	3:09pm Erica: I'm here.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	3:10pm Erica: Behaving is boring.
	3:10pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a shame that there isn’t a good four disc compilation for Larry across his body of work.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: I think there are too many labels involved. Same problem with Ike and Tina
	3:10pm Hubig Pie: I believe the Capitol record was VI, not to be a comment board know it all
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: HubigPie! You are correct!
	3:11pm Matt from New Orleans: John Broven did a solid two disc comp for Ace of the Specialty years.
	🥁 3:13pm dutchtheo: Hello in there, Larry and testifiers to Larry Williams (and the Beatles) in time for "to late"
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Most of his 60s work was wit CBS associated labels, so someoneo could do that
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	3:13pm SquigY0: YES! I figured it out!
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: SquigYo!
	3:14pm SquigY0: Funky Larry Corners! Happy day after fake tax day!
	3:17pm Julie: this is one of those shows I'm like, I know nothing about music.
	3:17pm SquigY0: Larry's shows I always feel dumb yet smarter at the same time
	3:20pm Funky16Corners: Hey Julie!
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: @SquigYO - I think that's a good thing?
	3:21pm SquigY0: a lil of this, lil of that :P
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: This one, co-written by none other that Sonny Bono!
	3:25pm Matt from New Orleans: I know Harold Batiste was working for Art Rupe at this time but it seemed like he didn’t have anything to do with production.
	3:28pm SquigY0: whistles along
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: The amount of references to other songs in this one is reaching critical mass
	3:29pm SquigY0: heheh love it!
	3:29pm Matt from New Orleans: Or at least only worked with acts he brought in. I can’t imagine Art was coming down to New Orleans that often to supervise sessions at Cosimo’s. Harold’s memoir is unfortunately isn’t very detailed on this time.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: Whenever I try to find out detailed recording info about New Orleans stuff I'm convinced that 90% of the work was off the books and most of the people were either intoxicated or on the run from the law
	3:32pm SquigY0: ha
	3:33pm Erica: Digging this version of Slow Down more than the Beatles version.
	3:35pm Matt from New Orleans: Art wouldn’t allow Harold to sign Irma Thomas, Chris Kenner and Allen Toussaint. He might not have abandoned his efforts in New Orleans had he had some foresight instead of being pissed that Lew Chudd was kicking his ass.
	🥁 3:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): salutations, Larry and WFMU kin!
	3:39pm SquigY0: solicitations granny
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny!
	3:40pm Erica: Hi Granny
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Can you imagine how different New Orleans music in the 60s would have been?
	🥁 3:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Great set, great to see you all here!
	3:42pm SquigY0: nowhere else to go! :D.
	3:44pm Erica: Do the monkey
	3:44pm Erica: I always wanted to say that. Haha!
	3:44pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m assuming you’re going to play Two For The Price of One
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: You assume correctly!
	3:45pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Does anyone remember how to do the monkey?
	🥁 3:45pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Erica: WFMU makes so many dreams come true!
	3:45pm doctorjazz: Great stuff, not familiar with it, loving it!
	3:46pm Erica: I know how to swing my arms up and down. Is that right Larry?
	🥁 3:46pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): My generation shocked the monkey
	3:46pm SquigY0: dances on the keyboard
	3:46pm Erica: Peter Gabriel reference there Granny?
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - That could be any number of dances, but I believe it is part of the monkey
	3:47pm Matt from New Orleans: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:47pm Erica: Ok Larry.
	3:48pm Matt from New Orleans: I do not think I could do The Monkey
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: I restrict myself to the Sleepy Gorilla. Doesn't change much from my normal stance
	3:49pm SquigY0: lol
	🥁 3:49pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Erica: yes, indeed, i was solidly the target audience for MTV in the early 80s!
	3:50pm Erica: Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey.
	3:51pm Erica: Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: Those instructions are intense. Who knew it could be so complicated?
	🥁 3:51pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Funky16Corners: are you familiar with the band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum?
	3:52pm Erica: Oops it was posted twice. Don't need spamming here.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: I am not, but I will look them up.
	🥁 3:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): A phenomenal Bay Area band that no longer exists, though former members are still making amazing music in bands like Faun Fables and Rabbit Rabbit Radio
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: If you have a second, go look up this album. GREATEST ALBUM COVER OF ALL TIME!
	3:54pm Erica: Gangster of love? Not a space cowboy?
	🥁 3:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha ha! excellent cover!!!
	3:55pm Matt from New Orleans: I actually prefer the 45 picture sleeve with the green font www.discogs.com...
	3:55pm SquigY0: yeeeeehaw!!
	🥁 3:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i'd love to see some outtakes from that photoshoot
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Gangster of Love was one of Johnny Guitar Watson's early hits in the 50s
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: I wanna testify.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:59pm SquigY0: then you've come to the right place, Brian!
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: AMEN
	4:00pm doctorjazz: Great Zawinul cover, get the grease in it!
	4:00pm Erica: Oh really? I was making a Steve Miller Band reference by the way. Also I never heard this soulful version of Mercy Mercy Mercy before.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Steve got it from Johnny!
