	10:03pm Matt from New Orleans: What does one of the Davies brothers know about Thanksgiving? Stick to the village green.
	10:03pm northguineahills: I was going to say, I haven't heard this Ray Davies, then I saw the year of the release...
	10:04pm Funky16Corners: NGH!

	10:04pm Franco Twinkie: Well said Matt.
	10:04pm Erica: Haha! I just realized that since Ray is English.
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Ray has lived in New Orleans for a while
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Does that make him Evelyn Waugh?
	10:06pm Erica: Interesting Larry. Awkward, huh Matt?
	10:06pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m well aware. I’ve seen him a number of times.
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Waugh lived in NOLA?
	10:07pm northguineahills: I like T-giving better then xmas, there are xmas lights up everywhere all over both my bros'. neighborhoods, and they took my parents to some Disney xmas light crap. I said no thanks (and it costs money)
	10:08pm chresti: 2005, Hurricane Katrina..
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: I saw the first Christmas lights in our neighborhood yesterday
	10:08pm northguineahills: Not familiar w/ Zuilder Zee, digdug!
	10:08pm Franco Twinkie: No Larry, he just made astute observations about Yanks.
	🥁 10:09pm WR: Hi all. Since Father Christmas I only listen to holiday by Ray Davies.
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	10:10pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - I have to thank Uncle Micheal for turning me on to Zuider Zee.
	10:12pm Franco Twinkie: This is a great overlooked album. I love how Bob has ditched the buckskin and looks all preppy on the cover.
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - He looks like he's wearing a varsity jacket!
	10:14pm ParUbi: Hi Larry and everyone!
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: He is!
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey ParUbi!
	10:15pm Erica: I knew that name sounded familiar, James Griffin would be a member of Bread later on.
	🥁 10:16pm WR: I fully admit I never heard of Zuider Zee before. Were they Dutch?
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yup! @WR - Midwestern, I believe
	10:17pm Matt from New Orleans: Don’t get Larry started on David Gates or Bread Erica.
	10:17pm still b/p: Wind might prevent appearance by Macy parade balloons tomorrow. They oughta make special ones that they break out only for rough conditions days -- spiky Mad Max-y balloons and fighting balloons and and let havoc rule over 34th St. and let attendees beware and be bold.
	10:18pm Erica: Hey Matt, I like David Gates and Bread.
	10:18pm doctorjazz: Like this Vince Guaraldi, thanks, Larry!
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: Hey now. You need bread to make great turkey stuffing.
	10:18pm ParUbi: Ugh, tribes of necessity. Damnation is a good word.
	10:21pm Erica: I watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special each year.
	10:21pm Dean: Korn Bread
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: hey Larry and all
	10:22pm ParUbi: Some nice word-slinging there, Larry!
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Dean!
	10:22pm Funky16Corners: Thanks ParUbi!
	10:23pm Matt from New Orleans: Big Boy has an interesting website www.bigboypete.com
	10:23pm Funky16Corners: @Matt & Erica - I dig David Gates and Bread @SBP - I heard that the wind may exceed the recommended speed for the inflatables in the parade
	10:24pm Erica: Also, why must we only be thankful for just people on Thanksgiving? There are other things to be thankful for like medicines, food, and being able to make it to today.
	10:24pm Doug Schulkind: I am thankful for Testify! Oh yeah!
	10:24pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! You just missed your long distance dedication!
	10:25pm Erica: I am thankful for the fact we live in modern times where there's medicines, plumbing, different places to buy food, a family to care for me and of course cats. They provide comfort and relieve stress.
	10:25pm coelacanth∅: i don't see any reason why Ray Davies wouldn't understand as much about thanksgiving day as anyone else. and because he's sensitive and 25x more conscious than most people he probably gets it better than most americans, who generally don't get it at all.
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: i don't remember ever seeing a charlie brown thanksgiving, though i feel like i must have.
	10:28pm ParUbi: @Erica-- Right, cats, and other forms of nonhuman life we depend on. And the elements. Yes!
	10:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey, I thanked our pets!
	10:29pm Erica: Good for you Larry. Now I'm thanking MY pet.
