	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Yvang: Hi Larry! Let's testify in Color today!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Erica: Hi Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Erica: HR Pufnstuf?
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry, Testifiers!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yup
	3:11pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Just got in... hello everyone :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	🥁 ♥ 3:14pm Brian in UK: Hello Reverend. The queue to file pass the Queen's coffin is up to four miles. Sunshine Pop? Funny, I thought all music was POP.
	3:14pm CalZone!: It's a happening Larry World!
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: I'm at the end of the line. I hope I get there before it's too late.
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Cal! You made the scene!
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Erica: Hi Brian. I can't believe it's been a week since the Queen passed away already. Monday is gonna be a very busy day for sure.
	3:16pm Moog1 Radio: We're all part of the scene today!
	🥁 ♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kurt!
	3:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I just bought that Pufnstuf 45 Larry...
	🥁 ♥ 3:16pm Funky16Corners: It's a good two-sider, Vincent
	3:17pm CalZone!: Hey Kurt M1R! Love this HB Wheels album, solid album of sunshiny pop Nuggets!
	3:17pm Joe in SF: Hi, Larry, digging the sunshine!
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: Hey Joe!
	🥁 ♥ 3:18pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - There are no less than three Ellie Greenwich/Mike Rashkow songs on the Hardy Boys album!
	🥁 ♥ 3:20pm Brian in UK: Erica, it has been a year for big things happening. The effect over here is appreciation of work well done. Bring a monarch is not a job. Humility is the biggest part of it. And QE11 did it well.
	3:20pm CalZone!: Whoa, LG...never noticed...need to pull that outta my stacks and give it a closer examination!
	3:20pm Joe in SF: The Hondells, like most of this set, was new to me; I misheard the refrain as "Yester-You"
	♥ 3:21pm Little Danny: hi larry! i love colors!
	🥁 ♥ 3:24pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been an Archies tribute band?
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny!
	🥁 ♥ 3:25pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Yes, they were called Oasis.
	3:25pm Joe in SF: Does Sakkarin (sludgy cover of "Sugar Sugar") count? :)
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - How you settling into the new digs?
	♥ 3:27pm Little Danny: i love it here, larry ♥️ especially since the weather's broken a bit
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: I love the drums on this track
	3:28pm dawneden: Nice to hear the Free Design song off vinyl! It's so good!
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: Hi Dawn!
	♥ 3:28pm Little Danny: you ever gone to the keystone record convention outside of lancaster, larry? spent some quality time there last sunday, found some 45s...
	🥁 ♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: This is the 45
	🥁 ♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I have not. Good stuff?
	🥁 ♥ 3:29pm Brian in UK: Larry, nice one. My theory is that someone has to be poplar at any one time and at that time it was Oasis.
	🥁 ♥ 3:30pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - You know i love me some English rock, but I cannot abide Oasis.
	🥁 ♥ 3:31pm Brian in UK: Free Design never made it over here to my knowledge; though they are highly thought of.
	♥ 3:31pm Little Danny: @larry: it took some digging, but yes - highlight was finding a copy of the del-cords "just a little misunderstanding" if you know that one, it's a harrisburg thing... we'll talk 45s off-line some time :)
	3:31pm dawneden: Gosh, it's unfortunate how that cymbal on the verse of this tune sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard.
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I have that one! Found it in central NJ, though
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Brian in UK: Larry; Oasis = Emperors New Clothes.
	3:32pm dawneden: Hi, Larry! Always wonderful hearing your show. I'm especially glad to have caught you in a sunshine-pop mood! Love to you!
	🥁 ♥ 3:33pm Funky16Corners: I know you dig this sound, Dawn!
	3:35pm dawneden: Indeed I do! :-) xo
	♥ 3:36pm Little Danny: it's sooo good! (also picked up a 45 copy of sagittarius's "truth is not real"; the millennium track you played is what made even think to ask you about the PA record show.)
	3:36pm dawneden: I never noticed before that the Collage adds a ragtimey "Virginia Day"-type break to this song. They also cut "Virginia Day's Ragtime Memories" on a single if memory serves.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: This song was also recorded by Sagittarius
	🥁 ♥ 3:37pm Funky16Corners: @Dawn - That one is on the album, too
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Erica: Paul Williams?
	🥁 ♥ 3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Yes, with the Holy Mackerel
	3:38pm CalZone!: The Paul Williams documentary from a few years ago is really really great. Seek it out if you missed it!
	🥁 ♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: I saw it, Loved it!
	3:41pm CalZone!: Ron Hinklin singers on this one, methinks?
	🥁 ♥ 3:41pm Brian in UK: @dawneden this is a shot in the dark but did you ever write articles for Mojo referencing Nirvana UK?
