	10:02pm TDK60: Hey.
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Hi all!! Hope you are all fine & dandy!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: hi Kris and all
	10:03pm doctorjazz: Home Boys!
	10:04pm fleep: Did something happen to the Ichiban stream? It doesn't appear on the main page.
	10:04pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy, Drummerkids!
	10:04pm doctorjazz: It seems to be no more...
	10:04pm Kris Holmes: It's down for maintenance
	10:04pm Little Danny: "Unchain My Heart," never a bad version
	10:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Flute!
	10:05pm StringOFperils: ICHIBAN is out of commish. No official info forthcoming as yet.
	10:05pm Kris Holmes: Eric Gale lighting it up on guitar
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: You don't care a bag of beans for me.
	🥁 10:06pm WR: Hi all. Hot humid night w/o AC here. Hope y'all able to chill.
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: apparently "a disagreement" between management (Ken, i presume) and Debbie (who runs ichiban)
	10:07pm Matt from New Orleans: Bummer WR. Larry Grogan just got his new system installed yesterday after being out for weeks.
	10:09pm fleep: Welp, hope it works out. Meanwhile: DRUMMER RULEZ
	10:09pm Matt from New Orleans: I can’t imagine hitchhikers will have much luck until there’s a vaccine
	🥁 10:09pm WR: Sunny & the Sunliners doing nice version of Hitchhike.
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: Kris! Living room dance party just about now!
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: Mona isn’t sounding very feminine
	10:12pm StringOFperils: The toasted soul voice behind the enigmatic smile.
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: Nice one Franco! Ha, I agree Matt.
	10:13pm Little Danny: Haha StringOfP
	10:15pm Franco Twinkie: Hotter that crap in L.A.
	10:16pm Little Danny: I've worked in the garden the last few evenings and I think I've sweated out several pints.
	10:16pm fleep: Santa Anas. Nutball heat.
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: Did anyone ask you if you were insane?
	10:18pm Little Danny: Presumably a Florida record, Mona Lisa
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: I like to walk outside in the rain myself
	10:19pm Kris Holmes: Steve Alaimo production & on Dade so a fair assumption
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: I saw The Dramatics opening for Ike and Tina Turner. Boy did they have the dance steps!
	10:20pm Little Danny: Man I truly love a thunderstorm sound effect
	10:20pm Little Danny: Wow, Franco! Circa what year?
	10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: My buddy Kevin recorded a dubbed out version of this with his band Los Aggrotones with Derrick Harriott. It was released on Acid Jazz last year.
	10:22pm still b/p: This is another on the long list of songs about which I was indifferent when it charted, but which now causes me to make an "Ooooooh, yeah!" face.
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: 1973. I'm trying to recreate their spins as I type!
	10:22pm Little Danny: Jamaican group the Debonaires did a killer version, too
	10:22pm Kris Holmes: There's so much good stuff in the arrangement
	10:23pm Little Danny: I'm picturing matching orange suits, Franco
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: They wore yellow that night. Magnificent!
	10:26pm Matt from New Orleans: That drum was booming
	10:29pm Matt from New Orleans: Is this the booming drum segment?
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: i can claim being too young for a concert in 1973. (but the truth is i didn't appreciate the dramatics until probably around 1989)
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: ...still i'm envious, Franco!
	10:32pm chresti: Go man go!
	10:33pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know Uncle Derrick was still active.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Wow, Fireball was just that!
	10:35pm chresti: Kris, I bet your hair pomade was melting, while mowing the lawn.
	10:36pm Little Danny: Haha it sounded better as usual when you played it
	10:37pm Little Danny: It was a hit. I talked to the founder some time ago. Miami group. Also the pop side is great!
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: Chresti, I did not have pomade in but yes it would have. I was outside school as the 5th Graders drove by to graduate last Thursday & by the end of it my shirt collar was a oil spill :(
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: Little Danny maybe I should revisit the flip sometime
	10:42pm Little Danny: It's definitely a shock after "Fire Ball" (which I believe was an unrelated session group thing), but it's sublime fare for us '60s sunshine pop enthusiasts
	10:43pm Kris Holmes: unrelated session thing makes sense
	10:46pm Little Danny: Cool, it looks like "The Chant" was 45-only
	10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: Wade in the water teases
	10:47pm Matt from New Orleans: Then some my girl
	10:47pm doctorjazz: Or Moma Don't Stand No Cheatin:
	10:48pm doctorjazz: My Babe, that is...
	10:48pm Matt from New Orleans: You’re right
	10:50pm Carmichael: Heya Kris and radio family.
	10:51pm Little Danny: Eddie Floyd on lead vocal? I can't quite figure it out even with google
	10:52pm JakeGould: @fleep: Regarding the “Rock ‘n Soul Ichiban” I know nothing deep, but the official Facebook group for the stream states it clearly; no need to have a Facebook account to read: www.facebook.com... I am avoiding posting even publically known specifics because I really am loathe to gossip about internal politics of anything. So would encourage anyone reading this and following the threads there not add gossip to comments. At the end of the day everyone is on edge nowadays and gossip ain’t no balm.