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Great album (I'm trying to cut down, CUT IT OUT!)
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: One of the great soul albums of the 60s
	4:04pm Erica: The more you know.
	4:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Is that a French issue?
	🥁 4:05pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Erica: Yeah, i think Steve Miller's song refers to a lot of great musicians he was influenced by!
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: It is
	🥁 4:06pm dutchtheo: David Lindley i presume
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: You presume correctly!
	4:06pm CHUCK ROAST: I think Johnny is using a Fender Fuzz-Wah on that last one.
	🥁 4:07pm Brian in UK: Guess we could all cut a mean rug, given the facilities.
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: I think all the instruments on that are by the Kaleidoscope, so maybe one of them?
	4:08pm CHUCK ROAST: Aaaaah
	🥁 4:09pm Brian in UK: Side Trips and Beacon from Mars used to be hard to get here in the early Seventies. Now everything is at the click of a button.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Did a quick search for the Two for the Price of One album-as an LP it is not cheap...
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: It is, like a few of their 45s, beloved of the Northern Soul crowd and as a result is in high demand
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Think we have all sold something that we regret ten minutes later.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: This is true
	4:17pm doctorjazz: As a borderline horder, think I haven't sold much I regret. The problem becomes, "where the hell did I put that...?
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: That is a much bigger problem for me.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: One of these days I'm going to need to downsize-that will be very traumatic.
	🥁 4:20pm Brian in UK: There are certain records that will be with you for the longest time. You know what they are.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: PROGRAMMING NOTE: I will be on the air this Saturday from 2PM to 5PM filling in for Dave Sewelson and Music For a Free World. Doing an all-Brazil show
	🥁 4:22pm Brian in UK: Larry was busy in '67.
	4:22pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: He was indeed!
	🥁 4:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): I've seen some impressive record hoarding, however i have occasional purging bouts myself…
	4:25pm doctorjazz: Love this Triumphs track, hadn't heard it before!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, top quality Northern Soul!
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't describe my collection as a hoard, because the records are organized and cared for, that said there are A LOT of them
	4:28pm doctorjazz: GST-haven't done much purging up to now (was around when a friend purged a 10.000 CD collection, but was under strict orders to keep it to a couple hundred).
	4:29pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, family work-out time, thanks Larry, great show!
	🥁 4:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): doctorjazz: whoa!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Bye Doc!
	4:30pm Matt from New Orleans: Tell Jane Fonda I say Hi Doc
	🥁 4:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i've helped one of the most impressive record hoarders i know move his collection not once but twice! And NO BOXES!!!
	🥁 4:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The first time, all the friends showed up with our various vehicles and filled them with records. The second time, he rented a big truck and just started filling it up!
	🥁 4:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): And about half the collection was flamenco
	4:33pm Matt from New Orleans: With piles of stacked records?
	🥁 4:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Matt from New Orleans: yes! I have a photo i took of him in that big truck, just lining them up along the bed and stacking them. I wasn't at the other end when he unloaded, so i have no idea what THAT was like! CRAZY!! Thousands and thousands of loose records!!!
	🥁 4:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): At least most of them had covers!!!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Y'all know this is Uhura, right?
	4:38pm SquigY0: oh YES!!
	🥁 4:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): wow!
	4:39pm Matt from New Orleans: Lieutenant Commander Uhura
	4:40pm Matt from New Orleans: Is this about nose candy or the soft drink?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Knowing Johnny and Larry, probably blow
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Or a by-product of the smelting process...
	4:44pm Matt from New Orleans: I love listening to Pops’ guitar
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite sounds!
	4:48pm Sem: Had no idea about Larry Williams. Thx, Professor Larry. Catch you on the fill-in this Saturday, after Mayuko. Seeya!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye Sem!
	4:50pm StringOFperils: I wish this could continue for a few more hours; it's been a blast to listen to all this stuff today. Learned more about Larry Williams' output than I knew. He's a titan. Thanks a lot for this !
	4:50pm Erica: It's been fun I agree SOP.
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	4:52pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. A true pleasure to dig back into Mr Williams impressive body of work.
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Matt!
	4:54pm Erica: This show went by too fast.
	4:57pm Lizardner Dave 2: Great show, thanks!
	4:57pm Matt from New Orleans: I first read Walking to New Orleans by John Broven in the early 90s and learned about Larry.
	🥁 4:58pm dutchtheo: Thanks Larry G! And Larry W! I'm in for an all-nighter. Vulcan salute!
	🥁 4:58pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Wait, what, it's over? Thanks, Larry! Gratitude to ALL who keep WFMU flowing through the streams!
	4:59pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Larry!
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening everyone!
	4:59pm Erica: Not sure if I can make it Saturday. I might have to catch up in the Archives or listen to what I can. Until then, see ya guys!
	5:00pm SquigY0: thanks for keeping us sane, Larry!

	3:52pm Erica: Oops it was posted twice. Don't need spamming here.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: I am not, but I will look them up.
