🥁 3:26pm Brian in UK: Never got pass the Idle Race.
	3:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Just got in, and I need to dig that ELO record out to give it a go. Hello everyone.
	3:27pm northguineahills: there's also the 60s herbie mann jazz band, air.
	3:27pm coelacanth∅: i agree about Lynn's production. ... i like cecelia though!
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" and THIS
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:27 Hey Vincent!
	3:28pm TDK60: Gracias, right reverend of Sonics, Larry. Bye!...
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:28 Bye TDK60!
	3:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" How Slow can you go? (Hayes is the Soul Equivalent of Vanilla Fudge-any song worth covering is worth slowing to a crawl! And he pulls it off!)
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: This arrangement is next level brilliant
	3:31pm bradford: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:31 Agreed! My jaw dropped the first time I heard this...
	3:32pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Hello, AiT!
	3:32pm still b/p: Wonder what Bacharach's take on this woulda been? Maybe he thought it was way outa the box but perfect low-lights-and-nightcap music.
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: SO, sweat will break out on my forehead this weekend as I scribble out shows to pledge and then cross out some and add some and then FEEL GUILTY! Anyway, gotta go now. Bye.
	🥁 3:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:29 Doc I see your Vanilla Fudge & raise the Cowboy Junkies for slowness.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:32 That's a great question!
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 Bye Clark!
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:33 I liked their version of Sweet Jane, but that album just makes me sleepy.
	3:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:33 ;- )
	🥁 3:35pm Brian in UK: ↳ still b/p @3:32 Probably liked it as much as Love's take on My Little Red Book!
	3:35pm Sem: Missed this when originally released, I guess I walked on by. Early 70s got into this, digging the sloooooooooow.
	🥁 3:37pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:35 HELLO SEM OVER THE WATER.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: Ike was the master of symphonic bedroom music. This is pants-loosening (or tightening...) music.
	3:38pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:37 Hello, Brian over on the other side of the big water. All our water is frozen ( -25C w/ wind this eve.)
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: i've played this track on the jukebox at the pub several times. always a mixed reaction; always the extremes of reaction.
	🥁 3:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:38 Oh boy, about time you had some proper winter!!!. We have have minimal frost. But so much frigging rain.
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ( ^ Isaac's walk on by, that is)
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Flight and Lion" by "Eric Matthews" Larry talking about albums, this reminds me of moving into our previous house.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: Last night we went from 59 degrees down to around 30, with ferocious winds. Just as I was going to sleep a branch fell on the roof. Not big enough to do any damage but big enough to make a noise that scared the shit out of everyone in the house.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 I love this album so much, but it sucks that he turned out to be such a creep. He's a "men's rights" weirdo.
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 Enjoy the music not the musician. Know what you mean.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 Yup
	3:44pm doctorjazz: Cold, brrr, got a new puppy, have to take her out really often, freeze my kazatzkas off...
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:44 That's rough on winter nights
	3:44pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:40 Consider rice in the garden, Brian. When Nature gives you a deluge...
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: Larry, you really hitting some tracks tonight that have resonance over here.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:47 I'm glad you're digging them!
	🥁 3:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:44 Yes, some terraces as the garden descends.
	3:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Barcelona" by "Rufus Wainwright" I love that Rufus rebelled against his folkie parents by singing operatically!
	3:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 glad there was no damage. ...got that beat up here, going from >62f to ~27 at night! (and the intense wind made it happen very efficiently)
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:49 He has one of my favorite voices.
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:49 He DOES sing beautifully!
	🥁 3:50pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Barcelona" by "Rufus Wainwright" Getting notes of Nilsson & Ron Sexsmith, or is that just me?
	3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Galaxy of Emptiness" by "Beth Orton" Computer bass?
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:51 Double bass, according to the CD
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:50 Def Nilsson
	3:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 I hear it, but those are LOOOOOONG bass notes!
	3:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Galaxy of Emptiness" by "Beth Orton" Okay, I know Leslie owns this CD too, haven't heard it in at least twenty years... and I can't find it :'(
	3:56pm patrick321: Hey Larry and all
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @3:56 Hi patrick!
	🥁 4:01pm Brian in UK: Bring on melodica man.
	4:08pm Sem: Nice, nice, nice, this.
	4:08pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" by "Korgis" Love that Korgis track.
	4:13pm Erica: I'm not in looove
	4:13pm Vincent The Soul Chef: This song just melts my face every single time <3
	4:13pm Fred R: Good afternoon Larry and all!
	4:13pm Erica: Big boys don't cry.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:13 Hiya Fred!
