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.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:33am
Sem:

And thanks, Doug, for the daily listing of what's on the Drummer stream. Would have missed this show entirely otherwise.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:51pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Sem! Thanks for the memory. I hope you dig the show.

Greetings from Green Bay!

Phillippe:

Hey Dere!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:01pm
Funky16Corners:

Jeff! Phillippe!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 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
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:03pm
Yvang:

Hi Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:04pm
Funky16Corners:

Yvang!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:05pm
Jeff Ash:

Phillippe, it really is green. At this time of year, a lush green. In winter, though, not green at all.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:07pm
Funky16Corners:

As opposed to New Jersey, which is neither new, nor made of jersey.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:08pm
Funky16Corners:

Though Brick is surprisingly brick-like
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm
Brian in UK:

Hello Larry, love the way he has no truck with an American accent.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Brian!

Erica:

Hi Testifiers! What a nice, cool day for a show.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Erica!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:12pm
Funky16Corners:

@Brian - A Brit who spent much of his youth in Switzerland!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:12pm
Yvang:

The way he sings he could have been Leonard Cohen.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:13pm
Funky16Corners:

Interesting you should say that... (several Cohen covers coming)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:22pm
Phillippe:

@Jeff sounds nice. Good for fishing?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:26pm
KevinfromBayRidge:

Howdy Larry et al. Noel had a bit of Newley thing going on?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Kevin! Yes, I think Newley elbows his way into the conversation of Noel Harrison!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:29pm
melinda:

hi everyone!

Funky16Corners:

Hi Melinda!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:30pm
Erica:

Hi Melinda.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
melinda:

I am new to Noel Harrison.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

I hope you enjoy the show!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:35pm
Erica:

Me too Melinda.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
Funky16Corners:

The lyrics to Miles Davis' tune by Oscar Brown Jr
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
melinda:

Never heard lyrics for this before, cool.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm
Brian in UK:

Yes the Morris Minor designed by Alec Issigonis, the man who designed the Mini.

Hi Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:40pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doc!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:41pm
Funky16Corners:

@Brian - Oddly enough, that song was written by an American, Bob Lind!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:46pm
Erica:

Getting Donovan vibes with this song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:47pm
Funky16Corners:

The last song was in fact a Donovan song
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:47pm
Erica:

Figured since it sounded a bit to like Sunshine Superman.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:48pm
Funky16Corners:

Also covered (very nicely) by Hermans Hermits
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:52pm
Yvang:

Nice folkisation of Strawberry Fields!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:53pm
Funky16Corners:

RECORD not reord
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:54pm
Yvang:

"Collage" is a great title
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:55pm
Erica:

"Windmills of Your Mind" is probably Noel's most well known song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:01pm
Funky16Corners:

I would agree with that. Pretty big hit, too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:03pm
Yvang:

Les Moulins de mon cœur is the french title. Of my heart instead of of your mind.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Yvang!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:06pm
Funky16Corners:

This is a Noel Harrison original (as is the next song)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 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.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Doug! No show at all at 7PM?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm
Doug Schulkind:

@Funky16Corners
That's right. My fuckup. I forgot to tell you for the mailing.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm
Funky16Corners:

The first track I played was an Aznavour cover. He's def a touchstone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:11pm
Mark Slate:

The cast from "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E" are enjoying this show.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:11pm
Funky16Corners:

Tell April Dancer we said hello!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm
Yvang:

This can explain that!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13pm
Funky16Corners:

This Leonard Cohen cover predates Cohen's own version by two years
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:20pm
melinda:

Nice Peaceful, I've only heard the Helen Reddy before this
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:20pm
Funky16Corners:

Georgie Fame does a nice version, too, and the original by Kenny Rankin is great.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:29pm
Mx. Baba Bee (e/they):

hello, Larry and folx! Never heard this version before, very sweet…
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:29pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey there Bab a Bee!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:35pm
Funky16Corners:

This is another Donovan song
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:38pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, who produced this album?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:38pm
Funky16Corners:

Peter Pilafian
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Arrangements by Luiz Henrique
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:45pm
Alex In Illinois:

I actually remember seeing Jim Stafford sing the previous song on TV some time in the 1970s
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:45pm
Brian in UK:

Were most of his sales in the US? He never really struck a chord over here at the time.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:46pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Alex! It's Dylan song. I'd love to hear Stafford's version
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 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
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:47pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Irene!
Avatar ♥ 4:56pm
David Shortell:

That's a different "Poor Cow" than the Sham 69 song, right?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Brian in UK:

Another ear opener, thanks Larry.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Yvang:

Thanks Larry! Nice discovery for me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Phillippe:

Thanks Larry!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm not sure (not having heard the Sham 69)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Phillippe!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:58pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Brian! Yvang!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 4:59pm
Erica:

Great show Larry. I hope you Will find something for next week.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:59pm
Funky16Corners:

Thanks Erica! I definitely will!