	10:55pm Little Danny: Clearfield is right in the heart of Pennsyltucky
	10:55pm The Knave: My it's busy over here! Hello everyone
	10:56pm Little Danny: Heya Logan
	10:56pm fleep: @JakeGould thanks
	10:57pm JakeGould: @fleep: As Alf would say, “De nada…”
	10:58pm Kris Holmes: Pennsyltucky makes sense since there are actually FIVE Moore brothers in the band!!!!
	10:59pm Little Danny: Haha that sounds about right. Shit gets weird and woodsy up there. Doug can attest.
	11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: The department store had a record label?
	11:00pm Little Danny: Yep
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: I have a something else by these guys on the Sears label!
	11:01pm Kris Holmes: Joe Stubbs (brother of Levi Stubbs from the Four Tops) was lead on The Falcons "Country Shack"
	11:01pm Little Danny: Ah, thanks! I never woulda known based on voice alone
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: So many great voices in one group
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: I also have a Tennessee Ernie record on the Sears label.
	11:04pm Kris Holmes: Heya Logan!
	11:04pm JakeGould: Furniture stores begat the record player — and radio — industry because they were marketed initially as pieces of entertainment furniture. Thus discs sold at those stores too. And I assume Sears tapped into that for the same reasons.
	11:05pm Carmichael: My first guitar was a Sears Silvertone.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: nothing on the robuck label?
	11:05pm Kris Holmes: Sears go way back with records, 78s etc, but I believe this "Come On Back" was actually tied in with a "Come On back to Sears" advertising campaign
	11:05pm Little Danny: Wild Ones b/w Marty Lennard = solid segue Kris. Bet no one's ever done that before.
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: I would like to have everything on the Sears label.
	11:06pm JakeGould: Also Sears would always try to get a house brand for popular items. Like anyone remember the Atari 2600 video game system that was rebranded specifically for Sears? And that was the 1970s and 1980s.
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: Carm mine too. i traded an lp away for it, i think. by the time i got it one of the machine heads was useless so i just got rid of it and made it a 5-string. then one day it became a 4-string... last i knew it was in my mother's attic, but ...
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: I have two Sears Silvertone guitars, One is a Harmony, the other a Danelectro. Both have a monster crap tone. Different, but equally great.
	11:10pm Little Danny: More thunderstorm sound effects!
	11:11pm Little Danny: The thunderstorm effects with Clark's "keeps on falling!" at the end of this track always kill me
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i still have the Kent electric guitar that my "first" girlfriend gave to me. ... a danelectro or a harmony can be a sears?
	11:11pm Kris Holmes: Breaking down the segue barriers, I can guarantee that zero people have ever gone from The Wild Ones to Marty Lennard!! Hahaha
	11:13pm Carmichael: Harmony and Kay came off the Sears line. I believe the early Danos did too, but not certain.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: noooo...Joey Dee's isn't the original?
	11:14pm Kris Holmes: I have an 1959 Airline (rebranded Harmony Stratotone) which I love
	11:15pm Kris Holmes: Leroy Jones is the cover
	11:15pm Little Danny: "classic" Nashville knock-off label ala Hit
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ah, okay thanks!
	11:16pm Carmichael: The Sears models had solid plywood bodies with a skin stretched on them for looks. The Danos had lipstick pickups. They sounded like hell, and people spend good money today to recreate that awful tone.
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ...i read that danelectro and harmony manufactured for sears
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: (on wikipedia)
	11:16pm Kris Holmes: I love those lipstick pickups, they sound killer!!!
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Sears contracted some awesome shit in the '60's. I was walking around with the Danlectro at the flea market looking for an amp and this guy started following me around PLEADING with me to sell it to him.
	11:17pm Carmichael: Beauty, Kris.
	11:18pm Little Danny: I still have a '60s Silvertone amp head. It's pretty cruddy.
	11:18pm Little Danny: $2000 www.ebay.com...
	11:19pm Kris Holmes: what is your guitar Dan?
	11:19pm Carmichael: They all came off the same line, I know that much.
	11:20pm Kris Holmes: As a vintage guitar collector, expert & appraiser I could greatly expand on this subject but not while flipping 45s every 2 & a half mins hahaha
	11:20pm Little Danny: Supro Stratford, Kris. You're still the last one who touched it. www.gbase.com...
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: A friend has Silvertone Twin. It almost has to much power.
	11:22pm Carmichael: I’ve been bugging a guitar shop guy for years to sell his Harmony Rocket. We’re at about $800, and he won’t budge.
	11:22pm Little Danny: The one with 3 pickups, Carmichael?
	11:23pm Carmichael: Gorgeous, Danny. 3 humbuckers!