	4:14pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Check out Olive's cover from 2000. Just nice.
	🥁 4:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" Always thought this had a connection to Darryl Hall & John Oates 'She's Gone'.
	4:14pm Woo: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" I love this song. My friends and I would drive around stoned in 1975 waiting for it to come on the radio.
	4:14pm still b/p: I though this was Mac and Wings first time I heard it on the radio. I think I was in the back of someone's van with a cluster of people.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:14 I don't know Olive. Band? Singer?
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: ↳ Erica @4:13 That was 10cc's secretary speaking.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:14 Hi Woo! I was 13 when this came out and I was entranced, but also deeply confused by it.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:14 It's be a good segue
	4:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 An electronica band, Larry. I'll post the link on the bookface machine.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:16 Thank you sir!
	4:16pm Erica: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" I heard so many covers of this song on a station called FM Horizonte 94.3, one of them being by Will to Power.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:16 I'll have to look for that.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: North of Englands Wall of Softness!!
	4:19pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:17 Will to Power were a late 80s pop group that had a hit with their version of Frampton's Baby I Love Your Way.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:19 I remember that. I've never heard their 10CC cover
	4:20pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 It's from 1990. Check it out when you can.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: I lovethis intersection of Arab music and the ECM vibe
	🥁 4:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "Barzakh" by "Anouar Brahem" Hi Larry, yes, me too.
	4:25pm northguineahills: ok, migraine is subsiding, i can comment again. only more minutes of work to go...
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Barzakh" by "Anouar Brahem" and amazing! david dichelle played this 5 years ago. a fave of mine!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:26 I have another one of his albums with slightly busier instrumentation (clarinet, I think)
	4:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:16 You also need to check out Hugo Largo. A Brian Eno discovery from the late 80s. Michael Stipe makes a cameo appearance on their first album. Sublime... also, this definitely sounds like it was made for the ECM label.
	🥁 4:28pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 As the cliche goes; less is more.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:27 That name I know
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:28 It almost sounds like an instrumental version of the call to prayer
	4:30pm Fred R: Always liked the Richie Havens version of this! Nice
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: Since they amplified the muezzin, you get an early morning call around 5am.
	4:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "Richie Havens" faved this this three years ago, here! best cover outside of furxasa's!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 Who's?
	4:34pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 I remember that episode. I also remember being floored as it was the first time I ever heard this cover.
	4:35pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 Richie Havens... I've been on a bender with him lately :)
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "Richie Havens" Another master of the "slow down" (love his slowed down take on Bob Dylan's Just Like A Woman)
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:35 There are some other great covers on that album
	🥁 4:37pm WR: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 book marking Furxasa for future exploration. Heading out to shop before dinner, thank you! Interesting survey of recordings today!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:37 Later WR!
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Effi" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Nice Modal Jazz The band: Bobby Hutcherson - vibraphone James Spaulding - alto saxophone 4 tracks, flute 3 tracks Stanley Cowell - piano Reggie Workman - bass Joe Chambers - drums
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 One of my favorite albums, specifically because of James Spaulding. Recorded in 1968 but nor released until the 80s as part of the Connoisseur Series
	4:45pm Sem: Lovin' this. That growl...
	4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 i'd need to find it, but i'm at work and firewalled...
	4:45pm Erica: Now this is a cover!
	4:46pm Sem: ...almost Lonnie Holley-ish.
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Found it, it's FURSAXA
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Expecting To Fly" by "Buffalo Springfield" yes!
	🥁 4:50pm Brian in UK: Nice work Larry. Looking forward to the marafun. We shall overcome.
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, thanks Larry!
	4:52pm northguineahills: thanks larry, i'm feeling almost normal again. you slayed it!
	4:52pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh my, the inspiration... thank you much for the jams.
	4:53pm Woo: Richie Havens was my first concert. 1971. I won tickets on the radio.
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Loved the mood in today's show. Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Woo: It's too bad that Springfield reunion a few years ago didn't keep going. But you knew it wouldn't. Because Neil.
	4:55pm Erica: Nice relaxing show this week Larry. Gotta prepare for the marathon.
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:55 I've heard some very unpleasant things about how Stills treated Neil during the original Springfield days
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	4:56pm Sem: TY, Larry. See you and all during Marathon.
	4:56pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:56 Bye Sem!
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:56 Thank You, Erica!

	3:05pm Erica: Today we also remember Davy Jones of the Monkees who died on this day in 2012.
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:04 Hey NGH. Sorry to hear all that. I hope things take a turn upward.