	🥁 3:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): A phenomenal Bay Area band that no longer exists, though former members are still making amazing music in bands like Faun Fables and Rabbit Rabbit Radio
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: If you have a second, go look up this album. GREATEST ALBUM COVER OF ALL TIME!
	3:54pm Erica: Gangster of love? Not a space cowboy?
	🥁 3:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha ha! excellent cover!!!
	3:55pm Matt from New Orleans: I actually prefer the 45 picture sleeve with the green font www.discogs.com...
	3:55pm SquigY0: yeeeeehaw!!
	🥁 3:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i'd love to see some outtakes from that photoshoot
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Gangster of Love was one of Johnny Guitar Watson's early hits in the 50s
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: I wanna testify.
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:59pm SquigY0: then you've come to the right place, Brian!
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: AMEN
	4:00pm doctorjazz: Great Zawinul cover, get the grease in it!
	4:00pm Erica: Oh really? I was making a Steve Miller Band reference by the way. Also I never heard this soulful version of Mercy Mercy Mercy before.
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: Steve got it from Johnny!
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Great album (I'm trying to cut down, CUT IT OUT!)
	4:03pm Funky16Corners: One of the great soul albums of the 60s
	4:04pm Erica: The more you know.
	4:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Is that a French issue?
	🥁 4:05pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Erica: Yeah, i think Steve Miller's song refers to a lot of great musicians he was influenced by!
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: It is
	🥁 4:06pm dutchtheo: David Lindley i presume
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: You presume correctly!
	4:06pm CHUCK ROAST: I think Johnny is using a Fender Fuzz-Wah on that last one.
	🥁 4:07pm Brian in UK: Guess we could all cut a mean rug, given the facilities.
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: I think all the instruments on that are by the Kaleidoscope, so maybe one of them?
	4:08pm CHUCK ROAST: Aaaaah
	🥁 4:09pm Brian in UK: Side Trips and Beacon from Mars used to be hard to get here in the early Seventies. Now everything is at the click of a button.
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Did a quick search for the Two for the Price of One album-as an LP it is not cheap...
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: It is, like a few of their 45s, beloved of the Northern Soul crowd and as a result is in high demand
	🥁 4:15pm Brian in UK: Think we have all sold something that we regret ten minutes later.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: This is true
	4:17pm doctorjazz: As a borderline horder, think I haven't sold much I regret. The problem becomes, "where the hell did I put that...?
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: That is a much bigger problem for me.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: One of these days I'm going to need to downsize-that will be very traumatic.
	🥁 4:20pm Brian in UK: There are certain records that will be with you for the longest time. You know what they are.
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: PROGRAMMING NOTE: I will be on the air this Saturday from 2PM to 5PM filling in for Dave Sewelson and Music For a Free World. Doing an all-Brazil show
	🥁 4:22pm Brian in UK: Larry was busy in '67.
	4:22pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: He was indeed!
	🥁 4:25pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): I've seen some impressive record hoarding, however i have occasional purging bouts myself…
	4:25pm doctorjazz: Love this Triumphs track, hadn't heard it before!
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, top quality Northern Soul!
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: I wouldn't describe my collection as a hoard, because the records are organized and cared for, that said there are A LOT of them
	4:28pm doctorjazz: GST-haven't done much purging up to now (was around when a friend purged a 10.000 CD collection, but was under strict orders to keep it to a couple hundred).
	4:29pm doctorjazz: Gotta go, family work-out time, thanks Larry, great show!
	🥁 4:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): doctorjazz: whoa!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Bye Doc!
	4:30pm Matt from New Orleans: Tell Jane Fonda I say Hi Doc
	🥁 4:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i've helped one of the most impressive record hoarders i know move his collection not once but twice! And NO BOXES!!!
	🥁 4:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The first time, all the friends showed up with our various vehicles and filled them with records. The second time, he rented a big truck and just started filling it up!
	🥁 4:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): And about half the collection was flamenco
	4:33pm Matt from New Orleans: With piles of stacked records?
	🥁 4:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Matt from New Orleans: yes! I have a photo i took of him in that big truck, just lining them up along the bed and stacking them. I wasn't at the other end when he unloaded, so i have no idea what THAT was like! CRAZY!! Thousands and thousands of loose records!!!
	🥁 4:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): At least most of them had covers!!!
	4:37pm Funky16Corners: Y'all know this is Uhura, right?
	4:38pm SquigY0: oh YES!!
	🥁 4:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): wow!
	4:39pm Matt from New Orleans: Lieutenant Commander Uhura
	4:40pm Matt from New Orleans: Is this about nose candy or the soft drink?
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Knowing Johnny and Larry, probably blow
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Or a by-product of the smelting process...
	4:44pm Matt from New Orleans: I love listening to Pops’ guitar
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: One of my favorite sounds!
	4:48pm Sem: Had no idea about Larry Williams. Thx, Professor Larry. Catch you on the fill-in this Saturday, after Mayuko. Seeya!
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Bye Sem!