	11:24pm Carmichael: Here: https://reverb.com/item/3593571-harmony-rocket-1960-s-crimson-red?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=6481185772&merchant_id=239982678&utm_content=342434997975&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3YrW76X26QIVgxx9Ch3aUQHtEAQYDiABEgKIPfD_BwE
	11:25pm Little Danny: Do y'all have any recommendations on vintage guitar Instagram accounts? I follow @retrofret - would love some more guitar porn
	11:26pm Carmichael: I own 14 guitars, but they’re all newer, 80s and 90s.
	11:29pm Kris Holmes: I like your Supro Dan, it's great
	11:29pm Little Danny: I like it too! Keep vowing to pull it out and get some callouses back
	11:30pm Little Danny: You referred to "Granny Rock" recently on my IG 'cause I'd posted a mambo 45 on this label. Crazy this was on SMC
	11:31pm Kris Holmes: Yes, this is the 45, I couldn't remember what it was when I posted that, love this!! So wild.
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: Have a good night everyone. I’m putting the phone down and will continue listening.
	11:32pm Little Danny: The Metropolitans' "Screaming" was also most uncharacteristically released on SMC
	11:32pm Kris Holmes: night Matt
	11:32pm Carmichael: I have a 69 Gretsch Rocket with thumbnail neck markers and filtertron pickups. Far and away the oldest guitar I have.
	11:33pm Carmichael: *Rocjet
	11:33pm Kris Holmes: nice guitar
	11:34pm Carmichael: Sheez, Roy Head! What am I doing commenting?!
	11:41pm Little Danny: ❤️❤️❤️
	11:52pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: what a great car song!
	11:52pm Carmichael: Awesome song.
	11:54pm Carmichael: I have a 45 about the mighty Morris 10. Dont know much about it, but it’s a cool car song.
	11:55pm Carmichael: Thanks Kris.
	11:56pm fleep: Thanks, Kris.
	11:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks for making the records go around !
	🥁 11:58pm WR: Thank you for curating our Tuesday nights, Kris. Laters all.
	11:59pm Kris Holmes: Thanks team!
	11:59pm Little Danny: thanks Kris!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Kris

	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i still have the Kent electric guitar that my "first" girlfriend gave to me. ... a danelectro or a harmony can be a sears?
	11:11pm Kris Holmes: Breaking down the segue barriers, I can guarantee that zero people have ever gone from The Wild Ones to Marty Lennard!! Hahaha
	11:13pm Carmichael: Harmony and Kay came off the Sears line. I believe the early Danos did too, but not certain.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: noooo...Joey Dee's isn't the original?
	11:14pm Kris Holmes: I have an 1959 Airline (rebranded Harmony Stratotone) which I love
	11:15pm Kris Holmes: Leroy Jones is the cover
	11:15pm Little Danny: "classic" Nashville knock-off label ala Hit
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ah, okay thanks!
	11:16pm Carmichael: The Sears models had solid plywood bodies with a skin stretched on them for looks. The Danos had lipstick pickups. They sounded like hell, and people spend good money today to recreate that awful tone.
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ...i read that danelectro and harmony manufactured for sears
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: (on wikipedia)
	11:16pm Kris Holmes: I love those lipstick pickups, they sound killer!!!
	11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Sears contracted some awesome shit in the '60's. I was walking around with the Danlectro at the flea market looking for an amp and this guy started following me around PLEADING with me to sell it to him.
	11:17pm Carmichael: Beauty, Kris.
	11:18pm Little Danny: I still have a '60s Silvertone amp head. It's pretty cruddy.
	11:18pm Little Danny: $2000 www.ebay.com...
	11:19pm Kris Holmes: what is your guitar Dan?
	11:19pm Carmichael: They all came off the same line, I know that much.
	11:20pm Kris Holmes: As a vintage guitar collector, expert & appraiser I could greatly expand on this subject but not while flipping 45s every 2 & a half mins hahaha
	11:20pm Little Danny: Supro Stratford, Kris. You're still the last one who touched it. www.gbase.com...
	11:21pm Franco Twinkie: A friend has Silvertone Twin. It almost has to much power.
	11:22pm Carmichael: I’ve been bugging a guitar shop guy for years to sell his Harmony Rocket. We’re at about $800, and he won’t budge.
	11:22pm Little Danny: The one with 3 pickups, Carmichael?
	11:23pm Carmichael: Gorgeous, Danny. 3 humbuckers!

	11:30pm Little Danny: You referred to "Granny Rock" recently on my IG 'cause I'd posted a mambo 45 on this label. Crazy this was on SMC
	11:31pm Kris Holmes: Yes, this is the 45, I couldn't remember what it was when I posted that, love this!! So wild.
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: Have a good night everyone. I’m putting the phone down and will continue listening.
	11:32pm Little Danny: The Metropolitans' "Screaming" was also most uncharacteristically released on SMC
	11:32pm Kris Holmes: night Matt