	10:29pm Erica: I'm also thankful for good music (forgot to add that one).
	10:29pm ParUbi: @Coel-- I remember seeing it, but I don't remember anything that happened.
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: i give Thanks every time i eat animal flesh, so about once/week; i don't just give Thanks for the food though. then, and when i see roadkill or a car crash are pretty much the only times i do something that might be called praying
	10:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry I don’t quite agree with your take on Thanksgiving but taking time to reflect on the good things in your life is worthwhile.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: That's cool
	10:33pm Erica: Finger Lickin' Good. I didn't know we were having KFC for Thanksgiving. Haha!
	10:33pm coelacanth∅: s b/p @10.17 hahaha!
	10:33pm Erica: Reflect isn't the word Matt, rather realize and appreciate the good things.
	10:33pm ParUbi: Providence makes some degree of sense to me, but I think that the principle behind it is beyond good & evil and crazy
	10:34pm Doug Schulkind: Sorry, Larry. Wasn’t able to tune in till just now.!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Not a problem, Doug. You know how I feel about being on the stream!
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: okay this track is more up my alley!
	10:38pm Doug Schulkind: The feeling is mutual!
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: This whole George Semper album is excellent. It was reissued along the way somewhere.
	10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a shame Mr Semper didn’t record much
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I have a 45 from after this, and a few things he produced but not much else
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: okay lets mix the greens then -even better (alongside some red beans and rice and black olives)
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: any songs about a festive ale coming up?!
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: If I was cooking I'd def make some collard greens!
	10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: The library album he recorded in the 80s is great www.discogs.com...
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @C - No libations in tonight's playlist!
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: Unless you can get drunk on buttermilk or gravy
	10:42pm Matt from New Orleans: My buddy Malachi reissued a 45 of two tracks off it last year. www.discogs.com...
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: it's okay. the meal's coming together nicely. byob?
	10:44pm Dean: I prefer to drink opb.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: In 2004 Chrestis mom was in the hospital on Thanksgiving day. Before we went to see her, I suggested we stop and eat in Berkeley. Well, even across the American grain Berkeley was closed up tight. We eventually found an Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet. They had all the usual dishes- curries, masalas, ect, plus a giant golden brown turkey as the center piece. I was the first person to pick up the carving knife. Under the perfectly acceptable toasty surface it was a molten ball of pink ooze. It was totally raw on the inside! These people had obviously never cooked a turkey before. I looked at the two guys who were probably the owners and they looked at me with such hopeful expressions on their faces I just smiled and put down the carving tools and moved onto the other dishes, which were fine. That night we drank Wild Turkey whiskey and made a pizza.
	10:45pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m smoking a few Turkeys tonight. I prepped them this afternoon. Freshest turkeys I’ve ever dealt with. They were slaughtered yesterday.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: Dean - "onion pickle brine"?
	10:46pm doctorjazz: Cornbread and Buttermilk was really yummy!
	10:47pm Dean: other people's booze Yeah, you know me.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:48pm Dean: There ain't no town in America that never sleeps.
	10:48pm Erica: I forgot to change my profile pic for Thanksgiving. I gotta remember to have one ready for Christmas.
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: what is "sweet potato gravy"? is it gravy that (sadly) would be poured on sweet potatoes? or some kind of liquid made with sweet potatoes?
	10:49pm Erica: The Les Nessman one is only for this show.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: @C - I do not know. I would like to, though.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: As god is my witness, I though turkey's could fly...
	10:52pm Erica: Oh the humanity!
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: i eat my sweet potatoes frequently, and with flax oil, ume vinegar and some rosemary. sometimes chopped onion &/or ginger.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: What is ume vinegar?
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: www.youtube.com... They’re flying here around 40 secs in
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Plum vinegar Larry from Japan
	10:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Umeboshi
	10:54pm Dean: My contribution to the feast tomorrow will be a tiramisu.
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Interesting!
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Oooooh, I love tiramisu!
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: wild turkeys fly. sometimes into my sister's yard -presumably to socialize with 3 dogs
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: We get wild turkeys around here now and again.