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:05 I can't believe it's been that long, and that we only have one Monkee and two Beatles left
	3:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "All I Need" by "Air" ha, i was just listening to this last weekend!
	3:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:05 i have my own apt in brooklyn now, and a job i love, so, i have that!
	3:08pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:06 Sad I know.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:07 Such a great album
	🥁 3:08pm Brian in UK: Larry, call me Kelly & I will watch the stars.
	3:08pm still b/p: ELO was interesting to me in that period, but then soon -- as also happened with other bands, of course -- when there seemed to be an endless stream of less interesting things sliding down the chute of Top 40 hits...it was "Oy, enough awredddy."
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:08 Hi Brian!
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:08 Hey SBP!
	🥁 3:09pm WLSClark: ↳ Erica @3:00 Leap day? You mean I delivered all my "March baskets" a day too early? ;)
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:09 Hi Clark!
	3:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:08 amen! (and great vids to go w/ it!)
	🥁 3:10pm WLSClark: Hi Larry, Erica, bradford, Brian, TDK, NGHils, yvang and all! Where's ANDREW???
	🥁 3:11pm Brian in UK: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 in Toronto!!!
	🥁 3:11pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New Star In the Sky" by "Air" Ground control to Moon Safari!
	🥁 3:11pm Yvang: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 WLSClark Hello!
	3:12pm TDK60: ↳ Yvang @3:03 Hi Yvang. That was a Havens album cover, I think.
	🥁 3:12pm WLSClark: ↳ Brian in UK @3:11 haha
	🥁 3:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "New Star In the Sky" by "Air" Some albums stop time & this is one of them.
	3:12pm bradford: ↳ Yvang @3:02 Howdy Yvang!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:12 It's the cover photo from The End of the Beginning
	3:13pm bradford: ↳ WLSClark @3:10 Hey there Clark!
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:12 Yeah, it doesn't feel 25 years old
	3:14pm TDK60: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:12 Oddly, don't think I heard that one, or forget. I'm always pushing his last slab, "Nobody Left to Crown." It showed he was still current with his folkrockn.'
	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there, Larry, and all other listeners!
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Hey Andrew!
	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @3:12 Hiya, Clark!
	🥁 3:15pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Hey Andrew!
	3:15pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:03 hola, Sem!
	🥁 3:16pm WLSClark: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Bout time, Sam! haha
	3:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy In New York" by "Simon and Ga... Hi Larry, Testifiers! Paul Simon is something like my wife's 3rd cousin once removed-and, can you believe, he's never been in touch with the family!!! (as my daughter would say, "that's the REAL sound of silence")
	3:18pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:17 Hey Doc!
	3:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:15 Paul always has the cream of the crop and far as band members are concerned.
	3:19pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @3:17 Paul would have you sign a non-disclosure agreement before he would allow a call.
	3:20pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @3:15 Hey, Yvang!
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:19 As much as I love his music, he seems like kind of a pain in the ass
	🥁 3:20pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Only Living Boy In New York" by "Simon and Ga... Ah Larry my favourite track on as Half Man, Half Biscuit would call it. Trouble Over Bridgwater.
	3:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nobody's Fault But Mine" by "Beck" love this album too! (it took a while for it to grow on me)
	3:21pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:20 Way more than that. Ask any of the Los Lobos guys.
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:20 There was a time where I had this album playing on a loop.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @3:08 i was fully into "a new world record", but immediately following that was elo trying a new wave formula... unsuccessfully in my opinion. and i don't think they were ever very creative after that, although i probably haven't heard it all
	🥁 3:22pm Brian in UK: This & Sea Change do the job.
	3:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:22 I never need to hear Don't Bring Me Down again, EVER
	3:23pm TDK60: Ho, Salops Brian.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: Roger Manning from Jellyfish is all over this album
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:23 haha,yeah. -really didn't need to hear it the first time!
	🥁 3:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @3:23 TDK60. Apologies if mentioned before but have you seen the Cropredy lineup this year?
	3:26pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @3:25 Yes, I wasn't so excited. But I'm sure it will be a Fair anyway. I do have to say hello but I must be going!.....
	🥁 3:26pm Brian in UK: Never got pass the Idle Race.
	3:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Just got in, and I need to dig that ELO record out to give it a go. Hello everyone.
	3:27pm northguineahills: there's also the 60s herbie mann jazz band, air.
	3:27pm coelacanth∅: i agree about Lynn's production. ... i like cecelia though!
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" and THIS
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:27 Hey Vincent!
	3:28pm TDK60: Gracias, right reverend of Sonics, Larry. Bye!...
