WFMU: Testify! with Larry Grogan: Playlist from June 24, 2021

Listener comments!
	8:31am Sem: Hi, Larry. Will miss the live show but wanted to mention that Noel's life for a year or two was spent just up the road from where I live in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. After a local fire brigade saved his house from a fire, he wrote a thank you song and recorded it. Made a big impression on the local and very rural community hereabouts. See you in the archives.
	8:33am Sem: And thanks, Doug, for the daily listing of what's on the Drummer stream. Would have missed this show entirely otherwise.
	2:51pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem! Thanks for the memory. I hope you dig the show.
	3:00pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Green Bay!
	3:01pm Phillippe: Hey Dere!
	3:01pm Funky16Corners: Jeff! Phillippe!
	3:03pm Phillippe: Hey Jeff, is Green Bay really green, or is it like Greenland, where they were apparently just kidding when they named it
	🥁 3:03pm Yvang: Hi Larry!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: Yvang!
	3:05pm Jeff Ash: Phillippe, it really is green. At this time of year, a lush green. In winter, though, not green at all.
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: As opposed to New Jersey, which is neither new, nor made of jersey.
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Though Brick is surprisingly brick-like
	🥁 3:09pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry, love the way he has no truck with an American accent.
	3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:10pm Erica: Hi Testifiers! What a nice, cool day for a show.
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - A Brit who spent much of his youth in Switzerland!
	🥁 3:12pm Yvang: The way he sings he could have been Leonard Cohen.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Interesting you should say that... (several Cohen covers coming)
	3:22pm Phillippe: @Jeff sounds nice. Good for fishing?
	3:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Larry et al. Noel had a bit of Newley thing going on?
	3:27pm Jeff Ash: I don't fish, Phillippe, but there is much good fishing here, both on inland lakes and rivers and on Lakes Michigan and Superior.
	3:27pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin! Yes, I think Newley elbows his way into the conversation of Noel Harrison!
	3:29pm melinda: hi everyone!
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: Hi Melinda!
	3:30pm Erica: Hi Melinda.
	3:32pm melinda: I am new to Noel Harrison.
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: I hope you enjoy the show!
	3:35pm Erica: Me too Melinda.
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: The lyrics to Miles Davis' tune by Oscar Brown Jr
	3:35pm melinda: Never heard lyrics for this before, cool.
	3:36pm Funky16Corners: In addition to his own career as a singer, Oscar Brown Jr had a sideline writing lyrics to other people's instrumentals.
	🥁 3:40pm Brian in UK: Yes the Morris Minor designed by Alec Issigonis, the man who designed the Mini. en.wikipedia.org...
	3:40pm doctorjazz: Hi Larry!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - Oddly enough, that song was written by an American, Bob Lind!
	3:46pm Erica: Getting Donovan vibes with this song.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: The last song was in fact a Donovan song
	3:47pm Erica: Figured since it sounded a bit to like Sunshine Superman.
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: Also covered (very nicely) by Hermans Hermits
	🥁 3:52pm Yvang: Nice folkisation of Strawberry Fields!
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: Yes! Probably the track that most drew me into Harrison's catalog. I think I picked up a copy of Collage at a used reord store more than 20 years ago
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: RECORD not reord
	🥁 3:54pm Yvang: "Collage" is a great title
	3:55pm Erica: "Windmills of Your Mind" is probably Noel's most well known song.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: I would agree with that. Pretty big hit, too.
	🥁 4:03pm Yvang: Les Moulins de mon cœur is the french title. Of my heart instead of of your mind.
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Yvang!
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: This is a Noel Harrison original (as is the next song)
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: Here's a link to the brand new show, Kip Brown's Discothech Underground, coming up at 5PM, right after Testify! wfmu.org...
	4:08pm Doug Schulkind: Hey kids, a brand-new show is premiering on the Drummer Stream immediately following Testify! Stay tuned for Discotech Underground with host Kip Brown, live from Three Rivers, Michigan. Join the party here: wfmu.org... Programming note: There will be no Explorers Room this evening, but Little Danny will be on at 10pm (ET) with another wild episode of The Cool Blue Flame.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! No show at all at 7PM?
	🥁 4:10pm Yvang: I knew nothing of Noel Harrison and since the beginning of the show I can't help thinking of Charles Aznavour. By the way Charles A. also famously sang the Michel Legrand song.
	4:10pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners That's right. My fuckup. I forgot to tell you for the mailing.
	4:10pm Funky16Corners: The first track I played was an Aznavour cover. He's def a touchstone.
	4:11pm Mark Slate: The cast from "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E" are enjoying this show.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: Tell April Dancer we said hello!
	🥁 4:12pm Yvang: This can explain that!
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: This Leonard Cohen cover predates Cohen's own version by two years
	4:17pm Funky16Corners: Oh! In other news, I will be back here tomorrow at noon, filling in for Uncle Michael and Hinky Dinky Time with three hours of Latin soul and boogaloo!
	4:20pm melinda: Nice Peaceful, I've only heard the Helen Reddy before this
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: Georgie Fame does a nice version, too, and the original by Kenny Rankin is great.
	🥁 4:29pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hello, Larry and folx! Never heard this version before, very sweet…
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: Hey there Bab a Bee!
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: This is another Donovan song
	🥁 4:38pm Brian in UK: Larry, who produced this album?
	4:38pm Funky16Corners: Peter Pilafian
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: Arrangements by Luiz Henrique
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Don't forget that when I'm done, a brand new show, Kip Brown and Discothech Underground premieres right here on the Drummer Stream! wfmu.org...
	4:45pm Alex In Illinois: I actually remember seeing Jim Stafford sing the previous song on TV some time in the 1970s
	🥁 4:45pm Brian in UK: Were most of his sales in the US? He never really struck a chord over here at the time.
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Hi Alex! It's Dylan song. I'd love to hear Stafford's version
	4:47pm Irene Trudel: Had to tune in late today, so I'll catch the rest in the archives. Thanks for doing this tribute, Larry!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I suspect so, but I also suspect a general commercial indifference, especially when people realized that most of his stuff didn't sound like Windmills of Your Mind
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Irene!
	🥁 4:56pm David Shortell: That's a different "Poor Cow" than the Sham 69 song, right?
	🥁 4:58pm Brian in UK: Another ear opener, thanks Larry.
	🥁 4:58pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Nice discovery for me.
	4:58pm Phillippe: Thanks Larry!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure (not having heard the Sham 69)
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Phillippe!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian! Yvang!

	4:59pm Erica: That Noel Harrison show was something different indeed.