	10:55pm CalZone!: HTG LG!
	10:55pm Dean: Turkeys stroll very slowly across very busy streets.
	10:57pm Erica: Steam went out. No joke.
	10:57pm Jeff Ash: Stream dropped.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: show just cut out Larry
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: We just lost power. I was worried about this with the high winds
	10:58pm Dean: Calypso? Mambo?
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ah,shit.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I’m going to give it about ten minutes. If it doesn’t come back I’m going to have to close up shop.
	10:59pm Jeff Ash: If it helps when you resume, you were just about done talking about the Booker T cut.
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: your whole house doing without now?
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: Bummer.
	10:59pm Jeff Ash: All good, man. Can't control the weather.
	11:00pm Erica: What about Mixlr?
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Whole house out
	11:00pm Erica: Power outage Larry? I'm so sorry.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: sorry to hear it Larry hope it doesn't last long
	11:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Hopefully you have gas heat.
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: (and hope the house doesn't get too cold)
	11:03pm Dean: Thanks for nothing, utilities.
	11:04pm doctorjazz: Good luck Larry!
	11:04pm Erica: I hate when the power goes out. You and your family are stuck talking to each other. Thankfully I've only experienced power outages at night.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: yeah almost every apartment i've ever lived in it didn't matter that the heat was gas or oil because of the electronics controlling it, or the fans pushing the air into the house.
	11:07pm Erica: Luckily it's just windy where I'm located.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: at night is the worst time! daytime i'd just get in my car and go to somewhere that has power, or to hang with people somewhere that doesn't.
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: I guess I'll just go to bed and listen to the rain.
	11:08pm Erica: I'll stay tuned in until 12 just to be safe. Goodnight Franco.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: markr is on the wfmu main, playing good songs. i'll keep watching this page for a bit though.
	11:11pm doctorjazz: Stream time...pretty windy here in Central Jersey, but still have power (hosting tomorrow would be fun without it). Night all!
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: Sorry guys, I have to bail. See you next week.
	11:12pm Erica: Sorry Larry. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: good luck Larry and Thanks! hope your holiday is great anyway! tchau
	11:14pm rw: I’m thankful for any portion of Testify we can receive. Thank you F16!! Have a happy TG!!
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys! Happy Thanksgiving!
	🥁 11:16pm WR: Thank you Larry. Hope no complications to deal with due to the power outage. All the best to you and your family.
	1:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey guys! I made it back into the studio, resolved what turned out to be hardware issues (as oppsed to a blackout) and finished the show. Watch for a complete version of the show in this spot later today!

	10:33pm coelacanth∅: s b/p @10.17 hahaha!
	10:33pm Erica: Reflect isn't the word Matt, rather realize and appreciate the good things.
	10:33pm ParUbi: Providence makes some degree of sense to me, but I think that the principle behind it is beyond good & evil and crazy
	10:34pm Doug Schulkind: Sorry, Larry. Wasn’t able to tune in till just now.!
	10:35pm Funky16Corners: Not a problem, Doug. You know how I feel about being on the stream!
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: okay this track is more up my alley!
	10:38pm Doug Schulkind: The feeling is mutual!
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: This whole George Semper album is excellent. It was reissued along the way somewhere.
	10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a shame Mr Semper didn’t record much
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I have a 45 from after this, and a few things he produced but not much else
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: okay lets mix the greens then -even better (alongside some red beans and rice and black olives)
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: any songs about a festive ale coming up?!
	10:40pm Funky16Corners: If I was cooking I'd def make some collard greens!
	10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: The library album he recorded in the 80s is great www.discogs.com...
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: @C - No libations in tonight's playlist!
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: Unless you can get drunk on buttermilk or gravy
	10:42pm Matt from New Orleans: My buddy Malachi reissued a 45 of two tracks off it last year. www.discogs.com...
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: it's okay. the meal's coming together nicely. byob?
	10:44pm Dean: I prefer to drink opb.