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ TDK60 @3:28 Bye TDK60!
	3:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Walk On By" by "Isaac Hayes" How Slow can you go? (Hayes is the Soul Equivalent of Vanilla Fudge-any song worth covering is worth slowing to a crawl! And he pulls it off!)
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: This arrangement is next level brilliant
	3:31pm bradford: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:31 Agreed! My jaw dropped the first time I heard this...
	3:32pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:15 Hello, AiT!
	3:32pm still b/p: Wonder what Bacharach's take on this woulda been? Maybe he thought it was way outa the box but perfect low-lights-and-nightcap music.
	🥁 3:33pm WLSClark: SO, sweat will break out on my forehead this weekend as I scribble out shows to pledge and then cross out some and add some and then FEEL GUILTY! Anyway, gotta go now. Bye.
	🥁 3:33pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @3:29 Doc I see your Vanilla Fudge & raise the Cowboy Junkies for slowness.
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:32 That's a great question!
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:33 Bye Clark!
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:33 I liked their version of Sweet Jane, but that album just makes me sleepy.
	3:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @3:33 ;- )
	🥁 3:35pm Brian in UK: ↳ still b/p @3:32 Probably liked it as much as Love's take on My Little Red Book!
	3:35pm Sem: Missed this when originally released, I guess I walked on by. Early 70s got into this, digging the sloooooooooow.
	🥁 3:37pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:35 HELLO SEM OVER THE WATER.
	3:37pm Funky16Corners: Ike was the master of symphonic bedroom music. This is pants-loosening (or tightening...) music.
	3:38pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:37 Hello, Brian over on the other side of the big water. All our water is frozen ( -25C w/ wind this eve.)
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: i've played this track on the jukebox at the pub several times. always a mixed reaction; always the extremes of reaction.
	🥁 3:40pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:38 Oh boy, about time you had some proper winter!!!. We have have minimal frost. But so much frigging rain.
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: ( ^ Isaac's walk on by, that is)
	🥁 3:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Flight and Lion" by "Eric Matthews" Larry talking about albums, this reminds me of moving into our previous house.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: Last night we went from 59 degrees down to around 30, with ferocious winds. Just as I was going to sleep a branch fell on the roof. Not big enough to do any damage but big enough to make a noise that scared the shit out of everyone in the house.
	3:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:42 I love this album so much, but it sucks that he turned out to be such a creep. He's a "men's rights" weirdo.
	🥁 3:43pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 Enjoy the music not the musician. Know what you mean.
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:43 Yup
	3:44pm doctorjazz: Cold, brrr, got a new puppy, have to take her out really often, freeze my kazatzkas off...
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:44 That's rough on winter nights
	3:44pm Sem: ↳ Brian in UK @3:40 Consider rice in the garden, Brian. When Nature gives you a deluge...
	🥁 3:47pm Brian in UK: Larry, you really hitting some tracks tonight that have resonance over here.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:47 I'm glad you're digging them!
	🥁 3:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:44 Yes, some terraces as the garden descends.
	3:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Barcelona" by "Rufus Wainwright" I love that Rufus rebelled against his folkie parents by singing operatically!
	3:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:42 glad there was no damage. ...got that beat up here, going from >62f to ~27 at night! (and the intense wind made it happen very efficiently)
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:49 He has one of my favorite voices.
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:49 He DOES sing beautifully!
	🥁 3:50pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Barcelona" by "Rufus Wainwright" Getting notes of Nilsson & Ron Sexsmith, or is that just me?
	3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Galaxy of Emptiness" by "Beth Orton" Computer bass?
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:51 Double bass, according to the CD
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:50 Def Nilsson
	3:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 I hear it, but those are LOOOOOONG bass notes!
	3:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Song: "Galaxy of Emptiness" by "Beth Orton" Okay, I know Leslie owns this CD too, haven't heard it in at least twenty years... and I can't find it :'(
	3:56pm patrick321: Hey Larry and all
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ patrick321 @3:56 Hi patrick!
	🥁 4:01pm Brian in UK: Bring on melodica man.
	4:08pm Sem: Nice, nice, nice, this.
	4:08pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" by "Korgis" Love that Korgis track.
	4:13pm Erica: I'm not in looove
	4:13pm Vincent The Soul Chef: This song just melts my face every single time <3
	4:13pm Fred R: Good afternoon Larry and all!
	4:13pm Erica: Big boys don't cry.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:13 Hiya Fred!
	4:14pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Check out Olive's cover from 2000. Just nice.
	🥁 4:14pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" Always thought this had a connection to Darryl Hall & John Oates 'She's Gone'.