	🥁 ♥ 3:42pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - On the Anita Kerr?
	3:43pm CalZone!: @Larry, yes...I believe the AK singers were Hinklins crew at that point
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: It's certainly possible, though the LP only credits the Anita Kerr Singers
	3:45pm dawneden: Don Meehan! Yes! His version of "Gaslight" is amazing! You know, he did all the vocals on his singles, if memory serves. Also, Meehan was the engineer for the first-ever US (Sony Music Special Products) CD of the Millennium's Begin!
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: @Dawn - I did not know that. I initially knew that song via the version by Chris and Peter Allen from Australia
	3:46pm dawneden: Funny, this is the same song and perhaps even the same track as the Raiders' "Pontiac GTO"!
	3:47pm CalZone!: Wikipedia says Hicklin was Kerr singers...mentioned
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Erica: Ford. It's the going thing.
	3:47pm dawneden: Oh, neat, I'll have to look up the Chris and Peter Allen version. (Do you mean "Gaslight" or "Silent Symphony"?)
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: The Going Thing were put together by Ford to promote their cars. There's even a Going Thing TV special with Phyllis Diller!
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: @Dawn - Silent Symphony. The Chris and Peter Allen LP is great!
	3:48pm dawneden: Thanks for the tip! I'll seek it out.
	3:48pm CalZone!: I love ever version of 'The Straight Life'!! Bobby Goldsboros finest moment!
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Dawn - I don't recall if it was ever reissued, but it isn't crazy expensive
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - I love Glen Campbell's version
	3:50pm dawneden: FYI, the title on your playlist says "Greet Tambourine." I do love this version!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Just fixed it!
	3:51pm Moog1 Radio: I just purchased the full Status Cymbal LP. Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome, Kurt!
	3:58pm dawneden: Wow, I never heard this Cookies track. Is that Margaret Ross on lead vocals? Such a beautiful and evocative voice!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Not sure. Both sides of this are amazing, produced by the Tokens
	4:00pm dawneden: Interestingly I see it's arranged by "J. Hamiph"--a Tokens pseudonym. That was when the band included the great Brute Force! The B-side, "Wounded," is amazing.
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: Brute Force contributed to their It's a Happening World album
	4:09pm dawneden: Yes, a great album! I'd never heard this Jackie and Roy track. Interesting! It sounds like Artie Schroeck is channeling Sagittarius's "Another Time."
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: It's a non-LP 45. Both sides great (The flip is a Kenny Rankin composition)
	4:19pm Moog1 Radio: Vinnie was on that last track!
	4:20pm Joe in SF: Sucker for the Four King Cousins sound.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - Really! West Coast!
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Joe - That's such a great album
	4:21pm CalZone!: The entire Carnival lp is a blast!
	♥ 4:22pm Little Danny: really dug that version
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - You know it!
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You'd love that Carnival LP
	4:27pm Moog1 Radio: Yes after previewing some other tracks I am not hearing any signature Vinnie licks; probably not him on the 4 King Cousins. I stand corrected.
	4:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yeah, Danny... I bought a copy the last time Larry played a track. Also, this is my absolute favourite SaOG album of them all... needs to go back in the rotation again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: Super-underrated group
	♥ 4:30pm Little Danny: wow, this. brand new to me
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: This album is soooooo good!
	♥ 4:30pm Little Danny: very autumnal
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Erica: Sounds more like folk tham sunshine pop to me
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - His second album is good, too, but the first one has a bunch of English guys on it and the playing is great. He collaborated with Robert John on a lot of songs
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - SOFT and sunshine pop...
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Erica: Indeed Larry.
	4:36pm dawneden: The Summer Snow are great! I tracked down their singer and he has some very nice unreleased demos, if anyone's interested in putting them out. He's the lead singer on Something Young's "Oh, Don't Come Crying Back to Me" (singing dual lead with Curt Boettcher, I believe).
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: He sure sounds like Curt on that track!
	4:37pm Joe in SF: "To Put Up With You" is in my all-time list. Haven't heard Sunshine Co version before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: Mine, too, Joe. LOVE that song
	♥ 4:41pm Little Danny: "image" from this teresa lp is also an all-time fave
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Her originals are so good
	♥ 4:45pm Little Danny: this hb track ♥️
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: There's a great version of this by Bruce and Terry
	♥ 4:46pm Little Danny: oh, really? this is my fave hb track, it's so swoony, will def check out the bruce and terry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: It was written by Larry Marks. I'm pretty sure Bruce and Terry did it first
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: HB covered this, too!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: This Gordian Knot LP is up there with the Millennium as one of the truly great harmony pop LPs of the 60s
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip when I'm done at 5PM: wfmu.org...
	4:51pm fredr: Very nice show this afternoon Larry. Thanks!