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: In 2004 Chrestis mom was in the hospital on Thanksgiving day. Before we went to see her, I suggested we stop and eat in Berkeley. Well, even across the American grain Berkeley was closed up tight. We eventually found an Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet. They had all the usual dishes- curries, masalas, ect, plus a giant golden brown turkey as the center piece. I was the first person to pick up the carving knife. Under the perfectly acceptable toasty surface it was a molten ball of pink ooze. It was totally raw on the inside! These people had obviously never cooked a turkey before. I looked at the two guys who were probably the owners and they looked at me with such hopeful expressions on their faces I just smiled and put down the carving tools and moved onto the other dishes, which were fine. That night we drank Wild Turkey whiskey and made a pizza.
	10:45pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m smoking a few Turkeys tonight. I prepped them this afternoon. Freshest turkeys I’ve ever dealt with. They were slaughtered yesterday.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: Dean - "onion pickle brine"?
	10:46pm doctorjazz: Cornbread and Buttermilk was really yummy!
	10:47pm Dean: other people's booze Yeah, you know me.
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:48pm Dean: There ain't no town in America that never sleeps.
	10:48pm Erica: I forgot to change my profile pic for Thanksgiving. I gotta remember to have one ready for Christmas.
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: what is "sweet potato gravy"? is it gravy that (sadly) would be poured on sweet potatoes? or some kind of liquid made with sweet potatoes?
	10:49pm Erica: The Les Nessman one is only for this show.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: @C - I do not know. I would like to, though.
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: As god is my witness, I though turkey's could fly...
	10:52pm Erica: Oh the humanity!
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: i eat my sweet potatoes frequently, and with flax oil, ume vinegar and some rosemary. sometimes chopped onion &/or ginger.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: What is ume vinegar?
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: www.youtube.com... They’re flying here around 40 secs in
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Plum vinegar Larry from Japan
	10:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Umeboshi
	10:54pm Dean: My contribution to the feast tomorrow will be a tiramisu.
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Interesting!
	10:54pm Funky16Corners: Oooooh, I love tiramisu!
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: wild turkeys fly. sometimes into my sister's yard -presumably to socialize with 3 dogs
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: We get wild turkeys around here now and again.
	10:55pm CalZone!: HTG LG!
	10:55pm Dean: Turkeys stroll very slowly across very busy streets.
	10:57pm Erica: Steam went out. No joke.
	10:57pm Jeff Ash: Stream dropped.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: show just cut out Larry
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: We just lost power. I was worried about this with the high winds
	10:58pm Dean: Calypso? Mambo?
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ah,shit.
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: I’m going to give it about ten minutes. If it doesn’t come back I’m going to have to close up shop.
	10:59pm Jeff Ash: If it helps when you resume, you were just about done talking about the Booker T cut.
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: your whole house doing without now?
	10:59pm Matt from New Orleans: Bummer.
	10:59pm Jeff Ash: All good, man. Can't control the weather.
	11:00pm Erica: What about Mixlr?
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: Whole house out
	11:00pm Erica: Power outage Larry? I'm so sorry.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: sorry to hear it Larry hope it doesn't last long
	11:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Hopefully you have gas heat.
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: (and hope the house doesn't get too cold)
	11:03pm Dean: Thanks for nothing, utilities.
	11:04pm doctorjazz: Good luck Larry!
	11:04pm Erica: I hate when the power goes out. You and your family are stuck talking to each other. Thankfully I've only experienced power outages at night.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: yeah almost every apartment i've ever lived in it didn't matter that the heat was gas or oil because of the electronics controlling it, or the fans pushing the air into the house.
	11:07pm Erica: Luckily it's just windy where I'm located.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: at night is the worst time! daytime i'd just get in my car and go to somewhere that has power, or to hang with people somewhere that doesn't.
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: I guess I'll just go to bed and listen to the rain.
	11:08pm Erica: I'll stay tuned in until 12 just to be safe. Goodnight Franco.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: markr is on the wfmu main, playing good songs. i'll keep watching this page for a bit though.
	11:11pm doctorjazz: Stream time...pretty windy here in Central Jersey, but still have power (hosting tomorrow would be fun without it). Night all!
	11:11pm Funky16Corners: Sorry guys, I have to bail. See you next week.
	11:12pm Erica: Sorry Larry. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