	4:14pm Woo: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" I love this song. My friends and I would drive around stoned in 1975 waiting for it to come on the radio.
	4:14pm still b/p: I though this was Mac and Wings first time I heard it on the radio. I think I was in the back of someone's van with a cluster of people.
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:14 I don't know Olive. Band? Singer?
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: ↳ Erica @4:13 That was 10cc's secretary speaking.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:14 Hi Woo! I was 13 when this came out and I was entranced, but also deeply confused by it.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:14 It's be a good segue
	4:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 An electronica band, Larry. I'll post the link on the bookface machine.
	4:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:16 Thank you sir!
	4:16pm Erica: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "10cc" I heard so many covers of this song on a station called FM Horizonte 94.3, one of them being by Will to Power.
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:16 I'll have to look for that.
	🥁 4:17pm Brian in UK: North of Englands Wall of Softness!!
	4:19pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:17 Will to Power were a late 80s pop group that had a hit with their version of Frampton's Baby I Love Your Way.
	4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:19 I remember that. I've never heard their 10CC cover
	4:20pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:19 It's from 1990. Check it out when you can.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: I lovethis intersection of Arab music and the ECM vibe
	🥁 4:25pm WR: ↳ Song: "Barzakh" by "Anouar Brahem" Hi Larry, yes, me too.
	4:25pm northguineahills: ok, migraine is subsiding, i can comment again. only more minutes of work to go...
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Barzakh" by "Anouar Brahem" and amazing! david dichelle played this 5 years ago. a fave of mine!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:26 I have another one of his albums with slightly busier instrumentation (clarinet, I think)
	4:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:16 You also need to check out Hugo Largo. A Brian Eno discovery from the late 80s. Michael Stipe makes a cameo appearance on their first album. Sublime... also, this definitely sounds like it was made for the ECM label.
	🥁 4:28pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:27 As the cliche goes; less is more.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:27 That name I know
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:28 It almost sounds like an instrumental version of the call to prayer
	4:30pm Fred R: Always liked the Richie Havens version of this! Nice
	🥁 4:31pm Brian in UK: Since they amplified the muezzin, you get an early morning call around 5am.
	4:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "Richie Havens" faved this this three years ago, here! best cover outside of furxasa's!
	4:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 Who's?
	4:34pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 I remember that episode. I also remember being floored as it was the first time I ever heard this cover.
	4:35pm Vincent The Soul Chef: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 Richie Havens... I've been on a bender with him lately :)
	4:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'm Not In Love" by "Richie Havens" Another master of the "slow down" (love his slowed down take on Bob Dylan's Just Like A Woman)
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @4:35 There are some other great covers on that album
	🥁 4:37pm WR: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 book marking Furxasa for future exploration. Heading out to shop before dinner, thank you! Interesting survey of recordings today!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:37 Later WR!
	4:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Effi" by "Bobby Hutcherson" Nice Modal Jazz The band: Bobby Hutcherson - vibraphone James Spaulding - alto saxophone 4 tracks, flute 3 tracks Stanley Cowell - piano Reggie Workman - bass Joe Chambers - drums
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:40 One of my favorite albums, specifically because of James Spaulding. Recorded in 1968 but nor released until the 80s as part of the Connoisseur Series
	4:45pm Sem: Lovin' this. That growl...
	4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:34 i'd need to find it, but i'm at work and firewalled...
	4:45pm Erica: Now this is a cover!
	4:46pm Sem: ...almost Lonnie Holley-ish.
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Found it, it's FURSAXA
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Expecting To Fly" by "Buffalo Springfield" yes!
	🥁 4:50pm Brian in UK: Nice work Larry. Looking forward to the marafun. We shall overcome.
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, thanks Larry!
	4:52pm northguineahills: thanks larry, i'm feeling almost normal again. you slayed it!
	4:52pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh my, the inspiration... thank you much for the jams.
	4:53pm Woo: Richie Havens was my first concert. 1971. I won tickets on the radio.
	🥁 4:55pm Yvang: Loved the mood in today's show. Thanks Larry!
	4:55pm Woo: It's too bad that Springfield reunion a few years ago didn't keep going. But you knew it wouldn't. Because Neil.
	4:55pm Erica: Nice relaxing show this week Larry. Gotta prepare for the marathon.
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks!
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:55 I've heard some very unpleasant things about how Stills treated Neil during the original Springfield days
	4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	4:56pm Sem: TY, Larry. See you and all during Marathon.
	4:56pm bradford: Thanks as always, Larry.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:56 Bye Sem!