	4:51pm CalZone!: Loved that Wild Silk side!
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'll be listening to this set again and more than likely spending more money that I don't have... thanks again for the education, Larry :)
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Erica: Thanks Larry for the soft sounds.
	4:56pm CalZone!: Such an enjoyable show, LG! Thanks for the extra sunshine!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Erica: Later folks!
	🥁 ♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	5:02pm fredr: Happy Hour Kip and everyone! Another Who opening this week
	5:03pm fredr: Happy Thursday Kip and everyone! Another Who opening this week. Nice
	5:04pm fredr: Hey

	3:48pm dawneden: Thanks for the tip! I'll seek it out.
	3:48pm CalZone!: I love ever version of 'The Straight Life'!! Bobby Goldsboros finest moment!
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Dawn - I don't recall if it was ever reissued, but it isn't crazy expensive
	🥁 ♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - I love Glen Campbell's version
	3:50pm dawneden: FYI, the title on your playlist says "Greet Tambourine." I do love this version!
	🥁 ♥ 3:50pm Funky16Corners: Just fixed it!
	3:51pm Moog1 Radio: I just purchased the full Status Cymbal LP. Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: You're welcome, Kurt!
	3:58pm dawneden: Wow, I never heard this Cookies track. Is that Margaret Ross on lead vocals? Such a beautiful and evocative voice!
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Not sure. Both sides of this are amazing, produced by the Tokens
	4:00pm dawneden: Interestingly I see it's arranged by "J. Hamiph"--a Tokens pseudonym. That was when the band included the great Brute Force! The B-side, "Wounded," is amazing.
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: Brute Force contributed to their It's a Happening World album
	4:09pm dawneden: Yes, a great album! I'd never heard this Jackie and Roy track. Interesting! It sounds like Artie Schroeck is channeling Sagittarius's "Another Time."
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: It's a non-LP 45. Both sides great (The flip is a Kenny Rankin composition)
	4:19pm Moog1 Radio: Vinnie was on that last track!
	4:20pm Joe in SF: Sucker for the Four King Cousins sound.
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - Really! West Coast!
	🥁 ♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: @Joe - That's such a great album
	4:21pm CalZone!: The entire Carnival lp is a blast!
	♥ 4:22pm Little Danny: really dug that version
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: @Cal - You know it!
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - You'd love that Carnival LP
	4:27pm Moog1 Radio: Yes after previewing some other tracks I am not hearing any signature Vinnie licks; probably not him on the 4 King Cousins. I stand corrected.
	4:27pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yeah, Danny... I bought a copy the last time Larry played a track. Also, this is my absolute favourite SaOG album of them all... needs to go back in the rotation again.
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: Super-underrated group
	♥ 4:30pm Little Danny: wow, this. brand new to me
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: This album is soooooo good!
	♥ 4:30pm Little Danny: very autumnal
	🥁 ♥ 4:30pm Erica: Sounds more like folk tham sunshine pop to me
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - His second album is good, too, but the first one has a bunch of English guys on it and the playing is great. He collaborated with Robert John on a lot of songs
	🥁 ♥ 4:32pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - SOFT and sunshine pop...
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Erica: Indeed Larry.
	4:36pm dawneden: The Summer Snow are great! I tracked down their singer and he has some very nice unreleased demos, if anyone's interested in putting them out. He's the lead singer on Something Young's "Oh, Don't Come Crying Back to Me" (singing dual lead with Curt Boettcher, I believe).
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: He sure sounds like Curt on that track!
	4:37pm Joe in SF: "To Put Up With You" is in my all-time list. Haven't heard Sunshine Co version before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: Mine, too, Joe. LOVE that song
	♥ 4:41pm Little Danny: "image" from this teresa lp is also an all-time fave
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: Her originals are so good
	♥ 4:45pm Little Danny: this hb track ♥️
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: There's a great version of this by Bruce and Terry
	♥ 4:46pm Little Danny: oh, really? this is my fave hb track, it's so swoony, will def check out the bruce and terry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: It was written by Larry Marks. I'm pretty sure Bruce and Terry did it first
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: HB covered this, too!
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: This Gordian Knot LP is up there with the Millennium as one of the truly great harmony pop LPs of the 60s
	🥁 ♥ 4:51pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned for Kip when I'm done at 5PM: wfmu.org...
	4:51pm fredr: Very nice show this afternoon Larry. Thanks!
	4:51pm CalZone!: Loved that Wild Silk side!
	4:55pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'll be listening to this set again and more than likely spending more money that I don't have... thanks again for the education, Larry :)
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm Erica: Thanks Larry for the soft sounds.
	4:56pm CalZone!: Such an enjoyable show, LG! Thanks for the extra sunshine!
